DIOCESAN SYNODS.—In compliance with a resolution adopted at the meeting recently held in the Hanover square Rooms, in favour of the periodical holding of Diocesan Synods, the clergy and laity of the diocese of Gloucester met on Wednesday, in the large room of the Bell Inn, Gloucester, for the purpose of considering this question. The majority of the meeting was in favour of the object proposed, on which several resolutions were passed. It was then resolved that the meeting should adjourn to Manchester, to meet on the 21st October. THE FRIENDS OF THE CLERGY.—The second anniver sary festival of this society took place on Wednesday evening, at the London Tavern, Sir W. Page Wood, M.P., presiding. In proposing the toast of the evening, the chairman said that we had in England a body of 16,000 clergymen, continually increasing in number, but the means of supporting whom by no means proportionally increased. Their average income was believed to be not £2OO per annum, and many men whose whole lives were passed in the sacred duties of their office would therefore not receive the poor pittance of £lOO. What sustained them, however, in their course of duty was the assurance that their wives and families would be maintained if they should be left in what the world called want and destitu tion, and he was sure that this confidence would not be misplaced. By the exertions mainly of one individual they had now been able, in this their third year, to dis tribute assistance to no less than 83 nec ssitous clergy- men, to contribute to the support of 25 widows and - 9 orphans, and to give permanent relief in, he believed, 10 cases of distress. That such an institution as this was needed was shown from the fact, that in the very first year of its existence there were no less than 35 applicants for relief, in the second 55, and in the third 92. Mr. kldrich, the secretary, read the list of subscriptions, '-ich included donations of 100 guineas from the chair -10 guineas each from Lord John Russell and the of Derby (whose name was received with great en thusiasm), and 600 guineas from Mr. John Lord, and amounted altogether to the noble and almost unexampled of Derb DEATH OF THE GRAND DUKE OF BADEN.—Charles Leopold Frederick Grand Duke of Baden, who died on the 24th ult of August, 1790, and was born on the 2 was consequently in his sixty-second year.

ALLSONA AND SONS, BURTON. Wi-'ERENT, GENILEIVEEN,—My attention has lately been repeatedly di. rected to letters in The Times, Daily Nem, and other papers, stating that as large quantities of strychnine—the principal alkaloid of aux vongica—are imported into England from the continent, they must necessarily be for the purpose of adulter ming pale ale, &c. for imparting to it bitter and astringent pro perties. The intensity of the bitterness of this alkaloid is such that a watery solution, containing about a thirty-thousandth of its weight of strychnine, is intensely bitter.' How depraved must be the manufacturer who would dare in troduce such an energetic poison into his manufactory? —one eighth of a rain being sufficient to kill a dog, and a quarter of a grain producing deadly effects upon a healthy man. It acts upon the nervous system, producing tetanus. Medical works state that, when it is injected into the vein.s in very small quan tities, death ensues; and in this,way the poisoned arrows of the Javanese produced their extraordinary effects. Moreover, why should this virulent poisorrbe used instead of hops, which are cheap. and exhale a most delightful aroma? I and my family have used your ales- for years, and with perfect confi dence in their purity; further I recommended your ale to an invalid a few weeks back, for I know that pale ale when pre pared, as it must be in ; your factory, under scientific surveil lance, contains a large quantity of nutritious matter, and the hop, by its tonic properties, gives a healthy tone to the stomach. Owing to the receui serious charges in the public prints, I have carefully exanfined and analysed samples of your ales, and find that they,flo not contain a particle of any injurious substance. The ether day I went to your stores in Cook-street. Mr. Henry Dan%on, your agent, kindly assisted me in taking samples —one from a cask, No. 79,348,54 East India pale ale, and the other from a cask No. 60,492,36 mild ale. I have also examined and analysed your ale, taken from a cask in my cel lar, which was brewed some months ago, and before the strycli -"-- lien was agitated, and the results were similar to vied from the ale in Mr. Danson's stores.

Dr. Rowe justly remarks that the intense bitterness of strychnine is easy of detection, to say nothing of its potent effects upon the stomach and heart : for the extreme bitter ness could not be preserved without the combination of its de leterious properties.

Should yoh publish it, I hope it may tend to ostracise all fear from the public mind with regard to the absurd notion that strychnine is used to adulterate beer.—Very respectfully, (Signed) SHERIDAN MUSPRATT, F.R.S.G., Member of the Royal Irish Academy, Member de la Societeti'liCottragentent. College of Chemistry, Liverpool, April 20, 1934, INSPECTION OF NUNNERIES. GREAT MEETING AT THE AMPHITHEATRE. On Tuesday evening last, one of the most crowded and enthusiastic meetings ever held in Liverpool took place at the Amphitheatre. John Cropper, Esq., occupied the chair. The object of the meeting was to adopt a petition to the Queen on the subject of Nunneries, that they might be thrown open to the inspection of the civil magistrate, and not be practically beyond the power of the law. The first speaker was the Rev. Canon STOWELL, of Manchester, who moved " That this meeting, thankful for the privileges, civil and religious, of the British constitution, desires for all their fellow-countrymen the full enjoyment of the same privileges, uncontrolled by priestly domination." His speech was one of great eloquence and argument, its object being mainly to show that the precautions adopted to prevent the escape of the nuns practically disproved the tales respectinetheir happiness and contentment. In allusion to the present political struggle, he intimated that two Conservative candidates would be forthcoming for Manchester. The rev. gentleman was frequently and loudly cheered. The Rev Mr. NEWSTEAD seconded the resolution, and in the course of his speech quoted the extraordinary prayer by Father Ignatius (the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Spencer), for the conversion of England. It was taught to the people in and round Vienna, where he was collect ing for the purpose. The prayer is not addressed either to God or even the Virgin, nor does the mention of any person of the Trinity occur in it. It is addressed to St. Gregory, the pope under wnose auspices Augustine intro duced Christianity a second time into England :—" 0 adorable defender and propagator of the Catholic faith, St. Gregory, from thy seat of glory in heaven, behold how great a portion of the noblest British empire is without the pale of that holy faith which through thy zeal it received at the hands of St. Benedict, sent thither by thee ; and how other regions of this miserable world are in danger of losing the most precious of heaven's gifts, that most admirable charity which did animate thee; obtain for them the increase and diffusion of the Catholic faith, and for us the grace that we may never waver in the true faith, which would be the most severe chastisement that could be heaped upon us for the punishment of our sins." The second resolution was moved by the Rev. VERNER M. WHITZ, in the following terms : " That the claims of the bishop of the Church of Rome, to be keeper of convents, so that no nun can leave the premises without their permission, is at once un-English and un-Christian, and such as ought never to have been endured in this Protestaut country." The following is the close of his very excellent sceedi, the words of which in italics took some of the audience by surprise :—They must not be astonished if the poli tical tyrants of Europe should join with the ecclesiastical tyrant of Europe, and form a league against Britain and against Britain's religion. But should she fall in conse quence ? (" No, never.") They had once leagued against her, but yet she had lived ; and if Europe leagued again, by:God's grace she should live still. (Cheers.) But, though England might fall, would truth fall ? No. tHear, hear.) Their trust was not in princes or man's synse. They trusted not in the House of Hanover, how ever illustrious. They trusted not in the wisdom of British senators, however wise their heads, however sublime their genius, or fervid their eloquence. They did not trust in the valour of British soldiers, however great, and though led on by England's Iron Duke. (Great cheer ing.) But their trust was in God. He could save by many, or by few ; and trusting in Him and His divine goodness and protection, they must eventually prevail ; and if he were spared to the ordinary period of human life, he believed he should lire to see the coming and kingdom of our blessed Lord, and rejoice in the accom plishment of that which prophets and righteous men desired to see but could not—" Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and all her idols are cast out." (Great cheering.) The Rev. Dr. M`Neux (who was received with great enthusiasm) seconded the resolution, and in the course of his address read several extracts from Roman Catholic and other works bearing upon the subject. The following anonymous letter had reached him in the morning : " Liverpool,. 211'th April, 1852. " Rev. Sir,—As you respect your standing in Liverpool, as you value your own peace, 1 implore you• not to take part in to-morrow's meeting at the Amphitheatre. (Laughter.) As, if you do, you—(continued laughter)— will find an opponent who will show you no mercy—(con tinued laughter)—either there, with his , powerful argu ment, or afterwards through the press-. Froping and expecting that you will observe and profit by this friendly advice, I remain, yours respectfully, ONE OF THE CATHOLIV CLERGY." This note he believed to be a forgery, but be had troubled them with it lest there should be the remotest possibility of one of the Catholic clergy being present, who approved of the note, and who was willing there, in that Amphitheatre, by powerful argument, to defend the system of nunneries, as-practised on the Continent. The rev. doctor dwelt strongly upon the artifices- used to en trap ladies of wealth into the cloister. After expressing an opinion that foul pihy was adopted to get rid of some of the members of the convents, the speaker said that Mr. Drummond, the lest time he was in Rome,.accam partied a woman of the middle rank of life to see her daughter, a young girl , of about sixteen, and exceedinley beautiful, who had been induced to go into nconvent by the artifices of a moat. Her mother, according to the rule or the nunnery, went to see her at an interval , of about a year ; and, when she appeared at the gate of the convent, so much was• she- altered and reduced,.that the mother only knew her by her voice, and the daughter said, in Italian, " O my mother, the cruelty of _OP mother abbess knaensati on . h e insciphnecliher for her pride, and had put her to all' kinds of laborious and' disgusting. work ;: had made her to-sleep in a damp bed, in a cell below the level of the Tiber, and so much abused her that in two years from her entrance she was dead. In conclusion he read the foilbwing petition "'PO' THE QUEEY"S MOST EXCELIENT MIAJESII6. " May it pleree your Majesty, "We, the undersigned female inhabitants of Liverpool,. grateful for the blessings which, in the good providence of Giod„ we enjoy under your Majesty's government, de sire to'approach, as humble petitioners„ to , implore your Majesty's protection-on-behalf of a class of yottrMajesty'h subjects who appear to your petitioners more espeolall7 to require it. " We•refer to the ease of the inmates of nunneries-,. in different parts of your M'ajesty's dominions. There reason to believe, that amongst the number of young and inexperienced females who, from various motives, enter these establishments, not a• few are induced to seek ad-- mission by the representations of interested and designing: individuals ;: once admitted, their property passes from them to others, and they are deprived of free intercourse with friends and relatives;: and though they may bitterly repent of vows so taken,, yet such is the system-practised ia,these nunneries, that for them there is neither redress, nor escape. " Considering, therefore, the many evils incident to.a conventual' life,. we, your Majesty's, loyal and devoted subjects, valuing the blessings.conferred on us by our froe Protestant constitution, and relying on your Majesty's willingness t® extend your powerful protection to all classes of your Majesty's subjects, most humbly and earnestly beseech your Majesty to take such steps as are requisite for the purpose of securing, for all conventual establishments, a complete and regular inspection by the civil magistvete,—so that if.any be founclin them, other wise than by their own free choice, they may be liberated, and enjoy,, equally with the meanest of your Majesty's subjects, the freedom cad protection of our happy oonstitut!on. " And we, your humble petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, that the Almighty may greatly bless and long preserve your gracious Majesty,, and your Majesty's royal house, to reign in peace over a free, happy, and a Protestant people." The petition was adopted, and the meeting closed by singing the Doxology. A CAUTION TO SCHOOLAIASTSRS.—A few daps ago, a fine-young man had his right hand amputated,. a short distance above the.wrist, by Mr-.Milner, surgeon, . of Old field-lane, Manchester. About seventeen years ago, when thil young man was a boy of about seven or eight years of age, and just going to a boy's school, he committed some breach of school discipline which raised the ire of the master of the establishment (then living in Todmor den), who in his indignation told the lad to, " hold out his hand," ar4d he then struck it (the right) violently with a ruler—after the semi-barbarous fashion of applying the " cuts" of the cane so much in vogue-at one time. The blow " told." The little fellow's hand became ex ceedingly tender in one spot over the joint below the first finger. Gradually the pain increased tits, the hand could not be used.. At length a soft bleeding cancer developed itself, an' all ordinary remedies having failed, seventeen years of suffering were terminated as above, and a fine young man, the sole survivor of eleven sons, thrown mutilated upon his aged parents' hands. The same schoolmaster was known to have lamed another boy by similar violence, The master has since gone to his long account.—Blackaurn Standard. DROUGHTS.—The dryest year of the present century, we believe, was the year 1826—the whole quantity of rain falling in that year not exceeding 24.91 inches. In the four months the fall was, March, 1.280 inch ; April, 2.095 inches ; May, 0.385 ; and June, 0.200 of an inch ; altogether (122 days) 3.870 inches. The heat was intense, the thermometer. on the 28th June, standing at 89i deg. in the shade ; several deaths were caused by the excessive heat, amongst others a son of Lord Grey ; so long an absence of rain had not been known for half a century ; and Lincoln spring water was exported by steam-packet to Boston. But the recent year most re sembling the present, in the length and extent of its drought, was 1844, when dry weather sot in about the 26th March ; the fall during April was only 1.19 inch ; that of May, 0.09 inch ; June, 1.56 inch ; and the drought continued till the 13th July, on which day 0.74 inch fell ; the total fall of the first twelve days of that month being 0.40 inch. This gives an aggregate fall of rain during 109 days (from March 26th to July 13th) of 3.21 inches. The grass was quite dried up, and the price of hay rose enormously in consequence. There were many deaths from excessive heat, and the want of water was seriously felt ; many of the rivers being very low, and ponds throughout the country nearly dry. Hardly a drop of rain fell during eleven weeks. With this v to compare the present still-continuing drought, .e have now counts 69 days, with only 0.28 of an inch of rain I Fortunately, it is in the spring rather than the summer months, that this dry weather has visited us ; had it come accompanied by the fervid heats of summer, as in 1826 and 1844, we should have felt it s e ff ec t s muc h more severely.—Manchester Guardian of Wednesday. Gentle but copious rain fell in Manchester and the surrounding country on Wednesday and Thursday, the moisture descendin g in an almost continuous drizzle for many hours together. HORTICULTURE. We have been favoured with a view of an Indian Azalea raised by Mr. Geo. Davies, of the Green lane Victoria Nursery. It surpasses everything of the kind we have before seen in size, form, and texture ; its petals resemble a wax flower in con mine, with a very slight round, and t 1 1 less significantly— "I haves other in you will he bette ,unclant lab. r, you will be better able TO ENTER UP C.X.I%IPAIG:st YOU HAVE CONCEDED well and, having beaten your opponent t the same party you have to heat in the other ; for the monopolists in corn are, after all, the monopolists in political power. We may have in our r a n k s men who go various lengths in political reform and the question of the suffrage, but, at all events, I scarcely oted in favour of the total repeal of the Corn-laws that is not willing to go onward also in the path of reform ; whilst, on the other hand, they who would deprive you of the privilege of eating an untaxed loaf, they are the very men who will keep you out of the pale of the Constitution, and who will take advantage of their power to tax you in other things pretty roundly as well as the loaf. By settling this question, and securing for the working classes freedom for their industry, and the greatest abundance, under the laws of nature, in the sup plies of food. we are placing them in the best possible position to fight any other battle." We quote these passages simply for the purpose of sheaving that Mr. Cobden considers the defeat of Lord Derby's Ministry as a necessary preliminary to ulterior objects, the nature of which may be in terpreted according to the will of the reader. We have no leisure to make remarks upon the alteration of tone visible in these speeches, from that exhibited in others delivered in former years. Mr. Cobden now admits that the question is not settled ; and that is undoubtedly a very considerable concession. Also, he is not quite so minatory or threatening in his language as he used to be, which possibly may arise from a prudent conviction that certain acts, relating to sedition, which are contained in the sta tute-hook, are not yet altogether in abeyarre. He wisely confines himself to inuendo, trusting to the intelligence of his audience to supply the lack of direct speech. Only on one occasion does he trans gress the limits of prudence ; and we quote it, as reported in the Times, as an instance of that kind of suggestive oratory, of which the late Mr. Hunt was esteemed a consummate master : " I don't like to see a London newspaper saying we have not the working classes with us on this question, be cause it is a great libel on the working classes to say so. And another thing too; it is trying to discredit the work ing classes with those who have at present political power, in order that, by-and-by, it may be turned against them, and enable them to say they did not, by their petitions, contribute to the repeal of the Corn-laws. Now, when the Corn-law was laid on in its most unmitigated severity in 1815, the loudest protests against it were made by the working classes. The working men of London made the loudest protests against it, though rather rudely I admit, for they tore the members' coats from their backs. (Cries of They did right.') They pulled them out of their carriages, soldiers had to be called up to protect the members of Parliament, and the Houses of Parliament were surrounded by infantry and cavalry to enable them to pass this infamous corn-law. The middle classes and the working classes then thoroughly cooperated in op posing the law; but the middle classes had not then the political power they have now. The working people did their duly then, and I hope they will do it again. (Shouts of ' We will, we will,' and loud cheers.) I hope they will do it not only in Yorkshire, where it is well said, ' we are safe,' but elsewhere." Far be it Irons us to put strained interpretations on the language of Mr. Cobden. We do not care one rush what he says, considering the blatant ab surdities of his speed on more than fifty occasions. No jack-pudding alive has exhibited himself to greater disadvantage, although jack-pudding exhi bitions can always command an audience. But what we wish to bring out is this—that Mr. Cobden, the individual expressly consulted by LORD JOHN RUSSELL before the Chesham Place meeting was held, refers uniformly to " ulterior objects" as the consequence of the defeat of Lord Derby's Ministry, and does not hesitate to express his hope that, in the event of the parliamentary majority being returned hostile to his notions, the working classes may proceed to acts of overt violence, similar to those which were committed on a previous occasion. If we misconstrue Mr. Cobden's meaning, we ask his pardon ; and, on a disclaimer of such being his intention, we shall made ready reparation. But we judge of words according to their ordinary signifi cance, and we can gather no other meaning from ltvnguage.-13TrecVtoor,crer Magazin c. LIVERPOOL PSALMODY ASSOCIATION.—The last aggre. gate meeting (for some months) of this association, will be held in St. George's Presbyterian Church, Myrtle. street this evening (Tuesday). MR. CHARLES KEAN.—It is reported in the metropolis that her Majesty contemplates conferring upon Mr. Charles Kean. of the Princess's Theatre, the order of Knighthood. It is furthermore stated that Mr. and Mrs. Kean will thereupon retire from the stage, and take up their abode at the Palace, as teachers of elocution to the Royal children. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.-Mr. Davenport and Miss Fanny Vining will go through a round of Shakesperian characters during the present week. They have been very well received during their stay, and their talents merit approbation. Mr. Davenport does not attempt too much, but what he essays to do he does well. Miss Vining is lady-like in her deportment on the stage, and' her style of acting has a freshness about it which is very pleasing. Their efforts have been well supported by the members of the stock company. Nliss CATHARINE HAYES.—This charming songstreso still continues an immense favourite in the United States,. where her popularity appears to increase daily. The Cin cinnati papers state that her concerts in that city were densely crowded. Her singing had such an effect upon one of the editors as to make him write as follows.:,-- " sate, lovely you are, for you teach man to love what is lovely in yourself and in your sex. The grateful emotions you have awakened in our bosom will rise, when yom are gone, at another's bidding, and memory waft them back to her who gave them gladsome birth.

THREE DAYS ON BOARD A STEAM-SHIP, NOT steaming away from our own land, after numberless atheus, and indefinite waving of white handkerchiefs from the shore and quarter-deck ; nor yet homeward-bound, with all the bright anticipations of a speedy reunion with those whom we love, and those who love us. Nothing of the kind. One day in the autumn of 18.16, the writer was instruc ted to proceed, with all possible speed, to a lonely spot on the north-eastern coast of Ireland, where, during the pre- le noblest, if not the noblest, vessel in the world had run ashore. The weather was fine, the night had been comparatively calm,—a mistake in the reckoning, or an imperfection in the chart, bad led those in charge to take a wrong course. The consequence was that the ship was run on shore, fortunately in a place where a high bank of sand had been raised, but imme diately beside rocks of the most dangerous character, which at high tide are barely covered. Everything in and around the Great Britain was utter confusion. The peasantry for miles around had congregated to the spot, f r assistance in abundance was at hand to remove the lug- gage of the passengers, all of whom—as indeed all who were on board at the time of the accident—luckily escaped. We spent the whole day on the deck, a hope being then indulged i❑ that she would be got off by the next tide. Never, perhaps, were the feelings of disappointment, dis may, and hope, so completely blended as upon that occa sion. The commander was the very picture of melancholy, and, save in giving occasional directions to those near him, scarcely a syllable escaped his lips. The tide flowed and ebbed again, leaving the fine ship high and dry, notwith standing the exertions used for her release ; and we left her, participating in the regret which the disappointment had caused. Another day—it was in the spring of 18-17—being near the spot, and having some leisure time, we paid a second visit to the Great Britain. The attempt to move her off from her position bad been abandoned during the winter months ; and there, sure enough, she lay a perfect bulk. The waves aroused by many storms had washed her sides, and everything which had given her, desolate as she was, the morning after the wreck, a certain degree of splendour and an air of life, had been removed. The rust had ga. thered over her, and ruin was imprinted everywhere. A solitary individual was in charge of her, from whom we obtained permission to pass through the saloon, and in- spect what had been her superbly-fitted apartments. Only in her dimensions was there any trace of that mag nificence which had excited but a few months ago, feelings of admiration. As to her chances, they scorned at a sad discount : the hull had been much damaged, the return ing tides had only more firmly imbedded her, and looking down from the engine-room, it might be seen that sbe heArater to a considerable distance above her keel. It w PIIF truly melancholy spectacle. Still another day—during the week just past —we were again on board the Great Britain, in Wellington Dock. Hundreds of people were there as well as we, inspecting the noble proportions, the tasteful fittings and decora tions, the splendid machinery, and all the requisites of a first-class steam-ship. All were loud in praise of what they saw. To our own mind, the contrast she presented with our recollection of the hopeless derelict of Dundrum awakened other feelings than those of admiration for the preparations around us, however magnificent or well contrived. These attested British skill ; that taught a nobler lesson—the results of British perseverance. Simple as are the facts above stated, what if they con vey a worthier moral still ? What if they arouse us to reflect that, however grand, however we may deem our selves well fitted to battle with the storms and ills of life, " not to us " is due the merit, and that a simple accident may reduce the noblest craft to a desolate hulk ? And what if they still further induce us to consider that there is no position so forlorn; but from out of it perseverance, under Providence, may sooner or later relieve us ? G. DEPARTURE OF THE GREAT BRITAIN• According to previous announcement, this ocean steam ship left the Wellington Dock at 9 10, a.m., on Saturday, with about 180 passengers on board, and a large quantity of goods for the season. A great number of spectators, assembled on the pierhead, seemed much gratified at the manner in which she cleared the dock and steamed down the river. She reached the Bell Buoy, unassisted by her sails, about 10 10, a.m., thus making a run of thirteen miles in the first hour ; at 12, noon, she was off Ormes head ; at 1 30, p.m., Point Lynes ; and at 3, p.m., she was telegraphed off Holyhead. The passengers were much pleased with the arrangements, and no less se• with the absence of the noise and unpleasant motion so much com plained of in many screw steamers. Her engines worked' smoothly and with great accuracy. We understand - that she will return from New York on the Ist of June, and be again despatched hence on the 26th. One interesting feature in her arrangements is the improved princiiple of launching the boats. By an ingenious contrivance they are lowered into the sea in a horizontal position and so simple is the machinery to effect this, that a eabin-boy could perform the operation. She has a sufficient num ber of boats to contain the whole of the crew and as many passengers as sbe is likely to carry. In Captain Mat thews she her an able commander. goo J2,l' AgAO,-v%t 14 ENV April 4.—At 2, a.m., abreast of Greenock, set on full speed. April &—Distance run, 220 miles.

We have as great an objection as other persons to ba poisoned, either by deleterious drinks or adulterated arti cles. of food. But we cannot believe in all the " Death, in the Pot" storiesoirculated by parties professing to be chemists. A crusade has recently been made by certain of these would-be- savant against alleged adulteration ;. and most astounding discoveries have been made, tending to.excite our wonder that one-half the population of this country have not long ago been destroyed by arsenic, and other poisons, whichithey are proved to have been bathe daily habit of swallowing. The most recent discovery of the kind was one calculated seriously to disturb our faith in the genuineness of that admires/beverage, Bitter-Beer. Large quantities. of strychnine,in seems, have lately been imported into, this. country ;, and strychnine is bitter, ergo, the sage conclusion has been arrived at, that it must be used in brewing bitter ale. Such is the stoat which has been circulated by the. London Times and Daily News. We-are glad, however,,so far as one eminent firm is concerned, to be enabled bo lay before our readers the following letter from one of the most eminent chemists of the day, Dr. Muspratt, of Liverpool, which is calculated thoroughly to restore their confidence in the popular ar ticle, brewed by Messrs. Allsopp and Sons, of Burton stency ; the colour is a bright car- e. It is remarkably beautifully flattened out REVIEN Curtis's Botanical 111aga:- this month. It contains two el Gant orchids, figured ; Sarcanthus filiformis ; and Dendrobium aqucum, a very fine species. The very beautiful Bentharnia fragifera, with its elegant fruit and flowers, so rarely seen ; Bes- chorneria tub iflora, a Mexican Amaryllad ; and two Swan River Hakea's, li. Myrtilloides and H.

Sowerby's English Botany (Reissue).—We can hardly praise this book too highly ; it is all that the British botanist can want; every plant is in its turn figured in a carefully coloured drawing. A Popular History of the Mollusea : By Mary Ho- Reeve & Benham, London.—The popular autho ress of "Voices from the Woodlands has again produced a book which, from its usefulness and the elegance of its style, must become a great favourite with all who feel an interest in those beautiful dwellers of the ocean, the shell fish, and molluscs generally. Here we have the habits, physiology, and external appearances of the inhabitants of shells, familiarly described, whilst the arrangement is in strict accordance with the latest discoveries in science. There are upwards of one hundred accurately coloured figures. OPERATIONS FOR TIIE WEEK. Stove, Conservatory, Brc.—Most things in these de partments are now making active progress, and air, water, and occasionally liquid manure, must be regularly attended to. Many orchids will require shading, espe cially those coming into flower. Grapes, in vineries which have fully set, will require judicious thinning. Flower and Kitchen Garden.—The extraordinary wea ther which has so long prevailed, prevents us from recom mending any change in these• departments—all things re main in stain quo, and must so continue until we have eopious rains to restore the parched earth to a state for profitable tillage. ANSWERS TO COA'RISSRONDENTS G. B.—Your hybrid Rhododendron is indeed beautiful : it retains much of the character of R. campanulatum, but the colour is nearly that of the fine R. arboreum.

THE POTATO CROP.—SO sanguine are farmers of the success of the potato this year, that they are burning beaten ground for the purpose of renewing the seed. THE KILHAHE FARMERS suffered se7erely last week by spontaneous combustion of the arid soil for miles, origi nating in a parched bog, the flames destroying crcps in their course. SMALL in - lIIMREES, &c.—There were eight O'Con nell's in Parliament together the last seven years, and the number is now reduced to one, the eldest son of the late Liberator.. BURNING A 13illEST'S HOUSE.—The Doily Eorprns says—" It is with much concern that we have to state that the house of the Rev. Mr. Hefferman, P.P., at Clerihan, county , Tipperary, was malicious-1r set on fire and burnt to the ground on Saturday night last, the rev. gentleman himself narrowly escaping from, the flames. It was done, it is understood, by a person whom he had thrust out of the house in the early part of the same day." AN IMPORTANT AsHREST OF A RIBAND LOOGF. has-been made in the county; of Longford, which has long been suspected of being the hotbed of the murderous system. Two threatening notices of a violent character—one di rected to a neighbouring Protestant clergyman, and the other to a farmer who had recently taken some land— were found among the papers. One of the partrwas ac tually writing a third threatening notice when the police surprised them. THE REV. Samrm. HANNA, D.D., the venerable senior minister of the Rosemary-street Piesbyterian Church, Belfast, and one of the joint professors-of divi nity in the General Aseembly's college, died ow•Fiiday evening week, in Londonderry, where he had! been so journing for some time in a declining state of health. Dr. Hanna was the oldest minister of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, being, at the date of hii-decease, upwards of eighty years of age. DEATH FROM STAIWATION OF A Ttrru from Diomolaed, New market, county Clare, was found on the footway on Friday morning in a state of great exhaustion and seem ingly dying. On examining his person, a chelve on the Provincial Bank in this city for £lOO, a sovereign, 83., and some pence were found. He was in a mos . .: emaciated condition, and it is conjectured that it was threugh weak ness from want of food lie died. Before his death Belli nan was raving about his money, demanding that he should get it, and go home, though at the time he was dying.—Limerick Examilaer. THE GREAT NATIONAL EXHIBITION AT COaao.--The building for this undertaking will occupy a site of upwards of five acres in extent, and the whole will be sur rounded by a wall twenty feet high. The exhibition will be confined exclusively-to Irish productions. Miclise, it is said, has promised to paint an original picture for the exhibition. Mr. C. P. Roney, the great railwaysdiplorna tist, is making arrangements with the different•railway companies in England and Ireland. by which a . scale of fares will be laid dowse to enable the humblest. mechanic from remote parts of the country to visit Cork during the exhibition. The gross-ansount collected for the exhibition exceeds £15,000. * THE CELTIC EXODCS.—The Cork Compliiution fur nishes some remarkable statistics, which pretty clearly indicate that the emigration mania has in no wise dimi nished this year :—" The Jessy left Limerick,on Tuesday, with 345 passengers;: the Anna Maria left Limerick the same day with 92 ; the Jeannie Johnston left Tralee with 188 passengers for auebec ; and on the same day the Brunswick set sail with 224 for New York; on Friday the Emerald, of Wexford, carried above 200 to New York, and 110 more set sail for the same place in the Reliance, from Galway ; over 1,100 emigrants left Water. ford in a single week, in the ships Mars,Orinoco, and others ; and six other vessels are taking_ passengers to sail direct from than port to their western destinations. From the Parliamentary returns it appears that no less than 7,129 emigrant vessels sailed from ports in the United Kingdom within the last five years, which is at the rate of 27 per week. The number of passengers who, sailed in these 7,19 ships was 1,494,0443 which is at the• rate of 5,743 per week. CONFESSIONS, OF AN IRISH PRIESTI—The letter of the Rev. Mr. Mullen has created a perfect ferment among the Irish Roman Catholic clergy. His unsuspected tes— timony to the wholesale abandonment of the Romish faith by the thousands of the emigrants who have left this country for life and " liberty"' on American sail, has sounded the keynote of alarm from Carrickfergus- to Kinsale. "On Sunday we e k," says a provincial paper, " the Rev. Mr. Birmingham, P:1 3 ., of Borrisokane. warned his congregation at mass against emigration to America ; he read a letter from a Roman Catholic priest living in New York, which stated that the Irish emigrants of his persuasion were largely perverted to heresy and infidelity. There is no doubt but that the release from Irish Roman Catholic associations and kindred gives many of them a more easy opportunity of following their own judgments, and escaping from the mental thraldom by which . they were enslaved under their priest-ruled religion. No popular clamour or altar denunciations against converts durst be attempted there—public opinion so discountenances it or any other priestly terror. With freedom of thought and action Protestantism must ex tend„ and these are the reasons which now rouse the priests to oppose all sorts of emigration." COURT AND FASHION. HER MAJESTY'S DRAWING-ROO:U.—The Queen held a drawing-room on Thursday afternoon, at St. James's Palace. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the royal suite, arrived from Buckingham Palace soon after two o'clock. His Serene Highness Prince Nicholas of Nassau attended the drawing-room. The Queen wore a train of pink moire antique silk, trimmed with white blonde and white roses and acacias. The petticoat was of white satin, trimmed with white tulle, and wreaths of white roses and acacias. Her Majesty's head-dress was composed of white roses and acacias, ornamented with diamonds. COURT MOURNING.—The Court went into mourning on Sunday, for his late Royal Highness the Grand ➢uke of Baden. To change the mourning to-morrow (Wednes day) ; and, on Sunday next, the Court to go out of mourning MR CARTER was, on Wednesday last, elected for Tavistock, in the room of Captain Trelawny, who resigned after a contest. Mr. Carter is a Chartist. Mr. LASLETT was elected on Wednesday, for Wor cester, without opposition, in the room of Mr. Rufford, the banker, who had resigned.
