It has 'been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he •had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." lie tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. Ile then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and •in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises _ solely from its own intrinsic • merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. FIFTH DIVISION OF PROFITS.' NORTH BRITISH INSURANCE COMPANY.

'The annual meeting of the Oxfordshire and Ban bury Agricultural Association was celebrated this day at Banbury. In the afternoon a dinner was held in the Town•hall. Col. North, M.P., presided, and was supported by the Right Hon. J. W. Hen ley, M.P., Lord Leigh, Mr. J. H. Langston, M.P., the Hon. W. Fiennes, Col. Cartwright, M.P., Mr. J. J. Henley, the Mayor of Banbury, and a large number of the gentry and farmers of the district. The usual loyal toasts having been given, Mr. CARTWRIGHT proposed " The Health of the Members for the comities of Oxford, South Northamp tonshire, and South Warwickshire." He trusted that the right hon. gentleman who had honoured them with his presence that day, notwithstanding that politics were rigidly excluded at the meeting, would be enabled to favour them, at any rate, with his experience at Cherb ourg an d hi s opinion of the character and importance of the works there. Since the last meeting of the society the right hon. gen tleman had been appointed President of the Board of Trade, and he (Mr. Cartwright) was satisfied the country generally would feel that he was the right man in the right place. (Cheers.) The toast having been drunk with loud cheers, Mr. HENLEY, M.P., rose to respond. After thank ing the meeting for the cordiality with which they had received the toast he proceeded, to say— My hon. colleague in the chair has warned us to be short in what we have to say. I hope I am not in. `fEc habit of - trespassing very long upon your pa tience on these occasions, and I can assure you that I shall not occupy any considerable portion of your time now, for I know you have a good rule in con nection with this society, which requires that we should not trespass upon what arc called political subjects, viz., those subjects on which differences of opinion are likely to arise. At the same time there are some subjects on which no difference of opinion can arise, and which I may be excused for alluding to for a moment, whether they be of a domestic or a general political character. (Cheers.) I think, in the first place, that I may congratulate the country on its general state of prosperity. (Cheers.) Upon former occasions, when I have had the honour of addressing you here, I have said that we were un fortunately placed in the position. of having empty workhouses and full gaols. lam glad, however, to be enabled to say to-day that we have both empty workhouses and empty gaols. (Cheers.) I was glad to find, on returning home last week, that the whole number then in the gaol was 82 or 83, which is much lower than for many years. (Cheers.) Such a circumstance must afford matter for sincere congra tulation to all of us, for we all know that crime is generally produced 'by the pressure of the times ; and the absence of crime leads us to the conclusion that our humble brethren arc well employed, and have the means of comfortable subsistence. (Cheers.) There are many - subjects of public interest upon which we can also mutually congratulate ourselves. Our prospects in India, where there is scarcely a man among us who has not some relative or friend about whom he is anxious, are much more cheering than they were when we met on a similar occasion 12 months ago. Our women have, at least, been all removed to a place of safety, and, so far as I can judge from the accounts which we receive from the disturbed districts in that distant coun try, there is every reason to believe that things are growing daily better and that the trouble is fast subsiding. (Hear.) It is also a matter of eon giatulation to us that the war with China, how ever it may have been begun, has terminated. A war with 300,000,000 people at that vast distance must always have necessitated the maintenance of a large naval force at a considerable distance from this country. Ido not intend to say a word about Cherbourg, notwithstanding the appeal of my hon. friend, Mr. Cartwright, for the simple reason that I was not there ; but with every disposition to be lieve in the good intentions of our neighbours and the good feeling which it is the mutual interest of both countries to maintain towards each other, I honestly confess that I think it is a great relief to every Englishman to find that about a fourth part of the naval forces of the country, which has hitherto been occupied some 15,000 or 16,000 miles away, will, in consequence of the treaty with China, be enabled to return, and, at all events, if not altogether discharged, be engaged in cruising isearer home, ready for any emergency. (Hear.) The entering into a war with 300,000;000 people at such a distance was a serious responsibility, and no human being could have foreseen when such a war would be terminated. Fortunately we have now reason to believe that it is ended, and that circumstance alone is a matter of mutual congratu lation for all of us. (Cheers.) Perhaps it would not be becoming in me, in the office which I have now the honour to fill as a servant of the Crown, to touch upon any general polities, nor would it be in accordance with the rules of this society. Never theless, there are some questions upon which we don't disagree, on which I may possibly be excused if I say a few words. At many of the meetings which have lately taken place in various parts of the country there has been a considerable quantity of loose talk by- what I mi g ht a l mos t t erm l oose fish—(laughter)—in reference to the Government. Persons who are now occupying similar positions to that which. I have the honour to fill, have been subjected to somewhat coarse remarks. Some have abused us for being Conservatives, and others have abused us because they say we are Liberals. (Laughter.) Now, lam old enough to remember when the name " Conservative" first came up, for unfortunately I am not a young man. I believe, however, that three points which were then raised, and the defenders of which were called Conserva tives, are now scarcely known. At any rate they have long ceased to be attacked. Those three points were, first, an indiscriminate attack upon the Irish church ; secondly, a demand for church property to be put into secular pockets ; and, thirdly, the independence of the House of Lords. Those were the three points on which the Conservatives stood. Two of them were attacked furiously for many years, but now all of them have died away. I cer tainly don't see why we should be abused for being Conservatives and for not going whooping and hallooing about these matters when nobody makes any attack upon them. I do not think we have any right to be abused because we have stood still solely because those parties who were opposed to us have given up attacking the questions which originally constituted Conservatism. If similar questions should ever be raised again I do not think that the Conservative party will be found wanting in their defence. (Cheers.) With regard to the future, I am sorry that I cannot pretend to say anything at all. You know very well that the Go vernment are in this position. The parties who made the Reform Bill have chosen for the last six or seven years to find fault with their own work. (Hear, hear.) Mind you, it was no work of the Conservatives. (Laughter and cheers.) It was no child of ours, and, therefore, we have nothing to sgy to it ; but the parties who constructed it have been themselves the very men who have amused them selves for the last six or seven years in singing out all over the country that it must be altered. (Hear, hear.) In fact, they have dirtied their own nest to such a degree that they have felt most uncomfort able in it. (Laughter.) They have never attempted to mend it themselves, nevertheless they still say that it wants mending. The cry has now gone on for some years. As I said before, the Reform Bill was no child of ours ; but, at the same time, if there is any possibility of our mending it so as to satisfy all parties, I see no reason why we should not make the attempt. (Hear, hear.) I hope I have not trespassed on the rules of the society in what I think, as a have said. (Cheers.) I don ' t public man, appearing before many of my constituents, that it would have been fair for me to Say less. I can only say that so long as I have the honour of being in a position to serve the county I shall be most happy to do all in my power to promote your interests, and to do my duty according to the best light that God gives me. Hitherto I have always experienced a kind reception from all my friends in this county and neighbourhood, and I have no doubt that so long as I hold the same course and " keep the dish even" I shall be similarly received. The right hon. gentleman resumed his seat amid loud cheers. a Colonel NORTH, M.P.,nd Col. C ARTWRIGHT , M.P., also responded. Mr. B. BROWN proposed the health of the mem bers for the city of Oxford and the borough of y. Mr. LANGSTON ' M.P., responded. -H e sa id hi s right hon. friend Mr. Henley had told them in re ference to the Reform Bill that. the Whigs had so dirtied their nest that they found it impossible to remain in it, and that the hon. gentlemen who had succeeded them in the possession of the nest were also so dissatisfied with it that they were deter mined at length to make an alteration. He was extremely happy to hear that a Conservative Go vernment were really disposed to try their hands in giving the country a better Reform Bill than that which had been passed under the auspices of the Whigs. Being a sincere Reformer at heart, he was most anxious to see reform carried out to the 'fullest poOible extent_so_lon - g as it* fully TAMWOItTH, TUESDAY. The anniversary meeting of the Sparkenhoe Farmers' Club was held to-day in this town, and was largely attended by the neighbouring gentry and farmers. The annual dinner took place in a large marquee erected in the field in which the show was held, and in which about 1,100 ladies and gentlemen sat down to an excellent cold collation, under the pre sidency of Mr. Spooner, M.P., who was supported by his hon. colleague in the representation of War wickshire (Mr. Newdegate). After the removal of the cloth, The PRESIDENT proceeded to give the usual loyal and patriotic toast. In giving The Health of the Queen" he observed that he had heard with regret that in another part of the kingdom the name •of the Queen had either been altogether omitted or had been made secondary to a toast which in this country was one of the most objec tionable that could be proposed. 'Whatever might be the case in Ireland, he trusted, and indeed he believed, such a thing could never take place in this country. (Hear, hear.) It was an insult which might in the course of time be forgotten, but it was one that by an assembly of loyal English farmers could never be forgiven. (Cheers.) Such a Sovereign as we now had was an honour to the age, and to substitute for her venerated name that of the Pope was a direct insult to the Protes tantism and loyalty of the country---(cheers)—such an insult as would not readily be erased from the minds of her more loyal subjects. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Health of the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," and in doing so expressed the great pleasure he felt in witness ing the interest which the clergy now took in those aagriculturalrc o d f eri derived from the great gatherings, r o n h t e h n n e cfi being,ot s s t ias which s lt he ehe was, laouring quite classes va tereour se they had with the clergy. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. Mr. MOULD, vicar of Tamworth, in re sponding, said that he was at all times rejoiced to be present at a meeting of this description, know ing, as he did, the great advantages such associa tions had conferred upon the labouring classes. They lived at a time when enormous progress was made in every branch of the arts and sciences. They could not be insensible of the fact that the science of agriculture participated in that progress ' and was advancing with rapid steps ; and the cul tivators of the soil had that day given tangible proofs of what they could do to promote the na tional interests, as well as those of their own class. They knew how much could be done in dealing with the land. The old adage used to run— This is a beautiful world to live in,. To lend, and to spend, and to give in ; But to beg or to borrow, or seek for one's own, It's the very worst world that ever was known. Now, the land that they cultivated was of just the opposite character, and farmers had discovered that the more they lend to the land the more it returns to them, so that the interest of the cultivator went hand in hand with the interest of the landowner and the great national interest. By the means which had been taken to draw out and develop the in tellects of the husbandman, the farmers of England were now enabled to do work which never could have been effected while the minds of the peasantry were in their former ignorant condition. They saw what great good these societies were doing in all parts of the country by teaching the working classes and training them to skilled labour, thereby pro moting their own happiness and ,that of everybody around them. (Hear.) He trusted that he should always see the clergy working hand in hand with the society, and that the Tamworth Agricultural Association might continue to enjoy the esteem of allconnected with it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. NEWDEGATE, on 'rising to propose the next toast, was received with loud cheers from all parts of the room. The hon. gentleman said—Sir, permit me, in the first place, standin' here at Tamworth, to convey to you the deep satisfaction with which I view this assemblage—on a site where the shadows of past differences have been lengthened far beyond the measure of their appropriate day ; and let me congratulate you ladies, that you are here, as you ever are, the harbinger of peace. (Cheers.) I would that I could speak to the whole town of Tamworth to tell them how glad I am to see that those of their neighbours who are engaged in cultivating the soil have again come to hold out to the sons of commerce the hand of friendship. No time could be more appropriate for this meeting than the present. It has pleased Providence to grant to the agriculturists of this country, notwith standing the present somewhat inconvenient drought, a yield in the cereal crops which bids fair to remunerate them for the skill and enterprise they have displayed in the cultivation of their farms. (Cheers.) But there is an old adage, and that is that farmers are never happy unless they have got something to grumble at. The real an swer to that is, that they can afford to grumble where commerce finds it more prudent to hold her tongue. (Laughter.) But, even if commerce were not so prosperous as it was, still I think it well that they should come here and tender the hand of friendship with their best wishes that the co-ope ration of agriculture may tend to support coin• merce, and that unity of interest, which is the strength of every nation, may again prevail and be exemplified in the union between Tamworth and its neighbours. The particular toast which I have to propose to you on the present occasion is " The House of Lords." (Cheers.) In other coun tries you may find representative assemblies elected more or less according to the will of the people. In other nations you will find Sovereigns with power more or less absolute or more or less con trolled, but in England alone you will find a balance of power, which is established by the exist ence of three co-ordinate estates, that of the Sove reign, the House of Lords, and the House of Com mons. The House of Lords is appointed arbiter between the will of the people and the discretion' of the Sovereign. Often has that house interposed its independence, which is its most glorious cha racteristic, to stay the arbitrary invasion of the Crown, or check the wanton impulses of the people. (Cheers.) Depend upon it that the debt which England owes to its House of Lords ie far greater than those who think lightly of our interests can estimate it at. I believe that the House of Lords is independent because it is hereditary, and it is that, therefore, which gives it its true value. The ladies must ever feel deeply interested in everything that is hereditary—those ladies who may be the wives and mothers of peers hereafter have a deep responsibi lity cast upon them, for they have the first mould ing of the minds of our future hereditary legislators —and the history of the House of Lords proves that the peeresses of the kingdom are entitled to no small praise for the care which they have taken of the education of our youthful nobility. I beg to propose " The Health of the House of Lords," lamenting that we should have been deprived of the presence of the distinguished members who have been prevented attending by illness, but I ask you to drink this toast, because the House of Lords is a great ChrAtian institution in England, and the cm, bodiment of the independence of the country against arbitary power. (Hear.) Long do I hope it will continue to be so, and long do I hope that England will continue to be the sanctuary of freedom and the glory of the world. (Cheers.) Mr. WEBSTER proposed " The House of Com mons," which was drunk with cheers. This asso ciation, with others of the like nature, eschewed party politics, but it was somewhat difficult to steer body composed of politic in proposing t he health of a composed of all shades of polit ics and all parties. He must say that he gave great credit to the House of Commons as a whole' for the spirited manner in which they conducted the business of the country, and the country was bound to return them its thanks for the valuable services they had performed The House of Commons had lately made an expedi tion to visit the• Emperor of the French. They had seen a great deal of what had Lc,: e, ,, , bourg, and the country had a right to know what the impressions were which those fortifications had made upon the minds of hon. members. Many of them had expressed their opinion upon the subject. They might be meant for peace, but they looked much. more likely for war. They would remem ber that war could not be carried on without the sinews, and he thought the visit of the' House of Commons to Cherbourg would be very likely to be a means of obtaining those sinews. (Hear.) When the estimates came before them next session he thought there would be very little cavilling at `granting the necessary yotes for our coast defences. (Hear, hear, from Mr. Spooner, and cheers.) If the national defences were properly attended to he thought the visit of the House of Commons to Cher bourg would not be without its use. Let us keep up our defences, and it was a matter of indifference whether Cherbourg meant peace or war, because he was convinced that the best way to maintain peace was to be in a state of constant preparation for war. Mr. FOLEY, M.P. for South Stalfordshire, in re sponding to the toast,said—This not beino• apolitical meeting he could not allude to the overthrow of a Government stronger than any . government we had seen for many years. With respect to the late visit of the House of Commons to Cherbourg, he thought many of the observations recently made by members of Parliament extremely injudicious and mischievous. Whether Cherbourg were a menace or not it was now an accomplished fact, and must be treated by us in a business-like manner. He ex pected that John Bull would be called upon to dip his hands deeply into his pockets. Some provision must be made for the defence of the country, and he had sufficient confidence in the House of Commons, as the representative of a brave and free people, to believe that they would vote any sum that was re lured either to keep up a Channel fleet or put our coast defences into such a position that they might at any time be able to resist a foreign enemy. The principle of liberty was too deeply rooted in the hearts and minds of English people to be easily ex tirpated, and he was quite certain that if any such attempt were made as that which had b e en hinted at, the whole people of England would rise as one man to defend national honour. (Cheers.) Mr. TTAT:Iri rr”:OO,CCI the health of Mr. Spooner, observing that they all admired pluck, and few would admit that Mr. Spooner had not got plenty, of it. •He had represented Warwickshire now for many years, and had always maintained the cha racter of a thoroughly honest man. (Cheers.) Mr. SPOONER, in returning thanks, said that he hoped he should keep his character for honesty to the end of his days. He had always looked upon the agricultural interest as one of the most important in the country, and it was therefore with the deepest interest that he had watched the enormous strides the science of agriculture had made of late years, for he said, without any fear whatever, that upon the improvement and success of agriculture depended in a great measure the success, the pro sperity, and the happiness of the empire of Great Bjtain itself. (Cheers.) Mr. NEWDEGATE then addressed the company at some length, in proposing the toast of " The Agri cultural Labourers," and the meeting separated. SELF-DEFENCE OF BRITISH COLONIES. The following is a copy of a despatch from the Right Hon. Sir E. B. Lytton to the Governor- General of the Leeward Islands : "Downing-street, July 31. " Sir,---I have replied generally in another de spatch to the explanations with which you have favoured me on the Antigua riots ; but I am anxi ous to draw your attention to one consideration in particular arising out of these disturbances. I desire to impress upon you, and through you upon the colony which y ou govern, the extreme importance of raising and maintaining from local resources, and by local efforts, such a military force as will by its presence guarantee the safety, dignity, and in ternal peace of the country. "On a reference to the records of past years, I have observed that' in many of the West Indian colonies local corps were established, and, as I be lieve, efficiently kept up. It is with a feeling of mortification that I perceive that these wise pre cautions have been laid aside under the impression of a false economy. " It is the natural wish of her Majesty's Govern ment to contribute to the safety and protection of the distant dependencies of the British Crown, but the necessities of the empire have withdrawn many troops, and may . compel the withdrawal of more. In a critical period of our history, these necessities at home, and a strain upon our resources, both in men and means, have called forth the-generous and loyal sympathies of her Majesty's subjects in many parts of her colonial empire. But it is not alone by the material addition of a new regiment to the line, or by munificent contributions in aid of those who have experienced the sufferings and losses of a bar barous warfare, or ISY the expression of loyalty and devotion, that the English colonies can give the mother country an effective support in itcasons of trial and difficulty. " It is by evoking the means of self-defence and in ternal protection, by enabling this country to avail herself to the utmost of her own military resources, and by dispensing with the troops which, so long as could be spared, have been freely given, that the West Indian colonies will best mark the spirit which, I am persuaded, animates them. " It is a sacrifice which the mother country has a right to claim, and which the colony ought to be the first to approve. It was, therefore, with grati fication that I have observed during the recent riots the readiness with which so many gentlemen have hastened to enrol themselves on the side of order, and to place their services at the disposal of the Governor. It is with still greater satisfaction that I have learnt the intention to form volunteer corps, alike to secure the colony from aggression from abroad and to maintain peace at home. " The more fully that this self-reliant feeling is confirmed and that these precautions are adopted the less will be the probability of the danger, and the more the discipline and the efficiency that can be communicated to the new force, the less will be the expense and the difficulty in preserving a high standard hereafter. " There can be no safety to life or security to property, and to the transactions of commiarcc in that community which does not earnestly and reso lutely seek to develop within itself the requisite force to vindicate the dignity of its own laws against the outbreaks of internal disorder. " I watch with interest the progress which the colony under your government is making in this important and salutary direction, and her Majesty looks with confidence to the loyalty and good feel ing of the inhabitants of her West Indian colonies in rendering their utmost support to the authori ties in this somewhat difficult, but . necessary and laudable undertakin g. " You will take an early opportunity of making these sentiments known to the Legislature of An tigua.—l have, &c., "E. B. LYTTON. " To Governor Hamilton, &c." THE PUBLIC HEALTH. it. 6;) (From the Registrar-Gcnerars Return, Sept. In the week that ended on Saturday, Sept. 11, the number of deaths registered in London was 1,060, of which 521 were the deaths of males, 539 those of females. In the ten years 1848-57 the average number of deaths in the weeks correspond ing with last week was 1,457 ; but as the deaths of last week occurred in an increased population, it is necessary for the purpse of comparison to raise the average proportionally to the increase, in which case it will become 1 ; 603. The public health is, therefore, so far satisfactory that the deaths now returned were less by 543 than the number which would have occurred under the average rate of mortality ; and although the great number of deaths at two periods when cholera was epidemic must be taken into account, yet there can be no doubt that London enjoys an improved state of health at the present time. But if the deaths of last week had been according to the rate which exists in the healthiest districts of England, they w ould onl y hav e been 799 , hence it appears that 261 persons died from circumstances that constitute the comparative insalubrity of the metropolis. The births of last week were in excess of the deaths in the same • a period by 477 . _ The mortality from &arr ./ hemis rapidly subsi ding ; in the two previous weeks the deaths from it were 146 and 120 ; last week they were only 69. Scarlatina, on the contrary, shows a slight increase, 115 fatal cases having been registered; amongst others three children daughters of a dyer residing at 46, Plower-street, 'S p it a lfields, died of this dis ease. Whooping-cough carried off 29 children, and measles, 21. Three deaths occurred from small pox. Four persons died from cholera, including three children, and a blacksmith aged 27 years, who died in Charing-cross Hospital after 36 Lor r:' i 7 1.: a ths from plithisis (or con sumption), which in the previous week were 119, rose last week to 162, the average being 139. A little boy died, after an illness of three hours, from eating bitter almonds ; and a labourer, aged 36 years, died in St. Bartholomew's Hospital from pymmia. Three persons died last week at the following advanced ages-91, 92, and 93 years. Last week the births of' 777 boys and 760 girls, in all 1,537 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1848 ' 57, the average number, corrected for increase of popu lation, was 1,668. = At .the Royal Oligertatory, Greenwich, the wean A singular adventure befel an illustrious member of the P a p a l C ourt during the recent high ecclesias tical dem onstration at Ballinasloe. The distinguished individual being introduced to a convent in that town, promis e d t o call upon the sisters on the fol lowing morning, and give them an early mass, be fore his departure for train by Dublin. But they are earlier birds, it seems, in Italy than on the west of the Shannon, f or w h en the Monsignor presented himself at 5 o'clo c k a . m . b efore the door, wrapped in a mantle, such as Jes u it s wear, which covered both his quality and purpose from the external world, the whole town was lo c k e d i n t h e arms of , Mor pheus. In vain did he knock and pull at the bell. The ladies were not yet out of th e i r fi rst sleep; and . an old woman, who thrust one of her eyes out of the attic casement, shut it down again with a bang, having first threatened to call " the poalus." Nor was her denunciation without its effect. A guardian of the night, baton in hand, came upon the dis turber, and 'roughly demanded, " What are yc doing there ?" " As you see," replied his reverence, " I knock and ring ;" and suiting the act - on to the word, he took another strong pull at the knob, and performed a loud sassaraa with the knocker. "Oh come, my good fellow," said Dcgberry, " this is too much of a good thing ; go home to your mire and tell her to take care of you." " lam wecided here," said the Monsignor with dignity, laying his open palm carelessly upon the sill—." wedded to this in stitution, and have no other wife in the world ;" and again goes the knocker, rat-tat-tat tatterarara rarara ra'! "Is it married you say you are ? and to the blessed ladies in this house ?" cries the en. raged preserver of the peace, " You b —y Souper ; I'll tache you to keep a civil tongue in your head, I will." And thereupon he seized a fell grip of Monsignor's collar, and drove him on before. him, gasping, foaming, sputtering, and recalcitrating even to the door of the station-house, into which he pushed him with such a will that it was a mercy his reverence did not tumble headlong over a wo man who was down on her knees washing the pas sage. "The cross of Christ be over us all," exclaimed the startled woman, rising from the ground, and in a moment recognising the Monsignor, whom she had seen on the previous day adumbrating the Car dinal—" What had his reverence been about? Was he larking ?" " I believe you," said the policeman, " but what are you talking about reverence ? It's a big juniper he is, and nothing else." An explana tion quickly ensued, of which the result was that the Monsignor, still "in a sult r y c h a f e ," wa lk e d forth disenthralled, emancipated, and free, leaving the penitent strectkeeper on his marrowbones. By the time he came back to the nunnery- all the sis ters were astir in their best bibs and tuckers, and he finished his mass without further interruption. When the dignitary returns to Rome we hope he will not fail in candour to tell his lord, the Pope, how the laws ' and the civil authorities of heretic England guard the inmates of Romish institutions, though they be contrary to law, from even the sus picion of wrong or insult in this land of " persccu tion."—Dublin Mail.
