At a Meeting of the Catholic Association held on Thursday last at Dublin, Mr. O'Connell announced the receipt of 295/. 9s. 5d., from the State of New York alone. He took the opportunity of passing many deserved encomiums on the spirit of liberality of the Americans. lie also announced his intention of setting out for Loudon on Friday, Feb. 6. This day's supply of Beasts, Calves, and Porkers, was very limited for the time of year ; of Sheep moderately good. Beef and Pork, on account of the shortness of the supply, and favourable state of the weather for slaughter ing, went off with some degree of briskness, at an advance of from 2d. to 4d. per acme ; Mutton and Veal at about Friday's prices. . .

The resolution was barely carried by a meagre majority. In the course of the discussion, Sir E. Stanley, who pro posed the grant, observed, that at the Coronation of the King of France, the Duke spent 140,0001. in six weeks at Paris, and 53,000/. in three weeks at Rheims. SILK TRADE IN STAFFORDSHIRE.—We are sorry to learn that the silk trade, so far as it is carried on in this county, is in a very depressed state. Several mills are entirely closed, and in others the daily or weekly time of working, as well as the number of hands, have undergone a considerable reduction. —lllizecle tfield Courier COUNTRY CORN MARKETS. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE MARKET—Jan, 31. The late frost having stopped the foreign arrivals, and our farmers bringing us in moderate supplies of Wheat, sales were more ready to-day at about Is. per quarter ad vance for the best samples. Of Oats the country supply was large : the finest qualities met a ready sale at a trifle lower; but the inferior samples were extremely dull, at a decline of 2s. per quarter. Much of the Foreign Barley proving of good malting quality, has caused a better de mand for our own produce, and sales have been more ready this week, but with little improvement on late pri ce s. Malt very dull. Only the finest Rye at all saleable. No thing doing in Beans or Pease. GROUSE SHOoTING.--On Saturday last, a msn named Joseph Warhurst was fined before S. P. Humphreys, Esq. in the mitigated penalty of 10/. for having killed a red grouse on the moors belonging to Admiral Tollemache, in Tintwistle, on the 3(1 inst., bring after the time limited by the Act. —Maerlesfeld Courier.

RAIN AND SNow.—The old Joe Miller jest of the shepherd boy who was asked by a traveller whether it always rained in Scotland, replied—" Na, Sir, it sometimes snaws,"—has been partly verified this season at Islay in Argyleshire. Up to the 10th instant theme had been constant rain in the Islands for above two months, which has now given place to frost and snow. Archdeacon Wrangham has refused to comply with a requisition of the clergy of the East Riding of Yorkshire, for a meeting of their body to petition against the Catholic Claims.— Carlisle Journal. Several Irishmen have been apprehended in Sandgate, Newcastle, for passing counterfeit silver. This trade has been carried nn to a considerable extent in New castle for some months.—Durham Chronicle. Since the last fishing season, there have been 22 cargoes, containing 12,653 hogsheads of pilchards ex ported from St. Ives ; besides about 1000 hogsheads sent over land to be exported from Penzance, and nearly 2000 hogsheads sold fresh to persons in the neighbourhood, mak ing in the whole upwards of 14,500 hogsheads taken by the St. Ives fishermen; a greater quantity than was ever before taken there in one season.—Cornwall Gazette. On Monday morning, the 19th inst., a youth about sixteen years of age, named Brown, belonging to North Shields, went out, as he said, to amuse himself on the ice ; but not returning, his parents became greatly dis tressed, supposing lie was drowned. On Thursday a letter was received from Berwick, wherein he confesses his mo tive for going away was to see the murderer Burke hanged. It is imagined this strong desire originated from a supposi tion that Burke is the person who attempted, about two years ago, to steal the body of his sister, whilst lying a corpse, but was frustrated.— Tyne Mercury. A marriage lately took place in a village not far from this city, under what is considered rather singular circumstances. The bride and bridegroom were pretty far advanced in life; and their marriage banns had been previously proclaimed about 30 years ago; but the friends of the bride unhappily at that time interfered, and the marriage was stopped. Things remained in this state a considerable time, till at last one of the party got married ; and the other was not long in taking the hint, and " doing likewise." After a number of years had passed away, the former bridegroom became a widower, and the former bride a widew. As time had not been able to extinguish their affection for each other, and as there were now no parents to interfere, and again retard the solemn ceremony, it was at once agreed that they should be united firm and fast is the holy bands of wedlock, which ceremony was gone through a few week, ago with all due form.— Glasgow Chronisls, OPENING OF THE OPERA-HOUSE. " LA DONNA DEL LAGO." The musk-loving portion of the community enjoyed a richer feast upon this occasion than years of its previous records can furnish, in the way of vocal perfection. PISA RONI is avowedly the most accomplished mezzo soprano that ever trod the boards of this splendid theatre. The singular bursts of enthusiastic admiration which she drew from her delighted aoditocy, upon her first appearance on Saturday night, were such as to convince the heart and judgment that she is decidedly the greatest artiste of the day ; and, when it is considered that no adventitious aids, in the way of personal attractions, lead the mind to form an estimate of her professional qualifications, through the medium of exterior beauty (a circumstance, most per sons will admit, that is more or less favourable to the vo calist happy enough to be in possession of them), we are lost in astonishment at the sensations her energetic display, both in her singing and acting, creates in the mind of the beholder. We say beholder—fur, in spite of a very diminutive person, and of an unprepossessing countenance, her earnestness (which, at times, is as ter rible as that of the late JOHN KEMPLE, or KEAN, in his best day), carries her auditors' feelings along with it.— In tenderness, too, she is equally perfection ! some mor ceaus of her declamation, upon Saturday night, and of her appeals to the softer emotions of the mind, were absolutely electrical. Ere long, we shall devote a few observations to the peculiar manner, as well as beauties of the stile she so felicitously embodies, combining, as it does, the most satisfying enunciation, united to a clear, decided, and most masterly comprehension of her author's meaning. Mademoiselle MONTICELLI is, as we before remarked, a pretty woman, end more than a pretty singer ; she in dicated much talent, and very considerable judgment, in her personation of the heroine, Ellen. But the next re markable feature of the performance was the Signor DONL:ELLI ; his vocal organ is of the most magnificent kind that we suppose tenor singer ever yet exhibited. Of prodigious power—yet, with that power, possessing qua lity, flexibility, and the most minutely perfect intona tion. But what even is the possession of so many enviable qualities, were they not supported and chas tened by the judgment ? which Signor DONZELLI appears to be no less remarkable for. His opening scena afforded ample proofs of this rare combination, for we were utterly at a loss to determine which of the passions he most ex celled in. He was loudly and rapturously encored, as well as PISARONI, not only in the several arias, but in the morceaus ensemble; and at the conclusion of the opera the three debutantes were loudly called for, and were ulti mately led on the stage by CurtioNt, to receive the reiterated acclamations of sincere and grateful applause from an auditory, in a large degree professional, and com posed of numerous well-known cognoscenti. CERIONI was received, upon his entree, with much applause, and he acquitted himself with his usual judgment, although labouring against a little cold. The Ballet "La Som • nambule," which is highly popular in Paris, was produced upon this occasion ; and, though of greater duration than we are inclined to admire, never flagged one moment i❑ interest, from the commencement to its close. COULON is a most delicious artiste; and our young friend Num NE LEROUX returns to us three years' riper in years, and at least fifty in judgment and talent. The music of this charming Ballet is above the common order,—very gay, and at times admirably expressive of the passing events of the interesting tale it materially assists to tell. It is interspersed with solos, in alternation and combine- tion : as clarionet (which was beautifully given by Mr. WILLIAMS, WILLMAN'S successor), Mons. TOLBECQ on the violin, and a violoncello, solo, by a gentleman whose name we are sorry that we cannot now record having forgotten it; but, as we have touched upon certain in dividuals who gave token of great talent upon their se veral instruments, we must be excused for extending our observation towards the orchestra generally, more espe cially as it appears to have been the general theme of discussion in the musical world. The facts are simple, and susceptible of brief disclosure.— Certain talented individuals of the late seasons orchestra, are so overwhelmed with professional engagements at one period of the season, as to render a full attendance at the necessary rehearsals of the operas on their parts absolutely impossible. The present lessee, Mr. LAPORTE, fancies that the mere rapid production of novelty is indispensible to the greater gratification of the public, as also more pro ductive to his own interests. He therefore stipulates for such and such terms with the future members of his or chestra, which are rejected with scorn, and some in dignation ! The first feeling every man is as much at liberty to make use of as Mr. LAPORTE is to extend his offers. But even-handed justice is at open war with the latter feeling, when it is supposed to lead to efforts approxi mating to violent coercion. An attempt was made upon Saturday night, as soon as the orchestra commenced the opera, to stifle its efforts by a row. When, however, it was heard, it gave convincing proof that it was fully com petent to perform the arduous task allotted to it upon this occasion ; thus affording another memorable fact, that the frequent collision of the members of a numerous orchestra is often (nay most frequently), more essential to complete and good effect, than its being in possession of great names, whose numerous engagements elsewhere absolutely forbid the indispensable attendance requisite for the perfect illustration of a complicated Opera. We have no hesitation in declaring, that it never was given so smoothly, or with more decided effect, and strict atten tion to the " ensemble," than upon the present occasion. In this opinion we are supported by those whose judgments, being free from controversial bias, we are yet more in clined to respect. The rehearsals (we before remarked) had been frequent, and of long duration—and, the final results of the musical director's tact in these matters is now too well known to require our commendation ; awl facts speak sufficiently for themselves—the talented sod energetic Motu led the Band, in SPAGNOLETTI'S absence,—he appeared to have embibed all the minutest intentions of Rossttil'S clever opera, and by his undeviating attention to the " chiera oscura" of the picture, was en abled to produce several beautiful effects, quite new to us— amongst the principals we were pleased to recognize several old friends, foremost in the list, the inimitable DRAGO• NETT', himself a host. Lord Francis Leveson Gower, Secretary of State for Ireland, arrived in town at a late hour on Friday night from Dublin, in order to be present at the meeting of Parliament. His Lordship had An interview on Satur day both with the Duke of Wellington and with Mr. Se cretary Feel.

Lady Byron was last week in the vieln,;ty of Windsor, making inquiries for a house, from which cirCuni. stance it may be presumed that her Ladyship ; intends shortly to take up her residence in : that neighbourhood.

The .tinxiety to wee the body was very great. A prodirjc,v,a crowd. collected at an early hour in the foreno,n, and besieged the class-roam door, eager to zair - 1 admission, and it was with difficulty the regular students could obtain access although a strong party of police was present to preserve order. The lecture was very long ; and about two o'clock the crowd outside ma nifested signs of impatience at the delay, and proceeded to evince their disapprobation by throwing stones and t,n.-.avy balls at the police. Not satisfied with this di;pay of in- dignation, they next dircctcd their venf4 . e:ince against the windows of that quarter of thu CVilege in which the lec ture.rooin is situated, 'll;'ne police, who had, we believe, by this timeLac:ni reinforced, made an attempt to repel the crowd.

This lady, who during the last twenty-five years has altered in her names Fanny to Frances, and Antonine to Antonina, and assumed the title of Baroness le Despencer, was the Mrs. Lee of camphor bag notoriety, and for whose abduction Loudoun and Lockhart Gordon were tried and acquitted, at the Oxford Assizes in 1804. Judge Lawrence pre sided at the trial, and on her admitting, among cir cumstanees too gross to relate, that on the Uxbridge road she drew frotn her bosom a gold locket contain ing a camphor-bag, exclaiming, " This has hitherto preserved my virtue !" threw it away, and added, " Now, welcome pleasure," stopped the trial, and directed the Jury to acquit the prisoners, at the same time censuring their conduct as disgraceful in the extreme. Mrs. Lee was a lady of ample fortune, and of ac complished but eccentric manners. Of late years she was of a suspicious disposition, disliking much the company of her own sex; she was also of a vi sionary turn, of which foible the Gordons availed themselves, as will be seen by the following letters, intended to have been produced at their trial : Jan. 12, 1804.

MATCHES' ER CORN MARKET.-.Ln. 31. Since this day week the Corn trade has been quite life less ; and to this day's market we had a very small atten dance of country millers or dealers in Corn. There was likewise a short supply of English Wheat ; the finest sam ples are in limited request at the prices of this day week ; all other sorts are offered on lower terms. Grinding Bar ley is dull sale.: Oats are in better request, but not dearer. There is a limited demand for Boiling Pease. Old Beans are full ls. per quarter lower, as fine New have a decided preference with the consumers. There has been so great a falling off in the consumption of 11.! alt that in this arti cle there is scarcely any thing doing. Fine Flour barely supports last week's prices.

This is partly owing to the season of the year, and partly perhaps to the near approach of the long antici pated change i❑ the currency, which induces both manu facturers and retail dealers to avoid burthening themselves with stocks. Notwithstanding this depression, the prevail ing opinion is that trade will revive early in the spring, and this expectation is encouraged by the fact that British woollens are successfully competing, even in cheapness, with thelmanufactures of Flanders and Germany,—Leeds Mercury. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE. On Sunday lasts hawker of earthenware, named John Burton, with three others in the same line, went into the park of Sir Humphrey Davy, Bart. in the parish of Sandford, near Crediton, to slide on a pond that was frozen over, and where three boys were similarly amusing themselves. The men were accompanied by a dog, and they had not been there long, when the gamekeeper of Sir 11. Davy approach ed them, armed with a double-barrel gun, and after a slight altercation threatened to shoot the dog if it was not immediately taken away. One of the men in the most civil manner proceeded to remove the dog. Some words were exchanged between Burton and the gamekeeper, in which the latter charged the former with being a trespasser, which was -re torted by Burton's pulling out a penny from his pocket, saying it was all the money he had, and he:would pay that for the trespass. The provoca tion, slight as it was, threw the gamekeeper into a passion, when he - the man for a rascal, and threatened, if he did not immediately leave the grounds, he would knock his brains out. In order to obey the mandate, Burto❑ retreated towards a wall, at the distance of about three feet high on the side nearest the ground, and about eight or nine feet above the road. The gamekeeper followed hirn,arid in his progress removed the stock of the gun from the barrels, arid threw the former on the ground, and while Burton was in the act of letting himself down on the outside of the wall, the gamekeeper struck him a most violent blow with the barrels just behind the ear, which fractured the skull in a most dreadful manner, the brains protruding through the wound, and the unfortunate man dropped lifeless into the road. A coroner's inquest was held on the body, at Long Barn, on Tuesday, before James Partridge, Esq. coroner, and a most respectable jury. The three men and the three boys were separately examined out of hearing of each other, and the particulars were given by each in the clearest manner, and with out the slightest variation, except that the boys did not hear the threat made by the gamekeeper to knock the deceased's brains out. A verdict of man slaughter was returned! The deceased is about 24 years of age, and has left a wife and one child. The gamekeeper has nine children, and his wife on the eve of her confinement with her tenth. Sir IL Davy gave his servant an excellent character, and in his general conduct he has always been considered a kind, though a passionate man.— Western Times. FORCE OF IMAGINATION. Yesterday morning about three o'clock, the in habitants of the upper part of West -street, Smith field, close to the market, were aroused from their beds by loud and piteous cries of " murder," and entreaties for help. Several persons ran into the street, and some watchmen hastened to the spot, and it was discovered that the cries proceeded from some part of the house of a Mr. Miles, who keeps a wholesale patten warehouse in that street ; but nil one was to be seen, although the cries were evidently uttered by some person whose head at least was ou the outside of the walls. Mr. Miles was also roused, and immediately conjectured that something strange had occurred to some of his lodgers, who are per sons in the habit of frequenting Smithfield market, and take up their abode in his house for a night or two, when business renders a stay in town necessary. He proceeded up stairs to the second floor, and open ing the door of a room in which a respectable grazier from Barnet had retired to rest in his perfect senses on the previous evening, he was astonished to find him absent, and his clothes still remaining on a chair, and his surprise was increased, when, on inspecting the room, he perceived a large hole in the wall, near the ceiling. The cries still continuer], and Mr. Miles bethought him of a window on the next story, commanding a view of the roof, and on going there, and opening it, he saw the grazier,with nothing on but his shirt, sitting upon the tiles, throwing his arms about, and moaning, and occa sionally bursting out into exclamations of " Mur der !—oh, God, help me ! will no one save me from their clutches 2-oh, help, help! pray help !" Mr. Miles was dreadfully alarmed; for it might be said that the life of the grazier depended on a straw—the least slip must have sent him headlong from the slop ing roof to the street, a height of about 36 feet, and his destruction in that case was certain. Mr. Miles spoke to him in a mild and kindly tone, and en treated him either to remain still until assist ance could be brought to him, or to endeavour to return to the place from which he had made his way out. At the first sound of Mr. Miles's voice, the grazier redoubled his cries, and called out, " Here they are ! 0 save me !" In a few moments, however, he seemed calmer; and at length, to the great joy of Mr. Miles, he com menced crawling up the tiles, and disappeared through a hole in the roof. Mr. Miles then returned, to his eccentric lodger's room, and in a few moments he crawled in at the hole in the wall before men tioned. He was shivering with cold, so m.ach so as to be hardly able to speak, and he was so disfi gure d with dust, whitewash, and some bruis es on his-f„,,,, that his most intimate friend would not have known him. When he had perfectly recovered his senses, and had drank some reviving cordial, he accounted for his extraordinary conduct in this way :—He had dreamed that he had gone into a house with a wo. man, was seated before a fire with her, when two zo' ` ,,„ entered the room. A whisperi ng con tuok place between them, and the woman a,a) ,. he die tinetly overheard that he was to be t ardered and. r iment he awoke e about to b e murder acorarrs'etyaletdedtofionmi I t io h s e p b it e a d l. , at A id t so th p i v sm werful was th e itn plaster give way , h e per severed(i)dre,sstilolarit o i r l i e hi c s o m m i n n e l l t ic h e a d t h b eza ti P n _ aga i nst the wall, e an apert ure su ffi c i ent l y l arge g t ot u h n i t m i 1 st l in e l fe..r m P lrie then found hi mse lf on t h e room, m and finding the lath and . situated in a pr o j ect i on o f and he made his wa y on hi s h an d s an d c th e e ffi h n o g u o se f , a , kneeso';i the rafters or joist s , unt il h e f oun d hi s pro gress impeded, and then he put his shoulder to the root and presently made his way th roug h t o tb' situation in which he was found. There wa.% a dealer in hay and straw sleeping in the room ur,der neath, and he was so dreadfully alarmed as to 'oe un able to call out, supposing that thieves had, entered the house. The delusion must have been almost in credibly strong, for the grazier could 'nave got out of the room by the door, which yeas not fastened, haeq he been at all in the poss',lssion of his senses. The tiling was covered with a thin coating of ice, and his escape with life was almost miraculous. The grazier gave the mo4t minute description of the dress and conversation of the i mag i nary consp i rators . against his lie had a large sum of money in his trousers' p oc k et , which he left in th e room , aril it was fortunate for hira that he was in a well-regu hated house, LThring the last three weeks there have been no less than nine Cabinet Councils held at tile Foreigu Office, and three meetings of the Privy Council. The method usually adopted by the Premier, after agreeing on the persons who are to move and second the Address in both Houses of Parliament, is to send each individual a few days before the meeting, and Ep girt. him an outline of the Speech. A fair copy of tiie Speech is not given to him until the evening before Parliament as sembles. By this caution the Premier reserves to himself the power of changing the phraseology and even, matter of the Speech, until nearly the• last moxent.
