was said that he had joined in a cry o ' T6'l4-111"*S141
the Pope." But he had passed too long a time in " the
Eternal City," he too much venerated the grey hairs of
the venerable Pontiff; to participate in such an expres-
sion ; and God forbid that he should so degrade himself
as to use or to.applaud such language.—(Tory cheers.)
He came forward as the representative of the landed pro-
prietary, the mercantile interest, the Church, and the
bar. These four divisions of the great Conservative party
were united in his support. With regard to his oppo-
nent, Lord Morpeth, there had been no more consistent
and decided opponent of repeal than he had been. King
William the liourth had denounced repeal in the Royal
Speech. Lord Morpeth voted for the address, in reply
to that speech ; and it was in the debate on that address
that the Whigs were, for the first time, called, "base,
bloody, and brutal." Next, the Coercion Bill, Lord
Morpeth had voted for it ; and he had also spoken in
support of it. It was, then, in the character of an exter-
minator that Lord Morpeth appeared before them, for
the
,supporters of the Coercion Bill had been denounced
as exterminators.—(Tory cheers.) These were the parties
who now were united, showing the truth of the proverb,
that " lovers' quarrels were but the renewal of love."
How could Lurd Morpetli, coming from Yorkshire, turn
his back upon English interests, and endeavour to pro-
mote -manufactures in Ireland ?—(Tory cheers.) He
should now conclude by thanking them, for the patience
with which he had been heard.—(Tory cheers.)
Mr. O'CONNELL said that Mr. Gregor), had denied the
report about "to hell with the Pope." He believed now
no such expression had been used by him, and he begged
to withdraw the assertion.

Sheriff PORTER then proceeded to call for a show of
hands. For Lord Morpeth a forest of hands appeared,
and the cheering was tremendous. For Mr. Gregory very
few hands were held up, NI hereupon the Sheriff' declared
that the show of hands was in favour of Lord Morpeth.
Sir JOHN KINGSTON JAMES--I demand a ballot—l
mean a poll; on the part of Mr. Gregory.
The SHERIFF then fixed the polling for to-morrow
morning, at nine o'clock, and proceeded to swear in the
deputies and other officers.
F.The, proceedings terminated before two o'clock.

LITERATURE.
DUBLIN REVIEW. .No. XXI].
Dolman, London, 1842.
The objection which we have so often made
against this Ro• iew—namely that it is much too
havy and proli.% in its character for the purposes
of general entertainment, applies with peculiar
force to the Number before us, which possesses
quite an elephantine ponderosity. Not only is
the matter dull, but the manner is equally unat-
tractive—that is to say, it is almost uniformly
devoid of spirit or vivacity. That many of the
contributors are scholars—and ripe ones too—we
are far froKi denying, for evidences of reading,
and not nufrequently of recondite research, are
manifest in most of the articles; but unluckily
they have not the tact of rendering the various
themes they discuss acceptable to the general
reader. For instance, in the very first article,
" On the Successive Discoveries of America,"
the Reviewer, instead of contenting himself with
enlarging on the authentic- periods- of discovery,
goes back to the days of the Deluge, and the
" Noachidw, or descendants of Noah," as if any
thing in the shape of serviceable reasoning could
be drawn from such remote ages, where all is at
best but guess-work and speculation! The clos-
ing pages of this article are in a far more inter-
esting strain, though we must protest against the
fairness of' any hypothesis which should deprive
Columbus of the honour of having been the first
discoverer of the New World. " It;" says the
Reviewer, " we have established our case rela-
tive to the anti-Columbian discoverers of Ame-
rica, we come to regard Columbus himself' in a
new light. We may not admire him so much as
an original discoverer, but as one who repeated
and established the accredited discoveries of his
predecessors in a most heroic and glorious style of
experiment. It; therefore, we admire Columbus
less as the hardy adventurer who, with a dogged
and desperate resolution, hoping against hope,
launched forth on the Atlantic to discover
he knew not what, we reverence him more
than ever as the keen-sighted and philoso-
phic truth-searcher, who, from the accumu-
lated testimony of ages, in the haughty
independence of conscious genius, moulded
a most refined yet demonstrable theory of
geographical facts." In opposition to this
Theory, however plausibly supported, we still
hold to the opinion that Columbus was the first
European who ever trod on American ground,
and put little faith in the "curious fragments of
ancient Icelandic geographers ;" and still less in
the statement that a in the eleventh century
Adam of Bremen heard of the discovery of
Greenland, from Swein, King of Denmark." The
" Unity and Catholicity of the English Protestant
Established Church" is an article whose object is
to show that this Establishment has no right to
call itself Catholic. The " Elements of Euclid"—
of which, by the bye, we entertain a very shud-
dering recollection—is a paper which will chiefly
find readers and admirers among mathematicians.
For our own part, we must confess to have taken
little interest in its perusal. "Illegality of Crown
Grants of Public Fisheries in Ireland" is a useful,
practical article, wherein the claims of the pa-
tenteesand monopolists are proved to be, not only
unjust, but untenable at law. "Those who
claim," says the Reviewer, "the exclusive fishery
of the sea and tidal rivers, merely because they
happen to have lands adjoining either, are the
most shameless plunderers in existence. It would
argue a very profound and singular ignoranCe of
the history of this country, to suppose that its
present landed proprietors enjoy any privileges
over the sea, and its branches, by prescription.;
and-3 et they blush not, contrary to every'princi-
ple of law and justice, to appropriate to them-
selves the fishery of the sea and its branches ad- •
joining their lands, as if it were part and parcel
of their inheritance." The Reviewer then goes
on to observe that "it only requires that the
people should know their rights and assert them,
to get rid of this enormous injustice. The aban-
donment, in the Limerick case, of the claim to
the exclusive fishery of sixty miles of the Shan-
non proves how much may be gained by an ap.
peal to the law. It' similar attacks be made hi
other quarters, similar results will follow. The
monopolists have neither law, nor justice, nor
public policy, nor public feeling, nor party inte-
rests to sustain them, and must strike at once, if
properly assailed." Of the few remaining arti-
cles, the one that will be read with the greatest
interest is the account of " Van Diemen's Land
under the Prison System."

MOORE'S ECLIPSE
_SPORTING ALMANAC

FOR 1842:

Mr. Moore, of St. Martin's-lane, has pub-
lished this season, with his sheet Almanac, a
good print, both coloured and plain, of Flying
Childers—a horSe well known to the sporting
world. In addition to copious information in the
almanac respecting horse-racing here and abroad,
he has also given the lengths of all the principal
race courses in England; Pedestrianism in 1841 ;
a list of the members of the Jockey Club, the
fights of celebrated pugilists since 1823; with the
prizes, and a comprehensive account of the
more celebrated races throughout the country
during the last year. This almanac will be found
very usefill to sportsmen.

Yesterday evening a resi)eetable young woman,
of the name of Martha Tickney, a servant in the. employ
of Mr. Redbourne, picture frame-maker, of the Vaux-
hall-road, committed self-destruction. It appears that
the unfortunate young woman had formed an attachment
for a young man who had paid his addresses to her and
they were to have been married about five weeks since;
the banns had been published, the consent of her parents
obtained, and she was to have left her situation for the
purpose of being married, when all of a sudden her
faithless lover left her without assigning any cause, and
went to settle in Birmingham ; from that period a de-
cided change had been observed in her manners. About
five o'clock yesterday evening she told her mistress that
she was determined to think no more about her cruel
" William," and requested, about an hour after, leave for
a. few moments to go and purchase a pair of boots,
which was g[,►ranted, and she left home. She proceeded
to the wate4. side, and, when nearly facing the gas works,
threw herself in; and was instantly carried out by the
tide and perished.

THE END OF MORTALITY.—There is some-
thing peculiarly humbling in the dissolution of frail mor-
tality! While the executor pries, with authority, into the
formerly secluded secretaire, and searehes knowingly for
the last will and testament of the frail departed, there is
something of a sickening character to see the legal re-
presentative looking. into the pocket-book or the purse of
the dead, and conning over the private memoranda of a
depopulated spirit. The loved or the paid, who watched
about the couch of the flying soul, are all gone,to some
other occupation, or but occasionally renew the sacrifi-
cial homage of tearful regret or attentive consideration
to the last relics of once dignified man. He who deils
in black does his part, and the people meet, and the laSt
garb or wooden receptacle is brought down the stairs,
where once the living being moved upwards with all the
sprightliness of health, and all the buoyancy of a In!!d
at ease. Then the chamber is cleared, the house is
ven-
tilated, the chair is put into its accustomed place, 'b"e
