The performances last evening were for the benefit of Lucile Grahn, and the house was crowded by those who were anxious to do honour to the talent of the youn Dane. The opera was La Gazza Ladra, with Grrisi as Ninetta, Brambilla as Pippo, Mario as G ianetto, Fornasari as Fernando, and Lablache as the Podesta. It is needless to add that it was performed in a style which cannot be equalled upon any other lyrical stage in Europe. Between the acts of the opera we had a pis de quatre, the composition of the fair beneficiare herself, in which she bore a prin cipal part, and in which she was rapturously applauded. The Dansueses:Viennoisses introduced two new pas— the Pas de Rococo and the Pas des Amours, and repeated the Pas des Miroirs. They exerted themselves to the utmost, as, in fact, they were in duty bound to do, for Lucile Grahn did them good service in composing the exquisite ballet of Kaya, more for them than for herself, and which affords them such admirable op portunities of displaying their powers. The favourite pas de six, from this ballet, was also given in the course of the evening. The great treat, however, was Un Bal sous Louis XIV., in which Lucile Grahn ap peared for the first time as the Cavalier, supported by Cerito, as La Dame. These two delightful artistes danced together the Minuet and Gavotte, in the most quaint and fascinating style imaginable. Lucile Grahn looked exceedingly well in her male attire. La Nena, too, danced El Ole, a national Spanish dance, perhaps the most original pas in which that celebrated danseuse has yet ap peared. Then we had La Cracovienne, danced in the most espiegle manner imaginable by Lucile Grahn. Madame Anaide Castellan sang the finale to La Sonnambula. Cerito gave us the Pas de l'Ombre, from Ondine ; and the whole concluded with the Mazourka d'Extase, from Eoline, and never did Lucile Grahn appear to greater advantage than she did in this last pas. Her dancing was perfect, her acting beautiful. COURT CIRCULAR.

The Morning Chronicle, whether actuated by an ambition of toadying the Times, and abstract to the Moi-ning Herald, or a wish to piiff off its friend Mr. Mazzini, we cannot say ; but from one or other of these three motives, which ever it was, the Morning Chronicle yesterday made a most unjust and a perfectly unprovoked attack upon this journal. The Morning Chronicle charged the Morning Herald with having denounced the Times' scandalous con duct towards Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, solely as one mounte bank deprecates the drugs of another mountebank. The writer of this insulting charge knew that he was writing a falsehood when he wrote it—knew that the Morning Herald never touched upon the disgraceful conduct of the Times towards Mr. Talfourd until that dis graceful conduct had led to consequences directly affecting the whole newspaper press in its interest, in its character, and In its rank. Let not the Morning Chro nicle palliate its own timid truckling to the Times for twelve days, by charging our different conduct to an unworthy mo tive. As to Mr. Mazzini, against whom we or the Standard, it is not clearly stated which, is charged by the Morning Chronicle to have " concocted some vill a i ny, " we deny that we have ever made any unauthorised charge against him, or withheld any testimony in his favour. Oar own opi nion of the individual is unaltered by anything that we have seen, and we will not tell lies even to disarm his resentment or the anger of the Morning Chronicle. If the party has been wronged by us, let the wrong be shown, and we will repairit ; if no wrong on our part can be shown, we are not going to trump up a case for him.—Herald.

This is ;most use._ —ritten - in a light and full of practical information ; 'dittoing. It pleasing style, that instructs without heen is intended for the use of ladies who, having educated in town, find themselves unequal to the management of a country house ; to all such it must prove an invaluable acquisition. Every lesson that experience can afford —every improvement that fancy can suggest—is here set forth for the benefit of the young and ignorant. It is written in the form of letters, supposed to be addressed to a young lady just settled at an old country house. This renders the style familiar and interesting—it is no longer the dry reading of a book, but the kind suggestions of a thoughtful friend. Though intended as a companion for the country, it contains much general informa tion that will be useful for all persons and all situa tions. Beginning with the interior of the house, the first letters are devoted to the arrangement of furniture, the preservation of stores, &c. The fol lowing remarks on the care of fires will be found useful both in town and country : " In warming a room a good deal depends upon the mode of managing the tire. Servants are very apt to throw on a quantity of coals at once, in such a manner as to smother up the flame ; and, when this i 5 the case, the heated air produced by the imperfect combustion of the coals passes up the chimney with the smoke, and very little warmth enters the room. If, on the con trary, the coals are carefully arranged on the fire so as to allow a free current of air to pass through them, per fect combustion takes place, and the coals become a glowing mass, from which rays of light and heat spread in every direction ; while the cheerful appearance of a bright glowing fire must be felt by every one. Where an opportunity occurs of altering a fireplace, its capa bility for diffusing radiant heat will be greatly increased by making the back and sides of fire-brick or fire-stone; as these substances retain heat much longer than any kind of metal, and are consequently more likely to pre vent the fire from being chilled by the addition of fresh coal." We are next initiated into all the mysteries of the " Commissariat Department ;" besides instructions in the important arts of brewing, baking, making butter and cheese, &c., we have plain directions for domestic cookery, with numerous useful recipes. The care of a garden and the management of .flowers forms, of course, an important part in a "..guide for the coun try." There are many letters devoted to this inte resting subject, and the following remarks will be useful to those who prefer the busy town to the - quiet retreats of rural life : " The pleasures of the town and the country are, in deed, so different, that it requires some time to become accustomed to the change; but, when you are sufficiently well acquainted with country pursuits to take an in terest in them, I am sure you will never feel any want of the pleasures of the town. The great secret of being happy is, to be able to occupy ourselves with the objects *rowed us, so as to feel an interest in watching their changes; and, when you can once do this is your present situation, you will so longer complain of dulness or want of excitement. All that is wanted to give an interest in any subject is, a sufficient degree of knowledge respect ing it to be aware of its changes, and our own natural love of variety will do the rest. " It is a great advantage in a country life, that its principal objects of interest must be found at home; and hence, as home is woman's peculiar dominion, the noblest and the best feelings of the female heart are more likely to be called into action in the coun t r y th an in the town. In youth, especially , the ameliorating effects of country pursuits will soon be perceptible, both morally and physically." The principal charm of this work consists in the real instruction it affords. It is not a work of theory, but a series of practical lessons, and the style is at once so pleasing and so full of interest, as to render it not only a useful, but a most entertaining com panion for a country house. We doubt not it will tend to remove many of the prejudices entertained by the young and thoughtless with regard to the " dull monotony" of retirement. It shows that every situa tion has its pleasures and its duties; that happiness does not consist in external objects, and a quiet coun try life may afford an opportunity of exercising every Christian virtue, and obtaining the purest satisfaction and delight— " For more true joy Maroellus exiled feels Than Caesar with a senate at kis heels." The following advice with regard to the employment of the poor is worthy of attention : " The proprietor of a large estate ought to be regarded by the labouring cottagers in the light of a protector, to whom they can look up for advice and assistance in their troubles ; and as a friend upon whose kindness they may confidently rely, and who they know will be interested in their welfare. When this is the case, the tenantry of a country gentleman will form his best body guard ; and, instead of ever attempting, to injure his property, they will do all in their power to protect it. " It is the blessed privilege of wealth and rank that they give us the power of making our fellow•creaturee happy, with very trifling inconvenience to ourselves. A word or a kind look from the rich to the poor speaks volumes, and carries with it encouragement and plea sure, which no efforts of persons in their own rank in life can give. It is, however, difficult for the rich to know how to be of real service to the poor, as giving alms seldom does good except in eases of sudden and un foreseen distress. The best charity is first to teach the poor how to maintain themselves, and next to give them employment ; and, when they have this, they have a better chance of happiness than any riches could bestow combined with idleness. Perhaps, indeed, there is no state of existence more happy than that of a person who is usefully and profitably employed, and whose employ ment is of such a nature as to exercise moderately the faculties both of the body and the mind. " Many ladies in the country employ a portion of their time in making clothes for the poor ; but with the exception of permitting young people to make baby linen, I question whether it is advisable that much should be done in this way. The feelings of the poor are often hurt by having it dictated to them what they are to wear, and they are apt to look upon the clothes thus gives to them, and which are probably quite different from what they would have purchased fur themselves, almost as a badge of slavery which they are compelled to wear to plea,o their patrons, but of which they hate the very sight." We need hardly recommend this work to the " ladies of England," it has only to be known to be appreciated and admired. The following is an ex ample of the pleasing way in which Mrs. Loudon combines instruction with amusement : " You are perhaps not aware that a carriage is hung exactly ou the same principle as a hammock is suspended in a ship at sea, viz., to substitute a gentle and regular swinging motion for an irregular jerking one. The principle of suspending carriages is as old as the time of the Saxons ; but it has b een reser ved for modern days to break the f orce of inevit a bl e j o lts, by such a variety of pieces of elastic steel or s p r i ngs , as to render travel ling in a carriage as eas y as down in smooth river. Carriages, suchglaisditnhg n a boatos i ewe hstvenow use, are, as no doubt you know, quite a recent inven tion. You remember the celebrated letter of Henry IV., in which he says, I cannot come to you to-day, be cause my wife is using my coach ;' and even in the time of Charles 11. there were b u t fifty coaches in Lon don and Westminster. No w it would be rather difficult to count them, and it would even be a more tedious task than I should like to undertake to enumerate their kinds. I shall, therefore, content myself with mentioning the points that are of most importance in selecting a car riage. MAGAZINES—CONTINUED. SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE. In the present number there is an interesting ac count of "Agriculture in Hindostan," with particu lars relating to the cultivation of the sugar-cane. " A Few Hints on Foreign and Home Coloniza tion " is written by " One about to Emigrate," and he seems desirous of inducing others to follow his example ; attributing the general distress felt in so many parts of the country to over popula tion, he recommends emigration as a sure and certain remedy. Although some of his suggestions are worthy of attention, he seems to forget that, while he blames the League and others for offering but one panacea for so many evils, he himself falls into the same error. Colonization may b e a useful auxiliary in ameliorating distsess, , but it cannot effect any improvement b y itself. 4 4": he defenceless condition of Jamaica" forms the subject of a letter written to Lord Normanby, when Colonial Secretary : it is introduced at the present time in consequence of the disputes with America. " Great Britain and the United States " is also on the same subject : the writer seems to think that war is inevitable, and that it is " the duty of England to reduce America to submission, to divide the States, and loosen the bonds of slavery." FISHER'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE. This magazine is almost entirely devoted to matters of foreign and colonial interest. The first article is on e, the subject of the " Tr ade and Comme rce of Western Australia," from which it a pp ears that the last report from that colony was les s favourable th an usual. There oblu is an interesting descr i p tion of the " Neilgherries" In the a ccoun t of the " New Zealan d lan g ua g e," the writer ex presses a regret that t he ado p tion o f the English "Visit e to mountainstthe cale of o f G c ? o o d i m H b o a p t e o . r „ and also o f a language has been so long delayed, observing, " that the only way to really, and not nominally, christianize the aborigines, is first to teach them our language ; by degrees, they . will .adopt our habits, they will amalgamate, civilisation will follow, and Chris tianity, and probably our own form o f wors hi p, w i ll all occur as a matter o f course:' The moat interesting article in this number is on the subject of " Harbours ofa a very conci se de of Refuge ;" it contains a minute d escription of the floating breakwater o ff Bri g hton, from which we subjoin the following ex tract : a V i r ng he seription of it will be sufficient. In app earance i t re sembles two prisms , un ited at their b ases , the lower prism being equilatera l, and the u pper isosceles, the breakwater is construction s o simple, that t Captain T a yl er ' s fic angles at the base being 30 degrees, that being the de sired angle of the sloping top upon which the sea will break or become dispersed. The extreme dimensions are as follows: —namely, 60 feet long, 24 feet broad, and 27 feet deep. The structure is wholly of fir timber ; in eertain parts, between the double beams, cork is intro duced, to adjust the floating depth to its locality, and prevent oscillation. "It is impossible to contemplate this useful invention without being convinced of its efficiency ; nor can we help feeling surprised, that a plan so simple, in cornpari son with the vast importance of its object, has pot long since suggested itself to scientific men, whose minds have been directed to improve the commer cial ;, - ;!erests and naval resources of this country. The extraOrdindry eject of the cork between the double immersed beams, prevents the horizontal waves break ing over the breakwater, and enables any weight of chain being used to moor it, This trial proves that it does not ride with the third of the strain exerted on a `hip's cable at anchor, owing to the disposition and eDrect of the cork" THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE. This is an interesting combination of serious and instructive reading. The present number contains sermons by eminent divines, sabbath meditations, and sacred poetry. There are also " Wanderings by the English Lakes," a deucription of Barnard Castle, and an account of the Pantheon at Rome, with an " Sketches from Natural History," are ap propriately introduced into a work of this description ; there is no subject more fitted to display the wonders of Providence, and to lead the mind " from Nature up to Nature's God." MUSIC. GRACE AFTER MEAT. This has been composed in imitation of the old linglish psalmody, as an occasional substitute for " Non Nobis Domine," by T. Williams, author of the original " Not a drum was heard," &c. The words are few, and intelligible to all, which cannot be said of the Latin grace, and the music is very appropriate. THE COCK INN. Written, (doped, and composed by T. Bishop. The Cock Inn," was a favourite song of T. Phillips, .aid to be the last of the Incledon school, and though the words are neither very sentimental nor refined, the air, which is spirited, makes up for the deficiency, and when sung even with ordinary taste and execution, produces a good effect. -kkfr 1.46*D0N, FRIDA Y EVENING, MATS 16, 1845 MR. DISRAELI'S S YBIL. The following are some further extracts from Mr. D'lsraeli's interesting new work : THE LESSONS OF EXPERIENCE. " Sybil, whose mind had been nurtured with great thoughts, and with whom success or failure alike par took of th• heroic, who had hoped for triumph, but who was prepared for sacrifice, found to her surprise that great thoughts have very little to do with the business of the world ; that human affairs, even in an age of revolution, are the subjeet of compromise ; and that the essence of compromise is littleness. She thought that the People, calm and collected, conscious at last of their strength and confident in their holy cause, had but to express their pure and noble convictions by the dele gates of their choice, and that an antique and decrepid authority must bow before the irresistible influence of their moral power. These delegates of their choice turned out to be a plebeian senate of wild ambitions and sinister and selfish ends, while the decrepid authority that she had been taught existed only by the sufferance of the millions was compact and organized, with every element of physical power at its command, and supported by the interests, the sympathies, the honest convictions, and the strong prejudices of classes influential not merely from their wealth but even by their numbers. " Nor could she resist the belief that the feeling of the rich towards the poor was not that sentiment of un mingled hate and scorn which she associated with Nor man conquerors and feudal laws. She would ascribe rather the want of sympathy that unquestionably exists between wealth and work in England, to mutual igno rance between the classes which possess these two great elements of national prosperity ; and though the source of that ignorance was to be sought in antecedent circumstances of ♦iolence and oppression, the conse quences perhaps had outlived the causes, as customs survife opinions. " Sybil looked towards Westminster, to those proud and passionate halls where assembles the Parliament of England ; that rapacious, violent, and haughty body, that had brought kings and prelates to the block ; spoiled churches and then seized the sacred manors for their personal prey ; invested their own possessions with in finite privileges, and then mortgagedifor their state and empire the labour of countless generations. Could the voice of solace sound from such a quarter ?" TIIE NEW GENERATION. " Egremont shook his head. • You still will cherish these phantoms, dear Sybil ! and why ? They are not ♦isions of delight. Believe me they are as vain as they are distressing. The mind of England is the mind ever of the rising race. Trust me it is with the People. And not the less so, because this feeling is one of which even in a great degree it is unconscious. Those opinions which you have been educated to dread and mistrust are opinions that are dying away. Predominant opinions are gcnerally the opinions of the generation that is vanishing Let an accident, which speculation could not foresee, the balanced state at this moment of par iamentary parties cease, and in a few years, more or less, cease it must, and you will witness a development of the new mind of England, which will make up by its tapid progress fur its retarded action. I live among Nese men ; I know their inmost souls ; I watch their instincts and their impulses ; I know the principles which they have imbibed, and I know, however hindered by circumstances for the moment, those principles must bear their fruit. It will be a produce hostile to the oli garchical system. The future ➢rinciple of English politics will not be a levelling principle ; not a principle adverse to privileges, but favourable to their extension. It will seek to ensure equality, not by levelling the Few but by elevating the Many.' THE PROGRESS OF CIVILIZATION. " There is more serfdom in England now than at any time since the Conquest. I speak of what passes under my daily eyes when I say, that those who labour can as little choose or change their masters now as when they were born thralls. Th ere are great bo dies of the working classes of this country nearer the con dition of brutes, than they have been at any time since the Conquest. Indeed I see nothing to distinguish then from brutes, except that their morals are inferior. In cest and infanticide are as common among them as among the lower animals. The domestic principle waxes weaker and weaker every year in England ; nor can we wonder at it, when there is no comfort to cheer and no sentiment to hallow the Home,' " I was reading a work the other day,' said Egre mont, that statistically proved that the general con dition of the people was much better at this moment than it had been at any known period of history.' " Ah l yes, I know that style of speculation,' said Gerard ; your gentleman who reminds you that a working man now has a pair of cotton stockinge, and that Harry the Eighth himself was not as well eff. At any rate, the condition of classes must be judged of by the age, and by their relation with each other. One need not dwell OR that. I deny the premises. I deny that the condition of the main body is better now than at any other period of our history; that it is as good as it has been at several. I say, for instance, the people were better clothed, better lodged, and better fed just before the war of the Roses than they are at this moment. We know how an English peasant lived in those times : he eat flesh every day, he never drank water, was well housed, and clothed in stout woollens. Nor are the Chronicles necessary to tell us this. The acts of Par liament from the Plantagenets to the Tudors teach us alike the price of provisions and the rate of wages ; and we see in a moment that the wages of those days brought as much sustenance and comfort as &reasonable man could desire.' " TEE NAMELESS ONE. " • I see one of your partners coming in,' said Mick, making many signals to a person who very aeon joined them. Well, Devilsdust, how are you?' This was the familiar appellation of a young gentleman, yds° really had no other, baptismal or patrimonial. About a fort night after his mother had introduced him into the world, she returned to her factory and put her infant out to nurse, that is to say, paid threepence a week to an old woman who takes charge of these new-born babes for the day, and gives them back at night to their mothers as they hurriedly return from the scene of their labour to the dungeon or the den, which is stilt by courtesy called ' h ome .' Th e expense i s not great : laudanum and treacle, administered in the shape of some popular elixir, affords these innocents a brief taste of the sweets of existence, and keeping them quiet, pre pares them for the silence of their impending grave. Infanticide is practised as extensively and as legally in England, as it is on the banks of the Ganges; a circum stance which apparently has not yet engaged the atten tion of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. But the vital principle is an impulse from an immortal artist, and sometimes baffles, even in its tenderest phases, the machinations of society for its extinction. There are infants that will defy even star vation and poison, unnatural mothers and demon nurses. Such w as le nameless one of whom we speak. We castnot say he thrived; but he would not die. So at two years of age, his mother being lost sight of, and the weekly payment having ceased, he was sent out in the street to play,' in order to be ruu over. Even this ex pedient failed. The youngest and the feeblest of the band of victims, Juggernaut spared him to Moloch. All his companions were disposed of. Three months' ' play' in the streets god rid of this tender company— shoeless, half-nakcd, and uncombed—whose age varied from two to five years. Some were crushed, some were lost, some caught cold and fevers, crept back to their garret or their cellars, were dosed with Godfrey's cordial, and died in peace. The nameless one would not disappear. He always got out of the way of the carts and horses, and never lost his own. They gave him no food: he foraged for himself, and shared with the dog s d the garbage of the streets. But still he lived ; stu s ntL and pale, he defied even the fatal fever whioha only habitant of his cellar that never quitted it. And slumbering at night on a bed of mouldering straw, his only protection against the pi Y ash surface of his den, with a dungheap at his head and a cesspool at his feet, he still clung to the only roof which shielded him from the tempest.' POPULATION RETURNS. " Well, Mr, Franklin, be sure of this, that the Popu lation Returns of this country are very instructive reading.' "‘ I can conceive so.' "' I became a man when tho bad times were begin ning,' said Gerard ; have passed through many dole. ful years. I was a Franklin's son myself, and we had lived on this island at ltast no worse for a longer time than I care to recollect as little as what I am now. But that's nothing ; I am not thinking of myself. I am preposterous in a fashion ; it is the serfs I live among of whom I am thinking. Well, I have heard in the course of years, of some specific for this constant degra 7 dation of the people ; some thing or some person that was to put all right ; Pad for my part I was not unready to support any proposal' 'r follow any leader. There was reform, and there was. -p %per money, and no machinery, and a thousand other remedies ; and there were dema gogues of all kinds, some as bas e as myse lf , an d some with blood in their veins almost as costly as flows in those of our an ,at neighb our h ere, Earl de Mowbray, ' and I ha ve alw sys heard that was very choice : but I will frankly own to you, I never had much faith in any of these proposals or proposers ; but they were a change, and that is something. But I have been persuaded of late that there is something going on in this country of more efficacy ; a remedial power, as I believe, and irre sistible ; but whether remedial or not, at any rate a power thnt wilt mar all or cure all. You apprehend me? I speak of the annual arrival of more than three hun dred thousand strangers in this island. How will you feed them? How will you clothe them ? How will you' house them ? They have given up butcher's meat ; must they give up bread ? And as for raiment and shelter, the rags of the kingdom are exhausted, and your sinks and cellars already swarm like rabbit warrens.' " "Tis an awful consideration,' said Egremont musing. " Awful,' said Gerard, ''tis the most solemn thing since th a deluge. What kingdom can stand against it? Why go to your hi s t ory — you ' re a scholar—and see the fall of the great Roman empire —what was that? Every now and then, there came two or three hundred thou sand strangers out of the forests and crossed the moun tains and rivers. They come to us every year and in greater numbers. What aro your invasions of the bar barous nations, your Goths and Visigoths, your Lom bards and Runs, to our Population Returns ?"' 1 RAILWAY TRAVELLING. " You came by the railroad,' inquired Lord de Mow bray, mournfully of Lady blarney. " From Marham ; aboist ten mites from us,' replied her ladyship. "' A great revolution t "'lsn't it?' " I fear it has very dangerous tendency to equality,' said his loycktip, shaking his head ; I suppose Lord MarPey gives them all the opposition in his power.' `'There is nobody so violent against railroads as George,' said Lady Marney ; I cannot tell you what lie does not do! He organised the whole of our division against the Marham line!' " rather counted on him,' said Lord de Mowbray, 'to assist me in resisting this joint branch here ; but I was surprised to learn he had consented.' "' Not until the compensation was settled,' innocently remarked Lady Marney ; ' George never opposes them after that. He gave up all opposition to the Marham line when tney agreed to his terms.' " And yet,' said Lord de Mowbray, I think if Lord Marney would take a different view of the case and look to the moral consequences, he would hesitate. Equality, Lady blarney, equality is not our métier. If we nobles do not make a stand against the levelling spirit of the age, I should like to know who will fight the battle. You may depend upon it that these railroads are very dangerous things.' "' I have no doubt of it. I suppose you have heard of Lady Vauilla's trip from Birmingham? Have you not indeed! She came up with Lady Laura, and two of the most gentlemanlike men sitting opposite to her ; never met, she says, two more intelligent men. She begged one of them at Wolverhampton to change seats with her, and he was most politely willing to comply with her wishes, only it was necessary that his companion should move on at the same time, for they were chained together !

LIQUIDATION OF FATHER MATHEW'S DEBTS. The following letter, addressed to the parish priest of Castletown-Delvin, by Father Mathew, mentions the grati fying fact that he has been relieved from his pecuniary em barrassments chiefly through the generous aid of the friends of temperance in England : " Cork, May 9th, 1845. " Rev. dear Mr. Fitzgerald,—To you and your generous parishioners I am deeply indebted for the large subscription you have raised for my relief, and I return you my heartfelt thanks. " It pains me, I confess, to be so burdensome to my friends, but expenses unforeseen, and that could not have been avoided unless I abandoned my sacred mission, involved me in difficulties from which I could not extricate myself. " In the very first glorious year of the great temperance movement I incurred the greater part of the debts that op pressed me, but I had an almost certainty of being able to liquidate them by the aid of a rich relative. In this hope I pursued my career, but a sudden death frustrated the bene volent intentions of my friend, and I was left to my own private resources. By the sacrifice of family property I paid off the medal manufacturers (my only creditors), but I was crushed and crippled, and unable to proceed. " My circumstances became known to friends in England, and with their aid, and some partial help from Ireland, a sum ever 7,0001. has been raised, and my debts are liquidated. " Pardon this tedious detail ; but I consider it due to you, and my benefactors in Castletown-Delvin and Killulagh, to give this explanation. " Add, reverend dear Mr. Fitzgerald, to the many obliga tions you have conferred on me, by presenting my most grateful acknowledgments to each of my benefactors in your parishes, and assure them of my constant prayers for their happiness. . _ Believe me, with profound respect, dear reverend Mr. Fitzgerald, your affectionate friend, " THEOBALD MATHEW." MURDER TEN YEARS AGO. The following proclamation appeared in the Dublin Gazette last night, offering a rewind for the discovery of the persons concerned in a murder perpetrated ten years ago : "Dublin Castle, May 10, 1845. " Whereas it has been represented to the Lord Lieutenant that on the 7th of August, 1835, as Mr. Mathew Hill, agent to Captain Dawson, was superintending the sale of timber in the Glen of Aherlow, near Tipperary, he was attacked by five men, who knocked him down, and shot him dead while on the ground, "His Excellency, for the better apprehending and bringing to justice the perpetrators of this murder, is pleased hereby to offer a reward of three hundred pounds to any person or persona (except the person or persons who actually fired the shots) who shall, within six months from the date hereof, give such information as shall lead to the apprehension and conviction of all er any of the persons concerned therein. By his Excellency's command. " E. LUCAS." • The same dazette also contains a proclamation, offering a re ward fur the apprehension of the murderers of James Scully, Esq., of Kilfeacle, who met his death in November, 1842. DEATH OF LIEUT.-COL. SHILLTON.—This gallant and dis tinguished officer, who had been in a state of insensibility since the terrible accident on Saturday, died yesterday even ing at seven o'clock. The inquest was held this day, and the verdict was accidental death. Thq Freeman's Journal says, " Colonel Shelton lost his right arm in the Peninsular cam paigns, while serving as a captain in the 9th regiment of Foot, from which corps he exchanged into the 44th, about 26 years ago. Since that time he has been almost constantly in ac tion in India, and rose by his talent to the honourable posi tion, which he held at the time he met with the deplorable accident which caused his death. The Gallant Gentleman served in India for 25 years, and had only returned from that country about three weeks. As already stated, we have heard few officers in the army so deeply lamented by his brothers-in-arms, and the men of the corps were all, yester day, lamenting the loss of their respected commander. The following are the dates of the commissions of the Gallant Colonel and the details of his services. lie held rank as Brigadier-General in Affghanistan :—John Shelton, En sign, 21st November, 1805 ; Lieutenant, 26th August, 1807 ; Captain, 17th June, 1813 ; Major, 6th February, 1825 ; Lieutenant-Colonel, 6th September, 1827 ; Colonel, 23d No vember, 1841. "Colonel Shelton landed at Mondego Bay in the beginning of August, 'lBOB, and was present at the battles of Roleia, Vimiera, and Corunna. Served also on the Walcheren expe dition, and at the capture of Flushing in 1809. Subsequently in the Peninsula, including the siege and capture of Badajoz, battle of Salamanca, capture of Madrid, retreat from Burgos, battle of Vittoria, siege and capture of San Sebastian, where he was severely wounded, and lost an arm ; campaign of 1814 in Canada. Subsequently he served for 21 years in the East Indies, and was employed in the campaign in Ava and taking of Arracan. Served as second in command through out the disastrous operations in Affghanistan, under Major- General Elphinstone. DEATH OF LORD CARBERT.—This venerable peer died on Monday last at hii residence, Castle Frake, county of Cork. His Lordship was born in 1765, married in 1783 the third daughter of the second Earl of Arran, succeeded his father in the baronetcy in 1777, and his cousin in the peerage in 1807, and was eighty years of age at the time of his decease. THE NEW COLLEGZS.—On Monday the Right Worshipful the Mayor, the Right Rev. Dr. Ryan, and a few private citizens, waited on Mr. Smith O'Brien, at his father - in - la w ' s, in George-street, to consult the Hon. Gentleman, with a view to the adopting such a course as would be best calculated to procure for Limerick the establishment of the third college. Mr. O'Brien received the deputation most courteously, but was reluctant to recommend the adoption of any immediate course until Mr. O'Connell and the Association had expressed themselves with regard to it. It was, however, considered well that the corporation, institution, and other constituted bodies in this city and the surrounding towns in the province, take the subject immediately into consideration, and that a public meeting be called in Limerick for an early day next week, at which all the towns in the province should have their represen tati res.—Limerick Reporter.

BLOWING UP LIMEHOUSE SHOAL.—In the course of a few days attempts will be made, by means of gun powder, to remove the shoal which has so long impeded the navigation of the river off Limehouse Hole. The operation is under the direction of Captain Fisher, the harbour master. Should the weather permit, it is na at all impro bable that the novel proceeding will take place to-morrow (Saturday). SOCIETY OF FRIENDS OF FOREIGNERS IN DISTRESS. The annual festival of the Society of Friends of Foreigner in Distress took place last evening at the London Tavern. The Duke of Cambridge presided. His Royal Highness was supported by the Prussian, Spanish, and Hanoverian Minis ters, and about 220 of the most eminent 'Merchants and citizens of London. The cloth being removed, Non Nnkis was chanted by Messrs. Cooke, Francis, Machin, &c. Her Majesty the Queen, and other loyal toasts, followed in suc cession. The Prussian Ambassador, the Chevalier Bunsen, concluded a speech of considerable force and elegance, by proposing the health of the Royal Chairman, which being responded to with unbounded cordiality, his Royal Highness acknowledged t he compliment, and stated the benefits conferred by the Society upon the objects of its bounty during the past year. They had had seventy pensioners, besides which seventy three persons had received small regular allowances,' and 102 persons had been assisted with the means of returning to their own countries. Casual relief had been given in 2,28.9 instances, among which there were 236 new cases. Yet still such was the mass and depth of misery which the metropolis contained, that comparatively few oi* the really deserving, objects of their bounty received relief.—(Hear, hear.) In the course of the evening David Salomens, Esq., with the permission of the chair, proposed the "Senate and City of Hamburgb," and in doing so took occasion to compliment ' that body for their cordial response to the call of the vener able Mr. Brandt, who had been first and foremost in pressing the claims of the unfortunate who had suffered from the me lancholy disaster which had befallen llamburgh two yew* ago, upon the citizens of this metropolis. The toast was drunk with great cordiality of feeling. The "Health of the Foreign Ambassadors," and also that of " The Vice-Presidents," was drunk, and acknowledged by the Chevalier BuxsEsi, who took occasion to deprecate the funding of any of the munificent donations of the foreign sovereigns, as indicating a want of confidence in the benefi cence and charity of the succeeding years. His Excellency also alluded to the new German Hospital proposed to be founded very soon by numerous benevolent - individuals, in which the Queen, Prince Albert, the King of Prussia, and the Duke of Cambridge, took peculiar interest, with a view to disabuse the minds of those present of the idea that it would injure that institution. On the contrary, he declared, and was followed by the Royal Chairman, that one spring of charity was the source of another.—(Hear.) The Duke of CAMBRIDGE handsomely proposed the health of Mr. Adolphus Brandt, one of the stewarcla, who had col lected from his fnends in all parts of the world the munifi cent sum of 1,300/. Mr. BRANDT returned thanks with much feeling The liberality of the company was not exceeded, we be lieve, in any former year. The sum total of subscriptions announced, including 100 guineas from her Majesty, amounted, to 2,5851. MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL. The centenary festival of the hospital was celebrated yes terday by a public dinner, given at Willis's-Rooms, St. James's - street, previous to which a sermon wae preached at All Souls' Church, St. Marylebone, by the Lord Bishop of London. Upwards of 300 gentlemen afterwards sat down to dinner; among others were-Lord Dartmouth, Lord Robert Gros venor, Lord Aylmer, Lord Harvey, Lord Teignmouth, Sir Thomas Herbert, Bishop of Llandaff, Dean of Chichester, John Astell, Esq., W. Astell, Esq. M.P., B. B. Cabb e ll, E sq. , Captain Fremantle, D r . Penfold, M. Pepys, Esq., J. M. Arnott, Esq., and many other distinguished professional gen tlemen. Lord Prudhoe presided, at the special request, and as the representative of the Duke of Northumberland. After the usual loyal toasts, The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the President of the institution, the Duke of Northumberland, who very much regretted his inability to attend that day.-(Applause.) Glee-" A generous friendship no cold medium knows." The CHAIRMAN then said he bad to propose to them the toast of the evening, " The Middlesex Hospital, and success to it." He much regretted that their President v, as unable to preside, as he must have fulfilled the duties of the chair in a much more efficient manner; he would, however, throw himself upon the generous feelings of the company. The hospital, as might be seen from the report, was of an exten sive nature, and required extensive funds to support it. It was a charity that blessed him who gave, and him who re ceived.-(Cheers.) It was not established merely for the re ception of sick persons, but patients wh o were already con valsecent were retained within its walls until they had per fectly recovered their health, and were enabled to return to their daily labour with renewed strength, and with thank ful feelings towards those who bad enabled them so to do. Lord DARTMOUTH proposed the health of the Chairman, which he shortly acknowledged ; and proposed the health of the Vice-Presidents, coupling with the toast the name of Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., who returned thanks. The Treasurer's report was then read. Among the subscrip tions read, some of the larger ones were as follow :-Her Most Gracious Majesty, Patron, 105/. ; her Majesty Queen Adelaide, 101. ; his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, President, 300/. ; the Right Hon.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. FROM OUR OWN CORRISPONDENT.) At a public meeting of the inhabitants of this town at the Town-hall, on Tuesday, the following address to her Majesty was unanimously agreed to, and the Chairman, the Rev. J. B. Atkinson, was requested to sign it in the name of the meeting, and forward it to Sir J. Graham for presentation:— " ADDRESS. "TO TILE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY, VICTORIA 1. " We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the inha bitants of Cowes, beg leave to approach your Majesty with the most fervent assurances of our devoted attachment to your august person. "Next to these sentiments of loyalty, which, in commoa with the rest of our fellow-subjects, we ewe, and are happy to profess, we entreat your Majesty will permit us to testify our peculiar sense of joy and gratitude arising from the cir cumstance of your Majesty having been pleased to become the proprietor of a residence in our favoured island. "And we fervently hope that, under God's blessing, these salubrious shores, which we have reason to think afforded so much delight to your Majesty in the days of your childhood, may likewise conduce to the health and chjoyment of your royal offspring, who are, with your Majesty, the elects of a nation's hearty prayers. " At the same time that we deliver to your Majesty this grateful testimony of our feelings, we should be deficient in that respect which we owe to your illustrious Consort if we did not add the assurance of his sharing in all those expressions of loyalty and attachment which we have the satisfaction of conveying to your Majesty." Her Majesty and suite embarked this day (Thursday) at two o'clock, on board the Lightning steamer, under salutes from the Castle and R.Y.S. battery. It is expected that the royal party will return to Osborne in about three weeks. During their stay the Queen and Prince Albert daily walked out through Osborne P ar k and grounds, and also through East Cowes Park—(it is surprising that none of the heautlul houses lately erected there are neither let nor sold)—.and t7)ol‘ drives to Carisbrook and its neighbourhood. A project is on foot to form an atmospheric railway from East Cowes to Ventnor ; from thence one branch is to be laid along the shore to Black Gang Chine, and thence over the cliffs to the Needles, and another to the eastward to Bern bridge-point, and under the Haven to Ryde! Next we shall ha sovealebn. bridge dge from the main to the island, or a tunnel ander the WOOLWICH, MAT 15.—Sedi Mahomet Mustapha, at present in this country on a mission from the Empercr of Morocco to the British Court, visited the Royal Arsenal yesterdv.

THE COAL TRADE. — NEWCASTLE, TUESDAY.—The regulations so long established by the coalowners of the north of England, in respect to the supply of coal to the London market, are now at an end, and henceforth the inhabitants of the metropolis may expect to be supplied with that indis pensable article of domestic use on more reasonable terms than formerly. The circumstances out of which this state of things has arisen are manifold, but confined chiefly to the trade itself. Many of the large coalowners having. refused to bind themselves to the proposed conditions, which hare been some time under revisal by the Coal-Trade Committee, after several meetings, and much discussion, the Committee determined this day to leave the trade open. STEAM-BOAT COLLISION NEAR GRAVESEND.—A collision of a very alarming character happened on Tnesday afternoon in Sea Reach, just below Gravesend, between the Prince of Wales, Margate steam-boat, and a collier brig, Flora. It appears that the steamer was proceeding do wn upon her causing the river to Margate, with a good freight of passengers, at e d r e , h a ir c a r n ibed d wi tak th . ei m ; o ty t a her usual speed, and in endeavouring to clear the brig, which on the thee afterrl ae imagined t rnp t e latter part came eodfhf ret orhuma than o p: the most extensive mischief.
