If he wished to govern this country in a spirit of justice the very first thing that would claim his attention is the anomalous condition of our churches The Protestant church of Ireland which con? tains about eight hundred thousand souls has from the stater its broad acres and its and its immense revenues The Presbyterian church of Ireland which also contains'' about eight hundred thousand souls receives annually from the state about 80000 But the only sum which tb'dj'Ca tbolic church in Ireland receives from the state is tbe paltry sum of 260001 for the education of our clergy in the college of Maynooth (hear hear) But gentlemen small as this sum is Lord Derby thinks it toojnuch for us The cry on which he goes to the country is Down with Maynooth" (bear bear) Give Lord Derby more power and the fate of May nooth is sealed It may be said that Mayuoothahas given offence by the conduct of some of the clergy it has sent forth but what offence have our religious houses given? sWhat have our nuns done that they should be menaced with a Cromwellian visitation in which their retirement will be in vaded their feelings outraged by insulting interrogatories and their persons exposed to the leering contempt of preju diced inspectors (sensation) God help us we live in strange times It was said by the great Edmund Burke that the days of chivalry were gone If he lived now he would say that the days of common decency bad departed too (cheers) Let any person who hopes for better things from Lord Derby look at the proclamation which appeared the other day which the rites of our religion are denounced as nuisaneds as foul things which cannot be tolerated in the face of day' (great sensation) We have never heard of a proclamation against processions the object of which was to burntin effigy a bishop or a cardinal or even the Holy Mother of God Drunkenness and immorality may stalk over the land with out let or hindrance "but the ceremonies of our religion must not appear beyond tbe threshhold of our own churches If a Catholic bishop consecrates a graveyard or lays the founda tion stone of a chapel in the habits which the canons of the church require' he is liable to be prosecuted If our people march in procession' to our schools or chapels they may like the people of Stockport the other day have their houses gutte their i chapels wrecked their' blood scattered on thestreet and' a sacrilege perpetrated before their eyes that must thrill phe soul of every with horror The consequence is gentlemen that we Catholics have but one course 'and that course is one of determined opposition 'to Lord government (cheers) Whoever is with Lord Derby is against us Whoever supports Lord Derby is opposed to us and must receive from us the the most determined the most vigorous opposition Not gentlemen that we have any objection on private or per sonal grounds to any supporter of Lord government If Captain Jocelyn were not a supporter of Lord go vernment be would have come before us in a very different light from that in which we must now view him (hear bear) I am: certain that no Catholic in this town entertains towards Captain Jocelyn any sentiment of individual bos tility We believe him to be an honourable upright man (hear hear) But gentlemen the question between us and Captain Jocelyn is not a question of private feeling or personal courtesy The struggle in which we are engaged is a struggle for our very existence as Catholics A deadly blow is about to be aimed at our religion At the very close of the last session of parliament two petitions were presented in the Bouse of Lords one to abolish Maynooth another to throw open our convents to Protestant inspectors and thesa petitions were presented by Lord Roden If Captain Jocelyn is sent by you to the House of Commons he will assuredly walk in the footsteps which Lord Roden has traced out for him Wherefore I say again gentlemen that our course must be a course of determined opposition to Captain Jocelyn We must oppose him because he is opposed to us we must oppose him because if he goes to parliament he will go there to vote against our rights and crush our liberties (cheers) If any Catholic votes for Captain Jocelyn he thereby stamps himself a recreant to his country and a vile traitor to his creed The very rev gentleman then referred to the candidature of Mr upon whose talent and character he passed a high eulogy and appealed to thim to retirejand make way for Mr Bowyer That gentleman (con tinued Dr Kieran) although' an Englishman is with us heart and soul able and willing to protect our rights (vehement applause) He is prepared to vote for Sharman bill (cheers) He is prepared to support an Irish party in the House of Commons Above all gentlemen Mr Bowyer is one of those men whom the present crisis par ticularly requires (great cheering) Let Irish Catholics differ as they may in politics we all love the religion for which our forefathers suffered on that religion a fearful storm is about to burst (cheers) In the last session of parliament it was attacked with unprecedented fury In the next a more terrible onslaught will be made upon us If youtberefore love the religion for which your forefathers suffered you will send to parliament men able and willing to defend it Now I firmly believe that Mr Bowyer is a man oh this character I know from the highest ecclesiastical authority in England Ireland that there is no laymaniiving who knows thedoctrines of the Catholic church better than Mr Bowyer 116 loves the enuren ana no xym jroyei cs loves it If you send him to parliament he will go there to tell bur calumniators what we really believe and to vindicate our religion from the foul stains that have been cast on It (cheers) now propose George Bowyer Esq as a fit and proper person to represent this borough of Dundalk in the next parliament? (The very rev and learned gentleman was' greeted with tremendous cheering on resuming his seat Dr Coleman seconded the nomination of Mr Bowyer Mr Robert Haig proposed Captain Jocelyn i Mr John Carraher said that as a Catholic and not a mushroon Catholic he rose to show that his religion was not one of sect or party and as such he would show liberality by seconding the nomination of that honest man Captain Jocelyn (cheers and groans which lasted some mi notes) 1 He (Mr Carraher) had been eighteen years among' them and he would defy any man to point his finger to any bad act he had ever done and if they had not got rid of their excellent member Torrens he (Mr Carra her) would not be there now to second Captain no mination (muchl confusion and interruption) Torrens M'Cullagh was not there be supported the next best man and that was Captain' Jocelyn whose nomination he had great pleasure in seconding (cheers) A Mr Gartlan then addressed the electors in a long and elo quent speech in which he declared his intention of with drawing from the contest in order not to divide the Liberal party but stated at the same time i that on the principle of Ireland for the he would not vote for Mr Bowyer Neither on the other hand would he vote for his Tory hearted Captain Jocelyn as he considered that the brother of Lord Roden had no claim on the suffrages of the Catholics of Dundalk 1 Mr Bowyer next presented himself and was received with considerable entbusiasm by the people on his side of the house Mr High Sheriff and I stand here as the representative of the Liberal and Catholic con stituency of Dundalk nt I ask them to record their votes in my favour and I ask is (here any man who will dare to call me a stranger (hear hear and booing) I am the candidate of the majority of the towh am the candidate of the people and I say again is there any man who will dare to call me a stranger (cheering and booing) I ehall go to parlia ment as the representative of Irish nationality and I shall act with those Irishmen who advocate it there (cheers) Ixi nuswer io uieuee ana noeis on tne town propagaiea oy the Whig press (cheers) There never was an election conducted in

They were visible for about five or six minutes and gradually vanished They appeared to be full rigged Ships with all sails set it was observed that the sternmost one was mon distinct than the other

He affirmed that he spent his lifein the service of his country and that he had ever acted with political consistency That as regards the Whig party he was a Whig as Sir Redington asserted that he

BALLINAGH COUNTY CAVAN (ROM A CORRESPONDENT) The 12th of July of immortal memory has passed off quietly here No display and no badge emblem or insignia was worn by any of the loyal brethren or hoisted up in any conspicuous places save a solitary flag that might be seen dangling from the church of Ballintemple The poor Orange men were remarkable for their quiet and peaceable de meanour on this occasion They went to church and back again when they retired to their lodge No 1 Watertlane where they endeavoured to keep their spirits lip by pouring spirits down for loyalty with them is litre a cholic cured by brandy oh Thus passeth ftwyy the gloryjrf the world We were visited here bn night by the most tremen dous rain lever saw accompanied by loud claps of thunder and vivid flashes' of lightning which continued unremit tingly until eight this morning Some of the houses in this town were completely inundated and all the low country is in one sheet of water so that potatoes corn and hay seems to be floating plantations of vegetables DREADUL RIOTS IN BELAST We regret to say that a shocking affray took place on Tuesday evening in Belfast which has resulted in the death of one man and the infliction of severe injuries on thirty or forty persons The Belfast News Letter states that the origin of the disturbance was an attack made during the previous evening on the house of a named Ball a Protestant ifi Cullingtree road and which resulted in the wounding of three persons by the shots fired daring themeea two men named and a young woman named who was shot in the back part of the neck immediately below the ear The ball has been extracted from the neck of the girl One of the men named Peter aged 50 was shot through both bones of the right leg Both' were removed to the hospital and are progressing favourably though not out of danger This lamentable circumstance excited much ill will between the Catholic population of Barrack street and Cullingtree road and the Orangemen of Sandy row and on Wednesday evening a fearful engagement took place between them a vast number of both parties being armed with guns and pistols besides pitchforks spades and every weapon that could be laid hold of A desperate fight was maintained for upwards of an hour dispite the efforts of the constabulary to disperse the rioters and many of the combatants both from the street and the houses kept up a continual volley from muskets and large pistols which says the Belfast News Letter the spectators the idea of a town The result has been that a man named Spence and a lad named Henderson were shot dead and it is estimated that upwards of forty are severely wounded but whether fatally or not is at present beyond conjecture In Durham street and Townsend street there is scarcely a house that is not more or less injured Some of them are com pletely wrecked the windows and sashes broken to atoms and the frames beaten in? the riot act was read the military horse and foot were called out et it was with the greatest difficulty that the rioters were dispersed In many places the streets are impassible from the bricks and stones used by the rioters Comparative quiet prevailed during the night the military and constables parading the streets till two on Wednesday morning ALARMING OCCURENCE Newport Last evening an alarming accident occurred' in the town which occasioned the most frightful apprehension as to the safety of nearly four hundred men women and children The Latterday Saints who form a Yfiy tha populafon inJWlea4iave been holding conference" here wlthiri the past few days To this gathering have assembled ipany of the elders bf the fraternity some of whom have held rank as on the banks or the bait River Great preparations were made to celebrate this conference on an extensive scale and among other means it is said that promises bad been held out and believed in by the too credulous Welsh people that would be Yesterday afternoon a large building named the Sunderland hall in which the body had held their services for a long period past was filled to overflowing by the members of the sect and their families who resided in Newport together with considerable num bers of the people from the hills the colliery ironworks It is supposed that about four hundred persons were here assembled about to join in partaking of tea after one of the services of the day Several Mormon elders had given out the blessing and some hints were thrown out that even that day might witness some of the great and miraculous powers of the saints Scarcely had tea been commenced when without a warning exactly one balf of the lofty and heavy ceiling of the building fell with a sudden crash or a moment all was blinding and suffocating dust and con fusion then succeeded the most appalling shrieks and the most terrifying clamour and amidst tbe din and horrible confusion that ensued people rushed from all the surrounding houses apprehending that some great calamity had occurred earful screams were again heard bursting forth presently the windows of the hall were dashed out and the affrighted creatures within flung themselves through tbe

burst open from without as well as the piles of people heaped upon one another inside permitted and ingress being at length obtained tbe sight lhat presented itself was enough to appal the stoutest beams and rafters whole patches of ceiling amidst clouds of dust lying noon scores of people while the tea tables affording protec tion to many were crowded below with numbers crying aloud for mercy for protection and for a miracle to save them Tbe upper end of the hall where the elders had been seated was unhurt the ceiling above their heads was unbroken Immediate exertions were made and in the course of an hour the wretched creatures were all extricated from the ruins and on a minute search being instituted not one was found missing and what is Stillmore remarkable although the beams and rafters were heavy and some with huge pieces of entire ceiling fell directly upon the tables and others in a that appeared to insure inevitable death not one single Mormon was injured though it was intimated that two or three unbelievers who bad gone thither to revile and sneer at the true followers of Joe Smith received slight inju ries which may serve their consciences as remembrancers When the parties were all extricated another hall was ob tained and there the remainder of the evening was devoted to an ovation to the elders and the prophets who had wrought the anticipated miracle of causing a ceiling to fall upon the heads of the saints without injury The occurrence has occa sioned a remarkable sensation in the town" SUDDEN INQUEST Hyndman' Esq one of the cily coroners held aq

I myself for five and twenty months was pursued by them without pause I have often had nine separate libels a week directed against me specially or dered and specially paid for by the Whig government (cheers) Between my various trials the same system was contrived when the generous hearts of Irishmen with Whom I had been battling in public life Conservatives and Irelanders melted with sympathy the government gang were scattering the most odious lies among the jurors to secure a conviction Do you think I can feel any satisfaction in wrestling with a man like this My peasant blood feels degraded by the contact May I be defeated now and defeated for ever in my hopes may I go down to a dishonoured grave if I would take bis acres and his title and his red ribbon with the infamy of having hired Birch and Balfe and Barrett to assail the character of gene rous opponents (cheers) You comprehend now my friends do you not why New Ross has been slandered since this man came amongst us (cheers)? His bld gang are at work again and new scoundrels have appeared by particular desire and for this one occasion "We have had a plamible apology for the crowning disgrace of this his keeping his place while his religion was assailed Apply a simple test to it Pick any bumble Catholic out of this court and ask him to hire himself to the Stockport rioters and you will hear wbat he will say (cheers) you will hear an answer more becoming a gen I tieman tnan all those plausible platitudes invented to disguise meanness and venality Good Heavens 1 when one remem bers at what a price Catholic liberty was purcha ed how many victims went to the block to maintain it how many left home and kindred to die in exile rather than abandon an iota it when one recalls the noble sacrifices which poor Catholic electors in our own day have made and tbe seductions they have spumed to record a single vote on the right side how incomprehensibly mean is the servility of this man (cheers) He did not want food or clothing or shelter no roofless home or craving children assailed him he sold honour and conscience for the lofty privilege of wearing a red ribbon in his button hole (loud cheers) Does it need any argument to prove that if you trust him again he will get some glittering bauble to be placed on his breast or like a negro to be hung sublimely from his rose against all the charms of country or religion (cheers) He insists that if he had re signed that would not have st opped the passing of the penal law Weti be it so We do iot demand impossibilities from him But if he had resigned he would have kept his own cha racter' pure and entitled himself to mount Irish hustings and face an Irfch audience (cheers) As far as depended upon him he passed it what more could be said if he had seconded the bill in the House of Commons (bear) It is characteristic of this man to charge ather Doyle with place begging on the strength of a letter signed by a multitude of people on a sub ject in which he had not a particle of interest It would be an insult to ather Doyle to defend him To look upon him is answer enough Did that man ever beg places (vehement cheers) I say if ever there was human creature free from selfish motives and moved by public duty there he stands I will say that if Ireland has seen a great Dr Doyle she is aesunea to see a greater still (cneers) As sure as you and I live my friends someday there will flamq in thqfr ont of the Irish ohurchn mitre terriblv es a meteor to the enemies Of Ire a star of to the Irish race throughout 'he universe 'and it will set on a brow radiant with intellect and holiness Jthe brow of Thomas Doyle (tremendous cheers) But I return to Sir Thomas Redington (hear) He boasts that his public life of fifteen years must have been singularly pure when so little can be brought against him His public life forsooth why where were we to look for it? In the bogs of Connaught or in the back parlour of Dublin Castle (laughter)? We do not pre ten i to know very much of his fifteen years of mediocrity and and obscurity but we assert that whenever he came to the surface it was in' some discreditable position (cheers) It was to protest against jury packing and then to pack juries it was to declaim as a model Catholic and then to sell Catholicity it wa to play the great patron of the church and then to feast it on buttermilk (laughter) He has denied the charge of jury packing My friends I hold a pamphlet in my hands which explains the whole story of that nefarious business This is the motto on the title We would be unworthy of our religion if we submitted to this system of excluding Catholics from It is taken from a speech delivered in 1844 when and others of whom I was one was tried by an exclusively Protestant jury the speaker was a young Connaught squire ambitious of a place and his name was Thomas Nicholas Redington In 1848 John Mitchel John' Martin and Kevin were tried and convicted by the government of which The mas Nicholas Redington was the principal Catholic official every Catholic Juror who took the Holy Evangelist in his hand to be sworn was ordered to stand aside and in the Catholic city of Dublin in the Catholic kingdom of Ireland under the superintendence of a Catholic Attorney General and a Catho lic Under Secretary they were tried by juries on which there was not a single Catholic permitted to serve (groans) And thii man ventures to tell us he did not pack Juries But excluding Ca tholics is but one mode of packing Juries including lacqueys and hirebngs is another Mr Duffy here read a list of the jurors which had been selected to try him by which it appeared that they were nearly all trade men to the Lord Lieutenant) Sir Thomas Redington takes up the cry of his rascal press and asks me Who killed Who killed Who killed Cock Robin (laughter and cheers) There is as much sense in one question as the ether Aman who had done ten work live more than seventy years and when he dies on his road to eighty men asked who killed him (hear) If a special reason be necessary tell you where we may look for one with some hope of finding in the treachery of the Whigs (greet cheers) They won his support with the promise of eleven measures' which werie to redeem Ireland He saw his hopes utterly sappointed he saw the people starved he saw the eleven as distant as the day of judgment and then he died (hear) (Who killed Some smooth slave of a Cawtholie some Anthony Blake or Thos Redington who tempted him with false promiaea to put trust in the Whigs (cheers) Bow many of the eleven have we got my friends (none none)? You are mistaken myfritnds Don't you think the Whig coercion bill counts for one them (laughter) you think the Whig bill empowering a land lord to eject his tenantry for twelvemonths arrear is another And if you demand a third I present you with the ecclesias tical titles bill (great cheers) I am glad to meet this shallow nonsense Ace to face and blow ite away for ever I had as much to do with the killing of as with the killing of Abel (cheers) I am now done with Sir Thomae Redington and ids friends I leave him for judgment with you If there were an Irish parliament he would be answering an impeach ment for the massacre' of the people instead of standing here He might be mounting a scaffold instead of a hustings (load cheers) His claims are fairly before dispose of them as you think fit Let me recapitulate them for you as he must speak were he to utter the naked poor were starved as commissioner presided at 1 their execution in the name of Christian charity give me your votes (laughter) The right of Catholics to be tried by Juries on which Catho lics had their fair places was scandalously outraged and I aided and abetted the outrage: in the name of equal justice give me your votes Some of the best men in the country risked their lives to save the lives of the people and I helped to slander and betray tbem: in the name of friendship and honour give me your votes The sacred ark of religion was assailei and I clutched my wages and did the work of enemies without compunction in the name of (rod and your countryeend me back to betray it (hear' and cheers) I leave Sir Thomas Redington in your hands and you will teach him a lesson he will never forget that Clarendon his master will never forget A lesson which his royal mistress may study with ad antage that a renegade Irishman is not worth picking out of the gutter (cheers) Mr Duffy then said he would pass rapidly over the speech of Mr Lambert for though he detested his politics and though it was a mystery he could not fathom how a man born 'and reared among the generous Irish people cculd hate them he was at least not a mercenary traitor he had abandoned his country but he had not taken wages for the work (cheers) Mr Graves spoke of the time when Ross was a prosperous and flourishing port crowded with ships if he wanted to bring back that time let him help them to put the green flag of a free nation at the mast head of their vessels (loud cheering) I too (continued Mr Dufly) want to see Ross what Ross ought to be (cheers) 'Any success will be only an approximation to that result till we see again an Irish senate and an Irish flag till an Irish navy sweeps our seas and an Irish army guard onr till a noble free united Irish people are growing up under the shelter of native institutions (cheers) God send the day God send it soon And surely there is hope and assurance of it in the noble stand made by the electors of New Ross against the gold and the threats of their enemies Mr Duffy then thanked the people for the exem pl ary patience withwhich they had heard the adverse candidates It WHA an anawpr tn thnlifta find lihala nn thro Inww nmna crated hv in a more orderly manner (hear hear) I I.
