The Watford Independent thus announces a grateful re. cognition of heroism:—" 'Ye understand that the humble hero who here, and held in his death grasp the colours of Ragland and Alms, his predecessors having been shot down, was a brave son of our county—Philips—from near Bully chew. The fact is indubitable, for letters of inquiry are in town for a dater, as to the dispose' of 1,0001. among the immediate heirs of our gallant countryman. We shall he more explicit on • proper dey. The award is made by the order of our gracious soversigo, and thus enhances the prise." The ceremony of presenting colours to the Boy+) Galway Militia took place on the Square, in Galway, on Friday last. The regiment wee under the command of Lieut.. Colonel the Berl of Clamart', and the colours were presented by the Marchioness of Cianricarde, who, with a grace worthy of the daughter of George Canning, adaemed the officals and men in the following terms on the occasion : " Lord Clasearty, officers, noncommissioned officers, and soldi.n of the Galway Militia-1 rejoice that it should have been my nrivilege to have the honour of preventing you with these colours. I feel sure that I commit them into the heads of those who will disgrace them. In times of British wetter., the Irish have ever been foremost to render 1, braes and loyal service to their sovereign and their country, and I believe there is no instance of an Irish regiment having ever failed in valour on the Bald of battle; bat in this province especially, and in the *aunty still more espe cially, the Irish have good meson to feel proud of their military sonless; for in the history of British wars what regiment in neseejtmetly ealegieed—what name more honour ably modosoil—diaa the same of the C ht Ranges , !

Msy the blessing of God rest upon yea, sad may you thus go on sad prosper." After the presentation the Earl of Clasearty came for herd and delivered the following appropriate address: "Lady Clanriearde,—The duty having been delegated to by my superior officer of responding, en the part of the reglentent, to your ladyship's address, I am sure I speak the MN= sentiment of very officer, sous commissioned ▪ and private of the corps bore prone when I say that year 'pleb-stirring words have been listened to with the highest gratification by all ; and, should hereafter the occasion arise for the colours you have presented to us to be borne in the face of the enemy, your address, and the Impressive manner in which you have delivered it, will be recalled as an encouragement to the fulfilment of every duty appertainiog to the soldier, and especially to the paints. manse of that order and discipline which gives a regiment in a battle fired its chief strength and efficiency, and coot re even in time of peace honour upon the profession of arms. My lady, there is one circumstance to which I may briefly advert, that elves penalise interest to your pre sentation of the colours to the militia of your Gaiety. Constitated as we are as a kind of national guard foe the defence of oar shores against the invasion of an enemy, and called into existence only when a st.ta of war renders the precaution necessary, by none could our colours be more appropriately ommerated to the service of the %men, and to the macaw of her dousinione,than by the daughter of that great statesman whose mese adorns some of the brightest of our country's history, who assisted by his sotalleth I li :C aging the war of European independence to a seeeemfal lamination, and who to the end of his life devoted hie eel seat abilities in and out of path ..ment ; and Neely, ma heed of the governmest, to the preservation and improvement of those freeinstitutions orate free couatry which make it the admiration of the world, violets endear it to every British sub eat, and which servo the arm that is raised in its es The daughter of the late Mr. Canning bee kinerffinary, a pert from her personal claims to the homage with Mali we receive the regimeatal odours at her beads.

DRAMA. STRAND. A burlesque wit the play of Nitocria was produced at this theatre last night. It was as eneoseefial as the author Gould kayo wished. The andlesme. we. la the bin of all possible humour, and applauded the smallest approxima tion to wit with an sung, which showed that they were willing to be pleased. There was some " excellent fooling " by the gentleman who played the part of Nitocris. The action of the piece fellowed that of the play at Drury Use pretty closely, and the situations translated into burlesque ware slaver, and thoroughly appreciated by the audience. Aocustoon as the play-going public have been to the bur lenses by Planehi, the warailleation of the author fell rather wildly upon the mend ear. Neverthebms, the ad mirable acting of the wheaten carried the pine .hroogh triumphantly. The principal actors wen called for at the end of the parformaaos, and whoa they had withdrawn a similar call was made for the author, Mr. C. J. Collies. The I play is likely to hays a good run. THE ABOLITION OP CHURCHNATBS. The following address " to the opponents of church rates throughout the kingdom " has just been issued by the executive committee of the Society for the Liberation of Religion from State Patronage and Control : " The attempt to abolish church rates having been de feated by the obstructive tactics of opponents no longer able to maintain their ground by force of numbers, the bill tot that purpose will be again istrodated early neat session, and be pressed with increased energy and determination. " The &skive majorities by which the Rouse of Commons bss we absio =todly alarmed the ptlnciple of church-rata abaci* which has takes plies in the views of Waft pUtloiaas, both liberal and conservative—and the 111111~011 everywhere prevalent, that there must be an early settlersast of the question, justify the belief that the labour sad Saftifloell or many pest years are about to be rewarded with 'acme But it num* be concealed that, as the scedist approaches its tanniaation, Its sorority in mate' that without great public pressure, either the law remain uniatired (or some time longer, or an at tempt will be node to perpetuate church yetis in • new and sore tolerable form. Hesse, while it is on all heads allowed that the law ought not to remain fa its pretest state, Mr. Maddox@ would stop short at the abolition of the impost in the large towns,- Mr. Packs would relieve dls ieSton from a part, and Dr. Phillimore from the whole of the rate, and so impose an hummed burden oa the iodif forest or irreligious portion of the community; while the Archbishop of Canterbury would also tan churchmen ex elusively, but only when they constitute • minority, and after a renewal of parochial struggles, which will be helghteascl in Wendt, by the importance of the base to be dstaratsad. Minemeions, however unsatisfactory, unquestion ably tidiest. decisive progress. And to what are they attributable ? Daubtleta, to a very large *Meat, to a grow ing asses Mae injustice of lasing nes for the support of m ligieue institutions of which they disapprove, or from which they receive no benefit ; bat probably in a larger degree to the establishment of the prineiple, that the majority of a vestry may legally refuse to make a church rate—to the inmeasiag extent to which that right is befog exercised— sad to a rionsciousnein of the feet, that the prole:I/scion of the straggle is doing serious damage to the church establish ment " It follows, that if church.rate abolitionists would drive their now yielding opponeau to ax absolute surrender, they must yet more powerfully exert that kind of influence which has already wrought so important a change of sentiment and policy. The last plea urged in favour of retaining shush rates is, that they are objected to only is a comptratively small number of places. It is not denied that they are un just, bat it is contended that there is no need for extinguish. lag them where they are ',ideally sabmittei to. " There is bat one effective way of replying to reasoning so shortsighted and onstatestaanlike. There mast no longer exist a plauible ground for such essertions, or a pretext for each unsatisfactory remedial mesearee. As there are in almost all parishes men who conscientiously object to com pulsory payments for religious purposes, and who have long, however silently, felt them to be oppressive, so in all those parishes there mast now be an immediate and decided de monstration against their sontinuance. The time was when the inhabiteats of the small towns and the rural parishes might, without dereliction of duty, leave the agitation of the question in vestry to populous and inileential districts. These districts have done their duty, and with adequate re. salts, hat they are now met with the plea that church rates ought not to be abolished merely at the demand of the large towns; or that, at least, they may with propriety continue to exist in other localities, where they have been levied without any manifestation of hostility or impatience. II wb , therefore, there is a parish in which there is a body of dissenters or other opponents of church rates, however small, who have not yet agitated the question in be vestry or at the poll, an opportunity is presented for swelling the steam of opiates against the suction. When silence is regarded as consent, it is time to speak, and to speak in unmistakeable terms. " Minorities no longer have an exams for aequieecenee in the feet that they are such. Church rates must now be opposed even where there is but little hope of suctuefel opposition, that t►e voice of dleoontent may be heard iy parliament and the government. To defeat a church rate on a poll is, of course, the most valuable result of an agitation, bat the mere fact that rates are unceasingly con- tested, apart from the Mae, has a powerful influence. " Bat it is not always needful for the prevention of church-rata levies that they should be opposed by a sudority. Valid church rates can he made obly by a strict observance of the law ; and experience has shown that the blundering and ineompetesee of parochial officials frequently render it may for a few clear•headed and determined indi• viduala to thwart all efforts to make or collect a rate. Such a mune of action is neither illegal nor factions. ' After the decision of the Roused Lords (in the Braintree ease), the majority of soy vestry has a right not to agree to a abareb rat*, and so to prevent a church rate from being reeled at all in the parish. Even when the vestry is other wise unanimously for the rate, any one dissentient rate. payer eon now honestly, and without the imputation of agitating against a law, contra the rate at every stage, compel the exact forms of striking, amassing, and collecting, use all hie influence against the rate, and entertain the hope of one dayearrying a majority with him. Such is the existing right of the majority, and of the individual:* "It is felt that is mine place, It will not be possible to act ea them recommendations without a temporary disturb . . saes of good feeling, and loss and discomfort to ;seine indi viduals, to which, under other siircainstanoes, they need sot be exposed.

MARYLEBONR LITERARY Yesterday evening the commencement of the winter melon of the Marylithos. Literary Institution, Edwards street, Portman-►gaan, was unlimited by a cotivorsasions, to which the members and their friends were invited by the committee. The upper rooms were laid out with prints, photograph., and other works of art, of the highest class, and some few scientific instruments and specimens of natural productions. In the large lectors room a number of pictures were exhibited, lent for the occasion by friends of the institution. Among these were a reduced copy of Rcea Bon hear's celebrated " Horse Fair;" two of Edwin Lindner's well•known works, the " Diogenes" and the " Bloodhound," the property of Mr. Jacob Bell ; and there were also plc tures by Ward, 8.A.; Sydney Cooper, R.A. ; Lee; Hilton, &a. A. very numerous company was assembled, who dis played • due interest in the entertainment provided for them. Au address was delivered by Mr. Jscob Bell, who gave a short history of the society, and anted that it had now surmounted some pressing diffieulties which bad at one time threatened to cause its dissolution, and he held out great hopes of its eventually attaining the position which its supporters so much desired. He men tioned that the arrangements for that evening's conoersasions were not u complete as the committee would bare wished, but it bad been got up at a very short notice, and chiefly as an experiment, and in fact was in the nature of a rehearsal for future gatherings of the same kind. Some music and singing followed, executed by the musical clue of the institution, and notwithstanding the alleged imperfection of the arrangements, everything paired off to the satire satisfaction of the visitors. GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION. Every one who wishes to get a good collective idea of the Crimean campaign from its commencement to the capture of the Melekhoff, meet devote en evening to Mr. Stocqueler's illuminated lectors et the Gallery of Illust►s tion. The ;Writings of Constantinople, of St. Petersburg, and of the various military events, down to the battle of the Tchernaya, have already been noticed in terms of d ed commendation in the Dilly News, and now the so rin has been brought down almost to the present mo ment by a vivid rep/ciente:fon of the great catastrophe of the Bth September. The artist, taking his stand in one of the English mortar batteries, shows in vivid colours the magnificent iusault of the Chameurs on the Melskboff, choesing the moment when the foremost man is about to pleat the tricolor on the summit. In the distance is depicted the less aueceseful attack of the English on the Redan, which, however, the lecturer explains away very much to the satisfaction of his audience. The last tableau represents the retreat of the Russian army across the bridge of boats, and the confisgretion of the doomed city. The appearance of a large town, as seen under the light of its own burning buildings, is very successfully rendered, and the dark line of the retreating Russians over the bridge of boats contrasts with the rippling water beneath with all the vividness of reality. The audience were deeply int*. rested, and cheered repeatedly, charmed as mach by the lucid explanation. of the lecturer as by tke artistic colouriog and obvious fidelity of the picture. Ls a pictorial journal of the progress of the war, the succession of dioramto views at the Gallery of Illustration cannot be too highly re eonamended.

The following gleanings from our file of Australian journals ars supplementary to the intelligence given in the Daily New, on Friday last, when we were enabled to anti cipate the arrival of the Memo Polo and Mermaid: AN AUSTRALIAN CONTINGENT. A schuss has been suggested, and is by no means without supporters, for multi,' an Australian contingent to join the allied armies in the East. There is amongst us a large slues of adventurers and enterprising young men who can find lure no opining suitable to their tastes, or possibly to their indolence, to whom the ptospects of a Crimean campaig n l would have very considerable attractions. Others, a , who in the bush have been inured for years to a lie of haidslips, exposure, and tisk, would gladly change the sous of their adventures for a season, and would,we apnea hand, be readily converted into admirable soldiers. It hes been suggested, end the suggestion seams to u a good one, that those of the eontiogent who returned front the seat of war should receive grants of land. We should thus be neared spinet any considerable prow neat loss of population, and we should also have provided the eolosy with a set of men who would make a good nucleus for say militia, or citisea soldiery, that it may hereafter become necessary to organise for our protection. At present we should not be found very well prepared in case the Russians took it into their heads to pay us a visit— • sloop of war Gamed the Electra, ractuatiog 14 guns, and some companies of the 12th and 40th Regiments, with about a couple of hundred voluoteer riflemen, constituting all our regular defences. It is said, indeed, that the Cur has no ships that we need fur in these seas ; but an ingenious cor respondent has suggested that the Rural.= having obtained a foothold is Manchuria, are very likely at this moment building ships far inland on the banks of the Amoor, with which to pounce down upon us some day when we least im post it.—Mslbossnia Argus. THE DIGGINGS. (Prom tbe . BeedlgoAdvetlaer.") Bisistoo.—ihe late heavy rains having for a while passed away, and been succeeded by beautiful bracing wea ther, the miners in all directions are busily employed in their avocations. At the diggings above Kangaroo Flat, Wags look mach brisker than they did a week ago. Many persons have left them dissatisfied, but there is a strong impression among some of the old miners that the lead extends for some distance down Bendigo, and that the workings will ultimately connect with those at Kangaroo Flat. We have nothing new nor very favourable, we regret to say, at present to report with regard to the diggings at Epsom. Numbers of holes latterly have been deserted, bet a large number of people are still steadily engaged in working their claims. It seems that the lead was very narrow, and hu been entirely lost ; whether at will be again hit upon, or has altogether worn out, is a matter for time to determine. The accounts from the Whipstieks continue to be by no means of that cheer ing aster" which the success of the early prospector bad led us to expect. The rush at the foot of Ironhark still continues, bat nothing of any moment has been effected in that locality. In Spring Gully, as reported in our last, gold has been struck in remunerative quantities, but to no great extent, and only a few parties have become possessors of plying claims. Several new puddling machine' are being erected in various localities, and, as we have before stated, steam machinery is spoken of aa likely soon to be applied to this branch of mining. The whole of our quarts crushing machines are said to be progressing favourably, and we hear excellent reports of the yield g Ily obtained by them. The Berdan and the Benoigo quarts crashing machines have lately undergoes important alterations, and are again at work in an improved style. It would really require more space than we can possibly devote to give a detailed account of all the numerous machines at work at present in this district. In addition to those already here, we are informed that seve ral are of the road from Melhoume to this district. Of the reefs, we may briefly say that the reports generally are most satisfactory with regard to their yield. We may men tion that the New Chum Gully reef hap, after a great dial of labour and expense, been hit upon in the bed of the gully. The workless is much impeded by the groat influx of water, but by means of slabbiog and constant pumping it seems likely to be sufficiently kept tinder to allow the miners to proceed with their operations. Oust hopes are entertained that this portion of the reef will turn out exceedingly rich. The reef at the very head of Long Gully, on wbfch an immense amount of labour has for a long time been uselessly expended, has been at last struck, ands said to be highly auriferous. We have this week bad much pleasure in inspecting a quantity of beautiful gold, the produce of some quarts from toe well-known claim of M . Hessler, Lathers, and Co. This splendid claim seems to be yielding better than ever. Up to yesterday mornine we understand that about fourteen hundred persons had taken out the miner's right. The following is the latest intelligence from the other gold fields, gleaned from various sources: Mouxv Faurro.ur.—The population is about As same as last week, and the late heavy r,.ins have caused some ac tivity in the working of sluicing claims. The quarts vein ' lately opened on Spring Creel is turning out very well, and the gold obtained is remarkably heavy. FILYZIed CREIX.—Tbe rush on Kangaroo Hill, Loddon, is yielding satisfectorily. Several leases of quarts reefs have been taken out fa o , rinan Gully. Monter BLACCWOOD.—The population of this gold field may now be estimated at 10.000. Several parties have very recently left, but those who have resided here any length of rime look forward to a large increase in the population at I the approach of summer. Large races are being eat, to turn the bed of the creek, and this operation is expected to de 'slop a rich deposit. CASTLIMAINII,—A piece of very rich ground has been discovered amongst the old workings at Steel's Fiat, Forest i Creek, bat the spot is of very small extent. Some tolerably remunerative soil's being worked gs Montgomery's Hill, at a depth of about six feet, and puddling meshing are wash ing the surfer* soil from fife same briff to geratitclaantlige. Some deep sibling is going on at . Campbell's Creek. bet so new ground has been due .sered there. The road at Camp. bell's Creek is still in a very dangerous condition.

MARTIIOII.OOOII.—The quartz veins continue to yield very large returns. Number of miner's rights issued dur ing the week indium July 7, at Marlborough, was 86; ditto at Avon*, 27.

The ' Tips ' seem determined not to be behind the Allies in their pre parationi for any outbreak that may occur." MELBOURNE THEATRICALS. "In matters theatrical," says • local journal, " Mel bourne is little behind any second-rate town in the United Kingdom. We have Mr. G. V. Brooke, for whom Mr. Coppin has expressly erected a theatre in oar city, and whose performances on his first visit here—for he has only during the week returned from Sydney —were moet extensively patronised. The abilities of this fine actor are thoroughly recognised here, and Mr. Coppice ' s speculation, upon which our English friends hare been already enlightened in the columns of their own press, b ds fair to be an extremely pro fitable one to him, as well as to Mr. Brooke himself. Mr. Coppin'e theatre, a part of which was opened a month since let the performances of Mr. Jacobs--of whom more sam— bas bee, very elee.ntly fitted up under the superintendence of Mr. William Pitt, formerly attached to the Lyceum theatre. The whole of it is expected to be opened to the public for dramatic entertainments In • fortnight, and we may, we think, in respect to this building, fairly claim for the mechanics of our city a Ist& character as workmen, for It is scarcely three months since the theatre—a very small portion of which is composed of the iron materials imported by Mr. Coppin from England —was first commenced. The compo sition of Mr. Coppin'e 'company will be appreciated when we mention that, in addition to Mr. G.V. Brooke, it includes Miss F. Cathcart (tow, however, Mrs. Heir—her husband being also • member of the corps), Mrs. Brougham, Mr. R. Youngs, and Mr. Coppia himself. But decidedly the moot remarkable feature in respect to colonial theatricals is the opening of the new Theatre Royal. This munificent establishment is in respect of dimensions scarcely inferior to Drury-lane Theatre; and although it hu been finished in somewhat • hurry, the de corations and general appointments are upon • corresponding seals of splendour. The audience portion of the theatre has capacity for accommodating over three thousand per son ; and the stage, which has been laid &An with every intuition to recent improvements, is, for extedt and adapt ability for the purpose intended, equal to that of the great national establishment to which we have referred. Seats are provided for 3,000 persons, and doubtless on crowded nights, nearly 600 more than that number would find places upon the benches. The private bones (17 in number) accommodate nearly 100 persons; the dress circle about 400; the stalls about 120; the upper circle cf boxes, about 600; the slips, about 120; the pit over 1,000, and the gallery about 7uo. The audience, on the opening night, appeared to find abrndance of entusercent in observations on the extreme beauty aad unexpected grandeur of the new theatre, and although it was nearly eight o'clock before the curtain rose, very little impatience was manifested, end at any time only by en iefinitesimal minority. MIN Hayes-- who left for Sydney on July 21—war recognised in one of the proscenium boxes. Throe cheers were called for for Mile Hayes, and were enthusiastically given. At about five minutes to eight the acting manager's signal was heard, and the curtain rose upon the company, about forty in number, and the national anthem was sung, Mrs. Tester leading, end the audience in the boxes remaining needing during the same, as is customary amongst the assemblies of the loyal. NEWSPAPER LITERATURE. Melbourne is developing an increased taste hr journalism. Two weekly papers—the Telegraph" and the " Pictorial Times," have recently appeared. There are three monthlies —" The Monthly Migssinc," "The Rural Meerazine, ' and " The Gardeners' Chronicle." " Melbourne Punch, jun., Esq.," promises his weekly appearanze on end after the god of August ; and • " Medical Casette," and a " Builder," " conducted by the originator of the London publication of the same name," were promised. The Melbourne Age says of the forthcoming Punelt—" We do not anticipate that the editor or editors of the Australian Purvain will have to complain of • psucity of contributors to the literary department of their periodical. Our only misgivings are on the score of its artistic illustrations. There is, unfortunately, but one Leech, one Gsvarni, one " Chain," one Hablot Browne, one Richard Doyle, and one Tenniel in the world; nevertheless, we have seen amateur elute'ss and caricatures circulating in private circles in this city which indicated the existence of • con siderable amount of artistic talent, only requiring careful culture for its perfect development. We hope that in the infancy of the new periodical, those who are really com pennt to adorn its pages with their graceful or mirthful fancies will do so, as well for the sake of illustrative art, se of those higher objeete which art ought to subserve in the columns of the Melbourne Punch." A letter from Forest Creek diggings says The demand for weekly papers end English periodicals is very great; the rivalry in selling them is greater still—hope of all ppm, and men of all nations., are employed in their disposal, sod even from C etlemaine an agent started on horseback, with parcels of Punch, Lloyd's, Illustrated News, &c., armed with a brazen trumpet, through which he shrieked forth the titles of his journals in en improved penny whistle style." A MURDERER'S CONFESSION. The subloinedconfeTsiunOfa Wiernel,iiit:(3ezecnted in Tasmania, will show how desperate the villeins are, whom no legislation of ours has been sufficient to keep from the Australian shores, and may aceount for our crowded gaols and stockade'', our army of p.)lioe, and the atrocious nature of the crimes which appear en our calendars. " And we would remark," says a Melbourne contemporary, "that it little becomes England, which hes long forced such men upon us, with a cowardly cruelty almost unparalleled, to taunt us with the extravagance of an expenditure ' so large a proportion of which is paid in the control of her criminals."

The "Tippe rary Boys" are not all Insbmea, much lees all from Tip , the name being given to them merely on amount of pessary, pusession of those lawless and pugnacious qua lities supposed to be characteristic of the inhabitants of that county. The Tipperary Boys were, in feet (says the Argus) simply what is otherwise called the "rowdy mob," • set of fellows who belly weak diggers out of rich elaims, and prefer makieg their living by the use of Sets and sticks, to more basest employment with the pick end shovel.
