der. Having called on the Government to abolish such
an iniquitous practice, he proceeded to observe that,
there was a subject on which he felt it his duty to touch,
though it was with considerable pain he did so—he
alluded to the indications, as conveyed through the
press, that some of their prelates were about to receive
that act which he had so frequently styled the infidel
Colleges act. At a recent meeting in Cork, a Doctor
Bullen hetl declared that he spoke the sentiments of the
dignitaries of the Catholic Church when he expressed
his approval of the Government education scheme.
When he read that speech of Peel and Graham's friend,
Dr. Bullet], he could not keep out of his head the chorus
of a very old song, which ran somethins in this way,
Lillibulero, Bullen—a lad." He paid little attention,
however, to the expressions of such small fry as the
gentleman he had alluded to, but there bad been a
meeting held in Armagh, at which sentiments had been
uttered in a high quarter, which deserved their most
serious consideration. It had been said that the amend-
ments made by the Government in their Education Bill
bad satisfied the Catholic hierarchy of Ireland. If that
were the case. then indeed they, the lay Catholics of
Ireland, who, in the discharge of what they believed to
be a conscientious duty, opposed the Colleges Bill,
were placed in a most unenviable position.—(Hear.)
The Catholic Members of Parliament who opposed the
Education Bill, waited anxiously with feelings of the
most ready submission and reverence for the declaration
of the prelacy ; and had they been told they were satis-
fied with the Government's amendments, they should
sadly, sorrowfully, but still obediently and entirely, have
withdrawn their opposition to that Bill, which they
regarded and still regard as a curse.—(Hear, hear.) The
Archbishop of Tuam was under the same impression as
they were—that the amendments were not satisfactory,
and his letter to that effect has remained uncontradicted.
lie trusted that some authoritative expression of their
combined opinion would at once be :given by their re-
verend prelates, and thereby set the public mind at
rest. Let that decision be what it might, they would
submit to it most heartily ; but he hoped that the peo•
ple would not be left any longer in a state of uncertainty
and doubt on that fearfully important question. Tho
bon. gentleman then commented on an article which ap-
peared in the Morning Ch,onicle, ridiculing the absur-
dity of attempting to conciliate the Orangemen, and ex-
pressed his entire dissent from its premises ; on the
contrary, he had every expectation that the Orangemen
would see the fully of disunion, and would ere long co-
oerate with the repealers in endeavouring to achieve
that which alone could benefit their common country—
a domestic legislature.
At the termination of the proceedings, the rent for
the week was announced to be 224/. 14s. 3d.
The meeting then adjourned.
DIMINUTION OF OUITAGES IN THE
NORTH-WEST.
The Longford Journal says—" The hitherto disturbed
portion of this county, bordering Leitrim, is becoming
tranquil, no outrage having been committed in it for up-
wards of three weeks. Several stand of arms, which
were taken by the Molly Maguires, have, during the
present week, been given up to P. C. Howley, Esq.,
R. M., and the respectable farmers have volunteered
their services as special constables to aid the police in
the suppression of any further outrage."

A FISHING PARTY.—One day last week a party
of four gentlemen, not much accustomed to boating, set out
from Helensburgh to the buoy of Roseneath, for the purpose of
enjoying a few hours' fishing. As the evening drew on,
they resolved to return home,
_ and having pulled up
their lines, each and all of them took manfully to the
oars. They were but indifferent rowers, and made asto-
nishingly little progress. A strong tide seemed to be run-
ning against them, and the more they pulled the more obstinate
grew the resistance. Eight—nine—ten o'clock came, and
found them almost as far from the shore as ever. Never-
theless, they continued to tug away with the most despe-
rate perseverence, although completely worn out with fatigue,
until about eleven o'clock at night, when they discovered
to their infinite chagrin, that they had neglected
to lift the anchor ! The party soon after gained
the shore, but in a state of total exhaastion, having laboured
incessantly against anchor and cable for upwards of (four hours!
Great, of course, is the chuckling amongst their numerous
friends, in reference to this famous boating exploit off Rose-
neath. We likewise understand that the song usually called
for in any company they may enter is the favourite one of
" The anchor's weighed."— Glasgow Citizen
LOCK-JAW PRODUCED BY FRIGHT.--Yesterday
morning, Miss H. Bressy, residing in Seysell-street, Camden-
town, was alone in the house, the servant being out on a mes-
sage, and hearing a knock at the street-door she proceeded to
answer it, and upon opening the door two men forced themselves
in, and whilst one held the door the other took a valuable time-
piece from a bracket in the hall, and pushing Miss Dressy down,
they decamped. On the return of the servant she found Miss
Bressy lying in the passage in an insensible state. Medical as-
sistance being obtained, it was discovered that the young lady
was labouring under lock-jaw, produced by the fright she had
sustained, and she is considered in very great danger.
SCALDED TO DEATH.—Yesterday forenoon Mr.
Payne held an inquest at the Dun Horse, High-street, Borough,
on the body of Henry Watson, aged fourteen months, son of a
general dealer residing in Mint-street. On Sunday last
deceased's mother had strained the water off some boiled potatoes
into a large pan. Deceased was playing about the room, and
as he was walking along he lost his perpendicular, and fell
backwards into the boiling water. Deceased died on Tuesday
last. Verdict, "Accidental death. "
PROCLAMATION OF OurLAwKr.—Yesterday being
the adjourned County Court day, Mr. Hemp, the officer to the
Sheriff of Middlesex, declared the following persons as out-
laws :—William Le Poer Trench, Alexander Dalglash,
William R. Brinkman, otherwise Broadhead ; Gilbert
Anesley Young, Richard Fulke Greville, commonly caned
the Honourable Richard Fulke Greville; Richard Grey,
Patrick Leonard O'Reilly, Sir Charles Edward Gray, Knights
Sir Henry Wyatt, Knight., Joseph Ferdinand Count Ta.ffe,
H. C. S. Irvine, Charles Irvine, Charles White, the Rev.
George Brydges Lee Warner, Clerk ; James Whittaker, Mor-
timer Percy Drummond, at three suits ; William Randall,
Alexander Roper, B. L. Vulliamy, John Hunter, and some
others, whose names we could not distinctly catch.
NORFOLK RAILWAY.—On Saturday last no fewer
than three accidents occured. About half-past one in the
morning, as the mail train was coming past Wymondhans„
where the men are at work all night, the horses of the ballast
carriages, as usual, were taken to the opposite side of the line ;
but just before the train got up, three of them shyed, and
ran into the train, which in a moment cut them to pieces ;
all were killed, but no ill consequences to the train, which
proceeded on its journey. The next was a small accident
about a mile and a half on the London side of Bishop Stort-
ford, on the old Northern and Eastern Counties line. Here
a wheel came off the engine by the axletree breaking, so
that the passengers had to wait two hours for the
next down train, which took them on to Cambridge. The
third case was on the line between Norwich and. Yarmouth.
Some sheep having got upon the line, the traW. passed over
some of them, and several were killed, but no further mischief
happened, nor was there any danger, not eves so much as
might have attended a horse and gig under such circum-
stances ; but a considerable delay was occasioned, and some
alarm and anxiety were felt. In addition to these there have
been other slight accidents in the course of the week ; one be-
tween Thetford and Brandon, when the bottom of the furnace
fell out ; another, when a carriage in starting got off the line ;
but in which cases there was no danger, though they was
delay.—Bury Post.
Two CHILDREN SEVERELY BURNT.—Last night,
between eight and nine o'clock, a fire occurred in a back roma
on the second floor of a house in Wilde-street, Drury-lane, in
the occupation of a woman named Lynch. The mother, who
had incautiously placed a lighted candle on a chair by the side
of the bed where the two children were lying asleep, went out
for some tea and sugar, and during her absence the candle fell,
and set the chair on fire, which communicated to the bed-
clothes. A lodger in the house observing a great heat in the
room, opened the door, and hearing the children screaming,
she ran into the room, happily in time to save them from being
burnt to death, though both were much injured about the feet
and legs.
IVI. de Krabbe, the oldest diplomatist in Denmarkj„
died lately at the great age of 88. Having no children or im-.
mediate relations, he has left the whole of his large fortune,.
estimated at 1,200,000 f., to charitable institutions. On re-
tiring from public life, in 1843, he declined the pensicau of
30,000 f. to which he was entitled.
It is stated that Ilafod, the Duke of Newcastle's
summer seat near Aberystwith, has been purchased by Mr.e
Hoghton, of Bold Hall, Lancashire.— Worsestershire Chro-

RE-BUILDING OF THE NEW PRISON, CLERKEN-.
WELL, tiros: TIIE SOLITARY PRINCIPLE.-11 is understood
that the demolition of the New Prison, Clerkenwell, will shortly
commence, for the purpose of the erection of a new and consi-
derably enlarged place of confinement in the county of Middle-•
sex, on the solitary principle, after the plan of the Model Pri-.
son at Pentonviile, the magistrates of the county, assembled in
quarter sessions, having resolved to do so on account of the
great increase of late years in the number of commitments, and
the crowding of the present prisons which have resulted theve-.
from. The period occupied by the erection of the intended
new prison will, it is anticipated, be about eighteen months.
NEW RAILWAYS SANCTIONED LAST SESSION.—Of
the various new lines of Railways sanctioned by Parliament
during the recently-terminated session, the longest is the
South Wales line, which extends to 182 miles and upwards,
and the next the Caledonian, which is to be 1371 miles in
length. By far the larger number, however, are compara-
tively short, and it is curious to notice what remarkably
miniature railways some are described to be. Thus, the
Bristol and Exeter branches extend to 150 yards only,
though the capital is stated at 500,C00/. Again, the Masse
Chester and Oldham is one mile and a quarter in length, the
Newcastle and North Shields, Tynemouth Extension, line is s
mile and a half in extent ; the Sheffield and Rotherham, three
furlongs ; the Yarmouth and Norwich, two furlongs, fec. The
total length of the new railways sanctioned by Parlisarient hi
the last session, together with that of the amalgamated and
Irish lines, is no less than 2,841 miles; the capital proposed to
be raised, 44,322,2351. ; the estimated revenue, 4,67'2,2641.,
and the calculated dividend is expected to amount to 2,817,3114
THE ARCHITECTURE OF GENOA.—Situated on Oats
shores of the Mediteranean, Genoa forms a semicircle rising
with the slope of the mountains, which surround it, and has s
magnificent appearance. The palaces are so numerous, that
one might believe, that Genoa had only princes for iniunbitante,
and it was this that made Madame de Steel exclaim, when she
visited the place. that the grand street seemed to have bees
. built for a congress of kings. The vestibules, the courts,
the porticos, and especially the staircases, are hardly to
be equalled. The terraces and gardens are laid out with
remarkable skill, and no better materials, than are in
this city, could be found for the study of the art of landscape
gardening, and of other accessories, which the architects of
Italy were well conversant with, but which those of our owe
country are accustomed to neglect. The arrangement of the
steps at the entrance door. the gro!tos and fountains, are some
of the points to which attention may be profitably directed. If
is evident, that effects tl.e most remarkable are often obtaineg
by means the west simile. Each town of Italy has its parti-
cular description of arehitectnral beauty, and Genoa is most
remarkable for the disposition of its plans.— The Builder.
THE BOILER EXPLOSION ON TUE SOUTV-WESTERS
RAILwAY.—The accident on the line of the South-Westerei
Railway, which took place on Wednesday morning last, at
the Walton-on-Thames station, is likely to terminate far more
set iously than was at first anticipated. Upon making inquiry
last night at St. Thomas's Hospital, very slight hopes were
given of the engineer's life. Several other persons were itt.
jured, but not very seriously.
Lieutenant F. Higginson, R.N., in command of the
coast guard station at Rochester, having been discharged from
that service, will be succeded by Lieutenant Clayton, R.N.,
from the Paignton station, port of Dartmouth.—Kentish Ob•
server.
CANALS CHEAPER THAN RAILWAYS.—We have it
on good authority that the railway company has actually beer
forwarding coals and iron from their own wharf to Norwich by
water, as being cheaper to them than taking them on their own
rail. This speaks volumes as to their power to compete wits
such a navigation at we save,—Norwich Mercury.
