THE ABERDEEN MINISTRY. WE subjoin a list of the appointments for the Aberdeen Ministry as far as they can be ascertained, but the London papers state that they only give them as an approxitnation to the truth. There is however, no doubt, that, as far as the principal appointments are concerned, the list will be found to be correct. The organs of Liberalism are very irate that the majority of the names are from the ranks of the aristocracy, while their especial favourites are passed over without notice : Earl of ABERDEEN First Lord of the Treasury Lord JOHN RUSSELL (leader }Foreign Secretary. of the House of Commons) Lord PALMERSTON . Home Secretary. Duke of NEWCASTLE Colonial Secretary. Mr. GLADSTONE chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord CRANWOETH Lord Chancellor. Earl of CLA RE NDON Lord President of the Council Duke of ARGYLE Lord Privy Seal. Earl GRANVILLE Duchy of Lancaster. Postmaster-General. First Lord of the Admiralty. ViSrOtIGI CANNING Sir J. G RA H Sir C. Woof:, President of the India Board. Sir W. MOLESWORTH President of the Board of Works, Hon. SIDNEY HERBERT secretary-at-War. Mr. CARDWELL President of the Board of Trade, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE in the Cabinet, without office. Sir A. COCKBURN Attorney General. Sir W. P. WOOD Solicitor General. Mr. HATTER Mr. J. WILsoN Right Hon. M. T. BAINES.... First Poor-law Commissioner, IRELAND Earl ST. G ERMAINS Lord Lieutenant. Among the rumours on the subject of the other vacant offices, it is said that the Marquis of ABER. CORN, a near relative of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and step-son to the Earl of ABERDEEN, will be Lord Chamberlain. The Duke of NORFOLK, it is believed, will be again Master of the Horse. Mr. TANCRED, M.P., has been named as Judge Advocate General, and Mr. KEOGH, M.P., as Solicitor-General for Ireland. The crisis happening at this time has interfered sadly with the enjoy ments of those immediately interested; but Lord PALMERSTON has taken it easy, and retired to Brockett Hall, the seat of his friend, Lord MEL BOURNE, for the recess. THE NEW MINISTRY: POLITICAL PROSPECTS. NOTWITHSTANDING the announcement of the arrangements which have been effected with certain leaders of parties for the filling up of the various great offices of State, rendered vacant by the retirement of the DERBY Administration, the forma tion of a new Cabinet out of the proposed materials seems to be little better than a matter of speculation. If the difficulty were confined to the mere selection of persons competent to undertake certain duties, and willing to accept the responsibility of uniting with other individuals with whom they had for merly been at variance, we can understand that the Earl of ABERDEEN may have been very successful in fulfilling the mission with which he was intrusted by Her MAJESTY. But does he, or does any sane man bellcvc, notwithstandin g alas «ma p /moan& inanities of the Times, that the country can be governed by the simple consent of the Whig clique to amalgamate with the Peelite section ? Will the aid of Lord PALMERSTON, which has been with such difficulty obtained, help by more than one vote to swell a Ministerial majority, or will the vaunted talents of this united family party satisfy the cravings of those hungry Radicals, whose demands are too exorbitant to be conceded, and whose numbers are too great and their assistance too indispensable for them to be rejected ? With all this, moreover, there still remains the danger which we alluded to last week with reference to the undeniable Romanist tendencies of those who have taken the lead in concocting this strange amalgamation. At the head and front of the offending stands the Earl of ABERDEEN, whose antecedents, though not so various as those of some of his new colleagues, present most prominently his opposition to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, upon the ground that he saw no objection to the POPE of Rome parcelling out England into dioceses having territorial jurisdiction in spiritual affairs. Is this the spirit in which Protestant England is willing to be governed for the future ; or will it receive the slightest check from the adhesion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who was publicly known to have inter fered in the case of the Romish Aggression with the full design of making his measure as inoperative as possible ? Nor can even the alliance of the Radicals at all alter the position of this important question, for they have invariably proved the allies and sup porters of Romanist innovation, on the absurd plea of promoting religious liberty—an end which they endeavoured to arrive at by encouraging the most intolerant of all religious tyrannies. If we look down the catalogue of names which are put forward as our future rulers, it is difficult to point to any redeeming quality which we may set off against this alarming prospect. The only two sides presented to us are Romanist predilections and thorough indif ference, each dangerous in itself; and as the osten sible leader is on the side of positive favouritism to the most dreaded alternative, it requires no great ingenuity to predict the issue. Ireland would suffer from a new Inquisition under the fitting guidance of the Arch-priest CULLEN, who only bides his time, until the firm hand of the Earl of DERBY has been withdrawn, to display the cloven hoof more openly. That principle of general gaol delivery which animated the Marquis of NORMANDY'S vice royalty will again give immunity to priestly ruffian ism, and the Irish church, deprived of that small shar of Government support whichit has hitherto enjoyed, will be virtually offered as a holocaust to its unscru pulous antagonist, in order to gain the Parliamentary support of votes obtained by intimidation and violence. In England the prospect is not much more cheering. With the Ecclesiastical Title s Act allowed to remain a dead letter, the Romish Pontiff may publish his bulls and fulminate his anathemas without let or hindrance ; the artful trickery of Jesuits may be brought into full play upon the weak-minde l and the dying, without fear of molestation ; the atrocities of the Confessional may be practised unrestrained, and young females may be immured in nunneries, in many instances the victims of avarice, with no strong arm but that of popular indignation to which they may appeal for redress or relief. If the Protestants of England are willing that their dearest interests should be again imperilled, should be once more at the mercy of avowed enemies or treacherous friends, then let them unite in laudations of the heterogeneous com bination which is vauntingly put forth as the new Cabinet of all the talents. The ultra-Radicals may care nothing for the consequences, so long as they enjoy an ephemeral political triumph,—albeit their leaders are called upon to occupy no prominent posi tion; but we must wofully undervalue the good sense and religious feeling of Protestant English- mons; and it is also clear that the slender majority by which they were outvoted was solely owing to the treachery of a very few who profess to entertain Conservative principles on all points but that con cerning Free-trade, which had been expressly sur rendered by the late Cabinet upon the intelligible ground of the impossibility, and consequent im policy, of maintaining a contrary course. The majority was also swelled by the votes of some members of moderate :liberal opinions, who hal declared on the hustings their intention to give the DERBY Cabinet a fair trial, but 'had falsified their promises on the first opportunity afforded to them. And then comes also the important fact, that the Conservatives were barely out-numbered even by the votes of such ultra-politicians as Messrs. DUFFY, LUCAS, and Co., upon whose aid no Ministry could rely. It is a question which ought not to be difficult of solution, whether MartomET should go to the mountain, or wait for the mountain to come to him. In a case like the present, where a surrender of some opinions on minor questions has become a positive necessity, it must surely be a less objec tionable transition for nominally Free-trade Con servatives to join a party which has given up the only point of difference than for them to violate all their avowed convictions by joining with their pro fessed enemies: Were the Earl of DERBY to receive the support of but a few of the leading men who profess to be Conservative in principle, the difficulty which now presents itself would at once be removed, hut no possible amount of concession, or violation of principles, would suffice to render an ABERDEEN Administration efficient. Nor can we anticipate the danger to our Protestant institu tions, from the alliance of such men as have now turned their backs upon themselves, and whose aid would be requisite to render a Conservative Ad ministration secure against the hostility of demo cratic innovators. Under the guidance of so trust worthy a hand as the late Premier, their ultra-Church tendencies would be powerless for evil, while their business-talents would aid materially in the practical duties of legislation. It would seem, however, that, after all, it has been with them a mere question of personal pride. Upon no possible principle could they justify their recent votes in the House of Commons, but, like the :fallen angels, deeming it "Better to rei g n in Hell than serve in Heaven," they could not brook the fancied indignity of accepting any post less than the greatest, and have preferred to go over to the enemy, so that they might enjoy the command. This accounts for their remaining aloof, when last year Lord JOHN RUSSELL was entrusted with the task of re-con structing his Cabinet, and their willingness to coalesce now that the leadership is in the hands of the Earl of ABERDEEN. It has been with them aut Ccesar, aut nullus, and they have betrayed their weak point at the very time when its realisation has not the most distant probability of proving other wise than a miserable failure. Let us hope, how ever, that a better spirit will be awakened ; that adversity, which makes us acquainted with strange bedfellows, will open their eyes to the folly of the step which they have taken in their new alliance, and that with the candour and manliness characteristic of English gentlemen they will acknowledge their error, and for the future lend that support to the Earl of DERBY which can alone secure to Great Britain the blessings of good government. It is the only course which can safely or consistently be pursued, and if it should prove cu t,e the ti/Lfuidcu result of the present fusion, or rather confusion, we may see little cause to regret that a hostile majority led to a re-construction of the DERBY Cabinet. LORD ABERDEEN'S CABINET PUDDING. THE COALITION MINISTRY—save the mark ! is at last formed. Such monstrous creations never live long. But they are curiosities for the time. Experience ought to have taught them by this time that HORACE'S maxim is as applicable to the manufacture of Governments as to that of poetry— " Deqique sit quod vis, simplex duntaxat et unum." But the utter want of unity in the ABERDEEN composition is almost ludicrous. The olla podrida served up as Christmas fare by the new Chef of Downing-street may surprise the palate, but it will soon turn the stomach of the country. The mess is neither pleasant nor wholesome. A Cabinet pudding, of which ABERDEEN and PALMERSTON, RUSSELL and GLADSTONE are principal ingre dients, flavoured with NEWCASTLE, WOOD, GRAHAM, and various other equally homogeneous combinations, is a rather more quaint than dainty dish to set before the QUEEN. 'Tis just such a sort of jumble as a clown would concoct in a pan tomime ; and, so far, it is appropriate to the sea son. The somewhat venerable EARL of ABER DEEN will now find the team he has selected utterly unmanageable in his recently unpractised hands. Such bits of blood as PALMERSTON and GLADSTONE will soon be kicking over the traces, and refusing to answer either whip or bridle. It is but a mockery, after all—a stupid joke— what our neighbours call a " mauvaise plaisanterie" —for any statesman to pretend to carry on the busi ness of the country with such a body of Ministers. How meekly, for example, will Lord PALMER STON play second fiddle in the House of Com mons to his amiable friend Lord JOHN RUSSELL ! The noble Viscount's forgetting and forgiving dis position may possibly enable him to tolerate for a time the old leader who first discarded him, then lost office through him, and after wards was thwarted by him in his opposition. Still when fresh occasion arrives for plain speaking out, the new Home Secretary will have small mercy for his old and new colleague the Foreign Minister; and Lord JOHN, during his short continuance in his new office, will have to endure some far from agreeable buffets from the lively representative of Tiverton. Mr. GLADSTONE, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, will have this great advantage, that his colleague WOOD, the man of many budgets, will always be at hand to assist him in proposing, withdrawing, patching, and re patching financial schemes for the country. The GLADSTONE Budget, we doubt not, will please everybody, and show a fine surplus after making everybody easy. Of course the Government will be a very strong one—of course the COBDENS and BRIGHTS, though omitted from the official lists, will be too high-minded to be disappointed, and give their cordial support to the somewhat exclusive coalition. As to " Brass Band" Tenant Leaguers, Papists, Chartists, Socialists, and Radicals, they can easily be conciliated by appropriate sops. With such a Government, so supported, we have surely a right to look for unity, peace, and concord, mode ration and prudence; and we may surely expect the war of parties to cease for ever, a manly inde pendent Government to be established, and the interests of the Protestant faith to be carefully promoted. CHRISTMAS BENEFACTIONS TO POOR CLERGYMEN. — At this season of the year a considerable sum of money is annually distributed among the poor curates. and other clergymen, by the governors of the ancient Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy, at the Corporation-house, Bloomsbury-place, London. On Saturday week the cases of eighty-five poor clergymen were submitted, and sums, from £lO to £2O, given to seventy-eight. being a step in a wrong direction. It was impoli tic, because it substituted that which could only he felt as an oppression, for one the reduction of which would confer no advantage on either the producer or consumer. It was a needless hazard of one of the most important sources of the national income, for no possible benefit; and though its being pro posed might be a fair test of the want of sincerity in Free Traders, who had always clamoured for direct taxation, and opposed it because it touched themselves, it was unjust towards that great por tion of the community who had always been loyal to Constitutional principles. It has, however, been rejected ; and although on this account it might fairly be allowed to pass without further comment, yet, as it ostensibly formed the turning point upon which the DERBY Administration felt themselves called upon to resign office, it is entitled to further consideration We stated last week our conviction that the Earl of DERBY had acted somewhat precipitately, in .bandoning post upon the st hostile rn against him ; more particularly considering the small numerical difference, the discordant nature of the materials which had been thus hastily and passionately drawn into unnatural combination, and the certainty that the investigation of election committees would have considerably thinned the ranks of the Opposition. And the resignation thus hurriedly decided upon was the more to be regretted, as no party, or practical coalition of parties, existed which possessed the remotest chance of being able to carry on the government of the country. A s the noble PREMIER had himself stated on a previous occasion, the sole question at issue was between his own party and a further stride downwards to demo cracy ; and nothing has since occurred to alter the circumstances which presented so perilous an alter native. We have still the little Lord who prides himself on being the father of the Reform Act, anxious to do further mischief, for the sake of place ; we have still the Manchester democrats, priding themselves on their numbers, and deter mined to yield their support only for an extension of the suffrage, and some other points of the Charter; and we have still the Rot-Dish Brigade, alike indispensable to a Parliamentary majority, who would sell their country and her dearest interests at the bidding of their priestly tyrants. Out of the Opposition majority, what is there to oppose to all this mass of political corruption, but the little knot of the PEELITE section, the remnant who have secured seats in Parliament, and who plume them selves on their personal talents and official experience as sufficient to outweigh a host of adverse interests to which they cannot succumb without political suicide, and are powerless to govern or to reconcile. With a knowledge of these facts, which are patent to all the world, the reasons for the Earl of DERBY continuing to hold office against such a combination as that opposed to him on the Budget were far more forcible than those which induced him to undertake it in February last. Our business at the present, however, is with the position of those Conservative members of the House of Commons who voted with the Govern ment on the late momentous division. The oppor- tualit . 7 - 1,;11, ray J......b4 , , b 0 .0;0.04 i 7 r e r • }ll }-hp fingerll)lll lolls opponents and lukewarm supporters to accuse them of acting contrary to the interests of their constituents. Our Radical contemporaries in Li verpool have not been slow to make the charge, and even the walls have been placarded with repeti tions of it. Such a conclusion can, however, only be arrived at from very imperfect information of the question at issue. It is true that the question for mally put from the chair was to enable the Govern ment to increase and extend the area of the Inha bited House Duty, but the real point to be decided was distinctly and avowedly the CONFIDENCE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN THE DERBY AD MINISTRATION. The Government had pledged themselves to obtain a decision of the new Parlia ment upon their Ministerial policy, and with a chi valrous daring, worthy of the great Conservative cause, Mr. DISRAELI placed the most obnoxious item of his Budget in the van. The battle was en tered upon with all the advantage to the Opposition of ostensibly attacking a most unpopular impost; but, before the House came to a vote, it was most distinctly declared by the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER that it was to be considered one of approval or disapproval of the general policy of the Government, and that EVERY MEMBER WHO DI- VIDED WITH THE GOVERNMENT, SHOULD THEY BE SUCCESSFUL, WAS PERFECTLY AT LIBERTY ON A FUTURE OCCASION, ON GOING INTO DE- TAILS, TO OBJECT TO THE PARTICULAR PLAN, OR INDEED TO ANY INCREASE OR EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING HOUSE-TAX. It will thus be clearly seen that whatever may be the individual opinions of any Conservative member, it was his bounden duty—a duty which he owed to his own character, as well as to his constituents—to vote with the Government on that momentous division upon which depended the maintenance of those principles which he was especially sent to Parlia ment to support. He would then have been in a position to have opposed the extension or increase of the House-tax, and the Budget would have been modified in its details without any resort, as has now been the case, to a resignation of office, with the prospect of a chaos of parties. Let every elec tor, therefore, who voted for Conservative repre sentatives, clearly understand, that it was only a necessary compliance with the forms and usages of Parliament which declared the late division to be taken on the question of the House-tax; that it was virtually and really one of confidence in the Ministry ; and that the dreaded impost would have been in no degree nearer a realisation had the majo rity been the other way. The decision upon the proposed increase of the House-duty was in fact postponed until the time when the Committee would have been called upon to fill up the blanks in the schedule of duties to be levied. THE BISHOP OF Cu ARTRES.—Mgr. Clausel de Montals has resigned his Pastoral functions, and committed them to his coadjutor. The Bishop, who is in his 84th, year. and was consecrated in 1824, was one of the chief champions of Ultramontanisrn in France, and "saluted by the faithful as the Athanasius of the nineteeth century." SHIPWRECK.—The sloop Thomas and Mary, of Bel fast, sailed on Saturday, the 18th instant, from Lamlash, in the island of Arran, for Belfast, haying a crew of three hands and a general cargo. After passing the Castle Light she sprang a leak, which, notwithstanding the utmost ex ertions, increased upon them. They hoisted all sail, and ran before the wind, and when off the Point of Garron, about half-past three o'clock that afternoon, she went down. As she was sinking, the boat, which was on deck, floated, and the three men sprang into her, having but one oar, which they immediately lost, and were driven by the wind and tide past Turnamona Head. In this fearful extremity they tore up one of the seats of the boat, which they endeavoured to guide her with. They w ere at l eng th, between six and seven o'clock, p.m., driven into a little creek called Port Scally, when the boat swamped, and they were all washed out. The night was dark, and the surge raged about them, depriving them of every ray of hope. The master, however, and one of the hands were driven on shore in an exhausted state ; but the other poor fellow, Denis M`Laughlin, of the Waterfoot, Red Bay, was lost. His body was washed ashore the next day, greatly bruised and disfigured by dashing against the rocks. 1 1 0 Wood Ward, W. T 1 1 0 Whiteman, W.

THE BROADWAY QUADRILLES.—Anybody who had ever tried for a quarter of an hour at a time, and that in vain, to cross Broadway, in New York, just where that brass band on the balcony in front of Barnum's Museum endeavours to drown the tumult of rushing omnibuses, carts, drays, cabs, &c., will appreciate the Lantern's description of the Broadway Quadrilles, as performed by Barnum's brass band :—First.—The two leading couples try to cross and back, stand on pavement and wait, ladies chain, half promenade., omnibuses rightand left.

GARSTON DOCK To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD SIR,--In order to prevent any erroneous report as to the extent of the damage sustained at the Docks at Garston, by the extraordinary gale of to-day, I shall feel obliged by your inserting in your paper of to-morrow the following REPORT " At the height of the gale the water was force the river wall and the upper part of the coffer dam in such quantities as entirely to fill the dock to the level of the river outside. Before the dock filled, a portion of the inner wall gave way, owing to the pressure of the water behind—and the 50 feet gates, which were in course of erection, were unstopped and washed into the dock. From as careful an examination as I have yet had time to make, I believe that from £3,000 to £4,000 will make all good again, and that the whole of the damage sustained may be repaired within six weeks. " No delay will be occasioned by the accident to the works in the course of construction around the dock, as they have sustained no damage whatever, being above the level of the water. " had the dock been completed, the damage would not have been sustained." ir, your obedient servant, STEPHEN C. COURT, Engineer Liverpool, December 27th, 1852. I am, UNPRECEDENTED PASSAGE TO AUSTRADIA AND BACK.—The fine clipper ship Marco Polo, J. N. Forbes, commander, one of Messrs. James Baines and Co.'s black ball line of Australian packets, arrived in the Mersey about noon on Sunday. from Melbourne, after one of the most remarkable voyages ever recorded. The Marco Polo sailed from Liverpool on the 4th of July, and made her outward run in 68 days. She sailed from Melbourne on her return on the 11th of October, and arrived off Holyhead at 3 p.m., and in the river as above stated, having, as will be seen, made the voyage in the unprece dented space of 5 month and 21 days ; a voyage, we may venture to say, which has never found any equal. The qualities of the vessel wiil be better appreciated when it is understood that the screw steamer Australian sailed from Melbourne eleven days before the Marco Polo, and that we have not, up to the hour of going to press, received intelligence of her arrival. The Marco Polo, on her out ward passage took out 930 passengers, and had only two deaths of grown-up people, both from natural causes, besides nine children, principally from measles. On the homeward passage she ran 316, 318, and 306 miles during three successive days. She passed Banks Straits on the 12th Oct. 13.3 r ; on the 17th sighted the Falkland Islands ; on the 3d November made Cr.pe Horn, and had fine weather; and on the sth November passed Staten Island. Dr. North, the chief government surgeon on board, who has made several voya2es to Australia, and who was in the ship Statesman when she made her celebrated passage o' 76 days from Plymouth to Australia, states that the MAT() Polo is by a long way the fastest vessel he ever sailed in, and vastly superior to the Statesman. On several occasions during the voyage home the Marco Polo made 2f knot.. per hour for several hours together. Many bets were made by parties resident in Melbourne that the Marco Polo would beat the steamer Australian, from the fact of having beaten her on the voyage out. The Marco Polo was built by Mr. James Smith, of St. John's, N. 8., who also built the celebrated ships Tippoo Saib, Ben Nevis, and Alfred, and who has now on the stocks a splendid ship of about 1,200 tons burthen. Captain Forbes is a native of Aberdeen, and lately commanded the ships Maria and Cleopatra, belonging to the same line. His passages in the Cleopatra were little less sur prising than the present voyage. ROYAL PARK THEATRE.—There was an overflowing attendance at this popular es'ablishment last night. Long before the hour announced for the commencement of the performances, the doors were besieged by dense crowds anxious to gain admission, and who, doubtless, had been mainly attracted thither to witness the new pantomine, entitled " Ye Siege of Lererpole, or Harlequin and Prince Rupert and ye Fayre Mayde of Toxteth, ' (the story of pected under . , w. f. ; o h m i ch an wa e s n r t e e f r e t r a r i e n d m i e o n i t n o o f u t r i iliasst). character,lthe able superintendence of Mr. H. B o l en° , th e "p r i nc2 of clowns," we confess that the pant om i me a t th e P ar k iucll produced as wc ex took us completely by surprise. At the very late hour at which we write, it is impossible to do more than simply notice the piece • suffice it to say that, whether as regor d s the opening dialogue (written by Mr. Millward, ane of our most atlented dramatic writers(, and the comic scenes, invented by Signor Boleno. The scenery. dresses, machinery, or the wit and drollery with which the piece abounds, we may fairly pronounce it as one of the pantomimes evee seen in Liverpool. From the opening scene to the transformation, we have a Ell 'cession of pure local associations introduced, ending with the "Palace of Brilliants and precious stones." The transformation introduces us to the usual rounds of mischief and drollery, in which Signor Baleno, (who made his appearance amidst enthusiastic applause), as clown, keeps the audience in a continued roar of laughter. It is scarcely n(c scary to say that Madame BolenO, as colum bine, was enthusiastically received, as also, Herr Cole, as pantaloon, and the new candidate for popular favor, M. Conti, who made his first appearance in Liverpool as harlequin. No expense whatever has been spared by the management to place the piece upon the stage in a style of splendour seldom equalled at our local theatres. Mr, Wilimore, as machinist, deserves especial notice, and too much praise cannot be awarded to Signor Baleno, who has been indefatigabfe in superintending the entire getting up of the piece. These were, of course, the usual number of witches,—but these unavoidable defects, always excusable under ordinary circumstances, will be the more readily overlooked when it is known that the theatre, and everything in it, is entirely new. For this pantomime, we preeict a thoroughly successful run, which it richly deserves. We shall next week give a more lengthened notice of the scenery, masks, dresses, fricks, &c. BENEFICES. &c.—According to the annual return re specting benefices in England and Wales, which has just been printed, there were 11,728 benefices. The total residents numbered 8,077, and the nonresidents 2,952, of which last-mentioned class there were 1,137 performing the duties of their respective parishes. Under the class " miscellaneous cases" 699 were returned, including vacancies, sequestrations, &c. In England and Wales there were 5,214 glebe-houses when the return was made. A.nother part of the return was required to show the net annual value of the several benefices in which the incum bents were nonresident in each diocese in England and Wales according to the returns for 1850 made to her Majesty in council by the respective archbishops and bishops, in pursuance of the act 1 and 2 Victoria, chap. 106, sec. 53. No return of the value was made to 1,297, and in the others the value was from £lO to £2lBO a-year. The total was 2,960. DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE.—The Kilkenny Moderator reports as follows :—" One of those demonstrations of ruffianly intolerance and violence, which of late so fre quently disgrace this country, took place in our city on Tuesday last. Mr. Tapper, the local inspecto r o f t h e Irish Church Missions, with his wife and one of his children, went out to take a walk, at between three and four o'clock in - the afternoon, and chance led them in the direction of St. James's-green, through which they were passing unconscious of aught that could give the slightest offence or annoyance to any human being, and unsuspi cious of any intention on the part of the people there resident to assail them by word or action ; but scarcely had they made their appearance in the Green, and were about turning into Flood.street, with the intention of proceeding to the New-road, when a riotous mob called together from the various houses by signals from persons in the streets, assembled about them, com cmoemnmeeednceocipetroatihounrsl bstyoneysellinnagsinacrhde abuse , and ognddts to n o attack thei r u noffending victims. Mrs. Tapper and her child were several times struck and severely h urt b y t h e missiles, besides suffering the greatest alarm f rom th e attack of the. furious dogs, which were with difficulty kept off by Mr. Tapper , and it i s difficult to speculate upon the a mount of damage welch all three might have sustained, bud not a few soldiers of the 71st Regiment providentially made their appearance in the street, and seeing respectabe persons most wantonly ontraeed, immediately proceeded to give them their protection."
