FERMANAGH CATHOLICS. The following correspondence has taken place be tween the Chairman of the Fermanagh Catholic Meet ing and the Irish Attorney-General : " Gortoral Lodge, Nov. it, 1825. " Sta—The pleasure which 1 experienced on a for- suer occasion of confiding to your care the Petition of the Catholics of Fermanagh to the House of Commons, is enhanced bybeing again chosen as the medium of con veying to you the expression of their gratitude for your services in their favour, as stated in the annexed Reso lution, passed at a Meeting on the 3d instant. How- 1 ever, disapproving as they do of the concomitant mea sures introduced with the late unsuccessful Bill in tended for the relief of their Roman Catholic count, y men, they are not the less grateful for your valuable exertions in their behalf; nor the less disposed to place in your hands their Petition to Parliament in the en suing Session, confident as they feel, that you are al way s actuated by the purest principles of patriotism, and that you will not deeline the favour they now seek, nor tail to support its prayer with your wonted abilities. I have again to express the pleasure it gives me to be selected as the organ of their sentiments on this occa sion, and the great respect and esteem with which I have the honour to be your very obedient servant, " ALEXANDER MAGUIRE. " Right lion. W. C. Plunkett." " Dublin, November Is. • U Silt—l have not any adequate excuse to offer for not giving an earlier answer to your letter of the 11th instant, conveying to me the Resolutions of the Roman Catholics of the County of Fermanagh, entered into at Enniskillen on the Sd instant, requesting that I would, in the next Seoion, present to the House of Commons their Pet'tion frr a repeal of the Penal Statutes which distinguish tl.ein from their P,otestant and Dissenting fellow-subjects; and returning their thanks to me, amongst other Alemberi of the House of Commons who supported the Bill ,For their relief during its late successful progress tbsough that House. I shall have great pleasure in presenting their Petition, and feel myself highly honoured by the confidence they repose in me, and by their expressions of the value which they attach to my services. "In returning my thanks to you, Sir, for your flat tering approbation of my conduct, I have peculiar satisfaction in adverting to your observation, that 14 al though the Roman Catholics, who propose to confide to me their petition, disapprove of the concomitant measures introduced into the late BM, they are not the less grateful for my exertions in their cause, or the less disposed to place in my hands their petition to Parlia mew." This sentiment, gratifying as it is to me, as a mark of personal confidence, is still more so as'afford ing a striking proof of the candour and moderation of the body from which it proceeds; and I anxiously avail myself. of this opportunity to acknowledge that, ia the entire of my intercourse with tt.e Roman Catho lies of Ireland, I have uniformly found that the prin ciple, which I have always acted on and avowed, of reserving the unrestricted exercise of my own judg iment on the course which my duty, as a Member of the Legidatme, m;ght require on the Roman Catholic subject, has, in every in,taAce, strengti.ened the cavil dense which the sound anl intelligent po r tion of th a t body have placed in Me. s hey hate done rue the jus tice to know tha t I prefer th - eir interests to their 'wishes, . and that ray otiject is,. in4 . to use, but to serve think. " I btigto ex press. My vvat iatis4oon, at the tone of moderation awl good sense whieh rnirks t!:e tesblo- Lions of the ,Catholics of the county of Ferthanagil, a nds which iy sp well , calculated to conciliate the good opinion of Oe edniated and respectable portion of their Protestant fellow-subjects, .without which no rational man can hope for their success, and without which every honest man must feel thavticeisi, if it could be called so, would lose its prinCipil value. With the assurance of my una:terable attachment to the cause of the Ro man Catholics, so deeply involving the peace and pros perity and character of the Empire, I have the honour to subscribe myself, Sir, your obedient and faithful servant, " W. C. PLUNKETT. " Ate:seder Masalre, Eve . DuNnEs, DEC.S.—Last night a melancholy and fatal accident happened at Cialerhouse bleach-field, near this town. Three of the workpeople had Erten sitting oft a deal, between two boilers; one of the men happening to rise suddenly, the board slipped ; when a young man, aged twenty-five, of the name of M'Kinnon, be longing to the Isle df Skye, fell into the boiler. To save himself, he grasped the other person, a youth, Alert ander Gray, aged 14, who was on the board, and pulled him into the fatal boiler. Both were immedi ately taken , ou t ; bolP the youth lived only three hours, and tomps four hours. . Friday morning, a ,hie broke out in a house of Mt. Iltedi, at Isliecolt, Kent, which was burnt •to the gresad t the want narrowly escaping suffocation. FALSE FRIENDSHIP. Whither, In the pale of night, Maiden of the pallid brow Whither, whither, is thy Diglit,— Whither art thou wanderhig now? Hark ! the wild wind knows thee not Prom a kaile.s wintry tree; )lark!—it pities not thy lot, It chills the streamlet, and will thee ! Hear it in the woods around you, Hear it on the rattling reed ; See it on the waves that bound you, See it on the whitening niud! Turn thee from its rugged blast, It has stay'd the novent's flow: And may the blue vein stay at last, — Whither, whither, would'st thou go? Whither—does a stranger ask? From a rugged winter's cold: Yet to tell thee were a task That would freeze thee, if 'twere told. Xnow'st thou where the torrent's flow Is arrested in its course? Know'st thou where tbe . tempests blow, Keenest in their wintry force? Thither would a maiden's feet, Wander from a colder clime— Where the flow'rets that we meet, Wither in the hand of Time ! Where the wild weed does not grow, But the green snake nestles there : Where the streamlet dors not flow. But beneath the ice of care ! Sharper than the keenest blast Is the zephyr of that spot ; There the Sun-smile does not last Longer than a day forgot ! Doer thou ask me of the place? Can't thou listen and not start? Not if thou art mortal face— 'Tis a false friend's naked heat! SPORTING INTELTIIGENCS. • ROYAL HUNT. • Monday morning, a dna deer was turned out ft sure hem, In Buckinghamshire. A large field of sportsmen attended, although the weather was wet. The deer at starting made several turns through the enclosures towards Maidenhead, taking to the lift near the Thames, which is very high at this time. The deer leaped into the river near Surby Hall, and came down the river till close by Wind sor•bridge, when he came out of the river to the right on the gasses. The sportsmen and hounds followed the deer down the river, on both sides the Thames The hounds, and most of the sportsmen, Went along Windsor-bridge and through Windsor. The deer made several attempts to take shelter In different premises at the back of Windsor; he got into Mr. Bannister's cowhouses l but being turned out from thence, he ran through the different gardens and inclosures by the Cavalry Barracks. The hounds, when set on bad lost scent, but found it in a short time. The deer was taken to the left of Clewer,after good sport for upwards of two hours. NEWS! ARKET COURSING MEETlNG—(Conctesen). SEVERE GALE. Extract - of a letter from a passenger from Cork - to Gibraltar, by his Majesty's ship Albion, dated Gibral t4r, 80th October : - ,4 1 embarked along with the first division of the 42J Regiment on Tuesday, the 18-Lh inst. about one - o'clock, but the wind being foul, we did not sail t 11 twelve next day; the wind was then fair as it could blow. We had scarcely, however, got out of the harbour, when it be gan to blow very hard, and in the course of the . alter noon it became quite a hurricane. About sun-s?t, it was found necessary to bring the ship's head to the wind under a treble reef storm trysail, and allow her to drift before the wind, which still continued perfectly fair. In this way we spent the night, the sea frequently breaking clear over us, and placing. the upper deck guns under water. Next motning, tke storm, if.possi ble, increased, and the sea got much higher—the oldest seamen on hoard declating they hed never before seen such a 4 war of elements."fhe water was raised like drifting str , w over the top of the waves, and carried rapidly along on g the wings of the wind.' The reeling and labouring of the v. ssel, lars;e as she is, was great, and no less so was the incessant r:ia: ing c=f the tempest among her cordage. Vtog . ether the scene at daybreak, on Wednesd ty, the 19th, was one of indescribable grandeur and sub:intity: About seven o'clock we were obliged to cut away her best bower anchor, and half an hour afterwards our wheel gave way, and nearly killed two men out of six who were steering. No sooner had this been repaired than the tiller, which was iron, broke right in two about five feet from the rudder; this ren dered the ship perfectly unmanageable, and placed her at the mercy of the waves during, four hours which it took to ship another. The gale then (about 12 o'clock) began to abate, when we again ventured our stern to it, and to stand on our course, making about 11 knots an hour, without one sail. The gale pursued us altoge ther three days and nights, after which we got into smooth water. We arrived h -re on Wedne,day, the 26th, at four o'clock, P.M. making the voyage in seven days and four hours, from the time we unmoored to the time we cast anchor." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. - -ow - MANSION-HOUSE. A girl, about 16, applied for advice. She stated that her father and mother died a few years since. and that she afterwards went to live with ber uncle, an innkeeper, in Northamptonshire, where she lately got acquainted with a young man, whom she had since as certained was a servant to T. Denman, Esq. the Common Serjeant, and whose family were then on a viiit in that part of the country— that under a promise of marriage, he succeeded in effecting her ruin, and she was ultimately induced, by his solicitations, to leave her uncle's roof, and come with him to Londo►►. On their arrival here, however, he deserted her, and left hrr to wander about the streets in a state of the most complete wretchedness. On Monday night she was accosted by an old woman, who appeared to pity her misfortunes, and invited her to her house, in Shire-lane, which she soon discovered to be o►►e of an improper description, and on her refusing to consent to a life of prostitution, she was turned out of doors, and her clothes detained until she paid the charge for her board. Under these circumatances,she requested his Lordship would use bis influence with her friends to induce them to receive her back again.—His Lordship promised to render her every.assistance is his power, and to write to Mr. Denman, i►►forming Lim of the rascally conduct of his servant.

Mary Ann Childs was again brought up, and re-examined upon suspicion of stealing a bag, containing sizty-one sovereigns, from the till, at the Crown public-house, Crown-court, Fleet.street, lettere she lived as servant; but the evidence amounted only to suspicion, and she was discharged. BOW-STREET. Tau mos Easy.—Mr. Adams, the proprietor of a respectable oyster warehouse, in Pickett -street, appeared before G. lt. MN :•11111Lfq Esq. the sitting Magistrate, to state his complaint against a lad, apparently about eighteen, whom be bad last night given into custody, fur imisting• upon sleeping in his shop, and on being dis turbed, breaking everything about him. He was about to be discharged on paying his expenses, when a new complexion was given to the cue by Barber, the constable, who had assisted in securing him, and who now stated, that his charge 'lead, while in custody, attempted to plunge a pen-knife into his neck, and to have half bit of a watchman's thumb, by way of a bonne bonds after his oysters. He was then reconducted to his old lodging, and ordered to mad bail. ATTO N. O A EDEN. Maratstomat Drrisramta !—" What ought an old man to ex pect when he marries a young wife ?" Certainly not much cent= fort, or else Anacreon has erred in his judgment, " that Winter snows and June roses pair not well together." But one example is worth a hundred opinions'--es. gr. An elderly Gentleman, whose countenance exhibited more of the " pale cast of thought," than the" Within& smile of contentment," came before the sitting Magistrate to request advice under cir rumstances extremely uncomfortable, though by no means un common.—The applic?nt advanced to the bar with that tremulous motion which the faculty would have designated as an attack of subsullus tendinum, and after a painful effort at self composure, he proceeded with the narrative of his sufferings. " I am a married man, your Worship, (said he) and front my soul I wish I were not." The speaker's feelings almost smothered the latter part of his exordium, but hastily brushing away the humid evidence of his regret at the remembrance of " single blessedness," with a mus lin weeper, he continued—" It may, perhaps, appear somewhat singular that a man of my years (not that lam old overmuch) should have selected so juvenile a partner as mine, but de guide's: won diputanduns, as the saying is—we were mucked, that's enough. For the first two or three weeks we agreed, at least, pretty well ; I suppose, because I indulged my wife in all her little whims and ea- 1 prices. Unfortunately, these things may be carried so far as to en- ' , danger a man's credit and character. I ventured to remonstrate with her on what I conceived was both improvident and imprudent in her expenditure ; but remonstrance was unavailing; the expen diture was all on her side, the disburseulent all on mine ; she was deaf to reason—insensible to persuasion—ind my only return was upbraiAnp and defiance. We parted, as I hoped, for ever; but in bidding adieu to my wife I only parted &Om half my misfortunes, for, notwithstanding that I had made ample provision for her real wants, she took every possible means to run me in debt in order to administer to her art ifi cial ones also. I have this day been called upon to pay a dress-maker's bill of iel7 odd, for lace shawls, silk gowns, artificial Rowers, and I know not what other gew-gaws. If this were all, a man might be satisfied ; but she levels her attacks not only at my purse, but at my house, for whenever I refuse to pay any of these demands, she comes with a posse of her acquaint ance, friends I can't call them, and threatens to pull the house about my ears, so that I ant literally the table-talk of the whole neigh bourhood ; some call me an " old dotard," others " a hen-pecked husband," which in good truth I am, and all point the finger of scorn at me, and say that I have had my deserts. The Magistrate, suppressing a smile at the poor Benedict's ex treme earnestness and simplicity told Mm, that the question was one which more properly came under the jurisdiction of the Con 'Modal Court than of any common law tribunal, except so far as regarded the creating a riot. If the peace had been recently bioken the complainant might have a warrant ; if not he must seek redress at Doctors' Commons. This information did not afford much apparent satisfaction to the unfortunate husband, who . , heaving a deep drawn sigh, muttered, " Rather bear the Ills we have, _ _ " Than Sr to others which we know not of." and slowly left the office. QUEEN-SQUARE. Mat, the owner of a show -Iran, appeared to a summons which bad been issued against him at the instance of Mr. Martin, who charged him with cruelty and wantonly ill-treating his horse, which. was attached to a van. PoHese, the defendant, said he was the owner of the van, but it was driven on the above occasion by his brother, who was but a boy. Here the brother came forward, and was identified by Mr. Martin as the person against whom be complained. The defendant said that be bad only hired the horse for that day, at the rate of film sisill 4 ngs ; the van only weighed 14 cwt. and there was no one in it but a woman and a boy. It Was strange that ti : ; complainant should say that the horse was unable to draw tiers.,. the fact was, it was able to run away with it, it it wished . 1 the animal was nothing better than a rank jib." Mr. Martin—l consider that the horse was utterly im a m, to draw such a load along the bridge. The defendant, (to the Magistrate)-4 can assure your Wor s w, that it is a most obstinate beast ; it won't draw a sprat off a gr it iron, unless it pleases. Mr. Mania-..0n Condition that the defendant will put two liv en to his van, wheneVer it has to pus any of the bridges, I consent to pay die costs myself. To eats the defendant agreed. J. *Schell, a porter at the Ring's Arms Inn, Holborn, coat charged with cheating Mr. Craycroft, North-street, Westminneri of lid. he having, with an illegal porterage ticket, charged tl 2.. the real charge being only LI Is. Id. for the carriage and porterage of two boxes from the country. Mr. Humphreys, for the accused, contended, that the enquiry must be under the Porters' Act, The Magistrates, however, considered it was obtaining money e n d t , false pretences and committed him for trial for th e f rau d . Two boys, .itsyd and Spears, with Mary Hopkins, were fully tom: witted, fastealing wearing-apparel from the shop o f M r. Savage. - --- WOKS II I P-STREET. J. Whaley, a dealer in earthenware,was charged by .---.. m ime Inspector of Hawkers Licensts, with offerin g hi s art i cles got szk ' at Islington not having a license. The Inspecto r urged his te , power of limiting it to one , and gate the p A r c iso t, n fo n u te n n a t h fo e r h t a n d ree the months ; but Mr. Bemir e , on i nspecting the defendant his option of imprisonment ror that term, of pay i ng a penalty of .£lO. UNION-11 AI. L. A man named Wilks was charged with burglary and with ,her. stealing. It appeared that on Friday morning, the house cf Abbinett, a linen-draper, of Kennington-cross, was braken opel, and a quantity of goods were stolen, part of which were found in the garden of an adjoining house, and a part on the prisoner, who was apprehended by a patrol in Stanford-street, on th e tame morn. ing that the robbery was committed. With reference to the charge of sheep-stealing, it appeared that a number of sheep having been stolen frets% Dulwich, an officer was employed to watch a certain flock, and he saw the prisoner skulking about the field, but as he appeared in the dress of a countryman, and very readily gave his address, he was allowed t go at large. However, it seems that he is the person suspected of stealing the sheep, and it is supposed that he strangled them with a bloody cord, which was found with some house-breaking instruments in his pocket.—He was committed fer trial. . . The ship Sabina has arrived at Cadiz from Manila ; in s;sr months and eleven days, having left that place on the 27th April, and St. Helena on the 4th Septeis. be` She brings on board, as passengers, the princi ? al part of the Officers formerly belonging to the ship kis, and brigs Constancia and Achilles, tht last men of var the Spaniards had in the Pacific, and now in the hands of the Independents. Monday evening a Meeting was held in the Latimer School-room, near Hammersmith Church, for the pgu• pose of forming an Institution tor the benefit and mutull instruction of the Mechanics. and Artiszni of t h e Hamlet of Hammersmith, ancithe Pitri-hespf Kensing- ton and Chiswick. The room was crowded to egress. Several resolutions declaratory of the advantages of Mechanics Instittttes, and the necessity of forming one fot this district, were moved and carried. Last week a fire broke out at H:11 Farm, near Laving ton, %Vats, which, besides consuming a cottage, with a considerable quantity of c .rn and husbandry imple. ments, destroyed upward of 100 head of poultry. During the late boisterous weather, a quantity of French silks of different kinds, together with crapes, velvets, shawls, gloves, and many other articles, have been picked up along . the Sussex coast. At the Surrey Sessions, on Tuesday, John Healy, a miserable-looking old man, stood indicted for stealing two sheets. The evidence against him was conclusive. The poor wretch urged in his defence, that having been wounded in the head in the service of his king and count: y more than one and thirty years ago, his intel lects were occasionally disordered, and that when he committed the crime of wf.i.7h he stood accused, he knew not what he did. When questioned respecting the date of the wound of which he spoke, the unh tppy old man said it was on the Ist of June, 1794; and the ' occasion was th.. memorable sea fi,..;ht and victory ri the late Earl Howe. Verdict—Guilty. The prison , / was seotencei to be confined ii the House of Concede° for one month, and be kept to hard labour. The two men and a boy taken at sea by the Lyme cruizer, with lines attached to a raft of kegs of spirits, have been sent to Dorchester jail, by the Mayor of Lyme. BARBAROUS ELOPVIRWT.—The individual who has committed this gross outrage, is a husband and the father of a numerous family, a man moving in a de cent and respectable sphere of life, a schoolmaster, en couraged for his learning and talents, and looked op to as a teacher of morality. The city of Durham is .the scene of his villainy. He came to that town, it seems, about seven years ago, in indifferent cirearn stances, and from his own ability and the suavity of his manners, his school soon became the principal academy in the neighbourhood. His • society was courted, and he gained the confidence of the principal citizens, with many crf whom he lived on terms of intimacy. The astonishment then which was felt in the city of Durham, on Friday morning last, when it was known that he had eloped the night before, with a genteel and accom plishei young Lady about 20 years of age, one of his own pupils, the daughter of a respectable tradesman, may be easily conceived. He has absconded. leaving a wife in distress and difficulties, with six small children, without the means of supporting them. He is deeply involved in debt, and by eleven o'clock on Siturday m3rning, there were not less than ten writs issued out of the Court of Pleas in Durham against his goods This unprincipled person appears to be about*3 yea" of age, and it is believed that he has gone, with the unfortunate victim of his seduction, to America, having with him, it is supposed, about 6001. • • MARRIED.
