'DORT OP EXCHEQUER.—Nothing in the Court of Ex-
chequer since our last. So much the better. We pro-
phesy that there will be far less next term ; and that the
war will entirely fail before the end of summer. However,
we must make a short chapter on the subject :—Patrick
Dwyer, of Doon, county Tipperary, the tithe martyr, had
a public funeral yesterday. His remains were taken from
the Four Courts Marshalsea, in which be was incarcerated
by the Rev. Mr. Coote, it is said by the Trades' Union,
and borne in procession round the town, accompanied by
immense masses of people. The following paragraph, front
a Limerick paper (Star), tells this poor man's story :
" Dwyer, separated as he was from a young wife and fa-
mily, a lone widowed mother and brothers, and thrown into
a solitary prison, soon pined away, and died of a broken.
heart. Peace be to his memory, until other and better
times shall appreciate the many sacrifices made by the Irish
people for conscience sake. Then will this unfortunate
martyr, with the many others who have suffered in the
same cause, meet with the sympathy which his untrierited
fate so truly deserves. Poor Dwyer, we understand, has
left a young widow and helpless family to ex.pyrience, not
alone in feeling, but in circumstances, his
untimely loss.
We have heard that subscriptions arr.; to kg.. forwarded from
Limerick, as a slight alleviation oc theit. condition." The
remains of the poor man will be carriea publicly down to
the South, and it will be mai in the route by tens of thou-
sands. This is a new riode of warfare against tithes. In
Limerick the people are meeting and subscribing to file an-
swers ; in Kilkenny they are about to do the same ; and
the example will 'be followed. by all the rest of the nation.
We do not tblnk there is any occasion to introduce a Tithe
Bill this session.—Dublin Evening Post.
LONGFORD ELECTION.—Mr. Charles Fox has at length
spoken out. His address appears in the Mail of last night.
His eulogy on the. " creditable" political conduct of the
late representative must ensure his defeat with the liberal
and patriotic electors of Longford. The ?vlail pronounces
his address " to be modelled upon Sir Robert Peel's cele-
brated address to the electors of Tatun'orth," and so indeed
it is. It. states that the writer will do all that he can to
remedy what he believes to be abuses, but' no more. We
are touch deceived in our opinion of the electors of Long-
ford if a Reformer of this kind, be sent to represent them
in Parliament.—Freeman.
THE POST-OFFICE.—The irregularities and plunder o f
and in the Pest-office department hove grown to an extent
which is quite insufferable.—Southern Reporter.

WESTERN LITERARY AND SCIEN-
TIFIC INSTITUTION.

Last night a half-yearly general meeting of the members
of this Institution was held in the theatre, at their house,
Leicester-square, for the transaction of the general business
of the Institution. The meeting was very numerously at-
tended.

HENRY WARBURTON, Esq., M.P,, Vice-President, was
unanimously called to the chair.
The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that 100
new members had joined the Institution since the last half-
yearly meeting; that the Committee had 200/. in Exchequer
bills, besides a balance in cash in their banker's hands ; and
that their library was increased to 7,000 volumes.—((great
applause.) The report also stated the various subjects on
which lectures had been delivered in the theatre, and the
various classes for literary and scientific instruction in active
existence in the Institution. It also adverted to the, expi-
ration of the present lease of their premises in two years,
and the offer of Mr. Tulk, the head landlord, to give them
a renewal on terms stated, one of which was the expenditure
of 1,500/. on the premises ; and contained cor;ies of a letter
written to Henry Drummond, Esq., the Tr,unificent Presi-
dent of the Institution, apprising him of 'the facts, and his
answer, concurring in the expediency of ureatly enlarging the
the theatre, and offering to contribiAP, 5001. of the sum re-
quired.--The report was unanimwsly agreed to.
Mr. Anson moved a resolutir
Ai of instruction to the Com-
mittee to treat with Mr. Tulk Tor the renewal of the lease,
which was also unanimously N.,reed to.

tribution, was passed w=ith great acclamation. •

*lt. BURKE'S GENEALOGICAL AND HERALDIC
HI.
',TORT OF THE LANDED GENTRY ; PART XIII.—" A
b',story of the commoners, a descriptive account of the ter-
ritorial lords of this great empire—a grade superior in birth,
fortune, and influence, to a considerable part of the noblesse
of other countries—has long been required, and we bail with
much pleasure the progression of Mr. Burke's work, as sup-
plying a branch of history hitherto left (though its advan-
tages are obvious) almost wholly untouched. Among the
present untitled aristocracy of England are to be found the
descendants of many of tho most eminent names in arts,
literature, and arms—names interwoven with the brightest
records, and associated with the most stirring events of our
annals. In continuing our extracts from this interesting
portion of Mr. Burke's work, we will merely add that the
more we have entered into the spirit of the subject the more
gratified we have been with the activity and research dis-
played in its production.”—Court Journal.

The Surrey Sessions commenced yesterday morning.
before Robert Hedger, Esq., and a full bench of Magis-
trates. There are 67 prisoners for trial, but none of them
arc charged with offences of a serious nature.

Measles to a great extent, and of a very bad descrip-
tion, have broken out at Glasgow. In some poor families
two and three children have been carried off in a few days,
and in several instances families have been left childless.—

DEATH OF A TORY PAPER.—Died, on Tuesday
last, The Lincoln Standard, Tory newspaper, aged .5 weeks.
We are glad to bear that Mr. Bentley is' about to
publish, early in January, the most complete edition that has
yet appeared of the " Correspondence of Horace Walpole."
This edition will possess great additional value from the
circumstance that it will contain upwards of Two Hundred
unpublished letters, including the letters of Horace Wal-
pole to Miss Berry, the latest correspondent of this Prince
of Letter Writers. These have been kindly presented to
the publisher by Miss Berry. The volumes will also con-
tain numerous illlustrative notes from MSS. and other
sources, and will include the " Reminiscences." A series
of fine portraits, from original drawings, made expressly for
this purpose, will complete the attraction.
It appears from an old Register of St. Andrew,
Holborn, that during the time of the Commonwealth, when
the established church lost its sanctity and authority, it was
customary for the banns of marriage to be proclaimed on
the market-days in Newgate-market, the parties being af-
terwards married in the church ; or (to use the language of
the Register) " they were married at the place of meeting
called the church."

A man named Macintosh, a journeyman tailor, liv-
ing at No. 5, Vere-street, Clare-market, who contrived by
invincible industry for many years, to support a numerous
family,. was, during the past week, agreeably surprised by
the information that a relation, who recently died in the
West Indies, bad left him 15,000/.
