THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK. ROME. " AVo learn from Rome," says the Monde, " that Cardinal A i ptonelli, in the name of the Holy Father, has officially delivered to the Russian Em bassy at Rome, for transmission to Mgr. Felinski, Archbishop of Warsaw, and his suffragans in Poland, an invitation for them to repair to Rome in May next, when all the other bishops of the Catholic world are also invited. We can gua rantee this fact, and we do so c'nicfly with the view to make it known to the Polish bishops, in case the Russian Government, as is unfortunately but too probable, should think proper not to forward the official communication of the Holy See." MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A steady demand for accommodation is reported in the discount market to-day, and the quotations have not undergone the slightest variation. The amount of gold taken into the Bank of Eng land yesterday was £49,000. The continental exchanges yesterday afternoon exhibited a slight decline in the rates on Paris, Amsterdam, and Vienna. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £490,000, and the exports £466,000. The Alfred,from Australia, has brought £104,000 in gold. The guaranteed interest, at the rate of 6 per cent. on the shares and per cent. on the bonds of the Royal Danish Railway, will be paid on and after the 25th inst. In the Live.rpool cotton market yesterday the inquiry confirmed rather active, and prices were firm. The sales were 8.000 bales. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK.

POLICE-THIS DAY. BOW-STREET. TEE THEE GRACES.—ASSAULT.—Amelia Alder was placed at the bar, charged with assaulting her sister, Emma Wall. The complainant, a very lusty woman, whose face bore strong evidence of punishment, said—l live in Short's gardens. The prisoner is my sister. This morning we had a few words, when she took up a brick and bashed it at my head. Prisoner—Oh I what a falsehood. The gaoler—Be quiet. Hold your tongue. Prisoner—l shan't. 1 can't hold my tongue when she's telling such lies about me. (Laughter.) Mr. Corrie—But I say you must. Prisoner—Very well, sir, then I'll I try. Mr. Corrie—ls there any person who saw this sisterly quarrel ? Police-constable 116 F said—My attention was called this morning about nine , o'clock to a disturbance in Drury lane. I went up and saw the prosecutor strike another woman—not the prisoner. I parted them, and they went away. Prisoner—Of course she did. It was my other sister; she's in court ; she's my witness. The sister alluded to, who was in the body of the court, here exclaimed, " Yes, that's right; here I am." As she refused to remain quiet while the charge was being taken she was I emoved out of court. The Prisoner—Let her stop ; she's my witness. It's very hard my witness should be shoved out—(laughter)—whit• hers (pointing to the complainant) is allowed to remain. (La7ughter.) We're all three sisters. (Laughter.) Mr. Corrie (to complainant) —Have you any witnesses ? Complainant—Yes, sir ; here she is. Mary Powey—Wail is my mother-in-law. (Laughter.) This morning she and the prisoner had a fight. Mr. Corrie—But who began it ? Witness—Well, Alder threw the brick first; but after. wards they both went down on the ground. Complainant—Look here, sir, where the brick hit me on the forehead. Mr. Corrie (to the prisoner) —Now let me hear your wit ness. Prisoner—Look at the lump of hair, sir, she (corn plainant) lugged out of my head. (Laughter.) The pri soner here held up about a handful of hair. Here, Sarah, come up. Sarah Bowles—The prisoner and complainant are my sisters. I have for some time been living in the house of the stout 'un (complainant), but she gave me warning a short time ago to quit, and I went. A week or two ago Wall lent me a pair of trousers, which I pawned, and spent the money with her in gin. This morning I went to com plainant's house to give her the trousers, when she threat ened to give me in charge for stealing them. I told her it was a lie, when she catches up a brown baking dish, which she broke over my head—(laughter) — s h e also threw three tea-cups at me. I bolted out, when she foliowel me, and then we had another fight, when she struck me in the face. Mr. Corrie—Then that was before the battle with the prisoner. Witness—Yes, sir, the policeman came up and separated us. She said me and my husband were pot stealers and pot melters. Prisoner—Yes, sir, and then I went up to Wall some time after to ask her why sho called Sarah a thief, s he made no more to do but pitched into me—(laughter)—and we both had a fight, and went down together. Complainant—Look, sir, where she's bit me, pointing to a severe wound in her arm. Prisoner—She's made it worse by putting salt upon it. Mr. Corrie—l cannot pass over such a circumstance as that. 1021 not done so. Prisoner—Lo o k at the size of her—(laughter) —and look at me. Why, she got me down, and w as k nee li ng on me, what chance had I. She weighs about 20 st one . (Laughter.) w 1 e b u i t id he h r av to e m p u re r v de e r n e t d h m e e r if s t l ra h n a g d l in g me. lam sure she Mr. Corrie—l shall fine you 10s., or seven days. Prisoner—Thank you, sir. She then left the dock laughing and dancing, and turning round to the com plainant, who was following her, said, " You've got a jolly lot of satisfaction now, havn't you ? " (Laughter.) •year not to be t half year.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET THIS DAY. ROBBERY Or DIAMOND RINGS AT A. PAWNBROKER'S.— A man, who refused his name and address, was charged with smashing a large plate of glass at the shop of Mr. Fleming, pawnbroker, 1, Lower John-street, Golden-square, and stealing two diamond rings of the value of £l7. Mr. Doughty, manager of the business, said that at seven o'clock yesterday evening he saw the prisoner smash one of the panes of glass in the window, and put his hand in and run away. He immediately jumped over the counter and pursued the prisoner, who was stopped by a gentleman in Marshall -street. On being brought back to the shop he at first wanted to make him (Mr. Doughty) believe that he had not taken anything, notwithstanding two rings of the value of £l7 were missing, and which were in the window safe a few minutes before, but afterwards said he had taken them and thrown them away. _ _ _ John Brown, 128 C, said the prisoner was given into his custody, and on taking him back to the shop he at first de nied taking the rings, but afterwards said he had, and that he had thrown them away. On searching the prisoner he found one of the tickets relating to one ring. The prisoner refused his name and address. Inspector Silverton asked for a remand, which Mr. Knox granted, till Saturday next. THAMES THIS DAY. THE MAN IN THE MOON.—Mr. Phillip Wood, the land lord of a large coffee-house called the Moon, 232, White chapel-road, appeared before Mr. Selfe to answer a summons taken out by Mr. Price, inspeetor of common lodging-houses, which charged him with unlawfully receiving lodgers, he not being licensed and registered by the Commissioners of Police. The inspector and Mr. John Manning, a sergeant of metropolitan police, gave evidence, stating that behind the Moon coffee-house there was a large building, dirty and badly ventilated, which contained four rooms, containing 47 bedsteads. Some of the beds contained prostitutes and their paramours, and others working men. The re quirements of the Act of Parliament relating to lodging houses, the separation of the sexes, partitions between each bed, and other matters, were not complied with. The ceffee-house itself was well fitted up. The defendant said he knew nothing at all about the matter. He left the management of his business to his servants. He called a man named Eiwin Durrant, who said be was very particular to whom he let the beds. Mr. Selfe said he had fined the defendant for selling beer and wine in his coffee-house after 12 o'clock on Satur day night, and the place was then describei by the police as " one huge brothel." A second time there was a similar information, and on Mr. Charles Young, the solicitor, stating that the defendant had given up his wine and beer license, he inflicted a fine of 20s only. Here was the defendant again before him, and it appeared he allowed any one to sleep in his house, and he ought to be indicted for keeping a common brothel. The " Moon" as it had hitherto been conducted was a disgrace to the dis trict, and ho gave fair warning to the defendant that if he did not comply with the Common Lodging-hJuses Act he would commit him to prison. He would not allow the law to be set at defiance with impunity. He fined the defen dant £5. The money was paid. Mr. Selfe-- The profits of the Man in the Moon are so large that he may pay any amount of penalties. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE. I The interest invariably excited by the annual contest between the Cantabs and the Oxonians has never been greater than on the present occasion. For the last week, notwithstanding the unfavour able state of the weather, whenever either crew took a " spell" over the course, at every point where a sight of the contending parties could be had there the " knowing ones" congregated, in order to satisfy themselves as to which side they should put their hopes and money on. In the beginning of the week the Cantabs had " the call" in the market, but the defeat of the eight picked water men by the Oxonians several lengths, time being only 21 minutes 5 seconds, changed the aspect of affairs. Not satisfied with the trial, the victors determined to have a quiet pull from Barker's rails down to the aqueduct, and the result was looked upon with much more satisfaction than the defeat of the eight professed oarsmen, especially as the distance was done in 23 min. 30 sec., which is about the shortest time ever consumed in rowing the distance. Whilst the Oxford crew were thus actively engaged the Cantabs were not idle, for they continued their practice most actively, the renowned crew of the London Rowing Club being their adversaries, Determined not to be behind the Oxonians in point of preparation, the Cantabs also took an earnest pull over the course, and the time occupied in the performance was 21 minutes 24 seconds. As the performance of both crews appeared so satisfactory, it is not to be wondered that betting was at evens, and all that was wanted to bring the grand honorary contest to a successful conclusion was fine weather. This, most fortunately, the competitors had, for certainly this morning was one of the most bright and cheering that we have had for the last six weeks. About half-past 10 or 11 o'clock the dif ferent steamers that had been engaged to accom pany the race began to get under weigh from the different piers from which they had been advertised to start, and judging from the number aboard we should imagine that a more numerous attendance had never on any former occasion taken place. Subjoined are the weights of the crews : OXFORD CREW, at. lb. 1. Mr. W. B. Woodgate, Brasenos. 2. Mr. C. S. Wynne, Christ Church 3, Mr. W. B. R. Jacobson, Christ Church 4. Mr. R. E. L.

At eight minutes past twelve the signal was given, and both crews dashed off in gallant style. The Oxford crew, it soon became evident, was more than a match for the Cambridge, and, not withstanding the most desperate efforts on the part of the Cantabs, the Oxonians were two lengths in advance off Craven Cottage. The advantage once secured was never for a moment in jeopardy. Every stroke told most fatally against the Cantabs, and at Hammersmith Bridge the race was virtually over, for the Oxford boat went through four or five lengths in advance. From hence to the winning point the Oxonians had it all their own way, as they rowed in easy winners by upwards of 200 yards. Betting at starting-6 to 4on Oxford. The excitement on the river was immense, as nearly twenty steamers accompanied the race. FRANCE AND SPAIN. The French Government will naturally be much perplexed by O'Donnell's declaration of his inten tion to support Prim in the convention, which the Emperor has disapproved. France will now have only the alternative of setting forth on her own hook in Mexico, which is perhaps what she from the first desired. The Debats of this day publishes an excellent letter from its correspondent at Vera Cruz. It says : "It is only now that the situation is beginning to assume a definite form, and that it can be un derstood. But, to understand clearly that which is going on, it is necessary to be acquainted with the ground on which the operations are taking place. To say the truth, there is no Liberal party in the country, ony more than there is a clerical and reactionary one. There are audacious thieves without scruple of any kind, and victims accustomed to the yoke, and almost resigned to their sad lot. Nothing is less understood in France than the real situation of Mexico ; even the amount is not known of its population, which is six millions, and not eight, as is generally believed. It is com• posed of 5,400,000 Indians, either pure, or very slightly mixed with white blood, and 600,000 whites, more or less pure. The Indians—that is to say, the greater mass of the population—are in complete ignorance and indifference in political matters, to such a point that it is not rare to meet with some in certain regions who still believe themselves to be subjects of Spain. The true people only aspire to one thing, to labour and live in peace in the coun try,which would become great in a few years under a real Government, and iu which misery is rare, and would be even unknown if there were a little security for person and property. Even among the white portion of the Mexican population, it may be said that the smallest number alone take any volun tary share in the struggles which have dishonoured too long the country. I repeat, that although the two parties are divided pretty equally, of the 600,000 Mexicans, properly so called, the greater part make a show of political passions very differ ent from their real and secret instincts. Tbat may be understood; as, besides the fact that to belong to the vanquished party is a decree of spoliation from which escape is rare, or even of death, one runs the same risk in one's own party if suspected of mo deratism. Observe, that the Government of Juarez does not seek to deceive any one. The choice of his functionaries does not allow of any illusion. Thus, among others, the Prefect of Police of Mexico Porfirio Leon, a notorious assassin by pro fession. who has passed seven years at the hulks, and three years in prison at Mexico itself. Finally, the only thing organised here, which works with any order and regularity, is highway robbery. From Vera Cruz to Mexico a sum is levied from station to station, destined for the brigands. It is a sort of regular tax—a supplement to the price of the journey. With a well-disposed Government that would be the first thing hmended." UNIVERSITY RACQUET MATCHES.—Yesterday, at the Prince's Club, was played the annual double match be tween Oxford and Cambridge, the players being the same as last year, Mr. R. D. Walker, of Brasenose, and Mr. C. Kennard, of University, representing Oxford, and Mr. A. Ainslie, of Pembroke, and Mr. R. Sainsbury, of Trinity, representing Cambridge. The first game was *on by Ox ford, the next four by Cambridge, and the latter having thus won four out of seven games were, as last year, victo rious. The single match will be played on Monday between Messrs. Walker and Ainslie. SUPPOSED Loss OF FIVE LIVES.—We regret to have to record the occurrence of a very melancholy and fatal accident at Loch Torridon, on Friday last. It ap pears that on the previous day four men and a boy left the north side of the loch in a boat, for the purpose of crossing to the village of Shieldaig, on the opposite shore. No fear for the safety of the unfortunate crew was felt for some time, but after four-and-twenty hours had elapsed, and no appearance of their return, the alarm was raised and a party was despatched to Shieldaig, to ascertain if the boat still remained there. On reaching this place, it was discovered that the boat had set out on its return to Torri don ; and on search being made, a cask of whisky, at hich was known to be on board, and which they were taking to the Tc , rridon Inn, was found drifted ashore ; and one or two caps, which were identified as belonging to some of the crew, were also fonnd. This was the state of matters when our informant left, and we fear there is too good grounds for dreading the worst. We have not as yet ascertained the names of the four men, but the boy was a son of Mrs. Stewart, of the Torridon lan , a fine youth of 14 years of age.—Boss-shire .Independent. S2ATE OF 7RADE. MANCHESTER, APRIL 11.—We have to report a stronger marker to-day both in cotton yarns and cloths. Ther has been a large business for all quarters, and especially for India, in yarns, and prices have advanced fully id. per lb. upon the rates of Tuesday. Many large speculative lots have been cleared out of the market, and spinners have been pretty free sellers at the advance. The home trade have been buying to a fair extent in yarns at an advance of id. per lb. upon Tuesday's rates. The activity in the yarn market is partly attribu table to telegraphic advices from India, prices having improved at Calcutta on the 26th of March, the date of the latest telegrams. In the Manchester eloth market we have had more inquiry to-day, and a considerable quantity of goods have b een move d off at a small advance upon Tuesday's prices. Sellers report, however, that this business has not arisen from any legitimate demand having sprun g up, but from a speculative feeling, arising almost entirely out of the excited state of the cotton mar ket at Liverpool, though to some extent possibly the feeling may have had strength given to it by the news from India. This news, which is by tele gram from Bombay to the 27th and from Calcutta to the 26th of March, states that at Bombay at that date the market was generally better, and that an advance of two annas per piece had taken place in the price of shirtings. The Cotton Supply Associa ciation are doing wonders in their attempts to show what can be done with Indian staples of cotton, as compared with American. They are now collecting samples of manufactures from this description of cotton, which are intended to be sent to the Inter national Exhibition in London, and which the trade are to have an opportunity of inspecting on Tues day and Wednesday next at the offices of the asso firm, in Newall's-buildings, Manchester. The yarns and cloths have been spun and manufactured at the mills of Mr. John Cheetham, President of the As sociation, and one of the late members for South Lancashire. These cloths are not made of the choicest samples of cotton 19dia produces, but simply from the staple called Broach, at about 92c1 per lb., and have been sent to be finished at the works of the most eminent bleachers, dyers, and printers in the country. There is no American mixed up with the yarns of which the goods are made at all. Among the samples are some 72 .reed, 22-pick printing cloth, in the gray state, as taken from the loom, and samples of the same cloth when bleached and finished as shirtings and for other purposes. Then come specimens of dyed cloths, in self colours, including drabs, pinks, ambers, greens, buffs, lavenders, and blues. Some of these goods are exceedingly delicate and perfect in colour. One of them, a Prussian blue, is very rich in appearance, giving to the surface of the material at first sight something like the pile on velvet. A sample of Turkey red is also remarkable for its brilliancy. The printed goods from the same cotton are in great variety from the most simple patterns to the most elaborate, or from a two-coloured plate up to one of 20 colours, as used for furniture prints, and embracing blockwork and machine, steam, and madder work. There are nearly 100 patterns, in almost every variety of style and colour. Many of the patterns are entirely new, and have been prepared, so far as those on ladies' dresses are concerned, for the spring trade of the present year. In the International Exhibition they are sure to command attention from the exquisite taste and fancy bestowed upon the designs, which in some cases are such as would be looked for upon goods of a richer and more expensive material, and not upon ordinary cottons. The sight of these beau tiful and highly-finished goods may well call forth the remark that it is matter of surprise there should have been a doubt, no longer than six months ago, that our manufacturers could do any thing satisfac tory with East India cotton. This excellent and unique collection of cotton goods is to be despatched to London on Wednesday next, and, in order that the public may be prepared to look for them in the Exhibition, it may be as well to mention that they will be labelled :—" Cotton Supply Association, Manchester. Manufactured exclusively from East Indian cotton, by Mr. John Cheetham, President of the Association. Printed by —." MARKETS-THIS DAY. COVENT GARDEN.

EXECUTION OF THE DERBY MURDERER. — At noon yesterday Richard Thorley, convi c t e d at the recent wretched Derby assizes of the murder of Eli za Morrow, a young woman to whom he paid his addresses, expiated hie offencecri minal, on the scaffold in front of the Derby county gaol, in the presence of a great concourse of people. The it may be remembered, mu rdered the unf or t unate young woman in revenge, s he having rejected him, and re fused to listen to his proposals. n ce his co nv i c ti on th e Si culprit has been extremely attentive to th e ex h ortat i ons of the Rev. Mr. Ikl cor e , the chaplain, and h e was a l so v i s i te d daily by Mr. R o binson, a p r imitive methodist preacher. He acknowledged the justice of his sentence, an d appeared resigned to hi s fate. During the week the culprit had fare well interviews with his mother and other relatives. The parting of the mother and s on was mos t d eep l y affect i ng. At the appointed time Thorley appeared on the scaffold, clad in the prison dress ; and the executioner having arran ged the preliminaries, the fatal bolt was drawn, and after a few convulsive struggles he ceased to exist. The body, after hanging the usual time, was cut down and buried inside the goal. 1 4 VOICE FROM THE WAREHOUsE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The condition of the recognized "London poor" has excited Mr. Peabody's munificent com passion ; will any one try to improve that of our city's unrecognised poor—its struggling traders, a very much larger class than is generally supposed, and by whom an amount of suffering is often en dured, not the less keen because it makes no sign, and which might be easily removed in a way that would benefit both the helper and the helped? This class comprises intelligent, well-conducted citizens, fit to occupy a fair position in society, which, in deed, some of them attain; they rent and keep in sightly repair good and middle-class houses, and, forming, as they do, a large proportion of the re spectable tax-paying population of London, they are not unworthy, even as a matter of policy, the consideration and help of their richer brethren, the merchant princes, to whom they are in many ways indirectly useful, and it is not improbable that to supply their :occasional wants might even form as safe an investment as another Turkish loan. Many o f th ese men l i ve w i th a frugalit y that would be despised by a well-paid artisan, and work for a number of hours that no banker's clerk would submit to ; yet, in spite of this industry and economy, their lives sometimes pass away drearily, in a miserable, continuous struggle for ways and means ; and why? Because they know of no place in this great and rich city where, on any emergency, they can obtain money at a rate sufficiently moderate to leave them a fair share of their profits, and so they fall into the hands of the bill-discounters, for whose benefit, in too many cases, they thenceforth trade, and not for their own. Take an example :—A small wholesale mer chant has a run of losses (heavy for him) which sweep away more than all his working capital. Worldly wisdom says, " Follow the example of your debtors and become bankrupt yourself;" but he is honest, industrious, and proud—perhaps even proud of his name (commerce has sometimes even its heraldry as well as rank) ; he resolves, therefore, that no one else shall suffer for his losses ; he will work himself clear, and will not have recourse to what he esteems the disgraceful expedient of bank ruptcy. This is his plan : —He will borrow for a few years sufficient money at a fair rate of interest to enable him to meet the demands brought on him by these losses; he is clearing, say, £6OO per annum, and has been spending hitherto perhaps nearly two thirds of it; this must no longer be the case; he will retrench till he is free from debt, the summer lodgings out of town shall be given up, and if his wife will help him in the counting-house, &c., he can dispense with a bookkeeper ; he calculates the proposed savings, and has good reason to hope that he will be free from debt in less than seven years if they are carried out. We will assume that our trader's wife agrees cheerfully to his wishes ; perhaps she even suggests one or two more economies—wine shall not be used unless in cases of illness, meat suppers abolished except on special occasions, and she will study how to turn and re-trim dresses and bonnets, so as to require very few new ones. Imagine all this done, and let us see the result at the end of seven years. If our trader obtained his loan with that all im portant condition, a fair rate of interest, it is long since paid back. But how if he failed to get it Suppose that, to meet the bills of his bankrupt debtors as they became due, he has been forced to the miserable expedient of getting money from the discount houses, not the leading ones—his wants are not large enough to make him an eligible cus tomer for them. Suppose him paying 12, 15, 20, 30, 40 per cent., what will then have been gained by the additional 'labours so willingly undertaken, the petty economies so hopefully planned ? What but this—to the bilibroker the profit ;to the worker a life of wearing misery, of fruitless efforts, ending perhaps in reckless despondency and utter ruin. Will this be held an extreme case P Perhaps it may be so, and yet very niuch of it is taken, briefly and truly, from the bitter experiences of, Sir, Yours, &c., THE WIFE OF A STRUGGLING TRADER. April 8. IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY. The Northern Whig calls attention to the enor mous cost of "law and justice" in Ireland. In the Civil Service Estimates for 1862.63 relating to this department the total charge for England is set down at £901,572, for Scotland at £136,310, and for Ireland at £957,218. The estimate for Ireland is, therefore, more than seven times as great as that for Scotland, and is absolutely greater by more than £50,000 than the estimate for England and Wales,,, with nearly four times the population. The inferenr. t o which a foreigner would naturally draw from th e difference in the cost of law and justice in the two countries is that the people of Ireland are pre-emi nently litigious and criminal. This inference would be quite erronous. It is proved by statistics, and generally admitted, that the Irish population is now one of the best-behaved in Europe. " The effects of the convict system," says the B hig, " rind other causes, have reduced the amount of penal offences in a degree unparalleled perhaps in the history of national reformation, and this decrease is still going on. Yet the cost of law and justice is increasing. In England the estimated cost of the county and borough and metropolitan police for 1862-3 is £368,918. In Ireland the estimated cost of the constabulary is £777,368, showing an increase of £80,421 over last year. The cost of the metro politan police is £87,600, which includes £37,000 of local income. The following table shows the cost of each department :—Law charges and crimi nall 5,53 p 6 r o ; s e c e o u u t irot Courts s, of Q £6 u l, ee l n 3 ,B 4 ; C Bench, en o c u h r , Court Commonof Chancery Pleas, and Exchequer, £19,052 ; Registrars to the Judges and Clerk of the Court of Errors, £5,932 ; Manor Courts Compensations, £2,000 ; registry of judgments, £2,314; High Court of Delegates, £3OO ; Court of Bankruptcy and Insolvency of £6,893 ; Court'of Probate, £10,330 Landed Estates Court, £11,472 ; Consolidated Office of Writs, £1,150; Revising barristers, Dub lin, £420 ; Dublin Metropolitan Police and Police . Justices, £50,600 ; Constabulary of Ireland, £777,368; Four Courts Marshalsea Prison, £2,717 total for Ireland, £957,218. A remarkable feature about the Dublin Metropo litan Police establishment is the number of pensions. There are nine police magistrates living on retiring allowances amounting to £2,652. Among the other pensioners are one commissioner (Col. Brown e ), a receiver, a secretary, a supervisor of taxes, six col lectors of police tax, three collectors of car Tents, five superintend en t s , 23 inspectors, and a long list of sergeants an d c onstables, who r ece i ve altogether in pensions th e sum of £11,583 16 s. 7d., making a total paid to the retired magistrates and members of the force of £14,238. The Bi r d's Nest wa s opened at Kingstown yes.. terday, in presence of a l arge number of ladies and gentlemen. It is an i nstitution erected for the e ducation and supp or t o f the Roman Catholic chil dren whose parent s or guar di ans may consign them to its care. The first stone was laid on the 7th o f April, 1861. I t i s a plain but commodious building, three sto r i es hi gh, containing boys' and girls' and infant school rooms, lecture hall, dormitories, bath rooms, laundry, dining hall, apartments for the master and mistress, &c. Over the door is a slab with . this inscription :—" Bird's Nest ; to the memory of Mrs. Whately and M rs . W a le." The institution is connected with the Society for Irish Church Missions. The building has cost £4,000, only one-half of which has y e t been collected The balance had been lent, £l,OOO without interest: by a munificent friend.
