As cunning in raising artificial excite-
ment as the notorious Mr. BARNUM, of American
renown, he has made his visit to Liverpool one of
profit to the cause, and by his zeal on behalf of the
pretended " Catholic" Institute and similar good
offices at Birkenhead, laboured to foster the belief

in the increased popular feeling in favour of Ro-
manism. In all these thins Rome carries nut the

same spirit which has ever animated her, and which
has stained her annals with crimes of the deepest
dye. Crafty and cringing when weak, becoming
bolder as she advances, and tyrannous when strong
she is

lways an enemy to be feared. No conces-
sions will conciliate her malice, and as her claim

is for absolute subjection, she admits no rival
where she has the power to prevent it. Loyalty
to the throne, obedience to the laws_ serial nffor,

tions, moral duties, ties of kindred, political obliga-
tions, and even reliance on the mercies of a
Redeemer, all must give way to her insatiate thirst
of power, to attain which the most unscrupulous

means are resorted to,

And what has England done to check the
soul-destroying incubus which is thus being
insidiously spread P The Legislature has
weakened and destroyed, one by one, the safe-
guards which the wisdom of our ancestors imposed;

a treacherous Ministry has openly encouraged the
treasonable attempts to subvert the authority of
the Crown, and all the resistance that has been
offered is the isolated and ill-supported exertions
of some faithful few among' our own Clergy, who
have laboured unceasingly to raise a warning voice
against the torrent of infidelity and superstition
which threatens the permanence of our existence
as a Christian nation. Our enemies are in the
State, in the Legislature, and amongst those Li-
beralising politicians who hold religion to be a
matter of no concern, so long as they are allowed
to think as they please, and adopt or reject every
changing wind of doctrine. But, as a nation, we
have a higher and holier interest at stake ; and
our people who can appreciate the blessings of
Christianity should not only support more liberally
those of our Clergy who labour faithfully and
zealously in the LORD'S vineyard, but, by their

votes at the hustings, return those representatives
who will maintain the Protestant religion as by
law established.

GREAT BRITAIN is the mistress of the Seas, but

the expression is far too weak to convey even
a faint impression of her immense importance
amongst the nations of the earth, and her great
influence, for good or for evil, over the whole human
family. To her commerce the modern world owes
its civilization ; her ships penetrate the farthest
confines of the globe, and it is by her missionaries
that the glad tidings of salvation reach the be-
nighted heathen. Our own island, though but a
little speck on the map of the globe, raises a larger
revenue, and produces more of the fruits of in-
dustry than any empire ever known ; while our
vast possessions, scattered all over the world, and
comprising almost every important position, con-
stitute a dominion, owning the sway of Queen
VICTORIA, to which history affords no parallel,
even in the palmy days of the Imperial CESAR&
Future historians will endeavour to solve the
question of how this mighty empire•was governed,

English ministry surrendered the Irish people to
the tyianny of the Romish p.

ts, and a perpetua-
tion of ignorance and superstition, the hatred of
bigotry and the poverty of sloth. Mr. DARGAN
gave them a great exhibition in Dublin to stimulate

their industry, divert the rivalry of races into an

emulation for superiority in the arts, and fill their
capital with visitors, who, for the first time in the
history of Ireland, could find something to admire
in the works of her inhabitants. Her MAJESTY
has won the hearts of her Irish subjects by her
well-timed visit, and by the grace, peculiarly her
own, with which she testified her appreciation of
the noble-hearted individual to whom I

enterprise of Mr. DABGAN has given Ireland the
advantage of railroads, employment for her popu-
lation, and the prospective benefits which may
accrue from them. It has served to avert the tide
of emigration which was well nigh depopulating
her, and, by restoring confidence, inciting the
employment of capital, which is indispensable to a
development of her resources. The exhibition in
Dublin will, it is hoped, prove the commencement
of a new era in the history of the sister country,
not only by stimulating the hitherto dormant
energies of her inhabitants, but, by creating an
appreciation of her products, lead to an increased
demand for them. The movement has been made,

the first step has been taken, and if the expectation
be realised, the name of DARGAN Will be handed
