The Timpo charges the government with employing unlawful means among the electors of Cordova, with, the view of preventing the return of Senor Pacheco, the opposition leader. The authorities of Toledo are accused of similar atrocities. TAIIITI.—A memorial, signed by the magistrates, the established and dissenting ministers, and persons of every religious persuasion, as well as men of political parties in Beverley, has been sent to John Towneley ' Esq., M.P., to be presented to Viscount Palmerst on , her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, requesting his lordship to use his influence, in a friendly remon strance with the government of France, on behalf of the exiled inhabitants of th e i s l an d of Tahiti ; and also re questing the French government to allow the poor people to retire, along with their Queen, to another island. Such reasonable requests cannot surely be refused. CRACOW.—The Cracow Gazette of the 17th publishes a long account of the formal taking possession of Cracow by Austria on the preceding day. A salute of 21 guns was fired, there was a service at the cathedral, and all possible demonstrations were made by the Austrian authorities. The public buildings were illuminated, but the feeling shown by the people was that of deep melancholy. The new arrangement is condemned unanimously by all the French papers ; some from a real regard to Poland, and others for the sake of embarrassing the ministry. It is becoming the general belief that a storm is rising against M. Guizot, which he will not be able to withstand. Al ready some of the papers have been obliging enough to name his successor—M. Mole. Ten years ago the province of South Australia was tenanted only by kangaroos and a few straggling natives, physically and mentally the lowest of the human race. It is at present the scene of the enterprise and energy of more than eighteen thousand individuals of English race ; :las an active and extending mining industry, a great breadth of land under cultivation. and a greater covered with flocks. It imported in 1842 from this country to the value of some £32,000, and exported in the same year to Great Britain to the value of £23,000, to Van Diemen's Land, t the value of £B,OOO. And South Australia, we learn from the Governor's financial statement of 30th June last, is in this, the tenth year of its existence, a self supporting colony. The revenue for 1846 is estimated at £42,970 ; the expenditure at £32,677. • RIOT AT BOULOGNE-SUR-MER.—On Wednesday after noon, Boulogne was the scene of complete commotion, occasioned by a shipment of cows and potatoes for Eng land. The mob would not allow them to be embarked, and a severe conflict took place between them and the po lice, during which the sous prefet, en grand tenue, the mayor and authorities, arrived ; they were received with a volley of stones and potatoes, several of which feli heavily upon some of the great men in office. The sous prefet had his order torn from his breast and was nearly killed. During the time the authorities were seeing the potatoes put on bcard the Britannia steamer, a ludicrous farce took place ; some boys and women cut the ropes to which twenty-five cows were attached ; the beasts being set at liberty, some were driven into the water, and others hooted and pelted about the town, to the terror of the in- . habitants. The mob, about seven in the evening, paraded the streets, singing the Marseillaise, and when they ar rived in the Rue de l'Eau, opposite the mayor's house, they began breaking his windows. The magistrate ran out of his house, sword in hand, and if the national guard (horse) had not suddenly come up, the worthy mayor would hive been severely handled. Mr. Adam, the mayor, has received several anonymous letters, stating that un less he prevents the exportation potatoes he must suffer the consequence. If a stop is not put to the exportation, it is feared serious, and, perhaps, fatal consequences will arise. The town is at present quiet, and several of the ringleaders have been arrested. THE JEWS IN POLAND.—WARSAW, Nov. 6.—Since the Ist of October, the memorable day on which the Jews in the kingdom, by laying aside their national costume, made the first step towards civilisation, has afforded us many comical scenes through the uncomfortable position in which the Jews have been placed by it. From all the great cities of the kingdom respectable looking Jews ar rived in all the splendour of their most costly silk pelisses trimmed with sable, with their beards and ringlets in the best order to obtain a delay at least for some years ; but they had come to meet their ill fate, for they were here de prived of their silk pelisses, their beards, and - their locks by some barbers, who had received the orders of the po lice, and the poor disgraced Jews stole clandestinely out of the citi. A. few days ago a similar event took place, which excited no little sensation, in the remotest part of the country, where " Chapictism" exercises its powerful influence on the demoralization of the Jews. A company, consisting of 80 men, with their Rabbi at their head, ar rived at the gates of our city, in order to obtain from the Prince-Governor permission to retain their old costume. That so strange a company, which might be distinguished at a distance by their strange gesticulations, was not per. mitted to enter the city without inquiry, may be conceived. General A--, the chief of the police, being informed of the strange party before the city, ordered that they should be immediately put under a good escort to the police of fice ; and there, that without speaking a word to them, their beards and locks should be cut off, and their pelisses s lit up behind. In half an hour the poor people felt the cold air on their bald unprotected faces, and when they recovered from their consternation, they found themselves again at the ga t es o f Warsaw, whither they had been con veyed. They bad now no further desire than to be allowed to take the clippings of their beards home, that they might bury them in their cemetery. These, however, were dis persed to all points of the compass, and the travellers had now nothing more to do in Warsaw than to satisfy the barber's apprentices who came for their pay.

We last week dwelt upon the United States incursions into Mexico ; and although we have no more recent ac- graceful inroad of the States troops into the heart of Mexico, our anxiety now is to develop the deep-laid scheme which has been practised by the cabinet of Washington. The warfare had been in'ended to be carried forward by [ey wen rorce, concentrate transports, and men, who sailed rounc on arriving at California, they quietly took p-ssess _ the two ports there, San Francesco and Monterey, and t States flag now floats, till the united zeal of Montezuma ords of the pleasures of Hope, will yet cry aloud— a season bade the world farewell And Freedom shoo The emigrants who took their departure for this place by land, all the male portion of whom were remarkably well armed, had different places of rendevous, which they hard ma Many of them have already arrived, and no doubt are to 3e the useful tools of brother Jonathan, in fighting his )tittles, and colonizing this now fertile country, the ex - hick would admit of constant emigration for some years to come.

General Kearney lately, with a large command, amount ing to at least 3000 men, proceeded from the States with this army, and we recently bear that he had not only as cerded, but had entered Saint Fee without opposition where he quietly ensconced himself within the walls proclaimed himself governor—entered the palace—de manded allegiance in the name of his government from the Alcade and other civil citizens, and hoisted the star spangled banner. • We last week left General Taylor in the mountains at Monterey, where already instructions had been given from rnment to prosecute the war with vigour ; but we his army has about entered that trap from which he first parliamentary or cheap train was on its way from Manchester to Leeds, on Monday, a guard fell from one of the carriages, and both his legs were severed from his body. He is since dead they were. I On Sunday week atr n left Preston for the south without a single passenger. A similar event is declared never to have happened before, but it does not say much in favour of any very great necessity (not to mention the morality of the question) for Sunday trains. , The platform onthe arrival side of the Euston-square Station has been lengthened 550 feet ; and when the car riage -shed has been removed, there will be a continuous arrival platform of 980 feet in length, affording room for about 60 carriages, or five trains of average length. On Tuesday morning, the mail train near Stcckport ran at full speed into a coal train, causing much destruction of property, besides personal injury. No lives were lost, but several persons were seriously injured, among others a clergyman who is variously described as Curry and Cassidy. The" Comparion to the British Almanac" for 1847 states that, making allowances for cases of possible dis appointment, it is probable that the railway openings of 1846 will amount to between 600 and 700 miles.

DESCRIPTION OF CRACO loch, " is a small and nominally independent state of Central Europe, formerly part of the kingdom of Poland ; having N. and E. Poland; W. Prussi,,n Silesia ; and S. Gallicia. Length, E. to W. forty-six miles; breadth, varying from five to fifteen miles; area, 488 square miles. Population (1837), 131,462, of whom 37,027 belong to the city. The budget voted for the three years, from 1831 to 1841, fixed the annual revenue and expenditure at 4:45,300. At the Congress of Vienna, in 1815, the territory was created into an independent neutral republic, under the protection of Russia, Austria, and Prussia..... But, since 1826, the city has been garrisoned by Austrian troops ; and the government is substantially and in fact adminis tered by the resident agents of Austria, Russia, and Prussia. And this, in truth, is the only result that could have been anticipated. No doubt it would be desirable (we do not know that) to have small independent states like this scattered up and down the continent, to serve as foci for the diffusion of political information (and rebel lion), is asylums to which persecuted individuals (and traitors) might resort, and as depots for foreign produce. But the circumstances that make the formation of such states desirable," continues Mr. M'Culloch, "are quite sufficient to hinder them from ever having any real ex istence. Is it to be imagined that the governments of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, should be so inattentive to their own interests (and security) as to permit a state like Cracow, on the very borders of their territories, to become an asylum for individuals obnoxious to them, (that is, plotting the overthrow of their respective governmenta,) and where the latter might prosecute their projects in safety? To suppose such a thing would be tolerated is absurd. How long should we permit a similar state to exist on the confines of our Indian empire? And have the Russians, Prussians, and Austrians less cause for jealousy." LAW INTELLIGENCE. In the Court of Common Fleas, Mr. Coltman delivered judgement in the case Flight v. Gibbs. It was to the ef fect that Alderman Gibbs had not been legally elected Churchwarden of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, in 1844. On Tuesday, Lord Chancellor Cottenham did not at tend Court, in consequence of there being no more busi ness before him undisposed of. The same thing occurred once in Lord Brougham's time, and once in Sir Thomas More's time; but never, we believe, before or since. However, the existence of three Vice Chancellors makes the occurrence now nothing very wonderful. In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Tuesday, the rule for a criminal information against Mr. Busfeild Ferrand was made absolute. It was obtained by Mr. Lewis, one of the Poor-law Commissioners, for a libel in a•letter to the Times newspaper, charging that gentleman with a conspiracy to send a false report to Sir James Graham, of proceedings in the Keighley Union, to upset Mr. Per rands statement in the House of Commons. PRIVILEGE OF A MARRIED WOMAN.—In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Thursday, an action to recover an upholstery bill was tried, in which the defendant pleaded that she was married, and that her husband was living, althouglrshe had been long separated from him. To this it was answered, that she represented herself to be a widow when she obtained the goods. Lord Denman told the jury the only question they had to try was, whether or not the defendant was a married woman. The jury, being satisfied that she was, found a verdict for the de fendant. HAS A NUN CIVIL RIGHTS?—The following para graph makes reference to a law-suit pending in Ireland at the present time :—" A curious question is now pending before the Irish Chancellor, whether a nun can has e civil rights, or whether she be not absolutely dead in the eye of the law. The case is M'Carthy v. M'Carthy. All parties are Roman Catholics ; and Sir Colman O'Lough lin, a Roman Catholic barrister, will argue in support of the proposition which bars the enjoyment of the claim." If our Protestant State gives a legal sanction to the usages of the Church of Rome, then the deluded creature whose case is in Chancery can have no more civil rights than if she had been dead twenty years before. We be lieve a part of the ritual employed in nun making is a kind of funeral service—a requiem over ore utterly dead to the world, and separated from all its requirements, du ties, and sympathies. It is of the very nature of such a condition that the novice should be prepared to make so absolute a renunciation. But wl ether the State—Great Britain, the land of Cranmers, and Ridleys, and Knoxes— will legitimate the heartrending, unnatural rules of mo nachism, is another matter. It is surprising the question should be mooted at all. What have our courts of law to do with the senical—rather farcical—death of Romish perverts in disposing of questions of property ?—Edin burgh Post. THE CORN-LAWS AND RENTS TILE DEPLORABLE EFFECTS OF THE REPEAL OF THE CORN LAWS.— We understand that at the Michaelmas audits of the Right Hon. Lord Feversham, held at Helmsley and Kirbymoor side, last week, not one of his lordship's numerous tenantry made default, and that there was not a single arrear.—York shireman. We hope we shall never have worse "effects " to deplore from " the repeal of the Corn Laws ;" but the " York shiretnan" doesn't exhibit the customary shrewdness of his shire if he supposes people can be gulled by a para graph like this. The destruction of the potato crop has given an accidental value to corn, and through a favour able harvest the haggards of the farmer are well filled with wheat. He has then the unusual conjunction of a high price and a large produce, and hecause with this double advantage.he is able to pay his rent, we are to ac cept " the repeal of the Corn Laws " as a boon for which we, says the Cork Constitution, should be grateful! Under a potato pestilence, corn will no doubt command a price that will enable the grower both to live and to pay his rent; but how will it be when the potato is (as it may again be) abundant, and when consequently corn, from the diminished demand, may bring little more than half its present rate ? What will the Yorkshireman say then ? However, the farmers are paying their rent, and if our contemporary owns any, let him take them, and be thank ful. It is more, we assure him, than he wouln have an opportunity of doing if be lived in Ireland. Here the rents are carried, not to the landlord, but to the bank. There they are lodged, and thence, as we remarked last week, they will in all probability be drawn in spring, to be car ried by the defaulters to Canada, or Sydney, or New York. All this time the land lies unfilled, and the plundered landlord, while struggling to support the labourer.through the scarcity of this year. is lett to look forward to the famine of the next. This, friend Yorkshire, is the way in which things go on in Ireland; but we are not, though the conclusion would be as allowable as yours, inclined to proclaim it as the effect" of " the repeal of the corn laws."—Cork Constitution. rd through an accident, on the lleri on the 18th of October, 1845.

The second-class passengers for 1841 were 386,106, but fur the year 1845 they numbered 726,332. For the year 1841 the third-class passengers were 69,713, but for 1845 they were 330,258. While the first-class passengers increased nearly about 25 per cent., the second•class increased nearly 100 per cent., and the third class nearly 500 per cent. ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.—On Thurs day week the train due at 6.40 p.m. ran off the line about a quarter of a mile on the Rugby side of Ullesthorpe ; it again got on the rails at the crossings at Ullesthorpe, but, some of the wagons having got injured, tore up the rails for a distance of more than half a mile, which caused about thirty wagons to be thrown off, and completely ob structed both lines of rail. The damage the Midland Company will sustain must amount to some thousands — upwards of 20 wagons are a complete wreck, and goods to an immense value completely damaged, consisting of hops, tea, fruit, hogsheads of gin, wine, brandy, &c. PRESTON AND WYRE. — The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Fleetwood on Wed nesday. At the meeting in April, Mr. Cottam was ap pointed to audit the accounts, and from his statement it appeared that now, after deducting from income all the expenses belonging to the half-year ending 31st August, a lellance of £lO,OOO remains sufficient to pay a dividend of 14s. 2d. per share on the old shares; and on the half shares A, of ls, 5d., being after the rate of £5 13s. 2d. per annum. and a dividend of that amount was declared. —The directors were empowered to raise further capital for a branch line from Lytham to Blackpool. MANCHESTER AND LEEDS.—A special general meet ing of the shareholders in this line was held at Manches ter, on Wednesday. The number of directors was in. creased to thirty-six, and power was given to create new shares in the company, in compliance with the provisions and powers of the several acts incorporating the company of proprietors of the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Canal Navigation and Railway, and the Liverpool and Buy Railway, respectively, with this company. Discretionary powers were also conferred upon the directors to enter into arrangements with any other railway company which they might deem beneficial. EXTRAORDINARY DISAPPEARANCE.-A very extraor dinary event has just taken place in the works connected with the Scottish Central Railway. It was necessary to erect an embankment fifty feet high in a field near Allan Bridge, where the railway was to pass. The works ac cordingly commenced, and many thousand loads of earth were piled in the requisite place, and the work was leftlfor the purpose of acquiring solidity, hut upon visiting it again it was found to have disappeared, with the exception of a few feet. On inquiry it was found that the field had ori ginally been a hog, and the weight of the soil necessary to form the embankment had broken through the external solid earth. ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW.—On Friday night an occurrence of a very serious character took place on this railway. The half past eight o'clock train from Edinburgh having reached the \Vinchburgh cut, the engine suddenly came into vio lent collision with a mass of rock which had slipped down the southern embankment and fallen upon the line. The effect was to throw the engine across both rails, and pro duce a fearful concussion of the carriages. The engine was dashed to pieces, and several of the carriages damaged; but we are happy to say that none of the passen.ters suffered it - jury. The driver and stoker were thrown off the engine, and escaped with some slight bruises. LABOUR REQUIRED NOR RAILWAYS.-At the meeting of the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company, on Wednesday last, Mr. Houldsworth, the chairman, calcu culated that the railways for which legislative sanction had already been granted, and which are not formed. will require the employment of 500,000 men for ten years, supposing that this number could be withdrawn from the general labour market of the country, which is the maxi mum that can be withdrawn. He estimated the maximum cost of the railways now in the course of formation, or for which acts have been got,in Great Britain, at £200,000,000, of which £160,000,000 will have to be expended on those in England, and of this £160,000,000, the sum of £120,060,000 will be spent for labour. - . . Not one of the least . interesting features of the electric telegraph, in the case of accident, is its power to explain delay and appease suspense, even should a catastrophe occur at 100 or 200 mike away. Take an instance : " Train off the line at Rugby (said A. B. at Newcastle, wl.o had gone to fetch the mail the other day), and won't arrive till one." It is useful, too, for convivialities. Two of the legal profession meeting accidentally at Leicester, one invited the other to dinner; but the invited excused himself, saying, " I've to see Hudson, at York, to-day." " Oh," said the other, " Hudson mayn't be at Lome ; but, stay, we'll ask the telegraph I" The lawyers linked arms, ascertained, by a whisper from York. that Mr. Hudson " was not at home," having been suddenly sum moned to London, and made themselves at home in Lei cester.—Railway Chronicle. EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY.—This company has given notice of the following lines :—A branch railway from the main line at Accrington to Clitheroe, and from near Whalley to Padiham, with a branch to unite with the Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding line, near the village of Mitton. A branch from the main line at Orms kirk to Southport ; and an extension of the Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston, and the Blackburn and Preston lines of the East Lancashire Railway into Preston, with an independent station accommodation !here. A line for the better connecting the East Lancashire and Manclesl ter and Leeds Railway in the town of BLrnley . Ce r t a i n deviations in the line of the East Lancashire Railway at Lomb, Haslingion, and Rawtenstall, with a short coal branch at the latter place. An extension of the East Lancashire Railway from a point south of the town of Bury, through Whitfield. LIABILITY OF PROVISIONAL COMNIITTF. MEN.-- IMPORTANT DECISION.—In the Court of Exchequer, on WedneAay, the chief Baron delivered judgment in the cases of Reynell v. Lewis, and Wyld v. Hopkins, both actions against provisional railway committee men, in which verdicts were given for the plaintiffs, the applica tion for the court being for new triats. His lordship held that the mere fact of a man being a member of a provi sional committee was not sufficient of itself to render him liable for the Jebts of the company, as it amounted to no more than a promise of co-operation. Such a promise did not constitute an agreement to share in the profit or loss of the undertaking, whatever that might be; which was the real essence of partnership. He could not be re sponsible as a mere member of the committee. If, how ever, the provisional committee appointed an acting com mittee to act on their behalf, and be their agent, then the members of the provisional committee would clearly be liable for the acts of the acting committee. As to soli citors, there were various questions which must be deter. mined by the circumstances of each case, the particular terms of the prospectus, and the reasonable inferences to be drawn therefrom. A new trial was granted in both cases. UNIVERSITY 4- CLERICAL NEWS, A Protestant Association is about to be formed at Cambridge. A preliminary meeting has been held, of which a full report is given in the Cambridge Advertiser.

The Exeter Protestant Committee have passed a vote of confidence in Sir J. Duckworth, and of no confidence in Mr. Divett, the latter member having supported the MHynooth Endowment Bill. The Venerable Archdeacon Shirley has been appointed the new Bishop of Sodor and Man. The Archdeacon is a member of New College, Oxford, and had previously been appointed Bampton Lecturer for that University for 1817. The venerable Archdeacon is a sterling Protestant, and therefore warmly attached to the church. His pre sent charge is the Arcndeaconry of Derby. Mr. Bales, a contra-tenor singer of Carlisle Cathedral, has been appointed, from out of thirteen competitors, to the choir of Durham Cathedral, at a salary of £lOO per annum, with prospective increase.

He possesses a warm, affectionate heart—his whole life has been characterised by acts of the most unobtrusive piety— and his disposition is amiable almost to a fault. We have no doubt his reluctance to accept a seat on the epis- copal bench arises from a purely conscientious distrust (though no one who knows him well will be of the same opinion) as to his proper discharge of the solemn respon sibilities of that sacred office. CHURCH PASTORAL-AID SOCIETY.—At the meetingof the general committee, on the s'h inst., three new grants were made for additional curates; three in aid of the in comes of incumbents of new districts, with endowments from £45 to £56; one towards the stivend of a chaplain for the labourers on the Melton and Stamford Railway ; four for lay assistants, one of whom is appointed to labour among the men employed on the Reading and Newbury Railway ; and two small grants towards the fitting up of rooms to be licensed for public worship in populous districts. The twelve grants amounted to £586. At the same meeting twenty-two grants for curates, and two for lay assistants were renewed, amounting to £2007. The society now aids 316 incumbent•, having under their ministerial charge a population of 2,197,000; or each, on an average, 6895 souls. The average amount of the in comes of these incumbents is only £l9B, and one hundred and sixty of them are withotft a parsonage.huuse. The existing grants provide stipends for 301 clergymen and 72 lay assistants, calling for an expenditure of £33,150, when all these grants shall be in operation ; 235 clergy men and 65 lay assistants ❑ow engaged in their import ant labours, are supported by this society, at an expense estimated at £26,865 per annum. The azplications before the committee have increased to thirty•seven, twenty five of which are for stipends for clergymen, and twelve for lay assistants, calling for a further sum of £2490 per annum to provide the requisite stipends. THE COURT 4- FASHIONABLE WORLD, The Court still remains at Osborne House in the Isle of Wight, but for the last few days the inclemency of the season has almost weather-bound the Queen and the other members of the Royal family from their habitual out-door exercise. It is said that her Majesty has given orders for the im mediate preparation of apartments in Windsor Castle, in case the Queen of Portugal and the King-Consort, first cousin of his !Royal Highness the Prince Albert, should find it a'visable to avail themselves of British hospita lity. Arrangements are also made for the reception of their majesties' four sons and two daughters. The Earl and Countess of Ellesmere left Belgrave-square on Friday, for Ratchford House, near Cobham. His Royal Highness Prince Louis Napoleon, accompa nied by his cousin, a son of the late King of Westphalia, the Hon. Miss Dc Selis, and Sir John and Lady Gerard, was in Liverpool last week. The distinguished party, af ter partaking of a luncheon at the Adelphi Hotel, visited the Town-hall, Hausburg's Bazaar, several of the princi pal shops, and the Royal mull steamer Cambria. His Royal Highness was on a visit to Sir John Gerard, at New Hall. FASUIONS FOR NOVEMBER (From the " London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.") Gauzes Constantine, Aixa f6fonnes, Siam crapes, Mousselines Luisa Fernanda bare'ges Haytleee, with organdys, tulles, &c., are the fashionable materials of full dress; for walking and nvli.ol plaids of every dimension, checked foulards, taffetas chinois in stripes or waves ; taffetas mauves shot with lilac, green taffetas shot with a different tint of the same co our, and pe'le'rines of two contrasting colours, are all much worn. In silk materials the corsages are frequently made with the corsage open in front, having collar and revers turned back and con fined by brandenbourgs and tassels, which reach to the bottom of the skirt. Neglige'dresses are without point, and when they close behind have narrow ceintures and buckles ; they may also have revers from the shoulder to the waist. and ladies wishing to wear high corsages in evening dress, have the revers covered with lace. Fur at this season is used to ornament dresses as much as for out-door costume. Chinchilla and sables are the most fashionable furs this season. Manfelets and visiles of Chinchilla are very elegant. Manteaux, mantelets, cha telaines, visites, pardessus, are all now in request with the newest styles, the rouliere, the Garrick, Manteau Grec, Infanta, and Moorish. The bonnets most approved have the forms a little spre , d, and rather deep at the ears, forming a circle round the face and hair. Black velvet bonnets are almost confined to the promenade. The more elegant ones are of plain coloured velvets; many of emerald green are lined with a lighter shade of green. All shades of gray are fashionable, with ornaments in cerise colour. Ca poles d coulisses of satin are trimmed with velours ipingle: Ostrich feathers are much worn, but not long, merely the tips. Coloured lace is also used corresponding to the colour of the bonnet, a fauchon of velvet, the same as the bonnet, edged with black or white lace is pretty on neglige'bonnets. Capotes of satin are ornamented with biais of velvet ; dark bonnets are often lined with pale colours. Caps of the Pompadour style, the Genevieve, the Marguerite, the Fauchon are fashionable. Hats of satin, and velvet, and historical coiffure: are in favour ; pretty little coiffures, merely ornamenting the top of the head are made of gold ribbon and black lace. The most novel style are the pointes, or half squares, biais de fiche'es of application lace, &c., intended to imitate the coiffures of the age of Marie Steuart. They are also used for bonnets of either satin or velvet, covering the crown, the corners uniting by a bunch of flowers, or nwuds of ribbon. THE CHASE Sir W. M.

In its last number, the organ of " Young Ireland" deplores " the decline and fall" of i man and a party to which it once looked for the regenera Lion of the country. The Marquis of Londonderry has published a letter to his Irish agent, in which he states, that not only does he not intend to make any reduction in rents, but that he dis approves and objects to others doing so. It is only fair to the Noble Marquis to state, that his lands are let at moderate rents, and"that his tenantry, as a body, are th e most respectable, and in point of circumstances, perhaps the wealthiest in Ireland. A number of noblemen, including Lord Roden, Earl of Shannon, Earl Enniskillen, have retired from the Royal Irish Agricultural Society, in consequence of a resolution excluding po,itical matters from discussion having been lately rescinded. The resolution was rescinded by the O'Connell party to open the door to an agitation for a re peal of the union. At a meeting on the 12th inst., how ever, a strong effort will be made to restore the rule in question. The peasantry of the south of Ireland are purchasing arms and ammunition openly, eagerly, and to an extent almost inconceivable. In Enniskillen the demand is so great that the shopkeepers have commenced the traffic. and are unable to keep pace with the call upon them, and even the manufacturers in Birmingham cannot supply their Irish customers ; while in the town of Virginia, in Cavan, an immense quantity of fire-arms were sold by public auction on the fair day. AFFECTING SCENE.-Our reporter, writing from Clonakilty on Wednesday, says 1 was never so deeply moved es to-day.

The sittings of the body occupied three days, and the most perfect harmony characterised the whole meeting. The Grand Lodge of Ireland embraces amongst its members men who heave never flinched from the discharge of their duty.

AWFUL DEATHS IN SLlGO.—Extract of a letter from Sligo, dated Saturday, 21st November :—" Three more awfully sudden deaths occurred in Sligo yesterday. Mrs. Wynne (the collector's lady) was dressing in her roum yesterday morning for church; she pulled the bell, and when the servant went into her room, Mrs. Wynne said, Oh, my head !' and dropped dead on the floor. Three physicians were in attendance as quickly as possible, but their exertions proved unavailing. Mrs. Hudson (a ship broker's wife at the quays) was found dead in her bed yesterday morning, and a Mrs. Ormsby Hudson dropped dead at her hall-door last night. Her husband is the per son who keeps the Repeal reading-room." OUTRA.GES.—On Saturday week an attack was made on the house of Mr. Hackett, near Clonfert, by no less than fourteen men ; a servant was mortally wounded, and the house plundered of fire-arms. In Tipperary the house of A. G. Richardson, Esq., was attacked, and that gentle. man had a narrow escape of being murdered, the shot having passed over his head, and shattered the window of the room in which he then was. In addition to those, we have the usual staple outrages of highway. robberies, plundering of flour, assaults ; and in one instance at Westport, an assemblage of sixty persons, many of them armed, deliberately levelled a pound, and presented their guns at the pound keeper for daring to take in cattle dis trained for rent. DUBLIN MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.—The annual elec tion for a town councillor for each of the fifteen wards in Dublin, was held on Wednesday. The only remarkable feature in the day's proceedings was, the rejection of Mr. O'Connell's candidates. Mr. Barlow, who was denounced by the Liberator as a Young Irelander, was returned for the College ward, by a majority of 108 to 72. His oppo nent, Mr. Kilch, has published an address, in which he attributes his defeat, and that of the professors of moral force, to a combination of the Young Ireland party with " the rampart Tories of the ward." Mr. Andrew Rus sell Snitch, also fortified by the recommendation of the Liberator, was beaten by a Conservative, Mr. Walker, in St. George's ward. Mr. Arabin and all the others were returned without opposition. APATHY OF REPEALERS.—Tbe repeal rent has dwind led this week to so low a figure as £54185. Bd. It is absurd to ascribe this steady progression downwards wholly to the pressure of famine. When nearly two millions of the ordinary contributors to the repeal fund are now in con stant employment, at the rate of from six to nine shillings a week, it is not to beleved that were confidence unshaken, and hope unabated, a fair average contribution might not be levied off the country. The class whose payments chiefly supported the repeal finances was the very hum blest. The "copper" contributions were the strength of the rent, and this support has lately disappeared ; and that, too, at the very time when the wages of labour, from which it was drawn, have risen to nearly treble their or dinary average. REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—The regular meeting of this body was held on Monday in the Conciliation Hall. There was a most numerous attendance in every part of the building. Alter a little preliminary business. Mr. O'Connell said he was prepared to bring up his report upon the disunion existing amongst Repealers, and in doing so, wished to say that no man was more anxious than he was that the friends of Ireland should be joined hand in hand to restore to her her parliament; but he believed it was impossib!e, for it would be seen by tue report be was about reading that the question between the Old and 1 oung Ireland parties was, in point of fact, should the Association adopt the doctrine of " physical force" or not?—(cheers.). The learned gentleman then proceeded to read the report, which was of great length, and by no means interesting, and set forth the various points at issue between the Old and Young Ireland par ties. Mr. O'Connell did•not at all allude to the exhausted state of the treasury. The rent was announced as £3-1 18s. 9d. DREADFUL FIRE AT PLYMOUTH (From the Plymouth Times of Nov. 28, 1846.) It is with considerable regret we record the occurrence, on Monday evening last, of an alarming and destructive tire, originating on the premises of Messrs. Plimsaul Brothers, ironmongers, in Buckwell-street, and which extended to several adjoining houses, and from which at one time far more serious consequences were anticipated. It appears that Mr. Plimsaul, at about eight o'clock, not residing at the establishment in Buckwell-street, turned off the gas and locked the door, and left the premises, as was believed, all safe. At about half-past nine, however, some of the neighbours and a policeman perceived smoke proceeding from some part of the premises. An alarm was immediately given, and Lieutenant Holman, the superintendent, with his usual alacrity, attended by a numerous body of the borough police, was speedily on the spot, with a view of rendering whatever assistance might be required. On the arrival of the Messrs. Piimsaul, attempts were made by Mr. B. Plimsaul to enter the premises to go down into a cellar with the view of ascertaining if means could be there taken to ex tinguish the fire, which appeared to have originated in that part of the premises, but so dense were the volumes of smoke that he was obliged to desist. There being on the premises camphine. oil, candles, turpentine, &c., and in the shop about half a dozen pounds of gunpowder, serious fears were entertained as to the possibility of pre venting the devouring element assuming its most fearful and destructive power; fortunately, however, engines and plenty of help were soon put in requisition. The County, the West of England fire engines and their respective brigades, and the engines of the Royal Marines, the Dockyard, the Citadel, the Custom -house, and the Royal Navy Hospital, were also brought to the scene of the conflagration with the u'inost de patch. The County engine, under the direction of Mr. Carkeet, the agent, and Mr. Parsons, the engine director was the first to ar rive, and took up its position so as to ply through the doorway into the shop, and was the first to commence working. The West of England engine hose was con ducted down the back lane, and James Bailey, the daunt-. less foreman of the brigade, ascended the roof of the house of Mr. Watts, tailor, and from thence continued to ply with considerable effect upon the back part of the premises. The Worshipful the Mayor of the Borough, accompanied by Mr. Coryndon, one of the Borough ma gistrates, was early in attendance and by his direction and influence rendered important service on the alarming occasion. Amongst the officers present were Col. Old., field, R.E., Col. Edwards, R at., Cap. Blundell and Lieuts. - Drew, and Hall, of the 14th Regiment, Adjutant Wright, Capt. Clarke, Lieut. Simpson, and Stevens of the Royal Marines, and Lieut. Williams, R.N., the Director of the Dockyard Police. Order was admirably preserved by a detachment of the sth Fusileers, under the command of Dec. 1, 1846. Major Symons and Lieut. Carter. Notwithstanding the efforts of the engines, the flames rose to a fearful height' , and the greatest apprehensions prevailed. It was states by our contemporary on Wednesday that 14 barrels of gunpowder were taken from the premises. This was not the case. There were, however, 91 lbs. of powder la' an adjoining linbay, but that was removed to a place . of safety before the flames were visible. continued to play until three o'clock on ' when the fury of the flames so far aly is of its extending - however. was i the apprehen buildings.

The house of Mr. Watts and Mr. Tux kett adjoining, were also considerably damaged. Mr. Watts' house and stock were both insured ; the damage to Mr. Tuckett's property has been estimated at £1500; he is insured in the County Office. The more remote neighbours, Mr. Wilton, tailor, Mr. Brooking's straw bonnet manufactory, Messrs. Woolf, pawnbrokers, and Weeks, milliner, were also sufferers by damage of their property in its hurried removal, &c. Io estimating the loss of Messrs. Plimsaul, the loss sustained by the in terruption of their business must be taken into account as an important item. This disastrous fire has furnished a practical test of the value of Milner's Patent Safety Chest. About one o'clock it was discovered that the books of amount, and other important documents of the house, which were kept in one of these Chests, were pre served uninjured,by fire or water; while a large iron safe of the old construction, which had been surrounded with Had ut £3OOO :omple- London rick wal its door forced by the books been in it, they REMARKABLE AND_LATEST PERVERSION TO RONIANISM (From the Church and State Gazette.)

Ber sister who had been for months unable to work, occasionally earned sixpence a week. They sometimes got a loaf of bread from the workhouse. On one occasion Mr. Mer son, the relieving officer, said to her, " Mind, I have done with you ; no more relief will be granted you." That fretted her much. On another occasion her deceased sister, after having been kept waiting at the workhouse from 9 a. m. to five p. m., wa , sent away ut,relieved. She told the workhouse authorities they were starving ; but the authorities refused any further relief unless they went into the workhouse. Since Friday last no one called upon them from the workhouse, nor did they receive any relief from it. Mr. Harding, surgeon, detailed the result of the post mor tem examination, which distinctly proved that de ceased died from starvation, Mr. Merson, with several other parochial officers, stated, that they had acted in complianc e w ith th e regu l at i ons 01 the workhouse.

STATE OF TR..kI)E MANCIIESTER.—We have little alter tion to notice in the state of our market, the depression under which it has laboured for the last three weeks still continuing; and from the present ac cumulation of stocks, we see little chance of an amendmen t before Christmas. unless the system of s h or t ti me i n mills shall be more generally adopted, or an increased demand, whic b c i however, we are scarcely sanguine enou h to a n ti c i pa t e, shot) , arise.
