cu uu► scion for rea•aiging the aff it o the I htehy o
Lancaster. We have a word or ratio to say ab,,ut th,
exit eme absurdity- of this whole affair, unless something
worse than mere absurdity he Heti we sus
pect to oe the case. It is said by persons who have more
knowledge of the projects entertained in certain high
places than we can pretend to, that some monstrous job
is in view. It is believed that something is about to be
done with the property of the Duchy which was thought
rather too much for sole responsibility, and therefare it
it was deemed expedient to lay it upon the aggregate
shoulders of a Royal Commission. Certainly, if there is
nothing to be done beyond managing the ordinary re-
venues of the Duchy with care and economy, the organi
sation or so portentous a commission for i.o small an affair
is one ot the most ridiculous things that ever was done.
Here we have a Noble Baron very learned in the law; one
who has filled the first legal offices, and advised in the
weightiest and most important affairs for the last thirty
years, occupying the office of Chancellor of the Duchy.
But all his learning and all his experi- ace are not suffi-
cient. lie must be helped by three Earls and an ex-
Secretaty of State fur the Home Department. And
what is this exceedingly grand Commission to do?
What are the mighty details of revenue which it will
have to inaoage? Is there any prospect that by the
clubbing of their wits they may enable her Majesty to
have the pleasure of paying off the national debt with
the preceids ot the commission-governed Duchy of Lan,
caster? Here comes tha absurdity. Every man of the
Commission, except Lord Lincoln, whose fortunes are in
expectancy, has a revenue of his own equal to, or ex-
ceeding that, ot the Duchy of Lancaster. And what
would Lord Hardwicke, or Lord Spencer, or Sir
James Graham say to any one who should propose
to any of them a commission of three Earls and an
ex-Secretary of State to manage their estates for
them? Would they not regard such a proposition
as more fit 'or Bedlam than any other place; yet
there they are, compiling and compounding such
wisdom as they can muster, to manage on the Queen's
behalt certain, land revenues amounting to between
twenty and twenty-five thousand a year ! We really
are surprised that Lord Campbell should require this
kind of assistance. We should have thought that " plain
John Campbell " would have been quite sufficient for a
matter of such moment as toe government of the Duchy
of Lancaster, and rluw that he is a Lord and an ex-
Chancelior of Ireland, we do not see that he should be
considered disqualified for transacting such business as
ou.d render soy chief clerk in a solicitor's office un-
worthy of his salary, if he could not properly manage.
As soon as Lord Campbell has the opportunity. it will
be necessary for him to explain to the public how this
Commission of three Earls and an ex Secretary of
State nits bt come necessary to manage a poverty not
one-third so great as that possessed by many 'Members
of the House in which his Lordship sits. It will be
necessary to explain what these men are wanted for, if
not for ayob ; and if a job, what job ?
(From the Chronicle.)
The Morning Post of yesterday contained the follow-
ng article:—
" On the sth of October we made the following state-

ment.—
" We understand that a department of the Govern-
ment, hitherto carried on under a chief, is, for the
future, to be managed by the same chief, assisted by a
board of unpaid commissioners. The namea of the latter
we are not yet at liberty to disclole; but, if we mistal,:e
not, they will throw a very curious light on the present
state of parties in this country.'
" There is now no longer any necessity for preserving
the secresy that was at the time imposed on us. The
department alluded to is that of the Duchy of Lancaster,
and the intended Board of Commissioners—however
surprising the fact may appear to our readers—will be
composed of the Earl SPENCER, the Earl of Lincoln, Sir
James Graham, and the Earl of Harwicke !
" We were strictly correct in saying that these com-
mission-rs will receive no pecuniary emolument; but we
do hear that certain arrangements have been made in
reference to the distribution of patronage, by virtue of
which the new board will not be left altogether without
influence. Indeed, it is hinted that this provision is so
ample as to have already excited no inconsiderable in-
dignation in a Noble Lord, who imagines that he has
been unfairly deprived of the advantages he formerly

possessed.
"Of this, however, we know nothing ; it is for
the present quite enough for us to' know that two
members of Sir Robert Peel's late Cabinet, and a noble-
man who held an appointment in the royal household
under the same Administration, have accepted office at
the bands of Lord John Russell. Were we altogether
wrong when, five weeks ago, we ventured to say that
the circumstance would throw a very curious light on
the present state of parties in this country ?' "
We have good reason for believing that the foregoing
sta'ement contains a very erroneous impression of the
real facts of the case. It has for some time been con-
sidered highly expedient that a permament board should
be established for the management of the property of
the Crown in the Duchy of Lancaster; and, if we mistake
not, a somewhat similar arrangement already exists for
the manageme it of the estates of the Duchy of Cornwall.
The commissioners appointed are Earl Spencer, the Earl
of Hardwicke, Lord Portman, the Earl of Lincoln, and
Sir James Graham ; 'but the political duties and pa
tronage of the duchy rem tins as before with the Chan-
cellor. The inferences, therefore, which our Contempt).
rary has attempted to draw are scarcely warranted
by the facts. But if the case were otherwise, and if
these appointments had more of a political cha.
racter than can be fairly attributed to them, we may at
least express a doubt whether the public at large would
'ake that very particular interest in the matter, one way
or the other, which the Morning Post appears to expect.
We imagine, from our Contemporary's tone, that he
much exaggerates, in his own mind, the impression
which a political rumour of this sort is just now calcte
Toted to produce. Very " surprising" it would be, no
doubt, to your regular-bred, professed politicians, to hear
of the ex-members of a Conservative" Cabinet taking
office under a " Whig" Premier. Quite exciting. So
wilful a forgetfulness, or so daring a defiance, of respect-
able and old-established political traditions, would, we
are sure, produce an immense sensation in all " political
circles." To the clubs, or so much of them as may be
left at this season of the year, it would be a profoundly
interesting and perfectly invaluable subject for intelli-
gent curiosity and cull. quy. Wo more than doubt,
however, whether the excitement would go deeper than
the surface of the political world. The good-natured,
insouciant public would take it quite easily. We should
not anticipate anything that could be called a " sensa-
tion," either of pleased or of displeased astonisment, at a ru
moured official arrangement which so aptly represents the ,
present anarchical fusion, or confusion, of political par-
ties. Our impression is, that public feeling on the
matter—what there may be of it—would simply amount
to a very moderate and quiet satisfaction at witnessing
so intelli2,ible a recognition of an undeniable political
fact. As the public is very much of opinion that the
nominal party distinctions of " Conservatism " and
" Whiggism " have ceased to symbolise real differences
of opinion and policy, the public would, on the whole,
be well enough pleased with an arrangement which
tended to reconcile forms with realities. The public is
so thoroughly possessed with the notion of the practical
unimportance of those distinctions—cares so little about
the mere pe-sonnel of the cast of official parts—is so
free from all st, ong resentments or predilections, preju-
dices, or favouritisma, of a party kind—and so intently
desirous of seeing itself served by those who possess
most ability and presumable inclination to serve it well
—that the reported re-introduction into office of sem,
of the ablest memh"rs of the late Government will seem
the most natural thing in the world. It will be taken
as a sort of " homage to truth and reason." We
are not at all sure, ever., that our gni:id, easy, philoso-
phical, omnibus-going public would be horrified
if the rumoured political amnesty and head-shaking
included the very highest personage in the realm of
Conservatism. It would lead us too far to inquire whe
ther our worty and respected omnibus-going public does
not carry its good-natured Jolt ranee to an extreme that
is more amiable than judicious. The present state of
our domestic politics has certainly, taken from the
ethical point of view, a somewhat mixed character.
l'here is evil as well as good in this universal oblitera-
tion of old land marks—this prevalent disposition to
accept or condemn public men, without much reference
to the past, by the sole and exclusive test of their pre-
sumed competency for present and future public service.
Without, however, going into those delicate and some-
what entangled questions which the existing aspects of
our political world offer to the consideration of the
moralist, we cannot but contemplate, with much hopeful
complacency, the more immediate practical tendencies
of this state of things. It is unquestionably a great ad-
vantage to the country that her Majesty's Ministt rs are
able to approach the grave and difficult vroblerns that
will present themselves for solution during the next ses-
sion of Parliament, unembarrassed by any opposition of
a party character: We do not know that we can un-
qualifiedly congratulate Ministers themselves on the en-
joyment of this novel and extraordinary privilege, which
though affording certain rare facilities for beneficent
action, is not altogether without its attendant inconveni-
ences. Exemption from the peculiar embarrassments of
party antagonism implies a corresponding and equivalent
destitution of the peculiar aids arrising from party con-
nexion and support. The position of a Government
which has as little to hope as to fear from the old tra-
ditional forces of party organization—which, while it is
in no danger of falling by its party weakness, is equally
unable to stand on its party strength—which has posi-
tively nothing to rest upon but the excellence of its mea-
sures, and their felt adaptation to the demands of opinion
and events—is a position, the diffieuties of which Obvi-
ously bear a large proportien to its facilities. At the
same time, we cannot doubt but that the statesmen who
have deliberately accepted the new conditions which
circumstances have annexed to official power in this
country, are well prepared to abide the test by which
henceforth all public men must stand or fall. We are
persuaded that her Majesty's Ministers, however deeply
sensible of the magnitude of those difficulties with which
they have to grapple, must feel themselves cheered and
invigorated by the conviction, that the important ques-
tions of social reform now under discussion may be dealt
with freely and boldly, according to their own real and
independent merits, and that no well-devised measure of
public usefulness has anything to fear from a factious
and obstructive opposition.

TUB FORESTS.—The Duke of Leeds and party
have shot seventy•five head of deer in Mar Forest. Lord
Henry Bentinck has killed thirty-eight at Inchrory.
The latter, with kindlier feelings than his ducal neigh-
bour, allows large numbers of sheep to be reared in the
forest of Glenavon, of which he is lessee—and hence the
paucity of the deer killed by himself and party in com-
parison with the large number slaughtered by his Grace
of Leeds.—lnverness Courier.

Coloml Mercer, RA., Colonel Forlonr, KU., 43d

at the Ship Hotel.

rrnm the 'fact that the ex,easive improvements which
nave been in progress in the harbour dui ing the past three
ears have just been la: ou:f,ht to a close. The opportu-
nity of the noble and gat,ant Lord Warden's visa' was
chosen by the Commissioners to open, fur the firs time.
a very beautifully constructed swill.. bridge, which has
been thrown across a portion of the newly-conqructerf
duck, for the purpose of affording a cotniourocta on be-
tween the Esplanade, or Marine Psra fe, anti the body of
the town. This intention, on the part of the Commis
sioners, having become very generally known, the har-
bour and its vicinity presented an unusual scene of
activity this morning, and !cog before the ariivtl of the
Duke of Wellington, the Parade, in front of the Harbour-
house, formed a nucleus for the assemblage of a great
many of the leading inhabitants of Down
At half-past eleven o'clock the noble and illustrious
Duke's carriage was observed descending the Castle-hill
from the Waliner-road. His Grace took the left-hand
road after passing the castle, and, proceeding along the
back of Waterloo-crescent, arrived on the south side of
the new bridge at 25 minutes past twelve o'clock.
Sir Brook W. Bridg, s, Bart., Mr. W. Deedes, M.P.,
Mr. J. P. Ptumptre, M.P., sir. H. H. Jenkittson. Mr.
W. 0. Hammond, the Mayor of Diver W. Cock),
and other of the Commissioners, attended by Mr. James
Walker, civil engineer, and Mr. P. Hardwick, architect
to the board, were here in attendance to receive the
Noble and Gallant Duke, who, on reaching the bridge,
ordered his carriage to stop, and entered into conversa-
tion with the Commissioners for some moments. Mr.
Walker invit* d the Duke to alight and walk over the
bridge, but his Grace preferred crossing in his carriage.
The word having been given, the coachman gave his
horses the rein, and as their feet touched the iron
roadway a salute from the battery on the heights
greeted the Lord Warden's progress over the newly-
made channel. At the same moment the spectators,
who at this time had congregated in large numbers near
the spot, welcomed his Grace with loud cheers, which
continued at intervals throughout his progress to the
Harbour-house, where he was received by a guard of
honour of the 43d Light Infantry, und, r the command
of Captain Coote.
On alighting
.his .Grace was ioined by the following
members of toe Court of Assistants:—Sir Brook W.

THE NAVY.

The London Gazette of last night contains the pro-
motion of Commander Burridge to the rank of Captain,
alai the explanation that the Gallant Offici r's name
should have been included between that of Ralph Bar-
low and F. 11. H. Glasse, promoted to the rank of
Captain.
The Gazette also announces that the Board of Admi-
ralty, who had officially signified their intention of pro-
moting Commander F. W. Austell to the rank of Cap-
tain, for his gallant services in command of the Alecto
steam sloop at the passage of the large convoy by the
batteries of San Lorenzo, in the Parana, as soon as he
had served the period tapered at sea, signed a commis-
siou conferring Ott him the ra'ik of Captain, on the 11th
of Nov, tuber, Captain Austen having, up to that date,
been in command of the Alecto, for one year. We a al-
gratulate the Gallant Officer on the prompt reward f. r
which,poiritnogn aouf(t).rmletr 'isecbaysl°slh ready ac-
knowledgment we took the
that officers like Captain Austen will be
encouraged to repeat these lessons to an enemy which
those services,
Captain. Austen's gallant father, Vice-Admiral Sir F.
Austen, the Commander-m-Chief in the West Indies,
and other distinguished ornaments of the profession,
were in the habit of frequently inculcating during their
early career.
We are also gratified to perceive by the welcome
Gazette that another officer, whose claims to the favour
of the Admiralty on more than one occasion we have
ventured to bring before their Lordships, has received
his well earned promotion. Commander Edward Halkett
Beauchamp Proctor, who had been 10 years a lieutenant
and mate, as we have before stated, commanded the
Dwarf steam-tender, when she conveyed the Queen and
Prince Albert to their visit to the Great Britain steam-
ship, and naturally expected his promotion on that occa-
sion. At the late affair at San Lorenzo, Commander
Proctor ran great risk with the little, slow, and ineffi-
cient steamer Harpy, that he commanded, and only
escaped with a severe wound in his side.
Lieutenant Lauchlan B. Mackinnon is likewise in the
Gazette promotion, for gallant services in the Parana.
He was second lieutenant of the Gorgon steam-sloop,
passed in 1836, and was promoted in 1842.
THE FLAG PROMOTION.—In the arrangement of the
flag promotion, as it appeared in the Gazette of Tuesday,
there was no error committed in the number of vice
admirals. The death of Rear-Admiral Walpole Browne
had not been officially reported to the Admiralty, and
thus they were obliged to count him as one of the num-
ber. Whenever the death of an officer takes place, the
friends of the deceased should immediately communi•
came the fact to the Admiralty.
THE COAST- OF AFRICA.—We announced a few days
since the appointment of a captain to supersede the
commander at present holding the appointment of go-
vernor at Ascension, Commander Morrell having been
most considerately appointed to the Hydra, steam sloop,
there, and the vessel being ordered home to be paid off,
he will have an opportunity afforded him of removing
his family to this country. r The state of affairs at As-
cension has been too long left without a practical revi-
sion, although we have reason to believe the Admiralty
have been most desirous to put an end to that. in former
times occasionally, but now continually, " topping the'
officer" there by some captain or commander who might
happen to drop his ancher at Ascension. It has at length
become so intolerable that the Admiralty, with the view
of bringing about a proper adjustment of th difficulties
and grievances on the island and on the coast. have
determined to send out a post captain to he governor
there. This appointment will have another very benefi-
c;al effect. The absence of a competent tribunal to take
cognisance of and to adjudicate on gross br-aches of dis-
cipline and infringement of the Articles of War, has pro-
duced a state of anarchs in some of our sloops, most
detrimental to the service. By the appointment 0,
Captain Hutton a court-martial can be easily formed.
and cases of the kind above referred to can be disposed
of without sendirnt ships to England for that purpose.
MEN OF WAR COMPLEMENTS.—We copy the follow-
ing from an evening paper:—" Admiralty Change.—
It is rumoured that Captain Berkeley will retire from
the Admiralty, from the determination of the board to
reduce the complement of the different ships' crews, he
having always contended for a full complement." We
have heard from good authority, that so far from Cap-
tain Berkeley offering any objection to the proposed re-
ductien of complements, the new scale is in accordance
with the Gallant Captain's own suggestions. It is na
rural enough, however, to suppose, from past experience,
that Captain Berkeley, who has shown such decided
opposition to what were termed peace complements, will
never be a party to impairing the efficiency of our sea-
going ships; and the reductions, as represented, would
warrant a belief that they were such as he could not
recommend, or for a moment acquiesce in. From what
we hear of the matter, judicious classification, not re
duction, is the object of the Admiralty. We may safely,
then, trust to Captain Berkeley, whose sacrifices on this
point entitle him to confidence. There can be no mis
take as to his views about manning our ships; if there
were, hi last speech in the House of Commons, on
the subject which is now before us, would be quite
c uiclusive.—Morning paper.

Commission, the following new members of the Court of
Assistants were appointed :—Captain D'Aeth, R.N. (of
Knowlton), in the room of the Earl of Guildford, re-
signed ; and Sir Edward Cholmeley Dering, in the room
of Mr. F. K. E. Morris, of Betsanger.
In the course of the morning a deputation, consisting
of several of the leading municipal authorities, waited on
the Court of Assistants, for the purpose of presenting a
memorial on the subject of a further improvement of the
harbour. The memorial, having been handed into the
Court, was read by Mr. Hardwick, the deputation mean-
while remaining in an ante-room.
The following is a copy of the document :
" To the Hon, the Warden and Assistants of Dover
harbour,
" The memorial of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Bur-
gesses of the borough of Dover, in council assembled,—
" Showeth,—That your memorialists view with con-
siderable anxiety and alarm the rapid improvements
made and making at the neighbouring ports of Ramsgate
and Folkestone for affordin4 facilities for the embarka
tion and disembarkation o' passengers at all times of tide.
"That the staple trade of th(s important town has
from time immemorial been the conveyance of the
mails and passengers to and from the Continent, and
has until lately been productive of great benefit to its in-
habitants.
" That its proximity to the Continent gives it advan-
tages superior to any pert in the channel, but which
appear to your memorialists to be rapidly passing away
from it in consequence of the improvements of the ports
before alluded to.
" That it appears to your memorialists the only weans
left for the restoration of the passaze to and from 1 lover,
are the adoption of measures for rendering its harbour
at all time accessible to steam-vessels, and as the only
power to effect this appears to your memorialists to be
vested in your lion. Beard, they most earnestly implore
your Honourable Board to immeJiately adopt such im-
provements, alterations, or additions to the present
works, either by the extension of the south pier, or
otherwise, as shall seem most suitable to the wants of
the passengers' traffic, and the uninterrupted expeditio❑
of the pnblic mails ; and your memorialists venture to
suggest to your Honourable Board, that such improve-
ments would not only conduce to the prosperity of the
port in times of peace, and to the security and increase

"LEDGER, Town clerk."

The Lord Warden and Assistants having duly con-
sidered the memorial, invited the deputation to an
audience, when the following reply was read by the
secretary :
The board having read the memorial of the corpo-
ration of Dover, on the importance of a low-water com-
munication from this port for the ct nvey ance of
passengers and her Majesty's mails by means of the ex-
tension of trio harbour works, or the erection of a low-
water pier in the bay, and having heard the statements
of a deputation from the corporation thereon, the board
inform the deputation that the means of this commission
do not enable them to continue the works requisite for
the above purpose ; but the board fully agree that the
statement in the memorial as to the importance of a low-
water pier for the interests of Dover, and the value of
the property of the Commissioners in Dover, as well as
for the national objects embraced in the memorial, and
particularly having reference to the relative positions of
Calais and Dover, and are therefore disposed to give
every facility in their power towards the promotion and
completion of the object."
Mr. BIRMINGIIASI (of the Ship Hotel), and other
theom Enideputation,ssoi
nu rge
do n presenting themselves
members
the
prayer ut the memo-
rial with great ability and earnestness, but it is believed
rorbe ertsheofC
that the reply of the Court to the same was quite as
favourable as was anticipated.
The deputation having retired, the Lord Warden, ac
companied by the Court of Assistants, Mr. Walker, Mr.
Hardwick, and various other officials, left the Harbour-
house, for the purpose of inspecting the recently coin-
pleted works, a brief sketcl of which may be interesting
in this place.
The improvements were commenced) in May, 1844.
They consist chiefly of an extension of the outer Itartieur
to the eastward, the additional sweetie of water thus
obtained covering upwards of four mires. To gain this
space, a vast quantity of houses standing on the Ord-
nance property, and nearly the whole of Union-street
(except Latham's Bank) have been pulled down. The
new dock walls rendered necessary by this extension
are built in a remarkably substantial manner and faced
with granite. On the eastern side of the new dock there
is a ". slip," for the purpose of allowitig esrts to ap.
proach vessels lying in that portion et thy. haibeur. A
beaching place is also provided in the new dock. The
next principal feature in the improvements is a
new entrance to the " pent " or inner harbour.
This entrance opens from the new excavations,
and is nearly double the width of the old
northern gates, measuring nearly 66 fl et wide,
and having three feet more wader, thus admitting ves-
sels of a far larger burden than heretofore. It is pro-
vided with lock-gates, formed of massive cast-iron ribs,
with planks on each side to render them buoyant.
Across thin entrance, the swing-bridge, above alluded to
is thrown. This work is a very beautiful specimen of
mechanical ingenuity, having a span of 60 feet, and a
roadway 16 feet wide. It has been cast under the di-
rection of Messrs. Hunter and EnJish, of B tw-creek,
from the design of Mr. Walker. The other works, in
brief, consist of a stone apron (technically so called),
which has been thrown up between Cheeseinan's Head
and the south pier, for the purpose of protecting that
portion of the harbour; the excavation of the " pent "
or inner harbour, to make it available tor larger vessels ;
the removal of the pilot- house further west, and the
erection of a sea wall from the terminus of the railway
to the harbour ; the latter work having been under.aken
by the directors of the South-Eastern Rahway Citm-
piny, who are about to erect a new hotel immediately
adjoining the Pier-head. The whole of the works have
been executed under the direction of Mr. Walker, Mr.
lathes Cooper being the resident engineer, and Mr.
Bray, of Leeds, the contractor for executing the a ork.
The Duke of Wellington, on commencing his inspec
lion, first proceeded along the mid-quay overlooking the
new basin. On reaching the swing-bridge, his Grace
minutely examined its construction, and expressed him-
self highly pleased with its general appearance and
utility. While the Noble and Gallant Duke stood on
one portion of the bridge, the other halt was swung
round by, as it appeared to an ordinary observer, an
invisible agency. His Grace inquired what was the
power required to set the ponderous mass in motion;
and on being informed by gr. Walker that one man
only was employed, and that he performed the duty with
great ease, he expressed his unqualified admiration of
the ingenuity the work displayed. Before the Lord
Warden left this portion of the works, it was suggested
by the Mayor of Dover that the inhabitants would
(-steam it an honour if the Noble and Gallant Duke
w eild allow the bridge to be named after himself.—
" The Wellingt.oa Bridge." The suggestion having
been communicated to his Grace by Mr. Hardwick, he
very good-humouredly replied, " Oh, by all means; I
can hove no objection, if you will have it so. Let it be
called the Wellington Bridge." The party subsequently
walked over the whole of the new works, visiting, lastly,
the south-western portion of the harbours where the
railway company's sea wall is in progress of erection.
His Grace inq tired by whom this portion of the worsts
was being carried on; and Mr. Walker having inform td
him that the directors of the South-Eastern Railway
here carrying it out, and thUt they intended to erect an
hotel near the spot, he expressed his approbation of the
liberality and enterprise of the company.
While going over the works Mr. Walker took occasion
to introduce to the Lord Warden Mr. Cooper, the
dent engineer, and Mr. Bray, the contractor, both of
whom were cernplimented by hie Grace.
While returning to tne Ilsrbour-h-use the Noble
Duke met and immediately recognised Sir John llam 1-
ton, formerly of the packet service, and who still in-
variably attends the members 9f the Royal Family on
their passages to the continent. The Noble Duke walked
and conversed with Sir John for some minutes.

VISIT of the POPE to the ABBESS
OF THE BASILIAN NUNS OF MINSK.

The Univers publishes the following account of a visit
paid by the Pope to the Superioress of the Basilian nuns
of Minsk, Macrina Mieczyslaska:—
On the 20th inst., the day of the Feast of the
Saint John Cantz, his Holiness repairs d in procession to
the Convent of the Trinity or. the Mount, where, since
her arrival in the Eternal City, the Abbess of Minsk has
resided. After the adoration of the Holy Sacrament the
Pope remo,,ed to one of the halls, in which the nuns of
the Sacred Heart and the pupils committed to their care
were permitted to kiss his ring. The Pope afterwards
ascended to the fir.t floor, where the Mother Abbess
awaited him at the entrance of the corridor leading to
her cell, accompanied by the Rev. Father Ryllo and the
Abbf Jolowicky The H sly Father, on perceiving her,
paused, and pointing to her with his right hand, said to
the Superioress, Madame de Coriolis, "Is that the
venerable martyr you have had the happiness to harbour
in your convent ?' He had scarcely spoken these words
when the Mother Abbess cast herself at his feet, and
remained in that position until the Pope raised her.
saying, Poor infirm woman, she has suffered so cruelly!"
Then steadily regarding her, he added, ." %Vnat strength
of mind in so feeble a body!" The P-pe afterwards
gave audience to the Mother Abbess in her reception
cell. The Abliess cast herself aga!ri at the feet of the
Holy Father, kissing theM, and bathing them
with her tears, and Pius IX., with that mild.
floss and firmness which constitute the principal
features of his character, addressed her in these
words:—" We thank God for having given to us, in an
age when the wonders of his grace are more necessary
thin ever, so signal a proof of it in the sufferings you
have so nobl, tolured, with your sisters, for tt.e faith of
Jesus Christ. In permitting tint. all to remain faithful
to his law, he has chosen humility and weakness to Cot,
found the power and pride of the enelnks of his church.
Let us glorify the Lord for that, and pray that he may
feign to accord us the same grAce for the accomPlish
merit of our mission." " Blessed be Jesus Chris.," re
plaid the Abh-ss, " for allowing me to hear from the
a,
mouth of his vicar words of life and hope. It is to our
great patron, St. John Cantz, that I am indebted for
such

our anxious desire that in Poland and through,out the
world the clergy should imitate his exainple. '
Mother Abbess then presented to the Pope Abb6 Jolo-
wicky, who had witn ssed her sufferings. The Holy
Father spoke to him most graciously and questioned him
resp-,cting the wounds of the Mother Abbess. The
latter then knelt, and the Holy Father, after joining her
in i prayer to the Virgin, gave her his benediction, and
retired, promising to pay the convent another visit.

SERVANTS BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—A meet-
ing in support of this institution was held on Wednesday
evening, at the Assembly-rooms, Kentish Town. This
institution was established in 1844 for the purpose of
building and endawing 40 almshouses, and providing a
relief fund for domestic servants, who, after a life of
industry and unsullied character, might become candi-
dates for general sympathy. Since the promulgation of
the plan, which has ben' generally approved by both
nesters and servants, various meetings In support of the
object have been held, but, up to June last, the subscrip-
tions received had only reached 2601., out of which about
1501. had been disbursed in the necessary expenses. It
was then resolved that the institution should be dissolved,
and the present meeting was called for the purpose of re-
establishing it on a somewhst different looting. Unfor-
tunately the meeting was so thin that no effective step
could be taken; but the promoters of the object are not
without hope that it may still be carried out.
THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT.—On Thursday
evening a meeting of members of different trades in the
district of Camberwell, Wal worth, and Kennington. was
held at Horder's Assembly Rooms, Francis-street, New--
ington, for the purpose of explaining the objects and co-
operating in the efforts of the Metropolitan Early (nosing
Association. Mr. Robinson was voted to the cha;r. A
deputation from the central board attuideti, and ad-
dressed the meeting, urging eloquently the evils of the
late hour system, and the success that had attended the
efforts that had been made in other districts, under cir-
cumstances the most discouraging. Several gentlemen
in th,t neighbourhood also addressed the meeting, and
spoke most favourably of the feelings of the employers,
employed, and purchasers in the district as to the move-
ment. A committee was then formed tocarry out the
views of the meeting, after which thanks were voted to
the chairman and the gentlemen composing the deputa-
tion. The meeting then separated.
FAT AL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIRMING-
HAM RAlLWAY.—Yesterday morning, about eight o'clock,
an accident which terminated fatally occurred near the
Camden-town statioo of the above line, to Charles Sea,
a railway porter. The deceased was pushing forward a
carriage, when he was jammed between the buffer and
that of another carriage behind him. He was extri"ed
and conveyed to University College Hospital. where, on
examination by Mr. Quain, the house surgeon, he was
pronounced to be quite dead.

CITY OF LONDON UNION.

REPORT AND REI-OLU I lONS RESPECTING
THE Ni)N-SE fTLE(> AND NON-RESIDENT
POOR.
TO THE BOARD OF GUARDIANS or TEE CITY OF
LONDON UNION.
We, your Committee to whom it was referred to con-
sider the recent Act to amend the laws relatii.g to the
removal of the poor. 9 -nd 10 Vic,., cap. 66, together
with the two circulars of the Poor-law C,,mtni,sioners,
and the opinions of the Attorney and Solicitor-General
thereupon, having caretully considered the same, beg
leave to re;:c•rt—
That we are of opinion, that the board of guardians
is not general') called upon to inlet-ere in matters of
settlement for pstticular pans s ; but in a ewe It ke the
present, which is to regulate the aeatmenr, Os a la .g-
-class 4)1 paup.rs belonging t one and all if the parishes
of this union, your Committee think it right that the
board of guardians should state the general principle
upon which they are disposed to act, with reference to
the recent statute.
We find that in the construction of the Act there
exist the most opposite and co..fliciing opinions, whereby
the practice of the several unions throughout the coun-
try has assumed an inconvenient diversity, highly detri-
mental to the interest of the poor.
We find that while many of the unions and parishes
are acting with large and liberal views there are too
many which have taken advantage of the uncertainty
of the Act, to relieve themselves from their just
burdens, and cast them upon the parishes or unions
where the poor, out of humanity, have been allowed to
reside ; in this strict view of the Act they are sup-
ported by the legal opinions of the Attorney-General,
the Solicitor-General, and other learned persons.
We are under a strong impression, however, that the
said Act was intended as a boon to the poor, and that
the Legislature, in passing it, never contemplated that
existing ascertained and acknowledged settlements should
be practically defeated, or that the relations between the
aged, infirm, and helpless poor, and their respective pa-
rishes should be annihilated.
We are of opinion, moreover, that the sudden with.
drawal of relief from the non-resident poor, many ol
whom are totally helpless and verging towards the grave,
would be attended with inconceivable hardship and
cruelty, by driving them to make out a new case, before
new and unknown masters, and perhaps subjecting them,
in their last years,. either to a workhouse or an entirely
different system and amount of relief.
We think such a practice so manifestly unjust towards
the poor, that we strting)y urge upon the board of guar-
dians the propriety of continuing their relief as hitherto,
to those non-resident poor, whose claims have been
already made out and acknowledged, until a proper
legal construction shall have been given to the said Act
of Parliament. We confine this recommendation, how-
ever, to old existing and settled claims, leaving the
several parishes of the union to take such cow se as they
may deem advisable with regard to new claimants.
We believe that this union has a larger number of
non-resident poor than any union iu the kingdom; and
we are aware that by acting in accordance with the
opinions of the Attorney and Solicitor-General, this
union might throw off the burden, not only of their
poor resident in the country, but also of the great ma-
j. lity of their out•door pour resident in London. We
think, however, that as such a determination would be
inconsistent with those humane principles upon which
the board of guardians of the city of London have al-
ways endeavoured to act, they ought not, unless in obe-
dience to a clear and express direction of Act of Parlia-
ment, to adopt it.
We clink, that should you agree with us in our re -
commendations, notice of your intention should be im-
mediately given to those unions wherein your out door
poor are resident.
Wish respect to the poor of other parishes or unions
resident in this union, whose relief has been withdrawn.
we recommend that the places to which they belong
-hould be apprised of the principles upon which you are
resolved to act, in the hope that such relief may be re-
stored; but in case of an unsuceessful appeal to such
places, and as long as the necessity lasts, we advise a
continuance to such persons of their accustomed relief;
at the expense of this union ; being disposed to recom-
mend an increase of your burdens, rather than that any
poor and helpless fellow-creature should be deprived of
the means of support.
All which we submit for your consideration.
Dated this 2d of November, 1846.
