Geo. Covill, who put a period to his existence by hangieg him-

end-road, had, about 12 months since, got married to a woman
of 39 years of age, who was much addicted to drink, and whose.

directed by the deceased to the Governors of the Alms Houses,

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY

Extracts from the Morning rapers, Nov. 3

[BRITISH PRESS.]
An occurrence took place recently in the South
of Ireland, which, on account of its locality,
would hardly be worthy of notice, if it were not
connected with the state of parties in that king-
dom, and illustrative at once of the progress made
by the liberal Bird conciliatory policy of the
Marquis Wellesley, and of the obstacles which
yet oppose themselves to his Government. The
first stone of a new bridge was laid on the 45th
of October at Limerick. 'l'ho Commissioners
for the erection of„this useful public work bad
resolved to give it the name of the Wellesley
Bridge, 66 in honour," as they state in their hi-
. scription, 66 of the Viceroy under whose auspices
the undertaking was commenced ;
.considering
that a national work of beauty, utility, and
strength, was not an improper memorial of
the Governor, whose principle it has been to ef-
fect an union of all the King's subjects, in the
discharge of their common duties, for the benefit
of Ireland and of the Empire." His Excellency
being unable to attend in person, the Earl of
Clare officiated as his proxy, and in the procession
that was to take place on the occasion of laying the

foundation of the bridge, the chief places of honour
were reserved for the Members of the Corpora-
tion, who were respectfully and earnestly invited
to attend. When the day arrived, however, the
Corporators were all absent neither Mayor, Re-
corder, nor Alderman—not a Charter-Justice
thought fit to take any part in the commencement
of this important structure for the improvement
of their city. In the Limerick Chronicle they
have published an excuse, ascribing their absence
exclusively to the " many slights" they have
suffered from the Commissioners, and disclaim.
in? arty intention of sheaving disrespect towards
Warquis Wellesley. The fact is, that the
,Corporators and the Commissioners have waged
electioneering hostilities ; and as the bridge is
a work which the people of Limerick owe to
the zeal and perseverance of Mr. Spring Rice,
the Corporation, who withal are tinged with
Orangeism, were resolved to deprive it of the
benefit of their august countenance. De minimis
non rural lex. The insignificance of these per-1
sons, it may, perhaps, be thought, should save
them from observation. Intrinsically they are
certainly of no consequence ; but for the rea-
Sons we have given above, we deem them entitled

to this animadversion. The whole empire has an
interest in knowing the success of Lord ‘Velles.
ley's endeavour to institute a system of sound and
impartial government in Ireland. The following
is an extract from a private letter, relating to the
.transactions to which we allude

".LIMERICK, 26.—1 am happy to say that the cere-
mony has passed off in a manner the most satisfactory; and so
!hr as good hit Moor and good feeling go on the part of a popu-
lation, assembled to the amount of at least thirty thousand, the
procession was not altogether unworthy of the name with which
it is associated. The Bishop, and Mr. Blackburn, the Assist-
Kitt Barrister, attended, and they both speak highly of the ex.
implary conduct of the
_people. For the first time, m the South
of ,lreland, we saw the Police lay aside even their side-arms, and
appear with their constables' statism only. This, although apparent-
ly a trifle, we are vain enough to consider a circumstance connect-
edwith the Wellesley Bridge, which will beacceptable to the Lord
Lieutenant. , The. Mayor Lind all the (Aviv. Aut)Jorihatsyamiti;
place in the procession immediately nekt the Lord Lieutenant's
proxy, but these chartered gentry declined giving their attend-
ance. An attempt was made, after the ceremony, by some who
had more zeal than discretion, to chair Lord Clare and Mr.
Spring Rice, who had taken a prominent part in the business of
the. day but a few words of correct representation from the
Hon. Gentlemen, pointing out the impropriety of associating
any name with the work but that of the Lord Lieutenant, tamed
matters right, and the populace acquiesced in the advice which
was given them."

ETRE TIMES.]
:The news from Pernambuco, which we gave
yesterday, would seem to charge the Captains
of two English vessels, stationed off that place
wlu it was taken by the Imperial forces, with
a p:artial kind of neutrality ; as, that they took
on board and protected Carvelho, the lender of
the anti-Imperial party, but refused to admit
borne Englishmen who claimed similar protection.
We confess that were we in the place of those
Captains, we should be loth to deliver up to'
massacre a person who had been once received.
The, refusal to admit English fugitives requires a
more particular explanation.

Wit% Fauntleroy's defence seems to have cre-
-o(4:a:slight combustion. Wo are neither friends
not' enemies to him, nor to his partners. It is
not Impossible, for' 'any thing we know or have
said, that the house may have partaken to a cer.:
tain' degree of the advantages resulting from the
acts of. their partner : but it would be as well to'
consider for a moment upon what evidence that
charge Wrests. Far be it from us, at this crisis,
to destroy any portion of the effect which
Mr. Fauntleroy's defence may have produced in
his favour. We would simply state, that it is
not usual to assume as proved facts, the declare-
tions of one in his unhappy situation. The esta-
blishment at Brighton, he says, cost him no more
than 34W. per annum. The appearance of the
hawse, we should suppose, would at once invali-
date or confirm this statement. It would be very
easy, if his impunity depended on the issuc, to
try the other assertions.--(lbid.)
