Dr. O'Connell, hon. secretary of the society for the Propagation of the faith:-'On the 26th of May last, the Rev. Mr. Libois, procurator of the foreign missions at Macao, wrote to his lordship, the bishop of Drusiparis: I have received yesterday very sad intelligence, which I hasten to communicate to your lordship. Dr. Castro, the administrator apostolic of Pekin, announced to me that according to the information which reached him in January, 1843, his lordship, Dr. Imbert, Messrs. Chastan and Manban, were beheaded in the month of September, 1839, seventy christians were also beheaded, and a hundred and eighty were strangled. There are no other details. Poor mission of Coreal! It is a very terrible trial. May the holy will of God be done! In China, all is tranquil in regard to religion.'-Dublin Post.
