Terms, and further particulars, may be obtained at the Hall. on charitable donations and bequests in Ireland for any Catholic purposes. Any such restrictions or limitations that now exist are the creation of the late statute. " This should be kept constantly in recollection. Before this new Act it was lawful to grant by deed, or bequeath by will, property of any amount for Catholic purposes. This power continued in each individual until as shortly before death as the rational faculties continued. In particular it was lawful to grant or be queath property— " Ist. To build and endow Catholic hospitals. " 2d. T. build and endow Catholic convents for nuns. " 3d. To build and endow Catholic schools. " 4th. To build and endow Catholic orphanages. " sth. To build and endow houses of refuge for Ca tholic males and Catholic females, paupers and pen i tents. " 6th. To build and endow Catholic churches and chapels. " 7th. To build and endow houses:for residence of the Catholic clergy. " Bth. To endow with glebes Catholic archbishops, bishops, and priests, and to grant or bequeath to them lands or money to any amount of value. " 9th. To create funds for maintaining the sacrifice of the mass, or other stated or specified prayers for any number of persons, or for any length of years, for the benefit of the living or the dead. " 10th. To endow Catholic sodalities, or guilds, for teaching the Catholic Catechism, or Catholic prayers; or for instructing in the proofs of the Catholic religion. ' " 11th. In short, it was lawful for Catholics by deed, or by will, to convey property for every imaginable charitable purpose, although exclusively limited for the use of Catholics. " Nor were these charities the less valid, although Protestants might be permitted by express words, or by implication, to share in the benefits of the charitable purposes. " Thus, in fine, before the passing of the recent. sta tute, it was competent, in point of law, to endow all manner of Catholic charities and religious purposes, with one exception." What room was there, then, for additional advantages? None but what my Bill would have supplied. Such was the opinion whieh I gave and published in the month of August last. The exception alluded to was that relative to the regular clergy, of whom more hereafter. Such was my opinion. It emphatically asserted that all Catholic charities of every kind were, before the Be quests Act, perfectly secure. All—all—the regular clergy excepted.. Such was my opinion —published in all the newspa pers ; contradicted by nobody. The Crown lawy ers have not cont ra di c t e d this opinion in any way directly or indirectly. The authorities of the Castle so com pletely acquiesced in my opinion that no query on these points was put to the Crown lawyers. I have my judg ment corroborated by the acquiescence of the Castle and of the Crown lawyers. • But what is better still, every point to which I alluded in that opinion has been confirmed by solemn judicial determination. I allude in particular to the cases of "The Dempsey Charity," " The Hevey Charity," " The Kearns Charity," and particularly " The L'Arcy Charity." I have brought the papers with me here in the D'Arcy charity. The other cases were decided by Lord Man ners, Lord Plunket, and the present Master of the Rolls. The D'Arcy Charity was established by the decree of a greater lawyer than any of the three—the present Chan cellor Sugden. All apprehensions, such as those that might have been entertained in 1840, were thus termi nated. There existed no longer, and there does not exist, any question on Catholic charities. Even an an nuity granted in perpetuity for celebrating mass for the soul of the testator has seen decreed to be a valid cha rity. How much do I respectfully wish that his Grace Doctor Murray would have condescended to have looked at this state of the law before he persuaded himself that the Bequests Act had conferred any advantages on Ca tholic charities. It had not room or space to do good. It is admitted by his Grace to do mischief. Such haring been, I will say, unquestionably and un doubtedly, the state of the law respecting Catholic cha rities before the Bequests Act, I proceed to consider whether. there has been any alteration for the better, either in substance, or in machinery, by that Act. In substance it is clear there could be none. Let us see if there be any in the machinery. This is the second point, as relating to any ameliora tion by the Bequests Act. To discuss this point the most respectful way is to use the very words of his Grace in page 21 of the pastoral, where he purports to show forth the advantages derivable from the Bequests Act.

O'CONNELL'S LETTER ON THE CHARI TABLE BEQUESTS ACT. DUBLIN, JAN. 9.—The Pilot, of to-morrow evening, will contain the promised letter of Mr. O'Connell, ad dressed to the Right Rev. Dr. Cantwell. The following is a considerable portion of the letter:— Derrynane Abbey, Feast of the Epiphany of our Lord, 1845. MY REVERED LORD,—It was my intention to have confined this letter to an exposure of the truly shuffling opinion about, rather than upon, the Bequests Act, pub lished with the names of Messrs. Smith and Greene, by apparently Catholic authority. But matter of infinitely greater importance presents itself. The plan of the English Government to undermine the Catholic Church in Ireland is daily developed more and more. The fatal facility with which some of our exemplary prelates, with pious intentions and pure designs, fall into ono snare after another, encourages the ancient enemies of our faith and fidelity to augment their exertions, and to mature their plans, until they render them, as they conceive and hope, irresistible. Through your Lordship I address the people of Ire land, and I sadly but most solemnly assure them that we are arrived at a conjuncture which involves the civil as well as the religious liberties of the Irish nation in the greatest and most imminent peril. I am able to state as certain facts that the English Government have had for some time past active agents at the Court of Rome. The on* a Mr. William Petre, an English Catholic—for no treachery to the Irish would be complete without the intervention of an English Catholic ; the other an Austrian, nominated by the Austrian Government. The design and object are to obtain for the British Minister control over the Catholic hierarchy of Ireland. The modes of obtaining that control are two-fold • the fir s t, b y ma ki ng a State provision for the Irish Catholic clergy ; the second, by a concordat with the Pope, giving a power either direct and affirmative, or indirect and by negation, to the British Crown to nomi nate to the Catholic prelacy all over Ireland. The English Catholic agent, Mr. William Petre, has succeeded in convincing the Pope's Ministers, that he is authorised to pledge the British Government to give great countenance and liberal pecuniary assistance to the Catholics in the British colonies and foreign possessions. This bait has taken, and has produced a letter from the Propaganda to the Most Reverend Dr. Crolly unfavourable to the repeal agitation. It is said there was some dexterity in pro • curing this letter. It has, however, been some time in the hands of his Grace ; but it is not a canonical docu ment ; and, at all events, as far as it may treat of mat ters of a temporal nature, or matters relating to the poli tical rights and liberties of the Irish people, it is plainly void and of no effect. But the great strength of the English envoy consists in the support and assistance of the Austrian agent. The tendency in various parts of Italy, including the Papal States, to insurrectionary movements amongst • the Italians, causes the great military force kept by Austria in Italy to be considered as essentially necessary for the preservation of peace and order from revolutionary violence. The leaden despotism of the Austrian Govern ment over the Catholic religion and the Catholic clergy in its subject States renders that Government justly odious and detested at Rome. But its influence and power over the Roman Court are not one whit the less. Its power is feared more than it is hated—the hatred being mitigated by the supposed necessity for the use of that power ; and thus the influence of the British agent, augmented by the Austrian, is almost irresistible with the politicians of the Roman Court. I have, my revered Lord, most unquestionable autho rity for the statement I this make. I have it from a person who is utterly incapable of deceiving, and being at Rome in a situation in which he himself cannot be deceived. I have full permission to give the facts to the public, though I have not that of publishing his name. I am, however, at liberty to mention his name in any way consistent with its not appearing in the public news. papers - and I accordin g ly t ransm i t i t to your Lordship , m a private letter. It is most melancholy and highly deplorable that at such a moment, and with so powerful a conspiracy on foot against the Irish Catholic Church, there should be c q l u e e r s e t s s , , Act.aci laity s o e f e m I Ire e l a a n dm most h m e v s p u o b r j t e u c n t e o fp period so animated a di ssens i on amongst the Catholic prelates, i e od ne tt; come out with such a resolution as that in the appendix to the pastoral of his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin— a resolution which, instead of being framed to subdue dissension, and create unanimity, appears in fact and truth to be a mere license to dispute. Under existing circumstances I humbly consider it to be the duty of all sincere Catholics to combine in order to prevent further mischief. I was in hopes, when the pastoral of the venerable Archbishop of Dublin was announced, that it would contain materials for a general peace and concord ; pre disposed, as we all should be, to listen to his Grace with the greatest deference and all proper submission. I did hope that a pastoral issuing from so masters. mind, and such venerated authority, would contain such arguments in favour of the lime of conduct he has conscientiously adopted as should silence all cavil, and satisfy evefy scruple.

Western Company through Lambeth to the Belvidere.road, appears to this meeting calculated to produce the most beneficial results to the interests of the district intended to be intersected, clearing away, as is suggested, a large portion of the worst.built and least valuable of the house property in the borough without interference with any buildings of importance, and tending to great improvement in the character of the erections that are likely to be substituted In contiguity to the line, in. dependently of such as the Company must construct upon the site of the proposed station. It was also moved by THOMAS LErr, Esq., seconded by FaaNcts FELroa, Esq., and Resolved unanimously, —That the following gentlemen, via., John Ballard Byron, Esq., William Hawes, Esq., Harris, Esq., John Suir, Esq., William Cory, Esq., Thomas Grissell, Esq., Francis Feltoe, Esq., and Joseph Elliott, Esq., be appointed to act as a Committee for the purpose of ascertaining the opinions of the several owners and occupiers of property to be affected by the proposed extension, and generally to facilitate its attainment; and such Committee is hereby particularly empowered and requested forthwith to prepare a memorial fir signature of such owners and occupiers, and others whose interests may be concerned, and whose opinions are favourable to the undertaking, and to present such memorial to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, and also to wait upon the Members for the county of Surrey and borough of Lambeth, with the view of explaining to them the local benefit inseparable from the undertaking, and to request their most strenuous support and influence in Parliament in favour of tht same. The above-named Committee to have power to add others to their number. (Signed) JOHN BALLARD BYRON, Chairman.

Application to be made (If by letter post-paid) as above. But, alas! The tone and temper—the language and manner of the i t is not so—it is v e ry f ar f rom being so. pastoral are all exce ll ent. The pastoral is written with that subdued sweetness of disposition for which the venerated character of his Grace is so much respected. But there is nothing to conceal the mistakes in point of law into which he has been led; or the errors in point of fact, into which, with the best intentions, he has un happily fallen. I hope I use no language unbecoming that most un feigned respect which I entertain for his Grace. If one word bearing a contrary appearance falls from my pen, I retract it beforehand, and respectfully seek for pardon. In this temper and disposition, I submit the following remarks. I observe:— First.--That his Grace has, in his pastoral, repeatedly admitted that the Bequests Act is defective. lie tells us, page 6, that the Act "is imperfect." He tells us in page 7, that it is " nothing like a perfect measure." In page 21, that it has " partial blemishes." He tells us in page 20, that it contains " a NISCIIIEVOIIS clause." Again, in page 7, that it has " defects which he de plores." Secondly.—We must take the Act as it is. Imperfect, defective, and mischievous as it may be, we must take it as it is. His Grace does not tell us of any pledge or promise on the part of Government to amend the ble mishes, the imperfections, the defects, or to remedy the mischief. It would indeed have been consolatory to learn that any such pledge or promise existed. How often have we been told by the advocates of the Act that such a pledge was given ? Now, this pastoral would appear to me—l may be wrong, but it would appear to me—to be the proper place to afford us that consolation. If, therefore, the Catholic prelacy, clergy, and people of Ireland, acquiesce in this statute, they must take it with all its imperfections and defects on its bead. Thirdly.—There are other clauses in- the statute which his Grace would certainly condemn still more em phatically, if he understood their legal meaning and operation as I do, and if he had not been misled by the shuffling of the Crown lawyers. I, of course, regret that his Grace should prefer their opinions to mine ; but that preference is one that I accept with dutiful submission privi lege humility—reserving proving to his right, and that the Crown lawyers are wrong—a task, I b e li eve, not difficult to perform. Grace tomyself tet I am lna' undoubted pri vi - Fourthly.—ln page 21, his Grace is pleased to say that "confers on us ad vantagest he Ac in t o f the question, ver hyt highest e iget Bequestsorder." e A rlle then proceeds to enumerate those advantages. He says first, "It places our charities is precisely the state in which we ourselves " it gives us t an t d rouble or t a h i e sh p e o d w t e o r ha o v r e y t e h s e tio m g fu p u r r o a r ' e e r a t r y s A ag .it o h ;Z ex pense, in perpetual security for procurin g glebes for our clergy, and for building, enlarging, and upholding, or furnishing, oar places of religious worship." Now, my Lord Bishop of Meath, I turn to you, and I most respectfully assure you, that the venerable Arch bishop of Dublin labours under a total misapprehension and mistake in believing that the Bequests Act confers any advantage whatsoever on Catholic charities. No man living is more incapable, more entirely incapable, of making a wilful mis-statement than his Grace ; and it is with the most profound conviction of the perfect purity of his mind, that I dispute the existence of a fact which he deems certain. To discover whether the Bequests Act confers any ad vantages on Catholic charities, two things are necessary. 1. To ascertain what was the precise state of the law respecting Catholic charities in Ireland previous to the Bequests Act. 2. what altera tion, hTaoveascbeeretnainmwadheetbhyer respecting Catholic charities in Ireland. His Grace has been led to believe that th e l aw h as the Bequests ar'd ifaa Act t in the law been altered for the better. I have the most thorough conviction that the law has been altered for the worse. In order to test this matter, I beg leave to refer to the opinion which I gave to you, my Lord Bishop of Meath, on the 24th of August last. Your Lordship will find that I laid down the law in the following wor d s To the first question arising on the state of the law, previous to the recent statute, my answer is, that before the recent Act thfra were no restrictions or limitations CAUTION !

Owe Pemba limit only is Imesal /Y to ca lm — aPerAuusent cure It must be admitted that he does not purport to make a very powerful case for the Bill. There is rather a show of " empty boxes " than anything powerful or weighty, in the way of advantage, even upon his Grace's own showing. Anxious, as he most justly was, to place those advantages in the strongest point of view, he con fines his praises to these two sentences. Fir,t.—(These are his words : I repeat them)—" It (the Bequests Act) places our charities in precisely the same state in which we ourselves wished to have them tour years ago." Secondly.—" And it gives us the power of vesting property, without trouble or expense, in perpetual se curity—for procuring glebes for our clergy—and for building, enlarging, and upholding our places of reli gious worship." Now, if his Grace had been perfectly accurate in the advantages, in point of law, w hi c h h e t h us d escr ib es, yet I most humbly and respectfully submit that the Act would afford no great bonus—and certainly none such as to hold out any great temptation to laud the legislation it contained. It is my duty, however, to point out the inaccuracies, in matter of law, into which his Grace has been led. I take his two propositions separately and distinctly from each other. The first is in these words, respecting the Bequests Act : " It places our charities in precisely the state in which we ourselves wished to have them placed four years ago." In this respect his Grace alludes to a memorial that he sets out from page 9 to page 13 of his printed pas toral—a memorial presented by the Catholic Prelates in 1840. My answer respectfully is, that the Prelates, in 1840, asked for very little indeed, and even that little has not been obtained by the Bequests Bill. Here is the prayer of the memorial : " Your memorialists, therefore, entr'at that the Board of Irish Charities may be rendered more generally use ful and popular, by the introduction to it of Roman Ca tholic Commissioners, or by some other measure which may have a tendency to place their charities on the same footing as those of their Protestant fellow -countrymen." It is quite true that we have got the Roman Catholic Commissioners ; but those Roman Catholic Commis sioners do not place Catholic charities on the same foot ing as those of their Protestant fellow -countrymen. There is no equality among the Commissioners. There is a decided majority of Protestants. Eight Protestants and five Catholics cannot be said, with any arithmetical accuracy, to be on an equal footinv. How can it be said that the charities are on the same footing, when there is so decided a majority on the one side, and so decided a minority on the other ? If five be equal to eight, then indeed the Catholic and Protestant Commissioners are on the same footing ; otherwise, not. In plain truth, the placing some Ca tholic Commissioners on the Board, renders the Catholic interiority on the one hand, and the Protestant supre macy on the other hand, more distinct, conspicuous, and emphatic. I could say more upon this comparative estimate being deemed as if the Catholics had obtained the " same footing"—but I shudder lest I should let full one single word which might be construed into disrespect to his Grace the Arcbishop. I therefore leave many, many objections unstated. I have, however, shown that the timid memorial of 1840 asked but for little indeed, and that even such little has not been obtained by the Be quests Act. _ _ - So much fur the first advantage alleged to be obtained by that Act. I come to the second and only remaining One. Secondly.—(l repeat once more his Grace's words : "It gives us the power of vesting property without trouble or expense in perpetual security—for procuring glebes for our clergy—and for building, enlarging, and upholdirg our places of religious worship? How I rejoice in being able to bear my humble testi mony as a lawyer to the legal accuracy of the pastoral when it does state the law accurately ! The latter part of the sentence does so perfectly. It shows, however, that the Only Catholic charities which are capable, by the Bequests Act, to be vested in the. Commissioners according to the 15th section—the enabling section—are two, and no more. First.—For procuring glebes, including residences for our clergy ; and, secondly, for the building, enlarging, and maintaining our places of worship.' Now, these were all perfectly valid charities before the passing of the Bequests Act. All that Act does in this respect is to enable these two charities to be vested in the Board of Commissioners. Before ,that Act, and at present, and in all future time, totally independent of the " Bequests Act," these identical charities could and can be vested in trustees of the party'sown choosing, and that in perpetual and perfect security. All the Act does is to enable a - Catholic don; to vest such charities as the above two, but no other, in the Board of Commissioners, eight of whom out of thirteen are Protestants, instead of vesting -them in trustees all Catholics, if he likes. The Bequests Act gives him that choice. He may choose the Protestant majority Board of Commissioners if he pleases, in preference to Catholic trustees. I venture, with respect for his Grace, to think that few Catholics, if any, will be foundto make such a choice. But the pastoral tells us that the " Bequests Act" efraables Catholics to vest there two charities in the Board of Commissioners without trouble or expense in perpetual security. There is no explanation given how the" expense and trouble" are to be avoided, or how the " perpetual se. uurity" is to be achieved. Not the least. I cannot con.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED i n ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. ceive how it is to be done. It is quite true that to vest. the property in Catholic trustees there must be incurred the expense and trouble of having prepared for execu tion a deed or a will. But precisely similar trouble and expense must be incurred in preparing a deed or will to vest the property in the Commissioners. The original expense and trouble are in both cases the same. It is also quite true that, in the mode of preserving charitable donations and bequests by the intervention of trustees of one's own choice, there are, from time to time, expenses incurred in changing incompetent trustees, or in substituting a new trustee upon the death of a former trustee. These expenses, however, are much mitigated by the modern practice of substituting trustees, by petition to the Chancellor, without a plenary suit. On the other hand, it is to be observed that the Board of Commissioners is necessarily a fluctuating body ; and that any misunderstanding among them- selves can be solved only by the medium of a plenary suit ; the entire expenses of which, whether the suit be well grounded or not, must, according to the Bequests Act, come out of the charitable funds. It is, therefore, sufficiently clear that, on the grounds of saving expense. little indeed can be achieved by means of the Bequests Act. Nay, there are many contingencies by which, in acting under the Bequests Statute, the expenses may be greatly enhanced. Any difference of opinion in the Board can be solved only by a plenary suit. With that worst consequence, that in every case of a suit, whether justly instituted or not, the costs come out of a charity fund. OTHERWISE THAN AS SERVANTS.

I have thus extracted from the pastoral the only ad vantages that are stated or suggested by it to arise from the Bequests Act ; and I do respectfully submit that it is quite manifest that no solid or substantial advantage is thus stated or suggested to be derivable from that Act; at best, it really is but a mouthful of moonshine. It is said, indeed, that there is much importance in the recognition of the episcopal and archiepiscopal character of our prelates, as well as the right succession in our parish priests. But the decision in the D'Arcy charity has mitigated any notion of this recognition being valu able. In that case the Most Rev. Dr. M`Hale was ad mitted as a co-plaintiff with the Most Rev. Dr. Murray, expressly as the successor to the late Archbishop of Tuarn, the Most Rev. Dr. Kelly. This suit was com plete before the Bequest: Act came into operation. Suc cession was, therefore, recognised in principle. I have thus, in a manner which, I sincerely hope, is as perfectly resp ec tf u l as I f ervent l y w i s h it shouldbe, canvassed the defence of the Bequests Act contained in the pastoral of the Most Rev. Archbishop. The defence has singular advantages in• manner and in matter. In manner, from the serious and sweet train of piety in which it is drawn up. In matter, from the unquestion able talent and ability of the venerable writer; and from the obvious sincerity which it displays. His Grace has contemplated the Act in a point of view which, however delusive, has fascinated himself. It is only surprising that he has not equally fascinated others. Nothing but the inherent errors in the Act could prevent his Grace's defence from being complete. But how could any defence of the Bequests Act be successful, when that document contains, by the confession of his Grace himself, "blemishes," "imperfections," "deplorable defects," and a clause mischievous to charity ? Admis sions made from the spirit of truth and sincerity which distinguish all the life of the venerated Prelate. But what a vindication do not these admissions contain of the opinions of the majority of the prelates and clergy who have condemned the Act ! Ido humbly trust that they will also palliate, if not justify, the de cided hostility which I have felt it my sacred and solemn duty, ungifted layman as I am, to exhibit to this statute. Let me now drop all further allusion to the pastoral, and confine myself to the Act itself. My objections to it are numerous, strong, and, I think, decisive. They are, as briefly.as I can state them, these : First.—l object to the Act on principle. We are not promised any amendment of it; but no amendment of it would satisfy me. It contains the principle which lab • hor, of a direct connection between the Catholic Church and the State. There cannot be religious freedom where there is a connection between the Church and State. In such a connection the State always predomi nates, and tyrannizes, more or less, over the Church. Religion should be free.- It is a matter of an eternal concern. The Church which teaches that religion should be free from the shackles of man's power, direct or in direct. Secondly.—l object to the Act upon principle; as it creates a connection between the Catholic prelates in Ire land and the Irish Government. This objection has no thing personal in it as far as relates to the three vene rated prelates who form part of the commission. If any men could be entrusted with the delicate and difficult office of acting in such a connection, there certainly could be no objection to these prelates. But the Catholic Church of Ireland is not to be over-ridden by the Govern ment, even by the unintentional intervention of the most respected of the prelacy. Thirdly.—l object to this statute, because it' gives the Government the power of making selections and picking choices among the Catholic prelates—enabling the Government to select one if they please, as being more loyal than another, and rejecting others as not being equally loyal with the chosen. In short, the Act gives a power to the Government to adjudicate as it were upon the character of our prelates —to estimate their character, and to select amongst them by way of preference. This objection appears to me quite un answerable. Fouithly.—l object emphatically to any connection between the Catholic prelates and the present Govern ment. Was not the Duke of Wellington bred up in the worst school of no-Popery politics ? and when he yielded Emancipation did he not expressly retain all his prejudices against Catholicity ? Is not Sir Robert Peel the man who organised the Orange system in Ireland ? and ought he not to hate those who could not overcome the errors of his judgment, b u t f orce d hi m aga i nst hi s inclination to grant them their political rights ? We hare humiliated Peel, and it is utterly impossible he should ever forgive us. Is not Sir James Graham an avowed, or, at all events, an ill-concealed fanatic ? Is not Lord Stanley the determined champion of Protes tantism in every quarter of the British empire ? I ask it in shame and in sorrow, ought our prelates have any connection with such men ? Fifthly.—l object to the Act on principle, as forming a connection between our prelates and the Irish Govern ment-.:that Government which owes its existence to the virulent and anti-Catholic and anti-Irish feelings of a majority of the English people ; feelings that were exas perated to the utmost virulence by the powerful writers of the Tory press—a press which distinguished the Ca tholic people of Ireland as " a filthy and felonious multi tude.," and characterised our clergy as " surpliced ruffians," and a " demon priesthood." Sixthly.—l object upon principle to any connection between our prelates and the present Irish Government —that Government which selected for the highest judi cial authority Chief Justice Pennefather ; and for the judicial bench Lefroy and Jackson ; and for the Mas ter's office in Chancery Litton—three of the most violent enemies of Catholicity which the Irish bar could produce. Seventhly.—l object upon principle to any connec tion between the Catholic prelates of Ireland and that Irish Government which issued the tardy Clontarf pro clatuation—a proclamation to which was affixed the name of that very Lord Donoughmore, who is now, forsooth, a co-commissioner of the Most Rev. Doctors Crolly and Murray, and the Right R ev . D octor D env i r. H ow l i ttle could Lord Cloncurry, when he talked of the " projected massacre " -at Cloutarf, imagine that he would ever see Lord Donoughmore enrolled in the same corps of com missioners with any of our revered prelates ? Eighthly.—l object upon principle to any connection between the Catholic Prelates of Ireland and the Go vernment that persevered in the monster prosecution against the leading Catholics, and so constructed the jury that they were able to strike off all the Catholics from the panel, and thus, as far as in the m l a y, repea l e d the Emancipation A c t. Are these jury -selectors to be the familiar companions of our prelacy? [The remainder of the letter of Mr. O'Connell has not yet been received at the Pilot-office.

The Limerick Chronicle contains the following:—" On Sunday morning last, between the hours of two and three o'clock, Kilballyowen House, the family seat of The O'Grady, was visited by an armed gang of incendiaries, who posted a Rockite notice on the entrance, and fired a shot through his hall door, which perforated the curtain drapery, and struck the opposite wall, after which the ruffians departed, firing a second shot, but not daring to force an entry into the mansion. This violent outrage was committed in the centre of a populous and cultivated district, near the town of Bruff, and in the neigh bour hf; hood of a police station, whi c h, like most other south of Ireland, is so weak as not to afford t a s n to e t enffi strength for a vigilant patrol. It is enough to observe that thd threatening notice was of a murderous nature, but of which The O'Grady and his family were not aware until daylight, when the midnight mandate was revealed and not be d eterred by are whose provi s i ons are in all its cowardly atrocity. The Rock legi s l a t ors t n h o e w armingordinary quite inadequate to arrest the evil spirit which roams abroad fearless and unchecked , through the rural districts. , f a o t rc h e ig o h f t g h a e m l e a'w, , will In thelarge circle of the resident landed gentry of this extensive county, there is not one who could be deemed less obnoxious than The O'Grady, for he is not only a considerable proprietor, who gives constant employment to upwards of 100 men in the year, but also a most indul• gent, encouraging landlord, whose Janus in the most fertile portion of that district, are let upon fair and mo derate rents, to a respectable and comfortable tenantry. It is, however, con j ectured that a property of the late . Mr. Wise, of Cork, recently out of lease, has occasioned this revolutionary symptom. The O'G ra dy h as o ff ere d a reward of 501. or discovery and conviction of the mid night gang implicated in this outrage ; and we confi dently trust that the Government and the magistrates of the Limerick district, who are to meet on Saturday next at the county Court-house, will not be tardy or negli, gent in thu .dischuge of a;iirapop4ul diq it. this gigs." C__// 12 SERIOUS MILITARY now.—The Limerick Chronti-le contains the following curious statement:--" The sergeontg of the 73d Entertained the sergeants of the 6th on their ar rival in Dublin from Chester, for which the latter resolved to return the compliment, and at Christmas both parties met at dinner. All went on happily until the spirit of the company rose to an extraordinary pitch. A scuffle ensued, and the officer on guard felt it necessary to report the circumstances to Colonel Bunbury, of the 67th, who at once ordered the bugle to sound fir ' turn out.', The great body of the troops answered to the call, and a party was ordered to the scene of the riot and to take the sergeants into custody. As soon as they perceived the guard the sergeants of both corps seized hold of pokers, bottles, chairs, and stood upon the de fensive, threatening death and demolition to the first who approached. Officers came forward and remon strated with the rioters, who were taken into custody, bet not without inflicting some blows on the officers and men. The colonel of the 67th received a blow of a stone An investigation was held next day by the General, and the men admitted their ' error' (?) but protested that the Irish whiskey had taken away their senses. The colonel interceded for them, and after a lecture on their con duct, they were permitted to return, with a warning Against whiskey." THE BISHOP OF EXETER AND HIS DIOCESE. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 9.—The feeling which exists in the minds of the laity of Plymouth, Stonehouse, and De vonport, against the changes which have been introduced in the ceremonial of the service of the Church is, if any thing, stronger then amongst the laity of Exeter. I From circumstances—from many of the church-goers here having been won from the ranks of the Dissenters by the erection of proprietary churches, and from the churches being generally supported by the letting of pews, a feeling of independence and voluntaryism (if I may use the word) strongly pervades many of the laity; and the clergy, with but one or two exceptions, sre what are termed "Low Church" in doctrine, but are ge nerally popular, and allied in feeling with the laity. With a clergy and a laity holding such opinions, it may well be conceived that the recent innovations in the Church service , are viewed with dislike and distrust, and with much jealousy of their ultimate object. Immediately after the publication of the pastoral letter of the Bishop, enjoining the observance of the obnoxious changes, and an exact fulfilment of the rubrics, a publics meeting of the inhabitants of Plymouth was held at the Royal Hotel, at which resolutions expressive of attach ment to the Church, but of " alarm and disgust at the recent attempts at innovation in its ceremonial, the ten dency of which they believed to be an approximation to the obnoxious practices of the Church of Rome," were passed. This meeting was followed by vestry meetings in the different parishes, at which similar resolutions were agreed to. Similar meetings were also held at Devonport, at all of which the same strong feeling of determined resistance to the, introduction of these inno vations was expressed. About the same time a meeting of the clergy of the deanery of Plymptort was held, for the purpose of re ceiving the pastoral letter of the Bishop. Those of the clergy in that division of the diocese who were inclined to the doctrines of the innovators wished that some ar rangement should be immediately entered into, for the purpose of the general and immediate adoption of the surplice, and for complying with the wishes of the Bishop. On the other side, the clergy opposed to these changes wished for delay, in the hope and expectation that some alteration would take place in the order of the Bishop ; and by a m a j or i ty o f f our or fi ve t h e cons id ere tion of the pastoral letter was postponed till Tuesday last, gut 7th instant. On Tuesday the clergy of the deanery of Plymptorf again met at the George Inn, Ridgway ; the Rev. John Allen, rector of North fluish, Rural Dean, in the chair. Twenty-seven of the clergy of the deanery were present. A series of resolutions were proposed by the Rev. W. Coppard, of the parish of Piympton, embodying—first, an expression of respect for the episcopal office, with an earnest desire to comply, as far as possible, with all the lawful injunctions of the diocesan ; and, secondly, that in consideration of the aspect of the times, and in anti cipation of some measures being brought before them from authority, it be respectfully urged upon the Bishop to allow the clergy of the deanery to exercise their own discretion with regard to the use of the rubrics, assuring his Lordship that they would adhere to them as strictly as they felt themselves empowered to do. To these resolutions an amendment was proposed by the Rev. William Oxenham, vicar of Modbury, to the effect that the thanks of the clergy of the deanery be presented to the Bishop fur his recent pastoral letter,. with the expression of their determination to render im plicit obedience to all his Lordship's commands, in con sideration of the solemnity of their ordination vows and oaths ; and further expressing the dissatisfaction felt by the clergy at the course pursued by the laity during the recent agitation. A conversation on the resolutions and amendment then ensued, of several hours' duration, in which the Rev. John Hatchard, vicar of St. Andrew's, Plymouth ; the Rev. G. F. Wedbaurne, of Charles Chapel, Ply mouth ; the Rev. John Child, minister of St. Paul's, Stonehouse ; the Rev. H. G. Greave.:, minister of St. George's, Stunehouse, arid several ether clergymen, spoke in favour of the resolutions. Ile Rev. E. F. Coke, of Plymstock ; the Rev. J. C. Street, curate of Charles, Plymouth, and others, sup ported the amendment. The Rev. Mr. HATCHARD said, that he felt it was utterly impossible for him, as a man of common in tegrity, to render thanks to the Bishop of Exeter for his pastoral letter, the effect of which had been almost to rend the Church asunder, and to produce the must serious and detrimental consequences to her best in terests. Ile at the same time stated his conviction that his Lordship was influenced by the best and purest intentions, although it was perfectly manifest from the result that he had fallen into a grievous error With regard to obedience to his diocesan, ho could confidently appeal to all his brethren by whom he was surrounded that he ever had made it, and ever would make it, his great object to obey every godly ad monition, and every lawful and ghostly command. He strongly deprecated the enforcement of all the rubrical laws, inasmuch as he conceived the tendency of some of them to be to restore Popish practices, and to give deep offence to the great body of the laity, who constituted that Church of which the clergy were the ministers. If the rubrics were to be restored, it seemed to him to be inconsistent to restore them in part and not as a whole ; for it must be borne in mind that there were many rubrics which still formed part of the laws of the Church of England, which were .not printed is the Common Prayer-book, but which would be found at full length in " Gibson's Codex." In illustrating his views of the Popish tendency of these rubrics, the Rev. Gentleman particularly referred to the use of the alb, and cope, and tunicle, by the clergy in the discharge of their official duties. With regard to the course pursued by the laity, while he by no means attempted to vindicate every ex pression that might have been used, or every resolution that had been passed, at the various meetings which had been held, he yet most heartily thanked God that so wide-spread a Proteatr nt feeling had burst forth; and he felt assured that 50 years hence those who would suc ceed them would look back with feelings of thankfulness to the great efforts which had been made by the laity generally. A number of the clergy present briefly expressed simi lar views. The Rev. W. Oxesdam addressed himself chiefly in reply to the observations of Mr. llatchard. He strongly urged that the resolutions did not go far enough, parti cularly on the point of clerical obedience. The meeting throughout was of the most stormy character. On both sides very strong expressions were used, which in some instances partook of acrimonious personality, Charges of leaning to Calvinism and Dissent we made against some,,and of Romish views against others. At length a division took place on the resolutions, the numbers being—for the resolutions 15, for the amendment 12. It was then determined to hold a third meeting on Monday, the 10th of February next, for the purpose of comparing notes as to the extent to which the rubrics are observed or neglected in the different churches and chapels of the deanery; and also in the expectation that by that time some notice may have been given in Parliament of what is intended on the whole question, feem which the clergy may be enabled to draw some conclusions. In the meantime no changes whatever have taken place in the service as performed in the churches in the deanery. The above brief report gives an outline of the feeling of the clergy in this deanery. t h e.), Withloo look regard upou to th t e li B e i laity,the lis feelingau extremely is tt himhf y " o th f think covert him s hortly ute this— d insincere,saaeious and distrust i but st ru from st hi him. past T e h sc e p y e g r u i e s n p c o e ? te is s,o increase his own! order, even the hut power design andin introducing influence, andthe s t e h a c t h o a f n ruleTn e They over suspectthe mindsh im of o s f ee tb k e in p g e t o o p e le sta ( b to lis andaobpstol theute expres sion of one informant), "for every bishop in his diocese, se; e n t r versy, the clergy inc e the o n„s hadme n e t ea of e d the' to c use every rector in his par iek, and fo r every curate at a tea-party."

This is the general and deeply•rooted feeling of the laity. They say—" We are not at all afraid of the Bishop and those of his clergy who carry out his views ipso facto adopting the tenets of Rome, and acknowledging papal supremacy; but by wh a t ever name you call it, what we are afraid of is, the attempted establishment of priestly domination, the aggressive graspings of power and influence by the clergy ; and these we are determined we will not submit to. Your ceremonies are meant to abuse and influence the minds of the laity to your authority; your offertory collections are meant to give you power by placing un controlled in your hands the means of carrying out any object you may will, even iu direct opposition to our feelings. We distrust you, and we are determined we will have none of these changes." Such, in a few words may be said to be the feelings of the laity. So far is this suspicion and belief of a covert design to grasp at power on the part of the Bishop generally entertained, that the churchwardens of the several parishes of the deanery of Kirrier, in Cornwall, at a meeting held at Heleton, on the 23d of last month, amongst ethers adopted the following resolution:— "5. That, in the opinion of this meeting, the neces sity for episcopal interference in the present case (if such there be) has been created by the Bishop of the diocese himself, who has privately encouraged several of his clergy holding Tr ac t ar i an - doctrines to introduce obsolete and long-forgotten observances, with the inten tion of furnishing himself with an excuse for interposin his authority.
