In the case of churches where agitation prevails, and nothing has been definitively settled, it is not possible to lay down any general rule which may be applicable to all circumstances. But is it too much to hope that those who are zealous for the honour of God and the good of his Church, will show, by the temporary surrender of their private opinions, that they are equally zealous in the cause of peace and charity ? On the particular questions which disquiet the public mind, I think it unadvisable to pronounce an opinion. Upon careful examination, I have found reason to think that some of these questions are more difficult of solution than is commonly imagined, and that the meaning which occurs at first sight is not always the most correct. And the general question in respect to what should be conceded to usage in controlling or modifying the written law, seems to me to be open to much doubt. But, if I were ever so fully persuaded in my own mind, I should be unwilling, for reasons already assigned, to pronounce a judgment which, not having legal authority, might be accepted by some and disregarded by others, and might thus increase the confusion which it was designed to remedy. For similar reasons I have not thought it expedient to call the Bishops of my province together at this time, though it will be my desire, as well as my duty, to seek their advice and assistance when a fit op portunity presents itself. I am, however, fully assured of their general concurrence in depre cating the continuance of discussions, which will undoubtedly multiply strife and contention, but which, in the present posture of things, can lead to no beneficial result.

For a considerable time past my attention has been anxiously turned to the divisions in the Church, occa sioned by differences of opinion with respect to the in tention of certain rubrical directions in the Liturgy, and diversities of practice in the performance of Divine Ser vice. These questions, relating to matters in themselves indifferent, but deriving importance from their connexion with the maintenance of uniformity and order in the solemn ministrations of the Church, are rendered difficult by the ambiguity of the rubrics in some instances, and in all, by the doubts which may arise as to the weight which should be allowed to general usage when it varies from the written law. It is partly on these accounts, and partly from uncertainty with respect to the extent of the powers committed to the Archbishop of the Province, in the preface te the Book of Common Prayer, for the reso lution of doubt in regard to the contested points, that I have not felt myself justified in expressing an authoritative opinion upon questions occasionally sub mitted to me on these subjects. I was, indeed, willing to hope that these controversies, like many of much greater itnpertance which have for a season disquieted the Chutch, would be suffered to die away of themselves, when the arguments on each side had been thoroughly sifted, from the good sense of the parties engaged in them, and the general conviction of their unprofitableness. But having been disappointed in this expectation, and considering the tendency of continued agitation to weaken the sacred bonds of affection which ought to unite the clergy and laity as members of one body in Christ, I hold it a duty to come forward, in the hope of allaying animosities, and putting a stop to dissensions, which are shown by experience to be not only nuedifying, but mis chievous. With this view I would call your attention to a few considerations, which, with persons who are de sirous of peace, will, I trust have their due weight. It has long been observed that, in the performance of Divine service in the genrality of our parochial churches, there has been a deviation, in certain particulars, from the express directions of the rubric, and that, in some cases, a difference in respect to the sense of the rubric has led to a diversity in practice. In regard to such points, in themselves non-essential, the most conscien tious leygymen have felt themselves justified in treading in the steps of their predecessors ; and hence the irregularity (for all departure from rule is irregular), which seems, in some instances at least, to have existed from the beginning, became inveterate. There have, I apprehend, at all times been clergymen who have been distressed by this inconsistency ; and of late years it has been regarded by many excellent men as irreconcil able with the obligations which they took upon them selves on their admission into Holy Orders. Under the influence of these scruples, they thought it right to adhere as closely as possible to the letter of the rubric in their ministration ; whilst others of their brethren, not less conscientious, have been deter • mined by considerations, in their estimation of great weight, to follow the usage which they found established in their respective churches. Under these circumstances a diversity of practice has arisen, which is not only inconsistent with the principle of uniformity maintained by the Church, but is sometimes associated in the minds of the people with peculiarities of doctrine, and gives birth to suspicions and jealousies destructive of the confidence which should always subsist between the flock and their pastor. To prevent the increase of an evil which might terminate in actual schisms was confessedly most desirable ; and the most effectual mode of accom plishing the object, it has been thought, would be found in general conformity to the rubric. Universal concur rence in this easy and obvious regulation would have combined the several advantages of securing compliance with the law of the Church and the land, of putting a stop to unauthorised innovations, and of excluding party distinctions, in their character decidedly un christian, from thd public worship of God ; and I can not but regret that measures which, with a view to these good purposes, have been recommended by high autho rities, should not have been received with unanimous acquiescence, as the means of restoring order and peace, without any departure from the principles of the Church, or offence to the most scrupulous conscience. At the same time, I am sensible that those who object have much to allege in their justification. If the written law is against them, they plead an opposite usage, in parochical churches at least, reaching back, perhaps, to the time when the intention of the lawgiver was best understood, superseding its literal sense, and determining its real meaning ; they appeal to the general consent of bishops, clergy, and laity, implied in the absence of any effectual interference during so long a period, they object to the sudden revival of rules, which in their opinion are obsolete, and still more, to their rigid enforcement after so long a term of abeyance, In fairness to them we must allow, that this dislike of alterations in the manner of worship to which they have been accustomed from their infancy, proceeding, as it does, from attachment to the ordinances of the Church, ought not to be visited with unkindly censure ; and we can hardly be surprised at any change being regarded with suspicion when so many attempts have been made to introduce innovations which are really objection able, and tend, as far as they go, to alter the cha racter of our Church. It must also be granted that the intention of the Church is not always clearly discoverable from the language of the rubric, nor determinable with absolute certainty from the records of early practice. In such cases it may with some show of reason be said, that, as the eminent men to whom the several revisions of the Liturgy were successively entrusted, did not see the necessity of giving directions so precise as to insure a rigid conformity in every particular, we may be con tented to acquiesce in s li g ht d ev i a ti ons from rule, sug gested by convenie nce , an d sanc ti one d by long — Usage. Now, whatever may be the force of the arguments on either side, a difference of opinion will probably always exist in regard to the contested points. But all parties will concur in regarding these points as of far less importance than the maintenance of that mutual confidence which, next to support from above, forms the main strength of the Church, pro ducing the . harmonious co-operation of its several members, and disposing the people to look up with reverence to their pastor as their spiritual instructor and guide. In whatever degree, or by whatever means, the tie of affection is loosened, a proportionate diminution will follow of that moral influence on which the efficiency of the clergyman's teaching will always depend. The case, then, if fairly considered with reference to the existing dissensions, and the results to be expected from their 'continuance, will show the necessity of mutual forbearance to the peace and the honour, I may even say, to the safety, of the Church. The laity, it may be hoped, will see the propriety of respecting the consciences of such of the clergy as have held themselves bound to strict compliance with the express direction of the rubric, without regard to former disuse ; and the clergy will perceive the expediency of sot pressing too harshly, or abruptly, the observance of laws which, having by themselves and their predecessors been long suffered to sleep, have now the appearanc e of novelty. I am fully alive to the importance of uniformity in the celebration of Divine Service ; but I think it would be purchased too dearly at the expense of lasting divi sions—a consequence which, I trust, will be averted by a suspension of the existing disputes. My hope of such an adjustment is grounded on the wisdom, temper, and piety which are engaged on both sides of the question. A settlement which would have the sanction of law is at the present moment impossible ; and, were it possible, could hardly be attempted with hope of success till the subsisting excitement has been allayed by time and re flection. But till that time shall arrive, our regard to the spiritual interests of our brethren ought surely to put a stop to contentions, which, besides the offence against charity, engage much time and ability which might be infinitely better applied, and which can afford pleasure to those only who bear to our Church. The matters in controversy, considered in them selves, are not of vital importance : the service in our churches has in general been conducted in conformity to the Apostle's direction, with order and decency ; and, whether performed with exact regard to the letter of the rubric, or with the variations established by genera l usage, will still be decent and orderly. I therefore en t rea t you to consider, whether the peace of the Church s h ou ld be hazarded by prolonging an unprofitable cont roversy , a t a time w ithmosurechehspopeceiaolfly; when her energ i es are di rected,uceess, to th e promotion of religion and morals, and when the clergy and laity are zealously engaged in united exertions for the erection and endowment of churches and schools, and for other pious and beneficial objects in almost every part of the country. What I would most earnestly recommend for the pre- Sent, is the discontinuance of any proceedings, in either direction, on the c ontroverted queitions. In churches • In order to guard against misapprehension, -I think it proper to state, that all I have here said is strictly con fined to the rubrical questions which have occasioned the present agitation. All change in the performance of the service, 'affecting the doctrine of the Church, by alteration, addition, or omission, I regard with unquali fied disapprobation. I may further remark that the danger to the Church would be great, if clergymen, not having due respect either to episcopal authority or estab lished usage, should interpret the rubric for themselves, should introduce or curtail ceremonies at pleasure, or make Divine Service in any way the means of express ing their own theological opinions or party views. In respect to the ritual, the preface to the Book of Com mon Prayer directs all persons having doubts, or diversely taking anything in the performance of the Church Service, to resort to the Bishop of the diocese for the resolution of such doubts, and the appeasing of diversities. Had due attention been paid, from the first, to this salutary rule, the Church might perhaps have been saved from much of the dissension which at various times has divided her members, and grieved and perplexed her rulers, and which, if not speedily checked, may again cause a serious dis turbance of her peace. Considering the course I have sug gested as offering the only immediate means of averting such a calamity, and at the game time preparing the way for a final arrangement at a convenient season, I earnestly recommend its adoption, in the hope that through the blessing of God, it raay lay the foundation of lasting peace ; " and to this end"— (I borrow the words of a learned and pious ritualist)—" to this end may the God of Peace give us all meek hearts, quiet spirits, and devout affections, and free us from all prejudice, that we may have full churches, frequent prayers, and fervent charity that, uniting in our prayers here, we may all join in His praises hereafter, for the sake of Jesus . Christ our Lord." - Amen. W. CANTUAR. Lambeth Palace, Jan. 11, 1845. ADMIRALTY ORDERS. (From last night's Gazette.) BY THE COMMISSIONERS FOR EXECUTING THE OFFICE OF LORD HIGH ADMIRAL OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, &C. Rules, Orders, and Regulations, for the preservation of her Majesty's moorings, and for the mooring, anchor ing, and placing of all private ships of war, transports, and all other private and merchant ships and vessels, lighters, barges, boats, and other craft whatsoever, in Plymouth Sound, and in the harbours of Hamoaze and Catwater, made and established pursuant to the Act of Parliament, passed in the 54th year of the reign of his late Majesty King George the Third, chap. 159, intituled " An Act for the better regulation of the several ports, harbours, roadsteads, sounds, channels, bays, and navigable rivers, in the United Kingdom, and of his Majesty's docks, dockyards, ar senals, wharfs, moorings, and s t ores th ere i n , an d f or repealing several Acts passed for that purpose." AS TO PLYMOUTH SOUND. Art. I. All her Majesty's ships and vessels of war are exclusively to occupy the outer anchorage in Plymouth Sound, within and near the Breakwater. Art IL All merchant and other private ships and ves sels, of every description, are hereby ordered to occupy the inner anchorage in the Sound, within a space bounded by the following marks and lines, viz.:— To the northward of a line supposed to be drawn from Rain Cliff Point, towards the west. To the southward of another line supposed to be drawn from Mount Edgcumbe House, through the Canteen on Drakes Island, to the eastern shore of Plymouth Sound. To the eastward of another line supposed to be drawn from the east end of Windsor-terrace, in the town of Plymouth, to the Obelisk on the Hoe, and continued through the whit ewas h e d seamar k on the rocks, to the before -mentioned line supposed to be drawn from the Ram Cliff Point, towards the west. The object of this arrangement is, that a sufficient na vigable channel may be kept open over the hard and foul ground on the west side of this anchorage, and no ship or vessel whatever shall be anchored or placed in the said navigable channel, under pain of the penalties proscribed by the said Act of Parliament. AS TO HAMOAZE. Art. I. It is hereby ordered, that no owner, master, or other commanding officer of any private ship of war, transport, or other private or merchant ship or vessel, lighter, barge, boat, or other craft, nor any pilot or other person employed by either of them, shall anchor or moor, or cause to be anchored or moored, any such pri vate ship of war, transport, or other private ship or ves sel, lighter, barge, boat, or other craft, in the fair way or channel between the Queen's moorings in the said harbour or in Barnpool, within fifty fathoms of the cen tres of any of the said moorings, or of her Majesty's ships, floating magazines, and hulks, lying thereat, or in the front or abreast of her Majesty's docks, dock-yard, or gun-wharf, and between the same and the eastern line of hulks, or even to drop an anchor within such space and situations, except in case of necessity to prevent da mage to herself, or that of the Queen's ships which may be at the contiguous mooring, and then to remove as soon as possible thereafter;' except also in cases where any of the said ships, vessels or craft, may be consigned to the dock-yard or gun-wharf, and must, therefore, necessarily anchor contiguous thereto, till they can come to the cranes and wharfs for delivery of their cargoes, and then to be placed in such situations as the superintendent of her Majesty's-dock-yard at Devonport, or the masters attendant or Queen's pilots by whom they are conducted shall direct. Nor shall any private ship of war, transport, or other private or merchant ship or vessel, lighter, barge, boat, or other craft, be anchored or moored between the island and main, at a less distance than fifty fathoms to the southward of the transporting buoy within the said island, or in any place off the east end of the island near the buoy of the Asia shoal, or between it and the buoy of the Winter, or near the fair way or outer transporting buoy in the Sound, neither shall any be made fast to, or be moored, or secured by any of the mooring anchors or chains to which access can be had when the tide is out, either on the eastern or western shore of the said harbour of Hamoaze, or be made fast to any of the buoys or piles of her Majesty within the said harbour, in the fronts of the said docks, dock-yard, or gun-wharf, or other pre mises belonging to them respectively, nor anchor or moor so as to swing within any of the said buoys or piles, upon pain of the penalties for such offences as the said Act of Parliament directs.

This restriction, in regard to the anchorage of merchant ships, transports, &c., is, however, not in tended to exclude such as, trading to the port, must ne cessarily have admission to the several wharfs, docks, &c., at Mutton Cove, North Corner, New Passage, and elsewhere, for loading and unloading their cargoes, and which are generally grounded for such purposes ; but all such merchant ships, vessels, lighters, barges, boats, or other craft, are to continue to enjoy their accustomed privileges in this respect, in as full and effectual a man ner as if these regulations had not taken effect. Art. 11. All private ships of war, transports, and other private ships or vessels, lighters, barges, boats, and other craft, are hereby expressly prohibited, under the penalties of the said Act, from being breamed in any part of the said harbour of Hitinoaae, except ok the shores of Stonehouse-pool aforesaid, at Frank's Quirry, or to the northward of the Queen's moorings ; and fro • coming or entering into the said harbour, being laden with, or having on board, any quantity of gunpowder, exceeding five pounds weight in the whole.

The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society is, that the whole Profits are divisible amongst the Policy Holders every three years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the Society, it may be stated that the additions made to Policies have been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured and on the vested bonus. Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,0001. effected on the let of March, 1832, will, if it become a claim during the present year, be entitled to 1,2971.; or, if effected on or before the let March, 1833, to 1,2751., and so on as regards other Policies. The Accumulated Fund exceeds 260,0001., and the Annual Revenue is above 70,0001., the whole being in a course of steady and increas ing prosperity. No other Life Assurance Institution whatever can warrantably hold out greater advantages to parties Assuring than this Society does. Policies effected before the Ist of March participate in a full year's bonus. ♦VILLIAM COOK, Agent for London. 61 A, Moorgate-street.

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL INCOME being UPWARDS of 72,0001. In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per annum, on the Sum blamed to all Policies of the Participating Class from the time they wets effected. The Bonus added to elides ftom March, 1834, to December 31, 1840, is as follows : Sam Time Sum added Sum Time Sum added Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation; the great aim and object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SE CURITIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS. THIS IS THE ONLY. COMPANY from whom the assured, on the mutual principle, receives the whole of the mutual accu mulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums in the policies, although tho debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is se cured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one.half of the first seven years' premium is required, thr other half being pay. able at the convenience of the assured; thus allowing a Policy to be continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured, seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him from affecting a new Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium applicable to an age seven years younger.

The following case has excited so much interest, that the Guardians of the palish of Brent, Devon, have considere I it their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ro bins, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them); that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them tor some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops,' and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have completely cured him, and he is ram enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public. Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Manning, William Pearce, Henry Goodman, Arthur Langworthy. June 21, 1543. The above-mentioned Thomas Robins was quite incapable of doing any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking those Drops. Some of his wounds were so large, that it was most awful to leek at them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were moat dreadful; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by passers by, both day and night, for sleep was entirely out of the ques tion. He was reduced to mere skin and bone. and daily continued to get weaker, so that there was every probability of his speedy death. Read the following extract from the " Nottingham Review":— "IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD THE CAUSE (IF SCURVY, BAD LEOS, &e. 1 ' It is really astonishing that so many persons should be content to be afflicted with scurvy, wounds in the legs, &c., when it is a well. ascertained fact that ' Halse'a Scorbutic Drops' make the disease vanish like snow before the sun.

DUBLIN, JAN. 13.—The Roman Catholic clergy of the arch-diocese of Dublin are to meet to-morrow, in annual conference, at the Presbytery in St. Michael and St. John's parish. It is understood that a petition, pre pared .by lArchbishop Murray is to be submitted for adoption, praying the Legislature to repeal the penal clauses against the regular clergy in the Emancipation Act. This, judging from appearances, is likely to be the commencement of a very general moTement to relieve the regular clergy from the very severe and persecuting provisions of that Act. ARRIVAL OF MR. O'CONNELL. Mr. O'Connell is to arrive in Dublin on Sunday even ing next, and is to attend the meeting of the Repeal Association of the following day. It is stated that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman intends shortly to pay a visit to his daughter, Mrs. Fitzsimon, who is in Belgium. The Pilot of this evening will contain the following letter from Mr. O'Connell : " Darrynane Abbey, Jaa. 10, 1845. "My Dear Barrett,—l moan to postpone for a few days my second letter on the Bequests Act. I am tremulously alive to the apprehension that any one should conceive that my first letter was in any degree disre pectful to any of the prelates who have accepted the commission. I wish to postpone the second that I ntay be able to apologise for, and indeed, repudiate any such meaning. lam not the less hostile to the Bequests Act, or to any concordat, or State provision for our clergy, because of this postponement. Because I expect that the letter which his Grace the Catholic Archbishop of Ar magh certainly received from the Propaganda, on the subject of the repeal agitation, should appear before I publish another letter. " What a ludicrous situation the Ministry aro in, as having procured from the Court of Rome such a letter, in direct opposition to the oaths they hare taken, that the Pope has not, and ought not to have, directly or indirectly, any power, authority, or jurisdiction, civil or religious, within this realm! " Besides, the interval between this and my second letter will be well filled by the admirable pamphlet of Ur. Sergeant Shee. He is, you are aware, I suppose, an eminent English barrister—an Irishman by birth, or, at least, by parentage—and, what is more to the present purpose, a strictly practical Catholic. His authority will, deservedly, have great weight with all our prelates; and for my part I should not be surprised if it produced a breaking up of the commission by the resignation of our prelates. At all events, it cannot but have a most powerful effect on the Catholic mind of Ireland against the Act. He cannot be considered as the partisan of any section, spiritual or lay, of the Irish Catholics. His opinion is, therefore, justly calculated to have that weight which is naturally refused to mine.—Faithfully yours, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " Richard Barrett, Esq., Pilot Office." RUMOURED VISIT OF MR. O'CONNELL TO ROME. There is a rumour in town, resting, perhaps, merely on surmise, that Mr. O'Connell has determined to proceed to Rome early in the ensuing month. THE RESCRIPT FROM THE POPE. The Freeman's Journal thus refers to the rescript from the Propaganda, published by Archbishop Crolly : " Now that its contents are known, we are happy to say that there is nothing to affright or to confound in that grave instrument. The rescript contains the exhor tations of the Court of Rome to the prelates of the Irish branch of the Catholic Church, in reference to a combi nation of circumstances, political and social, such as the world never heretofore has witnessed. It is not for us to meddle in a matter which so peculiarly concerns and interests the hierarchy and clergy of this country. We have no right, and certainly we have no desire to do so. The hierarchy themselves have treated the rescript with that degree of respect, obedience, and veneraticn that should ever be paid to any document emanating from the Apostolic See,' and have pledged themselves ' to carry the spirit thereof into effect.' The obedience' promised might well be anticipated from the most strictly submis sive branch of the Catholic Church, and the spirit' in which they were prepared to obey the rescript might well be predicted of a hierarchy and clergy, whose ear nest respondence to the obligations of citizenship reflects honour on the Irish nation. This obedience' which the prelates promise in no respect interferes with the obliga tions which, as citizens, they owe to their country. The prelates who take part with the people have manifested the spirit in which they understand the rescript. In order to relieve the public mind, which we know is anxious to learn the effect of the Propaganda, we shall take leave to indicate the interpretation which has been almost unanimously given to it. " The Catholic Primate laid before the Synod in No vember last the rescript now given to the public. A resolution was passed upon the subject, and we are as sured, on the highest authority, that a copy of the document was taken by each of the assembled prelates, that he might have it4injunctions the more continuously present to his mind. Now, the repeal banquet at Limerick was held upon the 20th November, and the Synod had separated on the 15th, From Dublin two prelates went direct to that demonstration : one of those was the Archbishop of Tuam, the other the Bishop of Elphin. The mildness and singleness of heart of Dr. Browne have earned for him an epithet consonant with his characteristics, and the humility of his life would have prepared us to expect that he should be found the first to propose ' obedience' to the rescript of the I'ro paganda. Accordingly, it was his Lordship who pro • posed the resolution recorded in the letter of the Pri mate ; but, as if to mark, by an overt and decided act the acceptation in which not only the prelates who agreed to that resolution, but those also who proposed and se conded its adoption received the rescript, the proposer of the resolution and the most distinguished of those pre lates who have adhered to the national cause, were pre sent at the great Munster demonstration. Those emi nent dignitaries have proved that they are obedient chil dren of the Church; but they have also shown that they are prepared at all times to vindicate their rights of citizenship, and assert the perfect accordance between spiritual subjection to legitimate authority and the ut most freedom of municipal liberty. " It is desirable, nay, indispensable, that all ground for misrepresentation upon this grave subject should be re moved. It is necessary that the Irish people, knowing the whole truth, should be protected against the uneasi ness which might otherwise disturb them. With that objection in our contemplation, we:shall collate from the speeches of the Archbishop of Tuam and the Bishop . of Elphin, made by those eminent prelates at the Limerick banquet, passages which prove at once their eminently Christian spirit, and their devotion to the temporal as well as the eternal interests of their flocks. We re-pro duce those passages at the present moment for another purpose also. The Cardinal Prefect, in the rescript we elsewhere publish, in adverting to the causes in which that document originated, uses these words, si relate subsisterent—' if the representations made were well founded.' change but that of transmissionfmo u u s n t d e haved . to show that those representations, made no doubt by ' Wbohefeantt the ew ree scrhavenaturepnt false. o asal f ebrv:e t en h l N o :a s uone e ot doubttt :hethe fraternity resanhe representations' eepassagesrhn aiisnts uthcoe.f i cTedrd e rn e' persuading t he ministers of the Holy Father Gonfaloniert, or the Carbonari of Apuleia or of Calabria. order, and tranquillity.' force—who own no bond of unity unsealed by blood.

" My dear Ray,—You have inclosed 1/. 4s. repeal rent from Bishop's Castle, and also 1/. for another littlo cherub of a grand-daughter of mine, Betsie O'Connell (Charles), whom I forgot in my last list. " I intend, with God's blessing, to be in town on the 18th or 19th inst. You may therefore announce The Liberator will attend!' " How ludicrous is the state of ignorance of the public writers in England respecting the tone and temper of the Irish mind. They will now hare it that the fervent anxiety of the Irish for repeal has cooled down, and been succeeded by some indifference. What folly ! There never were so persevering a people as the Irish ; and the English scoffers may rest assured that there will be no:relaxation of every means provided by the Constitution for agitating for the repeal until our Parliament is in College-green. A nation wills it ! A moral, a faithful, a persevering nation, wills it ! That nation has every stimulant_ that a people can have to seek a great political change. Th e r e is no escape f rom i nsult and injustice— there is no escape from increasing poverty and accumu lating destitution, but in the restoration of our National Parliament. The people of Ireland abide their time. They will keep within the law. The repealers will commit no crime. But, I repeat, they abide their time. " The wealthier classes in England are in great pros perity ; but it is admitted that the population is endttr ing great privations and accumulated sufferings. How often do the Irish repeat the proverb, Man's infirmity is God's opportunity,' and descending to the smaller con cerns of this life, the first hour of England's infirmity, from domestic or foreign causes, will assuredly be the last hour of Ireland's servitude. Ireland will then, as she did in 'B2, pay the price of her liberty to England by rendering the British Crown secure and triumphant, and giving additional strength and prosperity to the British people. Until then there will be no relalattion in the spirit and determination for repeal, and the frith, univer sal cry will continue to be, Hurrah for the " I send you 241. received from Poughkeepsie. Let honourable mention be made of it at the Association. " Yours ever faithfully, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " T. M. Hay, Esq." Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN moved the insertion of the letter on the minutes, and congratulated the Association on the certainty of having Mr. O'Connell with them on th e succeeding Monday. The SECRETARY read a communication from Mr. Steele, dated Carrick-on. Shannon, announcing that having succeeded in tranquillising the county Leitrim he would now direct his efforts to the county of Tipperary. The writer concluded by saying, " I venerate his Holi ness the Pope, as the spiritual head—the Sanctissimus Pontiff of the religion of my Catholic Christian brethren over the globe of the earth ; but I say to his Holiness, in his character of a temporal prince of a State in Italy, that no power on earth except the Queen, the` , Lords, and the Commons, has a right to make laws for Ireland —temporal laws for the direction of Ireland, or for any portion of her people.' " Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN then rose and brought under the consideration of the meeting the subject of repeal read ing rooms. Having read the rules by which these read ing rooms were to be conducted, and entered into some details respecting them, he proceeded to say, that the establishment of these reading rooms met with the con sent and hearty concurrence of the Irish people. Since his first acquaintance with his countrymen he had disco vered among them an ardent thirst for knowledge. Ire land had been in former ages the centre of learning and civilisation ;to it numbers crowded from parts for education, and its missionaries were to be found in all quarters of the world. Misrule and foreign dothinatiou had tended to interrupt that happy state of things ; but, he was happy to say, that the same spirit which actuated their ancestors was still alive. He was sure he had their sympathy with him when he spoke on the subject of literature. They should be anxious, and he was confident they were, to look into the history of nations, and see how the people of those countries conducted themselves when they were - oppressed, and learn to profit by the mistakes they made wfien -.assert ing their liberties. It has been said that agitation frus trated industry, and that the people lost their time in attending meetings and listening to speeches, in place of attending to their business. Now he would say that their most active repeal wardens were examples of industrial exertion ; and one of the first inquiries made by the , committe when any individual applied for the ofhce of repeal warden was, whether he attended properly to his own private avocations. Their great object in forming these reading rooms was for the political eduCation of the people. Under other circumstances it might be de sirable to exclude party politics from them, but at present that would be impossible, as they should be ren dered effective in carrying out the policy of the Asso ciation, and be made the means of extorting the real of the union—perfect harmony and concord shouldpe be their characteristic of action. After some further ob servations, the Hon. Gentleman concluded by submit ting his motion for adoption. The motion was seconded by Mr. CANGLEY, barrister, and passed. 111 r. M'lNTEviti briefly addressed the meeting, confinißg his observations to the late communication trom Rome to Dr. Crolly, the Catholic primate, which he censured in the most marked and emphatic manner. He denied that the Court of Rome, or any foreign potentate, bad the right to exercise any authority over the temporal affairs of the people of Ireland. It was rumoured that English gold was at work, but he was convinced that every effort would fail in stifling the demand for repeal. Was it, he would ask, the voice of Peel, diluted through th• lungs of a Petre, that was governing the councils of the Vatican ? Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT addressed the meeting at some length, on the same subject as the last speaker. Ho denied the power of the Pope to interfere in the tempo ral affairs of the people of Ireland, and said he would treat any rescript having such a tendency as he would an emanation from the bureau of the Grand Turk. They would accept as much Roman theology as they wished to send them, but they would receive no Roman politics. Mr. H. GRATTAN likewise addressed the meeting, and expressed his hearty concurrence in all the observations which had fallen from the speakers who preceded him, and expressed his solemn conviction that the letter from the Propaganda did not represent the opinions of his Holiness, but that it was extorted from him. Mr. S. O'BRIEN congratulated the meeting on the noble spirit displayed to-day, which clearly proved that there was not in this country a divided allegiance, and he trusted that the admonition given would be effectual in the right quarter. The lion. Gentleman then announced the rent fur the week to be 2631. 18s. Id. The meeting then adjourned. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. In Meath, as well as in Tipperary, the Roman Catholic clergy and the farmers are exerting themselves with most commendable zeal to repress crime. Last week a very numerous meeting was held at Car lanstown, county of Meath, at which Henry Meredyth, Esq., a magistrate of that county, and an extensive landed proprietor, presided. Mr. Meredyth addressed the meeting, and, says the Drogheda Argus, " implored of all who heard him to regard his solemn warnings, and to use all their influence, each within his ott7klocality, to watch vigilantly over the peace of the country and their own safety involved therein. He reminded them, as men who loved their country and revered Mr. O'Connell, to regard the advice of that great and influential man, who had done so much for the people of Ireland. He conjured them to follow that advice, not merely in ab staining themselves from all connection with those so cieties—for that he was sure all who heard him would do—but they must also go farther ; they must use all their best endeavours to prevent others from joining in those illegal confederacies. Let them follow the advice of the Liberator in keeping the peace—in preventing the introduction of illegal societies—and there was no doubt he would lead them to greater moral victories than he had yet achieved." The chairman concluded his elo• quent appeal by calling again on each person to act in his own neighbourhood as a guardian of the public peace, and he highly commended the determination of the repeal wardens to inquire into any suspicious cir cumstance which might come to their knowledge; and re commended that they" should denounce and hand over to the proper authorities any person whom they had reason to believe to be connected or engaged in introducing these infamous societies, or otherwise concerned in dis 7 turbing the public peace." THE BEQUESTS .Ik3CIETN—TP.OPUL_ The Drogheda Argus, in noticing the agitation con nected with the Charitable Bequests Act., and the ru mours of a concordat, makes the following remarks:— "We disapprove of all personal attacks upon the bishops who are commissioners—we are and have been opposed to the imputation of any corrupt motive to any one of those prelates ; nor do we now offer any argu ment upon the Act alluded to. We care not what opi nion may be formed of the Act as regards the object of our present address; what we now d eplore is the results which love,r n e g la t f er from mnw respect s t ph We Bill tthh eeconnectionm of h t a h v a e t confidence, o alreadythesef spr p u whichh again repeat, the d arro eb bed es sential to their efficient teaching and preaching ,of the Gospel. Feelings of the most deplorable character have been evoked on all sides. The vast majority of the Ca tholic people of Ireland entirely differ with those vene rable bishops —too many have given expression to their feelings in a manner the most painful to those who like ourselves, are imbued with a deep veneration for-. the priestly order ; and still more admit those feelings to harbour within their breasts. The name of the Pri mate of all Ireland has been treated with disrespect, votes of thanks have been published to his assailants, resolutions refusing to place confidence in any one of the three prelates have been in very many places adopted. On the other side, foul calumnies have been rashly taken up and thoughtlessly circulated of a plot to take the life of the venerable Archbishop of Dublin. Another calumny was whispered that the venerable and the Learned Bishop, Dr. Kennedy, resigned through fear that be might be murdered. Near this town, in one of the Primate's own parishes, the people were prevented —we are sure without his authority or approval—from ' holding a meeting to petition, as they were permitted to do by the constitution of the realm, for a repeal of this Act ; forged letters, purporting to be from the Holy Father of the Christian Church were circulated, as if be forbade the Catholic people to petition against the ma. sure ; priest hai been set against priest, and bishop against bishop. These are facts which cannot be de. w surmise, language ed. We condemn ell violence of REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The weekly meeting. of the Association was held this day in the Conciliation hall. Thomas Davis, Esq., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, on the part - of-till members of the committee of the Association, for the vote of thanks which had been passed to them on the last day of meeting, for the rt ports which they had fur nished. It was not for the purpose of courting popular applause that they worked, but because they had arrived at the fixed and unalterable conclusion that there was no hope for Ireland but in a resident Legislature. The SECRETARY then read the following letter from Mr. O'Connell : .-- - - .., lox is 0 00' I, ao ed f or Do o . t bus; pßlPrices e d 13/ 'ed in sile' r lb P ,sti'a 'llid''' •Atli° a fter, 1 di .? pfr*" )ir't ,t ,~~, ~,' of ~~~ ,~°
