MR. O'CONNELL. FROM Tat DUBLIN LIMNING POST OP TtISDAY. This day several of the Reporters of the Morning Papers received notice to attend at the Police Office, Palace-street, to give testimony as to the words used by Mr. O'Connell at the late meeting of the Association. Mr. Vousden, Reporter of the Morning Post, was called in and questioned by Alderman b arley, as to whether he wasinesent at the meeting in question?— Mr. Vousden admitted that he was present. The Al derman then questioned him as to the precise words made use of on that day, in refereee to Bolivar and South America. Mr. Vousden replied, that he had not Iris notes by him; that he had no accurate recollection on the subject, and that, even if he had, he did not think that the Press was the medium through which the business ora common informer was to be transacted. Mr. Vousden was then asked if Mr. Charles O'Fla betty was present ? Mr. Vousden replied that he was. The Magistrate then asked, if he was present at the pe riod Mr. O'Connel spoke r f Bolivar Mr. Vousden re plied that he did not know ; that Mr. OTlaherty was quite competent to answer for himself; and that he sup paled he would, in. courtesy to the Magistrates, attend on the letter which the Magistrates addressed to him. Mr. Vousden then withdrew. Mr. J. H. Leech, Mr. Haydn and his reporter, Mr. Byrne, Mr. B:ic, and another Gentleman of the Bar, then entered the Office together. The Magistrate asked Mr. Bric if he was summoned ? To which Mr. Bric replied in the negative. Alderman Darley—This is a private information, and it is requested that every one who has not been sum moned may withdraw. Mr. Haydn was asked if he were summoned, or the Gentleman that accompanied him ? Mr. Haydn re plied in the negative, and that one of the Gentlemen was a Barrister, who attended on his behalf, and the other his Reporter. Mr. Haydn further remarked, that he came there to protest against his Reporter giving any information on the subject, or in any manner being accessary to the purpose of- the Attorney-General.— Mr. Haydn, his Reporter, and the Barrister, (whose name we did not learn) then withdrew. Mr. J. H. Leech, Reporter to The freeman's Journal, Mr. Elrington, Reporter to Saunders's ,‘ews Letter, re rnained• in the room—Mr. Leech was asked by Mr. Graves if he attended the Meeting of the Association on Saturday last ? Mr. Leech replied in the negative. Alderman Darley—The Meeting on Thursday we mean. Mr. Leech—Yea, I attended the Meeting on Thursday. Alderman Darley—Do you recollect reporting the speech of Mr. O'Connell ? Mr. Leech—Mr. O'Connell made several speeches. Alderman Darley—lle speech about South America and Boli n. I allude to. _ _ . Mr. Leech—That speech did not appear in the Freeman's Journal- Alderman IDA aLty—That is nbt the question I asked you. What I desire to know is, did you take notes of that part of the speech respecting South America? Mr. Leech—l cannot really say whether I did or not, without referring to my note-book, which I have not got about me. Alderman DARLEV—I see the Gentlemen of the Press have no disposition to give us any information on this subject, and,,if we should think it necessary to exa mine them more fully, we shall resort to the usual legal method.—Turning .to , Mr. Eh ington, the Magistrate then said, " Mr. Eirington, it is not necessary to eia mine you in this stage of the business." Mr. C. O'Flaherty, Reporter for . the Morning Post, was questioned as to the report that appeased in that Paper—he said the words, , as reported in that Paper, were substantively correct. The words having been repeated-to him, he replied, they were the. same as re ported in the Morning Post (one of the Magistrates took- down the words alluded to), and that he was the person who reported the proceediiigs. We have received a file of Port au Prince Gazettes to the 10th of October. The Gazette of the -9th contains a spirited circular of Boyer to the different Military Authorities, calling upon them to use great energy for the defence of the country. lIADIEURGH, DEC. 7.—( From the Allgemeine Zeitung) —A M. N., of Brescia, who was sentenced to death in his absence, for his participation in the intrigues of the Cabornari in Austrian Italy—(he had fled to England) —has been so inconsiderate as to come here, and not even to change his name, which, as was easily to be foreseen, led t) his discovery, and to his arrest, at the instance of the Austrian Minister. It is probable that he will be delivered up, and sent away in a few days. Letters from Gancialoupe have been received to the 30th October. They inform us that the Governor of that Colony haii issued a notice that the importation of Indian corn, rice, &c. in limited quantities, would be permitted there from that date. This was caused by the distress existing among the inhabitants, occasioned by the dreadful weather experienced there in Sept. last. Wednesday the brig Indian, Captain MaTitras, ar rived at Liverpool from Quebec in twenty•four days. Amongst the passengers were, Nicolas Vincent Isawanhouhi, principal Christian Chief and Captain of the Huron nation ; Andre Itomain Isawauhissen, and Stan Was Coske Arathaha, principal Chiefs of the Council; and Michel Word Teacheandale, Chief of the Warriors of the same na tion.—These Indian Chiefs on Wednesday paid this. respects to the Mayor, and on Thursday evening set off fur London. A most disgraceful occurrence took place at Arundel on Tuesday; a man took his wife a mile out of the town, and then 'conducted her back with a halter round her neck, he having been told that be must put the rope ot, at that distance, or the sale would not be legal: he brought her into the market, both appearing on very .good terms, and put her up at Si. when a sailor bid V. and the bargain being soon struck, he paid the money and conducted her away. Since the announcement in this Paper of Mr. Bucx- INGHAM . 3 intention to publish the Oriental herald twice a month, severe and continued indisposition has im peded the accomplishment of his wishes,, by incapaci :Ating him, for the present, from those active exertions - which so material an increase oflabour required. In consequence of this unexpected impediment, he is corn netted to defer the issue of the additional Monthly 'Number, intended to have been introduced with the , :om:nencenrent of the ensuing year.. The work will, therefore, continue precisely on the same footing as heretofore, until formal notice be given of the period at r. hick the meditated improvement may take place. Friday seri night, a son of Mr.Cox,itorse-dealer, in Can tei bury, who is on his vacation,. wasplaying in a loft on the premises of his father, where a chaff cutting machine is crecieJ, incautiously, %lade it was in t apid motion, placed his foot 1)n tire strap; the other foot immediately came in contacrwith the knife . , and was neatly severed limn the leg at Quaker's admonition to a man who was pouring forth a rolley of ill language to him--" Have a care, friend ; thou =yen rut, thy Lice against my fiat!" • - %dg,l THE ARMY. • _ It is reported, that Six Regiments are ordered to India, and that Ten new Regiments will be raised as soon as Parliament assembles. A detachMent of sixty men, selected from the Ist (Duke of York's Own) Rifle Corps, marched on the 24th instant, from Can terbury to Chatham, under the command of Liestrenant Octaves, for the purpose of joining, the Second Battalion at Barbadoes.— The Ist (Duke of York's Own) Rifles, haying discharged all fo reigners, and being now composed of between three and four hun dred fine spirited young lads, it bids fair (under the special protec tion of its illustrious Colonel, the COMMANDIIII RI Cuter) to be ene of the finest Corps hi the British service. NA PAL INTELLIGENCE. Dummies, Dec. 21.—We are sorry to announce tht total wreck of the North Sur, of this pert, loaded with oats, and bound from Westport, in Ireland, to the port of Liverpool. The weather was so thick that the crew had not seen the land for four days, and on the tempestuous morning of the 13th current, the schooner struck on a reef of rocks twelve sidles front the Island of Culinso. Here she beat violently for about ten minutes, and then passed over the rocks into smooth water ; hut, by this time her bottom; was so much damaged, that the crew (four men and a master), had some difficulty in escaping with their lives. Not au atom of propclty I was saved, and the vessel, we believe, was not insured. CHRISTMAS MORN. BY THE REVEREND GEORGE CROLY. Tuts is the Morn of Victory, When the Victor' came to die. The World was dark, its guilty gaze Saw not o'er Heaven its splendours blaze . That told the Shepherds Ile was born ; It heard not on that breaking Morn The Angel Harps, the glorious hymn, Front bunting lips of Cherubim. That Morn the Roman 'Caesar sate, • Unconscious that a POTINTATIC Was come, to whom his laurelled brow Must stoop—the mighty man of woe. The Pontiff at his Altar stood, Unconscious that a nobler blood Than ever streamed, that hour was given Pure from the summit Throne of Heaven. That KINGLY Vicvn Fame, not robed In gold, with trooping spears englobed ; Flamed on his brow no Royal gem, Hz came—the Babe of Bethlehem ! He was all power; the tempest sky Might have come down, his canopy ; The rushing of His chariot wheels, Told by the thunders Herald's peals : The Bashes of His midnight light'ning, The Earth through all her chambers brighening ; Till Mankind, startled from their dumber, Saw come the numbers without number, . Rank upon rank, from Heaven's high steep, The Seraph legion's gorgeous sweep ; Still more and more the pomp revealing, The golden trumpet louder pealing, Till in their centre blazed the Throne On which He sate—the First Great Owe. There was no pomp—for on this Morn A Man of sacrifice was born : He came to be a stranger here, R'en in his tribe; a wanderer, He came to pray, to weep, to die, And wiu for Man the victory Yesterday the LORD CH MY Justice finished the busi. ness of the Sittings after Term, at Westminster, and the Court was adjourned to the Gth of January, when Sir C. ,ABBOT will sit at the Court, Guildhall, to try London causes. Monday se'nnight a most barbarous act was com mitted on the lands of Annaholty, near Castle Connell, by cutting the tails off two yearling heifers, and hough ing them, the property of Mr. James Doadon. Tuesday evening, about nine o'clock, a bullock in a very infuriated state, ran through the village of Sturry, and down to Fordwich ; in its progress it tossed several persons; among others a young - lad of the name of HOOKER, who was severely gored in the face. The evening being dark, several people were thrown before they were aware of their danger. After many inef fectual attempts to secure him, he took to the River, and kept the people at bay ;-=in this situation several shots were fired at him without effect, and all attempts to secure him were unavailing. In this dilemma, Mr. BBNJAMIN WEBB and Mr. THORPE, butcher of Scurry, plunged into the river, where it was eight feet deep, and seized the beast by the nostrils, drove a knife into its throat, and. killed it. It was then dragged from the river, and restored to the owner, who had driven k from Ashford Market the same day. Between three and four o'clock on Thursday morn ing the inhabitants of Fore -street, Limehouse, and, in deed, the whole neighbourhood, were thrown into the utmost confusion and alarm, by the springing-of the watchmen's rattles, in consequence of the water burst ing, into their houses in torrents. Such was the impe tuosity of the element, that the oldest inhabitant of the neighbourhood clnnot recollect such a flood, attended with such a sacrifice of property. The water, at one time, was four feet deep in the streets, and the cellars of the houses were cooplitely deluged. Alter the tide returned, men were employed in ejecting the water from the houses, byineans of pumps and buckets, but some of the cellars were yesterday three or four feet deep. Persons occupying wharfs and.hluse; along the banks of the River, from Barking to Wapping, have sustained considerable mischief. At Barking, a wall was forced down by the torrent, and, in an instant, every place was overflowed to a considerable depth. We are happy to state that no lives were lost. Friday ie - 'rnight,:about four o'clock, two men named Maurice and Michael Fitzgerald, were attacked at their house on the lands of Itobertstown, near Shanagolden, in the County of Limerick, by a party of insurgents who had their faces blackened, consisting of about thirty, several of whom had fire arms. On approach. ing the honse, the party fired a shot at one of the in. mates of it, when rushing in the door from them ; they then went in, knocked down, and dreadfully cut both of the Fitzgeralds, and shortly after their departure fired several shots. Someof the same party also searched the house rf a man nalted O'Donnel, who has a si milar contract for a pan of the road for the same pur pose, but he fortunately was absent. A man who ap peared to be the leader, cart ied a cocked pistol in his hand while searching for O'Donnel, the c'mtents of which he said he intended for him. Towards the end of October, an Algerine squadron of four sail was seen cruizing between Durazzo and Vallona. This citcumitance - greatly alarmed the mer chants, but their fears proved to be unfounded; for the 'quadron, though it sent aimed boats. to visit the ships that it met, did not iitinder them. It Was afterwards. learnt that it went tti Pintas, to convey maur to the• Tut ks. rg ir.r~ ~~ _:r. _ '3,f 4 UNIVERSIT Yard CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, DECEMBER. 25.

The Commissioners were Don Pedro Guali Minister fur Foreign Affairs, on the part of Colombia, and Mr. Anderson, Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States, on the part of that Government. Such is the state, of the arts in Colombia, that a Gentleman of Caraccas was recently obliged to send to Philadelphia for a humble stone, with an inscription on it, to place over. the grave of a deceased connection. Neither La Guyra nor Caraccas could produce this hum ble effort of mechanism. Advices have been received from the Cape of Good Hope to the'l7th of October. By these we learn that the Bengal Government were using every eaertien to form a very formidable army on the Sylhet frontier, for the purpose of attacking theßurmesecapital on that side. —The money subscribed in London (5,0001.) for the distressed emigrants at the Cape, had been received; the amount appears to be given to them in blankets, in household furniture, and various articles of husbandry. It appears to have been distributed with great care, and with reference to their immediate wants. It had created great rejoicings among the poor settlers, who are re presented to have suffered greatly from the disappoint ment of their hopes as to the crops, &c. The Earl Wellington has arrived off Dover from Lima, in HO days, having left Callao on the 2d of September. She brings dispatches from Mr. Rowcroft to the. Secretary of State fOr Foreign Affairs. Before she left the Bay of Callao, advices had been received, that after the skirmishes between the outposts, Bolivar at length brought the Spanish General Cantarac to a general battle the latter end of August, near a place called Iscuchaca, and completely defeated him, killing 6,000 of his best troop. There no longer existed any doubt of the secession of the Spanish General Olaneta from the Royal cause: he was situated in th* province of Potosi. Late advices from A , equipa state, an action was fought between him and Valdes, who was left. by Cant arac as a check upon him. Olaneta was defeated, though he had taken prisoner the Spanish General Caratela. It was the general opinion there must soon be an end to the war, or, in fact, that it was finished. The Asia and corvette had not arrived at Lima on the 2d of September, and it was stated they *ere lying at Chiloe still, with sick crews. It is understood, that in future the Public will not be ' allowed admission to the 'Chapel of Nesvgate, for the purpose of healing what is termed the " condemned sermon," usually preached on the Sundays preceding an execution.

The General Annual Meeting of this Society was on Thursday held at the City of London Tavern, to receive the Report of the Committee, and for other purposes. At one o'clock GEORGE LvALL, Esq. was unanimously called to the Chair, and commenced the business of the Meeting by proposing that the Report be read. Mr. Cock, the Secretary, was accordingly requested to read it. It was of considerable length, and detailed the various acts of the CovEmittee in the past year, and referred to the several measures of the Legislature, con nected with the shipping interest, during the same pe riod. The commencement of the Repo( tis so import ant, that we feel it our duty to give it entire. It is as follows: a l REVENUE AND NAVIGATION LAWS.—At length the Committee have the gratification of congratulating the ship-owners upon the near accemplish meat of that most important object, to which their wishes and efforts have for several years past been directed, namely, the consolidation of the numerous Laws relating to Navi• gation and Trade, and the sepatatlon of the Customs from the Excise. " At the close of the last Session of Patli.tment, a Bill was introduced by Mr. Herries, Secretary to the Trea sury, for repealing no less than 469 Laws relating to the Customs; and also four other Bills, re-enacting such of die provisions of those Laws as it had been thought expedient to retain, viz. " A Bill for the general Regulation of the Customs. " A Bill for granting Duties of Customs. " A Bill for the Prevention of Smuggling. " A Bill for regulating the Customs of the Isle of Man. " Further Bills are also in preparation, viz : " A Bill for giving certain Bounties fur the Encouragement of Trade and Navigation. " A Bill for the Registry of Vessels. " A Bill for regulating Vessels carrying Passengers, in cer tain cases. _ _ " A Bill for regulating the Trade of the British Possessions abroad. 44 The Bill to repeal the several laws relating to the Customs. is intended to effect its object, first, by pat ' ticularising those Acts and parts of Acts which are in tended to be repealed, in order that they may be ex punged from the Statute-book ; and next, by general description; because, however careful the researches upon which the reference to these existing /Ws may be prepared, some enactments inserted in Statutes chiefly relating to other matters, might still be overlooked. The general repeal will, therefore, obviate the possible evil of any such omission, and at the same time serve as a legal declaration that no law of a date anterior to that of the new code, can continue to have any force. " The Bill for the general regulation of the Customs is intended to constitute the chief and fundamental law of the Customs, for the government of that department, and for the collection of the large revenue which is levied under that authority. Under the three general heads of Inwards," Outwards,' and 4 Coastwise,' this Bill is to contain all the rules relating to the arrival or departure of ships, and to the landing cr shipping of goods. It will also comprise the Law of Navigation ; all the provisions of which, as enforced in every part of the world, are to be re-enacted in it. Some of these may not appeir to be strictly connected with the Law of the Customs of the United Kingdom; but it has been deemed desirable by the Lords of the Treasury, that the whole subject should be arranged under one head; and consider ing, how lar a portion of the Law of Navigation is, in effect, the l alv of imports and exports, it could scarcely have been classed otherwise than as a pin of the general law of the Customs... It will probably be found, when this-comprehensive Ifilthas-bcen fully considered, that there are some subjects of a local, temporary, or pecu liar nature, contained in the Acts to be repealed, which are not provided for in it; and their Lordships have s therefore, considered that a separate Bill to include such subjects may be necessary ; the attention of Mr. J. D.' Hume, the C..inwtroller of the Customs (who bas been selecvd by the Board for this difficult and impor tant work] has accordingly . been directed to a Bill of that supplementary description." Captain LOCKYER — isq - 77 - 3uitited to command the R0312421r, of 50 guns, at Chathanhin the room of Captain Muccsvr, who is appointed to command the blockade service between Heathy Head and the Land's End.
