A bard, who contributed to a collection of political squibs, entitled, Both Sides of the Gutter, sang the going forth of the expedition : it is entitled, Whallefs Embarkation, to the tune of ' Rutland Gigg. " " Father Mathew and the Temperance Movement. No great cause was ever inaugurated with more eccen- tric or more genuine fervour than the advocacy of the Temperance principles by Father Mathew, the Capuchin Friar. " Here goes in the name of God ! " said the Father, on the loth of April, 1838..., when he pledged his name in the cause of Temperance, and, together with the Protestant priest, Charles Buncombe, the Unitarian philanthropist, Richard Dowden, and the stout Quaker, William Martin, publicly inaugurated a movement at Cork, destined in a few years to count its converts by millions, and to spread its influence as far as the English language was spoken. In this good work, the habitually impulsive temperament of the Irish was acted upon for the purest and most beneficial of purposes ; and one element of its success lay in the un- selfishness of the Father, who was himself a serious sufferer by the results of his philanthropic exertions.
