uie questioned the prisoners on the subject, who each
iiTiberately attempted to commit suicide by cutting their
litt°ats. It appeared that they had once before taken
tnum for the same purpose. The female, who had
Pawned all the articles, was committed for twenty days,
and the man was sent to the infirmary.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Mrs. Jonathan Beckhouse, of Darlingtoa, a member
of the Society of Friends, and a lady well known for her
Christian philanthropy, and her zealous labours in the
cause of religion and humanity, were among the nume-
rous visitors who attended John Tawell after his convic-
tion, to exhort- him to sincere repentance, and to pre-
Pare his mind for the ignominious fate to which he was
doomed.
Early on Tuesday. the church of St. Leonard's was
broken into, and the vault entered, it being supposed by
the ruffians that a lady named Muschets, a native of
Africa, who had been interred on the previous Friday
kerning, had been buried in her costly jewels and rings
-s a custom peculiar to that country. The villains, were,
nnwever, disappointed, and they then emptied the con-
tents of a bottle of the communion wine, and ransacked
the national school boxes, which contained only a few
Shillings. A pickaxe and a crowbar were found in the
!atilt, and the lid of the coffin was removed. The fel-
lOn's committed the must disgusting acts. Service was
intended to have been performed, but the circumstance
caused such excitement, that it was not proceeded with.
The town-council of Edinburgh resolved on Tuesday
last, by 16 to 9, to petition Parliament against " any
grant of public money to Maynooth, or any other re-
ligious establishment or institution whatever ;" the pe-
tition to be intrusted to Mr. Macaulay. The Lord Peo•
least differed, because the grant would promote the tran-
quillity of Ireland.

about to be repaired and restored, scaffolding having been
erected around it for that purpose.
At the early part of the present month a grey pony.
the property of Mr. Robinson, greengrocer, of Windsor,
near Manchester, died at the extraordinary age of fifty
Years and eight months, it having been foaled in July,
1794.
On Friday morning the body of a young man was dis-
covered floating in the river Thames, off the Folly-house,
near Blackwall stairs. It was conveyed to the Bone-
house, Poplar, where it was soon afterwards discovered
to be another of the sons of Mr. Byford, of Barking,
soho, with two other brothers and a man named William
Day (whose body was found on Thursday last) were
uerowned by the upsetting of a fishing smack, in a gust
wind, on the night of the sth of February last. It is
a singular coincidence that these two bodies, which have
been so long missing, should have risen within one day
of each other, and have been found at the short distance
of 200 yards only apart. The second son of Mr. 13yford
is still missing.
On Wednesday afternoon last, between four and five
&clock, as a gentleman was passing from the Surrey-
-11,i115 along the western wall of the Nuahead Cemetery,
ne discovered a man lying in the cemetery, under a pile
of iron railings. Having called to him, and receiving no
answor,Mr.Buckstene, the superintendent of the ground,
was informed of the circumstance, and who immediately
hastened to the spot. He there found that a young man,
named John Bowers, a stone-mason, was under the iron
Work, and to all appearance a corpse. A number of the
grave-diggers were instantly summoned together, and the
rails having been removed, the deceased was extricated,
and taken to the Nun's Tavern, Peckham. Drs. Lodge
and Bloomfield were quick in attending, but not in time
to be of any assistance, as the vital spark bad flown. The
unfortunate deceased, it appears, had been set to work
°Y Mr. Buckstone, a short time previous, in cutting the
rails out of the coping, and it is euppased that, to hasten
his work, he shook the rails, and the whole fell forward
and broke his neck.

.SECOND .4 RIE S' COURT, March 28.
(ilefore 11r. SA:ondary Ja2tes.)
• 131-LT-i'SI.I4Y V. 'LINDSAY.
plaintlf to the action is Mr. Betteley, a retired
tradeenan, living. at Waltham• cross, and the defendant,
mr. Lindsay, is a currier, residing at Llinjton. The
action was institueal to recover damages, for injury done
to a hause acid foundry situated in Angel-elley, Skin-
ner-Etat!! the property was
_hall by the plaintiff under
a lease. The cualtunAan.-ies whleli led to the present
proceedinre, detailed ia. the evidence, are to the fol-
lowing t.ffect :—The peemises were let in February,
1814, ti an i..on-founder. named Hugh Morris, under an
Rea-cement M,rri; held the pretnises till the following
November, when the tention of the plaintiff was called
to a quantity of materials that were in the course of
being removed from the property. An investiga-
tion took place, when it was discovered that
a great quantity of paving flags, oak beams
and sleepers, iron pillars, and other materials had
been removed, at the instance of two parties, Messrs.
Lewis and Lindsay, who seemed to be acting under the
connivance of the tenant Morris. Legal process was
immediately gone into, and an injunction was obtained
against Morris, his agents and servants, to deter them
from further damaging the property. Morris, at this
juncture, got out of the way, and Messrs. Lewis and
Lindsay proceeded with the work of dilapidation without
paying any heed to the injunction. Proceedings were
next taken out against those parties for a breach of the
injunction, aad Lewis was committed to the Court of
Queen's Bench for ten days. No further injury was
done to the premises. The materials which had been
removed were sold by private contract to Mr. Lewis
England, a builder, they having been first advertised
for sale by public auction, which sale was stopped
by the plaintiffs solicitors. The question that
now arose was, who should make good the damage
done? Morris was out of the way, Lewis was a
man of straw, rather noted for exploits of this kind ;
the only party, therefore, left was Mr. Lindsay, who is a
man of some property. The present action was insti-
tuted to recover the damages, which were laid at
3181. 16s. 9d. The defendant had allowed judgment to
go by default, and the point the jury had now to decide
was the amount the damages should be assessed at.
Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared for the plaintiff, called
a number of witnesses in support of the facts here set
forth.
The defendant, who conducted his oivn case in per-
son, entered into a statement that he had bought the pro-
perty from Sir Edward Bate, under the impression that
it had belonged to a lunatic, and- that the gentle-
man named had • full power to dispose of it.
The defendant further said that he had advanced a sum
of money under that impression ; that the transaction
was a ibona Me one ; and that the reason why the
materials had been removed was in order to make some
improvements in the premises. He was about to call
witnesses in support of this statement, when the Learned
Secondary degided it had nothing to do with the real
Taestion, as the defendant, by allowing judgment to go
by default, had admitted the right of the plaintiff to
bring the action.
A- witness was then examined, on .behalf of the
defendant, to show that the damages had been over-
estimated.
The jury, however, returned a verdict for the full
amount-3181. 16s. 9d.

THE REV. MR. MONCKTON.
THE DIOCESAN COURT OF INQUIRY.
Mr. Warren commenced his address on behalf of Mr
Monckton, whom he stated to 1)2 one of the most perse
cuted men ever brought before a court of justice and the
public. The Conv»iFsionerfr,7. had observed the demeanour
of Mr. Monekton during this painful inquiry, and they
must be sensible that nothing could have sustained him
but a conviction of his entire innocence. Everything
was at stake—his character as a clergyman and a gen-
tleman, and, above all, the interests of that church of
which he was a humble, but not an unworthy, member.
He (Mr. Warren) could not only vindicate the character
of Mr. Monckton, but demonstrate that every one of the
charges against him was the result'of one of the most
cruel ani wicked conspiracies ever brought before an
ecclesiastical or a criminal court of justice. He should
show how that his failings (if the Cowmissioners thought
him guilty of any), all which " leaned to virtue's side,"
had been maliciously distorted. Mr. Monckton was the
third surviving son of the late Lord Viscount Galway.
He had several ' brothers and sisters living. His
father died in 1831 ; a few years ago his surviving
parent, the Dowager Lady Galway, sustained the loss of
two sons, one assassinated abroad and another drowned,
and she was condemned to witness what her husband
had been spared,—a wicked attempt to degrade this son,
from the effects of which his character might never en-
tirely recover. Mr. Monckton, knowing himself inno-
cent, had met the charges with fortitude and dignity.
From the moment he (Mr. Warren) had been concerned
in his defence, he never heard from his.advisers, or from
Mr. Monckton; one single wavering expression; from
the first he ha 1 consistently and indignantly denied
the monstrous charges made against him. The charges
were, that he had been guilty of the foul crime of forni-
cation, of taking improper liberties with his domestic
servants, and of intoxication, and that he had " other-
wise misconducted himself." It had been represented in
one of the papers that there had been some remissness
on the part of the Bishop of London with reference to
this matter; but there was no ground for this observa-
tion. As soon as the Bishop had any definite or tangi-
ble charge to deal with, ha immediately gave notice to
Mr. Monckton of this proceeding, and required him to
appear before a Commission. The letter of the Bishop,
which was exceedingly kind and courteous,- was as
follows:

"ready to promote the reform of all proved abuses," it
declares its wish to uphold the necessary connexion Of
Church and State, the just prerogatives of the Monarch,
the privilege.: of the House of Lords, and the delibera-
tive powers of the House of Commons. Such are the
safe and unquestionable objects for which the registra-
tion courts are again to be made the field of battle. The
connexion of Church and State, as fir as it is neces-
sary, and the prerogatives of the Crown, as far as they
are just ! Who will not join to advance these two ob-
jects? Sir Robert himself will swear to them. And as
for the " privileges" of the Lords, and the " delibera-
tive powers" of the Commons, we tally safely let these
alone for taking care of themselves. Such is the shadow
to which our Ministers have reduced the bodies which
I brought them into office.— Times.

PARISH OF ST. CLEIIENT DANES.
Yesterday afternoon a numerous vestry meeting of
the parishioners of St. Clement Danes, was held at the
vestry room, facing the church, to proceed with the elec-
tion of churchwardens, over.eers, &c , and to audit the
accounts of the churchwardens for
de
the past year. The
Rev. W. W. Ellis, the rector, presid.
The VESTRY-CLERK read the accounts, from which
there appeared among the assets that the receipts were
1101. 7s. 10d. fur burial fees, 2001. from pew rents, and
901/. 3s. 2d. from a church-rate of 3d. in the pound, &e.,
the total receipts being 1,490/. 2s. 61. There was a de-
ficiency of 82/. 18s. Id. for the church-rate, the names of
the numerous defaulters being laid before the vestry.
Among the items of expenditure were 20/. 3s. for ring-
ing the bells, 240/. expenses for a new plan of warming
the church, 6301. 14s. 7d. tradesmen's bills, &c., making
the total expenditure 1,4311. 16s. Bd., leaving a balance
in favour of the churchwardens of 721 Ils Bd.
Mr. CULL, the retiring churchwarden, said, in answer
to a question, that the chimes of the church (which had
now been removed about two years) were in the course
of being put up.
Mr. lIIJGGETT inquired how many persons had been
buried in the parish?
Mr. TACRETT replied, that there had been 149 full
fees and 80 half fees, making altogether 229 funerals.
Mr. IIIiGGETT observed, he was glad to find that so
few funerals had taken place in a parish situated almost
in the centre of the metropolis, and that a complaint
could not be made against them similar to what some
other parishes were charged with.—(Hear.) He hoped
the parochial authorities would consider of the pro-
priety of co-operating with the views. of those who pro-
pose to dispense with interment of the dead in towns.
The accounts being received avid allowed, a vote of
thanks was agreed to unanimously to Mr. Cull, and the
accounts were ordered to be printed.
Mr. CULL having acknowledged the honour in a few
,words,
The Vestry-Ulerk produced a letter he had received
in answer -to a resolution of the previous vestry, ex-
pressing the condolence of the parishioners upon the
death of Mr. Collier, who, for forty years, was vestry-
clerk of the parish.
The letter was ordered to he entered on the minutes.
-Mr. W. Wilkins and Mr. Judkini were then unani
mously, on a show of hands, elected churchwardens; the
fernier fur the parish, and the latter fur the Duchy of
Lanelso r.
A complaint was made by a parishioner living in
Wych-street, of the existence of a house of ill-fame in
front of his residence, and it was stated that latterly
houses of the same description had increased.
Several parishioners stated that the parish had been at
a great expense in the indictment of the keepers of them,
and that if compelled to give up their pi emises they soon
took others.
The CHAIRMAN remarked that he would willingly
contribute to remove the nuisance. He knew many
benevolent ladies were prevented from visiting the
abodes of the poor in consequence of the scenes of im-
morality which they were under the necessity of seeing.
Mr. EADY said that they ought to make application to
Parliament for more enlarged powers to put down these
receptacles.
The conversation here dropped; when thanks being
voted to the Rev. Chairman, the meeting broke up.

BURIAL OF DISSENTERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—To the remarks in your leafing article, respect-
ing my refusal to bury the body of a socinian, with the
use of the burial service of the Church, I do not wish to
offa any reply except these few remarks.
I have never refused the burial service to any Dis-
senter in my parish until in this case of an avowed So-

cinian.
I have even performed, within these last six weeks,
that service over the corpse of a Dissenter of a most re-
spectable family in my parish, who died in London, and
to whom I could, of course, have legally refused the
rites of the Church.
At the same time I feel the exceeding impropriety of
the use of that service for any but the members of the
Church.
I granted burial to the daughter of this same Haines,
who died, under circumstances very different from what
you imagine, in the union workhouse, a year ago. I
was not compelled to permit her burial, having died
without the boundary of my parochial district. I did
not take the fee to which I am entitled for such inter-
ment.
I have warned Haines repeatedly of the wide and es•
sential differences between the Soca:ion creed and that
of the Church, and have received the strongest testi-
mony to show that Haines, as well as the few poor who
attend the Sociniau meeting, are actuated by wordly, and
not conscientious motives, and to this fact I refer in my

DINNER. TO MR. O'CONNELL AT KILKENNY.
KILKENNY, MARCH 25.
The Hon. Gentleman left Dublin yesterday, accom-
panied by Messrs. John O'Connell, M.P., W. S. O'Brien,
M.P., R. D. Browne, M.P. Richard Barrett, -Rev..
T. Tierney, T. Ray, E. Clements, &c., and
arrived at Castlecomer at au early hour last
evening, where he and his friends remained for the
night, at the house of the Rev. Mr. Butler, parish priest.
Mr. T. Steele joined the party in the course of the
evening, having posted across the country from Tippe-
rary, in order to be present at the proceedings of tor
day. -At ten o'clock this :morning a vast number cf
persons started from Kilkenny for Castlecemer, preceded
by the members of the town-council in open carriages,
dressed in their robes, and attended by several tempe-
rance bands. Upon their arrival in Castlecomer the mem-
bers of the Corporation immediately waited on Mr. •
O'Connell, end proceeded with him and his friends to hear
Mess. From an early hour of the morning the town
was crowded to excess with the country people, who
loudly cheered the party in its progress to and from the
place of worship. Upon their return from hearing
mass, the procession to Kilkenny was formed, and soon
after one o'clock it began 'to move towards its destina-
tion, headed by the trades of that town, and many of
the members of the corporation.
The proceedings of the day were conducted in a similar
manner with those of most of the .‘ monster" meetings of
the year before last, but were on a smaller. scale. Instead of
a muster of some hundreds of thousands, as at those meet-
ings, there were probably some 30,000 of the peasantry
present on this occasion, mingled with large bodies of
tradesmen, preceded by haotere and band, of music,
and all attemoting a military regularity in their march
and bearing. then came a large cavalcade of equestrians
and finally some hundreds of overloaded vehicles of
every kind, from the smart jaunting car of the shop-
keeper to the rough cart of the cottier. The sides of the
road along which this multitude passed were lined with
the aged and feeble of either sex, and with children, all
loudly invoking blessings on their " beloved leaders," as
they came within view.
The *cession reached Kilkenny about five o'clock,
and occupied something more than half an hour in
passing through the town. Mrs-O'Connell immediately
proceeded to the residence of Mr. Smithwick, an exten-
sive merchant, whose guest he is to be during
.his stay
here.
The entertainment to which Mr. O'Connell and his
friends were invited, took place in the new Roman Ca-
tholic Chapel of Kilkenny, the shell of which is just
completed. Tables, to accommodate 600 persons, were
laid in the interior, which was fitted up with a canvass
awning, and lighted with gas. The walls were hung
around with banners, bearing inscriptions either compli-
mentary to Mr. O'Connell and the other " Repeal mar-
tyrs," or having reference to incidents connected with the
Repeal movement.
Soon after six o'clock Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by
Mr. J. O'Connell, Mr. O'Brien, and the other gentlemen
who came with him from Dublin, entered the dinner-
' hall, and were received with loud cheering. They all
wore the costume of the newly-fledged 'B2 club—a mili-
tary uniform of green and gold, resen.bling that used by
the French commissaries of police.
Dr. Cane, the Mayor, who acted as Chairman, was at-
tired in a similar manner.
The cloth having been drawn,
The Secretary read a number of letters from Roman
Catholic Bishops and others, expressing regret
.at-not
being able to attend the dinner.
The CHAIRMAN having given the customary loyal
toasts, proposed, amid loud cheering, " O'Connell, inng
life and repeal."
Mr. O'CONNELL said, that he had enjoyed many a
delightful hour in breaking the chains twined round his
countrymen, but he had never sp nt a day so happily as
the present. He assured the men of Kilkenny that his
spirit walked abroad disenthrtilled and free.—(Cheers.)
He had seen and heard them that clay, and their
enemies should hear them too, for the shout they had
raised that day, would echo from ono end of the Bri-
tish dominions to the other. Kilkenny had begun the
repeal agitation in 1842, she had taken the lead in
1843 also, and she had commenced the agitation of
1845 by the magnificent procession of that day, and the
splendid banquet of that night. And yet lie yeas told
that the agitation for repeal was subsiding.--(Cries of
" N:a") How dare they say "No ?" Had not the
present Ministry told then'', through the Queen, into
whose mouth they had put the words, that the repeal
agitation was on the decline ? voice, " They were
dreaming.") No I they were not dreaming. They were
wide awake, but they were lying.—(Loud cheers and
laughter.) He. told theta that 50,000 voices had pro.
claimed that day that the agitation for repeal was only
beginning. They had done nothing yet; all their work
lay before them—and they were there ready to do it.—
(" Hear," and cheers.) lie was delighted to have had
an opportunity of coming there, in Q: der to show the
Ministry how untrue yeas the assertion they had put into
the mouth of the Queen—to show that they had physical
force as well as mental energy; and that if they did not
hold monster meetings, tlieennefrained, because it was
unnecessary to do se.—(Hear,- hear.) After stating
several reasons for being dissatisfied with the manner in
which England governed Ireland, the lion. Gentleman
went on to say that he had come amongst them to begin
a new campaign with the same face as ever, but in a
new dress.—(Laughter, and cheers for '82.) He came
there to talk, amongst other things, of the club of 'B2.
When a man of his age ventured to wear such a dress,
it was not unlikely that younger men would soon be
generally clothed in it. Forlile part, he wanted to see
500 of the young blood of Ireland attired in the same
costume, and he would leave it to the jury of ladies pre-
s( nt to say whether it would become them or not.—
(Laughter.) And out of that club of 500 he expected to
be able to select a Conservative senate of 300 gentlemen
to act as mediators between the Repealers and their op-
ponents. Having praised Mr. W. Smith O'Brien for the
zeal exhibited by- him in the cause of Repeal, he vented
some hearty abuse on the Whigs, whom he denounced as
the most worthless party that ever existed. He promised
them from that spot that henceforth no pseudo Liberal
should get a seat in Parliament for any Irish county
unless he declared for Repeal. They were beginning a
new era ; they weredetermined to make Repeal members
active an sincere, and quasi Liberals—Repealers. He
warned every Irish representative that the sound of Li-
beralism would no longer suffice, and that for the future the
only Liberalism in Ireland should be Irish nationality.
They would have none but genuine Repealers, and those
who were not so, should " cut" or turn their coats.--,
(Cheers and laughter.) Having detailed some of the
incidents of the state trial, which lie denounced as a
crime of time greatest magnitude, equalled only by the
alleged massacre of certain Wexford women by the sol-
diery of Cromwell, he complained that the prosecution
had been suffered to pass by without any manifestation
of sympathy from England for the wrong inflicted by the
mockery of a trial to a hich they had been subjected ;
and concluded with a glowing description of the natural
advantages of the country, and an earnest appeal to all
to join him in his struggle to obtain for them their un-
questionable right—the privilege of legislating for them-
selves in a domestic Parliament.
The CHAIRMAN proposed the " Hsalth of Mr. John
O'Connell, M.P., and the ether Repeal Martyrs."—
(Loud cheers.)
Mr. J. O'CONNELL returned thanks, and said that if
he had pleased the men of Kilkenny as their representa-
tive, he had been enabled to do so only by following in
the footsteps of his father.—(Cheers.)
Mr. T. Steele and Mr. Barrett severally returned
thanks.
The Rev. Mr. TIERNEY, parish priest, next spoke to
the toast, and said, that the imprisonment of O'Connell
had created a deep feeling of hatred in the Irish mind—
an undying thirst of vengeance. It was an insult offered
to a whole people in the person of their chieftain and
liberator—an insult never to be effaced.—(Llear, hear.)
Although his enemies did not redden the scaffold with
his blood, yet they thought that a twelvemonth's impri-
sonment would proVe his martyrdom.—(llear, hear.)
But the hand of Providence had protected him from
their fell design.—(Cheers.) Let them recollect that
Jezabel decorated herself with her choicest jewels when
she showed herself at the windows of her palace, but
that next morning she was thrown into the street, and
her flesh became as filth upon the cardi. Ile trusted
that the fate of that wretched being might prove a salu-
tary warning to her followers in blood and infamy.—
(Loud cheers, and cries of " Amen.")
The next toast was the " Repeal hierarchy and
clergy," which was spoken to by the Rev. Mr. O'KEEFE.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed the "'B2 Club and
Smith O'Brien, M.P."
in returning thanks, said that the
'B2MCr4uSb's(e)a'stlaesitEiiNblislied in order to give to a number of
gentlemen who were anxions to serve Ireland an oppor-
tunity of meeting in social intercourse and making
efforts to naeiona,lise the country.—(Hear, hear.) Eng-
land was doing her best to provincialise Ireland, and
they wished to counteract the design. It had been sug •
geeted that the
,dress of the chit was somewhat military
in its character,' and, for his part, be wire not sorry that
the Government regarded the dress its reqUiiing nothing
but the sword to enable its wearers to act as the officers
