Thursday, Novctnher ‘Jftth, was the ninth anniversary of the death of this .sainted and beloved Prelate. The sad event was eommemoraied by a Solemn Requiem Mass at the Catholic Church in this City, the scene of his early Priest ly labors and triumphs. Mass was cele brated at V* o’clock A.

H : s well as the Altar and Cliuir jCullery, were appro priately draped in wiouruing. The Cata falque was the work of Mr. John Hurley, who holds the memory of his former bo loved benefactor as fre-h and green in Ins memory as when l.e > rvod the good Bi.-hop at the Altar. In the Sanctuary, were iiio venerable Father Duggan, the l>eIov« and jf>«»eiat*- and friend of Dr. Barry in all his good works, and Father Kirov, who had ju>t returned from the iNorth, whither ho had gone for his health.

We thank you. in the name nT' the Priesthood, for yom- irspcetful at tendance. But, what ebc could we ex pect froifi a grateful p« oph* towards their fate ehief Pastor, or liidun> of the Hi >- ceee of Savannah, th-.o hfa memory is dear to the people of Augusta; though, as Chief Pastor? but i» is not alone as Chief Pastor, or Bishop, of the Dio cese, some of yoit have j* eciverl frd» lifa hands the Holy Sacrament o! Foiffinna tion, by which you. received Grace and strength to profess openly and fearlessly that Holv Faith to which you have the happiness to belong. Yes, Grace, and stmedh, ami will, to lay down your very liven in defence of it. Still, it is as your lfK*al Pastor that he is specialty dear iu the memory of most ot vou. As Mich, he poured on the beads of many of you tlie regenerating waters of Baptism, by which you were rescued from the slavery of pin, made children of God, and eo hcii s with Jesus Christ to the Kingdom of Heaven. As Such, he brought you up in the way you should go, pointing out jhe *U;<ught and narrow way that leadetii M> eternal lifo, and warn ing ttte many sod net ion* and iemptutions wdiidh lay.on the broad road that leadeth to destruction. MASfMBSI 031* fSI Vs such, he prepared many of you with the most exact care for the recep tion of your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in the most august Sacrament of the Kucharist; telling you, “unless you cut the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you shall not have eternal life,** and then warning you of the great ne cessity of preparing properly for its re ception, saying, in the words of St. Paul; “ Whosoever shall cat this Bread or drink the Chain** of the Lord unworthily shall bo guilty af the lx>dy and blood of the Lord. And lie that catcth and drinketh unworthily eatetb and drinketh judgment to himself not discerning toe body of the Ford.” As such, he tdessed that happy union into which you entered, in his presence’ before the Altar of God. As such, after an humble, and contrite confession, he prp 5 rum need over you the words of absolu tion, which, once more, restored you to the love and friendship of Almighty Cod, forfeit**! by mortal sin. As such, he aL tended at the bedside of your dyings of that dear father, of that fond mother, of that kind brother, and that sweet sister, he pronounced the words of absolution ovei* thorn. He signed and sealed them with the holy oils, rt| (he Sacrament of Extreme Vnetion, which blotted out flip remains of sin. He Joined with them iu their last earthly words, “Into thy bauds, O! Lord, l recommend my spirit. Jesus, have mercy on me! Mary and Joseph, intercede fob me!’’ As such, he pro nounced over their remains the Absolu tion 1 shall pronounce over that Cata fahpie to-*lay. These arc a few, and only a few, of the claims which, as your Local*Pastor, hp has to your prayers and your remem brance, a* Catholics. But, why do*"1 maki* the distinction between Catholics and others ? I simply make it only' as tar as his kioCrdotai ministrations were concerned. For, in all respects and re lations, he ought to be as dear in the memory of wry citizen of Augusta, p in the memories of his own flock. “Chari ty,” say.> St. Paul, -deuleth uot per versely. Charity sceketh not l»or own.” If over the royal robe of Charity—of uni versal Catholic charity—came down from the high 1T« ;iv< ns and adorned the shoul ders of mortal man, the shoulders of him whose memory wc reverence and respect to-day wore adorned by it, His Charity sought not its own.* Let us go back to ls.'ivt, when the Yellow Fever, that terri ble scourge of tropical climes, visited Augusta as an cpidenifo. Where do we find that frail form—-that Minister of a then despised Religion * l)o we tind him of that naturally weak and frail constitu tion rusticating, in order to shun the epidemic ' No ! we find him ready and prepared to spud himself in the service of his God, and the service of Buffering humanity. We tind him giving the con solations of religion to his own; and wc find him at the bedside of those who are not of his own flock, attending to their corporeal wants. We find him at the bedside of dying parents—so troubled about their dear offspring, whom they were leaving after them—comforting then) in the* words of our Loral himself ; “Suffer those little ones to come unto me.” We find him converting his own humble dwelling | into an Hospital and Orphan Asylum, calling, from Charles ton, the good Sisters of Merry to bt«aid, who immediately responded. Oh! truly at e the gtxnl words of our Lord Verified in him: “ I was hungry, md you gave me to eat; 1 was thirsty, and you gav« me to dtink; l was a stranger, and you took me in; I was naked, and you clothed me; sick, and you visited me ; I was in prison, and you canao to roe.’’ Bitchy dilate on these things? You know them bettor than 1. lam not going to preach a panegyric, hut 1 am going to draw a murid, practical conclusion Irotn the text and the circumstances. God, when he shall come to judge the world, says to those who shall have performed the good works mentioned in our text: “ Lome to me. ()! ye blessed of my Father, possess ye the Kingdom prepared tor yon from the foundation of the world » This is Hitrtdy a prize w* ought to secure to our selves. How can wc do it ? There is, at present, an Orphan’# Home WHilhe cutirse ts erection. Another epidemic may come. Got! knows how soon the services of other Priests, ami other Bis ters ottUrev, will he reared. W.th Sod’s grace, they, in their owo Iminble way, will stand to their ISIS’-, come dan ger! come Death! Tl»e», I say, lot the Charity of all unite iu UnWitu;? that Or pbans’ Home. By doing so, yon shall oiler a tribute worthy oi the men.ory of Bishop Barry, who wa* styled, m a strange laud, a second St. VjnoeW Dc Paul; and, in Hue, you have the asetiraßUO of Jesus Christ, that, as long amyou did it i* owe ts tho»o little oaea, you did it tor Him. * ••> •! ?

In the lowest alums o# th** city, bounteous tables, heaped high with turkey, piuru puddiug, and so on, ar4 provided l*y private charity, and, even in the j ui* and prisons, the fat of the land is furnished iu lieu of the ordinary convict false. It is, ii-o, a euMom, at least among the lower orders, to attend the Theatre at night, and, as a consequence, the second rate pfactH of sr« hugely crammed, t’hitf among theee resort* fa the “Old.

For years, it has l*een the Mecca ts the New York ‘Vhoy,” to which, of a night, with hi- “gal” upon hfa arm, be would resort for intellectual refreshment At may well bo imagined, the style of drama most in vogue was the highly sensational, raw-houd-aud-bloody-bones school, full of daring cucoviutera, fierce single combats, hair-breadth escapes, rant, fustian, and rhodomuntude. In too dress oirclo would ,it |hs • b'hoys” and theirdulcfaoa, and in what in other theatres fa the par quet, but w i* in this ‘ the pit”—for, afas! even toe Old Bowery has been recoil* Mrooted —would swariu, on rough, wooden benches, ail the little blackguard boot blacks and newsboy* of Gotham, In old times too pr ice of admission to this para dise was I*2] cents, and, whatever else befall, the New York gamin was sure to save ‘‘the pit .-hilling.” Not to see the ’f* Bloody White Ghost,” or ‘‘The Ram pipirvUi Robber ts the Ardennes” wmh a tiling uot to be ihougiit of, and, though, to do so, they must go. without dinner and supper, too little nfaues of the . street would be on ha»*l With such respecta bio audiences, too plays bt'gan, and ouch plays, 0! reader, may it be youra to look upon, if ever in toe dumps, and desirous of a hearty laugh. Generally, there was some beautiful peasant girl, personifying virtue, whom a villain of a Duko or Bari persecuted with his addresses, and would infallibly have carried off in his chariot, “which waits bevond the hedge, ha! ha!” only, just at this jucturc, in would rush the virgin s * lover, and, with a melo dramatic cry of “Hah ! dog, hast 1 found thee,’’ pitch into the wicked nobleman. Then, would cornea inoat terrific contest. Vice would lug out a fierce bnsket-hilfcod sword about a foot oik! a half fang, and confront the young girl’s lover with a proud, aristocratic scorn. Back aad forth, up and «fowu, now to toe front, and now at the back of tlie stage, the fight would rage, the dumpy claymores keeping a non of running aeeowpatmoout to afaw murtie, by the baud, while the virtqgd young village maiden would flop down upon her kuee% ami fang a sentimental song. By toe time this was over, the villain wauld receive a mortal watted* and, picking a soft spot to luß fa, woukl kegjd to die. Just herv, Whs always ;i faruto; less interest. The Old Bowery tfNt famous T>r its “dfaa,” aud none but & prime favorite with. fae- audience, was ! even up*m that »« villam* part. First, kicking out one leg; tlmn i the other; then, giving a wrigtdc t*> the right; then, one to the left; then, giving one big wriggle all over, and a most sepuiebral groan; now, jumping up, and an«*n, tailing back, and, finally, with a perfect whirlwind of kicks, wriggles, leaps, groans, and acpiwma, V r ice would make an end of it, aad the house com*.* down. After thia, would, generally, come a light dish, in the way of a hornpipe, or eomio song, fa the course of which, the aristocrats ot tlie dress circle would make furums love to their “gala” ami tbo boys of the pit oat apples, and ground-nuts and pickled pig H teet, and throw the cores, hulls, and bones about hi playful showers. Such was, aad perhaps is, the Old Bowery, at the doom whereof clamored #o huge a crowd on Thank* giyiug night an seemed to imply that “Tim Bloody Ghost” and “Ratnpigiiouh Robber” wore «still running'and an dear to ibe popular h**art uh ever. Bone* time ijfae* l , it s' ems, ‘ the pit” was marie into a parcuette, buti hear that its old kahiturs have tiow gone to the top gallery, and their* roar, and haw!, and throw about tjheir refuse a« nubly of yore. from the legitimate drama, let me mention a Negro Minstrel Troupe that has lately oouic to grief Recent ail rif'es from the Island of Jamaica h ay that the Negroes tliere have been deprived ot toe right of suffrage, aud, as a conse <ihence of tlieir elimination fr«»m i>olitica, ttn? prosperity of tor colony bas wonddfl t ifly revived. “Such a sugar crop,”sayn a “has not been known riave thc'abdfition of Slavery,” and then, _'oes on to give some statistics, shown g that inerea'-ed prorluctioii has not been <?onfin**d tn the .•ingle arti'clo ’of sugar alone. Last yoar, 4ff,l93>cf. of e**ffee were exported f this year, <-ut: have already been exported, and ah im mense additional quantity is holding back for n rise. Last year, 18,777 puncheons of the fain its old damaiVa rum were ex ported f this year, 20,040 puncheons, Lust year, logwood was :U shillings srer liug per tout tlfis year,- it brings 44 sbifting-A, and 40,000 tons have been ex ported. Last year, the revenue was* tTT»,BI ! ; this year, it is CB67,r>f»f>, an increase of £Bs,T4ft, or ten percent, in a Higgle year, something that is perfeeMy wonderful iu a governmental revenue. Mure Mian this X. 10*>,000 have been sent* from England for investment; plantations loug disused and bush-grown, uni rising in value, and, as a writer from there says, ‘‘there i.4, every reason for stating that Jamaica is beginning to flourish, and fa rapidly entering upon a bright and glorious chapter in her history which will l* mark oil by im increawd export trade aod tlv'ivme n auala^tuici.” \o», why is tofaf The answer is self-evident. It is because the British Goveniment has had sense enough, at last, to cease a vain» attempt to contravene the laws of Nature, aud baa declared that, while all men shall be protected, the white man alone shall! rule, * Some time nince, I sate in one of the magnificent libraries of this city, and ran over every work upon Jamaica I could tfad. it? f In them I discovered the negro there was at hirst a slave, as originally with us, and that, as Mich, his well directed labor made the island to bloom and blossom as the rose. Then the dark cloud of Aboli tionist#, arose m Parliament. I’umiti dsmi never stopped aor rested till it bad freed the Negro, and then takmg a fresh start, brought it to pass that the freodman was decreed the civil and ptditical coital of the white man. To the Jamaica negro, ip* from ala very, was given the bailor, and the abso lute madness of attempting to make two unequal races,jpolitically <?qual, culmi nated in the horrid massacres of 1805, by which so many Englishmen were skin. Then, and not till then, did Parfkn*en* get its eyes open, and sec that, if there ever was to bo either peace or in Jamaica, white men abac must tirft Negro suffrage was abolished, and now we sec how quiet and thriving the island h today. And yet, despite this and all othij? ItS io'.bo SouU.'wbo advise acquiesence. Never, gentlemen. What the Hritish Parliament couldn’t do, this blackguard Yankee Congress can’t do. If you want to acquiesce, acquiesce and be hanged to you, hot as for vs “Wo that have free souls it touches us not.” JjWith the approach of the holidays the \ übli-diing houses arc putting forth a mamber of books. i Conattltrt&g the cmjuWite WW*pby ami sumptuous binding prowated, it makes one sigh to sec the contents no better than they wd.
