HARTFORD, Nov. 30, 1854. ANNE MARSEL.
ne Hartford Conant of the Esd inst. has the
following reply to the letter OF Bishop O'feilly,
which We published yesterday
h win be seen that the giss OF the bishops ex
eRses arethat he is the proprietor Of the church
and grounds, that 1t was not proper place for
burial and tast he was not consulted by the movers
Il will be noticed that ne does not deny that the
grave was on Friday night filed up by his orders,
and it would be Of little consequence If he did, it
10 well known that the press from TIE bishops
hoOse did all In their power to prevent it's being re-
opened, aud actually gave the I" censure" OF the
church upon those engaged in doing 30.
IL will also be seen that the bishop says not
word about his refusing to have mass offered for the
deceased in the church, thus refusing him the
last rites Of fis religion in a church which his owe
exertions had raised, and among a people be had
ssrgymen announced distinctly that she bishop had
sent word that mass should not be so celebrated,
but" says ne, "by the help of God it sha.l be-"
and then some half dozen priests engaged in the
service, Dozen more being present-and this in
defiance of the bishops orders. IL reference to the
place Of burial it is collision between the people
md the priests, but In the mstter of saying it

course he will probably have cool time.
II win also be seen that the bishop offered Father
Brady another congregation. So then, i. was not
