TN CONSEQUENCE OF THE ABOLITIONJL of the Duty on Advertisements, we beg toinform our Friends and'the Public generally, thatwe have resolved on reducing the price of Adver-tisements not only a shilling each—as allowed bythe recent Act—but yet a great deal more.

Prior to the passing of this Act it was wellknown that our lowest price for the smallest Ad-vertisement was 3s. 6d. and upwards. Thatwould be, if continued-—

For One Year, £8 Os.Tiiis being so hi gh, that trades-peop le seldom

advertised by the year. But now we propose to adopta different scale of prices , • and one which , wehope , wil l not onl y increase the number of ourAdvertisements in a marked degree, but augmentour list of Subscribers very considerabl y.

We therefore propose to charge Advertisers£2 10s. a year for our Paper , which will entitlethem to publish an announcement of their ownbusiness , if not more than Six LINES, in everypublication for Twelve Months.

This , as our readers may perceive , will, whenthe price of the Paper (£1) is taken into conside-ration , amount but to the triflin g sum ofFor One Year's Advertising, f 1 IOs. Od.That is, for each Advertisement £0 Os. 7d.

Those not requiring to Advertise for twelvemonthsr consecutivel y, will be treated with at theoffice.

THE GREEK CHURCH-RELIGION IN RUSSIA.The "Telegraph" points out the distinction between

the Greek and Catholic church thus :—The heresy of the schistnatical Greeks consists in de-

ny ing the j .roce9siou of the Holy Ghost from the Kutherand the Son. They contend that the Holy Ghost pro-ceeds from the Father alone. This is the main differ-ence between the Greek and Latin churches. As to theauthor of the heresy, it is generally supposed to bc Tlico-doret ; because pnssiiges in his writings will bear suchan interpretation , althoug h they were intended as refuta-tions of the errors of the Arians and Neatorians. Whatis certain is, that tho heresy was held hy ouly a few per-son* up to the time of Photius, when it was condemued —atiout the year 8(i3—by Tope Nicholas I. Fourteentimes, up to the time of ili e council of Florence, in theyear 14:5!) , had the Greeks renounced this error, audunited themselves to the Latin church—but always rc-l.pssd again. In the counci l or" Flercnce they ngrced indefming that tlie Hoiy Ghost proceeds from the Fatherand the Son ; but n> sooner had they left the council thanthey returned to their former erroneous teiiching. Wemake this statement as to the difference between theCatholic and the Greek church, under the obedience ofthe Eastern Patriarchs, upon the authority of St. Alph-ODSUS Liguori, in his History of Heresies, Refutation iv.pwa. wl. iL, pp. 137 , 108.

As to the manners of the Greek clergy, we shall con-tent ourselves with referring to Itetera published latelyat Alaltn , by a Signor l'itzipios-n Greek by birth, andby religinii ; and oi' whose letters we find an analysis inii number of the Univers , published a few weeks since.M. l'itzipios commences his letters, by imputing the cor-ruption ami degradation of his nation to the ignorance,the iuiinor.ilily, and the simonaienl practices of hispatriarchs , bishops, and lower order of clergymen. liereproaches them with a scandalous violatiouofthe canoni-cal vuli-s, by lending money at such usurious interest as•20 per cent, lie accuses, by name , one bishop of havingrobbed ft monastery of a sum amounting to UiO ,'.lOO traacs;of another, saving out of his diocese a dowry of 8O,00iJfrancs for a niece ; of another, selling the episcopal blessing upou an adulturous tiiarriugo ; and tho author affirmsthat the uwut of those bishops never visit their dioceses,but to collect their tithes, passing the remainder of theirtime in sinful idleness at Constantinople. Other, andworse, more abominable, aud more infiunous crimes -siiianot even to bo suggested-arc charged against thoGreek clergy ; tHatis ihe clergy not now subj-ct to theRussian Emperor ; whilst as regards the chui-ch iu Rus-sia , it is truly siiiil by M. Da Lac, in the Unicers, that itU not one whit in u better ov purer stftttf than that inConstantinople.—" VEy lhe rime n'est pus dans un etuimeilltur que sa sccurde Constantinople?'

M. Louis Veuillolt , the writer in the Univers, thusdescribes the condition of tho Catholic.1 in the Russianempire : — , , . , , ! »

'1 he Itussuu Catholic, incarcerated within a hell orice, is doomed no more to receive the sacraments or hischurch—no more to hear the exhortations of his priest.He is doomed to live , and he is doomed to die, with thepolice functionary on one side, who will prevent a realpriest from approaching him, and upon the other a falseGreek priest , who, standing upim a profit ie> .l altar , attho same time outrages his faith and iinults his grief.

THE R ATE OF DISCOUNT .—The TIMES says that inthe present state of afliiirs the probability or other-wise of the Bank of England raising the rate of dis-count to five per cent, must depend entirel y on theextent of the pressure experienced by them from laytoday. It is believed, however, that the intensity ofthe existing panic is regarded as being so much be-yond what conld have been looked for, that any likelyaddition to it would be reluctantly resorted to.

THE QUAR TER 'S REVENUE .—It is understood thattlie revenue returns for the quarter ending the IOthof- October next will show a comparative increasemuch beyond anything recently attained.—[Timai.]

To ih« Editor of the Water ford News.COMMENTS ON DEAN HOARK'S LECTURE ON

POPULAR EDUCATION.FOURTH LETTER.

Sm-In the 19th page of the Dean's lecture, as published, weren-l :—" Iti« furthermore to be considered, that if we continueto ra iie all clasaes in point of education in proportion an you minethe' work-in^ classes, you will keep all ranks of society in theirrelative positions. II?nce the importance of providing institution*)like the Queen's Collets in Ireland for the middle ord-ra.andofimproving the university education for the wealthier classe*concurrentl y with the establishment, nnd the improvement nfnational and other primary schools for the education of tliepoorer classes." Here we find the very rev. lecturer, nsmight be reasonably expected, advocating the whole system ofgovernment education in this kingdom—a system which wasgot up unikr the pretence of enlightening tho people, but in reality to undermine Catholicity—a system which has been lonjjsuspected and finally condemned by the church—a system asainstwhich the Catholics of America and of Europe are now battlingand which lins licen repudiated even by our Catholic fellow-subjec'.s in England, but which Dean Hoare and some of ourlihcml Catholics think Rood enough for Ire'and. I nndertook ina former li-tter to prove that it is unchristian, unjust, partial , andintolerant—and I refer to the extracts given m my last letter fromCardinal Wiseman and Dr. Stapf, showing their ideas on educa-tion, and how far our mere Irish notions are from coming up ti>their standard. If the system be unchristian, it might be safelyconcluded that it is also liable to the other charges. Bm it isunjust on the same principle as the. payment of tithes. For,tlioush the public are made to contributc to the support of thopublic schools,yet manyrannot enter the "models" nnd Queen'sColleges without danger to their faith and repugnance to theirreligious feelings. Or, in plain terms, Catholics must supporttuo church • Ktabhslnncnts and two systems of public instruc-tion that is unjust, partial nnd intolerant

" Education makes the man."So says Dean Hnarc, though he does not define what he means

by education. He merely recommends the government plan ,brine himKdfun admirer of it. So he would give the " makingof the man" into the hands of the creatures of the State .' Whatthen is to be the consequence ? Of course the state wil l " nmkothe man" according to its own image and likeness. We are nil tobecome enlightened place.hunters, quite liberal as to religiousmatters, which , I suppose, means that wa are to be ready to sellany small remnant of religion we may possess, on the most liberalterms anil t i the highest bidder. This government educationwill nlso teach the young idea to shoot with such vigor, that therising generation will become so rational , so enligh tened, nnd HOindependent tlint it will scorn to be kept any longer in leadingstrings hy thrc priests. Such is the hope ol some of our legiila-tors. as may he seen by referring to the congratulations of »nmomi-mb'TS of the House of Lords who stated a year ago " thateducation was doing its work inlrctnnd ,ns the people were everyday throwing r(I their subserviency to the priests."

This is the fact : the clergy had " the making ol the man" inIreland for centuries. Why ? Because the English governmenttook mor^ pains to exterminate the Pap'sts than to educate them.The abbeys and monasteries which were the model schools auduniversities in those days, not only or Ireland bat of Europe, andshame to say it , of England, were handed over in tho mostrational , liberal , and enlightened manner to the predecessors ofDean Hoare , Dr. Daly, and the most orthodox Archbishop ofDublin , iu order that they might eat, drink, and be merry, faresumptuously, and be clothed in putple and fine linen. And sothey hunted the priests, people, and schoolmasters, poor scholarsnnd all "to hellorCnnnaiisht ," until the priests and the rcd wigshad nil the " making of the man'* in those dnyc. But , oh dear,whata man th y made ol it Such a man, that nil En land withher navy, horse, foot, nnd flying artillery could not govern him.They conld hang him as a Terry Alt , or a Captain Rock—drawnnd quarter him as a Cr.tholic bishop—burn , shoot, or triangle himns a rebel , hut it was found hy our modern I<ycurguses that thoQueen, Lords, and Commons could not govern this untamableIrishman made by the cl-rgy ; and he remained " the greatdifficulty " or the humane statesmen of England until—when !Until the devil slyly suggested to his friends in power to take tha" mnking of Ihu man" into their own hands—to steal away thebantling—to catch the priests asle- p—and to educate the youngsavage ns an enlighten d Irish Caw-tho-lick. The consummateprudence of this dertce at once develops itselfin the governmentplans of national schools, models, and colleges. The bishops andpriests urc mesmerised, nr got a generous dose of chloroform.Mnynooth is brought nnd r the soothing iiifhience of mint sauce !but without hcing able to corrupt :ts faith or patriotism. Whena man comes into contact with the golden bait he is generallywatched and suspected ; this put3 him on his triul.andhe is unwil-ling to flinch. But then , see whntn salutary rflVct it I as nn thechurch ! It gives the youthful missioner a taste for the luxuriesand refinements of high life, so that when he <iots toa poor mis-Mon he wonders at the infatuation of the men who refuse agovernment pension. Andns the state paid lor his schooling,Rurclv it is but natural to have him look with complacency ontlint beautiful contrivance for " making the man" in the state,schools and colleges. Thev swallowed the bait.

1 licse national schools arc so uselul , they save it vast deal oftrouble. The pension comes so regularly by post. And there is asnug bit r.f patronage for the manager, and1 that is so sweet, and.has Kiich au intellectual , humanising influence on the fierce Irishcharacter ; and the numerous school houses (with a great deal ofnationality on the Bignhoard , and none at all inaide) give suchair nf civilization to the landscape, that any one breathing tholeast objection to . or rinding the least fnult with the national sys-tem, is put down as an ignorant bigot, nn enemy to enlighten-ment, and one who is entirely behind the spirit of the age.Every bishop and prieat has his national schools now, and themodel schools are in great request. And the clergy imagine thatit is all right—that thrv con manage the system—that they canwatch the schools, and the l>ooks, and the teacherB. If they can,they must he more, clever than the French clergy in the daj-s of\ ollaire. TSo ; they are not able to watch the national system,as they will vet find to their dismay, that themselves and theirflocks are being managed- Thus the most promising boy in thanational school expects to lie promoted and sent to the modelsehool. He, therefore, If c's it his interest to keep on terms withthe parish priest, but he looks up to the inspector. He then goearo the mo lei school, where he need can: little about his pastor,hut he worships the insp-ctor S3 the maker of his fortune expectsto get a nice situation , or in course of time to graduate at thacolleces and he recommended u> government patronage, andplueed on such an en-Jnence as may enable him to took downwith dignity on his old parish priest. But suppose him in a pro-fessor's chair of the colleges—the colleges condemned by thochurch, lleseu about educating young men to be placed overmodel and national schools, who in turn set about showing theyouth of Ir land Ihe way they shouW go to preferment.

" The national system is working well." So it wasstated even by a Cathilic dignitary at the last Synod of'I hurlcB. Yes, it is working well for. infidelity. The bait hasbi*rn swallowed, and the poison is spreading and doing its work.And what nre to he the. results ? Give u man the best posRiblareli gious education with the Jesuits or the Christian Brothera,and will he be too religious ? No one can say that he will ,from >vhat experience proves ; on the contrary, we find that cor-nipt nature often defies all the moral influences. What , then ,are we to expect in the. course nf time from a system in whielireligion is mer ly toh-rated ? In the schools of the ChristiaaBrothers , the children arc taught to pray at the striking of theclock , thus continually sanctifying tneif studies, and payingtheir hourl y tribute of gratitude to fiod. Thi! monotony of studyis relieved by prayer, and Divine love sweetens the labor andforms the habit of attention to the Divine presence. Yet, alterall , none comp lain that Ihe children are too p'ous, or not sow«;ll educated as those who leave the national schools. Whatresults nre we toex|>cct from the national models in which reli-gion is deferred until after hours, if taught at all ? What goodcan come to religion (and wanting that we are nothing) from thewhole; Godless system ? None; but, on the contrary, indiflereutixm, lind ultimately infid'ditv.

" You miy have a good Catholic teacher in a model school."Yes, but he 'may be replaced by a he.rctic. But van the mostpious bless liiiuscllor pruy, as they do in the Catholic schools ?Can he say grace as a Catholic , or bless] himself at the table,when his pupils are pri-scnt. No ; the government system won'tpermit him, uud thus the pupils are taught to worship the powersthat tic , to adore patronage, r/.nmmon, ambition, and the inspec-tor, but if thev pray to God it must indeed be " in secret."

N APOLEON 'S PROPHCCY—rTitE RUSSIAN AND TURK-ISH DISPUTE.—A correspondent of the " MorningHerald" gives the following strangely prophetic re-marks mode by Napoleon Bonaparte so long ago as1817 :—

" In the course of a few years Russia will haveConstantinople, part of Turkey and all Greece. ThisI hold lo be as certain as if it had already takenplace. Almost all tlie cajolling aud flattering whichAlexander practised towards me, was to gain my con-sent to effect this object. I would not consent, foresee-ing that the equilibrium of Europe would be destroyed.

" In the natural course of tilings, in a few yearsTurkey must full to Russia.

" The powers it would injure, and who could op-pose it, arc England , France, Prussia, and Austria.Now as to Austria, it will be very easy for Russia toengage her assistance by giving her Servia and otherprovinces bordering upon the Austrian dominions,reaching near to Constantinople. The only hypo-thesis that France and England may ever be alliedwith sincerity will be in order to prevent thii.

" But even this alliance would not avail. France,England, and Prussia united cannot prevent it. Rus-sia and Austria, can at any time effect it. Once mis-tress of Constantinople, Russia gets all the commerceof the Mediterranean, becomes a great naval power,and God knows what may happen.

" Above all the other po.vers, Russia is the mostto be feared, especially by you.

" All this I foresaw—and I wanted to establish abarrier against those barbarians by re-establishingthe kingdom of Poland, and putting Pouiatowski atthe head of it as King, but your imbeciles cf Minis-ters would not consent.

" A hundred years hence I shall be praised , andEurope, especiall y England , will lament I did notsucceed. When they sae the finest countries in Eu-rope overrun , and a prey to these northern barbarians,thuy will say—' Napoleon was right. ' "— [Napoleon,in conversation with O'Meara , May, 1817.]

DEPARTI-.IE OF THE FLEET .—We learn from theCork Reporter that the fleet left tlie harbor on Fri-day, and the Lords of the Admiralty started for Lon-don. The ship Duke of Wellington proceeds toMalta, the Queen to Plymouth, and the remainder,after having received some reinforcements, which willconsist of the Cressy, screw, 80; Princess Royal, •screw, 91;: James Watt, screw, 91; and ' the .RoyulGeorge, screw, 120, will divide into two diviifons-— • " 'one to proceed to the Baltic aud the other-'to Gib."

TKISTK .\M K I IXS KDV , Esq., M.P.A report from the council relative to the recent

progress and future prospects of the tenant cause ,having been adopt.'d by the meeting after a length-ened discussion ,

Mr. Potter , M.P., moved—" That this conferencedo reailirm the resolution adopted by the conferenceheld on the 8th and <)th September , 1S'»-', as to thelcgislative measures required , and the _ policy thatought to be pursued in the House of Commons bythe independent Irish party in the nex t session."

The Rev. Mr. Dowling/P.P. seconded the reso-lution.

(The original resolutions passed by the Conferencein September , 1852, were as follows :—Resolved—First—" That no Tenant-ri ght Bill which does notfully embody the princi ples of Sharnmn Crawford 'sbill ' can be satisfactory to the country. Second-That it is the unanimous opinion of this Conferencethat it is essential to the proper management of thiscause that the members of parliament who havebeen returned upon tenant-right princi ples shouldhold themselves aloof from and independent of anyand every government that would not make SharmanCrawford's bill n cabinet measure.")

The Rev. Mr. M'Quade, P.P., supported the re-solution. He stated tha t some time ago he remons-trated with a landlord for seeking to evict a tenant ,who, by his skill and capital , had converted his landfrom a'barren wilderness into a good state of culti-vation , and what did they think was his reply ? Hisanswer was, "lie will now have to pay for it"—(hear.)—What was such conduct but robbery andspoliation ; and did not such proceedings call uponthem to demand in a bolder tone that those who hadbeen elected to represent them should follow thecourse decided upon last year by that conference—(hoar.)—The rev. gentleman , in conclusion , readthe following letter from Sir Joh n Fitzgerald , M.P.,and endeavoure d to defend that individual , and Mr.Cornelius O'Brien , M.P., from certain attacks in the" Nation " newspaper upon their proceedings in par-liament :—

Mr. C. G. Dully, M.P., said , in reply to Mr.M'Quade, that the Independent Irish parly expectedthat the men for whom the traged y of Six-mile-brid gewas performed would have been faithful to the peo-ple. But what did they find .' When the sessioncommenced , they found that the two venerablemembers for the county Clare, Sir Joh n Fitzgeraldand Mr. Cornelius O'Brien , were always read y toattend when Mr. Ilayter wanted them ; but whenthe questions of tenant right and religious equalitycame on for discussion , they were absent from theirplaces in the house (hea r, hear. ) These1 gvntlemrnvoted for the income tax , and they did not makeSharman Crawford' s bill a cabinet measure, accor-ding to the terms of their ori ginal, resolution (hearhear.) If such representatives were to he sc-ntback to parliament as popular tribunes , what was tobecome of tenant right i Last year they nil agreedto a resolution of independence towards the govern-ment , and what was tlw interpretation of that reso-lution ? It signified that they were not to be beg-ging places from the government (hear , hear.) Andhere was t!ie Kev. Mr. M'Quade reading a letterfrom Sir John Fitzgerald , which coriirmed underhis own hand the charge preferred against him ofbeing a place beggar (hear, and cheers.)

Mr. Lucas, M.P., said , that two more devotedservants of the government did not exist in theHouse of Commons than these two men , for whosepolitical advancement six miserable peasants wereshot at Six-mile-brid gc. Having read the letter ofSir John Fitzerald , he called on Mr. M'Quade, inthe name of the clergy and people of Clare, to tellthem that these two gentlemen having acted in suchan unworth y manner towards their constituents , andthereby insulted Ireland mid .done their best to trampledown and keep them in their present miserable con-dition , he and the clergy of Clare will make a cleansweep of them at the next election (hear , hear.)

Rev. Mr. M'Quade—1 will speak, the truth.I never take on myself to answer for others who-eop inions I do not liuppcn to know on the question atissue ; but I am justi fied in saying that neither I northe clergy of Clare will be cvnt wanting to the sup-port of the tenant farmers of Ireland and their cause(hear, hear, and oh.)

Mr. Bowyer, M.P., having defined a cabinet mea-sure to be one upon which the government stakedits existence, observed , that if they took an extremecourse of policy on this question of tenant right ,they would not be supported by the great Liberalparty of England , but , losing that support , would bereduced to a position of complete insi gnificance(hear , hear).

Mr. Moore, M.P., would pledge himsel f to give anindependent party opposition to any governmentwhicli did not make the essential princi ples of Shar-man Crawford's bill a cabinet question. Sir HubertPeel, he said, made the corn laws a cabinet question ,when it was carried (cheers).

Mr. Bowyer then moved an amendment , to theeffect , that instead of the word " cabinet " the word" government " be inserted in the second of the ori-ginal resolutions.

Colonel Greville, M.P., thought that such analteration would be fatal to the tenant right question.

Sergeant Slice, M.P., remarked that if they unani-mously agreed to change the word cabinet to theword government , they would be regarded as plainl yintimating to all opposed to them that they were notin earnest. Their former resolutions were good, andthey should be adhered to (cheers).

Dr. M'Kni ght seconded the amendment. At theconference of September , 18.12, he and his friendsfrom the north were almost solitary in their opposi-tion to the. resolutions then proposed , and they nowhad the pleasure to hear the same policy recom-mended by the lion, gentleman (Mr. Jiowyer), whorepresented the borough of Dundalk (lu-nr , hear).A party like theirs oughKto be independent of thegovernment ; but he objected to the system of dra-gnot iitigr men into sitting on a part icular side of theHouse of Commons (hear). They were all agreedthat in order to cany a good tenant right bill, theirparliamentary party ought to be independent of go-vernment , but he moat decidedl y protested againstthe system of dragooning men to sit amongst thosewith whom they had no sympath y, and from whosepolitical op inions they entirel y dissented.

The Rev. Mr. O'Shca—We don 't seek to compelthem (hear.)

Dr. M'Kni ghtbad heard the doctrine repeatedl yaffirmed that the tenant right representatives musttake their seats on the opposition benches—that theymust not do as Mr. Bright and Mr. Cobden did—take their position amongst the Liberal party, butrank themselves amongst the Tory opposition.

Mr. Sergeant Slice said the Irish tenant rightmembers did the best they could , by arguing in theselect committee, and by announcing their intentionto move amendments to the same effect as those ofthe learned doctor. They did their best with theweakened parliamentary strength left them , in conse-quence of the defection in their ranks, to inducegovernment to do that which at last they did. Ik-did not think Dr. M'Kni ght had us many conversa-tions as Mr. Lucas and himself had with Sir JohnYoung and Mr. Napier. The Ulster deputation , whowere backed by the authority of Mr. Crawford, con-tributed to the amendment.

Dr- M'Knigut proceeded to state that Lie ULter de-

putation bad induced government to make variousimportant alterations in their land bills.

Mr. C. Redmond would like to know exactly whatthose alteration s were ? (hear).

Dr. M'Knight—I protest against these interrup-tions (grans.) '

Rev. Mr. Redmond—Let him go on.M. (.'. Redmond—I don 't wish to interrupt the

learned gentleman ; but when I ask a fair question ,I expect a f.iir answer (hear , hear.)

Dr. M'Knight again proceeded to boast of all thatthe Ulster deputation had done in London for tenantright.

Sergeant Shee (amid much laughter) denied thatthe lister deputation had done anything in Londonfor tenant right, lie ssaiil that everything, or nearlyso, was done by bis lion, colleagues (cheers.)

Mr. Dully , and other members, corroborated Ser-jeant Slice's statement. v

Mr. J. M'Namara Cantwell said that if they madethe alteration suggested by Mr. Bowyer they wouldimitate the wisdom of Ulster, but they would becomethe disgrace of mankind (hear, and cheers .)

Mr. SIIAUMAX Ct iAwroK t) said he came there withsome doubt on bis mind whether be would not beregarded as an intruder (no, no.) lie had a doubt,because no intimation was conveyed to him thatsuch a conference was about to be held ; but therequisition was of that large nature, calling together" the friends of tenant right ," that he thoug ht fromthe part he had taken in the question , it was his dutyto be present (hear , hear.) It was true that he hadlaboured most unsuccessfully at this question for anumber of years, and when a man has laboured manyyens without success, perhaps the cause suffers somedepreciation in his hands. He (Mr. Crawford) hadspoken so often upon the subject in the House ofCommons that some persons were in the habit ofcalling his tenant bill " Sharman Crawford's craze ."Now, however, the question had fallen into tliehands of a British lawyer of distinction (SergeantShoe), and it had ceased to be termed " the craze"of any man (hear , bear.) Ho contended that therewas not a princi pal or a provison in that bill whichwas not perfectly just and fair, but at the same limehe was anxious that a too tenacious adhesion to itsprovisions should not prevent the representatives ofIreland from accepting what he considered a greatpractical good—the bill now proposed by the govern-ment with certain amendments and alterations (hear,hear.) AViih regard to the question before the con-ference, he was of opinion that they ought not toalter'aivy resolution to whicli they formerly pledgedthemselves (hear, hear and dicers.). He thought ithi ghl y expedient that when men bound themselvesby pledges those pledges ought to be clearly defined ,and that it should not be placed in the power of anyperson to say that a man had broken a pledge whenhe deviated from its liberal interpretation [hear.]The learned gentleman concluded by observing- thatthe point which he admired most in the governmentbill was, that it gave compensation for improvements,unlimited ns to time or amount [cheers.]

Mr. Potter, M.P., Limerick , was in favour of theold policy of the League, as well as an independentIrish party.

The Rev. Mr. Rogers begged to propose the fol-lowing amendment—" That this conference reaffirmtheir adherence to the princi ples of Sharman Craw-ford's bill , and resolve to use every legitimate effortin and out of parliament to have grafted on the te-nants' compensation bill (which , on the recommen-dation of the government , passed the House of Com-mons last Session) all the essential princi ples of thatmeasure."

The Rev . Mr. O'Shea said the amendment was in-tended as a clap-trap to go back to the North (criesof hear, hear). A substantive resolution not differ-ing much fro m the nmendnu-nt was actually prepared ,and would , no doubt , be affirmed by the meeting atthe proper time (heat -, hear). But it was now broug htforward to bo instituted for another, in order toenable Mr. Rogers and others to go back to tlieNorth , and proclaim that the conference rejecteda most reasonable resolution. Under these circum-stances he thought the resolution should not be putfrom the chair. In tlie abstract they could not diiferfrom it , but as a substitute for the original motion , itwas a bad one (hear , hear). Advantage would betaken of its rejection. Those gentlemen would godown to the North.

The Rev . Mr. M'CulIag li , P.M., was fiifonislied atthe imputation of motives by the Rev. Mr. O'Shea.Nothing could bo more gross and unfounded thanwhat had fallen from that gentleman.

Rev. Mr. O'Shca—I told you that a resolutionsimilar to the one proposed by Mr. Rogers wouldbe submitted to the conference either this eveningor to-morrow, and you could not have an honestmotive in bring ing it forward now (cheers and loudlaughter. )

Rev. Mr. Rogers—I now call on you , Sir , as chair-man , to decide whether he is in order when he chargesme with dishonesty.

Rev. Mr. O'Slica—I did not lisa that word at all.Rev. Mr. Rogers—I appeal to the chairman to de-

cide whether the gentleman is in order.The Chairman—You are at issue ns to the fact.The Rev. Mr. M 'Cullagh said he was glad that

Mr. O'Shea had deemed fit , if not to withdraw , atleast to modify his language, lie fel t great pleasurein seconding the amendment proposed by hii fri endthe Rev. 'Mr. Rogers.

Mr. Potter appealed to the Rev . Mr. Rogers towithdraw his amendment , and let it come forward uaa substantive resolution next day.

Mr. Moore—On the same grounds that I obj ectedto the withdrawal of the other resolution , I obj ect alsoto the withdrawal of this.

Mr. Duffy said that Mr. Rogers and Dr. M'Kni ghthad complained of imputations, but had forgottenthat they themselves commenced the buttle. Theyhad signed a report which cast most unwarrantableimputations on the members of par liament then inthat room. At a former meeting, it would be re-membered that Mr. Rogers promised that if Mr.Keogh and Mr. Sadlier had not gut an undcrtakin «from the government to concede the tenant right hillbefore accepting oflice , he (Mr. Rogers) would him-self in person lead the van of opposition againstthem. Mr. Moore elicited from Lord John Russellthe declaration that he had never given any suchundertaking—(hear , hear.) After that admissionhe (Mr. Duff y) expected to find Mr. Rogers "lead-ing the van " of opposition , but the reverend gentle-man had led no van that any one could tell of, ex-cept tlie van of northern deserters from the League.

Mr. Cadogan—Perhaps it was the caravan he led(laughter «nd cheers.)

Mr. Duf fy perhaps he did that too (laughter) ; thevan of those whose object seemed to be to damageand slander the friends of tenant right in par liament—(cheers.) A report had been published to whichwere aflixed the names of Dr. M'Kni ght , Rev. Mr.Rogers, and Rev. Mr. M'Cullag h. Mr. Dull y thenproceeded to defend Mr. Lucas against the attackmade upon that gentleman in the report, an attackwhich Mr. Dufl y described as totall y groundless ,lie reviewed the attack , and commented upon itfrom point to point , and described it as being asdistant from the sober truth AS the " Arabian Ni ghts 'Kntertainments "—¦(laughter.)—Mr. Dufly went onto say th at the spirit ol' this attack had been per-sisted in up to the very eve of this meeting. In oneof the last number* of the " Baniiar of Ulster" thatgentleman declared that certain of the independentparty severall y urged upon the government to aban-don all legislation on the land question in the lastsession , and we re the chief obstruction to a reasona-ble settlement of it. This statement was utterl y atvarience with the facts (repeated cheers).

Dr. M'Kni ght said he came to that meeting witha firm determination that unless provoked to it hewould not make an allusion that could by any possi-bility be the means of causing any dissension ; but hewas not long there before a numb er of matters werebroug ht forward involving his character for veracityin a very serious degree. He was now in the eighthyear of his tenant rig ht agitation , which he had con-ducted up to that moment , in a great degree, at hisown personal expense, lie also came to that meet-ing at his own personal expense.

Mr. Cadogan—Wh y we all did that man (cries ofyes, yes, and hear , hear)

Dr. M'Kni ght—-Now with respect to the reportfrom the Ulster deputation , if Mr Dufl y or the con-ference thoug ht right to appoint a time and place forthe investigation of the matter , there was not a factin that report which he was not prepared tei substan-tiate and prove (oh , oh.) Let them challenge himto do that. He would do more. He would givethem histories that he never intended to have statedthere (cries of go en.) He would enlighten theeyes of the people (murmurs and confusion.) Hecould state who it was of the independent Irish partythat went to a leading member of the government toask him not to allow any legislation on tenant-rightto take place last session, but to let it stand over(loud and repi-aU'cl cries of name.)

Mr. Rogers here attempted to address the meet-ting, but was met with loud criesof spoke, and order,and was for some tiine unable to make himself heard.The reverend gentleman persisted, and declared thathe would not permit himself to be put down—thathis character had been assailed , and that he insistedon his right to defend himself. Ultimately,

The Chairman decided that if Mr. Rogers bad anexplanation to make affecting his personal character,he was at liberty to address the meeting.

Tlie Rev Mr. Rogers said that Mr. Duffy hadread a report from the Ulster deputation , and certainarticles from the " Banner of Ulster," with the in-tention of charging him (Mr. Rogers) and bis friendswith certain misdemeanours. Now, he contendedthat he had a right t<v introduce them to a portraitgallery given huhe "Tablet ," of the Presbyterianse>f the North , in which they are represented as every-thing short of cut-throats and cannibals—(loud criesof order.)

Several gentlemen rose to order, and contendedthat Mr. lingers was irregular in referring to articlespublished in the "Tablet/ 1

The Chairman decided that the rev. gentlemanwas out of order , the articles in the "Tablet" havingnothing whatever to do with Mr. Duffy, to whosespeech he was then reply ing.

The amendment was then put, and negatived byan overwhelming maj ority, there being but fourhands held up in favor of it.

The original resolution was then adopted.Mr. Lucas challenged Dr. M'Knight to name the

member of the Irish porty to whom he referred , inorder to afford that member an opportunity of an-swering the accusation—(hear.) If the name w.isnot stated , the charge could 'not be answered—(louelcries of hear, hear, and name.)

Dr. M'Kni ght—Let a resolution be passed , call-ing on me to name, and I will do so—(oh.)

Mr. Swift , M.P.—A resolution is unncccsssary —you arc called on by the meeting t<i name—(hear.)

The Chairman saidl he would not delay any longerbut he would put the question. The amendmentwas then put and lost—there being only four handsheld up in its favor—those of Dr. M'Knight, Rev.Mr. Rogers, Rev. Mr. M'Cullag h , and another gen-tleman whose name wo could not ascertain. 1

The original resolution was put and carried , amicloud cheering, the onl y dissentients being the gentlcmen who voted for the amendment.

Mr. Lucas then moved that Dr. M'Knight b<called upon to name the Irish member to whom IKhad referred.

Mr. Swift , ^f.l\ , seconded the resolution , whiclwas put and earned.

Dr. M'Kni ght said the circumstance to which hereferred was this :—AVhen tne tenant right measurecame to be the subject of legislative consideration , amember of the Irish party—(name, name)—went toSir John Young, who represented the government ,and acted under the instructions of the cabinet—(name, name)—and used a number of arguments,the object and tendency of which was to induce SirJoh n Young for various considerations

Mr. C. Redmond—Answer the question in oneword ; we don 't want long qualify ing speeches at thislate hour (hear, hear).

Dr. M'Kni ght continued nmid confusion—And forsome reason or other , to postpone all attempts atlegislation during the past session, ami let the thingdrop in the meantime (name, name.) That personwas Mr. Lucas (derisive cries of oh , oh , and laughter.)

Mr. Lucas—Who told you that ? (cries of hear,hear.) Before an answer is given I pronounce thewhole story from beginning to end to be an unmiti-gated lie (cheers.)

Dr. M'Kni ght—I pronounce , em the other hand ,that in the lobb y of the House of Commons Mr. Lucasdid admit to me that he had had such a private inter-view with Sir John Young, and also excused himselfand gave a variety of reasons which , he said , inducedhim to think the course was the most expedient forthe tenant right cause.

Mr. Lucas—After the experience you have had ofthe veracity of the statements—(oh , oh , from theRev. Mr. Rogers), hear me, if you dare—after theexperience you have had of the voracity of the state-ments comiii sr from that quarter , I need say li t t lemore than that the statement now made conies fromIhe same quarter to enable you to know how to treatit , and what to believe of it (hear , hear.) I cail uponDr. M'Kni ght to name his authority for his originalstatement.

Dr. M'Kni ght—It is for Mr. Lucas to deny it.Mr. Lucas—I call upon Dr. M'Kni t rht to give his

authority for the original statement , because it it isone which by its nature did not come from himself ,and with regard to which he mi ght be mistaken. l iepretended to speak of a conversation that { hael withthe Chief Secretary, at which I presume he was notpresent.

Dr. M'Kni ght—f was not (loud laughter).Mr. Lucas—I warrant you that (hear, hear , and

laughter). His veracity was in no respect pledgedto the original statement. He might have been toldit.

Dr. M'Knight—I was.Mr. Lucas—I was anxious to know upon whose

authority it was made ; but for the second statementI have his own authority. If that statement is false ,In; is the better of the falsehood. If the imputationis unvcracioiis he is guilty of uuveracity (hear , hear).If he is not believed in the- last statement , neither istei be credited that any bod y told him the formerfalsehood. I there have two lies with one neck , andwith Oiie blow I 'll behead them both (hear , hear , andlaug hter). The statement which Dr. M'Kni ght hasnow madu is the most unmeasured falsehood I everheard (loud cheers)—it is not true—(hear hear). Itis nothing like the truth. It has no foundation ; infact, there is not an clement of truth in it. It is allthe invention of that wicked mind (loud and con-tinued cheering-).

Mr. Moore said that Dr. M'Knight asserted in the" Banner e)f Ulster" that he (Mr. Moore ) had soughtthe app ointment of Chief Secretary for Ireland. Healso denied that statement in the public papers ; andhe called on Dr. M'Kni ght to state whether he everapolog ised for that falsehood , and , secondly, on whatauthority he relied ? (hear , hear).

Dr. M'Kni ght—You have contrived very dexte-rously to put me on my trial. I never stated thatyou went to solicit the oflice of Chief Secretary ;but I f u y that , after the accession of the Aberdeengovernment to power , the lion, member for Mayo wasthe: first to wait on them to pay his respects.

Mr. Moon;—I say that is untrue , and utterl y with-out foundation (loud cheers). I never communi-cated with them directl y or indirectl y (beers).

Dr. M'Kni ght—I gave it on the authority of aparliamentary correspondent who was in the habit ofgathering up chit-chat (laug hter , and cries of shame).

Mr. Cadogan—You may go home to the Northnow , old boy ; you anel your friends are found out atlast (hear , hear , and laughter.)

Mr. Moore—It was not published as a rumour ,but given as a statement which he was challenged todeny.

Tlio conference then adjourned to eleven o'clockem Wednesday.—(From the Dublin E. Mail and ourown reporter.)

SIXOXI) DAY.On the second day the four Northern clergymen

did not come, and the re-sult wan , that a great am-ount of business was gone through. They sat downto work like " bankers over their desks."

TII C soiieuu.In the evening a soiree was held in the Rotundo ,

J. M'Loughlin , Esq., of Dublin , in the chair. Thegreat rouin was crowded. Dr. (/ray, Mr. Duffy ,Sargeant Shee, Mr. MacMahon , Mr. Kenned y, Mr.Moore , and Mr, Lucas, addressed the meeting inpowerful speeches. They one and all counselled thethe people to adhere to the independent Irish partyas their only saving power, and conj ured theirhoarer.sto "root out" every government candidate inIreland at the next election. When the names ofSadlier , Keogh , and others of that class were men-tioned , they were received -.vith groaning and his-sing again and again renewed. Tea and coffee werethe strongest beverages allowed , so you see thepeople were in earnest. A vocal performer enlivenedthe eve'iiing by appropriate instrumental music.About 12 o'clock all separated.

Tlie " Globe" of Wednesday even-ing endeavours to show that it would lit ; premature teconsider the decision of the Grand Council at Con-stantinople as an actual declaration of war, without ,however, mentioning any fact to sustain that view.Our coteniporary says :—

DECLARATION' OF WAR HV TURKEYAGAINST RUSSIA.

( From the Morning Chronicle.)" V IEXVA , M ONDAY .— Advices from Constantino-

ple, elated the 27th , contain the nmst important news.The Divan , at the Grand Council he 'ld tiiat day, re-solved upon a declaration of war against Russia. Re-port says that hostilities have alread y begun. Lastni ght the Emperor of Austria left suddenl y, with thel'rince of Prussia , for Warsaw, where the King otPrussia will meet them."

" Against the advice of the four peTwers, the Sul-tan has signed the declaration of war."

( I ' rom the Ohbe).In giving the foregoing important intelli gence, as

published by our cotumporary , we ' would inereivstate that, although our own information does notautliori.se us so corroborate the main fact of a decla-ration of war, it is of a nature to warrant us in plac-ing every credit in the statement. That the Sultanhad on thu 27th convoked a Grand Council , consist-ing of 120 of the princi pal ministers, councillors,pachas, and others—that the emestion of peace andwar was submitted to them by him , ami that theyhad decided in favour of the latter alt. rnative ; aflthis is beyond a doubt. Such being the case, ourreaders will easily see that all the probabilities arein favour of the correctness of the main feature ofthe intelli gence communicated by the " Chronicle."

Other accounts inform iu that at the Grand Coun-cil dt .-.sp ilerhes from Omer Pacha wc-re trad , tip 'entlvcounselling war before the winter should set in"

It is also stated that Prince Gortschake.ff wasmoving troops as if he intended to cross the Danubefor the purpose of attacking the Turkish position atRoustehouk.

CATH0LIC1TT IN NEW YORK{Correspondence of the Waterfoid News.)

New York, -September 19th , 18">3.MY DEAR SIR — I now purpise giving you the promised

letter on Cutholic affairs in this city, but ibr thus delayingit so long, I triut you will pardon me.

As a commercial city. New York threatens to attain oneday the highest position in the world. Its commerce atpresent is such as to excite tho nsbaishment of any one buta Yankee, for he wonders at n-thing, not even the do-straction of human life by locomotive celerity. Frominsignificance at the beginning of the present eenturj, ithas grown to its present greatness. But after examiningwhat hrs produced this great prosperity, one is not tomuch astonished ai'ter all. For, from the celebrated" declaration of independence," to this elay every thingwould seem to have conspired to produce these results.But there is in New York another fact—a moral , livingmiracle, if you will, which is still more deserving of ouradmiration—still more calculated to call forth our asto-uishmeut I mean the position of the Catholic church atthe present moment. Ju creating Msvuhatton Island , onwhich New York is situated , naturo would seem to havespecially intended it for the greatest emprium of theworld , and, in a corresponding spirit , man wouli scornto have acted in order to attain that result . Then , whileeverything seems to havo consp iro l to advance theworldly prosperity of New York, on the contrary, every-thing seems to have as zealously combined to retard thepropagation of the gospel, the progress of the Catholicchurch.

Near the close of th? last centu ry, the New Yorklegislature of that day , in framing laws Ibr the manajr .-mentof church property, would lead one to believe thatthey never contemplated evtn the existence of the Catho-lk church ; f»r whilst aniplu provision was made forchurches' or" different Protestant sect.-", not one word ismeiitioiifi<l alj out tho Catholic church. This notoriousfact •!»» be seen in the statute books of this state1. Well ,what is the fact now ? TIIK faot, is that , notwithstandingall the worldl y influence—and some of themselvesacknowled ge that they have not much spiritual power —t'lat Protestantism , aided by infidelity and au army ofother auxiliaries, had , uii'l has slill at its disposal,out of nearly 800,00'J inhabitants, including the suburbandistricts , the one-third at least arc Caiholics. TheCatholic church possesses iu this city :) -2 elcg-inily fit ' edout churches, including Crooklyu and U'illiamsburg,which bear the same rela 'iou to NewYn 'k that Ferry-bank doi-3 to the Urhs Inluctn. In addition to thesethere are eight conventual establishments, whose mem-bers, as everywhere else-, conduct abnul twenty schools ,besides taking charge of various orphanages ami asylums.

To visit any of these churches on Sundays, and seethe unnstcntatious piety of the congregation , tlie num-bers that approach tlie most Holy Sari'aiiicut. thei r forvoui' uinl pure unsophisius itcl devotion , would almostmake mi Iiish practical Catholic believe himself againhel'i i ie one of the alta rs of bis n:it :ve land , if his eyes didno! assnrc him that this magnificent assembly of thefaithful , so I'leg.'iutl y dress^'l , an I so liappy-loj ktir. $, Wasnot to bo seen in Irdand, save in lar^c cities , and eventhere itself , lm would see a great many things to romim!him of tliesui )'criii!;s p'lor Iielii t ul has undergmc , and thetyranny of thai o!igj .iciiical clique w/io have CJU .-;CJ ,s:>much of it.

Hs to the iilea , of the Irish, or even a small portion ofthorn becoming apostates when they come here , a state-ment nude by his parliamentary spiritualize 1 lordshi p,Dr. D.ily, in his place in the House of Lor-ls some tiin.-since, thero is no more foundation for it. th in that hislordshi p can claim to be tlio lawful opiscup.il snecesw tothe , illustrious martyr.

If there , be, in connection wi h thU subject , one. thingmore than another calculate:! to excite one's admirationtunl astonishment , it is the cheerfulness and lib. ralitywith whicli the Catholic , no mattsM* how liar- l he earnsit , comes foi ward to contribute to the advancement of anypiijuct , haviug for its eiv 'l the j voteetion of morality , ortin: viropiig.iiiou of the jogpcl. ilenco tho roason why sonmuy edifices tiro possesse l here by the i:liurcli ; hencethe rap idity with which they spring into existence.

THOMAS F. STRANGE, Esq , Mayor, in tne chair-Aldermen M. Slaney, S. Phelan, R. Cooke, Ow<mCarroll ; Councillors Sir Benj. Morris, J. A BlakSimon Newport, Richard Phelan, P. A. Power JolMackesy, John E. Feehan, Andrew Ryan Thomo"Clarke,

Mr. T. F. Carroll having read the minutesThe Mayor said the first business in order 'was ftconsideration of the contemplated line of railway

from Waterford to Dungarvan and Lismore, $c.Captain Newport moved, and Dr. J. Maelcjsy se-conded, that Mr. Edward N. Barron, solicitjjj fc a

was in attendance , should be heard on the sul/y|pjAMr. Barron then made the following statemen nV

addition co what we published last week : The railway now contemplated would connect Waterford withCork by Youghal, for which purpose a bill is at pre.sent in existence, and the line would have reachedDungarvan by this time, if the funds had been jud i-ciously managed. The sum of £95,000 had beenswallowed up in parliamentary expenses. Therewere two courses open to the projectors of the pre.sent line—either to make an arrangement with theCork an;l Waterford Company, purchase up the Wa-terford interest in that line, and apply for an exten-sion of time , or get a new act , on the j oint guaranteeof the city and county. ' There are two years of thetime to exp ire of the act now in existence. SirRichard Musgrave is taking active measures andLord Stuart is equally interested in the line fromDungarvan to Waterford. A requisition has justbeen issued, signed bv the most influential gentlemenin the county and city, requesting a public meetingof the ratepayers of the county and city , of Water"ford at Dungarvan on Saturday next , the 8th instan t,to further this most important undertaking (hear,hear). My object in attending the Council is prin-ci pall y to urge on you to senel a deputation to Dun-garvan from this bod y to co-operate with those gen-tlemen who are taking such a deep interest in thescheme, and in which the interests of Waterford areso intimately connected. It woul d take £210,000 tocomplete the line, one-half of which would come onthe line, and tho other half on the lauded proprie-tary, which would be onl y 2d., and which would bestill further reduced by fie recei pts going for interest;so that in about twenty years you would have a freeguarantee. There would be 21 directors, II for tnecounty, and 10 for the city, if it is thought properto join in the guarantee , to watch over the interest}of the line, anel see there will be no unnecessary ex-penditure. The lino would cost about £5,000 a mile,and Mr. Brett , county insp-.-ctor , told me that thereare no eng ineering dilHculties in the way. They sawlatel y comp leted ' seven l-'.nglish miles of railway(Tramore), at £.-)()00 per mile. It is contem-plated to run the iiitendod line for ;5J miles onthe Trnmore line , and t ten branch oif, and bekept as nearl y as possible on tlie coast line of ro.nlalread y purchased bv the county, whicli is now partlyined Cor tra 'K;:, and partl y incomp lete to Dungarvan ,ill id fio'ii thence on or near to o;ia of tho parallellines which ma from Dungarvan to LUinore, andwhicli i.-i well supp lied with material for constructinga line of rail. The project has been submitted to .Mr.Darg.in , in Dublin , and he is willing to carry it out ,if supported fhear). I may mention that some step3have br-'.'ii taken towards a preliminary survey . Tlienumber of inhabi tants in the towns which would beconnected with Waterford (Fermoy, Mallow , Cappo-q'lin. Lisinore , Dmij rarvan , &c.,) "is about 240,000,and the rich valley of the Htackwater would bebronirht to our vorv elonrs. I am happy to say thatthe Watcrfi ird aud D'. ingaivan line will have the sup-port of tlie Waterford and Limerick a-ul Waterfunland Kilkenny companies , ami tlv intera.it of theKuarli sh Great Weu '.'rn and South W.ilosl-ne- ;. Mr.IJ irron th?n stated that it would b<? n - .-c.-ssary to haveall the plans and survey* ni-uls an;! lo:lg?d b.'fore tli2.'JOlli of November , and urged upon the Council thewj esMty of prompt measures to prevent the scheme!rom Clonmel to Cappoquiti , which would b<; highlydetrimental to the eonimciv.ial interests of (his city,curryinrj away tho tr affic , as he hrf-ire -ib -i t- i-vcd , of alarge and fertil e district fro:» W.-.tcrtord to Dublin.He rccomm<*udi >d the *brniaii: > :i ot' n \y .Tic.i ii.'iit ciai-mittes to act i:i earry ini; nut tii • obj ect , as tlu-re w.-nno time- to be lost , an-'i thus secure for the city otWater ford all the a'!vant..-t's which ~\h: Sanderson."sschiMiie would deprive- thorn of, anl the line to J)iin-girvan should Ji'ive t!i> : bj st consi.lumtiori :i:i<l sup-port of every parson wl.o hat! tha interest and wel-fare of the city and count " at heart (Iwir , hear).

Mr. ("lark" cordiall y coiicum- l in the prop osition ,hut !u- , like Capt. Newport , would not bo able to gowith thf deputation on S iturday to 'Duiigarvau.

dipt. Newport moved for a committee , who woiil.lapp oint a deputation t ; > atte -m- the meeting in Dilli-tVirvan. T!ie greater porti.m uf t!ie Waterford amiLimerick railway directors , lit - said , - were in favor eitthe prop >sed line , and there were two of them in thecouncil who should be on the committee.

The Mayor suggested that as the directors of theWaterford and Liuu-riek railway were known to hein favor of tlie projpct , would it not be well to li-tth 'Mn us* their influence as such directors, and ap-point new men from the council .'

Mr. H.irroii—Men who will take an interes t in thematter and who will work should be appointed on thecommittee.

Mr. Feehan—However anxious tlie committeemay be to work , they can do very little without theguarantee of tho city and county.

Mr. B:irroa—There is a great deal which they cando before they obtain that. If a requisition emanatefrom the council , the high sheriff will call a meetingof the grand panel. It is necessary that we shouldhavo all preparations made by th coOth of Novemberor we will have to wait a year to get an act passed.

Dr. Mackesy suggested that all the- grand jurors inthe council should be appointed on the committee, a*they could >.'ive effective assistance.

Mr. Denny—If I go now anel pledge myself tothe support of this line, how can I go into the grandju ry room and take the oath to act without bias ? Itwould be better if it was outside the ij rand jur y .

After some further discussion and diflicnlty in get-ting members to act , the following committee was ap-pointed , on motion of Dr. Mackesy, seconded by Capt.Newport :—The Mayor , Dr. Mackesy, Sir BenjaminMorris , Henry Denny, M. Slaney, 1'. Cox; J. Lalor,Owen Carroll , and T. Clarke.

Mr. Clarke* said that the committee appointed forthe purpose had searched everywhere and were una-ble to obtain a suitable site.

("apt. Newp ort said that now when the severeweather WAS setting in , a subscri ption should be madeto purchase coal and sell it at a moderate price to lliepoor, as nothing was more desirable for health andcomfort than warm feet and dry clothing.

Mr. Slaney said that the treasurer of the reliefcommittee of "-17, Mr. Joshua Strangin an , hud to biscredit in the bank a balance since that time of about£53, which he will be happy to give up when calledon for it.

liability of unoccup ied houses not connected withland , which stated that a case was now before the su-rior court which would decide the mn'ter.

A long document fro m the commissioners relativeto the necessary precautions , some of which werehighly amusing, espceiallyto a penny less pauper , tobe taken , to prevent the spread of any ep idemicwhich may visit the country. A discussion ensuedrelative to the propriety of having 1,000 c:ip;esprinted . Dr. Mackesy and Mr. Dillon arguing for,and Mr. l'eehan , Mr. Quinu , Mr. Cavri gan , andothers against creating alarm , ns they were certainthat document would. Referred to the workhousephysicians , they to report whether they thought itnecessary to have it printed.

A report was read from the physician , Dr. Fitzpatrick , to whom the tenders for medicine of DrHarrington , Waterford , and Dr. liolyea , of Dublinwere referred. The report stated that Dr. Har-rington 's tender was under the oilier in many items,and Dr. 11. was according ly declared contractor.

A letter was read from Mr. Fortun e, cloth hall ,relative to a tender and .-'amp le of his which he seniin last board day, and which wore sent home withoutbring opened.

The Chairman explained to Mr. Fortune 's messen-ger that the oversight occurred from the fact that thetender was not properl y endorsed , and was not seenuntil the board was about breaking up.

An agriculturist was ordered to be advertised forthe present oflicer having resigned.

Mr. Andrew Ryan appeared before the. board andstated th.it a contract had been entered into with himlo supp ly the house with .'JO gallons of milk per day ;t!ie first day he broug ht 150 gallons they were received ,and the next day 20 onl y were received and 10 senlback. Mr. R yan said he would not give less thanthe number of gallons contracted for , as he couldnot do so now when milk is cheap, and after Chri st-inas , when mill ; will be dearer , to compel him to sendin thirty.

The Chairman argued that Mr. R yan was, i.i ac-cordance with the advertisement , bound to supp lymilk " in such quantities as the board may require. "Such mistakes, he said, always arise will i new con-tra ctors , and he thoug ht evervt.iing would work Letu-rlienveforward.

Mr. R yan said the hoard should agree to t ike acertain number of gallons each day, or he would notsupp iv them with any.

The Chairman said that if the h:iar.l agreed withi iim they would not allow him to give up bis co ltraet ,¦\ud it w .iuld b. ' imp'iss'hle. the number s vary so mucha the house , to tell the quantity of milk thai wouldi:.' required each day.

Mr. Itvaii then retired , saving that he would sondno more milk , and (hut ha would make the board payfor what they had taken.

A report was read fro m the inianc fi committee , re-commending that the city collectors he urged tobrin <r in sp-.'cdi lv the arrears of last rate , and recom-mending the paym ent of sums amount ing to <£ I.S I.'iHis. 10:1.

Mr. Cadogan 's motion , relative to the appointmentmade last day of Dr. Cavit as medical inspector ofnuisances, for one month , at a salary of il'20, havingbeen t illed up, and that member being absent ,

Mr. Fcehaii said that if Mr. Cadogan was present ,and that "if any action should be taken in the mat-ter ," as the Yankees say, he would support it. liebelieved the appointment was illegal , unnecessary,and with out precedent. He was at the board lastThursday until half-past two o'clock , and ho heardnothing up to that hour ol' I he intention of the hoardto make the appoin tment. Tin; clerk even knewuothinr ; of the intended appointm ent , for when he(Mr. Feehan) was retiring, he asked that oflioer, aswas his wont , whether (here was anything ?lse tocome on , and be was answered in the negative ; hewould ther efore say that Dr. Cavet was appointed asthe nominee of Dr. Macke sy and not of the. board.Though be believed there was no more fit gentlemanfor th.' olfica than Dr. Cavet , yet he thought at leastone week' s notice should be given , and other partiessl iirild have an opportunity of app ly ing, if theywished. lie consider ed it unfair lo pay the n:cdi calnfiicer of the house, whose aid'.ious dutirs thev allknew of, attending the M - k th t i lv , onl y i.'2.> fur halfi year, and to pay £20 for one mouth lo one af thesame profession merely for enquiring where nui sancespxist cdai id where they did not exist. I:i conclu sionMr. Feehan expressed a wish thai it would be notedthat he h id the hi ghest respect for Dr. Cavit ; thathe ln-lioved no better app ointment co;dd be made ifsuch an ofliciM- wen? required , as there was no manmore att entive or obl i sfin ^ to th : j > >or.

Tile Chairman said that tho subject was broughtii]) at last ine' ting after Mr. Feeban left by a ri nortbeing read from Mr. Hamilt on , P. L. 1., recommend-ing the appo intment of an inspector of nuisances.—lie himself had doubts at the time of the appoint-ment as to the propriety or legality of the act ; but ,as it had been proposed and urged by t -.vo guardiansfrom the division interested (Messrs.

The subject then dropped , and the board soonafter adjourned.

Awful ('ataslrop lio on :i Uaihva)DEsriu rnox ov Tin: ACCIDENT — A V I E W OK THE

I'l.ACE AFTER THE OCCt !l:KE.V"E , &C.(I) i/ our own Correspondent.)

When going up to Dublin from Waterford orMonday, little did I imag ine that I would have towitness on Thursday such a scone of desolation anccarnage as I will now briefly describe, from personalobservation and otherwise :—About dusk on Wed-nesday evening an express train fro m Cork , carry ingfirs t and second class passengers stopped suddenl y(caused it is said by the breaking of the piston-rod) at a small station within 12 miles of Dublin ,named Strailan. Whilst some of the oflicers of thecompany (Great Southern and Western) were tryingto rectif y the damage and prepare the engine forfurther progress, Mr. Fisbbourne , of Dublin , hiswife, and other passengers left the carnages andwalked about the road. l>ut , on perceiving whatthey supposed to bo a railway train advancing to-wards them , nearl y all except Mr. F. and bis wifere-ontrre d the train which they had left. There wasa heavy mist at the time. Hut scarcely had the}'taken their seats when a luggage train was beyonddoubt observed almost at hand , running on the samerail and in the same direction at a speed of about 40miles an hour ! In an instant she struck the stationarycarriages—oh , what a shock—it was like a clap of thun-der—the engine entered the carriages with as great ve-locity as a cannon ball would pierce ahidf-inch board—on she ploughed , amid wild and awful cries princi-pally from the few that were outside , till she passedright throug h all the carriages (S in number) but twoor three and the locomotive , which she flung aside,L'ontinuing her pace along the rails for about half amile bevoud llie Strafl'an station. At this time theliving the dying and tho dead wore amongst a heapof broken carriages—Mr. Jell y, a largu grazier , withhis head off— another with his fraini* bruised—anotherflit into piecemeal—another with a hand severed—iinother without legs—and , :;s if to crown this clie.ul-ful scene of wretchedness , two ladies , beautiful eroa-Inrmi , were literall y cut in twain across the waist !As soon, however, as a little order was restored allw)io snrvircd and were able to assist did wh.it layin their power to extricate the bodies and alleviatethe .-<uiTi 'rings of those who were in agony—14 arenow dead and (» or 8 wounded , about the half ofwhom are not expected to recover. All this and agreat deal more 1 heard from a gentleman who was«ived and who arrived at Kingsbrid ge station at 12o'clock on same ni ght. 1'mt I will tell you what IJid S':o with my own eys :—

(Jn the following morning I loft Dublin by the 7a.m. train for Waterford. At this time tho reporthad passed through'thc city like electricity—th e peo-ple were appalled , and those who were in the stationand about proceeding on their journey, looked sullenand disheartened. We, however , proceeded onwardwith great caution (caution too late) till we reachedthe fatal Strafi'.in. Here on the right-hand side o!'the load we beheld what ?—shall I call it a wreck?Why a shi pwreck would afford no idea of it. Ithardl y deserves the title—it is not sufficientl y ex-prassive—because almost every board, &c, belong-ing to the ill-fated carriages were broken into stavesand splinters nnd strewed about the margin of the road.Here were the mangled bodies of a dozen humanbrings stretched (dead) alongside a wall with asmall piece of tarpaulin over them—from the windowsof our carriages we saw their hands , their feet , andwhat seemed their features—two policemen guardedthem , till the coroner should have arrived , withfixed bayonets !—a piece of the chimney next caughtmy eye—then 1 beheld the locomotive which didall the mischief , its front gone, its bolts and machi-nery, some of which lay on the road , were exposedlike the body of an animal in process of dissection.After it stood a luggage van , one second-class, andone lirst-elas:) carriage in a pretty fair state of preser-vation , save and except the extreme end of tho latter ,which reminded me of a handsome-painted housewhose gable-end had , by fire or some other dreadfulelement , been torn away. But below this all waschaos—here was a piece of roof—there a fine cushionsurmounted by a disjointed wheel—an iron axle bentin the form of a horse-shoe, &c, &c.—a large num-ber of persons looking on with mournful countenan-ces, whilst oflicers and operatives connected withthe line were vi gorousl y at work piling the rubbishand clearing the away before us. I need hardly sayour driver " let oil' his steam " here—we were creep-ing on at snail's pace, the workmen cry ing out—"you have not room to pass yet gentlemen , keep inyour heads." The road being cleared , we departedfrom the scene of death to Waterford at a rapidpace , all of us feeling in our hearts that if railwayshave effected a great deal of good, they have like-wise done a great deal of harm. Lord and Lad y(iuillainore saved themselves bv falliutr flat on theflour of the first class carriage. A lad y having fourMiiall children was killed , and it was awful , I learn ,to see her little ones screaming over her dead bod y.Another lad y, though her life was spared , is a maniac ,and a third told a friend of mine that she herselfwould never recover the shock.

As thi; inquest is now being held I will refrainfrom comment ; but if the company br> found want-ing in the observance of due caution 50 or £'00,000will , I learn , hardl y cover their expenses. In anycase they will be great losers ; but who or what isto recompense for the lives of so many human beings?May I never behold a traged y so real , awful , andheart-rending again. - C. It.

I'.S.—One of :he officers of tho company told methat the locom otive of the luggage train so burieditself in the passenger train , that it took two engineslo draw it out. At all events a collision — ora meeting of two eng ines—would be iii fini fely pre-ferable to that| which occurred at Strafl'an. Coun-sellor Walsh , Mr. Cadogan , and other citizens ofWaterford, witnessed the scene as well as I did.The names of the passengers are not yet ascertained.

WATKKFORD LUNATIC ASVLUM.A very iir.ji )rt:int letter , signe-l "A Ratepayer ," has

arrived an'l i* in type, relative to the management, expen -diture , &c, of this establishment. All the argumentsarc well fortified by fi gures from nutlient ic reports.From a j iressure of other matter which was in hand.-ibefore it , we are obliged to crush it out. ; but it shallappear in our next, when the public will read, and nodoubt judge for themsclvos.

RAILWAY MEETING: ") \¦: ~.i \\''¦ '¦' ' '"'' ' VCTTOU

1 Tlie railway meeting convened for to-morroir in Dun-garvan, will, it is expected, be an imposing demonstrationin favor not only of speed in travelling, but still far moreimportant^the welfaro and prosperity of this county.We said before naw that every county in Ireland will

have its railways, and, should Waterford be last in theprogressive chase, it may then *be too lato to bring up herlost ground. To have a railway, it is only nrcessary toWILL it Now therefore is the time to oxhibit that will,to show our strength , to put forward our determination.If hal f tho men of influence possessed the energy of Mr.E. N. BARHOM on this question, we would travel on therails to Dungarvan and Lismoro in less than 12 mouths.

THE MEETINGS IN DUBLIN.The meetings held in Dublin this week in favour

of a tenant right bill , and in support of the inde-pendent Irish party and their principles, were vastexhibitions of popular strength . Place -huntingmembers may, if they please, satisfy their con-sciences by laying the flattering unction totheir souls, that by accepting place they willbe enabled to raise themselves and their country to-gether. But, if they had only witnessed , as we did ,the crowded meetings of the Tenant League andRotundo, they would not attempt to assert that thegreat body of the people—nay, that any portion ofthe people—thoug ht with them. Both assemblageswere—with three solitary exceptions—unanimous insupporting independent opposition to all governmentsthat will not concede the full measure of justice toIreland ; and above all they seemed resolutely deter-mined to use all the appliances in their power to turnout of parliament every slavish government sup-porter at the approaching elections.

B^"The report on our fourth page of the halfyearly meeting of the Waterford and Tramore rail-way is full of interest for all readers. It will be seenfrom the statement of the chairman , Sir James Dom-braiiv, that the eng ines at present on the line, which,have been the subject of much complaint, arc onlyplaced there temporary. The company propose,,amongst other contemplated improvements , to offerinducements to parties to build , for the purpose of in-creasing the population in that town and therebylugmenting the traffic. Read the report.

THE VIADUCT AT GRF.NACII .—By advertisement itwill be seen that rapid progress is being made in thecompletion of the Waterford and Limerick and Wa-terford and Kilkenny railways from Dunkitt to Fer-rybank , the viaduct at Grenagh being now nearl yfinished. The rapid progress in the . construction ofthis viaduct since its rc-cotnnienccnient by Mr. Dar-gan shows that he has employed active and expe-rienced persons to execute these works, which are ofa character equal to any other of the kind on theline. The super structure is in length nearly GOOfeet, and such is the nature of the ground that pilesfrom 40 to 50 feet in length were driven for its foun-dation ; it contains upwards of 2G.000 cubic feel oftimber and about '10 tons of wrought and cast iron.

LITERATURE."Tun POETS ANU POETRY or M UNSTKR ."—J ohn

O'Daly, Dublin ; i'\ Dawson, Waterford. This isa compact work , written both in the English andIrish character. It opens with an interestin g bio-graphy of a poet and schoolmaster named DonoghMaccon Mara (now pronounced Macnamara) whomade his appearance in the county Watertord aboutthe year 17;J8 , while on his way home from a conti-nental college. He, with a partner , kept a hed ge-school in Middlethird and other parts of the county.After some reverses of fortune he went to Newfound -land , where he wrote some poems. lie returned ,however , to his home, and at the age of IDO he wrotean elegy in Latin , on the death of a brother bard.In the year 1814 his remains were interred in thechurch yard of N'ewtown , Kilmacthoinas. This boo!:should at least be in the hands of every student ofthe Gaelic tongue.

TIIK L.VTF. SUICI D K IN DUI I I.IN .—Mrs. Forbes, ofLondon , mentioned in our last as having supposedthat " Webster " was her son, has, together with herson , declared herself positive that the remains of theunfortunate suicide were not those of her missing son.On Monday, the bod y was identified by Mr. Klein ,woolstapher v of Jcdburg h. The name of the deceasedwas James McFarlane , who bad been a clerk to theMessrs. Mein , and who absconded from Jcdburphon the 25th of August last , having forged checks onthe bank for £715. His wife absconded at the sametime , and no trace ot her has since been discovered.A ffidavits stating thi^ e facts having been made beforethe magistrates of the Head Police Ollice , the Com-missioners of Police ordeied that the property left intho house in French-street by the deceased should begiven up to Mr. G rainger, manager of the bank.

RuMounr.n TRACKS OF SIR J. FR A N K L I N .—Wegive insertion to the following for what it is worth ,which our readers will probably agree with us inthinking is not a great deal. It appears in thesecond edition of the CHRONICL E, and is part of aletter from B?rlin of the 1st- —'• It is currentl y re-ported at St. Petershurgh that several bottles, her-metical l y sealed and air-tight , but not containing anymemorand a to indicate their origin , have been pick-ed up on the highest latitudes of the Siberian coast,and forwarded to the Russian government , whichhas not only communicated the circumstance to herMajesty 's envoy, but delivered to him several ofthese bottles. An impression has consequentlyarisen that these bottles belonged to Franklin 'sexpedition ; and it is hoped , feeble as these indicesmay be, that they may tend to throw some light uponthe fate of our countrymen , by producing a searchin a new direction corresponding with the set of cur-rents that have thrown these bottles on the Siberiancoast. A letter from St. Petersburgh, received lastniuht , states that the Queen 's messenger, who em-barked on Saturday at Cronstadt , was charged toconvey one of the bottle s to the Admiralty, with di-vers memoranda relating to the subject , drawn upby, or communicated to, the British legation at St.Petersburg !!."

THE BEGGAR'S LAMENT.Tho' youthful my Jays , I have passed them in sorrow,

The cloud of mi.ibr'.uni! my pathway hath hid ,Unhnppy today, I hav<: wished P.ir the morrow,

As by tiie slow moment* , like m:>urn;rs, hath ulid.

For a moment or two my h^ort had been gladness,Then the ligur's rosy nmiuenls rolled swiftly away ,

But the sequel l>r.'ir;ht inisrrv, anguish, and sadness,And darkened again tin- bright joys of the day.

Br parents forsaken, the wide world I wander,Nor find u kind friend to dash olf the salt tear ;

Chill solitude make* my i»mr heart crow still fonder ,Of friends, could I (iud them—Alas ! none ate near.

They tell inn , ns oft at their doors I am pining,Tn go to the workhouse , ' They 'll shelter you there ,1

And n« on their sofas I see them reclining.I think of the contrast, ond dash olf the tear.

O)i ! God, how I fee!, as both feeble and lonely,I walk through the crowd, and find no friend to aid,

One friend could I find, oh ! hut one kind friend only,My sorrows were ended , may cares were all stayed.

But oh ! born in misery, and nourished by «is»hing,No kind hand to cherish—no mother to teach,

I would I this moment unheeded were ilyinjf,By the 6idc of some forest—deep-graved in a ditch .

My spirit untolli'd for by soft breaths be wafted,And find that in Heaven it never found here ,

On the bright branch of slory as u stem should lie grafted,And eestaey wipe "If each chrystalized War.

IRISH RIVERS.(From the Dublin Vnhersit ;/ Mmjminefur September.)

•nii; sum—P.UIT n.(Continued.)

The Suir continues its course in the same directionit has principally observed since passing Golden ,until it reaches Newcastle, where it bends suddenlytowards the Enst. The village is not far from theKitockmcaldown range of mountains. Over thesehighlands is a road , yet called Bohei nagall (the roadof the stranger). It was the direct line of communi-cation from Lismore to Cashel , and it was probablyby this route King Henry II. was marching fromLismore to the City of the Bells, when , as history in-forms us, he was met near the river Suir by O'liricn,King of Thomond, who there submitted himself tothe English monarch , whereupon Henry wentto Waterford , and sailed thence to England.

A tributary stream flows from the Knockmealdownhills, .and falls into the Snir about a mile from New-castle. This is the river Tar, and has its source nearthe spot where stands the upright stone miscalledTorbrcague, properly Torbroga, over 1700 feet abovetho level of tho sea. The stone is one of the pillar-stones set upon the mountain top, and another of themany proofs that the worship of the sun was theancient pagan belief of this country. The name ofKnockmealdown originated in the same worship, andthat of the river Tar is derived from pagan origin—Tor or Tlior being one of the pagan appellations ofthe sun.

From Newcastle, the Suir flows towards the east,for a mile or so, and , washing the base of the eleva-tions which finally swell into the lofty range of Com-meragh mountains , again changesits course northward ,for about three miles. A lordl y demesne, Knockloft y,is next watered by our river, and the conjunction ofscenic beauty, in and around the seat of the Earl s of])onoughmore, is very attractive. The wide-spreadlawns, carpeted with verdant turf—the profusion ofthe noble trees dotting the plains, now in luxuriantclumps, anon in single and solitary pride—the hills,clothed with forests, and the broad , bright rivergliding calmly on its way—constitute the main fea-tures of a charming picture. Since leaving New-castle the river forms the boundary of the counties ofTipperary and Watcrford.

Emerging from the precincts of the demesne ofKnocklofty, the Suir flows past the seat of Mr. Bag-well, Marlfield ; and the many roofs—the hum ofmen—the rolling in vehicles—th e tumult of a mul-titude of busy action—announce a considerable town.This is Clouniul , the cap ital of Tipperary, and aplace of great commercial enterprise.

The name of Clonmel , CI,« IN -M I-:AI .LA , I .I:., " theplain of honey," is ?aid to be owing to the Tualha-de-Danaans , one of the early races of the country ,who, desirous of selecting a locality whereon to set-tle, and skilled in omens, set olT n swarm of bees,nnd resolved to remain where they settled. The spotwas Clonmel ; so they gave it the name of the" Plai n of Honey," and erected the haile , or circularfort, which , in after years, became the nucleus of aflourishing town.

A castle erected on this spot occasioned Cromwellsevere loss. Tradition records that the Lord Pro-tector , despairing of taking it, actuall y ordered a re-treat , and wlu'n in the act of marching of!" he esp iedsomething glittering in the grass. On examination ilproved to be a silver bullet. It immediatel y strucktho sagacious general that the ammunition of thegarrison must be nearly spent when they were forced toemploy such costly material of offence, and again pro-secuting the seige the garrison were obliged to sur-lender the place. In Carlysle's " Letters andSpeeches of Cromwell," this brave defence is thusrecorded :—

" He has still one storm to do, that of Clonmel ,where ' two thousand foot, all Ulster men,' are ga-thered for a last struggle—the death agony of thiswar, after which it will fairly die and he buried. Avery tine storm , and fine whirlwind of last agony ;whereof take this solid account by an eye-witnessiind hand-actor ; the date is 10th of May, 1650, aletter from Clonmcl in Irelan d :—" Worth y Sir—Yesterday, Thursday, 9th May, we

stormed Clonmel ; in which work both officers andsoldiers did as much and more than could be expected.We had witli our guns made a breach in their works;when after a hot fight we gave back for a while ; butpresently charged up to the same ground again. Butthe enemy had made themselves exceedingly strong,by double works and transverse, which were worseto enter than the trenches. When we came up to itthey had cross-works and were strongly flanked fromthe houses within their works. The enemv defendedthemselves against us that day until towards theevening, our men all the while keeping up close lotheir breach ; and many on both sides were slain.At night the enemy drew out on the other side, andmarched away undiscovered to us ; and the inhabi-tants of Clonmel sent out for a parley. Upon whichurtieles were agreed on , before we knew the enemywas gone. After signing all the conditions we disco-vered the enemy to be gone.'"*

The letter then mentions a pursuit in which twohundred of tho Irish were killed. "Whitlocke f says :

•' They found in Clonmc-l the stoutest enemy thearmy ever met in Ireland ; and there was never seenRO hot a storm of so long continuance , and so gal-lantly defended , either in England or Ireland."

Among the obj ects of interest to the visitor is SaintMary 's Church , in the suburbs. The appearancecommands reverence and wins respect. Anti quityspeaks from every stone of ifs picturesque walls. In-deed few buildings con afford the artist 's pencil amore graceful subject. The steeple is varied inshape, the base being square ; and. from this rises anoctagonal tower of considerable elevation , terminatingin an embattled parapet. Near the Hiimtuir , an open-j ug in each of the eight sides, shaped as a Gothicwindow, allows the uninterrupted chime of apeal of bells to ring in the ears of the auditors. Thei-ast window is particularly deserving of remark , be-in" one of the most elaborate specimens of the floridGotb\c style extaut. It in well supplied with richstaine d glas9. A tower somewhat resembling thebase of the octagon , stands at the east angle. Thenncient grave-yard , in which the church stands, ismirrounded, for the most part, by portions of the oldtown wall , in which may be traced the existence ofsmall square towers at regular intervals.

There is a curious raised monument belonging tothe Butlers or Butylers, in the chapel-yard of thefriary . 'Ilie mouument is composed of limestone ,and "measures about seven fret long by four broad.It bears in high relief the effi gies' of a kni g ht in com-plete urmour, and a lady in flowing robe. Arclidallmentions two friaries in this town. One founded in1209, dedicated to St. Dominiok ; another founded inthe same year in honor of St. Francis , to which the But-ler family gave donations. We must not omit mention-ing that Clonmel was the birthplace of the Countessof Blessington , and the witty but licentious author ofTristram Shandy, Laurence Sterne. Tlie late llev.Professor Butler was also born near this town , andresided at Garnavilla. Many of our volumes areenriched by his literary labours, nor has he failed tonotice the scenery of the Suir. A portrait , with amemoir of his short , but well-spent life, appeared inthe " University Magazine" for May, 1812.

fanes of Holy Cross and Athasal , and surveyed thetower-crowned heights of Cashel and Ardtinnan :we have noted the locality of many a well-foughtfray, at Cahir and Clonmel , which makes these townsfamous in story ; and now purpose to conclude ourcourse by following the river through its remainingroute, detailing the picturesque scenes through whichwe pass. The environs of Cionmel are exceedinglybeautiful , the height of the mountains to the southpart of the Cotntneragh range approaching to Alpineelevation. These being clothed in wood add muchto the beauty of the scene. The country seats nu-merously scattered around , are exquisitely laid out.Kenilworth , Marlfield, Newtown Anner, &c. Theround of Heywood affords a pleasant walk. Apretty spot called the Wilderness is well designated ,from the solitude and rugged wildness of its scenery.This place was a rendezvous for the enthusiasts of1848, but we remember it in happier times. Imme-diately below the town and on the county Waterfordside of the river, is a fort, or eminence. This quietspot was selected as the ground on which a duel tookplace between two barristers, in the fighting daysof Ireland, now happily past and gone. The combi-tants were tho famous Ned Lysaght, and Egan, thecelebrated chairman of Kilmainhain. It was a del ight-ful summer evening, during the assizes at Clonmel ,when the late Thomas Dickson, Q.C., father of theIrish bar, pointed out the scene of the combat, whichhe witnessed. The combatants wore placed at op-posite sides, each with a brace of loaded pistols, andtold that they might advance and fire as they thoughtproper. Singular to relate, both parties escaped un-hurt. Who can regret the departure of days andscenes of life so barbarous and so inhuman ?

Between Clonmel and Newtown Anner , the Suitwas the unconscious instrument of, or instrument tna dark and mysterious deed. Not very many yearsback , a very lovely girl , of a respected family of theSociety of Friends, was beloved by an officer of thegarrison, and his love was fervently returned. Somewarnings against continuing the attachment hadreached both ; but who can " school the heart 's af-fection ," or what avail considerations of prudencewhen all the instincts of our nature—that yearninglove for love—masters every oilier purpose in ourminds ? Meetings, frequent and prolonged , ensued.One morning the trumpet sounded for parade. Thereveille beat—the squadron mustered—but the soldierwas absent from his post ! His arms hung on thewall—his charger neighed impatiently in his stall—but the gallant rider heeded not. The previousnight the fair Quakeress had not returned to hercouch, and fear and terror spread th roughout Clonmelas each hour brought no trace of the absent ones.At length the Suir was dragged , and the bodies ofthe hapless lovers discovered , twined in each other 'sarms. It is supposed they were murdered and flunginto the river, but no disclosure of the circumstanceswas ever made.

Newtown-Anner, on the north bank of the river,as it flows eastward, is the handsome seat of the Os-borne family. A church in ruins is close to the Suir.This portion of the river was a favourite resort inour younger days, when climbing tho heights of FairyHill,piercing the mountain which defiles to Balinamult,or sauntering between Clonmel and the brid ge, rod inhan d, made our wonted pastime. Some miles to thenorth is an ancient church worth y inspection. Theprostrate walls and ruined chancel claim compassionfor their lowly state. This is called Donoughmore,and appears of great anti quity.

North-west of this ruin is the church-vard of Cle-rihan. Truly may it be called " a lone, green, andsunny spot," situated within view of a varied andluxuriant landscape with the stately outline ofSlieve-na-mon, a broad bulwark on one side, and thegreat plain watered by the Suir on the other. A ce-metry more suited to form a haven of rest for theremains of man cannot be imag ined. Who wonldnot prefer a place like this, with the free air of hea-ven blowing upon the daisy-spangled turf , and thevenerable yew-trees forming a canopy overhead, tothe close, damp, stifling vault of some city grave-yard , with its pert monuments and affectations ofmourning ?

Slievc-na-mon (properly SMABII -NA -MIIAN ) is aloft y mountain , about three miles from Clonmel , onthe north bank of the Snir. It ir, celebrated in songand legend. In Irish it is called SMAIMI -NA -M I I A NFIO .NX N.i K I R I .V, i.i :., " The mountain of the fairwomen of Krin ," and the following reason assignedfor this appellation .--—Fin MacCool wishing to miirry,nnd being much at a loss whom to select among thelovel y fair women of the land , caused them all toassemble at the foot of this mountain, and announcedthat whoever firs t cainc to him at the top he wouldmarry. Having taken his seat on the summit , besidethe Druid's chair, now called Meagher 's Rock , hemade a signal for the start. Off they went in xcorcs,and no steeple-chase in modern times was better con-tested. The first to approach the 1'inian chief wasGraine the daughter of Cormac, monarch of Ireland ,and Fionn gladly made her his bride. Tin's ladyseems to have had a taste for running. Keatingin his " History " states that , " being of an amorousdisposition , she left her husband Fionn , and stoleaway with her gallant Diarmuid O'Duibhne. "

The following literal translation of an ancientpoem , in the possession of Mr. Wri ght, the accom-plished author, and printed in Mr. and Mrs. Hall'svery interesting work on Ireland , describes a huntingmatch of the Finians on this mountain. It is in adialogue between the bard and St. Patrick :—

Near Clonmol is a holy well, dedicated to Ireland'spatron saint. Pilgrims , in former days, resorted to(liis spot ; and the faith which religious belief in-sp ires contributed to aid in relieving many a case ofsuffering, and establish a cure when medical sciencewas entirel y baffled. The banks are very beautifulfor some distance along the course of the river , andthe windings of the stream open up successions ofhighly picturesque landscapes ; cultivated fields, andwell-fed, contented-looking cattl e, afford abundantproof of tho groat fertility of the soil. TheSuir is the medium of traffic between Clonmel andWaterford ; and the numerous canal boats, con-stantly urged along the stream by teams of horses,show the great trade in corn , nnd the quantity ofprovisions daily exported. The navi gation of thisriver is, however, capable of considerable improve-ment ; and for my own part, I think nothing wouldconduce more to the permanent benefit of the coun-try, than opening theinternal communication betweenthe interior and the sea, for the purposes of commerce,which the rivers so frequently afford, nnd which allmust admit have been so shamefully neglected. Weare essentially an exporting country—growing corn,feeding cattle, making butter, &c, for sale ; and ap-[ ro-uiiisting our goodi to the market f oe consump-

tion would be a great advantage. The river Black-water, in Munster, was surveyed, and the estimateprepared under the direction of Colonel Jones, Chairiman of the Board of Works ; but from some mys^terious cause, he afterwards ceased to be active iiithe completion of what he very earnestly recom-mended.

AN AVAKOULICAL WELCOME TO THE ROYAL VI-SIT .—Now it came to pass, that in the seventeenthyear of Queen Victoria, even when the harvest wasbeing gathered by the husbandmen , on the nine andtwentieth day of the eighth month there was a greattumult in Dublin , like unto the voice of many waters

For behold the Queen and all her chariots andhorsemen had landed in the town of Kings.

And the ground whereon she walked was coveredover with cloth of the colour of gold.

But instead of the crown of gold, wherewith shewas used to appear abroad, she had upon her heada bonnet of straw.

And instead of the purple, she clad herself in finemuslin , and she rested upon the arm of the mightyPrince her consQrt, even he who is called Albert.

And before her and behind her went all hermighty children , all princes and princesses of theblood which is called royal.

And before her went many mighty men, horsemenriding upon horses, find brandishing flashing spears,and their number was forty and four thousand.

And behold , the lord , who is called the Mayor, fol-lowed her in his carriage, and the multitudes whocame after were like unto the sand on the sea shore.

And when they came into the place called theRow of Westland, many were gathered together tosee her.

And many butchers, and bakers, and maker* ofshoes, and builders of houses, and lawyers and doc-tors who were scattered amongst the people, did crywith a loud voice to welcome the Queen, seeing thatthey could not do otherwise.

lint the mighty hosts of the people held theitpeace and did not rejoice, but looked at the sight witl iexceeding great wonder.

And many cried out " long live our Queen," andothers again cried " long live the people."

And others said, " behold she is the mightiest mo-narch in the world." And others exclaimed , " ex-cept the Emperors of Russia and France."

And many others cried aloud , " behol d the extentof our Queen 's territory is greater than that of anyother power." And others answered them and said ," except the United States of America, and Russia,and China."

And many cried , " tho army of England is invin-cible," and some answered and said, " except beforethe Americans."

And there was great confusion and uproar, andthe Queen's Majesty drove off as quick as she couldit]) the Row of Westland , and along the street ofNassau, and through the street of Sackville, to theutmost confines of the city.

And as she passed along, behold the people felldown flat upon their faces, and worshipped her say-ing, " great is our Queen , the greatest in the world,except the Emperors of Russia and France."

And nirniy of them fell upon the policeman 's toes ,and the policemen thereupon cried out lustily withthe pain.

And when the great soldiers came by, horsemenriding upon horses, mighty men of war, and menwho carried the sword.

Behold the people fell flat upon their faces andworshipped them, saying, " great is our army, andinvincible, except when fighting the Americans."

And when the lord , who is surnamed the Mayor,passed by, the people cried out with one voice, " bles-sed be thou , O Lord Mayor, for thou hast saved usthe expense of illuminating our houses."

EMPLOYMENT IN WORKHOUSES INIRELAND.

A return (obtained by Sir Robert Ferguson) hasbeen printed , showing from each union in Irelandthe extent of land under cultivation , the number ofpersons employed , the rent per statute acre, the ex-penses incurred, the money value of the produce,and the profit and loss for the year 1S32. Similarreturns are given of trades and manufactures carriedon in workhouses for the same year. It appears thatthe extent of land attached to workhouses under cul-tivation last year was 1,202a. Ir. ISp. The numberof persons employed on farms was .5,722, of whom2,.3H1 were above 15 years of age, and 3,111 under15. The number employed in manufactures andtrades was 2i ,G55 ; 15,320 above \o, aiid!6,o35 under15. The value of the stock on the SOtlr of Septem-ber, 1851, was dt'2, lC5 19a fld , and at 'the close ofthe year it was £3,102 Ms lj d. The profi t on theyear was £',3,00.9 IDs -IJd, and the loss on the year£105 8s. The value of stock consumed in theworkhouses was £2,397 12s OJd. In the account ofthe expenses incurred in manufactures and tra descarried on in workhouses in Ireland it appears thatthe value of stock in hand on the oOih of oupi.c-iiiui.-i ,1851, was £6,078 8s 6.?d, and at the close of theyear £7,525 11s 5ijd. The profit on the year was£5,925 17s 2'd, and the los* £88 6s 9Jtl . The ex-penditure during the year ended the 30th of Sep-tember, 1852, wYis £9,785 5s. OJd., and the value ofthe products £11,775 12s. u'jd.

That prince of violinists, Paganini, whose performancesin London -were the< theme of wonder and admiratio n ,after having realised an independence, died at Nice in1839, when the bishop of that ci>y refused interment tothe corpse of the musician in consecrated ground, becausehe had died without receiving tho sacrament. The ex-ecutors, having removed the corpse to a private place,eudeavoured to revoke tiie decn-e of the prolate ; but theCourt of Nice decidt-d against them, whereupon they ap-pealed to the Archiepiscopal Court of Genoa, by whichthe jud gment of tbe lower court was reserved, and theremains of P&ganini ordered to be interred in tbe ceme-tery. Tbe Episcopal Court or* Nice appealed against thiadecision to the Court of Turin, which has since confirmedit. As throo appeals are allowed in ecclesiustical mat-ters, the Court of Nice has appealed in the lost resort toa tribunal of judges to be appointed by the Holy See.The result will doubtless be th.it tbe corpse of the modernOrpheus will rest in holy ground.

IIOUSFHOI .D G UARD OF THE EMPEROR N ICHOLAS .—Mis Imperial Majesty is very particular with res-pect to the cavalry corps, his household bri gade.The finest men in the army are drafted into it} andllieir uniform and appointments are superb. Themen are as nearl y as possible of the same height ,and uniformitv is carried out to an absurd extent.Those whose upper lips are not productive of a suf-ficient growth of hair are corked and painted , thatall may look alike ; and the expenditure of cottonmust be immense, for one man is taken as a standard ,and the rest are padded all over to. bring them out tothat shape and size. The Emperor appears as colo-nel of the regiment. The army is a sort of auto-maton—every eye is centred upon him—he pulls thewires by a nod or look, and the machine performs itswork.

" BLEAK HOUSE 1"—A few month ago a merchantof this city took to hi» home and hearth a youthfulbride, and went to reside in the .Fourth District.Wishing to live in privacy, he engaged only oneservant—a fresh green girl , from the Emerald Isle.She took the fever, and in a few days died. Anotherwas hired , and shared the same fate. A third and nfourth filled the vocancy in the household , andfollowed in succession the summons of the destroyer.Following the impulse of a natural dread , the mer-chant went to Mobile to avoid the destructive visi-tation of the scourge, and the next day buried hisyoung and beautiful bride. Disgusted with home hereturned to the city to sell out his household, deter-mined to leave a locality to him so suggestive oisorrow. He died the next day.

WATERFORD AND TRAMORE RAILWAY.FJRST 'HALi>: YEARLY MEETING.

The first half-yearly meeting of this company sincethe completion of the line was held at their office, 15Hume street, Dublin, on Friday last. The chairmanof the company, .Sir JAMES DOHBRAIN , presided.

The Secretary read the directors' report and thestatement of accounts. The directors' report stated :

Since tbe last half-yearly general meeting,your direc-tors1 attention was devoted to the completion of this line,in order to have it available for public accommodation atthe earliest period possible, as WPII as to secure the greaterportion of the iautumn passenger traffic ; and they havenow the satisfaction to state that the line was opened onthe 5th instaut for public tmffio , and bothobjectsftttaine<llo a greater extent than could have been anticiptfed.The entire of the rolling stock (which was coutincted(br tinder very fovour.ible terms) lias Dot been delivered ;3fime inconveuieuce lms been felt, but by the end of nextmonth the whole will be on the lii>e ,aud in a most perfectirx) uOicipnt stiite. Piirin" the six (lays immediately fol-lowing the opening of tbe line, 2,044 persons travelledover i t ; and for the week ending 17th instant, 3.239,making 5,183, giving a revenue Oc" £039 10s or about£18 per mile per week ; it must, however, be borne inmind that this tmlric could uot be expected to be perma-nent, but that ,, owing to local circumstances, the revenueduring the winter season will be consulcr»Dly less. Stillthe traffic will , it is hoped , be found fully sufficient , notonly to meet the working expenses dunn<» that season,butnlfio to leave a considerable surplus. It will be seenthnt thc .opinion which had been furmol of the remune-rative prospects of the line has not been ov*rmted. Andyour directors feel satisfied that the result of the traffic,not only for the time since the line was opened , but alsothat which tmy be r&isonablr expactel for the latterportion of the season, will fully justify the confidence ofthose who have invested their capital in the undertakingThe expenses of the traffic department are on n scalecommensurate with the extent of your lino, and its effi-cient working, every attention being paid so that thewnnts of the public is full y supplied , and at the sametime the interest of the shareholders promoted.

£5,598 . 2 GThe Chairman , in moving the adoption of the

report and statement of accounts, said when he lasthad tha pleasure of meeting the shareholders, sixmonth s ago, he was enabled to state that they hadacquired possps-iion nf tho land required for therailway on very reasonable terms. He had now toannounce what he believed was unprecedented in theannals of railway undertakings—namely, that in thecourse of six months the line was completed andopened to the public, and that traffic bad been goingon for the last three weeks. The first sod was turnedin the month of February, and the first waggon puton the line on the first of May, and in seventeenweeks fro m that time the traffic commenced. Itappeared from the statement in the report , whichwas made up to the 17th instant, that the revenuefrom the Stl'i instant (although, in point of fact , theactual traflic did not not commence until the 7thinstant) was £239 19s. He (the chairman) bad toreport that the traffic had been maintained at thesame rate—tho recei pts for the last three weks being£151 12s Gd. Of course, in opening the line soexpeditiously it was not to he expected that every-thing could be in a perfectly satisfactory state . Forinstance , th ey were unable to procure engines whenthe line was opened ; but through the kindness ofMr. Dargan engines were lent to them until theirown were completed , and no exertion woul d bespared by the directors to have everything in properworking order in the ensuing spring. Several mut-ters connected with the prosperity of the companyhad engaged the attention of the board. One ofthose had reference to the inducements which theyshould hold out to builders to erect houses in Tri-more, which would be greatly required next summer.At present they did not know the exact terms inwhich the resident landlords were disposed to granttheir land , to hold out sufficient inducements to thosewho were disposed to embark money in such under-takings ; but under present circumstances thevlooked forward to the line being quite as remunera-tive as was originall y contemp lated (hear , hear).Amongst the subj ects which they had taken into con-sideration was the propriety of continuing tht.-ir linefro iu ilic terminus <tt Tramore to Dunmoic ; lu: liewas nol in a condition at present to bring the matterfairly before the meeting. As soon as the matter wasripe for discussion he would call a special meeting foithe purpose of promoting it, either by a separatecompany or by subscribing to it and amalgamatingit with their own line (hear). Of course the wintertraffic could not be expected to keep up to the pre-sent rate ; but he believed that after the approachingseason a considerable winter traffic would spring up .When the Kingstown line was first started it wasuniversally said—" It will do very well in summer,but will never do in winter." He thought that theTramoie line in a very small way might be comparedwith the Kingstown as to the purpose for which itwas intended—the recreation of persons living inthe neighbourhood ; and it should be rememberedthat the whole of the Tramoro line , rolling stock in-cluded , would not cost more than one mile of theKingstowtii line (hear, hear.) The Chairman con-cluded by moving the adoption of (lie report.

Mr. M'JDowell , F.T.C.D., seconded the motion ,which w:is adopted.

Mr. Hone wished to know how Mr. Dargan was tobe paid ?

The Chairman said Mr. Dargan agreed to con-struct the line , taking a large number of shares , witha view lo ensure ita being done. Mr. Dargan statedthen , and had stated since, that he was aware1 of themanner in which the company was circumstanced bytheir act , which only permitted them to call up acertain amount each year, and that he was willingto await the result of these calls until he was paidthe amount due to him—the company taking carethat he should receive a per centage for the moneyas long as it remained out, which was fixed at dic-tate of four per cent,

A vote of thanks was passed to the directors, afterwhich the meeting separated.

Someestates, numbering from 200 to .300 slaves, had beenso reduced in the space of a week that there werescarcely nien enoug h left to bury the dead. Thekidnapping of the Yucatan Indians, and taking ofthem to Havana to be sold as slaves, was excitingconsiderable attention.

The gentlemen carried a large purplevelvet cushion , on which rested a magnificent dia-mond bracelet , which they clasped upon her wrist,amid a long continued shower of heavy bouquets andfine green leaves ; they then retired, and our bonnyKate stood to receive the most deafening cheers thatever resounded in the walk of the theatre. At theclose of the concert , the boys of the Hook and Lad-der Company waited with their ropes to draw her car-riage home, which they did in a gallant style."From Val paraiso she goes to Santiago, thence toCapiapo and Lima , and then to Australia.

THE Y KLLOW I'EVER ,—A despatch from New Or-leans states, t'.iat fri ghtful accounts were reachingthat city of the ravages of the yellow fever in theplantations and in the small villages along the lakeand river coasts. The fi'ver in New Orleans was onthe decrease, only 21 persons having died of thatdisease on the 17th ult. The deaths for the week ,ending on that day, were 2-il. Among the deathsrecorded is that of Frederick Gibson , a native ofTipperary, and for some time past a reporter on theNew Orleans Delta.

The New Orleans " Crescent" says :—" We ven-ture to assert that , we will have a larger population ,by many thousands, this winter, than we have everhad before—more workers for the business—moreamusements—more honest traffickers , moro thievesand vagabonds—more votaries of pleasure, and morecriminals and scape-graces, than we have ever hadin one season before."

At Mobile the deaths were upwards of 20 a day.A private letter informs us that the fever is worse, inproportion to population , in that city, than in NewOrleans. For the week ending Sept. 10, the inter-ments were 2G1 , of which 20S were of yellow fever.The scenes at the hospital are most distressing. Twoof the Sisters of Charity at the hosp ital have justbeen taken down with the fever, with no chance ufrecovering.

The New York exhibition is nou- open in all itsbranches. It will close with tho pleasant weather ,viz., in December next.

The Most Rev. Archbishop Hughes , we are de-lighted tn learn , has entirely recovered fic m thesj-vere attack of inflamation uf the chest which con-fined him to b?d for a few days.

New York and its vicinity was visited by a veryviolent storm on the 20th ult., which almost surpendedbusiness operations. The health of that city wasgreatl y improved. The number of deaths for theweek ending the 17th ultimo, was duly 417,showing a decrease of SI on the mortality of the pre-vious week. 01" these 5fi were caused by consumption ,'<il cholera infantuin , 2~> by diarrhoe a, 17 by dropsyin the head , 26 by dysentry, aud 29 by marasmus.There were 12 cases of premature birth , 27 of still-born , 7 of small pox, and 2 of lockjaw. The deathsamong children under one year of age numbered116, and among children under ten years 231. Ofthe deceased 301 were natives of the Unite d States ,83 of Ireland , 31 of Germany, and 14 of England.

The Montgomery G uards, the oldest and best dis-ciplined Irish company in the States, celebrated.theirlath anniversary on the 20th , by an excursion to theAtlantic shore, where they partook of an excellentdinner and some good speeches, were made, followedby dancing.

AUSTRALIA.We have files of Melbourne papers up to the 2d of

July. They testify to the continued and increasingprosperity of the colony of Victoria , and of the Aus-tralian colonies generally. The yield of gold had not,as had been predicted it would , decreased ; the oldfields, both in Victoria and Sydney, were yieldinghandsomely, and some fresh fields, too, had been dis-covered. " Kuhl 's Melbourne Gold Circular" forthe week ending June 25 states that 23,506 ounceswere in that week sent to Melbourne from the Vic-toria gold lields. Of this amount, we note in the de-tailed account that 6,871 ounces came from MountMac Ivor, a newl y-discovered gold-field , which theVictoria papers characterise as the " most uncertainof diggings." Meanwhile, the locality, besides the0,871 ounces forwarded to Melbourne , sent in 5,381ounces to Geelong. According to the " GeelongGold Circular," the arrivals from the various dig-gings, during the week ending 2 lth June, were asfollow :—

Ounces.Castlemaine escort 85-13Castlemainc escort ... ... ... 0605Ovens escort. . 2291Mac Ivor escort 538IBallarat escort ... 3959

making a total of 29,779 ounces.In tne Mount Alexander district several new pla-

cers are reported, and it is stated that the greatestprosperity prevails. Some new gullies have beendiscovered at Ballarat. Of Winter 's Flat we learnthat it is steadily yielding a fair average quantity, andCreswick's Creek is improving.

The latest Sydney gold circulars which have cometo hand arc of the 22d of June. The escort whicharrived at Sydney on the day before brought 4,481ounces of gold and £.4,9-13 in cash. . The Westernescort, which arrived at Sydney on the 20th of June,brought 1,446 ounces from Bathurst, Sofala, Tamba-roora, Meero, and Mudgee. The state of the roadsis described by the circulars and papers aa frightful ;in some places four and twenty bullocks are requiredto drag a dray a very short distance in the course ofa day. As the country is, BO are the towns.

WEST INDIA MAILS. '>^3The West India mails were landed from the sleto2£$

" Thames" in Southampton on Sunday last.Jamaica seemed absorbed in anticipations of tbe

new governor's advent. His heavy baggage badarrived. A valedictory address from the bishop ar.4clergy, as well as one from some compassionate lay-men, was presented to Sir C. Grey, on his retiringfrom the governorship.

Several of the islands were still suffering muchfrom yellow fever.

At Barbadoes, on the 31st, a thunder storm passedover part of the island , the lightning killing a laboreras well as several head of cattle.

In the islands generally a fully average crop wasexpected.

ESCAPE OF M ITCHEL AND MARTINThe " Adelaide Observer," of the 2nd of July,

says :—" Mr. John Mitchell , one of the Irish stataprisoners, has effected his escape from the island.Ho is the fourth of those prisoners that has escaped."

In another part of the same paper we find thefollowing :—" By way of Melbourne we have dates ofthe 19th of June. John Mitchel, whose escape wehave alread y recorded ,- is gazetted as an absconder;and a reward of TWO POUNDS , ' ov such leaser sum asmay be determined on by the convicting magistrate,'is offered for his apprehension."

The " Colonial Times" says :—" We understandthat Messrs. Mitchel and Martin have proceeded toj oin their compatriots in America."

A correspondent of a Dublin paper thus write*from Melbourne July 1, describing John Mitchel'sescape :—

As you are aware, he hel d a ticket of leave, andabout ten days ago he entered the police office of thedistrict where he resided, and handed to the policemagistrate a letter containing the resignation of hisindulgence. The police magistrate, taking the com-inunication , commenced to read, and, whilst he waidoing so, Mitchel abruptly left the office , within afew yards of which he found a horse ready saddledand two trusty friends to defend and to accompanyhim.

Mounting at once, the trio rode to the sea coast ,where a boat awaited them , and the patriot was soonpacing the deck of an American vessel, which atonce put to sea and has not since been heard of.

I am assured that John Martin has accompaniedhim ; but as there is some doubt upon this point I donot vouch for its accuracy, though I have strong rea-son to believe such is the case. If so onl y two of thamen of "48—viz., Smith O'Brien and O'Dogherty,now remain.

Mrs. Mitchel and her children have already sailedfro m Hohart Town f or Sidney, whence she proceed;to Now York to join her hero-husband. O'Donohoahas been last heard of at Tahiti , and, no doubt has,ere this , made his way to the United States. Inhaste , as the mail is closing, but you shall soon heaiagain.

The " Melbourne Argus," of June IS, gives thefollowing furtliT particulars :—Information hasreached Hobart Town of tbe escape of Mr. JohnMitchel , the Irish state prisoner, who was residingupon tickct-of-leave purule at Bothwell. The parti-culars of the case are as follow :—Mr. Mitchel waiteda day or two ago upon Mr. Davis, the assistantpolice magistrate at iiothwell, with a letter whichcout-iined the resignation of his parol of honor, andhe oliere:! to pbice himself in the custody of the pc-lioe. While Mr. Da vies was perusing the lettter ,Mr. Mitchel abruptl y left the office , and proceedingout>ide , where two fleet horses ware in waiting, rodeoff at full speed, accompanied by a gentleman, sup.posed by the police to be Mr. W. L. Smyth , the cor-respondent of the " Now York Tribune. " He ha»not been heard of since. Mr. Martin , another oftiie state pr i&me.-s reeling in the samo di trier , h;i»since reported himself to be at his authorised placaof residence. '

EMPLOYMENT IN IRELANDAt the dinner given last week in Limerick, to cele-

brate the opening of the new dock , the Lord Lieu-tenant said :—" To-day witnessed the opening of a*solidl y built , as capacious, as admirable a dock a»could be seen in any part of the world (hear, hear,and cheers)—a dock , he had ascertained , which waabuilt for several thousands of pounds within the ori-ginal estimate—its cost was £50,000 ; and of thatsum £-10,000 was spent in labour—circulated amongthe labourers and artiz.xns of Limerick, who werebent-fitted to that extent by the outlay (cheers). Butif credit were due to those under whose snperinten-dence that noble work had been commenced andcompleted, credit was no less due to the labourers aeto the superiors engaged in the work for the manneii» which they conducted themselves, while so em-ployed , and which he had heard had been exem-plary in the extreme (elwers)." Further on hi<Excellency said :—" In a neighbouring county twomost eminent and respectable merchants—the Messrs,Malcomson—had established cotton works; they wereenlarging their works ; they had fifteen hundred per-sons emp loyed ; they would have more engaged inthe extensive works they were carrying on. He sawno reason why the batiks of the Shannon should notbe the seat of a cotton-mill as well as the banks ofthe Suir (cheers.) He could not despair of seeingcotton mills in a short period in the neighbourhoodof their city (hear)." The noble lord also made thefollowing reference to the labouring population :—" Ihave on another occasion expressed my opinion thatthe social state of Ireland would be improved by arise in the rate of wages. This opinion is confirmedby an excellent f.-iend of mine, whom I soe at thatable (Mr. Dargnn), who is the greatest employer inIreland (loud eheeers). Mr. Dargan tells me thatif yon w.int to have a faiv day 's work , you must givea fair day 's wages (loud cheers)—and that in pro-portion to tho rising of the wages, such was the in-crease in the quantity of work done. I thereforetrust that one of the advantages of these publicworks will be, not onl y to increase the amount ofwages, but also the demand for skilled labour, andthereby stimulate the encrges of the people.

Mr. Dargan , in reply ing to the toast of " the In-dustrial Resources of Irelan d," with which his namehad been coupled , thus alluded to the same subj ect :At the commencement of this season, I ic\t it to bemy duty, as I could afford it, to advance my labour-ers' w.iges ; and as we do not care about the amountof time which a man consumes upon a piece of work,provided that it is done, we found, when we came toestimate the value of the work executed , that in pro-portion to the monej paid , we had the work thirteenper cent cheaper than it would have cost under theold system (cheers). I have heard a great deal saidabout the want of labour , and I hope that emigrationwill continue until the poor labouring man receive* ;in this country as much as he can get in any °'n9i(!(hear, hear).
