ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, March 11.
(Before the LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE.)
Adelaide;Anne Bell, a good-lo..kking country girl, ap-
parently not more than eighteen years old, was indicted
for wilful and corrupt perjury.
Sergeant C. Jones and Mr. Rod well prosecuted. Mr.
T. Chambers was for the defendant.

The circumstances out of which this charge was made
ngainst the prisoner were of rather a singular character.
It appeared that in the year 1846 the prisoner was in
the service of a beer-shopkeeper at Malden, named
Janes, and in the course of that year she made a charge
against her master of having feloniously assaulted her,
and he was tried for that offence at the Summer Assizes,
1846, and sentenced to be transported for fifteen years.
The girl upon that occasion represented that the pri-
soner first assaulted her on the sth of December, 1845,
and he repeated his attacks on several other occasions
between that day and the 27th March, when she stated
that he came into her bedroom in the morning, and perpe-
trated the alleged offence in spite of her cries and resist-
ance ; and it was upon this deposition at the trial that
the present indictment was founded. The evidence now
adduced went to show that the place where the assault
was stated to have been committed was close to two
other bedrooms, in one of which her mistress was in
bed, and the other person, and both these witnesses
swore positively that they heard no alarm or outcry
made by the girl, and that they must have done so if
her statement was true; and this evidence was confirmed
by a bricklayer who was working on the staircase close
by the room. It was likewise proved that the girl
made no complaint to her mistress at the time of the
transaction, and evidence was also given to show that
on the defendant being questioned by one of the wit-
nesses respecting the attair, she said that her master
would not mind hanging her, and she should not naind
taking a false oath about him; and to another person
she said that if her master did not make it up with her
and give her ten shillings, she should go before a ma-
gistrate. All these witnesses, it appeared, were in
attendance at the trial of Janes, ready to depose to the
same facts, but Mr. Ryland, who defended him, de-
clined to call them, and Janes was, as above stated,
convicted and sentenced to transportation. Since the
occurrence it appears that the girl has got married, and
the friends of Janes entertaining an opinion of his in-
nocence, instituted inquiries, the result of which was
that a bill for perjury was presented before the grand
jury at the last assizes against the defendant.
William Janes, the prisoner referred to, who was
brought from the Milbank-prison under a habeas, at-
tired in a convict garb, was examined as a witness, and
he declared that he had never any intimacy sk ith the
girl, and he asserted his entire innocence of the charge
made by her against him.
In cross-examination, ho was asked whether he had
not been accused of attempting to assault his own ille-
gitimate daughter, and also of having seduced another
yowl girl, living in the same neighbourhood, and he
admitted, that after be had been convicted of this offence,
such charges had been made against him, but he declared
that there was no foundation for them.

Mr. CHAMBERS, on the part of the defendant, ad-
dressed the jury, and commented upon the fact of the
witnesses who now appeared in support of the prosecu-
tion not having been called at the former trial, when, if
their evidence had been true, it would have had the
effect of completely exonerating the man Janes from the
charge made against him; and he submitted that there
must have been some good ground fur not calling them.
With regard to the evidence of the man who hod been
convicted by the jury, he submitted, that taking into
consideration the position in which he was placed, it
ought to have very little effect on their minds in in-
ducing them to come to an adverse conclusion to the
interest of the defendant.

Some witnesses were called by the Learned Counsel,
who represented that they were present when some of
the conversations spoken to by the witnesses for the
prosecution were alleged to have taken place, and they
denied that any such statements as those represented
were made by the girl. An attorney was also called,
who stated, that after the complaint had been made,
Janes gave him a small sum of money for the girl, but
whether it was intended as " hush money," or with any
other object, did not very clearly appear.
Sergeant JONES made a very able and argumentative
reply upon the whole case, and
His LORDSHIP having summed up,
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict
of Guilty.
The defendant was sentenced to six months' imprison-
ment.

Maria Lee, who was convicted at an early period of
the assize of the offence of uttering a forged cheque for
151, with intent to defraud Messrs. Sparrow, the bankers
of Chelmsford, was brought up for judgment.
The prisoner was the wife of the collector of the Ex-
sex Provident Society, which has extensive ramifications
throughout the country. in the village of Oraett, and
was in the habit of transacting a good deal of the busi-
ness of the district for her husband, and it seemed that
she had forged the names of four of the sub-committee
to the cheque for the above amount. Up to the time of
this transaction the prisoner appeared to have borne a
most excellent character, and she was strongly recom-
mended to mercy by the jury who tried her.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, after remarking upon the
very serious character of the offence, sentenced the pri-
soner to twelve months' hard labour.

grievous bodily harm was proved. ror his own part, be
thought there was too much disposition to commit--
the practice was too prevalent—on such charges, when
there was no evidence of such an intention, but
on the contrary, the suddenness of the affray rather
led to the conclusion that the party had no intention
at all. Now, the statuteable offence consisted in
the intention, and not in the injury actually done, how-
ever grievous the wound or bodily harm might be. If
they asked him to define what was to be the grievous
bodily harm which the party should be proved to have
intended to do, he confessed he could not du so —neither
the statute, nor the decisions upon it, enabled him to do
so; but he thought he should, if in their situation, ex-
pect the wound intended to be inflicted to be in some
way dangerous to life, or something of that kind. Again
if several were charged, though all might be legally
guilty of the injury actually none, it behoved them t)
consider how far this evidence proved the intention
alleged as it regarded each of them, for it by no means
followed that all had the same intention. Finally, though
perhaps it was
.a subject rather for remarks in the Le-
gislature than in a court of justice, he could not help
remarking on the very small portion of the persons
charged who had not the smallest portion of education.
lie almost always found that the persons charged with
crimes of violence were wholly destitute of education.
Persons might be too sanguine as to the effects of edu-
cation, and though it was by no means a corollory that
if persons were all educated, there would be no crimes
of violence, he thought it fair to asAnne that a inure
extended education of the people would materially
diminish their number.

The Grand Jury (Mr. Bothell foreman) then retired
to their room.

The cases tried were unimportant.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO USE.

A German, named Abraham Catz, was brought be-
fore the Lord Mayor, on a charge of having forged the
names of Livermore and Turner to a bill of exchange
for 1601.

It appeared from the evidence gone into, that about a
fortnight since Mr. J. W. Hitchins, stockbroker, cf,lB,
Walcot-square, Kennington, met with a person of the
name of William Poulton, with whom he was acquainted,
and in the course of conversation with him mentioned
that he was in some pecuniary embarrassment, and
would wish to get some respectable person to join him
in a bill. Poulton acquiesced, and gave him the names
of Livermore and Turner, as accf-pters, and Messrs.
Leaf and Co. as referees. About eight days afterwards
Hitchins drew the bill in question, and was told that he
would have to pay 301. kr the accommodation, and he
was introduced to the prisoner as the person who was to
put the acceptance. Hutchins gave the bill and 15s.
which he required for commission, to the foreman of some
party to the transaction, and on Thursday the prisoner
handed him back the bill accepted. Hutchins immediately
handed it to Captain Yardley, who promises discount
for good bills, and received from him an acknowledg
meat. He subsequently found that the acceptance had
been forged, au3 it was then ascertained that an agent
had taken the bill to Mr. Tingay, pawnbroker, in Greek-
street, Soho, to get it discounted, and he, suspecting that
it was not all right, from the very liberal discount
offered, went to the firm of Livermore and Turner,
pawnbrokers, 127, Tottenham•court-road, whose accept.
ance it purported to bear, and found that it was a forgery,
neither of the partners having signed it or being aware
of its existence.

The LORD MAYOR said it must have been a respect-
able bill, when 75 per cent. was offered to get it dis-
counted, and asked who was to have the 301 for dis-
counting it ?—The prisoner said Mr. Hitchins agreed to
give 71. to Poulton, 71. to him, and 16/. to Mr. Livermore,
and that the person who was to get the bill accepted was
named Marcus, and was the❑ in court.
Mr. Livermore said, on his going with an officer to
No. 4, Eden-street. Hampstead road, to Marcus, he im-
mediately identified him as a person who had been in the
habit of pledging small articles at his shop in the name
of Moore.

Marcus was then called forward, and denied all know-
ledge of the bill.
The prisoner, however, said " My Lord, this man has
sent out two other bills of the same kind."

The LORD MAYOR then remanded the prisoner for a
week.

Charles Bernhard Fanny Marhs were brought up for
final examination, upon the charge of having robbed
Rachel Folks, since deceased, of a considerable sum of
money in Bank of England notes.
The deceased, it appeared from the evidence, on the
14th of October last, received at Currie and Co.'s, ban-
kers, in Cornhill, in payment of a cheque for 123 L. a
501. note, and seven 101. notes. She was accompanied
at the time by John Barnett, an attorney's clerk, who, at
her request, marked the notes. On the 9th February
Barnett received intelligence that she was dying. and
went to the house of the prisoner Marks, where she
lay insensible. She had no medical attendant,
and the house was in vain searched for money.
Not a farthing, nor the value of a farthing, could
be found, and Marks positively declared that she never
had seen any property with the deceased, except merely
the amount of rent received. On the 11th of February
she died, and on the 2Gth Barnett, who had seen the
notes in her possession three weeks before she was taken
ill, called upon Marks, and saw Bernhard, who threat-
ened to bring an action against any person who should
say that he had anything to do with the old lady's cash.
A son of Barnett's had, it seemed, been told by the
deceased, a week before her death, that her money was
all right, and the nurse who attended the deceased in
her illness, and examined her clothes, had observed an
intimacy between the two prisoners, who appeared as if
they were about to be united, and the preparations for
marriage exposed the whole matter.
Samuel Seal, a dealer in china and jewelley, sold
Bernhard, a diamond ring for 371. on the 17th of Fe-
bruary, and was paid three 101. notes and one Si. note.
Morris Van Bragen, a jeweller, sold Bernhard, a dia-
mond ring for 51. and was paid by him with a 101. note.
The foreman of a pawnbroker, in St. Martin's-lane,
received a 101. note from Bernhard on his redeeming a
watch, which was found upon the prisoner. Robinson
Webb, one of the City officers, having been employed
in the investigation, succeeded in tracing three of the
notes, which had been in the possession of the deceased,
to Mr. Seal and the pawnbroker, to whom Bernhard had
paid them away for the diamond ring and the watch.
Upon being told that Mr. Seal had, stated thht e had
received the notes on the occasion before represented,
Bernhard declared that the old woman had given them
to him; and a 101 note, which.had been found in his
pocket by Webb, he said he had given her good sove-
reigns for it. When the female prisoner was taken into
custody she had a watch in her possession, and she said
she supposed it would be said that the watch had been
purchased with the old lady's money.
The prisoners were committed for trial.
A miserable half-starved looking journeyman tailor,
named Thomas Wood, was brought before Alderman
Finnis, charged with having been concerned in breaking
the windows in the house of Mr. Moses, tailor.

William Reid, a person employed at an establishment
in Aldgate, stated that about eight o'clock on Wednes-
day evening he was informed that a number of mis-
chievous boys, of the lowest class, were approaching,
with howls and yells, and ho proceeded to close hiS em-
ployer's shop accordingly, and was putting up the iron
bars, for the better protection of the windows, when the
defendant and three or four hundred others came up,
some of whom endeavoured to get possession of the bars,
but fortunately without effect. He distinctly saw the
defendant throw some missile at Mr. Moses's, and
heard the crash of the glass. A great many stones or
brickbats were thrown i❑ the same direction, 'and the
whole neighbourhood was thrown into the utmost con-
fusion and consternation, which were increased by the
yelling and howling of the blackguards. Witness having
singled out the defendant, was determined to give him
into custody, and followed him into lloundsditch, where,
observing that he was in danger of being grabbed, he
cut into Petticoat-lane, and endeavoured to escape, but
without effect, for although he resisted, and was co-
vered by the mob, witness dragged :him away from his
protectors, and placed him in the custody of policeman
No. 622. The witness added, that although he had
been upwards of twenty minutes following the defendant,
he could not see one policeman, with the exception of
the man who apprehended the defendant for him.
Policeman 622 produced some sous of the old French
republic, which money be had found, he said, in the
pocket of the defendant.
Mr. Lewis Adolphus, rnanaga. at Messrs. Moses's,
stated that the amount of the damage to the windows
of their establishment could not be less than 1501., as
they were made of the most expensive plate-glass. After
the mob had passed he found a great many pieces of
granite and brickbats, which must have been brought
from a considerable distance, purposely to cause the de-
struction of the property.
The defendant said the charge was wholly without
foundation, and that the first witness was mistaken as
to identity. He could, he said give one proof of his
innocence; lie could not owe any to Messrs.
Moses, for he was actually at work for the firm.
The ALDERMAN said the witness, William Reid, had
acted throughout in a very spirited and resolute manner.
The fact that the defendant was actually employed by
Messrs. Moses was a great aggravation of the offence of
the defendant, who must find bail to appear at the
quarter sessions, and give 48 hours' notice.
Several boys were committed for assaulting and re-
sisting the police.
BOW-STREET.

James hustings, and Rebecca Ilas- tings, his mother,
were charged, the former with stealing, and the latter
with feloniously receiving, a large quantity of drapery
goods, &c., the property of Mr. Rees, 18, Great Russell-
street, Covers-garden.
The male priamer had been in the prosecutor's ser-
vice, as shopman, at a salary of 17s. 6(1. per week, be-
sides board and lodging, for upwards of five years. 011
Friday afternoon, the housekeeper of Mr. Rees, while in
the prisoner's bedroom, saw a piece of satin and a scarf
in a carpet bag, and, mentioning her suspicions to her
master, the prisoner was charged with stealing them,
and given into custody. Ile then stated that he had no
intention to steal the articles, but had meant to pay for
them afterwards.
Pt cock, of the F division, on going to the hoUse of
the mother (the other prisoner), at 1, Albany. road,
Camberwell, and searching the room said to have been
occupied by the son, found in the drawers 12 pieces of
cloth, 26 satin scarfs, 12 silk handkerchiefs, 6 new coats,
6 new pairs of trousers, 9 waistcoats, a piece of carpet-
ing, and a table cover. In some boxes on the landing
he also found broad cloths, pieces of satin, velvet, a new
hat, and 40 remnants of cotton. In the mother's bed-
room he found, in the drawers, 4 pieces of cloth, 4}
yards of gambroon, 2 yards of plaid, 12 yards of black
satin, and other goods, whole and uncut. He detected
her in secreting new gloves, when he took her into
custody.
The prisoner contented himself with the declaration
that his mother was innocent of the felony.
They were both remanded for further examination.

The extremely depressed circumstances of vast numbers of the
conamunity, and the necessity of adopting some effectual means for
DotecOmmunity,
their improvement, long occupied the minds of the benevolent and
Rol
, Philanthropic in ecotland. Apart from the destitution induced by
Bc
gratuitous criminality, it was evident that much of the distress of the T
humbler classes arose out of circumstances ever which they had
little or no control. In aggravation of other evils, indigence conti-

Pestiferous dwellings where their own health or lives are sacrificed,
atia whence those of the hiaber classes also are invaded. Although
Posein fields of employment cable of remunerating if properly
cultivated, the llighland fishermenpa and crofters are frequently in
destitution, requiring the intervention of public charity to avert
actual starvation.

The extremely depressed circumstances of vast numbers of the
community, and the necessity of adopting some effectual means for
their imorovement, long occupied the minds of the benevolent and
Philanthropic in -cotland. Apart from the destitution induced by
gratuitous criminality, it was evident that much of the distress of the
humbler classes arose out of circumstances over which they had
little or no control. In aggravation of other evils, indigence conti-
nually drives numbers of the rural and urhea population to occupy
Pestiferous dwellings where their own health or lives are sacrificed,
said whence those of the hh.ber clauses also are invaded. Although
Possessing fields of employment capable of remunerating if properly
cultivated, the Highland fishermen and crofters are frequently in
destitation, requiring the intervention of public charity to avert
actual starvation.
Although Scotland boasts a number of charitable institutions, it
Possessed no organization for aiding the industrious to raise them-
selves from destitution, or to prevent their falling into depressed
circumstances on the failure of employment; until a number of in-
fluential and benevolent persons, in September, 1846, de.ermined to
act upon the principle successfully carried out in England, of forming
a treat national institution, which should seek to improve generally
ttgs condition of the labouring classes, by various meats adapted to
that end, and accordingly the Scottish Patriotic Society was in-
Stituted.
The distinguishing features of this society are, its non-political
and non-sectarian character, and its antagonism to pauperising ten-
dencies—its groat objects being, to enable the poor to help them
"Ives to develop the resources of the land, of the sea, and of the
coloales ; and to demonstrate hose the labour of the otherwise un-
employed and indigent classes may be applied therein, so as to sup-
port and remunerate themselves, thereby indirectly ielieving and
benefiting the whole community. It must be evident, that If
cultural and similar societies are useful to the intelligent, the
organization of the Patriotic Society is unspeakably more necessary
to the uninstructed and destitute.
The emergency is great, and the Sell of exertion a wide one, but
experience has already demotstrated, that the efforts of the Patriotic
Society are telling effectually where they are so much needed.
Hitherto the pecuniary means at its disposal have been too limited
to enable it to enter so extensively upon its labours as Is necessary,
and its promoters confidently make the present appeal for extended
Means of usefulness. Every one is more or loss directly interested in
the success of its attempts to improve the sanatory condition of the
humbler classes, and to raise them from mere paupers and con-
sumers, into the successful and self-supporting producers of
food, as it is impossible for the Society to effect sanitary
improvements in the dwellings of the humbler classes, and to
*Rgment the produce of the country, without benefiting the
other classes, who often become the victims of pestilence, and
lutist, without such industrial improvements, submit to pay higher
Prices for food, consequent upon numbers having to be supported in
Idleness out of the general stock. That the tendency of the means
adopted by the Patriotic Society is to effect these improvements, is
beyond all question, and it solicits the investigation of the intelli-
gent community, the principles involved, not being matters of indif-
rerence, but lying at the very foundation cot being prosperity and
Safety.

NI One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
littet the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
:•oraprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
lentent. Henoar end justice deraald that health shouldform au item
in the compact ; It alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound mere sorely than poverty or misfbrtnne. Reader, if

The Lord A5W1T71,31.P., Chairman
And Twenty-four Clergymen and Gentlemen
The Society for the Improvement of the Condition of the Labour-
ing Classes having met with entire success in three different efforts to
provide better dwellings for the labouring poor, is now desirous of
commencing a new attempt, of, it may be hoped, a still more impor-
tant character.
Ito past operations have been as follows :-
1. A range of cottager, on a site where cottages only were admis-
sible, called Model Buildings, in Bagnigge-wells. These are now oc-
eupled by married couples and aged females, whose rents are paid
weekly, with great thankfulness for the cheap and wholesome ledg-
fogs provided.
2. Three houses repaired and thrown into one, in Charles-street,
Drury-lane, wherein clean and proper accommodation is found for 10
working men.
3. The Model Lodging-house, for single men, built expressly for
the Society, in George-street, St. Giles's. In this house 104 single
men are provided with separate sleeping apartments, and every other
desirable accommodation, at the charge of 4d. per night.
All these establishments are full, the rents are regularly paid, and
the inmates are very thankful for the advantages they receive. The
number of persons now tenanting the Society's houses is 320, while
in various parts of the country their allotment tenants are 556.
These three undertakings, therefore, while they return a fair and
adequate rental for the capital laid out, are producing important be-
nefits to the working classes, and are compelling improvement in
lodging-houses generally.
But there is a very numerous and important class, for whose be-
nefit great efforts ought to be made. The mechanics and ether la-
bourers, occupied in the heart of the metropolis, and having wives
and families, who aro compelled to dwell in localities where employ-
ment is to be found, surely demand some consideration.
The Committee desire forthwith to make an earnest attempt to
meet the wants of this interostln,g and important class of persons.
They at present have in vises two sites, in the very centre of the me-
tropolis, either of which would admirably answer the purpose.
They are endeavouring to gain possession of one of them, but it will
be necessary, in order to their effecting this object in a proper and
sufficient manner, that they should first raise a sum of 5,0001. or
6,0001., which will obviously be required to erect any building of such
extent as C. to serve as a model for future undertakings. Hence a
public appeal must be made, since the whole of the Society's funds
have been exhausted iu the oompletion of the three works above enu-
merated.
The Committee believe that with the Christian public of this coun-
try no further plea need be need than that of the duty and impor-
tance of benefiting the poor, especially with respect to their dwellings.
Still it cannot be out of place to remark, that while measures for the
Improvement of the health of the metropolis are urged OD every side,
there can be ne aieaeure so effectual for this purpose as that of ex-
changing the wretched abodes, into which the /safer are now too often
crowded, for well-planned, well-drained, and properly ventilated ha-
bitations. The Committee believe that this can be done even at a
lower rate of charge for rent than that which the labourer is now
often forced to pay, and they entreat the affluent and the charitable
to give them the means of still further demonstrating this important
fact by actual experiment. It cannot be too often repeated, that
while our poor are forced, as at present, to crowd together, all ages
a d sexes in the same sleeping apartment, the preservation of either
health or morals is rendered all but an impossibility.

IRELAND.
THE " IRISH CONFEDERATION"-MISSION

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY A-YEAR,
At the present political juncture we hoar
"Very much of " One Hundred and Fifty a-Year,"
And I certainly think it will net be amiss,
To say a few words on a subject like this;
For the topic of income is certainly one
Which calls for a line from E. MOSES and SON.
Many persons indignantly " set up their backs"
At the thoughts of an income and property.tax ;
Especially so when it reaches the sphere
Of a limited " Hundred and Fifty a-Year."
The statesmen themselves are divided about it,
Some wish to retain it, while others would sceut it ;
Some cry " Let us have it," and others cry " Waive it ;"
Bat the neutral language of MOSES is " Save it."
All persons possessed of a " Hundred and Fifty,"
Have need to be prudent, and cautious, and thrifty,

Should teach them to wear MOSES' coats on their backs.
The savings by MOSES would shortly appear
In the tax on a " hundred and Fifty a-Year,"
The coats, vests, and trowsors, the hats, and the shoes,
Would nave them far more than the taxes would lose ;
And the worth of the garments would make them appear
Pessess'd of Five Hundreds and Fifty a-Year ;
And thus have we proved that the subject is one
Which specially bears on E. MOSES and SOR.

TO PARIS.
Dunere, MARCH 10.—The Music-hall, in Lower
Abbey-street, was densely. crowded last night, it having
been known that Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., had come
over to attend a meeting of the Irish Confederation.
The ball was decorated with placards bearing the fol-
lowing words :—" Courage !—Forgiveness !—Frater-
nity'."
At eight o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. Michael
Crean.
Mr. J. B. DILLON (barrister) moved the adoption of
the following address from the Council of the Confedera-
tion, which he read, and which was received throughout
with the most tremendous shouts of approval:—
" ADDRESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE IRISH CONFEDERA-
TION TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELA!,TD.
" Fellow Countrymen,—ln a circular addressed to its
representatives at foreign Courts, the great French
Republic has thus spoken through the most illustrious of
its servants:—
" Thus, we declare it openly: if the hour of the re-
construction of nationalities long oppressed, in Europe
or elsewhere, should appear to us to have sounded in the
decrees of Providence, the French Republic would
believe itself entitled to arm for the protection of those
legitimate movements for the greatness and nationality
of states.'
" Three nationalities there are ' long oppressed in
Europe '—ltaly—Poland Ireland. The hour for Italy's
redemption has already founded—the bleeding breast
of Poland heaves with the breath of returning life. Shall
Ireland alone remain buried in darkness, while her sis-
ters are emerging into liberty and light ?
" When the hour shall have sounded—when the virtue
of nationhood shall appear, and the vices of provincialism
shall be conquered and trodden down—when falsehood,
cowardice, and selfishness be cast aside and regarded
with scorn—when courage, self-saccifice, and mutual
love shall mark the conduct of the people, then shall we
be in a position to call upon the great protectress of op-
pressed nationalities to redeem her pledge.
" When shall this hour have sounded ? Whether in
a month, in a year, or never, depends, brother Irish-
men, upon you.—[A voice, ' We are ready.']—(Cheers.)
,If upon the threshold of this new career we will blot
out all recollections of past injury from our hearts—if
with hand clasped in hand we will swear before Heaven
that we will be true to each other—that no evil influ-
ence shall divide us—that no danger shall turn us back
—then be of good hope, for the hour of deliverance is at
hand, and a good and pitying God will not have sent this
fair opportunity in vain.
" Courage, forgiveness, and fraternity—these are the
virtues of the hour. Listen to the warning that is
written in every page of the history of our servitude—
the craft of the tyrant is more formidable than his
strength. Reptiles whose breath is poison, will crawl
around your steps, whispering suspicion, ridiculing all
manly sentiment, decrying bold courses, undermining
your confidence, and chilling the ardour of your hopes
—you must tread these reptiles beneath your feat. Be
prudent ; when boldness risks the safety of a cause, it
becomes rashness. Be prudent, but not for yourselves.
The man who now shrinks from personal risk must
stand aside, he is neither fit to lead nor to follow. To
what purpose do we express our admiration of the heroes
who braved death for liberty, if we ourselves are
frightened by the meshes of the lawV Freedom smiles
not upon cowards, she turns her radiant face away from
those who will not woo her in the midst of danger.
" For ourselves, brother Irishmen, we have but one re-
quest—that we may be suffered to share the labour and
he danger of your struggle, as we hope to participate
in the fruits of your triumph; we are ready to forget
our party, our injuries, and our pride, for the sake of our
country. In her service, humiliation—and danger—and
,acrifice and death are welcome to us. Wherever we

vertiser says—" We understand that Captain Larcom,
R E., one of the Commissioners of the Board of Public
Works, has been appointed chairman of the new com-
mission granted by Government, to make inquiry re-
specting the area of poor-law unions and electoral divi-
sions i❑ this country, with a view to the reduction of
their extent, where circumstances render such a change
Arable for the better working of the poor-law."
KINSALE ELECTION. -- The nomination took place
yesterday (Thursday), when Lord Robert Pelham
Clinton and Mr. Benjamin Hawes were proposed as
candidates. The late Member, Mr. Guinness, and Mr.
Norton, of the English bar, were also put in nomination,
but only with a view to address the electors. At the
close of the proceedings the show of hands was in favour
of Mr. Hawes. The polling is to take place to-morrow
(Saturday). The result was still considered doubtful.

might be thought that he was reluctant to take the third
of their mottoes, "courage," as his motto—(No)—when
he told them, and earnestly enjoined them, to mingle
prudence with their courage. There was no one thing
which their adversaries would so much desire as that
they should have recourse to an outbreak. So far as he
was concerned, he thought it right to repeat to them the
admonition with NS hich he closed the last speech he made
in that assembly, which was, that Ireland bed had
failures enough, and they must so contrive affairs in
future as not again to fail.
Mr. RICHARD O'GORMAN, jun., next came forward
and proposed the following resolution :—" That we
deem it expedient that the people should follow the
example of the English people, who are now generally
organizing and arming themselves under the sanction of
the authorities, for the defence of their country in any
emergency which may arise." The Learned Gentleman
in the most violent language compared.lreland to France,
stated that France had nobly gained her freedom when
oppressed, and that Irishmpn ought to be prepared to
follow her example, and compel England to do her j us-
tice.—(Cheers.) The French nation did not understand
teasing a Government into compliance when they knew
justice was on their side, but nobly seized the musket
and sabre, and rushed upon their rights.—(Tremendous
applause.) It was his conviction that all honest men
were bound to arm, whether they might require those
arms to resist foreign oppression or a domestic foe.—
(Cheers.) They should, however, follow the advice
of Mr. O'Brien, and " bide their time."—(Applause.)
Mr. BYRNE seconded the motion, which was adopted
with acclamation.

Dr. DUFFY then proposed the following motion :
" 1. That this Confederation has read with the strongest
emotions of pleasure the proceedings of the reconcilia-
tory meetings of the Old and Young Ireland Repealers,
held during the last week in Dublin, Drogheda, Kil-
kenny-, and Limerick; and we venture to express our
desire that this example will be followed by every Re-
pealer in every town in England, Ireland, and Scotland.
2. That, for our own part, we solemnly declare that
the confederates of Dubli❑ are anxious to forget all past
causes of offence received from the Repeal Association,
and that from this hour forth we ardently desire to
abolish all unfriendly and anti-national distinctions
between Young and Old Ireland. 3. That we cordially
concur in the proposal of the united Repealers of Kil-
kenny, a National Council of Union to be held in Dublin,
and we beg to suggest to the committee now sitting, of
the united Repealers of Dublin the propriety of their en-
tering into preliminary arrangements for that purpose.
Further, we beg to suggest the 13th of April next, the
anniversary of the 'B2 declaration of independence, as
the day of meeting of the Council of Union."
Mr. M'GEE seconded the resolution.

Mr. C. DUFFY said he was authorised to propose, as
a member of the Confederation, Mr. Stephenson, one of
the Fellows of a Protestant College (St. Columba's),
established in Meath, for the education of the sons of the
Protestant gentry of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) There
were more friends to be united to them than Old Ireland.
The friends who left the Confederation he desired to
see amongst them again.—(Applause, and loud cheers
for Mitchel and Reilly.) He did not speak on behalf of
the council or others; but, inasmuch as it gave him the
deepest pain to part from his true faiond John Mitchel,
he desired to take his hand again, and he trusted that
on some other day, when their work should have been
attained and Ireland should be free, they would all of
them join hands in the building in College-green.
Mr. Smith O'Brien was then called to the chair, and
the meeting rose.

Saunders's News Letter appends the following to its
report of the meeting of the Confederation:—
" The crowd having left the Music-hall, proceeded in
a body down Abbey-street, Sackville -street, through
Westmorland-street, College-green, and Dame-street, to
the Upp..r Castle gate, shouting in the most boisterous
manner along the route. Upon arriving at the entrance
to the Castle, they groaned his Excellency the Lord-
Lieutenant, and loudly cheered the French people and

street., when a Mr. Harrison said he had a message from
intim ntial parties connected with Conciliation- Hall, to
the effect that if an impartial committee were chosen to
meet in some neutral ground, to make arrangements for
the forthcoming demonstration, they would be glad to
nit et and act with such a committee.
After some discussion, it was resolved, on the motion
of Mr. Duffy, to nominate five trade men from that
meeting, who did not belong to any political body, to
meet the same number from the Repeal Association and
the Irish Confederation (making fitteen in all), for the
purpose of effecting an amalgamation of all parties at
the forthcoming demonstration, and in the hope that it
might ultimately lead to a perfect union of all Irishmen.
The sub-committee then retired to a private room for
the purpose of arranging matters of detail.
A notification appears this morning from the trades
committee, announcing a meeting for to-morrow (Sun-
day), " to receive subscriptions towards the expenses
of the coming demonstration." Meantime the Old Ire-
lenders at Conciliation Hail have published the following
resolution, adopted on the motion of Mr. John O'Con-
nell, M.Y. :---
" That this committee recommend to the members of
the association to abstain from attendance at, or co-
operation with, the committee that sat lately at the
Northumberland Rooms, so long as parties committed to
illegal sentiments, who have advised a breach of the
law, shall form part of the same.

are required we shall be present, indifferent as to whether
our post be humble or exalted. Whoever leads on, we
shall follow—insisting only that we shall go forward—
forward, though graves were to yawn and gibbets to
frown across our path.
(Signed) "J. B. DILLON, Chairman."
Mr. BARRY called on Irishmen to be bold, courageous,
and self-sacrificing; stating that if they only were so for
a few days, the citizens of Dublin would take the ad-
vanced guard of the united army that was about to place
itself in front of the English Government.—(Loud
cheers.) The Minister might offer conciliation, but they
would accept of nothing short of independence.
Mr. SattTrt O'BRIEN then came forward, and was re-
ceived with loud cheers. He was compelled to tell them
that never, at any former period, did he observe loss
disposition to de what was right in reference to that
country, on the part of the rulers of Ireland; never did
he perceive so resolute a determination to exhibit utter
contempt for the claims of the Irish nation. Night after
night ho had been compelled to listen to declarations
from the Ministry which convinced him that they viewed
with indifference the deaths daily taking place from
famine in different parts of the kingdom. He expected
that if there was any spirit, any manhood in the Irish
representatives of every class, they would have stood up
in a body in the English Parliament, and said, " If
you are determined to set at nought the opinion of the
Irish nation, we will bid you good morning, we will go
home and take care of our own interests."—(Cheers.)
But he was sorry to say that they had abdicated the
right to lead, which was the true attribute of aristo-
cracy. In France they had seen the people triumph
over a tyrant who trampled on their rights. They bad
seen an effort made there similar to that made at Clon-
tarf in this country—(Hear, hear)—to put down a
meeting of the citizens held to express their political
opinions in reference to the condition of their country.
They had seen the French soldiery do that which the
Irish soldiery would do under similar circumstances—
(Cheers)—fraternize with the people of Paris. And
could they view without emotion those great results of
popular opinion? He was not afraid to confess that he
rejoiced exceedingly in that programme of the intentions
of the French people alluded to in the address which
had been put forward by their committee, and which
he saw for the first time after he had entered the room
—he hailed with delight the enunciation on the part
of the French Government of a determination to
sustain, everywhere they could, and revive the op-
pressed nationalities of Europe—(Loud oheers)—and
he was prepared farther, if it were the pleasure
of his fellow-countrymen that he should go over as their
deputy—(Loud cheering and waving of hats)—to Paris,
to wait on the Provisional Government, and tell them
that the people of Ireland invoked French sympathy on
their own behalf.—(Loud cheering). He apprehended
that even Lord Palmerston himself could not object to
such a course, for he had sent within the last few months
Lord Minto—(Hisses)--to negotiate a repeal of the
union between Sicily and Naples, which was an ad-
mirable example for sending a mission to claim the
services of a third power, in support of a people who
were contending for another repeal of the union. He
apprehended that if a deputation was appointed from
that country to wait on the people of France, it would in
no respect bring them within the operation of any known
law, and that they would not thereby be departing from
that course of constitutional agitation which he vindi-
cated at their last meeting. He might be told that the
contingency of war was one in which the Irish people
could have no separate interest from that of the people
of Great Britain. Now, upon that point he was not
disposed to shrink from a full exposition of his opinions.
He was not desirous that the French should invade
and subdue England.
A VOlCE—Certainly. —(Cheers and laughter.)
Mr. O'BRIEN—Still less was he desirous that France
should invade and subdue Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) But
he did ray this to the British Government—and he
would not have the least objection to tell them so in the
House of Commons next week, should it be their plea-
sure to listen to him—that he for one would not use any
influence which he might possess with the people cithat
country to induce them to fight the battle of England
unless they had a Parliament in Ireland.—(Cheers; a
voice, " Nor then oither.") Let them have a Parliament
in Ireland, and he thought they might answer for the
Irish people that they would defend their own shores
against every foe.—(" Bravo," and cheers.) His candid
conviction was, that the time for Ireland's liberation
was come.—(Cheers.) The only difficulty against
which they had at present to contend was the old sin of
disunion and dissension amongst themselves. For his
part he was willing'to adopt the mottoes of " forgiveness"
and of " fraternity "—(Applause)—with all classes of
the Irish people. With those who had wronged them
to the utmost, as well as with those who stood by
them in many a difficult conflict, he was prepared
most heartily to fraternize.—(Applause.) He no sooner
learned the events in France, than he wrote to his friends
on the Council of the Confederation urging, them
to make peace with Old Ireland.—(Cheers.) He under-
stood that it had been decided there should be, within a
few days, in that metropolis, a meeting for the purpose
of adopting an address to tho French people, and he
presumed that such an address would be presented by a
deputation. Ile was glad that that proposition should
have originated with the gentlemen of whet was called
the Old Ireland party. In future they knew nothing of
Old 'or Young Ireland ; they wore all for Ireland.--
(Cheers—and a voice, " A cheer for Smith O'Brien.")
It might be interesting to them to know that the Re-
peelers of Manchester: contemplated holding a meet-
ing of Repealers of all sections on the 11th of March.--
(Hear, hear.) They had written to him asking his
attendance, and he should have the greatest satisfaction
in going there, if it were not arranged that the meeting
in Dublin to address the French should be held on that
day. It would be for the Committee of Trades to
determine whether they could make any arrange-
ment to prevent the two meetings from clash-
ing. He was happy to be able to tell
them, from communications which ho had re-
ceived, that a meeting of the Repealers of London
would be held for a similar purpose. A system of ad-
dress to France ought, in his opinion, to be made uni-
versal in that kingdom, and also throughout Scotland
end England. They were told that the aristocracy
formed in that country the garrison of England. Perhaps
it might not be unwise to remind the Government of
England that they, too, had a garrison in England; that
there were in Liverpool some thirty or forty thousand
Repealers, in Manchester some forty or fifty thousand,
' in London some hundred thousand Repealers of the
Union, and in Glasgow fifty thousand Repealers of the
Union. It was desirable that the meetings to which he
, had referred should be held simultaneously. Perhaps it

the Republic. After remaining there for ten or fifteen
minutes, they gradually lessened in numbers, and in less
than half-an•hour order was perfectly restored. Another
body took their way down Bachelor's-walk, giving
expression to their feelings by loud cheers, and by sing-
ing as they went along. No breach of the peace was
committed as far as we could learn."

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.
MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication; and, that Mr. Howard'e improvement may be within
reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest
scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful ix Leastica-

The precautionary arrangements of the Government
are complete. At livery stables in various parts of the
city accommodation has been provided for cavalry, in
order, in case of emergency, the troops should at once be
enabled to repress disturbance. There will on the 17th
March be an effective force of 1,500 police in the city,
with a considerable body of constabulary from the rural
districts. The regiments at the various barracks are
ordered to be in readiness, and the stations and duties
of all are assigned. In fact, nothing can be more com-
plete than the measures of precaution so prudently and
promptly devised by the Lord-Lieutenant.
The Evening Post says—" We understand that the
Lord Chancellor has issued commissions of the peace
for the borough and county of Dublin, to the following
staff officers of the garrison, viz.:—Lieutenant-Colonel
Forster, K.H., Lieutenant-Colonel Greaves, Colonel
Cochrane, C. 8., Colonel Frith, Colonel Gordon, Major

MEETING OF THE TRADES UNION.—The "National
Trades Political Union" have convened a " great public
demonstration" for to-morrow (Sunday) at the Theatre,
Lower Albany-street, to " address the Queen and to pe-
tition both Houses of Parliament for a repeal of the
obnoxious blighting act of union, which has perpetrated
the annihilation of our trade, and established destitution
and starvation in our suffering country, and to address
the French nation on their noble victory over tyranny
and despotism."
PROJECT FOR A "NATIONAL MILITIA."

" Beloved Fellow countrymen—My mind is too un-
easy about you to let me be deterred by anything from
addressing you at this important moment.
"I desire to warn you against the wild doctrines at-
tempted to be spread amongst you. I want to ask of
you utterly and indignantly to repulse and defeat the
continuous efforts being made by newspaper scribblers
and others to weaken in your minds the teachings of
my beloved father.
" The very man who write and talk wildest and
strongest would be the very first to abandon you if you
did allow them to stimulate you into violence and rebel-
lion.

" Recollect, I beseech of you, the experience we had
in 1843 of the value of big words, written or spoken.
Four of the men whose wild language was heavily cited
against us at our trials hung back and saved themselves
—leaving innocent persons to bear the consequences of
their offences.
"I will not mention names; but I must mention facts.
One of them was known to be hiding in the country.
Another is grievously suspected of having offered him-
self to the Government of the day; and having been re-
fused only because he could, of course, prove nothing of
treason in oar committee deliberations. With such
warning facts before you, I believe, and am confident,
you will not listen to those who, at this day, would
hurry you into violence and crime, and then shrink
back and abandon you! For one, I will be guiltless of
your blood! I will not have the scream of the orphan
at my door. I will not have the curse of the bereaved
widow upon my head, and on those of my children. I
will do my duty by warning you against those evil,
those most wicked counsellors, who are said to be
abroad. They hold out to you the example of what has
happened in Paris, but they omit to tell you that the
French people were acting in more self-defence against
the last aggression that would utterly and entirely have
deprived them of all their rights; and, above:all, these'

and with plentiful means of supplying themselves, would
yet have been utterly defeated and crushed, but that the
armed and disciplined National Guards revolted against
the despot and joined them, and the example was fol-
lowed by the soldiery.
" Again, the French were an united people, and we—
unhappily we—are a spectacle to the world for our divi-
sions. And if you were wantonly and madly to throw
away the peaceful means yet left in our hands to accom-
plish our rights, you could not hope to have the assist-
ance in your fight of the real friends of liberty amongst
the classes you would wish to hake at your head. All
thoughts of violence, then, are as insane as they are
deeply criminal. The men who seek to spread them
amongst you must either be silly and mischievous fools,
or else paid agents of your oppressors.
"Beloved fellow-countrymen, we have no need of
violence. England's permanent interests (if by mad
folly we do not make her passions render her deaf to
those interests) must convince her of the necessity of
doing us justice. Unless that justice be done us, she
will, in the very probable event of foreign war, leave
her most vulnerable points exposed to invite the enemy's
attack. And in case of continued peace, she must, if
still unjust, maintain—nay, must augment—the army
and police, the cost of which now weighs so heavily
upon her finances, impeding every effort at lightening
the grievous burthen of taxation.
, " Oh I let us in our meetings of St. Patrick's-day-

The Nation contains the following suggestions for the
monster meeting:—
" We believe a national militia and a national council
have been essential to our very existence. We must
now protect ourselves. We trust the meeting on St.
Patrick's day will decree a national militia of volunteers,
send a deputation to the Queen asking the usual license,
and proceed to enrol them. If the enrolment become as
universal as in 'B2, the dress and arms need not be uni-
form; but a general resemblance would be convenient.
Some sound military authorities hold that the bulk of a
national militia ought to be armed simply with the pike.
Fire arms are overvalued. In pitched battles, it is cal-
culated that not more than one man falls in every six
hundred musket shots, in skirmishes a still smaller pro-
portion. But in a charge of pikes, whatever front rank
holds its ground against it, dies. Certainly our militia
ought not to rely exclusively on either weapon. The
national genius, so vehement and impetuous, exhibits
itself with greatest effect in a charge; and for that
service your pike is the tool. The dress ought
to be no pretty frippery, but plain and serviceable, fit
for campaign work. Colonel Keating's proposal for
arming a native militia against the invasion threatened,
by Napoleon supplies good advice on this head. He
would furnish hits infantry with a frieze body coat, of a
dark colour, knee-breeches of ticken or corduroy, a
plain wool hat, brogues or buskins, of any strong
leather, iu one piece and laced down the centre ; a
musket, a cartridge-box, and a horn for priming pow-
der. (Rifles and a box for percussion caps would per-
haps be better.) The officers might be distinguished by
a facing of green velvet of home manufacture. But no
gold Ince, no show ; no gaudy distinctions. Men who
mean to do their duty will win other renown than the
fabric or colour of their coat affords. Two drill-ser-
geants ought to be temporarily employed, to train each
corps. Old soldiers, or ex policemen, fit for this work,
are to be found in every district. This is the first step ;
the second follows close upon it. A National Assembly
has been the sure resource of all struggling nations.
Philadelphia, Paris, Dungannon, are the catch-words
of its history. From out our National Guards, or from
the country indiscriminately, let us then choose a Na-
tional Council. Let them bo elected by a deliberate vote
of the people in every county and city in Ireland.
The Convention Act is obsolete; it was passed upwards
of half a century ago ; and whatever it says is no
longer of practical effect. The stern law of necessity
over-rides dead (or living) Acts of Parliament. At this
very hour the Chartists of England are electing a Con-
vention for their purposes, and no one says nay; who
shall say nay' to Ireland if she is plainly determined to
say ' yes. We demand a Convention fit to treat with
England for our freedom. A Convention representing
the people, and whom the people will obey."
A CONTINGENT INSURRECTION.—The United Irish•
man, published this day, contains the following:—'- If
Ireland rose in insurrection against the Government
which rules it for England, against the garrison which
the English call classes' hero, and if England or any
other foreign power landed one man on this our island
to intimidate or defeat us in the assertion of our natural
and national right, then the French
.Republic would
believe itself entitled, i. e., justified, necessitated, to pro-
tect by force of arms, that legitimate movement' of an
oppressed nation for life, for nationality, for greatness.
This is the plain enunciation of M. de Lamartine on
behalf of the Republic. But to merit this sympathy,
is to be in a position to demand it, we must make known
to the world that the decrees of Providence have sounded
for our resurrection. We must utter and maintain the
God-sent truth—the decree that is in the hearts of us
all—hate of England to the death."
The Dublin Evening Post contains the following:—
" Thurles, March 10, 1848.
"My dear Lord—l had a communication from Rome
a few days back, informing me that Cardinal Franconi
had received the statement addressed to him by me, in
answer to his letter of the 3d of January, concerning
the charges made against the Irish clergy, and that he
was sorry I had put myself to so much trouble in re-
futing them, as he did not believe them. lie sent my

got publicity in the newspapers; I then wrote, to explain
to them the reason of my not having communicated it,
and that I had refrained from doing so solely from a
sense of propriety.
" When I saw the letter published In the Dublin
Evening Post, I else wrote to the Propaganda, to ex-
culpate myself from any share in its publication, stating
that I considered it to be, from its very tenour, a private
and confidential communication, and that I would there-
fore deem myself to have acted with extreme imprudence
if I gave it publicity.
"That my view on this subject was correct is now
evident, from a letter received by me last night, con-
taining important information on this and other matters,
an extract from which I subjoin; and remain, my dear
Lord, yours faithfully,
" Most Rev._Dr. M'llale."

let us not waste time in idle vapourings about fighting—
but soberly address ourselves to English self-interest, if
English justice still continue deaf ; and let us ask these
Englishmen, whose greatest boast is their plain common
sense, is it worth while to keep Ireland in bondage at
such a cost ? Let us point out to them that we could
save millions to the State, if justice were but done us ;
and that Ireland, rich, happy, and contented, would be
their firmest support and ally in war, and their most
useful neighbour and friend in time of peace.
" Fellow-countrymen, we who now—who have ever
advised you to peace—we did not shrink back in the
hour of danger, as others did. My beloved father—
whose life was spent in preaching to you constitutional
agitation—he welcomed the danger when it came, and
was ready for every suffering, provided only that it fell
upon himself, and not upon you ! And some of us gladly
stood by his side, sharing his spirit and his perils. And
now that he is gone, we are ready again—whensoever
persecution may come—again to suffer if need be, pro-
vided only you be saved !
"I have but little to give to your service, but that
little—my life, and all its hopes and prospects—l have
freely, cheerfully, devotedly given, and never will re-
claim. Poor as the offering is, it gives me the right to
ask of you—to implore of you—for Ireland's sake, for
religion's sake, fur the sake of all that you hold dear,
spurn from you the inciters to blood, to most criminal
rebellion, if such you find amongst you, and giro one
more great, peaceful, constitutional effort to poor Ire-
land, and victory will be yours.
" True, the unwise—the mad policy of the English
Government is endeavouring to detach from you your be-
loved clergy ; is trying to prevent them from joining,
and giving safe and rightful directian to your efforts. But
even though the shepherds be withheld from their faith-
ful flocks, even then we will not suffer ourselves to be
hurried into crime. No, we shall look for and shall
obtain Heaven's richest blessing upon our struggle—
because we will not stain it with violence or outrage ;
above all, because we will not stain it by the shedding of
blood ! ' The man who violates the law gives strength to
the enemy !' We will give the enemy no strength, for we
will not violate the laws of man ; and, assuredly, wo will
not violate the sacred ordinance of God !
" Firmly and determinedly, but peacefully and le-
; I gaily, we will hold our meetings on the day of the

" ' Rome, Feb. 28, 1848.
" ' My Lord—The Secretary of the Propaganda said
that the letter was a private one—it was written merely
to get information, and any one reading it would ace
that it was not to be published. He also said the Pope
concurred in these views, and they were both very much
displeased that a private communication should have
been published
" ' The Pope praised your Graces's letter very much,
and said you took a right Christian view of priestly in-
terference in politics. If religion or necessity require
that they should interfere, they have a right to do 50 ;
if the religion or the lives of the people be in danger, re-
ligion itself and charity calls on them to interfere and to
speak out—but in mere political matters, which are not
connected with religion, priests should not take a part.
This is what the rope said. He kept your Grace's let-
ter, expressing great approbation of it, and said he fully
approved of your views.
