Leav ceed t° Noers to settl e this (lA' cult question, we pro abitat gtive. au extract, w hi c h amusingly shows the of the Celestial Empire to be as great ossips as they were always known to be complete iars : " The different reports that have been set in motion (gain ing as they proceed from mouth to mouth during the day), are discussed early in the morning ; true, or untrue, is immaterial; every body credits them, and they serve pour passer le temps. If one person meets another, a cool bow of acknowledgment is made, and he passes on his way ; or he may be doomed to run the gauntlet, if any important event has been started, with every one he meets, at the corner of every hon,c , -, at the risk of being scorched by the sun, or, if taken under shelter, exposed to a chilling blast : as the day advances, he will find the tale increased to such an extent, that the person who heard it in the morning would hardly recognize the bantling by the even ing : the three black crows is a mere trifle to some of their inventions : one relates mutinies happening on board an India man, of the existence of which even the commander was igno rant : a slight illness of a lady at Macao, by the time it reaches her husband at Canton, by passing from individual to indivi dual, becomes a dangerous state, if not her actual decease ; and at the time the intelligence is communicated to her afflicted husband, she is probably attending one of the gay evening conversational parties at Macao, in which one derives exceed ing enjoyment, hearing the ' ladies discourse most eloquent music,' and mildly pass over the personal defects or mental faults of each other. One may very naturally therefore ask, if anything has been invented this morning ?' and if accuracy is requisite, how the news arrived, whose authority, &c. " One person happened to say casually, of a. long-missing ship, ' Perhaps she has been dismasted, and put into Manilla, and that may account for her detention :' in the evening, a re port was in circulation, and believed, that accounts had that day been received of the missing ship having safely arrived at Manilla, but that she had lost all her masts. It is therefore dangerous to make an observation ; for should it not at first be deemed sufficiently important, it will soon be increased, both in intricacy and consequence, as it passes the daily course. Any person, then, who may visit China; will show his wisdom by preserving silence as much as possible, and he will be lauded by some for the space of a few days ; then he will rise in im portance, and every body will buzz and talk the most extraor dinary things about him ; he will be a mystery, and all the re sidents will be delighted him, for he will listen tranquilly, and in much of the conversation he will hear far more than he will in any way be inclined to believe. The trifling or casual pas sing observations are usually—' What news?' None." Fine weather?'—' Yes.' Warm ?'—' Yes, exceedingly sultry.' Is opium getting up Have not heard.' No arrivals ?' --‘ None ! Good morning,' " _ _ . This determination of words to the mouth is, it is to be presumed, attributable to their inordinate tea drinking, that beverage producing precisely the same effects upon the elderly ladies of this country. Our author, who is by profession a surgeon, treats more largely than the usual class of tourists and voya gers, on subjects of botany and natural history. His remarks on the Croton tiglium, and on the Malaleuca Kayu-puteh will be read with no little interest : " Among others which excite interest to those of the medi cal profession was the Croton tiglium, at that time both in fruit and flower ; from the seeds of this shrub the well-known and powerful purgative Croton-oil is obtained; the true cam phor-tree (Dryabalanops Camphora of Colebrooke) from Sumatra, which yields the medicinal camphor, was also in the garden.; this valuable tree was in a very healthy and thriving condition, and was nearly ten feet high ; the Malaleuca Kayu puteh, from which the highly valued cajeput, or, correctly speak ing, Kayu-puteh oil is obtained by distillation from the leaves, attracted my attention, and confirmed my previously formed opinion, that a much larger quantity of this oil might be ob tained from the foliage of the Australian Eucalypti-trees ; more especially those which have opposite, rounded, and whitish leaves ; the oil produced by them being in consider able quantity. On taking and rubbing the leaves of this Ma laleuca it would be very difficult to distinguish it in odour from those of the Eucalypti, occasioned by the oil contained in them ; this valuable oil may therefore, at but little expense, be distilled in any quantity in the colony of New South Wales ; the genuine oil cannot be purchased at Singapore at a cheaper rate than from two and half to three dollars per bottle, which contains about a pint of oil ; but there is a large quantity of an adulterated article very generally sold by the natives at this settlement. The tree, which I felt some interest in examin ing, was about twelve feet high, branchy, and was at this time both in flower and fruit ; the bark was smooth and velvety, and appeared to be deciduous, similar in character to that which I have remarked in the falaleuca or tea-tree of New South Waales. We have thus endeavoured to make these volumes speak for themselves, without encumbering the reader with our own comments, and we firmly believe that their real value will be better appreciated by the few extracts given, than by twice as many columns of the fairest and soundest criticism.

When grown as low standards, they are sur passingly beautiful : but they should be taken up in _Novem ber, and their roots laid in mould, in a shed, as our sharp win ters would injure them, so as to prevent their blcoming in per fection, if left exposed." CHINA Rosins, 49 SORTS.—" From six to eight months in the year, the roses in this division form bright ornaments to our gardens. Many of the robust varieties make beautiful standards. They are all perfectly hardy. The sorts first in the list are quite new and very beautiful." L'ISLE DE BOURBON ROSES, 11 SORTS.—" This is a most beautiful family, scarcely known in this country. They seem to form a distinct division of China roses; like them, they are perpetual ; but they have a luxuriance and gracefulness quite their own : the perfect and elegant form of their flowers, the extremely delicate tints in some, and vivid rose colour, so pe culiar to these varieties, in others, will soon establish them in the favour of the rose amateur. As standards, they grow most luxuriantly, are quite hardy, and bloom in greater pe r . fection late in autumn than any other Perpetual rose." MUSK ROSES, 7 SORTS.—" These are interesting from their powerful fragrance and autumnal flowering. The Old white is one of the oldest inhabitants of the English gardens." SCOTCH ROSES, 22 SORTS.—" These are all emanations from the Rosa spinosissima, or Wild rose of Scotland ; and the above selection gives a representative of each shade of colour. Out of a collection of 200 nominal varieties from Scotland and elsewhere, twenty-two arc all that can be re commended as tolerably distinct. These form so ga y an assemblage among May flowers, that a clump or border ought to be devoted to them in every flower-garden. The shape of the flower in these is peculiar and similar, being nearly glo bular." MISCELLANEOUS ROSES, 72 SORTS, which are not described. GENERAL REMARKS ON THE CULTURE OF ROSES.—Re fcrring to the directions for rose culture given in their Cata logue for last year, and quoted in IX. 458., Messrs. Ri vers observe, that they " still think that, in unfavourable soils, roses require being removed, and their roots trimmed, every third or fourth year. In cold clayey soils, the best compost for them is rotten dung and pit sand-; in warm dry soils, cool loam an d rotten dung.. Annual pruning, which is quite essential, should always be done in October or in March ; but October pruning will be found greatly advantageous, as the rose will then prepare itself during the remainder of the autumn for 'vigorous growth in spring. The families of roses are now so well defined, that each ought to have its department : a clump of hybrids for their gorgeous colours in June and July ; of perpetuals, for their fragrance in the cool autumnal months ; of Noisettes, for their elegance and abundance of flowers; and of Scotch roses, for their precocity and humble growth. In short, all the, thirteen families‘ above enumerated require separate culture to have them in perfection ; but this, of course, will only apply to rather extensive flower-gardens. Climbing roses for pillars should be planted in a very rich soil, as they'will then put forth strong central branches, of 8 ft. or 10 ft. in length: these, when fastened to the stakes, will furnish a plentiful supply oflateral blooming shoots for many seasons. The -application of climbing roses to cover a sloping bank, their flexible branches being pegged to the ground, is, perhaps, a new idea. Thus treated, they will form a beautiful carpet of- foliage and flowers ; the dark crimson and white varieties blending with peculiar elegance. The majority of roses blooin . much finer when budded on the dog rose than under any other mode of culture. The great ob jection is, their throwing up suckers so as quickly to impo verish the budded part of the plant. To remove these as soon as they appear, the gardener must be continually on the alert."

But these are not essays on the pleasures of enjoyments, they are preparatives for it—lessons for instructing those who delight in the innocent and healthy companionship of groves and gardens, and fruit trees and flowers, and hothouses and conservatories, how to obtain and pre serve the objects of their regard. The first of these periodicals is from the pen of Mr. Loudon, and the second is prepared under his direction—a sufficient guarantee for its ability. We had marked a number of extracts in both, but our space will only admit the following " Descriptive Catalogue of Roses," pre pared by T. Rivers and Son, nurserymen, Sawbridge worth, Herts : Moss ROSES, 17 SORTS.—" Most of the varieties prefer a cool soil, though Mossy de Meaux is, perhaps, an exception, as it seems to flourish better in light dry soils. The White moss, unless budded on the dog rose (Rosa canina) will not, in general, grow well ; its sickly appearance in some situations may be often traced to its being worked on some improper stock. If on its own roots, in rich soils, it will often change to pale blush. All are well adapted for standards ; but, to have them in perfection in warm dry situations, in March put round each stem, on the surface of the soil, the fourth of a barrowful of manure ; on this place flints or moss, to take off its unsightly appearance, and make a little ornamental mound. This treatment will keep the soil cool, and make them bloom in a most superior manner, even in situations previously thought to be most ungenial to their culture. The manure should be spread on the surface in November, and lightly forked in." PERPETUAL ROSES, 29 SORTS.--" These, with the exception of Perpetual Scotch, Stanwell perpetual, and Pompone four seasons, are all varieties of Rosa damascena, or the Damask rose. They are, perhaps, the most desirable of all the pleas ing families of Rosa. Like their prototype, they are highly fragrant, and, if possible, more so in September, October, and November, than in June. As every shoot in most of the varieties produces bloom, the soil cannot be too rich ; for, with these, luxuriant growth will be sure to give abundance of flowers. A good practice would be to cut off all the bloom buds in June, and shorten the shoots to about, half their length ; then water them with manured water in July and August; this will make them shoot and bloom most luxu riantly all the autumn." HYBRID ROSES, 66 SORTS.—" The varieties of this distinct family are principally between the China rose (Rosa indica) and Rosa gallica. They are all very beautiful and distinct, and have that pleasing, glossy, sub-evergreen foliage, peculiar to the China rose ; but make a great deviation from that fa mily, in not being perpetual bloomers. In this division arc some of the most beautiful roses known; and among them George the Fourth, raised from seed by T. Rivers, jun., may rank among the best. These are also very robust, and will grow and bloom well in the most unfavourable rose soils. Their peculiar habit and vivid colours render them particularly well adapted for standards." SELECT ROSES, 70 SORTS.—" In this division are many varieties of Rosa gallica ' and also many hybrids between R gallica and R centifolia, &c. &c. The varieties selected are all fine and distinct, and will be found well worth cultivation." VARIETIES OF ROSA ALBA, 9 SORTS. DIVIDENDS. J. H.

PROVENCE ROSES, 16 SORTS.—" The Provence rose is the Rosa centifolia of botanists, the Cabbage rose of the English gardens, and the Rose a cent feuilles of the French. All its varieties are extremely fragrant, and some very beauti ful. The Provence rose of the French catalogues is our Rosa gallica." NOISETTE ROSES, 44 SORTS.—" This division, with the Perpetual roses, will ultimately be the ornament of every Bri tish garden : the astonishing multiplicity and constant succes sion of flowers (till the chills of November prevent the open ing of the buds) make them highly interesting. They are all very hardy, and, as standards, seem to show their varied cha racters with better effect than as dwarfs. Those kinds are in dicated which, from the length and flexibility of their shoots, are adapted for rose pillars." CLIMBING ROSES, 42 SORTS.—" A decided and rational objection has been made to tall standard roses ; but, with the aid of this graceful division, they can be formed into objects of high artificial beauty. We will suppose a tall tree rose, with a fine head of Crimson perpetual, or George the Fourth roses, in full bloom, its stem covered with the pure white blossoms of Rosa sempervirens pleno, or some of its beautiful varieties, such as Princess Louise, Felicite perpetuelle, &c., &c. : to the lover of roses, this hint will convey the beau ideal of all that is beautiful in their culture. TEA-SCENTED ROSES, 37 SORTS.—" The greater part of these are new to the English cultivator : all have that pecu liar fragrance which the French have taught us to call tea scented. Unless on very warm and favourable soils, these, as dwarfs, require careful cultivation, and must have a raised border against a south, south-east, or west wall. This border should be a compost of rotten manure or leaves, li g h t l oam , and sand, equal parts, and raised about eighteen inches above CERTIFICATES, OCT, 28. W. B. Harding, baker, Gloucester. E.

" Sir—When Earl Durham, the quondam Mr. Lambton, is so near our gates—nay, enters them to-morrow, you may not think it inopportunely to niche the following of him in your paper. " A LIBERAL." In 1820, I think, having written to Sir Thomas Liddell (who was then with the King at Brighton), t.o.request his vote and interest, Mr. Lambton received the following very " courtly" answer : "My Dear Sir—ln times like the present, it is impossible to allow private feelings• to take place of a sense of public duty. I think your conduct as dangerous in Parliament, as it is in your own county. Were you my brother, therefore, I could not give you my support. ( Signed) " THOMAS LIDDELL." On receipt, the patriot of Durham returned the following laconic, noble, and spirited answer : " My Dear Thomas—ln answer to your letter I beg to say, I feel gratitude for your frankness, compassion for your fears, little dread of your opposition, and no want of your support. (Signed) " J. G. LAMBTON." Dundee, Oct. 3, 1834. The Earl and Countess of Clarendon are receiving visitants at their delightful seat, the Grove, near Watford, Herts. The venerable Peer has received satisfactory accounts of the health of his nephew and heir apparent, Mr. Villiers, our Minister at the Court of the Queen Regent of Spain. Lords Brougham and Denman dined last week at the Episcopal Palace at Chichester, with their friend Dr. Maltby. The Learned Chief Justice returned from Brighton on Monday, where he had been passing a few days with the Lord Chancellor. The Earl of Darlington and a party are preparing to take the field at Melton Mowbray. His Lordship proceeded on Monday from Upper Brook-street, for Leicestershire. Count Matuszewic, in consequence of his approaching depar ture for St. Petersburgh, will break up his establishment at Melton, greatly to the regret of that distinguished hunt. Lord Kinnaird has been entertaining the Earl of Durham and a distinguished party of sportsmen, at his seat, Rossi° Castle, near Dundee, where Lord Durham arrived from a visit to the Marquis of Breadalbane, at Taymouth Castle. Lord D. was to arrive on Friday at Lambton Castle from Rossie. The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch are now at Dalkeith, after a visiting tour of two months. They were suc cessively the guests of the Earl of Cawdor, at Cawdor Castle ; the Duchess of Sutherland, at Dunrobin ; the Duke of Gor don, at Gordon Castle ; and they will shortly proceed to Bow bill, the Duke's seat, Selkirkshire. On the 26th instant a deputation of the feuars of Newcastleton, Liddisdale, waited on his Grace at Langholme, when the Duke granted a reduction of 25 per cent. on their rents. Their Graces, with the Mar quis of Queensberry, Earls of Haddington and Eglintoun, Lord Rolle, General Ramsay, and Sir James Boswell, are expected to be present at the approaching Dumfries races, where a spirited meeting is anticipated. The marriage of Mademoiselle Taglioni with M. Gilbert Desvoisins, which was celebrated in England about a year ago, has not yet been consecrated in France. The bans, however, have just been published at the Mayory of the second Arrondissement, Paris.—French Paper.

COURT OF SESSION.---It is now certain, we be lieve, that Lord Cringletie retires from the Bench at the commencement of the ensuing Session, and will be succeeded by Mr. Cockburn. Mr. Skene succeeds Mr. Cockburn as Solicitor- G eneral. —Scotsman. Yestqrday afternoon (Saturday) the Provost, Dean of Guild, and Baillie Booth, accompanied by Mr. Angus, Depute Town Clerk, waited, by appointment, upon his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, the President, and the Marquis of Tweeddale, one of the Vice-Presidents of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, and presented them with the Freedom of the City, as had been resolved on at a special meeting of the Council in the morning. Both Noblemen ex pressed themselves much gratified by the compliment, and highly pleased with their visit to Aberdeen. The Provost and Dean of Guild afterwards waited on his Grace the Duke of Gordon, the Senior Vice-President, to express the great respect of the Council for his Grace, and to explain that the circumstance of his being already a Burgess of the city, pre vented them from paying the only compliment to his Grace which they had it in their power to offer.—Aberdeen Herald. .Mr. 13U.LWER ' S NOVELS.—We are requested to state that new and cheaper editions of Mr. Bulwer's popular stories of Falkland," " The Disowned," " Devereux," and " Paul Clifford " arc now on sale, at the various booksellers. Of the latter work, " Paul Clifford," it has been justly ob served, that the character of Brandon, shows in its author a deep knowledge of human nature, not obtained from, books, but by looking right through the hearts of men—not the rep of history, or the men of poetry, but the men of reality, who live the life, who struggle, speak, write, wheedle, trim, smile, assert, retract, deny, but still push on, deceiving and deceived, to their great end—power or wealth—on the arena of this, our most vicious, most glorious metropolis. A splendid entertainment was on Friday evening given at the Angel Inn, Cardiff, to the Marquis of Bute, as a testimony of the high respect entertained by the inhabitants of that town for his Lordship's character, and for the benefits which he has recently conferred on the town of Cardiff. About six o'clock the great room was filled by 120 gentlemen, who sat down to a sumptuous entertainment, Walter Coffin, Esq., in the Chair, and J. M. Richards, Esq., of Roath, as Vice-Pre sident. Several gentlemen, whom the great room could not conveniently receive, also sat down to dinner in a lower room. —Merthyr Guardian. NORTHERN DIVISION OF DURHAM.—It is stated with considerable confidence that Sir Hedworth Wil liamson, Bart., partly from ill health, and partly from disgust, excited by the irregular hours and unruly conduct of the re formed House of Commons, will seek an early opportunity of relieving himself of the representation of the northern division of the county pf Durham. —Newcastle Journal.

FOREIGN EXCHANGES, By the advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10}d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10i, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 81, it follows that gold is 15-16 per cent. dearer at Ham burgh than in London. The premium on gold at' Paris is 64 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. the ounce for stan dard gold, gives an exchange of 25 32, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 35, itiollows that gold is 3-25 per cent. lower in Paris than in London. The exportation of the precious metals from the port of London, for the week ending the 4th inst., is as under : Gold coin to Hamburgh Ditto to India 125 Ditto to Van Dieman's Land Ditto to New York Silver coin, ditto Ditto to India 2,575 Ditto to Lisbon 133,303 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

In that situation the other men r obbed him of a gold watch, and ten sovereigns, and then ran off. No police were visible. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIVES. — A most melancholy accident occurred on Friday morning near Ballyhack. One of the Duncannon hookers was proceeding up to Waterford, when, owing to the darkness which pre vailed at that early hour, the passengers were unapprised of a brig, which lay at anchor in the river, and completely over whelmed the boat with its ill-fated crew. The number of the passengers are unknown, but it is supposed that five women perished—the remainder were picked up by the vessel. The strong tide that was running at the time prevented that suc cessful assistance which might otherwise have been rendered. Waterford Chronicle. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Friday last a very promising young man from Gosberton, apprentice to Mr. Thomas Stiles, surgeon, of Pinchbeck, but nearly out of his time, was required to lead a young spirited horse to the pas ture, and particularly requested not to ride him, but he im prudently neglected to obey the instruction, and shortly after he was mounted, the animal commenced kicking and plunging, when, dreadfiitto relatei the rider was thrown seven or eight yards over his head, with such violence as to occasion his death the following morning. An inquest was held the next day before Samuel Edwards, gent., coroner, and a verdict of " accidental death " was returned.—Stamford News. DEATH BY PO; SON AT PORT , GLASGOW.—A painful occurrence took place there - on . Wednesday morning seinnight, which terminatett in the death of a promising young boy, of eleven years of age, the only son of Mrs. Hannah, grocer in Church-street. Befo -e going to school this unfortu nate boy had occasion to enter h. s mother's shop, where, ob serving a slice of bread lying i n a ,-.orner, he picked it up and ate it. This bread had been mixeui with poison for the de struction of rats, with which the shop is infested , and the un fortunate boy was not long gone off to sc:lool, que unconscious of his mournful situation, when the liisti-essing circumstance was discovered. The boy was immed:atoly removed from school, and every exertion made to save bit; life that medical skill could devise, but all without avail. He lingered till Thursday evening, when death put a period t'o his sufferings. We trust that this, in addition to many other ..accidents of a similar nature, will serve as a caution to shop keepers and o thers to avoid all chances of accident from the use of poison for the destruction of vermin.—Glasgow Herald. FLAGRANT IMPOSITION.—Last night, h t ,stween seven and eight o'clock, a woman with two small childret; was observed sitting on the steps of a gentleman's door in John street, Bedford-row, exclaiming, "My poor children, what shall I do to get you a mouthful of bread ?" when a tall, gen teel looking woman, dressed in a straw bonnet, and a whittle on her shoulders, came up and said, " God bless me ! poor soul, what is the matter?" and turning to the by-standers, asked them if they had ever before witnessed such a case of misery. " Here," said she, " take this, it is the only penny I have about me, but I dare say some of these here good people w ;LI give you a trifle, poor creater." The feelings of the audi tory we're now wound up to the highest pitch, poor John Bull's -heart naturally melted, and putting his hand into his pocket, the pennies flew into the mendicant's treasury with surprising rapidity. The " disiTessed mother," however, after reaping a rich harvest, was observed in a gin-shop in Gray's-inn-lane, regaling herself with rum shrub, and treating the before-men tioned lady, her confederate, with oysters and ginger-beer, after which they removed to Brunswick-square, where the drama was again successfully represented, until one of the au dience, who had seen the same tragedy repeated several times during the evening, put an end at once to the ini-mitable per formances, by threatening to give her • in charge to the police, upon which intelligible hint she instantly walked away. _ MONUME .L ('' ~~t • - (From the Tyne Mercury.) 7111 00.10 ( f i olf Yesterday (Monday), a public meeting was held at the Assembly-rooms, Newcastle, to consider the propriety of entering into a subscription for erecting, in a public situa, tion in his native county, a statue or other memorial in ho— nour of Earl Grey. About half-past two the room was nearly full, containing from 150 to 200, a considerable number of whom were county gentlemen, and gentlemen of the highest respecta bility in the town. Amongst others we observed W. Ord, Esq., W. H. Ord, Esq , M.P., S. W. Parker, Esq., R. Ingham, Esq., M.P., G. Baker, Esq., Dr. Fenwick, T. Riddell, Esq., Dr. Headlam, S. H. Williamson, Bart., M.P., Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart., M.P., the Rev. J. S. Ogle, Archdeacon Scott, and Colonel Bell. Dr. HEADLAM moved that Mr. Ord take the chair, which was carried by acclamation. Dr. FENWICK regretted that some more able person, and some person more connected with the county of Northum berland, had not come forward to fulfil the important duty th,:t he had undertaken. It was with pride, however, that he din undertake it. The Doctor concluded , by moving the first revolution, which was seconded by the Rev. J. S. Ogle.—(The first and second resolutions expressed the grateful feelings ,:nd admiration of the district, and de clared the necessity erecting a monument or statue to testify those feelings.) ,s . ir H. Williamson rose to move the second resolution, which ,he did with great pleasure. He was gratified to find that thc; county of Northumber land, the native county of Earl Grey, Aid not intend to re main behind hand in testifying that gratiOde to which the Noble Earl's services entitled him. From his (Sir H.'s) residence in a neighbouring county, he was weal acquainted with the character and virtues of the Noble EarL It gave him the greatest gratification to observe that during the short time he had been in Parliament lie had followed the principles of Earl Grey—that whenever he had an oppor tunity of witnessing and understanding the actions old principles of that Nobleman, the greater was his cont. dence in him ; and when he withdrew from power, no one felt more than be did the regret that any thing should cause him to decide upon aandoning the Pre miership, in which situation he had conferred so many benefits upon his country, more, indeed, than had been effected for the last 300 years. Sir H. having moved the resolution, it was seconded by Dr. Headlain. The worthy Doctor then proceeded to read letters from Mr. Bigge, Mr. Beaumont, Mr. Craster, Mr. B. Grey, Sir John Swinburne, Lord Durham, and Mr. H. Mitcalfe, all stating their intention to subscribe, and expressing in the warmest terms their approval and admiration of the conduct of Earl Grey. The letter of Mr. Beaumont communicating his determination to subscribe one hundred sovereigns was re ceived with loud applause. G. Baker, Esq., of Elemore, in proposing the 3d resolution, hoped they would raise a mo nument worthy of the Noble Earl, that when they looked at it, they might say " We should never see his like again." R. Ingham, Esq., proposed the 4th resolution, which was seconded by G. T. Dunn, Esq. ; W. H. Ord, Esq. the sth, seconded by G. Silvertop, Esq. ; and Sir W. M. Ridley proposed the thanks of the meeting to the chairman, se conded by Colonel Bell, and carried by acclamation. Mr. Ingham, Mr. W. H. Ord, and Sir M. W. Ridley, spoke of the Noble Earl in a manner which causes us to regret ex tremely that want of time and room compel us to omit their observations. Before the company left the room about 5001. was subscribed. FIRE IN TRINITY-STREET. On Saturday night, or rather on Sunday morning, a fire broke out in the house in Trinfty-street occupied by Mr. Nolan, publican, by which the interior of the premises were reduced to heap of ashes, and nothing left remaining but the mere skeleton walls. It appears that, at about half-past five o'clock on Sunday morning, peace-constable Thomas Stevens, of the Head Police-office, was passing down Tri nity-street, when his attention was attracted by a body of thick smoke issuing from the windows of the public-house at the corner of the street. He immediately set about alarm ing the inmates, which, after some knocking, he effected. rl he only inhabitants in the house were two boys, who with some difficulty made their way into the street. Stevens, when he had succeeded in his first object, with very com mendable activity hastened to College-street police office, from which the most prompt assistance was immediately fur nished. Messengers were dispatched for the different fire engines in the neighbourhood, which were on the spot within about twenty minutes from the first discovery. Meantime, however, the fire, which appears to have originated in the lower part of the house by the bursting of a gas pir, was forcing its unrestricted passage upwards, and had already communicated with the "spirits" which were in some large vessels in the cellar. The conflagration produced by the ignition of a large quantity of such inflammable material , was appalling. The flames rushed upwards with irresistible I fury, and quickly reached every part of the building. Such was the terrible intensity of the fire, that the walls seemed every moment as if about to burst asunder from the force and fury of the terrific conflagration that was mingling every thing within in one mass of ruin. Several engines were on the spot, and though plied with unremitted ac tivity, and furnished with a plentiful supply of wate-, they availed not, in the smallest degree, in checking the fury and fierceness of the fire. When this was found utterly hope less, every exertion was used to prevent its spread to the contiguous buildings, and with the most fortunate success. A party of military, we believe from the George's-street Barracks, soon arrived at the place, and, together with the police, did all in their power to render every assistance. The house, with the exception of a portion of the walls, was reduced to ashes, and, at a late hour yesterday even ing, was a mass of smoking ruins, upon which some of the fire-engines were still playing. We fear that none of the property was saved. We have not heard whether the loss was extensive, but, we understand, the premises were in sured. Considering the violence and fury with which the fire raged during the combustion of a large quantity of whiskey contained in the vaults, it is most fortunate and providential that its dreadful and destructive progress was prevented from extending to the neighbouring houses.— Freeman's Journal. EVIL EFFECTS OF SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS. In every country in the present age spirituous liquors are indulged in to a blameable excess. This reproach applies to every class of society, and perhaps indeed more to the higher than the lower orders. The tables of the rich in modern days are almost always laid, out as if debauchery alone was to preside there. Classes of every shape and rich decanters crowd the board ; and we should perhaps be accused of want of taste, if we refused to overload the sto mach with the most inflammatory liqueurs. The medical world have repeatedly deprecated this murderous system, but in vain ; vice, and our passions, more powerful than their counsels, have perpetuated this highly injurious habit. Many old people may attribute the indisposition which tor ments them to this pernicious use of spirituous liquors. If they are useful in very cold and dry warm countries, by sus taming the strength and stimulating the vital powers of the stomach, they are very bad in such climates as ours, inso much as they derange the sensitive system and affect the cerebral functions. They give rise also to cutaneous and and stomachic disorders, contracting, drying, and hardening all the living solids, and inducing premature old age. Per sons of a sanguine and sedentary habit, who have been ad dicted to their use and abuse, are particularly liable to pains in the back and loins, caused almost always by the exist ence of stone. Old persons, annoyed by bad digestion or flatulency, foolishly imagine that spirituous liquors alone can rid them of these inconveniences. Let them only them selves examine into the consequences : a very short time will have elapsed before they will discover that the result is not what they anticipated. If these liquors do appear at first to strengthen those who fly to them for relief, it is but to bring them at last to a state of weakness almost incur able.—Rules for the Health of the Aged. DUBLIN AND KINGSTOWN RAILWAY.-011 Saturday the first trial of the steam-engine " Vauxhall," with a small train of carriages filled with ladies and gentlemen, was made on the line of railway from Dublin to the Martello Tower, at Williamstown. It was eminently successful, not only as to the rapidity of the motion, ease of conveyance, and facility of stopping, but the celerity and quickness with which the train passed, by means of the " Shunts," frcm one line of road to another. The distance was over two miles, which was performed in a very few minutes; and the ease with which the train was brought from the most rapid motion to a complete stop was the surprise of every one that witnessed it. —Freeman's Journal. SLATE AND FLAG QUARRIES.—Thc quarries now working on the Knight of Kerry's estate at Valentia, are proceeding prosperously. The slate is as good as any in Great Britain, and the flags, in size and quality , su p erior to any hitherto discovered in Ireland, and in such demand that largo oantities of them have been exported to the West Indies.— Cor - lt Southern Reporter.
