For some time past recruiting for the Irish
Brigade destined to Rome las been vigorous
" going on IN Ireland, and s still. Ths
severe structures Of the London Times does
not arreAt the enllslments IN the provinces,
as appears by recent accounts. At Thurles,
June 18th, a corps of seventy athletic young
men left for Italy, and more than a thousand
persons visited the railway station to see
them Off Forty young men from Ballin-
gany and Killenaule left on the next train to
join their comrades for Italy in Dublin
Twenty-Five left Clonmel on the 18th for the
same destination. One hundred left Upper
airy June 18th for Rome, and a considerable
Roman emigration left KnmAlloch June l4th.
These are but specimens Of the way the Irish
Brigade in Rome is filling up. Ia8.lll
The German journal of Frankfort states

francs towards the Papal loan, or about one

The Catholic Church in This country has

fund, and SIG, 900 it is stated have been for

Archbishop Hughes, Of New York, preached
4 begging sermon for the Pope in the Cathe-
dral last Sunday, which is severely criticized
BY the N. Y. Times and N. Y, Herald. The
Herald publishes the discourse of the Arch
bishop, and thus closes a commentary upon
it:
There is food for reflection by every Catho-
lie mind in tho statement Of the Archbishop,
Con the faith of prelate right from Rome,
that this suocor cannot come too soon for the
Pope, as if things go on as they now are for
any prolonged period, he will not have the
means to supply the wants Of his own house
bold. He tells us in the opening Of his dis
course that the reformation never attacked
the political sovereignty of the Pope, and ev-
cry reader knows that the distress Of the Pa
pacy to-day comes not from Protestants, but
from the most Catholic children ofthe church.
Catholic Austria, with her hated tyranny,
has been driven from Italy by Catholic
France, sustaining the aspirations of Catholic
Italy, and even Most Catholic Spain now for
mally denies all sympathy to Bomba of Ma
pies, and his birds of feather in the Roman
hierarchy b
One more word, and We have done with
the Archbishop's discourse There is a
strong touch of the hierarchy, of the spirit
Of Cardinal Antonelli, in the manner in
which he calls upon the faithful to come to
the pecupiary succor or the Pope. He in
vites "the Catholics of this diooess, clergy
and laity, including women and children, I"
to subscribe an address OF sympathy to be
sent to the Holy Father, and he hopes that
all will have sufficient filial reverence for
the head of the church, Catholic zeal and
Christian feeling, to sign this address; but no
name will beFeOeiVed Withouta tangible proof
Of sympathy in the shapeof money, But for
what purpose does he want this money! Is
it to suecOr the Pope, oppressed BY bad men
and usurpiDg monarehs2 or is i to purchase
bayon6ts and sabges with which to murder
the Catholic sons Of Italy, who have risen
against worldly, ruthless ana impinHs hier-
archy, which now appeals to the highest and
holiest feelings of cur nature to aid them in
sustaining their misused. selfish and corrupt
temporal poWeF2 In a holy cause the Pope
would only need to raise his voice within the
walls of ST. Peters at Rome, and millions
would flow into his treasury; but when it is,
as it is now, to oppress and degrade our
Catholic brethren in Italy, that an appeal is
thus made to distant and deceived churches,
We hope the hat win return to the Arch
bishop as empty as when he sent it forth
among the faithful. .
