ARRIVAL OF THE ASHBURTON.. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.--The New York packet ship Ashburton, Captain Howland, arrived here about eight o'clock this morning. She sailed from New York on the 6th inst., and brings papers and other advices from that city to that date. When the Ashburton sailed all was quiet. The negotiations about Oregon were in progress, and the acquisition cf California was in con templatior. The Americans had turned their attention from emigration to Oregon to California. The ;soil of the former place had not given satisfaction, so that many who had emigrated there had gone to California, the " land flowing with milk and honey." " That paradise," says the New York Herald," will soon be more inhabited by Americans than any other section on the continent, out of the twenty-six United States, and must, of course, be shortly annexed. The impetuosity of the people of the Great West for the acquisition of all the territory to the Pacific is irresistible. fornia may be the test question at the presidental elec tion of 1848, as Texas was in 1844." The news from Mexico is considerably later than that brought by the steam-ship Britannia. It does Rot appear, however, that the Mexican authorities have made any decided or war like movement against the newly-annexed state, Texas, except to send 20,000 men to the frontier of Texas, and covering the house-tops in Vera Cruz with sand. The following is from the New Orleans papers of the 24th ult.:— (From the New Orleans Bulletin, July 24.) MAZATLAN. APRIL 23.—0 n the 18th instant consider able excitement was caused in this place, occasioned by a body of artillerymen marching through the principal streets towards the custom-house. On their arrival at that place, the officer in command received orders from the collectors of Ow Aduena Teresrte, to accompany one of the clerks of the said office, with Sestigos, and lay a forced embargo, at tee point of the bayonet, on the property of the only two American houses in the place, Parrott and Co., and Mott, Tal'tot, and Co., to satisfy a demand for du ties caused by a law of the state of Siooloa, 1834, which law was annulled in 1'37 by the tariff of that year, and from that date up to a few days previous to the date of this the Custom house had never demanded from any house such duties. 'fhe house of Parrott and Co., of course, was embargoed, on pro perty to the amount ef 45,000 dolls., to satisfy the claim, only amounting to about 4,000 dolls. ; after which the troops were marched to the house of Messrs. Mott, Talbot, and Co., with the object of laling an embargo on their property, but Captain Hope, of 11. B. M. frigate Thalia, interfered, and prevented the embargoes I - eing laid, one of the partners of the said firm being a British ..übject. Mr. Parrott, who for many years had been our consul at Mazatlan, suffered with much pa tience the ir. ignity to his person, and as the di plomatic relati in between the United States and Mexico are suspended, no has no resource in seeking re dress from t Mexican Government, and very pro perly called in toe 1- , Tench consul to witness the proceedings, which are it agar and unjust from the commencement, as no judge or eotepetent authority in the place had passed sentence or ju igMent, in any shape or form, on the proceed ings. Mr. Par, ott has gone before the French consul and made out his pt otcst, and will submit it to his Government, to be settled with ti, a other difficulties pending with Mexico. There are at Nladatlan nearly a doyen importing houses, and notwithstanding not a single demand has been made by the col lector', against then, for duties, he having, as it appears, deter mined to take hie revenge out of the Americans. Many re spectable citizens, seeing these scandalous proceedings, have used their inflames to conciliate matters. APRIL 24.—The Prefecto of the Port has addressed a letter to the Governor of the State, complaining in strong terms against the vi&ent and unjust proceedings against the Ameri cans, and very pr operly pointed out that they were caprices of the collector, and from the concourse of people who were pre sent, it was sufficient to disturb the peace of the port and bring on the country a war. APRIL 25.—The embargo on the property of the American consul had not been raised, notwithstanding a meeting has taken place to that effect. The consul is determined to resist the payment and suffer his property to be sold. A military fo.ce was again demanded for laying the embargo on Mott, Talbot, and Co.'s property, but it was wisely refused. Over tures have been made to the consul, that if he would address a letter to the Gafe Superior de Hacienda, his property would be released, but he has refused, and is determined to - let the matter take its course. Other outrages will follow. General Rangel has been sentenced by a court-martial—for his late revolutionary attempt in the city of Mexico, in which he treated the President and his cabinet with such indignity— to ten years' imprisonment, without the loss of his rank—a truly Mexican punishment for treason. Another authority, but usually not so well informed, says he is stripped of rank and all employment, and banished for ten years. The ire of the Mexicans was a good deal aroused, apparently, at seeing him get off so easily. The Ocean House, at Newport has been entirely de stroyed. and some lives have fallen a sacrifice to the fury of the flames. We take the following particulars from the .New York Tribune of August 3 : " NEWPORT, R. 1., SUNDAY, 4 o'Ceoex P.M., AUGUST 3,—We arrived here on the Massachusetts this morning at four o'clock, and were very greatly chagrined to find the Ocean House full and overflowing with people—more than a hundred being turned away. We tried with similar bad luck the Atlan tic and Bellevue House, and then spent four or five hours in trying to gain admission to aprivate house. At length we were lodged in tolerable comfort at Townsend's Hotel. " Probably no watering place in the Union was ever so crowded as Newport is the present season. There were over three hundred and fifty strangers in the Ocean House alone, and every place in the city - full. " But it turned out that our regret at being excluded from the Ocean House was foolish and wicked. At about one o'clock today, while the fashionable throng were dressing for dinner, the cook-house, a small building adjoining the eastern wing of the hotel, caught in the ceiling, from a dish of lard which took fire, and blazed from the floor where it fell to the roof. "In an instant the cry of fire was given, and such a scene of confusion and distress ensued as no man could wish to see twice. The boarders were running from room to room, screaming for their friends, brothers, husbands, wives, and children, and all inquiring with white lips the cause of the • alarm. There was a most pitiless lack of water, and the flames seized with fury upon the extremely dry and combustible mate rial of which the cook-house, as well as the whole building was composed. The bells rang the alarm— the whole city hurried to the spot, and the opinion already became general that not a timber of the whole of this gr2ceful and airy, but light and unsubstantial edifice, could be as •ed. •"fhe work of carrying out baggage now began in great earnest; and fair aristocratic hands, albeit unused to the I ,, irking mood, performed incredible tasks of porterage. The ge and magnificent parlour of the hotel, occupying the whole the north end, was now stripped of its costly furniture, and field directly opposite and to the northward of the hotel Leeenie speedily filled with trunks, boxes, furniture, &c., while the street was lined with elegantly attired ladies, lamenting the loss of their dinners or their dresses. " Water, water, water !' was the unanswered cry of the fire men and the eitiaens who had rushed to the spat to render their •tasistance, but none could be procured. The Sre department ippeared to be efficient and well organised—ambitious and Bring-but what good were their half-dozen fire-engines wit .out water ? It was now clearly seen that the building toniti not be saved, and in two hours the whole pile was a smoking ruin. " The Ocean House was built by the Ocean House Cora pan ,ne winter before last, and finished last winter. It was V' .al at 36,000 dolls., and insured in Providence and Boston i B,oeo dolls. It was rented by John G. Weaver, of New port, who paid 8 per cent. on the value. The building was in the lorr. of an L, running north and east—the northern wing - f. 226 feet long, and the eastern wing 125 by 30—four - 'ries high. It contained 208 rooms, its situation was beau tiful and commanding, and its loss is a heavy blow to Newport, as well as an indescribable inconvenience to the boarders, a great many of whom were from New York. " But the saddest portion of this calamity is the death of Samuel Fowler Gardiner, Esq., one of the oldest, wealthiest, and most estimable citizens of Newport. He owned a large amount of property here, and was the agent and part proprie tor of the extensive Newport cotton mills, the Coddington, Perry, and Newport Steam Mills, and another of which he was exclusive owner. He leaves a wife and ten children. " The body of Mr. Gardiner was found in the ruins, more than half consumed—a key and a pencil lying on his chest. I also feat. that-Thomas R. Hazzard, Esq., residing in the beau tiful country seat of Varcluse, has perished. You will re member him as the author of some political tracts, published in 1844. p. S. —lt is certain, I am told, he is dead. "George Burrows and Robert Coxall were on the ladder pith Alr. Gardiner when the eastern wing came down, and they fell outward, while he fell inside the burning walls. The two former were seriously injured, and it is doubtful whether Mr. Coxall will survive." " The furniture of the house was worth 25,000 dolls.—two thirds saved, 9,01+' dolls. insured. Mr. Weaver, the lessee of the Ocean House, tuts already taken a house which will accom- Modate fifty, And which he will open to-morrow. There's en terprise for you. " It is said that there was a gentleman in the second story of the east wing who was lost, but of this nothing is certainly known. Humour also gives three or four other victims to the flames. " Some fresh riots have taken place at Philadelphia, arising out of the stoppage of some allowances to fire companies, which have again kept that once peaceable city in a turmoil for some days. Philadelphia is becoming from its disorders a bye -word in other cities." The advices carried out by the steam-ship Cambria had a favourable effect on the cotton and provision markets. Exchange on England was quoted at from 1091 to 110. Captain Manby has presented to his Royal High ness Prince Albert a geranium, raised from a cutting off one that was in Nelsen's cabin, on board the Elephant, at the battle Copenhagen.— Cambridge Advertiser. PARffil OF ST. LEONARD, SITOREDITCIT.—Yester day a n adjourned Vestry meeting of the inhabitants and rate- Payers of this parish was held in the vestry-room adjoining the church, for the purpose of electing four trustees under the local Act, 42d of George 111., cap. 13, called the Four Rates Act. At the previous Vestry the Church party proposed Messrs. Long, Hopkins, and Toplis as trustees for the Holy well district, and Mr. Warr for the Hoxton New-Town dis trict; upon which the Opposition and Anti-Church party, with a view to test their strength, proposed a Mr. Lawson for the Holy well, and Mr. Pickford for the Hoxton New-Town dis trict. A poll was then demanded, which closed at four o'clock Yesterday. At the close of the poll Mr. Bewley, churchwar den (the chairman), declared the result of the poll to be in the district— For Long, 173 ; Hopkins, 170; Tongs, 1 ?1; Lawson, 103; majority for Hopkins, 67—and declared Messrs. Hopkins, Long, and Toplis duly elected trustees for that district. For the district of Hoxton New-Town the num bers were—For Mr. Warr, 175 ; Pickford, 106 ; majority for Mr. Warr, 69, who was also declared duly elected. ErzcrioN OF A. JUDGE.—A meeting of the Corn rnisooners of the Westminster Court of Requests was held at the Court on Monday, to nominate the candidate for the office of Judg e or Assessor to the Court, agreeably to the previsions of the Small Debts Act. There was a full attendance of com missioners, when Mr. Green, of Soho-square, was elected chairman ; and Mr. Cuff, the clerk, proceeded to read over the applications from the various barristers and solicitors, candi dates for the appointment. Most of the candidates were backed 5y a long list of testimonials from judges and gentlemen of the I, Val profession. Among them were Mr. Keane, barrister, Mr. Moylan, Mr. Horry, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Campbell, all bar ristms. The solicitors are Mr. Le Breton, clerk to the parish St. ; Mr. A'Beckett, of Golden square ; and Mr. Howorth, of High-street, Camden-town. Monday next is the day for the election. The contest will be aery close. The number of commissioners for the nine parishes "4 Westminster is 288 ; but not more than half have qualified to as to entitle them to vote. LITERA TURE. NORTH BRITISH REVIEW, for August 1845. No. IV. This number contains few, but they are important, papers. We have articles headed, " Chemistry in its relation to Agriculture," " Life of Lord Hill," " Say ings'Banks," " Tytler's History of Scotland," " Hospitals for the Insane Poor," " Colonisation and the Allotment System," " Welsh's Church History," " Mrs. Hamilton Gray's History of Etruria," and " Vestiges of the Na tural History of Creation." A fair variety of subjects, but a majority of them somewhat to ponderous for a periodical. We have been very happy to meet, under the first of these reviews, with occasional notices of a most valuable work of the father of the present Earl of Dundonald, " The relations of Chemistry to Agricul ture" (4th, Lon., 1795). It is long since we made our first acquaintance with it ; a period in which elementary treatises on the chemical properties of soils, and of various kinds of manures, were far 'more scarce than they are at present. With equal pleasure we recal our first perusal of another tract, the title of which forms the second item in the heading in these papers, we mean, Sir Humphrey Davy's " Elements of Agricultural Che mistry" (Lon., 1814). These works are reviewed in common with Mr. James Johnston's " Lectures on Agri cultural Chemistry and Geology" (Edin. and Lon., 1844); and the same author's " Elements of Agricultural Che mistry and Geology" (Lon. and Edin., 1844). We can not convey a more favourable impression of the good sense and good spirit in which the reviewer has taken up this important subject, of the intimate relations sub sisting between the extension and improvement of the process of chemical discovery and analysis, and the de velopment of agricultural fecundity, than by quoting the following passage; promising, moreover, that the words we have printed in italics merit to be recorded in gold. They accurately touch that which is, at once, a capital heresy in our theory of domestic agriculture, and a faint hearted and timid apology for deficient enterprise and industry. " The advocates for protection not only predict disaster and ruin to the existing agriculturists as a body, from the opening of the trade in corn, but they foretell, also, that half of the poor lands (as they call them) of the empire will be thrown out of cultivation. This statement is, we believe, made in good faith, but it is made in ignorance of the capabilities of the soil, and of the means of developing them. Most of what these writers call ' poor lands' ought rather to be called neglected lands. The wealth they are capable of yielding, and the mode of ex tracting it are little understood. The pressure of harder times, should they unhappily fall on our already heavily, burdened agriculturists, will lead to the discovery of this unseen wealth, and will gradually impart to the now called ' poor lands' some thing of the character of those now called 'rich.' Lands which were considered sterile and worthless a century ago, now pro duce as much as rich lands did then. Has knowledge become so stationary in oar day that we may not expect the next century to produce a similar improvement ?" Neither have we much to except to in the writer's primary positions touching the duties and rights of a national agriculture. We could have wished that they had been introduced with the preliminary axiom, for which we are prepared stoutly to contend, that " climate is determined by the geological conditions of the soil." The Reviewer maintains— The law of Loyola, amended by the famous Aquaviva, employs a multitude of words, merely implying, Thou shalt not say that murder may not be committed under any pretext ; thou shalt only refrain from affirming that it may be committed under one.' The silence here, that gives consent to many murders, has not escaped Jesuitical ingenuity ; and it were easy to show what crimes have been committed, under another and less equivocal rule of the order, which says that all things done by it were for the glory of God, and that there fore the end amply sanctifies the means employed to reach it."

That it is the duty of those to whom the . tillage of the soil is entrusted to see that the means of living ate raised for the whole people (allowance, of course, being made for extraordiniry seasons, which no skill or industry can avert. 3d. And that, if the tillers of the soil do not raise food enough for the whole people, a free aecess to fo , eign markets should be permitted, for the purpose of supplying the remainder." The remainder of the paper is devoted to the exposi tion of these principles, and is full of interesting matter, but too entirely made up of multifarious details to admit of any intelligible abstract. In the review of the Rev. Mr. Sidney's Life of Lord Hill, there are some sensible remarks on the deficiencies of a generally interesting book. Lord Hill's is a reputation that will ever be dear to the country of his birth. His honest, manly, frank bearing, his calm intrepidity of purpose and vigour of action, as they are most proper to, so are they best appreciateed by his compatriots. If anything could add to the universal and even affectionate respect which Englishmen of all ranks have ever entertained for Lord Hill, it would be supplied by the proof incidentally, and as it were unconsciously, adduced by his biographer, of the singular modesty with which this gallan t and open-hearted soldier earned and reposed under his blushing honours. Mr. Sidney has certainly been somewhat too chary of these personal anecdotes, which, it is to be presumed, he must have had the best opportunities of gleaning among the family and connexions of the deceased. " Take, for instance, the important battle of the Nive, or St. Pierre. That battle was, by the common consent of bath the French and English armies one of the most bloody of the whole war. It was also one of the most glorious to Lord Hill, who fought and gained it with his own troops alone, against one of the ablest French commanders, Soult, who vigorously assailed him with a force of nearly thrice his numbers. The events of the day were full of vicissitudes, and were repeatedly ominous of disaster, calling forth all Hill's talents, not merely as a skilful General, but also as a brave soldier. In any cir cumstances it must have been a most arduous task to sustain the eager attacks of the French, confident in their valour, their numbers, and their leader; but, unhappily, the astonishing misconduct of two British Colonels, in different parts of the field, who withdrew their respective troops from action at the most critical moment, unexpectedly aggravated the difficulties of Hill's position to such a degree, that with an inferior leader all would have seemed irrevocably lost. He had stationed him self on a mount in the rear of his troops, from which he could , descry the movements of the contending forces. On the in stant of discovering this disaster, he flew to one of the regi ments who had been thus betrayed, and who were burning to wipe off the disgrace, and with that regiment, supported by some other troops, he retrieved the wavering battle by a bold and vigorous charge headed by himself. All this we learn from Colonel Napier writing the general history of the war, and all this, at least, should have been contained in any biography which was to do full justice to Lord Hill, and to show the British army with what intuitive promptness he could meet those sudden emergencies, in which the indecision of a moment might have caused the loss of a battle; and with what varied resources both of prudence and daring he could bear up against apparently overwhelming dangers, until, at length, he compelled reluctant fortune to his standard, and snatched a brilliant victory, as it were, out of the very jaws of defeat." There are given some delightful letters from Hill to his sister, describing the actions he had been just pre viously engaged in with graphic simplicity and a singu lar sense of his gratitude for his hair-breadth escapes. A spirited account, also, of the brilliant affair at the bridge of Almarez (which place stands before his native Hawkstone in the patent of his barony) makes us sensi bly lament our want of space to transcribe it. " Savings Banks" is the title of a remarkable commentary on " An Appeal to the Editors of the Times newspaper by two Lay Members of the Church ;" to which, as well as Mr. Ty tler's " History of Scotland," we may recur at some future opportunity. The article on the "Report of the Metropolitan Commissioners on Lunacy" is a carefully written and well reasoned argument in favour of more numerous and better organised hospitals for the house less poor. Mrs. Grey's "History of Etruria"—cer tainly one of the most interesting essays in the province of antique and classical topography which has been pro duced in our language—receives a due meed of critical notice and approbation, and the reviewer's judgment, we observe, confirms the opinion we have already recorded on the crude and unsatisfactory character of the " Ves tiges of the Natural History of Creation"—a signal fail ure in an attempt of signal temerity, but which, strange to say, has attained a fourth edition.

New ( 1 1randling)7: Newcastle and Berwick.. It can scarcely be expected of us to acquiesce, im plicitly, in the views and doctrines of so High Church an advocate as this able periodical. Nevertheless, it is most gratifying to us to bear testimony to the great ability and research which all the contributions to the present Number exhibit. These contributions are devoted respectively to reviews of works connected with Scrip tural Geology (under which heading we meet with the Rev. C. Burton's " Lectures on the World before the Flood" and the " Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation") ; " The Presence of Christ in the Holy Christian;" " The Movement in Germany" (an excel lent essay) ; " The Natural Limits of Subscription ;" " Savoy and Piedmont"(the Royal Dynasty of Sardinia); " The Prospects of the English Church, her Pastors, and her Poor ;" " Life of Dr. Bell ;" " Jesuits and Je suitry ;" " Rural Deans ;" " Tait's Meditationes He braicm ;" " Endowment of Maynooth—the Debate and the Division." Of all these the one which presents itself as best adapted to our purpose is " Jesuits and Jesuitry." At the commencement of this paper we find the titles of Mr. Charles Seager's " Life and Institutes of the Jesuits ;" Michelet's and Quinet's "Des Jesuites ;" Eugene Sue's " Juif Errant" (a Hebrew gentleman, whom we were, at first, astonished to find in such goodly company, but for whom the Reviewer makes out a bril liant case); and Von Duller's " Geschichte der Jesuiten." At the present moment the old imputations against the formidable sodality of Jesus, touching " that most damnable doctrine that Princes excommunicate by the Church of Rome may be lawfully deposed and mur thered," derive, from peculiar circumstances, a resus citated interest after a slumber of about two centuries. The following passages are significant : " Against the oft-repeated charge of aiding, sanc tioning, or committing regicide, M. de Ravignan de fends his order, with as much fruitless zeal and hope less intensity as he can summon to the arduous office : There is another doctrine of which the name resembles a tempest, and appears still to heap upon us dark clouds —I mean tyrannzcide.' Such are the opening words of his defence ; and one would suppose that they would have been followed by an eloquent and indignant denial of the fact, with proofs substantiating a denial so elo quently and indignantly made. On the contrary, he is afraid to discuss the subject, or, perhaps, not afraid, but only ' obedient.' • I shall not discuss now (he writes) any more than before : a severe law of the Company absolutely forbids me !' And yet he has not hesitated to discuss the truth) of other charges, less heavy indeed than this, the name of which, as he well says, resembles a tempest, and which still covers those it accuses as with masses of dark clouds. If he avoids discussion, how then does he succeed in his attempt at refutation ? By ceasing to be a theologian, and condescending to history. He recounts the history of the matter, and complacently claims a favourable verdict by virtue of his recital. The substance of what he advances is this : that, in 1614, the General Aquaviva issued a decree which is still in force. and which expressly forbids, in virtue of holy obedience, and under pain of excommunication, to any priest— that he shall commit murder ? By no means, but—that he shall say that murder may be committed.' Mark the latitude of this decree, which forbids every member of the society to affirm, in public, or in private, in teaching, in writing, or in replying to those who may ask counsel, that it is allowed, under pretest of tyranny, to' kill kings.' This decree, so boastfully adduced in favour of the innocence of the Jesuits, and in force now, absolutely says nothing more than that it is unlawful for a man to say that regicide is permitted, it does not even add, that it is also unlawful to confess that regi cide is allowed under other pretexts than that of tyranny The law of God (our law), expressly, briefly, and with ' out circumlocution, says, 'Thou shalt do no murder.

DUBLIN, AUG. 25.—The weekly meeting of the As sociation was held this day, John Reilly, Esq., T C., in the chair. Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, M.P., in moving the adoption of the following address to the Protestants and Presby terians of Ulster, said that, notwithstanding the ridicule with which their endeavours to conciliate the Orange men had been received, they would persevere in those exertions, and would not cease to point out in a Chris tian spirit the disastrous consequences which resulted to their common country from the disunion and divisions which had unfortunately so long existed. ADDRESS OF THE LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION TO THE PROTESTANTS AND PRESBYTERIANS OF ULSTER. 4 . FELLOW COUNTRYMEN—Our common country is in distress and poverty, and we, Irishmen, cannot agree to help her ! " Why is this ?—what advantage have we in our fights and divisions? None ! The advantage is to England. " Were we pulling together, England would listen to our just demands ; the absentee landlords would be made to come and spend at home the rents they now waste in foreign coun tries. The harsh resident landlord or agent would speedily be called to account, and made to deal honestly with the far mer and respect his tenant-right. "Every penny of the money we pay in taxes is, after dis charging the Lord-Lieutenant's expenses, and those of our crippled public offices, swept away to be lavished in making handsome squares in London, or paying English debt, con tracted without our consent, and without any benefit to us. " Were we, Irish Protestants, Presbyterians, and Catholics, good friends with each other, we would very soon stop that in justice as all others : and whatever we had to pay in taxes should be spent among us, and so give us some return of our money. " After the great Protestant movement of 1779-1782, all Irishmen were for a time reconciled to each other ; and the consequences were free trade, a free Parliament, and a degree of prosperity in agriculture and manufactures, such as Lord Clare himself confessed no nation ever before attained to in so short a time. " The Englishman found the means of dividing us again. He made use of our religious differences. He blew up again the smouldering embers of religious rancour, until they burst into a Sre that scorched and withered every genial feeling of the heart, and dried the fountains of charity even in their in most source " And he rejoices to believe that revilings, and bitter de. fiances, and taunts and insults passing between us still, and still vie are, as he fancies, as far as ever from thinking of our common interest—the interest of our common country, of the Ireland of the Orangeman as of the Papist. " Nay, the other day, the London Mo 7 suing Chronicle called the idea of our ever coming together ' an egregious absurdity,' and said it was a farce to threaten England with a union of Irishmen ! that that was impossible. " What a chuckle of base unchristian gratification there is in these words. " And is this to last ? Is the world for ever to mock aLd jibe at us? Is Ireland to be for ever poor. neglected, robbed, insulted, despised, because of her divisions? " What benefit to any party amongst us is there in these our sad and ruinous dissensions ? What advantages are you reap ing from them, or has there been to us ? Alike we are laughed at and contemned, in turn we are oppressed. " Your meetings now are as odious to the Government as ours in 1843. The same unconstitutional means are being resorted to to put them down. The same injustices are being done to you now, as then to us. " We can end this if we will, we can make our demands be attended to, ourselves be respected, our country be restored to her rights. " We can do this again as it was once before done, in the glorious era of 1782, when your forefathers in arms shook hands with our forefathers in chains, and both vowed together to make their country a nation. " We can do this if, in the name of our common Creator, we forget and bury our miserable differences, and make a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether for old Ireland. (Signed by order of the committee) " JOHN O'CONNELL." The SECRETARY read the following letter from Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., inclosing his subscription for the current month : " Cahermoyle, August f,O, 1845. "My dear Sir—l inclose my subscription for the present month to the funds of the Repeal Association. " I am very glad to perceive that the association is about to apply itself with vigour and•earnestness to the registration of repealers throughout the kingdom. We cannot too often repeat the undoubted truth, that no thing would tend so much to advance the cause of repeal as that a large majority of the Irish representatives should appear in Conciliation Hall, or in the House of Commons, in the cha racter of uncompromising advocates of the legislative freedom of Ireland. " Resolute men of high abilities, and of upright principle, can, undoubtedly, be found to represent the sentiments of the Irish nation in the next Parliament, if the people of Ireland will give to the cause for which they would cheerfully lay down their lives—the less glorious sacrifice of time and exertion which it is necessary to qualify them to exercise their electoral rights. " Scanty as are our electoral privileges, the repealers of Ire land have it in their power to return at least seventy represen tatives, if they will unremittingly persevere in those efforts which are required to render their franchise available for the service of their country. " Patriots of Ireland—The destiny, not of Ireland alone, but of the empire is subject to your control in so far as human will can control the destiny of man. Doubt not that a nation's will can secure a nation's freedom if high purpose be sustained by resolute and persevering action. We bow, indeed, in reve rential submission, to the Sovereign Ruler of this world. We may not repine, even though it be his decree that this land shall continue to endure sufferings unknown to other nations ; but we are encouraged to earnest and hopeful action both by the divine precepts and by the experience which teach that Providence never fails to support, to strengthen, and to guide those who seek to attain righteous ends by virtuous means. " What aim can be more noble—what more holy, than that which aspires to accomplish the liberation of the country which gave us birth remain, my dear, Sir, very faithfully yours, " WILLIAM S. O'BRIEN. " To M. Ray, Esq., &c." Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL said that on the last day of meeting he felt it imperative on him to make an appeal to the Catholic hierarchy for a decided expression of their opinions with regard to the Colleges Bill, as certain statements, which had been uttered in different quarters, induced the belief that the amendments made to the Bill had rendered it satisfactory. Since then he had been honoured with a communication from Dr. Cantwell, Bishop of Meath, which pronounced emphatically that the education scheme, in its present form, had not the confidence of the Catholic prelates. The Hon. Gentle man then moved that his Lordship's letter be read and inserted on the minutes, and that the thanks of the Association be conveyed to him for this additional proof of his zeal for the happiness and welfare of his country. Captain BRODERICK urged upon the repealers an im mediate attention to the registry ; and read, e‘ a communi cation from Belturbet, which stated that Molly Ma guireistn" was still rampant in the county Cavan. On concluding, the gallant gentleman handed in 22/. 14s. lid. from Oldcastle, and read a letter from the Rev. Dr. Leonard, through whom the remittance was made, which contained the following passages : " This sum speaks loudly for a domestic legislature. It shows there is nothing temporal more anxiously sought for by the poor but spirited people of this locality. From the day on which Henry 11. placed his unhallowed foot on our beloved island we had many sad proofs of English affection. When we complained we were only reviled; when we trusted, we were betrayed; when we craved mercy, or eve n f a i r p l ay, we were only persecuted with some new kind of cruelty. The law (as we see in O'Connell's history) was often called in to devour what the sword had spared. Our Parliament, when we had one, was sometimes a safeguard. Our beloved country continues afflicted ; our cherished r e li g i on , if not persecute d , is grievously oppressed in the members of its religious orders. It is our duty to study concord, to cherish conciliation. We are temperate ; we must i be firm. Th e f awn i ng and short sighted policy of Engla n d s (I fear) going to try us with the thirty pieces of silver. We must be on the alert, or the spirit of Judas will take possession of us. Without being prophets, we can guess the object of the extended grant to Maynooth, well as that of the goalless education system. Wee see very clearly the result of the nicknamed Charitable Bequests Act, which robbed our poor of 26,0001. a year, be the same more or less ; and though I maintain there is an obligation of restitu tion, I will not mention upon whose shoulders I think it rests. Love of our beloved religion, and attachment to our country, were the objects most dear to the hearts of our predecessors in the faith—shall interest, or fear, or money, or hope prevent us from discharging the duties we owe to both? I answer em phatically, in the name of the Irish priesthood, never. If I dare ask a favour of two great men of whom we were once so fond—and I trust we will shortly renew our attachment—it would be that they would fling the robbing Bequests Act to the winds, as it has proved itself an enemy to charity, and con sequently an engine of hell. The godless education system won't fare better : see what it has done in France ; see what it has done in Germany ! And will not the same cause pro duce the same effect?" After the disposal of some further business, the rent for the week was announced to be 2071. 13s. 7d. The meeting then adjourned. IRISH PACKET STATIONS AND RAILWAYS. At the last Kerry Assizes a resolution was moved by Arthur L. Saunders, Esq., and unanimously adopted by the grand jury, to the effect that Sir Robert Peel be re quested to urge en the Government the necessity of ex amining the several fine harbours of the coast of Kerry, " so as to determine whether one or other of them may not be the most suitable of any in the United Kingdom as a packet station for intercourse with North Ame rica." This resolution was accordingly conveyed to the Premier, through the foreman, Sir William D. Godfrey, Bart. The following is Sir Robert Peel's reply : " Treasury, Aug. 13. " Sir,—l am directed by Sir Robert Peel to acknow ledge the receipt of the resolution which you trans mitted to him from the grand jury of the county of Kerry, relative to a careful examination of the harbours on the coast of Kerry, with the view of selecting a packet station for intercourse with North America. " The subject of the relative merits of harbours on the west coast of Ireland has, at different times, had the at tention of Government. but the selection of any one in preference to others for a packet station is a subject re quiring very mature consideration. The question is not merely as to the comparative extent and security of the harbours themselves, and the opportunities of access or egress for sailing of steam-vessels, but reference must also be had to the communications by land, and the facilities for connecting• them v.ith the interior of the country, and with Dublin. The progress of railways in the south-west of Ireland will be of material importance as an element in forming a judgment upon this subject. —I have the honour to be, your obedient humble servant, " JOHN YOUNG. "Sir William D. Godfrey, Bart., &c." DINNER TO THE LICENSED VIC- TUALLERS OF BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—To-day the Licensed Victuallers Protection Society of this town dined together at Vauxhall Gardens, in celebration of the 23d anni versary, and it was most certainly a very spirited affair. Mr. Sergeant Allen was to have presided, but owing to severe in disposition that gentleman was prevented from attending, but his place was very ably filled by Thomas Phillips, E , q., mayor of the borough ; supported by John Bourne, Esq., high bailiff; Councillors Rodn e y, P a l mer , A t ki nson, Baldwin, Alatchett, Cheshire. and several other members of the corporation, and several of the medical and other professional gentlemen of the town, amongst whom were S. Cox, Esq., E. Sandford, Esq., barrister; J. B. Payne, and deputations from London, Liverpool, Nottingham, Sheffield, Coventry, &c. Amongst those gentlemen from London were Mr. Walter, Mr. Elt, Mr. Wicker, and Mr. Wire. The dinner took place in a splendid pavilion, erected for the occasion, in the above grounds, and was conducted with much animation. Nearly 400 persons sat down to dinner, which was served up in admirable style by host Stewart. The cloth having been removed, The Mayor proposed in suitable terms " The Health of the Queen, God bless her." The toast was responded to with great cheering ; after which the admirable band of the Enniskillen Dragoon Guards (kindly allowed by Colonel Moore to be present) struck up the Na tional Anthem, and played it with great effect. The health of " Prince Albert" was next proposed by the Mayor, who observed that they had seen his Royal Highness in Birmingham, and had been extremely delighted with his affability of manner and great condescension. His Royal Highness had won the affections of all classes, not only in Bir mingham, but in every other part of her Majesty's dominions; he therefore proposed with all his heart, " The Health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert." Band—" Prince Albert's March." " The Health of her Majesty the Queen Dowager, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," were then proposed and warmly responded to ; after which the Chairman proposed " The Army and Navy," " The Noblemen and Gentlemen in both Houses of Parliament who have advocated the interests of the Licensed Victuallers of England," " The Authorities of the Town," " Success to the Birmingham Licensed Victuallers Associa tion," " The health of the President," " The County and Borough Members," " The Visitors who have honoured us with their company," " The Health of Charles Hibble and the United Towns Association," " The Gentlemen forming De putations from other Towns," " The Honorary Members of the Association," " The Incorporated Society of Licensed Victuallers of London, and success to their splendid charity," " The Press—more particularly that portion which has advo cated the cause of the Licensed Victuallers," " The Health of the Vice-President, the Treasurer, Committee, and Secretary of the Association," " The Warwickshire Lasses," " The Stewards," and " The Host." The company, in reply to these toasts, were addressed by Mr. William Cheshire, Mr. Cox, Mr. Wire, and several of the deputations from the various towns, after which the conviviality was kept up until an advanced hour.

WORCESTER, WEDNESDAY EVENING. —The first concert was given last night, at the fine old hall of the College, the ancient refectory of the monks. The company numbered at least 600 or 700, including the elite of the city and county. Handers Acis and Galatea formed the principal feature of the evening, and in our experience of the progress of musical skill this charming exhibition has never been more beautifully interpreted. To begin with the ladies. Miss Rainsforth sang the recita tive and following air, " Hush, ye pretty warbling quire," in a manner that won all hearts. The flageolet accompaniment of Mr. Chard rendered the whole a perfect gem. The Misses Williams took part in Adis and Galatea to night, but it was in the course of the subsequent miscellaneous performances, in singing a duet, composed by Hatton, " We are two merry laughing fairies," that the audience were, it may be said, " taken by storm," and awarded to them showers of applause, and a vociferous encore. Miss Whitnall, who, we believe, is a Liverpool lady, and who distinguished herself at Thalberg's concert in London, in Fe bruary last, sang a new ballad by Linley, " Thy spirit of love," to which she imparted a tone o f d e li c i ous me l anc h o l y worthy of the best stansas of Moore. Passing over a brilliant concerto (Mendelssohn), by Madame Dulcken, on the piano, which excited much surprise at the mechanical acquirements of the hand and arm, we come to the great gun of the evening, Herr Staudigl. To those who have heard his " I rage ! I melt ! I burn !" his " 0 ruddier than the cherry I" or his " Rage, thou angry storm !" our attempts at description would be impertinent; to those who have not heard him, they would be worse than useless. In extent of compass, flexibility, fervour, and purity of tone, his voice has certainly never been surpassed. The delighted audience, with foot, hand, and voice, demanded a repetition of the celebrated air, "O ruddier than the cherry," to which he immediately acceded with the greatest good nature. The effect will not be easily forgotten by the good people of Worcester. Of Messrs. Young, Hobbs, and Machin, we have just space to state that they fully maintained their reputation, but we fancied that Mr. Pearsall was something below the mark, and presented weak points (as indeed, what lover does not ?) in his, character of the unhappy Acis. The concert terminated just before midnight, with searcely a weary eye or ear among the audience. This morning (Wednesday) the performance at the cathedral consisted of a chronological selection of anthems, and Spohr's great oratorio of " The Last Judgment." The anthems were by various composers, from Tallis down to Havergal (a reverend gentleman now residing in this city, and whom we have seen at the present meetings, a delighted listener and participator in the services). The cathedral was again well filled. The opening concerto was ms.gnificently played by the band, under the leadership of Mr. tr,der. Next followed the old fine anthem (Psalm c. ) 0 4 . Tallis, and Orlando Gibbons's full anthem " Hosannah," Blo w 's, 'Vise's, Purcell's, Croft's, and Boyce's anthems, but the gem was Croft's " God is gone up with a merry noise." This effect, including that of the quintet by Miss A. Williams, Miss Whitnall, Messrs. Young, Hobbs, Machin, and chorus, was truly su bli me . Mr. HavergaPs chant, " Give thanks" (for which he received the Gresham prize), was " butchered " in one of its movements, which was accordingly begun again. After this followed an anthem (Psalm Iv. ) by Mendelsshon, the first time of its public perform ance, and to which, accordingly, the musical critics had looked forward with anxiety. The composition was well sus tained by Miss Rainforth and the chorus. The oratorio of Spohr's has been well described as an all-inspiring composition ; the subject itself is one which none but a genius of the highest order would attempt in its most lofty flight. It was first per formed in this country at the Norwich Festival in 1830, and fully established Spohr's reputation. So finely was it per formed to-day, that the unprecedented circumstance of a re demand for the solo and chorus, " Blessing, honour, Sze." took place The collection at the doors this morning amounted to 251/. 16s. 9d. Among the distinguished company we noticed Lord and Lady Leigh, Sir John Crmpbell, The concert this evening has been provided for by an ad mirable selection. There are, among other beauties, CRICKET.

THE COUNTY OF HANTS, WITH Box, PILCH, AND MARTIN.—The match between these two elevens terminated in favour of the Mary lebone Cub by 13S runs. CHARGE AGAINST AN AFRICAN CAPTAIN AT LIVERPOOL. Mr. Rushton, the stipendiary magistrate, was on Tues day afternoon engaged in an investigation, which had been ordered by Government, relative to certain charges which had been brought against Captain Glover, a member of the firm of Barton and Glover, of Liverpool. The origi; nal aspect of the case, as brought under the notice of our Government by a French Captain, was rather of a se rious character. Captain Glover commanded a vessel of sixty-seven tons, named the Lydia, which sailed from Liverpool to the coast of Africa. The crew consisted of eleven hands. The first mate was Benjamin Heseldine. It was alleged that when the Lydia was lying in the Gaboon river, Capt. Glover tied up a seaman by his wrists, with the tips of his toes just touching the deck, and then ordered the mate to flog the man ; that the mate refused to obey the order ; that, in consequence of this refusal, he was put in irons, and a number of black men conveyed him ashore at night ; that he was kept there almost without provisions ; that he was ultimately abandoned by the vessel, and left on the coast in a state of distress, without the means of returning to England ; and that he at length succeeded in getting a passage to Havre in a French vessel. The mate and captain were on Tuesday summoned before Mr. Rushton. Hesel dine stated that the above account of the af fair had been gleaned by the the French captain from the exaggerated stories of the negroes. The captain alleged that Heseldine had been a disobedient and insolent officer, that he had treated the crew harshly, and that he had threatened to take his (the captain's) life before he reached England. The log, written by Captain Glover, was put in in support of this statement, and Mr. Robert son, the surgeon of the Lydia, was examined at con siderable length. He deposed that Heseldine, who had been a sober and tolerably well-conducted officer up to the arrival at the coast of Africa, quarrelled with a seaman for having abused his mother, fought with him, struck at the surgeon for interfering, and for two hours after had to be prevented by main force from renewing the contest. In the evening, when the captain returned on board, and called him aft to inquire into the occurrence, he went with his sheath knife in his hand, owing to which two men were ordered to stand close beside and watch him ; and on the surgeon's report being read, he flatly asserted that there had been no disturbance. He was then handcuffed and put in the boat, and when there he abused and threatened the captain. The blacks who took him ashore to the Prince received orders to provide him with food, and three biscuits per day were sent ashore for him. There was no room in the vessel to confine him. Mr. Rushton thought that the conduct of the mate had been very blameable, and said that he would not require Captain Glover to find bail then. He would forward the evidence to the law officers of the Crown, and if any further proceedings were deemed necessary both parties should have notice. AQUATICS.—ROYAL ACADEMY BOAT-RACE.—The gentlemen of this highly respectable club rowed a pair oared race on Tuesday evening from Battersea to Putney for a pair of silver cups, which were won by Messrs. Atkinson and Wood cock.—The Oriel Club match occurred at about the same time and nearly over the same course, the start being at Battersea, but the race extending to Hammersmith. The prize was a pair of gold oars, and was gained by Messrs. Dodd and Botterell. The Marquis of Anglesey is sojourning, for the benefit of his health, at the Hydropathic establishment, at Sudbrook• park, near Richmond, conducted by Dr. Weiss. We are unaffectedly concerned to learn that the declining health of Mrs. Sheil, and of Mr. Sheil, jun., impe ratively requires a visit to the more genial clime of Madeira.— Tipperary F,ee Press. TROTTING V. GALLOPlNG.—Yesterday a match for 101. aside came off at Wimbledon-common, between Mr. Mould's mare, which was to trot in harness, against Mr. Williams's horse, to gallop under saddle. The contest was for two miles, and the former was to receive two hundred yards at starting. At the commencement the mare went away at a good pace, and concluded the first mile one hundred and forty yards a-head, and continued steady at work. The saddle-horse was following closely upon his opponent, but the number of vehicles in the immediate rear of the mare in harness prevented the horse passing, and Mr. Mould drove in the winner by one hundred and twenty yards, and accomplished the two miles of road in seven minutes anti ten seconds. _ DEATH OF LADY THEODOSIA HALE.—We have to announce the demise of Lady Theodosia Eleanor Hale, wife of Mr. R. H. B. Hale, who died on Saturday last, at an ad vanced age. Her Ladyship, who was the youngest daughter of the late Earl of Mayo by the only daughter of Sir Richard Meade, Bart., was married in February, 1807, to Mr. Robert H. B. Hale, by whom her Ladyship leaves a numerous family. The families of the Earl of Mayo, the Earl and Countess of Clanwilliam, Hon. General Meade, &c., are placed in mourn ing by her Ladyship's death. NEW EXTRADITION TREATY.—A reciprocal ex tradition treaty, respecting criminals, has just been concluded between France and Prussia. The principal crimes to which this convention extends, are—murder, parricide, rape, forgery, robbery, fraudulent bankruptcy, and forging counterfeit coin. The ratifications will be executed at Berlin in the course of the present month. " READING THE WlLL."—Last evening Mr. Mills held an inquest at the Flask, Flask-walk, Hampstead, on the body of Wm. Dobbs, a pensioner, aged eighty-eight. The inquiry occupied much time, in consequence of some relatives of deceased having entertained an opinion that he had died worth considerable property, which had been concealed by parties who were about him when he expired. The Coroner subjected the witnesses to a very searching inquiry, all of whom proved that the deceased had been most kindly treated by his landlord, and that all his wealth consisted of nothing more than his furniture, which boasted very little of luxury. Deceased's nephew, however, would not be satified without the will being read. Th e oroner, to allay the nephew's anxiety, had the will produced and read. The interest with which deceased's nephew watched the reading of the will was truly ludicrous, and his chop-fallen countenance, when he found that his uncle had made his will in favour of his landlord, and that he was cut off with an angry shilling, even made the Coroner smile. The jury returned a verdict of " Natural death." FATAL COLLISION OFF SOUTHEND.—On Tuesday Mr. Codd, the Coroner for East Essex, resumed and concluded a lengthened inquiry at the Crooked Billet public-house, Leigh, near Southend, touching the deaths of William Gilson, aged 25, the master of a fishing-smack, and his ap prentice, William Emery Ingram, who lost their lives by being run down by the Portuguese barque Durate IV., on the 14th instant, off Southend. Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, at tended to watch the proceedings on behalf of Wil liam Spence, the Trinity pilot, who had charge of the barque at the time of the occurrence. The barque left the London Docks for Oporto on the day above-mentioned, and on nearing the Nore, off Southend, a fresh breeze sprung up. Here several vessels were tacking up the river, and many fishing-boats, amongst which was the deceased's, lying to al most stationary, with their nets out. On the approach of the barque, the deceased master got up on the fore part of his smack, and waved his hand for her to port her helm, but her course was not altered, and she struck the smack right amid ships, instantly sinking her. The body of the master was washed ashore on the following morning, and that of the lad was discovered entangled in the rigging of the wreck. They were both on deck at the time of the accident, and were evi dently killed by the force of the collision, and not from drown ing. The afternoon was very clear, the tide being about an hour before ebb. A fisherman, named Ellis, satisfactorily proved the above facts, and further stated that the crew of the barque were all foreigners. He did not know the pilot, but, seeing a person crying and wringing his hands on the deck, he concluded that he was the pilot. Mr. Pelham addressed the jury at some length, and said that he took the whole respon sibility of the pilot's absence from that inquiry, which he had advised. He then produced a declaration agreed to by the captain, passengers, and crew of the barque, sworn before Sir C. Marshall, setting fcrth, that though the pilot had charge of the vessel, he had not the helm; she was steered by one of the seamen, a foreigner, to w h om th e pilot, on perceiving the dan ger, called out to " port, hard aport," but he, not understanding English, the course was not altered, and thus the unfortunate catastrophe was occasioned. The Coroner summed up, and, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against William Spence, the pilot," and the Coroner's warrant was instantly issued for his apprehension. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning, about half-past four o'clock, a van loaded with people, and driven by a man named William Wetherall, 25, Derbyshire -street, Bethnal-green, was proceeding at a furious rate towards Bow fair. Just as it arrived at Bethnal-green church a poor woman, named Ann Gayton, aged 73, the wife of a sawyer, living at '2, Charles-street, Globe-road, happened to cross; Wetherell called out witnout slackening his pace, but the pour old crea ture, either stunned with terror, or incapable from age and in firmity to rush from the danger, remained rooted to the spot, and the van, with its heavy load, passed over her body, break ing some of her limbs, crushing her jaw -bone, and inflicting several other serious injuries, of which she died in half an hour after in the London Hospital, whither she was instantly re moved. Wetherell, notwithstanding, still continued to drive on at the same furious rate, and might have escaped but for the activity of constable Kersey, 112 R, who stopped the van and took the driver into custody.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CONTINENT. COBURG, Auc. 23.—There has been no incident in connexion with the royal party here to-day that is worth recording. After the little excitement of the fes tival yesterday they have settled down into quiet again. After leaving the festival ground, they returned to the town palace, where there was in the evening a ball. It was over at an early hour. Supper was served at half past eleven, and the royal party returned to Rosenau at two o'clock. Her Majesty, the Prince, and the Duchess of Saxe Coburg (the wife of the reigning Duke) drove out to-day for a short time. They came into Coburg to see the museum and picture gallery. The rest of the party dispersed on pedestrian excursions to view the beauties of the surrounding scenery. This will in all probability be the history of the movements of the Conn here for the next few days—indeed, until Tuesday next, when Prince Albert's birthday is to he celebrated. The Court will leave the next day for Gotha, where they will remain four or five days, returning by way of Fulda and Frankfort to the Rhine, on their journey home. It is expected that there will be at Gotha a grand stag hunt, or rather a battue on a very large scale. The place on which the festival was held yesterday presented throughout the evening, and till a late hour at night, the appearance of a fair. The whole meadow glittered with lights, and there were long line's of booths and drinking tables ail filled with merry people. An odd and grotesque addition to this sc( ne of necturnal revelry presented itself in the shape of al fresco cooking pieces, where, on fires made of heaped fir branches, enor mous gridirons were continually covered with still more enormous sausages, which were handed round among circles of greedy purchasers, on whose faces the lurid light of the fires produced an effect quite Rembrandt like. Then there was also a travelling theatre aks Ri chardson, where tumblers and posture-makers performed their jests to a gaping audience ; and gigantic merry go-round', with hobby-horses and carriages, mounted or filled with people of both sexes, produced the most 'ab surd combinations of effect possible, as they whirled madly round to the music of polkas and other airs played by a capital band. And although the people were as merry as _ they could be, what made this German fair so pleasing was, that there was no drunken ness or indecorum. The people here seem always to re member what is due to themselves. They do not, in the midst of their enjoyment, lose by excess the faculty of enjoying The beauty of the neighbourhood of Coburg increases upon you the longer you stay. From every point fresh views open, and with the most delightful variety. Kids lenberg, the favourite palace of the reigning Duke, dis tant about four miles from Coburg, commands some of the finest prospects. Like almost all palaces or " resi dences" around, it is perched on an eminence, which is reached by winding roads through a plantation, quite as beautiful as th at w hi ch leads to Rosenau. The interior of the palace is fitted up in the most elegant and at the same time "comfortable" style. Indeed, it deserves to be so characterised more than royal residences generally. There is no ostentation or display such as is met with in " show places," but everything is of the most perfect workmanship, and in the most exquisite taste. This summer palace is not built on a grand scale, but, like Rosenau, it has more the air of the residence of a private gentleman. The architecture is an odd mix ture of the turretted style with the cottage orrtee, and the effect is very pretty, although the materials are incongruous. Ilene the Duke and Duchess spend the greater part of their time during the fine weather, and a more delightful retreat could not well have been selected. Like everything else in and around Saxe Coburg, it belies the vulgar notions entertained in Eng land as to the German style of living and manners. The Duke is fond of sporting, and keeps here a small pack of hounds. The residence is full of evidences of his in clination this way. One room, for instance, is almost entirely filled with emblems of the chase, worked into all imaginable ornaments. The easy chairs are made of antlers. Another room (the Doke 's private study) is filled with engravings of every sort of sporting, French and English. The country, however, from being so much wooded, is not well adapted for field-sports gene rally ; but a large preserve of wild boars is maintained at a short distance from Kallenberg. Attached to the palace is a neat private chapel, in which the English spectator is surprised to see the crucifix on the altar, as in Catholic churches. But this is a very general custom in the Lutheran churches of Germany. To. night the Queen and the chief visitors at Rosenan attend the theatre in Coburg. The performance will be Sthiller's Bride of Messina. The Duke of Saxe Meinin gen is expected to join the dinner party to -day. COURT CIRCULAR. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken an airing on the sea beach on Monday morning.

They bid me seek at Common Law The business others gain, But if I e'en tried Chancery My efforts would be vain. 'Tis true that many I behold Who by reporting get What I ue'er could, by pen or fee, To my extreme regret. They tell me there are many now, Who in their early day Were aided by the press, but I Don't care for what they say. I only say I've struggled hard Reporter's work to get, But can't ; and so 'gainst those who can I'll make the deadest set.

Since the toondation of the hospital, the total number of in patients was 6,210; out-patients ( including poor marriekt women in the midwifery department), 56,825—making a gross total of 63,035. ACCIDENT TO TIIE HON. COLONEL IL A SCELLES, OF TIIE GRENADIER GUARDS.--We have much pleasure in stating that this gallant Waterloo officer is not in so dan gerous a state from the effects of the serious accident which befel him on Monday last. as is generally supposed. It ap pears that as the Gallant Officer was riding on Monday fore noon, on turning a corner he gave the animal on which he was, mounted a sudden spur, which occasioned a plunge on its part., and the sudden effort had the iirro-diate effect of unseating the rider, who, as might be expected, was somewhat injured. The Gallant Officer was conveyed to his residence, 35, Upper Grosvenor -street, adjoining that of the Marquis of West minster, and the assistance of sir Benjamin Brodie and two. other medical gentlemen, who are still in attendance, was ob tained. It appears that the right - eye is somewhat cut or: bruised, but is not forced from the socket, as stated, and awe shoulder is injured.
