CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION.

We copy the following from the Cork Merge:stile
Chronicle. We need hardly remark, that Minion: to
Rome, for the avowed purpose of discussing there
questions relative to the civil rights of Irishmen (lor
it is civil right: they claim) do not appear to be the
best calculated to gain the object they profess to be
seeking :
ga MISSION TO Roos.—We haVe I:arned, with
much satisfaction, that letters have been received
from the Most Rev. Dr. MURRAY, dated from Rome,
the 15th ult. That Most Rev. Prelate had, tortha
with Dr. Mrfauta, obtained interviews with his Hot'.
xr.ss, who expressed his esteem for the Irish Prelacy.
Clergy, and Laity, in the warmest terms of attach_
ment and approbation. Dr. MURRAY represents,
that the mission proceeded prosperously.
“ The Delegates from the Irish Hierarchy were
received with every mark of attention, not only by
his Holiness but by all the Cardinals assembled in
Rome. Dr. MORNAY and his Right Reveretul co-
adjutor expected to return very shortly. The Itr-
seript,
,sala all otlicr proceedings that have taken
place, have been set aside; and Cardinal AURA.
President of tl:e College of Propaganda, lies been
charged with the examination of all the documents
to be laid before that Congregation, for the purpose
of coming to a proper decision. It is eitreniel) for.
tunate that the President understands English very
well, and has already perused most of di se papers
which throw any light upon the subject, and parti•
cularly the Statement of the Panel Laws, which he
has nearly committed td memory. He eaprtsstd
himself in the most unqualified terms of Abhorrence
of the Oath and some of the clauses of the late Bail."

It is rather to expose imposture, thin from fii:Aling
any amusement in such a being as J;hanna Soati,l:l,
that we notice her impious Absurdities. She issues
papers, called ,f the Seal:," which we ii iderstiod
disciples sell. • In one ct these, the wri•ing is within
a rnytical circle, about six inches in diimeer, in a
good plain hand, to which is her own signature, a
wretched scrawl. The seals, which are of red w,_,
are on the outsides one of them his the stamp malted
or pressed out, as it by warmth of the hotly, from
wearing in the pocket—the other has a small shabby
impression, I. C. with two stars.

We understand that two of our m•'st celet;rated ae.
coucheurs have visited this mad-woman, and they
declare that she certainly is in the eighth mmith of
her pregnancy. She is sixty-five years of age.
Sunday morning, a follower of Johanna S'.uthcote,
whilst delivering a sermon at a house on Ceattase
Hill, where a congregation of her disciples usuatiy
assemble, invited any or all incredulous silt geol:s to
visit the lady, when he assured his heareis, ;h u .vtt y
doubt would be removed respecting the apps .iching
arcouticmate of that venerable rawron: he at thi• same
time most formally and confidently predi.t,cd th. death
of all the Bishops of the Established Church, ear: pt
four, within twelve mouths, if they interfered with,
er in any way molested the expected parent of the
j New Messiah ! 1

The lunatic prophet, Brothert, who some 12 or 11
years back, attracted the superstitious, and amused
the idle, by his absurd and profane prophecies and
sleclarations,and who was subsequently sent to a mad.
house, is represented now as getting a little 'niter in
his intellects; for it is sa'd, that he actually es jecas
the absurdities which gained for him toe notice and
countenance of so many hundreds ot ►onis.
A man of the name of Seltsy was last night brought
to Neivgate from Shad well Office, charged with the
wilful roureer of Mr. WILLIAMSON, a publican, and
'amity, in Old Gravel-lane, near three years ago.
The tact, we understAnd, came to light through a
quarrel which the prisonev, a Portuguese sailor, had
with a shipmate in the West Indies, and he was in
consequence sent home in nous.
