PROTEST AND DECLARATION.

We, the undersigned, feel ourselves called upon to ex-
press our deep regret that a notice should -have been issued,
calling for an exclusive meeting of the Protestants of • Ire-
land in Dublin, on the 24th January, and suggesting dan-
gers which we do not believe there is any reason whatever
to apprehend, and which we feel 'assured not one single
fact can be adduced to prove.
We lament that a duty has been thus imposed on us, of
protesting against a requisition which eight members of the
House of Lords have deemed expedient to publish on tl►e
very eve of the meeting of Parliament.
We consider a meeting of such a character, calculated
to interrupt the tranquillity which at present happily pre-
vails in Ireland, and intended only to bias the discussion
of measures which we believe to be necessary for the
promotion of the national interests, and which we hope
will occupy the earliest and most dispassionate attention of
the Legislature.

Mr. Hope has returned to town for the season, and
resumed his sumptuous dinners in Mansfield-street.

Yesterday morning, about half-past three o'clock, a
lighterman of the name of Johnson pißed up the body of a
young female, apparently not more than 20 years of age,
in the river, opposite Queenhithe stairs, and conveyed it to
the Surry shore. From the appearance of the body it is sup-
posed to have been in the water for a considerable time.
No document was found to ascertain who she was.

The Ex-Queen Hortense, it is now said, has no
intention of disposing of her estate of Arenberg ; but, on
the contrary, purposes to add to its, embellishments.
Mlle. Fanny Eisler being now completely restored
to health, the new ballet in which she is to appear is in
active preparation. Mlle. Taglioni will shortly cease to
belong to this theatre, of which she is at present, as she
ever has been since her debut, the first ornament. Since
the intention of Mlle. Taglioni to visit England has been
announced, some of the provincial theatres have offered her
100 guineas a night.—palignani.
Yesterday afternoon, between three and four o'clock,
the following dreadful occurrence took place at the resi-
dence of Mr. Sergeant Mirehouse, No. 10, Upper Sey-
mour-street, Portman-square :—lt appears that at the
period above-named, and while the Learned Sergeant was
absent from home, two of the domestics, named George
Haverd and William Lee, the former head and the latter
under footman, commenced quarrelling in the kitchen,
when each collared the other, and in his rage Haverd seized
a dessert knife, with which he stabbed Lee twice in the
side and once in the arm. The housekeeper, hearing a
noise, hastened below, and finding the blood streaming
from the sufferer, rushed into the street in order to obtain
medical assistance, and at the door was met by Pooke of
the D division, who, learning what had occurred, took into
custody the man Haverd while in the act of hastily pack-
ing up his things with the view, as it was supposed, of
making his escape. He was then conveyed to Mary-la-
bOnne-lane station-house before Inspector Tedrnan, to
whom he expressed his deep regret for the act of vfolonce
he had committed; and appeared exceedingly dejected.
The wounded man, Lee, received every attention at the
'lnds of a surgeon, but from the nature of the wounds his
recovery is extremely doubtful,
