THE MILLION LOAN.—We took a slight glance, yester-
day, at the right reverend and very reverend vultures which
glutted their maws on this charitable loan, which the coun-
try granted to stay clerical starvation. Among the e:
eipients there was not a man who ever had any practical
.
knowledge of poverty—not one who, by an occasional
to his poor curate's dwelling, learned the real condition of
the starving clergy. We have mere than 23,0001. from 3
fund avowedly given to stay starvation, and to prevent fa'
mine, gulphed by nim: individuals, than whom there are few
in Ireland more unacquainted with privations. Why, this
sum would support the twelve Apostles, and all the churches
that, in their active and laborious life, they planted in Eu-
rope and Asia, though it is only a very small portion of a
grant intended to accomplish a temporary benefit to the
Apostles of the Church of Ireland. The following noble-
men and gentlemen also received from " the parson's stares'
lion.fond" the sums appended to their names :

When fourteen noblemen, one countess, an equity judge'
a baronet, and eight opulent crentlemen sit down to the
clerical table in the time of a famine, and fare so sumPt.u•

meat in a season of plenty. Was there ever such au
anomaly as the Irish Church even in a famine;—Freeman'
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION.—The usual weekly meeting
of this body took place on Thursday, Aug. 20 ; Dav
Daly, Esq., in the Chair. A letter from Mr. Sharma°
Crawford, requesting to be proposed a member of the Gene''
ral Association, concluding with the expression of a destr."„.
to combine his humble efforts with those of his felloW
countrymen, was read ; as was a communication from the
Rev. J. Maher of Carlow, touching the administration °f
justice in that county. The Dublin Evening Post recoil'. •
mends its perusal to Lord Mulgrave.
TIIE REGISTRY.—The representation of Dublin o°"'
rests with the unregistered Liberals who have served notice.'
If they come up to-day in such numbers as their count',4,,
requires, victory is ours ; if not, we are betrayed into thy
hands of the vilest faction that ever maddened a countrr.'
and that, too, by our own friends. The eyes of Irclana ale
fixed on the persons to whom we refer. The registry wig .
close at one o'clock. In the name, then, of wronged as
persecuted Ireland, we call on them to be in the Court- to',
(lay at ten o'clock. It is the last day, and let the blow b°
final and decisive. The victory gained yesterday was if'
spectable ; the numbers registered were—Liberals, 1"'

A Derry paper has the following morceau :—" Yeg- day was a most disastrous day for the dogs—a great Insno'rf .•
of them, considered as vagrants, being without logs
muzzles, having been unceremoniously shot in the atreefe ti
,
by the constabulary. The hangman of Madrid, we °'
told, once refused to do execution on the canine race, sag,
ing that his office was to dispatch only men ; but weird
glad to find that our policemen are not much trouJl,
with that gentleman's fastidiousness of feeling."

CONSECRATION OF TUAM CATHEDRAIon,
On Thursday last a most imposing ceremony of the Pin
man Catholic Church took place at the town of Tuare'Airi
the western part of Ireland. The inhabitants of this :g,
trict have. been for a very considerable period suffell."o
much inconvenience for want of a suitable place for Dill 0,
worship. Some years since it was proposed to ereetnn
commodious chapel, and the late Dr. Kelly, then 13'5;3,
of the diocese, laboured incessantly to promote the 0°,;,,0
This good citizen and pious prelate did not, however,
