houses filled to the utmost, but the aisles and passages of
many of many of them were literally walled with human
figures, whilst many, who could gain no admittance, re-
mained at the doors. It would be out of the province of
a daily journal to give even an outline of the various dis-
courses. From minute inquiry we learn that most of the
Clergy of the Established Church carefully abstained from
all allusions which might give to their discourses a political
character, or a personal application. In the course of the
day appropriate addresses were delivered to the children
belonging to the various Sunday Schools by the superinten-
dents and other competent pertsons connected with them ;
after which various tercentenary tracts, consisting princi
pally of Biblical anecdotes, and the writings of Miles Cover-
dale; were presented to each child, to be preserved as a
memorial of this important celebration.
DINNER TO MR. SHEIL AT THORLES.—TtIeS-
day evening last about one hundred and thirty gentlemen
sat down to the entertainment given by 'the men of Tippe-
rary, in honour of their distinguished Representative. Upon
the health of Richard Lalor Sheil being drunk, with nine
times nine, amidst tremendous cheering, he rose and ad-
dressed the assembly with that natural and burning do-
quence which is characteristic of the patriot. He concluded
amid loud cheering.

INAUGURATION OF THE LORD MAYOR OF
DUBLIN.—The Lord Mayor's dinner, on Wednesday, was
attended by a very numerous and respectable company.
Among them were—the Duke of Leinster, Prince Jamh-
od-Deen, Lords Milltown, Dunsany, Thynne, Baron de
Roebeck, the Archbishop of Dublin, Right Hon. F. Shaw,
M.P., Colonel Perceval, M.P., Emerson Tennant, M.P.,
Fitzstephen French, M.P., Hon. Radall Plunkett, M.P.,
&c. Tories and Whigs were mingled together at this so-
cial meeting, and the utmost harmony prevailed.
ADDRESS TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL.—Lord
John Russell having arrived at Endsleigh in this ,neigh-
bourhood, a meeting of the Reform Committee took place
at Freemasons' Hall on Saturday last, to' consider the best
method of testifying the high respect entertained towards
him for his personal exertions, and showing the approbation
felt towards the Government, of which the Noble Lord
was so distinguished a member.—Plymortth Gazette.
THE DERBY FAMILY.—The mansion in Church-
street, Preston, which was wont to be the occasional resi-
dence of the Derby family when visiting that town, will
shortly be rased to the ground, workmen having been for
some time engaged in taking it down. The more valuable
specimens of carved work, both in wood and stone, have
been removed to Knowsley: -

LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The
annual meeting of this Society was held on Thursday last.
We are glad to hear that not only has there been a consi-
derable accession of members during the year, but that the
benefits derived from the exertions of the Society have been
manifested in the adoption of improved methods of cultiva-
tion, draining, feeding, planting, breeding, and other opera-
tions- connected with agriculture, and in the spirit of emu-
lation which has been excited amongst the farmers in this
extensive and important district.—Liverpool Chronicle.
A Practical Reform has been effected, without le-
gislative enactment., in the mode of appointing the munici-
pal officers for Salford. It was considered a rather extra-
ordinary thing, that whilst the King, who is Lord of the
Manor, acted' by the advice of a Libral Ministry, his De-
puty, the Earl of Sefton, himself a Liberal; should permit
the Steward of the Court Leel, or his clerk, to nominate
the jury in whom is vested the election of constables for
the borough, and thus perpetuate the appointment of offi-
cers, embued with all the bigotry and prejudice of Church-
of-Englandism and Toryism. It was accordingly resolved-
that a representation should be made to Lord Sefton as to
the mode in which his delegated powers were exercised, and
the result has been an arrangement that hereafter the
names of the twenty-three jurymen should be drawn, by lot,
from a list of 500 respectable rate-payers in Salford and
Pendleton. Such has been the reform effected in Salford
without an Act of Parliament. A similar reform is wanted
far Manchester.--Manchester Times.

THE REGISTRATION.—The Borongh Lists in
the West of England are nearly completed, but the coun-
ties will not be finished until the end of the month. Im-
mense exertions have been made by both Liberals and
Conservatives. The result hitherto is decidedly in favour
of the Liberals, who have gained ground in all the boroughs,
without, we believe, a single exception. At least we have
not yet found an exception among the returns we have seen
in the various local papers. The Tories trust chiefly to the
counties, and here the objections and new claimants greatly
exceed in number those of former years. This day the
County Barristers sit at Dartmouth ; on Tuesday at Kings-
bridge ; and, on Thursday, they will commence their labours
at the Guildhall, "Plymouth, to arrange the lists for the
twenty-two parishes composing this district.—Devoitport

REGISTRATION.--It has been a matter of asto-
nishment among all, and complaint amongst several, of our
countrymen, duringthe.progress of the Scottish Registra-
tion Courts, that the utmost dissimilarity of opinion upon
the legal construction of the Reform Act, is becoming, as
time wears on, more prevalent. This has been induced
from the fact, that the Tories began, ere the Reform Bill
Scarcely became the law of the land, to engraft upon the
roll MUSHROOMS in wholesale—that their opponents had re-
course to the legitimate creation of votes, of which they
might not otherwise have dreamt, but that seeing their.
best rights, and dearest privileges, set at nought by the
importation of batches of paupers and non-residents, they
were aroused to the duty of qualifying themselves as true
and bona fide poisessgrs of the franchise, which it was the
object of the Act to confer upon them—and that the con-
flicting nature and multiplicity of claims is thus likely to
create a jarring of opinion upon the Bench, which there
must be some means devised of balancing, in order to avoid
the most inextricable confusion.—KelsoChrcnicie.
MICHAELMA§ DAY.—The good borough of Car-
narvon on this day presented a striking contrast to the
stirring scenes of other times, when it was the annual day of
election of borough officers. Instead of party strife, the din
of wordy warfare, and the noisy demonstrations of triumph
of the victors, all was as still as an ordinary day ; and the
tradesmen pursued " the noiseless tenor of their way," as if
such scenes had never been. Preparations are however
making for the contest at the close of the year, when there
is every likelihood they will be renewed with their accus-
tomed warmth and strenuous rivalry.—Carnarvan Herald.
We are enabled to state, that it is not the intention
of the Government to fill up the sinecure office of Comp-
troller of Cash in the Excise, vacant by the death of
General Walpole.—Observer.

The bounty paid from the State Treasury of New
Hampshire, for the destruction of wild beasts, from June,
1834, to June, 1855, amounted to 6,201 dollars, 16 cents.
Of this amount 2,291 dollars 50 cents. were for foxes, and
for wolves 300 dollars.—Philadelphia Commercial List.

T URIC I HWI T.—Nass-red-dyn, the Turkish )Esop,
wishing to propitiate the conquering Tamerlane, proposed
to carry him some fruit. " Hold," said he, " two heads are
better than one ; I will ask my wife whether I had better
carry quinces or figs." His. wife replied, " Quinces will
please him best, because they are larger and finer." " How-
ever useful the advice of others may be," rejoined Nass-
red-dyn, " it is never welt to follow that of a Woman ; I'
am determined to take figs." When he arrived in the camp
Tamerlane amused himself by throwing the figs at his bald
head. At every blow Nass-red-dyn exclaimed. " God be
praised." Tamerlane inquired what he meant? "I am
thanking God that I did not follow my wife's advice," re-
plied Nass-red-dyn, " for if I had brought quinces instead
of figs I should certainly have a broken head."

On Wednesday week there was a pro re nata.meet-
ing of the Presbytery of Kinghorn, relative to Mr. Jardine,
of Kinghorn' whoSe lady has given birth to a living child
within six calendar months after his marriage. At a. meet-
ing of the Presbytery held three weeks ago Mr. Jardine had
brought the case forward, craving investigation, as reports
injurious to his character were in circulation in the district.
The Presbytery had requested Dr. Thatcher's opinion,
which being favourable to the idea that the child might sur-
vive though born in the sixth month, and nothing being said
further against the character of Mr. Jardine, the Presbytery
agreed, having deliberately considered the evidence before
them, as afforded by the certificates, and letters of Dr.
Thatcher relative to the case of Mr. Jardine, to declare •
that there is no ground to charge. hiM with the criminality
alleged against him. A petition was presented from 30 of
the parishioners, praying for a presbyterial visitation of the
parish; the consideration of which was delayed till the next
ordinary meeting.
WEST INDIES; DEMERARA.—LIVERPOOL, OCT.
O.—By the arrival of the Isabella to-day, advices from De-
merara to the. 20th of August, have been received. The
newspapers are principally occupied with the declaration of
the Central Commissioners of Compensation,particularising
the apportionments to each colony of the Parliamentary '
grant of 20,000,000 sterling.. The sum of 4,297,000/. for
81,915 slaves, liad been awarded to Demerara, averaging
501. 12s. Id. per head. It is stated that the difference be-
tween the value of slaves in Demerara and those in Ber-
bice amounts to about 15 per cent. The award for Ber-
bice will be about 451. 10s. Considerable embarrassment
appears to prevail about the mode of payment, the claims
being only payable in London. This, it is said, 'will be a
source of annoyance to many hundred small slave-holders,
who have no connection in London. The slave-holders in
Demerara have no reason to feel dissatisfied with the award
of the Commissioners, as their slaves have been valued at a
higher rate than in any other. British colony, and, with the
exception of Jamaica, the largest item of the compeniation
will find its way there.
