THE CATHOLIC CLERGY.

[FROM FREEMAN'S JOURNAL, JAN. 7.]
The following pastoral Address has been issued
by the Right Rev. Dr. TUOHY, Roman Catholic
Bishop of this Diocess

TO THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGYMEN Or LIMERICK.
" Reverend Sir,—l most earnestly request you will recom-
mend to your congregation to offer up their most fervent prayers
to Almighty God, that he might be pleased in his mercy to
grant fair weather, and avert the dreadful scourges of pesti-
lence, war, and famine, with which we are threatened for our
manifold sins and transgressions. Recommend also to your re-
spective congregations, to offer their prayers to the Throne of
Mercy, beseeching Almighty God to soften and change the hard
and obdurate hearts of the misguided and deluded people of this
county and vicinity, that he may bepleased to grant them the grace
of sincere repentance and true conversion from their abominable
and diabolical designs. Impress on their minds the duty and alle-
giance they owe to the best of Monarchs, our gracious sovereign
George IV., who, in his goodness of heart, and from the hest
feelings for his Irish subjects, promised them to be their father
and fnend on every occasion. Instruct them to be obedient to
the laws of their country, to avoid drunkenness, idleness, and
every other wickedness, henceforward ; to give up immediately
the weapons of destruction which they have taken. Let them
know that they are bound by the word of God, not only to avoid
sin, but to shun all occasions and temptations to it ; and that
while they retain these weapons of destruction, Satan will be al-
ways busy in tempting them to make use of them for the most
diabolical and abominable purposes. Let them sincerely,
and without delay, call to God for mercy ; and now, at the com-
mencement of the new year, to beseech God to grant them new-
ness of life. By complying immediately with these essential
duties, they may still find mercy at the throne of God. He has
promised to hear the prayers of the truly penitent—he may in
his mercy be moved to restore peace, happiness, and tranquil-
lity, to this distracted country, which is the most ardent wish
and fervent prayer of
" Your faithful Servant, and brother in Christ,

In the afternoon of Saturday, a Whitstable boat, while on
the 100k-out, fell in with a small punt about eight feet long, in
which was one man, who, on being taken on board, stated that
he was the mate of a Dutch galliot, laden with timber and tar,
destined for a French port, which had been blown out of her
course, and wrecked on the Long Sand, about four o'clock on
the same morning, when the Captain, one woman, (his sister),
and the crew, ten in number, were all lost; that his own life.
was preserved by placing himself, at the moment the vessel
sunk, in the large boat on deck, in which was also the punt,
and into which he was providentially washed. He reports that
he saw a brig which was on the sand astern of the galliot go
down at the same time, and supposes all on board perished ;
the brig, he believes, was laden with seeds.—(Kentish Gazette.)
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India
House, when the undermentioned Commanders took leave of
the Court previous to departing for their respective destinations,
viz.:—Captain E. M. Daniell, Duchess of Atholl, for Bengal
and China ; Captain 'l'. Sanders, Orwell, and Captain J.
Walker, Nlacqueen, for St. Helena, Bombay, and China.
SMUGGLERS.—A round dozen of unfortunate smugglers
were lodged on Friday last in the Devon County Gaol. Th.ey
were caught on Tuesday last in three boats, off o,terton-
head, by the Scourge revenue cutter, Captain Weld, after
throwing their kegs, &e. overboard-7a circumstance which

contributed to their capture, as it blew a gale ' • and being.
thus deprived of their ballast, the boats could no longer carry
sail. it came out on the examination of these men beCore the
Magistrates at the Castle, on Friday, that the smugglers
on the South-east coast of our county have a sort of Attorney?
General, who is said to make near five hundred pounds a year
out of their embarrassments. We warn those infatuated fisher-
men on the coast, who neglect their legitimate business fur
the more disastrous trade of defrauding the revenue, that they
will not escape in future so easily as in times past. The men
now taken, will, if convicted, be sent to foreign stations in men
of war; and it is said to he in contemplation to pass an Act in
the next Session of Parliament, to extend the punishment to
transportation to Botany Bay.—( Western Luminary.)

The Diana frigate, of 46 guns, was launched
on Tuesday last, from the Dock-yard at Chat-
ham. The Diana is one of the handsomest fri-
gates in the Royal Navy.
We observe that an elevated walk is now

forming at the lower part of the Botanic Garden,
hi this town, which will keep off the floods. It
will, also, render the scene highly picturesque,
by opening a view to the south us far as Rush-
brooke Park, besides commanding the more in-
teresting ruins which:are in its immediate vicinity.
—(Bury Gazette.)

On Monday afternoon last, after the removal
of some convicts from Tothill-fields prison, to
the credit of the police of Westminster, it was
found that not a single prisoner remained in the
gaol charged with felony ! We believe such
an occurrence has not taken place since the
building of the prison. It was a holiday to the
turnkeys.

CHEAP LIVING.—At a country public-house
not twenty miles from Lewes, a party of neigh-
bours, one night last week, partook of an excel-
lent plain supper (it being Christmas time,) con-
sisting of boiled legs of mutton, vegetables, fruit,
puddings, &c., with table beer, and after supper
a glass of HoHands each,for the moderate charge
of one shilling each ; with which charge, both
the company and landlord were perfectly satis-
fied.—(Brighton Chronicle.)

PRINTING.—When first the art of printing was discovered,
they only made use of one side of a page; they had not yet
found out the expedient of impressing the other. When their
editions were intended to be curious, they omitted to print the
first letter of a chapter, for which they left a blank space, that
it might be painted or illuminated, at the option of the pur-
chaser. Several ancient volumes of these early times have
been found, where these letters are wanting, as they neglected
to have them painted. When the art of printing was first esta-
blished, it was the glory of the learned to be the correctors of
the press to the eminent printers ; physicians, lawyers, and bi.
shops themselves, occupied this department. The printers
then added frequently to their names those of the correctors of
the press, and editions were then valued according to the abili-
ties of the corrector.

NARROW EscArE. About five o'clock on
Tuesday morning, as the Southiminon mail was coming over
the temporary bridge which wus ,erected after the blow-
ing up of the Crooked Billet Bridge, by the late flood, one of the
wheel horses choked and thrust against the. other, which ran
the wheel of the coach against the side. 'rail the coachman
pulled up, and while the guaid was in the act
.of easing the
horse's collar, the bridge gave way under the wheel, in con-
sequence of the ground having been washed Away beneath it,
and precipitated the coach into the water; but as the fall
did not exceed four feet, the horses were not dragged -with it.
Happily there were neither inside nor out-side passengers, and
the only injury sustained ,was •by the coachman, who accom-
panied the coach into the water, and got .a complete duck-
ing. The guard procured a post-chaise and four horses, and
proceeded to town with the mail bags as soon as they could
be got out of the water. \ The coachman, with the coach and
horses, arrived by eleven o'clock; at the Bell and Crowns

AILY. EXTRACTS FROM T 111: 31ORNING PAPERS,

January 10, 1821-.

[MORNING cnaosicr,E.]
The Petition of Mr. Loveday, (sec THE SUN
Of.y eSiCi'day), to vhich we: call the attention of
our readers, throws a, valuable light on the sort,
of practices which under .the name of religion
are encouraged by the Ultras of France, and the
Successor to the Throne of that country.—Super-,
stition and debasement are now in great vogue
viith most of the Sovereigns of Europe-. The
Missionaries -who oppose themselves to the edu-
cation of the people, and who endeavour to de-
lude Them -in the -grossest manner, are warmly
patronised by the French- Princes and the Ul-
tras. The Jesuits, who now play a great part
every where on the Continent, are not more
anxious. to -debase than they are -Co demoralize
the :people. The circulation of obscene books
and prints-is-rather encouraged than prohibited,
wherever they -have any. influence•;- but against'
moral, political and religious improvement all
their ,zeal.-is directed..,. The Puritans of Italy,
who endeavoured to raise, the tone of morality,
and to diminish the general confidence in super-
stitions, usages, as asuccedatieum for pure and
fervent religion, and, pure inorals, and who ac-
tliallY succeeded in working a most. 'wonderful
reformation with respect to crimes, in many,
places, were proscribed by Governments and:
Priests without mercy.

[NEW TIMES.]
It is certainly a deep and serious -regettion 'en
the jurisprudence. 4 this country, that an indivi-
dual can dare to insult alt laws, divine -and
human; so audaciously as is done at Carlile's
shop in .Fleet-street. —ln the window has
been -fixed, a placard, containing the words—.
" This is the Mart for Sedition and Blas-
phemy !" Within the,.. shop is.' inscribed. in
large letters, 44 The Temple of Reason," and
beneath tids inscription
_is placed a box for con-
veying blasphemous and seditious works to the
purchasers, without the appearance of any ven-
dor. It has beets, stated that among other aw-
fully impious expressions publicly exposed in
this shopis'the phrase-7" the factious Jesus"—
and We have 'before us an Address to the. Re-
formers, sold at this shop, and dated " year
18'!...1.10f the Era of the Carpenter's Wife's Son! !"
fhis Address is the following detestable pas-
saft :--‘4 It is surprising to me that man,
rational man,
..should be led away, by the
tales of Priests, .resting on no better, founda-
tion than the book which is called the Bible" ! !
If we had not the .testimony of our-own senses to
these facts, we could hardly believe that they
could occur in the centre of this Christrian me-
tropolis, under our Christian _King and Govern-
rnent.. Why is not the nuisance put down ? Why
do not. the Magistrates interfere ? Mr. Waith-
inan:iS:the Alderman of the Ward, why does he
not interpose his authority ? The Times lately ,
reviled the Constitutional Association, for inter-
fering.-With what should be the objects of pre-
sentrtient by a Grand Jury. Why do not the
GraitePtirTof London then present this intoler-
able nuisance, thisdariug and unprecedented insult
on the laws of the land, and the Law of God ?
.Theie js one,. and only one, decided resistance
made to this systematic defiance of all law. The
kononrible and eXcellent Association of which
-have just„ spoken has resolved to put down
this daring offender by the strong arm of the
taw:L.-And what is the consequence ? The vir-
titans IVler4bers
,of the Association are day after
day assailed with the most violent, rancorous,
and scurrilous personal slanders by The Times,
whose Billingsgate invectives are re-echoed by
all the_Radical Press.

[BRITISH PRESS.]

The Address of the ,Farming Society of Ire-
land to the Marquis Wellesley, and his Lord-
ship's' answer, are given in our extracts from
the Dublin Papers (see our Paper of yesterday.)
The latter document derives peculiar ,inte7
rest' from the light which it throws upon
leis Fxcellency's future government. His first
public document cannot be Considered as com-
mon. place : it may be presumed to have been
prepared with care, and that the principles which
it professes:aye those which he is resolved to
maintain. It is ther.efore satisfactory to find him
declare that it is' not less his inclination than
his hounden duty to
,give every aid to the pro-
gres:of " that wise and necessary system of ge-
nerattetreitchment which has been adopted by
his Majesty's Government and by Parliament,
and Uhich. iS as essential to the- true dignity of
thett•own, as necessary for the security of , the
State; arid • fdr the interest and welfare of the
people. " This pledge would have been still
mote satisfactory were the system of retrenchment
more' general: The retrnClitrient adopted by
Government would be more complete if it ex-
tended to the heads of Officf,l and the salaries
of great place-holders were reduced in the
sante proportion with those of their inferiors.—
The'rreemivt Journal in its comments upon
the answer to the •Address,_says—" Let means
not incompatible .with the laudable economy
now- enforced be suggested for extending, and
perfeVting our agricultural knowledge-,-let land-
lords' be.taught, if they have not already learn-
ed,: 'that, their, true interests-must consist, not
in tire nominal amount of their rent-roll, but in,
the d'iff'usion' of comforts among_ their tenantry
throtighthe medium of Moderate rents—let the
impoverished cultivator of the soil be relieved
from the harassing- annoyance* of tithe farmers
and ecclesiastical stilts—let the laws be enforced
by an upright and active Magistracy and an
efficient police—and let a good system of moral
educatiodbe diffused. amongst the poor, and we
canna hesitate in answering for the permanent
tranquillity and future prosperity ,of Ireland.
We -trust, it has been reserved for the Noble
Marquis to accomplish a " consummation.,so de-
vouttrto—be `wisheit,"*. We cannot but augur
favdarabiy both:frotin,bi§ Weil,es,tablished charac-
ter a's a statesman, and from the responsibility
under Which he lies to hiSliKieng ity.d his country:.
trYt .

the dark clouds *e-trust are dispersing, and The
dawn of happiness and.peace about to open upon
Ireland."

ETII E TIMES.]
The folloWing extract of a letter from Pernam-
buco, dated June 9, 1821, furnishes one among
Na thou-sand proofs of the activity and atrocity
with which (in spite of treaties) the slave trade
is still carried on by foreign states :-44 We
have lately had many arrivals of slaves—three
ships last week, and one- this morning. The
market is now. so overstocked, that the latter
is to proceed to Maranbam. Two of the ships
have •been. out a long time, and the morta-
lity on board has been immense. One sailed
from Angola with a cargo. of 485 slaves, and 180
died. The other had 360, and about half died.
It will be a losing 'concern for the ships, as
the contract is, that they are to receive about
101. per head for all they land. It is horrible
work. The profits are usually very great. An
acquaintance of mine, a Portuguese, sometimes
employs his spare cash in speculating in slaves ;.
and he told me yesterday, at dinner, that it had-
always yielded him above 100• per cent. profit.
One to-day was to have been- executed for the
murder of 'his master, mistress, and infant child.
The Deputies, however, having been chosen to-
day, they begged the fellow might be reprieved,
and he is to be sent to the coast of Africa. I de-
test
the traffic, and those who are employed in
it."

We are sorry to learn that so useful an insti-
tution as the London Orphan Asylum is com-
pelled to a very limited exercise of its charitable
purposes, for want of funds. it has long been
the intention of the Committee who manage. the
charity, to erect a plain building as the only
effectual mode of realizing the benefits contem-
plated by the original subscribers. For this
purpose they invited an additional subscription,
and to the honour of our fellow-citizens be it re-
corded, a sum of. 6,0004 was raised., The, entire
expeuces, however, of the proposed establishweiit
are estimated at 15,0001. and there
.is little
doubt that, considerable as the sum is, the bene-
volence of Englishmen will be equal to the-occa-
sion. The fatherless can never appeal in vain in
a country not more remarkable for ' its wealth,
than its hurnanity.--abid.)

[MORNING POST.]
The French Papers which arrived yesterday
to the 7th lust, have brought
.no decisive infor-
mation respecting the acceptance or rejection• of
the Russian Ultimatum. Had 'the report which
was said to have reached Vienna been correct,
the intelligence would have been. officially com-
municated by this time to all the European Courts.
.The same remark will equally apply to the op-
posite rumour, that the Ultimatum had been re-
jected. The fact would have been.too important.
not tor be transmitted in an authentic shape, and
in the . most.expeditious mode , possible to the
Allies of 'Austria.. An . event . which. might -ulti-
mately involve them all in .its results, would cer-
tainly, not be suffered to linger ,on the road.-,--
,In the absence or decisive intelligence, we find
that anticipations of success to. the Greek cause.
become. every day more confident and more . ge-
neral. The Nuremberg Guzetie of December
3.0, says, while speaking on this subject :—" The,
cause of the Greeks has taken, within a short
time, a very, favourable turn; .and they un-
doubtedly owe their greatest:advantages to the
folly of their enemies, which has brought, things:
to such a pass, that European. Diplomatists ,have
found occasion to repent their having taken. so
much
.trouble for Barbarians, who. knew the
laws of prudence no better than those of .justice.
They wished, without hurting, to have, taught
dancing to a Bear., But the Bear remained a Bear,
and only became the more intractable and le-
rocious.„ Another highly favourable .event for
the Greeks. has been the irruption of the Per-.
scans into the Asiatic Provinces of Turkey.,--.
Taken in the rear by a people who has made, a
rapid progress in military discipline and tactics
—alarmed, on: all sides by the desperate attacks
of the Greeks,, who .triumph at sea, .ancLwere
only overpowered, in Moldavia.and Wallachia by-
numbers and treachery--menaced o.n,the banks
of the Danpbe by,an enemy who, single,handed,
is of strength far superior. to. their own—in a word,
a prey amongst. themselves, to Anarchy .and. Des-
potism,
,the :Turks„are in a situation Ahnost as
hopeless as was that of the Greek Empire at the
period of its ruin.
