The steamer Caledonia arrived at Boston
on Saturday, the 7th, seventeen days from
Liverpool. 1t brings nothing of interest.
We extract tho following items:
There has been two or three defections
from Oxford to Rome. VIII CD has created a
| considerable sensation in the religious world.
The parties were church of England clergy
men.
SO MANY vessels from all parts of The
world, lately arrived in the Thames, that it

custom house officers, and several were SO
fortunate as to be without for few DAYS.
1t is rumored that an endeayor will be made
during the next session, by the agricultu-
rsts, TO get clear of the malt tax. Meetings
nave been held on the subject.
The Repeal movement 10 Ire land is
much as usua.-not very brisk, but by no
means extinguished, Federalism has proved
failure. O'Connsll, after coquet,ing
with it for while, and declaring his pref
GRANGE for it over "simple repeal" now
abandons il/ as soon as he sees it is not like
ly TO take, and says it is much better to
limit our exer,ions to Repeal only!"-
O'Connell also again counsels the iorma-
ton of the Preservative Society" OF three
hundred 60 act as sort of Irish House of
Lords) if ii can be legally arranged"
think this same Preservatlve Society,"
is likely to prove failure; for each Of the
three hundi cd members has to pay down
fl00 rs a preliminary step, and people do
not like TO pay GiOO fer the chance Of get
ting into the scrape. O'Connell forwards
these suggestions from Derrynane, (where
he is huntingl in long letters to My dear
Ray" in Dublin. They are written for
publication. AT the last meeting Of the as
ISOLATION, however, Mr.. Ray, thought
proper to read "privale" letter. There
was no harm in t-not a bt-and was
gratifying as showing O'Connell in good
health and spirits, only it does help to a
peep behind the scenes better than the big
bow-wow' public epistles. The 'Liberator'
ays:-"We had glorious hunting on
Thursday the 9Th, and to-day. Nothing
could be more SPLENDID; the weather fine,
the scent lying. and the cry magnificent
and continuous from the start TO the death"
Parts Of Ireland are in an unsatisfactory
state. AS regards the commission Of crime,
no less than eight separate murders, accom-
panied by circumstances Of great atroclty,
having been lately commtted-principally
in Tipperary. They were Irishmen muir
dered by Irishmen; and it is supposed, in
some cases, by members ofths secret RIB
and Societies." II ranks promine ltly among
O'Conncll's good deeds that he has always
and by every means, sought TO discounte-
nance Rbandism, with its ferocious code
but in order to show how disingenious and
unfair are many of the charges against
''the Senor," it may be stated that It a late
Repeal meeting il was announced that a
portion of the funds to feed these societies
% came like all other plaques, from Eng
land" Now these funds come from Irish
men in England, the same as repeal rents
come from lrshmen in America. The En-
glsh people neither know nor care anything
about the matter.
