The subscribers to Art-Unions in Dublin have been thrown
into a state of great commotion by the opinion pronounced
upon their illegality; but console themselves with the idea
that a short 81l will be presented during the session to set
the matter right. Certainly the plan, as a mode of encourag-
ing the arts, has been found very useful in Ireland, where an
adequate stimulus is otherwise much wanting.
The whole of the troops in Ireland will be under arms on
the 25th instant, and will fire three rounds at one o'clock, in
honour of her Majesty's birthday.
The usual monthly meeting of the Incorporated Society
for Promoting the Enlargement, Building, and Repairing of
Churches and Chapels, was held at 4, St. Martin's-place, on
Monday last ; his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury in
the chair. There were also present the Bishops of London,
Chester, Bangor, Carlisle, Hereford, Ely, Ripon, Gloucester
and Bristol, Durham, and Salisbury, Sir R. H. Inglis, Bart,
M.P., the Revs. Dr. Spry, H. H. Norris, J. Jennings, and B.
Harrison. Among other business transacted at the meeting,
grants were voted towards the erection of 13 additional-
churches and chapels.
An, overture, says the Brighton Guardian has been made to
provide at Horsham for the shut-out Solicitor-General, for
this Parliament or Session, on the condition that no opposition
should be offered by the Tories on the next occasion to Mr.
Hurst's return, or the return of hit nominee, should that gen-
tleman not then desire to go into Parliament. What degree of
credit is due to the rumour, or from which party.the overture
proceeded, or how it was received, we cannot undertake to
say; but we.feel it our duty to put the constituents on their
guard by stating it, and this caution seems the more neces-
sary, as the rumour appears to a certain extent to explain
the delay which has taken place in moving for the writ to
fill up the void in the representation.

HIBERNIAN SCHOOL SOClETY.—Yesterday a sale
of ladies' useful and ornamental work, drawings, poor's-
clothes, &c., was held at the Queen's Concert Room,
Hanover-square, on behalf of the I.adies' Hibernian Female
Society. Amongst the, patronesses were—the Duchess of
Beaufort, the Marchiohess of Bath, the Marchioness of Water-
ford, the Marchioness of Thomond, the Marchioness of Aber-
corn, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, the Countess of Gal-
loway, the Countess of Shannor, the Countess of Bandon,
the Countess of Sandwich, the Countess of Pomfret, the
Viscountess Sydney, the Viscountess Canning, the Vis-
countess Hill, the Viscountess Jocelyn, the Lady Louisa
Finch, the Lady Ashley, the Hon. Mrs. Ashley, the Hon.
Mrs. A. Lefroy, the Hon. Mrs. Westby, and the Hon. Miss
Waldegrave. It was stated that, upon the result of the sale
the continuance of many of the Female Hibernian Schools
would depend. At present 207 schools were in connexion
. with the Society, containing upwards of 13,000 scholars, a
great proportion of whom were the children of Roman Catho-
lics. The sale is to be continued this day.
We are bound to notice Mr. Hogg's explicit de-
claration that be never applied to Government, in any way,
direct or indirect, through any channel, for any office what-
ever, excepting with one insignificant and merely routine ex-
ception—viz., his contributing his interest to an application
for a gauger's place. Nothing can be more decisive than
this, and we are glad that our question has elicited from him
so explicit a contradiction. The report did not, however,
originate with ourselves, but was, it will be remembered, men-
timed in di& newksVeis last ottnuner.—Tiniex.
