While the.furs were observed to adorn
Vast numbers of England's fair daughters.

THE 69T11 REGIMENT.—MALTA, JAN. 12.—One
day last week a man of the grenadier company, Ist bat-
talion, 69th Regiment, garrisoned in Melia, and named
11.Carthy, after the lights were put out, was heard by
one of his comrades to be walking about the room, and
the sergeant who slept near heard the sound of a ram-
rod. In the mean time the man M`Carthy was seized
by his comrade, who found his musket in his hand, and
the sergeant rushing in, seized him and placed him in
confinement, when he declared that his gun was loaded
for the adjutant, Lieutenant Denis Dunn, and that if he
was prevented then from carrying out his plot) he would
do so on another occasion. His musket on being sub-
sequently examined was found to be loaded, though the
man had not time to put on the percussion cap. The
only assignable motive for the above act is the fact that
some weeks ago, in consequence of several of the men
having been found drunk, the colonel gave an order that
each should answer to his name at roll call, and on the
first occasion, the adjutant, hearing some murmuring,
turned the men out, and particularly addressing himself
to M'Carthy, desired him to be quiet. A general court-
martial will sit on the 14th instant to try the prisoner
for the above crime.
LatONOlti, A NOTEL. 3 Vou.—ln our notice of
this novel we failed to refer to the very general report,
and, indeed, the direct assertion, that it.; is written by
Lady Boothby, better known to elf her admirers by the
name of Mrs. Nisbet', wk ohms thus proved thesniversality
of her talent in depicting character both as a novelist and
an actress; and also proved that no one can be eminent as
the latter, without possessing a sense of grace and a
poetic spirit, that only requires the 'literary power to
manifest itself with the pen.—.lerrold's Weekly Paper.
[There is no doubt of the truth of the report, that Lady

JEWISH DISABILITIES.— The Mayor and Town
Council of Congleton, Worcester, Gateshead, Ports-
mouth, Yarmouth, Beverley, Leicester, Canterbury,
Truro, Redruth, London, Bristol, Hull, Falmouth, Man-
chester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Boston, Dunfermline,
Castle Douglas, Alnwick, and Cambridge, have already
agreed to petition for the removal of Jewish disabilities.
Only one municipal corporation, that of Jr dburgh, has
petitioned against the Bill ; nor has there been a single
public meeting anywhere ventured upon by the oppo-
nents of the nseasure ; while in the metropolitan
boroughs of Southwark, Greenwich, Lambeth, the
Tower Hamlets, Finsbury, Westminster, Chelsea, and
Brompton, the advocates of the measure, have tested
public opinion, by calling open meetings in its support.
THE LATH MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT THE
EUSTOX-SQUARE TERMINUS. DEATH OF ANOTHER
SUFFERER.—On Friday evening last, a man named
James Hickey, another of the unfortunate men em-
ployed on the building which fell at the Easton-square
Terminue of the London awl North-Western Railway;
died at the University College Hospital, Gower-street,
this making the third sufferer who has died. There
were eleven summed into the hospital, of whom two now
alone remain, and they are going on favourably.
WBSIATAX Missione.—Yesterday evening the an-
niversary meeting of the Great Queen-street (Lincoln's
Inn-fields) Branch of the Wesleyan Missionary Society,
was held at the Wesleyan Chapel, Great Queen-street,
to receive the report for the past year. There were pre-
sent the Rev. Dr. Beaumont, who presided, the Rev. W.
Lomas, the Rer. W. Itlinzworth, Mr. T. Smith, a native
of Cape Coast Castle, &c., with a large and highly
respectable number of the supporters of the society.
The Rev. Chairman, in a lengthened address, pointed out
the importance of promoting conversions to Christianity.
The Secretary then read the report, which stated that
" without some special effort, the income of the Societ'
would this year fall far short of the preceding year;
the consequence of which would be, that they would be
under the necessity of giving up some of their missionary
stations. In Ireland there had been a decrease in the
body of about 600; while in France, Switzerland, and
Gibraltar, they had made no advance, except that at the
last named place there was an increase attending the
schools. In America, New South Wales, Australia
Felix, Van Diemen's Land, and South and West Africa,
their prospects were flourishing; while it was intended
to have a missionary establishment in China. They had
in various parts of the world 294 missionary stations,
2,597 chapels and places of worship, 417 missionaries
and supernumeraries, 771 interpreters and school
teachers, and 7,674 ditto unpaid, 700,000 scholars, Stc.
'rho income of their Branch Society was 3291. 19s. Bd.,
being a decrease, as compared with the previous year, of
641. 12s. The report was received and adopted.
FATAL ACCIDENT OX THE NITHSDALE RAIL-
WAY.—A very shocking accident occurred on the Niths-
dale line of railway, on the afternoon of Monday last' at
the Bankhead cut, a little way above the embankment
which leads through the Holms. A number of men
were engaged in the waggon face, in the act of' filling
the waggons, when a great quantity of the earth rushed
down, and buried under it Peter Redmond, a native of
Ireland. Only a small portion of his body was covered,
but his head was disfigured in a dreadful manner. His
death was instantaneous.—Dumfries Standard.
GBEEMOCK.—The ship carpenters strike is now at
an end in all the building yards. Yesterday, Messrs.
Simmons and Co.,'s men were taken on, and to-day
Messrs. Steel and Co.'s are at work. The wages are to
r be as formerly, 245. a week. We understand, likewise,
that Messrs. Neill, Fleming, and Reid, wool spinners,
who stopped payment about two months ago, have re-
, slimed working, or so about to do so.

IRELAND.
REPLY OF DR. APHALE TO_ THE EARL

OF SHREWSBURY.
This epistle is of such tremendous length, that we
can merely give its tenor.
The Prelate begins by asking the Noble Lord in
what Ministerial office he has taken out his commis-
sion to manage the concerns of the Catholic Church
of Ireland. A late order for fast and thanksgiving
was sent by the Viceroy. to Catholic as well as Pro-
testant churches. This is of a piece with the letter
of Lord Shrewsbu, who is accused as one of those
"discreet Catholics' that Atinisters love to employ.
Dr. WHale says that Lord Arundel's letter did not
breaths that "slavish and unchristian insolence which
marks the communication of other English Catholic
Peers, who are mere suitors for Ministerial favours.
After a lively description of the miseries of the risk
population, the writer :pleads in his own beha f the
absence of crime in his peduliar diocese. Unfortu-
nately the good Prelater never alludes to Major
Mahon's murder, wl-ich took place in his vicinity, mad
led to the letters of the Catholie Peers. This is a
very singular omission.
The Prelate then denounces the system of chari-
table societies in Ireland, who, under English influ-
ence, undertake to feed and preserve children from
perishing of famine, by receiving them into schools.
Dr. M'Hale calls this an abominable scheme of
proselytism.
To another charge of Lord Shrewsbury the answer
is as follows :

"As one proof of its spiritual destitution, the re-
peal rent' is paid throughout the diocese to forward
the measure of the repeal of the legislative union !
Yes ; and your Lordship's surprise, but echoing the
affected surprise of our enemies, will only strengthen
our determination. Poor as we are now, as your
Lordship supposes, in respect to schools and chapels,
we were far poorer and more destitute when we sup-
ported, by similar pecuniary sacrifice, the Catholic
Association. Did your Lordship or your fellow-
Peers, now so much scandalised at the right of
citizens claimed by the priests of Ireland, after the
example of St. Paul, then launch any indignant
philippics against their so• called political inter-
ference ? Oh, no! as long as the Catholic
Peers of England—dead• to society—from the
lowest offices of which they were excluded—
slept, like the enchanted knights of old, in the keeps
of their baronial castles, bristling with the penal
terrors which kept aloof the approach, nay, the very
hope of liberty—a slumber in which they would have
still lain, without much loss to society, had it not
been for O'Connell and the Catholic priests and people
of Ireland—we do not find that there was uttered
any complaint from any quarter against that sacred
influence that marshalled the men in this peaceful and
moral warfare, until the mighty chief routed the
dragons of grim enactments, that were keeping ward
around their mansions, and the clangour of emanci-
pation awakened them once more to freedom and to
life. Who could have imagined that it would have
been since the chief labour of some of those Lords to
propitiate the inveterate bigots, whose joy at their
bondage could only be equalled by their rage at their
liberation, and not only to forget the former sharers
in their sufferings, but, worse than the companions
of Joseph, who only forgot his captivity to labour to
forge new and more galling fetters for those who had
mainly contributed in shaking off their own. But
Peers hare certain
.privileges, among which, no
doubt, ingratitude is to be numbered. In this
very ingratitude, by which they are treated
by those from whom they had a right to
expect aid, the Catholic clergy find fresh evidence
to justify them in the course they have adopted. The
people and the priests contribute their mite to the
association out of their poverty, I will admit, and
not out of their abundance.'; This very sacrifice
proves their abhorrence of that mendicancy with
which they are reproached by their oppressors as a
national vice, and their unconquerable determination,
whilst they are as loyal as any portion of her Ma-
jesty's subjects, to be equally free. Like the hus-
bandman who sows in spring to reap in harvest, they
give their little offering now to obtain that sound
legislation which will secure the fruits of industry,
and avert the recurrence of those famines that deco-
late the land, which, no scarcity alone but bad laws
have brought on, and which those cruel and unequal
laws are terribly aggravating. As the destitution,
the disorders, ai.d the crimes that afflict the courktry
spi ing from those bad laws, as a troubled stream Nom
a bad fountain, what more laudable in the pastors of
the people than to labour peaceably for having sub-
stituted in their place, a system of wise and benevolent
legislation ? As another source of " spiritual destitu-
tion " is the want of national schools, perhaps your
Lordship might inform the public whether, from any
recent alliance with the National Board, your sym-
pathies have any kindred leaning to that body. If
so, will your Lordship report likewise of the Protestant
catechism, that is surreptitiously taught to Catholic
children, in "me of those few national schools that
are forced on the ordinary of the diocese, even by
Catholic Commissioners, in defiance of the rights of
episcopal authority—nay, of the supreme authority
of the pope ? Is your Lordship aware that it was the
instruction of his Holiness that the property of the
national schools resorted to chiefly by Catholics should
be vested in the Catholic pastors, and that in opposi-
tion to that admonition every art has been employed
to induce the present patrons to resign their leases and
vest the property of the schools exclusively in this
dictatorial body, under the pretence of keeping them
in repair, as if they could not be kept in repair under
their present trustees and patrons ?"
Dr. continuos to plead, that if he does not
patronise schools, he fosters and founds monasteries,
which are much better.
The Archbishop defends his enmity to the tem-
perance movement by affirming that the Irish are
quite as temperate as the English or Scotch, and that
the drunkenness of the Irish is a mere invention of
the Londonera!
