CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—The annual meet-
ing of the Brighton and East Sussex Auxiliary of the
Church Pastoral Aid Society was held at the Town-hall,
Brighton, the Lord Bishop of Chichester (Dr. Gilbert) in
the chair; and the Earl of Chichester and Sir T. Blome-
field forming a portion of the numerous assemblage.

LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE.—On Wednesday even-
ing the two sons of the Rev. G. W, Mortimer, D.D.,
head master of the City of London School, went to the
Teign, near Teienmouth, where Dr. Mortimer and hi,
family were residing, to bathe. They were both carried
away by the tide, and not got to land for a considerable
time. The second was happily restored, but the eldest
could not be recovered.

Amongst the signatures attached to the remonstrant
address to the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford, relative to Dr.
Pusey's sermon, is that of Mr. Justice Coleridge. Now
what reply, may we ask, would that learned personage
make to a clique of barristers wbo, doubting the sound-
ness of his judgment i❑ a case, coolly informed his lord-
ship that they " deprecated" his construction of the
statute, and thought the interests of the profession and the
country required an elaborate refutation by his lordship
of the pleadings of the suitor whose claim he had decided
against? If Mr. Justice Coleridge did not immediately
check such impertinence he would he unworthy of the
nigh position he now so worthily fulfils.—Herald.
NEW CHURCH AT MOSS SlDE.—Robert Heath, Esq..
of Waterloo, near Liverpool, who was formerly engaged
in business as an iron-founder in Manchester, and who
is the owner of Heath Field, and other extensive property
in Moss Side, has commenced the erection of a church
upon his own estate in that township, the cost of which
will be defrayed by himself. Moss Side has hitherto pos-
sessed no church ; its population, though small, has shared
in the increase which all the suburban townships of Man-
chester have undergone ; and, taken in conjunction with
the populous part of Chorlton-upon-Medlock, to which
it immediately adjoins, and which is a great distance from
any church, it presents a very advantageous site for the
erection of a " House of Prayer."

THE COURT.

' The Queen gave a splendid entertainment, at Virginia
Water, on Saturday, in celebration of Prince Albert's
twenty-fourth birthday.

RETURN OF THE COLRT TO WINDSOR.—On Thursday
afternoon, at half-past five o'clock, her Majesty arrived
at the Castle from the Slough station, in an open travel-
ling carriage and four, escorted by a detachment of the
Ist regiment of Life Guards, commanded by Lieutenant
Cavendish. Her Majesty arrived at Slough from the
Paddington terminus in the Great Western Railway state
carriage, the distance being performed in 27 minutes.
The Queen was accompanied by his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, and attended by the Countess of Dun-
more. lady in waiting.

ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS DE JOIN-
VILLE AND LE Duc D'AUNIALE.—At nine o'clock on
Monday morning the Pluto French war-steamer, Rear-
Admiral Prince de Joinville, and his brother, Le Due
de Aumale, arrived at Woolwich, attended by the Archi-
mede and Napoleon war steamers in the French service.
A field battery of the Royal Artillery, under the com-
mand of Captain Tylden, stationed in the dock-yard, fired
a salute to announce the arrival of their royal highnesses.
At half-past ten o'clock their royal highnesses entered
the barge of the William and Mary yacht, and were
steered to the landing place by Commander Smith. At
the moment their royal highnesses stepped on shore,
another royal salute was fired from the field battery sta-
tioned in the dock-yard, and the illustrious visitors were
received with the usual honours. The Marquis de Chabot
and Marshal Count Sehastiani, attached to the French
embassy, and Lord Hawarden and Captain F. Seymour,
attached to the British court, were in waiting on the ar-
rival of their royal highnesses, and left Woolwich imme-
diately after the illustrious visitors landed, to accompany
them to Windsor Castle on a visit to her majesty.—
Morning Chronicle.
THE FRENCH PRINCES.—Some surprise has been ex-
pressed at the sudden departure of the French princes,
who have been sight-seeing in London these last few days ;
but the truth, we hear is, that the Prince de Joinville and
the Duc d'Aumale were merely commissioned by their
royal father to wait upon the Queen for the purpose of
inviting her Majesty and the Prince Consort to beat off
Trepor6 near the Chateau d'Eu, in any marine excursion
which her Majesty and Prince Albert may be about to
take, so that his Majesty Louis Philippe may be enabled
to pay the Queen a sea visit. Having executed this com-
mission, the princes forthwith returned.

. The eldest son of the Marchioness Townsend, and Mr.
Margetts, who assumed the title of Earl of Leicester, but
who has been deprived of that dignity by the Townshend
Peerage Act. has obtained the Royal license to bear the
name and arms of Dunn• Gardner.

A letter from Berlin, Aug. 13th, states that Prince Al-
bert, during his stay at Jerusalem, contributed by his in-
terference to smooth down the difficulties which had
arisen betwee❑ the bishop, Dr. Alexander, and the Pacha,
relative to the construction of a Protestant church and an
hospital.

A subject at present much talked of in the higher cir••
des of society in London is that of the precedency of the
Marchioness of Douglass. According to the strict rules
of precedency, the position of the noble marchioness
would of course be below that of a princess of a sovereign
family. But the decision will depend upon her Majesty.
THE SUSSEX DUKEDOM.—A petition was presented on
Tuesday night, in the House of Lords (though not heard
in the gallery), from Sir Augustus d'Este to her Majesty,
" claiming to be Duke of Sussex, Earl of Inverness, and
Baron of Arklow, and praying that her Majesty will be
graciously pleased to order a writ of summons to pass the
great seal, to summon the petitioner to sit in parliament,
and there to enjoy the rank and privileges to the said titles,
dignities, and honours belonging." This petition was
presented to their lordships by her Majesty's command,
together with the report of the Attorney-General thereon.
It was read and referred to the Committee for Privileges
"to consider and report." The Sussex dukedom claim
will, therefore, in all probability, be one of the subjects of
discussion and investigation next session.

COLONEL STODDART AND CAPTAIN CONOLLY.—
The Times of Tuesday contains an interesting narrative of
a Mussulman fellow-prisoner of the above-named gentle-
men, who gives a minute account of their execution, by
order of the Ameer of Bokhara, the particulars of which
he was supplied with by one of the executioners. The
narrator also states that after his own release from prison
he stood upon the graves of the two officers. A strong
opinion of the general truth of the statement is expressed
by Colonel Sheil, British minister at the court of Persia.
We extract the following passage :—On the 17th of June,
the Ameer gave orders that Colonel Stoddart should be
killed in the presence of Captain Conolly, who was to be
offered life if he were to become a Nlahomedan. In the
afternoon they were taken outside the prison into the
street, which is a kind of small square. Their hands
were tied across in front. Many persons assembled to
behold the spectacle. Their graves were dug before their
eyes. Colonel Stoddart exclaimed aloud at the cruelty
and tyranny of the Ameer. His head was then cut off
with a knife. The chief executioner then turned to Cap-.
tain Conolly, and said—" The Ameer spares your life if
you will become a Mussulman." Captain Conolly an-
swered, " Colonel Stoddart has been a NI ussulman for
three years, and you have killed liku ; you killed Yosoo,
too ; I will not be a Mussulman, and 1 am ready to die."
Saying which he stretched forth his neck. Ilis head was
then cut cif.

THE LIVERPO

"Ott'ita IRE LAND.
`THE NEXT STEP FOR REPEAL.

Mr. O'Connell, at the last repeal meeting in Dublin,
read the following
" PLAN FOR THE RENEWED ACTION OF TAE IRISH
PARLIAMENT.
" Firstly,—The Irish people recognise, acknowledge,
maintain, and will continue to preserve and uphold upon
the throne of Ireland her Majesty Queen Victoria, whom
God protect ! Queen by undoubted right and by heredi-
tary descent, of Ireland, and her heirs and successors for
ever.

" The people of Ireland recognise, acknowledge, main-
tain, and will continually preserve and uphold all the
prerogatives of her Majesty and of her heirs and succes-
sors, belonging to, and inherent in, the imperial crown of
Ireland ; and they will true allegiance bear—pure, undi-
vided, and undivisible—to her Majesty, her heirs, and
successors for ever.

" Secondly,—The people of Ireland acknowlenge, and
will maintain and preserve for ever, the privileges, here-
ditary and personal, of peers of Ireland, together with the
legislative and judicial authority of the Irish House of
Lords, and the exercise of the prerogative in augmenting
and limiting the peerage, as the same did of right exist
before the year 1800.
" Thirdly,—The people of Ireland do firmly insist upon
the restoration of the Irish House of Commons, consisting
of three hundred representatives of the Irish people : and
claim, in the presence of their Creator, the right of the
people of Ireland to such restoration.
" They have submitted to the Union as being binding
as a law ; but they declare solemnly that it is not founded
on right, or on constitutional principle, and that it is not
obligatory upon conscience. They agree with the tory
attorney-general, Saurin, that the only binding power of
the union is the strength of the English domination.
They also agree with him that ' resistance to the union is
in the abstract a duty, and the exhibition of that resist-
ance a mere matter of prudence.' They will, therefore,
resist the union by all legal, peaceful, and constitutional
means.
" Fourthly,—The plan for the restoration of the Irish
Parliament is as follows :-1. That the county members
should be increased to 173, in the manner hereinafter
specified. 2. That there should be 127 members returned
for cities and towns, in the manner hereinafter mentioned.
3. That the county of Carlow, being the only county in
Ireland in which there are less than 100,000 inhabitants,
should get a❑ increase of one member, so as to have three
representatives. That every other county having above
100,000 inhabitants, should get an increase of two mem-
bers. That every county ranging above 150,000 inhabi-
tants, should get an increase of three members. That
every county ranging above 250,000 inhabitants should get
an increase of four members. That the county of Tippe-
rary having more than 400.000 inhabitants, but less than
500,000, should get an increase of eight members. That
the aunty of Cork having more than 700,000 inhabitants,
should get an increase of ten members.
" Fifthly.—With respect to the towns and cities, it is
proposed that the city of Dublin, having more than 200,000
inhabitants, should have eight representatives, four for
the part north of the Liffey, and four for the part south of
the Liffey.
" That, the University of Dublin should continue, on
the basis of its present constituency, to send two members.
" It is proposed that the city of Cork having more than
100,000 inhabitants, should have five members.
" That the city of Limerick and town of Belfast, hav-
ing respectively more than 50,000 inhabitants, should send
four members each.
" It is proposed that the town of Galway and the cities
of Waterford and Kilkenny, having respectively more than
20,000 inhabitants, should each send three members to
parliament.
" That other towns, having about 7000 inhabitants,
should each send two members to parliament, and that
forty-nine other towns, next highest iea the ratio of popu-
lations should send one member each.

" The following schedule of the different places to r,!-
turn members to the Irish parliament will show their
relative population, and the number of members to be
assigned to each.
[Here follows the schedule.l
" The population is taken from the returns of 1831,
which, having been made for a different purpose, and
without any reference whatever to the repeal of the union,
furnish a scale of unquestionable impartiality.
" Sixthly,—lt is proposed that the right of voting should
be what is called' household suffrage,' requiring six months
residence in the counties, with the addition in the towns
of married men, resident for twelve munths, whether
householders or not.

" Seventhly,—lt is proposed that the mode of voting
for members of parliament should certainly be by ballot.
" Eighthly,—The monarch de
.facto of England, at all
times hereafter, whoever he may be, shall be monarch de
jure in Ireland. And so, in case of a future regency, the
regent de facto in England to be regent de jure in Ire-
land.

" Ninthly,—The connection between Great Britain and
Ireland, by means of the power, authority, and preroga.
tives of the crown, to be perpetual, and incapable of
change, or any severance or separation.
" The foregoing plan to be carried into effect according
to recognized law and strict constitutional principle."

The first Irish Arms Bill was a purely whig measure;
and was brought into parliament by the Duke of Bedford,
the father of Lord John Russell.

Mr. Eneas ielacdonnell, in a letter to the Times, gives
the weekly receipts of the Repeal Association, from which
we learn that up to the 14th instant the sum of £28,026
2s. 10d. had been received during the present year. In
January last only £726 6s. 7d. was received, whilst in
July the enormous sum of £7,8-19 17s. 11d. was received.
THE MURDER OF LORD NORRURY.—A man named
Peter Doolan is now in custody charged upon sworn infor-
mation as the actual murderer of Lord Norbury. It is
now about five years since the Earl of Norbury was assas-
sinated, in the open day, in a plantation on his own de-
mesne, and within view of his house.
On Sunday last, as a young man named Ryan was riding
through Cashel, hip horse took fright at the noise of the
Tipperary temperance band, and ran away. Poor Ryan
was thrown on his head, and so severe were the injuries
he received that he expired in a few minutes. Those tem-
perance bands are a great nuisance on the Sabbath day.
POOR OF IRELAND.—When the House was in Com-
mittee on Wednesday night in the Commons, Mr. Smith
informed the House that there was funded in the 31 per
Cents. a sum of about £lB,OOO, the surplus of the sub-
scription of 1822 for the relief of the destitute poor in
the western and South-western counties of Ireland.

IRISH NATIONAL BOARD OF EDUCATION.—By the
ninth report of the Commissioners of National Education
in Ireland for 1842, it appeared that the national schools
had increased, during the year, from 2.337 to 9.721, and
the children on the rolls from 281,842 to 319,792; the
number of children having tripled since 1833, and that of
the schools being nearly fourfold.
AFFLICTING OCCURRENCE.—Two young gentlemen,
of the names of Acton and Drouvht, having spent the day
on the mountains, grouse-shooting, were returning home
to Glencarrig on a jaunting-car, one on either side, when
Mr. Acton's gun went off, by some fatal accident, lodging
the contents in his right breast; he was conveyed to a cot-
tage convenient, and surgical aid immediately procured,
but without effect, as he only survived two hours.—Dub-
lin Mail.

The great meeting of Protestant Ulster will take place
on the day and in the manner originally appointed. We
believe it will be better thus than otherwise; for Pro-
testantism is as unostentatious of its strength as it is firm
in its resolution ; and deliberation being the essence of the
movement, this point will be better achieved in a large as-
sembly-room than at an out-of-door meeting. The room
selected for the occasion will accommodate five thousand
persons; admission will be by ticket; every convenience
for reporting has been provided ; and the Most Noble the
Marquis of Downshire has consented to preside in the
chair.

THE EPEALERS.—The sceneof the usual weekly Sab-
bath desecration on Sunday week was Roscommon, where
we are informed that 200,000 persons (repeal arithmetic)
were congregated. Lord French, and several gentlemen
of that name, were in attendance, with scores of priests.
There is not one particle of novelty in the proceedings,
nor a line in Mr. O'Connell's speeches worth reporting.
At the usual Corn Exchange meeting on Monday, there is
just as little worth alluding to, except the amount of the
week's rent, which was announced at £1,138 Bs. 7d., and
the meeting adjourned to the following day to enable Mr.
O'Connell to pour out some billingsgate on Lords
Brougham and Beaumont.

DEATH OF MR. RICHARD Pim.—With the deepest re-
gret we announce the death of Mr. Richard Pim, super-
intendent of the mechanical department of the Dublin and
Kingstown Railway. He had been labouring under se-
vere illness for some months, but within the last few
weeks improved so much in health as to be able to take
carriage airings every day. On Saturday he drove out as
usual, and seemed improved in strength and spirits, but
it pleased an inscrutable Providence to release him at an
early hour yesterday morning from his earthly sufferings.
An effusion of blood on the brain was the immediate cause
of his death.—Dublin paper.

DARING OUTRAGE BY TWELVE AIMED MEN.--On
the night of Saturday last, the 19th instant, a party of
men, twelve in number, armed with guns, blunderbusses
and pistols, broke into the house of a man named John
Carroll, residing at Rathmore ; they effected their entrance
by breaking the door. They pulled Carroll out of his bed
and beat him in the most savage manner, and inflicted
some severe wounds on his head and body ; they broke all
the furniture the poor man was possessed of, and brought
him out of his house for the purpose, they said, of shoot-
ing him—but fortunately he made his escape by taking to
his heels. The parties then pursued, but he succeeded in
his escape, having nothing on but his shirt, and got shelter
in a neighbour's house, a mile distant, almost lifeless from
the loss of blood. The only cause that can be assigned for
this outrage on Carroll is, that some short time back he
summoned some persons for stealing timber from Mr.
Synge, of Rathmore Castle, and to whom Carroll was
herd.—Nenayh Guardian.
BURNING OF A BoAT.—A most daring outrage was
perpetrated near Carrick-on-Suir on Monday morning.
The facts are these :—A. boat, the property of Patrick
Wall, of Carribkbeg, was maliciously set on fire by the
boatmen and burned to the water's edge. Wall built the
boat in opposition to the body, whose rules will not permit
a new boat to be built unless an old one is broken up and
purchased to build the new one from. This boat was lying
at the quay for the last month, and Wall was deterred
from working her from threats, ezo. On Monday morn-
ing, about seven o'clock, he had four car-men with horses
to haul her to Clonmel for a load of corn, when about
forty boatmen assembled at the quay, beat the haulers and
men working the boat unmercifully, took the boat into
the middle of the river, and set her on fire. Informations
