ittSCELZANEOI:7I3. _
At a meeting of the Protestant Operative Association, held
at Dublin on Thursday evening, the following resolution was
adopted on the motion of the Rev. Tresham Gregg :—" That
the universal outcry' now made for the overthrow of the
Irish Church, together with the melancholy accounts from
England, are all attributable to the Duke of Wellington and
Sir IL Peel, who, when in 1829 they broke in upon the Con-
stitution of 1688, promised peace and security to the Church,
as they still do, while in fact, assault, apprehension, and
danger, are the result."

M. Wm. Smititi6;Brien is to be the chairman of the

his arrival from Cork. Wednesday, the 10th of April, has
been named. The arrangements, it is understood, will in-
clude Liberals of all shades.

It is calculated, says the Court Journal, that by the new
arrangements that are taking place in the Queen's household,

cently disgraced the county. The motion was lost by two,

HAI.IIBURGH PAPERS.
ST. PETF:RSBURGII, MARCH 12.—The Bulletin of the
Laws published to day, contains the convention con-
cluded last year between their Majesties the Emperor of
Russia and the King of Prussia, for a regular convey-
ance of the mails between St Petersburgh and Cron-
stadt on the one part, and Stettin and Schwinemunde
on the other. Each Government will employ a steamer
of 250 horse power ; the two steamers are to be built
in the most eminent establishment in England, and with
all possible perfection. This convention will not be car-
ried into effect till the sprinc, of the year 1847.
FROM THE LOWER DANUBE, MARCH 6. -- The
accounts received from Southern Russia respect-
ing the state, of things in the Caucasus are not favour-
able to the Vussians. A great number of soldiers (espe-
cially Poles) of the regiments already arrived had de-
serted to the mountains. The aversion of the Polish
soldiers to the. Russian service is so great, that they
rather submit to the hardest service and the greatest
privation among the mountaineers (where no enviable
fate awaits them), than follow the Russian standard.
Many of them take the opportunity to escape into the
interior of the country beyond the mountains, whence
they either return to Europe, or engage in the service of
some Asiatic power.—Manheiin Journal.
BERLIN, MARCH 20.—His Imperial Highness the
Grand Duke Alexandria has arrived from Russia.
