Manilius proposed that the lighthouse at Wielingen. which N,vas for imposing a light the duty should be only two derable, that that navigation of the Scheldt was so consi enses of the light duty would be sufficient for the exp centimesaffirming that the house. This amendment was rejected. Articles I. and 11. were passed. to Treasury bonds permitting the Governm to the amount of twenty' octant millions Article 111., ni ant to issue e ab d te meet the expen ses , gave occas i o n for an important on the finances of the country. The Chambers th en a d op t e d Articles 111. and IV. It thus adopted, without a debate, all the articles relative to the regular expense s , w hi c h' amount to 14,88 6 , 000 f. The whole of the budget of w a y s an d means, a nd of the r egular receipts, was vot e d by a ma j or i t y pf 69 to 5. The next subject on the order of th e d a y was the pro ject of law regulating the promotion of the Prinses of the Royal family in the army, which was adopted without a debate, by a majority of 71 to 2. BRUSSELS, DEC. 11.—The Chamber of Representa tives, on its sitting to day, commenced the debate on the project of law for a vote of credit, 2,000,000 francs, which the central section proposed to increase to 2,300,000 francs, for measures relative to the importation of provisions, to the improvement of the linen manufac tures, and for draining and colonising the Campine. A proposal of M. Orban, to separate from this project of law the sum of 500,000 francs, for facilitating the drain ing, &c., of the Campine, was the first subject of debate, in which the Minister of the Interior, and several other Members took part, when Mr. Orban's proposal, with some modification, was agreed to. It was expected that the discussion of the project of law would proceed, when a motion by M. Osy gave occasion to a long and angry debate. AL Osy asked the Minister of the Interior if he approved of a letter of the Governor of East Flanders, which treats of the speculation of the merchants, which might cause the prices of corn to rise. M. Osy calls this letter an offence to the honour of the merchants, and affirms that the writer was clearly animated by matevolence and ill will. The Minister of the Interior said that, in his opi [non, there was nothing offensive in the letter to the merchants ; that in pointing out the danger of specula tion, and the frauds which might be committed to the prejudice o f the consumer, he thought the publication of this letter might be of service in preventing cu!pabh fraui. After a short reply of M. Desmaisieres, who refuted the imputations of M. Osy, and observed that he had expressed precisely the same opinion as the Governor of the Province of Antwerp. The debate became still more animated, Messrs. Loos, Roget, Verhaegen, vehemently defended the insulted honour, though the Government declared that nothing of the kind was in tended. M. Verhaegen even went so far as to ask whether it would not be possible to bring an action for calumny against the author of the letter, written in June, and which the Government had not published till De cember. M. Verhaegen even said that the letter had been published solely with the view to excite the people to plunder the corn merchants. The best answer to all these declarations was that of M. Molou—the letter could not do any harm, but this debate might do much. At length, after some further discussion, the Chamber came to the real subject of the order of the day. The Bishop of Newfount•land had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday at the Colonial-office. GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL. The trial of Captain James Bull, of her Majesty's 57th Regiment, by a general court-martial, commenced at Chatham barracks on Thursday, and was continued on Monday, the court each day being filled by officers of the garrison, and a number of civilians connected with the town. At the commencement of the proceedings on Thurs day, Captain Bull pleaded guilty to the charge preferred against him, but not to the prejudice of good order and military discipline. The prosecutor, Major Thomas Shadforth, previous to his evidence being taken, expressed to the Court the great regret with which he appeared against Captain Bull, who, he must acknowledge, had proved himself a good officer, and observed that he had been prompted to pursue the course he had taken only by a sense of public duty and a regard to the good of the service. The Major was then sworn, and stated in evidence, that he had come home with the head-quarters of the 57th Regiment from India. That on the 9th of July, 1846, they were lying at Sim en's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on board the barque Mary Ann ; that about midnight of that day Capt. Bull came to witness's cabin-door, and said, "Major Shadforth, Mr. Allen, the master of the ship, has reported to me that you came on board the ship in a state of intoxication, and I think it my duty to order you under arrest." Witness , had then been in bed upwards of an h our. On the follow • ing morning he went to the poop of the ship, when the prisorer came up to him and asked if he was aware that he had last night been ordered into arrest by him? Witness replied, " Yes; and it was a d— piece of im pertinence on your part, as you want to assume the com mand of the regiment." On this the prisoner went away, and witness, calling to the acting adjutant, Lieutenant Grant, desired him to send for the regimental pass-order book, and to insert therein that he wished to meet the whole of the officers at ten o'clock A.M. of that day. Lieutenant Grant refused to obey his orders; and witness, on leaving the poop, said in a loud tone to Cap tain Bull that his positive orders were that no officers of the regiment should leave the ship without his leave. Witness afterwards directed the Sergeant-Major of the regiment to insert the order in the pass-bnerfor a meet ing of all the officers at ten o'clock. After breakfast Captain Stanley reported to him in writing that ho had been placed in arrest by order of Captain Bull, and wit ness then found that the prisoner had left the ship, in disobedience of the orders which he had issued. Cap Lain Bull remained absent till the next morning (the 11th), although he was detailed in the orders of the day of the 10th to take his regular turn of duty as captain of the day. The prisoner was here about to cross-exatr ine the witness, but was told by the president that it was usual for the Court to put their questions first. To this Cap tain Bull demurred, and the Court was cleared; and on its being reopened, the president announced that it had been decided that the questions of the Court should be put first. In answer to various questions put by members of the Court, Major Shadforth stated that no meeting of the officers of the regiment took .place, as he had ordered, on the morning of the 10th, in consequence of the absence of the prisoner and the acting adjutant, Lieutenant Grant. It was his intention to caution the prisoner officially as to his conduct at the meeting, if it had taken place, but the absence of the prisoner prevented him. Witness most decidedly did not relinquish the command of the regiment in consequence of the pri soner having placed him in arrest. It was his intention, after pointing out to the prisoner his unjustifiable con duct, to have placed him in arrest, but he was prevented doing so on account of his absence from the vessel. In answer to a question as to what course he adopted to wards the prisoner on his return to the vessel (a question which the Major at first declined to answer, as leading to other matters already investigated), he stated that Captain Bull, on his return, brought a letter from tne acting Town-Major at Cape Town, desiring him (the witness), by order of the Commandant, to consider him self in arrest, 'in consequence of a charge preferred against him by Captain Bull, till a court of inquiry should assemble to investigate the matter; that, in con sequence of this, he took no steps against Captain Bull till after the proceedings of the court of inquiry on him self, when, in consequence of orders contained in a letter from the acting Town-Major at Cape Town, he placed Captain Bull in arrest: It was usual, in the 57th Regi ment, for officers to sign pass-orders. On cross-examination by the prisoner, Major Shad forth stated that he had received, on the 11th of July, another letter from the prisoner, besides that which he had referred to and handed in ; but he could not say where it was, or whether it went with his other papers to the Adjutant-General. On the night on which pri soner ordered him into arrest witness did not deny that he was drunk, or remonstrate with prisoner. He de sired him to go to his bed. He could not say what officer was with prisoner on that occasion, as his cabin door was but partially open. He believed that the ab sence of the prisoner from the ship was occasioned by his having gone to Cape Town to report to the senior officer in command what bad occurred on board on the night of the 9th. By the COURT—There was no light in witness's cabin on the night in question. Witness did not report Capt. Bull's absence from the ship to the military authorities at the Cape. He considered he had no right to do so, having the command of the regiment ; besides, he was in Simon's Bay, upwards of 30 miles from Cape Town. Captain Edward Stanley, of the 57th Regiment, swore to his being placed in arrest on the night of the 9th of July by Lieutenant Grant, because he would not leave his cabin at twelve o'clock at night to be a party to what he considered a most irregular proceeding, viz., assist' , ing, by his presence, Captain Bull to assume the corn mend of the regiment. Captain Bull was detailed, in the regimental orders, as the captain of the day for the the 10th; but he that day left the ship, and did not re turn till the following morning, when he told witness he had been to Cape Town, and had orders to place him in arrest. Lieutenant Grant told him that he had been desired by Captain Bull to order his attendance in the caddy, but witness refused; and he was then told that he was ordered by Captain Bull to place him in arrest. Witness had previously told Captain Bull that he would get no assistance from him in what he intended to do, as he would be no party to taking his commanding officer out of his cabin to see if he was drunk. He could not conceive the slightest reason for Captain Bull's inter ference with Major Shadforth's authority. Assistant-Surgeon Jackson spoke to the fact of Cap tain Bull having gone to Major Shadforth's cabin, as already described, on the night of the 9th, and the cap tain's absence from the ship next day. The Court adjourned at 4 o'clock. Yesterday the Court opened at 10 o'clock, when the assistant-surgeon was again called, and stated that Captain Bull was near enough on the 10th to hear Major Shadforth's order that no officer should leave the ship. Captain Stanley was also recalled, and stated that Captain Bull bad placed Lieutenants Hunt and Logan under arrest because he thought them drunk. One of them, to witness's own knowledge, was sober, and the other was only a little noisy. _ _ Sergeant-Major Jones deposed that on the morning of the 10th of July he received instructions from Lieut. and Adjutant Grant to receive all orders from Captain Bull, and to report to him accordingly. Afterwards went with the Adjutant to Captain Stanley's cabin, when the latter was placed in arrest by Captain Bull's orders. Witness further corroborated previous witnesses as to what passed on deck next morning. On Captain Bull's return to the ship, he published in his regimental orders a garrison order from Cape Town, directing a court of inquiry ; he also directed a regimental order for a court of inquiry on a private to be held the same day ; the regimental order of Captain Bull was afterwards can celled by Major Shadforth on his resuming the command of the detachment. Witness further spoke to the pass order book not being signed by Captain Bull. Private James Marlystes, who was orderly on the 10th of July, took the pass-order book to Captain Bull for his signature, but ho refused, saying he had nothing to do with the orders. This closed the case for the prosecution. swore that the T ti r i n e commander was standing on the starboard side bp,rrigsouneelvicaarlyle A d n M n r ;w A ho .

In answer to questions put by the able, prosecutor,f t r h o e m w th : e ness said he had never complained of danger to the ship from the lights before the night in question. He did not see any light in Major Shadforth's cabin when Cap tain Bull went to it. The prosecutor had on that day, the 9th of July, reported that the barque Mary Ann was not in a fit state to proceed to sea. By the COURT—AII that he requested of Captain Bull was to see that the lights were put out. Could not say that the lights which he saw below were in the cabin of Messrs. Hunt and Logan. The steps taken by Captain Bull removed all apprehension of danger from his mind, as the light was extinguished in Mr. Hunt and Mr. Logan's cabin. [Here the Court remarked that it could not understand the evidence of the witness on this point, it was so very contradictory. There was no alternative, however, but to take it.] The witness considered that Nlajor Shadforth was in an unfit state to be called on for the assistance which he required, on account of his intoxication. It was a dark night when Major Shad forth came on board and fell. He could not exactly swear that his fall was caused by drunkenness but, to ihe best of his belief, it was. Was not aware that there was anything on deck over which the Major might pos sibly have tripped, but there might have been such a thing. Did not see any one assist the Major to rise, and cannot recollect whether there was any motion of the vessel on the occasion, or whether the deck was in a slippery stets. Witness did not go to Major Shadforth's cabin to see what condition he was in before he went to Captain Bull; and he did not notice in the ship's log the fact of the Major's intoxication. It being four o'clock, the Court adjourned. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 1 s.—Charles Holden, able seaman, of the Vengeance, 84, who fell off the maintopsail-yard, in furling sails yesterday, is going on favourably under the judicious treatment of the medical officers of the ship. 'When in the Retribution he had fallen out of the foretop, but received but little injury. Notwithstanding the Vengeance has no lower deck guns, or stores for such guns on board, nor a full complement of men, tome wiseacre fancies she draws too much water to go out of this harbour, and accordingly the crew have set to work to-day, after dinner, to pump the water out of the tanks, in the endeavour to lighten her to the draft of the sup posed depth of water on the bar. The Penelope steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, has got her complement, and will drop out to Spithead in a few days. In consequence of the " ragged regiments" which have recently been so numerously sent, from va rious parts, for the purpose of manning the ships in commission, and Captain Giffard having been supplied with a sorry lot, he represented the case to the Corn mander-in-Chief, setting forth the inefficiency of his ship's company; th e result was, that a survey was or• 'lered to be held to d eterm i ne whether the men com plained of were fit for sea service or not; accordingly, this day, Captains Pasco, of the Victory; Lushington, of the Vengeance; and Lapidge, of the Cyclops; and Surgeons Acheson, of the Victory k.Verling, of the Ve ngeance; and Willfiams, of the Cyclops, assembled on board the Penelope, and made an investigation or exa mination of the ship's company, who, in the opinion- of the surveyors, were fit and able men for the service for which they had entered, and would be fonnd useful and good hands after a little drill and practice in the neces sary manual exercises. The Mercury tender, and Duck and Goodwill navy lighters, sailed to-day, the former for Poole and Wey mouth, to obtain volunteers for the navy; the second with stores for Plymouth; and the latter for the eastern yards with stores. WOOLWICH, DEC. 15.—The Centaur steam-frigate, having taken on board a sufficient quantity of coals yesterday morning, went down the river on a short experimental trip, and when she had her full steam up to try her speed at the measured mile, in Long-reach, the wheelr6pe broke, and she came in contact with a collier, carrying away her own bowsprit and the head of her figure, and the jib-boom of the collier. The Centaur returned to Woolwich, and will leave to morrow (this day) for Portsmouth, to be fitted for sea. The Amphion steam-frigate, Capt. Williams, is ordered to be fitted with one of Porter's anchors, of 52 cwt., and it has been tested, and is now ready to b e p u t on b oa rd. The Amphion is nearly ready for sea. The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, is hourly expected at Woolwich. It has been supposed by some that engines of 800-horse power arc too large for vessels of the size of the Terrible, but they are small in com parison with two powerful engines of 600-horse power each, constructed at New York for a vessel to be named the George Washington, nearly the size of the Great Western, and intended for the conveyance of the United States' mail between Bremen and New York vici Cowes. The George Washington is also intended for naval service in case of necessity; and her contractors antici pate being able to attain a rate of speed which will reduce the average term of the passage in steamers between England and New York to twelve days. The Southerner, a fine New York built steam-ship, employed in the coasting trade, has accomplished results which seem to warrant the expectations of the builders of the George Washington. THE EAST INDIA COLLEGE AT HAILEYBURY. Yesterday (Tuesday) being the day appointed for closing the second term of 1846, a deputation from the Court of Directors of the East India Company visited the college, for the purpose of receiving the report of the Principal upon the literature and discipline of the term, and of distributing the medals and prizes awarded to the successful competitors in the various branches of Oriental, classical, and European literature. The depu tation consisted of the following members of the Court: —Chairman, Sir J. W. Hogg, Bart., M.P.; Deputy- Chairman, Henry St. George Tucker, Esq.; Lieutenant- General Sir J. Law Lushington, G.C.8., Lieutenant- Colonel W. 11. Sykes, John Cotton, Esq, W. H. C. Plowden, Esq., E. Ilacnaghten, Esq., J. C. White man, Esq. The deputation, on their arrival, proceeded to the principal lodge, and thence to the council-room, where the Principal's report was presented to them. The de putation and the professors then proceeded to the hall, whcro the students had already assembled. The chair was taken by Sir J. W. Hogg, Bart., M.P., who was supported on either side by the members of the de putation. Amongst the visitors we observed Sir Robert Cunliffe, Bart., Major Cuppage, R.A., Charles H. C. Plowden, Esq., Captain Burford, C o l one l T a) l o r, Colonel Diekin eon, Bombay Enginers, &c. The following civilians at home were also present:—Robert IL S. Campbell, Esq., J. H. CraigiQ, Esq., Arth ur H a thaway, Esq., A. Purvis, Esq., Mosley Smith, Esq., C. Fraser, Esq., James David son, Esq., Robert M. Bird, Esq., &c. The Chairman having taken his seat, Mr. HOOPER, the clerk of the college department, read the following report of the prizes and distinctions ob tained by the students : MEDALS, PRIZES, AND OTHER HONOURABLE DISTINC TIONS OF STUDENTS LEAVING COLLEGE, DECEMBER, 1846.

The business of the day haring been concluded, the deputation and friends returned by special t r ain to town. IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, DEC. 14.—The weekly meeting of the Asso ciation, held this day, was very numerously attended. Amongst the more prominent leaders of the movement present were Mr. O'Connell, M.P., N. Maher, M.P., Rev. Mr. Tierney, J. M. Mac Donnell, M.P., J. O'Con nell, M.P., E. Clements (barrister), R. A. Fitzgerald, On the motion of Mr. O'CoNNELL, the chair was taken by Nicholas Maher, M.P. for Tipperary. The CHAIRMAN said he had intended to have alluded to some of the proceedings connected with Young Ire landism in the county of Tipperary, and to have cor rected some errors which had crept into the press with regard to that county, but as there was a shadow of hope that a reconciliation might take place with Young Ireland, he should not then discuss them. The Secretary having read the minutes of the last day's proceedings, Mr. O'CoNNELL handed in a number of remittances, including 51., the renewed subscription of the Hon. Cecil Lawless. Mr. STEELE, at the - request of Mr. O'Connell, read a letter from Mr. Doheney, barrister, a leading member of the Young Ireland party, apologising fur some ex pressions he made use of at the recent meeting of the "leaders" at the Rotundo, reflecting on Mr. O'Connell. Mr. O'CoNNELL could assure Mr. Doheney that the expressions he referred to did not hurt his (Mr. O'Con nell's) feelings. If his feelings- were to be hurt by the abuse which was so constantly heaped upon him, he did not imagine that he would then be in existence.— (Laughter.) He was glad Mr. Doheney bad written that letter, for his sake as well as his own. He forgave him, not as a Christian, which Sir Walter Scott said meant not at all, but he forgave him as a man, and as he hoped to be forgiven hinaself.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CLEMxNTS read the following letter, addressed to the secretary of the association : " Blackball- street, Dec. 14. " Sir,—ln enclosing 51. as a renewal of my subscription to the association, I can hardly refrain from expressing how cordially I agree with those who would have a re conciliation with the party that has seceded. I would also hope that the nick-names of Young Ireland,' and 'Old Ireland,' may be buried deep in the shades below,' and that the common brotherhood of being Repealers shall be a sufficient distinction for all parties in future. After the breach is made good, I, for one , won't be sorry at its having occurred, as it certainly has placed the moral force principles much more clearly before the mind of the country—indeed I might say of the world. " I humbly implore of the association, the only public political body in existence in Ireland, to lose no time in addressing the Government to open the Irish ports. " This is December, not July—the country has eight long months to struggle through before next harvest. Wheat is already at 435. per barrel, oats 225.• there is an immense diminution in the usual supply of eggs— poultry must follow—bacon can only be produced by the gentry for their own private consumption—beef and mutton must be substituted for these commodities, each doubtless shall run up to very high rates; the winter too is coming in severely, which must check out door labour. The Government will hardly refuse to give an additional impetus to the importation of foreign wheat into Ireland, particularly as last session its members would have sup ported Sir Robert Peel In a like measure, when the cause for their doing so did not bear a fiftieth part of the pre sent emergency. Lord George Bentinck's party also declared in favour of a measure of the kind last session. The road is clear, the Government have the will to do, let them act then in the name of God. " I trust this subject will meet with that consideration from the Association which its importance deserves.— I have the honour to be,- sir, your very humble and obe dient servant, " ROBERT METCALF. " To T. M. Ray, Esq." Mr. O'CowsenLL then rose to address the - Association. He considered that on the last day of meeting he had accurately pictured the horrible state of destitution to which the country was reduced; but it appeared that they had not as yet reached the acme of the calamity.—(Hear.) Snow and frost had set in, and the evils of the country were consequently aggravated tenfold. It was horrible to think of the contents of the communications from the province of Connaught. Forty-eight deaths had already taken place from starvation in that portion of the island. About one hundred and thirteen letters had been received detailing these horrible facts. The deaths to which he alluded could not.be imputed to any other cause but starvation, the results of the coroner's in quests exhibited but too true a verification of the fact. It was with the deepest regret that he was obliged to announce that the mercantile classes had as yet done nothing. The cities and great towns had riot as yet met to take means to provide for the safety of their in habitants. He hoped the hint he felt it his duty to throw out would not be lost, and particularly so when it was considered that many houses had already amassed large fortunes by the famine.—(Hear, hear.) He would call upon them, in the name of the forty-eight murdered human beings who had already fallen .victims to starva tion, to discharge the duties which their stations and means necessarily imposed upon them.—(Hear, hear.) The Times might sneer and laugh at him (Mr. O'Con nell), but, he asked, would it sneer at the sacrifice of forty ight lives? That it would sneer at th e f ac t h e should not be surprised; such conduct would be quite suited to the spirit by which that infamous journal was actuated.—(Hear.) He (Mr. O'Connell) would have to attend on this day, when he left the association, a pre paratory meeting of the landed proprietors of Ireland, and he trusted that their deliberations would be confined to the real question at issue, the condition of the coun try, and these gentlemen would not allow their judg ment to be carried away by their feelings to make any attack on the Government.—(Hear, hear.) This morning an account had come to hand which stated that an application having been made to an absentee landlord who derived a large income from this country, for some assistance to relieve his tenantry, and that in dividual had sent but 31. for the purpose.—(Name, name). He would not mention his name as yet, but the moment he ascertained that the fact was correct he would not hesitate to do so.—(Cheers). Ile would submit to the association a letter which he had received from the Right Rev. Dr. Colne on :the condition of the country, and which was well worthy of consideration : " Loughrea, Dec. 12, 1846. "My dear Mr. O'Connell,—As you always feel the deepest interest in promoting the welfare of Ireland, and are most anxious to alleviate not only the heart-rending calamities with which its inhabitants are at present visited, but also to prevent the recurrence of similar visitations hereafter, I hope you will excuse the liberty I take of submitting to your kind attention a few sug gestions, in hopes that, after being maturely considered by you, they may become the groundwork of a simple and efficacious plan to be submitted to Government, in order to realise so important and happy a consummation. "It appears that vast sums have been already ex• pended, and, it may now be naturally asked, what real advantage has resulted from such an expenditure of pub lic money ? I must in candour declare that, as far as I can perceive, very, very little, short of mere daily employment. Now, the plan which I recommend to remedy this evil would not only afford temporary relief, but also prevent a more alarming consequence, which must inevitably follow if such or some similar system be not speedily adopted by Government before the seed sowing season sets in. "I would divide the inhabitants of each parish into three classes ; the first comprising those who hold twenty acres of land and upwards ; the second those holding from ten to fifteen or upwards ; and the third holding about five acres and upwards. I would then recommend that at relief committee be appointed in each parish, composed of the clergy of each :religious de nomination, and also of a few of the most respectable and intelligent of -their parishioners, whose duty will be to form a list of the destitute therein contained, and recommend them for employment to the Board of Works in the following manner:—To each person comprised in the first class, ten labourers may be as 'signed, and placed under the control of the manager for agricultural or any other useful works he may deem ex pedient, with an obligation of allowing each man one shilling per day ; for each person comprised in the second class, six labourers may be assigned for the aforesaid purposes, and at the same hire, one half to be paid by the employer, the other by Govern ment; those comprised in the third class to have three labOurers assigned as above, they to be paid at the sole expense of the Government. According to this plan, their soil will be duly prepared for all agricultural pur poses, which otherwise will be totally neglected; but it will be of little use to prepare the soil, unless the poor pecple be supplied with seed ; it will therefore be the duty of the managing committee to ascertain, by per sonal inspection, the extent and nature of the soil which each person possesses, so as to be able to calculate pre cisely the quantity of seed which may he requisite, and to furnish Government with a report of the same, in order that a necessary supply at cost price or lower. prices (as the case may . be) be provided with as little delay as possible. " Having thus alluded to an arrangement which will not only give employment to a great number of the des titute, but also make provision for agricultural wants during the approaching spring, should any still remain unemployed they can be placed :under the superiu teridence of the board established for draining, culti vating, and reclaiming waste lands, the expenses of which are to be defrayed by the head landlord, as ex plained by Mr. Labouchere's letter.—l have the honour to remain, my dear Mr. O'Connell, with sentiments of the higheit respect and esteem, your very bumble and obedient servant, " THOMAS COLNE. " Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P." It would be desirable (continued Mr. O'Connell) that the names of the gentry who had come forward to assist and support the - people—it were well that those who had so nobly exerted themselves to alleviate the condition of their suffering fellow-countrymen should be recorded, and likewise that those who had remained backward should likewise figure in an infamous list.—(Hear, hear.) In conclusion the Hon. Gentleman moved that it be re ferred to a committee to ascertain the names of different landed proprietors iu the various counties in Ireland, distinguishing the residents from the absentees, who bad contributed to the relief of th e poor, specifying the names, sums subscribed, and the am ount , as far as it could possibly be asceTtained, of their several rentals. Some subscriptions having been handed in, Mr. O'CO/INELL again rose and said, he wished to make a few oserrations on the present prospect of the affairs of the association. He came there that day anxious for conciliation —anxious to work out conciliatio n and to show to the peopl e o f I re l an d w h o those indivi , duals were that prevented or retarded that conciliation. —(Hear, hear.) There was one magic in politics, and that was to be right, and to put your enemies in the wrong. He had been assailed for making offers of a reconciliation ; and it had been insinuated that he was afraid of Young Ireland—that that party had gained a triumph over him ; but ho thought, and with justice, that the triumph was on his side. He had been told that he had conceeded toe much ; but he had not conceded anything at all. It Ras true he was anxious for a conference ; and, with the view of effecting the object, he held out the olive branch of peace and the right hand of friendship.—(Cheers.) Who, he would ask, should be the first to make an offer of reconciliation? The man who is in the wrong could not certainly do it. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to advert to the secession, and having expressed his anxiety for a recon ciliation, stated to the meeting that he had deputed a most respectable clergyman (the Rev. Dr. Miley) to wait upon Mr. Smith O'Brien, at his seat in the country, for the purpose of inducing that gentleman to accede to the offers of reconciliation that were held out ; but that he had totally failed in his mission. Mr. O'Connell then read to the meeting a letter from Dr. Miley, describing the details of his interview with the Hdnourable Mem ber for Limerick. Mr. O'Connell having commented on the refusal of Mr. O'Brien to accede to the terms pro posed, concluded by saying that his proposition had been hailed throughout the country with acclamation ; that it had received the sanction of every sensible and well-disposed man in Ireland ; and that if his efforts to restore unanimity were not successful, the fault was not his. Alderman O'BRIEN, M.P., Mr. J. O'CoNistELL, and other gentlemen having addressed the meeting, the rent for the week was announced to be 101/. The meeting then adjourned. EMPLOYMENT ON PUBLIC WORKS. The fbllowing is an official return of the persons em ployed in one county, and'a more curious and important return has seldom been published in our columns : " COUNTY 07 LONGFORD-EMPLOYMENT OF THE LA- It:AIRING POOR UNDER THE BOARD OF WORK:,. " Weekly return, ending November 28, 1846, showing the number of men, women, boys, &c., employed in the six baronies of the county of Longford Able-bodied men Infirm ditto Women Boys Artificers 37,002 489 3,030 75 Total persons employed .. .. 40,665 Horses employed ll3 Asses 4,247 Carts 4,373 Number of projects at work The following is the return of the staff of the Board of Works in the county ofLonglord for the same week:— " Inspecting officers, 2; county surveyor, 1; assistant engineers, 6; pay clerks, 6; cheque clerks, 7; overseers, 217: total, 239." The whole official staff, including the overseers of labourers, only amounts to 239, to manage 40,665 la bourers. The most extraordinary fact, in reference to the re turn, is this, that the total population of the county of Longford, according to the census of 1841, was 115,491. Out of this gross population the Board of Works is now giving employment to 40,665, more than one-third of the entire! And still more works are called for. The amount presented at the baronial sessions in the county of Longford was for 45,3721. for roads, &c.; 8,848/. for draining, &c. Total, 54,221/. Of this the amount sanctioned by the Board of Works, up to Nov. 28, was 34,630/. PUGILISTIC CONTEST FOR TWO HUNDRED SOVEREIGNS A-SIDE. CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE LIGHT WEIGHTS. The anxiously-looked-for trial of fistic skill between Johnny Walker, of London, and Samuel Simmonds, of Birmingham, was yesterday brought to issue at Laken ham-heath, a " pastorale in A flat," of some dozen or two square miles in extent, on the borders of fenny. Cambridgeshire, and the vast levels of Suffolk and Nor folk, the mile posts marking 841 miles from Shorediteb. Of the orderly and excellent manner in which the ar rangements for a special train to convey the expectant champions and their patrons to the spot we have not space to speak; suffice it to say that Mildenhall, in Suffolk, at which place a convenient ground had been marked out and cleared of snow, having, by some misunderstanding, been pissed, the three-hundred "specials" alighted at Lakenham, and there, at a little before noon (in the vicinity of an accommodning rick-yard, whence liberal supplies of dry straw were reasonably retailed) the veteran commissary staked out a spacious outer and inner ring. The hitherto unsullied mantle of wintry snow, which clothed the frost-bound field, was soon shovelled and swept away, and all having taken their places—the aristocratic patrons snugly seated around the inner circle, the appointed ring police with outside them,.forming a guard to protect their privileged persons from the intrusion of the rustic and civic " roughs," and the ring reporters, umpires, and referee withinside all, close to the roped quadrangle—Simmons first cast up his cap at 25 minutes past twelve, which signal of defiance was promptly answered from the opposite side by that of the London man. It was observed by the curious in omens that Simmons's cap fell short at the first toss, and required a second exertion to throw it inside the ropes. Walker was esquired by Jem Turner and Wharton (Young Molyneux) ; tho Birmingham hero by Evans " of that ilk" and Harry Broome. In weight there was little disparity, Walker barely drawing gat. 71bs., while Sim monds touched 9st. 941b5., and had the advantage in length of reach and height of stature. Their toilette completed, the men shook hands at thirty minutes after twelve, and immediately commenced offensive and de fensive manoeuvring. The style of Walker, who, con trary to expectation, followed his opponent into his corner, was finished and artistic, his attitude easy, and his motions, as he drew and feinted the provincial cham pion, displayed all the tact and readiness of the sparring professor. Simmonds, on the other hand, though em barrassed and awkward, and evidently puzzled at the " forcing" mode adopted by his skilful antagonist, looked powerful, dangerous, and eager for an opening; no sootier did he perceive what he supposed to be an opportunity than he let go his left, Walker jumped back, and got in his own lett in return ; this he quickly repeated, and finished the round by throwing his man, after lifting him by the waist from the ground. The second and third rounds were similar in character, save that Simmonds onca got Walker uadermost in the close. It was thus early evi dent that Walker could deliver his left hand ad libitum, and that he was too clever to allow Simmonds to make his lunging right; this, of course, soon told its tale, the unfortunate Simmonds became receiver-general, and Walker, determined to carry out his attack, never left him alone, jobbing him repeatedly with the left, until the twelfth round (the longest in the battle), when, after administering repeated visitations, he gathered up his right, and met the rush of Simmonds with such stinging severity, by an up hit, that the latter fell forward, a beaten men. Loud shouts from the London division greeted the triumph of their favourite, on the announce ment of " time" being expired, and Simmonds unable to obey the call. Thirty-one minutes sufficed for this decisive and rapid defeat, from which must be deducted three minutes consumed in an appeal to the referee as to an alleged " foul " in the eighth round on the part of Sim mends, which was overruled. In brief, the Brum. was so decidedly inferior, both at in-figh ting, out-fighting, and throwing, that the battle became from the second round such a one sided affair, that speculation ceased, and the question of whether it would last half an hour or an hour alone was mooted. Shortly after three, two hours having been burnt to waste by the usual lack of punctuality observable on the Eastern Counties line, a steam steed bowled into sight, and both the belligerents, with their joyous or despondent partisans, were safely landed in the great metropolis. Walker, on his arrival, was without scar, scratch, or contusion, so far as his , frontispiece was concerned, but Simmonds's title-page . bore disfiguring proofs of the dexterity with which a the can amppaokientehdis 4ianrgic.parrichee"rainngd was n dadmirably d ic h e i p t e b r y " the order and regularity of the assemblage far exceeded • that commonly seen on less exciting occasions. MR. D. W. HARVEY'S VISIT TO COLCHESTER .—We announced a fortnight slnce that Mr. D. \V. Harvey, who formerly represented the Borough of Colchester in Par liament, contemplated paying a visit to some of his friends, for the purpose of examining the register of voters, and forming his own opinion as to the probable result of a liberal opposition to the present representa tives. We have this week to announce the fact of such visit on Monday and Tuesday last. Mr. Harvey arrived at the Cups Hotel in the afternoon, where he was met . by several gentlemen, and in the evening a few of the. burgesses, whose general knowledge of opinions of the voters can be relied on for its accuracy, assisted him. in his examination of the list. It would not be prudent for us to give precisely the result of the investigation ; but we are warranted in stating that it was extremely encouraging, so much so, that we understand a requi sition is to be set on foot, inviting Mr. Harvey to offer himself as a candidate at the next election. Mr. Harvey is prevented by very stringent rules, imposing heavy penalt►es in case of violation, from taking part in the election of any individual, so long as he holds the situ ation of Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Force. This situation, being of the value of 1,500/. a year, it is not to be expected he will resign it, without such an assurance of support from the great body of the electors as would place his return beyond a doubt.— Ipswich Express.

At the last monthly meeting of the Highland and Agri cultural Society of Scotland, in Edinburgh, Dr. Balfour read a communication 'rat Tussac Grass, 'sentto the so ciety by Colonel Moody, the commandin g officer of the Riyal Engineers in Scotlard, and father of Captain Moody, Governor of the Falkland Islands, to whose exertions the public are indebted for the introduction of that grass from which so much is expected. Colonel Moody referred, to the notice of the Tussac by Bougain ville, who was the first to discover its nu t r i t i ous pro perties, but who did not, so far as he is known, attempt to introduce it into the agriculture of France. It was afterwards described by Cook, under the name of sword grass, and must have been known to Sir Joseph Bunks, who accompanied the circumnavigator. It was again noticed by Captain Henry Foster, in the narra atinvde o n f 3 h o i a y s oy t h a e g e d t a o c f t , h d e is Southern a : r e a T n in usa a n lB G 2B r , a s l a B , 2 a 9 s , -it was afterwards designated by Dr. Hooker, who ac companied the expedition under Sir James Ros Ross. Since that period, Captain Moody has been unremitting in his exertions to bring the subject under the notice of the public, and has repeatedly sent home parcels of the seed fer t r i a l. C o l one l Moody ' s communication mentioned the success with w hi c h some o f t h at see d h a d b een t rie d in deep moss contiguous to the sea, in tine island of Lewis, and referred to certain experiments, the re sult of which was, that cattle in this county eat Tussac with avidity, an d pre f er i t to nat i ve grasses, and that in nutritive m a t ter t h e T ussac i s super i or t o Dr. the Fescue a s, particularly rmentioned s,teu theed thattproportionhis grass in was he Dublin B of about t six to four thriving well in o tanical Garden ; at Barochan Castle, in Renfrewshire ; in Mr. Lawson's n ursery grounds ; and in the Orkney Islands. Mr. Trail!, of Viera had the merit of intro ducing it into the last.locality ; having failed in rais ing the plant from seed, he procured some small specimens from the nur: ery, n hich were planted in the island of Rousay, in peaty soil, under the imrne • diate influence of the sea ; they tripled their size in July and August, and their growth during that period was equal to aix months' progress in the nursery. Dr. Neill said, that from his own experience, he could confirm the fact mentioned ,by Mr. Moore, of the Glas nevin Botanic Garden, that where Tussac plants are scarce, they may readily be multiplied by dividing the tufted roots. In the end of July last he directed his gar dener to Llivide two plants, being average specimens of a number raised from seed sown in March, 1844.• Each plant afforded about fifteen offsets. The offsets of the one were placed in good garden mould, and hive suc ceeded well, promising to make fine tufts against next season. The offsets of the other plants were dibbed into the worst soil which th.e garden afforde4l; a coarse ferru ginous sand, and in this they have not flourished.- The Chairman said, that the thanks of the society, and of the public at large, was due to Captain Moody, the Governor of the Falkland Islands, for the efforts made by him to introduce the Tussac grass into' Great Britain, and that it would be gratifying to him to learn that its culture was now exciting so much interest in the agricul tural world. A MODERN ROMANCE OF THE CONFESSIONAL. A tale which would have served very well as a re miniscence of every day doings in " the good old Ca tholic times" of the 13th or 14th century, but which sounds very strangely in modern ears, has been told to us with corroborative proofs, which leave us in very little doubt as to the accuracy of the whole of the following details, so far as the transactions rarrated as having oc curred in Worcester are concerned. It is said that a few weeks ago a lady of respectable appearance en tered one of the numerous Protestant places of worship with which our city is happily so ornate, and her attention appeared to be rivetted with somewhat of wonder on the service as it proceeded. On re tiring, She remarked to a lady who happened to emerge from the door the same moment with herself, that the prayers which she had just heard were very beautiful, and only wished that the persons who had been engaged in offering them at the footstool of the Deity were in " the true church." Struck with the sin gularity of the remark, the person addressed observed her companion with careful attention. The mark of care and sorrow was on her brow, and she was evidently much depressed in spirits. Being confirmed in her sur mises that she was a Catholic, she replied that perhaps the prayer offerers were in the true church, and it would be well if she would make some investigation - upon fee matter ,for herself. The conversation ended in the lady being earnestly invited to come to the place of worship again, and hear more of the doctrines preached there, in order that she might judge whether they were in accordance with the tenets of Scripture or not. Once and again the lady was observed to attend and take increasing interest in the services performed there. At last she waited upon the minister, and, appa rently, its the greatest anguish of her mind, told him the story of her life. She had, she said, been married to a, respectable person in -, and for some time lived happily with him. He, however, was a Pro testant, and she was a Catholic, and, as all true believers in the directions of the infallible church are supposed to do, she had been a regular at tendant at the confessional Here, however, a guilty passion was fostered in the breasts of both the con fessor and the confessed, which neither the celibate vows of the one nor the marriage vows of the other could restrain. In an hour of weakness and sin, won by his blandishments and seduced by his artifices, she consented to leave her husband and her home to be come the adulterous companion of one who, by the vows of his religion and his office, was bound to per petual chastity. She had now lived with him for some considerable time, but latterly her slumbering conscience had been awakened, and its reproaches had rendered her truly miserable and wretched. In this state of mind it was that she had strayed into the place of wor ship alluded to, and what she had hear.] there had added so much to her misery and pain, leading Ler to see and feel on the borders of distraction, and she could bear it no longer. She could net, she dared not continue to live the life of sin which she felt she had been hitherto spending, and the doctrines she had heard from the minister's lips encouraged her to hope that if she forsook r.wickedness and turned from her evil ways she might even yet have mercy at the hands of Him who had an nounced himself as the God of Love. She expressed her firm determination to continue apart from her seducer, and in a most impassioned manner called upon the minister to lend her his advice and assistance. Her 'story was sifted, and its truth as far as possible ascertained. Her husband was written to, but as he refused to receive again the faithless consort who had injured him, she was placed for _protection in the house of a lady well known for her piety and works of usefulnesss. Her flight, doubtless, caused no little consternation, and two or three days sufficed to trace her to her place of refuge. Every means were adopted to induce her to return, but she remained firm to her purpose, and, as she was much annoyed by the watch kept upon her movements, she was tracked, with an evident determination to procure possession of her person, in order, possibly, that the only scene of her sorrow and expiation might be some seclu sion beyond which the tale of scandal can never pass. Again she shifted her place of concealment, and whether last has been dis Covered or not we do not know.— Worcester Herald. TEM FROST.—The thermometer during the night of Monday stood, at the Royal Humane Society's Re ceiving House, Hyde Park, at 19, being 13 degrees below freezing point. This caused the ice to attain far greater solidity than on the preceding day. During yesterday the sliders and skaters upon the various orna mental waters in the several parks were very numerous. We arc happy to say that, owing to the precautions taken by the society, not a single accident occurred. Detention of Mails—ln consequence of the bad state of the roads and the weather a great number of mails were overdue yesterday morning, particularly on the north road. The Edinburgh mail of Saturday arrived nearly forty-eight hours after its proper date, leaving three still due; in fact, nothing beyond Carlisle has reached town later dated than Saturday. The whole of the bags due from the north is fifty-one, end ten by the mail from Swansea due on Monday. In the north the delay arose from a heavy fall of snow. The Dutch mail, due on Sunday, had not arrived yesterday, and the Ilamburgh mail of Monday is also overdue. ST. PANCRAS BOARD OF GUARDlANS.—Yesterday the weekly meeting of the board of guardians and direc tors of the parish of St. Pancras took placo in the board room in the workhouse, in King's-road, Agar-town, and was very fully attended. Mr. Wagstaff, junior church warden, was in the chair. After the discussion of some routine business, Mr. M‘Gahey, clerk to the board, read a letter from the Poor-law Commissioners, in which they desired to be furnished wifh certain returns of the parochial expenditure of St. l?ancras. On some members objecting to its being furnished, Mr. Prendergast said that it would not do to play " fast and bose" with the Commissioners, for by their concessions to the Poor-law Commissioners on former occasions they bad, is his opinion, committed themselves, and formed a precedent. Still he would advise the board of guardians to obtain the best legal advice as to their power to refuse the re quest of the Commissioners, and should the legal opinion be favourable to the directors to resist the Commis sioners to the utmost. Mr. Morris said he would only furnish the Commissioners with such information S 3 they were legally entitled to. Mr. Bermingham and Mr. Crouch thought that the Commissioners by this re quest had no sinister intention of extending their au thority, but Merely sought for su ch statistic Informa tion as the Legislature required. The following resolu tion was then proposed and carried, viz. :—" That the returns be made in the usual way." After the usual business the board separated. A PREMATURE INTERMENT.—Another instance of the danger of precipitate interment has just taken place at Lampe, a commune near Bordeaux. The wire of a rich farmer, after a short illness, appeared to have expired. The usnal visit of the physician to verify the decease took place, and The funeral was proceeded with in the ordinary manner. Two or three hours after, the sacristan, in passing near the grave, heard a noise which resembled stifled groans. He hastened to give the alarm, and the coffin was taken up. The unforttivate woman was found to be warm, and gave unequivocal signs of lite. It was proposed to take her at once to the village, and employ the ordinary means of resuscitation ; but, through a barbarous pre judice of the place, not a person would consent to open his door, through the idea that a buried person always brought misfortune on the occupants of any house into which he or she entered. The poor woman was i n con• sequence, placed on the board of a wine-press, and there administered to. It wo u ld seem that naturewas,after worn out by the lengthened co n fi nement i n the coffin , as, a short time, death really supervened. The remains of Lieutenant- General Richard Col eton Dickinson, late Colonel-Commandant of the 2d Battalion of Royal Artillery, were yesterday consigned to their final renting-place, iu the ataeombs at Hensel green Cemetery. Th e f unera l was s trictly privatte,Aono but the General's family being present. - • ,K • lip , JP • .. ... . • • e •.`7 f ; . •es ---- 1, ..--• . ..„, ~ .- - . i f ,044 , . :. 4 -;4 1 ,- ~ _. t .„ , . ~,... .• A i f ,. .
