HISTORY OF THE UNION WITH IRELAND. II. [From the "Union Magazine," for 1801.] SUCH was the zeal of the metropolis, and so powerful was its influence over the rest of the country, to defeat all attempts which might have been made to effect an union, that the question was not brought forward even indirectly until the year 1798. The supporters and friends of government in both kingdoms, but particularly in Ireland, no longer thought it necessary, in the months of Sep- tember and October of that year, to conceal his Majesty s intention of recommending the measure to the consideration of his parliaments. They felt themselves justified in that avowal by the wretched situation of the inhabitants. The insurrection was indeed suppressed, but there still existed many serious causes of alarm. Property was insecure the spirit of political party, and the rancour of religious prejudice, were unsubdued the mass of the people, groaning under the tyranny of their own countrymen, might be considered as mere spectators curious to witness, but little interested in the result of the measure. Its adoption might improve but could not render their situation worse. The British cabinet and the Irish government had before them the report of the Committee of Secrecy of the House of Commons, which stated, « That the rebellion originated in a system, framed not with a view of obtaining either Catholic emancipation, or any reform compatible with the existence of the consti- tution, but for the purpose of subverting the government separating Ireland from Great Britain, and forming a democratic republic, founded on the destruction of all church-establishment,the abolition of ranks, and the confiscation of property;" and who could undertake to say, that a political connec- tion dependent upon the precarious proceedings of two distinct legislatures, would again triumph over a new conspiracy equally formidable, and the possi- bility of which none could deny ? It was also maintained, that the vices and defects of the parliamentary system, as well as of the governing, system of the sister kingdom, could not long subsist without adding to the calamities of the Irish people, and endangering the safety of the whole empire. For these vices and defects, it was contended that the only remedy which could be found was either a reform or an union with Great Britain but the former, which, by opening an inlet to innovation, might overwhelm the whole fabric was supported by few, and the latter remained the sole remedy. A brief review of the parliamentary system of Ireland, in its origin and progress, will at once shew the justice of these opinions, and illustrate the present subject in several interesting points of view. It is not necessary to revert to those very remote and melancholy times when the great body of the people was reduced to a state of absolute slavery. lhe state of Ireland in the reign of .Elizabeth, when the power of the crown, after a contest of 440 years, was for the first time extended over all the island, and a force was retained in it sufficient to support that power, more immediately presents itself to the view. The minds of men, satiated with the horrid scenes of war, were sincerely disposed to taste the blessings of peace. A dreadful series of disorders, devastations, and bloodshed pre- pared them to receive with alacrity those civil regulations which were introduced by succeeding monarchs. & The rebellion under Queen Elizabeth having occasioned forfeits to a great extent, with respect both to number and value, a colony of protestants was sent over by James I. in order to occupy those lands, and contribute to their improvement. But the new settlers were soon exposed to the barbarous animosities of the natives, who differed from them in religion, in language, in laws, and in all the habits of social intercourse. To provide, therefore, for their security by extraordinary means became a measure of necessity with government, and the king erected for that purpose sixty-seven protestant cor- porations, with the privilege of sending each two representatives to sit in parliament. To this cir- cumstance the institution of an Irish parliament was indebted for its commencement; for although the assembly of the Pale had previously existed that meeting could assert no just claim to the title. A hostile parliament was thus established in a hostile country, and a government arose whose views were opposite to those of its subjects. It derived prosperity and permanence from the wretchedness of the people, and certainly no system could be more formidable than that which had for its basis a necessary reciprocity of coercion and resistance. The protestant interest was further strengthened by Crom- well, who erected new boroughs, and made new distributions of the property belonging to the papists and while the revolution gave to England additional security, for life, liberty, and property, it served in Ireland but to throw heavier chains on the people to exclude the Roman Catholics from the legislature, to wrest from them all means of education, and to arm the hands of the protestant aristocracy with new instruments of oppression. The melancholy etieots of this miserable policy were but too soon visible upon the face of the country and upon the manners of the inhabitants. Industry and emulation were quickly banished; the Irish people, with the Irish soil, became the property of a proud and selfish aristocracy, and to cultivate the land almost for the exclusive benefit of preiudiced and inhuman landlords was the principal object of their unceasing toils and cruel servitude. At the accession of the present royal family, the attention of Great Britain was very much diverted from Ireland, both by the agitation which succeeded the settlement of the House of Hanover upon the throne, and the multiplicity of foreign considerations with which she was then occupied. Ireland was left in a great degree to the will of her own aristocracy which increased in power, and assuming an irres stible control over every viceroy, were heedless of the suffer- ings, or prevented the complaints of the people from reaching the ear of the Sovereign. A compliance with the wishes of the party became a necessary condition on the part of each successive Lord-Lieutenant to carry on the common operations of government A nobleman still living, who was expressly appointed chief governor of Ireland for the purpose of crushing this overbearing and selfish confederacy, succeeded in destroying its power and influence; but it was only by raising upon its ruins an opposite faction, whose views, principles, and conduct, were nearly if not altogether, similar. The constitutional and commercial advantages obtained since the year 1780 were in vain held up as proofs of the excellence of the parliamentary system The people were not to be deceived by so flimsy an argument, and they could not forget that the senti- ments of parliament in these important instances were regulated by the patriotism and firmness of the volunteer army. The auspicious moment had at length arrived for the legislative incorporation of both countries, and the Lord Lieutenant candidly announced the intention of the Sovereign to submit the question to the wisdom of parliament. The public mind was thus called upon to declare itself, for some time before the union was formally proposed by the executive power, and the proceedings of the different bodies and assemblies of men upon the occasion, which either belonged to the city of Dublin, or met there, naturally became the subject of peculiar notice. Among these bodies the gentlemen of the Irish bar took the lead in point of talents, fortune, family, connections, and political influence; and it cannot be denied that they were justly entitled, by their patriotic and splendid exertions for the inde. pendence and prosperity of the country, during a long series of years, to hold a more distinguished rank in the public esteem than any other class of men. They were decidedly hostile to the incorporative sys- tem but that their opposition to it was not altogether uninfluenced by partial and interested motives, will, perhaps, appear from the following observations of that acute reasoner, the Dean of Gloucester:- The chief opposition to the measure must be expected from the bar, who are supposed to be more personally interested against it than any class in society. It is a general habit in the gentlemen of Ireland to educate their sons at the temple, and the number of barristers is much greater in proportion here than in England. And as the profession will not support, by any means, the numbers which pursue it lawyers in Ireland extend their circle to politics, and are very numerous in parliament, and extremely active in the business of it. In England there are few lawyers in the House of Commons, whereas in Ireland they are a formidable phalanx. Were a legislative union to take place, Irish lawyers would be deprived of the parliamentary market for their abilities and ambition they could not attend the British parlia- ment without renouncing business; they would be entirely confined to professional prospects, and meie political emoluments and situations would be taken from their grasp."

THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE: OF THE SALVATION ARMY. General Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, is now visiting the American portions of this organ- isation. The rapidity with which the movement has spread on the American continent is extraordinary, and, if the progress will continue, the American Army will soon be equal to the British "Army" in point of numbers. General Booth spent some time in Toronto (Canada) in October, and whilst there he delivered a lecture on What I know of the Salvation Army to an appreciative audience of some 4,000 persons. Mr. Booth gave facts and figures showing the rapid growth of the Army from a small local mission to a large organisation which is making itself felt in almost every country under the sun. The General spoke to the following effect: -The Army was started twenty-one years ago, but for the first twelve years they did not make much progress. Up to that time he had no idea of forming a separate organisation, for he thought there were plenty of divisions and sects in the Church of God without adding to the number. He had tried in many ways to link his converts unto the other churches, but failed, because, as he began to see, it was impossible for the church to deal with the two classes. If the minister dealt with the class gener- ally found in the Army he would very likely have offended the regular congregation, and if he ad- dressed his own members it would be of very little benefit to the Army converts. In fact, the churches and ministers didn't want anything to do with them, and would not have them, and so at last they took it for granted that God wanted them to be a separate people, and from that day they had grown and grown into what they were then-the great Salva- tion Army. Eight years ago they were a little people, with something like twenty-five separate corps. A corps is simply a band of members, led by a captain and lieutenant, self-supporting in every way. Now, there are 1648 corps. Eight years ago they had 36 salaried officers, and now they have 6063. If they made the same progress during the next fourteen years as they have during the past eight, they will have 40,000 corps and about 100,000 officers. He (the General) had made comparisons he had gone back to the rapid spread of Methodism but he could find nothing to be compared with this movement. In 19 different countries the Army flag was flying, and they had 1D different TVar Crys, with a weekly circulation of about 500,000. They preached Salvation now in 22 different languages, and had soldiers in India, New Zealand, Africa, America (North and South), and in almost every country in Europe. The work was spreading rapidly in other directions. They had a Salvation Navy of 50 ships that had the Army flag flying, and they expected soon to increase that number to the hun- dreds. This" Navy" did an immense amount of good, especially in opening up the cause in foreign parts, such as Buenos Ayres, &c., and also among the large fishing fleets. The Army had taken Australia by force. So great had been their work in Melbourne that the Government voted £ 1,000 to help to carry on their work. The Minister of Finance said he was right glad to vote the amount, and that if the whole House did not agree to it, he would be one of ten to give £ 100 out of his own pocket towards it. That was the sort of Minister of Exchequer they wanted in England. [Laughter.] People thought that he (General Booth) was making a fine thing of the Salvation Army. They often asked Why don't you publish a balance-sheet ?" There had not been a Christmas gone for the last 19 years on which there had not been a correct and duly audited balance-sheet of their accounts published. In fact, there had been so much said about the matter that he was tired of explaining. They also talked about ''General Booth's mansion in Wales," but he was sure he never saw it. A great many people imagined that all the money was sent to him, or that he had a sort of a tax on it all. A greater mistake could not be made, for during the.past 21 years he had not taken a shilling out of the funds of the Salvation Army, and he would challenge the world to produce a better audited balance-sheet and accounts than those of the Army.

EXTRAORDINARY RAILWAY ADVENTURE. On Monday night, as the Holyhead excursion train was returning at express speed from the Liverpool Exhibition, an extraordinary occurrence took place. When between Colwyn Bay and Llan- dudno Junction, Robert Hughes, Vulcan-street, Holyhead, who was accompanied in the carriage by his wife, opened the door of the compartment, and somehow or other fell right out. His poor wife was in a state of fearful agony as the train went on to Bangor. On her arrival there she at once made known the affair to the railway officials, and a telegram was immediately despatched to Llan- dudno Junction. It appears that a special engine and break van were sent in search of Hughes, and picked him up at Colwyn Bay, he having been badly cut about the head and arm, and having also injured his hip. He was taken to Bangor, where his wounds were dressed, and subsequently sent home the same morning by the early mail train. With a little assistance, he was able to walk home, but he is suffering considerably, and lies in a condition requiring great care.

EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY IN SOUTH W ALES.- Another arrest has been made by the police in con- nection with the extraordinary robbery of £ 340 at the Midland Railway Station, Swansea, on Satur- day. The money, which was drawn from the Glamorganshire Bank by Mr. Player, managing director of the Pontardawe Tinplate Works, was sent in a bag to the railway station by his coach- man to be conveyed to the works. While at the railway station the coachman was accosted by a young woman, who handed him a letter purporting to come from Mr. Player, stating that the coach- man was wanted at once, and that he was to leave the money in the care of his niece, Miss Gilbertson. The coachman accordingly handed over the cash, but no trace could afterwards be found of the woman or the money. On Wednesday, however, the police arrested a young female, and on Thurs- day, Miss Clara Wills, aged 20, a nicely-dressed and good-looking young lady was charged before the Swansea magistrates with being an accomplice with Frederick Huxtable, now in custody, in stealing the bag. John Robbins, the groom, said that when near the railway station on Saturday with the money he met the prisoner and Huxtable. Prisoner handed him a note purporting to come from his employer, instructing him to hand over the money, which he did. The prisoner was remanded, bail being refused. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF Soutbc WALES AND Monmouthshire,- CARDIFF.-The council has determined to light the general library of the college and the Salisbury Library by eloctricity, under Messrs. Elwell & Parker's system of secondary batteries, the object in view being to save the cost of re-binding, rendered necessary b;y the damage caused by the use of common gas. It was announced at the meeting of the council held on Wednesday week that the county of Brecon had invested the sum of £ 1000 for the foundation of one or two scholarships at the College, limited to natives of the county of Brecon.

They work a thorough purification throughout the whole system, without disordering the natural action of any organ, and eradicate those germs of complaints which consign tens of thousands to an early grave. Indigestion, Bilious Complaints, and Sick Headache. No organ in the human body is so liable to disorder as th. liver, and none is more apt, when neglected, to become seriously diseased. Remember when nausea, flatulency, or acidity on the stomach warns us that digestion is not proceeding properly, that Holloway's Pills regulate every function, give strength to every organ, speedily remove all causes of indigestion, bile, and sick headache, and effect a permanent cure. Weakness and Debility. In cases of debility, languor, and nervousness, generated by excess of any kind, whether mental or physical, the effects ol these Pills are in the highest degree bracing, renovating, and restorative. They drive from the system the morbid causes at disease, re-establish the digestion, regulate all the secretions, strengthen the nervous system, raise the patient's spirits, and. bring back the frame to its pristine health and vigour. Turn of Life and Dropsical Swellings. The turn of life is the most distressing period in woman'S existence; it destroys thousands. The whole of the gross humours collect together, and like a tide sweep away health and life itself, if not timely and powerfully checked. The most certain antidote for all these dangers is Holloway's Pills. The Kidneys-Their Derangement and Cure. If these Pills be used according to the printed directions, and the Ointment rubbed over the region of the kidneys for at least half an hour at bed-time, as salt is forced into meat, it will penetrate the kidneys and correct any derangement. Should the affliction be stone or gravel, it is particularly re- commended that the Ointment, in such cases, be used night and morning, as by its judicious application the most astound- ing cures may be performed.
