MEETING IN CLONMEL.
The Tipperary Free Press contains the following :
" FRIDAY Evirxixoi-NrxE o'CLocK.—One of the largest
and most influential meetings ever held in this town has, at
this moment, separated, after passing resolutions to maintain
peace and good order. The meeting was eloquently addressed
, by the Mayor, the Very Rev. Dr. Burke, Rev. Mr. Baldwin,
, and Alderman Hackett; and although sympathy for the
illustrious Liberator was enthusiastically manifested, they
'also resolved to collect the repeal rent, as the most practical
mode of illustrating their feelings in his regard."
GAL WAY.
A great meeting of the people of Galway took place on
Friday, in front of the Rev. B. J. Roche's Chapel, Boherbeg.
The Galway Vindicator contains the following :
" RLNGING OF JOY BELLS—ALARMLNG EXCITEMENT.—
About half an hour after the arrival of the mail In town, on
Friday, bringing the news of the Liberator's incarceration,
the joy-bells of the church of St. Nicholas (Galway) were
heard to ring out in the merriest strain, though at the mo-
ment the popular excitement was. raised to the highest pitch
of indignation 1)y the intelligence received. Francis Moore,
Esq., and Mr. Michael Winter at once ran up to the sexton's
apartment, over the vestibule of the church, to put a stop to
the ringing, but the sexton was not there, being engaged in
the belfry. They immediately returned, and a crowd having
gathered, labouring under the most terrific excitement, the
church door was burst in by the gentlemen we have named
—the crowd remaining outside the railings at their
earnest entreaty. The ringing continued, and a fair
being held at the same time, at the green, the
multitude abandoned their avocations, and swept down the
main street, towards the church, with almost lightning
speed. The moment was an awful one; but, fortunately,
while Messrs. Winter and Moore were hastening to the
belfry, the Rev. Thomas Rush, P.P., and the Rev. L. Leonard,
C.C., arrived before the church door, and kept the people, by
their appeals to O'Connell's solemn demands of them for the
preservation of the peace, from wreaking immediate ven -
geance by an attack on the church. All this time the Rev.
Gentlemen to whom we have referred, as well as Mr. T.
Murray, and other gentlemen, who subsequently arrived,
were scarcely able to control the passions of -the multitude—
aroused as they were by the unexampled wrong inflicted on
the illustrious advocate of their liberties, and this apparent
rejoicing at his incarceration. Caddy, the sexton, at length
appeared, and stated that it was for no political purpose the
bells were rung, but• in honour of Mr. Kirwan, of Castle-
hacket, on his first arrival in town after his late marriage.
This explanation did not, however, appear well-founded—
for Mr. Kirwan arrived in town on the previous evening, and
the bells could have been rung at an earlier hour than the
coming in of the mail, if that were the purpose. Not a single
respectable Protestant was apprised of the affair.
ARCHBISHOP WHALE.
The following letter of Dr. M'Hale has been published :
" St. Jarlath's, M 31, 18
" Dear Sir—ln forwarding the O'Connell Compensation
Fund no time should be lost. I beg to send you five pounds
towards indemnifying that great benefactor of his country,
whose services no money can requite, and whose energies no
persecution can subdue. His temporary confinement will, no
doubt, be a source of temporary triumph to his enemies. But
in the hands of a gracious Providence it will become the in-
strument of accelerating, peacefully and without crime, the
legislative emancipation of our country, which it was intended
to crush or retard.—l am, yours faithfully,

ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY OF

LONDON.
On Tuesday took place the second, exhibition of plants
and flowers in the grounds of this Society, Regent's.-
park, and it is a pleasant duty to report that nothing
could have possibly gone off better and with more eclat.
The show was deservedly acknowledged by all to be of
the most magnificent description, surpassing, according
to the opinion of judges, any former exhibition of the
kind held in this country.
Amongst the principal amateur exhibitors were Lady
Antrobus, Mrs. Wray, of Cheltenham, Mrs. Marryatt,
Mrs. Lawrence, Miss Traill, Mr. Norman, and Mr.
Rucker • in the nurseryman's classes were Messrs.
Cattleugh, Henderson, Games, and others. The most
attractive features of the show were the gay and curious
air-plants of Mr. Rucker, with the flowers in some cases
shooting from the under side of the suspended baskets, I
One of the most remarkable of this kind was the prig.:
plant of Mrs. Lawrence---Stanhopea tigrini, with "eight
or nine spikes of black and purple gaping ilvvers, re-
sembling the mouth of some uncommon animal, rather
than a vegetable production. Tte roses in pots also
attracted the particular notice of the visitors, as did the
collections of heaths, especially those of Mr. Goodheart
and Mr. Storey, that of the latter being a collection of
fifteen or twenty now kinds, and was considered quite
a novelty in this department of floral ailt. Many of
them were very fine with yellow flowers. Mr. Nor-
man's very large specimen of Ixora, coccinea, with 30 or
40 large heads of flowers, was much admired, as were
three collections, from Lady Antrobus, Miss Traill, and
Mr. Norman of miscellaneous store and greenhouse
plants. There were besides some newly-imported kinds
from Messrs. Viesch and Son, of Exeter. In fine, to
notice all the classes which were displayed for exhibi-
tion in this extraordinary gathering of flowers we can-
not find room ; suffice it, that there were fuschias,
cinerarias, exceedingly fine pelargoniums cut roses,
pansies, ferns, cacti, calceolarias, &c.
The weather, which until the present week had ap- ,
proached almost to inclemency, suddenly took a most
propitious change, and displayed the attractions of the
gardens to such advantage as to cause them to fill early
with a company of the most elegant and fashionable qua-
lity, amounting to several thousands, who mostly re-
mained until a late period of the evening. Among them
were his Royal Highness the Make Of Cambridge, the
Duchess of Sutherland and the Ladies Gower, the Mar-
quis of Aylesbury, the Duchess of Cleveland, the Duke
and Duchess of Victoria, the Bishops of Durham and
Winchester, Marchioness of Cornwallis, Lady Spencer
Stanhope, Lady Hume Campbell, Lady Finch, the Bel-
gian Ambassador, and the Earl of Wentworth.

FULHAM. REGATTA.
A very spirited and excellent race took place on Tuesday
amongst the watermen plying at Fulham-bridge, many of
whom have acquired some celebrity, and have distinguished
themselves as scullers in picked matches upon the Thames.
The contest was with tea pair of sculls, in three heats, for a
purse of sovereigns, given by theladies and gentlemen resi-
dent at Fulham, and drew a very large assemblage of per-
sons. At three o'clock the following took their stations for the
first heat :
W. Phelps, green; J. Kelly, sen., yellow; W. Hill, stripes;
J. Hawkins, plaid; and J. Powel, sen., white.
The distance contested was from ulham-bridge, up the
river, round a boat moored off the Crab Tree, down•round a
boat moored off the Broom House, up through the centre
arch of Fulham-bridge.
Yellow took the lead, followed by plaid and white, the two
latter being scull and scull, and making a most excellent race
all the way up. The three boats rounded the distance buoy
on each other's quarter, and maintained their position down
to the Broom House and back to the bridge. Yellow won by
two
fourth lengths, plaid was second, white third, and stripes
.

Immediately after the close of this heat, W. Snell, pink ;
J. Kelly, junior, blue ; J. Powell, red ; S. Knight, light blue ;
and J. Johnson, purple, went ofl' for the next heat, rowing
the same distance as before.
It was a very even start, the lead being taken by purple,
closely followed by red and blue, and light blue well up.
Off the Vice-Chancellor's red and blue passed purple, but the
three boats turned round within a length of each other.
In coming down blue took the lead, closely followed by red,
which latter shortly afterwards regained his place, and won,
the heat ; blue was second, purple third, and light blue fourth.
At half-past six the three first men of each of the two
preceding heats started for the grand heat. Yellow and red
took the lead, waited upon by purple and plaid. In rounding
the distance boats blue and red got together, allowing purple
to cut them off. In this way they continued some time, when
red rowed by blue and purple at the same moment. In this
way they continued round the boat, and although each tried,
his utmost no change took place. Yellow won by about 150
yards ; red was second, blue third, purple fourth, and plaid
and white on his quarter. The race was very-excellently
conducted by John Phelps and John. Freeman, both of whom
are well known to the public.

Love, the polyphonist, is 'engaged in presenting a
course Of lectures and entertainments at the Assembly
Rooms, Bath. His performances were received, on his
first appearance,' about'three weeks ago; with exclama-
tions of astonishment and peals of laughter, and every
evening since the rooms have been crowded to the
doors. On Saturday last a large number of fashionable
parties, many of them from a distance, were compelled
to return home without witnessing the entertainments,
every seat having been occupied nearly half-an-hour
before the time announced for beginning; and Mr. Love
has in consequence been induced to postpone his con-
templated visit to Clifton and Cheltenham, and will give
several more representations in Bath previous to his de-
parture. The local journals say that he surpasses all
the artistes of his class who have appeared in our times,
and that his entertainments constitute a mental repast
of the most gratifying kind, and possess the merit of
decided originality.
•
A malicious paragraph, just at this time, has ap-
peared in a Parisian revolutionary journal, which is
marked with enmity not only to the Royal Family of
England, but also to that of Frawe. It is to the effect,
that the King of Saxony, now on a tour in this
country, and about to become the guest of her Majesty
and Prince Albert, at Windsor Castle, has issued orders
to the authorities in his kingdom not to recognise, or give
the title of ".Highness" to, the Dukes of Saxe Coburg
and Anhalt ; and the writer adds,- that a similar order
has been made by the King of Prussia, whose reception
in England was so flattering at the christening of the
infant Prince of Wales. Now this, on the face of it, is a
rank fabrication, and only a repetition of what was cir-
culated on the marriage of the Princess Clementina of
Orleans with the Prince of the Coburg line ; for no
third-rate sovereign, as the King of Saxony unquestion-
ably is, would venture to adopt a course that would wear
the semblance of insult, when a compliment was about
to be conferred upon him by the Queen of England,
who is so closely united to the destinies of the house of
Coburg. The same denial may be given for the King of
Prussia, the introduction of whose name was far fetched.
The position of Prince Albert, as the Consort of Queen
Victoria, is equal to that of the Sovereign in whose
kingdom he enjoys a hereditary title as ancient as the
Sovereign himself. But why waste words upon so
flagrant a falsehood? for this reason, that the cynics at
the Clubs (of course not the Carlton), are indulging in
remarks on the indifference of the royal tourist in visit-
ing noblemen and driving about the country before pay-
ing his respects to her Majesty.—Caledonian Mercury.
THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.—A vast concourse of
the nobility and gentry inserted.their names in the visiting
book at the Russian Embassy on Tuesday. The list of those
persons who were anxious to pay their respects to the Em-
peror of Russia is far too voluminous for publication in our
columns ; but amongst the names were those of the Dukes
of Marlborough, Sutherland, and Buckingham and Chandos,
the Marquises of Salisbury, Winchester, Anglesey, the Mar
chioness of Blandford, the Earls of Sondes, Lonsdale, Powis,
Oxford, Mansfield, Shannon, Manvers, Eldon, Cawdor, the
Countesses of Powis, Shannon, Ashburnham (Dowager),

ton, Melville, Viscountesses Dungarvon, Pollington, Newry,
