ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED i n ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. the nations of the east, or sail forth with Columbus to discover new worlds in the west. They may pee into all the unlocked treasures of universal anti quity, or they may. with all the zeal and enthusiasm of patriots, trace the history of their own country, from the time when the Roman Caesar landed upon her shores, until, passed through the fiery trials which she had to endure from Pict and Scot, Saxon, Dane, and Norman, the conquerors and th e con quered, all b ecame fused into one mighty mass, and the fierce struggle began which has gradually changed and developed the constitution from the aspect which it wore in feudal times, into that form of rational liberty which it now bears—(Hear, hear, and applause)—and which, much as we may cavil at and criticise it in the excitement of political warfare, makes our country the dear, delightful Old England, which we still rejoice to call her in our lighter moods and hours of relaxation—(Cheers)—or Young Eng land, if you would better like to have it so, aye, as young in energy, as young in strength, as young in capability, vitality, and prowess, as when her Ed wards and her Henrys led forth her chivalry to con quest, or when Elizabeth grasped her sceptre in her hand, the type of our own Victoria, as well in the truly English complexion of her character as in the hold which she possessed over the hearts and affec tions of her people.—(Loud cheers.) And it is ac cording to the fitness of things, according to the precedent of times gone by, that literature and the arts and the sciences, and institutes fur their protec tion and encouragement, should flourish in this great seat of commerce. There has ever been a close al liance between the fine arts and the merchant princes of the world.—(Cheers.) We read in that book which is the highest of all authorities, that Solomon, when building his splendid and glorious temple, sent for the most skilful and cunning of his workmen from Tyre, the queen of waters.—(Cheers.) At a later period, it is to the commercial cities of Greece that we turn to witness the arts in their glory, and to behold the most refined and po lished people of their day. As we come down the stream of time, and reach the middle ages, we find the great protectors of literature, and the most de voted champions of intellectual improvement among the leading men of the flourishing mercantile com munities of Italy. And as it was then, so it is now in our own country, and from what I have seen of the inhabitants of Hull, their literary tastes, their colleges, their institutions for encouraging the arts and developing the mind, quite certain am I that commerce still preserves its charter, and is as much the guardian of science, the patron of mental cultiva tion, and the advocate of refinement and education in the nineteenth century, as at any former period in the history of the world.—(Loud cheers.) And now, before I sit down, I must say a word or two to those who are enjoying the intellectual advantages which this Institution, so happily for them, places within their reach. Next to religion, and subject to religion, mental cultivation is the best gift which man can possess. But to make it so, we must appreciate all its value. You come here to be educated and to edu cate yourselves. But what is education? It is not merely to hear so many lectures and to read so many books, and then to go away and forget all that you have been listening to and reading. This is tempo rary excitement, and not education.—(Hear, hear.) Education is to be judged of as it makes you wiser or better and more useful men in your age and gene ration—(Hear, hear)—and to produce this end, lec tures and books a re means , b ut, remember, only means. There is a wide difference between means and ends. The guide -post by the wayside is a means. It points to the road you are to take, but you are to perform the journey. A ship is a means of trans port; the end to be accomplished, a successful voyage to whatever region of the earth your business may call you. But if, when you are embarked, you never weigh the anchor, never set sail, but still abide at your original moorings, what signifies it that the breeze is fair and the weather favourable ; you are on ship-board to be sure, but still, although you should remain there to all eternity, you be no nearer your destination than you were at first—an anchored vessel makes no way.—(Cheers.) Recollect, also, in the pursuit and acquisition of knowledge, to classify and arratig e the various branches of information which you accumulate, so as, if I may borrow a somewhat trite and worn-out phrase, to have each and every one th.tketed and ready for use at a moment's notice, whenever you may want it. A chaos of learning is much more wonderful than it is :advantageous to its possesnor. The man with every sense, but common sense, is as helpless as a child when exposed to the rub and bustle of the world. It is the philosopher over again, who, when the vessel in which he was embarked was about to founder, having read much in books of anchors of hope and anchors of safety, but knowing nothing practically of their use, lashed himself to the best bower, and then smiled in lofty pity at the igno rance of the poor creatures who were going to trust themselves to rafts and planks.. —(Laughter and cheers.) Bear in mind, too, that the human intellect, like the whole body, is all the better for healthy exercise. It is not like the miser's treasure which perishes in the using. It is not oven like the fabled tree of heathen mythology, from which, when its once golden bough was plucked, another ever shot forth to supply its place. It is a treasure which increases„ and only can be increased, by constant use.—(Applause.) In this point of view the intellect of man is a complete para dox. It is disuse which wastes, consumes, and im pairs it, while use adds to it, enlarges, and to all its original capital brings interest and p compound interest, at a r ate of per tentage which no usury ever dreamed of in the world.—(Cheers.) One other hint, and I have done. " Drink deep or t aste not" at the intellectual fountain. You can never be too wise or too good. It was,. as you have beers told once before this eveninq, a saying of the great Sir Isaac Newton, " that he appeared to him self only as a child picking up pebl33es from the shore, while the great ocean of truth lay unexplored before him." The most aspiring genius can hardly hope to be a Newton in the lofty flight of his exalted mind and surpassing talents, but his humility is within the reach of all, and a more becoming inantle cannot rest upon the shoulders of the most gifted scholar.— (Cheers.) And you, the friends and patrons, and advo cates of this Institution, cease not from the - support whip h you have hitherto given to it, but rather increase your fostering care in its behalf. It is a fit ting ordinance of Providence that the interests of all classes of the community are clost!ly bound up to getl ier.—(Hear.) No one member of the body po litic can suffer long without all the other members suffering with it.—(Hear.)

This delightful town residence was fitted up by the late re. j spucted possessor, regardless of expense, with a fixed determination to secure every comfort a family of distinction can desire. That he succeeded " a merveille" will be perceptible at the first glance, since ingenuity would be puzzled to find a real want neglected.

(Abridged from the Hull Advertiser.) A grand literary soirée took place at the Hull Mechanics' Institute on Wednesday evening week, and was by far the finest meeting—unconnected with politics—which has taken place in this town for many years. The arrangements made for the reception of the vast concourse of visitors, by the Committee of the Mechanics Institute, were judicious and complete. A few minutes before seven o'clock the platform was filled, with the exception of the seats reserved for the speakers, who shortly afterwards entered the Hall. Dr. Alderson, the President of the Institution, took the chair, and was supported on his right by Joseph Jones, Esq., the May or o f H u ll • the Record er o f H u l l ; the Rev. James Baines, M. T. Aspinall, Esq., M.A., Rector of Althorpe, Lincolnshire ; Sir William Low thr o:eJ B arne a s tt I.l,enmw.opo.: S r i , r Esq., V M.D., President of l, Esq., and Thomas Thomp son,orneNalter, Charles James, Esq. ; on t h e left of the Chairman were Sir John Hanmer, the M.P., R. F. H ull Lit erary and Philosophical S oc i ety , an d Major M'Cl ever t y , o f the 48th Regiment. Bart., The CHAIRMAN, on rising, was received with loud applause. After some preliminary observations, and reading letters apologisin g for their absence from Professor Phillips, the Right Hon. Tennyson D'Eyn court, and other gentlemen, he concluded by calling upon Sir John Hanmer to address the meeting. Sir JOHN HANMER, M.P., then came forward, and was received with loud cheers. He congratulated them on the progress which the Institution had made since its foundation in 1826, and spoke in glowing terms of the advantages which had been conferred upon the working men of England by this and other similar Institutions. The Hon. Baronet was followed by Sir W. James, M. T. Baines, Esq., the Recorder of Hull, and Dr. Horner, the President of the Hull Literary and Phi losophical Society, who addressed the meeting in elo quent speeches, for which we have not room. The CHAIRMAN then said the company would now be favoured with an address from the Rev. James Aspinall.—(Loud and reiterated cheering.) The Rev. JAMES ASPINALL, Rector of Althorpe, Lincolnshire, on rising, was greeted with repeated bursts of applause. He spoke as follows :—Ladies and Gentlemen,—Next to the pleasure of having de livered the addresses to which we have listened this evening, I rank the privilege of having been allowed to hear them. I labour, however, under one dis advantage from it, namely, that the very field upon which I have to enter has been so thoroughly cleared, even to its gleanings, by the harvesters who have pre ceded me, that I can only hope to press the same topics upon you, and to array in a new garb of words the 'ame ideas which have already been set before you so eloquently and so well.—(Hear.) It would be more than Utopian to anticipate that we are approach ing a period when human nature shall be altogether purged of its more bitter feelings and evil passions; but I do think that we are entering upon the dawn of a new and better era in the world's history, and that more humanising impulses and influences of Chris tianity are beginning to tell upon the hearts of men with unusual strength, softening, if not removing, the bigotry of selfishness, throwing down the exclusive ness of caste, and thawing the long frozen up charities of our nature into a wide deep stream of philanthropy and kindness.—(Applause.) We cannot take up any of the journals of the day without reading that the high and influential, the great and the rich, of the land, feeling that they have duties as well as rights, are holding meetings in all directions to devise schemes and plans for the welfare and happiness of their less elevated fellow-subjects, some studying how to pro mote their intellectual cultivation, others anxious to provide for their bodily comforts and cleanliness, to improve their habitations, and to obtain from them public walks and parks for healthful exercise and joyous recreation and amusement. We see a further symptom of this amended spirit of the age in the fact, the great, and I would call it the extraordinary fact, the almost phenomenon, which we have lately wit nessed in many of our chief marts of commerce, where those honours, and rewards, and congratu lations,'which heretofore have been reserved for heroes and conquerors, have in his triumphant progress from place to place, been showered by acclamation upon the great Wellington of peace, who, with his Chinese treaty, for his Waterloo, in his hand, has been enthu siastically welcomed by a grateful country, and pro nounced worthy of all the laurels of victory without any of its blood.—(Loud cheers.) We have, too, I think, another proof of the same improved temper of the times in this very meeting, at which we see men of all parties and opinions assembled, as within the temple of Janus, with its gates closed, and the olive branch of peace uniting us together, as with one heart, be n t upon one ehject.—(Applause.) The prince of antiquity sighed for a new luxury, and we have it here in the shape of the lull, the calm, the respite which we are enjoying between the past and the coming gusts of party warfare.—(Cheers.) But now to come to the more immediate object for which this institution was founded, and to promote which we are all here. It is no selfish, no paltry cause which has brought us together.—(Hear.) It is to help the development of the human mind, and to satisfy the yearnings of the people after instruct -7 ,0n and im provement. It is to give somewhat of the poetry of life to those who are compelled to enesure so much of the prose.—(Cheers.) There was inaeed a time when it was stoutly urged "that the ignorance of the masses was the safeguard of the nation." No worse delusion ever found advocates to defend it.—(Hear. hear.) Ido not think that tae popular mind of this great kingdom can be too eolightened.—(sipplause.) A little knowledge may, I grant, be a dangerous thing ; but, as it has been well observed, it is dangerous in exact proportion to its littleness.—(Hear.) The remedy is easy, and at hand. Enlarge it, and you not only end the peril, but neutralise the maxim. In society a reasoning man is always more reasonable than an ignorant one. And it is the same with men in the aggregate as it is with man the individual. Ignorance in the people is ever the parent of blind discontent, making them the dupes of every impostor, and the victims of every exaggerated false and idle rumour.—((heers.) But we are battling with a shadow when we enter this arena of discussion. While the advocates pro and con were busily employed in arguing the question—education or no education? —it wa s suddenly taken out of their hands, and settled at once for them. The clock had struck, and its finger pointed to the last hour of 'the intellectual night.— (Applause.) While they wore debating, the school master was already abroad., avid his work was begun. (Hear.) All antiquated prejudices on the subject were peremptorily put down. with the old coaches and railroads t2ig e-;soarogfgt intellectroai i ‘ s .e — l li ( n L g a .w_ u n g s( h ce t esh4—, travelling.—(Cheeps established it s wasNve laughter.)l seen e a e s n a thatrail road Thea spirit of man had broken Lees.% after the thraldom of ages, and who could again drag it back to captivity ? —(llean) The human mind walked forth, free and erect, from the dtsugeon of ignorance and darkness, and it was found to be a Gulliver that no Lilliputian host could pin or fetter to the earth. The intellectual Nile was full to overflowing„ and read to burst its Wasit t o banks. Was it to be tiood or fe r tili ty ? be a wide wasting deluge, !sweeping before it to destruction, or was it to be controlled, directed, led to fatten and enrich the soil, and repay with a bounteous harvest those, : who had undertake n its cultivation ? This new question was not long left unanswered. England is pre-eminently a practical country, and thousands of schools startedl,, as if by magic, from the ground, for the education of the younger portion. of the population, while mechanics' institutes sprung up in all direcVaous for those who were a little more advanced in years, and who required a higher degree of tr a ining and mental cultivati on . —(Ch eers. ) In. one of these monuments to the Spirit o f th e age are we now assembled; - in, one of th ese—to use the happy phrase of one of your local journals—" the Oxford and Cambridge of the industrious artisan, the studious clerk, and the diligent, sober shopmen," who, when; the hours of toil are aver, feel within them mazes ennobling as.pirations than to fritter away their leisure time in idle or evil company ; but prefer rather to cultivate tho intellect which God has given them, and to prove themselves worthy of the l o f ty endow ment, by using it profitably and becomi ng l y . A n d here, by the lectures which are delivered to them, and by the stores of learning which are un f o ld e d and placed within their reach, are their minds expanded. and their tastes. elevated and improved.—(Much applause.) Here sire they not only stimulated and encouraged to intellectual activity, but the proper path in which to direct it is set before them.—(Hear, hear) Here, in the study of the page of history, men of the present are brought in contact, as it were, with men of the past, and the mighty dead seem to come forth from their tombs to improve a n d i ns t ruc t the living. Here, according to their severa l tastes and tempers, they may hold conver se w i t h t h e philo sophers of Greece or the heroes of Rome. They may watch the progress of civilisation, the spread of science, or the advancement of literature.—(Ap plause.)

DUBLIN, JAN. 16.—The Dublin Evening Post con tains the following letter : "TO HIS GRACE THE MOST REV. DR. CROLLY, LORD ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGH. " llarrynane Abbey, Octave of the Epiphany, 1845. "Revered Lord—Allow me, most respectfully to offer my humble, but most hearty, thanks to your Grace, for the very kind and flattering manner in which, after re buking the mistake I had fallen into, you have condes cended to speak of me in your letter, published in the Dublin Evening Post of Saturday last. " I avail myself of the same medium to retract at at once, and unequivocally, any assertion of mine that may apply or seem to apply, to the document published by your Grace, as being uncanonical. " I freely avow that the document given by your Grace to the public is perfectly canonical ; and even it' my private opinion had been otherwise, I would at once yield it t.) the authority with which that document is now clothed. I, however, never did intend to express the idea that such a document as that really in question could be uncanonical. " If you permit me to refer to my letter, you will find that I acted from misinformation ; which made me con ceive that the document treated of matters of a tem poral nature ; or matters relating to the political rights and liberties of the Irish people.' Such a document would plainly be uncanonical, and directly repugnant to our oaths abjuring all power and authority in the See of Rome in matters purely temporal. " Before the appearance of your Grace's letter, there was, naturally, great excitement in the public mind. The distinct avowal in the Morning Chronicle that the Whigs, when in office, had a politico-religious agent in Rome —the shout of triumph which emanated from the Tory press, on the completion of the Commission under the Bequests Act, containing a similar avowal of an agent from the present Government in Rome—these, combined with many sinister reports—confirmed, as they appeared to be, by a letter published in the Globe, and extracted from that paper in the Evening Post of Thursday, the 9th of January—filled the public mind with just alarm. The Globe letter affected to quiet our fears. It admitted however that a Mr. Aubin resided at Rome, though according to the Globe letter, he had nothing to do there. What is sufficiently curious is, that the Globe proceeds to state that Aubin had been preceded by Mr. Seymour, the actual ambassador at Florence. Aubin supplied the place of Seymour, and the Globe tells us that, on the death of Aubin, Petre was appointed to the situation. This is called an anoma ICeis position ;' but Petre, besides being in an anomalous position at Rome, is still attache to the English Ministry at Florence. It is stated that his salary is very trivial, not exceeding that of his paid attache. lie has, then, a salary, and is at Rome—doing what ? It is not said—and it would be laughed at if it wore said—that the affairs of the English Catholics require any such agency at Rome. It is plain his agency can relate only to Ireland. " Now, these, your Grace perceives, are all admissions of an underhand agency by the Court of England at Rome. " At such a period, and with these facts staring us in the face, it is natural that much alarm should exist; and I, with profound deference, and without any species of flattery, respectfully state that your Grace has shown great wisdom in producing to the public the actual, and, as I understand, tine only document received from Rome, and in taking the trouble of repeating the pledge which the Irish prelacy have given, to use every influence in their power to prevent any such insidious scheme as the Concordat, which (I use your Grace's words) would be destructive of the purity and independence of our holy religion. "I have only to add that, of course, I concur, with true humility and in perfect sincerity, in the wisdom of the resolution proposed by the Lord Bishop of Elphin, and seconded by the Lord Bishop of Clogher. Indeed, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to procure me to differ with these more estimable prelates—the first of them, my beloved: friend of many years standing, the sweet dove of his church ;' the second, esteemed not only by me, but revemred by every one who knows him for his splendid talents, his profound erudition, and his ardent attachment to the poor of the Lord. Besides being most distinguished members of the episcopal order, they are both most ;sincerely devoted Irisiimci., full of zeal for the restoration of that political state of things in Ireland which would make the confinement of the poor houses unnecessary --leave the prison door unclosed and open—feed the hu a,gry—clothe the naked—and admi nister every comfort; to those afflicted with destitution or disease. " Such motives as: these, worked oat in the spirit of universal charity, and meek and unpretending firmness, are dear to the Holy See, consolatory to the heart of his Holiness, and ren ier the Catholic religion, which we profess, not only ilituatrious, but perfectly sanctified. " Again offering: my meet humble but fervent grati tude to your Grace., for your personal kindness to me, of which I shall ever be proud—also for the dignified and truly Catholic declaration you have voluntarily made on the subject of the Concordat, and for the publication of the real, and, therefore, truly canonical document from Rome.' " I have the honour to be, with the most sincere vene ration and profound resp. ct, my Lord Archbishop, of your Grace the most humble, faithful, and devoted ser vant, DANIEL O'CONNELL. " P.S. I think I am bound to inform your Grace, that if there were a properly chosen judge, a properly se lected jury, I much fear, that such is the state of the law, that an indictment would lie against your Grace for your most useful and most candid publication." Referring to this letter, the Erening Post says : " We publish it with great pleasure, inasmuch as its ten dency is to remove such misunderstanding between par ties so eminent as may have arisen out of recent trans actions. On all hands, therefore, the rescript is acknow ledged—as we anticipated it would be—as canonical." COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) CRIMINAL INFORMATIONS.—Tnom.ts T. CHAMBER LAINE V. THE PROPRIETORS OF THE " FREEMAN'S JOUR NAL."—Mr. Tomb moved, on behalf of the plaintiff; for a conditional order for a criminal information against the proprietors of the Dublin Weekly Freeman's Journal, for the publication of a libel in that paper of the 16th No vember last. The alleged libel was contained in a letter of the Rev. N. M'Evoy, P.P. of Kells, and in the edi tor's comments thereon ; and also in the editor's com ments upon a charge of Mr. Sergeant Howley, the as sistant-barrister for the county Tipperary.—The Court (after some hesitation) granted the conditional order. SAME V. THE PROPRIETOR OF THE PILOT NEWSPAPER. —Mr. Tomb moved for and obtained a similar order against the Pilot newspaper. I TEMPERANCE—CHARGE OF DISLOYALTY. In consequence of a statement which appeared in the Limerick Chronicle, attributing disloyalty to teetotallers, Father Mathew has addressed a letter to that journal, dated Cork, Jan. 13. The Rev. Gentleman says : " The conclusion of the article afflicted ma deeply— the charge against the Tipperary band, of profaning, by music, the Lord's day, I can bear with equanimity. I claim the enjoyment of Gospel liberty. The celebra tion of Divine worship was not in any way inter rupted, and I do not hold that, in itself, a tune from a temperance band on that sacred day is sinful. The fall of a drunkard, for which these sweet sounds are substituted, would, on any day, wound the sanctity of a jealous God. But the charge of having on a little flag a harp, with crown reversed, and turned down, I read with horror. It was a cruel charge, and from the Limerick Chronicle, too, my earliest and unswerving advocate in the hour of my distress and humiliation. The little flag borne before the Tipperary band, did not belong to the Temperance Society of that town. It was intended for the bsnd alone, and had on it in largo letters the word Tipperary,' and under it the symbols of music, poetry, and harnimy, instead of the word band.' In all the music shops these symbols are attached to the different pieces for sale, and in the newspapers they aae generally over what is termed the ' Poets' Corner.' I inclose one cut this moment out of a provincial journal. There is no portion of our beloved Queen's subjects more attached to the throne and royal person, than the teetotallers of Ireland and their presi dent. They would shed their heart's blood in defence of both. May her reign be long and glorious, and may un allayed domestic felicity bless all her days.—l am, with high respect, dear Air. Editor, yours, most sincerely, " THEOBALD MATHEW. THE CHARITABLE BEQUESTS ACT. DUNDALK.—A most numerous and respectable meet ing of the inhabitants last. of Dundalk tr witnessed ookplac ein m t o h r e Old Chapel, on Sunday en thusiasm in any popular assemblage. A few minutes after two o'clock, the Very Rev. Dr. Coyne, accompanied by his curates, entered the chapel, and was shortly after followed by a great number of the leading requisitionists. With scarce an exception, every respectable Roman Ca tholic in the parish was at his post, to protest against this atrocious law. The chair was taken by the Very Reverend Dr. Coyne, V.G., who addressed the meeting at some length. He said—This Bequests Act is a most woful measure— I may say it is the bane of Ir eland.—(Cheers.) I have i r n e d et e d ed O'C gi o v n en ne t l' h l e s B le i t i t l e t r h , e an c d I oupmdacygrearaye.f_ai grace.—(Loud e t h h e e er h s a3 There is no necessity, with that most important docu ment before our minds, to delay the meeting with any lengthened resolutions —one universal condemnation of the Act is what we will express—(Great cheering)—a tendency as condemnation o f a measure as pernicious in its as any that ever afflicted an oppressed country. —(Prolonged applause). Several resolutions were passed, amongst which was the following : " That whilst, as Catholics, we are determined to re spect with scrupulous fidelity of submissien the legiti mate authority of the Holy See in all spiritual matters, we are equally resolved, as loyal subjects and Irishmen, to repudiate and resist any and every attempt of the Pope, or any foreign potentate whatever, to intermeddle ~s~ ~~~~~ 'V Cf -_~~ concerns of this kingdom. —.Newry KILLEONY.—A very numerous meeting of the Ca tholic inhabitants of the union of Killeguy, county Wex ford, was held at Poultpeasty, on last Sunday, the 12th instant, for the purpose (1 expressing their unqualified disapprobation of the odious Charitable Bequests I±lll. The Rev. Thomas Furlong was unanimously voted to the chair. A petition and resolutions were adopted in accordance with the object of the meeting.— Wexford Independent. ,-- - ~ ~- ' - --: ,-/ G Examiner. OUTRAGES IN THE COUNTY OF LutIERICE.—A strong party of armed men, twelve in number, some with their faces blackened, visited the house of Patrick Kennedy, between Camas and Bruff, in broad day, on Monday, when they inquired of the inmates if there were any landlords in that quarter raising the price of land, ClBttie, or potatoes ? If so, they said, " They were the arbi trators, and had come to decide on such matters." The rustic commissioners then took leave. A party of five armed men entered the dwelling of Thomas Duggan, near Abington, between seven and eight o'clock on Mon day morning, and forcibly carried away his gun, which was registered. Soon after as Constable Rowan, of the Capawhite-station, was on his way to this city to attend Quarter Sessions, he observed five men running through the fields, and subsequently met Duggan on the road, who acquainted him of the outrage. The police con stable hurried on to 13 arrington's-bridge-station, and having apprised the party of what he had seen, they went at onee in pursuit of the gang, whom they chased into the mountains of Gleastall, and after a harassing run, fortunately succeeded in apprehending two of them, While in the act of crossing a high ditch.—Limerick Chronicle.

On Thursday an i,,fluential meeting of merchants, im porters, and whoiesAe dealers in tea, and of persons connected with the China trade, WAS held at the Jeru salem Coffee-house. John Abel Smith, Esq., M.P., in the chair. Amongst the number present were Mr. Bates, Mr. Dent, Mr. Twining, Moffatt, M r . G reg . SOD, Mr. King, Mr. Dallas, Air. Peek, Mr. Norton, Mr. Small, Mr. Lewes, and others. The meeting was well attended, and much valuable information was communicated relative to the trade with China. It was unanimously agreed to address the Government, and bring under its notice the exorbitant duty now levied on tea, and to express the opinion of the meeting that such a reduction should be made as would not only benofit the consurn, r of tea in this country, bat also be the means of extending our trade with Chins. JOSHUA BATES, Esq., then moved a resolution, ad verting to the present exorbitant and injurious duty on tea, and recommending a considerable reduction therein ; which was seconded by THOMAS DE , T, Esq. Mr. NORTON moved, and Mr. JOSHUA. BATES se conded, " That the thanks of the meeting be given to. John Abel Smith, Esq., for the courteous and effective manner in whieh he has presided over the meeting." The resolution was carried with acclamation, and the meeting adjourned. COURT OF SEWERS. A Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of Westminster, and part of Middlesex, was held yes terday in the office, 6, Greek-street, Soho-square, for the purpose of appointing a Chairman for the cur rent year, and of transacting other business. Thomas Leverton Donaldson, Esq., occupied the chair. It will be remembered, that at a late sitting of the Court, Edward Willoughby, Esq., was nominated (be being, in fact, the only candidate) for the office, but as, according to the 17th bye-law, the appointment cannot take place on the day of nomination, the Com mission proceeded this day to the election. The nutine business of the Court having been dis posed of, - The CHAIRMAN, in calling the attention of the Com missioners to the matter mentioned in the paper, said that he had great pleasure in stating that now, after ten years' service, his duties as Chairman were at an end. Mr. BROUGHTON said that very little more was required to be done ere they could receive that an nouncement. He (Mr. Broughton) had so very lately said everything necessary with regard to the qualification of Mr. Willoughby, that he should now only move that he be constituted chairman. Captain BAGUE, R.N., had great pleasure in se conding the motion. The CHAIRMAN put it, and it was carried unani mously.' Mr. Willoughby was then introduced Into Court by the mover and seconder. Mr. DONALDSON congratulated him on the unani mity exhibited on his election, and augured well therefrom for the efficiency with which the business of the Commission would be attended to throughout the current year. Mr. WILLOUGHBY then took the chair, 'and ad dressed the Court very briefly. The office to which they had just elected him was one of considerable diTh culty, and he would therefore require, in the ex ercise of its duties, all their indulgence and kind en couragement. He felt, however, assured, that from the handsome manner in which they had conferred that high honour upon him, without any personal so licitation, they would also overlook many of his de ficiencies. The duties of a chairman were of them selves sufficiently unsatisfactory, and they were ren dered even more arduous if he were not properly supported by individual members in his efforts to conduct the ailairs of the Court with due order and regularity. lie hoped that the usefulness of the Commission would be fully maintained while he held the office to which they had so kindly called him. Mr. BROUGIITON thought it an imperative duty to introduce to the consideration of the Board a few re solutions which he had drawn up, showing the high opinion the Court entertained of the conduct of the gentleman who had just quitted the chair, for, he might say, co:nparativ e r e ti remen t. Th ey elt and acknowledged the value of his services during the last ten years, and he considered, therefore, that they ought, in perfect justice, to convey to him some ex pression of their feelings on his retirement. Captain BAGUE seconded the adoption of the reso lutions. Sir JACOB HANSLER briefly moved that the pre ceding resolutions should be advertised in the daily papers; that two copies should be engrossed on vellum, one to be presented to the late Chairman, and the other to be framed and glazed, and hung up in the Court-room. THOMAS CUNDT, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was also carried unanimously. Mr. Donaldson wav then introduced into the Court, and the resolutions just passed were read over to him by the Chairman. Mr. DONALDSON, in a neat speech, expressed his gratitude ; and is retiring from the arduous duties of the chair, hoped that he carried the esteem and good will of the members along with him. The - Hon. Commissioner then retired amid enthusiastic cheering. Some other business was gone through, and the Court adjourned till the 7th of February. METROPOLITAN DRAPERS' ASSOCIATION. A public meeting was held by the above Associa tion on Thursday evening, at the George Tavern, George-street, Blackfriars-road, for the purpose of extending the operations of the Society in that district, and organising a local Committee; and also in pursuance of a plan which has been adopted by the Association for visiting the different districts of the metropolis, with a view to infuse fresh vigour into them. The meeting was numerously and re spectably attended, and the greatest zeal and unani mity appeared to animate all present. Mr. Wright, a leading member of the Central Committee, was called to the chair, and Mr. St. Clair, in a manly and sensible address, proceeded to move the following resolutions, which were seconded by Mr. Fiveaah, and uanimously adopted : " 1. That the system of late hours of business is injurious to health, and prevents the moral and in tellectual improvement of those labouring under it." "2. That it is the duty of every individual, but especially assistant tradesmen, to use every means in their power to obtain an abridgment of the same." "3. That the cause of the system being the very prevalent custom of late shopping, the most energetic efforts should be directed towards the speedy abroga edi Nrieecttrlyoptolitoan the public i Drapers' abroga tion of that custom." ‘ ‘ 'that s s t o h c e i a t p i loaon, viz.,a o adopted appealing by the p4rsi: A order to ar ouse t h em to the nature of the r and nh v i da l n , i esp, support td l 1 ft e i a el ;e lr u eNf l v.o a i ted it,,e,doe t os o b igrlel r t tnhtgoe have eoumtt the eau confidence hm beneficialaccomplishment of so laudable an object." The sth resoiution, " That a Committee be now elected, to be called the Committee of the Blackfriars road District, in connexion with the Metropolitan Drapers' Association, with power to add to their number," was moved by Mr. Caldwell, and seconded by Mr. Nix. Several excellent speeches were also delivered by Messrs. Silwall and others. The following gentlemen, viz., Messrs. Way, Davis, Deallin, Coates, Reed, and Wells, were then elected, in accordance with the last resolution, and the meet ing separated.
