AN IRISH PArRIor.-The readers of the
Morning Courier will remembera very severe
and fiery piece of Irish invective which we
published sometime since from the Irish Feloa
over the signature THOMAS DEvIN REILLY. 1t
was addressedto the Lord Lieutenant of Ire
land, and saluted him as "my Lord assassin"
The wri ter of that terrible excoriation was
hunted by the avaricious police of Ireland with
all the perseverance, and activity of Sleuth-
hounds, but the noble game, the proud cham
pion of Nations rights, the uncompromising
enemy Of oppression, managed 10 escape all
the tolls that were thrown around him. He
has found a resting place among the free, and
may enjoy now all those faculties which God
has given him. The n. Y. Tribune says:
THOMAS DsyIN RIELLY-We understand
that this distinguished Irish patriot arrived
here OH Sunday evening. He is one of the
ablest writers Of the Nation. When his friend
Mitchell was transported, and the United
irishman wss suppressed, of which he was an
active supporter, John Martin started the Irish
Felon. Our readers will remember some of
the splendid articles from his pen which we
transferred 10 our columns from the Felon.-
We heartily congratulate him on his fortunate
escape from his pureuers aud trust he will
meet with eminent success here. In forcing
him to fly to our shores, England makes us a
richer present than If she had transferred us
The wealth and loyalty Of her throne. Wei
come, thrice welcome 10 the distinguished
martyr Of Liberty!
Most cordially and sincerely do we Join in
congratula,ing Mr.. REILLY on his unlocked for
escape British vengeance, and we are sure that
the public sentiment of this country is firm in
the faith that this emigrant from oppression is
worth all the Coubourgs that Englsnd feeds
We tender TO MIR. REILLY, our hearty congratu-
ations, and assure him that he will find many
warm friends and admirers out here in the
broad, free and glorious West.

STEAMBOAT RAcIsa.-The Louisville Cour-
Ter of Tuesday contains graphic description Of
a race between the steamers Telegraph, No. 2
and the Brilliant. The race was between
Cincinnati and Pittsburg. The Telegraph
proved TO be the fastest craft; beating her COM
petitor some thirty hours to Pittsburg. "Both
boats were advertised to start at 10 o'clock,
A. NJ, says the Courier, "but at 9 l-2 o'clock
the Brilliant shipped her cable, and started
out, "whistling" defiance at her rival. This
move rather took the "No. 2" by surprise, but
Capt Mason Immediately let loose, and fired
off his big gun, as much as to say, "Old fel
low, I'm after you with very sharp stick. y
Thousands of persons had assembled at the
wharf 10 witness the exciting scene, and each
boat on starting out was greeted with loud huz
zas. Now the tug of war had begun. Both
boats were moving off at rapid rate, cleaving
the bright waters in most gallant styh--tht
Brilliant being some two or three hundred
yards in advance. They were soon out o
sight, but the excitement at Cincinnati still
ragged, aud we were tcld that the excited look
ers-on piled up their dimes quite freely on thei
respective fayorites."

The State Educational Society is in session
here, endeavoring to perfect system of COM
mon schools to present to the Legislature. The
cefgF OF the different churches seem to have
the most if not all to say in the matter, and
from the little have heard of their debates
hardly think they will succeed in recommend
ing such system as will meet the appreciation
of the Legislature, or if it pass there, OF the
people. The citizens of Indiana will hardly
consent to a tax for common schools and have
their money apportioned out TO the different
churches TO teach sectarianism. my system
to succeed with the people must be liberal and
just to all, and must be removed from the in
fuence of church.

THI AsIAsrIc CHOLERA AT New YoRK.-Ws
Yours. &c.
THE EDITOR.

IHB AsIAsTIC CHOLERA AT NEW lORk.-We
copy the following from the MY. Express of the
9Th inst. No doubt the cholera will sweep
over our whole continent, andthe best thing
our countrymen can do is to make calm and de-
liberate preparations for it:
The Cholera Arrived on this Contincnt.-
On Friday morning, the packet ship New
York, Capt. Line, arrived. anchored in the
bay, nearly midway between Staten and Long
Island, having lost seven persons by death OF
Asastic cholera. When the ship left Havre,
the place, the crew, and passengers, were per-
fectly healthy, and the passengers continued
so until about fifteen days, when the sickness
took place in the steerage among the passen-
gers there. On Saturday several sick persons
were landed at the Quarantine, and on Sunday
morning two died of the disease. On Sunday,
all the steerage passengers, about two hundred
and fifty i'm number, were taken from the ship
OH board the steamboat Sampson to the u. S.
stores within the hospital wall and are all
housed i'm those buildings. There are still
several persons sick, and one is reported to
have died this morning
The cabin passengers have all come up 10
the city, aud SO has the steamboat Sampson,
that took out the passengers. Thus the com
munication between the infected ship nd the
city has been uninterrupted.
Some of the commissioners of emigration
went down TO the hospitals this morning 10
ascertain the facts.
The intercourse between the island and the
city is now constant and is as uninterrupted as
between Jersey city or Brooklyn.
The above is statement of facts as they
exist up to the present tine. In addition to
which several Of the physicians on the island
have examined the cases and pronounce the
disease similar TO that which prevailed here in
1882. 1t will be recolected that the seat o.
disease at that time was in the neighborhood
of the Five Points and that it disappeared
wholely in cold weather. Neither the heal
thy portions of the city. Long Island, nor Sta
ten Island were affected.
All the physicians on Staten island, the
health officer included. that have seen the pre-
sent cases, pronounce them of a mild character
and most of them have yielded readily to med
iCal treatment.

OyWe mentioneda few days since the
loss Of the steamer Marengo by coming in col
lision with the Harry Hill. The accident, i,
seems, from the following in the N. o. Delta,
was attended with serious loss OF life:
The connecting pipe OF the Marengo burst
killing several of her crew, and severely seal.
ding others. AS far as known, the killed are:
John McAllister, third engineer; John Fink.
a white boy; and negro, belonging to G. Eel
loves. The cook and five negroes, all fire
men. are badly scalded. J. Ross. second en-
gineer. was scalded, but not dangerously. The
negro Tom, belonging TO Mr.. Feathrrsion, is
missing. The Marengo was bound up. We
hear nothing as to the cause of the collision.
The Marengo was towed 10 the shore by the
Harry; Hill and after being made fast .sunkto the
boiler deck. None OF the passengers were in
jured. They and the wounded arrived here OF
the Convoy.
