"How POPERY GOVERNS IRELAND.— Disaffection to
the English tioverinneut is as deep and wide al ever it
was. The mass of the (Roman Catholic) people spupa-
thisea with the French, iiy mpstliised with the Aniericans.
sympathised with the Russians, sympstbised with the
Sepoys. During the Crimean war, though half our
troops were Irishmen. the popular (Roman Catholic)
newspapers delightd in exaggerating all our losses. and
in praising the 1t.U.:11139 and French to our disadvantage.
Thu anti-English feeling is such that no one who h-is
hell office has any chance with a p molar Irish (Roman
Catholic) consiimency. Religious enmity wages more
fiercely than ever. IJo not think that the people like
priests more thou they did, but they fear them more.
Everybody seems to fear them more. Scarcely any Rei-
man CallitiliJ will come forward ha support of my Regis-
tration Bill. because it is fuared that the priest will
oppose it. Foruonly each Roman Catholic Diocese was
a world of its own, under the rule of its bishops, and
the bishops were roller Roman Catholics than Papists.
Now Archbishop Cullen, who is tiltramontane, is con-
, verting the church iuto a iuonarchy, with the Pope for
its King, sad himself for its Viceroy." Swami W.

Sin,—Permit me, through your columns, to draw the
attention of the Inspector of Nuisances or Surveyor of
Highways. to the shocking state Hill-street is in, and
has been for sometime past. That a public street should
Irc made a•• dumb well of by nearly if not quite all
the occupants of houses in that street, and gutters
eh vet to be insde eight or nine inches deep. across and
, down the middle of it, is disgraceful, besides being a
1 aum sery for all manna of diseases. A Highway Rate
a I believe, annually made and paid. and surely solve-
thing might, nod ought to be done, towards suppressing
this nuisance.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant.
