the Clergy, Protestaitt and CallioliC, bate hillier.° pre-
relived 1.1).0 from the 0111111i1*1011.
The t her. Dr. Ulieity, Catholic Archbishop of
*roam, has taken a most at:hue:hid laudable past its this
work of peace and humanity. '• a t the risk of ui. Isle,
says the hews Cueelie, " be wean to those places where
this midnight wiok was said to carrying 011 with
rigour, and exhorted them feelingly, polluting out tile
ruintainy of their cruise, and die just punishment which
:tastier or later must hollow : so ellectital was his
reasoning, and the threat held out to :hem, that they tall
surety themselves at his feet, and in the presence of till tr
God and their pastor, promised to resist, even at the
expense of their lives, any future ititrusious of muse
emissaries 01 darkness."

Hy the efforts of this exemplary prelate, aided by his
parochial clergy, Gaiw y has in a great measure bees'
preserved front the coutagion.; yet the magistrates are
on tilt aim. Au a•jcturtted meeting of then► was held
at Moylutigh on Wednesday; his Glace the Archbishop
and Lord ,Cionbrock also attended. Atter a inmate
investigation of the present state of the baronies rat
Bally 'nue, Ty-opine, Kill. an; and Dunmore, it was
mu al necessary to have a police established in each
barony; and by a general cuncurreoCe of the meeting
they ware proclaimed.
That the principle now in partial operation has been
tr►ost inveterate, will be snamiest from a fact which we
shall now state. The Cativolic Clergy of the Arch-
diocese of Twin had to resort " to •tie of the severest
unties of their religious orders, in consequence of the
refractory spirit of two Ullibrlllthile Meal who reside in
toe parishes where the Archbishop preached on the two
preceeding Sundays. It appears these uncut, alter the
admonition of his Lordship, launched into the must
'tunable expressions, and entleaa oared to g.io over to
their racks the people. Never were seen so many pri-
sons within the walls of that chapel, or a ceremony
which excited such awe. The Rev. B..lirke explained
to them the office they bad that day to perform, in
cutting away from the church these two deluded men,
and said, ti►at nothing would deter them from perse-
vering ►n their clerical duties, even at the risk of their
Ines, until disaffection was -driven from among them
The terror caused j ttttt lig the country people was also
visible, by the :diming manner in which it wa► ex-
plained, in Irish, by Mr. Fitzpatrick. This was the
first ceremony of excommunication ever remembered u.
foam."

The conduct of the clergy in the county of Mayo has
litell equally exemplary anti successful. On last Suittlay,
upwards of 1,000 ()I the peasantry of Mayo assembled at
the chapel of Dryades, and preferred a complaint to
Mr. Denis Browne, "of various attempts which had
been lately made to force them into rebellion. They
had hitherto, they said, resisted those efforts, and would
continue to do so, if they were afforded the memos to
protect themselves. They ctiose six men Irons amongst
Mem to be appointed special cons.ablea, who imutedi-
ately took the oath of allegiance at the alyar, and swore
to discharge their duty in every- respect, parti-
cularly in apprehending any person who sl Id attempt
shake their loyalty, and bring upon them the Lenora
reoellion."
