LIMERICK ELECTION.-011 Tuesday, Mr. Jas. Kelly,
a " backbone " Repealer, was duly elected a representa-
tive for the city of Limerick, in the Imperial Parliament.
Sir Howard Douglas voted in favour of the second
reading of the Government Railways Bill, on Thursday
night; Mr. Entwisle being one of the tellers against it.
BLESSING OF A CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT.--.
Last year the poor-rate for the town of Manchester was
4s. in the pound, but for the current year only 3s. ! show-
ing a saving of the small (?) amount of something ap-
proaching £35,000. Rather significant this, particularly
to the middle classes of the community.
ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—Mr. J. S. Balls, the fa-
vourite light comedian, takes his benefit to-night ; and, if
we may judge of the estimation he is held in by the public
by the unbounded applause that is nightly bestowed on
his performances, we would say it will be deservedly well
attended. The bill of fare is exceedingly attractive.
EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES.—It appears
by a tabular statement in the New York Herald of June
24th, that the arrivals of emigrants from the Ist to the
24th of that month amounted to the extraordinary num-
ber of 13,683 ! Of these about 3000 are from this cowl-

try, and the remainder chiefly from Germany.
At a general meeting of the Jockey Club, on Saturday
last, the following resolution was passed ;—"That it being
now proved that Running Rein was three years old when
he ran for the two-years old plate at Newmarket, Creno-
line must be considered the winner of that race, and that
the Duke of Rutland is entitled to the plate."
GRATIFYING AND DESERVED TESTIMONIAL.-011
Monday last, at the Farmers' Arms, Park-Road, a hand-
some silver cup was presented to Mr. Abraham Bellis, by
a few rate-payers, for his valuable and faithful services to
the Township of Toxteth-park, of forty years standing-
This is the second piece of plate presented to him, from
the same place, in the short space of four years.
AMERICAN ICE.—It will be seen by a❑ advertisement
in our paper of to-day, for the sale of this article, that an
agency has been established in this town. It is from
Wenham lake, a sheet of pure spring water, of about
400 acres, situate about 18 miles from Boston, which is
for the most part frozen to a thicknes of two feet thick.
The superiority of this novel article is acknowledged On
all hands.

POCKET-PICKING OPPOSITE THE TOWN.•HALL"'
SPEEDY JUSTlCE.—Yesterday, about one o'clock, at the
Police-court, a boy, named Joseph Smith, was brought
before Mr. Rushton, charged with picking the pocket of
a gentleman near the main entrance of the Town-bell'
It appeared that while the crowd which had been standing
at the end of Castle-street opposite the portico all the
forenoon, in expectation of obtaining a sight of the King
of Saxony, the prisoner was seen by a police-officer 10
plain clothing to attempt to pick the pockets of several of
the by-standers, and finally got possession of a silk band:
kerchief from a gentleman's pocket. When taken hold 01
the article was found concealed under his arm. He was

committed to the House of Correction for three monthS.
BIRKENHEAD Does. BILL.—On Tuesday, Mr. Hill,
who had been about to address the Lords in reply for thi,
bill, was informed that there was no occasion for him to-
have that trouble, but that their lordships would hear his°
or other counsel on any clauses that might be introduced.
and an order was made that the respective counsel should
furnish the promoters of the bill, in the course of the
evening, with the clauses they wished to introduce. It is
not the practice of the Lords to announce the preamble of
a bill to be proved, as in the Commons ; the announce-
ment they made is, however, equivalent. The clauses of
the bill were then considered in committee, and it Was
expected that the report would be presented to the House
of Lords last night, when the bill would be proposed to
be read a third time.
FIRST APPEARANCE OF REPEAL OF THE UNION nnorr
AN ENGLISH H USTINGS.—Friend Joseph Sturge, in hisad-
dress to the electors of Birmingham, among his claims
for their " most sweet voices,' put forward the following
declaration :—" The suppression of peaceable public meet-
ings in Ireland, and prosecution of those patriots who le-
gaily sought to obtain justice for her people, is one of the
most flagrant attempts, in the history of modern times, to
destroy the constitutional rights of the British nation.
Ireland is not only entitled to demand the management of
her own affairs by means of a domestic legislature, but, in
my opinion, such a measure would really promote the in-
tegrity of the union." This, we believe, is :the first al3,r,
pearance of Repeal upon an English hustings : we shoo
see how it will befreceived.
MILITARY FUNERAL.—A soldier of the Royal Arta:
lery, on furlough, having died in the Military Hospital,
was buried, on Sunday last, in St. James's Cemeter9l
with military honours, shewing that, though he died
among strangers, his remains were not committed on'
honoured to the earth. The men of the 6th Regiment
formed the firing and funeral party, and the band of the,
Local Companies, (Pensioners,) by the permission 0'
Captain Ewing, contributed their share of sympathy hi
performing the solemn music of the Dead March. T 136
sappers and miners, under Lieut. Hanelly, the various re'
cruiting parties, and upwards of sixty rank and file of the
Local Force formed the procession, shewing the regard
that the old soldier, who has done his work, can feel for
those that have yet to do it. The whole was under the
direction of Lieut. Cowell, District Staff Adjutant.
CHEAP TRIP FROM LONDON TO LIVERPOOL.—""
understand that a cheap railway trip is likely to take
place from London to Liverpool and back in the ensuing
month, under the management of the contractor for the
Liverpool and London trip, thus giving the teeming(
thousands from the great metropolis an opportunity
visiting and viewing the wonders of the manufacturing
districts, as well as enjoying the delightful and romantil
scenery of Wales with its splendid Snowdon, the heant':.
ful lake district, and also shaking hands with their Scotch
and Irish neighbours. From what we know of the desirre
of the Cockneys to see all that is to be seen during till
fortnight's trip we shall have thousands of them ramblio
amongst us and spreading themselves all over the coup'
try.

'NEW ATTRACTION AT THE ZOOLOGICL GARDENaIA
—The grateful showers of the past week have producvi
an enlivening effect upon these beautiful gardens ; an
s
the rain of yesterday, in particular, imparted to them
freshness, which was gratefully felt by those visiting thet:
after emerging from the hard and hot pavement of o
town. In a3dition, however, to this attraction, a furtilt.,
source of amusement was yesterday provided by theftf
