Secretary. 11, Poultry, December 28, 1850. rr HE NOVELTY most recently introduced by A_ MESSRS. NICOLL is called NICOLL'S PATENT EIDER DOWN PALETOT, such novelty cinsistinz !rt the adaptation of Eider Doris in the formation of NICOLL'S PALETOT, the original elegance and atility of which is, however, faithfully preserved. Eidrrs aro found in great numbers in Iceland and the Ferr Islands, where their beautiful and delicate dowa is well known to ID4 proof against the most severe cold. gni even the small quantit3 which can be compressed and concealed between the two hands, wil: serve in the formation of a Paletit. which, while it has most extra ordinary lightness, has, nevertheless, more warmth than the fines' and thickest blanket, the great desideratum fora winter garment being thus accomplished, namely, personal warmth without fatigue. r Public inspection is invited at MESSRS. NICOLL'S wholesale and real warerooms, 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL, London. HRISTMIS.—One of the new patented inven x tions called NICOLL'S EIDER DOW NT PALETOT will doubtless form a most acceptable gift at the approaching season of festivity, when it is somewhat diflicult to select the best token of friendship et* affection. The lightness and warmth of this garment will render it highly serviceable for covering al evening costume without causing tke least disarrangement ; and iron the peculiarity of the formation of the whole it precludes the necessity for any mea surement being taken, as merely seine slight description of height or appeararce will suffice to enable the patentees to supply an EIDER DOWN P kLETOT, at the cost of SIX GUINEAS, and which may fairly be described as ens of the best preservatives of health ever yet introduced to the public _ _ H. J., and D. Nicoll, 114, 116, and 120, ltegeat-street, and 2, Cor,►hlll, London. IHE NICOLL PALETOT (Registered 6 and 7 Viet., cap. 65) WAREROOMS, 114, 116, 120, REGENT STREET. and 22, CORNHILL. Many have assumed the use of the word PALETOT, but Messrs. NICOLL are the sole Patentees of the design and material. The Wholesale and Coasting House Departments fir the London .Erancheerinihe Shipping and Woollen Trades are in CH.&NGE- ALLEY. COWS HILT:: and 120, REGENT-STREET. 'The NICOLL is the distinguishing name given to a garment Secured by Royal Letters Patent front general imitation. It has all the advantages of Messrs. NICOLL'S original invention, the RE GISTERED PALETOT of LLAMA CLOTH. The NICOLL PA LETOTS are charged One, Two, Three, and Three-and. a-half Guineas, according with the climate or purpose for which they may be required, ANNUAL ADDRESS. The Public, by this time, must be aware of the fact that E. MOSES and SON, at the conclusion of each year, make a practice - of reviewing the progress which they may have made, and of ac knowledging the same in a plain business address to their supporters. If such, however, were not the general practice of the proprietors, there would be every reason, on the present occasion, to issue a "spe . bial'eft6ular" as an acknowledgment for those obligationsiwhich have been so apptrent in the year 1819. A glance at the past twelve months is sufficient to convince the proprietors that their Establishment is daily rising in the estimation of a discerning public. To no period can E. MOSES and SON refer in which every en couragement has not been afforded to them. Each of the four successive seasons of the year has had its amount of public favour, and no declension or fluctuation has at any time been apparent. Among the records of the past year must be named the establishment of Two Branch Houses (the one in Sheffield, and the other in Bradford), and the partial completion of a Metropolitan Branch House at the West End. It is scarcely necessary to allude to the circumstances which led to these steps being taken. The name of the proprietors being every where known and approved, a most extensive country connexion was the necessary consequence ; and as two favourable opportmities presented themselves, the proprietors availed themselves of the same; and studied, thereby, their own interests mutualy with those of their supporters. The inconvenience of distance was at once removed, and the advantaees accruing from a purchase of MOSES and SON'S dress secured to numbers who otherwise could not, without sending to town, have realised the same. The Bradford Branch House has now been in operation for nearly twelve months; and so successfel has it proved throughout this period, that E. MOSES and SON find it difficult to express their feelings of satisfaction and ,gratitude under the encouraging circum s ances. It was considered by many rersons who were witnesses of the opening and snbsequent scenes at this House, that the suc cess attendant on the specelation was without precedent in the annals of trade. What has been said concerning the Bradford Branch is. in every sense, applicable to that at Sheffield, which has been established nine months. To imagine that anything short of real merit could have produced all this, would c rtainly be a cenclus on not at all warranted by reason. The purchases made on the opening days at these Branch Establishments would have soon caused a diminution of support, had, not sound quality and general superiority been . really apparent. So satisfactory, however, were the goods obtained —so thoroughly were all promises fulfilled, as to quality and cheap ness, that all classes in these impor ant localities rallied round the Proprietors, and heartily backed the speculations with their coun tonsil,* and support. It has already been stated that the Metropolitan Branch, in the West End, which will be opened in the Spring, is the result of an increasing public femand for the goods supplied by the Proprietors. • Such is a correct statement. Nothing hut a positive assurance that such an extension is really required would have led E. MOSES and SON to have added thug to their London speculations, which, apart _ from, that under consideration. had no equal in the world. Not to acknowledge obligations so eLLential would be tantsmonnt to a forfeiture of all future favraus. But E. MOSES and SON are resolved to convince the public, both be word and action, that their numerous favours are grateful'y received. The Proprietors hold out no fal..e hopes to the public, when stating, that the year 1850 will be distinguished for improvements and advantages on a scale more advantageous than has ever yet been experienced. It is by this means alone that E. MOSES and SoN hope to secure future support from those who have Lo liberally aided them. The Proprietors might particularise those arrangements for the coating seasons which are already in progres - . They have in preparation a stock of Spring and Summer Dress, which, for cheapness, utility, and elagance, was never surpassed. Tey would also impress upon the notice of the public those various articles which are now on sale for the winter season. They have no hesitation is asserting that such an 2 ssortment is not to be met with elsewhere in the trade. E. MOSES and SON, in conclusion, would wish all classes of _ titer supporters in every sense "a happy new year"—a year free from those party international broils abroad, and those political dis• sensions at home, which cannot fail to operate inimically with our " commercial trading and domestic well•beir - ,•. The proprietors trust that those who aid them. together sa:th those who are not numbered • among their supporters, may have to declare, when the clock strikes twelve on the night of the 31st of December next, that the year 1850 has proved to them a year of uninterrupted peace, prosperity, and happiness. A Medal. containing an Almanac for the year 1850, wil be pre sented to every customer. LUtT OF PRICES. READY MADE.

" Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief Irons pain. 'During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe eases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in- stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have bad no return of the complaint. . . _ I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know how to obtain a remedy fur this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " MICHAEL NASMYTII." The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout grid Rheumatism, have secured to then* a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours. but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence.

PAROCIIIIIL MOVEMENTS IN AID OF MR. SIDNEY HERBERT'S PLAN. At the meeting of the vestry of the parish of St. Marylebone, on Saturday, the Rev. Dr. Spry, the rector, in the chair, the initiative steps were taken for forming a parochial association in aid of the committee recently established for enabling distressed needle women to emigrate. The importance of the subject attracted a very numerous attendance of vestrymen. Mr. HENRY CHARLES WILSON introduced the subject in moving a resolution (founded upon a re quisition signed by 42 vestrymen) to the effect th a t the use of the board room be granted for tho pur pose of forming a parochial association. He had no doubt that every member of the vestry had heard, or read, of the scheme recently propounded by Mr. Sidney Herbert, for carrying out an extensive system of female emigration, more especially among the class denominated needlewomen. It was impossible for a more important question to engage the attention of that or any other board. Mr. Herbert's plan had been forced upon the attention of the public by the condi tion of the poor ; and from the subscriptions which had already been announced in the public press, it appeared that there was every disposition on the part of the public to aid this great and must desirable object. Having been no idle observer of past events, he (Mr. Wilson) had no hesitation in saying that he believed this movement on behalf of female emigre tion would be productive, not only of the most hene ficial consequences to the emigrants themselves, but to the country at large, and to the parishes of the metropolis in particular. Hitherto, it appeared that the subscriptions in aid of this great project had been confined to the upper classes of society, and the object which he, and those who had entrusted him with the resolution he was about to propose had in view, was to take measures by which the middle classes might be enabled to put their shoulders to the wheel in aid of this movement, and that by meeting in their parishes, and establishing branch, or parochial associa'ions, they might render a vast amount of assistance to this truly iztional object.—(Hear, hear.) There were several parties deeply interested in thi. question. First, there was the large body of virtuous and well-intentioned young women with which thi, country abounded, but" who, unfortunately, wanted employment, or who were employed at such rate of wages as to be plunged into the lowest depths o' misery—a class whose ,sufferings the energetic aid of the press, the imagination of the . poet, the ingenuity of the novelist, and the wit .of the satirist, had recently exposed to the world, in all, their naked deformity and horrible realitY. Their sufferings had created e deep impression upon the public mind ; and there was no class of society which was not interested in the important question of how to afford adequate re lief. The vestry were well aware of the disparity which existed between the sexes in this country ; and lie would ask how there could be other than such dis tress as had recently been published, when it was known that there were from five hundred thousand to o n e million in excess of females over males here. was utterly impossible Abut such an excess could he employed profitably, whilst those who were employed were paid such an amount of wages for their labour that it did not deserve the appellation of remuneration. This class, then, in the first place, would be not only interested, hut benefitted, by this plan of emigration. It stooei to reason if there were twenty thousand in employment and insufficiently paid, that if you re moved four thousand or six thousand out of that number, it would afford the most effectual means of giving greater employment and of bettering the con dition of those who remained.—(Hear, hear.) If they turned to the colonies, there they found that there was a diminution of the female sex in a greater de gree than there was an excess here.—(Heats) He alluded to the Australian colonies in particular. There it was a well-known fact that the greatest of the social evils which existed was the vast discrepancy be tween the number of males and females. Thus, secondly, there could be no doubt but the colonies themselves were deeply interested in this matter, and that by the emigration of a large number of virtuous and well -disposed females from the mother country, they would be going a great way to advance their best interests, both in a social and moral point of view, as well as the interests of this country.—(Hear, hear.) lie believed there was no movement which had ever come before the public under more favourable auspices, for, if they looked at the subscriptions, they found at the head of that list the name of her Most Gracious Majesty and that of her Royal Consort. They also found in that list the name of the present head of her Majesty's Government, Lord John Russell, and that of Mr. Hume—names which were guarantees that the object was a good one, for such men would be the last to lend themselves to any object which was not calculated to be useful to society at large.—(Hear, hear.) It was true that emigration with regard to females had been carried on for some considerable length of time, but then it had been carried out in such a way that the principle was in a great measure calculated to defeat its own object. In this move- I ment he (Mr. Wilson) apprehended that a different course would be adopted, and that before females were sent out a rigid inquiry would be instituted into the character and qualifications of persons desirous of being assisted.—(Hear, hear.) He apprehended also, as the name of the Premier of this country was appended conspicuously to the list of subscribers, that in this movement they might count upon the aid and countenance of the Government of this country,: and of the colonial Governments, and that they would adopt such measures, not only here but in the colonies, as would be useful and beneficial to the emigrants on their arrival at their destinations. It was an important question, affecting them all, and he hoped that the middle and even the working classes would not be behind those who could afford their one hundred pounds in their endeavours to aid this great movement.--(Hear, hear.) One of the important objects to be achieved by this committee, which had been founded under the presidency of Mr. Sidney Herbert, was female emigration on an exten sive scale to the Australian colonies, where, by care and discrimination, the seed might be sown for a great, healthy, moral, and religious community.— (Hear, hear.) When he (Mr. Wilson) traced back the prosperity of the United States of America, he could only attribute it to the great moral and re ligious doctrines carried there from this country in the times of our James and our Charles, and which subsequently produced men of such high moral cha racter and position as Washington. If they were to have religion, morality, and industry in Australia hereafter, the same principle must be applied there as was applied by our forefathers with respect to America. He (Mr. Wilson) looked upon the Australian colonies in relation to this country as the safety valve might be looked upon in regard to the steam-engine.—(Hear, hear.) The Australian colonies would prove, he firmly believed, the safety valve of this country if the principle of emigration was properly carried out. They must have better women sent to those colonies than the sweepings of our convict-ships, or the offshoots of our workhouses. —(Hear, hear.) They must be the honest, indus trious, and virtuous women, who he was sorry to say obtained so scanty and miserable a living in their mother country. The object therefore of himself and his co-requisitionists was to aid this design by a parochial movement, and he was about to ask the use of that room for the purposes of a meeting to form an association to aid the central committee formed for carrying out Mr. Sidney Herbert's object.— (Hear, hear.) He believed the city of London were about to move in the matter, but it had devolved on Marylebone to be the first parish to move in the formation of a parochial branch association. If the vestry adopted his proposal, in which he was proud to say he had the concurrence of their reverend chairman, he (Mr. Wilson) had no doubt that other parishes would follow their example.—(Hear, hear ) Ile concluded by moving—" That the use of the board room be allowed to the undersigned parishioners for the purpose of enabling them to form a paroAi ii association in aid of the committee recently :appointed to carry out an effective system of female emigration." Sir JAMES Hamturos, Hart., said, he had great pleasure in seconding the motion. It was one strictly in accordance with his own feelings, arid he was sure that of all the proceedings which had ever come under the notice of that vestry since he had the honour of being a merribtr of it, this was the most import.int (llear, hear) It was . a question which, insca.l of being of a political character, or at all tainted by party, was one of perfect philanthropy and humanity. —(llean) It was for the amelioration of the condi tion of one of the most wretched, ill• paid, and deserv ing classes of the community ; and when he looked at the list of names which had been published, they were a guarantee that there was no party or political object in view. —(Hear, hear.) They were the names of distinguished men of every class and denomina tion, and he trusted that the motion of Mr. Wilson would be received with that unanimity of feeling to which it was so eminently entitled.—( Hear.) Mr. MicuiE had no wish to oppose the motion, but he could not forbear saying that needlewomen were hardly the sort of persons to be sent out to our colonies. The colonies wanted women of a different description, women fit to be the wives of agricultural labourers. If they sent out one-half of the unemployed needlewomen in the metropolis, who was - to employ them upena their arrival ? Ele rather thought that what the colonies wanted was good ser vants—persons calculated to undertake'the charge of farms, and those trained to domestic service. Mr. JOSEPH did not very clearly understand the objection, unless it meant that needlewomen were not fit persons for the wives of agriculturists. But that was a very narrow-minded view. It was not to be supposed that because there were so many thousands of needlewomen in the metropolis, that they were all brought up to be needlewomen from their infancy. They had adopted it as a dernier resort, not being able to procure employment as domestic 'servants, or in any other way.—(Hear, hear.) It was high time that some steps should be tiken with the surplus population of this country, which increased in the ratio•of one thousand per day; whilst it was equally certain that the broad acres did not increase in the ;lightest degree to support them. It is not so much, therefore, the great discrepancy between the numbers of the female' sex as compared with the male, that had forced this subject upon the attention of the country, as it was from the urgency of the case arising from the circumstances he had just referred to. Irwas the way in which the labour market of this country was yverstocked which rendered some step of the kind necessary ; and whilst that was the case here, let them look t* New Zealand, were there were .thotsands upon thousands of acres of land without cultivation, of the very finest description, for want of the hands to sow and the hands to reap.—(Hear, hear.) He eared not whether this scheme had -manated, or was said to emanate, from Mr. Sidney Herbert, or any one else, it was a good one, and ought to be universally supported —(Hear. hear.) His (Mr. Joseph's) opinion, however, was that if credit was due to one more than another, it was especially due to the proprietors of the forning Chronicle, whose columns for the last th ree mont h s had called attention to the misery and distress of the needlewomen in a series of articles of great ability, wherein the facts having been industriously collected, were plainly laid before the. werld.-4(Uear, hear.) T. those gentlemen, therefori, was mainly due the iistinguished honour , of -having first originated the movement to which Mr.. Sidney Herbert had given the sanction of his name. He,aP ts add that he was oasen aiuch gratified to find that:Ma Xone was the first parish to rove in aid of the object, and he hoped that eve f. 7 other parish in London would also form asso ciations togive aid to the Great Central Association. The CHAIRMAN, in reference to the question whether needlewomen would be an acceptable class of persons to send - out as emigrants, begged to remark that he had recently had a conversation on the subject with a gentleman from Sydney, who stated that they were a class of persons 'which werexanted very much, and that if they were virtuous, morally inclined, and industrious, they would be a most acceptable class of persons...--(Hear, hear.) How the poor creatures could live upon what they were paid for their needle work here was wonderful. He was shown a shirt the Aber day which a friend of his told him he had paid Out 3i. 611. for, and it was more beautifully worked than any shirt he believed, which he (the Itiv. Rector) gad ever worn in his life.—(Rear, hear.) How these poor creatures could live was astonishing.—(Herr, hear.) It was, therefore, a great act of humanity to induce these poor women to emigrate.—(Hear.) _ Mr. SWAINE stated that he had seen letters from Australia which stated that two respectable young women who went out from Islington were engaged immediately upon their arrival. One was now in a situation at 301. a year, and the other in another at 201. No one, he was sure, could venture to state that such a change in life would not be most beneficial for the poor women who, to the number of about 20,000 in this metropolis, were obliged to live upon making shirts at the rate of l d. a piece. Mr. SODEN observed that the question of female emigration had long been a favourite question with the guardians of the poor of that parish, and it was with no small degree of delight that they had witnessed a cargo shipped off from the workhouse, with the knowledge that they were going to a place where they would be well fed, clad, and provided for. It was true, however, they were not of the very first class of persons. This movement, however, appeared chiefly for the needlewomen, but, if they meant to do any good, it was a farce to talk of making selections and distinctions, and because a poor woman might have committed herself once to set her down as a character unworthy of the boon of emigration. It was his belief that in most cases these poor women had been creatures of circumstance, and that they would, if they had the opportunity afforded them, become again virtuous and useful members of society.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that much of the expense attend ing emigration might be saved if her Majesty's Go vernment would employ some of the vessels of war in the service. —(Hear, hear.) Mr. HAKES supported the motion, but his observa tions were inaudible. Mr. J. BRIJ. observed that workhouse emigration had not baen so successful as might have been wished, because the females were generally corrupted by the influences of the workhouse before they were sent, whereas the present plan was to send out females before they were so degraded. He thought those who had the management of the affair should be ex ceedingly careful as to the character of the ships in which the emigrants were sent out, for they had too many instances on record where the captain and crew were guilty of gross immorality. He (Mr. Bell) thought, therefore, that exceeding care should be taken not only with regard to the vessels, but with regard to those selected to have the command of them. Mr. GLASIER, in supporting the motion, thought the vestry was about to take one of the most impor tant measures they had ever yet - been engaged in. He wished the movement every success.—(Hear, hear.) The motion was then put from the chair. and una nimously carried. On the motion of Mr. GARNETT, seconded by Sir JAMES HAMILTON, it was unanimously resolved that the Reverend the Rector of Marylebone be requested to act as chairman of the Parochial Association. The Rev. Dr. SPRY, amidst much applause, inti mated that he should have much pleasure in accepting the office. It was next resolved on the motion of Mr. BRTDG MAN, seconded by Mr. EDWARDS, that ➢lr. Henry Charles Wilson be requested to act as honorary secretary to the " Marylebone Parochial Association for Promoting Female Emigration." Mr. WILSON said he should be happy to aid the movement by all the means in his power, and that his services in relation to it were entirely at the dis• posal of his fellow-parishioners.—(Hear, hear.) The remaining business was then disposed of, and the vestry adjourned. A public meeting in aid of the Parochial Associa tion is contemplated. FATAL ACCIDENT IN RICHMOND -PARK.-011 Saturday a fatal accident occurred at Penn's Ponds, two large and deep pieces of water situated half-way on the road leading from Richmond to Ham. It appears that the two ponds, the larger of which is about half as broad as the Serpentine, and nearly a quarter of a mile long, were thickly coated with ice. About eleven o'clock some ten or twelve men were employed by Mr. J. Ellis, of tho Star and Garter Hotel, Richmond, to ,htain him a supply for his ice cellar; and three men, named Willimn Powell, James Powell (brothers), and Thomas Gudden, who were on the pond, some yards from the side, were in the act of pushing a large piece of ice towards the breach, when the ice on which they stood br,,ke with a loud crash, and they were all in stantly immersed in deep water. James Powell and Thomas Godden were rescued in a half-drowned state, William Powell disappeared under the ice, and his body was not recovered until au hour and a half atter wards. IRELAND. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING, DEC. 29.—The letter of Sir Robert Peel to " his farmers," has fallen amongst the Protectionists here like a thunderbolt. The weekly papers here all published it in second edkions ; the Landon papers of yesterday morning not having arrived, owing to contrary winds, and thus depriving the two morning papers here of an o p portunity of publishing that simple but imprtant document. The fiercest Protectionists now give up the ghost of a h'pe that they will succeed; for the tables have hren completely turood upon them in their own domestic circle, and Sir Robert's manifesto has cut them off from all out-of-door aid. Ano - her signifi • cant disappointment has occurred to the landlord clique from the reception their circu'ar has met Kick from Richard Maxwell Fox, Member for Longford— an exclusively agricultural county —and nephew of Lord Farnham, of Exeter Hall ar.d old Tory fame. Invited to attend a meeting on tha sth of January next, to form a Protection society, the Honourable Member published a long and able reply in the Long ford .Journal of this morning, in which, after declaring hjs determination not to attend, he says— " This call for protection is in my mind a gross delu sion upon the unwary tenantry of Ireland. The re imposition of a tax upon the food of the great bulk of the people will not be tolerated for a moment by the powerful manufacturing interest of the United Kingdom; and the idea of any benefit to be derived from it by the farmers and labourers is also rejected by great numbers of the agricultural body in England and Ireland, and especially in Scotland." In other portions of his letter Mr. Fox writes very unlike an Irish landlord. He recommends security of tenure, reduction of rents, reduction in the area and other alterations of poar- law unions and electoral divisions; and, lastly, a recognition by law of the tenant's right to sell his interest (providing that the rent should be paid, and sub-division of the farm avoided). The value of Mr. Fox's opinion is enhanced by the fact that all his own intereats are involved in the lartd, everything he p9ssesses in the county being fee simple landed property. He concludes by saying . . _ . . . Icannot hesitate, in conclusion, to record my decided conviction that in the even prices which must arise from free trade, the profits of your_indastry will be far more continuous, and your calculations more certain, and consequently your steadiness of purpose and ease of mind tar greater than if you were again subjected to the influence of a gambling *spirit, caused by a fluctuating trade, - and a ruinous competition, for land, under the old' protective system." The Nation to day has air obituary of Mr. fames Fenton Lalor, a well-known• writer — in the United Irishman and Felon newspapers. sir. Lalor was the son of Patrick Lalor, Esq., of Tinnakill, formerly Member of Parliament for the Queen's County, and was remarkable both in his personal appearance and for the vigour of his mental acquirements. He was of a very delicate frame, was hunabacked outing to a hurt when young, and had a peculiar cast of countenance, indicative of habitual suffering. He was decidedly the most profound and original thinker of the entire Young Ireland school; and his letters on the land question—although levelling in the extreme—were fraught with natural eloquence and that homely intelligible vigour so potent with the masses. Mr. Lalor, whose health has been delicate since his imprisonment in 1848, expired on Thursday, at his lodgings in Great Britain-street, in his twenty eighth year. The country papers to-day contain the obituary of another man, remarkable in a different sphere. It is the death of the Very Rev. Farrell Sheridan, P.P. of Granard, Longford, one of the best Irishmen at d priests that have for many years adorned the Roman Catholic Church. I knew the reverend gentleman well; and he was as free from all bigotry and preju dice towards those who differed from him in religion as he was bound up by every tie - of Christian charity to the flock who loved him. He died of typhus fever, , caught in the discharge of his sacred duties to the most bereaved portion of his fltick. The Anglo. Celt, a Cavan paper of this morning's date, publishes an interesting sketch of the deceased and his family, from which I extract the following : " The Rev. Farrell Sherid.oi was of the ancient family of that name in the county of Cavan—one of n h m was the tutor, and afterwards the companion of the un • fortunate Charles Edward, iu his descent upon Scotland, in 1745; after the defeat of the latter at Cut loden, and his subsequent romantic adventures in the Iliglands, all the energies of Great Britain w‘re exerted to have him taken, dead or alive; 10 000/. reward was put upon his head; his intention was supposed to be to endeavour to escape to France; and he was for several weeks mis,ing, but it was known to be impossible tor him to have made his any through the British cruisers, on the look out for him along the entire coast. It is a tradition sinougst the Jacobite families of this country, that the Prince, ac cotupanied by Sheridan, lauded ou the north- western coast of Ireland, whence in the disg uise of a pedlar, he made his way to the neighbourhood of Kilnaleck in this county, where he was concealed until the first heat of pursuit abated. Upon one occasion he was ntarly taken; information was given at C.svan, that a person answering his description lurked in the neighbourhood; he was made aware of this in sufficient time to make his escape, and was eventually conducted back into France. Ap• preaching nearer to our own time, Doctor Edward She ridan, a member of the same family, and au eminent M.D., in Dublin, was amongst the most active in his ex ertions to remove the civil disabilities of his countrymen. During the Duke of Richmond's administration, he was indicted by Mr. Ssurin, ex-officio, and found guilty of a violation of the Convention Act, in taking the chair at a meeting of the Catholic Board." The Kilkenny Moderator of this morning states that a petition for protection is in course of signature throughout that county, under the auspices of the Earl of Desart, High Sheriff, and a " considerable number of the magistrates, clergy, and landed gentry." Too late, gentlemen I am glad to perceive by the Wexford and Donegal papers that vast shoals of fish have visitel their re spective coasts. Fish, also, is exceedingly plentiful here. A gentleman told me to day he purchased two splendid plaice here yesterday for the sum of five pence ! The Ballyshannan Herald of this morning has the following paragraph : " IMPROVEMENT IN THE CONDITION OF TOE PEOPLE. —lt affords us great pleasure to state that, during the entire season there has been a most abundant supply of fish along the coast of Donegal, so much so, that it ex ceeds anything heard of for the last ten years. We have lately been informed that the potato disease has scarcely affected a tuber in many parts of the country, and that owing to these circumstances a great change for the better is taking place in the social condition of the people." THs WEATHER.--The weather still continues ex tremely severe, with hard frost and a strong north western breeze. The " high tide," which was expected this morning, has not yet " come off ;" and although they now say it is to take place to-morrow morning, or next, I am inclined to think the appearance of the threatened diluvies is indefinitely postponed. The wind is now blowing off shore, and the weather frosty ; so that high tide or low, there is no immediate danger of submersion. Great discontent is felt here at the monopoly of the bakers and butchers. According to the market rates, these gentry must be pocketing profits to the tune of seventy to eighty per cent. on their outlay. The butchers of Dublin were always noted for their combination to keep up prices ; and since the retire ment of the great firm of Handers, the bakers have reverted to the old system, and emulate the butchers in their peculations on an impoverished community. THE MURDER or Ms. PIIELAN.—It will be recol lected that it was stated in this paper that five men, charged with the murder of Mr. John Phelan, at Carrickbeg, in October last, had been committed for trial on the information of James Cleary, a crown witness. It has created some surpris? that on Christ mas eve the parties were removed from this to Carrick on.Suir, and bailed on that night before J. B. Graves, Esq., in the small sum of 201. each, and two sureties in the sum of 101. to appear at next assizes.— Water ford Mail.

IMPORTATION OF SPONGE.—An importation having taken plats of a quantity of sponge by a vessel from Rotterdam, and entered as being free or duty, the of: Beers of the revenue considering that it was the pro duce of Turkey and having been imported from Europo was inadmissible to entry, detained the sponge as having been imported contrary to law. On consideration of the matter it appeared that there was not sufficient proof that the sponge was inadmissible to entry for home use, and that according to the best authority, sponges occur attached to stones at the bottom of the sea, and abound particularly upon the shores of the islands in the Grecian Archipelago. If the sponge were the produce of Asiatic Turkey it would be inadmis sible, but it appearing to have been ruled on a former occasion that the laws of navigation were applicable solely to the produce of the land, and that therefore this article was not affected by those laws, permission was granted for the delivery of the sponge and free of duty for home use.

The Harbour Commissioners and Trinity Board of Dundee are puzzled to know what to do with the Tay lights. Since the opening of the railways co loured lights have become so common that vessels at r , sea may readily m i s t a k e t h e ra i lway signat fgEetbe marine light, and thus life and property mar)eeelo4i The Dundee authorities have applied to the Admiralty for instructions and advice, and it is now perfectly clear that something must speedily be done to remedy the evil. A vessel was wrecked in the Tay the other day, and the captain drowned, from having mistaken the railway light of Ferry-Port-on-Craig for the harbour light of Dundee. But if the harbour trustees of Dundee have felt themselves called on to take up this matter as one of the greatest importance to the shipping in terest, the Harbour Commissioners of Aberdeen are still inure imperatively bound to inquire how the opening of the Aberdeen Railway will affect our tidal lights. The line of this railway is laid along the East coast, frc m the Bay of Nigg to Stone h.lven. The different stations will be signalled with coloured lights at night, and the ?to] and green being similar to th red and green of the Aberdeen Har bour Lanterns, it need surprise no or.e to hear, onu of these day s, that a vessel has run ashore at the Cove or the thy of Nigg. To those who are well acquainted vvith the coast, the Girdleness light is suf ficienl!, in ordinary circumstances, to prevent denger ; but it is wtll known that many vessels come across to the East coast, whose elpteins would not know Girdleness from Kinnaird's Head light, and would take a coloured light as a guide when a plain light %could not be seen. At any rate, when we find the Trinity Board of Dundee alarmed, it is high time that the subject had engaged the attention of the harbour authorities of Aberdeen. fynd happily they have not to go far for a remedy. The system of tidal lights - and marine signals, in vented by our townsman Mr. Rettie, is all that can be desired. The grand distinguishing feature of these lights is their distinctive character. Like Mar ryatt's signals, they are perfectly unique. That por tion of his system which our trustees have adopted is only a fractional part of his complete whole, with the difference only of the inversion of the order of the red for the green. If Mr. Rettie's tidal lights were universally adopted, there would he perfect safety, but with the present diversity of lights there is con stant danger. This opinion, ,was expressed long be fore Mr..Rettie preferred-any 'aim for infringetnetit 4 Fc"' 4l / 4 4e 4. ' eme, of his patent, and we hold by it still, independently of all considerations affecting that claim-. With us it is a •vestion of humanity ; and on that ground we are Aelermined to contend for a distinctive set of marine lights until they are obtained.—North of Scotland Gazette. THE FROGNOSTICATED MGR TIDE. Royal Observatory, Greenwich, Dec. 27, 1849. Gentlemen, —ln reply to your letter of yesterdly,-;-: I have to state that I bad not previously seen thee: : `letter, of which you enclosed a copy, although I had' .hearts thtsta rumour on the probability of a large tidv. ,' an the 29th or 30th inst was now curr en t. 4 There is no foundation whatever for such a rumour. The circumstances on which the magnitude of the tide depends are mainly these three !- The tide is high when the moon ialig; it Is high when the moon is in perigee,ind it is Wier when the moon is in the equator. (I omit LH tantidOWPF the sun's distance, because the effect of its ye*tioia. is practically quite insignificant.) The largest tides usually occur on the day nett following the states of the moon which I h tve men tioned. Two of these circumstances occur on the 29th (namely, the moon will be full and in perigee). But the moon instead of being in the equator, will be t her greatest north declination ; and this circumstai e 3 will reduce the tide considerably. The three increasing circumstances which I have mentioned have repeatedly been combined in late years, all tending to increase the tide ; and yet no mischief has been done. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient selyan'. G. B. Amy.. Messrs. Scott and Hopkins, Times' Off uth r' THE ANC TIC EXPEDITION. TO TILE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—As the Investigator and Enterprise are to be sent again to search for Sir John Franklin's ships, every means of preventing their being delayed by remaining inclosed in the ice should be made known ; and since sawing a passage through Melee has proved tedious, and even impracticable in places where its thickness has been great, 1 think it tnay . be advanta geous to draw attention to the use which it is intended to make of gunpowder for this purpose,• in the hope that those wh ) may have any information on the subject may make it public ; and I beg to state that I had an opportunity, whilst attached to the Pru,sian Royal E igineers, of seeing the report of some expe- .. rineents made at Dantzio, fronufaiiikaiii-a4 ars.. by firing a charge of 61b. in the centre of ice 26 inches thick a portion of 20 feet in di,meter can be broken up. Other expi•riments made at Montreal, under the direction of Colonel II0;loway, of the Royal Engineers, produced similar results, and from these it appears that charges lodged under the ice, where that is possible, ciiuse the greatest effect. But it is most desirable to obtain inforniath n on the action of gunpowder upon thicker ice. and it is hoped that any persa n who may possess such knowledge will mNlic it public as soon as possible, in order to aid in the extrication of the brave men in whose fate all nations are now interested.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, P. J. BAINISRIGGE 7 Captain R.E. DEATH OF LIEUT.-COLONEL IRVINE, C.B, CHIEF DIRECTOR OF AD MIRALTY WORKS. It is with much regret that we record the death of Lieutenant• Colonel Archibald Irvine, C.D., Direc tor of Engineering and Architectural Wotics of the Admiralty, which event took place at half•past twelve o'clock on Saturday night, at his residence, Highgate. Up to within the la•t three years Colonel Irvine's life was spent in the service of the Honourable East India Company's Engineers, in which his career was an arduous, gallant, and most distinguished one. Ile served in many sieges " and stcrrns, in wh . c!), he was severely wounded, and, we believe, personally led n or two forlorn hopes. As a military engineer his talents were highly prized in India. He filled there many very important and responsible situations, and firaly wound up his service in that part of her Majesty's dominions by distinguishing himself as an engineer officer at tha great battles under Lord Harcinge. In India his engineering skill and ability intro duced him to the late Lord Auckland, 'hen Governor-General, who, on Colonel lrvine's return to England, now about three years since, appointed him successor to th I late Colonel I3randreth, R.E., as chief of the Admiralty engineering and architec tural dqartment at Somerset House. We fear, however, that this has proved a rather unsuitable office for him, and that the excessive cares and im mense anxieties attendant upon it have contributed in no small degree to break down a constitution which, after so many years' toil in India, required repose and retirement. The gallant deceased, we believe, has left a large young family, the provision for which has been much circumscribed by the bankruptcies in India, and the depreciation of certain interests in which he had made large investments. Mr. Scamp, chief assistant to the late Colonel Irvine, will carry on the duties of the department until the vacancy is filled up. The selection of a successor will be a most difficult task, and will require the utmost care and considera tion in making it, if the economy and efficiency of the vast public works now being carrried on by the Admiralty be regarded. ATTEMPTED MURDER —DUDLEY, SATURDAY Yesterday evening Sarah Evans, who stands charged with attempting to murder two of her children by cutting their throats, underwent a final examination before the magistrates at this place. The particulars published previously in some of the papers are incorrect. The evidence of Sarah Evans, one of the prisoner's daughters, a girl of thirteen, who was examined yester day, went to prove that, hearing In r younger sister, Rosannah, crying, she went up stairs to her, and found her lying on a bed with her mother standing by the bedside. Rosannah's throat was cut and bleed• ing fast, and a bloody knife was lying by her. Her mother's right hand also was bloody. When her mother saw her (witness), she said, " Sarah, it is your turn next," and approached her; on which she ran down stairs, followed part of the way by her mother. However, she escaped from her, and ran to her father, who was at work near, and told him what she had seen, on which he rushed into the licthe and wrested the knife (which she had taken up again) from her. When the prisoner was taken into custody by constable Shore, she, on being told the charge against her, said, " I am sorry I did not do for 'em alt, and myself too." On the hus band handing the knife to the constable he point, d out that it had been sharpened; on which the prisoner ex claimed, " I did keen it. The devil told me to cut the child's throat;" and, turning to her husband, she added, "It 'll be your turn next." Two surgeons deposed as to the nature of the wound, which was an inch deep and three inches long. At first it was feared it would be fatal, but the child is now progressing favourably. A the close of the inquiry the prisoner was fully committe for trial at the assizes. She is said to be of a disturbed state of mind. MOORE, THE POET. —We have great pleasure in quoting the following paragraph (from the 'tut Journal), as a rumour had got into circulation that Mr. Mo - ,re was seriously indisposed:—" THOMAS MoonE.—The post is in the enjoyment of good health, physical and intellectual, at his cottage at Sloperton, takes his aitily walks along the terrace which borders his pretty garden, and drives as usual each day in a small pony carriage.
