      [ IN a debate In the House of Commons , on the 6 th of May , on the following motion of Mr . Hume ' s , — " That it is expedient to inquire whether the present Church Establishment of Ireland be not more than

      commensurate to the services to be performed , both in regard to the number of persons employed and the income which they receive /'—Mr ; Robertson suggested the possibility of an union between , the Catholic Church and the Church of England , observing , " that there was , in fact ,

      no difference between them in any essential point of doctrine , the creed of the Romish Church being the same as that of the Church of England , " and that , though there was the greatest difference between the Lutheran

      and Calvinist Chuj-chfes , the Government of Prussia , in 1817 , had , notwithstanding ; , effected an union between them . * This suggestion occasioned the letter that tve here insert from the pen of one of the ablest theologians la the Catholic Church of Ireland . Our readers Will , we are

      persuaded , think it worthy of preservation and of occupying the place in which we put it . Ed . ] To Robertson , Esq ., M . P . Sir , THE sentiments which you are reported to have delivered in the House of Commons on the motion of

      Mr . Harae , relative to the Church Establishment in this country , induce nae , though a stranger , to take the liberty of addressing- you ; and as I W \ <~ w ^ a _ * " - ' < . # _ 4 . a m

      would be foimfi in a union of th 0 Churches which distract and divide us ; , an expression of thy views , who am a Catholic Bishop , may not be unacceptable to you . A person well acquainted with Ireland , wo ^ ild aot find it difficult td

      shew , why the efforts lately made to better her condition ifoave been fruitless , attd why every benefit conferred on her by the Legislature , or through the bounty of the English people , ha 3 had no corresponding effect . Th 6 whole frame of society amongst us i ^ disorganized , and the distrust , apathy fraud , jealousy , and contention which

      prevail universally , as they derange the public will * and prevent the inutual co-operation of all classes , mttstt necessarily prevent the country , whilst they continue , from deriving advantage from aay partial measure , &i emerging from its present depressed .

      if not degraded , condition . * This state of the public mind and feeling h uoquestionably produced b y the inequality pf the laws , and still more immediately by the incessant collision and conflict of religious

      opinions . The Irish Parliament excluded and continued to exclude tfce British Con * stitution from the giteat mass of our people , first through bigotry and i tear of the Pretender i aftervtfai ^
