of those who threw stones, and even supposing
that was not true, if he was one of the crowd
from whom the stones were thrown, and thereby
gave encouragement by his presence, he would
be guilty-under the second count, which charged
him with resisting his lawful capture. The
offence of the prisoner, even according to the
Judge's own showing, was of a very venial cha-
racter. The Jury, after deliberating -fOr one
hour, found the prisoner gifllty, but. strongly re-
commended him to mercy, and the Judge concur-
ring, as he said, in the recommendation, hu ma nelY
ordered the prisoner tl be sent to the tread-mill
for three months. Our readers must be informed
that this convict was not a pickpocket, or a thief
Or any description, or even a Chartist, as far as
we learn from the evidence, but the foreman of
a respectable builder, with from eight to eleven
men under him, and had been in that situation
for the last four years. He had, according to
the evidence of his master, five children, and
there could not be a more peaceable, discreet
man, or a better husband and father; yet a work-
ing man of this class, the pride of our country,
and the main source of our superiority over
. other nations, is sentenced to an ignominious pu-
' nishmeat, for what the humane Whig Judge,
the late Member for Falmouth, calls " resisting

his lawful capture." If this is the law of the
laud, if this is the result of our liberal Constitu-
tion, then who c3n blame those who require a
change ? It is altogether a painful subject, and
the more painful when this severe sentence is
passed by a man who obtained the office of So-
licitor-General, and ultimately of Judge, from
professing himself to he a friend of the
people and a hater of oppression. Every
unprejudiced person admits, and Baron ROLFE
cannot be ignorant of the fact, that all the dis-
turbances at Kennington-common were caused
by the atrocious, the wanton, and the brutal at-
tack made by an armed police on a crowd of
unoffending men, women, and children. Under
such circumstances, a real friend of the people,
a lover of justice and mercy, even a true Whig,
would have made allowances for the excitement
caused by conduct so outrageous and so repug-
nant to the feelings of Englishmen. But the
real offenders escape, and a man who is a good

Mr. D. CROWTHER, the Assistant-Secretary
of the Dublin Protestant Operative Association
has politely requested us, on behalf of the Cons
mittee thereof, to be kind enough to give inser-
tion to some fifteen printed pages of a theo-
logical address •of that 'erudite Society to the
" Hon: and Rev. GEORGE SPENCER," on the
subject of his conversion from the faith of Can-
terbury to that of the Vatican. We must beg
to be excused for declining to comply with'a re-
quest the reasonableness of which would have
been more apparent .had the "Assistant-Secre-
tary" instructed us to deal with it simply as an
.advertisement, for the expense of which funds
were provided by the Committee of the Theo-
logical Operatives of Dublin. Nevertheless,
our good-nature is such, that we cannot, with-
out some notice, throw aside a document so in-
teresting as this effusion of the Christian charity
and apostolic orthodoxy of the Irish Protestant
Operatives. What a coptrast does it not form to
the doings of the same class of men in Eng-
land ? While the Protestant operatives of Eng-
land are quarrelling with their employers for
higher wages, and with the landlords for a
cheaper loaf, their more erudite Irish brethren-di- •
versify the intervals of repose from the
labours of the loom, the forge, the
turning-lathe, the adze, the hatchet, and the
hod, by deciding, with the mandatory authority-
of an (Ecumenical Council, the merits of the Ho-
moousian and Homoiousian controversy, and in
humbly co-operating with the DEITY in barring
the gates of Paradise against the entrance of
Papists. There are thousands of sober, reflect-
ing Christians who, we fear, will be rather scan-
dalized at the off-hand, slap-dash style in which
the orthodox hodmen of the Hibernian capital
" pitch the Papists to perdition ;" but that will •
only testify to the fearlessness and the zeal of
the Irish confessors. Nor does the address of -
the Protestant Operatives confine Papacy within
the ordinary limits recognised by Englishmen.
In the category of reprobates the Operatives in-
clude the Puseyites and Newmanites, and, worse
still—the " shallow Protestant hypocrites" who
voted for the Education grant—including Sir
ROBERT PEEL, Lord STANLEY, Sir JAMES
GRAHAM, Mr. GLADSTONE, Sir ROBERT H.
INGLis, Mr. Sergeant JACKSON, and every Pro-
testant Member, without exception, in the
present Parliament. We must endeavour
to gratify any curiosity excited in the
minds of our' readers • by quoting a few
gems from this address, too rich to require the
exercise of any skill in setting. Like the perfec-
tion of female beauty they will be pronounced,
when " unadorned, adorned the most." With
that exceszive modesty so characteristic of the
nation, and the professions of the members of
this theological association, they thus clear the
ground for a regular "scrimmage," not only with
their Hon. and Rev. Opponent, but with every
Member of the Cabinet, and every Protestant
supporter of itspolicy in the two Houses of Par-
liament :
If the Roman Catholic Church he a Church of
Christ, by which salvation is attainable—if its principles
be such as may be innocently taught—if its priests may
properly have the cure of soul*, then ought Popery to be
established in Ireland—the Irishmen who think so be-
come Papists, and our Church be pronounced to be a
lying synagogue of Satan, fur it has denied all this, yea,
protested against it. We loathe and abominate the in-.
consistency of tiro shallow Protestant hypocrites—falsely
eiNed Protestant—who think one thin; and act another;
who support thenational system of Irish education and
Maynooth ; who propagate Popery with the national
!funds, and pension Popis chaplains in workhouses and
gaols—in the army aad navy. The inconsistency of hese
wretched halters between two opinions we vlespise, while
ire confess that you are honestly, boldly, and laudably
consistent, though deeply and deplorably in error.
If these questions were to be decided by the
greatest Divines of the Church of England, we
fear the POPE would have a cheap bargain of
the Dublin Operatives; for, assuredly, the great
Fathers of the Anglican Church all agree in the
opinion that not only salvation is attainable in
the Church of Rome, but that the ordination of
its priesthood is valid, imparting to them the
l:loLv GHOST by the laying on of hands. The
Roman Catholics believe in CHRIST, and
the 18th of the Thirty-nine Articles of the
Church , of England pronounces all accursed
• who do not hold such belief salvationable.
Nor can we agree with the Operatives,
that because the gates of Heaven arc open
to virtuous Catholics, therefore the Church
of England is to be stigmatized as a " lying
synagogue of SATAN." There is nothing in the
Scriptures, or the Thirty-nine Articles, to justify
the uncharitable belief that the Most Rev. Drs.
WHEATLEY and MURRAY may not meet in the
mansions of the blessed as well as at the Irish
Education Board. " Believe in the Lord JEsus,''

shalt be saved thou and thy house." He did
