BENEVOLENT SOUIE rY of ST. PATRICK. On S:turday the 49th anniversary of the Benzr:olent S , eiety Sr. Patrick was celebrated at Freemasons'-hall, his Grace the Duke of NORTHIJMIEMLAND in the chair. On his right were the Marquis of Lundonderry, Lord Teynham, Sir J. Doyle, Sir Henry Hardinge, Ise. ; rn his left the Earl of Mayo, and many persons of -tleibetion connected with Ireland, amongst whom wsrt , . 'the Marquis of Ahercorn, the llarquii of Doom I. , :rd L. F. Gower, Sir William Brabazoor Bact,, Mr. Shell, M.P., Sir J M. Doyle, &e. &c. This festive celebration was much less numerously a:_ tended than on former occasions : there were not pr: sent even twmthirds of those who were o::tected. • 4 The Health of the King" was of course the first toast; I ut it was not introduced by any observationt ett the part of the Noble Chairman. It was immediately followed by The Health of the Queen," a toast that called fottla much more applause than the health of his Majesty. The CHAIM:MAN, in ailnoOneinZ the next tnesc, inrormed the company that her Royal Hightte the Duchess of Kent had forwarded a donation ist . 501. to the Treasur r of the Society. He then gave " The Duchess of Kent. and the rest of the Royal Family."—Drunk with meth applanw. "The Navy and Army," and other and patriotic toasts, followed, without any tett - lark from the Chairman beyond the mere annountettti-nt. Sir JOHN DOYLE returned thanks on the part of the army. The toast to which the company had done el rutieh honour could not fail to touch sensibly the heart of every IfriAnin—a nation, which without vanity he might say, had Len prodigal of their Istnui Whent-ver the general -rause of the whole empire required that it should be shed. It would be needless for him to say more than to repeat, on behalf of his brethren in arms an i himself, their ettpres sion of their mast heartfelt thanks f.r an hettotr which, r:Te.z t as it was, they did persuade theettelves was not alto .gether undeserved.—(Great applause.) The Gallant Officer then sat dawn, beta hnmediately rose, saying, that he had been guilty a great omission—he bad not pro posed the health of the renowned General by whotn . those lrmies had been led so often to victory, and in no single instance to defeat. He confessed that he had been guilty of a great omission, and lest he should fall into any of those beauties of Irish rhetoric which ignorant Englishmen called bulls—(A laugh)—he should instantly conclude with pro posing " The health of the Duke of 'Wallington." Drunk with much applause. The Alarquis of Doe no returned thanks. The next toast was" The health cf the Lard Lieutenant set Tr'eland."—(Applause pretty general, and in some quar ters very enthusiastic.) There was no one to return thanks, :and it was observed that no gentleman present r.-as connec ted with the Government, and but very few rya' of their supporters in either House of 11:triiament. The children belonging to both schools then walked in li:weal...ion through the hall, and if the success and value of the association is to he measured by the numbers and interesting appearance of the children, it might be said that none could be more flourishing or better deserving of public support. The CHAIRMAN then T.:commended the charity to the 'ompany, and appealed to the op,n-handed benevolence of Irishmen, urging them to contribute liberally to the col lection then going forward. Tbe health% of the Duke of Leitliter, tIT Marquis of Downshire, the Marquis Wellesley, anal other noblemen Arid gen:len:en, contributors to that clinity, wee them given as one toast. Afterwards the memories of the Dukes of York and Kest, Earl DiTtiley, Mr. Canning, theMAr quis of Londonderry, and other deceased contributors to the fnud.—Drank in solemn silence. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY could not• allow the name of his distinguished and ever-to•be-laumented relative to he mentioned without addressing a few words to that company. A'though he felt as dearly as any man could, that he was himself unworthy to be named in connexion with that illustrious man, whose fame would descend to tnture ages—though he telt most deeply that he had dege nerated from that great man in all things but a love for Ireland, he still would presume to say a few words. He knew that Noble Lord well, and with perfect truth he could declare that at all times, and under all circumstances, he held Ireland in his dearest recol:ection. That great roan, now, alas! no more, had, though no other of his , eminent qualities were transmitted, at least left him the strongest sentiments of affection and respect towards that country so highly gifted by Providence,--gifted to an ex rent, perhaps, certainly equal to any country on the face of the globe. He hoped tha time was not distant when that interesting country would receive the great boon of which she stood so much in need—repose, tranquillity, and quiet. He hoped the time would soon arrive when agitation should cease, and Ireland realty be that which it was so often asserted she was-- " Greet, glorious, and free, First flower of the earth, the first gem of the 6caa.'' t Applause.) The Noble Lor:d then proposed the hedlth of 'lair illustrious Chairman.—(Great applause.) It had ever been a rule of that socie , y to exclude politics, and every thing approaching to political feeling ; but he hoped that it would be perectly practicable to do justice to the merits of the distinguished individual under whose preai• dency they had the honour to sit, without in the slightest degree violating the c , tablished maxims u hich bad hitherto governed their festive celebr4tiens. He might, he truste 1, be allowed to staid forward as an Irishman, and say that the ( ffice of Lord Lieutenant was never filled with more uprightness, impartiality, and benevohnce, than dur ing the administration of his Noble Friend who then filled the Chair. The country owed the Noble Lord a deep debt of gratitutle, and the put•lic charities of Ire land would long continue to bear about them striking marks of thebenevolence of him and his amiable consort.— (Applause —a voice from the lower end of the hall, All policy.") The toast was then drunk with the most enthusiasth; applause. • The CHAIRSIAN professed to lay claim for his admini stration in Ireland to little more than honesty of i iten tion, a sincere desire to promote the true interests of Ireland, and to hold the scales of justice with strict itnpar tiality amidst the contending parties, which ti en, as now, unfortunately agitated Ireland. Ile could not presume to say, that throughout the period he spent in Ireland, he might not have erred, but if he committed any error, he hoped he might take credit for its being but an error of judgment. Though he had made tours in Ireland, he con d not profess to say that he had acquired the fullest knowledge of that country which was practicable ; hut it was impossible to attain even the most moderate acquaint ance of the people of that interesting country without falling under the influence of a deep sense of the m:ny ex cellent qualities which distinguished its population. Those qualities had made an impression upon his heart which no time could ever efface. The TREASURER then announced several subscriptions and donations, amongst which were 100/. from the Chair- man. " The health of the Nlarggis of Abercorn" was then drunk, and he was announced as the Chairman for the next anniversary. The Noble ICfarquis having shortly retuned thanks, The Earl of MAYO proposed " The health of the Duchess of Northumberland ;" and his Grace having re turned thanks, he gave " The health of the Stewards," for which Sir HENRY' HARDINGE rose to return thanks. He trusted there was no one who heard hint that wroniti for a moment imagine he was advocating the interests of a rival establishment, if he called the attention of s.ime of the company to an institution existing in the sister country for the maintenance and education of the children of soldiers—he alluded to the Hibernian Society, which had its care no fewer than 400 children of soldiers. 'There were Members of Parliament present, and amongst them the Hon. and Learned Member for Lauth, whose pri.eminent talents would advance the interests of any cause__to him and to the other Members present he would appeal in support of an institution which provided for the children of those soldiers who could transmit to their offspring no parochial settlement, and who at the same time came from a part of the empire which contributed to our armies nearly half their amount in men, of all others peculiarly fitted by nature for a military life; of whom the tileistrious Duke who commended our armies during so mans glorious conquests would be ready to acknow:edge, that more devotion, more energy, more of every quality which went to make a perfect soi , lier, was to be found in the inimitable soldiers of Ireland than in, perhaps, those of any other country. A vote would speedily be proposed in the House of Commons, relative to the Hibernian School, when the army-estimates came under consideration. lie Lad when in office, endeavoured to practice as much economy as was consistent with the efficiency of the publ'e, service, and he should, therefore , b e now very slow t ► r.connend any thing which in justice, oral cven is pr tit letwe, ought not to be conceded ; but that . was a case in which he thought most men would agree with him, that the honour as well as the most obvious interests of the country were concerned; and he therefore hoped, at the proper tim e , t h e Irish Membe s would come forward and give the proposi tion their support ; for ,the institution, he was sorry to say, stood in tome jeopafsly. " Mr. Shed and the Irish bar" were next toasted, when the Hon. ani Learner/ Gentleman (who was re• ceived with loud cb ears) said that it of necessity devolved on him to return tha iks for the Irish bar—there was no other Irish banister present. He lamented that there Iwere so many absentees of so many kinds—(Loud cheers).— • it did so happen, by mere accident, that there was riot a single man in office present at the mettint. But allow ance was to be made for tltel'a ; they were, of course, en gaged in deer Mttlslerial deliberations for the good of Ire land; ',hey were not employed in official compotation e _ l'hat was iinpossible—(Loud latighter)—bur, abstracted from all disturbing convivialities, they weitt teVolving in their minds the means of conferrin4 peace up- n Ireland. There were spree incident§ in the Aaspeah:y which sti na4t. lailli ; the te was a spectacle of English he creotente,,---of Irish eratithde,z -, ond (a' range phenomenon) of Irish concord. tragtieh benevolence was the nurse of rrish childhood. —(Cheers.) Misery and depravity would rock ita cradle, but that the spirit cf . gritith mercy ran in, and snatched the Irish infieit fl'om their inauspicious care. Here, to-a, was Faiglin benevolence exhibitad in its best and noblest let*. The N.able Duke had said that he rectal- Vete,' Ireland ; let bian be assured that the remembrance was mutual,—lrela nal did mat fereet him,—(Cheers.) if he recollected the n attpal cordial; y and entibiasiesin which characterised Ireland, Ireland never sbou'd forget that happy cc:l:bin:qt . :ll) of dignity and of affability by which he was dtettirguished, and that charity which had a hand as • Open as its means w -e large, and whose acts of goodne ss were to be maker by an almanac's: of benevolence, and counted by the day of the year.-a-(Cheers.) Associated with the Node Duke was uh*.e, his consort in compassion, his partner in eyeapatby, a noble and generous woman, witurn h',', should refrain from praising, because too rude a panegyric was apt to wear off the ena.inel from a woman's name.—(Loud cheers ) Nor was the Duke of Northum berland alone. Besides him were his asscciat s. There was a gentleman, a clergyman, who proved himself a Christian in the true sense of that term—whom it wax irnpossib'e to know and not to esteem ; and there was another, a soldier of as frank and gallant a spirit as ever drew his sword in the cause of his country, from whom he (Mr-Sheil) differed in politics, but whose manliness of character, unaffected kindness, and integrity of con duct, won for hint the applause of those who were most reluctant to give it ; need be name Sir H. liar dinge?—(Lond chetrine.) He had stated that Irish gratitude attended on British benevolence. He had ob served, when the group of children were passing in their customary procession befor e the Nobl e D u k e , th at a lit t l e bey with a ruddy face and beaming eyes —yes, beaming with thankfulness—in paying his humble and untutored courtesy to the Noble Duke, as he bent and pulle 1 his hair, looked fully upon him, and that there was an ex change of regard between the child and the Noble Chair man ; the Later had smiled with that consciousness of having done a good action, which i. so full of true moral luxury.—(Loud cheers.) Fur his splendid donation, in that encounter of the eyes of this little boy the Notate Chair man was repaid —(Loud cheers.) He had said that a third ineiJent to this meeting was Irish conte.r.l. There were men of all feelings and of all patties. It is possible, then, that we can meet without disseesien. May the time arrive when the tierce passions of Irishmen, running witb a turbulent force, may meet in tranquillity, and after having chafed, and foamed, and spread a temporary devastation. flow into a profound and unruffled confluence.—(Cheers.) This was followed by the health of the Vice-Presidents. Lord F. L. GOWER. returned thanks for himself and the other Vice-Presidents. The gallery w.s filled with ladies, whore health was &rink before the meeting broke up. The vocal departmtnt was sustained with signal success, and the festiv4 of ihe evening maintained to a I.lre hour. The Duke of Northumberiani and the more distin-' guishA guests left the hall Goon after eleven o'clock. CRISIS. ,IDDRESStu the PEOPLE (41ENGLANDfrom the COUNCIL of the NATIONAL POLITICAL UNION. The Council of the National Poiti•al Union invite the attention of their countrymen to the present critical atwe of the Reform Bill. A second time this Bill, which is to 1):: the charter of the people's emancipation, has, in spite of the desperate opposition of an expiring oligarchy, been carried through the House of Commons. its course, nevertheless, has, rvrn in this branch of the Legislature, been iu the highest degree tardy and difficult. No sign has appeared in the discussions which have taken place on this second appear ance of the measure, that there is any mitigation of the hostility formerly felt and expressed towards it. They who were its opponents in the Commons before have proved so also on the list trial ; the party composing the enemies of the people were not in this second instance less numerous, less bitter than before. Taking this party in the House of Commons as a fair resemblance of the same party in the House of Loids, we may safely conclude that the conduct which in the House of Commons has been pursued as respects the measure, is but a forete.ste of that which will take place in tt.e Lords; as in the Commons hostility has not been less, as the num ber of its opponents has not been diminished, so we may rightly csnclude that in the Lords also will that hostility be as fierce as before, and the ranks of our opponents in no degree lessened. But this body was before sufficiently power fu;, head strong, and ill-intentioned, to defy- the people, and set at nought their desires. They then rejected the Bill ; and since the same motives, the same feelings, exist, we are justified in concluding that such is the conduct they will again pursue. - The House of Lords remains unchanged—unchanged as to opinions—unchanged as to numbers. They have no more wisdom, no more patriotism than before, no new creation has infused freshness and purity into the old mass of corruption. To this body thus unaltered, the Ministers of the Crown are about again to present a Bill quite as obnoxious to the enemies of Reorm as the former one again. are they about to subject the people's measure to defeat. It is to this state of affairs that the Council of the Na tional Political Union earnestly solicit the attention of their countrymen. 'the pub!ic energy alone can bring a remedy to the evil—if that be not powerfully, significantly manifested, the cause of peaceful Reform will be lost fur ever. The Council of the National Political Union do, then, in this eventful crisis, anxiously call upon their countrymen, as friends of peace and good Government, again to come forward, and forcibly to express their determination to make the cause of Reform triumphant. They intreat the people distinctly to signify their de sires, to speak in so plain a manner that their wishes can not be misunderstood, and in so forcible a one that they cannot be denied. By Order, ROWLAND DE (ROSIER, Secretary. March 14, 1839. EXECUTION.-WINCHESTER, MARC!! 17. This morning Henry Hunt and Thomas Berrimar, con victed at our lasts Assizes of incendiarism at Barton Stacey, were executed at the back of our gaol, pursuant to their sentence. Hunt, since his condemnation, has paid unre mitting attention to his religious duties. He entertained from the first no hopes of mercy, and expressed his acqui. escence in the justness of his sentence. Berriman had, since his condemnation, maintained extraordinary firm ness, and met his fate with a fortitude deserving a better cause. The prisoners were, from an early hour this morning, engaged with the Rev. Chaplain in their devo tions. About half-past seven o'clock they partook of the holy - saCiamegt,' 'and ar eiehro'cloch, the mournful pre psrations being completed, they were conducted to the scaffold. Berriman, on reaching the platform, addressed the crowd, which was very great, in the following words: —" Now, I hope alt you youeg men will take warning by our untimely downfall. Here we are, cut down in our bloom by drunkenness and sabhath-breaking, which has brought us it.to what we be now ; and I hope you that he come to see us will take the Scriptures for your guide and then you will never come to our untimely end, so God bless ynu II." He then stepped back, and stood with firmness while the final preparations were being completed. Hunt said nothing, but trembled excessively, and seemed to be unconscious of what was passing around him. At the appointed signal the drop fell, and they seemed to die with little Wilily suffering. Their bodies were received by their friends, placed in two coffins brought for the purpose, and taken to their native village for interment.—Hants Advertiser. We observe that the majority of our shop keepers have begun to shut up their shops at eight instead of nine o'clock—anxious to escape as soon as possible from being exposed to the influence of the night air, so dangerous at pre sent ttom its tendency to produce cholera. The propriety of this alteration is so evident, that we are surprised it has not been universally and at once adopted. And though the Cholera should leave us, the shopkeepers will be great foals if ever they revert to their old hours. Their business can be equally well transacted under the present limitation; and it is surely no small advantage to them to gain a full hour to themselves every night, which they may pass in reading or conversation at their own firesides, instead of wearying through it in a cold shop, with little else to do, than count their fingers.—Glasgow Free Press. STATE OF TRADE.— The prevalence of cho lera on the continent last year had a very serious effect upon the fancy muslin trade of this town ; but the introduction of fancy silks, by some respectable houses in Manchester and Pilking ton, has furnished considerable employment to our weavers. Gingham weavers are in great request ; but the counterpane and guilt trade is in a very depressed state,—Manchater Guardian. THEIR MAJESTIES. From the Windsor Express of Saturday.; We regret to state that up to the hour of otir going to press the health of Princess Louise continued in the same alarm ing state; and the answer to all Inquiries throughout the day has been, that she is net expected to survive many hours. Indeed, since the vlbient skittles& which came on so suddenly on Wednesday, and which the medical men then Supposed to be the immediate forerunner ofdissolution, all IfopeS have been abandoned. The Princess was left by her mother, the Duchess of Saxe Weimar, last autumn, in a very detibtful state, in which she had previously been for a long time ; but it was hoped that the Brighton air and the superior medical advice tliich she would receive in this country might effect a bene ficial change, and the Queen entertaining the most sanguine hopes of recovery, undertook the charge of her young niece. Soon after her removal to the sea-side, however, a manifest alteration for the worse was obrerrcd, and since that time the health of the young Princess has been gradually sinking. The precise nature of the complaint has not been ascertained ; but a diseased spine and paralysis appear to have brought on a rapid state of decline. Nothing can surpass the affectionate and assiduous attention of the Queen towards her afflicted young relative. It has, in fact, been Such as only to be equalled by the attentictt of a parent. When the express arrived in London, her Majesty was much agitated, and from the accounts from the Castle, did not expect to find the Prin_ cess alive on her return. The medical men in attendance are Dr. Clarke, and Messrs. Keate, Brodie, and Davis. Since the Queen's return on Thursday morning, her Majesty has not once been out or dined at the family table, or in any way al,_ peared in public, having been constantly in the sick chamber of her dying relation. The terrace has not been opened this afternoon, nor will the public be admitted to-morrow ; neither will the two regiments assemble as usual in the Quadrangle in the morning, owing to the alarming state of Princess Louise. At three o'clock this afternoon, the King drove out in a double-bodied pony phaeton, accompanied by Lady Erskine. Prince George and his tutor (the Rev. Mr. Wood) rode out on horseback at the same time. COURT CIRCULAR. The health of the Duke of Cumberland improves daily. The Duchess of Gloucester was stated to be a great deal better yesterday. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent entertained a party at dinner on Saturday at the King's Palace at Kensington. The Dukeof Gloucester and the Princess Sophia visited the Princess Augusta on Saturday at her residence in the Palace at St. James's. Divine Service was performed yesterday before the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria and their Royal Highnesses' Household by the Dean of Chester. Prince Talleyrand, the French Ambassador. and Mr. Van Buren, the Minister from the United States, had interviews with Viscount Palmerston on Saturday, at the Foreign-office. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office, from Sir C. Colville, the Governor of the Mauritius ; and also from Sir Peregrine Maitland, the Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia. The Lord Chancellor and Mr. Burge, the Agent for Jamaica, had interviews with Viscount Althorp, on Saturday, at the Treasury. The Secretary at War visited Earl Grey on Saturday. Viscount Althorp entertained a party of Members of the House of Commons at dinner on Saturday evening, at his xesi. donee in Downing-street. Among the party were Lord Dudley Stuart, Sir E. Troubridge, Messrs. Blamire, Callaghan, Chap man, Curteis, Heneage, Rooper, Townley, Schonswar, and E. S. Stewart. WINDSOR, MARCH IS--In consequence of the continued serious indisposition of the young Princess Louise, the eastern Terrace was not open to the public yesterday ; and to-day that is not only the case, but the northern Terrace is ordered to be shut by command of the King, nor have any of the Royal party been at St. George • Chapel this morning. The Princess, it is stated, continues as ill as possible ; in fact, as ill as she can be and be alive- The Foot Guards marched to the Horse Barracks this morn ing to attend Divine service. There has been no parade in the Quadrangle of the Palace to-day, owing to the i►lness of the Princess. The Duchess Bernard, of Saxe \Veitnar, the mother of the Princess Louise, who now lies so dangerously ill at Windsor Castle, is expected to arrive in a day or two from the continent. The Princess has expressed an ardent wish to see her mother. The state of the Princess is hopeless : it is thought that she perhaps may live a fortnight or more, but the most probable thing is, that a few days will terminate her sufferings. ALARM OF FIRE AT KENSINGTON PA LICE.—EarIy on Saturday morning, the Baroness de Letzen, governess to the Princess Victoria, was awoke by a strong smell of fire and smoke. She immediately arose and called the ser vants ; and on her apartments being examined, the smoke was found to issue from the fire-place. The hearthstone was taken up, and a large beam discovered nearly burnt through. It is fortunate this was found out so early. Mr. De Tastet, of Alderman's-walk, Bishops gate-street, the Spanish and South American merchant, died a few days ago. glinnediately after his death his executor went to the banker of the deceased, to inquire if there were any se curities or deposits belonging to Mr. Tastet, when one of the clerks brought from the strong room a large box, which the ex ecutor opened, and in which, to his great surprise and astonish ment, were found four hundred thousand pounds in notes of the Bank of England. It appears that some of the Tories of Lyme have taken offence at the independent spirit of the tradesmen, who are nearly all Reformers; and, to be a match for them, or, as some of them say, " to take the tradesmen down a peg," are most days going to the neighbouring towns to buy their sun dry marketings, many of whom are officers on half-pay. In frequent instances they pay a much higher price for their articles, besides the wear and tear of their carriages, with the expense of turnpikes, &e. But it is pleasing to find that the tradesmen are still true to their principles.—Sherburne Journal. --- TRUCK SYSTENI.—On Thursday morning a requisition, numerously and respectably signed, was handed to the Borouglireeve of Bolton, calling upon him to convene a public meeting of the inhabitants, to consider of the best means of carrying into effect the provisions of the late Anti-Truck Bill. The meeting is expected to take place next week.— Manchester Guardian. A person in Oswestry impertinently accosted one of the late Bishops of Asaph, in the churchyard there, as his Lordship was taking a walk after the confirmation, as fol lows :—" My Lord ! does the devil wear a wig like you, or is he bareheaded ?" " Wait a while, my man," said the prelate, " and you'll see !" Mr. James's new work entitled " Lives of Great Commanders," which has obtained such popularity among those who like to read of enterprise and valour, embraces a series of memoirs from Henry V. of England, to General Wolfe, and delineates not only the martial achievements of the great men who form the subjects of the volumes, but depicts them in their private characters and in the quiet sanctity of their homes. He has thus given to his work a greater variety of matter than is to be found in most biographies. THE BISHOPRIC OF CALCUTTA AND THE Rev. DANIEL WILSON.—We have heard from so nnany quarters that the Bishopric of Calcutta has been offered to the Reverend Daniel Wilson, Vicar of Islington, that although for some time incredulous, we can no longer doubt the fact. The proposition, we need scarcely add, was made through the interest and in fluence of the Right Hon. Charles Grant. The Rev. Gentle man has refused the offer, on the score of physical infirmities.-- Town. We understand that a requisition is now in the course of signature among the gentlemen connected with the West Indian Colonies, for the purpose of calling a public meet. ing, to take into their most serious consideration the present alarming and dangerous situation in which that invaluable portion of the British empire is now placed. It is expected that the principal impediment to the navigation of the Clyde will be removed in the ensuing summer by means of the diving-bell, and the powerful deep ening machines now in use. A NEW CHARGE.—The old man who owns a farm opposite to which the George Canning went on shore, sent a bill on board the other day, for beaching of the ship, t2i dollars. Part of the charge was understood to be for the pri vilege of picking up wood on the shore. He intimated that it was as low as he could afford, because so few ships came to his beach—almost all of them going ashore further south.— American Paper. We understand that it is proposed by some highly respectable gentlemen to establish in this city a school for the education of the sons of gentlemen upon the plan of those of Plymouth, Portsmouth, Rochester, and Chatham. where a first-rate instruction in the Greek and Latin classics, mathematics, the modem► languages, drawing, and the general branches of polite education may be obtained on very low terms at the above establishments.—Bath Herald. POLITICAL -- NEW PROFESSORSH IP OF YOLITICAL Eco- Nomv.—Dr. Whately (Archbishop of Dublin) has, we perceive, founded a Professorship of Political Economy in Trinity Col lee., Dublin. We commend his devotion to a science of which he is one of the ablest expounders, and trust he will follow up his design by seeing that the appointment be worthily filled. The choice has fallen upon James Butler Bryan, Fisq., the author of a work upon Ireland.--Atlas. '' An inquest was on Friday held by R. I. Squire, Esq., on the body of Mary Myers, formerly an ap prentice of Mr. Peter Yeo, and lately a servant of Mr. Marks, druggist. The Coroner sat from half.past twelve to five ex amining witnesses, and the inquest was then adjourned to this day at three, in order to admit the hearing of further evidence, and to receive the deposition of the faculty as to the analysis of the contents of the stomach. From the evidence already given we think not a shadow of doubt can be entertained of the deceased having wilfully taken a considerable quantity of arsenic; and it is our opinion that she was induced to the act from a great depression of s pirit s arising from a species of reli giousiatmalpipiadearbsy, sowainseum•heaat: means commonly hypoc c h al o l n ed dr! conceived the unaccountable notion " that the devil was sure " a. con T v h il e ice t d lec o e f a s s i ed n : " of her, and that she was not born for Heaven, but for hell," which idea preyed so much upon the mind of the deceased that she eventually put a period to her life... Plymouth Journal. DORSET ELECTION PETITION. On Saturday Gower's vote was brought forward by Mr. Harrison, who proved, that Gower did not appear there as owner cr occupier of the premises i❑ respect of which he voted. Mr. Follett called Mr. Horsfcrd, who stated that he purchased some land at Mortcornbe-lake from Lady Caroline Dame 43 trustees a few years ago, exonerated from the land-tax ; and that he considered that Hardown;hill, where the voter's cot tage was built, was appendant to his estate in Mortcombe-lake. Evidence was then put in to prove, that when Horsford pur chased the land the voter had acquired an adverse title to his premises by an undisturbed possession, but that, being subse quently harrassed by Horsford, who brought an ejectment against him, he consented to accept a freehold lease from the new purchaser rather than defend the ejectment: The con tract of redemption of the land-tax, relating to the premises purchased by Horsford, was then put in, but there was no men tion of Itardown_hill. The Committee, after &liberating about half an hour, de. dared that Gower's vote was considered good. From what fell from an Hon. Member of the Committee, we collected that the decisiOn would have been different if the Committee had con sidered the evidence sufficient to prove that Gower was holding adversely when the redemption took place. The Committee sat till five o'clock, hearing the remaining cases in the Blaudford division, when they adjourned till Mon day, eleven o'clock. The following votes for Mr. Ponsonby were disposed of :—William Knight and Joseph Cantrill were suspended before the assessor, but their freeholds not being proved, they were not put on the poll by the Committee ; John Paine held good, and put on the poll ; Joseph Robins, jun., and Robert Turner polled at the election for Lord Ashley, but were struck off by the Committee ; R. Welstead before the assessor, and tendered for Lord Ashley, was put upon the poll. (THIS DAY), Upon the Committee meeting to-day, Mr. VIZARD, agent to Mr. Ponsonby, addressed the Chairman, and said that, in the absence of the Counsel for the petitioners, it was his duty to inform tl 3 Committee that the petitioners declined to offer any further opposition to the return, an arrangement having been made between the parties. The CHAIRMAN asked if it was to be understood that the petition was withdrawn. Mr. \WARD said, the parties had come to the conclusion not to trouble the Committee any further. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and, upon their re-admission, The CHAIRMAN declared Anthony Lord Ashley to bodily elected to serve as a Knight of the Shire for the present Parlia. went for the county of Dorset, and that neither the petition, nor the opposition to it, was frivolous or vexatious. CON' FNT-GARDEN THEATRE. There was a full house on Saturday night to witness a re petition of Francis the First, which, in many parts, met with especial favour, and, on its announcement fur future repre sentation, was hailed by loud and general testimonies of ap probation. The tragedy was followed by a new afterpiece, concocted, it is said, by Mr. Power, the comedian. The fol lowing is a slight outline of the plot :—A mutual attachment exists between Caradino (Mr. Ditruset) and Margarctta (Miss Cause), for whom also Count Manfredi (Mr. Diddear) indulges a hopeless passion. Inspired by jealousy, and hatred of his rival, the Count hires two assassins, Rufo and Carlo, to waylay and murder him. Considering the enterprise a hazardous one, they offer a purse to O'Raft?rty to become a participator. This, not knowing their purpose, he at first accedes to; but, on as certaining it, throws down his wages in disgust, and beats them off, after the Connaught fashion. O'Raffhly, whilst lamenting his destitute condition—for he is hungry and pennyless—is be. friended by a Count 3falfi (Mr. F. Matthews), who takes him home, that he may render him available in some scheme which he is about to contrive to avenge himself of the slight he had recently received from the Countess Molinga (Mrs_ Tayleure), who had refused the offer of his alliance. They reach home at a critical juncture, just as the assassins set upon Coradino. The Count falls down from fright, whilst Coradino bravely de fends himself, and, with the timely and able assistance of O'Ratkrty and his shilelah, is brought off victorious, which terminates the first act. At the commencement of the second we see Oliafflrty bedizened in a suit of velvet, richly em broidered, with bag-wig, sword, &c., for the purpose, instead of carrying—his previous occupation—of being carried in a sedan, to make love to the Countess Molinga, in fulfilment of Count Magi's design. The Countess, who has long repined at " single blessedness," is unable long to withstand the ardour of his passion, engages to come to Count Maid's ball that even ing, where a Priest is to unite them. O'lle(Nrty, about to re. turn, observes Manfredi and Rufo, his fonner antagonist, in earnest conversation ; he conceals himself in the sedan, and overhears their plot to disarm and seize upon Coradino at the conclusion of the ball. Manfredi having left info behind, he soliloquizes his intended revenge on O'Roffirty—the latter springs upon, disarms, and, finally, forces, him into the sedan, which he assists to carry off to the residence of Count Malfi, with whom he concerts measures to defeat his intentions, and se cure the person of Manfredi, who, at his appointed signal with the assassins, is himself arrested, and borne off by soldiers. The Countess is somewhat displeased on discovering the trick which has been played upon her, but becomes reconciled, on assurance that O'Rcriferty is really a legitimate descendant of one of the Kings of that first flower of the earth, first gem of the sea"—old Ireland: Power's great animal spirits and rich brogue enabledjilm to give a very animated portraiture of this genuine son of Tlibernia ; nor was his Irish jig, which he danced with Miss Harriet Cause—who very properly subdued her share of the performance, the better to set-off the apparent impetuosity and love-making on his—the least happy, having been unanimously encored in it. The other parts were well sustained. STATE OF COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. A meeting of the leading members of the Covent garden Company was on Saturday held in the theatre, for the purpose of discussing the propriety of assenting to or dissenting from certain new proposals made by the management with respect to their future salaries, &c. It appears that in the month of No vember last, when the receipts of the house were low, and the affairs of the theatre much deranged, a proposition was made to the principal actors and actresses to reduce ther salaries in proportion to the receipts of the house. This proposition was readily acceded to, on the ground that an agreement should be entered into, formed upon an equitable and gradual scale, and not comprising those performers who received 2/. per week. For instance, if the receipts amounted to 200/. per night, the performers were to receive full salaries; if 1501., two.thirds, and so on ; and, fortunately for them, and thanks to the liberal support of the public, they had not recourse to this expedient more than two or three times. On Saturday, however, notwithstanding the powerful attrac tion of Miss F. Kemble, and her Francis the First, the per_ formers were not supplied from an imperial measure; and to use their own theatrical phraseology, the Ghost appeared with out a head 1 The management now ask further concessions and reductions from the performers ; such as remuneration for authors, coals, &c. &c., which the majority of actors refuse to comply with, and the affair remains in state quo for the consi deration of a general meeting of the members of the Company, which has been appointed to be held this day. STRAND TIIEATRE, MARCH 12.—Made moiselle Celeste, as the Dumb Brigand (in the piece so named), being called for at the close of the curtain, spoke as follows : " Lartis and Shentymins, wizzure permeesione dissa pessa sal be rippit."—Literary Gazette. THE CHARLES-STREET GANG.—In conse quence of the House of Commons not sitting on Saturday, there was an unusually strong muster of the clique of Anti-Re formers at their Divan, in Charles-street. They began to as semble about half.past one o'clock, but the chair was not taken until the arrival of the wealthy Mr. Herries, who dismounted from his high.mettled charger precisely at three. The business opened with a report of the progress of the Committee on the Dorsetshire election, and the necessity for instant increased subscriptions to defray the enormous expense likely to be in curred by opposing the petition. The plan of opposition to the third reading of the Reform Bill was settled, under the ar. rangement of a certain Ex-Secretary, who promised to promote delay by lengthy discussion. The meeting broke up at five o'clock.—Morning Chronicle. _ An English Newspaper must often be as un intelligible, in many of its parts, to our American brethren, as if the whole Press were edited by Mr. Irving, in his unknown tongue. Our House of Lords is now deciding an appeal case, in which one man claims the right to the water of the river Sheen, with all its fish, to eternity, and this in virtue of two charters. His opponent owns land on the banks of the river, and claims the right of nature to catch fists in it. A Court decides that the latter may catch only trout, and that only with a rod. Trout, it appears, are of such enormous size in the Shin that they cannot be caught by rod,—and all these weighty matters are to be decided by our "most potent, grave, and re verend Signiors." In America, where light, air, and water are free to all, a native could as well believe that the moon was a Queen Ann's farthing, and the grant of the Crown, to a Lady of the Bed-chamber, as to understand that a man living by the side of a river could be prevented catching the fish, because some feudal King or Lord had granted the riser to somebody else for ever. Fortunately, Jonathan is not an heir to any such wisdom of ancestry, or he might have found the Missis sippi, or the Chesapeake, and the St. Laurence, granted in fee simple, or in perpetuity, to some Jeremiah or Timothy of old, by virtue of constitutiondl - charters. The bequests of the wisdom of our ancetors are very numerous. -*— THE SOUTH SEAS.—The narrative of the Rev.

Instructions have been received by the Commissioners of Customs at this port, directing that very eta ict orders be given to the respective officers of that establishment, to be very particular in their inquiries and examination of tl c masters of all vessels, arriving from a suspected plate., in order to ascertain the state of health of all persons on board, and in the event of any suspicious case of disease being discovered, such vessel is to be placed under qua rantine, and visited by the medical officer (Dr. Bankes) appointed for thst purpose, upon whose report such vessel shall be immediately released or detained fur such time as shall be thought necessary. A representation has been made to the Lords Commis sioners of the Taeasuty, by the steam-packet proprietors, of the great inconvenience and loss likely to accrue to the in by a detention in quarantine of their respective vessels, the necessity for which, it was hoped and prayed, would be avoided by a certificate of the health of all persons, pa.- sengers and others, on board, to be furnished by a medical officer to be attached to the respective vessels, to be ex pressly employed and paid for by the proprietors for that purpose. The Lords of the Treasury, however, have ex p,e-sed themselves tan-able to grant the prayer of such peti tion, and have directed that every steam-vessel, arriving at a healthy port from a foreign port or from any suspected place in Great Britain, shall be immediately sent to the quarantine station there, to be visited and examined by the proper medical officer, on whose report she shall be released, or detained, as the cese may be. A seizure was made on Tuesday last, at t':e mouth of this harbour, by the Ferret, revenue cutter, Brothers, M tte in command, of an open boat containiug twelve half ankers, and eight quart e- ankers of smuggled spirits, and two men, named John Smart, and Henry Morton, both British subj cts. The boat was first seen at six A.M. sailin g towards Spithead from the southward ; but finding herself noticed, she immediately altered her course, and pretended to be dredging for oysters. She then bore up fur the harbour, and on being boarded, the above quantity of spirits was foursd concealed under her ballast. The parties were brought before Edward Carter, and D. Spicer, Esqrs., Magistrates for the borough, yesterday, and having both pleaded guilty to the information preferred against them, were adjudged to serve in his Majesty's navy for five years. The May Flower sloop, of this poi t, has been seized here under rather peculiar circumstances. She sailed from this port on Friday the 9th inst. and arrived at Poole on Monday last. From certain information it was suspected that she bad been to France for a cargo of spirits, and on her arrival at that port she was visited by the tide waiter, and other Custom-house officers in a boat, who on coming alongside perceived several casks strung together suspended outside the vessel. One of the officers placed his hand on a cask, and was about to make a seizure of his prize, when lie received a violent blow across his knuckles which com pelled him to relinquish his hold, when the vessel imme diately sailed off and e scaped. Information having been given to the Custom-house at this port, of the forcible res cue,lintooity t o h n e h ve e s r se a l n firvoarm herehe seizing o n w e n d ffi n c es e , r i s a , y, s e bo w a r a d s e i o i i a n t e o - i take n possession of by the proper officers. On Beare: ins her, sh e was found to have discharged her cargo, and no thing but ballast was discovered. The case will be prose cuted in the Court of Exchequer, and as it will scarcely be possible to prose that the cubs which were seen con tained spirits, the full penalty will not be, we imagine, sued for. The tub; however, are of themselves illegal packages, and the forfeiture of the vessel is the penalty re quired by law for such offence. The following smugglers, taken off Margate, on the sth inst., and convicted to serve five } e a rs in his M ajesty's Navy, have, this week, been lodged on board his Majesty's IL ship Victory, ; iz., W. Daniels, T. Draper, Gibbs, W. Howlett, G. Castle, and I'. Miller.

The Charybdis, Plumper, Brisk, /Etna, Peloa us, and Pluto steamer, had also arrived at the Gambia; the two latter were to sail immediately, and the remainder in a day or two, for Sierra Leone, where the Dryad was. The whole of the syrielron was perfectly healthy. The Challenger thrived at Singapore, from Madras, 0 the 30th of November. The Opossum arrived at Halifax, SMITHFIELD MARKET. This day's supply of Beasts was good, of Sheep, Lambs, Calves, and Porkers, rather limited.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXC'IANGE. Tl}e arrivals of all descriptions of Grai❑ last week were con siderable, and of Flour, the return was good. This morning there was an unusally small supply of all descriptions of Corn fresh up. The few line samples of Wheat that appeared obtained rather more money than last week ; but all other descriptions experience the same dulness as lately reported. Barley, though not so plentiful as of late, still meats a dull sale. Beans sell very slowly at hardly such good prices as last week. Pease meet very tattle demand at their late quotations. Oats meet with a very slow sale, and hardly maintain the prices of last Monday. The Flour trade remains in a dull state, and prices unaltered. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, fled (old) .... -s. -s.
