A magnificent Jesuits' College is now building at Galway
in Ireland.—Morning Paper.
The Rev. Mr. Keogh has arrived in town from Kilkenny.
We understand his charity sermon in the latter city pro-
dined upwards of 3001.—Deblirt Paper.
We understand that Mr. Charles Ricketts, formerly a
leading Member of the Council in Bengal, and President
of the Board of l'rade in that country, has been appointed
to succeed the late Mr. Rowcroft, as his Majesty's Consul-
General in Peru, and will proceed to his destination in
about three weeks or a month.
Sir William Congreve, Colonel Landman, and Mr.
F. Daniell, tettarned yesterday from a mission to the Con-
tinent, where they have been engaged, for upwards of three
months putt, in establishing the business of the Con-
tinental Gas Company. We understand that, in Germany,
Hanover, the Low Countries, and Holland, they have met
with the most complete success, having engaged for light-
ing the most important towns in those countries. In the
Seth 'nods they have already signed definitive engage.
menta for lighting three out of the four principal cities.
We ate happy to hear that the health of Sir John Rich.
ardscn, who was compelled to resign his Judgeship of the
Common Pleas, from long-continued indisposition, is so far
restored, as to enable him shortly to return to England
frAn Malta, and that there is still some prospect of his
distinguished talents not being altogether lost to the
ceuntry.—Erraing Paper.
THE NIANCHESTES PITT CI Ul.—The members of the
Pitt Club dined together on Thursday last, in the Ex-
change Dining Room, to celebrate the anniversary of the
birthday of that illn-trious statesman, the Right Honour-
able William Pitt. The 28th of May happening this sear
in the race week, occasioned the change of the ;lay.
At half-past five upwards of one hundred and forty gen-
tlemen sat down to a most sumptuous dinner. On
each side of the President's chair were displayed flags,
inscribed " The Pilot that Weathered the Storm,"
and " His Country's Safeguard, and its Pride," and in the
centre an appropriate transparency. Captain S. P. Hum-
phreys, R.N., was in the chair, supported on his right by
W. Hutton, Esq. of Hulton, and on his left by Trafford
Trafford, Esq. In the immediate vicinity of the Chair
were the respected Stipendary Magistrate, J. Norris, Esq.,
Thos. Entwistle, Esq., the Rev. Dr. Trevor, J. Brierley,
Esq., Major Eckersley, Major Cole, &c. The Manchester
band played several delightful airs during dinner, and
throughout the evening. On proposing the usual toasts of
the Pitt Club, a series of loyal and animated speeches were
pronounced, which we regret our inability to give. The
Chairman and several other Gentlemen left the room at
eleven o'clock, and were loudly cheered as they departed,
and Captain Grimshaw, one of the Viee-presidenur, took
the Chair. Many loyal and patriotic toasts and sentiments
were afterwards given, interspersed with songs; and the
utmost harmony and conviviality was kept up until a
late hour.-21faneltesfer Paper..
The Annual Meeting of the Society for promoting the
enlargement and building of Churches and Chapels, sill
be held this day, at the Freemasons' Tavern, at 12 o'clock,
precisely. The object of this Society is to assist pari,hes,
desirous of obtaining additional accommodation by enlarg-
ing the structure or improving the internal arrangement of
their Churches. By these means, relief is afforded to the
spiritual wants of the very many places which are net
entitled to any part of the Parliamentary grant for building
new Churches. The Society, by the expenditure of 86,1401.
has been instrumental in providing additional Church
room to the amount of 113,714 sittings, and of these
8f,.;t8 are for the use of the poor.
A memorial to the Lord Lieutenant from the gentry and
landed proprietors of Sligo, Leitrim, Fermanagh, and
Cavan, lies in Enniskillen for signatures. It prays that a
canal may be formed which will connect Lough Erne with
Lough Allen, and that again with Lough Gill. which is na-
vigable to Sligo. Thus, with the canal already sanctioned
between Lough Erne and Neagh, will open a communica-
tion across the kingdom, from Sligo to the ports of' Newry
and Belfast. In a commercial point of view this under-
taking is of the greatest importance to Ireland.
ATT•CIE SY THE NATIVES Or New SOUTH WALES.—
A new South Wales Paper gives the following account of
another attack by the natives:—" IVe have just been ere-
dibly informed, that on the morning of the 21st December.
about twenty aboriginal blacks approached the house and
stock-yard of Mr. James Hobbs, situated about fifteen
miles east of York Plains, at which place it will be recol-
lected a large tribe of natives made their appearance some
few weeks ago, and that after some resistance had been
made by firing upon them, they killed one of Mr. Hobbs's
stock-keepers. Upon the present occasion it seems, that
as soon as the natives appeared in sight, they were instantly
striven back ; on which another party advanced in au op-
posite direction, and cooed, signal, which was no a:our
heard than it was answered by at least 150 more of the
same tribe, who, armed with spears and waddles, and at-
tended by nearly fifty fine kangaroo dogs, surrounded the
house. Mr. Hobbs s two servants, each having a musket,
defended themselves for five hours, in the best manner
they could, from the spears and stones which were thrown
at them, until at last the klacks pressed furiously on, amt
surrounded them with fires, through which, atter much

The Dutch are making preparations to surpass us in ves-
sels navigable by steam. There is now building at Rotter-
dam a vessel which, when completed, will be of the burden
of 1,100 tons, to be propelled by an engine of 300 bore
power. She is intended to carry troops and parsengers to
Batavia, and will be commanded by a lieutenant in the
Dutch navy. The machine for furnishing her is recut:
factored at Liege.
