SiR-The long and much-talkcd-of ward elections are over, and perhaps we may Late peace in the town for some time. Among the returns I was not a little pleased to learn that Sir Bovjamin M. Wall held a high place. Honor to the burgesses of the Custom-houae ward they have done their duty nobly and well by retarning two honest followers of the lamented Liberator, in the person of Sir Benjamin and Captain Hcarn and in doing so they have gone far towards wiping away the stain which the burgesses of the south ward cast on the city by their rejection of Sir Benjamin at the previous ward elections but as they have reflected so much credit on themselves by their discernment, they should not stop there. They have another duty to perform in a few they will be called on to elect an Alderman in the room of Alexander Sherlock, Esq.

Now, sir, let them finish the work they have so nobly begun let the men of the Custom-house ward the most independent the most patriotic, and the most extensive ward in the city, confer on Sir Ici.j tmin the highest honor in their giving, and restore him to the place he previously held in the Council.

CHILDREN'S TEETH CAREFULLY ARRANGED POO 11-HWS MEETING IN DUNGARVAN From our Reporter.) On Sunday last a meeting of the repeetab'e and influential rate-payers of this town was hold the chapel yard, for the purpose of memorialing the Poor-law Boundary Commissioners ng-iinst the proposed reduction in tiu arc of taxation of the electoral division of Dungarvan. Amongst thoe present were Messrs. Andrew Cuibery, Kerin, S.I., Edward Dwycr, C. OBrien, Wm. Sheehan, Jas.

Byrne, James Sweeney, Jeremiah Morrissy, Richd Byrne, P. Walsh, J. Creuan.Ed-ward jKenrfick, Maurice Higgins, John Power, Andrew Cartery, was called to the chair, and on ttking it he explained the object of the meeting, briefly, but clearly. lie said it was in contemplation by the Boundary Commissioners to It sscn the area of taxation or valuation of the electoral division of Dungarvan from 21,000 to 13,870. This would ruin the rate-payers of Dungarvan.

Mr. Christopher O'Brien proposed the first resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Walsh, and was to the effect, that the proposed limitation of the area of taxation of the electoral division of Dungarvan would ruin and reduce to pauperism the rate-payers of this district, and that a memorial, signed by the rate-payers, bo forwarded to the Boundary Commissioners, praying of them not to carry out the proposed reduction in the valuation of this electoral division. THIS DAY'S MAIL. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE Sept.

28. The excitement relative to the arrival of teNep tune with convicts continues u.iabated. The Anti-Convict association have addressed powerful appeals to the Governor to iuduce him to send them away, but he refused to take upon himself that responsibility. The following is the pledge which the inhabitants are rigidly observing That until satisfactory assurances shall be given by the Governor that the Neptune, with her prisoners, will leave these shores no supplies of any description will be furnished to that ship, or for her use or to any public department in whose: harge she may he or to any public department in the remotest degree implicated in her detention and all connection with any per-son'who may assist in landing, supporting, or employing these convicts, will be dropped." The African Advertiser says, The people deny the existence of the right which he (the Governor) has usurped, of making the Cape a Penal Settlement. They declare plainly that they will not submit to the execution of his unconstitutional decree.

They require no answer. They will wait for none." A deputation remains permanently at Simon's Towu to see that the pledge is honestly obscivcd. The Governor has thought proper to place himself in a state of siege, the guard at the entrance to government gardens having been doubled, and some additional sentries posted in the lanes leading to government house. The Governor (Sir Harry Smith), despite the remonstrances cf the people, has issued a proclamation, stating his determination to retain the Neptune the harbour till the receipt of home advices. AMERICA.

The Hihernia, Captain Lang, arrived in Li. verpool on Wednesday morning from New York and Halifax, after a passage of a little under 14 days from'the former port, and by her we have received our files of papers from New York, to the 11th, and Halifax to the 17th both inclusive. At Montreal, on the Sth the Annexation Association held a public meeting, but from the accounts iu the newspapers, it docs not appear to have been very numerously attended--not more than from three to 500 having been present at any onetime. There were, however, present a number of the members of the provincial parliament, nnd'a scries of resolutions were adopted. The ground touched upon by the speakers was the same as the Montreal manifesto, and the resolutions merely an echo of the same sentiments.

Perhaps it would be well to give in full cne of the resolutions adopted. "Resolved That our stute of colonial dependence can only be prolonged at the sacrifice of our most valuable interests, and that this meeting, considering the social, commercial, and political difficulties of Canada, and feeling the weight of the evils that oppress our society, believes that the only attainable measure capable of permanently improving our condition consits in a peaceable separation from Great Britain with her consent, and the annexation of Canada to the United Another resolution was the for mation of an association to be called the Annexa tion Association. The feeling in favour of annexation appears to be rapidly gaining support in tha eastern townships, the Untisli American League, by the ground it has taken, has already diminshed in influence. ABDICATION OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA. Paris Moxday Evening.

News was received this morning that the King of Prussia had abdi cated iu favour of las nephew the Piiuc? Koyal. This intelligence has caused a great deal ol ex citement, and most certainly formed the main topic of consideration 111 the Council ot Ministers which assembled at eleven o'clock. Whether the resolution of the Kins has been taken for the pur pose of enabling his successor to smooth down the difficulties which are springing up with Austria, caused by the rival efforts of both powers to att.in supremacy in Germany, or for sake of enabling some new policy to be adopted, are questions which engaged speculation.

I am told that the new coramanaer-in-niei has been intrusted with a letter from the Presi- dent of the French Republic to the i'ope. as yet know nothing of its contents, though we suspect it is but the 6equel of the famous epistle to Captain Ney. If the tone tf the letter be that of reproach or menace, the Pope will cross his arms and scarcely deign to notice it. If it be inspired by tho soothing system, the Supreme Pontiff will inquire, Why has the coup d'etat been made, and the only man in whom I bad confidence removed LORD CLARENDON'S SECRET SOCIETY IN DUBLIN. Lord Clarendon has been holding communication with an illegal society in Dublin for upwards of ten days.

The Grand Orange Lodge, with its secret signs and pass-tcords, has been plotting with his Excellency during' the whole of that period. This may seem strange, but it is a fact. Were any other illegal assemblage of delegates but Lord Clarcndou's pet grands" to meet in Dublin, and hold, by means of secret signs and nns the city would be at once put in harness to exercise the city of such dangerous Cutaline.

Wc (says our correspondent) are informed that one-third the paupers of the entire Union arc chargeable to the electoral division of Dungarvan. If this be conect, 13,870 is not a fair allotment of the valtiatiou for this division and conse quently the proposed alteration in the area of taxat on is an oppressive injustice to the rate payers of this town. It is not just on the part -f the landlords, now that they have got rid of the surplus population" on their estates oy extcr mination to shift their fair proportion of the sup port of the poor, whom their clearance system has pauperised, frcm their own doors and place it on the hardworking shopkeepers of Dungarvan.
