14 1,-„,„ bear.) In darkness and in sorrow ' he bad not despaired, and be should not begin to despair of her in her hour of sunshine.---(Cheers.) He would not deserve to sit among them as their guest if he entertained for a moment so inglorious a feeling. He would tell his P.4.,1P-Atrymen when next he saw them, that they never had, "fade cause to despair as at the p r e s e n t mo m en t. Tl e of hope was raised to their lips, and he could ii„ t ~-; ontern dashed to the ground o: litaste plate its being d. Ile had appeared before them that day in tYie character of counsel for his native land ; and from elle kind attention and respect with which they bad listn e d to each word as it fell from his lips, he felt assured that he might with confidence announce to his fellow-countrymen in Ireland that the sea which had before divided the t.vo countries was effectually dried up, aed that they both now formed but the one land. The Hon. Gen tleman, in adverting to the character of the representatives of Nottingham, passed the following eulogium upon Sir Ronald Ferguson :—You have sent into Parliament a gal lant soldier, brave as his own sword, honest as chivalry ever produced, free from that severity which military discipline is wont too frequently to impart, adorned with all the vir tues of the British soldier, but possessing none of his faults. The strongest proof of the patriotic sentiments and sterling rectitude of the men of Nottingham was their selection of such a man as their representative. The Hon. Gentleman then sat down, after speaking for exactly forty-five minutes. The CifiismArt begged to claim their cordial_ concur rence in what he had to propose to them. ASter the elo quent address which they had just beard it would be bad taste indeed if he attempted, by any &,servation of his, to weaken its effect. He would therer.nre give them, without much of preface, " Our brethren, the Reformers of Ire land, and success to their endeavours to obtain equal laws for the three kinpdoms." This toast, 'g as drank with great enthusiasm. The CgAlamArt then proposed, " Sir R. Ferguson, and the other Liberal Members for the town and county of Nottingham in the House of Commons." Sir It. FERGUSON said that it gave him great happiness to present some few days since, in the House of Commons, a petition signed by 6,000 of the honest men of Notting ham, in favour of Irish corporate reform. The inhabitants of Nottingham had ever been foremost atnong the assertors of civil and religious liberty ; and he was proud to see the inhabitants of that town, of which he was the representa tive in the House of Commons, thus asserting their supe riority over those antiquated notions of sectarian prejudices which constituted so great a social evil in these kingdoms.— (Hear, hear.) After some further remarks, the Hon. and Gallant Member said he thought it was his duty, liaving been a member of the Carlow committee of inquiry, to state that a more unfounded calumny never - proceeded from the lips of man than the aspersion wt:teb it had been sought to cast upon the Honourable 'Member for Dublin, with reference' to that transaction s -He (Sir Ronald Ferguson) would tell them honestly and shortly that his mind was made up, and that his ttiorough conviction was, that it was one of the foulest conspiracies that ever was concocted by a dyin g faction.—(E - athusiastic cheering.) They were threat enedwith a revival of that subject in the House of Com mons. He trusted in God that that inquiry would not come on, for the wretched tools of the faction would, in that event, be so exposed, as to render their condition truly melancholy.—(Hear, hear.) He had the names of seve ral persons, some of whom moved in the highest and some in the lowest circles, who were implicated in this conspiracy. He had the names of some individuals who were employed to get up evidence with the hellish (he had almost said) de sicxn of traducing a great patriot's reputation. In conclu sion be begged to assure them of the honest pride he felt in representing a town which was always foremost in the ranks of civil and religioas liberty. He trusted that the "No Popery" cry would now cease at once and for ever. The Gallant General sat down amidst the most enthusi astic cheers. Lord RANCLIFFE then proposed, with all the honours, the health of their worthy Chairman. Drank with applause. The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks. The next toast was, " Colonel Thompson and the Re formers of Hull." • ------ The GALLANT COLONEL returned thanks, amid loud applause. The healths of " Lord Rancliffe," " Colonel Wildman," " Mrs. O'Connell and family," and " The Ladies of Not tingham," were then proposed by the Chairman, and drunk with three times three and all the honours. The Chairman, accompanied by Mr. O'Connell and the several distinguished individuals who had occupied seats at the principal table, then left the room(shortly before eleven o'clock), and were almost immediately followed by the rest of the Compar.y. There never was a social meeting of this description which passed off in a manner so calculated completely to gratify the individuals who superintened its arrangements. ENGLISH ROUTS AND LONDON WOMEN. Mrs. A. had appointed me to call upon her at eleven o'clock in the evening to introduce me to the Duke of D. (Devonshire). This, therefore, was the first English rout at which I was present. Of course, it must be more inter esting to one who is acquainted with the company than to a stranger ; but, on the other hand, the novelty adds to the interest, and, from this superficial but natural view, I will repeat, what you must, indeed, have often heard already. The apartments and the arrangements were grand and magnificent, but such as a very rich man makes for his whole life, without regard to petty fashions, changes of taste, and such French frippery, The rooms not too small for the number of persons invited ; but, as else where, the greatest heat and the greatest crowd in the vicinity of the ball-room. Almost all the gentlemen wore black coats, pantaloons, black or grey stockings, black or coloured waistcoats, and black or white stocks. There was nothin remarkable or different from our customs ; even all the cancers wore pantaloons. The ladies were, on the wb.ole, dressed with simplicity and taste—their pearl and diamond necklaces, and other ornaments, were rich ; but they were, in no case, overloaded with them. Necks and shoulders uncovered ; some had long ringlets, but none wore the hair a la adnoise, or the, forehead quite bare— most of them had curls on bot 3 sides; as represented in the engravings. Hardly any t/•,:ing was danced but waltzes, the room for which was much narrowed by the crowding of the spectators. And tow, you ask, what do you say of the main point, the 'beauty of the women ? Paris, who has earned his fa me so cheaply, had a much more easy task of decidins,; 'between his three goddesses, than I have. Though sp.tctacles are very little worn in company, or in London generally, I nevertheless took courage, put on mine, and commen ce d my exam i nat i on, as a true lover and connoisseur. When, however, I had determined that one particular lady was the most beautiful, a second and a third came and upset all my decisions. In my whole life I have not seen so many beautiful women in ou • place, and I can now 'understand Tieck's predilection for English women. Yet, even in this moment of enthw::iasm and excitement, I do not forget Roman women. I'l certain resemblance ex ists between tha two nations, though by no means in simi larity of form and expressio n , The Roman females (it would seem) neglect their - waist, hips, and feet ; those of England, the carriage of the neck and shoulders. The men, yesterday, were certainly less handsome than the women, which is also ',lle case in Berne, while in Naples, again, the men are much handsomer than the women. The company consisted of the richest and most .distin guished people, 13 1.114e5, Ambassadors, &c. Among us, the three hundred 1- filiforms would have been covered with crosses, star., P.nd orders ; here there was nothing of the sort. Nearly e very one that was so decked was a foreigner. —Rau mur's England. - RIVET% LYNHER.—The fame for mining riches so long and ix) justly attributed to the river Tamar, whose banks have T.olded such immense masses of sister, copper, tin, and lead, 7 .l.ppeiszs likely t o be ri*alled in som e d egree by the sister river Lynher. To the north -.east of St. Germans, and about two-thirds t distance fre, m that town in the direction of Crlllitigton, mining oprrations are very active, especially in the park'a of Quiti.otock, in which Wheal Eurabeth, and Whe...;,.1 Went Hooe, are supposed t o b e t h e most e li g ib le min irc; tdventures.

LORI) LYNDHURST AS A SPEAKER.—Lord Lyndh tvst cannot be said in the usual sense of the term, to be an eloquent spcal,:er. His manner is infinitely too cold and form a l to give that effect to his matter, which, when spoken, wcikild deserve the name of a high order of eloquence. When Vs speeches are read, however, many p'Assages commend themselves to one's mind as instinct with eloquence of a su perior class. His style is clear, perspi'euous, and simple in no ordinary degree. It has a good cteal of the Addison in it; it is always correct; it is polished, without being elabo rately so. He speaks with marvellous ease ; his sentences -flow from him copiously and naturally; he scarcely ever has to recal a word, nor could the most fastidious ear detect one out of plac's, neither t in the course of a long speech. His delivery is too slow nor too rapid; time. he never speaks long at a !in comparison with the length at which some other !C • 01 1;te Lords wou ld address the House on the same su b ject. r4e is always listened to with the deepest attention by Noble Lords of all shades of politics. The moment he rises, all is quiet; and not a breath i s to 1 - • o heard till he has resumed his seat. Independently of his universally acknowledged talents as a debater, there is something in his very appearance and manner calculated to command attention and respect. He bas a fine manly figure, and the moment he rises and com mences his speech, there is, in addition to a very intelligent countenance, a manifafit consciousness of his own intellectual superiority—without any thing having the slightest resem blance to conceit—which cannot fail of ensuring attention and respect from all preseut.—Bandom Recollections of the House of Lords. 4* ' R* ~: -pm, PKict , s Q 1 * . ruck.. l ,,Tpis, 1)11 AT ONE O'CLOCK. mnk ‘4 , ''.

Those honouring Heine Brothers by purchasing, may depend on their strictest secrecy as to their taking a chance or getting a Prize, such ueing the undeviating rule of the old established and most lucky office.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, 1836. The Official Tables of the public Revenue for the year and quarter ended yesterday, will be found in another part of The Sun. They are extremely fa vourable. Notwithstanding the great reduction of taxation, the income for the year shows an increase of 82,401/. ; and for the quarter an increase of 221,6191. over the preceding corresponding periods. The in crease upon the whole of the Customs is 1,165,5621. on the year ; and 162,961/. on the quarter. The Excise shews on the year a decrease of 429,5701. ; but on the quarter there is an increase of 175,738/. The Stamp Revenue has proved very productive both for the year and quarter. The total increase on the year is 47,6351. ; and on the quarter 43,497/. The Post Office department shows an increase on the year of 39,000/. ; and 7,000/. on the quarter. In the income arising from the Assessed Taxes, there is a considerable falling off, both on the year and quarter. The decrease on the former is 692,404/. ;on the latter 56,300/. The Miscellaneous show an increase of 8,999/. on the year, and 5,755/. on the quarter. The Boards of Public Works are consii derably in arrear with respect to the repayment of loans granted by the Government. The falling-off in the repayment of loans for the year and quarter just ended is 56,8211. on the former ; and 117,032/. on the latter. Thus the condition of the country is not so desperate as the Tories would have the people believe. The Go vernment has surmounted the financial obstacles with which it was ere this to have been overwhelmed, had the Conservative organs been other than false pro phets. What must naturally increase the wonder of the people of Great Britain is, that the trade and commerce of the British empire was never in a more flourishing condition than it has been since Mr. o S f PR th I e NG RlCE'SExchequ Exchequer. appointment T t im t e h s e is Ch a ncellorship o admit in its notice of the revenue returns for the year and quarter just ended, that the financial prospect is by no means unfavourable," The G o-vernment now sees that the most effectual way to iu crease the public revenue is to lower the taxes —a proposition which would have puzzled the wisest hi _!ads among our wise ancestors. There is no method of filling the state coffers equal to that of treb ling, of quadrupling col3sumption. Whatever increases eonsurni )tion improves the national revenue, enriches individua Is, and adds t 0 the conveniences and comforts THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6,4836. of the community at large. This important financial maxim has influenced the financial policy of the pre sent Government since its accession to .. vaall;G• The Third Report of the Commissioners for in quiring into the condition of the Poorer Classes in Ire land, has been printed, and is now before us. We regret that a day or two must elapse before we can have an opportunity of republishing it for the benefit of our readers. In the meantime we shall select a few extracts from it, with a view to make the inhabitants of Great Britain acquainted with the real condition of their poor fellow-subjects in Ireland. We are sensible that there is a strong feeling abroad in favour of the Irish labourers ; and we are anxious to make it sub servient to the advancement of national justice. Those who cannot find a cause for the discontent, the misery, and the crime of Ireland in the following extract from he Report of the Commissioners, know little of human lature : It appears that in Groat Britain the agricultural families constitute little more than a fourth, while in Ireland they constitute about two-thirds of the whole population ; that there were in Great Britain, in 1831, 1,055,982 agricultural labourers, in Ireland 1,131,715, although the cultivated land of Great Britain amounts to about 34,250,000 acres, and that of Ireland only to about 14,600,000. We thus find that there are in Ireland about five agri cultural labourers for every two that there are for the same quantity of land in Great Britain. It further appears, that the agricultural produce of Great Britain is more than four times that of Ireland ; that agri cultural wages vary from 6d. to ls. a day ; that the average of the country in general is about Sid. ; and that the earnings of the labourers come, on an average of the whole class, to from 2s. to 2s. 6d. a-week, or thereabouts, for the year round. Thus circumstanced, it it impossible for the able-bodied in general, to provide against sickness or the temporary ab sence of employment, or against old age or the destitution of their widows and children, in the contingent event of their own premature decease. A great portion of them are insufficiently provided at any time with the commonest necessaries of life. Their habitations are wretched hovels, several of a family sleep together upon straw or upon the bare ground, sometimes with a blanket, sometimes even without so much to cover them ; their food commonly consists of dry potatoes, and with these they are at times so scantily supplied, as to be obliged to stint themselves to one spare meal in the day. There are even instances of persons being driven by hunger to seek sustenance in wild herbs. Ley sometimes get a herring, or a little milk, but they never get meat, except at Christmas, Easter, or Shrovetide. Some go in search of employment to Great Britain during the harvest, others wander through Ireland, with the same view. The wives and children of many are occasionally obliged to beg ; they do so reluctantly, and vith shame, and in general go to a distance from home, that they may not be known. Mendicancy, too, is the sole resource of the aged and impotent of the poorer classes in general, when children or relatives are unable to support tlem. To it, there fore, crowds are driven for the mean; of existence ; and the knowledge that such is the fact bads to an indiscri minate giving of alms, which encour%es idleness, impos ture, and general crime. Such is the condition of the poo' in Ireland 1 But what, it may be asked, has producel this state of ex treme wretchedness ? The people must have in them the germs of this prevailing misery—it must result from their habits or their creed--otherwise how could they be so much worse off than the inha)itants of England and Scotland ? This is .the usual Tory cant when ever the sufferings of the Irish po)r are alluded to. But no ; the people of Ireland have not produced the misery under which they have so long languished. It is one of the many results of the pent! code—the bitter fruit of a tree implanted by Eng,lish bigotry, and saturated with Irish blood. Thus, after centuries of oppression, the poisoned chalice, o which we com pelled Ireland to drink so deeply, returns to our own lips ; and in the full consciousness of the danger, we are forced to quaff it to the very dregs. The humiliating acknowledgment is thus made by the Commissioners : It may be said that England, with the poor-law system we condemn, has become a great and flourishing country, while Ireland, without it, is in a state of semi-barbarism. The fact is undoubtedly so. But because extraordinary strength has withstood poison, it does not follow that poison should be prescribed as a remedy for weakness. The true cause of the greatness of England is to be found in her free constitution. It is the spirit of that constitution which, long and happily enjoyed, gives to England the energies she possesses, enables her to subdue any vice that may from time to time get into her system, and keeps her constantly ascending in the general scale of civilization. Unfortu nately it is only of late years, and by slow degrees, that it has been allowed to diffuse itself through the mass of the people of Ireland. For nearly the whole of the last cen tury they were governed by a code, the policy of which was to keep them in poverty and ignorance, and which was per fect for its purpose. It was, to use the words of Mr. Burke, " a machine of wise and elaborate contrivance ; and as well fitted for the oppression, impoverishment, and de gradation of a people, and the debasement in them of hu man nature itself, as ever proceeded from the perverted in genuity of man." Although it is now no more, it has left behind it habits and dispositions which are opposed to im provement, and we should consider ourselves accessories to a continuance of them if we attempted to guarantee to the labourer pauper-support, instead of endeavouring to render him independent of it." No honest Englishmen can read this extract without blushing for the misdeeds of his so-oft lauded ances tors ; nor can he dismiss it from his mind without re solving to do his utmost to procure justice for Ireland. What Ireland is, England would become, under the same system of coercive government. Nay, we are persuaded, that for one outrage committed in Ireland, there would be ten of a more heinous kind committed in this country, were the populace exposed to half the privations and provocations with which the Irish are constantly familiar. Nor would we blame them for such excesses. Ireland has endured, and continues to endure, what no high-minded nation ought to submit to, unless by compulsion. Laws for the abrogation of human liberty are only binding upon slaves. A free people is bound by the principle which guarantees freedom itself to resist them at any sacrifice. With regard to the relief to be granted to the poor in Ireland, the Commissioners find that they have many difficulties to contend with, of which they ap pear to have had no idea prior to this investigation. The remedy has been so long delayed, that the case is nearly desperate. The following is their own account of the embarrassments which beset them at the very outset : We cannot estimate the number of persons in Ireland out of work and in distress—during thirty weeks of the year—at less than 585,000, nor the number of persons de pendent upon them at less than I,Boo,ooo—making in the whole 2,385,000. This, therefore, is about the number for which it would be nece ssary to provide accommod a ti on i n wor kh ouses , if all who require relicf were there to be relieved; and we consider it morally, indeed physic a lly, i m p oss ibl e so to pro vide for such a multitude, or even to attempt it with safety. The expense of erecting and fitting up the necessary buildings would come to about 4,000,000/., and allowing for the maintenance of each person 24d. only a day, that being the expense of the Mendacity Establi s h ment of Dublin,° and at other similar establishments in Ireland, the cost of supporting the whole 2,385,000 for thirty weeks annually would be something more than 5,000,000/. a year ; whereas the gross rental of Ireland (exclusive of towns is public esti mated a t less than 10,000,000/. a y ear ; the net income of the landlords is only nabtoulets4s,tohoaon,o6o,oolo.o,oool. ; We do not, however, think that such an amount of i ) bc re venue ex penses as we have mentioned would, in point o f f ac t, be incurred ; on the contrary, our conviction is, th a t th e able bodied in general, an d their families, would endure, any misery rather than make a workhouse their domicile. Now if we thought that employment could be had, provided due efforts were made to procure it, the general repugnance to a workhouse would be a reason for recommending that mode of relief, for assistance. could be afforded through it to the few that might from time to time . fall into distress, and yet no temptation be offered. to idleness or improvidence ; but we see that the labouring class are eager for work, that work there is not for them, and that they are therefore, and not from any fault of their own, in permanent want. This is a frightful prospect ; and many will turn away from it in disgust, if not in despair. But the 1 Commissioners see in the untried resources of Ireland, managed by a Board of Directors, and superintended by the Legislature, the means of relieving, and finally of the labouring popula- --",t Ut removing me tion. For this purpose they recommend the appu..- ment of a Board of Poor Law Commissioners, and Assistant-Commissioners, with the same paY.'ers in Ireland as Parliament has vested in that body in England : that this Board shall commence its labours by dividing Ireland into districts; to be placed under the controul of local Boards that these dis tricts shall be all measured and valued, and that the Commissioners shall be empowered to levy a rate upon each district, proportionate to its valuation. The money thus raised is to be expended in supporting the indigent, and in reclaiming the waste lands. As it may be impossible to collect the tax thus levied upon the land, in time to defray the expenses of the new system, provision is to be made for borrowing it from the State—the debt being converted into shares purchasable by private individuals. Vagrancy is to be put down with a strong hand ; and encouragement given to those who may desire to emigrate. With respect to the other remedies, we must await another occasion for detailing them. Meanwhile we call upon the Irish Press to exert itself in the cause of the poor—to establish its claims to those legislative indul gences it considers as manifestly its due. If we have declined to vie with it in abuse, the cause is not to be found in our indifference to the welfare of Ireland. When the Irish Press evinces a more lively interest in the advancement of the welfare of the Irish people than does The Sun—then, and then only, will we ad mit that our claim to the notice of the people of Ire land is not equal to that of her local journals. A public dinner was given to Mr. O'CONNELL on Monday last, by the Reformers of Nottingham, greatly to the annoyance of the small knot of Tories in that town, who showed their uncontrollable spleen by issu ing a variety of placards against the lion. and Learned Gentleman, which, however, had no other effect, than that of encreasing, if possible, the enthusiasm of his welcome. Never were such an unfortunate, predes tined race, as these same Tories. Every fresh effort they make to redeem themselves in public opinion, has just the contrary effect. When, for instance, they formally announce their anxiety for the reformation of all abuses in Church and State, not a soul believes them ; and when, in order to prove the sincerity of their zeal on this point, they propose the wholesale de struction of the Irish Corporations, they are laughed to scorn, as men fit only to become the patients of Dr. WARBURTON in Bedlam. Equally unlucky are they in their hypocritical attacks on Mr. O'CONNELL. It was but the other day that they had made sure of being able to 'convict him at the bar of public opinion, with, reference to the Carlow affair ; but with their usual for tune, they just reversed the case, and instead of convicting him of peculation, convicted themselves of conspiracy. Sir RONALD FERGUSSON, allud ing to this circumstance at the Nottingham dinner, well observed, " he thought it his duty, having been a member of the Carlow Committee of Inquiry, to state that a more unfounded calumny never proceeded from the lips of man, than the aspersion which it had been sought to cast upon the Member for Dublin, in regard to that transaction. He would tell them, honestly and shortly, that his mind was made up, and that his tho rough conviction was, that it was one of the foulest conspiracies that ever was concocted by a dying fac tion. He had the names of several persons, some of whom moved in the highest, and some in the lowest circles, who were implicated in this conspiracy. He had the names of some individuals, he repeated, who were employed to get up evidence with the hellish de sign of traducing a great patriot's reputation." In his own speech, which preceded Sir RONALD FERGU SON'S, Mr. O'CONNELL made no allusion to this Tory conspiracy against him—thinking, no doubt, that the faction being already in articulo mortis, were no longer worth powder and shot. He was, however, ex plicit and communicative on the subject of his con nection with the Ministry--a connection which, let the Conservatives say what they will, is equally honour able to both parties—observing, " I am a Radical, but I want to rally the Radicals round the standard of the Whigs, for I am thoroughly convinced that a set of men does not exist, more thoroughly determined to work out, quietly but peacefully, the principle of Re form in every department of the State, than his MA JESTY'S present Ministry. I believe them to be wise ; I know them to be good. Every measure which they have adopted has been carefully digested, and carried maturely into effect. They are the sincere friends of Reform. This is my thorough conviction." Yes, and it is this very conviction on Mr. O'Corr- NELL'S mind that so infuriates the Tories. They see that he supports Ministers, not from caprice, but prin ciple ; and that the league between the two is only to be broken by some gross dereliction on the part of Go vernment, of which at present the Tories, with all their foresight, cannot see the slightest chance. Hence, we repeat, the hatred which these men bear to the very mention of Mr. O'CoNNELL's name. Yet they trem ble at his power, even while they profess to set it at nought: They cannot but feel that while his vast moral influence continues unimpaired, there is no hope for them ; but that they must be still doomed to wither in " the cold shade" of Opposition,—they who have all their lives been in the habit of basking in the sunshine of the Treasury Bench. What makes their prospect, if possible, still worse, is the moderation and sagacity that characterize all Mr. O'CoNNEL l.'s views. The utmost malice of party spirit cannot now object to him, that he is either a le veller or a revolutionist. He asks nothing, he says, but justice for Ireland ; and !though .a stanch Radical, is willing to make every sacrifice in which principle and consistency are not involved, to support a Minis try which has shewn such a sincere desire to promote the people's welfare. He is no longer the hot-headed Repealer, on whom the Tories so confidently specu lated, as being unable from his Ultra-Radical views, to coalesce with any Whig Administration. He has disappointed them cruelly in this, as in every other re spect, and will consequently, we need hardly add, be never forgiven by them. Luckily, however, for his own peace of mind, he, prefers their hatred to their for giveness, and long may he continue to revel in the full fruition of the former ! Of the Parisian Journals only three were published on Monday, in consequence of the celebration of the Easter festival. We have, therefore, no intelligence of any moment from the French Capital. In its sitting of the 4th instant, the Chamber of De puties received, with murmurs of disapproba tion, a project of law submitted to it by the Minister of Finance, for placing the manufacture of Beet-root Sugar under the surveillance of the excise officers, and making the sugar so manufactured liable to a certain amount of duty. P A RIS, APRIL 3.—The Moniteur du Comnierce, which now takes for its principle title La Paix, was seized yester day, for not having complied with the formalities which the law prescribes when a journal alters its title. The Emancipateur de Flandres and L' Artois, informs us that its number of the 20th of March has given occasion to a prosecution, by the tribunal of Douai, on an accusa tion of attempting to excite hatred and contempt of the Government. The Liberal do Nord has the following article :—" We are informed that the Societe du Commerce, composed of about 300 tradesmen of the city, and which directed its at tention to the manufacturing interests of the place, has just received orders from the high authorities immediately to dissolve itself, with a threat of the application of the law against associations. We shall wait for positive informa tion respecting a fact of such serious importance, before we attempt to appreciate its causes or its consequences."

CHURCH RATES.—On Saturday last the church wardens of Beccles held a Meeting, at which, after examining the estimates for the ensuing year, which had been prepared, they agreed that a rate of 4d. in the pound would be suffi cient, and resolved to move it at the ensuing Vestry Meeting on Easter Monday. Before that Meeting was held it became generally understood that the Dissenters had resolved on op posing the making of any rate, and were able to bring a ma jority on their own side of three to one. Accordingly, on Monday last, the vestry was crowded with parishioners, and the parties were arrayed for the contest, when Mr. Garnham, the Churchwarden, rose, and stated, that as he was not pre pared with the necessary estimates, they had resolved to advise a postponement of the subject. In this case the Churchmen dared not come to the contest, and the field was left in the possession of their antagonists. It is very certain that a Church -rate will never be again known in Beccles. At four in the morning of the 26th ult., a shock of an earthquake was felt at Fribourg, succeeded by a violent gale from the west. As lately as the middle of last week the snow near Bangor lay from four to five feet deep, rendering the roads in some places for a time impassable. Sir Michael Shaw Stewart is said to have pur chased from the Earl of Eglinton the estate of Eaglesham, at 240,0001.—Scotch Paper. PARISH OF CLERKENWELL.—Yesterdav a Vestry meeting was held in the church for the election of Parish officers and making a poor -rate. Reformers were elected to the different offices ; and it was agreed that 12,45/. 6s. Gd. should be raised for ithe relief of the poor for the year by a Is. 10d. rate ; last year the sum raised was 14,0001. Steam boats must certainly offer the most desirable mode of conveyance in America, if it be true, as stated by a recent tourist, that no person ever travelled 100 miles by land in that country without being overturned. The whole of the ashes at the late fire in Bur lington Arcade are undergoing a careful sifting, which has already been the means of recovering various portions of jewellery. At a recent ball given in Paris, a serious accident occurred which ought to serve as a caution to the devotees to waltzing. The young and beautiful Princess de Belgiojoso was waltzing with M. de La Villegontier, eldest son of the Peer of that name, when, from the rapidity with which they were whirling, both fell at full length on the floor. The prin cess was raised, c overed with blushes, but Monsieur V., in en deavouring to sustain the Princess, had his shoulder dislo cated, the whole weight of the Princess having fallen on his right arm. Prompt medical aid being obtained, the limb was reset, and tho patient is doing well, T T. CENTRAL CRIMINAL C THIS DAY. (Before Mr. Justice PATTEsoN.)
