After this, who can doubt of Mr. O'Connell's valour ?

" I think, in my very conscience," quoth Captain FLUELI EN
—speaking of mine ANC IIiNT PISTOL—" that he is as valiant as
MARK ANTHONY. I'll assure you, 'a uttered as praye 'ords at
the pridge, as you shall see in a summer's day."

And so we think of Daniel. He utters as "prare'ords."
as any man living or dead. Nor we have not the least
doubt, that when the Pope lands in Ireland •at the bead
of an invading army—and whenever James the Second
"turns to him that part of his.sacred person which he was
fondest of shewing his enemies" Daniel O'Connell will
be found as good as his word.—Like orator Henly, he
knows whom and when to kick : and, like him, will be
always up to time, on the proper occasion.—Dublin
Evening Mail.

THE MARCHIONESS WELLESLEY.,---We will confess we
were greatly astonished to perceive in The Freeman's
Journal, a few days since, a three line paragraph contra-
dicting " upon authority" the previous statements osten-
tatiously and deliberately put forward in that same jour-
nal, descriptive of the " '''FATE" (the very word used) by
which her Excellency was accompanied. As we said .be-
fore, there may be some difference as to the precise num-
ber of horses, carriages, and servants—the number of at-
tendants, household officers, or functionaries that go to
make up the thing called" State ;" but surely there could
be no mistake as to a "guard of honour," and this the
Freeman' Journal—speaking of course on its, own know-
ledge—distinctly stated was an accompaniment on two
occasions. The truth is, the Cabinet Ministers feared
that the game of Popery was playing too rapidly, if not
-too soon,
,in this country, and orders were issued for the
authorised contradiction.

It really distresses us to be forced into this discussion;
but being necessarily compelled by the Globe, we are
obliged,as an act of duty, to do so.
The ceremony at the Jesuits' place of worship.was not,
as stated by the Globe, "a little musical festival." It was
the Popish ceremony of high mass—at which some Pro-
testants holding offices at the Irish court were compelled
(being those in waiting) to be present, and for adding to
the eclal of which a large body of the civil force was or-
dered to be in attendance. The mass was followed by an
oratorion, styled a "panegyric," upon the alleged merits
and virtues of the deceased Saint Francis Xavier, delivered
by the head of an illegal society existing in this country
—namely, the Jesuits—in which the narrator of the pa-
negyric, as an additional stimulus to the adoration of his
hearers, stated—oh! monstrous absurdity I that the body
of Xavier, after his death, was rammed into a cask of
quick lime, with a view of insult and indignity ; but that
such was his sanctity, that even this decomposing material
pi oduced no effect upon his mortal remains, which arrived
many years after in a state ofperfect preservation at Rome,
where they still remain for the edification of the faithful.
And this is the beastly trash preached—these are the
facts narrated iR a'Christian country, before the represen-
tative of majesty, in the presence of the Irish court, and
in the nineteenth century !!—Dublin Evening Mail.

In the Gazette of Friday night, a proclamation appears
for the further prorogation of Parliament to Tuesday, the
4th of February next, then to meet for the despatch of
business. When we consider the temper of the times,
and the real characters of the wretched men who, unfor-
tunately for the best interests of this devoted country, are
at present at the helm of public affairs, we believe the
most careless observer of passing events must tremble to
contemplate the measures which the next Session of Par-
liament will be required to pass, without even the shadow
of deliberative legislation. Our revolutionary Ministers
have inexorable task-masters in the uninformed, the des-
perate, and misguided masses whom they arrayed against
the intelligence, property, and institutions of the empire,
for their own selfish party purposes, and to obtain a tem-
porary triumph over their political adversaries; and they
will soon be called upon, by these elements of social dis
order and mischief, to which they were the means of first
giving shape and being, to complete the work which they
have begun, by further concessions to popular ignorance
and clamour, and by making still greater sacrifices to the
great Moloch of anarchy and confusion. All the great
interests of the country, if not already ruined, are threat-
ened with destruction. No civil or religious institution
is to escape the axe of the,destroyer. Principles, sub-
versive of all government, of all order, and of all rights
of property, are now boldly stated, and eagerly applauded,
by the discontented and desperate,\the factious and ir-
religious, which the late Reform Bill let loose as a scourge
and a curse upon the land. At what they have already
done Ministers may be well appalled ; but deeper terror
may seize them when they contemplate the course they
have yet to pursue. Under them, if a merciful Provt
dente does not arrest their career, and enlighten the mis-
guided millions who urge them on to consummate the
ruin of their country, the glory and prosperity of Great
Britain will have passed away for ever. They are dizzied
with terror at the storm they have raised; but we have
no hope they will have the high-mindedness to acknow-
ledge, with regret, their political errors, or the moral
courage to brave its fury, much less the prudence to give
its desolating energies that direction which will prove
least injurious to the interests of the state and of religion.

of the moon visible in this part of the world, occurred on the
2d of September, MO, which, owing to unfavourable . weather,
was very partially and imperfectly observed. In this eclipse
there were t!..iree degrees of shade observed on the disc of the
the moon during its progress through the shadow, from which
it was inferred that the earth's shadow had different degrees of
intensity;—first the penumbra; then the coppery colour, or
general obscurity ; and lastly, the dark nucleus or centre of the
shadow, which passed as a dark patch over the moon's surface.
In some total eclipses the moon has entirely disappeared, as
though it were blotted from the heavens ; in general, however,
it is visible, though involved in the earth's shadow, and exhibits
a coppery appearance. The total disappearance has been ob-
served to occur about the period of the solstices, and the greatest
luminosity at the time of the equinoxes. The ensuing eclipse
will afford a favourable opportunity of observing whether the
former is the case, occurring as it does so near the winter
solstice.
