Deere, AreireT
A feeling prevails pretty generally here at present
that goiernment really intends, after all, to put
the law in force against certain assumption. of
ecclesiastical titles, arid that we arc to have state
prosecutions as one of the result' of the late aggre-
gate meeting. How this is to be done people arc
pussling themselves in vain to guess. The Irceman
affects to believe that it is all bluster, and that no
tion will be attempted; and the Efrain!,
rarer the purpose, it is to be presumed, of raising
difficulties in the way of the supposed intention of
the executive, objects altogether to any prosecution
L the present stage of affairs. The Mail says :
The Raglish press, ignorant where the real strength of
the case lies, as strongly disposed to echo the popular cla-
mour and require an immediate prosecution. For our part
we do not think it signifies a farthing whether a line be
k•isd of the violater. of the anti-pawl act, as long as it
is clear to all good subjects that they have put thsniselves
in the wrong by defying the law. The mural effect of
the it disohience will be more injurious to the cause,
which they are endeavouring by such means to uphold,
than any triumph that might be gained over them, by
carrying out the penalties of the new act. 'The more they
are kit to swagger about in their stolen trappings, the
area'' r odium they will bring upon themselves. They
have not we yet received the support of the respect-
able and influential members of their own church.
The whole Roman catholic nobility, all the gentry,
and whatever there is of moderation or of regard
Fir reline decency and morality among the clergy,
stand off from them. It is plain enough, then, why they
are so anxious to bring upon themselves an attack from the
government; which, in the heat and animosity of the con-
test, would in all probability gain them sympathy in
quarters where their present violence is looked upon with
unmitigated disgust. This manifest desire of the leaders,
both laymen and clericals, to produce a disturbance of the
Popular mini, by a contest with the law, would of itself
justify a considerable degree of hesitation, on the part of
the authorities, about taking active proceedings. The
government ought to have prevented that browbeating con-
vocation at the Rotunda; bet, having permitted it, and
seeing what a wretched failure it was as a demonstration
of Roman catholic wealth, rank, or intelligence, their
wisdom would now he, according to the new slang term,
to ignore the affair altogether. Let Doctor Paul Cullen
strut and tot his h..or upon the stage; and let Mr. John
Rey llolll* put up his bright sword tor some future occasion.
1/wherry's advice with regent to those that are dnink,
commends itself, in such a ease, to common reason and to a
proper sense of official power and dignity : " Let them
alone till they arc sober."
An indirect invitation has been held out to the
clipper yacht, America. to visit Irish waters. The
following yachting intelligence appears in a Dublin
paper this morning :
We have heard with much pleasure that the arrange-
ment, connected with the late regatta terminated so eatis-
(artery to all parties, that the sum of 100/. (with a prospect
of its being increased) ha. been placed at the disposal of the
committee of the Royal St. George's Yacht Club, to be
offered as a prise foe yachts of all nation*, of every size and
rig, without limitation of any kind, provided the America is
amongst the competitors. he noble Commodore of the
St. theirge's Club (the lareiiiis Conyngliam) has under-
taken to make the net. scary communication to Commuslowe
filevens, and has promise el, on the part of the yachting club
here, an Irish welcome to the mans of the west should they
be induced to sport the " e'ens and stripes" in these waters.
Tho citkocale, writing from the latest intelligence ,
received from the rural districts, has the following
on the subject of the potato blight:
Notwithstanding the conflicting accounts relative to the
regrew of the diwase, we Audi we no reason to elm's a
different opinion from that which we gave lag week us to
the geneses' state of the crop. The appearance of the dis-
ease is manifest almost everywhere on the stalks, but us yet
the tuber* have not been much affected ; nor dots the die-
Vise appear to he making progress. The ezperieuce of the
past he, pure thaws that it may generally appear without
doing mach injury. The foliage may be affected without
the potatoes Ming injured. Iliwased tuber. may, no
doubt, lie occasionally met with. Though it is impossible
to predict with any c eilidenee what the issue may he, we
yet see no grounds Ow alarm. The anxiety which very
naturally prevails at the present time should art as a
weaning against the et meal cultivation of the potato
in future; and (Avner. who speculate largely in such a
'cameo( chance as phlsto culture now Ile-serve little min-
niimeration fur its destruction by the disease.
The strong sin& and ruin which have prevailed
for some days pest have considerably retarded the
harvest work. The Limerick l'Aromirle says:
to *olllr paces wheat, ~at., and barley is partially lodged
in the field., but no wellies damage is apprehended. The
pitato crop continues to improve., and the inure that am
dug out proves to demonstration the falsity of the reports
circulated with regard to the blight having attacked them.
There were IMO loads at market this d_ay, all sound, and
selling at from ed. to pee atone. We had to-day .snout
20 kmds of new wheat at market, quality good, end sold at
12.1. to MI. per stone. A few Made of oats in to-day, and
sold at RI. per stone.
