DEATH OF THE:RIGHT REV. DR. KELLY.

(From the Waterford Mirror of Saturday.)
Died on Thursday morning, the Sth October, a little
before eight o'clock, at his home, in King-street, the Right
, Rev. Patrick Kelly, D.D. Roman Catholic Bishop of
Waterford and Listnore. His memory will hold a dis-
tinguished place upon the list of exemplary Prelates.
Upright in design, firm of purpose, indefatigable in zeal,
he was a model of voidance! labour. A disciplinarian he
certainly was ; but if he was exact with others, he was
severe upon himself. Every day, almo:it every hour, of
his prelacy abetted that he required from others nothing
eiperior, nothing perhaps equal, to the example which he
himself exhibited of determined perseverance in the line
of duty.—Other Prelates, within our knowledge, may
have shored other praise with him ; but, in unremitting
activity, we are free to say that we have net yet seen his
equal. Indeed, it is not likely that the ecclesiastical
annals furnish many examples to surpass him in this
valasble commendation of ever enduring constancy.
Could any thing enhance the value cf this zealous discharge
of duty ? Yee, the state of his health. At the time when
he had scarcely 6eis)aed the visitation of one part of hie
extensive diocese but to undertake the visitation of an.
other part, after spending Lite short interval in fulfilling in
the most humble and most ordinary manner some of the
most fatiguing of the duties of an Irish parish priest—at
that very time, he was known to ;:Dour under severe in-
firmity of body. But nothing could dareiT the ardour of
his unfired mind. The immediate occasion of his death
was an inflammation of the lungs, occasioned by a' heavy
cold which lie tools on Wednesday week at the funera
of a parishioner, Mr. Edmund Crotty, of the Quay.
Dr. Kelly was born at Kilkenny, in April 1779. After
receiving his classical education at the Catholic Seminary
of Kilkenny, he went in 1797, to St. Patrick's College at
Lisbon, in which, having completed the ordinary course
of theological and philosophical studies, he was appointed
Professor of Philosophy. Having occupied that Chair fur
two years, he returned to his native diocese of °gamy in
the year 1604, in obedience to the positive commands
of his Bishop. He then spent seven years on the
mission as Curate, chiefly at Inistiogue and the
Roea. In 1811, he was selected to be Professor
of Logic and Neutral Philosophy in the Diocesan Seminary
of Osaory, and afterwards became President of Birchfield
College, near Kilkenny. On the 24th August, 1821', he
was consecrated Bishop of Richmond WI Norfolk in Vir-
ginia in America. He went to America, and, Come clashing
of jurisdiction having occurred between him ani Me-
tropolitan, the Archbishop of Baltimore, a French ecclesi-
aetie, named Marechtd, the Court of Rome entertained a
wish of having him translated to another See. Dr. Walsh,
Bishop of Waterford,;happened to die at Rome let October,
1821. It is understood to be the prerogative of the Holy
See to nominate to all vacancies occasioned by deaths which
occur at Rome. It seldom, however, exercises this prero-
gative expressly ; an amicable interference is preferred.
Accordingly, a letter was written, 2d October, 1821, to
the Vicar-General of Waterford, the Very Rev. Dr. Gar-
rett Connolly, intimating a desire of having Dr. Kelly poe-
tnlated for. The intimation was complied with. In June,
1822, Dr. Kelly received his bull of translation to this
diocese, and lie arrived in Ireland in July, 1822.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

NEWMARKET, SUNDAY Arraaoeoota.—The ensuing
Meeting bids fair to afford ph,nty of sport ; the list con-
taining- twenty-one Stakes, Matches, and Plates, with the
prospect of several others being added to them in the course
of the week. Of the Stakes, the two most valuable and
influential are the Clearwell Stakes (Tuesday), and the
Prendergast Stakes (Friday), both of which are expected
to bring out large fields of two-year olds, the one having
33 entries, and the other 25, and including a few horses
likely to be brought into the betting for the Derby and
aiks, viz. Cetus, Shumla, Cobweb colt, Advance colt,
Enema filly ; but, taking the races witk reference to their
influence en the great betting stakes of next year, they are
less important than usual, very few of the favourites for
the Derby having any engagements till the spring. The
Clearwell Stakes has only three winners in it—Bud, Cetus,
and Fairy ; the first named is not here, and the last has
won only a Handicap race, so that Cetus will be the
fa►ourite, if publis running has anything to do with the
betting. It should be recollected, however, that there is
a very strong list against him, and that the two-year-olds
this season are remarkably promising.
The Prendergast Stakes does not show a single win-
ner ; the betting therefore, is likely to be favourable for
betting round.
The Garden Stakes, although it has only four horeta in
it, will be a good betting race, each of them having been
backed to some amount, in spite of the uncertainty that
prevails as to whether Zinganee would be in trim for the
post. Coroner has several friends, chiefly from the great
improvement evinced by his running at several provincial
meetings this season ; the weight is also in his favour,
which circumstance can alone give the Luss filly a chance
of winning. There are plenty of matches, but only one
that possesses any interest, viz. that between Matneltike
and Lamplighter for the Whip and 200 sovereigns each,
pp. It will be run over the Beaco■ Course on Tuesday,
each carrying lOst. according to the condition of the
challenge; Lamplighter, being a year older than Mamc-
luke, at even weights, and a four-mile course, surely ought
to win this. In the course of the meeting there will be
two or three sales of racing stock, including Brelskoi,
Sspio, Fatima, Rivulet, Landscape, Scheme, two or three
Partisan foals, eight yearling colts by Muley, one by Bus-
tard, seven yearling fillies by Muley, and two by Bustard ;
being selections from the stud, of Lord Lowther and Alex-
ander Nowell, Esq.
The Whip may be challenged for either to-morrow or
Tuesday, and the acceptance must be signified, or the Whip
resigned, before the end of the meeting ; if challenged for
and accepted, to be run for on Thursday in the second
Spring Meeting following, B. C., carrying lost. each,
and to stake 200 sous. each. It will be sharp work for
the winner of the whip on Tuesday to find a new claimant
for it iu the field the same day; unless, however, his Ma-
jesty shouli challenge for it with Flrnr de Lis (which
would make a sporting match), it is not very likely that
there will be any other; for Newmarket, at the present
time, is poorly off for four mile horses. The Oatlands
will be an interesting stakes, and, having now nineteen
subscribers, it is not improbable that two classes may be
formed. The horses are to be named to-morrow evening,
and the stakes run for on Wednesday, and the second class
(if any) on Thursday. At the time of sending off our
parcel there had been no business done. We have ascer-
tained that Zinganee has been doing plenty of work lately,
and that he took two good gallops this morning. It is
thought that he will start for the Garden Stakes to-mor-
row, but it is doubtful whether Mameluke will came to the
post, or be reserved for the match on Tuesday. The No-
bility, &e• now here are, the Duke of Rutland (at
Cheveley); Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Marquis and
Marchioness of Exeter, Earl and Countess of Sefton, and
the Ladies Molyneux ; Lard George Bentinck, Lord Henry
Bentinek, Colonel Peel, Mr. Scott Stonebewer, &c.
It is expected that it will be a good meeting, without
being brilliant. The weather does not premise favourably,
a strong wind and a gloomy sky giving every reason to fear
that there will he rain before the commencement of the
Race. The turf is in pretty good order.
