Duette, Sam ___
The statement of the Ereniay Post, that the Earl
of Dunraten had been received into the Roman
catholic church on Sunday last, turns cot is have
been at least premature, and arose probably eat of a
hoax practised in Limerick, by which nomasms of
people there were induced to go on Sunday assesiag
to Adare for the purpose of witnessing the calm-
Dial. It appears. however, that the noble earl dime&
on that day with Bishop Ryan on the occasion of the
triennial visitation of that Roman catholic prelate
at Adore, the splendid new Roman catholic church
in that locality being built by Lord Dunraven. Mr.
blouse'', NI.P.; Sir `'ere de Vere. Bart. ; Mr. Ryder,
son of the late Bishop of Litchfield; Mr. Aubrey de
Vere, and Mr. Stephen de Vere, all converts to the
Roman catholic church, were present at Bishop
Ryan's discourse on the occasion.

Recent accounts from Mr. S. O'Brien state that
the general health of that unfortunate gentleman
was improving, but that his vision was greatly im-
paired.

ber, eel in quality decidedly superior to that of last

Lord Moines& said it was arterial the government
should make knows the report of the commissioner. ap-
pointed to inquire into the relative capabilities of Galway
Bey, or the River Shannon for selection as the Wasters Paco,
het Station. He complimented Mr. Long, C.E., for the very
obis pamphlet published by him in coanesion with the mobs
Jeet, and said no selfish vices would induce him to Male
se-operation if the report of Capt. Beeehy and his collieries
was in favour of Galway, as the question was a national one,
mai should be considered as such. Al yet they were is
• soft of uncertainty anal doubt upon the subject, as, with
She eseoption of the communication transmitted to the
Members of the Chamber of Commerce by their worthy city
tative, Mr. Russell, to whom the citizens are in-
MIN the promptness with which he acted on the sera-
see, sad who was at his post in time, no other intelligence
baying has received. His lordship was personally obliged
to Mr. Russell, from whom he had received a letter to the
tame elect. As he (Lori! Mouteagle) understood the re-
port had palmed from the Admiralty to the Baard of Trade,
application should he made to b oh. When he formed one
of a deputation to Loodon on the subject of a packet sta-
tion, he undertook to unite in forwarding the prosperity of
whatever port was selected, and by that promise he was
still bound. To the enterprise and industry of the mer-
chants of Belfast his lordship paid a high compliment,
and rammed a hope that if it should turn out as he ex-
pected it would, that the commissioners' report is in
favour of the Shannon, that the people of Belfast would
come forward to sustain a project of such great national
importance. At the other side of the river, on the north
strand they bad • conspicuous example of the enterprise and
spirit of the merchants of Belfast, and beheld in their own
city a magnificent and extensive flax factory which is ap-
proaching completion by the highly reepectab.e firm of the
Messr,. Russell. He was not one of those who expected
too much by the establishment of a packet station in Ire-
land, no matter which port was selected—neither did he
deem it prudent to create a jealousy in the minds of the
people of Liverpool, of Manchester, or London, by as-
suming the ridiculous idea that all the business will be
drawn away from those `daces. Celerity of postal com-
munication u the chief object, and to that alone the go-
vernment looked. After adverting to the relative ad.
vantages of the Shannon and Galway, his lordship threw
out some suggestions in refertass to the construction of •
railway to Foynes and Tabu,.
