t will be a warning to future politicians, that, after

onesty is the best policy, and that, sooner or later.
treason to the Crown, the constitution, or the people, is sure
its due punishment. Having thus sacrificed the
of PEELITE offenders to appease the NEMESIS of violated
public faith, what have we done with the revilers of our
Church, the scoffers at our holy religion the slanderers of our
venerated clergy ? Cockermouth has answered for HORS.
MAN, preferring even thatchattering magpie AGLIONBY to
the scurrilous libeller of all that is sacred. Oldham has
discarded that dissenting preacher, the philosophical
Unitarian or Nothingarian Fox. Plymouth has thrown
over the Semi-Papist ROUNDEL PALMER ; and Maidstone
has sent the Romanising Hoes to Ireland, to see what the
priests can do for him. So we will no longer have the
House of Commons turned into a bear garden for the bad-
gering of bishops and dignitaries of the Church ; nor into a
Socinian lecture-room, where blasphemous slang may be
ventilated, commingled with the twang of the conventicle ;
a workshop, where the designs of the Propaganda
be wrought into shape. Manchester has made
Quaker BRIGHT shake in his shoes, and the turn-coat
MILNER GIBSON tremble for their future seats. The
snipe-nose Lord EBRINGTON has been rejected by Barn-
le, and obtained permission to indulge his sweet-
smelling fancies by poking into drains and sewers undis-
turbed by senatorial duties. The MASTER of the Rotas
and RALPH BERNAL, the especial twin pets of the Whig
Government, have been dismissed the public service by
the people of Devonport and Rochester.
We have restored that blessed legal luminary, the late
Whig Attorney-General for Ireland, HATCHELL—the only
r on record who would not give you talk for your
money—who never had a word, good, bad, or indifferent,
to say for himself, or the fools who retained him as their
counsel—to that forensic bar of which he is the glory and
the ornament. We have:given him a "long vacation," and

WnoLzsALE ARRESTS IN LOMBARDY.—Political ar-
rests are now going on in Lombardy to an extent which
proves at once the universality of the dissatisfaction with
the Austrian Government, and the consciousness of the
Government that it is in imminent danger. There have
been forty-seven arrests in Mantua and its province ;
others at Verona ; others at Brescia ; others at Milan, &c.
These wholesale arrests have their rise in the following
incident. A search was made in some house, on suspicion
that the inmates were concerned in smuggling. One of the
Mazzini loan notes was unexpectedly discovered in the
house. The holder of this note, a patriot to some ex-
tent, but not a member of the organised association of
patriots which extends over all Italy, was induced to
mention the name of the person who had given him the
note. This person was arrested ; all the letters, even
those of the most immaterial and inoffensive kind, fotind
in his house, were used as indications of new persons to
be arrested, the Austrian police hoping that the very
multiplicity and promiscuousness of the arrests would
lead accidentally to discoveries. Perhaps the most signi-
ficant fact connected with these arrests is the condition in
life of the persons arrested. Among the forty-seven ar-
rested in the Mantuan province are the brothers Nuvolari,
Dario Tassoni, Frederic Rossi. Pedrani of Gonzaga, the
Arcipreti (heads of the clergy in their respective com-
munes or municipalities) ; Ottonelli, of San Silvestro ;
Cessi, a notary; Joseph Finzi, a landed proprietor, &c.
..... Professor Henry Tassoli, a priest, was arrested a few
our own ground, the counties ;--a—nd then, I months ago, and has been, since then, in prison ~._ •
