ROrs, July 1.-Tbe following is the an
swer made by Hhi Holiness to the Address b
laid at his feet in the name of the Irish in el
Rome, by Count de la Poor, M.P., D.L.: "
"' It Is a great consolation to Me tosee My- h
self surrounded by the good Irish.-- Yesi!
Ireland has given continued proof of her oc
love, respect, and filial attachment to the to
Vicar of Jesus Christ, she has assisted of
Him also liberally, with an open laund* gen- at
erously and untiringly. This is due prin- as
cipally to her Faith, which she has known el
how to maintain intact in the midst of si
long sufferings, assisting also largely to u
preserve it in England and Scotland. To ti
preserve this Faith, your Episcopacy, uni- fc
ted and compact, labored assiduously, and rn
your clergy fought with seal and courage o0
the battles of the Lord, and the fruit of F
this unshaken fortitude was the dawn of
the greater liberty you enjoy to-day. This at
Faith by your labors has spread itself all at
over the world. You speak of St. Colom- g
bo, one of your illustrious Apostles; Well, ti
let me recall a trait of that ancient Faith s;
of which he was the master and example. t,
Whilst the enemy was besieging the walls
of his monastery, he collected here and a
there the relics of Saints which he placed tl
on them, that they might be their defence, T
and the besiegers terrified, did not dare to P
advance or to assail walls consecrated by it
the venerable relies of holy men. A simil- D
ar fact occurred in Italy. When St. Clare it
saw her Assisi surrounded by Saracen inva- hi
ders she caused not relics, but the Body of of
the Lord Himself to be brought, that He n
might be protector of.the monastery and
of His daughters. The freebooters blind
ed and disheartened by God, precpitated
themselves from the walls and fled ignom
iniously. I pray to the Lord that this
Faith, the greatest of His gifts, and the
foundation of all others, may return and it
reign in this world. And now I bless you rI
all with my whole heart; your bodies, your
souls, your substance, your whole island, E
that.God may preserve you from all evil, p
may protect you-in all time,and in the last C
moment of your lives, that you may gain 3
a happy eternity."- 8
The Irish are de.ligl'ted with their audi
ence. No wonder: the Holy Father left
nothing undone on His part to -show how
he honors them. All the state He can sur
round Himself with was brought forward
on this occasion. The highest cardinals
in Rome were present in their robes, along
with several bishops and Monsignori, the
Minister of War, and several other person
ages of distinction, and the Irish boast
with a just pride that amongst them there
Swas not one individual who was not thor
'-oughly devoted to His Holiness and His
caus*e.
The Pope's reply to the Dutch delega- t
tion was fall of tender love for and gratitude
to the people of Holland, especially for d
having sent so many of "her good sons to
defend the Church and the Holy See.."
Twelve volumes. containing 600,000 sig
natures, the enormous sum of £28,000 0
sterling in gold and many private offerings a
were then laid at His feet by the members
of the deputation.
The Holy Fathe.r was never in better °
health; he seems likely to see His fiftieth a
year as Pope as he has already done as t
priest.
On 88. Peter and Paul His Holiness said
Mass in the Sistine Chapel at quarter-past 1
7, and gave Holy Communion to about fifty a
ladies. Three little girls had the honor of
receiving for the first time the Bread of
Life from the hands of the Vicar of Christ.
His Holiness received also this week the
congratulations of 300 Roman artists, who
deposited at His feet various objects pro
duced especially for His Jubilee.
He also granted a speelal audience to the
students of the foreign colleges here. Be
sides receiving several deputations from
several towns in Italy, one of 100 ladles
from Turin was singular from the coinci
dence that the,lady.who read the. Address
to His Holiness was sister to the first Ital
ian officer who entered Rome by the breach
of the Ports Pia.
On the 28th, the French Ambassador,
Count d'Harcourt had a very long audience
in private with lisa Holiness, of which as
yet nothing has oozed out. It was said a
spelial courier had brought a letter from
Thiers the evening before. I now hear
that the French Ambassador has left for a
few days, so asto be absent when the King
enters. Tbis, and the studied departure
of the Count de Choiseul, the accredited
Ambassador to the King of Italy, from
- Florence and not for Rome, seems ominous
to the Kingdom of Italy.
An article in the Liberia, implores the
to war with
a Power like France, that has a large army, t
while Italy has only a small one. a
We have free tickets and free quarters I
openly offered to all who wish to swell the C
welcomers of the miserable King of Italy
on to-plorrow.'~
It is the last desperate move on the t
board, and my opinion is that he will be b
checkmated. As be prophesied himself, p
"if forced to come to Rome, he comes for p
his own and his Ministers' rain." The g
reparations already made are miserable; £
ote cannot help feeling they would be bet- c
ter undone. It sounds very grand to hear b
of garlands of myrtle, laurel, etc., being t
suspended along the Corso, but when one I
sees the miserable piece of rope half cov- d
ered with withered green leaves, the illu- c
siOn gives place to absolute pity for the e
unfortunate monarch at whose triumphal t
t ntly a post of honor is especially reserved a
for the Freethinkers, whose political hat- a
red to him as king is second only to that 1
of their hatred for religion and the Holy t
Father as its Head.
Eight thousand pounds sterling not being a
sufficaient to produce fetes worthy of Rome
as capital of Italy, the Municipality have
given unlimited eredit, and issued invita
tions right and left to the municipalities, '
syndics, national guards, etc., of half the
towns in Italy.
If the Itmans had only the good sense
as well as honesty to abstain from flying
the tricolors as Princes Barberini and
Torlonia do, even the most bigoted anti
Papalini could not misrepresent-the -feel
ings of the people, but. when men like
Duke Salviati give the example by flaunt
ing one of the largest banners that can be t
had from his palace in the Corme, one can
only shrug their shoulders, and say "Ab C
ano disce omnes !"-London Begister.

THE RAID FOR ARMS AT MALLOW.
On Saturday morning the investigation
into the charge against the eleven men ar
rested in connection with this occurrence Is
was resnmed before Captain Coote and Mr. C
Eaton, R.M.'s, at the County Court. The I
prisoners names are as follows : Robert 1
O'Sullivan, Cornelius P. O'Sullivan, Daniel t
McCarthy, Patrick Stack. James Coleman, I
Stephen Murphy, Timothy Doyle, David I
O'Brien, James LBarrett, John Mantle and [
Edmund McNamrtz. The only further evi- <
dence given was that of Mrs. Kenefick, in
whose house Daniel McCarthy lodged for I
some time, and who proved that he owned I
the box in which the three flasksof powder I
were found. Mr. Ross proved that he is- 1
sued a number of tickets for Mallow by the i
mail train on Saturday night, the 17th of 4
June. Constable Spencer, of Mallow, then I
deposed that the man "Keeffe, who, it will I
be recollected, was described on last day <
as an important witness, could not be I
found at his own house or anywhere else. i
Mr. S. Gillman, on the part of the Crown, I
then asked for the committal of the whole
of the prisoners for trial. After a lengthy I
discussion between the Court, Mr. Blake I
and Mr. Gilman, Mantle and Mcamara i
were discharged. O'Brien, Doyle and Bar- i
rett were remanded till Tuesday, being
allowed out on bail, themselves in £30and
two securities of £ 15 each. The other six
were remanded for trial, Murphy and Cash
man -being also abmitted to bail, them
selves in £40 and two securities of £20. 1
The bench refused to entertain the ques
tion of bail in regard to C. P. O'Sullivan, 1
R. O'Sullivan, D. McCarthy or Stack, till
Tuesday, when they would all be brought I
before them. The court was crowded da
ring the hearing of the cases. The investi
tiation was resumed on Tuesday. Mr.
Gillman Crown Solicitor, stated that Keffe,
an important witness, who had been keep
ing out of the way, had been found that
day by the police. A further adjournment
was applied for, Mr. Gillman not being
prepared to go on with the case, The
magistrates postponed the investigation till
Saturday, again admitting the five prison
ers to bail.--Dublin Nation, July 8.
TIHE [MULLAGH EXTERMINATION.
a A meeting attended by upward of 20,000
people, was held at the hill of Mullagh on
the 29th Jone, to protest against the evic
tion, by Mr. Kenna, of a number of solvent
and industrious tenants whose case has
e now been for some time before the publice
a It appears that every effort has been made
a by people of various creeds and conditions
a to induce'this person to surrender his,
r "pound of flesh" for the sake of Christian
a charity, but withont the least avail. The
g chair was taken by the Rev. Mr. Dunean,
e P.P. Trim, who in the tcourse of a telling
d speech reminded the audience that Kenna
a was not one of the hereditary landlords of
is the country, but one who had risen from
the present classwho so frequently become
ppressors when they are possessed of
a toWhieh they have been unaccus
tomed. The Rev. Mr. Tormey proposp
and the Rev. Dean Cogan seconded, a rew
lution protesting against the idea of M1:
Gladstone's Land Bill having afforded ade
quaste protection to the tenants of Ireland.
The Rev. M. Tormey expressed his belief
that the Conservative landlords were the
best in Ireland. Mr. John Martin, M.P., et
pressed his grattification at seeing the peo
ple assemble in such multitudes, under the
guidance of their faithful priests, to de
fend their rights. Mr. P. J. Smyth, M.P.
called attention to a paragraph that had
been insertedr at the request of Kenna, ia
the IriA 2.mes of the 6th of February
last, stating that there was no intention to
disturb the tenants at Mullagh, the effet
of which was to induce the poor people to
crop the lands from which they were now
to be evicted without compensation. Sev
eral other gentlemen having addressed the
meeting, a committee was formed for the
protection of the tenantry, which included
the names of the Very Rev. Dr. Nicoll0
.'.G., and other clergymen of the diocese
and several of the country magistrates.
-y, - RAXCE AND IRELAND.
A fact which has come to our knowledge
will interest all Irishmen who sympathise
with suffering France. Mr. John Daly
Mayor of Cork, has just passed throc
Dublin on his returp from a visit to P
and Versailles. The citizens of Cork,
common, with the rest of Ireland, gave
generously to France in hebar hor of need,
and it is impossible to imagine the depth
of French gratitude to Ireland for the
friendly hand extended and the kind words
uttered in the hour ot France's bitterest
trial. On Mr. Daly's official position be
coming known, he was treated with the
most marked and flattering attention by the
Government at Versailles. He and his
chaplain, ttl Rev. Mr. Galvin, C.C., were
invited to a iplendid reception given by
M. Thiers to tie leading members of the
Corps Diplomatigue and ether persons of
distinction. A similar honor was conferred
on them by the amiable and beautiful con
isort of Marshal MacMahon. The Duchess
of Magenta, who is of Irish descent and
speaks English with remarkable purity, re
ceived them in the kindest and most flat
tering manner, assuring them that France
never would forget her obligations to Ire
land. They subsequently had an interview
with the Marshal aimself. The gallant sol
diqr looks strong and well, and his iron
odstatitution appears to be unimpaired by
his recent toils, wounds and privations.
Marshal MacMahon alsoreceived them most
kindly, alluded in touching terms tol his
Irish descent, and to his interest in what
he termed the "dear old country." it1
expressed, in terms ot equ trengthl, the
gratitude of France to poor Ireland tf.r its
generous sympathy at a time when the rest
of the world looked on her sufferings with
apathy or pleasure. After a most pleasing
interview, the visitors took their leave of
the gallant Marshal. They were treated
with the most profound attention by every
person connected with the Government,
aud it is impossible to exaggerate the feel
ing of regard entertained by all parties in
France for the Irish people. Blood is
thicker than water
OneTn name. and one in fame,
Are the ,ea41ividad Gael.
It will be interesting to those about to
visit Paris to learn that the city has never
been cheaper. A bedroom in the Hotel de
Louvre, which at other times is seven
francs, is now only five francs, and so on
in proportion. The extent of ruin in Paris
itself is not so great as would be auticipa
ted, save in the public buildings, but the
aspect of what was once the gayest city in
the world is inconceivably triste and mel
ancholy.-Dmblin Freeman.
ST. PATRICK'S COLLEGE, TIIURLES.
On Saturday last, the 24th inst., his
Grace, the Most Rev. Dr. Leahy, Arch
bishop of Cashel, conferred the minor
orders on several students of St. Patrick's
College, Thurles. The following is a list
of the young ecolesiaytics recommended to
his Grace and to their respective bishops
for promotion to minor and holy orders:

THE LATE JOIDN EDWARD PIGOT, ELDEST
SON oP CHIEF BABON PIGOT..
The remains of this amiable, highly gift
ed and much lamented gentleman were
consigned to their last resting place. in
Glasnevin Cemetery, on Tuesday morning,
July 4th. In toe funeral procession were
to be recognized men of the highest posi
tion in soeiety, who knew the deceased and
held him in the highest estimation, because
bf the many virtues which adorned his
character. The deceased was known to a
wide circle, and by all "t whom he was
known be was loved and respected. He
exercised a great inflauene in society, for
his accomplishments were varied anda.log
high order.:Although he had neverfigured
rminently as a politician, ha e a.doa
Srthen any man Lwho has
lived since Davis to give form and strength
to the national aspirations of the country.
He was a singularly high minded and hon
orable man, and is eminently worthy of
being enrolled in the category of Irish pas
triots. The funeral procession moved a
few minutes after nine o'clock from the
residence of the Lord Chief Baron, Merrl
on Square, East. His Lordship was so
bowed down with affliction that he was up
able to accompany to the grave the re
mains of his dearly beloved son. All the
judges as present in Dublin attended; the
clergy were largely represented; and mem
bers of the literary and artistic societies
were present in great numbers.-Freemasn.
oUk sEA COAST FISHERIES.
Some time since we called attention to
the hardships suffered by our poorer fish
ermen and the loss sustained by the coun
try generally owing to the absence of all
aid in the development of our sea-coast
fisheries. We are very glad to note that a
bill to amend the law has been brought oin
by Mr. Downing, the Marquis of Hamilton,
jord Sr. Lawrence and Colonel Vandeleur.
They propose that the Treasury shall ad
vance to the inspectors a sum not exceed
ing in any one year £5000. This money
tihe inspectors may lend on surety at three
per cent. per annum to fishermen for build
ing, purchasing, or repairing boats, gear,
curing-houses, harbors, slips, piers, etc.
The loans may extend over ten years; and
bills, bonds. etc., shall be free from stamp
duty. When the inspectors discover that
the loan has been misapplied, they "can
compel the borrower to repay the money
and 5 'per cent. interest. The inspectors
may make such rules and regulations as
they consider. will.best enable the provis
ions of this act to be carried out. We sin
cerely trust the Irish members will make
strenuous efforts to carry the bill through
this session.-Dublia F.reeman.
AN AMERICAN INVASION.
During the last fortnight large numbers
of yonng people of both sexes, but princi
pally females, have returned from America
to visit their friends in the old country,
and it is now no unusual thing to see the
fashions of Broadway " figuring" at our
country chapels. The visitors express no
intention of remaining, bt, as if by ar
rangement, they were seized with an un
controlable desire of seeing old friends and
scenery, and have carried it out. They in
tend returning at an early day, in most
cases accompanied bagk to the States by
friends and relatives. They are generally
well provided with fdnds, and present an
appearance and bearing of which Ireland
may well feel proud. We need scarcely
say that if anything were needed to give a
fresh impetus to emigration it has been
this visiting of relatives from beyond the
seas. An old bachelor says the girls have
'.come over to get Irish husbands, which
my possibly have been the case in many
instaneees.- saonA Messenuger.
MORE VACANCIES44 PgLIAMENT-IIOME

Besides the vacancy of Monaghan, which
Mr. Butt will probably All, two seats are
now said to be open to the representation
of Ireland. A telegram received yesterday
-announces a vacancy in Galway County,

his friends, the Whigs, by an appointment

ORARGaIa.
The Orange anniversary of the lst of
July has passed over in Ireland with com
parative quiet. The 'Oranmemen were not
so violent or so voclfertusln the manifes
tation of their bad spirit that dsy, as on
all former occasions. Derry was. ot this
year the scene of riot and bloodshed and
in other parts of Ulster the aniiary
fraternity were much better behaved thbn
usual. Of coaure, nobody expected that
the day would pass off without an Orange
outrage somewhere, and in Lua the
Oranemen did pake an illegal istils ,
did pay party apes, did exhibit party oel
ors, and did b k peace. The resist
ed and routed the police, and set the mag
istrates and their proclamation at defiance.
We have not heard that the Orangemen
committed murder or wrecked houses on
the let July, 1871. That is an event to be
remembered.

STROKESTOWN CATHOLIC CmmHURCH.
We are glad to perceive that the above
church (commenced some years ago by the
late Dean McDermott) has been completed
in a superior style by the present worthy
pastor, Very Rev. P. Kelly, P. P., V. F.
The interior decorations of the building
are very fine, whilst the exterior presents
an imposing appearance. A large cross, of
the old Irish type, surmounts the front of
the edifice, and though, from the immense
height at which it stands, it would seem
not of remarkable size, still it is over six
feet high. On the whole there can be no
doubt that few churches-at least in small
country towns, can be got to surpass that
of Strokestown in extent and beauty.
