" SELECTIONS MAID SERVANTS. — TRE NURSEMAID.—The nurse maid next claims our notice. She has a child's-maid un der her, or could not have left the nursery even for family yrayers. She is a smart lassie enough, but not with such pretty little shynesses as the lady's maid. She has not been so much closeted from the eyes of men. Her brow is more bronzed with sun and assurance, for she has been much in public walks with the children, who have secured to her many an opportunity of a flirtation with the gen tlemen. No harm has yet been done to her, and sorrow to him who would effect it ! She (God knows) means harm to no one; but her situation is, perhaps, the one of all others needing circumspection, and the sooner ehe meets with a Dick Robins the better. Handsome fellows stop her to a little innocent play with children ; and glittering epaulettes, especially, are bright playthings for great girls as well as little ones. Parades and ramparts are generally open, airy healthy places, and the music stimulating ; but we must deny the assertion that, " where the banners flout the sky, they fan the people cold." Take care, Jenny—take care. Nurse your innocence as fondly and faithfully as you are nursing your mistress's child, and, with that child's growth, shall thrive your soft heart's happiness.—Fra.ver's Magazine. AUTUMN MORNING.—The sun's disc peeping above an eastern hill—the ecstatic voices of a multitudinous throng of larks, rushing heavenward, and pouring out the while a flood of tremulous yet triumphant song—the jocund voices of labourers in the farm-yard, of reapers in the harvest field, and early gleaners in the bowery lanes—the clinking of harness, and the creaking of ponderous wains already astir and tending towards the harvest fields ; what plea santer sights and sounds than these to usher in the glo rious day ? And as the blue mists roll away—veil after veil withdrawn, and distant hills shine clearly out, and winding waters leap and sparkle in the sunshine, and hill side cottages send up their slender wreaths of white and vapoury smoke into the pure, bright, morning air, and the awakening breeze runs riot amidst the huge gnarled arms and waving boughs of every tree it meets with in its course—what seemeth it but a renewal of the primal beauty of the earth, order and light revolving out of chaos —life teeming, vigorous, and lusty life, up springing from the heavy death-like sleep of night? So morning life, and sunshine dawn unon the world ; morning climbing the firmanent's blue arch—life in that vocal air, life in the dancing waters, life in the twinkling grass, life in the so lemn, woods, life in the thrilling song of the exalted birds, life in the red-veined vine-leaves clustering round the cottage porch, life in the haunts and homes of men, and sunshine brooding over, embracing and informing all.— Illuminated Magazine. Furs, generally speaking, are very little understood in Eng!and. Our fair country women are really seen to wear rubbish, which a Russian lady's maid would disdain. And this is not because, as is commonly imagined, furs are cheap and abundant in Russia; on the contrary, strange as it may appear, the great mass of furs used in Russia comes from London, and every fur is worth fifty or a hundred per cent. more there than in England. Even the famous Siberian sable, is not Siberian, it comes from the Karile Islands in the Pacific, whither the Russian govern ment, every other year, despatch a vessel or two, which completes the circuit of the world, and returns laden with the productions of this distant possession. In London, one constantly sees well-dressed wome❑ with imitation sables, although the real skin does not cost above twelve shillings, the darkest coloured from twenty to thirty ; but the sable of the Karile Islands may run as high as six guineas a single skin, and is seldom under four in price, whilst in the beauty of its long, thick, light-feeling, and dusk-coloured hair, there is more difference than in the price. This is the sable used by the Russian dames; but in addition to this, two furs are generally worn in Russia, which are almost unknown in England—the most valuable of all furs—the sea otter and the black fox. The former is used for offi:vrs' collars, and this narrow strip cannot be obtained under ten pounds, in its most inferior quali ties. The black fox is used for ladies' cloaks and muffs : a single collar of it is worth at least sixty guineas. At:IACTIVE .MAGISTRATE.—DAUNTLESS COURAGE.— In 1829 strong symptoms of fresh disturbances began to be manifest among the " Boys of Doneraile," and the magistrates learned that a conspiracy was on foot to mur der several of the gentry of Doneraile, amongst others Mr. George Bond Low, Admiral Evans, and Mr. Creagh. Mr. Bond Low was fired at on three different occasions, and his escapes were really marvellous. He was a very active and zealous magistrate, and from his extraordinary determination, nay, his downright heroism, was a most formidable person to all who meditated deeds of violence. He was a very large and heavy figure, possessed a cool and daring spirit, and with the exception of the King of the French, no man was, perhaps, so often attacked by dis tardly assassins ; but all parrallel ceases between Louis Phillippe and Mr. Low, when the fact is noticed that the latter. riding amongst his foes without guards, and by himself alone, more than once captured his assailants, and brought them to the gallows they deserved. On one oc casion, in the noon-day, two strong and active peasants, . . . . armed with fire arms, attacked hina - from behind 'a hedge. Nothing daunted, although his mare was severely wound ed, he jumped off and crossed the fence. The men fled before him, and he gave chase. but being rath-r unwieldy he had little chance of catching them. He had pistols one of which he ineffectually discharged—they bad guns which they reloaded. He was afraid to fire lest they shou!d be beyond his reach, and when the men halted to fire again at him, he calculated that by running in on them even at the hazard of his life, he would still have a chance of capturing them. He did so—one of the men fired— missed—and ran away. On rushed Mr. Low, when the second assassin had discharged his piece without effect, though he grazed the shoulder of his dauntless pursuer. Mr. Low having lessened his distance, fired his remain ing pistol, and mortally wounded the peasant. With as sistance he caught his other assailant, and brought him to trial, at which he was capitally convicted and executed. Such was one of Mr. Low's extraordinary escapes.— Ireland and its rulers since 1822. MAID-SERVANTS . THE COOK.—The cook. Ah ! how shall we adequately apostrophise thee, thou important ruler of the roast? Thou vestal of that flame, which gives life and strength to carnivorous man ! Who shall dare impiously to intrude on thy orgies, armed as thou art with tongs and ladle? What a touch-me-not is there in thy chop—chop—chop—chopping-knife! " Hands off !" thou exclaimest, " or I make mince-meat of your fin gers !" Lusty is thine arm, and radiant thy visage ! Portly thy form, and capacious that heaving, well trussed-up bosom, as though to prove ‘‘ Who roasts fat mutton should herself be fat," _ Yet, take her from the kitchen, and how she loses all cha racteristic dignity ! Look at her away from the burning glories of her own stove, and the radiant constellation of her suspendid dish-coves, and she appears like the heaped embers of a dying bonfire, or the huge machinery of a melodram by daylight ! Far be it from us to say that it really is so, but nothing can look more out of place than a thorough-going, regularly-built cook, at family prayers in a library. She always seems as if she had left her leg boiling in the pot, and her heed roasting before the fire. Every thing about her seems so tiny, and so cool, and so white, that she sits, as it were, appalled at her own size, hotter in the sense of her own heat, and redder under the apprehension of her own redness. She weeps perspira tion ; and, pathetically wiping her eyes, she seems to ex claim aghast, " What bands are here!" while she vainly endeavours to hide them under her apron. We say vainly, for they gleam through its whiteness with a lurid glare like the blood-red moon through a mist ! But she is a good soul, and praised be her skill and her endurance. Well does she merit all the importance and homage which belong to her station. She is (spite of Mrs. Housekeep er's pretensions and governance) the grate women of the house. With no one does such heavy responsibility rest. No other has more right to be ill-tempered and well-paid. Thoroughly well done, as she must needs be, and there fore tenderly given, may he who she favours with a sop in the pan prove worthy of her substantial virtues. The bai liff is the man for her. Let her well-warmed heart be dished up with his broad shoulder, and a central dish of frizzling young cutlets be supplied between them.—Fra ser's Magazine. THE CHURCH..—" In the case of multitudes," observes Dr. Vaughan, who is a dissenter, in his work on Congre gationalism, " the zeal' now evinced in the cause of the established church has its origin, no doubt, in much laudable purpose and feeling, such as the men who think it mistaken should be prepared to respect. In the view of no small numbers of her children, the Church of Eng land is possessed of such attractions as belong not to any other institute on earth. Among all the ordinances of God or man she is esteemed the most lovely, the most benignant. Her antiquity carries the mind back to the infancy of our condition as a people. Her visible struc tures, in every form and shade of beauty, are the still and sensible links which connect her history with all the changes of the past. In every completeness, or as they take the shade of the ivy-mantled ruin, they serve to call up the bygone in lengthened succession, until the imagi nation rests upon the rudest appearances, amidst the deepening shadows of the most distant time. Before her altars all our fathers stood on their bridal day, and to her sacred inclosures they surrendered their ashes when their race was run. Her solemn forms of worship became more or more impressive to the living, as being through so many ages mementos of the dead. Beneath her roofs—beneath the humblest in common with the proudest—the men of all degrees have worshipped for more than a thousand years. The very paths leading to the spaces on which her spires and turrets lift themselves towards heaven, have been in a measure sacred in the usages of our people ; and the Sabbath-morning groups in our parishes are among the social pictures we hare always been fond of cherishing. But the institution thus interwoven with our homestead remembrances and sympathies has still higher claims on our veneration. As we look back on the history of this church, we see monarchs, a line of dynas ties, do homage to her sanctity. Queens also, from the mother of Alfred downwards, bow at her shrine, and give up their children to her blessing. Her rulers, her scho lars, and her devout men, arc often seen as the only august spirits of their times. Not a few of them appear like per sonifications of the repose of another world, coming forth amidst the darkness and turbulence of the present. Such men, resting on their own profound thoughts, and strong in their own strength, are often seen rising high above all the men of their own age. When the season came, some of these could take the place of the confessor and the martyr, giving to the dignity of their episcopate the high adornment of a spirit ready to be offered as an oblation an the altar of truth and sanctity. Such were Latimer and Hooper, and such and we w r o e , o R f theidle lo ya a ni l l in Bersasnd d:ord. All great al, the moral, and the holy, through of the _churchman's im .gination, a which they .'t to the stem wit/ sociated THE FARMERS AND SIR ROBERT PAEL On Tuesday last at the dinner of the Tamworth Far mer's Club, Sir Robert Peel presided and from his speech on the occasion we take the following extracts ; —A friend of mine some time ago made a careful and impartial experiment with respect to the merits of a manure lately introduced, and of which you all must have heard--the guano. I desired him to communicate to me the result, which he did; and you will perhaps excuse me for stating it to you. He planted potatoes on a piece of land about two acres ; the ridges were of the same length, the potatoes of the same quality, and the manure laid on in perfect fairness, the soil also being exactly the same. Three different manures were used —guano, stable manure, and Potter's manure. The produce of the several ridges was at length taken up, and the average result was, on equal proportions of land, nine bushels to the stable manure, eleven to the Potter's, while the guano produced fifteen bushels. (Cheers.) I asked for further and more complete details with regard to this particular experiment, and found that the guano and Potter's manure had been mixed with wood ashes and fine mould, in the proportion of one bushel of guano or Potter's manure to six bushels of ashes and mould ; a bushel of guano weighs 831b5., and three bushels of that manure and three of Potter's weigh siolbs. ; three bushels of the mixture was put on the ridges at two different times, at the rate of three cwt. per acre, one half of each being put under the ridges when the pota toes were planted, and the other half was applied when the potatoes Lad appeared about one inch out of the ground. The potatoes were planted on the 4th of April, and were taken up in October ; the produce on the two acres exceeding 600 bushels. The total expense was £l6 ; and calculating the value of the potatoes at ls. per bushel, the profit would appear to be £l4. The rentable value of the land was about £1 per acre. This was the result of an experiment made in perfect fairness. At the same time I cannot expect you—when you pro bably find that stable manure answers your purpose—to go to a great expense in the purchase of guano. But I am prepared to do so, and will willingly devote a por tion of my land to make experiments, under the superin tendence of a committee of the most intelligent of my tenants. (Cheers.) And so with respect to other clas ses of manures, by applying them on different parts of the land, and then submitting the results for the benefit of the tenantry. There is another mode by which the landlord may render important services while thus co-operating with his tenantry. On a late occasion, and in a neighbouring city, I alluded to the subject of leases and said that if any tenants of mine felt that by an ex tension of their leases their confidence would be in creased, and if they would apply to me with that view, I should be disposed to give a favourable ear to such ap plication. lam of the same opinion now, and beg dis tinctly to repeat it. That is not an empty declaration, for in the case of the only application yet made to me I have granted a lease—it was to a new tenant, whose professed object was the improvement of the soil. He had a capital sufficient to undertake such improvements —which I think every landlord ought to require —(hear.) I granted a 19 years' lease, with the stipulation that for the first seven years a reduced rent should be paid, and for the remaining twelve years the same rent as had hitherto been paid. There is another matter I wish to advert to, in which the landlord has the opportunily of effecting much improvement—l mean in the regulation of game. (Hear.) There are few more eager sports men than I ; but seeing the competition to which I am convinced the farmer is exposed, and must look forward to, it is certainly the duty of every landlord to make some sacrifice of personal pleasure for the purpose of affording a convenience to his tenants. (Cheers.) 1 believe the damage done by an abundance of game is chiefly by hares and rabbits. The occupier does not sustain much loss from partridges and pheasants, but by rabbits and hares. I have no hesitation in saying that I shall be pleased if not one single rabbit is allowed to remain on my estate. I do everything for their des truction. And with regard to hares, I would willingly forego the sport ; and if any tenant of mine will inform me that the hares exist on his farm in such numbers as to do him serious damage I will immediately give orders for their destruction. THE NECESSARY CAPITAL FOR A FARM."" Let no one venture on a farm," says Mr. Low, " without having a sufficient capital to work it, which from long experience, I compute to be about £6 per acre : that is, £9OO money in hand, if his firm be 150 acres, and £1,500 if the farm be 250 acres, and £3,000 if it be 500 acres. The follow ing five will be the heads of his certain expenditure for the first year :—I. Implements, £1 per acre ; 2. Live stock, £3 per acre ; 3. Labour, £1 per acre ; 4. Seeds and manure which last he must take of the outgoing tenant,) £1 per acre : total £6." SUICIDE AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—OD Sunday night, about sis o'clock, Mr. Hastie, a surgeon residing in Broughton-place, Edinburgh, who had recently re• turned trom abroad ; since which he has for a short period been in a state of mental derangement and in confinement, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. He was in the house alone with a female servant, and previous to the attempt, locked the door and hid the keys. He then entered his bedroom, where he accomplished his purpose, and immediately came out streaming with blood, and the razor in his hand, with which he mode an attempt to cut the throat of his servant also. She, however, wrested the instrument from him, not, however, before he was much weakened by the loss of blood, and had her hand severely cut. The inhabitants of the vicinity were made aware of the catastrophe by the loud screams of the female, and her calls of " Help, help, burst open the door —he is dying—he is dying—he is dead." The servant was seen at a window, struggling with her master, and partly outside, upon an iron balcony. Some persons immediately broke open the panels of the door ; but ny this time the life of the unfortunate gentleman was at the last ebb from loss of blood.—Edinburgh Evening Post. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—This institution has obtained a new charter of incorporation, with increased powers, under the title of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. The principal features thereof consist in the creation of a new class of members, to be called fel lows, who, with the exception of those first elected, must be 25 years of age, pass a special examination, and pay an admission fee of 30 guineas. To this body is to be in trusted the election of the council, which is to consist of 24 members, three of whom (those who have been longest on the council) are to go out of office annually, but are eligible for re-election. No general practitioner, even if he be a fellow, is eligible for the council, nor any pure surgeon who resides beyond five miles from the General Post-office. Should any councillor practice pharmacy or midwifery, he becomes ipso facto liable to removal from the council. The present members of the council are to ' be life members, and to be at once admitted as fellows, the specific number of 300 being made up by their selec tion from among the members. If any vacancy occur during the year, a substitute shall be elected to hold office for the remaining term of duty of the person whose place he supplies. The election of councillors must be by the personal voting of the fellows, 15 of whom must be pre sent to form a meeting. if any eligible fellow be twice passed by, or, when hallotted far, not be elected, he will lose his eligibility of election. A certificate of recommen dation, signed by a given number of fellows, stating that the candidate is a fit and proper person to be a member of the council, and particularly that he does not now, nor has within five years, practised pharmacy or midwifery, and resides within five miles of the General Post-office, is requisite previous to election. The present court of examiners to continue for life, their places being filled up, as vacancies occur, by the council. The privilege of the sergeant-surgeons, and the surgeon-general of the forces, to be admitted examiners in preference to others, is abro gated by this charter. The president and vice-presidents are to be elected from the council. Any diploma obtained by fraud or misrepresentation to be void, on proof thereof. —Observer. WITCHCRAFT REVIVED.—CURIOUS TRIAL.—A wo man was last month tried at Dingwall, before Sheriff Jardine and a Jury, on a charge connected with the almost exploded belief in witchcraft. In 1836, Donald Matheson, a small farmer residing in Stratbconan, having lost some of his sheep by death and other causes, applied for ad. vice to a divining woman or sorceress, named Catherine Beaton, the itife of a sawyer at Dingwall. He travelled thirty miles on this important mission, and Mrs. Camp bell having duly weighed the circumstance of the case, told him that there was great trouble coming to his house, through a woman who lived in his neighbourhood, and who had consulted Miss Hay of Inverness—a once noted sor ceress—for means to carry out her intentions. Fortunately, however, Mrs. Campbell could avert the machinations of all wicked women, and the means were very simple. " Bring me a pou n d note," she said, " I will tie it up in a parcel, which you must take home, and your wife must place it under her pillow while she sleeps. After this re. turn to me with the pal - at], when you will get the pound note as good as before. onald immediately borrowed the money from a meal dealer, and delivering it to the skilful woman, had it " charmed," and tied up. He trudg. ed homewards, plumping himself on his sagacity and foresight, and his wife duly slept on the packet as desired. In a day or two, however, female curiosity got the better of her superstitious dread, and she opened the mysterious packet. The pound note was gone, and in its place were found some sand, rags, and a piece of paper. Donald then returned to Dingwall to claim his money, but the sorceress was inexorable—nothing could be obtained from he:. The " charm " was unavailing and the money was gone. Another deception was practised by Mrs. Camp_ bell. A widow in Lochbroom, named Elizabeth Murchi son. about ten or eleven weeks ago, lost a sum of two pounds. She consulted the diviner as to the restoration of her money, when she was told to provide herself with other two pounds. This was done—Mrs. Campbell ut tered some words over the money—and the widow, at her request, spat upon the parcel in the name of Providence! 'the widow was charged not to touch the parcel till Mrs. Campbell would return the following morning; and she was further informed that, if she did not sleep during the night she would see a person come and place the two younds which had bee stolen, in the window. The honest thief, however, did not appear to replace the money, mi. ther did the sorceress return, and the parcel being opened was found to contain merely some crumbs of bread. These facts being fully established in evidence, Sheriff Jardine sentenced Mrs. Campbell to three months' imprisonment. The worthy Sheriff, at the same time, remarked on the ice that so absurd a superstitio n the people in these days of intel- Y Id stilt linger nmo 'Tis tn Courier. —lnverness linSfrona th THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Standard-office, Three o'clock, THE LATE STORM. We have been favoufed by a sight of a letter from a respectable individual, dated Southport, this morning, in which the writer states that four bodies from some of the wrecks on that part of the coast were washed up last night. The writer adds—" One of the vessels is a roaster from Ireland, and the people here were carting flour and butter yesterday that had been washed up." LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, THIS DAY (From Messrs. IL Makin & Sons' Circular.) The arrivals up to and since Friday's market furnish, into this port and Runcorn, a good supply of Wheat, Oats, and Flour, with an abundant increase of Oatmeal from Ireland, including a few small parcels of Grain coastwise; those in from abroad, since this day week, containing 1500 qrs. Wheat from Odessa, 450 qrs. Wheat, and 761 qrs. Pease from Danzig, with 3298 barrels of Ca. nadian and States Flour. Having no recent impulse from other markets to en liven the proceedings here, the trade for Wheat this morning opened and continued rather heavily throughout, the millers still buying very sparingly and having no spe culative inquiries to-day; so that with the exception of a few parcels of foreign, taken for Ireland, the sales were very unimportant, and at a decline of ld. to 2d. per 701bs. for most descriptions of Irish and foreign ; English Wheats, however, were not obtainable under the rates of this day week. Flour, both English and Irish, was diffi cult to s?,11 at Is. per sack below the terms last noted; and States, as well as Canadian, was little noticed to-day. Barley, upon a moderate demand, was rather dearer for grinding, and malting samples fully maintained late prices. Malt remained steady in value ; Beans and Pease con tinuing to rule nearly the same as stated in foregoing report. Oats, although not generally in request, several cargoes were cleared off by one or two buyers, at prices varying little from our last quotations. Oatmeal, notwithstanding the large supply at hand, was 6d. per load dearer and in good demand. ARRIVALS OF CORN From the 24th to the 30th Oct., 1843, inclusive I IRE- WISE. CANADA LAND. I REIGN.

EMINENT LAWYERS The following is a list of some of the eminent lawyers of the last and present age : Lords Eldon and Stowell—sons of a barge-maker and small coal-dealer, at Newcastle- under-Lyne. Lord Stowell borrowed £4O to go the circuit, and both sup ported themselves for a time by their talents as private tutors. Lord Tenterden—son of a barber at Canterbury : he received an eleemosynary education, but obtained the means to go to college: while there, he enjoyed from a company in the city of London an exhibition of £3 per annum, until he took his degree. Some years since, in dining with the company, he alluded to the circumstance, and expressed his gratitude. Lord Gifford—prior to his being called to the bar, was articled to a solicitor near Exeter. His rise was owing chiefly to the interest of the Msrchioness of Conyngbam, to whom he was distantly related. Lord Langdale, the Master of the Rolls—not very long since an accoucheur, and married a daughter of :Lord Orford, whose family he had attended. Sir John Williams, one of the Judges of the Queen's Bench—son of a horse-dealer in Yorkshire. Solicitor-General Wylde—an attorney in the city, in co-partnership with Mr. Knight : his brother is now an attorney on College-hill, Bread-street. Mr. Serjeant Talfourd—son of a brewer at Reading, received the rudiments of his education at the Protestant Dissenters' Grammar-school, at Mill-hill, near Hendon, and at that time wrote for the public press. He com pleted his studies with Dr. Valpy, of Reading. Sir Frederick Pollock, and his brother, Mr. David Pollock—the sons of a saddler, now Messrs. Cuff's esta blishment, near Charing-cross. Mr. Baron Gurney —his mother kept a small book shop for pamphlets in a court in the city ; his brother is short-hand writer to the House of Lords of Commons. The Baron was originally of the denomination called Bap fists. and for many years attended a Baptist chapel in Maize-pond, in the Borough. Lord Campbell, the late Attorney-General, and son-in law of Lord Abinger—reporter to a daily paper, at a time when such labour wes worse paid than at present. Mr. Serjeant Spankie was one of his colleagues. James Stephens, Esq., the Master in Chancery, was a reporter. Almost all the Judges sent out to the colonies were reporters. Mr. Wallace, M.P., was formerly a weaver. Sir Edward B. Sugden—son of a barber, and formerly a clerk to Mr. Groom, the conveyancer. Lord Lyndhurst —son of a painter, who died deeply in debt. Mr. Whitehurst, leading counsel of the Midland Cir cuit—son of a watchmaker at Derby. Mr. Petersdoff's father kept a furrier's shop. Mr. Clarkson, of the Old Bailey—his father was au at torney in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on its first for mation. Mr. Charlton, Queen's Counsel—his father is an attor ney, and now in practice in Chancery-lane. Chief Justice Saunders, whose precepts to this day form the best text-book to pleaders, was a beggar-boy, first taken notice of by an attorney, who employed him in his office. Lord Keuyon—an attorney's clerk. Lord Hardwicke—a peasant, and afterwards an attor ney's writer and office-boy. If the Society of Friends have lost a member by Mr. Lucas turning Catholic, they certainly have gained one in the person of Dan O'Connell, who has been a Quaker ever since the late government proclama,ion.—Argus. SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Eleven o'clock BY EXPRESS. LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM IRELAND. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, Monday, Oct. 30th. Half-past Eight o' Clock, p.m I send you a report of the proceedings at the usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association, at the Con ciliation Hall, up to its close. Mr. O'Connell moved John Molony, Esq., ex-J. P., into the chair. Mr. O'Connell proceeded to read the letter of Doctor Slattery, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cashel, en closing a subscription to the repeal funds. He cLai nete rised it as the letter of a pious prelate and true-hearted Irishman, who had never before mixed in politics, but was possessed of a powerful intellect and the greatest pa triotism. They had already two of their four archbishops declared repealers, and he was proud to rank Michael of Cashel beside John of Tuam. (Hear, and cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman handed in £lOO from Quebec, and took occasion to praise the wisdom of the British councils there. The rent for the week was announced at a late hour to amount to eleven hundred and thirty-eight pounds thirteen BhillingB and sixpence, and the meeting was then adjourned. The Evening Mail of to-night contains the following announcement, which no doubt will create some surprise when we remember the many boasts of openness and affections for all, which were hitherto so plentifully sprinkled through the agitator's discourses : A NEW FEATURE-WAR HAWK ! The future meetings of the Loyal National Repeal A.e.. sociation are to be held with closed doors! Formerly the cry was, " We court inquiry —our doors are open to all— why don't those who abuse come and listen to us," and all that kind of thing. The official notice now announces that " The usual privilege of admission on payment is suspended." " STRANGERS CANNOT BE ADMITTED." What will the law officers say to this? Eight car loads of ammunition, consisting of 250,000 hall cartridges, arrived in Limerick from Nenagh on Fri day, escorted by a party of the 52d depot, under Ensign Pelly. With reference to the unprecedented attempts which have been making to intimidate the special jurors of the city of Dublin, I subjoin the following observations from a leading article of the Evening Mail:— "We believe they will not succeed. We believe that the system suited to Kilkenny or Tipperary, and recently exemplified in Limerick, will not be found adapted' to the soil of the metropolis. Intimidation may do much, and has done much, in deterring both witnesses from appear ing on the table, and jurors from finding true verdicts ac cording to evidence before them, in districts where both were exposed to the disturbing influences of the firebrand and the bullet on the one hand, and of bribery and corruption on the other; but we should libel the courage, the integrity, the independence and loyalty of the city of Dublin, could we suppose that any motives of fear, or any temptations of profit, could induce any of the class qualified to sit on the panel to swerve f rom th e pat h o f d THE SLAVE TRADING CASE. — Yesterday Mr. Zuluetta was again brought up, and after the examination of se veral witnesses, who gave the prisoner a most excellent character, and the summing up of nr. Justice Maule, the jury after a consultation of nearly two hours found the prisoner not guilty, an announcement which was re ceived with loud clapping of hands, which could with dif ficulty be suppressed.
