tb . 9 farce . It will be seen ; by the . feport of the trial that Sir Thomas was seated on the Bench with the magistrates while it took place , and that his co * defendants sst w ' . fh him ; ftiaS is , he was seated on the Bench as a member of the very Court which tried him , and , for all the means the publio have of knowing to the contrary ^ might have voted in the division of magistrates which took place on the questioa whether he should be fined « £ 10 or £ 20 . The / act ofSirThomasPhillipps , appearing as he did in the character of a person against whom a Grand Jnry had returned a true bill for misdemeanour in assaulting a Queen ' s officer , Bitting on the Bench with his JudgeB , is a proof « f the observation prefixed in tne shape of heading to this article , that
English law is a great respector of persons . Had the Baronet and his co-defendants been allowed to sit beside their counsel , it would have been the only concession which ought to have been extended to them , and which , according to any practise of the Conrt in oases where persons of the better class are concerned , they could possibly haTe expected , But we ^ shaH make the respect ; for persons more apparent by contrasting this case " with the treatment ofWm . Gomm , a millwright , who jwas indicted for an assault on a peace officer at Kidderminster , the only difference between his case and that of Sir Thomas Phillipps being tbat there were not the slightest grounds for the charge against Gomm , who , so far from having committed any assault on the policeman ,
appears to have given him a very proper and well merited castigation for his interference in a'matter which did not concern Mm ; an interference held by the Conrt to be out of thei performance of hia duty , and which the Jury , by their inBtant verdict of not guilty , fully confirmed . But Gomm answered to his name in the prisoner ' s dock . He was not allowed to sit by the magistrates who were trying him , nor even beside the barrister who appeared on his behalf , though the verdict of the Jury , pwmonnced clearly in accordance with the summing up of the Chairman , absolved him of the charge against him . Sir Thomas PMllipps , accused and found guilty of assaulting an officer of her Majesty ' s revenue ia the execution of bis duty , rises from the
magistrates' bench on which ho sat during his trial , to receive sentence for the offence . The charge against Sir Thomas Phillipps , the baronet , and the charge against 'William Gomm , the working man , were of the same nature—the one was found gnilty , the other purged of all offence—yet the baronet , who was found guilty , was allowed to sit in the seat of honour in tho midst of his Judges , while the labouring man , who was declared guiltless , was made to hold up his hand in the felon ' s dock , and there await the verdict cf the Jury . We think after this no one will be so hardy as to deny the truth of our text , that English law is a great respecter of persons . Sir Thomas PhillippB was fined £ 10 for the offence of whieh he was convicted . The utter
inadequacy of the punishment must be apparent to the least reflecting observer . What punishment iffa fine of £ 10 , levied on apeifsoh like Sir Thomas Phillipps ! Is it any punishment at all 1 Cannot every one of our readers call to mind cases where poor ignorant working people ^ not an educated and a learned , and by comparison with them , certainly rich gentleman , haTe been sentenced to three months at the treadmill for assaulting police officers . Such things are of too frequent occurrence not to be in the recollection of all the public who pay the least attention to these matters . To fine a person of Sir ^ Thomas Phillipps' station and means . £ 10 for assanltmg a collector of taxes , —an tfficer , be it observed , of the Queen ' s Majesty and armed in that
behalf with very sunnnaryrppwers , —ia about equivalent to fining a poor labourer ^ who earns twelve or fourteen shillings a week by patient toil , sixpence for assaulting a policeman . But , if law is to be equal for rich and poor , then calculating the poor labourer ' s fine at £ 3 for such an offence , the man of rank and fortune ought to pay £ 500 , or in proportion to the ratio in which hia means exceed those of the labourer . Unless this be done , and we all v « ry well know it is not done , this system of punishment by fine is as unequal and nrjust , as it is to place one offender in the criminal dock , while another is allowed to sit cheek by jowl with the very persons who are trying , and may be called on to sentence him . —Worcestershire Chronicle . —[ This said Sir Thomas Phillips was Mayor of . Newport , at the time of the WelBh outbreak ; and as such , he was extremely active in visiting [ upon John Frost all the * ' vengeance of

Op . a charge of making war on the Queen ' s person , in the person of her representatives , the troops , John Fbost was sentenced to be hcsg and QUARTERED ! and he had the cruel indignity inflicted upon him of being compelled to see the scaffold on which the inhuman butchery was iBie&ded tojhave been perpetrated , builded before his eyes .

LETTERS FROM TBE MOUNTAINS . BEIKG A SERIES OF LETTERS FROM AN OLD MAN tN THE COL'KTB . Y , TO A SOtf . NG MAN IN DUBLIN . From " The Beauties of the 'Press : " a selection of original Articles , Essays . 4 * c- » trfticft origiTially appeared in the " Pfiiss" newspaper , established in Ireland by Arthur 0 Connor , after the forcible suppression of the Northern Stax by ihe Government ] LBITER IV . Necessity is called tbe tyrant's plea . It must be worse than tyranny , that cannot plead even necessity . Can tbe present managers of our theatre of calamity plead necessity as a justification of tbe horrors into ¦ which they have plunged , us ?—No ; three measureromceasion to the Catholics—even the shadow of a
Parliamentary Reform—some amelioration in the condition of tha peasantry : these would have fully pacified the country , withont impairing the jost prerogatives of tbe crown , or destroying tbat vigour of government , of which some among us are such admirers . The Irish people were not prone to insurrection . The peasantry , in general , are an indolent , much-enduring race , submissive to their superiors , even to an excess of serr vOity . The extremity of oppression and misery alone could destroy the implicit veneration and terror , with which they had been taught to view rank and property —and to rouse them to violation of law , and to outrage on their task-masters ,: who , when they asked for bread , gave them a stone . -We shall be " apt to think that the complaints cf the people have some good foundation , when vre consider the parts of the kingdem
which have been pointed put , &nd punished , as tbe chief seats of sedition , tbe fountain head of disaffection . Are they not tha most sobex , industrious , and enlightened parts of the island ? What are the descriptions of people who have been marked ont for proscription and perscution ?—Not a Catoline , nor a Cel ^ effus—nol the libertine populous of Insurious capitals ; but the humble peasant , the plain farmer , the frugal manufacturer , the sober rational merchant , and the pious teacher of the Christian faith . Thes ° are not the materials , let me tell the v / erld , of "which "wanton rebellion is composed . They are great and crying grievances alone , that can call from their retirements the sons of sobriety , industry and peace , and lead them to join the bonds of disaffection . From these premises , I conclude that" the occasions of severity , the pretences forsuperceding the laws "were cuurtcd by our present rulers .
Terror and coersion being introduced , as the principles of government , every part of society is filled witk danger and suspicion—the circulation of thought is destroyed ; the intercourse of life is poisoned ; all expressions of the public wish , the snreas guarantee against aecrrt conspiracy , is rarwisely prolnntteS . In one county , tbe gentry and fieehol ? rs , legally convened by the Sheriff to exercise tbe constitutional right of petitioning their Sovereign , "were actually dispensed by an armed force . Meetings for a similar purpose "were prevented in other counties , and in tbe second , city of this country , by menaces of military execution . Government has adopted arbitrary imprisonment of the most peaceable and respectable individuals , for indefinite times , and without knowledge of their accuser , intimation of their offence , or hope of trial If there can be any plausible reasons alledged for dispensing with some of the formalities of law in the arrestment of persons who are supposed to be disaffected—none can ,
Bniely be cfiWred for any wanton delay in the examination , aecordjBE t 0 % he cenrse of law , of their guilt or innocence . It is to be feared that such conduct may terminate in the rendering of many persons disaffected , who were loyal previous to their commitment- An imprisonment for nine or ten months , on a charge unspecified and unfounded , through the suggestion of aperjured and villainous accuser , fished up from the very sink of the community "with all his impurities reeking" on his head , "wM not improve the : loyalty and good temper of the sufferer .

been disclosed ! what foul conspiracy . ' what intemperate thirst of blood I what evidence extorted by the extremity of torture ! Ought not the sight of all this to have produced Bome consideration and compunction ? Oujty j it not to have prodnced some ceBsauon ol that Mgour above law , displaying itself in preventive persecution and cautionary cruelty ? Should not the bearers of the iron rod have inquired whBtbor | tbe freight of information and informers which they had bought or manufactured , with no small pains to themselve » , iand cost totbe pabli 3 , * as not a base and unprofitable kind of merchandize ? Ought they not to have supposed it not only possible , but highly probable that , those respectable and virtuous pewona who have been singled out as martyrs in the cause of
freedom , ana pined ; weary months in Befere captivity , may have been torn from , their homes and families , from the enjoyment of domestic comfort and the pursuit of useful and budable occupations , on the venal deposition of a forsworn informer , or the vague suggestion oMlfeak credulity ? The recorded examples of artificial alarm and cruel folly which were exhibited in England -when a whole nation was the dupe , and so many innocent people were the victims of the infamous OatealinS his vile accomplices Hshall these be forgotten aa if they were erased from the page of hisiory 1 ' Who that recollects how many perished by their monstrous fictions , equally gross , improbable and circumstantial , could suppose « possible that such tragedies could be repeated inaHnmaneand enlightened age ? Yeti houses have
been forced open in the dead hour of the night- their owners have been hurried away with circumstances of uncommon outrage ; they have not been fallowed even the poor consolation of bidding farewell to their weeping families ; they have been kept in Slthy : guard-rooms . amidst the noise and ^ ribaldry of common soldiers Some of the objects of these severities , after many days of suffering , have been wholly discharged , or suffered to depart on their . parole—others have been detained -whole months &nd | then reluctantly liberated , though their innocence was apparent As the imprisonments were without mercy ' , so the releases were without clemency ; and new arrests so closely followed them , that one might suppose [ the former captives had been discharged only through want of house room in the bastile of the country ? I
I cannot pass unnoticed a' singular kind of recognizance , which was lately introduced , in some instances by which parsons [ were obliged , as thei condition of obtaining freedom , to bind tbenuetveB ia a penal form to quit a certain district or county . The only instance which I can find parallel , or in any degree similar to this curious device , [ is what was practiced in Scotland by tbe wicked and tyrannical lauderdale . To engsge the gentry on the side of the persecutors , a bond or contract was , by order of the Privy Council , tendered to the landholders of the West , by which ! they were to engage for the good [ behaviour of their tenants . But it was ridiculous , ( as Hume' justly remarks ; ' to give sanction to laws by voluntary obligations .
Tbe reign of Charles II . inglorious abroad , and oppressive at bome , bears a striking analogy in many particulars , to tbe present times . Much of the history of what passed in Scotland at tbat period in particular , would appear with the mere variation of names , to be a faithful picture of what is now passing in Ireland . The ScottiBD Covenanters resemWod the United Irishmen of the present day , in their union , and their perseverance ; and they wore , like ; them , decried , villifled , and persecuted . Take ( for instance ) thiB extract :: "As it was found difficult to get evidence against these conventicles , however numerous ^ it was enacted , that whoever , being required by the council , refused to igive evidence
on oath , should be punished by arbitrary lines , by imprisonment , or by banishment to tbe plantations . Thus as persecution naturally , or rather necessarily adorns the iniquities as well as the rigours of the inquisition ; what a considerable part of the society consider as their duty and their honour , and that others are apt to regard with compassion and indulgence , can by no other expedient be subjected to such severe penalties , as the natural sentiments of mankind appropriate only to the greatest crimes . " Here the inquisitorial power of sending for persens and compelling them to give information under pain or arbitrary imprisonment , is bestowed in a much more dangerous latitude , on the single magistrate . ,
To what real cause or motive are we to ascribe the present system of severity ? To the overbearing insolenca of conscious strength , exulting over the feelings of the people , and despising their resentment , or to the influence of secret terror ? certain it is , that no passion is more cruel and sanguinary , than panic fear : be that as it may , the history of what passed iu Scotland famishes an example of military coercion , perfectly similar to that which prevails in Ireland at this day . " Military force ( says Hume ) was let loose by tha council . Wherever the people had generally forsaken the churches , the guards were quartered throughout the country . Sir James Turner commanded them , a man whose natural ferocity of temper , '¦ was often iofluned by the use of fitrong liquors . He went about and reeeived from tbe
olergy , lists of those who absented themselves from church , or were supposed to frequent conventicles . Without prbof or legal conviction , he demanded a fine from them , and quartered soldiers on the-supposed delinquents , till he received payment . " ( Now , indeed , instead , ef the supposed delinquents paying a fine , be is committed to prison , or sent on board a tender . What do I &ay ? this 13 mercy I His house is burned , and he is shot ) . —Again— " A multitude not accustomed to discipline , averse to the restraint of laws , trained up in rapine and violence , were let loose amidst a people , whom they wero taught to regard as enemies to their prince and to their religion . Nothing escaped their ravenous hands . By hardships , and sometimes by tortures , men were obliged to discover their concealed wealth . Neither age , nor sex , nor innocence afforded protection . " What was the end of all this in Scotland ? The long-suffering and firmness of the people prevailed .
Jnst so it is in Ireland ; the soldiery are let loose on the people . Whatjwill be the event ? •**—It 1 b said tbat the United Irishmen , though they pretend only to a Beform in'Parliament , are the secret friends of anarchy , and wish : to make this country the seat of war . What is the remedy ? I will not compare the military with tbe { United Irishmen—I pill not say , that they outrage the persons of his Majesty ' s liege subjects ; that they plunder and destroy their dwellings . Far bo it from me to say , tbat some of the Yeomanry assume , with the garb and functions of the common soldier , a spirit of { unprincipled ferocity , and breathe oat rage that would disgrace a Crete or a ] Tartan . Yet certainly though we may give government all pesaible credit for good intentions , the country is in a state of uncom < mon misery . Every hour brings forward some tale of rapine , murder , and every hostile aggression ; sometimes perhaps against the disaffected , too often against tbe peaceable and unoffending . ;
The military having now superceded the civil authority , and being invested with the whole preservation of internal order and care of the police in most parts of Ireland , they have thought fit to shew themselves worthy of the important charge , by loyal addresses from the non-commissioned officers and privates of the different regiments .: I will not intimate that Government may possibly be deceived by those solicited , or even extorted adddrenses , that fill the publio prints at the expenee of the public , and are , no doubt , accounted for among the army extraordiuaries , I will not even hint that the addresses in question may , in many instances , have been obtained by a certain mixture of menace and blandishment—I will suppose them the spontaneous , untutored declaration of the men themselves . Yet still I am of opinion , that to the obtaining
of this loyalty ou paper , much of the solid discipline of the army has been sacrificed . I bold it unwise to accustom large bodies of illiterate mercenaries , to debate on political affairs in arms . Britain , rich , ambitious , and luxurious , grasping at conquests beyond her means and population , and at the same time seeking to overawe the discontents of tho people , by a millitary force at home , la obliged ' to maintain a numerous host of mercenaries . The history of mankind tells ub , that every government , every country , that wholly depends on a mercenary force , falls 'the victim of that which was hired to support it The navy of Englnnd has given an alarming intimation of tbe dangers of her situation ; and I will venture to predict that tbe storms in that quarter are not fully overblown .
It is not by outrageous penalties and sanguinary laws , of a new constitutional form , that these perils may be averted . It is by securing the affections of the people , by attention to their wants and complaints , by obtaining peace abroad , and rendering a numerous military force unnecessary , that these perils are to be averted Believe me if the military are set above law—are invested with the whole civil authority , and police of the law—if they are , at the same time , freed from the restraints of discipline , and turned at large to scourge the people , they need no corrupters . They corrupt themselves—they jare already ¦ corrupted ;— -they will soon tarn the power and license , which were given them for the opprJBBBion of the people , against their employers , and tyrannise over those , who hoped , by their means , to tyrannise ever tne multitude .
The mention of military force naturally leads me to the yeomanry of Ireland , which 1 still wish to consider aa distinguished from mere mercenaries . Thia institution was a favourite of the Viceroy , aad the Bight Hon . Stcretary . Part of the Irish Gabineti if I am truly informed , apprehended it to be a dangerous experiment , and opposed it in its first concoction j but superior authority } prevailed , and it went forward . What advantages ( you will ask me , ) did the patrons of this measure ; in their own private thoughts , propose to themselves ? Their secret aim * as I apprehend , was twofold . In tbe first place , t&ey meant to establiaD . a Bmothered war , originating in a system of coercion , between the opulent and the poor of this country . In the next place , they wMfcd to lay down ; a line of deto introduce bad
marcation , on plausible grounds , ges and ensigns of party , to raise a standard round which the adherents of tth 6 present AdminiitratiOB might raUy—nay , more , to attach a degree of disgrace on all those who should refosa to crowd around this standard , by exhibiting them as persons disaffected or cowardly , who were wanting to the defence ( of thftir country . There was much cunning and stability in the plan ; and in some measure it has succeeded , and contributed more than any other cause , to strengthen the hands ef government , and to embolden it *' the ; terrible agressions against the people , and tne grievous , intolerably grievous system of JcoercJ ^ ,, iOh has been adopted ;—I shall pursue this . ^ "Jtect in a futuxe tetter , —me anwhile beHew ® e yoM » > - * frien ^ MONTANUS .

HOUSE OF COMMONS ^ Fwday , July 7 . The Townshend Peerage Bill was read a third time and passed . j Two petions were presented from the shipowners of the ports of London and Scarborough , against the Coalwhippera Bill . j Mr . T . Duncombe presented a remonstrance from the London National Association , complaining that the Houso of Commons did not represent the feelings of the country . j The Speaker intimated that a remonstrance could not be received , unless it came in the form of a petition . . I Mr . Duncombe said he had referred to precedents , and found that a remonstrance could be received , if it concluded with a prayer . After a ] brief conversation .
The Speaker said if the House would postpone the question , be would refer to precedents ; and the House adopted the suggestion . j In answer to a question from Mr . Christie , the Member foT Weymouth , the Attorney-General said it was bis intention to proceed with the Law of Evidence Bill this session . SlrJ . Gbaiiam , in answer to a question from Mr . T . Duncombe relative to an intend ed measure for giving the home Secretary concurrent jurisdiction with the magistrates as to the authority oyer officers of prisons , said , in the course of the session he would introduce a Bill on the subject . j
SirB . Feel , in reference to remarks made by Sir B . Ferguson about tbe Irish Bills , said it was a matter ef deep regret to him that legislation should be suspended as regarded not only these Bills , but others , and he did not know what power thej Government could exercise to put an end to this obstruction The Government had no control over the actions of individual Members . Sir J&mes Ghauam said the Government were moat anxious to presss on tbe Ecclesiastical Co-arts Bill and tbe County Courts Bill , but he conld not eay when they would again come under discussion .
Sir K . Peel announced that on Monday it was his intention to move the Committee on the Irish Arms Bill , and to take precedence of all ! others . The adjourned debate on the ( redress of grievances ( Ireland ) was then resumed . The first speaker was Mr . Cochrane . " Conciliation , " he said , was the wisest policy to adopt towards Ireland . J Mr . Ward complimented Mr . Cochrane for the kindly spirit which prevailed bis speech . But tho formidable organization going on in Ireland ] was not to be put down by kind speeches ; neither were the grievances , alleged in the speech of Mr . W . sJ O'Brien , to be met by such a reply as that of Lord ] Eliot's , on Tuesday night ; for the Secretary for Ireland , notwithstanding his humane and-honourable character , treated tbe
subject as if he were discussing the details of a turnpike bill , and in deprecating the agitation , repeated official language with respect to Ireland of sixty years ago . Mr . O'Connell , who boasted of having three provinces with him , and a great portion of [ the north , was now chalking out his plan for a Congress to meet " accidentally" in Dublin , pledging his reputation tbat he will drive the 300 members ot bis "jaccidental" Congress through any Act of Parliament that might be brought against them . Something , therefore , tbe Government must do . The spirit of nationality was now far more difficult to be dealt with , seeing the population of Ireland had increased trom four millions to eight ; and to allay tbe mass of discontent , [ something practical should be attempted . The tenant must be protected
from the landlord ; tbe franchise moat be enlarged ; the Church should be reduced wittiin reasonable limits , saving existing rights ; that Establishment was the great obstruction to peace and harmony between tbe two countries , and would continue so until Ireland was treated like England and Scotland , each of which had a church for the respective ] majorities . It was impossible that Ireland could be left as it ia ; you may adopt a reckless and sanguinary policy , resuscitate the old cry of " No Popery'j from its unhallowed grave , and create a war of races ! and religions ; or a large and conciliatory policy , satisfying the people , and subduing on agitation which nothing else can , and which , so long as it exists , exposed us to the observation and the attempts of every ! country in Europe . Mr . Emerson Tennent arranged the topics of
complaint nnier two heads , the first of which , the maintenance of the Established [ Church , was too important to be incidentally discussed . If the Irish Established Church wero to be surrendered , because of tbe dissent of a majority , the English Establishment must be prepared to be tried by the same test . The Union bad been accepted by ) the Protestants , and agreed to by tho Roman Catholics , as a guarantee for tba security of tbe Established Church ; and though another condition , that of Catholic Emancipation , bad been so long delayed , that did not affect the contract deliberately entered into , and repeatedly confirmed on the part of the Roman Catholics ; and if they were prepared to retract their solemn engagements , they ought also to surrender the advantages which had been conceded to them on the pledge of their faith .
Sir Denham NeBREYS replied that they were not discussing the Repeal of the Union , but the evils of Ireland , of which , from his own knowledge , he adduced some practical illustrations , chiefly bearing on the ownership and occupancy of tbe , soil , the remedy of which was an improvement ot the relations between landlord and tenant , and so removing the discontents of the peasantry , as to lead to that tranquillity which caused capital to fiow inte the country , and promote manufactures , for which it presented such facilities . | Mr . La $ celles briefly dwelt on the importance and justice of governing Ireland impartially , which he thought the policy of the administration aimed at
Mr . More O'Ferrall traced the agrarian outrages to insecurity of tenure , and the exercise of tho power of ejectment over a wretched class ; and asked for a law , similar to that which prevailed in Scotland , by which a tenant may be secured in obtaining the means for outlay of capital in improvements . He did not approve of the Repeal of the Union ; but were Government to go to war with Ireland to put down the agitatson , and to call on all loyal subjects to aid them , he , for one , would firsts consider what had been done to retain their affections . | Mr . Shaw expressed his amazement that the changes should be so continually rung upon the appointments of Baron L ^ froy and Judge JackBon ; and cited Mr . O'Connell as to wbetber the Whigs were more likely to
satisfy the Repealera than tbe Tories . The idea of the substitution of " Russell" fo « " Pfcel" -was awmeted by Mr . O'Connell wttb . ' Bah . '—Whig and Tory might all ba efeatsn up in a bag together , and the first man drawn out would prove an enemy to Ireland . " Mr . Shaw defended the Irish landlords ; and argued that the question raised afl to the Established Church wan realiy whether it was to be subverted—to which be apprehended the people of EDgland were not likely to agree . The character of the Protestant clergy of Ireland was high ; there were 2 , 200 with an average
income of £ 150 each : and evenj the Catholics would admit that , as well educated resident gentlemen , they were a blessing to tbe country . [ Tbe Union and the Church must Btand ot fall together . The multitudinous assemblages in Ireland inspired terror in well-disposed subjects , and disturbed the public peace , and therefore \ rete illegal ; the late Dublin demonstration , and the language used by Mr . OConne ) l , came within this description : aud it was impossible that the Government could stand still , witnessing the progress of an agitation which might lead to bloodied aad ruin , and which ought to fee firmly met by a vigorous
adminifltrafcion of the law . I , « , n « . n Mr Macaulat remarked how ineffleently the Government was defended-su pporters and opponent alike censuring its policy . The j present wide-spread discontent must be largely traced to the Ministry and its party : from 1835 to 1841 this | Bepeal agitation did not exist . Sir Robert Peel had unquestionably a great " difficulty" in Ireland . Amongst , the party supporttr „ him was to be feund the name of every man who ' ^ ad rendered himself odious to the Irish people—»' d w& 0 had resisted emancipation , all who had sou' aded ^ alarm when Catholics were admitted into V Government , every creature who had called the irisa Bishops " sons of BeliaV' and every scribbler w' had ^ ,, 3 ^ their prieata " aurpliced ruffians . " Remember how they barrased the late Government r , Q the euMect of the registration and the franchise , adir , faz no delav : and

had also expresaad his regret that Catholic emancipa tion Lad been granted- What bad the Gov ^ rnmea do .-. a shice . tHri a ^ iti . tion commenced ? Pr ^ jaed an Anna Bill , in * } which new and irritaS'n *? provisions Were introdae' .-U end dissmiesed nmgifitrates en ground unconstitutional . These were the only acts they had performed ! Conciliation bad not been exhausted ; bu as to the R ^ peil of the Union , all history was sub stantially opposed to the experiment of two indepen dent legislatures hiirmon ziBg . On fixity cf tenure he Would rather Ieara than teach ; but sonis of tha p ! an 3 which had been proposed "were useless , ana others were neither more nor lew than confiscation . Bat they could manifest confidence in the Catholics by letting them share in office and power ; even if those th « y appointed were Epmewhat opposed to them in politics , it waa but a small penance for the long Exclusion of the past Tha elective franchise was another matter for consideration .
As to the Established Church of Ireland , he defied tham to pick out , from the writings of any authority whatever , let him be toe stancnest supporter of establishments , anything which would justify the proBanfc condition of the . Irish Established Church . He would not destroy it : but , respecting all vested rights , he would reduce tho establishment te the wanta of tha Protestants , and place tko two religions on a footing of perfect equality . Why was it , that under unfavourable circumstances there had been no agitation for a Repeal of tbe Union with Scotland?—a union which had been so complete and successful Tbe secret lay in the fact that tb ^ great Whig statesmen who surrounded the throne of Queen Anne had recognised the national religion of Scotland . A similar course with Ireland would have spared us to all our present embarrassment . But it was not too late to adopt a conciliatory policy .
Sir Jastes Graham , referring to the expressions which he used three weeks ago , expressed his regret that anything , in word or manner , should have given offence . He did not regret the course he had taken on the subject of Catholic Emancipation , and denied that the party with whom he acted had any other feeling , in witnessing Catholics in office , than that of satisfaction . It was men word-catching to fasten on his expressiens aboat conciliation : he did not mean to imply / that concession could not be carried further . Mr . Macaulay had converted the discussion into a part ; debate , although it related to so important a subject . He proceeded to defend the Government with , respect to tbe dismissal of magistrates , the franchise , the Arms Bill , and the bestowal of Government patronage—on
tbe latter head contending that their judicial appointments proceeded on professional merits . It Was complained that " the voice of Irish Members was not heard in that House . " Such a statement was not consistent with the fact that some of the greatest ornaments of the House had been Irishmen , from Burke down to O'Connell and ShieL In a dull and listless way , the House scarcely maintaining attention , the Home Secretary touched on various topics , tending to Bhow that Ireland had not been neglected by the Imperial Legislature ; and adverting to tha opinions Which had been expressed on tbe subject of tbe Church , said Mr . Robbuck would subvert it , that Mr . Ward , proceeding on the principle of population , would deprive the Protestant Establishment ef seven-eights of its property , while Mr . Macaulay argued for perfect equality between the two religions , and Mr . Charles Wood and Lord John Rursell were more modified . For himself , he could not consent to alienate any portion of
the revenues of tbe Church for the endowment of Roman Catholics—the inaintainence of the Church wes involved in the articles of Union . He spoke the opinions of all his colleagues when he said they were determined to maintain the Establishment The crisis was important , and required plain speaking ; tbe Legislature must not hesitate to express its determined resolution to maintain the Union ; and if the Government were to conduct the affiiira of tbe csuntry , it waa essential that they should be strongly supported , and that tbeir measures should meet no undue obstruction , If England waa to maintain its position in the scale of nations , they mast be prepared to put down the rebellious spirit manifested on tbe subject of the Repeal of the Union : to suffer it to go on , would drag this country into ruin . The adjournment of the debate was moved ; and after some discussion , in which Sir R . Peel promised to give way , ou Monday , with Government basiuesss , in order to let the debate t > e continuously carried on , the adjournment was agreed to .

Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Jci . x « 6 i —During the week a steady demand for Flour of aft descriptions has taken off the fresh supplies of this article on arrival , and , the trade being but light ia stock , factors were enabled to establish a further improvement in value , particularly on choice marks aad superfitw whites , some quantity of the latter description having realized 41 s per gack . Oatmeal has likewise been in rather better request , but the sales were chiefly iu retail , and not extensive . The imports from Ireland and coastwise are but to a moderate extent . From Canada 7 . 843 barrels of
FiOnr , 316 barrels of Oatmeal , and 643 qrs . of Wheat , the first of the season , are reported ; and 500 barrels of Flour from the United States .

Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , July 10 . — Since this day se ' nnight we have had very moderate arrivals of British Grain , Flour and Oatmeal . From Canada there are reported 630 qrs of Wheat and 6 , 401 barrels of Flour , the first imports of the season from that quarter . On the whole the weather has been favourable for the crops . Advices , however , of higher prices both in London and the leading country markets , have given more firmness to the trade here ; and , upon a fair amount of business , our rates for Wheat have advanced generally 3 d to 4 d per bushel . Foreign Flour must also be noted fully Is per orl higher ; 29 s 6 dto 30 s per brl has been paid
for best bounds of American : home manufacture has not improved in proportion . Scanty supplies of Oats continue to put up their value ; fine Irish mealing have brought 2 s 7 d to 2 s 7 hd per 451 bs .

We advance our quotations for Barley 3 d to 4 d perCfllbs , and there is now very little offering . Beans are Is to 2 s , and Peas 2 a to 3 s per qr dearer . A few hundred qrs of the latter have been sold in bond at 25 s to 27 a per qr , and a couple of small parcel of Egyptian Beans and 16 s to 16 s 6 d per 480 lbs . 1 , 000 to 2 , 000 brls of Ignited States Flour have also changed hands under lock at 22 s to 23 s per brl .

London Smithfield Gaule Market , Monday , July 10 . —The demand for all kinds of Beef ruled extremely heavy , and the quotations suffered an abatement of quite 2 d per 81 bs ; the very highest
figure , for the best Scots and homebreds . not exceeding 4 s per 81 b 3 . The numbers of Sheep brought forward were again extensive . Prime old Downs were very scarce , and commanded full currencies—or from 4 s to 43 4 d per Uba ; but the demand for all other kinds was inactive , at barely stationary prices For Lambs , last week ' s quotations were hardly maintained . Calves at the late decline in price , the highest figure being is 6 d per 81 bs , Neat small Porkers maintained their previous ^ value , but other qualities were a mere drua . During the past week no foreign beasts hare reached Hull , Southampton , or London ; but the first importation has taken place at Bristol , where ten heifers have been received , in a sailing vessel , from Nantes .
London Cohn Exchange , Mark . Lame , Monday , Jul y 10 . —The demand for English Wheat was very active , at an advance ti > the quotations obtained on Monday last of fup- 2 * 3 per qr .

In ihe duty , thereis scarcely any betting .
Wool Market . —There has been an nnnsnaUy large importation of wool into London , during the past week . No further publio sales are yet announced ; still , by private contract , a very limited amount of business is passing both in British and Foreign , at barely late rates .
