festival of the Benevolent Society of St. Patrick—the
object of which ie to educate, clothe, and apprentice poor
children born of Irish parents in or near on—was held
at the Freemasons Tavern. His Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge had undertaken to till the chair, and arrange-
ments had been made, by the zeal and activity of one or
two influential supporters of the charity, to give unusual Mai
to the festival. The death of the Duchess of Kent, however,
necessarily prevented his royal highness from presiding ;sad
although there was no sensible diminution in the num-
ber of gentlemen who attended, yet several novel
features which had been projected in the enter-
tainment of the evening were not carried out.
Among the numerous guests present were Sir Ralph
Howard, Bart. ; Major-Genend Sir Richard Decree, K.C.8.;
Sir Harvey Bruce, Bart. ; General Watkins ; Sir Bernard
Burke, Ulster King-at-Arms ; Colonel Dunne, M.P. • Mr.
M'Connick, X.P. : Mr. Alderman Kinahan, Mr. 8. Lover,
Mr. C. 314;atel, Mr. R. 11f. Montgomery, Mr. J.
C
Mr. Jones (the sculptor), Ac. Several members of
Royal Irish Volunteers attended in uniform, among whom
were Lieutenants Jones, Falmouth, and Bigg, Mr. Morgan
John O'Connell, and Dr. O'Connor, the honorary physictan
to the corps. The chair was occupied by General the Hon.
G. F. Upton, 31. P., who performed the function of his posi-
tion with great tact and ability.

DETERMINED SUICIDE Or • TRADESMAN IN Sr.
PANCRAS. —(THIs DAs.)—This morning, about eight
o'clock, much alarm prevailed in the neighbourhood
of Albany-street, Regent's•park, in consequence of
the discovery that Mr. Salmon of that street, •
grocer in a large way of business, had committed
suicide. His servant went about 8 o'clock, as was usual,
to the stable, to take out the horse, when he found the
I door fastened. He looked through the keyhole sad
then observed his master suspended by •
Seeing police-constable Limeburn, 3.13 S. he e
called
him. The constable got over the fanlight of the
door and cut the rope. A surgeon was sent fur, who
stated that life was extinct. No cause can be assigned for
the rash act. The previous night he went to bed not
showing any sign that would lead to a supposition he would
commit suicide. _

SUlillas or A Joe KIY. —On Saturday night, •
man whose name is understood to be George Arrow, com-
mitted suicide in the Stanley Arms public-house, Manches-
ter-street. The deceased, who appears to be between 30
and 40 years of age, was a jockey. and belonged to Mahal,
in Yorkshire. He had come to Liverpool rams last week,
on the understandiog that he was to ride in one of the
reces,but this he did not do. In the course of Saturday he
had been different times in the Stanley Arms, which is kept
by Mr. Thompson, and a short time before 8 o'clock he
returned there for the last time. Having joined some men
who were drinking at the bar, be took • glans, rinsed it
eat, poured a little water into it, and taking • paper with
in it from kis pocket, he mixed the powder
▪ 'with the water in the glass and drank it off. Almost
immediately he became very ill, and in little more than ten
'Mantes died. Medical aid was at once sent for, mod Dr.
Meek from Islington Flap, arrived in lees than a quarter
of as hour, but before his arrival the unfortunate man was
dead. To • man with whom be was slightly acquainted,
and whom he had met in the course of the day, he had
stated his intention to drown, or in some other way
destroy himself . • but this being looked on as an idle threat,
I was disregarded.—Liverpool Albion.
FIAN:GING YOUNG CHILDRII3.—" J. 0." send.
, some remarks to the Times, relative to the retest returns
of the cases of flogging of boys in prisons during the last
three years. Sixty-seven criminals of I'L ea of age, 41 of
IL 34 of 10, 12 of 9,3 of 8, and 1 of 7 appear in the
tide as having been thus punished,—eome with
the birch and others with the " cat." At Ches-
ter gaol • child of eight is stated to have re-
ceived 24 lashes for "repeated misconduct;" •
child of nine, to have received the earns for " house-
breaking ;" and at Bodmin a boy of 12 got two mops-
rate floggings of 36 lashes each far " hormstealing."
At Hertford a boy of 10 received 36 lashes for steal-
Mg a piece of beef, while • man of 29 only received
the manse punishment for stealing 29 fowls. Two children,
el' nine years old, received 15 lashes each at Faversheart—
one for stealing a cocoanut, value 3d. ; the other
for stealing • half-pound weight. value 7d. At
Salford, in Lancashire, • boy of twelve received
48 lashes for " most artfully end wantonly destroy-
ing the books in his all;" • boy of 11 got 3R lashes for
shouting in his cell ; and • boy of 10, 48 lashes for putting
the cotton given to him to pock into his call pot. In the
same prison another boy of 11 got 48 Whet, also for
shouting in hi. cell • and a boy of ten was simi-
larly maltreated. In bxford gaol two criminals of nine
years of age were chastised with 24 lashes each, and the
Fetworth Petty Sessions enjoy the melancholy distinction of
having awarded corpomi punishment to toe youngest criminal
on the list, use infant of seven years of age, who, with two
accomplices of nine years of age, "stole • knife :" one
of. the accomplices of nine is noted as " an old offender."
J. O. observes :—" The well fed e.hildren of the rich,
when they come to be stripped for punishment, are
at eight, ohm, or ten years of age but frail, delicate.
skinned, little creetemm, very ill-fitted to bear even
dozen cuts of Use case or the birch ; the underfed chil-
dren of the poor are trailer and punier still, and I ap.
peal to every member of the Hoses of Cowmen who has
young children of his own to put • stop to these wanton and
unnecessary cruelties. If two-thirds of the counties of
England, and if all Wales, mismanage their young offenders
without the birch and the cat,' why should the other
third be permitted thus to disgrace it IN r
&CAPS or A FVOITIVI SLAVA IN Nsw Yost.—
Just previous to the sailing of the steamship Y
yesterday afternoon, for Virginia, • some whichori=
quite an excitement occurred at pier No. 13, North river.
About three o'clock • close carnage, containing two De-
puty United States Marshals and an alleged fugitive slave
named John Polhemua, made its appearance on the
wharf. The slave was said to belong to Mr. James" of
Lynchburg, Virginia, and to have confessed that fact to
his master, who is now in the city; before the two mar-
shals above-mentioned. However this may be, when
the officials alighted, Gumbo showed no very strung
inclioation to follow suit, and, in fact, resisted
all invitations to step out on terra firma. Persuasion
failing, the marshals resorted to coercion, forced the
negro from the waggoo, and hurriedly endeavoared' to ship
him on board the Yorktown. But the micro, slave or no
slave, clung with no submissive grasp to the rails of the
plank, and shouted out with an appealing voice, evidently
intended for the rot popodi. Responsive to the cry, the
people gathered around in • crowd in a few minutes, end
to them the slave cried in desperate and piteous tones,
"Oh men, save me, save me, save roe. I'm not the
not the man, no, no ; oh, save, save." A policeman named
Armstrong name up at this juncture and interfered, asking
the marshals to produce their warrants and show their
authority for shipping off the darkey as • slave. Not having
the oeceemry documents, one of the marshals hurried off
to fortify himself with the authoritative gapers, leaving
the negro meanwhile in the custody of the other deputy.
But before the officer had time to return, the slave, urged
on by the crowd, cut the company of his keeper, and
made tacks for life, running rapidly towards West-street.
The marshal briskly pursued, but the slave proved nimble
of foot, and in • abort time was completely out of sight.
It is said he crowed to Jersey City, where another warrant
will be nee ...airy for his arrest. The affair created quite •
scandium—Arne York Herald, March 3.
