Mr. Ward had said that the English and Scotch nations would never consent to tax themselves for the maintenance of the Roman Catholic clergy. Did he suppose those two na tions would ever consent to the abolition of the Prot stant Church ? The language now employed was strangely at variance with the assurances given when the emancipation was carried. There was then, on the subject of the Church, a distinct understanding and compact, which it would be a plain breach of faith in the government now to violate. The debate was then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY Lord NVIIAIINCLIFFE moved, that this bill be read a third time. Mr. TRELAWNEY (on the adjourned debate being re sumed) contended that the right of the church to its pro perty was not indefeasible, and condemned the applica tion of a coercive policy to Ireland. Sir R. INGLIS maintained the title of the church to its endowments. The mover, whatever else might be im puted to him, could not be accused of having deceived the house; he had taken away from Lord John Russell and his partisans all excuse for voting in favour of the motion. He had broadly proposed to strip from the church in Ireland all the revenue it possessed except £7o.ooo—that is, to take away 7-Bths, or 17s. 6d. in the pound; and yet had gravely added, that this was no un worthy compromise ! He had left the church with scarce a rag to cover her nakedness, and then, putting a halter round her neck, had handed the other end of the rope to her bitterest enemies. The manner of the hon. member had, indeed, been courteous; but the bowstring was not less fatal because it might be made of silk. He admitted that in some respects the Church of Ireland had failed of her duty ; in particular, the Scriptures ought to have been translated in the language of the people. But he denied the validity of the arguments deduced from former abuses of that church, and showed the improvements of its mi nistry in recent times. Mr. Ward, however, grounded his reasoning mainly upon numbers, and was prepared to establish the creed of Bramah or of Fo, if it were the creed of the majority. From that principle he dissented ; for he was persuaded that it was just as much our public as our private duty to teach and advance what we believed to be the true religion. The question, moreover, was not what religion we should establish ; the motion went not to establish a religion, but to destroy one already esta blished ; and that, too, by more than any ordinary law; by a compact of two independent legislatures. The mul titudes, therefore, who were collected to destroy that es tablishment were not entitled to plead that they were seeking only the repeal of a statute. When emancipation was conceded, it was upon the assurances, given by the leading Catholics themselves, that it would not be employed to weaken, but would rather avail to fortify, the Protes tant church. He would maintain that church, because he believed its doctrine to be the truth, because it was a doctrine established by the treaty of two kingdoms, be cause he valued it for its works of charity, and because he regarded it as the great bond of connexion between England and Ireland. Lord LISTOWEL declaimed against the Irish Church settlement as contrary to principle and common sense; and pronounced it to be a just retribution that Ireland should have become a source of danger to England. Lord BERNARD asked h ow l ong a ma j or ity, w h o f oun d it thus intolerable to acquiesce in a Protestant Church, would submit to a Protestant monarchy? He contended that the Church now established in Ireland was the Church of the ancient Irish people, and went into historical cita tionsin support of this proposition, showing that though the Bishops in that country had not acceded to the refor mation, it had been adopted by the Chiefs and the laity, who had given their full adhesion to HENRY VIII. But he would uphold the Protestant church on other and high er grounds —on the grounds of its own superiority, and the duty of extending its faith among the people. He denied the value of arguments deduced from by-gone abuses of the church, and bore his testimony to the merits of the Protestant clergy of the present time. Mr. Coen RANE said, that as the arguments for the mo tion were only what they had been on former occasions, he trusted the division against them would be as decisive as heretofore. He was glad to find that the Government took a tone of determination against such a proposal. He did not sea that the concessions already made had improved our position. The expediency of paying the Roman Cath olic clergy was a very different question from the fitness of stripping the Protestant church. The mover did not ask to take the whole; but after the arguments which had been used about the past, he wished to know what security there was that if more were given now, the rest would not shortly be demanded. He exhorted the Government to act with that strength which was b e tt er th an th e f orce of ma jorities—with strength of mind. Mr. V. STUART desired the house to consider the church question not as an isolated one, but as one connec ted with all the other Irish questions. This was not an affair of religion, but an affair of money ; and they who put it on religious grounds showed little confidence in their JOHNSTONE hailed the bill as a great boon to own church, when they treated it as incapable of support.. the whole population of Scotland. ing itself without those vast pecuniary means.

Potts, for for; CHURCH OF SCOTLAND BENEFICES BILL The second reading of the Church of Scotland Benefices Bill was moved by Sir J. GRAHAM in a speech of great length, in. which he entered into an historical view of the question, from the time of t , ,e reformation down to the present time. In answer to the objection, that the bill was " too late," he said that the government could not interfere while the Church of Scotland was in opposition to the law of the land ; but, that objection having been removed by the acts of the assembly, the present measure was now introduced in the hope of securing and building up a church which he believed still retained its place in the hearts and affections of the people. Mr. WALLACE opposed the second reading. He con sidered that the bill being brought in in the month of July, so late in the session, was as great an affront to the peo ple of Scotland as the act of Anne, which had been passed with such breathless baste. The bill, instead of removing, would tend to create, doubts and litigation hitherto un known. There was no petition in favour of it; and. if it passed, the majority of the inhabitants of Scotland would secede from the church. He therefore moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. B. COCHRANE opposed the bill. Mr. RUTHERFORD also expressed his surprise at the bill being brought in at this late period of the session. Formerly Scotland was blessed with a church which had the entire confidence of the nation ; now they were to be cursed with a church which commanded the confidence of none. He lauded the conduct of the ministers who had seceded, and felt proud of his countrymen when he con sidered that for conscience sake 200 licentiates of the church had renounced whar, would have been the highest object of their ambition. If the bill were to be brought forward at all, it should have been introduced before the secession ; but, in the present temper of the people, it would only aggravate the evils, and drive more of its mem bers from the established church. Sir W. FOLLETT differed from the hon. gentleman as to the propriety of introducing the bill before the seces sion. No g,vernment could sanction or satisfy the claims of Lie non-intrusionists, as they sought the total abroga tion of patronage, and even taught that the church courts could set at defiance the acts of the legislature. The present measure, whose object was the removal of doubts, was ac ceptable to the general assembly, and those adhering to the established church. Lord J. RUSSELL complained of the House of Com mons enacting a declaratory law contrary to the opinion of L',rd Cottenham and the highest legal authorities in the land. According to this bill, a clergyman might now preach, any body might object, but there was no power in any one to come to a decision. This bill, then, by its enacting part, gave a new and dangerous power to the church. It gave a judgment to the church courts on the objection of two or three persons, against the opinions of all the rest of the congregation. Sir G. CLERK believed the practical effect of the bill would be to induce the patrons to use a greater degree of ease in the selection of their candidates. No petitions had been presented against the bill, nor had any presbytery expressed an opinion adverse to it. Mr. F. MAULE thought this was not a measure calcu lated to aid the church of Scotland, but to further the cause of that which he called the church, by creating differences in the church established by law. The main *biection to the bill was that it gave power to the church which ought not to be placed in their hands ; and it was that objection which led those who had seceded to refuse it in 1840. This bill would only prevent those from seceding whom it was not worth while for the church to retain, or for the seceders to accept. Mr. A. CAMPBELL with great warmth opposed the bill as most unconstitutional, and most unworthy of a conser- votive goy Mr. H. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TuEsDA-y MO RTM AI N Lord J.

Lord JORN MANNERS replied, consenting to wave a .. . . division. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY motion was thereupon withdrawn LUSH CHURCH The house held a day sitting, again meeting at twelve o'clock. Mr. WARD then brought on his motion for an address to the Queen, affirming the Church of Ireland to be among the most prominent grievances of her people, and pledg ing the house to co-operate with her Majesty in a new settlement of the property of that church. The clear re venue of the Protestant Church was about £552,753, being at the rate of about 15s. a head for each communi cant of the Establishment ; while the Regium donum to the Presbyterians made provision only at the rate of about ls. a head; and for the Roman Catholics there was not a farthing. The existence of such a church was regarded by the Irish not only as an injury, but as an insult. Being men, they must be governed, and they could not be go verned thus. Yon could not thus govern 8,000,000 of people, living in the midst of you, and knit together by the bond of a common justice. Hei would propose alto gether to break up the present establishment of bishops and archbishops in Ireland, and would look only to the working clergy. He would legalize the titles of the Roman Catholic Bishops, and restore the churches which had been anciently taken from Roman Catholic congregations. Some thought that the best course would be to transfer the whole establishment to the Roman Catholics. That might have been done at the Union ; nay, as late as 1825, the priests were willing to accept remuneration from the state; but this willingness had ceased. Some thought a provision should be made for the Catholic clergy from the consolidated fund ; but the objection to that was simply that it would be impossible; the English and Scotch peo ple would never consent to it. As to the funds of the church, he would place them, subject to existing interests, in the hands of commissioners, and distribute them among the members of the Establishment, the Presby terians, and the Roman Catholics, according to the num- The Hackney Carriages Bill went through committee : the Highway Rates Bill was road a third time and Some discussion took place on committees on the Thea tres Regulations Bill, but the clauses were agreed to with slight alterations. hers of each denomination.

Mr. BLEWITT gave notice that he should next session introduce a bill to prevent the sovereign of any foreign state from sitting and voting in the House of Lords. The house then formed itself into a committee of sup ply, and Sir G. CLERK proposed a sum of £1,281,211 to be granted as compensation to the holders of the opium delivered up to the Chinese in 1838. A long debate followed, which occupied the remainder of the night, and on a division the resolution was carried by a majority of 47. The Admiralty Lands Bill was read a third time and passed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-SATURDAY The report on the Liverpool Fire Prevention Bill was brought up and agreed to. The report of the Hackney and Stage Carriages Bill was brought up and agreed to. The Linntation of Actions Bill and the Mandamus Ap peal Bills were read a third time and passed. The report on the Theatres Regulations Bill was brought on and agreed to, and the bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. Sir J. GRAHAM moved, that the house resolve itself into committee on the Customs Bill, upon which Mr. BANKES complained that no statement had been made as THE LIVERPO to the contemplated effect of the whole measure, of the increased power given to the heads of the Customs de partment of administering oaths, and that the clause re lating to the treaty with America went too far. Mr. GLADSTONE said, that, in bills such as this, that formed a part of a general system, it was necessary that an exposition given of its objects must be in general terms. Tne intentions of the bill were as numerous as the clauses of it. He suggested that the discussion should be postponed till they went into committee. Mr. BANKES acquiesced and the house went into com mittee. Clause to 9 inclusive were agreed to. Clause 10, re lating to watches, were struck out. The clauses to 13 were agreed to. On clause 14, providing that manufactures of Gibraltar, Malta, and Heligoland, manufactured of materials of foreign origin, be charged as foreign, being read, Mr. tkff . GIBSON objected to the clause, and said he would divide the committee upon it. After a short conversation, the house divided, when the clause was carried by a majority of 87 to 14. With reference to clause 25, which had been dwelt upon by Mr. Bankes, _ _ Mr. GLADSTONE entered into a very long explanation. Mr. BANKES said the right hon. gentleman had not satisfied him on his main point. He should therefore move the insertion of words which would prevent an im proper introduction of agricultural produce under the 3d article of the treaty. Sir HOBERT PEEL said it was not quite fair that ho nourable members who had concurred in thanking with Ministers and Lord Ashburton, with regard to this treaty, should now, when called upon to give effect to its pro visions, turn round and condemn it. Nothing could be more clear than the third article. Mr. G. B .► ~xss said he was willing to fulfil the treaty literally, but the clause went beyond the meaning of the article it was intended to give effect to. After some further discussion, and an explanation from Sir R. PEEL, :Mr. G.

The house re sumed, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday. THE COURT. On Thursday her Majesty and Prince Albert, accom panied by the Prince of Wales, and Princess Royal, and their illustrious visitors and their respective suites, pro ceeded in the state carriage of the Great Western Railway Company to Windsor. Her Majesty arrived at Slough from Paddington in exactly 27 minutes. Mr. Russell, M.P.,Mr. Guppy, and Mr. Jones, (three of the direc tors f the company,) and Saunders, the secretary, were in attendance upon her Majesty to Slough. The Queen was escorted to Windsor by a detachment of the Ist Re giment of Life Guards, under the command of Lieutenant Lowther. The most extensive preparations were made at the Slough station for the reception and accommoda tion of her Majesty and her illustrious visitors and suites, under the superintendence of Mr. Howell. The platform (from which the public were entirely excluded) was covered with a splendid crimson carpet leading to the royal apart ment, through which her M ajesty proceeded to her carriage. It is not expected that the stay of the Court at Windsor Castle will be prolonged beyond this day, at which period it fs now arranged for her Majesty and his Royal High. ness Prince Albert, with their royal and illustrious visi tors, to proceed to Buckingham Palace for three or four days, where her Majesty, it is believed, will give another party before the departure of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Augusta, and their Serene High nesses the Duke Ferdinand and the Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburgh Uotha, for the Continent. The return of the Court to Windsor is expected to take place about the following Saturday, the 12th instant. Her Majesty will then remain at the Castle until the prorogation of parlia ment. Sir Augustus D'Este has, it is said, presented a peti tion to the Queen, claiming to be entitled to the titles of his father, the late Duke of Sussex.—Standard. The Duke of Wellington has caused cards to be issued for a splendid banquet on Saturday next, the 12th inst., to meet the King of Hanover, for which a most distin guished circle have received invitations. LORD MELBOURNE AND THE COURT.—It is said that her Majesty and Prince Albert, previous to their departure for Windsor, presented Viscount Melbourne with their portraits, superbly painted, three-quarter lengths. MARRIAGE IN HIGH' LIFE.—On Tuesday, at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, Mr. George Chet wynd, eldest son of Sir G. Chetwynd, Bart., led to the altar Lady Charlotte Hill, eldest dauehter of the Marquis and Marci , ioness of Downshire. The Hon. and Rev. Dr. Gerald Valerian Wellesly officiated at the ceremony. PRESENT OF A WELSH HARP TO THE PRINCE OF WALES.—On Thursday evening, by her Majesty's com mand, the Rev. Mr. Price, vicar of Cymdu, so well known for his taste, talents, and learning, as one of the most eminent antiquaries of Wales, attended at Buckingham Palace with the beautiful Welsh ti iple harp made expressly for his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, by Mr. Bas sett Jones of Cardiff, and which national tribute of loyalty her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert were graciously pleased to permit the Prince of Wales to accept. His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael Paulo witsch, only brother to his Imperial M.jesty the Emperor of Russia and to the Queen of the Netherlands, is expec ted to arrive in town at the close of the ensuing week, on a short visit to this country. The Grand Duke and suite are now staying at the Baths of Kissengen, in Bavaria, whence his Royal Highness is expected to make a brief sojourn at the Hague, en route to England. THE KING OF HANOVICR.—The King of Hanover, we understand, intends giving a grand dinner to the principal nobility and gentry previous to his majesty leaving this country for his dominions. We have heard that up wards of 400 cards of invitation have been issued, without any distinction whatever to political parties. The leading families of both whigs and tories have been invited to the dinner. The banquet will be held at St. James's Palace. —Standard. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Glocester visited his Majesty the King of Hanover, on Wednesday. The King, attended by the Baron . de Reitzenstein, honoured the Earl of Shaftesbury with his company at dinner. His Majesty afterwards honoured the Duke of Wellington with his company at the grand concert given by lqs Grace at Apsley House. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Lady Augusta So merset, also honoured the noble Duke with theit company in the evening. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Wirtemberg, with General Baron Maucler and Count Zeppelin, attaches to the person of His Royal Highness, left Mivart's Hotel at ten o'clock on Saturday morning for Blackwall, to em bark for Antwerp, from whence the Crown Prince repairs direct to Stutgardt. At the same time their Serene High nesses Prince Peter and Princess of Oldenburg and family, embarked on board the same steamer, after a compara tively brief sojourn in this country. THE VACANT GARTER.—The names of several dig- tinguished noblemen have been circulated at the clubs for the Garter at the disposal of the Premier by the death of the Duke of Dorset • but we have reason to believe the honour has not yet been awarded to any personage. This is the sixth Garter that has been in the gift of Sir Robert Peel since he came into office—namely, those held by the Earl of Westmorland, Marquis Weliesley, Marquis of Hertford, Duke of Dorset, Duke of Norfolk, and Duke of Cleveland. The Earl and Countess of Wilton and a large party pro.. ceed to the Mediterranean, in the course of the present month, where they are expected to remain on a cruise, in his lordship's splendid yacht, until the end of September. THE FORTHCOMING COMEDY.—The authoress of the forthcoming comedy at the Haymarket is, according to generally received rumour, Lady Wortley, daughter of the Duke of Rutland, and who is married to the second son of Lord Wharncliffe, President of the Council. A ROYAL BRIDE.—The De"bats gives the following description of the Princesse de Joinville:—" Her Royal Highness is tall and elegantly formed. Her forehead is high and commanding, and her eves remarkably beautiful and expressive, by turns of a noble gravity or radiant vivacity. To present her full portrait in writing is not possible, but a just idea of it may be formed by those who knew the Princess Marie, Duchess Alexandre of Wurtem berg ; for the countenance possesses t h e sa m e mild dig nity-, the head has the same pure and fascinating li nes which, alas ! exist no more , but in the ineffaceable recol lections she has left behind, but of Which the Princesse de Joinville has brought into her new family a livi ng resemblance, as if it were th e original still smiling in her youth and happiness." A CONJUGAL D I SAGREEMENT. —BERLIN.---The un fortunate differences between Prince Albert of Pru ss i a and his consort , Prin cess Marianna of the Netherlands, sister of the reigning King of Holland, form the general topic of conversation. Domestic disagreements of th e mos t serious nature rendered it expedient that there should be a separation, though not a formal divorce. With this view the Princess was recommended to go to reside with her father, the ex-King of the Netherlands, who was then at the Ilague, and it was determined that she should not return to Berlin until after Prince Albert's departure for his journey into the East. which was ex pected to occupy at least two years. The Princess did not return to Berlin until after the departure of the Prince, her husband, whose travels in Syria and Palestine, and visit to the Court of the Sultan, have recently been re ported in the journals. It would seem , h o wever, that these travels and receptions have not afforded the illus trious Prince so much gratification as might have been expected, for it is understood that he is preparing to re turn to Berlin. No sooner was the intended return of the Prince made known here, than preparations for the departure of the Princess were immediately set on foot. It is the intention of her Royal Highness to proceed with her two children to Italy.—Brussels paper. THE ARISTOCRACY AND THEIR SERVANTS.—The Court Gazette says,—" The stewards and housekeepers of the nobility often make large fortunes at the expense of their masters. We have known 20, and even 50, per cent. offered to them by tradesmen, as a remuneration for getting the custom of their employers ! How can this be made up except by plunder ? We know of entertainment s given below stairs, in some of the squares, more cos tl y (if not more select) than those given in the drawi ng - room. The lady of a Prime Minister (whom we shall not name) told us that the whole of the aristocracy were the slaves of their servants. I cannot offer you any refreshm ents, ' said she, but I dare say there are hot pheasants and champagne in the steward's room.' " )L STANDARD. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NI WS PROMOTION S The Rev.

KING'S COLLEGE.—On Friday last, James Jeffreys, Bumpszead, was elected a fellow of this society. On Tuesday last, at Eton, the eight senior King's scholars were superannuated ; amongst whom was Carter, whose turn, from his position in the college, it was to succeed to a fellowship at King's College. No vacancy, however, having been declared to have taken place at King's when the college clock struck the hour of two on Tuesday forenoon, the senior King's scholar at Eton loses his fellowship. The Bishop of Hereford, acting for the Bishop of Lichfield, in his late tour in Staffordshire, confirmed 10,478 persons. The British Bible Society has just presented to the Royal Library a collection of bibles in 82 different lan guages, consisting of 119 volumes. Jesus Colleg-, Oxford, was entered on Tuesday last by means of skeleton keys, and robbed of plate valued at nearly £3OO. The parish church of St. Michael, Lichfield. was re opened on Thursday week, after having been closed for the past twelve months. The whole of the nave and aisles have been partly rebuilt and wholly restored. The election of a chaplain to the London Female Orphan Asylum took place on Thursday, when the Rev. R. S. Cattley was elected by a majority of 119 over his oppo nent, the Rev. W. Curling. CHRIST CHURCH, TURNHAM-GREEN.—On Thursday week the ceremony of the consecration of the newly erected church for the parish of Chiswick, called Christ Church, Turnhnrn-green, was performed by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London. JUVENILE BAZAAR.—The gross amount raised by the bazaar held last week at Ashton-under-Lyne, for the Church Sunday Schools, including the donations by se veral gentlemen, amounts to the handsome sum of £156, enabling the committee to realize at least £145. On Monday, Stamford was visited by a terrific storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by torrents of rain. Amongst the casualties, the lofty spire of All Saints Church has sustained some damage, the extent of which has not yet been ascertained. Happily no lives have been lost. CONSECRATION.—On Saturday week, St. John's Church, Hawarden, was consecrated by the Lord Bishop of Bangor. After the special service, the Chancellor read the service of consecration, which was signed by the bishop. The Rev. H. P. Foulkes, curate of Buckley, read prayers assisted by the clergy of Hawarden. The Rev. Dr. Hook then ascended the pulpit, and after saving a portion of the " Bidding" prayer, preached from Roman xiv. 5, 6. REVENUES OF THE SEES OF ST. ASAPH AND BAN GOR.—According to the recent parliamentary return, we find that the Bishop of St. Asaph states the gross amount of the yearly revenues of that see as follows :—ln 1832, £7,396 19s 8d ; 1833, £6,907 13s 10d ; 1834, £6.135 8s 3d ; 1835, £7,203 lOs 10d. The gross amounts of deductions for payments and allowances in each year were :-1832, £1,383 lls 2d ; 1833, £1,047 is 7d ; 1834, £1,253 5s 5d ; and 1835, £9Bl 19s. The Bishop of Bangor makes the following return of the gross amount of the yearly revenues of that sea :- 1830 £7,157 13 7 I 1833....C5.473 2 1 5,978 16 5 I 1834 6,431 1 9 I_ 1835 5,581 4 5 5,535 3 4 But the deductions for yearly payments and allowances reduce these to the following net income :- 1830 .... £3,431 12 0 I 1833 .... £3,493 19 3 1831 .... 4,127 4 101 1834.... 3,557 3 6 1832.... 4,234 11 0 1835.... 3,558 19 3 ETON COLLEGE.—There are more pupils on the esta blishment than at any former period ; a gradual increase having taken place every year since 1836, when the num ber on the books was 444. The number now is 713—viz., 661 in the upper, and 52 in the lower school. In 1745 the aggregate number in the two schools was only 248. Since the foundation, in 1441, 2,257 have succeeded to King's. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND THE IRISH CHURCH. —The Morning Post thus reports the speech of the noble Duke, which he made in noticing the petition of Lord Oranmore, praying that a portion of the property of the Protestant Church of Ireland should be granted to the Roman Catholic priests. " The Duke of Wellington arose, and throwing himself into an attitude of defiance, and raising his voice to a pitch that echoed through the house, thus gave expression to his feelings :—" My Lords, I shall not enter upon the question of the irregularity of presenting such a petition, nor do I intend to enter into the discussion of the important question to which it re lates. I wish only to warn your Lordships of one cir cumstance attending it. The prayer of this petition goes to nothing more nor less than this—whether your Lord ships are to repeal or to maintain the laws by which the Reformation has been established in this United Kingdom. That is the question for your Lordships' consideration in this petition from a Peer of Ireland, though not a mem ber of this house; that is the question which I beg your Lordships to consider well, and to decide whether or not you will listen to arguments in support of such a propo sition." Mr. Makgill Crichton has published a letter, giving an account of his progress in Ireland on behalf of the funds of the Free Church. We extract the following passage : —" The subscriptions already made at Belfast, added to those obtained at Newry, Ballymena, Coleraine, Newton, Limavady, and Londonderry, and promised at Armagh and Cookstown, which we visited on the following week, amount, when joined to the Dublin subscription, to nearly £6OOO, and if the appeal be carried on with energy, the total to be transmitted from Ulster will probably not be under £9000." IRE AN D RE PEAL ASSOCIATION The usual weekly meeting of the above association was held on Tuesday last in the Corn Exchange, Dublin. Mr. Ray read a letter signed " Anne Kerman," of the Strawberry Beds, inclosing £1 14s. She said that as the strawberries were out of season she had preserved some political strawberries, which she presented to the associa tion to send to his Grace the Duke of Wellington to sup port his shattered constitution, and relieve him from the nervousness consequent upon having been proposed as a repeal warden by Mr. Steele. (Laughter.) Mr, O'Connell received a letter from the Rev. Mr. Tyrrell, of Carlow, denying that he had authorised any one to propose him a member of the association, or that he bad written any letter to the association on the sub ject. When his (Mr. O'Connell's) son was nominated for the representation of Carlow, he refused to identify him self with the agitation for repeal, though he gave his sup port. He has lived long enough to know the horrors of a civil war ; and as he thought that repeal could be carried by a civil war only, if even by that, he would not join the association. It was his (Mr. O'Connell's) duty to move that the letter be inserted upon the minutes. The person who committed the forgery sent an excellent good pound note along with the letter, and he wished he would'conti nue to joke in that fashion. He had every respect for the rev. gentleman, but he differed with him, as he was sure they would carry repeal without a civil war, and he begged he would console himself with this certainty. Mr. O'Connell handed in £BO from Ballinrobe, and £6O from Cappoquin, including the subscription of Sir Richard Musgrave, who was proposed as a member, and admitted with acclamation. He then proposed Dr. Gray and Counsellor Davis as volunteers. (Cheers.) He next read a letter from Mr. Wellesley Ashe, late Captain of the 93d Highlanders, enclosing £5, with hearfelt wishes for the cause of right, justice, and liberty. Mr. Ray read a letter from Mrs. Elizabeth Yourell, in which she stated that she had sold her coat to be enrolled as a repealer; and she would advise her countrywomen, situated as she was at present, to sell their coats, not to buy bayonets, as Lane Fox wanted, but to be enrolled as repealers. Mr. Davis proposed that the association earnestly re commend the people's bands to use Irish airs and no others, with the single exception of God save the Queen! Mr. O'Connell seconded the motion, which was adopt ed, and then announced that the repeal rent for the week amounted to £2,001 10s. Sid. Mr. Mathews, the first chairman, announced that the necessary preparations had been made for the repeal meet ing on the hill of Tara, on the 15th of the present month, and that Irish harps. manufactured by Irishmen, and played on by men with Irish hearts, were prepared for the occasion. (Cheers.) Mr. O'Connell said that the harp which bad long been mute in Tara's Hall would be heard again on Tara's Hill. The meeting then adjourned. EXORBITANT TAXATION. — The county cess is so high as sixteen shillings the acre in Corkaguiney, Kerry—half the rent ! The owners of houses rented by the constabulary throughout Ireland, are recalled upon by government to secure the lower windows with strong iron bars. The statement which has gone the round of several papers of a seizure of cannon and powder destined for Caher Castle, the seat of Lord Glengall, is utterly ground less. A poor young woman in Belfast, who crawls along on crutches, is said to be between 7 and 8 feet in height. She is much debilitated from her overgrowth, and though only 17 years of age, weighs 25 stone. At two o'clock, on Sunday last, the house of William Murdock, of Ballintue, was entered by five men (two of whom were armed with pistols), who robbed it of five stand of arms and three bayonets.— Westmeath Guardian. A party of police who had gone to enforce the collection of poor rate at Kilchrist, near Loughrea, met with resist ance from the people, and were in a short time completely repulsed.—Limerick Paper. A poor woman, wife of a man named Sullivan, a sawyer, residing at St. John's square, Limerick, was on Friday safely delivered of four children—one male, and three females, who, with the mother, are all doing well. STAMP DUTY—IRISH MAttniAGEs.—According to a clause in a bill now before the House of Commons, the duty on marriage certificates in Ireland is repealed ; and also the stamp duty upon leases for property of small value, under certain crcurnstances. " Out of forty cases which stand for trial at the present assizes," said Judge Crompton, the other day, to the jury of Kilkenny, in his charge, " no less than 21 are charged with murder, or conspiracy to murder! Mote than one half of the entire number ! ' Mr. Fayle, of Enniscorthy, is still alive, but his disso lution is momentarily expected. The perpetrators of the horrid deed have not been apprehended, and not the slightest clue has even yet been afforded which might tend to the apprehension of the party or parties concerned in this savage transaction.— Waterford Mail. A paragraph has been making the tour of some of the newspapers, to the effect that the army in Ireland amounts to above 34,000 men. This statement is based in error. Our force in that country, including all arms and ranks, does not at present exceed 20,000 men.—United Service Gazette. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—A. fishing-boat from Malin-well port, having been out at Innistrahull island on Friday night week, was returning horn e on Saturday morning, and when a short distance from the island, she was struck by a sea and upset, and melancholy to relate, five of the poor men who were in her found a watery grave.—Londonderry Sentinel. DEMAND FOR REDUCTION OF RENTS IN IRELAND.— A very numerous meeting of the landholders and occupi ers of five baronies of the King's County took place at Raheen, on the 2-Ith of July. The landholders attended in great numbers, snd resolutions were passed demanding a large reduction of rents, proportioned to the diminished prices of agricultural produce. One of the villains concerned in the attempted assas sination of Mr. Shee has been found guilty, and the trial discloses a fearful feature in the iniquitous confederation against human life—the existence " of a Black Sheep office." " Black sheep," it will be remembered, was the term which Mr. O'Connell instructed his followers to apply to persons who voted for the Tories or in other re spects rendered themselves popularly obnoxious, and the office is a place where the aforesaid followers can be sup plied with arms and money for the work of assassination ! Such is the machinery by which the war against the land lords is carried on. MURDER.—A man of the name of Daniel Sullivan was murdered last Sunday on the high road from Fethard to Killinaul. Some time since he was in partnership with two men of the name of Hely • but a dispute having arisen between them, Sullivan withdrew, after which the Helys, r man named Timothy Murphy. and a process-server named John Dooley, went to Sullivan's, and under the pretence of having a civil bill decree, broke into his house and carried off three cows and two heifers. Sullivan swore an information against the parties, and Murphy and Daly were arrested, who are to take their trials at the present assizes for house breaking and robbery. On Saturday last Sullivan was seen at market at Fethard, with a lot of lambs, in company with a man named Lucy, and with whom he had latterly connected himself in the purchase of cattle, and who travelled with him into the county of Tipperary. Sullivan having sold the lambs was on his way to this city to attend the assizes, to prosecute, when he was murdered.—Cork Constitution. CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS IN GREAT BRITAIN AND, IRELAND IN THE YEARS 1841-2. ‘Ve take the following totals from a recent parliamentary return : England and Wales Scotland Ireland . 1841. 20,280 2,688 9,286 1812. 22,733 3,176 9,874 Total United Kingdom .. 32,254 .... 35,783 This exhibits an increase of convictions for criminal offences in the whole United Kingdom, of 3,529 in last year, as compared with 1841. But the most remarkable fact in connection with these numbers is the relative proportions they bear to the population—namely, England and Wales, 15,911,646 ; Scotland, 2,620,207 ; and Ireland, 8,175,238. It will be seen that, in Scotland, the most educated peo ple, the proportion of convicted criminals to the popula tion is considerably smaller than in the other parts of the United Kingdom. The proportion is the largest in Eng land and Wales ; but the calendars in almost every county show that a considerable number of Irish, and very few Scotch, are included in the convictions. EXPLOSION AT A POWDER MILL.-011 Saturday, an explosion of Gunpowder, attended with the loss of two lives, occurred at the Ballincollig milis, worked by Sir John Tobin and Sons, of Liverpool, and so great was the concussion, that houses in the western outskirts of the city were shaken, and the noise was distinctly heard in every part of this city, although the casualty took place at six miles distance. The names of the sufferers are John Carroll and Jeremiah Long, labourers in the mills. Not the least clue, it appears, can be given as to the cause of the unfortunate catastrophe. The quantity of powder which had ignited amounted to twenty-one barrels, con taining 100 lb each. The mill technically called the gran ulating mill, has been shivered to atoms by the explosion, the fragments spreading for a considerable distance around. The bodies, too, of the unfortunate sufferers were riven asunder, their limbs scattered, and as black as coal, pre senting a fearful spectacle. When the powder ignited, masses of timber, machinery, slates, &c., were forced to an enormous height, followed by thick, dark volumes of smoke, which were seen several miles distant. Not the least blame is attributed to the proprietors or the persons in charge.—Cork Constitution. IRISH NOTION OF REPEAL.—The letter of a corre spondent of the John Bull, who writes from Mayo, in Ireland, communicates the following racy aneLdotes, showing what is understood by repeal among the enlight ened followers of O'Connell :—" On my way home this day, I was overtaken by a lad with whom I entered into conversation, during which he informed me he had just paid a penny for repale.' Pray what is repale?' asked I. Why, the priest tells us she will do us a mighty de 1 of good, and will bring the union back to the county,' answered the boy. And pray what is the union ? ' Fegs ! they say it is a power of coarse linen !." (N.B. Union' is the name given here to a species of cloth made of flax and cotton.)—An acquaintance of mine received a somewhat similar answer a few days back from one of his tenants, who had informed him his ' reverence' had told his flock at mass, that, in return for the shilling he was endeavouring to extract from each of them, they would, with other good things, get their parliament back. Pray what is the parliament ? ' asked my acquaintance. ' Troth, they say it is a mighty big book, which the Sas senachs stole iron.?
