1303 BO30 . The
Cour
Ron,, June 17.-The sun sank to rest necti
last evening, and with his declining thele
beams closed silently the 25th year of the mine
most glorious Pontificate recorded in the their
annals of the Church. In the same sad si- whic
lence no salute froin the Castle of St. An- days
gelo, that fortress, heritage of the Popes, vital
whence, in defiance of the capitulation and the]
guarantees, waves a hostile banner ! The etat
sun of this morning arose bright and bean- Pals
tiful to usher in the 26th year of our be- four
loved Pontiff' Pins IX. Thus, when the con
darkness of the night which oppresses us 15,
now lhais passed away, the shadows will Ti
disperse, and again disclose to view, reful- berl
gent in tenfold glory, the Chair of Peter. Holi
As the Holy Father says, "Now the waves witt
beating against the Rock do it no harm tare
they only wash it." We must try and take M
our trials for our purification, but it is clesi
hard, very hard to think that we in Rome Hol;
(like all poor Catholics in Italy) are de- vale
barred from showing by any external signs witl
our joy in this day. The putting out of a Aca
light or a piece of yellow .muslin, even P
when done by a baby of five years old is a Hol
crime punishable by the precursors of the fift
Commune, who fill Rome to-day. The: non
wearing of a yellow tie or the purchase of him
a yellow flower endangers one's life or pri
limbs. son
The dear Holy Father, Vicar of Him Who A
drank for us of mingled gall and honey, his
has the glorious triumph of to-day embit- tier
tered by knowing that numbers of His sol- whi
diers, guileless as the innocentsof all offen- mu
sive ideas, have been ruthlessly arrested, tak
many even taken from the private families adt
they were serving in as servants, led man- her
acled through the streets, and cast into me
prison under the name of provisions for his

To guard againstany clerical demonstra na
tions, the city of Rome, in place of being tea
hung with flowers and tapestry by its joy- wt
ons population, who would have made wi
enough of money this week to keep them in wli
ease for a year, is in a state of siege. Not ml
3nly are the regular troops consigned to bar- lie
lacks, but the National Guard, twenty-eight life
companies, are on duty day and night, since tel
half-past 5 o'clock on the morning of the dr
;.th.. The regiment of bersaglieri sent out ag
ýo camp was brought in specially for the se
ccasion, and a regiment of cavalry pass- wl
ng through was dc.t.ulced and kept here. I!
Arms and ammunition were on this occa- to
sion given to the National Guard, much to Ie
their dismay. m
To us remain the churches, and Pins IX.
cannot say his Roman subjects are forget
ful of him. Togive an idea of what went
on in all the Roman churches this week la
would make my letter transcend all bounds. V
No matter to what function, all were for
Pius IX. ; or to what church one went, the t
same zeal, fervent piety, and the numbers
almost incredible, were the same in all. c
I shall now commence and try to give a
faint idea of what has been done, and what bi
is going on in that spot, and to that saintly
Pontiff on whom the eyes of the world are
now fixed. To give an idea of the health
and strength with which our Lord allows t
Pius IX. to enter on his twenty-sixth year, i
it is only necessary to state what addresses,
on one day this week, His Holiness received
and answered: The reception of addresses e
in honor of the Holy Father's Jubilee com- i
menced last Tuesday with the Rev. chap
ter of St. John of Lateran, headed by his t
Eminence, Cardinal Patrizi, Arch-priest of
the Basilica Caput et Mater Ecclesiaram.
They presented their congratulations for
His Jubilee, and showed Him the design of
the memorial they are about to erect in
their church in commemoration of this
event, so glorious and unique in the annals
of the Church. This monument will com
plete the link which in so singular a man
ner connects the name of Plus IX particu
larly with each of the three great basilicas
of Christian Rome. Nor can we leave this
church without pausing to think of the co
incidence which made St. John, to whom
our dear Lord confided His Blessed Moth
er, be rewarded for his care of her by out
living all his fellow Apostles. So PiuslX.,
Who has done so much in her honor, bids
fair to outlive all the other Pontiffs, and,
we trust that, though like St. John, ex
posed to continual martyrdom, God may
spare us the pain of seeing ourselves de
prived of him by violence.
Then succeeded all the generals and ab
bots of the Religious Orders, whose ad
dress was read by the Abbot-General of
the Cistercians. Then came the Chapter of
his own beloved basilica, St. Mary Major,
headed by Cardinal Amat. They presented
to His Holiness an exquisite painting on
parchment of the design of the memorial
S- rect in honor of his attain
,ug the years of Peter. Having only re
centl recounted the intimate connection
existing between His Holiness and this JI
basilica, it is needless to dwell on it now.
The name of Pius IX. and the Vatican The
Council will descend to remote ages in con- 18th a
nection with the Vatican Basilica. Never- dral tl
theless, the reverend chapter are deter- brated
mined to put up a memorial worthy of annive
their church to commemorate the event ration
which God has miraculously ordered in our surpas
days, as if, like the Council, to prove the done i
vitality of the Catholic Church and keep honor
the Faithful together. A deputation of the sacred
etat-major of the Pontifical Army and the ration
Palatine Guard came next. Then the fifty- gratit
four parish priests of Rome presented their the ni
congratulatioas and the handsome sum of flock
15,000 francs. th.

many remonstrances were made before any p

after the threats of the " Liberal" Press, it fret
ek is a comfort to know that some surveil- the
lance is exercised over those entering the the
lor Vatican. The deputation of 500 was en- son

ors they represented thousands, all Roman
6 citizens, and formed the real plebiscite of chi
the city of Rome. When the Holy Father Wi

this which they intend to present to him for a'

man- dresses and answers this week. Scarcely a
icu- had the last words died on hislips ere rap
icaturous and heartfelt cheers burst from
co every lip again and again, as if almost they P
o would bring down the walls. The cries

out- "Viva Nostro Re." Many threw themselves

THE JUBILEE OF THE HOLY FATIiER-DIO- call
CESE OF DUBLIN. erall
The solemn functions which Sunday, the hoan
18th ult., brought to a close in the Cathe- labo
dral the devotions of the Triduum, cele- wont
brated in thanksgiving for the twenty-fifth mar
anniversary of our Most Holy Father's ele- ed b
vation to the Pontificate, have not been tray
surpassed in impressiveness by anything The
drone in any other part of the Church in have
honor of the event. The appearance of the pie,
sacred edifice in its bright and festivedeco- entl,
rationa betokened the feelings of joy and or !
gratitude which overpowered the hearts of and
the numerous and devout multitudes who wro
flocked to pour out their grateful feeling pie
to the Divine Founder of time Church for ryrc
the favor vouchsafed to His Vicegerent on prim
earth-a favoo not given to any other of St. mer
Peter's successors. The high altar was the
tastefully ornamented, and in the sanctu- mol
ary suitable arrangements were made for han
the Most Rev. Prelates who took a part in p
the sacred functions. At the appointed 18t1
time the students of the Diocesan College, sun
Clonliffe, proceeding two by two, advanced to i
up the nave of the church, and were fol- wel
lowed by the Most Rev. Dr. Conro3, Bishop
of Ardagh and the Most Rev. Dr. Whelan Clo
Bishop of Bombay, accompanied by theit iyii
respective chaplains, Rev. Dr. Devereux cea
and Rev. P. O'Neill. Behind the archi- the
episcopal cross came the members of the sca
chapter of the diocese, amongst whom we tha
observed the Very Rev. Dean O'Connell, his
Monsignor Meagher, Monsignor McCabe, ace
Monsignor Woodlock, Canon Rooney, Can- ley
on Pope, Canon Kennedy, Canon Brock, ovu
and Canon Murphy. His Eminence the in I
Cardinal Archbishop, preceded by the sa- of

deacon; the Rev. T. O'Reilly, deacon, and of
a Monsignor Moran, assistant priest, had also ani
f two canons assistant deacons at either side his
as he advanced to the altar to celebrate. sia
The whole procession, as it moved through Bi.
the vast and most respectable congrega- o'i
I tion, could not fail to impress on them del
,f feelings of reverence and religious emo- as
, tion. A new and most pleasing feature in of
tithe solemn function was the style of its the
sacred music, and the manner in which it me
e was sung. The students and the priests to
who joined with them, dispensing with the op
e accompaniment of instrumental nusnic, sang fe,
ts Casciolini's Mass with voices admirably ed
, trained and with the richest and fullest to
n swell of harmony. When the Mass was th
)r ended the Most 1tev. Dr. Conroy preached. wi
d After the sermon his Eminence intoned th. to
t- " T Deum," which was taken up by thi lhe
3 students in strains that filled with del ,,i I i
id all who heard them. It has often beein w1 ii ci
,y pleasing duty to inform our reader of' the 111
many imposing functions which edify so C
it frequently' the Catholics of this city, but C
-. the function celebrated in thanksgiving for pi
lIe the Jubilee of Pins IX. had, it seems to us, tL
n- something special, like the occasion itself, ol
to deepen the tone of gladness and grati- bi
e tude that stirred the hearts of his spiritual ti
of children in Dublin. An address, express- el
r uing congratulation and thankfulness that Ii
our Holy Father has reached so anuspicious- tl
de ly the days of Peter, was adopted in the ti
gn presbytery by the members of the chapter C
re present, and the Cardinal was respecttully s
all requested to have it laid at the feet of his c
al, Holiness. Similar accounts come from all I
.is- parts of Ireland. In many towns, in ad- a
n dition to the. ecclesiastical functions, there a
est were illuminations and displays of fire
her works. This was the case in Thurles,
SMoate, Clonmel and Limerick. In the I
for County Tipperary and those bordering on I
it all the hills were lit up by bonfires. In (
the most of the churches in Limerick there (
1to were solemn services and general Commu
asp nions. A grand "Te Deum" was sung in I
aes the Redemptorist Church by the Bishop
for and clergy who are with him in retreat;
a in the Jesuait Church of the Sacred Heart a
Hed High Mass and sermon, with a great con
ad- course of people ; in the Dominican Church
rely a Grand High Mass in the morning, with
rap- general Communion; in the afternoon, in
the same church, after the Rosary, an ap
hm propriate discourse was delivered by the
e Rev. Father Foran. During the Exposition
Re," of the Blessed Sacrament a " T Deum"
Ives was sung, and after the Benediction there
ghis were prayers in English for the Pope, in
which all heartily joined.

Two years have scarcely elapsed since

call of their pastor gathered all as one, lit- the a
erally to cast their gold and silver, their lowik
household wealth and the savings of their liver
labor at the feet of Religion. It was a prine
wonderful episode in a wonderful history; to fig
marked by devotion too deep to be reflect- I am
ed by mere words, and by sacrifices no ex- ment
travagance of epithet could overpraise. the e
The record of that wonderful zeal cannot the a
have been forgetten-how these poor peo- the c
ple, not content with gifts in money appar- in It
ently extravagant-poor farmers gave £60 to I
or £80-toiled themselves at the quarries the
and the walls, as of old the returned exiles no p
wrought at Zion to rebuild again the Tem- for I
ple of the Lord. Indeed the story of Bar- Com
ryroe Church read1s like a chapter from the jiirii
primitive chronicles of the Church. Not stitu
merely has it grown out of the offerings of Uni(
the Faithful. The foundations have been cons
moistened by their sweat, their willing (che
hands have helped to raise it to the Cross Unt
upon its ridge. At noon on Sunday the tue
18th of June, the bells clanged joyfully their men
summons to the people who came in crowds chic
to witness the imposing ceremony. There her
wete frequent showers, but faith makes no fron
.0onaunt of weather, and from Bandon, by i
Clonakilty and a vast district of country fore
lying around Barryroe a continuous pro- and
cession poured in by every route. When to t
the dedication commenced there could thei
scarcely have been less in the assemblage war
than ten thousand persons. The arrival of (chil
his Lordship the Right Rev. Dr. Delany, deal
accompanied by his chaplain Rev.-P. IIur- live
ley, was the occasion of an enthusiastic wlit
ovation, for the distinguished Prelate lives icles
in the traditional affections of the people the
of Barryroe, who claim his Lordship as coal
lineal descendant of the Princes of their O'N
I of their country, and the living head of an net,
) ancient and historio sept. Shortly after ofa
a his lordship's arrival, a welcome as enthu- Dut
siastic announced the coming of the Lord thel
5 Bishop of the Diocese, the Rt. Rev. Dr. obe,
O'Hea, a Prelate who by a singular coinci- onl
i dence, enjoys also an ancestral prestige and
among his people, besides those sentiments plr
n of personal affection and respect which Gre
5 they entertain towards him. The cere- Uni
Lt mcny of dedication, performed according libE
a to the solemn formula of the Church, was aba
e opened with a procession, headed by the the
g female children of the parish, neatly garb- (ap
Sed in white. These interesting little crea- ree
tortrs, marshalled by the senior children of In I
Is the schools, carried banners brightly wec

iogu- would only have to walk over the track as
ig all he did was hardly foreseen. When the

liverd in Mullinger after his election: The pub
principle pre-eminently on which I mean
to fight this battle-if battle there be, and Pi
I am ready for it-is that of self-govern- t

the reintegration and acknowledgment of anni
the ancient constitution of this kingdom- ther
the constitution founded in 1541, declared
in 1041 and 1689, and enforced from 1782 m7
to 1800-the coustisution of Grattan and
the Volunteers, based on the dogma "that of
no power on earth has a right to makelaws tioi
for Ireland except the King, Lord and
Commons of Ireland" (cheers). The first in
jurists of this country hold that the con- g
stitution still lives (hear hear). The fga
Union has overlaid and endangered that toi
constitution, but it has not extinguished it
(cheers). It still lives, as, despite the pici
Union. there still lives that one grand vir- on
tue-the virtue of patriotism, the senti- rn
meat of nationality, which with all the are
chicanery of her laws and all the might of eth
her armies, England could never uproot her
from the Irish breast (hear, hear). Impelled ofr
by its holy influences, many of our brave tho
forefathers proudly ascendqd the scaffold, the

despite coercion, the spirit of nationality
lives and burns in thejland as bright as gra

r TIIE TOWN HtOARD,, ;tALW\AY. b
' From the Vindicator of the 21st of June f
,rd we extract the following interesting itens: :
i" We look upon the appointment of Mr.
ine George Morris as chairman of the Town I
Board, as the commencemencement of a new lI
J era in our municipal government. For h
n-many years back the chairmanship of the
Town Commissioners was a fixed position ;
Ao and whoever would propose to name a suc
A cessor to the occupant of the place, would
by be supposed to cast some slight upon the
el, efficiency or competency of the gentleman
who held the chair. This was the cause of
om the public disrepute into which the Town
do, Board unfortunately feel. There was no
the career of public usefulness open to the
th- other members of the Board, which, from
a at this circumstance, lost its corporate char
gh - acter, as well as the popularity and pres
sug tigo that should attach to it. No one felt
with this more than Mr. Perase himself, to whom
great credit is duo for hating accepted the
e position, at a time when feowgentlemen of
his high standing in the town would have
cred taken it. Notwithstanding the difficulties
rf a under which Mr. Perase labored,he resiagned
the office of chairman of the Town Com
missioners under circumstances very cred
ET- itablo to himself. During his term of
'It;L office the waterworks were constructed
with which his name will be associated for
r. '. all future time; and he was the promoter
asent of the now factory which has given so
I he much employment in the town. lie has
ok as been anxious for some time to resign, and
the was one of the first to suggest that the
s ar- chairman of the Board of Town Commis
| na- sioners, like the lMayor of a city, should
losed be changed every year. By the unanimity
and with which M1r. Morris was elected a very
nger, high compliment has been laid him, and
t the: iwe elie..e it will ,e found that the right
man has been put in the right -place, and
that at the end of his year of office we
shall be able to congratulate him upon

THE POPE'S JUDILEB IN TIPPERARY.
For some time past it has been in con
templation to have a bonfire and fireworks
here in commemoration of the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the reign of our Holy Fa
ther, Pius IX., and for that purpose, at a
meeting, a committee composed of about
twelve persons was formed for the purpose
of collecting subscriptions in furtherance
of the object. The committee were un
tiring in their exertions until a suitable
amount was collected, all of which was
given with a cheerful heart. Having en
gaged the services of a Dublin professional
to conduct the fire-works, and the evening
being fine everything came off under aus
picious circumstances. Thousands of the
"Gallant Tips" assembled in their might
on their own old historic hills to show
reverence and obedience to their Father on
earth, and to enter their protest against
the Infidel King of Italy and his robbing
hordes. About 8 o'clock P. sr. on the 1Gtlh
of June a huge bonfire was lighted, and
thousands began to wend their way toward
the hills, until 10 o'clock 1.. t., w!he the
multitude was at its highest. D:-ring
which time the professional, aided by P.m,,
amateurs, were preparing their diej±!sya o.
fireworks which commenced about l r. x..
and lasted until 1 A. Si. The wtl:l.,' [.ro
gramme was efl'ected iin the most t.: lerly
manner, and reflects glreat credit ,:,. the,
committee. especially Mr. William Ii I:ley.
who seemed to be the principal actuor
throughout. The lateness of the i.Lr at
whichl tile fireworks commenced prevented
many from being in attendance who other
wise would, as the air was getting co:d and
the dew falling fast. The Tipperary brass
band took up a prominent place on the hills
and played at intervals an excellent silee
tion of national airs.

he OCONNELL AND ISAAC ILUTT.
an A correspondent has kindly furnished L
of with the following extract from the speech
wn made by O'Connell at the Corporation me t
no ing in March, 1843, on Repeal of the Union :
the "Alderman Butt challenged me to discus'
om repeal. I must say his speech disp':-yii
ar- considerable power. 1 always knew ::
as- to be a man of a very high order of n:te:
felt lect and it is easy to perceive that, ovnc
tom in the mistaken career he is pursuing. 1
the never heard a man make more of c. `,ad
a of cause than he did, and it was nothing but
ave the weight of that cause that sunk downi
ties his mighty intellect, and preventeu him
ned making an adequate reply. I don't meau,
am- to, norcould I,depreciate his good qualities.
red- I respect talent in every person, but these
of was one thing in his address I followed
nted with a microscopic eye; I watched to stk.
for if he would say anything that would com
oter mit himself against repeal, or being tie
so friend of repeal hereafter, and I have thie
has satisfaction to tell you that Alderman Lu:
and is as free to support repeal, if he shot!d
the think fit so to do, as I am. A man of hi
nis- great genius must have had some yearn::i:
mld for his native land, and though the tierd
nity Ireland may not sound as musical i:. ',lI
rery ear as in mine, it has in his private cat
and its charms for him (cheers). Depend io:
