We stated at the same time that on the 10th the chamber had met to name its president. It ap p.. tha t a stormy debate took place on that day. It was occasioned by a question pot by J. Pats, • member of the left , to the Mi nister of the Interior, Baron Von Szemore, whether it was true that an armistice had again been concluded with the rebellious Serviane, and that Lieut. Field- Marshall Von Ilrabzmaki in Peterwardein had re eased obedience to the ministry. The ministers de dared that they would admit of no interrogatories until the house was organised; upon which the pre sident and two vice-presidents were immediately elected. The ministerial candidate, Von Pazmandig, was chosen president by an immense majority. To wards the close of the sitting the Minister of Finance, Kossuth, demanded that in the next sitting his project of finance should be the first question under debate and decision. This demand was vehe mently objected to by the le ider of the left,Von Madarose, who claimed the priority of the address. The dispute between the two members became so warm that Koesuth was almost beside himself, seized Von Madaross by the arm, and dragged him across the area. The proposition of Madaross was carried by a majority of five. It would seem that the difference between Hungary and Croatia is assuming a more gloomy aspect. It is true that the Archduke John has undertaken the part of mediator, and that immediately after his arrival in Vienna he summoned the Baron Jellachich to appear before him ; the latter, however, does not seem disposed to comply with this summons, and has opened the Diet of Croatia at Agram. The Hungarian ministry insists upon the dissolution of the Croatian Diet, as being illegal, before it will enter upon any negotiation with the Bann. The Diet, on its aide, demands that the imperial manifest of the 10th di rected against the Bann shall be rescinded ; it requires that the Austrian troops in cantonment in Croatia and Sclavonia shall be placed under the Austrian Ministry of War, and that the Archduke Leopold'e regiment of infantry shall be withdrawn. As matters now stand an amicable settlement seems wholly out of the question. With regard to the affairs in Wallachia the Silesian Gazette announces the entrance of 10,000 Russian troops into Jassy on the 14th of July. According to the Swabian Mercury, it is probable that Priem Alexander Ghika will be placed by the National Assembly at the head of affairs in Wallachia, provided the Turkish government revoke his sentence of banishment. On the let instant, Colonel Salomon, who is desirous of becoming minister . of war, had risen up against the authorities in Bucharest, after he had given orders to his armed minimum to tire on the people, six of whom were killed. lie then withdrew to the barracks, where he, as well as his followers, ex pressed the determination to defend themselves to the last extremity. This conduct of the above colonel, who is in the Russian interest, has caused the greatest excitement in Bucharest. The Turks were collecting troops in one of the frontier towns on the Danube, in order to march into Wallachia. All the villages (writes the Miener Zeitting) along the road from Wallachia Minor (Kleine Wallachia) to Siebenburgen, are entirely deserted, the inhabitants having fled with all their goods to the hills. The boyars are also concealing themselves. The Prague elections for the Diet terminated, on the sth instant, in the complete victory of the Czech party, euch men as Palacky, Rieger, and Strohback being returned. Intelligence from Trieste is to the 10th. The Go vernor of Kustenland has addressed the following answer to the despatch sent to him on July 6 by Rear-Admiral Albini, a translation of which appeared in our paper on Tue sday last : To his Excellency Rear-Admiral Albini, Commander of his Majesty the King of Sardinia's squadron in the Bay of Trieste.—May it please your Excellency,--I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your excellency's despatch of the 6th July. I learn with pleasure from it that the orders issued to your excellency by the Sardinian government ar , in spirit, an approach to the public manifesto in regard to free trade on the 7th April, issued by the then resident consul here, by order of the King of Sardinia. I remark also that, - theless, the blockade of the port of Trieste, for the mainte nance of which the ships of war under your excellency's command were destined, is not yet raised. Upon this point it behoves you to take care that, during the continuance of the blockade by the ships under your command, no harm comes to the trading vessels which may sail within your lines, because it is not in my power to protect those ships especially which come from seawards. Albeit, I have made the requisite communication, according to the declaration of your excellency, to those whom it concerns. With reference to the protest of the Ger man confederacy against the blockade cf Trieste, mentioned in th.. , above spoken of despatches, I must protest with all my ' strength against the maintenance of the blockade, as it is contrary to the othcial declarations of the Sardinian govern ment, which declared that instructions had been given to your excellency so far back as the 22nd of last June, to the effect that the free movement of trading vessels to or from Trieste should not in any way be prevented. With regard to the last paragraph of your despcch, I must inform you that as the Emperor of Austria is still at war with the King of Sardinia, any attempted landing from a hostile ship of war on Austrian ground must be repulsed by force.—(Signed) ROBERT ALTORAF VON SALM, Trieste, July 9. This letter is published in the Vienna Gazette, and is followed by a declaration of permission to Sardinian trading vessels from henceforth to enter the harbour of Trieste. FRANKFORT.—Our intelligence from this free city is to the 17th of July. The central provisional power has made known to all the governments of Germany that the Vicar of tl.e Empire had named his responsible ministers, and that the exercise of the rights attributed to the central provisional power had commenced. It has further, in its communication, that it counted upon the active concurrence of all the governments of Germany, which desire to procure for their people the blessings of liberty, independence, and peace. The central provisional power has expressed a wish that the several governments should, in conformity with the law of the 26th of June, 1818, name as soon as possible their plenipotentiaries, with whom it may commence relations. It also put for ward its desire to know, as accurately as possible, the warts of the governments and people of Germar y : and hoped that frank communications to that effect would be made to the demands contained, in which every satisfaction would bv given. With regard to the new cabinet it appears pro bable that if the following nominations are as good as those already made, it may reckon upon a working majority of between 360 and 400, out of 550 usually present. Grave complications, however, are appre hended on the Hanoverian question, and what effect they may produce on the King it is impossible to say. The following are the precise words in which the first chamber of the Hanoverian legislature protested (as stated several days ago) against the recent proceed ings of the Frankfort constituent assembly : ' The national assembly in Frankfort has not been elected in order to place itself over princes and governments, nor ic order to decree, single-handed, a constitution as well as laws which shall be binding on the latter ; but rather in order to treat with the governments, in con formity with the constitution of the Germanic con federation, respecting the establishment of an imperial constitution; and, in the way pointed out by the c en stitution of the confe:leration and the desire of the German diet, to decree a imperial constitution in emu junction with the constitutionally existing govern ment The project of a bill, containing the second chapter of the future federal constitution of Germany, has found its way into one of the Frankfort papers. This project, prepared by Messrs. Dahlmann and Robert Mold, but not yet brought into the house, enumerates the attributes to be given to the defini tive central power. The more important of those attributes are-1. Exclusive right of foreign repre sentation by envoys and consuls for Germany and for the German states. 2. Exclusive right of making peace and war. 3. Exclusive com mand over the armed forces by land and by sea, nomination of the higher officers in the army and of all officers in the navy, the military oath to be sworn to the head of Germany and the German constitution. 4. Exclusive right of constructing or of licensing railways and telegraphs, of inspecting rivers and canals, and of regulating the tone, &c., to be paid on them. 5. The revenues from the customs on all frontiers, and from the mails throughout all the country, and from imperial patents. 6. Exclusive right of coining money, of regulating weights and measures, and of organising the banking system. The indent ndence of each individual state of Ger many with regard to the empire wil remain intact, so far as it is net limited by the rights exclusively at tributed to the central power, All laws and ordi reacts of the individual states which are in opposi tion to the constitution or to the laws of the empire are invalid. WURTEMBERG.—The democratical union in Stuttgard has been dissolved by royal proclamation, ,Y. on the ground that it wu propagating communist and republican principles. Meantime the democrati cal union of Bavaria is extending its branches all over that kingdom. In order to counteract its effects a constitutional club be. also been established. HANOVER.—We have already published the opinion expressed by the national constituent as sembly with regard to the declaration of the First Chamber of Hanover. Protests against the King's manifesto have been numerously signed in Hilde eheim and Oanaburg. UNITED STATES. The following post-office regulation had caused some sensation among the merchants. Although in tended for all foreign packet-ships, they will particu larly, and very materially and injuriously, affect the Cunard line of the Royal Mail steamers. All post ages are to be prepaid, at high rates—newspapers 4 cents each, besides inland postage. It is stated that these rates are tho same in amount as those charged in England on all letters and papers sent by the United States mail steamers; and that the measure is one of retaliation. It is hoped that the two govern ments will soon agree on reciprocal rates of cheap postage, for as the matter now stands, it operates as a heavy tax on the commerce between this country and England ; and, indeed, ;sari paws, with other Euro pean nations. This new regulation will be felt rather severely by American merchants; and the United States government will derive a large revenue from the change: POST.OFFICE, CITY OP NEW YORE, JULY 3, 1848. I have received from the post-office department as order of which the following is a copy, together with the portion of the law of congress referred to.—Hose. M. MORRIS, P M. lw.tructions.—All letters, or other mailable matter, coming into the United States from foreign countries, or going out of the United States to other countries, are re quired to be sent through the post-office at the place of de parture or arrival. The postage. to be charged on all letters going out of the United States to, or through the kingdom of Great Britain or its colonies, or coming from, or through, the kingdom of Great Britain or its colonies, into the United States, by any foreign packet-ship or other vessel, will be as follows, the r ootage(' on the outgoing letters, or other mailable matter, to be prepaid : Oa each letter, not exceeding half an ounce in weight, conveyed between the two countries by a foreign packet. 24 cents ; and for each additional half-ounce or frac tion under, an additional postage of 24 cents; and if con veyed between the two countries by any foreign private ship or vessel, when weighing halt an ounce or under, the postage will be 16 cents ; and for each additional hall ounce or frac tion under, an additional postage of 16 cents each. News papers will be chargeable with postage of 4 cents; each sheet of other prinled matter will be rated as a newspaper. Any violations of the law will be reported with the evidence to the district attorney for prosecution. (Signed) C. JowNeos, P.M. General." BELGIUM.—BaussELs, JUL'r 19.—The Motaiteur of this day contains two decrees. By the first, M. Frere Orban, Minister of Public Weeks, is appointed Minister of Finance ; and by the second, M. A. Rolin, advocate, and communal councillor of Ghent, is named Minister of Public Works, in the room of M. FrereOrban, Minister of Finance. RUSSIA.—THE Cnowta.-00 the 9th inst. there were 3,977 cases of cholera in St. Petersburg. In the pre vious day 574 had died, and 170 had been cured. In Jassy, the deaths through cholera are in the propirtion of Ito 4, ! with respect to the cures ; in Bucharest Ito 3. The cholera • has broken out in Finland, in the district of Salmi. Out of 13 cases 8 had terminated fatally. The epidemy has also manifested itself in Ketholm. TURKEY.—QUARANTINE IN THE LEVANT.—The Superintendent-General of Public Health, of the Ottoman empire, has decided that after the 31st of July only the • sanitary officers of Salonica, the Dardanelles, Smyrna, Bey rout, Tripoli, Barbary, and the islands of Cyprus and Crete, shall have authority to compel vessels subject to them to per form quarantine, whatever be the destination of these vessels. Other officers shall be permitted to impose quarantine only on those vessels which are destined for oae of the points of their respective conscriptions. The Ottoman government has decreed that all for. ign vessels coming from Greece, in Turkey, and carrying bills of health, and delivered by the Greek authorities, shall have these bills countersigned either by their own consuls in Greece, or by a foreign consul, or by the Ottoman consul. In default of the compliance wi h this formality, the said yowls shall be subject to a quaran tine of 21 days on their arrival at the Turkish ports. CUBA. —Intelligence from Ilarannah, oil New York, reaches to the - 23rd of June. All the necessary mate ria's for the construction of en electric telegraph between Ravannah and Matanzas had been completed in the first named city, and the line was immediately to be established ; snd also along all the railroad lines on the island. It is stated that a revolution very formidably organised was about to break out in Cuba. The movement was thoroughly re public,n (slave' excepted), and it was understood that Luba would strike for ind, pendence. The President of the United States had ordered (so it is said) the Golf squadron to repair to the ports of Cuba and Porto Rico, for the pro tection of American interests. The news of the revolt of the negroes in Martinique had caused the governor of Porto Rico to issue a very strong manifesto against any negro de monstrations, punishing a blow against a white man with death, and very slight offences with the lash or years of im prisonment. The disaffected whites complain that, in so doing, he has usurped despotically all the powers of the go vernment in his own person ; in short, it is thought that some pretext will be found fora rebellion io Porto Rico.— From Porto Rico we obtain the following account of the markets on the 101 of June : The demand for sups con tinues slack; sales, however, are continually being made to the vessels loading. The following prices are paid : 17 to 18 rials per quintal for ordinary kinds, and for some as high as 20 rials has been given. The next news from Europe, it is expected, will give an impulse to the sugar market. VENEZUELA.—lntelligenee from Porto Cabello is not later than that previously received, viz., the 10th of June; but some further particulars are given. We have stated that Maracaibo, the last foothold of the friendsof the • constitution, was taken possession of by a division of General Monagas's army on the 30th of May. It appears that the , squadron of the Maracaibo people retired towards the castle , near the bar, with several hundred of the most active oppo nents of the tyranny of Monegas on board. The castle, it was understood, yet remained in the hands of the opposition. • If the information communicated by the so-called govern meat party can be relied on it would seem to be absolutely • imoossible for Gen, Para and other real friends of the constitu tion to succeed in their patriotic endeavours to re-establish it, at least for the present. Business continued dull. Coffee at 6 dole. to G dols. per quintal, and few purchasers even at these low pries. Indigo : none in the market. Miles, Cc. , per lb., in limited demand. Cotton nominal; Sc. per lb. i Cocoa rom 15 dots. to 19 dole. per 110 lbs., according to qua - lite. American flour is now selling at 17 doll. 50c. to , 18 dole. per barrel, cash. IFDr court. Lord J.

BOOKSELLERS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION AND RE- V/SAT.—Yesterday evening • meeting of the board of directors of the above institution wee held at the committee rooms is Paternoster-row. The report congratulated the m•mbers on the increasing prosperity of the institution, and the anxiety evinced by those oonnected with the trade for its success. There are now on the books 476 members. During the past year relief has been afforded to 6 retail booksellers and 12 booksellers auistants, and 3 widows of each of thou classes, to the amount of 2621. 163. 4d., five persons included in this list being permanent annuitants. The whole expenses connected with the institution since its formation in 1837 have not averaged more than 801. per annum, and the sum thus cha ritably distributed during the same period amounted to nearly 1,3001. Upwards of 1,0001. during the past year has been added to the permanent fund, which reaches above 18,0001. In connexion with the above institution • " re treat " for the reception of aged and infirm memb e rs, de lightfully Situate at Abbotts Langley, Ilerta, was opened in 1846. It consists of seven houses, of which at present two only are occupied. IRKLI ND. FURTHER ARRESTS. DUMAN, JULY 19. The metropolis being covered over with proclama tions placing the city under the provisions of the Crime and Outrage Act, attracted immence crowds to the streets last night, but there was not the slightest attempt at disturbance. There were meetings of all the clubs held 'n the course of the evening, at which the proclamations were considered, and it is said that Mr. Smith O'Brien was among the advo cates for non-compliance with the conditions of the act, which require all persons resident within the proclaimed districts to serve notice on the' proper authorities of the arms, pikes, swords, or am munition in their possession, and ask for license to retain them. lie argued that such notices would be tantamount to a general disarmament, and suggested that each confederate should treat the proclamation with contempt. Against this, however, it was urged by some that the police were in possession of the names of all the armed confederates; and if they did not comply, nothing could save them from the conse quences. It was at last settled that each should be tree to act as he thought best for his own safety, ard, if possible, for the advantage of the " cause of Ireland." On Saturday last no less than 26 persons were arrested in Cashel, and committed to Clonmel gaol, by the Hon. Martin French, R.M., charged with a riot, and also with an attempt to rescue Mr. Michael Doheny. The Tipperary Vindicator gives an account of the arrest of some persons at Templemore, charged with drilling and training. Bail has been refused, and the prisoners are committed to Nenagh gaol. Kilkenny was the scene of considerable excitement on Monday, owing to an unfounded report having got abroad that a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Dr. Cane, the leader of the Confederates in that city. The people assembled in great numbers, with a view of preventing the warrant being put into execu. tion; " barricades" were thrown up at one or two points, and it was not until an assurance had been given that the report was a fabrication that the popu lace desisted from hostile demonstrations. A man, of semi-military appearance, who mixed in the crowd, and advised the mob not to let Dr. Cane quit the town, was mistaken for a detective, and only es card summary vengeance through the intervention of the supposed " martyr." Before evening closed t. anquillity was perfectly restored. The intelligence of the rising at Carrick-on-Suir was received all through Tipperary with en-1 thusiasm. On Monday ni g ht the mountains were all in a blaze with fires, from S:ievebloom to Slieve namon, and the peasantry crowded around them in large masses. The cheering along the Waterford range was distinctly heard in Clonmel, and the clubs turned out to do homage to the general enthusiasm. They marched through the town in motions. The military were under arms prepared, if necessary, for repression. A private letter from Clonmel states : The Carrick people, on hearing of the arrest of some of the club members, and the rumour that one of their own curates was marked out for arrest, rose en masse, and with arms in their hands, consisting of rifles and pikes, repaired to the authorities and demanded the release of the prisoners, who were at once delivered up to them. They then rung the chapel bells, when 4,000 men descended from the neigh bowing hills, armed to the teeth, who remained in Carrick all night, lest an attempt should be made to arrest Father Byrne. The delivery of the prisoners and the withdrawal of the few troops were considered as a triumph. There is no mistaking the national feeling. There is a great deal of colouring matter in this statement, and I send it to show how liable to exag gerration reports from this quarter are :—the num ber of rifles and pikes were very few, and as to the bivouack of the 4,000 mountaineers in the market place of Carrick it is all Tipperary romance. From other sources the following facts have been ascertained : three persons in rather humble circum stances were arrested in Carrick on Monday morning. They were office-bearers in the clubs. The Rev. Mr. Byrne, himself a prominent member, of course in terested himself about them, and at once proceeded to the Bridewell. Hence the first rumour of his arrest. The clubs assembled as soon as the news of the arrests spread, and some of them with arms in their hands, and, proceeding to the authorities, it is said the latter did not deem it prudent to refuse a compliance which they seemed strong enough to enforce. Whether the Rev. Mr. Byrne took any part in this movement, or showed any sympathy with it, I cannot tell; but an account reached Kilkenny yesterday in an authoritative shape to the effect that Mr. Byrne was then in custody. The government, along with a strong body of con stabulary, are concentrating troips in Waterford and its neighbourhood. Troops marched yesterday from Wexford in that direction, and from Kilkenny this morning. The place of the latter in Kilkenny is oc cupied by companies of the 73rd, from Carlow. There is artillery both at Waterford and Clonmel. In addi tion to the police force despatched yesterday by the Rhadamanthus steamer, a regiment of infantry is or dered up from Belfast per the Duchess of Kent, chartered for the purpose, and despatched last night Cahir also is to supply some troops of cavalry. Mr. Doheny appears to have spent his time most lyr,cally "in Nenagh gaol. The Tipperary Vindi cator contains a ver-ion of the national anthem "in prison measure," which is not remarkable for force or elegance. After his release from poetry and prison he addressed the Nenagh men in the old style, " Clu..s and arms." The moral force principle, notwithstanding the pre sent excitement, gains ground, and it is to be hoped will finally triumph over clubbism and folly. The Kilkenny deputation, while I write, are closeted with the council of the Irish League, urging on that body the flees ssity of a peaceful and constitutional agita tion. On no other principle will they combine with the league. The catholic bishop and clergy of Derry deprecate all violence, or any alliance or sympathy with violence. They, too, seek to divert the league to a more orderly progress. Dean Burke, of Clon mel, a clergyman of great influence in Tipperary, has written on the same subject, and with great force. THE IRISH LEAGUE. A meeting of this body was held last night, in the Munc hen, Lower Abbey.stri et. The attendance was very nume rous, even at an early hour, the greatest interest having been excited by the announcement that the mayor, a member of the corporation, with several other influential citizens of Kil kenny, had come as a deputation from that important and patriotic city to tender their adhesion, and that of the eiti mins, to the newly.formed association. Long before the hour appointed for taking the chair every part of the building was thronged. Order and decorum prevailed, and not a single policeman was visible in the neighbourhood of the place oi meeting. At shortly alter eight o'clock the chair was taken by the Mayor of Kilkenny, Thomas Hart, Esq. Several hundred new members were proposed. Dr. CA.N•E handed in a list of 1,700 Kilkenny men, in. eluding the mayor of the ci.y, and three magistrates of the city of Kilkenny, with a great number of the cornoratioe of Kilkenny sending in their pound each. Dr. Cage said it was no light cause thit brought tour out of the five borough magistrates, to whom the peace of Kilkenny is confided, here to-night. (Hear.) No ; it was a deep and responsible duty, which pressed into the souls of every one of them. It was this. that oppression of the direst nature, and grievances not to be endured, presses their country to the very earth—denying to their countrymen occupation or employment, casting thou sand• of them into premature graves, and (continued the doctor) driving the bee. of th , z,s, who remained into foreign lands. (Hear.) If all Ireland does its duty, and comes into this League, the British minister and the British par- figment, and my Lord Clarendon—(groans)—must see the property of conceding oar just and constitutional demands. But I would not have you groan any man. No one feels more deeply than I do the wrongs which Ireland has suffered during his administration; but nothing ever yet was gained by offering outrage or insult to any man. We can differ with him to the utmost without showing him anything that would compromise our principle,. No man who differed from us was ever convinced by biases or groans ; and, there fore, let us argue with Lord Clarendon, as we would argue with each other, and he—cold diplomatist though he be— must yield to time, reason, and public opinion. (Hear, hear.) My friends, from this place, I would, as though I were beg ging my life—and no man who talks at public assemblies row knows but he may be pleading for his own liberty and his own life, in seeking to win peaceably the liberties of his; country—from this spot I would appeal to the good and true hearted of every clam, but, above all, to the catholic clergy of Ireland, as they would rescue their flocks from what one day may mew, to come into this league, and de mand from England th.o just and full measure of our rights. The last of Lord Clarendon's acts is the proclaiming of the city and county of Dublin, the city of Waterford and the county of Cork ; and, my friends, I ask you—for I am in utter igno rance of it—what has been the crime ? Where bu been the outr—where has been — the guilt, that has induced the Lord. Lieutenan t to think it expedient to proclaim those counties, and thus abridge the little liberty—God knows it was but little—which was left to the people t True he is en dowed with the legal power to proclaim those counties; but it is a violation of the spirit of the act to put it in force where no crime has been committed. How much nobler a position he would have won for himself if, treading in the steps of the Marquis of Normanby, he had moved amongst the people and sympathised with their sufferings— if, calculating as a statesman ought to do, on the resources of the country, he had proclaimed that our mines should be worked—our fisheries called into life—our manufactures revived—trade once more established in our cities. and tom- merce made to tliuj;;;;; mighty riven. Oh! whit a proclamation that would be ; how history would refer to it in future times as an evidence of the wisdom and humanity of the man. (Cheers.) But lam reminded by a gentleman near me about the reclamation of the waste lands. True, something has been done in the way of reclaiming bogs; but from beginning to end the whole matter has been a job, like the other comprehensive measures of the enlightened whigs. (fear.) Alter some further animadversions on the conduct and administration of the Lord-Lieutenant the speaker proposed the first nip:anion - - - • • • • • That the acts of the English parliament since the legislative union between this country and England, but more especially during its latter sessions, are sufficient proofs of the utter hopelessness of look ing to it either for justice or good government, and that there is no prospect of happinem or prosperity for this country until it Is free from the baneful influence of foreign, hostile, and oppressive legisla tioo. That bitting on this conviction, "The Irish Longue" has been tome I. with the sore view and object of restoring to Irishmen their ancient constitutioe, Queen, Lords, and Commons, by the combina tion of liishern in a course of action at once conwitutional and decided. Mr. LOVOIINAN seconded the proposition, and in the course of his addrtss asked who was there that could deny the expediency, the necessity of repeal for Ireland? What of late had been the conduct of government towards those who advocated repeal ? Arrests were proceeding day after day, one following another; a man was arrested and im prisoned for no other reason than that be formed opt. pions favourable to repeal, and announced those opi nions openly and fearlessly. He was seized on—de prived of his liberty—the form of a mock trial wan gone through—twelve men were placed in the jury boa to pro nounce upon him—twelve men selected because they were known to be the avowed and deadly enemies of the principles he advocated. Was It not absurd—was it not a blot and a disgrace on the country, that such a:system should be resorted to or allowed to continue while a constitutional means was left to end it for ever ? (Cheers.) Would it not he fairer, would it not be more honest and more just, for the English government to fling aside this mockery and say, away with law, away with trial by jury—we will have no more of either in Ireland, and any or every man we choose to imprison or transport for fourteen years—aye, or for lite, that man we will send in fetters from the shores of Ireland, and no one shall dare to ask to why we do so? (Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. O'MALLEY neat came forward. He said much of the public speaking and the public writing et the last few months on the popular side which seemed to have for you the greatest attraction has not been equally success ful in winning over converts to the national cause ; on the contrary, it has repelled many, and whilst it has caused timid friends 0.101 off, it has given Irish stimulus to opponents to pries on more vehemently. (Hear.) We had taken in our impetuosity too advanced a position within point-blank range of the enemy's twelve-pounders, facetiously called by their general jury guns, and exposed, on both flanks and in the rear, to the incursions of hie light infantry, or light fingered detectives. (Laughter.) We have now aban doned, and most wisely, that ialse position, and fallen back upon this league, no left linking itself rapidly might and lilt with branch associations in the provinces, will soon run across the whole face of the loon. (Cheers) Fear not, my friends, that this falling hack behind the entrench ments of the league shall be a falling short of our great en. terprise. No, it will be rather stepping back a few paces to make a higher bound. (Cries of " Hear, bear.") Stand• ing here, then, upon this secure ground, I would easneatly entreat all real repealer', all true patriots, to take to heart these two primary truths—first, the Irish people are now so pledged before the world to the ssaertion of their national rights, that they cannot without disgrace irremediable Teti: quish it. But, secondly, this everlasting agitation of the matter is an obvious hindrance to the consolidation of the elements of our material prosperity. From these two propositions, which are beyond question, the corol lary is inevitable, that whilst the national honour commands us to persevere in asserting our rights, the national interests urge us most pressingly to set about the work in earnest, so that we may accomplish it, and not leave it amid the jeers of all Europe to solve the preblem of " pert etaal motion." (Hear, hear.) Now, ma any man of sense pretend that there is, or can be, any other mode by which we could finish this great work sooner than through this league, offering as it does full ample space for the rail) ing together of our whole strength ? (Loud sheers.) All those who are for " peaceful and legal " agitation have it here. Surely the " union of Irishmen. and the concentra tion of opinion, is peaceful and legal," and those who Malt that it is only by " constitutional action " the league shall make itself felt, must he satisfied now, by the passing of this resolu. ion, which distinctly argues that to it shall be. (Loud cries of " Hear.") Any man, air, that lacks for more than that we may safely set down as a sham repealer ; and it will not be the least of the oenefits of the league that it will give us a happy riddance of all such; but all those of the peaceful school who arc not shams I now call emphatically to join us without delay—even in the name of the peace they prize so highly I invoke them to hasten to our ranks, for every fresh secession of theirs will be a fuller:guarantee that peace shall be preserved. (Hear.) But if, yielding weakly to the sickly influence of a false delicacy or false alarms, they still hold back and leave the field of agitation to the eager and im petuous alone, and if so their holy peace be broken, can they even excuse themselves to their own conscience or to their country? (Hear, hear.) Alter some further ohservati sns the speaker added—We must repeal the union. We must restore to this country its old constitution—the King, L ads, and Commons of Ireland. (Loud cheers.) We are not here to declare war upon the Queen, or to erect the standard of an Irish republic. But it in in the spirit of true loyalty to the Queen I would warn her ministers from imperilling the empire on the game of blind hazard they are playing with the Irish people. (Hear.) .Air. W. S. O'Beirne was then loudly called ter, and on coming forward was received with loud and prolonged cheer ing, which lasted for several minutes. Ile said—lt is now a fortnight since I home, and during that time I have visited the cminty Kerry, and the western portions of the county Cork; and in those remote regions I found as intense ardour, a. patriotic dos two, as have been exhibited here to night. lam enabled to tell the people of Dublin that the men who dwell in that portion of Ireland which has suffered perhaps more than any o'her from the disastrous effects of misgovernment, acting on the visitation of Providence—l mean the di-trict about Bantry—that the men in those parts are prepared to co-operate with you. At Berehaven—the nearest point to Ameriere—(hear and cheers)—at Berehaven I rem ived a similar assurance. At Bantry, Macroom, and Kil larney—in short, wherever I passed, there appeared but one unanimous feeling that the time was come when one simul taneous effott should b- made by the Irish nation to accom plish its freedom. (Cheers) I hope you have read the account of the proceedings in Curk. Th ey . call it a review of my troops. (Chas rs.) Well, lam happy to tell you that I met at least 10,000 ahle-bodied men, who promised to co operate and sympathise with us. A:ter come further account of his travels, Mr. O'Brien went on to say, in refer ence to those who have been convicted of sedition—For these men I claim your sympathy; and row I feel myself again somewhat fettered, and my lips closed, as to the advice which I ought to give : but I call on you deeply to consider what ought to be the conduct of the Irish nation with reference to those men. I ,rust there will be a una nimous determination throughout this laud that these men shall not be subjected to the same jugglery of in justice as John Mitchel, and that the Irish cation will show they are prepared, if necessary, to suffer with them. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman then proceeded to allude to the effect which the coming trials were likely to produce on the funds, and continued—That will be a consideration for the fund holder, of England. I have no desire to damage public credit. Far from it. I believe there is no part of the wcitld in which banking institutions are more firmly based than in this country. There is, however, one question upon which I am bound to relieve my mind, beeante I have been silent upon it for some time. I have come from a county in which I find a very large portion of the working classes have been sufferin very severely from the bankruptcy of mime savings banks; and if any man asks me what chance there will be of obtaining money from the savings banks, I tell him it is my opinion that it will be a very poor chance ; and if this be as- admonition to the government, I trust they will take the hint. I believe lam at liberty to state that I had to-day a lovg con versation with one of the most eminent of the catholic bishops of Ireland—l mean Dr. Match= I believe there is no man among you entertains sounder doctrines with respect to the rights of the people than he does, and though he feels it his duty to forbear entering into any emaciation which may have objects other than constitutional agitation, I be lieve it is the intention of this great prelate, provi ded you pledge yourselves as you have done already to a course of con stitutionnl action not only to present to you his own sub scription, but to send in the adhesion and subscriptions of all his clergy. (Protracted cheering.) Mr. O'Brien con cluded by_p:oposing the following resolution : — ltit - to!c4—Tfulitie arrangements catered into at the late con ference ot repeaters, requiem that the repeal clubs should continue totally independent of this league ' • but this must not be understood to imply any disapprobation of local repeal clubs under proper Mr. J. arenas protoeed the next resolution: — hat the arrests oraietere. Duffy, Met Ether, !triFtan, Dolleny, MAIM, &Doherty, M'Clee, and 11‘;Ilywoixl, and seizure of their prir petty, ea well ea the general policy at present pursued by tea called government of this country, is unjust and despotic, and shell as still further =firma us in our desire to secure the lamed right of wrif.legislation. That, after experience of the summurtitutional and despotic means by which John Iliteltel was deprived of his liberty, we demand for the Irish patriots now In gaol a fair trial by an iM.ifterently chosen jury. If by fraudulent practices a conviction against these men be obtained, we shall regard such an set as utterly subveraive of the liberty of the people, sad calculated greatly to as danger her Majesty's crown and government in this kingdom. Mr. Minna (ef Drogheda) • seconded the resolution. After some introductory observatioes, he said the conning tion of the country had settled that long ago. It was not a question now to be debated—neither was this the time for Ireland to assume a suppliant posture, and beseech as at alms that which she should demand as her undeniable right. The Irish nation, when menaced by the threats of uescrupu- ' loan power, ought to demand her rights with dignity—a dignity becoming a nation. (Cheers.) Now, as to the gen tlemen who had been arrested and imprisoned, and the pro ceedings which had been taken with regard to their pro perty, he (Mr. M'Kenna) believed be was right in saying that there could be but one opinion, even amongst the bit terest opponents to the repeal principle and its advocates — that the course pursued by government was one untenabl e In law, and unjustifiable and disgraceful is the eye of the world. (Cheers.) And now all who felt this gross out rage should unite in demanding for their imprisoned country men at least a fair and an impart:al trial—a trial not by a jury packed and boxed up by fraud and contrivance—not by a jury elected on the " stand aside" system, but by a jury fairly empannelled according to the just principle' of the law and constituticn. (Cheers.) When this oppressive act was first pasted, it was alleged that the law should be the same in Ireland as it was in England in the operation of the act. Now, if the same law was to have an equal operation in both countries, was it not just that ti.e same mode of trial should be adopted in each ? (Hear, hear.) And here he would direct attention to a questien of vital consideration on the coming trial. It was the question of the right claimed by the crown to set aside jurors peremptorily and unlimitedly, without assigning cause. (Hear, hear.) In the English jury act there was a proviso, that in prosecutions where the crown was the prosecuting party, jurors were not to be perempto rily challenged on the part of the crown. The crown was to challenge no juror except for cause assigned. The privilege of peremptory clialenge, though granted to the prisoners, was denied to the le:rig; but in another statute a clause was cunningly inserted, by which it was provided that no previous clause in any enactment should interfere with the " power and custom of the court trying the ease, to set jurors aside without cause. if they so willed." This power had not been exercised since the passing of the statute until recently, and he (Mr. M'Kenna) thought that if it was mtemptid to be put in practice oa the cornixg trials it ought to be put on the court itself to tell the jurors objected to by the crown "to stand aside." (Hear.) There was another important point. According to the statute the jury was neither to be packed nor selected, but it was to be composed of twelve men the equals and neighbours of the accused, indifferently chosen and superior to all suspicion. (Cheers.) Now, he would ask any man who heard him could be say that there was no suspicion in the manner In which the law was carried out in the case of John Mitchel 2 (Cries of " No, no," groans, and hisses.) Had it not been even mid in defence of the proceeding—had it not been ad . mitted in the House of Commons—that the reason that caused jurors to be set aside on that trial was that they were known to be repeal'rs of the union ? ("Hear, hear,"and hisses.) He (Mr. M'Kenna) would like to we such a causes given fcr e challenge in an ordinary court of law. Such a reason woulc be scouted as ridiculous and absurd. But under the con struction of the statute the privilege assumed by the crown had been thus exercised, or rather abused, to the perversion of justice and right. (Cheers.) If such a practice was to be tolerated or continued, life and liberty were no longer cafe in this country, There could he no protection from imprisonment or transportation even fur the innocent—no immunity from the seizure of a man's person with impunity, hie consignment to a dungeon, and perhaps his exile from his native land. Tee property of those gentlemen now in prison was seized, illegally and ure justly seized, while they were unconvicted of any crime. There was, to be sure, a statute empowering the seizure of a felon's goods after conviction, or after judgment by default of appearance. But the Taw recognised every man as innocent until convicted. But what had been done in this case ? A body of policemen invaded a man's house, that man being charged with felonious objects and intentions, and that chsrg founded on the opinion of a p o lice constable or sergeant, ac to the intent of the accused party in writing certain letters or articles. They invaded his house—they took sway his hooks, papers—in short everything they could lay hands on They might as jumly take away and seize on his (Mr hlSKenna's) person, or enter his house and seize on the the niture. But this exertion of arbitrary authority was die played—this gross injustice,was perpetrated—because it was thought that this country was oiviilhd and weak. (Hear.) The meeting be now addressed gave the lie to that suppo sition. That splendid assemblage was an answer to the Clarendon proclamation of that morning—a proclamatier. putting this city, the city of Dublin, under the operation 01 the arms act, and acting as it on the suppositiuu of crime existing among its people, when crime there was none Mr. M'Kenna concluded his speech by seconding the resslu• lion, and retired amidst loud cheering. Mr. JOIIN REA, of Belfast, proposed : That the proclamation by the Lord Lieutenant and Privy (bane of Ireland, published the lith indent, placing Dublin, Cork, Water ford, and Drogheda, under the operation of the act II Vic., cap. 4 enacted for the sucpregion of Mlle and outrage in certain parts of Ireland, at a period when theme localities are perfectly free from crime or outrage, la an uncalled for aggression on our liberties, end calculated to produce the results it pretends to counteract. All the resolutions were carried unanimously. Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY FROM THE GRAND JURY OF Exitax.—Yesterday, an address to the Queen was votes by the grand jury assembled at Tralee, but not without oppost tion. The address first contained a declaration of loyalty to the monarch, and an offer to place the lives and properties of those subscribed to it at her Majesty's disposal. In the second place, it condemned the unhappy imitation carried on in the country as " visionary" in its objects, and denounced the physical force movement which being now organise.. throughout the kingdom, as still aggravating the pre existing evil. The address then proceeds to point out a number ci remedial measures therein proposed for the good of Ireland, such as the extension of railways, the encouragement et fisheries, the improving of harbours, and building of piers, bridges, &e. The address having been proposed and seconded, Mr. 1). Cronin, jun., opposed it, because of the covert attack which it made upon repeal, for he had no doubt in his mi.d that the agitation therein referred to, and described as " visionary " in its object, was intended to apply to the agi tation for the repeal of the union, though the framers of tae address did not openly avow it. He concluded by moving a, an amendment that the address be not adopted.—Mr. D. S. Lswlor seconded the amendment, and added that he thought it useless to petition for anything, for that all their petitions and addresses, and the remonstrances of their grand jury, were treated with contempt—Mr. Hickson thought it use less for them to make declarations against the expression of physical force opinions. A nation of paupers never yet were, and never would be, a nation of loyalists. Political agita. tion was merely as a straw indicating how the current flowed. It was thus that it should be viewed by a statesman. It was in this way the prime minister of England ought to view it. Whether the agitation of the millions was legal or illegal should always depend upon those who guided it. At one time they . saw an agitation confined within legal bounds by a Flat and experienced head ; at another they saw the like agitation conducted in an illegal manner by persons of inexperience and wild enthusiasm ; but the object of the statesman should be to take the laws out of the hands of both parties, which could only be done by remov ing the causes of the agitation. and remedying the evils of which this country had such just cause to complain.—Mr James O'Connell regretted that any address .f a political nature had been introduced into their grand jury. He never was a repealer. Even when his late brother, Daniel O'Con nell, devoted his energies to the repeal agitation, ho was never induced tojoin in it; for he believed that, if carried by popular clamour, it would lead to a state of things still worse, by giving to the lower classes an amount of power which they would certainly abuse. He remembered when the infamous penal code operated in this country. The time was when Its father could not enjoy so mush as a freehold on an count of his religion, when he himself could not be a magis trate or a grand juror. Ile then joined the catholic board, and struggEd for his freedom. It was the commercial classes, and not the catholic aristocracy, for they were crushed and their spirit extinguished, who carried Catholic Emancipa tion. But, as be was now on an equality with his other MI low-subjects, he was satisfied, and would not agitate for a repeal of the union. Again he should express his regre,. however, that any political subj, et had been introduced among them, and he would vote for the amendment —Mr. Fitzgerald then replied. There were some gentlemen smeller the grand jury who complained of what they called a co vert attack upon repeal. Of course those gentlemen were entitled to hold and express their opinions, but that sea. no reason why the majority of that grand jury shoal I alter • their opinions or change the address.—The foreman then put the Question to the vote, when an re appeared 16 for the address and 5 against it. PROVINCIAL. YORKSHIRE. A Swannffi nonoun Or SIR.VINCENT, one of the candidates for York at the last general election, wee given in that city on Wednesday.

OP A A ct p lr eoN ALALlic3:l . ll . Eßlg uis F i O ti ß on T w ll as E E h s e c ld Ar at s Monmouth, before the coroner, to assess damages in as action against the sheriff, consequent on the escape of a pri soner from the custody of Mr. Graham, jun., one of the sheriff's bailiffs. Judgment had been allowed to go by default. It appeared from the evidence adduced that Mr. Graham, jun., in April last, arrested a man named T. Thomas, for a debt of 781. Is. 6d. Ile had been in custody at an inn at Nantyglo for several hours, but he was himself in a different room from that in which his pri.nner was placed. N. restriction appeared to have been placed upon. Thomas, and in the course of the evening he quierly walked away. Ile, in a few days afterwards gave himself up, but the writ having in the meantime been returned by the sheriff he could not bo arrested under it. The present action was, therefore, brought to recover the amount of the debt for which Thomas had been arrested. Evidence was also given to chow that Thomas was in a situation to ; ay the amount of the debt, on the testimony, or rather the belief, of a credi tor, with whom he had had transactions. In chaosing the jury the learned coroner left it for them to a.eeaa, as da mages, the whole amount of the debt, if they thought Thomas had poss. eruct the means of paying it: if that was not their opinion they could give any smaller !UM ; or if they thought him v man of straw, they might give merely nominal damages. The jury were some time considering their verdict, and they ultimately gave it for the plaintiff with 101. damages. ARCHAOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION.—Active exertions are now being mads in Worcester to receive the above asso ciation at the approaching congress, which will last from August 14 to 19. A comakttee has been formed, the use of the Guildhall has been granted, and the public buildings of the city will be opened for the gratuitous inspection of the visiters. The association will also probable take the oppor tunity afforded by this congress of nesking excursions to Mal vern, Breden, and other places of antiqusrian and historical interest to which the invitations of the resident nobility and gentry may lead them. TIIE CHELTENHAM MORDER.—The death of Mr. John Mulcock, fly proprietor, whole body was found in • shallow brook in the suburbs of Cheltenham, and who it is believed was murdered on the night of the late Cheltenham election, is exciting intense interest in that town. The inquest on the body has now been adjourned three times, and still the matter is involved in the deepest mystery The case has already been briefly alluded to in the Express. When deceased was discovered the grass upon the banks of the brook appeared much trampled. The deceased's hand kerchief was off his neck, and his shirt unbuttoned. Deceased did not appear to have been in the water long. The feet were in the mud. There was a mark about the left eye, and some blood had oozed out of it. A medical witness was of opinion that death was not caused by drowning, but by the pressure of fluid on the brain. This might have been caused by concussion of the bvin brought on by blows administered to the parts where extravasated blood was noticed at the back of the neck. The parts being soft, it did not fellow that a fractnre or other injury of the vertebrae would be consequent on blows. He thought the deceased must have been insensible many hours before death. The bruise under the left ear might have been caused by a blunt instrument, or by a blow of a fist. On Wednesday, after several witnesses had been examined, the coroner and jury consulted, and it was decided to adjourn the inquiry again for a fortnight.—A reward is to be offered for the die. covery of the perpetrators of the supposed murder. Alustc. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. leyerbeer's long expected epera " Les Huguenots" was produced lot night at Covent-garden, under the title of " Gli I.lgonotti." On this occaaion the Queen went in state to the theatre. Mag nificent preparations were made for her Majesty's reception. The royal box, fitted up io the centre of the grand tier, had the appearance of a spacious and lofty apartment, brilliantly lighted with chandeliers within it. It wars surmounted by a canopy reaching the height of the second tier; and below it there was a platform for the yeomen of the guard. The royal suite, which was numerous, occupied several of the adjoining boxes. Her Majesty and Prince Albert were received with the usual demonstra tions of loyalty. " Gad save the Queen" was sung with great effect, the principal verses being sung by Madame Can. tellan, Mdlle. Alboni, and Madame Viardot Garcia. Meyer beer'. celebrated opera has been promised since the begin ning of the season ; but the delay in its production is not serprising when it is considered nut only that it is of unpa ralleled difficulty, but that the new Italian vneion contains many alterations from the original, made with the sanction and co-operation of the composer himself. The opera, origi, sally in five acts, has been compressed into lour, with great skill and judgment. Nut a sieele incident or prominent renege has been lost ; but the dialogue, by compression, has trained in terseness arid energy, while the effect of the music is heightened by the omission, in the concerted pieces, of many uuneceasary repetitions. Even atter all this abridg ment the opera is sti.l very long, having lasted till past mid night ; but so intense is the interest of the subject, so full of grandeur and beauty is its treatment, and so admirable was its performance, that everybody, we are convinced, must have felt that it was the reverse of tedious. At this time we can only mention, in an unconnected manner, a few of the features which especially struck us. In the first ecene where Raoul is introduced to the convivialities of the; catholic gentlemen, the romance, in which be relates kis meeting with his unknown fair one, was sung by Mario with exquisite sweetnets. The effect of this air is wonderfully heightened by the delicate viola accompaniment, one of those fine traits of instrumentation, for which Meyerheer is so distinguished. The chorus with which, in the original score, this ballad is intermixed, was omitted. In this scene, the %tern fanaticism and military roughness of Marcel were well expressed by Marini. He looked the character perfectly, and his fine rolling bass gave great effect to the Lutheran corale in which the old Huguenot soldier lifts up his voice against the enemies of his faith. In the " pif pat" song he was less happy ; the song, indeed, is no favourite of ours — its blustering style is not in keeping with the elm racter of Marcel. In the scene which introduces Queers Margaret of Navarre, in the midst of let ladies, the fine air " 0 vago suol eella Turrena," war pettily but somewhat coldly sung by Madame Castilian. The little trio for fe male voices, " Fosche chimere," was deliciously executed. The chorus of bathers, so exquisitely graceful and flowing, had a charming effect front the richness and purity of the voices and the soft breathing of the accompaniment.. This scene contains an air which has been newly composed by Meyerreer for the part of Urbana, the page. performed by Mlle. Alboni. This is a very small part. The page appears only twice, and each time merely to deliver a message. In the original score he has only one air, in which there is nothing remarkable; and the second air has been added to strengthen a part assigned to so eminent a singer. But this addition bar not been happily made. It is a des made absurdity to make the page, in the Queen's presence, entertain the ladies with a long jocular song, when he has - enteted merely to announce the arrival of a person expected by his royal mistress on business of serious import. The air ihieif, moreover, is ovetlatcured, and watts lightness and simplicity. It was, however, nicely sung, and of course encored. The second act, in this new ve r,ion, opens with the famous scene representing the holiday sports ard merry-making of the inhabitants of Paris ; an unrivalled specimen of the power of choral and concerted music in giving life and ar.imation to busy and bustling groups of peope. We ha.e, at the same time, a chorus of citizens enjoying themselves at table, a band of Huguenot soldiers trolling a war song, and a religious procession singing en " Ave Maria;" and all these different strains are kept dis tinct and strongly marked, while they blend into one mem of rich harmony. It is in this scene that the character of i Valentine, the heroine, becomes striking and prominent. After the celebration of her ill-stirred marriage with Neese she overhears in the chapel her father and his friends laying their plot for the murder of Raoul, and enters alone, almost frantic with terror. Eager to find some means to save him, she suddenly meets his faithful servant Marcel, and the scene between them is of intense interest. Hers Madame Viardot's powers es an actress and a singer were fully displayed. Ti.e air, " Ah, l'ingrate," whether as a piece of enchanting vocal execution, or of fervid expression, has probably never been surpassed on the stage.
