The sentences upon the criminals connected with THE JOHN BULL, and the man who disgraces the clerical character, as a member of the Estab lished Church, officiating at Liverpool (the Ri.ve- ALS]) R. Blacow), are now matters of history, anti are at the same time subjects of sincere congra tulation to all those who are attached to the British Constitution as it was—as it otOtt to be —and as we hope it will ere long be again.— This cause of congratulation will not be found in the severity proportionate to the crimes com mitted, for the annals of libel do not present us with any thing approaching to the atrocity of either—but from the hope it holds out that the Judges are determined no more to consider so lightly of a lengthened incarceration—three years have been repeatedly rendered a blank in the span al lowed to man in this world, by the sentence of the Court of King's Bench, for a libel of the most trivial kind, and of itself unimportant, though founded in fact, and convinced that the Bench is above that narrow feeling which can permit a Judge to enter into a political balancing of crime...to mete out one It is with much concern we state, that the intel ligence from Ireland -continues to be of a nature the most afflicting, The disturbances have assumed a most sanguinary character, and differ totally from those circumstances which we had occasion to notice at the commencement of the unfortunate troubles.— Another atrocious murder has been committed upon the -.person of Major Collis, who resided in the county of Kerry, near Tralee. His house was en tered by s large party, and plundered, not of fire arms alone, but of every portable article on which the ruffians could lay their hands, Not content with robbing the house, they gave the unfOrtnnate gen tleman a blow with a gun, and killed him on the spot. The premises of the Rev. Mr. Nash were attacked also on the same night, but the fellows were beat off, as he had arms in the house. The Dublin papers of Wednesday give the evidence taken before the Coroner's Inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate family of the Sheas, when the facts sworn to were similar to the details previously pub lished of that horrid and blood-chilling affair. A proclamation has been issued by the Government of Ireland, offering two thousand pounds reward for the discovery of the persons concerned in the inhu man and merciless outrage. The system of intimi dation, robbery, and bloodshed, is spreading to an alarming extent. The ostensible objects of the law less peasantry, it is said, are the abolition of tithCs i no middlemen, and low rents. When, however, the pas.si6ns of these misguided men are inflamed, artful and designing individuals may easily direct their views to other purposes, calculated to shake the very frame of Government itself. At present we cannot perceive that politics have any thing whatever to do with these alarming proceedings, and those to whom the Administration of the affairs of the country are entrusted cannot too quickly enquire into the cause, and have recourse to some renudy, if' possible, to cure the evil, which has now arisen to a most alarm ing height. Those acquainted with Ireland, and the internal state of that fertile yet unhappy country, must know and feel that the absence of the great landed proprietors from their estates, is among the greatest misfortunes which oppress the Island.— Between the lords of the soil and the tillers of the earth, there arc land agents and jobbers, that keep at a distance those who should be more intimately connected, when the peasant could appeal to his natural guardian, who would listen to his complaint, and if well founded, would afford him redress.—lt has been justly observed, that a year or two since, when some of' the cities and counties in the center of England were agitated and disturbed, his Majesty's speech from the throne, at the close of the Session of Parliamant, concluded with an eernest exhortation to the Members to return with all diligence to their country residences, that by their presence in the midst of their tenantry, and of those who were ac customed to look up to them as guides and protec tors, they might check the progress of sedition and immorality. If then this advice was good for Eng land, how beneficial must it also be for Ireland, it men of' fortune in that country were to reside on their estates, where their presence at this moment is so necessary, and so much wanted. As a proof of this, we have only to look to that part of Ireland where noblemen and gentry reside on their estates, 381 where the peace of .society is not disturbed, anti comfort and happiness are enjoyed by the industrious tillers of the soiL A I . . COVENT-G.4RDEN THEAITE. ,' J Mr. M'Cready having renewed his engagement, re appeared at this theatre oil Monday evening in Virginius —his excellent acting in this part is too well-k !WWII 10 need our eulcuy—suffice it to say as a climax of praise, that he never played it better. We now only wall Charles Kimble to complete a company, which by its strength and excellence, ma+ set at nought the moun tebank tricks of " The Proprietor" of the other house. Shakespear's 7'wo Gentlemen of Verona was brought forward on Thursday night, with ;peat taste and uncons. mon splentl.tur. As was the case with the Consedy of Errors, various songs, &c. are introduced, selected 110111 the Poems of Shatcsprare ; and the execution of them are chiefly consigned to Miss Tree, who ably and mots interestingly sustained the character of Julia, and to Miss Hall tide, who was the powerful representative o f Sytrirs. :Hiss Tree has never been seen to greater ad vantage. lit all her perlbrinances she was loudly and justly applauded.

The governor's house stands in the centre, and has a commanding view of all the yards, which are well arranged for the prisoners in walk in, into wich the cells open, and each yard is separated by a high iron railing. In order to keep the prisoners at had labour, there is a large corn mill, which is worked by five male prisoners at a time, by means of a large wheel, with steps on the outside, which they walk up, anti as they ascend, the mill works ; and if any of the prisoners shovel stand still they are thrown backwards. The Connaught Journal contains an account of • yowl.. lady making herself a nun. I'll 6 superstirion, . 0 like most of those with which the Christian religion pis defiled by the practice of the Catholics, is derived from Paganism, having no existence whatever in the early and purer ages of Christianity, nor even its the practice of the Jews, at the time when our Saviour came upon earth. We are surprised at the ostentatious manner in which the nonny:ying of tons fholish girl, Miss Joyce, with her " Titurifereres," her Acolytes, her Celebrants, &c. is thrust ui on public attention. The language in which the cere. mutual is described in the Irish journal is truly lu dicrous. The writer says the scene was sublimely imposing. There are a great many impure/alms of this kind in his religion, of which this, no doubt, was one.

It will be an auckward stance for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to com mence the Session immediately after the close of a quarter in which there has been a serious deficiency.
