The dinner to Mr. °TWAY CAVE, at
Thurlea, is likely to he well and respectably attended.—
JAMES SCULLY, Eq., of Tipperary, is selected to preside
on the occasion.—Dublin Morning Register.

It is not the intention of Lord F. L. GOWER
to honour this city with a visit on his present tour, as the
time appointed for his return to Dublin is nearly expired,
and several official duties of course await him there. His
Lordship still continues, and will remain till Monday, at
Mitchelstown Castle, the seat of the Earl of KINGSTON._

ARRIVAL OF THE MOST REV. DR.
KELLY, CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP OF TUAM.-It affords
us most sincere satisfaction to announce the return of this
virtuous and venerable Prelate to Ireland, after an absence
of nearly twelve months, during the greater part of which
his Grace has sojourned in the city of Route. ,We under-
stand that official documents, showing tire importance to
Catholic Ireland of the objects to which his Grace's la-
bours were directed during his absence, will speedily be
published. We have the happiness to state that his Grace
has returned in excellent bealth.—Dublin Morn. Rey.

The Dean and Chapter of Canterbury have
revived the use of the curfew in that city at eight o'clock.
—Morning Paper.

In several parishes about Canterbury, the
churchwardens have ordered the tolling of the " curfew
bell." The practice commenced on Friday night. The
din and confusion created were only equalled by the eager
application of persons desirous of knowing for whom the
knells pealed forth their solemn notes.

A Paris Correspondent informs us that MA*
THEWS and YATES have repeated their performance in Paris
with equal effect, but to an audience of comparative thin-
ness. Their engagement with LAURENT, however, was
for only three nights; and as they pay only 1001. for the
use of the theatre during that time, their profits must be
considerable.

ARUNDEL.--The funds of the Commis-
sioners of this port are likely to receive a very consider-
able augmentatioa under rather peculiar circumstances.
T►.e Druid frigate arrived at Portsmouth on Sunday seen-
night from Jamaica, having on board cochineal and one
million three hundred thousand dollars, which she brought
from the Spanish Main on private account. In conse-
quence of some part of the Arundel and Portsmouth Canal
being dry, the dollars, which were of the value of
270,0001., were brought coastwise into Littlehampton
harbour for the purpose of being forwarded up the river
to London. The packages tvere discharged into lighters,
and on the master of the vessel (the Elizabeth) waiting
on the collector to pay the harbour dues, he was not a
little surprised to learn that they amounted to 7871. 10s.,
the Act imposing a due of 7d. for every 10/. value. This
demand was however resisted, but on what grounds it is
difficult to imagine, the Act apparently not leaving room
for a doubt on the subject, and the consequence has been
the detention of one of the packages by the collector.
The lighters proceeded up the river with the remainder
on Sunday. A special meeting of the Commissioners has
been called to take the case into consideration.—Brighton
Gazette.

A shocking accident occurred last evening at
the new river, near the Scalp, a few miles below this town.
One of the bankers, named MARTIN DUCKWORTH, was
on board a lighter, at work, when the tide came in very
forcibly; in arranging some ropes in the vessel, one of
them, a new cable, was twisted round the poor fellow's
leg, and before he hail time to extricate himself, the flood
drove the vessel on with such powerful velocity, as actually
to sever the bones of his leg just above the uncle. The
foot and the connecting part of the limb immediately fell
overboard, and the agonized sufferer, fainting from intense
pain and loss of blood, also fell into the water.—He sunk
twice, but rose again, and some of his companions imme-
diately hastened to rescue his maimed body from a watery
grave, and to afford him that assistance which he so truly
required. They directly formed a litter, upon which a
number of them bore him to Boston, a distance of above
three miles, the stump of his leg bleeding profusely all the
way. About half past six o'clock he was brought past our
office, and his countenance was then of the most ghastly 1
description ; indeed death appeared to have terminated his
sufferings. Upon the same litter several portions of his
splintered leg were carritd, and altogether the sight was
truly horrid. He was promptly attended by Messrs.
SNAITII and TUXBORD, surgeons, who shortly afterwards
amputated the leg immediately below the knee joint. Up
to the period of our going to press this morning, the man
was pronounced in a dangerous state,—Boston Gazette
of Tuesday.
