The great natural advantages of the River Plate and its widely-extended tributaries have attracted to the ports and cities near its mouth European traders, who require nothing but peace, security, and freedom to make the commerce of those regions a source of wealth to them selves, and of advantage to their native, as well as their adopted, countries. Our own exports to the provinces on the River Plate have reached an amount of nearly one million sterling per annum, or about half the value of our trade with Brazil ; but the disastrous excesses of the war are stated by competent authorities to have caused a loss to British trade amounting to four times that sum. We insert in another place an able and impartial cam munication from a correspondent, which shows the real state of the ease, and points out, in a striking manner, the political influence which has already been exercised by a British mi n ist er s i nce th e out b rea k of hostilities. As far as any assurance or advice given by Mr. Mande ville could pledge the British Government to a course of action with reference to the civil war which has been raging since 1842 between Buenos Ayres and Monte Video, we are, is fact, already bound to prevent the Monte Videans from undergoing The horrible conse quences which Would undoubtedly follow the termination of the siege hv the capture of their city and the triumph of Oribe. 'The operations of Oribe's army are entirely supported by the supplies he receives throughthe port of Buceo, which is in the power of the Argentine squadron. The mere blockade of that port would rendeethe position of the invading force untenable; and it would then be easy for the mediating Powers•to impose etpsitable terms on the belligerents, and re-open the markets on both sides Of the river to the commerce Of the world. Mere exposttillition will have littit effect on such a man as Roses, and still less on the ferocious soldiery of his Generals; but as soon as he perceive , : that his army on the lkft bank of the river-is under the 'control of the European Powers, and thet'Europe is resolved that the independence of the Banda Oriental shall be respected, he will probably yield without resistance to the necessity of the case. 'his understood that the present polition and cireum- Les in which the Monte Videari Government is placed, have been powerfully urged upon - the attention of the French as well as of the English ministers by General O'Brien, an officer whose long acquaintance with the South American States, and usefal services in the cause of their independence - entitle his opinion to considerable 'wtight. We trust that the recent interviews of General O'Brien with M. Gtiiztrt, and with - King Louis Philippe. 'himself, will not prove unfruitful; 'and that the procrasti nation which appears'to have preversted Mr. Gore Ouseley from proceeding on his importantkinission, will not` be 'prolonged to such' en extent a to defeat the principal object of it. It is undoubtedly most desirable that France -and England should concur in the line of policy toqx 'adopted, and especially that their naval agents on the South American station should fully understand that the powers are sincerely anxious to , arrive at the same con clusion—the reFtnration of peace,and the independence of Monte Video. 'But this is not merely an enterprise of co-operation got , up for the purpose of exhibiting - -the effects of the entente cordiale ; itis-t state of things which imperatively demands a firm 'intervention from Europe; and, if necessaryi - the Brazilian Government, whoselerri torial interests are more immediately affected by thewar, ought at once to-receive an unqualified assurance tif the determination of England to do --what is necessary :and just, if, indeed, -some such assuranw has not been:already Meanwhile M on t e Vid eo is besieged; th e traffic , Of the River Plate 46 -stopped ; the- communications-lip the country by several of the tributary streams are interfered with ; the territory of the Banda Oriental, depoptilated by the continuance of hostilities,i.ig in the possession --of a ruthless army ; and if the last accounts should prove to be correct, and the city surrender from the inability of the Monte. Videarts to carry on -the contest, there is.every probability that the war would be still further extended by an incursion-of the Argentine troops into the Brazilian province of Rio , Grande. Predatory bands, accuctorned to the license of war, without the discipline of -civilised armies, must be , cmployed on distant expeditions, -or they become the scourge of the people and the terror of the ,-government at herne ; and the .policy of Rosas in wagrg this calamitous,war has at least relieved himself from stt convenient rivals and dangeroussuhjects. But some of , the -most important iEterests of the world require thatanend -should be put to a series of evils arising out of this sangui nary, however sagacious, policy; and if Roses possesses the acuteness and:devotion to the interests of his countryfor which he has sometimes obtained credit, he will-vise-his , power for a wiser pr,it pose than that of butchering •his op ,ponents and destroying his neighbours. In this country the attention of.the public, and especially of the greatma nufacturing and artercantile communities of Liverpool, , Manchester, and Glasgow is justly excited on the subject; and the number orcommunications we have ourselves re ceived since we first adverted to it, suffices to indicate ‘She importance which -is attached to the decision of the Go vernment. It is-universally felt that-everything depends on. promptitude,and resolution. A few months, or even weeks, may bring us tidings from Monte Video of calami ties which it will be impossible to retrieve, and of out rages for which no redress can ever be.-obtained ; but in a ILprobability there is still time to save the independence of a country which we have recognized,and in a manner created. There is --still an opportunity for restoring peace to the great free markets of central-South America; but if such an opportunity be lost, it will be a disgrace to our diplomatic character, and a loss of isx.slculable extent to our.. national interests STATE OF QUEEV'S COUNTY, °JRELAND The 4eineter Express of Saturday states that that part of Queen's County :biclE fair to rival North Tipperary in its mut•sanguinary phases, a sudden outburst of vio lence and-outrage, almost cnparallteld in atrocity, having taken place during the short period and in ,the limited sphere marled by the perpetration. The &weirs then furnishes the they ace as follow— : " About seven o'clock a party of armed men surround ed the house of Thomas Conroy, on the land.of ,Clona heen, of which property he is bailiff. Two of them entered and asked for the man.of the house. Conroy in cautiously made answer and eaid, Here I am;' a4pon which one of the party desired -him to kneel down, pre sented a pistol at,his head at the-same time. Conroyav ing assumed a kneeling position, the Rockite demanded of him his firearms. Having declared that he had none, the man said, Where are those which . Mr. Coen gave you ; ?' and at the same :time he discharged his pistol at him, wounding him with three sings in the breast. Conroy fell prostrate and bleeding on the floor and the two assassins retired ; the second o ne h av i ng in the interim rummaged the boxes. Conroy's wife now lifted him from off the ground, and while she wasin the act of ,doing so, she heard a voice outside exclaim, 'Ci'o back and shoot him dead;' . and almost at the instantithe same ruffian re-entered and discharged a large pistol or +blunderbuss at her wounded husband's head. The shot lad no effect upon Conroy, for he was saved by his wifes arm, which had been flung *mud his neck, but she received a bullet which shatter ed her arm. The party, being satisfied thee they had assaesinated Conroy departed. Is is to be remarked, that during this tragical occurrence there were two men (rela tives of Conroy) sitting at the Are, but they were obliged to keep.tbeir beads averted, under the threat of having their braise blown out. There wee also a number*f per sons in ithe adjoining house, which is under the same roof, but no exertion was made either to rescue Conroy, or to captuee those who attempted to assassinate him. Tke man who Aril! the shot was in no way disguised ; and was tall and well-looking. In about 15 minutes after the above attempt to assassinate, a band cf armed men, supposed to be the actors in the foregoing diabolical at tempt, went to the ; ouse of John Glennon. in the same neighbourhood; there were in the house at the time Glennon, his two daughters, Anne and Mary, and three men named John Dunne, John Murphy, and Daniel Farrell. Anne Glennon hearing a noise at the door, went and opened it, upon which three men entered, one of whom, a tall young man, was armed with a pistol, The armed man desired Glennon to kneel down ; having com plied, he accused him of taking ground. Glennon denied having taken any. The fellow then asked him if his sons did not work with Mr. Beale? To this he answered that they did. Upon this the second man said, ' Shoot him ;' but the third man interfered, saying, th a t p er h aps they were wronging him. They then contented th emse l ves with extorting a promise from him that he would give up the land. Before they departed they threatened him with death if he should be the occasion if bringing them there a second time. On the same night, in the neighbourhood of Barkmill, as Mr. J. Manley was sitting by his fireside, about nine o'clock, a shot was fired through the window, which wounded the back of his head, at the same time lodging some bullets in the wall near him. His servant man, named Kennedy, was sitting at the fire with him at the time ; the maid servant, Ann Ackroyd, who had entered th,a house almost at the moment the shot was fired, states she saw five or six men at the end of the house. Conroy and his wife are better, and hopes are en tertained of the recovery of the former. Since the perpe tration t K the outrage, not one of his. neighbours has ex pressed any sympathy for his condition. Ap p pig:l3oe of the state of society, the following are two dialogues heard between different parties Paddy, is Conroy dead ?" No, bedad !" Well, that is bad news; for if he lives, he'll hang somebody.' A person inquired of a person from Clonaheen if Conroy was shot ? Oh, yes, he was,' was the answer. 'What did they shoot him for ?" Only for fun, man!' The wound Mr. Manley received is not serious. His escape was most miraculous; however, as regards the atrocity of the crime, it is fully as great as that of the unfortunate Shep pards. The people in country districts are in a dreadful state of excitement and terror. Nothing can exceed their fear if one of the authorities be noticed making any inquiry of them, as the appellation of informer' is easily gained, and insures the person to whom it is attached every chance of either being maimed or murdered. A question naturally presents itself to the thinking mind, while reflecting upon these outrages—it is, what does the Government intend to do ? Is the country to be deci mated ? or are the well-disposed and respectable members of society to live, not with the sword suspended over their heads, but with the assassin's pistol aimed at their hearts ?"

SPECIMEN OF LusERALISM.—At the annual meeting ,of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and Manufac rtures on Monday, a,gentleman was excluded from the :board of directors—on which he had served, as all parties :admit, with great zeal,z.nd ability,—and excluded on the sole ground that, at the last election for South Lanca shire, he acted as chairman of the committeefor that can didate to whom a majotity of the meeting were politically imposed. On thatoccasion Mr. Entwisle heat the Anti-corn law League ; and if .ve may judge from what we.hear upon thesubject, and from the,parties who put themselves for ward at the meeting on Monday last, the league have chosen 0 revenge that defeat upon Mr. Birley,the chair man of Mr. Entwisle's committee. We must confess that this appears to us a very strange and a very unwarranta ble proceeding, and one calculated to prove exceeding' mischievous in its consequences.—Manchester Gezaidian. LANCASHIRE Asslzr.s.—Au official notice has been issued from the prothonotary's office, specifying the rou tine of business to be transactedat the ensuing assizes for the county, which commenced at Lancaster yesterday, and will,eosomence at Liverpool on Saturday, the 22d of March. The jury process for causes at Lancaster was issued at Preston yesterday, and swill commence at Liver pool on Saturday, 22d of March. Rule days after the as sizes, Thursday, 27th of March. The causes intended to be tried at Liverpool will be entered in the following or der.:—lst List Salford Hundred. 2d List —West Derby Hundred, or elsewhere.

THE ROYAL INsTitrorrost.—On Friday. the annual meeting of the proprietors was held at the institution, Colquitt-atreet, the Rev,. Rector Cardpbell in the chair. The report was marked by few features of novelty. The following are the beadsc—The finances are not quite so satisfactory as at the end af the last year. A payment for three years parish rates, and another for making the warehouse contiguous to the institution fire-proof, have precluded the possibility of purchasing additional speci mens. The medical school having been transferred to the Infirmary, had caused a reduction of income on that ac count also. The museum, therefore, remained in statu quo, with the exception of some additional humming birds. The curator expresses an ardent wish, before any addi tional specimens are purchased, that internal alterations and enlargements should be made, which would cost about £2OO. The schools go on satisfactorily, the admissions being more for the last year than for several years. Three scholars of the universities and two wranglers have been added to the number of the previous distinctions ,• and the account of subjects read in the last half year by the upper classes spews that, in addition to the ordinary elements of useful knowledge, and a classical and commercial edu cation, the institution provides instruction of a high aca demical as well as scientific character. The scholarship projected by some of the former pupils has, through their liberality, been founded. This is to be called " the Iliff Scholarship." The committee of the Canning statue hav ing offered the committee of this institution £360 for the foundation of a scholarship, on condition that the sum should be made up to £5OO, the committee solicited subscriptions from the proprietors to completethe amount. They have succeeded with very considerable difficulty, and there will now be also a Canning scholarship attached to the institution. It is earnestly hoped that both these pi c ture gallery remai ns as b efore. The report paid a scholarships may be increas e d b y f uture su b scr i ptions. The well merited compliment to the late Mr. Thomas Win- B u rn ley, so long a liberal contributor. The number of visitors on the free days had rather fallen off. In conclu sion, the committee appeal to the proprietors and the public for an increase of patronage to the institution asan establishment for the promotio n o f sc i ence and the , f i ne arts. The report was una n i mous l y conf i rmed. The ac counts of receiptp ppd expenditure were also passed. BIRKENHEAD POLICE-COURT.—On Monday last, Char lotte Edgar was committed for trial, charged with robbing the house of Mr. W. Rowe, at Seacombe, on the 30th of December last. The prisoner was formerly a servant in Mr. Rowe's employ. On the same day, Ruth Smith was committed for trial for stealing a quantity of delph ware from the house of Captain Denham, at Seacombe, on Sunday week. Two men were fined 2s. 6d. each, and one man 55., for evading the toll at Woodside Ferry on Sunday night. MANSLAUGHTER.—On Tuesday an inquest was held at Burnley, on the body of Patrick Markey, a hatter. He h , d been unwell, and sent his wife for some arrow root to Mr. Heaton's, a druggist. Mr. H. being out, his father, by mistake, gave her two ounces of arsenic. Two other persons were also served with the same poison. On the mistake being discovered the utmost dispatch was used to recover are deadly mixtures—in two of the cases with success, but the deceased had previously swallowed an ounce of the arsenic, and died after four hours of ex cruciating agony. A verdict of manslaughter was re turned against Mr. Heaton and John Curl, the shop-boy who assisted.—A man named Booth, residing at Bury, has been committed to the Liverpool assizes on a charge of manslaughter. Some boys pelted him with snowballs, and twice knocked off his hat. He became enraged, picked up a piece of coal, and threatened to throw it at them, if they threw another snowball. Another was thrown, and Booth then flung the piece of coal, which struck a boy named Bamford on the head, fractured the frontal bone, and caused death. The deceased was stand ing near to the boys who had been pelting Booth. INQUESTS.—On Friday, two inquests were held before the Borough Coroner. The first was on Jane Nelson, an elderly female, about 80 years of age, who, while crossing Oldhall-street, and approaching the arches of the Ex change-buildings, was knocked down by one of Thomas Lenthe's carts, and both the wheels went over her legs. She was removed to the Northern Hospital, where mor tification set in, and speedily produced her death. There was no blame attributable to the driver, as he did all in his power to pull of and avoid the deceased.—The se cond was on James Connell, 53 years of age, who com plained of the cold and a pain in his inside, went to bed, and died before a surgeon was able to reach his premises. —On Saturday two inquests were held ; the first on the body of James Malanney, aged about forty. The deceased was a labourer, and lodged in North John-street, and had complained for the last six months of palpitation of the heart. He was attended occasionally by a medical man, but it appeared that no medicine bad latterly been pre scribed for him, his case being considered hopeless. On Friday night he went to bed in his usual health, and early next morning was found dead. Verdict, after a post mortem examination, of death from natural causes.—On view of the body of a new-born female infant; found in a chamber of the Grand Junction Railway Inn, (Mr. W. Kirby's,) Lime-street. A female servant in the bouse, named Ann Thomas, kitchen-maid, has been suspected of being encienle, and was spoken to on the subject by one of the other female domestics, but denied the fact. She complained occasionally of a pain in her back and head. but was able to follow her work, and on Friday morning she Was requested to go to bed, which she did, and was treated as for an ordinary complaint. About three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, another of the female servants, who did not suspect anything wrong, went into her room, and found in the chamber utensil the dead body of the child., (full grown,) of which she had apparently de livered herself. A surgeon was immediately sent for, ard she afterwards acknowledged that she had delivered her self. She did not state whether the child was born alive or not. Mr. John Whitley, surgeon, stated that he had been accidentally at the inn that morning, and being tolu by Mrs. Kirby that the young woman was ill, he went up stairs to see her. She complained of her head, and he or dered her a little aperient medicine, which it appeared afterwards she did not take. He was sent for to the house that afternoon. On entering the room he saw the child in the chamber utensil, with its head down. Hot water yes ordered, with a view to restore animation, but all his efforts were without effect. The naval cord had been torn asunder. - He found that the mother had been recently delivered. He asked her why she had not told him of her precarious state in the morning, and she said she did not now of what she had been delivered, or that she was de livered at all ; that she could riot accountfor it. He exa mined the body of the child, which was full grown. In his opinion the child was born alive, but was immediately afterwards suffocated. Death would probably have taken place in this way in a few seconds. He was of opinion that she had been delivered whilst sitting on the chamber utensil. This she stated herself, and els.) that she had torn thecord with her fingers. She could have done this without lifting the child. The coroner summed up, and theTary returned a verdict to the effect that the mother secretly delivered herself, and that the child was suffocated trot-want of assistance during birth. The mother will, of course be committed so soon as she can be removed, for trial at the assizeS•forthe offence. The coroner re marked that the case was one of so serious a nature that he simild transmit copies of the depositions to Mr. Rush ton, the magistrate. WARRINGTON. 'ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—On Monday last, Alfred Tomkinson and Hannah Itiehardson-were placed in the ckyek ;under very singular circumstances. The latter was charged with stealing a quantity df tea, linen, pork, veal, mutton. beef. &c , &c., -from Mr. Wagstaff's, of Fir grove, near Warrington. Mr. Jones, the constable, was .going to Manchester °tithe morning of Thursday, the6th instant, by the coach. On approaching the grove, he saw the female prisoner, and servant to Mr. Wagstaff, coming from the house with a paper parcel. She handed tie driver the parcel, which was directed " Alfred Torokin son, to be left at the Coach-office, Mane ester ; carriage raid?' Near Manchester tbe,prisoner called to the coach man to know if he had a pardi for Alfred Tomkinson. When he had got the bundle, Mr. Jones jumped from the box and took him inside the-omnibus, where they opened it, and there found a letter with the above articles, and signed H. Richardson. He then took him into custody, and brought him to Warrington; and, on his arrival, he sent David Wills for Richardson, who immediately con fessed. They were remanded till Wednesday, when they were filly committed to Knuteford Sessions for trial. MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—The fifth vocal concert took place on Saturday evening last, at the Institution, Academy-place. Miss Penketh, Messrs. Brown; Taylor, and Broadhurst were the principal vocalists, and Mr. Eaude conductor. The evening passed off with mirth and harmony. John Murray, Esq., M.A., F.D., F.S.A., commenced a course of seven lectures on the elements of. chemistry on Monday last, and will h he intends to con tinue until the 28th instant, in the above room of the in stitution. This institution is rapidly increasing in merit, and keeps forming different new classes. The Darsbury Club ploughing match is to come off on the 20th February, in the township of Rachsaye, near Runcorn, Cheshire. The patrons are Sir Richard Brooke, Bart., and Sir John Chetwode. Gibbert Greenall, Esq., is president, and the vice-presidents are P. Whiteway and W. Wilson, Esqs. After the match is over, a dinner will be provided at the Ship Inn, Frodsham. Doubtless but this will be grand match, the prizes offered being so very MISCELLANEOUS -Qutcx TRAVELI4IWG.—We have teen favoured with the following extract from a letter dated Boston, Decem ber 31, 1844 :—"I left Quebec on Friday morning, the 27th of December, by way of the Gosford-road, Canaan, Lancaster, and Plymouth, to Boston, 346 miles, where I arrived on Monday, the 30th of December, with a day and a half to spare before taking passage by the January steamer. I would recommend this route as decidedly tte best, cheapest, and most expeditious for passengers from Quebec hence. It is 100 miles shorter than the route by three Rivers. Mr. Bailie, who runs a line of stages from Canaan, will undertake to convey passengers from Quebec to portland in 36 hourf:, and thence to Boston in four hours. I could have come in a much shorter time; and when a line of stages is established in this route, the expense from Quebec to Boston will not exceed £3 10e. to £3 15s.—Quebec Gazette. MIRACULOUg ESCAPE.—On Monday evening, on the half-past six o'clock train from Birmingham approaching Spetchley station, a man named Smith, a resident of Peopleton, near Penshore, and who appeared to be some what-under the influence of liquor, jumped out of a se cond-class carriage before the train had fairly stopped, and his foot catching the step, be was thrown down, part of his body being under the train, his head being on the outer side between the wheels of the carriage and the wall of the station. While in this perilous position he was dragged a distance of some yards, and all who witnessed the occurrence anticipated nothing less than certain death as the reward of his foolishness; however, on the train stopping he was extricated, an d it was found that he Ind escaped with the loss of two or three fingers only from his right hand, and after a short interval he was enabled to proceed to his home.-- Cheltenham Examiner. REVOLUTION AT ICHABOE.—Strange as such a fast may be, it is not more strange than true. By letters which have arrived in town this week, it is stated that a complete, and, happily, a bloodless revolution had taken place at Ichaboe, at the date of the last desp = atches. It seems that in the operations of the first six months after the island was visited, a host of agents or supercargoes established themselves on the island, erecting tents and temporary residences. In a short time they had marked off the ground, and laid claim to all the principal parts as their own bona fide property on behalf of themselves' and their employers at home, erecting loading-stages a and . selling pits at extravagant prices. Till the revolution no opposition was made to this mode of procedure, and the consequence was, that ultimately no ship, unless the CBp... tain submitted to these land sharks, could get a shovel's breadth of ground to land upon. When an agent bad a. ship loading at his stage, he purposely kept dallying with the work, until another ship from his house at home would arrive to take up the berth, although there might be 300 other ships surrounding the little island, and wait- ing for access to the beach. Squabbles and small fight. were of continual occurrence, and increased till a sloop of-war arrived to preserve order. Her commander re mained till he believed his presence was no longer neces sary. On the following day the demurring shipmasters held a meeting, and it was very soon resolved that a gen eral reform should be made instanter. There were about 300 ships at moorings, and each ship agreed to send her proportion of men ashore with guns and bayonets, muss. tering altogether about 1,400 men. Supercargo town wee attacked, and its entire population put to the rout at the point of the bayonet, and driven directly into the sea, np to their chins, and the discomfited landlords there and then made to swear, that from that time henceforth they had relinquished all right and title to the soil of Ichaboe, after which declaration they were permitted to return to their places of abode.

While the actress who was performing Isabella was, in the second act, reading the letter from Robert, the long veil banging behind her, suspended irom her coronet, caught fire from a gaslight, and in a moment was in one entire blaze. Fortunately, it was seen by the foreman of the fireman, who instantly came on the stage, tore off the veil, and with it the coronet of the princess, and treading the whole under his feet, extinguished the flames. The actress was thus saved from any personal injury, wh:,;.„ might not have been the case had her dress been made any lighter materials than the heavy and 1 -- - velvet of which her robes were from the fright, but in a very s'e and resumed her part,—Galignant. MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—On Monday afternoon last, a most mysterious and singular occurrence took place in Sutton, Macclesfield, at the house of a person named Smith. As the domestics were engaged about the house, a strange rushing kind of noise, though not very loud, was heard near the fire-place, and immediately the house was filled with smoke and soot ; the furniture was seen to move, as from a violent shock ; some shelves, fastened to the wall, were torn off and thro to the ground, and some earthenware, placed upon broken to pieces. The most strange part of all, however, is, that when the smoke had subsided, the door of the oven was found to be broken off by the hinges, and lying in several pieces on the floor; no part of it appeared to be fused, but all seemed to be shattered like -' other brittle substance. A woman and some childre were much bruised, but such was the surprise and con fusion of the moment, that they are unable to tell whether they were hurt by substances striking them, or by some invisible agency. o.le of the children 's faces appeared as though it had been pricked in several places by a pin. A strong smell of sulphur was also observed. A bakehouse on the opposite side of the _ course of the same afternoon, full of so. unknown cause, and a strong smell of sulphur was ob served there also. The day was very foggy ; and we have spoken to several persons living in the neighbourhood, who saw a flash of lightning about the time these singular occurrences took place. It seems, therefore, highly pro bable that they were caused by the agency of electricity. —Macclesfield Chronicle. CHRIST CHURCH, OXFORD.—A circumstance which occurred a few days ago in Christ Church College has been the subject of much conversation in Oxford. A large party of young gentlemen, members of the e college, were discovered by the censors in the act of gembling, and for very high stakes. The discovery took place between two and three o'clock in the morning, when the censors entered the room where the party were,and as their presence was not perceived by the young men, they saw and heard sufficient to justify them in their proceeding. The next morning four of the young men (one of them a nobleman) were rusticated, and three of them expelled. Two of the latter bad previously been rusticated. The sequel of the affair does not say much for the discipline of the college. On the night after the expulsion, or rather at one o'clock in the morning, a large body.of the students sallied from their several rooms each with a torch and a bundle of faggots, and in the course of a few minutes a large bonfire (formed of the furniture of the seven young men) was blazing in the centre of the Peck water Quadrangle. The censors looked on powerless. On the following night the doors of the rooms of all the heads of the college were painted red. On the dean's door there was a figure of a bear, with the insc r ipti on "ursa major." Other doors were painted with similar The whole college is disord' in consequence of these pre - eg, opinions afleen in the university measure adopted by the dean.

Peace has been proclaimei declared in Teignmouth, and coscesstons throughout the diocese : Falmouth alone Here the strike approaches almost to rancour, would seem that this parish church, being on, the first to raise the flame, is to suffer with somethe like retributive vengeance so long as an emblem is left, Last week a vestry assembled to make a church-rate, and the old wound was opened afresh. Some of the oldest churchmen of the town opposed the rate, alto gether, conside ing that course the most likely to produce a concession. Others, with sullen indifference, voted in favour of so muc h, an d that only, as churchwardens from personal risk. this motive was the rate granted. it wss from no love towards their church or their minister. Every item was reduced to the legal minimum, and the organist ordered to be discharged ; the present churchwardens intending, before they quit office, to take possession of the organ and lock it up. Last Wednesday, another meeting was held in the vestry-room of the town workhouse. to consider what further steps it was neces sary to take. It was a very numerous and respectable meeting. The Mayor, Mr. W. Broad, one of the church wardens was called to the chair. A resolutioneves passed, to the effect, that the Queen be memorialized on the sub ject; that petitions be presented to both Lords and Corn mons, and that in the one house the matter be entrusted to Lord Ebrington. The tont of the meeting was tem perate, but determined ; and there seemed to be a settled conviction upon the minds of all present, that if anything like peace was restored to this parish it must be dime by some authority far above the Lord Bishop, or the non resident rector, who, we hear, sends his curate, only last week, instructions to make no alteration from the present e o e ll arlomasenedTmerohetdQi miserable e ns: Eui ists o eiemaessf f erbrt aneThal wttyebAehauolrTgnereter journeyl hp: have ti p eaßnrnb , ,: a di est n ohos d thst lenoboeamsi t i. ev h ofßscaeer a aksmot: t hat he nt e e ttahglifn;no, expected stswrbnmeipouhonaEretgt sidtisct.hil,uegni he t () is, ne: eekwtsi el escape, lei find hei. esttifilnr, everything cenus(ditleft, converted vt, since gtttnh n oticing e is his people, it is t rue; but, alas, what merit is there in con- E o d r verting men into enemies?—West Briton. the annoyance to which her Majesty and the Prince were subject at Brighton, thus remarks upon this scandalous affront :—" How touching a pictu r e of Itoval distress and ta d hn u flight of Louis XVI. from Paris, his detection, arrest, antici pating the pleasure of freedom and the rare enjoyment of a walk like other folks. Fancy their delight at the suc cess of their disguises—they have passed undiscovered to the Chain-pier; they are on the Chain-pier enjoying the sea breezes, unstared at, unsaluted, unmolested. They are the great unknown. But the term of liberty expires. The Pier Company only allow two hours for the Royal freedom, and it is time to return to the Palace. As the happy pair turn towards their prison, they see with consternation the cliffs covered with the enemy, and from the tollgate they have to fight every inch of their way to the Palace ; often did they seem on the point of being driven into the sea ; indeed, had the Britons made the stand against Caesar that the Brightonians did against Victoria and Albert the Roman conquest would never have been achieved. But when gentlemen painted blue, the stubbornness of the true British blackguard was unknown. The errand boys, always of an inquiring and observing turn, espe— cially distinguished themselves in opposing the royal pro gress, and a youth unknown to fame, with a basket of cabbages, was so resolved on seeing the royal countenance that he intrepidly looked under her majesty's veil. Now, certainly the liberty of walking may not be immodestly claimed by the Queen of England. That the Sovereign should not be trampled on is not too much to ask. Let her not in her promenades be the mob-led Queen.' But how is her majesty's liberty to be secured ? Suppop no tice were given that for a certain time every day black guards resolved to stare at the Queen should be adinitted to do so in the Palace, on the understanding that they should leave her majesty undisturbed in her walks and drives 1 The qualification for the presentation, should,' of course, be blackguardism, and none should be ad mitted to this levee who did not claim the character of blackguards. How Her Majesty, beset by the Brighton blackguards, must have regretted the boy Jones. How modest were his ways; intrusive, indeed, but not obtrusive; inquiring, but not molesting; spying 'unseen, like Sir James Graham, How different the conduct of his curiosity from that of the Brighton ragamuffins. But still, what is to prevent the cat's looking at the king ? How is the police or thei magistracy to prevent the crowding about her Majesty, which is no offence; If a blackguard peeps under the veil of a private gentlewoman walking with her husband, the fellow gets a thrashing, and every one says that it serves him right. There are impertinen ces which the law does not punish, and which can only be restrained by the chastisement which is the ullima ratio of the code of manners. If bystanders, feeling, as they ought to do, gave a good thrashing on the spot to imper tinent fellows molesting the Queen, there would presently be art end of the nuisance. This would be putting a mark on the offenders which would pretty effectually cure them and deter others. CUNNING OF THE TOMTIT.—A correspondent of the Gardener's Chronicle says ;—" My gardener tells me that a shrubbery at the bottom of the kitchen garden abounds with the family Tit, and that lie observes them come down on the roof of the wooden bee-house, and tap upon it until a bee comes out, when Master Tit pounces upou it, and eats it up.
