THE BANKRUPT LAW COVSOLIDATION
ACT ; with Forms of Procedure and a Copious
Index. By John Jagoe, Esq., Barrister• at Low.
Lord Brougham's admirable enactment of the re-
cent session is here presentt-d in the clearest possible
form. By the arrangement judiciously adopted by
the author, the forms in the schedule come imme-
diately under the different sections of the Act upon
which they depend. The Index appears to be pre-
pared with great care and accuracy. Mr. Jagoe ex-
presses his intention, as soon as the Commissioners of
Bankruptcy shall have issued the new Rules of Prac-
tice, so as to bring the measure into operation, to
publish an Addendum to the present volume, which
will embrace all the additional information necessary ;
and from his acknowledged abilities as a lucid coin-
piler and illustrator in sonic of the principal depart-
ments of the law, there is little doubt but that his
labours in the present instance will be gratefully
appreciated by the numerous class interested in ob-
taining a complete knowledge of this eminently im-
portant Act of Parliament.

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, THURSDAY Moarinso.—A very unfavour•
able change has taken place in the weather within
the last twenty-four hours. All yesterday evening,
and up to this morning, the rain has fallen in torrents,
and from the dense fog which prevails there is but
little symptom of its clearing up at present. It is not,
however, probable that any very extensive injury can
be done to the grain crops, as the great bulk of them
must have been secured during the last ten days.
The Cork Examiner has the following satisfactory
report :
" The wheat crop is being fast gathered in, the )i,ld
being considerably more than double the same quantity
to the acre to what it was last year, and the quality
infinitely superior. Considerable quantities or new
corn are already in the Cork market ; and though
the price obtained is low, still the grower is much
better off than if the yield were scanty and the price
higher. Generally speaking, the accounts of the
potato are good. We have heard and known of several
instances where blight has shown itself in the leaves and
stalks, but rarely of the disease having reached the tuber.
Our markets are daily filled with fine and healthy pota-
toes, which are sold at a moderate price. The fact is,
the tuber wasrormed before any sign of blight was mani-
fested, which will account for the lightness of its conse-
quence in the tuber itself. It could not be supposed that
the crop would have escaped entirely, end that the viru-
lent disease of the last four years would have passed array
suddenly, and left no trace; but few imagined that it
would have turned out so well as it has. The green crops
are looking most promising and healthy, though it was
generally supposed that owing to the absence of rain at
a most critical time, they all, without exception, would
have perished in the ground. Happily, the rain came
not only in sufficient time to save them from annihilation,
but to rescue the potato crop from disease, which harsh
winds and parching weather seemed to have induced."
"UNADORNED ELOQUENCE" IN TUE PuLPIT.—In
a letter addressed to the Evening Mail, Mr. Moore
makes a statement of the circumstances under which
he has been the means of elucidating the charitable
views entertained by Dr. M'Hale towards those who
have the misfortune to differ with him in religious
faith :
It having been announced, writes Mr. Moore :
"From the altar of our parish chapel, for the last
few Sabbaths, that the Archbishop of 'Nam' would
hold a confirmation on Thursday, the 23d of August,
and that he would then and there denounce
Mrs. Moore's schools and Mr. Moore's lecture,
that I might obtain a true account of what the
Pope's servant' did really say, I sent two reporters
to the chapel the one a Protestant, the other
Roman Catholic. I give you the report as furnished by
the Roman Catholic, as it may be less exceptionable.
I shall make no comment. I shall not return railing
for railing, but contrarywise blessing.' Earnestly, in-
deed, do I pray the Lord God may bless the Pope's
servant,' by turning him from darkness to light; truly
• my heart's desire and prayer to God for my Roman
Catholic brethren, whether of high or low degree, is that
they may be saved.' The Roman Catholic reporter thus
begins:—
" Mass being over, the Archbishop ascended the
altar and addressed the congregation in Irish, say ing,—
" He was much pained at receiving an invitation from
that holy man' (pointing to the parish priest) to visit
the parish of Cong at that unusual period. The circum-
stances that called for his immediate attention were in-
deed painful. He, as their Bishop, the lawful represen-
tative of the true hurch of God, telt it his duty to warn
them against the wily and crafty assaults of a base and
corrupted church—a church filled with such filthy and
, foul abominations that he would blush to mtntion—a
church begotten and founded by Luther and Calvin—a
church cherished and nursed by brutal force and the
, lustful desires of Harry VIII. and Elizabeth, a wicked
, church, a cursed church, established on the spoil of the
old Catholic church of God—a church that would now
rob the poor of Ireland of the last legacy left them
by their forefathers—a church that was now tam-
pering with the youth and age of this parish, under the
awful visitation of Providence, to ensnare them, by hold-
ing out to them pecuniary relief only to ruin their souls
—a church whose aim was to invent traps and titans for

26

them. They will give you schools for your children,
damnable schools, and then seduce you into their
churches. Oh,.what a curse ! Could he believe it to be
the case that any parents should be found base enough
to murder their children ? Whatever were their ex-
cuses, they were more inexcusable than Cain, who killed
his brother Abel. . . .

"If any parents would send their children to such
schools they were killing their souls, by making them
feed on the poison and heresy of that cursed and damn-
able church—a church which was instilling into their
mind the loathsome and soul-killing doctrines of Luther
and Calvin. . . .

" There is only ono true church, which is the holy
Catholic Church; a Church founded on such corrupt
principles as I have alluded to cannot be the true

.ohurcT

" No; it is a Church which robbed God of His glory.
A Church that despises His virgin mother, and deprives
her of her honour. How can they honour the Son
when they despise the Mother ? A Church
which despised the saints ; a Church which di-
vested the true Church of God of its glory, and
had only retained the loathsome, filthy carcase, with
which they would fain feed the poor deluded souls they
were destroying by their heretical doctrine. Oh could
the remains of those departed saints, who once adorned
the now mouldering walls of that venerable abbey, arise
and speak, and whose spirits are now in the realms of
bliss, they would raise their voice, and tell what were
the principles of that damnable Church: they would tell
the sad history of spoliation which left it desert( d and in
ruins; a Church founded on the spoil of the Catholic
Church, supported and established by law. Ile wished
the people of the parish would henceforth cease to hold
any communication with such a foul institution. They
should hold no intercourse with them, they should not
speak to them, they should not listen to them, they
should not salute them for the future on the highway,
their very breath was poison. Now, let us pray the
Holy Ghost may come down upon us, &c."

The schooner Cleopatra, of Dundee, sailed from
that port on Sunday, the 26th inst., at eight o'clock A M.,
and brought up at the Nor° at eight A.M. Tuesday, the
28th, thus accomplishing the distance (420 miles) in the
almost unprecedented short period of forty-eight h, urs.
She was alongside Downe's Wharf by eight o'clock the
same evening. The Cleopatra belongs to the Dundee,
London, and Perth Shipping Company, was built at
Dumbarton in 1847, 230 tons register, and has been
solely employed in the trade between London and Dun-
dee. She is a handsome iron vessel, possessing first-rate
sailing qualities. liar commander (Mr. Robert Mann)
is a careful, attentive, and vigilant seaman, sad is very
deservedly respected and esteemed.

CHOLERA.—At the Mansion-house, yesterday, Al-
derman Gibbs said, that the Lord Mayor and he had, a
week ago, decided upon testing the efficacy of Collins's
disinfecting powder for the prevention of cholera, typhus,
and other fevers, by destroying malaria and offensive
smells. The lock-up and the other lower and more
confined rooms under the justice-room, together with
the water-closets, had been accordingly sprinkled with
the powder, and a week had elapsed since its first up-
lication. The Lord Mayor agreed with him, enrt all
those who were accustomed to the exceedingly offensive
smells, occasioned by the filthy crowds of persons daily
assembled in the justice room and cells, that the dis-
gusting-effluvia had been completely banished from
every part of the building by the extraordinary opera

bourhoods. Alderman Gibbs said he considered himself
bound, as a magistrate who had a great deal to do with
the poor, amongst whom the epidemic was so pro‘tilent,
to state that he believed, from all he had es itnes:ed and
heard, that the powder had most extraordinary disin-
fecting qualities, and to hope that it would be used in all
close and unwholesome neighbourhoods.
INTRAMURAL BußlALS.—Yesterday evening a
meeting of the parishioners of St. Bride, Fleet-street,
was held in the vestry-room, to confirm the accounts,
signed by the auditors, of Mr. Nason, late churchwarden,
and to receive a report from the Burial Grounds Com-
mittee, in reference to interments in the vaults. The
Rev. C. Marshall, the vicar, in the chair. The accounts
being confirmed, thanks were voted to Mr. Nason. Mr.
Smith, the vestry clerk, then read the report from the
Burial Grounds Committee, which resolved that there
was no necessity for the discontinuance ut interments

TURN OF FORTUNE.—A person, named Joseph
Fielder, well known in the neighbourhood of Titchfield
as a vender of water-cresses, is likely to come into pos-
session of is,OOOZ, the proceeds of an estate in Somerset-
shire, which has been in Chancery for many years.---
