BEXLEY AND CRAYYORD SOCIETY YON THE PRO-
MOTION or USEFUL IC.NowumoY.—On Tuesday evening
last a lecture was delivered to • the ,members and friends of
this society, at the Infant's National School-roam, Bexley-
heath, by Mr. Charles Mackie, On the Five Senses." The
subjects were treated of in a most interesting manner, and
afforded much instruction and the higkest satisfaction to a
numerous and highly-respectable•audieike. At the conclu-
sion of the lecture the Rev. A. C. Langdale moved a vote of
thanks to the lecturer, and also to Mr. Henry Davids, the
respected secretary to the society, which were severally and
unanimously responded to. Mr. Mackie then said, that in
consequence of the very flattering reception he had met with
from the officers of the institution, he should be most happy
to deliver a lecture gratuitously to the members of the
society at such time as would suit their convenience. The
announcement was received with much approbation. A
lecture will be delivered early in Jatuary by the Rev. A. C.
Langdale, on electricity.—Kentish Independent.

A CAPITAL SPEC.-A great deal of money might
be made by taking extensive premises in the City as soup-
rooms, and
Ainch of selling nothing but the Norfolk Soup. at two-
pence a basin.Pcurry costs about a farthing, and
as hot water may be had for almost nothing, the profit on
every basin of Norfolk Soup would be at least 150 per cent.
This seems a more promising undertaking just now than even
the Railway.—Punch.

In moving the insertion of the-letter on the minutes, he
observed that the sentiments it contained were those
which would pervade, the mind of every rational re-
pealer, had Lord John Russell been so fortunate as to
be able to form a Government. He then read a report
of his mission to Waterford, for the purpose of recon-
ciling the differences which existed amongst the re•
pealers in that town ; and stated that his success had
been unrestricted, unlimit, d, and complete. In future
no person would have any chance of representing the
constituency of Waterford but a real " t lonciliation-hall"
repealer; and es a proof of their devotion to nationality,
they had that dayforwarded the sum of 40Z to the funds
of the Association.' -Sjr Winston Barron and Mr. Wyse
should yield at the next election to the better claims of
Sir Benjamin Morris Wall and Mr. Meagher, unflinch-
ing advocates-of domestic legislation. In conclusion, he
read a letter. from Dr. M•Hale, Archbishop of 'Nam,
which abounded, as usual, with abuse, and denounced
the Bequests Act and the infidel Colleges Act.
There was not (continued Mr. O'Connell) a sentiment in
that letter which would not be echoed by every Irish-
man. They were for Ireland, no matter what party was
in power—no . matter what section of statesmen was in
office—they were for Ireland.—(Cheers.)
Mr. J. O'CONNELL read the following letter from the
lion. Pierce Butler, M.P.:—

" Imperial Hotel, Sackville-street, Dec. 21, 1845.
"My dear O'Connell,—l inclose you my renewed sub-
scription to the Loyal Nation Repeal Association. I had
hoped it would have been in my power to have attended
y,,ur meeting to-morrow ; but letters from the country
domand my immediate presence in the county of Kil-
kenny. I regret much, and I know you will join me in
that regret, that the number of misguided wretches
ready at a moment's warning, and for a small bribe, to
take the lives of their fellow-countrymen, is increasing.
If the Government be not strong enough, or wise enough,
to prevent this mischief, and this stain upon Ireland, I
think the Association should at once take the business in
hand, and put down such a disgraceful system of oppres-
sion. The Roman Catholic clergy are doing their duty,
by denouncing the murders ; but they stand in need of
the vigorous and prompt co-operation of a firm Govern-
ment, or of the Association.

" This is a painful subject, but it is one that demands
immediate attention.

"If Lord John Russell succeed in forming an Admi-
nistration, I trust that Ireland will show firmness, pru-
dence, and generosity, without any compromise of her
avowed principles. Lord John Russell must restore the
magistrates, Orangemen and repeaters. He must give
a powerful but judicious support to our railway specula-
tions in Ireland, so as thoroughly to employ our labour-
ing population. He must impose a tax, a reasonable
tax, upon the absentees, for charitable purposes in Ire-
land. In fine, he must make Ireland what she ought to
be. As for the late Ministry, I have no feelings but
those of contempt and indignation, whefi I think of their
incalculable follies in regard to Ireland.
" They remind me of the well-known lines of the
ancient dramatist,' in reference to the uninformed and
aboriginal inhabitants of this terrestrial globe :
' They saw, indeed, and heard. But what to them availed
Or sight, or sense, or hearing? all things rolling,
Like the unreal imagery of dreams, in wild confusion
tossed.'
" With best wishes to your father, whose health I am
happy to hear is as firm as ever, believe me, my dear
O'Connell, very faithfully yours,
" PIERCE SOMERSET BUTLER.
" John O'Connell, Esq., M P."
Having moved the insertion of the letter on the minutes,
he observed that it was horrible to think of the dreadful
assassinations alluded to in the letter he had just read,
which were of daily occurrence in various parts of the
country. He bad no hesitation in saying that Divine
Providence would continue to afflict the people of this
country and perpetuate their miseries in just punishment
of these atrocious crimes.. It was the duty of that As-
sociation' to cry • out ltgainst the• perpetrators of these
horrible crimes : they had done so frerently ; there
was not, in fact, an eftrne in their s that was not
put in motion to prevent these atrocities, and it was,
therefore, rather unjust in his honourable friend to make
the charges he had preferred against them. On no sub-
ject had the Association exerted itself more than in en-
deavouring to repress crime ; and, if the Hon. Gentle-
man had attended its meetings, he would have seen that
such was the fact. He was sure Mr. Butler had no in-
tention of harking-in with the cry of the magistrates of
Tipperary and Westmeath, who called out for a. Coercion
Act because of the crimes of a few individuals. He
was happy to say these magistrates had received
a very decided slap in the face even from the late
Government, as the gentleman sent down to inquire
into the necessity of special commissions (prayed for in
their memorial), had asserted that there was no such
necessity. It would in his (Mr. O'Connell's) opinion
tend materially to the preservation of the peace if the
dismissed magistrates, in whom the people had such im-
