IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MAY 13.—The Evening iFreeman's 'Journal
contains the following letter from Archbishop M'Hale,
addressed to Dr. Gray, respecting a recent exhibition at
Exeter Hall, where that gentleman unavailingly at-
tempted to obtain a hearing, in reply to one of the
speakers, who made certain charges against a Roman
Catholic clergyman in the archdiocese of Tuam:—

" St. iGlath's, Tuam, Pentecost Monday, 1845.
" My dear Sir,—To attempt the refutation of the un-
ceasing calumnies against Ireland and the Catholic clergy,
with which the English press is daily teeming, would
indeed be a fruitless labour. No sooner is one crop of
slander mowed down than another suddenly springs up
from that rank soil on whirls the seeds of lies haveb,:eo so
profusely scoittered. The pea- besotted people, who,-,e
diseased appetite can la lish such intellectual regimen,
are deserving of our commiseration. It is difficult, how-
ever, to find appropriate language for painting the ener-
Laity of their transgressions who labour to aggravate this
morbid malady of the English people by the most dis-
gusting and malignant applications.
" Of their utifastidious appetite for every species of
slander, you have on a recent occasion been witness,
nor should I, though my name has been mixed with those
exhibitions at Exeter-hall, take the least notice of them,
were it not for the purpose of recording my gratitude to
you, for your noble and intrepid vindication of your
Catholic countrymen amidst the storm of obloquy and
vituperation by which you as well as they were
assailed. I have been accused, it seems, of listenin,
with approval to a sermon, in which it was
asserted • that those who practise the reading of the
Bible fall into everlasting destruction,' &c. The spirit
of God may still continue to effect prodigies .f grace ;
but I have no hesitation in saying, that little can be
expected in the ordinary course of nature, either of justice
or of liberality, from those who could be capable of be-
lieviag that blasphemous assertion. Weil they know that no
clergyman in the Catholic Church would hazard such an
assertion, either in the presence or the absence of a
bishop, before any Catholic congregation. The Ca-
tholic pastors and people use; they do not abuse, the in-
spired writings. They are reverenced by both as the
authentic title deeds of their exalted rights and inhe-
ritance, and their heavenly contents are received by all
with that veneration which is due to the successful source
from which they have descended.
" It was in vain, it seems, that you endeavoured to
secure the attention of an auditory rabid with religious
frenzy by proclaiming, from your knowledge of the Irish
priesthood, that the infamous extract was a forgery.
To your appeal to their reason they were deaf as adders,
and in labouring to calm you were but irritating their
fanaticism. You told them the cited passage was a
forgery, and, without hearing your reasons in vin-
dication of the accused party, they loudly vociferated,
and resolved that the passage was authenticated !! Is it
from the justice of those cool and reasoning people
Ireland is to expect to be put on a level of civil and poli-
tical rights with England ? As well might you expect
the fairest fruit from brambles. No ; Ireland must de-
pend on her own energies and the righteousness of her
own cause in wringing her legitimate independence from
a hostile people with whom they have but one tie, which
is sacred—that of the Crown—as a common link of con-

nexion.
"I have the honour to be, with great esteem, your
very faithful servant.
" k JOHN ARCHBISHOP OF TUAM.
"John Gray, Esq."

MR: O'CONNELL'S REPEAL LEVEE.
The following document was read at the meeting of
the Repeal Association yesterday:—
" We recommend that O'Connell and his late fellow-
prisoners shall hOld a levee on the 30th of May from
twelve to three o'clock, fn the Rotunda, and there re-
ceive addresses from the repeal corporation and other
bodies, such addresses to be presented by deputations in
the costume of the municipal council or other body
which they represent.
" That the aggregate trades of Dublin be requested
to assemble at the Richmond Penitentiary, at 11 o'clock
on the same day, the head of the trades facing east, and
thence, at half-past eleven, to move in full procession
through Harrington-street, Circular-road, Leeson-street,
Stephen's-green East and North, Dawson-itreet, Nassau-
street, Grafton-street, College-green, Dame-street, Cork-
hill, Essex-bridge, Capel-street, Bolton-street, Dorset-
street, Frederick-street North, so that the head of the
procession may halt at three o'clock in Frederick-street,
and thence send on a deputation to the Rotunda with
an address.
" That immediately after • the reception of this last
address O'Connell, his late fellow-prisoners, the trades,
and the municipal and other deputations, shall enter
their carriages at the main door of the Rotunda, and
being thus in front of the trades, the entire procession
shall move through Sackvilie street, Carlisle-bridge,
Westmorland street, Nassau. street, Merrion-square East
and North, to O'Connell's house, and there separare
quietly.
" Approved by the General Committee of the Asso-
ciation, and entrusted to the energy and patriotism of the
aggregate trades."
THE NEW COLLEGES.
The Dublin Evening Post has the following remarks
on the Government plan:—
"As tar as it goes, we do riot question the benefits
likely to accrue from the-e provincial colleges, inasmuch
as no person can prize more highly than we do the bene-
tits of education—the relvantages of knowledge. But it
would be a mockery and a delusion to pretend that they
will prove a panacea for the discontent of the country.
In short, without a perfect equality of religions, this
country cannot, and ought not, to be contented.
" Now, while our university holds her head above the
people of Ireland, as the chief seat of learning—wh le
she has so many and such rich gifts in her possession,
which gifts she distributes solely amongst persons pro-
fessing the dominant creed, it is idle to imagine that the
people of Ireland will be satisfied, or that they ought.
" Why should not the university be thrown open to
Catholics ? Not ecclesiastically, for Catholic priests
must be educated alone, but for all other university
purposes. At present, we believe, the professors of
physics and mathematics must be fellows. Why
should net Catholics be allowed to compete for
these lay fellowships—neither of which, we imagine,
at present, are held by clergymen ? Why should
they not be allowed to stand for fellowships, with a view
of enabling them to obtain a chair in civil law—in
common law—in medicine ? But again—why not throw
the whole course open—all but the professorship of
divinity ? It is not absolutely necessary, we believe, that
the fellows of Dublin College should be, as they gene-
rally are, clergymen. Ah! but there are several wealthy
livings in the gift of the university. Let them keep
these livings, and let a certain number of fellows be or-
dained to take them as they fall. But do not allow a
national esstablishment to be administered with a view
only to the benefit of a comparatively small minority."

Sir W. Tuyll arrived in London yesterday, by
the General Steam Navigation Company's mail-packet Co-
lumbine, from Rotterdam.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
The performances last evening were for the benefit
of Lucile Grahn, and the house was crowded by
those who were anxious to do honour to the talent
of the young Dane. The opera was La Getz:a
rio
Larlra, vvi al Grisi as Ninetta,l3rambilla as Pippo, 111 a
as Gianetto,Fornasari as Fernando, and Lablache as the
Podesta. it is needless to add that it was performed
in a style which cannot be equalled upon any
lyrical stage in Europe. Between the acts of the
opera we had a pls de gnatre, the composition
of the fair beneficiare herself, in which she bore a prin
cipal part, and in which she was rapturously applauded.

Group V.
THE NOTTINGHAM AND LINCOLN LINE-
The Committee, consisting of the O'Conor Don (Chair-
man), Mr. Hope Johnston, Sir John R. Reid, Sir Denham
Norreys, and Mr. J. A. S. Davies, met this morning in room
No. 13, and proceeded to the consideration of clauses on the
part of the objectors to the above railway.
Mr. GREGORY, on the part of Lord Chesterfield, proposed
certain clauses compelling the Company to deviate in the
parish of Burton Joyce to an extent of eighty yards from their
present line ; and in the event of such deviation causing in-
jury to the parsonage-house and church-yard, such damage
to be compensated for, the amount of damage to be fixed by
an arbitrator.
Mr. MACAU r.AY said that the advantages to be derived
from such a change would be altogether disproportioned to
the injury inflicted on much valuable property.
It was suggested by the CHAIRMAN that the line should be
carried fifty feet north of that at present intended in the
parish of Burton Joyce, and eighty yards in Gedling ; but as
Mr. Gregory did not consider the first any great advantage,
and as the promoters of the line would not consent to the
second, the clauses were entirely thrown out.
There being no more clauses in the Bill,
The Committee proceeded to the next railway in the group,
namely,
