THE LATE W. HARRISON, ESQ., Q.C.—
By the death of this eminent counsel, the following lucrative
appointments have become vacant:—Counsel to the Trea-
sury and the War-office, and Attorney-General to the
Duchy of Cornwall.
SABBATH OBSERVANCE.--We learn that a
meeting of the subscribers to the Tontine News-room is
to be held on Wednesday evening, for the purpose of
considering and deciding upon the propriety of shut-
ting up that establishment during the whole of Sun-
day. We trust that there will be a full muster of
the subscribers who are not bit with the intolerant
spirit of fanaticism now abroad, for the purpose of
signally defeating this attempt. If successful in the
east end of the town, of course it will next be tried to
shut up the Royal Exchange Room also. The proprietors
however, had better take care of lending a too ready ear
to any such proposal, as, if carried into effect, it will,
from what we have heard, inevitably lead to a large seces-
sion on the part of the subscribers. Neither the Ex-
change nor Tontine Reading-rooms need be matter of
offence to those who do not frequent them—no man is
compelled against his inclination to enter their door—
and we would therefore recommend those who disapprove
of their being open to mind their own affairs, and leave
others to do the same.— Glasgow Argus.
FEELING TOWARDS LORD MORPETH IN
IRELAND.—The progress of this estimable Nobleman
through the province of Leinster has been one continued
triumph. Addresses have been presented to him from
nearly all the principal towns in the county of Wexford.
O 3 Wednesday last the people of Ross met his Lord-
ship at Mount Garret Brit3ge, about a mile from the town.
" Shortly after three o'clock," says the Wexford Inde-
pendent, " a hearty cheer from the county Kilkenny
side announced his Lordship's approach, which was re-
sponded and re-echoed by the multitude at the county
Wexford side of the bridge. The bands then struck up
Seethe conquering hero comes,' and the vast procession
advanced at a quick step; and though the rain was ines-.
sant, and flooded the roads, still the bands played with-
out intermission till the procession arrived in front of
Shanahan's hotel. By this time there could not be
less than ten thousand persons present,, and consider-
ing the extreme wetness of the day, it must be admit-
ted that it was a vast body, though certain we are that
his Lordship would have been greeted by the cheers of
30,000 of our brave and temperate people if the day were
favourable. Lord Morpeth then entered the hall of the
hotel, and was ushered into the great roomby the Messrs.
Talbot, O'Ferrall, &c. Mr. O'Ferrall instantly raised
the windows in front of the street, when the cheering
became tremendous. After the cheering had subsided,
Mr. O'Ferrall commenced reading the address in a clear
and animated tone of voice. His Lordship afterwards
addressed the meeting, and at the conclusion said, hi
bled yet to hare it itin his power to advance the interests
oflreland." -

A law exists in'the state of New Hampshire, in
America, under which any woman from another
state or country, who has lived two years within
New Hampshire, and has not been claimed by
her husband, has a right to a decree of di-
vorce. A young lady, native of New York, has recently
availed herself of this privilege. She was married to
the Count de Hautevilie, a Frenchman, but, being dis-
contented with her lot, fled into New Hampshire, and
having remained there the stipulated time unmolested,
obtained her divorce, and with it the right of keeping
her child, the fruit of her marriage. •
We are informed that the Brougham, which
sailed on Saturday with the New Zealand Company's se-
cond staff of surveyors for Port Nicholson, passed the
Downs on Sunday with a fair wind and cheering pros-
pects. It carries out a principal engineer and two assist-
ants, accompanied by their wives ; also ten cadet engi-
neers. The Brougham is accompanied by a transport,
carrying 300 emigrants, men, women, and children.
