In debate on the Irish Church on Thursday last,
Lord John Russell, probably in the heat Of argu-
ment, gave vent to some expressions respecting THO
opposition Of the Irish Roman Catholics, as body,
to liberal institutions and their general disoyaly to
the British government which 30 excited the ire OF
Messrs. Sadlier, Keogh, and Monsell, now holding
important official situations in Ireland, that these
gentlemen Immediately sent in their designations to
Lord Aberdeen. AS their services, however, could
ill be spared, and 1t was thought desirable 70 pre-
vent any appearance of dissenson in the cabinet
apologize reply SENT repudiating, on behalf Of
himself and the majority of his colleagues the senti-
ments too uncompromisingly expressed by the leader
having himself apoogized for the aront thus offered
to the great body Of the Irish people, the offended
parties have consented to retain office. Such is and
ever will be the consequence OF assOcating in the
same administration such incongru0us and discord-
ant materials as those composing the present cabl-
net; and as such occasions for dispute and offence
are likely again and again to recur, we augur bu'
little permanence to the existing ministry, Goa
lition cabinet crumbled into dust in 1907, which
contained in it some of the very first talent in the
country; and what took place with Fox, and Sheri-
dan, and Grattan, may again occur under Russell,
Gladstone, and Clarendon. .Unanimity is the es-

We add the words OF Lord John, which formed the
camsa beRi in this ministerial fracas.
am far from denying that there are many members
Of this House. and many members of the Roman CAtho
lie persuasion, both in this country and Ireland who

but convinced that If the Roman Catholic clergy
had increased power given to them and II they eccs
sastcs to exercise greater control and poiticah

walls in THU country and that neither in respect to poll

general freedom of discussion and that activity and
egy Of the hun an mind which belongs to the spirit Of
the British constitution.
There is not q sentiment here with which we can
not most heartily coincide; and really the gentlemen
officials in Ireland must be very thinskinned to take
offence at the honest avowal of opinions that ale
pretty generally held in this country respecting the
prevailing character of the Romanist clergy and
laity of that country
The last mail from India gives US accounts Of the

nation to advance forthwith on Pekin. At Shanghai
and Canton, the people are thoroughly paralyzed,

ers up the Yang kiang to the relief of Nankin,
the occupation of which was Immediately threatened
by the revolutionary army. This step may, proba'
bly, for time, check the Instruction and save the
Tartar dynasty; but those best informed on the
subject are OF opinion that the outbreak is far
too serious and extended to be crushed by the 0ccu
patton Of single river by European vessels of war,
and that even could it be 80 destroyed the bolsterng
up of the Tartar dynasty would be anything but ia
vorable to the progress of true civilization and the
extension Of foreign intercourse and commerce in the
Chinese Empire. This revolution, however, has had
one good effect on the Chinese Mnistry-namely,
that they have proposed to egaze the sale Of opium,
and encourage its cultivation in China, the soil OF
which is stated to be peculiarly favorable to the
growth of the opium plant. This is step in ad-
vance, and may be followed, perhaps by other mea-
sures OF liberal character that may redeem the
Chinese government in the estimation of the great
commercial rations of the world.
This news, however, is far from being acceptable
to the East India Company, who have realized three
millions year by their contraband trade in opium;
and the company has another source OF annoyance in
the extraordinary falling of of their monopoly trade
in salt, amounting toupwards Of two millions. This
latter falling Off however, Is owing entirely to Johns
0verweaniDg love of sver-for he has been for years
and years so impoverishing the country, and 50 ex
pie under his rule are how become SO poor as to be
compelled to forego the OF this important neces
sary of life. Verify John, thou hast been weighed
in the balances, and art found wanting-and thy
kingdom shall be taken away and finished!
