BANQUE7 AT LIVERPOOL.

The Earl of Derby, after laying the foundation.
stone of the Southern Hospital in Liverpool on Wed-
nesday, attended a banquet in the Town-hall. The
guests were received in the west drawing-room by
the Mayor and Mrs. John Grant Morris, and after
the formal introductions had been gone through,
the Mayor escorted the Countess of Derby to the
ball-room,the Earl favouring the Mayoress with his
arm, Colonel Wilbraham leading Lady Constance
Stanley, and Mr. S. R. Graves, M.P., the Hon. Miss
Wilbraham. The ball-room was magnificently
draped and decorated for the occasion, the chande-
liers being lighted, and a profusion of wax lights
tastefully and artistically placed along the tables
and around the walls. A most recherche banquet
was laid out on three tables that ran the whole
length of the large room. Covers were laid for 130
guests, the following being the principal persons
who had received invitations :—The Earl and
Countess of Derby, Hon. Frederick A. and Lady
Stanley, Colonel, Mrs., and Miss Wilbraham, Lord
Barrington, Lord Stanley, M.P., Admiral and Mrs.
Hornby, Mr. and Lady Alice Des Vceux, the
Bishop of Chester and Mrs. Jacobson, the Dean of
Chester and Mrs. Howson, the Archdeacon of Liver-
pool and Mils Jones, the Rev. Rector and Mrs.
Campbell, the Rev. John and Mrs. Stewart, the
Rev. W. and Mrs. Leveson, the Rev. Gilbert and
Mrs. Sandbach, the Rev. J. and Mrs. Robberts, the
Recorder and Mrs. Aspinall, the Town Clerk and
Mr. Rayner, Colonel Sir John Jones, K.C.8., Lady
Jones; Major Greig, C. 8., and Mrs. Greig; Mr.
Thomas B. Horsfall, M.P., and Miss llorsfall ; Mr.
S. R. Graves, M.P., and Mrs. Graves ; Mr. Charles
Turner, M.P., and Mrs. Turner ; Mr. John Laird,
M.P., ana Mrs. Laird ; Admiral G. Evans, R.N.,
and Mrs. Evans, &c.
After the dessert had been placed on the tables,

The MAYOR rose, and gave in succession the
health of the Queen, the Prince and Princess of
Wales, and the rest of the Royal family, each of
which was duly honoured.
The MAYOR next proposed " The Bishop and
Clergy of the diocese," and in some brief remarks
alluded to the great interest they at all times took
in the local charities.

The Lord Bishop of Ch ESTER responded. He ex-
pressed the great gratification it afforded him to
have been permitted to take part in the ceremony

they had just witnessed. The work they had en-
couraged was eminently and emphatically a Chris-
tian work, the relieving of suffering humanity being
one of the virtues of our Christian faith.
The MAYOR again rose and said—l rise with sin-
cere pleasure to propose the health of my distin-
guished guest to-day, the Earl of Derby. It would
be presumption in me to attempt by my feeble lan-
guage to do justice to the toast. It is, however, un-
necessary, for there is not a place or corner in our
country where it would not be received with feelings
of respect and affection. (Applause.) The noble
earl's life has been one of true patriotism. He has
devoted his great talents and the high prestige of
his name to the service of his country, and in all
the relations of life has set an example of industry
and duty to all, from the highest to the lowest in the
land. (Applause.) I have only now to express our
grateful thanks to his lordship for being with us to
take part in the interesting proceedings of the day,
and I sincerely hope his lordship's health will not
suffer in consequence. I trust that every blessing
may attend the noble lord, and that ho may long be
spared to be the joy and happiness of his own do-
mestic circle, and that his health may enable him to
continue his valuable se:vices to his country. His

lordship has done us a great honour in being pre-
sent and taking a part in the interesting proceedings
of this day, and I have now to give you a tout
which I hope you will receive with all the acclama-
tion it deserves—" The Health of the Right Honour-
able the Earl of Derby."

The toast was enthusiabtieally received, and
honoured with three cheers, which were led off by
his worship.
The Earl of DERBY, on rising to respond, was
greeted with loud and prolonged applause. Ile said
—Mr. Mayor, ladies, and gentlemen, I trust that
upon the present occasion you will not expect from
me anything like a speech, and, if for no other rea-
son, I hope my physical inability to make any such
an effort will be a sufficient excuse. But I trust
you will not measure the amount of gratitude I feel
for the very kind and flattering ;reception you have
given me by the brevity of the terms in which I
have to acknowledge it. It is not the first time by
many that I have had the pleasure in this room of
meeting the society of Liverpool, and I must say
that upon no occasion have I failed to receive the
most gratifying marks of their respect aad esteem.
Those marks, coining from those who are my im-
mediate neighbours, who have tho opportunity of
knowing something of my personal and private, as
well as political life, I need not say, are deeply gra-
tifying. (Hear, hear.) Allow me, Mr. Mayor, to
offer you my best thanks for the manner in which
you have spoken of the public services I have ren-
dered. In the course of a long life--of a political
life now of some five and forty years--I have en-
deavoured faithfully to discharge the duties of the
station I till. (Applause.) But I cannot claim for
myself any special merit for what I have done, in-
asmuch as I have only endeavoured to do that which
I am sure each and all of you endeavour to do—
namely, to perform my duties to the best of my abi-
lity. (Applause.) I cannot suflUently express the
great gratification I felt in being permitted to take
a part in the interesting ceremony of this day. The
memory of that occasion, and the part I took in
laying the foundation stone of the new hospital,
which I trust, at no distant period, will be brought
into operation, will ever live upon my mind, and I
need not remind you thatthe costly And ornamental _

article I shall take away with me will increase the
pleasurable feelings I shall experience on looking
back to the ceremony we have so recently wit-
nessed. (Loud applause.) I beg in conclusion to
retu-n my sincere thanks, and to drink all your
healths. His lordship resurnel his seat amid much
applause.

Mr. S. R. GRAVES, M.P., then rose and s
lord, ladies, and gentlemen, there is still one more
toast on the list, and the Mayor has been goo I enough
to ask me to propose it. It is tit before we separate
to-day that we should at least connect this meeting
with the ceremony in which we all joined in the
morning, which was of so interesting and import-
ant a nature, by drinking " Success to the New
Southern Hospital." It has been thought
that the present was a very inauspicious occasion on
which to lay the foundation-stone of that building.
There can be no doubt that clouds do hang over the
commercial atmosphere of this town ; but while, on
the one hand, that may possibly lead to the idea
that a postponement was desirable, as the present
time was inauspicious ; on the other hand it shows
that, whatever are the circumstances which sur-
round us, Liverpool is not unmindful of those social
obligations which attach to her as a great commu-
nity (applause) ; that however disturbed our feel-
ings may be we never allow our attention to be
distracted from those who are dependent upon us,
and more especially those who look to us to relieve
them in the time of their suffering and pain. (Ap-
plause.) I feel certain, from my own experience,
that there need be no fear with regard to the funds
still required for the completion of the institution
inaugurated to-day. I can assure you, from the
knowledge I have of the liberality of this town,
that whatever you want will be immediately and
generously given. (Applause.) Allow me one
word before I close to express how greatly the plea-
sure of this day has been enhanced by the visit of
the noble earl, and by the presence of his countess.
(Renewed applause.) The work we have been en-
couraging is specially woman's work, for where
there is sickness there is the ministering angel—
(hear, hear) ;—and I was rejoiced to-day, as I am
sure the whole town was rejoiced, to see by her
beaming countenance throughout the ceremony that
has just been concluded the interest that Lady
Derby takes in this valuable institution, and I have
not the slightest doubt whatever but that the town
generally will fully agree in what I now say—that
the visit of the noble earl has been greatly enhanced
by the presence of Lady Derby. (Applause.) I
will now ask you to join with me in wishing cordi-
ally, earnestly, and sincerely, " Success to the New
Southern Hospital," and I will couple with that
the name of the President, Mr. George Henry
Horsfall.

Mr. G. H. HORSFALL, in acknowledgment,
said—Mr. Mayor, my lord, ladies, and gentlemen,
as President of the Southern Hospital for the
present year I rise to respond to the toast Mr.
Graves has so kindly introduced to your notice,
and which you have so cordially received. I think
that both you and your distinguished guests will
have heard sufficient to-day of the Southern Hospi-
tal, but I should be doing an injustice to the feelings
of my colleagues, as well as an injustice to my own
feelings, did I fail on this occasion to thank the
noble earl for coming amongst us, and to thank him
more especially for his liberal and unexpected dona-
tion. (Applause.) .1 think it augurs well from the
remarks of our friend Mr. Graves that we need
have no fear as to the carrying out the erection of
this building. (Hear, hear.) While thanking his
lordship for coming here to-day to lay the founda-
tion stone of the new hospital, I may be allowed
also to express the thanks of the committee and
arso my own thanks to the Lord Bishop of the
diocese, and to the other distinguished visitors who
have come amongst us. Also, sir, I s'►ould wish to
say how deeply the committee of the hospital feel
your kindness, not only on this occasion, but when
you first introduced this matter to the council.
(Hear, hear.) I observe, Mr. Mayor, that the toast
which Mr. Graves has proposed is the last upon
the list ; but taking a hint from that honourable
gentleman, perhaps, Mr. Mayor, I may be allowed
to propose a toast—namely, the health of Lady
Derby and the other ladies who, by their' presence
to-day, have evinced their interest iu our new
hospital. In proposing that toast perhaps I may
be allowed to couple with it the name of the Hon.
Mr. Stanley.

The toast having been duly honoured,
The HOll. FREDERICK STANLEY said • —Mr. Mayor,
I must confess to you that I was utterly taken by
surprise in having my name connected with the
toast, and I am perfectly certain that you will be
ready to overlook any imperfection on my part in
the manner in which I may express, on the part of
those for whom I have to answer, the thanks they
feel for the compliment you have just paid them.
It must have been to all the other ladies who were
present, as well as to Lady Derby and those who
accompanied her, a source of gratitude to find that
in laying the foundation stone of this hospital you
aro only extending the work of an institution which
has been of the most beneficial service to the
crowded neighbourhood in which it is placed. I
am sure I only express the feelings of all the
ladies who witnessed the ceremony when I say that
it was well carried out from beginning to end.
(Applause.)

The party then broke up, and immediately after-
wards the noble earl and his distinguished party
drove away from the Town Hall for Knowsley.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Oct. 24.

A meeting of the Catholic University was held
yesterday in the church attached to the institution,
Stephen's-green, for the purpose of distributing the
gold medals awarded to the successful students in
the last Session, and at the same time to inaugurate
the 14th Session of the University. As this was
the first public occasion on which an answer could
be given to the statements made on behalf of the
Queen's University, it was one of no ordinary im-
portance, and might naturally have been expected
to attract an unusual share of public attention.
Other inducements also were not wanting to insure
a larger attendance, provision having been made for
the performance of vocal and instrumental music
at intervals during the proceedings. A stranger
entering the sacred edifice must have been struck
by what at first would seem singular and even re-
pugnant to his conception of the aspect and cha-
racter of a collegiate ceremonial. The church is
an oblong building, as devoid of any pretensions to
architectural taste as the inside of a narrow flat-
topped trunk, which it resembles in shape. A gallery
extending completely across covers nearly one-third
of the whole space. The light can hardly make its
way through a series of short and narrow windows
running quite close to the flat ceiling. The wails
are striped to a height of about 20ft. with marble
painting in different patterns in dark green and
other gloomy colours ; above these stripes are two
rows of paintings illustrating Scriptural subjects,
the lower row formed in arches containing each
three figures, and the upper row representing
scenic views upon a large scale, with a number of
figures enclosed in broad rectangular panels. A
fringe of gas jets runs along the top at each side,
and supplements the scanty light which is admitted
through the windows. Under the gallery lines of
seats extend across the church, and at right angles
with these were placed rows of chairs along the
wall at each side. Immediately opposite the
principal entrance, which opens upon Stephen's-
green, is the altar dais, approached by stone steps
on eacia side, with a balustrade in front between,
surmounted by a candelabrum at each end. Per-
manent sects were placed for the rector and pro-
fessors o tte.'
e college around the dais. A deep
crimson
concealed the altar, which was in a

recess behind. On the right baud side from the
entrance, about half-way down, is a pulpit, and im-
mediately below it was erected a canopy and throne
for the Chancellor, his Eminence Cardinal Cullen.
Opposite to it was a small side door communicating
with the principal building, which was originally a
private mansion, and, though very large, would be
wholly inadequate for the purposes of a university
intending to hold a high rank or receive a large
number of students. At 3 o'clock visitors began to
assemble, and the seats below the gallery were soin
tilled by a respectable assembly, consisting chiefly
of ladies, Roman Catholic clergymen, and some lay-
men. The gallery overhead was occupied by the
junior students and by a numerous chorus and or-
chestra. Shortly after 3 o'clock the tinkling of a
bell was heard, and in a few minutes afterwards the
Cardinal entered at the side door, followed by a train
of prelates, together with the rector and professors.
The ecclesiastical dignitaries were arrayed in their
episcopal robes, the Cardinal, of course, in scarlet,
the attendant bishops in purple, except one, who
represents an Indian diocese, and wore a black robe,
and the rector and professors in their academic
gowns. The Cardinal took his seat on the chair of
state, with the prelates on each side, and the pro-
fessors ascended the dais. The Lord Mayor locum
tenens, his secretary, and a few others appeared in
the reserved,places, but the vacant lines of easy
chairs, in vain offering temptation to occupanto,
showed too visibly that few, indeed, of the "distin-
guished visitors," for whom they are reported to have
been placed, had come to do honour to the ceremony.
If the ecclesiastics had been withdrawn the empty
benches would have been more painfully manifest.
The following prelates were present : —His Grace
the Most Rev. Dr. Kiernan, Lord Archbishop of
Armagh, and Primate of All Ireland ; the Most
Revs. Dr. Leahy, Lord Bishop of Dromore ; Dr. '
Walsh, Lord Bishop of Ossory ; Dr. IValshe, Lord
Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin ; Dr. Delany, Lord
Bishop of Cork ; Dr. Keane, Lord Bishop of
Cloyne ; Dr. Derry, Lord Bishop of Clonfert ; Dr.
M'Gettigan, Lord Bishop of Raphoe ; and Dr.
Kelly, Lord Bishop of Derry .
A long overture, composed for the occasion by Mr.
Croft, having been performed by the orchestra after
the Cardinal had taken his seat, the Rev. Dr. Wood-
lock, the rector, delivered the inaugural address. He
plunged at once into the question of the time—the
claims of the University to a charter, and, quoting
the words of Cardinal Cullen's pastoral, said that he
concurred in the observation that no other explana-
tion could be offered for the " strange anomaly"
that the institution was denied legal recognition,
except the fact that it was Catholic. In 50 years
hence, perhaps in 20, it would be thought incredible
that the present state of University education should
have been allowed to exist so long. He contrasted
its position with that of other institutions whose
history he traced, beginning with Trinity College :
"By force and chicanery, and especially by the
help of strangers, and by the action of a Govern-
ment whose misrule is now admitted on all hands,
a fraction of the nation, less than one-ninth of it,
usurped the chief education of the country. It is
now some three hundred years since that usurpation
was consummated, and since Queen Elizabeth
founded in this metropolis of our Catholic country
the University of Dublin, to be the bulwark of Pro-
testantism, and an effectual engine for the mainte-
nance of the educational ascendancy of the favoured
class. At the close of the last century, when it was
thought the Catholics of Ireland were sufficiently
degraded in mind and had become very helots in
thought and feeling, our proud Protestant school-
mistress condescended to open her door to such
' Papists' as would knock at it and ask admittance—

"' In bondman's koy,

" With 'bated breath and whispering humbleness."
This concession may have been accepted with thanks
at a time when for Catholics, so long accustomed to
feel the utmost severity of the penal laws, the day
of freedom was just beginning to dawn. But it
does seem incredit‘le that 70 years after that time,
and nearly 40 years after emancipation, which
theoretically declared us equal to our Protestant
fellow-countrymen, we should be told that now
for the first time the existence of the Dublin Uni-
versity has been put forward as an Irish grievance;
that there is not an Irishman who is not proud of
that institution as it stands, and who would not be
sorry to see it altered or overthrown ; that it has
taken hold of the great affections of the great body
of the people, and that no feeling against it exists
on the part of any portion of the population.' This
is said to us by the very defender of Trinity College,
who in the same place tells us that ' the institution
was founded originally for Protestant purposes, and
maintained an essentially Protestant character ever
since, and that the most important and valuable
professorships and scholarships must be held by
members of the Church of England. Arguing a
priori, it would seem impossible that 40 years after
the Emancipation Act such a state of things could
exist in Ireland ; it would seem impossible that a
handful of Protestant clergymen should still be al-
lowed to monopolise the Government and the chief
part of the teaching in an institution which is put
forward by its admirers as the National University
of Catholic Ireland. Would Catholic France allow
such a Etate of things ? Would Protestant England
permit a few Catholic priests thus to rule its educa-
cation even for a day ? And shall we be told that it
is no grievance for Irish Catholics to be obliged to
recur to Protestant clergymen for the higher branches
of their education ?"

Ile next referred to the Queen's University and
Queen's Colleges, which, he admitted, were founded
to meet these inconveniences ; but the founders, be
observed, " had reckoned without their host," and
now, after 20 years, they were unable to enter the
place they would have occupied " if they had bee❑
differently constituted, and even their friends pro-
claim them a failure." No wonder that the Chief
Secretary for Ireland, the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, and Mr. Gladstone declared that university
education was in an unsatisfactory position and
desired to see the question settled. lie then stated
the expectations which they entertained in the fol-
lowing suggestive paragraph :--
" It is admitted, then, upon all hands, that our
claims are just; and the Catholics of Ireland expect
that during the present recess her Majesty's Go-
vernment will arrange the details of a measure by
which we may be put on an equality with all other
classes, and may reap the advantages of university
education. This cannot be done otherwise than by
granting a charter to this institution, and by en-
couraging the cultivation of science in its halls by a
suitable endowment."
He thought it unreasonable that they should be
asked to give external guarantees which were not
required from other universities, but if they
were " left perfectly free in educating the Ca-
tholic youth" they were willing to give every
reasonable guarantee that their teaching would
be in every way worthy of a University. The gua-
rantee was, in fact, found in the character of other
distinguished professors who had given proofs of
the excellence of their teaching. Ile referred to
instances of numerous medical officers in the army
and navy who had studied in their school of
medicine, and of one of their students iu letters
and science who recently gained the sixth place in
mathematics among 301 candidates for the Indian
Civil Service. lie then proceeded to reply to the
able report of the President of the Queen's College,
Galway, who, ho said, had arrived at strange con-
clusions by reasoning still more strange. Mr. Ber-
wick had attributed the falling of in the Queen's
ollege,s to the policy of the late Government, but
it was strange, if the colleges were so popular, that
"when these fundamental principles were assailed"
their friends, instead of rallying round them, fled ;
strange that love so intense should have been so
easily shaken, especially as, under the regulation of
the Senate, under the Supplemental Charter,
greater privileges were granted to the tu.

(CO
• .7
dents of the Queen's Colleges. Li:reply to the
argument that degrees could be obtaiOed from 'the 7/1'
London University, he "protesteVagaimt 'the_-;?
spirit which would bid our country content herself
without a centre of national thought, ana —send our
youth for University honours to an English Univer-
sity, telling them to ignore their country." But
if the argument were good, what necessity for the
Queen's University itself ? and why did not the
Colleges, for the sake of peace, resign their paltry
privileges if they were nothing worth, and send
their students to that other University? Mr. Ber-
wick asked how it happened that the students who
left the Queen's Colleges did not go to the Catholic
University. They left because they did net like
the institutions, and they h )pe.l to obtain Uni-
versity privileges elsewhere, and they did not
enter the Catholic University because their hopes
were not realised. With respect to the charge
nf being a " sectarian insthution," he observed
that Protestant students were not exclud,..d
from their medical lec:ures, but they would
stand firm on one pint—they would have no pro-
fessors in any department save those whose
principles they knew to be in accordance with the
teaching of the Catholic Church. As regards the
decrease in the number of their students, it was not
so considerable as Mr. Berwick supposed. The num-
bers given for their session of 1863-61 he confessed
might not have been accurate, owing to the diffi-
culty of obtaining accurate returns in an unrecog-
nised institution. Besides, they had in that session
evening classes, which they afterwards thought it
desirable to suspend, and it should also be remem-
bered that in that year, owing to well-known
changes in the medical schools of Dublin, they had
a greater number of students than in subsequent
years. But what was to be said of the want of
sympathy for denominational education on the part
of the laity? To that question he replied in the
concluding passages of his address.:—
" I shall merely remind you that the number of
students in our halls must depend entirely on the
advantages we can offer to youths and to their
parents and guardians ; that there is no religious
obligation to enter the Catholic university ; that the
religious obligation is limited to the duty of not in-
curring the risk of Catholic faith and morals in-
volved in frequenting the mixed, or Protestant col-
leges ; that, as long as legal recognition is refused
to the Catholic university, the advantages we can
offer are no other than those given by an able staff
of professors, who have proved their efficiency by
the success of their pupils, whose erudition is known
throughout all the learned societies of Christendom,
and is confessed, as Mr. Berwick is our witness,
even by our opponents ; that, in fine, the argument
of those who cast in our face the smallness of our
numbers is precisely similar to that used in times
gone by by other enemies of Ireland and of Ire-
land's faith, who made it penal for Irish Catholics
to acquire knowledge, and then upbraided them
with being ignorant. I conclude, and in doing so
I adopt in part the thought of the learned president.
The laity of Ireland have read the history of their
country ; our rulers, too, have, I hope, read the his-
tory ;of Ireland, and begin to see, what we have
long known and felt, that the attempt to force upon
us educational systems not according with our reli-
gious sentiments, as well as every other attempt to
maintain ascendancy and to hinder equality by impos-
ing civil disabilities for religions opinions has been
a full and constant source of misery to Ireland ;
it has blighted every policy, however wise or good,

and that as long as there remains a particle of the
old ascendancy, politital, or educational, so long we
shall be a divided, and, consequently, a misgoverned
people. Let us hope, however, the day is not
distant when every vestige of ascendancy, every
cause of disunion being removed, the poet's vision
may be realised of our common country, when—
" 'Like the rainbow's light,
Her various tints unite,
And form in Heaven's sight
One arch of peace.' "
The choir next performed part of the ode corn-
posdd in celebration of Cardinal Cullen's return to
Ireland in his new rank, after which the secretary,
Mr. Scrattan, read the names of the successful cad-
didates and the prizes awarded to them, comprising
two exhibitions and 12 class prizes for the winter
session of 1806-7, and one gold medal and ten class
prizes for the summer sessioa of 1867. There was
also one prize for Latin verse, for Latin prose, and

two for Grook prose. The cardinal invested the
solitary student with the gold medal, and the re-
mainder of the ode was then sung. The perform-
ances elicited warm plaudits.
Cardinal Cullen brought the proceedings to a
close in a short address. He was not at all surprised,
he said, that the University had to encounter diffi-
culties. Fo great institution could be brought to
perfection in a short time. The Catholic Univer-
sity was progressing gradually and slowly, but he
trusted that in the end it would be " what the peo-
ple of Ireland desired—a great centre of education
and a great means of raising up the name and the
fame of this old country." Other colleges, too, had
difficulties to contend with first. They all knew, he
said, how rich Trinity College was at present. It
had its 200,000 acres of land, and a vast amount of
money, in the shape of supplies. But in the first few
3ears os its existence that University made no pro-
gress, and he thought he had read in the history of
Ireland that 50 or 60 years after the University had
been founded it was reduced to sueh straits that it
had to subsist upon donations given by the sol-
diers in Ireland. They should not be surprised,
then, that the Catholic University should get on
slowly. On the contrary, they should be surprised
that it had made such progress. Its cause was a
great and glorious one. Its great object was "to
prevent the spread of bad education and to promote
good education in the country." Ile referred to the
conduct of the students at Liege and Ghent as a
warning. Good education consisted in a knowledge
of religion, in attachment to religion, and in being
able to discharge the duties of whatever station a
young man was called to do in this world, and that
was what the professors of the Catholic University
sought to give. Such an institute deserves every
assistanze and encouragement from the country,
and he was sure the people of Ireland would con•
tinue to assist it as far as they could. his Emin-
ence, the prelates, and professors then left the
church, while the orchestra played a masch, and the
assembly dispersed.
His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin held his an-
nual visitation of the rural parishes of the diocese
in Christ Church Cathedral. At the close of the
usual service, a sermon was preached by the Rev.
L. B. Strene, M.A., rector of Delgany. The sub-
ject of his discourse was the duty of pastors, by
attention to the details of their ministerial office, to
retain the confidence of their people.

P. O'Brien and J. Brien, who were charged some
days since with .having arms concealed in a house in
Francis-street, were again brought up before the
magistrate at the head police-office yesterday.
Brien, who is an old man, was liberated on bail.
O'Brien was committed for trial at the Commission
which will commence on Friday. The calendar is
rather heavy, and includes the names of the follow-
ing prisoners, who are to be tried for being members
of the Fenian conspiracy, and engaged in treason-
able practices :--Generals 0. Fariola, W. Halpin,

Throughout the year, whether summer heats or wintry
chills rule the atmosphere, these remedies are always ap-
plicable, and will never fail to reward those sufferers who
give a trial to their efficacy. This ointment is invaluable
for the relief of the many accidents which happen to chil-
dren. Chops, cuts, burns, pimples, and boils, are relieved,
and speedily cured, by it all external inflammation, car-
buncles, whetlows, sprains, and erysipelas are restrained
in their painful courso by this cooling unguent, and con-
ducted to a thorough cure. Assisted by the purifying
