CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.—The Committee
named to consider the expediency of changing the day of
meeting, decided yesterday, that the Association hold their
assemblies henceforth on Thursday instead of Saturday.
This arrangement met the approval of the Committee both
as regarded the interests of the Catholic body and the con-
venience of the Press. Messrs. BARRETT, STAUNTON,
CoNwAY, and O'Down, on the part of their respective
Journals, acquiesced in the expediency of the change. The
Committee was an open one--and the report will be made
formally at the next meeting of the Association.—Dublin.
Freeman's Journal.

In the garrison of Spandau, near Berlin, was
a non-commissioned officer, who bad been before in the
Austrian service, holding then, probably, a higher rank,
but who had inlisted in the Prussian service, as a private,
where he was promoted, on account of his talents, and
made a non-commissioned officer. He had brought with
him a wife, but given himself up to drinking, during
which indulgence be committed many excesses. He lately
asked his wife, at three o'clock in the morning, to pro-
cure him brandy ; as she could not succeed in this, he
sent his child for some, and desired his wife to bring him
a pail full of water, to wash himself. She complied with
his request. He not only killed her, but also put the en-
trails of the murdered woman into the pail-full of water.
After this cannibal-like action, he proceeded to the Corn-
man ler of the company, notified the death of his wife,
end begged for money to cover the expenses of her burial.
The Captain sent a surgeon, but the serjeant refused to
show him the corpse, which was covered with a sheet
The surgeon suspected that murder had been committed ;
and, upon snaking a report to that effect, the murderer was
taken into custody. He denied the fact, but acknowledged
that, when his wife had died, be had taken the entrails
out of her, as she had frequently complained of suffering
from a tape-worm, and he, therefore, wished to ascertain
the truth. There are many symptoms that this man is
deranged. Thus far the event is horrible; but the mur-
dered woman is the sister-fu-fatv of ANDREW Hoeyea
(the Tyrolese patriot shot by the French). She had be-
trayed him at the time for a great reward, in consequence
of which he was seized and executed.- After such a
dreadful and blood-thirsty deed she dared not remain in
her own country, but fled on that account with the blood-
money into the Austrian dominions, -where' the got ac.;
quainted with this non-commissioned officer,-who mat.
ried her for the sake of her ill-gotten- money, Which, he
spent long ago : a terrible retribution !—Nurensbueg Cor-
respondent. ,

WEATHER.—The weather coLtinues dry, and
exceedingly favourable for the harvest in this quarter. Ac-
counts to the same effect reach us from every quarter of the
United Kiagdowt- Glasgow Courier.

We understand that a fellow in this county
was lately suspected' by a girl of the town of carrying on
an illicit connection with two infant female children,
neither of whom was ten
years of age. It is said, that
seeing him several times with the children in the fields,
she watched him; but the fellow observing he was watched,
did not complete his purpose that time. The next day,
however, he met the girl, and offered to treat her with
some gin. This confirmed her former suspicioni; she
"then obtained an interview with one of the children, and
the child confessed the whole. The fellow, it seems, re-
ceiving some intimation of what had transpired absconded,
'and has not since been heard of.—Brighton Gazette.

'SLIGO I'iiGTESTANT MEETING.

The Rev. Mr. SEii+ioUlt rose amidst loud cheer-
ing, and spoke as follows
iise, Sir; under some embarrassitictit. My
phere is not politics) but retigitin that Established
Church to which I belong, and which you have so
warmly cheered, has not lowered herself from her
high elevation—her eyes and her thoughts have
been fixed beyond the starry firmament, and have
not been bent down on the little politics of this.
wrirld. And she has iichiy deserved by her lofty
character and high bearing in these strange times,
that attachment which the warmth of your cheers
.for her prosperity seems to indicate.—(Cheers.)—
It is now the manifest, as it is the avowed object of
our opponents, to tear down the Eatablished
Church p bitt whether they look forward to building
Up another to themselves upon its ruins, rernuiris yet
to be seen ; this object they hope to effect by bullying
the mind of England,andby frightening the Adminis-
tration of the country,and both of these they have in a
great degree, effected : for why should we close our,
eyes to the truth ?—(Hear.)—England has been
bullied) and the Administration has been frightened
--your friends are dropping around you at the blast
of" fear, us fast as the leaf of autumn--their hands
are palsied, and their tongues are silenced--" the
whole Isle is frightened from her propriety."
(Cheering.) But, Sir, I have not come here for
the mere purpose of hearing and making speeches--
I have not come here to identify myself with party
or to dilate upon politics; but I have conic here to
meet the assembled aristocracy of this county, and
lay before them, with the simplicity and candour
which become a man of my profession, the true causes
which have led to the present melancholy predomi-
nance of Popery in this kingdom, that so knowing
its causes, they may apply that remedy yet in their
power. (Hear, hear.) It is the fashion of the
liberals of the present day to censure us for not re-
forming the people; I ask what could we do when
we had to deal with an Aristocracy who preferred a
high rent from Papists to a moderate rent from Pro-
testants ?—(Loud cheers.) What could we do then
when we had to deal with a peasantry, who, in ad-
dition to their ignorance and superstition, had a direct
and positive interest in continuing Popery ?
(Cheers.) I shall summon a witness from the tomb
to answer; 1 call forth from his shroud the spirit of
Sir Arthur Chichester, who, about two centuries
ago, governed this country, in a capacity somewhat
similar to our present Lord Lieutenant—he has left
it on record, that Ireland could not then be reform-
ed, because the people were afraid—because con-
verts were on one hand persecuted by the Priests,
arid on the other, cast off or neglected by the Aris-
tocracy and geutry—(hear, hear).--and these two
causes, to the disgrace of our (lay, still exist in the
fullness of their force.—(Cheers.) But what we
could not effect, was in some small degree effected
by a great political and constitntional measure which
passed about this time—l allude to the passing of
the Octennial Bill, carried, I believe, in 768.
(Hear, hear.) Previous to this measure, the Irish
Colonial Parliament had its existence limited solely
by the demise of the Crown, so that the Members
of the House of Commons were very seldom sent to
an election, and consequently county influence and
electioneering politics seldom occupied the minds of
our Country Gentlemen ; but the Octennial Bill,
which limited the duration of Parliament, and of
course sent the Members back more frequently to
their constituents, compelled them to attend more
closely to their county influence.—(Hear.) But
hbw did this affect the religion of the people ?
(Hear.)=--bow did this affect the Protestant and
Popish popUlatiOn ?—(Hear, hear.) This question
is answered by recollecting that at the time the elec-
tive
franchise was confined exclusively to Protes-
tants—(hear)—the Romanist had no franchise—
(hear)—from this it naturally resulted that every
gentleman of property who wi,hed for county in-
fluence, either for the election of himself or the elec-
tion of his friend, was necessitated to promote Pro- ;
testantism—(cheers)—a Popish peasantry could not
vote, could not strengthen his influence at an elec-
tion, and became a dead weight on his hands—while
a Protestant tenantry, by being able to vote in their
capacity of Protestant freeholders, became an object
of the greatest desire to our country gentlemen.—
Immediately on the desires and intentions of the
landlords being known, for many of them brought
from the North of Ireland--that swarming hive of
Protestantism—large numbers, and colonized them
on their estates, while others brought them from
England for the same purpose,—(cheers)--multi-
tudes of those who, from motives of fear, persecu-
tion, interest, or similar motives, had avowed Popery,
now gladly flung its nonsense to the wind, and, as
thousands are now anxious to doif they dare, avowed
themselves Protestants.—(Loud cheers.) The
landlords had, for the sake of filthy lucre, for sordid
gain, for a paltry increase of their rental, removed the
Protestants from their estates, and now, by the
Octennial Bill, they discovered that they had been
only ruining their own Interests, while they weae
ruining Protestants, and they were compelled, like
Marius of old, to sit and weep amid the ruins ;
(cheers)—but they did riot content themselves with
drinking toasts and making speeches on their de-
plorable condition.—(Hear !)—but they manfully
put their shoulders to the work to undo what they
had already done, to gather together the scattered
ruins, and build up what they had before cast down
—they commenced the work of Protestantising their
tenantry—they knew that it would be a work of
time, but they knew also that Rome was not built
in a day, and that it never would have been com-

pleted if it never had been begun—(Cheers)--they
therefore begun the work—they encouraged Pro-
testantism openly and fearlessly, and when a holding
came into their hands by the expiration of a lease, by
ejectment, or by any other means, nothing, not even
the darling offer of a high rent, could tempt them to
give it to any but a Protestant.—(Cheers.)—what
I am now saying is in the recollection of many of
those who hear me; arid I now appeal to. them as
living witnesses for the truth of what I have now
stated. For myself, I have to state that I know of
many estates, which are now tenanted by the Protes-
tants, or the children of the Protestants, who were
introduced from the passing of the Octennial Bill, in
the year 1768, to the extending of the Elective
Franchise Bill, in the year 1793.—(Hear,
And if this system'had been permitted to operate a
little longer, we would now be living in a happy and
tranquil state, because a Protestant country ;
(Cheers)—but it had an end after a short existence
of little more than twenty years. The much that
was effected in that short time shows how much
more woUld'have been perfected had it been per-
mitted to continue, and how very much you have it
in your power to effect nor if your hearts are in the
right place.—(Continued eheering.)--We have now
come down to the last century ; it was a period
of extreme and intense agitatien—the patriotism of
the day partook somewhat,.of knight-errantry, and
even the councils of the nation seem to have been
conducted in rather too romantic and theatrical a
style. In the year ninety-two or ninetyzthree the
elective franchise was extended to the RomariCa-
tholics.—(Hear.)—lt is not the place of one who is
a Minister of Religion, and I trust I have a jest
.sense of the office, to enter on political questions,
and therefore I shall make no comment on the po-
litical right or expediency-of that measure ;..I leave
that task to the laity; but I feel that it is within
my sphere to comment on the effects of that measure
on the religion of the People.—(Hear.)--The effect
was most injurious on Protestantism • it undid
the good which the Octennial Bill had done; and
brought us back to tile times'When the Protestant
tenant was removed to make way for the Papists,
for the sake of the higher rent, and additionally to
this, for the sake of cutting up his comfortable farm
into petty holdings for Popish Forty
Shillingers
(Hear, hear.)—By means of the Octennial Bill, the
Protestant had an interest by which he' could
counterbalance the interest' of the Papist.—(Hear,
hear.)--'When a farm was to be let, both parties
sent in their proposals—the Papist offered a high
rent, -Which was a potent argument—the Protestant

presented his electioneering interest, Which Wig ito
small inducement; between these two, the high
rent and the vote at an election, the landlord had
hit choke, add generally when he received such pro-
posal; he would whistle
flow happk he could be with either,'
and only regretted that he could skit cotfibine the
charms of both in one person—(Hear, hear)—lit it
by extending the elective franchise to the Roman-
gratified—the Protestant
li6tosst'litihs
sionl7,ry wishspecialhisas
interest, and his farm was
taken froth him) either to be given to a Papist singly,
or to be cut up in petty freeholds for Papists.—
(Loud cheers.)—The final result of this is known to
every man—a result which, while it is laughed at by
the maudlin affectation of liberalism that marks
these tithes) must be deplored by emery thinking main
The Papists have already obtained almost every
holding in the country—(Hear, hear)—they laugh
at the Protestant for his misfortunes, and despise his
landlord for his selfishness—(Loud cheers)—while
the poor neglected Protestant is removed day after
day from your estates. He is left to mourn on- his
native mountains, to weep along his native streams,
with his dear one and his little ones, over the wreck
of their vani3hed hopes. Such is the present state
of the country. There is but one only effectual re-
medy, and that remedy is a Protestant tenantry.—
(Tremendous cheers.)—You must encourage Pro-
testantism, by every honest and Christian means, on
your estates; every other remedy—and I allude
particularly to those remedies of violence suggested
by respective factions, will only have effect for a
while—(hear)—they may forcibly restrain the agita-
tion of to-day, but it will only break out again to-
morrow with greater violence from its previous re-
straint.—(Hear.)—You must work out Popery, root
and branch, or you never can succeed. Popery is
the root of all our evils in Ireland; and if you wish
'to banish these evils, you must tear up the very
roots. It appears, as lam informed, as nearly as
can be collected from official returns, that last year,
one single year, upwards of twenty-five thousand
Protestant souls emigrated from Ireland.—(Hear.)
You are day after day compelling them to emigrate,
and then you flippantly turn round, and Ivith an
affectation of regret complain that you cannot find
them.—(Cheering.) Is this right ? is this honest ?
Yet it is not too late : stop the stream of Protestant
emigration, by turning its fertilizing Ns aters into
your own estates; they will repay you far richer
than the overflowing of the Nile repaid the Egyp-
tians.—(Loud cheers.)—lf emigration must take
place, let it be a Popish emigration ; au increase in
our exports of that class would indeed be a blessing
to this country. The truth is, the Protestants are
not encouraged, not because they cannot be found,
but because they cannot afford to pay so high a rent
as the Papists—(hear, hear)—there lies the rub.
The Protestant requires decent clothing, and that
costs something ; he requires reasonable food, and
that costs something; he requires education, that
costs something ; he requires some ordinary decen-
cies and comforts in his house and living, and they
cost something; and above all, he will not covenant
to pay what be knows he cannot pay, so that alto-
gether his expences are such as to prevent him pay-
ing so high a rent as the Papist—(cheers)—who,
if he has any hovel, which cannot be called a human
dwelling, with a pig at one end and a few potatoes
at the ether, and a wife in the midst, to assist in in-
creasing the seven millions of the Priests'" heredi-
tary bondsmen," requires no more except an oppor-
tunity of promising more than he can -ever pay, and
therefore being at little or no expence, he is able to
offer a higher rent and to outbid the Protestant
(Cheers.) Such, Sir, is my answer to this objec.
tion which is so frequently urged, and every indiVi•
dual whO now hears me, knows that it is true.

(Hear.) There is a Protestant and a Popish price
for land, and he who will have valuable Protestants
on his estate must depart from his Popish price.
Here, I fear, that the matter will stick ; it will be
as hard to persuade z gentleman to fall from one
thousand pounds a year to eight hundred, as it wa3
to prevail on the lawyer in the gospel to " sell all,
and save his soul." There it will stick, as it did
through the last century, so it will through the
future, till some terrible revolution shall destroy the
present system of property altogether. (Cheers.)

CASE OF SEDUCTION, THEFT, AND

ADULTERY.

The Cour Royal (Douay) has been occupied with
the following case :
A woman lived quietly in her house. She was
young, and yet was the mother of three children.
Her husband, named Lasselin, kept a public-house.
A young man, who had, it is said, the character of a
Lovelace, was not unsuccessful in his attempts upon
Lasselin's wife. It appeared that the husband, an
easy man, was for a long time blind to their inter-
course; but comb% home one night he was inspired
with jealousy at seeing his wife resting familiarly
upon the shoulder of the young seducer, who was
seated at table with two of his friends drinking a
pot of

They rallied the poor husband upon his jealous
temper, the lover telling him in joke that he was the
master of the house, and the child of which the
wife was pregnant was his, and that he (the hus-
band) had nothing to say. The husband defended

mself against the imputation of jealousy, and de-
clared that he cared so little for his wife, that he
would give her up for a pot of beer. The bargain
was struck, and a young notary's clerk, possessed of
the grifibmailie notariale, wrote upon a stamped
paper a regular transfer of the woman by sale in due
form, with a clause of surrender of a very particular
nature, the precise terms of which, out of regard to
decency, we cannot specify. The seller (husband),
the purchaser (lover), and the wife (sold), signed
the deed as parties. The two young men who were
present affixed their marks as witnesses. The
parties who signed considered the act as a joke
of no consequence. This was not, however, the
opinion of the Canibray Lovelace.' ,The writing
was scarcely in his hand before he perceived all the
advantage that he could derive from it, that of sepa-
rating the husband from his wife, by reminding her
of the disdain of her husband, and the latter of the
equivocal connexions of his wife. The exasperated
wife could not fail to throw herself . into his arms :
and should the-husband complain of it, there was his
signature, the exhibition of which would coVer him
with ridicyle, and nullify his claims in law. These
considerations did not altogether escape Lasselin
and his friends. 'They did all they could to induce
the Sieur Montigny. to destroy the-evidence of the
joke, which, falling into the hands, of other persons,
might assume a 'different character. Urged by these
solicitations, he appeared to give way, and burned
before their eyes a paper which he said . was the
paper in question, but it was no such thing. These
facts occurred towards the end. of February-- A
short time after, the wife, after robbing her husband's.
house, taking silver plate, her husband's ivatches a
considerable sum of money, the receipts of the public-
house of which she was the sole manager, having sold
every thing in the house, even to the mattresses, and
consigned all the articles she had removed to her
seducer, was by him directed to. Paris. He accom-
panied her as fir as Chatelet, where they passed the
night together, and he returned the next day to
Cambray. Some days after he came to Paris; where.
he lived openly with the wife of Lasselin. The un-
fortunate woman became a' mother, and maternal
affection soon awakened in her bosom those senti-
ments which an irregular passion had absorbed.
Recollecting herself, she beheld the frightful prospect
prepared -for her by the criminal act which she had
allowed herself to commit. She ventured to speak
of returning, her language gavb offenee,—coldness
and reproaches were the consequence. Under these
circumstances, taking 600 and odd francs from their
common purse, she got iiito the diligence in Paris, to
return to Cambray. •On her•arrival, she employed
the friends of her husband, who, by their solicita;
Lions, procured a reception in her husband's houSe,
and a perfect reconciliation; . The,aeducer yeturning
to Carabray, caused the victim of his seduction to be
arrested npon a -charge of having robbed him at Paris j

. On behalf of the wife, as well as her accotriplite;
it was maintained, that even if the adultery was
prored, the action of the husband could not be
sustained; that, being reconciled to his wife with a
perfect knowledge of the wrong offered to his
honour, he was debarred from the suit.
In respect to the robbery, it was alleged, oh be-
half of the wife, that no credit should be given to
the interested declaration of the seducer, provoked
by an ungenerous feeling.
The Court discharged the wife, and Montigny,
the seducer, from the sentence pronounced against
them for adultery in chief: and confirmed the sea-
tence pronounced against the wife for adultery and
theft, and condemned her to four years' imprisonment
and a fine of 16 francs ; rejecting the appeal of the
Attorney-General.
