The parish is divided into din. I tricts, under the charge of visitors. A committee composed I of the above-named gentlemen, who have great experience to these matters,. meet every Tuesday evening to rece i ve th e reports of the v isitors and to grant relief when necessary. Already through this &glaciation cases of imposture have been detected, while many most deserving persona, whose distress would not otherwise have been made known, have been relieved. I may perhaps add that all deoominatioes have joined our association, and that the Jews work well with us. I learnt last night with great satisfaction that the ticket-hunters, whocommence their sport when the frost sets in, have "stared • protest against our association."

The child had been born alive, and from appearances it ' bad been placed alive in the box, and the violence to the head bad been caused by • laud or mallet. It had a pps. j 'Qtly been in the box several weeks—John Merriam M.D.. said he had examined the child and toned that the jaw had bees broken in two places. He was of opinion that 1 the child had been placed in the box in a living Mate, and bad been born about two weeks. Margaret Cozen, be had I meson to believe, had recently been delivered of a child, but he was unable to say positively. Other witnesses having been examined to connect the pesoom with the', possession It the article io which the body was wrapped.

With au heroic devoteduu to his duty the unfor tunate man adopted a sublime resolution. • Lie down !' he shouted out to the child, but as to hilliest( he remained at his post. The train passed along on its way, and the lives of a hundred passengers were perhaps saved. But the poor child ! The father rushed forward expecting to take up only a corpse, but what was his joy on finding that the boy bad at ooce obeyed his order—he had lain down, sad the whole train had Passed over him without injury.

Moore wee the nest advocate of his country when it was oppressed , ed, and socially enthralled; but when time and ea ? • bo oe d p o licy removed all distinctions between the Irish mu and the Englishman—between the protestant and the Roman catholic—his muse was silent, beelines contest; nay. he protested in impressive verse against a manacled agar. tics, that retarded her progrem, when her claims were admitted, her rights seksowledged, and her wrongs re, dressed.-11r. sod bl re. & C.
