%1 iihout meaning. The letter from the College of
Proppganda proves two things—vz., that
the Pope'-us the will, but has ant the power, to arrest
the Irish agitation. It appears from this letter, that
in March, 1639, nenrly six years ago, the Pontiff
addressed the Rt ma o Catholic Bight pa
through this same College of Propaganda, vehe-
mently exhorting them to reprove such of their
brother bishops, and such of the priesthood has had
embarked in political agitation, and to bring them by
persuasion to more sane counsels. Now the whole
world knows—and indeed the last letter of the Pro-
paganda confesses—that the admonition of 1839 was
utterly inoperative; and what reason is there to sup-
pose that the admonition of October, 1844, would
be one jot more effectual if the spirit of 1839 con-
tinued ? The spirit of 1839 is, however, happily ex-
piring, in some degree, because of the overthrow of
the chief incendiary by the Attorney-General for
Ireland ; in still greater measure because of the ex-
traordinary prosperity with which, under Providence,
Sir Robert Peel's Government blessed the island. The
Papal admonition of 1839 is now, we believe, for the
first time made public. If we are correct in this
opinion, its long concealment is deserving of con-
sideration. Why did not the Romanist bishops make
the admonition public ? Without pretending to hold
a very high opinion of these gentlemen, we must
give them credit for so much common sense as
enables them to see that they would gain nothing,
but must lose much, by an anarchical jacubin
revolution, though prosecuted under Romanist co-
lours. They must be perfectly of one mind with
the Pope in this respect, and, in their secret con-
science, as inimical to the repeal agitation as his
Holiness. Why, then, did they suppress the letter of
March, 1839, if, as our impression is, it never was
made public ? The plain answer is, that they did
not like to expose the Pope's authority, and their
own authority, to contempt, by making public a
document, upon which either they could not dare
to act or could not hope to act successfullly. 'We
challenge any other explanation. How happens
it then that Archbishop Crolly and his brethren
now venture to obey the Pope, and even hope that
their own subordinate authority will be respected ?
Ask the Right Hon. T. B. Smith, or Sir Robert
Peel, they are the parties who have so far rescued the
country from an insane anarchy, as to allow scope
for the course of civil and peaceful influence
whether having, or not having, legal authority.
In 1839, Ireland was enjoying the blessings showered
upon her by the Mulgrave Administration, and
then no Roman Catholic Archbishop or Bishop
dared to open his lips for peace, though " vehe-
mently" urged to do so by the head of his Church.
In 1844, however, after three years of " Orange 1
domination," as it has been called, the Roman Ca-
tholic Bishops find themselves perfectly free to pro-
mulgate and to enforce the pacific admonition of
Rome. That this is a happy change no one will dis-
pute, and if the Right Hon. T. B. Smith and Sir
Robert Peel are n,:t its authors, we know not to
whom it is to be ascribed.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—Sir Robert Peel's prospects for the
coming session are by no means of a cheering kind.
A storm is brewing which will require all his skill in
State-pilotage to weather. The Ultra-Protestant
party in Ireland—dissatisfied and alarmed by the
indicated policy of the Government, so contrary to the
expectations they had been led to entertain of the
course which would be adopted by the Right Hon.
Baronet when he supplanted the Whigs—have been for
some time preparing for a decisive movement, by which
their sentiments would become fully known and:under-
stood. The first step has been taken ; and will, it
is understood, be followed by others equally explicit.
Nine out of the fourteen Bishops of the Irish
Church have united in a protest against the Na-
tional System of Education in Ireland. The Right
Rev. Prelates who sign the document thus place
upon record the reasons of their own opposition,
and the necessity which impels them to seek the
co-operation of the clergy and laity of their Church,
in endeavouring to procure the abrogation of the system
they thus condemn, at the hands of the Government.
The Prelates who head this formidable movement
are :—The Lord Primate, the Bishop of Kildare,
the Bishop of Clogher, the Bishop of Kilmore, the
Bishop of Down and Connor, the Bishop of Cork
and Cloyne, the Bishop of Killaloe and Clonfert,
the Bishop of Ossory and Ferns, the Bishop of
Cashel and Waterford. The Bishops whose
names are not affixed to it are ;—The Archbishop
of Dublin, the Bishop of Meath, the Bishop
of Limerick, the Bishop of Tuam, the Bishop of
Derry. The Bishop of Limerick is resident abroad, in
consequence of ill health. Whether the Right Rev.
Prelate would have concurred in or dissented from
the act of the majority, is, therefore, not known.
Three of the dissentients were created bishops under
the Whig Government. Dr. Stopford is a Conserva-
tive, of the moderate school ; and at the time of
his elevation to the Bench was known to enter-
tain views on the National System of Eduction in
harmony with those avowed by Sir Robert Peel
since his accession to office in 1841. When leader
of Opposition, the Right Honourable Baronet deemed it
expedient to veil his views by the adoption of lan-
guage so ambiguous that, like the answers of the
ancient oracles, it would bear any interpretation
which subsequent circumstances might render
necessary, without exposing the utterer to the
charge of direct falsehood. The High Church
party in Ireland inferred, from the Premier's care-
fully-studied ambiguity of phrase, when the ques-
tion of National Education in Ireland was dis-
cussed in Parliament, that he lacked nothing but
the opportunity to gratify their wishes with refe-
rence to the constitution of the obnoxious Board,
and the system of education which was conducted
under its superintendence and control. The disap-
pointment, not to say mortification, of the party-
expectant, when the Premier's policy indicated a
disposition respecting this question the direct re-
verse of that which, they supposed, from his con-
duct in Opposition, he would adopt, has been
often embodied in words. They saw with dismay
an increase of the Parliamentary grant, proposed by
the Government in the last session to extend the
operations of the system which they fondly ex•
petted would be curtailed, if not withdrawn. Their
consternation was immense. The intimations also
given by Sir Robert Peel respecting Maynooth,
which implied that an increased grant to that semi-
nary will be proposed to Parliament by the sanction
of her Majesty's Ministers ; added to which, that
the constitution of the University of Dublin will
be placed on a mere liberal basis, by which certain
Professorships to which Protestants only are now
eligible, will be thrown open to Catholics, have
prcduced such a shock to the sensitive orthodoxy
of Irish Protestants, especially of the sacerdotal
infer, that " remonstrances," " demonstrations," and
la protests," against a policy " manifestly injurious to
the interests of Protestantism," will be sent forth.
Fulminations, characteristic of the furor which ani-
mates the remonstrant-Protestant Bishops—though
couched in the subdued language which Churchmen
are wont to adopt when most wrathful—are scat-
tered throughout the document, which we publish
in extols() in another column. Of this document,
the Dublin 3lail (the organ of the most powerful
section of the Irish Tories) says:—" The paper itself
is drawn up with consummate ability. and spirit. It
is, in its nature, at once a firm and independent Re-
monstrance with our Protestant Government, and an
honest, uncompromising protest against the errors,
superstitions, and tyranny of the Church of Rome.
It is worthy of the earliest and best days of our Re-
formed religion; it is an honour to those later times,
when the policy of the State would depress,
but cannot subdue, the spirit which ani-
mated the Fathers of our Church." We need
scarcely say that we have no sympathy with
the Episcopal protesters; although we can readily
excuse the apprehensions of diminished influence they
so strongly express. The questions with which the
Government of Lord Grey, with whom the system of
National Education in Ireland originated, had to deal,

DR. CROLLY'S LETTER TO
MR. O'CONNELL.

The follovsing is a translation of the brief of the
Papal See to the Roman Catholic Primate of all
Ireland, on the subject of the recent polititical
agita-
tion in that country ; the original appears in Crolly's
letter to Mr. O'Oonnell in our first page :
"It will be arsuredly in your Grace's recollection
that a letter was forwarded to you from this sacred
congregation on the 12th of March, 1839, strongly
urging your Grace, on the part of our holy father
Gregory 16th, to whom it had been represented hat
one or two prelates and some ecclesiastics of that king-
dom had mixed themselves up too much with political
affairs, and had harangued the people on the state of the
commonwealth, should each report prove correct, care-
fully to suggest to them the propriety of altering their
conduct and adopting a demeanour inure becoming their
sacred ministry. Undoubtedly the sacred congregation
trusts that you have used every means in your power, and
all that earnestness which the importance of the matter re-
quired, and which your devotedness to the Apostolic
See led to expect ; nevertheless, that the desired result
has not followed your earnest efforts is apparent, parti-
cularly from the public journals of those countries
where speeches are published as spoken of late by some
membees of the clarical, some even of the Episeopai
order, both at meetings and at banquets, nay, even
in temples of God, before a concourse of people.
which speeches, if correctly reported, are far from
showing that the speakers are, as they ought to be, ex-
clusively devoted to the salvation of souls, the good
of religion, and the honour of God, and, consequently,
utterly adverse from the pursuits of political faction
and the turmoils of the world. It is not to be concealed
that such results have been most distressing to this
sacred congregation and to his Holiness himself, be-
cause they tend to the detriment and disgrace of the
universal church ; and they create a feeling specially
prejudicial to the Holy See itself, inasmuch as it would
seem to be unmindful of imparting salutary coun-
cils to the clergy in question, or was favourable to
the views and projects above described, or con-
nived, in any form, at their promulgation ; and
in reality your Grace is not, perhaps, aware that
such complaints, or rather accusations, have actually
found utterance. as the Holy See, by sad expe-
rience, can sorrowfully attest. And for these mo-
tives the sacred congregation hastens, at the command
of his Holiness himself, to address you again on
this most important subject. You are, most Illus.
trious Prelate, fully cognisant of the nature and cha-
racter of ecclesiastical functions ; how far it is become
ing--how far it is of vital importance to the safety
of religion, that those who are enraged in holy
orders, the ministers of the Prince of Peace, the dispen-
sers of the mysteries of God—men especially
placed over the faithful for their spiritual guidance,
should avoid mixing themselves up with seular
affairs—should assiduously foster among the people a
spirit of quietness, calm, and peace, which is the bond
of Christianity, should inculcate by word and example a
due obedience to temporal power in all matters of civil
life, and thus exhibiting a decided moderation and
prudence, content to preach Christ alone and him cruci-
fied—shouli studiously keep aleof from whatever was
calculated in the least to disturb the flock confided
to their care, or lead it astray from the mildness of
the Gospel law. Such is and ever has been the
doctrine of the Catholic Church, which the Apos-
tolic See has, mindful of its sacred office, never
ceased to hold, and on every occasion to promulgate.
It Rill be your Grace's duty to adopt this line
of conduct, and, by propounding at every fitting
opportunity these sentiments of the sacred congrega-
tion and his Holiness on this most important subject, to
admonish such ecclesiastics, and especially of the epis-
copal order, as may deviate from the prescribed conduct,
with all patience and charity, but yet efficiently. Con-
fiding these matters to your well-established prudence,
and zeal, I take leave to express the personal considera-
tion in which I hold your Grace, praying God to give you
every blessing.

THE FRENCH AT OTAHEITE.—A communication
has been received by the London Missionary Society
from his Majesty Louis Philippe, in answer to a memo-
rial presented to him by a deputation from their body,
praying for the restoration of Queen Pomare to the
sovereignty of Otaheitu ; and to the Missionaries of the
privileges they enjoyed previously to the interference of
the French squadron. A meeting of the Directors of the
Society was called for this afternoon for the purpose of
opening this communication, and its contents will pro-
bably be made known to-morrow.

I Smith's room he found a number of duplicates, and
he observed evidences of poverty. In Howell's lodg-
ings he found some keys.
While the last witness was giving his testimony,
Smith and Howell declared the police were prompt-
ing }lorry.
The LORD MAYOR desired that no one should
communicate with any person giving evidence.
Nothing could be more prejudicial to the ends of
justice.
Mr. Filix Gatter was next examined. He is a
French gentleman, and his evidence was translated
by an interpreter. He stated that he occupied the
bed-room, No. 6, in the George and Vulture Hotel
' during the last two months. He had double-locked
his bed-room door at half-past five on Friday ev-ning,
and taken the key into the bar. Upon going into the
room after the apprehension of Howell and Smith,
he ascertained that he had lost two rings, which he
placed on his toilet. One of them represented a
serpent, and the other was a small topaz, but neither
was of much value.
The LORD MAYOR—Have you any knowledge of
any of the prisoners ? The witness said he knew
nothing of any of them, but it struck him that
Franklin was the son of a man who made clothes for
him.

Henry Taylor, a cab-driver, stated that three gen-
tlemen, of whom Franklin was one, called him off the
St. Paul's rank, in Cheapside, at nine o'clock, and got
into his cab, telling him to drive to the neighbourhood
of the India House, when two of them got out, leaving
Franklin in the cab. Witness was then desired to
wait near George-yard. Franklin, about twenty
minutes afterwards, got out, and abuut ten minutes
subsequently returned and got into the cab again, ob-
serving that his friends were staying a long time, but
he would see witness paid. At about ten o'clock wit-
ness saw Franklin go up George-yard, but never saw
him afterwards until he went to the station-house.
Witness could positively swear to the identity of
Franklin, but he could not swear that the other pri-
soners were the persons who were Franklin's com-
panions. _ _ .

The LORD MAYOR—WeII, prisoners, what have
you to say in answer to this very serious charge?
Howell—l don't know anything of these two men
(the other prisoners).
The LORD MAYOR—What took you into the room
in the hotel ? Howell—l merely just walked into the
hall, and I heard a scream, and I went upstairs to see
what was the matter. I thought the police ought to
be sent for, and I wished to know if that was the case,
when the gentleman thought proper to collar me.—
(A laugh.) I said to him I knowed nothing of any-
thing. lam quite sure the servant girl can't swear to
me. I wasn't in no room at all.
Smith—Please, your Lordship, I was so very tipsy
that I didn't know what I was about at all. 1 havn't
got the least recollection of what passed.
The LORD MAYOR—You were so far gone in drink
that you don't recollect how you got into the house
at all ? Smith—Just the case, my Lord.
The LORD MAYOR—What does the servant girl
say to that ? Eliza Ann Hughes—He semed as if
he was tipsy after he was apprehended.
The LORD MAYOR—HOW did he appear to be when
he spoke to you in the bed-room ? Eliza Ann Hughes
—Not at all tipsy.
The LORD MAYOR —Well, Franklin, what have
you to say ? Franklin—l was so very tipsy last
night that I have not the least recollection of any-
thing at all ; but I know nothing at all of these two
gentlemen next to me.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—I shall remand the prisoners
till Thursday.
Here a person, who said his name was John Field,
and that he resided in King-street, begged that the
Lord Mayor would allow him to make a statement,
as he had been robbed of all he possessed on the
evening of the same day on which the burglary had
been committed. He kept, he stated, a coffee-shop,
which he had let to the father of Franklin, a foreman
to a tailor. Another son of the old man had been
backwards and forwards to applicant's house, and on
Friday morning his bed-room had been entered and
plundered of coats, waistcoats, trousers, and silk
dresses.

The applicant was then directed to attend at the
next examination of the prisoners on Thursday next.

HORRIBLE CASE of FRATRICIDE,
AND COMMITTAL OF THE BROTHER
FOR TRIAL.

The county of Stafford has become the scene of a
shocking murder, and there is too much reason to
fear that the diabolical crime was perpetrated by a
brother. The condition of the unfortunate parties
was that of small farmers. Thomas Brough, the de-
ceased, lived at the New Brent Farm, in the parish
of Biddulph. It would appar that he was a man
who, by parsimonious habits, had succeeded in accu-
mulating some little property, and was the owner of
Whitefield Farm, which is situate near his own house.
Whitefield Farm had been in the occupation of his
widowed mother and his brother, John Brough, for a
little more than twelve months. The mother was the
recognised tenant, though it would seem that the
brother John managed the farm, and was applied to
for the rent when due. On Friday, the 3d inst.,
about dusk, a distress was put in by the direc-
tion of Thomas Brough, at 'Whitefield Farm,
for rent, amiunting to 291. 12s. In conse-
quence of some conversation which one of the
bailiffs had with the mother and John Brough, the
bailiff sent for Thomas Brough, in order to an ami-
cable settlement, if possible, without enforcing the
distress. The deceased Thomas Brough shortly after-
wards came to Whitefield. There does not appear to
have been any quarrel between the two brothers in
the house, but the deceased complained very much
about his rent not being paid, and intimated that he
must have it; he also refused to return two boxes,
which had been removed by the bailiffs to his house,
until the following morning. The two bailiffs left the
house, and the brothers remained in conversation.
Shortly afterwards Thomas Brough went into the
fold, were some further conversation ensued. He was
about to leave, when his brother John said, " Stop a
bit, I will go and kin (kindle) my lantern, and will
go with you as far as the barn, and sweep two or three
oats up." John Brough then returned to the house,
lighted the candle in the lantern, and went towards
the barn ; and his brother Thomas walked down the
meadow towards his own house. Thomas Brough
was not afterwards seen alive, and nothing was heard
of him until Saturday, about noon, when his body
was accidentally found in a sand-pit on Biddulph
Moor.

THE INQUEST.
The inquiry as to the cause of death, which was
commenced on Tuesday, terminated on Friday, at the
Talbot Arms, in the parish of I3iddulph, before Mr.
C. Harding, the coroner. The following were the
principal witnesses examined :
John Brough, the son of Jude Brough, proved
seeing the prisoner cross the meadows at the time with
the deceased, which was the last time he was seen
alive.

Mr. John Harrison, surgeon, of Barsham, who
made a post mortem examination, said he found the
head on the left side was much fractured, and several
pieces of bone were found driven completely in, which
were sufficient to cause death. It was the result of
some severe blow with a heavy instrument, such as a
hammer.

James Brough examined—l live at Blackwood-hill
Farm, and am servant to Mr. Challinor. On Friday
night, while I was supping up my horses, my brother
John and Isnmael Lancaster came to me. They
opened the door and came into the stable. Ishmael
Lancaster then said, " I am come in to kill thee." My
brother John said that Thomas had taken my box and
his, and was going to sell him up, and he wanted me
to go with him to settle it. I said, " it is so near the
week-end, it's no use my going with thee to-night, he
won't sell thee up this week." He said, " bed them
down, and come with me now." I said, " I'll clean
this mare, I've been to Leek with her, she is all of a
sweat." As soon as I had cleaned her down, I went with
them out and locked the door. After I had locked
the door I went to look after the cows, to see if they
were all right. We all three then went into the house.
John Brown, another servant, got them bread and
cheese, while I got ready to go with them. We all
three went on till we gnt to Ishmael Lancaster's
house, where Ishmael stopped. I and my brother
came on. Just before we got to my brother Thomas's
house, John said, " I will tell thee what thou must
say when thou goes in. Thou must say, What is
my box doing here ? where is Tom ?' " I did go into
Thomas's, and saw the box. I saw my brother
Thomas's wife. She said, in answer to my question,
that she did not know ; she was at Tunstall when they
were brought there. I said to her, it was a strange
thing they could not be quiet. I would go over to my
mother's, and would call as I came again. As
I was going along the lane trommv brother Thomas's
house, I overtook my brother :Jan. He said, " Is
he in ?" I said, "No, he
,tas never been seen since
hc, came from the WhitfAield." Thomas's wife had
told me this. John began crying, and said he did
not know what he must do ; and I asked him what
for. He said he reckoned he should be hung. I
said, " What for ?" He said he had hit my brother
Thomas on the back of the head with a hammer, ant
he reckoned he had killed him. I said, " Oh, dear,
John, you should not have done so, you're sure to be
hung." I then said, "Where is he?"—[The prisoner,
John Brough, was here sent for, and on being brought
into the room, the Coroner told him that the witriFFs
who was then bein! examined was beginning to give
evidence which affected him (John Brough) as
being implicated in the murder of his brother,
Thomas Brough. It was, therefore, his (the Coroner's)
