" 1. A memorial to the Horne Secretary, requiring
him to enforce the quarantine laws
against Irish ves-
sels bringing paupers into this country.
"2. That the vestry call upon the board of guar-
dians not to give relief to Irish paupers wxpout
plying the labour test, or without ses!ching: their
persons,
to ascertain if they had money in their pos-
session ; and, if they had, that they should prosecute
them.

The vestry separated about three o'clock.

The Patria of Florence states that Lord Mint° had
another long conference with the Grand Duke o rilua•

Commander Lord Amelilts 'Wentworth Beaucierk,
promoted from the Curacoa, 24, in November last.

when in the Parana, is appointed to re-commission and
command the Stromboli steam-sloop, of 970 tons and
280 hors-power, at Woolwich, recently returned
from the Tagus. Lord Beauclerk, unlike many pro-
moted in the late brevet, earned his promotion hard

arc, and dangerous service; and it consequently
affords us sincere pleasure to see him

ints. ion and now in command.
The Comet steam-vessel, Commander Johnson,
arrived this morning from Portpatrick and Plymouth,
with supernumeraries.
The Bhadatna n thus steam-transport, Mr. Jonathan
Aylen Master-commanding, returned from Sheerness
yesterday morning, and came into the harbour to
coal. She embarked 130 Marines belonging to the
Plymouth division this morning (part of the men
brought by the Terrible from Lisbon), with whom
she sailed this afternoon for Devonport.
The Recruit, 12, iron brig, was paid off yesterday,
having been declared unfit for further service. This
vessel went ten knots with grass on her bottom a foot
long, and the ship out of trim considerably, in the late
sailing's, with the Amphion, the Arab, and the
Nautilus; it is, therefore, but just to presume that
had she gone out with the same advantages as the
Amphion and the Arab she would have distanced
those vessels very creditably. We shall now see what
the Sharpshooter will do—we trust something to
reflect credit both on herself and her constructor.
By the Deliah, Adye, arrived at this port yester-
day, twenty-nine days from Quebec, laden with
timber for this dockyard, we have intelligence of the
Belleisle, 72, Captain Kingcome, at Quebec, em-
barking troops for England, with whom she was
to sail for Spithead on the day after the Deliah.
All well.
