On Thursday last his Excellency Earl Mulgrave
was entertained at a public breakfast by the subscr►bers to
the Lancasterian National School, and generally by the
friends of the new system of national education, in the
large school-room of the institution, which had been taste-
fully fitted up for the occasion with festoonings of ever-
greens, and other appropriate decorations. Professor
Cairns presided, and the company, which was very numer-
ous, consisted of a large proportion of the wealth and re-
spectability of the town and its neighbourhood. After
breakfast, the Committee in a body approached the place
where his Excellency was seated, and the Rev. J. Scott
Porter, in an impressive and energetic manner, read to his
Excellency an address, to which he made a suitable reply._
Belfast Journal.

The Earl of Winchelsea and family having visited
Sir R. W. Vaughan, Bart, at the hospitable mansion of
Nannau, and traversed the romantic scenery of that de-
lightful country, has proceeded on a tour through Wales.
The Noble Lord and his family passed some days at Bar-
mouth. 'the Duke of Newcastle and family are still en-
joying the romantic beauties of Aberystwith and Hafod.—

The General Steam Navigation Company's packet,
the Britannia, from . Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-

house last evening.

SHEFFIELD AND ROTHERHITHE RAILWAY.—
We understand that the point where it is proposed that

this line should join the North Midland, is as nearly as pos-

sible, four miles and three quarters from the town, and is
very near the Ickles.—Sheffield Independent.

The Dublin Evening Mail of Monday says that
" the Roman Catholic clergy and people of Waterford

have embalmed the corpse of the late Bishop Hussey, and
preserved it in the Roman Catholic Cathedral in that city,
and that it is occasionally—as they are credibly informed—
exhibited to the faithful to confirm them in their creed,
and to excite their devotion." As resident journalists we
think it right to say, that whoever be the informant of the
Evening Mail, the statement contains no portion whatever
of truth.—Waterford Mirror.
One hundred and fifty-three female convicts and
fifty-three settlers, embarked on Tuesday on board the
Roslin Castle, at Cove, for New South Wales. Another
ship is shortly-expected, as there are four hundred females
in the depot at this moment.—Dublin Register.

Since Spring Assizes, 1834, 295 men and 195
women were transmitted from the city jail of Limerick to
Cork, for transportation, after trial and conviction in the
Local Courts of that city.—Cork Reporter.

CORNWALL.—On Tuesday last the annual day as
prescribed by charter for the election of a Mayor for the
borough of Liskeard, passed over in silence for the first
time since the recollection of its oldest inhabitants. Not
one of the old corporatorscould be seen parading the streets i
as they were wont to do n their Aldermanic gowns and
Sunday-going clothes ! no ringing of bells ! no court ! no
presentments! no sumptuous dinner ! no wine ! no song!
no supper! Alas ! how truly astonishing on them the
effect of Lord John Russell's purge, and how truly verified
the declaration of one of their own body at a recent party,
That they had eat their last corporate dinner."—Devon-
port Telegraph.

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Satur-
day last, a swan of an unusual size and colour, being almost
black, was seen at Fairwater, near Cardiff, and was unsuc-
cessfully shot at by Mr. Pews. The " weatherwise" pre-
dict a very severe winter from so singular a phenomenon.—
Cambrian.

ACCIDENT IN HUNTING.—On Wednesday last,
a serious accident occurred to Edward Jowitt, Esq., of
Eltofts, while hunting with the Earl of Harewood's fox-
hounds, near Aberford. For a day or two serious appre-
hensions were entertained for his life, but we are happy to
say that up to yesterday he was rapidly advancing towards
recovery.—Leeds Mercury.

Within the last week, a coal porter at New Ross
had a quarrel with a Graigue lighterman, whom he chal-
lenged to fight. The boatman replied—" I will not fight
you, but I will do a day's work against you for fifteen-
pence."

An accident happened at the Duke of Welling..
linAon s seat at Strathficldsaye during her Majesty's visit.
About three o'clock on Thursday morning it was disco-
vered that a part of the premises was on fire, which is
stated to have originated in the flues that convey warm air
to the house, and the rafters of the kitchen and a portion
of the building in its vicinity were in a blaze. By great
exertions on the part of the Noble Duke's household, aided
by an excellent supply of water, the fire was completely got
under without any alarm being given to the illustrious
visitors of his Grace, the Queen not being aware of the cir-
circumstance till a short time before her departure for
Windsor Castle.

THE " OPERATIVES."—When men who procure
their subsistence by the hard and unremitting toil of twelve
or fourteen hours a day invite Members of Parliament to
be their,guests at a frugal and temperate repast ; when at
these entertainments speeches are delivered in which the
expression of ardent devotion to the cause of human im-
provement and good government is tempered with that
practical good sense which in the desire for the end does
not overlook the means ; and when, from beginning to end
of such repasts, there is not.to be seen a single individual
approaching to inebriety, nor is there to be heard a single
word at variance with decency and decorum ; when such
scenes are frequently witnessed amongst us, who is there
that can despair of the ultimate achievement of every rea-
sonable and practicable reform, or fear that other than
peaceable and legal means will be adopted for its accom-
plishment? A few months ago the working men of Ashton-
under-Lyne, gave a dinner to Mr. C. Hindley, M.P. ; last
week the same class in Stockport gave a supper to Mr. H.
Marsland, M.P. ; and last week a dinner has been given
to Mr. R. Potter, M.P., by the same class in Wigan.
On these occasions, twelve or thirteen hundred persons,
probably not one-tenth of the number being electors, heard
front the respective members of the borough a detail of
their Parliamentary services and an explanation of their
votes ; and on all the three occasions there was not the

slightest departure from a decorous, and, we will add, a
gentlemanly propriety, whilst at the same time those intel-
ligent and hard-working men gave full and manly utterance
to their political sentiments.—Manchester Times.
COMPENSATION COURT.-On Saturday Mr.
Wilkinson, a dealer in anti-corrosive paint, at No. 63, Up-
per Thames-street, that house being required for the pur-
pose of widening the street, claimed for his lease 275/. ; for
goodwill of his trade, 1,725/. ; for expenses of removal, and
costs consequent
_thereon, fixtures at a valuation, 700/. ;
total, 2,700/. Seveial witnesses were called to speak as to
the value of the property and business, but Sir W. Follett
observed that the question was whether Mr. Wilkinson
would be likely from the nature of the business, and its great
celebrity, to lose a single customer by removing from 63,
Upper Thames-street, to any other number in the street,
and there were plenty of houses to be had. Why were auc-
tioneers only called to prove the value of the house, when
the claimant had survey ors in Court, who were the fittest
judges of the stability of buildings ? The reason was ob-
vious. Mr. Wilkinson had no right to look for premises
near the Bank, and charge the Committee with the dif-
ference of rent between those premises and the house in
Upper Thames-street ; because the situation of the former
was infinitely better, and rents were consequently much
higher. The Jury retired for half an hour, and found
a verdict for the lease, Is. ; fixtures, as agreed by the
parties, 20/. ss. ; all loss and damage in removal, 450/. ;
total, 470/. 6s.

Letters from St. Petersburgh of the 13th inst., re-
ceived this morning, mention some scandalous conduct on
the part of the authorities there, the object of which it is
difficult to comprehend. The Alexander steam vessel,
from Quebec, arrived at Cronstadt between two and three
o'clock in the afternoon of the 11th ; the passengers' lug-
gage and nearly the whole freight of the vessel was put un-
der seal ; the letter bag was also detained, instead of being
despatched by the ordinary post ; and the letters and pas-
sengers only arrived in St. Petersburgh at two o'clock on
the following day. The letters were not delivered till ten
o'clock at night on the 12th. Our merchants connected
with that country are naturally in great indignation at this,
and inquire whether it is in tallow or in flax the Autocrat
of all the Russias is speculating, since it is difficult in any
other way to account for his laying the whole of the com
mercial correspondence from England under an embargo of
•36 hours' duration ?

VICTORIA THEATRE.—HanzIet was performed at this
house on Saturday evening, in which Mr George Jones,
from New York, made his fourth appearance in that cha•
ratter. In person and deportment Mr. Jones was not un-
qualified for the task, and throughout the part he exhibited
perfect case and self-possession. Though somewhat too
familiar occasionally in his manner, and in his delivery of
text too hurried, to make, as it is called, all " the points"
of the character, his performance afforded general satisfac-
tion, and was honoured with much applause. At the end
of the play, as is now customary, he was called for and
congratulated ; and he is announced to play Macbeth this
evening.
Sheridan Knowles dud his pupil, Miss Elphinstone, who
perform to-night at Nottitighatn, have made an extensive
and successful provincial tour. lie is said to have received
overtures from the managers of the two winter theatres,
and it is not improbable that he will close with one of them
—having, it is said, a play all but completed.
Messrs. Penley and Anderson intend to •Ven the Chel-
tenham Theatre in November, and try the experime7:!' of a
winter season, the theatrical season heretofore having been
confined to the summer. There is much fashionable com-
pany at present in Cheltenham.
WEBER'S SISTER.—It is stated in the French papers
that a sister of Weber is now living in great poverty in Ger-
many upon public charity. She is said to be a woman of
cultivated mind and handsome person, somewhat advanced
in years.
We are informed by a correspondent, resident at Pim-
lico, that the " speech-criers" in that neighbourhaod were
busily engaged on the morning of Friday last in calling a
" full, true, and particular account of the shocking murder
of Madame V—," which bad been committed on the
previous evening at twelve o'clock ! This is a nuisance to
which the police ought certainly to put a stop, as in many
cases falsehood may be attended with serious consequences.
—Observer.

Mr. Macarthy, considered the most popular performer
on the Irish stage, makes his appearance this evening as
Doctor O'Toole at Drury-lane.
