| Englands PoEicy.-The Connaught Ran
ger writes, History is always repeating
itself. Fanatacism and prejudice released
Barrabas and left the sJnst One on the
cross. England pleads the cause of the
| Sultan and spits on the brief of the Pope,

world that the case of the latter is thou
sand times stronger and palmer than that

ing England to the consequences of aban-
doning her faithful Catholic ally in her
hour Of need. Had she been true 20 her
trne friend, neither the September Conven-
been disturbed. Victor Emmanuel would
have restrained his hordes of robbers, and
the Gar would have attended to the inter-
nal wants of his vast dominion"
Tlpperary.-Sympathywith the Pope.-We
are happy to announce that meeting of
the great county Tipperary has been con-
vened by the high sheriff, on requisition
bearing upwards of two thousand sigma
lures, "for the purpose of protesting
against the outrases perpetrated by the
! Italian Government against the Sovereign
Pontiff, Plus IX., in violation of every
principle of justice and public law" The
meeting, which Will be held at Thurles, is
sion of public opinion, and, we have nc
: doubt, will be in every respect worthy Of
gallant Tipperary."
