The :Yap Coostitieion says that the Westport
guatalLns have been informed by their treasurer
that 431., bein,4 one-third of their funds, was stopped
*sr the repayment of the annuities. This occumng
in Lard Lucan's own county, will be a poser for that
noble repudiator.
The Sligo C'Atiolp.'on, speaking of Lord Palmerston
as a landlord, says :
This slistiaguished statesman has a considerable property
is the county of Sligo, at Ilullaahmore, in the barony of
Carberry. at Keash, in the barony of Cumin, and in the
town. NVe allude to the circumstance as it of us an
op?. rt unity of 'Aerie; testimony to his lordship's uteelleat
as a lar.illord. Ile is one of the mat improving
land: mid. in Ir.-land, and for 'can he has expended • great
portion of his Sligo rental in improving his estates. Indeed.
moo. years he dew no moray frum this county, but paid it
all away in work• of permanent utility, amongst which we

It i. undertuod (Says the Ecilting Post) that
Lie utenar.t General Sir E. Illakency will be included
in the list of generals in the brevet, but that promo-
tion would not necessarily lend to his removal from
the unwound of the PIM% in Ireland—a post so long
held by the distinguished veteran with the greatest
advantage to the service, and with the universal ap-
roval or the public. We are happy to learn that
Biz K:ward has entirely recovered frotn the effects of
his recent accident, and is now iu excellent health.

A rather startling instance of the ninae in which the
Doman l'atholie Defence Association have eommenced pro-
wets iiii 4 tin it it signs in the west of If, is recorded in
a lat.• numb rof the Nip. Cb le. It appears that the
conduct of Mr. Somers during the last session of parliament
has it .t been at all relished by a portion of the Ifmogn
catholic. clergy r. silt at its that borough. it has nut been
consol, t,d "tough that Mr. Somers should have voted
wooed the Seclesiastical As.couption Bill on every
dici.em which took (dace throughout the progress of
that assure. The honourable inentlier has elf acted
by 1.14 liuliug hims. If to the unprincipled and factious
combination wit. submitted to the trammels imposed by
the Irish Papal Primate, and voted atteitist their avowed
convictions and opinion, in obcilivine to the clerical
command. Th. 111.111 in r for Sligo has not leers frost it by
the ultranionlanists, beyon I opposing the hill, he
would ant be the mined of Rome. On general qui,tions Iw
puristd the tenor of au h.mourable and independent
roolnet —.rotator for free trade, as he was pledged to
du, 41104 follilliag his otle r engagements to his constituents
with a fearless and exemplary fidelity. 31..y0, it seems, is
not to enjoy the eirlumwe notoriety of prostituting the
altar of God and the so iv. 6 of the ministry to the most
grosching indulgences of pre Illy reseutment. Sligo ha,
its Ilartlimans also; and it the account of the Chroniew be
true. as we are assured by a mo,t trustworthy eorre-
ip.m,kor, ir is, what is to be thought of the social
cowliiion of a people where such outrages are per-
pirated ? The Chronic& describc s the scene a. it
orrorred in the Sligo chapel as hollows: •"f lie
parish chapel. of Sligo and Kilinaculluin were made,
on Sunday last, theatres fur exhibiting those familiar dis-
play. of prit,tly tyranny, yelcpt 'altar denunciations.'
The B. 11101114, D.D. hat...sigma the Sligo con-
grrg.ttion, taking for his text —the qualifications which
should finmerly he posseilied by a borough member—when,
by immistak olds allusions, be denounced Mr. Somers, ' bell-
book and candle,' and rot ;aimed entry terrible retribu-
tion to any of the congregation who would vote fur the hoc.
inember at the coming election. How could any voter,'
'rood the rev. doctor, give his support to a man who
aid, din keeping in power a governmi id, by whom the in-
famous Ecclesiastical Titles Bill' was pawed---a bill which
has bastardised every Roman catholic in Inland 2' This
staring consequence of the hill, which quite escaped
even the acute obscreatian of the hon. mealier for Athlone,
the doctor made out a% follionli.—Tite appointment of the
catholic bishops, raid he, is declared null and void : but the
bishops ot.l the el. rgy, and the clergy marry the meta-
hers of the congregation, therefore the marriag.• are
invalid and the issue illegitimate. Having thus syllogisti-
cally eonvinced the judgment of his male auditors, the doc-
tor next addressed himself to the feelings it the women—
which he duly harrowed by announcing that the British
parliament had annul:ld all their marriages. The whole
affair was of course coded by a practical application—the
iniquity of supporting a man who at anv time aided a go-
vernment guilty of such enormities." '%Vhilst the tendert-
rim ..f such denunciations, as incitements to popular ',en-
grain e, may he easily i.litnated, it indicates a growing in-
dependence in the minds of even the Roman catholic
multitudes in Ireland to be assured, that they fail microdot°
the expected impression. The locality in which those
sacerdotal pranks are thus fiercely end unscrupulously
plaved off is within the benighted limits which Dr.
111'11141e and his suffragans have doomed to ignorance. But
in the struggle to be educated, which has always formed a
distinctive trait in the character of the Irish peasantry-,
enough has been acquired to enable them to appris late
these clerical imprecations at their true value, and to judge
all then representatives by those tests alone which should
d, termine their opinion and secure their approbation. In
the present ingance we are assured that the " Dove of
Elphln," in whose diocese this Columbian rack has been set
up for Mr. Somers*. excruciation, is not likely to lead the
pooh. by the beards. Secured by an independent conduct
which could offend the foulest bigotry alone, Mr. Somers
will not be replaced even by tha orthodox and wealthy as
pirant toh'inntle honours whom Ilielcop Browns would im-
port from Townley-hall, Laseashire.

A ill.ooXkit IN Cog&—At length the streets of
Cork hare been graced by ■ specimen. and a remarkably
attractive one, of a lady robed in the lull bloomer costume.
About one o'clock on Saturday a young lady. possessing
audivient personal attrattions to reconeiie tile beholder to
any style of dress. appeared upon Patrick-street and the
Parade for a short time elegantly dressed in the attire men-
tioned. She was aceompanied, of course, by a gentleman.
The lady, it may be stated, was of a highly respectable
family, well known to most of the citizens of Cork. After
taking a few turns in the principal streets to display her
remarkable and somewhat piquant stress, the lade and her
escort retired from public observation.—Cork Examiner.

LITE Brovs.-1-csterday, • contrivance for ob-
viating many distremi easaalties at sea was exhibited off
the l'hernix Gasworks, klankside , Surrey. The invention,
which has been registered by Mr. Keyee, of Cross-street,
Newington Butts, is a buoy of cork, or some lighter mate-
rial, which is fastened under the arms; the person using it
also wearing heavy clogs. The result is, that in the hea-
viest swell he will flout perfectly upright, and only sub-
merged breast deep. By means of a paddle, he may lite-
rally " walk the waters," and the utility of the plan for
conveying a rope to a ship in distress, or to a man over-
board, is sufficiently obvious. It will also prove of great
service in enabling wrecked persons to float to the shore;
and a sufficient quantity of the apparatus fora hundred men
may, it is stated, be stowed in the room required for a boat

UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL.
OX.VORD, tic futtEllt 22.—LINetiLN COLLEGE.— I
Died en Tuesday evening, at the rector's lodgings, aged
70,John llaelt,rl, 1) D. Dr. Radford (says a correspon-
dent) entered eq.!. :re in 1800 and took the degree of
B.A. in I`ol. ; a-,ca his examination under the short-
lived system of.t.i.• statute of 1&01. He became Fel:ow '
of his college in November of the same year as a native
of Yorkshire, was tutor for nearly 30 years, and succeeded
the well-known and eccentric Dr. Tatham, as rector, in
Ib3l. Dr. Radford was a scholar, and a man of great men-
tal capacity. He was thoroughly versed in logical and me-
. taphrsical science at a time when such studies were con-
fined to comparatively few ; but excepting his sermons as
select preacher, and some ethical notes which he printed
fur the use of his pupils, he has left nothing in evidence
of his considerable powers and attainments. For many
years Dr. 'Ledford led a life of great seclusion, and ha
interests became wholly concentrated in the affairs of his
',liege. His sal for its welfare, which he showed in
every way which lay in his power, earned for him. the sincere
respect and attachment of his own society. He was a person
of liberal and enlarged views in politics, and on the ree.mt
measures of, and a itati,,a fur, university, reform, thoush
he did not take any active part, he always inclined towards
that party who are striving to enlarge the basis and extend
the utility of our great national institutions.
