FOR STOPPING DECAYED TEETH.
MR. THOMAS'S SUCCEDANEUM,
Price 4s. f3d.
Patronised by her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent.
This valuable SUCCEDANEUM for STOPPING DE-
CAYED TEETH, however large the cavity is far superior to
anything ever before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft
state, without any pressure or pain, and in a short time becomes
as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the tooth for
many years, rendering extraction unnecessary. It arrests all
further progress of decay, and renders them again useful in
mastication.

defies detection even by the closest observer. This method
does not require the extraction of any teeth or roots, or any
painful operation whatever. The charges will be found much
less than most Dentists.

<< Ainsworth opens his new tale of St. James's, or the.
Court of Queen Anne, with much animation and directness of
purpose, bringing us at once, and without ceremony, into the
company of some of his leading personages. Mr. Ainsworth
has been singularly fortunate in his choice of subject ; and his
dexterous introduction of the wily adventurer Guiscard will
give him an opportunity, in due course, of exhibiting his admi-
rable descriptive powers to advantage. The dialogue between
Marlborough and his wife, where Abigail is the theme of their
.discourse and the object of their suspicion, is in the author's
most natural and forcible manner, being a correct index to cha-
racter—the greatest recommendation that dialogue can possess.
Charles 011ier's Benighted Traveller' is told so pleasantly,
that it is impossible to read it without interest. Daphne of
Antioch' describes with much minuteness of detail that enchant-
ing and voluptuous spot. In the present chapters of John
Manesty,' the plot begins to clear up a little. Jemmy Scrap'
is a sprightly tale. Long Hours,' by Mrs. S. C. Hall, is
conceived in a kindly spirit. By the tray of wind-up to our
notice, we may state that a charming likeness of the Editor,
from the pencil of Maelise, who has presented him in most pic-
turesque and exalted mood, seated in a high-backed Elizabethan
arm-chair, adds greatly to the value ana attractions of the num•

On Saturday Nem+, January 6, 1844, in the Afternoon, at Four
o'clock, will be published, the First Number of a Weekly
Remembrancer or Record, entitled,

ii,HE PAST, the PRESENT, and the FUTURE.
(A NEW YEAR'S ADDRESS.)
The year has clos'd, with all its changeful scenes—
And, lo! another era intervenes ;
The year has clos'd upon a busy world,
And a fresh page of life has time unfut Pd.
The chiming bells, with intermingling hum,
Proclaim aloud—" Another year is come !"
The year is clos'd, and we embrace the time
To greet the public with a votive rhyme.
For while with exultation we review
" The Past, the Present, and the Future," too,
We feel a debt of gratitude is ow'd
For valued favours plenteously bestow'd.
Unbounded patronage has crown'd our trade,
And warmest thanks will he best duly paid.
Oft on his road the trav'ler glances back,
To mark his progress o'er the beaten trick :
Thus we examine with observant eye
The advances of another vear gone by ;
And glad we find, on looking at the past,
Our glorious hopes have not been overcast.
When last we hail'd the dawn of " New Year's Day,"
We talk'd of patronage in bright display.
And have we now to tell of favours less ?
No !—still we triumph in increas'd success ;
Success in all our trading plans is found,
And like a halo does our name surround.
Success attends us through the distant land,
Nor here alone—but where the seas expand.
Success in east and West, and north and south,
Is loudly sounded with a trumpet's mouth.
Success abundant we have seen appear
Each day, each week, each month throughout the year ;
Favours in seasons " past" our efforts bless,
And the bright " present" yields success ! success !
Think not we use exaggerated terms—
Fact, glorious fact, their utmost truth confirms.
Language less strong could ne'er suffice to show
The vast success that crowns our failed depot.
Nay, strong as are our statements, we confess
They are not equal to our proud success ;
And hence we have a duty to discharge—
A duty called for by the world at large ;
Nor would we for an instant be remiss
In executing such a task as this.
With warm acknowledgements at once we thank
All gen'rous patrons (whatsoe'er their rank).
Thanks, many thanks ! warm, hearty, and sincere,
For mighty favours in the by-gone year,
For patronage by which we are display'd
Upon the topmost pinnacle of trade !
Thanks for the spreading fame which thousands sing,
And all that the returning seasons bring !
Nor will we make return in thanks alone,
For patronage so liberally shown.
When last we heard the New Year's bells resound,
We promised much—nor have we left our ground ;
Each season new exertions have reveal'd
To merit what a lib'ral public yield.
Again we promise, as we promis'd then,
Nor shall our practice contradict our pen,
Though mighty efforts signalised the " past"
The " present' year shall far excel the last,
And " future" seasons to the world shall show
Our gratitude for what your hands bestow. •
Mark what we promise ! We have much in store,
And offer to the pulslic more and more.
Betwixt ourselves and patrons there shall be
A mutual zeal—an equal rivalry !
Reductions and improvements shall be seen,
Far more extensive than have ever been;
Nought shall be left—no stone shall be unturn'd,
Wherein the public good may be concerned.
Our celebrated Mart shall still display
The choicest fashions for the rich and gay ;
While such as move in less important scenes
Shall find good clothing suited to their means.
In ev'ry point our house shall be display'd
'The most astounding mart throughout the trade.
Can we do more than this, our thanks to show,
Or give a greater compensation ? No.
Till this be done, we ne'er shall be at rest ;
But when we've done it, shall have done our best—
And with renewed exertion, such as this,
A smiling public will not be remiss.
We feel assured, that if we try to please
Our gt n'rous patrons with such acts as these,
That proud success will crown us more than ever,
And happily reward for each endeavour;
And still with exultation we shall view
The " past," the " present," and the " future," too !
And now we close with many a wish sincere,
That all may realise " a happy year."
" A happy year" may ev'ry reader see—
Where'er his home—whate'er his lot may be !
" A happy year" alike the young and old !
And when another changeful year has roll'd,
Once more with pleasure well resume our pen,
And make our annual settlement again.

Feeling is disposed to Provide for the most efficient Relief of

" The work before us, though not elaborate in its extent, is
one which, in our opinion, cannot fail to be interesting, not
only to the, student but to the public generally, He who may
unfortunately be labouring under the infirmities here referred
to, will find a panacea for the complained-of evils, and have an
opportunity of reading numerous cases which the talented author
has treated successfully. Having carefully perused the work,
we can strongly recommend it to the notice of our readers,
fully satisfied that Mr. Van Butchell's talents, as here displayed,
will prove a boon to afflicted humanity."—City Chronicle,
Jan. 24, 1843.
" As more than one clergyman whom we knew have received
benefi from the treatment of Mr. Van l3utchell, we gladly
call attention to this work, containing, as it does, accounts of
numerous cases which leave fallen within his practice, and the
perusal of which may be of advantage to others similarly af-
flicted. The work is very clearly and well written, and to be
understood without auy labour."—The Church Intelligencer,

It has been found impossible longer to contend with the
" POST-OFFICE DIRECTORY," a work combining large
capital with unequalled resources of every kind requisite for the
proper production of a Directory of the metropolis. These ad-
vantages place that work on such an elevation, that further
competition with it would be as injurious to Bowtell and Co.,
as it would be unjust to their Subscribers.

After the contest at NVairau, between a party of armed settlers
from Nelson, and a body of the natives, w hieh has been attended
with such a melancholy loss of life, I feel it to be my duty to
lay before you a statement of the results of that contest, and of
the information which I have been able to acquire. Although
I have net at present any authenticated accounts of the number
of persons who have been slain, I am compelled to believe that
it has been very numerous; and there is but too much reason
to apprehend that Mr. Thompson, the police magistrate, and
Captain Wakefield, the company's agent, have fallen. No one
among you can regret more sincerely than myself this fearful
sacrifice of human life, or can feel more deeply the loss which
the settlement has thus sustained; but I should fail in my duty
did I not declare my conviction, after obtaining evidence
from all quarters, that the affray was not the result of
any premeditated design on the part of the natives,
but that on the contrary they sought by every means to
avert it, and did not fire a shot until five of their party
had fallen, including the wife of Rangihaiata, who at
the moment bore his own son in her arms. Upon receiving
the disastrous intelligence, feeling it Ito be of the first im-
portance to obtain authentic information of the intentions of the
natives, I immediately put myself in communication with
those persons who were in a position to furnish accurate re-
ports on the subject, and I have the satisfaction of informing
you that the natives of Waikanae, at which place Ratiparaha
first landed, refused to allow him to remain among them, lost
the friendly relations which had previously subsisted between
then and the English settlers might be destroyed; and that I
have every reason to believe these feelings to be shared by al-
most all the natives upon the coast. No apprehension, there-
fore, of any aggression on their part need be entertained ; but
if from any circumstances a hostile purpose should he cherished
by them, I have made arrangements which will immediately
put me in possession of the fact, and enable me to make all ne-
cessary preparations to resist it. In order to strengthen this
friendly feeling, I have published an address to the natives in
their own language, and have caused it to be distributed in all
parts of the country, which I trust will have that effect, by
maintaining a confidence in the justice of the government
and in the impartial administration of the law. At the
same time I have taken measures for the protection of
persons and property in this place, and the immediate
vicinity, by increasing the police force to an extent which
will, I trust, be sufficient to meet the present exigency.
I have deemed that the recent occurrence was of so serious
a nature in itself, and in its probable consequences, as to call
for the immediate interposition of the local Government. 1
have therefore forwarded to Auckland all the information I
have been able to collect, aud I feel assured that, Immediately
upon receiving the intelligence, a portion at least of the troops at
the disposal of the Government will be sent to this place, that
a full and searching investigation will be made into all the cir-
cumstances of the transaction, and that prompt and complete
justice will be done.
I will not conclude without expressing my sense of the
promptitude and zeal which you have displayed in coming for-
ward to strengthen the hands of the Government, and to be
prepared to resist any aggressions on the part of the natives,
should such have been contemplated. I am happy in being
able to assure you that there is no probability of your being
called upon for actual service, but should such an occasion arise,
I shall feel that I may rely with confidence upon your support,
and I shall be proud to place myself at your head. At the same
time, I would earnestly impress upon you the importance of not
doing anything which may create unnecessary alarm, or may
destroy the confidence of the natives in our justice and for-
bearance—by leading them to imagine that the purely defensive
measures in which you are engaged are designed to be after-
wards employed in aggressive warfare.

Friends—Listen to what I the police magistrate of Port
Nicholson have to say to you. Remain quiet on the subject of
this lamentable event at Wairau ; for 1, and all the white
people of this place, regret most sincerely this painful occur-
rence. We are not about to make war upon you. I wish
merely to learn the real truth of the whole affair, to submit the
same to the Governor, that he may cause it to be investigated.
Do not fear that any white man will injure any of you in the
slightest degree. Remain at your several positions, and pursue
your intercourse with the people of Port Nicholson as usual.
All the chiefs of Port Nicholson fully understand what I have
said above to be our feeling towards them. Friends—This is
all I have to say to you.

Friends—Listen to the above saying, and do not. mistake.
Good is the saying of the white man ; to search out the truth of
who is to blame : perhaps it is the white man ; perhaps it is
the Maori. Do not spread false reports respecting the matter :
do not talk much about it. And let all the Maories at every
place know this. From your friends,

JUNE 30.—A meeting of magistrates was held yesterday, at
the house of Mr. Macdonogh, the police magistrate, at which
the following gentlemen were present : —A. E. Afacdonogh,
Esq., P.M., C. Clifford, Esq., J. P., E. Daniel. Esq., J.P.,
G. S. Evans, Esq., D.C.L., J.P., W. Guyton, Esq., J.P.
E. Halswell, Esq., C.J., R. D. Hanson, Esq., C.P., G.
Hunter, Esq., J.P., the Hon. H. W. Petre, J.P.„ W. Swain-
son, Esq., J. P., H. St. Hill, Esq., Sheriff, G. White, Esq., J.P.
After a statement had been made by Dr. Evans, we under-
stand that two resolutions were passed, the first proposed by
Dr. Evans, and seconded by the Hon. H. W. Petre, request-
ing Mr. Spain to proceed in his capacity of magistrate up the
coast, to communicate to the natives the determination of the
magistrates not to make nor sanction any attempts to take ven-
geance for the lives of the settlers killed at Wairau, but to leave
it to Government, who would act according to the law ; and
the second, proposed by G. White, Esq., and seconded by G.
Hunter, Esq., requesting Dr. Evans to proceed to Auckland,
to lay before the officer administering the government a full
statement of the circumstances as elicited by the magistrates
who proceeded to Cloudy Bay. Both resolutions were carried
unanimously.
JULY 4.—We understand that the Maori Chiefs at Wan-
ganui, on hearing of the late dreadful massacre at Wairau,
offered to assemble two thousand strong, and go against Rau-
paraha, if Mr. E. J. Wakefield would put himself at their head.
JULY 7.—On Tuesday evening, Mr. Spain returned to this
town from his mission to Otaki. We understand that, on his
arrival at Waikanae, he met with Rauparaha, who was endea-
vouring to persuade the natives of that place to make common
cause with him against the settlers. The chief, however, con-
tinued firm to his first purpose, stating that he had always re-
ceived from the settlers just treatment, and would not engage
against them in a quarrel which noways concerned himself or
his people. This friendly sentiment was confirmed by the
statements of Mr. Spain, who took great pains to impress upon
the whole body of natives that principle of English law, which
forbidsithat the innocent should be punished with or for the guilty.
On the Saturday, Mr. Spain proceeded to Otkai, where he met
Watanui and the other chiefs of the Ngati Rukawa tribe.
From them he received positive assurances that they would in
no case be concerned in acts of aggression upon the settlers, hut
they unanimously stated their determination to protect Raupa.
raha at all hazards.

.loLy :25.—The Government brig arrived here yesterday
more ing from Auckland, bringing Major Richmond, the Chief
Police Magistrate ; Colonel Godfrey, Commissioner of Land
Claims, wo is about to proceed to Akaroa ; Mr. Edward
Shortland ; Captain Bennett, of the Engineers; and '53 sol-
diers of the 96th. We have as yet heard but little of the in.
telligence brought. The arrival of a body of soldiers will tend
to restore confidence, and we believe that ample inquiries will
be made into all the circumstances connected with the affair
at Wairau. We understand that Major Richmond will proceed
in the course of a day or two in the brig to Cloudy Bay, and
then to Nelson, and return to this place as speedily as possible.

ST. STEPHEN WALBROCK AND

ALDERMAN GIBBS.

On Wednesday the parishioners of St. Stephen Walbrook met
in special restry, as per adjournment from the 15th N.,rember
last. There was a very numerous attendance, and Mr. Con-
life, banker, took the chair.

The minutes of the last open vestry having been confirmed,
Mr. ROCK called on the vestry clerk's representative to pro-
' duce the minutes of the select vestry, held on the 22d ult., and
from which the parishioners were excluded by Mr. Alderman
Gibbs, when it appeared that no record of that meeting had
been entered on the vestry-book, and that the only minutes of
it were now in the possession of Mr. Alderman Gibbs.
The CHAIRMAN thought that this was a strong proof on the
part of the vestry clerk that a select vestry was illegal—the fact
of his not having recorded it in the books.--( Hear. )
Mr. Roca having proposed that the minutes of the present
meeting should be inserted consecutively with the last, so as
to prevent the possibility of any record of the select vestry
being hereafter inserte 1,
The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting, contending
that the parish had been treated most shamefully and con-
temptuously by Mr. Alderman Gibbs.--(" Hear," and ap-
plause.) He, for one, was now of opinion that Alderman Gibbs
had no accounts to produce.—( Hear, hear.) It only remained
for them to let the law take its course, and to enter into a sub-
scription to defray the expenses.—( Applause.)
The Rev. Dr. CROLY, who had been specially requested to
attend the vestry, addressed the meeting at some length, de-
tailing what occurred at the select vestry meeting of the 22d.
He said—As I have been called on to state the circumstances
which occurred on the 22e1 of last month, when the parishioners
were excluded from the vestry-room, I shall state them as
briefly as possible. You know that from the commencement of
these transactions I have not suffered any ill-temper to mingle
with my remarks; that have spoken reluctantly when I spoke
at all ; and that in every instance I have shown an absence of
all personal hostility to any one. I certainly was not the de-
fender of your churchwarden, for I couNot see my way in this
direction; but I constantly gave him the opportunity of defend-
ing himself, the only opportunity which men of spirit and honour
can ever desire.—( Hear, hear.) My only purpose was to see
justice done between man and man. I was neither his assailant
nor his advocate. I was even most unwillingly compelled to
take upon me the office of umpire.—( Hear, hear.) But of the
transaction of the 22d instant—an injury almost personal.
I have no superstitious reverence for the walls of a church;
but I have the due respect for it as a place of our
common worship ; and I find it impossible to regard
its blocking up with policemen but as an act de-
serving of my severest censure. I have heard of offences
offered to churches by the violence of mobs, by the strug-
gles of contending parties, by the influx of Chartists, but I
never recollect any deliberate act—and that too of autho-
rity—which gave me so much pain as the scene which pre-
sented itself to me both without and within your church on
that day.—( Hear, hear.) When I arrived at the door I found
a considerable number of the parishioners in the street,
anxious and angry no doubt, yet behaving with perfect quiet-
ness, arid two police officers standing with their backs to the
door. As those persons were no more familiar with my face
than I was with theirs, I should, possibly, not have obtained
admittance at all, but that the parish beadle introduced me to
their acquaintance ; and thus, with Mr. Brett acting as mas-
ter of the ceremonies, I was let in. I found within the porch
a posse of policemen, who having eyed me with a professional
glance, suffered me to pass; and after this station-house
scrutiny—this pickpocket probation—l presumed I was at
liberty to pass on. But here again I found a new obstacle, a
new specimen of vigilance, in the shape of the alderman's son,
Mr. Joseph Gibbs, who stood at the inner door, at the head of
the steps, performing the part of turnkey.—(Shame.) I ac-
knowledge that I at first felt startled at the singular indelicacy
of the father's placing the foolish son in this degrading posi-
tion ; but as it seemed perfectly satisfactory to himself, and
indeed perfectly suitable, I saw no further necessity for any
sorrows of mine.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) I understand
that this young gentleman is intended for the law. New, Aris-
totle recommends that in all things we should begin at the
beginning, and it must be owned that Mr. Joseph Gibbs could
not commence his trade lower down. Whatever he may be not
fit for, I can assure you he has the talents for a turnkey.—
( Hear, and laughter.) Having unlocked the door, which I
heard locked behind me again, as if instead of entering a church
I was traversing a gaol, I supposed that all obstacles were over
at last. Alas ! gentlemen, how vain are the hopes of man !
Our sextoness, with her back to the vestry-door, planted on the
defensive, stood before me, reversing her natural employment,
aid instead of opening doors, keeping them shuts My name
was now whispered through the key-tole, another unlocking
took place, and I was at length let in ; the whole arrangement
convincing me that the Alderman possessed unsuspected facul-
ties for public service—the triple watch and ward, the succes-
sive lockings, the posted thieftakers, and the filial turnk. y,
satisfying me that, in addition to his many employments, he
would make a capital governor of Newgate,swith the wards as
a provision for the minor branches of his family, and, perhaps,
the treasurership of the Sheriffs' Fund to complete the re-
creations of his cell.—(Cheers and laughter). On my admis-
sion I found assembled, in "grim repose," the gentlemen whose
names you already know ; and, on my taking the chair,
Alderman Gibbs read a statement of some length, but
which seemed to me to contain little new. It was chiefly
limited to what we have so often heard—namely, that he
had been ready with his accounts, but was prevented from
giving them, by the intrusion of the parishioners into the
select vestry. This paper seemed to me to pass by all the
natural questions; for instance—Why he had not given an
account for the last nineteen years? --of what nature was that
account which he had given in such haste before the Lord
Mayor?—and whether he had been actually ready with any
account at all until the present moment—if this were an ac-
count?—why he had suffered so heavy a debt ( if debt it were)
to accumulate without the knowledge of the parish?—why he
had not collected the poor-rates for so many years ?—ss ith
other equally obvious questions. But all this was listened to
in perfect placidity. The tide flowed all one way, and, except
for an occasional remonstrance on my part, there,would not have
been a ripple. I simply urged the necessity of having public
accountants, or auditors, unconnected with the select vestry,
before we could regard those accounts as authentic. It is true,
gentlemen, that I had been previously offered the inspection
of the accounts from eleven to two on the very slay of the
meeting. Thus, in three hours I was to examine the accounts
of nineteen years. Now, gentlemen, whatever opinion I may
have of my faculties—it does not mount so high—l am no
Michael Cassio, "the great arithmetician ;" not a worker of
arithmetical miracles-1 am not the "grand American calcu-
lating boy ;" and if I had been ten grand:American calculating
boys, I should not have been equal to the task. I therefore had
not the indulgence of giving the Alderman his quietus. And,
more—if that question had been proposed to the chair, I should
certainly have declined to put it. The proposal made to the
chair was simply that the accounts should be printed, to which
of course I acceded. And thus we settled the question of
goods and chattels without troubling the proprietors, whom
our police force kept raging outside the doors.—( Shame. )
Gentlemen, I remember, in " Tristram Shandy," a case
quoted, in which the Duchess of Burgundy was refused the
guardianship of her own children, and the French council,
constructed, I presume, something on the plan of a select ves-
try, declared " that a mother was no relation to her own chil-
dren." " But," interrupted my uncle Toby, " what did the
Duchess of Burgundy say to that?" Gentlemen, we had in
the street at the moment a crowd of our Duchesses of Bur-
gundy, who, when their own property was concerned, would
thus probably have given a very direct answer ; and thus we
glided on. Gentlemen, I may be disposed to treat this lightly
now ; but I had a very different feeling. As I sat in that
useless chair, holding that sinecure office, and acting in a
" glorious minority" of one, I was more than once tempted
to ask in what part of the world I was at that moment—under
what rash, headlong, and arbitrary authority—under what
violent, and foolish, and unhappy Government ? Was
I in Turkey, where the Porte sends for a man's purse
and his head together? Was lin Russia, where an ukase
sweeps ten thousand subjects at a time into the return-
less desert? Was lin Rome, where a man is cast into
a dungeon, on a hint from a Cardinal'a_lackey ? No ; but
in the freest country in the world, and in the freest
city of that country, amongst a people who pride themselves
on their system of popular government, on their free expres-
sion of opinion, and on their power over their own purses ?
Such scenes, I thought, could never occur in such a country
as that, and least of all in one of the temples devoted to the
worship of their Creator.—( Cheers. ) But, Gentlemen, I
have heard it said that all this is much ado about nothing. I
don't think so.—( Hear, hear.) Rates were imposed on the
parish whilst these doors were closed upon you ; and, to apply
what was said of Hampden to yourselves, though 20,000/. might
not make you beggars, 20d. may make you slaves. —(Cheers. )
But I will go no further, nor would I add another sentence,
were there not too little citcumstances to which I desire espe-
cially to refer—first, I wish to assure you that though the
churchwardens' accounts were audited, they were not passed, at.
least while I presided. I beg you to believe that I would have
nothing to do with the passing of them in such an assembly, and
that had such a proposal been made to me I would have ven-
tured to disturb the complacency of the meeting, by refusing t 3
put the question from the chair.—( Cheers.) The other point
to which I wish to allude is personal. I some little time back
received from Alderman Gibbs a letter, in which he hinted to
me that the payment of my salary for the lectureship was
" voluntary on the part of the vestry."—(Cries of" Shame.")
Gentlemen, I understood the hint, and I can despise it.—
(Much cheering.) I won't believe, however, that any vestry
—select or open—will play second fiddle to such a paltry act.
—( Renewed cheering.) I wish I could say that even under
such circumstances I could afford to throw up this lectureship
at once ; but the truth is, that I can't afford it. You all know
that the value of this living is not great, and I, Gentlemen,
whether right or wrong, fancy that I am a man who has not
been well used by the world—that, at any rate, I have been,
like many others, a victim to the ingratitude of Governments
who, in conciliating their enemies, have neglected the zealous
friends whom they used as stepping-stones to their own ad-
vancement. But to pass by this : you all know the state of the
congregation of this church whets I came here—you all know
how it is now attended. As for my intercourse with my pa-
rishioners, your kind feeling towards me is the best assurance
of their esteem. I do not believe that the select vestry will
act as it is hinted they may act ; and as for Mr. Alnerman
Gibbs's threat, let the Livery of London drag hlm out of the
slough of Walbrook. Let the Aldermen take him into their
boat (not too lightly freighted already) : let him be presented
to the Mansion-house and to the judgment-seat—yet still I
will say that 1 despise it.—( Hear, hear.) Nor, in saving this,
am 1 unmindful or regardless of Mr. Alderman Gibbs's power.
Some one has said that he is an obscure man. He is no such
thing. No one has been more eager after a sort of petty des-
potic power. The catalogue of his offices would be as long and
tedious as the catalogue of Homer's ships. Are you anxious
to consult the Land Tax Commissioners? Then you must go
to Alderman Gibbs. Are you desirous of assisting in carrying
the Income-tax into effect ?—( A laugh.) -Then you must go
to Alderman Gibbs. If you take an interest in the adminis-
tration of the affairs of the poor, Mr. Alderman Gibbs is at the
head of the City Union. If you want—in fact, if you want
anything at all—whatever public office you may go into—
whatever little scheme you are desirous of aiding, in each and
all Mr. Alderman Gibbs somehow or another is concerned.
Nor does he limit his offices to the metropolis. If you extend
your ambition beyond London, and take a trip to Margate,
there is Mr. Alderman Gibbs a master and treasurer again.
Nay, if in looking for glory you poke your nose even under the
ground, there you meet him once more, for Mr. Alderman
Gibbs is a Commissioner of Sewers.—( Loud laughter, and
cheers.) No, no, Gentlemen, you have no obscure or in-
significant person to deal with. You have to deal with a man
clothed with authority, and you must act accordingly.

Mr. HOWETT proceeded to comment on what he termed the
unprecedented and unjustifiable conduct
Gibbs in excluding the parishioners from the church, on the
late occasion, and treating them as though they were ruffians.
Mr. ROCK followed af some length, and stated that the re-
sult of the deputation that had waited on Archdeacon Hale to
know whether he had given aothority for the exclusion of the
parishioners from the church on the •22d oft., was to the effect,
ethxaistteihd in w
eAreahltbleraocok, and Archdeacon had
bdbeeienng
askedi
in `armed tE at a select vestry
whether it had the power
of preventing others from intruding, gaye it ae his opinion that
"any body of men meeting for the disch,_•re,e of their peculiar
(tut es hid the power of so doing." Thi.% was evidently no
authority (or excluding the parishioners fr,,ixt the church, nor
did the Archdeacon intend it as such.—( Dear,. hear, approba-
tion, and hisses.) Since then Mr. Alderrna:na
suppliant at Mr. Rock's feet, apologising for NiCribbs had been
si'
conduct, and
asking with " bated breath and whispering liumb.'eness," for
further time to file his answer in the Court of . Chancery.
Should he (Mr. Rock) give it?—( Several voices, No, no.")
Then he would not give one second, and, if the answer was not
filed, there was no other alternative but the Queen's Be, teh.
He would move that the vestry at its rising do adjourn.
Mr. How I.TT seconded this.
After which it was moved by Mr. Ha netsow, se:
conded by Mr. WieLeams, and carried unanimously, " That
the raiment of the is. and Is. 6d. rate, lately levied by the
select vestry, be resisted until the accounts of Alderman Gibbs
were produced."
Mr. I'LlotiT, amid much applause, announced that if any
proceeding.; were instituted against those who resisted pay-
ment, and were not able, from want of means, to defend them-
selves, he would pay the expenses.
Tit:" best thanks of the parishioners were then voted to the
Rev. Dr. Croly for his rea::ms attention to the interests of
the parishioners ; and, after some conversation, the Testr?
stood adjourned.

IRELAND.
Ti) THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—Two letters have recently appeared in the Times, signed
"An Irishman," dated from Southampton. The object of
these communications, so grossly and foully abusive of Irish lend-
lords is evidently to excite in the minds of the English public
a feeling that the Irish landlords generally are most inhuman
towards their tenants, and that, consequently, the success
which attends agitation and repeal, is attributable Ur that cause.
One should have supposed that now, whilst an impartial Com-
mission is investigating the subject, at least a cessation of these
hostilities would take place. All parties are now being e.lirnlY
listened to, and they will be fearlessly adjudicated upon.
There is no danger but that the complaints of the lowei
classes will be brought forward, inasmuch as the Repeal Com-
mittee have from the Corn-Exchange issued a circular to the
Roman Catholic priests of every parish to send to the Com-
-1 missioners a statement of every case of supposed hardship
which has occurred during the last twenty years.
Surely it would be but common justice to await the result
of this inquiry, anti not condemn defendants during their trial,
and whilst the jury is deliberating. But such is, unfortunately,
not " Irish justice." " Impartial justice," now-a-days, rather
means, that thelsehtlernan, the landlord, the Protestant, the
non-repealing Litholie, or Ire that has anything to lose, shalt
be hunted down like a wild beast, in order that they who direct
the storm may fatten on the plunder they hope to obtain in
the scramble consequent on a religious and democratical revo-
lution.
The " Irishman" has fortunately mentioned the names of
certain parties, known men. These be has denounced in the
most scandalous terms, viz., the Duke of Devonshire, Earl
Fitzwilliam, the Marquises of Hertford and CJnyngham, and
the Earl of Roden.
The Duke of Devonshire possesses vast estates in the counties
of Waterford and Cork. I will venture to assert that there is
not a man in Ireland of respectability, or otherwise, who would
venture to put his name to a document impugning his Grace's
conduct as a landlord. It is a most notorious fact that there
is not a property in the British empire more admirably managed
than the whole of those vast possessions. The most kind and
liberal attention is paid to the humblest individual—the im-
provements are immense—the condition of the tenantry most
thriving. The sums expended by his Grace for their advan-
tage are enormous. In one instance alone, viz., the bridge and
embankment at Dungarvon, not less than 30,6001. was expended
by the Duke.
The late Speaker of the House of Commons Jllr. Aber-
crombie), aided by the resident agent, Mr. Currie, for years
superintended those estates. I need, I believe, say no wore.
To these facts I am an eye-witness for 25 years, as my property
joins his Grace's at the founds of the county of Waterford.
I have been through Earl Fitzwilliam's estates in Wicklow ;
his Lordship is well known in England as one of the best of
landlords, and that a roan is sure of making a fortune, when
once he becomes his tenant; he is famed for letting his lands
considerably below their value. The same system is pursued in
Ireland ; and I defy any one to point out in the three kingdoms
a more wealtny, comfortable tenantry than those on
ship's Irish estates, where the tenants hold direct fron: ht

A circumstance occurred a few years ago worth relating .a, a
proof of the treatment experienced by Irish landlords :—..‘
lease on Isis Lordship's estate expired; there were several
pauper families on the land who really had no means of liveli-
hood. They desired to emigrate; his Lordship provided a
vessel at his own expense for them. They received on their
arrival at Wexford 2,0001. to tit them out, &c. ; upon touching
the money, however, they all returned to their former habita-
tions, and his Lordship lost his 2,0001., pie.
The estates of the Marquis of Hertford have been for many
years under the management of the Rev. Mr. Stannus, con-
fessedly one of the very best agents in Ireland. They are
situate in the county of Antrim. Happy indeed would it ho
for Ireland, could I point out many such landlords as the late.
Marquis of Hertford. Fortunately for his Irish tenantry, he
possessed boundless wealt it is true. Mr. Stannus had only
to write to his Lordship, erg the amount of money he , t
re-
quired to improve the c ion of the tenantry anti the coun-
try, anti he immediately eived his Lordship's consent. But •
the fact speaks for itself. The estate is in the finest condi-
tion, and the numerous teftntry most contented and pros-
perous. The town of Lisburn i 1 &ishing ; trade and
manufactures progress to a gre the sums of money
expended by the lax and spresen itn building churches,
tu
seho ils, hospitals, and in chari S o descriptions, are
enormous.

These facts can be proved by his Lordship's Lonioa solicitor,
who resides in Saville-row, Bond-street.
It is true that these three Noble Lords are personally what are
termed absenteq, This is certainly a misfortune to Ireland.
English people, Isibwever, will live in England, where they are
born and bred; and, considering how the landlords and gentry
are persecuted and worried by agitators in black coats as well
as in blue, it is only marvellous that so many reside in Ireland
who could reside elsewhere. But, under the circumstances,
considering that these Noble Lords have perhai.s more pro-
perty in England, and, consequently, reside where their fami-
lies have dwelt for ages, they undoubtedly do everything that
men can effect to remedy the evil of absenteeism.
The Marquis of Conyngharn has a vast tract of poor land in
that very poor county Donegal, the greatest part of which is
mountain and morass. His ancestors granted long leases.
The middlemen sublet those lands ad in./in/turn ; consequently,
a large pauper population has grown up on this estate; it was
impossible to prevent this misfortune. As long as these leases
exist, the present landlord can do nothing to improve their
general state ; he has endeavoured, however, by draining
wastes, and cultivating mountain land, to alter the state of
things. His Lordship is well known to be most kind-hearted
and amiable. His general character is that of a good land-
lord ; and this is, I am satisfied, the first time he ever- was
attacked, and I am convinced it ought to be the last. His
Lordship has a house at Southampton, for the benefit of his
children's health. As the" Southampton Irishman" frequently
sees his Lordship in the streets of that town, he could not, con-
quently, resist abusing him—it was far too tempting.
English people ought to know that Lord Norbury was mur-
dered because, having laid out 30,000/. in building a mansion,
he wished to enlarge his park by adding 90 acres to it, the de-
mesne lands being exceedingly circumscribed. He paid libe-
rally the very few tenants removed ; but all would not do ; he
fell a martyr to the Riband conspiracy.
Mr. Charles O'Keefe was murdered in the streets of Thurles,
because he added to his own farm not quite half an acre held
previously by another.
In neither case have the murderers been brought to justice.
The " Irishman " knows these two cases well, and, with such
authentic facts staring him in the face, surely he ought to
pause before he again inculcates docirines which inevitably lead
to the increase of that system of Thuggee, which disgraces
Ireland. I am. Sir, your obedient servant.

THE STATE PROSECUTIONS.
DUMAN, J.N. 2.—Proceedings of a very extraordinary char-
acter have jue. occurred in relation to the State prosecutions,
and which indicate the spirit in which they are to be carried
on.

The Crown prosecutors persevere in their determination to
strike the special jury to-morrow ; but up to this hour the
agents oldie traverse's have not received a copy of the special
panel !
Every day, since the Recorder delivered the ju:y-book to
the Sheriff, the solicitors of the traversers have applied at the
Sheriff's office for a copy of the special panel. They were
told each day that the panel would be ready on the next, and a
copy furnished to them.
On Saturday the Under-Sheriff promised a copy on Monday,
if possible, but certainly on Tuesday (this day). On Monday
the application was renewed, but the roply given was, that the
panel was net ready.
This day, at two o'clock, according to appointment, the so-
licitors far the traversers once more applied at the Sheriff's
office, when Mr. Dickenson, the Under-Sheriff, formally told
them no copy of the special panel would be given to the traver-
sers. The solicitors protested against that course, and appealed
to the Under-Sheriff's experience whether a copy of the panel
had ever been refused before. Ile admitted that it never had,
and that it had been the invariable usage to furnish a copy
previous to the striking of a special jury,; but, he added, that
in this instance he " acted under advice" in refusing it.
This, let the reader bear in mind, occurred not in the bu-
reau of the Attorney-General or Mr. Brewster, at Dublin
Castle, but in the office of Mr. David Charles Latouche, the
high Sheriff appointed by Lord De Grey to arrange juries for
the administration of justice in Ireland.
The law allows the Sheriff ten days to complete his special
panel. Rut Mr. Dickenson, the Under-Sheriff, after refusing
a copy of the panel, took care to apprise the solicitors for the
traversers that it would be ready for the striking of the jury to- -

morrow.
In connection with the special panel three notices have been
served—two on the part of the traversers, and the third, a
counter notice, by the Clerk of the Crown.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The Repeal Association met at one o'clock to-day. Mr.
John O'Connell and Mr. Steele were loudly cheered on their
entrance. 1)r. Murphy in the chair.
Mr. John O'Connell adveried to the speech delivered by the
Lord Mayor yesterday on retiring from office ; and, on the
part of the traversers, disclaimed all anxiety for the intercession
of the corporation, or any other body of men, with the Queen,
in favour of the gentlemen against whom the State prosecutions
had been coremonced. The people's leaders had committed no
crime; and much as they revered and respected her Majesty,
they could nut, therefore, supplicate her pardon.
Mr. Steele fully concurred in the sentiments of his friend
Mr. J. O'Connell.
11Ir. John O'Connell read two letters from his father (Mr.
0. Connell), expressing his gratification at the recent adhesion
to the repeal cause of Mr. Smith O'Brien, Mr. O'Neil, of
Bunoven Castle, and other gentlemen; and inclosing his sub-
scription to the repeal rent, and those of 25 grandchildren.
Ibis announcement was received with great ceeering.s.
'1 he Member for Kilkenny handed in contributions froze
several persons : —The " Marshal" of Dublin, Mr. Ray, the
Masters and Misse: Ray, and others.
After several letters had been read, aid remittances ae.
knowledged,
Mr. John O'Connell spoke at some length on the subject of
a recent article which had appeared in the Edinburgh
.Retoire,
and which he attributed to 111 r. Trevelyan, who, he said, seTe
time ago, published some letters, calumniating Ireland, in the
111orning Chronicle. The Learned Gentleman moved the in-
sertion of extracts from the article on the minutes of the
A sso-

ciation. . .
At four o'clock the repeal rent for the week was annTpicir
to be 2891. 2s. 2d.
