IRELAND IN MO.—Soon after his arrival from France, King James met his parliament in Dublin, on 7th May, which was composed of Papists, who were slaves to his will, many of them descendants of the forfeiting persons of 1641, who had no freehold estates in the kingdom, and made many fine promises to them. The parliament, recognised the title of King James, and declared King William an usurper. They repealed the settlement of 1662, under which many thousands of Protestants had purchased possessions, and were now suddenly deprived of them : this was violently pulling dawn the palß of the law, in a manner never  fore heard It wounded nn of-among the professors of Christianity tional faith, and stabbed public eredi at home, and defrauded him abroad  t—nroke the merchant —ruined the farmer, and  impoverished the mnnufactur mob, deprived the Protestants of all their and the parliament deprived them of all their la  ove,ble estates;  mews, which they had wonderfully improved. By this act King James seemed to justify the grand Irish rebellion in 1641 ; and this was followed by an act of attainder, which ex ceeded the proscriptions of Sythi!  need of rebel lion no  ,ess than  83 clergymen, and 2,233 gentlemen, who were traitors, and their estates coati  II declared  ated or plonderet;  connel had £20,00( _ _ estates, and the King the same per month. Many hundred of poor persons were murdered in cold blood by the popish soldiers, while the rich were robbed of their estates, and th popish priests enabled to collect the tithes, which we able by papists. The _lrish parliament sat only f► May to 20th July, and yet, destroyed the settlement of testant clergy from their livi  year granted  in) out of the confi,scaieC  by expelling the ProAnd the laity from their in heritanees-Lthey would hate-Ireland independent of England, and wanted to repeal Poyning's act of 1404. Public robberies were committed under the name of five guarterings, and, though protections were sold to the Protestants, they were disregarded by the Papists. The University of Dublin was turned into a garrison, and all the public schools in the kingdom given to Papists, who likewise seized upon all the Protestant churches. The Protestants were at length forbid to assemble together on pain of death, so that it seemed determined to hang one-half of them and to starve the other. But while they silf.ved so much from the parliament of Ireland, their protection was not neglected by the parliament of England, who made Irish affairs a considerable article of their proceedings.—Old History.  The Auckland Times is described as being " printed in a mangle," and a strange piece of typography it is accordingly. The "sole editor and proprietor, Henry Falwasser," while, in the meantime, taking to himself the humble cognomen of the " Old Lady of the Mangle," expects daily his own press and materials; when, doubtless, the old lady will dispose of her mangle, and purchase something more useful fur a printing office. The style of the Mangle is quite sui gesieris. It may be observed, that the occasion of is being printed by such a machine is stated by the editor to have been the attempt of the local government to stifle public opinion, by refusing the proprietor the use of the only printing inatedals in the settlement, those of the government, as soon as it was perceived that the Times was determined to be very independent in its strictures on public doings and inisduings. The phrases suggested by the peculiar circumstance arc very .  amusing—" Westop the Mangle to announce the arrival of the St. George."—" The Governor will repent having driven us to the Mangle," &c. We have only room for one characteristic description :—" Full many a time and oft have we laughed over the distresses of Mantaliiii and his maiwle, as depictured by the inimitable Boa—we did not think this process would so soon fall to our turn—nevertheless any one. of our subscribers, who is desirous of satisfying his curiosity, may call in at High-street and see the Times
