London : Darton and Clark.— We have in these excellent publications a valuable addition to our nursery literature. The first, second, and third " Catechisms of Common Things" are adm'rably adapted to fill the mind of an observant child with a knowledge of the origin, elements, and uses of the objects which he sees around him, the explanations and descriptions being neither too derailed nor too bare. They are, in fact, justly adapted for the juvenile com prehension. We have also a Catechism of the History of England, a first Catechism of Geography, a first Catechism of Bible History, and a first, second, and third Catechism of Natural Philosophy. When the se ries is complete, it will afford a most valuable aid to the instructors of our youth. Leisure Hours : a Series of Early Poems. By C. B. Greatrex, jun. 2nd Edit. London : Tilt and Bogue ; Liverpool : Grapel.—This small collection of oddities strung together appears actually to have reached a se_ cond edition. As we do not see the merits the public appears to appreciate by encoring the slender perform ance, we can only regret the impaired state of our visual organs. There may he beauties—we don't say there are not ; but we should like to have them pointed out. We would not withhold the meed of fair praise if we could sincerely introduce the author and the public to each other ; but really we don't see how we can. Poetry is a fickle thing. The mere gift of rhyming may be mis taken for the possession of poetical ideas ; and when au thors can persuade themselves that rhyme is poetry, they can furnish any quantity, like a tailor's suit of clothes, at a few hours' notice ; and so the frog, swollen with rhyming fecundities, seems rapidly in its own eyes to rival the giant ox in bulk—of volume at least. By the kind help of the printer, this can he done nowa days ; and the author " hugs the dear deceit." For our own part, we think that prose is a much more re spectable department of authorship in which to make our debut, at least, on the stage of literary transcription; and if young authors would be persuaded to " think soberly, as they ought to think," reserving their green ears, which may promise well at first, until their crude juices shall have been matured into the full fruitage of golden grains, ripened by the genial noon of reflection, and frosted even for a few nights by the nipping process of self-criticism,—then would their labour stand better in the shock of public review, and might be garnered into the treasury of the republic of letters, without the risk of moulding from greenness or dry-rotting.

WANT OF FAITH.—The defect of our times is a want of faith. We live in an age of reality. Every thing is to he paid for upon demand, everything is to be accounted renry of enthusiasm has been called in. There is no reverence for any features of truth behind the veil. Our temper resembles that of the Pundit who inquired of Henry Martyn whether by embracing the Christian reli gion he should behold the Deity in a visible shape. This eagerness to perceive every object without delay and im pediment is a characteristic of minds which have not been acustomed to gaze at the luminary of truth, and might be rebuked by a Hebrew legend which we have read. "You teach," said the Emperor Trajan to a famous Rab bi, " that your God is every 'There, and boast that Pe resides among your nation. I should like to see him." " God's presence is, indeed, every where." the Rabbi re plied ; " but he cannot be seen, for no mortal eye can look upon His splendour." The Emperor had the obstinacy i'f power, and persisted in his demand. " Well," an swered the Rabbi, " suppose that we begin by endeavour ing to gaze at one of his Ambassadors." Trojan assented norin.of7ol:l lea(litis him in the open air, for it was the shining down uoil the . world in its meridian glory. The emperor made the attempt, but relinquished it. "I can not," he said, " the light dazzles me." " If. then," re joined the triumphing Rabbi, " thou art unable to endure the light of one of his creatures. hsw canst thou expect to behold the unclouded glory of the Creator?" It is a beautiful and touching parable, and teaching humility not only in religion, but in literature and in life.—Fraser'B Magazine. REMARKABLE CONTRASTS.—That was a striking mo ment in the life of Louis Philippe, when, two mouths afterwards, he read in the columns of the Moniteur, at Nuilly, the fatal ordinances of July 18301 M. Diipin rushed to the Chateau : all was agitation and alarm. But the duke had resolved not to alter his independent and dignified attitude. He had come to the resolution to re main in France let what would occur; and no longer to be exposed to the insults, ignominy, prosecutions, and sorrows of foreign exile. Although the Duke had been prepared for some coup d'e"tat, the ordinances of July greatly exceeded his worst apprehensions, and the resist ance of all ranks of the people by no means surprised him. Yet, again, to him his duty was clear. He remained at home, in the bosom of his family, attended no meeting, gave no advice, entered into no correspondence with the revolutionary party. and so acted during Sunday. Monday, and Tuesday. On Wednesday, having been apprised that an attempt would be made to arrest him, the duke con cealed himself in the house cf a friend, and but a short time had elapsed alter his departure, before the soldiers of the Polignac cabinet arrived, to carry that intended arrest into effect. So wholly did the Duke isolate him self from the revolution and its agents, that even when his presence was called for by the chiefs of the success ful movement, he could not be found, and his retreat was not known to his most familiar friends. At length the cry wa heard, " Long live the Duke of Orleans !" and the Scandinavian pedestrian, the Swiss professor of ma thematics, and the dollar-less wanderer in America, was proclaimed—King of the French !—Frazer's Magazine. HERESY ON THE BIBLE — TRUE RELIGION IN SAI- An esteemed correspondent t ring my pa-sage friim India to the Cape, in a ship called the Alexander. the following very interesting circumstance happened. A quarter-m ster on leaving the helm, entered the cabin to report. The captain was not there, but a clergyman. a passenger, was at the time intently bent on perusing ` Hrnry on the Bible.' Jack, being at his back, thought it a flue chance to peep at the studies of his rever ence, but was taken aback on observing what he consid ered to be, by the el-arest possible evidence (his own eyes) Heresy on the Bible.'—Jack's ' whew! ' pretty audibly given, s'artled the clergyman, who turning round had to encounter such a look f'om the sailor as greatly discon certed him. Jack retired hastily. The next day was Sunday. The deck was rigged for church—the hell sounded —the clergyman, captain, officers, and passengers, were all ready, but none of the crew made their appear ance. Tile boatswain was ordered to pipe the hands to church ; he,'however, respectfully intimated that he would ius write, . . general, when to the clergyman's surprise, Jack appealed alone, and simply stated that the ship's company were not over particular, but they were just then debating what should be done, with the gentleman in black who was teaching them the way to—' Look at his book !' cried Jack, ` and y iu will find him regularly cramming him self with Heresy on the Bible. 1 caught him in the fact yesterday. The mystery was soon explained to honest Jack, who jumped below and was heard shouting. Par son's not the —! Parson's not the —!' He returned, followed by all his shipmates, who joined in the service, and never more devoutly."—Freemasons' Quarterly Re view for October. ELEPHANT EUUNTING.—Capt. L—, now command ing at Padenny, went lately out elephant shooting, and when not more than twelve yards from a large tusked one he coolly took aim and fired at him, intending to send the hall through hi: head ; but, in place of doing so, he only wounded him in the neck ; which so enraged the enormous animal, that in the most furious manner possible he in stantly chatged Capt. L—, who, having gone up so close, as to be almost, I may say, within the reach of his trunk, had no hope whatever at being able to escape. While the c; ptain was in this critical situation, a Kaydyan, who had for some time kept close on his heels, threw him self between hint and the elephant, pronounced rapidly, hut distinctly, a few words, and stopped, the enraged animal coming on in full career; he then held forward his suns, and uttering some other words, in a very loud tone of voice, the elephant turned round and fled, trump eting most harshly and frightfully, breaking and crashing trees, ,and everything before him ! let the reader only, imagine the few yards of ground, covered with In ushwood, that seperated Capt. from an animal, which, in his progress through the jungle, prostrates the smaller trees and bushes as easily as I would standing corn ; the brief space of time allowed—say a couple of minutes,—and that took place, and he must be lost in amazement ! Upon Capt. _L—'s inquiring what had become of the man s' to had in so wontiertula manner saved his life, he was told that he was gone off into the jungle the mo ment after he had driven away the elephant ; and upon his insisting upon knowing who he was, as he was anxi ous to do something for him, he was then informed that he was one of their most powerful charmers, and that it was very uneertAtt whether he, Capt. L-, would ever be attic to find hint, or to induce him, whatever might he the r' , " rn ruce held out, to come to him.—Field Sports in Ceylon. GENERAL MISCELLANY The conservatives have a clear gain of eleven on the re gistration for the West Riding of Yorkshire, The Queen held a Privy Council at Windsor Castle on Monday week, when parliament was ordered to be pro rogued from the 19th instant until November. The lawyers of Stockton, one and all, without exception, have agreed to close their respective offices at six o'clock, both winter and summer, for the benefit of their clerks. A NUNNERY IN SUNDERLAND.—The whole of the ar rangements are now completed by the Rev. P. Kearney, for commencing this establishment. In Birmingham £30,000 is said to be saved to the in habitants by having the gas lighting of the town in the hands of the Corporation. The committee of the London Wood Paving Associa tion has offered a gold medal, with thirty guineas, for the best machine for cleaning the streets.—Artizan. The revision for North Cheshire has terminated. The conservatives succeeded in sustaining sixty-eight objec tions, and the radicals only eight. Mrs. Wood (ci•divant Miss Paton) with her husband, attend Chapelthorpe, near Leeds, every Sunday, and render the choir the most efficient of any in the district. COTTAGE ROBBERY. —On Sunday, the 24th ult., the cottage of a labourer named Cudmore, at East Donyland, was broken into, and £B, the hard-earned savings of in dustry, stolen therefrom. Two men are in custody. CUSTOM-HOUSE FRAUDS.—Several new discoveries of frauds were made at the Custom-house in the course of the last week, and parties before unsuspected are, we hear, implicated in them. A circular has been sent to the creditors of Messrs. Dixon and Dalton, of the Dudley Bank, informing them that a dividend of 6s. Bd. in the pound will shortly be paid. The Great Yorkshire Stakes, to be run for at York Angust meeting, 1846, has closed with 117 subscribers ; and the Competition produce, for the same year, with 27 subscribers. Mr. J. B. Smith, a leading member of the Council of the Anti-corn-lam league, offers himself a candidate for the borough of Kendal, vacant by the sudden death of Mr. Geo. Wm. Wood, M.P. Mr. Slott, of the Edinburgh Town-council, has given notice of a motion "to petition parliament to remove from the land the established church, and apply its re venue to a useful purpose," MANCHESTER ATHENIEUM.—The bazaar for the pur pose of paying the debt on this institution, was held last week. Up to Friday night the sum paid into the bank on account of the bazaar, was £1,600, but the debt amounts to £3,000. REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY OF LONDON.—Mr. Thomas Baring (conservative) has accLded to the invita tion of a numerously-signed requisition, and offered him self as a candidate for the vacant seat. Mr. Pattison (radical) is the opposing candidate. ATTEMPTED MURDER.—On Friday, Mr. Waller, morchant, at St. Mary-at-Hill, London, was in his count ing -house, when his clerk, Thos. Rowe, about 75 years of age, drew a pistol from his pocket and shot him in the left side. The effect of the wound is at present uncertain. The vicar of Ware, which parish has been so much dis turbed by contentions respecting Church matters, has advertised for a curate on account of his health. The curate is required to be " in full orders, of sound church principles, good judgment, and calm temper." The Chartist Convention, lately held in this town, have started the notable project of raising a fund of £lOO,OOO ! They say the money is to be appropriated in the purchase of 1,000 acres of land to be divided into small allotments. —Birmingham Advertiser. On the fells between Kendall and Shap, Westmoreland, on Friday night week, the mist was so dense, that the drivers and guards of the mail and other coaches say, they never encountered such great difficulty and danger in getting along that terrible road. A VERY IMPUDENT THIEF.—Last Monday evening, some persons obtained access to the bench-room at the Town Hall, Brighton ; and, whilst the officers and the police were about the ball, they broke open the poor-boa, and carried off its contents, amounting, it is supposed, to about £3.—London Paper. YORKSHIRE CHESS ASSOCIATION.—The Earl of Mex borough has consented to take the chair at the great meet ing of chess-players to be held in H uddersfield on the Bth of November next. This has given great satisfaction to all the members of the association, and a large muster is expected. THE WIFE OE THREE SUICIDES.—On Monday an inquest was held on the body of David Mason, aged 48, a coal-weigher, of 23, Lower Shadwell, who had destroyed himself, leaving his family in great distress. His wife, who was examined on the inquest, stated that this was her third husband, all of whom had committed suicide! FALL OF A HOUSE.—Two PERSONS KILLED.—On Tuesday afternoon a house fell in the village of Westfield, near North Weildham. There were seven persons in the house at the time. Two of them, a bedridden old man named Prosser, and a poor woman named Wilkes, were buried in the ruins, and when their bodies were dug out life was extinct.—London paper. SECOND EDITION. .....••••••••,V1.4// Ur• V urvvn• STATE OF DUBLIN The City of Dublin Steam Ship Co's. steamer Queen Victoria, Captain Beasley, arrived in the river this morn ing, at about a quarter past six, from Kingston. When she left, yesterday afternoon, Dublin was perfectly tranquil. A great concourse of people lined the principal thorough fares leading to the Abbey-Street Theatre and the Rotun da, and the greatest possible anxiety prevailed, all anxious to learn the next step of the Government. As bad been preciously notified a repeal meeting was held in the Abbey-Street Theatre, and a repeal dinner given in the Rotunda, at both of which O'Connell and his leading col leagues, including Tom Steel, were present. The meeting went off very quietly ; but, so great was the attendance, that none of our informants were able to get within hearing, and, as there are no papers published until after the Queen had sailed, it is impossible as yet to give the tenor of the speeches. A mail, however, leaves Dublin at half-past nine o'clock, and by her we expect further particulars, which we shall publish in a Third Edition. A rumour was current that the arrest of O'Connell would be effected to-day, and we have good authority to believe the probability of such a rumour. Several Conservatives who from curiosity had secured seats on a platform that had been erected at Clontarf, have been completely duped of the price, 2s. 6d., which the Association refuse to restore. It is said £BOO has been pocketed by this scheme. CHINA By the Overland, accounts have been received from Hong Kong and Canton as late as the 26th July. A fire had broken out at Canton, but by great exertions on the part of the Chinese Governor and the English residents and sailors, it was fortunately subdued without occasion ing much damage. The latest date from England was April 6. A copy of the treaty brought home by Colonel Malcolm is among the documents furnished, and em braces every apparent provision for a future amicable understanding. As far as we can ascertain, the mer chants are highly satisfied with the treaty. Sir H. Pot finger had formally assumed the government of Hong Kong on the 26th June; the city on the northern side of the island being named after her Majesty, " Victoria." A. Legislative Council was appointed, magistrates and other civil officers had been installed, and the whole pos session seems so show signs of rapid growth. Mention is made of the loss of a vessel believed not before to have been noticed, viz., of the Alcmene, Capt. Gilbraith, from Bombay to China, lost on Ceram Laut. The crew and a considerable part of the cargo were saved, and taken first to Banda by the Dutch war schooner Argo. The Spanish governor of the Philippine Islands arrived out on the 11th June. INDIA. The military news of the month does not possess much interest. The Hyderabad force had returned to that station. There was a great paucity of European officers at Kur rachee and Sukker. Lieut. Horne, the Adjutant of the 55th Regiment, was drowned by the upsetting of a boat in the Kbypore dis trict. All officers on staff employ, belonging to corps in Sinde, had been ordered to join their regiments. The amount of prize-money at Hyderabad is likely to prove very considerable. The troops employed in Scinde at the end of June amounted to about 16,000 men, and a wing of the 78th and of the 2d Bombay Light Infantry had been sent to Kurrachee from Bombay. _ A large force was stated to be assembling for duty in the Pnnjaub, on account of recent disturbances there. RUMOURED ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.—Both the Prussian Gazette and the Augs burg Gazelle make mention of an alleged attempt on the life of the Emperor of Russia on the 19th ult. The for. mer paper says that either a gun or pistol was fired at a late hour in the evening close to the Imperial Chancery's carriage when it was passing the Walliscbei suburbs. The Augsburg Gazette says, " It is rumoured that twenty shots were fired at the Emperor and his suite, and that by a miracle nobody was wounded." The person who fired had not been discovered. GRAND RUNNING MATCH BETWEEN THE FOUR CHAMPIONS OF ENGLAND. -This match, which has ex cited so much interest in the sporting world, came off at Reading, on Monday last, in Sampson's cricket-ground. The champions were—Wild and Byrom, from Lanca shire ; Maxwell, from Sheffield ; and Sheppard, from Birmingham. The distance was one mile (three times round the ground, and 19 yards added). Precisely at 3 o'clock the start for the first heat took place, which was accomplished in 4 minutes anti 50 seconds—Sheppard winning by 8 yards; Byrom, 2; Maxwell, 3; Wild, 4 The men having rested about three-quarters of an hour, the second heat took place. Byrom took the lead once round, when he was passed by Sheppard, who kept ahead throughout, winning by about 7 yards; Byrom, 2; Wild, 3 ; Maxwell, 4. This heat was accomplished in 4 minutes and 53 seconds. EXECUTION AT STIRLING.—On Wednesday morning, Allan Mair, who was convicted at last Circuit Court at Stirling, of murdering an old woman eighty-five years of age, his reputed wife, underwent the extreme penalty of the law. The unfortunate man, who slept but little on Tuesday night, was visited early on the following morn ing by the chaplain of the prison, and another clergyman, with whom he spent a considerable time in devotional exercises. Shortly before ei g ht o ' c l oc k th e mag i s t ra tes arrived in the hall of the prison, to which the prisoner was brought, and where he engaged for some time in prayer. His arms having be en pinioned, the procession moved slowly along to the scaffold, where part of a psalm was sung and a prayer made on his behalf. He then shook hands with those tr tund him, and after remaining for a few minutes in pray er on the fail drop, he gave the signal, and was imme, lately launched into eternity. Mair was about 84 years of age, THIRD EDITION. Standard-ogice, Twelve o'clo.k. MEETING OF THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION, YESTERDAY The usual weekly meeting took place yesterday, the 9th, in Calvert's Theatre, Abbey-street, the Corn Exchange being insufficient to accommodate the numbers expected to attend, including some hundreds of the Liverpool re peelers, who arrived on Saturday and Sunday. The theatre was crowded to excess in every part. Shortly after twelve o'clock the chair was taken by John O'Connell, M.P. Addresses of congratulation were then presented to Mr. O'Connell, from the repealers of Manchester and Staley Bridge, congratulating him on the progress of the repeal agitation. He briefly thanked the deputation for the compliment paid to him. _ . Letters were read from various parts of the country, enclosing subscriptions, and many of which were denomi nated " proclamation money". Mr. O'CONNELL, in reference to a phrase in one of these letters, said that nothing could excruciate him more than the occurrence of anything tending to a breach of the peace, and he would be most unhappy if he were not certain that repeaters gave him credit for entertaining these sentiments. He would conduct them through the present crisis safe and sound, unattacked and uninjured, in person or property. They should give their enemies no occasion for triumph; and they would come out of the present crisis with the certainty of obtaining legislative independence—that to which their lives were devoted, and the struggle fir which they never would give up, ex cept with their last breaths. (Loud cheers.) Mr. GREENE, of Liverpool, handed in £45 from that locality, and read the names of the contributors, many of whom, he said, were then present in the pit, and were ready to do or die if necessary. (Great cheering.) Mr. NUGENT, of Kingstown, handed in .E 7 Ios., which, he said, he had collected on the previous day at the door of his own house, by hoisting Mr. O'Connell's proclama tion as a standard. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The peo ple flocked around it immediately, and in a few minutes the sum he had handed in was collected. He was de lighted to see the soldiers who landed in Kingstown yes terday sharing their bread with the poor creatures who were asking alms on the beach. Mr. O'CoNstget. handed in what he termed his own "proclamation" money—Xs from himself—£l from each of his seven children, and 255. from his quarter of a hun dred of gran, ch. ldren. (Cheers and laughter.) The Hon. and Learned UENTLEXIAN then came for ward to address the meeting, and was received with great cheering. Be said he had never addressed a public meet ing with a greater feeling of responsibility—with a more triumphant conviction of the propriety of the conduct of the people, and of the iniquity of their enemies. (Cheers.) It was true he had passed a most hideous day yesterday, because for hours he could not raise his confidence in the people to such a pitch as not to apprehend that mischief might occur at Clamart', and a massacre of the people ensue as the inevitable result of any disturbance. (Hear, hear.) He would say it was not the fault of the govern ment that a massacre did not take place, and if he were to go to the scaffold for it, he would not hesitate to assert that it the government wanted to entrap the. people, they just adopted the cuurse calculated to effect their purpose. (Hear) Had it not been fur his interposition a massacre would have occurred. He now called on the people to- obey every thing having the shape or appearance of legality— if they wished for safety to themselves and for a repeal of the union. It' they follow this course they must in evitably -brain repeal—by keeping themselves out of the power of their eni m es, who would never venture to throw off the mask and raise the dagger against them —(hear arid cheers.) If they did so, it would, of course, be a different case altogether; but he wanted to carry repeal without shedding a drop of blood—without crime or violence of any kind—in such a way as than he could meet his Redeemer without having anything criminal to answer fur, in that struggle for the liberty of his coon try—(cheers.l It had been said that if' he was arrested there Might be a struggle. They could say nothing that more grieved him, for it led to the inference that they did not believe him to be sincere, when he told them to keep the peace. He now told them to obey the law even if he were to perish in consequence of that obedience. The course of the government with respect to the Clontarf meeting was, he repeated, calculated to cause the slaughter of innocent people. They were in possession of the fact for three weeks, yet did not announce their attention of putting it down till the last moment Only for the activity used, and his being in town, the friends of the people could not have cautioned them from attending, and the result might have been tearful. For six months the go vernment had permitted, nay, he might say, countenanced these meetings ; they knew the names of those who took part in them, yet there were no prosecutions--no hint even of their being illegal—no caution given —in fact, on the contrary, there was a continual acquiescence and ac knowledgment of their legality on the part of the govern ment. Up to Friday last such was the state of things, when suddenly the government thought proper to inter fere with the last of their meetings, and one, too, above all others, characterised by decent tranquillity, for the requisition by which it was convened was signed exclu sively by Catholic clergymen. (Hear, hear.) Why did they not publish the proclamation in the Gazette of Fri day l The associationTiKhl her ti i vrt o tg .. pze ; before it was issued ; and if he had not sent messengers u to the various parts of the country, whence the people were expected to attend, there was no doubt that three or four hundred thousand persons from the surrounding counties would have assembled at Clontarf on yesterday ; and, if they had done so, it would be next to a miracle if some riot were not committed or fomented. (Hear, hear.) Any of the low Dublin Orangemen could have gone there and done it. (Hear, hear, hear.) He asserted that a set of men who could act so, were unworthy of being entrust ed with the government of Dalkey Island. (Laughter.) He then took out a copy of the proclamation, and com mented on it in a sneering and contemptuous tone, clause by clause. One clause referred to placards calling on people to march in military order. Of these placards the Association knew nothing : they were anonymous. The charge that their meetings tended to bring the govern ment and constitution into contempt, he utterly repu diated. He wished only to revive the constitution, and this charge (to use the term of a friend when a man spoke nonsense), mere " fudgeography." (Great laughter.) He denounced the addressing of the proclamation " to all magistrates, officers," &c., as illegal in language, and of ferociaus authority, and quite different from the proclam ation issued in Wales, in which a complete catalogue of the crime was set forth, and ended wiih enjoining all " magis trates, sheriffs, under-sheriffs, and all other civil authori ties whatsoever to be aiding in the suppression of these outrages." In Ireland there had been no such outrages, and the persons who issued the Irish proclamation should be impeached for the abominable latitude as to the per sons to whom it was addressed. If they put such a procla mation into the Corn-Exchange Rooms, he would be the first to go into it, notwithstanding. If they sent police or soldiers to arrest them, they would submit at once. The crime would be the govern ment's—the legal vindication should be theirs—(cheers.) Mr. O'Connell then announced that he intended to have simultaneous meetings on two occasions, but he would not then fix the days. They would take place before the meeting of parliament, and would be for the adoption and signature of petitions to parliament. He concluded by impressing on the meeting the necessity of an implicit obedience to the laws, but at the same time never desist ing from legally struggling for repeal, and proposed a resolution to that effect. Captain SEAVER, of Newry, seconded it, and it was adopted. Mr. O'Connell announced the amount of the week's rent to be £1.105 3s. ld. Major NicHOl.soN :Who said it was the proclamation brought him there, was the second chairman, and the meeting seperated after giving three cheers for Mr. O'Con nell. The above we have abbreviated from the Dublin Even ing Mail of yesterday. In addition to the circumstantial account given, our Contemporary states that the moment the paper was going to press, his question of " What IA ICI Mr. O'Connell do next," has been answered by no less a personage than Mr. O'Connell himself; for his reporter who has just returned from Calvert's theatre, brouht an account that the Liberator had entered into a soltmn undertaking " TO PROSECUTE AT LAW EVERY MAN WHO SET HIS HAND TO THE PROCLAMATION PROHIBITING THE CLONTARF MEETING." Farce after Tragedy is fair and quite in O'Connell's view ; but he may shortly find other more serious matter to occupy himself with. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY EXTENSION—Anottier meeting is convened on the subject of the proposed ex tension of the Eastern Counties Railway through this town ; and as we hear that the report of that eminent en gineer, Mr. Locke, fully confirms the estimates and views of Mr. Clarke and Mr. Bruff, which have already been before the public, as to the main line to Norwich and the branch to Bury, we have every reason to hope the project may be carried out. We understand also, that as a direct line to Harwick is contemplated, the proposed branch to Shotley will not be proceeded with.—lpswich Express. DURHAM AND SUNDERLAND RAILWAY.—A meeting of this company was held on Friday week. From the fi nancial statement circulated amongst the shareholders, it appears that the revenue, from all sources, during the past year, has been £36,199 9s. 6d., and the expenditure £30,260 Bs. 7d., leaving a balance of £5,939 Os. 11d., of which £3,283 has been already paid in two dividends, in December, 1842, and June, 1813, and £653 98. 11d. ex pended in relaying a portion of the line, and other im provements, leaving £2,002 lls. of profit undivided. The receipts for coals during the year have been £24,252 16s. Bd., from passengers and parcels £5,708, and from gene ral merchandise £1,006 13s. 9d. A dividend of £lO was declared. SHEFFIELD AND MANCHESTERRAILWAY.—The yearly general meeting of this company was held at Shef field on Wednesday week. With respect to the creation of the new stock required by the company, the chairman proceeded to inform the meeting that by their new act they were invested with power to issue new shares to the amount of £450,000, and when a sufficient amount had been paid up, to borrow a further sum, to the amount of £150.000. It was therefore proposed by the directors, that 18,000 quarter shares, of £25 each, and should be issued at par, with a guarantee of 7i per cent. per annum on the amount to be called up, for a period of ten years ; that £2 per share should be paid on the Ist of November, 1843; £2 on the Ist of February, 1844 ; £2 on the Ist of May, 1844 and a further £2 (making £8 in all) on the Ist of August, 1844: the remainder was to be called in as the directors should appoint ; that the shares should be offered pro rala to those original shareholders who have paid up their old shares to the amount of £B2 10s. per share ; and that the directors should be empowered to dispose of such as were not taken up, to the public. The report stated that the works upon the whole line, with the exception of about 650 yards forming the Shef field terminus, were now in active operation, having been contracted for at prices considerably below the estimates of Mr. Locke. and in consequence of the late depression in the iron trade, and the consequent low price of rails chairs, the company had been enabled to effect a saving upon the parliamentary estimate of £50,000. The traffic receipts from the Ist of January to the 30th of June, amounted to £2,391 16s 4d., the es penses (including maintenance of way) to £6,459 5s 7d., leaving a balance in favor of the company of £2,93Z 10s. 9d.. The pas senger traffic, from the 31st of December, 1842, to the 30th of June, 1843, was £8.530 Ils 7d. and the total amount received from all kinds of traffic between: the same two periods was £8,391, 16s. 4d., leaving a balance in the banker's hands of £21,632 4s lid. SPOZ?TING INTELLIGENCE. LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER Friday Evening. Several fluctuations have transpired upon the important handicap race of Tuesday next. Since our quotations on Friday last, Whistle Binkie, Lady Sale, and Alice Haw thorn, may all be classed as hors de combat; Trueboy and Armytage's friends have both stuck firm. On Mon day Shocking Mamma and Blackdrop were each in great force; yesterday we noticed the last named backed at TO arid 12 to 1; Mr. Heseltine's lot, in ponies, at 6 to 1, and a little money put on Trueboy at f to 1.

CALLING IN THE DEFICIENT GOLD COIN. The following proclamation appeared in the Gazette of Tuesday : BY THE QUEEN.-A PROCLAMATION " VICTORIA R, " Whereas it has been represented unto us that, al though under our proclamation of the 3d day of June, 1842, a large amount of the gold coin of this realm de ficient in weight has been withdrawn from circulation, yet there is much of the gold coin of this realm deficient in weight still in circulation, contrary to the tenor of our proclamation aforesaid, and of two proclamations issued, one by his late Royal Highness George Prince Regent, in the name and on behalf of his late Majesty King George the Third, bearing date the Ist of July, 1817, and the other issued by his late Majesty King George the Fourth, bearing date the 6th of February, 1821 ; and there being reason to believe that sufficient attention is not paid to the weighing of the said gold coin, and the directions given in the Acts of Parliament now in force with respect to the cutting, breaking or defacing such pieces thereof as are found to be of less weight than those declared by the last of the aforesaid proclamations to be current, and to pass arid be received in p.iyme►t; we do by this our Royal proclamation declare and com mand, that from and after the date hereof every gold so vereign, of less weight than five pennyweights two grains and a half, and every gold half-sovereign of less weight than two pennyweights thirteen grains and one-eighth, be not allowed to be current or pass in any payment what soever. And we do hereby strictly require and command all our loving subjects, and particularly all the officers, collectors, and receivers of our revenue, strictly to con form to the orders hereby given, arid to the directions and regulations enacted and established in the several Acts of Parliament now in force, and from and after the Ist day of January next to cut, break, and deface such pieces of the said gold coin as shall be found deficient in weight. And we do hereby further ordain, declare, and com mand, that the said gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns of the weights last above described shall pass and be re cei, ed as current and lawful money of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland, every such sovereign as of the value of twenty shillings' and every such half sovereign as of the value of ten shillings, in all payments whatsoever. " Given at our Court at Winthor, this second day of October, in the year of our Lord 1843, and in the seventh year of our reign. " GOD SAVE THE QUEEN." DISASTROUS SHIPWRECKS AND Loss OF LIFE.-In formation was received at Lloyd's Coffee-house on Mon day of the loss of the undermentioned vessels at s-a : The schooner Princess Augusta of Lunenburg, during very rough weather, capsized, at about fifty miles west of Cape Sable. The crew, consisting of five persons, being excellent swimmers, succeeded in regaining the wreck, but, owing to the increasing fury of the waves, they were again washed overboard. One of the crew, a young man named James Sponagle, was the only person who was saved, and he succeeded in lashing himself to the wreck with a rope, and thus saved his life. Among the persons who perished was Sponagle's father. The schooner Mar garet, of Glocester, fortunately passed the wreck in time to save the young man, fur he was picked up by the cap tain of that vessel in a very exhausted state, having been on the wreck five days without any sustenance. The Ca ledonian, (an American ship,) during a dreadful storm on the 18th ult., at eight o'clock in the evening, whilst on her voyage from New York for Cette, endeavoured to escape the fury of the sto rm b y ta ki ng s h e l ter i n t h at port, but owing to the violence of the storm was obliged to enter by another way, namely, the small passage, where she struck and lost her rudder, by which she became un manageable, and after having drifted about for-some time, at length struck on the rocks and went to pieces. For tunately the whole of the crew were saved. The Aire, of North Shields, struck on a rock near Bridsand, coast of Norway, whilst on her passage from Archangel to Lon don, on the 7th of last month. It appears that the master and crew remained with the vessel two days and two nights, when she was got off the rock with three feet of water in her hold and in a rapidly sinking state, when the Hannah More, Captain Block barn, from Onega to Lon don, happened to be passing, and took the crew and master on board. It is reported that the master of the Aire (Mr. Kennedy) had the vessel set on fire previous to leaving, in order to remove so dangerous an impediment as she would be if left in the place she was in, it being a fre quented road for vessels. The British schooner Rebecca, Captain Sawyer, whilst on her voyage from Honduras l igr New Orleans, was wrecked on Tortngas. The vessel R'as entirely lost, the crew and cargo were taken to Key West. The Ellen, Captain Carey, from thilifax for Buctouche, was dragged from her anchors, off Marie Joseph, on the 30th 0 ; of n At n l n u s s t t erand last, a ( d u c ti r n a g w revwereyrointgrhtawnaetaetihy:era,avaandd, andwas 1 taken to Halifax in the Isabel, MEETING OF THE BIRKENHEAD OMNI SIONERS.
