THE STATESMAN,

its course has caused universal destructios. Its h: eadth
did not exceed half a mile, within which it left a per-
fect ruin —the potator crnp cut close to the mfr-1
the flax bruised as in a mill—the corn shattered and
blasted, never to rise again' Ali the windOws with-
in its limits are broken—numerous tame and wild
fowl killed by it. Some of these tootles were fiat,
heavy, and as large as a wateh—the greater part of
the shape, but of a larger size, thin a pigeon's egg.
I lure seen bog-turf penetrated by them, as if bullets
had been shot into it. how far this pile-,
noweliOn may hare run its course I cannot as vet say:
into the IVestern Sea. A poor lad tinfor-1
ttitsatele, bathing. disregarded its terrific approach;
his head is dreadfully rut and injured ; his body par-
tially quite black, and covered with contusio:,l

Aher Rersluti.m, sudden and romplete.has taken
place ; nu; by means of Radicals, but of Soldiers ; by
the means that were designed to avert the dreaded
change; by the military who had imbibed the pupnlar
spirit ! What a lesson to the rulers who would place their
reliance on any other support than the affections vf
the people! .t lesson awful, if they neglect the ivsrning!
useful, if they aysil themselves the instruction it con-
veys. The isopulation of Naples has followed, and at
no lung interval, and in close resemidsuce, the exam-
ple of the people of Spain. For the details that have
come come to hand of this great and interesting event
we refer our readers to our other columns.

In the Ilona• of Lords, last night, the Earl of Ltvcn-
Pool. unveil for the appointment of a Committee to
search fur precedents to enforce the attendance of Peers
in the course of proceedings against her MAJESTY.
The reference to ancient nsagr has a grave appearance,
and an imputing effect, as it professes respect to prin-
ciples that have been approved fur their general expe-
diency, and pot adopted for a temporary or a sinister
view. Brit in the very next measure with ►:hich the
House became engaged, this deference to general prin-
ciples becaur• entirely forgotten. The Bill before the
House, proposed to enact that no 3lasters of Chancery
in Ireland shall he qualified after Bic; Ist of August
next, to sit or vote as a 3lember of the House of Com-
mons. This Bill had passed the House of Commons,
who might be presumed to be sufficiently compe-
tent to decide on matters that alerted their own con-
stitution ; nay, in the course of the evening the Bill
actually passed through its second stage in the House
of Lords. By this step the principle of the Bill was
s drinnly reroguireil as fit awl proper to be acted on ;
but, on the naition of Lord licor.snat.r, certain words
were dexterously emitted, in order to prevent its being
applied to Masters in Chancery now in existence.
Why a mcasure should be introduced for the special
purposes of recognizing a principle, and of prevent-
ing its appiie ation; of laying down a general rule
which is to lee defeated by exceptions ; of declaring,
at one and tare Snllle time, that Masters in Chancery
shall nut not be qualified to sit in Parliament, and
that they shall be •qualified to sit in Parliament, would
puzzle any person to explain who happened to he ig-
norant of the omnipotence of Parliament. Parliament
IS afro said to be able to do any thing. It may pass as
.►ct to reconcile the strangest inconsistencies ; but how
the in.nensistenries themselves, when brought together,
will be enabled to act., still remains to be tai To

render the incongruity of the measnre the greater, the
Irish tientleman, in whose behalf it is understood this
Irish sort of Act bas passed, to enable hie: to hold by
law a seat, fur whiuli he is qualified by law, has de-
clared in the most solemn manner, that his uA►rial
sitna:ion in Dublin requi:es his attendance every day,
from ele►en o'clock tiil three, I.s ten mouths in the
year, and those the rery months in which his attend-
ance is required in Parliament !
