A CLanorman's TEarimota.—As a clergyman I have had to call thousands of times n?on utter strangers among the working people. I cannot remember any in stance in which I have been treated with rodent:es, except ; when I have been inconsiderate, or professionally intrusive, j myself. Of course I except boys ; for, however great ' friends you may be with young people generally, you can not emus some wanton impertinence from street imps, ; bursting with Irreverent wit. But they are rude to each other, everyone, and aIL Their ill-behaviour is chiefly the result of sheer animal spirits, and the fact that their play- ground is the street. Boys must be at high judo. some times ; and when they are let out of the workshop, or are ; enjoying any parenthesis of escape from supervision by • their immediate sod admitted superiors, they let off steam. A model boy, who never dirties his dogers or tumbles his hair, who always " rebukes" his fellows for departures fiom his code of morality, who appears in favourable aspect., under initials, in a tract, is often more radically and exquisitely offensive than one who thinks aloud, freely, about any person or occurrence, whether it be a tipsy old woman on a stretcher, who is being borne, as in • living police funeral, to her temporary home in the station, or a • duchess whew carriage is blocked on its way to a drawler I room, and " dominated" by some urchin on a lampost. I except street boy., who are unfeeling ; I except encounters in a mob ; and I repeat that I can read) no instances of noprovoked ill manners in any of the genuine working. classes, throughout numberless personal oommunicatioos with them. They are naturally courteous. No doubt, if you were to call just as the family were sitting down to dinner or tea, and still go in though you found them thus eugaged ; if you were to open the door without knocking, or ask im pertinent questions about the goodmao's or gooderife's esys and means, or begin to read a chapter from the Holy Bible apropos to nothing at all, simply because you assumed that • strange bootmakees family needed conversion, you might expiate yourself to a iough hint that your company was un desirable. But if the Archbishop of Canterbury were to pay you a visit, and remark that your doorstep was not so clean as it might be, or ask you what your income was, or how much you had paid for your child', funeral, and what eon had got for dinner, you would try to convey to his Grace your f the mistake he made is affecting an interest in your concerns. And when a clergyman or visitor bent on amateur proselytism and elevation of the muter, forgets his manners, as the Archbishop of Canterbury naves would his, what wonder if he Beta a rap on the keuekles from • carpenter who does sot know how to reply to an impertinence with indirect and polished coolness !—Thit Rev. Harry Jones, in Macmillan's Afar/wine for January. CHRISTMAS IN ROME.—Next morning I put on my dress clothes and white tie, and repaired with multitedes of Englishmen sim ilarly dressed, and of Englishwomen in black crape—the regulation eoe- Itume—to St. Peter's. It was • glorious and cloudless morning ; sunbeams streamed in columns from the southern windows, falling on the vast space full of soldiers and • mingled mass of every kind of people. Up the nave stood double files of the Pontifical guard. Monks and nuns mixed with the Swiss cuirassiers and halberd.. Contedini crowded round the sacred images, and especially round the toe of s'. Peter. I saw many mothers lift their swaddled babies op to kiss it. Valets of cardinals, with the invari able red umbrellas, hung about side-chapels and sacristies. Purple-mantled monsignori, like emperor butterflies, floated down the aisles from sunlight into shadow. Movement, colour, and the stir of expectation, made the church alive. We showed our raiment to the guard, were admitted within their ranks, and solemnly walked up toward the dome. I There, under its broad canopy, stood the alter glittering with gold and candles. The choir was carpeted and hung with scarlet. Two magnificent thrones rose ready for the Pope: guards of honour, soldiers, attachés, and the elite of the residents sod visitors in Rome were scattered in groups picturesquely varied by ecclesiastics of all orders sod degrees. At ten • stirring took place near the great west door. It opened, and we saw the processios of the Pope and his cardinals. Before him marched the singers and the blowers of the silver trumpets, making the moat liquid melody. Then came his cap of maintenance and three tiaras; then a company of mitred bishops; next the car dinals in scarlet ; and last, aloft beneath • canopy, upon the shoulders of men, and flanked by mystic fans, advanced the Pope himself, swaying to and fro like • Llama or an Aztec king. Still the trumpets blew most silverly, and still the people knelt ; and as he cams we knelt and had his blessing. Then he took his state and received homage. After this the choir began to sing a mass of Paleettine's, and the deacons robed the Pope. Marvellous putting on and taking off of robes end tiaras and mitres ensued, during which there was much bowing and preying sod burning of incense. At last when he had reached the highest stage of sacrificial sanctity, he proceeded to the altar, waited on by cardinals and bishops. Having ceased it carefully, he took a higher throne and divested himself of part of his robes. Then the ; mass went on in earnest, till the moment of censecration, when it paused, the Pope desceeded from his throne, pissed i down the choir and reached the altar. Every one knelt ; the shrill bell tinkled ; the silver trumpets blew ; the air became sick and heavy with incense, so that sun end , candlelight swooned in an atmosphere of odorous cloud : wreath.. The whole church trembfaid, bearing the strange subtle music vibrate in the dome, and seeing the Pops with his own hands lift Christ's body from the altar and present it to the people. An old parish priest, pilgrim from some valley of the Apennines, who knelt beside me. cried and quivered with excess of adoration. The great tombearmod, the sealptared saints and angels, the dome, the volumes of • light and incense and unfamiliar melody. the hierarchy tomistrent, the white and astral figure of the Pope, the multitude--made up an overpowering effect. What fol lowed was intensely dull. My mind again went back to Reiland, sod I thoegbt of Christmas services beginning in • all village churches mid all cathedrals throughout the lead their old familiar hymn, their sachem of Handel. their trite ' yet reversed minima How different the two some. are— I , Christens' is Rome, Christmas in England—ltaly and the North—the spirit of Latin and the spirit of Teutonic Chris• ifepanar for Jaasary. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (11Z1TITIO1 T!LIGILXS.) ALLEGED MILITARY REVOLT IN SPAIN. BAYONNE, JAI+. 4. Letters received here from Madrid to the 3rd inst. state that military risings (prontinciamentos) had taken place in several provincial towns, and that the troops were confined to their barracks in Madrid. MADRID, J.tN. 4, NOON. 1 Two incomplete regiments of cavalry stationed at Aranjuez and Ocana revolted this morning. Three of the superior and the majority of the other offioen took no part in the movement. Immediately upon receipt of intelligence of the movement in Madrid, General Zarala, Minister of Marine, set out with a strong column in pursuit of the insurgents, who are reported to be instigated by General Prim. They are retreating hastily, in order, it is supposed, to gain the mountains of Cuenca. It is semi-officially announced that the move ment has no importance, and ands no sympathy or support among the people. Madrid and the provinces are perfectly tranquil TURKEY. (Yid Triste.) OONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 30. The Anglo-Persiau Convention relative to the overland telegraph service to India has been signed, and goes to England by this day's mail for ratifi cation. The news of the failure of the Ottoman Bank Loan is stated to have greatly embarrassed the Porte. INDIA. (Vid Alexandria.) BOMBAY, DEC. 13. Many reports are current of commotions in the Afghan States and along the Puujaub frontier. No apprehension is, however, entertained of the British territory being disturbed. Some doubt is felt respecting the stability of the Bhootan treaty of peace. There is some fear of a famine in Bengal, as scarcity prevails in the Central Provinces. Sir Bartle Frere has held a durbar at Belganm, when he addressed the chiefs of the South Mabratta country in Mahratta. Mr. A J. Hunter, of the firm of Messrs. Graham and Co., has been appointed a member of the Bom bay Legislative Council. A bill applying the Limited Partnership Act to India is now before the Legislative Council. The public health is good. Money is in demand. The cotton and piece goods markets are steady. The ship Marona, for Aden, with coal, was burnt to the water's edge when nine days out. The crew were saved by the steamer Malta. The ship Polly, from Sunderland, laden with arrack, has been burnt at Madras. The ship Princess Royal has foundered off Ceylon. The crew were saved. JAPAN. (By Overland Telegraph from Calle.) SHANGHAI, DEC. 9. The Mikado has given his formal sanction to the ratification of the treaty, and the ports Ossaca and Hiogo are to be opened on the let January, upon the terms of the existing tariff with other open ports. THE NEW ITALIAN MINISTRY. A Florence letter of the 31st December in the Dehats has the following : The new ministry is decidedly and completely a La Mar- MOM cabinet. The person of the Presidest of the Council is absolutely predominant. In fact, 11. Chiaves, to whom she principal post has been entrusted, is a men still young —a minister for the first time, who has not been able to acquire that authority which results solely from the pro longed exercise of high functions. The same remark applies to M. Scialoja, though somewhat older. He was secretary general to M. Bastogi in ISGI, envoy to Paris for the treaty of commerce, and presideut of the Court of Accounts. He is, also, as you are aware, a member of the Senate. There dif ferent functions and his incontestable merit gave him a cer tain notoriety ; but be does not possess in the parliament, especially in the Chamber of Deputies, any great personal influence. As for the other ministers, they will be almost exclusively special men. It appears more and more evi dent that General La Slarrnora as initiated in some great poli tical project. The persistence he has shown in reconstruct ing his ministry, no..withstandiog ever-recurring obstacles, seems to me a proof of this. Indeed, the situ aoe of the cabinet, in a point of view purely political , wid be anything but pleasant. ft is unnece.s.ry t speak of the Left, whose opposition is certain, especially as the new ministers have no affinity with that side of th- chamber. They belong rather to the Right. As for the Left Centre, rumour says that it has decided to assume an attitude resolutely hostile. The presence of M. Loots, without securing its support, might have moderated its opposition ; but under existing circumstances it appears by no means favourably disposed. The ministry can only rely on the old majority, which does not now form more than two fifths of the chamber. To recruit the number wanting from among the flatterers or new deputies will be a laborious task, and its success doubt ful. Bat if G ILa Merniors should he able to esta blish the conviction that his presence at the bead of affairs is indispensable for the socoess of great negotiations, the physiognomy of the chamber may change. Thii country is sensible and patriotic. If the people be assured that the permanent interests of the kingd o m are at stake, passion and personal antipathies will be forgotten. Such at least is my firm belief. A Florence letter in the Sh'ele says : The new ministerial combination is received with much coolness by all political parties. General La Marmon de clares that he wished to form 20 administrative ministry not belonging to any one sectioo of the chamber in particu lar. Such a pretension, in • new perlienieot, is at least strange. There is consequently good reason to doubt whe ther the new cabinet will be well received by the chamber. The ministry fell on the question of the decree relative to the Treasury administration ; the older of the day of M. Broglio, favourable to the ministry, was rejected be 130 votes to 115. Is it not surprising that the new cabinet does not contain • single use of the 130 deputies which voted against that order of the day Lastly, every one must admit that M. Scialoja io the eyes of the chamber, without distinction of parties, will Dever have authority or the political position of IL Sella. The crisis in realit7 is only adjourned, and the ministry is menaced in Its eristeeoe even before being completely formed. Such • painful situation, be being prolonged, becomes daily more difficult. The retirement of M. Lanz► leaves the La Mar more cabinet without any serious support in the chamber ; the ministry may therefore be said to be now we.ker than it was a fortnight ago, before the withdrawal of M. Sella. The remark is already made that the Opinione and other journals favourable to the government are energetically blaming the new cabinet, and that is evidently • bad kite. The Unite Itationa, the 3lazzinian journal, armour-ors that it is about to resume its publication, which had been suspended for want of funds. NEW METROPOLITAN TRAMWAYS. —A renewed endeavour will be made in parliament to obtain powers to lay down improved tramways for omiibuses, alto of a much improved character. The top edge of the rail will be Bush with the pavement, very narrow, and will present no obetrac lion to wheels ; and those adapted to it can readily go off or on to it. The proisoted oompasy will be bound to maintain a strip of the mad 7 feet in brsadth for each lice of nib, although so exclusive right to travel on these will be reserved. The company will be competitive with the General Omnibus Company ; and no doubt this itself will constitute • strong recommendation to Londoners. who desire to supersede, by as English company, the French association which at preeest overrides the citizens wish their bad, draughty omnibuses and their broken promises. If othse unobjectionable, tramways would promote the regulation of traffic, and obviate the necessity for demolish ing some hundreds more booms by nosing railways through I various parts of the metropolis.—Buihkr. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nos ous oval PARIS, THUESDAT EVIIONG. The Moniteur confirms the date which I gave you • some days since of January 22 as the opening day of the legislative session. There are rumours of; ministerial changes within the next fortnight. It is stated conjecturally in print, the fear of punish ment fur false news notwithstanding, that-both M. Dronyn de Lhuys and M. Duruy are going out. Some say that as many as four nainiketi'will be changed. It is nearly time for the Euefor, who has been slumbering for an unusually Tong period, to do something " sensational." TheAatreme calm of New Year's-day can scarcely tsfir long, and I think novelty of some kind may be fairly looked for in the speech from the throne a fortnight hence. The Debate (whose impression, I must say, is very generally shared), says there was nothing im portant in the few words addressed by the Emperor to the Pope's nuncio and the Corps Dipibmatique on Monday, that they embodied only the usual new-year's compliments, and that it would require " great subtlety of mind to see in them anything else." This "subtlety," how ever, is displayed by several journals. First of all the Constitutionset, by the lyric pen of M. Paulin Limayrac, opines that the "Emperor's words have produced a profound impression in France and are destined to resound far and wide throughout the world." The democratic Siècle, in more sober language, goes so far as to see in the little speech, " a prospect of the cessation of distant wars and the confirmation of accomplished facts in Italy." The Duke and Duchess de Mouchy, accompanied by Princess Lucien Murat, were at the Italian Opera on Tuesday to see Pulinto. The bride, who had dined at the Tuileries on New Year's-day, was dressed in white mourning with black pearls. Her appearance made a "sensation" among the habituts of the theatre, who remembered that the appear ance in the same box of the Princess Anna Murat with the Duke de Mouchy in November last was an event which set at rest all doubts about the mar riage which shortly afterwards took place. M. Delaugle, the suxessor of M. Dupin as Pro cureur-General of the Court of Caseation, appeared for the first time in his new place to-day. He main tained successfully a cause which I cannot help thinking a very bad one. He obtained the confir mation of a judgment holding a railway station. master guilty of a fraud upon the Post-office by receiving a parcel containing letters. It is practi cally impossible for railway servants to know the contents of a parcel, and they cannot but continue to run the risk of breaking the law.

THY METROPOLITAN AND PORTLAND•ROAD RAIL WAT.— Yesterday at the Marylirbone ReoreaentativeVestry, a numerous deputatiou of tbu inhabitant* of Portland-road, Great Portland-street, and a portion of Oxford-street, atteodrd for the purpose of presenting a memorial praying the board to adopt the same course as they had done with regard to Baker-street in opposing the bill for making a railway from the Portland-road station of the Metropolitan Railway to the southern side of Oxford street. Mr. Wing field, Mr. Bills, and other members of the deputation, urged that if such a line were permitted to pass nearly 200 inhabitants would be next to reined, and tradeamee in Oxford-street be equally injured; that such a line was wholly untiecerarry ; and that the pneumatic principle upon which the railway was proposed to be worked having been proved to be a failure, parliament should not allow the in habitants to be sacrificed by such a scheme. Sir Joshua Rowe could not see that the memorialists showed • definite rearms for calling on that board to oppose this railway. homers to this it was stated that in the first place such a hoe was wholly unnecessary as omnibuses now did the journey from Port land-road station to Regent-circus in three minutes ; that the roadway was at parts so narrow that the oallarage of the houses would be destroyed ; that some private houses, s' which bulbs' altered into abope,mendy had their frontages resting on some iron brestaummer, and that the vibration of arailway,especisliy on the pneumatic principle, would bring the dwellings about the ears of their campiere. It was also urged that the main sewer would be destroyed, sad farther stated that proper notice. had not been given in acoordagres with the standing orders of parliament. After considerable further discussion it was resolved to take precisely similar steps with regard to the opposition to the Great Fortified street line as they had already dose with regard to Baker. skeet. MUSIC. WALLACE MEMORIAL FUND, Soon after the death of Mr. Vincent Wallace, a committee, consisting of individuals belonging to sad eon. nested with the musical profession—eminent composers, peTformers, publishes, and others—was formed for the pur pose of raising a " Memorial Fund," intended for the benefit of the widow and children of the lamented musician. This committee announced al," First Memorial Concert," in aid of the Fund, which accordingly took place last night at the Hanover-square Rooms ; but, to our regret and surprise, the room was almost empty, the handful of persons peasant being certainly iosufficieot even to defray the petty expenses of advertising, attendance, lighting, kc., the ass of the rooms and the services of the performers being (as is always the case on such occasions) given gra' tuitoualy. It is difficult to understand how a concert given for such a purpose, and under such influential ►uspices, should have failed so entirely. We shall sot attempt to mooonnt for the failure, and shall only say that if the idea of giving a plualitv of concerts is to be persisted in, we hope that more effectual means may be taken to ensure their emcees. The concert, nevertheless, though got up on a petty scale gaits unworthy of the occasion, waa, If considered merely as an ordinary benefit -concert, ea agreeable entertainment. The performers who generously contributed their services were MadameLemmess-Sherrington (who tams from Scot- land for the express ;sumo of being present), Miss Why tock, Mr. Cummings, Mr. Patsy, Mr. 11. Blagrove, and M. Lemmena. The first part consisted of airs and con. carted pieces from Mr. Wallace's works. The famous trio, "Turn on, old Time," from Martha/is, was admirably sung by Miss Whytock, Mr. Cummlap, and Mr. Patsy. Madame Sherrington mug the airs. "When the Elves." and "My long hair is braided," both from the Amber Witch. Mies Whytock sang, " Troubadour escheating," from Lurlirte ; the fine trio from the Amber Witch, " Bark, how the chimes," was sung by Madame Sherrington, Mr. Cum mins. and Mr. Paten "My heart's first home, from Lurline, was, sung by Mr. Cammings ; and the pretty belled, " Give me a loving heart," by Mr. Patsy. The singers exerted themselves to the utmost, and their voices were even more brilliant end effective than usual ; a fact which reminded us of Bauder' remark to somebody who condoled with him on the mis fortune of a thin room—" Never miod—de wooeic will sound all the better'" The second pat consisted of miscellaneous pieces, vocal and instrumental. Among them were the Andante in Beethoven's " Kreutser Sonata," beautifully played by N. Lemmens and Mr. H. Blagrove; and.. fantasia of Vieux tamps, played by the latter gentleman. THE DISPUTES 111 THE KIDDERMINSTER CARPET TRADE. The question at issue between the carpet menu. facturers and their weavers of course continues to engross considerable attention in the town, and if amicably and speedily settled no little sarisfeetion will be felt by the whole community. The mom are again temporarily at their looms, and it is to be hoped that the segotiatiohe which will be corned on during this resumption of work will ter minate in such • manner es to insure • permanent settling down to work. The weavers have placed themselves in • hostile position to their employers on the simple question of the right to introduce apprentices, or hands under twenty-sae, to the loom. The views of the employers OD this subject are these. For fifteen years the Brussels power-looms at the venous firms that have adopted steam power have been almost entirely supplied with the surplus labour that arose from the cessaticio of hand-loom weaving. Only one hand-loom firm now remains, and the woe kpeople there WO actively engaged ; and as they have recently had their wages raised, there is every inducement for them to continue in their hand-loom occupation. The power-loom manufacturers, on the other baud, have experienced some scarcity of labour from these causes :—lst, that there are no more eligible hand-loom men offering ; and secondly, that the creation of weavers by the teaching of youths has bees opposed by the weavers themselves, although this course La always been adopted previously in the heed loom trade. Thus with the two sources of labour supply dried up, and with the prospect of an increasing trade in Kidderminster sod elsewhere, the manufacturers felt they must soon be reduced to enter into severe competition with each other for such hands as they required, or else be dependent upon any that casually offered themselves, with the prospect of narrow numbers and still severer competi tion from the unavoidable decrease caused by sickness, old age, or removals in the ordinary course, among the men. Foe some time, also, strong complaints have been made to the employers about the want of occupation for youths, and it has been suggested that the same kind of encourage ment which under the band-loom system was given to weavers sons to learn the business should be continued under the new order of things. It is well known that fur want of some each system as this, members of Kidder. minster families have been compelled to walk about the streets idle, or else driven to seek employment in other trades and towns, where no such unfairness applies. It is stated that several weavers would gladly have placed their eons at the staple trade of the town could they have done so, and the manufacturers believe the moral well-being of the community would be highly advantaged by the encouragement afforded to some of the boys by the resumption of the old system, and their being taught to weave before they arrived at the age of man hood. The propriety of selecting a few of then young men from time to time, to train them to the loom, has been confirmed by the inquiries made by the Power-loom line eels Carpet Manufacturers Association as to other em ployers of power loom labour. At Halifax and Durham. in the Brussels trade, and at Heckmondwike in the Dutch trade, young men are invariably employed with adults on the different firms. The system has been found most valuable in keeping the labour of fondles together, and promoting the mutual interests of employers and employed. It Is, therefore, with great surprise that the manufacturers have found, in some of the firms, weaves in opposition to • principle which they consider so naturally fair, and of such long standing in the carpet trade. That the opposition to it proceeds from a misapprehension of the intention of the association is manifest, it is said, from the exagge rated and absurd rumours pot forth in the locality. It is not the intention of the associated firms to displace • single workman at the present time, or to decline auy eligible adult hand who offers himself, but to keep just such a mode rate supply of adult hands and apprentices as is necessary for the wants of the trade, giving the latter no preference over the ordinary weaver, but subjecting them to the game time and conditions as the rest, in regard to hours of em ployment, and putting them to the loom only when • legiti mate vacancy occurs. The association, on tbi. footing, ensure • young man, so selected, • more liberal scale of cloy-work payment than they could receive as " creel " boys, and not one would be introduced for whom prospect of work could not reasonably be found. Such are the views entertained by the molten, and it may he as well also to give the reso lution on which the proposed change is based. It is to the following effect :—" That on and after the let January text the following alterations be made in the primes paid for weaving various qualities and widths of jacquard carpeting, and for the reasonable charges connected therewith ; and that the isecismary supply of labour for the swoon of the trade be made both by the admission of a moderate number of apprentices, and also such adult hands as may be required in such numbers as the association may think fair and reo I sociable, and subject to the control of the association." (Then follows • list of the new prices to be paid.) The manufacturers and a deputation of the weavers were to meet yesterday to confer on the disputed question, and we hope to be able to state that something satisfactory was then arrived at.—Birmingham Daily Post. TRAFFICKING IN Liczsam.—At the eeasione for the transfer of licenses, held at Liverpool yesterday. Mr. Alderman Woodruff stated that a very eousidersble per. center of the licenses which the bench had been of late granting so liberally, bad been put into the market imme diately after they were received by the applicants, and soinetineeleven before, bargains being mad* (on the strength of their being obtained) of from 1001. to 2001. This statement was corroborated by the law de, k. Yester day the magistrates refused to grant transfers of licensee in three cases where the licenses bad been granted last mammies, and where the applicants had only remained in the houses • very short times lu one of these cases Mr. Worship (solicitor) gave notice of appeal. COMMON LAW Sri.vPs.—Yesterday the following new rule on the common law stamps was promulgated at the Judges' Chambers :—" Every affidavit intended to be filed, used, or referred to at the Judges' Chambers must have the necessary stamp affixed on the outside, and can celled before the same can be filed or in any lumber used before the judge." A scale of stamps to be used on the various documents has been issued, and new rules have been framed to carry out the act to abolish fees except by stamps is the common law offices.

The mournful intelligence has this week reached us of the death of Robert Crichton Wyllie, minister of foreign affairs, &a. to the King of Hawaii—a gentleman who raised himself by his indomitable perseverance and talent& to • high position of honour and fame. He wan born at Eszelbank, in the parish of Dunlop, on the 13th October, 1798. He was the second son of the lets Alex. Wyllie, Esq., of Hazelbank. and Janet Orichtoe, of Cutegraw, Stawartoo. Those who knew him in boyhood can well remember that from hie militia years he gave every iadi eatMn of being possessed of talents above mediocrity. Ho received the first elements of education under the late Kr. Bryce, parish teacher, Dunlop, sod afterwards for some time attended the late Dr. Barr, of Glasgow, whilst he taught • number of familiar in the district of Broadlie, in this parish. Thereafter Mr. Wyllie left for the college in Glasgow, and received his medical diploma before he was 20 years of age. He soon after left as surgeon in • vessel bound for the North Seas, and endured hardship. and braved dangers like a true Sootchtnao. He was thrice shipwrecked, and returned to Liverpool. but not to borm. having left with the firm resolution to do so only after be had earned a fame worthy of his name. Through the in strumentality of his late teacher, Dr. Barr, who w a s then in Liverpool, he reembarked in • vessel boned for South America, where he fur • shoot time practised as • engem, but soon turned his attention to mercantile &fain, for which, in tact and talent, be was in ovary respect adapted. After a sojourn o f 14 years than he revisited his native laud, sod es one of the first fruits of his success, built a manaion home for his weals on the lands of Haselbank. He proved truly a devoted son, sad those who were ecquainted with his aged parents can well remember the feelings of pride and gratitude they aver for him till their dying day. He thee, feeling time hanging heavily on his hand, left for London, and was soon again engaged in mercantile transactions. But, acting on an idea which seemed to have actuated him, he went to the Sandwich Wanda, whore for the last twenty years be occupied an important field of usefulness with great benefit to the natives there and much bosom to himself. it is gratifying to fled that from the highest to the lowest in that land of his adoption, all are at one in testifying to his many virtues, and recording his death se ' truly • national calamity. Whilst therefore mourning the 1 loss of one who has done so much to bosom this parish, we . at the same time, with feelings of pride, claim this as the birthplace of one who has enjoyed the confidence of kings, , and proved a benefactor to his countrymen at ham sod abroad. He is succeeded in his Hawaiian estates by his nephew, Robert Crichton, also a native of Dunlop, who I gave every evidence in his youth of being poisoned of talents and a disposition worthy of the name he is about to warns.—Ayr Advertiser. VIAIT OF THE JAPANESE COMMISSIONERS TO !Pewit:B.—On Moodily last, the extensive agricultural im plement works of Messrs. Ransomer' and Sims, at Iprwlrria, were visited by them distioguished Japanese gentlemen, who are oommissiosed by their government to import the principal industrial establishments of this country, and to report upon the various kinds of machinery most suitable for introduction into the dominions of the Tycoon. The party comprised Shibata Hiongano Kami, chief eons missioner, G. Foukonts, and suite, accompanied by Msjor Brine, R. E., and Captain Mason, R.N. and on their arrival at the manufectories the various airionitmal operations of thrashing, grinding, ploughing, and irri gating by steam-power were exhibited and explained to them; several small machines specially adapted to the produce of the East and Japan were also mhorm and elicited numerous comments, which displayed that keen and intelligent observation for which the Japanese are so well known. A new traction engine, muss bluing the most recent improvements for agricultural pur poses*, was the subject of marked attention. After taking lunch at the raideem of the senior partner, Mr. F. A. Ransoms, the party were conducted to the Patent Stone Works, where they were much astonished to see sand traw -1 formed into hard stone in a few minutes, by Mr. Frederick Ransome's ingenious process. They expressed themselves as highly Waked with all they saw in Ipswich. THE IRISH EDCCATION QUESTION.—The attempt to hand over the educational system of Ireland to the ab. solute control of the ultramoatene hierarchy, by the estab lishment of the so-called catholic university, has produced very strong dissatisfaction amongst all the friends of united reneation coaduoted upon tolerant and liberal principles. The feeling is largely shared in by even the moat attached friends of the government, on both sides of the Irish Channel. In Glasgow, as we reported, a meeting has been held toremovitrabeagaiest the proposed scheme, and °them we believe, are is contemplation. At the meeting of the Belfast Presbytery on Tuesday, a petition to parliament, in which the proposal is condemned in strong terms, was adopted, and a deputation appointed, with a view to press upon the government the highly objectionable character of the scheme.—Dublin Exprcas.. . .

Punctuality was not only the soul of business, but the soul of eating also in the States. (Laughter.) He hid seen waiters teld off to 're new d i shes; at the word "one" each dish-cover was firmly grasped with the thumb and forefinger, and at the word "two" every cover was removed with military pre cision—(laughter)—while such was the voracity and the velocity with which the good things on the table were desiiatched, that if you showed any shyness or reserve you stood no chance of getting anything at all. (Laughter.) Is the mammoth cave of Kentucky was a part known ea the chapel, where • couple had once been married—the tradition helo that the bride had wombed her mother not to marry her lover guy where on the face of the earth, and that she did not consider that the pledge which she bad given prevented her from marrying Lim under the earth. (Much laughter.) The debate, of some of the American assembles were frrqueutly very amusing. For instance, here was a report of • speech by an Illinois H.P. :—" Mr. Spe.ker, I Houk sheep is property, and our laws ought not to be so that dogs can commit ravages on sheep. Up where I live sheep is of more account than doge, cud, although d , g. are use ful, sheep are usefuller. Show me the man who says dogs are medalist . than sheep, and I'll , how you a know•nothing.

DIsASTROUS EFFecTs OF THE GALES.—LIVER root, THUM:lsl.—Details still continue to reach this port of the disastrous effects of the late storm. The American ship, Emerald, Capt.

Captain Mickel states that in the whole course of his seafaring life hr never eecountered such • storm as that which took place on the 24th aid 25th ult.. He loot all his sails, had the foretopmaat curiol away, and the rudder rendered useless. He endeavoured to bear up for Queenstown, but failed, in comequeoce of the ship steering so bad. The brig R.
