and reiterate them ; but whilst we agree with the noble
lord, that "the English are a land-loving nation," we
must have something better than vague theory---sorne
tiling like a sterling principle to build upon before we
can comprehend the meaning of the proposed union of
the " law of England," and the "justice" demanded for
Ireland ; for we maintain that they, cannot be assimilated
by the distinction of that on which the law, of England, is
founded—nainely: its protestantism, guaianteed.b.y.the
oath of the King, as the trustee of church and state;
and which. even
,Lord Fitzwilliam, .under his Oath of
fealty,. is bound. to acknowledge, in principle, however
lie may now deviate. therefrOm in practice, amongst his
Roman Catholic tenants and dePendants. We know tun-
well the protestant, feeling of the King of England to al
low the church in Ireland to be swamped, to gratify the
malice andambition Of o'oOntiell, as far as his Majesty
in his own person, can, con stantionaAly, prevent it: • He
will receive the. Fitzwilliamite petitiOn with respect; bUt
William the Fourth is not to bervaiped frian his.duty,

BISHOP RYDER'S CHURCH AT BIRISII,NOHAM.-li. IS
with great pleasure we are-enabled to inforM our protes-.
taut readers that the subscription for the completion of
this Christian testimonial in 'memory of one of the most
exemplary prelales of our time, and one especially dear
in all the relations of private life, is proceeding most
favourably. To the immediate surviving relatives of
Dr. Ryder, this marked tribute of affectionate esteem,.
must be especially gratifying, and to all those wile,
during a life of unaffected piety and truly charitable
bearing, -or even the acquaintance of the late Bishop;
whether as eterical or lay brethren of our establishment,
or the conscientious members of that body, not strictly
within her pak, but towards whom he invariably extend-
ed the right hand of fellowship,. in the bond of brotherly
love, such a minister wilibe particularly endearing; and,
whilst he " rests from his labours". the spirit which has
left its earthly tabernacle may be said to hover over the
spot where he last stood; and a perpetuity of good
to-
thousands yet unborn will arise through the foundation
of that holy edifice which is designed to record the me-
mory of the.just and prOmote the cause of our God and
Saviour! We -must congratulate our many conserva-
tive and Christian friends in: the opulent town of Bir-
mingham on its altered-condition- from that of " Newall-
bill" demagogueistn ; whilst the cause of our church
Therein, has received a fresh -impulse from the rabid as-
saults of her enemies, and the. underworkings of the
Socinian and the papist; and the venom of the infidel,
-arrayed- against her honour and her usefulness, have re-
coiled upon themselves.; nor- .does our distant locality
lessen our_ warm .sympathy and desire to aid iter_progress
—there is •an -identity of interest and a.,coinmunity of
object, rendered doubly -impressive at this period ani-
mosity against our church and state institutions; and
we take this opporturiity of assuring our kind protestant
friends in Birmingham and Dudley, and throughout the.
kingdom, that the. Lim:Toot,. STANDARD will unflinch-
ingly do its duty. -in defence of our " altars and our
hearths," wherever and bi whomsoever assailed.

We wish to direct the attention of our townsmen to
the advertisement, which appears in another column, an-
nouncing the intended dinner at the Amphitheatre of the
Tradesmen's. Conservative Association. We have no
doubt that the occasion will prove.highly interesting, and
make a permanent impression .upon the public mind.
The members will have a prior claim in applying for
tickets. • . • • - - r•

LIVER root. Exiitarrtoist.--The exhibition of paintings
°continues to be very well attended; when the weather is fine it
is freßaently crowded. It 'forms a most delightful lounge. In
;the water-colour room there has 'been a slight alteration in the
position the paintings which has brought into more prominent
view several beautiful little gemi. N 0.58.1, Viola, enamel, by
J. Haslein, is exquisitely finished. Near this is another enamel
portrait of Lord Byrom (No. 594) by the same artist, the finish
of which is exceedingly beautiful. Underneath these are seve-
ral portraits,-hy W. Barclay, of must perfect finish ; especially
W
a portrait of J. . Hogg. Es..,
M , for Beverley, which is
also a striking, likeness; porlreit of the Hon. Lord Hobert
Grosvenor, M.P., and a sin it portrait of the same, for a brace-
let, which, in finish, is a,poif,,.t A portrait of Kosciusco,
(No. 523,) by J. -W• Maurat, is one of the most beautifully
finished portraits we ever saw. The light and shade are so ad-
mirably
adapted as to give it the positive appearance of sub-
stance. The eye can be scarcely brought to believe that the
coat and the neck handkerchief are a flat painting, and not what
they are represented. We shall recur to each of the other
rooms on a future occasion.
