no longer to he trifled with, and cannot be deluded."

For these wild and unattainable objects, which no-
thing but the brain of a madman could conceive, the
entire framework of society in that unhappy land is to
be convulsed, and the torch of incendiarism, the blud-
geon of the murderer, and the knife of the assassin,
are to be placed in requisition. England must submit
to be trampled beneath the feet of Popish Ireland—
must surrender her religion, her liberties, and her
rights to the keeping of a ruffian priesthood; and her
proud nobility, her spotless hierarchy, the unsullied
honour of her gentry, her loyal yeomanry, all of
which England is justly proud,—must be made to lick
the dust beneath the reptile form of this ruthless de-
magogue, or—what is the alternative ? Repeal ! The
dismemberment of the empire.
There is one obstacle, however, to the success of
either of these alternatives, which the infuriated bully
who prescribed them will find, to his cost, has been
left out of consideration. England herself is now
aroused. She will put in her claim for justice. Eng-
land will no longer be trifled with, even to appease
rebellious Ireland. We have had enough of this
trashy vapouring—this artificial thunder. We have
crouched long enough—conceded long enough—for-
borne long enough. We must now have justice.
Ireland shall enjoy her just share in the representa-
tion, but shall have no more. Ireland shall have her
just share in the Government of the empire, but shall
not be allowed to control every measure, and to absorb
every function, of that Government. The people of
England demand a just, an equitable, and an honest
system of registration for Ireland ; they demand the
passing of Lord Stanley's Bill, and the transfer of the
power now exercised by the priesthood of Ireland
into the hands of those for whose use it was intended ;
they demand protection for their Irish brethren from
the perjtired assassin whose foot is upon their necks,
and whose knife is at their throats; and they will not
rest until each and all of these just demands are
granted.

ISLE OF MAN AND LIVERPOOL JOINT STOCK

BANKING COMPANY.

It may be in the recollection of many of our readers,
that a dissolution of the Isle of Man and Liverpool Joint
Stock Banking Company took place some time ago, since
which a return of about ninety-nine per cent. of the paid
up capital has been made to the shareholders.
On Wednesday, the Ist of April, a deputation from the
directors and shareholders of that company presented Mr.
John Davies a purse of sixty guineas, with the following
address :

" Dear Sir,—ln presenting you this testimonial of our re-
spect and esteem we are happy to have an opportunity of
expressing our grateful acknowledgments of the courtesy
you have displayed as Chairman of the Isle of Man and
Liverpool Joint Stock Bank, of the great care with which
you have watched over our interests, and of the sound judg-
ment with which you have brought the accounts of the
concern to a satisfactory close.

" From the experienc'e we have had of your integrity, and
of the ability you displayed in settling affairs which had un-
fortunately been rendered extremely intricate, we venture to
indulge a confident expectation that in your new business of
accountant you will prove eminently successful, and with
every wish for your prosperity and happiness,
" We remain, dear sir,
" Your obedient and obliged friends and servants,
(Signed) " JAMES PROCTER, WILLIAM CLIFF,
JAMES IRVING, J. G. SNOWBALL,
JAMES JOHNSON, N. C. BOND,
JAMES PARKER,
" And about 50 more Shareholders."
