IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING.
LATEST FROM ROME.
Mr. John Francis Maguire, M.P., has received a
letter from a gentleman of high position in Rome,
of which the following is an extract. It bears date
the 14th of January inst.:—

" It is most consoling to see with what magna-
nimity the Holy Father bears his present trials.
On New Year's-day he had occasion to address the
French General and officers, who came to wish him
a happy New Year; and in the most emphatic
manner he condemned the principles enunciated in
the pamphlet entitled L. Pape et le Congtio. A
rupture seems imminent with the Emperor of the
French, but, nevertheless, the Pope has so great a
confidence in God and the
.justice of his cause, that
every one who sees him, as I have already remarked,
is astonished at the magnanimity with which
he awaits the contest. The reports of the meetings
in Ireland, which aro all read to him, continue to
give him the greatest consolation. The pastorals,
addresses, and letters which he is daily receiving
from all parts of the world would fill many volumes.
There never was a moment in the history of the
Church when the whole Catholic world was so una-
niMons on the expediency of maintaining the tem-
poral power of the Pope. Pius IX. was never
greater than he is at this moment. The Pope is
never so great as when he suffers, especially if he
bear his sufferings with-the sublime calmness, pa-
tience, resignation, equanimity, and I may say
Christian fortitude with which Pius IX. bears his."

MR. HUGH MASSY O'GRADY.
The mystery respecting the fate of this unfortunate
gentleman is at length cleared up so far as the find-
ing of the body ; but how he actually met his un-
timely death is not very clear, but that it was the
result of an accident there appears to be little or no
doubt. The Linzeriel _Reporter of yesterday gives
the following particulars of the discovery of the
remains :
The body of Mr. Hugh Massy O'Grady was this
day discovered, about half-past 11, a.m., floating in
what is called the Dead River,' which flows near
New Pallas station, and was at once recognised,
and brought on shore. The unfortunate gentle-
man, it is thought, accidentally fell into the river,
the night being dark on which he left the train at
the New Pallas station. The river had been fie-
cluently dragged, but without avail, and all was
mystery until the discovery was made this day as
above stated. Mr. John Massy, of Glengar, uncle
of the deceased lamented, gentleman, was imme-
diately on the spot, and had the body removed to
Castlegarde, where it awaits the coroner's inquest,
which, we believe, will be held to-morrow. There
are no marks whatever, on the body, except that it
has suffered somewhat from decomposition, conse-
quent on the length of time it has been in the
water—just one month. Mrs. H. Massy O'Grady,
widow of the deceased gentleman, who had been
in Dublin for some time, was returning home to
Castlegarde b the midday train, and was met at
the Limerick Junction by Mrs John Massy, who
imparted the said intelligence to her. She appeared
to be deeply affected. Mrs. H. M. O'Grady was
accompanied by her son, a fine boy aged about twe
years. It was thought by very many that Mr. H.
M. O'Grady was alive—but the fact is now un-
happily known."
Another account says :—" A glass which Mr.
O'Grady
was in the habit of wearing (so it was
stated) was firmry fixed in his eye. The deceased
gentleman was son of the late Walter O'Grady,
Q.C., and grandson of the first Lord Gullamore.
Mr. O'Grady was returned on the roll of high she-
riffs for the county of Limerick for the present
year, and was extremely and deservedly respected
by all his acquaintance, whether of the better or
humbler classes. An inquest on the body will take
place to-morrow, when it is hoped some light will
be thrown upon the melancholy transaction, which
has for so long a time engaged the public atten-
tion."

[A DVERTISNIIIINT.]-EPPS'S (Homosopaillie Chemist)
CocoA..—This esteemed preparation is sold by the prin-
cipal grocers at L. 6d. per lb., in 11b., Vb., and ilk
packets. Each packet is labelled " James Epps, Homoeo-
pathic chemist, London."
[AnvEirrisrmExT.]—Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—
Disordered Stomach. —Whenever the stomach fails faithfully
to perform its functions, indigestion i■ produced, the issue
of which is uncertain. The food, after passing undigested
through the sluggish stomach, irritates the bowels, and
sets up diarrhoea, which probably relieves the sufferer for a
time. To rectify the disordered digestion, and check the
first morbid symptoms, nothing previously prescribed
equals Holloway's Digestive Pills, which, in severe cases,
should be assisted by his Ointment, rubbed over the stomach
and right side perseveringly for ten minutes twice a day.
The united action of these remedies over stomach, liver,
and bowels, is immediate, beneficial, and luting ; they re-
store order and ease, and simultaneously remove the cause
and consequences of the disease.

2 lIE NAVY.

It is now stated that the Nelson will for the pre-
sent not be undocked until the works in connexion
with lengthening the docks shall be further ad-

Flag Lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Sir Alexander
Milne, K.C.8., Commander in• Chief on the North
American and West India station.
The Prussian screw frigate Arcona, under orders
to proceed to Southampton for docking and repairs,
was yesterday still detained at Spithead by the
violence of the weather.
The screw steamship Nile, Capt. Arthur P. E.
Wilmot, C. 8., at Devonport, had her lower masts
stripped for overhauling on Saturday.
The paddlewheel steam sloop Prometheus, 5,
Lieut. Theodore B. Hollingworth, commanding,
from Portland, arrived at Plymouth on Friday, to
fit and take in stores for foreign service.
The naval transport Diligence, James Head,
master, was hauled into Keyham basin, Devonport,

The gunboats Porpoise and Lark were taken out
of No. 1 dock at lieyham, Devonport, on Friday ;
and the Shamrock, Commander Edye, and survey-
ing gunboat Magpie were placed in dock.
Preparations are being made at Portsmouth on a
somewhat extensive scale for witnessing the launch
of the Prince of Wales, screw three-decker, which
event is fixed to take place on Wednesday next.
The ship will be fitted with engines of 800-horse
power; and her dimensions and armament are
as follow :—Length between perpendiculars, 232 ft. ;
length of keel for tonnage, 213 ft. 3Z- in. ; breadth,
extreme, 60 ft. 2 in.; breadth, for tonnage, 59 ft.
4 in. ; breadth, moulded, 58 ft. 6 in.; depth in hold,
25 ft. 6 in.; burthen in tons, 3,993 74-94th. Ar-
mament--Lower deck : 8-inch 65 cwt., 9 ft. in
length, 10 in number ; 32-pounders, 58 or 56 cwt.,
9 ft. 6 in. in length, 26 in number. Middle deck :
8-inch 65 cwt., 9 ft. in length, 6in number ; 32-
pounders, 58 or 56 cwt., 9 ft. 6 in. in length, 30 in
number. Main deck : 32-pounders, 42 cwt., 8 ft.

25 cwt., 6 ft. in length, 20 in number ; 68-pounder,
pivot, 95 cwt., 10 ft. in length,'l in number. Total,

It is not expected that any of the members of the
Royal family will be present, but it is propable that
the ceremony of christening the vessel will be per-
formed by the Princess of Leiningen.
The greatest activity still prevails in Portsmouth
dockyard,, and is we believe without precedent.
There are at the present time about 8,000 men em-
ployed in that establishment, or more than double
the permanent staff, and the sum paid weekly in
wages amounts to no less than £9,000. A more
correct idea of the vast increase of labour hero may
be formed if we state that prior to the Russian war
the average payment was only £3,000 per week,
and it did not throughout that war exceed £5,000,
or £4,000 less than at the present time.
The following appointments have been made at
the Admiralty :—J. A. Miller, surgeon, to the Blen-
heim ; Dr. John Teenan, surgeon, to the Diadem ;
William Robert Green, acting third-class assistant-
engineer, to the Rhadamanthus, as supernumerary;
John Symons, acting third-class assistant-engineer
to the Wellington, for service in the Sheldrake;
W. B. Edkins, clerk, to the Donegal ; Godfrey
Foster, clerk, to the Queen ; and Percy IL French,
assistant-clerk to the Mutine.
