f'rom an extract of the minutes of the
Council Of the Royal Dublin Society refer
red to by q recent correspondent of the
FSoeSs0N, 1t appears that out of a staff thir-
teen officials maintained in that institution,
library clerk, at hundred year, is Ca
tholic. The correspondent adds that this
solitary Catholic was appointed a short
time ago, and that the persons then in
Office were 80 much displeased, nay out
ragged, by the startling innovation that they
resolved to petition the Council for "the
expulsion of the Papist," and to that end
looked up the Journals of the Irish House
Of Commons for the petition of Edward
Sprag, in which that famous memorialist
besought redress of the injury done by one
Darby Ryan, a Papist, in contumaciously
presuming to have porters of his own reli-
gious belief in his employment. If all that
quite in the line of facts, we cannot help
observing that the system of the Council
and the spirit of the staff are eminently
worthy of each other.
