SUNDAY'S GALE.—Great fears having been entertained
for the safety of the packet ship Jamestown, Capt. Trask,
which sailed hence to New York on Saturday, the 26th
instant, a few hours previous to the late gale of wind, we
are glad to have it in our power to say that the ship was
all right on Sunday morning at eight o'clock. being then
between Point Lynas and the Skerries, with .the wind
S. S. W., and the ship under close-reefed topsails.
GAME AND POULTRY.—Those wanting good and cheap
poultry should visit Mr. Johnson, of Queen-square.
FRENCH PLANTS.—In order to ensure the excellence
and healthiness of the plants advertised in our paper to-
day, by Messrrs. Martin and Co., the importer has now
offered them on terms most equitable. viz., that he will
not ask payment until they are thoroughly proved by
flowering, &c. This is paving a way for his return next
year.
NEW LECTURE BY MR. BUCHINGHAM.—Our readers
will perceive, by an advertisement in this day's paper,

" Unjust Taxation," " A New Budget," " Fewer Hours
of Toil," and "Lighter Burdens for the Masses." At
the pruent moment these are topics that affect the wel-
fare of all classes, and deserve, therefore, the serious
, attention of all who can find leisure to attend.
