The Courant of Monday says the heavy state of the roads from the snow which fell on Saturday, caused the different mails to be behind their usual time of arrival. Last night the London morning mail did not reach the Post-office until half past nine o'clock. At this hour the clerks had all left the office, and no one being in attendance except the porter, who, it appears, is not authorised to give out any papers, we, in con sequence, did not receive our papers last night. GLAsGow—We have again had abundance of all sorts of weather—rain, hail, high winds, and a snow-storm, which commenced on Friday afternoon, exceedingly thick, but as the ground was wet it thawed as it alighted for some time. During the night, howev e r, it must have been incessant, as the streets were covered to the depth of a foot on Saturday morning. 'With short intermissions the fall continued nearly all that day, and a hard frost having set in at night, the snow was changed into ice, masses of which lay on the pavemenfs, and the walking along yesterday was, of course, exceedingly difficult, which difficulty was rendered dangerous last night, the ice being as slippery as possible with a torrent of rain which fell, and which likewise brought down the snow from the house-tops with a noise resembling distant thunder. Apprehensions were entertained on Saturday that a sudden thaw up the country would have swollen the Clyde, and inun dated the lower parts of the town ; but this calamity, we are happy to say, has not occurresl as yet. —Glasgow Herald. SUPPOSED CASE OF WILFUL FIRE- RAISING —Between one and two o'clock on the morning of Thursday last a fire broke out in the shop of James Miller, confectioner, in High -street, Gla.g,ow. Information was sent to the police-office, and the engines were promptly on the spot, by which time the flames had gained considerable progress, having burnt through the window shutters, and threatened destruction to the flat immediately above the shop. Soon after the engines were put into operation the farther progress of the destructive element was arrested, and its ravages confined to the place in which it had originated ; but the entire stock of goods (which, however, was of no considerable value) was destroyed. Subsequently, when the smoke had cleared away, Captain Miller made a minute inspection of the premises, with the view to ascertain the cause of the casualty, and his suspicions that it was caused by wil ful means were excited from the circumstance of the fire ori ginating in a spot behind the counter where ignition was not very likely to occur accidentally, being at a considerable dis tance from any fire place. Other appearances combined to strengthen Mr. Miller's suspicions, so much as to cause the tenant to be taken into custody and conveyed to the police office. The stock in the shop was insured at 2001. a sum enormously disproportioned to its actual value. The Tenders are to be Endorsed, Tenders for the " London and Leeds Mail Coach," Sealed up and addressed to her Majesty's rostrnaster-General. WITH WHICH THE " TRUE SUN" IS NOW IN CORPORATED.

I beg leave to assure you that, in the event of my attaining the high and honourable abject of my ambition, it shall be my constant study to merit the favourable opinion entertained of me, and to prove myself a zealous supporter of the rights of cur native fellow subjects, and a faithful servant of the East India Company.

H. SYKES, Lieutenant-Colonel. 47, Albion-street, Hyde-park, Jan. 7, 1839. At a numerous Meeting of Proprietors of East India Stock, friends of Lieutenant-Colonel Sykes, F. R. S., held at the London Tavern, on Monday, Jan. 7, 1839 : Sir CHARLES FORBES, Bart., in the Chair. First Resolution—Moved by Sir PETER LAURIE, seconded by GEORGE ARBUTHNOT, Esq., and carried unanimously—. That in the administration of the affairs of the British Empire in the East, it is of the first importance that the executive body should be chiefly composed of men who, by long service in India, have ac quired a competent knowledge of the character, feelings, and inte rests.of our native fellow-subjects, whose welfare and happiness it is the paramount duty of the East India Company to promote by every means in their power. Second—Moved by Major- General BRIGG s, Madras Army, seconded by Major-General Sir JAMES SUTHERLAND, Bombay Army, K. L. S., and carried unanimously— That the early part of Colonel Sykes's military career, which was devoted to the attainment of an intimate acquaintance with the character and constitution of the Native Army, his proficiency in the native languages, and his constant intercourse for a period of years with the agricultural population of the Mahratta territories, whilst he held the important office of statistical reporter to the Bombay Government, enabled him to acquire that thorough know ledge of the resources of the country, and the social condition of the people of India, which peculiarly qualifies him for a seat in the East India Direction. Third—Moved by Sir JOHN J. HANSLER, F.R. S., seconded by Major GEORGE WILLOCY, K. L. S., and carried unanimously— That on these grounds, and relying with confidence in the well known zeal, ability, and independence of Colonel Sykes—qualities so essentially requisite in public men—the present meeting strongly recommend him to the Proprietors at large, and pledge themselves to use their best exertions to ensure his election to a seat in the Direction on the first vacancy. CHARLES FORBES, Chairman. Fourth—Moved by JOSEPH HUME, Esq., AI. P. ; seconded by Capt. RIVETT CARNAC, R.N. : and carried unsnimously— That the cordial thanks of this meeting are due, and are hereby given to Sir Charles Forbes, Bart., for his zeal, ability, and impar tiality in the Chair.

Also TWO FREEHOLD BRICK-BUILT VILLA RESIDENCES, well finished and pleasantly situate, Nos. 3 and 4, PARK PLACE, HIGHBURY VALE, offering excellent accommodation to moderate-sized families, with neat inclosed fore-courts and walled gardens, well planted, let to Mr. Lewis and Mr. Bradley, most excellent tenants at 401. per annum, presenting a secure and eligible investment ; also, four capital houses, Noa. 4 and 5, PAGET-PLACE, and Nos. 5 and 6, DUKE- STREET, in the Waterloo-road. The houses are substantially built, well situate for letting, and are capable of producing, at the lowest esti mate, 100/. a year, held for an unexpired term of 20 years, at 10 guineas a year only. ain TWO parti cu l ar l y well-built Ag and very agreeable FREEHOLD ABODES, Nos, 1 and 2, HARRIET COTTAGES, pleasantly situate in the D ENMARK -ROAD, CAMBERWELL. A very casual observer will not be slow to discover that these neat abodes were erected with great care and expense, with a view to durability, and to last when most of those around shall have dis appeared ; they are compactly built and are very complete in all respects, respectably tenanted, and produce, at remarkably low rents, FIFTY-FIVE POUNDS A-YEAR CLEAR. The neighbourhood is highly respectable, the situation extremely healthy, and the distance rendered nothing, by means of the nume rous conveyances constantly passing; to the above, and many other advantages, it may be added, that these abodes will give to the purchaser TWO VOTES FOR THE COUNTY OF SURREY. And to conclude, a particularly well secured Improved Rent or INCOME OF 1621. A-YEAR for 18 YEARS, derived from a capitally built substantial House, situate in the " HEART OF THE CITY OF LONDON," No. 7, IRONMONGER-LANE, CHEAPsIDE, being in close alliance with the Bank, Guildhall, and the site whereon the new Royal Exchange will soon be erected ; the house is in a thorough and handsome state of repair throughout, 400 i. having been expended very lately upon it it is parcelled out into chambers to men of the first respectability and substantiality, which from the commencement have never remained one hour un tenanted. THE GOVERNMENT SECURITIES cannot boast of more punctuality. The house is held of the Mer cers' Company for an unexpired term of 18 years.

MR. STENIENS.—W e think it would not be right, under the circumstances, to comment u p on th e ev id ence rn which he has been committed ; but we must say that if he has been rightly committed there are h a lf a score o f per sons who might, with equal justice, have been committed along with him. There cannot be a doubt that the incul cation of resistance to the laws has h a d a power f u l e ff ect on the ignorant part — unhappily a large part—of the com munity ; but the accounts, in the London Papers, of the excitement here, are monstrously exaggerated. Had Mi nisters done their duty there would have been no excite ment at all, but they have counselled a qu i etu d e w hi c h h as left the uninformed multitude at the guidance of men who, under other circumstances, would have had no influence at all. Lord John Russell's declaration against all organic changes has created much of the excitement that prevails. If the people had seen any chance of progressive reform, they would not have been carried away by Stephens's elo quence, fervent and impassioned though it be, or by the wild and infuriated declamation of such men as O'Connor and Oastler.—Manchester Tones.

A person, wh) was passing the window of a room wherein the " Cranmor Memorial Committee" were assembled, picked up a sheet of paper containing the following abstract of " the Parsons' Charter," got up, it is presumed, in opposition to " the People's Charter." The finder carried it into the Committee-room, but strange to say not one of the Clergymen present would own the document. Preamble recites that divers and great inconveniences have frequently arisen to farmers and tradesmen from the exercise of the elective franchise, and that many who have voted con trary to the wishes of their landlords and customers have on th account been deprived of their farms and of the custom of such customers, and that therefore it is desirable to exempt from the franchise all persons whatsoever except Clergymen and Magistrates. Clause 2. Sets forth the :evils of the Reform Act and re peals it. 3. Sets forth the evils of the Religious Equality, and re peals the Catholic Emancipation Act. 4. Extols the Test and Corporation Acts and re-enacts them, and further enacts that all Members of Parliament hereafter elected shall, at the table of the House of Com mons, before they take their seats, take the following oath : " I, A B, do sincerely detest that damnable doctrine that the people ought to be taxed by their representatives only, and I do firmly hold that the people have nothing to do with the laws but to obey them, and nothing to do with the taxes but to pay them." 5. At all future elections of Members of Parliament In cumbents of Livings (except as hereinafter mentioned) are to have as many votes as there are Freeholders and Copyholders in their respective parishes; and Magistrates to have as many votes as they have fitly-pound tenants, and no other parties whatever to have any votes. 6. Whereas it requires " About two hundred pounds a year To make all doctrines plain and clear," no Incumbent, whose preferment is of a less annual value than two hundred pounds. is to be entitled to vote. 7. Entitles Incumbents to impose Church-rates on their parishioners to any amount and at their own disrection, and parties refusing to pay such rates to be liable to seven years' transportation. 8. Enacts that a certain pamphlet on Church Reform, written by a certain Curate in Oxfordshire, shall be publicly burnt by the common hangman, and the writer thereof sent to Coventry. 9. Condemns, excommunicates, and sends to Coventry all other advocates of Church Reform, ani all persons who shall, at any time, in any manner, presume to censure this Charter. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ADULTERY. A few days ago a discovery was made which has not only pl inged the members of two respectable families into a state of the deepest affliction and shame, but created the greatest possible sensation throughout the neighbourhood where it has occurred. The guilty parties are the wife of a highly respect able gentleman, holding . a responsible situation and one of considerable emolument in a first rate mercantile establish meat in the metropolis, and intimacy Polish ref ugee , an d th e circum stances which led to their and subsequent detection are these : The refugee, in the first instance, obtained an introduction to the family, and was engaged as a teacher o f l anguages an d music to the younger branches of it, and so unassuming was his demeanour and manner that he not only o bt a i ne d th e unbounded confidence , but experienced the utmost kindness and hospitality of the gentlemen whom he so basely injured, and who, up to a few . days ago, h a d not the slightest i d ea of the profligacy of his wife (the mother of six children), or the baseness of the man whom he had, i n a great measure, f rom motives of charity, so liberally patronised. It seems that the lady, in an evil hour, proceeded to the residence of a "for tunein St. George's.in teller" the-East (she herself not living far distant), when she was met by the Polish teacher of her children, but what to o k pl ace there it is impossible to say. There is very little doubt, however, that means were taken to introduce the unfortunate woman to a Jew who keeps a house of an infamous description in the vicinity of the Hay market, who, as it turns out, is the brother of the woman who personated the fortune teller, as it has been since satisfactorily proved that he received her and her cher an: at his house, and though he winked at their infamy, the wretch soon began to turn the affair into a source of the grossest imposition and vile profit. On the second visit of the parties to the house the lady wore a gold watch, which, on seeing, the Jew vagabond drew from her side and kept it for several days, and it was not until he was threatened with the interference of the police that he consented to give it up, and not even then until he rec e i ve d th r ee so v er e i gns . H av ing di scover ed the residence of the lady, he extorted considerable sums of money from her under threats of informing her hus band of her conduct, and continued to carry his system of persecution to such an extent that at last she could not meet his demands or endure his importunities any longer. Find ing this to be her dete rm i nat i on t h e m i screant went to t h e house of the injured husband, represented himself as a com mercial traveller, and, under the guise of friendship, and no doubt in the hope of reaping a further reward for his vice, re vealed to him the disreputable conduct of his wife, and further stated where the Pole was then to be found. The husband, whose feelings at so horrible a disclosure may be more easily imagined than expressed, lost no time in tracing out the man who had destroyed his happiness, and on his being searched, letters were found in his pocket from the lady, the contents of which were of such a character as to leave no doubt whatever of the criminal intimacy which existed between the parties. The lady has since been sent home to her friends. It is much to be regretted that the wretches engaged in so disgraceful a transaction, viz., the Pole, the Jewess fortune-teller, and the Jew brothel keeper, should go unpunished. A public lecture was delivered last night by Col. Thompson on the Corn-laws, at the Horse and Groom, Great Portland street, to a most numerous assemblage. Smith Williams, Esq. was in the Chair. Col. Thompson began by observing that they were assem bled to consider a highly important subject, and one which was now occupying the public attention to a very great ex tent. He wished to explain the effects of the restriction on the importation of cheaper food on the community in gene ral, and on the working classes in particular.—( Hear, hear.) He would suppose that any one of them had the means of having his firewood cut at the expense of one shilling by a sharp axe, and that any such person changed his practice and adopted a blunt axe, the effect of which would be that he bad to employ two men to cut his firewood, or, what was the same thing, one man to cut it in two days instead of one day. The consequence would be, that he would have to pay two shillings instead of one, and it would be manifestly bene ficial to the fraternity of wood-cutters ; but there was an equal loss to you who engaged to pay the expense. But was there not a third person concerned, whose interest, if taken into consideration, would show the performance to be most com plete folly? If you had retained possession of your shilling, you would not have destroyed it; clearly you would not have thrown it into the sea ; you would have expended it with some tradesman, your neighbour, for some convenience or luxury. There were those who lost a certain amount of custom in con sequence, namely, those upon whom y ou wou ld hav e expended the difference of price. There were two losses for one gain. The balance was one shilling lost.—(Cheers.) If any society went about to compass the acquisition of an object by the dearest way instead of by the cheapest, there were infallibly two losses for one gain, making in the aggregate, or on the final balance, one loss. —( Hear, hear.) There were articles that coul,l be obtained by barter with foreigners cheaper than by making them among ourselves. Let them take the article of gloves, which could be procured from France by the exchange of two shillings worth of English commodities- The English glove-maker could not produce the article for two shillings, but he could for three shillings, and he was of opinion that it was hard that his countrymen should not employ him. Let them suppose, then, that the commerce was stopped by Act of Parliament. There would be clearly two shillings worth of trade engaged in fabricating English commodities, to be sent to France in exchange, lost. There would, he said, be clearly two shillings worth of commodities in the shape of commerce put an end to. There was a third shilling to be expended, moreover, on the English glove-maker; and it was clear that if the English glove maker gained it, the English wearer lost it.—(Hear, hear.) But was there not another party—namely, the trades on whom that shilling would have been expended instead of the glove-maker, if every thing had been left in its na tural course, that was a loser ?—( Hear, bear.) But, perhaps, the consumer might be a rich man, and it was superfluous to consider his losses. He would ask, had the manufacturing class gained anything ? No ! There was a shifting and changing, but on the aggregate there was no gain. But the consumers were the working classes with respect to the article he had in view. He was speaking about the great necessary of life—about the restriction upon corn.—( Loud cheers.) There was an absolute loss equal to the difference of price between English corn and foreign corn. There was a mul titude of consequences that could not be brought within the compass of a pecuniary consideration upon such an oc casion. If you diminish the amount of food to be con sumed, whilit you could not reduce the numbers of the working men, the working man must work more hours to secure his pittance. As the rations diminished, so the exertions by which the share was to be decided must be come harder and harder. Each man strove against the other, and in ages grew less and less. It was the consequence of those absurd laws which said, you shall eat so much and no more ; 3ou may multiply, but it shall be at the risk of dis tributing amongst three children what was good only for two. The anti-populationists, though right in many of their positions, had failed to expatiate upon what made the limit to our food, and to animadvert upon the legislative restric tion against the importation of foreign corn.—( Hear, hear.) Amongst the arguments urged against free trade there was that which might, indeed, appear to be weighty, but which he thought be could refute. It was said that if we depended for food upon foreign countries, we might go to war with them, and they would reduce us by famine. Was it not within every body's recollection that an Emperor of Russia attempted, when he was at war with us, to cut off from us his tar and hemp, and that his people cut off his head in conse quence ? But corn could be procured from the greatest num ber of nations that could be imagined, and whenever we could not obtain it from one country, we could have it from another. He conc!uded a most eloquent and loudly cheered speech, by hoping that the time was not distant " when commerce would be free, and honest industry would be allowed by law." The meeting did not break up without passing a vote of thanks to the Gallant Colonel, accompanied by three hearty rounds of applause. The Meeting first assembled in the up-stair parlour ; but after the Gallant Colonel had been speaking for a short time, the landlord said the room was unsafe with such a crowd, and the meeting was adjourned to the skittle-ground. No accom modation was there provided for us, so that we are unable to give such a report of the lecture as its importance deserved. EDINBURGH, DEC. 30. LONDON DAY MAIL TO EDINBURGH. The Lord Provost has received the following letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, in answer to the Memorial on the above subject:— Treasury Chambers, 19th December, 1838. My Lord,—The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury have now under their consideration the subject of the day mail to Edinburgh and Glasgow, in consequence of several representations which have reached this Board ; and I have it in command from their Lordships, to acquaint you that my Lords are in communication with the Post Office, and through that department, with the railroad companies, for the purpose of accelerating the dispatch of the letters, and the rate at which they are carried ; but until such arrangements are completed, it would be premature for this Board to give any final answer to your memorial, or to the other representa tions which they have before them. With respect, however, to the hour of departure from Lon don, which it is proposed in the memorial should be fixed at eight o'clock, my Lords must observe that you are under a misapprehension in supposing that the mail despatched at that hour would convey the letters arriving in London by that morning's post. The Irish Mail which was originally forwarded at eight o'clock, did not convey such letters, and in consequence was of very little benefit, so far as the letters were concerned, and the time of despatch was, in consideration of these circum stances, altered. My Lords will be anxious, in conjunction with the Post master-General, to despatch the day mail at the earliest time consistent with the conveyance of the letters arriving from the country on the same morning, which their Lordships consider, and which has always been represented, as the great advantage of the day mail. Their Lordship s d es i re y ou will feel assured, that it is their wish, as well as that of the Postmaster-General to make such arrangements as may meat the convenience of the public ; b ut you will be aware that at the commencement of great altera tions, such as have been introduced by the railroads, it is not to be expected that at first all the advantages can be received which my Lords confidently trust will be derived from a fur ther extension of these roads, and the improvements which time and experience may suggest. —I am, obedient servant, (Signed) my Lord, your 13,4111NG. LOAD LINDSAY'S LETTERS ON THE ITOL'! LAND.—We are not surprised to find that a new edition of this work has been already called for by the public, and we venture to predict that it will not be the last, by many, that its merits will procure. There can be no one who has read the letters but will coincide with the following opinions, expressed in the recently-published number of the Quarterly Review :—" Among the many travellers of mo dern days," says the Reviewer, " who have contributed to our knowledge of the interesting regions dignified by events recorded in Holy Writ, a prominent place must be assigned to the young Nobleman whose work is mentioned at the bead of this article. Lord Lindsay's abilities and accom plishments are of a high order ; a spirit of inquiry and a glowing enthusiasm have been aided by various knowledge, and refined by a sincere piety. He exhibits a considerable store both of ancient and modern learning ; but his draughts of Helicon have been abundantly tempered by ' Siloa's brook that ffoved Past by the Oracle of God ;' having gone out in the perseverance and devotion of a pil grim, he has felt and recorded what he saw with the wisdom of a philosopher, and the faith of an enlightened Christian." The greatest rivalry exists between the builders of timber steam-boats and iron steam-boats. The former de clare that vessels built of dry fir have a decided superiority over those of iron, and are ninety-eight times as strong in direct tension, seventy-eight times as strong in direct thrust, and eighty-six times as strong in lateral straining, and are also, they allege, decidedly superior in durability, speed, stability, cost price, strength, elasticity, and require a much less draft of water. So convinced is one builder of this, that he has issued circulars challeging in sums from 1001. to 1,0001. the builders of iron steam-boats to produce one of the same engine power per tonnage, to compete in the above qualities with a wooden built steamer of equal tonnage. An inquest was held yesterday at West Drayton, on the body of a young man, an agricultural labourer, who suspended himself from the bough of an oak on Friday last, because he had seen his :sweetheart walking in the company of a rival. Verdict, " Temporary derangement." We have noticed elsewhere the devastating effects of the hurricane. With this subject and the assassination of Lord Norbury the Irish Papers received this morning are principally occupied. To the latter calamitous and horrible occurrence the Pilot devotes a large portion of its space, not only report ing in detail the evidence (the substance of which we gave yesterday) adduced before the Coroner, " the scene of the murder," &c., but giving a long article in defence of certain remarks before made by that Journal on the assassination. The llail had before taken to task its Contemporary, express ing horror at the Pilot's manner in speaking of the sanguinary deed. In its publication of Monday last the following rebuke conveyed to its antagonistic Contemporary, whose obnoxious paragraph it quotes : We extract the following palliation—indeed it amounts to a justification—of the murder of Lord Norbury from the Pilot of Friday evening. We shall not offer a single observation upon the article, but leave it to meet that fate to which the honest portion of public opinion must award it. The first notice was (as our readers will recollect) headed " Loi d Norbury wounded," and ended with ascribing "jealousy" as the cause of the attack. The second notice is under the head— " MURDER or LORD NORBURY.—Unfortunately, murder we must now call it—Lord Norbury is dead. He died at twelve o'clock yesterday, wounded by five swan drops, one of which touched the lungs and proved fatal. The circurn stances, the motives, are still involved in considerable mys tery. Various reports were in circulation on Wednesday; we gave them as reports, attaching to each just the propor tion of weight they received from the public, and no one that day knew anything else. Little more than reports, ex cept as to the manner of the murder, is known as yet. It is known that his Lordship was walking with his Scotch steward through a shrubbery, when a man just raised his head and shoulder above a bush, and fired the fatal shot. This fact is ascertained. " The rest is rumour; but one rumour gradually displaces all others ; it is, that the murder arose out of the landlord crime of extermination. It is said that Lord Norbury had got in fected with the horrible exterminating mania, and had got 250 notices to quit served on his tenants. We do not vouch for the statement ; but, if true, heavens I what a scene of crime, cruelty, calamity, and human suffering is presented by the ejection—houseless, homeless, and foodless—of 250 families to starvation and death. We shall not dwell on it. We do not notice it to excuse, but to account for such a horrid crime. It is not that we abhor the single murder less, but that, if possible, we deprecate the system of wholesale murder more." We learn from the Pilot, that after the most persevering inquiries here and in Tullamore, as well as on the the spot where this Nobleman was assassinated, I have been unable to ascertain what was even the alleged cause for the perpetration of this awfully mysterious murder. A Correspondent of the same Paper writes—the Reverend Mr. O'Rafferty, of Durrow, yesterday delivered an excellent exhortation to his flock on the subject, in which he noticed t a r m i c o t n uh g rheseod o rs t u h ce e sco r eotec things d p t () h ot e f Political etric a a c h Catholic aot t Arhres a esl t the Correspondent pecoi p naAtdi seosnne e tse of a t l nm e i 00 ant o n, f t ei on t v h nee s a rn t t d athe i ha s- yet o t P l f i r e ect report of the unnatural and revolting source of the murder gains ground in that county. He also informs us that a man named Hallion is in custody, who was found near the spot where the murder was committed, with a pistol in his possession. He was not in Durrow, however, when the mur der was perpetrated. Two other men arc arrested on suspi cion, and will be examined to-morrow. MR. DANIEL O'CONNELL AND MR. PETER Peecem--In allusion to a letter published by the latter gentleman, the Pilot has the following remarks :—" Of course it will surprise the public as it did us—for at first view it would seem to im ply, what however was certainly not intended, and what, in deed, is towards the close disavowed—an imputation upon Mr. O'Connell connected with money; and we know that whatever exceptions may have been taken from time to time to particular acts or words of Mr. O'Connell, no imputation connected with money could justly be made against him, or ever was made. The letter, however, caused us to inquire into the facts, and that inquiry has resulted in further proofs that the case in question forms no exception to this opinion. The fact is, the difference between Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Purcell on the point was more technical than material. It was a difference as to the form in which the funds of the Society should be kept, and not as to the appropriation of them. Mr. O'Connell conceiving that the form he adopted could be more safely employed in certain appropriations connected with the public cause than another form, which, however, was more strictly and technically accordant with the regulations of the Society, although, perhaps, not at the moment for the public service. However this may be, we confidently assert that when all the facts are known, it will appear that even where there was informality it was for the sake of the public cause alone, and unconnected with any private interest. Indeed we should be ashamed if we deemed it necessary to argue this with Irishmen after their long experience of. Mr. O'Connell. However, as matters of account are matters not for opinion but fact, we are happy to learn the accounts will be published in the morning—involving - no doubt as teatihe purity and disinterestedness of the parties—but leaving lie public of course to form their own judgments as to the weight to be attached to technicalities." ROYAL BANK.—We understand that several accounts Wave been closed, and the discontinuance of others threatened, with the Royal Bank in Foster-place, in which establishment Mr. Ex-Sheriff Jones holds the situation of Director, with a salary of 2001. a year, in consequence of the line taken by that un tleman in the late proceedings of the Corporation. —Dilb'litt E . en -a Mail.
