But previous to any application to the public for support, the projectors called a public meeting, which was, ix the month of May last, held at Southampton, and consisted of the principal nobility, gentry, and landholders of the county of Dorset and the south.western part of the county of Hants . At this meeting a Committee of noblemen and gentlemen of the greatest influence in both counties was no minated to inquire into the practicability of the undertaking, and they appointed Captain W. S. Moorsom, civil engineer, to survey the country between Southampton and Dorchester, to adopt the best line, and to make an estimate of its cost ; and, under the powers given hint, he appointed Mr. Pare to ascertain what traffic was likely to support the line, if made. At a subsequent meeting, held at Dorchester on the 19th July last (which was one of the most numerous and influential meetings ever held in the county of Dorset), the Committee appointed at the former meeting made a report, from which the following is an extract : " YOur Committee report, that on this day (the 18th July) Cap tain Moorsom and Mr. Pare (who had been employed by Captain Moorsom under the powers given him by us, in the last clause of our instructions, for the purpose of accurately examining into the traffic upon the proposed line), attended and presented their re ports. These reports have undergone a thorough examination by us, and your Committee feel justified in laying them before you, and reporting that they are perfectly accurate, and such as will warrant your acting upon them. " Your Committee having duly weighed the statements made to them by Captain Moersom and Mr. Pare, consider themselves jus. tified in reporting to you that there are unusual facilities for con structing a railway from Southampton to Dorchester, by way of Redbridge, Brockenhurst, Burley, Ringwood, Wimborne, Ham. worthy, and Wareham ; most convenient for the public in general, as well as for the towns in its Weeny, and that the same can be made for the sum of 450,0001., including all charges. " We further report that the traffie upon the line is sufficient to e a clear net profit of net less than 610. per cent. during the first five years, which Mr. Pare has no doubt will be increased subsequently. " Your Committee therefore confidently recommended the immediate formation of a Company for carrying out an object so eminently desirable for the county of Dorset and southwestern part of the county of Hants. " The friendly assistance and expressions of good-will which Captain Moorsom's surveyors have received in the course of taking up the line, give evidence that a general support may be relied on, as soon as the main features of the undertaking come to be fully understood. " It is Captain Moorsom's opinion that the line may be opened in twelve months from the time when the possession of the land shall have been obtained." It was then unanimously resolved by the meeting that this Com pany should be formed with a capital of 450,000/., in shares of 501. each. Since the above report of the Committee was made a fresh esti mate of the traffic has been rendered necessary by the additional trade which will flow to it out of the lines projected by the Great Western Railway, from Corsham and Taunton to Yeovil, and thence to Dorchester and Weymouth, with a branch to Bridport. These calculations have justified the Provisional Committee i■ order to provide bridges and land for a double line, in increasing the capital to 600,0001.; upon which Mr. Pare estimates a net return of not less than seven per cent. The advantages of coast lines for Government purposes and for the defence of the country, are too obvious to require comment, and the evident inclination of Parliament shown in the past session, to. Oronaotn a continuous line of railway along the coast, coupled r ates the - greailocill 'support already shown, and the careful exa- Aiination into the estimate of expense and traffic prier to the forma tion of a Company, give to this line the greatest claim to the sup port of the public, as tending to insure both its stability and success. A la arrangement, subject to the sanction of the Board of Trade, has bees made for leasing this line to the Great Western Company, that Company guaranteeing Sk per cent. upon the capital, and agreeing to divide the net profits equally with the Shareholders in this Company. Arrangements are also in a state of great forwardness with emi nent contractors for the performance of the entire works, at such a sum as to render certain the completion of the undertaking within the amount and time specified. It is intended to apply to Parliament for an Act in the next ses sion, and the usual clause limiting the liability of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription will be inserted. Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form to Yessrs. W. 0. and W. Hunt, solicitors, 10, Whitehall; to Messrs. Laurence, Cazenove, and Co., Auction Mart, London ; to Messrs. Edward and Charles Castleman, solicitors, Ringwood ; and to Gilbert Stephens, Esq., )3, Northumberland-street, Charing.eross, London ; Messrs. Henning and Andrews, Weymouth ; Messrs.

Hydes and Tymbs, The line from Worcester, with a branch to tho Severn, is in. tended to pass near the towns of l'ersnore, Evesti.u, Stratford-on_ Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the Lo ndon and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been found, on the whole, to be a more desirable point of junction for public accommodation than Weedon. The line from Rugby to Oxford is intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form, for about twenty miles, a portion of the main line from Worcester to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within a distance of 119 miles of the terminus of the London and Bir mingham Railway at Euston-square, the intermediate country will be connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side of the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford and the south ; and, as a necessary result, the London and Bir mingham Railway Company will effect a junction of their existing Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines. Accurate surveys of the country have been made under the di rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson, who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif ficulties. Estimates of the traffic have been prepared, showing a return upon the expenditure sufficient to induce the Directors of the Lon don and Birmingham Company to lease the line in perpetuity, which they have agreed to do, with a guarantee of 4 per cent. per annum to the Proprietors upon the outlay, and half the surplus profits. A moiety of the shares is reserved for the Proprietors of the London and Birmingham Company ; and the remainder will be al lotted to parties having local interests, and other applicants. Interest, at the rate of 4 rer cent. per annum, will be paid half yearly on the deposits and calls, from the time of payment. Applications for Shares may be made to the Solicitors, or to the following Sharebrokers :—Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Old Broad-street; Mr. Robert William Moore, Threadneedle-street, London ; Mr. Samuel Woods, jun., Liverpool ; or Mr. James Pearson, Birmingham. FORM OF APPLICATION.

Dated. -1844. Name ---- Residence ---- Profession ------ To tie Provisional Committee of the Worcester and London, and Rugby and Oxford Railway Company. IN LIVERPOOL.—THE LIVERPOOL BANKING COMPANY. IN MANCHESTER.-Sir BENJAMIN HEYWOOD, Bart., and CO Since the Prospectus of this Railway was issued to the Public, the South-Eastern Company have laid out a Line of Railway from. Ashford, by Canterbury to Ramsgate and Margate, under the powers of their Act of the last Session. This circumstance has induced the Committee to reconsider that part of the Plan, by which it was proposed to carry out the Railway fr:an Paver. sham to Ramsgate and Margate by a Coast Line, with a view to the substitution of another Line, which should fall into the Ash ford branch at or near Canterbury ; by such a junction, a direct Railway communication will equally be extended to Ramsgate and Margate, while an important accommodation will also be afforded to Canterbury and its neighbourhood, and the Line itself will be made capable of extension to several other important points on the Coast, which at present have not the benefit of Railway intercourse. The Committee have determined upon this modification after a mature consideration of its advantages, and they have the satisfac. tion of knowing that it is in accordauce with the wishes of the Inha bitants of the district, through which it is proposed the Line shall pass ; a direct Railway communication will thus be effected be tween Canterbury, Chatham, and Woolwich, and between all those important Depots and the Metropolis ; and the important traffic of Canterbury will be added to the estimated returns of the Company. The Line, as proposed to be modified, will commence, as origi nally laid down, at London-bridge, and will proceed round Green wich-park, by Blackheath, Charlton, Woolwich, Plumstead, Wick. .ham, Bexley Heath, Crayford, Dartford, Stone, and Nortlifleet, to Gravesend, and thence to Stroed, Rochester, Chatham, and Bromp ton, crossing the Medway by a permanent bridge, and thence by Rainham, Milton, Sittingbourne and Faversham, to Chilham and Canterbury, falling into the Ashford branch at or near the latter City. The Committee will at the same time apply for powers to com plete the Line to Ramsgate and Margate, in case the South-Eastern Company shall not effectually carry out their Line. The undertaking will remain subject to any modifications which may be considered advisable by the Committee, or be required by the Government. ..... In the uriginal Prospectus, the estimates of cost and traffic were given in detail, showing a return equal to at least eight per cent. upon a capital of 1,500,0001. By the proposed modification of the Line, the capital will be re duced to 1,250,0001., and by this reduction, and the accession of additional traffic, in consequence of the extension to Canterbury, the Committee feel assured that the profits will be considerably in. creased to the Shareholders. As a proof of the very moderate statements of traffic, upon which the revenue was calculated in the original Prospectus, it may be stated that according to official returns recently promulgated, the number of persons who arrived at, and embarked from, Gravosend, between the Ist of June and the 30th of September, in the present year, a period of four months only, amounted to 1,491,923, ex ceeding by nearly 200,000 persons, the number assumed in the Prospectus to pass to and from Gravesend in the entire year. The Committee have been induced to defer the allotment of Shares pending the consideration of this contemplated change in the lower part of their Line, and the new survey rendered necessary thereby ; but they now intend to proceed to the allotment imme diately after the 29th inst., and no application for Shares will be received after that day. A deposit of 31, per share will be payable on the allotment taking place, and at the same time the Subscribers' Assent, and Parlia mentary Contract must be signed. The Committee, however, feel so confident in the superiority and advantages of the proposed Line, that they engage to return the whole amount of the deposits, without any deduction, should their Line not be approved of by the Board of Trade. Prospectuses may be obtained at the Solicitor's Office, No. 30, Bedford.row, and further applications for Shares must be made to the Provisional Committee only, at their Office, No. 13, Austin Friars, Old Broad.street, London.

CHEA.P EDWARD PRICE and CO., Patentees and Sole Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they are In reality much cheaper than these latter; ono real Composite Candle giving about the same quantity of light a. three of the moulds. They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly than the best wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are therefore both served at the same time by the use of these Candles. Parties intending to try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:" the reason for this caution is given elsewhere. They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. . 4 We regard the work before us,'' The Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com plaints hitherto little understood. and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to keow. We must. however, confess that a perusal •f this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or sultbr.. ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." —Age and Argus. " The Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatmerit of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

SUNDAY.-It is officially announced that her Majesty and Prince Albert will leave Osborne House for Windsor to-morrow, at two o'clock. Preparations are accord ingly made for the accommodation of the royal party, by the naval and military authorities and the South-Western Railway Company, at Gosport, her Majesty having no intention of returning by way of Southampton, notwithstanding the very many ru mours to that effect. It is expected that the Duke of Wellington will arrive early to-morrow morning to receive her Majesty and Prince Consort at the Royal Clarence-yard. A guard of honour of the 59th, 76th, and 37th Regiments, with the band and Queen's colour of the latter, will be drawn up at the Clarence-yard, and the Royal Marines will form the guard of honour at the Gosport terminus. No soldier will line the road from the Royal Clarence yard to the terminus, her Majesty having been made acquainted with the drenched condition of the sol di, ri who were placed along the road on Monday last, exposed to the awful severity of the elements on that eventful day, for so many hours. THE LATE AWFUL CATASTROPHE ON THE KING'S BASTION. We are gratified in being able to state, that it is her Majesty's intention to grant an annuity to the widow of the unfortunate artilleryman, Walker ; and the chief engineer of this garrison is directed by her Majesty to make every inquiry into the circumstances of the widow prior to the settlement of the sum, which is stated at 301. per annum. We much fear the poor widow will not enjoy the royal bounty, for the shock she received, on the news being suddenly conveyed to her, we think will prove fatal. She has not been sensible since the dreadful accident. We are also in formed his Majesty the King of the French, on hear ing of the accident, was much shocked, and stated his intention also to provide for the widow. SOUTHSEA CASTLE. This famed fortress is undergoing conversion to a military prison. That portion of the 59th Regiment which has been quartered in this castle for some time was removed on Friday to other quarters, in order that the alterations may be proceeded with forthwith. As her Majesty and Prince Albert were taking their accustomed early walk, about nine o'clock in the morning, which they had extended upwards of a mile beyond the boundaries of the royal domain, they were caught in a heavy shower of rain, at a rather shelterless part of the hill commanding a view of the sea. Her Majesty and the Princo hastened their steps homeward, when the old postman of East Cowes and Whippingham, who had just been performing his morning rounds in the adjoining villages, observed that a lady and gentle man were rather disagreeably exposed to the storm, and running after them as fast as he could, he tendered his old gingham umbrella, which was graciously accepted, and he was invited to follow their footsteps to Osborne House. Little did the poor postman imagine at that time that it was to his Royal Mistress he had thus the honour of affording such seasonable shelter •• but, on his arrival at the portico, he was agreeably awakened to the fact, by having tendered to him her Majesty's thanks and a five pound note, together with his old umbrella. SIR WILLIAM FOLLETT.—We are gratified to be enabled, oa the information of agentleman who returned to this country from Naples on Saturday lesqt,toinndofurnocme the great benefit the Attorney-General has derive his tour in Italy. D r. Bri g ht has been in company with the Hon. and L earned Gentleman as his medical adviser, aid so satisfactory is Sir William's health, that the pro fessional duties of Dr. Bright are now dispensed with, and that gentleman is on his way to this country. It is dcetnsd necessary for the entire restoration of Sir Wil liam's health that he should remain some months longer in the genial clianite of the south. " The Conservatives of Ireland (says the Orange organ) deplore the aberrations of the Minister in whom they pat their trust ; but they know that that Minister is not the principal of their party confedera tion, nor the embodyment of their party connexion and power; and they know that if he neither will return to his duty of his own accord, nor be controlled by his friends and supporters into measures more accordant with his original professions, he may—nay, he must, fall—fall by his own hands, and by them alone ; and that his loss will not be missed by a party too wise to weaken itself by disunion, by disruption, by amalgamation with any of the discordant rival elements which surround it. No. The Conserva tives will check—will control—will dismiss, if need be—Sir Robert Peel; but they will not break up their own party—they will not exclude their own principles from power and office, far the sake of help ing Mr. O'Connell to help the Whigs into place. They will stand by the Legislative union to the death, but they will form no federal union 'between Whigs and Repealers." The Freeman's Journal, the morning repeal organ, thus concludes an article on the subject :—" As to Mr. O'Connell's declaration respecting this national federalism, we know not what anticipated movements, or what just and wise expectation of conciliating par ties, who would not themselves make the first propo sition, may have drawn it forth before the federalists themselves have make any public move. We know, however, that the Irish people justly confide in him, and that he would not unnecessarily distract the power of this people by directing their attention at this moment to a department of this international con troversy that it behoves England to look after rather than Ireland. If there did not remain a portion of our own people to be conciliated and won into our ranks, by giving them ample assurance that repeal does not mean separation, O'Connell's motto would still be, Let Ireland make sure of the repeal, Eng land will be forward enough to look after the federa tive connexion.'" Mr. Duffy, the editor of the Nation, has addressed a letter to Mr. O'Connell, condemning as dangerous and inexpedient any junction of the Repeal Associa tion with the federal movement. The following is the letter : " TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, M.P. " My dear Sir ---Asyou state in your late important letter to the Association that you are at present balancing the respective merits of repeal and fede ralism, I anxious to throw a few thoughts on the subject loosely before you. If .1 were still a member of the Association, I would do so there ; as lam not. I prefer the familiar medium of a letter to the less kindly and respectful one of a newspaper article. I learned, during the three happy months • I spent in Richinond, how considerate you can be of adverse opinions—how courteously you treat, and, and how candidly you weigh them—a circum s t ance w hi c h I would be equally nnwilling to forget or abuse. "You are aware that I am not prejudiced against federalism. Last year there was an unjust and un reasoning clamour against it among repealers of great enthusiasm and small capacity. They cailed it names, made jokes about it, and did everything but try to understand it. At. the risk of abuse and misrepre sentation, I, and those working with me in the Nation, stood in the way of this prejudice, claiming the federalists as allies, and demanding soft words and fair treatment for them. We insisted that men of trained intellects, and great personal respectability, who had formed their opinions deliberately, were en titled to have them treated with respect. We asked and obtained for them a recognition of that principle, without which co-operation is impossible—' the right of differing.' It is clear, then, that prejudice is out of the question. " IJ LLE I L 1.11111,04 I , lattlilal , QQ 4 " repealor. go any further in that direction. The federalists are useful allies, but most unsafe leaders. As we are going the same road, it is good to march cordially along with them; but those who go farthest are clearly entitled to go foremost. We ought not to change or confound our places. " You see I assume, and I think it is capable of easy demonstration, that whether federalism be a better thing than repeal, or a worse thing, it is at all events a totally different thing. " I think it essentially a worse thing. "In the first place, the Imperial Representation,' on which it is based is calculated to pertuate our moral and intellectual subjection to England. It will teach the aristocracy still to turn their eyes to London as the scene of their ambition. It will continue to train them in English manners, feelings, and prejudices; and to establish permanently a centre of action apart from their native country. By the same process it will plant deeper the physical evil of absenteeism. It will compel our Lords and Commons to reside out of the country, and continue the drain upon our re sources, on which you found so strong an argument for repeal. In this respect I think it a worse cure for absenteeism than Dr. Maunsell's teetotum Par liament: "In the second place it becomes necessary to can vass the use of this imperial representation. Cuibono? We are asked to give up a part of the powers and prerogatives of our domestic legislation to secure an influence in the Parliament of the empire, and we ought to be shown very distinctly the benefits that will flow from it. How will an Irish minority then be able to influence a House where it is powerless now ? A strong and substantial claim for domestic legislation arises out of the difference with which our interests are treated by the English majority—what guarantee is there, or can there be, that it will be different hereafter ? This is a subject which I respect fully think claims your earnest attention. " In the third place, federalism, as it is interpreted by some of the soundest men of that party, demands local Parliaments for the three divisions of the em pire, and an imperial one in common. Now, if this principle be insisted upon, federalism is an imprac ticability, for it implies a re-organisation of the Bri tish Constitution. Apart from any other objection to it, it raises a new and tremendous difficulty which does not exist against repeal. We want to restore an institution of which we have been robbed ; the federalists, who insist upon pushing their principle as far as it will go, want a reconstruction of the em pire upon a new basis. If lam not deceived in be lieving this to be the object of the party, are we not wooing shipwreck, if we embark in the same boat with them ? " Moreover, some of the federalists do not con template a House of Lords for Ireland. They would give us a legislative council, consisting of one chamber. Here we have a second innovation, and, of course, a second difficulty. They ask a thing foreign to the British Constitution, and a thing which, for that very reason (however good it may be intrin sically), would undoubtedly be refused. But is it good ? It would leave us a demi-Parliament, about . as useful relatively to an entire one as half a pair of scissors to the whole; and it would exile the chief landed proprietors in the country—viz., the Peerage. Very bigoted and heartless that Peerage may be; but while it possesses the soil of the country, our business is to keep it under home influences. The section of the federalists who would have no Peers in our do mestic legislature, while they would have them in the Imperial Parliament, contrive to make absenteeism a duty . " Federalism appears to attract you chiefly because it seems to provide a better security ect our sro r n e g b the connexion with England ; a nd I amfteenaloinzti repeal s for surprised at at this when I recollor Ir y el t but on g e party in subject. But you (and) t a keen and selfish enough to se cure her own interets, England is the other; and she is this transaction ; w hatever form the allia nce ma y take. You are the arbitrator, not for both countries, but for Ireland. The gentlemen on the other side will take care of the stability of the bargain. , andeos t . "Federalism has undoubtedly the advantage of re peal in one point : it is less hated — ignorance and prejudice have gi tahr n d o c t iot b i n l a o is : a v ar c ar l at i i\ t vN . : h calmness aa n lam t . i an - n r e e cis p s. e b a ui l op e o r od s ny a_ i r bt are , not trained They more likely to b ecome reconciled to it e c y er l o t a o t ikon regard are than to repeal. But it would a worse condition, for electing this purpose, if the national party adopted it to a man. The Lords used to think it an excellent logical reason for rejecting Bills, that they were countenanced by Vonnell; and I fear party prejudice at home 'wonlclt at fede- , ralism in the same was. To be 'rnisunderetlsotterinste misrepresented, is the tax upon greatness; tgt4tkcV•dSbtaja7 you are a millionaire, you cannot complain of being - taxed in proportion. " But it has this advantage, it has on the other hand the pervading and incurable evil of aiming in the wrong direction. - Its prevailing idea is England, as that of repeal is Ireland. The two principles m;ght be represented by lines 'running parallel, but tending to opposite directions. Which you will choose, upon mature deliberation, I have little doubt. . " Forgive me if I take a step further, and question the policy of embracing federalism. This is beside my original purpose ; but as no sovereign prince of the world of public opinion was ever more tolerant of counsel, I do not fear that you may dismiss my sug gestions without some consideration. At all events, since I have .been a p.etto . martyr ; I have some kind of claim to be a real contesiOr. " lam fully convinced, then, that if federalism were desirable, it would be retarded, net advanced, by the national party falling back upsin it. With all respect for the federalists, it must be sail that they are haunted by a petty and ridiculous fear of agita tion. • Perhaps they have not the vigour for it— perhaps their habits disincline them to publicity—but, at all events, they have always kept carefully a day' s march behind the peoplee If you had commenced by asking federalism three years ago, the majority of • these men would be - speculating at this hour upon 'justice to Ireland,' and the restoration of the Whigs. This may not be true Of indiViduals, but it is true of the party; and I prophecy that, if you ever, by any chance, fall back upon their ground, you will find it deserted. Federalism is the shadow of repeal—it re- • cedes and advances with it, and you cannot get nearer to it or farther from it. • " Again, they are a juste milieu party, between re pealers and anti•repealers—the precise convenience which the Ministry and the people may require to open a negotiation.--e Sir Robert Peel could offer to Mr. Caulfield or Mr. 'Porter What he dare not offer to Daniel O'Connell-e-for the English aristocracy will never forgiVe you yoni Ariumphs. l'Wehild it not be well to leave this bridge wheie it stands ? " I learn from the'Whig journals, and from the report' in all men's mouths, that the* federalists are about to make asdecided MOvement, embracing men that we had no hope of twelve months ago. This is well—it strengthens you tenfold in overthrowing the present system ; but it leaves the policy of a junction with them where it got it. .That must stand or fall upon other grounds. " I do not gather from your letter that if you settled down into a preference for federalism, you con template proposing the adoption of that principle by • the Association. I earnestly hope you do not. Either the adoption or rejection of it would be an evil—the rejection of it as a breach of discipline towards you, the leader of the movement ; the adoption of it, upon many serious grounds. " 1. The overwhelming majority of the members— clergymen and laymen joined as repeaters ; it would be all but impossible to collect their suffrages on the propOsed change, and no chance meeting at the Con ciliation-hall would be entitled to alter the fundamen tal principle upon which the body was organised and supported. r 2. The Committee of the Association is, I take it, no more entitled to abrogate its constitution, than the Irish Parliament was to abolish its functions. The great constituency outside is, in both cases, the body in whom alone the power resides. "3. Any such general change would weaken the moral weight-of the Association. In an individual a deliberate preference of a new opinion to an old one may argue courage, candour, . and magnanimity; in a nation it is generally a sign of weakness; and in our case, surrounded by enemies at home and abroad, it is sure to receive the worst interpretation. " Finally, need I say that I regard the federalists, as I have always done, with respect, and that I quar rel with their opinions no more than is necessarily ims plied,in preferring better ones. Forgive me for occupying you so long, but the um portahce of the subject will excuse a worse offence.— Believe me, my dear Sir, very faithfully VOWS, " CHARLES GAVAN bUFFY. " Rathmines, Oct. 18, 1844." UNIVERSITY FOR ALL SECTS. Two or three weekt. since a rumour prevailed in the Tory circles, that Sir Robert Peel has it in con templation to proposb a large grant for the establish ment,of a new university 'for the education Of Roman • Catholics and Dissenters, as well as members of the Established Church ; and that, independently of this new lay college, the annual grant, for the education of the Roman Catholic clergy, in Maynooth, is to be in4reased. • The Statesman, an ultra-Tory journal in the-interest of the High Church party, thus refers to the sub ject rumour has been far some time gaining ground, that a sum of 100,0001. Will be asked for and (as a matter of course) gtatited ir. next zession of Par liament for the erection of a great university in Ire land, .in which cheap education will be afforded in a system of secular instruction, in which also profes sors of all denominations (Roman Catholics and Erni tariana) will be eligible, and where degrees of all kinds will be conferred."

There was no communication - from the commis sioners. . • Letters were read from - the • unions of Dunman way, Listowel, Kinsa!e, and Edenderry, approving of the course adopted by the Limerick board, and a let ter from Rathkeale union, stating that that board had resigned to a man. Mr. A. S. O'BRIEN said they would prove them selves unworthy of the confidence the board had re posed in them, if they exceeded the limits of the specific business assigned them, and the absence of every member of that board except themselves was sufficient proof that the step taken on the last day met with the approbation of all. Lord CLARE concurred in all that fell from Mr. .• O'Brien. The officers of the house were then all called up, and received their final orders for the regulation - of the house till further arrangements should be made for governing the institution. A month's provisions were ordered. Number of paupers in the house, 991. It will be seen from the following letter of Mr. Smith O'Brien ; M.P., that the Newcastle board are determined to follow in the wake of Limerick " Cahermoyle, Oct. 17, 1844. • " My dear Monsell,—l think it right that you should be apprised that the Newcastle board of guar dians have deferred their resignation, not from any indisposition to support the Limerick board in their laudable resistance to the encroachments made by the poor-law commissioners upon the functions of poor law guardians, but because we were anxious that such resignation should be adopted in full delibera tion, and with the unanimous concurrence of the whole hoard. All the guardians present at our meet ing, held on Tuesday, have signified their intention of resigning in case the commissioners do not rescind so much of the 41st article of their late general order as relates to the control of boards of guardians over their clerks. I sincerely trust that the example of the Limerick board will he universally followed throughout the kingdom. •" Believe me yours very sincerely, "WILLIAM S; O'BRIEN. " To Wm. Monsell, Esq." The guardians of the Ennis poor-law union have passed a resolution cordially agreeing with the Li merick guardians in their opposition to the claim of the commissioners to have control over the clerk of the board. This has now become a very serious quarrel, and, no 'doubt, will lead to some discussion in the next ses sion of Parliament. all S. u T h H e E t PARLIAMENTARY I ti A re A i l n E cr N e T as A in ß g Y the ß ir E m G ta lr eort i t ! directions.
