But it is now too late to quarrel with our designation; our space, too, is limited, and we must turn to a more pleasing topic, which it would ill become us to neglect. We cannot omit this opportunity of expressing our deep sense of obligation to the newspaper press of the empire, without distinction of polities or party, for the tone and temper of their criticisms. Severally to express our gratitude to each British journal would be impossible, and to particularize any would be invidious. In Ireland our national undertaking has been kindly looked on, even by those whom we have most uncompromisingly opposed. To the leading Protestant journals of Ireland we are deeply indebted. The Evening Mail, a journal which stands triumphantly where it ought to be, at the head of the Irish press, and its honest and excellent ally the Warder, have placed us under repeated obligations; while the provincial Protestant press has, almost with one voice, expressed an opinion of our periodical of which we cannot but feel proud. Support, however, from these journals our principles give us in some degree a right to expect: but even by the radical papers we are received, if not in a spirit of love, yet certainly not of hostility. The criticisms of the Evening Post and the Freeman's Journal have been anything but unkind. To the latter paper in particular we are indebted for comments, in which, mingled with what we must consider intemperate abuse of our politics, there has ever been a full disposition to appreciate whatever literary merits we may possess. We confess that we feel peculiar pleasure in witnessing a spirit such as this; it proves to us that party spirit has not yet pressed into its service every feeling of Irishmen; it could almost revive the dream that once filled our minds in our younger and more enthusiastic days a dream that all party distinctions might one day be obliterated, and all Irishmen unite together in the bonds of fraternity and peace. But we must have done-we must turn from these fond imaginations to the stern duties which belong to our occupation-duties, the labours and the cares of which are not altogether unrelieved by the sweet consciousness up our We that they are effectual. We took pen to say many things-we must lay it down when we have said but a few. Like a traveller who has paused on his way for a few moments' rest and conversation, we have been communing with our friends and readers, and we now again address ourselves to the road. We do so with the feeling that our path is one along which our prospects are brightening at every step. have toiled up many a rough and arduous steep; we can now look back upon our difficulties as past. We certainly are proud of having at last ESTABLISHED an Irish periodical. It has cost us much of labour and of harassing anxiety; but we are more than repaid in our success. We need hardly say that we shall equally exert our energies to retain the confidence and the favor with which we have been honored; and perhaps the exertion may not be the less efficient, as a rapidly increasing circulation is placing increased resources at our disposal. We have struggled in the days of difficulty and danger; we will not relax our efforts in the days which we may call those of our prosperity. Our most anxious desire is, that whatever influence or power may attend upon our success, we may feel to be a sacred trust, and that in the solemnity of that feeling we may honestly employ them in support of those political and religious principles, by an adherence to which we have risen. It is time, however, that we should release our readers from a colloquy which probably they have found tedious. We could not present them with the completion of our sixth volume without indulging in a few words of self gratulation; and we shall now take our leave of them for this year, wishing them many happy returns of the merry season of Christmas, at least a season which was once merry in the good old days, and which, in spite of Whigs and Radicals, will be merry yet once more. Let every honest Briton in the land cheer up his heart; and as he takes his Christmas glass, let his sentiment be, that he and we may both survive the reign of Whiggery, and live to keep a truly "merry Christmas" in honester and better times. To the Cork Evening Herald,' the Londonderry Sentinel,' the Belfast Guardian,' the Belfast News-Letter,' the Cork Constitution,' the Newry TeleKilkenny Moderator,' we beg to return our sincerest thanks. raph,' and the UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.
