PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1861. Eiljt ;Artss. THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1861 Father Tom and the Pope. In Blackwood's Magazine, for May 1888, appeared an article which obtained a popula rity as sudden as it has been permanent. It is entitled et Father Tom and the Pope : or, A Night at the Vatican. [As related by Mr. Michael Heffernan, Master of the National School at Tallymactaggert, in the county of . Leitrim, to a friend during his official visit to Dublin, for the purpose of studying Political Economy, in the Spring of 1838.]" Father Tom was the Reverend Thomas Ma guire. The Pope was Gregory XVI., imme diate predecessor of Cardinal Mastai Feretti, who was elected Pope, in May 1848, and took the title of Pius IX. We beg lettAM to add that Gregory XVI., whe was Cardinal Mau rus Cap6ilari before elected to the tiara, was about the last clergyman, in or out of the , Vatican, to indulge in such a symposium as was described by Mr. Michael Heffernan. The Reverend Thomas Maguire, who was living when his [imaginary] adventures in the Vatican were recorded, was a very different man. During the last twenty years of his life, he was in charge of a pariah in the county of Leitrim, in Ireland, and was most popular :With all classes and sects. He was educated at .Maynooth College, where he took orders in the /dab Catholic Church. He was a dia lectician, of great power and ingenuity, and, shortly before the celebrated Clare Election in 1828, had greatly distinguished- himself, in a public and prolonged controversial discussion with the Rev. Mr. Pope, a Protestant clergy man from Cork. When Mr. Maguire accepted the challenge boldly given by Mr. Pope, he was little known out of Mayneoth, and it was dreaded by many of his own persuasion, that he would be defeated—not from an idea that his cause was weak, but beeause he, an un known and untried champion, was to be op posed to the most able and most practised po lemic of the Protestant Church. The discus eon, held in the Rotund°, in Dublin, lasted a whole week, and excited much attention in the religions world. Each controversialist had to assail three leading articles of his an tagonist's creed, and defend three of his own. To the surprise of all, Mr. Maguire proved equal, at least, to his more practised opponent. As usual, both parties claimed the viciery— at all events, Mr. Maguire was admitted to have most distinguished himself. It is plea sant to add that a warm friendship between Mr. Pope and Mr. Maguire sprung ont °Ms . wordy cc passage of arms." When Mr. Pope died, of consumption, in a foreign land, Mr. Maguire's grief was deep indeed. In ti Sketches of the Irish Bar," an allusion is made to this controversy. Mr Shen. says, te Pope brought to the combat great fluency and a powerful declamation. Maguire was a master of aduilatitic logic. After several days of controversy, Pope was overthrown, and ` Father Tom, as the cham pion of orthodoxy, became the object of popu lar adoration." Soon afte; the drive and scum of the Orange party r •in the northwest of Ireland, got up a charge of immorality against "Father Tom," who was successfully de fended by O'Connell. In gratitude, when the Clare Election commenced, he tendered his services to O'ConnelL Mr. Sheil wrote, "His name alone was of great value, .and when his coming was announced, the people everywhere rushed forward to hail tho great vindicator of the national religion." The jovial and reverend partisan is them de scribed by Mr. Shell r He is not greatly tif o sinwith eommand of decorated phrase aria he w it, r 7 D riitiong and iimPle reitBbli; ing, which is equally intelligible to all classes. He employs the syllogism of the schools as his chief weapon in argument, but uses it with Bush dexterity that his auditors of the humblest class can follow him, without being aware of the technical expedient of logic by which he masters the understanding. His ! manner is peculiar a it is- not flowery, nor de clamatory;but is ishort,"somewhat abrupt, and, to use the Freactphraise, is trenchant. his immatenande is- adapted to his mind, and is expressive of the reasoning and controversial faculties. A quick, blue eye, a nose slightly turned up, and formed for the tossing off of an argument, a strong brow, a complexion of mountain ruddiness, and thick lips, which are better formed for rude disdain than for polish ed sarcasm, are his characteristics." The Reverend Thomas Maguire was an emi nently social man, without overstep* what Shakspeare calls , 4 the limits of blcoming mirth." Be was an excellent judge ot horse flesh, and always had a couple of fine hunters in his stable. Be delighted in field exercises, and was reported to have, at one time,'lmen so ruiclerical as even to keep a pack o f hounds. A few greyhounds, in a coursing conatry, pro bably gave rise to this report. It is generally admitted that when Lever s In “Jack Hinton, the Guardsman," sketched Father Tom Loftus, the eccentric priest of Murranakilty, it was Mr. Maguire whom he then bad in his mind's eye. Be deserved, to the fill, what Lever wrote of the "Father Tom" of fiction: cc Fa ther Loftus sleeps in Murranakilty. No stone marks his resting-place but not a peasant's foot, for many a mile round, has not pressed the little pathway that leads to ids grave, to offer up a prayer for a good man, and a friend to the poor." The real Father Tom died and dearly, several years ago, and it was ouipeoted that he was poisoned by two of his own ser vants, who desired to appropriate to. them selves whatever portable property he was pos- nestled of. There are only five 'Chapters' in 44 Father Tone and the Pope." The first relates how Father Tom went to take pot-luck at the Vati can. It seems that the Padre was in Borne, and was invited to take pot-luck with the Pope, on a Friday—cc when there's no fast on the • dhrink, any bow." Laehryma-christi,,and claret are held in disdain by Father Tom as "too sold for the stomach," and so, with per mission, he brings out of his pocket a quart bottle of whiskey--Potheen, that bad never seen the face of a gauger—and gives His Holi ness a grand receipt for making punch. As it is worthy of remembrance, here it is : "Pat in the sperits first," says his Rivirance, cc and then put in the sugar ; and remember, every [ ilhrop of water you put in after that spoils the punch." ' In Chapter 11., Father Tom sacks his Holi ness in theology and logic. Chapter 111. re cords cc How Father Tom made a hare of his Holiness in Latin." On the suggeetion of the Pope, they converse in Latin, Ilk fear that the devil would understand what they were say ing—which intimates that the Gentleman in Black is not a classical scholar ! In Chapter IV. they dispute in listaphysies and Algebra —previous to which Father Tom proceeds to brew milk punch (or seances) With the assist ance of one Eliza, the well-looking house. keeper of the Vatican, whom—Tv:wrest° ra ferens t—he actually kisses before the Pope's eyes, and then argues that it was only a de ep/to vista. The concluding Chapter recounts why Father TOM was not made a Cardinal ~.. namely, that he persuaded his host to smoke a pipe of gcnagur-head tobacco," which (and not the punch, of course) made him so unwell that he had to go to bed, leaving Father Tom master of the field, but not inviting him to re new the visit. This scanty description of Mr. Michael Heffernan's Blackwood article can only in adequately convoy an idea of the racy humor and ripe learning - which make its web and woof. It has been republished several times —in England, two years ago, in the series of Tales from Blackwood, and, in Philadelphia, about the Same time, by King and Baird, in type greatly too large for the small size 1 °Who page,.without a regular title-page, aid with sore coarsely executed wood-cuts.

In the neat edition on our table, the Preface expresses " the °Onion that Michael 13 etternan was the psendonyin of an ecclediestic, perhaps a Catholic, perhaps a Protestant, who, for ma sons obvious to hie 'readers, chose to maintain a strict incognita; and that this very remark able book was his only effort." It is not much of a book, inasmuult,as it occupies only thir teen pages in Blacktiooa.

Lord John Russell, in reply to the third question propounded to him, on the 6th inst., in the House of Commons, in relation to the course of the Government towards the United States, maid that, "with respect to belligerent rights in the case of a certain portions of a State being lii insurrection, there was a precedent, which seems applicable to this purpose, in the year 1825. Here he cited the case Of ' the revolt of the Greeks against the Turkish Government. Aware of the want of parallel ism in the - two cases, of the United States and Turkey, he glides out of that defence for : Partially acknowledging the Southern Con federacy, by stating;. that the British Govern ment, on the occasion above referred to, had asserted in justification of its recognition of the Greeks as belligerents, that cc the charac ter of belligerency was not so much a princi ple as a fact; that a certain degree of force and consistency acquired by any mass of po pulation, engaged in war, entitled that popula tion to be treated as a belligerent." if this is an established principle, what becomes of that of aeg de facie Government All that Eng land has to do, is to' decide, in the most insig nificant rebellion, that there has been acquired "a certain degree of force and conaletency," and acknowledge the rebels. Now, it was on the 6th instant that this answer was made; and on the 4th instant that the three. Sout hern Commissioners were informally intro duced to Lord John Ruse% z Sunday only intervened between the introduction and Lord John Russell's answer to the questions in the House. The significance of this we need not comment upon. Tho third question,was as follows g 4 The Goiernment of the United. States, having replied' topilln.' (lulu the belligermat s sight.of issuing letters of marque, the seven - Son.them COnfederated and nevereign States having become to Ma s i:la:eked States &temperate, and independent, and foreign Power, whether her Majesty's Goiernment recognizes the right of the President of the Southern Confederacy to issue letters of marque, and, it so, whether our minister it Washington had been notified to that effect ?" Now, the right here acknowledged by impli cation, of the United States, to issue letters of marque, cannot apply to the Southern Confe deracy, for it is assumed, at the same time, that the latter bee become, .d to the United States, a separate, and independent, and fo reign Power." It follows, then, that to accord the Southern Confederacy the right to issue letters of marque, it must he first granted that it has the rights of belligerents, as the first right cannot possibly, come from the non agreement of the United States to the aboli tion of privateering. The concluding question of the paragraph quoted, as to whether 4( our minister at Washington had been notified to that effect," should have been, whether "our minister had been notified to return," as the acknowledgment, in the first part of the ques tion, if answered affirmatively, would certainly necessitate his return. So much for our hope in official quarters. As to the journals, with some honorable ex ceptions, there is otter misunderstanding of this rebellion, or else an intention to subordi nate justice to self-interest. As we regard the matter, the honorable course—and the course to which, at the same time, England's interest points—is that the United States should come out victorious in this straggle ; but seltinterest is sometimes short-sighted. Certainly, if ever nation deserved sympathy, we deserve it. If it ever deserved it from another nation, we deserve it from England. Her sin is visited upon us. She, of all others, has for years been in the foremost rank of proclaimers of universal liberty, and in no small measure has her press stirred up an tagonism in this country on the subject of slavery. Every one must see that cotton is the mo tive in all this. The English wear cotton, and they think that, even if the United States in stitutes a strict blockade while privateering is carried on by our enemy, our ships will con tinually be Called off their stations in the pur suit of privateers, and cotton could thus be occasionally procured, and probably our ti.taxatadosiiiirht then be declass...l:au - thilki that she sees in this wayless danger of losing cotton than if she bides the time when the United States could remove the embargo. England's position 'is more than suspicious;. but there is just enough want of precision in what has been uttered to leave her a loophole to escape. All she would have to do would be to declare that the Southern rebellion, in view of the magnitude of the power of the Government of the United States, has not ' yet acquired the g• degree of force and con- aistency" to entitle e , it to be treated Wig, helkierseststiss.s sessys-s-pso Cmcr aan-los lag sUstrong arm soon, than in the conviction that England will be influenced in any di. motion other than the one she believes to be that the o o her p f p o r u n M i t a y t e t r o la d i o in ri te g r h e t_ st. a She glorious h a s still op portunity. It Is understood that the United States have proposed to the British Govern. meat the abolition of privateering. England cannot pretend that her view as to the beinoueness of it has changed. If she refuse, what can that refiisal mean but one thing? The United States never advocated it. They merely contended for it as a necessity, in default of a navy, and they were willing to agree to abolish it with , an amendment to the act proposed as international law, which t amendmentheocean. rwould vat e p o r r o i protect byt privateth the United t ipropertyted Statesen Would have been a far different warfare from privateering by the Southern Confederacy. England has her choice, to take our offer made in our time of need, or blacken her national character by a refusal—the reason for which will be as is plain as day. If the Southern Cotr 1 federacy fully achuowledged as a belli gerent, it may be difficult, with our vessels, to 1 establish a thoroughly effective blockade, and ' England, taking advantage of any omission on our part, may declare the blockade not effective, and consequently not valid. We are no alarmists ; but it is well to fain over all contingencies, and consider them well. There is oue thing,however, that iliany event we can, and if necessary should do, to Make the blockade complete. Wherever the sink ing of hulks will save the presence of a man of-war, they may be sunk, and the channels completely obstructed. The outlets of the Mississippi can be thua advantageously ae• cured. If it would be urged that we would thus risk the destruction of harbors, our answer is, that we must risk it. It is useless to fight an active enemy with one arm tied behind our backs. This is or is not a war. If it is not, patch up a better peace in some way ; but if it is, a war it cannot be conducted suc cessfully while one side uses all means to j u trust, r however, , e showwill i ld sue th h e t h a o a t t hotteahrteecmooamfniyanitgatirserkhveeeire thattWwoe England will be glad enough to recede from all that looks ominous at present. The Employment of Sailing vessels. [For The Pram) Mn. Enrroa : Every good citizen is ex pected to contribute to the public safety, now that our country is in difficulty. I would respectfully suggest the idea of em ploying and equipping for war purposes some of our fleetest coasting schooners. They could be fitted out at trifling expense, and can be selected from regular sea-going Crafts to those of very light draught, according to their dasti nation, for speed and safety can defy the world, and wouldemake a valuable auxiliary to our navy for blockading purposes, and capturing Jeff. Davis' Privateers. Oar coasting men are, or ought to be, the most experienced ; they can sail along our extended coast with safety, without light-honses or buoys, enter harbors without other marks than those unalterable ones made by Nature. Long experience bail also taught them to take every advantage of the different seasons of the year—a knowledge Of Which is indispensable. Unfortunately, we *now nothing about handling guns; but if our Government wants their guns and marines transported within shooting distance of the enemy, at any parti cular time, we can do that part, and are waiting a call. We have the vessels and men to man them, and believe them, when in connection with steamers, more effective than the same tonnage in larger vessels. Of, course, some experienced men from our navy must conduct the fighting departments on board. Then , we have a navy already on hand. These remarks are made that you and others may show the world that all our available fighting torees are not yet developed. ONE OF MEM. Ssavutr, Cape May, N. J.

Sir, the poorest man in our regiment would °welder himaelf forever diegmeed if he uttered but the smallest complaint of any want, or any denial he has suffered in a cause so sacred as this.

When it dies liberty dies ; while it lives liberty lives. In my humble judgment, while the grass grows, and the white clouds float in God's ammo as they float now, that nag will wave without a star dimmed or a stripe erased. [Cheers j They talk of that other banner, that miserable reptile fiag, with some seven stars. We want all the stars and all the stripes, and we will have every star and every stripe upon its folds and every sore of ground within our glorious limits. [Great applauge.l Trcastakmtnst des.

The freemen of the country have taken the eontraot to put down the revolt, and they want to do it—they moan to do it.' (Wild appianee.) I. only represent these gallant men, when I say, sir, that their motto is, death to .everything that crosses the path of the Union. [Cheers.] It is not for toe to refer to the feet that these young men, from the mountains of our old State—your State and mine, God bless her ! bared their tireare,-.unarmed, to the mob of Baltimore. Where a Washington monument towered to the . Heavens, they feared no viojenee; they thought to meet no enemy. Carrying . this glorious eta u blew, they thought they were among friends ; and 'though they found foes, they came here, .as you have so elequently described, unarmed, and, if I may use the expression, " fluttering their rags with an air of majesty." [Laugh ter.] You have referred to the fact that there was a want of oare of thane young men in some quarter. I grant it. They have not been so equipped, nor have they had their wants supplied, as citizens of our State deserved. It is not fir me to Say where the fault lies, but then men know that even the commisserlat blankets, mob as were 'furnished to them, (and I can ima gine none worse,) may be worn like , the purple of an emperor! [Laughter and 'applanee I It has been said, and if may have had Its el foot upon the public—l know not and care not— that probably England may, to advance a sup posed manufacturing interest, take part in this great struggle, in behalf of the rebels of the South; but, sir, I have no fear that England will become so lost to all sense of honor, and so diametrloall7 opposed to all her past history. .1 fear it not. The supposition does her injustice. Bat it England-- and.while I am in this mood, under this flag, and upon this American green, I will , say, that if any alliances can be made by these traitors with any of the European nations, let ne know it now, while we are in the humor. Let us go into the fight like the Sioux Indiana, who never count their foes. [lmmense applause.] I fear I am. making too long a speed for a man who wears a uniform, brit let me make one farther remark. There are men throughout all the South who aympathize with our Union canoe. There are true men as ever lived in these so-called Con. federate States. They cry to us for help and succor. Weighed down by an armed despotism, with the yoke of an unscrupalous enemy around their 'leaks, without the means to strike a blow for liberty, they call upon the Government for arms and for means to aid them in their struggle against Ude despotism. What would you think of a Government that would refuse to aid and protect them ? Shell we not extend a helping - hand to the gallant men ofEentneki, Western Virginia, Eastern Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia ? It is our duty to afford them all the assisuoma ea an, power. if evirnurto - mhApv......—roleni into their midst, to send our eagles there, and give them all the aid that men, arms, money, and Ships can give, thin great Government is faithless to ifs trust. We aye bound to protect them. Thousaads and hundreds of thousands of them give allegiance to this Government, aid when they demand protection we must protect them. If the Government failed to give that protection, it would fail of its high object and be consigned to perdition. Mr. Speaker. [Laughter.] Col Forney, lam done. You and I sometimes suppose we are in the hall of the House in our immediate najghimr_. sontad to us to-day by as noble, as patriotic, and as . generous a (fitted as our mountain land ever produced—Col.

The regiment greeted its flag with three ringing cheers the color guard took Replace in line, the band playing the " Red, White, and Blue,•" and thus closed the ceremonies of the presentation, one of the most inspiring and beautiful spectacles we ever witnessed GENERAL NEWS. VERMONT LOAN.—The attention of capital. fete is invited to the advertisement in another co lumn for proposals for a lon of $500,000 to the State of Vermont for military purpose:, twined by six per cent. State bonds, to be tuned under authority of an ad passed by the State Legislature at its late special session. The entire debt of the State of Vermont is only $175,000, to meat the interest on which the Legislature bus authorised a tax of $90,000. The resources of the State are abundant, and the present opportunity is a rare one for pro fitable investment on unquestionable security.— Exchange. GENER.kr. WArmAIDOE, Of New York, is in Washington, urging upon the Government to accept all the men who desire to enlist for the war, until at least four or five hundred thousand men are en rolled. This demonstration, it ii thought, will make the Ira a blood/ess one, and establish the military character of the nation abroad, as well al overcome treason at home.. It is a Christian and humane idea to crush the rebellion with the least possible amount of bloodshed. IT was boon ascertained that the rebel leader, Van Dorn, is at San detente; preparing for an In. vision of New Mexico. Be has under his command fourteen companies of cavalry, five of infantry, and one of artillery. The Federal forces in New Mesita> number fifteen hundred men. If they do not show more fight than their oomrades in Texas did, Van Dorn will have an easy victory. AGRICULTURAL prospects in Europe are not favorable. A London paper says : " All agricul tural reports, except those from the South of Eng land, are most gloomy. The trees are loaded with blossoms, but the cold tights and the blightint. northeasterly winds prevent the blossoms from set ting." In France, too, there are the same oom plaints.
