BONDING SYSTEM..

A meeting of Merchants interested in, theim-
. portation of wine and Spirits, was held yesterday
at the City of London Tavern, to take into con-
sideration what steps ought to be pursued, in con-
sequence of proceedings instituted against certain
Merchants, for deficiency ►n the duties payable
upon wines and spirits imported, into this country,
and warehoused nudertbe Bonding, System. And
further to consider the intimation given by his
Majesty's Ministers, of their• intention to abolish
in some measure, the Bonding System, and to re-
quire prompt payment of the duties.
Mr. RAMSAY was called to arc Chair, and several
Resolutions were passed, upon which was founded
a memorial to the,Lords of the Treasury, explain-
ing the sources of the deficiencie, and the hard-
ships of prosecuting further the proceedings'against
the Bonders, as such deficiencies they state, were
to be traced to causes over which the Bonders had
no contrOul, and for which they ought Hot in their
opinion to be made accountable.

Terence liming, a deserter from the Tipperary
Militia, a great desperado, was brought into the.
town of Tipperary, and lodged in the Bridewell,
by the Shronehill Peasantry. The fellow was de-

clothes spread .out to dry. A countryman, by
name Crotty, living in Shronehill,- having disco-
vered this fellow,. pursued and came up with }tint;
Crotty knocked Fleming dow u, who upon rising
made a desperate resistance : Crotty was then
joined by two young lads, his mzighbours, named
Butler and Dorgan ; they secured the fellow, and
fearing a rescue-, as Fleming was a native of Tip-
perary, they sent for spine -soldiers, and he was
broug,ht in heavily bolted, and will be sent off to

No CHILI, but one; a CHILDE without a heart.

" THE POPISH DIVAN.,"
A 2T241 SOng.--.41.1*—" Kit" o f C9leraim." '
In times so alartning, forgraxiw; and farming,
I travell'd to Dublin myself taamuse,
My clothes soil'd and crushed, Sir, I instantly brusli'd, Sir,
And pegg'dotT,to ilmg.'!ey's for Catholic news.
'Twas all in my eye now, the Leaders fought shy now,
Away from their pasts they all man/q//q ran,
They join'd the " Seceders," onr ofd Veto-Traders,
In a Club at ring-a/Ps call'd " The Puma DIVAN."

In -fain for friend Xed(l7r, a man ever ready,
To tell us the state of the f!atholit Cause,
I sought aim' the town, Sir, day up and down, Sir,
I ne'er life:felt so anxious a pause!
To great Merrion-square, then, as swift as a hare, then,
I ftnter'd away—and enquir'd for Dan -
Quite bent should." find him, of the Pledge to remind him,
But, alas! be was elosetted with " Tnr. DIVAN."

At length I sari; Darn'y, who never talked afanteg,
In defence of the cause ever ready to die,
Whilst onwards proceeding, a Newspaper reading,
Which' I afterwards found was the Cott': " Hue anatCry,"
He spoke out quite loud then, which gather'd a crowd then,
To whom he expounded the new Veto plan,
He overboard told them—Their Leadere hadsold them,
And exrrted them all to blow up " TUE DIVAN."

Vile Traitors he calld them, and, swore he would maul them,
As degenerate Reptiles all worLing for Peele ;
A door-closing Faction, directed in action
By Pewsionar I3ellew, and Batlir O'Sbeil;
The truths he cxpress'd so, I felt in my breast so,
No more I inluir'd after :Venlig or Dan,
But fi:orn That same nig:it, Sir, I've us'd all my might, Sir,
To prevail en the Boys to blow up "THE DIVAN."
