« 0bfic Cijcne.—Those Who Have An Extens...
« 0 BfIc cijcnE . —Those who have an extensive fl ^ -ffiffden ' ^ . consequently require a large mtitv of verbenas , salvias , petunias , scarlet tf ^ ai uums , and other similar plants for bedding fj-pehould now look over their stock and select liw plants of each sort from which to obtain s . jogs . These plants should be re-potted with tor rich light sandy mould , and then placed in ibrcing p it or a slight hot-bed in order to induce vmio "r ° » ' * ° ^ " ^ P P ^ enty ° f young shoots fjremtmss- lt fe of S ^* importancethat this work jfcommcijced in good time , in order that the plants J uch are propagated may be strong and well-rooted Cos wbenturned out into the beds in May and June . x vthc phmts are weak and small when planted ont , snonia to
Zj the season nappen prove untavonrable , * v dumps do not attain their full beautv until Sepi ^ j ^ r and October , when they are liable to be iiBrt dbyhcavyrains and frosts . With two or three ** jcn frames , and plenty of dung to produce and Lyntain a gentle bottom heat , the propagation of all liQ soft-wooded plants may be easily carried to any Sent desired . Care must be taken to allow therank Lt and steam to blow off before the plants or cutrSg ; are put into the frames ; and over the surface of . vdung spread alayer an inch deep of old tan , sawtpt , or cinder ashes , on which to SCt the pots . Those Coa dopt theplan recommended of a small pitheated ^ ihh <> ' wlltev > and having in one division a small i- tj-Tdter tank , may carry on , their operations with
rjest facility , and without the uncertainty and risk yofh always attends the use of any fermentingmater jL The Grecvlmtse . — -It often happens that in the caofiC ofthe winter tlie roots of some plants have got jmoa bad condition , owing , perhaps , to a defect in [^• drainage , or being pot-bound , orsome othcrcause ; jndsueh plants it is highly desirableto re-pot atonee , ^ waiting until the usual time for this operation jail arrive . A careful eye will have detected the jjuptoms which indicate some unsoundness at the ' wi , and all plants showing such symptoms should be coked out and rc-potted . Set the * plants , when relotted , in the most favourable position for light and ir- and for some time water sparingly , Tlie
grccnponse may be freely ventilated every day while the weather continues open and mild . The Flotver Gar-[ fot . —Continue to plant out evergreen and deciduous ghnibs , roses , & c . The pruning also of all the ornamental shrubs , roses , & e ., maybe proceeded with as jasurft offers . —MVs Weekly Messenger . EtomsTs' Flowers . —A visible alteration has taken p lace in the whole tribe during the past week or ten Jjavs . Tulips have begun to appear above ground , jnd in order to prevent damage , and , if possible , to jaalje " assurance doubly sure , " put about a table spoonful of silver sand over the protruding spikes ; this will , in a great measure , prevent anv frost from
affecting them ; it should , however , be done before the leaves separate . Auriculas may now be topgressed , though sonm defer it to the latter end of the month ; wc prefer doing ^ it now , as the risk of injurjBgthc growing fibres is not so great as at a later period . Carn ' . 'tions . —The centre leaves arc beginning to move , and assume in their progress a singular bent appearance . It is absolutely necessary that { hey should have all the air possible . Pinks . —Where tlits * have been planted late , and have not yet got feirlv hold of the ground , earthworms , which are cowtroublcsome , arc apt to drag them out . The plant s must occasionally be looked over , and when the surface of the beds are dry fasten the plants .
Hardy ram axd Iutchex Gabdet . —The late heavy rains have been favourable for newly-planted beef , by washing down the finer particles of soil from Hie surface amongst the fibres . In the Kitchen-garden pweeeu with the usual routine of trenching and bifpariag for spring-crops . Earth up peas slightly Esther appear above the ground .

Guard the brmcr from birds when the sashes are off ; and young srops from slugs , « . v . c . Potatoes . —I have * observed latclv , savs a
correspondent of the Observer , the result ol some experiments which had ljeen made in raising potatoes ; and from trials which I have also made , I entertain no doubt but that planting whole potatoes of a middling size is by much preferable to those which are cut . In dry ground , or -in ordinary seasons , the latter , no doubt , grow very well , but there is always a loss by cutting in pieces the large potatoes , while the others are ready , arenot so valuable , and have the skin entire . In damp or wet ground not thoroughly drained , or in cold backward seasons where vege tation is checked , the cut sets parch and never grow , so that blanks of some yards arc very visible ; whilst the drills planted with whole potatoes are as
close as a hedge . I have also made some experiments as to the best and easiest mode of keeping the one crop of potatoes in a proper state for use until the following crop is ready . Persons residing in the country who have frames of glass , can have [ potatoes very early- ; and they can also have old pOta-[ lOcsicpt in pits in tl » earth , & c ; but people resiJfhigfin towns , the lower classes especially , have no saeh conveniences .- ' In the spring , when the potatoes begin to grew , they send out long shoots , and when these are removed others succeed—the root all the time shrivelling and wasting its substance . An
effectual way of killing the vegetative powers at that period ( and no sooner ) , oceurred to me . Theheat of coiling water bring 312 degs ., and threemhiutes being safieient to boil an ejg , the question eame to he , how short a time _ would effect tlie present object ; and an immersion till a person could count six , seems amply snUcient . This might Detested exactly , and be done aialarge scale with a copper and netted bag . Potatoes so served keep for many weeks quite plump and ircsn , and until new ones could be got in the market a a reasonable price . This plan may also be useful Iw preserving them longer fit for use at sta , where vegetables are not to he had .
SrasiirciE ion Hat . —The writer of a letter from Newtown , near Worcester , . says— "As every propriekt of cattle is anxious at the present crisis to make die most of his provender , and as some of your agri-Cttltnral readers may not be aware of the advantage < a mixing turnips and turnip-leaves or tops with straw chaff , I take the liberty of calling the attention of dose who are at fault for hay , and are fortunate taough to have a few turnips , to the subject , as I presnne they would find it answer verv well as a substiide for hay . I have adopted the plan of cutting up tonup-leaves with a chaff-engine , and mixing it with ciaff , during the last month , and I find that , when araw-chaffis mixed with about one-third its quantity
« leaves so cut , store cattle cat it with aviditv , and Co remarkably well with it . If the roots are reduced » small particles , and mixed with the chaff , it anarereastill better purpose . When the turnips are snail , and but few grown , it would be advisable , in jader to make the most of them , not to-pull them ! «* we the end of March or the beginning of April , as they would then produce a good deal of top when A would be most useful There niav be many leaves gathered for present use , without taking the main grout or injuring the turnips , provided thev are ax > sen off an inch or two from the stem . If the tops £ re tolerabl y large , an acre will produce three or four fart loads ; but if they are allowed to remain , a | reaterpart of them will fall offand decay round the

former experiment , and raised with saw-dust in oblong heaps—a method by which an equal quantity of saw-dust was carbonised , but it was found necessary to turn oyer and mix the heaps while the bimung continued , and thus a greater quantity of ashes was prodaced among the charred ashes than would otherwise have been the case . When this carbonised dust was applied , along with lime , to grass , potatoes , and corn crops , the result proved higldy satisfactory , andin one instance its beneficial effects were more obvious the second year than the first . In order to avoid the expense of purchasing lime-shelis , and to show at the same time that the beneficial eflects ofthe charred dust could not be ascribed to the lime used in the process of charring , another method was adopted , namely , bv preparing two or
three tire heaps of brushwood , which , after thev had burned for some time , were covered with a thin coating of saw-dust ; wherever the fire broke out to anv extent , additional saw-dust was applied , and this wa * s continued from day to day , a thick coating being laid on in the evening , wliich was partly raked off again in the morning , so as to retain a regular thin covering , through which the air could pass , to cany on the burning within the heaps . By this method Mr . Bishop has converted into charcoal 600 bushels this season , and it has been applied in different ways to turnips , and also used as a top-dressing , partly by itself , and partly in mixture with guano , ammoniacal
water , malt cummmgs , and other substances ; and in all these cases its beneficial effects have been more or less apparent . Tlie aptness of this substance to imbibe the fertilising properties of liquid manure , the ammonia of byres and stables and the effluvia of confined and unhealthy habitations , is a circumstance which entitles it to mueh consideration . It is recommended that the saw-dust , when taken from the mill , should be deposited in a dry airy shade , as it is exceedingly liable to imbibe and retain moisture—a circumstance which greatly impedes the process of charring . By the above process it is calculated that saw-dust ) may be converted into this useful manure at the rateof abjut one penny per bushel .
A New Baulev . —In July , 1838 , Mr . Noble observed a single ear of barley in afield of theDunlop species , wliich , from its marked difference from those around it , as well as from any in the neighbouring fields , he supposed might turnout to be a new species . When ripe this ear was secured , and the following vears the grain was sown in a garden , when it was found that the produce retained all the peculiarities of the original ear . The seed continued to be preserved and sown for several successive seasons , till , in 1842 , about two quarters were obtained . This was sown in a field , a portion of wluch was at the time sown with English barley , mainly for the purpose of ascei-taining the comparative earliness of the two vai-Hies , but also with the view of determining their comparative productiveness . The result was , that in
respect to earliness , the English had the advantage by three or four days ; but in regard to productiveness the new variety had a marked superiority , yicldinsr at the rate of 11 bolls , or G 6 bushels per acre , while the English did not exceed 7 * bolls , or 35 bushels per acre . A result equally favourable was obtained by various individuals who procured seed of this new variety for trial , the produce in one instance being at the rate of 14 bolls per acre . Its superiority to the early English barley , both in respect to quantity and quality , seemed obvious to every one who had an opportunity of making the comparison . The distinctive marks of this new variety are , lst , theglossy whiteness of tho straw , which remains up to the time of ripening without
the least tinge of brown , a colour , more or less observable in all the other varieties ; 2 nd , the strength oft he straw , which is much greater than in the common kinds ; and 3 rd , the greater distance of flm grains from each other than in the ordinary -varieties ; so that , for example , an ear of the new variety with 12 grains on eacli side , will be found fully three-quarters of an inch longer than one with the same number of grains in either the Chevalier or early English bailey . The advantages of this barley are its superior productiveness ; its length of straw " ; its tillering properties ; the distance from each other at which the grains are placed in the ear , which is a recommendation in damp climates , as the moisture is not so easily retained as in a compactly constructed
ear . Extiiaobdixakv Pio . —A fine pig , of the small breed , belonging to William Hornsey , of Ingleby Greeiihow , and bred by SirWiliam Foulis , Bart ., was slaughtered on Tuesday , the 7 th instant , weighing the astonishing wcightof 52 stones , 14 lb . to the stone .

Eoccatiok Rs The East Ixuies—At A Late M...
Eoccatiok rs the East Ixuies—At a late meeting ofthe Statistical Society , Colonel Sykes , F . R . S ., Vice President , in the chair , the chairman read a paper respecting the statistics of the Educational Institutions of the East India Company in India . The institutions date from comparatively so recent a period that the Hindoo College at Calcutta , the most ancient amongst them , with the exception ofthe Sanscrit College at Benares , was only in its twentyeighth yeav in 1844 , and that many of them are only of two or three years' standing . The materials used by Colonel Sykes were derived from the official reports of the several boards of education to their respective governments , for the years 1841 to 1844 , inclusive . The vernacular languages taught in the respective schools appear to be Oordoo , Hindoo , Bengalee , Ooreah , and Burmese . Of the several institutions , the Medical College presents the
unexpected and singular feature of turning out accoucheurs , surgeons , and anatomists from almost every caste , and Mahomniedans as well as Christians , which Colonel Sykes states , is to him , " with his forty years' knowledge , a marvellous change , the natural as well as religious repugnance which must have been overcome in these castes bearing strong testimony to the changes that can be effected in the native mind . " The Bhagulpore Hill School , which was established to improve the moral character ofthe rude tribes of these hills , has been eminently successful , although it had to contend with the difficulty of the people having a language of their own , ana the necessity of first teachingthem Hindoo . Col . Sykes considers that the opinions expressed in the reports alluded to , that ihe Mahomniedan population are averse to receive European instruction , are not borne out in the number of the returns . The total
number of students is 8281 ; there are 1683 Mahom' medan students to 60 So Hindoo students . Some have calculated the Mahommedan population as low as one in 14 Hindoos , while the highest estimate , he believes , does not equal one in nine . In either case , the proportion of the Mahommedan students far exceeds the proportion of the Hindoo students relatively to their respective populations , being about 1 in 4-9 of the whole students . Five-eighths ofthe whole students learn English ; a comparatively small number learn Sanscrit—viz ., 426 ; while 572 learn Arabic , and S 01 Persian . Benegalee has the greatest number of students—viz ., 2796 , followed by Hindoo , 1771 , and Oordoo , 1494 ; these languages being
chiefly spoken under the Agra government . There are 243 Christians in the Schools , and 197 who are neither Christians , Mahomniedans , nor Hindoos . These are chiefly BuddistsatMoulmein , or low castes of the Bhagulpore hills . Out of 2420 students under the Agra government , 237 S receive gratuitous instruction , and only 42 pay . In Bengal only 1572 students pay , and 4289 receive gratuitous instruction . This is questionable policy ^ and the Bengal government are desirous of modifying it ; and the Bombay government have found advantage in imposing a school fee of trifling amount . Of the orphan schools , charitable institutions , and missionary schools , Colonel Sykes had no means of giving an account .
Researches rs Sours Ameiuca . —M . J , Linden , acelcbratedBelgian traveller , has returned to Brussels within a few days past . He left Belgium in 1841 . He has explored successively , in three years and a half , the llepublic of Venezuela and New Grenada ^ Jamaica , and the eastern part of the Island of Cuba . This traveller , who is known to the learned world by his preceding visits to Brazil and Mexico , has crossed the vast chain of the Andes , between the eastern shores of Venezuela andthe chief coast ofthe Pacific Ocean , which is above six hundred leagues in extent . The gloomy and pestilential forests ofthe plains of the Tierra Caliente , as well as the nppcr regions of the Cordelleras , known in South America by the name of Paramos , wer e ultimately explored . He passed several times the limit of perpetual snow , and ventured to ascend to the three
highest points of New Grenada- and Venezuela , the Ifevadode Merida , 16 , 437 feet , the volcano of Fohnia , 17 , 240 feet , and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Maria , 16 , 500 feet above theleviel ofthe sea . During these dangerous excursions he has also visited the India cannibals of Goajira , and the ferocious Anruhuatos , who inhabit the cold and temperate side of the Kevade de Santa Maria , and he sojourned for whole months among the frightful solitude ofthe Quindice , and the frozen regions of theFolimaand of thegrand Paramo de Huiz . These dangerous researches in immense countries , some of which had never before been visited , have been fertilein numerous discoveries , and botany , in particular , is indebted to M . Linden for some hundred species of new plants , collected from the burning plains of tho Apiore to the gigantic sanunits ofthe Andes .
The Qdicksaxd cxuee the' New Houses of Pabuamext . —Our readers may not be generally aware that the foundations of the New Westminster Palace actually float on a quicksand , Westnunster Hall andthe old Palace for many centuries—upwards of eight—have done the same , so there would seem to be no reason for apprehension . This quicksand , unless confined , has a tendency to rise , spread , and shift itself . It is thoroughly surrounded by walls ot solid concrete , and above it , keeping it down like the cork of a bottle , is a deep bed of concrete . Jhe foundations , however , of the Victoria ^ or Record Tower , as it is called , have passed through thei quicKsand , because ofthe great weight the tower wm have to sustain . A very ticklbh opmtion was performed last week near the ventiktmg shaft of the present houses . Topreparefornew buddings , itwasnecessary to excavateimmediatel y close to this shaft , and even

below it . The workmen proceeded almost inch by inch , stepping down tho quicksand the Instant It began to rise . Fears were entertained for the safety ofthe shaft , which wei ghs two hundred tons , but no accident whatever happened ; the danger is passed , and the works nearly done . It was curious to see the excavations exhibiting at once the old and new Houses of Lords and Commons , Westminster Hall , the Crypt of St . Stephen ' s , the foundations of the ventilating shaft , < fcc . & c—Historical Register . ASTKOXOMICAL PARTICULARS OF TUePlaxet SatuBK . —Saturn ' s mean distance from the sun IS 908 millions of mdes . His annual period or length of time going round the sun 10 , 759 days , one hour . His diameter 70 , 730 miles . Length of day ten
hours , sixteen minutes . He is 750 times as ' large as the earth . He has seven moons and two rings , about 30 , 000 miles from his body , and they are about that breadth , wliich is one-and-a-half the girth of this earth . This vast bodv rolls through space at the rate of 20 , 800 miles in an hour , and such is the immense distance he is from this earth , even when at tho nearest point ( about 813 millions of miles ) , that if he were to commence flying towards us , even at this astonishing rate , he would be four years and a half inreacliing our planet . It would take a railway carriage , travelling twenty-one miles an hour , not less than sixteen hours and forty minutes , to go as far as Saturn goes in one single minute , viz ., 3-50 miles .
The Milkt Way : our Astral System . —It , w , as first surmisscd by the ancient philosopher , Dehioentus , that the faintl y white zone which spans the sky under the name of milkv way , might be only a dense collection of stars , too remote to be distinguished . This conjecture has been verified by the instruments of modern astronomers , and some speculations of a most remarkable kind have been formed in connection with it . By the joint labours of the two Herschels the sky has been " gauged" in all directions by the telescope , so as to ascertain the conditions of different parts with respect to the frequency ofthe stare . The result has been a conviction , that as the planets are parts of solar systems , so are solar systems parts of what-may be callcdi astral systems ; that IS ,
systems composed of a multitude of ' stars , bearing a certain relation to each other . The astral system to which wc belong is conceived to be of an oblong flattish form , with a space wholly or comparativel y vacantin the centre , while the extremity in one condition parts into two . The stars arc most thickly sown in the . outer parts of this vast ring , and these constitute the milky way . Our sun is believed to be placed in the southern portion of the ring , near its inner edge , so that we are represented with many more stars , and see the milky way much more clearly in that direction than towards the north , in which line our eye has to traverse the vacant central space . Nor is this all . Sir William Herschel , so early as the year 1783 , detected a motion in our solar svstem with respect to
the stars , and announced that it was tending towards the star \ in the constellation Hercules . This'has been generally verified by recent and move exact calculations , which fix on a point in Hercules , near the star 143 of the 17 th hour , according to Pioai ' s catalogue , as that towards which our sun is proceeding . It is , therefore , receding from the inner edge ofthe ring . Motions of this kind , through such vast regions of space , must be long in producing any change sensible to the inhabitants of our planet , and it is not easy to grasp their general character ; but grounds have nevertheless been found for supposing that not only oursun , but the other suns ofthe system , pursue a wavy course round the ring from west to east ,
crossing and reerossing the middle oi the * annular circle . " Some stare will depart more , others less , from either side ofthe equilibrium , according to the places in which they are situated , and according to the direction and the velocity with which they are put in motion . Our sun is probably one of those which depart furthest from it , and descend furthest into the empty space within the ring . " According to this view , a time may come when we shall be much more in the thick of the stars of our astral system than we are now , and have , of course , much more brilliant nocturnal skies ; but it may be countless ages before the eyes wluch are to see this added resplendence shall exist . —Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation .
The Irish Movement.
THE IRISH MOVEMENT .
To The Bioht Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bait....
TO THE BIOHT HON . SIR ROBERT PEEL , BAIT . St . Jarlath ' s , Tuam , Feast of St . Timothy , 1845 . Sin , —Whilst you survey with singular satisfaction the wide extent of spiritual bondage over Great Britain , you are doubtless mortified hy the painful contrast of the spi . ritual freedom of Ireland : and , anxious & s the diffvision of this religious thraldom , you fear tliat its reign cannot he permanent or secure uutil the light of its Catholic faith is extinguished in a country so contiguous as to he likely to become contagious . It is not the first time that
Ireland , an exception to the surrounding servitude , roused the envy of the despots who doomed its liberty to destruction . Such was the policy which , we are told by Tacitus , Agrippa had in contemplation . lie despaired of esta-Mishingthe dominion of the imperial arms over Britain and Caledonia as long as Irish freedom was , in the language of the ancient historian , within view ; and you too , improving on his policy , despair of perpetuating the worse despotism of heresy under which the once favoured land of England groans , as long as the light and freedom of the Homan Catholic faith hums with such steady strength and lustre in the neighbouring island .
Hence the untiring exertions of that Protestant ascendancy , still so hostile , to extinguish a religion which is a living reproach to tlie revolting errors that disfigure the face of England . Witness the lamentable fruit of those errors in the entire disorganisation of what is termed the Church of England , andin the hideous intestine discord by which its crazy frame is falling asunder . Witness , too , the dreadful immorality which is their offspring * and the prevalence of those unprovoked and gratuitous crimes which , in despite of the insolence of its journalists and the homage which wealthy nations are sure to extol , even unto the palliation of their vices , have made the moral
condition of England a word of warning over the civilised world . Are you ambitious to sink Ireland to the level of the same degrading social materialism ? Should you succeed , instead of tlie occasional outbreaks of revenge which humanity abhors , and which would have been frequent , were it not for the incessant influence of religion and its priesthood , you would witness a fierce spirit of national indignation wliich , not two nor all , the spare lemons within your command , could repress . Somuehis the tranquillity of the country and the stability of the throne beholden to the pious and ^ disinterested exertions of its calumniated priesthood .
The lamentable state of social disorganisation to which I havealluded is felt and deplored by many of the English prelates , who confess they are unable to apjjy a remedy ; witness , for example , the ludicrous embarrassment of his Lordship of Exeter—to-day issuing his episcopal mandates for ecclesiastical uniformity , and revoking them again , it is said , at the imperious requisition of the Minister of the Crown . Such of the members of that body as possess a tolerable share of learning , whose intellect ranges beyond the small pale of the Anglican establishment , and the brief period of its disastrous schism , surveying the social happiness enjoyed by the nations when tlie church was not the chained handmaid ofthe Crown ,
are in a condition the most pitiable . While their zeal is animatedby the heroic fortitude ofthe ancient champions ofthe freedom of the church , they fancy for a time that they can imitate tlieir example . No sooner , however , do they engage in the attempt than they are obliged to own that from the establishment , though retaining some ofthe material features of a church , the spirit that animated and informed it is gone : and instead of the holy vigour of an Ambrose or an Anselm , who arraigned the cruel delinquencies of Royalty itself , they are silent on the crimes of the nation , because they must regulate by the nod of a political Minister the nature of their pastoral instructions .
No doubt you are anxious to bring about a similar reform in the Catholic church in Ireland . If so , you must expect it win he productive of the same disastrous results upon _ morality and order . It is as a step to this complete subjection of the CathoUc church to the state , which no doubt is your aim , you have introduced the fatal measure of the Bequests Bill , and by its fruit you may judge of tlie wisdom of the policy which , in . an evil hour , you have adopted . You have avowed that your difficulty was Ireland . Have you not increased and thickened those difficulties by this disastrous measure ? Never , within the memory of the oldest of its inhabitants , was Ireland in a state of more frightful excitement . And why ? From the encroachment you have striven , hut I hope in vain , to make on the freedom of the Catholic religion . And aUow me to tell you , in aU sincerity , that as you are now about meeting the Parliament , your lirst measure must
he the repeal , tlie total repeal of that penal Jaw , root and branch , if you wish to restore tranquillity to Ireland . I will not fatigue your or the public attention with the detail of any ofthe crguments against this iniquitous law , tliat are now as familial' as they are forcible . . Whoever can resist the evidence adduced by Serjeant Shcc , and principally hy Mr . O'Connell , of the ruinous effects of that law , if unrepealed , on the best interests of the Catholic religion , must have an understanding steeled by pre . judices which no argument can approach , The question has been so argued that persons the most illiterate , as well as the most enlightened , are in possession of those arguments , and hence an intellectual and religious opposition to that measure , deep , wide—embracing aU orders and aU classes—laity , clergy , priests and bishops , gentry and peasantry ; in short , spread over the entire country > and fast as the hold which their faith has on its people . When it was announced that three estimable and
venerated prelates were associated to the commission to carry this odious Act into effect , the public mind was stunned , and a sudden grief feU on theheart of the nation , Their sorrow was intense ; they felt by the novel connexion that the freedom of their church was in manifest danger , and the appointment , like a dam chafing and fretting the current which it was intended to check , raised it still higher and gave it further force . There are not in the world a people who feel more veneration for their prelates than the Irish people , and therefore you must suspect that the measure mustbehad which could produce dissensions in a body the members of which the spirit of Catholic faith and concord keeps , in general , so closely compacted , It required no extraordinary sagacity to perceive thatyou , in Iookingfor the aid of Catholic bishops , sought not to support tho Catholic religion , orto ixaltits priesthood , but rather to buttress the tottering

fabnc of Protestant ascendancy . If . you meant , as in policy as well as justice you should have done , to legislate on a principle of common fairness towards the Catholics , why not recognize in law those canonical rights and apostolical jurisdiction on which this penal law incontestibly encroaches ? Yet , with the attempt to injure and degvadc you , and a few hollow encomiasts , take credit to yourselves for acknowledging , for the first time , the rights and titles of the episcopacy in Ireland ! Yes , you acknowledge to insult them , and even the honour you show has in it all the bitterness of scornful derision . How do you honour even those venerable prelates whom you have made members of your mistcrial board \ By giving them the titles of bishops , without sees , and emblazoning over their heads the sole and exclusively legitimate titles of others to the same sees wliich tlieir sainted and heroic predecessors would never have consented to acknowledge .
There cannot be two lawful bishops of tlie same see . The respective epithets of " Catholic" and " Protestant " might , if compromise could be at all admitted , mark the distinct sources of their apostolical or Parliamentary jurisdiction . But , instead of this , the Protestant prelates are blazoned forth as the Archbishops of Armagh and Dublin , without any qualification , while , in insulting and subordinate contrast , the Catholic prelates are announced as archbishops of—nowhere . But you give them a precedence , a rank in society ! Yen , yon strip them of their rights , as far sis in you lies . Y & u amuse them with the shadow of ceremony , which is unmeaning but as far as it is significant of substantial rights and duties . And you humble them with the condescension of your insulting patronage , such as you would exhibit to some exiled and faUen dynasty , fixing on them more
strongly the gaze of pity , hy the mockery of a homage of which you disown the legitimate foundation . What would her Prime Minister think of tho respect of any individual for royalty who would allow her Majesty the name of Queen , withholding her rightful titles of "Great Britain and Ireland , " on which it is founded ? Surely the recognition of her name could not disguise the want of fidelity necessarily included in any such omission of her rightful title . Of what inconsistency and confusion is not bigotry productive ? You would fain confer on some of our bishops a Parliamentary jurisdiction which you are incompetent to give , and deprive others of tlwiv apostolical jurisdiction , which you are as incompetent to take away ; and , by way of indemnifying the one for the indignity of master slaves , to wliich you labour to degrade
them , you give them a ministerial license of making a similar invasion on the apostolical rights of their brethren . You expect that they will do all this to prolong the existence of that anti-national and odious establishment , some of whose prelates , their fellow-benchers , poured forth but the other day their usual contributions of orthodox hatred on the idolatry and tyranny of the Church of Rome . But no ; more valuable b y far than the degrading honours ofthe oppressors of the faith are the confidence , the attachment , and affection of the devoted Catholics of Ireland , who , instead of denying the titles , the jurisdiction of their beloved bishops , win revere them as the only legitimate occupants of the thrones which some of the most eminent of the successors of the apostles have adorned .
Immediately connected with this subject is the affectation of a new-born reverence among the hereditary enemies of Ireland for the rights of the Roman Pontiff . If you really revere the centre ' of Catholic unity , why endeavour to strip the Catholic bishops of their titles , which his Holiness has conferred , and without which , and tlie spiritual * influence they confer , none of those bishops would be deemed worth a moment ' s negotiation to relieve the embarrassments of a Prime Minster ? Perhaps this feeh ' ng is like the prodigal ' s appreciation of virtue , from the habit of sinful courses , springing from the evidence of the disorders into which a privation of that light which issues from the Apostolic See has so long plunged the population of England . If so , then we should hail such f t feeling , and help their faint and tottering Steps ill returning to the light and merciful consolations of that
paternal home from which they have hecu so long straying . Oh ! no ; it is'the envious feeling of the fallen spirit at the happiness springing from truth and union ; mid their tongue , like his , strives to dart forth in glo / . ing flattery the venom of destruction . They may spare themselves their officious solicitude about the conduct of the Catholics of Ireland . In the fight for their faith the Irish Catholics are no raw recruits . Thanks to the persecuting policy of England , and the atrocious code of her sanguinary edicts , the Irish Catholics , in defending their faith , have been made the most practised champions upon earth ; and they have not combated so triumphantly ' and so long without the conviction that they owe their signal triumphs to their unexampled fidelity to that holy chief whom their Master placed over the church for their guidance . They will then cling—as
their pious ancestors have done—to the rock of Peter ; they slmU labour , too , for the peaceful recovery of all those rights of which , on account of their attachment to the chair of Peter , they have been deprived ; nor shall they suffer any power of Parliamentary creation to intercept one particle of that homage we all owe his Holiness , or of that spiritual jurisdiction of which he is the best guardian . And , allow mc to ask you , who are they who in reality are making inroads on the power of the Pope , and striving to make a mockery of his jurisdiction ? Is it we , who constitutionally labour for the repeal of the Bequests Act , which is repugnant to tlie canons of the church , and not in accordance " with the principles of the Catholic religion , or those who , without consulting the Holy See , strive , tyrannically , to enforce so penal an enactment ? Before the commission was named we sought , as was the duty of Catholics , that this question should be
referred to the decision of the Holy Father . We were told , why refer to the Holy Father a question regarding mere temporalities ? Such was the unceremonious way in which the authority of Rome was treated . The people meet , resolve , denounce the unconstitutional encroachment on their civil rights . They are told that they violate the obedience due to their spiritual superiors by their deliberating and resolving on a matter which they should leave to a spiritual tribunal . Thus the Pope must not decide , because it is a temporal matter ; the people must not decide , because it is a spiritual concern ; and during this unprincipled and sophistical shifting , the prophecy of a Celebrated writer is sought to be realised hy the erection of a ministerial and political Papacy in our own kingdom , directed by the nod of the Premier , disregarding on one hand the authority ofthe Pope , and on the other striving to crush the religious and political rights ofthe people .
Whoever reflects on the career of Mr . Anthony Blake , his evidence before a committee in the House of Commons , and his being a member of this commission , must ( unless the commission be speedily dissolved ) entertain serious fears for the continuance of the Pope's substantial authority in Ireland . When reonsidcv that he has been the old advocate of the veto , and of every measure for fettering the freedom of the Catholic church , the pliant and dexterous follower of every successive Administration , whether Whig or Tory , the self-appointed patron of Maynooth College , in order to project , I suppose , with Mr . Thomas Wyse , how far it may be feasible , by a little domestic concordat , to effect some change in the system of the teaching of its faith , for an increase in its finances ; in short , the coccoction of a scheme of a Royal commission of bishops to manage the payment of the Catholic clergy , and to inflict the penalties of misdemeanour on the others who should not yield to the usurped powers of political bishops of the Parliamentary commission—when I
consider how on that occasion he trifled with the authority of the Pope , recommending a course of penal legislation , and then leaving the Pope to shift for his own authority the best way he could—when I reflect that much of what has been suggested has been already done in establishing the commission of the Bequests Act , I am only consoled by the reflection that tlie mischievous projects ofthe man will be defeated by the pious zeal of the Catholics of Ireland in procuring a total repeal of the law ; and were it not for this their zeal , I fear that as a public and political character , history would have to record , that since the disastrous event of Protestant ascendancy a . worse importation , or one more fatal to the Catholic religion , than this same Mr . Anthony Blake , was never wafted back to Ireland . To lord Stanley this gentleman would be a most valuable acquisition in the colonies . How humiliating the prospect of the once glorious church of Ireland , when its pastors allow their holiest rights and duties to bo invaded and usurped hy such scheming political
adventurers . I cannot , therefore , but deplore the misdirection ofthe patriotic feelings of some ardent Irishmen combating the phantom of a foreign temporal power while they are heedless ofthe enemy that it is threatening them at home . Instead of being alarmed at the exercise of any undue power from abroad , what is desirable is , to prevent any encroachment on the Pope ' s hallowed authority in protecting our church . Some are also in extasics rather immoderate ftt the diplomatic announcement that no negotiations are going forward on the affairs of the Irish church between the Holy See and the British Government . Even' should there not , what grounds are there for con .
gratulation ? What need you require a concordat , if , even without one , you can erect your commission at home , and delegate to it a Parliamentary jurisdiction to invade the rights if the Catholic hierarchy ? What more do you require ? Lord Heytesbury hopes , indeed , that the Catholics of Ireland will , therefore , be contented ? Yes , they will be less suspicious when the Bequests Act is repealed and the Bequests Board dissolved ; ' -otherwise his Excellency ' s proposition amounts to this : — "Be not alarmed ; we have only made a breach in the walls of your church ; hold , forbear your meetings ; put confidence in as , your old and trusty friends , and we will pledge ourselves to halt at the gates and make no further advances on your religion . "
It is also made a subject of similar congratulation , that should a concordat be negociated , all then would assist in averting such evils from the Catholic Church . Instead of wasting our sohcitudebn distant and contingent dangers , we should be alive to the imminent evils of the commission now established at home , and labour to close the breach which has been recently made in the bulwarks of its holy discipline . It wM not be enough to say— " Allow the present incipient usurpation of the ri ghts of the bishops to be firmly established , and in future they will obtain every necessary assistance in repelling future
aggression . "' . Such is their mode , of dealing with the evil who talk of amendments in ihe Act , and the removal or modification of this or that objectionable clause , while they they allow the encroaching and invading principle of the commission itself—the Vigorous root of the evil—to remain . No , the successful step of letting any portion of the Act remain would ' only prompt you or any other Minister to invite other prelates to join him in a fresh assault on our liberties , by another new commission stillmore penal : the example once given by good and enlightened taen , of joining one commission in disregard of the known wishe * and feelings of , in general , the people , the clergy ,

and the majority of their brethren , mig ht be successively adopted at some future day by others improving on then ' models , until the citadel of Catholicity would thus be surrendered , and almost all the sacred functions of tlie hierarchy be usurped by motley aggregations of political and ¥ avV \ an \ ovitavy eouvmisswnevs . Let , then , your first recommendation to Parliament be the repeal of an Act . which the mischief already produced should be a warning of the move awful calamities with which it is fraught . A law so penal to religion , and so utterly repugnant to the interests and declared will of the entire people , would , according to all sound civilians and jurists , be downwright tyranny to enforce . You feared , if we are to judge of the night combinations of law and armaments to which you resorted to crush thein , the
display of popular power exhibited by the ' monster meetings . The malignant spirits of your ' Bequests Act has evoked a far more formidable agitation . Yes , the people of Ireland and its clcvgy love their country . They aye solicitous for its prosperity , and will give every aid compatible with their respective duties towards the restoration of a native Legislature . But they love their religion more—the one being a temporal and the ottier an eternal interest . Indeed , so much are Ireland and tho Catholic religion bound up together in the system of English domination , that it would be difficult to separate the interest of one from the other . To the spoliation of their country ' s rights religion litis often reconciled tlie Iri 3 h people . Tlieir history lias attested that they are a nation who , for that holy religion , are ready to sacrifice

Mi.-Fi.Vo Accidexts.—On Thursday Morning...
Mi .-fi . vo Accidexts . —On Thursday morning week another melancholy accident happened in a coal-pit at Tipton , near Dudley , belonging to a Mr . Williams , by which three lives were lost . It appears that the three deceased were at their usual works , with three others , in the pit , and had made . 1 large excavation under a bed ot coal , and- also were removing the top or soft coal from above , as a preparation for Wasting with gunpowder , but before all was in readiness the portion of coal gave way ,, and although , they saw it coming , it fell upon the three ill-fated men and crushed them to death ; the other three escaped unhurt . In as short a time as possible they were got oat , but were quite dead and much mutilated . Two 01 tlie Sufforei's woi'omavi'iod , and havelel'twlves and families ; the other was unmarried . . A young man named Smith , who assisted in extricating his brother , ono of the above unfortunates , from under the mass of coal that fell upon them , was at work on tlie following
day in a coal-pit adjoining , and met with a similar accident , a large quantity of coal falling upon him and causing his death . —Another dreadful accident , though not attended with fatal consequences , occurred at an iron-stone mine at Cosoly , near Tipton , on Saturday last . The colliers having lately held out for a rise of wages , and obtained it , the miners in the above jit , anil others in the neighbourhood , have likewise demanded an equal rise with the colliers , but wliich was not agreed to by the masters , wlie would only consent to a rise of 3 d . per day instead of tid . The men , however , who were employed in the above pit at length agreed ' to resume their work at the 3 d . per day rise ; and on Saturday morning last five of them were being let . down into the pit , when , before they had readied tlie bottom , the chain broke , and they fell to the bottom of the pit and the - whole length of chain fell upon them . When they were taken up each one had a limb broken , and was otherwise dreadfully bruised , but fortunately none were killed . — ' Worcester Journal .

London b . MiTnrjui . D Cattj . e Market , Monoat ,. Jan . 27 . —Notwithstanding the general complaints which have existed for some time past , relative tothe shortness of keep in the country , the arrivals of beasts up to this morning ' s market were rather numerous for the time of year , and of considerably improved quality ; indeed , the supply of that description of stock on offer to-day was by far the best we have witnessed since the holding of the great Christinas market . This early commencement of the KovMk season leads us to expect a eiHvfiwued arrival ol * wcll-made-up beasts from that and the neighbouring counties . The attendance of buyers was again tolerably numerous , yet the beef trade was in a very sluggish state , at a decline in the currencies obtained on tiiis day se ' nnight , of 2 d . per 81 b ., tlieMgho & tqvu > tation obtained for the best Scots not exceeding 4 s . per 81 b . As might be expected , tlie imports of live stock from abroad continue small , they having
amounted , during the week , to only thirty beasts and sixty-two sheep from Holland . To-day only a few head were on sale here , and which were in middling condition . From Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgcshircf there wore received 000 Scots aud homebreds ; from Lincolnshire , Leicestershire , and Northamptonshire , 000 short-horns ; from the western and midland districts , SOU Hercfords , runts , Itevons , & c . ; from other parts of England , 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland , 190 horned and polled Scots : the remainder of the bullock supply being chiefly derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis , The numbers of sheep were only moderate . For all breeds we had an improved enquiry , at fully , but at nothing quotable beyond , last week ' s prices .
