CONTRA IMINAL CO T. GENERAL ASSOCIATION. IRELAND. At a MEETING of the GENERAL ASSOCIATION, held at the Great Rooms, Corn Exchange, Dublin, Dec. 1, 1836, PETER PURCELL, (of Halverstown, in the County of Kildare) Esq., in the Chair. It was moved by THOMAS Boyst, (of Bannow, County of Wex ford) Esq.—Seconded by DANIEL O'CoNNxLL, Esq., M. P., and Unanimously Resolved—That it having been ascertained that Lord Baron Lyndhurst has asserted, in his place, as a Member of Parliament, that the great and overwhelming majority of the Irish people are " aliens in blood, aliens in language, and aliens in reli gion," from the 'British people, we do deem it a sacred duty, so lemnly, and in the face of the entire British nation, to proclaim our deep conviction, that the said Lord Lyndhurst is an enemy, at one and the same time, to the peace of Ireland—to the stability of the connection between those countries—to the liberty of the people, and to the safety of the Throne. Resolved—That the foregoing Resolution be advertised in the "Morning Chronicle," " Morning Advertiser," " Globe," " The Sun," and " Courier" London Newspapers, and in the usual Liberal papers of Dublin.

This, the thirty-eighth annual show of fat cattle, which on all occasions produces so much interest amongst the noblemen and gentlemen who have evinced their anxiety for the improvement of all the stock throughout the country, and which ultimately tends to the benefit of the community at large, by enabling the consumer to procure the best qua lity of meat at reasonable prices, takes place this day at Sadler's Repository, Goswell-street. The Judges, Mr. Chas. Stokes, of Kingston, Leicester shire ; Mr. Edward Franklin, of Ascot, Oxon ; and Mr. Hirst, of Langdon, Warwickshire, having been engaged the whole of yesterday in making the awards, adjudged to the breeders and feeders of the undermentioned cattle the following prizes for stock, properly qualified, according to the general and peculiar conditions of the show : 9 to 1 was taken about Defender to 501., and offers were made in two or three quarters to back him on the same terms, but nothing was done. Dardanelles was in great force with several parties, and one gentleman succeeded in getting on to the amount of 2001. at 17 to 1 ; the others failed as the terms did not suit. Mango was backed for 150/. at 25 to 1, and the taker would have continued at the same odds, but the subse quent offers did not exceed 20 to 1. Cartoon was likewise up, four or five parties thinking themselves fortunate in getting on at 30 to 1. 20 to 1 offered against Flare-up, and, at the same time, offers to take 6 to 1 against the lot, a pretty strong proof that matters are not so bad with this son of Lamplighter as one or two of his backers appear to apprehend. Not a word was said about either Brother to Bay Middleton or Jereed. The following were the closing prices :- 5 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's lot—take 6 to 1 9 to 1 agst Mr. Sadler's Defender—taken 16 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Dardanelles—take 17 to 1 16 to 1 agst Captain Gardnor's Phantasima colt—offered 20 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Flare-up —offered 22 to 1 agst Mr. Wreford's Wintonian-.-take 25 to 1 25 to l agst Mr. Greville's Mango—taken 30 to 1 agst Lord Lichfield's Cartoon—taken 35 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Sambo (Rosalia)—taken 35 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Brother to Cactus—offered THE PORTLAND HANDICAP, P. P. (ACCEPT OR NOT. ) 6to 1 on the field ; 7 to 1, and afterwards 10 to 1, betted against Lord Lichfield's Elis ; 7 to 1 offered agst Lord Jersey's Bay Middle ton ; and a small sum betted even between these two.

Soft fell the dew, and mild Was the morn, That lovelily opened, that wakened the dawn ; Soft tell the dew in its exquisite sheen, Real love might be pictur'd, true bliss might be seen. I have seen that dew fall, I have seen that morn break, And the sun all resplendent in glory awake ; That sun cast a shadow, but the shade when I met I found was enrivalled by Warren's Black Jet. That Blacking has beauty I thought not to view, Till in my bright boots I my face could review A splendour unrivalled my boots now assume, Since polished by Warren's,—by Warren's Jet Bloom. This day was published, in 2 vols. Bvo., price 1/. 1 ls. 6d., AHISTORY of the LIFE of EDWARD the BLACK PRINCE, and of various Events connected therewith, which occurred during the Reign of Edward the Third, King of England. By G. P.

While some alterations were being made in the pavement in the yard behind Mr. Ralph Smit's house, in Bridge-street, the workmen dug up a quantity of coal. Curiosity dictated a further search, and the consequence was, that at the depth cf about six inches from the surface, they came upon a seam of coal, which measured three feet one inch in thickness. The quality has been put to the test, and is pronounced excellent. The treasure, however, has not been improved, but has been again covered with the earth. Several years ago a similar discovery was made in Eastern-lane ; the present, there fore, appears to be a continuation of that seams—Berwick Advertiser. A suicide of an extraordinary character, which has carried desolation into the bosom of a family honourably known in the mercantile circles of Paris, was committed last week by a young man named L-----, scarcely 20 years of age, engaged with his father in business, who was remark able for his gloom and melancholy. A short time ago the father of this young man underwent a dangerous surgical operation, the result of which appeared to be looked for by the son with the great est anxiety. On Tuesday last, the operation having been performed with the most per fect success, L-- fell upon his father's neck and em braced him in the most tender and affectionate manner. Im mediately afterwards he left the house in a sudden manner. A few hours elapsed without his being missed, but one of the clerks having got up into a part of the premises used as a warehouse, was horror-stricken to behold the son of his em ployer hanging from one of the rafters of the roof, perfectly inanimate. At his feet there was a pool of blood, and in his side, near the region of the heart, a deep wound, from which the blood was still flowing ; near him ky a pistol, recently discharged. The unhappy young man had written on the wall with charcoal, that tired of life he bad long resolved on self-destruction, but had postponed the execution of his project until he should be quite sure that his father was out of danger. When discovered he had his feet in a bucket, and a board fastened to his back. A piece of paper was afterwards found in the apartment, on which he stated that his reason for placing his feet in a bucket was to prevent the bl oo d f ro m running on the floor, and the object of the board was to prevent the ball from entering the wall in the event of its passing through his body ! All surgical assistance was found useless, as the ball had passed through the heart, COURSING. ANDOVERSFORD MEETING. Andoversford Cup and Sovereigns.

SCULLERS' WAGER BETWEEN WATTS AND KIPPING.—The match of yesterday unfortunately inflicted another disappoint ment upon the admirers of this sport. Indeed, the idea of a scullers' wager in December does not appear to be strictly within the regular order of things. There is a wonderful dis parity in the weight and physical power of the men, and it was almost folly to back Kipping against Watts, admitting the odds of 121. to 101. were given by the latter. There was every thing equal as to the boats. Watts had that of Mr. Laxton of the Leander, and Kipping the black boat built for Mr. Col quhoun, for his contest against Mr. Wood for the silver scull's wager. At half-past one both men started, and Kipping had canvassed the black boat, in order to avoid the wash, which was immense. Watts had the station on the Middlesex shore, and on the start being ordered he was very tardy, Kipping having the lead well. Watts was gaining on him at the Horse ferry, and Kipping made him hug the shore very closely. Watts made a desperate push, and Kipping held his scull under his adversary's stem. The two " shells" came together. Kipping sat over to hindward in his boat to keep her up, and when Watts got off his adversary shipped about two pailsfull of water on the larboard side. Kipping still rowed on, and Watts shot the point to Tuggy's mill beautifully; Kipping fol lowed, but swamped in the attempt, and as his boat sunk be neath him he was helped into his cutter. Watts continued at his leisure, and arrived at Putney without any accident. There were two eights out, as well as the Club boat of the Leander. There were but few spectators. Several wherries were there, but principally manned by Watermen. Kipping rowed with determined 'game, but he was overmatched. Betting at the start was 2 to 1 on Watts. PIGEON SHOOTING. Mr. Bowden, the spirited proprietor of the Chalk Farm Tavern, yesterday gave a very superb gun by Manton, to be shot for. The match was open to all England, but handicap ped by distance. There were 13 members, at one guinea each, charge limited to two ounces, seven birds, and 25 . yards rise to those who have won public prizes. The birds, supplied by Barber, were beautiful, and the wind being high, the match must be considered as most excellent. Mr. Withers, Mr. Wil liamson, and Mr. Bowden each killed six of their birds ; the latter, from his style of killing, perfectly eclipsing the crack shot, Groom, who missed three of his birds ; indeed, this gen tleman has been very unfortunate lately. In shooting the ties off, Mr. Williamson killed five, Mr. Withers four, and Mr. Bowden three. ARCHERY. The Robin Hood bowmen bad a strong muster on their closing day (for the season), on Wednesday, at the Archery Grounds, Bayswater. Several prizes were shot for ; the most successful archers were Dodd (their Lieutenant), Drury, Betty (their Captain), Chieslie, and Hardy. The competi tion seemed to excite much interest amongst a numerous as semblage of spectators and friends. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

Mr. Adam, the legal adviser to the Duke of Bed ford, has forwarded a letter to the Secretary of the Com mittee of Pr o p r i e t ors o f D rury -l ane Th eatre , o f w hi c h t h e following is an extract :—" I have no hesitation in autho risng you to acquaint Mr. Bruges, the Solicitor to the Com pany of Proprietors, that I will recommend his Grace to make a permanent reduction of 5001. a year upon the rent %of Drury-lane Theatre, which Ido not doubt his Grace will adopt ; but it must be upon condition that the renters and bondholde rs consent permanent l y to t h e re d uct i on men tioned in Mr. Burgess's statement, viz., the renters to the extinguishment of 7501. a year (3d. per night), and the bondholders to take 21 per cent, in lieu of the interest they now receive ; and it must be shown that these extinguish ments have been made before his Grace's consent to the ~permanent reduction of 500/. a year be Signed." On Saturday last one of those very serious accidents which too frequently occur from the improper use of fire arms happened to a young woman (daughter of a poor man named John Sacket) who was in the service of Mr. Whit low, of Churton. It appears that she went out into the yard about noon, on Saturday, and on returning into the house met one of Mr. Whitlow's sons (a boy about nine years ofd), with a gun pointed towards her ; she imme diately asked if it was loaded, and the reply was that " it wa s, and cocked too !" Scarcely had these words been spoken, when the gun was fired off, and :lint the young woman dead on the spot, the whole charge having entered the head.—Chester Courant of Tuesday. AN AQUATIC HARE.—As John Wilkinson, car man to Mr. Stone, Romney Wharf, Millbank, was stand ing on Monday morning near the coal-barges off the wharf, he was astonished t o o b serve a poor hare s w i mm i ng w i t h t h e stream in an almost exhausted state. He succeeded in drawing it from the water with a hitcher, and after rubbing the poor animal for nearly two hours it entirely recovered, .and began to frisk about the counting-house, although it is s upposed that it must have taken water near Erith (as it came up with the flood), where the Kent harriers have for the last week b een out. The effect pf its aquatic excursion has been to render the animal perfectly tame, and to use the captor's own ex p ress i on i t w ill soon run a b out t h e house like a cat. To the Right Hon. Earl Spencer a medal was recom mended for his four years and seven months old Durham ox, bred and fed by his Lordship. A three years and six months old Durham steer, fed by the Hon.

POPULATION.—In the United States the rate of increase is such as to double the population in 22 years. In Russia, the period of doubling is 42 ; in England, 52 ; in Sweden, 100 ; and in France, 125 years. It is feared that the late gale has done a good deal of injury to Westminster Abbey. A large fragment of ornamental stone-work, which surmounted a niche in the western tower, fell with an alarming crash on Wednesday morning. Since then one of the pinnacles which stand on the summit of the same tower is said to have inclined from the perpendicular ; if this should fall upon the roof, the consequences to the fabric without, but still more to the venerable work and respected mo n umen ts within, will be most deplorable. Several pieces of cement and other minute fragments are seen occasionally to descend as the wind, with renewed violence, rushes round the old but tresses and the unrepaired wall. The' gale is yet far from subsided, and while it blows with m oderate force i n ot h er parts of the metropolis, it sweeps i here the ar ea f orme d by the Abbey, the Hospital, and Princes-street, with the circuitous force of a whirlwind. BOTTLES, &C., SUNK IN THE SEA.---Captain Smyth found on two trials that . the cyli n d r i ca l a i r-tu b e, under the vane attached to Massey s Patent Log, collapsed and was crushed quite flat under a pressure of about 200 fathoms. A claret-bottle, filled with air, and well c orked, was burst before it descended 400 fathoms. He also found that a bottle filled with fresh water, and corked, had the cork forced at about 180 fathoms below the surface ; in such cases the fluid sent down is replaced with salt-water , and the cork which had been forced in is sometimes inverted. Captain Beaufort also informs me, that he bas frequently sunk corked bottles in the sea , more th an 100 fathoms deep, som e of them e mp t y, an d ot h ers co n ta i n i n g a fluid, th e e mpty bottles were sometimes crushed, at other times the cork was forced in, and the bottle re t ur ned full of sea - water. The cork of th e b ott l es conta i n i ng a fluid was uniformly forced in, and the fluid exchanged for sea -water ; the cork was always returned to the neck of the bottle, sometimes, but not always in an inverted position.—Buckland's Bridge water Treatise.

The Court then adjourned until Monday next. The Sessions just terminated have been the heaviest and the longest since the establishment of the Central Criminal Court. • CORONERS' INQUESTS. DESPERATE SUICIDE.—Last night an inquest was held at the Kean's Head Tavern, Russell -court, Drury-lane, be fore Mr. Higgs and a respectoble jury, on view of the body of Mr. Joseph Jeffereys, aged 57, for many years one of the box-office keepers of Drury-lane Theatre, who commit ted self-destruction by cutting his throat with a carvincr knife. The witnesses spoke to the deceased's low depressed state for months past, attributable to constitutional causes, after which the Jury returned a verdict—" That he de stroyed himself while in a state of temporary mental de rangement." MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A LADY FROM DISAPPOINTED AFFECTlON.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest held at the Buffalo's Head Tavern, New-road, Marylebone, before Mr. Stirling and a most respectable Jury, on view of the body of Mrs. Mary Stagg, a maiden lady, aged 43, who com mitted suicide by swallowing oxalic acid and laudanum. Mrs. Elizabeth Bather, a widow lady, residing at No. 7, Charlton-street, Fitzroy-square, said that the deceased had been promised marriage by a Mr. Stringer, who had since been united to a young woman. She appeared to be deeply concerned at her affections having been played with. Mr. Edward Burnard, surgeon of the infirmary, stated that the deceased died on Saturday evening about six o'clock from the effects of the poison. Before her death the deceased acknowledged having swallowed two ounces of oxalic acid and sixpenny worth of laudanum. Some of the friends of Mr. Stringer stated that the de ceased had laboured under a delusion in supposing that an offer of marriage had been made by Mr. Stringer, nothing of the kind having occurred. Verdict —" That the deceased poisoned herself whilst in a state of temporary derangement." The deceased was respectably connected. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. VESSELS ENTERED INWARDS AT THE CUS.
