Since that period Mr. Forster has been joined by other members of the Society, who have proceeded on a tour of inspection from the soutlrto the north of Ireland, traversing the districts where the greatest distress prevails. The narrative of one of these gentlemen, Jas. H.

The ceremony was celebrated, with mnoh pomp, at St.

The altar was gaily decked with flowers, and surmounted by an unusual number of tapers, and the celebrant bishop, the Bight Eev. Dr. Ullathorne, wore his richest sacerdotal vestments of white and gold, his jewelled mitre, His lordship was accompanied by two assistant priests from Prior-park, and by the Rev. J.

Bonomi, who conducted the ceremonies, the resident priest, the Rev.P.O'Farrell, leading tbe choir. The four ladies, one of whom was young and beautiful, were introduced by some sisters of the order; and having asked of the bishop, in the usual way, the habit of religion, his lordship addressed them upon the nature of the voca any man who sincerely venerates the chureh in.oroi W. Forster had interviews with the principal persons of'Carrick, and found all classes deeply interested in the condition of their Eoor neighbours, and ready to unite in any exertionB for their enefit. They seemed, however, almost overwhelmed with the magnitude of the calamity. The streets were thronged with poor half-starved creatures, who had come in from the country, hoping to obtain some relief for their famishing families.

Although first day (Sunday) the meal shops were in somecases open, many were buying their halfpenny or penny worth of oat or Indian meal to make a little thin gruel lor the day's food, as no one will give them credit even for a day. It was truly a piteous sight to see Iialf-nnked children and women walking about barefoot on the snow, sobbing with hunger and distress. At Swanlinbar, co.

Wilson is abont Mr. Robert Bright, as chairman of the Free-Port Association, seeks and obtains an interview with the Dock Directors in reference to the transfer of the dock property. When the parties come face to face, the Dock Directors invite a proposition from Mr. Bright, but Mr. Bright has not anything to propose.

Nothing oa oome of nothing Speak again 1 say the Directors but Mr. Bright is -not in a position to make a definite offer and the Dock Directors intimate that they don't feel inclined to show their hand. And so the interview ends. A pause. Then Mr.

Robert Bright applies, on the part of the Free-Port Association, for a list of the holders of dock property. The application is refused. Another pause. Then the Town-council announce their intention of going to Parliament to get a bill to resist encroachments and to promote improvements. Tou must not do so until the Dock question is settled," exclaim numbers of the ratepayers, in public meeting assembled, or we shall oppose you on the floor of Parliament." Oppose and be hanged say the Corporation, by a majority of thirty-four to ten.

Another dead pause and at this pass are affairs at the present writing. We have two or three local bodies playing at cross purposes, with a portion of the public occasionally taking a part in the game. But nothing is one. If oratory could save a sinking city, we should ba saved if covering the walls with placards, proclaiming that Bristol must have a free port," would settle tie Dock question, it would be settled. But oratorical aid typographical displays are alike in vain.

The speeches are spoken and forgotten; and imperturbable bill-stickers cover over "A free port for Bristol," with mtices of Jerusalem illustrated," and announcements of the advent of the Mysterious Lady A contemporary some time ago took in hand to settle the Dock question, and to get the citizens a free port, at the small charge" of ld. in the pound. The process it adopted to bring about these very desirable objects was to blow its own trumpet with great vigour and perseverance, and to inform the citizens every Friday, that the best thing they could do was to peruse its columns every Saturday. We trust the citizens did so, and that they were greatly enlightened by what they read. But latterly our contemporary has ceased to exhort the citizens to diligent reading; and its articles in relation to the yet unsettled Dock question have, for some time past, been getting small by degrees, and beautifully less." Are they about to "cease and determine?" Let us hope better things.

Truly, it would be very ridiculous if the fuss and bustle of the last few months the "Double, double Toil and trouble," to give an entertainment (in London) on the songs of the High lands, the proceeds of whioh are to be appropriated for the benefit of the distressed Highlanders.

The order was of great antiquity, having been founded by St.

In Ireland it is quite otherwise; the potato crop is to Ireland what the wheat and oat crops are to England, the chief sustenance of the people. In many districts, indeed, it is the only food of nine-tenths of the population.

It is to be hoped, however, that after all the parturient throes, the mountain in labour will bring forth something more respectable than a still-born mouse in the shape of an abortive negotiation. We were not of those who, at its formation, bepuffed the Free-Port Association, and proclaimed that it was about to carry all before it.

On the contrary, we said, from the first, that it was a self-constituted body, without power to settle anything, but which might, if judiciously worked, be the means of bringing about a settlement by other parties. And that this was the correct view was made manifest at the first interview.between its president and the Dock Directors. Mr. Bright had no definite proposition to make, and the Dock Directors were aware that he could have none. It was no use, then, to treat Mr.

Bright with formal preciseness. It was his business to ascertain whether the Dock-Company wished to sell their property, and, if so, what they would be likely to take. In short, his mission was, and is, to bring about a negotiation between the Town-council and the Dock-Company, and then to retire and wait the event.

He appears to have done more than almost any other person in Donegal towards obtaining a correct statistical return of the real condition of the peasantry, not only in his own parish, but throughout the county.

selling the same sort of things at a very low charge. To carry out these measures, they very importunately and respectfully oall upon the friends of the poor and suffering for their utmost assistance. Many families in this village are without work or money, and destitute of the very necessaries of life. Great economy and vigilance will be exer much indebted to this gentleman lor his extreme kindness and cordiality; his whole heart and time appear to be devoted to the service of his poor neighbours. The narrator then goes on to state that in the parishes of Kilmacrenan and Mevagh, in the county of Donegal, there are thousands in a state of complete destitution, and others only a degree removed from that state.

They mn-t. ppriah. unless relief be speedy. In regard to Ireland, we are afraid that, in this country, the doings or the turbulent few, too often induce forgetfulness of the quiet and patient many. The following is very affecting What, then, is to become of the36 332 families in the meanwhile, or of the remaining 1173 who are described as requiring immediate relief How do they exist is a question which we anxiously and constantly put.

On a single meal of cabbage, or of turnip, and even sea-weed, or a chance supply of oatmeal made into gruel, given them by the few who have any at all, although certainly not to spare, but who cannot allow tfieirfellow-sufl'erers to perish without sharing that little. In fact, from all we heard and saw, we are satisfied that these poor creatures are thus, notwithstanding their deep poverty, keeping each other alive. I cannot leave this branch of the subject without stating, that the patience and good feeling of these unfortunate men is wholly beyond praise. Where their families are small, so that they have been passed over, to give tickets to others with larger, or where a whole district has been left without tickets, because the road selected to be first made is designed to run through a country suffering under greater privations than theirs, they have listened cheerfully and even thankfully to the explanation given to them, merely begging that they niiiy not be forgotten, "for they were indeed sorely put to it to live." Never have I witnessed so much good feeling, patience, and cheerfulness under privation, of the existence of which there can no longer be any doubt. To this we can indeed bear ample testimony.

Out of the scores of families which we visited, and the many poor people with whom we conversed in Donegal, I hardly remember an instance of their murmuring or begging, although they were at the time suffering from hunger and disease.

He exhibited the geometrical appearance of an object, and how different was the impression made by a pictorial representation of the same thing.

As yet the public is -completely in the dark as to whether it would be advantageous, or otherwise, to gain possession of the docks. If, indeed, the docks could be had possession of, on the cheap and easy terms proclaimed in certain quarters, then there would be no doubt or hesitation about the matter but surely, surely, vague generalities and loose calculations are not expected to be accepted as data in the settlement of a most important business transaction.

It would, indeed, be injustice to the Free-Port Association to hold it responsible either for the figures or the that has been put forth on the dock question.

Then, in regard to street improvements, it is said they must not be proceeded with until the Dock question is settled. Very good but let us have the Dock question settled.

It is not intended, we presume, that it should remain an "open question" until the Greek Kalends. Nor can we see that the council, obliged to go to Parliament to get a bill for the purpose of preventing encroachments, is to blame in obtaining the additional powers to make improvements. There ought, however, to be a distinct understanding that such improvements will not be proceeded with for the present. This year we shall have plenty to do without making new streets but, it is to be hoped, that no such discreditable sight will be witnessed as a Parliamentary struggle between the Town-councillors and a portion of their constituents, respecting a local bill.

And this was the light and shade-the chiaro-scum of art non-attention to which was the destruction of pictorial effect. The artist illustrated this by the most simple materials a few pieces of black and white paper, torn into rude scraps, but placed, in relation to each other, so as to give the greatest appearance of variety not in squares, nor in blots, nor at regular intervals but so as to harmonise with each other, arid produce the most pleasing effect on the eye. He further illustrated this position by ex fiibiting prints from drawings, by Wilkieand other first-rate artists, and freely commented on palpable violations of this rule but iu many instances he attributed the defeots to the carelessness or negligence of the printer, in omitting properly to clean the plate. He then explained the theory of colouring, arid showed how entirely the effeot must depend' on a judicious and artistic combination of colours. He concluded a highly-interesting lecture by exhibiting some copies from the ancient masters, in which the colouring was very vivid.

Throughout the narrative repeated testimony is'borne to the exertions made by the clergy to relieve distress. The following is one of many similar cases We drove over to Ballintra, a village about six miles distant, where we found the Protestant clergymen of the parish giving up the whole of Mb time to the support and assistance of his suffering neighbours, many of whom at the time of our visit were flocking around him at a loan-fund office, which, as might be expected, was almost bankrupt. He received W. F.

These articles he endeavoured to dispose of. but found it verv difficult at the the attention of the company, who appeared to seize every opportunity of expressing their approbation.

He also showed the effect of the reflection of light on water, the rays forming an oblique angle from the sun, or point of light, to the water, and thence to the eye of the observer. He again referred to the subject of variety, as the most essential attribute of beauty. A simple curve wsb more grateful to the eye than a straight line, and the curve became more beautiful as the variety of its forms extended into curls, wreaths.
