FATHER MATHEW INVOLVED IN DIFFICULTIES
A public subscription has been commenced tor
the relief of Father Mathew, the apostle OF tenn
perance, who, by his loerality in support Of the
cause, has involved himself in great and ruinous
pecuniary difficulties. Lord Cloncuny has con-
uibuted ESQ. 1t appears from paragraph in
the Cork Examiner, that the Rev. Mr.. Mathew
has actually been arrested for debt. His debts
are said to amount to $4,000. The money now
collecting will speedily exceed this sum, and leave
the philanthropic ffiar something on hand
AGRICULTURAL LADoREks-Small allotments
of ground for the agricultural laborers are among
the most popular remedies now broached for the
social ills OF that class Of society. Some DIVER

7 REPEAL Assoc1ArIsN-A. the weekly meeting
of this Association, On the 2lst ult. letter was
read from MIR. Henry Grattan, advocating IN
creased exertion in the establishment of Repeal
yead.ng.rooms throughout the country.
Mr.. Maurice O'Coanel observed that he had
to present the Association with proof that the
causeof Repeal was making considerable pro-
press among their sturdy countrymen, the Pres
byterians of the North. The honorable gentle
man then handed in several contributions from
the North. The Hon. Mr.. Hutchinson said that,
from the information he had been able to ootaln,
he could fully bear out the observations OF MIR.
O'Connell with regard to tho spread OF Repeal
principles in the North OF Ireland.
Mr.. Cavan Duffy, editer of the Nation, has
addressed letter to Mr.. O'Connell, deplecatiog
his adoption of Federalism. Whether better or
worse, Repeal is different thing from Federal
ism; and Mr.. Duffy thinks it essentially
worse thing" In the fist place, the Imperial
representation on which it is based is calculated
TO psrpetuate a moral and Intellectual subsection
to England. 1t will teach the aristocracy stiiio
turn their eyes to London as the scene of their
ambition. 1t will continue to train themin Eng
lish manness, feelings. and p.ejudices, and to
establish permanently centre oil acton apart
from their native county. BY the same process,
it will plant deeper the physical evil of ass'n
ism, 1t will compel cur Lords and Commonsto
reside out OF the country, and continue the dram
uoon our resources, ON which you found so strong
an argument for repeal. In this respect, think
it a worse cure for absentceisu than Or. Maun-
sell's tee otum Parliament Mir. DutfyIearnesty
houcs that MIR. O'Connell does not mean u pro.
pose the adoption of Federalism by the Repeal
Association and he suggests thatto doso would
be breach of faith towards those members who
have Joined tho Association as Repea'e.s.
MIR. O'Conncll has addressed letter rom
Dcrrynane Abbey to the Acting Secretary OF the
Repsal Association, calling attention to "a most
important a1lislo which appeared in journal
once devoted 10 Orangeism, and still highly Fro
testant tho WGrdca of the 18th OF Octobsr."-

quoted as specimen:
