Fredericton, New Brunswick, Feb. 26, 1847,__

" My Lord,—ln transmitting the first of a set of bills
for 1,2501. sterling, being the amount of a grant made
by the Assembly, in the present session, for the relief of
their fellow-subjects who are exposed to the horrors of
famine in Ireland and Scotland, it affords me great satis-
faction to inform your Lordship that the vote was passed
with a promptitude and unanimity which reflects credit
on the legislative bodies ; and I do not doubt that her
Majesty's Government will appreciate the humane and
loyal disposition which has actuated them in placing
this sum at the disposal of her Majesty's Government
for the relief of the suffering people of the United
Kingdom, who have on all occasions so promptly come
forward for the succour of the colonies when exposed to
similar trials.—l have, &c.,

(Signed) " W. M. G. COLEBROOKE.
" The Right lion. Earl Grey."

GOOD FRlDAY.—Yesterday being Good Friday,
was held as a strict holiday at the Bank, Custom-house,
and all public offices in London, except the Post-office.
ATTACK BY A BULL AT LUDLOW.—On Sunday
evening se'nnight, a bull, purchased by Mr. Waring, of
Corfton, from Mr. Ridgley, of Richard's Castle, was
being driven to the residence of his new proprietor, when
at Ludford- bridge, near this town, he suddenly attackedil
the two men driving him, and tossed one into the air. The
Twit:
poor man fell upon the parapet of the bridge,p
The bull then took his course through truly providential that.

walls, hedges, and ditches, and ran for their lives. After
about five hours had elapsed, the animal, which had been
assailed during the time with pikes, staves, brick-bats,
stones, and missiles of every description, was driven to
the race-course, tossing everything that came in his way,
and hurting several persons, but not dangerously. Hero
he took up his stand, and would proceed no further, and
it becoming dark, he was left there for the night. At
five o'clock next morning two men went to drive him
home, but the bull immediately attacked them, and they
bad a very narrow chance for their lives by escaping into
a tree, under which the bull stood from five o'clock till
1
eleven, keeping the men close prisoners in their retreat ;
when some " knights of the clearer" came up and dis-
patched the animal.—Hereford Journal.

KILKENNY SPRING FAIR.—The above fair was held
on Monday last. There was as large a supply of horned
cattle and sleep as we ever remember to have seen at any
former fair in this city. The stock, however, met with
but slow sale. There were few of the Meath buyers in
attendance; and those who were in town seemed by no
means inclned to come up to the expectations of the
sellers. The fair, however, ruled rather dull; and very
little stock, comparatively speaking, of any kind, changed
hands.—Kilkenny Journal.
Lord Glenelg and Mr. Montgomery have left town
to join the circle to assemble on visits to Lord Broughams
at Brougham Hall, for the holidays.
