From the Spectator. MAYNOOTH: A VOICE FROM THE PAST. THE Protestant Gathering, in the course of their church-militant agitation, have concocted a circular in support of 66 our common Protestantism," which bears the respectable signature of their chairman, Sir Culling Eardley Smith, and has been freely addressed in all directions. Unluckily, as it turns out, one of these letters-missive was sent to the Very Reverend Heneage Horsley, the son of that Bishop Horsley whose "mighty spear," ," in the words of Gibbon, "has repeatedly pierced the Socinian shield of Priestley ;" whose labors in the cause of biblical literature show that to zeal he united knowledge, (which is not always the case ;) and whose Toryism, or rather whose resistance to unconstitutional change in church or state, is well known. A short residence in Ireland, added to other opportunities has convinced Mr. Heneage Horsley that "there are but two ways by which the Irish church can be preserved: the one is, by acts of conciliation, similar to the one now pending in Parliament; the other, by holding Ireland as a conquered province; to accomplish which, it will be necessary to maintain constantly within her borders a standing army of not less than 60,000 men." Mr. Horsley, therefore, could not go along with the views of the exclusive Protestants of Exeter Hall and the Crown and Anchor; and having, a year or two ago, before this Maynooth extension was thought of, explained his opinion to the Archbishop of Dublin, he did not feel inclined to submit to the imputation of a want of Protestant principle, which the Crown and Anchor circular imputes to those who refuse to admit the infallibility of the self-elected holinesses. Instead, however, of putting forward his own arguments, Mr. Horsley, in a short pamphlet before us, falls back upon his father; and shows, by extracts from his speeches in the house of lords, from 1791 to his death, that, fifty years ago, Bishop Horsley was prepared to advance further than Sir Robert Peel is even now-that, besides advocating the abolition of the penal laws to the extent of Catholic emancipation, he was really prepared to recognize the Pope, and pay the Romish clergy. These extracts are interesting for their vigorous and manly style; but still more curious for their suggestions. How slow is the progress of opinion and "the march of mind!" Half a century ago, all the great political leaders of every party-Pitt, Fox, Burke, Grenville-were anxious to concede Catholic emancipation, to endow the priests, (if paying them is endowment,) and to open up diplomatic relations with Rome; whilst one of the most eminent prelates and stoutest champions of the established church was willing to march with them pari passu. Now, a miserable addition of 17,0001. a year is denounced destructive," and "damnable," and certain to draw down the direct vengeance of Heaven upon the whole country by those who take upon themselves to suppose that such a Protestant monarch as George the Third would ever have permitted the orginal establishment of Maynooth, could the most lynxeyed bigotry, in a state of reason, have detected Romanism in it: and with respect to amount, a large addition might be claimed as a mere matter of bargain, from the increase in prices, the more expensive, the genteeler style of living among the middle classes, and, greater than all, the effect which our improved and improving modes of locomotion have had in equalizing prices between the capital and the provinces. All things considered, it is probable that 1,000l. a year, in Ireland in the last century, was equal in real value to at least 2,000l. now. There is more of Bishop Horsley than of his son in this letter to Sir Culling; the writer's own arguments are chiefly incidental or subordinate. Two points, however, are so well put-the talk about the uselessness of "conciliation," and the fact of the state of Maynooth (denied by some Protestant orator)—that we will quote them for the benefit of Sir Robert Inglis and the rest, who will come up on Monday like giants refreshed to oppose the third reading. "I have heard it frequently asked, in the course of my last visits, and more than once in the four days I have now been here [in Dublin]—what is the use of conciliation? what benefit is to be expected from it? what good has it as yet effected? CONCILIATION, Sir! why, this is surely mockery. Does anything which the British parliament has as yet done to improve the condition of the Roman Catholics in Ireland, when the manner of the doing of it, and the delay in the doing of it, are taken into consideration, deserve the name? The old adage, Bis dat qui cito dat,' is in no instance of greater force and verity than when applied to cases of legislative grace and favor. When conferred promptly, cheerfully, and freely, they do win the hearts and affections of those on whom they are conferred; but when wrung from an unwilling senate by fear and apprehension, they are totally valueless. Where, in the name of all that is equitable and just, has been the 'cito,' in the alleviatory dealings of England with Ireland? "I remember well the period of the union. I was then at an age when the discussion of such topics of exciting interest by men of powerful minds, as those topics were that were connected leave a lasting impression on with that measure, the mind. It was my good fortune frequently to hear such discussions, at the table of my father, of Lord Thurlow, of Mr. Windham, of Sir John Cox Hippesley. On all these occasions, and on several others of a similar kind, I heard it averred again and again, that one of the most powerful inducements employed to reconcile the Irish people to the union, was an explicit promise given by the then rulers of the country, that emancipation, or in other words the repeal of the penal laws, Was a delay of nineshould follow 'hard upon.'

In boyhood his tenderness of disposition had been so remarkable, that his old schoolmistress could not afterwards believe that Hill was conspicuous in the bloody battles of which the newspapers were full and the same kindliness of feeling attended him through life, except when professional duty interfered. His domestic affections were strong, and equally permanent: the same may be said of the simplicity of his tastes. During the most bustling period of the THE late Commander of the Forces was rather a Peninsular war, and in the height of his greatness good lieutenant than a great captain. His orderly as commander-in-chief, his letters to his family are habits and his kindness of heart made him an full of home affections, and home reminiscences of excellent administrator; for his influence extended dogs, plants, field-sports, and neighbors. The not merely to material but to moral results. His love of gardening and rural improvements stuck to military skill, his courage, and experience, ren-him to the last; and a short time before his death, dered him a successful subordinate, as his prudence in his last letter, he is full of a pond he appears to made him a safe commander: nor was he devoid have been draining. of daring conception and "warlike wiles" in secondary affairs. But he was too merely a soldier ever to have been a great chief; who must have a large portion of the statesman in his capacity, to plan his campaigns with a view to ultimate effects, to render his victories resultful, and his defeats only a pro tanto loss, not entire destruction. As far as fighting goes, mere soldiers may often fight battles not less skilful, and much bloodier, than the Marlboroughs, Bonapartes, or Wellingtons; but the "be-all and end-all" is so many killed, wounded, and missing. The operations do not, like Blenheim or Ramilies, Marengo or Montenotte and its suite, the passage of the Douro or Torres Vedras, (without fighting at all,) clear a country of the enemy. Lord Hill wanted this larger power; for although it may be said that he had no opportunity of displaying his qualities as a commander, it is tolerably certain that he could not seize them when working out before his eyes. It seems clear from his letters when he was with the army in the Peninsula, that he had not a glimpse of the strategy of his chief, but thought that the occupation of Portugal was dependent on what a day might bring forth. In justice, however, to this worthy English gentleman, it should be said that he made no pretensions to be chief or politician, but had the good sense to refuse office in either capacity. In 1827, the command of the Forces in India was offered him, but declined, partly on account of his health. He was twice offered the Ordnance and the last time he gave his reasons for refusing the Mastership, in a letter to the premier, Lord Goderich. The family of the Hills, though unennobled, was old and respectable-one of that " Old English gentleman" class which is perhaps peculiar to England, and has strongly operated upon the national mind. This, in fact, was the character of the general himself; and, according to one of his officers, his appearance greatly influenced the rustic recruits, he looked so much like a country gentleman in regimentals; whilst serious soldiers from the towns looked up to him for his relationship to the Reverend Rowland Hill-whose fame, good man, is dying away. His mind was as much affected by his real status as his appearance. He had none of the genius of the adventurer, and none of his vices, or pretence, or littleness. A dutiful loyalty to the crown was an impulse of his nature; but beyond this, he seems to have looked upon life with a philosophic eye-weighing wealth, rank, and fashion, as extrinsic circumstances, and taking his own advancement very quietly, as something that came to him in return for services, and to which he was entitled, but not as a thing that had changed him. Nor, in truth, did it seem to have enlarged his comprehension: his range might expand with his elevation, but his style of considering things was much the same. There is nothing very striking in the life of Lord Hill beyond what is known from the Gazette. He was born in 1772; and having chosen the army for his profession, was sent to a military academy at Strasburg. He was appointed to an ensigncy in March, 1791; and in 1800 had attained the rank of colonel, through luck, interest, and strict attention to his duties, conjoined with "My feelings of gratitude," he said, "for so his services at Toulon.

If I had received such health in August, 1843; and died in the following an application, I would have told him what I have December. told others, that the subject was too serious to be trifled with; for that if any real authenticated history of that war by an author worthy of writing it were given, it ought to convey to the public the real truth, and ought to show what nations really did when they put themselves in the situation the Spanish and Portuguese nations had placed themselves; and that I would give information and materials to no author who would not undertake to write upon that principle. I think, however, that the period of the war is too near; and the character and reputation of nations, as well as individuals, are too much involved in the description of these questions for me to recommend, or even encourage, any author to write such a history as some, I [fear,] would encourage at the present moment. The volume which gives the narrative of Lord Hill's life is not so overdone as many late biographies; but it is not a very striking or skilful production being impeded by reflections, and interrupted by needless remarks upon the original materials the author is using. We suspect the hero had better have been allowed to tell more of his own story, by means of his correspondence, and the journal or memorandums of his life that he was in the habit of keeping, and which are used by bits in the volume before us. The true function in Lord Hill's case was an arranging editor rather than a compiling biographer: for the real value of the work consists in its anecdotes and letters, which require little more than telling or explaining. Many of these are interesting from their domestic character, or from the persons and events to which they relate. We will take our extracts from the latter class. The following letter from the Duke of Wellington exhibits the duke's way of offering a loan, Hill's father having got involved in difficulties. The offer is handsome, liberal, and business-like; settled at once, without any necessity for further discussion. "Paris, 20th Feb., 1816. "My dear Hill-I received only yesterday evening your letter of the 16th; and I am very much concerned for the unfortunate circumstances which have occasioned the necessity for your return to England. I consent to it, as well as to that of Sir Noel. Let him apply through the official channel; but he need not wait for the an swer. "In the existing state of public and private credit in England, I am apprehensive that you will find it difficult to procure the money which you will require. I have a large sum of money which is entirely at my command; and I assure you that I could not apply it in a manner more satisfactory to me than in accommodating you, my dear Hill, to whom I am under so many obligations, and your father, for whom I entertain the highest respect, although I am not acquainted with him. I trust, therefore, that if you should experience the difficulty which I expect you will in finding money to settle the disagreeable concern in which your family is involved, you will let me know it, and I will immediately put my man of business in London in communication with yours, in order to apply it to you. Ever yours most sincerely, "WELLINGTON." There is another letter in reply to one from Hill, who had had an application from some common friend for papers for Southey's history of the Peninsular war. The duke had observed the laureate's leaning to the Spanish patriots; who were such objects of admiration thirty or forty years ago to those who knew nothing about them. It also conveys his idea of what a true history ought to be. "London, 25th October, 1821. "My dear Hill-I have received your letter; and sincerely congratulate you upon the success of your nephew, [in his election,] and this fresh instance of the deserved respect in which you and your family are held in the county of Salop. "In respect to Mr. Southey, I have heard in the whole that he was writing a history of the war in the Peninsula; but I have never received an application from him, either directly or indirectly, for "This is my opinion upon the subject in gen- "Believe me, ever yours most sincerely, From some passages in the volume it would seem that William the Fourth stuck closer by the reform bill than some at the time supposed him to have done, and took upon himself a canvass which rather belonged to the premier, one would think. "The position of affairs at the period of the reform bill greatly tried him. No slight honor is due to his memory from his own political party, for the way in which he maintained his independence in office at that time. Not only did he remain firm under the difficulties of being opposed to the government, but he was unmoved by the intimation of the king himself, his kind and indulgent master, that his majesty wished him to vote for the bill. Sir H. T.,' he says in his memoranda, 'communicated to me H. M.'s wish that I should vote for the second reading of the reform bill. I gave no reply; but said I would consider the subject.' "When the bill was again brought forward in the house of lords, the following conversation took place between his majesty and Lord Hill. I give it from his lordship's own notes. 'The king sent me a note desiring my attendance at the palace. His majesty, after speaking on the subject of the college, said, the discussion on the reform bill was about to be again brought forward in the house of lords; and that he could not but wish that it should go into committee, which would show the country that the lords were not averse to some reform, and might make alterations when in committee. In consequence of what Sir H. Taylor said to me on this subject about a fortnight ago, and from the manner in which the king spoke to me, I felt that he expected me to state my sentiments and intentions. I therefore told his majesty, that on the last occasion I had acted in a way which I understood was satisfactory to him, namely, by not voting at all; that I still entertained the same objection to the bill; and that, according to Here is another occasion of Hill's opposing royalty. my present feelings, I could not vote for the the enemy aimed was now evident; it was an second reading of the bill when it was brought angle formed by a brigade of guards and the light forward again.

The French moved on with if I were to act contrary to them and to my known arms sloped, au pas de charge. They began to declarations, I should so lower myself in the eyes ascend the hill.

The king very kindly said, it was my duty to point out to him all objections on the present occasion he would not press the question." Lord Hill went directly to the officer alluded to, related the whole affair, and added, "I assure you it was all my doing." : WHO WAS THIS? should be MAYORAL MISTAKE. : His good-humored way of taking everything will be seen in a note he sent to the lord mayor and lady mayoress, on their inviting Lord and Lady Hill to a banquet at the mansion-house-"Lord Hill presents his compliments to the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, and begs to acquaint them that as he has not the good fortune to be married, he cannot have the honor of presenting Lady Hill at the mansion-house on Thursday the 20th inst. Horse Guards, 15th January, 1831." THE NIGHT AFTER WATERLOO. When the tremendous day was over, Lord Hill and his staff again reöccupied the little cottage they left in the morning. His two gallant brothers, Sir Robert Hill and Colonel Clement Hill, had been removed wounded to Brussels: the party was, nevertheless, nine in number. A soup made by Lord Hill's servant from two fowls was all their refreshment, after hours of desperate fighting without a morsel of food. Lord Hill himself was bruised and full of pain. All night long, the groans and shrieks of sufferers were the chief sounds that met their ears. It was, to them all a night of the greatest misery. The men whom the nations of Europe were about to welcome with acclamations, and to entertain in palaces, could only exchange sigh for sigh with each other in a wretched cottage. EXACT TIME. In reading the various accounts of this battle, it is curious to observe the discrepancies as to the Waterloo is a well-worn subject, yet always time it commenced. Lord Hill has, however, fresh. The following extract from a memorandum settled this point.

The result of the fire upon the French column is painted more naturally, as working by " wit, not by witchcraft." "Can you tell me," said Lord Teignmouth, "at what time the action commenced?" Lord Hill replied, "I took two watches into action with me. On consulting my stop-watch after the battle was over, I found that the first gun was fired at ten minutes before twelve." "About six o'clock we saw heavy columns of infantry supported by dragoons returning for a fresh attack.

Nor was this sovereignty of a local nature, originating in the ignorance and docility of any particular race, and established by the wisdom and wherever the supremacy of law was established, cunning of any individual tyrant. It existed and was indeed a spurious theocracy, in which the priest and the king appeared as the vicegerents of Heaven, displaying as their credentials a series of miracles and prodigies which deceived the senses and overawed the judgment of the vulgar. In this manner did the rod of the conjurer become the sceptre of the king, and the facts and deductions of science his statute-book; and thus did man, the creature of hope and fear, believe, and tremble, and obey. There are, however, other causes which may account for the indifference with which this work has been received. More familiar with literary than with scientific inquiries, M.
