Our Irish Correspondence. Dunumn, Deo. 24, 1851. Singular Trial—Decrees of the Synod of Thurles— Death of the Provost of Trinity College--Banquet of the Lord Lieutenant—Bee Root Sugar—Irish Letters for America— The Murderers of Mr. Bate- son—Future Prospects. In my last letter, I communicated some of the eouliar modes of supporting a government, adopted by our Lord Lieutenant, Lord Clarendon, and Drought to light in the interesting trial of Birch vs. Sir William Somerville. Another very singular trial has taken place here since that time, and don @ good deal to drive the squabble between the go- vernment and their political organ out of head. This case of Matthew vs. Harty, &c , occupied,the (Court of Exchequer six entire days, commencing onthe morning of Thursday week. Tho plaintiffi @ young man who has graduated at Trinity College, with much credit as a student, having a couplo of ears since obtaineda scholarship. He never could Jearn whe his parents were, but was told thatheha been born in Monmouthshire, in tho west 0. England. ‘He was educated at the expense of the defendant, Dr. Harty, an old and highly respectable medical practitioner of Dublin. Tho plaintiff suspected that Dr. Harty was his guardian, and had been loft by his parents some property to be disposed of for his advantage; and he complained of being fre- ‘quently treated with great harshness and sevority by Dr. Harty. He has suffered greatly from de- pression of spirits and ill health; and had in consequence been obliged to sbanden private tuition to which he had been forced to have re- course forthe means of supporting himself. Dr. Harty had got him confined while he was in this state, in Swift’s Lunatic Hospital A thrill went through the audience when Dr. Harty’s adyo- cate, in the course of the defeuco, said he was authorized to declare that the young man was an illegitimate son of the defeadunt. Dr. Harty him- self, in the witness box, attested with sorrow and humiliation, the truth of the siatemeat. The jury, after a deliberation of about fifteeu minutes, found @ verdict for the plaintiff, for £1,000 damages and Gd. costs. The announcement of this verdict was received with bursts of prpiaae from all parts of tho denselyjorowded court. ‘I'he desrves of the Synod of Thurles are now in the hands ofthe clergy. They are comprised in a handsome octavo volume of about eighty pages. They relate to the administration of tho sacrament, the duties and ipline of the clergy, the Queen’s colleges, the National schools, &c. Of the nine decrees connected with the Queen’s colleges, some relate exclusively to bishops, pricsta, and other clerics. With respect to the laity, the statutes contain no prohibition whatever against Catholics frequenting the colleges. They do not contain any declaration that it is sinful to attead them. But they express an opinion that, onaccount of the apprehended danger to faith and morals, the colleges ought to be avoided In fact, they Yeave the matter to the conscience of cach per- son, whilst, at the same time, they hold out awarning of their danger. The decress do not say one word about Trinity College, or the ‘London University, or the medical schools of Lab- lin, Edinburg, er Giargow. So far as the decrees of the synod are concerned, it is manifest that Ca- tholics may still frequent those universities as they have hitherto done. The statutes come into force ‘on the Ist of January, 1852, and various portions meceseary for the laity to kuow, were read in Eng lish at divine service in the different chapels here dJast Sunday. The Catholic Defence Association have chosen ‘by ballo:, as their secretary, the Rov. Mr. Wilber- force, brother to the Bishop of Oxford, and one of the late most distinguished Oxford converts to Roman Catholicem. The palerys we believe is $300 per annum. Mr. Wilberforce is a mar- ried man, and, of course, cannot be received into the Roman Catholic priestaood; but ia travelling throvgh this country, in which he bas been for some time, he has delivered various lectures in the Catholic chapels in d:fferent parts, and chiefly upoa the conversions which have been going on in Eng- land for some years back s At the ordinary monthly meeting of the Catholic University Committee, held last week, it was stated that the amount of subscriptions received 8: the twelfth of November, was £925, of which £375 10 9 had been transmitted from America. Dr. Sadleir, the Provost of Trinity College, died suddenly on Sunday evening, t¥e 14th inst. Hehad been slightly indisposed for some days previously; but on Sunday afternoon he drove out in a carriage, and on bis return retired exrly to rest His doath must have occurred very shortly afterwards, for ho was found dead in his bed about nine o’cleck. He was in his seventy: fifth year. Dr. Sadlier was a man beloved and osteemed by all who knew him; a consistent and undeviating friend of civi) and religious liverty, and an active and constant supporter of the charities of this city. Religious bigotry never held back his hand where the cause of benevolence and charity was concerned. He was elected, as early as the year 1315, a Fellow ‘of Trinity College In 1837 be was appointed by Lord Melbourne's government, Provost of the Uni- versity, which honorable pust he continued to occu- py, in the enjoyment of that genoral respect and affection to which his admirable qualities and ‘gentle demeanor so eminently entitled nim, up to the period of his disease. The funeral took place upon Wednesday. His romains are deposited in the vaul's uncer the chapel of Trinity College. The Chairman and Uirectors of the Midland Great Western Raiiway, connecting Galway and Dublin, entertained Lord Clarendon and a namer- ous company at the Broadstone terminus, last ‘Tuesday, to celebrate the completion of their groat undertaking The arrangements were carried out onaecale of liberality aud splendor seldom sur- ed in this city. Lord Clarendon’s health was well received, and in reply he expressed the plea- sure be had felt in being in a position to co-operate with the direstors in furthering this important line of railway, and he trusted that now, when Ireland had begun to feel that her regonoration must come from herself in the resuseitacion of Irish industry, that that regeneration bad already commenced, and that ber future was full of hope and promise. The noble Karl concluded by propoving “ prosperity to the Midiand Great Western Mutiway,”’ which was enthosiastically received When, indeed, a line of steam packets begins to ply between Galway and New York; when the electric telegraph is completed to Dublin from Gal- way, andea sub marine telegraph Jaid down from Kingston to Holyhead. a1 tiumense i cpetus will be iven to Irish trade. and prosperity may come at fast to ourunfortunate country The darkest hour, we hope, is past; aud, nucwithstadding the terrible ordeal of the last few years, and the decimation of the Irish people, if they are indeed faithful to them- selves, and the governwent not atoogether blind and infatuated, somecning may yet be done for oid Treland, by the sons she has still left We bave always anticipated that the free impor- tation of foreign corn would soon induce onr agri- cultural ciasser, if asoiwted and direcied by those above them, to culsivate thore articles of produce best suited to their soil and climate Already the flax culture has been much extended, wud a great impetus given to tbe linen manufactures of Ireland. ‘We row observe a growing disposition to cultivate sugar beet, and to mtroduce the manufacture of beet-root sugar into this couuliy — iord Clancarty, we are informed, intends sowing fifty acres of sugar beet this season, and itis very probable a mauu- factory may be established at Baltinasloe, A large portion of the requisite wechinery for the manufac ture of beet-rootrugur bas arrived at Mountmellick, froin Antwerp, and # stall of eogsue ers aud ussistanté are actively engaged in the eroction of the engines ers.

Father Matirew, in reply to an address from the Cork Corporation, congratulatiog him on his return “in perfect heath from the United States, thus refers to our oondi- tion and pri ts:—* Though painfully struck with tho Pes bad contrast which our beloved country presents, in many particulars, with the favored land which I have recently left, T yet see no reason for pathy or despair. Ireland—this is not the place to investigate the cause—is now passing through a transitionary ordeal, from which | trust she will, ore long, brightly emorge, and enter 0: that glorious career of national prosperity to which her ample resources, now in progress of develope- nt, must naturally entitle her. I feel delight in already recognizing marked indications of a spirit of industrial activity and enterprise, which, com- bined with self-reliance and perseverance, cannot fail to effect for her that social regeneration which it hat already accomplished for 80 many nations in tho history of mankind. This spirit once univer- ly diffused employment, and its natural concomi- tants, plenty and prosperity, would speodily follow. Anample field at home would be afforded for the energies of our people, while temporance and self- respect would consolidate these advantages, and render them durable. Leloved fellow-c tizens, I sincerely thank pen for your most kind and consi- dorato advice for the preservation of my health, which, God willing, I intend to implicitly follow. For this deeply prized address, a mark of your unanimous esteem, accept the homage of a grateful and affectionate heart.” Father Mathew’s obser- vations elicited the cordial and enthusiastic acela- mations of the Council. California and Australia Mines, Lonpon, Dee. 8, 1351. The market has shown great activity to day, and transactions have taken place in Alfred Consols, Merllyn, Treviskey, Mary Ann, Trevelyan, and Penralt. ‘The market for Californian gold shares was quict, with little change in quatabion# prices being ge- nerally fairly supported. West Mariposas were done at one time at par, but loft off 3-16 to 116 dis.; Agua Fria ruled at 1 5-16to1 7-16 prem ; Nouveau Monde, j to } prem; Golden Mountain, {| to } prem.; Avo Maria, } dis. to par; Anglo Californi- en, | to | prem. With the receipt of fuller intelligence from Cali- fornia relative to the want which is felt of adequate machinery for the crushing of the quartz, more in- terest is now felt in the proposal of some of the companies to use the means which will be at their disposal in the prosecution of this branch of business alone, should no favorable inducements be held out for the commencement of actual inining operations. Of the success which is to be expected as attendant upon such a course of operation, we have an illus- tration in the arrangement made by Sir Henry Huntley on account of the Anglo-Californian Company, by which he engages to crushthe quartz and receive one-half the net produce in return Apprehensions are felt by somo that with the great increase of mills and machinery reported as taking place in the auriferous districts, the profits frem uartz crushing will be much diminished, owing to the competition thus induced ; but the objection ap- pears entitled to little weight, as even in such an eventuality a quarter of the nett yield would afford a large dividend ; and then, again, the attention of the local management would, doubtless, be turned to mining, which, in such a case, would become the more profitable pursuit. One important element of success possessed by the Californian companies must not be overlooked: * Many fail of success,’’ state our advices, **from the want of practical ox- periexce in this mode of mining,” this being a pursuit in which the advantages of capital are most sensibly felt. The Anglo-Californiaa Gold Mining Company have given the usual notice in the London Gazette of their intencion to apply in the ensuing session of Parliament for an act of incorporation of the compaay. Besides the demand arising from the Californian and Australian gold miniag schemes, the develope- ment of the Australian copper mines has been taken in band by influential parcies who have decided upon raising capital to the extent of £2 Emigration and trade to Australia, judging from the application for passage and freight, seem etill to have received very little impulse from the gold discoveries, although there is rather more activity than was observable ashorttime back. ‘The slight disposition manifested at present by the laborin; class, to avail themselves of opportunities, is attri- buted partly to the general prosperity, which causes fa'r employment at hme; but the distance, owing to the non-employment of steamer, and the ex: perse and uncertainty of postal commuvication, must continue to be the great drawbacks. ‘Tho colonists, however, have become thoroughly awak- ened to the poril of their position, if supplies of labor be not speedily obtained ; and from Port Philip, Captain Stanley Ourr, a well known agriculturist,’ bas been deputed to visit this country, in which he has just arrived, with the view of concerting some measures that should receive the sanction of the Colonial Office. In consequenee of the influx to Sydney from all surrounding parts, it is thought the need for help will be greatest in the other colonies ; and al- though at first there was a disposition, on the part of the stock keepers, to persuado themselves that their shepherds would rem: tho resent aceounts from the mince, and especially the finding of tho lump of 100 Ibs. has convinced them that this reli- ance may prove to a considerable extent ill found- ed Captain Carr, it is understood, desires chiefly to obtain emigrants from the Scottish highlands ; but, wherever they may be got, it is essen‘ial they should not be selected for any of the qualities that usually recommend settlers, since it is the quict, in- dolent people, unused to the activity of towns, or of hard labor, that are alone fitted for the shepherd life, and that would not be speedily induced to change it for the excitement of the gold fieids. Be- fore departing on his mission, Captain Carr person- ally inspected tho ee 5 region, and he confirms ibe statements that have been received When he was at Orphir there wero 3,000 persons at work, yot the superintendence of two commissioners and 12 policemen was found sufficient for the maintenance of perfect order. At Orphir there had been a great deal of disappointment, mixed with much succas3; but in the Turon Valley all wore making some- thing, and in many instances the results were extrn- ordinary. With regard to the prospects of quartz mining, no extended operations had yet been com. menced, but the richnees of several specimens tad already been tested, aud, asthe rocks were abun- dantly epread over districts of many niles, there Was no reuson to consider it improbable that they might prove fally as productive a3 those of Califor- nia.— Times.

It remarkable occasion He who is your honored guest to: night has led thus fur a life of events that are viewed a: important here, and still more important to his own country. Educated, spirited, fall of « feeling of li- berty and independence, he entered early into the pub- lic councils of his native country, and he is here to-day, fresh from acting his part in the great struggle for Hun- gatian national independence. That is not all his dis- tinction. He was brought to these shores by the autho- rity of Congress. He has been welcomed to the capital of the United States by the votes of the two houses of Congress. Mr. Srwann. (interrupting).—“He is welcome!” and there were loud cries of * Welcome, welcome !’’ from va- tious parts of the house. Mr. Wester, (resuming.)—I agree, as Iam not con- nected with either branch of the Legislature, in joining, and I do join in my loudest tone, in that welcome pro- nounced by them to him. (Great applause ) The House of Representatives—the immediate representatives of the »ple--tuli themselves of an ardent love of liberty, have jomed in that welcome; the wisdom and sobriety of the Benate have joined in it; and the head of the ey el with the utmost cordiality, has approved of whatsoever official act was necessary to bid him wetcome to these shores. And he stands here to-night jn the midst of au assembly of both houses of Congress, and others of us met here in our individual capacity, to join the general acclaim, and signify to him with what pleasure we re- ceive him to the shores of this free land—this asaylum of oppresred humanity. (Applaure.) Gentlemen, theetfect of the reception thus given him cannot but be felt. It cannot but bave its influence beyond the ocean and mong countries where our principles and our sentiments are either generally unknown or generally disliked. Let them go forth; let it be borne on all the winds of hea- ven, that the sympatixies cf the government of the United States, and all the people of the Uaited States, have been attracted towards a nation struggling for national inde- pendence, and towards those ap herecna whtlines most Cistinguished themeelyes in that struggle. (Great ap- plause.) 1 bave eaid that this cannot be without its ef fect. Weare too much inclined to underrate the power of moral influence, and the influence of public opinion, and the influence of principles, to which great men, the lights of the world and of the age, have given their ranc- tion. Who doubts that, in our own struggle for liberty and independence, the majestic eloquence of Chatham. the profound reasoning of Burke, the burning satirs and irony of Colonel Barre, had influences upon our fortunes here in America? They bad influences both ways. They tended, in the first place, somewhat to dimioish the coa- fidence of the British ministry iu their hopes of success in attempting to subjugate an iojurea people. They had influence another way, becaute — ali along the ccasts of the country—and all our p: ple in that day lived upon the coast—there was not a reading man who did not feel stronger, bolder, and more determined in the assertion of his rights, than when these exhilarating accounts from the two Houses of Parliament reached him from beyond the seas. He felt that those who held and controtied public opinion elsewhere were with us; thet their words of eloquence might produce an effect in the region where they were uttered; and, above all, they aseured them that, in the judgment of the just, and the wise, and the impartial, tbeir cause was just, aud they were right; and therefore they said, We will fight it out to the last. Now, gentlemen, another great mistake is sometimes wade We think that nething is powerful enough to stand before autocratic, monurchical. or despotic power. There is something strong enough, quite strong enough, and if properly exerted will prove itself 0, and that is the power of intelligent public opinioa 1m all the na ions of the earth. There is not a monarch on earth whose throne is not liable to be shaken by the progress of opin- jon, and the sentiment of the just and intelligent part of the people It becomes us, in the station which we hold. to let that public opinion. so far as we form it, have a free course. (Bravo, bravo.) Let itgo out; Ist it be pre- nounced in thunder tones; let it open the eara of the deuf; let it open the eyes of the blind; and let it every- where be proclaimed what we of thi “at republic think of the general principle of human liberty and of that op- pression which all abhor. (Applaase.) “Depend upon it, gentlemen, that between these two rival powers, the au- tceratic power maintained by armsand force, and the populur power maintained by opinion, the former is con- stuntiy decreasing, and, thank Goa the latter is con- stantly increasing. (Appluvee.) Real human liberty and human rights are gaining the ascendant; and the part which we have co pt fn eM this great drama, is to show ourselves in favor of those rights,to uphold our ascendency.and to earry iton until we aball see it culmi- pate in the bighert braven overour heads.

I wish to arrange the thoughts t which I derire to give utterance under two or three general heads. And in the first place | say, that wherever there isin the Christian and civilized world a nationality of character—waerever thore exists @ vation of sufficient knowledge, and wealth and population, to constitute @ government, then a nationc! government is a necessary end proper rerult of nationnlity of character. We may talk of it os we please, bul there ia m thing that ratisfies the human mind in an enlightened age unless he is go- verned by bis own country and the institutions of his own government, No matter how eary be the yoxe of a foreipp power, £0 matter how lightly it site upon the choviders, if it is not impored by the vote of his own ua tion, and of bie own country, he will not, be cannot. and he means not to be happy under its burden (Applause ) There is, gentlemen, one great element of human happi nixed up with others, We have our social afiections —our family oflectione; but then we have this seutiment of country which imbues aj) ou bearts, aod enters Lato oll our otner f 6; and that sentiment of country is ansilection not euly for the soil ou which we ate born, it met oply appertaius to our parents, and sisters, and brotbery, und friends. but to our habica wnd institutions, and to the goverpment of that country tu ali respects, There ix not a civisized and inteliizentinan on ewrch that er joys entire satisfaction in hit condition. if be dows not jive under the government of Lis own uation—bis own country. whore volitions and rentiments wad sympathies sre like bisown lienew he cannot say © Tbis is not my ccuniry; it ie the country of auother power, it is a coun. try belonging to romebouy else” ‘Therefore Tsay that wherever there is a nation ¢f su ent intelligeaos, and nun bers and weal(h to maintain ® government, distin Guirhed ip its cheracter aud ite bistory and ite institu tiors.

Upom that subject. gentle- nip, Thave ro manner of doubt. Let us look a jittle at the porition in which this matter stands What 1s Hurgary’ I am not, gentlemen, about to fatigue you with a long statistical statement; but [ wish to say that 6s 1 understand the matter, and I have tuken some pains to look at it, Hungary contains # sufficient population to cenotitute a nation The following enumeration of the races that constitute the population of Hungary is taken frory one of the latest and most authoritative publicw tors of Austrian statirtion, that of Hacutler — HUNGARY, INCLUDING CROATIA AND SLAVONTA Megyare.....

Thus it is evident that, in point of power, so far as power depends upon population, Hungary possesses as much piwer as England proper, or even as the Kingdom of Prussia Well then, there is population enough—there are people encugh. Who, then, are they? They are distinct from the nations that suaround them; they are dis- tine tfrom the Austrians on the west, and the Turks on the east; and I will say in the next place that they are an enlightened nation. They have their history; they have their traditions; they are attached to their own inetitutions—institutions which have existed for more than a thousand years. Gentlemen, it is remarka- ble that. on the western consts of Europe, political light existe, There isasun in the political firmament, and that sun sheds his light on those who are it But in Eastern Europe, geverally speaking, the contines between Eastern Europe and Apia, no politicalsun in the heavens — It is all an arctic cone of political lite. (Applause.) The luminary that en- lightens the world in general seldom rises there above ‘izon The light which they possess is at best cular, a kind of twilight, and they are under the necessity of groping about to catch, as they may, any stray gleams of the light of day. (Hear, hear.) Gen- tlemen, the country of which your guest to-night is a mative, is @ remarkable exception, She has rhown through her whole history, for many hundreds of years, an attechment to the principles of civil liberty, and of Jaw and of order, and ob:dience to the constitution which the will of the great majority have established. That is the fact; ard it ought to be known wherever the question of the practicability of Mungarian liberty and independ»nce are dircussed. It cught to be known that Mungary stands out from it above her neighbors in all that re- spects free institutions, constitutional government, and a hereditary Jove of liberty, (Applause) Goatiemen, I have taken the pains to prepare some facts from an in- telligent writer, and that writer isa Iady, She must, of course, be great authority. She says:-— “The Hungarian nation bas been distinguished from its first sppearance in hirtory, for uniting to a passionate love of liberty a scrupulous reverence for law. The Mag: yars did not enter the plains of Dacia an unpriucipled Tabble, From the first they possessed a fixed form of government, and were distinguished for their subordina- tion to their leaders and their laws. To these habits of discipline, in which the Magyata were trained. to their love of order and reward for law, it is to be aseribed that they did not pars away like the common hordes of birba- rian adventurers, but established a permanent kingdom in the country they invaded. ‘To these qualities, not less than to their courage, is to be ascribed their successful maintena of their constitu- rights against all the attacks of a power before ich the liberties of so many other vations have fallen, The ancient institutions of the Magyars were emi- nently demccratic. Their chief ruler was elected by the ofthe people For the first century after their e« ment in the country, he received only the title or leader. In the year 1,000, they bestowed the title of King on Stephen. of the family of Arpad, the leader under whore guidance they had entered Pan- nonia The power of the King wa, however, strictly limited ‘The consent of the people was necessary to give efficacy toevery royaluct, The excellent prince who first filled the throne of Hungary, hud no disposition to infringe the liberties ofthe people.
