NATIONAL DEBT TO O'CONNELL
was necessarily Postponed as a proper and convenient moment for effecting
that imperative word. The interval is sufficient for settling the requisite
preparatory organization on foot to secure to the effort in every instance
the greatest possible amount of success, according to the means of the
several Parishes and the vast utility of taking advantage of it for this
purpose is deferentially impressed upon the respected and patriotic Clergy,
and active lay supporters of the measure, in the different Parishes still
outstanding.

Jan 10, 1840 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE ANNUAL CHARITY SERMON
IN AID OF THE
ORPHAN'S BREAKFAST INSTITUTE
LOMBARD-STREET
WILL BE PREACHED IN THE CHAPEL OF
ST. NICHOLAS, GALWAY,
AT TWELVE O'CLOCK
ON SUNDAY THE 16TH INST., BY THE
REV. DOCTOR WINTER, O.P.
After which a Collection will be made for the support of
One Hundred and Eighty poor little Boys
Who Receive
A DAILY BREAKFAST
IN THAT HIGHLY INTERESTING ASYLUM OF CHARITY The important benefits, which the above Institution has, for the last ten
years, conferred on the poor of Galway, are so well known and acknowledged
by all classes and creeds, that the slightest apprehensions are not
entertained for its being now forsaken by that generous public to which,
under provinence, it owes its existence.
For it is presumed, that in a land, proverbial for its charity and
hospitality, (even unto strangers,) the cries of One Hundred and Eighty poor
native little ones are, too piercing not to be heard--too pressing not t obe
responded to; particularly by teh benevolent citizens of Galway, whose
habitual acts of charity render the exercise of alms-giving as pleasing and
almost as unnecessary as the natural function of respiration.
Were learning and talents of a superior order in a preacher, necessary to
rouse the latest sympathies of the human heart on behalf of the suffering
innocence, the Rev. Gentleman, who will have the kindness to present himself
on this occasion, is acknowledged to possess those qualifications in an
eminent degree-but independently of this consdieration, the cause that he is
pleased to advocate is one, that must be ever triumphant in principle and
productive in its claims of patronage and support.
The unprecedented number of poor children on the Establishment at
present-the crowds of little applicants for relief-the low state of the
funds-the high prices of provisions-the dead letter of the poor law-the
threatening aspect of the season-all rush on the mind in fearful combination
and loudly proclaim that exertion, extraordinary exertion and universal
co-operation on the part of the public are particularly called for to avert
the horrors of utter destitution.
It is confidently hoped that the country gentlemen, who cannot attend the
Sermon, will give a practical proof of their commisseration for the porr
little Orphans' and not throw the whole burden of their support on the
Shopkeepers and Traders of the Town, whose doors and hearts are open to
their suffering fellow creatures.
Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the Right Rev. Doctor BROWNE,
the Rev. Preacher, the Clergy of the Town and the Messrs. John GUNNING, P.
CLAYTON, John KIRWAN, Timothy MURRAY, John COSTELLO, Edward GOOD, William
BRADY, and by the Treasurer P.J. O'CONNOR, and his brethren of the
Monastery, Lombard-street.

INQUEST- On Monday last an Inquest was held by Thomas WALSH, Esq. Coroner at
Gort, on the body of a woman named Bridget HIGGINS. It appeared in evidence
that she and her husband parted about 15 years ago since which period she
has supported herself by hawking goods through the country for sale, but the
danger of starvation of late took possession of her mind, and fearing that
she could not procure the common necessaries of life, in a fit of despair it
is supposed, she hanged herself. The jury returned a verdict of "Temporary
Insanity."
ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN WILLIAMS
Sunday afternoon, as Captain WILLIAMS, of the 17th Lancers, was driving in a
tilbury through Marcourt-street, in the direction from Portobello barrack to
the city, the horse, a very spirited one, took fright and ran away down
Stephen's-green, West, with the most headlong velocity. In attempting to
check the animal's careen, the rein snapped asunder. In this dangerous
emergency the gallant officer attempted to rescue himself from teh imminent
peril that threatened by getting over the back of the vehicle. We regret to
state that in so doing he was pitched violently on the street, and had his
collar bone fractured. The sufferer was conveyed to his headquarters at
Portobello barracks, where he at present remains.
Captain WILLIAM's troop, which he was to have accompanied, marched hence
yesterday morning for Belfast. BALLINASLOE
Like all other parts of the country, the poor in this neighborhood are
suffering much from the want of fuel; turf has been raised to enormous
prices, and any that comes to market is quite wet. Were it not that the Earl
of Clancarty has given timber and branches to the poor at very low prices,
the lower orders about her would be in a deplorable state for fuel. The
Dowager Lady Clancarty, not merely at this season but during the whole year,
gives potatoes and meal to a great number of families which at the present
season renders invaluable service to many families. Fever is much on the
decline here. The foundation of the Poor House is built, and should the
weather continue fine, the building will be proceeded with very quickly. The
foundation will be six feet above the level of the river, which is
immediately behind it.
At present there are 220 lunatics in the Asylum here. The Asylum is
undergoing repairs, in consequence of the injuries sustained by the storm of
January last. The expense of the repairs is 999 l.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Medical Profession.
There is at present a vacancy in a respectable Medical Establishment in a
flourishing Country Town; for a respectable well ad***ted Lad, as an
Apprentice; he will have an opportunity of attending an Hospital and
Dispensary and will be treated in evey respect as a member of the family. A
Fee will be required.
Application will be made to Mr. R.S. SEYMOUR, Ba*naglier.

The living of Athenry, in the gift of the Crown, worth £800 per annum, has
been give to the Rev. Ma** PERRIN. The herring fishery has not as yet been successful. The barque Fergus, of Hull, Captain S. DREE, left Liverpool on the 5th
January, got 50 and 60 west when the vessel sprung a leak, and all heads
with the passengers employed at the pumps for six days, when she arrived in
Galway roadstead; next day she proceeded to New Harbour to be examined. In
consequence of the exertions made by captain and officers of this vessel,
the underwriter is saved from a heavy loss; such conduct ought to be
commended. The barque is now repairing under the inspection of Lloyd's agent
here, Henry TOWNSEND, Esq., and will leave this port in a few days. Queen's Counsel-It is stated that the Messrs. James O'BRIEN, and J.J.
MURPHY, of the Munster circuit, FITZGIBBON and MONAHAN of Connaught, Mr.
DARCY, of the Home Circuit, Mr. MURPHY, Assistant-Barrister, county Cavan,
and Mr. BERWICK, Assistant-Barrister, county Waterford, will in a fw days be
called to the inner bar, and appointed Queen's Counsel. The Marquis o' Clanricard's seal, the one stolen by Antonio PERROCCHIA, was
delivered over by the Commissioners of Police on Monday last, to one of his
Lordship's domestics, and by him forwarded, on Tuesday, to St. Petersburgh. There will be only one Quarter Sessions at Gort this year, viz., 16th
October. The Shannon Improvement Commissioners are about to conduct for two dredging
vessels and lighters, to assist their operations on the river.

First Spring Ship for America
The Fine New Fast Sailing Copper-fastened Brig
MIDAS
500 Tons Burthen, will sail from this Port, Wind and Weather permitting, on
the 5th Day of March Next, with Passengers for
ST. JOHN's N.B.
The Midas being seven feet hight between Decks, can afford most worthy and
comfortable accommodation for Passengers. ******* going by this vessel will
have a decided advantage to sailing so early, as they will be certain of
immediate employment on arrival, by which period the Spring business will be
in full operation.
Are there any vessels, constantly plying between New York and St. John's
persons desirous of going to the United States, can get to New York at any
time at a very trifling expense.
An easy application is necessary.
