THE FEMAI..t. thir re , :l.1"; Wit 101:alletlt the.. cir oir.,ortmcts receiit I y fitf“.•losCa on id at St. Thomas's of the body of to., iNhvidual, called James Allen, rdiose sex remained undisco vered for many years, although married to a woman upwards of 21 years ago, during which period the deceased assumed the garb of rllaia, and laboured one. The deceased was kilted while at work on the premi,es of Mr. Crisp, a shipwright at Dockhead, in consequence of being struck on the head with a large log of wood, while engaged in sawing a piece of timber along with a man named Shrove ; the former was underneath when the accident occured, and WWI killed on the spot. The body was foithnith eon veyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, and on being di vested of men ' s apparel, to the actoni.shment of all present, and no lelts so to a fornale also in attend- mice, to whom the deceased was married 21 years ago, it was dlicovered that the latter was of the feminine bonder. Since the inquest was held on the body, owing to the very peculiar facts that were lqought to light relative to the deceased, we have collected the following particulars Irons the female, whom the deceased had led to the altar and plighted her faith to, twenty-one years ago. The woman who had been married to the deceased produced the cert;ficate, by which it appeared that the marriage was solemnised at Camberwell church, on the 13th of December, 1808. Previous to its having taken place, the deceased lived as groom in the service of a Mr. Ward, No. d, Camberwell-terrace. Our in formant, Mary- Allen, was also housemaid in the same gentleman's family, and it was while living there she first became acquainted with the deceased, who at that time was considered a smart and handsome young man, and an excellent groom, doing all the woih belonging to the situation quite to the satiS . - faction of the geffileman with whole she acted in that capacity. Mary Allen remained as housemaid with Mr. Ward for three years, and it was at thelatter part of this period the deceased began to be extremely attentive to her, and who was viewed in the light of a lover by Mary, who at length consented, at the ear nest entreaties of the deceased,to be married. The ma trimonial alliance took placebetween the parties at the time above specified,and from the church they retired together to a house called the Bull,in Gray's-Inn-lane, where they slept. Very soon after they had retired to bed the bridegroom was taken ill, and continued, or pretended to be so, the remainder of the night. Previous to the marriage, the deceased had lived in the service of Alderman Atkins as groom, and with other gentlemen in the same capacity. Subsequently to the marriage, Mary Allen went back to service, and the deceased was hired into the service of Mr. Lonedale, of Maze-hill, Blackheath, and stayed there some time, during which period the new-married couple seldom saw each other, but carried on an epietolury correspondence, in which the deceased al ways wrote most affectionately to the bride, address ing bet in all the endearing terms of a wife; and con cluding her letters, by subscribing herself the bride's most loving and affectionate husband, tread death. They were absent from each other eight months, and at the expiration of that period the deceased prevailed on t he bride, Mary Allen, to threw up her situation, and both live together as man and wife. Mary consented, and at this period the deceased, having accumulated sonic money, became landlord of a public-house, called the Sun," at Baldock, in Hertfordshire, and was getting on most prosperously, until their house was broken into one night, and robbed of all the money it contained. After this misfortune, it ap pears, the deceased gave up the business, and came to London, with the bride, and took lodgings in the neighbourhood of Dockhead. Here the deceased determined on working as a labourer, and obtained employment in a ship-builder's yard as a pitch-boiler. During the time the deceased was in this siotation, her sex was never discovered by any of the men with whom she laboured, and with whom she was in the constant habit of associating. When she left the above situation, she got employment in the yards of other ship-builders, and was always considered a sober, steady, strong, active man. There was rather a peculiarity in the tone of voice, which subjected the deceased to raillery amongst the men -,,vith whom she worked: but they never for a moment doubted that she was of any other' than the mate sex. The de ceased also worked a vitriol riaantActory previous to her having entered the service of Mr. Crisp, at Dockheed, in whose employ she had worked for a considerable time preceding the accident which de prived her of life. 1 he woman to whom the de ceased was marrio'., on being ouestioeed as to At lit tiler she hnew her six, declared most positively that she never did ; and when further questioned as to how it was possible that fact could have been a secret to her, she replied that she was always of opinion, since the first night of their marriage, that the (teepee , ' was en imperfect person, for whenever 7 - !, approach her, sic always shrunk aseie j , evaoeitly anxious not to be touched. Mary Alice adds, that whenever she mentioned certain pectiliar circumstances to the deceased, the latter was eiezeedingly angry. Mary Allen believed till the asseverations -af--her supposed husband; and never afterwards alluded to the subject, and had even kept the fact of her suspicious relative to the deceased a profound secret from all her family, not one of whom timely any thing wrong until the death, which explained the whole mystery. The deceased was described as of rather art ill-temper, and expressed strong resentment against the poor woman whenever the latter noticed a man particularly. Upon thee° oecaeione the deceased 'lever faded to act the part of the jealous husband, and has often inflicted cor poral punishment on the wife when she considered that she was not conducting herself es she ought to do. The reason Mary Allan (as site had been called ever since the solemnization of marriage) as signs for not discleeing her suspicions relative to the sex of the deceived to her friends, was in coneidera• tion of her generally kind and affectionate behaviour towards her; for the deceased worked early and late far their subsistence, and the labour she was employed at could not hare been performed except by a person of uncommon strength of body, which the deceased possessed in an extraordinary degree for one of her sex. In her lifetime the deceased generally dressed in eader's clothes, like shipwrights, and always wore thick flannel waistcoats, which ex tended from the neck down to the hips, and to this circumstance Mary Allen attributes never having had en opportunity of observing the neck of the deceased, which wasfound to be like that of other women,andin order the more effectually to conceal ir, she also wraoped a bandage over her chest, as she said, for the purpose of protecting her lungs from colt:, as she was in the habit of being much exposed to cold and wet, often working over her knees in water when engaged in clearing out the ways, that is, cleansing a part of a shipwright's yard of the mud collected on the receding of the tide. The de ceased was of a most ingenious turn, and was a very expert carpenter, in addition to her other qualifica tions; in fact, as Mary Allen describes, she could turn her hand to any thing. During the whole period they had lived together Mary Allen never heard of or saw any relatives belonging to the de ceased, who had at one time stated that she was born at Yarmouth ; but as to whether this was true or not, there was no telling, no person coming for ward who knew the deceased previous to the time she had adopted the part of a mart and laboured in that character. 'Since the decease of thie • extraordinary woman, with the permission of Mary Allen, her body has been opened, and was found perfect in all its part. Subsequently to the examination, the body of the deCeaeed was placed in a coffin and conveyed to the lodging of Mary Allen, who appears greatly affected at the death of the deceased. The former seems to. he in very indigent circumstances, and can scarcely scrap e up money enough to pay tile undertaker for the expenses of interment. It appears that the deceased - was a 'member of a benefit club for many Years, and regularly paid up her arrears to the society. Since her decease, however, some demur has been made to the benefits arising from the society, on the ground that the deceased has been all along imposing on it by repreS , antiligherSele a§ El man, and always appearing in toe chinacter.of one when she attended their mtetings. Although the above re port has gone forth, we tan scarcely give credit to the rumour; is would indeed be unjust to withhold that from Mery Allen ;ditch slle is entitled to if the deceased dkkring hFr lifetime kept up her payments to the society, as we are given to understand she has always clone. From the view we had of the body, there is no doubt the deceased must have been an interesting looking woman ; hue limbs were well proportioned, end the only feature of a masculine character that wo observed about her was her hands, Ivlaich were large and the flesh extremely hard, owing to the work she was engaged in for so many years. On Saturday a meeting of Mr. Blomfield's pu pil*, of Bnry St. Edmund's (father of the Lord Bishop of London), was held at the Angel Inn, for the purpose ()frank ing arrangements in fiatherattre of the design of present ing a piece of plate to that gentleman on his retirement, as a mark of the very reset in whieh he is so exten sively held. CoUNTY LouTH.—A meeting of the friends of civil and religions liberty iu this county is to take place at Dundalk, on Friday the 16th instant, for the purpose of addressing the Marquis of Anglesey on his departure from this kingdom.

On the night of Sunday, some person or per sons entered the dwelling-house of Mr. Steven'', situate near the Boren inanagh -road, near the gas-works, by getting over the wall. They went into Mr. Stevelley's bed-room, and stole a lark moat and vest, two pair of shoes, a hat, two pair of stoehings, one pair with tvhite cotton and wool inside, and a check apron ; they afterwards broke open the pantry, and stole font- silver table-spoons, one silver gravy,p . Laoten silver dessert-spoons, and two silver batter-ladles,Ptstia with a stag's bead. They afterwards went inter the kitchen and tied all up in a check apron; made tillitire and boiled four eggs, got bread and butter and ate supper ; they left the letters which were in the coat-pocket on the hearth-stone ; and also took some bread. Every exertion is making to bring the offendeie to justice. —Cork Constitution. . That coals are to be found in the neighbour hood of Stamford has for many years been a popular opi nion. The strong evidences of iron ere afforded in the chalyheate streams of Easton and Whittering are well known ; and geologists pronounce that where iron-stone is found abundant, there in general the substratum is coal.— At Nassington, about six miles south-west of Stamford, the pretence of iron ore is so remarkable, that the Earl of Westmoreland is at this time employing an active person (Mr. Stannifortll) who has withi❑ these three er four years gone to iesside in the parish, in digging and boring with a view to the discovery of coal. At present, we belhve ; the boring is to any great depth, but the belief that coal will ultimately reward the investigation is greatly strengthened by the finding of considerable quantities of a beautiful calcareous spar, which is undoubtedly the tale or mica of chemistry ; this is usually en intervening stratum between iron-stone and coal. The hon. stone is so remark ably rich, that Mr. Stanniforth has been able by the heat of a common smith's forge to procure metal from it. Lin coin Mercury. A Cratoes ithsTAKE.—(A:FAcr.)--In a village a few miles west of Blandford, on Christmas even ing last, a company of melodious singers proceeded as usual from house to house exerting their musical talents in singing the customary psalms and hymns. Having amused the inhabitants of the village with their delightful notes they pr seeded to a farm-horse in the neighbourhood to give the inmates a specimen of their superior talents, and struck up one .4 their best tunes for the purpose. A young men, feeder of a swinish herd, who was rather bard of hearing, was awoke from his sleep by (as he said) a strange sound and fancied it must he come thieves stealing the who he supposed did not meth relish moving their quarters, and were making opposition to their removal ; he imme diately jumped out from his bed, dor.ned his smock-frock in haste, and with a large bludgeon in his hand tan down stairs with the determination to knock the first man down who dared to molest his fostered herd. Luchily for the mneicians his organs of sight were better than time of hearing, rer net rushing out violently, thinking to catch the thieves, to his great astcnishineut he fund hirr , .:‘l!in the midst of the sir.gers, when immediately making e sudden stol; he sang seat " Faith ! is it yon! if I did'ot think somebody were stealing the pigs !"—Plyonouth Journal. CHILD STEALING.-011 Monday last, a woman of the name of Hannah Atherton, the wife of a shopkeeper at ()they, and who had for several days lodged with a woman of the name of 'W:tem], in Woodhouee lane, called upon Blieabeth Lee, the wife of a weaver, at Woodhouse Moor, representing herself as coming from a Mrs. Cirrell, in St. Peter's-eqnare. She said, that at the request of Mr. Battye, surgeon, tie had come to fetch away Mrs. Lee's infant child, five woke old, ee, Mrs. Cir rell had lately been confined, and her child being dead, she had an overflowing of milk, which, unless Mrs. Lee sent her child, was likely to cause the milk fever. Sile then produced a letter, purporting to he from a Mrs. Smith, re questing Mrs. Lee to give tlp her child, and stating that it would be provided fee by Mrs. Cirrell. Atherton also presented the W(1:11till with a sovereign. Mr. 13ettye having attended Ma. Lee, and she knowing a Mrs. Smith, gave the Emiy so plausible en appearence,that she foolishly gave up her child. This was done in the absence of her hus band. On his return home, he felt debious about the story, and sent his wife to make inquiries, when it turned out that there were no such parties as had been repte&ented, and that Mr. Battye had made no such request. In the course of her inquir:,, a boy, who knew Mrs. Lee's child, told her he thought he had seen it upon a woman'e knee at Ibbetson'e. Thither the distracted mother re paired, and found the child upon the prisoner's lap, as if she was in the act of suckling it. The prisoner immedi ately ran up stairs, and at first denied that the child was Mrs. Lee's, but afterwards admitted it. She was given in ensto4 to the police, who were obliged to use great exer tions to prevent the crowd from doing summary justice upon her.—On Tuesday Mrs. Atherton underwent an ex amintoion before the Mayor, and Julia Brooke, Esq., &t the Court-House, when her defence was, " that she took it ant of charity." She was remanded until this day, when she will undergo a further examination. —Leona Intellipeneer. TIIE RABY HUNT.—The Marquis of Cleve land's fox hounds threw aft on blonds) , morning last, at Wood End, about three miles from Thirsk, where they found, and the fox took the direction of the town. It being market-day, the dogs were called off at the town end, when the fox croasod the Flats, and came on the Harbour Yard, where he was turned by some boys at play. He then leaped the garden wall of Mr. Bell, where he was observed by the gardeners, who immediately gave him chase ha the garden, which is completely walled in. After a ten minutes' run, he again leaped the wall into Mr. Enipson's yard, and came up to the house of Mr. Master man, where some carts were so placed that he could not pass without leaping the cellar door, which was partially propped open, but in such a manner that Reynard could not eve the interior until be had made his spring. Imme diately on gaining a glimpse of the rover for which he was making, he threw himself against one of the squares of the window, but this effort would nut do, and be came to earth head foremost. But, instantly recovering himself, he broke away, and a general chase by all the market people commenced. The carts being planted in close rows, gave him a great advantage, and he threaded them beautifully, frequently throwing the biped pack at fault. He at lest left the carts, crossed among the pot stalls, made off through the corn market, among the carriers' waggons, and up to toe White Swan Inn, where he was seized and bared. Information was then sett to the hunters at the outeleirte of the town, who immediately arrived and bore him off in triumph, after liberally rewarding his raptor. He woe then turned down in Sowerby Field, and killed, after a short rnu. The scene during this extraordinary chase in the market place beggars all description ; the barking of cure, the screaming of pigs, the shouting and hallooing of the old women, and the motley throng in the market, formed such a contrast to the " deep-mouthed music of the pack," that no wonder Reynard should be con ' founded. Such a hunt was never before witnessed, and it is more than probable, that ; so foolish a fox as this will never travel again to Thirtk inarket.—Leeds hadligencer. SPORTING INTELLIGENCL. PONTEFII.

SHIPWRECK-PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE. We copy the following extract from a letter re ceived since our last, by a respectable merchant in this town, from Mr. Welter Burke, of Burkeville, in the county of Galway, who had been a passenger in the vessel wrecked, which was bound for this port with a cargo of timber, .for Mr. Burke, of Back street :-- " Harris island, off the North Coast of Scotland, December 23, 1826. " My Dear —, After encountering one of the most awful and unprecedented escapes ever heard of, we were cast on the islend of Killagrey, close to this place, on the morning of Sunday last. We sailed from Quebec on the 15th of last November, and had the misfortune to meet with one continued series of gales and hurricanes until the 10th of this month, when within about :300 miles of Slyne-head, we encoun tered one of the most dreadful gales of wind that ever was known. Captain Briggs laid the ship too, under bare poles, and continued so until next morning, when the ship was struck . by an unlucky and tre mendous sea which carried away at one sweep every article on deck, via.—our two boats, the cook house, water casks, cables, and all the deals which were there. ImMediately after this, another sea struck her and brcke in all her tipper and lower stern-windows, carrying with it almost every article in the cabin. Captain Briggs nod all hands were at the pumps, but on Wednesday morning he found they were no longer useful, as the ship was perfectly water-logged. In a few moments the forecastle was full of water, and all the men obliged to take shelter in the cabin, which, fortunately was a deck one, or we should nil hat c been obliged to take refuge in the main-top. In this awful situa tion, without one drop of water to drink—with out a fire—without a light—without cc morsel to eat but a bit of damaged biscuit, for twelve days and twelve long nights, we ran about eight hundred miles through the Atlantic Ocean, and our deck sill that tine under water, and although we had no compass to steer the vessel by (the binnacle and four brass compasies being also washed away), Providence threw us here on the rocks on Sunday morning lost, but I regret to say with every person on board more like skadows than men. Six of the crew had given up six days before. We made the land from ex haustion ; two of the crew, Thomas Herman and John Mglaurty (both of Galway), got deranged, but I am happy to say they are now doing very well, and I expect that their intellects will recover in a few days. Captain Briggs and myself were us badly off as the rest of the men on board, and it IV,:i with a great deal of difficulty we walked a few yards ashore here, to the hospitable roof of Major 11'Neil, where he and his good wife, God bless them for it, did every thing to relieve our ex hausted and emaciated * frames. I must not omit to mention that we owed the preservation of our lit-es for twelve days, to a barrel of apples, which Captain Briggs was carrying to Mr. P. M. Lynch, of Galway, as a present from Mr. James Hamilton, of Quebec ; these in some measure supplied our want of water, and even these were all used three days before we made the land. Had we been two days longer on the wreck, we all must have perished, hut may God be ever praised ! He has saved us for a fitter time. The ship is now a complete wreck. Captain Briggs has written to the Agent for Lloyd's at Stornaway—and hits also sent an express to the Custom-house. The cargo is little the worse, and none lot.t but about sixty planks and two logs that were on deck. Captain Briggs and myself are anx ious that you would give there particulars to Peter O'Flaherty, that he may have them inserted in the Connaught . „Tin:rnal. Write to me, and send the Connaught Journal, both your letter and the pap-: directed to the Post-office, Inverness. I bought 120 acres of excellent land between Quebec and Montreal, in America, fcr 53!. I had a few presents for my friends, which with ten gallons of fine brandy were all lost at " one fell swoop." We forgot to mention that the name of the ship was the John Allen, Briggs, master, burden 600 tons.—Connaught journal. AUTHENTIC ANECDOTE OF HIS rRESENT MAJFSTY, GNORGE IV. writs: Pm s'eE 0/ WALWR.—AiI individual, named Lukin, who was then coach-maker to his Royal Highntes, invented a life-holt, which happened accidentally to he tern by the Prince in progress. His Royal Highness made the most minute enquiries into its principle, plan, and object ; with the whole of which he was se pleased, that he desired Mr. Lukin to spare no etpcnce to bring it to perfection, firr that he would defray the whole cost of the experiment from his private parse. This he actually (lid, and had the happiness to sce his be nevolence rewarded by the complete success of the inven tion.—Berkshire Chronicle. The Clergy of the East Riding have sent a requisition to the .Archdeacon, to convene a meeting of the Clergy to petition against the Roman Catholic Claims. The Archdeacon has declined acceding to the request of his clergy; but there will, however, be a meeting shortly, for that purpose, notwithstanding.— Yorh Chronicle. We ob*erve a denial (rffcial of course) of the youthful Marquis of Aberuorn having joined the bonne at Gorhambury. We have made inquiry, minute as the importance of the subject demanded, and we sub mit the result to our readers :—The young Marquis, then, had actually thirteen beau fide shots, and two miss -fires; his Lordship brought to hook five cock pheasants, one old brood hen (for which he paid the usual forfeit), and very narrowly missed bagging an elderly Field Marshal. We enter into these minutia to show that on great occasions we can he as official as our neighbours.—Morning ChroNicie. There are now living, in perfect health, in a small village enjoining the east side of Yoxford, Suffolk, 12 men, with their wives, whose combined years, since marriage, make 529 ; and what is remarkably singular is, that the combined ages of the men are exactly equal to the combined ages of the women, viss. 846 years. One of the women has never yet slept from her own bed since her marriage, a period of upwards of 41 years.—Cam bridge Chineicle. STATE OF TRADE.—There has been no ma terial alteration in the cotton trade during the past week. The demand for yarn has been rather better; but in piece goods, particularly in printing cloth, there is no improve ment whatever. On the contrary, we understand the sales of hand•loom cloth are rather more difficult to make than they were last week. In consequence of the turn out of power-loom weavers at Stockport, a small advance has been asked upon cloth of that description; bet we be lieve it has been obtained only in very few instances. There are now nearly twenty mills off work at Stockport, in con sequence of the work-people, spinners, and power-weavers, refusing fo accept a reduced rate of wages, and the num ber of persons thus thrown out of employment is said to amount to near MOO. There has been also a partial turn-out of fustian-cutters in this town. We trust that the state of trade will soo❑ enable the manufac turer to return to the prices he has lately given ; for though the present state of the market is discouraging enough, it is too early in the season to form an eyleion upon its future Prospects. The shipments to the United States will undoubtedly be small as compared with those of I Ist spring, which were the heaviest ever known ; but political events do not affect cur intercourse with some other quarters so prejudicially as they did during tin• greater part of last year. Buenos Ayres is once more an open port, and there is reason to helices that the trade to Por tugal, and to Turkey and the Levant, ntly now he car ried on with perfect safety. We observe that the ship merits to all these quarters have very much increased der ing the last few weeks. trust, therefore, that in a short time we shall See a considerable ariendtnent in tLe prospects of the cettou trade.—Blanchester Herald. SPIRIT` O 1 THE LON Di):N .101.TINALS. The Dublin Papers contain little intelligence north remarking on, if rve except another in stance of apparently very gross misconduct in one of the administrators of the law. The la,t case adverted to was that oftl - e Grand Jury who refused to find a bill, in th€ teeth of the most positive evidence. We now find it reported from Rathangan, that a Zia bitting on the bench refused to act as a Alagistrate in co operation with a brother jw:tice, a cleigyplan, who had found it his duty to sign informations, sworn by a young woman arainst a genticinz , at for an assault. As couns€l attended in the person of Mr. O'Connell, W suppose that th[3 peccant justice or the peace ha 3 not heard the la st of it. Some of the Dublin Journals seem to allege, that Sir Anthony Hart is to share with Lord Anglcaca the honour of his impolitic and much-lamented recall. On whrt ground can such a punio , ment (for it is so designed) of the Chief Judge of a great country be justified ? llas Sir Anthony Hart failed :a any of those duties which aro required u an honest Lord Chancellor? Has he shown ignorance of the law, or a disregard of justice, or any other inca pacity for the judgment-seat? Or in his political character is there a single act of intemperate med dling to be brought against hill, or of imschiev ous partisanship, or of disrespeit toward the late commands or inclinations of the Govern ment? Tile angry removal of a Lord Chan cellor from his office, were he a far less eminent lawyer than Sir Anthony Hart., and of less un blemished reputation for impartiality, may be a more hazardous and awful indication of an unfait spirit in the King's Ministers towards Ireland, than the dismissal of the must popular Lord Lieutenant, because it is a reproach to a Judge fur not being a partisan, and in 3o far a downright tampering with justice. It proclaims to the whole bar of both countries, that whether an Iris( Chancellor be or be not a lawyer upon the bench, he must be at all evnits a politician in his chamber ;—that the ory Ministers of England will not tolerate a , nan who is de voted to the law, and indifferent about faction ; but that (in one sense) an *ndifferent Judge will answer all the purposes of Irish equity, provided he he a zealot in the affairs of party; nd that the feelings of the 13€4f-steak Chili me a preferable test of merit in a Lvrd Chancellor to those of the suitors in his court. What else, indeed, can be the conclusion, when we see such a person as Lord Manners rais•2d to the peciar, and left for more than twenty years in Ireland, while Sir A. Hart rcrnnins a commoner, and is menaced at least with ignominious dismissal be fore a single twelvemonth has expired ? There has, indeed, been. no proof made public that the Learned Lord is actually destined to experi ence this manifestation of the loyal displeasure for his contempt of party, and for his dispas sionate watchfulness over the King's peace : the nation, however, generally fears it, and the Cum berland fanatics exult in the catastrophe as being on the point of completion. Sir Anthony Hart's appointment as one of the Lords Justices demonstrates nothing on either side of the ques tion, except, perhaps, that in the opinion of Ministers one shock at a time is as much as the country can bear up against. It only wants the substitution of Sir C. Wetherell for Sir A. Hart, then will the Cumberland cauldron be full—then, indeed, will the " hell-broth bubble:' It is stated by our correspondents, that the formal letter of recall arrived in Dublin on the 12th, and that Lord Anglesea v;rould lose no time.in taking his departure from Ireland. Re pents have been circulated- that the government by Lords Justices is to be protracted much more than usual. If Lords-Lieutenant of counties were appointed, as in England, and with the same speoies of responsibility, we conceive that a new and most important elsannel would be opened for the flow and action of the executive power throughout Ireland, and a fit foundation laid for the ultimate abolition of the expensive office of Viceroy. But at present we hardly look to the consammi ation of such a change.— Times. An Evening Paper, which labours to dimi nish the impression produced by the accounts from Ireland of the deep and general regret evinced at the recall of the Marquis of Auglesea, , not being able to deny the fact of numerous and crowded meetings having taken place, for the purpose of recording the almost universal dissa tisfaction that measure has occasioned, proceeds to exhaust a well-assorted vocabulary in giving vent to its virtuous indignation at the desecra tion of religious edifices, by their being selected for those unhallowed assemblages. No doubt there is much that is highly laudable in this al most apostolic fervour, and it would be still more praiseworthy, if its operation were not confined to the atrocities perpetrated in this way by out Catholic fellow-subjects. To be sure, the Irish say that the grievances they complain of =arising altogether out of religious disabilities—are not unaptly discussed in buildings appropriated to re ligious purposes ; but this is one of Pat's usual blundering misconceptions. But has our con temporary never heard of meetings for purposes more exclusively secular being held in the reli gious edifices of this metropolis ? Does he for get where the election of Common Councilmen for the Ward of Farringdon Without took place ? Has he no recollection of the ribaldry which banished every decent female from the gal leries of the Church of St. Andrew, Holborn, on that very recant occasion ? Are the Meet ings of Select and Common Vestries so decorous in their proceedings, and so chaste in their lan guage, as to do no dishonour to the Douse of God ? In the name of Heaven, let us have done with this unmeaning cant ; or, if that be impossible, let us be a little more impartial in the use of it ; to speak in the strain of these modern puritans, let us take the beam from our own eyes before we find fault with the mote that is in our brother's.—Morning Chronicle. - Mr. O'Connell appears to be very confident that there is no law to prevent him from taking his seat in Parliament. We refer our readers to the account of the proceedings of the Catholic Association on Tuesday last, another column, for an outline of the grounds of his opinion. It has often been said that occasions create the men whom they demand. This way be true to a certain extent. We cannot, however, help thinking that occasions are sometimes lost for want of the - men properly qualified to take ad vantage of them. When we recollect the state of apathy in which the Catholics of Ireland were plunged before Mr. O'Connell devoted himself to their regeneration, and the effect produced by his exertions, we are strongly inclined to believe that Mr. O'Connell has not been more created by the wrongs of the Catholics than the present imposing attitude of the Catholics has been the work of Mr. O'Connell. He seems to be the very man of all others demanded for the exigencies of the Catholics in the present day. Were the battle . 9f the Catho
