ROBERT STEPHENSON A BOY TO THE LA ST.—
Not unlike, or rather exceedingly like, his father in some
respects, especially in the easy unimposing manner in •which
he went about his life' s work, he was hardly to be accounted
his father's inferior, except perhaps in the quality of heroic
combativeness. Father and son, independently of each
other and both in conjunction, lave left grand and benefi-
cent results to posterity, and both recal to us Monekton
Milnes's men of old, who
Went about their gravest tasks
Like noble boys at play.
This choice quality of unconscicus characters, a geniVnd
boyishness, was the peculiarity of both Stephensons in a
remarkable degree. Even up to his last trip to Non say,
Robert Stephenson was just such " a noble boy at pla y"--
a boy till the last fell-grip of disease laid him low, a nd we
were startled to learn that a great man was pine P :om us,
who had rendered immense services to his coup irr.nen, and
whose ashes have been fitly laid in the national ar.ausoletuu•

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING.
AID TO THE POPE.

The war journals here, which derive their poli-
tico-religious inspiration from Archbishop Cullen,
are seriously endeavouring to get up steam in favour
of a fancy project for recruiting an Irish Contingent
to aid the Pope's efforts to keep his heel upon the
necks of his happy subjects. Leaders, letters, and
suggestions exhorting the lieges to take arms in this
new crusade against liberty are quite the staple of
these papers, one of the most notorious of which
(the Dundalk Democrat) thus pleads Irish bayonets
and the Holy See :
"Thousands upon thousands of our young men go into
the English army, and prove faithful to their enemy; and
it would be strange indeed if we could not muster 20,000 of
them who would enlist under the banner of Pius IX., and
prove the devoted defenders of their illustrious friend.
With a brave and chivalrous army in Rome and the States
of the Church, who would drive away the rabble of cut-
throats and emancipate the subjects of the Pope from their
outrageous tyranny, peace would be restored to the mind of
his Holiness and safety to his person ; and ho would be left in
quiet and security to attend to the duties of his high and holy
mission, in directing the affairs of the Church, whose children
are scattered over the world. Money would also be required,
and that would be forthcoming. The Catholics of Europe
and America would easily contribute £lOO,OOO a-year
to sustain the army of Rome. We should say Ireland would
pay a tribute of £lO,OOO a-year ; England, £5,000 ; Franco,
£20,000 ; Spain, £lO,OOO ; Portugal, £5,000 ; Austria,
£20,000 ; Belgium, £5,000 ; Prussia and other continental
States, £10,000; America, £10,000; Canada, £5,000;
making a grand total of £lOO,OOO to maintain a true and
faithful Irish army in the Eternal City, for the preserva-
tion of the Vicar of Christ from the ruffian hands of his
infidel enemies. As to Ireland's portion of the tribute,
£lO,OOO, it could be made up by 200,000 persons paying ls.
each; or by 2,400,000 persons paying ld. each; or by 1,000
parishes paying £lO each. At all events, it would
come very light if it were sustained by all the male
Catholics in the country over ten years of ago. This
would be the proper way to sympathise with his
Holiness, menaced as ho is by the rabble of revolution-
ists and anarchists, who threaten to lay their sacrilegious
hands on the patrimony of the Holy See. It is the way in
which Pius IX. showed his heartfelt sympathy for Ireland
in the day of her affliction, when one million of human
beings were permitted to die in the midst of plenty. If the
Emperor of the French heard that Catholic Ireland felt in-
dignant at his inexplicable conduct, we may be certain th it
a great deal of good would be effected. Under all the cir-
cumstances, we think the time has come for Ireland to
speak out—for an aggregate meeting to be held in Dublin
—the Most Rev. Dr. Cullen occupying the chair—and for
meetings throughout the provinces, to sympathise with his
Holiness—to collect funds, and recruit an army for the de-
fence of his liberty and the stability of his throne."

A SOLDIER 'SMOTHERED BY HIS STOCK.—A
private of the 29th Regiment was found dead yesterday in
one of the carriages of a train from Driffield to Weedon.
His name was Francis Woods. He was tipsy when he got
in at Weedon, and at Driffield obtained more drink. Whilo
travelling he fell from his seat on the floor, and, being un-
able to riss, was suffocated by the pressure of his stock.
