It is stated in a Hants paper of last week,
that a Ball (to which fancy dresses will be admissible) is to
take place at Chichester on the 19th of December, for the
Benefit of the East Hants and Chichester Infirmary.
There is so doubt of its success ; the cause which it is in-
tended to promote will ensure it.

J. K. L.—Dr. DOYLE, under this well-
known signature, has just addressed a long letter to Dr.
Pntr.rows, in which he controverts in a temperate and
equable manner, his opinions regarding the Coronation
Oath. The letter displays J. K. L.'s usual adroitness and
coolness of argument.

LINCOLN, NOV. 23.—Miss FOOTE con-
tinues to be quite successful throughout the provinces.—
She has good reason to be proud of her reception here,
having acted three nights to very fine houses, and last night
her benefit was literally a bumper; indeed the house was
actually crammed almost to suffocation. It was Observed
by a medical gentleman of repute, that the extraordinary
exertion she occasionally has to encounter is enough to try
a more robust constitution than lien's for instance, last
night she acted in three pieces--sung half a dozen songs—
changed her dress twelve times—acted a blind woman, a
French woman, and at last electrified the audience in her
celebrated little jockey,—in that part CHIFNEY says he
must hide his diminished head. We understand she plays
at Colchester the ensuing week, and takes one week's rest
in London the foNowing.
THE GENERAL POLICE ACT FOR TOWNS
IN IRELAND.--This Act is already in operation in Clon-
mel, Newry, Lurgan, Portadown, Clara, Tullamore,
money, and Banbridge. It would seem from the adoption
it has met with, to have been a measure much wanted ;
and well adapted to effect the purposes for which it was
designed.—Dublin Evening Post.
MEETING AT DERBY.--A immeroti. meet-
ing of the clergy of the archdeaconry of this county was
held yesterday in All Saints Church, to consider the pro-
priety of petitioning Parliament on the present state of the
Roman Catholic Question. The Rev. C. S. Hors was
called to the chair. The Rev. Mr. UNwIN addressed the
meeting, and pointed out, in a clear and forcible manner,
the necessity now existing, for all who reverenced our ex•
isting institutions, and considered them endangered by any
accession of political power granted to the Roman Catho-
lics, to petition Parliament upon the subject, and con-
cluded by moving that a petition be presented to both
Houses of Parliament, praying that the Constitution in
Church and State be preserved from the dangers which
threaten them. The Rev. Dr. SLEATH seconded the mo-
tion, which was passed unanimously.—. Chesterfield Ga-
zette, Nov. 22.
