1 in an address of Dr. CHALMERS to a deputation
from the Presbyterian Church of Ireland.' Not
being allowed to introduce any abuse into the
address presented to -her MAJESTY, and being
disappointed in the scheme for making an attack
on her Ministers under: the guise of a sermon,
the Chief of the Non-Intrusionists.:takes advan-
tage of the occasion, and thus vents his rage on
th Government :—" ThiS great munition (spiri-
tual independence) of all national churches, our
spurious and short-sighted conservatives would,
with singular infatuation, sweep away—giving
their countenance to the unconstitutional aggres-
sions oftliose judicial Courts that are now tram-
pling under foot and effacing,eVery line of demar-
cation between the things of G(in and the things
of C2ESAR. Meanwhile the-Ch urcil of Scotland, in
the midst of these conflicting influences, be-
tween the last governing party which refused to
extend her, and the present governing party
which is attempting to
.enslave her, will steer
her ow,t,i rectilinear way. She will neVer relin-
quish the;principle of it National Establishment,
but will rather be driven from all its privilegeS
and endowments, than receive a mandate, or pay
respect to an interdict,," from the civil power in
things ecclesiakical. -In other words, she will
consent. to be a IfOuntary rather than an Erastian
Church ; and if our pliers will persevere in their
present blind and ruinous policy, acting the part
of Destructives under the name of Conservatives,
she if abandoned by- the State, and erased
from the institutions of the country, commit her
righteous cause to that GOD IN'O will not forsake
her in the day of adversity, and-to the sympathy
and support of the people of Scotland."

This is a fair specimen of the language adopted
by the Non-Intrusionists, and is bad enough for
a lay writer in a weekly periodical, but for a
Professor of Divinity, and a teacher of the sons
of the Church, it is utterly disgraceful. We
wish Mr. Fox MAULE, now the intimate associate
of Sir R. PEEL, joy of his protegee, and we con-
gratulate her MAJESTY on having escaped such
an infliction as a lecture from one of these mis-
guided and rebellious Churchmen.

Party spirit is running high in Ireland. The
representation of the University of Dublin has
effected a split in the Tory camp. All the ultra-
Tories cry out for HAMILTON, and abuse Lord
ELIOT. This faction has the Irish Conservative
Press at its disposal, and accordingly we find the
Evening Mail, the Warder, the Statesman, the
Drogheda Conservative Journal, the Carlow
Sentinel, the Ulster Times, and a host of other
Tory prints, crying "down with Lord ELIOT, May-
nooth, and National Education !" Such, in fact,
are the great questions involved in the election,
so far as a single election can involve anything,
for the University of Dublin. Mr. HAMIL-
TON is plsdged to oppose the grant to
Maynooth and the Irish Education system, and
is therefore the pet of the Orange party ; Mr.
SMITH, the Government candidate, will oppose
neither, and hence the howl raised against him.
" The Government," says the Warder, " in or-
der
to carry out the Popery-bribing principles
suggested by Lord ALVANLEY, and adopted by
Lord ELIOT, might overbear the free voice of the
University. If the grant to Maynooth is to be
doubled next session—if collegiate privileges are
to he bestowed upon Popish seminaries, after
Whig example in England, it would be a conve-
nient preliminary to reduce the University of
Dublin to the level of Kilkenny, Dungarvan,
or Clonmel. Such, we boldly affirm, is the
result contemplated by Lord ELIOT—a msster-
piece of policy in favour of Popery, too bold
even for a Whig. It was reserved for a Conser-
vative Minister to make the treacherous attempt."
Lord ELIOT pleases no party in Ireland. He is
too liberal for the Tories, and too Tory for the
Liberals; and hence, with the exception of the
Dublin Evening Post, he finds no support from,
the Press. We confess we like Lord ELIOT all
the better for this unpopularity. It proves that
his efforts are directed to ameliorate the bitter-
ness of faction, in a country distracted by party
feuds. As regards the Liberal Press of Ireland,
it could not better_serve the real interests of its
party, than by relaxing its hostility to the Irish
Government. Lord ELIOT is certainly nota Tory,
In the sense that word is understood in Ireland.
As regards most Irish questions, apart from per-
sons, his Lordship is a Whig and something
more. One of the greatest delusions under which
the Irish Tories laboured was in supposing that
under the Premiership of Sir R. PEEL, they were
to have a Government of their own kidney.
Such a thing was never intended. Sir R. PEEL
would no more think of refusing the grants to
Maynooth and the Irish Education Board, than
he would of proposing the sequestration
of the property of the University of Dublin.
Only in a dream could any statesman in his
senses, not intent upon pulling down the fast-
rotting prop of Protestant ascendancy in Ireland,
propose to himself the offering such an insult to
the people of Ireland. As fbr the Orange
faction, they have had their day, and must
now make way for a race more tolerant
in- religion, and more moderate in poli-
tics. England can no longer afford to govern
Ireland in accordance with the passions, and
through the instrumentality, of a sect. Ireland
is a Catholic country, and must henceforth be
governed upon principles agreeable to the reli-
gious, no less than to the political, feelings of the
people, just as Scotland is governed. The Orange
faction ought by this time to have learned all this,
and much more. They had certainly time and
opportunities enough before the late vacancy in
the representation of the University. Surely
the fact of the Lord Mayor of Dublin being a
Roman Catholic, is of itself sufficient to prove to
them that the sun of their glory has set for ever.

There is still an absence of political news of
any moment in the French journals. They have
exhausted the Eastern and Right of Search
questions, and though anxiously gazing in all
directions, they cannot discover so much as a
hand's breadth of a cloud in the political horizon
portentous of a tempest anywhere.
The French Government has appointed Cap-
tain BOUET Governor of Senegal.
It is reported that M. ROYER COLLARD has
refused a Peerage, on account of the unconsti-
tutional judicial powers which the Peers arrogate
to themselves. It is much more likely that M.
ROYER COLLARD'S contempt for the French
Peerage prevents his acceptance of so question-
able a distinction.

The St. Petersburgh Journal of the 30th ult. for-
mally denies the existence of conspiracies to assassinate
the Emperor, and adds, that the festivities commemo-
rative of the 25th anniversary of the Emperor's mar-
riage had been celebrated, as set down in the pro-
gramme, with pomp and magnificence, and that they
had taken place in the island of Jelagin and at Peter-
hoff, the summer residence of the Court. " The
King of Prussia," adds that journal, " assisted at all
the feasts. He was seen walking about, sometimes
alone, and sometimes with the Emperor and Empress.
He was likewise present at all the reviews and
parades ; and, if there had been only two conspirators,
it would have been easy for them to make an attempt
against the lives of the two Sovereigns, they having
no escort nor means of defence. The King of Prussia
fixed the day of his departure immediately on his
arrival."

The Moniteur of to-day publishes in its official part
an ordinance of the 10th, by which M. Villemain,
Minister of Public Instruction, is to exercise, ad interim,
the functions of Minister of the Interior. AI.
Duchatel, the. Minister of the Interior, will set out
to-day for the department of the Gironde.
It seems that the King will shortly return from the
Chateau d'Eu. A part of the household Irs been sent
to-day to St. Cloud, in order to prepare every thing
for his Majesty's reception.
The accounts received to-day at Paris, represent
the indisposition of the King ofHanover as very serious..
His Majesty was still at Dusseldorf, in the palace of
the Prince of Solms, where the ablest physicians had
arrived from different places. But, at the departure
of the last accounts, the symptoms of the disorder were
still very alarming. The King is now in his 72d year,
and the Prince Royal, his son, in his 24th year.
