LIMERICK.

From the following letter it will be seen that the No-
ble Lord declines the honour intended him by the citi-
zens of Limerick :

"London, Aug.2s, 1841.
" Gentlemen—l beg to acknowledge, with the deepest
sentiments of respect and gratitude, the expression of
opinion embodied in the address from the public meeting
of the citizens of Limerick.
" That the services which it has been allotted to me to
render during the period of my connection with the
Government of Ireland, and still more, that the inten-
tions by which they were suggested and guided, should
have been thus indulgently recognized, is now felt by me
as a most abounding reward, and will prove to me,
through every change and chance of my future life, a
source of genuine and abiding satisfaction.
" It cannot fail to be even additionally gratifying to
me that such a mark of consideration should have pro-
ceeded from a community which, although of great and
growing importance, is yet far removed from the usual
scenes of my official labours ; and I cannot refrain from
remembering with pleasure that the latest act connected
with the duties of my department in Parliament was to
introduce a measure which I hope is yet destined to af-
ford to Limerick a more close and speedy connection
with the other portions of the empire.—l have the ho-
nour to be, gentlemen, your most obedient and devoted
servant, " W)RPETH."
NATIONAL BANQUET TO LORD MORPETII.
This splendid festival, meant to testify Ireland's affec-
tion and gratitude to one of the noblest of her defenders,
promises to be the most delightful re-union ever wit-
nessed in this kingdom. Preparations on the most mag-
nificent scale are being made.
We understand that the Committee will be able to issue
tickets on to-morrow. Ladies will be admitted to the
theatre to witness this superb sight. Letters expressing
the warmest concurrence in the proceedings have been
received from Lords Listowel, Rossmore, Cremorne,
Stuart, and Ebrington.

The Committee have also received communications
from the most illustrious of the nobility and gentry in-
the empire, signifying their intention to be present on the
occasion. Amongst these are the Lords Clanricarde;
Lurgan, Oranmore,Talbot de Malahide, &c., &c. Letters of
acceptance have also been sent by Sir It W. Carew, Sir
John Kennedy, Sir Percy Nugent, Sir D. Jephson Nor-
reys, Mr. More /Werra, Mr. A. F. St. George, the
Hon. W. Villiers Stuart, Mr. Ross, of Itosstrevor, and a
host of others not less distinguished. Moore, the poet,
will be also present.—Morning Register.

" London, August 28,1.841.
My dear Ray—Hurrah for the'repeal ! It is bravely
afloat. We are free from the Whig shoals, and the
' breakers ahead' of place hunters. The Tories are -busy
dividing the spoils of their victory, but believe me that
they will not enjoy them long. In the meantime let us
avail ourselves of the happy opportunity for augmenting
the number of Repealers. It is idle indeed to deny that
the man who now hesitates to join the ranks of the Re-
pealers, can have but little sense and less patriotism.
Peel, of course, will give us a (lose of plausible hypocrisy,
as he did last night ; but Irish shrewdness is not to be
cheated by his paltry plausibilities. I had him to my
heart's content in a singing passion last night.
" I cannot for a few clays be allowed by the rules of
the House to make my electio❑ for• Cork so as to allow
the new writ for Meath to issue, which it cannot do until
the Bth of September. I arrange to have it issued at the
earliest pOssibh moment.
" I cannot bein Dublin until Thursday morningnext:
I do hope, the deputies and candidates in the wards are
all alive. Taxes, taxes, taxes, should be the cry. lam
assured fifteen revising barristers—•one for each ward—
are appointed, Is this so ?
" Is it not clear to demonstration that Ireland can have
no hope but in her own exertions ? But is she not hope
enough fur herself ?
" Hurrah for repeal.
" Your's very truly,

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, AUG. •31. The continued favourable
weather for harvest appears to have produced some little
effect upon this market ; and there was yesterday a ra-
ther better demand, both for yarn and goods, than for
two or three weeks past. Prices, however, remain mise-
rably low, and without the slightest appearance of im-
provement.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, ACG. 30.—Flannels
still continue in good demand, and buyers have pur-
chased freely at former prices. In the wool market there
is no change to report : the manufacturers purchase for
immediate use only.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, AUG. 31.—The demand
for fancy woollens and heavy plains still continues brisk,
and the trade generally begins to exhibit a more animated
and healthy appearance. Prices are firm. Business in
the warehouses is generally pretty good.

The beautiful mansion, Belmont, Stoke, the pro-
perty of J. Norman, Esq., banker, was sold at auction on
Thursday last for 2,340 guineas, to General Wilson.—

THE BRITISH MAGAZINE.

The sands of Joppa had this peculiarity, that
though they were arid, they nevertheless spark-
led. The British Magazine, in the case of many
of its papers, possesses the aridity, but wants the
sparkling lustre. " Reflections on Ruins," how-
ever, retrieves it from absolute dulness, and it
even grows delightful as it bewails the decay of
ancient beauty. From the controversy on "Law-
ful Baptism " we reverently refrain, leaving it
to our godfathers and godmothers to adjust, whe-
ther we should be plunged into the water-pool,
or be decently sprinkly at the font. A letter
from a Country Clergyman treats on the prac-
ticability of observing daily service in our
churches, but he fears that very often lie should
have only the pulpit above and the clerk below,
and nothing but his friend the clock opposite to
him. A multitude of minor canonical matters,
such as " On Wearing Hoods"—" Lights on the
Altar," &c. &c., close the number.

ORNING SUN

lay before the pnblie this morning, we are now enabled
to giVe the following authentic list of the new Ministry
which ;Sir Robert Peel has probably by this time sub-
mitted for her Majesty's approbation.
It will be observed that in assigning to the Duke of
Wellington the Presidency of the Council we were misin-
forraed. The Noble Duke would not, indeed, withhold
front llis friends the aid of his great name, but with that
absence of self-interest for which he has always-been
remArltahle, he will only occupy a seat in the Cabinet,
without (rim and of course, without emolument.
Sir, R. Peel, First Lord of the Treasury.
Right Hon. H. Goulburn, Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Lord Wharneliffe, President of the Council.
LordLyndhurst, Lord High Chancellor.
Duke of
.Buckingham, Privy Seal.
Earl:,pf Aberdeen, Foreign Secretary.
Lord Stanley, Colonial Secretary.
Sir4araes Graham, Home Secretary.

The'reinaining appointments arc not. yet
.finally ar-

men-and 9!'itlerneri will hold office in the Ministry :-
1 or 4 Mahon, Lord ,Liverpool, Lpid G... Somerset, Earl
of ell4l4fit'ld, LOrd rrgerten, Sir G. Clerk, Sir W.
Rae; Sir E. Sugden, -
It affords us much gin- tifleition 'fiCai- that his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, in conjunction with her Ma-
jestyonanifested an 'earnest desire to act in strict ac-
cordance with the spirit of the Constitution, and to af-
ford tcrSir R. Peel every facility in the formation of his
Government. The reception which the Right Hon. Baro-
net met with from her Ma_ jest ywas most gracious and kind.
Her Athiesty expressed her determination to extend to Sir
R. I3el's Government her most implicit confidence and
supporl, under the firm belief that no measures would be
proposed to Parliament' that would not tend to maintain
the dignity of the Crown, to conserve the institutions of
the country;' and promote the happiness and prosperity
of the people.

SPORTING MAGAZINE.

This Number contains two engravings—one
representing the " Interior of a Sportsman's Tent
in India ;" and the other, " A Stricken Mallard."
The first is a very lively picture, and exhibits
two sportsmen amusing their evenings leisure by
a game of chess in a canvas tent, the walls of
which are thickly hung round with all sorts of
sporting implements. Of the literary articles, the
most generally amusing is the second series of
" Scenes and Sports in Foreign Lands."

HALL'S IRELAND, Part IL
How and Parsons, London, 1841.

There is not the slightest perceptible falling-
off in this clever and impartial work, which, on
the contrary, seems to grow in interest as it pro-
ceeds. The present part is chiefly confined to
details respecting the County of Tipperary, of
whose chief town, Clonmell, its antiquities,
scenery, wealth, &c., the Editor furnishes us
with some curious and entertaining particulars.
Facing the title-page is an excellent map of the
Queen's County and the King's County, with the
addition of two plates, representing a view of
Luggellard, in the County of Wicklow, and the
the Abbey of Holy Cross in Tipperary. The first
is the best, and with its luxuriant combination of

hill and dale, wood and water, jutting capes and
promontaries, realizes all that we can conceive of
the beauties of that fairy scene which has been
so elociuntly described by Olian.

At the Eton Petty Sessions application was made to
the Bench for license to open a large and splendid build-
ing as the Royal Hotel and Tavern, just erected by
Charles 1)oteno, late steward of the Earl of Chesterfield,
at an expense of upwards of 12,00 a.., close to the rail•
way station at Slough. It was opposed on the ground
that the house was not required by the public; and that
it would inflict serious injury on .the established inns at

A pleasant weekly miscellany, containing se-
veral musical criticisms and original papers con-
nected with that attractive science.

THE LYRE.

We have here the four first Numbers of a new
musical and theatrical register, which is pub-
lished weekly, and from the skill and attention
to details with which it is conducted, bids fair to
become a favourite. The original communica-
tionsare, in general, tersely and neatly written;
one, in particular, on the " Scenery of the Olden
Theatre," is full of curious and minute information.

The remaining three are engraved from the jo-
cund scenes of "Village Festival." The
articles are, as usual, sprightly and pleasing.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Charles Thompson, a person very fashionably dressed,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Maltby, the presiding
Magistrate, charged with the following unprovoked as-
sault :—His Excellency Count Dewits, of No. 15, Upper
Seymour-street, Portman-square, stated that between
two and three yesterday morning, he 'was walking up
the Haymarket arm-and-arm with two friends, when he
received a most violent blow on the back of the neck,
which nearly stunned him, and on turning round saw
the defendant close behind him.

Police-'2onstable No. 141, of the C division, stated that
he saw the defendant running across Piccadilly,
and on coming up with Count limits, he struck him
with all his might in the manner described.
Mr. MALTBY inquired whether any provocation had
been given to the defendant ? His Excellency said—
Not the slightest ; he had never seen or spoken to the
defendant before to his knowledge.
The defendant said that he was returning home from a
party when, as he was crossing Piccadilly, he was struck
by some person, and although he could not tell by whom,
he thought he had a right to return the blow to some one.
Mr. MALTBY—Pray, in what station of life are you ?
Defendant—l am a medical man.
Mr. MALTBY—Then, I shall fine you 31., and in de-
fault commit you to prison for one month.
The defendant immediately paid the fine and was dis-
charged.

TION, for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, LUMBAGO,

VER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCATION (a composition of Vege.
table Oils) fearlessly asserts, and will test it openly before the most
emine..t medical men in the wo, Id, that there is not to be found a re-
medy a thousandth part so innocent or efficacious as this specific, so
justly celebrated for the cure of the above diseases. This assertion
can be demonstrated by evidences so invincibly conclusive, as not to
be apposed or doubted by the most prejudiced ireptic. For intim.
mations (no matter how virulent) it bas no eisinpeer : in fact, there
is no other remedy known that will arrest lock jaw or inflammation
which terminates in external mortification ; and the Proprietor will
forfeit any sum if it ever fails to arrest the fatal consequences of
these distressing diseases, which up to this time have baffled and
rendered nugatory the skill of the most eminent practitior ers in the
civilised world.l Ito spinal diseases its efficacy is also undeviating, if
applied when the spine is first pronounced to be labouring under dis.
ease. For Burns a..d Scalds it also stands pre-eminently alone, ex-
tracting the fire the instant it is applied, by laying it on plentifully
with a very soft brush. For Hooping Cough, Croup. Compression
of the Brain, Brain Fever, Quinsey, Palsy, Paralysis, Erysipelas,

sum of 1,95C1, as compensation for tke period proved.

ELECTIONEEIUNG.

A Glasgow paper states that on account of some of
the trifling formalities. which clog the working of the
Reform Act, the whole of the Liberal electors, to the
number of seventeen, claiming to be registered for Port
Glasgow, have had their claims thrown out by the
Sheriff
At the Manor Court of Armagh a case was tried, in
which the plaintiff, one of the agents of Mr. Fox, the
Tory, had, prior to the Armagh election, purchased a pig
of the defendant, a voter, for 3C I, giving 2/. as earnest;
and the remaining 28/. to be paid after the election. This
having terminated without polling, the plaintiff claimed
the etrnest, and brought his action for its recovery.
Amid roars of laughter the Court dismissed the plain-
tiff's case, with costs.

A meeting of the Westminster Reform Association
was yesterday evening held at Stannard's Hotel, Covent
Garden. According to the Report it appeared that owing
to the exertions used there were above 2,000 new claims
fur Reformers this year.
A meeting of influential Reformers took place in Par-
liament-street a few dayi since, to draw up rules and re-
gulations for the government of a Central Society. A

and Mr. Wallace, to request them to become Vice-Pre-
sidents of.the Society.

WORSHIP-STREET.

A tall and athletic young fellow, named William Greig,
who stated that he worked at the Docks, was charged
with having violently assaulted Eliza Hill, a good-look-
ing girl, aged 17, and also with having assaulted police-
constable N 49.

The female complainant stated that she resided at
Clapton with her mother, and she was returning home,
between eight and nine o'clock on the preceding even-
ing-, when she met the prisoner, who endeavoured to ob-
trude his conversation upon her, but she crossed the
road to avoid him. He followed her, however, and again
addressed her ; and, after walking for a short distance by
her side, he stopped at a public-house, and ordered a
pint of ale at the door, which he made her partake of.
After leaving the house he urged her to accompany him
down an obscure turning, and on her refusing to do so,
he caught her up in his arms, and carried her into it.'
She struggled violently, and succeeded in getting from
him, but he ran after her, and struck her several times
on her mouth and throat. He then threw her down, and
was proceeding tobehave with brutal violence towards'
her, when a policeman, who was attracted to the
spot by her cries, ran up and rescued her from his grasp.
The prisoner put several questions to the complainant
with a view of showing that
a previous intimacy had
subsisted between them ; butshe positively denied that
such was the case.

Police-constable N 49 .stated that he was on duty near

the spot, when he heard piercing screams from a woman
on
g him, on the
ground. The prisoner, on seeipn
jumped up, and
with the exclamation " You
--, give it you," he
• ostfivaggmliinlegolf, and
grappled with him, and they both fell down. The pri-
soner managed to get uppermost, and presSed his knee so
heavily on the breast of witness that his breath almost
'failed him, and he was obliged to let go his hold. The
prisoner then made his escape, but he was afterwards cap-
tured by another officer.
The mother of the girl stated that immediately after
the outrage her daughter reached home in a dreadful
state of agitation, and told her what had occurred. Her
bonnet was much bent and broken and was stained with
blood, and the rest of her dress was nearly torn to
pieces. ller daughter got her livinf, by needlework,
and was a prudent well-conducted girl.
Police Sergeant N 8 said that the prisonerr hadinstealz lead,
been
tried and convicted at the Old Bailey for
and he was a most notorious character.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that whatever might be the
general conduct of the prosecutrix, she had acted very
indiscreetly in partaking of the ale which the prisoner
offered her, which circumstance alone deterred him from
committing the prisoner for trial. Without imposing
any fine he should commit him for a month to the
House of Correction.

FRANCE.

Baron de Barente, the FrenchTmbassador, took leave
of the Emperor Nicholas on the 3d, and was to embark
for France on the 20th.

The three Belgian Commissioners for conducting the
commercial negotiations between France and Belgium,
had arrived in Paris.

Mr. Wells, the head of the American house of that
name, died in Paris on Tuesday.
It was reported that the soldiers•of the French army,
whose term of service would expire on the 31st of De-
cember, 1842, will be proviSionally discharged the mo-
ment when the conscripts of 1841 shall have passed
through their first drills. Each of these contingents
may be estimated at 60,000 men.

SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid, of the 25th ult.,
state that the Government had positively an-
nounced its determination to pay off the two
years' interest due on the old indemnity bonds,
amounting now to about 6,000,000 of reels.
Very advantageous offers had been made to the
Minister of Finance, in order to induce him to
enter into a private contract, forestalling the
lease of the quicksilver mines of Almaden, but
he had declared that they should be adjudicated
only by public competition. The Five per Cents.
were done at 26k for cash.
Private letters from St. Sebastian, of the 28th
ult., announce that the line ofcustoms would in the
course of a fortnight be removed frem Ebro to the
Pyrenean frontiers; that General Espartero had
notified that determination to he irrevocable to

the saommisAioner of Guipuscoa ; and that the
reinforceinent lately ordered into the provinces,
and the stationing of cruizers along the Canta-
brian coast, were for the purpose of enforcing
that measure. It was deemed probable that this
violation of thellleros would be resented by the
people, and might accelerate the long pending
crisis in the Basque provinces.

FR EE TRADE.

At a period when the attention of Parliament is di-
rected to the principles of free trade, with reference to
the admission of foreign corn and other products, the
letter of a correspondent, which we purpose embodying
in our remarks, may be considered opportune, as afforcf-
ing evidence of the support given by other Governments
to their home manufacture over that of foreign produc-
tion. 'We are not prepared to enter into the question,
or to determine that the present Corn-laws have or have
not produced the effect complained of—that of a pre-
ference being given by the Grand Duchy of Baden to
the iroomn.sters in the Prussian dominions over those of
England and Wales, but that the point raised by our
correspondent may be better understood, we here insert
his communication:

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, AUG. 31.—Tho continued favourable
weather for harvest appears to have produced some little
effect upon this market ; and there was yesterday a ra-
ther better demand, both for yarn and goods, than for
two or three weeks past. Prices, however, remain mise-
rably low, and without the slightest appearance of im-
provement.
ROCIIDALR FLANNEL MARKET, AUG. 30.—Flannels
still continue in good demand, and buyers have pur-
chased freely at former prices. In the wool market there
is no change to report : the manufacturers purchase for
immediate use only.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, AUG. 31.—The demand
for fancy woollens and heavy plains still continues brisk,
and the trade generally begins to exhibit a more animated
and healthy appearance. Prices are firm. Business in
the warehouses is generally pretty good.

The beautiful mansion, Belmont, Stoke, the pro.
perty of J. Norman, Esq., banker, was sold at auction or
Thursday last for 2,340 guineas, to General Wilson.—

FOREIGN.

The French Government Journals appear to have
received an intimation from the .Court to be less enthu-
siastic in their support •of Christina, for the papers of
Thursday rather deprecate any interference with the in-
ternal affairs of Spain. The Journal des Debats alone
contends that the French interest must be maintained
at all hazards at Madrid, and broadly asserts that France,
and France only, must provide a husband for the young
Queen. This is a question which France will not
be allowed to settle after this free and easy fashion.
On the 10th inst. General O'Donnell summoned the
town of Paropeluna to surrender, and on receiving a re-
fusal, cannonaded it from the citadel. The summons
was renewed on the 11th with the same result, when a
heavy fire was opened upon the town, which did immense
damage. O'Donnell was without provisions, and the
troops of Espartero in possession of the town had en-
tirely cut off his supplies. The result of the cannonade
of the 11th is not yet known.
The following is an extract from the Courrier Francais,
suggested by the reports of a financial crisis in England.
We fear that the hatred of this country which it betrays
is but too general even among the educated classes in
France:—" A bad harvest, the interruption of labour in
several of the manufacturing districts, the distress of
the working classes, the deficit of the public revenue,
and the embarrassment of the Bank of England all com-
bine to produce a position, which is anything but safe,
and out of which even immediate danger may arise.
In the event of a war with the United States, for in-
stance, Manchester would certainly be reduced to close
her factories, and the Bank of England to suspend its
payments. We do not desire this catastrophe. Nations
are now closely connected with each other in questions
of credit, and France has nothing to gain by the ruin,
or even the derangement of English commerce ; but it
is pleasant to see the situation of those proud islanders,
who for a whole year dreamed of enchaining the world
in their policy, and rendering it tributary to their trade.
There they are trembling before a French fleet of twenty
ships of the line, and sinking under the weight of a finan-
cial operation, scarcely amounting to 3,600,0001. sterling.
A remarkable document, addressed by the Pope to
the Governments of Germany, relative to mixed mar-
riages, will be found in another part of The Sun. The
pretensions of the See of Rome are as preposterous as
they were three centuries ago.

Alburgh Springs, Sept. 20, 1841.
Mr. EDITOR—A circumstance occurred in this neigh.
bourhood last night, which in these times of excitement,
may be of sufficient interest to obtain a place in the
columns of your paper. The circumstances were as
follow :—Last night about two or three o'clock; RD
armed force (from the other side of the line) of some 12
or 15 men, entered the house of a Mr. Brown, in search
of one James Grogan who had arrived at Brown's (a bro.
ther-in-law of his) the previous evening ; they first en-
tered the bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Brown, who imme-
Aiately raised an alarm for a hired man and son of Mr.
B. then in their lodging room. The mob immediately
placed a bayonet at each of their breasts, threatening
that if they uttered another word they would run them
through. As soon as they found their mistake they then
entered the room occupied by. Mr. Grogan, gagged
him, and dragged him from his bed to a waggon in the
street, and made off with him towards the lines, leaving
all his clothes, a hat, bayonet, and a handkerchief
behind. These are all the facts to be obtained. lam

told that the cause of this treatment to Grogan is, that
he was connected with the firing of buildings on this
frontier in the late rebellion. Grogan has a wife and a
large family of children at Lockport, New York, from
whance he had lately come to this place on business.
A VISITOR •AT THE SPRINGS.

By a gentleman direct from the scene of this outrage,
we learn that Mr. Grogan was severely wounded in his
attempts to escape, having his thigh run through by a
bayonet and a serious injury inflicted in his side. This
occurred about four miles this side the line. How
long are the people of the United States to submit
to outrages of this nature ?
(From the Correspondent of a Boston Paper.)
On Sunday last. Sept. 19, twelve or more of these
volunteers crossed the line, invaded our territory, and
forcibly seized and carried into Canada this Colonel
Grogan. They came by night and stealth two miles and
more into the township of Aldburgh, bound him, and
hurried him away to Montreal, there to be depositedin
the dime hold of their prison. Grogan, it is said,
fought against this gang like a tiger, and it was with no
little difficulty that these loyal subjects of Queen Vic-
toria were able to overpower him and consummate their
fell purpose.
Last evening the citizens of St. Alban's met together.
and appointed a committee of five to inquire into this
outrage, and to report upon the facts of the case.

signal that a vessel was on shore, were exhibited on the
Skerries Island. BoatS immediately proceeded there,
and found that the brig Dido, of and for Liverpool from

been completely wrecked on the west point of the
island during the preceding night. The vessel had be-
