Another catholic bishop,. Dr. Walsh, of Cloyne and
Roes, has died. There is a rumour that Father
Mathsw's will be one of the names selected. His
election would give great satisfaction, and be hailed
by all parties with the utmost pleasure, and a
worthier wearer of the mitre it would be impossible
to find, or one whose services to religion and morality
are greater.

who think they can rule the destinies of this
great empire, that " oppression maketh even wise
men mad.' A mole oppressive, • more cruel, • more unjust
or a more dangerous course was never yet taken against any
country than that which the whig advisers of her Msjesty
are bent upon pursuing with regard to Ireland. They seem
to think that because a few policemen quelled a phantom of
rebellion which had no real existence, there is no extent of
severity which it will sot be safe for them to practise. One
thing, however, we tell theta they cannot do. They cannot
exact repayment of their loan from a community whom their
policy and their rale have already made penniless; and if
they penist in the attempt, they may plunge both themselves
and the objects of their persecution in disasters, of which no
man sun foresee the end.

THR INDUSTRY AND BENEFACTORS OT IRILAND
There is en article in the correct number of the Dublin,
University Magazine, called " Ireland's Industry and Ire-
land's Booefactors," which merits attention. It records the
niccessee in reprodnotivo employment, which in various
parts of the county have been obtained by painstaking per-
sons. Boma of the [aft mentioned in this article are very
creditable to oar people, and show that under kindly and
judicious treatment the much abused Celts can work
as well as the people of any ether race. The article enforces
the dxtrine that the true help for Ireland ia to be
found in the energetic exertion of the influential duals in
developing the latent resources of the country; and it
adduces a variety of evidence to show that grants from par-
liament are not so much wanted as Irish landlords would
assert. Witnesses amongst the Protestant clergy, of all the
