FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 22, 1835.

By the Isabella, Captain CAMPBELL, which arrived
here yesterday, we have papers and letters from.Deme-
rara to the late date of the 19th. April. The conduct of
the Governor and his stipendiaries is still the subject of
much unpleasant discussion. The refractory spirit of the
apprentices had been curbed by forcible means on some
plantations, and affairs, speaking by recent comparison,
look more favourably. .

'We beg leave to call attention to two poweifolly.
written letters addressed by the Earl of WINCIIILSEA to
the protestants of Great lititaid, and which will be
found in another page. The experience, •consistency,.
and talents of the noble earl well quaiify him to speak
to his countrymen. at the present crisis ; while the strain
'of piety and scriptttal-sentiment which pervade his ad-
dresses must recommend them to the attentive perusal of
every sincere Christian. •

We have neither space nor time at present to provoke
discussion upon the principle assumed by. Lord WIN-
CIIILSEA; that it is the duty of the British protestants,
for the reasons assigned, to expel the Roman catholics
_from the British parliament. Men who cannot be trust-•
ea on their oaths ought not to be trusted in any legi§la-
live capacity whatever; but as to the practical part of
this principle— TILE TIME IS NOT. YET, That it will
conie, we have no 'manner of doubt whatever. Dire
necessity—the last security for our lives and liberties—
the resort of men in extremity contending for their holy
religion, their property, and all that is dear. to them—
'ill yet enforce this exclusittn against the koman catho-
licsat least those of Ireland.. From those of England
we have nothing to fear.

has been heard of, too, in conjunctiuu with elections, and
distinct from the bout: published in his name.
Sir Stewart-Bruce—the kind, the amiable, the polished man,
-and perfect gentleman, has been rudely and discourteously dis-
missed from it he situation of Master of the Cereioonies, to make
,way for one of Mr. O'Connell's hangers• On.
'Tice work goes on without any delay ! No sooner is
Lord MutPRAVE in Dublin than he begins to act upon
his instructions. " I must be obeyed !" exclaimed the
dictator, glaring' down 'upon the baboonity of Lord JOHN,
when they had settled' the treaty ; " Mind !" said he,
with a savage smile, "I must be obeyed in all that re-
lates to office and patronage in Ireland." "You shall be
obeyed," answered the pigmy statesman, looking like
the blank page in Tristram Shandy. •
The law. appointments, we have already seen, were
given to nominees of O'CONNELL—Lord PLUNOTT was
retained upon 'sufferance—Lord WELLESLEY, being too
unbending, was rejected—but it is not in the higher of.
fices only where O'CONNELL is to, exercise control. He
will not suffer a turnspit to remain in the kitchen of the
k Castle of Dublin who has not paid homage to the dicta-
tor,,or made his peace with his highnesS's father con-
fessor. No matter what the situation is, the, person who-
6H~ It muSt, in some way or other, be a creature of him
whom the King of England, not many months ago, as
advised by Lord GREY, denounced from the throne. The
office of Law Adviser of the Crown has for several years
been filled by Mr. Sergeant GREENE, a gentleman of un-;
stained honour and acknowledged talent ; but be is re-,
rooted to make way fir a Mister BRADY, whose name
has never been heard of except- in connexion with some
underhand electioneering proceedings of the demagogue.
.Alr. HunsoN, the Deputy Law Adviser, is also super-
seded, to inake way for some other Mister BRADY, as un-
known and as respectably employed as the other. Even
the Master of the Cerembnies at the Castle Court, who.
has never been-accused of partypredilections, and wltbs-e •
office is anything but a political one, is also turned adrift,
at a moment's notice, to make room fo-r some bell-ringer
of a mass-house, or some professor of dancing in the
• °'CONNELL family. Merrily then the work goes 'on ;
the Saxon is now fairly on the rack; O'CoNNELL has it
all his own way !
We know not what. effect this intelligence will produce
when it is Cominunicated to.the People of England. They ,
perhaps, in the first burst of surprise, call to •
-Mind Lord MELBOURNE'S solemn.declaration that he had
not made any terms with the demagogue, and that be,
the prime minister, did not know whether his govern-
Merit was or was not to receive the support of O.CON.
NELL. Englishmen will reflect upon that declaration
with feelings of astonishment in the first instance, and,
Perhaps, of sorrow and indignation soon after. They
• will naturakk,Ny, Lord MlitnounNE could not have de-
ceived us intentionally—he is of too proud and noble a
nature to palm a deliberatp falsehood upon his country•
men--he would disdain the mean ambition of making
himself responsible for a delegated trust, or of gratify-
ing aby resentment at the expense of his fame and cha-
racter, or that would be iepugnant to the honour of his
sovereign and country. No, the generous people of
England, who know nothing of mental reservation, who
lave pot been exposed to the frauds and artifices of a diii-
horxest priesthood, who respeetlttuth; and would shudder
at the bare idea of violating an oath—thev, will not con-
!lnn any man or minister upon mere suspicion. They
01, according-to their habits of reflection and their
sense of justice, assume that Lord MELBOURNE is inne-
ce‘nt, as be declared himself to be, of any compact with
CONNELL. But they will come to this conclusion,
•
that, being innocent, he has been most shamefully and
4ilfattionsly imposed upon—that he ;s the dupe of some
