Tho Most Rep. Dr.. lPousrs-rAnother of
the children Of /" the Land Of the West"
goes forth from home and kindred to bear
the good tidings to distant lAnds. - An emf
nent Irishman, tbe Most Rev. DE-. Mulock,
had ruled for years over the diocese Of St.
Johns, Newfoundland, and when the Lord
had called him to his reward, Plus the
Ninth resolved that his successor should
be chosen from the priesthood Of the Island
of Saints. The venerated president of the
College of Conliffe was the person chosen
to NIL the vacant see, and in few days
more the Most Rev. DR.. Power will set out
for the new sphere of his future mission
airy laboss. His lordship was not unknown
in Dublin. He had been for years Jealous
curate in the cathedral parish, and in his
tOileome ministrations had won for himself
the love of both priest and people with
whom he labored. He was subsequently,
appointed by his Eminence the Cardinal
Archbishop to the charge of the Diocesan
Seminary at Conliffe, and governed it with
mildness and with wisdom. He goes from
amongst us, but he bears with him the
kindly remembrance Of many personal
friends and the blessings of the poor and
needy, whose miseries he SO often lightened.
Thompson, the Fenian Conrict.-The body
of Thompson, who's died in the convict
prison at Portland, WAS buried. there on
the I'd inst. It would have been given to
the friends of the deceased by, the direction
of the Secretary of State, for privat8inter-
ment at Baliycastie, in the county Of An
trim, to which place Mr.. Hogan, of Bir-
mingham, had promised to have it con-
veyed, by way Of Fleetwood and Belfast,
so as to avoid Liverpool and Dublin, but
that Mr.. 'Henrick, who, in common with
other friends of the deceased, had Joined
in making the application to the Home
Secretary, was subsequently found to have
taken a part in connection with the Am
nesty Committee in Dublin, with the view
of organizing public funeral as prelude
to interment at Glasnevin. Upon the Home
Secretary being informed of this he de-
clined to allow the body to be given up,
and for the present, at least, it is inferred
in the usual convict burial gronnd at Port
land.
Alleged Cruelty to Prisoners. under

it is stated, on a charge of assault, were re-
Gently walked handcufed from Magherafelt
to Derry jail, distance of some thirty
miles, without being allowed any rest or
refreshment, and that they were SO ex-
hausted on their arrival in this city that
one of them tainted. The mensleft Mag

same night, being thus on foot and hand

would be slow to believe that such SYSTEM
of torture can have been permitted, but
we have the facts as stated above on good
authority-Derry Journal.
The Collection for the Pope Sunday
having having been :. the day appointed for the col
diocese of Dublin, the tribute to our Holy
Father Plus TX. was rendered at all the
churches in the city with the most sponta-
neous zeal and devotion. /" Peter's PENCE
was only the nominal designation applica-
Bile to the contribution, unless in the case
collection place the people gaJe with a
iberality which strongly eviIced their
love for the Pope and devotion to the Holy
See.
Clonm,el Fair.-It was thought on Mon
day, when the weather looked as if the
country was to be favored with rain, which
just now is badly required, and the fair of
to-day wednesday,, well stocked as it
was, would have been a still larger one,
and prices entirely favorable to the buyer
However, these hopes were to some extent
not realized. Agreeable as fine weather
may be under ordinary circumstances, it
ceases to be SO to the farmer when its con-
tinuance causes loss. The demand opened
somewhat dull as compared with transac-
tions at former fairs. However, under the
somewhat adverse circumstances referred
to, the supply was large, and the demand
as brisk as could fairly be expected. There
was a good deal of habitat cattle in mar
ket, which met with ready sale. Second
class cattle were neglected.
a Braue Waterford Man.-Yesterday;
(says the Roman correspondent of the Week.
Ly Register,) Capt. darcy returned from
Valentane, where he has been a few days
on an expedition against the Italian brig
ands, who had been giving some trouble in
that neighborhood. He brings with him
the chief and two others, whom he had
taken prisoners, several rifles, and 1000
francs.
DR.. McS,oiney and the College Of Physi-
cians.-Some months ago four Catholic
physicians of eminence in this city-Drs.-
McSwiney, Thomas More Madden, John
Hughes and j. B. Byrne-sought fellow
ships in the College of Physicians. Having
been proposed and seconded, they were
bolloted for, and on scrutiny it was found
that each of them received a considerable
majority of assentient votes, DR.. McSwi-
ney, in particular, receiving out of ~
votes IL in his favor. This majority, how
ever, did not secure for DR.. McSwiney or
