E at KIL-Mita
We copy the following from the Ayr Observer., a
Tory paper, which by some strange infatuation makes
Mr. Bouverie Member for the Ayr District of
Burghs :
Our representative, accompanied by his lady, ar-
rived at Cunninghamehead on Monday, where he is
on a visit to Mr. Pattison, of Glasgow. There was
some intention, we believe, of the Hon. Member wait-
ing personally on each of the constituency, before
calling a public meeting ; but it appears that, before
fully accomplishing his object in this respect, a public
meeting was resolved upon, which was called last
night by tuck of drum, to )e held at the Town-hall
to-day, at twelve o'clock.
At the hour of meeting but a very few appeared.
and when the proceedings commenced there were only
119 present, including the Member himself, among
whom were a few Conservatives and several non-elec-
tors. The meeting was certainly the smallest ever
assembled in the same hall to hear a representative
deliver his opinions to the constituency. On the mo-
tion of Bailie Wilson, the Provost was called to the
chair.

The PROVOST observed, that Mr. Bouverie bad
come among them to give an account of his doings in
Parliament; and in doing so, he hoped the Hon.
Gentleman would receive a patient hearing, and that
no factious questions would be put to him on either
side, and no ill-feeling displayed on the occasion.
Mr. BOUVERIE was received with some demon-
strations of applause. - He said during the short time
he had been away, he had set himself to do his duty
honestly and fearlessly, and to carry out the leading
principles lie professed when he came amongst them,
and, so far as lay in his power, to assert those great
principles which he considered tended to the prosperity
of the country. He referred to the composition of the
present House of Commons as a reason for net having
been able to do much good, a large portion of
which was of a different way of thinking from him
and those with whom he generally aeted ; but hoped
he and his friends, although they had not been able to
obtain much good, by modifyirg certain measures,
had secured some benefit, and relieved, in some de-
_ _

tree, the evils that afflicted the nation, and the wants
which a large portion of the people felt. In regard
to those moral and physical evils that afflicted so large
a portion of humanity, he was sorry that the conduct
of Parliament was not such as every one could wish.
To those measures that encumbered and fettered trade,
and affected the physical comforts of the people, little
had, indeed, been done, except in one or two changes—
changes happily in the right direction—the conduct of
the House of Commons had not been what he would
have wished to see in relation to the benefit of the
country. In one particular, in which the Ministry, he
thought, had been going in the right direction, he had
given them his support—upon one of the divisions on
the sugar duties. He would explain how that he had
assisted, on that occasion, in maintaining the Minis-
try in office at a time when, to their discredit, they
were obliged to a section of their ultra opponents
for keeping them in power ; but this was a course
which he would still follow though it were to occur
again—following out his principle of acting with-
out reference to mere party politics.—(Cheers.) Mr.
Bouverie went on to explain the differential duties,
and how they operated on the profits of the sugar
growers, both foreign and colonial, and what led
the Government to propose a modification in the face
of the opposition of the West India interest. When
Mr. Ewart proposed the duty should be equalised,
he supported him, but this proposition was out-
voted, and the Ministry gained. Then there was
the other proposition to lower the colonial duty
from 245. to 205., which, as being a lowering Of
duty, had attracted great support, thinking that this
would also lower the price, but it would really only
have put 14s. instead of 10s. into the pockets of the
planters, and the revenue would have suffered the
loss of 800,0001. So, although he thought the Go-
vernment proposition of maintaining the colonial
duty at its original standard not giving full justice,
yet it was a shade better than that of benefiting the
planters. Although he had, on this occasion, voted
with Sir Robert Peel, yet he had shown no gratitude
to him (Mr. Bouvrie) by proposing any place or pen-
sion ; but he would follow the same course again, and
with the same hope that it would meet their
approbation.—(Cheers.) On the corn-laws, he
could give them no hopes, from the composi-
tion of the present House, that an immediate repeal
would be carried, but pointed to the circumstance,
that the majority for maintaining them on the statute-
book this year was 100 less than two years ago, which
had been caused partly by the operation of public
opinion, and partly by constituencies brought to bear
on their representatives. By such efforts continued,
he hoped they might be favoured with ultimate suc-
cess. He hoped that next session a liberal band of
Members would assemble, not to fight for considera-
tions of party, but for the good of the people, as it
would always be his endeavour to do for the interests of
the people he represented. He hoped that next ses-
sion success would attend the General Education Bill.
But these things were not got in a day, and they
ought to have faith, and hope to see those principles it
embraced carried into effect. In conclusion, he of-
fered to answer any questions ; and he hoped the
friends that had put faith in him had seen no reason
from the past to distrust him for the future.
Mr. Wm. WiLsoN moved a vote or tritankb w Idr. -
Bouverie for his attention to his duties, which was
seconded and agreed to.
Mr. BouvEnin returned thanks.
Mr. D. R. ANDREWS moved a vote of thanks to the
Provost, which was likewise agreed to.
The meeting then broke up about one o'clock.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.

The new Roman Catholic Church of St. Marv, in
Clayton-street, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, was opened
on Wednesday, with great ceremony and magni-
ficence. In the morning, at eleven o'clock, were
assembled seventy priests, with nine bishops, in-
cluding the Revs. Dr. Riddell, of Newcastle, and
Dr. Briggs, of York. Dr. Riddell celebrated pon-
tifical high mass at the altar, and the Right Rev,
Dr. Gillis, bishop, of the Edinburgh district, de-
livered the sermon. Beethoven's Mass in C was
effectually sung by the choir, including Mrs. Ley-
bourn and Miss Hodgson ; and Mr. Redshaw pre-
sided at the organ, a powerful and fine-toned in-
strument from the manufactory of Mr. Nicholson.
In the afternoon a large body of Catholic clergy
and laity partook of luncheon at the Assembly
Rooms. Dr. Riddell presided, with the Right Rev.
Dr. Brown, of the Lancashire district, as vice-chair-
man. Vespers were chanted in the evening, and
a sermon was preached by the Right Rev. Dr.
Morris. Dr. Newsham, President of Ushaw College,
presided at the organ. The congregations both in
the morning and evening were numerous and most
respectable, including several families of distinction.
from the neighbouring counties, some local magis-
trates and members of the corporation. The amount
of the collections was 1501. This new ecclasiastical
structure is of stone, and presents a close analogy
to the pure decorative style. The interior is corre-
spondingly elegant. The first objects which will be
noticed are the superb stained windows, the pro-
duction of Mr. Wailes, of Newcastle. The largest
and most striking of these is the gift of G. T. Dunn
and Thomas Dunn, Esqrs., and Mrs. Margaret and
Miss Elizabeth Dunn. The Right Rev. Dr. Riddell
gave another—Geo. Caley, Esq., of Saltwell House,
a third--others are memorials of the Rev. Worswick
and Eyre, deceased—Mr. Wailes contributed a sixth
—and Miss Helen Culey a small one, which is placed
in the south side chapel. They are illustrative of
various scenes and sacred persons connected with
scripture history. The altar is of stone brought
from Caen in France, and is divided into three
compartments, in which are severally represented
the annunciation, the coronation, and the adoration
of the wise men. The back of the altar is similarly
divided, with over-swelling canopies, and exhibits
the resurrection, the crucifixion, and the descent of
the Holy Ghost ; and on either side of the altar are
larger figures of St. Paul and St. Peter. The pulpit
and font are both of Caen stone, and exhibit some
fine and tasteful ornament. The corbels are busts of
angels, each playing a different musical instrument,
and give to the upper part of the building a very
pleasing effect. The side chapels and chancel are
laid with tesselated tiles. Two other altars are in-
tended
which
tended to be erected, besides the plan includes
a screen, and various other things
yet to be com-
pleted. Mr. Pugin has been the architect.—Tyne
Mercury.

OPERA INTRIGTJES.—We have nothing to do with

least endeavour to throw in his way obstructions, that
his talents may not be brought forward to the manifest
disadvantage of another, we can no longer withhold our
pen. If we we informed aright, as we have little doubt
we have, Grisi, after the last representation of Lucrezia.
' Borgia, refused to sing, at her Majesty's Theatre with
Moriani, and stipulated in he engagement at Paris next
season, or attempted to enforce, that this artiste
should not appear at the Theatre Italian. It needs
no ghost to come from the grave to resolve us this riddle.
Grisi would have Mario the Re tenore at the Opera ; but
the public will not allow the slightest comparison be-
tween him and Moriani, and naturally insists that the,
managers will engage a great singer to supersede a
moderate one. Hereupon Grisi takes fire, and will not
have her idol pulled from his pedestal. But the canta•
trice diva may proceed too far, relying on the general
favour. The public is every whit as fickle an animal as
woman herself, and, if once a favourite displeases it, it is
not easy to win back its lost affection. Let Grisi re-
member there is such an artiste singing in Italy as Mali-
bran's sister, who, we have very little doubt, could at least
supply her place in the
.Opera-houses both of London.
and Paris. 'We have a high respect for Grisi as an:
artiste, but the moment she allows her individual splenetic
feelings to mingle with her conduct as a public servant,
we lose all regard for her in that eapacity.—Maestro.
