laid in charge to the Union . However * meetings have been held on the subject , and in particular ope in Dublin , in which the sheriiF presided , and the whole city seemed to breathe only one
sentiment . It was carried . unanimously , that a petitipn should be presented for the dissolution of the Union , and that all parts of Ireland should be called on to forward the measure . Dublin indeed
might receive some trifling advantage from a legi s lature residing in it ; but we cannot see that Cork will , or that any other city or county would be a bit bett £ r off by its members being there rather than in London , It is a matter of
little consequence where a legislature resides ; the great point is , that the constituents should send to the appropriate spot , men of honour , honesty and integrity ; men that will not " barter their principles for place , nor prize the smiles of a minister above the welfare of their country .
The metropolis has seen the scenes renewed , wljich occasioned so much scandal last year . The theatre has exhibited again a contest between the managers and the public , on the subject qf
private boxes , m which the latter proved victorious . The contract of last year was , it seems , not fulfilled , and an attempt was made to keep up more private boxes than were agreeable to stipulation . Instead of O . P . the word
Contract resounded from all quarters , and perpetual tumults would have , recurred , unless the managers had prudently given in , and restored peace to the theatre . We wish that the public would be as attentive to the boxes that are now to be open to all , and that none of those l <> ose characters among the women , or disorderly men may commit those outrages on modesty and decorum , which

lower us so much in the eyes of forei gn * ers , and all that have any regard for propriety of behaviour . Our papers have related many melancholy accounts of the , effects of the passions in duellists , and some of a very atrocious nature . One circumstance
attending them is not sufficiently noticed . The coroner and jury seem to conspire together n 6 t to obtain that evidence , which is qiaite at hand ; for if the public papers can inform us , that a duel on such a day was fought between two
persons , one © f whom was brought wounded to such a place , where he died of his wounds , it i $ very extraordinary that the jury can bring in a verdict of murder against persons unknown . The murdering of a person in a duel is either a crime , or it is not ; if it is a crime , it is
the duty of the coroner , the jury , the police magistrates , to take every step for the discovery of the murderer , exactly as they would do in the case of any other murder . The court of justice is the place where the murderer is to put in his plea , but his crime is not to be connived at in the first instance .
It would be trifling -with our readers to make any comments on the Sampford ghost , which has found in the West of England a sufficient fund of credulity , for the playing off of the trick . After a time the truth was discovered ; but it is a me- ? lancholy reflection , that there are so many deluded people in this country
who continue to believe in ghosts and witches . It is a proof how little attention they pay to the scriptures , and how far the mind may be alienated by prejudice and superstition from that confidence in the government of the one and only true God , the God of Jesus Christ , which his religion , whqn properly env » braced , must inevitably produce ,. ,
