PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE.—An imposing de-
monstration took place in the parishes of Murroc and
Abington on Sunlay last, when persons, to the number
of fifty thousand, assembled to hail the arrival there of
Father Mathew, where he had been invited to administer
the pledge. Deputations from several societies presented
him with addresses. After the greater part of the day
had been spent in administering the pledge to postu-
lants, this immense concourse quietly broke up.
Among the forty-two passengers who departed
yesterday on board the Princess Victoria, were the Eng-
lish crew of the steamer British Queen, on their return
to England. In passing this noble vessel, they saluted
her with three hearty cheers.—Antiverp Paper. We
are assured that the crew of the British Queen is to be
composed solely of men and officers of the Belgian navy.
Captain Claes, now conimanding one of the gunboats,
stationed in the Scheldt, has received the appointment of
second captain on board this steamer. 'I bey are occu-
pied at this moment in taking on board a pretty large
quantity of goods, and her departure is fixed for next
Thursday at ten o'clock in the morning.—Journal de
Commerce. . _

EWSVENDERS' DINNER.—A custom has prevailed
for several years past amongst the proprietors of the leading
journals of the metropolis, of contributing donations for the
purpose of giving a dinner to the London newsvenders. and the
boys who carry out:newspapers. Thi4an'nual festival was heldon
Thursday at the White Conduit-house Tavern, where upwards
of 1,100 persons, including the boys, and their female friends
or relatives, sat down to an excellent dinner. As a great por-
tion of the guests could not leave their engagements during the
day time, a supper was served at eight o'clock, for those who
were not able to attend the dinner. Mr. Wild, of Catherine-
street, took the chair, and in proposing the Queen's health, he
adverted to the recent attempt which had been made upon her
Majesty's life, by a miscreant member of their calling; but as
he wished the world to know that the newsvenders would yield
to no class of her Majesty's subjects in devotion sad loyalty, he
called upon them to fire upon her Majesty in another way, and
show that the flock was not spoiled by one black sheep. A
most terrific hurrahing and clapping of hands succeeded this
outburst of loyalty, shortly after which the company dispersed
in the fine gardens adjoining this establishment, where a con-
cert, consisting of vocal and instrumental music, had been pre-
pared for their entertainment. The rooms were thrown open
for a ball at nine o'clock, and the festivities were prolonged to a
late hum this morning.
We learn from Baden the arrival there of M.
Juge'et, the distinguished landscape-tpainter,pwaihgonsreineeAnitglyerriae.-

', forseveral pictures repreAenting h
