is possible this may happen, because hi. baggzge,
wife and family, have,been now three days, in the port,
of Marquez, under the protection of our arms, the Lady,
Aiming milked permission to come to Jujui, which was
granted, with particular charge to afford her everything
necessary. With these data, it is not doubted that
Olanets will appear in' a few days, with Marquiegui,
and the Officers who accompany him."

The writer excuses the shortness of the letter on the
score of haste.

The questions which the Editor of the Paper asks
are, whether it would not be proper to have a
force stationed on the frontiers of Salta ; and whether
the Chamber of Representatives should nut prolong
the Session?

In the STAR of the 6th inst. we gave an account of the
meeting of the Carrick.on•Shannon Bible Society, which
was adjourned, and another day fixed, for three clergy.
men of the Protestant and three of the Catholic religion
to meet, and calmly and dispassionately discuss the
subject. As the day of meeting approached, the cu-
riosity increased, and the town was in such a degree of
ferment, that the Magistrates deemed it necessary, as a
precautionary measure, to call into the town the whole
of the constabulary force of two adjoining Baronies.
The people of Carrick-on. Shannon laid hold of a musty
prophecy, which they apply to the contest, and con-
nected the discussion with the fag-end of this prophecy,
by which the .4 extinction of Protestantism" is predicted.
The Grand Jury Room was appointed for the dis-
cussion, and on Tuesday last, at twelve o'clock, the Rev.
WM. Dronv. the Rrv. GEORGE HAMILTON, the Rev.
WM Bustin, and Rev. W. Urtwicrt, a dissenting Minis-
ter, accoarpanred by several persons of rank and respects•
bility, entered the room. Some objections having been
made to Mr. URWICK, on account of his not being of the
Established Church, that Gentleman withdrew his
name, but challenged Dr. M.Keom to name a day on
which he might dispute with him.
Mr. PEYTON was called to the Chair by ballot ; and
there appeared on the part of the Roman Catholic
Clergy, the Rev. Dr. M'KeoN, Rev. Geo. J. BROWN,
and the Rev. MICHAEL O'Batasa. On the part of the
Bible Society, the Rev. WM. DIoBY, the Rev. GEo.
HAMILTON, and the Rev. WM. BUSH&

Reporters on each side were appointed, and the dis-
cussion commenced. The Dublin Journal, which de•
votes two columns to the preliminary proceedings,
omits the speeches, and only gives the following outline:

" Dr. MilEttos first stated his objections to the circulation of the
Bible, and adduced various arguments and authorities in support of
his observations. He was replied to by the Rev. Mr. Bushe.
" Mr. Baowx: followed in reply, and brought forward additional
arguments, which were answered by Archdeacon Dishy. At the
conclusion of his observations, it being then almost dark, Mr. Ha-
milton pledged himself to Mr. O'Beirne, his Rev. antagonist, that
whatever length of time be would occupy in his remarks, he ( Mr. H.)
would confine himself to the same space. To this Mr. O'Beirne
agreed, and having spoken 40 minutes, ?fr. Hamilton adhered to
his promise, and the meeting concluded about &quarter past 6 o'clock.
" Colonel Transom had been previously moved into the Chair,
and the thanks of the meeting was given to J. RZYNOLDS P/LYTON,
for his conduct in the Chair.

The proceedings were conducted with the greatest propriety and
'decorum—and no individuals could possibly evince a better spirit
or act in a more temperate and Gentlemanlike manner, than the
Rev. Gentlemen on both sides of the question, and we have little
doubt that the conduct of the Catholic Clergymen, at the meeting
in Carrick-on-Shannon, will be frequently held up to others as a
pattern worthy of imitation.
" There was not the slightest disturbance, or even a wish of
the kind manifested during the entire day. A report had been
circulated on Monday, that a row was intended—and in conse-
quence the party of police stationed in the town were ordered to be
in readiness—we believe it to have been merely a report, however,
and that nothing of the kind was intended. We should perhaps
observe, that there were no resolutions passed, nor did the Rev..
Gentlemen come to any definite conclusion—of course the only
good which can result is from a perusal of the arguments advanced
on either side."
The same Journal gives the following extract from a
letter, written by a Clergyman of Carrick-on-Shannon,
dated Nov. 10:
" Nothing could be more complete than the triumph of the Bible
cause yesterday. Indeed there was nothing to overcome. Such a
miserable, meagre opposition could with diMetalty be imagined.—
They objected to meet the Rev. Mr. Urwick, as he was not an or-
dained clergyman of the Established Church; he therefore resigned
without occupying the time of the meeting, about such a frivolous
matter; and they got little by the exchange, as the Rev. Mr. Bushe
immediately occupied his place. My only regret was, that there
were no better combatants to draw forth a more comprehensive
line of argument from our side in favour of the Bible."

The conduct of the Roman Catholic Clergymen on
this occasion will afford an useful lesson to the Catholic
Association; but we fear it will be lost on that intem-
perate body.
