IRELAND. - • DePLIN. Dec. 28. Mr. Johl O'Connal has published an address of thanks to tl t lector of Gamut I, in which he is careful to ❑.ark out the line which separates him iii principle from the 'leuant-Leagne deputation that bad come to oppose him. He says : Retired from public life in Mil, because I could not Co with a policy of what I feared were injudicious extremes, I am aptly recalled by you just at this moment, when the first natural heat of the popular mind at a wanton and dis ',stew iu,elt seems to have passed away, and the old policy of the country is once more recognised as the true means of obtaining reparation, and going on to new achievements. in retiring, 1 obtained for the country and fur our faith the advantage ot LUI.I . N:f1111.! among Irish re presentatives the good auit 1.11.1 Arisnsh.l, just at the time that his unuortl. y tact., r toned him from his English seat, as he could not him from hi. religion. By your favor I have been enabled. it this juncture, to be again of use. I have stepped into the vacancy that other wise might have Len attemptsd a creature, or a co- Consplfator of th e news!, .per-tritinivinve of Duhsin, w ho have taken upon themselves to rule the country, sad lecture prelates, piers, and people upon their duties. After some al!u..ons to Nle...rs. Levis, Duffy, and Gray, which he dues not intend as compliments, he thus refers to Mr. Moore, another of the party — A fourth was with tits sc men—one whom I am inclined to pass by ; although I deem his interference also, as well a. other an previous acts and counselling of his, to have been unwise sod unrsquircd. 1 acknowledge willingly the better and higher spirit that he has occasi molly displayed ; and I am hind to believe that whenever he shall hear given him self lair play, by dealing with men and things in a move generous spirit he and 1 will not be so widely separated r unhappily we miy be at present. in tbst con angency he will find me a hearty fellow labourer with him—my, a willing follower if shed he. And, of course, .iehenevi r at odd moments the counsels and acts of the men he has given himself up to, may have anything of reason and et right direction, no personal feeling shall deter me from supporting, and going with them to the very utmost of my power. Ot nurse I will join them when they will oppose bad lIMPUIrf•, from whatever party proceeding. I trust they will not refuse to join ms in supporting good measures, even though emanating from an anti-Tory government. The allow fell at intervals yesterday during the day, and there seems every prospect this morning of a continuance of the present weather. Some mei detit A, but none of a ve ry serious diaries r, were caused yesterday by the slippery state of the streets. A man named Michael ('arty was killed at Bailin asioe on Christmas-clay in a fray which arose out of a public•house dispute. The occurrence of such a fatal act of violence on that day filled the town with excitement. The Newry n'eyrapla mentions two or three cases of death from excessive drinking in the county of Down, and in almost every quarter there is evi dence of a revival of intemperate habits among the people. SUICIDE OF LIEUT,COLONEL LAYARD. A very distressing case of suicide took place in Dublin this mornimir, Lieut.-Colorel Layard, late 11.1'. for the borough of Carlow, having destroyed himself by cutting his throat in a very frightful manner with a razor. It appears that come a;arns was given before the unfortunate gentleman was able to complete the fatal act, and that his wife, wbo called two other gentlemen residing in the house to her aid, rushed into the room, and seized his arms ; but the efforts of all three to prevent the accomplish ment of his purpose were unavailing, and he in flicted some *ashes on himself even while his wife and the gentlemen in question were struggling to hold him. ►here were seven wounds in all inflicted on various parts of his throat, sad of these one was au deep that it reached nearly to the rout of his tongue. lh,atb ensued in about twenty minutes. It is mid that depression of mind, arising from matters of business, was the cause of the fatal deed. Mr. Hyadmaa held ao inquest on the remains, at the residence of the deceased, in South Frederick. street, when the following witnesses came forward : kin. Elisabeth Layard ',mined—The deteascd was my Insalmad. I think that during the last three or four meths he has hem strange in his manner, end subject to fits of depressive. I never eppreheaded that he would make any attempt cm his life la the latter part of yesterday be was mote eseited than sisal, and cont.aued so during the greater part of the night. I fell asleep about twelve et aim o'clock. I saw him welkii g vehemently up and dews, sad elesehiag his bends. It. apprehended that he would he taken toe luaatic asylum. There was nothintis the Mate isf his circling:ann. that ought to have &Maid him, though the diminution of our mesas did prey epos his wino. When 1 awoke this morning, about eight o'clock, he seemed very much excited. lie asked me to give barn some laudasum which I had is my deeming-box. I said I would net give him any then. as Dr. Carroll would soon come and set him all right. I west into an ante-room, sad fearing lest he might prsaa me to give him the lauda num, 1 poured it into a basin. After the lapse of about two minutes 1 returned to the bedroom and saw the bed full of blood, and then I saw him brandishing • razor and gashing at himself. I rushed upon him, but I was unable to pre vent him, and he kept doing so notwithstanding my exer tions. 1 shrieked tar help, sad the people of the house came and put me out of the room, and did all they could to get the razor from him. 1 relented to him won after, and clasping me by the hand, he said something like t. God bless you." lam confident be was out of his mind. He was s man of ardent temperament, and authoritative in his =MM. but very affectionate to us all. He bad beta in very low spirits for some time. Dr. J. W. Carroll examined—l have known the deceased for about eight year,. I was attending him for about three weeks at &vendee, near Palmentown, for nervousness and tit account of the state of his mind. I caused him to be brought into town last Wednesday, end I have men him twice a day since. On this day week I saw him, sad he was then complaining of various fanciful diseases. Since then he has hots very low in spirits and desponding about hie affairs. I don't thick there was suffitient cause for this depression. 11. said his circumstances were not so soodasthcy had been. During the last week or fortnight Ise frequently said his mind would give way, and that he would become lunatic. 1 saw him at • quarter before sin o'clock y sterday evening, "hen he chatted very pleasantly and wee more cheerful than uimal, but he said his affairs would be the destruction of him. He stated to me that Mr. Burke attempted to mesmerise Lim, but could not do rie. I saw Lim this morning after be had cut Isis throat. He was then alive, but died in about twenty minutes afterwards. Before be died I went for Surgeon Cusack and Surgeon Porter, leasing b e hi n d me Dr. Gordon and Surgeon Willett. He was a man of very temperate habits. He told me that when he was in the army he had 800!. a year, but that now he could not muster up more than 4001. a year. I thought he was one of the last men that would have committed self destruction. He was not threatened with any immediate Mr. Deniel E. Daly (a gentleman resident in the house) ezamined-1 did not know the deceased personally. He came to this house on Wednesday last. Shortly after eight o'clock this morning, while 1 was in bed, I heard screaming below stein. I dressed quickly and went down. I met a servant wom►n, and having asked her what was the inal ter, she told me the gentleman below was cut ting hie throat. I went into the back drawing zoom, hich the deceased used as a sleeping apartment, and I saw him sitting up in the bed with a ratir in his right hand drawing it across his throat. I trashed towards him (or the purpose of taking the razor from him, whereupon he held out his hand and desired me to be off; I ran towards the fire place to look for something to strike the razor from his hand, ►ut could not find anything. and as I turned round towards him 1 saw him draw the razor &oda across his throat I then seized the hand in which he held the razor and premed it down upon the bed, whereupon he began kicking with his feet ; a gentleman named Barn well, who had come into the room, took the as. from him, threw it on the floor, and twisted me to hold num down till further as.istante arrived ; while he was struggling with nee he said he had cut himself twenty times one of the doctors aired him what caused him to de so, and he replied " affairs," or something to that effect. The jury found the following verdict :—'s That Brownlow Villiers Layard died from having cut his throat this morning when in a state of temporary derangement of mind." MORE DEATHS IRON BeRNING.—Last nigh t Mr. Payee held three inquests at St. Bartholomew's espied, ea pavane who had hewn accidentally burnt, snaking Dearly twenty eases breuybt before the vane corona, in the last fortnight.

Of the tomer sort were, the overture and several vocal pieces from the Zauberfate, Mr. Steradale Bennett's pianoforte Concerto in F minor, played by Mr. \V. U. eosins; Mozart's air from Fiyuro, Voi the ra pete," sung by Miss Thirlwall ; the scena from Robert le Diable, Quando lascia la Normandia," sun; by Miss Louisa Pyne; and Beethoven's Sym phony in C, which closed the first part of the con cert. Among the above vocal pieces, the greatest impression was made by Miss Pyne's mar vellously brilliant execution of the famous air of the Queen of Night in Zuuberflofc, " Gli angui d'inferno," certainly the must arduous task ever given to the human voice—a task, how ever, which seemed to coat this most accomplished singer no efinrt whatever. The aria from the same opera, " 0 cars imma gine," was set down in the programme for Mr. Har rison, but that gentleman wisely did not attempt it. substituting a thing much more iu his way, an air from Luerezia Borgia. Bennett's Concerto, played by Mr. Cusins, was a treat of a high order. The con certo itself is one of the noblest works of its class, worthy of companionship with the compositions of Beethoven and Mendelsohn; and Mr. Cusins did ample justice to its beauties by a masterly perform ance, full of intelligence, energy, and expression. The second part of the concert, as usual, consisted of vocal pieces In a light and familiar style; the singers being Miss L Pyne, Mr. Harrison, Miss Wells, Miss Thirlwall, Mr. Pierre, and Mr. Lawler. REUNION DES ARTS.—This society had their last meeting of the season last evening at their elegant rooms in Marley-street, which were crowded by a fashionz.ble and brilliant assemblage. There was an excellent concert of chamber music, vocal and instru mental. The singers were Madame Amedei, Miss Terns°, Miss Messeut, and Signor Ciabatta, who performed several favourite opera airs and concerted pieces. Beethoven's Trio in 11 flat, for the pianoforte, violin, and violoncello, was played by Miss Arabella Goddard, M. Ries, and M. Paque. Miss Goddard's performance of this magnificent work was in every respect exquisite—not less remarkable for clear, firm, and brilliant execution, than for the thorough apprehension she showed of all the grand and beautiful conceptions of the composer. In the latter part of the concert there was a new trio by M. Praeger which it was not in our power to hear; but we barn no doubt we shall soon have an opportunity of forming an opinion of this production of a com poser who has already distinguished himself by , works of much merit. SOCIETY OF ARTS. The suirele of yesterday evening had more than ordinary attraction for all who take interest in the program of art and the means of diffusing • more ex tended teats for it among the people. The walls were deco rated with specimens of the process known in Germany as " nature printing," and also with beautiful examples of the perfection to which the beautiful art of chromolithography or colour printing is rapidly being brought in this country. It appears that the Viennese claim the Naturselbsteiruck" as their invention, although experiments in a similar direc tion were made by Dr. Ferguson Branson so far back as 1847. The then recent introduction of gutta percha sug gested to that gentleman the possibility of procuring by its plastic agency minutely accurate impressiora of botanical specimens to be afterwards printed from the mould,. Ano ther novelty bad, however, to be called into requisition to procure the clear outline rendered impossible by the soft ness of tke material. The wonderful electrotype solved the difficulty, and in 1830 Mr. Branson was enabled to present complete specimens to the British public. Very re cestly the subject has been taken up by Mr. Hertinger, of the imperial printing-office in Vienna, and it is but justice to that gentleman to say that if he has not the merit of an original inventor, be most at least be admitted to have materially advanced the progress and extended the application of the art. In the Viennese process, soft lead is substituted for gutta perch., and the leaf to be copied is spread upon it and subjected to smart pressure. By a delicate and ingenious process, this design of nature's own making is printed in colours, so as te be a perfect reproduction of the superfiiies of tne ob. PAL Among the prints eahibited last evening were twelve Sam subjects, which combine with the accuracy that Wow to this process alone, the most beautiful variety of that, and • general effect which might be equalled but cer tedaly could not be surpassed by the most accomplished artist working with the pencil. The English specimens won those of Dr. Branson before mentioned, and one or two sent in by Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, who have pa lmated the art in this country under the name of glagtoglyphy. Although these latter do not exhibit the advanced state of perfection to which the Viennese prints bate attained they are yet full of promise, and justify the mnifident hope that so useful an art may be successfully introduced here, and applied to the illustration of scientific subject,. Of its use in advancing scientific knowledge en adequate estimate may be formed when it is remembered brew difficult it is in many eases to procure botanical or ormlogical spicimens. With the aid of " Naturselbstd seek," the rarest leaf, or the most unique fossil may be multiplied ad irtfisitfunt, and made as accessible to the nehools of the crowded manufacturing towns as to royal mu seums, or the costly cabinets of the wealthy. In the depart ment of chromolithography it is satisfactory to know that the finest specimens are those of our own artists. The spe cimens shown by Vincent Brookes, Leighton Rowney, and Beater, have all the brilliancy and delicacy .f paintings, and bid fair to lead to the extensive use of pictures in the interior decoration of working men's houses. That the people always liked them is no new discovery, but the instinctive preference for colour, which is part of the nature of man, has only recently been recognised by those who seek to bring art down to the standard of popular Wtainment. That instinct is recognised and provided for in inventions like chromolithography, and it only remains for those who with laudable teal and much skill are labouring to bring the art to perfection, not to pitch their tariff of prices higher than the commercial principle requires, nor so as to limit the acquirement of their pictures to the wealthy few who are satiated with art already. The soiree of yesterday . _ evening was, notwithstanding the inclemency of the wea ther, fully and fashionably attended. PHOTOGRAPHIC INSTITUTION. The specimens prepared for the present session are numerous, and comprise the productions of some of the best continental artists, as well as pictures created at home. The Swiss scenes of Martens, the French landscapes of Baldus, and the interiors of Le Secq, are espe cially worthy of notice. Mr. Delamotte's views of and from the Crystal Palace, at Sydeobam, are interesting, but are deficient both in clearness end distinctness of outline. The distances are particularly faulty. Mr. Robertson's views of Constantinople, though good, are inferior to his French competitors, still they will repay a careful inspection. The " Gate of the Seraglio" is reality itself. There are the water-carriers lying about the steps, as if ready to rise at your bidding; there is the Oriental anstume, taken by an artist who makes no mistakes, and there are all the accessories round about, placing you at once in the Turkish street, without the trouble of going further than next door to the Clarendon Hotel. Several coloured specimens of miniature portrait painting will be found in this season's exhibition, which surpass in brilliancy the finest painting on ivory, while, of course, the likeness is such as would be unattainable by any other means. The faces also indicate an increased celerity in manipulation, as what may be called the toothache expression, so common in sun portraits, is entirely absent. The faces look natural and pleasant, and the brilliant colouring sets them off to the best adventure. We have here indicated only a few of the features of this attractive exhibition, to which amateurs .... NAVAL. ADMISSLTT,DEC. 28. APPOISTMENTB.—Captaitis 0. Ramsay (l 851), to the Euryalua ; S. F.

THE YARMOUTH HERRING FISHERY. The herring fishery which bas just concluded, say' the Bury Post, has proved the most successful ttl r return- bered on oar coast—the retch of fish has been enormous, quite unparalleled, and although prices have on the whole not ruled so high as in former years, we believe that the sates quantity of 6.h taken will far more than counter- Wane that difference. The most beneficial results are likely to accrue to our town from tbie successful termina tion of her staple support ; it is perhaps only a fair estimate of its importance when we state that nearly half our entire population, either directly or indirectly, obtain their Seth , heed from it. Front the return of the catch of the boats belonging to the principal owners, it appears that the quan tity of fish taken was 2,226 lasts. In addition to this must be added the catch of the single boats, owned by other mer chants, reaching 1,047 lasts ; making a total, merely among the 63 boats belonging to the members of the Fishing Club, of 3,272 lasts, or 43 190.400 fish, iliciwiog a mean of nearly 60 lasts to each boat, the but 30 lasts. 'There is also to be taken into account the catch of about 66 other fishing boats belonging to the little owners and merchants independent of the clue, and these having an average very little inferior to the former, bring ing the entire "take" of herrings in the home fishery alone to 7,000 furs, or the large number of 92,400,000. Even these gigantic figures fail to convey a complete view of the entire herring trade at Yarmouth, as there is a very extensive "North Sea Fishery" carried on previously to the com mencement of the home fishery on our own coast, sad which c moot be estimated at less than one-half the catch above mentioned, making • grand total of 10,000 lasts, or 135,600,000 fish brought into Yarmouth ! the immense pro. portion of the same being cured and imported to various places not only in our owe, but also foreign kingdoms. The foreign exports, as a necessary consequence upon so large a catch, has bees unusually great, so lets than 25,184 hernia having been shipped fram hence for various ports on the Mediter ranean ; each barrel containing 700 fish, thus equal to about 1,336 lasts of green fish, or one-eighth part of the whole catch. The rareness home consumption may be estimated in some degree from the railway returns, which show that during the season so lees than 20'2,644 packages of herrings, weighing upwards of 7,660 tons, have been despatched to London ; with 31,206 packages, weighing 4,630 tons, to Norwich and various other places in England. In the "Trawling" Fishery, the catch has been by no means so extraordinary, but it has born tolerably successful: the packages of sod, soles, turbot, &c., sent by rail to London, Norwich, Cambridge, and other planes in tee Eastern Counties, amounted to 14,677, and weighed about 630 tons. The largest number of fish caught by any single boat ever recorded in the hirring fishery, was 126 lasts ; the craft belonged to Mr. Thomas Lettis, fen.: one other boat, be longing to Mr. Shuckford, reached lit lasts, also an enor mous number compared with former pea. DIPLOMATIC COSTUME. -• • - The United States government has lately given instructions to its atahasisadors to observe • republican sim plicity in dress. The regulation has caused considerable difficulty to the repreeentatives of the great republic in Europe. The Nero rock Tribune remarks on this subject: It seems that Mr. Belmont found et the Hague the same difficulty in getting access to Court that Mr. Vroom experienced at Berlin, bat. unlike that geatlemen, he did not succumb to the requisitions of the royal toggery monger. When his Dutch Majesty obj-cted to receiving the American Charge d'Affaires in citizen's clothes, the Charlie replied that he must bees received or not at all, and received he was accordingly. We commend the spirit of Mr. Behnost all the more beeline thus far we have not found much else to commend about his officiel career. Ile did no more than bis duty in standing firm on the clothes quistion. The demand of the Dutch Court that he should put on • livery of some sort is order to be received, was in fact an insult to the American people. This is • point to which we invite the careful attention of the public and of Congress. It is • universal rule that a minis ter, or Charge d'Affaires, or a private subject, or citizen of any government, may appear at ley court in that costume in which he appears at the court of his own sovereign, or in the presence of the head of his own nation. Thus, a minis ter from Chins would be received in Chinese costume, and one from Turkey in the graceful dress of • Turk. This is the ease the world over, and at the most punctilious courts. When Jung Bahadur eame from Nepaul to visit Queen Vic toria, be was not required to put on • wig and small clothe., but paid his respects to her Majesty in the splendid attire be was wont to wear before his own monarch at home. Now we protest spinet allowing any violation of this principle in the ease of the representatives of this country. Self. respect should require us to insist on their reception by foreign potentates in the dress they wear when visiting the President. Should a military or naval officer be sent as an Envoy to Europe or elsewhere, it would be very proper for him to wear his uniform onofficial occasions just as he would de at home. Bat why should a civilian who has no uniform, sad would blush to be seen in one at the President's levee, rig himself out in gold-lace and embroidery at Berlin or St. Petersburg? Why should an American MOD to do what oven • barbarian is not required to do, change the officssl costume of his wuntry for • Chinese petticoat at Pekin. or a fussy embroidered swallow-tailed velvet, such as the Bless trious Soule now sports so fascinatingly at Madrid? It is ea absurdity and adegradation, and we trust Congress will take the matter in hand, and supply the place of Mr. Marty's half way aid •asatidsetory circular by a positive law a the subject."

AlmFit mon ' au anis', was cha r ge l with having as iautted two young ladies, usined Martha and Lavinia Bak, - r, residing with their parents in Pollard'.-row, Bethnal green. The first complainant stated, that while on their way home, after spending the previous evening at a relative's in Camden-town, thry were suddenly accosted by the prisoner, who thrust himself between them, and pertinaciously urged 1 them to accept his urm. They hurried on in order to avoid him, but u the defendant persisted in his impoituniti. 5, they threatened to give him in charge. They had only proceeded a short distance further, when they were :gain overtaken by the defendant, who strud: witnesssuch a violent blow on the back :hat she tell I,rweird on her face, and severeiy injured her forehead, which came iu contaci with the edge of a flagstone. The prisoner then started off, but lie wee closely pursued by her sister and a gentleman who fortunately came up at the moment, and who ulti mately gave him into custody. Miss Lavinia Baker added that the defendant turned fiercely round upon her before he commenced his flight, and also struck her a heavy blow in the side. In answer to the charge the defendant expressed his regret for having so greatly misconducted himself, and said that he had been drinking to such an extent that he had lost all control over his action.. Mr. D'Evneourt said that be had been guilty of a wanton and cowardly outrage, and he should order him to pay a penalty of 51., or to be committed in default fur two months to the Mouse of Correction. WESTMINSTER. William Mitchel, late a watchmaker in Elizabeth-street, liens-place, Sloane-square, was charged with unlawfully diet using of property he had had given him to repair. The prisoner, spins! whom daily complaints had been made for a length of time by persons who had left watches and clocks at bis shop and were unable to get them back, was spprehewled last Saturday night on a warrant, for un lawfully detaining a valuable clock, the property of Colonel Palmer; and upon searching him the officer found above twenty duplicates, rainy of which related to watches in pawn. In consequence of that circumstance, added to the prisoner's declaration that Colonel Palmer's cluck was in the possession of a Mrs. Holborn, the mother of his appren tice, who had rescued it (rem the clutches of a broker, who kid seized it f.r the rent of hie shop. He was remanded. Mrs. Holborn now stated that she had paid out the m ention fur 31. 14.1 , and had taken possession of Col. Palmer's dock and another. The prisoner stated that he informed the broker the clock was not his, but the man mid he did not care about that, and took it. Mr. Arnold said the we must be adjourned, and the broker summoned. Ile had no doubt Mrs. Holborn had acted from the beet of motive, in tukimr possession of the clock, and it might be hard to ask her to rector. it to its owns r, but if a summons were taken out against her fur its detension his decisi n must be that she had nu right to it. Her remedy would be against the prisoner or the broker. Four other cases having been proved, Holloway, the officer, intimated that there were several more yet to be in vestigated, the prisoner was then remanded. Ten pounds has been received from the Mercer's , Company for the poor box. LAMBETH. Tim Donohough, an Irishman, presented to Mr. Shields, the chief usher, oce of the printed forms given by pawn brokers for lost duplicates, and r. quested him to take his declaration as to the loss of the original. Mr. Shields observing that the articles pledged were de scribed to be four haltsovi.rehrns *cast a purse, remarked on the ringularity of pledging money, and asked the applicant how he came to dose, ? Be me soul, sir (said Tim), then I'll tell you. On Satur. day night, or, I should sty, on Christmas eve, I found merielf wid four hall-sovrins in me purse, and I sis to myself, Tim, me boy, if ye keep this money yell get drums on Christmas day, and spied all this mons y, and ye had better put it in the pawn shop and cave it. So fait, after • good struggle with me. self, I did go to the pawn shop and got 10 shillings on the four half storing and the purse. On Christmay day, sure enough, I got drunk and lust the ticket, but the runt thing on Monday mornin I wint to the pawn shop and stopped me money, and yesterday I got that paper and now want to take me money out. Mr. Shields—Well, I suppose you managed to get rid of the 10s. on Christmas day Tim—Be dad, I did. Id,. Shields—And would have managed to have got rid of a little more if you had kept your purse and the hall sovereigns ? Tim—lie gurrs, you arc right, sir, I should. Mr. Shields—Then, I think you have acted very pro perly, and I only wit.h that your countrymen generally acted with your prudence. The document was signed by Mr. Elliott, and Tim, who seemed much flattered at the compliment paid to him by the Chief Usher, left the court to possess himself of his treasure. _ _ _ _ The magistrate has remitted a cheque for 51. from E.L.C. THAMES. _ _ Mr. Warrington, on; of the relieving officers of the Poplar Union, came before Mr. Ingham for the purpose of obtaining orders to remove several Welt paupers to their own country, and to which, on being severally asked, they said they had no objection. The orders having been signed, the relieving officer cawed the magistrate's attention to a case of great hardship on the ratepayers, and which in volved a question of considerable importance to English parishes. On the 28th of last November a poor widow named Mary Barrett and her four children were passed under an order of removal to Cork. On their arrival at that place the family applied to the mayor for relief, and he raised a subscription for them and sent them back to England. The woman and her children arrived here in a most destitute condition, and again applied to the pariah of All Saints, Poplar ' for relief, and were admitted into the workhouse. The Board of Guardians had directed him to call his worship's attention to the case, which the board considered was one of great importance. This was not the only instance of the kind. The Mayor of Cork had sent back other Irish paupers who had been passed to that city by English parishes under orders of re moval. The expense of passing Irish paupers was a serious charge on the ratepayer of the Poplar Union, and the guardians thought it was a very bard cue to be again sad dled with the family alter expending about IW. in relieving them, and paying . for their passage to Ireland. Mr. War rington then put in the pus-book containing the order of removal of the 28th of November, to which the magistrate'sl signature was attached. Mr. Ingham eked under what circumstances the family became chargeable to Poplar. Mr. Warrington replied that the husband of the woman was a tailor, end lived in Shoreditch, and upon his death his widow applied for relief to the authorities of that parish. She was admitted int , Shoreditch workhouse with her children, and soon after...Ms obtained her discharge and came into Poplar, and tliv overseers had no alterna tive but to remove her and her children to Ireland, her late husband's legal settlement. Mr. Ingham—ls the family in a state of chargeability at the present time ? Mr. Warrington.—Yes, sir; we have maintained them in the workhouse several days. They were bundled away from Cork, and arrived here in the most destitute condition imaginable. Mr. Ingham said the woman could be punished under the Vagrant Act for returning to this country after being passed to Ireland. Mr. Warrington war aware of that ; but the Board of Guardians did not wish to have recourse to any harsh pro ceedings, because the woman was not so much in fault as the most Worshipful the Mayor of Cork, who had insti gated the family to return. He now begged to ask the ma• gistrate if he would sign another order fur the removal of the family to Cork. Mr. Ingham.-oh, yes, certainly. I hope the family will not be sent back again. It is a most extraordinary proceeding, and you ought to report the matter to the Poor Law Board. Mr. Warrington said that would be done, and that he would bring the woman and her children to Cot court on a future day to procure another order of removal. Mr. lugham said he bad been told that the Irish poor were brought to this country for nothing by captains of steamers to insure the passage money from English parishes to take them back. Mr. Warrington said that was done once. The Irish poor were brought over to this cauutry now for 2s. 6d. per head. He bad heard that some steamers brought them over as deck passengers, exposed to the inclemency of the weather, for Is. 61. per head. Mr. Ingham—What does it cost you for sending the poor people to Ireland? Mr. Warrington—The expense of sending each pauper is very nearly 21. The B family will cost us in all 201, and the board of guardians, who represent the ratepayers, do think it is a very hard case, and that some notice should be taken of the strange conduct of the Mayor of Cork. Mr. Ingham referred the relieving officer to several acts of parliament relating to the removal of Irish paupers, and he then withdrew. DECIMAL COINAGE.—MEETING IN LIVERPOOL. Yesterday at neon, a meeting convened and presided over by the Mayor, John B. Lloyd, Esq., for the purpose of afforoing the inhabitants an opportunity of eapreesing an opinion on the benefits of a decimal currency, was held in the Sissies's' House of Liverpool, and was attended by several of the leading merchants.

Cottrant), the Christmas show of the Highland and Agricultural Society, consisting of poultry, dairy produce, roots and seeds, was opened in the large ball of the Corn Exchange here. This being the first show of the kind couducted uu a similar scale of magnitude, much interest was enlisted iu its success, and competitors fur the numerous prizes ap peared from almost all parts of Scotland. Fur poultry. roots, and seeds, the show was patent to the whole United Kingdom, though it was only in the former class that exhi bitors entered from urea the border; while in dairy pro duce the competition was exclusively fur Scotland. The entries in the catalogue were 523 in number, of which 1;1 were for poultry, 33 were fur dairy produce, and the remainder fur roots and seeds. Of the latter, Messrs. Law son and Sun, seedsmen to the society, exhibited no less thin 103 specimens. The entire area of the hall was filled with the objects of exhibition, and the visitors circulated in the passages formed between nine parallel tables. The hell was elaborately fitted up with tasteful and ap propriate decoralons. The wall opposite the door displayed • profusion of evergreens, entwined with sheaves of grain, the whole surmounted with the scroll—Se/twee (mats war rf tratatria. Beneath, the model implements from the society's museum were exhibited. Above the central pillars near the entrance was a banner with the silver cross, sur rounded with flags and evergreens, with the stroll beneath —Gloria aoricolte. Oa the walls on either side were ranged shields bearing the names of Mechi, Liebig, Sinclair, Low, Caird, Johnston, Loudon, Pusey, and other writers on, and well-known prometers of, agriculture. From the pillars supporting the central arch of the glazed roof, were suspended massive sylvan garlmads, entwined with scrubs, inscribing the aphorisms of Tauter, characteristic of the months and seasons of the year. Pennons and banners of various colours and bearings were also suspended from the pillars and cross. beams of the roof, while the columas them selves were festooned with evergreens, and their capitals were wreathed with sheaves. Small shields were ranged above the pillars, on which were inscribed the names of Greek and Roman writers on agriculture, as also the chief pioneers of modern cultivation of the three past centuries. The exhibition opened at one o'clock, the Judges having previossly mace their awards. Among the visitors, we ob served the Marquis of Twt eddale, the Lord Justice -General, Lord Murray, Lord Curriehill, Sir liugh Hume Campbell, Sir Archibald Edmonstone, Sir James Ramsay Sir George Grant Softie, the Dean of Faculty, Mr. Sheriff Gordon, the Lord Provost, Mr. Murray of lienderlend, Mr. Horne of Longwell, Mr. Aitchison of Alderston, Mr. Walker of Bow land, Mr. Moe bray of Hartwood, Professors Christison, Swinton. Donaldson, and Anderson, numerous members of the Town Council and local boards, &c. The chief attention to the spectators generally was the fine display of poultry, there being above 600 fowls exhi bited, including specimens of almost every clue and breed, and showing almost every variety of plumage. Not only were all the wire coops fitted up for the occasion occupied, but numerous extra speci mens bad to be shown in wicker baskets. The whole ap pearance of the poultry stock, in point both of number and quality, was allowed by judges to have been the best ever exhibited in Scotland. The cross-breeds, in many instances, appeared to be superior, in point of size, to the pure, and were also considered to be more useful. The show of co loured dorkings, as entered, occupied 24 coops; but the white corkiagi, although fewer specimens were shown, were admitted to be by far the stronger and better birds. The show of Cochin-China fowls was very extensive, rang ing from coops 25 to 71 inclusive; and this interesting species, being exhibited here for the first time, naturally engaged a large share of the attention of the visitors. The turkeys were also an excellent show ; and the geese were superior in point of quality, and considerable in point of numbers. Oae of the greatest attractions amongst the fea thered tribe was slot of bantams—extra stock —exhibited by Mr. Alnico, the property of the Marquis of Breadalbane. The ducks also turned out well, and commanded a very consi derable degree of attention. Several gold and silver Hain burg fowls were greatly admired, and such was the atten tion attracted by the specimens shown that the passage at this point could scarcely be kept clear. The few capons exhibited were also much admired. The second premium birds, in many instances, and even those commended, were allowed to be among the best ever shown at any exhibition. Roots were exhibited in considerable variety. Perhaps the most extraordinary specimen entered was a chicory root, raised by Mr. James Fulton, Temple, Maryhill, Glas gow, the first known to have been reared in this country. There was • good show of turnips and cabbages, the heaviest of the former weighing about fourteen pounds, and the latter about sixteen pounds. Some of the potatoes shown by Mr. John Dale, Auldhame, were of a superior kind t other competitors from the same district also produced several geed lots. The oilcake ex hibited by Messrs. A. and J. Park, Cunoingbame, M'Lean, and Watt of Edinburgh, and Mr. Ovens, of Galashiles, surpassed anything that has been hitherto shown in this country. The display of wheat, oats, here, and barley was very extensive, and the quality was considered excellent. I The show of dairy produce, although less remarkable, was so less creditable. An extra object of exhibition was a fir tree, about ten feet high, transplanted in March last by Mr. M'Glashen's apparatus, and again uprooted for the purpose of showing the growth of the rootlets after removal. On the whole, the enterprise of the society has resulted most successfully in attracting meritorious competitors, in every department, to the exhibition. In point of popu larity, the exhibition, though labouring against counter attractions, has so far succeeded, though it is to-day at the reduced charge, that the largest attendance may be ex- SEABORNE MAILS.
