meet, Duke street; when about 100 guests, inch:,
eluding his pupils, were present. The soiree opened %vita
splendid concert by the pupils, and the execution and f,"/
displayed on the occasiov, elicited the warm applauge,:a
all present. Dancing was then commenced, and consists
of all the fashionable dances now before the public. Al'ea

off with much satisfaction—every one being delighted

tant poor law charity:—" A poor and friendless %5
Catholic woman died lately at Kirkintilloch, and
buried by the parochial authorities. The old woman 11'e
in her possession a relic of better times—the hands°--er
flag that was carried before Father Mathew and F.,3'.`iie
Enright, on Glasgow Green, when they inaugurafro
temperance movement in that country. After the fune'd

sold it to defray the expenses of the old woman's
The proceeds of the flag would seem to have been ins'
eient to satisfy the local ".Bumbles" of Kirkintilloco
although the cost of the poor woman's simple coffin

even the poor old creature's bonnet, which last r`

Tim Inisie POOR LAW.—A deputation "of prov,e:
delegates has had an interview with the Earl of Carllto
for the purpose of bringing under the consideration of of
government a plan for the amalgamation of several Othe
law unions, and thereby effecting .a large saving. by 4
i
reduction of establishment charges. The memorial ,00
not without interest, as showing the extraordinary deetbe
of pauperism in almost all quarters of the country, a11',09
positive folly, if not worse, of keeping np permanent siesie
of officials, whose sole duty is nearly narrowed to the tflor
of receiving their quarterly salaries. His Excellerch °no
giving a patient hearing of the deputation, replied et °:the
length, adroitly touching upon those passages i° of
memorial which bare evidence of the improved workiirloos,
the Irish poor law ; and, at the conclusion of his adtte
promised, on behalf of the government, that the irtbs
showing the necessity for the economic management 0'
poor should not be overlooked. •
