A recent number of the Dublin Tablet, an Irish Catholic journal, calls to account several of the Irish members of Parliametit for failing in' their duty to the Church.— We insert part of the article, as we find it is the Dublin'correspondence of the Phihtdel tibia-North American : "This country Of ours is a Catholic coun try, the real constituents of it are the bishops and priests. We take this for; granted, arid 'we do not see how it can be questioned. Thorn are of course excep• tions ;. places where lay influence predomi nates ; but, on the whole, the Irish repre sentation is the work of the, priesthood,— The Irish members are in Parliament be-, cause the priests have sent them there'; they know It perfectly Well, and the Pro testants are not ignorant of it. The Irish I priests are alio the only priests in Europe or America that ,have snob powers. and who Ho under so grand a responsibility.— It is in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in a parliament fierce ly Protestant, and in the fape of the most virulent hatred of the Christiau religion. that the priesthood wields this formidable power. It is to their credit, and to the °red- it of the people they govern ; it is an hon. orable tribute to their worth, and to the excellency of their life. They can do in Ireland what the priests cannot do in France., Belgium, or Piedmont ; and they du 'it openly in the face of the Government, and no man dares to molest them. "Well, atter this, we do not think it on. reasoxable to expect some sorter reverence - for the -priesthood in Parliament,. Some fifty gentlemen or more sit there by favor of priests, and yet none of them will de fend their oonstituenteand their masters when the Prime Minister abuses the ;bale sacerdotal order, and calumniates, either from ignorance or malice, the Holy See. Such is our abjetition and worldli ness, that we have nothing 'to say when the Sovereign Pontiff is stupidly reviled. We fear that this silence does not proceed from arty Christian spirit of patience ; for whenever an honorable metriber thinks himself unjustly mitered he seems never to sleep over the injury." This extract deserves more than a hasty reading. It assorts that Irish Priests di rectly control Irish polities ; that fifty . members of Parliament are 'there by favor of the priests ;" that the real constituents of these members are the bishops and priests and that Protestant Britain has a "most viruleut haired of the Christian religion." lv , efant , 4 replies , thatqletiflifinitliitti Wittig Christienity, still Adhering to the Routish idea that Protestants are heretics, and that heretics are only fit for the stake. The Priests control the politics of Ire land., because they hold the people in ter ror of their power, and because thus they can most certainly tidvattee the interests of the Church, to which they have sworn a paramount duty. Who doubts that Amer ica would be as priest.ridden as Ireland, if our population were as abject, and if the people would yield to the arrogant de mands of the Romish Clergy ? Already we have seen the intentions of Rome, in its foray upon our Common School System, and our laws relating to the holding of Church Property. Lot us beware how we place ourselves at the moray of such a master. KrA bitter Contrciversy is said to have occurred lately between the . Secretor) , o War and General Scott, relative to a point of o ffi cial etiquette, originating in General Scott having granted six months leave o absence to Gen. Hitchcock. siirSentitor Douglass hos addressed a public electing at St. Louis, denounoieg all interfeierum by Congress in the local affairs of, territories. This is the now'doctriee by which the outrages of the Missouri mob are to be shielded. Whflt Is ProscOlptlon. Is it proscription to oppose a class or a party because you consider their prinei plea wrong• and their measures injurious ? If that is proscription, then are men of all parries proscribed. Then are both tilla verynien and Anti-sliverymen, Anfericana and Foreigners, Protestants and Cathrilies proscribed. How absurd, therefore, hi our opponents to cry out “proscriptios," when . Americans speak of the •.dangers. which they see or apprehend in- a Foreign Hierarchy intermedling indirectly with bur civil government ! Is it proscription to guard against danger and oppose what you believe to be wrong.? If so, then we plead guilty: But are not Popery and those who have espoused her cause guilty of proscribing the Americans for opposing them Who has given to the Pope, the Priest, or any other eccleciastical dignita ry the right of judging for Freemen . ; in this free country in matters relating to civ it government I Are not those who would see a mote in their neighbor's eye afflict ed with a beam in their own I Let men be careful when they think they are op. posing a wrong, so as not to wallah's wrong themselves.

They also nominated Ex-Governor RIZEDKR as their caudidate, and he accepted the nomination. it seems certain, therefore, that the eit izens of Kansas will refuse obedience to the laws enacted by the late Legislature ; —that they will refuse to pay the taxes it has levied, and will resist forcibly any at tempt to collect them or to punish offend ers against their enactments. This will bring about a direct collision between the people and the Government—for Gover- nor SHANNON has declared his determina tion to enforce obedience to those loon ; and there is every reason to 'apprehend a civil war, in Kansas, as the result of the conflict. Nothing can now prevent, it but but the abject submission of the people to the usurpation of their rights, or the abandonment by the Usur pers of their high-handed scheme's.

The slaughter was terrific, especially In the French repulses, 'l'he French had fifteen thousand 'killed and wounded, and the English 'about the same ninnber, making a total of 30,000. The Russians evacuated the town after bloir ing up their defences, and sinking all their ships, and firing the town, leaving nothing but smouldering ruins. Five French Generals were killed, including Gen. Bosqnet. A large allied force was marching towards the coast to intercept the retreat. of the Rut sians inland„with immense material of war.

The enemy perceiving our solid occupation, evacuated after blowing up nearly all the defences. The chief honors of the day are due to Generals Bouvet and Mallo' Ver.!' PLAN OP TUN BATTLE. The phut of the tiattle appears to hare been as follows: The place was attacked in four directions. The British troops attempted the storming. of the Redan; thooFreneh attacked the Malakoff; the extreme right of the french wade a diversion on the little Redact,. and a united attack of the English. French and Sar dinians was made on the Central battery. 411 the attacks were made simultaneously with great spirit and energy ; but one which was eminently successful was led by General Bou quet and General McMahon on the Malakoff. Both the Redan and Central Bastion. were at times in the bands of the storming parties. So accurately did• the guns of the Russians cover these that as soon as the English had gained possession of them it was found impossible to hold them. RUMORS IN REGARD TO THE RUM The Paris correspondent of the London Times of Saturday says it is reported that 0.- 000 troops had embarked at Balaklam for tha north of Sebastopol, who report that the Rue- Wane there wine in full retreat towards Perekop. The Paris papers are discussing the question whether Sebastopol is tenable by the allies while the Russians ate masters of the forts on the north side fronting the sea. F . A despatch from Dantzio of the 14th says that the Baltic ships of the allies are expectid to be ordered home Immediately. • It was rumored in the London clubs that the allies round 1,200 guns in Sebastopol. Also that the Russians were falling back on Batch.. aerie, but the French minors say that the Ras elms certainly would hold the north side of Sebastopol to the last extremity. Also that the admirals of the allied fleets had decided that it was not expedient to enter the hither of Sebastopol until Fort Constantine should be silenced. • Probably the allies will attack this fort froth FOrt Alexander and Aftillity Bay. ranseu, Sept. 9th.--The assault upon the' Malakoff tower was made yesterday noon, sad later on the great Redan and Central Bandon. A gale from the north kept the ahips at anchor; nod the mortar boats, to be enabled to fire, were obliged to enter Sireleteka Hay. They, fired six hundred shells against the Quarantine Ilitation end Fort Stready. Six English mor tar, boats also anchored in Streletske Bay end fired about the same number of shells. Last night violent explosions and vast con. fiagrations made us suppose that the Malaise* were evacuating the town. Today we aseez milled that the Russian vessels had !mensal*.
