The Rev. J. C. Holden visits us every month and once a quarter on the Sabbath, to administer the Sacrament. It is not easy for you to conceive the treat difficulty attendant on making our arrangement', a large portion of which burden has been borne by myself; indeed 1 do not hesitate to assert that had I not, at great pecuniary sac, itice, gone up on the land before it was eeeee and used my utmost efforts to prevail on a few others to do so, the settlement, it founded at ail, would have been so by WOK other emi e rants than those who soiled is the ship King William; those who scald at D'Urbsa made money fast—acres of land which then were bought for 301. or 401. cannot now be had fur 1501.; is fact, several lure lately been sold for upwards of 2001.

MONDAY NIGHT. Thorn em be but little doubt from what has trans pired during this day (Monday) that the diapate between the asthenia's of the London sad North-Western Railway and their engine driven is all but settled. The notice honed by the &mann on Friday sight, and submitted to the men of the southern divides, individually, boa had the elect which woo &rind not oely co the put of the company, but on the part of the patine, and all who hays a friendly teeing towards the men themselves. It appears that at the present moment there ern 138 driven upon the Northern Division sr Grand Juno lion portion of the North- Western Railway, and about 130 drivers empLyed upon the southern di- Nano, which comprehends the whole of the line between London and Birmingham sad its branches. The nodes referred to bad up to a late hour hat swans been headed to about 210 of the drivers, who wars at the time of ' its presentative called upon to reply to the question, Are you prepared to remain without strike in the company's genies I" sad the result which this produced was most satisfactory, as, with the exception of some 20, the whole of the man replied in the affirmative, and elected to remain in the employ of the company. At the Camden station there are, including the men engaged on the new West India Dock Junction line, 63 drivers and 63 stokers. The question pre viously quoted had last night been put to the majority of the an, and our information is that, without an exception, the men expressed themselves satisfied with their present position. It will be remembered that the whole of the dispute ed. ginned with the proposal of the locomotive superintendent of the northern division, Mr. T hick, that the men should give and receive a three months' notice instead of a fort night as at present, and the information derived from the north yesterday is, that the men, upon mature reflection, instead of a "strike" or anything approaching to it, have come round and agreed to the three months' notice. The whole cause of grievance is thus removed, and this augurs well for the belief that with respect to the men of the south ern division, who had no cause of quarrel or complaint of their own, that if they adopt a spirit of forbearance as well as discretion, all may yet be arranged to the mutual 'attain:l -t/on of the directon and their emptoyie. It is inserted that, in reference to the northern division of the line, applications for employment of drivers had, up to yes terday, bees named from no less than 230 men, and 26 new hands have been already engaged and are actually working in the engine sheds, ready for any emergency of the company. Upon the southern &vision applications have been received from 128 men, and 42 have already been engaged. It would appear that the directors of the company feel their position to be so strong that they have completely turned the tables upon the men, and have given notice' to 13 or 14 men of the southern division ; but it is believed that this will not be extended to above two or three more. It is stated that the men thus selected for dismissal are the most inefficient men upon the line, and notices have also been served upon them that they must give op their cottages rented of the company in a weak ; but, in order not to in- . . convenience them, they have informed them that, should that not prove time enough to *cable them to remove their furniture, a longer interval, upon information being commit. cleated to that effect, will be permitted. Should the present drivers and firemen consent to remain in the company's employment, there will be no desire to dismiss them ; and although. en many new hands have been already engaged, ample employment a ill be found in the ehope and elsewhere on the line, as it is calculated that at least about eighty additional drivers will be required in May next, in consequence of the Greet Industrial Exhibition. It would really appear from all that can be collected, even from the mouths of the men themselves, that the drivers of the southern division have no ground of complaint them. selves, but they at the outset mode the dispute between the northern men and the company their own. Not ens amongst tit( en with whcm our reporter has convened but admits the consideration with which the men are individually and col lectively treated. A reference to the pay list of the past week shows that out of forty puseeger.train drivers from the Boston terminus, eleven of them have received upwards of 31. per week each in wages; end that upon the Banbury branch (the wink upon branches being easier than trunk lir , •a•f ,e), two men have received respectively 3f. 161.4 d., 1 16s. as wages for the pest week. I; is only justice) to t men to state that this high amount of wages results from ,i 7 eking over time; but still it is a rate of pay which probe by no other elms of mechanics can expect to realise. In agiclition to this, the directors give 51. to the drivers, and 31. r r swum to firemen, as goad conduct premium. the north of England it is generally moldered by et .ors that owing to a variety of causes a longer notice iitt•-. ed from workmen than in the vicinity of the metro polis': • accordingly it is stated, that upon the Liverpoo' and Ma.,,,, ter Ike, which Is the oldest in the kingdom, the original cute.. —u for the men to deposit 231. as •good con duct guarantee, sag to give three months' notice, If their conduct was grossly bad, the deposit was forfeited.

THE RECENT COLLISION ON THE EASTERN COUN 'ft Le RLILWAY.—James Hofied, the driver of the Enfield exprete train on the night of the 23rd, when the accident occurred on the above line, war yesterday re-examined at Stratford, on a charge of negligent driving. Severe porters, guards, drivers, station maters, signal nun and others wen examined, and at the weelusion of the evidence defendant', solietee celled upon the magistrates to dismiss the charge on the gutted that the seeded had resulted from the want of proper arretagentesesen the line, and not by the fault of the se. eued.—The magistrate' than retired, and after being absent about a quarter of an hour, they returoed.—Mr. Colton (the chairman) mid they had been "arida to elicit the whole facts et that very important ease to the public, and he aruld give the company credit for their desire to meths the fullest in vestigation and oo arrive at a jut and satisfactory conclusion. Although they did not entirety exonerate the delendant from wine blame, yet they could not overlook the fact that express trains had been permitted to pass stations at a rapid rate without any nodes being taken of them. And again the bench could not close their eyes to the irregular and rapid manner some of the trains were deepatebed, and at a time when punctuality ought to have been mon observed than otherwise. It also appeared that there lied been a laxity in carrying out the rides, and, indeed, it was stated that some of them Gould not be performed. He would not Impute negligence to the company, but it was evident, from what had occurred, that there were other parties to blame as well ea the defendant ; and taking into consideration that an express train was following him, the signals given at the junction, and the he that trains had bees permitted to pus over the junction et a quicker rate than wee sanctioned by the rules, they thought that the defendant might have done what he did for the best. He wee not sorry for the time the in• westigation had occupied, and he trusted that the fate elicited would lead to soma important advantage. He had the honour of knowing several of the directors, and he felt eare that they would be es need as themselves to adopt every possible precautioe. They would net coadider the question of despatching slow trains after express Ueda, but how far they wen justified in sending express eau im mediately after slow ones, and how far their efficient arreeguants would permit such a dale. He again ' repeated that the bench did not exculpate the defendant from some blame, but suing that others were not free from neglect, they felt boaod to dismiss the complaint, and the de ' (student wee therefore discharged. (Some applause followed the annoureemest, but it wee immediately suppressed.) The proceedings did not tenniaat• till late. ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER AT BRISTOL.—A men named Thomas King, an inpatient of the Royal Infirmary, died on Friday under circumstances which have Wooed L suspicions that his death was the result of 'equate inflated en him by some lumped *a the quay.

THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. breathes nob a spirit of kinds's' and maddens* as it would be desirable there were sufficient grounds for throughout Ireland—while the reply of Mr. Adair, oe his own and fathet's behalf, shows that the respected landlord of the Ballymena estate is fully alive to a sense of justice, and that he minute all the sentiments expressed in the address. It is not ;to be expected that in any adjustment of rents all parties will be satisfied ; but one Mies is cheering, that amid W aletest univenel distrust subsistieg between landlord and Mutat, the tenantry on this estate have such confichnee in their honourable landlord as to forbid despair of any smeary re-adjustment or general abatement. EXTRAORDINARY EXCESS OF DUTY BY A GAOL CHAPLAIN. MANCHESTER, Dim. 30. A can is exciting public attention here, arising out of a charge made against the Rev. P. J. O'Leary, chaplain of the new Borough God, which peewee en namet beyond this neighbourhood. The case before the Court of Borough Sessions this morn- I log was one in which Robert Burgess and William Hewitt I were charged with stooling, on the 27th November last, a piece of wreppering, value 51. The jury had some d;111. malty in agreeing upon their verdict, but after leaving the court for about ten minutes they found Hewitt guilty, and Burgeon not guilty. On returning to wart with these verdict", Mr. J. Pollock (counsel for the prisoners) roes and ad. dressed the bench (on which were Mr. R. B. Armstrong, the recorder, and Mr. D. Mande, stipendiary megistrete), to the following effect:-1 think it right to make a statement at this stage of these proceedirge with relereare to Burgess, who has jut been sequined, which Ido solely in the dis charge of a public duty, but which I confess I rise to make with great regret. I say with regret, because it reflects upon the character of a d gentleman whom I know per socally, and a gentleman for whom I have great respect—l mean the chaplain of the Borough Gaol. The facts were communicated to me through the prisoner's attorney in .he first place, end sines then by the prisoner himself; and are to the effect that lie (the prisoner) his be, n urged by the chaplain to plead guilty to this charge. And if this was the first occasion on which such a statement had been commusicated I might have felt some difficulty in mentioning it, but I regret to say that it is not the first ono. lion. At the late anises at Liverpool, a treasury iffiest made an observation to the governor of the gaol, asking him why a prisoner on that occasion had not been induced by the chaplain to plead guilty ? And thie was an observation the mon significant because it came from a treasury official, at a time when he was disallowing all coats where the prisoners pleaded guilty. I should not be dircharging my duty if I did not mention these circumstance'. It I could have seen any way of avoiding it I can truly say that 1 should have done to. I feel that I am making a charge against a reverend gentleman in his absence. The Recorder—lt is in his absence, and it will be some time before he can be made et:quaintest with it. Mr. Polleck—Well, if I could here had an opportunity of seeing that gentleman this morning I should have done so, because I (eel that this is a severe nth ction ; but this being the proper time to bring it forward, on the verdict of the jury being given, I have had ne discretion in the matter. The Recorder—l moat fay that the chaplain ought not to influence prieoners In this way. Mr. Pollock—Perhaps I had better read the prisoner's statement, because it will enable the chaplain to see pre• esely what the charge it, and will give him the oppcnunity, which he will no doubt desire to have, of denying it or or meeting it fairly. It may be that he his not ben, actuated by improper motives, and hu only acted from • mistaken judgment. I can imagine he may have mistaken Lie duty, and have done this with perfectly honest ftitentioas, but I will read the statement from my brief. The learnau counsel thea read the following extract from the prisoner's deposition : The following correspondence has taken place bc tween Bishop Delany, of Cork, and Csrdinal Wise- C irk, Dee. 13, 1550. Moat Eminent end bloat it d Lord,—fled we con sulted our own feelings, we should long since have ap proached your Eminence with the tritnye of our respectful congratulations oo your advanoement to your present exalted dignity. We were anxious also to testify to our English brethren the lively joy which, so children of theism, church, we experienced on the restoration of a regular hierarchy to their country. Unfortunately, what other rulers and peo ple, though differing fn.= us to religion, consider au honour to their nations, has been misrepresented amongst no, as to serve so an occasion for the disploy of the worst passions of cur nature. We hoped that the forbear ance of the aggrieved, a cease of justice mid returning rea sem on peruminf the unanswerable appeal of your eminence, world have permitted U 3 to confine ourselvea to the expression of our delight at the happy condition of the catholic church in England. But, however sadly disappointed, we can no longer refrain Iron the fultilment of an agreeable duty, notwithstanding the variety of efilieting topics that obtrude themselves on our consideration. A. ruer.eroue meeting of the liVenan catholic clergy of this dimes &ambled last Tuesday, eves from rezn,te districts in the enuatry, and at no incoosiderabl• inconvenience. to give public repression to the sentiment., which every Roman catholic entertains towards your Eminence, of admiration of the great talents and varied knowledge employed in the selves of religion, end si delight, that the hightet officinal the clan tch are con ferred on those who arc best aide to discharge their duties.

May I be per mitted to gay how ardently I participate in their sentiments of admiration for the high qualities, both moral and iutel tectual, that command revereiv.e for the snaked dignity of your Eminence, as I join in their prayer, that you may be spared by Divine Provilence for many yearn, an ornament and a blessing to His church.—l have the honour to be, with profuund respect, your Eminence's faithful devoted servant, His Eminence Cardinal Wiseman. WILLIAM DBLANY. London, December 23,19.0 . My dear Lord and Brother in Ce.rist,—Allow me to make your lortship the medium of communication between the clergy of your diocese and mysielf, in reply to the resolutions timed at the meeting of December 10. There is nothing se gratifying to the bistop of the n.:w hierarchy in England am the fraternal and truly catholic sympathy felt and expressed in their regard, by their brethren ani fellow c;.tholics in Ireland.

And we, whe un derstand, with them, the strength of these Lured bonne of • . " . The prisoner said—The chaplain came into my dell and said " Now I went you to answer a question I am going to put to you, and to answer the truth. Let me till you bat your cue is a very serious one, and 1 know all about it Yon were employed by Mr. Hilton ?" 1 answered,' Yes." He then said, " Ab, you tee I know all about it." He then said that he items to me as a friend to advise me to opens all I knew, and where the property hid been ptsced, as that was my only chance of obtaining mercy, beams:: my cue was a very serious one—rubbery, for which the hoariest of punishment was intl,c.ed, it found guilty, after pleading not guilty. He said " Titer° were four transported last sessions for the first offence. I do not say you will be teen. sported; but mind, I do not say that you will not." I sod 1 had never had any of the property. He replied, " Oh, is that is the case 1 will bid you good morning." I aekea him if he knew when the sessions were ? He replied, "Yee, but as you refuse my advice and hare taken your own, I may not answer any questions." The Recorder—lf that is true, if all has been done that is here stated, the chaplain has been going beyond the line of his duty. Mr. Pollock-1 sincerely trust it may tura oat not to be correct, and that the chaplain has not sueeded his duty ; tut I should not have mentioned it had this bun the first time a statement of this n had been made ; but it is not the first, nor the second, nor the third time. Mr. Maude said the visiting justices yenta Inquire into the charge. Mr. Pollock said the whole statement wit a very remark. able one, and no doubt it would be inquired into with proper care. The Itecorder—Mr. Maude would inquire into the matter, and Al it was found to be true the wetting justices wouht apprise the chaplain that he had gone beyond his duty. Here the depositions were handed up to Mr. Mende, who immediately left the bench. An application was afterwards made to that gentleman by the press to be allowed to take an exact copy of the prisoner'. deposition, but he stated that c bad already parted with the document, though •' no doubt &Ler rotild hear more of it." IRELAND. Dopum. DEC. 30. A sale of some lots of houses *thrived in Limerick took place in that town on Saturday, under an order of the Encumbered Estates Commissioners. They formed a portion of the property of Edward Cripe \Tinian, and had been twice put up for sale in the court in Dublin without tempting purchasers; but the Limerick Chronick observes : unity which hold rit in theasme faith sad in cathoPc charity, feel how nature: it it to brethren, who themselves Active no advantage from the measure, to sympathise with and congratulate those who are brought into the partici; t tion of equal blearing' with ttletnseiv.a While ' therefore •- ' . • Bidders were soon found for the property in Limerick, whk is residents are the best jseiges of its local value, and in similar cases the commissioners will find the advantage of selling out of Dubin portions of each INtatie es straege:s to the totality slay net be supposed to appreciate. Mr. Marshall sold—lot 1, remises, rear of Mussett.stret, for 1401. ; :lot 2, premises in Moogret•strest, for 661.; lot 3, premiaes is same street, for 1201. ; lot 4, house in Marrs:rest, fur 761. ; lot 5, premises is West Watergate, fur 731. Total amount, 4951. _ _ - •- The Limerick Chrrtic . le contains the following statement : it has gre - stly esnaola us, it has cot surprised its in Eng= lard, to sea the warm interest maniksted in Ireland in the restoration of our English hierarchy. And I doubt not that ~tir Hely Father will r. joice to see the hearty and filial concurrence with his kindness to us which Ireland has shown. In my own name, and in that of my brother bishops, I beg to offer to 'cur I,,rdrhip and your clergy our warmest thanks and the lxpreseicn of our since rest affection, strengthened by the new proofs which we are now receiving of strong and generous friendship. I know likew:se that I speak the language of all catholic besets in England, when I say that alt such will rejoice, when the resolutions from Cork are rir.de known to tl.sm, anti I feel justified in beforehand tendering their best thanks. The viol/Li excitement which has been caused by the jos' and salutary measure of the Hely See is fast Bohai& ilia ; and I trust that more re.lsonable views will soon succeed to the misapprehensions wri:h have been too industriously raised upon the subject. Uniting myself to the prayers of all your lordship's clergy, and sincerely thanking your lord- Ain for the truly fra•ernal art which you havo performed, 1 One of the very few Eegluh pnrehasen who have ap peared in the Encumbered Estates Court has turned cut a defaulter, He purchased a portion of the estate of Mr. James Wall, Cooluamuck, Waterford, for 10001., but never paid a penny into court, nor replied to the communication of the commissioners to fulfil Dig bargain. The Marquis of Waterford had offered 14,0001. for the property. The court bas issued as attachmeat against the defaulter, which may be executed in England if he can be found there, end he will be held accountable for all costs and deficiencies. Some of the Irish papers complain bitterly that a commission of inquiry into legal affair., similar to that lately given to England in relation to the Court of Chancery, has not been granted to this country. It such a commission were confined to the proceed ings in Chancery for the present, it would be suffi cient ; and it is urged very reasonably that while a re form in that quarter is most urgently required, any attempt to effect it by an act of parliament without some such previous inquiry, as has been done in the case of some recent Irish acts of law reform, must incur the risk of being abortive and injurious. The Irish Jurist says: In England a commission of Indyy is issued before im portant legal changes are allowed to be made. The neon sity for such a commission is deeply felt and cruise for in Ireland, not for the sake of the professions, but of the public, whose interests are deeply and vitally assailed by a system of crude and ill.digested legislation. Tne bar of Wear' unanimously asked for such a commission at their lest meeting. With what colour of justice cen it be soneeded la the one country and denied to the other? A Limerick paper says, " A great outrage was committed in St. Michael's parish church on Thurs day by a party of the military seizing upon a soldier who had tendered himself for marriage. The affair is under investigation by the proper authorities." The Marquis of Clanricarde, Lords Clonbrock and Dunkellin, are sojourning at Roxborough, the seat of Dudley Perese, Rag., on a shooting party. The latest accounts from Killarney are that Mr. Daniel O'Connell is progressing favourably,under the lam of his two fingers and thumb.

N. RIDINOTON. Ma gist:atm at Petty Sessions, City Limerick. The Bowser of Ulster, an extreme tenant right organ, thus alludes to an address which has been presented by the tenantry of Sir R. B.

The tenant right meeting held some time since in Kilkenny having adopted a resolution cullteg on the local members of parliament either to give their .:onotenanee and support to the principles of the Irish Tenant League, or resign their scats, and that tesolunun having been duly communicated to the county and borough members, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Butler, and Mr. Greene, the two former gentlemen have not thought it necessary to return any reply, aed the third, Mr. Graeae, has simply, in answer to the notification of the meeting, referred them to his past votes in parliament as carrying out to the fullest extent every pledge which he made to his canstitn ems, and all that he believed to be their wishes and their interesto, adding : " As it is not my intention to ilt.viive for the future from the line of conduct I have pursued in the past, I trust I may with some confidence lock back to my votes on the tenant question, when brought before parliament; as likely to prove generally sstisfat tory to my constituents." Archbishop in acknowledging, among other donations for tie relief of the poor, the munifi cent remittance of 1001. from Lord Petra, writes sa follows to the Freeman's Journal: But it Is not by the hereditary benevolence of his house that this noblemen is alone distinguished. Ile Inherits, too, a lofty and a generous zeal f^r the freedom of conscience, and • determination that that civil and religious liberty which is rather the bout than the real boon of err ry British oubjea, shall not in future, as in past times, be a mere insulting name. For his ieasona`,le stand in defence of the nunseed rights of catholic' be and his associates who have tuned the recent spirited ileclaratim are entitled to gratitude; and they may he assured that the Irish catholic' will not be be t ind hand, nor will they be unmindful of the prestige of the triumph of emancipation. A letter has been received in Dublin from B;shop Welch, of Halifax, in which that prelate, on the sub jrct of the American packet station and the Halifax railway project, says: Nova Scotia is sending to Englund by this night's packet one of the moat talented. influ.ntial, and energetic of bet Mg, the Hon. Joseph Horne, a leading member of the ca binet, and member of our provincial parliament tor the county of Halifax. He is also the secretary, and has heen for many years the leading man on the libtr Aside ef politica. He goes as a deputy from the cabinet here to England to raw a loan for the railroad on the security of the premises of Nova Scotia. On financial condition is in a most healthy state, far more secure and independent that the generality of the British provinces. With the guarantee of en act of the pro •incial parliament it is believed that the sum required could be e.stly raised amongst Hagfish capitalists. But if the se curity cad the imperial government could be obtained for the payment of the interest, it is thought the money could be had two per cent. cheaper than other •ise, a difference which would be of great moment to us. To accomplish this Mr. Horne pees to England, and SIEO 'peeks, if necessary, of going to Ireland to create public opinion there in favour of a measure which will be of such paramount importance to Ireland. I tear the friends of Ireland are not fully alive to the importance of this great Atlantic railway, with its termiaus in Nova Scotia, withia six days' nail of the Irish coast. No living man tan calculate the wonderful results to Ireland. A TRANSATLANTIC PACKET STATION IN IRELAND. —We (Anglo CM) are happy to observe that the English press has at length bees turned to 041 establishment of • transatlantic packet station In Ireland. and they they now admit its necessity, and the impossibility of long deterring the measure. The exigencies of English trade require it; and this being so, we may lock upon it almost in tits light of • fact accomplished. The wealthy New England states of America have resolved upon, and are actually taking measures for, the construction of • railroad from Halifax to baton, with the sole view of erring time and money in conveying passengers and int. 'licence from Europe, and an Irish packet station Is avowedly • part of their entile design. The only question low remaining appears to us to be the selection of the port in Ireland where the packet station will be. The advantages of Galway over other Irish ports appear to us so evident, that we think the question as to its supe riority admits of **discussion. It is placed also about half way between the northern sad southern extremities of the west coast of Ireland, and would not afford any undue advantage to either of the provinces of Munster or Ulster, whereas the establishment of • more southern port would leave the province of Ulster more removed from American communication than it is now by the Liverpool packets. To Cavan the Galway route will afford considerable advantages. We ate already in communication with the Midland Railway by conveyances, Sto., to Mullingar, and it Is not easy to cal curate waist great benefits may result from our proximity to the main route of travel and transit between the two hemi spheres of the world. We are led to make them remarks from the perusal of • very sensible article on the subject in the Daily Nave.
