IRELAND.

The Dublin Evening Mail says that, for some unex-
plained reason, the repeal button has been entirely discon-
tinued.

The proprietors of the Pilot, Freeman, and Nation,
now in bridewell, received £122, their stipend for the last
week, from the repeal fund.—Limerick Chronicle.

The repeal rent for last week amounted to £l,OOO 165.,
being nearly £6OO less than the week previous. Father
Tierney, one of the late traversers, took the chair, in
order, we presume, to show the effects of the clemency of
the government.

On Sunday last, the Rev. Mr. Brasbie read his public
recantation from the errors of Popery, in Dingle Church.
The fact of a priest abjuring Popery caused great excite-
ment, and the magistrates having got full notice that the
mob were determined to execute Lynch law on the priest,
on his road to the church, they took full precaution to
preserve the peace.

SUNDAY OCCUPATION IN IRELAND.—There was horse-
racing at Lahinch last Sabbath, for the sum of £B, when
Mr. R. Floyd, Mr. J. Shannon, and Mr. G. Mahon
started, and Mr. Floyd was declared winner, but not before
a poor woman was ridden over, and whose life is despaired
of. Two riders fell, and one broke his arm.—Limerick
Chronicle.

A NEW WAY TO RAISE THE REPEAL RENT.—A
threatening notice was posted on the hall-door of a gentle-
man's house in the neighbourhood of Littleton, a few
nights ago, to the following purport :—" Sir, you'll be
shot—nothing can prevent it. lam your friend, and have
this long time been trying to save you ; but it is no use :
the party against you are too strong and too numerous,
and the only way you can save yourself is to give ten
pounds to the parish priest to make friends for you.—Ne-
nagh Guardian.
REPEAL PROPHETS.—The Romans had great faith in
a parrot—so have the Romanists of Ireland. Disap-
pointed in the prophecies of DANIEL, they now lend an
ear to Pretty Poll. " There is," quoth the Belfast Vin-
dicator, an eminent organ of repeal and Roman ism :
" There is a parrot in the possession of Mr. Chas. M'Alis-
ter, of this town, which, when asked Will we have the
repeal?' answers, You will, you will!' " This " bird
of presage" is as well taught as the Connemara echo—
which, when asked " How do you do, Paddy Blake ? "
was always ready with the answer—" Pretty well, I thank
you."
Muunrit DURING THE HONEYMOON.—An inquest
was held on Tuesday last in Freshford, on the body of a
man named Thomas Meany, who, it appeared in evidence,
had been married only three weeks. The deceased made
a dying declaration that the poison (Spanish flies) was
given him by his wife, and he suspected one Thomas
'Jarman to be her accomplice. The jury found, " That
Thomas Meany came by his death in consequence of
poison having been administered to him by his wife, Ca-
therine Meany ; and we find the said Catherine Meany
guilty of wilful murder, and strong suspicion attaches to
one Thomas Lannon as an accomplice."—Kilkenny Mo-
derator.

BROTHER BlSHors.—At the Mayor's dinner at Derry,
a few days since, the Protestant Bishop of Derry and
Raphoe paid some extraordinary compliments to Dr.
M'Gettigan, the titular of the latter diocese. After Dr.
M'Gettigan returned thanks for the drinking of his
health, his lordship rose, and, in the fervour of the mo-
ment, designated him his ' brother prelate of Raphoe,'
and then, in the warmest terms, expressed his admiration
of the `beautiful, delightful, and truly Christian senti-
ments' he had just heard from him. It seems almost in-
credible that a prelate of the Church of England should
thus claim brotherhood with a priest of the Romish
Apostacy ; but from the confirmations of the report that
we have received there appears no doubt of the fact.
THE DAY OF PRAYER FOR O'CONNELL.—Owing to
the interdict of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dub-
lin, Dr. Murray, the ceremonial of the " General Day of
Humiliation" was eclipsed of one-half its eclat in conse.
quence of the priests having been forbidden to read aloud
from the altar the form of prayer for the health of the
chief conspirator. This decision caused the greatest
amazement in the various chapels in the metropolis ; and
so indignant were the congregation of Francis-street
Chapel, that they forwarded a strong remonstrance to the
parish priest, the Rev. Mr. Flanagan, against his compli-
ance with the orders of his superior. The whole pro-
ceeding clearly shows that it was not true, as originally
stated, that the bishops were all of one mind with respect
to this piece of solemn mummery.

HYDROPHOBIA.—On the 2d of March we announced
the death, by hydrophobia, of the eldest daughter of our
county treasurer, James Delacour, of Sunnyhill, Esq.
Little did we anticipate that that melancholy malady
would claim a second victim from the family, and that the
father who then mourned a daughter, would now be bowed
to the earth by the bereavement of a wife. But so it is.
The same dog which licked the lip of the one had unfor-
tunately been admitted to a similar familiarity with the
other, and though seven months have passed, and proba-
bly no apprehension existed, nor any thought had been be-
stowed on the circumstance until the event recalled it to
recollection, the fatal symptoms showed themselves on
Thursday, and at eleven o'clock on Sunday Mrs. Dela-
cour expired. Just as in the case of her regretted daugh-
ter, a pain in the ear gave the first indication of what fol-
lowed, and in less than eight-and-forty hours Mallow
mourned the removal of a lady in whose recent sorrows it
sympathised so deeply.— Cork Constitution.
AN INTELLIGENT WITNESS.—The County Cork
Grand Jury met on Monday week at twelve o'clock, and
proceeded to investigate claims for malicious injuries, &c.

JUDICIAL PASTIMES —The Galway Vindicator states,
thtt the Judges of Assize arrived at Clifden without tha
usual escort of military or police, but in lieu thereof, and
" in compliment to the hon. visiters, the beautiful and'
well-instructed temperance band, all repeaters, ace-omPa"
vied their lordships, and played many of our nationar
and soul-stirring airs, which the Judges enjoyed in no
small degree." Curious company for staid Justice Jack"
son and Mr. Baron Lefroy !

DR. -WHALE AGAIN.—John, Archbishop tit TuaD
has addressed a second letter to Sir Robert Net, through
the Freeman's Journal, on the subject of the Irish Chari-
table Bequests Bill. The objections urged are substan-
tially the same as in the former letter ; the following sen-
tences are more important, connected as they are with Sit
R. Peel's recent remark on the subject of a national grant
for the education of the Roman Catholic youth—a matter
which fills the hearts of Irish Protestants with many mis-
givings. The haughty it will be seen, is not al
all unwilling to be endowed, though he asks at first, of
course, the most favourable terms. " Nothing," he
writes, " nothing but separate grants for separate educe"
tion will ever give satisfaction to the Catholics of Ireland•
* * * * Before the next session of Parliv
ment, we will have petitions with thousands of signature .
praying for a share of the public funds for our people to
proportion to their numbers, and their services to the
state. We shall also petition for the erection and endoW-
trent of Catholic provincial colleges, as well as diocesae
seminaries. It will be well to meet our just wishes, for an
average of two thousand pounds a week to the repeal asso-
ciation shows the mighty resources of a people resolved to'
be free. The yearly amount would throw into the shade
your increased grant for education. Think you that a*
people so patriotic and religious will not co-operate with
their bishops in freeing education from all penal shackles
and wresting our embryo colleges and universities froi
hands, which would deface them with some of those W'
dern deformities that spoil the colleges of Germany and
France, but which honour and gratitude to them) the zeal
and intrepidity of the French prelates are gradually takiot
down ?
