!" No Popery"'-IAe Conreats.-Mr. New
degate, an enlightned Protestant member Of
Parliament. who has always signalized his
zeal against the benighted Papists, has at
last hit the happy time-just after the Co
ercion act had been passed-and carried his
resolution for an Investigating committee
into the horrors and mysteries of nunneries
and cOnyents.i The vote for the inqaisition
has been taken, with small majority for
the enlightned PrOtestants. A select COM
mittee Of the House of Commons to be ap-
pointed to inquire into "the existence,
character and increase of monastic and con-
ventual establishments in Great Britain,
and into the terms upon which the incomes,
property and estates belonging to those
bodies had been acquired or held" The
Government made q pretence of opposing
this motion, but they managed to let them
selves be defeated by a majority of two |!
There can be NO doubt that, by the exer-
else of ordinary diligence on the part of
their whips, this result could have been
avoided. As matters now stand, the close
ness of the division gives them an excuse
for saying that they were taken by surprise.
The cOnventual and monastic establish
ments have nothing to fear from honest in
L
tions, moved for, and in a great measure
conduc9ed by bigots, are meant to be in
sulting and ofensive.-Nation.
The Kerry Evening Post gives an inter-
esting obituary of a person named James
ONeiil, who bore the non, de plume of
" Jenny TwO-toes," and who died recently
in Tralee.' James first appearance in Ira
lee (he was then called Shaneen- an -oun,
Anglice ttJack Rivers" was about fifty years
age and he was then as full grown man
as he was when seen in Tralee last Satur-
day. He was born ON the banks of the
I" Gun More," in the Barony of Duhallow,
between Slieveloughera and
and Mallow. He was brought into Tralee
by Z" Jer Luoney" and lot of carmen,
coming with whiskey, who were then the
g luggage train of supply from Cork to
and thrown on the puncheon and
thus transmitted to Tralee. In early life
he wss a great rambler, and always prided
himself as having been q great favorite
with the fair sex, from ladies of rank to the
country milk-maid and the spruce servant
maid with tiny French coifa well-regula-
ted chignon. He even went so far as to tell
. story how some preacher in Mallow
drowned himself in the Blackwater from
pure jealousy of the f" Odonis 4" that he was.
He was free of the Rakes of Mallow" at
all times. At one period of his extraordi-
nary existence he made his way to Lord
O'Neill's, to Shane's Castle, the buried
ruins of which, on the shores of Tough
Neagh, he used to describe accurately, and
also many other places and towns in the
8 Black North )" and he even passed among
The Orangemen there, in the midst of their
on the first of July unframed.
He would, indeed, have been but poor
quarry for the banded "sons of Will
lam" In fact, by his own account,
Jenny "saw life" He was a pensioner of
many respectable people of Tralee, and
he did not want for the necessaries of life,
hough of the s'luxuries'' he was but a fru-
,al partaker. He was one of those to
whom fretting was an ingredient that he
ould not exist without.
