THE CATHOLICS IN IRELAND.

THE CATHOLICS IN IRELAND.
LONDON Aug. %, 1851
The great event since the sailing oil the Atlantic on
the goth, has been the aggregate meeting OF Roman
isis in Dublin and the organization of the Catholic
Defence Association The principal avowed object OF
the meeting was 1ne that happily would neither be to-
lerated nor heard OF in England or America, amely
to announce the intention OF the Catholic pre ates to
persist in breaking the recent law against their adoption
OF territorial titles In Great Britain or the United
States no bodyof men could hope for popular support
under such circumstances, SINCE the case win
the fugitive slave BILL the cry would be "aeitae Tor
repeal of the law if it be deemed Ubiquitous, but SO
long as it is law, lett be obeyed,"
AT the Dublin meeting, on the contrary, every pre-
late announced with the forbidden lille, ana thfee
cheers were specially given on each occasion 10 ceie
| brate the fact. DIR. Cullen, Archbishop OF Armagh
and Prmate of Ireand took the chair, and the attend
| ance of course was enormous. Attic same time all
the proceedings Characteristic There. was the
usual reference to the suftengs OF tine poor country
| and to the compassion with which she was viewed
by all nations except Enga land during her time OF ac-
tlon but not word said as to the ncurabe diss-
patton OF Irish landlords or the mproydence OF Irish
peasants for which under providence the potato blight
was the only cure, the f0 900 900 sterling which
England had unhesitatingy lavshed for its relief But
apart from the old complaints, the grand theme OF the
meeting "civil and religious liberty" for which 1t
was asserted Roman Catholics OF all races were now
prepared to unite.
Whether the Union is to combine honorary members
from Rome, Austria and Naples, was not mentioned;
nor was there any specification OF the mode IN winch
the religious liberty and the rights OF conscience OF no
man Catholics have been inerfered with by the recent
law Auson also avoided to the act that mat
law nothing more than protection which even IN
Roman Catholic countries, where there has been the
slightest shadow OF Independence, has always been re-
sorted to agains the entertainments OF the Pope The
object of the meeting plainly was to pat an end to the
peace and material progress at present reignng 10 Ire
land, and bring her into That struggle between no.
| manism and Professionalism now falrly commenced
throughout the world, and in which, as was pointed
out in correspondence at the time, constituted the
| real flame OF the volcanoes OF 1913.
What steps the Government will take, is point at
| present wholly unknown, but there is no mistake
about the temper OF the people OF this country gener-
ally, and the aeitators must be well that, while
| they have proclaimed religious war that will open
whatever uncured may still aiic the Irish
popoulaon, the possibility of any practical success in
their proiessed aim is just as visionary as in the case
OF the "RepeaP' cry. The movement Is looked upon
part ofthe concerted scheme for extending priest
y power which il now triumphant on the continent,
and its only effect will be to increase the growing
sympathy for its victims observable among all class
es. The outbreaks in 1913 were never understood
| here The adroit cry that it contest between
| order and anarchy at best between monarchicai
and democratic principles, answered its purpose and
etectually blinded our shopkeepers and capitalists to
its real nature. A more correct apprehension is now
entertained, and when the waves again rise it will be
impossible to spread similar Misrepresentation, for
public press TO comfort and encourage the absolu
fists by abusing Lord Palmerston, or regren the
wuiness that has 'isolated" US from their connex-
ion.
THE YACHT AMERICA.
By the present packet You will doubtless receive
OF the race to-day, of the Isle Of Wight, between the
America ard the yachts of the Royal Club, about the
result OF which, although shall not hear it before
posttime, there appears doubt 1t is now announ-
ced moreover that ths alleged unfarness of challeng
ing yachts when for racIEg purposes we build only
cutters) has been removed by challenge from the
America TO against yachts cutters indifferenty
and which challenge extended from the 9th to the 18th
August, but was not accepted. To day, however, it
appears that iron schooner yacht, named the Tlta
MIA, built by Messrs. Robinson aud Russell, of Lon
don, and belonging Mr. Robert Stephenson the en-
gneer and member OF Parliament for Whitby has been
backed by her owner for Gi00 for race Of 90 miles
out and return race of the same distance. The T,a
MIA is fine vessel but those who know her and tmre
her doubt the success OF her competition with the Ame-
RIGA. The day of the is not yet named.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
There is nothing from France. Prosecutions of
the press, and of individuals, for offences against the
of order, continue. Austria remains hampered
by the degradation OF her credit and has not yet
uted to issue the contemplated lean of $4,000 600
She finds that she only do it at humating price.
The hberanon of Kossuth is positively expected
month and the abuse which the Vienna journals under
the direction of the Government heap upon England
and Lord Pameiston, is consequently unmeasured.-
An interruption OF diplomatic relations between Aus
tria and Turkey is limited at as probable result
The King OF Naples is preparing for more atrocities
in Sicily, where new nsurrecton is supposed to be
imminent, and the Pope and Cardinals working
hard to get rid of the French and to substitute Austrian
protectors before May. In Sardinia there are ru
mors of ntrgues in favor of an abandonment of the
constitutional policy but their success is in no way con-
firmed by evidence. The Papal party, however, are
doubtless moving every engine to her join
suicidal league, from which she is at present the only
exception.
MONEY MARKETS, &c.
The funds continue firm, and the money market is
without alteration although there is full demand at
existing prices. Confidence is revving Liverpool
and Manchester and the foreign exchanges continue
to show favorable tendency. Brilliant harvest wealth
er is producing great weakn in the grain Market
The temperature of the present month has been above
the average of the last five years. SPECTATOR.
