wo.lking up to Dub- light had broken upon Ireland : witness the eager-
lot sticks in your
ness which I, - - -

ne mom of superstition in Ireland was breaking
up. Its foundations had been sapped ;it buttresses
were rotten. The spread of education had induced
a spirit of inquiry amongst the people before which
Rome quailed and shrunk aghast.
Fertile in expedients—ever watchful in er policy
—she held up before the eyes of her wavering fol-
lowers the dazzling prospect of national indepen-
dence ; she strengthened her hold upon their alle-
giance by enlisting them under her banner in a tern-
'

poral struggle; and diverted, for a time, their atten-
tion from those spiritual inquiries in which they had
shewn a disposition to embark. The chapel became
a political debating society; the altar a rostrum • the
priest a demagogue. And yet even amidst the 'heat
of political agitation—amidst the turmoil of party
animosity—evidences of the spiritual weakness of
Romanism in Ireland would, from time to time,
break out. Apart from the political power which
she exercised o• er her followers, Rome was weak,
and is weak even now; her spiritual fabric a house
of sand—an uncemented mass of crumbling ruin.
And is this a time to weaken and discourage tie
agency by which so much of good had been, and was
daily being, brought about ? Is the moment of ap-
proaching fruition of the object of all the toils and
dangers of its faithful ministers the time when the
upholding hand of the state should be withdrawn
from the Protestant Church of Ireland, and the op-
ponents of that church, and of the truth which it
teaches, should be fostered and endowed ? Assu-
redly it is not; and heavy will be the responsibility of
that ministry, kby whose agency so much of ap-
proaching benefit to Ireland, from the efficient mi-
nistrations of that church, shall be arrested, and the
darkness of the spiritual tyranny of Rome again per-
mitted to settle on her head. Unhappy Ireland—
what a fate is hers !

REPRESENTATION OF PEEIILES-SHIRE„—A corres-
pondent of the Edinburgh Evening Post, in a letter
dated from Peebles, on Friday, says, that an address from
Sir J. G. Sutton was expected to be issued next day. It
was expected, however, that Mr. Mackenzie's interest
will be too strong to allow him to be shaken, although
the feeling against Maynooth ran very strong in the

—The trial at bar in
Attorney-General v.

terminated on Friday last, the jury re-
turning a special verdict for the crown on the second
count, and expressing their opinion that there had been
no proof of a fraudulent use having been made of the com-
munication. After some consultation not heard in court,
the verdict was entered, by agreement, for £70,000. Mr.
Kelly applied to enter a verdict of not guilty on the re-
maining five counts, which was agreed to. The trial
lasted eight days, and each juryman was paid at the rate
of a guinea a day, in addition to two guineas each for

THE NEW PROTESTANT CHRISTIAN PARTY.—The
London correspondent of the Dublin Slateman says,
with respert to the Anti-Maynooth Conference, " I never
saw more real determination expressed to make a decided
and lasting struggle. All political, and even all ecclesias-
tical differences, are sunk in order to unite all Protestants
on the broad basis of Protestantism for a stout contest
for the faith. It is a most glorious straggle, and the re-
sults must be important and decisive. The Peel ministry
is settled. The conservative party is gone as well as the
whig. A new Protestant Christian party, diffused over
the whole land, is sprung up into active life at once, and
the hustings of the next general election will tell a tale
which misrepresentaiives may digest at leisure.

CALEDONIAN AND DUMBARTON JUNCTION R AIL-
WAY.-A railway communication for the important
mineral and manufacturing districts of Dumbartonshire
and country around Lochlomond has been, at length, de-
termined on, under the above title, through the Glasgow
and Garnkirk, which is the connecting link of the Cale-
donian " railway with Glasgow. It will supply another arm
to the Caledonian system," which promises so many
national advantages. The provisional committee, it ap-
pears from the advertisements, represent a very large
amount of local interest, and the stock has been allocated
exclusively in t!le district. The line is to be wrought in
connexion with the Garnkirk railway, and a minimum
dividend of four per cent, is granted by the directors of
that company.

M AYNOOTH ENDOWMENT UNCALLED FOR.—There is
nothing to be said in defence of this unhappy measure on
the score either of necessity or of expediency. We do
not deny, that the sort of education heretofore bestowed
upon the alumni of Maynooth may have been calculated
to narrow rather than to enlarge their views of men and
things • neither can we question the reasonableness of
the wish which would urge the government to improve it.
But has this wish been uppermost in Sir Robert Peel's
mind ? Is he bent on creating in the minds of rho

of Romanism in Ireland, such habits of thinking as shall
induce charity in their sentiments towards their Protest-

arm nretnren, and an earnest desire to impress the same
high lesson on their flocks ? Then, in the name of com-
mon sense, why dons he keep them where thee arp czn • .

rut to no control, except that of their immediate su-
perior—liable to no inspection, ex ept by the Roman Ca-
tholic hierarchy—breathing, day and night, an atmos-
phere of exclusiveness, and imbibing, at every lesson,
draughts from a fountain which is not famous for the
sweetness of the waters which it sends forth ? Was this
wise tritonrrh, o nnll •

as 11-el/trick is, look-
ing at the arrangement from the most favourable point of
vie*? And when we go farther, where are we ? Sir R.
gets no credit, either from friends or foes, for having
acted thr ugh any such high sense of right. Both par-
ties. in this country, believe that his single purpose is to
render Ireland more manageable in his own hands than it
be; and both parties are convinced. And

here, his failure will lie sign;

MANCHESTER AND BOLTON RAILWAY.—OD Satur
day, a special general meeting of the company of prc
prietors in this railway was held in the Clarendon-rooms
s.ntt,

contiderinz and de-

_ lidatio ....„ _,..... .or amaigatnn n with the Manchester and Leedsat rai iolway,and andconso-
to
enable the directors to obtain parliamentary powers to
carry the amalgamation into effect. There was a nume-
rous attendance of proprietors. James Branker,
chairman of the compan"

jeuuvu w me meeting being held in Liverdool was over-
ruled ; and the chairman read the following, which he
said contained the gist of the agreement which it was pro-
posed to confirm :—" The two companies to be tho-
roughly amalgamated. The mortgage dt bt of both corn.,
panics to become one mortgage debt. The Manchester,
Bolton, and Bury Company to receive dividends on their
present shares (6.201) at the rate of £7 per share for
1815, and £8 per share for 1846. In 1817, and ever after.
wards, the Bolton shares are to be considered as Mat-
cheitter and Leeds whole shares, receiving, pro ral4,
dividends on the amount paid up per share. No further
calls to be made upon the Bolton shares until the Mai.
Chester and Leeds whole shares are paid up to the £93,
and the halves and quarters in the same proportion. The
Manchester and Leeds sixteenths to be paid up this year,
as arranged by that company. Each Bolton share to be
entitled to the same amount of new issues of stock ai a
Manchester and Leeds whole share, whether for new lires,
or by conversion of mortgage debt, or from other
,lew
c 'vital. Calls to be made on Bolton shares uniformly
with Manchester and Leeds shares, after the latter are
paid up to £93 on the whole shares, and in the same .iro.
portion on the halves and quarters." Much oppo§tion
Was made to the amalgamation by Mr. Price and Mr.
Kynaston on the ground that considering the prospects of
the Bolton company, a much better bargain might Jaye
been made with other parties. The resolution for the
amaigamttion was carrried by:a large majority; and also
another, empowering the directors to obtain the necessary
parliamentary powers to carry it into effect. The fleet-
ing then separated.
