The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria,
and suite, are expected to remain at Westcliff House,
Ramsgate, until the end of next month, the mansion having
been taken of the proprietor, John Ashley Warre, Esq.,
until that period.
The Earl of Carlisle has been entertaining a select
party at Castle Howard. The Noble Earl's second son,
the Hon. Captain Howard, M.P. for Rlorpeth, has been
appointed to the command of the Wolverine, a fine new
sloop of war, just launched.
The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort have arrived in
Park-place, St. James's, from Badminton Park. Their
Graces left town to-day, on a visit to the Duke of Grafton,
at Euston Hall, and thence they go to Newmarket.
The Lord Chancellor arrived in Bruton-street (the
late residence of Earl Granville), from his seat, Copse Hill,
Wimbledon. His Lordship will give his usual dejeuner on
Wednesday next, the 2d Nov., to the Judges, King's
Counsel, &c., it being the first day of Term.
The Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, and
Lady Denman, have arrived in Portland-place, from a visit
to the Duke of Devonshire, at Chatsworth, in the neigh-
bourhood of which magnificent scat, the Noble and Learned
Lord possesses a small estate.
Combo-wood, the estate of the late Lord Liverpool,
has just been purchased by the Duke of Cambridge, for the
residence of his son, Prince George. It is said that the
price given was 35,0001.
Lord Brougham returned, yesterday, to his house in
Berkeley-square, from a visit to Viscount Melbourne, at
Brocket Hall, where he joined a distinguished party of
political friends. His Lordship's health seems perfectly re-
stored, and his spirits are excellent.

His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael,
brother to the Emperor of Russia, is hourly expected in
London with his numerous suite. It is stated to be the
intention of the Grand Duke to remain some time in this
country.
A singular and sad fatality seems to have attached
itself to the Italian Opera at Paris during the past year.
Bellini was followed by Malibran, and now Santini has died
of a liver complaint. The intelligence of his death has just
reached Paris.

We learn from Naples that a physician of that city
was sent, by the King's orders, into a province where it
was supposed the cholera had made its appearance ; but.
was so alarmed by what he saw (or fancied he saw), that he
hurried back without fulfilling his mission. The Govern-
ment, indignant at his cowardice, caused him to be ar-
rested, and carried back by force to the post he had deserted.

The Earl of Winchilsea has arrived at Haverholm
Priory, Lincolnshire, from Eastwell Park, Kent, where his
Lordship has been on duty for )4 days with the Kent Yeo-
manry Cavalry.
Earl Waldegrave arrived at his seat, Strawberry Hill,
Twickenham, on Tuesday, from Leamington.

The Duke and Duchess of St. Albans have returned
to Southampton from Winchester. Her Grace has taken
a private box in Drury-lane Theatre for the season.

visit to his Majesty Louis Philippe. His Excellency and
hi sparty visited Braham's theatre on Tuesday night ; and
we were glad to see his Excellency, who has always been a
great favourite in England, looking so well. We regret to
understand that his present visit is to take leave of the
Court of St. James's, where he has been so very popular a
diplomatist for twenty years. The statement of the Princess
Rosa Esterhazy being married is premature, as the cere-
mony is not to take till Easter.

Sir Charles Cockerell is seriously indisposed at
Sezincote, in Gloucestershire.

The " Nobleman" respecting whom so many para-
graphs have recently appeared is Lord de R-. His
Lordship is on the Continent, and likely to remain there.
The Duchess of St. Alban's may be truly said,
during her tour in the western counties, to have won
" golden opinions," by the judicious distribution of part of
her immense wealth. Her Grace was the star of the late
Hants Musical Festival, contributing largely to the funds of
the County Hospital.
Judging from the number of musical festivals
throughout the country, and the success attending them,
there can be no doubt but that a taste for harmony, and
that of the highest order, is rapidly progressing.
On Monday week the Duke of Sutherland, Lord
Morpeth, and Richard Gordon, Esq., accompanied by
Henry Ryan, Esq., visited Ringwood, near Ross. They
also visited Woodstock, the seat of Mr. Tighe.
On Wednesday, the 19th instant, his Grace the
Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Right Hon. Mr.
Arbuthnot, visited the Eastry Union workhouses ; and,
having spent some considerable time in examining every de-
partment, expressed his satisfaction at witnessing the com-
forts provided for the poor in this establishment, and the
excellent manner in which it is conducted.

The Ipswich Journal of Saturday says—" We
have been requested to contradict the rumour, which has
obtained general currency, that Mr. Justice Patteson is
about to retire from the bench of Judges. No such inten-
tion has yet been communicated to his friends resident in
Ipswich ; and we believe the report to have originated from
some interested individuals, anxious to increase the amount
of Ministerial patronage." _ .

Prince Czartorysci, President of the Constitu-
tional Government of Poland, who has fired his residence
in Paris, had a revenue of upwards of 70,0001. per annum
in his own country. His mother, who is ninety years of
age, is also a refugee, but she has still hope of visiting
Poland.

At Lewes, last Monday, an attorney, named Ben-
nett, living at Brighton, was fined 201. for an assault on J.
Scott, Esq. The defendant paid the fine in a 201. note, on
which he had written the following :—" This note paid to
the Sheriff of the county of Sussex for a fine inflicted by
Mr. Sergeant Doyley on Sydney Walsingharn Bennett, for
putting Captain Scott out of his office on 7th September,
1836.—5. W. B.

The Earl of Tankerville has introduced a noble
pack of stag-hounds into Northumberland. They will
throw off during the season in the neighbourhood of his
Lordship's splendid residence, Chillingham Castle, near
Wooler, and the revival in the north of this fine old Eng-
lish pastime is highly appreciated by the resident gentry,
as well as the public at large within the district.—New-
castle Journal.

Dr. Prange, Professor of Philosophy at the Uni-
versity of Halle, died lately at the age of 81.

The Garden of Plants at Paris, has been gradually
increased during the last forty years, until it now extends
over a surface of 84 acres. On the Ist of January last it
contained.about .526,000 specimens of the animal, vegetable,
and mineral world. There are in the gardens, hot-houses,
and conservatories, upwards of 10,000 different species of
trees and plants.

The Tory party in Oxford are mustering all their
strength, and making every possible effort to prevent the
vacancies which are occasioned by one-third part of the
town-council going out, from being filled by Liberals ; but
in their eagerness to gain their ends they have been blun-
dering. This party, a few days ago, sent a petition up to
the Lord Chancellor against the persons nominated by the
Town Council as trustees of charitable funds, and recom.
mending ethers, every one of whom is known to be opposed
to Reform. This has created a great sensation in the town,
and will cause the rejection of many who would probably
but for this have been chosen councillors.

Sir Charles Dalbiac on Thursday killed, in a
stream belonging to the Duke of Roxburgh, near Kelso,
seven salmon, weighing-, 1091b5., and grilse to the amount
of 321 b. Such excellent and successful sport we have
seldom an opportunity of recording. The Duke of Roxburgh
and several other gentlemen enjoyed sport very little infe-
rior in different parts of the water.

As Lientenant Hawdon was walking on Wednesday
morning last on the New-road, near Morpeth Castle, a fine
fox crossed within a short distance of him, pursued by a
cur dog ; the Lieutenant immediately gave chase, and after
a short run caught poor reynard by the brush, and brought
him home alive in triumph. _ _ _

M. Demetz is accompanied on his mission from
France to the United States by M. Blouet, the architect
who finished the Triumphal Arch, and is to take plans of
the American prisons.
The two patent places of receivers fur the duchies of
Cornwall and Lancaster, held by the late Sir W. Knighton,
has been conferred on Sir Henry Wheatley and Colonel
Fox—the former being in the gift of Her Majesty, and the
latter in that of Lord Holland.

LITERARY PORTRAITS.—THE NEW MONTHLY
MAGAZINE.-Mr. Colburn, we perceive, has given a new
and interesting feature to this popular miscellany, by intro-
ducing beautifully executed Portraits of the most distin-
guishe Literary Characters, accompanied by Memoirs.
The series was commenced in the last Number, with the
likeness of Captain Marryat, and the forthcoming Magazine
for November will contain a portrait and Memoir of
Horace Smith, Esq., the celebrated author of Brambletye
House. • _

YORKSHIRE HUNT BALL.—The Yorkshire Union
Hunt gave a grand ball at the Assembly-rooms, York, to
about five hundred of the principal nobility and gentry of
Yorkshire. The dresses of the ladies were of the most
superb description, and this assembly exceeded in magni-
ficence and splendour the late ball given by Earl de Grey
and the officers of the Yorkshire Hussars at these rooms.
The band of the 10th Hussars was stationed in the or-
chestra, and performed in a masterly style selections of
the most popular music. A supper, consisting of the
rarest dainties, was served up, and reflected great credit
upon the purveyor. The following is but a limited list of
the rank and wealth present :—Lord and Lady Hunting-
field, Lord Thomas Cecil, Sir William and Lady Harries,
Baron Osten, Lord Hawke, Lady Constable, Lady Foulis,
Sir J. Baird, Sir J. Campbell, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs.
Herbert, Lady and Mr. Vavaseur, Captain Paget, Co-
lonel and Mrs. Hall, the Hon. Captain Jocelyn, Sir J.
and Lady Simpson, Lady Cockburn, Geucral Maisters,
Colonel Wallace, Colonel
,Lloyd, Captain Ewbank, Dr.
Atkinson, Colonel. Weinman., Major and Mrs. Brett, Mr.
G. L. Fox, Colonel Thompson, the MiSses Maisters, Co-
lonel and Mrs. Smith, Dr. Belcombe, Colonel Trench,
Major and Mrs. Tempest, Captain and Mrs. Emsall,
Captain Battersby, Colonel and Miss Richardson, Dr. Car-
ridge, Mr. Colquhoun, Captain Williams, Captain Caven-
dish, Dr. Baker, Dr. Atkinson, Captain Cook, Mr. Co-
nolly, Captain Hogg, the Misses Chomley, the Misses
Smith, Captain Waller, Mr. Roper, Capt. Brown, Captain
and Mrs. Newbury, Mr. and Mrs. Fairfax, Captain and
Mrs. Dowker, the Hon. Captain Hotham, Captain Wil-
liams, E. Ibotson, Esq. ; Captain Hodgson, Captain Taylor,
Captain Quinton, Captain W. Smith, Mr. Burton, Mr.
and Mrs. J. Gascoigne, Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Thompson, &c.
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The ordinary meeting
for scientific business was held on Tuesday evening, Dr.
Bostock, F.R.S., in the chair. The attendance of members
was more than ordinarily numerous, and the subjects brought
before their notice were of a very interesting character.
Mr. Strickland, of Worcester, read an interesting paper on
the birds of the Levant, making reference to a very exten-
sive collection on the table. Mr. Gray, of the British
Museum, gave some remarks on the habits of the cuckoo,
to show that the female bird is not destitute of maternal
affection. His gardener had watched one rearing and at-
tending its young, alternately with a robin in whose vest it
was hatched, feeing them, and at last carrying them off.
lie also mentioned a curious fact that was related to him
by a friend, that cuckoos often deposited their eggs in the
nests of graminivorous birds. He had himself put a hen's
egg under a pigeon, which was duly hatched, but the chicken
died, through not being supplied with proper food. A number
of specimens of shell-fish, from the coast of South America,
principally brought over by Lord Byron, were exhibited, and
Mr. Harvey remarked on the means of cleaning crustacea
so as to preserve them from decay. It consisted simply by
throwing them into distilled or rain water, the former of
which killed them instantly, and the latter in a short time,
and then drying them carefully by the application of heat.
He also referre to a table, formed from upwards of 400
variety of specimens which he had transmitted for exhibi-
tion for three months in the Museum, and likewise exhibited
the head of a large horse-shoe bat, expressing his conviction
that the speed and peculiarities of flying were owing to the
superiority of hearing, the internal ear being as perfectly
developed as in the human species. Mr. Owen also referred
it to the high sensibility of the species, and the impression
on the facial nerves created by the recoil of the air. Mr.
Ogleby made some remarks on two of the newest species
of ruminating animals, being antelopes from Senegal ; and
Mn Gould exhibited the new species of birds from New
South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, one of which,
ptilonorhyncus maculate, was characterized by an extremely
and beautiful crimson band round the neck. The meeting,
which did not separate till a late hour, adjourned to the
Bth of November,

-The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry are
now at St. Petersburg, whence they are expected to travel
via Berlin to England, having, since their departure from
England, made the tour of the Northern Courts of Europe.
The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland are said to
be on the eve of making another Continental tour. Their
Graces are expected to winter in Italy.
The Marquis and Marchioness of Thomond intend
to pass the winter at Brighton. Lord Berehaven and his
noble bride, daughter of the Marquis, arc passing the honey-
moon at the seat of the Earl of Bantrv, in the county of Cork.
The Earl and Countess of Charleville are gone to
stay at their seat, Charleville Hall, in Ireland, for the first
time since his Lordship's succession to the title. Her Lady-
ship, rho is niece to the Duke of Argyll, is subject to fre-
quent attacks of illness, but they are sudden, and not of
long duration.
The remains of the late Count de Salis were interred
yesterday in the family vault at Harlington, Middlesex.
We have authority for stating that Count Peter de
Salis, the son of the late Count by a former marriage, suc-
ceeds to the title and estates of his father, and not Count
Rodolph, as mentioned in our paper of the 25th inst.
Prince Esterhazy, his son, and Count Waldsteine,
arrived at Chandos House on Monday evening from Vienna
via Paris, where the Prince and his son have been on a

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1536.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, OCT. 25.

THE TITHE SLAUGHTER.—We have not yet been made
acquainted with the results of the Inquest upon the body
of the murdered man, of Dunkerrin ; nnr have learned,
whether Hogan, one of the Rebellion Ruffians, has died of
his beating. We learn, however, it is probable, if not ac-
tually dead, that he will not survive.
The General Associatibh sent down an agent to Dun-
kerrin on Sunday, to be present at the investigation, so
that we shall have, through the official quarter, on Thurs-
day, a full and authentic account of all the circumstances
attending the Church-murder in question.
In the mean time, the Official Gazette of the Rebellion
Ruffians, the abettor and inciter of Church-murder (the
Evening Mail) has put forth a statement, purporting to
be written by Philip Ryan, one of the Ruffians aforesaid.
The .Dublin Evening Post of Tuesday last, from which
Journal the above is extracted, then proceeds to dissect
Ryan's account of the transaction, and shows by the state-
ment of the " rebellion ruffian" himself, that the people did
not wish to harm the police, and that they drew a distinc-
tion between those persons who were compelled to discharge
an odious duty, and the agents of the Church Establishment.
Our Contemporary concludes his remarks on the Dunker-
rin slaughter in the following unanswerable terms :—lt ap-
pears from some accounts which have reached us, as we
write, that Ryan fired the fatal shot. As it is, we think
certain that he will be tried for the homicide—upon this
part of the subject we shall say no more. Why, then, did
the police fire ? To protect Philip Ryan ! But why should
they be called upon to protect a man in a lawless and des-
perate calling—although that man happens to be armed
with a commission from the Barons of the Exchequer. The
duty of the police is to preserve the peace : and not to be
aiding and abetting in a process which leads to its constant
violation. But, so long as the police are to be made the
mere servants of the "Rebellion Ruffians" and their hum-
ble dependant, the Established Church, so long will this
country continue in a state of suppressed insurrection.
On the subject of this atrocious massacre the Freeman
indignantly asks, " Will the blood-baptised establishment
be allowed to triumph another year in the misery of its own
creating—in the blood that it almost daily sheds—in the
tears of the widow and the orphanage of her helpless chil-
dren ? No, no ;by the ten thousand massacres it has
caused, THE ESTABLISHMENT MUST COME DOWN!"
DEAN HAWKINS.—There are now lying in Newgate four
poor creatures from this same parish of Dunkerrin, for
contempt. They were seized, we understand, by some of
the ruffians, and carted off to Dublin. They were pre-
sented by the Church authorities to the Four Courts Mar-
shalsea, and refused by the Marshal. They were then
discharged—and, according to our statement, a few hours
after they were again seized, and thrust into Newgate,
where they are now lying, in a state of starvation. That
Dean Hawkins, who, only until
.lately, has been an ab-
sentee Dean, has afforded them any support in their dis-
tress, it were bootless to inquire. Bnt, so long as the
Church continues its war upon the people—
So long the merry reign shall be
Of Captain Rock and his family.
Dublin Evening Post.
We shall now turn to another quarter. By the follow-
ing extract from the Wexford Independent, it will be seen
that the active spirits are at work in this quarter :
The Dean of Clough has already opened the tithe cam-
paign
with heavy odds. Thousands upon thousands of the
people spontaneously and peaceably attend his abortive but
dangerous exhibitions. This Dean Moore, if we mistake
not, is one of the Elringtonian pets, and if we remember
rightly, he was translated by the late and last Bishop of
Ferns from the rectory of Killurin to the deanery of Clough
—a very good sign of petship—but it was only to make
room for another collateral pet—Booker, who, we have
no doubt, will in his own good time, prove himself quite
worthy of his vocation.
Let our readers mark it well, that the tithe campaign,
about to burst forth upon this county, will be chiefly con-
fined to the Elringtonian clan, and immediate adherents,
from his primogenial divinity doctor, down to the tip of his
long episcopal tail. What an unparalleled misery to be
obliged to behold the unearned fruits of the laborious indus-
try of a whole eastern county thus mercilessly devoured !
We are credibly informed that a tithe auction is about to
take place in a few days, at the suit of the Prcstonian exe-
cutors of the late and last bishop, at Boro Hill, the 'pro-
perty of that unflinching and sterling patriot, Cob Fitz-
henry, who is determined to let the law take its course.
There must be something besides a true zeal for religion
in this new and hitherto unheard of mode of parscnic tithe
warfare. Perhaps they are become the willing dupes of
intriguing Toryistn to convulse the empire, in the desperate
hope of being themselves enabled to re-enjoy another reign
of clerical rapine.
THE REGISTRIES.—The Reformers have signally de-
feated the Destructives in the counties of Dublin, Carlow,
Leitrim and Mayo. Even in Sligo the pretended success
of Toryism at Ballymote turns out a mere empty boast,
for the Liberals gained a majority, the Destructives hav-
ing only registered four in the whole registry !
REPRESENTATION OF CORK.—The Dublin Evening
Post congratulates the constituency of Cork, for having
obtained in the person of E. B. Roche, Esq., son of Edward
Roche, of Tarabolgan, a fit candidate. "He has (says our
Contemporary) great claims upon the support of the Libe-
ral interest of the great county for which he will offer him-
self—claims which will be universally recognised."

INQUIRY AT THB PAYING BOARD.—In the course of
the investigation this day, the Commissioner, Mr. Stock,
announced that the Court would not terminate its sittings
without examining Colonel Morris, one of the Commission-
ers of Paving. On a previous day, as has already been
stated, Colonel Morris declined to answer questions relatinc,
to conversations with Alderman Smyth, touching the sub-
ject of inquiry.
ORANGE PROCESSIONS.—At the Newry Quarter Ses-
sions, on Friday, Thomas Ginnep and six other persons,
were tried for assaulting the police, after an Orange pro-
cession, on the 12th of July, at Dromore. The prisoners
wore all found Guilty, and sentenced to six months' impri-
sonment and hard labour. The Crown prosecuted.
THE CROPS.—Lamentable accounts of the state of the
crops have been received from Galway and Donegal.
THE CUSTOM OF THE COUNTRY.—At the Kilkenny Ses-
sions, the assistant barrister, N. P. O'Gorman, Esq., de-
clared, in the most praiseworthy manner, that he would lean
against every technical objection, and in favour of the claim-
ant for registration. A man named Archer, who wished to
have his franchise registered, was asked by his Worship,
What tithes do you pay ? Archer (with a knowing look)
Musha, begor, Sir, I don't pay any. Mr. Kenny Purcell—
lie doesn't pay tithes, Sir, because it's not the custom of
the country to do so—(Laughter)---and your worship knows
that the " custom of the country" often makes old laws
obsolete or unnecessary. The Barrister—Oh ! I know the
custom of the county. Kilkenny is not to pay tithes, but I
want to know to what amount of tithes he is liable. Archer
stated he was not charged with any.
JUSTICE RENT.—Meetings in various parts,of the coun-
try are almost daily held, for the ptirpose of establishing and
collecting the Justice Rent. On the part of the farmers as
well as the other classes, a disposition to provide funds for
this national object is general and zealous. The Cork
Standard says that it is a " scheme of Mr. O'Connell's for
fleecing the poor of their shillings." Nothing is easier than
for an unscrupulous person to make an assertion contrary
to fact and universal knowledge ; but in order that it be
believed, the lie must at least have an air of truth and pro-
bability. If the Standard were only half as liberal with
respect to proof and argument as he is rife with abuse, and
prodigal of mere assertion, he would deserve more notice
than we are in his present course prepared to bestow on
him and his unscrupulous declarations.

Colonel Burdett, eldest son of Sir Francis, has
returned home from a tour in Russia.
Four of the twelve statues on the Pont de la
Concorde are already taken down from their pedestals—
namely, those of Cond6, Dughesclin, Richelieu, and Sully
They are being packed in very strong cases, for the purpose
of being conveyed to Versailles. Each of them weighs
30,0001b5.

All the heads of the house of Rothschild are at
this moment assembled at Paris. The death of M. Roths-
child, of London, has rendered a re-organisation of their
partnership necessary. It appears that the branch at
Paris will, in future, be the centre of all the grand opera-
tions in which they engage.—Courrier Francais.
The population of Paris is asserted to amount
nearly to 1,000,000 ; whereas, at the last census, which
was taken in 1829, it was only 816,480 persons.

One hundred and fifty tons of iron ore are shipped
from Ulverstone weekly. A very brisk demand prevails
for this article at present.
Further information is contained .in the German
papers respecting the progress of the Danube and Mayne
canal which it is now expected will be opened for navigation
in less than six years. In consequence of the dryness of
the summers of 1834 and 1835, it became requisite to exa-
mine the quantity of water in the springs and rivulets, des-
tined to supply the canal between Neumarkt and Burgthann,
and the result has been most satisfactory. Notwithstanding
so much dryness, there remained three times more water
than would be ordinarily required. Thus, if it were requi-
site, reservoirs could be easily formed. It being desired
that the canal between the commercial cities of Nurernburg
and Bamberg should be first completed, that is to be done,
there being no impediment, and that will bring the canal
sooner into general utility. The favourable character of the
localities would facilitate the speedy completion of this part
of the canal- To render the canal navigable after its first
formation, not only several streams will be employed, but the
waters of the rive Regnitz will be diverted for the purpose.
