in Ireland has proved a total failure. Ih Tipperarrf the
experiment has been tried to a greater extent than• in

LIE QUEEN-VICTORIA STEAMEav—The arrangements-
for raising this unfortunate vessel are still progressing
most satisfactorily, the process being_.by- inflation. The
plate has-been saved by the diver, but he cannot be in-
duced to go -down a second time, as-the scene which :pre--
sented•itself in the cabin was the most horrible he had
ever been called upon to witness: He -says that on his -
goingdown the cabin stairs, he thought that he had en—
tered a wax-work- exhibition, the• corpses never having
moved from their positions since• the vessel went down..
There were some 18' or 20 persons-in the cabin; who.
seemed to be holding conversation with each other; _and
the•general appearance of-the whcle:seene was so lifa-like„.
that he was almost inclined to believe that some were yet
living. From their various positions and countenances,
they. could have had no idea of- the disaster which wea
hastening them to so untimely an end. This- at once
accounts for the non-finding of the bodies.,

RUMOURED PERVERSIONS.

--
_

Wo give the following from the Morn:mg Herald of
Saturday. If it should, prove to be true, it is-a lamentable
fact, and shows the stern necessity of using more vigorous
measures for resisting the encroachments of Rome :
" Rumour has given, for some day,s_past, lady Peel and,
her daughter to the Church of Rome. It is said that a,
union with a Romanist, the son of Lord Camoys, is con—
templated, and that this conversion is a preliminary step.
One of the most observable features of modern Popery is
the crafty and unceasing eTorts. it makes to entrap the
wealthy and high-born. A. weekly journal gives in its last
number the following statement We are informed
that the Hon. Mr. West, •_;on of the Earl of Delawarr, has
been passing the winter at Rome, and has been marked
out as an object of the efforts of the Vatican. The Rev.
Mr. Pollen,, (late proctor of Oxford, and now a Roman
Catholic,) and Monsignor Talbot, the Pope's chamber-
lain, used the utmost efforts for the purpose, but he
always declined controversy. On the 31st January they
asked him if he would like to be introduced to,the Pope,
to which he consented. During the audience, to his great
surprise, the Pope laid his hand on his shoulder, and said
he was very glad to hear of his good disposition to the
church, and he had better make up his mind to profess the
true faith publicly on the 2d of February, when he (the
Pope) would be at St. Peter's to bless the candles. Mr.
West, who had not the remotest intention of the sort,
was, however. so. taken by surprise, that he made no
reply. Hodid not go to St. Peter's on the 2d ; but on the
following day Mr. Talbot requested him to call upon him
at his rooms in the Vatican, when he and Mr. Pollen sub-
mitted to, him a parchment which he called 'a faculty.' in
which Mr. West's name was written in full, and Mr. Tal-
bot said that his holiness had given him a dispensation to
receive him at once, in his room, into the bosom of the
church. Mr. West protested against their conduct, and
said ho had not the slightest intention of becoming a
Roman Catholic ; and ultimately, with difficulty, he left
the Vatican.' We have heard of many similar instances,
in most of which the manoeuvre has proved successful. It
is, however, one comfort to feel assured that such tricks
can only succeeed with vaccillating and weak-minded
persons. From among such, Rome has, of late years,
largely replenished her ranks."

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS, AN EFFECTUAL CURE FOR
DROPSY.—Extract of a letter from Mr. W. Tomlinson,
of Bangor, dated May 1, 1851. "To Professor Hol-
loway.—Sir,—For several years I was severely afflicted
with dropsy ; at times my feet and legs were so much
swollen that I was quite unable to walk. I consulted
many doctors, and tried remedy after remedy, with
hopes of obtaining relief, but I was disappointed in all,
until 1 tried your invaluable pills, which I gratefully
ackowledge to have been the sole means of effecting a
cure of my complaint, and I um tow is the enjoyment of
excellent health,"

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

The Earl of NIALmEssuRY moved for certain returns
relating to railway accidents during the past year, the
number of which had been so great as to create a general
opinion that the lines of railway were in a dangerous
state.—Lord STANLEY, of Alderley, had no objection to
the production of the returns, which were accordingly
ordered. THURSDAY, MARCH 3.
The Registration of Assurances Bill was read a second
time, after a long speech from Lord ST. LEONARD'S, in
which he asserted that the plan now proposed would
add materially to the expense of transferring land, expose
deeds of great value to imminent risk of being lost, and
prove in practice a complete failure.
FRIDAY, AlARcet 4.
A number of petitions were presented against Maynooth,
and against the admission of Jews to Parliament.

FOREIGN' REFI:GEES

Lord LYNDHURST called attention to the irritation ex-
cited in the minds of the Austrian Government and
people in consequence of the abusa of the right of asylum
allowed to foreign refugees in this country, and expressed
a strong opinion that the comnon law would prove
adequate to punish such offenders against international
law.---The Eli.' of ABERDEEN said that communications
had passed, though no demands had been made by
Austria respecting the refugees. I; was, no doubt, the
duty of the Government, if in possession of proper proofs
that refugees were abusing the hosptality afforded them,
to take the initiative in prosecuting them, and it bad
already been determined, in case any just cause for com-
plaint should arise, to institute a prosecution on the part
of the Crown against the offenders.
