On Wednesday evening the 24 ult., between four and five
o'clock, some thieves entered the residence of Mr. M'Cracken,
11odnev.street, and carried off a considerable quantity of
silver plate, consisting of table spoons, forks, ladles, and
desert knives and forks, the greater portion being marked
with a horse's head bridled. From the manner in which the
robbery was committed the thieves must have been very
dexterous.

Steam-packet the Commodore, were greatly surprised on
THE LION WALLACE.—Tbe passengers of the Glasgow
Tuesday evening, at having ou hoard with them a scion of
royalty, no less a personage than a King of the Forest. His
Majesty, with his suite, were en route for Edinburgh, having
been purchased in this town (after 5 very severe competition)
by Mr. Hughes, fur the celebrated equestrian. Mr. Batty,
whom, we perceive, by the Scotch papers, is astonishing the
good folks of Auld Reekie, by the gorgeous and splendid style
in which he is bringing out his different performances, Mr.
Batty may now boast, in addition to his recent purchase, as
well as his unrivalled and beautiful stud of horses, decidedly
the first in the world, a very fine young elephant, and two
zebras, which he is nightly introducing in his arena—we are
happy to see that his spirited liberality is fully appreciated by
our brethren in the north, his circus being literally crammed
every night. Such of our friends as have not vet had an op-
portunity of visiting the amphitheatre here, unit the able
and talented superintendance of Mr. Hughes, will do well to
avail themselves of an early visit, previous to their departure
from hence.

BRUTAL RADICAL ASSAULT.—LYNCIIING LIBERALITY.
—Yesterday morning, in Abercrombie ward, when Mr.
Gladstone, the Conservative candidate, had headed the poll,
some joyous Conservative wrote a squib to the effect that
Mr. Earle's chances of success were all over. One of the
runners of the Conservatives was posting this opposite to
the Conservative committee-room, when one of the liberal
party—one of the freedom of election men, the "liberals"
par excellence—finding that the election was not going all his
own way, in the excess of his libel ality and love of freedom,
seized the squib poster by the collar and nearly pulled him
over; this was of course naturally retaliated by a punch in
the ribs for his impudence, when the liberal brute, collecting
all his force, made a Lancashire kick at the unsuspecting
bill poster. which, falling on some old wound, completely
laid open the inside of bis knee and shin, rupturing several
blood vessels. The poor fellow dropped immediately, and
before a surgeon could be obtained lost an enormous quan-
tity of blood ; we understand from the surgeon's statement
about 20Ibs. of bloor7 ! The liberal and cowardly brute who
had done this immediately took refuge front the rage of the
people in the Liberal committee room, where he was endea-
voured to be screened. Mr. Gladstone immediately went
there, and demanded his being delivered into custody, when,
after considerable hubbub and all kinds of vituperation from
the waspish and ricketty liberal candidate, it was at length
effected. The ipjured man lies in considerable danger.

TO THE REV. THOMAS BUTLER, D.D.,
ROMISH PRIEST AT WEYMOUTH.

Ste,-1 have just now seen a letter bearing your signature,
and addressed to the editor of the Morning Chronicle. It
refers to an article copied from the Manchester Guardian,
containing a report of a speech of mine at a public meeting,
held for the defence of scriptural religion, and the exposure
of the false doctrines and tyrannical practices of the Papal
system. My statement was this—" If it be asserted that the
Roman Pontiff exercises only a spiritual supremacy, our an-
swer is, first, the assertion is not true. It is shown by un-
rescinded documents and historical facts to be false. -But
even if it were true, our answer is, secondly, that in this
world, so long as men have both souls and bodies, conscience
towards God, as well as duties towards their sovereign, the
two things spiritual and temporal must of necessity be so in-
termingled, that spiritual supremacy is a ready engine of tem•
yranny."
In illustration of this position 1 referred first to the inter-
dict which Paul V. laid upon the Venetian Republic in 1604,
and secondly, for a modern illustration, to the ease of Mr.
and Mrs. Galwey, as stated in the letters of Mr. Galwey to
Dr. Abraham. It is upon this part of my speech that you
have commented. You quote two assertions from the report,
thus—" Dr. Abraham, of Waterford, refused to allow a
priest to celebrate mass in the house of a gentleman named
Galwey, (whose wife was sick at Christmas,) for no other
reason that was known except some political difference ; the
sequel was, that Mr. and Mrs. Galwey had forsaken the
Romish church." Upon this you remark—"l feel myself
called upon to declare thus publicly, that the above assertion
is a directly malicious and unwarrantable calumny against
the respectable individuals alluded to."
Sir, the passage you quoted contains two assertions. The
first is, that Dr. Abraham refused to allow a priest to cele-
brate mass in the house of Mr. Galwey, for no known reason
except a political difference: The second is, that Mr. and
Mrs. Galwey had forsaken the Romish church. Let us try
the first assertion. I do so by transcribing Mr. Gaiwey's
own letters.

.•;;f6-;ii-lE RIGHT REV. DOCTOR ABRAHAM,

It. C. BISHOP OF WATERFORD

- .
" Duckspool, Jan. 8, 18.36.
" My Lord,—On the 29iii of last month I had delivered
to your lordship a letter on the subject of the unpleasant
situation in which my family have been placed, in conse-
quence of your prohibition to allow Mass being celebrated
in my house; not having since received any answer to my
letter, I ant now driven to the painful necessity of sending
(through the press) a copy of my letter to your lordship, with
a hope of getting some redress from the archbishop, and in
default of his inattention to the prayer of my communi-
cation, to appeal to his holiness the Pope.
"Before I conclude, I beg respectfully to ask whether any
act of my life, as a Catholic, merited such conduct, either
towards myself or any of my family, and whether it is not
solely on account of political Afferences this system of tyranny
is attempted to be practised towards me?
"I remain, my lord Bishop, your humble servant,
-"JOHN .MATTHEW GALWEY."
