FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDI

MoND

AY MORNING

So long a period has now elapsed-since the public were
wont to be roused by proclamations -of " glorious victories,"

and the issuing of " Extraordinary Gazettes," that people
were taken by surprise on Saturday night, when, shortly
before ten o'clock, the LORD AlLvon, attended by the
city authorities, made their appearance, preceded by the
trumpeters and mace-bearer, and, at the front of the Royal
Exchange, made proclamation of a victory achieved by the
allied army over the Russians in the Crimea. The war
having hitherto been conducted with such sneaking quiet-
ness, and the advantages gained over the enemy having
been allowed to ooze out with such obvious official hesi-

tancy, nobody knew what to make of the present startling

intimation. Not a f

doubt, however, was cleared up shortly afterwards by the
issue of an " Extraordinary Gazette," in which the fact was

Whether the telegraphic dispatch relative to
,e fall of Sebastopol be immediately confirmed or
not, the news of Saturday evening will exercise, for
a time at all events, a salutary effect on the position
of the Coalition. Of the ultimate reduction of that
fortress, a belief was extensively participated in
even by the Court of Russia. The unopposed landing
of the allied troops in the Crimea, on becoming known at
St. Petersburg, created an immense sensation among all
rank's, and is said to have most painfully affected the
Czln, who had been led to believe that great opposing
means were provided along the whole coast, which would
have either prevented the landing, or have rendered it a
dangerous and destructive operation to the invaders. The
event, it is said, has opened his eyes to another of the
gigantic shams by which his stubborn spirit has been
buoyed up and sustained ; and he now begins to feel that
immensity of territory on which his greatness seemed
built is, in reality, the source of his weakness. Discontent
in the Russian capital is taking different forms of mani-

exercis

festation, conspicuous among which are fires in various

portions of the government departments. These occur with
such remarkable frequency, as to leave no doubt that they
are the work of incendiarism.

as befitted a pious and Christian people, a
large majority of the British nation, in deep humility of
heart, approached the Throne of Grace, in grateful thanks-
giving to ALMIGIITY GOD, for that bounty He has vouch-
safed to us in a plenteous and well-gathered harvest. The
churches and the various dissenting places of worship in
London, as well, without doubt, as throughout the coun-
try, were thronged by congregations of devout worship-
pers, who, raising their voices in thankfulness, yet bowed
their knees and humbled their hearts in trusting depend-
ence before that Heavenly Father, who, in fulfilment of
His own wise and benevolent designs, has covered the land
with plenty, and given unto His people abundantly. Such
an acknowledgment, at such a time, was peculiarly befit-
d, if ever an instance is to occur in which party
differences and sectarian spleen are to give way before the
dictates of sound religion, an occasion of general acknow-

This, however, has not been permitted; the pseudo-hier-
archy of Rome, exercising the power which bigotry has
accorded to them in Ireland, have decreed that the day
set:apart fora grateful outpouring of thankfulness through-
out the kingdom shall be devoted to a different and a

and good feeling,

ordered that yesterday should be set apart for a
general collection in aid of the funds for establishing an
additional Romish University in Ireland. In this con-
temptuous refusal to allow their followers to mingle in
either prayer or thankfulness to GOD with their Protestant
fellow-subjects, the pretended bishops of the Romish
Church in Ireland have gone far to show how malignant
and childish, if it were not dangerous, is their hatred of
Protestants and of Protestantism. Many things have of
late years conduced to show that the hold of this grinding
spiritual tyranny over the minds of the people has been
irksome, though acquiesced in. A few more such feats of
contumacious self-will and the bond will be entirely broken.
Already do we find numerous indications of diminished
priestly sway, and each returning day is adding to the
number. The Popish priest is no longer the despotic
ruler of the parish in which he resides ; and the pea-
-applying their own notions, rude, indeed, they
may be, yet they are their own—in judging.of men and
matters, are now nearly as prompt in the infliction of what
BAcoN calls " wild justice" against the offences of priests
as against those of others. In proof of this, on the fair-
day at Drumlish, some of the " pisantry" entered the
yard of the Rev. PATRICK M`KEoN, P.P., and stabbed
his watch-dog in several places. Within a few miles of
the same village, not long ago, the Rev. Mr. SHERIDAN,
Roman Catholic curate of Kelloe, was knocked down, and
escaped with much difficulty from his assailants. Such
instances of outrage, though highly reprehensible, cannot
be denied as evidence of waning influence. The truth is,
these sacerdotal despots have exercised their filched autho-
rity with too indiscriminate a severity, and their unwil-
ling thralls have been driven to revolt. Nor is this oppo-
sition to their rule confined to the uneducated mass, or
directed alone against the humbler members of the priest-
hood. The contagion of revolt has stretched across the
wide Atlantic, and included in its innoculation men who,
in Ireland, exercised a sway second only to that of the
priesthood, yet bent the knee and licked the dust in token
of submission to priestly domination ; and these de-
nounce the highest functionaries of the Romish Church,
attacking bishops, and hurling defiance and contempt at
the POPE himself. An open rupture has broken out in
New York between the representatives of these two
parties, the chief belligerents being none other than his
pseudo grace Archbishop HUGHES and the redoubted
JOHN MITCHELL, the ostensible cause of the dispute being
the " wrongs of Ireland !" In reference to the famous
" Cabbage-garden rebellion," they have exchanged high
defiance, the prelate acquitting himself only second-best
in the affray. " If," says MITCHELL, alluding to the
rising so ingloriously terminated in the widow's garden,
at Ballingarry, " that insurrection failed, and ended with-
out so much as a blow struck, the failure is due, not to
cowardice or to faithlessness on the part of those you call
`Young Irelanders,' but to the treachery and meanness
of the Irish Roman Catholic priests." So, in the opinion
of Mr. MITCHELL, the priestly prestige is assuredly gone,
and, firm in this belief, he waxes yet bolder, and says," I
tell you, bishop, that nothing can so grossly outrage the
feeling, or tend to damage the civil position of your coun-
trymen—(but, I beg pardon, your grace, I believe, is a
Welshman)—of the Irish in America, as the teachings of
the Roman Catholic press, especially your grace's organ
and Dr. BnowNsos's Review, in favour of the intolerant
despotisms of Europe. If half the nations of the earth
must be held in civil bondage for ever—if democratic
freedom itself is to be openly denounced in the old world
and undermined and sneered at in the new—if American
Republicans and the Roman Catholic Irish are to be set
against each other in deadly strife, and all because the
POPE rules badly a petty principality in Italy, be assured
that the Irish will begin to curse the POPE, and his tiara,
and inquisitions, congregations, conclaves, colleges, and
the rest of the clerical apparatus?' It is said that, when
feuds break out between certain members of the commu-
nity, honest men are likely to come by their own. How
such a proverb may apply In the present instance it is not
for me to say ; but certainly the freedom of invective in-
dulged in by the rebel censor does not savour much of
reverence for the priestly office, nor of personal respect
for those who hold it.
A rumour has gained considerable currency, most pro-
bably founded on nothing more stable than club-room
gossip, that one object of Prince ALBERT'S late visit to
France was to offer the garter, vacant by the death of the
late King of SAXONY, to his Imperial Majesty NAPOLEON
III.; the same rumour adding that Loris NAPOLEON at
once condescended to accept the proffered honour, Belief
