Is another part of oar paper will be fogad, an ac-
cost of the proceedings at the Anni Festival
of the Remerolext Society of St. Patrick, which was
held to Saturday, at the City of London T .We
the attention of our readers to this subject, with
Familiar pleasure, first—because the object of this So-
ciety is the Education of the Poor; and secondly be-
nor those poor are Irish. We are not converts to
the opinion maintained by the friends of Ministers,
the ether day, in the House of Commons, that an in-
crease of the influence of the Crown is , be.
rote of that increase of knowledge among the No-
?Lc, which distinguishes the present age. If the
administration of public affairs be wise and good, it
rill be loved and supported by the people in propor-
ties as the people are well informed. If you will have
a corrupt and base Government, then Education in the
Foot is jostly-to be deprecated by you, because it sill
era their eyes, every day, more and more, to the
wren of your misrule. We are Friends to the Educa-
tion of the Poor, because the prospect of reform in
public matters, which we see increasing beady, we at-
tribute to the increase of knowledge among the
hone. If the Lowest CLAIMS had not been taught
to reams on their condition, and to trace their
arrrichednen to its sources, the Gentry (even those

',knelt by (lovernment) and the middle
claws, would have gone on for ages in the darkness
misery int* which this country had bete unhap-
pily plunged. Soma men, whose pens were endowed
rid the rare power of writing to the nwiltitaide, laid
Scapa of knowledge open and bare befo►e the pets-
asd, from that time, a war, a sacred war,
ranged with wicked Governments, and will be
nrrikoa entil it is swallowed up in victory. We
now, therefore, view such institutions as that
of $l. Pat, irk with other feelings than those
of the warmest admiration and gratitude. This
ormiety, however, has another claim to our re-
rpm. They are the children of lataw Pooa, on
' shorn it bestows education, and many of the patrons
end friends dale institution are English. England
its iafticted iammierable wrongs upon Iceland. In

fierier, opportaoities are offered to oar gentry to
leek the lash, is their rising g ion, by girint
mcnutien is dash' poor children. Some medicine is
hnlladmisi►tesed to the wounds we have inflicted.

&se Pattie papas of Thursday give eveoaata that
&steward of Jonx Baowx, Esq. had been stoned
•death, by the Whiteboys in the liberties of Lime-
kit, sod that one of the Police was beset and killed
6! a ihnilar party between kilbeggan and Ilorseleap.
lase of the Irish papers, however, that have reached
r ti-day make mention of the former murder; and,
11.eelt other outrages are stated to have taken place,
tr Dublin Everting Poet expresses satisfaction that
tot Jittarbacces appear to be on the decline. The
Ilth Liberties of the City of Limerick bare been
l',erti ander the operation of the Insurrection
Ac: and at the Special Sessions for that county,
no terms have been found guilty, and twelte
atz.titted. The proceedings under the hour-
om," Act have also commenced at Conk, and in such
scar as affords a hope that it will socceed in ra-
h' pacifying the county. On IVednesday two men
there found guilty, and eleven acquitted.
