There has been, it is said, a very serious misunderstanding
between the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the Lord Chan-
cellor. The cause assigned has reference to a fashionable
party at the residence of the Chancellor. This matter has
been much talked of in town for some days past. The Lord
Chancellor or his family did not attend the late Drawing-
room at the Castle.

It appears from a Glasgow paper, that the total amount of
revenue drawn from the three ports in the Clyde, during the
year just closed, amounts in round numbers to 938,502/. ; and
should trade move on in its present improved course, there is
no doubt that it will soon overtop the magnificent total of
one million sterling per annum. There is a material increase
in the export of manufactured goods from all the ports in the
Clyde, in the quarter just ended, as compared with the cor-
responding quarter which closed on the sth of January, 1843.
On Wednesday, the 23d Annual Court of the Governors of
the Seamen's Hospital Society, for the port of London, on
board the Dreadnought, was held in the offices of the institu-
tion, 74, King William-street; City, John Labouchere, Esq.,
in the chair. From the Report read and and adopted at the
Court, it appeared that there were admitted into the Hospital
from the Ist of February, 1843, to the 31st of January, 1844,.
2,778 patients ; and that relief in medicine and medical stores
had been dispensed to 2,033 out-patients. The amount of
receipts during the same period, from all sources, was 6,6081.
14s. 3d. ; and the expenditure amounted to 7,317/. 10s.,
leavin6 a balance due by the Society of 708/. 15s. 9d.
A dinner in aid of the Female Orphan Asylum took place
on Wednesday evening at the London Tavern, the Duke of
Cambridge in the chair. On the health of the Duke being
proposed by Mr. Kemble, M.P., his Royal Highness alluded
feelingly to the recent death of Prince Albert's father, and
alleged his presence there, notwithstanding the lamented oc-
currence, as a proof of the great interest which he took in the
charity. The Secretary read the first Report, announcing
contributions amounting to 3501., among the most munifi-
cent of which may be mentioned that of the Royal Chairman
of twenty guineas, and that of Messrs. Broadwood, amount-
ing to fifty guineas.
On Wednesday evening the electors of the City of London
resident in the district and ward of Farringdon Within, gave,
at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, a public dinner to
Thomas Baring, Esq., the Conservative candidate at the late
election. George Byrom 'Whittaker, Esq., was in the chair,
surrounded by about one hundred electors, including several
supporters of the Conservative cause voting in that ward.
At a meeting of the Liverpool cotton brokers and Man-
chester cotton spinners, held at Manchester on Tuesday, the
Chairman, Mr. Gardner, alluded to the state of the India
and China trade. In 1842 the export of cotton yarn to those
markets was 22,500,000 of pounds, and in 1843, 23,800,000
pounds ; which was not three millions of pounds more than
the shipments to those markets in 1839. In 1842 there were
145,000,000 yards of calico sent to those markets, and in
1843, 230,000,000.
