rIITCHELL,s ELOaUENCE.

Some idea of the passionate and burning
speech of John Mitchell, the Irish exile, at his
reception in San Francisco, may be gathered
from the following extract
81 was freer man in the Burmuda hulk
than the unhappy Irishmen who saunter and
shipper in the Dublin Crystal Palace, and make
believe that they are loyal citizens and members
of society, Their souls dwell in hulk. From
the brown shades of the Tesmanian wood, had
a clearer view of the great transactions and des-
TIMES of mankind than they in the centre OF
their vicious civilization, and aminst the crush
ing race of hungry candidates for teo thousand
oaices-which are England's bribes and the dev-
lis. Therefore, you will see it is not IN igno'
rance OF fogetfulness of what has been passing
these late years, that dare again to utter the
creed of Irish nationahty-that | hail your
sympathy with Irish rebellion. There are IRISH
men here to-night-do you, my countrymen, tell
me that our cause is lost forever! ls the hlsto-
~ of ireland over thenl Do you tell me to go
back to my island dungeon, and disturb no more

Crystal Palace progress of the species Forgive
me the question, my countrymen Do not our
hearts leap at the very thought of the next Eu-
ropean convulsions Do they not burn within
us when we think of all that peace and order,
as tyrants call che chained quiescence of slaves,
how it will be shiyered to atoms ON some early
day--a day to be called a white day forever
with a crush that shall shake the pillars of the
globe and how thrones and principalities will
totter and rush down into chaos before the stormy

MAN.-In a recent discourse, by Henry Ward
Beecher, we find the following eloquent passage:
Within the range of human ken, there is
nothing that God has done 20 grandly as Man.
1t was His last and His best work The heaven
and the earth, the waters and the mountains,
the armament and armies of clouds, are insig-
nifcant matters in comparison with the meanest
Hottentot that ever stupidity gazed upon them
All the force of Gods heavenly army, the bright
procession of glittering stars, wheeling in space,
and moving in silence along their appointed
ways, upon paths which none can see, but from
which, through ages, they never wander nor
stumble therein; the pomp of this stellar host,
hammered with light, is transcendant. But
every globe is but huge deadness. They neith
er think nor choose, nor joy nor sorrow pulse
less, passionless, they swing through the circuits
struck by the hand of God, for the same reason
that the shuttle darts, or the ball from the un
conscious bat, or the shuttle-cock between TIVE
battledores. But, within the meanest man
there lives a nature on which all eternity ma.
work without fully developing it. The intel
lect, the soul, the safection-they are somethin,
of God. All the universe is but their cradle
and these elements in their lowest state, in thei
rudest life, are yet in value beyond all the ia
bric OF the earth"

A REMARKABLE sr9RY.

One night while Sir Even Napel N was under
fsecretary to tlle home department, ho felt the

imagined he was in perfect health, had dined
early, and had nothing whatever on his mind to
keep him awake. Still he found sleep impossi.
ble and from eleven till two he never closed an
eye At length weary of this struggle and as
the twilight was breaking (it was summer he
determined to try what would be the effect of a
walk in the park. There was nothing but the
sleepy sentinels. But, in his walk, happening
to pass the home Office several times, he thought
OF letting himself in with his key, though
without any particular object. The book of
entries OF the day before still lay on the table,
and through listlessness he opened it. The first
thing he saw appalled, him." A reprieve to be
sent to York for the coiners ordered for execu-
ton" The execution had been appointed for
the next day. 1t struck him that he had re.
celved no return to his order to send the repreve.
lie searched the " minutes "-he could not find

Sir Evan; " recollect yourself, it must have been

an invisible God and some as visible. They
further told me that they do not suffer foreign
ers to come among them, except the Chinese
with whom they cultivate peace; because the
Chinese emperor is from their country and
also that they are 50 populous, that they do not
believe any country in the whole world to be
moro populous; which also is credible, from the
wall of so many miles, which the Chinese
formerly built for their protection against in

fortune to predict and to describe discoveries
that have since taken place. Many very re-
markable circumstances are narrated of him on
what appears to be sufficient authority, which
go to show that he had more insight into all
kinds of subjects than any other man. His
dlsclpllnes are not very numerous, but they cling
to their belief in all that he has written with

THE LOVERS WELL.

To me the most interesting part of the old
ruins was the Lovers Well, sunk through the
solid rock, 456 feet--and that, too, by the force
of true love. But must tell the tale as Medny-
ansky has recorded it.
1t was in the reign of Matthias Corvinus, that
Trentsin was in the possession of Stephen Zapoy-
la, powerful chief, who added much to the
! strength and magnifcence of the noble pile.
Like many other castles, however, placed on
the summit of rocks, Trentsin paid dearly for
the advantages of it situation, by having no
supply of water but what was afforded by cis-
terms, evidently insufficient to enable large
garrison to stand long seige. 10 Zapoyla this
deficiency in his favoritc castle was a source
of deep disappointment; nor had any one
been able to propose an eAectual remedy for it
i Musing one day on this modification, as he
saw his new work nearly completed he wal
aroused by the announcement of his attendants
that o Turkish merchant had arrived, who wished
to treat with him for the ransom of some pris
oners, whom he had captured in the last war
and brought home with him in slavery. As {
soldier, alive to the courtesies of war Zapoyla a
J once expressed his willingness to take ransom
for all of those who still remained in his hands

LORD BYRoN's OPINION OF THE TuRKs.-In all
money transactions. with the Moslems, ever
found the strictest honor, the highest disinter-
estedness. In trahsacting business with them,
there are none of those dirty speculations under
the name of interests, difference of exchange,
commission, &c., uniformly found on applying
to Greek Consul to cash bills, even on the first
houses in Peru. In the Capital and at court,
the citizens and courtiers are formed in the
same school with those of Christianity; but
there does not exist more honorable, friendly
high-spirited character than the true Turkish
provincial Aga, Or Moslem country gentleman.
The lower orders are in as tolerable discipline
as the rabble in countries with greater preten-
sions to civilization. A Moslem in walking the
streets of our country towns would be more
incommoded in England than a Frank in a
similar situation in Turkey.
The Ottomans, with all their defects, are not
people to be despised. Equal, at least, to the
Smniards, they are superior to the Portuguese.
If it be difficult to say what they are, we can
at least say what they are not; they are not
treacherous, they are not cowardly, they do
not burn heretics, they are not assassins, nor
has an enemy advanced to their capital. They
are faithful to their Sultan till he becomes unfit
to govern, and devout to their God without an
inquisition Were they driven from st. Sophia
tomorrow, and the French or Russians en-
throned in their stead, it would become a ques-
ton whether Europe wonld gain by the ex-
change; England would certainly be the loser,
With regard to that ignorance Of which they
are SO generally, and sometimes justly accused,
it may be doubted, always excepting France,
and England, in what useful points they are
excelled by any other nation, Is it in the COM
mon arts of lifel In their manufactures Isa
Turkish sabre inferior to a Toledoa or is Turk
worse clothed and lodged or fed and taught,
than Spaniardl Are their Pachas worse edu-
Gated than d Grandeel Or an Efendi than a
Knight of St. Jago l think not.

bloated appearance which he wore more than

cred he begins to stoop, and when he walks,

THE JEsUIT'S CODE,

Archbishop Huges, Bishop Kenrick, the
Shepherd Of The Valley in st. Louis, the Friend
Of Truth in Cincinnati, and the Church Gazette
IN New York, have SO frequently exposed the
schemes OF Jesuits, as not to leave the greatest
skeptlc in the dark concerning them any longer
tIhe following is an extract we have made from
the different writings or observations of the
above named dignitaries, and we offer it as the
/ platform on which American Jesuitism stands.
All the items of it have actually been advoca-
ted and advanced by the above named organs
or priests:
l. The Republic is an abomination. (Ac-
cording to the Friend Of Trmh.)
2. All the Catholic Church property has to
be transferred and decided to the Bishops and
Archbishops. (According to Archbishop Hughes,
and the bill of the Jesuits, before the Logisla-
ture of New York;
8. All Churches property must be free from
taxation. (According to the Friend Of Ttuth.)
a. Church apparatus, utensils, chasubles, &C.,
have to be imported free of duty. according
to a bill q in the last Congress.)
5. The Free School Fund must be kept sepa-
rate, and distributed among the different sects.
according to the Catholic Telegraph, Arch
bishop Purcell, the Friend Of Truth, and the
Church Ga.ette.)
g. Too much knowledge is pernicious All
crimes have their origin in too great informa-
ton; therefore science must be abolished, or at
least, confined to certain classes. The people
at large can no longer be allowed to learn any
thing more than reading, writing, little cy-
phering and religion. Moreover, it is not neces-
sary that all men should learn to read. More
knowledge of religion is much more salutary
to them. Much reading is only attended by un-
belief. according to the Shepherd Of the VAL
Ly.)
7.sLiberty of conscience must be abolished,
Catholicism made the prevailing Church. All
gossip about liberty of conscience and tolera-
ton is nonsense according to Bishop Ken
rick, &c.)
8. The Free School are institutions of the
devil, and must be re-modelled in the Catholic
spirit. (The whole priestcraft.)
9. For the carrying out of this platform a
Catholic party is to be formed. (lhe Friend Of
Truth.)
| This is what the Jesuits want They have
often said it, nor do they deny having said it
1t is therefore necessary to use energetic meas
ures against them!-Budget.
