Inauguration of the Statue of Father

Mathew.

(from the Times Correspondent.)

DUBLIN, Oct. 10.
The public have been made acquainted with the career o
Father Mathew, "the Apostle of Temperance," by the ex
cellent "life" of him lately published by his friend and
fellow-labourer, Mr Maguire, M.P., the present Mayor of
Cork. The principal parts of his remarkable history may
be briefly recalled to the recollection of our readers. Theo-
bald Mathew was a native of Tipperary, having been born
at Thomastown, five miles west of Chisel, on Oct. 10,1790
HO was of good family, and had aristocratic connections.
He presented a striking illustration of the saying that the
child is father to the man, being remarkable in his youth for
benevolence, gentleness, and piety. Having evinced a desire
to become a priest, he entered Maynooth in. his 17th year, but
he was prevented by circumstances from finishing his course
in that college. He became, however, a priest of the order of
Capuchins; and, being sent to the friary of that order in
Kilkenny, he soon became popular and influential in
consequence of his ability and earnestness as a preacher.
He was removed from that " mission " to Cork, where
he laboured fox forty years—nearly to the close of his
career—in a place called "the Little Friary," Black-
amoor-lane. He had won for himself a position of corn
mending influence by his unceasing labours in the cause
of philanthropy, when his attention was particularly
directed to the prevalence of intemperance among the work-
ing classes in the south, and the miseries it entailed. There
had been a temperance movement in Ulster conducted by
a few Presbyterian ministers, and some members of the So-
ciety of Friends gave it their entire support. But it was
evident they could produce little effect among Roman Ca-
tholics, who must be moved through their religious feelings,
and that could be done only by one of their own priests. It
was under these circumstances that a fellew.townstnan, Mr
William Martin, pressed upon the Capuchin friar the duty
of devoting himself to the temperance cause, After much
delberaion Mathew conquered the modesty and diffi-
dence of his nature, and entered with his whole heart upon
his great mission. The t fleets he produced excited astonish-
ment and admiration wherever they became known. Not
only in the south and west, among Roman Catholics and
people of the Celtio race, but among the Saxons of Lein-
s•er and the sturdy Presbyterians of Ulster, the marvellous
influence of the humble trier was felt. He was also most
warmly received in England and Scotland. A reformation
unparalleled in modern times was effected through the in.
strumentality of his preaching and the administration of
the temperance pledge. The charm of his goonnees, his
earnestness, his loving and charitable spirit, which knew
no distinction of party, and scarcely any distinction of creed,
won all hearts. A priest of such a spirit, labouring so dis-
interestedly in such a cause in Ireland, struck people as a
phenomenon so strange as to be almost a miracle in
itself; and it is not wonderful that the Roman Catholic
peasantry, and oven some Protestants, believed that he was
gifted with miraculous power. But his mission involved
him in pecuniary difficulties, and debt weighed heavily on
his mind for years. Then came the famine of 1847. During
that terrible year he made almost superhuman exertions to
save the starving people, and exerted his influence most
usefully in recommending and furthering the measures of
the Government for the same object. But his labours and
anxieties were too much for his strength. In 1848 he was
smitten with paralysis. Partially recovering he went to
America in the summer of 1849 in order to reclaim and ele-
vate his countrymen in the United States. His mission was
successful, but his health gave way again, and he returnee
to Ireland in 1851, broken down and disabled, but true ana
brave to the last. He lingered on for five years, and he died
at his work on the Bth December, 1856, in the 66th year of
his age.
It was generally felt that such a public benefactor should
have an enduring monument erected to his memory in the
principal scene of his labours, and the appeal made to the
public for funds was responded to with the utmost alacrity.
The late Mr Hogan received a commission for a statue of
Father Mathew, and he had made some progress in the
work when the hand of that distinguished artist was pre-
maturely arrested by death. This calamity caused consi-
derable loss of time. At length Mr Foley, R.A., was in-
duced to undertake the task, which he has completed in a
manner which has won the admiration of every one who
has seen the statue, which was this day unveiled in the pre-
sence of an immense multitude of spectators. In every re-
spect it is considered to be a masterpiece, even more success-
ful as a likeness and in the propriety of the attitude and cos-
tume than the beautiful statue of Goldsmith, by the same
artist. The dress of Father Mathew was peculiarly suited
to artistic purposes, so that it needed only to be literally
copied, which has been done to perfection. The long frock
coat with standing collar, the cloak placed loosely on the
shoulders, and hanging in easy and graceful folds, and the
half-military and half-clerical boots reaching to the knee
breeches were habitually worn by Father Mathew, just as
they appear in this bronze statue. The face is an excellent
likeness. The ample hair crowning the full benevolent
forehead, the grave, thoughtful, but sweetly benevolent fea-
tures are likewise faithfully given. Nothing can be better
than the position. The Apostle of Temperance has the right
hand extended, as it addressing the people, or about to ad-
minister the pledge to the kneeling postulates, while on the
16thighh, has been designed
high, including the plinth.
left arm is raised a portion of the cloak, and in the left hand
is placed a temperance medal, and on the breast is suspended
a cross. The statue has been most successfully cast by Mr
The
pedestal,which London.

John Francis Maguire, M..,
The statue was placed on the pedestal on Saturday, and
standsstan 9 s 1 8 t
in
covered with a scarlet robe, surmounted by a wreath of
white flowers. The unveiling was effected on a new plan
worthy of imitation. The robe Vas so arranged that by
pulling a string it disappeared instantaneously.
The procession attracted immense numbers. The whole
population seemed to be in the streets, or thronging the
windows and balconies along the whole route, which was
about a mile and a half long. The procession took an hour
and 45 minutes in passing. The weather was most fa-
vourable, and the whole effect was exceedingly animated
and brilliant. It was quite surprising that a provincial
city like Cork could turn out its trades in such large num-
bers and with such splendid decorations. The first carriage
conveyed the Mayor of Cork and the corporate officers •
after this the six private carriages; the Mathew Committee,
with their guests, went next in seven carriages; then came
eight or nino temperance societies, with their bands; then
the members of tho young men's societies, The trades
marched in the following order :—Corkcutters, cabinet-
mayors, bakers, home painters, stonecutters, curriers, house
carpenters, stonerswes, blacksmiths, farriers, tailors,
plasterers, shipwrights, coopers, boot and shoe makers,
victuallers, coaehmakers, and sawyers. The Odd Fellows'
Society and Foresters made a grand show. All those who
walked in the procession bore wands tipped with blue or
green, each wearing a bit of white riband. They also
wore scarfs (generally green) with white rosettes. The
flags and banners were all new, and many of them
really beautiful. There was not a policeman to be
seen on duty through the town, e7nept at the platform ;.and
yet there was not a single instance of disorderly conduct

during the whole day, though in some instances persons
fainted from the pressure of the crowd. The good conduct
of the people excited the astonishment of strangers. A re-
markable feature in the scene was the number of women of
all ages with children in their arms, not a few of them
mothers with infants at their breast. It was calculated that
the number of people in the streets could not be less than
60,000, and the Cork people say that no demonstration of
such magnitude, or so gratifying in its nature, ever before
took place in the city.
The procession began to move punctually at 12 o'clock
and ended about 2 o'clock, when the Mayor ascended the
platform and addressed the multitude. The spectacle at
this moment was magnificent. The site is in Patrick-street,
near Patrick's-oridge, the most commanding in the city.
The whole of that street, with the streets and quays ad-
joining, were densely packed with human beings, present-
ing the appearance of a pavemeLt of heads—over which the
banners floated gaily at intervals, The windows and bal
conies were also filled, and even the house tops in some in-
stances were covered with spectators. The Mayor, in his
eloquent address, briefly reviewed the life and labours of
Father Mathew, and asked : _ _

" Who pleaded so passionately for the poor as he did ?
who worked for them as he did ?—who sacrificed for them
as he did P—who stripped himself of his worldly goods
and embarrassed himself for them as Theobald Mathew
did P (Cheers.) Think of the time when multitudes of G,Ki's
creatures—old and young, the strong man and the tender
infant—lived upon his charity—would have perished with-
out his daily biunty ; and then say, however glorious his
fame as the most illustrious reformer of his age, whether he
is not dearer to you as the devoted priest of the sanctuary,
as the dauntless champion of the poor, as he who fed the
hungry, and gave drink to the thirsty, and clothed the
naked, and sheltered the stranger and the wanderer, and
protected the widow and the orphan!" (Cheers.) He con-
cluded as follows :—" The fight he fought was a great and
a noble one, and he resolved to die in harness. He died as a
soldier of the Cross, with his armour on. He died amid the
tears and the benedictions of all men, and upon his sainted
grave no hand has flung aught but a flower, and no tongue
has coupled his holy name with aught save a blessing or a
prayer. (Hear, hear.) This, then, is the man whom you are
met this day to honour—to honour by your union, your con-
cord, your dignity of demeanour. (Hear, hear.) To honour
such a man is to do honour to yourselves, to your country,
to the Irish name; not to honour him would be a disgrace
to you and to Ireland. (Loud cheers.) It is now my pleas-
ing du y, in the name of the citizens of Cork, to unveil the
statue which is to stand hencetorward in your city as an
enduring memorial of its best and greatest citizen,' and to
present to the gaze of those whom he loved and served in

life the semblance of those features which are so familiar to
their memories and so dear to their hearts. (Cheers.) Let
the statue be now unveiled." (Enthusiastic cheers.)
Brief addresses were then delivered by Mr Taylor, of the
National Temperance League, London, Mr Jas. Haughton,
Dublin ; and the Rev. Mr Dunscombe, a clergyman of the
Established Church. They exhorted the people to follow
the counsels of him whose memory they that day honoured,
and expressed a hope that the demonstration could lead to
a revival of the temperance cause. The multitude then
quietly separated. The shops in the town were nearly all
closed during the day. No bands have played during the
evening, and up to the hour at which I write (9 o'clock)
everything is perfectly quiet in the city.
