You, sir, have rightly oath that this is not the occasion to entertain political questions, and I will say et once that our object in coals; hither was to do knew sad to add our homage and pay our tribute of respect sad admiration to the gallant services of L ,rd Gough. (Greet cheerios.) It has been my fortune during a part of the glorious career of Lord Gough to have been an adviser of the Crown, and I have witnessed with admiration the courage, the constancy, and the perse veres, which has enabled him to overcome difficalties of no ordinarycharatter (Hear.) And,gentlemen, you will permit me to say, as a torero( peace and its fruits, that I eonaidentbat th, necessity for war having once occurred, that the man who conducts an army to victory, who crowns the arms of his country with rumen, and who obliges the enemy to ask for terms, is the man who is the true (need of peace and of his counu r r ie (Loud cheers co l No man would willingly, if he had a ht oonscience and a good underst an di ng , enun ter those m ries of mankind which attend upon war, and I Lea had occasion in this room, whin I have been the guest of the Rest India Company, to express my admiration of the forbearance shown by the noble lord, my noble friend wh o now site on my right hand (Lord Hardinire)—(load eheers)— in not encountering thaw evils until they were absolutely forced upon him by the necessities of his guidon. (Hear, ' hear). But I say that when the necessity has once to be encountered, the man who like my noble friend crowns the arms of his country with the meat briniest victories—(hmar, hear)—is the mss who is the true lover of yeas , and him we ought to honoui not only as the successful warrior, aid the men of war, but as the man by whose means the deserted v.llages are repeopled—the abandoned harvests are restored—the man by whose means the desolated country again wears the smiling aspect of peace, industry, and pros perity. (Loud cheers.) It has been the fortune of Lord Gough, during a coulderable number of yeah, to carry on the service of his country in wars of the most remarkable character—ln the war agair.at the Coining empire, and in the war which has lately added to oar Indian terr itories the dominion of the Punish. (Hear, hear.) With theme wars his name will be associated to ell posterity ; and let me add, as the gallant admiral has alluded in the speech he made to- night to the arctic expedition, that we me constantly before us, year after year, as the occasions arise, that whether in the midst of the burning climes of the tro pics, or whether in the vicinity of the poke, whatever may be the nature of the difficulty, the courage, the energy, and the constancy of Englishmen carry them through those difficulties, and raise the reputation of their country to all time. (Great cheering.) The CHAIRMAN then mid he wished to propose to them the " Health of the Right Honourable the President of the India Board, Sir John Cam Hebhouse " of who, presence he grieved to say they were disappointed that evening. And he lamented it the more on amount of the cause that had occasioned his absence. Thrice had Sir John Hobbouse been called to the councils of hie eovereiga as Minister for India, and in the most mousentone period in the history of that country. If the people of India had pro gressed in civilisation, if wisdom had prevailed in her coun cils, and if victory had crowned her arms, then Sir John Hobhouse, the President of the India Board, and those who had assisted him, were entitled to all praise. (Hear.) The tout was drunk with cheers. The H At. J. ELLIOT, secretary to the India Board, ►re turned thanks oa behalf of Sir J. Hobkonee, who, he re gretted to say, bad been compelled to be absent front indis position. The CHAIRMAN then gave " the health of the Marquis of Westminster and the Hones of Lords." The toast having been drunk. The Margate of WESTMINSTER returned thanks. The House of Lords had always shown its readiness to gemlike its own feelings to the good of the country, and upon the shrine of pablte duty. Upon all coseadens it had been desirous dandle itself with the feelings and wishes of the people of Emend. ash on no occasion had he felt more pleasure this whim he joined with it ia its unanimous nee of thanks to the no r b e le c l i ol and his gallant seniy.

I should have been content under ordinary circum stances to hays pared over in silence any military opera tions of slue, or the merits of my superior general akar; bat I think I am justifisd in malting some comments on my noble friend's compiling, bemuse I wads myself an eyei.wit nem of his conduct. (Hear.) Gentlemen, I bad fiequeat opportunities of obeerrag the conduct of my noble friend, his ardent devotion to the service, on all those different occa sions on which he led the army, and out of which he brought them with the greatest credit and honour. My lords and gentlemen, I must say that my Coble friend had to encounter difficulties of no ordinary character, and no common enemy, for I eau safely say that the enemy he was opposed to was the bravest and the most warlike the British army aver encountered in India. (Che• re.) It was not • band of military adventurers drawn together for the sake of gain but • military nation, bound together by the strongest feelings of nationality and animated by the deepest sentiments of religious enthusuom—an army that was composed of a large number of disciplined soldiers, brought to a high state of perfection by foreign officers, and with a field of artillery more powerful than that pos sessed by say European nation, not only in the number, but also in the calibre of the gnus. I need not say that in the coarse of that day the army commanded by Lord Comb captured 210 guns, of which a large proportion wine nine 'minden, and many 18 pounders; and we all know bow bravely and skilfully duce guns were served. My noble friend, therefore, had to encounter not an ordinary army, but one of tbis bravest that India has ever men ; and in the face of more difficulties, by the micoaquerable spirit and the attachment of his army, and by th e confidence he in spired in that army, he achieved a most glorious;victory, and my noble friend is now this day in the proud position of re ceiving his just reward. (Cheers.) lam in the presence of a number of the officers of the Hut Indian army, and I will my of them, that no army in Europe can beat of braver, moo accomplished, or more faithful ofll2ers than the East Indian service. (Hear.) I need only mention the names of Pollock, of Nod, of Gilbert, of Little, of Broadfoot, and of Lake—(cheers), who have &diminished themselves in that service, and in her Mejesty'a service in India I may add the glorious names of Gough, of Sale, of Napier, and of Smith. (Renewed cheering.) I say, then, we owe the greatest obligations to the Indian army of both services. (Hear.) There is one name which I have not mentioned, and which I will take the liberty of drawing your attention to, that of a gallant sod youthful friend of mine—Major Edwards— ' whose operations before Moult= must be familiar to all. (Cheers.) In minelasioss, let me add that I cordially and sincerely return you thanks for the ho nour yo u h ave d one me, and I sincerely hope that my noble friend, Lord Mil hous* who is now at the head of the government of India, will consolidate the British power in that country by a wise administratioa of the means entrusted to him, and in that way ensure its future tranquillity. (Load cheers.) The CHAIRMAN thou gave the loath of Lord Dalhousie, the Governor-General of India, coupling with it the civil service of India. Sir JAS. LUSHINGTON retuned thank,. Lord DOUGH proposed the neat toast—the Want men who had supported hint in the many battles and difiloultiee is which he had been engaged in India, and who nobly dis anguished Uteruslves in the Sold. and abed their blood pro digally in the service of their country.

His Royal Milanese was himself an artist, and therefor* he took every opportu nity of showing his appreciation of the arts. In proposing " Prosperity to the Artiste Benevolent Fund," the Manna& stated that the society had existed 46 years, and he might safely say that this fast was • *adds°. tort' prod of its madam ; for in these thus no institution could last so long that did not carry the public with ft. The hon. gentleman, in 'puking of the life of an artist, alluded to the precarious nature of the employment, and observed that it was a great disadvantage to m-mbsze of the proles non that they IMO obliged to attempt the performance of groat things at too early a period of artistic life. The his tory of this fund Was well known, and the institution ap peared to him to matte all the important elements which *odd be brought together for a charitable purpose. The twisty had already done much good, and it would do much more if the public would owne forward to give it that sup port which so excellent en institution deserved. The tout was responded to with great enthusiasm, and the chairman read a letter from the Hon. Mr. Phipps, stating that her Majesty had presented a donati , m of 100 ohms to the institution.

A deputation from the council of DUBLIN the Chamber of Commerce had an interview yesterday with the Lord Lieutenant relative to the contemplated abolition of the viceroyalty. The Mercantile Advertiser, wh:ch mentions the circumstance, states that they were re esived by his excellency with the utmo,t kindness, bat that the result has not yet transpired. Mr. J.

The following government apwintments have been made: Dr. Madden to be Secretary of the Loan Fund, in the rcom of Mr. C. Piesse, promoted to the colonies. The Rev.

The trial of Dr. Langley for the murder of his wife terminated yesterday evening, at the Nenagh Ardses, in the acquittal of the prisoner. The case, which was a very remarkable one, and occupied the court for two days, attracted considerable aizention. Tne prisoner was a physician, practising in the town of Nenagh for several years. He had been married for 13 or 16 years to his wife, the daughter of a respectable clergyman named Poe, in the same town, and was charged with murdering her by confining her while sick and diseased to an unwholesome room, and by refusing to allow her to provide proper food for herrelf, and neglecting and refusing to pro vide it for her. This treatment was said to have occurred between s'l]. December, 1848, and let May, 1849, and the motive for it was alleged to have been an unfortunate attachment which the prisoner entertained for a niece of his wife. Letters were produced in evidence in which the prisoner confessed that attachment, and brought charges of infidelity against his wife to excuse the hatred which he felt for her. However, it appears from the testi mony of the witnesses that Mre. Langley died of diarrhces, and the jury acquitted the prisoner of either murder or manslaughter. One of the remarkable circumstances connected with the case was the fact of the prisoner having abstained,' from food for forty days in the prison, taking nothing during that rime but water, and also refusing to have his beard removed. The murder of Mr. Woolsey, of Cloonagh-honse, near Portadown, continues to excite much latexes: in the north of Ireland. The inquest had not termi nated when the last accounts left, and the BeTot News Letter states: That from the evidence there is as yet no positive charge against any individueL The deceased was at litigation on several occasions eith his relations end others, and had been successful in ejecting them out of small portions of land. Then has therefore, existed between him and them so much coldness aa to warrant the surmise that he was shot by some of those persons who may have supposed themselves blrehly treated by him. His brother was apprehended on suspicion of bong a guilty party in the dreadful transaction, but was on Wednesday liberated by order of the magistrates, as there was no evidence to warrant their holding him. He attended during part of the examination of the witneues yesterday. When leaving, we reedved information that Mr. B. Boyd, who is brother-in-law to the deceased, and his son, were apprehended on suspicion. Accounts, says the Freeman, have reached town from the Very Rev. Mr. Mathew, announcing his being in good health, at Columbus, state of Georgia, and preparing to continue his mission on to New Orleans. Baron Prochaska has arrived from the seat of the late war in Hungary, to join his family at Dromana, the mansion of the Right Hon. Lord Stuart De Denim MURDER IN NEWCASTLE. A second edition of the Newcastle Guardian says It is with feelings of deep pain and regret that we have to record the death of a woman in this town, early this morning, under circumstances which have given rise to a general suspicion that a foul deed of violence has been committed. It appears, from the particulars which we have been able to obtain, up to the hour of going to press with our second edition, that et an early hour this (Saturday) morning —about one o'clock, one informant says—the policeman on duty in the neighbourhood of St. Nicholas' Churchyard, heard cries of murder," followed by those of "police." He proceeded to Cloggers' Entry, at the bead of the Side, from which direction the cries pre °ceded, and enter ed the house of Patrick Forbes, on the top fist of a wretched tenement, inhabited by the lowest class of the population. On going into the room he found • woman lying on the bed, apparently in a dying state. Forbes was sitting in • chair, almost undressed. Oa the floor of the room there was a pool of blood, and the man's hands, sad such clothes se he had on were also stained with blood. Of coarse the policeman at once proceeded to examine fur ther the appearance and condition of the woman on the bed; she was nearly in a state of nudity, unable to speak, breath less' and being In the agmies of death, almost immediately afterwards died. Further surgical examination warrants the belief that she has been stabbed in • moat shocking manner in the lower part of the abdomen. The man, who it was subsequently ancerteiaed was her husband, did not give any account as to the probable cause of death, and very properly was not questioned by the police on the subject. He was taken into custody sad removed to the Westgate police station. A coroner'sary was summoned, which met this forenoon at Hr. Sayers, sign of the Blue Bell, in the Side, and near the place where the death took place. The jury having assembled, and the body of the deceased having bun identified by her daughter, the coroner, /dr. Stoker, suggested that the inquest should be at once adjourned, in order to afford Mr. Heine, the surgeon for the police, an Lago opporttusi iice °meet : , thosefranmakii4ptiratpoluonn4trhoorkeofiotbiecetEalitia. searching I ;t hh ti es on j andr h o use cantmhea. plied with this suggestion, and the inquest was adjourned to Tuesday next. Upon the prisoner, when conveyed to the Westgate station-house and darched, were found two knives. He was charged with having murdered his wife, when he said " I did - net strike her," He then went into • long rambling statement as to his having slept with his wife that night, but he did not remember that anything particular had happened. About four o'clock he was removed to the Manors' station. The house has been partly searched, and a blunt instru ment found with which the murder may have been com mitted. It is utterly 'spoilable for us to state in print the Manner in which it is suppeeed to have been used. The lower parts of her person were saturated with blood. We understand there will be an examination before the magistrates late this aftersoon, but whether public or private cannot yet be ascertained. Our reporters are at ' ten to the case, and will furnish us with the very latest We hear that the man is of violent character, and that ha and his wife havenot lived together on good terms.
