The _Greenlionse . —It often happens that in the csuisc ofthe winter the roots of some plants have got _jnto a bad condition , owing , perhaps , to a defect in jbcdKunage , orheingpot-bouud , or some other cause ; _aad such plants it ishighly desirable to re-potatoncc , jot waiting until the usual time for this operation _^ sll arrive . A careful eye will have detected the ennptoms which indicate some unsoundness at the _ji \ , L and all plants showing . such symptoms should be _isoked out aud re-potted . Set the plants , when rei « ttcd , in the most favourable position for light and air , and for some time water sparingly .

Tulips have begun to appear above ground , and in order to prevent damage , and , if possible , to make " assurance doubly sure , " put about a table _qioonful of silver sand over thc protruding spikes ; _ is will , in a great measure , prevent any frost from affecting them ; it should , however , be done before ihe leaves separate . Auriculas may now lie topcrcsscd , though some defer it to the latter end of the
month ; we prefer doing it now , as the risk of injuring the growing fibres is not so great as at a later T < eriod . _Carjiations . —The centre leaves are beginiang to move , and assume in their progress a singular bent appearance . It is _^ absolutely necessary that ihev should liave all _the-air possible , links . —Where these have been planted late , and have not yet got fairlf hold fif the ground , earthworms , which are now troublesome , are apt to drag them out . The plants must occasionally be looked over , and when - > he surface of the beds are dry fasten the plants .
fliBOT Fhot ASH jklTCfiEX- Gab-bex . —The late heavy rains have been "favourable for newly-p lanted ireeC by washing down the liner particles of soil from ihe surface amongst the fibres . In the Kitchen-gar den proceed with the usual routine of trenching and _prejsiriiig for spring-c-rops . Earth up peas slightly ss they apuear above the ground .

Ac .
Potatoks _. —1 have" observed lately , says a corres--pondent of the Observer , thc result of some experiments which had been made in raising potatoes ; and Mia 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 , thc latter , no doubt , grow very well , but there is always a loss by cutting in pieces the large potatoes , while thc others are ready , arc not so valuable , and have thc skin entire . In damp or wet ground not thoroughly drained , or in cold backward _seasxm- _* , where vege tation is checked , thc cut sets parch and never grow , so that blanks of some yards are 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 _Ticcping ihe one crop of potatoes in a proper state for use until the following crop is ready . Persons residing in thc country who have frames of glass , can have potatoes veiy early ; and -they can also have old potatoes kept in pits in the earth , & c ; bnt people _resid-V _* g in towns , the lower classes especially , have no inch conveniences . Li the spring , when the potatoes begin to grow , they send out long ; shoots , and when these ave removed others succeed—the . root all the zluie shrJvellini _? and wasting its substance . An
effectual way of kBlmg the vegetative powers at that period ( and no sooner ! , occurred to me . Theheat of boiHngwater being 312 degs ., and thrceniinutesbeing mfiicient to boil an egg , the question came to be , how short- a time would effect the present object ; and an immersion till aperson could count _six _/ _seems amply sufficient . This might betcsted exactly , and be done en a large scale wifJi a copper and netted bag . Potatoes so serred keep for many weeks quite plump and _fre-h , and until new ones could be got in the -market at a reasonable price . This plan may also be USCfili for preserving them longer fit for use at _sta , where _vegetables ave not to be had .
ScBsnTCTK tor Hat . —Tiie writer of a letter from Newtown , near Worcester , says—" As every proprietor of c-attk * 13 anxious at the present crisis to make _jic most of his _prorenda ' , and as some of your agricultural readers may not- lie aware of the advantage of mixing turnips and turnip-leaves or tops with straw tjtaff , 1 _talcc the liberty of calling the attention of _ri-osc who are at fault for Lay , and arc fortunate _ta & ugh to hare a few turnips , io " the subject , as I presume they would find it answer very wefi as a substi tute for hay . I have adopted fhe plan of cutting up _riiraip-icaves with a chaff-engine , and mixing it with chaff ; during the last month , and I find that , when straw-chaff is mixed with about one-third its ouautitv
ef leaves so cut , store cattle cat it with avidity , and do -remarkably well with it . If the roots are reduced to small particles , and mixed with the _chaffy it auiwers a still better purpose . When the turnips are small , and but few grown , it would be advisable , in _pracr to make the most of them , not to pull them oelore the end of March or the beginning of April , as they would then produce a good deal of top when » vrould lie most useful . There may be many leaves fathered for present use , without taking the main Wat or injuring the turnips , provided -they are woken off an inch or two from the stem . If the tops are Merably large , an aerc will produce three or four eart loads ; but if thev are allowed to remain , a freafer part of them will tall off , and decay round thc oal 1 " J
« _£ f IHt 0 HD - _cfa 81 Sheep . —The carcass of the sheep _vv _^ " of the " _Aew -0 cvon" breed , was lately exhibited in Exeter cattle market , and was the admiration of hundreds of agriculturists , butchers , & c , who crowded that part of thc market for the purpose 01 seeing it . It was pronounced one ofthe mostperleet sheep ever shown in this part of the kingdom _, _itwas a wether , yeaned , bred , and fed on the farm of Ah * . Thomas Kingdom of Chapel St . Martin , Thor-Terton . This extraordinary sheep , remarkable for lis _smahness of bone , colour , and handsomeness , was three years old off , and slaughtered and dressed in a niosttradesmahlike manner by Mr . R . R , Prowse , of Thorverton- It weighed 265 lb ., being 601 b . per qr ., and lib . over , and _carried 251 b . of rough fat !
jr 'Method op _Pbeeartso _Chaiuu-d _Siw-nrsr jis a "Maxure . —At the last monthly meeting of the _Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland , the Earl of Bosebery in the ebair , an interesting paper _•^ _TOuTO-ting saw-dust into manure , Wit . JBishop , _kwl steward , _Metkven Castle , Perthslure , was read _n y D . Milne , Esq . It set forth that , for several years back , the author hail been desirous of diseover _wltfT metl , < K * ? _^ Mcn saw-dust and the other w 1 a sayr-im « might be converted to some more *™ _puipose than they were generally applied to ; « w , under the idea that they might be employed as _amannr _^ he was led to make several experiments . _5 _% j ** noticed that undecomposed saw-dust , _espe-^ J that from resino us treea , had an injurious « wtt on vegetation ; and his object was to discover _wtiT _^ P _method by which it might be more _3 _~® v deeomposed , and ther eby become fitted to S" _^^ tiie growth of plants . The first attempt was _a _« _^ saw-dust to ashes , by spreading it over
* _£ * » unace ot a piece ol land , to the depth of five or _^ niches , and to set fire to it , as is sometimes done _™ " Peat _j-iuss . Owing to wet weather , onlv half **\ _Mduced to ashes , and no _percepfable benefit was -f _enced on the ensuing grass crops ; but a crop of _ShwJi ** Jand _^ iain rour years in gi * ass , owea a marked _sinieriorlty in those places where _« e saw-dust had been burnt . Baring heard of the _^ _f- _^ _g Pwperties ofpowdered charcoal , the author iZuV conceive that the object he had in view sS _^ . most readily attained bv converting the _^ uust into charcoal , hy partiafly _' exduding the air wng combustion . For this purpose he procured a Mr !!!!* of _^ _cD- _^ rarnt Kme-sheBs , which were _^ f * _^ P in layers with saw-dust , the latter in _to 6 A a state " _^ i _4 couw be obtained ; the whole a -tnen covered over . In a few days the mass bef _^^ _ted , especially towards the top and sides of diK _^ _TT * _"henCTer the flames burst forth , an _adj _Monai quantity of saw-dust was _fimn time to time on , an d thus the process was continued till inter-& ibV y _^^ _eather . In other instances , _thelime-•*» vrere broken into smaller nieces than in the
-^R^^Nbe, -Those Who Hate An Fstenave Jr...
former experiment , and mixed with saw-dust in Oblong heaps—a method by which an equal quantity of saw-uust was _cariwiifced _., hut it was found necessary to turn oyer and mix the heaps while the burning continued , and thus a greater quantity of ashes was produced among the charred ashes than wonld otherwise have been the case . When this carbonised dust was applied , -aloHg with lime , to grass , potatoes , and corn crops , the result proved highly satisfactory , and in one instance its beneficial effects were more obvious the second vear than the first . In order to avoid the expense of purchasing lime-shells , and to show at the same time that the beneficial effects ofthe charred dust could not be ascribed to the lime used in the process of charringanother
, method was adopted , namely , bv preparing two or three fire heaps of brushwood , which , after they had burned for some time , were covered with a thin coating of saw-dust ; wherever the fire broke out to any extent , additional saw-dust was applied , and this was continued from day to day , a thick coating being laid on in the evening , which was partly raked off again in thc morning , ' so as to retain a regular thin covering , through which the ah * could pass , to carry on the burning within the heaps . By tliis method Mr . Bishop has converted into charcoal COO bushels this . season , and it has been applied in different ways to turnips , and also used as a top-dressing , partl y by itself , and partly in mixture with juano . ammoniacal
water , malt cummings , and other substances ; and in all these cases its beneficial effects have been more or less apparent . The 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 much consideration . It is recommended that the saw-dust , when taken from the mill , should lie deposited in a dry airy shade , as it is exceedingly liable to imbibe and retain moisture—a circumstance whicli greatly impedes the process of charring . By the above process it is calculated that saw-dust may be converted into this useful manure at thc rate of ab mt one penny per bushel .
A New _Bakust . —In July , 183 S , 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 f . elds , he supposed might turn out to be a new species . When ripe this car was secured , and the following years the grain was sown in a garden , when it was found that tiie 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 which was at the time sown with English barley , mainly for the purpose of asceitaining the comparative " earlincss of the two vavities _, but also with the view of determining their
comparative productiveness . The result was , that in respect to earlinass , the English had the advantage by three or four days ; but in regard to productiveness the new variety had a marked superiority , yielding at the rate of 11 bolls , or 66 bushels per acre , while the English did not exceed % \ 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 quantify and quality , seemed " obvious to every one who had an opportunity of malting the comparison . The distinctive marks of this new variety are , 1 st , the glossy whiteness of the straw ,
which remains up to the time of ripenmg without the least tinge of brown , a colour , more or less observable in all the other varieties ; 2 nd , the strength ofthe straw , which is much greater than in the common kino ' s ; and 3 rd , the greater distance of the __ grains from each other than in the ordinary varieties ; so that , for example , an ear of the new variety with 12 grains on each side , will be found fully _tlu _* ee-quarters of an Inch longer than one with the same number of grains in either the Chevalier or early English barley . The advantages of this barley are its superior productiveness ; its length of straw ; its tillering properties ; the distance from each other at which tbe grains are placed in the ear , which is a recommendation in damp climates , as the moisture is not so easily retaiued as in a compactly constructed
ear . Extiiaordixabv IV .. —A fine pig , of the small breed , belonging to William Hornsey , of Ingleby Greenhow , aud bred by SirWiliani Foulis , Bart ., was slaughtered on Tuesday , the 7 th instant , weighing the astonishing weight of 52 stones , 14 _lb . tothe stone .

Enncatiox I>- The East Indies—At A Late ...
_EnncATiox i > - the East Indies—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 year _InlS-M , 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 1 S 4 I to 1844 , inclusive . The vernacular languages taught in the r espective schools appear to be Oordoo , Hindoo , Bengalee , Ooreah , and Burmese . Of . the several institutions , the Medical CoUege presents the unexpected and singular feature of turning out
accoucheurs , surgeons , and anatomists from almost every caste , and Mahoiumcdans as well as Christians , wluch 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 thc moral character ofthe rude tribes of these hills , has been eminently successful , although it had to contend with the difficulty ofthe people having n language of their own , and the necessity of first teaching them Hindoo . Col . Sykes considers _tliat the opinions expressed in the reports alluded to , that the Mahommedan population are averse to receive European instruction , are not borac out in the number of the returns . The total number of students is 8281 ; there are 1653 Mahommedan students to 6035 Hindoo students . Some
have calculated the Maliommedaii population as low as one in 14 : Hindoos , while the highest estimate , he believes , docs not equal one in nine . In either case , the proportion ofthe Mahommedan students far exceeds the proportion of the Hindoo students relatively to their respective populations , being about 1 in -t _# of the whole students . Five-eighths of the whole students learn English ; a comparatively small number leam Sanscrit—viz ., 426 ; while 572 learn Arabic , and 801 Persian . Benegalee has the greatest number of students—viz ., 270 G , followed by Hindoo , _1 TTI , and Oordoo , _1-KJ 4 ; these languages being chiefly spoken under the Agra government . There
are 248 Christians m the Schools , and 197 who arc neither Christians , Maliommcdans , nor Hindoos . These are chiefly Buddists at Moulmein , or low castes of the Bhagulpore hills . Out of 2420 students under thc Agra government , 2378 receive gratuitous instruction , and only 43 pay . In Bengal only 1572 students pay , aud 4289 receive _m-atuitous instruction This is questionable policy , and the Bengal government are desirous of modifying it ; and thc Bombay _eovenmicnt have found advantage in imposing a school fee of trifling amount . Of the orphan schools , charitable institutions , and niissionary schools , Colonel Sykes had no means of giving an account .
Researches ix Souin America . —M . J . Linden , _acelebratedBelgian traveller , has returned to Brussels within a few days past . He left Belgium in 1 S 41 . He has explored successively , in three years and a half , the Republic of Venezuela and New Grenada , Jamaica , and the eastern part ol 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 and the chief coast ofthe Pacific Ocean , . which is above six hundred leagues in extent . The gloomy and pestilential forests ofthe plains of the Tierra . G' aliente _, as well as the upper regions of ihe _Cordelleras , known in South America by the name of Paramos , were 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 _ISevadode Merida , 16 , 437 feet , the volcano of Pohma , 17 , 240 feet , and the Sierra . Nevada de Santa Maria , 16 , 500 feet above thelevel ofthe sea . During these dangerous excursions he lias also visited the India cannibals of Goajira , and the ferocious Auruhuacos _, who inhabit the cold and temperate side of thc _2 fevade de Santa Maria , and he sojourned for whole months among the _^ frightful solitude ofthe Quindice , and thc frozen regions of the Folima and of the grand Paramo de _Jt-aiz . These dangerous researches in immense countries , some of which had never before been visited , have been fcrtilein numerous discoveries , and botany , in particular , is indebted to M . Linden for some hundred species of new plants , collected from the burning plains ofthe Apiore to the gigantic ssinmits ofthe Andes .
The Quicksand bxdeb the jNew Houses of Paeuamext . —Our readers may not be generally aware that the foundations of the rlew Westminster Palace actually float on a quicksand . Westminster Hall and the 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 of solid concrete , and above it , keeping it down like the cork of a bottle , is a deep bed of concrete . The foundations , however , of the Victoria or Record Tower , as it is called , have passed through the quicksand , because ofthe great weight the tower will have to sustain . A very ticklish operation was performed last week near the ventilating shaft of the present houses . Topreparefor new buildings , it was necessary to excavate immediately close to this shaft , and even
Enncatiox I>- The East Indies—At A Late ...
below it . The workmen proceeded almost inch by inc h , .. stopping down the quicksand the instant it began to use . -Pears were entertained for the safety of the shaft , which weighs two hundred tons , but no accident whatever happened ; the danger is passed , and theworks nearly done . It was curious to see the excavations exinbiting 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 . Ac—Historical Register . Astronomical _PAimcuuits ot _tuePlaxet _Satuhn . —Saturn ' s mean distance from the sun is 908 millions of miles . 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 39 , 000 miles from his body , and they are about that breadth , which is one-and-a-hall the girth of this earth . Tliis vast body , rolls through space at thc rate of 20 , 800 miles in an hour , and such is the immense distance he is from this earth , even when at the 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 in reaching 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 ., 350 miles . '
The Milky Way : our Astral System . —It was first sin-missed by the ancient philosopher , Democritns , that the faintl y white zone which spans the sky under the name of milky way , might be only a dense collection of stars , too remote to be distinguished . This conjecture has been verified by the instruments of modem 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 thc conditions of different parts with respeet to the frequency of the stars . The result has been a conviction , that as the planets are parts of solar systems , so are solar systems parts of what mav be called- , astral systems : that is ,
systems composed of a multitude ofstars , bearing a certainrolation to each other . The astral system to which we belong 15 conceived to be of an oblong flattish -form , with aspace wholly or _comparativelyvacantin the centre , while the extremity in one condition parts into two . The stare are most _tliickly sown in the outer parts of this vast ring , and these constitute the milky way . Our sun is _bwioved to be placed in the southern portion of thc ring , near its inner edge , so that we are represented with many more stars , and see the milky way much more clearly hi that direction than-towards the north , in which line our eye lias to traverse the vacant central space . ? Jor is this all . Sir William Herschel , so early as the year 1783 , detected a motion in our solar system with respect to
the stars , and announced that it was tending towards the star X in the constellation Hercules . This has been generally verified by recent and more exact calculations , wliich fix on a point in Hercules , near the star 140 of the 17 th hour , according to Piozzi's catalogue , as that towards wliich 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 / com west to east ,
crossing and rccrossing the middle 01 the annular circle . " Some stars will depart mare , others less , from either side ofthe equilibrium , according to thc places in which they are situated , and according to the direction and the velocity with which they are put in motion Our snn is probably one of those whicli 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 hi the thick of the stars of our astral system than we are now , and have , of course , much move brilliant nocturnal skies ; but it may be countless ages before the eyes whicli are to see tliis added resplendence shall exist . —Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation .

TO THE BIGHT 1 SQX . SIR 1 M > H * EIIT _PF-i'I / , LAItT . St . Jnrlath- _' s , Tuam , Feast of St . Timothy , 1845 . Sin , —Wliilstyou survey nf tii singular satisfaction the wide extent of _spiritual bondage over Great Britain , you are doubtless mortified by the painful contrast of the spiritual freedom of Ireland : and , -insious for the diffusion of this religious thraldom , you fear that its reign cannot be permanent or secure until thelight of its Catholic faith is extinguished in a country so contiguous as to be likely to become contagious . It is not the first time that
Ireland , an exception to the _swrwwlmg servitude , TOusea . the . envy ofthe despots who doomed its liberty to destruction . Such was the policy which , we are told by Tacitus , . Agrippa had in contemplation . lie despaired of establishing the dominion or' the imperial arms over Britain and Galedouia as long as Irish freedom was , in the language of the ancient historian , _mthin view ; and you too , improving on liis policy , despair of perpetuating the worse despotism of heresy under wliich the once favoured land of England groans , as long as the light and freedom of the _Itomaii Catholic faith burns with such steady strength and lustre in the neighbouring Island .
Hence the untiring exertions of that Protestautasceudancy , still so hostile , to extinguish a religion which is a living reproach to the revolting errors that disfigure the face of England . _W'itness the lamentable fruit of those errors in Die entire disorganisation of what is termed the Church of England , and in the hideous intestine discord by wliich 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 ofthe 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 yoa ambitious to ' sink Ireland to the level of the same degrading social materialism ? Should you succeed , instead of the occasional _oii'I / _i'MiRs 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 which , not two nor al ) , tbe spare legions within your command , could repress . Ho much Is the tranquillity of the country and the stability of the throne beholden to the pious and disinterested exertions of its calumniated priesthood .
Ihe lamentable state of social disorganisation to which I have alluded is felt and deplored by many of the English prelates , who confess they are unable to apply a remedy witness , for example , thc 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 thc Minister ofthe 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 the church was not the chained handmaid ofthe Crown ,
are in a condition the most pitiable . "While their zeal is animated by the heroic fortitude ofthe ancient champions ofthe freedom of the church , tncy fancy for a time that they can imitate their example . No sooner , however , do they engage in the attempt than they are obliged to own that from the _establishmentpiiough 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 Ansehn , 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 arc anxious to bring about a similar reform in the Catholic church in Ireland . If so , you must expect it will be productive of the same disastrous results upon morality and order . It is as a step to this complete subjection of the Catholic church to tlic 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 the 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 memorj of the oldest of its inhabitants , n-as Ireland in a state of move frightful excitement . And whs ? _Etoia the encroachment you have striven , but I hope in vain , to make on the freedom of the Catholic religion . And
allow me to tell you , m all sincerity , that as you are now about meeting the Parliament , your first measure must be the repeal , the total repeal of that penal law , root and branch , if you wish to restore tranquillity-to Ireland , I will uot fatigue your or the public attention with the detail of any ofthe erguments against this iniquitous law , that ave now as familiar as they are forcible . Whoever can resist the evidence adduced by Serjeant Slice , and principally by 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 prejudices whicli 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 all orders and all 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 stUl hig her and cave it further force .
There are not in the world apeople who feel more veneration for their prelates than the Irish people , and therefore you must suspect that the measure must be bad 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 that you , in looking for the aid of Catholic bishops , sought not to support the Catholic religion , or txaltits priesthood , but rather to buttress the tottering

fabric of _^ Protestant ascendancy . If you meant , as in policy as well as justice y < k _slie-uld have _don « , to legislate briaprinciplc of common fiurness towards -the - Catholics , why not recognize in law those canonical rights and apostolical jurisdiction oh which this penal law _incontestibly encroaches ? Yet , wiffithe attempt to injure and degrade 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 tliem , 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 misterial board ? By giving them the titles of bishops , without sees , and emblazoning ovcrfheir heads the sole and exclusively legitimate titles of others to the same sees wluch their sainted and heroic predecessors would never have consented to acknowledge .
There cannot be two lawful bishops ofthe 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 ave announced as archbishops of—nowhere . But you give them a precedence , a rank in society ! Yes , you strip them of their rights , as far as in you lies . You amuse them with the shadow of ceremony , which is nnmeaning but as far as itis significant of substantial rights and duties . And yon humble them with the condescension of your insulting patronage , such as you would exhibit to
some exiled and fallen dynasty , fixing on them" more strongly the gaze of pity , by the mockery of a homage of which you disown the legitimate foundation . What would hev Prime Minister think of the respect of any individual for royalty who would allow her Majesty the name of Queen ; withholding her rightful titles of " Great Britain and Ireland , " ou whicli it is founded 1 Surely the recognition of her name could not disguise tho 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 their _apbstolicar jurisdiction , whicli . you are as incompetent to take away * , and , by way of indemnifying the one for the
indignity of master slaves , to which 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-benehevs , poured forth but the other day their usual contributions of orthodox hatred on thc idolatry and tyranny of the Church of Rome . But no ; more valuable by far than the degrading honours of the oppressors ofthe 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 , will revere them as the only legitimate occupants of the thrones which some ofthe most eminent ofthe successors of the apostles have adorned .
Immediately connected with Ibis subject is the affectation of a new-born reverence among tho 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 thc 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 feeling 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 a feeling , and help their faint and tottering steps in
returning to the light and merciful consolations of that paternal home from wliich they have been so long straying . Oh ! no ; it is the envious feeling of the fallen spirit at the happiness springing from truth and union ; and their tongue , like his , strives to dart forth in glozing flattery the venom of destruction . They may spare themselves their officious solicitude about the conduct of the Catholics of Ireland . In thc fight for their faith tho Irish Catholics ave no raw recruits . Thanks to the persecuting policy of England , and thc 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 thc rock of Peter ; they shall labour , too , for thc 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 thai homage wc all owe bis Holiness , or of that spiritual jurisdiction of which he is the best guardian . And , allow , me to ask you , who are they who in reality are maldng inroads on the power of tbe Pope , and striving to make a mockery of his jurisdiction ? Is it we , who constitutionally labour for the repeal of thc Bequests Act , which is repugnant to the 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 wc sought ,
as was the duty of Catholics , that this questiou 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 tliis unprincipled and sophistical shifting , the prophecy of a celebrated writer is sought to be realised by Ihe erection of a ministerial and political Papacy in our own kingdom , directed by the nod of the Premier , disregarding on one hand the authority of the Pope , and on the other striving to crush the religious and political rights of the 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 commissi on , roust ( unless the commission be speedily dissolved ) entertain serious fears for the continuance . of thc Pope ' s substantial authority in Ireland . When I consider that he has been the old advocate of Ihe 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 May-1100 th College , in order to project , I suppose , with jrr . 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 cpccoction of a scheme of a Royal commission of : bishops to . manage the payment of the Catholic clergy , and to inflict , % penalties of misdemeanour on the others who should not yield to the usurped powers of political bishops ofthe 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 the mischievous projects of the man will be defeated by _tliejiious zeal of the Catholics of Ireland in procuring a total repeal of . the law ; and wcreit 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 6 ame 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 ofthe once glorious church of Ireland , when its pastors allow their holiest rights and duties to he invaded and usurped by 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 arc also in cxtasies rather inir moderate at the diplomatic announcement that no _negotiailOUfi are . going _-fo-nvaYU _oii the affairs of the Irish church between the Holy See and the British Government . Even should there not , what grounds are there for
congratulation ? . What need you require a concordat , if , even without one , you can erect your commission lit home , and delegate to it a Parliamentary jurisdiction to invade the rights cf the Catholic hierarchy ? What more do you require ? Lord Hey tesbury hopes , indeed , that the Catholics of Ireland will , therefore , be contented ? _Yesi they win be less suspicious when the Bequests Act is repealed and the Beo , uegts _ 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 hegociated , all then would assist in averting such evUs from the Catholic Church . Instead of wasting our solicitude on distant and contingent dangers , we should be alive to the imminent evils ofthe commission now established at home , and labour to close the breach which has been recently made in the bulwarks of its holy discipline . It will not be enougli to say— " Allow the present incipient usurpation of . thc rights 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 bur liberties , by another new commission stillmore penal : the example once given by good and enlightened men , of joining one commission in disregard of the known wishes and feelings of , in general , the people , the clergy ,
To The Bight 1sqx. Sir 1m>H*Eiit Pf-I'I/...
and thc majority of their brethren , might be successively adopted at some future a . iy by others improving ovv their _models ,-until . the citadel of Catholicity would thus . be sur . rendered , and almost all the sacred functions of the hierarchy be usurped by motley aggregations of political and Parliamentary commissioners . Let , then , your first recommendation to Parliament be the repeal of ah Act whicli the mischief already produced should be a warning ofthe more awful calamities wiili 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 them , 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 ' clergy love their country . They ave solicitous for its prosperity , and wUl give every aid compatible with their respective duties towards the restoration of a native Legislature . Bnt they love their religion more—the one being a temporal and the other an eternal interest . Indeed , so much ave Ireland and the Catholic religion bound up together in the system of English domination , that it would bs difficult to separate the interest of one from thc other . To the spoliation of their country ' s rights religion has often reconciled the Irish people . Their history has attested that they are a nation who , for that holy religion , are ready to sacrifice their lives .

Mixing Accidents.—On Thursday Morning We...
Mixing Accidents . —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 , lt appears that the three deceased werc at their usual works , with three others , in the pit , and had made a large excavation under a bed of coal , and also were removing the top or soft coal from above , as a preparation forblasting 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 werc got out , but were quite dead _sw \ d much mutilated . Two of the
sufferers wercmarried , and havelcftwivesand families ; tbe other was unmarried . A young man named Smith , who assisted in extricating his brother , ono of the above unfortunates , from under tlic mass of coal that fell upon them , was at work oiv the following day in a coal-pit adjoining , and met vvith 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 Cosely , near Tipton , on Saturday last . The colliers having lately held out for . a rise of wages , and obtained it , the _mineis in the above pit , and others in the neighbourhood ,
have likewise demauded an equal rise with the colliers , but which was not agreed to by . the . masters , who would only consent to a rise of 3 d , per . day instead , of Gd . Thc men , however , who were employed in . the above pit at length agreed to resume their work at the 3 d . per day rise ; ami on Saturday morning last five of them were being let down into thc pit , when , before they had "reached , the bottom , the chain broke , and they fell to . the bottom . of _tlw pit and tho whole length of chain fcE upon them . When they were taken up each one had a limb broken , and was otherwise dreadfully bruised , but fortunately none werc killed . —Worcester Journal . .

This early commencement of the Norfolk season leads us to expect a continued arrival of well-made-up beasts from that and the neighbouring counties . The attendance of buyers was again tolerably numerous , yet thc beef trade , was in a very sluggish state , at a decline in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight , of 2 d . per Sib ., the highest quotation obtained for the best Scots not exceeding 4 s . per Sib . As might bo expected , tho 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 Cambridgeshire , there were received oOO Scots and _hometa-ft-As * , tvo \ ft liwcoliwluYc , _Ijcicestershh-e , and Northamptonshire , GUO short-horns ; from the western and midland districts , Soil Hcrcfords , runts , Devons , _il'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 . Calves , the supply of which was small , met a firm demand , at fully last Monday ' s quotations . Prime small pigs sold readily , other kinds slowly , at- late rates .
