My lamp cf fife i » near bsrntont- — My race is run—pronounced my doom ; One after one around me fall * . The cold , damp curtains of the tomb ! On leafing tbJ * uBgrateM ¦ world , I make but only one request—I ask ite BDtnw ; in the gwre Let me and mina together rest , Till other time * and other men Can justice to my memory do ; 3311 ages shall bare slumbered by , And reason can my act re-new .

Bat wben among the powers of earth " ^ My conatry shall assume her stand , yrondly erect—her Sag unfurled , Acknowledged free by every land—Tben may ^ " 7 « pltaph be traced Food the marbled snow-white face ; And ' it may stand aboTe my bead , To mark a patriots resting place . 7 be stranger , as he passes by , May pause to think of other years , And as fee calls to mind my fate , May pay the tribute of bis tears .

      And now farewell 1 I am going where My feihers bare before me ^ one ; My deathksH spirit takes its flight To regions yet untried , unknown ; I give my body to the earth ; Tb all that it can justly claim ; And , dearer than the life I yield , Bequeath posterity my fame .

      tion . His address was one of the most noble and feeling we hare erer heard . We regret that we cannot gire insertion thereto , yet we think it worthy o £ general publication , and would snggest that those more immediately interested would see that it be . extensively circulated , as much good to the CathoMo cause would doubtless result therefrom The following is a copy of the address presented to Mr . Walsh . It was read by Mr . Harrole : — TJbasBey . Sm , —Feelingly cen-rinced of the great obligations under which we lie to your benevolence and unremitting zeal as our late pastor , and duly appreciating the many virtues you displayed in the exercise of yonr sacerdotal functions when amongst t » , we are

      assembled to offer yon a tribute of love and esteem in the testimonial of which we now fanmbly beg yonr acceptance . Words are but an eraptyand a -nilueleas proof of gratimde ; they are spoken and pass away with the moment at" which they fall from the lips , they are nttered l > trt to be forgotten . It has been onrwish to present you with a more lasting memorial of our affection , one that more forcibly than words will assure yon we remember you with such sentiments of gratitude as y » ur disinterested zeal in the salvation of souls , your affectionate and consoling administration of the comforts of our holy religion to those who were deprived of almost every worldly comfort , could not fail to prodnce in our hearts .

      Through your instrumentality , the Lord has spoken to many , whose feet were wandering from the -ways of peace , and who were sitting in the region of darkness , and in the shadow of death . The terrors of the Gospel " might have been thundered in their ears , yet would they have heard them not ; the awful vengeance of God's wrath might have been denounced againit them , in strains of the most magnificent and sublime elcqnence , yet would they have passed from the temple of the Lord and heeded not . The preaching of the Lamb was in meekness and humility ; such also has been yours , and the blessed fraits of it we well know .

      By the permission of Providence , the days of your ministry among us were few indeed and » oon numbered ; yet were they fall days , and replete with blessings to the Catholics of Leeds . During the short three months you . were here , you adopted such & method of reclaiming the . deluded victims of vice , and of teaching the consoling truths of Christianity to these who had vainly sought rest and peace of mind in the emptiness of false- doctrines , that ere long would have yielded an ~ abundant harvest of souls : your

      removal , therefore , is to ns a cause ' of deep and unfeigned regret By your kind and charitable attentions , the sorrows of the aged have been soothed , the distresses of-the indigent and helpless relieved , the tears of-the -widow wiped away , ana the eriea of the fattreriess have been hushed " . Numbers have experienced , in the pursuance of your counsels , & tranquillity of mind to which theyn&d long been strangers , and found in you a treasure of infinitely more worth than all the riches of the earth—a faithful friend , and an unerring director of their steps in the ways of

      peace . The testimonial which we now present for your acceptance , we beg of you to regard as a proof of our gratitude , and hi presenting it entreat the intercession of your prayers in our behalf . Long as we inhale the breath of life , shall yonr name Ure enshrined * n oar hearts , and the recollection of yon be connected with every affectionate association of which we sre susceptible . Daily shall the united voice of the thousands of Leeds be raised to the throne of the Almighty to implore benedictions upon your head , and to pray that you may long be & labourer in the vineyard ofthe Lord , and that when joa shall be gathered to your fathers , you may shine like a star to all eternity .

      sDIHoU&GjB . —Awfdx Warning . —No less than three men lost their lives in this city , through drunkenness , during the New Year ' s revels ! One by fighting with a sailor , received a blow which knocked him down , and he never stirred afterwards ; the second was a man employed to light and pnt ont the gas lamps in front of the Theatre Roya !; be had . got intoxicated , when he went to put out the lamps , and he fell from the ladder upon the pave ment upon-his head , and was killed upon the spot : the third wa . 3 a young man whoTiad been drinking whiskey until he could drink no longer , and the landlord employed a man to carry him home on his back ; he did so ; bat he would not suffer the man to take him op the stairs , so the man left him . In the morning , on his family getting up , he was found dead by his own brother at the door !

      BANNOCKBHSIT .-Trade is in a wretched bad state ; the people have nothing to do , and very many are in actual starvation . Anew tartan ha 3 just been started here , and is called after our champion—" the O'Connor tartan . " It will be much worn hi Scotland by the working classes , and will turn out a good speculation to the manufacturer . LOUGHBOEOUGH .-In consequence of great distress , arising from want of work and the low - price of labour , several meetings of the working classes have been held on the subject : and on

      ^ , Tuesday the wealthy class had one also , at which the distress was recognised , and a subscription entered into for its relief . The town has been divided into districts , to investigsre the same , and a Committee is appointed .

      Shocking Cccfa-RESCE . —On Friday night last , a woman named Mary Digney , the wife of a small farmer , residing at DruiiiJough , near Rathfriland , Ireland , -while labouring tinder a fit of insanity , took advantage of her husbaud's absence to attempt the destruchon of her own life , and the lives a ' . so of her two children . Hiring , it appears , prcrioaslj provided herself with a quantity of arsenic , she admiaisterfd some of it to the younger child , seven years of age , at thesaae t : me herself swallowing a large portion of the same deadly drug . The elder child , a ^ ed ten jeais , obstinately refused the

      proffered draught ; urcn wnieh she was laid hold of by her wretched parent , and violently strangled . Shortly afterwards the husband arrived , and was by his wife informed of all her proceedings . He instantly alarmed his neighbours , and sent for a doctor . In the meantime , the dose having , it is probable , been larger than ordinary , both the mother and child who had taken the arsenic discharged the contents off their stomachs , and -were thereby preserved . The other child was discovered entirely bereft of Me . On the day following an inquest was held upon the body , and a verdict of " Wilful murder" recorded .

      IKKLUENCE CF THE PaSSIOSS ON THE SENSES . — Our senses are rencered strikingly acute in anything that nas reference to -what we love , or fear , or hate . Miss Johanna Baillie , in her noble tragedy of JJe Muntfort , has given powerful effect to the working out of this idea . Da MoLtfort , who has twice before ttarted and betrayed signs of listening attention , at lecgth , thruTfu cif his guard , exclaims" Tis Rezenvplt I heard his well-known foot , -From the first staircase , mounting step by step I " Freberg , his friead , replies" How quick an ear thou hasS for distant Eound !

      Walter Scott , with due acknowledgment , makes himself debtor to MirS Baiilie in his Rokeby .

      Sous Milk . —To prerent milk from turning bout and curding , as it is apt to do , especially in the heat of summer , the milkmen of Paris add a small quantity of subcarboaate of potash or soda , which saturating the acetic acid as it foims , prevents the coagulation or separation of cuxd ; and some of them practise this with so much success as to gain the reputation of selling " milk that sever turns four . " CorGHs and Colds . —The hnmense qsanties of rain almost without in : emission for many month ? , has been productive of coughs and colds to as alarming extent in the metropolis ; those predispteed to consumption need be particularly careful , and should not be exposed to the night air , or damp fogs ; an

      eminent physician recommends that the chest should be protected , aad the feet kept-warm , and dry ; and a gentlemen , celebrated for his botanical researches , has produced from the well-known Danzic Spruce ,-a .

      BbethREN , —The power and application by our late employers of the wealth with which existing usages of societies have compelled us to furnish them , makes it necessary for us to address you in the seventeenthweei pi our strugglei against their cruelty . . . Since the issuing of last sheet , every effort hag been made bjr them to procure granite , ; but Without success . Johnson , the acting amnajger of the Haytor Granite Coaipany , has advertised for a number of granite masons to soapple stone for Grissell and Peto , but as yet has been unable to procure any . The trio have sent Agents through JDe ; 7 on ; aud Cornwall for that purpose , but where , to their no small astonishment , tbey were met by delegates from us ; and through whoso vigilance the exertions of the tneniVjin that dhection have been rendered fruitless .

      We haye also received letters from Dublin , promising as the support from the trades of that city , and declaring that every effortihall be made in that looality to ftttstjate the designs of GtisssU and Petp , should they applythere for g ? anite , We receive similar encour 8 genient from all other quarters where there ia a proba . bility of their applying for stone . A quarry master in Cornwall informs us , by letter , " That had he been so disposed , he might be preparing stone for arissell and PfcW , but . . that hepossessed too much Christian feeling tobecome i party to the perpetuation of such a system of cruelty as that practised ¦ byAUen . » - ; , - : - ^' . ^ - " / -v s ; ,. ^ '¦ ' .. ^^ . /¦^¦ ¦ ' ¦¦\\ :.

      ThenrEt fruits of these movements oh our part were made manifest on Saturday evening last , when a number of the '' black diamonds" were discharged from th >» Monument for want of material : some have also been dismissed from the Parliament Houses , Allen having , according to their own confession , damned them up and down , sweariBg that he could not put up with " such masons" any longer . At Woolwich' the device of lowering tbewagca has been adopted , the most of them being . now reduced to 3 s , 0 d . per day . A general meeting of the " black diamonds '' hns in consequence

      been held ,. and strongly worded resolutions adopted by them , but what the ;• result will be is yet enveloped in mystery ^ -afc least to us . We are , oowever , pf to believe that Grissell and Peto , seriously sensitive of the drain they Dave suffered from their breeches ' -pockets , are adopting these steps as preliminaries to a general disbanding of tbe incpngmous and heteregeneous corps they have taken so much pains to collect The tarnouts at Plymouth and I artmoor are in excellent spirits ; and we are as determined as ever not to relinquish one iota of our position . ; \ .

YK IK WaTEBPOBD CaIHKdbal . —On Sunday last , a member of the Society ot Friends , named Joshua Jacob , with a female friend leaning on bis arm , both of whom were attired in white garmecis from head to foot , entered the Cathedral Church during divine service , and took up their position , standing under the organ loft , close by the stalls of the dean and chapter . They remained in that position both perfectly inute till the service had concluded , and the congregation were preparing to depart . Air . Jacob and his fair friend then advanced in front a few paces , when the former proceeded to address the congregation . He looked about the church , first at the gorgeous fresco ceiling , and turned up his eyes with a look of pity towards the organ , which was then pealing in lond tones , and anon at the beautiful and fashionably

      dressed ladies , for which our city is remarkable . He then uttered , with a firm and deliberate voice" This is not the house of the Lord Jesus Christ , this ia the house of Babylon . " The deep-toned voice of the man , his extraordinary drees , and the peculiar manner in which he uttered the sweeping anathema , caused an extraordinary -and general sensation among those assembled . The Rev . Mr . Ryland approached , took him by the arm , requested him to leave the church , and gently pushed him towards the door . Mr , Jacob remenstrated in that quiet manner characteristic of the Society ot Friends , and Baid the Lord had sent and inspired Mm to raise his voice against the abominations practised there . On being gently pushod towards the door the two Friends . retired from the Church . — Waterford Chronicle .

      A > kighbouhi . t Sheep . —A respectable farmer , resident in Irongray . mentioned in our hearing on Wednesday last a circumstance which we should suppose is exceedingly rare , and on that account icteresting from its notability . While lately passing along the public road opposite to the farmof Fourmerkland , he observed a sheep stretched on its back unable to rise , with a neighbour standing over it , endeavouring with its nose to help its unfortunate congener up . In this it was unsuccessful , aud after a time retired , as our informant supposed , to join

      the rest of the herd . But in this he was mistaken , for on looking back , previous to sending a servant to the spot , he distinctly observed the neighbourly bleater advancing to the invalid in ram-race fashion , and pouncing upon it with so much ' force that it regained Jta feet in a twinkling . This deliverance effected , the twain looked fixtdly at oite another , probably exchanging thanks and congratulations ; and anon toddled lovingly away together to join the more unconcerned portion of the iiirEel . —Dumfries Courier . .

      EXTRAOKDIKABT A FFAIB AT WjEXFORD . —We Were on Tuesday treated here to a little romance . Some time ago the daughter of a man , named BoJger , procured a suit of boy ' s clotheB , and went to " seek her fortune" at Liverpool , as a " dashing-young -Irishman . " She was hired by an English gentleman as groom , and for months rode after him as ' such . On his leaving the oountry , ho recommended his groom in the strongest terms , and Miss Bolger was next hired as inside servant . One of tha maids , however , became attached to her , and to escape her importunity , Miss Bolger joined a twopenny &how , where

      she soon attained the exalted sta'ion of tumbling orr the stage , and of describing figuratively the letters of the alphabet . The show booth arrived last week here , and her bf other , by a singular coincidence , was employed in one of the departments connecteq with the building , and recognised his Jong lost sister in , the interesting poBiure master . Her father , wi& the assistance of the police ,, conveyed herto his housey-but she is so pleased with the m ^ le attire that neither threats nor persuasion can pre ^ vail on her to " part with the breecheB .

So far as we have been able to learn , the circumstances which led to the apprehension of . Smith and hia supposed accomplice , were these : —On Monday afternoon , on the balancing of the transactions of the bank for the day , it was discovered that there was a deficit of about £ 2 ^ 000 in the amount of cash to be accounted for by Smith . This cansed seme inquiry , and excited some suspicion that all was no ; right ; 'bnt on looking slightly into tbe matter again , the defalcation appeared to be a comparatively trilling amount , and Smith was allowed to go away asi if nothing

      had occurred . Daring the evening , however , on a strict examination being made , it was discovered ( hat a false entry had been made , which accounted for the difference in the sums which appeared to be deficient on the previous examinations . This having folly coiifirmed the former suspicions the police were apprised of the matter , and about two o ' clock on Tuesday morning Smith was apprehended and lodged in the Police-ofHcs . From some documents found in his possession , it was apparent ihat money transactions , to a large amount , bad passed between him and the spirit-dealer referred to , and this led to the subsequent apprehension of the latter . Both prisoners underwent a long examination yesterday , and were ultimately remanded , thatthe matter might be further investigated .

      The Fruits of the Eabth . —From reason and revelation , is appears that Gfpd intended the fruits of the earth for man ' s support ; but as ke did aotintend any waste or misapplication of these broduc-. tions , such acts are , like others more expressly mentioned * wrong , as contrary to God's will . Hence the conversion of corn fields . into parks for deer or covers for . foxes ; the non-cultivation of Jands , by parties in possession , or the refusal to let thei | i to those who ; will cultivate them ; the destruction or waste pf food , with a view to increase the prifte of stocks on hand ; . the expending on dogs and herpes the sustenance of man , or tbe conversion of grain into ardent spirits ; these , and in short , all " acts by which the food of man is diminished , either in quantity or quality , are sinful , as opposed to God ' s desire for the happiness of his creatures . —Pake ' s Mofdl Philosophy . . ¦ - '" : ' .
