A meeting of the Irish Bishops at present in
London was held last week at the residence of the Primate
of Ireland. There were not more than seven or eight •
present, end of these the Bishops of KILDARE, of Dwarf
and (we understand) of Mourn also, dissented from e
petition which is to be presented to the KING on Satur-
day
next, against the Relief Bill at present in progress
through the Commons' House. There was also a meet- .
ing of the English Bishops at the palace of the Arch-
bishop of CANTERBURY, and we have to congratulate the
cause of civil and religious liberty on the fact, of which
we have been assured, that twelve English Bishops have
declared their intention to support Ministers on the ap-
preaching division on the Relief Bill in the House of
Lords.— Observer.

Madame CAMPORESE arrived in England on

Lord GRENVILLE will make an effort to attend in his place
in the House of Lords on the second, reading of the Catholic
Relief Bill.

BOROUGH OF SANDWICH.—A contest has
suddenly arisen in the borough of Sandwich, just vaCate4.,
by Sir EDWARD OWEN. Sit HENRY FANE was expected
to have been returned without- opposition. On Thursday
Sir W. CURTIS canvassed the borough, but gave up, there
appearing but little chance of success. Mr. Parer, a bar••.
rister of the west, has since started, and is determined to
stand a contest.

The assizes for this county commence next.
Saturday. The calendar is, we understand, very heavy.--..

In Paris, the distress of th• Portuguese re-
fugees, who sought an asylum at Brest after the affair of
Terceira, appears to have created a great deal of sym-
pathy, and to have been relieved in rather a novel man-
ner. A subscription was opened for these unfortunate
men, and a ball at 20 francs the ticket took place at Vaux- •
hall, for their benefit. The tickets thus sold amounted ;
to 1,600, and the number of persons who attended to
1,200. We mention the circumstance only to hare an .
opportunity of noticing the singular composition of
the party assembled fur this benevolent object. Among •
them were found Liberals and courtiers, Princes of the
blood, and Paris shopkeepers. But the strangest appear-
ance of all in such an assembly wan that of the Marquis
and Marchioness of LOULE. The Marchioness, who is
Don MIGUEL'S sister, danced with Gen. SAtnaratA,
who headed the sufferers for whom the ball was given.
Thus the sister of the usurper, herself persecuted by huts'
attends a charitable entertainment to relieve the victims of
her brother's perfidy and persecution.

A SCOTTISH SOLOMON.--in old tlunegt,r
when the landlord of an inu presented his guests with
deoch an dornis, that is, the drink at the door, or the,
stirrup-cup, the draught was not charged in the reckon-
ing. On this point a learned Bailie of the town of Forfar'
pronounced a very sound judgment. A., an ale-wife is -
.Forfar, had brewed her " peck of malt," and set the
quor out of doors to cool ; the cow of 8., a neighbour of:
A., chanced to conic by, and seeing the good beverage,
was allured to taste it, awl finally to drink it up. Whet,.
A. came to take in her liquor, she found her tub erilptY,
and from the cow's staggering and staring, so as to betray
her intemperance, she easily divined the mode in which her,
" browst" had disappeared. To take due vengeance on:.
Crommie's ribs with a stick was her next effort. The roaring,
of the cow brought 8., her master, who remonstratei:
with his angry neighbour, and received in reply a demand,
for the value of the ale which Crummie had drank up. 13-4
refused payment, and was conveyed before C., the Bailie,' "
or sitting magistrate. He heard the case patiently, Ea
then demanded of the plaintiff A , whether the caw had eat
down to her potion, or taken it standing. The plaintiff An' .
swered, she had not seen the deed:committed, but she sap':
posed the cow drank the ale while standing on her feet
adding, that bad she been near, she would have made her:
use them to some purpose. The Bailie, on this admission, so-
lemnly adjudged the cow's drink to be deoch an dorlds--.-4
stirrup-cup, for which no charge could be made, ,without
violating the ancient hospitality of Scotland.—Sir Walter
Scott.

THE GERMAN CHARACTER.—You will:
probably find the Cermans in their life, as they appear
their literature : the inward world of thought and feeling
has always predominated with them. They have been led
to national exertions more by indistinct impulse and entho-.
sittsm, than by calculating intellect : and while the love
of liberty has ever warmed the Geiman breast, it, hat
burned most fiercely when their right of freedou
conscience was impeded. It is this, their contempla-
tive tendency, which has led them to enitivate the
pleasures afforded in the seclusion of domestic life, ratee
than to strive for those inalienable rights which alone eau
secure private happiness. The German steps from, the,
narrow circle of his family into the boundless field of spe-:
culative research; hut, unhappily, he too often forget°,
that it is only by his exertions for nutional welfare that
he can give a practical value to those researches. Na.
people has ever more actively and successfully eulti-,
vated the empire of ideas—none neglected more deplor-
ably the affairs of the commonweal and of actual life.,
The Germans will be found admirable fathers, virtuoug,_
members of society, loyal subjects, eminent scholars, but,
careless citizens. There have, however, been otTuggles
glorious ones—for national union and independence.; hoc
the rousing spirit has Leen checked and stifled, and the •
people soon lulled into a contemplative slumber by the
evadle-song of their many thousand cosmopolitical writer's
who, with few exceptions, have neglected to affora
scope for public life and national activity. When.
Gentlemen, I shall have made you acquainted' with
the organization of that admirable language ; when, you,
yourselves shall have acquired a thorough knowledge of it,
and of the treasures which it contains,—then I shall feel
truly gratified, if you will participate with me in the belief
and hope, that, like the mysterious statue of Memnon, it
wilt resound its finest tones when warmed by
.the' sun 0(
liberty, which in your own free and happy:eito:tintri'has,
called forth so many masculine, so many Undyini sounds.
