TWO PORTRAITS . I was sealed beside a lady who responded to the dulcet j > o / -ronymic of O'Swagger—a lean , flat specimen Of Tirginity , who had walk « d in short petticoats and JtauLU ^ Isbonrs-for many -years;—being desirous ,: on one hand , to keep upon good terms with the world , by Teaming to ita admiration a pair of shriTelled ancles , ft cetera ; and , on the other , to ensure a title to the akie * by de ^ weitjiig her whole person four times eTery -ireei in hejyww , and employing herself whilst there in nrafcbermi the lespanses , tnrnrng to the tables for the proper lessons , and fumbling out the text in her pocket-bible . Hiss O'Swagger wore a muslin cap , the frill of "R liich radiated from her head in the form of a glorv , and threw its fitful shadow over a springlike
region of young nntbrown ringlets ; though had the eye ef ^ ieoTerytxarelled beyond this genial zone towards the pale , it might hsTe strayed OTer wastes of sterile and wintry desolation . Some of her points would be invaluable acquisitions to the curiosidea of zoology She had a frightful habit of expanding her eyes , until , * Lj -with their form and ihelr colour , they strikingly resembled the optics of a bHiooa conger . Her lips were long . itxjse , and twitchy , possessing no determinate form or mutual adjustment whateTer ; so that -when they 'Went abroad in speech or laughter , it was amnsin ? to ohserre the ' manifold ways in which they would return borne aeain . Her face suggested to one's fancy . a witUered , weather-bleached leaf of a Savoy cabbage ; &nd her teeth , the ruins of a conflagration . Our
Tenerable-r-ster seemed to be continuaDy -vibrating between the citremest points of emotion . Her cheeks would be now prolonged with yearning commiseration at the awful responsibility of the heathen , and now distorted with triumphant merriment by some new contribution to her treasury of private t *™^; at one moment they would present themselves in state of sallow frigidity and collapse ; while at another you mi ^ ht see the sacred fajpe burning 'with the deep nosh of some unholy passion . Upon those who dared to ctntrovert a single iota of ha cgeed , her eyes would fall with the petrifying glare of Medusa ; sad then , perhaps , turn elsewhere , to fin «^* fr the rolling witchery and swimming T * -ngmg > nnpn t of flnSafciste . Her vocal functions , too , operated upon a most extensive scale , tad wesa subject -to mmiimji fits oi
^ MIiiiV ' Min Ts Inn seconds she wonld traverse the whole gBsnjot , from the muffled tones of secrecy ^ or the hollow Batterings of haxai up to the shirs , twang of spleen , or the wild scream of Tnl" * " ^! rnfltaiapiL- ^ The wit or hnagar . ttttt wj ^ d wi l H ^ jiWiiiaaK « r -c ould . » 3 idcHB work any otia eSfiok jjpon Miss O'Swagger than to screw her lips an * ii Mtik her throat ; while at other times , without any obvious or alleged cause , she would go off in a fit of obstreperous and irrepressible laughter . As to the first case , however , her afflicted soul was every where surrounds * by suoh objects ^ jf hatred , ox contempt , or envy ^^ sr jeslouay , that therV was scarcely -a creanne upon earth { besides herself } capable of utter-Jnga Jest that she could conscientiously lau ^ h at ; and there were those who occasionally interpreted the second
case , by perceiving was her vigilance had detected in ' the-conversation some casual word or phrase felicitously ' applicable to the purposes of a mauVnant inuendo h 9 ainst some individual then present ; the object « f her laugh being , first , t » interrupt the discourse at that eritiral point , so as to give the fatal expression all possible significance and relief ; and , secondly , to "" g like the yell of a demon in her victims' ears , while the insult was burnisg into Their heart * . This , she flattered herself , was a refinement of malice particularly exqnisite and rwAarde . But she had recourse to a 9 ariety of expedients for grring vent to tiioae rising corraprion » of our unf ortenrte natare which , if suffered to remain ftsA up in the bosom of a pbarisaical spinster ( especially one of long standing ) , have the melancholy effect on some occasions of ruffling that sweet serenity and of clouding that gracioai satisfaction which it is her unspeakably peculiar privilege to enjoy , when
¦ nothing happens to vex her- beatified spirit . Where Hiss O'Swagger , therefore , found it inconvenient or impolitic to annoy the present 0 ? defame the absent , tsj open and undisguised assault , her old Adam could , notwitnstanding , invariably accomplish his purpose by steanz of some concealed and subtle artifice—by verbal hint or parallel instance—bj pause or emphasis—by a knowing glance or a vacant store—by a dry cough , or a Silly smile , or a suppressed titter—by laying her finger Mysteriously on her lip , ox lifting her shrivelled palms -to the Ecneral gase , and then letting them drop as if suddenly paralysed . In short , such was her anxiety to preserve the purity of the spirit by throwing out the bitterness of the flwfr . that few could come within the rays of her ytg ^ ftnA love without feeling the darts of hetjwomanly spite : if yon avoided her , she would talk at you—conversed with her , she would contradict youdiffered from her , she would attack jou—piqued her , your reputation died the death i
At her father ' s side , the beloved of hu heart ( and of Viioee iieart was she not the beloxed ?) sat I / etty O'Hrauy , s fair , bright-haired creatare , whom the vital goal of bealth and beauty had flashed into a perfect Hebe . Her tresses hung in rich luxuriant dusters , gome&mes sweeping and sometimes revealing her graceful ^ swanlike neck—whils a few of their light golden tendrils drooped and floated upon a bosom of radiant 'whiteness . The tones of her voice , modulated by the accent of her country , were thrQlingly exquisite . Her yw « jiiyn » -ware gentle and elegant , and free from the aligtest tinge of affectation ; there was no acting , no ntnuning at effect , no practical falsehood . Though past her . teens , her ineffable sweetness of temper , her maidenly blushes , her childlike simplicity and playfulness , were speaking evidences of how little the world had done to corrupt this genuine child of nature . Yet therewas a deep soul within her of which she seemed
wholly unconscious . Her eyes , that ever beamed with the soft heaven of love and innocence , were sometimes kindled into sublimity by the spirit of intelligence that broke fitfully from their pore lucid depths . The arch , Bgbt-hearted girl , whose lift was now all calm and mrnshinff , little dreamed of those Bidden well-springs of her afieetion thai were yei vnbtdkea by sorrow ox ad-TBEsity—of that passionate davetion and that horoc endurance which now slept withia her peaceful bosom . Her religion—oh , she was « B religion Every flioujht , ves 7 word , very aetia *—Htm prayar that rose froim her Bp , the tear that trembled la her eye , the charity that toll from her hand—all w « n put and blessed . Her beanty and tenrtwraa , her heavenly truth , the soft light that bzaathsd from her stoquent presence—all ¦ eemedto tespeakher a bslmg of some brighter and happier dime .

Knowledge of the Old and New Testaments does not nwessarily qnalify a man to sit in judgment upon the last -will aad testament of John CNoakea or John A'SJylea , What would " the Church" say if a linen-draper were t « make himself a pair of lawn sleeves , and take his Beaton the Bishops' bench ?

The inoompetency of the clergy as judges is fully established by the report of the Ecclesiastical C > OTrTmsMrtf >^ . " - ¦ ¦ ¦
III . A dergyme * it liable to be effected by undue in-Aoenee . Squire "William is appellant in a will cause . This squire is the patron of a half dozen good livings . He has presented the judge ' s nephew , or has a vacancy for his son ; or , perhaps , something -worth while for the judge himself ! A parson always looks for promotion ; and here he is a judge adjadicatmz in cases of property , where those who have promotion in their hands are parties concerned . IV . The dtrgy are uxjttied &y sectarian feelings from deing judges . A sum of money is left for a religious purpose to a Wesleyan , Unitarian , Baptist , Roman Catholic , or Independent . The case comes to trial Can-a parson possibly be an unbiassed judge ? Or again , a man leaves . £ 5 per annum to the churchwardens of StUiehaeTs , to be expended in bread for the poor . A Dissenter or Catholic , after worshipping at his own place , solicits a share . He is refused because he does not attecd church . "Who is . to try this case ? Shame , where is thy blush—a parson ! .
V . The jurisdiction exercised by these mongrel judges tends to uphold a Huprmnacy over other ministers of religion , which Is based upon falsehood and injustice . And if a cleric be an unfit judge , in questions affecting property , bow much more unfit is he in criminal costs ! He is a judue una . ded or uncontrolled by a JTRT ; his power is defined by no certain law : he sits , as it were , an absolute monarch in his petty court In the name of common sense and justice , if ecclesias tical offences are to be punished , let us have a properly constituted tribunal , and let Englishmen be found guilty by a Jury of their countrymen before they are cast into gaol . A man tried , found guilty , sentenced and imprisoned , without a trial by his peers!—this is a
thing so scandalous and objectionable , that it is a wonder that these ecclesiastical inquisitions should be permitted to exist for a day . ^ Further , the judge is directly and positive }]/ interettod in the cases intchich he so adjudicates . His own power , and privileges , and interest , are concerned in nearly every question which pomes before him The criminal is a delinquent against the clerical ' order ; and the cause of the minutest particle of that order iJ the cause of the whole : nay , if a woman , getting " churched , ** forgets the " -dues * of the sexton , it is an insult to the altar ! Now , ifit . be true that a man who conducts his own case has , as the adage goes , " a fool for his client , must not the man who tries a cause in which he is concerned , have a knave for the judge ?
There is also a capital tale of the Irish Insnrrec tion of 1803 , which contains the subjoined
SKETCH OP HOLT , AMD THE BREAKING OCT OF THE IJCSVRBECriOX OP 1803 . The capture or death of Holt , the Rebel Chief of the "Wicklow Mountains , had long been an object of deep anxiety ¦ with the Irish Government . This extraordinary man , of whom little was previously known , save that he had been a farmer in comfortable circumstances , took the field in 1798 , as chief of a formidable body of rebels , oxer whom he held a separate and uncontrolled command . Participating in the short-lived trinmphs which the early successes of the insurgent army affordedr he subsequently shared in ita defeat ; bnt , being a man of uncommon-rigour of body , great mental resources , and a master of that kind of vulgar oratory and persuasive address which is so effectual with the Irish , he succeeded in attaching to his green standard .
under all Jiia reverses , a tolerably large ferce of those desperate outlaws—the scattered remnants of the bate formidable rebel anmy . With these he withdrew , at the close of the above year , to the fastnesses of the TrVicklow Mountains , the wild scene of his nativity , with every glen and valley of which he had been familiarised from infancy . Within the mazes of this nntravelled region , Holt found means to elude all the efforts of military skill and enterprise , to seize him b y force or ensnare him by stratagem . The utmost ingenuity was exercised to mislead and harass the King ' s troops in tins moantais warfare . The rapidity of the rebel ' s movement * , and his apparent ubiquity * baffled all the plans of the professional soldier : military science was , put to shame bj the superior tactics of the ittactni&In iJaeTEsla . * In" " this manner he held' aH the pdwosof GoTonntent at defiance for upwards of four
yean ... . .. ,- .. - - . , _ _ . On the breaking out of the i&eoncerted and feeble msarrection of 1803 , Holt once more descended from the mountains , in all his former terrors , to join a huge body of rebels from the adjacent counties of Ealdare , Wexford , and Heath , which , to the number of tenor twelve thousand , were to rendezvous in the vicinity of Dnblin , and be ready to pour in their force in aid of the metropolitan outbreak , on a given signal Holt had actually advanced , on the evening of the 23 rd of July , so near to the scene of action as Rathfo . nham , ( a village only a leagme from Dublin , ) when his further progress was suspended by the intelligence of th « defeat and dispersion of the disorganised rabble which attacked ^ Dublin ; and which , although contemptible in
numbers and array , and without any known or ostensible leaders , took the Government so much by surprise , that their precipitancy alone averted the most lamentable mischief . The atrocious , although unpremeditated , murder of the Lord Chief Justice Kil warden in the streets , when on hia way to attend a Council , would have proved but the prelude to more txtensive butcheries , had the rebellions crew had any one man of talent and sufficient daring to direct their excited energies . * The insurgents , to the amount of some thousands , had proceeded within musket-shot of the Castle of Dublin , ( the seat of Government , ) ere their mad career : received a check , by the appearance of a body of-cavalry and infantry , called suddenly to arms . Had such a man as Holt been at their head , there can belittle doubt that the Lord Lieutenant , and the officers of the state , would have become the prize of ibis desperate attack ; but in vain the rebels looked for
a leader . They stood a volley from the infantry , " and a charge from the c&Talry , with desperate resolution ^ bnt , nnled and unsupported , they fled in all direc tions through the numerous streets and alleys ; and , under cover of the falling twilight , escaped with comparatively small log * . The fate of this sody decided Holt ' s , movements . He saw the chance was lost by the rashneM of this premature attack—which , happily for the tranquillity ~ t the country , was so speedily put down—and , withdra / ing his own followersJrom their allies of the hour , be made an instant retrograde movement , anticipating that every effort would be made to cut off his retreat to the mountains . His march was unceasingly pursued , while the darkness of night afforded him an escape from observation ; and the morning ' s light saw him and his band of rebels safe within their old positions , unbrokenin numbers and unsubdued in spirit .
The proclamation of martial law , the calling out of the yeomanry for permanent dnty , and the reinforcement of all the military posts in the districts bounding on Dublin , in a few days restored some show of tranquillity to the lately alarmed and still agitated city . Sut the insurrection , though checked , had not been entirely crushed ; but few prisoners were taken in the night ' s action of the 23 d , and of these not one person of note or respectability ; the reputed leaden and . prometers of the movement were yet at large . Holt , once more secure within his chain of posts , unknown and inaccessible to all but the experienced mountaineer , defied all the powers -of the executive . Various expeditions were undertaken to bring him to action ; but net one met' with even partial success
His superior knowledge of the scene of warfare enabled him to anticipate and defeat every movement of the troops . His scout * were numerous and faithful ; nothing in the garb of soldier and stranger could enter the district without Holt being immediately apprised of the circumstance . Itinerant beggars , sham cripples , even children were on the look-out to guard his haunts , and make some signal om the approach of danger . His depredations wer » latterly confined to midnight attacks oathe small patfiat of troops scattered along the ertenaye line of mil pi / roads which had for aomeyeaw been in progress tfcswgh the mountains . In the © ours © of one night , his parties had bees known to sweep away all Testlge of ttw labour of weeks—plmndar the
provision marasine *—demolish the guard-hoases—disperse and drive in the piquets , pnrsiing them , pike is VM , to the very gates of their stockaded barracks—then disappear , as if by magic before the morning ' s dawn , leaving neither traw nor clue to their mountain retreat ; while , on the very next Bight , a similar and eqmally vigorous attack vnmld be made om a port thirty miles distant " H 6 l V ttu Rebel Chief , was at once a word of terror and reproach . Five hundred gmlneai of reward were offered by Government for his apprehension ; yet , amongst th « shoeless , ragged , half-starved outlaws he commanded , not one « ould be found to betray bis chief . Was this a virtue « r a crime ? Posterity will answer the question !

CHARADE . There'kneels in holy 8 t Cuthbert ' s aisles . No holier father than Father Giles ; ' Matins or vespers , it matters not which , He is evertuere , like a saint in his niche ; Morning and midnight his missal he reads , Midnight and morning he tells his beads ! "Wide spread the fame of the holy man , Powerful his blessing , and potent his ban , "Wondrous the marrels his piety works , On unbelieving heathens , and infidel Turks j But strangest of all is the power he is given , To turn maidens'hearts to the service of heaven !
St Ursula s prioress comes to day , At holy St Cuthbert ' s shrine to pray ; She cornea with an offering—she comes with a prayer For she leads to the altar tiie Lady Glare , Mary , mother ! how fair a maid ; To leave the world for a cloister ' s shade I She yields to-morrow her gold arid lands , For the church ' s use—to the church ' s hands . She quits the world with ita pleasures and wiles , And to-day she confesses to Father Giles ; Slight is the penance , I ween , may atone , For all of sin Bhe hath ever known !
"Daughter ! since last thou bast kneeled for grace , Hath peace in thy heart found a dwelling-place ? From thy heart hast thou banished each worldly thought , " / Saveihy spirit's weal , hast thou pined for nought ?" Moist is her kerchief , and drooped her head , But my first" is all that poor Clara said . ' P Daughter ; thy cheekhath grown pale and thin , ,- ^ Is thy spiritchastened and purewithin ?' . ' .. ¦ ..

If ever the people ought to be united , it is at the present period , and if ever there was a . time when the energies of men should be directed agniB 8 t oppression , that time has now arrived . The campaign i * commenced . ¦ ' The armie ? are in the field—the lauded aristooracy and the people—and it remains to be seen which of the two will b « suucessful . The Government has caused a number of
Mir leaders to be seired and put in gaol . They pink , iJappoHe , by doing w that they will put an end to the Chartist agitation . I suppose that Little FinaKty thinks that with the Chartists it is nearly all over . No doubt he thinks that the imprinonmentofbur leaders is a ySnaf measure , by which the Chartists will be forced to j >* t their hands in their pockets , stand still , and do nor thlBg-, like the Sovernraent of which he i « a member But if Little Finality things so he is greitly mistaken . If this be the means by which the little fellow intends to put aa end to the agitation , he w » N be grestly . disappointed , for instead of it doing so it will have quite a different tendanoy , and instead . of taking from it , will add to the ranks of the Chartists . ( Cheers ;) Tkey know tbe teasinir these
men , and the sentences which numbers of them bave receiv « d , to , be acts of cruelty aid injustice , and it will kindle such a flame of indignation in the minds of the people , against ( the perpetrators of such acts . The flame will burn ; will blaze , and will never be extinguished , till justice be done to a long suffering , degraded , and insglted people- ? joheers)—a people , the most industrious , the most jpatient , and the most ilUused that c » n posMibly be imagined—a people , numbers of whom have been . brought to such a state of abject misery ^ that they flonsiderthis world scarcely worth the Jiving / in ; They have been driven at times to commit acts of desperation , and then they have either to be imprisoned , tranaported pr hanged bj those
, ifho were the principal cause of committing nbh mote . John FroBt in now in their clutches there-ig " no doiibt , but ^^ they are very ^^ glad at this : Finalaty John will bs rem irkabl y happy at this . I have no doubt but the heart of his little Lordship beats with indescribable joy in the expectation that John Froft , who handled ^ him % o uharply in his letters of correspondence , will be hanred . John Frost i » , howerer , as far as we know , stilt alive , and it w our duty to do oil that is in our power to save his life . Those in whose power he now is will strain every aerve to have his , life taken away ; aid from the sentenora which have lately been paagflrf on Lotett and ColHnj , it is to be feared Aat he will hs-f * but . ^ littia Ulrica frnm
june > *» iwlectad from a jcla « wno haw > all along been opposed to the interest of the working men , and while snch is the case , it can hardly be expected that they will act favourably to such a man as John Frost—a man who has done all that man could do to promote the interests of the millions : He ia now committed for trial , charged with high trearton and uedition ; if he be guilty we know that his dobm will be death . But who wasit that caused the pao-Sl e of . Wales to have recourse to armn ? Was it ohn Frost ? No I It w * as that badWstem of Government that have reduced the . people to a state of wretchedness and misery , and H lVjtr . Frost and others who have been apprehended are put to death , it is that system ; that is the cause of it . If
they have erred it is from the best of motives- ^ it is from the benevolent desire of liberating their couatry ; and if the Government wish to prevent such scenes in futsre , there is one course for them to pursue , and that is .:-to extend to the people those rights and privileges whom , as rational creaturer , they a ^ e entitled to enjoy . ( Che « rii . ) Mr . Dandron concluded by seconding the adoption of the memorial . Mr . Jobh LiWB said , I cannot allow the present opportunity to pass without availing myself 0 ! the privilege of expressing my concurrence with every word contained iip the memorial . There are several circumstan ce * in connection with the case of Mr . Frost ; , whiah I would : ' wish to advert to ; but particularly that which related
to the special commiflsion . If that commission w adhered to , it renders the case more desperate than it would be under the ordinary system of trialit preveBts the prisoner from traversing . But , Sir , when we consider the vaat mass of prejudice trumpeted against him by the press , especially by that slanderiug and disgraceful emanation , tfe Times—when we consider , I nay , that the great Leviathan of the press is pouring forth its virulent abuse , raked from the musty records of twenty years , can we wonder at the prejudice which exists in the minds « f the middle class jury . Are we not well warranted in saying in the memorial ^ * ' that the stream of justice , under snch circumstancet * , cannot run pure , but must become muddy and polluted . " t
^ 5 > . 2 ' 7 ?^ - t for tte 8 e-men is an impartial '" trial * "fair field , and no favonr . " We h » v » numerous precedents where the trial has been put off for a time , when the prejudice of the public was such as to lead to the belief that that Hsnie ; prejudice might be the means of the indiridual tried being cpnvieted ; r need only refer to the case of Bblam , who was tried on a eharge of murdflr ; iknd surely the same indulgence which was given to him , cannot bo refused to a man of unimpeachable character , as Mr .
