AT a Meeting of the Owners of Property in Birkenhead, held at the house of Mr. Moseley, the Albion Hotel, on Monday, the 28th November, 1842; DAVID APPLETON, Esq., in the Chair; . . . The following Resolutions were agreed to : It was moved by EPHRAIM KNAPPER, Esq., seconded by Mr. ROBERT HUGHES, That an Association be immediately established, to be called "The Birkenhead Cottage Owners' Association," to be supported by contributions and annual subscriptions ; and that the present subscriptions of ss. each be placed in the hands of a Treasurer. It was moved by Mr. GILBERTSON, and seconded by Mr. EVA-N JONES, That Mr. Robert Hughes be appointed Treasurer, and Mr. E. G. Willoughby Secretary to the Association. It was unanimously resolved, that a Committee be formed, consisting of the following gentlemen—Mr. Robert Hughes, Mr. E. Knapper, Mr. Wm. Walker, Mr. Robert Meacock, Mr. Thos. Gilbertson, Mr. E. G. Willoughby, Mr. M. N. Raynes, and Mr. John Innwood, with power to add to their number. _ _ It was also resolved, that the First Meeting of the Com mittee take place at the Albion Hotel, Birkenhead, on MONDAY, Dec. 12th, at Six o'clock in the Evening. The thanks of the Meeting were unanimously voted to the Chairman, for his able conduct in the chair. E. G. WILLOUGHBY, Hon. Secretary. N.B. The Committee earnestly call upon all Owners of Property in Birkenhead to become Members of this Asso ciation, without delay, at the Committee Meeting, or by applying to the Treasurer or Secretary. RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of the momentous importance of securing a , protection from fire to Deeds, Records, MSS., Books and Papers of Accompt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all Combustible Materials, that THOMAS MILNER and SON feel excused in again inviting public notice to their PATENT FIRE RESISTING DEPOSITORIES. Having submitted their one-chambered Boxes, of one inch in thickness, to severe trials in the prin cipal towns, they have received from the authorities of each the most satisfactory certificates of their efficiency for ordi nary casualties ; and, being confirmed in their opinion by a long course of experiment, that, under suitable modification of chambers and thickness of boxes, the. peculiar principle of their Patent is capable of affording security under the severest ordeal likely to occur in calamities of the kind, they respectfully solicit the consideration of gentlemen interested in mechanical science to the subject generally, and investiga tion into the pretensions of the various means of security in use, their own amongst the rest. M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail able. _ _ The Certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in Liverpool bears the signatures of the following gentlemen, to. whom permission of reference is kindly given : THOMAS BOLTON, Esq. (ex-Mayor.) JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq. (ex-Mayor.) Sir THOMAS BRANCKER. BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq. L. GRAHAM, Esq. R. FRODSHAM, Esq. WM. STOCK, Esq. S. Woons, jun., Esq. In addition to the above, Milner and Son draw attention to the following statements A trial of M7lner's Patent Fire Resisting Safes and Boxes having been announced by cards, issued to 500 of the scieri tific and principal gentlemen of Dublin, which was adjourned from the Royal Dublin Society's premises, on account of alterations in progress thereon, took place at the Rotundo Gardens, October 7th, 1842. The fire, consisting of half a ton of coals, and fifty to sixty feet of wood and kindling, was lighted at one o'clock, with a box and powder safe, filled with papers, &c., in the centre. The whole were examined by the gentlemen present, whose signatures on the certificate were placed inside. Sir John Kingston James kindly conducted the proceed ings, and locked the box. At two o'clock, at Dr. Meyler's suggestion, a large sugar hogshead, with both ends knocked out, was placed over the top of the fire, which, quickly ig niting, caused a very fierce draught, and produced intense beat on the tops of the boxes, which were seen through the opening crevices of the burning cask most severely exposed. A little before three o'clock, Dr. Meyler, with whom the keys had been left by Sir John Kingston James, opened the box, and its contents, including several parchments with seals attached, were found to be perfectly safe. At half-past four o'clock the Powder Safe was taken out and opened, and the inner cell, with its contents, were still unaffected by the heat. It was again replaced in the fire of red coke, and kept in until six p.m. ; when taken out, after five hours' trial, al though the outer cell was red hot, the inner one and contents, on being opened, in the presence of Joshua Abel, Esq., H. Richardson, Esq., M.D., Messrs. Thosand, Gardiner, Trouton, &c., were still as fresh and perfect as when placed in the fire. We declare our satisfaction with the result of these experiments, and our confidence in the perfect efficiency of this principle for the preservation of all combustible ma terials in ordinary fires. _ _ _ (SIR) JOHN KINGSTON JAMES, (Bart.)

Milner & Son, Office, Commercial-buildings. Oct. 24, 1842. Gentlemen,—At the late fire which consumed my ware houses, I regret to inform you that my Deeds, Papers, and. Account Books, which were deposited in two Iron Safes, made by of Dublin, were completely reduced to ashes, The inconsenience and loss occasioned to me is very great. As I have now no faith whatever in Iron Fire-proof Safes, (at least so styled,) I am induced to purchase your Fire-proot Boxes which have been so strongly tested. I am, Gentlemen, your humble servant, RICHARD G. HICKS. P.S.—Please send me a No. 10, with drawers, and No. 1 for deeds Hamburgh,29th August, 1842. A Public Test of MILNER and SON'S (of Liverpool) PA TENT FIRE-PROOF SAFETY BOXES, took place on the Grassbroke, near the Elbe, this afternoon ; We, the undersigned, having been present during the whole time of the above, feel pleasure in expressing our conviction of their perfect security in all cases of casual and ordinary fires. The Box was filled with papers, circulars, books, and old ledgers; in addition to which, Mr. Wenden, the repre sentative of the patentees, placed his watch inside ; the whole were examined by the gentlemen present, and were locked down by " Heron H. C. Bleaker, 68, Admiralitiitistrasse." The fire was composed of upwards of seven cwt. of coal, and a considerable quantity of wood, oaken slabs, and other com bustibles, solely under the superintendence of Mr. Thomp son, Manager of the Globe Foundry Iron Works. The Box was placed in the fire, and there allowedto remain for one hour and a half, during the chief of which time it was of a while heat. Much curiosity was excited respecting the watch; but on opening the box, it was perfectly safe, and going as true as when deposited—the whole contents were also pre served, including the document on which this certificate is written.

COBDEN AND HIS FALLACIES.—We observe that the Stockport Advertiser has publiihed a series of letters, addressed by " A SHOPKEEPER," to Mr. Cobden, M.P., which, for extent of information, originality of thought, vigour of diction, and bold exposure of popular humbug, are among the best specimens of political writing we have lately read. As the series is now complete. it has been re-published in a form, which will insure for it a wider and more lasting circulation than can possibly be given to it in the columns of a provincial newspaper. Such a demolition of the delusions of the Anti-Corn-Law League is much needed ; and we sin cerely trust, that all who are anxious for the cause of truth, and the maintenance of the best interests of the country, will aid the distribution of this masterly refutation of the danger ous fallacies and mischievous propositions of the Anti-Corn- Law League."—Nottingham Journal. " It may be safely asserted that of all the numberless pub lications which have appeared on questions arising out of corn-laws and the principles of free trade, so far as the writer enters upon and grapples with them, for he limits himself strictly to waiting upon the great figure-head of his Letters, scarcely one can be c►ted where those questions are handled (to say nothing of poor Cobden mangled) in a manner more masterly—with illustrations so abundant, felicitous, and practical—with information so extensive and varied—with logic so powerful and convincing;."--Morning Herald, Wed nesday, Nov. 16. " TEN LETTERS TO MR. COBDEN. — The ten letters ad dressed by A Shopkeeper' to Mr. Cobden, through the columns of the Stockport Advertiser, have not escaped our observation ; and we are glad to find that they are about to be published in the pamphlet form for general circulation. Since Dr. Holland's Millocrat' we have had nothing equal to them, and as an antidote to the promised £50,000 worth of anti-corn-law trash, they will be invaluable." — Manches ter Courier•. tr.) 0 0 1 ILC ntick AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. —HEARTS RESOLVED AND HANDS PREPARED, THE BLESSINGS THEY ENJOY TO GUARD.—SmoLLET.

THE LIVERPOOL FREEMAN, SOUTH LANCASHIRE HERALD PROSPECTUS. _ TN bringing before ilie --- Puidictieprinciples upon which IN their proposed new Journal will be conducted, (of the appearance of which intimation was given some months since,) the Proprietors of " THE LIVERPOOL FREEMAN" have first to state the grounds upon which they have come to the conclusion that such an addition to the Conservative press of their town is required or advisable. It is perfectly true that the great party, upon whose support they throw themselves, are already provided with three able and well-conducted organs. The Standard, the Courier, and the Mail have nobly supported, and they trust will con tinue to support, the cause of order, religion, and sound constitutional principles in this favoured borough. To their spirit-stirringappeals to the loyalty of their fellow-townsmen — to their bold denunciations of the opponents of the great cause in which they are embarked—we owe, under Provi dence, the prostration of a local tyranny which, but a few years ago, threatened to trample us under its feet—we owe the rescue of valued Institutions from a reckless perversion of their uses to party purposes—we owe, in fine, the distin guished privilege of being able to boast to the Constituencies of the Empire that the Borough of Liverpool, parliamentary and municipal, is alike thoroughly Conservative, devotedly loyal, and determinedly ENGLISH ! Still, however, there exists, they are prepared to contend, a void in the ranks of the Conservative press of Liverpool, by the filling up of which the spread of sound constitutional principles may be infinitely extended. A crying void too it is—not one which has only, at the present hour. been disco vered, but which has long and loudly made itself known. The Conservative cause, not only in Liverpool but through out the South of Lancashire, requires A WEEKLY ORGAN which shall devote itself to the advocacy of Conservative Interests throughout the District to which its circulation is proposed to extend—which may be read, with profit and in terest, in the families of the Landed Proprietor and the Far mer, as well as in those of the Merchant, the Shipowner, the Tradesman, and the industrious Operative. It is not, however, solely because there is space and a career of usefulness for an additional Weekly Conservative organ amongst us that the proprietors of " THE LIVERPOOL FREEMAN" step forward to offer their services to the Con servative Public. Had this been the case, they would, per haps, have deferred to the claims of those of their brother journalists who already ably, if not so fully as could be wished, preoccupy the ground. The undeniable fact has been brought before their notice, that the want of such a journal as they propose is daily contributing to spread, amongst a large and valuable class of our community, those noxious principles which, more than any other, it should be the study of every lover of his race to discourage and put down. Whig-Radicalism, under all its different degrees of dilution, possesses its five Weekly Newspapers, which are thrown into every Newsroom—into every Tavern—into the families of tradesmen, shopkeepers, and mechanics, often for the sole reason that they contain, in one sheet, the whole news of the week ; whilst to procure the same amount of news, in a more detailed and valuable shape, two Standards or three Mails must be purchased. Conserva tism, on the other hand, has but one Weekly organ—the Courier of Wednesday—and thus, at the close of the week, hundreds of Conservatives, who cannot afford the outlay re quired for the purchase of the existing Conservative papers, are driven to nauseate upon the ribaldry of Popish-Radical and Dissenting organs, to hear their Protestant principles anathematised, their Church and her observances ridiculed, and those great Mterests, Agricultural, Colonial, Maritime. and Commercial, by whose growth in prosperity England has grown to be the mistress of the world, attempted, r to be laid prostrate at the feet of a grasping and tyrannical mill ocracy. By the Agricultural population, most of them Consgrva fives, who visit our markets with produce every Saturday, and who take home with them each some one of our weekly organs, the want of a Saturday's Conservative Paper is par ticularly felt. From the Hundred of Wirral alone, some hundreds of farmers and dairymen attend our town on that day. Probably ten thousand Agriculturists in the neigh bourhood receive their mental food from the press of Liver pool; and yet these parties are now compelled to introduce into their families some one of the journals in question. To supply this vacancy—to counteract the poison thus in fused into the minds of a great portion of the middle and --- lower classes—to afford on a - Satuiday to Conservative Fami lies, and especially to those of the Agricultural, Trading, and Operative Classes, an honest and sound-principled record of passing events—" THE LIVERPOOL FREEMAN" offers its pages to the patronage of the Public. And now a few words—and but a few—upon the principles which this journal sets out to advocate. " THE LIVERPOOL FREEMAN" will be CONSERVATIVE in all things, except in proved abuses—Conservative, especially, of the old ways of the Constitution—of old local interests— of the old loyalty, independence, and privileges which have placed Liverpool the first amongst the Commercial Towns of the Empire, and which have made her voice the first in in fluence in the Great Council of the Nation. " THE LIVERPOOL FREEMAN" will also be, firmly and unalterably, the advocate of The Holy Catholic Church of England and Ireland, as by law established ; and the enemy of innovations, whether made upon her Temporalities, or upon her pure doctrines and practices—whether made from without or from within her pale. That Church we shall support, in all its entireness and in all its efficiency, turning neither to the right nor to the left, to court the favour or to disarm the hostility, of any party. Need its Proprietors say more with respect to their prin ciples ? CONSERVATIVE, LOYAL, and PROTESTANT Yes—they will here record, in addition, their pledge that immorality, profanity, indecency, personal scurrility, false hood for party ends, dishonesty, FOR ANY END, shall never be permitted to sully their pages. They will hold up a shield before the weak and the defenceless, but they will never vin dicate wrong ! They will strike for the right and strike hard ; but they will never raise a weapon in an unholy, an unmanly, or a wantonly unjust cause ! With such motives to influence them—with such determinations to guide them — if they should perchance err—(and human nature is weak and fallible) —surely the recording angel will blot out the memo rial of their offence, and their fellow-townsmen judge them with leniency and charity ! " THE LIVERPOOL FREEMAN" will appear on SATUR DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY OF JANUARY, and will then be published regularly every SATURDAY MORNING. It will be printed upon THE LARGEST DOUBLE SHEET ALLOWED BY LAW, from THE BEST TYPE, and upon THE BEST PAPER. It will contain ALL THE NEWS OF THE WEEK—FAITHFUL REPORTS OF EVERY OCCURRENCE OF INTEREST, THROUGH OUT THE DISTRICT—FULL ANALYSES OF THE PROCEED INGS OF THE LEGISLATURE—ORIGINAL LEADING ARTI CLES UPON THE MOST IMPORTANT PUBLIC AND LOCAL TOPICS—REVIEWS OF NEW PUBLICATIONS—ORIGINAL LITERATURE—SHIPPING NEWS, MARKETS, &C. &C. In short, it will be the effort of the Proprietors to place before their readers one of the best, if not THE BEST, of Family Weekly Conservative Journals, embracing Politics, Litera ture, and News, which Great Britain possesses. That they will succeed in doing this they do not say ; but they will at least make the attempt : and they now entreat the Conserva tive Public to give them, all that honest men need ask — A FAIR TRIAL ! Subscribers' Names and Advertisements will be received by Messrs. CRISP and HEALEY, Slater-street; and Mr. C. DAVIES, Bookseller, North John-street. The First Number will:appear on SATURDAY, the 7th of January, 1843. CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS. GEORGE CARLYLE, 38, Bold-street, Agent for Liverpool. J. H.

Extract from Dr : Sigmond's Lecture on Captain Pidding's _ _ Tea before the Med. Bot. Society. " This particular Tea has been very much and very de servedly prised, and has now become a Standard Tea in this Country.' (Prom Dr. James Johnson, M.D., Physician to his late Majesty, Sec.)

" Sir,—Ever since your Tea was first introduced, myself and family have used it ; indeed, only it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to all others. "Yours, &c., ," * Jyt.MES JOHNSON, M.D. " To Captain Pidding." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he alone imports, have given the same title to rubbish of their own, so that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's," " Mowqua's," " Saoqua's." or some other spurious mixture. Against such imposition, the only security is " CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME." This they have not yet forged, and.his signature is on every really genuine package. Sold in Chinese Catty packages, containing one pound and one-third, nett of Tea, exclusive of lead and paper,—the Black, at the rate of Gs. 4d. per lb. ; the Gunpowder at 9s. per lb. ; Half and Quarter Catties in proportion. A Qua r te r Catty o Black, charged 2s. 2d., will go as far as half a pound of the commonest Tea, if made according to Capt. Pidding's directions given on each package.

THE HON. GRANTLEY BERKELEY'S DEE': MATCH AT CHARBOROUGH PARK. This event, which for several months has excited an ex traordinary degree of interest in the sporting circles of the metropolis and the west of England, from the novelty of its character, was, on Tuesday, decided in the fine demesne of S. E. Drax, Esq., one of the members for Wareham. Precisely at half-past ten, the hour appointed for the busi ness of the day to commence, there approached from the - mansion a very imposing cavalcade, consisting of Mr. Drax and Mr. Hussey—umpires for the match—the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, Mr. Drax's huntsmen and whips, and two grooms with spare horses for the party about to assay the wager of woodcraft. The umpires were clad in ordinary equestrian attire—'ll r. Berkeley wore a suit of green, a velvet cap of the same colour, with a rich gold band, and, slung at his back, the implements of his craft. The servants of the hunt—their frocks of jonquil-coloured velvet, with purple collars, and the grooms' liveries of crimson, which, added to the pre valence of grey horses, gave the cortege as gallant an ap pearance as may with propriety be exhibited in these degenerate days. I would say more of this pageant, but as Edwin Land seer was there to put it on canvass, it will soon appear again with all the actors "in their habits as they lived. Having passed in froUt of the "lines," and offered courtesy to such of their friends as they chanced to recognise, bending to their saddle-bows like knights of old, the principals straightway addressed themselves to the encounter. Here it is fitting something should be said anent the nature of the wager—if wager there was any—of which there were doubts, as the name of no second party transpired, and one or two of Mr. Drax's friends, whom I questioned on that head, by no means gave me cause to differ from the generel opinion. However, whether for love or money, it was a gallant adventure, and one which few men could have under taken with more chances of success than Mr. Grantley Berkeley. The conditions, then, of the match, were, that in the course of the day Mr. Berkeley should, with the aid of one dog only, pull down, " hobble" (that is secure by fasten ing the four legs together), five bucks, and to leave them in Possession of the servants by whom they were to be put into a deer cart, provided for the purpose. When so carted, they were to be examined by the umpires, and each one found un injured—that is to say without any serious wound or hurt— was to count for the captor. Mr. Berkeley's apparatus for " hobbling " was very complete: the horse he had trained to ride up to the courses would lie down at the word, so as to leave him free to deal with his quarry, and his dog—a noble deer hound—had already pulled down his three bucks in one day. The name of the steed is Brock, that of the hound Odin—and, with perhaps the unnecessary explanation that the buck is the adult male of the fallow, as the stag is of the red deer, we will follow the cavaliers afield. _ The mounted party already described, led by Mr. Drax, ride up to a herd (Charborough Park contains a great herd of venison—mere than one hundred red, and eight hundred fallow, deer), and use every device to separate a buck from the lot. In vain they harass them from end to end of the domain—the best result being to get a brace of bucks clear, evidently the Damon and Pythias of the herd. These, run ning wide of each other—Odin is slipp'd at a white one—and lo ! a course is up. The Berkeley rises in his stirrups—his voice rings through the clear air—he cheers on his hound in tones that make the gazer's heart leap. But scarce have they run a bow shot's length when the buck stands at bay. Ah ! what is it I see ? By Dian's self Odin retreats, and the antler-bearer is the victor!! Again the deer is made to try his heels—again he is at bay. Mark ! some new device occupies the hunter. The black buck, who still had watched and waited on the Sylvan surface, is now selected as the victim. Odin is cheered on to him—he flies, and almost reaches the lines where the excited spectators look breathless on. Good deer ! brave deer ! the hound is at thy haunch— he leaps to thy throat—ah ! the forester turns, and his antlers crash against his foe. Odin is dashed down the hill, he slinks to his master for succour, and no cheer avails to launch him again on the forest champion. The dark deer bath won the day. At the third failure Mr. Hussey rode up to the company, announcing that Mr. Berkeley had abandoned the match, a statement the gentleman himself presently confirmed, by saying "It was a bad business." Whatever the cause, a more complete failure there could not have been. Mr. Berkeley did all that was possible in the case, but his dog seemed beaten in the first attempt to close with his quarry. I saw him as he was led away, and his keeper told me he was a good deal injured ; he certainly had some hard knocks. Upon this untoward finish, Mr. Drax sent for his own deer hounds, and there was some good coursing before the party broke up. I cannot take my leave of that company without alluding to one member of it, who, with his equipage, made up as unique a total as probably ever met in the same sum. It was an equestrian who, together with his pony and his boots, make up a party numbering 126 years—the rider being 84 years old, the steed 27, and the boots 15—as it was told to me. This was the well-known person, Butler of Framp ton, the associate of King George the Fourth, then Prince of Wales, and who looked hale and healthy enough to stand in a similar relation to the present prince of that ilk, whom may God long preserve. " OH 'TIS LOVE, 'TIS LOVE." St. Peter's Church in this good city was to have been the locus in quo of a more than usually remarkable marriage ce remony on last Tuesday morning, which excited much at tention among, at least, the fair portion of our citizens. The bride was one of the few capital prizes in the lottery for public competition—young and beautiful, witty, grave, and gay—in short, having every accomplishment, and £60,000 sterling coin of this realm at her own disposal. Fortune and this fair millionaire smiled benignantly upon the scion of an ancient house which reared its aristocratic front in the county of Westmeath. Mr. —, the beau ideal of a jovial, light-hearted, but sound-hearted Irishman, who thoroughly well understood the adage of " a wink is as good as 8, nod," &c., lost no opportunity in confirming the fa vourable impression he had made ; and the course of true love did run smooth. Mr. - in due time proposed to lay his soul and body at the feet of the fair Miss -; his heart, although beyond his control, would still be a principal in the solemn league and covenant. The maid returned A. slight blush, a' soft tremor, a calm kind Of gentle feminine delight, which an anchorite, let alone a Westmeath man, might con strue into an affirmative. Rumour, with its thousand tongues, announced as a posi tive fact, that the sole heiress of Jonathan -, the wealthy salesmaster, had thrown her handkerchief to Mr. -, and that she was only waiting for the close of the year to throw off her sable suit to don the bridal garments. Three, four, or five months the lovers passed (as ardent lovers have done from the days of Anthony and Cleopatra to the present), when the shady side of the picture appeared in, bold relief. Executors, those mar.plots, those plague-spots on the ro mantic page of life, came forward to forbid the bans. Hav ing read all the " provisoes" of the old gentleman's will with more care than the next of kin bestowed upon that document, after the main fact was ascertained, they discovered that if Miss - married without their consent, she should forfeit one-half the assets, £30,000, and of course Mr. - could not hope to obtain so important a concession. _ _ Pending the hiatus caused in the correspondence of the lovers by this unlooked-for discovery, a gallant son of Mars stept forward with the approbation of the executors, to so licit the smiles of their ward ; the lady was seized with what is called, in garrison towns, the scarlet fever, in the delirium of which poor was forgotten, while Captain pressed the siege with vigour. To make a long story short, the captain woo'd and won the lady, to whom he was to be married on Tuesday last. The favours were duly prepared—the gloves, rosettes, cards, cakes, &c., &c., not forgetting the glazed notes apprising distant friends that " Captain and Mrs. would be at home" on such a day—in fact nothing was neglected that was necessary to give eclat to the ceremony. The intended bridegroom, who was stationed in Scotland, obtained lease of absence from his colonel, and left his brother officers with the cries of "joy, joy," ringing in his ears to proceed on his matrimonial expedition. "There's nothing certain under the sun"—that's a fact. On Monday afternoon Miss proceeded to the house of her milliner in Grafton-street, to inspect her wedding gar ments, when who should she meet at the door—of all men in the world—but the discarded Mr. —. He solicited a last interview—'twas granted—soft words were heard—then sturdy speeches and then sobs—the upshot of all being that the lady and gentleman left the house together, and a few brief lines received at the residence in Fitzwilliam-square in formed the inmates that she would not be home for some days, and accordingly " could not be at the wedding of Cap tain next morning." It now appears that the man of Westmeath scattered to the winds all the fine saws of the man of war. The happy Couple journeyed towards the residence of a benevolent clergyman, who detests restraint in his own proper person, and without the preliminary trouble required by the orthodox, he united them in the holy bands of wedlock. Tuesday morning came, and so did the captain and the guests—but what occurred in the premises further we know not. Rumour says, that Mr. —isto be invited to a ball after breakfast, the first fine morning after he appears in the enemy's camp ' • but as this is not agreeable weather for a bridegroom to be left shivering on a daisy, he'll be a precious goose if he accept the kind invitation.—Dublin Correspondent of the London Standard. Tuesday last being the 12th anniversary of the Polish re volution, a great number of Poles ass embled in London, to celebrate the event. Several very ele g ant and energetic speeches were delivered in the Polis h lan g ua ge ; and the meeting broke up amidst the hearty wishes of all present that the next anniversary might be celebrated in Poland. Capt. Jablonski, who was called to the chair, said, that sorry as he was to embitter their already protracted sufferings, he could not pass over in silence the religious persecutions which the remorseless hand of their enemy has recently inflicted upon their country. He could not refrain from saying that the faith of their ancestors, the churches wherein its rites were celebrated, and the clergy who administered its conso l at i o n to a people deprived of e ver y earttity blessing, haa met with treatment at the hands of the Emperor of Russia which would have disgraced a barbarian conqueror. But it was not for him to relate the particulars of the unexampled cru elties perpetrated by the ambition of Nich o l as ; th e pu bli c press had already brought them would decreelight,themto that an thesedhtrus offered insults trusted that th name his justice of religion to the pri nc i p l es o f Ch r i st i an i ty er A ed lm it i l Almighty in should be of no long continuance. Suffer, as they all must, to sec their fatherland reduced to such a depth of misery and abasement, to find themselves wanderers in a foreign land, and severed from the ties which are dearest to humanity, still (continued Capt. Jablonski) they must not vet despair. The cause of justice must ultimately triumph, and this con viction ought to inspire every one of them with certainty that the cause of Poland is not lost, but she is destined once more to become a barrier against the irruption of Asiatic barbarians (he could give them no other name), and prove, as she has often proved before), the bulwark of Christendom and of Europe. STATE OF THE COUNTRY.—After a most harassing march of nineteen or twenty miles, over the wild and dreary moun tains of the Queen's County, Constable Lyndon, of the Silo ravogue station, accompanied by Sub-constable Gibbon, both dressed in coloured clothes, succeeded in arresting, in a lonely and isolated hovel in Butter Island, Daniel Keeffe, a ruffian who was principal in the robbery and grievous assault of Patrick Conway, a poor farmer, near Kennitty, in the month of March, and for which one of his accomplices has b een transported for fifteen years. As the constable and su b_ constable were escorting their prisoner on his way to Birr, some country fellows made their appearance, to whom the prisoner threw some signs, which they seemed to comprehend very readily and return. After this interchange and of signs. the counsry fellows closed around the police,attempted to hold oral communi cation with th,... prisoner. Constable. Lyndon and his companion were then, in their own d e f ence, obliged to present their pistols, and threaten to shoot the first man that would attempt to come near their. The mem bers of the ribbon fraternity slunk hack from their brother in distress, while in view they threw themselves into a variety of attitudes, and telegraphed to Keeffe how deeply they com miserated him in his trouble. The fellow has since been fully identified and committed to Tullamore Gaol, to take his trial at the next assizes.—On the night of Thursday the 17th inst. , a pa rty of men, four in number , some of whom were armed, and all with their faces blackened, broke into the house of Daniel Kennedy, of Lisnamoe, and searched it for fire arms. Not finding any, they broke open Kennedy's box and plun s r d e e n re t. d it of t fi g 3 p s 0 . , s s w e 1 8 i s i e c heha d themselvescollected thetowardse money payingthey dhei parted. When they had been some time gone, Kennedy sent a messenger to the Ballymackey police station, to inform Head-constable Bourke of the outrage ; and that efficient officer succeeded in arresting, under peculiar circumstances, two men, whom Kennedy has fully identified, and who are committed to our gaol to abide until the spring assizes of this ri ding . —Nenagls paper.
