Father Brady during the last days Of his life. and
the orders which he, 0 Kelley, dispatched from o.
whence, fcrbiddipg the use q the church at Mr..
Bradys funeral, aud directing that hs body should

The faithful pastor Who had labosed among his
charge for IL long years-who bad bean with them
In sicknefs and want-who had instructed them

free to express their sentiments.
On slight pretexts the Bishop bad silenced Mr..
Brady a. . pastor. Then upon Sunday last, (the
Bishop scuding OF to Providence the edic. was
made public that Father Bradys connection with
faithfully, was forever severed. In rugged health
previously, this summary and arbitrary course to

time be was among the dead; and Others lazer less
the great success Of his least one other.
May he in conscience. IL he can, have . good time.
On erecting the rev cathedral, the work Of his
own hands, Father B. ady placed tagging stone ia
front of the church, a. the spo where his body
should rest in death. In his dying hour, as last
request to those who respected auc loveo him he
repeated the desire Of his heart that his body snoad
rest in that spot.
The earth was removed and the tomb prepared
the day following his death. But last Friday svsa
ing despatch was received from the Bisho) that
the body Of Mr. Brady must not be placed there.
and that the cbur must not BIZ opened for his fu-
neral services ss had been arranged The tomb
was at once FILE up. But the people the masses
Of our Catholic population, who are men and NO
men who have rights aud the ability ~ ma;ntao
them, were rous ut this grossly insulting aud an
just edict Of the Bishop Ssalworth men were set TO
work, and the tomb was reopened. Nasons @-re
employed, ard solid store walls in cement were
laid. The church was opened. The body was
brought in among crowded and Eorrowful au

rules which dictated 1.-THE rites of the church
were forbidden, aud the good pastor was TO be
buried like dog, in disgrace. without the be-
neft of clergy"
The Rev. Mr.. Brady, Of Middle.o *n. nephew of
the dect ased rose with heart full Of s,rrow and
announced that the altar was closed, aud that the
pastor denied funeral ceremonies ia the church
that he bad buili HsreNro wall aud lsmen-
tatOn, loud and long, which would have sun (
into any bishops heart that was not harder than
granite. a..
It. was soon announced, however, that access bad
been lad to the candles the holy waser, vestmsEts,
&c, and that high mass would be said--and it was
sad thtre in that church, In defiance of the bishop
and hts orders. It was glorious triumph Of the
people and Of right, over tyranny rs damnsble
as sin. Maf
