To Professor H OLI .O W A Y .SIR ,— Jly eldest Son , when about three ye s of

age, was afflicted with a Glandular Swell ing iu the.neck , which after a short time broke out into anUlcer. An eminent medical man pronounced it as avery bad case of Scrofula , and prescribed for a consi-derable time without I'fl'w.t. The disc,i>ethen for fouryears went on gradually increasing in virulence , whenbcsi.lcs the ulcer n the neck , another formed belowthe left knee , and a third under llie ej p, besides sevenothers on the led arm, with n tumour between theeyes, which was expected to break. During the wholesof tin: time my sulli - riiiR buy itud received tlie constantadvice of the most celebrated medical (ienlleiiiiin atCheltenham , besides being for several months at theGeneral Hosp ital , where om- oft lu1 Surgeons said thathi; would amputate the left ami , but that the bloodwas so impure , that if that limb were takt- n oil' itwould he I hen even impossible tn subdue the disease.In this desperate state I delcrmned to give your l 'illsand Ointim iit a tr i i l , and after two months perseve-rance in their use , the tumour gradimMy began to dis-appear , and the discharge from all the ulcers percep-tibly decreased , ami at tin' exp iration of ei ght monthsthey wen; perfectly healed , and the boy thoroug hl yrestored to the blessings of health , to the astonishmento la large circle of acquaintances , who could testif y tothe truth of this miraculous case. Three years havenow elapssd without any recurrenceof the malad y,and the buy is notv us health y, as heart can wish.I'nder these circumstances I con.-iiier that I should he.trul y ungratefu l were 1 not to make you aciiuaintedIbis wonderfu l cure , eflVclod b> your medicines afterevery oilier lin uni had failed .

No. 5, Little Thomas-street , Gib^on-strtel , Lam-beth , dated Dec, 1:2, 1049.—To Professor Hol-loway. —Sir ,— I beg to inform you that for nearly liveyears" I haidl y knew what il was to have a day 'shealth , suffering from extreme weakness and debility,with a great depression of sp irits. I used to thinkhat nothing could benefit me, as 1 had bcou to many me-dical men,sotne of whom , after doing all that was in theirpower , informed me thut I had some spinal complaintbeyond the reach of cure, together with a very disor-dered state of the stomach and liver , making my caseso complicated that nothing could be (lone for me.One day bein g unusually ill and in a dejected state , Isaw jour Pills advertised , and resolved to nive them utlial ,' more perhap s from curiosity than with a hope ofkeing cured , however I sunn found myself Jbetter byusing them, and. so I went on perseverin g in theiruse for six months , when I am happ y to say they effec-ted a perfect cure.—(S ;gned) WILLIAM SMITH,

( freuuenll y called MDU 'AKI )(Jure of a Dcsnarntc t'asc of Kingworm, of Six

Years' StandingLima, l '3lh of November, 1849.

One of the most .eminent Surgeons iu Lima (theCapital of Peru) had a child covered with Ringwormfor more than six years ; in vain ha exhausted all hisart in his endeavours to effect a cure. Not succeeding,he consulted among his brethren , the most celebratedmedical practitioners of the City, but nothing wasfound to do the child service. When he was persuaded!jy Mr. Joseph P. Hague, the Eng lish Chemist andDruggist , residing at No. 74, Calli- de Palacio, to tryHolloway 's Pillf and Ointment which was done, andafter using six large Pots of the Ointment , with pro-portion of the- Pills, the child was radicall y cured, totho surprise of the whole medical profession. Tuename of the parent , from motives of delicacy, iswithheld.

Tho Pills should be used conjointl y with the Oint -ment in most of the following cases :—

SUMMARY OF PARLIAMENT

In the House of Commons , on Tuesday, seve-ral petitions were presented for and against PapalAggression. Mr. Rrown gave notice of motionto consider the state of Ireland , with a view ofrelievin g the existing distress. The adjourneddebate upon the second reading of the ecclesias-tical title s hill , was resumed by Mr. Hobhouse ,who expressed himsel f opposed to such leg isla-tion. Mr. Portal also opposed the bill becausehe thought it was utterl y itiip btent 'fur good. Mr.lohn 0'Connell made an excellent speech againstthe bill ; he showed that the sp iritual supremacyof the Pope was the essence of the Catholic reli-gion , and deemed any attempt to prevent it apiece of tyrann y—he showed that even in the Pro-testant church the Queen 's spiritual supremacywas disowned by many of its ministers—he de-nounced the Godless Colleges, and said that Ca-tholics would never recognise Lord John Russellas head of their Church. Mr. Mriutz consideredthe aggression of the Pope both daring and im-pudent. Mr. Hume opposed the bill , Jand Mr.Thessiger spoke in favor of it. iMr. Glad-stone said he could have no respect for the hillbecause it was false and inconsistent—he insistedthat the bill had not the power of restraining anyassump tion. Mr. Disraeli cautioned the houseagainst despising the power of the Pope , who hadan army of jt ,0o6,000 priests governed by 1,000bishops (a class which Protest ants could countonl y by the score). Was this a poi .vr. he asked ,to be classed with Scotch Dissenters I Sir GeorgeGrey stated that this bill should b? di -lbnuVd onimperial policy alone. Mr. Sculi y said he wouldgive the atrocious bill all the opposition in hispower. Mr. Howard protested against the at-tempt to brand one-third of her Majesty 's RomanCatholic subjects. Sir G. Grey said he onl ywanted to put a brand of illegality on the recentl yassumed titles. For the second reading, 433 —against it , 95—majo rity, 343. The house thenadjourned to Thursday.

THB PENAL 151 LI

The onl y thing worth y of observation in thereports of the House of Commons of this week-is, the second reading of the Ecclesiastical TitlesBill on Tuesday, by a majority of 343!—and forwhich the peop le of Ireland ought to feel deeplygrateful. Pauperism is increasing—trade is di-minishing—the people are idle in thousands , andemigrating in tens of thousands , yet the only re-med y that Parliament , it appears , can discoverfor all these evils is—a Penal enactment. No-thing about our grindin g and crushing PoorLaw—not a word about assisting us in forward-ing our Railways—not a sy llable concerning ourneglected fisheries—Tithes and Ministers ' Moneystil] disgrace the statute book. Money is imme-diatel y transmitted to the Cape of Good Hope toput down the pugnacious Kaffirs. But (heavenhelp us !) the only thing—the onl y boon—thatPar lLment , in its wisdom , has condescended tovouchsafe to Ireland is this trash y Penal measure.Must we not be grateful ?

Mr. Bessonett , assistant barrister , presided atthe New Court-house on Thursday. But nothingworth y of particular observation came beforel.irn. After having disposed o[ a number otpetty larceny cases, which might never have beenheard of but for the depressed state of the coun-try, the court rose.

We have heard that the two policemen con-cerned in the late transaction in Lad y-lane policebarrack , have been d ismissed by order of theLord Lieutenant.

f t ^ T We beg to call attention to our reportsof ' proceedings at the nei ghbouring Unions ,within the last day or two, and to point outthe heavy expense which we incur by sendingour Special Reporters to attend those meetings.It will be seen how anxious we are to procurethe most useful information for our numerousand respectable readers. We shall continue tocaU'i to the best of our ability for their severaltastes, and 'trust that our exertions will meetwith a just appreciation.

We refer our readers to Captain Newpor t sspeech at the last meeting of our Boar d ofGuardians ; and the reason we do so is , becauseit reflects the op inions which we at all times heldrelative to pauper labour. In every quart er ofthe country land isl ying waste ; and when farmersare not disposed to till it , pa'ipe'rs oug ht to bemade do so, in order that by so doing, th' ;y shouldcontribute towards their own maintenance. But ,be it observed , we are not in favor of taking landat a ruinous price . And even if there was not ashilling saved by pauper labour—which the expe-rience of other unions makes us doubt — 'he all-"important fact of keep ing the people employed ,>i .«uW never be lost sight of.

Ol "R NEW MEMBER FOR DL XGARVAN

To (he Editor of (lie Watcrford Sews.Twice has ho riten in the west—As many times set in the cast.'* — II U U I B U A H

DE A K Snt. —It has been put forward by thefriends of the Hem . Mr. Ponsonb y as a reasonwh y the men of Dungarvun should at once graspat the opportunity of returnin g hint as their re-presentative that , he was twice, forsooth , the sup-porter of the Whi gs in a British House of Parlia-ment ; but the recommendation slope short there—not one word of explanation as to the manner inwhich he represented his former constituencies—not ono word as to the course of his being drivenon those two occasions to the quiet of private lif e ,and new coining forward for the/ //tWti ine to seekthe confidence of the dear old boroug h of Dun-garvan . Yes , and at the eleventh hour , lest hisantece 'cuts should be too generall y known andbe disseminated amongst the peop le to the preju-dice of that hou. gentleman 's political character ,Well , such a recommendation—such barefaced-nsss was never attempted or assumed—the elec-tioneering history of the country shews no par-

ellel , indeed i The people of Dungarvan aretold ".hat the very best man they could select forthe all-impor tant office of representative , is onewho has been twice removed from his seat—a poli-liticai castaway ; and for what ? wh y surel y itcould not have beeu for his honesty or usefulness> n that capacity. Wh y, therefore, do we hearfrom the hustings at Dungarvan that the hon .Mr. Ponsonb y is the most fit and proper personthat can be chosen ? or wh y has he requested thesupport of its electors , depending upon nothin gbut his title and famil y standing, for his introduc -tion to them ,' and upon his parliamentary know-led ge for the return he so much desired ? Theanswer is plain—he has not satisfied his formerconstituencies ; and with that one sentence thepeople should have met him , and proved that theywere not to be" gulled or truckelled with , by anypolitical trickster , however hi gh-sounding his ti-tle , or elaborate his ensi gns armorial. But theyhave done otherwise , to their eternal disgrace .—Th:y have received their second-hand representa-tiv e on the t ;rms he offered them , namel y—thathe would oppose the ministr y on the *' PapalA ggression Bill ," rthich you have latel y said , sir ,and with the keenest prediction ,would be decidedwithout his assistance , and before he would possi-bl y have an opp ortunity of giving a vote one wayor the other on the question. Where then willbe their pseudo member ? On the side of thatpersecuting and intolerant ministry, and maylaugh at the justl y censured electors who placedhi:m in that position. With such a man as Mr.Maguire in the field it was a thousand times morecul pable of them to select the man they did. Intli E former they had a man possessing talents otthe first order—a man in every way able and will-ing to assist in the regeneration of Ireland.In the latter they have a man possessing, to mymind , not one of these necessary qualities. ButI havesaid enoug h on this painful top ic ; the menof Dungarvan have assisted in throwin g the deathps.ll over the blanched and withered features ofour declining country, which , if lunger allowedto remain unsuceoured by the unanimity of hersons in sending proper ph ysicians to minister toher wants , she will become as torpid , as inani-mate a thing, as she hai been a wretched , a per-secuted , and a miserable nation.

A WATERFORD MAN.[Now that the election is over, and things

calming down to their original state in Dungar-van , we would advise our correspondents to dropt ie subject , and cease their bick ering over " whatcs.n 't be cured' —ED. N.]

PRAC TICAL TENANT RIGHT.A farmer named Ormond , from Villierstown ,

gives us the following pleasing intelli gence w'lnregard to Lord Stuart de Decies :—" Any oneo:i his Lordshi p's property whose land is toohi gh , and who makes such a comp laint , he (hislordship) sends out his own valuator to valuethe land , which is, from tha '. date, given accord-ing to said valuation. And if there are any ar-rears on such holdings, he immediatel y cleaisthem away ; and any person that wishes to goto America , he will allow him to sell out hisfarm to the highest bidder, and forgive him allarrearsdue .allowinghim at the same time to takeaway his substance. His lordship has also givenhelp to poor persons going to America.'' Mayhis Lordshi p long continue to maintain thishi gh character , say we.

WATERFORD STEAM COMPANYA gentleman has informed us that we were in

erro r in our last paper in stating that the OldSteam Company charged 7s. 6d. ahead for pas-sengers on yesterday week. If we were, thank-ful , indeed , are we to be set right. Our infor-mant assures us thaf the passage money wasonly 4s—though the f iend of a passenger, ondie day alluded to, told us that he paid 7s. ButTve arc now told on good authority that it is onlythe 4s. The Waterford Company, however ,deems to be labouring under an indescribablehallucination in not letting the public knowwhat their charges exactly are. What is thefact ? N< > sooner did the New Company ceasetheir labours than the report went abroad thatthe Old Company had got up their prices—wemerel y mention it as a report —but what wasthe effect of that report on the trade of Water-ford and the prospects of our steam ? Wh y this,that several parties, not far from tlm city,have resolved on turning their backs on Water-ford , in favor of Dublin , We would , therefore,advise the Old Company not to be " penny wiseand pound foolish"—we would advise them tosail their shi ps at a remunerating price , and no-th ng more—and we would further advise themto make known to the pub lic at large, throughwhatever medium they may deem best, theprecise terms undei w. icn they do business—But if they now manifest a griping or avariciousdisposition— which we think their dearl y-boug htsense will teach them to avoid—sure as daytheir hard- foug ht domain will again be tres-passed upon .

(£3" A Correspondent informs us that Sub-Cotistable Quirk would have done better had heprevented (which the writer states was withinhis power) the unfortunate occurrence whichlatel y took place in the Lady-lane police barrack ,and which we reported. '

(£3* A Commercial Traveller says that Mr.Sherlock's ground , on the road between thiscity and Dungarvan , is the most highl y culti-vated land that he lias witnessed in this county.

EMIGRATI ON FROM WATERFORD

On yesterday the fine ship Orinoco, CaptainBurke (the first passenger vessel that left thisport) glide 1 down river , with a full complement ofpassengers , nearl y all of whom were of the mid-dle class of farmers , and fartn servants. TheOrinoco looked well as she " walked the waters "with her portion of the " bone and sinew " of ourpoor old land. Immediately after the sailing ofthe Or inoco, Aid; Forristal will have his otherthree vessels in readings for the same destinat ion.To Iri-j h emi grants it is not onl y a boon , but agreat saving, to have shi ps sailing from their ownshores ; and hence we would suggest to the per-severing Alderman the propriet y of charteringsome ships for New York , after his own shallhave departed.

The Med ina , Jenny Lind, Amazon and- AnnKenny (all successful .ships) are , as will be seenby advertisement , also preparing for the " land ofLiberty. "

DUNGARVAN INVESTIGATION.In another part of our journal we publish this

investi gation , which , next to the election , occu-pied so much of public attention in Dungarvan.—Having heard all the case, and -viewing it in animpartial light ,, we think that the master , Mr.Fhzmaurice , has been wronged in the affair, andthat , coqsequentl yf no blame should be attachedto him. When a woman IB proved to be not ofvery moral character , as was to be inferred fromthe medical officer 's evidence—when she saysone thing to-day and flatl y denies it to -morrow—when her demeanor with the porter , a man of in-ferior repute , was even more than susp icious—wethink that her testimony as against the master ,should he ignored. Besides , it should be remem-bered that Mr. Fitzni aurice is a man of the mostexemp lary character , having a large family, andnever known to have acted in an unbe comingmanner up to the period at which this ugl ycharge had been broug ht (trumped up may bebetter) against him. Mr. Fitzmaurice , we be-lieve is not a Roman Catholic , yet , so pleasingand honorable was his deportment whilst j n andout of the workhouse , that five or six respectableCatholic Clergymen gave him a character thatwould confer honor on any man. And althoug hthe name of Mr. Barron (clerk) has been intro -duced irrelevantl y in evidence , it will be s eenthat he had nothing whatever to say to thetransaction.

It is but ri ght to observe that Mr. AssistantCommissioner Burke conducted the investi gationin u fair and! impartial manner.

WEIGHT OF BREADThe grand and market j uries of this city have

adopted a resolution in favor of checking thewei ght of bread , to be forwarded to each of ourcity members of parliament , with the hope thatthey will be enabled to get a clause introducedinto the new bill which is now before a committeeof the House of Commons for the improvementof towns in Ireland.

PETIT SESSIONSWe copy the following from the Drogheda

Conservative, as it may be found useful to thelegal authorities here :—.

It was suggested that the clerk should for-ward Queries on the subject , with a letter fromthe Mayor to the Under Secretary, requesting'he opinion of the Law Advisers of the Crown,The following are the Queries submitted '—

" Qui:Ry 1.—Ref erring to the Act 13 and14th Vic., cap. 102, sees. 36 to 39 inclusive ,where a tradesman (say for instance a tailor orshoemaker) sues fo the amount of an accountunder Ten Pounds , can the magistrates awardthe amount notwithstanding that the tailor orshoemaker supp lied materials.

" Query 2.—Referring to 12th and 13th Vic.cap. 70. sec. 14. are the magistrates obliged toforward their convictions in every casn at Petty

Sessions under hand and seal to the Clerk of thePeace, to be by him filled among the rejeords ofthe General Quarter Sessions of the Peace."

The following is the reply from the UnderSecretary—

" Dublin Castle, 12th March , 1851." SIR—I have to acknowled ge the recei pt of

your letter of the 10th inst., inquiring whetherin cases where a tradesman sues for a suim under.£10, magistrates can award the amount , al-though materials were supplied by such trades-man. In rep ly, I have to inform you that theLaw Adviser thinks these cases are within the39th section of. tlie 13th and 13th Vic, cap.102, and that the magistrates' can awurd. liealso thinks , in reference to your Second Query,that under the I2th and 13th Vic, 70, sec 14 ,magistrates are bound to forward their convic-tions in every case at Pitty Sessions under handand seal to the Clerk of the Peace, to be filedamongst the County Records.—I have the honorto be, Sir, your obedient servant,

" T. N. IlEDiiroToj f ." The Mayor of Drog heda."For the benefit of the artiza.n class \ve insert

the 30th section before referred to . *nd uponwhich we think a second opinion could not exist ,than that expressed by the Law Adviij er of theCrown. As far as we are concerned we thinkit a groa t boon to be thus enabled l;o recoverour debts before magistrates- at Petty- . Session,instead of the tedious and expensive process ofthe Barrister 's Court. We must also observe,for the guidance of suitors under the Act, thatno debt can be sued for after the exp iration of12 months from the last item in the a.ccount orpayment , being made on account—

13th and 14th Vic, cap. 102, sec. 42—"Andbe it enacted that all persons , whether artifi-cers or servants , or otherwise , who shall be em-ployed to any species of work or labour what-soever for hire , whether they shall find materialsfor the performance of the con tract or not , sbnJlbe deemed , find taken to be labourers, withinthe true interest and meaniug of the provisionsof this Act , and shall be entitled tb recoverwages as ?uch , under and according to, the regu-lations aforesaid.''

NEW BOSS UNION

( From our own lieporter.)The first meeting of tl ia newly elected guardians for

Ilie present year wa» held on this dpy ; tliirty - firemember* being present.

On (he motion of Jl r. Rouiter , the Rig ht Hon. W. F.Tigfi , of Woodstock , was unanimously elected chairman.

Eubert Tolteiihum, Kan,., was aUo unanimousl y electedVire-chiiiriu an , and Michael Sweetman , Esq, D. ViceChairman.

The Chairman nor Vice-Chairman not being present ,Mr Swtmltnun took hit seat, and »a/d— Gentlemen , Ithank you sincerely for the honor you have conferredupon me by unanimously electing we to preside over toinfluential a body as you are. I do not intend making along speech on this subject, and shall therefore merely»ay that I will attend to tuedutie* devolving upon me tothe best of jiiy ability. It will be your duty now to ap-point committees in connexion with the Board , wiio willassist in thu management of the affairs of the Union , andunless those who may be selected will attend to theirduties , no i;ood will result from the appointment . If Mr.Magee, was well acquainted with BUC U matters ,would have the goodness to taka up the question , andhave the duties of tbete committee* defined , whichshould be posted in the Hoard room, be would renderus a material service.

Mr. Mugec thanked (lie Chainaan f or his opinion ofhim , and stited that by this day week be would lookover it , and be happy to attend to the suggestion.

On the reading of the report of the Visiting Commit-tae , it appeared that some females in the Ma^<et-houseAuxiliary had nut received a change of linen for eig ht andtwelve weeks'; it also appeared that complaints of a si-milar nature existed at Honletl's store—in short thatthe linen in these places was in a state of putrefaction.

Mr. llavvkshaw—Wesboull have the matrons or per-sons in charge of these auxiliaries before the Hoard , andin the meantime allow ma to ask the Master how dotsheiiccouiit for this neglect of duty ?

Master—1 cannot account far it at the Market-house ;I have not heard any complaints of the kind from themaster (Mr. Burke) who should have rep»rted it to me.Howeve r, I must suy, that I have nut a suff icient supp lyfor the inmates at present , and am compelled thereforeto hate those articles washed >>y instalments.

Mr. Hawkslmw inquired if there was not linen manu-factured in the house , to which we (lid not hear a directreplv , but understood the Master to suy that the uiulronWis preparing a number of bed sheets.

Mr. Curle'un — It is extraordinary that the Mutter canrequire articles of this descri ption—he could hava 200pair made in one day.

Master—There wus only a mere remnant of sheetingin the l'ouse when I came here ; I was obliged lo havetiit-m patched up to make them fit for iwe.

A very lengthened discussion on the subject followed ,with explanations from the seve ral officers connected withihe establishments on which it was considered advisable iohave the stouk of sheeting taken on an early day, nitUtha view of having those which might be found uieless ,ctut in the u.-uul manner , so that the clothing books wouldshow exacilv , the number available for present use.

The Master reported himself absent for u day or twoin Kilkenny, seeking a similar office lo ihut which hehohls here—h i» reusnti for reporting the circumstancewas in consequence of not liming a»ked the liberty of theBoard in a lormul manner ; and because of his becomingill in Kilkenny, and unable to return , us he otherwisewould without uny tleluy.

Mr. Carleton said that in consequence of a reportwhich the Uev. Mr. Doyle , the assistant chap lain , hadupon his book , it was necessary lor tLe Uiuster to makethe statement he did , which ha supposed was intended ana set-oir lo the charges contained in the report alludedto.

CHAPLAIN 'S KEPOKT .The report was read by the Clerk , hut from its great

Itngth we are precluded fri m giwng it iusertiuii as we in-tended. The mean points were—that , a pauper namedQuiuii died in the InfiriuHiy of the Workhouse withoutreceiving the ri' us of his church , and ihe Uev . Air.Doy le,. Ihe writer of the report , <'lnu y;«d the assistantmaster »i ih being the cause ol' ihe man dj ing wifhou 'his receiving the attendance of a i-leryyum i. 'I he lev .gentleman attended for the purpuae of su^tuiuiii -j hischarges , and stated in the strongest manner the enormityof the offence. The act , he said , was the blai-kesi thingthdt could be placed to the charge of uny • itc containingtha attributes u! a Christian:

Chairman—\Vh»t exp lanation can you give Mr. Wallto the charges preferred ugaiusl you uy (he chap lain ?

The Master endeavoured to give an explanation , butwould not be heard, as he was not lh« party accused.

Mr. Wall (nssikUnt master)—1 urn prepared to jjiveany explanatio n required of lue , ami now suy, that , whenI got notice of the paupvr Quiiui requiring the priest, 1madeus much haste in despatching a mestciiger for himas if iny own life depended upon the issue. It was tothe Hev Mr Walsh he sent the order , ui he was the chap-lain of the workhouse.

Mr Mugv c—Did you not know that rather Doy le wasthe person you should have aenl to , and thut he wus thepries! \t liu 'attended the sick calls of this house , and areyou not aware thut he resides much nearer to the Work-liou»e than Father Walsh , fur whom you sent ?

Assiitunt-Mu st«r—1 scut lor l-'ather Wulsh , ns 1stated , because lie is the chaplain appointed by the Com-inis.tiuners , and if any arrangements exiat between him-self anil his curates , l" was not aware of it then—besidesthis , 1 did not know where the Rev Mr . Doy le lived.

Chairinun— Such un exp lanation wuuhl do very wellif we hn<l but one death in u month ; but with thiny orforty here in one week it cortaiul y cannot be r«cel»ed ;you'are here tor the last six months , and you do not knowwhere Mr Doy le resides.

A Guardian—There should be a minuts on the booksthat Iho chaplain 's assistant should attend instead ofhimself.

Mr. Urown Clayton thoug ht that in the absence of anypositive proof of neg ligence on the part of the Assiataut-Musler , he should not be run down , particularly us hewas .not long i11 the house , and might therefore be notsufficiently acquainted with the established custom.

A warm and length y dissuasion wus continued on thissubject, in which Mr Magee , Mr Urown Clayton , MrItuisiier , Mr Uallavan , and stveral other Guardians tookan active part—some endeavouring to shew that it wasin cvDSHjuence of lh.: Master unit his Assistant havingbeen, reported by Father Doyle—for conduct lbs natureof which we shull forbear to mentien , us it is of a gravecharacter , until the intended iuvestigatiou takes place—that the practice of seuding for him on such occasions wasdeparted from ; others, that those officers were not at allto blame , inasmuch as they scut for Hie known chup-lain of the houae , and it was not their fault if he did notattend when sent for, or direct another to attend in bisp luce. It was shewn that bince the lit of January theattendanc e of the Kev Mr Wulsh and his ussittanis wasas follows :—Mtv Mr Walsh , 13 ; Kev Mr Doyle, 66;and Hev Mr Neille , 8.

Hev Mr Dovle stated that the thirteen visits paid byhis suprrior occurred in consequence of his being re-queBled to attend by the Assistunt-inaster , who , he con-tended , had departed from the general rule laid down andacted upon in that house, lie would ask, was not an es-tablished custo in the interpretation of the law ? Herethey hail a cusiotu established since the opening of thebouke , yet Mr O'SulJivan had violated it—in Uct it wasan ttxiutn , and neier did one apply more strong ly than thisin the present instuuee ; he thought it was not well totrample upon an admitted principle of ten years' stand-ing—-p er accidence the late chaj ilain , Father Murp hy, hadaltt iudKd once.

Mr Glascott—The direct and proper course was toscud lor the chaplain unless orders were made (o tincontrary ; as a magistrate acting for years on the bench ,I would not be guided by any established custom wheretlie law wus jil nin before me. It is only where it wouldbe obscure, or thai 1 had a doubt as to its intentions thatI would resort to an cstablishsd custom to assist me inmr decision.

Mr. lirulmn wus sure that there was not a single mem-ber of the board , would wish to throw any obstacles inthe way of the clergymen in the txerc'ue at' their duties.

After similar observations I'rom other member*, and theexutninutiun uf two nurses employed in the infirmary aswell us a female attendant , on the Assistant Master—theUtter being broug ht up to state why she was seenat , late hours in bis apartment —

Mr. Hat man thoug ht that the board ought to com* .tosome conclus on on the first subject before entering onanoiher—indeed they had lost sight of it altogether.

It was accordingly moved , and paised ununimousi ) ,thul the report of the Rev. Mr. Doyle be laid before thecommissioners with a view of their ordering an invest iga-tion into the charges contained therein.

STATE O» THE UNIOM ACCOUNTS.Mr. Brown Clayton in accordance with a notice pre-

viously given staled that in consequence of the disor-ganized state of tha accounts of the Union for a consi de-rable time past it became necessary for them lo in ike thestrictest inquiry into the cause of their baing in that state— be continued—I have beard various comp laints bothwithin and -outside of this house ; the ratepayers cer-tainly should not bo deceived , and I think it high timethat they should bear the truth , as to how thiiiKS standwith us in this establishment. I am therefore certainthat I am quite right in moving that the accounts ol thisUnion be investigated , and that a committee bi appointedfor that purpose , 49 also to inquire Into the general stateand management of the Workhouse , and report the re-sult to the Uoard .

Captain liudgiott seconded the motion , whiuL was una_mou»ly ea rried .

After the appointment of s very efficient committee ,and a discussion as to how a pood accountant could beprocured to attend them , together with other business ofu routine nature , the Board adjourned. .

WATERFORD UNION—THURBDAT .

On this day the newly elected guardians , andthe ex-officio guardians assembled at the usualhour. The Foll owing were present :—

Captain S. C. Morris, J.P. ; Michael Dobbyn ,;J P. ; Captain Newport , J.P. ; N. A. Power,J.P. ; Captain Anthony, R.N. ; Thomas L.Mackesy, J.P. ; John Bogan, Esq. ; AldermanPhelan ,' Alderman Woods, Terence O'Reilly,Joseph Dwyer, Patrick Veale, Richard Whelan ,Michael Gaule, John Moore, Andrew Kirwan ,John Nolan , Thomas Elliot , Michael Tracy,James Delahunty , Anthony Cadogan , JohnLawloi , and Rice, Esqrs.

Mr. Burke [Returning Officer] having readover his list of duly elected members , informedthe gentlemen present that their first duty was toelect a chairman for the ensuing year , and he wasready to hear the proposal of any member on thesubject.

John Bogan moved, and Captain S. C. Morrisseconded—That Sir Henry Winston Barron , bart.M.P., be elected chairman.

It was moved , as an amendment , by JohnLawlor , T.C., and seconded by Alderman Slaney—That Thomas Meagher, Esq., M.P.. be electedcliairruan.

Mr. Burke proceeded to poll over the membersand on concluding declared that Mr Meagher hadreceived the greatest number of votes, and was,therefore, duly elected. He stated that as Mr.Meagher was not then present it would be hisduty to proceed with the election of a vice-chairman—whereupon it was moved by Mr. Law-lor , T,C, and seconded by A. Kirwan , Esq,—That Mickael Dobb yn , Esq., be re-elected to thevice-chair. Passed unanimousl y.

Mr. Dobbyn having taken the chair, he pro-ceeded with the election of a deputy vice-chair-man.

Moved by Alderman Slaney ; seconded byTerence O'Reilly, Esq,—That James Kearney berc-electud for the ensuing year. Passed unani-mousl y.

Several gentlemen bore testimony to the ableand valuable services rendered by the Vice-chair-mati , and Deputy vice-chairman , whom they hadagain selected for those offices.

The Clerk proceeded to read the minutes of thelast board day, with th« correspondence , &c.

The Chairman stated—in reference to a letterfrom the Commissioners, requesting the guar-dians to strike a rate forthwith , in preferenceto the borrowing of £3000 from the Treasurer ;that Alderman Plielan and liimselt' had writtento the Treasurer, ;as recommended by the board :but he required an order of the board to autho-rise him to ask this loan from the head office inLondon ; in fact he (the cha 'tman ) understoodthat ic WHS a mere mailer of form . \Vith res-pect to the paragrap h in the ' letter just rc;id ,informing them that th i 'V could not le^n l ' y payinterest, for this loan out of the rates ; he wouldtell them that when the bo ard borrowed moneythis time twelve months, they Imd an accumu-lated interest to their credit , *.nt of which theTreasurer 's demands were satisfied. They hadfrom their manufactures, he thou ght , a sum of£70, after the past year—the whole sum paidon the advances they had received did notamount to more than £50. He , therefore ,thoug ht if they had funds from any other Rourcethan the rates of the Union , they might paythis interest and it would not be an il'.c^.;l dis-bursement.

Cap tain Morris—I think thut it would behighly objectionable to mak e a new rate now ,and bel ieve it to be most advisable to borro wmoney to meet our present dem imis.

Captain Newport—It would be well , at allevents, to lay the foundntion of a new ratenow ; if you defe r the preliminaries it will bethree months before you can bring it into ope-ration.

The Clerk stated that the necessary progresswas making in the preparation of the rate-books.

Chairman—It would be quite useless to setabout making a rate now ; it would be timeenoug h to have it in operati"n in the course ofthree months more , as the rural portion of theunion will be wholl y unable to meet any suchdemand upon them before that period. If Iam wrong in this view the country guardiansare here to correct me ; but I do say, that if youlevy a new rate now you will merel y receive thebalance between destitution and ind -pendence—you will upset the rural population by doing it .The Commissioners may tell you to make a rate,but we are the representatives of the propertyupon which those rates are made, and it is ourduty to protect its interests.

Captain Newport—One benefit wiil arise ,certainl y, by not making a rate now—the clerkand valuators will have more time to revise andcorrect the estimut's. There is a great deal ofproperty near Waterford in which I am con-cerned , much of which, at this moment , is setdown at twice its value.

Capt Morris was afraid that if they followed upthe course which they intended it would havea bad effect in as much as it would go abroadthat they would have no rate

Several guardians stated their opinions on thesubjeet, agreeing however , that it would be im-possible to collect a rate before harvest ; if theysought to do so, they would paralise thepeople.

The Chairman having called the attention ofthe guardians to the subject matter of the letter ,wished to know what decision they intendedcoming to upon it ?

It was then agreed that the money shoul d beborrowed from the Treasurer , and that the newrate be deferred until harvest , when fundsmight be expected in the country.

Chairman—It may bo satisfactory to theguardians to hear that , two of the young womenwho were sent to America last August , out ofthis house , have wt itten for their sisters from NewYork , and have forwarded two passage tickets ;and ten shillings each towards defray ing theirexpenses out.

The Board expressed its happ iness at hear-ing it .

A letter was next read from Doctor Kenny,the former apothecary of the Workhouse, re-questing the guardians might be good enoughto pay him a balance of his salary which wasstill due to him.

It was stated that Doctor Hamilton was theapothecary, at least that he had been appointedby the Commissioners at the time , for whichDoctor Kenny c laimed this balance of salray ;but , that Doctor Kenny performed the duties forsome three months afterwards .

Capt. Newport thought that Mr. Kenny wasnot only satisfied with the arrangement which the

guardians then made, but (hat ho had eventhanked them for it. "

Mr. Bogan believed that Mr. Kenny wouldnot make the demand he did , if he -were notfairly entitled to do so, and thought that htjought to be paid for his services.

Capt. Newport—We have just now beeudiscussing the subject of our finances—I cer-tainly will object to any payment of the kind,suppose it were but ten shillings.

Alderman Phelan would propose a resolutionto pay Doctor Kenny a quarter 's salary, as hewas employed by the year, and did not receivaa due notiee from them of his discontinuance.

Doctor Mackesy recollected the facts of thecase, and stated , that when the Fever HospitalCommittee brought in their arrangements,and recommended that one apothecary shouldbe appointed for both establishments , Mr,Kenny had no notice given him ; he hadacted in the most noble manner on that occa.sion as they remembered , and to compensatehim in a small way for the removal , they thencame to the conclusion of voting him a quarter 'ssalary. The Commissioners had at first re-fused to sanction the arrangement recotn.mended by the board , and they sent down Dt,Phelan to inquire into it—Doctor Hamiltorjhad previousl y £90 a year, and it was proposedto give him £100 for transacting the businessof both houses. He did not think that DoctorHamilton undertook the duties until the 12thof Jan., and under all the circumstances he wuof opinion that Mr. Kenny oug ht to be paid .

The Clerk in reply to Doctor Mackesy statedthat Doctor Hamilton was paid his salar, fromthe date of his appointment—that was all he hadto look to.

Mr. Dwyer—There was a motion made atthe time that Doctor Kenny should be paid hissalary for three months after the arrangementtook place .

Alderman Slaney—When Doctor Phelau wasdown he had a conversation with Doctor Kennyand he did not then tell him to desist from bijduties.

Chairman—I perfectly remember theappoint-ment of Doctor Hamilton. Doctor Kennycame up here afterwards as if he was the ser-vant of the boatd; and it was ment oned herethat he was attending as usual , and after a gooddeal of discussion it was agreed to pay him forthree months , particularl y as he had received noofficial notice of his discontinuance.

Copt. Morris thoug ht that tho Commis-sionerswould not f iat the payment of a salary to twoofficers at tlie same time when one was ap-pointed for the performance of the duties—itwas therefore idle to go father on the subject.

Doctor M.ickesy then moved thai it be refer-red to the finance committee .—Passed.

l) .i the reading ot a letter from the Commij .sioners refusing to sanction thu payment of Is. aweek to the nurses at the Fever Iiospital as theywere paupers , and should not , therefore, receiveany pecuniary remuneration for their service*,Doctor Mackesy said that the reason thissum was recommended to be given them was,that Doctor Connoll y found that the nurse3 didnot perform their duties properl y—he thoughtth it it was iiot at al l advisable to liava paupernurses there ; but the Comnri-sioner s were inerror , it is women from town who were a'readyengage.1 by Doctor Connoli y, that the shillinj aweek was proposed l<> be given to.

Capt . Newport read a report from the com-mittee book of last September in whicn b wasrecommended to p;iy three nu 'ses a shilling aday. The Cotnniij sioners did not object to itthen althoug h it w.t reiterated by the guar-dians.

Duet '-r Mackesy—It is onl y intended to girethis remuneration to the nurses in the sickwar-.] — those in tlie convnlscent wards, who ate-pauper s , may be remunerate d for their servicesby giving them extta diet or something in thatshape.

Capt . Morris—I do think thut the nursea ,whether pau iers or not , havj never done theirduty at all; I do not believe that one shillingn week will make them much better .

Mr. Bogan visited the bVver Hospitallatel y, and stated that he never saw anything sobadl y kept in his life.

Doctor Connoll y—It is now progressing veryrap idl y in improveme nt ; Mrs . Blake is gettingon verv well , and Doctor Hamilton is effectingsome salutary changes I am quite sanguine inmy hopes that that establishment .will be credi-table to the city in a short f.me ; and am anxiousthat a commitiee be appointe d to-day beforeany 'other , as gentlemen will not then have tosav ' that they are engaged for other busineis.'The Clerk slated thut -Mr. Burke (Poor W

Inspector) ha .) attended , during the week, andinspected the Workhouse and several auxilianMand made his report tlmreon . which he shouldread for the board , The report stated that allthings were in good condition with the excep-tion of Harden s store—the male side of whichwas in a filth y state ; that the ward-master badinformed him that there was straw in some 01the beds without being changed since Feb. last ;some of the able-bodied males were sent dow-»there, and he got them sitting over the nre «ithere was not a stons in it to be broken i thefemale side was not BO bad , but they we«nearly all idle. White 's store was in a beauti-ful state and it formed a pleasing contrast witiiwhat he had witnessed in the other.

Mr. Fardy explained that it wan out of ni>power to uttend to all the auxiliaries whilst n«was obliged to attend to so many other mattersof importance—th e ward-master in caygshould have reported those cases to him ana D

would at once remedy the evil. Withoutstore-keeper he could not Himself keepproper watch over these auxiliary houses.

It was agreed to appoint a store-keeper »

ADDITIONAL LAND.Captain Newport , on th :- subject said—It is

one of the most important duties we have toattend to in the management of the paupers ofthis union , to bring up the youth entrusted toour cure , in habits of industry and self-re-liance. The boys form a much greater portionof the inmates than any other class in thehouse , You will be con ei ring a very great be-nefit on the country , and on after generations ifyou do something towards getting up a systemby which they will learn to work for themselvesand be independent of the poor-house ; andsince I las t spoke here on this subject Ihave considered that nothing could be betterthan to employ the boys on agricultural labour.A quantity of land should be procure d for thispurpose to enable us to carry out the princi pleus it should. The clerk has received a letterfrom the New Ross Union , with a copy of apet ition to the Hous<> of Commons, pray ingthat power may be granted to boards of guard-ians to cmp !< y a greater porti on of land for thispurpose than they heretofo ie could. In conse-quence of the Clerk reading that letter , request-ing our co- operation , my attention was drawnto the matter. By all means encourage la-bour in this workhouse ; but not , of course tooffrr any injurious competition to free labourout of doo."s ; purchase or l< ase a quantity ofland , and emp loy them in spade husbandry.—By this you will lay the foundation of a futuretenantcy , which will prove the greatest benefitto the Country ; but above all do not keep themhere in idleness. 1 do not wish that you shouldcome to any hasty conclusion on the subject , butI beg you will consider its importance , and turnit in vour minds at home. Let us follow theexample of Enniscorth y Union ,v. here they havebeen most successful in training up the boys touseful labor , making if a self-supporting estab-lishment to a very great i xtcnt. They k«- i*p 20or 30 cows on the land contiiiU >i: s to it , and Iam informed that the milk of t!i ->«i» cows nearl ysupp l y the whole i-slaliltshmen *.. In the New.Ross Union we see lh p m »!< ' ¦• * ' r.'i thequestion w;\rn-.'y. ami ">\c .-!K ul ..' > our-M-lves to hi: left behind ; ab .v .i ¦ !:;gs weshould procure emp'oyme!i'. !•• . :w M MC'I'Cboys, as we find it ti> he essential to tln ir fu-ture r»ro *j ieots and happ iness.

A rEM Al .E l'AVPER — C H A R G E A G A I N S T ANO F K I U K I I .

In accordance with the notice which we twoor three posts back published , and which wassigned '' .1. llall y, F.I'." nn investi gation wascalled for this day to enquire into the case of apauper , mimed Margaret Power , who was ad-vanced in a s!ate of pregnancy, and who , itwas supposed , became so while an inmate in thehouse.

The Rev. Mr. O'Gorman , sworn and examined—He stated that having heard that MargaretPower lsfi the Workhouse in a state of preg-nancy, he (with the Rev. Mr. Mooney) reportedit to Dr. llall y, and then , in compliance withDr. llally's wishes, witness and Rev . Mr.Mooney, went to the girl's lod gings , and havingcalled for her, she immediatel y made her ap-pearance ; we asked her how li>n .- was it sinceshe left the Workhouse ,• she s;ii< i •• or about amonth ; witness and Mr. Mo' iv- vi •¦•: to thegirl 's lod gings and a<-ked her ti .-• . iii- stions ,under the impression that Mi . ii ¦• • i .n (clerk)was the father of the child.

Mr. Burke—As Mr. Bnrron is not on his trialto-day, nnd as his name is not mentioned in thematter, it is better say no more about him.

Rev. Mr. O'Gorman—We asked her was shein a state of pregnancy ; she admitted she was,and within four or five weeks of her confine-ment ; we expressed our surprise from her pre-viously good moral character , that the was inthat state ; we asked her had she not been inthe Board-room for some time , and in what ca-pacity ; she said as scrvaat to Mr. Iiarron , i! eclerk ; we asked her what she was in the habitof doing for him ; she said makiug fires , sweep-ing out the board-room , &c. ; we asked her thenwho WJS the father of the child she was bearing ;she said Mr. Fitzmaurice , the master ; we ex-pressed our disbelief of the statement , from Mr.Fitzmaurice's hig h moral character both as mas-ter and relieving officer ; we told her to rehYcttnd consider whether her charge against such anofficer wa6 likely to be believed ; we then askedher whether Mr. liarron had ever offered herany insult , or had made any dishonourable pro-posal to her , and also whether she had heard ofo girl named Mary Sheehan , who had left thepoorhouse , and who had been a servant to Mr.liarron in the bDard-room , and under what cir-cumstances the said Mary .Shuehan had left theworkhouse, and whether she heard anythingalleged by Mary Sheehan against Mr. Harron ,with regard to the said Mury Sheehan ; she(Margaret Power) replied that Mr. Barron hadnever laid a finger on her , nor never directly orindirectl y made any attempt to seduce her .jH e (witness) said this in justice to Mr. ISarron .

Mr. Barron—Sir , I could not expect anythingelse from you.

Rev. Mr. O'Gorman — She recollect edsuch a person as Mary Sheehan , andheard that she left the house in a state of preg-nancy ; and it was what every bod y said thatMr. Barron was the parent of the child whichsaid Mary Sheehan was then bearing ; she heardthat Mary Sheehan stopped at Kilmacthomas,where she was delivered of the child , and thatshe was sent to America by Mr. Barron , or athis expense ; we then asked her (Margare tPower) whether she had heard of a personnamed Joney lloran.

Mr. Burke made some objection to this evi-dence on tho ground of its being indirect , oronl y hearsay.

Rev. Mr. O'Gorman said, the reason thatthese questions were asked was, because a reportwas about town that some of the clergy weresupporting a person to prosecute Mr. Barron.Margaret Power said she had heard thatJoney Aloran was in the famil y way by Mr.Barron ; she (Mary Power) told us that , sinceshe left tho work-bouse, she had bren supportedby Mr. Fit/mauiice , from whom she had re-ceived £1, on her leaving the house ; and thatshe h.vl 10s. still remaining out of the £1 ; wethen asked her had she not made a difFerent de-claration before leaving the work house (thatFitzgerald , the porter was the father of herchild) she said she bad ; we then asked her wasit true ; she said it was false, and that Fitzgeraldwas not the father of the child ; we asked wh yshe told a lie , and on reprehending her , andtelling her the moral depravity of a lie undersuch circumstances , and osking her what couldinduce her to have told such a lie. she said shehad done so "to get rid of the annoy ing andimpertinent questions of some of the inmates."

Rev. Mr . O'Gorman then stated that he andRev. Mr. MooHey had another interview withher (Margaret Powers on Thursday last ,when she denied all her former statement ;she then stated that Mr. Fitzmaurice (master),was not the father of the child , but ihat Fitz-gerald (porter) was ; she also stated ,in answer tothe witness , that no person gave her money orinduced her to leave tin town since she madethe former statement ; nor had Mr. Barron , orany one else an interview with her between bothstatements in order to make her retract theformcr one.

Mr. Fiizmaurice asked Rev. Mr. O'Gormandid lie keep a memorandum of the first inter-view with her ?

Rev. Mr . O'Gorman—Yes ; it was at 7 o'clockon t l'e evening of the 5th March ; and thesecond inti rview occurred on the 20fi Mar ch ;in the second interview she persisted siiu hadgot £1 from Mr. Fitzmaurice ; I then asked herwh y be gave her the £1 if he was not the fatherof the child ?—she said she got it from Fi tz-geiald , throug h him .

[Here all the clergymen a* the b wcl includ-ing Rev . Mr. O'Gorman , sen., and Rev. Mr.Slianaban , V. P., Abbpysi 'e, gave Mr. Fitz-maurice an excellent character for honesty,moralitv, and general good conduct. ]

Rev. Mr. Mooney said , the reason he sus-pected Mr. Barron to have been concerned nthis case was, b ncause , about the time this girlleft the houe , hi: (Mr. B ) w.is making effortstn tjo to the Limerick and Watrrford Unions.

Mr. Barren said that that was not the fact ;for he might have been electfd at the Water-ford Union had he onl y attended. And inproof of that statement , he would appeal to thegentleman of the press , now hero , as to thetru 'h of his statement.

Mr. Burke , and some of the guardians said itwas not necessary ; for that had nothing, what-ever , to do with the question before the board.

Margaret Power sworn — I wni an inmate ofthe workhouse for 4 years ; 1 was occasionall yin and out of i t ; I can't say how long I was outof it ; I went out of it 10 weeks the r'rst year ;I not a pass to go ru t during the last year ; Mr.Filzmanrice let mo out one night ; I went to afiiemi's house of mine, and stopped there forone niuht ; I left th« workhouse now going onII weeks ; I li ft because the matron brou ghtme to an account , I being in the famil y way ;I 'd sooner go out then than stop in the house ;I did not tell the matron who was the father ofthe child. I told IIP T some one, but did not tellher the truth ; I told tho matron that Mr. Fitz-gerald was the father of the child ; she said shewould not believe me ; I .-till persisted that MrFitzgerald was the father of tho child ; I thoug htto get into the Water-ford union ; I stopped butone day in Stradlmlly ; the relieving officer gaveme a ticket for this union ; I came with theti< ket here ; I had a shilling in my pocket ; thomatron told, the porter to turn me out till Ispent the shilling ; I went down as far as Dun-garvan ; I never came back to the workhouse ;1 remained ever since with Peggy Morris^'(Black pool) ; I had more money outside at thetime I came to the woikh.. use ; I had it withPeggy Morrissy ; I gave it to her to keep forme ; It WBS a pound note ; I got the poundnote when 1 was leaving the workhouse ; I leftthe workhouse the day after the matron spoketo me ; I got the pound note from Mr. Fitz*maurice ; there was no one present when I goti t ; he said nothing when he gave it to me ;I got it in his own bed-room, about 9 o'clock inthe morning ; about 4 o'clock I left the house,when 1 went to town to Pe-j g y Morrissy ; 1gave her the£l after I came from Stradball y tokeep for me; I took the money back on thesam? Sunday from Peggy Morrissy ; no onecalled on me to ask me any questions ; I don'tknow when the clergy called on me; I was atPeguy Morrissy 's a good spell before the clergy(Father Mooney and Father 0'Gorman)~calledon me ; they put to me a question to know wasMr. Barron (clerk) the father of the child ; Itold him he was not ; Father Mooney asked mediii the clergy give me any money to swearagainst Mr. Barron ; I told him they did not ;he nsked me did Mr. Ban on come near me, ordid he send for me ; I told him he did not ; theclergy wer.t to me the other day again , andasked me who was the father of the child ; I toldthem it was Mr. Fitzmaurice [the master] ;they asked me had I any money ; I said I had ;they told me to show it to them ; I showedtbem all 1 had , 10s. ; I had it left out of thepounil ; I changed it in a house in the town ;the clergy came to me again on last Thursdayto the same house ; they asked me would I standto what I told them first , that Mr. Fi'zmauricewas !ho father of the child ; I don't know whatanswer I made them ; they told me I should bebroug ht to the board-room to tell who was thefather of the child ; I told them I would come ;Father Mooney said I should not go back of myword (what witness said first) ; I said on oneoccasion that Mr. Fitzgerald (porter), was fa-ther of my c:l;i!d ; I &aid it to myself that it wasequal to me which I'd say was the father , tillthe child would be christened ; the clergy toldme to think of what I said the first time ; I saidnothing to that ; I denied I said anything thefirst time ; I denied at that time that Mr. Fitz-maurice was the father ; I did not like to men-tion the master 's name , and that's the reason I

Mr. Burron—He i» in Youglml ; lie was porterthere , nnd he WBS dismissed , at I wai informed , for atrHimuciion of a similar nature.

Mrs Morrisny (matron) deposed that Mr. Fit/.maiirice'jcharacter , in her opinion , was excellent , and most moralus a mniter ; Margaret Power told her (witness) thatFitz eruld , the porter, was father of the child, and thatshe was perfectl y prppared to say that .

Mr . Lenihan (relieving officer) deposed that MargaretPower upplied to him for a ticket to get into the work-house , and that she then stated to him that Fitzgeraldwax the father of the child.

Mr. Burke asked Dr. Hall }' had he »ny question tonsk any of lha witnesses , when the Doctor rep lied in thenegative.

Mr. Tahilexu having addressed the prisoner on hit veryrrnd conduct in lauving his master so frequently, and in-formed him that they hud it in their power to imprison himfor three months.

The-Mayor informed him that he should be sent tojail for one month , with hard labour.

CATHOLIC CHURCH.WE have had occasion to record , in a former

number , our edification at. the crowds of piouspersons who nightl y attend the len ten sermonsof the Very Rev. Dr. M'Loughlin at the Fran-ciscan church. We are happy to perceive thattho strength as well as the zeal of this eloquentpreacher continues unabated. The congrega-tions increased to such an extent that onSunday night last, many persons had to goaway disappointe d ; as those who really gotadmittance into the densel y crowded church ;notwithstanding that numbers of respectablepersons considered themselws fortunate in beingable to obtain a place on either of the gallerystairs which were thronged to the very porch.

The attendance in the other churches of thecity, every evening, is also very lar^e.

The Church and State Gazette says that the Rev. A.Chirol (curate to Mr. Bennet) with hit wife and family ;also his mother, and several other persons ; and W. Fin-lason, Esq., (author of the pamphlet On the Legality ofthe Papal Hierarchy ) , with his wife ; and nlso several re-lations of the latter , have joined the Cuuich of Rome.

The Cattolica di Genova contains a letter writtenfrom Jerusalem by a relig ious of the Order of St. Franei«of ABsimiuru , during the readiig of which the heart of ,every Cnlholic cannot ft< ti to leap for joy, at the numer-ous conversions which are dail y eil'uuteil in that land of«o many holy associations. On the 1st of December last ,five. Corts abjured theircrrnrs ; on the 7th of the month ,a Protestant did 111o same ; on the 5th of Jan. , twoLondon ProtetUinti , husband and wife , follon-ed thapi u» example ; on (he 15th, a Jew anil unother Protes-nnt entered the bosom ol the church—and six ScliinmiilicGreeks, and a second Jew , placed thtmBelves under thecare of a . misaiuuary , who is n .iw instructing them ; onthe 16tb , a Schismutie Greek priest , ol the Hol y Sepul-chre , presented himself at th'i Convent of the BlessedSaviour, and pUced himself at the disposal of those piousreligions , while :t Greek deacon , also belonging to theHol y Sepulchre, luu heen payintj a visit to Hie JesuitFathers. All seem to indicate , sayB the pious religious ,that during the present year w« shall h»ve a considerablenumber of conversions .— Catholic Standard.

An English gentleman who had heen in Ame-rica for a long t ime , made a remark to us thisweek ,-, which may be of some interest to our ag-ricultural friends. He said that ' the reason tli eland of Ireland appeared so much dearer than landin A merica is , because Irish farmers are notable to manure their land , and hence it is notable to produce a fourth of what it ought.

THIS DAY'S MAILHIGHLY nlPORTANI

From oar London Correspondeut.LOND ON TH U R SDAY .— This day a deputation of Irish

members waited on Lord Clanricard , to pre»8 on him the

necessity of a Day Mail to Waterford, and other towns,

in the south of Ireland. Also to expedite t!.e .Mail to

Kilkenny. The lollon-ing members attended—Sir H. W.

Barron , Mr. Meagher , Mr. Sullivan , Mr. Greene , Mr.

Grogar , and Mr. Kealinge. I Mn happy to tell you that

they succeeded in getting a promise of a Day Mail to

Waterford , and a favorable promise of enquiry _ into the

other branches of the subject.The Ecclesiastical Titles Bill is put off until after

Easter for going into committee. The excitement here

on the subject bas rather increase'! than diminished.—

The speech of Mr. Gladslons wai the finest piece of

oratory and argument beard within Parliament for many

years. Indeed , oince the daysot Canning there never

was sucli a mateblesi piece of reasoning. As member

for the Univers ity of Oxford bis speech will have double

the effect throughout the land.

In the House of Commons fir 11. W. Barron movedthe following notice* of motion : —

To a»k the Secrelury for Ireland , if the Government,can give any return of the land thrown out of cultivationsince the year 1840, or any later period.

Return* of the aron amount paid for poor-rate in Ire -laud in tl iK year 184'i and the year 1830 And , of the(5ro« amount of county rate paid in Ireland for the year18-K3 ami for the year 185H.

H e l u i n of the amout paid by each county in Irelandfnr expenses of the constabulary ; distinguishing , thetemporary from the permanent establishment.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTDublin , Thursday Evening.

Tlie Bishops met in Dublin to-rlay to consulton. what course is to be pursued in reference tothe Penal Bill. It is understood that a DefenceAssociation for the Catholic faith will be formed ,and that the Prelates will have no objection , butwill , on the contrary, give all the aid they can,to its formation. J. B.

We may give ourselves the credit of beingthe first , and the last , in di awing the attention,of our Members to the importance of a day mailto Waterford , which is more full y .noticed in ourinteresting London correspondence , received this,morning.

V TALK OF JIARBlli i i L i n

The following, if not new, is .X 1 •.¦: st true —and is worthy of attention , at this part iculartime , when so many of 'cm' ;.re ru> liing incon-tinentl y into the hol y bauds of matrimony, to belost ' to us' to ever.' This little fable,' sai l my Uncle , ' may,

perhaps be of service to some poor t'evil , ' motewilling than wise.' '

A certain man once married a lady, whose re-putation for amiability of disposition was serious-ly questioned , if it was not , in reality, seriousl youestionable.

Ac the wedding everything; came oiF merril y,of course—the party gay, the supper rr.iigni-h'eent. The whole affair hud been emit i .nt l }1successful, and all parties extremel y deli cti led.

On retiring to his apartments , the gentlemanfound himself much annoyed by the mewing aiv.ipurring of a cat.

• What in the devil' s name is that ? he cx-claimed-

' Oh ! nothing, my dear ,' replied the bride ,' but my favorite cat , Pussita. ''

' Oh ! d n Pussita !—/ hate cats V An..!with this he most unceremoniously throw Pus-sita out of the second story window.

• Well ! if you havn 't (jot a temper ?' Yes. my dear !—you 'd better believe it !'* Every thing,' continued my Uncle . ' wcnl

on well, in that establishment —even to a warmdinner on Sunday.'

Now it so happened that u friend of tin: ubov tmentioned gentleman , who had , some monthsbefore , committed the error of marry ing ' anangel ,' took occasion to inquire of him ,—

4 How is it , that , with you , every thing ' goesmerry as the marriage bell ,' while I , on thecontrary, have almost given up the idea of Wear-ing pantaloons at all.'

Whereupon he related to him the story olPussita and the second-story window ,— '• With-out,' said Uncle, ' impressing upon his mindthe important moral—that it was n< cirssary toheij in rigltt.

Nevertheless , there was that in his eye, whenlie started for home, ' that told of treason '' Well !' said his wife , ' you 've come home at

last, have you ?—after keeping me, sitting up foryou—what 's the, matter ? You havn 't bi endri?tking, have you ?—you Juok very Grange. '

' Not in thu least, my dear—but / hale calx .lovey !'

' You do, do you ? Well , / like 'em /—that 'sall the difference.'

Hereupon fie unfortunate husb.ind mu^ e aclash at poor Tabby—who was quietl y snoozingon the sofa—and rushed imp iU'Ous'.y to thewindow ,

• You have bi en diinking. Wha' are yi>;igoing to do , monster ?'

• Throw her out of the window !', You 'd bclUr try it ! I'd like to see you do

it—I'd break every bone in your bod y ! Wh ydon 't you throw her out ?—I dare you to do it. '

He put the cat softly down on tin: sofa , huu;,'his hat on a peg in the entry, his m>tidim -ss ;uwliiid pantaloons on an eas\ oh&ir , and exclaimi -d ,-—

' Go in ! duekey darling, and win—1 did noihfjin riy ht.1'

' I rather think you didn 't—you 'd IIC U ;.T takiB fresh 6turt ! But don 't try that ga i u again,iii you 'll catch it . Corr.o to bed !'

And he went.{ Wrony irohi ihe he'j ihiiintj !' sihl UncleQh , dear me !—Bos/.w pape r.

Tiic inc"ii.'is)t ;:iry of these bigot.- is reall y lu-dicrous. Their vocabulary is poor in supplyingthem wish iLTins of conteiti] )t to hurl ut thel'uj ip . Cat inut they perceive that the more con-temptibl e they rv pn-sent his llulincss , the moreglaring is the ir own cowardice in fearing such afo:- ?

Thev liHVc imwci 1, t i -nitoiialrank.(.•liormuus ue.ilth , and , as they assert , the massof ' ihc people on their side. Yet we, who aredevoid uf all th se app liances , not only do notfear then ; ; bin, with Gfd' s blessing, hope tnmi' i thio w them. Anglicanism , on the otherhiiiiii , irnnis -iied by 15,000 parsons, f .rtih'ed byacts .if I' iirliameu t and cirr.umva'.lati d with gold,qu kes bc-foie one poor Cardinal—clearl y becauseits votaries have no faith in the truth of thatwinch they profess. Cowards onl y are vin dic-tive. An act i'f Parliament is but a poor propto a church. It is not by ignoring ecclesiasticaltitles that the t ru th ol' a reli gion can he substan-tiated. A rel.gion that is professedly basedupon the right oi private jud gment , and thatst iil K-ai -.s on pro tective laws as its buttress ,must be an imposture. The acumen of theSolicit r-General could not fail to dutect thisNid flaw in ihucasc of the establishment , and heaccording ly attempted , as did Lord Pnlmcrstonat a l;iter period , to give the debate a differentfo ;np li xion. yir A' oxaiuiur Cockbum flung theivli gious view of the ca.^e wholl y ovet board astroublesome lumber , ami justified the bill as therepulsion of an " illegal aggression " upon theri ghts of the crown. But avoiding Scylla , thelearned gentlemen plunged sounc into Clia-rsbdis. If the act of the Pope be alread y an" illegal aggression," there surely is no need ofa new law to make it illegal. ' If it be contraryto the law cf nations , then a protocol from theforek-n oiFicc, and not . an act of Parliament ,k'Vi'lled , not at the aggressor, but at tin; Queen 'sCatholic subj ects , who arc not charged with auyiill's.1 uce—i:-, we submit , the proper instrumentfor setting matters right. We cannot permitthe h ypnerisy of the aryumvntum ad misericor-diam in this alfair. Ihc Pope is, at all events ,as potent as King Otho ; and the minister whoblockaded G reece and bombarded Athens toenforce payment of Don Pacifko's pi..sties , can-not prctond that moderation towards the weakhas prevented the bo nbardment of Ancona inorder to extort an apology from the Pope for an" outrageous insult " to the Queen of Eng land.Thu bill before the house demonstrates the falsityof the pretence, that cither the law of nationsor the law of Eng land has been infringed.Wh y—as Mr. Sydney Herbert , in his ablespeech , asked—wh y introduce a new bill beforeeven an attempt was made to enforce the exist-ing law r— Catholic Standard.

We quote thu following pithy remarks from\he Glasgow Free Press. They arc exceeding lywell timed , curt and telling, iintl givo a truepicture of the " anti-Papal Aggression " party ,including their new adjunct, the higoted andintolerant heir and success j r of the late Sir llobc-rtPeel : —

" The Whigs , in open contempt of .ill rb.i tsanity cun say to saop them , still hurry on withhot haste to the i.'oo.'n which the sjiirit of this,age denounces against all tyrants. To pleasethe mob of high churchmen , and to prop up thetottering fabric of an indolent and over-gorgedchurch establishment, princi ples which were t -jthe party, hitherto , as the compass to the mari-ner, are tramp led upon as recklessly as weretlie relics of saints by the followers of JohnKnnx. The first yeur of the second half of thenineteenth century opens with an exhibition ofthe world' s industrial skill and the magnitudeof Whi g folly, recreancy, and turp itude. TheirPremier's is the name round which the bigotrynf t ' -.p. empire rallies—their cabinet the onl yone tint would dare to legislate again.st reli-gious ftee.lom. What Stanley rejects as th-jfruitful source of needless and noxious irritation ,Lord John Kuss.ell, heedless of the j vacu of theump ire, demands as a stop to the Cerberus o!fanaticism and human malice.

A worth y associate has joined th«j persecut -ing host , and all monkey dom is in i-xtacics ,The unworth y heir of the late Sir K. Peel' sname and lands has fleshed his maiden sworl inthe causu so long congenial to him. If famebeli -j him n > ) t cirreg iousl y, he is but import-ing into Britain from the scene of his formermission the rancorous hatred and perfidiouspractice s which arrayed the Swiss against eachother in hVcrnccine strif e, and filled with infi-Jelit y and ' liberal' scorn of all leli gion the landof Holler and of'lVll.

The supply of the secondand third- class refreshment courts has beer , un-dertaken by Mr. Masters , of Oxford-street.

All along the central avenue are disposed atintervals pedestals for the different groups orbronze , marble , and plaster , which will thus bsplaced in the most favorable light. Indeedthat part of the Exhibition dedicated to statuaryand the plastic art promises lo be especially at-tractive and interesting. British scul pture islike 'y to be well represented upon this occa-ion.Reports speak highly of the produ ctions of Air.Henry Wtekes, and of Mr. Calder Marshall.The former of these gentlemen sends no lessthan four works for competition : a mode! of thestatue of the latc> Marquis Wellesl y, executed forthe East India Company ; a '• Sleeping Childand Dog/' and two others. Tho transport ofarticles dors not proceed very rap ii/i y. Theagents employed in this department had a longinterview with Mr. Dilke on Friday, and everyprecaution has been adopted to prevent therel)oina any fatal delay or procrastination.

His most important tluit exhibitors shouldknow that it has been decided that the whole ofthe flooring of ihe buih li.ig must bo laid downby the 2nd of April and that consequentl y, nowaggons or other vehicles will be allowed in thebuilding after that date. All packages or t,r-ticles which cannot be conveyed into the build-ing by hand must , therefore , be practicall y ex-clude.!. Goods will , oi' course, < ontinue to be re-ceived at the eastern or western ends <if thebuilding, and not, as is the case at present , in diebuilding itself. Except hi ca-.-cs where exten-sion of time has been granted beyond the 2ndof April , all articles which cannot be conveyedby hand to their respective places in the bui ldingwill be excluded. This decision is rendered ab-solutel y necessary, in order ti insure the com-pletion of the fittings and the trrangemciHs ofthe articles, which cannot of course be dono solong as a large portion of the centie of the build -ing continu es to be used by waggons and othervehicles arriving with goods.

The American fri gate •• St Lawrence" has atlength arrived. She brings a much larger quan-titp of contributions than was at fi rst expected ,there being upwards of 500 exhibitors in all ,and between \,000 and '2,000 packages, extend-ing lo r. tot.il of nearl y 1,000 tons of generalproducts of industry, many of which are of greatinterest and of considerable value.

Sonic of the packages are very large , consist-ing of machinery , models, sculpture , &c. Thelist of exhibitors alone occup ies three columnsin the New York Herald, of the 13th uit. Onecurious item is an immense block of zinc oreweighing lG,400lb. ( l i ght tons), nnd is prob ibl ythe largest sing le block of that ore ever obtained.It is sent by the New Jersey Exp loring u:idMining Company, and cost that associationmany hnndrfd dollars to transport it over themountain roads from the mines to its place ofshipment. From tho nugniludc as well asfiom t IK; pccnlii r.ity of this kind of ore , this lilockis esteemed a great curios ity.

Every facility has been alforded by the South-ampton Dock Company for the landing of theunods free of all dues , intl tho South WesternKaUwa y Company has undertaken lo conveythem all to London free of ch.irges.

After discharg ing her cargo, we are informedthat the Sf . Lawrenceis ordcicd to take on boardthe remains of the celebrated Commodore PaulJones , now reposing in V'aris. The ashes cf thefirs t Republican naval officer under GeneralWashington are thus to be honoured by specialremoval across the Atlantic in a shi p of war.

In Scotland great interest is taken iu the Ex-hibition. Mr , Hremtier , of Wick, has preparedlor it three models , which have been muchtalked of and admired in that nci ^hbour li-'iod.—

" The f i i s t i s n beautiful mode! of die GreatBritain steam-shi p, as she lay on the strandat Dundnim bay, with all the ingenious appa-ratus and lever power by which Air. H. achievedthe feat of removing and sending her afloat.The vessel and her boats are made of tin , neatl yexecuted and painted ; and when set out: withthe chains , boxes, &c\, used on tlie occasion ,look exceedingly neni . Next is Lossieinouthharbour , winch Mr. Hremner built a few vearsu;^o. The plan of shutting out the water fromtlie harbour , whilst the operation of blasting therocks within was proceeded with , is shown bythis model , which is said also to be an interest-ing work of arc. Tlie third miniature by Mr.H . consists of his patented plan of building har-bour , by caisson*, showing how several hun-dred feetof u harbour can be built in the caisson ,then towed by steamers to a distance , and thereplaced upon the intended site."

If finished according to the sketch approvedof by thu Executive Commissioners , as no doubtit will be the Hig hland stall will , perhaps , provenot the least intciesting part of the exhibition ,to Scutch or Hi ghland eyes ;it least ; und weare most happy to be a'j le to add that, for theproper decoration of t!ie .stall, a magnificentdeer 's head and andiTS , an eag le, and w heron ,liave been most kindl y lent by gentlemen of thecounty of Ross.

Tho misunderst anding - between ihe represen-tatives of tho foreign countries and the ItoyalCommissioners , have , as we predicted , beenhapp il y lerniinfited. France wanted space, a .dwas dissatisfied ; on the oilier hand , the Com-missioner s of N'orth Germany found that x largeramount of space had been allotted i.o thatcouniry thin was required , and they ac-coniing ly gave up fo.ir bays ; Swecd 'n andNorway also gave up the sainn amount of .spacefor ;, similar reason. The United States repre-sentative , actuated by the most generous mo-tives, and with a desire to render every assist-ance in the settlement of the difficulty, con-sented in the most handsome manner to give up.5 bays , with 1 the understanding that , should theremaining fpacc not prove s'lfnciont , some addi-tional space wa< to be granted in the gclk-iies.An amount of space equal to thirteen buys onthe forei gn side was then placed at the disposalof thn cxe fu. 'ive. who. in order to prevent any

appearance of partiality with respect to its dis-posal, decided that the representatives of thefore i gn countries should divide it among them-sclvo-i in any manner which they might thinkfit , regard being paid in its distribution to thegeneral uniformity and arrangements of thebuil ding. Several meetings took place uponthe subject, and ultimatel y the additional spacewas distributed in such a manner as to givecomplete satisfaction to all parties concerned.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.{From the Daily News.)

The spirit of the lloman Catholic Churcl , theidea which presided at its formation , and directsit still , is sovereignty, and spiritual sovereigntyintended to rival thu feudal soverei gnties of theage in wnich it sprung up. \Ve all know howpowerful were forms and symbols in that age,and how greatl y the mere assumption of autho-rity u)' the. priesthood contributed to their ,attain ing and keep ing it. The mode of whichthey wielded this authority inculcated the tenet son which it was based , was not by re a ? on orthe mure exposition of truth , it was by intimi-dation and pe secution , means still exercisedlargely in .Roman Catholic countries. But ' italso by filling and getting possession of men 'simag ination. It dazzled them by its sp lendour ,its wealth , its power. It penetrated to theirhous.-s in the shape of a conf..'ssor , filled theirstreets and public- ways with professions. Itproscribed the senate and the munici pal assembl y,offering itself as the giver of counsel. Withequal jealousy it orbade the 'Irsv.rn, and insistedon it-elf furnishing the only scenic snd operaticamusement. A'i:ong the rustic population itp lanted monks of the peas-j ut order ; and in citiesmonies of the civic order , with their asceticism ,their mysteries their common wealth , their in-dividual poverty . Nunneries of die same prin -cipal, facinating and dissocialising the imagina-tive mind of woman , funned part e;f the samesystem. Then , there was not a day in tli t weekthat had not its saint : :ind ceremony , variedfrom month to inoirh with great fis: ;v,ds toumu.se, occupy, and dazzx- a n.ind bu\vi]de:edin this religion of idlesse.

All lh.se. things—their convents , their pro-cessions , their pomp, their di gnity and autho -rity that sloops n-j t even to the thro sie—theirarmy of father confessor- , possessed of tlie se-crets end commanding the wills or every family,and lords over the action s ai-.d decisions ofj adges of statesmen , as well as of tlie leaders ofthe mob— ill these are means of propagatin gthe Roman Catholic re igion. Xow \vu Liberalshave a dread of this iloman Catholic reli g ionprevailing, illiberal as it is in all its tendencies,incompatible with freedom of action or ofthoug ht , and even with tiic dignity of men. Wecannot , however , deny it full exercise j f thupower of the reason , of argument , of persunsion.\Vhen epochs o!" political rea ction , like the pre-sent , occur , and when classes of propert y andintelli gence come to dread the advance and pre-valence of the peop le, and t:tko :efugc ugai.i.sisudi prevalence in the restoration of a reli gionwhich best knows how to bri -ll ;; and to crub apeople, we cain;ol oiler any effectual icsist.inceof this tide-

After three months of incessant dis -eu>si .;t i we may also presume that u-c have gaineda siiilicienl insight , into the opinions of 'lie pe -j -p le <.f Eng land. As tliose o¦ inions have beenbut little iilluded to in the debate , an.l when ol-luded to have been mentioned princi pal ly withihe purpose of misrepresenting them , it may beworth while .it this part icular crisis to remindthe public of what those opinions reall y wee.It has been the fashion of those who are lookedupon as pre-Hiiiuntly liberal, and whoso <o:i»"t;int•appeals ire to the popular voice so long as itcoincides with the views of which they are theadvocates , to speak with the most superciliouscontempt of the great po; ;iilir movemen t whichwould seem to have an esp. -cinl el-iim to thesupport of these expositors of popular wantsanil wishes. Hut they have not onl y treated thismovemaut w i th conte mpt , t l .ey h.'vie also gross-l y misrept esiiited its tendency and meaning.Every one who has allu>kd to the public me' t-in-^a

of the last three months has spoken of them

as outbursts of bigotted intolerance , as. demon-strations L'ol ii!) by the elertrv in defence of theirrank and emoluments , as efforts directed againstti ,c spread of thu Catholic reli g ion at the ex-pense of its. rival denominations ; as embod y inga feeling r ;ilher theological than political , moresectarian than nati onal , and more fanatical thanloyal. Is t l iib , or anyth ing like this , a fair re-presenta tion of the great and unanimous move-ments which during the last fe »v mouth s we havewitnessed and recorded ? Did not every meet-ing anxioii ily protes t its wish to preserve invio -late , notwithstand in g the aggression, the prin-ciples and practic e of tolerat ion ? Did not al-most every speaker carefull y distinguish betweenthe conduct of the Pope of Koine and his RomanCatholic leilow-subjects ? And did not almostevery iii'.cling exhibit among its most activesupporters , p . r.-ons estranged from the faith anilhostile to tin* pre-eminence of the Church ofEngland ? Was not the prayer of almost everypetiti HI , t i iar m-.-asures mi ght be taken to coun-teract Papal aggression ? And was Parliamentever a sice. I to prevent the spread of the Catholicfaith by the fair and leg itimate weapons of dis-cussion and controversy ? We are sure that , noone who has nuul e it his business io ac qua inthimself with the proceed ings of the public meet-ings on tiiis cpiestion can deny that this is a t rueaccount of their general scope and tendency ;and being strong l y impressed with thi s , k isw.th sumo impatience that we have heard theconstant misrepresentation of thu sei.t.iiu cnU ofthe Eng lish peop le by tnoso who , o;i most oc-casions, iissuuii ; pecul iarl y to icprcsuut then.It is, duubtless , very disagreeable to those gen-tlemen to find themselves in so signal n minority.Hut the publ ic have seen the true bearings ofthe question with at least as much acuteness asthey have, und it will avail them little to seek togive a false colour to the deliberatel y expressedviews of persons as intelligent and as clearsighted as themselves . Mi ght we not , also , inour turn , on behalf of thu aspersed public , a-ktliesu gent lemen whether it is entirel y on pureund philosophical views that they have arrived atthe conclusion that nothing must he done to ar-rest the career of Rome ? When they accusethe recent public meetings of an overweeningpartiality to the Establishment , may not theiropposition be in many cases attributed to anequall y powerfu l dislike ? Have they never feltthat the aggression of the Church of Home is astep towards the demoliti on of tho unioi 1 betweenChur..-h ij inl .S!a:.1, and the ir. t iO ' l - ic t inn of a vo-luntary system of reli gious, worshi p !

This paper than which no other in the king-dom changes its political garb so frequentl y,has been for some time indulging itself in thevery laudable work , no doubt , of calling the pre-sent Min istry to account for its uselessness, andthe manner " in which it is conducting affairs ofthe nation.

After in forming its renders that , during thepresent session , the works of nil nations havebeen placed in a glass-case ; but , that thegovernment have frittered away the same periodand all its works remain in an unfinished state ,it alludes to the approaching dissolution ;:—

" There is a black cloud—not in the hori-zon—but one over head in the shape of a disso-lution. It is not yet clear whether the existinggovernment is practical ; nay, the chances arethat it is not. Another suih hitch as we havehad , or rather a continuance of the presenthitch, will compel a dissolution—should it b°staved off this 1 year it may still be unavoidablenext spi '.ng. But , unless Lord John wishes tosell his part and go down to posterity the lastand least of the Whigs, he must bring forwardthe Bill for tho furtherance of the British elec-toral system , which he has had in hands forsome time. That , however , cannot be expectedto pass without a groat deal of debate extend-ing, perhaps , into two sessions. In his ownmind and in a very rational estimate of thelabour and difficulty involved iu the task , hislordshi p has rserved the Bill to the less occu-p ied session of 1852 ; but the evidence of thelast seven weeks abundantl y prove that it is un-safe to postpone a measure of such absolutenecessity a day longer than need be ; for everyday bi ings us nearer to the crisis when we mayregain the assistance of a. new parliamentaryreform act to s .VP. the- country from the utnvis tperil , viz , :—The temporary ascondancy of aparty ai utter discord with public opinion amithe interests of the Emp ire. It must soon beasked , with some regret, not to say, despair." But , what is to be done? " Should that ques-tion be asked in the manner we antici pate in themsjj i 'h of May, we should ceita inl , entreat allp .trti - .'s to agree ti wind up the. session by asummary argument . The chief features of itwould be the renewal of the income tax for oneyear, and the payment of the surp 'us , such ofit , at least , as tliegen -lenicu at Capec can sp.n et-i the Coiuinis.iio i.ers for tlie reduction of thenational debt Next february, it is possible ,that the hi.'itus produced by the present distrue-tion s , or rather by tiie recent proceedings of HisHOLINESS may have called down , and Parliamentmay be able to app ly itself to a legislation of •:more ordinary character.
