O'CONNELL'S LAST.

It is altogether a superfluous task to prove Mr. O'Connell tt
liar, that has been done over and over again; nevertheless, it
is necessary sometimes to do so in justice to the objects of his
calumny. In this detestable man's second letter to the people
of England, appear the following paragraphs:—
. "The rector of this parish is the ltev. Mr. Longfield. He
has been rector for the last.lo or l Z years ; I beliemhe has not
been as many days iu the parish. foever saw him ; hod the
only service he ever did me, was leaving his usual residence at,
Bath or Cheltenham, and coining to an election to Kerry for
the purpos of voting against me-,--that is all.
" his composition for tithes ens of the parish amounts to
£5OO per annum, or thereahou.s. lie has also three or four
glebes There aro two parishes according to the Catholic
sion. We, the Catholics, cheeriukly sudputt the Catholic cler-
gymen of both.
"The case, then, is this..-74, as a catholic, hai,e to suppor
my own clergymen. to build my own -church, and keep it in
repair. 'The parish is poor, and the principal burden of all
these falls on me; and now the lievereod Mr. Longfield in-
sists that, in addition, I shall pay him £5O a-year for tithes.;
and because 1 deem this demand, as it manifeStly is, most un-
just and unreasonable, he eauses.a bill to be filed'against me in
the Court of Exchequer,-bands me over to a voracious attorney
to mulct me in heavy costs, and then, forsooth, tells me that the
religion which stimulates him to, and sanctions, this gross and
palpable injustice, is better thou my religion."
The Rev. Mr. Longfield thus replies to the above in a letter
addressed .

" TO THE SIDITOR OP THU CORK CONSTITUTION.

" Sir,—l have seen in yoni paper a letter to the people of
England, in which niv name is introduced. If it were addressed
to the people of Ireland I should not take the trouble of con-
tradicting the false assertions in it, which the writer calls facts,
as his facts are too well known in this country; but in this (as
I state it) apology for net paying his debts to me, though as 1
could prove, he has paid other clergymen when it was his in-
terest, there is hardly one fact; except, indeed, it may be true
that he will not pay me.
"As to my residing in Bath or Cheltenham, I never spent a
day in either, but have resided in another parish, and officiated
without a curate for 38 years, and novel spent as much as one
month. out tif it. So much for this fact;. and as to the tithe
composition in Mr. O'Conuell's parish . being £5OO, it is little
parish, he knows
more than half that sum, being but -1":56.

" As to the number of days I spent in the
nothing; but when I got the parish there was neither church,
clergyman, nor glebe-house in it. Now there are all three: As to
the glebes; there is

from a man who has not paid his tithes these four years.

Correction, had been surprised by heal ing the soft strains of a
flute within that prison, arid in Vain had he exercised his vigi-
lance to dicover whence those sounds proceeded, as no such in-
strument . could be discovered in any part of the prison, nor
' upon the person of any' of the prisoners. The other day, how-
ever the mystery was cleared up, for on removing a stool in the
day room, one of the feet came off, and it was then found, that
one of the prisoners had most ingetifou,ly construeted a flute out
of it, in order to lighten the weary hours
.of his incarceration.
We can hardly Clio k that one who thus disposed of his leisure
time is irreclaimably vicious.—York Herald.
