ENGLISH CHRISTIANITY. Mr. Ousely, the weaver, late of Dunmore, in the county of Galway, is now in Dublin, proving his crll be fore the Board of Grace, in White friar street. He stood a very strict examination before a committee of saints on Saturday. Mr. Murphy, the Apothecary of Mountjoy-square, who was lately, cut off from treason and popery, by a pain in his head and the united eloquence of Kent the hux terman, and Gallagher the pulley maker, was present at the examination of Brother Ousely, and was so con vinced at the regeneration of the holy weaver, that he was on the point of offering up his pots, Latin, Aqua Fon tana, gilt bottles and camomile to the Lord, for the benefit of the poory and to join Messrs. Qusely and Griffithson the Connaught circuit, for the purpose of gathering the Galway fishermen in to the fold of the elect; at the moment of inspiration, the raptures of light were interrupted by the abrupt inter position of a large ray of grace that entered the room, in the shape of Bro ther Stockbuckle, from Birmingham, as ambassador from the Bible Society of Warringtony with an official notice of the restoration of Medcalf, the nailor,, who was hanged at Chester; for being hungry, and eating contrary to law. The accredited statement of the rescussitation of the changed brother; was read by Miss Cambridges and the merits of the miracle, was justly attria buted to a sermon preached near the gallows, by Seth Brand, baker to the love-feasts of the Society of Jumpers, This happy triumph of the Lord over the law, gave a new turn to the meet ing; Ousely's examination, and the sale of the Apothecary's carnal stores were suspended, while the English saint entertained the company with a rehearsal of a new sermon hevistos carry to Paris-and preach there; for the purpose of giving Bonaparte and the National Institute a warning of the dangers to be appréhended from the prevailing influence of Idolatry, and Reading John Murphy, the apothecary, hately calledy is to preach his conversion sermon at Island-bridge barrack, on the 12th instant, being the Gafr Day of the summer Shooting Term. Verner, register of converts to the Board of Gracey preached his annual discourse to a detachment of whipping attornies, who have joined the Lord, as they have been abandoned by the carnal world. Mr. Verner's powers in the pulpit have more of the graceful energy of Kent than any other of the Board, after Pulley Gallagher, in point of letters; he spells better than the husterman, but he wants that sweet droop in the eyelids, thất bằwitches the chosen vessels who have been coaxed to grace by the nose twanging eloquence of Lorenzo Dow, and Bandy Parsons. Letters received by Biblemouth, from the Major in London, are full of the great progress made in the conversion of the Irish. He was present at a great meeting of the Bible Society, the Bishop of Meath in the Chair, where letters from several missionaries in Ireland were read, in which were described the characters and names of the converts Ouseley of Galway, in his communication, thinks he has reason to believe, from a vision he had a few nights since, he will be able to add Lord Ffrench to the number of the elect A letter from Kent, the hixterman, deprecated the idea of Catholic Emancipation as quite unnecessary, as he had a course of sermons in his head, that; when delivered, would convert the Cathole board, Luke Cassidy, Bl shop Troy, little Father Byrne, and Miles Duigenar. He asserted, that Doctor Breman's conversion was nearly finished ther the next surtout and Catholic Question, stockings, and a couple of love-feasts, would perfect the business, provided the Major did not withdraw the weekly money until the Doctor is provided for in the post-office. every movement. The Society had a copy of two sermons read, that were preached by Brother Firethatch to Larry Tighe and Tom Galvin: they were highly admired for the sparks of grace sprinkled through them, and the rapturous fervor expressed in the combination of words by the burning zeal of the apostle. Serjeant Stockbuckle's letters were read they were dated from Ardbraccan, the quarters of the 39 Civilizers; they described the great labours and unremitting experiments made use of to convert the natives; but the serjeant says the divine mission, is greatly impeded by the conjuration of the Priests, who have spared no, pains to baffle the Army of Grace in The serjeant also informed the Society, that Brother Fuze had been added to the army of martyrs, on the preceding Sunday, while preaching before the Archdeacon's palace, by a volley of stones and brick-bats, from the hands of an immense gathering of the Irishry: this part of the letter caused a mournful and deep groan. The Major's communication contained a recommendation to the Board to dispatch à box of bibles to Brother Kiley and Halpin, of the Palmerstown pike-office, who are, at present, in the neighbourhood of Clonmell, preaching the word and arranging some "perturbation" and man-traps, preparatory to the assizes; he also desired his large blue surtout, Jemmy's knife, and four pound notes, to be given to the wrestling Doctor, who he desires should continue to watch over the Broad-stone district, and report the conduct observed by the populace, at wrestling matches, and to have the bagpipe department until the return of Firethatch, who is to attend the Shooting Term at Ennis- CATHOLIC QUESTION. In reading, the speeches of the dif ferent Members of both Houses of Parliament who advocate this business and oppose it, we discover so much finesse, so much about seasons, time,. securities, foreign influence, &c. and each word or inuendo used for the very purpose of putting the question off from session to session, from century to century, which is the object of all parties, that we really have no more expectation of Catholic Emancipation, from the sincerity or enmity of either parties, than we had when our representatives were writing a prospectus of the Union on our backs, in 1798: FAVOURITE FAVOURITE WORDS USED ON ALL SUBJECTS AND OCCASIONS, BY SOME WELL-KNOWN PUBLIC CHARACTERS.
