The Catholic Associations, it seems, gain no ground among the well-informed persons in Ireland, notwithstand ing the philanthropy of their avowed purpose—that of producing peace and concord among all classes. Their pro ceedings do certainly not promise to realise this vision of pacific empire. Mr. O'CONNELL and his friends have chalked out a pretty broad line of conduct for their public labours ; but to begin with evading a statute enacted for preserving the tranquillity of Ireland, is to afford rather an ominous prelude to subvert, to the utmost of their means, the authority of a Legislature, and rather an eqtrivocal sam ple of their sincerity in preaching up obedience to the laws. The Catholic chieftains put forth, as one of the prominent features of their plan, that of numbering their population, that its gross amount may be the more correctly compared with that of the Protestants. It is expected, no doubt, that on counting these legions, the latter will bow their haughty crest, and that the British Parliament will be in duced to accede to those claims, which upon a calculation of prudence it may be deemed unsafe any'lcinger to with hold. But in truth we should eepect no mei result from this display. Catholic concession was never discussed as a question of numbers ; it has always bceu made to rest on considerations of a very different natant. That causes— Igreat and just causes--of complaint exist in Ireland, can not be denied, and their removal must ever be an object of enitout desire to the most enlightened minds. The true bearings of the question of Catholic Emancipation have never been placed, as it appears to us, in their true and proper light by either of the leading parties, whether of its advocates or its enemies. The friends of the Catholic cause insist on the injustice of excluding any class of sub jects from any offices of trust and profit in the State on the ground of their religion : while their opponents, on the other hand, contend that the religion of the State, being esta blished by law, must be upheld and protected by the law, which, for this purpose, is justified in excluding from the higher offices of Government all persons of a different reli gious creed, inasmuch as their weight and influence, when invested with power, may be employed to purposes hostile to the interests of that Church which the Government has pledged itself to the nation to maintain. Taking these opposite grounds of opinion, both parties may'argue plau sibly and without end ; while the many, who would gladly make up their minds conscientiously on one side or the other, could they come to any satisfactory conclusion, are left at the mercy of the last argument, on whichever side it be : those who undertake, for the time, to think for them, interweaving quite enough of truth into their rea soning to prevent their thinking for themselves. That every man should be permitted to worship God in his own way, and according to that form which he con scientiously believes to be acceptable to him, is a truth which we should be sorry to hear controverted. It is a truth which every honest and enlightened statesman must admit ; it is a truth to which the clergy of our Established Church most readily subscribe. But, this being granted, does it not follow that no class of persons in the State ought to be subjected to any civil disabilities on account of their religion ? Assuredly it des. On what ground, then, it is asked, is It. that the religion of the Roman Catholics is made to disqualify its members from holding those offices to which the law has declared them inadmissible ?—Here it is that we pause.—lt is in reply to this home question, arising out of a chain of reasoning perfectly logical, that It becomes necessary to take those important distinctions which can alone enable us to reply to it as we ought—that is, fairly, intelligibly, and without shrinking from any one consequence which the premises involve. We say, then, that it is not the religion of the Roman Catholics that either gave rise to their exclusion from high official power, or that still continues in force the remaining ' , disabilities of which they so urgently complain. It is the political doctrines engrafted on that religion, and which I have, from the very origin of the Popish councils in which they were framed, been made subservient to the worst excesses of spiritual tyranny—it is these, and the bulls, I sentences, confessions, absolutions, interdicts, and dis pensations which follow in their train, that inspired that dread of the re-admission of the Catholics to power and place, and which bolted the doors of preferment against them with such decided force. Every religion, in its essence, must combine a regard for man with its love of that Eternal Being whom it worships—it is not, there. fore, against the religion of the Roman Catholics that those laws are still retained from which they seek to be eman cipated: it is against those bigotted and sanguinary prin. ciples which have governed the Roman Church from its commencement, aril which will govern it to the end—it is these, and the dread array of spies, inquisitors, and con fessors, which are identified with its hierarchy, that Pro testants fear to encounter, and which they would fain keep at arm's length. The religion of the Catholic, viewed in the abstract, has in it the essence of Christianity—it has within it, consequently, the whole of those moral precepts which Christianity enjoins ; it is not, therefore, against the religion of Ireland—identified in all that is essential with their own—that the Protestants of England stand upon their guard. No ; it is to the complete dominion over the conscience which the intriguing pato» of th2t communion exercise,, and the studious care with which they keep down the lower elms., in that state of moil, ignorance, which makes them at all times the fit tools as well u the ready instruments of their priesthood, to whatever service they may be called ; it is to this, and to the dangrr arising out of it, that they look with alarm, and against which they meek security in those remaining laws which they refuse to surrender to the Catholic claims. Doer ott TROY, in his celebrated Pas toral Letter of 1703, says that the religious concerns of Ireland are regulated by a College of Cardinals at Rome. In our opinion, however, the reign of spiritual and tem- 1 Iporal usurpation, as far as the Holy Pontiff is concerned, is pretty well at an end, but is the hatred of heretics ex-1 tinguished ? Is the spirit of proselytism less active ? Is the belief in miracles less implicit ; or is the machinery of Popish superstition pla• ed off with less success on the ig- ' norant peasantry of Ireland at this day, than it has been for ages past ? Have not the Jesuits, under the present Pontiff, Leo Xll. pained an ascendancy in the Roman States, and in all the Catholic States of the Continent —I France among the foremost,—that threatens to throw Europe back half a century in the progress of civilization? Let not those among the Catholic leaders, who wish to lay hold of popular disquietude to speed forward the canoe they advocate—let them not urge that it is to their religion, as Catholics, that our laws are host le. It is not the truth. The leading doctrines of that religion make part equally of the Protestant and Catholic faith. They are to be found in :bat Gospel which they both eqnally revere. ~MIIM _ ._ • The attack made upon the Catholic power at the lidbr **- lion was not against the exterior form of worship, or against the tenets of religious belief. equh accompanied that worship. It was against ti* . t dominion of the Romish Church—the overwhelming tyranny of its priest hood—the imperious despotisni- which they exercised over the freedom of opinion—the extortionate purposes to which they applied all the mystic symbols of the faith—the system of fraud, artifice, oppression, and intermeddling by which they got the direction of the conduct and conscience of the people, and possessed themselves of every avenue to wealth and authority in the State—all this it was, combined with the merciless bigotry of the Popish Clergy, and the impious pretensions of the Papal power, that mah England rise to rescue herself from a dominion which trampled her iu the dust. We have been induced to go into this subject at some length, from our anxiety to remove a misconception which is fruitful of mischief and of false reasoning. Bat having said thus much, we would ask Mr. O'Coh NELL, and the leading members of the Catholic Aristocracy, with whom he acts, whether, in this view of the subject, those who are hostile to the grant of any power to the Irish Catholics be yond what they at present possess, are likely to be con ciliated by any arguments drawn from their superior nnm bers—from their facility of levying contributions—from the concentration of their strength by associations—and from the Imposing attitude which they would fain assume before the British Parliament? If they are kept out of power from a dread of the use they might make of it, is it worse in the Catholics to make a parade of the muster-roll of their population, of their financial resources, and of all the well-concerted means which they hare of becoming Me ruling power in Ireland It—We Would entreat them to reflect upon the course They are pursuing. Neither our . . . _ apace, nor our leisure, will permit us to pursue the sub ject further at present, but occasion enough will be pre sented to us of recurring to it. 1 CITY, FRIDAY EVILNING. As has been anticipated for some time in this Paper, the British funds are rapidly regaining the decline which occurred in them during the last six months. The investment of money in the Consols since the opening has exceeded one million for account of individuals not interested generally in commerce, and the mercan tile interest has funded probably to the same extent. The Sinking Fund, and the Trustees of the Savings Banks, are also limiting the quantity of floating stock in the market, and apparently only a short period is necessary to take from the Consols the discount tin der which they are at present labouring. In 1737, British Tkree per Cent. Steck was worth 107, and surely neither the state of agriculture, nor of commerce, was better, nor the probability of the continuation of peace greater in that year than it is now in 1825. The Consols for the August account opened at 91, advanced early in the day to 914. They fell for a short time to 914, In consequence of a heavy sale effected by an eminent Broker, but they were too buoyant to remain long depressed by this cir cumstance, and they closed at 9111, the market continuing to exhibit %strong indication of a more extensive improvement. To morrow a quantity of Stock must be again delivered; and un. less higher prices induce the holders of this description of property to sell, it must be again borrowed at a rate of interest ruinous to any speculation on the reduction of the value of National Securi ties. On Tuesday, It is also understood, some heavy deliveries of stock must be made. IS'ith a flourishing commerce, with a well employed population with an abundant capital, and with an almost certain prospect that the peace of the world cannot be speedily dis turbed, it is impossible to expect any other result from such a state of society titan a vast increase of capital, and a proportionate diffi. eulty in productively employing the reward of general industry. On the Foreign Stock Exchange not much business has been done. Austrian Bonds are # per cent. dearer, but the amount of them oo sale is insignificant. Prussian Bonds have also Improved about 4 per cent., and as to sdpply, the same remark may be ap plied to this description of ,public security which has been applied to that of Austria. Colombian Bonds of 1824 have again reached 86. They are still under their value, and yielding, as they do, more than twice the interest to be obtained in the British Funds, a considerable improvement is expected in the Stock of this rapidly rising Republic. Mexican Scrip is a shade dearer. Peruvian Stock, on the contrary, is lower than it was yesterday. Greek Scrip has also again declined to a ruinous discount of 124 per cent. The transactions in the Share Market are at present not interest ing. The old established Associations now require capital to ape. culate in them, and the proprietors of them are too thoroughly con. vinced of their future prospects to part with their interest in them at the present currency. No great alteration, therefore, can be ex pected in shares of this description until the annuity to be hereaf. ter received from them be more exactly ascertained. In other de. scriptions of Shares the public do not repose much confidence, and the prices of them are chiefly regulated by the ides which is enter. tained of the state of the time bargains, for many of them are of rto value except in as far as they afford a good medium fur gaming transactions. The only novelty in the Share Market is the introduction of a new Association for mining, and for other purpose in in Hayti. This is an object beyond the reach of private capital, and is conse. quently a most fit subject for the enterprise of a public company. The projectors are noblemen and gentlemen of great eminence, and nothing can be more pure and beneficent than their purposes. In early times, the Prospectus states, the mint, or seneiting-house smelted an. nually from the mines of La Viga and Buena Ventura alone 460,000 marks of gold. From political motives, however, the Spaniards cans. ed this source of wealth in Hispaniola to be suddenly closed, and the further working of mines was prohibited under heavy penalties. "hey are still, however, considered to be filled with great stores of riches, and are particularly mentioned by Mr. Walton, in his account of the Spanish Colonies, published so late as 1810. The other objects of this Association are tobacco, of a quality not in. tenor to that of Cuba, cotton and indigo, all articles of easy growth in Hayti, and of general cem , vmption in Europe. His Majesty's ship the flatmate, has been ordered to he got ready for sea immiately, to proceed from Falmouth with despatches direct to Mexico. The Emperor and Empress of Austria arrived at Breads on the 3th instant, where they were received with every !demonstration of loyal attachment by the populace. The Neapolitan General Guglielmo P.pe is at present, znd has for some time been, residing at Brussels. The Ark has mired from Berbice, and brings letters to the 52:1d of May, that represent that island in the most per fect state of tranquillity. The late rains, although too late for the crops of this year, bad cotne most fortunately for those of next year. A letter from New York states that General Mo rales has been taken by a Colombian privateer. He had sailed some time ago from Cadiz for the Havannah. Jamaica Gazettes to the 22d May have been received, but they contain no political intelligence. Some severe thunder storms had been felt on the 6th May at Morant Bay and in the neighbourhood. The thunder was accom panied with terrible falls of rain, and near Morant Bay and at other places by tremendous hail showers and pieces of broken ice, things altogether unusual in that quarter of the world. The hail-stones were in some instances as large as musket-balls. The negroes were dreadfully fright-1 ened at phenomena wholly new to them, and considered ' these as the forerunner of some awful judgment. A meeting of the merchants of Singapore took place on the 16th of November, when it was resolved to change the existing currency of that settlement to the hard dollar, and to take effect from the Ist January, 182.5, from which slate all sales and purchases are to be made in hard dollara. Purchasers will have the option of paying in Dutch guilders and rupees, at the rate of two hundred and sixty (260) for one hundred (100) bard dollars.—Pr ince of Wales's Island Gazette, Dec. 8. The heat of the summer appears to have been as exces sive in in the United States as in this country, and an abundant harvest is confidently anticipated throughout the Union. Amongst the many mantic projects on which the Americans are employed, is the grand state road, which,. when executed, will fortn a continuous uninterrupted highway of 3,300 miles in extent, through the territories of the United States and the i‘lexicin republic, to the city of Mexico.

Two camps are about to be formed upon the frontiers of France, towards Spain, but whether the forces they contain are to stand as corps (y - observation, instead of the army of occupation, or to aid it in case of need, is not at present made known. We are informed the intention is to prepare for the evacuation of the Peninsula. The fact of the formation of the camps, we are enabled to say, is Certain. Positive orders have been received at Bayonne for the immediate preparation of a camp at the domain of Marne (about a mile from the gates of the city), for the reception of 15 battalions of infantry, each to consist of GOO effective men, making in all 9,000 men. Two regiments of cavalry are also named, which will canton, fur the sake of forage, at the village of Ustarritz, about three leagues from Bayonne, and at St. Jean de Luz. The like arrangements are taking place on the side of Perpignan. The arrange ment of the park of Maroc for a camp has actually com menced, and is continued with activity. A suitable train of artillery will be attached, so as to form a complete di vision, at present called the division of reserve. The 6th French regiment of the line, at present in garrison at Pampeluna, are under orders to march to Madrid, to rein force that garrison ; they will be replaced by a regiment immediately expected at Bayonne. Vittoria, Burgos, San- tander, and Corunna, daily present some disturbances, and the loss of lives frequently is the consequence.—Glube and Traveller. M Extro.—Papers received by the Editor of the Plata ' delphia 'National Gazelle contain a full account of the mi litary sedition in the island of Sacrificios. A corrupt un derstanding bad been established between a small number of the soldiers there and the Castle of Ulloa. The affair does not appear to have bad any ramifications, and termi nated with the execution of several of the culprits. It is hoped that a powerful effort will speedily be made by the Mexican Government to dislodge the Spanish royalists at the castle of Ulloa, for as long as their presence is suffered to pollute the Mexican soil, attempts will he made to seduce the ignorant and protect the disaffected.—Boston Papa, Jane 14. Mixrxo Srocc—A letter from Buenos Ayres, dated in February, says—" The shares of the La Plata Mining Company in Buenos Ayres, the cost of which was 1,000, were held at 3,000 dollars ; one who had sold a share for 3,000 dollars, had ofKred 5,00 dollars, but could not have it again.—Nrte York Gazette. 11:"e understand that there is now in the Fees an his torical novel, entitled tl•.e Hof earts Sled. It is from the pen of an author who has sent forth several successful works. The am : elation front which the forthcoming novel takes its name had ren. dered itself extremely formidable throughout the northern parts of Ireland about the beginning of the late King's reign. A%a hope ~that the author has availed himself of the opportunity afforded by bis rabjcct to tbrow sou: libht ou the preceedinga of that period. PLAGUE IN EGYPT!

A letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, dated the 10th instant, inserted in the Oracle de Bruxelles, contains the fui• lowing particulars:— " Aix-la-Chapelle is in possession of the most ancient and most precious relics, and they are only exposed to the view of the Faithful every seventh year. The year Nei time for this sight has now arrived. Last Saturday, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the repository in the Cathe. dral where they relics are preserved, was opened. It i a chest enriched with jewellery, and was carried with great pomp into the middle of the choir. More than two thou. sand persons, among whom was the young Duchess of Arcnburg, occupied the body of the cathedral. The rig. ing of bells bad announced this septennial ceremony. !ha Virgin's robe, the swaddling clothes in which the Son of God was wrapped at the moment of his birth ; the dotlt which co 'erect a part of Jesus Christ's body when he was nailed the cross, and lastly the linen in which the Ludy of St. John was enveloped after his decapitation. " On Sunday, the succeeding thy after high mass, these relics were carried to the top of the cathedral tower, and there, by the sound of bells and trumpets, shown to the in numerable multitude who filled the neighbouring sheets and squares. The number of spectators was estimated at between twenty and thirty thousand. From four o'clock. in the morning all the roads leading to Aix were covered with pilgrims, horses, chariots, and all manner of equipages, ancient and modern. Even the whole of the inhabitants of one village flocked to the town. This eon. comae of spectators, and the showing the relics, will eon. thine for fifteen days, counting from last Sunday. But what would be still more curious than the sight of the relics would be the exhibition of the certificate of etch origin; it is probable that in such a case the number cf inquisitive would be even greater than at present. One ought not, however, to come far to see these wonders; for there are few countries which does not possess the same relics that are shown at Aix-la-Chapelle, and it is well understood that where you may happen to be there Me only true ones." TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS Ste-,—From the annexed article, copied from the St James's Chronicle, one would suppose that it was a custom in the island of Jamaica to sell free persons into slavery. Now the actual fact is this : on every estate there will be some lazy vagabonds, who, absconding from labour, prefer to live a wandering life, subsisting by cheating and plun der. When apprehended they are sent to the nearest work house. Believing that it may assist in their escape, they frequently assume a false name, and its many instincts state that they are free, and fabricate the name of a father or relative who never existed. This I know from actual knowledge. They are kept in the workhouse a certain number of months. If no owner appears to claim them, and they still assert they are fre e, they arebrought before a Special Sersion or Board of Magistrates, sum moned fur the purpose. Witnesses, documents, and every other description of evidence are examined. If their claim to freedom is substantiated, they are liberated; if not, they are directed to Le sold for the pay ment of their maintenance, fees, &c.; and I positively assert that no Black can be sold from a workhouse who asserts that he is free without the above investigation liar ing taken place. In many instances slaves give in fictitious names for the purpose of being sold out of the wo:khousss, as the sum for which they are sold is so trifling, that they get their friends or acquaintance or some relative to pur chase them, and they, by this means, as an arrangementl has taken place between the parties, become free; there fore,l instead of perpetuating slavery, in most instances it is thc very reverse. VERAX. [From the St. James's Chronicle, July 16 " In the Royal Gazelle of Jamaica, of the 10th of September, is contained the followils advertisement : •• Mancheitir IVorkhouse, August 4, 1024. Notice is hereby given, that unless the under.m,n•iined shins are taken out of this workhouse prior to Wednesday, the I.'ilth I September next, they will on that day, between the hours of t.'s I and twelve o'clock in the forenoon, be put up to puLlie sale, and sold to the highest and best bidder, at the Court-house, Mandeville, agreeably to the workhouse law now in force for payment of their fees :—Lleenor Davidson, a Creole, four feet eleven inches; sha has a little girl wilt her, and has been delivered of a male child since she has been in the workhouse; says she is free, and that John Davidson, a free brown man, of Kingston, is her father. " By order of the Cnm•uissioners, "JOHN HOLLINGSWORTH, Supervisor." (Now follow the editorial remarks:—) '• It was only in September last that the outrageous violation of humanity and Justice was perpetrated under the operation of t hat it mockery in law in the island of Jamaica. and that not covertly l.ut openly. A female, the mother of two children, one recently bet n. is confined in gaol, without a pretext of any kind for her arrest an 1 imprisonment; and, without a single reason being assigned for It, is doomed, with her children, to perpetual slavery." • THOMASTON, JCNE 14.—0 n Saturday night last, some person, not having the fear of dungeons, lime rock, or gun powder before his eyes, descended through the passage fur the admission of teams into the prison-yard, opened the inner gate, broke the lock of the powder magazine, and removed therefrom two casks of powder. He had conveyed lone cask to the passage way, and was snaking off with the other, when he was perceived by the man cn guard, who on hailing him and receiving no answer, discharged his rifle at hilts as he was passing through the inner gate. Dark as it was, the fellow had a " hair-breadth escape; . as upon examination it was found, that the ball must have passed within two inches of his heat!. Taking a dislike to gunpowder all at once, and perhaps not listing fond of the music of bullets whistling about Ins ears, he dropt his Dupont and effected his escape. At the time of firing the guard supposed it was one of the convicts who had con trived to break out of his cell, although he had a few minutes before examined the cells and found all safe. Rogues often break out of prison, but we have.ncver before heard of any one so partial to such places as to give him self the trcuble to break in.—New Turk Gu.l4le, June 23. Tire Cocooy, QUEEN Brmis.—This aqmishing insect is about one inch and a quarter in length, and what is wonderful to relate, she carries by her side, just above her waist, two brilliant lamps, which she lights up at plea sure, with the solar phosphorus, furnished her by nature. These little lamps do not flash and glimmer, like that of the fire fly, but give as steady a light as the gas light, exhi biting two perfect spheres, as large as a minute pearls which affords light enough in the darkest night to enabl, one to read print by them. On carrying her into • dark closet in the day-time she immediately illuminates her lamps, and instantly extinguishes them on coming again into ie light. But language cannot describe the beauty and sublimity of these lucid orbs in miniature, with which nature has endowed the queen of the insect kingdom.— Ncw Fork Advertiser, June 23.
