" The Romish religion calls itself one, but it has a sin.
gular variety of forms and aspects. For the loverof forms
and outward religion, it has a gorgeous ritual. To the
mere man of the world it shows a pope on the throne,
-- Is and bishops in palaces, and all the splendour of
ainion. At the same time, for the self-deny-
, mystical, and fanatical. it has all the forms of
fe. To him who would scourge himself into
it offers a whip. For him who who would

starve into spirituality, it provides the mendicant con-
vents of St. Francis. For the anchorite, it prepares the
death-like silence of La Trappe. To the passionate
young woman, it presents the raptures of St. Theresa, and
the marriage of St. Catherine with the Saviour. For him
who would not wish to leave the. world, its luxuries, en-
joyments, and pleasures, it offers the house of the wealthy
Jesuits. For the restless ilgritn, whose piety needs
greater variety than the cell of the monk, it offers shrines,
tombs, relics, and other holy places in christian lands,
and above all, the holy sepulchre near Calvary. To the
generous, sympathising enthusiast, it opens some frater-
nity or sisterhood of charity. To him who is inclined to
take heaven by violence, it gives as much penance as he
can desire ; and to the mass of men, who wish to recon-
cile the two worlds, it promises a purgatory, so far
softened down by the masses of the priest and the prayer
of the faithful, that its fires can be anticipated without
overwhelming dread."

VERY LA77EST INTELLIGENCE
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.

DUBLIN, Monday Evening,
Half-past Eight o'Clock.

As I had anticipated, the proceedings at the " Concilia-
tion Hall" extended to au unusually late hour. The
most important feature of the day was the adhesion of
Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., for Limerick. to the Repeal

Association in unqualified terms. The meeting at past
six o'clock adjourned unt'l one o'clock to-morrow, the
rent for the week was announced to be, as far as could be

ascertained up to six o'clock, £2284; numerous communi-
cations containing remittances had arrived, the amount
of which had not been ascertained at the hour of adjourn-
ment, and which will therefore be carried to next week's
account. A government reporter was in attendance.
