GENTLEMEN,—The country may have confidenee
in itself. Its elements of moral activity and material
prosperity are freely developing themselves. I doubt
not that this favourable situation will be strengthened
and completed by the support which the Government
will find in your patriotism and loyal concurrence.
Shortly af, er the Speech was delivered, her Ma-
jesty and the young Princes left the house, and
proceeded to the Palace by the Rue Royale. In
a few minutes after their arrival they presented them-
selves in the balcony in front of the Palace,' and waited
there till the King had returned from the Parliament.
His Majesty entered the Palace for a few minutes,
and shortly afterwards returned on horseback to the
open space in front of the Palace, and reviewed the
whole of the Civic Guard, who defiled before him.
He was saluted repeatedly with cries of Vice le Roi,
which he frequently acknowledged by lifting off his
bat. The Volunteer Regiment, who occupied the
posts of honour, displayed their flag, which they
bore at the time of the revolution.

THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE.
The new buildings opposite to the east end of the
Exchange have now reached an elevation which
enables us to judge sufficiently how much they will
obstruct the view and impair the effect of this elabo-
rate part of the magnificent pile. It must now be
obvious to the most economical advocates for small
areas and close views, that it would be necessary to
clear away the space to Finch-lane, at least, in order
to give the tower a chance of being well seen. The
oblique view from Birchin-lane has' been said, by a
correspondent of a Morning paper, to be the most
favourable that can be had of the whole structure.
But surely it cannot be pretended that the new houses
opposite do not interfere with, and materially spoil the
effect, even in that view--whereas they exclude us
altogether from obtaining, at an adequate distance, a
direct view, in which alone the symmetry of the
tower itself, and its harmony with the parts
upon which it is imposed, could be truly observed.
That the architect considered it an important feature,
and that he intended it should be imposing, is very
evident; and it is also to be supposed that those who
selected the design regarded it as such. The ordi-
nary observer cannot possibly be impressed with its
full character and expression from any point of sight
that is now accessible; and after the expenditure of
so much money, and the employment of so much
talent, in erecting a temple of commerce that might
be worthy of its great purpose, and of the commercial
capital of the world, it is a pitiable economy to de-
tract so much from its grandeur for a saving com-
paratively mean. This poor parsimony we regret the
more, on account of the grave objections we are com-
pelled to make to this very tower itself, which is de-
prived of its only chance of looking to advantage.
As seen from the east front over the portico, it does
not seem to belong to the building, and as
seen from Birchin-lane, it seems a very anomalous
superstructure. It is palpably incongruous with the
form and character of the whole building. If there
must be a tower, the prejudice of Mr. Tite against
projections (expressed in the description of his plan)
might have yielded to this necessity, and a beautiful
tower might be less objectionable as an appendage to
a building of this style and model, than it is inad-
missible as a part. At all events, there is no excuse
for the erection of a tower without a base, and upon
the top of a building, in outline and details abso-
lutely complete. The rich, bold entablature, being
continued over the sunken tetrastyle in the centre of
the east-end, effectually cuts off the tower from the
building below, and renders its baseless character
more obvious. We believe, however, that in one
point of view, which the poverty or the niggardliness
of the City has shut out, this blemish would be less
apparent, and the effect of the whole east-end would
be rich and pleasing, though not correct —we mean
from a moderate distance in direct front of the centre,
from Finch-lane.
There aro yet some particulars in the exterior to
which we must make exception, and reluctantly, be-
cause we admit its general grandeur. The greatest
of all is the essential want Of characteristic expres-
sion. So far as we have had opportunities of judging,
this complaint would lie against the other designs in
the competition. The subject is one of great diffi •
culty ; and, in what way that difficulty was to he
overcome, or the great purpose of the building was
to be expressed in its external structure, it would be
presumptuous, as it is too late for us, to suggest to
the able and accomplished President. Yet we may
observe that, in the late Exchange, this was to some
extent effected. The arcades and the shops within
them gave it the character of a place to which people
resorted for trade, and it is scarcely too much to say,
that a stranger, knowing only that there was in Lon-
don a great building for the congress of the merchants
of the world, would say—on coining unguided to the
spot--" this is the Exchange." The shops, in the
intercolumniations of Mr. Tite's work, do not supply
the deficiency of character; but they are moreover
very poor, and altogether at variance with the bold-
ness and richness of the other details. Nor can we
cease from fault-finding until we have protested
against the erection of those two fragments of an

sound brown 47s 6d, middling 42s 6d, washed 42s to
46s 6d, and low 38s 6d to 39s 6d. Manilla is wanted,
and 1,000 bags of low damp brown were sold privately
at 14s 9d to 15s per cwt.
FOAEIGN.—There has been less inclination manifested
to do business in the Foreign Sugar market since last
Tuesday, but merchants generally show firmness, and
refrain from pressing sales. For Yellow Havannah
former rates have been obtained. In White little
business has been transacted. In Porto Rico the
operations are upon a more extended scale,
and 300 hhds have been sold at 195 6d. Importers of
Brazil have accepted prices 6d per cwt under those of
this day week. The arrivals of all sorts are small since
we last wrote. The deliveries continue good, and the
accounts from the Foreign markets are still satisfactory
for Foreign Sugar of all descriptions.
MOLASSES.—In the price of West India no alteration
has occurred, and holders refrain from pressing sales ;
purchases to a fair extent have been made, and 300 puns
sold, nearly all Antigua, at 23s 6d to 24s per cwt ' • the
demand is decidedly improving, and arrivals are falling
off. For East India previous rates are asked, and ra-
ther more demand exists at 14s to 16s per cwt ; these
very low rates are likely to operate materially against
shipments from Calcutta and Madras.
COME.—Although there are sellers of West India
Coffee upon further reduced terms, still few purchasers
are to be met with; the business transacted privately
has been trifling in all descriptions, and only 30 pkgs of
Dominica have been offered at auction, which sold at
56s to 60s for fine and fine ord, and 40s to 45s per cwt
for ord and good ord mixed: the unusual dulness that
prevails in the West India market is to be attributed to
the abundance and cheapness of all other sorts of Coffee.
This afternoon there was rather more demand for
Ceylon Coffee, and 244 bags at public sale were mostly
disposed of at stiffer rates ; very good ord pale went at
54s to 55s 6d, fine ord Plantation sort 635, fine fine ord
695, sea damaged 493 to 595, triage 30s to 455, inferior
15a 6d ; a few lots were taken in above the value, good
ord at 555. By private contract the transactions were
upon a more extended scale at 52s 6d to 53s per cwt for
good ord.
TEA.—The trade have evinced little inclination to
purchase any kind of Tea since Tuesday last, and a
greater desire has been shown on the part of holders of
Green to realise, and for black prices are not so firm;
the market has been abundantly supplied with nearly
every kind ; indeed, the quantity has proved far more
than sufficient for the demand. The business transacted
has been almost confined to the public sales, at which the
trade evinced little inclination to purchase, and the bid-
dings throughout the sales were very languid, but any
material decline in prices was prevented by merchants
buying in and withdrawing large parcels. To-day there
was little business transacted in the Tea market, and in
some cases the rates accepted were rather under those of
the public sales : Congou common heated sold at Sid,
sound common 10d to 101-d, and Twankay is Id to Is 2d
per lb.
SPICES.—This afternoon Malabar Pepper met with
little attention ; at public sale 835 bags were only partly
sold at easier rates, and went at 3id for half heavy ;
2id to 3d for sea damaged first class, lid for
second class, 21-d for ditto, and repacked. 430 bags
Malabar all damaged were sold at good prices, first class
at 30 to 34d, second demi 2id to 3d, third class 2-id to
2/cl, ditto, and repacked 3d ; of white 107 cases of Tel-
lichery were taken in at 9d for bright coriander, being
above the value; three lots damaged sold at 6s 8d per lb.
The quarterly sales of Cinnamon will not take place until
the 4th November.
BUN, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—Jamaica Rum is
wanted by shippers and the home trade : prices rule
firm for all descriptions, and 350 puns have been dis-
posed of, 28 to 34 per cent over proof, fair quality at 4s
to 4s 4d : 32 to 36 over, fine 4s Ild to ss; and superior
5s 4d to 6s per gallon. For Leeward Island the market
is quiet, and prices are still drooping : the sales are
only 120 puns at 2s 4d to 2s 4id proof
strength, being Id per gallon under former rates.
Demerara sold at 3s 5d to 3s 7d, for 32 to
37 per cent over proof. Calcutta at 2s 3d proof.
with certificate. The stock of all sorts of Rum is dimi-
nishing, and is considerably less- than it was last season
at this time. Holders of Brandy remain firm ; Cognac,
best brands of the vintage of 1838, hhds 5s Id, puns 48
lld ; 1839, hhds 4s I Id, puns 4s 8d ; 1840, hhds 4s 10d,
puns 4s 8d ; 1841, hhds 4s 9d, puns 4s 7d ; 1842, hhds
4s 6d, puns 4s 4d, low 3s to 3s 3d, and mid 3s 4d to 35
10d per gallon. For Genera Is 9d to Is 10d per gallon
accepted. For English Corn Spirits prices are still sus-
tained. To-day prices were firmer for Leeward Island
Rum, sales being made at 2s 4d to 2s 5d proof. Ja-
maica is held with firmness.
FRUIT.—To-day buyers of Valentia Raisins came
forward more freely, and cleared the market at 50s per
cwt.. Currants were in good request, new Patras at
47s to 495, and Zante ditto at 47s per cwt. For Figs
prices remain firm.
COCOA.—For West India prices are sustained, but at
present little is to be had ; the market will in a few days
be better supplied. At auction 10 brls of St. Vincent's
went at 30s to 365. Foreign is firm in price and in good
demand.
RICE.—To-day some parcels of Bengal Ttice were sold
privately at stiff rates ; there was no public sale. Ca-
rolina cleaned hero is higher, and fetching 23s to 27a
per cwt. Patna is 13s to 17s 6d per cwt. This after-
noon 133 bags of Rio Tapioca at public sale were taken
in at 4id to 5d per lb.
SALTPETRE.—The demand is improving for English
Refined, and prices rule firm at 29s 6d to 30s per cwt;
with rough the market is still sparingly supplied. Cal-
cutta at auction loto lit per cent refraction; middling
grey -at 25s to 25s 6d, 445 l per cent, for good grey
26s 6d, and washed 235. This afternoon common sound
was not to be purchased privately under Dis Ott per cwt.
Isaszeo.—since the conclusion of the sale several
parcels have been disposed of for shipping and home
consumption, but at no improvement in prices. The
small parcels of Spanish disposed of have been at prices
rather under those that prevailed a few weeks back.
TURPENTINE.—The demand has increased consider-
ably for Spirits, and advanced rates paid ; large parcels
have been disposed of at 27s to 28s per cwt ; upon these
terms some parties will not sell. In rough several pur-
chases were made at 7s to 7s 6d per cwt ; the supply is
only a moderato one. •
CocimsEAL—The supply has been large and a further
decline in prices of ld to 2d per lb has occurred ; upon
these terms there has however been a good business
transacted, and the parcels offered at auction were
nearly all disposed of.
OlLS.—Common descriptions of Fish Oils are not
much wanted at present, and holders are much inclined
to press sales ; for Cod prices have declined 32115 s to
331; and Pale Seal 35/ to 351 5s per tun. Southern,
however, has sustained the previous value, 28/ to
331 having been obtained for low to fine quality.
Sperm, fine British, has been fetching 901 to
911 per tan. Linseed Oil has been taken sparingly, and
owing to the increasing supply, the crushers and free
sellers at 23s 6d to 23s 9d per cwt. Rape is still wanted,
and prices rule firm, pale at 36s to 36s 6d, and brown
35s to 35s 6d per cwt. In Olive there has been rather
more business transacted, at 44l to 45/ for Gallipoli, 41/
to 43/ for Spanish, and 391 to 401 per tun for Barbary.
Cocoa Nut at 27s 61 to 30s per cwt. Palm 26s 6d to
27s per cwt. American Lard Oil 421 to 451 per ton.
TasLow.—Prices have ruled firm for Russian Tallow,
and there has been an increased business transacted
on the spot. New P Y Candle has been fetching
41s 3d to 41s 6cl, and old 41s per cwt. For delivery, a
good business has been done, and 41s 3d to 4ls 6d paid
for the next two months. Town Tallow at 42s to 42s 6d
nett cash. Other sorts have been in increased request,
and stiffer rates given. For public sale on Friday, 280
casks South American, 250 casks New South Wales and
East India ; 150 barrels of North American ; 41 casks of
Italian Tallow are declared.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
11.2.021 TM§ IMMIX() PAMIRS OP TIM DAT.
GLOBE.—It were much to be wished that Sir
James Graham's proposed amelioration of the game-
laws could by some means or other be brought
into operation before the coming Christmas. At the
moment we are writing, when the sessions of the
county justices are taking place throughout the
country, the prisoners indicted for game offences are
but few, or none. It is not until later in the season
that the fertile crop of crime, which these laws un-
fluctuatingly produce, begins to be reaped. But it
is painful to reflect, that with an entire change of
the game-law system in actual consideration, some
hundreds of its victims will, in all probability, be suf-
fering a life-long doom of banishment, from which but
a few months would have saved them. That the
game-laws produce much crime is admitted. The
utmost that is contended for is, that their effects are
exaggerated ; and that the remedy is to be looked
for, not in legislation, but in the moderation of the
landed proprietors. This view of the subject we find
ably enforced in a speech ,by Lord Charles Russell,
at a meeting of the justices of Bedfordshire on Tues-
day, the 15th instant. We extract the following
from the report in the Cambridge Independent Press :
" He had said thae.he had no hope in legislation on
this subject: it seemed to be generally admitted that
some laws respecting game must exist, and none could,
he thought, be more simple and rational in principle
than the present laws. They proceeded on the prin-
ciple that those who occupied land should have the quiet
possession of it. In ordinary cases, there being no
strong inducement to trespass, an action at law was a
sufficient protection; but, as gamo afforded a stronger
inducement to trespassers, it was necessary that there
should be a readier way of punishing them. With re-
spect to the evils ascribed to the Game-laws, the
principal were these :—The demoralisation of the
poor; the great consumption by game of what ought
to be the food of man; and the diminution of the
amount paid for labour, by placing difficulties in the
way of the due cultivation of the soil, by not growing
green and root crops. The first of these, he believed,
was much exaggerated: with regard to the two latter,
he fully admitted them, but did not think them by any
means necessary consequences of the game-laws, but
proceeding from want of moderation in the landlords
availing themselves of them."
After alluding to the battue system, Lord Charles
continued :
" That was a foreign system of sporting ; but no
law could remedy it : any law upon the subject would
unavoidably be a sumptuary law ; and what would be
too much game for one locality might not be so for
another. . . . . He would say, gentlemen
must look to moderation rather than to legislation."
Now we most readily admit that " those who
occupy land," or any other property, " should have
the quiet possession of it;" and we have no objection
to the axiom generally, that greater inducement to
trespassers must be met by readier means of punish-
ment. But we doubt whether these principles involve
all that is contained in the present system of
game-laws. Under the present system, the
servants of a game preserver may take up any
man with a gun, and without a license, upon
the Queen's highway—(vide Lord Stradbroke's
Act)—and may bring him before their master,
the owner of the game, who may himself
punish, without appeal, for the offence committed upon
his own property ; and all this without a farthing
expense to himself, but falling on the ratepayers gene-
rally, not a tithe of whom probably ever see game out
of the poulterer's. We confess we should not expect to
find all this involved in the expression, "readier means
of punishment." The proposal which gave rise to
the discussion—though withdrawn for another consi-
dered more likely to receive the assent of the j ustices—
was simply, that the expenses incurred in the prosecution
and conviction of
_poachers should be defrayed by
the parties prosecuting. A measure more simple,
and more calculated to cure any " want of modera-
tion in the landlords availing themselves of the
game-laws," we cannot readily conceive. There
are several assumptions that must be msde before
the present game-law system can be even ex-
cused. That game is property in the same sense
and to the same extent as a horse or a fowl—
that it more concerns the well-being of society
that a hare or partridge should be placed every
day in the season on the table of the Peer,
than that demoralising influences should not break
up the home of the peasant, making of himself an
exile and of his family vagabonds—we know not,
even if more than this must not be granted before we
could be induced to place our reliance upon the mode-
ration only of the game preserves. With no motive
in the world to create moderation, but with every
facility to gratify the most immoderare desires, we do
more than pause. Laws are made, not to rely on what
men will do, but to guard against what they may do.
Chat system is essentially faulty which confides the
power of punishment to the party interested, relying
upon his moderation to keep some proportion between
the punishment and the offence. It would be equally
reasonable to grant the poacher the liberty of trespass
at will, confiding in his moderation to leave a sufficient
stock of game upon the estate. There is, no doubt,
t power of revision—which it is understood has of
late been exercised—in the Secretary of the Home
Department. But if the present system is to be
maintained, and the power of revision- to be relied
on, it will be necessary to create a new officer,
to be known as the Chief General Justiciary
of all the Shires of the Realm. Legislation
may, at least, do this—it may supply motives to
moderation. The landlords must not be the only
parties interested, with the sole power of punish-
ment and the sole avoidance of expense. The
rights are too much for the duties. If need be, let
the right remain ; but let the expense of defending it
tall upon the parties interested—for this, least of all
kinds of property, it concerns the State to protect—
let all violations of it be judged of it by a jury not
composed of the landlord's tenants-at- will, and let
some more fit judge be chosen to award the punish-
ment than, in any possible case, the owner of the game.
Much has been said respecting the administration of
justice by the county magistracy ; and we may freely
state—without at present discussing the general ar-
•;ument—that we believe, so far as that function goes,
professional substitutes, or assessors, would be more
competent, snore attentive, and more impartial. But
the question we are now discussing may be decided
apart from the more, general question. We can for-
give incompetence; we can put up with neglect of
duty, within reasonable limits ; but a system which
reverses the leading principle of English judicature,
and transforms the judge from a counsel for the
prisoner into the party principally interested in his
condemnation and rigorous punishment, is too shock
ing in the bare idea.

arcade, which stand in such awkward prominence upon
the roof on either side of the pediment. They are said
to be chimney stacks, elegantly disguised. Now, if
high classical architecture, so unsuited to our climate,
continues to he adopted to our principal buildings,
some means of dispensing with chimneys ought to bi;
contrived.

In the interior, whilst grandeur proportionate to
that of the exterior is maintained, no objection forces
itself upon the judgment of a candid observer. The
area of the ambulatory is spacious—the surrounding
architecture, bold, rich, and imposing. The ceiling
and walls of arcade are adorned with arabesque, in
finely-coloured terracotta, of elegant design and sin-
gear beauty. The introduction of this material will
do wonders in the adornment of interiors, both in
public and private edifices._ Upon a close examina-

tion, we are greatly pleased with the exactness and
fine finish of all parts of the work ; and this remark
applies equally to every other department. Vie ac-
curacy of the masonry could not be surpassed, and
the carved work—in the festoons, capitals, &c.—is
admirably executed. The contractor, Mr. Jackson,
deserves infinite credit for the manner in which he
has completed his undertaking, with faultless work.

'With respect to the external architecture, having
remarked upon blemishes, which might have been
avoided, and must be acknowledged with regret, we
are the more free to avow our admiration of the
general effect—the magnificence of the portico at the
west-end--and the noble design of the entrances in
the north and south sides. Whatever faults a severe

-criticism may profess to discover, Mr.

of Leo to the reign of our own Victoria. Our accom-
plished Queen will be as well pleased to inaugurate
his noble building, as was her glorious predecessor,
Elizabeth, in the inauguration of the original struc-
ture. The spirit of the munificent Gresham may be
supposed to look down with satisfaction upon this
worthy tribute to his memory, and the citizens of
London will long be proud of their " New Royal
Exchange."

that at one time we equalled their productions of the
present day, and the only difference that exists is our
want of proper artists, and of course the want of pro-
per instructors, to educate them for the profession.
While they employ (as did our former manufacturers)
men who understand the principles of design and
the harmony of colouring, and who make it their
aim to unite every beauty With taste and cultivated
judgment, we throw all this important branch upon
persons who, to gain a scanty living, require to unite
the two professions of designer and dealer in block-
cutting. It is not to be expected but that those men
will throw off a number of patterns of most inferior
quality ; they cannot be supposed to pay the atten-
tion which is required to produce good work, nor
have they ever had the means of educating themselves
sufficiently to enable them to equal work. which is the
result of careful and indefatigable study and prac-
tice. This shows a great want of encouragement
on the part of the English manufacturers that we
must hope to see remedied. The designer in
England is not deemed the man of taieti—the man
of genius—who is looked up to as possessing great
and superior abilities, whose refinement of mind en-
sures him respect and honour wherever he goes ;—no,
he on whom the manufacturer depends for his success
in trade—he on whom devolves the important task of
creating from his practice or mind beautiful forms
and elegant combinations, it is a melancholy fact, is
paid less for his labour than the mechanic that is
merely employed to print the pattern after it is pre-
pared to his band, who has no necessity for thought,
nothing but that which is within the power of com-
mon animal strength to exert.—Thee Builder.

CONFUCIUS AND THE MUSICAL
GOVERNOR.
In the same year, Ke-kang-tsee, one of the Minis-
ters of the King of Loo, wrote to Confucius to invite
him to return into his native country ; he sent him
money for the expenses of his journey, and added con-
siderable presents of every description, to induce him
to yield to his request. Confucius did not want any
reward for doing what he was required. He had al-
ready for some time formed the design of leaving the
kingdom of Wei, where he felt himself to be useless;
he took advantage, therefore, of the good-will of the
Minister of the King of his native country, and set
off on his return.
On the road there was a considerable town, then
named Ou-Ching, the care of which was entrusted to
one of his disciples, named Tsee-yeou. As he ap-
proached the city he was surprised to hear the sound
of the great instruments, and the notes of the music
appropriated to the solemn ceremonies. lie turned
towards his disciples, and said to them, laughing,
"To kill a chicken you do not want the same knife
that is used in slaying an ox."
Tsee-yeou, who had come to meet Confucius, imme-
diately understood what Confucius alluded to, and,
without being disconcerted, immediately replied,
" Master, I have not forgotton the lessons which you
have given me, and I have endeavoured to turn them
to account. You have taught us that there is no man
incapable of acquiring wisdom ; and that one of the
ways of acquiring it is, the study of the grand music
and the grand ceremonies, because it is, in studying
the grand music and the grand ceremonies, that we
learn to regulate our own hearts according to the
dictates of sound reason, and to conduct ourselves to-
wards our fellow-creatures according to the rules of
that universal charity which teaches us to love all
men in general, and every one in particular. The
inhabitants of the little town which is under my- go-
vernment arc men • I endeavour to lead them to wis-
dom by the path which you have pointed out to us."
" I am perfectly satisfied with what you say,"
said Confucius, " it was without reflection, and for
the amusement of the moment, that I said that you
should not use the same knife to kill a chicken as an
ox. I approve of your conduct; continue to conduct
yourself in the same manner, and rely upon my
approbation."—Captain Pidding's Chinese Olio.

STATE OP TRADE AT MANCHESTER.—The con-
tinued uncertainty with respect to the factory hands,
keeps the market here in a very buoyant state.
Yarn, being exceedingly scarce, and must of the
spinners under engagement for some weeks, whilst
the demand is considerable, the prices continue to im-
prove. Goods are also firm in price, though the
market is scarcely so active as it was last week.--
ROCIEDALE FLANNEL MARRRT OCT. 21.—There is not

the least improvement in the flannel market, which has
been extremely dull and inactive. The wool market
has been equally flat, and the sales extremely limited:—

MARKET . INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 22.)
SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India were firm,
and obtained former rates for all descriptions, there
was a good and general business transacted ; some
of the late arrivals of Sugar are of very ordinary
quality. The purchases were 500 hhds, &c., in-
cluding a public sale of 143 hhds 7 tierces of Bar-
badoes Sugar, which went off with less spirit, but
merchants would not take lower rates, and bought in
fine yellow sold at 62s 6d, good 59s to GOs
6sodm,
geol.o)dts ;
mid 58s to 58s 6d, mid 56s to 575, and low 544
Gd to 55s 6d per cwt. The accounts come to hand from
Barbadoes state that the production of Sugar this sea-
son had proved to be 21,590 hhds 1,300 tierces and'Bl6
barrels, being nearly 2,000 hhds less than in 1843 ; the
whole of the Sugar had been shipped.

—TATAR! FUNERAL.--The military display of the
veteran corps of pensioners was on Thursday brought to
a close in performance of a melancholy duty—the burial
of a comrade. James Mason, the veteran in question,
died very suddenly on Tuesday night. He had been
out at the inspection all the day previous, apparently in
good health, when Major-General Sir Niel Douglas, who
retained a lively recollection of his services during the
late war, entered into conversation with him, the de-
ceased having been with Sir Niel at the memorable
field of Waterloo; on which occasion Mason acted as
field bugler to that distinguished officer. The corps hav-
ing formed in military order before the residence of the
deceased in the Lawnmarket—a firing party in front
with arms reversed, and the band—proceeded with the
corpse shoulder high to the New Cemetery at Warris-
ton, where his remains were interred with the usual mi-
litary honours. The streets were crowded with spec-
tators, attracted by the novelty of the spectacle.—.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HO USE.
A young woman, named Mary Saunders, was
brought before Alderman Gibbs, by Mr. Owen, the
proprietor of the Yorkshire Grey tavern, in Lower
Thames-street, as a destitute person.
Mr. Owen stated that the young woman came to
town, from Leeds, by the Hull steam-packet, on
Thursday, with her master and mistress and two
children, and they lodged at his house till Saturday.
On Saturday morning they went out, and, at about
twelve o'clock, the master and mistress and children
returned, and the bill having been settled, they took
away their trunks, and a bundle which Mary Saun-
ders had brought to the house, containing her clothes.
It was supposed, of course, that the servant girl was
provided for somewhere, but, on the evening of the
day her master and mistress depaited she called at
Mr. Owen's house, in tears, and said that her master
had taken her to a distant part of the town, on her
way to which she saw " Parliament-street " on a
board at the end of a street, and told her to
wait for him in a public-house for four minutes, but
never returned. She knew nothing of London, and
not being possessed of a farthing's worth of property
except the clothes on her back, the landlord boarded
and lodged her, or she must have been reduced to
dreadful misery. At last it occurred to him that the
chief magistrate might suggest some plan by which
service might be rendered to her.
Alderman GIBBS—And they deliberately took away
the girl's bundle as well as their own property? Mr.
Owen—They took away everything.
Alderman Grsns—lt is a very extraordinary story,
indeed. What might have been the value of the
bundle ?
Mary Saunders said she did not exactly know; but
it contained all the goods she had in the world, two
gowns, two shifts, three pairs of stockings, and some
other little necessary articles of apparel.
Alderman GIBBS—What was your master ? Mary
Saunders—He was a copperplate printer, at Leeds,
and worked for a master. I lived with my master
and mistress four months.
Alderman GIBBS—And you cannot form any
opinion of the manner in which they have disposed of
themselves ? Mary Saunders—Not at all, my Lord.
My master told me mistress was gone to buy apples for
the two children, and when he took me to the public-
house he said he would be back immediately, and
then I waited and waited till near four o'clock.
Alderman GIBBS—How did you find your way to
Mr. Owen's house ?
Mary Saunders—l asked a policeman the way to
the Custom- house, and when I got there I easily
found Mr. Owen.
Mr. Owen—The only opinion I can form is, that
the master and mistress of the poor girl brought her
to town merely to have the benefit of her attendance
upon their children, and determined to get rid of her
as soon and as effectually as they could after their
arrival. I have been imposed upon more than once
by the representations of persons who have landed
from steamers, but the poor girl has nothing at all
about her to justify the suspicion that she is an im
postor.

- Alderman Gms—You have acted with kindness,
which has probably saved the poor girl from ruin.
Be so good as to take care of her till Friday, when
we shall learn more about her.

Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) then wrote to the
former mistress of the young woman.

BOlk-SfREET.
William Stevens, John Wyatt, and James Long,
were brought up before Mr. Jardine, charged with
having committed a burglary in the house of Mr.
Nicholas Walker, landlord of the Barley Moir, 111,
Drury-lane, yesterday morning.
Police-constable West, 106 F, stated that he was
on duty yesterday morning in Drury-lane at about
three o'clock, when he saw the prisoners standing
round the prosecutor's house. He went round his
beat, and on his return he saw the prisoners again.
Stevens was standing on the top of the wall. He
took them to the station-house. Ten shillings and
elevenpence in copper was found upon Stevens. He
had also four half-crowns and ten shillings in silver,
and a chisel without a handle. Upon Long was
found the handle of the chisel.
Mr. Walker, the prosecutor, stated that Stevens
bad formerly been in his service as potboy. Witness
was called up by the policeman, and upon examina-
tion he discovered that his premises had been entered,
and he missed a pound's worth of silver, ten half-
crowns, ten shillings, and eleven shillings and ten-
pence in copper.
The prisoners said nothing in their defence, and
they were fully committed to Newgate fur trial for '
burglary.

UN 1 01V-HA LL.
Amelia Moss, alias Smith, and Mary Staunton, were
placed at the bar for re-examination, charged with
stealing an infant belonging to a man named Purdy,
living in Bermondsey.
The circumstances attending the stealing of the
child from its parents and its subsequent restoration,
have already appeared' in our police report.
A woman lodging in the house where Moss con-
veyed the child, stated that when she brought it home,
she said, in accounting for her absence, that as she
was walking along the streets she was attacked with
the pains of labour, and was conveyed to an hospital,
where she was delivered of the infant she then had in
her arms; that she asked witness if the infant was not
very like her husband, and she complained of being
very ill, and having given the child some 4nnisecd,
she then went to bed, and took the infant with her,
While she was asleep, the husband, who is a police-
man, came to the house, and he questioned her as to
the cause of her absenting herself so long from home.
She made the same excuse with respect to her having
been delivered of a child in the hospital, and promised
to take him there the following day to convince him
of the fact. The same night, the witness added' yya

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
DUBLIN, OCT. 21.—The usual weekly meeting of
the Association was held this day in Conciliation
Hall. The chair was taken by Counsellor Mackey.
The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting, con-
fining his observations to the registry, and congratu-
lated the Association on the success which attended
its exertions.
Dr. NAGLE read a letter from Mr. Henry Grattan,
M.P., which accompanied a presentation of 100 copies
of the memoirs of his father, the late Mr. Grattan, to
the Association. The letter went at considerable
lenghth into the policy of establishing repeal reading-
rooms through the country, and dwelt on the benefits
that would unquestionably be derived from them.
The writer contrasted the extensive system of educa-
tion that prevailed in America with that existing in
this country, and then observed, " that it would be
for the Association to follow up the great example
afforded by that country, and forward the establish-
ment of libraries everywhere, and support these read-
ing-rooms throughout the country. With that view
I beg to place at the disposal of the Association 100
copies of the memoirs of the late Mr. Grattan, amount-
ing to 400 octavo volumes. They comprise the most
interesting period of Irish history; they set forth the
proceedings of 1782, and detail the successful efforts
of the glorious and immortal volunteers ; they con-
tain authentic letters of the ablest statesmen in Ire-
land and England, and official documents that never
before appeared. They may serve to raise the cha-
racter of that country which it is now the fashion to
depress, and rescue from oblivion the most glorious
period of her annals, when her people were strong
and generous, but, alas, too credulous and too con-
fiding; they may teach the rising generation to re-
vere the memory of those departed patriots who
struggled so nobly for their liberties; may still
cherish the virtues of her people ; may generate a
race of patriots; and thus convert them into a race of
heroes." The Honourable Gentleman then moved a
vote of thanks to Mr. Grattan for his magnificent
donation, which was seconded by the Hon. Mr. Hut-
chinson, and passed with acclamation.
Mr. 31AURICE O'CONNELL handed in 201. from Wa-
terford, 8/. 18s. 6d. from Glasgow; and then ob-
served, that he had to present the Association with a
proof that the cause of repeal was making considerable
progress amongst their sturdy countrymen, the Pres-
byterians of the north. The Hon. Gentlemen then
handed in several contributions from the north, in-
cluding 291. 10s. from Dungibbon, county of Derry;
and 6/. 16s. from Dungannon ; and moved a marked
vote of thanks to the subscribers.
The Hon. Mr. HUTCHINSON, in seconding the mo-
tion, said, that from the information he had been able
to obtain, he could fully bear out the observations of
Mr. O'Connell with regard to the spread of repeal
principles in the north of Ireland.
Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT (having handed in 71. from
Airdrie, in Scotland), had the disagreeable duty de-
volved upon him of moving " That the names of two
Scotch repeal wardens, who had publicly avowed
themselves ribbonmen, should be struck off the be,:lcs
of the Association." It was on the representation of
their fellow-wardens, that the course was adopted. It
had been said that *Vermeil encouraged ribbonism..
To that calumnious assertion be would reply, that it
was as false as hell,
Mr. M. O'CONNELL seconded the motion ; and then
proceeded to denounce emphatically the ribbon sys-
tem, stigmatising it as injurious to the best interests
of the country. In concluding, he observed, that if
the individuals in question did not retract their senti-
ments, and express a regret for their conduct, be-
fore that day fortnight, he would feel it his duty
to move that their names be publicly exposed on the
walls of the Conciliation-hall.
Captain BRODERICK and the Hon. Mr. HUTCHIN-
SON severally addressed the meeting, and their obser-
vations were warmly received by the meeting.
After some routine business had been disposed of,
Mr..M. O'CosirsELL announced the rent for the week
to be 3911.65.
The meeting then adjourned.
MUNSTER DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL.
A circular has been issued, announcing that Mr.
O'Connell has fixed upon Wednesday, the 20th Nov.,
for the provincial dinner in Limerick. Mr. O'Con-
nell is to arrive in Limerick on that day, on his re-
turn from Darrynane Abbey,
STATE OF TIPPERARY,
At Clonmel Quarter Sessions, on Thursday, Mr.
Sergeant Howley, in addressing the grand jury,
said—" In looking over the calendar, I find that there
are 73 cases of indictments t 3 come before you, in
which 124 persons are charged with different offences.
Certainly, gentlemen, with this calendar before me, I
cannot say anything satisfactory—and there is one
case of highway robbery. Many of these cases have
been attended with force, and I cannot congratulate
you on the state of this division of your county. I am
also sorry to hear that in the other districts the calen-
dars are equally heavy."
THE MATHEW TESTIMONIAL.
The announcement that Father Mathew is in-
volved in pecuniary embarrassments, in consequence
of his sacrifices in promoting the cause of tem-
perance, has 'produced the deepest feelings of sym-
pathy in the public mind, and an effort will at once
be made to raise the subscriptions to the Mathew
Testimonial to an amount somewhat commensurate
with the invaluable services rendered to the Irish
people by the apostle of temperance. Mr. Purcell,
who originated the Mathew Testimonial, and who
has been suffering under a serious and protracted ill-
ness, has recently written a letter from which the
following is an extract :—" My sanguine hope was,
that every one would join with us in some suitable
acknowledgment to Father Mathew for services ren-
dered, and which are now found to be permanent. If
we are disappointed, we can only then call our com-
mittee together, and dispose of the money received in
any way they think proper. Not one-twentieth of the
grand folks who signed the requisition paid a farthing !
The amount at interest in the funds is 1,0001., and
about 400/. in bank, subject to some small deductions
for printing, Bcc."
