another evidence Of the estimation III which his

what estimation his character should be held in

man respecting the Irish bills. twill appear from

letter. that the LAWYER and Priest are Al issue. es-

opinions upon this subject says the reverend
gentleman, must have still less weight than tie

make to embarrass the operation OF the law will
be the more likely to be equally Intellectual your

Of their own persuasion. Mr.. O'Connell is a
man who cannot brook opposition 10 his views
from any quarter, and on this account many friends
have retired in disgust from his ranks. Whether
he will retaliate or no, upon the priest remains to
be seen. Strange to say, that Roman Catholic
clergyman residing in Carlow, when Mr. O'Con-
nell's health was proposed. refused 10 drink it

side down. 1t would be a happy day for Ireland
if she could rest from ''agitation." She is torn
to pieces by leuds and factions, while the people
are made to suffer from the lamentable effects of
such unhallowed proceedings.
In obedience to call made bv the Council of the
birmingham Political Union, great meeting was
held on Monday last in the open air. in support of
the principles of universal suffrage annual pariia-

the abolition of property qualification in members

of the Council sets forth. inter ala, ''hat unless
the present state of the House of Commons can

The Radicals, though numerous, are not inhuen-

any length of time, to point; they are divided
among themselves. The Government knows this
