The Catholic archbishop of Dublin, in
of pastoral, says. Doctrines destructive of mu.
tual confidence are laid down by some public
speakers as the first principles of morals. Pa
triotism is invoked as a spirit of disunion be-
| tween priests and people, The evil geuius of
comunism, which has brought such fearful
| woes on other lands, is only watching the op-
| portunity which that disunion may give it to
| try and establish its hideous throne among US
| Our people have yet many wrongs. Our ed
| ucational sy.tem is imperfect. Our land laws
though reformed, can still be employed as
instruments of great injustice, and we must
use every means in which Gods blessings
| can be invoked to redress these wrongs.
The Mark Lane Erpress says the wealth
er the last two months has been the most
seasonable known for five years. Spring sow-
ing has been satisfactorily finished and agri-
cultural purposes are generally favorable.
In consequence Of the prospect of a good
l crop, farmers have ceased to attach import
ance to the retention of the remaining stock
| of home grown wheat and supplies in Mark
Lane and country markets have consequent
| ly been more libeIal. Although the condi
ton of samples has been fair, sales were on
ly effected with difficulty at decline Of two
shillings per quarter. Actual imports of for
| eign at Liverpool and London have not been
sufficient to cause the depression, but numerous
arrivals at ports Of call, and liberal shipments
and the marked decline in America have re.
duced business to state of panic. The op
erations of holders have been utterly disor
ganized by the release of the immense accu
mutation on the Atlantic seaboard. Instruc
tions given to factors have been simply tc
take the best price you can get, but sell. In
such demoralized state of trade, when mill
ers can scarcely be induced to look at wheat
it is not easy to chronicle the exact decline
especially as the lowest point does not appear
to have yet been reached, but it may be stat
ed that since the acknowledged failure o.
the ring, white American declined and red
shillings per quarter. AS far as can be gath
cred at present exports from Russia will mo-
be very large. In consequence of this fact the
decline on Russian has not exceeded 2s 6i
per quarter. Business has been entirely of {
retail character. The demand 80 far is no
at all stimulated by the decline in prices ant
and the future is uncertain, but SO sharI
a relapse may be followed by sharpe
reaction. Arrivals at ports Of call have beel
large. The recent heavy decline of whoa
brought forward buyers and there ha
been large demand throughout the week
prices recovered Cd to shilling on red and
to Is Cd Oh white. Maize is quiet. 1t has de
clined shilling aquarter. Offers of wheat 70
shipment from America continued restricts
, Some little business has been done in red win
ter on passage at AS Sd, to Sos, Sd, but buy
ers are generally indisposed to operate. Maiz
and barley slightly lower. Sales Of Englis
