THE TOWN GAOL
Some documents relative to the situation of Matron in the Town Prison have
been left before by a Mrs. MULLIN, who was highly recommended to that place,
and discharged the duties of it with care and correctness. She has been,
however, put out, although no general or specific charge can be preferred
against her, and she wishes to make the matter as public as possible. She is
placed in that situation to which many with brighter prospects have been
reduced, but that does not weigh a great deal with us. The poorest person in
the community is entitled to equal and impartial treatment. This has been
always our humble opinion. We have acted, and shall continue to act upon it.
If possible, they shall appear on Thursday.

FREE SCHOOL- CHARITY SERMON
It will be perceived that a Charity Sermon will be delivered at the hour of
two o'clock on Sunday next, at the Parochial Chapel, by the Rev. Mr. KIRWAN,
for the benefit of the above institution. The principles upon which this
Seminary is established, ensure it permanency and success; and give an
anticipation of increasing liberality, by associating together in the same
list, Catholic and Protestant Subscribers. It was our fixed opinion from the
moment on which this Institution was first spoken of, that, instead of being
a source of advantage to the poor people, it would be the cause of alarm to
persons of another sect, and, perhaps, sow the seeds of discord in the
community, unless it was founded upon a broad and liberal principle. Our
wishes have been accomplished. It is founded upon a broad and liberal
principle. The Protestant poor man may send his child there for instruction
without any apprehension that his Religious tenents shall be interferred
with, at the same time, that he shall receive as good moral instruction as
his Roman Catholic fellow. If the system of education here was so confined
to Roman Catholics, for the propagation of their faith it would naturally
excite alarm in the minds of persons professing an opposite creed. We say
this from our experience of human nature.- We find that when a Protestant
Seminary is any where established, the other party immediately look upon it
with jealousy; and is it not, therefore, natural to suppose, that on this
occasion the members of the Established Church shall be actuated by a
similar feeling. But, it is extremely pleasant to find, that in this
instance, all objections are removed, and the liberal Catholics and the
liberal and confiding Protestants have come forward with their names in
support of this admirable Institution.
