EDW. ELLICE shrunk from a renewed and extremely doubtful contest in Coventry, on the same grounds. POULETT TuomsoN offered ; but he was considered incompetent even by the Whigs, who profess to respect him. One CARTER, of Portsmouth, or some such place, was canvassed, but he durst not. In short, after much perplexity, LITTLETON was selected; and, knowing well that he owed his good fortune to dire necessity alone, he made his own terms, and took his departure for Ireland, with a viceroy of his own choice, and armed with more power and authority than has ever fallen to the lot of any man deputed to preside over the distractions and the treasons of that degraded country. There he is, and if his acts do not immortalize his family we are much mistaken. .We have seldom been mistaken in estimating the value of public men, or in divining the catastrophe to which bad measures unavoidably lead, and we have therefore no hesitation in prognosticating that Mr. LITTLETON, under the auspices, or ruling the fortunes of Lord WELLESLEY, will be a conspicuous and perhaps an exemplary-figure in our history. He has already done that in Ireland, which if lie had done it in England would very speedily 'have quenched his light and made shipwreck of his power. He has not had the courage to make war upon O'CONNELL, peinaps for this onq,good reason, that the Lieutenant de facto and the King de futuro understand each other passing well.— There is not enough of the hated Sassanach's blood in his veins to encounter the descendant of an hundred Irish Kings, the last fifty generations of which have been wreckers and smugglers. The English gentleman, alas for our order ! quails before the holder of a felon's brief and the assassin's advocate, and consents to do abject homage to him who, under the influence of the most obnoxious priesthood in Europe, wrings from the wretched peasant his last penny, and converts into brass the very salt that savours the labourer's meal.  It would not do for such a man as the present chief secretary for Ireland to enter the lists with the great agitator and the greatest enemy of Ireland. No; he professes liberalism ; he therefore leans to the side of bigotry and tyranny ; he abjures Protestantism, and takes the side of that faith which is based in oppression, which revels in ignorance, which sets its brand upon free thoughts, and which glories in making its dupes the instruments of its despotic aggrandisements To profess the reformed faith in Ireland—that pure and gospel faith, for professing which Luther was betrayed and murdered— for professing which, our fathers were consigned to the flames—for professing which thousands of Protestant families in Ireland were butchered in cold blood, is now a mark of political ignominy and an apology for every foul wrong which the ministers of a Protestant king, bound by oath to defend the Protestant religion, can heap upon a true and loyal subject.  Be it so, for the present ! It is a trying period ; but we humbly submit; not disconcerted—not downfallen— not crucified from our alliance—not bating a single hair's breadth of our loyalty—not dismayed either by heartless apostacy, courtly weakness, imbecile concession, or by the terrors or threats of venal and grasping statesmen who are bleeding our suffering country under the mask of advancing her interests and consolidating her religious liberties—no ; we bear all this patiently, knowing that the day of reckoning must come, when the outraged precepts and the insulted justice of the English people, slow to anger, but overwhelming as the burning lava when they reconsider their errors, will demand atonement in a voice that must be obeyed. The day of.retribution is not far distant, and therefore vre—carr well-alt'ord to wait its coming, as the shepherd on the hillside waits the dawn. In the mean time, it. is necessary to put upon record that Mr. LITTLETON, the Lieutenant of Ireland, has dismissed Colonel BLACKER from the commission of the peace. No reasons are assigr.ed _this is good ! It is done without reason, therefore are we content. Colonel VERNER, a magistrate in the same county, wrote to know the reasons for removing Colonel BLACKER, and the object of his inquiry was to ascertain the nature of his offence, in order that his bt other magistrates might know how to act—how they were to avoid the supposed errors of Colonel
