IRELAND BECOMING Protestant Dub
lin correspondent of the New York Erangc-
list makes the statcment-which will sur
prise many-that fully one-haH of The pres
ent population of Ireland is Protestant Pre-
vious to ls47 the population was reckoned at
eight million. five of which were Roman
lists but the great mass of those who per-
ished in the famine, as well as those who
have emigrated, have been Catholics and
while, especially in the West, whole congre-
cations of converted Romanists are now scat
tered over the country, there are no CONVEX
sions from Professionalism. A gentleman sta
ted at public meeting in Cork, IA few weeks
since, that he knew of lorty-sercn congrega-
tions which had within the last nine years
repudidted the absolutism of the priests and
the mediation OF the saints, and are looking
to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation In
the Parish of Clifton, where II few years aro
the Protestant congregation consisted of only
six persons, it now numbers more than three
hundred, most of them converts from Ro-
manism. The northern part of Ireland the
province of Ulster. has been Protestant ever
| since the time of Cromwell, when it was
largely settled by Scotch Presbyterlans. The
passage by Parliament, seven or eight years
since, of the bill allowing estates to be sold ,
and cut up into farms Of moderate size, con-
| duced greatly to the material prosperity OF
the country, and even the dreariest parts of
| Connaught and Munster, where the Irish
were half-savagcs, are beginning to show
signs of improvement.

CORPSE HANGS A MAN.-Cincinnati is n
great place for startling grave yard scenes.
The following details of IA singular affair are
from Cincinnati paper 1t appears that II
person, whose name is not given us, entered
the burying ground at that place and removed
dead body from a grave, which he placed
in sack.-In making his exit from the yard 4,
it was necessary to scale II high board fence,
which the resurrectionist evidently found dii-
fculty in accomplishing with the burden with
which he was cncumbcrcd. In order, there
fore, to give him free use of his arms and
hands, he placed the cord attached to the
mouth of the sack around his shoulders. and
climbed to the top of the fence, when he must
have fallen off, leaving the corpse on the op-
posite side +! The result was that the cord was
drawn up around his neck, and he was found
dead the next morning, having been chokcd
to death by the weight of the corpse on the
opposite side Of the fence.

BosToN PUBLIC ScuooLs.-Serious dstur-
bances have occurred in some of the Boston
Public Schools within few days past. 1t
seems that it has been TOR years II regulation
prescribed by the School Committee, that a
portion Of Scripture shall be read every
morning by the school teachers, with recon-

alone, or chanted by the teacher and chill

sion close with appropriate singing; and al

In the Elliot School, at the North End,
all at once there appeared determined non

Considering how very slight difference
there is in either word or sentiment between
the Ten Commandments and the Lord
, Prayer, as given in the Common Version, and
in the Doway Version, authorized by the
Catholic Authorities, the interference Of the
priests looks quite as much like zeal for
exercising absolute authority, as zeal for
religion.

The HORSE SALE.-The sale of horses in
this village, which continued through last
week, was much larger, and the class for the
most part more valuable, than characterized
the sale in January. Mr.. Bush's purchases
we understand numbered eighty, and another
party brought twenty, making one hundred
Probably the average price paid is not less
than one hundred dollars, which would mako
ten thousand dollars paid out in one week for
horses in this county. We are informed that
the "Jennson horse" sold for $500; several
other horses brought from $3.50 to 5000.
The exhibition of horses on some days was
quite large, and our streets presented a STIR
ring and fine appearance. Mr.. Bush is evil

no inronsiderable amount of money into the

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

all being filed with attentive hearers. The
! prayer meetings continue to be crowded -
Daily prayer meetings are held on board of
six OF our national vessels, with the best pos
| sible results. remarkable feature Of the
revival is the number of conversions among
| aged men, inidcls. Jews, and Roman Cath
olics
At a recent prayer meeting in Boston two
or three noted spirit dealers gave notice Of
the abandonment Of their business, in conse-
quence Of their conversion An interesting
revival was reported on board the Ohio, at
the Navy Yard.
At the anniversary of Prayer for Colleges,
at Bowdoin College, it was stated that there
had been twenty-four conversions among the
students during the year ; the whole number
of pious students was eighty. 1t is within
the memory of many graduates when there
was but one pious student in the College.
At the stated meeting of Managers of the
Am. Bible Soc. held March Sd, the report
of the Committee on Versions was adopted,
restoring the editions of the New Testament
to the condition in which they were before
the action of the late Committee.
Rev. Mr.. Sturgeon has decided not to
visit the United States. But it is said letters
have been sent by influential clergymen urg-
ing him to alter his mind and it is now
thought probable that he will be here in
time to attend the Congregational Union on
the 18th of May.

How PIccoLoMINI WAS KISSED. We read
in the Cincinnati Inquirer During Picco-
lomini's late sojourn at the Spencer House,
in this city, the following incident occurred
through a mistake, as natural as it must
have been agreeable.
"a young gentleman, residing in the nor
thern part of this State, received u letter
last week from his sister, who had been at
tending school in Kentucky, stating that she
would be, on a certain day, ut the Spencer
House, where two friends of hers were going,
and she would look for him to arrive in good
season and accompany her home.
"The brother, Alfred, came at once, for
lie had not seen his sister for nearly two
years, having passed much of that time in
New York, and, on arriving at the hotel
asked for Miss -, and the number of her
room. Hoping to surprise her agreeably
he thought he would go up unannounced,
having learned the floor and the position oi
the apartment. just before he reached the
room he saw his sister, as he supposed, COM

he saw her last, and he thought he would
