THE IRISH PAPAL BRIGADE.

There are further accounts of the success of the
Pope's recruiting sergeants, and of resignations in the Irish
constabulary, the men exchanging the Queen's lively for
the uniform of the Irish Papal Brigade. The Limerick
Ezamisier reports as follows :—" Notwithstanding the
recent proclamation, the movement to raise in
Ireland a bripde for the service of the Pope
is said to progress with steadiness and rapidity. The
North Riding of Tipperary has already furnished a con-
siderable contingent, and in the south there are numbers
of young men of respectable families and position who pro-
fess themselves ready and willing to support the came of
the Pope. Throughout Tipperary and Limerick the police
are everywhere resigning. Yesterday morning 15 young
men left Limerick, en rnate for Rome."
The Cork Examiner of Wednesday says :—" Up to yes-
terday six sub-constalges had tendered their resignatios,end
it in stated that several others have it in contemplation to
follow their example. Some of these have been in the ferce
six and eight years, and allege as a reason for the change
the low salary at present doled out to them, which is about
equal to the wages of the humblest labourer. They pur-
pose emigrating to a land where, it is hoped, their servims
will be more highly prized."
A letter from Drogheda remarks:—"The enthusiasm for
emigration to Italy still continues here in Drogheda as well
as in the neighbouring district,. There are forty members
of the constabulary stationed in this town, and out of these
no less than ten of the finest men in the lot have just ten-
dered their resignations in the usual way. Their withdrawal
from the force at this particular tune is ominous. Of course,
they have stated no cause which led them to come to such
a resolution. About thirty out of the forty members are
Roman eatholue, and it is the opinion of the people that
all the latter will resign and enrol themselves in the brigade,
as there are very attractive promises held out to them in
bounty and pay."

Mr. Page, the Inspector-General of Mails,
visited Southampton yesterday to inspect the post-offices on
board the Oriental packets, in order to see what improve-
ments can be made on board the new Holyhead and Dublin

a.m. They are to leave Holyhead at 11.10 a.m. and 11.40
p.m., and reach London at ti. 25 p.m. and 6.55 a.m. The
whole of the Irish letters are to be sorted during the jeer-
nit, and voyages between Loudon and Dublin. The land
