Mr. D. O'Conncll wished to ask the First Lord ofthe Admiralty whether Catholics serving in the BlackSea f leet, or "in the Baltic, or oa board any of herMajesty 's ships at present in commission , were com-pallcd to attend Protestant divine service when read01 board , either by a chap lain , naval instructor , orother officer ; and , if such were the case, whetherthe practice of compelling them would ho allowed tocontinue , when Catholic soldiers are not in ,-MIV casecompelled to attend Protestant service ; whether theAdmiralty would consider of allowing Catholics onsuch occasions to assemble on the forecastle , apartfrom tho rest of the ship's company, under charge ofn warrant or petty officer of their own co.nmnnion.

Sir J AMES G RAHAM said , that according to Act ofParliament it was necessary that the service shouldbe according to the ritual of the Church of iv:i;;land ,and he could not disturb the existing law , but hemight say that he was in communication with someof the heads of the Roman Catholic Church on thesubject.

Graham) was prepared lo main-tain, was in all respects correct.

Mr. Sms&Y H ERDER ?, in answer to a question byMr. Digby Seymour, relative to a statement of thecorrespondent of the Times, as regards the provisionsmade for the reception of the British troops at Galli-poli, asserted, on evidence which he read to the house,that no want of care had been displayed , and thatthere was no renson to believe that the oliiccrs of thecommissariat had neglected their duty.

Lord J. KUSSF.I.L stated papsrs would b? laid beforethe house shortl y on the subject of the Greek insur-rection ; and aUo that all the information govern-ment had received from various quarters showed thatinsurrection had been directl y fomented by the Greekgovernment.

Lord J. KU SSF.I.L observed that , with regard tothe luggage of Sir II. Seymour , there had been noseizure or confiscation , but certain valuable efl'ectsbelonging to that gentleman had b'.cn prevented frombeing placed on board the vessel which Sir H. Sey-mour's agent had indicated.

Tax bill,Tkc Marquis of CLANRICAIIDB stated that it was

not his intention to interfere by oppositiontn the passing of the bill. If at the firs t momen twhen war was threatened they were called upon todouble the income tax, he thought it might be fairlyargued that the government depended for the wholeof the finances necessary for the war upon directtaxation , the whole of the scheme for the taxationfor the income tax fell to the ground.

The discussion was then adjourned, and the housebroke up at six o'clock.

^foreign IctosBOMBARDM ENT OF ODESSA.

The Times of Tuesday publishes Ili a followingfrom their Vienna correspondent , who says that itis the " Russian account " of the bombardment ofOdessa :—

11 The English and French Admirals demandedthe surrender of the Russian ship3 in the poit otOdessa. Tli 's being refused , the bombr.nli.ientbegan from IS ships. A small part of tha city wasdestroyed. An attempt to land 1,800 men failed.Three steamers are said to be much damaged."

A private telegraphic despatch received fromOdessa by an rmi'ntmt Greek firm , and dated the26th nit., states that the whol e combined fleet took itsdeparture on the morning of that day.

The Mouilettr of Tuesday, publishes the following :" On the IKiid Odessa was bombarded by seven

vessels of the combined fleets. The canonade badlasted ten hour?, mid continual when the courier left.One of the Rus:hn batteries has been completel ydestroyed , and several Russian vessels in the har-bour were also destroyed. "

Another account says—" On the 22nd ult . theiillicd fleets made a partial bombardment of thattown , but without doing much damage, althoughsundry buildings were set on fire. On the 23rd hos-tilities were suspended , and a summons was sent tothe place to surrender. In the event of a refusal ,the admirals threatened to destroy the town on thefollowing day, the 21th. It is added that the Rus-sian fleet had sailed out of Scbastapol, and advancedagainst the allied fleet , eith-r with the hopo of draw-ing the latter away from Odessa , or of getting it be-tween two fires, but that on a portion of the Britishnavy showing battle , the Russian squadron hadhastily retreated to its stronghold."

The Monilnir states that after the evacuation ofLittle AVallachin , by the Russians, the Turks hadinarched on Krajova for the purpose of at once oc-cupy ing it.

(FROM THE TIMES .)V.'e receive the intelligence of the bombardment of

Odessa with feelings which are not unmixed withregret. It was to be expected that the first greatoperation of war in which the combined fleets nowiii the Black Sea were engaged would inflict a severeblow on the enemy, and would prove with that over-whelming fore th'e naval armaments of England andFrance were provided. We shal l, doubtless , learnthat the measures taken by the fleets under the com-mand of Admiral Haineiin and Admiral Dundas,were of the most effective character; but we must boallowed , without the slightest disparagement to thegallantry of these officers or of the magnificent fleetsunder their orders, to feel some regret that the lirslblow in the war should have fallen upon a commer-cial city, rather than a military or naval port. Weare satisfied, however, that the Russian authoritiesin Odessa are tc blam.e for having drawn down thisterrible calamity outlier: unfortunate feilow-citizens,by an outrage on a flag of truce , which is almost un-paralleled in the warfare of civilised nations.

It must be observed th at on the 6lh of April itwas scarcely possible that the declaration of war,which had been published in Loodon and Paris onthe 29th of March , should b } known at Odessa , andit was not till the Sl'i that t'ne Admirals themsclvcjwere in possession of the iacl.

But , even if war was declared , it would have beena gross act of b.-lrbarisin to fire on a boat under a flagof truce as she was leaving the quay, when she hadentered the port only to fetch away the consularagents of the belligerent powers, v/ho had an un-doubted right to leave the Russian dominions in peaceand security.

The evacuation of Little Wallachia is not onlyconfirmed but it is already known that the Turkshave advanced into the country as far as the riverSchyl without seeing an enemy. It is further knownthat on the 2 Uh the Russians commenced theirretreat from Krajova , and have broken up theirposition in that town , which was for some time thehead-quarters of Prince Gortsch.ikofT. The rightwing of the Russian army will therefore probablyrest on the river Aluta , with its head-quarters atBucharest, and the main interest of the campaign isonce more concentrated on the operations belowNicopolis, and especially between llustchuk andSilistria. Thct'e is reason to believe that the bom-bardment of this latter place was confined to the fireof some heavy guns placed by the Russians on theopposite bank of the Danube ; but the river in thatplase is 1,000 yards wide , and Silistria itself liesabout 600 yards from the right bank : so that thefire must have been directed against the place at arange of a mile , and no very important results coul dbe expected.

AMERICA.The English steamship Euw.pa arrived in Liver-

pool on Monday morning. She loft New York onthe liJtli , and brings 89 passengers, together witliG18, M0 dollars in specie on frei ght. The Arctic arri-ved at New York on the 16th ult. No news of theCity of Glasgow. A Urge ship of about 900 tonsburden wa3 ashore off Long Bench, nine miles belowBarnegat Inlet. 11 will probably become a total wreck.She is supposed to be an American. I nformationwas received at Isew York on the IStli that thepacket shi p Underwriter was stranded four milei-.south of Squatn Beach. IIorcar~o has been thrownoverboard, but she will probably be got off. It is re-ported that the Constitution and American Congresswere also ashore. For eighty miles the steamerHermann , on her last passage to Nov.' York , was obli-ged to work through the ice under sail alone. Theimmense fields she encountered rendered the use ofher paddle wheels impossible for many hours.

Seventy-five buildings , including twenty-throestores, were destroyed in Jacksonville , Florida , onthe 5th hist. The loss is estimated at 300,000 dollars.

A meeting had been held in New York composedof Irishmen , to devise means for the benefi.' of lie-land and the Irish—to form a union of all eret:d3 toliberate their country from the hands of their oppress-or, England , if within the next two years a strugg le forliberty should take place in that country—to aidthose cnp.iged in it, and if not, to send emigrants whoarrive in America, in a destitute condition , to a homein the west.

The Quebec Gazelle says that orders had v»ry re-centl y been received by the commander of the forcesto withold discharges, whether fre e or otlierwise,fi-ommen now serving in the regiments stationed in Can-ada. The same paper also says that the homegovernment do not intend to reduce the militaryforce now stationed in Canada below its presentstrength. A woollen factory is about to be establish-ed at Woodstock , C. W., by a j oint-stock company,cap ital £100,000.

-M R. FORREST, THE TRAGEDIAN,—Tlie Trenton TrueAmerican is pained to learn that Mr Edward Forrestthe American tragedian , has become a convert to thebtlieffn spiritual manifestations. This gentleman isa constant visitor upon the Foxes, and most credu-lously insists upon the correctness of the develop-trjepts pomuiuui.aled by the rappers from " t'other

(By Mat/ ni'tic Telegraph.)l 'RANT C!:.'

PA R I S , Thursday (yesterday.)An imperial decree calls into active service, on

land and afloat , 80,000 men from the 1-10,000 of theclass of 1S5.1?. It hns been stated that the FrenchK.'istern contingent will be increased to ] 00,000 men ,and that a camp will be established at Boulogne ,with a view to an exped ition to the Baltic if required.

It was reported in Pirn's yesterday lliat the Ban) ;of France intended immediatel y to raise the rate ofdiscount to 51 per cent.

The Bourse was heavy yesterday. The 3 perCents closed at G4f. 2c. ; and the <U per cents at90J". 50c. for the end of the month.

French troops have not yet fivrived at Constanti-nople. It was reported here yesterday that Austriantroops would enter Little Wallachin.

A Bucharest despatch of April 25, states that Silis-Lria was still in the possession of the Turks.

A great attack on that place was contemplated.PROGRESS 01- THE WAR.

TJie Times, while enabled to vouch for the accura-cy of the report of the defeat alleged to have beensustained by the Russians on the 18th or 19th ofApril , states that several collateral circumstancestend to strengthen its belief in that statement. IfOmev Pacha really succeeded in turning the Rus-sians' position , and ho was enabled to oppose'GeneralLuders by an army of superior strength , the Russianforces ought to be either compelled to surrender orto be annihilated. The danger of the Russians gen-erall y will be enormousl y increased. If, as the tel-egraphic despatches inform us, the combined fleetshave bombarded the forts which protect the mouthof the Danube,, and are, as we trust , prepared toforce a passage, nnd maintain a command over t!ielower portion of the river, the English nnd Frenchtroops, which had reached Constantinop le beforethe ICth April , are at a distance of little more thantwenty-four hours " sailing from the scene of opera-tions. Varna is only 1-15 miles from the Bosphorus,and the fleet will enable our forces to act upon thecoasts as may seem expedient. It is evident thntthe Russians .-ire making preparations, on a grandscale , for the passage of their main body, or centreof the army, between Nicopoli and Silistri.i.

AUSTRIA AND THE WESTERN POWERS.The Times says—" We learn xvith great pleasure

thnt nothing can be more straightforward and satis-factory than their communications. Proofs will bogiven by Austria of her resolution to support, the inde-pendence of Turkey, and to j oin in the policy of theWestern Powers."

THE WAR.VIENNA , W EDNESDAY M O R N I N G .—The following

report circulates in .Bucharest :—Omer Pucha ad-vanced with 70,000 men towards the Dodrud.scha onthe 18th or 19th of A pril , and a battle took placewith Luders' corps between Sih'stria and Rosaova.

During the night Omar Pacha had detached a di-vision in the direction of the Black Sea, and whenthe battle was at its height the next day this corpsattacked the Russians in the rear, causing unexam-pled confusion and consternation.

General Luders retreated towards Czernavoda,Mid it is said that the Russians lost many guns, am-munition , stores, and baggage waggons, and ecenthei r military cheat.

On the 20th n Turkish flying corps crossed theDanube below Silistria in order to destroy the Rus-sian strand batteries. They advanced to Kalarash,where there was hard fighting for sonie hours. TheTurks fought like lions, but, being terribly over-matched, were ultimately forced to retreat.

SUPPRESSION OF PUBLIC HOUSESA large and influential meeting was held in the

Town-ball, on Tuesday evening, the M AYOR in thechair, for the purpose of petitioning the legislaturefor the suppression of the traflic in intoxicatingdrinks. Ths meeting was ably addressed by DoctorLEES, of the United Kingdom Alliance Association.The learned gentleman, in the course of a length-ened and convincing addles*, showed by argumentsand statistical statements , the debasing and ruinouseffects of drink on the social and moral condition of

the people of these countries . He demonstratedthat where tho Main-law—that is, the suppression of

licenses—was in operation in America , the jails and

poor-houses were co mparativel y empty, and the

people proportionately happy. The United King-

dom Alliance Association has, we think, hit on the

true way of killing that monster, drunkenness, which

has been , and stiii is, one of the greatest curses of

this country—that way is, the abolition of the licen-

ses ! [See resolutions in our advertising columns.]

ARTHUR NAl'OLEON'S CONCERT.On Tuesday evening this Concert was given in the

large room of Hie ToTii-Hail. The attendance -sva;both large and fishionablo . By the whole auHicn cemuch w:»s expected, and expectation was not dis-ip-pointed. Those who accompanied, the little hero of theevening did their part well , if the plauilit sof the listenerscouid be relied upon as a correct standard of judgncent.The singing of Mrs. V.'ooc'.vrar.l and Ivlisa Slioppard gaveevk'.eat c-atisf iiclion : tho latter is, wo believe , a youngdebutante. IIc» voice is sweet, and at the same timeliOKcrful , especially in the lower register ; coupled withthese qualiti es, her correct intonation , give3 fair promiseof future achievement in the art . IIr. Geary, here a»elsewhere, delighted his audience, especially in hisrendering of Irish melodies, which caused him to beloudly applauded and several times recalled. To saythat a musical performance was gootl, necessari ly be-speaks the praise of its conductor ; nnd or" Mr. O'rt orUewe will only say, that bis department exhibited tlieability displayed by those who acted with lii.n. It noivremain-i fur us to speak of that wonderful child whoformed tlio great attraction of the cveuiiu1. In ArthurNapoleon music has imleud a gifted child ; and few ofthose who hiard him on Tuesduy evening will soonforget the pleasure they experienced in listening to him.Kis performance on the piano would be deemed stir-prising in an artiste of the fullest yours ; but when weremembered that we listened only to a child , we confes*we were astounded . In rendering the most difficultpassages lie exhibited a clear, brilliant , and rapid execu-tion , such na we have seldom heard. The tone which heproduced was at tlie same time even and powerfu l ; awlwhen p.isiiii^ from one kc3f to another, he brought hislisteners with him through the mazes and laby rinths ofthe most elaborate modulations in such a way as torender the changes easy of comprehension. All this ,it may be said, might bo the result of skilful andsevere training ; but there was a feeling, a power of

conception , an oppression observable throughout all hi.-iperformance which could only be the result of an innategeuius. At the conclusion of the third piece which heplayed he was loudly encored ; — obedient to the call hepresented himself before bis audience, nnd in a sweetand siigluly foreign accent , and with all the innocence ofa child , he said , "" I will p!ay IC.-^ Polkn."

RECEPTION AT THE PRESENTATIONCONVENT, LISMORE.

• On last Thursday a most interesting and imposingceremony took place at tlie Presentation Convent ofLismore. The young lady to be received to the holyhabit was Miss Meany, sister to the Rev. P. Mcany,St. Mary 's, Clonmel , and tho Rev. Messrs. J. V.Meany and Garrett Meahy, of Blackburn , England.At twelve o'clock , the hour fixed for the ceremony,the procession of the religious was formed, and as itmoved along the choir, preceded bv a youthfulcross-bearer, dressed in white, with children bearingbaskets of flowers , it had a deli ghtful cfiect , whilethe choir sang tho hymn " O Gloriosa !"

The Rev. Dr. Fogarty officiated in surplus, stole,and cope, attended by the Rev. J. Meany. In thesnnctur.ry were the following clergymen :—Rev. M.Sprntt , P.P., Revds. Thomas and Michael Casey,Rev. P. Meany, Rev. Thomas Finn , Rev. RichardWalsh, Rev. 'P. Slattery, Rev. J. Sheehy, Rev.William Ilickey, &c, &c.

After tlie preliminary prayers prescribed by thechurch on such occasions had been said by the offi-ciating vicar, the Rev. John Crotty, of Waterford ,ascended the altar and preached one of the mosteloquent and touchingly beautiful sermons it was ourgood fortune ever to have listened to. Both Protest-ants and Catholics, who crowded the chapel to wit-ness the ceremony, were deeply afi'ected by it. Hepourtrayed the happ iness and advantages of a reli-gions life, the special graces and blessings of Godtowards her, her manifold means of sanctify ing her-self by th? accumulation of merits, and free from thedistractions and cares oi' the worl d, and from hisheart wished her joy for the choice she had made.All through the gifted preacher conveyed to thosewho hesi-d him how intimately acquainted he is him-self with the spiritual life. His appeal to the largecongregation of worldly persons was equally happyand practicall y instructive, and will long be remem-bered and felt by clergy, religious, and laity. Afterthe ceremony, Very Rev. Dr. Fogarty addressed thecongregation , and as their pastor, very energeticall ybegged of them to convey home with them , the salu-tary impressions which tho ceremony nnd sermonwere calculated to make. He dwelt forcibly, and atureat length , on the bigoted and blind fanaticism ofChambers ' ai-d Co., who Were on that very daymaking war on the most inoffensive, and at the samelime , the1 most meritorious self-aacrifmg portion ofihe community.

He very positively refuted the falsehoods of thoseenemies,of religion, who assert that nuns are im-mured in convents, by instancing the young ladythat day received , who had three brothers priests,two of whom liad come there to sanction and witnessher voluntary oblation for God's services.

The good nuns had n splendid dejeuner prepared ,and most tastefully luid out in one of their spaciousrooms, at which over fifty sat down to partak e of.

All were delighted , both with the amiable attentionof the sisterhood , and with the convent and grounds.

This convent stands one of the very first houses inthe kingdom, from its architectural beauty, its situa-tion -commanding an extensive and picturesque viewof the scenery of the Blackwater vales, backed by thegrandeur of Knoekinaldown mountains, and not theleast recommendation that the noble proprietor, theDuke of Devonshire, ha3 endowed it with the landon which it is built/or ever.— Communicated.

DEVOTIONS TO^THE MONTli' OFJ ;MARY.

The derotions in ^hihor of the Blessed Mother of

GOD were, as usual, commenced in the' Catholic

Cathedral of this city 'bn Monday evening last, the

first of May. The Rev. JOHN CROTTY preached a

most impressire and touching sermon on the occa-

sion, at tlie conclusion of which he made a beautiful

and appropriate allusion to the late Rev. Dr. COOKE,who, some yeaw since, introduced the devotions intoWaterford. At this portion of the discourse theaudience, which was unusually larg e, seemed to bemost deeply affected. After the sermon Benedictionof the Most Adorable Sacrament was given.

" HISTORY OF THE DEVOTIONS TO THE BLESSED

VIROIN ."—We have received a copy of this inva-luabl e work, containing over 300 pages, beautifullyprinted, with a superb steel engraving of the Virginand Child , and bound in the best and most modernstyle. The work is a traslation from the French ofL'Abbc Onsi.vi, by the Rev. PATRICK POWER , C.C.Carrick-on-Suir. It is a work which no Catholicfamily, however great or humble, should be without.The book reflects great credit on the learned trans-lator, who has done the subjec t every justice. Inour next we may extract from it. The work is onsale at Mrs. POWER 'S, Barronstrand-street.

CIIARIT T OF THE Brstrop .—It will bc observed bythe list of subscriptions published in our paper ofto-day, that at the meeting held in the Orphan-house on Sunday, the Right Rev. Dr. FORAN , in ad-dition to his many other benevolent acts, gave £10to that deserving institution. It is a loss to Wa-terford that the good prelate 's means are not large,for he. sets but littl e value upon the " things of thisworld." A bright example this for those ministersof the gospel who are wallowing in wealth. If thecitizens generall y but followed the example of theirbeloved bishop, the orphan charity would soon bein a prosperous condition.

I MPORTA N T DISCOVER -*. — We have received apamphlet bearing upon a subj ect of the utmost im-portance—namel y, on the cure of cancer, &c. whichup to this period has been generally pronounced bythe faculty as incurable. It will be rememberedthat this was the disease which , at our last assizes,deprived a citizen of the claim of £.3,500 whichhe had against the West of England Insurance Co.The discoverer of this inval uable remed y, it appears,altogether dispenses with the use of the knife in hisnew mode of treatment. The pamphlet before us is,moreover, replete with testimonials from personswho have been cured with ereat success.

EgjT On yesterday evening 15 young girh fromtho Carrick-on-Suir union , arrived in this city ontheir way to Canada. They were so tastefull y, yetcomfortably dressed , that very many p?rson3 whosaw them spoke largely of the attention of the guar-dians who thus provided for them. They stoppedlast night at our Michael-street auxiliary, where theyreceived the best attention from the master and ma-tron , Mr. and Mrs. Walsh. Mr. Horan , the intel-ligent and respected master of the Carrick union , inwhose care thoso females are, proceeds with themto-day, per the Penn, to Liverpool. \

THE WEATHER.The long-wished-for rain has at length arrived.

During the last few days the weather has suffered acomp lete change, which must have an excellent ef-fect on the country and a very destructive one onspeculators in food.

"• > 'New York, lAprll 17, 1854.vWhen last I wrote, to you we had here inJRewYork both sunny skies and dusty streets ; the sceneis just reversed now, for we have cloudy tkies, andstreets as sloppy as the eye can behold or the footcan tread. For the last four days it has beenshowering almost continuously, and there is notmuch appearance of its clearing up at present.

It may not be out of place to make a- few observa-tions on the manner in which the holy season ofLent has been gone through and concluded in thisthe Excelsior State of • the Union, by the Catholicportion of the commuriiyS?^?J!|HiountJng to about300,000 in this city aloneftr, h. j\ - were deliveredin each of the numerous chEL^aN\ %is city on thedogmas and doctrines of Hft5^k^5> , commencingand ending on each evening wt.ii* Devotions appro-priate to the season. In talent and sacred learningI do believe that the Catholic clergy of New Yorkcannot be excelled by any ; and I am proud to saythat the greater portion of them are noble-heartedIrishmen, whose love of fatherland is only exceededby their zeal, piety, and unceasing labours in fulfil-ling the divine mission upon which they are seut.Although our beloved and distinguished Archbishophas been absent in the South , where his health hasbeen quite restored , it would seem as if his pietyand' learning remained lurking around the nobletemples of his arch-diocese, so well does everythinggo on. He is expected back about the 1st of May.Each sacred edifice was crowded to overflowingnight after night, notwithstanding the turmoil andbiistle of this busy season. To distinguish onepastor as being more remarkable than tha others,would , indeed be a very difficult task ; however, Icannot help mentioning one whose discourses drewcrowds of highly respectable Protestants to them—namely, Dr. Forbes. This distinguished divine, sovenerabl e in years, on whose head sits the snow ofCO winters, not ver}' long since left the ProtestantEpiscopal Church , in whose ranks he had long stoodforemost fov his learning nnd virtues, and, like thatillustrious line of Oxford fathers, entered the OnaFold of the One Shepherd. Where he is now sow-ing the good seed is the very place in which he longlaboured as an Episcopal minister : conseqnently theinfluence which his lectures must have had on theminds of those formerly belonging to his flock wasvery great. It is pleasing to see the two sonsattending and serving at the holy sacrifice offeredup by the father.

As I intimated in my last, I will now make a fewobservations on the feeling existing between theProtestants and Catholics in this country. As wellas I can learn, this feeling, now so rampant in theminds of a certain portion of our Protestant fellow-citizens—but thank Heaven, a very small portion,indeed—had Ions lain dormant until the advent ofGavazzi to this country, whose diatribes and melo-dramatic onslaughts on the Pope and everythingCatholic, aroused this smouldering flame of bigotry.This miserable party receive the assistance of a stillmore miserable portion of the Protestant press ofAmerica. Among them is not to be found a manremarkable for anything admirable ; a great manyof them are sko7ieens—petty Orangemen from theNorth cf Ireland , who, if they had the power—forthey no doubt possess the will—would have the nobleconstructions of Washington , Franklin , Jackson , &c,shattered to ruins in a very short time. This partyhas assumed the soubriquet of "Know-nothings," aterm , if literall y interpreted , is very appropriate, f otcertainly they know but very little. Only a fewdays since, following perhaps the example of TomChambers, they had the audacity to petition thelegislature no enact penal laws against the Catholics,and to dismiss from the state schools all the Catholicteachers in them. The manner in which thatpetition was received must, if they have even onesing le spark of feeling, for ever silence them. In afull house of America n gentlemen—the bona f i d erepresentatives of the people—there could no be onefound to second it; and , indeed , the dupe who con-sented to propose it must be either a madman or afool to think of the like.

In fact, in my opinion , the conduct of Mr. Marcy,secretary of state , in not at once receiving hisExcellency Mons. Bedini, as Ambassador fromRome, tended to heighten this feeling. Mr. Marcynever committed an act in his life for which he willbe so sony as that, because, in consequence of it, hewill never be elected President—a position to whichhe is anxiously looking.

It is not true, as far as I can learn, that Catholicservants are asked to eat meat on Fridays, as statedby your Boston correspondent some time since,unless it be their free will and choice ; on the con-trary, I hava heard many instances in whichCatholic female servants, of whom there cannot beless than 100,000 in the cities of New Y ork, Brook-lyn, and New Jersey, have been specially rewardedby Protestant mistresses for their fidelity to theirreligious duties , because, as they said, it was aguarantee of their faithfulness in the performance oftheir domestic duties. D.Q.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE WATERFOR D NEWSANOTHER SAlh IN THE COFFIN. ' .

£$R—One link more, and that not the light e»t, has beenadded to the chaiu of events connected with the \Yorkhou39School. The National Board of Education has now, by itsapproval of the Inspector's conduct, identified itself withbis proceedings.

The public may not have forgotten, th.it the-followingfacts came out before nn enquiry of the school com-mittee of last year : "That tha Inspector advised thaSchool master, as a friend , to have nothing to do withreligious instruction ; that the Schoolmaster declined totake the advice ; that the Inspector soon commenced tomake groundless charges against the Mas ter, some of whichwere proved to be fabrications."

The Board of Guardians then called on the NationalBoard to dismiss the Inspector as being unworthy ofholding his situation, and, after a long ditlay of somemonth*, another Inspector was sent d 'Wn to inquire intothe frets. This enquiry was a mere, sham, or rstber tscreen to hide the conduct of his brother Inspector. •

The National Board came to no decision until after afurther delay of more than two months, hoping, perhaps,to escape with lesi' damage from a new Board of Gu»r-dians. And now they can see nothing t) disapprore ofin Mr. Graham's conduct as inspector. So it haacome tothis : - ¦ '

_ The Nat ional Board of Education sanctions the suppres-sion of religious instruction by its Inspector. I aaT»proved this before and I prore it now again, by tbe ftotthat the Inspector awarded gratuities to a former Sohool- -master, who hardly, if ever, taught Catechism, and wbo did'not cause either private or public prayers to be s»idtr/the boys. But it may be objected that the gratuity WU .-awarded to the teacher for his attention tosecular.instroo* •tion. Thnt could not be the cose, for ths pupils were notonly remarkably ignorant for their years, but they wer* ..also demoralised, and oven brutalized by the seventjapi^cruelty of the Master. The Inspector then stands eon-;victed of having attempted to suppress religious instroo; ',tion, and of having persecuted the master, whorefaj sd.-te d::i.;be his accomplice, by malicious and rubricated cbsjgts.xThis gross abuse is worse than p'roselytism, which iioriyji jcj:a conversion from one religion to another. But inMhjs'xy^icase no religion is considered better than Popery, «d y li$tfj>.what do wa find ? A brother inspector, Mr. M'CresJy gJjwho was sent down to enquire, actually screening''thr j sculprit. And the National Board sanctioningall this! '£}£&

From other facts which have cotue to my knowledge, *:>XZhave no doubt that similar attempts have twen maH««lto;: j |where, and I am sorry to say they have been passed onr,0z*%with indifference by Catholic patrons of schools! - It njttgSSbe said that the olergycoHwarcA thtteachsri aniiMffh^.- .tori.

THE INCONSISTENCY of PRO I'KSTANTISMTO Tlin EDITOR OF TUB WATKKFOUD XKWS.

My D EAR SIR —You will have observed that theform of prayer appoint ed by the supreme head ofthe Protestant Establishment to be used on the dayof "humiliation and prayer"—whereon , we are told ," an excellent sermon " was preached to a most de-cidedly " tliiti but respsctablij" audience in the Pro-testant cathedral of this ri iy—contained the follow-ing prayer of Si. Chryso.«to:n :

A P;;AVF.Il OF ST. ClIKTiOSTOM." Almighty God , v.iio hast given m grace at this time ,

with one accord, to make our common supplications untoThee, and dost promise that when two or three are gath.«red together in thy name, thou wilt grant their request!,fulfil now, 0 Lord, the desires and petitions of thy ser-vants, as may be most expedient for them, gran ting us intbig world knowled ge of ihy (ruth , and in tho world tocome life everlasting. Amen."

Now, my dear sir, is it likel y that the cabinet , ofwhich the violent anti-Catholic Russell is a leadingmember, were unconscious of the great reliance thesaint whose form of supplication they adopted forthe Protestani3 of the emp ire placed upon the patron-age of tho Blessed Virg in Mary ? The teachings ofthe same saint , even though not recommended byher Maje sty or the Bishop of Canterbury, ought tobe as acceptable to Protestantism as the above prayer.Therefore , the following translation of a sermon ofSt. Chrysost>m on the patronage of the Blessed Vir-gin should bo studied by all Protestants who are de-sirous of arriving at the truth :

•' The Son of Hod (says St. Chrysostom) did not select& richor powerful female for his mother , but that blessedVirgin whose soul was adorned with virtues. Therefore,as bUssed Mary observed chastity ntovc all human na-ture , on this account , she conceived in her womb Christour Lord. Therefore fiockin;; or ruc.ning to this mostholy Virgin and Mother of (iod. we may obtain utilityby her patronage. Then-fore , whichever of you IJO vir-gius, fly to the Mother of God, for she will preserve inyou by her patronage that most beauti ful, most preciousand incorruptible possession.

" My dsarest brethren , the ever blessed Virgin Marywas truly a gre-.U miracle ; for what was ever foundgreater or more illustrious , or ever could be found ? Shealone 6uperabounds heaven and earth in magnificence—What is moic holy? Not the Prophet*, not the Apos-tles, not the Martyrs, not the Patriarchs not the Angels ,not the Thrones, not the Dominations , uot tho Soraj,h-ime, not the Cherubhns—in fine , not anything visible orinvisi ble among created things cm ba found greitcr ormore excellent . Thesaraeis the handmaid and MotherofGod, the same is virg in nu 'l matro n. >he is the Motherof Him who wai begotton by the Father before all ngos,whom angels arid men recognise as Lord of all things.

Do you wish to know how much more superior is thisVirgin to the heavenly puwcrs ? They assist with fearand trcmbliug, watching her countenance ; she offers thehuman race to Him whom she broug ht fortL. Th roiiij hhar we obtain the pardon of our sins.

Hail , therefore, mother , heaven , maid , virgin , throne,honour, glory, acd fouudation of our Church , pr ay for uscontinually or incessantly to Jesus th y Son and our Lord ,that thro/ft jj thee wo may find mercy on the day oljud g-ment , a*j,.;v^r«in those rewards which are in store forthose wljro love God , through the grace and goodiiew ofour Lord Jesus Christ , to whom , with the Father amithe Holy Ghost , ba honor , glory, and power now and forevermore. Amen."

The foregoing is a literal translation from the Latinversion by the Kev. John ii. Cuthbert ; and the Latinversion was verbally translated from the originalGreek.—Yours, faithful ly,

TOW N COUNCIL—TUESDAY .(T!ie M.vroain the chair) ;

Also present—-Aldennnn Walsh, Aid. Ridgway, Aid.Cookc, Edmond Walsh , Michael Plielan , S. T. Grnhb,Simon Newport , Thomas Clarke, John Power, JohnBogan , Aid.

Carroll , M.D.,Thomas Lewis Mackesy, M.I)., and John Mackesy,M.D. Mr. John O'Connor, secretary of the W. &L. Railway, and Mr. Robert Dobbyn , solicitor , alsoattended.

The Mayor said the first notice of motion to beconsidered* was that of Dr. T. L. Mackesy.

A letter was read from Mr. J. Hudson , statingthat he coul d not obtain a sufficient fall for the sewerat the Tramorj railway, owing to obstructions in thepill , caused by stones and rubbish.

Mr. Clarke said that the expenditure of £10 wouldmiti gate the obstruction.

Mr. Purcell asked why it was that these obstruc-tions were not brought forward before now ?

Aid. Walsh said he was sure that if the matterwore brought before the harbour commissioners itwould be attended to.

Mr. Lawlor—This question was before the narboiuboard , ana they roted £10 for the purpose.

Mr. Bogan said he would beg leave to move thatthe harbour board be called on to remove tho ob-struction.

Aid. Dnvis— T will move that the town clerk bedirected to write to tlio harbour board calling onthem to attend to Mr. Hudson 's letter.

Mr. 15. Walsh—There is no use in goinj; to workwith £10—not less than £40 would be sufficient.

Alderman Davis—I nm sure all the harbourboard require is to draw their attention to thematter.

Mr. J. O'Connor (secretary to the Waterford andLimerick Railway ) app lied "to the Council for per-mission to allow Mr. Leekiff to transfer a piece ofpound (3 rimd.s, 2 perches), near the Waterfordbrid ge, to railway nurpones. The corporation beingthe bxml-landlords, Mr. Leckie did not like toconclude a bargain without their sanction.

Mr. Robe.t Dobbyn , solicitor , supported the ap-plication.

Captain Newport said he thought tha Councilwould be unanimous in forwarding the interests ofthe railway.

Mr. Dobbyn—There 13 to bo no diminution ofrent—the ground is to be used for filling-stulTforthe railway.

Alderman Walsh—For my part I don 't under-stand i t ; it would be well to refer the matter to acommittee-.

Mr. Purcell—If it is such a small thing as threeroods and two perches, wh y should we stand in theway of public improvement ?

On the suggestion of the Mayor, Mr. R. Dobbynprepared a resolution to the effect that the Corpora-tion would givn Mr. Leckie the power of disposingof the land require d by the railway.

Csptsin Newport proposed and Mr. Purcellseconded the motion.

Mr. Strange—If there he any information to beobtained on the matter , tin's is not the time nor theplace to obtain it. A public bod y, like this , wouldrequire some information before they could decidesuch a question in a hop-step-and-a-U-ap (hear).

Mr. Cox—C.'.n 't we rt-t'or it to a oo:nmittoi> , withpower to add to their nun.bcrs ?

Mr. Strange—Would it not have been right to putthis on the notice paper ?

Mr. O'Connor— I was not aware that I shouldcome here 10 minutes before I did. The questionhas been raised, by Mr. Lcckic 's solicitor.

Mr. Cox—I move thnt it be referred to a com-mittee.

Mr. G::ilwey—The question is, .ire we to deliverup three (iiiart ers of an acre of our land for ever?

Mr. CJ.V— Is it a fact that other land will beinjured by it ?

Mr. Walsh—On the face of it that is an absurdresolution.

The Mayor—Mr. Leckie is not the lessee.Dr. Carroll—It is hard to understand the merits

of the case without inquiry.Alderman Phcl'in—1 will move that the question

be referred to the finance committcp .Aid. Davis moved , and Mr. Cox seconded , that it

bo referred to a committee.For the umenamcnl —Dr. Mackcsy, Dr. Carroll ,

• The town clerk said 11 to 1 4.Counsellor Walsh did not vote.The original resolution of allowing Mr. Leckie to

sell his interest was then carried.ADVERTISING Tim IMPR OVEMENT BILL.

Alderman Cooke asked wh y the finance com-mittee refused to pay the Chronicle's bill (£17 11s.)(or advertising the parliamentary notice of the lateimprovement bill ?

Alderman Walsh said the committee were notbound to tell their reasons.

AId«rman Cooke said that the proprietor of the(.'hrmiicl: had inserted it , of his own accord , seeingthe resolution on their books, that the notices begiven in the newspapers. He therefore proposedthat tho bill be paid.

Mr. Gailwey, as one of the finance committee,snid it ivns s:atod to them that the necessary noticesshould be given , and no other ; and those noticeswere in the Dublin Gazette and one local paper.The committee therefore reported that the noticesi,j tiic Chronkle were not necessary, and should notbe paid. Mr. Cooke was also a member of thatcommittee , and ho did not then object to the resolu-tion (laug hter).

Aldcnnan Cooke said on reading the resolutionsubsequently, ho saw the imp ort of it.

Mr. J. Power said the law only required that thenotices should be inserted in one local paper. Wh ydid not the Mail, or the Clonmel papers insert i t .'Simp ly because it was not ordered. If you go runaway with the public money in this manner, you dowhat is wrong, and also do a great injustice to theMail.

Mr. Murphy said the resolution ordering theinsertion of the notice should have been moredelnutc.

Dr. J. Mackesy stated that it was usual to adver-tise parliamentary notices in all the local papers.

Alderman Sidney thought the then Mayor wasinstructe d to give the "necessary notices" only, andthat is exactly what has been done.

Mr. Grubb—The resolution then said in all thenewspapers.

Alderman Slaney—It did not say any sucli thing ;it said the "necessary notices." We confined theMayor at the time to act with strict economy.

Mr. J. Power—The propr ietor of the Mail appliedfor the advertisement; but he was told that theinsertion of it would not be necesj ary in u secondWaterford paper.

Alderman Davi3—I think the proprietor of theMail has a right to he paid ibr not advertising it atall (hear, hear , and laughtor) .

Mr. Cox—The question should be, whether weare to receive the report of the committee or not I

Aid. Walsii—As it was a report of the committee Ithink in deference to the gentlemen composing it,we ought to be bound by their report. I wil l ,therefore, vote ngainst the payment of this account.

Mr. Strange, ex-Mayor , said he had given hisopinion before on the subject, which seemed to begenerall y approved of. He did not , therefore , thinkit necessary to go over the same ground again (hear).

The motion was then put.For Payment —Messrs. Cooke, S. Newport , John

Mackesy, J. Bogan , J. Egan , T. Purcell , W. Currol l,H. Rid gwav, IS. Walsh , P. K. Reid , S. T. Grubb.M. Phelan , "T. Murphy, T. Clnke, A. Ryan—15.

ANOTHF.tl CLAIM.An account of £24 12s from Mr. A. U. Roberts,

civil engineer, was read , for preparing maps, sec-tions , &c, of the Kilbarry marshes, in compliancewith the orders of the council , and as set forth in »heparliamentary notice already referred to.

Capt. Newport—Th e work was very well executed(hear , hear). Where are the maps ?

Mr. Strange—They are lodged in the proper offi-ces. I have one spare copy, which the council canget. Those who saw the maps said they were beau-tifull y executed. The charge, too, seems to be mo-derate (hear, hear) .Aid. Cookesaid they were notorderedby thecouncilProposed by Dr. Carrol l, and seconded by Dr. J

Mackesy, that the bill be paid.

Aid. Walsh—The corporation recognised this im-provement bill, and therefore you must pay Mr.Roberts.

Mr. Gailwey—You have just psid for an advertise-ment not ordered , and now you refuse to 'pay thisaccount (laughter). The advertisement referred tospeaks of these bogs.

Aid. Davis—All these bills ought to be laid beforethe finance committee. It should bo seen whether itis n fair charge or not.

Mr. Egan moved an amendment that it be referredto the finance committee.

Mr. Bogan read a resolution from the proceedingsof the committee, authorising tho mayor to get themaps, &c.

Dr. Carroll—I withdraw my resolution.—Amend-ment passed. IMSE Of V'AGKS.

A memorial was read from the quay and riverwatch (transmitted by Mr. John Fam-11) for a rise ofwages until the new food comes in.

Aid. Phelan proposed that the prayer of the memo-rial be agreed to ; seconded by Mr. E. Walsh , andpassed.

A memorial was read from Edmond Doody, ofSkibbereen , asking to be allowed one year 's rent , inconsequence of his losses in cattle. Or, if not , mo-ney to go to America.—Referred to the finance com-mittee.

A memorial from the street-sweepers, asking foran increase of wages, in consequence of the hi ghprice of provisions.—Referred to the street commit-tee, with power to act.

The meir tirial from the inhabitants of Johnstown ,requesting to have a flag-wny laid down.—Referredto the street committee, on motion of Aid. Walsh.

An account was read from Mr. Michael Dobbyn ,jun., for the sum of £C Gs, for summoning widestreet juries.—Referred to committee.

HATHS AND WASH-HOUSES.Dr. T. L. Mackesy brought forward his motion , of

which he had given notice, relative to the erectionof public baths and wash-houses in the city. He didDot wish to bring the subject forward f.<r some timeback , as the council had been engaged about im-provement bills (laughter). He was sure that , likeguaranteeing for the national cattl e show, the cor-poration would not he the losers, but otherwise , inguaranteeing the expense for the erection of thosehouses. He would , however , postpone the consider-ation of his motion to a future day, if the councilwished. The learned gentleman produced a memo-vial signed by the two bishops , nnd most of the re-spectable inhabitants of the ciiy, in favor of the erec-tion of bath s and wash-houses.

It was resolved that n special council be called forthis day fortnight to consider the question.

A GREAT NUISAN CE , NO 0OUIIT.Dr. Carroll said the greatest nuisance in Wator-

ford was a lane at the back of the county jail , inwhich there was no sewer.

On the motion of Aid. Phelan , the subject wasreferred to the street committee.

WATER F Onn STRUCK OUT.Mr. P. A. Power asked why it was that Waterford

was struck out of the improvement of towns' bill,it being a very useful measure ?

Mr. Gailwey said Mr. Meagher had promised toattend to the matter.

MECHANICS ' INSTITUTE .Dr. J. Mackesy moved the following motion :

" That the sum of £50 be granted by this council tothe mechanics ' institute , towarc's the establishmentof that institute in this city ; lh;it the vrso'ution ofcouncil under date of the 1st of May, 1319, relativeto tho mechanics' institute , be rescinded."

Mr. Strange supported the motion.Dr. Mackesy—No one can deny that the mecha-

nics ' institute is most useful to tha public.Mr. O'Brien read some sections from the act of

parliament , showing that they were first bound toli ght , watch , and pave the city.

Dr. Mackesy—Lotus vote this sum now ; you canread your nets of parliament after (laug hter).

Aid. Cooke cautioned members of the councilagainst signing such an order.

A voice—What about the school of design and ad-vertising, without an order ?

Dr. Carroll—It is very disgraceful to the city ofWaterford if the council cannotg ive some assistanceto H1I3 institution.

Mr. Ii. Walsh—It is a greater disgrace to with-draw £10 a year from the orphan houses of Water-ford.

A member said the mechanics ' institute was sup-ported by private subscri ptions.

Dr. Ca'.Toll—You would not have the mechanics 'institute if gentlemen did not support it themselvesThe mechanics ' institute is admirabl y conducted ,and will diffuse great benefits on the city. It wouldbe an insult to their capacity to discuss the advantageof a mechanics ' institute ; it was a trite subject.

Aid. Walsh thoug ht the resolution ought not to berescinded. News-rooms were opposed to the properstud y of literature. The debts of the council mustbe lirst met. They should first light , cleanse, andwater the streets, before they would make such agrant. They should first light Bal lybricken andPatrick-street. He was as anxious for the diffusion ofliterature and the promotion of science as any manin the city. But onl y for the convents and mo-nasteries in the city, the people would be in a hadway. He said the resolution was a clap-trap, becauseit appc.ireil that the mechanics' institute was onlyintended for mechanics—a class, and not for thepublic generally—it was not even for doctors , orapothecaries, or lawyers (laughter). He said themotion was intended to please a few sentimental gen-tlemen (laug hter , and cries of no) ; but it was inhis (Aid. W. 's) opinion a perfectly illegal one (criesof hear, hear, and no, no).

The Mayor then put the question—Fur rescindinrj it.—J. Mackesy, J. Bogan , Dr. Car-

rol l, S. T. Grubb, M. Phelan, f. F. Strange, AndrewRyan—7.

Dr. Carroll—it is evident Ireland h not intendedto be i manufacturin g country (hear , hear).

Captain Newport—That is not fair—[several mem-bers appeared to be a little excited hcra].

Mr. Strange withdrew the following motion ,namel y : " That a sum of money not exceeding £50be voted from the corporate funds in aid of the ' Sai-lors' Home,' about to be established in this city. "

COUNTY KATES—MEMORIAL.The town clerk read n letter and memorial from

C!or.:r."l as to the charges en county and poor ratesin Ireland , which arc- in England nnd Wales, borneout of tho consolidated fund , which includes supportof criminals, half salaries of medical men , school-masters, &c.—Ordered that a similar memorial bepresented , signed by the mayor on behalf of thisbody.

On the motion of Mr. Grnbb, Mr. Clarke wasallowed to read his petition to the House of Lordsagainst ministers ' money, which was signed by allpresent. The petition contains two nrgumentsarising out of the munici pal historv and constitutionof the Urhs Intacta. The first goes to show that ,tho stati.tc of Charles the iiecond bmno- subversive ofa considerable portioii of ihe franchises and freecustoms of the city, explicitl y and solemnl y guaran-teed, as the estate and inheritance of the citizens , bythe governing ch.irter of the city, granted in thesecond year of Charles the First , was not intendedfor Waterford ; but that its app lication to this citywas an error, arising out of tho anarch y and confu-sion of the civil war which at that time raged. Thesecond argument proceeds to tliow that , even ifthis were not the fact , still the parties who havefnken on themselves to enforce thestatuts of Charlestlia Second in this city have committed a flagranterror by going outside the authority of the statute ,and enforcing their demands, not onl y in the city,but also in the suburbs and lihertico thereof.

[The aim of Mr. Clarke in this petition to thoHouse of Lords appears to be this : that as theministers of the Queen have , much to their credit ,undertaken the good work of abolition , they shouldbe moved to do the work comp letely and at once.We approve of this effort as being ju.it in itself andbeneficial in its tendency. The Earl of Aberdeen -will be strengthened in the prosecution of his greatundertakings by adopting this suggestion ; for hewill thereby command the esteem and assistance ofall good men and loyal citizens.—ED.]

The Mayor stated that the Secretary to the Har-bour Commissioners had furnished an account of theexpenditure of tho Water Bailiff' s Foes, by which itappeared that the sum of nve pounds on account ofthis fund was on hands on the 25th March last.—Adjourned.

TORN BV DOOS.—On Monday a poor man namedJohnson , was so dreadfull y lacerated by dogs on theKill St Laurence road, near this city, that he diedihortly afterwards.

On the motion of Dr. Mackesy it was proposedthat a pensioner, named Harrington , be appointedthe second inspector of nuisances for the city. Bothmotions had been first recommended hy committees.

Mr. Cadogan moved, as an amendment , that Mr.Cheevcrs, who was recommended by Mr.Power, J.P.Bc-llvieu, and Mr. T. F. Strange, be appointed.

Motion passed—that is, Harrington appointed.CONSOLIDATION OF OFFfCES.

The report of a committee was read , stating thatthe offices of storekeeper and assistant-master couldbe consolidated—that the baker had taken hag-money—that the storekeeper had taken flax inferiorto quality—and that there was a want of co-operationon the part of the master and the storekeeper.

The Chairman said tho committee went into thematter full y on Monday, when Capt. Hamilton as-sisted them.

Mr. Gamble said the committee were anythingbut unanimous.

Mr. E. Power supported the storekeeper, whilstCapt. Newport moved that he be dismissed. Aftersome discussion , on the suggestion of Mr. Hudson ,it was agreed that, in consequence of the consoli-dation of the two offices , the storekeeper be dispensedwith at the exp iration of the present quarter. Thereport was also adopted.

A MOTION AND A VOTF. !Mr. Roberts wished to insert a paragraph in the

report condemnatory of the conduct of the baker, foihaving abused Mr. Power 's flour without trial.

Capt. Newport said that Mr. Power 's characterstands too high to need such a motion ; it wouldonl y do him an injury ; in fact he might well cryout , " save me from my friends" (laughter).

Mr. Hudson proposed an amendment to Mr. Ro-berts 's proposition , namel y, that the board had noevidence before it to enable it to pass an opinion onthe subject. The amendment was first put amid astorm of voices for it; then the original motion , whichwns supported only by Mr. Roberts's own voice,which excited much laughter.

Mr. John Carrol l said he was instructed to offer£50 on the part of Mr. W. Walsh , in lieu of theclaim which the board had made on him (Mr. W).

Mr. Cadogan said he was not able to pay more.Some guardians seeming not disposed to accept the

offer , Mr. Carroll withdrew it, and left tho room.ELECTION OF MEDICAL OFFICER.

In in time of j >y ami pi nsure,Yet the mi ml will often sigh

O'er some luved, but long lost treasure,Of the days that are goue by.

Like some strain of music dying,On a wild anJ rock y ahora,

Turn nsidr its sweet leaves blooming,And the hidden thorn is there.

So we triwl, mid joy and sorrow.Down lifr*t varied , winJing way,

And we know not of io-mi-rrow,While we pass alone to-day;

THE DEATH BED OF SEVEN GREAT MEN.The Duke of Wellington, lay in his agony for a

whole week in his old Castle of Walmer, and at lengthhis soul departed between two apothecaries.

Vingezo Giobeoti , philosopher and politician , (adegraded priest ) sat in his chair at midnight, read-ing ' Thomas A Keinp is." In the morning he wasfound dead of apoplexy, between his chair and thebed.

Donozo-Cortez, Marquis of Valdegainas, theflower of Spanish literary chivalry, orator , philoso-pher, statesman , devout, pious, charitable , in the cityof Paris after receiving all the vitcs of his church, dy-ing, bequeathed his soul to God and his body to theBenedictines.

John C. Calhoun , Amcricnn-Celt , orator and states-man , but of no religion , learning that the last proof-sheet of his last speech wa3 corrected , turned hisface to the wall, and said, ' itis well,' and so he died.

Henry Clay, orator and statesman , lingering formonths, and yet took no serious heed of his soul,which went its way with all the sins of a life time tokeep it company.

Daniel Webster, statesman and orator, was read¦with poetic elegies, and left on record his belief that ,after all, there was a Providenca !

Lastly, de Lnmonnaip, gifted as highly as any,blessed with a Catholic education , and raised evento the dignity of holy orders , 'died as the Heathendieth ,' without priest or penitence.

Whoever inedidatcs on the modern society, and thedeath of these, its chiefs, cannotbut say from his soul' better be as little children ,1 or to have lived in thedarkest of the ages called dark , than to excel in pub-lic life, onl y to die such deaths, as these unhappy,great , and unfortunate famous men have died.

A NIXDOTES OF FATHER O"L EAIIY .—Father O'Learyand Curran were cracking their jests at a dinnerparty one evening, as their wont , when the celebratedadvocate turned abruptl y to the good father say ing,' I wish , O'l.cary that you had the keys of heaven.• Wh y, Curran V asked the divine. ' Because youcoul'? then let me in ,' said the facetious counsellor.'I t would be lietter for you, Curran ,' said FatherO'Leary, ' that 1 had the keys of the other place, be-cause I could then lit you out. At another time aProtestant clergyman railed to see him j ust at n timewhen Father O'Loary 's favorite old horse was dying.The divines retired fro m the scene, when shortly afterword was brought of the horse's death. ' Did youadminister Extr;'in<; Unction to him, Father O'Leary ?'nsked the parson. ' O!i, no ,' was the reply, 'the oldrascal died a Prott 'stant."

RUSSIA AND TURKEY—A CONTRAST.(From the Dublin Review.)

The Abb£ Lacordaire says :—" Russia is a mightynation. She stretches from the centre of Europe tothat of Asia, from China to America, enclosing aterritory whoso immensity startles the imaginationfar less than its providential distribution del ights theunderstanding. Russia belongs to the Greek reli-gion by accident, and not by her political necessitiesor the character of her mind. It is impossible forher to fulfil her destiny without a return sooner orlater to unitv."

Has it ever occurred to our readers that Maho-medanism is the only religion ever set up and in-vented , so to speak, in avowed opposition , open anta-gonism and deadly aversion to Christianity ? Pa-ganism, in its multifarious forms of idolatry, is thedebased rcmiinnt of patriarchal Christianity, andhas by gradual process of corruption become op-posed to it. Judaism , on the other hand , was longanterior to it, nnd is only opposed to it in not havingsubmitted to it; whereas, Maliomedanism was framedby these false prop hets for the purpose of its beingset up against Christiani ty, —lie himself—the apostleof Satan—sttling himself up in blasphemous rivalryto Christ. If ever there appeared Antichrist in theworl d, Mahomet wus he. He challenges for himselfthe honour due to tlia Son of God ; and the watch-word of his followers, " There i* no God but God,and Mahomet is his prophet ," indicates an essentialenmity to Christianity, more mal ignant than in anyother false reli gion. According ly the whole historyof Mahomcdanistn has been marked by a ferociousfanaticism against the Christian fnifh. " No race,"says Dr. Newman, " casts so broad and dark a sha-dow on the page of ecclesiastical history and leavesso painful an Improssiuii on tho mind as the Turkish.The Saracens withered away at the end of 300 or400 years, and had not the power, though they hadthe will , to pr>r?ev«;r; in their enmity to the Cross.The Tartars had b.ith the will and the power , butthey were f a r <>{T from Christendom, or came downon ephemeral outbreaks. But the unhappy race ofthe Turks from the first moment they appear in thehistory of Christendom are its unmiti gated , its obsti-nate foes. They have the resources of Tartar.? withthe fanaticism of Saracens." " Since the eleventhcentury the Turks have been the great Antichristamong the races of men."

SEPARATION FROM ROME.Towards the close of the 13th century, while Rus-

sia was yet wider the dominion of the Turks, andafter the last of the Crusades took place under theauspices of St. Lewis, anti-Pa pal princi ples becameprerak-nt in the West, as un-Cntholic doctrines n eregaining predominance in the East ; and in the 14tha-Mitury , while Western Christendom was divided bythe fatal schism of the double papacy, Eastern Chris-tendom was rapidly proceeding to war.'lsacomplotodis-ciaimer of papal authority, and fatal departure fromCatholic orthodoxy. It is exactly four centuriesago since this melancholy consummation took placelit Constantinop le, in a final separation from theHoly See ; and the almost instant retribution thatensued is one of the most tremendous manifestationsof an aveng ing Providence recorded in history. Theyear 1452 saw the sad schism ; the very next yearsaw its punishment in the capture of the city by theTurks. That fair Christian city, however, fell underthe yoke of the infidel ; the Church of Santa Sophia,in which a Saint Chrisostoin had preached , was con-verted into a Mahomedan inosque ; and all the otherchurches in which the Adorable Sacrifice had beenoffered, were yielded up to the like hoiriblc sacri-lege. We do not envy the mind which can contem-plate such an event and realise all its results, withoutfeelings of profound regret. The Turkish conquer-ors regarded Christianity with such supreme con-tempt , that they tolerated it for very scorn. This isthe real source of that tolerance which the admirersof Mahomadnnism talk of. It i3 surely the result ofan intense contempt for Christianity, which does notcondescend to interfere with the "dogs of infidels. "From this contemptuous feeling, the Christians worepermitted to exercise their worship—in such obscureedifices as they could procure—all their churchesbeing changed into mosques. Tho Muhomsd.tu po-licy, however, being based on a c:):!i]<lnte confusionof the sp iritual and temporal , the Turkish conquero rscondescended so far to take notice of their Greeksubjects, as to compel them to solicit the Sultan's in-stallation of their Patriarch ; a degradation whichhas continued down to this day. It was, indeed, adegradation hitherto unheard of, that Christian pre-lates should be installed not only by laymen, but byinf idels. So it was, however, a most appropriatepunishment for schism. The Greek Church hadproudly rejected the authority of the Holy See. Itnow groaned under the debasing yoke of the un-believer. Thus commenced the Turkish rule in Con-stantinop le. It was a retribution upon schism. Thecity is Christian in its origin. It stands on Christianground. Its only noble memories are Christian.For ten centuries it had been the Christian Patri-archate of the East since it received the name of thefirst Christian emperor. It had heard the voice ofcanonized saints. It had known a greater than Con-stantine. And now the city, sacred to St. Chrysos-toin , was, and ever since has been, under an obsceneand odious denomination.

There is an ancient prophecy preserved by Chris-tian tradition in the east , thnt Turkish dominion overthe Greek empire was to last four hundred years.That period exp ired about the middle of last year,when the Russians commenced their advances. Whe-ther the prediction will be verified remain* to beseen. Its verification , in the liberation of the doomedcity, would be most remarkable. But, beyond alldoubt, the retribution exhibited in its subjugationwas most memorable. There is nothing like it inthe annals of the world, except the siege of Jeru-salem.

Monstrous to state, there are scarcely more than amillion of Mussulmans in European Turkey ; whilethere -are 2,000,000 Albanians and Bulgarians,3.000,000 Sclavoiiianf, Servians, and Illyrians,1,000,000 Greeks, and 4,000,000 Romanians or Wal-laciiians ; the rest of the population being Tartars,Fi ?."ks , or Jews. Such a state of things as this has::o pnr.illel in modern history, and U monstrous andunnatural. Nine millions of Christians kept in sub-jection by a million of Mahomedans.

THE GAS QUESTION—CORK AND WAtER-FORD:7

¦" " ;-;¦ "Mr. Thomas Murphy, t.C.i has requested us to

publish the following :— ¦ ¦Cork, April 27, 1854. _

DRAR SIB—WO herewith send you the Cork Contti-f utlou, on ¦which jo\x wid see a letter of ours to tho K«8consumers of this city, which ¦wo think would applyequally well to Waterford.

We remain, your obedient servants ,JAMES REIDV & CO.

Thomas Murphy, Esq., T.C., Waterford.To the Oas Consumer! of the City of Cork.

In the preseut state of the gas question in our city afew observations from parties by experience conversantwith tho subject in its \nriuus detaila may not be out ofplace. It is proposed by the United Ceneral Gas Com-fwny to udd to an alreudy fur more than remunerativeprice a sum of 8d. per 1000 feet ; probably it would havebeen wiser for those gentlemen at such n period of addi-tional taxntion to be satisfied with the enormous profitsthey had already beeu derivinj^rather than raise a ques-tioa very likely to prove detrimental to their interests,since they liavo moots:! the point it would bo WoM to letthe public know how the que3liou at prcaont rests, orwhether they are justified in attempting an imposition ofsuch a charge nt nil. U'e cow call your attention to theca8eof the .Sheffield gas consumers' company, who dur-ing the last mouth sought an act of parliament to incor-porate them as a body. In the proceedings of the Houseof Commons, March 27ll> , 1854 , Mr. Hardy, one of thecouncil for the new comjauy, says , among other matters,after opening the case, *'• the old coinuaiiy was begun in1818 , when the population of Sheffield was only Oj .O a ) ;they mndt to much p rof it that , in 1830, the market priceof the shares was £7i , only £l& per shate bcimj paidup." And again, " In September. 1852, the presentnew company was provisionally registered ; in the follow-ing month there as a largo meeting of (.'as consumers,and it was resolved that a gas consumers' company shouldbe formed, pledged to charge no more than 4s. per 1 ,000feet , pledged not to amalgamate, and pledget! to nllow thecnrponitiou to appoint andicontrol the g»s meters. Thenew company had nt least this good effect, it had reducedthe charge to ihnt suppnscU imp ossible jui ce of 3s. per1000 j for the old company , who said that that pricewould be absolutely ruinous, had in the prospect of thiscontest reduced it to 3s. He would venture to siy theywuM not have d .no that if they liad not found theywoiil .l bo remunerated. That being so the council meton Oolobov 21, 18 j 1 , nr.d recei ved a vepoi-t fr»m the coin-mit iv thut they ha'l appointed the yonr before. Thecommittee reported that the price of gas was much toohigh, but as the consumers haU themselves taken pro-ceedings to supply gas at 3s. per I (KW, they (the com-mittee) would uot recommend tho council at that time toapply for an act. Upon this the now company went on,and issued their prospe: tus. They now proposed in theirbill , as thcyorigitnlly pn>ini>ed, that they would charge3J p er 1 ,000 ; tint they would have meters inspected bypcrnons approved of by the corporation, nnd thut theywould supp ly meters fr te of charge. It was said onthe other side, that competition was not applicable to thiscuse ; no wonder thataunitci g.H company thought com-petition not very goo 1, for it had reduced the piico ofgas to 3?."

Wo also requist attention to tho prosetsJingi of theBurnley gas company.

'' House of Commons, Apr i l Zd , I8o4." This was i bill to extend ths HuvnU'Y gis company

act for the supply of g.is, ami to authorise the Mining ofn further sum o( money, and for other purposes. Thebill was opposed by the improvement co:noiU?ionersofBurnley. Mr. Culvert , in opening the case cm behalf ofthe company, said—' The compnny was fjfincil in 18-23,nnd in ISSfi the gi3 act was rnsseJ , the ellVct of whichwas that the cou>p.iny was enabled to supply li ghts to va-rious privnte establishments. Although the improve-ment commissioners had made complaints from time totime against the company, he thought ho would be ableto prove tint the quantity of g.is supplied by the companyInd been always sufficient , that the quality was g.Tod.in<l that the price was very moderate, bsiug so low asis. per 1 ,0Q:). '

" In February last tho comptny had issued an adver-tisement , in which , hiving referred to certain groundlesscharges made ag«in3t them with respect to the hivrh priceof gas. they pledged themselves to limit themselves tofls. per 1 ,000 cubic feet , and promised that in advanceshoul l bi; roadeion that charge, unless there should be araiterial advance in tlie price of coal and labour, and otherelements entering into the manufacture of gas. Siucethen the company had manifested no intention of raisingthe price of R-w-'1

IJnt although there has not been on advance sufficientto compol the Burnley gas company to ir.creno theircharge from tho very moderate price of 3s. per 1000, yettho uniteil general gns company feel called on to makethe citizens of Cork p»y a considerable advance on &price , which is exactly double that of tho Burnley com-pany. Of course they say they mu3t protect their in-terests ; it is very natural to think they should, but it isequally natural for the citizens ot Cork to be alive to theirintcre-ts to-'.

Mr. Calvcrt proceeds to state what were tho reductions in price made by the Burnley company :—

" From Ift4t to 1850 the reduciioa was from 6a. to4s. Cd. ; from 1850 lo 1833, from 33. to 4s. ; from Jan.,1853, to July, 1833, from 4s. CJ. to 3* Cd. ; nnd fromJulj, 18-33, to the present time, from3s. G1. to3a. ;" andyet while the TCnrnley orepany are miking reductionsfrom July, 1853 , that is tho very time the Cork companytake it into their heads to make an advance ! ! !

Hear what Mr. Calvert again s^iya :—" While these reductions were being carried on for the

benefi t of private consumers, the improvement corar.ii3-sioners experienced tha following reductions in thecharge for lightning the public Limps.- —From 1X40 toto 1833 the prices were reduced from £2 12s. Od. to£2 7s. Cd ; and in 1834 to £2 U."

On the examination of Mr. Thomas Coate9, accountantto the Burnley Company,he states : —

" I have heard that large _public improvements havebeen made in Manchester* out of the profits of tho gas.I learned from tho publje prints that they have expendedout of profits one million sterling in that way."

The town of Whiiehnven is supplied with gas nt 2s. Gd.per 100(1 . and Sunderland at 3s. ; and 17(17, we nsk ,should a city like Cork be in so much a worso position ?We pay for gas 6s. per 1 ,000 cubic feet ; for our publiclamps, £f l 15s. while some of the lamps are chargoil evenns high as £0 fts. , according to tho dibtance. Now theCork gas company say gas cannot be manufactured at aprofit under the price they demand. We tell them thsitit can, and we think we have satisfactorily proved it intho foregoing statement. It is no matter of idle hear-say. We nro prepared to support tho position we Iwvetaken up, and we say, as bos been said by the citizens ofLondon under similar circumstances: —" If (argue they;your experience , ns you allege, does not kail you to ima-gine that you enn c« or produce gas nt :1s. GJ. per 1,00)feet, it is a proof that you are incompetent, and we wilemploy those who, having done it for themselves, are ableto do it for 115." The history of the cheap gas movementin London would soon open the public eyes to the fal-lacy of the assertion put forward by ihe Cork gas com-pany.

Facts are far better thnn mere assertions.In tho report of Mr. Pearson to the sowers' commis-

sioners of f/mdon on the JJth April, 1849, he says :" The mains of several gns comp^tiici touch close uponthe 1'routiers of the city in various parts, and if the cor-poration of London or the sewers' commissioners , underthe provisi"us ot' th"" original act , were entpo irnre-l topurchase the mains anil pipes now in the groan I at a va-luation, they would be enabled to purchase by tenderfrom some of those companies a supply of the articlewhich would allow of its being sold at 4s. per 1,0 >0 , arntc which, after making .111 adequate allowance for nilexpenses, and interest of capital for pi pes, &c, wutilillcive a considerable balance in aiil of the sewers ' rate.or to dulV«y the cost of sanitary improvements that nwjbe dcsirc.l. If comb'nation should be formrd aniongtttlic various frts romp<tni<'s to defeat the plan by refusingto tender, thefr object would not be gained ; for I haverrcaived pr»posals from ft person largely intsre«te:l ingas works, aud practically acquaint ed with all tho work-ing details of gas manufacturing, who offers to supplvthe whole quantity required, of the very best quality asto purity and illuminating power, at 'Ju. GJ. per l.''0;>cubic feet. Purchasing at this price the ci ty authoritiesmight dispense.tlio gas at 4 j., and collect the rates throughofficers of the; sewers' commission under the manage-ment of the commissioners, who might apply the profitsto tho relief of the rites or other important publicobjects."

We think , under present circumstances, the latter por-tion i.f this pretty closely approximates to our own situ-ation in this city. Our town council hoM Iho position oft!\ ." I, ndon commissioners of sewers. They are om|iow-c-rp,l t.i puvc!':i e from the existing gas company at that-xpiratio'i of their contract, and where ia the man in ourcity who would not lend his aid to lighten the burden ot'taxation pressing 60 heavily on all , when in BOdoing he would bo very considerably reducingthe expeuse.i of his own private consumption ofgas, which to Iarga consumers is alone no triflinginducement ? If tho present works were pur-chased it wou'U be no clifficuli matter to find contractor*nble nnd willing to supply the corporation with gas at2-j. 00. per i .ouo feet, even at the present high pricesof coal, &c ; the surplus to 4s would pay the interest oncapital nnd be also applicable to local improvements,while the cost of the public lamps, ami consequently otthe city rate.s,. would be considerably reduced ; but inthe event of t.'ie corporation not purclnsiug, wo tbink i*a joint stock company weru fornu-d the Bbares of whichwould not exceed £~ each, that wnong the gas consumersprincipally interested in the issue the required capitalwould be readily raised, and we are also firmly of opinionthat every gaa consumer in the city would readily con*tract with uucb new company 80 formed for a supply ofgns at 4s. per 1U00 cubic feet instead of the threatenedtis. 8d., the new company oa their part guaranteeing a

DEPUTATION FROM WATERFORD TOTHE LORD LIEUTENANT.

On Friday, at oue o'clock, a deputation from theWaterfopd and New Ross Harbour Commissionerswaited upon bis Excellency at tha Lodjjey PhoenixPark, for the purpose of obtaining government as-sistance to improve the Port of Waterford , by re-moving the shoal and deepening the river up to theterminus of the Waterford and Limerick railway, soas to make it navigable for ships of large burden.

The deputation consisted of the Mayor of Water-ford, Thomas Meagber, Esq., M.P., John O'Connell,Esq., M.P., Charles Gavan D.uffy, Esq., M.P.,Samuel Thomas Grubb, Esq., Harbour Coinmiisionerand Town Councillor ; H..N. Nevin, Esq., HarbourCommissioners ; William Greaves, Esq., HarbourCommissioner, New Ross.

The deputation presented the following memorialto his Excellency :—To his Excellency the Right Hon. the Earl of Saint

German s, Lord Lieutenant General and GeneralGovernor of Ireland, $c. iyc.May it p lease your Excellency : A deputation from

a jo int .committee of the Waterford and New Rossharbour boards beg respectfully to wait upon yourExcellency, with a view of calling your attention toa matter not merely of great local concern , but ofvery considerable national importance at the presentcrisis.

The position of Waterford harbour—into whichflow the fine and navigable rivers Suir , Nore, andBarrow—situated at the extreme South-East of Ire-land , directly opposite the naval arsenal of Pembroke,and in the track of the v.ist mercantile ffoets trading

to Liverpool, Glasgow, and the other Northernports—renders it far better than any more distantone for tho shelter of her Majesty 's cruisers that maybe required in time of war for the protection of thechannel.

But at present there is, a few miles inside the en-trance of the harbour, a shoal, which, at low waterof spring tides, forms an impediment to the freeingress and egress of heavy ships of war and othervessels of large tounaga. Were the proposed im-provement carried out, this spacious and well situa-ted estuary would form a valuable and safe harbourof refuge, which has long been felt to be a greatdesideratum on the dangcrou3 coast between Cork andDublin , as it is in fact the only harbour between thesetwo distant ports, and also is the one which commandsthe entrance to the channel , and contains , just abovethis shoal , the fort of Duncannon , ottering a valua-ble arsenal fur naval and military stores, and form-in'; an important coast defence.

To accomplish this work , a sum not exceeding,€20,000 is all that will be required , according tothe estimate of an intelli gent, practical engineer , whorecently surveyed the shoal , by order of the Water-ford and New Ross harbour boards.

In making this application, tho joint committeewould respectfull y impress upon your Excellency,that although the tonnage rates are at present atthe maximum permitted by law, the revenue theyafford is not after providing for the current expendi-ture more than sufficient for the improvement of theriver from the point of their junction above Passageto the respective towns of Waterford and New Ross.

From the returns supp lied by memorialists to theshipping dues commissioners, appointed by royalcommission , bearing date the 19th day of March ,1853, which returns were forwarded to the saidcommissioners on the 1st July of that year—i t ap-pear* that during the ten years elapsing 'from the 1stof April , 1843, to the 31st March , 1853, the Water-ford harbour board expended from tonnage rates :—

On dredging and removal of mud £7,265 16 2On hulks and gangways (for float-

ing bridges, connecting the hulkswith the Quays) v... 3,915 10 o

On quays and works thereto apper-taining 2,325 11 3

On maintainance of ford channeland King's Channel 1,510 19 6

On removal of wrecks and sunkenboats 291 2 3

And below that point of junction,contribution for new pier.i at Dun-cannon , which contribution waspaid to the board of public works 500 0 0

Making a total of. £15,809 2 7The New fto?s harbour board have, since their for-

mation in 1848, expended and undertaken worksinvolving an outlay of nearly £5,000.

And both boards have still works to carry out intheir respective localities of a costly nature.

Your Rxcellency will thus perceive that in seekingfor her Maje sty 's Government to extcute the work ofdeepening the shoal below Duncannon, they in factonly apply for assistance in improvements whichthey have been for some time carry ing out to theutmost of their power, and that they also desire thisoutlay to take place in a part of the harbour whichmust give it the position of a national and not a localundertaking.

The joint committee therefore respectfully entreatyour Excellency 's support and influence with herMajesty 's Government to induce them to carry outthis work in the shortest time possible.

" I am happy to be informed that my pirents still live,and enclose to them a bank orMer for thu stim ofi"— , andon recoi pt let them prepare for the land of' freedom andindependence.' I am sorry to be informed of the ruinedstate and deplorable coniliiiou of Ireland j it hai over-powered my teeling.4, nn<l has loft me not in n position toclearly convey in written language how wo Irish-Ameri-cans feel in this groit Republic at such sail intelli gence.On nil occasions when fresh drafts of our countrymen landhere.our first interrogatories are 'how is poor 1 relan'l,and all friends nt homo ?' The imineJiate reply we ro-eeive is • ALL have fled , as i t flora a plague sp >t , ratherthan remain any longer undei grinding oppressionand coercive laws, and a bankrupt aristocracy, who rest011 tho pivot of their final destruction.'

" When I reflect on the cruelty and oppression thathns fiuen inflicted by thoje parties on the Irish Celt, itrecalls to my mind the destruction of ancient Rome bybirbwous hoards of Gots, Vandals , &c, who ransackedand plundered their cities, destroyed their revered tem-ples awl carried off thomamlsof the inhabitants in chainsas a conquered race notfiltoenj )y c^nstitutionallibsrty orfreedom. The same destructive course of spoliation , con-fiscation , and plunder was carried into effact against mycountrymen thoso centuries past, by every corruptiblemeans imaginable, in order to exterminate, if possible,the Celtic race and the faith, for which their forefather*Med awl suffered ponjreution. \V« havo read that Ihogovernment Imve brought forward a nunnery, extermi-nating measure, to pry into aff.iira of those reclused an-gelic Iwitigs, who aro devoting their lives to the honorand glory of (Jod, and the moral and religious training ofthe rising female generation of our unhappy land.

" It also appears thit my countrymen have venturedtheir lives in the midst of winter storms to oross theboisterous Atlantic, to seek for protection and a home onthe American continent, rathnrthan remain longer underthe persecution of Britain. The immortal bard observes:

JOHxV O'CONNELr, TO THE REPEALERS 01-IRELAND.

Dublin, Apri l 29, 1854.Fcr.Low-CouNTtivMFN—Te n years ago we were a

united people, and commanded respectful attention.To-day we are divided into a thousand sections ; andlire laughed at and insulted !

Ten years ago we fought only with the commonenemy ; and when a comrade fainted by the way, ordeserted, we pitied or despised him ; bnt >vaste,1 notour energies s«nd our time in vain abuse. Whileever ready to receive back the erring one repenting,we, meantime, went on without him ; nor sought toindul ge in a melancholy triumph over a fallenbrotiier !

Ten years ago we had—by .1 policy of mutual kind-liness, of mutual encouragement and generosity offeeling, combined with an undivided , unselfish inten-sity of purpose against the foes of our faith and coun-try—achieved Emancipation ; popular control of ourcorporations ; purification , to a great extent , of ourjudicial and magisterial benches ; abolition of churchcess; and many minor benefits now forgotten, thoughhighly estimated then , and hardly fought for andwon.

In the last few years, under the system of division ,whispered or open accusation, bitter bickering, and un-measured reviling, that has unhapp ily prevailed , wehave seen our corporations lapsing back into Tory-ism ; the progress of Reform in other directionschecked and impeded'; the administrasion of the lawand distribution of influential offices becominglmoreand more advene and repugnant to the feelings, in-terests , and rights of our Catholic peop le ; and , final-ly, Catholic Emanci pation itself become insecure !

Can we not put an end to this ? Can we not de-cree an oblivion of our last few year3 of miserabledissension , and work together once more ?—not inmutual je alousies, not in mutual bitterness, and de-sire of hunting each other down ; but forg iving, fur-getting, enduring, and ready to endure everything, inthe hope of, by our patience and longanamity, con-ciliating Irishmen of every class and shade of opinion ,to unite in one great effort more for the righti of ourbeloved native land !

We, Repealers , for this will sacrifice all ; save onl your deep and undy ing attachment to ' The Repeal !'But 1st none who differ from us, or who think the timenot ripe for the great demand of Ireland, be fearfulthat we shall force it on them. We are ready tomeet any and all upon the common grounds betweenus. We are ready to, work with any and with all ,making no reserve, save that of keeping deeply print-ed into their souls—read y to act upon them when Ire-land again strengthens our hands so to do—thosewords of incontestable, irreversible, irresistabl;; truth—" There is no hope fo r Ireland save in the Repeal ! ! .'"

If, at the approaching great meeting, men cannotcome together in the spiri': of mutual furbcarance andconcession , so as to give the strength of union to ourprotest against religious insult and oppression , bettevit would be that we meet not at all ! But surely,fellow-countrymen , with our reli gion insulted , we willforget all else, and join in one great and convincingdemonstration , that the religion of Ireland and itsdevoted ministers shall not be insulted with impunity !

Ireland is abundantly proving her zaal to do herpart in the present war. Multitudes of her bravestand best are pouring into the fleet3 and armies of theemp ire. Forgotten for a time seem all her old suf-ferings, her still existing privations and grievances !Generously, heartily, magnanimousl y she offers herbest blood to Eng land ; nnd but one thing can checkher ardour and call up ancient hates again—the pns -ing in Parliament of the infamous measures of Cham-bers and of Whilesidc .'

The bigotry of Eng land's middle classes is omni-potent with Parliament , too many of whose memberscrouch before that evil influence , and vote againsttheir own sense of ju stice in voting against our reli-gious freedom. Upon the bigots, then, that control,and the unmanl y herd who obey, be the direful con-sequences that , in the coming emergencies of the eni-pire, may result from the success of our shameless as-sailants!

I pledge myself to you , brother Repealers, to domy humble part in the struggle as a true Repealershould • May I not ask of 'you, to rally against dis-sension amongst Irishmen , and to crush it at thecoming meeting, or wherever attempted? May I notcall otr you to rally throughout the parishes of Ire-land , and pour in petitions : firmly, while respectfully ,calling upon the English parliament , in this hour ofgathering danger and storm, to spurn the yoke otbigotry, and save the emp ire from worse ills thaneven a foreign war !

Ever, beloved fellow-countrymen , your devotedietvant , JOHN O'CONNELL.

CONVERSION .—Mrs. Ives, wife of Dr. Ives, lateProtestant Bishop, of South Carolina, was receivedinto the Catholic church on Good Friday last, atRome. This lady is the daughter of one of the mosteminent of the Protestant bishops of America—thelate Dr. Hobart—whose writings were hailed in thiscountry, some twenty or thirty years ago, by thatsection of the English preis which about that periodbegan to advocate high church or Puseyite princi-ples as something refreshing.

He was employed under Potekin in the war between the Turks and Rmsfeand then became, with the grade of lieutenantneral, governor of Odessa and all southern Ru$jHe contribute d so largely to the prosperity ofgovernment, and this city in particular, that thehabitants resolved , as we have seen, to perpelu:the remembrance of his return amongst them.
