The °birds of the institution were further explained by Mr. Edger, the solicitor, and Mr. Jenkin Jones ; and a dis cordant discussion ensued ea to the details of the proposed plan, although generally it appeared to have the approval of Om meeting. Some compliant. were made with reference to she non-publication of the rules, which however were read, glair publication being reser ved, it was stated, until a more full and comprehensive explanation of the ethane could be prepared. A prominent subject of debate was the connexion which would exist between the Whittington Fund and the Whittington Club, and its effect ape both ; it being the general opinion that the two insti gations should be kept as distinct as possible. In order to establish such distinctness, a resolution was adopted, to the egret that whenever any society proposed to borrow money dew Whittington Fund, the business should be transacted eotir having no connexion with the society, as far as supled to the offices of surveyor or solicitor. The resolution ens made thus general, and applicable equally . to all bode es, at the request of several gentlemen who wished to avoid asking any invidious distinction with regard to the Whit tiegtot Club. The meeting was adjourned, after some busi ness of minor importance, until the rules shall have been pddiehed and more conclusive measure. resolved upon. SOCIETY OF ST. ANNE'S.—A meeting took place yesterday, at the schools of this society at Brixton-hill, for the porpore of distributing certain prizes annually given to young men brought up at the school who have conducted thareelv , l to the satisfaction of their employers. The Very Bev. the Dean of Chichester distributed the rewards, the highest of which were awarded to those who had remained wish one master for seven years, and who bore an uniformly geed character. To such were given if. and a handsome quarto bible ; to others various smaller sums of money, mgether with books. Letters were read from the em ployers of those receiving prizes, speaking in highly com mendatory terms of thir conduct. After the distribution the riff rev. dean briefly addressed the young people. The children of both schools sang a hymn, and the company ad. joined to see the children take tea. ORPHAN Wontaxo ScuooL. This charitable *agitation, which was established so far back as the year 1758, for the purpose of providing for, educating, and afterwards apprenticing orphan and other necessitous chil e's of both sexes, and of all denominations, held a com memorative festival yesterday, at the London Tavern, to celebrate the completion of their new building at Haver- Meek-hill, to which the establishment is about to be re moved from their present and less commodious premises in the City-road, which is capable of accommodating 240 chil dren. Alderman and Sheriff Challis was in the chair, the Earl of Ducie, who had been announced as the chairman, being unable to attend in consequence of ill-health. The sahecriptiens reported in aid of the building fund, amounted to 1,0291. ; and in the list of subscribers were the Earl of Docie,2l/.; T. Gibson, Esq., 311. 10s.; S. M. Pets, Esq., El. ; Sir J.

INTERCOURSE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND SITE CON- TtNewr. —lt appears from the official returns of the Mairie ef Boulogne, that the total number of passengers between England and the ports of Collis and Boulogne in the course of the week ending May 23, was 1,773. Of these, 1,517 (with 4 horses and 11 carriages) passed by Boulogne; 256 (with 1 horse and 2 carriages) by Calais. The numbers in the rorrepeading week of 1846 were 1,317: 1,030 by Bon- Wee, and 327 by Calais. The 1,517 passengers by Boulogne efthe week ending May 23, in this year, consisted of 744 to, said 773 from, that place. There were 533 to Boulogne from Folkstone, 120 from Dover, and 91 from London. Then were 3 V3 from Boulogne to Folkstone, 139 to Dover, and 106 to Landon. _ _ _ _ _ Ma.

THE RECENT CASES OF POISONING AT KENSAL oaaaN.—Mrs. Hickman is gradually recovering from the effects of the poison she received. She is now perfectly sensible, and appears absorbed in grief. The only fear that can be at present entertained of her perfect restoration is, that sudden inflammation may commence. INQUESTS, YESTERDAY.—DROWNED.—Before Mr. Carter, at the White Lion lon, Cobham, Surrey, on the body of James Reed. The deceased and several of his companions, es Sunday evening last, proceeded to the banks of the river Mole, for the purpose of bathing. The deceased was unable to swim ; he continued to walk about in the water until it ruched his chin. He made an effort to swim ; but, after a by strokes, his companions heard a struggling noise, and when they turned round they found the deceased had disap pared. An alarm was raised, and every endeavour used to lOd the body, which was not recovered until two hours had *peed. The jury, after hearing other corroborative testi mony, returned a verdict of "Accidental death." — A SPENDTURITT SAlLOn.—Before Mr. Payne, at the Crown aid Shears, Sparrow-corner, Minories, on the body of Paul Purnell, a seaman. The deceased had been leading a very " e•cketty" life since this time two years, when he was paid /Whom H.M.S. Illustrious, and, in addition, received 9001., a part of some property left him. All this money he squan dered away, and recently went to Portsmouth with barely adieltat money to get himself an outfit. Hs was unable to get &ship there, and by the time he got back all his money via gone. On Thursday last he took lodgings at the Royal Mint Coffee-house, and, from his wild manner and inco herent language, the landlord thought him out of his mind. Oa Saturday he went to the Navy Rendezvous, on Tower kill, and shipped himself for H.M.S. Ocean, but soon after wards seemed to regret what he had done ; for, on returning to his lodgings, he said that if they wonted him they must come for him. He was to have gone on board on Tuesday, bat on that day the servant of the coffee-house found him lying in his bed-room weltering in kis blood. He had cot its throat with a rum, and was dead. Though a common Orman, he belonged to a very respectable family in Berk shire, and would shortly have had 1,4001., the remainder of the money left him. The jury returned • verdict of " Tempo rary Insanity." DEATH OF THE REV. DR. CHALMERS. We yesterday announced the unexpected demise of this eminent divine, who expired suddenly, at his residence, Moraingside near Edinburgh, on Monday last. Thomas Chateaus was born at Anstruther, in Fifeshire, in April, 1780, and prosecuted his literary and theological studies at the University of St. Andrew's. On becoming a licentiate of the Church of Scotland, and even after his ordi nation as a minister of that church, he entered on engagements! of a more general kind than those usually filled in connexion with the clerical profession. Ile became a member of a yeomanry corps, and delivered different courses of scientific lectures in the neighbourhood of his native town. After officiating for about two years as =St ant in the parish of Carers, he obtained a presentation to the living of Hilmany, in Fifeshire. While there he continued to prosecute his scientific studies, and when the Chair of Mathematics in the University of Edinburgh became vacant Sy the translation of Profeesor Playfair to the Chair of Natural Philosophy, he was one of the many candidates who Competed with the late Bir John Leslie for the vacant honour. He withdrew, however, at an early stage of the protracted contest which ensued. At this period the French war was raging, and fired, with patriotic fervour Chalmers produced a volume on " The Extent and Stability of the I ffational Resources." It inculcated, amidst much that was questionable, some sound views in political economy; but its vehemence o f ton e , a l t h oug h at times lofty and eloquent, prevented it from reeking any great impression, and it was not reprinted in his collected works, afterwards published in SS vols. For some years he slumbered in his greatness at Ilibnany, enjoying little MOTS than provincial reputation, till the publication of sane isolated sermons and bile con tribution of the article " Chridianity " to the " Edinburgh Incyclopeedia," edited by Sir D. Brewster, an of which were marked by evangelism of tone and expensed in a style drugged and original grandeur. In 1814 he wee translated to the - Tron church of Glasgow, and, while there, role to the altitude of the greatest preacher of the day. He became one of the lions of Scotland, and no visit to the country was reck oned complete unless Chalmers was heard pre -sdiing. A socessfon of 'writers, from Lockhart in " Peter's Letters to his Entafolk," down to °Millen; in hie " Literary Portraits," have all described the peculiarities of his pulpit eloquence ; and the provincial Scotch accent, the guttural voice, the heavy blue eye kindling into fury, the uncouth gestures, are all familiar both to the LW and present gsassatko of readers, arid need not be repeated. Bat not content with theological triumphs, Chalmers entered the scientific areas, and treading its plain's with majestic MAP. produced his " Discourses on A s t ronomy. " In the town of Glasgow, as might have been expected, he carried all before him, and the new church of St. John's was expressly built for his accommodation; and alter labouring there for some years he was appointed in 1824 to th e P re f esson hi p of Moral Philo sophy in the University of St. Andrew's. His arrival there gave an impulse to that ancient seminary, which brought back much of the glory of its former days ; but it was a sphere too narrow for the genius of Chalmers, and in 1828 he was removed to the chair of Theo- logy in the University of Edinburgh, the highest academical distinction which could be conferred. Here, undisturbed by change, he prosecuted his labours for some years; but that appointment, however dignified in point of status, was but poorly endowed, and offered little pecuniary advantage to a man having a family to provide for, and who scattered his bounty with no stinted hand. Accordingly, when the corresponding and richer chair in the University of Glasgow became vacant, he offered himself as a candidate, but the patronage was vested in the college, Chalmers had become • non-intrusionist, and that was enough. Constitutional principles had to be vindicated, and Sir James Graham, who at the time held a university office, went to Gleagow on peewee, and voted with the majority that excluded Thomas Chalmers. Mere money for hoarding was no vies of his, for he had previously refused the west church of Greenock, the highest living in the church ; and against pluralities he waged • long and deadly war. Next came the disruption of the church of Scotland, when, as a matter of course ,he resigned his chair, and was elected principal and primaries professor of theology to the seceding body. The enterprises of Chalmers' life were few, but they were followed by mighty results, and were worked out with a force and minuteness of agency which not only deserved, but commanded, success. He came on the stage at a time when the evangelical system was low in the church, and ha rolled back the current of opinion so strongly as to revolutionise and ultimately dismantle the national church. Evangelism was his object ; his means were a new order of pulpit ministration, • voluntary system of poor.laws, Marta extension in the establihment, and out of it the n=n of the free church. In preaching he succeeded g a school of clergymen devoted to pastoral labour, and eager in disseminating truth. In parochial economies his views did not receive so much success; they were opposed to the received canons of political economy, and, like many other great men who mistake their forte, although he perhaps prided himself more on his economic science than any other acquirement, it is precisely the department of his labours on which his contemporaries laid least stress,and in all probability, posterity will confirmtheir award. In church ex tension he achieved wonders. Setting his shoulder to the wheel, about two hundred churches sprung up in all parts of Scotland as if by magic. And when by the breakieg up of the church, much of this was lost, Chalmers, who " gambled with difficulties," and who was now in his de clining years, set himself to the uprearing of the new sect, with all the strength of a middle-age giant. His mind caught at the idea of • central fund for the support of the clergy, and with what effect he worked it the sinewy lines,- ' manta of the free church amply testifiy. He died at his post. He attended and mere his evidence before the com mittee on sites in London, and came down to prepare him self for the Assembly. On the day on which he died he was to have spoken in that court, and bad his notes all prepared. On Sunday night, we learn—from the Witneu, the organ of the free church party—that Dr. Chalmers retired to rest at an early hour, in perfect health. Next morning, Professor Maedougal. who expected to have received a packet of papers from the doctor, rent, at about 20 minutes before eight, to inquire whether the papers had been left out. The housekeeper knocked at the door of the doctor's bed-room, but received no answer, and concluded that the doctor was asleep. Half an hour later, another party called, when the housekeeper knocked as before, but still received no answer, and the domestics agreed to enter the chamber and ascertain if all were well with their revered master. On enter ing, they were shocked to discover that the doctor had fallen into the sleep of death. He, it appeared, had been sitting erect when overtaken by the stroke of death, and he still retained, in part, that position. The head gently reclined on the pillow. The arms were folded peacefully on the breast. There was • slight ap pearance of oppression and heaviness on the brew, but not a wrinkle, not a trace of sorrow or pain, disturbed its smooth ness. The countenance wore an expression of deep repose. Professor Macdougal, who had been sent for, grasped the hand. It was cold as marble. Life had departed several hours. " The air of majesty on the countenance," says the IVitners, " greater than he had ever perceived on the living face, seemed to say, ' I am gone up.' No conflict had preceded: dissolution. As a proof of this, the bedclothes were gathered about his person, and had plainly not been disturbed by any struggle at the moment of departure." On the forenoon of Monday, the Doctor was to give in the report of the College Committee to the General Assembly of the Free Church; and, in anticipation of that event, his papers and writing materials lay beside him in bed, so arranged that he might begin his work so soon as he should awake. The rev. doctor has left behind him a widow to lament his loam, and • family of, we believe, six daughters, two of whom are married, the one to the Rev. Mr. /Menem, of Rothe, the other to the Rev. Dr. Hans, of Skirling, editor of the " North British Review ' " an d four unmarried. Few *cholera had accumulat ed so many academic honours ea Dr. Chalmers. He received the degree of LL.D. from the University of Oxford, and was elected a corresponding member of the Royal Institute of Preece ; honours never before accorded to a Presbyterian divine, and seldom to a Scotsman. In fine, while living, he received all the homage and respect usually accorded to great men when dead, and this mainly because, while living, he was a good man as well as a great man. Like all men of note who have attained any amount of years, descent to the tomb was not necessary for the forma tion if a fair estimate of the character of Chalmers. His attainments, both in theology and science, were more com prehensive than minute, and he owed his elevation less to original grasp of thought than to an intensity of character and compositeness of intellect, which invested everything that came from him with a force and novelty, which, if not strictly creative, was near akin to it. His simplicity of mind was such that, personally, he could hardly be Raid to have had an enemy—whilst his tastes and habits were so expan sive and cosmopolitan that of him it might literally have been said, he "reckoned the world his home and the men of all nations his brethren." In the matter of composition, as well as in style of rea soning, he followed methods of his own. A few leading thoughts made up the sum and substance of a speech or dis course, but these he amplified and subjected to such endless variety of illustration, as not only to faminate and subdue, but to convince and rouse I. action. It was this quality that led the late Robert Hall to compare him first to a gold. beater, and afterwards to a kaleidoscope. Besides his intrinsic and scholarly attainments, Chalmers possessed minor graces and acoemphahments which did their part in helping to work out the great tasks he set himself. His oratory was occasionally enriched with a broad but never unrefined humour. In his platform addresses, he sometimes amused his auditors even to tumultuous mirth. In discerning talent ho was remarkably quick - sighted, and never failed to lend a generous and helping hand to merit wherever he found it. By accident he heard Edward Irving preach in Edinburgh, and at once carried him off to Glasgow as his assistant. To the last he kept up with the current ' movements of the day. Morrell's " History of Philosophy" was laid hold of when it issued from the press, and before others had read or heard of it, he was lecturing on it to his students; and when etherization came into vogue, Chalmers was found seated on the benches of the infirmary witnessing capital operations performed under the influence of the new sedative. The last church which he reared was acne the scene of the Burke murders, and there he was busied from day to day in arrangements for draining the vicinity, wash ing the school-boys' clothes, and otherwise carrying out the unitary system of tho day.

I always was of opinion, and as so still, that these tension rods are not of great use, baron I consider that the expansion of wrought and toast-lea from heat differs in some degree, although not very greatly but that ironlirders being very massive, and the tension bars thin and of email dimensions, the mane may act on the wrought-iron rods very considerably , and lees on the cad-iron girders, and supposing them to be adjusted for a moderate temperature the intensity of the weather may destroy their proper proportion, and do away with the benefit of the tension. I may here state that wrought iron, when acted upon, will considerably elongate without breaking ; but east iron will not without breaking. There have been a number of bridges of this description erected on railways in various parts of England, both before and after I held the appointment of inspector-general of railways, none of which, with the ex ception of this one, ever failed. Coroner Were any of them ' of the same extent ?—General Paisley: Not quite the same extent, but I will allude to a east iron girder bridge at York, over the River Ouse, of the York and Scarborough Railway. which has two openings of 70 feet *pan. The least depth of the iron girder on that bridge is 3 feet. The least depth of those on the Dee bridge is 3 feet 9 inches, and es the bridge at York and other similar bridges have stood, I con cluded that this one would, as it had an extra depth to ren der it sato. I may also mention another bridge ever the Tees at Stockton. Although I have not sees it, I may vouch for what I 'tote to be correct It has a epan of 83 feet 4 in., and the lout depth of iron is 3 feet —Mr. R. Stephenson said it was 87 feet —General Pesky : I thought it was what I stated, but you may bo correct. The tr affi c on it is chiefly of coals, but if I had known of this inquest I would have gone and seen it. The flange on this bridge is greater than on others. I have frequently mentioned to engineers that wrought iron tension rods would do little good. In my in gereaon of • cast iron girder bridge on the Systole and Peterborough railway, built by Mr. Liddle, the resident en gineer, I found that he had omitted tension bars ; and in my report to Earl of Clarendon I approved of the omission, and considered it • preferable construction. It appeared that Mr. Liddle could not get the tension rods in time, and therefore he built the bridge without them. Having.men timed this repeatedly to engineers, I have been given to un derstand that Mr. Bidder and Mr. Gooch, two talented gen tlemen, for whom I entertain much respect, have made experi ments with a viewer testing the strength of girders without rods, and I am informed that the trial was in favour of the latter. Coroner Which is the weakest part of this bridge in your opinion ? General Feeley I should say that the pressure is about equal.—Coroner Havint surveyed the bridge, to what do you attribute the accident ? General Feeley : It has been stated that some time after the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway was opened, and after I had inspected it, a girder was cracked, and replaced by a new girder. This circumstance, which I did not know and which was ported to government, coupled with the fracture of this one, inducts me to think that they are not safe, and that it is a mere cast of a die between their safety and danger. They are on the verge of danger. By examining the bridge on Thursday last and to-day, I consider that the tension rods are of very little use indeed. The tension rods are connected with the girder alone as if they were part of the girder; they have nn independent support, and there is a difference between this bridge and Mr. Stephenson's former iron girder bridges. In ell his former iron girder bridges there is a con nexion from girder to girder on the central pier or piers from one end of the bridge to the other, so that when the pressure is on one girder, the other girder in the same line contributes to assist. That is the case with the one on the River Ouse at York. The horizontal portion of these bars appears to be useless. The oblique tension bars would be of use if the upper ends were fixed to some independent support to each pier, and similar independent support on each abutment, and that the standards or support over the abutments should have tension bars extending inland to resist the heavy weight going over tee extreme openings of the bridge. There is a swing bridge over the River Wensum at Norwich, strengthened on this principle, and which is extremely judicious. In this case, I consider that the girder broke on a train peeing over it, and the balled that had been thrown on it in the course of the morning. The masonry gave way from the girder breaking, and from that cause alone. I examined the girder and the castings seemed very good and! believe iti s generally admitted that they are good, but the girder was too weak after the ballast that was put upon it. The girder was fat enough in the masonry to support it. There wee quite bearing . enough to render it secure.— Coroner : Would the eng ine-driver suddenly putting on the steam cause the engine to bound with such force as to break the girder ? Gen. Palley No; certainly not. I saw nothing to throw the carriages off the rails on the bridge, which had strong guard rails. I should say that no girder could have withstood a deflection of 51 inchee se stated by a witness this day. I think that person is a very inaccurate observer. It would have broke short at ouce. A continued deflection of 4 inches must have broke it long before this occurred. Sir E. S. Walker : Now, General, if this bridge was re stored to its original state, would you be prepared to pass it fit for public security ? Gen. Parley No, I would not. As I am not infallible, although I did sanction its opening, I should not now allow trains to pass over it without fixing independent supporters. It could be rendered perfectly safe by adopting what I suggest. For my own part, and I am not troubled a ith nervousness, I certainly should not like to travel over it until it was secured as I have stated.—By Mr. Tyrell : I do not believe that the tender ran against the outside girder. I noticed the masonry that was disturbed. Did not measure the height of the abutment in reference to the tender. Did not notice in particular that the chains were broken. Was told that one of the wheels of a carriage broke,: and I was only surprised that they were not all broken. In all the railway accidents that I have had to inquire about, I never found a train precipitated into a river. —By Sir E. Walker: If the tender had struck the girder, I should say that the stoker might have been thrown into the river. Noticed that the tender had struck something. The nature of the accident has proved to me that there was no defect in the flange, but brackets on girders would be • great improvement.

The appearances on which the fears of failure were founded, differed altogether from the phenomena which heralded destruction in the last and preceding years. There is this peculiarity also in the disease of 18.15-6, which has not yet appeared. The whole crop was blighted in one week through the whole island, and a single night embrowned the crops of an entire county. The infection, whatever it was, was instantaneous. Plow, in the present case, the symptoms of decay are limited to a very few districts. There is nothing of what may be called the instan taneous corruption. Some discoloration has taken place, but it has quickly yielded to atmospheric in fluences. The very few southern and northern journals received to-day speak exultingly of the ap pearance of the potato crop. But we must not be too confident. It is possible that, should the visitation come, it will fall upon us within the next month. The blight of '46 was earlier by six weeks than that of '45, and reasoning from the analogy, we may expect the fearful visitor, should it be our destiny, about the end of June. There is to be a meeting of the medical practi tioners of Dublin to-day, to consider the inadequacy of the remuneration they receive for the discharge of public duties. Sir Henry Marsh will take the chair. The origin of the movement was, the proposed scale of fees for attendance at the new fever hospitals, amounting, it is said, to a penny per day for each patient. Whatever course the profession adopt, private interests should be reconciled with public duties. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. Borrox,—Four candidates are announced for this borough —Mr. Brownrigg, one of the present members, will retire; Sir J. Duke, the other member, will again offer himself; and with him the liberal electors intend, its stated, to aseo. date Mr. D. Wire. The conservatives had a meeting on Friday last, and determined to solicit Mr. B. Bond 'Abell to stand in place of Mr. Browarig; ; it wee stated that he (Mr. Cabbell) had been consulted, and had mentioned that he did not wish to represent St. Alban's again. On the fol• lowing day (Saturday), it was announced that the Rt. Hon. Henry Ellis was a candidate ; and, on Monday, that gentle man issued an address, in which he speaks of " his friend Mr. Brownrigg'e" retirement, and his desire to succeed him. Sorre.—A report has been circulated that it is not Mr. Colvile's intention again to become a candi date for the representation of South Derbyshire. The Derby Mercury, of yesterday, says:—" We have authority, most distinctly and unequivocally to assert, that, on the dis solution of the present parliament, both that gentleman and Mr. Mundy will solicit the suffrages of the electors." DiElinT.—An address to the electors has been homed, =" Philip WOrath." This new candidate declares to be in favour of universal suffrage, vote by ballot, and annual parliaments. SOrrii.—There will be a change in the representation, but it is not expected that any contest will le. Sir J. Trollops, Bart, one of the present mem bers, will retain his seat: Mr. C. Tumor, the other member, is to retire ; and Lord Burghley, eldest son of the Marquis of Exeter, is spoken of as Maly to succeed him. " The, ar rangement," says a correspondent, " is not altogether palat able to the elector,, in consequence of the youth and inex perience of Lord Burghley. If a liberal could be induced to stand, there is every probability of his success; but the ex pense of contesting such a very large tract of country will, it is thought, deter another candidate from comiag forward." LLNCoLNISHIRE, Nozver.—lt is understood that the pre. sent members, Sir M. J. Cholmeley and Mr. Christopher, will be returned without opposition. LINCOLN, CITY.—Sir E. Bulwor Lytton has announced that he will not be a candidate. The contest will, therefore, be between the present conservative members (Colonel Sib them and Mr. W. R. Collett) and Mr. C. Seely (liberal). It is expected that the latter will be returned at the head of the poll, and that Colonel Sibthorp will be his colleague. LANCASHIRS SOUTII.—Tbe influential meeting of South Lancashire elect:cm held at Manchester, on Tuesday, and which bad eel eumbried when our correspondence of that day left, determined, me was anticipated by our correspondent, en bringing trwerd Mr. Villicom Lrmnroot..—The torte have axed upon Mr. T. B. Hom an, a Uverpool nortelmat ; the liberals have not yet made a choice. The ceemmatime will not venture upon more than one candidate, at least that is their present intention. The Rev. Hugh WNW* delivered a lecture at the Amphitheatre on Tuesday se Herbert's painting of the " Ac quittel of the Seven " ostensibly for the relief of the sales* Igish, bat y for the purpose of " getting up the elmillea elem." At the conclusion of the lecture, he referred to the repreentation of the town, and suggested that the Mgt church party should content themselves with one representative, leaves the liberals to elect another. This motkratiou was probably suggested by the state of the i re =onoxs.—Mr. John Bagattaw, formerly member kr &eatery, and lately put forward by the Re.kem and Relleleatfon Aseedathei Ise the borough of Merylebone, in the ram of Sir Chao.

There was a meeting of this body to-day, which was open to parties not being members, and to " the press." It is a reconstruction of the Reproductive Employment Committee formed in December last, and from which " the Irish party " was an emanation. The meeting was called for 3 o'clock, p.m. It was half-pant before the chau was taken, and the members present were but few. Mr. Chetwode was called to the chair, and Sir Ceman O'Loghlen acted as secretary. The latter gentleman read the report, which, after adverting to the origin of the Repro ductive Committee and the Irish party, and the resolutions emanating from the imposing assemblage held by them in January last, thus records the failure of the expectations the proceedings then had excited: It wan then oonfidemtly hoped that our representatives in meat would take advantage of this m authoritative an expuoition of the Bens* of the nation, and that they would, with all the real and ability of which they were capable, and, shave all, by their unanimity tome upon the attention of the legislature the calamity under which the country suffered, and obtain, from its sense of justice, adequate measures of relief That hope has been totally disappointed. The condom of the Irish representatives boa been again characterised by a want of unity of action, and by a subserviency to that political expe diency which has KO often rendered the interests of Ireland subordinate to those of party. In the mean time famine and diseme have spread desolation throughout the land—an universal panic has annihilated credit--the national character hue been loaded with obloquy—end all dames of our countrymen are threatened with a common ruin. Under these circumstances, the portion of the committee of December which yet held together, determined upon the formation of another body, which they designated " The Irish Council," and the objects and purposes of which are than expressed : To combine Irishmen of every grade and section of opinion—to watch over mai assert the rights and intern*. of our common country—to mirror its wants and wiahes—to create, foster, and deve lop a sound Irish public opinion, irrespective of party, see the oh. jade of "The Irish Counci l . " AU topics relating to the welfare of Ireland will form subjects of dismasdon and deliberation at our meet ings; but, at the same time, as one organization, to be effective, must combine Intelligent men, connected with the different parties, classes, and creeds, Into which Ireland is divided, the very existence of our body, and its utility to our country, demand that all subjects calculated to excite angry . discussion shall be, as they have hitherto beta, excluded from our deliberations, which should bo directed to objects of national concern, in regard to which all classes (*el a wa in= interest. - Mr. Hartpole Leckey proposed, and Lord Wallscourt se conded, the adoption of the report, which was adopted, after • protest from Mr. Henry Grattan, on the part of the Irish members censured in the quotation. Mr. Monsen, in proposing aresolution respecting the working of the council, eomplained of the relief works, and stated that he thought the government had done very wrong in not having assented to the proposals of certain relief sessions for constructing the earth tables of railways pre sented for at those sessions. Mr. Monsell instanced a case in Clare, where it was objected to sanction the construction of the earthworks en the ground that a great part would go into the pockets of the landlords for the land. Now, the land destroyed by the road works in those baronies would coat twice as much as the land for railways, and the works themselves twice as much as the making of the railways. Mr. Mansell went on to show, that in many cases the rates under the Relief Act it would be impossible to levy on account of their heaviness, and argued that wherever the number of in. habitants of a union came near the amount of its rated pro- perty, then in the next year there must occur destitution as severe as in the present. He thought the council should supply the government with information—statistical informa -1 lion—respecting the condition of the country, as they mani festly legislated in ignorance. PROVINCIAL. THE LIVERPOOL POST-OPPIOE - Ia at present in a portion of the Revenue Buildings.

Tully, was produced here on Monday nisht, an.l with complete success. Its title is "The forest Maiden and the Moorish Page," and the subject is founded on an episode in the life of Philip of Spain. The groundwork of the story is simple enough, but the libretto Is not such as to render the plot sufficiently intelligible. The King of Spain has excited the jealousy of Queen Mary by his lore fur Alice Copley, one of her Majesty's gentlewomen, and the Queen employs Leon (a Moorish page) to keep watch over her royal husband's movements; Leon, having pre. tented to her majesty a letter which had dropped from the bosom of Alice &snag an interview with the King, and which the Queen resolves to mike use of, in order to aid her revenge against Alice's father, Sir Edward Copley, a proscribed heretic. Alice has a lover, Francis Huntley, the King's secretary, who has oh- tamed Sir Edward's permission to marry hie daughter, and Alice is about to accompany her father in his flight to a distant land, when she is accused of heresy, and conducted to the Tower. In the mean time, the page has watched the conduct of the King towards the young .dlice ; not, however, with the view of gratifying the jealousy of the Queen. but in order that he may satisfy his own mind re specting his Majesty's designs. Alice is ultimately com mitted to prison, but is set at liberty by Francis Huntley, who has been appointed by his Majesty to the *Rice of go vernor of the gaol. Leon afterwards seeks an interview with the King, and it then appears that the page is Leonora 1 de Castro, a Spanish lady, whom his Majesty has disho noured, and who now resolves to betray their secret to the Quern. Her Majesty, hay; og discovered the perfidy of her royal husband, orders Alice and her father to be pardoned, and Leon sinks into the arms of attendants, imploring the faithless King to bury her " beneath the ninny skies of beloved Spain." Then comes the grand finale in which Alice expresses the great delight she feels at so happy a termination to all her troubles. This opera does the author great credit as well for the purity of the melodies in which it abounde , as for th e skill withvrhichhe has ma ... naged the instrumentation. The " gems " of the piece are a madrigal at the commencement of the second act, and two ballads sung by Mims R. Itasca, in the character of the page. The second of these ballads, " Ev'ry joy of my child hood is gone," is a beautiful composition, full of pure and delicate melody. There was also a ballad sung by Alice, " A little cot beside the sea," with which the audience were much delighted; and a duet between Philip and !lunacy, which was effective, notwith standing the imperfect manner in which it was sung by Messrs. W. Harrison and Leffler. Mr. Harrison was not in good voice, but he appeared to exert himself creditably. The character of Alice was very efficiently rendered by Miss Rainfortb, and Mine Isaacs played the page Leon in a man ner which won for her the loudest applause. The opera, as we have said, was eminently sucees,ful, and Mr. Tully was called for (after Miss litinforth, Miss Isaacs, and Mr. Harrison), to receive the congratulations of the audience. THE ANCIENT CONCERTS.—The fifth concert, hat evening, was under the direction of Earl Howe. Among a good deal of trite matter, the programme contained several Interesting things. An anthem is always out of place iu a concert-room; and Purcell's "O, sing unto the Lord," though sublime as part of the cathedral service, is very long and dry as part of a musical entertainment. The sacred Mena of " Guglielmi " was exceedingly well sung, by Madame Caradori Allan. Wcbbe'a celebrated glee, " When winds breathe soft," was carefully sung by bliss 8. Novelle, and Messrs. Lockey, Barnby, Peck, and Machin ; but, the time being dragged throughout, and the move ments not sufficiently contrasted, the effect of the whole was languid. The air, " Deh, plat lo edegno," from Zinga relli's " Giuseppe in Egitto," was sung by Puschek with ex- 1 quisite beauty and expression. M ad ame Dome Gras sang the air, " With verdure clad," from "The Creation," with the English words, which she pronounced very distinctly, Her execution of the air was most brilliant ; but we have been accustomed in England to a closer adherence to Ilaydn'a text. Geminiani's violin concerto, played by Mr. Blegrove, was more curious than interesting. It contains some good fugue writing, but the violin passages are too stiff and antiquated for modern ears. Three fine old madrigals of the sixteenth century, Luca Marenzio's "Spring returns," Orlando di Lasso's, " Ye Nightingales," and Benet's " All creatures now are merry-mtnded," were song by a choir of sixty-eight voices, with surprising precision (considering their difficulty) and excellent effect. The scene from Beethoven's " Fidelio," sung in German by Staudigl and Pischek, must be sung on the stage to produce effect ; such things are lord in the con cert-room. On the whole the concert exhibited considerable novelty and variety, and did credit to the taste of the noble director. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager was present, with a numerous party of royal and noble personages. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS. Cmegathes.-6 , W.

WEDNESDIT.-IVednecday hu always been a more " taking" day with sporting men than with the public, in somuch as there is Aenerally an ample sufficiency of racing for amusement and speculation, and no crowd to prevent a " quiet and easy" enjoyment of it; nor was there anything on this occasion to distinguish it from the "of" days of by-gone meetings —the list teemed with sport, and pro mi,e.l good fields for all the leading events ; the weather was fine, and not too t iltry, and the company exkibit-d a very respectable amount of fashion, with a full proportion of the notables of the hid; numerically it was only moderate. Business commenced at the usual time, with a two-year old produce stakes, which proved Quite • one-sided affair. Cos sack then cantered over the Swirdey ; next to it, in the order of running, came the Fern Hill Stakes, which was won after a fine race, by ChrLtopher, once a strongly-fancied outsider for the late Derby. The Royal Hunt Cup came next, and for this a field of no less than twenty-five showed at the post ; the betting on it was comparatively brisk, and the race a proof of excellent handicapping. Tragical, an extreme outsider, having moved a useful horse to the ring, by winning by a neck, another outsider running second, and several extremely well up. This race alone would have given Mat to the day. The Coronation Stakes was another agreeable surprise to the round betters, Miami, carrying 71b. extra for winning the Oaks, haring succumbed to a mare that was nowhere In that race. The Wiadsor Stakes fol lowed, and again were the fielders victorious, Mr. Martin, who was fourth for ele Derby, winning with greet ease, the favourites " nowhere ; " the winner was forthwith backed for the St. Leger for 2001. at 10 to 1. Two other races of minor importance, oe of them, however, very closely con tested, brought an excellent day's sport to a close shortly after five o'clock.
