Now. we come to that brace of brothers, the _New_ and _Old Times_. Perfectly silent both! Not a single word upon the subject,—not a single allusion to it, though the Old one has actually put forth this day two papers, which it _sells for one_, in pursuance of those desperate efforts which it is making to sustain itself. It has two papers, measuring nearly two feet square, containing 16 square feet of print, one and a half square foot of which consists of an advertisement of the Irish Subscription. In the whole of this 16 feet of square print, room was not to be found for the insertion of one single word about the Bishop and the Soldier! not a single allusion. Nothing that could let its readers suppose that such a thing had taken place. The _cause_ of this need not be stated to our readers: they will all see the cause at once; and they will all despise the man that they shall in future see with one of these papers in his hand.
We could here, if we had time, refer to the statement of Dr. O’Meara, or rather to what the Times has said about the bribe of £3000, the evidence of which Buonaparte found amongst the papers of the run-away Bourbon. We must leave that to be noticed another time; and in the mean time request our readers to pay attention to the facts which we have now stated, never forgetting the sentences on JOSEPH SWAN, Mr. CARLILE, his wife and sister. We have said before and we repeat it, that the THING is now fairly on its trail. In former cases, there may have been doubts and difficulties in the way; there may have been that which blinded and deluded honest and well-meaning people; but here the matter lies in a nut-shell. Here the question is too plain to admit of being obscured and too monstrous to admit of palliation. The time cannot be distant when the decision shall take place; and in the mean time we beseech our readers to keep watch; to look at the conduct of all these papers, to contrast that conduct with that which they shewed in the case of the Vere-street gang, to compare their present conduct; their present silence with the unsparing, but just and laudable abhorrence which they then expressed: our readers are requested to make this comparison, at the same time that they make a comparison between the rank and riches of the party now offending, and the obscurity and comparative poverty of the parties then offending. They are requested to do this, and we are sure they will exclaim with us, that this “respectable part of the press” is surely the most infamous thing that ever existed in any country in the world.
