FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 1836.

The ministerial candidate,. Sir GRAY SKIPWITEL
been defeated by Mr. SHIRLEY in South Warwickshire°
by a De% onshire inajolity. A few months ago thkwiwie
(if the members of the county were radicals, un.w. threes-
of the four are conservatives! Of course there is no re'
action! The particulars will be found in another place'
There is one circumstance connected with this victory
of which the conservatives have reason to. be , proud'
namely, it has been obtained over a very .amiablif man
and highly esteemed gentleman. Sir GRAY SKIPVII-11

has to ascribe his defeat entirely to the badness of his
cause, the odium in whieh ministers are held, and the
unnatural alliance they have formed with an Irish rebel'
Principle has prevailed over personal feelings and local
attachments, and we trust the lesson will not be lostupoll
the country..

The Lords, on Monday evening, rejected the propose
amendments of the Comtnoni on the Irish Municip.ll
Corporation Bill by a very large majoritY-220 t0.;:123'
We rejoice to say that there was no attempt at axon'
promise, except by Lord GREY, who confessed that he
was unacquainted with the details of the measure. :T he
noble earl indulged in a tedious string of common places,
which looked like the clippings of a long lifetime of
dreams, in which the superficiality of the wliig .was
blended with the haughty bearing of the aristocrat. gis
lordship said he appeared once more in public life. as 3
peace-maker, but. unfortunately his advice was imppoti'
cable.

We have endeavoured to make room for a tolcrably,
fair report of the most masterly and eloquent speech Ur
the night.--that of Lord LYNtintiasT—in which the base
misrepresentations of the Irish beggar wer.e• torn-. to
pieces and flung in his face amid the asclatnations of the
house, and in which the " weak intellect" of Lord jouri
RossEt.t, and the undignified partiality of theSPEAKE°
were expised and lashed with withering severity.
the con t se of no inconsiderable experience we declare we
hate never seen any minister of the crown reduced: to
such pitiful littleness, so gallingly punished, so contetnr
tuously treated, or so unmercifully made thebutt ,of av,er•
whelming sarcasm, as was the leader of the House of
Commons on Monday last,
We rejoice that the peers have had the courage to On-
die.ate their independence, by' adhetit g to:their !former
judgment, for many reaso4s. But there-4i orio:Jettictll
which we think should hate prycedence preiont
moment, and that is to he, found in the. second, letter;
published, addressed by the Kilkenny Mendicant- to .the
people of England. The paragraph runs as follows
" Well, the Irish are at present more moderate—less.woula
now content us—we desire to have tithes totally abolished; or if
any part remains to be I,:vied that it shall be applied to the Or'
poses of giving education to all classes of the people. de
not AT PRESENT demand the' glebes 14 the residence of the
pastors whom the people prefvr. But I candidly acknowledge
that, as the contest continues and grows warmer—as the prole*
taut clergy identify themselves with the wholesale slaughterer'
in the field, and with the more vexatious and exalspereting
villany of the Exchequer attorneys—as the ideas they excite
are of the Itathcormac red with the blood of the eons cf widoya,
or of the odious Exchequer rebellious writs—all conneclil9.n,.
with religious institutinni is forgotten, and the Irish Jagerne.u;._
of plunder and massacre Acids prominent, as demanding those
sacrifices which we formerly thought were only made to a Mere
difference in religion. The time is, from these causes, fait
arising when a compromise will be impossible; and those who:uair
tefuse an anticuble and moderate arrangement will have.te
blame themselves when a similar arrangement shall be rejeco•
indignantly and contemptuously by the people of Ircland.".
The undisguised rebel—the real instigator of assassi-
nation and every foul crime in Ireland—here speaks 906
in language which has no double meaning. line priestfift.
his masters, he tells us, do not mean, at present, to wilt

rob the church and every wotestant landowner of.-the
property they possess; but they frankly avow, that if
theY cannot obtain what they seek by legal confiscatioPo
they; will take it BY FORCE OF ARMS

This, we contend, is the Plain and unequivocal
ing: of the passage we have quoted. The "contelltt:..;
which they complain of is of their own raising—the:..
" vexatious" law processes are caused by themselves-r.l.
the "slaughterings" are the consequences of their awn
acts of agitation and injustice; and yet they hare -th4

prevent that, I shall. not only refuse to pay rent, nUT 1"

This is the literal meaning of the last menace of -the'
wretched man who pleads the cause of popery in Eng
land. This is what is called Juilice to Ireland ! It i*
swindling in the first instance, bullying in the next, WO,

than selfish knavery. Re, the first rogue, owes .inoPet
