Cal-nom: Assoctartow.--We understand that a meet-
ing of the Law ( lfficers of the Crown was held, preparatory
to the reorganization of the O'd Catholic Association, for
the purpose of considering whether any legal measures
should be resorted to, to enforce the provisions of the late
Act of Parliament. Events prove the (loci ion come to. In-
deed none other could, under the circumstances, have been
expected.— Dublin Evening Muil.

In our paper of the 7th instant we stated that a notice
bad been given to the tenants of our late County Member,
Mr. Wilberforce, that, at the ensuing rent day, no money
Would be received in payment of his rents except coin of
the realm or Bank of England notes ; in other words, that
no provincial notes whatever would be taken. This para-
graph, further inquiry has proved to us, was cornet, but
we are informed, from an authority on which we can rely,
that Mr. Wilberforce himself did not give any such order.
We are glad to find the practice we deprecated condemned
by this disavowal, and we hope that it will not in future be
repeated either by landlords or their azents.—Leeds Ar PI,

The Government House of Pottstnouth Garrison, on
the Grand Parade, is taking down, it being intended to
build on the site two spacious houses, suitable for the
constant residence of both the Governor and Lieut.-
Governor, and for the occasional Royal visits to the port.
The present residence of the Lieut.-Governor, in St.
Thomas-street, will be converted into a Military Hospi-
tal. The new residences will be commenced in the spring.
The convicts are, in the mean time, to be employed in
the demolition of the old Government House, and clear-
ing the ground. This building is the most ancient within
the walls of the garrison. It appears to have originally
been part of a Hospital, called the " Hospital of St. Ni-
cholas," or Donuts Del, and was founded for twelve old
men, by Peter de Rupibus, in the year mos. At the
dissolution of religious monastic houses by Henry VIII.
it was converted into a dwelling-house for the residence of
the Governor of the town, since which period great alter-
ations and modern improvements have been made in it.
Near this building is the equally ancient Chapel belonging
to it, which has been many years assigned to the use of
the officers and soldiers of the garrison. This building,
as far as is yet known, is not to be taken down.—/famp-

Humor BLAIZE.—The festival of Bishop Maize was
celebrated at Keighley seven years ago, with a joyousness
and splendour only inferior to the saute exhibition at Brad-
ford on the 3d of February last year ; but it appears this*
the good Bishop, to whom is ascribed the invention of
combing, must not have the customary honours paid hint
this year, for instead of making arrangements for the pro-
cession, and providing good cheer for strangers, some of
the manufacturers have quite enough to do to provide for
returned kills, to find employment for their work-people.
and to administer to the wants of those they have been
obliged to turn off. But amidst this gloom and privation
there are those msho look forward to brighter days and to
returning prosperity; and it is to be hopes), that in the
approaching spring their anticipations will be fully realized.
