The occasion had been previously .given eIts religious aspect by a solemn High Mass dieat St. Patrick's Church, celebrated by Fa-; thther Flannagan, and by the blessing ofea abanner of the Immacu'ate Conception, pye- dipared expPessly for this event and paitted Isby Mr. Moise, ohe of our most disting~ish-•ed artiats.

Gen. Lee dies, and a people stands insilent, reverential awe at the announcement. 1It-is as though a father was taken awa tfrom his family. There is no pomp or -tional display.

TOUCmNo IN4IDENT.-- This morning the wasdoors of the suburbs of La Chapelle and La ChiVillette were crowded with emigrants from conthe villages near Paris, seeking refuge thitwithin its walls. There were probably twothousand vehicles of all kinds, who hade,been all night in the plain of ta. Dens, swaiting their turn to enter when the draw- to obridges should be lowered. At six in the hismorning all would be in line to pass through andthie gate. An aged priest, seated in a cart, buwas attending to a poor sick woman, anostretched out on some mattresses.

Tea Caunc in CanA.-Abdauctio of adda ifiasionary.-A young French missionary, provM.

bo The St. Louis correspondent of the New exPYork Freeman's Tournal relates the follow- lea

le nlag incident: B

d Some years since the Archbishop of ofI Cashel, on entering the parlor of the Irish coxSCollege at Rome, to pay a visit to Dr.t oKartz, its president, fond him in conver-

V sation with a Ily, and to whom, a as of

11 American lady, " Mrs. Kearney," he wasP introduced bythe presidenet. "Kearney e gsaid the Bishap; " that is an Irish name,andl ndeed, tht of family which once

The tradirtion was that Unbecanse a piart of the croaier of St. Patrickhad been given to them, there woauld al- thaways be some of the family Catholioc. But," esadded the Archbishop " that has not a..dproved true, for the only member of the rUim

Jefferson Davis, the ex-President of thelate Confederate States of Amerioc, has ar-I, rived in Dublin. He comes to Ireland as ao private individual, and we have no desire

unnecessarily to intrude upon his psivacy.'We -trust that he will enjoy his visit toe Ireland, and carry away with bim pleasantd recollections of the country and its people.Bat the name of the ex-President of theonce mighty Confederate States is histori-cal, and his presence calls forth such melm-e ones of the mighty struggle from whieh

America has just emerged, and in whichso many thousands of our own fellow-coun-try-men lost their lives, that we may ber pardoned if we moralise a little on such as subject. The struggle which the South,under the presidency of Jefferson Davis,waged against the North- was one of themost terrific and obstinate on record. It isimpossible for us to withhold our tribute ofadmiration forthe ability d ed by theex-President, and the heroicdbo ottheI-leaders and soldiers of the Confederatilon.But while yielding a well-deserved tributeof respect to the personal hobreter and-conduct of the Confederates, we ennotoforget that their cause wa inherentl un-

ast, and that their triumpl4 wouldbaveSh triumph of, wrong aganst rit,of decldle against progre, of laveryagainst freedom. Demanding fieedomfoethempselves, they fought that they mightrivet the chalns of slavery the more rmlyupon their fellow-men. Had they been vi-tors they would have extended shelr "pe.coliar institution" over every 8tate in teSUnion. Withl slavery would have eomne Itsinevitable fruits, for it is a peeulireg otbhat scoaured system that it blassIs Ueenergies alike of enslavers and es.laveda..d never fails to bring decay and ultimatruin in its trac.. We in Ireland hate sL-very. Desiring freedom ourselves, we al-so wIsh it extendad to every race underheaven. From the firet, therefore, wesympathised with the Northern States; wesorrowed when they were defeated, we re-jolced when they were victorious, and withthem wet•riumphed when the South at lastbeing oonquered, slavery was for everabolished in America. But, thanks to thegenerosity of the North, and the nobleresignation with which the South acceptedthe inevitable, the traces of that Srriblestruggle will soon be obliterated. I•e u"s,too, forget them, oronly remember tmin order to profit by the lassons they coatin. *Jefferson Davis will find a hearty welcomefrom all classes of Irishmen, no matter withwhat side they sympathised during thelate war, and will learn, we trust, that it ispossible for them to entertain a hearty ad- Lmiration and reenect for the devotion, self-sacrif•ce, and ab.lty which he displayed inwhat he believed to be a just cause, while,at the same time, they rejoice, for the sakeof our common humanity, that that causewas not successful.--Dubli, Freeman.

There is a beautiful legend illdstratingthe blessedness of performing our duty atwhatever cost to our inclinations. A beau-tilul vision of our Saviour had appeared toa monk, and in lsilent bliss he was gaslngupon it. The hour arrived at which he wasto feed the poor of the convent. He lin-gered not in hie cell to enjoy the fision,but he left to perform hi. humble dtuy.

rOV TY IN aENGLAND.-" One who hasbeen t *ice round the world " informs theg reatI British public, in a letter to the Lon-

r don times, that, while war is raging, andwe are watching the course of events onthe Continent, "thousands of English peo-ple are fghting a sterner battle" with a foeS~idmitting of neither compromise nor nego-Stiation-the deadly foe of want. He saysthat "thousands o1 anxious, starving soulsare standing on the banks of the old coun-try, looking with longing eyes on the abun-dance of the new which they cannot reach."d Is not the hand of Heaven in this ? Littlemort than twenty years ago that same2ntuw grew glefnl over the agony and,anio-flight of the poor starving people of

Ireland. It saw nothing but matter forgreat joy and hope in the suffering thatcaused such sad depletion. Can it be mer-! ry now over the small trouble that staresit in the face at home? In that land ofSbrsting purses and plethoric charitiesthere are thousands starving and longingto go away, but neither the individual for-tune nor the national fund is' drawn uponto give them help. They and their likemay cause some trouble yet to the good,easy men of England. It is a trouble far* more-liketly-tsoies-l ie tha to diminish asTime goes on his way, bat the worst thatmay befall will bhardly match the horror 1that has been known in Ireland.
