CATHOLICITY IN' NEW YORK. (Correspondence of the Waterfoid A'eir.) New York, September 10th, 18-13. My Rear Sir I now purr -se giving you the promised letter on Catholic affairs iu this city, but br thus delaying it 3 long, I tru you will pardon me. Asa commercial city. New York threatens to attain one day the highest pjsition in the world.

Its omine'ce at present is such as to excite the ay idishment of any one but a Yankee, for he wonders at n- thing, not even the dj-strjction of human life by locomotive celerity. From insignific at the beginning of the present centurj, it has grown to its present greatness. But alter examining what brs produced this great prosperity, one is not to much astonished after all. For, from the celebrated declaration of to this day every thing would seem to have Grmspu'cd to produce these results. But there is in New York another fact a moral, living miracle, if you will, which is still more deserving of our admiration still more calculated to call forth our asto-uisluueut I moan the position of the Catholic church at the preseut moment.

Jn ereaiing Mauhatten Island, on which New York is situated, nature would seem to have specially intended it for the greatest em Jriuni of the world, and, in a correspondiiis; spirit, man would seem to have acted in order to attain that resuf. Then, while I everything seems to have conspire I to advance the worldly prosperity of New York, on the contrary, everything sccuu to have as zealously combine! to retard the piopagatiun of the gospel, the progress of the Catholic church. Near the c'ose of the lt century, the Mew York legislature of that day, in framing laws for the management of church property, would lead one to beliee that they never contemplated even the exigence of the Catholic church for whilst ample provision was made for churches of different Protestant sects, uot oue word is mentioned aliout the Catholic church. This notorious fact can 1 seen in the statute loksof this s'ate. Well, wh.it is the tuot now The fact, is that, notwithstanding all the worldly influence and some of themselves acknowledge that they have not much spiritual power fi.at aided by infidelity and au army of other auxiliaries, had, and has siill at its disposal, out of nearly 800.0u:i inhabitants, including the suburbm dUtricts, the one-third at least are Ca holies.

The embolic church possesses in this city clegmily fit out churches, inc'iuling Brooklyn and William-burg, which bear the samurela iou to Ne-wYn'k that Ferry-benk does to the Urhs Intacta. In addition to these there are eight conventual establishments, whosa members, as everywhere else, conduct abitit twenty sehools, besides taking charge of various orphan igcsairl asylums. To visit anv of these churches on Sundays, and see the unostentatious piety of the congregation, the numbers that appio.ich the most Holy Sacrament, their fer vour and ure unsophisiicite 1 devotion, woul I almost make au lush practical (-atho'ie, believe, himself define one of the altars of his tmt'vc land, if his eyes did no! assure him that this magnificent assembly of the faithful, so an 1 so happy-lojking, was not to be seen Ireland, save in lar-e ci'ics, and eve'ii there itself, be would see a great many things to remind him of the suffering p'r Ireland has underg me, and the tyranny of that oligivcliical clique who have caused so much of it. As to the idea, of the Iriih, or even a small portion of them becoming apostates when they come here, a statement made by his parliamentary spiritualize I lordship, Ur. Duly, in his place in the House of Lor-ls some, tim; since, there is no more foundation for it.

than that his lordship can claim to be the lawful episcopal successor to the, illustrious martyr, Dunin O'llurley, archbishop of Cashel. who, after suffering for live days the moit i-heard of tortures, gave up the chost iu Dublin, in 1.132, Koonerthan take the oath of supremacy. If there be, in connection wi thU subject, one tiling more than another calculated to excite one's admiration and astonishment, it is the and with which the Catholic, no matter how hard he eirus it, coines foiward to contribute to the advancement of any pr.ject, baviug fir its end the protection of morality, or the propagation of tiie Hence tile reason why so in iuy edifices are possc-se 1 here by the rhurcli hence the rapidity with which they spriug into existence. Also, if there be one individual, more than another, of the episcopacy on this continent better calculated to diret-t and watch over his tioek, he is the Most ilev. Dr.

Hughes, uude'r whose saintly sway have a'l those things been accomplished' In fact, so great has the spread of ty been. and 0 far is advancing, hat at the instance 1 bel eve, of the respective me of the American episcopacy, his Holiness thought it necessary to create the Pillowing nowdioecscs viz.

Q. THE IVERIv FARMING SOCIETY. The Iverk Farming Society" held their annual exhibition of cattle, poultry, at Piltown, in the demesne of the Earl of Bcsborough, on Tuesday last. The attendance of gentlemen from the neighbouring districts was numerous. Tho Countess of Bessborough distributed various prizes to the farmers aud cottagers on the estate.

In the gentlemen's class the silver medal being first prize, was awarded to George Randall Penrose, of Belvi-dere, Waterford, for the best lot of Cochin China fowl. The Countess of Bessborough and ladies anj gentlemen present expressed their high approbation of the unrivalled lot of fowl their superior qualities being hitherto uukowu in this pait of the countty. The silver medal, which is a handsome design and very beautifully executed, an be seen, as well as the fowl, we learn, at the residence of Mr. Penrose. Iu the evening the society sat down to eliuner, the chair being occupied by the Earl of Bessborough.

The steamer" Eagle, of Newry, arrived here vester. day for the puipnsp of conveying to Belfast the utensils used in. the coust.ujt of the Traiaore railway. Mackesy John Feehan Andrew Ryan TTiom Clarke, Ldmond Walsh, Henry Denny, Pierse Cot Henry Galwey, John Lalor. Mr.

T. F. Carroll having read the minutes The Mayor said the first business in order 'was th consideration of the contemplated line of railway from Waterford to Dungarvan and Lismore, Jfcc Captain Newport moved, and Dr. J. Mack.sy conded, that Mr.

Edward N. Barron, soliciti 'y-. i was in attendance, should be heard on the Mr. Barron then made the following stateine addition to what we published last week The railway now contemplated would connect Waterford witli Cork by Youghal, for which purpose a bill is at present in existence, and the line would have reached Dungarvan by this time, if the funds had been judiciously managed. The sum of 95,000 had been swallowed up in parliamentary expenses.

There were two courses open to the projectors of the pre. sent line either to make an arrangement with the Cork and Waterford Company, purchase up the Waterford interest in that line, anel apply for au extension of time, or get a new act, on the joint guarantee of the city and There are two years of the time to expire of the act now in existence. Sir Richard Musgrave is taking active measure and Lord Stuart is equally interested in the line from Dungarvan to Waterford. A requisition ha just been issued, signed by the" most influential iu the county and city, requesting a public meetin of the ratepayers of the county and city, of Waterford at Dungarvan on aturday next, the 8th instant, to further this most important undertaking (hear, hear). My object in attending the Council is principally to urge on you to send a deputation to Dun garvan from this body to co-operate with those gentlemen who are taking such a deep interest in the scheme, and in which the interests of Waterford are so intimately connected.

It would take 12 iOfl'Jt) to complete the line, one-half of which would coine on the line, and tne other half on the landed proprietary, which would be only and which would be still further reduced by the receipts going for interest; so that in about twenty years you would have a free guarantee. There would be 21 directors, II forthe county, and 1 0 for the city, if it is thought proper to join in the guarantee, to watch over the interests of the line, and se'e there will be no unnecessary expenditure. The line would cost about 5,000 a mile, and Mr. Brett, county insp -ctor, told me that there arc no engineering difaculties in the way. They saw lately completed seven English miles of railway (Tramore), at 5000 p-r mile.

It is contemplated to run the intended line for 3i miles the Tramore line, and ten branch o.f, an 1 be kept as nearly as possible on the roast line of roa! already purchased by the county, which is now partly med for and partly incomplete to Dangarvan, and from thence on or near to of the parallel hues which run fro D.ingarv.m to Lismore, an! which is well supplied with material for constructing a line of rail. The project has been submitted to Mr. Dargan, in Dublin, and he is willing to carry it out, if supported I may mention that so ne steps have been taken towards a preliminary survey. Tlie number of inhabitants in the towns which would be connected with Waterford (Ferinoy, Mallow, Cappo-i'lin. tngarvaii, "is about and the rich valley of the Blackwater would be brought to our very do irs.

I am happy to say that the Waterford and ingarvau line will have the support of the Waterford aud Limerick a-id Waterford and Kilkenny companies, and the interest of the English Great We-tVa and South Wales liaes. Mr. irron then stated that it would b- necessary to have all the plans and surveys nnda and lodged the 30lh of November, aud urged upon the Council the necessity of prompt measures prevent the scheme from Clon nel to Cappoquin, which would be highly detrimental to the commercial interests of this city, canying away the traffic, as he before observed, of a large and fertile district fro to Dublin. He recommended the (oriuation of a p' riuan 'tit c.iai-inittce to act carrying out object, as there wa no time to he lost, and thus secure for the city of Waterford all the advantages which Mr. Sanderson's scheme would deprive them of, an I the line to Dungarvan should have best consideration aud support of every person who had tha interest and welfare of the city and county at heart (hee.r, hear).

By the report he held in bis hand, he said it would be sen that the other company were determined to proceed with their line if they were allowed to do so, for they had all their plans and surveys ready. Mr. Bar-on tlnnked the Council for their patient hearing, resume I his serit. Cant. Newv.irt We ought to be much obliged to Mr.

irron for the interest he is taking in the welfare of the city. There re no so ae tangible means for the corporation to do Jt1iiig for this neglected portion of the country, we ought to put oiir'J shoulders to the wln-d. A comm tte should appointed to attend the meeting iu ingarvan, which I think will be a great Mr. Barron says the guarantee will be a tax of 2 I. iu the po ind ou th landed proprietors, but I think it will be likely to amount to nothing, as it will, like the Kdiaruv line, be found that the traflic will bear the expenses.

Mr. Clark" cordially concurred in the proposition, hut he, like Capt, Newport, would not be able to ga with the deputation on iturduv to Dungarvan. Dr. Mackesy Mr. Barron has overrated the sum necessary to carry out this line; I think to CIS is all that will he required.

Capt. Newport nuvej for a committee, who would appoint a deputation attend the meeting iu Dungarvan. The greater portion of the Waterford and Limerick railway elirectors. he said, were in favor of the prop ised line, and there were two of them in tiie council who should be on the committee. The Mayor suggested that as the directors of the Waterford and Limerick railway were known to be in favor of the project, would it not be well to let US' their in flu -nee as such directors, and appoint new men from the council Mr.

I irron Men who will take an interest in the matter and who will work should be appointed on the committee. Mr. Feehan However anxious the committee may be to work, they can do very little without the guarantee of the city and county. Mr. Barron There is a great deal which they can do before they obtain that.

If a requisition emanate from the council, the high sheriif will call a mee'ing of the grand panel. It is ne'cessary that we should have ail preparations made by the of November or we will have to wait a year to get an act passed. Dr. Mackesy suggested that all the grand jurors in the council should be appointed on the committee, as they could give effective assistance. Mr.

Denny If I go now and pledge myself to the support of this line, how can 1 go into the grand jury room and take the oath to act without bias It would be better if it was outside the grand jury. After some further discussion and difficulty in getting members to ae't, the following committee was appointed, in motion of Dr.Mackesy, seconded by Capt. Newport: The Mayor, Dr. Mackesy, Sir Benjamin Morris, Henry Denny, M. Slaney, P' Cox, J.

Lalor, Owen Carroll, and T. Clarke. The first four gentlemen were named as the deputation to attend the iiit--iiii in j.iiiiiiii an em lu-uiiriruM. THE TO IIEtt MAJESTY THH PROTEST tmC" TO LIOHT. Mr.

Now, he contended that he had a right to introduce them to a portrait gallery given in the "Tablet," of the Presbyterians of the North, iu which they are represented as everything short of cut-throats and cannibals (loud cries of order.) Several gentlemen rose to order, and contended that Mr.

Rogers was irregular in referring to artie'les published in the "Tablet." The Chairman decided th it the rev. gentleman was out ef order, the articles in the "Tablet" having nothing whatever to do with Mr. Duffy, to whose speech he was then replying. The amendment was then put, and by an overwhelming majority, there being but four hands held up iu favor of it. The original resolution was then adopted.

Mr. Lucas challenged Dr. M'Knight to name the member of the Irish party to whom he referred, in order to afford that member an opportunity of answering the accusation (he'ar.) If the name was not stated, the charge couid not be answered (loud cries of heir, hear, and name.) Dr. M'Knight Let a resolution be passeil, calling on me to name, and I ill do so (oh.) Mr. Swift, M.P.

A resolution is unnecesssary yon are tiled on by the meeting to name (hear.) The Chairman said he would not delay any longer but he would put the question. The amendment was then put and lost there being only four hands held up in its favor those of Dr. 'Knight, Rev. Mr. Rogers, Rev.

Mr. M'Cullngh, and another gentleman whose name we could not ascertain. The original resolution was put and carried, amiif loud cheering, the only dissentients being the gen tlemen who voted for the amendment. Mr. Lucas then moved that Dr.

M'Knight ha called upon to name the I rich member to whom hi had referred. Mr. Swift, M.P., seconded the resolution, whicl was put and carried. Dr. M'Knight said the circumstance to which he referred was this When tne tenant right measure came to be the subject of legislative consideration, a member of the Irish party (name, name) we-nt to Sir John Young, who represented the government, and acted under the instructions of the cabinet (name, name) antl used a number of arguments, the object and tendency of which was to induce Sir John Young for various considerations Mr.

C. Redmond Answer the question in one word we elon't want long qualifying speeches at this late hour (hear, hear). Dr. M'Knight continued amid confusion And for some reason or other, to postpone ail attempts at legislation during the past session, and let the thing drop in the meantime (name, name.) That person was Mr. Lucas (derisive cries of oh, oh, and laughter.) Mr.

Lucas Who told rou that (cries of hear, hear.) Before an answer is given I pronounce the whole story from beginning to end to be an unmitigated lie (cheers.) Dr. M'Knight I pronounce, on the other hand, that in the lobby of the House of Commons Mr. Lue-as did admit to me that he had had such a private inter view with Sir John Young, and also excused himself and gave a variety of reasons which, he said, induced him to think the course was the most expedient for the teii.int right cause. Mr. Lucas After the experience you have had of the veracity of the statements (oh.

oh, from the Mr. Rogers), hear mc, if you dare after the experience you have had of the voracity of the statements coming from that quarter, I need say little more than tint the statement now made comes from the same quarter to enable yon to know how to treat it. and what to beliere of it (hear, hear.) I call upon Dr. M'Knight to name his authority for hi. original statement.

Dr. M'Knight It is for Mr. Lucas to deny it. Mr. Lucas I call npon Dr.

M'Knight to give his authority for the original statement, because it it is one which by its nature did not come from himself, ami with regard to which he might be mistaken, lie pretended to speak of a conversation that I had with the Chief Secretary, at which I presume he was not present. Dr. M'Knight I was not (loud laughter). Mr. Lucas I warrant you that (hear, hear, and laughter).

His veracity was in no respect pledged to the original statement. He might have been told it. Dr. M-Kiiight I was. Mr.

Lucas I was anxious to know upon whose authority it was made but for the second statement I have his own authority. If that stat-ment is false, he is the better of the false-hood. If the imputation is unveracious he is guilty of unveracity (hear, hear). If he is not believed in the last statement, neither is to be credited that anybody told him the former falsehood. 1 there have two lies with one neck, and with oae blow I 'll behead thein both (hear, hear, and laughter).

The statement which Dr. M'Knight has now madj is the most unmeasured falsehood I ever heard (loud cheers) it is not true (hear hear). It is nothing like the truth. It has no foundation in fact, there is not an element of truth iu it. It is all the invention of that wicked mind (loud and continued cheering).

Mr. Moore that Dr. M'Knight asserted in the Banner of Ulster" that he (Mr. Moore) had sought the appointment of Chief Secretary for Ire-land, lie also denied that statement iu the public papers and he called on Dr. to state whether he ever apologised for that falsehood, and, secondly, on what authority he relied (hear, hear).

Dr. M'Knight You have contriveel very dexterously to put me on my trial. I never stated that rou went to solicit the ollice of Chief Secretary Lut I say that, alter the accession of the Aberdeen government to power, the hon. member for Mayo was the first to wait on them to pay his respects. Mr.

Moore I say that is untrue, and utterly without foundation (loud cheers). I never communicated ith them directly or indirectly (beers). Dr. M'Knight I gave it on the authority of a parliamentary correspondent who was in the habit of gathering up chit-chat (laughter, and cpes ol shame). Mr.

Cadogan You may go home to the North now, old boy you and your friends are found out at last (hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. Moore- It was not published as a rumour, hut given as a statement which he was challenged to deny. The conference then adjourned to eieven o'clock on Wednesday. (From the Dublin E. Mail and our own reporter.) sr.covn w.

Lucas, addressee! the meeting in powerful speeches. They one and all counselled the the people to adhere to the independent Irish party as their only saving power, and conjured their hearers to root out" every government candidate in Ireland at the next election. When the names of Sadlier, Keogh, and others of that class were mentioned, they were received with groaning and hissing again and again renewed. Tea and eoll'ee were the strongest beverages allowed, so you see the people were iu earnest. A vocal performer enlivened the evening by appropriate instrumental music.

He had a doubt, because no intimation was conveyed to him that such a conference was about to he held but the requisition was of that large nature, calling together the friends ot tenant right, that lie tiiougtti irom the part he had taken in the question, it was his duty to he pr.

sent (hear, hear.1 It was true that he had laboured mosi unsuccessfully nt this question for a number of rears, and when man has laboured many years ithout success, p'-rhnps the cause sutlers some "depreciation in his hands. II- (Mr. Crawford) hail spoken so often upon the subject ill the Home of Commons that some persons were in the habit of calling his -nant hill Sharman Crawford's Now, however, the question had fallen into the hands of British lawyer of distinction (Sergeant Shee), and it had ceaseil to be termed the craze" of any man (hear, hear.) He contended that there was not a principal or a provison in that hill which was not perfectly just and fair, but at the same time he was anxious that too tenacious adhesion to its Jirovisions should not prevent the representatives of reland from accepting what he considered a great practical good the bill now proposed by the government with certain amendments and alterations (hear, henr.) With regard to the question before the conference, he was t.f opinion that they ought not to alterany resolution to which they formerly pledged themselves (henr, hear and cheers.) He thought it highly expedient that when men hound themselves by pledges those pledges ought to be clearly defined, and that it should not be placed iu the power of any person to say that a man had broken a pledge when he deviated from its liberal interpretation hear. The learned gentleman concluded by observing that the point which he admired most in the government bill was, that it gave compensation for improvements, unlimited as to time or amount cheers. Mr.

Potter, M.P., Limerick, was in favour of the old policy of the League, as well as an independent Irish party. The Rev. Mr. Rogers besrged to propose the following; amendment That this conference reallirm their adherence to the principles of Shurman Crawford's bill, and resolve to use every legitimate effort in and out of parliament to have grafted on the te nants' compensation bill (which, on the recommendation of the government, passed the House of Com mons last Session) all the essential principles of that measure." The Rev. Mr.

O'Shea said the amendment was in tended as a clap-trap to go back to the North (cries of hear, hear). A substantive resolution not difl'cr- uii much from the amendment as actually prepared, and would, no doubt, be affirmed by the meeting the proper tune (hear, hear). But it was now brought forward to he instituted for another, iu order to enable Mr. Rogers antl others to go back to tiie North, and proclaim that the conference rejected a mot reasonable resolution. Under these circumstances he thought the resolution should not be put from the chair.

In the abstract they could not differ from it, hut as a substitute for the original motion, it was a bad one (hear, hear). Advantage would he taken of its rejection. Those gentlemen would go down to the North. The Rev. Mr.

M'Cullat'h, P.M., was astonished at the imputation of motives by the Rev. Mr. Shea. Nothing could be more gross and unfounded than what had fallen from that gentleman. Rev.

Mr. O'Shea I told you that a resolution similar to the one proposed by Mr. Rogers would be submitted to the conference either this evening or to-morrow, and you could not have an honest motive in bringing it forward now (cheers and loud laughter.) Rev. Mr. Rogers I now call on you, Sir, as chairman, to decide whether he is iu order when he charges me ith dishonesty.

Rev. Mr. O'Shea I did not us? that word at all. Rev. Mr.

Rogers I appeal to the chairman to decide whether the geptlemau is in order. The Chairman You are at issue us to the fact. The Rev. Mr. M-Cullagh said he was glad that Mr.

O'Shea had deemed lit, if not to withdraw, at leat to modify his language-. He felt great pleasure in seconding the amendment proposed by his friend the Rev. Mr. Rogers. Mr.

Potter appealed to the Rev. Mr. Rogers to withdraw his amendment, and let it come forward as a substantive resolution next day. Mr. Moore On the same grounds that I objected to the withdrawal of the other resolution, I object also to the withdrawal of this.

Mr. Dully said that Mr. Rogers and Dr. M'Knight had complained of imputations, but had forgotten that they themselves commenced the battle. They had signed a report which cast most unwarrantable imputations on the Members of parliament then in that room.

At a former meeting, it would be remembered that Mr. Rogers promised that if Mr. Ke'ogh and Mr. Sadlier had not got an undertaking from the government to concede the tenKiit riirht hill before accepting ollice, he (Mr. Rogers) would himself in person lead the van of opposition against them.

Mr. Moore elicited from Lord John Russell the declaration that he had never given any such undertaking (hear hear.) After that admission he (Mr. Dntly) expected to find Mr. Rogers "leading the van" of opposition, but the reverend gentle man had led no van that any one could tel! of, except the van of northern deserters from the League. Mr.

Cadogan Perhaps it was tha caravan he led (laughter ond cheers.) Mr. Duffy perhaps he did that too (laughter) the van of those whose object secmeil to be to damage and slander the friends of tenant right in parliament (cheers.) A report had been published to which were aflixed the tiaiv.es of Dr. M'Kniuht, Mr. Rogers, and Rev. Mr.

M'Cullagh. Mr. Dully then proceeded to defend Mr. Lucas against the attack made upon that gentleman in the report, an attack which Mr. Dully as totally uroiindtcss.

He reviewed the attack, and commented upon it from point to point, and described it as heino as distant from the sober truth as the Arabian Nights' Entertainments" (laughter.) Mr. Duffy went on to say that the spirit of this attack had been persisted in up to the very eve of this meeting. In one of the last numbers of the Banuar of I'lster" that gentleman declared that tcrt'tin of the independent party severally urged upon the government to abandon all legislation on the 1 md question iu the hist session, and were the rhief obstruction to a reasonable settlement of it. This statement wus utterly at varience with the facts (repeated che-ers). Dr.

M'Knight said he came to that meeting with a firm determination that unless provoked to it he would not make an allusion that could by any possibility he the means of causing any dissension but he was not long there before a number of matters were brought forward involving his character for veracity in a very serious degree, lie was now in the eighth year of his tenant right agitation, which he had conducted up to that moment, in a great degree, at his own personal expense. He ulo came to that meeting at his own personal expense. Mr. Cadogan Why we all did that man (cries of yes, yes, and hear, hear) Dr. Now with respect to the report from the I'lster deputation, if Mr Duffy or the conference thought right to appoint a time and place for the investigation of the matter, there was not a fact in that repoit which he was not prepared to substantiate and prove (oh, oh.) Let them challenge him to do that.

He would do more. He would give them histories that he never intended to have stated there (cries of go cn.) He would enlighten the eyes of the people (murmurs and confusion.) He could state who it was of the independent Irish party that went to a leading member of the government to him not to allow any legislation on tenant-right to take place last session, but to let it stand over (loud rencuud tries of name.)

A report from the council relative to the recent progress and future prospect of the tenant cause, liavinj been adopt. -d by the meeting after a lengthened discussion, Mr. Totter, M.P., moved "That thi conference do reaffirm the resolution adopted by the conference held on the Sih and September, as to the legislative measure required, and the policy that ought to be pursued in the House of Common by the independent Irish party in the next session." The lkv. Mr. Dowling, "P.P.

seconded the resolution. (The original resolutions passed by the Conference in September, were as follows Resolved First'- That no Tenant-right li'dl which does not fullv embody the principles of Shaman Crawford's hill" can be "satisfactory to the country. Second That it is the unanimous opinion of this Conference that it essential to the proper management of this cause that the members of pnliaiiicnt who have been returned upon tenant-right principles should hold themselves aloof from and independent of any and every government that would not make Sharman Crawford's hill a cabinet The Rev. Mr. MQuiidc, P.P..

What was such conduct but robbery and spoliation and did not such proceedings call upon them to demand iu a bolder tone that those who had been elected to represent them should follow the course decided npon last year by that conference (hear.)

Dully, M.P., said, in reply to Mr. M'Quade, that the independent Irish party expected that the men for whom the of Six-mile-bridge was performed would have been faithful to the people. Cut what did they find When the session commenced, they found that the two venerable members for the county Clare, Sir John Fitzgerald and Mr. Cornelius O'Brien, were always ready to attend when Mr. Ilaytcr wanted them but when the questions of tenant right and religious equality came on for discussion, they were absent from their places in the house (hear, hear.) These gentlemen voted for the income tax, and they did not make Sharmnn Crawford's bill a cabinet measure, according to the terms of their original resolution (hear hear.) If such representatives were to he sent back to parliament as popular tribunes, what was to become of tenant right Last year they all agreed to a resolution of independence towards the government, and what was tlu' interpretation of that resolution? It signified that they were not to be begging places from the government (hear, hear.) And here was the Rev.

Mr. M'tjuade reading a letter from Sir John Fitzgerald, which corlinned Uiider his own hand the charge preferred against him of being a place beggar (hear, cheers.) Mr. Lucas, M.P., said, that two more devoted servants of the government did not exist in the House of Commons than these two men, for whose political advancement six miserable peasants were shot at Six-mile-bridge. Having read the letter of Sir John Fitzerald, he called on Mr. Quade, in th name of the clergy and people of Clare, to tell them that these two gentlemen having acted in such an unworthy manner towards their constituents, and thereby insulted Ireland and done their best to trample down and keep them in their present miserable condition, he and the clergy of Clare will make a clean sweep of them at the next election (hear, hear.) Rev.

Mr. M'Quade I will speak the truth. I never take on myself to answer for others whose opinions I do not happen to know on the question at issue hut I am justified in saying that neither I nor the clergy of Clare will be ever wanting to the support of the tenant farmers of Ireland and their cause (hear, hear, and oh.) Mr. Bowyer, M.P., having defined a cabinet measure to be one upon which the government staked its existence, observed, that if they took tin extreme course of policy on this question of tenant right, they would not be supported by the great Liberal party of England, but, losing that support, would be reduced to a position of complete insi'-iiilicaiice (hear, hear). Mr.

Moore, M.P., would pledge himself to give an independent party opposition to any government which did not make the essential principles of Sharnian Craw ford's bill a cabinet question. Sir Robert Peel, he said, made the corn laws a cabinet question, when it was carried (cheers). Mr. Bowyer then moved an amendment, to the effect, that instead of the word cabinet" the word government" be inserted in the second of the original resolutions. Colonel Grcville, M.P., thought that such an alteration would be fatal to the tenant right question.

Sergeant Shee, M.P., remarked that if they unanimously agreed to change the word cabinet to the word government, they would be regarded as plainly intimating to all opposed to them that they were not in earnest. Their former resolutions were good, and they should be adhered to (cheers). Dr. M'Knight seconded the amendment. At the conference of September, 1S.2, he and his friends from the north were almost solitary in their opposition to the resolutions then proposed, and they now Lad the pleasure to hear the same policy recommended by the hon.

gentleman (Mr. Bowyer), who represented the borough of Dundalk (hear, hear). A party like theirs ought to be independent of the government but he objected to the system of dragooning men into sitting on a particular side of the House of Commons (hear). They ere nil agreed that in order to cmry a good tenant right bill, their parliamentary party ought to be independent of government, but he most decidedly protested against the system of dragooning men to sit amongst those with whom they had no sympathy, and from whose political opinions they entirely dissented. The Rev.

Mr. O'Shea We don't seek to compel them (hear.) Dr. M'Knight had heard the doctrine repeatedly affirmed that the tenant right representatives iiiut take their seats on the opposition benches that they must not do as Mr. Bright and Mr. Cobden did take their position amongst the Liberal party, but rank themselves amongst the Tory opposition.

Mr. Sergeant Shee said the Irish tenant right members did the be they could, by arguing in the select committee, and by announcing their intention to move amendments to the same effect as those of the learned doctor. They did th ir best with the weakened parliamentary strength left them, in consequence of the defection in their ri nks, to induce government to do that which at last they did. lie did not think Dr. M'Knight had as many conversations Mr.

Lucas and himself had with Sir John Yomiff and Mr. Nnpier. The UNter deputation, who were backed by the authority of Mr. Crawford, contributed to the amendment. Dr.

FRIDAY, OCTOMEll 7, The London papers of Wednesday night contain no later news from the Kast than that which appears be-low relative to the declaration of war by Turkey against Russia. The Globe" of Wednesday evening endeavours to show that it would he premature to consider the decision of ihe Cirand Council at Constantinople as an actual declaration of war, without, however, mentioning any fact to sustain that view. Our cotemporary says The news from Turke'y, as we yesterday informed our readers, is not the news of a declaration of war, hut of the apparently unanimous resolution of the Grand Council convoked by the Sultan against the sinatur? of the (unmodified) Vienna note, and in favour of insisting on material for the inte-grity and independence of his Empire, by the Russian evacuation of the Danubian Principalities ami that demand, we may e.pect to find, will have preceded any movement in advance by O.ner I'acha."

The Divan, at the Grand Council held that day, resolved upon a declaration of war against Russia.

Report says that hostilities have already be'gun. Last night the Emperor of Austria left suddenly, with the Prince of Prussia, for Warsaw, where the King of Prussia will meet them." The fourth edition of the same journal contains the following despatch likewise from its Vicuna correspondent, and elated Monday evening Against the advice of the four powers, the Sultan has signed the declaration of war." I From the Ohihe). In giving the foregoing important intelligence, as published by our cotemporary, we 'would merely state that, although our own information does not authorise us so corroborate the main fact of a declaration of war, it is of a nature to warrant us in placing every credit in the statement. That the Sultan had on iha 27th convoked a Grand Council, consisting of l'JO of the principal ministers councillors, pachas, and others that the tpie-stion of peace and war was submitted to them by him, and that they had decided in favour of the latter alternative ail this is beyond a doubt. Such being the case, our readers will easily see that all the probabilities are iu favour of the correctness the main feature of the intelligence communicated by the Chronicle." Other accounts inform us that at the Grand Council despatches from Oiner Pacha were read, urgently counselling war before the winter should set im It is also stated that Prince Gortschakoff was moving troops as if he intended to cross the Danube for the purpose of attacking the Turkish position at Roustchouk.
