IRELAND.

parties put into prison i ending an appeal ; and now
they are liberated, their sentence declared illegal, and
their power of agitation restored. So sharp ani
sudden a blow has staggered the Ministry—they can
never recover from it. Their vicious labours have
been thrown away—their illegality exposed. Ireland
was irritated, organised, and disciplined, by the im-
prionment of her chiefs; and now those chiefs are
rest Ted, without favour or concession, by a legal vic-
tory. If we use our success to strengthen our faith,
to prompt our studies, to stimulate our organisation,
and to confirm our order, this reversed judgment will
overthrow, not a Minister merely, but English rule
in Ireland.—Nation.

on the part of the trades and Repeal Wardens ;
Mr. Spillane, Mr. Cullen, and o hers ; and the
unanimous opinions of all were that from pre-
cedent it would be quite consonant with the views
of the Liberator that no public illumination
should take place. A resolution to that effect was
unanimously adopted, and ordered to be published
and placarded instanter, to acquaint the Repeaters
throughout the city, who had previously resolved to
illuminate. The meeting was then adjourned at
half-past two o'clock.

LIBERATION OF MR. O'CONNELL.
THE ORDER FOR THE REVERSAL OF

The following isthe-copy of the reversal of the
judgment, as lodged by Mr. Gartlin with the sub-

at Westminster, in the county of Middlesex. as-
sembled, come as well the sail Daniel O'Connell,

ADJOURNED MEETING OF THE CITIZENS AT LARGE.
The citizens assembled at the appointed hour at
half-past two o'clock, and unanimously resolved to in-
vite our beloved Liberator, on his liberation, to a grand
provincial public banquet, to be given in Limerick
on whatever day it was his pleasure to name for that
purpose. We understand that the mayor of Cork and
several members of the corporation, as well as other
highly respectable citizens of Cork, have already noti-
fied their intentions of being present at anz provincial
demorptration that might be made in Limerick upon
the liberation of O'Connell. We have .no doubt the
mayors and corporations of Clonmel, Waterford,'and
Kilkenny, will also join in this manifestation of
national feeling.

It would be an idle attempt, we acknowledge it, to
express, adequately, the veneration which we feel for
the three Whig law Lords, who saved England and
the empire from the infamy of confirming the judg-
ment of the Irish judges—who saved the Constitution
from the fatal blow' which a wicked faction endea-
voured to inflict on a subject of this realm—and it is
needless to add, that we are utterly incapable of find-
ing words to express our admiration for the Lord
Chief Justice of England. Whether, in future, con-
spiracies to entrap a political opponent, and to work
injustice, under the forms of law—there will be an
attempt to poison the fountains of justice—to steal
jury lists—to pack juries—and to corrupt them ;
whether, in future, law officers of the Crown will
be found to act, as those unfortunate men bearing
the office have recently done in Dublin—whether
judges will be found to address such juries—if they
could be scraped together now—in the tone of a rabid
advoca'e for conviction, and in the temper of a fierce
fanatic—whether those odious and disgusting exhi-
bitions can hereafter be repeated—we say not. But
this we may affirm, that they will not be repeated
with impunity—this we may assert, that justice will
be done on the juries, the advocates, and on the judge.
While the Lord Chief Justice of England lives—and
long, long may he enjoy:his honours, his dignity, and
his fame ! long may England glory in her first judge,
as Ireland shall long remember him with gratitude
and exultation—as long as Lord Denman lives, no
such gross injustice—no such ignorance—no such
virulence will be allowed to go unstigmatised, un-
punished. But, the example—it will be enduring as
the Constitution.—Dublin Evening Post.
The transports which the glorious announcement
of O'Connell's liberation created in Belfast yesterday
morning were such, we believe, as no other event,
how auspicious soever, could have produced. Those
who first heard the glad tidings, hurried with joyous
looks from house to house, and from friend to friend,
happy and pre ud to communicate them. " Did you
hear the news ?" " I say, O'Connell is out, sure."
"Glorious news this morning," and a hundred such
exclamations were heard on every side. In ten
minutes after the first breath of rumour whispered it
abroad, cur office was literally stuffed full of people,
eager to catch up the slightest word about the all-
absorbing topic. Some enthusiasts proposed a bon-
fire at once in Smithfield, to give the people an op-
portunity of expressing their exultation publicly; hut
this proposal was overruled, to guard against the re-
motest occasion of riot. This was prudent, as a quiet
triumph is better than public rejoicings, which the
malignants may turn into pretexts for disturbing the
peace. The 'Wardens are taking the proper steps.—
.Belfast Vindicator.
Cork, and we believe Ireland, has been taken by
surprise by the arrival of the alt-important and
glorious news of the liberation of the father of his
country. Whilst we write our ears are deafened by
the cheering of the thousands who surround our
office. Gentlemen, known for years for their devo-
tion to Ireland and her cause, are addressing the
people from the windows of the Chamber of Com-
merce. Women lose their shrinking delicacy, and
join the melee. Never were man or people the one so
worthy of the other. The people have just seized our
placard, which announced the reversion of the sen-
tence, and are bearing it on a pole through the
city. In every district its annunciation is hailed
with cheers of delight. The windows of
the houses all through are filled with de-
lighted spectators, who join the enthusiastic multi-
tude below in their loud huzzas. Another crisis for
Ireland has arrived. Had the Queen of England,
with her own right royal hand unbarred his dungeon,
it could not have been received in the same light.
Simple justice and the cause of Ireland are triumphant
in his person. Men of Cork !he is your representa-
tive, as well as the father of your country, be the
first to honour the patriot-martyr and yourselves, and
invite him to Cork. On the eve of his trial and im-
prisonment he sat in your banquet-hall ;on the day
of his triumph let him witness a similar ovation.
Hurrah for the repeal and O'Connell I The Chamber
of Commerce will be illuminated
.this evening ; and
we hope that our fellow-citizens generally will follow
the example.—Cork Examiner.
THE MEN OF TIPPERARY.
The intelligence that the decision of the House
of Lords on the writ of error was in favour of a
reversal of the judgment which had caused the
Liberator and his co-martyrs to be impri-
soned in Richmond Penitentiary, arrived in Ne-
nagh at six o'clock on Friday morning, by the mail
from Dublin, and seldom, ifever,.do we remember to
have witnessed such a motion as that intelligence
created. As if by magic, the streets became
intensely crowded with . people who had heard the
report in various parts of the town, where it
spread like wildfire, and who sped to where they
deemed the truth was to be learned. Various bands
immediately assembled, and marched through the
streets in procession, playing lively airs, and ac-
companied by thousands of persons, whose shouts
rent the air, and tore off branches of trees, which
they waved aloft in their inexpressible and unspeak-
able joy. As the day proceeded the streets became
more crowded—the various flags and colours of the
trades' societies were placed on poles at the Market-
cross—business was entirely neglected—the people
could talk of nothing, think of nothing, but the
glorious victory which the Liberator had obtained
over the enemies of Ireland. The dim eyes of aged men
lit up with pleasure—the young men walked with
a firm step, and their countenances bespoke the gay
delight that animated their hearts—while children,
who could scarcely talk, lisped, " O'Connell is
free !" All were happy. Nothing was to be heard
but the wild shout of delight ; poverty—suffering—
hunger—all were forgotten. The freedom of the
Liberator was the dearest object of their hearts ;
and by their actions they showed how much they
loved—how much they idolised the
" Victor of a hundred fights."
—Tipperary Vindicator.
THE MEN or KILKENNY.
Yesterday, after the account had arrived of the
reversal of the judgment against Mr. O'Connell and
his associate conspirators, joy, mingled with fear and
doubt, were generally expressed, lest,
as the familiar
phrase is, " the news was toe, good to be true. ' All
doubts of the fact, however, having been soon dissipated,
every countenance was lighted up, and gave testimony
to the most powerful emotions. But the feeling mani-
fested was not one of thanksgiving, or of gratitude for
favours conferred, or even contemplated. Oh, no ;
the state prosecutors barred that.
The citizens met at twelve o'c!ock, the mayor in
the chair, and passed resolutions, which were ably in-
troduced by the respective movers and seconders.
It was expected by many that there would be
illuminations, and a wish was strongly expressed
to that effect ; but upon a full explanation, and
remonstrance of Dr. Cane,. who pointed out the
manifest inconveniences and mischiefs that illumina-
tions might produce, with the best feeling possible the
thought was at once abandoned—the "Boys " being
fully content with bonfires, which, while we write,
are blazing in all the open spaces around us, and on
the hills and dales of the county.—Kilkenny Journal.
THE MEN OF THE NORTH.
That this is a triumph, a great and glorious triumph,
there is no doubt. That it has taken Ireland by
surprise we will not deny. Why should we? Ac-
customed as we have been to the grossest and most
shameless tyranny—to the vilest and most illegal op-
pression—borne down by brutal force and humbug
law—by cavalry, artillery, infantry, on the one hand,
and packed juries, lost lists, pistol Attorney-Generals,
and indescribable Chief Justices on the other—we
had totally resigned all hope of even the shadow of
justice falling across our devoted path.
And now that the shadow has fallen—now that
we do indeed at length behold a slender outline of
her form, however distorted—with what indignation
must not our souls be filled—with anger must not
every honest mind, throughout the world, be inflamed
at the consideration that for fourteen weeks !—for a
week more than three months—has our leader
been incarcerated in a common gaol, with felons, for
no crime whatsover—for no offence against morality,
or even law !—for nothing but his daring love of
fatherland, and his open and manly opposition of
foreign tyranny! ! !—Newry Examiner.

The arrival by the mail this morning of the news
of the judgment having been reversed, spread through
the city as if with electric rapidity. Before ten
minutes every man, woman, and child was in
possession of the gratifying intelligence. Crowds
of people continued, during the day, at every
corner of the streets, talking over the subject, and joy
and delight beamed on every countenance. The
Trades' Hall and every temperance room in the city
immediately hung out their beautiful flags, which
continued floating in the breeze the entire day.

At the close of the procession in honour of the
liberation of Mr. O'Connell and his fellow-prisoners,
the Hon. and Learned Gentleman addressed the im-
mense multitude from the balcony of his house in
Merrion-square, in these words :
Fellow Countrymen,—This is a great day for
Ireland—(Tremendous applause)—a day of justice
and retribution ; and you know that all we wanted or
desired was justice.—(Cheers.) We have got one in-
stalment of that justice at any rate. After a foul at-
tempt to convict eight honest men of conspiracy, and
after suffering imprisonment upon an illegal judg-
ment, we are now free ; and Ireland may yet be
what she deserves to be—a nation.—(Loud cheers.)
Do I doubt the people of Ireland that they wish to be
tranquil and peaceable? No. If I did I would be
worse than the basest of mankind ; for have I not
the experience of years past which tells me that
they will obey my commands ?—(Hear, hear.) Have
I not tried the experiment of collecting millions
together, who would lay down their lives for me ;
every one of whom upon all occasions conducted
themselves with as much simplicity and gentleness
as children ?—(llesr, hear.) Yes, from north to south
—from east to west—the congregated millions have
assembled with such order and regularity, that it is
plain to the world that Ireland will be free.—(Ap-
plause.) We have held our monster meetings—all
passed off peaceably—and there is but one remaining
to be held—the meeting of Clontarf—(Hear)---that
meeting which, I am sorry to say, I fear was intended
to be put down by a deluge of blood, because I cannot
let it escape from my mind that there was a scheme
concocted to disperse the people by force. However, I
did not give them an opportunity of carrying out
their intentions, for I issued my counter-proclama-
tion, advising the people not to put themselves in
danger ; and they took my advice, and foiled their
enemies.—(Hear and cheers.) What is the conse-
quence ? Why, since that, you are aware that the
Government has endeavoured to make out that those
meetings were illegal; but I think I have proved
myself to be a better lawyer than the Attorney-
General, for after all their verdicts given by packed
juries, and judgments by corrupt judges, here I am
once more free.—(Cheers.) The Clontarf meeting was
not held, and perhaps it should be held, to carry out our
principle, and to show that we were right.—(Hear.)
I do not say that it should be held. I do not think it
should, but that will be a matter for the future con-
sideration of the committee of the Repeal Association;
and if they think it ahould, we will hold it, and show
the Government that we acted legally, and that it
acted illegally.—(Cheers). I have a secret for you,
my friends, which is, that we will now do every-
thing necessary to obtain a repeal by peaceable and
legal means. They told you that if you took my
advice before, that you would cut your own throats.
Was that the case ? Who was right ? 'Whether
was my law or the Attorney-General's confirmed by
the House of Lords ?—(Great applause). You know
the result, and I need not detain you by repeating it.
They said I had meditated treason, and was guilty of
conspiracy. They lie; and I'll tell you who said
they lied—Lord Denman.—(Loud cheers). Yes, he
told them so to their teeth, and we have obtained a
victory—the first, fair, and full victory over them—
and we will keep it. Won't you stand by me ?
A Voice.—We will, till death.
Mr. O'CONNELL—Yes, you will stand by me peace-
ably and detsrm:nedly, and, in spite of political judges,
succeed in obtaining Irish independence.—(Here
several of the bands struck up lively airs, upon which
he called out, " Stop those rascally bands," and con-
tinued rs fallows :)—I will not now develop all my
plans, for I would not have time at this late hour,
and, had I plenty of time, I would not detain you
under the rain ; however, upon Monday I will be at
my post in the Conciliation Hall, to tell you what I
intend to do, with your sanction ; and in the mean-
time I have only to implore of you to be peaceable,
to have no illumination—not one candle is to be lit.
That is my wish—it is my command.—(Cheers.) At
the termination of the trial I told the people of Ireland
that justice had not been done us. I reiterate that
sentiment, and declare the judgment to have been an
iniquitous one, which I will show you more fully
upon a future occasion, or perhaps on Monday, when
I will. detail my plans at large. Listen to my advice.
No illuminations, and we will meet again, when you
shall know what it is intended to do. I will not de-
tain you longer than to express my gratitude to God
for his providential interposition upon my behalf—
for there were a million to one odds against my ac-
quittal, after the decision of the English judges. Yet,
by His interposition and all-ruling providence we
are free. Hurrah for the repeal !—(Tremendous
applause.)
At the conclusion of the speech Mr. O'Connell re-
tired, and Mr. Steele, O'Connell's head Pacificator,
came forward, and desired the people to go to their
homes. They at once quietly dispersed.
Although the decision of the House of Lords has
been received throughout Ireland with the most en-
thusiastic joy, in no one instance has the public
peace been broken—the law has released the Libera-
tor, and that law has in no single instance been vio-
lated by those who rejoice at his triumph. The fol-
lowing extracts from the Irish papers show the
effect which the first announcement of the " great
fact" of the victory of O'Connell produced in dif-
ferent parts of the country :
Having thus carefully revived the history of this
writ of error, and followed it to its triumphant end—
the liberation of the prisoners—we must look ahead
once more. The political importance of what has
happened is immense. The prosecutions began to
suppress the monster meetings ; every artifice, no
matter how low—every insolence, no matter how
ikree, wm used to get a verdict. It WAti got the

A twelve o'clock a most numerous and highly
respectable meeting of the corporation and the
citizens assembled at the Exchange, the mayor in the
chair, for the purpose of considering whether any,
and what expression, should be given to the public
feeling on so triumphant and gratifying an occasion.
The meeting was addressed by Counsellor Divett,
Rev. Mr. Bruhan, MA Raleigh ; Mr. Ahern,

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
LIGHTS ON THE COAST OF NORWAY.

The following has been received at Lloyd's:—
"hllydrodgraphic•office, Norway, Sept. 3, 1844.
" In pursuance of the intentions expressed in the
notice of this office, dated the 18th June last, the follow-
ing lights were to be established by the Norwegian
Government on the Ist of this month:— _ _

" 1. A fixed light on Great Torunzen Island, :in
lat. 58 deg., 23 min., 15 sec. N., and lon. 8 deg., 52 min.,
30 sec. E.

" 2. A fixed light on Little Torungen Island, bearing
from the light on Great Torungen Island N., 4 deg. E.,
line 1, or by compass N.N.E., distant 1,237 yards.
" Both of the above lights are visible in all directions,
and being 130 feet above the level of the sea, may be
seen at the distance of six to seven leagues.
" 3. A fixed light on Sandoig Point, at the entrance
to Arendahl, forty-two feet above the level of the sea,
visible from three to four leagues on any bearing west-
ward of south and E.N.E. by compass, unless concealed
by adjacent land. The lighthouse stands in 58 deg.,

MOROCCO—BLOCKADE OF MOGADORE, &c.
The following was received at Lloyd's yesterday :
" Gibraltar,
o for the
August 3
" Sir,—l have to announce, finformationllBo4f4ihe
Committee; that her_ Majesty's steamer Vesuvius, which
I stated in my last (of 24th inst.) was daily expected from
Mogadore, arrived here on the following day, bringing
our Consul, Mr. Willshire, his family, and most of
the English residents at Mogadore.
" It appears, from the intelligence she brought, that
the French squadron had silenced the batteries at Mop-
dore on the afternoon of the 15th instant, and no fire
was returned by the Moors on tke 16th ; the said fleet
poured in shot and shell during the whole of that day
to complete the destruction of that city. In the after-
noon the wild Arabs entered it and committed acts of
atrocity and plunder, by which the European and
Jewishinhabitants; were the principal sufferers.
" Mr. Willshire and family, in the dead of the night
of the 16th, succeeded in getting to the water-port, from
which spot one of his clerks plied off on a raft he had
constructed, to communicate with the French brig
Cassaid ; from her he obtained a boat to remove the
Consul and his family
" On the evening of the 15th, after a heavy can-
nonade (alluded to in the P.S. of my dispatch of the
18th). the island opposite Mogadore was carried by
a,sault. The Moors, having no means of escape, kept
up a deadly fire of musketry on the storming party,
which it is said killed and wounded a considerable num-
ber of the French troops, including some officers.
" Mogadore has been declared in a state of blockade,
and in the waters of the island (now occupied by a strong
French garrison) will be stationed a naval division, to
enforce the interdiction. They are fortifying this island,
and public attention is much directed to their possession
of so important a point, as it commands both the town
and the harbour of Mogadore, which is the principal
commercial seaport of Morocco.
_

" On the 28th instant a French force, consisting of
a line•of-battle ship, frigate, store-ship, and steamer, I
passed the Straits from east to west, and were seen after-
wards
steering down the western coast of Barbary-sup-
posed
for the purpose of reinforcing the island, and pro-
bably to keep possession also of Mogadore. Her Ma-
jesty's ships Formidable and Scout immediately put to
sea in the same direction. The Admiral, Sir Edward
Owen, shifted his flag to 11. M. steamer Vesuvius, in the •
Mole, where she is undergoing some repairs.
"The Greenland, one of the largest of the French war-
steamers, was totally lost on the west coast of Morocco,
on some rocks about three leagues from Larache, on the
26th inst. The Moors immediately commenced an
attack upon the vessel, which had lasted full four hours,
when fortunately the steamer Vidette arrived to her
assistance, succeeded in dispersing the Moorish soldier.,
and received on board the crew and such things as could
be saved from the wreck. In the afteinoon the Prince
de Joinville, in the Pluton, also arrived on that part of
the coast, and finding it impossible to float the Groen-
land, caused her to be destroyed by fire. It is supposed
that his Royal Highness was steering for Cadiz, to meet
the Due de Glueksberg, who is on some special mission
from the French Government, the nature of which has
not transpired.
Two days ago his Excellency H. L. Bulwer, Esq.
(British Minister to the Spanish Court), returned from
his second visit to Tangiers in the Hecla steamer, on his
return to the capital, via Cadiz and Seville.
"It appears, by a semi-official communication, that
his Excellency's exertions, combined with those of Mr.
Hay, our able and indefatigable Consul-General and
Charge d'Affaires at Tangiers, that a complete recon-
ciliation has been effected- between the Sovereigns of
Spain and Morocco, so that the Spanish Consul at Tan-
giers' will return thither to resume his functions in the
course of a fortnight ; and I trust that the ratification of
so desirable a settlement of the Spanish question will not
be frustrated at Madrid by the undue influence of any
foreign Power.
"An order has been recently received from Madrid
by the. Captain-General at Cadiz, for the frigate
Christina, and corvette Venus, to return to Tangier Bay,
by which it is inferred that the happy result of the
negotiations adverted to could not of course have been
known in that capital when that order was issued.
" Rumours are afloat that the French contemplate a
second attack on Tangiers, and, if so, probably its occu-
pation, but I cannot trace the report to any credible
source. They frequently call at Tarifa, but for what
object is not known.

The Sun of Wednesday evening, in a late edition,
brings the gratifying news that the House of Lords
have, by a majority, reversed the judgment in the case
of O'Connell and his fellow-prisoners. Great must be
the joy among the Liberals in Ireland at this somewhat
unexpected et-Olt, and a corresponding degree of de-
spondency must have seized the virulent Orange faction.
—Aberdeen Herald.
The Sun, in a late edition, has a report of the pro-
ceedings that took place on Wednesday in the House of
Lords, occupying nearly eleven columns. The transfer
to our columns of such a mass of matter, at so late an
hour, of course is quite out of the question ; and, inte-
resting as it doubtless is in its integrity, we can do
no more than adopt the condensed account of our other
evening Contemporaries, curtailing even that consider-
ably, but, at the same time, giving quite enough to indi-
cate every point that is important to the general reader.

O'CONNELL'S LIBERATION.— The Sun evening paper
'of Wednesday contains the important intelligence, that
in the House of Lords the judgment of the Court of
Queen's Bench in Ireland hAd been reversed, Lords
Denman, Cottenham, and Campbell, voting for re-.
versing the judgment, and the Lord Chancellor and-
Lord Brougham for affirming it. Several lay Lords
expressed their wish to vote.—Dundee Advertiser (second-
edition).
INlonocco.—Accounts received, via Gibraltar, state
that another battle had taken place between the
French and the Moors, in which the former, falling
into an ambush, were defeated by Abd-el-Kader
with much 16ss.
We have to express our sincere thanks to the pro-
prietor of the London Sun, for transmitting to •us a
copious report of the judgment ; and also to the pp-
prietor of the Dublin Monitor for a bulletin cntain
itng
a brief summary of the same.— Londonderry Seo

REVERSAL OF TILE JUDGMENT OF THE QUEEN'S
BENCH.—The London Sun, of Wednesday evening, for
which we beg to tender our acknowledgments and best
thanks, brings us the early intelligence of the result of
the writ of error, in the House of Lords, on Wednesdly
last ;'that result will be found in our columns.—.Nepagh

HINTS for the ENGLISH in PARIS.

Truly at this moment is London out of town. Nay,
not only out of ton n, but out of the realm. Any one
who has counted the myriads that for the last month

have vs-, Oily bade their native land " good night"—any
one who still numbers the tens of thousands that c
tinne weekly to wing their way to continental shores,
will have little difficulty in guessing where London is
now actually to be found. Despite the threatening
murmurs from Otaheite—despite the portentous booming
of the Prince de Joinville's cannon at Tangiers and Mo-
gadore, London rushes onwards to Paris, and Paris, de-
serted by its recreant Parisians, may almost be said to be
in the possession of adventurous tour-enamoured Lon-
doners. To carry away the spoils of the French capital ere
the blast of war be sounded—to secure some of its rich
and unequalled produce in this perhaps their last trip—is
the natural desire of our travelling compatriots. A
few hints touching the selection of their purchases
may not be unacceptable at this critical moment.
The Palais Royal, as a general depjit of all that is taste-
ful and graceful, need only to be mentioned. But they
who depart from it without visiting the magazine of La-
hoche Boin d6l' esealier de Cristal, have seen but the
half of its attractions and wonders. This is the house.
s bleb, at the last Exposition Nationale, displayed such
exquisite designs in porcelain and crystals as elicited
unbounded admiration, and from which Mr. Wilson, the
agent of our Government, made such large purchases.
For those who have not inspected the stock of' this ma-
nufactory, to form an idea of the novel shapes and bril-
liant colours imparted to porcelain and crystal by recent
improvements in the art would be impossible. The
chaste-and striking forms of antiquity are reproduced
with increased beauty, anti ,the elegant designs of mo-
dern taste are wrought in st-Ityle and with an edit
hitherto unimagined. To the simple lovers of vertu a
visit to the magazine would be a treat indeed, for here
the rarest specimens of old Sevres, and, in fact, objects
of curiosity of all descriptions, and of the greatest
value, are to be found. Ancient and modern art, side
by side, delight the eye, and offer to the connoisseur
the widest scope for the exercise of his judgment and
his choice. Should our sight-seeing countrymen be pass-
ing along the Boulevard des Italins, let them not fail
to enter the handsome furniture manufactory of M.
Osmont, Here they will see the: effect of this gentle-
man's imitation of Chinese laquer (La Lague de Chine),
as used in the varnishing and decoration of general fur-
niture. Nothing can be conceived more truly splendid
than a drawing-room suite lacquered with this composi-
tion, which is infinitely superior to that used by the
Chinese, and the invention of which was very de-
servedly rewarded by the silver medal at the last
Exposition. Hitherto we were forced to be content
with shawl-boxes, screens, tea-caddies, and such like

little articles in this lacquer, which the " Celestials" were
pleas:d to send us ; now, however, thanks to M. Osinont's
invention, we may have our drawing-rooms and our bou-
doirs entirely furnished in this rich' and beautiful style.
Mention of the drawing-room and the boudoir reminds
us of la tielle tuillette; and to our fair countrywomen
sojourning in the French capital we say—" As you value
your reputation for elegance, neglect not to consult les
Dames Herbau:t Nieces, of the Rue Melard." Besides

the certainty of seeing in the maison des modes of
these ladies such a daily variety of costume and fashion
as absolutely amazes the spectator by its pro-
fusion and good taste, one has the great advan-
tage of being certain to meet there the elite of Parisian
society, and the cream of distinguished foreigners. In
such a circle of stylishness and bon ton, and in the
hands of such artistes as les Dames Ilerbault Flees, it
is impossible not to become " the glass of fashion and
the mould of form." English beauty adorned by
French art is truly the perfection of loveliness. As we
are on the subject of female costume, we may as well
give a hint regarding that most important portion of it,
the bonnet. The chapeau de piffle still continues the
rage, and a visit to the magazine of M. Fleschelle, of the
Rue Richelieu, is indispensable to ladies desirous of
being regarded as models of fashion. The variety of
chapeaux de paille is so great that to particularise them
would be endless. The chapeau de paille fantasie, the
chapeau de paille de tiles et paille de riz brode, the chapeau
brocete guipure et paille, in different colours and designs,
are equally charming and equally commendable for ele-
gance. To each wearer must be left the discretion of
choosing those which best become her comp!exion and
style of beauty.—Post.

THE GAME Liws.—Two of the gamekeepers of
:he Earl of Stradbroke committed suicide on Saturday

and Sunday, within twenty-four hours of each other.
Report attributes the death of both of them " to their
anxiety and dread of meeting their master (who was ex-
Feted at Benham-park on Saturday, on his return from
his Irish estates, but who is not now looked for till this
week), fearing his anger that such extensive depreda-
tions should have been allowed among his preserves as
have lately thinned the number of his pheasants, &c."
There are other reports to a similar effect, showing that
the anxiety of mind which ended in these unfortunate
men destroying themselves was caused by their solici-
tude about the game they had to preserve. It is not
long since another gamekeeper of this same Lord Strad-
broke was murdered by poachers, and, if our memory
serves us aright, several transportations beyond the
seas were the consequence. Look, then, at the loss of
life, the misery, and the expense to the public, that this,
single landlord's game may be preserved. Let it be held
in mind that, during the last ten years, some thirty
gamekeepers have been murdered, and as many poachers
_ _

hanged for the murders—that in one year, namely, 1843,
thirty persons were transported, and 4,500 convicted and
sentenced to fine and imprisonment in England alone,
for infringements of the game laws—that the cost of
prosecuting the " criminals," and in maintaining their
families when thrown upon the parish, amounts annually
to not less than 100,0001. sterling, not to speak of the im-
mense cost of maintaining those who are transported
beyond the seas, nor of the wreck and ruin of virtue and
happiness to tens of thousands, nor of the brutal and re-
vengeful feelings engendered, and the desperate crimi-
nals who are brought into existence and fostered by
these laws ; and who shall say but that they are one of
the greatest curses of our land, and ought, without delay
to be swept from off our statute-book for ever ?—Leeds
Times.

NEWPORT, ISLE OF 'WIGHT SEPT. 7.—Another
land slip of a rather alarming character has occurred at
Atherfield; upwards of an acre of land at the point of
the cliff has moved off into the sea, without giving no-

tice to quit. This part was supposed to be most secure,
being based upon large rocks. The superincumbent
weight, however, has forced these layers of stone, which
it appears reached to no great depth, into grotesque po-
sitions. The inhabitants of a house, which was supposed
to have been erected at a safe distance from all danger,
were not a little surprised one morning at hearing a loud
noise like thunder, which awoke the villagers above, and
on getting up to ascertain the cause, they found their
habitation within one yard of the edge of a tremendous
precipice, the walls of the building giving evident warn-
ing that a further sojourn in it might prove dangerous
to its inmates. It is said that the station-houses appro-
priated to the use of the preventive service are not in the
most safe foundation if another slip should occur.
SERIOUS INDISPOSITION OF MISS PEEL.—We re-
' vet to hear that, owing to the alarming illness of Miss
l'eel, daughter of Sir Robert and Lady Peel, that the
Right Hon. Baronet, who had made every arrangement
to accompany her Majesty and his Royal Highness
Prince Albert to Blair Athol', will not be able to embark
to day for Scotland, as was his intention. On Saturday
morning the most painful adviees were received from the
local medical adviser at Drayton Manor, who, it appears,
deemed it his duty to call in additional medical attend-
ance—Sir Charles Clark and Dr. Hodgson from Bir•
initighain having been requested to give their professional
opinion on the disorder of the youthful invalid. Yes-
terday morning a messenger arrived by the earliest
train from Drayton Manor, and was the bearer of more
aggravated accounts, as to excite the worst apprehen-
sions ; and, in consequence, Sir Robert and Lady Peel
left town by the ten o'clock train, yesterday, for Bir-
mingham, with the intention of proceeding direct to
Drayton Manor with all possible haste.
ATTEMPTED MUlDER.—Yesterday morning (Sun-
day) the inhabitants of York-street, London-road,
Southwark, were thrown into a state of the greatest ex-
citement and alarm, which lasted throughout the whole
day, in consequence of a most inhuman and murderous
attack which was made upon an aged man earned
Richard Barber, residing at No. 8, Lewis's rents, situate
.in the centre of the above street, adjoining St. George's
Market. It appears that the man Barber, with his wife
and son, have been leading a very dissipated life for
some time past, especially the son, who is about seven-
teen years of age, and bears a very bad character in the
neighbourhood. Shortly before eleven o'clock yesterday
morning, whilst they were taking breakfast, a quarrel
took place respecting a book called the" Newgate Calen-
der," which the son (Thomas Barber) was in the habit of
reading. The father said he (the son) should net read
such works, and attempted to take the book from him ;
a scuffle took place, during which the mother seized a
knife and the son a poker, with which the son inflicted a
dreadful wound on the base of his father's skull, at the
same time the mother, who took the son's part, made an
effort to stab the old man in the left side, but was fortu-
nately prevented by the timely arrival of police-constablea
No. 9M, who was passing the end of the court tthe
moment. In a short time Mr. Gellatly, the surgeon of
the London-road, attended to the wound_
of theman
Barber, which was stated to be of a most
dangerous
orwarded to the
de-
scription. Information having b
police-station in Southwark--bridgeeZad, the mother and
son were taken in charge and conveyed to the police-
statin, followed by a vast concourse

Alst. HORACE SMITH'S. NEW HISTORICAL
Ro-
MANCE.—" Arthur Arundel" is the name of the new
historical novel, by the popular author of "Branabletye
House," and the story, is illustrative of that stirring and
highly interesting period of our history—the Revolution
of 1688. The principal characters in this attractive
work are the prominent personages who were engaged
in bringing about this important change in the Govern-
ment. Amongst them are the Prince of Orange, the
Pensionary Fogel, the Bishop of London, the Earl of
Sunderland, Colonel Sydney, and the other Protestant
champions ; and James the Second, his Queen, his con-
fessor, and the most distinguished of his Popish friends
and advisers. The intrigues of the two parties, and the
general excitement which existed throughout the coun-
try, are well pourtrayed, and make the narrative re-
markably animated, whilst the imaginary personages,
scenes, and events, which the able author introduces
with great effect to give variety to his story, render it
one of the meat entertaining of all Mr. Horace Smith's
productions, not excepting even " Brambletye House"
itself.

The Senior and Junior United Service and the
other leading club-houses are undergoing their annual
course of re-embellishment during the absence of most
of the members from town.
