lager amount than the estimated liabilities of the Company.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPHINE LAMPS.—The perfection of
these Lamps over the Vesta has been happily attained by the inven-
tion of two parallel flat rings—a larger and a smaller forming a cone
round the margin of the wick, which cause a rapid reverberation of
air against the flame—thus consuming every particle of volatilized
vapour, it is free from smoke or smell, having perfect combustion,
and in full action, emits a light equal to 16 wax candles.

TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS
At a season like this, when the juvenile folks
Are beginning to count on their holiday jokes;
V. hen numberless glad preparations appear
To welcome the season of Christmas with cheer,
E. MOSES and SON feel inclined to impress
The importance of buying their " juvenile dress."
If parents and guardians wish to be suited
With garments whose value was never disputed ;
If they wish for their youths to be glad in a way
Which makes them look comely, engaging, and gay,
Let them purchase at once of E. MOSES and SON
Those suits which such marks of approval have won.
The " juvenile dresses" of MOSES are made
In the newest of fashion, with beautiful braid;
The dresses are formed just to suit tender age,
And therefore your children are sure to engage.
You'll not find them made in an old-fashion'd style,
V. hich often makes persons with ridicule smile;
Their taste and their elegant neatness have won,
Ten thousand approvals for MOSES and SON.
These garments are made in a manner so firm,
That really we'r e quite at a loss for a term.
Your children may join in the juvenile sport,
liut they'll not hurt their garments, so firmly they're wrought.
Then hasten this season, as thousands have done,
For the juvenile clothing of MOSES and SON.

FENCER'S CELEBRATED CHINESE
1. LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The thousands of individuals who have had the pleasure of using
Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye, pronounce it to be the only Dye
extant which will effectually change, in a few minutes, red or grey
hair to a dark brown or black, and it can be proved incontestibly
that it is the safest dye in its use that ever was prepared. Red or
grey hair, whiskers, eyebrows, moustaches, dec., are changed without
trouble, y simply using a comb wetted with the liquid; one applies
tion will produce a pleasing and a permanent change. The colour
it imparts to the hair can never be discovered to have been ef-
fected by dye, it being so perfectly natural, and neither washing, per-
spiration. or anything will in the least lade or affect the colour pro.
H duced. undreds of ladies who wore false hair, because their own

OPINIS OF II PRESS.
I I" We regard the work ONbefore V
us '4 The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a lout o know.
Wemust, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suftr.
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
" The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
falitorecommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

ILLEGAL MARRTAGES.—In consequence of a num-
ber of illegal marriages (on account of the respective
parties not having resided in the parish) having been
solemnised in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol, the
Lord Bishop has given notice to the respective clergy of
his extensive diocese, that no marriage can be legally
solemnised in any church or chapel but that of the parish
or district in which one of the parties reside ; and when
both the parties do not reside in the same parish, his
Lordship will require the banns of marriage to be pub-
lished in the churches belonging to the parishes in which
each party may reside, a certificate of which must be sent
to the officiating minister. The Lord Bishop calls the
attention of his clergy to the Act of Parliament against
clandestine marriages, which enacts that, in order to
protect the minister from fraudulent assertions, he is not
bound to publish even banns unless the persons shall have
resided in the parish at least seven days from the first
publication of the banns, and the clergyman shall cause
to be delivered to him a notice in writing of their true
christian and surnames, and also the places of their re-
spective abodes, and the time they have occupied the
same, in order to afford the officiating minister sufficient
time! to incjure if any! imposition has been attempted
His Lordship expects that the above enactments will be
carried out to the strict letter of the law in every part
of his diocese.—Gloucester Chronicle.

be gratified by the details of a case of the above descrip-
tion at the next assizes. Proceedings have been entered
against a young gentleman who is sometimes seen on
oar Corn Exchange for having alienated the affections

the latter was confined in prison for debt. The gallant,

and he was accordingly discharged from custody.

IRELAND.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

DUBLIN-, DEC. 2.—The usual weekly meeting of the
Repeal Association was held at the Conciliation-hall to-
day. The attendance was, as on all occasions when Mr.
O'Connell is in town, extremely numensas, every part of
the building being crowded to inconveniener.
On the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL, Mr. Pi:trick J.
Somers, M.P. for Sligo, was called to the chair.
Some preliminary business having been disposed of',
Mr. O'CONNELL read a letter which he bad received
from Mr. O'Neill, of Bunowen Castle, ex-J. P., in repll
to Mr. O'Connell's attack on the French nation. '1 he
Hon. and Learned Gentleman expressed a hope that the
Association would allow the letter to appear on their
minutes, though it was addressed to himself. He had
never stated, and he did not believe he was reported to
have stated, that all France was immoral and irreligious;
but he could not go as far as his friend Mr. O'Neill in
thinking that France, at the present day, was religious
and moral. There was a very powerful party in that
country who, not content with being irreligious them-
selves, were violently opposed to all who were religiously
disposed. The Government of France was irreligious, and
the principle upon which that Government acted was
irreligious. They were now introducing laws pre-
venting the religious education of the people—the
only education that was worth having—the education
that cultivated the moral judgment of the minds of
youth, and taught them their proper duty towards man,
and the necessity of worshipping God with fidelity, and
in a true spirit. There were in France both Catholics
and Protestants of high religious principles, and he did
pot of course mean to apply his remarks to them. For
instance, there was the Count de Montalembert, whom
he was proud to call his personal friend, and who was as
sincere and zealous a Catholic as was in existence. That
nobleman had made a great battle in favour of the
French bishops, and he was proud to add, that all the
bishops of the couutry were standing firmly together in
&velur of religious education. He knew the many fine
qualities that were to be found among Frenchmen as
prominently as among any people on the face of the
earth, and he should be basely ungrateful if he did not
recollect the generous hospitality that they had extended
towards Irishmen in the ages of persecution. At the
beginning of the French Revolution he had himself no
less than fifty-two cousins, all within the third degree of
relationship to him, holding commissions in the French
army, at a time when they could hold no commission in
the British service. Three of these afterwards rose to
the rank of generals, and one of them, who was his own
uncle, held the rank of Inspector-General of the
French infantry. He had the honour of getting
from the King the command of a German regiment
called Salem Salem ; and though they were but an un-
disciplined mob when they came under him, they were
afterwards one of the finest regiments in the service. He
had the singular good fortune to receive at the same time
full pay as a French general, and as a colonel in the
British service.—(Cheers.) He was, then, grateful to
the French people. He admired the Christian zeal of
the religious portion of them. He admired the many
virtues which they possessed in so eminent a degree. At
the same time he hated French infidelity, and he deeply
regretted the extent to which it existed in that country.
The Constitutiannel had hired Eugene Sue to write all
sorts of calumnies against the French clergy, and the
National was following in the same track.
The motion for the insertion of the letter on the mi-
nutes was carried unanimously.
After some further proceedings,
Mr. O'CosneEee rose to proceed with the principal
business of the day, and was received with loud cheers.
—He said he would commence by a preliminary re-
mark, that the repeal dictionary which was in the
course of publication in the newspapers, and from
which he would be obliged to quote largely during his
address, was, he was authorised to state, the work of
his son John, the Member for Kilkenny.—(Cheers.)
It was the second work that ho had latterly given to
the cause of Ireland, and would be shortly published
in a collected form. He would then proceed with
his speech, and he begged to premise that he would be
under the necessity of trespassing upon their time to
a much greater extent than many of them would wish,
or than he would himself desire. He rose to say many
words, and the first of them would refer to the principle
of their future action. They were beginning to work
again for the repeal with renewed force. He had made
a pause, waiting to see if ho would get additional force,
but it had gone for nothing, and ho would now proceed
without it, with an agitation which would never termi-
nate until they had a Parliament on College-green.—
' (Cheers.) It was, therefore, necessary that they should
understand the principle of their action, and that prin-
ciple was the doctrine which, throughout his entire po-
litical career, he had ever preached and practised,
namely, that no amelioration of any human institutions
—no improvement in the law, even to the repeal of the
anion itself, with all its concomitant blessings, could or
ought to be acquired by forca or crime, and that no po-
litical blessing was worth one single drop of human blood.
He was the apostle of that moral combination, and
bis principle was that that moral combination when free
from crime and stain, was abundantly sufficient to
procure all human ameliorations. That was the prin-
ciple on which the repealers acted—no crime against the
laws of man, no injury to any human being, and above
all, no sin against the laws of God.—(Hear, and cheers.)
He had no occasion to refer to this profession of faith,
with which they were all familiar, but the repetition
would remind them again of it, and would inform their
enemies of what they were still ignorant.—(Hear, hear.)
He had, then, made a pause to try if the federalists
would jobs them, but he had been totally disap-
pointed. They had, he might add, without allud-
ing to any person in particular, betrayed them,
and he was bound to say that he now expected nothing
from them. The federalists were Irishmen, but they
had a preference for somebody else; they did not think
that Irishmen ought to govern for themselves. They
were good-natured people, but the love of fatherland did
not burn brightly in their bosoms, and he could not en-
dure any Irishman who did not prefer Ireland to every
country in the world. He had no national antipathies,
but he had a national preference, and that was in favour
of Ireland and the Irish. Some of those federalists would
from time to time fall in to the Association, but they
were at present kept away by Whig predilections. The
federalists should not deceive themselves, and if they
hereafter make any motion, he could tell them—unless
they came forward at once—that they would speak too
late. An old woman in Kerry had a grandson who was
a lunatic. He had a passion for sucking eggs, and his
old grandmother was always obliged to watch her clutches
from him. One day that she went out he got to a nest
where a hen was hatching and commenced swallowing
the eggs. A chicken in one of them screamed as it was
going down his throat, when he cried out, " Ah ! you
spoke too late." In the same manner, if the federalist
chickens speak hereafter they would tell them that
they spoke too late, that their day was gone by, and
that the people would not swallow them at all.—(Hear,
hear, and cheers.) As for Mr. Sharman Crawford's
plan of federalism, all he would say of it was that
he respected the boldness and manliness with which
its author had come forward, but that it did not contain
a single sentence or proposition that he could adopt.—
(Hear, hear.) It was a sober, dull piece of plodding,
having neither right nor left, neither beginning nor end,
hnd they would leave it, like an unlicked cub, never to
be formed into any shape whatever. They had then
done with federalism ; and he wished in the next place
to take notice of a portion of the British press that he
thought was anxious to speak the truth. He alluded to
the Patriot, the organ of the English Dissenters. The
editor of that paper stated in a late number that he was
looking for repeal, not with the hope or intention of get-
ting it, but to coerce England to do justice to Ireland.
That was an honest man, but he had formed a most mis-
taken opinion of him (Mr. O'Connell). He wished him
to understand that there was nothing equivocal in his
conduct in looking for the repeal, and that England
could offer him nothing short of repeal that he would
accept of.—(Loud cheers.) Four years ago, when he
formed the Precursor Association, he stated his willing-
ness never to look for repeal if England did full justice
to Ireland, as she was pledged to do ; but perhaps he
would not have been very ready to make that
offer if he expected it would have been accepted. If
England had then adopted his proposition, neither he
nor the Irish people would have gone back from their
agreement, but that time was passed, and nothing
but the repeal of the union would satisfy him or the
Irish people.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He next
came to another London newspaper, the Examiner,
in the last number of which there was an article, of
course, abusing him, and headed with the words
" Richard is himself again." That was a kind of walk-
ing falsehood of the Examiner, for it distinctly admitted
that he made no proposition for federalism that was not
looking for repeal, and something more than simple re-
peal.—(Hear, hear.) (He then read the extract from
the Examiner, in which his allusion at the Limerick
dinner to his political revenge being " dear as the honey
cup of life" was stigmatised as an infernal sentiment.)
He denied that it was either unchristian or infernal. He
had distinctly stated that he had no personal or indivi-
dual animosity, but that he hated injustice and oppres-
sion ; but as it was English injustice, the Examiner
thought they had a right to leave it. There was a
Whig writer for them.—(Hear, hear.) Some persons
were surprised that they should draw the Whigs into
the category of their contempt, but those people but
little knew how totally the Whigs had lost the confidenceof the Irish people through the scurrility of their
writers. The Examiner man also quarrelled with his
cap. He was obliged, when speaeing in the open air
or in large assemblies, to wear a covering on his head,
and if his cap happened to be a beautifully ornamented
Cine he might thank a dear little daughter of his then
