Miss Delcy, the daughter and pupil of Mr. Rophino L acy, made her rentrie at this theatre last evening. Our residers may remember that this young lady made her debut here some four years since, and rietonished and delighted the public by the power, q ual ity, and compass of her voice. Since that peri l od sh e h as been devoting herself assidu 01.1y to the cu l t i vat i on o f h er ta l ents, an d the greater part o f the interval has been passed by h er in Italy. We are happy to say that h has realised every expectation that was formed of her . Sh e left U 3 thepromising young singer—she returns the Cinderella, accomplished artiste. The character of in which, if we mistake not, she made her debut, was chosen by her for her rentrie. The music of this part aff or d e d amp l e scope f or the ex hibi t i on o f h er povvers of voice, and her improvement was marked. She executed Rossini's beautiful music with the grßatest care and exactness; her intonation was exceedingly pure, and she showed her taste by not overloading the music with fioriture. We have seldom heard the, delicious finale, the far-famed " Non Siu mesta," g i ven with greater taste and purity. he was admirably supported by Mr. D. W. King as Felix. This gentleman possesses great taste, and his voice, which is a tenor of good quality, has been well cultivated. He will prove a decided acquisition to the corps operatique of Drury -lane. Stretton's Dan dini, too, was excellent ; his humour was exceedingly rich without being vulgar. He promises to become the first of English buffos. Harley was the Pedro, and kept the audience in a roar by his quaintness as long as he remained on the stage. Miss Delcy was called for at the conclusion, and received with the most enthusiastic plaudits. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET, MONDAY EVENING. The Trial Stakes did not fill.

Indifferent, however, as the list confessedly i s , t h e G rand Duke Michael Stakes was a sufficient inducem en t w i t h many of the leading patrons of Newmarket to d e f er ph easant s h oot i ng f o few days, for the p urpose of see i ng whether, across the a the fiat, Foig-a-ballagh would b e ena bl e d to retainthe laurels he so gallantly trying course at Doncaster;--the over the lon g er and more Hopeful and Bucken ham Stekes, to which, and the Duke Michael, the day's sport was confined, also excited some interest, as bringing out three winners from the Goodwood and Daneb ury stables—viz., the Maid of Orleans, Cowl, and Monimia colt. Important, however, as these races were, speculation was not very extensise, the pretentions of the favourites out of the first two having been so superior as to hold out very slight encouragement to the "fielders," it turned chiefly on naming the three win ners, at 6 to 1, 5 to 1, 4 to 1, and finally 5 to 2, the horses named being the Maid of Orleans and Foig-a ballagh for the two first events, and the Monimia filly for the third, except in one or two bets, in which Cowl was selected.

One found in a field adjacent to the Links Pot of the men employed on the ground was in the act of digging in amarsh or pool, called for the work on Saturday last, called Mary Fair's Hole, which has lately been drained, when he turned up with his spade about s. 100 drained, besides a considerable amount of Shilling and sixpenny pieces. Thepoor fellow was as sured he had discovered a prize of no ordinary value ; but the dazzling vision which met his view of growing "instant rich" suffered a sudden change, for upon exa mination not one to beof his goupee of silver pieees was found genuine. An immense quantity of the same species o base m etallic ore has been excavated every -day darin f g the week from the same spot. Some juvenile excav ators are carry i ng it about in baskets.

A third, who appeared a stranger to both, followed, entered the same house at the same time, tied after a short time laid a wager of 10/. with the sailor that the latter could not unlock th e d og ' s collar ; a wager which was instantly secs by the though t l ess tar. The proposer of the sage put down five s overe i gns and a 51. note, an ple instantly followed by the sailor, who made several ineffectual efforts to open the padlock of the Collar. Then the owner of the dog said it was useless to make any further effort s , and pp away w te og, quickly foll owed by the suosed went stranger, ith who h in d the first instance proposed the wager, and who, upon his departure, took up the sailor's instead of his own money. Thoughtless Jack Tar proceeded to deposit the other 10/. in his fob, when a lookenon, who suspected that all WIIS not right, advised him to count his cash. Upon his (king so, instead of " good and lawful coin of the realm," he found substituted a flash !I. note and five counterfeit • sovereigns. The poor fellow's distress was great. During the greater part of the day he was pacing up and down • Tower -street, Thames -street, an d t h e v i c i nity, deplor ing his loss , as he intended to have brought home to his family the whop 9f his sayings. HER MAJESTY AT BLAIR ATHOL. BLAIR ATHOL, SUNDAY. The otter hunt yesterday was one of the most inte resting and picturesque scenes ever witnessed in this part of the country. The sport was not of a first-rate order, as the otter which Lord John Scott had brought with him from Roxburghshire had been too long cabined in his wooden cage to enable him to receive with be coming respect the attention of eight couple of huge hungry hounds. Wh.n the poor amphibious little animal was turned out from his box he showed but little disposition to take the water, and, as he crept along the sedgy banks of the river, he knew of none of those " shady blest retreats" and rocky recesses which these animals select for their local habitation, the country was unknown to him, and as one of the keepers (who had not derived as much benefit at Major Dalgetty's for his education at the Marisehall College at Aberdeen), re marked, the river Garry was a terra incognita in which he knew not where to find shelter from the murderous fangs and jaws of his enemies. The deep baying of the beautiful hounds, whose symmetry of form was scarce concealed by their glossy shaggy coating, and the un daunted pluck which they evinced in coming to the charge after they had been severely bitten by their prey, and their pertinacity in following up the scent, excited the admiration of all who witnessed the scene. The queen happily experienced no inconvenience from her exposure to the weather ; after the return of the royal party to the Castle, the rain ceased at intervals, and Prince Albert, accompanied by Lord Glenlyon, sallied forth to Ben Neri, when his Royal Highness succeeded in killing two fine roes. Her Majesty drove out in the afternoon, which, despite the murky indications of the morning, turned out to be extremely beautiful. The royal dinner party of last evening consisted of the usual members of the suite, with Lord and Lady Glen lyon, the Hon. Miss Murray, the Hon. Captain James Murray, Captain Drummond, of Megginch, and Mrs. Drummond. Lord John Scott had also the honour of receiving an invitation ; but as his Lordship had not the necessary attire, his Lordship dined in the mess room. Since the arrival of her Majesty at Blair Athol, seve ral persons have brought presents, consisting of various articles of Scottish manufacture, from places in the vici nity, for her Majesty or the Princess Royal. Plaid dresses and shawls, of every hue and clan, have poured in from all parts of the country, but they have all been declined. A woman, who brought a bonnet from Dun. dee for the Princess Royal, sent it to the Castle,, and when it was returned to her, as her Majesty had courteously intimated her intention of accepting no presents, the woman refused to take it, and accordingly a sum of money has been sent to her by order of her Majesty. Preparations on an extensive scale are making along the road throughout the whole line of country through which her Majesty will pass from Blair Athol to Dundee. On Tuesday morning, at nine o'clock, the royal party will take their departure, and will arrive at Dundee at three in the afternoon. The • 60th Regiment will form the gaard of honour at the embarkation of her Majesty, and detachments of the Scots Greys are now billeted at Blair Gowrie, Cupar Angus, .Moulinearn, Dunkeld, and other stations, to form the escort. _ The country people and the substantial burghers from the towns in the neighbourhood have been flocking into the quiet little village of Blair Athol, with bevies of flaunting damsels and kilted Highlanders, from all quarters. Carts and carriages have rattled in from all quarters; but their gaily-dressed occupants are doomed to be disappointed, as her Majesty will not go the kirk this morning. Divine service will be performed at the Castle this morning, as was stated in our paper of yes terday.—Post. IRELAND. MINISTERIAL MEASURES FOR IRELAND. DUBLIN, SEPT. 29.—Rumours, traceable to official Tories, are in circulation here of very decided measures for this country to be proposed by Sir Robert Peel early next session. One of these measures, it is said, will be the establishment of a new Lay College, on an extensive foundation, for Roman Catholics and Dissenters; another has reference to Maynooth, which, it is stated, is to re ceive an increased grant, with stipends for the pro fessors. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2, 1844. THE ARMY. LIMERICK, SATURDAT.—Lieutenant-Colonel Cator, R.N., Lieutenant• Colonel G. Higgins, R.11.A., and Major Kelsall, R.E., returned yesterday in the Flamer steamer, to this garrison, from the inspection of the forts on the Lower Shannon. A military force from this garrison was under orders yesterday, to proceed to the lands of Shewer, near New port, to protect the representatives of the late Dr. Dug gan in levying a distress for non-payment of rent, but as the recusants entreated a parley, time was given to settle the dispute with the agent, Mr. Mills. The cavalry, therefore, were countermanded. Two companies of the 72d (Highlanders) from Butte ♦ant arrived at Cork, yesterday, to replace the 61st, marching to Templemore, and three companies of the 72d marched into Cork barracks this day. Head-quarters of the 11th Hussars (three troops) Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of Cardigan, arrived at Dundalk yesterday from Dublin. Head-quarters of the Bth Hussars, under Lieutenant- Colonel M'Call, marched from Dundalk yesterday for Dublin, where two troops of the regiment arrived this day, and occupy Portobello barracks. THE MARQUIS or DONEGAL.—We are happy to be able to state that his Lordship has for the last day or two been rather easier, and that there is some reason to anticipate a change for the better.—Be fast Chronicle. Mr. O'Connell is to be a sponsor to the new-born son of W. S. O'Brien, Esq., M.P. CANADA. THE NEW APPOINTMENTS.--D. B. Viger, native of Lower Canada, advocate, large proprietor at Montreal, many years a distinguished member of the Lower Canada Assembly and Legislative Council, twice sent to England on public business; in gaol at Montreal eighteen months in 1838-9; member of Canada Legislative Assembly for the County of Richelieu, voted generally with the late Administration, uncle to L. J. Papineau, late Speaker. D. Daly, native of north of Ireland, about twenty years in Canada, came out as a private individual, was acting secretary and registrar of Lower Canada for a number of years, afterwards was promoted to the office. Took little share in politics. Appointed by Lord Syden ham one of the provincial secretaries under the Union Act, and elected member for Megantic. Since Mr. Har rison's resignation he has been sole provincial secretary. Has property in Quebec. William Henry Draper, Attorney-General for Upper Canada, a native of the north of England, formerly in the navy, has been upwards of twenty years in Upper Canada; studied law at Toronto, we believe, with the present Chief Justice; was many years a distinguished member of the Upper Canada Assembly, and practitioner at the bar ; was in England on public business some years ago. Appointed Attorney-General and Executive Councillor by Lord Sydenham, resigned in September, 1842, and since Legislative Councillor and Queen's counsel. William Morris, Receiver-General, a native of Ren frewshire, Scotland, came to Upper Canada about 30 years ago, engaged in trade ; was a conspicuous mem ber of the Upper Canada Assembly, and a Legislative Councillor under the Union Act ; a wealthy proprietor and of good practical talents. Denis Beejamin Papineau, Commissioner of Crown lands, native of Lower Canada, member for the county of Octave, brother to L. J. Papineau, Speaker of the Lower Canada Assembly, has had the management of the Seigniory of Petite Nation, on the Ottawa, well in formed and good abilities, but his hearing imperfect. James Smith, Attorney-General for .Lewer Canada, was formerly in partnership with Mr. Fisher, as advo cate at Montreal; in good practice; supposed to be a native of Montreal. _ None of the new executive councillors had any inti mate connection with the executive councillors in Upper and Lower Canada before the Union Act, but were rather opposed to them. TUNBRIDGE WELLS, SEPT. 30.—Notwithstanding the advanced period of the season this place continues full, and balls and concerts are still proceeding. The last of these was Madame Puzzi's annual concert, which took place at the Assembly Rooms on Saturday, and was attended by all the principal families, she being well known and much esteemed here. Among the artists were Mr. and Madame Balfe, and it would be difficult to describe the sensation the former created, it being his first appearance here ; everything he sang was encored. Madame Balfe was also encored in her ballad, " When I hear thy voice," which she sang with much taste. The wonderful extent and brilliancy of Mademoiselle Favanti's voice was greatly admired in " Il Segreto " and other arias; and Mr. H. Chatfield executed scientifically a very difficult cavatina of Pacini. Signor Brizzi, who is an old favourite here, sang " La terra ci divisera," with that pathos peculiar to him. Signor Puzzi, who has been an extraordinary traveller lately, obtained the same success which everywhere attends him. In Balfe's ballad, " You'll remember me," ho expressed so entirely the meaning of the melody, that the audience forgot that the horn cannot speak. IMPROVEMENTS IN PICCADILLY.—On Monday, by direction of her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests, workmen were employed in the erection of a pillar upon the summit of the western portion of the gate at Hyde-park corner, which is intended for the reception of an illuminated clock. The clock will have two dials, via., one facing llyde-park, and the other fronting Grosvenor-place. This, doubtlessly, will be as useful as it will be ornamental, a public timepiece having long been wanted in that immediate locality. The plan for widening the road has also at length been begun ; it is said, however, that it will not be completed until the en suing spring. The removal of Lady Gordon's house, and the garden which belonged to it, together with the appropriation of a small portion of the Green-park, will occasion that section of the important thoroughfare to be of equal width, from the residence of the Duke of Grafton to the archway at Hyde-park corner. A further improvement is in contemplation, that of removing the remainder of the brick wall which is standing between Albert-gate and Kensington, and substituting iron palli sades. The parish of St. George, Hanover-square, agree to keep the roadway in repair, as far as the encroachment on the Green-park is concerned. On Saturday, a French man-of-war barque, Pre voyante, and a man-of-war cutter, Favourite, stood off our harbour, when eight of the officers and a boat's crew of the sailors landed, and made a tour through the streets of the ancient town. The uniform worn by the officers was similar to that worn by those of our own navy, but their personal appearance at once bespoke them foreigners, and hence they attracted some observa tion. After making some purchases of provisions, they returned to their vessels, which, in the afternoon, sailed for the south. They had been to the north of this, and, on the Sunday, and again on the Wednesday previous, were in the Leith Roads. Their object was the protec . ttoa of their herring fiehery.—Berwich Advertiser. LITERATURE. HISTORY OF TEN YEARS. Chapman and Hall, London, 1844. The present Part of this History of France, by M. Louis Blanc, commences with the Royalist insurrec tion of the Duchess de Bern in 1832, and closes with the trial of Armand Carrel for sedition, before the House of Peers, in the year 1832. The history is written with remarkable spirit and eloquence, and in a tone of bitterness, as respects Louis Philippe, that proves the author to be a most inveterate opponent of that crafty monarch's system of policy. Not less de termined is he in his prejudices against the Bourgeoisie, to whose malign influence he attributes in a great de gree much of the humiliation which he represents France as having endured since the establishment of the Throne of the Barricades by the Revolution of 1830. M. Blanc is a decided Republican of the school of Armand Carrel—a school which during the last six or eight years has been subject to considerable fluc tuations in point of moral and numerical influence, and is now, we believe, at a lower ebb in France than it has been at any time since the accession of the pre sent King to the throne. The author's account of the rise, progress, and final extinction of the insurrection of the Duchess of Berri, and more especially of the sanguinary riot that took place in Paris during the funeral of General Lamarque, when the Orleans dynasty was within an ace of being overthrown, and a republic proclaimed on the ruins ;—these matters are detailed with much graphic vigour by M. Blanc, and are enlivened by characteristic anecdotes which greatly add to their interest. We quote his portrait of Mar shal Maison, and of the course of conduct pursued when nominated French Ambassador to the Court of St. Petersburgh : " Habitually rough and abrupt from his soldier's life, but retaining all the shrewdness of an intelligent peasant, he had no sooner arrived at St. Petersburg than he formed the resolution of taking his stand there as an in dependent plain dealing, plain spoken mac. His first in terview with the Emperor passed off auspiciously. A number of Russian officers and noblemen were waiting in an ante-room, where were also the M a rsh a l' s two aides de-camp, MM. Delarue and Chasseloup Lanbat ; but, though the former had before visited Russia, and formed an intimacy with several persons of the Court, none of them ventured to recognise him until they had taken their cue from the looks of the Emperor. By and bye, their master entered, looked graciously at the two aides de-camp, advanced towards M. Delarue, whom he had known as aide-de-camp to the Duke de Ragusa, and taking him apart into the embrasure of a window, con versed with him in a marked tone of favour. The next moment, M. Delarue was the object of the most eager and universal attentions ; everybody came up to him, everybody asked him questions, everybody remembered that he had seen him on a former occasion, everybody remembered that M. Delarue bad honoured him with his friendship. This scene, the very puerility of whi c h i s fruitful of reflections, distinctly announced that the French Embassy was about to assume, at the Court of St. Petersburgh, a better attitude than before, And so it turned out, for the position of Marshal Maison, from the very first day, grew more and more important. Certain private circumstances contributed to this effect, which, at first sight, might seem to have been calculated to produce quite a different result. One day, at a grand dinner party given by the French Ambassador, the conversation having fallen upon the first wars of the Revolution, the Marshal found occasion, incidentally and without the least affectation, to mention that he was the son of a peasant of Epinay. It is easy to imagine the effect pro duced upon a circle of aristocrats, nurtured in idle vanities, by an admission such as this, made with per fect ease of manners, nay, with the pride of a man justly proud of having owed all to himself. The Emperor was very speedily made acquainted with what had taken place, and it probably increased his esteem for the Marshal. Even the very faults of the Marshal were of service to him. He had retained, from his soldier's life, a license of manners which he took no pains to conceal, and age had not extinguished in him the fires of youth. At St. Petersburgh, a passion for a dancer took posses sion of him, and he disdained to make a secret of it. The imprudence of this was great ; for Nicholas, careful of his dignity, affected extreme austerity. But he liked the Marshal's open ways, his military frankness ; and the escapade was not only overlooked, but there was established between the Emperor and the Marshal an intimacy, wherein a freedom of conversation was per mitted, which no Russian courtier, however great his credit at Court, ever dreamed of aspiring to. There is a severe chastisement which pride in high places re ceives at its own hands—ennui ; and the haughtiest sovereigns are so much the wearied slaves of their own lofty and isolated majesty, that, to relax a little, they are sometimes compelled to descend. Whether from this weariness of supreme rank, or from exceptional tolerance, the Emperor came at last to lend an affable ear even to the most free spoken temerities of Marshal Maison, and the latter profited, as ambassador, by the influence which was accorded him as soldier." MEDICAL REFORM BILL.—CHATIIAM, SEPT. 30. The members of the medical profession resident in the borough of Chatham convened a meeting for the purpose of petitioning the House of Commons in the next session of Parliament, against the Medical Reform Bill pro posed by Sir James Graham, when it was contended that the Bill in question would be productive of the most disastrous results, both to the medical profession and the public, by opening the practice of medicine to all un qualified persons without restraint. A petition was then drawn up, and the chairman, Mr. Archibald Robertson, submitted it to the members; it was unanimously agreed on, and has since been transmitted to the Right Hon. G. S. Byng, the Member for the borough. A copy of the petition has also been forwarded to the Members of West Kent, with a request to support its prayer. BONDED GOODS.—It having been discovered upon a recent inspection of the goods deposited in the bonding premises at ono of the quays legally approved for the deposit of goods under bond, that the landing marks upon many of the packages were nearly obliterated, and that great difficulty has in consequence been experienced in ascertaining the identity of the goods, the Commis sioners of the Customs have directed that the landing surveyors and other officers do take care in future that the initials of the importing vessel and the master, the date and the weight, be marked in a more legible manner on all packages of bonded goods at the time of the same being landed. FROST, WILLIAMS, AND JONES.—On Monday even ing there was a numerous meeting, principally composed of the operative classes, held at the Guildhall, Newcastle, the object being to petition the throne for a recal of Frost, Williams, and Jones from banishment.—Tyne Mercury. CARICATURING THE CLERGY.—" I believe," said Lord Eldon to Mrs. Forster, " I have preached more sermons than any one who is not a clergyman. My father always had the Church service read on the Sun day evenings, and a sermon after it. Harry and I used to take it in turns to read the prayers or to preach. We always had a shirt put oa over our clothes, to answer for a surplicel"—Tzeiss's Life of Lord E&lon. SOUVENIR MR A SAILOR.—" What can I give you for a keepsake, my dearest John ?" sobbed out a senti mental girl to her scapegrace lover, the Hon. Jack V—, about to join his ship in warlike times. "Give, my dearest angel," cried Jack, in some confusion, " why, why, you haven't such a thing as a 51. note about you, I suppose ?"—Aberdeen Herald. .1 he King of Prussia has been graciously pleased to confer on Mr. Martin Farquhar Tupper the gold medal for science and literature, in token of his Majesty's high approbation of the " Proverbial Philosophy." FOLE.ESTONE.—We have much pleasure in being able to announce a continuation of increase, not only in the steam traffic at this port, but also in, the arrival of several vessels of large tonnage, two with about 14,000 sleepers for the railway, besides large balks of timber, and others laden with coke, coal, salt, &c., the whole of which will tend materially to benefit the South-Eastern Railway Company as well as the town. When it is more generally known that ♦essels drawing 15 or 16 feet of waterAcan enter our harbour, there is no doubt but that many owners of ships who hare been hitherto ignorant of the advantage our port holds out to them will be induced to send large freights. Our passenger traffic to and from Boulogne by the steam-packets now averages about 1,000 to 1,200 each week, being a considerable increase. not only upon past weeks, but also upon the corresponding weeks of the last year, when the novelty of a passage from this place and Boulogne induced laany persons to visit France who otherwise, perhaps, would not have done so.—Canterbury Journal. LAZARETTE ESTABLISHMENT IN SOUTHAMPTON WATER.—The Mayor has received an intimation, that the application from the Town Council to her Majesty's Treasury, praying for the establishment of a Lazaretto in the Southampton Water, has at length been acceded to. The Lazaretto vessel will arm ive here on the sth of October, and there will be accommodation for the recep tion of 8,000 packages. This will be a ♦ery important advantage to the commerce of the port, the want of a Lazarette establishment having forced the Peninsular Company to send their ships with freights from the Levant to Standgate Creek, and thence to London, in stead of discharging them here. There will be, of course, a considerable establishment of officials in con nexion with the Lazarette.—Hants Independent. EXPORTATION OF HORSES.--MT. Dyson, the Lon don dealer, being commissioned to purchase forty-two brood carriage mares for the Prussian Government, twenty of his selection having arrived at Colley's Para gon Inn stables, were shipped on Saturday last, by Kerr Von Nathurius, per the Transit, Captain Dickinson, for Hamburgh, en route for Hundisburg. The remaining twenty-two, selected from the horses assembling for Howden fair, arrived at the Paragon stables yesterday, and arc intended to be shipped to-morrow for the same destination. The demand for English horses still con tinues in Prussia.

MB WOODEN PATEMENT.—On Saturday last was agreed to unanimously, at a vestry held in the parish of St. Marylebone, that part of the wooden pavement in the said parish should be removed, and that a granite pavement should be substituted. THE LATE MURDER AT DOVER.—Various rumours have been prevalent during the week respecting the cap ture of the murderers of police-constable Couchman, but we arc glad to hear, from good authority, that at last such a clue has been obtained of the lurking place of the three Clarks, that, if not already in custody, there is but little doubt of their being apprehended before to-morrow (Tuesday).—Dover T elegraph, THE NEW SHERIFFS. On Monlay afternoon, the presentation of the new Sheriffs (Messrs. Aldermen Hunter and Sydney) took place in the Court of Exchequer, before the Cursitor Baron (Banks), at Westminster. The civic procession arrived shortly after two o'clock, by water, accompanied by the state barge, with the Lord Mayor and the civic authorities, at Westminster-bridge, when his Lordship and the Corporation immediately proceeded to the Court of Exchequer, where they were received by the Cursitor Baron and a large body of spectators. His Lordship and Sheriffs elect were ushered into Court by the several officers to the Chief Baron. The REconntat addressed the Court to the following effect :—Mr. Cursitor Baron, I have the honour to pre sent to this Court William Hunter and Thomas Sydney, Esqs., chosen by the citizens of London to fill the office of Sheriffs of London and Sheriff of Middlesex. Mr. Hunter has been for upi'ards of twenty years a member of the Corporation of London, and a representative of the Ward of Coleman-street, in the Court of Common Council; placed during that period in nearly all the standing Committees of the Court, he has been succes sively called upon to fill the chair of each Committee. On the retirement of Sir 'William Heygate, occasioned by the election of that gentleman into the office of Chamberlain of the City, Mr. Hunter was unanimously chosen Alderman of the ward he had so long and ably represented in the Court of Common Council, and he has now the happiness to find that the opinion formed of him by the inhabitant householders of his ward, founded on an experience of his character and conduct for so many years, is entirely in accordance with the sentiments of the citizens at large. The Livery of Londoa having conferred upon Mr. Hunter the shriev alty on Midsummer day last, he will, at the expiration of his year of service, have perfected the legal qualifica tion of candidates to fill the office of Chief Magistrate of our ancient city. The Livery have appointed with Mr. Hunter a gentleman and a merchant of London ex tensively known, esteemed universally, and in every re spect worthy of the same important trust and distinc tion. And I may be permitted to anticipate the accus tomed forms and solemnities of admission into office, when I announce to you, Sir, the fact of Mr. Sydney's recent election as alderman of the ward of Billingsgate so recent, indeed, that the interval required by law be tween election and admission had not expired when the Court of Mayor and Aldermen were assembled on Satur day last. The transaction in which we are now engaged is not au idle and unimportant ceremony—a vain and empty pageant. The citizens of London (the metropolis of the commercial world) in the exercise of their ancient and chartered right—of' their undoubted right to place whom they will, as " Sheriffs of London, and Sheriff for the metropolitan county of Middlesex," here, in her Majesty's Court of Exchequer, present these gentlemen, thus discreetly chosen, in token of their loyalty to the Sovereign, and in the exercise of a great public trust, wi h which the administration of the law, and the liberty of the subject, are intimately connected ; exhibiting, after the lapse of centuries, the unabated energy, the usefulness, and the security of free popular municipal institutions, which, taking root in the foundations of the monarchy and the Constitution, have grown with their growth and flourished with the increasing prosperity of the empire. The Recorder, in a few words, complimented Mr. Musgrove and Mr. Moon, the gentlemen who had just filled the offices of Sheriffs of London and Sheriff of Middlesex, so much to the satisfaction of their fellow citizens, and to their own honour. The CURSITOR BARON then addressed the Recorder to the following effect:—llis Lordship said that to the Court of Exchequer exclusively belonged the duty of recognising and superintending the rights and privileges of the citizens of London to choose their own magis tracy and sheriffs, which rights, after many centuries, were granted to them by the Crown, and after having been severed froni the royal prerogatives had been given to the citizens of London, which they had retained up to the present moment, and which these gentlemen, on the part of the citizens, attended to claim. The Learned Baron said he fully agreed with the Learned Recorder that this was no idle pageant in which they were en gaged, but that it was a solemn recognition on the part of the Sovereign to the authorities of the first city in the empire, of their full rights and privileges, and on behalf of her Majesty that Court fully recognised the rights and privileges which were claimed at their hands. The Cursitor Baron then paid the Sheriffs elect and the late Sheriff a high compliment for the manlier in which they had been chosen by their fellow-citizens. He then said it must be a gratification to the gentlemen who had just retired from office that they had received the unanimous thanks of their fellow-citizens, and he trusted that when the term of the year of office expired with the Sheriffs elect that they would meet with the like high and cheer ing reward, which would be the highest reward that could be paid any individual ; and on behalf of her Majesty he begged again fully to recognise the rights and liberties of the citizens of London, and the Baron desired the officer to record the names of the Sheriffs elect. The usual ceremonies of the Court were then per formed by Alderman Thomas Wood, as the senior Al derman (not having passed the chair), doing suit and service by counting the hobnails and horse-shoes, and chopping sticks, after which the civic procession re turned by water. Monday night the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex gave a grand banquet in honour of their inauguration into their high office at the London Tavern. Alderman William Hunter, the senior Sheriff, presided, supported by his colleague, Thomas Sydney, Esq., the Lord Mayor of London, the Lord Mayor elect (Alderman Gibbs), the Chairman and Deputy-Chairman of the East India Com pany, Lord J. Russell and W. Masterman, Esq., Mem bers of Parliament for the City of London, a very large number of the Aldermen, including Alderman Salom ons , the Recorder, &c. The :limier and wines were of the first order, and neither pains or expense appeared to be spared by the providers of the feast in furnishing an en tertainment worthy of their character and of the occa sion. One feature of the scene was not less important, though perhaps not quite so obvious, as the good cheer displayed on the well-covered tables—namely, the ven tilation of the room.. It appears that it has been thoroughly ventilated by artificial means, and the comfort and pleasure felt by the whole party, gave every reason to believe that the reality did not I fall short of the appearance. About two hundred and seventy gentlemen sat down to dinner, and the gallery was filled with ladies. A military band was in attendance, and a company of glee singers added greatly to the entertainment of the evening. The routine toasts on such occasions—namely, the Queen, the Queen Dow ae,er, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family, and the Army and Navy, were drank with the usual enthusiasm. The health of the Lord Mayor and the Lord Mayor elect were drank, the former with considerable approbation, the latter with some manifestation of dislike on the part of a portion of the company. In replying to the toasts of the " Members for the City of London," Lord J. RUSSELL, after thanking the Sheriffs and the meeting, observed that the example of the City of Lon don was looked up to by the whole country for freedom and commerce, and by following that example England surpassed every other nation in the world.—(Hear.) The country at this moment enjoyed the inestimable blessings of peace ; if it were a peace obtained by the dishonour of the English name, it would not be a bless ing but a curse ; b u t h e was happy to say that it was one in which the honour and best interests of the nation had been consulted. In conclusion, he trusted, that when the time should come for the Members for the City to relinquish their charge, they would be found by their constituents not unworthy of the honour that had been conferred on them.—(Hear.) The remaining toasts were then disposed of, and the party broke up about eleven o'clock. BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK RE, GISTRATION. The revision of the list of voters for the opulent and extensive borough of Southwark was commenced yes terday at the Town-hall, by S. C. C. Fish, Esq., the barrister appointed for that purpose. On the Revising Barrister taking his seat, the over seers of the various parishes delivered in lists of persons entitled to vote in their respective districts. The revision of the lists was then proceeded with. Several persons who had claimed had theirs disallowed, as they did not appear LO substantiate them. The REVISING BARRISTER said that persons who had claimed to have their names placed on the register must appear before him, to make out their qualifications, other wise they would be disallowed. Mr. Sydney Smith, who appeared on behalf of the free-trade interest, said the Revising Barrister was em powered to call upon the overseers, in the absence of claimants, to prove from documents in their possession that they (the claimants) were properly qualified to vote for Members of Parliament. The REVISING BARRISTER said if persons who claimed did not attend to make out their qualifications, he did not think he should be justified in calling upon the overseers to do so, as their duties were sufficiently onerous, and they ought not to be put to additional trouble by the negligence of claimants. claimed in resp ec t o f a port i on o f a Waterloo-pla ce , i n w hi c h h e hojusoeh,n si C tu o a v te en d tr a y tkp. 6, had resided for 19 years, and for which he paid a weekly rent of Bs. Mr. Sydney Smith, who supported the claim, made an observation concerning the duty of the overseers, in re spect to proving the sums for which persons were rated. The REVISING-BARRISTER (with warmth)--What are you, Sir—in what capacity do you appear here ? Mr. Sydney Smith said he attended as an agent to support certain claims. After some further discussion the claim was allowed. The claim of a person named Peter Taylor was dis allowed, because the rates had not been paid. The landlord of the house bad been in the habit of paying the rates, but in this instance he had not paid them within the time required by the Act of Parliament. In the revision of the list of voters for St. George the Martyr, the name of Nathaniel Nichols, of Bethlehem Hospital. was objected to by a Mr. Matthews, as net being duly qualified. His name, and the names of the Rev. James Garrett, the chaplain of the institution, and John Thomas, who holds a situation in it, were struck out. -- The revision then terminated. There w e r e ver y f ew claims o f and n terest! objections, and none of th em i nvo l ve d any A MAN KILLED ET A BULL.—A man, named Daniel Jones, a tenant of Mr. - William Thomas, draper, Carmarthen, was tossed by a two-year-old bull, on a farm in Llanllawddog parish, on Wednesday. The animal threw him high into the air, and as he fell caught him on his horns and again threw him. his death al most immediately ensued. The verdict returned by the coroner's jury, who met at the house of the deceased, Clwtancochon, was to the effect that Daniel Jones had met with his death, but how did not appear in erid'inee. —Welshman. 1 CRICKET. TIM A MATEURS WITH HILLYER. AND MARTINGELL V. THIS COUNTY OP Esszx, WITH A. Mrxs, Esg., AND PILCII.—Tbis was the seventh annual match between these distinguished elevens, and was played at Abridge, in Essex, on Friday week (by an accident the score did not come to hand until last Saturda7), upon which occa sion there was much fine play exhibited. The singular feature in this match was the different results upon the score, in reference to the given men ; for whilst llillyer and Martingell, on the part of the amateurs, marked respectively, 16 and 13, Mr. A. Mynn and Pilch placed two round. 00's between them. But the bowling of llillyer and Martingell was of the finest character, and it is not at all unlikely—for such a thing is possible— that they may have played too much lately, or a pair of " spectacles" would not hare been manufactured by such players as Mynn and Pilch. It was a " one day's" match, however, only, and therefore the amateurs won by 54 runs. NOTTINGIUM v. GRANTLIA.II.—This was an excellent contest for the display of scientific hitting, but it will be remarked that the Grantham folks stood not tho "ghost of a chance" against the splendid batting of Mr. F. Noyes, Morley, Billyeald, and Galloway, nor could they make any effective stand against the admirable bowling of Mr. Cresswell and Redgate. It unfortunately hap pened that the weather, after the contest had occupied the greater part of Monday and Tuesday, became so bad as to induce the parties to abandon all idea of playing the match out. LUTTERWORTII V. WALCOTE.—The match .between the clubs of these places was played a few days since, when, in consequence of the excellent slow under-band bowling of Wilson of Lutterworth, his party were de clared to be the winners by 23 runs.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Your frequent advocacy of the right of the poor to enjoyment, as well as the rich, induces me to address you. As there is now so much talk of new parks and pro menades for the people in town and in country, I think we ought to see that the people do enjoy what at present they have a right to. This morning, going into St. James's Park (the inclosure), two men were - before me, apparently mechanics; they had not, however, proceeded many yards, when they were very unceremoniously turned back by an official. They had no baskets of tools with them, bags, or anything else in the shape of goods. A gentleman passing at the time, and I suppose feeling the poor men were treated harshly, asked the gatekeeper why he turned the men back. He was anything but civil to him, but said he acted under orders. On another question or two being put, he (the official) said he had a " discretionary power," and acted accordingly. Dis cretionary power in a gate-keeper Yes, so far that that power be exercised not to admit dogs, all very good; but let us not admit discretion further. Two men dressed in fustian are refused admittance into the in closure, while two thieves, if dressed, pass the gate without challenge. I am an assistant draper, and perhaps we may hear of a rule next week to prohibit young men from going in who wear white cravats.—l remain, your constant reader, Fleet-street, Sept. 30, 1844. VERAX. THE CMSAREAN OPERATION.—The following ac count of one of the most extraordinary occurrences in the annals of sporting has been sent us by a highly re spectable correspondent, Mr. John Lufkin, of Frating:— On Wednesday, the 11th inst., I went to Little Bentley for the purpose of having a day's shooting, and having put up my horse and cart proceeded in my pursuit, and after having several hours' good sport I was making the best of my way back, when, as I was crossing the last field, up jumped a hare before me, which I shot, and on picking her up I took my knife and made an incision under the belly, to let the lad who was with me carrying my game take out the intestines (which is a thing I fre quently do). On this occasion, however, I found three young ones, which I saw from their coat and Oneral ap pearance were very near the time of their birth. I made my lad carry them and put them on straw at the bottom of my cart; and asl rode home the sun was shining very bright and warm, so that by the time I had proceeded two or three miles the young hares were quite dry and crawling about the bottom of my cart. As I passed through the village of Great Bentley I gave them to a blacksmith whose name is Almond, who I knew was fond of bringing up all kinds of young animals, and he immedi ately procured some new milk and gave them, from a bottle with a quill put through the cork, and by which he is successfully rearing them: he is supplied with what milk he wants from the Rev. Mr. Heath's, who lives just upon the spot, and they take about half-a-pint daily, beside- -vegetable food, which they begin to eat freely. I saw thelis myself on Wednesday last, quite plump and healthy, and I should say quite as large as they would have been had they ',so n leaned and reared in the natural way. You will find from the dates that they are now just a fortnight old.—Essex Standard. DEATH OF A RECENT PRISONER IN THE HoIJSE OF CORRECTION.—M onday Mr. W. Baker, jun., held an inquest at the White Horse, Goswell-street-road, on the body of Mary Ann Daly, aged 22, recently a pri soner in the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields. It appeared that on Thursday week last deceased was dis charged from the House of Correction, in which she had been imprisoned a month, for disorderly conduct on the streets, within the jurisdiction of the Clerkenwell Police court. Half the term of her imprisonment she passed in the prison infirmary, her ostensible malady being palpi tation of the heart ; and although Mr. Wakfield, the prison surgeon, wished h e r t o rema i n un til s h e s h ou ld be convalescent, she would not, and left on the day above named. She was accompanied by one of the prison matrons, and taken to her lodgings, No. 14, Peartree street, St. Luke's, and was about to become an inmate of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, when she died on Wednes day last. Mr. Mungo Park, a surgeon, who had opened the body, said deceased died from inflammation of the lungs and mortification of the extremities, caused by a disease which shame prevented her from discovering to the prison surgeons. Verdict in accordance with the medical testimony. DARING ROBBERY.-011 Monday morning, about a quarter past eight o'clock, a daring robbery was com mitted in the shop of Mr. Samuel Kilby, general dealer, 2, Talbot-court, Gracechurch-street. Three men, re spectably dressed, and one of them carrying a dark coloured cloak or coat over his left arm, were seen by the waiter at the White Lion Tavern, in Talbot-court, to stop when they got abreast of Mr. shop ; but, as they had the appearance of travellers, no particular notice was taken of them. It appears, however, that one of the party went into the shop, leaving' his two companions at the door, and purchased a sheet of letter paper from Mrs. liilby, who was the only person serving in the shop at the time, the husband being absent on business. lir. Kilby has been in the habit of keeping his cash-box in the private sitting-room on the shop floor, placed on the mantel-piece over the fire, or upon a table in the room. It was on the table yesterday morning when the paper customer entered. On his leaving the shop, his accomplices entered, and asked to be served with two sheets of letter-paper, which was done. After they had left the shop about half an hour, it was dis covered that the cash-box, containing about 46/., had becen stolen. The thieves appeared to be about forty years of age. No trace of them has been got. No doubt, the theft was committed while the two customers were being served. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On the evening of Wednesday last a very melancholy affair occurred at Dollerie, two and a half miles east from Crieff, arising from the in cautious use of fire-arms. It would appear that two young lads, one of them the eldest son of Mr. Mill, who occupies Dollerie-house, and the other also in his ser vice, had both gone out in the dusk of the evening, for the purpose of shooting a roe, which was proving rather destructive by its frequent attempts upon some of the csorn stooks. Mr. Mill's son was to start the roe, while the other lad was to use the gun, which he had loaded ; both separated for a time, and while the former was en gaged beating up at a bush, or small thicket, the latter made his appearance, and seeing the bushes moving, thoughtlessly concluded that the roe was there, and im mediately fired off the piece. His error was now, how ever, lamentably apparent ; the young man lay upon the ground in great distress, having received the con tents of the gun in his abdomen. Intimation of the ac cident was immediately conveyed to the house, when Mr. Mill had his son carried home, and a messenger in stantly dispatched to Crieff for a surgeon. In a short time Dr. Shaw, with Messrs. Leitch and Maxtpn, sur geons, were in attend4nce ; but the wound was of so fatal a nature th.dli medical skill was of no avail, and he lingered on, enduring groat sufferings, till next day, when they terminated in death. The deceased was six teen years of age, and by this sad event a large and re spectable family have been plunged into the deepest sor row. The boy has since been taken into custody, and examined before the Procurator-Fiscal ; but was ulti mately released, until further inquiry be made on the subject.—Perth Paper. FATAL ACCIDENT ON WESTMINSTER•BRIDGE. --- On Monday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, a young woman, whose name is at present unknown, was run over, whilst crossing Westminster-bridge, b - , cart loaded with hay, which was g o i ng towards the:isicddiesex side.

Pst miester Hospital, LONDON AND PARIS FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER. (From the World of Fashion.) CAPS.—Les petits bonnets a la Paysanne are still much in favour, having little or no trimming upon the front; then we have those composed of lace, and decorated with a wreath of toques of pink ribbon ; ethers with an open foundation of English applique lace, ornamented with a wreath of very light flowers. A very charming style of fancy cap, which is worn at the present moment, are those composed entirely of fullings of Brussels lace of two colours; for instance, pink and white, and pretty roses of the same colours intermixed, or one formed of boullions of pink and cerise coloured net, intermixed with wreaths of gera nium to match. BoNNETs.—The most favourite material for the present style of bonnets in the velours d'Afrique, and white the prevailing one for afternoon dress ; they are generally decorated with a weeping kind of graceful feather; those in pale pink satin are also much in re quest, ornamented with wreaths of flowers peeping forth from a tulle, and drooping in a bunch on each side. The generality of bonnets are but very slightly decorated; they are still continuing to be made very shallow at the ears ; the crowns simply trimmed with nceuds of ribbon. EVENING DRESSES.—A dress of tarlatane muslin, either pink, French blue, or white ; the corsage is made very low and busque ; the top of the corsage being encircled with a double plait of the same co loured satin ribbon as the dress ; the sleeves very small and similarly ornamented ; the skirt a deux jupes ; the upper one forming a tuiiie,--akd descending half way down the leg, and surrounded with a very broad hem opening all the way up the left side, each side of which opening being edged with a double plait of ribbon ; towards the centre a bunch of natural flowers of the same colours attach the two sides to gether, a similar bunch being placed upon the centre of the top of the bust, and in the hair. REDINGOTES.—Those a revers, and with the very open corsage, will, we have no hesitation is saying, continue a favourite style during the winter, if we can judge by those new ones which have recently appeared. Those we most admire are made in Pekin silk gris perle; the facings of the body, sleeves, and skirt being of pink plush, and corded with grey and pink throughont ; the under dress up the front in rich embroidered inlet, divided with Valen ciennes ; sleeves and cazenout pareil. Those which are closed up the fronts are mostly in sombre colours, such as dark g reen, or blue or black s ati n , an d de corated with large fancy buttons, called Marquise, in silk or jet, surrounded with a resille or net work, which has a very rich effect upon velvet or satin ; the Richelieu buttons are also much in favour; they , are placed in the centre of a small roseate of passe menterie, which encircles it in the same way as those coques of straight ribbon. DRESSES.—Those that have actually appeared for autumnal dresses, and more decidedly of the demi soison kind than is usual at this season of the year, les moires satins, poult de soie, and velore d'Africa, being the materials now much in vogue for out-door costume ; whilst bareges, coloured tar latans, and organdi, retain their favour for after noon toilettes. We have remarked, as worthy of at tention, a very pretty style of dress, composed of a dahlia-coloured barege ; the corsage gauged, and the throe volants forming the trimming of the skirt, the top one headed with three very narrow folds; others striped blue and white, are very pretty, trimmed with a broan flounce en bias round the skirt, and headed with a fulling of the same ; corsage plain and low, with oriental sleeves trimmed also with a fulling and under sleeves of muslin ; then there is the balzo rine satinee, a very favourite material, made with a plain skirt and stiffened low a la vierge, with long Amadis sleeves. A chemisette a la vierge is worn under the body, buttoned upon the shoulders. A scarf of plain cameleon-coloured silk, and a capote of gros de Naples, decorated with a branch of Dydy namias, finishes this elegant promenade costume. CLOARS.—The style of those which will be most worn in the ensuing season, is the following, which we select for its extreme elegance and simplicity, composed of black satin, pousseire, or dark blue. This cloak is formed with a corsage and ceinture un pue busque : a pelerine or cap is attached, ample round the back, and opening at will under the fall of the arm, the front part designed in the form of a fichu, with broad facings attached with buttons ; the sleeves wide, and bouillonnees with broad facings or cuffs : in order to render the sleeve perfectly easy, it is put into the arm-hole slightly fulled on the top; the skirt reaches to a little above the level of the bottom part of the dress, the fronts being laced on each side, and attached up with buttons. The look of this kind of cloak is much enriched by the facings being made of velvet, and buttons of jet. COLOURS. —The prevailing colours for the present month are so intermixed in their colours and shades as to render it a matter of some difficulty to decipher them. We can, however, announce as most fashion able, shades of light and dark green, deep shades of olive, blue, de la reine mixtures of cerise and blue, violet and brown, pink and lavender, blue and violet, aile pe mouche, and the beetle's wing. BRIGHTON, SEPT. 30.—The Magnet left the Pier this morning fur Dieppe, with a number of passengers, among whom were the Earl of llowth and family, Sir William and Lady de Bathe, Lady Wombwell, &c., &c.

PORTSOSEN WARD.—OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF THE POLL.—On Monday afternoon, at five o'clock, a wardmote of the ward of Portsoken, adjourned from Friday last, was resumed at the late workhouse, in the board room, Cock and Hoop-yard, iloundsditch, to re ceive the official declaration of the poll, upon the elec tion of an Alderman, in the room of Alderman T. John son, on which occasion there was a numerous attendance of the electors, principally of the Jewish race. Mr. D. Salomons arrived a few minutes before the Lord Mayor, accompanied by his friends. Mr. Sheriff Moon was not present. The Lord Mayor, preceded by the mace bearer and the sword of state, having taken the chair, announced the result of the poll to have been for Mr. D.

Here we have the strange phe nomenon of a person eating heartily, perhaps too heartily, and still craving more ; such a person complains of a " sinking" of the stomach, and is always relieved by good wine and brandy, provided that the digestive organs, and the liver in particular, are not pre viously injured by their use. This will be denied by all those who are influenced by " total abstinence ' doctrines, because, until very recently, we have been in the habit of viewing all food for one use only— namely, nutrition, overlooking in our philosophy the other great function in the animal machine—namely, the generation of the galvanoid force, which is to the body what steam is to the ship, or what gravity is to the earth as a planet.—Professor Schultz.

The Act of Union is now denounced, and is sought to be repudiated, by men of weight and influence in the Conservative party, whose exertions were for merly employed to maintain the order of things, as it was settled by the Act of Union; by whom repeal was contemplated as fraught with calamities to Ireland, and repealers were deemed malignant rebels, whose machinations were but little less than treason ; whose purpose it was the duty of Government to overturn by the power of the law, enforced, if necessary, by mi litary execution. The reversal of the judgment against O'Connell and the other repeal leaders, added to the absence of any remedial measures for the grievances of the people, by which the popular feeling might be con ciliated, has produced a deeply-seated conviction—even among a large number of Protestant Conservatives— that the existing relations of the two countries, or the mode in which Ireland is at present governed, must be materially changed. The Dublin Mail (which is, beyond comparison, the best written and most widely-circulated Conservative journal in Ireland), in alluding to Dr. Maunsell's speech on his motion brought before the Town Council of Dublin on Wednesday last, "for an address to the Queen, praying her to hold her Court and Parliament in Ireland once in every three years," says, that the Learned Doctor's speech on the occasion has excited more attention among the citizens of all classes and denominations, than any project of a sane character that has been propounded in this land of pro jects for some years. It appears also to be universally popular, notwithstanding the truly Irish paradox of its not having had a seconder." The cause of Dr. Mann sell's motion not being seconded, and its consequent failure, is thus explained by the same Conservative organ :—" The handful of Conservative councillors who so magnanimously deserted Dr. Maunsell, were to a man in favour of the proposition • but it came so suddenly upon them that they had not time to learn what would be thought at the Castle of their voting for it ; therefore they valorously stayed away from the meeting, or, as was the case with two or three individuals, they went there to render themselves ridiculous by making it publicly known that they were in favour of the movement, but had not yet received the signal to juin in it." For Conservatives to devise such a mode of suppressing the repeal agitation, and divest ing O'Connell of the influence which he holds and exercises in Ireland--and this is one of the argu ments adduced to recommend the scheme of an am bulatory Court and Parliament—is indicative of the change that has come over the spirit of the party since the defeat of the prosecution they counselled the Government to institute against both. They . evidently despair of entangling O'Connell in the meshes of law, and abandon all hope that the Government will risk the defeat of another prosecu tion. They have, therefore, set on foot a counter agitation. A proposed change, as chimerical as that of O'Connell's repeal of the union, is launched on the restless waters of popular discontent; and numbers commit themselves to this crazy project, believing that it will deprive repeal of its influence, and afford to the distracted and suffering population a refuge from the accumulating grievances which afflict the country. Another section of the Conservative party in Ireland is busily engaged in discussing and recommending a Federal Parliament project. This they also believe will wean the national mind from repeal, and provide a remedy for the numerous causes which have pro duced the present disorganised condition of society in that country. This project the Belfast News Letter (a Tory journal) regards as little less mischievous than repeal ; but states that its projectors are daily receiving accessions to their ranks from among the Protestants of the northern province, and that a formidable agitation for its adoption is rapidly organising:—" We deem it necessary to be plain with our readers, and to is form them, without disguise, that the crisis of Ireland's fate is approaching, and that whole masses of nominal Protestants are preparing, not to join the O'Connellite movement in the first instance, but to adopt a sys tem of organisation which, without any effort on his part, will-enable O'Connell to carry his most ambi tious schemes to an easy and triumphant issue. In these remarks, we refer in an especial degree to the plan of federalism, which is now beginning to be openly supported by men who have hitherto stood high in the ranks of Conservatism ; and let no mistake exist—federalism is repeal in all its essential ele ments, the only difference between the parties being as to the quality and powers of the legislative assembly which is to be established on the ruins of the union settlement. By both the Act of Union is denounced, and doomed to utter abrogation." It is not to be regarded with surprise that the Irish Con servatives, as a party, should be dispirited and be wildered. They plainly see that the policy of Sir Robert Peel's administration in Ireland is doomed to failure. With respect to the nation, it has effected nothing. Its only positive attempt to do something was a specimen of " craven courage," the proceedings under which were marked by a reckless disregard of those high principles which ought to characterise the acts of a Government. The process of law degenerated into a struggle for party triumph. A court of criminal jurisprudence was degraded by being made the arena of a paltry contest between political gladiators • and the very judges sullied the purity o f th e ir robes by descending from the bench into the arena of strife. No wonder that the proceeding was deprived of moral influence ! The public looked on the protracted pro ceedings without a single sentiment of respect. The verdict was denuded of all claim to moral convic tion of its truth ; and without the concurrence of pub lic opinion in the finding of a jury, the result is a mockery of justice. The abrogation of the monster proceedings was hailed by the mass of the people as triumph of right over oppression ; while the minority, who had counselled the prosecution, or hoped that a sustained conviction would silence O'Connell, and thus afford a triumph to their party over a trouble some political opponent, now reproached Ministers, as the authors, with a failure for which they were not chargeable ; and, as is not unusual with a defeated party, having been foiled in the held, employ their weapons against each other. STANDARD.—The oracular Times has at length broken silence on the subject of the mayoralty, and, as might have been anticipated, insists that it could have prevented the election of Alderman Gibbs to the civic chair, had it been so disposed ! But mercy is an attribute of valour, and our Contemporary has, according to its own account, exercised extraordinary forbearance in the matter. It dwells with much self gratulation on the success of its resistance to Mr. Ald. Wood and Mr. Ald. Harmer, although con strained to admit that the cases of those gentlemen were by no means analogous to that of Mr. Gibbs. On the contrary, whilst its charges against the for mer gentlemen were clear and well defined, it has (it says) "assumed nothing" against Alderman Gibbs — organised no opposition to him ! The readers of its columns during the last fortnight will know what degree of credit to attach to these assertions ; and will be enabled, from . _the evidence of their own sen ses, to say if a persecution was ever organised s s e a d ru e a n g t ain s y st stem any of public man than that which has been hounded on by t he Times a g ainst the Lord Mayor elect. From the heavier metal of its leading columns, and the " long range" of Mr. Rock, to the tiraillage of scores of petty assailants in the guise of correspondents, whose small arms have been directed through its medium at the Alderman, every attempt has been made that it was possible to make to keep him from the civic chair. Need we remind our readers of the cleverly concocted and most elaborate forgery by which it was attempted to prejudice him with his he fell i o m w e ; citizens - and the refusal of the Editor of.nt the e T body to contradict, ' either as an advertiseme ld n e a e r erous ea already rejected by the Livery ; .0 0 u a rn i a Y s.

But the Livery of London were well aware of the character of their monitor, and the motives which prompted its denunciations, and attached no more importance to them than they de served. Its influence, exerted to the utmost, has been tested, and found, so far as the City of London is concerned, insufficient to enable it to crush one poor alderman ! This is a mortifying discovery ; and we accordingly give our Contemporary credit for the sin cerity of its desire that the " affair may now be con ' aeed to oblivion." A DOG NINE WEEKS WITHOUT — FOOD.—About nine weeks ago a terrier bitch belonging to James Mar shall, Greenside, was, through mistake, locked up in cellar, and remained there till a few days since, when, on the door being opened, she was found alive, but in a very feeble condition. She was reduced to skin and bone, unable to walk, and almost blind, having been all that time without food. On giving her some warm milk, she was partially brought round again, and continues t$ improve,— SCO tsman.
