CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.--Mr. O'CON-
NELL, on Friday last, moved, that as the Duke of Wm.-
LANGTON had advocated the cause of the Dissenters, the re-
solution which had been passed on a former occasion, ex-
pressive of the ho4ility of the Catholics to the present
Administration, awl calling on the Irish Members of Par-
liament not to support any ministry having the Duke of
WELLINGTON at its head, be withdrawn. After a few
observations in reply from Messrs. O'GoRMtAN, Suxu,L, and
LAWLESS, further discussion of the question was postponed
till Wednesday next (to-morrow).
Messrs. CRAMER gave last night their an-
nual benefit Concert, at the flanoVer square Rooms., and,
as usual, it was attended by an overflowing auditnce,. The
novelty on this occasion consisted in the debut of two
young ladies as public performe:s, Miss ANTOINETTE and
Miss AIARIAN CRAMER, daughters of Mr. F. CRAMER,
the former as a pianoforte performer, and the latter as a
singer, of the Itslian school. The specimens they gave of
their respective attainments entitle them at once to that
rank of eminence in the musical profession which their
name has long held. Madame CARADOLI and Miss STE-
PHENS lent their aid on the occasion, as well as Mr.
VOGT, in a fitntasia of his own composition on the oboe.

At the last anniversary of tiumNs's birth-day,
in a provincial town on the banks of the Forth, a party of
gentlemen proposed meeting to celebrate the event; and we
can affirm, from the most unquestionable authority, that a
clergyman addressed a long letter to the gentleman ap_
pointed to take the chair, remonstrating with him on the
sinfulness of presiding at such unhallowed and anti-christian
orgi',s.—Edinburph Saturday's Post.

It was last night rather actively rumoured about
the Houses, that the Catholic Question is likely to ex-
perience another postponement. The causes assigned for
such probable postponement are various ; hut the principal
is, that the friends of the Question are desirous of waiting to
see the result of the KING'S proceedings on the subject of
the Test and Corporation Acts' Repeal Bill. They pause
to learn the decision—whether it is or is not to receive
the Royal Assent. It has been calculated that there are
six hundred and ten Members in town on account of the
Catholic Question, a larger number than has been known
to be in town for a long time, many Members on both
sides of the Question having been sent for from tke Conti-
nent...-Morning Herald.
