THE deaths in the same week of TIMOTHY DALY and JLiev HALE have naturally drawn a good deal of attention to the working of the Poor-law in London. The two cases have just enough of ap parent connexion to suggest the idea that the one may explain the other ; and it is so natural to wish to reduce such miserable incidents to the ope ration of a general rule, which it may be in our power to amend, that we are not surprised to find that such an attempt has been made in the present instance. It is clear that MARY HALE died of sheer starvation rather than go into the work house ; it is clear, also, that TIMOTHY Datv died of exhaustion produced, in his own estimation, by neglect and ill-treatment in the workhouse ; and to attribute this persistent refusal on the part of the deceased woman to her dread of meeting a similar fate to that of the deceased man may seem to furnish a very simple link to unite the two cases. It cannot be said, however, that this theory finds no countenance front the evidence adduced at the inquests. No apprehension of possible ill usage within the walls of the workhouse can ac count for the sickening spectacle which met the eyes of the Coroner's Jury upon entering MARI' Hates garret. The able-bodied vagrant may shun the coarse fare, the hard lodging, and the strict con finement which is the lot of an indoor pauper ; but these would all have been luxuries compared with the bed of old rags and newspapers, the teapot and two broken plates encrusted with the dirt which had accumulated in months of disuse, and the almost entire solitude in which Malty HALL had lived fur the last year and a half, and in which she ultimately died. Nor does it appear that Timoniv Dais, though undoubtedly impressed with a strong dislike of the Union doctor, experienced any neglect to which he would not have been equally exposed if he had remained in his own home ; and while we are very far from saying that this is a sutti ciently high standard fur workhouse hospital treat ment, it is not low enough to account for a con firmed and rooted determination to prefer death to indoor relief. but, in truth, this feeling does not seem to be uncommon even on the part of the extreme poor. In the evidence taken before the recent Pour ILlief Committee of the House of Commons we Mud the magistrates at the Thames and Worship-street Police Courts agreeing that, throughout the east and northeast of London, there are numhers of the most deserving poor who would sooner die than go near the poorhouse, a reluctance which Mr. KNuX attributes to that " feeling of independence which exists among the .` people, to a very high degree, even in the midst " of their misery." We do not a - Cinder that many persons are dis posed to regard such a fact as this in the light of a conclusive reason in favour of an alteration in the law. It, it is argued, the classes for whom the workhouse is intended hold themselves aloof from the assistance winch it offers, what better proof could you have that it has failed in attaining its object ? Tile end for which the workhouse was designed was to provide a maintenance for paupers who have no other means of support. if the latter will not accept the relief thus offered, ought it not to be dispensed to them in some other way? If the poor sill not come to the guardians, ought nut the guardians to go to the poor? Ques tions of this kind leave altogether out of sight one very important fact. Thirty years ago we had very nearly succeeded in demoralizing the labour ing classes, while we seemed to be on the high road to pauperiznig the whole country. All the poverty, vice, and degradation into which the tin re!erined Poor-law had plunged us sprang by direct descent from forgetting that it is impossible to urike the condition of the man maintained by public aid as comfortable as the condition of the 111.111 maintained by his own labour without offer ing a direct premium to idleness, and providing fur an indclinite increase of pauperism. The aim of the Poor-law Amendment Act was twofoll : to reassert the principle that every destitute person has a claim upon the com munity for seplen-t, and at the same time to secure that this claim saould never be put forward upon any less weighty ground. If the result of the change has Lecii ta restore or create among the English poor a spirit of honourable independence, to make them feel that subsistence ou public aid is !,, a disgrace, and to deter them from having recourse to such an expedient until every thing else has been tried, we have little reason to Le dissatisfied with the measure of 1834. The people who are now so ashamed of seeking relief from the pari-li are the same people who formerly preferred parish pay to all other means of support; and the change in the popular feeling can only be attributed t tile y uu.i penitentiary character with which sad experience had proved it was necessary to invest the poorhouse. It is impossible, unfortunately, to isy down any general rule which shall not be occasionally pro- THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 30, 1864; ductive of injustice and hardship to individuals; and, when once the supremacy of a principle has been asserted, our next duty must always be to inquire whether there is any discoverable corrective to the mischiefs which follow from its application. The most obvious remedy in the present instance would be to relax the stringency of the prohibition against the grant of outdoor relief. But simple as this proposition seems, it is open to very grave ob jections. If a pauper is wholly without the means of supporting himself, he can be maintained at far lase cost in the workhouse than he could be at his own home ; and in this case, therefore, the administration of outdoor relief would be a waste of the public money. If, on the other hand, the pauper is able to partially support himself by his labour, it seems at first sight more economical to help him by a grant from the poor-rate than to insist, as a preliminary to relieving him, that he should surrender the little which he is earning. But to do this would be in effect to make it the direct interest of masters to employ inferior workmen at lower wages, in the expectation of their eking out a livelihood by the receipt of &parish allowance. In other words, it would be to turn the rate for the relief of the poor into a rate for the relief of employers. Pro bably the remedy is really to be looked for in a better organization of the efforts of private charity. At present nothing seems more easy than to obtain money for the assistance of the distressed, while few things are more difficult than to get it at the right time, or to apply it in the right quarter. Too often it goes to relieve that very destitution which has the most direct claim on the poor-rates ; while it passes over unnoticed the poverty which requires all that nicety of discrimination and generosity of outlay which must always remain the province of private and individual almsgiving. From the evidence to which we have before referred it appears that the 5,000 persons who were relieved at the Man sion-house and the Guildhall during the hard winter of 1861 could all have been relieved by the City of London Union. So far, therefore, as these persons were merely saved from actual star vation, private charity was taking upon itself the duty which the law imposes on the community. We do not deny that the pressure on the ratepayers may at times be usefully lessened, but to do this is not the same thing as to minister to the necessities of the poor. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. ROME. THE CONSISTORY. A letter from Rome of the 23rd has the fol lowing : It is sow certain that there will be no ocesistory held this year at Christmas. All the recent rumours relative to promotions, therefore, fall to she pound. The diffi culty of conciliating all the pretausious and satisfying one of the chiefs of the two rival influences, without displeasing the other, has decided the Holy Father to abstain. The vacant seats in the Sacred College will not be filled up, in ceder to avoid exciting jealousy. The Cardinal Vicar has jest published two new ordinances one grants permission to prepare meagre dishes with fat coadiments dorieg the new ecclesiastical year. and sumacs' that the Pope re serves to himself the regulation of the diet of the Romans during the holy season of Lent ; the other relates to the celebration of Christmas, and forbids the vendors of food sad drink to open their shops daring the night of the 24th. Neither of these documents contains the slightest political allusion, nor any of the Molest language often found in the lucubrations of this dignitary of the church. granted. In consequence of this "gracious idea," as all the schoolboys in France are officially in formed, K Duruy has received orders to fix the re-opening of the schools and colleges for Tuesday instead of Monday.

An interesting lecture was delivered yesterday before the Royal Horticultural Society, on the subject of perfumery and the methods of obtaining the odours of plants as practised in this sod other countries. The lecture was given by Dr. Septimus Please, and was illustrated with • variety of living plants obtained from the conservatory and grounds of the Horticultural Society.

The Bois de Boulogne is as crowded by carriages conveying Parisians to the lakes as iu May, but their tsp. pearatice is very different.

THE CIRCASSIAN EMIGRATION AND RUSSIAN BARBARITY. The Levant Herald, of the 21st, publishes • correspondence from Kustenjie, from which it appears that the Turkish authorities had requested the Russians to prevent any further emigration of the Circassians till next spring. Whether from a misunderstanding or otherwise, it now appears that 1 40,000 of these unfortunates have reached the shores of the Black Sea in a state of utter destitution. It is further said that the Rus sians have ordered them to continue their journey, declaring that if they remain on the shore, they will be left without any assistance what ever. These poor wretches have no alterna tive but that of perishing of hunger on the shore, or undertaking a voyage on the Black Sea in the depth of winter, even if the state of the weather enables the vessels to take them on board at all. A letter from Trebizond says :—" We have now here some 1,300 Circassian immigrants, and small though the number appears, the mortality amongst them amounts to about 90 per week. The famous Michael Bey (Prince Michael of Abasia) is treating with the Porte the terms of his emigration to Turkey, accompanied by 30,000 to 40,000 followers. God grant that this mass may steer clear of Trebi zond, which suffered so signally by the Circassian immigration during the present year." (En'ma's TELEGRAMS.) THE ENCYCLICAL LETTER. PARIS, Drc. 30.

PARIS, THCRSDAT EVER!CO. M. Paulin Limayrac, who, after due time for consideration, is instructed to speak of the ency clical in the Constitutiemid, does not take quite so mild a view of it as the Pays was permitted to do. He admits, indeed, that the new letter is but a sTehatuW• of very old doctrines, but then he sees in the selection of them at the present time an "evident intention to break with all the principles upon which modern society rests." He also sees in it the best justincation for the celebrated de -1 &patch of M. Drouyn de Lhuys to M. de Sartiges, in which the French Minister for Foreign Atlaim, while announcing the Convention of Sept. 15, spoke of the peculiar codes of th e H o l y See, which in their essential nature were radically opposed to the ideas of the age. But although the language of the Cum stitat i•ateol is very different from that of the Pays, when three days ago it extolled the Pope's wisdom sud moderation," yet it Collies to no better practical conclusion than that France ad heres to the doctrines of tl.e French clergy of 1682. It is but pour progress if the Emperor is only pre pared to meet the Pope with such liberality as I prevailed in the days of Louis XIV.! There are no indications of any decided policy in ecclesiastical matters. The clerical journals boast that M. L. Veuillot has been dialing with the French ambas sador iu Home, and the report that a French brigade was coming Lome next month by way of commencing the evacuation is contradicted. The Imperial Prince has been allowed to take an "initiative."

THE SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE IRON TRADE...-- WOLVERHAMPTON, Dac. 29.—Tbe preliminary meeting of the trimmest's' of this district was held in this town this afternoon, Mr. W. 0. Foster, M.P., in the chair. It was proposed and carried unanimously, that the prima of finished iron remain the Lame ; it was also decided that in the in terests of the trade a council of gentlemen be appointed to act as a committee of the trade, and that they, in the rota tion of their names, be appointed to set en chairmen of the iron trade of South Staffordshire for one year, and that the present honorary secretary cootions to act in the same position. under the panel, with the aid of an assistant-secre tary.

M. Sparrow, each of these gentlemen to act as chairman for one year. It may be mentioned that the trade remains in • very depressed state, and unless the mill men and peddlers accept the reductions in their wages, of which notices will be given on Saturday, the masters have resolved on • general lock-out. E,..arg Or PRIsoNERB FROM COLCHE:TER GAOL. —Three prisoners_ effected their escape from Cokhester Borough Gaol on Wednesday evening, under suspicions circumstances. They were awaiting trial at the ensuing quarter merlons, and, with one or two other prisoners, were in the airing yard, under the charge of • turekey, This o ffi cial deemed it consistent with his duty to go out to • public-house to get some beer, leaving the prisoners by themselves, and the door unfastened. When be returned two of the pri soners were gone, and, while he was searching for them, with the door still unfastened, another effected his escape. The warder then gave information to the police, who did all they could to recapture the fugitives. but as yet have tot been successful. The escaped prisoner' are—Charles Murrell", drover, charged with stealing a sheep from a truck at the Colchester station of the Great Eastern Railway; Edward Cook, farm labourer, charged with fowl-stealing ; and Joseph Lytton, • tramp, charged with houmbreaking. Murrell@ is a ticket-of-leave min, having been onevicted at Norwich of burglary with vio lence, for which he was sentenced to death, bat had his sentence commuted to transportation for life, sad, at the end of 13 years, received • ticket-of-leave. FATAL STEAMBOAT COLLISION. FOUR LIVES LOST. It is our painful duty to record another fatal Isteamboat collision, which occurred at an early hour this maiming, resulting in • sacrifice of four lives, and the 'foundering of a small steamboat. The circumstances are as follows :—The screw steamer Guy Fawkes, 34 tons, Archibald Campbell, master, left the tail of the bank about ti o'clock this (Thursday) morning, bound for the Kam.. Gunpowder Works, situated in Kyles of Bute, having on hoard a quantity of nitrate of soda, about 1;21:10 empty kegs, sod other general cargo. The mora -1 log was comparatively clear, and the Guy Fawkes bad all her lights up, according to the government instructions. When rounding Kempoch Point, to the westward of Gourock, the lights of a large steamer coming up the river were observed. The Guy Fawkes was rounding the point close in shore, the tide at the time being about low water. When the lights of the steamer were observed, the man at the wheel on board the Gay Fawkes got orders to ' port the helm, which was at once done. The bow of the steamer was thus pointed for the Damao shore. The Earl of Carlisle motioned her proper course, but the muter, fearing his vessel might take the ground, gave ceders to starboard the helm, which was done. Both vessels consequently were thus steering for mid channel. The malt was that the Guy Fawkes was struck by the Earl of Carlisle, on the starboard quarter, elms to the mainmaat, receiving such iejuries as to cause bar to founder in about ten minutes after the oolli sion. The small boat of the Goy Fawkes was stove io, and the crew were thus left without any means of escape. Au attempt was made to run the Guy Fawkes 'shore, but the water tubed in so speedily as to pat out the fires, and the vessel sank immediately thereafter. The hands at mice made provision for saving their lives, each man laying hold of some buoyant substance in order to float until as sistance could reach him. The steamer made a long circuit before lowering a boat, and, upon • small boat being sent only one of the crew of the Guy Fawkes could be dis covered. This man, named Duncan M`Farlane, was at once takes oa board the Earl of Carlisle in • very ex hausted state. The names of those drowned are : Archibald Campbell, master, aged about 28 years, married, and one child ; Hugh if 'Kenzie, eogioeer, married, and five children ; Dugald ld'Kellar, deck hand, unmarried; Alexander Thomson, aged about 19 years. unmarried. The unfortunate men all resided in Karnes. None of the bodies have been found. The imastguardsmen sta tioned at Kunio& Point put off in their boat, but none of the immersed moo could be mesa.

Duncan 31`Farlane, the man who was saved, states that all the crew clung to pieces of dealing wreck until, becoming exhausted, one after another sank and was drowned. M'Farlane believes be was about three quarters of an hour in the water ere he was picked up. All bands were on deck on board the Guy Fawkes at the time of the collision. The sea was comparatively calm and the morning clear. The Gay Fawkes is supposed to have sunk in about 15 fathoms. An atSempt, we believe, will be made to raise her.

Thomas Reynolds (Rathene), achoolmastcr, clerk of the church, and petty sessions clerk, Longwood, was fired at through the window of his sitting-room, yesterday, and dangerously wounded. He died early this morning. He was playing draughts at the time with • young woman, who had • narrow escape. The gun was loaded with al bullets. Three men have been arrested (tenants on the lends, and under eviction)—John and Thos. Nugent and James Flea. In the house of the latter • gun was found, recently discharged, with fresh mud on the butt of it. Hay bad been placed under the window, to prevent the marks of shoes. On Flyn's shoes bay was found. These, with other circumstances, attach strong suspicion to this man. Thomas Reyolds bad nothiog to say to the land in question, but had conveyed sonic messages to the tenant. under notice of ejectment. They were considered respectable, solvent men, and owed no rest. A Mr. Oyu, of Atbboy, recently purchased the middlemen's interest in the f►rms, which he purposes turning into a hare grazing farm ; hence the intended evictions.—Duldie Er( eiey Mail, WEATHER REPORT.-{THIS DAY.) FRIDAY, DTCOIDER 130. 8 AL THE IRISH ESTABLISHED CHURCH AND THE LAND QUESTION. GREAT MEETING OF ROMAN CATHOLICS IN DUBLIN. The aggregate meeting, convened by the Lord Mayor of Dublin at the instance of Archbishop Cullen, was held yesterday ►t the Dublin Rolando. " The interest of the public in the demonstration," says the Dal.lie Ereniv Mail." appeared to be anything but of an intense character. The crowds who on similar 'great occasions' ordinarily assembled in the neighbourhood of the Rolando did not put in an appesranoe to-clay. This was to some extant accounted for by the circumstance that t h e gentlemen who generally formed the nuclei of such out door gatherings were employed by the m►nagers of the meeting in the unwonted rdtes of primmest* of the peace, far which purpose they were furnished with substantial staves, the whiteness of which contrasted strikingly with the swarthy countenances from which the deposit of coal dust had been hastily and but imperfectly washed. These individuals were distributed in compact bodies throughout the Round Room and in the vestibule, and as each new-comer entered his features were narrowly scanned. in order to detect, if possible, by some peculiar physiog- Domicil process, whether he were friend or foe. By this mesas—by the refusal of admission to some, and the forcible expulsion of others—the body of the room was kept pretty well confined to sympathisers is the objects of the meeting. The precaution was not needless, for on Wed nesday evening a notification, of which the following ie a copy, was extensively circulated through the city : "NO 8131tRZIFDISE r; "NanoNamara—An attempt at the revival of the slavish organiaatioo,' that leaves you bondsmen, and whining slaves to-day, is about to be ' triad on' in Ireland once mote, by a clique of un-God•fearing, place-hunting, cowardly, political agitators, composed of rack•rentiog landlords, brittle's barristers, anti-Irish bishops, parish priesta, curates, and hirellog, renegade, perjured pressmen. Will you, 18,000 Dublin Nationalists, tolerate this West- British faction to demoralise your manhood again Never. " ' Put your trust in God, my boys, end keep your powder dry !'" Apparently in anticipation of some disturbance taking pleas, the cominiasioners of police, whilst declining to send any of their men to preserve order within the building, took measures to suppress any disorder whizh might arise by stationing detachments in the immediate neighbourhood, and by directing the attendance of a few of the most active members of the detective force to watch the proceedings. From the causes we have enumerated, however, order was maintained, and no necessity for police interference arose. The attendance in the reserved seats and gallery, to which ch►rges respectively of 2.. 6d. and la was made, was meaty in the extreme, and the platform was chiefly occupied by Roman catholic prelates and clergy. Amongst those present were—Archbishop Collett, Dublin ; Archbishop Leahy, Cashel ; Bishop Kilduff, Ardagb ; Bishop Gillooly, Elphin ; Bishop Keane, Cloys' ; Coadjutor Bishop Nulty, Kilmore ; Mr. Maguire, M.P. ; Mr. Edward J. Syne°, J.P.; Mr. W. J. O'Neill Daunt, Alderman Plunkett, Mr. H. Devitt, barrister; Mr. J. B. Dillon, barrister; Major O'Reilly, M.P. ; Mr. It. J. Devitt, T.C. ; Colonel French, J. W. Kavanagh, Mr. James Nugeot, Mr. Thomas Arkin', Mr. O'Leary, barrister ; Mr. Joseph Sweet/ow T.C. ; Mr. Cornelius Redmond, Waterford News; Mr. Michael Dwyer, Catholic Telegraph; Win. Moloov, Thurles ; Ignatius J. Kennedy, P.L.G. ; Michael Murphy, T.C. ; James Delany, P.LG. ; Michael O'Brien, J. Begs, James Farrell, I'. J. Smyth, Irishman; Alderman M'Caoo, George Austin, ; John Byrne, Y.LG. ; H. H. ll'Derinott, barrister; Philip Redmond, T.C. ; Michael Garman, T.C. On the motion of Mr. JOAN FRANCIS MAGCIRE, M.P., Mayor of Cork, seconded by Mr. EDWARD J. STRAX, J.P., Ashbonrne, Limerick, the chair was taken by the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR. The following letter from Mr. Bright, M.P., was read: " Rochdale, Dec. 22. _ _ _ "My dear Lord Mayor,—l have to thank your com mittee for their friendly invitation to your approaching meeting, although I shall not be able to avail myself of it. It is difficult for me to leave home at this season. and I have an engagement to be in Birmingham about the time when your meeting is to be held. lam glad to see that an effort is to be made to force on some political advance in your country. The objects you aim at are good, and 1 hope you may succeed. On the question of landlord and tenant I think you should go farther and seek to do more. What you want in Ireland is to break down the laws of primo geniture and entail, so that in coon* of time, by a gradual and just process the Irish people may Wooten the possessors of the soil of Ireland. A legal security for tenants' improve ments will be of great value, but the true remedy for your great grievance is to base the laws which affect the land upon sound principles of political economy. With re gard to the state church, that is an institution so evil and so odious, under the circumstances of your country, that it makes one almost hopeless of Irish freedom from it that Irishmen have borne it so long. The whole liberal party in Great Britain will, doubtlon, join with you in demanding the removal of a wrong which has no equal, in the character of a national insult, in any other civilised and Christian country in the world. If the popular party in Ireland would adopt as its policy . Free Land' and ' Free Church, and would unite with the popular party in England and Scotland for the advance of liber►l measures, and especially for the promotion of an honest amendment of the representation, I am confident that great and beneficial changes might be made within a few years. We have on our side numbers and opinion, bet we want a more distinct policy, ►nd a better organisation ; and these I hope, to some extent, your meeting may supply. . . . . . " I thank you for your very Mad invitation to , the Manaloa House, and am, my dear Lord Mayor—Yours, very truly, "Joits BRIGHT. "The Right Roo. the Lord Mayor of Dublin." Archbishop CULLER proposed the first resolution, as follows :--•• That the entire ecclesiastical revenues of Ire laud. amounting to upwards of 580,000 f annually, are appro. priated to the maintenance of • church which (according to the latest census) counts amongst its members only 601,£ 4 72 persons—being lea than one-seventh of the entire population of this island. That this singular institution was originally established, and has been always main tained, by force, in opposition to reason and justice, and in defiance of the will of the great majority of the Irish people. That we, therefore, resent it as • badge of national servitude, offensive and degrading alike to all Irishmen, protestant as well as catholic." In the course of • length ened speech, which he reed from • printed copy, Dr. Cullen gave his views upon the questions of tenant-right and education, and then proceeded to descant upon the history and present condition of the Irish Church, which he stigmatised on account of the " wickedness of its origin," having been "introduced by fraud and violence," having "no support but the state, of which it was the slave," mat finally, as being "a fruitful source of dissension in the country." Mr. IGNATIUS J. KIMINEDT, P.L.G., seconded the resolu tion, which was put and adopted. Archbishop CUB., was followed by Archbishop Leahy, Bishops Keene and Gillooly, Mr. Maguire, Mr. O'Reilly, M.P., arid others. There was a general absence of leading lay catholic speakers. By all the speakers emigration was adverted to as the leading cause of the present agitation. Resolutions in accordance with the objects of the meeting were unanimously carried. The meeting was called to form an association for the following objects :—" The MOMS tioa shall be called the National Association of Ireland. It. objects shall be—let. To secure by law to occupiers of land in Ireland compensation for ell valuable improvements effected by them. god. The diseodowment of the Irish Protestant Church, and the application of its ues to purposes of national utility, saving all vested rights 3rd. Freedom and equality of education for the several denomi nations and classes in Ireland." Beyond mveral obj.etious taken to the proceedings by • couple of noisy individuals, there was no attempt at disturb core. In fact, throughout, good order prevailed, and every speaker had a fair bearing. Deputations from Cork and Waterford waited on Wedneiday on the Lled-Limiteeant, at the Vice-regal Lodge, Dublin, and presented addresses. The deputation from Cork was received at half-past twelve o'clock. It countered of t h e Mayor, Mr. John F.
