His preaching was crowned with wonderful success. ‘The Queen, the Princes fand Princesses of the kingdom became con- | verted, and their subjects followed in thou- ‘sands. St. Patrick followed up his victory, jand, in a short time, overthrew the pagan idols. He retired to the mountain, and, ‘after the example of Jesus Christ, prays and ' fasted forty days andforty nights. After hie | fast, he came forth and traveled East West, j and spreads the Gospel throughout the land, thus bringing down the blessings of |God upon the psuple. St. Patrick, during | his stay in Ireland, ordained 3,000 priests, lestablished 700 churches, aud consecrated | 365 bishops. His life drew to a clese in 493. ‘The preacher dwelt on the success of the labors of St. Patrick in Ireland. His success will astound generations yet unborn, and will continue until the sound of the last trumpet is heard. ‘Wherever the children of Ireland were to be found, the light of faith always surrounded them. Other nations, he said, have, at different times, suffered for their faith, but Ireland has always suffered. Still in no nation did Faith so strongly exist. The Reverend gentlemen concluded his sermon by an eloquent elulogy of the Irish people through- ont the werld on their steadfastness to the Catholic religiou. At the conclusion of the Mass the pro- cession re-formed and paraded Great George, Water, Queen and Richmend Streets, to the Hall. Te-night a grand literary and musical entertainment will be lheld in the Market Hall for the relief of the Irish sufferers. _— Maritime Union. A correspondent of the Mencton Times writes : ‘* We cannot think that the ques- tion of Maritime Union is dead; on the contrary we believe that it is now just warming into new life and demands our careful consideration.

Sr. Parrick’s Day—contrary te the ex pectations of many—was ceiebrated in this) city by a grand procession, in which the| the particles thoroughly disentegrated, and | of the afificted, members of the Benevolent Irish Society and St. Patrick’s T. A. & B. y took part. Tue processionists, numbering over) two hundred and fifty, with flags, banners, | and regalia, and headed by Sc. Patrick’s! pociet Brass Band, marched from St. Patrick’s | Hall across Richmond to Queen and up Dorchester Sts. to St. Dunstan's Cathedral Here a High Mass was celebratedby Rev.’ Father McGilvary, assisted Drs, Cheaisson|\ and Walker. An eloquent sermon was do- livered by the Rev. Father McGilvray, of which we publish the following summary:- The sverend gentleman began his sermon by describing the relation of the Saints to God, and also setting forth the reason for the reversnce shown by Catholics towards the Saints. He then! drew attention to the fervor and zeal with which St. Paul labored for God. saints, he said, immortalized themselves by; their great labor and love fer God, and among those was the great Saint whose feast we celebrate to-day. He then pro- ceeded wit': an elaborate description of the sufferings of St. Patrick during the period of his captivity in Ireland and, in eloquent terms, referred to the manner in which the holy saint, in his youth, in the mid- night hour, on the dark hills of Erin, pray- ed to God that He might give him strength to carry out the great work which, from holy visions, he knew he was destined to periorm, viz: the conversion of the Irish people tu Christianity. After six years of captivity, St. Patrick returned to Gaul, and there prosecuted studies which he knew would fit him for the task he was! about to take upon himself. Rome was | then the great seat of learning. Thither| he proceeded and, in the words ef the! preacher, “‘ drank deeply from the great! fountains of learning.” He was’ shortly | raised to the priesthood, and subsequently | consseratod Bishop by the great Celestina. | Hs returned to Ireland in the year 432. | The country was then in the darkness/ of lLarosrity.~ Its people adored beasts of the field. As he landed! ha consecrated every inch of Irish soil, and, | raising his voice toGod.prayed that He mizht' shower fis graces upon the land, and ? Other vi) mm! wié cnange the hearts of the people. Before the morniag—which follows St. Patrick's. landing - dawned, he planted the Cross on u 4 ‘ : } } 7 the soil, and, said tha preacher, altheugh, tine and again the storms of persecution| swept tu:.ously over the land, that Cross was never shaken. The work of Christi. amity was then commenced. The proacher then described the manner in which the Saint proceeded to Tara, thedwelling nlace of th f aonarch of Ireland. Hs action t ere was geaucd, sublime, and majestic. | he addressed the multitude they trembled in awe before him.

Sir, —The Government of Ontario a few weeks ago, anticipating the repeal ef the In- solvent Law, passed an act, providing for an equitable division of estates to prevent debt- ors (as I understand it) from giving preferen- tial security to favored creditors and friends, The Geverninent of New Brunswick alse contemplate enacting such a measure ; and I trust our Local Government will bo sufflcient- ly alive to the interest of the mercantile com- munity in this Prevince to do likewise, As imprisoument for debt is now done away with, we also should have on the Statute Book a lien and attachment law, as talked. of last session.
