OT MT. Lawrauce. during his recon! visit to Ireland remarked in the course ofan imprOmpfu speech at Galway" wouli teach every man, woman and child to read and wri.e--place the bible in their hands, and the people will take care oflhemselves.' '' This remark gave great offence to the Cstho- lies and some of Irish journals read Mir. Lawrence lecture for his indiscretion = The English journals take up the cudgeIs in his behalf. and the affair has elicted some animated comments. The London. Herald says: ..,#.rs.. ...
 ''rhe subject suggests matter for deep reflection, as there dres actually exist in Ireland faction that can find in wish such as Mr. Lawrence expressed an offence of such magnitude as 10 deserve the severcst reprehensions of the liberal press. What are we to Say of the tole
 rance of the faction that dares to threat en the hootings of beastly mob upon rhe Minister of the American nation be- cause he professed reverence for the Bi. ble What are we to hope for the na- lion in which sueh threats can be utter. ed without ruin yoAthe character and in- tlurnce of those who use them ?

IMPROVEMENT IN FIRE ARMs.-The National Intelligencer publishes sr ac. coun: of an important improvement in the manner of priming fire arms, which appears 10 be asgreater advance upon the current practice than was made by the introduction of percussion caps.- The invention has received a trial in the us. Army. and has been approved for military service a
 The patent was sigranted to Dr.. E. May. nard. of Washington as inventor, and has since been purchased by Govern ment for the use of the army. A des- cription of the invention has not yet been published. but it is very simple :: it chan ges neither the model. weight, or action of the gun. and is applicable to any kind of fire arms. The act of priming is per- formed by the gun itself, in consequence of which the increase in the rapiditT of firing is very great-amounting to twenty five or thirty per cent, and in some eases much more.

 This work. our notice of which has been delayed too loEg. is the fourth in a series by its Authors. of which ths Psalmista Choralist and Mendelssohn Collections have already given very favorable im> pression. The music of H. E B. has a large class of admirers, who will be glad to find in this new volume many of the choicer pieces retained which have en- riched their preceding books. The new music in this pt blicstion although some- what less attractive than that in the Psalmodist, or the Mendelssohn, offers many desirable and excellent things.
 As whole, the work maintains the high reputation of its gifted authors. and may be warmly commended to those who would in a single volume possess their most valuable contributions to Sacred Music.

InrsH CorrAoEy AND Is1sH POVERTY.

IRrsH COTTAGES AND IRIsH POVERTY. The following description of an Irsh cottage and the scene around it. is taken from letter of Dr.. Baird's. in the Christian Union
 I never had a proper idea of the cottages of the poor Irish until l made this tour, They are generally small, often consisting of only one room. = They are made of stone or brick. low and covered with thatch or straw very thick, with stone floor, or what is more common. one of earth and sand, hard beaten or pounded. Almost invariably the poor people. even aged females and children, were barefooted! And in Con. naught. the great western province. there was an amount of poverty that was dis tiessing beyond measure. l never saw so many people, men. women and chil dren, that were covered with rags, as 1T that part Ireland. The ground around their poor cottages was often covered with mud, or was place forming ma. nure for their few acres :--a COW or pig. sometimes botl--being about tbe door never knew before, confessed it, what poverty really was The beggars were very numerous, and of all ages and oi both sexes. It was really distressing to travel through that part of Ireland. And what must it have been during famine ir ls4s and two or three succeeding years A great many people were passing .hei time in idIenesa. literally because nt man had hired them.
