We are not much inclined to notice the aberrations
of Mr, O'Cotteatt., so devoted to mis-statements. We
would not.now pay him the compliment of,our•present
chiding, had any of the English Journals taken notice
of the circumstance to which we allude. His natural
element is certainly poetty, at least, so far as invention
is concerned, and therefore, as we consider that in
genera) he is butexacising his metable powers of fiction,
We permit him, unmolested, to rave and rant and fret
his,turbid hour upon the theatie of sedition. In one
of his late flights of fancy, he pertbed upon the Bishop
of LONDON. and with that volatility of NISCICIOD, in
which: the King Mountaineer loves to expand his poetic
wings, be stated as a fact, upon the authenticity of
which be pledged the high valise of his "unimpeachid
Veracity, that the Duke of Wititentee had himself
resented the draft of .an 'Emancipation 13111 to the
Bishop t f LOtinos, and that his Lirpship was actually
canvassing. the votes of the Bishops, to ensure a majo-
rity of voices in its favour in the House of Lords.
It is unnecessary to contradict this iiin annunciation,
for it is now well understoildethat:lnstead of any vac-
ciliation influencing ,the mind of ..Eaglana's greatest
Hero, he is cletirmine& to wield the plenitude of his
sqlOotlty to disfranchise the frirty-sbilling freeholders,
end-suppress the seditious isseMblies now held in every
tovreirnst village, almost every Roman Catholic's house
This we State upon high authority, sad

civritgde of events, becoming, lit the remotest degree a

enehlo,l4 the influence of the Bishop of Lonups, to
sees e many votes among the Spiritual .Peers. Bat,
although -,e,certain Bishop may luxuriate in the.in.
decent pride of being lauded by the enemies of the
Bible, and the doctrines which it teaches, obedience
to authority and brotherly love—such ate not the
trophies which become the exalted genius and re-
flecting mind of Dr. BLOMIIIILD. His Lordship is
aware—and '
what thinking. rational, unbiassed men is
not ? that, though England migtt not immediately be
affected by the gift of additional poser to Roman Ca-
tholics, danger, though perhaps distant, is sure to over-
take every bulwark of Prot -siantistn in the Empire,—
The machinations of Popery would first be- aimed
where the assault might, with greater facility, be con
ducted. That portion of the thurCh of England esta-
blished in Ireland would soon experience the well-
directed artillery of the friating hots of demagogues.
But is not the Church in that island apart and portion
'tat that Establishment to which the Bishop of Losocen
is areched, and of which he is so distinguished an
ornament?, .%%hen a member of the Church of Eng-
land, whether Bishop or Rector. residing either in
England or Ireland, lends the most remote aid to
the cause of the Roman Catholics, in his heart,
he muss; be convinced that every act which bespeaks
his patronage of tbeir cause, is an assault against the
stability et the Chnich in England—every word that
proclaims his advocacy is an argument for the demoli-
tion of that Church—and every advance which the am-'
bition of Popery makes, by his assistauce, is a blow
aimed by himself, not only at the temporal existence of
the Protestant religion, bet at the toleration of arty -dis-
seater from the Church of Rome. • Happily for 'Eng-
land, her Church is now connected with that inirelind.
If it wire not so, she might regard the sinuous motional
of the arch-deceiver Popery with a note careless eye.

But now she watches all its evolutions, well persuaded
that if the child which the has protected be 'nee caught
withio the otitis of Janet martyrs the mighty Laoioou
bilpiself will ere long be entwined in the deadly ens-
- Imam. This Noakes the Bishops sod Clergy in this
country as animated in the cause of Protestantism as
those erhu are in the hottest flue of the pet scenting fac-
eis Ireland. They know and feel that there the
%tattle of the Reformation is to bit funk—there is the
itonoine cause of civil and religious liberty to be de-
fended—s-there the temporal possillions uf our. English
astrtit to be preserved.
Ilse advocates of Emancipation in Ireland might as
