Foig-a-ballagh the rsCI 2 1 S owns seemed to think had won quite enough money It 213.0w0er last year and therefore he assigned him fhi s i which will I fancy answer all the ends intended. 4r • e ine animal has been backed occasionally at 50 to s . all in, and from being Mori vekieltine's Pitzallen, who now occupies the proud pot.ie 41ahi: lirst favourite, is apparently the representative of b considered so, his friends will strive eit, 6, their power to kee birn in his place. He is a bay 11 '110 4 ," the Sadler. out ..f li Ellen, and half-brother to Fitzr . oy, tlilt4,l Performances are well known to my readers, Fitz aeti• rh:u.li debut at Newcastle in the Tyro Stakes, for Ram say's Midlothian, and Fitz be h.,. as easily beaten by Mr. • . hands, I tast..;,,not sun since, although in such able 44 li 441 V, with five stone on his back, he can go and beat ls Ari ti „ arses, whose s p eed is well known.

Should Fobert bring t iii villeat all right with his temper undisturbed, I expect i 44 13 11- till ver ' f ard. Mr. W. Scott'. Cataract ; II th-eea morey hot.% supported than any horse s l iiti "a race, a d 7vl Week ago his friends took _a kig l e ss as to lnabout bill. He is by Horusea, wl o io .. (I,sy,:eand to the Queen of Trumps for the Leger . , 0 1 1 t 1. lis rii, who beat field of twenty fur the Oaks in 1831.. Vist,,r4ll:°:,_fire,yeaars of age, and carries est. 101 b. 1443 V' hear "" a atit Plate at the Newmarket Craven Meet tseii.t„ lag six rips; and afterwards ran sccond to the t o g 11: "sr, "ti -.-P4v a t 4- --- ha mbury, for the Gorhambury Stakes, tli s , 'al 3 41 b. for the year. I can see occupying the t o , Oe • does in the market. When I con ayt.l;lk° often he has disappointed his backers,. ‘ tlie t -miard s peculations of his owner, and the dtsad -1 Linder which he labours frol having been used 45 a sire, I think this Cataract will overwhehn nobody but his backers. Counsellor, the best cocktail in England, and winner of 14 races last year, with Bst. 21b., in such company as he will meet here, can have no earthly chance. His price is now 3(1 to 1. Mr. Jaques's Semieeria has a host of admirers, who think her chance of winning this Clip so strong, that they will take as little as 7to 1 about it. 'Site must be con sidered to be very well in with ist bib., bat as she has never yet evinced a capability of being able to stay a distance, and possessing merely great speed for a mile, or a mile arid a half, I cannot fancy but what she will find the course too long for her. ller match last year with Extempore must not be taken in.question, as she was much amiss at the time. Mr. Osbaldeston's Sorella, 4 vrs, 7st. 121 b., at 15 to 1, I consider a good investment. This mare ran extremely well last, year, and had she not been a little " off" at the time, would in all probability have put the Oaks into the pocket of her spirited owner. Her winning the Queen's Plate this week, beating Vibration and two others, was a most creditable performance, and showed she was getting into her old form. 1 expect to see Sorella there or thereabouts at the finish. The Era is a game horse, with a fairish turn of speed. Last year he won the Northumber land Plate, at 7st. llb., beating The Best of Three, and nine others ; and followed up his success by winning, at Liver pool, the Liverpool Cup, at Sst., beating a field of sixteen, including Pager, Truebov, Pompey, and Mickey Free. For the Goodwood Stakes, won by Franchise, The Ere, with Sat. 61b., was sixth, end would have been second to Alice for the Cup, had his jockey b:en aware there was any thing for the second horse. Looking therefore at his performances, I am of (pinion, that although he will run a good horse, yet the weight will operare ageinet him at the finish. Mr. A. Johnstone's Obscurity, who has for some time been struggling with Semiseria fur the premiership, is reported to be the representative of Messrs. Dawson's stable, and likely to turn out a second Alice Hawthorn. From her having only won a plate at Bieliniend, the handicapper thought sst. 121 b, a sufficient weight for her to carry, and it certainly will not break her back. But still her public run ning is not good enough for me to recommend her being backed, and if she does not get a place, I shall not be in the least surprised. Mr. Meiklam's Trueboy by some is fancied to be the " real Simon Pure" of Dawson's stable, and has been quietly backed by men who ought to keiew something about him to win a large stake, consider 'him a most useful horse, possessing stoutness, and speed of no ordinary kind. Last year he won five races at high weight and long distances ; and this year the way in which he defeated Portobello and Lightning at Catterich should not be lost sight of. Mr. Cuthbert's Queen of the Tyne, 6 yrs, 7st. 51b., will, if in her last year's form, I fancy run exceedingly well. Mr. Gully's St. Lawrence is a good deal fancied by some; yet, from his running at Bath last week, I cannot imagine he will have much chance, unless, which is very improbable, the race is run at a slow pace. Lord George Benthick's Pug, upon whom so many small investments have been laid out, in spite of her defeat for the 1,000 guineas by Estelle (sub sequently beaten by Lord Chesterfield's Poor Soldier), having only 4st, 81b, on her back, coupled with the ad vantage of being trained round a circular course, and of Young Kitchener to guide her, will beat many more than beat her. Had she not been run against in the Somersetshire Stakes I believe she would have won thin. As it was, she run very game. Of the Irish lot, the only one, I think, that will put in an appearance, is Ould Ireland, I understaad he is a slashing colt, well able to stay a distance, and has been " tried" and not found wanting. His running at the Curragh the week before last was excellent, and it' he does not suffer from the change of climate which Irish horses do sometimes, will, I think, be very likely to catch the judge's eye first. Portrait, with Est. 10Ib., is entrusted with some small sums by the admirers of Isaac Day. He was always a slow horse - and had great difficulty in beating moderate platers—how he is to win such a race as the Chester Cup, unless his speed has increased with his years, I am at a loss to imagine. The Dean is turned loose with Est. 61b., but he is about as old and slow as any of his namesakes; therefore I should not recommend any i,f my readers to take the tempting odds that may be had against him. From Winesour's position in the market. I doubt much whether he will go unless to take care of Fizallen. Intrepid I shall only notice because Agrippa's ghost has prophesied he will be the winner of this rich stake. - All I know of him is that he is a four-year-old cocktail leather plater, and although dangerous in such places as Stourbridge and Sandbaeh, yet with 6st. 61b. he has no chance at Chester with such high company. I have touched upon all the horses nearly that have been speculated upon, and although it is difficult out of so large a field to pick a winner, yet I fancy the owners of Sorella, Truebov, Ould Ireland, and Queen of the Tyne are the most likely to pocket the Chester Cup for 1845. TELEGRAPH. ROYAL THAMES YACIIT CLUB. MATCH FOR THE BELVIDERE CUP. The first sailing match of the season took pace on Saturday fur the Belvidere Cup, the handsome and muni ficent gift of the Right Hon. Lord Saye and S: le, by whom it was presented to the club, to commemorpt, the re-acceptance of the office of oummodure by W. H. rison, Esq. • The cup, which was manufactured by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, in shape somewhat resembles the G and Challenge Cup, which was m mufactured by Mr. Prior, of Newington-causeway, though its weight is not quite so much by eleven ounces. It stands upon a small square pedestal, the body b,ing supported by three dolphins, and on one side is engraved the following:—" Presented by the Right lion. Lord Saye and Sele to the R.T.Y.C. ;" the obverse side being left blank, in order that the victorious yacht may be engraved upon it. The border of the cup is composed of shells and set weed, and the two handles are formed of shells all beau. tifully wrought. The cover is surmounted by a figure of old Neptune, with his trident, standing on a rock, t rounded by waves, out of which a triton is in the act of rising. The whole is beautifully executed, and, as a work of art, is of the most elegant and chaste descrip tion. It is manufactured of silver, and after its exh:bi tion at the banvet which was g;ven to the Commodore, was sent back to the Messrs. Ruskell's to be gilt, but by some extraordinary negl,et it was not received on board the steamer until she arrived at Gravesend on the home ard pastlago. . . . „ The Iled Rover steamer, belonging to the Herne Bay Company, was enzaged by the club, for the accommoda• Lion of the members and their friends, and this fine vessel left the Adelaide-wharf, London-bridge, at a quarter past nine o'clock, with the largest and most fashionable company ever known at any of the former club matches. Amongst those on board we observed Earl Cadogan, Lord Uxbridge, Captain Freestun, Capt. Marryatt, Captain Durand, Messrs. W. Grimston, Rey nell, Fontain, .Pegg, Wilkinson, &c., besides a large con course of ladies. The weather, with the exception of a few- showers towards evening, was exceedingly propitious. The Comet (Blackwell), No. It) Waterman, S- .) ren, Matri mony, and Nymph steamers also accompanied the match. The Red Rover, after calling at Greenwich and Black well, at both of which places several additions were made to the company, arrived at Erith at twenty minutes pa-t eleven, and " hove to" in sight of Belvidere House, the beautiful residence of the liberal donor of the Cup, from wnose grounds the ensign and burgee of the Rayal Thames Yacht Club were prominently displayed. The yachts were riding quietly in the splendid reach opposite Erith, affixed to their "spring-buoys," their stations being as follovte Antagonist, 25 tons, London, H. Gunston, Esq., owner. Prima Donna, 25, London, C. R. Tatham, Esq. Champion, 25, Weymouth, T. P. Wickham, Esq. Belvidere, 25, London, Lord A. Paget Ino, 25, London, T. Meeson, Esq.

There had been a groat deal of betting on this race, and the odds at st trt iog were 3 to 1 agst the Blue Bell, 3 to 1' agst the Ino, 4 to 1 agst the Belvidere, sto 1 apt the Mystery. `fle Blue Bell and the Belvidere were hacked against the field ; and 2 to 1 laid that an iron boat won. t.-.:ome time 13111(10 75 to 25 was laid on the Belvid• re te.ainst the Blue Bell, and - taken by the owner of the latter. The Belvidere was steered by Mr e C. Stokes, the Ddybt?ry by Mr. J. Lee, the Blue Bell ny Mr. Sawyer, and the other yachts by their respeetive owners: There was a good stiff br,;eze from W.S.W., very fa vourable for running down, affording good working up. The distance was from Erith, roend a buoy off Chap man's Head, and back to Ur enwieh. At precisely half. past tav , lye o'clock the signal gun wits tired. The little Cygnet was first off, in company with the Widgeon, the Mystery being third, with the Inn and Blue Bell abreast ; and the others close together, with the exception of the Chainpion, who brought up the rear. The yachts, with the exception of the Widgeon, set their topsails, when the Myst• ry spanked away in gallant style, and took the lead before rounding Purfleet Point, the ()triers folloWing in this order:Blue Bell, Widgeon, Cygnet, Prima Donna. Champion; Belvidere, Inn, and Antagonist. In Long Reach the Inn and Antagonist took' the third and fourth places, and the little Cygnet . droving gradually astern of her -more powerful opponents, was soon out of the race. No change occurred with the leading yachts for some &stanee, and it would be im posing a te,inui task up , on .tur readers were we to notice the continual " cheps and changes" which occurred be tween those in the rear. In Northfleet Hope it blew great guns," and it was found necessary to lower the topsail of Prima Donna, who heeled over to such an extent that it was at one time feared by those on board the steamer that she would go over altogether. For tunately, however, nothing of the sort occurred, and without her topsail she appeared to go touch beater. The Belvidere, in St. Clement's Reach, took the fourth place, and off Coalhouse Point went by the Ino in splen did style, and was gaining fast upon the Blue Bell, wh, n the , topmast of the latter gave way a few feet from the " cap," and the Belvidere passed her to leeward. The Mystery was still headitte, and many thought from the admirable manner in which she was sailing, that she was going to "do the trick" again. The contest down to the rounding flag, betwet n thee two vesselA was most interesting, and it was not till within a few Coats' leegth of that point that the Belvidere managed to go bj , the Myst, ry, which she did in the most beautiful manner, and rounded the buoy ten secends in advance at eleven minutes past two. The Blue Bell was third, about a minute and a half afterwards, with the Inc close upon the latter; the Widgeon, Antagonist, Prima Donna, and Champion rounding in the order stated, the Atitagenist being five minutes behind the Belvidere, and the C!.ean pion six minutes in the rear of the Antagonist. Now commenced the " tug of war," as the yachts had to bent up to windward, and against the tide, which had about heurs yet to flow. All struck their top sails, with the exception of the Antagonist and Chare• pion. The Belvidere then took a splendid lead ; and it is in this description of sailing that her qualities were said .to be so preeminent. In coming through the Lower Hope the Inn improved her position, and went by the Mystery and Blue Bell, the latter having previously dis possessed the Mystery of the second place. To this lot the race was now left. In Sea-reach the Bell again resumed the second place, and from this point to the end of Gravesend-reach, gradually overhauled the Belvidere. Just below Gravesend, when close upon the latter, the Blue Bell put about, and the Belvidere did the same for the purpose of weathering the Bell. To avoid this, the latter again put down h er h e l m , b y w hi c h excellent mancnuvre she cleared the Belvidere in the most clever manner, and continued her Course in shore, whilst THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, MAY 5, 1845. the Belvidere steered for the Kentish shore, and taking a wide board, succeeded its weathering. the Bell on the next. tack, fatal aggilt obtaiPT the . 144 This cleym,etlaceavririg . .ott lq.arit; of .botk e t Vains loudly apulawled by those on board the steamer. All interest in the mach was now confined to the na.vements of the-e two yachts, but the doubts were not of long duration ; it was clez , aly evident that the Belvidere was " in her stays," and lost ground every board, whilst the Blue Bell, being what coursers would term a splen did " turner" and " worker," went away with the leaf, which she increased the further she went, and eventually passed the flag buoy at Greenwich twelve minu'es in advance of the Belvidere, the time beirg— The Blue Bell at 24 minutes past eight. The Belvidere at 36 minutes past eight. Immediately after the race, amidst the " pelting of the pitiless storm," the cup was presented tot Twisden Iledvres, Esq., the owner of the Blue Bell, by the Comm-dore, after drinking health, long life, and hap . - piness to the liberal donor, Lord Saye and Sele. We mu-4 not forget to mention another act of the extrema liberality of his Lordship in sending two cases of cham pagne on board the steamer for the we of the c,utipany. The arrangements of the day were admirably carried out by the commodore and stewards, who used their utmost cxerti,ns in securing attention to the wants and comforts of all oa board.

Sitt,—l am sad'y paired to witness the display of bigotry and bad feeling which have been manifested by a large portion of the English public on the proposed grant to Maynooth, inasmuch as I believe it will have a tendency to destroy that favour and grace with which otherwise it might have been received by the Catholic population of Ireland. But if, Sir, you had had an opportunity of attending the various meetings held in the country on the subject, as I have, and had heard the manner in which the religious feelings and passions of the people have been appealed to and worked upon, you would not be surprised. I will give you one instance. A meeting was held in the Subscription Room at Exeter, on Tuesday last, to pass reso. lutions against the grant. The meeting was o2ened by the Rev. Mr. Hocking of the Establishment, by reading a portion of the W0.,1 of Gad and prayer. He then addressed the meeting in one of the mo.•t intolerant, bigoted, and, in my opinion, the most unchristian speeches I have ever heard. He told the meeting tl.at the Roman Catholic priests of Ireland were at this day in the habit of grunting absolution to persons who confessed as to their Intention to commit a crime, aye, even if that crime was tnurder,and that he was bound by his office not to warn the intended victim of his doom, though he met him in the street! Now, Mr. Editor, is this true ?—if so, it is very awful. lam not myself, much read its these matters; in my heart and soul I believe it to be false, and if false then what a base hypocrite have we here: a man who had so recently been engaged in reading the Word of God and in offering a prayer to the throne of Grace, who could put forth such a statement for the purpose of stirring up ill will and bad blood between his fellow. creatures. A feeling specimen this of a minister of the Gospel of peace. But to the credit of the Establishment be it said, that I believe he was the only minister of it present. Next came the Rev. Mr. Cook ( Wesleyai.), whose portly size and well-poli►hed countenance showed at any rate that his religion was not one which made him eschew the good things of this world. He said he had read and heard a great deal about Pagans and idolators, but he knew of no idolatry half so bad as that practised by the Pa pists. It was true, hr said, the Pagans did make gods with their own hands, and afterwards fell down and worshipped them ; but then they paid some respect to them and took care of them ; but as to the Papists, after they had made their gods they put them into their mouths and rte them. Thus d►d this low-minded, vulgar man allude to the doctrine of the Eucharist. Can he tell us when the innovation of the real presence took place in the history of the Church? Would he knock down everything that he cannot square to his reason, if so, what would he have left to base his Christianity upon ? But I tire you, Mr. Editor. Suffice it to say, that every appeal to the bad passions of men, everything that was likely to stir up religious hatred and bigotry, here found vent, and from these divines who are quarrelling with the Roman Catholic priests for their participation in agita tion Ido sincerely hope, Mr. Editor, that when the sober-minded people of Englmd begin to reflect, and reflect they will, if you will give them time, they will see that this is but a very small boon for the wrongs which Catholic Ireland had received from Protestant England.—l beg to subscribe myself, Mr. Editor, your great admirer and constant reader, and Langford, May 2, 1845. NO BIGOT. P.S. The local papers will corroborate what I hare here stated. THE MAYNuOTH COLLEGE BILL. TO THE EDITOI? OF THE SUN. SlR,—Considering the public press as the legitimate channel of reply to printed circulars, I take the liberty of committing to your columns the following letter.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, E. TIGHE GREGORY, D.D., LLD., Rector and Vicar of Kilmore. TO CULLING E. SMITH AND JAMES LORD, ESQRS. Gentlemen,-1 have the honour of acknowledging the receipt of your circular, as Chairman and Secretary of 'the Executive Committee formed to oppose the Maynooth College Bill, as you are pleased to term the measure now occupying so much of the public time. I entirely agree with - you that " this is no common crisis," but dissent from the position that "we," 1. e. the Committee with which you act, "are fighting anew the battle of the Reformation ;" that brother Protestants are bound to "give you their confidence and co-operation ; that the policy pursued in this measure by Go vernment is alike subversive of truth and justice; or that expedi ency is necessarily opposed to principle." It is certainly no common crisis when the " Church militant," the Establishment and Dissenters, unite under the same leaders, form one holy, league and covenant, and re-echo the seine war whoop; still less so when the " battle of the reformation" is to be a contest, not for the extinction of bigotry, but, contrary to that Re formation's intent and principles, for its perpetuation. I humbly conceive that " brother Protestants" are bound to " co-operate" in furthering the great attempt that "righteousness and peace may kiss each other," and realising the injunction to promote "peace on earth, gond-will towards men," enlarge the circle, too long con tracted, of Christian charity, and diffuse that more liberal education which o'erleaps the narrow mind, softens asperities, and prostrates persecution ; sucn is the policy pursued in this measure by Govern. ment, marked out by, riot subversive of, truth and justice, and re. conciling expediency with principle! Like the Irish National F,ducation System, a great attempt to improve and propitiate, and, like it, meeting with all the opposition which every new design, even Christianity itself, has uniformly encountered from pride, pre. judice, interest, ignorance, and misconception. The education question has, indeed, had some tardy converts of late, who no longer consider principle and expediency irreconcil. able; and if the Premier's views are realised, a more quiet, or• derly, and moral populatioir will spring up under the guidance of an hig .. er grade of Roman Catholic Clergy, more enlightened because more educated. It the altar ceases to be a platform, and the pulpit a rostrum, the same consequences will follow the testing of the present meature, and its opponents become proselytes likewise to a moral expediency. Those, 1 trust, will be its consequences, and with this persuasion I can neither conscientiously forward your views, or unite in a factioos opposition to the Government ; ut, independent of those reasons, I conceive the clergy out of place in political discussions, which much impair their usefulness, and desecrate their sacred calling; and I would observe that many of my Rev. Brethren who, in Exeter Hall, widen the breach between Protestant anti Catholic, would he mere usefully, as well as more legitimately employed in their respective parishes by silently forwarding the work of con. ve,sion through the unostentatious means of " letting their light so shine before men that they may see their good works, and glorify our Father which art in heaven." It is needless to add that in the parish Kilmore I shall, as I have ever done, pursue the Lone course I pursued when adminis tmng that of H Jstanton, in Norfolk, for my son, namely dis countenancing any attempt at the Introduction of such a petition as you require; the forming of any deputation to overawe the Go vernment, or, generally, any measure tending to narrow the charities of the Gospel.-1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient humble servant E.

The Mayor declared VlscoUnt Loftus duly elided. Lord Henry Loftus, who was received with loud cheering, rose and returned thanks for his brother. Three cheers were then given for Lord Loftus, the Marquis of Blandtord, and the Mayor, after which Lord Henry Loftus was chaired round the town, pre ceded by a handsome display of banners and a good band of tousle.

LITERATURE. AIV, .THE OPPOIVEnS_OF 71[1.0 • MA.I 7 .IYQOTFI ,WRANt. By ne# 1 1 /4":- - • nal ; El.- • •-••-- - This gentleman publishednumerOfisletters in a Morn ing Journal some years since, relative to the Govern ment oflreland i and was strongly opplsed, if we re member correctly, to measures proposed by the Whigs, and generally approved of by the Liberals in both countries as remedies for Irish grievances. This pamphlet, however, exhibits a different spirit. Its object is to remove misapprehensions respecting the Catholic faith, to encourage peace and Christian charity among all classes, and to promote a measure which he believes to h e b ene fi c i a l to hi s coun try and to the United Kingd om generally. These are s t rong proofs ofrepentance, and, therefore, looking at this ephemeral production in that light, we are induced to call the attention of our readers to the subjoined ex tract<. - In reference to the charge made by some parties that the scheme is a " Popish plot," directed against British greatness and British glory, he says "Thera is something most unseemly in all this. No man .denies that the Catholics o: Ireland were subjected to grievous impoverishment by British rulers, for Bri tish purposes. Yet, now, when this comparatively , small proffer of liberality is made to them, an outcry is raised by those who pr- end to xceed all others iu liberality, and thousands Of petitions are concocted, in the hope of paralysing the hand by which the offering is tendered ! Such are the notions, and such the practice of our self styled admirers of British greatness and British glory ! Let them beware. R es i stance of th i s sort b ege t s and nourishes perilous remi n i scences w hi c h s h ou ld not ob tain any portion of public countenance or favour. They may, nay must L id Irish ag it a ti on , but they injure, in the same proportion, British face and British strength." And in another place, to show the utter hopeless ness of diminishin g th e num b er of C at h o li cs b y perse cution, he invites attention to facts : "There was printed in London, in the year 1689, a publication entitled—' A letter from Duke Schomburvh's Camp, giving an account of all the Papists in Ireland, their number and estates. &c., from the Camp at Dun dalk, November 4, 1689.' It will be found to contain the fallowing statement:—' The whole of them (Papists), men, women, and children, are but one million,—of which 40 or 50,000 in arms. . . There are four titular archbishops, 23 bishops, and 2328 parish priests.' "From the time when that letter was published a sys tem of Anti-catholic legislation was pursued, which I shall not distress myself or others by more specifically detailing, than by assuring those opponents of the May nooth grant, that it fully accorded with their views, and was expressly framed for their &elm ei purpose of pre nv in g martilic e thegrowth c of s a l r P es ° u P l e t r s Y C:f th L e7r t p t o h l ' ic s y e . opp onent amounted, Roman ed,,men, C w a o t rn h e ol n i , cs an ( d if ch l i r l e d l r a e n n d , , , w to h o o i n , e n mi l li G io B n 9 : are returned by the Commissioners for taking the Irish cetsTush,iiiri fart requires q as s i amounting resn o illustration but ! but I may, in reference to the present subject of May nooth, direct attention to the fact, that whereas the Episcopal offices are now precisely the same in number as they were in 1689, the number of parish priests, or rather parochial clergy, for the 6,427,712 of Irish Ro man Catholics in Is4l, was 2239, being actually less, by 89, than the number of parochial clergy, for the one million of Irish Roman Catholics in 1689, which we find stated to have been 2328." _ With a view to refute the accusation which im putes to Roman Catholic pastors the desire and habit to exclude from theircongregations the influence of the Sacred Scriptures, he publishes a pastoral charge of the Roman Catholic Prelates of Ireland, addressed to their clergy and congregations in the year 1824, in which the authority of the instruc tion given is made to rest chiefly upon these Divine revelations, and introduces it with the following re marks : " I entreat most particular attention to the lengthened extract which I shall furnish, in the first instance, from a grave and unquestionable record of that advice and instruction, framed, adopted, and promulgated, some years ago, by those Most Rev. and Right Rev. Prelates. On reference to the signatures affixed thereto, I should add, that the majority of those prelates were at the time, or had been closely connected with the College of Mayw)oth, either as trustee, superior, or student. I feel assured that whenever the hurly burly of the pre sent organised Anti-Catholic agitatiln ceases to hold possession of the mind, and restrain the exercise of reason, I shall be secure of obtaining the admission that such a document should be considered a better and safer test of Roman Catholic instruction, than the im putations of avowed and actively hostile opp.ments." TWO PILLARS OF THE CHURCH. This is the title of a sketch just brought out by H. B. It represents Sir Robert Inglis and Mr. Thomas Duncombe walking arm-in-arm. The Baronet, who looks very grave, does not seem to like his company, and is evidently anxious to shake off the new ac quaintance. The other is in a very gay mood, and enjoys the joke wonderfully. THE MAGAZINES-CONTINUED. COLIJURN'S UNITED SERVICE. The presont Number opens with a brief history of " Kolapoor and SawuntWarree," the disturbed dis tricts in Southern Mahratta, which are at present the scene of a " little war" in India. The article con veys information which cannot but be useful at the present time, and is drawn up i n a pl a i n an d under standable style. The "Spirit of Military Institutions," by Marshal Marmont, is continued, as are Captain Ilippesly's " Reminiscences of the War of Succes• sion in Portugal." Felix Grummel concludes his " Reminiscences of a French Prison." The history of his escape is well told, and is full of interest. Capt. Smyth O'Conner gives us the first chapter of " Twelve Months' Service in Western Africa." This chapter is devoted to an account of the colony of Sierra Leone, and of its capital, Freetown. The following account of the causes of its insalubriousness is well deserving the attention of the Colonial-office : " From the position of Freetown it i 3 and ever will be suited on7y for African constitutions. Placed at the base of a circle of hills, after heavy rains the surplus soil is washed down, forming a compost of red mud and ve getable rubbish, interse c t e d b y pools o f stagnan t water, which latter, were it not for the admirable drains run • ning in every direction to th e sea , wou ld inundate the houses in the lower part of the town. The action of a vertical sun on a mass of decomposed matter superin duces dense heavy and deleterious exhalations, and pro• duces thosefearful fevers that occasionally devastate the capital and almost depopulate the colony of its European inhabitants. In traversing the town, the effluvia from stinking fish, rancid palm oil, rotten vegetables, garbage of the most filthy description, and fcetid smell of naked negroes, concocts a villainous odour requiring a brazen nose to encounter. • "The supply of fish caught in the lagoons and bays near Freetown being considerably greater than is re quired for daily consumption a vast surplus remains un sold ; this is stewed, baked, or boiled with palm oil, and hawked about for sale in baskets or trays, or piled up in heaps in every direction, poisoning the atmosphere, and rendering a drive or walk through the capital of Sierra Leone by no means a recreation, or •an appetizer for a seven o'clock dinner. " Freetown and its•vicinity is insalubrious, not only from local ciuuntitances, but also from effects produced by the neighLoaring country and coast, effects which are beyond our control, over which we have no power, and for which there is no probable remedy.. I refer to the vast forests, uncultivated plains, deep jungles, and ex tensive swamps, covering the Bulom shores on the oppo site side, and ranning parallel to the promontory of Sierra Leone. hen the wind blows from this direction dis ease and mortality are snre to follow, ard the scourges which have periodically visited the colony may be easily and truly traced to this source. Nor do I see in what way, or by whit means the evil can be removed ; we hold no claim, authority or command over the Mending° country ; the natural indolence of its inhabitants forhids the idea that they would clear away these primaeval woods, to benefit or please the European ; their interests jar with our desire to enter their land, and consequently they are h stile to our making settlements in it. No minally they deal not in slaves, and the trade is by treaty abolished, but actually the hateful commerce flourishes rife as ever, and forms a vast source of revenue. Cunning. selfish, and bigoted, the Mandingos tolerate the Eaglish, only as long as they can give presents, or afford by cajolery or cheating, the means of acquiring money.' The author considers that Sierra Leone never can become an emporium where steady capitalists will risk their lives and constitutions even with the pros pect of acquiring rapid fortunes. It is, has been, and will be, the " white man ' s grave." Lieut.-Colonel my. The publication Wilkie, in an article on the " Defensive Force of the British Islands," suggests that more attention should be paid to the enrolling and disciplining the militia, so as to make it an efficient means of internal defence against an invader, and, as it was during the time of I of this paper is exceeding lywell-timed, and the sug- Wilkie merit gestions of Colone l the attentive consideration of the G o vernment.

The pre sent Number is one of the most interesting we have seen, yet amidst the numerous amusing contributions we miss the animated productions of the Editor. We cannot mgArd this work without a feeling of sorrow, when we reflect that he, td whom we owe so many happy hours and pleasing thoughts, should now lie powerle,s on the bed of sickness, unable to exert those brilliant talents with which he was wont, not only to charm the fancy, but to touch the heart. The magazine for April announced the mournful tidings that the life of Thomas Hood was in the utmost danger ; the present Number adds nothing to confirm our fears, and from its silence we venture to hope that our sad anticipations will not be realized, and that at some future day however distant, we shall again be cheered by the inspirations of his genius. The other contributors have done their utmost to make us forgot his absence. The first subject is a continuation of " the Tales of the Colonies, by Charles Rowcroft; it commences with a very interesting account of the daring escape of some convicts from Van Diemen's Land. " On the Picturesque" contains an instruc tive description of Etrasean Vases, and the Fine Arts among the ancients. The " Sword of Zuniga" is klegend of Hungary, founded on that romantic theme, the wars of the Moors and Christians. " Chronicles of the Fleet is the introduction to a series of tales relating to the unhappy inmates of that once crowded prison. The following remarks prove from experience that " Time" indeed " works wonders : " How vast and extraordinary have been the political events even in our own time ! Two great revolutions in France ; .the co.iital of Austria twice occupied by the victorious troops of a soldier of fortune, and saved from dismemberment only by the propitiatory sacrifice of the daughter of a line of kings ; Prussia twice conquered ; Russia invaded, and her capital burnt to save it from the occupation of the enemy ; Paris, the city of war riors, twice taken ; Portugal, Belgium, Greece, and the whole. of South America, revolutionised ; Spain re volutionised half a dozen times. To come nearer home : our own country,' he continued, may be said to have undergone two revolutions within the last sixteen years : The admission of the Roman Catholics to parliamentary and other rights,—a cone, scion undisguisedly declared by its Conservative propos( rs to be unavoidable to sate the nation from civil war and dismemberment ; and the Reform of Parliament in 1832, than eshich no more re markable revolution has taken place in history—the triumph of the national will over the hereditary pos sessors of parliamentary power. We are too near to the events,' he sail, to understand filly their extent or their results.' Do not forget,' said I, the social changes and im provements of the last few years—steam navigation and railways; and take into account also the wonderful dif fusion of information which has taken place during. the last half century, in the multiplication of books, and newspapers, and all sorts of cheap publications.' " It is impossible,' said my friend, with much earnestness, 'in considering all these political and social advancements and developments, to come to any other conclusion than this—that society is on the eve of some greater change than has ever occurred on earh. The spreading of information among the labouring classes, and the wonderful facilities which exist for the diffusion of knowledge, cannot fail, in a short time, to have a prodigious effect on the masses. With the moral power of intelligence ad led to the physical power of numbers, it would be idiotic fatuity to suppose that they would consent to exist in the state of wretchedness in which they now are;—then the change will eome, but whether by some means of social re-organisation which we cannot yet clearly see, or by some terrible social and political revolution, wilder and more devastating than the world has ever witnessed, is beyond the reach of human wisdom to divine.' " "The Fat Ox" is an amusing fable, illustrating the state of the currency ; the ox, while it was fed on paper rags, increased daily in strength and beauty, but when, through a fatal mistake, its food was altered to gold and silver turnips, of which the whole world did not contain enough for its support, the change in its condition was sudden and awful, the over-fat ox suffering for want of food, had hardly sufficient strength to support its undiminished burdens. "The Press" is on the subject of the Duke of 'Wel lington's supposed illness, and his angry letter to the Morning Post. Speaking on the subject of the re spect due to the Press, the writer observes : " In these times it would be absurd to attempt to deny the prodigious influence of the press on all classes of so ciety, from the highest to the lowest; that it has be come the daily mental sustenance of hundreds of thou sands; that it has power to set up or to pull down the strongest Ministry. These are truths not to be denied ; and those few who deny it with their tongues confess it by their fears. "It becomes a matter of the highest importance, there fore, that the controllers of this mighty engine of good or ill should be of a class and of a character commensu rate with the high duties which they have to perform; and it is clearly the duty and the interest of society to assign to them that social position which is due to the talents which are necessary for their vocation, and to the influence which they exercise upon the minds of the people. Anything that tends to degrade the conductors of the press pollutes the source from which only truth and virtuous thoughts should follow; and the mistaken neglect of society re-acts on society itself with most per nicious effect." " The Philosophy of Plagiarism " is an interesting discussion in extenuation of this species of theft. After alluding to the various authors from Virgil down wards, who have thought it no degradation to borrow from the works of others, the writer comes to the con clusion that they only are to blame who blindly copy others, without thinking for themselves. He admits that it is lawful to seek materials from foreign sources, but then it must only be for the purpose of fashioning them anew. " For it must never be forgotten that no man can be original in the vulgar sense of originality ; no man can draw solely from his own resources. • Sir,' said Dr. Johnson, man can coin guineas only as he has gold.' This is the point. Give the poet materials, he will fashion them : give him rough gold, and he will return you guineas. The greatest genius,' said Goethe, will never be worth much if he pretends to draw exclusively from his own resources.' What is genius but the faculty of seizing and turning to account every thing that strikes u; ; of co-ordinating and breathing life into all the materials that present them selves ; of taking here marble, there brass, and builling a lasting monument with them." DOLMAN'S MAGAZINE. The third Number of this periodical opens with an article entitled " The Genesis of Christendom, or the Beginning of the Middle Ages," the first of a series of sketches designed to illustrate the history of that obscure period. A more unpromising subject for the pages of a magazine could lnadly have been selected, for whatever records of the age remain present little else than an uninterrupted scene of barbarity, anarchy, and bloodshed. At the same time, it must be admitted that the task, though not a pleasing, is a most useful one, and the author has rendered the . article palatable by quotations from our best modern historians. This number likewise contains the biography of that arch impostor, Joseph Balsamo, better known as Count Cagliostro, whose extraordi nary impostures were for many years the wonder of Europe. The nature, extent, and success, of his im postures at this day seem incredible. " Fashion and fanaticism combined to elevate Cagliostro to a degree of general celebrity and estimation rarely attained by even illustrious men. Portraits of him adorned fans, rings, and snuff-boxes, medals—boxes and medals were cast of him—and beneath his bust were to be read the words Le devin Cagliostro.' " The vaga bond was born at Palermo, in 1743, and first gained notoriety by pretending to a knowledge of th e " bl ac k art." He sub s equently visited most of the European cities, which he laid under contribution, and his ad herents comprised persons of every class, even the highest. " 'raking the secrets of fremasonry for a grand work whereon to erect a gorgeous superstruc ture of mystery and imposture, he becam e th e apostle of a new sect or degree, to which he gave the name of the Egyptian rite, and of which, pretending to be the grand cophte, or master, he sue. ceeded in establishing lodges over all Europe." He renewed all the absurdities of the middle ages, and declared his knowledge of the philosopher's stone, and to the possession of a powder by which youth could be successfully maintained, and death successfully kept at bay. But the grand instrument of fraud was the masonic system. Cagliostro was initiated at Frankfort-on-the-Maine into the mysteries 'of the German illuminati, which is thus described " The candidate is conducted through a gloomy cor ridor into an enormous hall, of which the ro 4, walls, and floors are alike covered with black cloth, picked out with flames and snakes. Three sepulchral lamps at in tervals emit a dying glare, which enables him td distin guish piles of human remains, and a sort of altar entirely formed of skeletons. Here he is abandoned to his re flections for eight consecutive hours, at the expiration of which, enter phantoms. clad in shrouds, who, after wan dering for a time in dead silence, disappear through trapdoors, from the invisible opening of which exhale the most pestiferous odours. The candidatepasses twenty four hours in that darksome vault ; his energies are en feebled by a long fast ; he beholds three cups filled with greenish beverage ; he essays to drink, but turns with disgust away. At length arrive two seeming ministers of death. They bind the pallid brow of the candidate with a ribbon steeped in blood, place in his hands a metal crucifix, and hang certain amulets round his neck. He is then stripped, his clothes are thrown on a funeral pile; and crosses are traced with blood upon his body. In this state of suffering and humiliation, he is ap proached by five spectral figures, armed with huge sabres and enveloped in bloody draperies. Their faces are veiled—they fall to the ground, and remain for an hour as if absorbed in prayer. At the expiration of that time plaintive accents are heard. The pile is fired. The garments of the candidate are consumed theivon. A colossal figure is seen to advance, and the five pros trate men appear to fall into the most terrible convul sions. A trembling voice now articulates the oath which is to be taken by the candidate. He is made by it to swear, under the most awful penalties, that he will renounce every natural tie, forswear allegiance to all human authority, and respect l'aqua toffana, the deadliest of all poisons, as the grandest medium ever discovered for ridding the earth of the enemies of truth. The obligation having been taken, a candelabrum, with seven lighted tapers of black wax, is placed in front of the candidate. He is then plunged in a bath of blood and made to swallow a draught of it. A cold sweat seizes him ; from a state of delirious frenzy he falls into insensibility. . . . The ceremony is over, and a warm bath and a repast composed of various roots gradually restore him to his senses. Such are the hideous rites which the besotted votaries of superstition have pract is e d even in the eighteenth century. Csgliostro, after a run of twenty year=, at length fell into the hands of the Roman Inquisitors, and died in prison in 1795. The remaining articles we have not space to ob serve upon. As a fair specimen of the poetry of this number, we select the following " On a Wild Flower from the Grave of Burns" : See this wild flowret cull'd on the bard's lowly grave, Where its tribute of fragrance it modestly gave— 'Tis the symbol of him o'er whose relics it bloomed, The songster of nature, by nature entombed. Like this flowret, he grow all uncultur'd and wild— Untutor'd by man, he was Nature's own child ; And the dear fragrant sweets of his own teeming soul Breath'd gently around, without guide or control. The sweet scent of the plant has now faded away, But the songs of the Minstrel of Scotland shall stay ; And fancy shall hasten its homage to pour O'er the. grave where once blossom•'d this wild desert flower. FRASER'S MAGAZINE. Morgan Rattler has resumed his rambling remarks on Horace and others, with an interest fully equal to that which pervaded the first notice. This was only what might have been expected from a critic of taste and judgment ; for, of all the Latin poet; Horace furnishes the most animated descriptions of the human passions, and at the same time the most play ful fancy. He has nothing sour in his whole cha racter; he praises wine, but wine only to modera tion ; he invokes his friends to enjoy themselves, only to render life more agreeable, by using the "goo:is the gods provide," not by abusing them ; and even in his Satire 3 he points out the follies and vices of mankind with such a compassion for human weak ness, that he rarely gives offence by harshness, while at the same time he renders.virtue beautiful and vice hateful. Some of the translations given in the pre sent notice show a knowledge of the author, and famish favourable specimens of versification—among others, we may mention the translation of the Ode in which Horace recounts his cowardly flight from the field of Philippi. The three following verses will enable the classical reader to judge for himself:— Ponipey, that were the first my heart to share ? With whom full oft I've sped the lingering day, Quaffing bright wine, as in our tents we lay, With Syrian spikenard in our glistening hair. With thee I shared PhiPppi's fiery flight, My shield behind me left, which was not well, When all that brave array was broke, and fell ' In the vile dust full many a towering wight. But me, poor coward, swift Mercurius bore, Wrapp'd in a cloud, through all tl►e hostile din, While war's tumultuous eddies, closing in, Swept thee away into the strife once more. " A Holiday Trip to Gravesend and Rochester " is an amusing story, embodying historical accounts of these places, very suitable for the enlightenment of cockney's. The notice of Thiers' partial " His tory of the Consulate and Empire of France" under Napoleon is just. While he is admitted to be a spirited writer, and his accounts of battles graphic and interesting, the selfish national vanity which he displays, and the injustice he does to every character in any way opposed to his hero, are not overlooked. There is, says the reviewer, " no subject on which M. Thiers displays more malevolence, and ignorance, and misrepresentation, than on the right of belli gerents to search neutral vessels," but he has not yet read the third volume, for in that the ex-Minister throws all his other faults as a historian into the shade. The merits and demerits of the work are thus summed up—" It is the production of a brilliant Bonaparte partizan, who would again set the world in a blaze, for what is most sillily called the glory of France." On the Maynooth question Regina is very melancholy and desponding ; her darling state coachman is driving to perdition, she will no longer travel with him, and has absolutely left the " con cern." The growlings of Blackwood, and the awful forebodings of Fraser, prove, independent of our own conviction, that Peel is still an admirable driver, and that the old worn-out Tory party just require such a whip. Peel and the Irish Protestant Church, according to this far-seeing prophet, are alike doomed : " What are we to gain —what is Ireland to gain by increasing either the numbers or the condition of such priests as Maynooth has hitherto sent out, and must continue to send out, so long as they shall be forced to depend for their subsistence afterwards upon the volun tary offerings of their flocks ? Nothing. You must still look to the peasant class for recruits to your ton sured army, and experience 'has not taught us that a peasant priesthood, however highly educated, is any where, unless liberally provided for by the civil Government, to be trusted. " On the whole, then, we cannot but regard this peace making measure of the Conservative Government as a signal failure. It has done nothing, it never will do any thing, towards conciliating the class that are to be bene fitted by it, or withdrawing their attention from other things. The Repealers accept it as an instalment, and laugh in their sleeves all the while ; for they not unfairly calculate that, through the indignation which it has ex cited, both here and elsewhere, in the breasts of Protes tants, it will facilitate rather than impede the final triumph of the cause which they advocate. Meanwhile, there is universal distrust in the Conservative camp. All confidence in public men is shaken ; and the general feeling seems to be, that, though matters may go on smoothly during the continuance of the present Parlia ment, a terrible crisis awaits us. Let us hope that it is not so; aud, better still, let us be prepared. " Since the preceding pages went to press, Mr. Ward has proposed his amendment, which Sir Robert Peel re sisted, and the House of Commons threw out. Be it so; yet we confess, that as far as our perception of right and wrong goes, we really do not understand the morality of the proceeding. The Minister who did not scruple to assent, a few years ago, to the plunder of one-fourth of the Irish clergyman's property, in order to give it to the Irish landlord ; and IN ho has no hesitation now in rob bing, by Act of Parliament, the Protestant people of England and Scotland, that he may have wherewithal to endow permanently a Roman Catholic college in Ire land, need not, one would think, be very tender about applying the remaining funds of the Irish Church to any purpose which may seem to be desirable. He has not a shred of principle on which to rest his present obstinacy; for the principle, if partially conceded by the Whigs, has been altogether given by himself. Morever, our readers need not trouble themselves to speculate largely about this matte r. The Irish branch of the united Church is doomed. A Conservative Government has signed its death-warrant, and Sir Robert Peel, if he be Prime Minister a few years longer, will do the office of executioner." ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BRI TISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY. The fortieth annual meeting of this Society was held on Saturday at twelve o'clock, in the large room of Exeter Hall; Lord John Russell in the chair. On the platform, besides the Noble Chairman, we recognised Sir George Grey, M.P. ; Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P. ; Mr. Hawes, M.P. ; Mr. Vernon Smith, M.P. ; Mr. Samuel Gurney, Dr, Lushington, Mr. Burnet, Mr. Richard Taylor, Mr. Tooke, Dr. Campbell, and the Rev. Robert Ainslie. • The•NOBLE Loan, on taking the chair, was received with loud cheers. He said he was sure it was unnecessary for him to say much on behalf of a Society that had existed for so many years, and whose principles were so well known, and which had been de. cared from the beginning a society whose object was to ex_ tend education to all classes, upon the most liberal principle=, and whose triumph had been so complete. He was sure that no fresh arguments need be used iu support of the great objects the Society had in view. The declared principle of the Society was, that no solid or incontrovertible basis could be laid down for education but the Holy Scriptures ; and it had, there. fore, been declared from the beginning of this Society that the education of the children of the people should be conducted on a foundation of instruction in thelHoly Scriptures— instruction irrespective of creed'or catechism. He must say that experience had but confirmed him in the opinion of the soundness of the general policy of the Society. In look ing over the Church Articles he found that nothing was required in points of faith but what was to be found and read in the Holy Scriptures. On that foundation all Protestants were content to rest. They were agreed that nothing more was necessary as a foundation of faith than the Bible. Diver sities in opinion may, and some of those important diversities did exist, but with respect, to the leading principle of their respective creeds they were all of one mind. He fully agreed with his much .respected friend Mr. W. Allen, that there was no solid basis for the instruction of the people but the Holy Scriptures.— (Loud cheers.) But to instruction in these there were added, by this Society, arithmetic, geography, the various branches of the arts and sciences, in all which great progress had been made. But great as was the progress, there was still room for further improvement, suggestions on which would be found in the report of the Society about to be read to the meeting by the secretary. He would conclude by re commending the Society to their continued - patronage and support, and he begged leave to add, that he was instructed by his brother, the Duke of Bedford, to intimate the renewal of his subscription of 1001. The Noble Lord concluded amidst great cheering by calling upon the secretary to read the report. The SECRETARY then proceeded to read the annual report of the Society. It set forth that the model school of the Society contained at present 700 boys, and from three hundred to four hundred girls. There had beets admitted since the establishment of the school 44,626 children. The number of students at present in the Normal College was two hundred and seventeen, of which 154 were attending the classes. During the present year the number of the students admitted had been 272, which, with 97 brought over from last year, made a total of 371. Of these, during the year, 264 had been appointed to schools in various. stations at home and abroad. The report went into a IC7ag and elaborate statement of the proceedings of the Society in the various quarters of the globe during the past year, and concluded by inti. mating that the finances of the Society were in a more flourishing condition than for some time past. The TREASURER read the balance-sheet of the receipts ando th i s penditure of the Society for the past year.

He considered no argu ments from him were necessary in support of the resolution he had sectarian or to the principles of the Society , b b ec ut a o u n se th rt e w broad no b t as e faith as laid down in the Holy Scriptures. Mr. VERNON SMITH, M.P., briefly seconded the resolution, which was put from the Chair, and carried unanimously. Dr. Lusurscrrow moved the second resolution, and declared his steadfast adherence to the policy of the Society, which he con. sidered had done an immense amount of good. The Learned Gentleman entered into a statistical statement, showing that crime and ignorance were always to be found associated together, and that the only way to reduce the one was to extend the other. For this important object, he considered no Society better calcu tthheegrreesaoriuptrinognreesxspwrehsiscihvethoef S t u ll e iety sat h i a sf d ac m tio ad n e d o u f ri t n h g e lated than the British and Foreign S c h oo l Society. He concluded b m y ee m ti o n v g in at g the past year. The Rev. ROBERT AINSLIE seconded the resolution. He was connected with another Society, established upon a similar prin ciple to the present ; it was the Congregational School Society, which had raised, upon the voluntary principle alone, for educa. tional purposes, the sum of 70,009/. There was one point in the recent policy of the present society to which he decidedly objected; he meant the receiving from the Government the sum of 7501. annually for the support of their Normal schools. He had great faith in the voluntary principle, and lie objected to taking Go vernment money, whether for a British and Foreign Society, Normal school, or Air Maynooth College.—(Great cheering.) The resolution was put and carried by acclamation. Several other resolutions expressive of the confidence of the meeting in the general policy of the Society, and calling upon it for renewed exertions, were severally put and carried. They were spoken to by the Rev. Joseph Crowther, the Rev. Dr. Bart, of Wir ternberg, and the Rev. John Aldis. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, when the met* Vg,which was a very full and respectable one, separfo• -,~,~_.. PARLIAMENTARYBUSINESS. FKIDAT, Mxr 2.
