MEMORIAL OF THE COMMITTEE
OF THE PEACE SOCIETY ON THE FRENCH
AGGRESSIONS IN OTAHEITE, &c.
To the Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston, M.P., her
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, and the other Right Hon. Members of her

Majesty' Government:—
The memorial of the Committee of " The Society for
the Promomtion of Permanent and Universal Peace,"
sheweth,

That your memorialists have read, from time to time,
the accounts of aggressions made upon the independence
of the Georgian and Society Islands, by the authorities
of France, with great and serious concern.

That your memorialists deeply deplore the conse-
quences of those aggressions, especially as seen in their
demoralising influence upon a population who were
but just escaping, through the efforts of British Chris-
mans from the darkness, cruelty, and crime, which
ever Characterise Pagan countries—in the restrictions
which have been placed upon the personal and religious
liberties of British subjects, and chiefly of teachers
of Christianity sent out from this, country —in the
fearful loss of human life which has followed, and the
probability which there appears to be of a war
of extermination against the native inhabitants,
whose Queen has been banished, and whose property
is being destroyed ;—as well as in the danger which
must exist whilst these circumstances continue of some
misunderstanding arising between the British and
French Governments, by which the present peaceful re-
lations of these two great empires towards each other
might be disturbed—a result to be deprecated by every
benevolent and Christian mind almost beyond any other
that could arise.

Your Memorialists do therefore earnestly pray that
every moral and pacific means which her Majesty's
Government can employ, with a view to terminate
the horrors of this unequal conflict, may be at once
and vigorously used ; and that her Majesty's
Government will especially seek to obtain, by
firm, but peaceful means, the acknowledgment
on the part of the French Government of the
full and entire independence of the Society Islands, and
that if the Queen of Otaheite may not be permitted to re
turn to her rightful dominions, such of her subjects as
may be inclined to do so have full liberty to leave the
island, and settle themselves elsewhere, where they shall
not be required to acknowledge the authority of French
rule, which it appears a very large proportion of them
are unwilling to do.
And your Memorialists' &e.
Signed, on behalf of the Committee,
JOAN JEFFERSON, Secretary.
Peac3 Society, 19, New Broad-street, London.

THE ROMANCE OF THE POST-OFFICE

RECTORY FOR 1846.
Aut—" The Old English Gentleman."
We hear of days long passed away, and glorious times of old,
And how Young England's sons affirm we're getting dull and mid;
But yet romance is not quite dead—in common daily life
She still exists ; of which great fact you'll find examples rife
In the Post Office Directory all of the present year.
(Chorus dependent upon the convivial or musical propensities of the
listeners.)

There's Faith at Lloyd's—Rope in the Temple ; but it ill may sound

M. Tom Puiwrs.—This veteran of genuine
English song (the uncle of Mr. Henry Phillips) took his
usual annual winter dinner in the stateroom of the
Guildhall Coffee-house on Friday last; Barnes, Esq.,
in the chair; the beneficiaire on his right hand—Pro-
fessor Taylor, the Gresham lecturer on music, on his
left. The latter, in adding to the Chairman's proposal
of Mr. Phillips's health, said he had known his friend,
Mr. Phillips, for nearly half a century, and passed a
most glowing eulogium on his abilities as a vocalist—
" the best and last," said Mr. Taylor, "of the true
Incledon school." Mr. Phillips was in excellent voice,
and sang " The bold Arethusa" and his new ballad of
" Douglas Bay," with all the vigour of early youth. The
veteran was then requested to sing l)ibdin's " Lovely
Nan;" when Mr. T. Williams (the founder of the Dibdin
Club), after paying a warm tribute to the memory of
" the sailor poet," gave some beautiful selections from
the songs of the nauticayyrist, which drew forth much
admiration. Mr. Waite., served up the dinner, and
furnished the wines in excellent style, and the evening
passed off with the utmost hilarity.
CONVERSION TO ROME.—Mr. Cox, of Exeter Col-
lege, Oxford, was received last week into the Roman
Catholic Church at St. Mary's College, Oscott.
_ _

We understand that the Rev. R. W. Sibthorp has
lately been on a visit to his Roman Catholic friends
near Birmingham.
ROBBERY IN livDE-PARK.—lnformation was re-
ceived by the police on Monday, that between 9 and 10
o'clock a gentleman named Miller, residing at Kensing-
ton, was proceeding across the western part of the park,
towards Kensington, when, at a lonely part, he was
attacked by two men, who knocked him down, and
robbed him of his purse containing six sovereigns and
eleven shillings in silver, with which they made their
escape.
