named William Martin residing in his neigh

temperance pledge. He then commenced
preaching temperance nnd getting the members
of his flock to take the pledge which increas

He went to Limerick, a short distance from
Cork, for the put pose of administering the
pledge, expecting to find about of K) people there,
instead of which 'JO.O(M) bad collected, nil
anxious to have the pledge administered to
them. Father Matho v was overpowered with
the excess of his happy emotions. Ho said it

"Yes," was the reply of Father Matl.ew, "I do;
nnd I know ao that your brother is one of the

Malhew, nware that he would be the object of
clerical censure, and perhaps removal, wrote to
the Pope ot Rome, anil got a commission sent
back to him as Vicar Apostolic, which took him
out of the hands of the Bishops in flreat Britain
and Ireland. The Pone said to him. "vou look
to me and I will look to you," so that we have

parsimony in taking a shilling each for medals,
but he is not amenable to the censure, as the

Everything in nature tends to an average :
the mountains and valleys arc approaching tho

not yet arrived, but come it will. The contrast
between the poor and the rich is too violent to

clergyman, seventy years old, was last week
cut to prison for a month's rent of 50 shiliings,
and in bis pleading for more time he said, "I

and God help me, only some old matting to co

The Times of the same day announces the
Queen's intention of giving a magnificent se

a royal v sit to the Italian Opera, where no dis

from the 'full-dressed' thousand filling the five

that a poor woman, who yesterday was passing

"There she goes in 'all her finery, and many

und saw a number of men and Ikivs crying out
nnd selling Father Mathews's Temperance
Sermon of the the lust Sunday. On coming to
where Father Mathew was, wc found him ad
ministering the pledge to sixty nnd n hundred
persons at n time. His mode of doing so was
to make them kneel down and repeat the
pledge us ho pronounced it. I was introduced
tohim us from the Foiled States. He took
hold of' both my hands, and said he was al .v ays
glad to see any one from the United States, and
asked me as to Mr. Delevan and others. In
1S15 I gave the firht pledge in favor of Tem
perance, but thought on this occasion I might as
well renew it, and applied to father M.ithevv
to that ellect. lie said he would administer it
to me alone, and did so, at the same time giving
mo his liled.'ii.
The hair ot' father Mathew is a little grey.
He told me that he was nlmut 11 1y-l'our years ot
age. He w ears a long surtout, which comes
about half way between his knees and ankles,
and old-fashioned boots over bis pantaloons.
He shakes hands with so many that his hands
and face usual'y show the effects of it. He is
no way paiticulir, kissing th.' f.ices of the lit
tle children' which the mothers hold up to him,
whether clean or dirty. He admini-ters the
pledge ton large number nt once. He then
gives them what be calls the sign of the cross
which is a little dab on the forehead, and it is
incredible bow fist he gets through withtheni,
completing probably thirty in a minute. By
request, 1 then addressed the people told them
my milernal ancestors belonged to Ireland.
Hurrah for Ireland, was the loud applause. I
then told them that if Father Mathew came to
New Yu'k, fifty thonsand Irishmen would as
semble with him in the Park to take the pledge.
Hurrah for New York was the reply. And
thus they continued greeting in a good -humored
manner what I advanced.
