TO CORRESPONDENTS We are unable to answer the question of" Agamemnon." The publication of A Spinner" would not, we conceive, advance the interests of the gentleman to whom he al ludes on the occasion referred to, and perhaps our cor respondent is desirous of defeating them. Sneezer" should have sent us his name, as well as some confirmation of his extraordinary statement, especially as we have stated elsewhere the affair is the subject of judicial inquiry. " A Lover of Music" deprecates the practice of mingling the most solemn and sacred pieces of music with others of a light and trifling character, at the recent congrega tional musical meetings at the Amphitheatre. He wishes it to be understood, however, that he is not by any means opposed to the class system of singing, though he makes such an objection. Does not our correspondent whose initials are " J. B." make some mistake at the conclusion of his letter, when he says that " shipping offices when conducted in a proper manner, as many of them doubtless are, are not beneficial to the owners and masters of vessels, but also to the seamen themselves "? We judge, from the general tone of his communication, that he is of a di rectly contrary opinion. Elm' it timpool 'gqintbarZi. TUESDAY .31ORNING, SEPT. 19, 1843 It is known most probably to many of our readers that at a meeting recently held in London, at which were present Lord Ashley, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Sir It. H. Inglis, and other noblemen and gentle men, it was determined that a respectful address should he prepared to his Grace the Chancellor, and the Rev. the Vice-Chancellor, of the University of Oxford, expressive of the concern experienced by the memorialists, occasioned by the diffusion of sen timents through the academical body calculated " to excite dissatisfaction with the principles of our Reformed Church, as the same are embodied in the Book of Common Prayer, and especially in the Thirty-nine Articles of religion." The following is a copy of the address, which we have received from authority, and to which we gladly give publicity, in the hope that some members of the Protestant public in this town will take the matter in hand, awl promote to the best of their power such an im portant movement : " To His Grace the Chancellor, the Reverend the Vice Chancellor, and the Heads of Houses of the Univer- sit)/ of Oxford , "We the undersigned lay members of the United Church of England and Ireland, beg with much respect to represent to you, the responsible governors of the Uni versity of Oxford, our deep concern on account of certain sentiments which, we have reason to fear, are obtaining an ascendancy over many in whom, as well for our own sakes as for the sake of our country, we cannot but feel a lively interest. . . . "The sentiments to which we allude have been widely diffused by means of various publications, sent forth, within the last few years, by several distinguished mem bers of the University; and the tendency of which, it has grieved us to observe, has been to excite a dissatis faction with the principles of our reformed church, as the same are e•nhodied in the book of Common Prayer, and especially in the thirty-nine Articles of religion. " Certified as we are by the past history of our country that our national piety, and no less the integrity of our -constitution and the independence of the British Crown, must be inevitably endangered, just so far as any devia tion from the Protestantism of the Church of England is permit►ed, we are alarmed to observe the symptoms of such deviation which have of late appeared, in the opinions avowed by some, whose station in the university necessa rily gives them extensive influence over the younger por tion of the academical body. " We do therefore venture to express our earnest hope that the authorities of the university will take such steps as are by the constitution of the whole body and of the several colleges open to them, for protecting the youth committed to their care from the dangerous in fluence to which we have referred, and for securing to them, for the future, only such tuition as is in strict ac cordance with the principles of the Protestant Church, and constitution of these realms. We feel convinced that not one word need be said to show the urgent necessity that exists for the presentation of such an address, as it is the opinion of most persons with whom we have conversed that such a step ought to have been taken long since. To such of our friends as feel an interest in the matter, and we hope they are many, (though the apathy of the Protestant laity is as extended as it is extraordinary,) we may say that the readiest mode for them to give expression to their wishes is to copy the address on a sheet of paper, and on the fly leaf to obtain the signatures of as many of their ac quaintance in the higher and middle classes of life, as are desirous of appending their names and pro fessions. We will willingly take charge and trans mit to the proper quarter as many of these sheets as may be left at our office prior to the end of the present month. The boasted loyalty of the Repeal party was cer tainly not very practically evidenced by the meeting of the Irish population of our town, at the Amphi theatre, on Tuesday last. In the speech from the throne on the prorogation of Parlament her Ma jesty most emphatically declared her determination to maintain inviolable that union between the two countries which it is the object of the Repeal agita tion to sunder. 'What, then, ought to have been the conduct of loyal subjects after such a declaration, made by a Queen who has certainly never as yet showed a leaning to the side of tyranny, and who has, towards the Irish people, displayed an amount of toleration a, d kindly feeling which ought to have excited gratitude and deference to her wishes ? The course of a loyal and grateful people ought to have been to cease from an agitation which the Sovereign and both Houses of Parliament believe to be danger ous to the peace of the country. The " monster " displays of physical force which for months past have threatened the public safety ought no more to have been attempted ; but, on the contrary, relying upon the known compassionate and affectionate dis position of her Majesty, her subjects in the sister country ought to have been convinced that the assumption of a hostile attitude was not necessary, but that all that was good for her would be granted to Ireland at peace, though it could not, and would not, be conceded to Ireland in rebellion. Such, however, has not been the course advised by the frantic disturbers of Ireland's peace, and the cruel and dishonest betrayers of her suffering popu lation. That popul,tion is still to he urged to the verge of outbreak, if not beyond it ; still to be plun dered by the vampires who have fastened upon them ; still to be drained of their shillings and pence by priestly robbers and interested hirelings. But his is not all. A portion of the kingdom in the attitude of rebellion was not sufficient. Ireland alone had not pockets and purses sufficient for the "itching palms" of the tribe of the O'Connells and their reverend coadjutors. To insult and defy their Sovereign—the object once of their luathesome adulation—in one quarter of 'ner dominions was not sufficient. Spoliation and mo(:kery of her rule must advance nearer to her eye—nearer to the seat of government ; and hence the loyal people of Liver pool were insulted and their feelings outraged on Tuesday by a Repeal display, with the usual foul abuse of " the hated Saxon," and the same insolent threats of physical force to carry a measure which they conscientiously accord with their Sovereign in believing would be fatal to the security and prosperity Ind of Ireland herself as well! of their country Can we for a moment doubt the objects of the party who drew together this rabble assembly—for a rabbl e assem bly i n d e ed it was ? Of what have the Irish residents of Liverpool to complain ? They come here, the great bulk of them, wretchedly poor. They come, some of them, to get beyond reach of the exactions which had made them poor. Have they met with any want of toleration ? Have we told them that they should not work around our docks and warehouses whilst Englishmen were starving ? Not at all, They have been treated as subjects of the same Monarch—not with toleration only, but with kindness; and hundreds, nay thousands, of them have prospered, and are prospering ! Why, then, urge these men into a position so distasteful to a people whose bread they eat ? The answer is obvious. The object of the leaders of the agitation was to insult and defy the loyalists of our town ; to stir up party bitterness, and, possibly, to excite out rage. And in part they have succeeded. The spirit displayed towards the meeting by a strong portion of the people of Liverpool is an unmis takeable evidence that a recurrence of similar meet ings will lead to a collision, the consequences of which need scarcely to be calculated. Rebellion and treason may rave themselves hoarse in Ireland ; and Englishmen may grieve, though they only grieve, that they are not put down. But they will not submit to be menaced and insulted at their own doors. They will not see the peace of their town and the personal safety of their fellow townsmen perilled by bands of furious ruffians, led on by meddling and insolent strangers, with patience. " The flesh will quiver where the pincers tear ;" and if legislative means, local or otherwise, are not re sorted to for the prevention of such scenes of excite ment as that of Tuesday, men will be tempted or impelled to take their prevention into their own hands. Such a course—such an issue—all loyal and peaceable subjects must deprecate ; but where is the alternative ? The anti-rent movement we have always believed would be the next of the great Agitator's weapons of offence against the Saxon loyalists of Ireland ; and it is already plain that we are not far from its extensive adoption. During the past week an in stance has occurred (which will be found amongst our Irish news), from which we may judge not only the disposition of the Irish peasantry to resort to this plan of operations, but also the mode in which it may be successfully turned to accomplish the ruin of the Protestant landowner, and the endangering of the peace of the country. It has always been supposed, by those who reso lutely shut their eyes against an accurate knowledge of the social condition of Ireland, and the objects of the repeal agitation, that little was to be feared from the withholding of rent. The farmer, it was said, will not court a struggle with the law, in which he knows that ultimately he must be the sufferer. Sol vent men, at all events, will not, to serve the pur poses of agitation, sacrifice themselves in an attempt to withhold the just rights of the owner of the soil. But, in the case before us, such was not the mode of operation. It was not the farmer himself who withheld payment. On the contrary, he was, or was understood to be, solvent and willing to pry. But agitation decreed that his landlord's rightful claim should be defeated, notwithstanding the te nant's willingness; and a turbulent mob forthwith carried off, in the open day, his stock and his crops, leaving to himself no means of payment, and his landlord nothing to distrain upon. By the exten sive adoption of such a system of outrage, it is plain that the confiscation of half the lands in Ireland may be effected ; and the inefficiency of an armed force, or a local police, to put down a similar description of outrage in Wales, ought to tell us that in case of the determination of the repeal masses in Ireland to direct the same efforts against rent, which the Welsh insurgents are directing against toll-gates, nothing short of martial law, accompanied by an army suffi cient to garrison Ireland, could withstand them. The government of Sir Robert Peel assert that they are prepared to put down any outbreak in Ire land ; and we believe them. Let the repealers of that country rise in open rebellion ; and there are loyal men enough, and troops enough, to put them down. But they will not do so This is not the kind of warfare which repealers contemplate. They know too well their real weakness to hazard such a conflict as would occur when their untrained and half-armed masses met the onset of trained and dis ciplined soldiers. But they know their strength in the description of warfare which they are now de claring. They know the ruin which it will inflict upon those whom they have been taught to hate, and the almost impos ibility of putting it down when once it has gained head. The anti-tithe con tests years ago, and the anti-poor-law struggle last year, have taught them a lesson which they will not forget, and by which England, were she wise, would take warning.. As we have remarked elsewhere, the Irish Re pealers are attempting to extend what her Majesty has well and wisely called their " pernicious agita tion" to this country. Lord Brougham, in one of his electrifiers during the late session of Parliament, said that Repeal was strictly an Irish doctrine, and could not be propagated in England. The " de monstration" of last week in this town seems to justify this opinion. It was, indeed, a failure, as complete as any well-wisher of the United Kingdom need desire. The Head Pacificator could (?) not come, and young Dan, who like other lads follows his father baud passibus (eguis, could not set on steam enough to rouse even the willing enthusiasm of those "exiles from Erin" who find it convenient to receive English wages and eat English bread, but who at the same time scorn slaving, and comfort themselves at their daily tasks with the ennobling notion that Ireland shall be a nation, able to feed all her own that are rale Irish, as soon as the Liberator shall command the hereditary bondsmen to strike the blow. Wretched dupes ! As long as the pick pocket magic of that notion proves efficient in bring ing in " the rent," the Liberator is at home, busily engaged iu disgracing himself more and more, if advance in that direction be now possible, and cer tainly in retarding for years to come the progress of all those improvements which might eventually ele. vale Ireland. We strongly recommend to the serious conside ration of the rent-payers the following extract from a speech of the Rev. Hugh M‘N elle, as reported in the Belfast Chronicle. The occasion wag the laying the foundation stone of a new institution for the deaf and dumb and blind in Belfast. The time selected was during the great agricultural meeting. After commending the infant institution as a matter of pure benevolence, and before he proceeded to en force its claims as an exercise of practical Christianity, Mr, M`Neile thus touched ;:,pon the patriotism of such works as the people of Belfast were then en gaged in— " It is by well-directed efforts at Self-improvement, at social improvement—industry developing her agr i cu lt ura l resources—enterprise enlarging her commercial con nections—and self-sacrificing liberality multiplying her Christian institutions—that Ireland is to become a nation. (Hear, hear.) I may here, my lord . ; gay how sae never can and never will be naticmall:t elevated. She is not to be raised by complaints undo , imaginary or exaggerated grievances—not by enticing the thousands of h er p opu l a . tion to neglect their proper businesses, and was t e th e i r precious time in congregating for miles from their resi dences at monster meetings—not by delusive expectations of land without rent, held out fraudulently by ora t ors . w h o know well that their predictions can never be fulfilled— that they could never take one step towards that about which they continue to declaim without inevitably plunging the country in all the , horrors of insurrection and bloodshed. (Loud applause.) It is not by hypocritical pretensions to loyalty on the part of men that have the audacity t o charge our gracious Sovereign with not per sonally. meaning what she had personally, plainly, and most constitutionally declared to her faithful subjects. (Renewed applause.) It is by suc h exhibitions as these, my lord, that Ireland is weakened — that she is kept in sulated from the pale of Christian nations—that the strength and determination of Britain are roused, not to the congenial work of inaproTing and nairoilating to her self an affectionate younger sister, but to the vigilance which is necessary for keeping a mad woman in order. (Hear, hear ) And what, my lord, are the appropriate responses to such maniac outbreaks? I am disposed to say, personally a strait-waistcoat, and politically pity and contempt ; for it would be to treat them as of too much consequence to suspend any of the civil privileges which they so grossly abuse. (Applause.) She is never to be nationally elevated by the exertions of a man whose cou rage, if he has any, is caprice, and his cowardice, calcu lation; a man whose rapacity is covetousness itself, while his generosity is but the dividing of the spoil—a new edition of Sallust's great conspirator " alieni appelens, sui profusua :" or as Tacitus has more briefly and pointedly expressed it, rapti prodiyus. (Loud cheers.) " There are words of wisdom here, and the descrip tion of the Beggarman Rebel is capital. When will the thousands of the people of Ireland learn to dis tinguish truly between their real friends and enemies, between improving landlords and avaricious dema gogues, between the ministers of the Church of Christ and the subaltern officers of the great usurper? The harvest home has during the past week made glad the hearts of thousands of the yeomanry and peasantry of Great Britain. A month of unpa-- ralelled fine weather has witnessed the ripening and securing of abundant crops ; and as the farmer lifts up his eyes to survey his corn-fields yellow in the glowing sun, and their produce filling to overflowing his barn-yards—as the thrasher whistles over his task—and the humble gleaner is winnowing in the gentle wind his little store—where do we see the evidences of a nation's thankfulness to that benefi cent Providence whose dispensations have so abun dantly rewarded its toil and fulfilled its most sanguine hopes ? As yet we see it not.. The silent uttering of praise has risen, indeed, from beneath many an humble roof ; but the nation is as yet mute. From the church throughout the land no voice has gone forth, as in early and better times. This should not be : it must not be. A Christian people and the heads of a Christian church must not permit the scoffer and the scorner to brand them as ungrateful, and forgetful in the day of their prosperity of the beneficent hand who has showered down plenty upon their heads. It is not yet, however, too late to avert this re proach and shame. May it yet be averted ! A NEW WAY TO SELL A BAD BOOK.-At a meeting last week, at the Corn Exchange, Dublin, a Mr. O'Callaghan gave notice that at the next meeting he would move " that there be ordered a number of copies of the Liberator's 4 Memoirs of Ireland, Native and Saxon,' to be distributed as re wards to such repeal wardens, in Ireland, England, and Scotland, as shall during the present repeal year have actually collected and transmitted to the association twenty pounds." Of course " the rent" suffers for this ; and a very decent speculation it will be for the publisher and the disinterested author of " Me moirs of Ireland, native and Saxon." Truly our neighbours on the other side of the Channel are a most gull.ble people ! MR. WM. EWART AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.--- The extreme attention which your " liberal" par liamentary philosopher pays to his constituents is proverbial ; and accordingly we find that Mr. Wm. Ewart, the rejected of a dozen places, has just vouchsafed to enlighten the electors of Dumfries with respect to his sayings and doings during the past session. The following notice of his visit, which we extract from the Dumfries Herald of the 14th instant, does not satisfy us that the honourable member has gained many " golden opinions," or is in much better odour amongst the community which he represents, than amongst others which have commenced by regarding him as a phoenix, and concluded by regarding him as a tomtit or a hedge-sparrow. Our contemporary says : " He comes down from London; pays a visit to his private friends in this neighbourhood ; rides round to the different burghs ; delivers duly to each his set string of ♦ague generalities about free trade and education, (which every constituent here can say now by heart,) with an account of what ministers have done and what they have not done, but what he himself has done and still intends to do; answers a harmless query or two ; makes his best bow—and makes an end of his friendly personal inter course with our burghs. which see him much seldomer than they do the man in the moon"! THE FUNDS, SATURDAY EVENING.—The final quota tion of Mexican was 331 to 4 ; the Deferred 91 to 1; Por tuguese, 44 to 4 ; Spanish 18 to 19 ; the Three per Cents. 26 to 1; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 521 to 531 ; the Five per Cents., 1011 to 4 ; Danish, 864 to 874 ; Bra zilian, 73 to 75 ; Belgian, 1041 to 1054 ; Colombian, 251 to 4; and Russian, 1144 to 115. The English stocks I ave fluctuated very little to-day, business having been limited. Consols for money closed 941 to 4; and for the account, 941; New Three-and-a- Half per Cents., 1014 to 102; India Bonds, 68s. to 70s. premium; and Exche quer-bills, Gof. to 625. premium. CHANGE OF BANKINti HOURS.—We understand that the bankers in this town, during the last week, have una nimously signed an undertaking to close their establish ments on Saturdays at one o'clock, instead of Friday, as heretofore, and that this alteration will take place imme diately. The public generally will find it an advantageous change, for ever since the acceleration of the mail, Friday has been a post day to London, and is now almost uni versally adopted for paying wages, instead of Saturday. It is said that the merchants, brokers, &c. intend holding a meeting, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the same regulation could not be extended to their business. PAYNE . % LATITUDE CALCULATING SCALE. - Our clever townsman, Mr. Payne, of the firm of Melling and Payne, opticians, instrument makers, chart sellers, &c., South Castle -street, has invented an ingenious instrument for correctly calculating the latitude at sea after an obser vation. It resembles the sliding Gunter scale, and, by an easy operation, performs at once calculations which, on paper, require fire lines of figures; and it renders an necessary the application of the rule for adding or sub tracting the declination. The true altitude and declina • Lion being given, the latitude, north or south, is instantly found by mere inspection. The instrument will, we doubt not, be valuable even to the navigator, who still adheras to the usual method of calculation—by which the declina tion is sometimes applied the wrong way, so that the ship may become endangered, or her voyage retarded—as it will furnish a test of accuracy, while its use is at once simple and pleasing. CHARGE OF HORSE STEALING.—OH Saturday, at the Police-court a man named Parkinson was placed before M r. Rushton charged with this offence. A. man of the name of Waddington said that the prisoner was at the fair at Oraaskirk that week, and bought a horse from a gentle man of the name of Nightingale, of Skipton, in York shire, for £23. The horse was to be delivered at the Castle Inn, in this town, and it was agreed that when the witness delivered him he was to receive £25, and return £l. Waddington took the animal to the inn named, and delivered it ; upon which the prisoner sent for a stamp, and gave him his promissory note for payment of the amount. The prisoner took the horse away, and the man packed up the horse cloths and left the parcel at the Castle. Prisoner and witness went together to several places and ultimately arrived at the railway station, where Parkinson gave witness 15s. to carry him home to Skipton. The latter spent this money, and being in a delemma, went to the police, and charged the prisoner with felony. Mr. Rushton after examining Waddington discharged the prisoner, as it clearly appeared that there had been a sale and delivery, and the charge could not be legally sus. tained ; but he recommended the prisoner to give np the horse. Mr. Wardle appeared for the prisoner, but did not deem it necessary to put a question to the witness, CONGREGATIONAL PSALMODY.—Last night Mr. HUT lah (the adapter of the Wilbem method of vocal tuition) delivered his announced lecture on this subject at the Amphitheatre, before a very numerous and respectable audience--assisted in his illustrations by upwards of 100 of the pupils of Mr. Crowe's upper singing school, (un der the superintendence of the latter gentleman,) and who occupied the stage. The lecturer, who has a pleasing and distinct enunciation, furnished an interesting history of psalm music from the earliest times, and of the various metrical versions with music that had appeared over a long period of years of the Psalms of David. Many of these collections were extremely faulty in the music which was to aceoinpany them, and many of the fine old melo dies had become sadly mutilated by modern bands. The pupils sung a number of psalms in proof of this position, including the tunes called " Chichester," " Cheshire," " The Old 100th," " The London New," &c. He con tended against the idea that had seemed to prevail, that in churci. music the notes should be generally of one great modulon and effect. length, which rendered the m usic tame and monotonous — expressing an opinion that ps almod y , con sistently with its high urpose, was cap of He n p oticed the variousable celebrated authors who bad con tributed to the improvement of our church music, and furnished a practical demonstration of the ancient system, now exploded, of substituting the tenor for the soprarrO in the melody itself—a remnant of the observance of the; Romanists, in whose churches the males were the sole choir. Several of the psalms sung by the pupils were beautifully pathetic, and were loudly applauded. At the conclusion they gave " St. David's' and the original " Evening Hymn." Their proficiency, after a very short practice, and without in some instances a rehearsal, showed, he remarked, how easy it would be, by grounding congregations in the elementary prib:iples of musier to improve and elevate our whole congregati;:nal psalmody. He was listened to with great attention, and .7as, w arra r Y Applauded ifl 1144 lovciul clucidgtins of his subjec t,' THE LIVERPOOL. STANDARD REPEL AGITATION IN LIVERPOOL Another of these disgraceful and disloyal demonstra tions was allowed to take place in this town on Tuesday evening last, at the Amphitheatre. The speakers con sisted of Mr. Daniel O'Connell, (not the lion, but the lion's whelp,) Mr. O'Neill Daunt, Mr. Fitzgerald, and a few others of the same caste, who uttered the usual repeal harangues to an audience consisting almost exclusively of the lowest of the low. A number of our honest Operative Protestants and Orangemen, who felt indignant that our loyal town should be disgraced (after the clearly expressed wishes of her Majesty) by such a movement, had assem bled in the building, and we believe one of them had in tended to move art amendment to the resolutions, but no sooner was his intention about to be expressed, than he was levelled to the ground by some of the miscreants who surrounded the chair, and who thus manifested the love which Popish liberals have for free discussion. The meet ing then progressed for a short time until some violent and disloyal expressions, to which the Protestant Opera tives have not been accustomed, caused some of them in front of the circle to give vent to expressions of disappro bation ; and no sooner had they done so than the savage Repealers around them commenced, in the most furious manner, kicking and striking them with bars and other Instruments, with which they were provided. Although many of the poor fellows gallantly defended themselves, they were overpowered by numbers ; but it was not until they were wounded in the most frightful manner, that a large body of police came into the circle to their rescue. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Commissioner Dowling for his active and zealous exertions in putting a stop to such proceedings, and in defending the assaulted parties. The circle was, shortly after the arrival of the police, quickly filled with the force, a large body of whom surrounded the pit to prevent a recurrence of such dis graceful scenes. DuringtVev;hole time of the affray the ehouting was continued, while ever and anon the crashing of seats and forms in the pit and circus increased the uproar, and ap peared to impart additional fury to the belligerents. Hundreds of those on and near the stage rushed for the safety of their lives to a sort of raised platform to the rear of the house, from which they had an excellent view of the aff ra y a t a distance, and out of the reach of missiles._ The reporters at this period mounted a large table on the stage with the view of catching a bird's-eye view of what was going forward, but several coal-porters having followed their example, the legs of the rickety con cern gave way, and they were hurled amongst the crowd. Almost at the same moment the legs of several arm chairs on the stage gave way beneath the heavy pressure on them, and thus the confusion, instead of diminishing, was greatly on the increase until the wounded and bleeding, who consisted exclusively of members of the anti-repeal party, were removed by the police. We have received several complaints bitterly impugning the conduct of those by whom the police were directed ; but, as the affair is now to a considerable extent the subject of judicial en quiry, we consider it better not to refer farther to them at present. As several of our Popish contemporaries have cast re proaches upon those who thus endeavoured to upset this rebellious meeting, it may be well here to record the fol lowing emphatic sentences from the Queen's speech, which, in the spirit if not in the letter, seem almost to justify the proceedings taken by the loyal subjects of Queen Victoria at this treasonable assemblage:— " I have observed with the deepest concern the perse vering efforts which are made to stir up discontent and disaffection among my subjects in Ireland, and to excite them to demand a repeal of the Legislative Unon. " It has been and ever wilt be my earnest desire to ad minister the government of that country in a spirit of strict justice and impartiality, and to cooperate with Parlia ment in effecting such amendments in the existing laws as may tend to improve the social condition and to deve lope the natural resources of Ireland. " From the deep conviction that the Legislative Union is not less essential to the attainment of these objects than to the strength and stability of the empire, it is my firm determination with your support, and under the bles sing of Divine Providence, to maintain inviolate that great bond of connexion between the two countries. " I have forborne from re(ini;iitganyadClitiOnaliowers for the counteraction of designs hostile to the concord and welfare of my dominions, as well from my unwillingness to distrust the efficacy of the ordinary law, as from my re liance on the good sense and patriotism of my people, and can the solemn declarations of Parliament in support of the Legislative Union." " I feel assured that those of my faithful subjects who have influence and authority in Ireland will discourage to the utmost of their power a system of pernicious agitation which disturbs the industry and retards the improvement of that country, and excites feelings of mutual distrust and animosity between different classes of my people." If another similar " demonstration" is attempted here, we strongly hope that some measures will be adopted by the authorities, if in their power, to prevent it, as no be nefit is likely to result therefrom to the parties themselves, and the lives of our zealous and enthusiastic Protestants are only endangered. It is well remarked by the Dublin Evening Mail, that " the police were called in to preserve the peace; but we see no sense in their being kept on service to protect the unlawful proceedings of the original offenders. We think this is a subject which ought to evoke the strong feelings of the English press; and we calculate that it will." DANctNc.—The devotees to the Terpsichorean deity will perceive that Mr. Harwood's first ball of the season is announced to take place on Wednesday week. Mr. Harwood's parties are always very agreeable, and, from the great care taken in the disposal of the tickets, the company is always extremely select. Mr. Harwood in tends introducing a novelty in respect to refreshments, which will greatly contribute to the pleasures of the even ing. .ZOOLOGICAL G ARDENS .—W C were muc h p l ease d on visiting these gardens on Friday last to see them well at tended. They were certainly very attractive ; and the spirited proprietor, catering as he does for public amuse ment, well merits all the support with which he is fa voured. On the occasion to which we refer, the enter tainments were unusually grand, and in some respects perfectly novel. By way of accompaniment to " The Capture of Amoy," was represented a Chinese festival. The tableaux introduced on the lake were very pleasing. The fireworks were perhaps never surpassed, and the band as usual was excellent. The company was very ge nerous in their plaudits, and diaper=ed at about half-pus• nine, highly •delighted with the evening's entertainments. ACCIDENTAL DEATH.—An inquest was held yester day before Mr. Curry, on view on the body of James Stanley aged 36. It appeared that on Saturday morning last deceased was employed with another man in loading a large timber carriage at the Toxteth Dock. with piles to be sent to the South Corporation yard. They had loaded five of the piles, and in getting a sixth on the top the deceased relinquished his bar too soon, and the heavy piece fell, strnek him on the legs, knocked him down, arid rolled over him. He was picked up quite insensi)le, with blood flowing from his mouth, nose, and ears; and was taken to the Southern Hospital, where he died in a few minutes, from fracture of the base of the skull.—Verdict, accidental death. DEATH FROM CARELESS PILING OF TIMBER ON THE QUAY.—Yesterday, an inquest was held before Mr. Curry, on view of the body of John Hugh Doran, a fine child of six years old. It appeared that the deceased had gone to the Brunswick Dock with his father, where the ship Miltiades was discharging timber, and where there were some piles of deals placed on the quay, one on the top of another, and, though of different w idths, to a height of 20 feet, which is stated to be the usual practice, so that they may be easily counted, but (as wa , remarked by one of the witnesses) a dangerous one. The little fellow left his father for a moment in pursuit of a butterfly, and hap pening to touch the outer row of the timber with his hand, a portion of it fell down upon hi m . H e was i mme di a t e ly extricated, and conveyed much hurt and insensible to the Southern Hospital, where he gradually declined, and died on Sunday morning. The jury returned ave diet of " accidental death " ; and, to mark their reprehension of the practice alluded to, appended a deodand of £3 on the timber, which is the property of a Mc. Granger, a mer chant in Belfast. CHARGE OF EMIIEZZLEMENT.—At the police -court yesterday, a man named Simeon. Seddon was charged with having embezzled the sum of £2 17s. 10d. John Mathews, a clerk with Messrs. Bancroft and Co., said he remembered them purchasing a quantity of earthenware jars from Mr. E. Beatty, who had them on sale, and in whose service the prisoner then was. The invoice was produced, as it was given by the prisoner, and the witness said he had paid the prisoner the amount on the 15th of September. The prisoner said he was a partner in the concern with Mr. Beatty and a Mr. Smethurst, and that a promise had been made that he should be so. Mr. Beatty, on being called, said that no partnership between them existed, or had ever been promised. Witness and Mr. Smethurst had had some conversation about a part nership between themselves, but had never, thought of taking the prisoner into the firm. It was contemplated by witness that he should act as warehouseman. All the money the prisoner had paid to witness, out of the .£2 175., was but 15s. in all.—Mr. Smethurst being sent for, also said that no partnership had ever been offered to the prisoner by either of them ; and that when witness heard that prisoner was to be the warehouseman, he de clined to join Mr. Beatty in the concern. The prisoner was committed for trial. THE MUSIC OF IRELAND.—MECHANICS' INSTITU TION.—Mr. F. W. Horncastle, of her Majesty's Chapel Royal, as will be seen in another part of our paper of to-day, delivers the first of a course of four lectures on Irish National Music, at the Mechanics' Institution, to morrow (Wednesday.) The very high terms in which the London press spoke of Mr. Horncastle on the occasion of his bringing the subject before a metropolitan audience, warrant the expectation that he will meet with a favour. able reception here. The following tribute to Mr. Horn castle's merits we quote from the Morning herald:— "The very interesting object of this gentleman is to bring before the public many beautiful Irish melodies that are very little known, even to the generality of the Irish themselves. The specimens given last night proved what might be shown by a man of musical taste and industry with respect to the melodies of most of the countries of Europe. Among the chief novelties brought forward last night were the songs of occupation—rural songs—the ploughboy's, the fisherman's, and the smith's song, eha raciefistie melodies, which were all enthusiastically en cored. Mr. Horncastle took a brief but extremely clear and comprehensive review of the structure of Irish melo dies, the musical tone of the Irish mind,and the fondness of that people for soag. There was throughout the vocal portion of the entertainment a great deal of modest merit, which was rewarded with no fewer than eight encores. We wish Mr. Horncastle the success which the unas. suming but exzelleut character of his eutertertaiument prlcrits,", I WOOLTON FLORAL, HORTICULTURAL, AND AGRICULTURAL MEETING. On Tuesday last the autumn meeting took place at 'Wootton, for the show of dahlias, fruits, vegetables, &c., and was numerously and fashionably attended. The tent was handsomely decorated for the occasion, though we venture to suggest that the increasing interest and popu larity of the meetings of this select locality require larger accommodation, and a more attractive site somewhere removed from the populous streets of the village,—both of which, we believe. would be easily attainable. We are inclined to think, too, that if there were but one, in place of two shows in the year, and exertions were made to have it on a somewhat larger and more comprehensive scale, it would be found to be still more effective and pleasing : but this is a mere matter of opinion, in which we may be possibly mistaken. The present was, however, one of the best, if not the very best exhibition we have yet witnessed. Amongst the decorations was a beautiful crown of dahlias, on a pedestal of evergreens, (by, we learnt, Mr. Wain wright, the treasurer, and not for competition,) which was deservedly admired. The show of fruits, in particu lar, was splendid and tempting ; consisting of every vari ety, indigenous and exotic—grapes (almost the size of plums), peaches, apricots, nectarines, pears, apples, &c., the product of the well-managed gardens attached to the seats in the neighbourhood. The dahlias were, on the whole, very fine, some of the blooms being as rich and perfect as a judge could desire. There was also a fine collection of plants, and flowers in pots and baskets; the whole, including the fruit, sending forth a delicious aroma. The vegetables were also of the primest growth and ex cellence; particularly the peas, cabbages, French beans, and celery. Of the last we are informed that eight sticks weighed upwards of 901 b. The competition for cottagers' prizes was comparatively circumscribed, but the articles produced were highly creditable to the growers. There was a military band in attendance, playing choice airs throughout the period of the show; and in the evening the labouring classes were admitted at a reduced price. In the following list of the prizes which were awarded, we omit, for the sake of brevity, the title of " Esquire," which belongs to the principal competitors. We also put g. for gardener DAHLIAS, &c.—Best stand of 24 blooms, T. Rawson (g. Green) ; 2d, Mrs. Preston. Best of 18. W. Rotheram (g. Manly); 2d, R. W. Preston (g. Hurst) • 3d, T. Raw son.

ROYAL AMPIIITFIEATRE.—The performances at this theatre continue to attract most numerous audinences, and Signor Hervio Nano, the celebrated gnome fly, has been nightly hailed with the most enthusiastic plaudits. He displays dexterity and agility almost incredible. In consequence of the recent appeal of the National Society, two sermons were preached on Sunday the 27th ult., by the Rev. Dr. Byrth and the Rev. John Tobin, in the parish of Wallasey. No collections•were made at the time, but the rev. gentlemen have since waited on the members of their respective congregations, and their united application has been met by the liberal contribu tion of nearly £260. FINE DRAWING OF THE " HELEN MACGREGOR " IRON STEAM -SHIP:—We have before us a beautiful litho graphic portrait, in the finest style of the art, of this splendid vessel, of which we recently furnished an ac count. It is taken from a drawing by Mr. T. B. Horner, whose former success as a marine draftsman we-have had occasion to notice in terms of high commendation. In this instance be-has, we think, surpassed all his former efforts. The likeness of the ship is excellent ; and there is a degree of spirit and life iu the whole picture, and more particularly in the sea—generally the most difficult de partment in such productions—which is rarely attained, and is indicative of no little genius in the artist. The day is represented as stormy, and the ship, head to wind, dashing through the foaming billows, with her topmasts lowered, appears to be in rapid locomotion—no easy achievement. A semblance of her, before the wind, and much diminished in the distance, is seen in the " back ground,." if we may so designate the remoter waters. A boat, with a reefed lug sail, is conspicuous in the fore ground, on the top of a wave ; and, if we were inclined to be critical, we should almost say that her hull is placed in rather too perilous a position. This, however, is ..a matter of taste ; and we repeat that the picture is,_as_a whole, most pleasing and effective. Below there is_a faint-line longitudinal section of the vessel; also Lactliaeluionsi power, &c.
