Mr. Roddy expressed himself satisfied' With the candour,
courtesy, and kindness of Dr. Grant, and• it was arranged
that in the course of the afternoon Mrs. Boddy should
accompany the officer to the nunnery to• identify her
daughter, in the event of her going by any ether than her
real name.

Lockyer, accompanied by Mrs. Boddy, first went to the
nunnery, where he saw the lady principal—Sister Maria
Theresa—who assured them that neither Mrs. Roddy nor
any person resembling her had entered the nunnery for
three weeks preceding ;. but, at the same time,, recom-
mended them to go to the " Servants' Home," where,
perhaps, she might be. They accordingly went there,
ands on inquiring from a Miss Rushworth, the lady who
had, charge of the place, if Miss Boddy was there, she at
once and without hesitation] admitted that she was, and
said she had been brought there about a fortnight berm*
by a woman. She also said she was merely kept there
until a situation suited to he, age, and capacity could be!
obtained, The young lady was here brought to her
mother, when she at once declaNd that she was kept at
the place at her own particular request, and that she had
not been- restrained in any way whatever. She cried
bitterly, and seemed to leave the place with much re-
luctance, saying she was afraid she would not be allowed
to attend the church of her adoption, but she was taken
away in a cab to the residence of her sister.

I the Bail Court, on Thursday, the case of Chalfont
v. Hard was tried before: Justice Crompton.
The plaintiff was the widow of a small' jeweller; the
defendant was a retired. sergeant in the ariy, having a
pension and some small houseproperty ; his wife. had died
at the- beginning of the- year, and in August last the
defendant offered to marry the plaintiff, and was-accepted.
He visittd her daily; talked of settling £250 on-her, and
purchased • the wedding-ring,-„and gave it her. He called
several times • upon her father, and obtained hie consent.
He fixed Monday, the 19th of September, to be married,
but went and• married another person.

in the army—a sergeant, I believe: We have known)him
many years, Baring at Chelsea. He had some property at
Chelsea, but sold .it to a tailor fueilbout £260. The-first
time I knew of his 'being acquainted with my daughter
was on the 6th- of August : dtuing:the life of his former
wife his family and mine were on terms of the strictest
friendship. His wife died in this- year. On the 6th of
August I saw the- defendant in the evening,—he went into/
the subject of my daughter. He told.: me he had seen my,
daughter some time previously, and had got her consent.
as a• suitor, and lie "axed" me if I would be willing te
give my consent:- I told him I was gt.ite surprised, and-
could not think how he could think of such a thing, as'
there was a greatAlfs-parity in their ages), but he persisted
in; getting my consent. I told him kshould like to see
my daughter first. He went on proceeding about it till
he was out of patience. At last he saittit Aid not signify
whether I consented or not, as he would make her his
wife, otherwise heewould not marry any-one else. I then
gave in to him

DREAMY-M:1 ACCIDENT. - COtOONEV, Nov. tr. A
dreadfill accident, attended with loss of life, occurred: here
last night. Asl omnibus, belonging to Mr. Morris, of the
Eagle Hotel, Westport, was conveying 34 poor creatures
who eseaped. from the wreck of the ill-fated Californian
packet to Sligo, and when turning- out of this >town, five
miles from. Sligo, the two off-side wheels went to pieces;
the vehicle of course was upset in a moment, and the un-
fortunate driver (O'Brien) was killed).- Seven others were
more or less dangerously injured; some of them have'
been 'conveyed to tie Sligo infirmary. -

THE E;ITIBITION BUILDING}.—It' appears that this
great favourite of the Dublin public wilt not be lost to
them for sometime- yet. Mr. Darganis generosity has
not been exhausted, and during the winter months, after
the goods shall have been removed, the.building will be
converted into a promenade, with military.bakds perform-
ing. k moderate- price of admission will be charged.
Both Mr. Dargan- and the Dublin Society co-operate in
the..project, which may seem rather strange at this cold
season of the year, but those who know the excessive
fondness of the Dublin people for military music, and
promenades of this sort, wil have no doubt -of its success.
ATTEMPT AT MURDEB.---011 Wednesday morning,
between. 1 and 2 o'clock, as the Rev. M2r. Graham, of

Amery partsn, was sitting at tile Kitchen lire o
residence, a party of men 'came to the rear of 'the house
andlired through the kitchen window. The rev. gentle-
man,was on a very low seat, and this circumstance saved
his life, for some fragments of a ramrod with which the
gun was charged passed through his hat, struck the wall
opposite, and entered the floor. The miscreants then
effected their escape. The scene of this outrage is in the
county of Armagh, and within about 200 yards of the
residence of Mr. Chambre, who narrowly eseaped with
his life•from the hands of:assassins last year:
Tun Exonus.—Harvest operations being completed,
the "rush from Ireland" has. set in with renewed vigour.
The Limerick Reporter says The cry is still, they go.
Nothing can arrest their progress. Fate drives them on-
ward, and they. are determined to obey its impnlses,heed-
less of unheard-of catastrophes at sea—of sickness—of
dangers such as are unparalleled in history—of love of
country, which has well-nigh been extinguished—of every
one tie or affection which should keep people in. the .land
of their birth. It was exceedingly, painful to witness
this morning, before six o'clock, crowds at the Limerick
terminus; these crowds, composed'of emigrants and their
friends, parting, never perhaps to meet more—no less than
forty-seven of the number bound for Melbourne; in Aus.
trali* the others for America ; . all of a comfortable class,
which, under other circumstances, might do well at home,
but which now flies from home 'as if it never possessed an
attraction for them. A hale countryman joined the train
at Boher station, and, being asked where he was going,
replied, with the greatest possible indiffereneeland non-
chalance, ' Only over to New York.' This. may afford
some idea of the callousness with which the. separation.
from Ireland is regarded by the • great majority of emi-
grants. At the junction there was a great augmentation
to the numbers, and as the train ,passed Dandrum, Goold's
Cross, and Thurles, there were additional emigrants
booked for Australia or Amerita.. Efforts are making in
several districts to keep the people at home; but until
landlords learn wisdom it is vain, to expect they will not
leave Ireland, no matter what the horrors they must face
in doing so. Among those who , went this morning was
Mr. Fitzgibbon, late master of the. Boherbuoy auxiliary
workhouse?' The following is a retgrn of the number of
emigrants from Cork through. English ports for each
month of this year, contrasta with the corresponding
weeks of 1852 :

I - The Judge.—Youlfound him so very. warm that you
gave in ?—I told him,- at last, that I w:.B. quite agreeable
to it. He stated he-would settle upon her-all his personal
property. except his pension. He mentioned £250 at
another time. Some days after this the- defendant and
my daughter came ta -my, house together* He was very
uneasy for.-marriage; and-wished to be married. I said,
" May I understand Mr. Hard wishes to marry you ? Do
you think you can love 'Mr. Hard, and make him a good
wife ?" She said, "-I can, father." He-sprang forward
and put out his right hand, and my daughter runs up and
puts her hand smackinto his. I presses 'em together like
that, as hard as I could- squeeze them both together. I
said, "I see you are now both happy and Pleased, and I
hope you will remain so; .and, vartually awaking, I con-
sider you are now really married?' I saw-. there was a
little move • made, and a . bottle produced, and .some wine
and water was made. I took a little drop. neat. He
urged very much for Monday, this being Friday. I was
the only person who overruled it, for he was, so, very obsti-
nate. He told me he had bought a license,-,and it would
be carried • out on • Monday. I told him there was not
time to draw the deed up—the marriage covenant: The.
Thursday following was then fixed for the marriage.
They remained about two hours, and then went away
together: I saw the- defendant the next day at night,
and I was not aware there was anything wrong
.till very
late ; he- muttered something about her not coming to
meet him.as he expected. On the 17th O September I
freely and comfortably, and..entreated us to
drink, accepted.hwhat
which. went to the defendant's house with my daughter. He
usch. we.did. I asked him for an.explanation as
t was the matter. The defendant, said he had not
tow
been well, and did not come out much. He. seemed to be quite amused, drinking a little wine and bnandy. He.-'
rose up and, began humming. He pulled out a ring from
his pocket. He called me and showed me an income- tax
paper. He-then put a ring in my hand, .and asked me
if I thought it a good one. I took it to the.light and saw
the hall-mark.. I said it was very heavy, and, gave it him,
again. He- said, " God bless you, Mary ; keep up . your,
little heart—here's the ring." She advanced to him, and
he placed it on her finger, and asked. her whether it was
jeweller. she could take a little bit out, and make it the
not too large, and she said it was. I, said as. she. was,a
right
went and looked at some houses, and ;the size. He then said, " We'll be married on Monday
morning My daughter, the defendant, and . I left the
,
house, an d:
de-
fendant said one of those was for them to live in, as,he was
about to,purchase two of them. We then went to my (laugh-
ter's house to tea. He was frierdly till ten or, twelve at
night.;„ very merry, and singing songs. About tena'clock ,
he went out, and returned with a lady in about half an
hour.. He said that was the lady the ring-belonged to,
and if may daughter liked to return that ringhe would buy
her a keeper, and she should, have it when they went to ,1
church to be married on Monday. My daughter said she
would not part with the ring. The lady afterwards left
with the defendant. The defendant afterwards came back
and remained some hours, saying it was hie. own house,
and he should remain as long as he liked.. He became
angry and troublesome. He, did not marry my daughter
on the Monday, but he married some one. else. I asked
him that night who the lady was, and he said it was
" Cookey Darling," his intended wife. I said I would not
take that at all, for I knew it was not true. He turned
round to me with a bit. of a snarl, and, said her name was
Mrs. Bailey. I said, "-You have not acted as an upright
man ; you are going- to, be married, to another person."
He was very abusive, and said it would not cost above £5O
to compromise the- matter. My daughter is under 34,
and the defendantis 50 or 60.

THE CASE OF THE TRACT DISTRI-
BUTOR- IN DUBLIN.

IN reference to this case, the John Bull, of Saturday,.
says :—The issue whkh has been raised, and which re-
mains to be tried, is. neither more nor less than this,—
Whether the freedom of discussion, on religious as well as:
on political topics, which, British law has hitherto guaran-
teed, is to be upheld, or whether it is to be suppressed' at
the bidding of the papacy, and in furtherance of its de-
signs upon this country. The principle has been set up
by O'Brennan, affirmed by Justice O'Callaghan, and not
contradicted by the Earl of St. Germans, that the an-
nouncement of public discussions upon the points in. con-
troversy between the true Church and the Church of.
Rome,—even in. the form of sermons preached in a, Pro-
testant church,—is an offence punishable by the. civil
magistrate. This is, in fact, the identical principle on
which the. recent law of the Grand Duke of Tuscany
against the distribution of any writings impugning the
Popish system, is founded ; and if Mr. O'Callaghan's de-
cision is allowed to stand, and to become a precedent, we
shall• soon be in a condition similar to that of Prussia and
other- Protestant countries of the continent, where the
handling of questions affecting the controversy with Rome,
in the pulpit, is made a misdemeanour, on the ground of
its. being an offence against a religion recognized by the
State, and having a tendency to excite, the minds of the
citizens against one another.
That this is the consummation which the Papists are
driving at, cannot be doubted. Even in England, as is
shown by the recent occurrence at Walsall, where Dr.
Armstrong was prevented by the interference of a Popish
magistrate from giving a lecture on the Romish contro-
versy in the school-room attached to St. Peter's Church,
the Popish Priests are invoking the arm of the civil
power, for the purpose of preventing the exposure of
their system of spiritual fraud and corruption. In Ire-
land, while the distribution of a handbill by Protestants
is made penal, Protestant missionaries are knocked down
and beaten within an inch of their lives with perfect im-
punity. The grand jury of the county of Galway, con-
sisting, with one exception, of Papists, refused the other
day to find a true bill against two Papists, charged with a
murderous assault upon a Scripture reader in the employ-
ment of the Irish Church Missions. And from the same
county we have in the Galway Express the account of
a similar assault, committed with the avowed sanction of
the priest. In this case one Pat Coneely felled the Scrip-
ture reader to the ground with a blow from a spade,
kicked him while prostrate, and broke three of his ribs,
put his hand in his mouth with the intention of tearing
the flesh off his face, knocked out one of his teeth, and
would, to all appearance, have murdered him, but for the
timely interference of a convert. The ruffian who com-
mitted this outrage, declared that "he defied the law, for
his priest had told him the law was broken when any of
the preachers came on his land, or entered his house, and
that he might beat them till within an inch of their lives
with impunity."

Cross-examinelr-The defenda.4 is a Chelsea pensioner.
My daughter has_ one child by her former marriage. The
defendant sang two or three little nice songs. They were
not exactly " Let us Haste to, the. Wedding," or " The Sol,
dier Tired of War's Alarms," bid something between the4l..
Other witnesses were called as to the promise. and
breach of it. The writ was served on the evening of I)is
marriage.

The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with £5O
damages.

CURB P°R' CANoRR.—The Augsburg Zeitung states
that Dr. Landolfi, physician to the King of Naples, has
discovered a method for the cure of cancer, when not in
its worst and last stage. Dr. Landolfi had, been sum-
moned to Munich about three months ago to attend a
lady of rank, whose cure he has effected;, as well as that
of many others, during his visit to that city. It is ex-

time invented a new means of obtaining money. She
has hit upon the idea of a series of conversations. Per-
sons solicit an audience of half an hour or an hour at a

the door of a theatre,

that it procures for her some addition to that celebrity
which she runs after with so deplerablo a perseverance."

AMERICAN RAILWAYS.—In spite of high wages and
high rate of interest in the United States, railway travel-
ling is much cheaper there than it is in England. The
fare from Montreal to New York, 410 miles, by express,

HR. BRADLEY AND HR. HODSON.

1 THE following correspondence has passed between these

two gentlemen :

" Falkner-square, Tuesday Evening.
" Sir,—Your statement in Council on Wednesday last,
in reference to certain charges, was as follows:
" There were, he (Mr. Hodson) was sorry to say, two
or three more instances, not only in that Council, but in
another public body with whom he (Mr. Bradley) Was
connected, in which he had used the influence of his
position to carry an election.'
" I have to request from you—
" Firstly,—What other public body, besides the Council,
do you refer to that ' I am connected with ?'

----- .. ---- -
"Secondly,—The nature of the charges which you thus
prefer against me.

- " Thii;lly.—When you will be prepared to substantiat
such alleged offences.—Yours, "E. BRADLEY.
"Mr. Hodson."
" 19 Great Nelson-street North, 17th Nov.

" Sir,—l decline to haVal7yCoinmunication with you
on any subject ; at all events until the inquiry at present
going on by the committee at the Town-hall be finished.
" E. Bradley, Esq." " THOMAS L. HODSON.

" Falkner-square, Thursday Evening.
"Sir,--As you profess in your remarks in Council upon
the charges preferred against me by yourself, that your
only object was the public good, I cannot now understand
(excepting as an evasion of the question and shrinking
from the responsibility of your charge) that you now
decline to answer the subject of my note, as the decision
of the committee appointed by the Council can in no way
affect the charge you prefer against me relative to another
public body ; and therefore consider it due to the public
and myself to give publicity to this short correspondence,
that the public may form its own conclusion.—Yours, &c.
" Mr. Hodson." " ED. BRADLEY.

A CRY FOR " QUARTER" FROM THE

ROIII2IIVISTS.

Ma. CAPE.3I, the well-known Salisbury pervert, has
written a letter to the Times suggesting!' that, if less
acrimony were observed in religious controversy, religion
itself might be all the better for it. Mr:. Capes assumes
that his own side hue all the charity and all the truth ;
and he concludes by asserting that a goinaniat does not
believe that a Protestant is beyond the pale of salvation,
if the said Protestant conscientiously reject- the Popish
system, after due examiiration.
This last assertion shows how much, or father how
little, Mr. Capes himself follows of the system itito`whiCh
he 111 stumbled. As for charity, it was a Vapiahzsur-
pficed ruffian who gloated over the " glorious idea" of a
Protestant massacre ' • and we believe that the minder of
Piotestant landlords and clergymen in Ireland may be-
traced to the fiendish epithets,applied to them by l'opi,sh
dignitaries at public meetings:. Only the night 'before;
last we' arir told :

"'As the Rev. Mr. Graham, of Killevy parish, was
sitting' at the kitchen fire of his residence, a party of menl
cametolhe rear of the house and fired through the kit--
chen window. The rev. gentleman, was on a very low
seat, and the tircumstance saved his life; for some frag-

There' are' two points in the letter of 11,1" k Capes which
have been so well answered by Dr. Cumming;. that we feel
authorized to quote the latter gentleman'svords. Mr.
Capes has; asserted the' correctness of the ICYmanist ver-
sion of Sci4pture. Dr...ea-naming says that
" St. Bonatentute's • Psalter, accepted by the latest
authorities of the church} consists of the Psalins•of David,
the Te Deuna, and. the 'Litany, all weeded of tlxe name of
Deity, and prayed and sung to the Virgin, and is, really
nothing short; of blisphany." The doctor them adds—
" Mr. Capes seems •to repudiate 'exclusive salvation.'
Surely he cannot have forgotten that almost every canon
of the council he' obeys concludes with anathema; and
surely he does net forget that in the creed he repeated on
his joining the Roman Catholic Church, after asserting
transubstantiation,' the supremacy of the Pope, purgatory,
and invocation ofdeparted•artints, he himself closed with
these words, ' This • is' the taw Catholic faith, withoutwhich no one can be saved.' "

We would renitallMr:-Capes—who is, by the way,.. far
too amiable, honest./ .and *sincere. a man to be a Papist-of
the assassin school/ of, the Ultramontanists—that, when
his party cries out itirdess hard blows, they should refrain
from aggression.

Let look at tle ease of Miss Roddy, recorded intour:
columns. A female -Jesuit takes this young girl to a
theatrical mass-house; subdues her judgment by its gew-
gaws, and then shutsclier up, nothing lothe, in a " Ser-
vants' Home !" The-parents•of this poor girl, who is, a
minor, would never bare heard', of er again had they not
bestirred themselves. Wiien- they did, Dr. Grant, the
Pbpish superintendent' it* Southwark, thought he cif&
remember that there was-some.sttelt person as Miss Bocid'y
at some place of Romial,refugtei. amid. that it would be tb:o
~easiest thing in the world-for her distracted father to
recover her if he desiredlt.. Of course it would—the law
would protect him. in the- meantime, the Popish
authorities never thought it. worth their while to inform
the father where his child might be: found, nor cared tar
ask if they might keep her with his; sanction. They were
only retaining her, it seems,. until she was fitted for 801R67
situation.

AIL!. what situation would "she be fitted for after leaving
tba"Servant's Home ?" We remember what advice a
•
Ibpish priest gave to all, Popish. servants in Protestant
fstnulies—namely, to report.all• that passed therein to the
priests, and to do their test to steal the children from the
church of their parents. We, of course, cannot say that
Miss Soddy was qualifying .for a. nnusery-governess in a
Yibtestant household ; limb, when we think what the
Popish system is, againsttw,bich Mr. Capes asks us merely
to roar like sucking doves" we. can only say that, if she
were, we should in no. degree, whatever have been srx-
prised at it.—Church MEP St ate, Gazette.

into the theory of the-tides, examining the various. opi-
nions which have -.been• held upon the subject fram, the
time of Pliny to the -present day, and proving, by *variety
of arguments, and illustrations, the superiority of the wave
theory over others. Some remarkable local peculiarities,
and other titled phenomena, were satisfactorily explained,
and a large amount of useful information conveyed in a
very agreeable manner.
F1CT1T10145,4 CLAIMS IN BANKRUPTCY.—Atthe Bank-
ruptcy Coart, on Monday, last week, in re •Beverelle, Mr.
Pemberton; complained that one of the creditors, Louis
Peverelle?, uucle of the bankrupt, had, made fictitious
claims op, the_ estate, a fact which was _proved. by Mr.
Peverell'es himself., who said that, on being applied to by
Mr. Ceeenevei the official assignee, for his claim against
the estate, he.,sent in nine invoices, or accounts of goods,
purporting to have been delivered to. the bankrupt, the
grossamount being 2412. lls. 24d.; but henow admitted
that these .accoants were manufactured'. for the purpose of
increasing; hid; claim against the estate‘ the real debt due
to him being somewhere about 2100. He said he fabri-
catea__ those invoices at the request of, the bankrupt, and
that he brought the amount up tan the sum of £4OO
by increasing the price and the original items, and adding
ethers which were fictitious. He altered his day-book,
but. not the ledger, to correspond; with this fabricated
account ; and he observed that, if his.books were produced,
they would prove the fraud which he now admitted. On
Thursday Louis Peverelle, a witness in the case, was sum-
moned before Mr. Commissioner Perry, to produce his
books and some letters having reference to the bankrupt's,.
affairs. He submitted his books and four letters written..
to him by the bankrupt, dated August 21st, 23rd, ausb
24th, and September 16th, 1853. The letters were written,
in Italian, but translations of them had been obtainedi.
They all had referenee.to the witness increasing his claim,
on the bankrupt's estate from £lOO to £412, a fact whiali. he•
(witness) confessed to, at the former examination. The
witness also produced, his books, and pointed out the,alte-
rations he had, made, in order to give an appearance of
genuineness to the claim of £412 made on the estate. The
books were signed by the commissioner, and. late letters
were given up, to the court.
Sricine: OR A, HPIISEBREAKER.—On Thursday, the
house of Mr. Edwin Stott, farmer, Westttelree, was en-
tered and robbed about noon. Suspicion fell upon a man
named Mills,. who was believed to hove committed
many depredations in the neighbourhood, and he was
apprehended. He was brought. to Oldham, and, along
with a man named Caughall,remanded.till Monday. They
were, placed in separate cells, and, the regulations of the
chief-constable are, that all prisoners he visited every
half-hour, night and day. Sergeant Parker visited Mills'
cell about 20 minutes to five o'clock on Saturday afternoon,
and was relieved at five o'clock by another officer, whose
duty it was to see that all was right when he received
charge. This officer went down at five o'clock, and found
Mills suspended by his braces from a bar in the window
of his cell. He was instantly cut down, and he after-
wards groaned once, and seemed to breathe twice. An
inquest was held, when the father of the deceased stated
that -no symptoms of insanity, weakness, or despondency,
had ever been observed in his son or any of the family.
I The jury returned a verdict of febe de se. The coroner
explained that the law required that the body should be
interred within twenty-four hours after the verdict, and
between the hours of nine and twelve o'clock at night.
The verdict having been delivered before nine o'clock,
it became imperative that the interment should take
place that night. He, therefore, issued his warrant to
the police authorities, requiring them to see to its fulfil-
ment. The body was interred in the lower part of the
church-yard, about a quarter to twelve o'clock, without
any ceremony or observance whatever. The excitement
of some of the crowd at the time seemed to great that it
was feared that an attempt would be made to take the
body up again : but shortly after twelve o'clock the crowd
had dispersed, and ne dititarbaece whatever occurred,
