says :—" No clue has yet been obtained to the fate of
Mr. O'Grady, about whom the deepest intermit colic
limns to prevail, not only in his own neighbourhood, but
in several parts of the country, where he was well
known and highly respected as an excellent landlord, •
good neighbour, and a pannier country gentleman. In
the family circle he was greatly beloved, and he lived on
must affectionate terms with his wife, who lately
brought him a considerable accession to an already very
large fortune."

round an address to Lord Palmenton, which has already
been signed by Lords Duraven, Southard!, &Hew, and
Killeen, eight members of Parliament, fifteen Marquises,
four Baronet+, and several mercantile men. The ad-
dress sets forth the desire of the memorialists to preserve
to the Pope his temporal possessions, but, at the same
time, they state that they are not indifferent to the
interests at the people, and feel assured that hia Moll-
DM has • heart to carry on the reforms which be bad
commenced.

PAPAL DEMONSTRATION IN DURLIN.--An "aggre-
gate meeting," convened by 1/r. Cullen, was held in
I/üblin on Monday. Dr. Cullen took the chair, and de-
livered a long and violent harangue. Ile began by de-
claring that the enemies of tdie Pope were the defenders
of sedition, of the dagger, revolution, immorality, and
infidelity. As for the French Emperor, " Imitating the
Jews in the Court of Pilate, anxious to blind the public
by profession,' of respect towards the Pope, and :by
adulation, hemming the mask of religion to conceal his !
wicked designs, lie would cover Christ's Vicar with a
purple garment, and place a sceptre in his hand and a
crown on his brow, but only with the view of converting
these emblems of roy•lty into instruments of insult,
mockery, and torture." [Jr. Cullen then insisted on the
loyalty of the Roman Catholics, and asserted that, when
the Oraagemen were suspected of aiming to exclude her
Majesty from the throne in 114:37, the Irish R4llllllO
, Catholics came forward to defeat the conspiracy. After
a long speech is the same strain, Alderman Reynolds,
late Ml'. for Dublin, and others, addressed the meeting,
The former was heartily hissed for reiterating the Roman
Catholics were loyal.
