convenience of the learned gentleman.

Burning of the Effigy of 'a Traitor.

And who was the traitor ? asks the Times' Dublin corres-
pondent. The parish priest of Skibbereen, and he was
burnt in effigy by his own parishioners, the member of his
own flick, This Astvundiug event, without precedent, I
believe, in the annals of the country, has produced a
profound sensation in the Roman Catholic community.
Their organs seem quite unable to account for the
fact that a Roman Catholic priest could be burnt in
effigy in an Irish town where the great majority of
the inhabitants are Roman Catholics. Yet, according to
"A Looker-on," in the Cork Constitution, by whom public
attention was first directed to the outrage, a large number
of the inhabitants of Skibereen and the surrounding districts
assembled at the market-square in that town, and
had a thing dressed up as a Roman Catholic clergyman
wearing spectacles, to which they set fire at both
extrenities, amid the shouts and execrations of the
muleitude. When the effigy was nearly burnt, the
police came and took it away from the crowd, who were
kicking it about the street, crying out, "So perish all our
enemies, 0 Lord 1" This account is c moborated by the
local journal, the Skibbereen Eagle, and accepted as true by
the Roman Catholic journals in Cork.
The clergyman who was the object of this outrage is the
Rev. D. Celtics, parish priest of Rath. The Cork Examiner
states that during the time of the famine he assisted to res-
cue hundreds from starvation. In the streets of Cork he,
begged from door to door for the perishing people of
Skibbereen; in the lobby of the House of Commons he
implored money on their behalf; in the cabinets of Minis-
ters of State he supplicated for assistance in im-
passioned accents ; in the board-room, in the
press, he fought the battle for those poor creatures who
were helpless as children. And what was the offence al,
this good priest, that the children whom he thus preserve
alive by begging bread for them should turn against h=am
and wreak their vengeance on him by burning laim
in tfligy P He denounced the Feuinns from the altar
at Rath ; and it is said that through his instranen.-
tality a person named Keane was committed by the magi-
strates for administering unlawful oaths; and so the friends
of Keane, who must include almost the entire population in
that quarter, else they would have punished the offenders,
resolved to vent their wrath against their own spiritual
adviser, as a " felon-letter."
