ENDOW

There is every reason to apprehend that the endowale,
of Popery in Ireland has been fully resolved upon by
i;
Majesty's Whig Government. That negotiations of
going on between members of the Cabinet and certain, !,
the Popish Prelates in the sister isle, we have more tla
once taken occasion to state• and it is now underst°
that the recent visit of Lord 'John Russell to Dublin
reference to that among other matters. One of the
ish journals has had communicated to it calculations
the cost of this endowment of that which as Protestant!,
we cannot but regard as a corrupt and hostile religi°

system ; and the following are given as the resu:ts
Three thousand Curates, yearly salary each, £lOO per
annum
One Thousand Parish Pr
each, .£l5O per annum
Seven hundred and fifty town Rectors, year
each, .'3OO per annum
Two hundred dignified and metropolitan Clergy. yearly

salary each, X5OO per annum ,....
Twenty-five Deans, &c., yearly salary each, £lOOO per
annum

This we may consider as a very moderate comp--ttsa7tsi::
The greater probabilityis that,with all its contingencies,i!

Nor can we doubt that this will be granted—unless, in'
deed, a much more determined spirit of resistance is shoo'n
to the wretched device, than has been manifested againb;
other liberalizing expedients of the same political school
during the last twenty years, whether in or out of rarna•
ment. Many of the so-called Conservative party
known to be favourably inclined towards it, including om,
Robert Peel himself ; nay, some of them have shoal
pledged themselves to support it. And we suspect, frof
an article on Ireland in the current number of the Q11,,f, c'
terly Review, that this taint of that sad distemper,w;;;le
has destroyed so much of the constitutional priadirig
which formerly actuated the Country party is sPrea, the
fearfully throughout its ranks. The arguments °`
that
Review are of the most self-contradictory characterut
can well be conceived ; and yet there is a plausibilitY', s
them which will captivate the weak-minded, as reacw,ii,ja;
they will suit the hollow-pr;ncipled, of both the lea
parties in mere politics.

he considered that, as the managing partner resident 0
Barbadoes, he ought to have shown more vigilance

he, therefore, pressed that the certificate should be 5,
pended. He then, at considerable length, adverted
the application of the bankrupt, Mr. Higginson.

and other creditors, including Messrs. Hinds, of LOU

considerable length, then entered into an expositnnot
