This book is exceedingly well wor th reading." — Press. Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great liarlbo rough-street, MR. WILKIE COLLINS'S N7tL'W WORIV.; ? Now ready, at all the•Librariea, in 3-vole., ~,~ ~C= Z THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11 1859. PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY. The first trial of this new steam frigate took place on the 12th of September, on the measured mile outside the breakwater, when an average speed of 13 2-10ths knots was obtained. It was then consi dered that her build and engines justified the expec• t ation that a gr eater rate of speed could be obtained from her, and some alterations were suggested. As the cutting off of the corners of the fans of the Mersey, a sister ship, had been attended with suc cessful results, it was determined to adopt the same course by the Orlando, and two pieces 5 feet 4 inches long, by 2 feet 7 inches wide, weighing 5 cwt., were removed. It was also resolved to trim her nearer to the depth designed by Sir Baldwin Walker —viz., 21 feet forward and 23 feet aft. Two of her iipper deck guns were therefore placed on the main dec'-. and most of the shot Was removed from the racks to the provision and bread rooms to compen sate for the absence of the sea stores. In this condition she started for a second trial on Wednesda•', when she drew 20 feet 10 inches for ward, and 22 feet 9 inches aft. Nothing has been done to her sternpost. The weather was very fine, and the Orlando, which is now in charge of Mr. George Marsh, additional master of the Wellington, was piloted by Mr. Paull, second master-attendant of Devonport Dockyard. Capt. Robinson and Commander Risk, who are at the head of the steam reserve in Plymouth, with hands from the Wellington, superintended the ex periment. Mr. Triekett, chief engineer of Keyham, watched the working of the machinery on the part of the Admiralty, and Mr. Wigzell was in charge of the engines on behalf of Messrs. Penn and Son, the manufacturers, this being what is termed a " contractor's trial." There were scarcely any visitors besides the Earl of Morley and. Admiral Kino.combe. Capt. Rice, of the Royal Albert, Capt. Stewart,' of the Impreg nable, and Capt. Roderick Dew, of the Encounter, were on board ; also the engineer of the Royal Al bert, Mr. Rumble, who, with several engineer cadets belonging to that ship, paid frequent visits to the engine -room. THE STEAM FRIGATE ORLANDO. The Adelaide screw transport, Captain Bowen, steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday morn ing, and berthed al Ingsido the north jetty of the dockyard. She will embark the 4th Battalion 60th Rifles, from Aldershott Camp for Waterford, at noon this day. %Y hear that Mr. Napier, of the Clyde, has re ceived an order from Government for an iron steam ram. THE QUEEN OY HEARTS, By WILKM COLLINS, Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham dockyard giving directions for no repairs to be exe cuted on the floating battery Trusty, 14, until the nature and extent of the injuries she sustained dur ing the experiments made on her at Shoeburyness with the elongated shots from the Armstrong guns have been ascertained and reported upon. The Ariadne, 32, screw steam frigate, in the fitting dock at Chatham, has her topmasts on end, and is being completed as rapidly as possible in order that she may be ready to hoist the pennant. The new screw steam frigate Forte, 51, was put out of No. 3 dry dock at Sheerness yesterday, and taken to harbour moorings in the river Medway. She is now ready f)r being commissioned. The steam sloop Renard, 4, Commander J. G. Goodenough, now at Sheerness, is under orders to leave for Portsmouth to-morrow morning. The present guardship of ordinary at Sheerness, the Formidable, 84, sailing ship, is ordered to be con verted as the flagship at that port, and the sailing ship Cumberland, 70, recently ordered as guardship of steam ordinary, is to be armed with 24 32-pounder guns, 9 feet long and of 50 cwt., and to be appro priated as guardship of ordinary, and to be com manded by Capt. Superintendent R B. Watson, C.B. An order has arrived at Sheerness for Capt. E. B. Rice, at present Flag Captain to Rear-Admiral of the Red Sir C. H. Fremantle. K.C.8., of the Royal Albert, to command the Formidable, at Sheerness, guardship of ordinary, vice Capt. E. P. Halsted, whose time has expired. The screw steam troopship Vulcan, Commander A. C. Strode, has arrived at Sheerness from the westerit ports, with supernumeraries and volun teers for the ships at that port. The Challenger, 21 guns, screw steam corvette, has been taken into the fitting basin at Sheerness to be . brought forward for being commissioned. Sir Richard Madox Bromley, K.C.8., Account ant-General of the Navy, paid an official visit yes terday to Portsmouth dockyard, being his first offi cial resumption of business since his late serious illness, from which, we feel much pleasure in being able to state, Sir Richard has quite recovered. Signal was made yesterday at 11 a.m. to the Mars, 80, screw, Captain J. N. Strange, lying at Spithead, to prepare immediately for sea. The Snake, 4, screw gun vessel, arrived at Spit head yesterday from the eastward. The Dee steam storevessel, Master Commander Pullen, sailed from Portsmouth yesterday for Wool wich: The Mohawk, 4, screw steam sloop, Commander P. C. C. M'Dougal, was undocked yesterday , from No. 7 dock in Portsmouth dockyard, where she has undergone very extensive repairs, and placed in the steam basin for masting and completing her outfit for further service. Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., the Commander-in- Chief at Portsmoutk, accompanied by Captain Lord John Hay, C. 8., of her Majesty's ship Odin, paid a visit yesterday to the brig 3 acht Alfred, in Ports mouth harbour, for the purpose of inspecting Mr. Cunningham's adaptation of his system of reefing from the deck to seagoing screw gun vessels. The Alfred has been specially fitted to demonstrate the plan. The greater portion of the keel of the Glas gow frigate has been laid on the blocks underneath the shed from which the Bacchante was lately launchei. A large number of shipwrights, joiners, millwrights, and other mechanics have been entered in Portsmouth dockyard during the past week. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—John J. Ball, master, to be Harbour Master at Portland; James S. Hill, master to the Asia; and Hugh S. Baillie, midshipman, to the Sphinx. Author of "The Dead Secret," "Afte7; Dark," 3,:0. Hurst and Blacken, 13, Great M arlborough-street.

As the Orlando passed through the Sound she be came an object of great interest to the crews of the ships belonging to the Ch annel fleet and of the Dutch and Brazilian ships of war at anchor there. On nearing the Western Channel when additional steam wus put on to prepare for the trial, most dis agreeable evidence of the continuance of the former vibrating tendency was given. It is true that the reduction of the fans had diminished the evil; the lower masts did not jump so much as formerly, nei ther did the :rigging oscillate to the same extent, but there was yet enough of trembling to make the extremities, the bow especially, most unpleasant, and the rigging, for a sailor engaged on it, most I dangerous. The mean result of the trial gave 12.9 knots ; average revolutions, 52-1 ; mean. pressure, 201 b. ; indicated power, 4,200 horses. On the first. trial the average rate estimated by the engineer was 13.2 ; revolutions, 50; pressure, 201 b, ; indicated power, 4,200 horses. - It will thus be seen that, instead of advancing, the condition of the Orlando has actually retro graded, a fact which took every one on board by surprise. How it occurred, after cutting the cor ners off the fans and altering the pitch of the screw from 32 ft. 6 in. t o 29 ft. 9 in., seemed most unac countable. If these alterations had done nothing it was reasonably hoped that the altered trim would have had some beneficial effect on her speed. After the third run guns and shot were carried forward, so as to trim her probably three inches less by the stern, which apparently had a beneficial effect. In relation to the weather it may be observed that on the second trial the wind was light from the north, with occasional:breezes; but there was a long ground sweel, which did not prevail when she went out first. The rolling of the ship caused by the swell was calculated to have the effect of dimi nishing the revolutions two per minute. In the description of the Orlando which appeared in The Sun of Sept. 13, it was stated that in order to distribute the weights, the boilers were placed before the mainmast, and the engines seated aft. There is a distance between the two of about 40 ft., and it is computed that, as the steam passes through this length of pipe, a loss of 21b. in the pressure is involved. The condition of the engines is perfectly satisfac tory ; they continue to work smoothly, and there is no appearance of hot bearings anywhere. In order to improve the steerage of the f-:, been , ate, an iron yoke with arms nine f ee t fittel at the head of the Norman. 4 now lead more direct, and muell- wheel-ropes :, 1 " ° : * has , the deck.

The original fo greater leverage is it was fitted close -tort yoke remains where tinned to port /) , : r helm, a tendency attributed by con the qua:der:misters to the operat i on o f th e screw , which left-handed. The alteration of the steer o gear has been very successful, and full control is now obtained over the rudder. Yesterday a third trial of the Orlando took place in the presence of Admiral-Superintendent Sir T. Pasley and Captain H. Caldwell, C. 8., of the screw steam frigate Mersey, 40. The same staff was on board. She was run on the measured mile by Mr. Marsh. The two heavy forecastle guns brought aft on the previous occasion were replaced on the fore castle. Her draught forward was 21 feet '2 inches; aft, 22 feet 5 inches, which made her what is termed 15 inches by the stern ; the screw was just im mersed. The weather was very fine, the sea smooth, and there was no ground swell. Force of wind, 4. The alteration of the weights appeared to have de creased the remaining vibration, and to have cor rected the porting of the helm. The mean speed obtained was 13.16 knots ; maximum, 13.43; revo lutions, 53 to 531 per minute ; pressure of steam, 201 b. ; indicated power exerted by the engines, 4,200 hones. As a result of all the trials of the Orlando, her speed may now fairly be put at 13 knots. •• ( 11 1 1111111-N " I k llO 4 - • . 4 - . . 4 / At i 4 • / _ • . •••:" 1 ,7 fp • : l'ts' -• - . • 2 , #liW cr4l:4‘;,, 1, g 0.," ' ge , "' -4 , 14 . / / ' - 1 / 4 14.0'd °IT f->" : - / - 4 ....,..

We loaded as we ran, and fired at distances of 400 to 200 yat ds ; but we had to judge our own distances, and we were kept advancing and retiring as much as possible, so as to confuse us. Now, your know if at 200 yards distance we fired at an elevation of 400. yards, our bullets would go - at least 5 feet above the target.. If, at 400 yards' distance, we tried fire at an eleVation of 200 yards, then the, ',Juliet would strike the ground at 280 yards. Now for the result oloar ball prac tice.

Which means that out of 50 rewards each man on an average had made 47.07 points. Some, of course, had not done so well, and others had done much better. I will now give you the comparison with officers and soldiers who had passed through the previous three courses at _You will- ,no doubt be mertairrtirnt. we volunteers were a long way behind them ; for bear in mind they had 16 position drills—we had only six ; they have a preliminary course of 20 rounds of ball cartridge —we had not any, but fired at once in the third class.

The General 'was surprised at this result he said he expected us to beat the soldiers, because, in shooting, intelligence is what tells, but he could not understand our beating the officers. He could only account for it by, the fact that we had worked so much harder. You see, gentlemen, we have done you no discredit. On Monday night we gave the General and his Staff a splendid dinner, and on Tuesday we left Hythe with heavy hearts, for we all felt we were leaving kind friends ; for, from the General and his Staff we had met with nothing but kindness and atten tion. If ever, it is my lot to visit Hythe again, I should be certain of a warm welcome. Gentlemen, I think it right to tell you all this, because I feel I have been at a .great school, and, as a good dis ciple, I ought to try and impart the knowledge .I have obtained to others. lan proud of your drill already ; but I will tell you what I shall be much prouder of—to see you, at your first ball practice, show a mean average of 47; others have done • it, e and why should not• you ? Whil e at Hythe formed a volunteer•association, the object of which is to hold a meeting in some part of the country once a year, where rifles will be . shot for. Now, there is nothing to prevent one of the fine fellows I see before me winning the first prize, and a high honour it will be.. All I cau say -is that the man who wins it must work for it. Palmam qui meruit ftrat. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Monday Morning. ANOTHER PAPAL MANIFESTO. The paStoral letter of Dr. Cullen, read yesterday in all the chapels of Dublin, runs to such an extra ordinary length in the paper as to defy any attempt at even a summary of its contents. It is manifestly intended to be a great State paper for the instruc tion of the faithful. The nain subjects discussed are the well-thrashed question of education and the perilous position of the Popedom. Of the first no thing new is to be said, but as the Italian difficulty is just now the topic of the day it may be as well to hear what the Pope's delegate in Ireland thinks of the -crisis in the affairs of the Church of Rome. Leaving the question of education, Dr. Cullen turns to what he calls another illustration of " hypocrisy and bigotry acting under the mask of a desire to put down oppression and support the rights of inan." He then proceeds as follows r— " During the past month we must have all ob served that the most wicked attempts have been in cessantly made to misrepresent and malign the acts of the supreme Head of the Church on earth; and especially the temporal administration of his States. In order to persuade the world that the meekest and kindest of men, Pius IX., was a tyrant and an oppressor of his people, statements based upon falsehood and calumny have been recklessly circu lated in the press, and every wicked art employed to show that he was unfit and unworthy to retain any temporal authority. At the same time the Pope's Prime Minister, a man who had displayed extraordinary abilities in managing public affairs, in most difficult and critical times—a man of unim peachable integrity and most virtuous and edifying in his life, a patron and encourager of the fine arts was insulted in the most unworthy manner ; and calumnies against him widely ci rcu l a ted on the authority of a French scribbler, whose ignorance and impudence were only exceeded by his malignity. That many of our statesmen, both Whig and Tory, Liberal and Conservative, rivals for the support of fanatics, took part in this vile combination appears not only from their published speeches and declarations, but also from the diplo matic despatches of a late Minister, Lord Malmes bury, of Lord Loftus, Sir J. Hudson, and other Bri tish agents, who, in a manner unworthy of their high rank, urged France and Austria to rob the Pope of his dominions, and to perform, in contempt of public honesty, an act of injustice which they were ashamed to undertake themselves. While this spirit prevails in high places, we are not to be sur prised that a committee should be projected in Eng land, of which the Evangelical Lord Shaftesbury has provisionally accepted the presidency, for the purpose of arming a band of rebels in Bologna, con sisting in part of outlaws and strangers to that country, and aiding them in their wicked opposition to their just and humane sovereign, our Holy Father Pius IX. And here let us ask, is it not by hypocrisy of an extraordinary character in men to encourage treason and sedition, and trample on the laws of the Gospel, while they assume the name of Evangeli cals, and glorify themselves, like the Pharisees, as models for the imitation of mankind ? " It would be impossible to notice all the attacks that are directed by the press against the Pope's authority, and perhaps it would be almost useless to answei them ; for they are made by persons blinded by passion, and inaccessible to reason, who appear to have nothinein view but to inflict a wound on the Head of the Church. It is not hatred of oppres sion or love of freedom that animates them, but a virulent hatred of Catholicity, and of that rock on which it stands, and will stand for ever. But with out entering into lengthy discussions, it may not be useless to notice one or two of the arguments gene rally alleged on this question. " The first and principal ground of complaint against the Pope appears to be that he is not willing to extend to his dominions that liberal form of Go vernment which, under English influence, and with the applause of the British press, has been in troduced into the Kingdom of Sardinia by its Ministers, Cavour and Rattazzi. But is there any thing in the fruits obtained in that kingdom by the liberalised form of Government to induce the Pope to adopt it ? What has been the effect of the re forms of those applauded Ministers? Under their auspices the property of convents and monasteries has been confiscated, nuns and friars dispersed, priests and bishops exiled or persecuted, the rights of the church invaded, heresy and error patronised, and the fountains of knowledge poisoned by anti- Catholic and infidel teaching. All this has been done under the name of progress and liberality; bat, to show how hypocritical is such a pretence, we may add that the boasted liberty of the press has been assailed, every Catholic newspaper suppressed, and intolerable and most oppressive burdens placed upon the people, so that under the care of the friends of progress, and those who are put forward as models of good statesmen, a country which 12 years ago was happy and' flourishing is now almost reduced to a state of utter destitution and bank ruptcy, and groaning under a fearful despotism. But, forsooth, their liberal institutions are a suffi cient compensation for all their losses and miseries! It is enough that the Catholic Church is robbed and oppressed ; this is sufficient consolation for British Evangelicals in their aspirations for freedom ; they are perfectly satisfied with the hypocritical liberty which gives to a violent and anti-Catholic minority And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan_ Infirmary for the Cure - of Strictur es of the Urethra.

Yesterday commenced the 10th week of the lock-out, and the 12th of the strike, and although the struggle has been a most protracted one there is as little disposition as before on the part of the men to give up the principle for which they have contended.

As stated in our American news yesterday, the cricket match at Montreal finished on the morning of Tuesday, the 27th ult., in an easy victory for the Eleven of England. The Twenty-two of Canada scored 85 in the first innings, and 63 in the second; total, 148. The Eleven made, first innings, 117 ; second (for two wickets), 32. Caffyn and Jackson bowled against the Twenty-two at first ; but runs being got off the fast bowling, Parr was put on with the " slows , " which proved very destructive. The admirable fielding of the Eleven was much admired. There were six thousand spectators present on the last day. The special correspondent of the New York Herald says :—"The Eng lish Eleven play splendidly, and it is a picture to see them ; but they will find tfeir equals in the Twenty-two at Hoboken."

King, of the 2d Cheshire Rifles, on the Rifle Practice at the Hythe School of Musketry. Captain KING said,—=You will perhaps like to know what we did at Hythe, and I will try to tell you as briefly as possible. We assembled thlre on Saturday, the 23d of July, and reported ourselves to the General. Now, a word about Major-General Hay ;she is a fins, handsome man, of very pleasing manners, and much beloved by all about him ; he is a splendid shot, and is seldom seen without his rifle in his hand. There were 42 of us from all parts of the kingdom, of all classes ; there were two peers, Earl Spencer and Earl Pomfret; there were country gentle then, there were barristers, there were men from the Universities of Oxford and Edinburgh, there were merchants, there were tradesmen—all classes, in fact. We requ'resi no introduction ; wo were good Mends as noon as we met. We felt we were all brethren Nvh o had a grand national ob ject in view, the defence of our native land, and this was sufficient introduction. The peer was treated with no more respect than the tradesman, or the tradesman than the peer ; and here let me say, for the honour of the aristocracy of England, that the peers worked quite as hard as any of us, there was no distinction; they were drilled by the sergeants just the same as all of us. On Monday, the 25th of July, we assembled in the barrack tent—a rifle, knee-cap, and book of instruc tions were delivered to each of us. We were then formed into six sections, containing from six to nine each. We were No. 1 Section, and con sisted of the seven men from the four companies in this neighbourhood. We were then ushered into the lecture-room to hear a few words from the General. He told us he was a warm friend of the volunteer movement, which he would de sill• in his power to forward, as he considered it essential to the safety of the country. He thanked us for our zeal in coming so far for instruction, and stated that it mould give b o th hi m and his staff the great est pleasure to impart to us all they could in the very limited time we had for the course. He then stated that if the volunteer force could not shoot they were worse than useless, for " suppose," said he, " there were 200,000 volunteers enrolled, and Government depended on them, and when the hour of trial comes it turns out that not one of them can shoot, why, then, it must be clear we had much better not have a volunteer force at all ; for, if they could not shoot, we should be hanging on a rope of sand. Much better to have 20,000 men, or even 2,000 men who can shoot, than 200,000 who cannot." He then combatted and ridiculed the popular error which has been so much dwelt upon of late in the newspapers, that nothing but plenty of ball practice would ever make men good shots. He told us that such practice only perpetuated error, in fact, made it worse ; that he could bring forward many instances where men shot worse and worse by mere practice, , He told us that the less shooting we had previously had the better ; for those of us who had never fired a gun were most probably the best, as he had merely to teach us to shoot, while those of us who had been in the habit of shooting were probably the worst,' as he would have first to break them off bad habits, and, until they were broken off th em , it was useless to teach them to shoot. He then told us that it was position drill alone which could teach us to shoot ; the more of this a man had the better. A man had never had too much of position drill until lie had not a single fault. The first object of this position drill was to teach men to shoot without ever firing a shot ; and I have not the slightest doubt that this can be done, lam certain of it. He told us that we volunteers ought to be such good shots that our fire would be effective at 600 to 900 yards ; for it would not be safe to employ us in the field at a less distance than this, as, of course, our drill and discipline could not be expected to be such as would enable us to come to close quarters with such troops as the Zsamves, for instance. He then told us that it was an extra ordinary fact that the riflemen of the British army shot worse than any other troops until the last few years. He asked if there ;were any volunteer rifle men present who had_ been embodied some years. There was a 011 . / ..eman from South Devon. The General ask" him if they practised aiming drill ? He said ." No." " Exactly so," said the General, ",7 15 ' like all the rest, are Riflemen only in name." told us that the great object of the instruction at Hythe was to raise the intelligence of the soldier, to make him consider himself an unit, and not a machine. This, from my short experience, I can fully bear out; I feel certain the course of instruction is framed for this object. Now. gentlemen, 1 will tell you our daily work for the first week. The course of instruction was cleaning of arms, theoretical principles, aiming drills, posi tion drills, judging distance drills. In the cleaning of arms we were not only taught to clean our rifle, but every part of the weapon was named and ex plained to us. We were taught to dismount and re mount the lock, and name every part of it. After all this explanation we were questioned, to ascer tain if we understood all which had been told us. The lectures on theoretical principles explained clearly to us the force which drives the bullet for ward, the force which stops its flight, the force which draws it to the ground. The course of the bullet through the air was clearly described, and the reason of having to take a greater elevation when firing at a very distant object. In the aiming drills we placed our rifle upon a tripod, with a sand bag at the top, and laid our aim at the target at all distances, from 150 to 900 yards. After laying the aim, it was examined by one of the staff, or the sergeant, who pointed out any fault that might be in the aim, such as too full or a little to the left or to the right. In the position drills we were taught to handle the rice, to bring the body in the proper position for firing, to bring the rifle to the "present" quickly and steadily. We were taught always to aim at an object, and never to draw our trigger until we had aligned the eye, the object, te back sight, and the fore sight. The greatest pains were taken with us in this position drill, as it is the foundation of good shooting. In judging distance drills, we were marched out to the shingles, where points were placed at different distances for us to observe, and we then had to judge the distance of men placed at various distances from us. We were many of us at the barrack-yard at 6.30 a.m. for an extra drill. We assembled at 9.30 a.m., and were worked till 1 p.m. ; then assembled at 2.30 p.m., and worked till 4.40 p.m. ; then each section went to the quarters of one of them, and discussed and questioned each other on all • they had heard during the day ; work was over at 7 p.m., when we dined. So, you see, your representatives were not idle. On Monday, the Ist of August, we fired blank cartridge, and on Tuesday we began firing ball cartridge, and then commenced such excitement as I never witnessed before. The first course was 'the third class. We fired five rounds at 150 yards, five at 200 yards, five at 250 yards, and five at 300 yards ; and, if we did not make 15 points, we were kept in the third class. Our gallant lieutenant made 29 points; another man, Warner, of Oxford, made the same ; and this was the largest score. I only made 14 points, and, like all blockheads, was kept in the third class ; but, I have the satisfaction to say, I got out of it. and am now a second-class man. Lieutenant Horner is a first-class man, and En sign Bower, of the Rockferry Company, has the honour of being a marksman. The second class was five rounds at 400 yards, five at 500 yards, five at 550 yards, and five at 600 yards. It was necessary to make 12 points out of these to get into the first class, and 17 of our whole number stuck in the second class. The first class was five rounds at 650 yards, five at 700 yards, five at 800 yards, and five at 900 yards. And it was necessary to make seven points out of these to become a marksman, and there were ne lasted from than 14 who did this. This practice from Tuesday to Saturday, and I cannot describe to you the excitement of it. It exceeded anything I ever saw. Hunting, or cricket, or boating is nothing to it. I felt, when I saw it, that there was no mistake about the volunteer movement; and there is no reason why there should not be the same excitement when the Cheshire companies march from their parade ground for ball practice as there was at the barrack yard at Hythe. I ought to tell you that we subscribed for three rifles—one for the best shot of the whole; one for the best shot of the right wing; one for the best shot of the left wing. Warner, of Oxford, won the first • Robert Tinley, of Liverp oo l, th e second ; Coxe, of! Derby, the third. I cannot attempt to describe to you the excitement on Saturday afternoon. The struggle was between Warner and Tinley for the first prize —they were firing at 600 yards. There were many spectators, and as each of these men knelt to fire there was not even a whisper heard ; all seemed afraid even to breathe. They both got 11 points—a tie ; but Warner won, as in the previous classes he had made 53 points, and Tinley 51. Tinley had un fortunately twice aimed at the wrong target, and hit it, and these two points did not count, otherwise Warner and Tinley would have been ties through out. On Monday we fired 10 rounds file firing, 10 rounds volley firing, and 10 rounds skirmishing. // - 2 -c 4.EWS PAPER Meanwhile, the first fruits of the Bishop's pastoral e made manifest in the following statement copied, from the Carlow Sentinel. As example is contagious there will doubtless be no lack of similar announce ments from other quarters : " The late pastoral issusd by the Roman Catholic prelates against further connexion with the Na tional Board of Education, and a united system of education, has already been carried into effect in Carlow. The schoolmaster acting hitherto under the authorities at Marlborough-street has been dis missed, and the school is now under the manage ment of the Christian Brothers. The national school books are laid aside,• and all mementoes of the Board obliterated by this new order of religious instructors. On Monday large crowds of children of both sexes visited the private residence of the Christian Brothers, whore they were registered and classified, after which books and catechisms, of course permissu _ sapertorn In, were distributed at a smart price to the poor, thus blotting out the Na tional Board from the map of Carlow. This is the first intimation that came under our notice of the war against the National Board. How far the people of Ireland will accept the new decree, and carry it out in all its integrity, remains to be seen. Ultramontanism aims at nothing short of an Italian ascendancy in this country." THE DOON EVICTIONS. The Tipperary Examiner understands that it is in contemplation to hold the meeting to protest against the extermination of Lord Derby's tenants in Doon, either in the city or in the immediate vici nity of the city of Limerick, the portion of the Derby estates about to be cleared being situate in the county of Limerick. The requisition will pro bably be addressed either to the High Sheriff of the county or to the mayor of the city, ff7e-A / A 7 vszrk NV 4 4l4 the power to lasuit 4414 obslftve' tikit jority of their fellow•eitizens. : 441 "Nor is it the example ,l alone of Sarcluualliat-ri calculated to 'make the Pope hesitate attnrf:tiat to the counsels of treaehermis Mends. rit""ca , 11 4 S forget the scenes that' were 'enacted in his , State in 1848. Under the Government then established in accordance with the NLzzinian views of the Evan gelical propaganda, everything was confusion and anarchy —property was widely confiscated, assassi nation was encouraged, and a reign of terror pre vailed. AMOng other misdeeds, I recollect that an Irish ecclesi astic , Rev.Mr,Kelcher,was barbarously murdered at noonday, in Ancona, merely because he was a pritst, and known tl be attached to the Pope's ajltho_Lity, _ At— present, under the newly proclaimed Liberal :Government in /Emilia exp sa ee r t: i d_ neither life nor property is r es p ected. With such results before his eyes it is scarc e ly to be that the Pope s h o uld consent to a pply t h e nian system of government to his States ; and we are persuaded that," he would rather encounter the indignation of - L - ord - Shaftesbury and his evangeli cal friends than sanction reforms whose only merit consists in plundering and oppressing the'Catholic Church, and in persecuting even to death her de voted children. "Another ground of complaint which is con tinually repeated is that the people of the Pope's States are dissatisfied, that foreign troops are em ployed to keep them 'in obedience, and that misery, poverty, and crime abound' in them. In answering this objection it is necessary to recollect that no human institution is free from defects, and that no Government can tender-all:its :Rejects rich, happy, and contented. Political economists and enthusi astic statesmen - sometimes 'prernM - 6 - to bring back the golden age, and to banish misery from this world ; but their schemes 'are mere delusions. This earth is only apiece of' exile and lialiishment, where man's lot is to suffer and to earn his bread with the sweat of his brow. There will be always poverty in this world, and we are to recollect that it is not a crime to be poor, for our Redeemer himself, and the blessed Virgin and th e Ap os tl es were poor; and our Lord has said Blessed are the poor.' Crimes will always disgrace this earth, for the children of Adam, tainted by original sin, are prone to evil and disohedie nce . H ence, even in the great est and best gOverned. states, there were4estless spirits seeking for changes, which freenenify_ only aggravated their miseries ; and mutinies, and sedi tions, and rebellions spring up from time to time. Even the British empire is not exempt from such evils, and very, lately it has been, consider e d expe dient to repress them in India by fire and sword, by destroying and pillaging great cities, and-even by blowing unfortunate soldiers to pieces from the . mouth of the cannon. " The Pope has never found it necessary to have recourse to such. violent measures, and his paternal heart never would sanction them. But if great and powerful States cannot always satisfy all their sub jects, is it just to pretend that the sovereign of a small territory, and comparatively weak should succeed in so arduous an undertaking ? Undoubtedly there are poor in the Pope's States, but there is none of that squalid and degrading poverty which you see in London and the great cities of England ; and we never heard of millions of his subjects dying of famine, or having been turned out by exterminat ing agents to perish. of= want -on the high -roads. There are crimes, of course, in the Pope's States, but yet you do not hear of continual child murdering, nor of systematic poisoning, nor do you witness that degrading and scandalous exhibition of immorality which renders it impossible for a stranger to pass through many British, cities without being shocked and horrified. Unhappily, too, there is somcediscon tent in a part of the Papal territory, but itis not general, and does not. extend to any considerable portion of the inhabitants ; and what is more, it owes its origin to foreign influence, and to the in trigues and emissaries of secret and bible societies, and frequently to English money. The leaders of the party opposed to the Pope in 1848, Garibaldi and Mazzini, were strangers; the troops that fought in favour of rebellion were generally .Lombards, Swiss, Poles, and exiles from every part of Europe. There were scarce l y any Romans killed during the siege of Rome, which shows that they were not very anxious for the success of the revolution. Lord Shaftesbury and his friends are scandalised at the prevailing discontent. But mark their hypo crisy. The money about to be collected by that lord's proposed committee will, without doubt, be employed to excite and spread disaffection to a greater extent; thus bringing about the state of things of which they complain. " Now, while the Pope is assailed by evangelical committees and statesmen, by biblical emissaries and foreign money, why should he not call on strangers 'to aid in preserving his authority ? Every prince has a full right to do so, and the Pope more than any other; for in reality those who are called on to assist him cannot be- considered strangers, as all Catholics are his children and spiritual subjects, and all feel it a right and a duty to contribute to the defence of him who is con tinually watching over the interests of their souls. Besides, the connexion of the Pope with Catholic countries is so intimate that he may always be cer tain that some noble-minded and religious prince, imitating the glorious example of Pepin and Char lemagne, of Otho and Matilda, will be found ready to give assistance to him as the vicar of Christ, and to preserve his rights. This has frequently hap pened in past ages—it has happened even in our own days ; and hence the Pope does not consider it is desirable to maintain a large army, or to introduce military conscription into his States, especially as his character of common father of all the faithful obliges him to cultivate peace with all his children, and to maintain amicable relations with the whole world." THE WESTMINSTER BELL. We (Times) have received another abusive letter on the Westminster Bell from Mr. E. B. Denison, which we do not mean to publish. When Mr. Denison wishes to make a plain and reasonable statement on this subject our columns shall be open to him as they have often been before ; but so long as he continues in his present frame of mind, pouring out peals of jarring abuse, not only against our selves, but against everyone else who dares to say a word on the subject which does not chime with his fancy, we must consider him somewhat in the position of his own bell—as something to be taken down—to be lowered from that position as speedily and as silently as possible. We are indeed quite at a loss to imagine what there can now be left for Mr. Denison to do in this line. The clock is finished at last and going. The bell, and not one bell, but two, which he designed and certified to, are gone —wretched failures—cracked brass and nothing more. The last of these was, according to Mr. Denison's theory, imperfect and a fraud when he certified to it. Why, then, did he pass it ? Where was his judgment ? According to another supposi tion, it was not imperfect at first, but cracked afterwards, either from the way it was struck or the way it was hung, for both of which operations Mr. Denison was responsible. Not as a designer, then, nor as a judge, nor as a bellhanger, do we think that he has shown such skill as to render it a matter of public interest that he should design, certify to, or hang a third bell. We think, in short, that in these branches of art his occupation is gone. We wish him every saccess in any other career, but we do not wish him to have anything to do with a third bell, and we shall be much mistaken if the public in general, and Mr. Fitzroy in particular, are not of our opinion. THE JESSOP MURDER.—A man named Cregh has been arrested near Clare, in King's County, on the charge of being implicated in the agrarian murder of Thos. Jessop. A man called Mahon has also been lodged in gaol. Both were seized in bed, and on the bolster being raised a pair of pistols, capped and loaded, a bullet-mould, and pow der and shot, were discovered. The prisoners were evi dently prepared for resistant, but the police proceeded so cautiously that a scuffle did not take place.
