Mr. Erirroa—As I know you, to be interested in whatever
concerns our benighted land, you will be pleased to hear of the
efforts that are now making for the instruction of her children,
and the illumination of the minds of her peasantry, so long, and
so.entirely under the influeuce of "tie men of sin" and his asso-
chides. It has pleased Providence. to raise up en instrument well
fitted for the work he has giVen him 'to do, and the high talents
and rare qualifications as a speakes, of Mr. Pope, lestl us to
hope that by him the Roman Catholic religion in this country,
will. receive a blow from which it never can recover. Our coun-
try is at present the scene of his labours—the Hibernian School
Society have sent him, accompanied by Captains Gordon and
Vernon, on a deputation to plead the interests of Bible education,
in doing, which, that system, whose policy it is to withhold °the
Word of God from its members, natsitillysomes under the ex-
position of the powerful eloquence(ll. second Luther. Mr.
Pope made much noise in England at the spring meetings ofH
1825. By his exertions there, and continual preaching, his con-
stitution became exhensted, and he has for some months been
obliged to retire to his native town (Cork) to recruit his exhaust-
ed strength. This, however, I grieve to say, has not been ac-
complished, as he is still very weak, and the exertions he has
lately undergone seem materially to have injured his health. The
excitement produced in this neighbourhood by his preaching is
really astonishing; three times he has addressed assemblages of
nearly 4,000 persons in the Court-house of this town—far the
greater part of whom were Roman Catholics, who have very
generally declared, that in future they will read their Bibles.—
Mr. Pope always uses the Donny version, that being the only one
admitted by the Catholics as the Word of God, and by so doing
be convicts the errors of their church even from their own scrip-
tures. Mr. Pope's voice is sweet, sonorous, and solemn, his
person tall, and very commanding, his countenance benignant
and expressive, though pale and emaciated ;. when we hear his
' solemn calls to his fellow-sinners to flee from error and wrath to
come, his soothing invitations to come to Jesus, ever able and
willing to receive them, and his clear and convincing arguments
against all the peculiar doctrines and errors of the Romish
Church ; his open and fearless attacks on the Priests, who,
for their own • private advantage keep the minds of
their flocks in ignorance, and secretly stir up a spirit of rebellion
amongst them, one cannot but see in him an instrument in the
hands of God, sent out to blow the Gospel trumpet, and we trust,
that He, whose word 'never returns to him void, will cause it to
prosper in the thing whereto he has sent it. Mr. Pope has also
addressed a numerous congregation in the town of Ballymahon,
the residence of a Roman Catholic bishop, and was even there
attended by many hundreds of Roman Catholics, without there
being the smallest disturbance; he and his coadjutors have been
received at the high sheriff's, where the house was thrown open
and all coiner, admitted, and also at the residences of some of our
principal gentry, where the same plan has been followed, and Mr.
Pope kas never been without large audiences, who appear to say
to one another " men and'brethren what shall we do ?" Though
I know that some instances of individual conversion have (tamed
through his preaching, yet our hope principally is, that the seed
is sown, that a spirit of enquiry is excited, and that a stir is
taking place among the Catholics, which eventually, will bring
the errors of the natives of this island, under the influence of
Truth. Mr. Pope's language is chaste and beautiful, his man-
ners gentle and impressive, except when roused by his subject, he
then becomes most vehement, and seems to carry all before him.
I can give you no idea of the,effect produced by his yoke alone,
'in reading the Scriptures, there is something in it that I never
heard in that of any other man, indeed one cannot but look on
him as a being standing on the very verge of eternity---his heart
and affections in heaven, with no other view for earth than the
increase of his master's kingdom, ,and the doing his master's work
in opening the blind ayes, and turning them fross darknes* to
light, and from the power of. Satan unto God. He speaks as
has been observed, like a dying man to dying rnen. - Mr. Pope
has an aide 'friend int who had
long Iran well known in Ireland, by his atertiona against Popery ;
he has all the argumentation talent, and shrewdness of a Scotehman
combined with the greatest good burnout a highly cultivated mind,
and deep knowledge of the Scriptures. He does not enter the lists
in public, but in private his talents are of material service to the
cause. ('apt. Vernon is a most amiable gentlemanly man, and se-
rious Christian; his high character and situation in life add lustre
to the cause. He is a son of the present Archbishop of York. I
hear that Mr. Pope is to leave our country to-day, to take a fort-
night's rest before he again opens the campaign in Cavan,
which we hope will be as successful as here, and that it will
please God to preserve his life, and to bless his preaching.—
But we fear this sun. which now illumines the dark horizon of
Ireland is about to go down ; we are, however, sure that it will
rise again in glory, and we trust that many other suns will be
raised up to reflect the bright beams of the sun of righteousness,
and to cause a Gospel day to succeed the flarkuess of a Papal
night-in this beloved land. I am, Sir,
22d Nov. 1826. K.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S,

A'great deal of very heavy and interesting betting took place
yesterday afternoon, u well on the favourites, as on tbe outsiders.
Tatler and Lord Cavendish's colt kept neck and neck during the
early part of the betting ; but though it would not have been easy
to say which had the call, we are inclined to think that the Ea.
pagnolle horse was rather the favourite with the majority of the
spectators. As the afternoon advanced they began to change,
Tatler being taken for choice; and, finally, resumed the lead at
about the same quotation as on Thursday. Web was rather on
the decline, and so were Mr. Wyndharn's horses. Trumpeter,
Dauntless, Mameluke, and the Gustavus colt, were backed to a
considerable amount, while Sir John Shelley's two appear to be
receding ; the same observation•will apply to Forth's Lot; Game-
hue, Pythoness, Augusta, Dahlia, and Eliza Teazle, may be put
down at about the same odds they have been at some time, but
they are scarcely mentioned, much less backed. Several outsiders
were backed largely, particularly a Cheltenham colt, Westbury,
against whom forties and fifties to one were laid to the amount of
nearly 30,0001.—he is said to be a large and powerful colt. There
was but little done on the Oaks ; and the only bet we heard made
on the St. Leger, was 2,400 to 200 against Reviewer (Lord Kel-
burne's). The attendance was numerous, and highly respectable;
and the business, altogether, very important. We add the prices.
