Excellent advice is not wanting in Ireland. Mr. O'Gorman, the

As- sistant Barrister in Kilkenny, very judiciously advises the people to pay rents and poor-rates; showing many good reasons for their doing as much. And divers respectable newspapers very properly try to dissuade the people from crop-lifting. It is remarkable, indeed, that a country should need this kind of suasive to the most obvious duties. But that society should be disorganized, that Ribandmen should be reckless and sanguinary in partisan feelings, ceases to be matter of wonder when we notice the tone taken by the ex-officio teachers of the Established Church. At an Ulster Orange meeting, a dignitary of that Church, the Very Reve- rend the Dean of Ardagh, gave vent,to the feelings of an overcharged mind: with affectionate regret for Protestant abjection now, he wept at the men- tion of the battle of the Boyne; he declared "that the English Government had established "an inquisition more hideous than that of Rome," because it inquires whether clergymen support the National system of education ; and he exultingly related the conduct of two young heroines at Dolly's Brae, one of whom cut up her under-petticoat as wadding for the Orange guns, and the other "seized a standard from the men when she

thought she saw them wavering, and led them forward." This is the Protestant counterpart of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Ardagh.
