 tions condemnatory of Sir J. Graham's proposed Bill

Windsor.— On Saturday Baron Talleyrand, the Count 

 ddj Noailles, and M. de Rabaudy, arrived at Windsor, 

 from the French Embassy, fur the purpose of having an 

 interview with Mr. Clarke, the Mayor, having been com- 

 manded by His Majesty Louis-Philippe to present him 

 with the sum of 5000f. (200/.) to be distributed am... ( 

 the poor and necessitous of the tosvn during the ensuL a 

 winter. Two gold snuff-boxe3 have been presented from 

 the King of the French to the inspectors of police who 

 were on duty at the Castle during the visit of His Ma- 

 jesty. The female domestics also connected with the 

 suite of apartments occupied by His Majesty, were like- 

 wise presented with valuable nogs set with diamonds and 

 other precious stones.— On Tuesday, as Prince Albert was 

 galloping through the Great Park, towards the Castle, fol- 

 lowed by his German groom, the horse on which the latter 

 was riding dashed among the trees, and carried the groom 

 against a projecting branch, by which he was brought to 

 the ground severely injured. The horse was a vicious 

 animal, and after knocking down the son of a gentleman 

 residing in Windsor, but, fortunately, without injury, was 

 secured just before it reached the lodges in the Frogmore- 

 road. The Prince was not a a are of the accident until 

 after he had reached the Castle. 



Yarmouth.— On Tuesday a poor woman, named 

 Candler, who kept a flour and grocery shop in Market- 

 row, in this town, was murdered in the most cruel man- 

 ner. When found, she was lying in her shop quite dtad, 

 her throat having beeu cut with a table-knife, while her 

 hands were pinioned; the till had also been robbed. 

 The Jury, at the inquest, returned a verdict of Wilful 

 Murder against some persons unknown, but the magis- 

 trates ^have apprehended some bad characters living" in 

 the neighbourhood, and it is believed that they have'ob- 

 tained a clue to the discovery of the murderer. 



York.— The Archbishop of York has issued a pastoral 

 letter to the clergy of his diocese, on the subject of col- 

 lections for the extension of education on the principles 

 of the Established Church. His -Grace states (hat the 

 rapid increase of schools, which is happily taking place 

 throughout the country, renders it a matter of pressing 

 and paramount importance to the spiritual interests of 



tram tor first-bias's carriages only, to perform the distance 

 between Ex r and London in five hours.— In conse- 

 quence of the prelim: ry arrangements of the direct 

 Windsor Railway hav been commenced at so late a 

 period, Friday being the last day for giving the usu 

 notices in the Gazette, and so many questions and inte- 

 rests of a delicate nature being involved, the provisional 

 committee came to the following resolution:— " That 

 inasmuch as the committee, after the gn at diligence 

 and anxiety, have not hitherto obtained the definite consent 

 of the Crown to their undertaking, so as to enable them 

 to proceed to Parliament in the ensuing session, they 

 have found it necessary to adjourn their further proceed- 

 ings until the subsequent session, when they truat they 

 shall be enabled more completely to carry into eifect the 

 intentions of the promoters of the project ; and that the 

 secretary be requested to send a copy of this resolution 

 to the subscribers, who will receive intimation of future 

 proceedings at the earliest moment." Account! reached 

 town last night from Nottingham, stating that an accident 

 occurred on Thursday on the Midland line at Oeestou, 

 about four miles from that town. At 10 minutes to 

 3 o'clock, the London train came into collision with a 

 Derby train, and the result was awful. The stoker of 

 the London train, aud four passeugers, are reported to 

 be dead ; and many others severely wounded. The 

 confusion, the dismantled engines, the broken carriages, 

 but above all, the cries and groans of the unfortunate 

 sufferers were represented as most appalling. 



[18U. 



-In the Court of Queen's Bench last week, 

 ion of Sir C. O'Loghlan, the Court ordered 



8 P - -- 



the diocese to provide methods superior to those which 



have been hitherto in use for training teachers of youth. 

 There is not as yet any permanent establishment for the 

 training of schoolmistresses, an object of scarcely less 

 importance than the training of masters. On these ac- 

 counts it is proposed to appropriate the present training- 

 school at York to the former purpose, and to erect a new- 

 one for the latter. The cost of obtaining an adequate 

 site, and of erecting a building sufficiently commodious 

 is estimated at 8500/., of which a contribution of 3500/. 

 has been promised by the Committee of Privy 

 Council, if the remainder can be raised in the dioceses. 

 The ac:ual funds of the York Diocesan Board of Educa- 

 tion are altogether inadequate to furnish the quota of 

 2o00/., the share which the diocese of York is called on 

 to contribute towards the undertaking. His Grace there- 

 fore lecom mends to his clergy that a general effort should 

 be made throughout the diocese to obtain donations for 

 a building-fund, as well as an increase of support to the 

 permanent expenses of the institution.

 about to re-establish the courts of arbitration, under 

 whose authority the laws of the country are to be heucc- 

 forth dispensed. He has announced this intention in a 

 letter to Dr. Gray, the editor of the Frcttn m, to whom, 

 hs the original projector, is intrusted the task of " work-

 Crawford has published two more letters on the affairs of 

 Ireland, advocating the plan of Federalism. Mr. Craw- 

 ford's letter is adverted to in a letter from Mr. O'Connell 

 iiich was read at the Repeal Association, and will be 

 found below. — The v kiy meeting of the Association 

 took place on Monday, Mr. Clements, barrister, in the 

 chair. Mr. M. O'Connell inttoduced to the meeting 

 Ir. Ringrose, of London, who handed in 10/. 13s. from 

 the Maze Ward, and 5/. 2s. from the St. Patrick Ward, 

 and then addressed the meeting. He bore testimony I 

 the ardour and zeal of the Repealers of London, and 

 declared that they would never relax in their exertions 

 till the object for which they were contending should be 

 achieved. Mr. M. O'Connell moved a vote of thanks to 

 the subscribers, and highly eulogised the spirit and indo- 

 mitable Jove of country by which their friends in London 

 were actuated. During the last year they had re- 

 mitted 1900/. to the Association, and he expected that at 

 the termination of the present year it would be much 

 more. lie regretted to say that latterly a spirit of insub- 

 ordination had manifested its ' in several quarters of 

 London, and he had the disagreeable duty of moving the 

 expu n of an individual who had acted in such a man- 

 ner as to render it impossible for them to continue his 

 name any longer on the books of the Association. They 

 were bound to preserve the unity of the movement, and 

 therefore he was under the n ity of moving that the 



line of Mr. Humphrey should be struck off the list of 

 Repeal-wardens. The resolution was then put aud car- i : or : fv n > 



the meeting the following letter from the Liberator to 

 Mr. Ray : — 



" I have just recei the Eoe. - Freeman of the 14th, con- 

 taining Mr. Sharman Crawford's J letter. I, of course, sub- 

 mit it to the consideration of the Assc ciation ; but I cannot 

 ailow one post to elapse without e sin* my deep regret 



tuat it d.ies not. in my hui judgment, contain one single 



principle or matter of detail w: ou-ht or could be adop'ed 

 by h people in their uobie struggles for the restoration 



of Irish nationality. I may be greatly mistaken, but, as far as 

 I can form a hasty o; on, Mr. Crawford's plan seems to me 

 to be an elaborate scheme to make matters worse than y are 

 at pi at, aud to redoc ! Ireland from a nominal equality with 

 Enirl t to a real and vexatious provincial degradation. But 

 there is one thing quite certain, and that i--, that Mr. 

 Crawford should be treated with the utmost court and 



respect ; nothing p< nal, nothing offensive, should be 

 said to him or of him; his plan should be discussed in 

 language of perfect politeness and unmixed civility; he 

 should be argued with— reasons should be given for the con- 

 demnation of his scheme of legislation— no cry should be raised 

 —no nickname, as*F< leralis*,' should be given— that name 

 itself should be treated with bi coming regard ; and if the Asso- 

 ciation agree with me in the rejection of hit Federalism, let ua 

 do it in a mode which - i-ct no p: or create irritation; 



above all, let us do nothing which could discourage others from 

 following the manly exa le be has t" n of laving his plan 

 boldly and in detail before the Irish public. I now beg leave to 

 give notice that I will, on M say, the 25th, move the appoint- 

 ment of a select committee t and report upon Mr. 

 Crawford»a project of Federalism, together with such observa- 

 tions in reply as may a ar requisite or suitable. If it be ob- 

 served that Mr. Crawford has, as usual with him, g e out of 

 his way to make an attack upon me, I heartily forgive him. I 

 bear Ins blow cheerfully. I will not quarrel on my own 

 account with any person or paper uj.til a real Irish Parliament 

 is assc tied in Collage-green, At me who pleases. I will 

 apply all uy attention to the sacred cause of lush liberty— 

 none to the individual. It is a noble cause that in which we 

 are engaged— the restoration of legia a'ive independence— the 

 production of prosperity in our beloved fatheiluud— Hurrah, 

 then, fur Repeal 1" 



Capt. Broderick having hanJed in several remittances, 

 remarked that it was gratifying to observe the zeal which 

 Irishmen, in all parts of the worlJ, were exhibiting in 

 behalf of their suffering country. Mr. M. O'Connell 

 handed in 40/., the second remittance for tbe present 

 year ef the Repealers of Sydney. Thj remittance was 

 accompanied by an address to Mr. O'ConaelL Mr. 

 M'Neviu, Mr. Maher, M.P., Dr. Nsgle, and other?, 

 handed in subscriptions, and after the disposal of general 

 business, the rent for the week was announced to be 337/. 

 Mr. O'Connell left Derrynane Abbey for Tralee on 

 Monday. He was expected to sleep at Newcastle, 

 county Limerick, on the 10th, from whence he would 

 make his entry into Limerick on the 20tb. On the 21st 

 he was to proceed more than half way towards the metro- 

 polis, so as to reach Dublin to dinner on Friday the 

 22d. He is expected to attend the meeting of the Re- 

 peal Association on Monday the 25th.— The Dublin

Cork — A meeting was held in this town last week in 

 favour of the establishment of provincial colleges. AJr. 

 Wyse, M.P. presided, and the following resolution 

 among others was adopted : — "That we recognise in the 

 recent declarations of influential members of Her Ma- 

 jesty's Government an acknowledgment of the want of 

 adequate mean3 to meet the intellectual demands of the 

 couutry, aud an approval of the principles upon which 

 we seek an extension of collegiate institutions by the 

 State ; and that we therefore approach the Throne and 

 the Legislature with sanguine expectations of obtaining, 

 in the next session of Parliament, a legislative sanction 

 for the establishment of the first of all civil institutions— 

 a general system of public education, consonant with the 

 >irit and feelings of the people, and in every respect 

 thoroughly aud permanently national."
