foreigners.—(Cheers.) This was the drift of what
said. I stated nothing of my future conduct; I had
no intention of altering that conduct wNich I have
pursued. I have given my support to the Govern-
ment, but not without restrictions, net withvaut care-
fully weighing what has been said ; and on sev7eral oc-
casions, with my friend Mr. Miles, I hare given them.
my opposition. I shall be ready to do so on .any oc-
casion, with any measure that I think will be to the
destruction of one interest or the derangement of the
whole of our interests.—(Loud cheers.) The obser-
vations which fell from the Duke of Rutland.
and from Mr. Miles have been taken hold of
as if those persons connected with agriculture
were proposing a further relaxation in the laws.
I do think that the results which have been
drawn from our speeches are not fair. 'lime will
show ; if prices are to fall permanently low, it
be the duty of every landlord to make such reduction
to their tenants—(l3ravo 9—it will be the duty of all
of us to be kind and considerate one to another, that
the loss which must fall upon the country should bee
thrown 03 little 23 possible on an individual interest.--
(Cheers.) If these chang-es work without injury to
theinterests of any, I for one shall not be q:ainst
carrying them further, and I have no objection to say
it before you ; but I beg you to remember that my
own livelihood depends upon agriculture, and it Laust
be some claim of justice or of absolute necessity to
damage that cause.
Mr. T. PORCII begged to propose the health of
" Sit A. F100d.,,

Sir A. Hoop said he need not say how exceedingly
flattered he was by the manner in which his health
had been proposed by the gentleman on his right.
That was a time when it did require that the gentry
at large should meet the yeomanry of the land, and le
would re-echo the voice of an honoured individual in
Devon, he meant Sir T. Aclancl—" Don't press the!
tenantry, give them plenty of time." He only told
them what he was doing himself, and he recommended.
it to them, that was, to take a great deal of the super-
fluous labour from the tenantry; they would be.
greatly benefited by such a system. Again, there•
was another • system which showed a willingness on
the part of the landlord to meet his tenant, in bearing
his portion of a measure which ought to stand on the
shoulders of the rich. He was taking that dose him-
self—he paid, his own property-tax for his
tenants—they certainly were few in number, and
it might be complained of, that he did very little,
still it was a great satisfaction to him to do.
it because he highly approved of it. But don't let it
be supposed that the land alone was feeling the pres-
sure of the tax ; the fundholders were severely suf-
fering; he himself was reducing his principle through
paying it, and he had no hesitation in telling theta
that he rejoiced as a fundholder in paying a very con-
siderable portion of that tax. Some allusion hacil
been made to the low price of wheat. He did not
like the system of introducing the name of a gentle-
man in his absence, but there had been a name men-
tioned dear to the Western Division of the county—
he alluded to Mr. Escott, who, he did think, would
decry more than any man the horrible Anti-Corn-
law League. He was sure Mr. Escott's speech had
been misrepresented by the Press.
The proceedings of the evening most judiciously
closed on the health of " The Ladies" being given.

INSTALLATION OF THE DEAN OF ST.

PATRICK'S.

Duums, DEc. 13.—The chapter of St. Patrick's
Cathedral assembled this day, when the Rev. Robert
Daly was installed as Dean, with the usual formalities.
In consequence of tjie protracted litigation, the
revenues of the deaniry, amounting to upwards of
3,0001., have been accumulating, but Dr. Daly, who
had in the meantime been receiving the income of his
rich benefices, will now pocket the arrears.

The story goes that Dr. Daly is to get the vacant
Bishopric of Cashel, as the Government have the next
right of presentation to the deanery of St. Patrick's.
THE CONSTABULARY.

Yesterday the Lord-Lieutenant reviewed the con-
stabulary force at the depot, Phoimix Park, previous

divisions of 50 men each, forming a total of 200, ex-
clusive of non•commissioned and other officers.

lector was glad to effect his retreat by way of Kil-
eau nalugh- hill."

the Archduke will not take his departure until Mon-

of this port, which,
from the shortness of his stay
upon his first arrival
here, he was unable to do. Captain
P avazza, of the
Bellona, left on Wednesday for London, and will
return to-day or to-morrow. His Highness landed on
Wednesday afternoon at the Dockyard, where he was
met by Admirals Sir E. Codrington and 11. Parker
and a number of naval officers, who accompanied him
over the various departments of the Dockyard.
HYDE PARK.—The Earl of Lincoln sent a written
order to the park-keepers on Wednesday morning, at an
early hour, directing them in future to exclude her
Majesty's grooms, and all other persons, who have
been in the habit of exercising horses, from the rides.
THE EXTRAORDINARYIATTEMPT AT MURDER AND
SUICIDE AT THE AUCTION MART TATERN.—OH Wed-
nesday it was reported that the symptoms of the female
were less favourable, and information had been sent
to Mr. Commissioner Harvey to that effect. The
young man, Connell, who is still at St. Thomas's
hospital, where he is constantly in custody of a con-
stable of the City police, has been pronounced by the
medical gentleman of the Institution to be out of
danger, and it is expected by them that in a few days
he will he so far recovered as to be able to undergo
an examination before the Lord Major, at the Mansion
House. He appears to be devotedly attached to his
intended victim, though there is such a disparity of
years between them. He is constantly ejaculating,
1‘ Oh that woman, that woman, I love her."

Christmas-day,' which this year occUrs on Sunday,
will not so fall again for 11 years— namely, not until
1853 ; the wear 1848, in which such an event would
otherwise hire happened, being leap year.

strongest manner the high sense entertained in that
part of the country of his eminent public services, and
his great private worth. The funeral of his Lordship
will take place on Friday next at the church of Had-
nal, within a mile of Hardwicke, which edifice had
been renovated a few years ago at his Lordship's ex-
pense. In reference to the successor of Sir Rowland
Hill in the representation of the Northern Division
of Shropshire, it is as yet not quite determined whether
Lord Viscount Clive will come forward; but at pre-
sent it is the wish of those in whom the gift of the
membership rests that his Lordship should be the per-
son ; and it is thought that he only waits till the time
prescribed by the ordinary observances of etiquette
shall have elapsed to address the electors.

So Freat is the reduction which has taken place in
the price of wheat, that on Saturday last the guar-
dians of the Boston Union entered into a contract for
the supply of good thirds bread for the ensuing quar-
ter of 40. per 41b, loaf ; only a few months ago the
contract price was 7,1-d. the 41b. loaf.—B oaten Herakl•

TUE CALF THAT SUCKED TWO Cows.—An empty-
headed youth once boasted that he had been to two
of the most celebrated schools in England. " Sir,
said a by-stander, "von remind me of the calf that
sucked two cows." And what was the consequence?
"Why, Sir, he was a very great calf."
