Captain Otway also declared himself “ in favour of the education o f the people being under the guidance and direction o f the Clergy of their respective dedominations, and o f perfect equality for all religious sects, in accordance with the A c t of 1829.” l i e also referred to his character as a resident landlord, and to the good feeling between himself and the tenantry on his estate, and said: — “ I will give my most strenuous support to any measure calculated to bring about a similar state o f affairs throughout the country generally, and to secure to the occupiers full remuneration for any permanent improvements they may make upon their holdings." On February 14, Mr. Moore issued a second address in the following terms :— “ Since the publication o f my address o f tbe 11th instant, I have been requested to be more explicit on some points. “ I beg to say that my principles are those o f the National Association. “ I pledge myself to support in Parliament the three following measures, viz : “ Compensation to improving tenants, the disendowment o f the Established Church in Ireland, and freedoom o f education for all demominations: and I further pledge inyeelf to act in opposition to any Administration which will not promote one, at least, o f the two measures first mentioned.” j forwarded the following telegram to Clonmel |The O ’Donoghue, Dublin, to W . L. Hackett, Esq., Clonmel. “ I have just seen Mr, Gill’s speeeh. A ll his state! ments which have reference to mo are U N FOUNDED! ¡The 105 consisted of 61. due as my subscription to the Advocate, and in addition 45, which a long time since was placed in my hands for Mr. Gill by a few o f the Nenagh clergymen.” I t will been seen by our Irish intelligence that the show o f hands was in favour o f Mr. Gill. The poll took place on Monday, and on Wednesday the official declaration o f the High Sheriff was — Mr. Moore Mr. Gill 2134 909 Majority for Mr. Moore . . 1225 This election for Tipperary is one of the most significant events that have occurred in Irish politics for years. The Clonmel Chronicle speaks o f Mr. Gill, as o f “ One occupying a very humble status,— we might add, little worthy o f consideration at tbe hands of the respectable and constitutional inhabitants o f Tipperary,” and it says, that it was impossible for the Conservatives to support him, for his “ antecedents precluded any possibility of either a direct or an indirect association with his candidature, and he was left to combat alone, almost penniless, against a millionaire j and the protegee o f certainly one o f the most respected o f the Roman Catholic Bishops of Ireland.” On February 17th the Archbishop of Cashel, the Most Rev. Dr. Leahy, held a conference at Thurles with theCatholic Clergy at which the following resolutions were adopted :— “ That the only true course o f policy open to the friends of Ireland to adopt, is to return to Parliament a body of representatives who will not attach them selvet to either Whigs or Tories, but hold themselves independent o f both, and oppose any and every party that will not concede to this country those measures o f justice for which the National Association has been established.” 11That a vacancy in the represent ition o f the County o f Tipperary having occurred by the retirement o f The O ’Donoghue, and Mr. Charles Moore, of Mooresfort, having adopted to the fullest extent tho programme o f the National Association, we recommend him to the Liberal electors o f Tipperary as that one o f the two candidates alone worthy o f their choice.” “ That we promise to Mr. Moore our influence and most strenuous support at the forthcoming election.” These resolutions were signed >J< Patrick Leahy, Archbishop o f Cashel, Chairman; John Ryan and John O ’Dwyer, Secs. And the Tipperary Free Press says of them :— “ A great deal has been written and spoken o f 1Clerical dictation,’ and the efforts made by the Tory press to exeito discontent on account o f the meetinir convened by his Grace the Archbishop o f Thurles, have, wo regret to say, been successful to no inconsiderable extent. Many honest, true-hear.ed men have been led away by this device, and proclaimed that they voted against Mr. Moore, not because they deemed his opponent a more fitting object o f choice, but because they would not be dictated to in the exercise of a prerogative which should unquestionably be free and unfettered. “ I t would undoubtedly have been more prudent if the leading members of tbe laity were represented on that occasion; but when we come seriously to consider the resolutions thon adopted, it will he found that, so far from attempting any “ dictation,” the Clergymen placed on record sentiments that do them honour, and opinions that will be backed by a large majority of the people of Tipperary.’’ Captain Otway withdrew, we forget on what day, and it was announced that Mr. Peter Gill, o f the Tipperary Advocate, would contest the county with Mr. Moore, the Archbishop, and the Clergy. Mr. Peter Gill is, we believe, the Lditor of the Tipperary Advocate, and came prominently before the public two or three years ago as one o f the associates of Tbe O ’Donoghue, on the occasion o f an address of admiration to the late Archbishop o f New York, which The O ’Donoghue, and Mr. Gill, and some others, presented ; and to which the Archbishop replied, but which he afterwards repudiated, being informed by somebody that his admirers were members o f the Brotherhood of St. Patrick, or sornc Society o f that sort. And yet this man penniless and friendless had the show o f hands in his favour, and actually polled 909 votes: while out o f the 8,870 voters o f Tipperary only 2,134 recorded their votes in favour o f the candidate who had the support o f the Archbishop of Cashel, o f the Catholic Clergy, o f the New Association, and o f The O ’Donoghue. As to The O ’Donoghue, his opposition to Mr. Gill ought ( i f there were any use in speaking o f what ought to bo in such matters) to damage him immensely in the eyes o f his own admirers among the N ationalists. Certainly Mr. Moore is a far better man to be a member of Parliament than Mr. Gill, but then Mr. MTvenna is also a far better man to be a member o f Parliament than The O ’Donoghue. I f it was proper to keep Mr. Gill out of Tipperary in favour o f Mr. Moore, it would surely have been still more proper to keep The O ’Donoghue out o f Tralee in favour o f Mr. M ’ Kenna. I t is clear to us that The O ’Donoghue ought either to have supported the Nationalist candidate for Tipperary, Mr. Gill, or not to have opposed the Loyalist candidate for Tralee. I t is a pity that his untimely cold at Clonmel prevented The O ’Donoghue from entering into a justification o f his conduct for the satisfaction of all Nationalists. __ Iu all the reports o f the funeral of the late Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster the name o f the Most Rev.Dr. Cullen,Archbishop o f Dublin, appeared, as present in the pro-cathedral, and as filling a place in one o f the mourning coaches. The reporters were in error, as His Grace was in Ireland at the time. A t a meeting o f the Committee for carrying out the proposed testimonial to His Eminence the late Cardinal Archbishop, held at the house of the Right Hon, Lord Petre, on Thursday the 2nd inst., present: —The Viscount Feilding, Viscount Campden, Lord Petre, Hon. Charles Langdale, Sir Robert Gerard, Bart., Sir George Bowyer, Bart., M .P ., Sir Charles Clifford, The Count De Torre Diaz, Mr. Serjeant Bellasis, Theodore Galton, Esq., and the following Clergy •—The Very Rev. Canon O ’Neal, V .G ., Right Rev. Provost Manning, D .D . , Very Rev. Monsignor Searle, Very Rev. Canon Oakeley, Very Rev. Canon Morris, Rev. J . L. Patterson ; LORD PETRE in the Clhiir, I t was resolved,— “ 1. That Lord Petre, Monsignor Manning, and the Rev. J . L. Patterson, be appointed a committee to communicate with Signor Brugo as to the terms o f arrangement with him in respect to the Chalice and other articles ordered from him as a testimonial,” , “ 2. That the testimonial intended for His Eminence the late Cardinal Archbishop should be converted into a memorial.” “ 3. That before anything is determined upon, a larger meeting of Catholics shall bo held to consider the nature of the proposed memorial.” On Mr. Gill coming forward, it was stated in the papers, that a resolution had been passed by his supporters at Nenagh, calling on The O ’Donoghue to come to his assistance. The O ’Donoghue did come to Clonmel, but when there, he avowed himself a supporter o f Mr. Moore, and though he did not appear on the hustings at the nomination, the Rev. Air. Power read the following letter from him :— u M y dear Dillon,— I am sorry that I cannot be with you on the hustings, hut you know any attempt on my part at speaking is quite impossible, owing to the severe cold from which I am suffering. As you are aware, 1 was recommended by my medical adviser not to leaveDublin, but so anxious was I to support the Archbishop that I eame down. “ I have urged upon Mr. Gill in tbe most solemn manner to retire from the contest, not to oppose himself to Mr. Moore, who I am sure will bo a most useful representative, and the chosen o f tho Archbishop and people.” But when it came to Mr. Gills turn to speak, he declared that The O ’Donogbue had give him a 10L note towards his election expenses, and had told him that he (O ’Donoghue) had come down to Clonmel to support him (G ill). This was a c h a r g e w h i c h , i f substantiated, would put The O ’Donoghue >nto much the same position as the Very Rev. Mr. awe, 1 .P . 0f Tralee. But the Tipperary Free P r e s s s a y s that on reading the report o f Mr. Gill's speech, U Donoghue “ 4. That a meeting be called accordingly at the Stafford Club, on Thursday, the 16th o f March, at half-past 2 o’clock, to take the subject into consideration.” “ 5. That the proposed meeting be advertised in tbe London Catholic,papers without delay.” It was also suggested, and generally concurred in, that the building of a Cathedral for the Archdiocese o f Westminster would be a suitable mode o f commepioration, but that this, and all other matters relating to the subject, would be better deferred to the proposed more general meeting. The Literary Executors of His Eminence the late Cardinal Wiseman, seeing that many tributes o f reverence and affection to his memory have been advertised iri the form o f memoirs or biographical sketches, thinlf it their duty to state that as yet no memoir ba3 been or can be compiled from the documents in their possession. I t is their hope without delay to make preparations for an authentic “ Life.” J r H. E. MANNING. WILLIAM THOMPSON. 8, Y ork Place, March 2nd. 1865. The Verv Rev. Father Coffin, of St. Mari’s, Clapham, will be for a tinio absent from St. Mary’s ; he started for Roma on Thursday last for a temporary residence iu the Holy City. ; __x 4 dFutiag’g Netos. N ew Y o r k , Feb. 18.— General Grant reports to Mr. Stanton this evening that to-day’s Richmond 'Dispatch says. Sherman entered and took possession of Columbia yesterday morning. General Beauregard communicated this intelligence officially yesterday. From his despatch it appears the Federáis shelled Columbia on Thursday from the south bank of the Congaiee. During the night they moved up the river, and on the following morning forded the Solada and Broad Rivers. During the Federal passage of these rivers Beauregard evacuated Columbia. The Federáis soon after took possession. Two days previously, when it was decided not to attempt the defence of Columbia, a large quantity of medicinal stores were destroyed. The Dispatch presumes that the fall of Columbia will necessitate the evacuation of Charleston, which the Dispatch thinks has already commenced. The general impression is that Sherman will now proceed to Charleston, to establish his base, but the Dispatch does not see what need he has of a base. He subsists on the country, and his army has not been exhausted by any battle. Since he left Savannah, Sherman declared his intention to march to Columbia, thence to Augusta, and thence to Charleston. This Beauregard considers was uttered as a boast to hide his designs. The Dispatch thinks he will next strike at Charleston or at Florence. It was reported yesterday that the Federáis had captured Augusta, but the Dispatch discredits it . The Charleston Mercury announced a temporary suspension on Saturday, with the view to its removal to another point, this being deemed necessary by the progress of military events. Captain Semmes has been made a rear-admiral, with the command of the James River squadron. Q uebec, Feb. 17.—The House in committee has sanctioned the appropriation of 330,000 dollars for the expenses of the arrangements on the frontier to prevent raids. It has also appropriated 50,000 dollars on account of the money refunded to the United States in tbe case of the St. Albans raiders. N ew Y o rk , Feb. 18.—The New York journals publish advices from Vera Cruz stating ihat fighting continued in the interior of Mexico between the Juarists and Imperialists. It is also asserted that there is an annual deficit in the Mexican Treasury o f 20,000,000' dels. Pakis, March 2.—Official despatches received here from Mexico announce that General Bazaine has completed the investment of Ojaca. It is expected that the army of Porfirio Diaz will not be able to escape. The Patrie of this evening positively contradicts the news published by the Estafette of Mexico, stating that * a column of the French expeditionary corps had been / repulsed by the Mexican troops. R io d e J an e ir o , Feb. 8.—The Brazilian army is besieging Monte Video, which, it is believed, will be shortly taken. The army of Paraguay continues its inarch through the province of Matto Grosso, which is left, undefended. It has taken the towns of Corumha and Albuquerque, and captured a Brazilian gun-boat. IM P E R I A L P A R L I A M E N T . In the House of Commons, on Thursday, Mr. Baines stated that it was his intention to postpone the second read*t ing of the Borough Franchise Extension Bill from the 5tli of April to the 3rd of May. On tho motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. H. J. Baillie raovod the appointment of a select committee to inquire whether her Majesty’s ships are at present armed in a manner suited to the necessities and requirements of modern warfare. Sir J. Hay seconded the motion, and bore In's testimony that our ships were so badly armed that they could not bo regarded as competent to defend themselves against the navies of Europe or America. The Marquis of Hartington contended that inquiries so recently and fully made rendered it unnecessary to appoint a committee to reopen the subject. The labours of the ordnance committee were now approaching a close, and although he did not imagine that it would be aide to decide every disputable point, it would be most premature to embark largely in a system of construction or rifling until it was known what the views of that committee were. He could not see, then, considering our resources as a manufacturing country, and that we were constructing guns as fast as they were required, that there was any ground for serious alarm. Lord C. Paget said government were engaged in making 200 six-and-a-lialf ton seven-inch rifle guns. That gun had within the last few weeks pierced the Warrior through and through at 200 yards, and he felt confident that it would be carried on our broadsides. Eventually he had no doubt they would be able to carry the 12-ton guns all round the ship ; but we had not arrived at that point yet. The Admiralty had addressed a requisition to the War Office to supply them with as many 12-ton guns as they had ships to carry them, and these would be furnished to the Agincourt, Northumberland, Bellerophon, Royal Alfred, Prince Albert, and Scorpion. But if he were asked whether the fleet would then be armed as he wished to see it he should unhesitatingly say that it would not. They were also manufacturing a large number of six-and-a half ton, nine-ton, and twelveton guns In readiness for rifling, as soon as the ordnance committee had reported which was the best system. The house havingdivided, the motion of Mr. Baillie was negatived by 57 to 22. The select committee on the taxation of Ireland was, on tho motion of Mr. Hennessy, reappointed, and, at the instance of Sir Stafford Northcote, the order of reference was enlarged so that the committee might inquire into the system upon which advances aro made and repayments required by the Imperial Government, for drainage and other works of public utility in Ireland. On the motion of Mr. Cardwell, leave was given to bring in a bill to enable her Majesty’s colonial possessions to make better provision for maritime defence. 1 he right lion, gentleman explained that tho object of the measure was to extend the principle of the r°y*Y naval reserve of this country to all the maritime colonies of the empire, and to enable therm to combine for self-defence. An. explosion of gas place on Tuesday evening in Saville House, Leicestcr-square—a house forming a conspicuous feature in the London of the early Georgian era, but lately degraded into billiard-rooms poses plastiques, &c. which set fire to the premises. tlm conflagration consumed tho greater part of t h e building and all that it contained. Fortunalely no lives were lost. u.he of the flames illuminated tho sky to a great distance. I he Prince of Wales paid a visit to thescene of the fire, and watched the efforts made for its sub ugation with evident interest.—Standard. n
