Columbia, we are indebted for London and
Liverpool papers, whichin addition to those
received from our correspondent in London,
form regular file from the 1st to the 10th
! of August. These papers do not present us
with any thing very interesting, they arc prin-
cAally occupied upon affairs in Ireland, OF

daBs paper. The Bulletins of the Kings

not happen SO soon as was expected in the

"THE PROCLAMATION AND THE
STATUTE.
:" .Arrcst ofthe Deiegates.-Aftera weeks
defiance of the Government, during which
period the Roman Catholic Convention, in
their speeches, their resolutions, and their
paragraphs, have denied its power, opposed
its ordinances, and ridiculed its measures,
the proof is now given that the Proclamati-
on was no idle vaunt. Some persons who put
themselves forward either as Delegates or
Electors are arrested--and it is now to be
seen whether the law is strong enough to
protect its own enactments.
"T4e Conventional Constituents, or Mem
bcrs, we know not yet which, who were pre-
sent at the election in LifFey-street Chapel,

Chapel, on the 31st Of July, 1911, when as
we understand, they entered into sufficient

"Thus the question is brought TO an issue
and it is now TO be enquired Of by the coun-
try, whether the Proclamation of the Gov

cause in their hands. The informations have
