DuBLIN, JAN. '23.—Lord Stuart de DetieS has addressed
the tollowing letter to the Dubin Evening Post
•' tfield House, Jan. 22, 1844.
" Sir—l-Tarirg observed in your journal of the 20th list..
under the head of Reported ro, eedlicizsi atCharlareent Houk,
a statement of certain obse:vr.tieris attributed tomysell. which,
if left :unnoticed, "might possibly involve some miseppt:ehen-
sloe respecting the sentiments I expressed upon the solve: of
the. Union ; •
"I b.g to state that what fell from me on this particular
point had no reference to the opinions of "any of the previous
speakers ; but I did say that, although opposed to the estab-
lishment of a separate domestic Legislature for Ireland, I
thought there were measures which, if adop'ed, would secure
to Irishmen the entire control of their own internal con-
cern% in the Imperial Legislature, and that I could wish to see
a national party formed with the view of carrying this object
into effect.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your roost obedient
servant, _ " STUART DE DECIES."

The following document has also been OJElisl.od :
" There appearing to be a misapprehension as to w hat passed
at the meetit,g Charlemont House on Thursday, the 18th
inst., with respect to the Roman Catholic Church, the Cum.
nt4tte,., to whom the petition then cgreed upon vras given in
charge, think it right to state that the petition originally
posed, and which was finally adopted, contained no suggestion
whatever for a provision for the Roman Catholic -elergy-; and
that an amendment having been proposed by a Preeratant gen.
tleman, which it was thought might be construed into a recom.
mendation on the subject, it was immediately objected to by
Mr. Blake, Mr. Rediugton, Mr. Wyze, and other Roman Ca.
tholic gentlemen present, as opposed to the feelings of the Ro.
man Catholic body in general, and was, therefore, withdrawn.

TEE -RtstEvs.—We are sorry to perceive by the
Haymarket bills that we are so soon to lose-Professor
Risley and his son. These accomplished artists take
their benefit this evening, on which occasion Master
Henry Risley will make his appearance, in conjunction
with his father and brother. 'the elegance of the uniqUll
performances of Mr. and Master Risley are now well
known and justly appreciated ; and Master Henry
Risley, who is only four years of age, possesses all the
ease, grace, and elegance of his elder brother. 'jig
admirers- of the ballet should not ni;ss this opportunity
of witnessing these performance=, which may, with truth,
be termed " the poetry of motion." The house will, no
doubt, as it has been for the last fortnight, be a bumper.
Mr. Webster's patronage of the Risleys reflects great
credit on his well-known liberality and due appreciation
of genitr. •
- The Right lion. Charles Arbuthnot, who is staying
at Apsley House, is convalescent. Mr. Arbuthnot is
now able to walk from one room to another.
The Hon. John Stuart Wortley, UP., accom-
panied by Lady Georgians and his eldest son, made a
tour of the manufacturing towns of the West Riding,
last week, during his stay in the neighbourhood Of Leeds,
and was the guest of William Beckett, Esq., M.P. at
Kirkstall Grange.
DEATH FROM VOLUNTARY STARVATION.—Consi-

Camden-town, in consequence of a rumour, obtaining
Circulation-that Dr. George. Swiney,, well . known from
his eccentric habits, had expired on that

coffin to be covered with bright yellow cloth, and the
pall and cloaks of the mourners to be of the same inft
terial and colour. Three female children, to be-clad in
white, chosen by his chief executor, are to precede his
coffin, for which service he has left to each of them a
legacy of 201., and also 201. to be expended in providing
their funeral dresses. He has bequeathed 5,0001. to the
trustees of the . British Museum, for the establishment
of a lectureship on geology, and 5,000/ to the Royal
Society of Arts, out of which sum the first freeholder,
whether in England, Ireland, or Scotland, that should
reclaim and bring into cultivation the largest amount of
waste lands, was to receive 100 guineas, to be presented
in a goblet of equal value ; this gift to be renewed every
fire years. Five gentlemen of high attainments in lite-
rature, art, and science, have been appointed by Dr.
Swiney as his executors. They have already had his
will carried into effect, by placing his body in a coffin
covered with bright yellow cloth, and studded with gilt
nails, and there is but little doubt the whole of his ex-
traordinary requests will be rigidly adhered to.
DEATH FROM EXTENSIVE Loss OF .81.00 D.—Ye-
sterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., hell an inquest at the Pitt's
Head, Paddington, St. Marylebone, on the body of Mr.
Thomas Lomas, aged fifty-eight, late landlord of the
house. It appeared from the evidence of two females,
in the service of deceased, that on Monday last he served
in the bar up till nearly five o'clock, when he was sized
with a violent vomiting of blood, and retired to bed.
Being averse to medical advice, no surgeon was sent
for until he bad a second access of vomiting, when, con-
trary to his wish, Mr. Cholm mdeloy, a surgeon of Not-
tingham-place, was called is by deceased's wife. Mr.
Chohnondeley said, that lie visited deceased at eight
o'clock on Monday evening, and found three chamber
utensils each half full of blood, expectorated by deceased:
Another vesseltontained a largo quantity cf. coagulated
blood that had been passed through the rectum. Deceased
complained of pain and depression of the chest, and
witness was of opinion that the stomach was loaded with
blood. Ile prescribed for the deceased and the emission
of blood ceased, and on going away he left orders that
if it returned he should be instantly sent for. Accord-
ingly he was sent for between three and four o'clock
next morning, and found that deceased had emitied as
large a quantity of blood as before. He againt4pre-
scribed for him, and, though pulsation had nearly
ceased, deceased had his mental faculties so little ins-
aired that he was able to direct his wife how he should
best dispose of the business after his death, and to point
out the precise spot in Kensal-green cemetery in which,
he wished to be buried. Deceased had two nearly simi;'
lar attacks in 1842 and 1843, and was cured by the ad-
ministration of diluted sulphuric acid, alum, ,digitates,
and infusion of roses. Deceased attributed these sin-
gular attacks to previous intemperate habits. Ver-
dict—Died of exhaustion, produced by extensive vomit-
ing of blood.

CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—A young
man, representing himself as a commercial traveller,
with dark hair, dark eyes, black whiskers, about five
feet eight inches in height, and smart walk, Called at the
house of Mr. Daniels, respectable licensed victualler,
and landlord of the &own and Masons' Arms public-
house, near her Majesty's Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and
requested to know if he could have a bed-room and board
for a week. From his respectable appearance and repro-
sentations,-and the superior manners he possessed, an
affirmative reply was given, and he was asked into their
private parlour, where he partook of all the good corn-
forts of this life for 'near a week, when he, as usual,
went out for his morning's walk after breakfast yesterday
morning, stating that he should go up to the Royal Ar-
tillery Barracks, and see the band perform their -Military
duties, and should return to partake of dinner. The
gentleman, however, forgot to 'Lb) so, and has not since
been heard of,, but- has left the reckoning unpaid, and no
dofibt made a hasty retreat from the town.
• We would once more emphatically call upon every
Member of the Liberal party to be in his place upon the first
night of the meeting of Parliament. His friends report with
confidence that Sir Robert Peel will " speak out," both upon
the corn-lavrs and upon Ireland. It is not improbable. His
followers seemed determined not to tolerate either silence or
evasion ; and possibly the Minister's deference to his party
may induce him to frame a frank and straightforward speech
for his Sovereign. In this case, the Address will certainly not
pass without an amendment being proposed ; and we trust-the
division will find every Liberal Member talus post.--Chronicle.
BERLIN, JAN. 20.—Her Majesty the Queen has
had some hours quiet sleep during the night, and is to-
day free from fever.
• In the report which appeared in The Sun on Tues-
day, stating that 30 donations had been received on the
previous day at Marlborough-street Police-court—it
should have been " applications fur relief ;" and with
reference to the letters delivered to the Magistrate,
none came by post, nor were supposed by him to contain
any contribution. . .
DROWNING OF A LIGETERMAN IN THE THAMES.
-Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, Mr. Baker held
an inquest at the Ship, High-street, Wapping, on view of
the body of George Ellis, a lighterman. It appeared that .
deceased, on Tuesday morning, about three o'clock, rives.
rowing a barge, laden with loam, the property of ,M-r..;
Braggs, Wapping, from Limehouse-raach to Wapping,
and that the same morning the barge was found without
the deceased, at a short distance front Mr. Bragg's, the
oars being placed loose on the:barge. Deceased was soon--:
after found by Serpent Mostyn, N 4, Thames-police, in
the mud off the lhames Tunnel.pier. There being no T
evidence to show how the deceased. got in the water, the
jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned."
FROST AND Witmasis.—The lad .Mepham, •of
whose return we gave an account above, reports that he
saw Frost the day before he received his pardon. Ho
was at the Cascade station, about 60 miles trom Hobart
Town, in the bush, and acted as school-master, on which
account he was exempt from labour in the forests.
Williams had the misfsrtune to break - his leg by a tree
falling on .him, three days before Mopham left. Jones
wits employed as a constable to watob the working- party
in the bush. He told Mepham on the eve of his doping.'
ture that he would give ten, thousand pounds if he had it
to change places with him.—Mairlsione Journal. •
