FATHER LARKIN.

Father Larkin, of Ballinasloe is mentioned as contractor for building

a very extensive barracks, to be crected in the town of Mud Island, near the city of Dublin, for the purpose of preventing the Dairy men lately imported from Wicklow, of carrying on the Hardware business of Pike making, to the prejudice of the Sheffield cutlers, the happy connexion, and to the existence of order in church & state,so happily established, at the glorious revolution, by the Dutch patron saint of the Priest killers, of Mountrath. Father Garret, during his absence on this business, has it in contemplation to appoint his friend Barney the clyster Engineer his agent, to receive all the cows in the dispensary of Ballinasloe, and all fees and rents payable by said cows, during their temporary entertainment, until they resume their travels to their English destination. Father Garret has registered a vow he made with Barney, by which he engages if the Mud Island works are productive, to build a handsome steeple and belfrey on the parish Chapel of their native town. This act of piety, has been read to the hungry congregation on last Sunday and produced as much joy, as if they were entertained with the novel amusement of seeing an Orangeman executed for killing a mere Irishman.

ENNISKILLEN PAPIST KILLERS.

At the late assizes of Enniskillen, the murderers of the boy Mourvour. nagh were tried and all acquited. The defence tet up, (for a defence, was acted on the occasion to give a decent appearance to things,) that some persons fired musket shots, but the Jury did not believe that the men accused, were the shooters who killed the boy. It appears from this trial, as it uniformly did heretofore on the frequent trials of this description, that only Orangemen are minsquet men, because it never appears that

Papists shoot, for one evident reason because the law and the English made Gentlemen, will not allow any mere Irishman to have arms. If equal justice were administered, why should not murder be prevented on one side, as it is on the other? The prescribed Papist never shoots as he dare not have shooting materials, nor would the Orangeman shoot if he were subject to the like interduction. Therefore the boasted equality of rights, is absurd, because no man is murdered but a Papist, and no man commits murder but an Orangeman ; it would appear by the present order of things, that the game is one description, and the sportsmen another, and as the one is authorised to have arms, and the other is denied them, it is not the ruffian who shoots, that is the criminal, but those who furnishes him with the weapon.

"HELL OR CONNAUGHT."

The Orange committee of Papist killers, who were to be tried and unhanged a la Hall, at the late assizes of Cavan, have had the legal investigation put off to another day. This judicous arrangement enables the ex

terminators to continue to recruit the

American armies, and to increase the funds of the Northern grave diggers. Instead of going to Hell or Connaught,' according to the Orange statutes, enacted by the Bayonet Parliaments of Armagh, Enniskillen and Mountrath, the proscriled Idola o s, who are so fortunate as to escape the Musquet Judges, ship themselves for America, to get the bounty of sixteen dollars and 160 acres of land, given by Congress for marching to Quebec.

if a Catholic commits a murder he is exhorted in a bar sermon and hanged, this must be admitted is doing the Catholic justice. In hanging affairs, the Catholic has even more justice than the Orangeman, as the Orangeman murders Papists, and is never honoured by the justice of the law, if hanging is an act of justice, it is the Orangeman who has the best right to complain.

MOUNT HORISH.

Our riding house correspondnet assure us the ci de ven proprietor of the whipping establishment in Malborough-green, is, to the prejudice of his Magisterial functions, busily engaged preparing his new establishment, for the amusement of his fellow citizens. The pleasure walks are nearly completed, and the orchestra, gallery is ready for gilding. The singing hall has been tried by the vocal powers of Mr. Spray, who has declared the echo will be unparalleled, as soon as the croppy sculls, are in serted in the walls, to complete it, as quick as possible, the Orange Lodge, of which Mr. Rafferty is President, have agreed to bestow the silver mounted cup made of Mr. Wade's head, late of Rathfarnham, to expedite the works, but the stories maliciously fabricated that triangles and whips are to be in stucco orna. ments, in the breakfast and supper rooms, we are desired to say, are erro neous, as the proprietor is determined, that, no visible marks of such materials of Irish history, will be intro, duced, either to gratify the whipping visitors, or to frighten the whipped ones. They report that the portraits of Lord Charlemont, and his rival William Horish the Chimney sweeper were to be in fresco on the wal's. are also unfounded, as these two heroes, it is understood had previously agreed, they should never be in company e ther here, there, or hereafter. Hosh's picture is te remain as it ought

to be, on his own mantle piece in Pye Corner, and his noble friends in. Marino.

MR. BRADBURY.

The taste and judgment of the Irish public, appear to wear some degree of rationality in their notions of theatrical entertainments. They were so indifferent within the last fifteen years, about the manners of managers & their vagrants, that they submitted to the grossest contempt, with which those professors were in the habit of treat. ing audiences. Horses and ignorant tumblers were substituted for men, and genius, and instruction, were banished from the stage; a poney or a Bradbury were commanding full houses, where once a Barry or a Mossop charmed the ear of taste, apd improved the mind. The late benefit of Bradbury, justify us in saying the public delusion which gave to brutes, what should be given to men of genius, has partly disappeared. This benefit play produced not more than 130, which is 370, less than the one of the preceding season; Mr. Bradbury may storm and damn "the Hirish," for the declining value of his worth in their opinion, but, we hope, the polished Briton's indignation will not terrify the public, from withdrawing their patronage from the stage, until a more decent regard to their opinion shall drive horses, and two legged savages into their proper places, the stable or the workhouse. We know Mr. Jones must have an equal contempt for our judgment, as he has for our capacities, but, we ought to teach him by neglect of his mummery, that we have spirit and patriotism enough, to chastise a man who seeks our support, while he avowedly despises our taste. He has such a prevailing abhorrence of Irish ability, that, he would not entrust the meanet office on his stage to any native of this country, and so apparently conviuced at the degenerate condition of

Irish

Irish taste, that, he imports none of the beasts and vagrants of the favored country, but those whose capacities are of the cheapest kind. If our country and our feelings are to be the subject of sarcasm and obloquy, from the conscious power, which a monopoly of the stage places in one man, why hesitate in vindicating ourselves, by refusing to be the architects of his fortune, by leaving his house, his gang and troops, to the chastisement of empty benches.

KILLING OFF.

By a disposition manifested by two Colonels of Cavalry, since the Regent has been enabled to assume the intire powers of Government, it appears the Irish are not to be admitted in future into either of these two regiments. If this military excommunication unfortunately extends to the whole of the Army, it must defeat the object of Earl Grey, drawing off, or killing off, our superabundant population Though the Orangemen are recruiting rapidly in Ireland, Scotland and Eng: land, we are not afraid to say, that their entire numbers, or the most industrious application of their shooting system, cannot be equal to the killing off, to the extent required. They may diminish considerable quantities of our old Men, and Women, and Childten, but we warn them, not to sport with our Irish youth, least extermination should anticipate extermination. And as to the measure even were it carried to any extent, the domestic murderers cannot possibly accomplish the object to the necessary extent, as no system can compleat the object so radically as that of Foreign War and Foreign Climates.

DEATH OF TWO MISSIONARIES.

Two of the British Civilizers, who occasionally visit the country, in the character of Preachers, have lately departed this life. One of the name of Whiting, a man of great industry in

the Vine Yard, and of considerable eloquence, who was written down among the next batch of preaching Saints, for the conversion of the wild Irish, was stopped on his journey on the 19th of March, by the Hangman, of the County of Kent, and exe. cuted, having been convicted at the Assizes, of attempting to poison two boys, his brothers-in-law, by adminis tering sublimate in a pound of flower, which he gave them to eat as a pudding. At the place of execution he acknowledged his guilt, and preached a very well formed sermon, to a numerous assemblage of his former hearers, and many of his fellow labourers, to whom he recommended to prepare for the intended expedition to Ireland, for the purpose of destroying idolatry, and overturning the dominion of the beast mentioned in the Revelations.

The second Apostle, was a man, who for more than forty years, was the astonishment and pride of the new navigators to glory. He lived at Truro, in Cornwall, at the period which terminated his mortal mission, the 16th of February, but being apprehensive of a prosecution for the English vice, he thought it better to avoid the trou ble of a trial, and save the county the expences of judicial investigation, flung himself into the river, from whence his body was taken the next day. He left his hat and watch in good con dition on the banks of the stream, for the generous purpose of defraying the costs of his funeral.

CONVICTION OF MALEFACTORS.

The anxiety of the English, for the conviction of malefactors in their owa country, may be tolerably understood by the immense crowds that attended at Cambridge, on the 12th of March, for the purpose of hearing the trial of a man of the name of Dawson, charg ed with poisoning a horse. This af fectation of refinement of manners and abhorrence of cruelty, is ridiculous and

criminal

criminal. While the same good peo⚫ ple express not the least sentiment of horror at any of the frequent, and nymerous murders of the Irish peasantry, perpetrated by the Auglo Orange ex. terminators. Suffering horses call forward more English sympathy than snffering man. The Irish peasant continues to be considered of less value than an English brute. The monsters who betray or rau der us are patronised. Tom Reynolds. Captain Huddlestone, Shields, Browne, and Hall, have been promoted and sived, while the parents and children of the man they destroyed, are begging their bread, or beating the enemies of proud Britain. This perversion of religion and dominion, that justifies murder and vindicates brutes, that burns the cot, tage and protects the stable, is so gross and so vile, that we do not hesi tate to ɛay, vengeance from some quarter, must teach and punish the patrons of such unparalelled tyran

ny.

IRISH SOLDIERS.

In the English Parliament last month, it appeared in debate, that orders exist in particular regiments of cavalry, that no Irishmen should be admitted. The 10th, or Prince of Wales' Hussare, and the 15th, commanded by Mr. Giffards, intimate friend the Duke of Cumberland, are two of the Corps mentioned. We suppose it is not their religion or loy alty, that preclude Irishmen such distinguished honor. It must be attributed to an old English statute of Eward II which directs, under a severe penalty, that the Irish should shave their upper lips. Were they indulged with admission into those two regiments, they would have violated this shaving Act of Parliament, by resuming their ancient barbarous customs, as a pair of whiskers are an indispensible part of the Hussar cos

tume.

The English Militia is in motion, to defend the Grand and Royal Cauals, in Ire and from the depredations of the starving peasantry, and the Irish Militia are in active service in England, to interpose between the hung gry Hasiers of Nottingham and the new frames, the supposed causes of their abstinence. We are not surprised at the discou ragement reading is treated with in England, and the severe penalties enacted by English Legislators, against any person of the popish religion, who taught such necromancy in Ireland. Had the weaving savages learned to read, they would not have wreaked their hungry vengeance on dumb machinery, they would have been more just in sheir executions, and by tracing up the real cause to the "no Popery" Government, that destroys industry by eternal war, have gone up to London according to law, not by representative delegates but in aggre. gate bodies. In point of education 4.e Canal breakers, have the advantage of the frame breakers, as the latter cannot read. The Irish peasant knows intimately that Canal making, was a trick to direct the public mind from an intercourse with the mercantile world, they see that the Canals are finished, that misery and idleness linger on the banks of the neglected waters, and that bankruptcy and ruin, are the only returns the credulous proprietors hve had, for their wasted properties. After having ruined those unhappy men, they are now contributing to starve the wretches who eternally be1£ starve in the vicinity, by the facility they give to the exportation of the necessaries of life, to the people of Wales, Lancashire, Staffordshire and Scotland. They see, that while foreign artificers, who by their high wages, are allowed to be competitors in Ireland, with its peasantry, for our provisions, the Irish must always want
