of the . ecretary for Ireland, Irish Members of
at will have the Government of Ireland always
spot, without dropping in at the Irish-office, or

Viceroyalty
is expected to take place before the opening
of next session. Such at least is understood to be the
proposed changes. An occasional visit of the Queen is
part of the plan.—Dublin Paper.

by the Lewes magistrates for the apprehension of seve-

A FRAUDULENT PREACHER.--TheKendal Mercury
tells a story of a preacher who made a great sensation the
other day in one of the " secluded dales " in that neigh-
bourhood. After he had astonished the entire neigh-
bourhood with his eLquence, it was whispered abroad
that the admired preacher was not in holy orders, and
had unlawfully desecrated the place of worship. The
rural dean has referred the case to the high dignitaries
of the church, and the result in that the parties &recited
to appear before the Ecclesiastical Court.
TIMBER FOR TEE ROYAL DOCKYARDS. A return
having been required from the principal officers of the
Customs Depat tment at the ports where there are royal
dockyards, of discrepancies which have been ascer-
tained to exist between the admeasurentent of timber
(free of duty) landed for the service of the royal dock-
yards, on the part of the Customs' officers at them--
places and the certificates of the dockyard officers, it has
been arranged that by the addition of a per oentage to
the total quantities returned in the certificates furnished
by the dockyard officers of the measurement of timber,
free of duty, imported from the coast cf Africa, the
accounts will in the average be sufficiently accurate for
the returns for statistical purposes. With respect to
mahogany and timber, free of duty, imported from other
places, it is not considered expedient that any addition
to the dockyard measurements will be requisite, pro-
vided the officers cf the revenue in the returns which
they furnish give the aggregate of the admeasurement
taken by them previously to any abatements being made.
CLEANING RICE IN BOND.—It having been re-
commended to the revenue authorities that the reweigh-
ing account of rice cleaned under bond may be taken by
weighing one-twentieth part only of each entry, in those
cases in which the packages are of the same description,
and that the remainder of the packages be delivered by
tally, and the total weight of the rice computed accord-
ing t i the account taken of the packages weighed; the
P •
reees'tion his been approved, and th several officers,
of the department directed to gevern themselves accord-
ineey in future.
Da. LAYARD'S RESEARCHEs. —D Y. Layard 112.3
effected an entrance into a rcorn in the old Nimroud
peace, containing an extraordinary assortment of relics
—shield!, swords, paterm, bowls, crowns, cauldrons, or-
naments in ivory and mother-of-pearl, &o. The vessels
are formed of a kind of copper, or rather bronze—some
perfectly preserved, and as bright as gold when the rust
is removed. The engravings and embossing on them
are very brautiful and elaborate ; and comprise the same
mythic subjects which are found on the robes of the
figure's in the sculpture—men struggling with lions,
warriors in chariots, and hunting scenes. Now a serious
question occurs to us ; are these precious relics, when
thee they urtive at Buirah, to be intrusted to any ig-
norant and careless chip captain who may be ready to
convey them to England? We have not forgotten the
fete of the last eaogo of curious ivories, glass, &c.,
which suffered such e anton outrage on the voyage and
at Bombay. If the Government really feel an interest
in Dr. Ls) aril's proceedings, a vessel should be sent
from Bombay expressly to receive his consignments;
but we fancy there is little chance of any such step
being taken. At Koyunjik, Dr. Layard has uncovered
a very interesting series of slabs, showing the process of
building the mounds and palaces.—Athenteum.
STATE OF, TRADE.—MANCIIESTER, TUESDAY.—
We have had a dull and irregular market to-day, for
both cloth and yarn. There is no doubt buyers have
large orders in hand, from the inquiries made; but as
confidence in the price of cotton being maintained is
quite for the present overturned, they withhold the exe-
cution of their orders, excepting at rates much lower
than the nominal quotations cf the day. Meanwhile the
closing of mills and working of short time progresses.
To this pass the trade of the country has been brought
by the fictitious advance of the raw material. Indeed, as
has been frequently remarked, it is impossible the recent
production can be resumed, excepting at greatly reduced
rates for the raw material; and let the crop of cotton
turn out as small as the smallest estimate, production
must be proportionately reduced, and no advances could
be establi,led. There are, however, symptoms of weak-
neenin Liverpool, arising not altogether from the small-
ness of the operations of the trade, but from the diffi-
culties which in some quarters have arisen, and are
arising, in devising the " ways and means," and obtain-
ing the renewal of acceptances. A large failure, or
failures, are reported to-day at Liverpool, which must
further derange financial operations there. There is no
change in low printing cloths, which continue in fair de-
mand. Ti.e finer sorts are more difficult to sell. A
considerable business has been done in 40-inch shirting
at last week's prices; 45 and 50 shirtings are still asked
fete Long cloths and domestics are very little inquired
for, and the orders appear on a small scale.
CHEESMONGERS' BENEVOLENT lIttISTITUTION.--
Last evening the 14th annual general meeting and elec-
tion of the governors, donors, and subscribers of this
institution, was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-

tution in 1335, relief bad been granted to 63 pensioners,

females receiving 151. 34 had died, leaving, with the
two to be elected at the me2ting, 12 males and 19 fe-
nia!es on the funds of the instituien, the amount dis-
tributed annually in pensions being nearly VOL per

The report having been adopted, the chairman then an-
nounced the successful candidates to be John Cooper,
776 votes, and Gilbert Witt, 491 votes. Mr. Corduroy
recommended that at the next general meeting, the
question being considered whether it was not advisable
to alter the name of the institution to the Provision
Merchants' and Dealers' Benevolent Institution, ty
which they would get a larger number of subscribers.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman and

Industry cf all Nations was held yesterday in the
Council chamber, Oxford, and was presided over by the

thee recognising the benefits expected to result from the
exlubitice, was moved and seconded by the Master of
Pembroke College end Mr. Alderman Browning, and
tarried unanimously. The Prieeit-al of Brazencee
College then moved, and Mr. Alderman horp seconded,
the next resolution:—" That it was expedient the re qui•
site funds should be subscribed by the voluntary libe-
rality of all classes, and not from the public revenue;"
which was also carried. The Principal of Albsn Hall
moved, and Mr. Councillor Ward seconded, a resolution
for the opening a subscription and the formation of a
committee, including the Bishop cf Oxford, Lord
Camoye, the Vice-Chancellor, the Mayor, &c., which
was carried. After which votes of thanks were ranee
to Mr. Dixon and the chairmen, for which acknowledg-
ments having been made, the meeting broke up.
POOR RELIEF (CITIES AND Towss).—A Bill has
been presented to Parliament, and is now printed, en-
title " A Bill to provide for the more equitable distri-
bution of the charge for the relief of the poor in certain
cities and towns. It proposes that in any union corn-
P• 0
risit e a city or town of more than one parisb, having a
; 0,
population of -90 , 0, the several parisht s forming such
union may, by an order of the Poor law Board granted
upon the requisition of a majority cf tl e guardians, be-
come combined for the purposes of the relief of the poor,
and form effectively only one parish with one common
fund. The guardians of such unions would he empow•
creel to cause burst-3 s to be made in order to ascertain
the value of all too able lands, &c , within the union, and
from time to time to make a lair assessment. The rate*
%mild b I recovered as usual, but their allowance by a
justice of the peace would be dispensed with. All war-
rants of removal and all appeals would be directed to the
guardians of the union instead of to the overseers. The
proposed measure would have no retrospective action,
or ieterfere with proceedings pending at the tima'of its
passing.
IMPORTATION OF CtPPFR.—A vessel, arrived from
Cogeimbo end Valpereiso has brought from tie former

tropolis.
