      The history of " St . Giles and St . James" is continued . Poor St . Giles isarrcsted on the false charge of having tubbed and murdered St . James , vrho has Ikch found by some smugglers In an apparently dying state . They carry the wounded man to Dovcsncst , the residence of a villauous old usurer , the husband of a yonnij and lovely woman , who—the case is a common one iu " high life" —has been bought in the fashionable slave-market with the usurer ' s gold . It weuld appear that the money-lender's wife and St . 3 ames have been lovers . Snipe-ton ( the usurer ) is absent from home , when St . James , in a state of nnconjtioncness , is brought to tho vulture ' s-nost . The return of Snipeton exhibits a scone the nature of whieii mar be imasincd . St . Giles is brought to Dovcsnest ' to be identified by the supposed dying man , bat at the moment of the expected rccontrc St . James 5 s found to be gone . Ja describing the usurer , the author thus launches Lis thunder against tie Mcloeli Hke gods of gold : —

      __ " Tha Misanthrope , " by an Optimist , is a good article , breathing a holy and cheering belief in the progress of the human race from evil to good .

      George Crtjiksilakk's Table Bookdcly. Lo...

      GEORGE CRTJIKSILAKK'S TABLE BOOKdCLY . Loudon : Fimch Office , 52 , Fleet-street . From beginning to end this month's number of the Telle Book claims our warmest praise . Tho opening article is en " Social Zoology , " accompanied by two splendid illustrations , the subjects being " a horrib . 'e lore iu the company , " and " the lion of the party . " Tiie lcrtci-prcss descriptions by the editor arc excellent . Here is a specimen : — It often happens that the naturalist is puzzled to discriminate between an animal and a plant , as in the wellknown case of theqwK ? c . ' aud the social zoologist finds hiiuseif in the same difficulty , for the sponge is certainly a dining-out animal , and yet he has the properties of tho plant , for he plants himself on those whom he designs to victimise . * * * The female bore is

      chieijy remarkable for her numerous progeny . She will appear surrounded by an extensive litter of little ones , who will sometimes he exceedingly frolicsome . They v . iil jump up into your lap , put theirpanrs into your plate , aad play all sorts of antics , if you give them the least encouragement . Literary bores , who are for the most part females , arc usually calleil blue , and it is believed that an intellectual ladies' society used formerly to assemble at the Blue Boar , iu Iiolborn . " A Legend of the Rhine , " an excellent burlesque , is the best romance we have read for juanv a day . " The Lover's Sacritke , " a tale of the Court Ball , describes the sacrifice of adarlingpair of whis & ers which one ilugii de Iiolborn was tempted to make to appear at the Queen's fancy dress ball . The sacrifice

      nearly proved a fatal one , the hero's iadye-lovc being "regularly flabergasted" at the loss of her swain ' s whiskers . Macassar Oil , however , provided a remedy —love did the rest ; the happy pair were made one , and Hugh de Iiolborn . took for iiis family arms the motto of "Cat and Come Again I" "Dissolvius Views , " aud " The Stage Priiice , " arc both capital . The coneluding article is from the pen of George Gvuikshanh himself , and is highly honourable alike to his head and heaiT . The subject is " The Preservation ol Life , " and suggests plans for the preservation ol human life iu eases of lire and shipwrecks . V / e fully agree with Mr . Ciuikshauk , that " the legislature that compels the formation of parly-walls and sewers , ought to make tho erection of some simple and

      effective fire-escape compulsory upon the landlord of every house in the metropolis . " It would be useless for us to transfer the article to our columns unless we could transfer along with it its "dlustratious . Wc may , however , state that Mr . Cuuikshask's principal scheme for saving life in case of lire is , the erection of a continuous" balcony in front of the upper windows ( of each floor ) of every house . The apprehended evils of , and objections to , this simple contrivance are answered by Mr . Ckuiksuaxk most satisfactorily . Other contrivances for guarding against the ignition of the clothing of females when engaged in their household duties , and for saving life in case of sMpwicck , are suggested and explained , and altogether the article is oncof a most useful and interesting

      character . i The recent dreadful calamity in Dover-street must convince all classes of the necessity of some means being adopted to provide for the saving of human life in ease of fire . House-proprietors iu general are too avaricious to care ouc jot for the lives of their tenants ; their only thought is for their property , the value of which may be secured to them by the insurance ofnees . Their culpable indifference should not however be tolerated by Qic legislature , and if the latter are equally indifferent , the public must , by a wholesome " pressure front without , " enforce legislation ou this all-important matter . To Mr . Cruiksiiaxk we return our grateful thanks for calling public attention to this subject , and we earnestly hope that , through the medium ol" his delight ! ul Talk Book , his excellent article will be read far aud wide .

' Xo cause of storm , tempest , or swollen waters , had brought about its ueslraction . It had fallen simply because it was rotten , and could stand no longer .

It is to hi- hoped that it may b ? not only characteristic , hat tvpi »? . l oi ' th : fate of one or t ' . vo things in Italv .

But every time a carriage came up , it took precedence of " them : usurped their turn , and added another halt" hour to their detention . Yet this , too , was borne with perfect good humour . Poor Italy ! to hear , has been the hard lessor , taught her in all kinds of various ways for many a long day vast . It is a lesson which she hits hut too -. rcli Jcaraf . .

Here , and at every turn , prfril :--e , casle , legal preferences !

      Wc agree with the writer cf the above , and earnestly pray that the break-down of the rotten bridge of the Toce may be typical ci ' thc speedy bvcak-dowu and total destruction of the rotten Governments , political and religious , which have for centuries cursed , and yot continue to curse , that beautiful but unhappy land . Again , wo recommend this Magazine to our readers . The idea on which it is founded is an cxeejient one ; thus fay , that idea has b : cn spiritedly carried out , and wo trust that the public ' s support will not be wanting to crown the project with complete success .

The new editor will excuse us , if wo express our hope that his management may ho as satisfactory to his readers as that oi" iiis prede-CCesOl ' . For the present we are somewhat disappointed , the promises given in the preceding number not having been carried out in this number , or , at least , but partially . This , however , wc must attribute to a misfortune , which we regret , namely , tiie illness of the authoress who was to have produced the romance promised in the June number . This romance will , however , wc are assured , be commenced shortly . A general title-page and index to the first volume was promised in the preceding number , but wc do not iiudit in this ; an omission which wc hope will bo rectified in the next number .

      The present number opens with " a Greek tale , " entitled "Ambition , " in which is the beginning of a full , true , and particular account of

      "The fool who fired the Epiiesian dome . " The greatest portion of tho number is taken up with , reviews , the principal of which arc . on Mr . Osnonxn's " Guide to Madeira , the Azores , British and Foreign West Indies , Mexico , Ac ., " and Thiers ' " History of the Consulate and Empire of France under Napoleon . " The first of these is a delightful piece of raiding . As regards the review of Thiers , we cannot afford room to review the reviewer , otherwise wc should question his characters of RobesmnRE , Navolkos , and Tuikus , of whom wc hold very different views . The following remarks , however , have our hearty approbation : —

      MODERN WAHFAHE Is a brute slaughter ; only disgusting , not inspiring . Ever since the days of the Chevalier Hayard , war has been becoming nroro of the nature of a hatlue , a mechanical butchery on a large scale , by the united aid of balls , powder , and steam . The attacking column , by which most battles are won , is a battering-ram of human beings , almost as insensate , with just as little power of volition , affording just as little opening for the coward to flee , or the brave to reap distinction , as that ancient engine oi destruction . There is no fascination , nothing for the imagination in this worn-out game of royalty ; it is a dull death's feast , and men will soon begin to revert to its dismal horrors with the same revolting feelings that they look hack to cannibalism , human sacrifices , or other bloody rites of a dark and savage nee .

      There is a short article on " Flirting and Coquetry , " which will be interesting to the student o f female mysteries . The following sweet wee piece of poetry wc have taken the liberty of extracting entire for the gratification of our readers : —

      time asd icvr . Poets tell us that Tixtc hath wings , Aud I think 'tis true , I think 'tis tree ! He is oxtc of the fleetest feathered things That ever flew , that ever ilew ! Tor have I not loved 1 anil havo I not frit Hoir Love ' s sweet hoars to moments melt ? And swift with delight , Is day in its flight . And we chide the daivn that chases the night , Xow when hath Time these rapid wings % Now ! c 7 : fli doth Time thus swiftly flv 1

      I hear a bird that sweetly sings , And to my soul glad answer brings" V . ' henthose ice love arc nigh !" 0 ! Time hath crutches as well as wings And oft no creeping thing except : He is one of the slowest creeping things That ever crept ! that ever crept ! For have I not loved , yet , day by day , Pelt moments creep like ages away ? Anil over my head , With feet of lead , Coldly , darkly , heavily tread ?

      Xow trim doth Time thus lose his wings ? How toicii goes Time thus crawling on ? With other voice the sweet bird sings , And to my soul -sad answer brings" mien those ice love are gone ! The present number being the first of a new volume , affords a good opportunity for new subscribers making their acquaintance with this liiview .

      SIMMONDS' COLONIAL- MAGAZINE-July . London : Simmonds and Ward , IS , Cornhill . There are several valuable articles in this number of SKiwionds' Magazine , of which the chief arc on " The Progress oi" Wealth . Trade , and Population in Canada ; " "Notes on the Sandwich Islands ; " " Port Philip compared with the Cape of Good Hope and other Colonics ; " and " The Agriculture of ilindostan . " There are also several articles of a lighter character , mixing entertainment with instruction . We have perused with much pleasure the portion here given of a " Narrative of a Steam-Voyage from Southampton to St . Lucia ; " and Captain Morion's article ' On the Origin of Basaltic Columns . " The article entitled " Reminiscences of the Island of Cuba" is also entertaining , although the writer has as yet told nothing about Cuba , and in his sketchings is much more of a caricaturist than a painter . From his narrative we extract the following tit-bit t—

      J 0 XA 1 I ASD TUB WHALE . An English missionary , one of a set of humbugs who are as plentiful as carrion crows in distant parts—and what good they do , save gulling John Bull , and swindling him out of his cash , the Lord only knows ! for neither 1 nor sensible persons have ever yet been able to find it out . An English missionary , I said ( termed Mr . Sleckhead , no doubt because the hypocrite wore his hair gummed down upon his brow , to assume the most sanctified appearance ) one day called upon a Hack nigger ( for there are white ones in coal pits ) , and found him bent upon reading the bible . The black fellow , on hearing the approach ot footsteps , raised his head , saying , n " Morning , ifassa Sleckhead ! top ob de day to you ! " How do you do , Mr . Castlereagh V This was tiie name the nigger had assumed : they always like grand names . " What arc you reading about V " lie reading 'bout Mnssa Jonah , " " AhJonah was a good , but nn ill-used man . "

      , "So me sec . Like yourself , Massa Sleekhead . Some persons no believe de good you do . Massa Jonah de best mil in do world in dose days ; you in dese . So de wicked pick one great qunrrsl with him ; and has Massn Jonah no show de tight , dey toss him into de sea . IJen Jonah began to bewail , aud de big whale f nhiog J "" called , he «* ol ! oived Jonah ; den Jonoh svyaU'Wed Ue Whale , for Jonah was ilebiMi fond oh fish ! , " The following sweet lines are also veil worthy of extract j—

      EREAMISC OF UOME . I am dreaming of the cabin where I was born ant . broc , And of the time-worn Bible in which my mother read , As the birds among the lilacs were nestling down to rest , And clonds of gold and violet lay melting in fee . west , And the winds among the roses and the ehbpas otW 1 bird Were making all the music my childhood ever heard . I f-. el tho print of sorrow grow deeper on my brow As long-lost friends come round me as they are coming But there are golden moments still o ' or my heart that

      " here we used to sit and listen to the singing of the rPlj—I wonder if its plashing is as lovelv in the light . And it the pebbles in it nrc as beautiful and bright , As tiiey were ia that glad morning I am dreaming of to-day , Ere a shade of coming shadows or , my plowing future lay . l ^ nevev watch tho sunset in summer ' s pleasant eves , Till twilight dim aad misty unfolds her starry I eaves , lint 1 seem to hear the stirring of an angel ' s viewless wing , And a low voice by me singing as my mother use-. , to sing ; I never feast in chambers wrought cunningly by art , But that cabin wkh its roses i ) i with me in my heart . Should the path . a : > I tread onward grow rough beneath my feet , And the pukes dull and heavy that so buoyantly did beat—Should enemies as ? ail me 1 'il shelter from the strife , In this , tiie sweet oasis : ;; the desert of mv life .

      TAIFS MAGAZiXE-Ju .- . Edinburgh : ^ 'Imt , 107 , PrinceWrcct . Ji'hc opening article in this month ' s number of Tent u an able and interesting one on Colonel . iIiTCUEix s " 1-ali of Napoleon . " This article will go far to open the eyes of the blind worshippers of NAroi . ro . v , wi ' . o , unfortunately , ni-e not confined to France . Judging of Colonel 3 \ 1 itciii : li . ' s book by the extracts given in Tail , and tho praises bestowed " upon it by the reviewer ,. wc imagine that tho Colonel has done good service to tiie cause of public morality and general enlightenment , by his - examination into the causes and circumstances of Napoleon ' s fall . Tho yet lingering veneration amongst the ignorant-, for tiiosc wholesale spoliators and Murderer ;? , called

      heroes , aided by a generous , but in this instar . ee misplaced sympathy for the fallen , lias caused a veil to be cast over the gigantic crimes of the Gallic despot , and something like a halo of admiration to surround his name . Time , however , will dispel this illusion ; ai : d we thank ColoiK'l Mirciciii lor doing something towards stripping this monstrous idol of his gaudy and deceptive trappings . A worse traitor to free pwneifdflis—a more solli ' sh , arrogant despot—a more cold-blooded , brutal , blood-spiller , never existed than Xapoleox . "A Lockerbie Licit" is a capital Border rhyme , which wo only regret is too lengthy to transier to our columns . Madame Wouexsiieugek ' s "Letters from Naples" arc continued in this number , and unfold a most depraved and shocking state of things

      existing in that city . The worst feature of Neapolitan life is tho general idleness , nllh ' tuoss , and corruption of tho women , high and low , rich and poor . The cause of thk is , the debasing and withering influence of tho priests . "Their only religion is a superstition , that tends to deaden all other faculties , without encouraging either sympathy with their fellow-creatures , or requiring " virtuous conduct as a proof of piety . The most bigottod women are neither better mothers nor more faithful wives ; they are only the most exact observers of forms , autUlcvotcd slaves of the priests , to the utmostpoint oi' obedience , often thus procuring tl ; o indulgence they require from their confessor for their intrigues . " " Jeiuimah Wilkinson , the American Prophetess , " is an interesting account of a most singular being . There are several reviews of new works , ail , as is the wont with this Magazine , ably executed . "The Opinions of Blanco White" is a critique on a

      work recently published , entitled " Tho Life of tho Rev . Joseph Blanco Yv'hite . " Uhuico White , a Spaniard by birth , but of Irish descent , was educated in tho Romish faith , and became a priest of that communion ; lie , however , subsequently "boxed the compass" of nearly all the creeds and no " creeds of Europe—being at one time a Deist , then an Atheist , then a Iligh-Church-of-England-man , then an Evangelical Protestant , and , finally , some sort of a Unitarian , lie appears in all these changes to have been perfectly honest and sincere . He was a man of won . dcvt ' ul ability , and his knowledge of the crafts , frauds , and crimes of the European priesthoods oi all denominations , was most extensive . * "With all his seeming inconsistencies , whatever he believed to be tiie truth , that he fearlessly proclaimed , and the cause of free thought found in him a talented and zealous champion . Wc havo culled from ' imt two or three specimens of his views , which just now are

      significantly instructive . ikis : i cATncr . ECzs . tt . I have arrived at the conclusion that , were it not for the Irish Church Establishment , ilia indirect influence of English civilisation would have produced a tacit reformation on Irish Popery . I am , indeed , fully aware that the Iloimmist system is incapable of a real reform ; for its principle—submission to a priesthood—is essentially wrong aud mischievous . But had it not been for the constant irritation produced on both the priesthood and laity of Catholic Ireland , by the political ascendancy enjoyed and asserted hy a small minority of Protestants , Irish Popery would by this time bo but an empty name , for all the efficient intellect of Ireland . * * "With respect to the lower classes , ' and to the mass of the Irish

      Catholics , thesa controversial scenes must have an injurious result , they must attach them more and more to their Clau'ch . 'i'lie Church of England hivitss the people with a mc-i'fi fragment of Popery—as wi-on ;; in principle as l ' opery itself , and iuiinitely less attractive to the popular mind . I saw some weeks ago a quotation from Dr . Jobb , in which lie declared that he found more devotion among the Irish peasantry of the Romanist than of the Protestant persuasion . Such must be the case every where . That kind of devotion which the above-mentioned bishop wished to see diffused , cannot he promoted among the lower classes by the Protestantism of the Church of England : it requires a " degree oi

      enthusiasm , which the dry and lame theory of doctrines preserved in the Thirty-nine Articles , cannot raise . Hence the want which the English peasantry felt o ;' what the Methodists gave them , at least for a time . The more , therefore , the English skeleton is brought out into direct comparison with the well dresscd-up image of Popery , the greater will be'the aversion of the lower classes to change ; the more their abhorrence of the name of Protestant . Popery cannot stand the increase of intellectual light ; it must vanish before tree knowledge and the effects of civilization ; but if dichu's are sut against divines , those of lioine will surely carry the lower classes along with them .

      SCHOOLS FOB SLAVES . All the ancient Asiatic temples had fin establishment of slaves , who belonged to tho priesthood . —Tiiat custom has revived , in a spiritual shape , among us . 1 have just been looking at a long double row of girls and boys , walking slowly towards Mr . S ' s church . What a monstrous medley will the minds of those children present if they actually take in the instruction of their priest ! Xo one can form to himself an idea of such a state of mind , who does not know Mr . S—— , one of the greatest luminaries of the Evangelicals . It is probable , however ,

      that the children will keen very uttlo of what they hear under the name of religion ; but , unfortunately , iu most cases , the mental distortion will continue through life , disabling the priestly slaves from all healthy ami vigorous use of their faculties . —It is melancholy to considci the numbers who are thus mentally crippled by . tho activity of the various priesthoods . Mr . S ' s school appears to me to consist of from two to three hundred children . —Does Mr . S——and his compeers love education 1—Yes ; passionately—they lovo the education which produces shirrs to their otvn priestly class .

      THE FATAL ERBOH . One of the oldest and most pernicious errors of mankind , is that which supposes tho necessity of forming it body of men who , in the name of . Heaven , shall take the guidance of the religious principle of all the rest . Once grant that such bodies exist , for tho benefit of morality , or much more , for the salvation of the eternal souls of men , and a most active encroaching principle is brought into existence , which must bo perpetually at work upon society , to bring it completely under the power of the priesthood . The usurpations of l ' opory are the natural result of the existence of a priesthood , which , more than any other in the world , identifies it ; own supremacy with tho highest conceivable interests of mankind . Hardly any of the ancient religions afforded such plausible pretexts to the ambition of its priesthood , as the priesthoods which have seized upon Christianity as their peculiar domain , derive from the doctrines of the Gospel .

      In no matter whatever , needs a man bo reminded of what he believes , except in religion . What a man-believes he knows , and what he knows he believes . Why should the priesthood come to us with an inventory of what we believe 1—The priesthood do not care about our belief : what they want is our assent ; so they make out a !; . < i of what we are to assent to , if we are to avoid the consequences of their indignation ! The old llonu ' sh priesthood do not conceal this i according to them , any one who says , " I believe whatever tho Mother Church believes , " has saving faith . The Protestant Churches desire to disguise their wishes , which are thu saunas those of Koine , and minco the matter . Yet there never was , nor ever will be , a priesthood guiltless of the design to take nil other men ' s minds into their keeping .

      The present number is altogether a very interesting one , and will well sustain tho deserved popularity of this fuanly-establishcd and cleverly-conducted Magazine .

There ' ¦ was a time when tiie ham and beef shop of St . Martin ' s- i court was known all over Euvopa : # or , at least , ail over I London , which is almost synonymous , its name and ; fame , or rather its viands , were i-. i every mouth . j And , oh .

I believe it to be the duty of every one , he his station never so humble , should fate have placed him in a situation to observe the vat ious positions of mankind , — I fsy , I believe it io be his duty to record thoso obscrrati ins , if not for the instruction , at least as an attempt , at the amusement of the many who " nave not found the same opportunities to observe for themselves . I am aware , that those who write merely to amuse are not ranked in the highest grade of intellectual labourers : this may or may not he just ; but , had I my will , they should hold a pretty exalted situation in i ' nine ' s highest temple . The doctor and the sm-jreon may do much to relieve the body ' s pains ; but what physician has ever "minis , tcr : ;! to a mind diseased" with half the success of a Scott or Dickens' ?

Yv'hcn the Irish Colleges' Debate was coining on at the hetriiutiug of the week , tho Chronicle kindly took the pains to consult Hansard for Mr . O'Conncil , < ttid put before the old gentleman his early opinions upon the beauty and loveliness of mixed education , iiis arguments were very strong and his language charminrdy pathetic : — " Can you , who arc convinced of the

      truth of your church , dread the consequences of a fair development of the public mind by education ? I have heard a great many arguments against this plan of education in common—bv : t it is a powerful argumciif , oil the other hand , that there is nothing more desirable than that the youth of this country , separated as they arc bv twenty-live or twenty-six leading persuasions , should , while the unsophisticated and aifectioiuito feelings of youth are warm in their bosoms , have tho inestimable advantage of mixing together iu friendly and umioubting intercourse , so that the angry aud jealous passions which may afterwards come upon them may be assuaged by the jrcntle recollections of their youthful friendships . "Beautiful ! beautiful 1 it ' s as touching as the Sorrows of Worter . Dan must havo been very much obliged to the Chronicle for bringing these " gentle recollections" of his forward : though they may possibly have spoiled ' a speech of remarkable power" in a different way . But if the old Liberator could not speak ,

      there was a young one at hand with the new doctrine —and a very pretty doctrine it is too—which , as wo « 11 know the freedom of speech which the Liberator allows to his members , may be supposed to bo that of the devout papa as well as the . aodly son who propounds it . Because Mr . Wysc , " of ' \ Vatorford , approves ' of the Irish Colleges tlill , Mv . John O'Conucll says , "Wyso is a schismatic Catholic : and consigns him—never mind whither . The Irish Bishops don't approve of the Bill—every Catholic ought to listen to his Bishops—if he refuses he is a schismatic , and the end of schism is—never mind what . If you are dissatisfied with the Bishops , Mr . John says , you have one remedy—an- mtzai , to Rous . So Rome is io be tltc mistress when the empire is disunited ; and Repeal means the supremacy of tho Pope in Home I One can hardly believe tho words , though they stare you in tiis face . —Mr . O'Conncil said , — " lie obeyed the prela t es of his Church' ( hear ); for who were the ecclesiastical authorities for the

      Catholics oi Ireland , but the bishops of Ireland ? lie told the ri / rlit hon . gentleman again , that he ought to look to Home , and not to the lloit . sc of Commons , for advice on this subject . Even if this how-c were composed wholly of Roman Cr . titoiies , it would be no tribunal to bring a question before , which was between him and the bishops of Ireland . Here was the declaration of the Catholic bishops—the authority which ho believed to be the suaretnc authority in Ireland , controllable only by the Sovereign Pontiff , deciaving this bill was dangerous to the faith and mentis of the Catholic people . " Look here , gentlemen Repealers , at the ' kind uf freedom which your Liberator has in store for you . if peopic-aro to pay filial obedience to . . those gjiostiy fathers , there is no end to the paternal homage they may seem lit to exact . If the bishops interfere about a lecturer on aniiV-miy er jurisprudence , " why not about a family matter , a bargain , or a lcr . se ? ' They have a right to choose your library : suppose they advance a right to cositroul vour letlcer ? . S :: » m . -o tho bishons demand

      it , as a Catholic you insist obey—always with the liberty of appealing to Rome . Here is the O'Conncil creed in tiie nineteenth century : — "Down with tho British , and on your knees to the Pope . Away with the Saxon , and put your trast in the Roman . " As wc write this , we U 2 ; : in to boil and foam over like the Standard . There is Mr . Dwis , of the Nation , who pants for freedom , and would not mind a little blood-letting to procure it . Well , Mr . Davis , suppose the Saxon done for , and see what comes nexta reign of Catholic bishops and the Pope supremo . Daro y « n preach against this as vou preach against

      English tyranny ? Daro you rebel against Dan and his supreme Pose , as you ' would against us oppressom over the water ? Do yot mcn , " who assume to bo the leaders of the Libera , ! party in Ireland , acknowledge tlrl ? doctrine ? acquiesce in a supremacy which has L-ee : i tried in , and kiciced out of , ail Europe ? It would seem as if von did . It w * uld seem as if those ardent spirits that Unsiw about cutting English throats aro so cowed , that if O'Conncil were to setup the Inquisition they daren't protest—and these aro the men who shriek out for lihertv , and gasp for the freedom "for which Sarsficld fought , and Tone orgauisod !
