|. seems this is very profitable business for the
corporation officials. One OF the receipts, as, we
perceive, numbers "22O,' and the other ''5l9."
and we have seen others as high as nearly 1900 !"
There must it is clear, be very pretty penny made
by carrying these ordinances into operation. The

be singled out as objects Of annoyance and fine,
whilst others, guilty Of permitting the greatest
nuisances, are allowed to go scot free. Thus,
in many of the streets, large heaps Of oystershells
and ashes, and other filthy obstructions are allow
ed to remain in front of cellars and houses, without
the slightest attention being paid to complaints
against those who commit the nuisance. 1t would
be much more to the credit of these corporation
officials if, instead OF pouncing upon poor BARRIERS

remove from the public streets the accumulated
filth of three or four months.


The CATHOLICS OF BosToN AND THEIR ORGANS.
We perceive that meeting of the Catholics Of
Boston was held the other day, for the purpose OF
repudiating an article which appeared in paper

for liberty and free institutions which ID SO charac-
teristlc of the Irish heart. As for the influence Of
the Catholic priesthood in this country over the
political action OF their people, it is about equal to
that exercised by any other clergy. In some rare
lnstances-such as that Of Bishop Hughes-the
priests may have attempted to control the political
opinions Of their focks; but that game is not likely
to be repeated here after, and the very indignant
terms in which the Boston Catholics disciaim the
imputation alleged against them, will be re-echoed
by all their intelligent countrymen throughout the
