such universal esteem and confidence with an insidious and tyrannical exaction.

It gives me much pleasure to coincide with Mr. Curwen in the idea of the Catholic chapels being kept in repair at the expense of Government; nay, I would rejoice in their extending this act of generosity to the erection of appropriate places of worship for the multitude. Within the last thirty years, handsome chapels have been built throughout the kingdom by subscription. I mention this circumstance with the more pleasure, as it affords an additional proof of that liberality which distinguishes the present times,-the ground having in general been granted by the land proprietors, and large sums subscribed by the clergy and laity of the established church.

It is not my purpose to discuss the advantages or disadvantages likely to accrue to the Catholic church, by its being made a government establishment. But I believe there exists among the general mass of the Irish Catholics, a scrupulous jealousy of the interference of the English government in any thing that concerns their church or priesthood; and I am convinced, that, though it costs them a hard struggle to meet the demands of landlord, tax-gatherer, tithe-proctor, priests, &c. the pride of preserving the independence of their church is sufficiently strong to make them endure any privation, rather than suffer their priesthood to become the pensioners of another religious community.
