1t is a we'll authenticated fact, that according
to the last census the population of Ireland has
decreased nearly three millions. And what is
still more heartrending, is the indisputable fac
that this decrease has not been the effect of neg
ligence upon the part of the IRISH people to per
form their duty. On the contrary, people
they have been continually endeavoring by eve
ry artifce and noble impulse of the Irish charac
ter, to procure the independence of their coun
try and free her people from an unjust and inhu
man bondage These direful famines, and thi:
unparalleled decrease, have alike been the fru
purely of British legislation and the grasp of ty
ranny with which the government would seek
to enslave not only the purses but the affections
of the Irish people. England, by her barbarous
and inhuman laws and taxation, has cut shor
the resources, nentralized the efforts and etteree
the ambition of Erins sons. The Irish people
as body have actually been rendered unable tt
obtain livelihood by the sweat Of their brows
The products of their daily labor has gone t.
support some rotteu prestcraft and to further thu
damnable designs of government whose pride

IRELAND AND THE EccLEEIAsTIcAL LAW
The recent passage by the British Parliament
of the C Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, has aroused
a regular tornado of indignation among the Irish
people. 1t is an Indignation sanctioned by every
we'll settl, d principle of justice and religious
freedom.
This law prohibits the dignitaries of the Ca
tholic Church from assuming any title apper-
tanning to their stations. There have been
numerous and well attended meetings convened
iE different parts of Ireland. 70 express the just
Indignation of the people at this bold and reck-
less attack upon their liberties. A federation
League is about to be formed, for the repeal of
all religious tests and prohibitions now on the
statute books of the United Kingdom
There is no doubt but this party will unite ar
influence which will absolutely force the speedy
repeal of the law, and every true friend to free
-a,oss1 say, -God- -speed-the- time und tft

IRISH ITEMS,

The following items of Irish intelligence we
clip from. the Boston Pilot, a staunch and ac-
curate chronicle of Irish events.
We have placed under the appropriate head
ings all the news of interest from Ireland by
the late arrivals. The Dublin Freeman says
" The great Catholic meeting will be held
in Dublin on the 10Th, and will be followed on
the Goth by another meeting, only second to it
in irnporancc-a meeting intended to harmon
ize the views Of Mr.. Sherman Crawford, the
recognised leader of the tenant party in the
House, and Of the Council of League, the
leacers of The tenant party out of the
House. The great Catholic meeting will we
, understand, be attended by large number
the prelates Of the Irish church, and we have
no doubt but they will be surrounded and sus-
tanned by the best men of the Catholic party
from all 4uarters Of the country, even the most
remote. The struggle which the Catholics
have now been forced TO enter upon is not one
involving ecclesiastical ttles-the false issue ta-
ken by the enemies Of Ca'holcly--but one in
volvng the existence of Catholicity itself, and
as snch must the Catholics enter UPON the con-
test
The Freeman further remarks upon the re-.
turn Of Lord Arundel -
I" The recently elected member for Limerick
city, has already taken his seat in the British
House of commons-now as the represen-
tative of an Irish Catholic constituency
to do battle in the cause of religious liberty.
His lordshps posi- ion-we may say at the hs ad
of the Catholic aristocracy of Engand-was of
great advantage hitherto to the Catholic cause,
crippled though he was representive of an
English borough, and controlled by other inAu
ences to which we do not deem it well 10 refer.
He has now entered the House of Commons
free to take whatever course may seem most
advisable for the advancement Of the great OBJ
ject which he mas most at heart and not alone
free to strive, but sustained in his vigorous
course by the patriotic and disnteresed men of
Limerick who have contided to him their repre-
sentation.''
INGENIOUS MAcHINE.-Mr. William Delany,
of Jerpoint, Kilkenny, miller in humble cir
cunstances, has invented an extremely curious
and Interesting machine, which is calculated to
excite considerable public attention, and perhaps
lead to important results in the military world.
Ii is most original piece Of ordnance. consist
ing of six barrels disposed in the form of wheel,
which revolvc upoE an axle, and arc loaded,
primed, levelled at an object, and discharged
without the lapse of moment be-
tween. that the fire upon any point may be
perpetually kept up without the slightest loss Of
time. The model, which we have had great
pleasure in examining, is beautifully contrived
and put together, and the machinery is perhaps
as ingenious in its conception We have ever
seen.

Clayton County DiSgings.

These new diggings are exciting considerable
interest in our community. We had the pleas
ure of conversation, yesterday, with Judge
Dyer, who has just returned from visit to the
diggings. He informs us that there are from one
to two hundred miners theFc-that the land for
many miles around is entered up--a number of
cabins in process of erection-a store erected
and preparations making for putting up fur
mace. Three leads have been discovered at
this placc-one of which was discovered by
Stephens s. Co., and sold few days since to
McGregor & Co, for between five and six
thousand dollars. The depth Of the shaft in
the .'cGregor lead is about p feet, and an eyi
dence of the richness Of the lead, over sixty
thousand pounds ofore were obtained in drifting
some fourteen feet. The discovery is upon
what is called Painter creek, from which the
diggins will probably take their name "Pain-
ter Creek" certainly bids fair to make place of
some Importance.

The Railroad.
writer in the Herald who signs himself
A Farmer, recommends that the county OF
Dubuque should take $50 ,0G0 or $75 900 stock
in our Western Railroad, and urges some very
good reasons for it. Surely an enterprise which
will do so much to increase the value of proper.
ty, ought to be adopted by all. There could be
little no risk to the county in subscribing fol
$75 GOO worth Of stock. 1t could issue its
bonds, payable years hence, for the
amount, which the Directors could negotiate
all at once, to give present capital to urge on
the work; or the county might pay in its install
ments other subscribers do. 1t would have
its stock on hand, which could be held, or il
could be sold hereafter, perhaps, at an advance
to refund the amount subscribed, (and if gran,
of land should be obtained, it would be very
pretty speculation y or in case Of the grant, il
would not be necessary for the county to con.
tinue the operation, the Company would moi
need the aid. The object of subscribing nOac as
a county, would be to give additional capital and
confidence to the Company at its most trying
time, VIZ: the starting period If the county
should do this, then the Directors could go on
and borrow means without any fear or hesita-
ton, to carry out the plan proposed recently in
one of the papers by Judge Lowell, the Agent
of the Company.
Iwouid suggest, then, that petition be drawn
up and circulated for signatures, and presented
to the County Judge Immediately. requesting
him to submit the question, soon as possible,
to a vote of the people of the county, as to
whether the county shall subscribe or not
