SCENE AT DROGHEDA.

Au extraordinary scene occurred lately at Drogbeda.—Squalor
and misery have made their abode among the poor of that town
—and the bitter order of the people, Catholics, Protestants, and
Dissenters, including the Clergymen of the three denominations,
assembled with a view of devising means of relief Among the
Clergymen were the Rev. John Magee, Vicar of St. Peter's in that
town. and ma of the Rev. William Magee, Archbishop of Dublin,
and Bishop of Glands:lack as he calls Glandelaugh—the Rev. Jo-
sias Wilson, a Presbyterian Clergyman, and the Rev. Mr. Cam-
ber. a Roman Catholic Priest. The object, the reader win remem-
ber, wan' was to save the wretched poor from death by
starvation, and the following was the way In which this end was
promoted by the Rev. Mr. Magee :
" The objection which I have elsewhere made to the proceed-
ings In contemplation are Melly these. Under the pretence of
charity. other objects arein this town kept chitty in view. Io the
present instance such Is clearly the case.—Large foods have bawl
raked and are daily collecting by the teachers of the Roadsh au-
perstision,tfor purposes best known to themselves. A portion of
these treasures has been, I presume. applied to ostensible objects—
such as the building, enlarging, and adorning the temples in which
these teachers make the GOD before Which deluded multitude* fall
prostrate and adore."
We need not, indeed we cannot, chastise the utterer of this lan-
guage In words more forcilak or appropriate than those employed
by the Rev; Mt. Cumber, an eminent and exemplary Catholic
Clergyman.
" Mr. Magee has. to my utter astonishment, and also to that of
all who beard him, as your deep Indignation clearly seine's,
deemed it right to conjure up In a Christian assembly the dark
split of bigotry, and to burl against us, poor Catholics, the end-
owed charge of gross Idolatry. Now, I will presume to admo-
nish this scion of Atithesii, that the Wide theatre of charity is not
precisely the stage whereon to enact the part of religious dissension,
nor convert into the arens.of acrimonious disputation—that the
time has passed away. and I trust for ever, when such antics form
the ground work of proiltable speculation—that such obsolete and
unfounded atcusatkins have been a thousand times preferred and
refuted, whilst the most enlightened bkhope and eminent divines of
his own church have given up this point, and conceded to us. all
Idolstors as we are a resting place in the pale Of eternal salvation.
I had hoped a little rWedion might have suggested to the Rev.
Gentleman the folly, and at otter the Ilittiolity of seek a maree;.
that Ms marked hostility to the religion of by much the greater
part of the inhabitants, has been amply satiated. by his uncoarteous
treatment of those among their number. comprising as much of
respectability and Intelligence as any others la this town, not even
excepting the very Reverend Rector himself.—But, unblippily, in
this expectation 1 have been wofully disappointed, and feel ate lose
whether to admire the hardihood of the man or to pity his weak..
new, in advancing sentiments so unchristian; Ind so badly accard•
ins with the enlightened spirit of the times."
We congratulate the people of Drogheda, Metallic sad Frets,-
tants, on having such a Christian pastor amongst that, in! our
venerable frlepd, the Catholic Primate, on a Ash in lilt moofte
of whom, no doubt, his Grace is justly proud.
The Rev. Jades Wilsoi,,thongh strong in his Calviebtic
~eteed
and ready, like the Scotch martyrs, to seal his fhith hk Mod,
quoted scripture abundantly against the VicarOf Peter's. " I
aver," concluded the Rev. Gaitleman„ thit 1 would bet. with
my present views, stain my hinds with shy ducky that waslot
to be given to the poor. without diainctiun Order pihy. I
earnestly hope diet the idirtij ilayist bold had &eeriest illibmality,

In spite of the Atha the Rev. John Magee, however, earl a
few of Mi ultra Wails, the Catholics. Protestants and Preley-
melons, concurred la the Resolutions, and separated with, kindly
and Christian f eHugs meads each other. Thus may it always be
