III OIONlNU. JUNE lCs lCS1'
reading of the Coercion Bill was resumed
on Friday evening week, when Mr.. Martin
made another telling speech in continuance
of that which had been cnt short by the
rules of the House ON the previous Tues
day night. The member for Meath de-
scended in this latter speech from the ele-
waited stand point which he had taken up
in his first address but the matters with
which he dealt we'll deserved to be noticed
by him. Mr.. Seeds tampering with the
jury panel for the Meath Special Commits
sion much required to be exposed in the
House. Mr.. Martin thoroughly exposed it.
upon the fact that, although infinitely more
crime and disorder prevail in England than
in Ireland, yet no one proposes as o remedy
to abolish the Constitution in the former
country. Mr.. Martin concluded his speech,
which was listened to with attention and
moral and intellectual gulf between him
self and the vast majority of the House
that, although he had much more to say on
the question under discus ion, he despaired
of being able to say it all in single speech.
Four other Irish membership Digby, Mr..
Synan, Sir P. O'Brien and Sir j. Grey
spoke strongly against not merely the one
clause which the O'Conor Don wished to
have omitted, bat the whole Bill, as q
measure which was neither expedient or
necessary, and which would be productive
of the worst consequences.
The other side Of the question was es-
poused by three OF the Ulster Tory mem
bers-Messrs. Bruce, Connolly and Sander
son; by Mr.. Agar Ellis, "Liberal" men,
Der from Kilkenny County. The majority
in favor of the second reading was 257,
including 81 Irish votes.-Nation, May 27.)

THE POPE AND IRELAND.
The following letter from his Holiness
has been received by DR.. MEvilIy, Bishop
of Galway: Venerable Brother,-Health
and Apostolic Benediction. The course of
public events in Ireland so fully accords
with the expressions of your own and your
peoples love and devoredness as to make
US receive with heartfelt gratitude your
letter and the accompanying donation con-
tributed by the piety of the faithful. For
Ireland has left nothing undone, either by
writing, peaking, meeting, or petitioning,
to manifest her indignation at the injuries
committed against the rights of this Holy
See of the whole Catholic Church, and to
procure spec dy restoration of them.
Wherefore we see reflected throughout
your entire letter the mind and feeling of
that most plous people: and this is the
more agreeable to us in proportion to the
rryh; A1o<
you adhere and cling to us in the closest
possible union. For this union has, under
Gods blessing, always been the source of
triumph to the Church, and will one day
raise your country, of which it has been
the chief glory, to state of prosperity
self and your people with our whole heart,
whilst as presage of Divine favor and as
| a pledge of our gratitude and thorough
goodwill, we most lovingly besrow on
! you, venerable brother, and on your entire
diocese our apostolical benediction.
PIUs TX, Pope.
