" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, t?iat we have scarcely left ourselves apace for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press.

The Irish demonstrations—such as they are-e—aiiit pear to be interminable, .each succeeding display, however, being duller than its predeceseor Clon mel is the latest town that has taken up arms foi l the Pope. .Sunday was the day chosen for the meeting of the' capital of Tipperary, and the pia* of assemblage the church 'of St. Peter and St. Paid: The Very Rev. Dr. Burke, the virtual returning officer for the borough, was naturally the particular star of the day, and in the course of an intensely fervid oration, the reverend gentleman made the following jocose allusion to the spiritual power . .a. • the Queen of. England " We all - know that the Queen of th ese realms (may God bless her, for She is a good woman, though I don't like her Government) is not onlfa temporal sovereign; hut also the' spiritual head of the peotes ! tant Mitch in England and Ireland. And certainly it is a nice thing to see a woman the head of a church. (Laughter.) • She can make and unmake bishops; Or; to use the words of Elizabeth, of impie ous memory, she can frock and unfrock' them as • she likes . Only think of 'a • poor, frail woman parting to the authorities of her Church spiritual 'jurisdiction. (Laughter.) But suppose her to be; deprived of her temporal power, what would become' of her spiritual power ? Her snbjec: s would not' give anything for her spiritual power ifshe were de-' prised of her temporal jurisdiction, There is this/ difference, though, between the Queen and the Pope; that while no Protestant would care a straw' for th 6 spiritual power of the Queen, there is not a Catholic in the universe that would not as implicitly recognise the power of,the Pope, in whatever position he might be, as if he were invested with all his power." Animated by the success 'of this sally, the rev. gentleman waxed furiously eloquent upon the im pertinence of the British GoYere , nent in its dealings with the - question of Italian liber:y, and he asked, — "But don't the French want liberty ? They are governed by a despot—l don't want to censure him, 'because a strong rule is in -his case necessary ; but an: turnine. an argument on the question. I admire ,Napoleon, because but for him, but for the supreme authority which he acquired, the state, of religion and of society all over the world would be turned topsy turvy. (Hear, hear.) But • his subjects, nevertheless, want liberty in the sense those English statesmen mean, and why, then don't they send over to aid the French? Thi s i s the reason ; th e y , are afraid of the French eagle—they fear that he would flutter over their shores, and that he would_ suddenly pounce down and stick his beak in the back of John Bull. (Applause.) In RusSia the very lives of the people are in the power of the despot Alexander. Why don't these English states- - men send their fleets up the Baltic to insist 'that this great monster of the north shall give 'full liberty to his subjects as they have in glorious England? As in the other case, they are afraid of the grunting of the Russian bear—they fear that he'may descend from his northern fastnesses and !ix his tusks and his claws in the back of John Bull and tear himself and his power to shreds and patches. (Applause.) They are afraid to touch Napoleon or e'slexander of the North ; but the poor Pope they are not afraid of him, because he is' weak in a temporal sense. Thus they mre acting the part of a coward: and bully, who is afraid of a strong min, but who ilitreats a weak one. (Applause.) [A voice—" That they may not succeed.''] You are a good preacher, and' I. will say Amen to you. I think you would wield your arm for the Pope agaiost the Saxon enemy. [A voice—" No doubt of it."] (Cheers.) Will these men succeed with the power of England at their back ? ("No, no.") I say no.a thousand times. (Cheers.) It is impos sible they can succeed, for two reasons,—first, because the Pope is shielded by the Omnipotent hand ,of Him who said, Thou art rotor ; upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates Of hell shall not prevail against it;' and, next, the prayers of the glorious saints who, when living • }lore below, were an ornament to the church, will defeat every foe. (Applause.)" In the address of condolence to the Pope, which • - was read aloud by a Doctor "Luther," there occurs the following passage : "But while our grief is intense that your Holi neev's days should be embittered, and your wise and parental government of both the Church and your dominions disturbed by the plots and machinations of your enemies, in whom are. included some . misguided and ungrateful subjects of your own, we are consoled by the hope, nay, the cer tainty, founded on the signal care invariably dis played by the Divine Foundei of the church over your sainted predecessors and yourself, that He who 'sent His angel, and bath delivered Peter out of the hands of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews,' will in His ()Aril good time deliver your Holiness, the successor of Peter, from the hands and snares of your enemies. They may, like so many ferocious tigers and roaring lions, for a while worry- your Holiness, and endeavour to • hunt you-down, but the God of Jacob, who has anointed thee with holy oil, Whose hind has hitherto helped thee, and whose arm has •arqoll 2 t Apia thee,' will deliver your Holiness from tiu= snares of the hunters.' PRICE 4D. STAMPED', SD. once without waiting for the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, or they would be too late. (Hear, hear.) He was 'very glad that both the resolution and the amendment had been withdrawn, as he wished the public to think thatthe meeting knew its own mind. As the resolution now stood it would meet with the concurrence of the country and the House - of Com mons. As'first proposed,•he himself and' a great portion of the House of Commons would -not have agreed with the meeting, and he was, th e erefore, glad to see that they had agreed to the resolution as no before them. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HYSM then proposed the following resolu tion, and explained that it was similar to'the reso lution proposed and carried three years ago. " That as the whole question of the taxation of this coun try must be brought before Parliament very .early next year, it is highly important that meetin should be held forth. with iu all parts of the country,.for the purpose of consider ing the propriety of adopting a similar resolution to the foregoing,' and co-operating with thiS association." The resolution was seconded by,Mr. HALEY, and carried unanimously. 'A committee was then' appointed to carry out the objects of the mcetin and to receive subscriptions. A vote of thanks to Mr. Collier for his conduct in the chair terminated the proceedings. PATRONAGE. The office of Clerk of the Crown for the county of Tyrone has become vacant by the death of Mr. Terence Dolan, who expired quite suddenly from an attack of heart disease. Mr. Dolan had been a successful solicitor, and was possessed of a large amount of landed and household property in the township of Rathmines. In times long past he was a follower of the late Daniel O'Connell. The Clerkship of the Crown is worth £6OO a•year, and is in the gift of the Lord-Licuttnant. THE CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. o The Commissioners of Sewers met yesterday at Guildhall, Mr. Deputy Christie presiding. PUBLIC INDICATORS. Mr. PAW, chief clerk, read a letter which had been addressed to him by Mr. Ponsonby, manager to the Public Indicator Company, stating that on Tuesday last the workmen of the company com menced their preparations for erecting a public indicator, which the company bad obtained permis sion from that court to erect at Exchange buildings, but that the workmen were assailed with much violent language by the inhabitants of the neigh bourhood, and the company were next day served with notice to desist by the churchwardens of St. Michael's, Cornhill, under threat of an appeal to the Court of Chancery, and that they had desisted accordingly, restoring the pavement to its original state. _ _ Mr. 'ABRAHAMS said the interference of the churchwardens of St. Michael had raised a grave question of right, which it eves necessary should be thoroughly understood. He moved, therefore, to refer it to the General Purposes Committee. Mr. ELLIOTT seconded the motion, believing that the control and regulation of the pavement rested solely with that court. Mr. Deputy HaultisoN said he knew there had been a good deal of excitement in biz ward (Corn hill) on the subject, and he had recommended them to come by memorial to that court, which had only given permission for the continuance of the indi cator while it was not complained of us a nui sance, and would therefore, no do u bt, h ave spee dil y ordered Its removal if the nuisance were proved. The inhabitants, however, had preferred to act for themselves in the matter, and so the company had desisted. Mr. PepUty FARRAR—Yes, and by taking the law into their own hands they have succeeded much snare effectually than the Duke of Welling ton \yid) regard to the indicator near Apsley house. (Laughter.) The motion was then agreed to. SANITARY CONDITION OF TIE CITY. Dr. Lethoby, the Niedical Officer of Health, re ported of 204 houses that had been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of 87 places that required sanitary improvement. The mortality re turns have fallen from an average of 70 per week during the last tohnight to ZO. This is below the average (64) for the corresponding period of the last four years. 19 of the deaths were among infanta of less than 5 years of age, and 14 among old per sons of 60 and upwards. Diseases of the respira tory organs have declined from an .average of 30 per week to 15., There were only 2 deaths from phthisis, 7 from pneumonia, and 6 from bronchitis; ar.d diseases, of the zyniotic class have declined from 17 per week to 8. The deaths were 3 from small pox, 2 from diarrhoea, 1 from scarlet fever, 1 from diphtheria, and 1 fTom measles. 73 births were registered during the' week—viz., 37 boys and. 36.

Yesterday eve ning a numerous meeting of the in habitants -of Knightsbridge was held at the Duke of Wellington's Riding.Selliol, for the purpose of forming a ride 3orps to join the South Middlesex Volunteer Rifles:. - -"Colonel VEREIKER,'. who occupied the chair, said —Before enteriug upon the question for which this meeting has bean called, I wish to take a broad and general view of the Volunteer Rifle Movement throughout tliss kingdom, .and see whether that movement is right in principle. There are two classes of objecte rs to the . movement—those who think that this . .tothpr warlike preparations are injudicious, as boing likely to give offence toneigh-- bouring countries, a,nd.those who think that such warlike preparations are injudicious, becaus . e they betray au amount of 'groundless , alarm- which ex poses Great Britran to the ridicule of foreign nations. Now, I beg to say I do not think that either of these objections is based upon cowmon sense, andi trust this meeting coincide with me in taking this view of the questson, if-foreign nations are sincere and honestin the rprofessions of loyal alliance, why should they take - offence at ourendeasouringto raise Our military establishment to some faint - approxi mation to the armies of all the great Continental States ? (Ifear„hear.)— I( I choose to put up bolts to my doors and bars to my windows, surely no one has a right to come to me and say, " What are you doing all this for ? Do you suspect that I - harbour any design 'of trying to joreals.into your house ?" I should naturally reply to such a remark :—" Such a suspicion never crossed my mind until this mo ment, but you seem so angry at thy taking com mon prudent precautions, that I begin to think you must have sonic sinister, object in view." But I am sure that the ideas •of .persons who raise such objections are purely visionary. I am sure that no enlightened Foreign Government could for a moment entertain any unkindly feelings at. seeing us doing that at the eleventh hour which ought to have been done years ago. (Cheers.) Our policy is never one of aggression. The great - Continental wars in whiCh we gave been engagecY'Were not entered upon'through lust of con quest, or from 'a' base and perverted ambition of military glory. We have never taken up arms except in defence of the weak or to prevent Europe being trampled beneath the iron heel of overgrown ' military powers. Taking all this into consideration, surely no other country can for a moment imagine that our preparations are intended for aught but self-defence, and for placing ourselves in the position our rank as a great nation entitles us to. Now, with reference to those who say that. we expose ourselves to ridicule by betraying such apprehen sions of foreign' invasion, Ibeg to say that, in my' judgment, we have been for many years exposing ourselves to ridicule by neglecting to take the very. course that wt are now adopting, and by sleeping, as it were, with our doors and windows open, so that any who pleased might come in 'and attack us with comparative impunity. Depend upon it, the ridicule and obloquy which we have hitherto in curred from our insane . foolhardiness are fast dying away, and the world are beginning to see that we have the old blood of true and loyal Britons in our vicns. - (Great applause.) You will have resolu tions proposed for your consideration, and I am sure, when all explanations have been given, you will concur in the prudence of their adoption, (Cheers.) The Itev. Dr. WILSON, the incumbent of Knights bridge,mored the first resolution—" That this meet ing warmly sympathises with the great national movement for the formation of a powerful volunteer force for national deft-nce, and is therefore of opinion that a company of Volunteer Rifles should forth with be raised for the district of Belgravia and Knightsbridge, and 'that the company already in formation for the district of Brompton be com pleted." He said he was not guilty of any derelic tion of duty in proposing this resolution, because he considered it a peace movement, and he consi dered he was as much bound in duty to preach love and devotion to our Sovereign as to preach the fear of God. The Scriptures said—" The strong man armed keepeth his house." We were the strong man, but we were not the strong man armed. (Hear.) If they did not keep their position in the scale of nations, they would soon become a byeword among the nations of Europe. He believed that the Emperor' of the French entertained the most kindly feeling towards this country ; but the Em peror of the French was not the French army. (Hear.) Mr. SIIARPUS seconded the motion, which was carried unanimensly. nearly of full strength, it is proposed to form an Artisan Company, to be provided without expense with the 'Government Enfield rifle anVaccoutre ments. Arrangements are being made by which t,Le cost of the uniform can be repaid by. instal ments. The: volunteer artillery corps at Bristol, under the command of Major Smile, late of the Royal Artillery, is rapidly being filled up. In addition to the present corps in Cardiff, the superintendent of police is forming a 4 ‘ volunteer corps for the people," to comprise 100 willing to join if their expenses were paid. A circular has been for warded to the proprietors and parents of pupils in Cheltenham 1;ollege, stating that the directors arc disposed to sanction, with the consent of their parents, the instruction of the elder pupils in the rifle drill. - In Ilfracombe a volunteer rifle corps, numbering 71 members, has just been formed. A meeting, presided over by the mayor, and attended by the principal inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, had been held at Margate, for the purpose of forming an efficient rifle corps. , The Merthyr Tydvil corps Bumbers now n e a r ly 100, and is like,ly to be a very efficient one. The effective members of the . Portsmouth corps .number 160, with 'Bo' honorary. members, and fund. of ,X,700 At Preston, on Thursday evening last, a very enthusiastic meeting was held in the Assembly room of the Corn Exchange, at which it was unani mously agreed to form a rifle corps. Several hand some subscriptions were announced. The Ryde Rifle Volunteer Corps now form two companies, Nos. 1 and 3, or' the Isle of Wight Rifle Regiment, and numbers at presort 132 effective members. Drill takes place on Mondays and Thursdays, at the market hall, the inst r u c t or b e i ng Sergeant Major M‘Grotty, of the Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade. A band for the corps is in course of formation. Newport company forms No. 2of the regiment. A crowded and enthusiastic meetinc , was held at the Town-hall, Warminster, on Saturday afternoon, under the presidency of the Marquis of Bath, for the purpose of forming a rifle corps for that town and neighbourhood. Lord Thynne, M.P.. and many of the county magistrates were present. The expediency of forming a corps was unanimously resolved, and a committee was appointed to carry out the object. PROPERTY AND INCOME-TAX ASSO- CIATIOX. A conference of this association was held yester day evening at the London Coffee-house, to take into consideration the best means during the ensu ing session for securing "either an adjustment of the income tax, or the total abolition of the charge upon trades and professions." - Mr. COLLI ER, M.l'., who presided at the meeting, opened the proceedings by declaring his strong opinion that the income tax, as it did not distin guish between incomes derived from permanent and those from uncertain property, was unjust. He hoped, on the reimposition of the tax, that some member,of the House of Commons would move a resolution to make such a distinction, but if no. member came fotward to dO so he would move the resolution himself. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ELT, in moving the following resolution, " That this meeting is of opinion that the present mode cif charging -one uniform rate on all classes of income (ex cept under Schedule B), is manifestly unjust, and hereby pledges itself iu anticipation of a proposal to reimpose the tax, to-endeavour to obtain such a reduction in the charges on trades and professions that the amount chargeable thereon shall not -oieeed one-half the amount levied on property, especially as the amount charged on occupiers of land (Schedule 13), has been only half the amount charge able on the trading portion of the community ever since the income tax was first levied in 1842,'! exp essed his concurrence with every word of it, and stated- that they • Were assembled more for friendly conference than for. setting on foot an agitation.on the subject. In ani- reimposition of the tax there ought to be a distinction drawn between certain and uneertair. incomes. It was necessary at the present time to lay a'elear state ment of their opinions before the House of Com mons, especially as an agitation on direct and indirect taxation was arising, which he had little doubt would in 10 or 15 years' time result in a revision of the taxation of the cour try. He was not prepared to say whether the proportion adopted in the .resolution .was the right propor tion, but he thought it might form a basis for discussion, and elicit public opinion on the sub 7 ject. It appeared to him that it would not be unfair, in a revision of this tax, that the first £l5O of a man's income should be exempt from taxation, and that the tax should be charged only on the surplus that remained after the withdrawal of that sum. The resolution was seconded by Mr. POTTER, who advocated direct taxation as being more direct in its application and less expensive in collection. The pressure of the income tax upon the landed interest and those who were engaged in trade was most unequal, and as the former had been for some time past exempt from the full pressure of the tax, the latter had a right to ask to be put on the same level. He concluded by thank ing the Press for their advocacy of the rules of the society. Mr. MERRYMAN thought the resolution required amendment, and could not understand the line of distinction drawn between certain and precarious incomes. The whole income of the country ought to be derß' , ed from direct taxation, and if such were the case he should not object to a small amount being levied on the working classes, released as they would then be from all indirect taxes. On the omission of two or three words in the middle of the resolution, which would then be in harmony with the opinions of the association of Birming ham, and of others in the north, he should be content to support the resolution. Mr. HYAM, as he considered the question one of great importance, submitted the following amend ment to the meeting : " That while it may be advisable, taking into account the present enormous expenditure of the country, to levy a pro perty-tax as a permanent source of revenue, the tax on pre carious incomes derived from trades and professions should not be reimposed except under circumstances of great emer gency, especially as such incomes are in most cases essen • daily contingent upon the health of the parties on whom the tax is chargeable, and ninny other vicissitudes, to which property is not liable." • It appeared, he said, that those who had paid the income tax under Schedules I) and E had sub- mitted to a great burden,' but the time had at length come for releasing them. The present Act. expires in 1860, and it was part of the original scheme that the tax should fall in at the same time as the Long Annuities. The amount contributed by those who pay under Schedules D and Eis about the same as the amount saved by,the falling in of the Long Annuities, and on this account he _ _ thought that — those schedules might be dispensed with altogether. (Hear.) He proceeded to denounce the tax as partial and inquisitive,and giving direct encouragement to Unorality and dishonesty by causing the sendillln of false returns. The sub ject was surrounded hir difficulties, but that was no reason for not lookinglt steadily in the face. (Hear.) Mr. BoNTEms suggested that, with so small an attendance, it would be premature for the associa tion to endorse the amendment. A GENTLEMAN 'present thought the meeting had better not be too hasty, but wait until the Chan cellor of the Exchequer had produced his budget. A . tax fairly levied on property was one of the justest which could be levied. Tic could not, how ever, see why professional men should ask the State for protection witlaout their contributing a due share to the country. As to the alleged inequality of the tax, the only reasonable position would be to charge 6 per cent. on all.fixed property and 2 per cent. on all trades and professions. The estimated value of the property upon which the tax was levied was £240,000,000, and if the tax were levied as he proposed the returns would be for fixed pro perty L 12,000,000, and for trades and professions £6,000,000, giving a total of .C 18,000,000. Such a mode of adjustment would be an approximation to the feeling of the public, and would, in his opinion, be met with fairness by the landed interest to which he belonged. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Hirait said that the Chancellor .of the Ex chequer had in his speech made in October last, on board the Great Eastern, invited the expression of public opinion on these and similar topics, -so that there was no °cession to wait for the budget. Mr. ELT then withdrew his resolution, and.agreed to the amendment. A discussion then arose on the amendment, which was withdrawn also, and the following resolution was ultimately carried, with only one dissentient voice : ‘‘ That this meeting is of the opinion that the present mode of charging- one uniform rate on all classes of income (except under Schedule B) is manifestly unjust, and hereby pledges itself; in anticipation of a proposal to reimpose the tax, to use the most strenuous exertions to secure its re adjustment upon the footing of a fair and just distinction between permanent and precarious incomes." The Ca AIR3IIN then said he was a practical man, and as a 'practical man he wanted the resolution to succeed, and thought they ought to set to work at DE..1.771 OF IVA.SIIIY G TON IRVING. The mail steamer Canada, which reached Queens town on Monday afternoon, brings the mournful intelligence of the death of Washington Irving, justly acknowledged to be " one of the most grace ful writers America ever produced." He was born in New York, April 3d, 1783. His father, a respect able merchant, originally from Scotland, died while Washington was yet young, and his education was superintended by his elder brothers, three of whom had, without relinquishing active professional pur suits, gained considerable reputation for literary abilities. MiS Irving's first essays in literature were made in the New York Morning Chronicle, in which , he published his "Letters of Jonathan Oldstvle, Gent.'' These letters were concluded in 1802; and as symptoms of pulmonary disease now betrayed them selves, it was resolved that in the following year he should visit the south of Furope. lie accord ingly sailed for Bordeaux, and travelled through the south of France to Nice, where he took a felucca to Genoa, in which city he remained some two months. He then went by sea to Sicily, made the tour of the island, crossed from Palermo to Na ples, passed through Italy, meeting Allston at Rome, who strongly recommended him to devote himself to art ; thence over the St Gothard, through Swit zerland to Paris, where he remained several months. He next went to Holland, whence he embarked for England, and passing there a part of the au tumn, he returned to New York in March, 1806; completely restored to health. He resumed the study of the law, and was admitted to the bar in November of that year, but never practised. Shortly afterwards he took the chief part in "Salmagundi," the first number of which appeared January, 1807, and the last in January, 1808. In December the follo wine year he published his Knickerbocker's Ilistory c. of New York. In 1810, two of his brothers, who were engaged in commercial business, one being at the head of the establishment in America, and the other in Liverpool, gave him an interest in the concern, with the understanding that he was not to enter into the duties and details of the busi ness, but pursue his literary avocations. During the war with Great Britain in 1813-14 he edited the 4naleetic Magazine, and in the fall of the latter year joined the military staff of the governor of the state of New York, as aide-de-camp and military secretary, with the title of colonel. At the clOse of the war, May, 1815,-he embarked for Li verpool, with the intention of making a second tour of Europe, but was prevented by the sudden and great reverses which followed the return of peace, overwhelming, after a struggle of two or three years, in which Mr. Irving took an active part to avert the catastrophe, the house in which his brothers had given him an interest, and in volving himself in its ruin. In 1818 he deter mined to employ his pen as a means of support, and commenced the series of papers entitled " Sketch Book," which were transmitted piecemeal from London, where he resided, to NeW York for_publi cation. Three or four numbers were thus produced, when, finding that 'they attracted notice in Eng land, he had them published in one volume, Feb., 1820, by Mi. John Miller. On his failure shortly afterwards the work was transferred to Mr. Mur ray, with a second volume, published in July of that year. Mr. Murray had bought this copyright for £2OO, but its success far surpassing his expec tations,she sent Mr. Irving, of his own accord, first £lOO, and, the sale still increasing, an additional £lOO. After a residence of five years in England, Mr. Irving removed to Paris in August, 1820, and remained there until July of the following year, when he returned to England and published his " Braeebridge Hall," in London and New York, in May, 1822. The following winter lie passed in Dresden ; returned to Paris in 1823, and crossed to London in May, 1824, to publish his " Tales of a Traveller," which appeared in August of that year in two volumes, and in four parts in New York. In. August he returned to Paris, and in the autumn of 1825 visited the south of France, passing part of the winter in Bordeaux. In February, 1826, he left that city for Madrid, where he remained two years. There he wrote the " Life of Columbus," which appeared in 1828. In the spring of 1828 he left Madrid on a tour to the south of Spain, visiting Granada and the main points mentioned in the " Chronicles of the' Con quest of Grenada, by Fra Agapida," of which he had made a rough sketch. '1 his he prepared for the press at Seville, and transmitted to London and New York for publication ; it appeared in 1829. In the spring of this year he again visited Granada, and resided some three months in the Alhambra, where he collected materials for the work published under that name in 1832. In July he came to England, having been appointed Secretaryof Lega tion to the American Embassy, which office he held until the return of Mr. M'Lane in 1831, when, after remaining a few months as chargé, he resigned, on the arrival of Mr. Van Buren.' While in England, in 1830, Mr. Irving received one of the fifty-guinea gola medals, provided by George IV. for eminence in historical composition, the other having been awarded to Mr. Hallam, the historian, and in the following year the University of Ox ford conferred on him the degree of LL.D. In the spring of 1832 he returned to New York, after an absence of seventeen years. His appearance was greeted on all hands with the warmest enthusiasm; a public dinner was given to him, at which Chan cellor Kent presided ; and similar testimonials were-offered in other cities, which he declined. In the summer of that year he accompanied Mr. EllS worth, one of the commissioners for removing the Indian tribes west of the Mississippi, and whom he had met on a tour to the west, on his expedition. The most interesting portion of this journey has appeared in the " Tour on the Prairies," published in 1835. This was followed in the same year by " Abbotsford and Newsteacl Abbey,"and " Legends ' of the Conquest of • Spain." In 1836 he published " Astoria,' and in the following year " The Adven tures of Captain Bonneville." In 1839 he entered into an engagement, which lasted two years, with the proprietor of the Knickerbocker Magazine to furnish articles for that periodical. In February, 1842, he received, unsolicited, the appointment of Minister to Spain. He left for Madrid on the 10th of April of that year. His official duties termi nating, in the summer of 1846, he returned to America, and in 1848 commenced the publication a revised edition of his works, most of which h been long out of print. In 1849 he published "Oliver Goldsmilk, a Biography;" "Mehemet and 'his Successors," IM9-50; and "Life of Wrshing ton," 1855. Washington Irving resided up to the time of his death at his country seat, " Sunnyside," on the banks of the lludson, 25 miles from the city of New York.

FIRST SURREY RIFLES. Last meeting a numerously attended meeting of the inhabitants of Wandsworth and the surround ing neighbourhood was held at the Spread Eagle Tavern, Wandsworth, to promote the formation of a volunteer rifle company for Battersea and Wands worth, in conjunction with the Clapham Company of the Ist Surrey Rifles. The chair was taken by C. Corthorn, Esq. The CHAIRMAN having briefly stated the object of the meeting, Mr. Churchwarden -KNIGHT moved the first re solution That this meeting recognising the tendency of the volunteer movement to promote the peace and security of the B:itish Empire, desire to see the formation of a corps for Wandsworth and its vicinity, and pledges itself to give such corps its hearty and energetic support." Carried unanimou ly. General PoLLOCK then moved the second resolu tion, which was as follows :—" That this meeting resolves that the corps now to be enrolled, shall be raised in conjunction wit's the Clapham Company, especiallyHepar ticular ma i n n d of an officer. Now, corps raised in a certain district should be kept in under Battersea, that a he could say, from his own experience, that would that di s tri districts, e be a great mistake. If every town and village was each to raise a corps, and not join any regiment, it would be perfectly impossible for a general officer to command them. Supposing several companies were called out the general officer would say to one party, " You go to the right," and to another, "You take up that position to the left." The parties would then begin to quarrel, and the men of one company would say—" Why, have we not a right to say that we should take up that ground as well as they "? while, on the other hand, the other party would say—"We liko that ground best, and we will there.,' (Ileac, hear.) ' This being so, it was quite clear that if they did not act in unison they would be utterly unfit to perform the duties they might be called upon to execute. (Hear, hear.) He merely threw out these hints to shew them the position ttey would be in if they acted indepen dently of one another. The resolution was carried amidst loud cheers. The proceedings terminated, a f ter a vote of thanks to the chair had been given. • • PADDINGTON.

The pleas are chiefly' technical, such as constitute the delight of all law courts, especially in Scotland, and it will doubtless not be the fault of the parties engaged if the arguments upon them do not prove interminable. Any discussion regard. ing them, however, would be totally uninteresting to the general public, as wed as inopportune while the matter is awaiting judgment; and as at the period when; according to the ordinary rate of pro cedure at Edinburgh, a conclusion shall have been arrived at, the present generation will, perhaps, have half finished their course and forgotten all about the Western Bank and its victims, there seems little prospect of its ever figuring nein as a matter for profitable comment. The chief point reliad upon in the present defence seems to be in the shape of an objection to the competency of the liquidators to institute the action. Setting this aside there is nothing to call for notice, except some remarks interspersed in a long " statement of facts" by which the pleas are preceded. These ,furnish a few warnings:for joint-stock proprietors, together with examples of the views of eminent Glasgow mer chants as to the moral liabilities they incur when they allow their names to be published to the world as an attraction to families, widows, and orphans to intrust their savings to the care of a bank. In the first place it is to bc. , observed that great force is attached to the insignificant pay i•aoeived by the directors, and which is evidently held to show that they had no objects of personal gain. Appa rently the deputy-governor had no remuneration' whateren, or at all events only such as was merely nominal ; and it will be interesting for the advocates of public parsimony and - cheap labour to learn that even the six ordinary directors, by whom the whole active business of this magnificent institution was carried on, were content to devote theinselves to the welfare'of their constituents under a clause of the deed of contract that they should "severally be paid for their attendance at the rate of not less than ss. sterling for each meeting." For this modest allow ance they undertook to sway the financial destinies of• Glasgow, and succeeded in bringing disgrace upon the whole empire, and inflicting a loss of about £3,000,000 sterling upon those who had trusted them. Northern economy was never more strongly ex emplified ; but it will be a question whether it is. better for shareholders to adopt the principle of giving good pay for good service, or of granting re muneration on such a scale that in case of disaster they can be.confrontea with the intimation that, at . all events, they have been ruined gratis. The next most serious consideration suggested by the present statement consists in the additional light it throws upon the way in which shareholders consent to the most lax and - corrupt sacrifice of their rights in signing deeds of settlement without inquiry. The deputy-governor of the Western Baah of Scotland claims immunity from all responsibility by boldly quoting the duties of his high office as they are defined in the contract under which the concern was established :—. l l`he governor and deputy governor and six extraordinary directors of the company are hereby expressly exempted from the necessity of superintending or taking any charge of the affairs of the company, and it shall not be neces sary to convene them to any meeting, ordinary or extraordinary, of the affairs of the company." The Governor, therefore, could do no wrong, and if thousands of people, including retired tradesmen, clergymen, governesses, or artisans, were led to part with thir money through any reliance upon the vigilance of these personages, they have only themselves to blame. There was the deed of co partnery in some strong closet ; they might ha'Ve seen it on application, and they ought to haVe had it all by heart. Such are the leading grounds on which moral absolution is demanded in the present case, and legal immunity wilt possibly be still more . easy of attainment. Meanwhile, however, let the world turn the lesson to use, and avoid all persons who may offer to work for nothing, and all associa tions in which they are at the mercy of deeds of settlement, even though prepared and submitted by " honourable men," which they have not time to read or the ability to understand.—Times. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING TILE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The return of deaths in London in the week that ended last Saturday exhibits a small decrease on the numbers of the two previous weeks, which a little exceeded 1,300, while that tow given is 1,289. In the 10,years 1849.58 the.average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,221; but as the deaths now registered occurred in a population which has increased, they should be compared with the average raised in proportion to the increase—namely, with 1,343. , The comparison shows that the 1,289 deaths of last week were less by 54 than the number that would have occurred if the average rate of mortality for the first week of December kad prevailed. The births of last week exceeded the deaths in, • the same time by 549. The fatal cases of smallpox recorded last week were 40, of which 29 occurred under 10 years of age, 1 at 10 years and under 15, 3 at 15 and under 20 years, and 7at 20 and under 40 years. Seven deaths from the disease occurred in the Smallpox Hospital. Of 31 deaths from measles, 5 occurred in the Green sub-district of Bethnal-green. Eighty two deaths are referred to scarlatina, and 15 to diphtheria. From the former disease 9 occurred in Islington, l and 7in Mile-end Old Town. The deaths from bronchitis were 181, of which two-thirds oc curred to persons who were 40 years old and up wards. The greatest age recorded in the week's returns is that of a widow, who died at the age of 93. Twelve persons died.by suicide r 2 infants by murder, 5 by suffocation, 28(from having been born prematurely. Four deaths ,were the direct result of intemperance. Of bricklayers 3 died in the week,sof bricklayers' wives 2, ok bricklayers' children 5 ;' of carpenters 8 died, of carpenters' wives 2, of carpenters' chil dren 28; of masons 1 died, of masons' wives 1, of masons' children ,2 ; of painters 9 died, of painters' wives 3, .of painters' children 11 ; of plasterers 1 died; of plasterers' children 4. Last week'the 'births of 920 boys and 918 girls, in all 1,833 children, were registered in London In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1849-58 the average number was 1,585. At the — Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer iu the week was 29.923 inches. The daily barometrical reading rose steadily on the last five days, and was above 3t) inches on the last three days. The barometry fell to 9 9.21 inches on Monday, and rose to 30.59 inches on Sa turday, being the lowest and highest points respec tively in the week. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 4P3 deg., which is 6.4 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The thermometer fell to 26.9 deg. on Sunday, or 5.1 deg. below the freezing point of water, and rose to 55.5 deg. on the next day, these being the lowest and the highest in the week. The entire range in the week was therefore 28 . 6 deg. The mean daily range was 12.1 deg. The, temperature fell towards the end of the week. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 411 deg. The difference be tween the mean-dew temperature and air tempe rature was 2 4 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 92. The wind blew from the south west in the earlier half of the week ; afterwards chiefly from the south-east and east. Rain fell to the amount of 0 . 41 inches, most of it on Monday.
