I have been told, on high authority, that if I bring this subject before the House of Lords it will be immediately silenced its an attack upon the Throne, Insurmountable technical difficulties prevent my exposing in a court of justice the vile conduct of those who have slandered my sister aud but one course, therefore remains open to me, aud that is, to publish the accompanying correspondence.

"I told you all knew from L.Jy Tavistock, and have nothing to add to that statement.

She had a painful duty imposed upon her, she discharged it to the most cautious and delicate manner, and fccU she dm nothing to reproach herself with. I repeat that I am unable to answer this question yam Ant pat to me, and I do not think I should be justified ia requiring Lady Tavistock to do so. If yon do nut covtskkt this 'frank' I am sorrv for it course, was far anterior to the creation of the world, according to the Mosaic account, which the bone-grubbing philosophers of the chalk formations have so properly exploded. On examining the jaws and maws of the fossil Whigs, and clearly ascertaining the carnivorous and rapacious propensities of these petrifactions of Whig humanity when alive and crawl-ing upon tho earth, O'Connell classed them under the heads of "base, brutal, and bloody," and there they are ticketed and labelled under this nomenclature in his cabinet of Anglo-Irish curiosities. In one point, and only in one, were these fossil Whigs like the Cabinet Whigs of the present day, and that was in the remarkable coincidence (by some curious process satisfactorily established by Mr.

Council) of having in life the same individual names as those now existing, who, of course, resemble them ih nothing else. For instance, he ascertained that one of those petrifactions of the bygone race of kue, brutal, and bloody" Whigs was called Thomas Spring Rice. Another was designated Lord Viscount Melbourne a third Lord Duncannon (a fossil almost all chin) a fourth Lord Palmerston (a very lovely fossil) a fifth Sir John Cam Hobhouse a sixth Mr. Peulett Thomson (a rare specimen of a fructifying fossil) a seventh Lord Holland, and so en. This coincidence of names between the defunct race of Whigs and the living one was the more remarkable, inasmuch as their natures are so very different.

For we have it on the authority of the same Mr. O'Connell that the Cabinet Whigs of the present day are models of liberality, high-mindedneat, and humanity in fact, that, instead of being base, bloody, and brutal, as the original petrifactions were, they are patterns of patriotic dieiuteresteduess intense benefactor of the human race, and, to crown ail, lhe ouly friends that Ireland ever had." Thus is the Irish Atlas of the ministry, who bears the Melbourne Cabinet, bed-chamber," and all, upon his broad shoulders, as great in geological as he undoubtedly is in theological discoveries while it must be admitted that in his character of historiographer to the Scarlet Lady he is greatest of With a few spec' mens of bis mode of recasting the old almanack we have already dealt, if not for the edification, at least, for the amusesaont of our readers. For instance, did we do not do full justice to the originality of his discovery in regard to the murder of the royal infants in the Tower, when he informed the world that they had been put to death by the Duke of Buckiugham, though heretofore it has always been supposed that thc duke himself incurred the deadly hostility of the crook-backed tyrant, and finally perished on the scaffold, because of his refusal to assent to Richard's infanticide project and his usurpation of his nephew's crown. Again, did we not give Mr. O'Connell all the credit which he so richly earned by discovering that the real instigator of the riots ol London in 1780 the incendiary of the British metropolis was no other than Johu Wesley, the founder of the religious sect that bears his name It was well for John and his disciples that Daniel O'Connell thc discoverer also of the Conservative poison plot against the Queen did not flourish at the time ot the London riots, or the aforesaid John, iiiBtctid of having his memory venerated by millions as an apostle of the Christian faith, would inevitably have figured in the Newgate and there liave eclipsed the flagrant glories of John the Painter, who was hanged for setting our great national dockyard on fire.

If, however, that most amiable, meek, tolerant, and truly Christian system of religion, of which Mr. O'Connell is an active missionary the religion which illuminated the bloody Mary's reign with th bonfires that consumed the Protestant martyrs if, we say, that most angelic system of faith had been aa powerful in England in the reign of George I1L as it was at a former time, John Wesley, for merely preaching Christ crucified" without a Popish crucifix and saints' relics, and other pions trumpery in which O'Connell delights, would have been literally made a burning and a shining light," by the aid of a Popish tar-barrel and torch.

My Lord, I beg leave to acquaint your lordship that rain, however, continuing throughout tho whole of Wednesday, with frequent heavy showers yesterday, put a complete stop to the proceedings of harvest; but, with very Ane weather again i reaping has been actively resumed tbb morning. Our supplier of Kngllsh and Irtah produce received since Tuesday are still perfectly Insignificant, and we have very little tn report fresh In from abroad; which.

A sample also of Irish new kilndricd red, of but middling quality, brought nearly the latter price. Foreign wheat tn granary, which forms the bulk of he supply, continued to meet a fair demand for consumption and several further parcels being taken for shipment ru Ireland, all descriptions supported the full rates of Tuesday.

Ou the morning of the 20(h of February I received, at Do-nington Pork, a letter from my sister, the late Lady Flora Hastings, dated the Itfth of February, informing me that her honour had been most basely ass died, but entering into no particulars. On the receipt of this I hastened instantly (o London, and on repairing to my sister, was horroi-struck by learning from her own lips, for the first time, a partial outline of the disgusting truths which are now, alas but too well known to the public to need any further repetition from me. She said at once, that she felt ft a duty she owed to herself, her mistress, and her family, to submit to the inhuman trials she underwent, in the preseuce of (to use her own words) her accuser, Lady Portman, Sir James Clark, and her own maid (whose deposition is how certified upon oath). Sir Charles Mansfield Clarke, long kuown to her family, was also chosen by my poor sister to attend her.

I may here very properly place the statement of my sister, Lady Flora Hastings, merely remarking that I learned from her own lips, that the examination to which she was subjected was conducted with more than ordinary disregard to delicacy and to her feelings: STATEMENT IN THE HANDWRITING OF THE LADY FLORA HASTINGS, MARCH, 183J, SUBMITTED IN THE FORM OF A CASE TO 8LR WILLIAM FOLLETT AND MR.

He returned with a reiteration of what he had already said, and, think, but will not be positive, added that it was the more imperative as tlie rumour had reached her Majesty.

I said also that before anything was determined it would be requisite for me to know the Duchess of Kent's pleasuie and inquired if her Royal Highness had authorised these communications to me? To my surprise I learned that her Royal High-iicati was still uninformed that the slightest suspicion rested on me, titssniM a rt having been notified to me that it was her Majesty's pleasure that I should not appear until my character was cleared by the means suggested, and having obtained the permission of her Royal Highness to submit to it, as the most instantaneous mode of refuting the calumny, I sent ou Sunday, the 17th, for Sir Charles Mansfield Clarke and Sir James Claike, and the examination took place in the prttscnceof my accuser, Lady Portman, aud my own maid.

In the evening Lady Portman came to mc, to express her regret for having been the most violent against me. She acknowledged that she had several times spoken a great deal to the Queen on the subject, especially when she found it was her Majesty's own idea. 8he said she was very sorry, but she would have done the same respecting any one of whom she had the same suspicion.

The sins of the father of Methodism would be visited on the children, in additiou to their own, nor would they have to complain that the blazing honours of martyrdom were parsimoniously con fen ed. That O'Connell considers that day fast approaching we may learn from the following exulting statement in his missionary tract lately circulated in England to assist the pious work of Popish proselytism, in which, as well as in mouey-grasping projects, he is most devoutly engaged Almost universally Catholicity is making on every side itt couquests. There is abroad a nappy disposition towards returning to the one fold and the One Shepherd, which consoles the heart and animates the hope of every sincere aud charitable Christian." There, Protestant Dissenters of England, behold the destiny which is prepared for you accordiug to the authority of that man whose Irish brigade" of Popish voters in the House of Commons is, next to tho ladies of tlw bedchamber we must give the ladies the preference), the mainstay of that bastard Whig administration of which so many of you are the zealous adhereuw.

The reason why your fathers dissented from the reformed Church of Englaud was, that she, who was the mother of the blessed Reformation, khad not sufficiently cleansed her garments of all the polluting stains of Popery. How say the degenerate children of these men Are fhey ready to drink to thc dregs of the chalice of renewed abominations which the harlot of the seven hills is preparing for England Hear bow thc government missionary, who not loug since gulled the political Dissenters of England by declaring himself an advocate foi the voluntary system in religion, exults, actually revels, in the anticipation ot the near approach of the Papal raillenium, when Euglaud, the great bulwark ot the Protestant cause in Km ope, will once more sink, with all her glorious Protestant institutions, beneath the overwhelming waves of that inundation of papal superstition and Italian depravity which, w.th the eye of a truly prophetic Daniel, he sees approaching our heretic shores nay, already filling our vallies, and about to rise to our mouu-lain-topfi. IfijH Look at England (says the ci-devant advocate of Dissenting voluntaryism), and compare what she was 20 years ago, in point of Catholicity, with wlut she is at present. Everywhere Catholic churcbesare rising round us Catholic flocks are crowding into those places of worship schools, con-vents, and colleges are multiplying converts are multitu-diuouiJy thronging those edifices aud the ancient worship iu that pomp and splendour (the simplicity of the voluntary system again!) which gratifies thc eye and delights the heart, is offered up to (tod with a diguity and reveience worthy, as far as human means can possibly be worthy, of the worship of the Almighty God of heaveu and earth. Look to Scotland, and si milar scenes will crowd upon the eye.

The increase of Catholics in Scotland is still more striking than even in England." To support the ancient worship in all its pomp aud splendour we foresee that the Protectant Dissenters will not fail to be very liberally taxed. This does not look very like an abolition of church-rates an insignificant tax, indeed, compaied with the imposts which the Romish Pontiff levied in England before tin- Reformation. QBb As to the increase of Catholics iu England and Scotland, let us say one word. We should be sincerely glad to find that "Catholics," in the true sense of the Word, were increasing eveiy where. The prosperity of the Church Catholic is inconsistent with the progress of the Romish Church.

Therefore we do not give Romanists or Papists the name of Catholic But their missionaries very craftily appropriate that name, excluding all Protestants, tmth Churchmen and Dissenters, from the truly Christian designation. They regard all as heretics, alike in a reprobate state, aud doomed to everlasting perdition. O'Connell's oratorical exaggerations we pass over. There is no doubt that with the Whig government inflicting their heavy blows and great discouiagemeut on Protestantism," and with the Queen's Court most obriougly in favour of the votaries of the Romish superstition, Popery is makine some advances in thiB country, greatly to the discredit of the age of intellect," though it is uot yet matching on 'fitt until tne arrival oi Uiptam It 18 a rum tKnt f.imi- I. .1.

There is enough doing in that way, however, to awaken and rouse into action tin-energies of the Protestant lion of Kngland, unless its sleep has already been enfolded in the death embrace of (he Romish serpent. But as to O'Connell's historical discoveriei he has found out, Bomehow or other, that Christianity was introduced into England, and Englishmen were converted to that Divine reltgiuu by St. Austin, who arrived at thc Isle of Thanet about the year 596. He was sent to this country by the then St.

Gregory the Great. The faith which he planted in Englaud was that which the Catholics profess at this day. He celebrated the mass, invoked the saints, he prayed for the deal, he brought with him relics of dead saints, he administeied the seven sacraments of the Catholic church and, in short, he was in everything a Catholic, jmt as we are at the present period." So then, Protestant Dirsenters, it is time to prepare yourselves to attend the celebration of tho mass, (the ancient worship in all its pomp and splendour). Be ready to invoke thc saiata, to pray for the dead, to kiss and hug old bones of canonised sinners, to take the seven sacraments, not omitting extreme unction, without which you can have no passports from purgatorial fires to a 4 better place." AH things, and more, arc to come again, and come soon, or i am rorceu to resnrt to the only means now left in my power, of recording my abhorrence and detestation of the treatment which ray sister has lately sustained, by addressing myself to you, as the organ through whom all things are not carried ou at CourL I will begin by stating that I is would contrive to we her. Believe me, dear Hastings, most truly yours, Tavistock.

I shall not tell Lady Tavistock diat I have heard from you till I receive your answer to this." THE MARUUIS OF TAVISTOCK TO THE MARUUIS OF HASTINGS. Oakley, March 7, 1839. My dear Hastings, Since I wrote lo you yesterday I have had seme conversation with Lady Tavistock on this nnfortuuate subject, without saying that I had heard from yon. I find that the case, so far as she was concerned, lies la a nutshell i therefore, I may as well elate it to you at once. When she went to Buckingham Palace, just before the meeting of parliament, to attend the Queen the theatres and the House of Lords, she was informed of the opinion that had uuhappily been entertained with respect to your sister's state ot health, and was requested to name it to Lord Melbourne, at tbe proper person to advise upon it.

Her first impulse was lo mention it herself to Lady Flora, as the more direct and friendly course, conscious that the opinion in question was altogether erroneous, or that she must liave been married dandestincly. This feeling was overruled, however, by consideration which 1 need not detail to you. She accordingly told Loid Melbourne just what I have repeated to Ion, stating to him also her first intention of speaking to Flora. I did not ask Lady Tavistock, nor did she tell me (for she is one of the most discreet of ladies), from whom she had received her information, nor do I think she would teel just ified in doiug so under any circumstances. Of course she must take the responsibility of having named the subject to Lord Melbourne, ftnd to Lord Melbourne mdti.

She considered it the best course to be adopted, announced that the ascent would certainly take place, An immense number of persons crowded round the exterior of the wall, and there was a decent sprinkling inside. In consequence of the deficiency of gas manufactured, we believe, by Mr. Brown's directions, for the puqiose it was clear that the balloon had uot a sufficient ascending power for its purpose, and therefore it was announced that tho ascent must necessarily be delayed until the following day, and cheeks for re-admission were distributed to those who applied for them. This, however, did not satisfy tho non-payers outside, who (as usual) were much exasperated at their disappointment, and vented it rather freely in showers of stones, which tliey tltrew over the wall Into the ground, with tho obvious Intentions of destroying the balloon. Fear retract nothing of what I said your presence, ana tint there may be no mistake, now or hereafter, should this matter become known (in which case I will publish every thing, having it in writing) aud I am certain tbs more it is known the better mv noot sister's conduct will appear, and orrwge was much brokvn.

At thc same time, he stopped the issue of the tou Vr i hiuiBelf, jdnnged nt 1 The -7," cre of the stiim, 1 u. else Daniel is no prophet.

Soon after this she left Londvn with and has since been informed, much to her ioy and re even St. 1'aui, the Apostle of tne Uentues, if any reliance can I be placed on tradition, was its first preacher.
