THE GAZETTE—STATE OF THE COUNTEY. The Globe of Saturday, in commenting upon the reception given by the Priests to our Marquizzical brother editor in his Precursory rambles, thus delivers himself:— " This is a well-merited compliment; but the part of the address which will give most satisfaction here is that which follows, demonstrating as it does the improved condition of the country. and giving the best proof of the advantaL!es which have resulted from the administration of the noble Marquis : " • Short as has been'the period of your Excellency's administration, outrages against person or property have nearly ceased, and those frightful combinations and societies subversive of social order have totally vanished from amongst us. The laws are respected and obeyed, and peace has resumed her mild sway over the land. 're your Excellency's prudent, impartial, and conciliating policy, are those happy changes with justice to be ascribed.' " The Ministerial Globe, by its adoption of the foregoing passage from the address presented to the Lord Lieutenant on his passage through Mullingar, by-the Titular and Priests of the diocese, admits its importance, and justifies our design of prefixing it as a perpetual motto to our articles on the State of the Country. In our last we endeavoured to sustain the prelatic and priestly verity of the Church of Rome, by the adduction, from a single number of the " Public flue-and-Cry"— (being its latest publication, and dated but a few days before the delivery of the address)—of such instances of Irish tranquillity as such a document usually affords. The summary is so complimentary to his Excellency's government, and so corroborative of their Reverences' truth, that in justice to both we cannot withhold a repetition of it here : ( From the Public Hue-and-Cry, dated Aug. 11, 1838.) Cases of crime announced • 97  1. Abduction 2; Attempt to assassivate 3. Assaults on dwelling-house 4. Arson 5. Burglary. 6. Destruction of cattle 7. Murderous assault on the person '24 8. Murder 17 9. Party procession 10. Robbery in dweiling.house 11. Robbery of cattle . . 12. Robbery of fire-arms 13. Rape 14. Threatening notices We added, on the same occasion, the announcements from the provincial journals, of attempts to assassinate five gentlemen; and certain other doings of the mobility equally demonstrative of the "cessation of outrages against tt,a person or nrcrierty, the uvautsnment of those frightful combinations and societies so subversive of social order, which have resulted from the prudent, impartial, and conciliating policy" of our excellent Chief Governor—lreland's only Marquiz. We have to follow up this laudatory course to-day, by adducing from the last Gazette one case of " barbarous murder," .fully perpetrated; and one of an attempt at ditto— well intended—but frustrate. From the provincial journals received this morning, wetlikewise extract the corresponding evidence of two or three MURDERS, divers outrages on houses and property by armed parties, sundry desperate assaults upon the person, and some of the fruits of the ribbon conspiracy. Nobody, we presume to say, can read the extracts which we subjoin without admitting, in the words of the Mullingar titular and priests so highly appreciated by the Globe—that "to his Excellency's prudent, impartial, and conciliating policy this happy state of things is with justice to be ascribed :" (From the Dublin Gazette of Friday.)
