A DISCLAIMER.

(To tlie Editor) Sir, — The very silly {.waddle which your nameless correspondent (Kavelock) A mistakes for wit, should, T think, noM have had a place in your columns. It attempts — with what propriety or success I leave to every candid man to judge— to ridicule the honour done by the Catholic inhabitants of this district to a dignitary of that church, which numbers" in its fold, I believe, over three-fourths of the Christian world. Big. >try, "ill-nature, and vulgarity must surely enter largely into the composition of a man capable of pening so scurrilous and so false a production. You have my name below, and T * aver that every statement in the communication is iucorrect, saving two, viz., that there was a procession, . and that a gentleman called for three cheers for his Lordship the Bishop ; even this last has an untruth tacked to it — the gentleman who proposed the cheers did not dismount from his horse. Finally, the truth is that the procession was numerous, sober, orderly, and effective. It consisted o eighty-six hot^e-nan, two two-h>rse carriages, one on !-!>ors3 carriage, a gig, and spring-ciH-, and from beginning to enJ was not marred by a single bungle, aco^ dent, or impediment. — I am, <fee, T.
