VERY great improvements having been effected in this Rectified Spirit, it can with confidence be recom mended as possessing qualities decidedly superior to any manufactured. It combines the advantages of cleanliness and economy, with perfect freedom from smoke or smell ; and, whilst it imparts a most brilliant light, one lam] , being equal to at least twelve wax candles, the wick does not require to be cut more than once a week.

PROTECTION FROM ACCIDENTAL OR INCEN DIARY FIRES. London and Birmingham Railwav Office, Euston Station, Bth April, 1844. I am instructed to send the enclosed report of Li the results of the public experiments on your Fire resisting Boxes and Safes, at the Camden Station of this Company, which vas authorised by the Directors to be made under the immediate superintendence of their own officers; and to congratulate you on the complete success of the very severe trials by which you have allowed your adniirableinvention to be tested. I am, sirs, your obedient servant, R. CREED, Secretary. Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son, Liverpool. _Patents for England, Ireland, and Scotland, sealed 1840. MILNERS' NEW PATENT FIRE-RESISTING DEED, PLATE, AND CASH BOXES, BOOK SAFFS, AND GNPOWDER MAGAZINES, &c., &c., • WARRANTED TO BEAR MORE H EAT, WITHOUT INJURY TO THEIR CONTENTS, THAN ANY OTHERS OF EQUAL DIMENSIONS. Of 14 graduating sizes, suitable for all purposes, from 30s. to £l4 each ; for additional inner chamber, doubling the thickness, and trebling the resisting power 50 per cent, more each size. The Chambers within Milners' Boxes and Safes con tain the best Chemical non-conductor of heat, and Tubes imbedded therein filled with alkaline fluid, which escapes into the non-conductor whenever Fire reaches the Box and heats it to the boiling point, steaming the chambers and contents, neutralizing in the latent heat of the steam 1000 degrees of heat, keeping down the temperature, and preventing ignition. From every pint of fluid in the Chamber is slowly dis charged into and condensed in the contents of the Box upwards of 200 Gallons of Steam, of more certain avail in saving the Papers than tons of water thrown into a burning building with the same object. The advantage of this principle, embracing " the exclu sive use of any material evolving moisture on the applica tion of heat," over every other description of Box or Safe, is the advantage that Water has over every thing else in quenching Fire. An Iron Safe of one inch in solid thickness exposed to red heat will char papers within it in fifteen minutes, and remain a burning prison for them for hours afterwards. Milner's Fire-resisting Principle has been investigated, tested in Red Heat from One to Twelve Hours, in various thickness, from 1 to 6 inches, and approved by the au thorities and scientific and practical men, in the leading towns of the three kingdoms.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. GENERAL POST-OFFICE, October, 1844. A S it is not safe to transmit Letters containing Coin or La. Articles of Jewellery though the Post, Parties hay ing occasion to remit small stuns in Cash, are recom mended to make use of the Money Order Ojice, where they will incur no hazard. Money Orders, Er Sums not exceeding Five Pounds, are granted and paid by every P.st Town in the United Kingdom, and by the Chief Office in St. Martin's-le-Grand, the three Branch Offices, Charing-cross, Cavendish-street, and the Borough, and also by the principal Receiving Houses within the Twelve Mile Circle round the General Post-Office. Those who may desire to remit Batik Notes or Drafts payable to Bearer, may Register the Letter on payment of a Fee of ls. in addition to the postage; in this case the .acest course will be to cut such Notes, &c. in half, send ing each half, if possible, by two different Posts. In the case of Bank Notes or Bank Post Bills being sent, the Numbers, Dates, and Amounts should be carefully taken. Money Orders for any sum not exceeding £2 may he obtained for 3d. each ; and for any sum over £2 and not exceeding £5 for 6d. With the great convenience thus afforded for transmit ting small Sums at so low a charge, and the power notv given of Registering Letters containing value, it is hoped the Public will no longer forward Letters of value, except in one or other of these methods. TO HEADS OF FAMILIES, &c. F REEMAN'S SWEET ESSENCE OF SENNA. (The most agreeable Purgative.) Containing in a highly concentra'ed form all the active principle of senna entirely deprived of its nauseating and griping properties, and rendered so peculiarly pleasant to the taste, that children will tike it with a positive relish. The extraordinary merit of this medicinal novelty has obtained for it the distinguished patronage of Her Ma jesty—the Queen Dowager—tile following Physicians to Her Majesty and the Queen Dowager, Sir C. M. Clark. Bart., M.D., Dr. Ferguson, and Dr. Locock— Sir David Davies, and Dr. Holland—by many Princes, Noble-, and Families of distinction, by most of the eminent Physicians and Medical Men in London, who have been for several years, and now are, in the daily habit of prescribing and recommending it as the best and safest domestic aperient for females and children—the aged and delicate—the nervous—the bilious—the habitually costive, and those suffering from piles, worms, sickness, or head ache, and as being particularly adapted for ladies during pregnancy, and children during dentition. Impelled by a sense of duty, confident of conferring a great national benefit, the proprietor proudly submits it to the patronage of a discerning public. assured that a single trial will convince every one of its inestimable value as a pleasant, safe, and efficacious domestic aperient, the moderate price of which places it within the reach of every family. .Sold by all respectable Vendors of Medicine, in Bottles at Is., 2s. 6d., 55., 12s. 6d.. and 20s. each. CAUTION—The great celebrity this medicine has attain ed, having induced many druggists in Scotland and Eng land to put up for sale, base and worthless imitation, to the serious injury of the original Preparation.

Sir,—l have much pleasure in beating testimony to your unique and elegant preparation of Senna, which contains in a highly concentrated form, the active princi ple of that Valuable Domestic Aperient. I have taken it out with metwice to India, and having found it to preserve the active principle of Senna quite free from fermentation, I consider it admirably adapted for persons travelling abroad: and am quite sure, that no person who knew its value, would ever take a voyage without a supply of your Sweet Essence of Senna.

CORONATION OF THE KING OF SWEDEN.—A letter from Stockholm of the Ist, gives the following account of the coronation in that city :—" The coronation of their majesties was celebrated on the 20th ult. in the cathe— dral. The morning having been rainy, the cortege 'could not proceed to the church in the order agreed on. Their majesties, not wishing to delay the ceremony, went there in their carriages, and were greeted with loud expressions of joy. After the divine service, the coronation took. place. When it was concluded, the prince royal and his, brothers, the Dukes of Upland and Ostrogothic, took the (laths of fidelity to the king, who embraced them both. The act of` homage of the states general also offered an imposing spectacle; and after they had taken the oath the vault of the church rung with cries of " Long live King. Oscar !" The weather having cleared up, their, majesties returned to the palace on foot, in the order prescribed by the ceremonial. An immense crowd was assembled along_ the passage, and the windows, roofs, and stands erected for the occasion,, were filled with spectators, who threw. flowers in the line of the procession, and greeted the king. with loud shouts of welcome and approbation. The queen. doWager could, not, on account of her mourning, be- present at the august ceremony; but on the return of their majesties to the palace, they proceeded to her apazt— ment to pay their respects. The Duke de Dalecarlie and the Princess Eugine were present at the coronation in a! tribune apart. The diplomatic corps and the foreign:a-a of distinction, on leaving the church, proceeded to the inner court of the palace, to present their homage to their majesties on their passage. The king, the same day, gase a grand dinner of 600 covers. In the evening the city was illuminated, and their majesties. accompanied by. the ycunger branches of the royal family, went through the streets in an open carriage, amidst loud acclamations. The next day the king received, in separate audiences,.tbe ministers of England and Denmark, who presenteddet.- ters of congratulation from their respective sovereigns on his coronation. In the evening a fire burst out in the northern faubourg, but was put down after one house had been consumed. The king proceeded to the scene on horseback." The Hanover Gazette announces, that a treaty of com merce had been concluded between the governments of Hanover and Denmark. The Belgian Government has declined ratifying the recent public sale of the British Queen, upon the ground that the sum named—viz., 170,500 f., was far below the value of that splendid steam.vessel. In the midst of a bull•figbt at Roa, near 'Valladolid, on the 19th ult., a platform containing 1000. persons gave way, and above 200 were more or less insured. Three were killed, eight mortally wounded, and twenty severely so. A Berlin journal gives an account of an extensive rob bery at Stockholm on the 27th ult. The offices of the General insurance Company were broken into, and pri vate bills to the amount of 300,000 rix-dollari, and bank notes to the amount of 117,000 rix dollars, carried off. The most remarkable excavator in modern times, in any part of the world, has been the Pasha ~ f Egypt. The Mahmoodie canal alone is twenty-three leagu , s in length ; no fewer that 313,000 men having been occupied for the space of ten months ‘ in its construction. For some years past, the number a workmen employed in hydraulic works in Egypt has exceeded 350,000.—Bombay Times. THE AMERICAN ICE TRADE.—The amount of ice shipped from Boston last year, is stated in the American papers to have been 55,000 tons. The cost to the shippers is 12,430 dollars, or something less than Is. per ton; but it is delivered on shipboard generally at 2-55 dollars per lon. The average receipts for sales is 3,575,000 dollars, leaving a difference of 3,562,570 dollars, from which the freight is to be deducted : thus a princely sum remains to go to the profit account. One firm freighted with it 101 vessels last season. It is regularly shipped to Bombay, Canton, Madras, Calcutta, Mauritius, and all ports of consequence in warm climates. One cargo was recently shipped to the East Indies, and exchanged, pound for cotton, and the latter taken to Liverpool, thus realizing a profitable voyage.—American paper. THE LATE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE KING of PRvsslA.—Tschech, who attempted to assassinate the ling of Prussia, and who was sentenced to suffer death upon the rack, is not only to escape that punish ment, as we were sure be would, hut his life is to be alto gether spared. Strange to say, however, there seems to )e a difficulty in carraing this humane intention into ffect, bec.ruse the culprit himself will not ask for the boon ! " You may do what you like with my body," is his language, " bnt I defy you to bead the resolution of my soul." On the other hand, the King of Prussia has declared that " he will never suffer blood to be shed for an offence which was exclusively personal against himself and that, rather than put him to death he would grant him a free pardon." His Majesty's Ministers having urged that such a proceeding might encourage other at tempts upon his life, he n plied, " Well, then, if we can not find any other means of disposing of this man, I shall be compelled to do what Bernadotte did ten years ago." The case here referred to by his Majesty was that of a person who had been condemned to death for a libel upon the King of Sweden, and whom it was wished to pardon, but who, like rschech, refused to ask for his life. In the end, Bernadotte granted a general amnesty to all political prisoners, which of course included this individual. It is not often that mercy is put to so much trouble. declares for a Federal Parliament. here are the words of the retrogading demagogue:—" For my own part, 1 will own, that since I have come to contemplate the spe cific differences,, such as they are, between ' simple repeal. and ' federalism,' I do at present fee} 'a preference fo , the federative plan, as tending more to the utility of Ire land,.and lathe maintenance of the connection with Eng land, than the mode of simple repeal. But I must eithen deliberately propose, or deliberately adopt • from some other person, a plan of a Federative Union, before I bird 'myself to the opinion which I now. entertain." The week's rent amounted to about £390. BALLOON A3CENT, AND FORTUNATE,: ESCAPE.—On Monday last, Mr. Hampton, the aermsaut, made his se— cond ascent in Dublin, from the Pbrtubello Gardens., which resulted in the total destructionoof his balloon. The fineness of the day attracted a large and fashionable corn-.. pant'.. The handsome balloon beingjuflated, appeared impatient to ascend. Some small pilot balloons were sent up, and at half-past four o'clock the signal gun was fired, and Mr. Hampton took his seat in the basket, and the, machine sublimely rose from the earlb amidst loud cheers.. There was scarcely a breath of wind, and it attainedlan altitude of about a mile. It passed towards.the Custom.. house, and from the gas that escaped on opening, the valves, partly collapsed. On approaching . Ballybeugh Bridge, seeing the railway. near him, and fearing to east his grappling iron, lest a Wain . might pass, he resolved to; desernd immediately, and opening the,•valves,,move,.d ra-- pidly downwards. The car end balloon had almost touched the earth, when a ground breeze suddenly rose and chafted it towards some houses. Ile then.observed• the chimney,. of a house close by to be on fire,and called out to the rnen. below, who had already caught held•of, the ropes. to pull towards a neighbouring field, but befOre they;could do so,, the baloon came in contact with the roof of the house, and also with the flame of the chimney.; : a fearful explosion took place, and the immense globe wits soon a dense vo-. lume of fire and smoke. The doors. and windows of the neighbouring houses were much, injured. Mr. Itacopton threw himself out of the car just before the flarnes.neached it, and being caught by some per „sons before coming to the ground, was not hurt. The balloon, valued at Z5OO, was completely destroyed in the space of a mintoe,,apd it was his sole property. It was of silk, and 40. feet in diameter, by 60 feet in height. A subscription was shout to be set on foot in his behalf. THE COURT 4^ FASHIONABLE WORLD. DEPARTURE O 1;• LOUIS PHILIPPE. The unfavourable c'etnge in the weather compelled the royal party to alter completely the arrangements respect ing the departure of the King of the French, which had been previously made. At twelve o'clock oiaMonday the carriages of her Majesty and of the King of the French, and of their immediate suite, were drawn up to the door of the great entrance of Windsor Castle, and in a few mi nutes after, having taken leave of the Duchess of Kent,. who accompanied them down to the bottom of the great staircase, their Majesties, the Duke de Montpensier, Prince Albert, and the Royal miles, took their departure. The royal cortege proceeded to Farnborough by the same route as that by which they came to Windsor, and there were parties of Lancers and Guards to escort them to the station. At Farnborough every preparation had been made to receive their Majesties. The station was reached at a quarter to two; when, during the interval that elapsed while the train was being finally prepared for starting - , the royal party remained in the reception room, At a few minutes to two o'clock they came out, and entered the state carriage amidst !he loud cheers of the people. It was still raining heavily when the train started, at five minute; to two o'clock. The trAinreached Gosport at thirty-five minutes past three. Extensive and magnificent preparations had been made at Portsmouth for the reception of the royal party, but the pouring rain and heavy wind spoiled everything. There was great doubt and confusion for some time. It appeared Itat a very heavy sea was running at the harbour's mouth, and from the state of the weather—a gale blowing—it was apprehended that if the King of the French attempted to cross to Treport, he might not he able to land there, as the coast is most unfavourable for embarkation in stormy weather. Eventually it was decided that a special train should be sent from London to Dover, to order a packet to be in readiness to carry his Majesty across to Calais, from whence he was to post on to Treport. Misfortune still waited on the King, for the railway station in London was in flames on their Majesties' arrival there. The con fusion was terrible. At last his Majesty got off again from London at a quarter past eleven o'clock . A most lamentable calamity occurred at Portsmouth on Monday evening. As the royal artillerymen were reloading one of the guns, the charge went off, and blew one of them to pieces, and the other was horribly mutilated, and has since died. At a quarter-past seven the King of the French and the Duke de Montpensier took leave of the Queen and the Prince, anti proceeded, accompanied by M. Guizot, Count de St. Aulaire, and suite, by railway, arriving at Nine Elms about half after ten, where his Majesty was met by Sir James Graham with one of the royal carriages, in which they proceeded immediately to the Dover Railway, ascorted by a troop of the Life Guards, and drove into , he station, whilst the whole of that noble building was in flames. ......... At midnight on Monday his Majesty and suite left the New Cross Station, on the Dover line of railway, and arrived at Dover at past two on Tuesday morning, and , tayed during the night at the Ship Hotel, where apart ments were prepared for the royal visitors at almost an hours notice. At sunrise a salute from the battery. an ;rouneed to the inhabitants the, netexpe,ted visit of his, Majesty ; and at half-past eight o'clock the Mayor and council were all summoned, when an address was agreed to and presented to the King. After breakfast his Ma jesty left the Hotel to embark, the soldiery and police :Wog the avenue as he passed to the quay. It was raining hard at the time, and the wind was blowing in heavy ,rusts. The piers were, however, densely crowded, as llso every available spot where a sight of his Majesty could be obtained, and a vast number of carriages were on the road. His Majesty's appearance in h;s conspicu • sus white coat was greeted with the liveliest enthusiasm. His Majesty descended the steps of the Hotel, and walked to the Crosswal Pier with his hat off, bowing repeatedly to the hearty greetings of the crowd. The dreadful weather, the rain falling in torrents, made his &mdescension the more appreciated, and his Majesty was enthusiastically cheered as he proceeded to embark on the French steamer Le Nord. He was escorted to the vessel by the Mayor and Town-Clerk. Having embarked he immediately ascended the poop, and repeatedly bowed to the cordial arm enthusiastic farewells which he received. During the embarkation the band of the 52d Regiment played the National Anthem. Le Nord, on steaming out of the harbour, was accompanied by the Ariel, and the Swallow, as an escort to the offing, when these steamers returned. Shortly afterwards the Princess Alice, con taining the servants and baggage, followed in the wake of Le Nord to Calais, and the crowd then dispersed to talk over this very unexpected visit. Immediately on the de parture of the King of the French and suite for Dover. (from Portsmouth) Her Majesty and Prince Albert embarked at the Clarence-yard in the barge of the royal yacht, attended in their respective barges by the Lords of the Admiralty, and numerous other distin guished officers, and proceeded on board the Victoria and Albert, where her Majesty was received by Lord Adol phus Fitzclareoce. Her Majesty and her illustrious con sort shpt on board the royal yacht in the harbour. All ceremony was dispensed with, and her Majesty and the prince Consort retired to rest at an early hour. In the morning the weather overhead was very fine, the suit shone forth with splendour. At an early hour the ships in harbour were dressed in their gayest colours, and sa luted as the royal yacht was signalled to be under weigh ru the harbour. At ten minutes past eight, the royal yacht passed the Platform battery, which saluted as the yacht passed. The scene at Spithead as the royal yacht neared the fleet there anchored was never to be erased from the memory of those who beheld it. The French ships fired first their main-deck starboard side guns, and then the spar deck larboard side, fore and aft ; then re versed the order, and fired main-deck larboard side, and spar-deck starboard side. The Victoria and Albert was steered at about twenty minutes past eight alongside the Gomer, when her M,,j, sty went on board that steamer to breakfast. The royal standard was removed thereupon front tne Victoria and Albert, arid hoisted on board the Gomer, when another salute in broadsides acknowledged the honour. Her Majesty was received on the quarter deck by Vice-Admiral La Susse, who conducted her Ma jesty and her illustrious consort to the state apartments used by his Majesty Louis Philip. The royal party re mained on board about an hour, and then re-entered her Majesty's yacht for Cowes. The Vu'can steam-sloop and the Eclair were the only Government vessels which followed her Majesty's yacht on leaving Spithead. The royal yacht did not stem), round the 'Wight, as expected, but on leaving Spithead Steered direct to Cowes, where at about half-past ten, her Majesty disembarked and proceeded to Osborne House. At about half-past twelve o'clock the Lightning steam-vessel returned into harbour, with the Lords of the Admiralty on board, their flag flying from the mast head. The King of the French and suite landed at Calais at half-past two on the same day, in excellent health and spirits, and immediately set off for the Chateau d'Eu, which they reached at night. The Gazette of Tuesday announces that Lr,rd Ellenbo rougla has been created Earl of Ellenborough in the county of Cumberland, and Viscount Southam, of Southam, in the county of Gloucester. The jewellery worn by the Marquis of Westminster on Friday, was of the most superb character. In the centre of his lordship's badge was the celebrated Arcot diamond, valued at 15,000 guineas. His lordship's sword also dis played the massive diamond, one of the largest in the world, weighing 96 carats, and valued at . - E20,000. It is well known that Lord Francis Egerton, on the death of his father, the late Duke of Sutherland, succeeded to the princely possessions of the Duke of Bridgewater. It is in contemplation to revive the honours, and it is con fidently anticipated that Lord Francis Egerton will shortly be summoned to the house of peels, by the style and title of Duke of Bridgewater.—Globe. EXTRAORDINARY HONOUR. — Once, in his travels in the United States, King Louis Philippe acted as a surgeon to an Indian chief, whom he bled in his wigwam, with such success that the tribe bestowed a high, though not very covetable honour, upon the white stranger.—" It was customary in this tribe, that the whole family, however illustrious, should sleep upon one spacious mat, the rela tions being all ranged according to proximity, rank, age, and other discriminating circumstences. In acknowledge ment of the services rendered by the duke to the grand father of the chief's family, he was permitted to pass the night upon the family mat between the grandmother and grand aunt, the highest honour ever conferred by that tribe upon an individual of any age or colour." KING LOUIS PHILIPPE AT CHELTENHAM.—SOME thirty years ago his Majesty the King of the French, then Duke d'Orleans, was, with the other members of the royal family of France, a resident of Cheltenham, occu pying the present Cambray Pavilion. At that time his royal highness ent-red familiarly into tile soci e ty o f the place, visiting and being visited .by many of our then re sidents, who were uniformly received by him with marked courtesy, when, as the invited guests of Louis 7C.V.H. they appeared at the weekly breakfasts given by the exiled monarch, to those whom he honoured with his 'friendship and acquaintance. The Duke d'Orleans also , ipatronised most of the publia amusements of the d a y, ;and was, with his uncle, the Count. d'Ariois, a frequent attendaet at the bazaar sale., when. these took place at ithe-old Assembly Rooms—the premises now occupied as Messrs. Huniphria's ironmongery stores, in the High ,street, but thirty years ago, one.of the fashionable loun ges of Cheltenham. We well remember being there one day when their royal highnesses were present, and attnacted considerable notice;: the peculiarity of their costume—the little cocked-bat and long queu generally , arresting the immediate attentionof strangers. On this ' occesisen, a pair of plated telescope candlesticks were put up for sale—the fluent auctioneer - expatiating, according to custom, upon their excellent quality and manufacture. There were several bidders—the Count d'Artois was one;. and, out-bidding his opportenrs, the lot was knocked down to him for ten shillings!: Handing over payment in the silver tokens of those days, his royal highness received: his purchase from the porter, and putting a candlestick in.eseh pocket, walked leisurely away, apparently weal pleased with his b ‘rgain.—Olteltenhans Looker On. ATFABILITY OF Louts PILILIFFE.—Whenthe addressof' the London Corporation was presented toLouis Philippe, his , Majesty entered into familiar conversation with the mem, hers of the deputation. Speaking to the Lord Mayor his, Majesty said, " I well remember your father, Mr. Mag.- nay ; 1 had the happiness of seeing him in the Egyptian, Hall of the Mansion-houee,.when he filled the high situa tion which you now hold: I remember him with much • • pleasure, and the hospitable manner in which he received: me. The Lord Mayor, inacknowledging the compliments, with which his Majesty honoured him, said he hoped his. Majesty would be graciously pleased to visit the citizens of London, either at the Mansion-house, or at the Guild-_ hall, before his departure. " I assure you," replied the King, " that if I had time, etiquette should not interfere • wth my hearty wish, but my time is limited. I should wish very much to visit Guild-hall. the Mansion-house, and Fishmongers' HAL" His Majesty then (still' ad dressing the Lord Mayor) said he hoped his lordsh!p would do him the honour to, sit for his portrait, which he desired to hang among his pictures at Versailles, to commemorate this, to him, most interesting occaliion. The Lord. Mayor having expressed his gratification at bearing his- Majesty express himself scbcordially about places of such.favaurite resort to his fellow citizens, the King said, laughing,— " Why Magnay, liknow all the Wards in the City of Lon don as well as ypa know them." The King then recog nized the Recorder. and shaking hands with him said, "Ab ! Mr. Law, lam happy to see you. I well knew Mr. Thomas Law, an uncle of yours, in America. He was married to-a grand-daughter of General Washington., Some amusement was caused by a mistake which the King made when Sir C. S. Hunter was presented to him. " Ah, Sir Peter Laurie," cried his Majesty, " I am happy to see you, I have heard and read a good deal about you." He afterwards observed to Sir Claudiae Hunter that he remembered to have seen him abroad. On Sir Peter Laurie being presented, his Majesty; said, " Ah ! Sir Pe ter, you. are an old acquaintance of mine. I remember dining, with you at Fishmongers' Hall many years azo. It is a great pleasure to me to meet you again." Immedi ately afterwards, his Majesty observing Mr. Moon, the mover of the address, took him by the hand and said, " Ah, Mr. Moon, 1 know you perfectly. I have heard of your encouragement of the arts, and I have derived great pleasure from the examination of your admirable engra vings. I find too that you have an excellent way of mak ing speeches." The King probably alluded to the obser vations made by Mr. Moon in proposing the address in the Court of Common Council on Thursday week. DR. WOLFF.

There had been a pig be longing to a Mrs. Coffey bitten by a rabid dog: the pig was killed, and a cat in the house ate part of the entrails; the cat a short time after bit Mrs. Coffey and her daugh ter—the melancholy result was the death of both last week from the dire malady.— Cork Constitu. ion. TRADE OF DUBLIN.—The quarter ended on the 10th instant - gives a customs receipt in this port for £274,734, against £263,759 received in the similar period of 1843 ; showing an excess in favour of the current year of £10,875. The year ended the 18th October, 1843, the receipts in Dublin amounted to £938.991. the year ended on Wednesday week gives a receipt of £1,037,769 ; being £98,778 of an increase in favour of this year. SINKING OF THE DUBLIN CUSTOM-HOUSE QUAY. — Tuesday evening, at the Custom-house Quay, and imme diately in frcnt of the Customhouse, a portion of the quay, about 130 yards, suddenly sunk from its Usual level, in some places, upwards of seven, and in others fifteen feet in depth. The breadth of the breach varies from flee to seven yards, and what is very strange, the outer wall next the river ktpt its place, sill:jog a little, but not slip. ping from its original position. Fears are entertained for the safety of the Custom-house whioli is built on piles. HEROIC CONDUCT. — On Thursday e v ening last, the largest of the bears in the Dublin 'Zoological Gardens managed to get from the pit into the outer cage before the keeper had made his escape from the latterplace. The hear seized him by the leg and threw him down, and would, in all probability, have torn him to pieces, but that one of the gardeners, a stout fellow, named Power, flew to his rescue,_ and, with a well - aimed blow of an iron -bar, struck the bear on the head with such force that the animal died shortly after. REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—At the usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Assoliation, on Monday last, a letter was read from Mr. O'Connell. He labours to t how through. out that in seeking for the repeal, the Roman Catholics desire no ecclesiastical ascendancy, and that the Irish Protestants ought not to retain any jealousy or apprehen sion on that score. He has abandoned the intention, if he had any, of holding any more " monster" meetings, upon the ground that it would appear to be an insulting braggadocio to revive them. Speaking of the Irish peo ple, he gives us a vision of what we may expect after his death. He says :—" Whilst we, leading agitators; and particularly whilst I. happen to live, they will never seek to carry the repeal by forcible or violent means. But the man is worse than mad who does not perceive in the con duct of the Irish people that determination to establish self-government, which, when the present leaders, and I amongst them are removed, may well produce separation, but can never tolerate the continuance of the Union." — Towards the close of the leiter, be heaves repeal over board, and, submitting to the views of Mr. Gray:Porter, UNIVE ftSITY 1j- CLERICAL NEWS.

A girl, who bad been her only attendant for some time, said she was constantly drinking spirits, and would send out for a quarters perhaps a dozen times a day ! The coroner observed, that the husband should have put her under restraint, as the unfortunate woman was Lvi dently deranged. The verdict was, " Died from exces sive drinking of ardent spirits." COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—Another colliery but happily without loss of life, took place at C, near Newcastle, yesterday week, where the urn workings are extensive.
