AFFAIR or HONOUR AT Di/SUN.—We copy the fol-
lowing from an evening paper. There have been many
other versions of the same affair, which has been a good
deal the subject of conversation during the last two or
three days:—" It is stated, that in consequence of some
allusions made by Mr. O'Connell at the Association, in
which he attributed Mr. Leyne's renunciation of Popery to
a wish on the part of that gentleman to inflict pain on Lis
aged parent, Mr. Leync in the course of Tuesday evening
sent a message to Mr. O'Connell. Mr. O'Connell, it is
said, declined the message, and stated that he was held in
heavy recognizance. Mr. Leyne's friend pressed for an
answer, and fixed an hour for a second intemew with Mr.
O'Connell. The result is stated to he, that Mr.O'Connell,
midi. the circumstances in which he is placed, declined re-
c: icing the message. It is further alleged that his son
(Mr. Maurice O'Connell) had sent to Mr. Eerie to say,
that he was ready to receive any communication from him
tonchirg his (Mr. Leyne's) misunderstanding with his
father. Mr. Leync is said to have declined this proposal,
alleging he had no cause of quarrel with Mr. Maurice
O'Connell. In this state, it is said, the matter rests."—

MEETING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS OF
IRELAND.—The Irish Raman Catholic Prelates are to as-
setnble in Dublin on the 18th January in the approaching
year. It is not alone, we understand, the affairs of reli-
gion that will occupy the attention of the Right Rev. Per-
sonages, though these, of course, will experience their soli-
citude ; but, if our information he correct, other matters
of considerable importance will be discussed. In the pre-
sent state of the Catholic Question, a meeting of this dis-
tinguished body, if at all connected with the political con-
dition of the people, must he regarded as an important
event.—Southern Reporter.
A very rich and splendid stained glass window, which
has been executed by a lady of high rank and fashion,
under the immediate stirecti•nr and superintendence of Mr.
Buckler, is now on its way to the north, and is intended
to adorn Lowther Castle, tie seat of the Earl of Lonsdala.
The design is very ornamental, principally composed of
heraldry, introducing the Order of tae Garter around two
immense shields, richly emblazoned with the Lowther
arms. There is also some beautiful Gothic tracing iu the
three principal compartments, into which the window is
divided, and the whole is surrounded by a splendid Gothic
bordering of foliage, red, green, and gold.—Carlisle
hint.

We are sorry to say, that a mercantile house at Gemer-
sal, in this neighbourhood, of long standing anti great re-
spectability, but wholly unconnected with any banking
concern, has stopped paynnent.—Leeds Paper.
The commercial embarrassments in the money market in
London, and in some of the southern counties in England,
have preduetl a great sensation in every part of the king-
dom. In Yorkshire the shock has been felt, but not se-
verely. Money, indeed, is scarce, and trade flat here, as
clesewhere, but commercial credit on the whole stands
firm, and we are looking for the revival of trade soon after
Christmas with considerable confidence. The mania for
speculation in foreign stocks, mina, &c. which has proved
so disastrous in London, never reached this pint of the
country to any great degree, and of the twenty-five milliois
of pounds sterling embarked in those speculations, and
principally sent nut of the country, Yorkshire has not, we
dare venture to say, contributed one-thousandth part, al-
though this county contains a twentieth part of the popu-
lation, and possesses an equal proportion of the wealth of
the kingdom.—Lerds Mercury.
On account of long and excessive rains on Sunday night
and Monday the rivers Eden and Caldew rose to a great
height on inesilay morning, overflowing all the low
grounds through which they passed,
. but did little damage,
except at the works of Davison a banks for supplying the
canal with water. The dam banks and ore or two of the
bridges were partially injured, and a portion of the sluice
stone-wotk gave way, but the whole may be repaired
without much expense. On Wednesday a sharp frost
commenced, which continued with a biting blast from the
south-east till this morning, when there was a partial fall
of snow, and sleet. All the mountains are perfectly white.
