SAVIOUR'S CHURCH, LEEDS.--In consequence of some perversions to Rome in this church, the vicar of that church, and the Rev. R. Ward, and the curate (Rev.

A number of members of the cong,re "- • gation in consequence addressed the Bishop, expressing their love and respect for the vicar, and assuring his lord ship that Mr. Ward never by his teaching endeavoured to induce them to join the Roman Communion, or to shake their confidence in the Church of England.

Accounts have come from the colony of Van Dieman:s Laud, viz., to September 7, 1846. It is singular that in sere shou crops of Van Dieman's Land were plentiful, and those of Australia, where pastoral pursuits are most attended to, being always inadequate to meet the current consump tion, as a corollary, supplies are drawn from every avail able source. With abundant crops, however, the Van Dieman's Land growers were striving to withhold their grain, and keep up the market, to such an extent, indeed, that it was mooted as a serious question whether it would not be desirable to bespeak supplies from America, even at 80s. per quarter, the price in Hobart Town being al ready 70s.

The Limerick Ckronicle states that emigrant 'vessels are to sail from that port so early as the 13th of February.

Their importations are either to be given away under judicious and experienced direction, or to be sold at a low rate to the relief committees. SICIBpEREEN.—The following is a passage of a letter ad dressed to Mr. Blake, of Cork, by Dr. Crowley, of Skib bereen, dated January 22nd :—" Deaths here are daily in creasing; Dr. Donovan and I have just returned from the village of South Reen, where we had to bury a body our selves that was eleven days dead; and where do you think? in a kitchen garden. We had to dig the ground, or rather the hole, ourselves ; no one would come near us, the smell was so intolerable. We are half dead from the work lately imposed on us It is now, as I write, eleven o'clock at night,. and I have not as yet dined." SOUND POTATOES !—A - . correspondent informs us (Lon donderry Standard,) that, in the parish of Lower Ba ' dopey, a great number of the farmers, whose names he mentions, have large pits of potatoes, the quality of which is, in every respect,,equal to that of former years. We hahe seen (says the Leinster Express) a sample of pota toes belonging to a gentleman not twenty miles from Newbridge ; they were in the highest state of preserva tion. We have been informed that this is the case with many a gentleman and farmer in the county Kildare, and that strong hopes may he entertained that we have not seen the " last of the potatoes." I.3.l.intAi ON THE IRISH COAST.—OR Sunday week, Limerick and the neighbourhood were.visited by a violent storm. Fortunately little damage was done upon land ; but the shipping in the river suffered severely by the visi tation. The brig Glencoe, of Liverpool, Captain Bower, which discbarged wheat and flour at that pirt, and was outward bound in ballast for Alexandria, dragged from her anchors at Scattery-roads, and was forced ashore at Kilrush side, with loss of mainmast, foretopmast, rigging, and rudder unshipped. An Italian brig and barque, also at Scattery, were dashed ashore at Isleorne, between Moneypoint and Kilrush, and, it is feared, will become a total loss. The Friendship, at Bideford, for Liverpool, ballast, is ashore, with loss of keel. The members of the Relief Committee at Thurles have sent a memorial to the Lord Lieutenant, in which they pray him inimediately to open depflts of corn, and sell it at such prices as would leave the merchant a fair and rea sonable .profit, instead of that far too large one of 60 to 70 per cent., which he now heartlessly takes. They state that there are 7,000 persons in that town in various degrees of destitution. By far the greater part of the landed pro prietors are non-resident, and consequently give little aid in money, and still less in employment or moral influence. While they continually hear of Indian corn brought to the different ports at £lO to £ll a ton, they cannot buy one ton of it for less than £lB, besides the expense of carriage; and the poorhouse now contains 200 more persons than its roper complement. THE MINISTERIAL MEAsuREs.--The plans for the immediate and permanent relief of Ireland, propounded oy ministers, have raised the drooping spirits of the citi zens of Dublin, and already the stock and share markets have experienced the good effects. There is only one point upon which there appears to be any complaint— that of the grant of £50,000 for the purchase of seed for the poorer landholders. The popular comparison of the " drop of water in a bucket" is applied to it • and many hold that the gr an t o f thi s, or three times a ' larger sum, would be fraught with evil consequences, as every poor tenant would he led to expect a share of it. The editor of the Packet calculates that, taking the average of the baro nies at 90,000 acres, the proposed grant would not, at.*' of oat. E .ices , as, supply more than seed fora sing'e acre in each barony in Ireland.. At the Commercial Build ings, the opinion prevails, that it would be better to auanaon the proposition altogether, if the amount be not advanced to at least £250,000. However, taking the statement of Lord J. Russell in oninibta, it has given great satisfaction. - - REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—Another " p ositively last ap pearance this season " of the star of Conciliation -hall failed in dr^LlVitlfr fiill itrullen nn Monday• Mr. nell was present, and, on the authority of a Mr. William Thomas Kelly, a member of the association, read out thp names of several landlords in the county of Mayo, who, according to Air.

Now, take the same ra ilwal which we have already adduced as an example of gre 4 original cost and a low average fare, six per cent. on the gross receipts of the Brighton and South Coast is near)/ 30,000 per annum. £30,000 per annum, with the ace: o m ulations of interest at four per cent., will amoun t ', £5,000,000 in 50-1- years (as calculated by an insuran,,e° officer of high s t an ding), being more than th e cos t o f 0 ; railway. 55 years would make it £ 6 ,000,000..
