Twelve @ Clock II Thousands con-
tlnue to arrive. The exemplary Cath
ol'c pastors of .1ramore, Kell, and
Newton, &c. with their indefatiga-
bic curates, have come into town al
the head Of imposing cavalcades.-
Mr Carr Of Ross, has also appeared
with upward Of a thousand men and
women from that town. We per-
celved some highly respectable per-
sons among his group. The Court
house externally presents at this mo-
ment fearful sight. Crowds rush
up the steps despite the military and
police, whose conduct is exemplary
IN the highest degree. The doors
have been forced in and the hall is
thronged. The apostle is surrounded
by Alderman Poole, the Rev. Nico-.
las CantWell. P. P. Tramore, the Rev.
James Vale, P. P. Newton, the Revs.
Messrs. Dixon, Morissey, Fitzgerald,
~. Power, N. t. Dowley, ]. Clark,
I.Hetferman. Il is said that ten thou
sand persons have been already re-
Iceived; but they are not4nissed from
the myriads who await to take the
pledge. We regret that some of the
postulants appear to labor under the
effects of fatigue arising from the
circumstance of having travelled all
night through the rain. An instance
OF maglsterial petulance has occurred,
which we shall notice. Captain New.
port has called upon some of his bro
| Their magistrates to advise Mr. Mathew
to withdraw, as personal danger may
ensue. But the gallant captains re-
fmonstrances are not needed, for the
very good reason, that no danger is
yet seen by the most experienced
persons. "Talk of the victories Of
| the Duke Of Wellington," said Alder
man Poole, as he regarded the mighty
mass of human beings rapidly ap-
preaching to take the pledge; 'sthey
are nothing to those Of Mr. Mathew.
He has done more for the Irish peo-
pie than any man who has as yet APP
peared, or perhaps who ever will APP
pear in Ireland"
Two o'cLocK.-Crowds on crowds
continue to pour in, in apparently ex-
haustess abundance. 1t is computed
that the Rev. gentleman has received
twenty thousand at least since morn
ing. Each batch, amounting, on an
average, to ITO persons is disposed

ew, on being asked, was he not tired,
and would he not take some refresh

made an instrument in the hands Of
an all-wise and gracious Providence
for the achievement of such incalcula.
