BALL FOR THE SICK POOR. –
We have every
confidence in cherishing the hope, that the Ball on Thursday next,
for the purpose of providing medicine for the Fever Hospital of this
town, will be numerously attended; and we would suggest the
absolute necessity
of adopting means of providing a fund for
this purpose, above all others, as on it, in a good degree,
may be said to depend the safety of those in health, as well
as the relief of the sick! – It may be necessary farther to
add, that for every pound, subscribed
or collected – the
Treasurers and Stewards have a claim for
double that sum, by
Presentment off the county. We, therefore, think it our duty to
explain the nature of this intended Charity, by which every
individual may be convinced, – that literally speaking, IT BEGINS AT
HOME!

FOX HUNTING
On Thursday last, the Kildare Hounds meet at Narraghmore – where
they found, and had a run of 32 minutes, as far as Mr. Long’s house,
when the Fox was earthed – Five gentlemen rode in – the first of who
was a Carlow boy. – The Hunters next drew the cover of
Knockrigg, where they found again and having ran straight forward,
for an hour and three minutes – dogs abreast high – they earthed,
within about a mile of Bray, in the County Wicklow.– On the present
occasion there was a great emulation amongst the riders – and a
trial of skill between the gentlemen of the counties of Carlow and
Kildare. – The first who rode in again was a County Carlow gentleman
– he was in a black coat, mounted on his noted horse
Nimrod: he topped the chace throughout, and was closely followed by five
other gentlemen who also rode in, like true sportsmen! – This was
one of the most cheery hunts we have had the whole season.
The party was composed of real Foxhunters –
"Oft have their fractured bones,
And dislocated joints, their virtues shewn."
The Tullow Road still continues to be infested by an
armed bandit. The Post-man, who conveys the Mail, between Tullow and
this town, had a very narrow escape on Tuesday night last. His
safety, and that of the Mail, may be attributed to the swiftness of
his horse. Since the above night, the man has been obliged to wait
for day-light, to ensure the safe delivery of the mail bags from
this town to Tullow, Clonegal, Newtonbarry & etc.
Between 1 and 2 o’clock on Thursday night, a man was
driving a cow through this town; the looing of the cow induced a
woman that was up to open her door (thinking it might be one of her
own) on asking the person where he was driving the cow; he made no
reply, but drove much faster. The woman immediately called up her
family, pursued and overtook the travellers, in the
coal-market, when the man ran away, leaving the cow behind; which
was claimed next morning by a poor man of the name of Maher, from
Knocknagee, about two miles from Carlow.

EXPULSION OF A CATHOLIC BISHOP FROM NEW SOUTH
WALES
(from the Dublin Weekly Registers)
The Right Rev. Mr. O'Flyn, a native of Kerry, a friar, had
originally intended himself for the austere order of La Trappe, and
spent near two years in the convent of that order, when his health
became so much affected, that he was directed to repair to a more
southern climate. He went to Rome and then became a Priest in the
Irish Franciscan or Dominican convent.
The situation of the wretched
Irish banished to New South Wales, filled his mind with anguish. He
perceived, what indeed is very apparent, that for the same species
of offence, they suffered a double punishment to that inflicted on
other British subjects– banishment from their country and from their
religion. Besides, the insurrection acts make it a transportable
felony, without the benefit of a trial by jury, to be abroad at
night, or to have arms concealed in a person's dwelling-house, &c.
and these statutes, be conceived, were likely to afford a class of
convicts who might desire the consolations of their own religion,
and be perhaps the better subjects, even in a foreign country, for
having an opportunity of receiving spiritual instructions. Animated
with the desire of carrying comfort to those who were deprived of
every human consolation, he resolved to devote himself to the
mission in the other extremity of the globe.
He threw himself at the feet of the Pope, communicated his
project, and applied for Episcopal jurisdiction in New South Wales.
His plan was approved of, and the jurisdiction granted him. Cardinal Gonsalvi assured him, that the British Ministry was so favourably
inclined to the Catholics, that they would give him every
countenance and assistance necessary for carrying his charitable
purposes into execution.
Thus prepared, Dr. O'Flyn arrived in Ireland about two years
ago. A subscription was opened to raise a fund for his expenses out.
The Catholic Bishops, as they always do, subscribed liberally from
small means. The Catholic gentry, as they always do, subscribed
miserably– and the people at large, were not applied to from motives
arising from a discretion which sought to attain its object with as
little publicity as possible.
The Rev. Gentleman then repaired to London and deemed it right
to signify his intentions to the British Ministry. He also requested
that he might get a free passage to Port Jackson. As to his project,
it was said that the Government would not interfere with it : but a
free passage was refused, it being at the same time intimated that
as an ordinary settler he might get to his destination, on payment
of something near 100l. The money, whatever it amounted to
was paid, and the Rev. Gentleman embarked as a settler, and arrived
safe at Port Jackson.
No sooner, had he set his foot on land, no sooner had his
avocation been discovered than he was immediately seized, by order
of the Governor, flung into the first returning vessel, and sent
back a species of state prisoner, and safely delivered up at Lord
Bathurst's office, where he was civilly told to go about his
business.
Such is the brief history of the first Catholic mission to New
South Wales, as it is now related in the highest ecclesiastical
circles. Will it draw any explanation from the people of the
Colonial Department? It is reasonable at least, to expect that it
will.
Extract of a Letter, dated Nov 26, 1818
"It is no longer possible to inhabit this country, on every side
crumbling under the weight of the most revolting fanaticism. Don
Francisco de V......y C......a was carried off on the 17th of this
month, from the bosom of his family, by Familiars of the Holy
Office, and he has since disappeared, no one knows where. The School
of Artillery, formerly so flouring, is almost annihilated; the
pupils desert it en-masse, the Jesuits wishing to take upon
them more power than their Officers and Professors. The roads are
infested with robbers armed brigands, who hinder the communications
with the Castiles and the kingdom of Leon. Commerce has entirely
disappeared– in a word, our perspective is frightful. The Grand
Inquisitor sends us orders of the day, like the Generals who
commanded us when were fighting and shedding our blood to defend the
rights of the Tyrant who covers Spain with mourning and desolation."
THE DANDIES – Almost the whole of these
Gentlemen employ the same tailor. The man is a foreigner who has
attained great celebrity by a new mode of
fine-drawing
the seams in the back of the coat. The same artist pads the sleeves
and breast of both coat and waistcoat: the pantaloons are also
stuffed; and instead of a strap to confine them at the ancle, the
band is filled with leaden shot. This artist announced last week, to
his customers, that he should shortly have
stays upon a new
principle. It may appear incredible that Mr. Staytape can realize so
great a profit as 15,000 a year, but such is his boast.
