MAJOR .GENERAL CHATTERTON, M.P. for Cork, has
been appointed to the command of the Limerick
district.

ARRANGEMENTS are almost completed for the con-
struction, liy a joint-stock company, of very extensive
docks at Langstone Harbour. It is somewhat re-
markable, considering that there is no harbour of
refuge on the southern coast, that this, the best
naturally-formed harbour for our commercial marine
between Plymouth and the Nore, should have been so
long neglected. There is depth of water inside
equal to that of Portsmouth, and it is almost as
extensive, being five miles in length ; the entrance
might without difficulty (according to Sir J. Rennie
and other eminent engineers) be so much improved
as to admit vessels of the largest size, either naval or
commercial ; and it is protected from foreign aggres-
sion by Cumberland Fort at the entrance, and the
fleet within gunshot at Spithead. The works will in-
clude wet and dry docks, warehouses, everything in
fact on the most complete and extensive scale, with a
short branch railway to Havant, which will afford
direct communication with the metropolis by means
of three lines of railway—the South-Western, the
London, Brighton, and South Coast, and the Ports-
mouth Direct. The formal sanction of the Lords of
the Admiralty has been obtained, and the undertaking
is supported by the Duke of Richmond and all the
principal landowners around the district, as well as
by the municipal authorities of Portsmouth and
Chichester.

A LETTER FROM Rolm, in the Messaggere of Modena,
states that a monument to Daniel O'Connell, executed
by Benzoni, at the expense of Mr. Bianconi, the well-
known car-proprietor in Ireland, has just been com-
pleted, and is to be placed in the church of Sant
Agata alla Suburra, belonging to the Irish College at
Rome. The inscription is in Latin, by Dr. Newman.
THE ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL OF THE JEWS' FREE
SCHOOL was held at the London tavern on Tuesday
evening, Lord John Russell in the chair. About
140 gentlemen sat down to dinner, including Lord
Denman, Sir Anthony Rothschild, president of the
institution, the Rev. Dr. Adler, the Chief Rabbi,
Alderman Salomons, &c. A collection of upwards of
2,0001. for the purposes of the institution was an-
nounced in the course of the evening.
