The notice of this important Meeting appeared in the STAR of Saturday; and the Rules, Regulations, and objects of the Great Metropolitan Political Union are this day published in our first page. We formerly stated that Mr. O'CoNwet.t. had been invited to take the chair. Nothing could have been more auspici ous than the weather. A vast concourse began to as semble about the Eagle Tavern in the City Road—the place of meeting—so early as ten o'clock ; and the whole of the Tea-gardens were completely filled by twelve. There could not have been less than 30,000 people, nearly all of whom appeared to be a superior class of tradesmen. Mr. O'CONNELL did not arrive till half-past twelve. Ile came in an open tarouche, accompanied by Mr. Hr sr. After some preliminary arrangements in the Committee Room, they descended to .the hustings, fol lowed by a large party of well-dressed individuals.— A number of Ladies, for whom accommodation had been provided on benches on the hustings, were present. The business of the Meeting having been opened by Mr. uirr , and Mr. O'CONNELL proposed as Chairman, the intimation was received by a loud burst of applause from the persons assembled,—and with three cheers. When the patriotic Member for Clare advanced to the front of the hustings, he was received with renewed ac clamation. He then began to address the Meeting; and after returning thanks for the high honour conferred on him, and stating this to be the proudest day in the whole of his political career, he proceeded to discuss the various topics on which public attention is at present so intensely fixed. Every word of the patriotic Chairman's address was received with the most marked silence, except when inter rupted by shouts of applause. It would be vain for us to attempt at this late hour the faintest outline of this speech. We shall do so to-morrow at some length. We left him speaking at two o'clock. The most perfect order prevailed. A strong police force was present : be sides the multitude assembled in the Gardens, there were several thousands outside, who vainly struggled for ad mittance. Mr. O'CONNELL was dressed in a dark green sur tout, and green trousers—a blue car, with gold band. • - PROMISED RETRENCHMENT. The expense of maintaining an extraordinary military force in Ireland was a favourite argument urged by the advocates of concession to the Catholics. Englishmen were out of the reach of the miseries endured in a society torn by party feuds and religious prejudices, but the ob jection of expense came home to their business and their bosoms, and the increasing distress of the country gave it increased weight. The reduction of the army in Ireland, as a certain consequence of concession, thus became a principal argument in the last debates upon the subject. Well, then, the conces sion has been made, yet twelve month; have elapsed without the reduction of a single soldier, while the' Minister, and with him the Irish Members, boast that the measure has produced all the internal tranquillity anticipated by its most sanguine advocates. Wby then hare not the public been allowed to reap the promised fruits? The reason is a curious one.—They are told the reduction of the army in Ireland at the present moment would be premature. To appreciate the fallacy of this ob jection, it is only necessary to admit the existence of the tranquillity which Ministers assert. The objection of time would be contemporaneous with a proposed reduc tion at any future period. When the proposition shall .be made next year, the Minister may say as he says now, " Oh, it is not time yet."—One time may be more con venient and more advantageous than another for the adoption of a particular measure, but if it rest upon true and solid basis it can never be wrong. If the measure of Catholic concession has been successful the tranquillity which now prevails must be permanent, and the social system must continue to improve while the refusal toreduce the military force would excite an appre henbion that the constitution has been sacrificed to the attainment of a transient and uncertain good. But it is unnecessary to advert to any such apprehension as a niotive of action on the part of the Ministers. Where then is a people plunged in distress, and an oligarchy that either denies its existence, or will not condescend even to inquire the means to relieve it, the Government will never believe that the military force can be too large, and that we apprehend is the basis of the 'present Army Estimates. Friday night Lord ALTHORPE asked why all mention of the very able and gallant achievement in the gulph of Patras was never announced in the Gazette? One of the Phocee made answer that be wouldinquire and inform the House on a future occasion ; which,•being interpreted, means that he knew there was no answer except envy and dislike of the best and bravest officer in the service, (whose only fault was his owing his appointment to Mr. 'CANNING'S government,) and that he (the Phoca)must have time allowed him to invent one ! We shall see what sophistry delay will be able to supply in default of an obvious act of justice. The Bank Directors have given notice that they will receive applications for loans of monef of not less than 2,0001. to be advanced on Exchequer Bills, India Bonds, and Bills of Exchange for a period of not less than ten days, nor extending beyond the 15th of April. This is done in order to prevent any scarcity of money during the time that the heavy payments are made into the Exche quer; and from the circumstance of a similar measure having been adopted by the Directors in December but, it is believed they will adopt such every quarter while a necessity is imagined to exist for this assistance. Several grinders and 6le-makers have left this town and neighbourhood toproceed to America.—Sheffield Mercury. The merchants and manufacturers of Barnsley have Presented to each private in the 3d Light Dragoons, at Present stationed in that town, two .nest shirts and Seth 'tilling ; , for their good conduct during the late riotous P"xettlings of the workmen.—Sheer Mercury.

The third number of this interesting work contains " Xenophon's Anabasis," or " the Expedition of Cyrus into Penis, and the retreat of the 10,000 Greeks out of Asia." Cyrus having engaged in an expedition against his brother Artaxerxes, king of Persia, enlisted a Greek force in his cause, which Xenophon was invited to join. In the battle of Cunaxa, which followed, Cyrus was slain, and his army completely defeated except the Greek auxiliary force, which every where overthrew the troops immediately opposed to it. A body of 10,000 men, for that was its amount, was thus left above six hun. died leagues from home, without money or provisions, or a leader, and In a country surrounded on every side by a victorious enemy.— It was in this desperate situation Xenophon assumed the command of these apparently devoted men, and by his address, his courage, and the confidence he inspired, conducted them safely back through hostile nations to .their native country. This enter. prise, which Is familiar to the classic reader, is one of the most ce lebrated military exploits recorded in ancient history, and has not been excelled by any achievement in modern times so fruitful in wars. The retreat of the French army under Napoleon, from film cow, resembled it only in the hardship& and privations to which it was exposed, but In nothing more. Xenophon, whose name has been immortalised by this extraordinary exploit, must be wane,. lodged one of the most accomplished characters of antiquity. He was a disciple of Socrates, and at once a philosopher, a deoseal, and an historian. To his talents as an author. Plutarch bean splendid testimony in a doe passage in his life of Artaxerxes, where he ex cuses himself from entering into the detail of the battle of Cunaxa, because Xenophon had already described it la so masterly a men. nor that he thinks it folly to attempt it after him: he says, that " many authors have given an account of this memorable action, but that Xenophon almost shows It; and, by the clearness of his expression, makes his reader assist with emotion at every incident, abd partake of every danger, as if the action watt not past, but pre. 11111 t." The same observation will apply to all the local and geographical Senile; the sketches of martial and pcditlcid.life; the illustrations of the Grecian character and habits, and of the barbaric pomp and splendour of the Persian camp—the whole presenting, in variety of interesting matter and in beauty of description, a master piece in literatare.—The version adopted in this volume is that of Spelman, which has been judiciously selected on account of its superior accuracy and ducidatory notes, thus exciting the attention and cariosity of the English reader, and affording every facility to their gratificadon. Despatches were brought to the Foreign Office yester day afternoon, by a gentleman from Lord Stuart de Roth say, our Ambassador at Paris. Despatches were sent off from the Colonial Office on Saturday evening, for Sir James Kempt, the Governor- General of the Canada,; and also for New Brunswick. The Lord Chamberlain visited the Duke of Wellington yesterday. A Deputation of Gentlemen interested in the Malt Trade had a conference at the Treasury with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, on Saturday. A King's messenger arrived at the Foreign Office on Friday night with despatches for the Earl of Aberdeen, from Sir Robert Gordon, our Ambassador at Constan tinople. Saturday the despatches were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the Pursers of the following ships, viz. Castle Huntly, Captain Henry A. Drummond; and Andon, Captain Timothy Smith, for Madras and China. Mr. John Vince conformed to the order of the Eccle siastical Court on Sunday last, by doing penance in the vestry-room of St. Mary-la-bonne parish church, for having slandered the character of a lady named Wells. The recantation was dictated by the Minister, and re peated by Vince in an audible voice, in the presence of the cburchwardens and the friends of the young lady, after which be was directed to be more discreet in future, and dismissed. The young lady alluded to has obtained greatiame as a vocalist in her provincial excursions, and were a great favourite at Sinclair 's Tivoli last summer. Lord DARLINGTON has professed himself the sup porter of Ministers, because he considers them "Tories acting upon Whig principles." It would appear from their votes that many of our rotten Whigs would lay the same flattering unction to their souls, and justify ther apoetacy by his example. It becomes, therefore, ne cessary to expose the fallacy of this plea, which will be found a sophism too shallow to bear examination. There are no means by which to discriminate between public men, but their words and actions. A c co r din g , th ere f ore , to ord DA LINGTON'S definition, Ministers are still ' Tories or sincere converts to Whigism : that is, they are either proselytes or impostors. There is no medium between the two characters. But where has his Lordship found that ministers act upon Whig principles ? Is a refusal to admit or relieve the distress of the people a Whig principled Is excessive taxation a Whig principle ? Is an immense standing army in a time of profound peace a Whig principle ? Let his Lordship and his imitators take the whole con duct of Ministers into review, and we defy them to show in it a single quality on which the Whigs have ever claimed distinction.—No, no, this flimsy pretence will not avail the recreant, craven Whigs-of whom the present Session of Parliament has already brought out so many...— It will require s thicker veil to bide their gross and glaring apostacy, their unp r i nc ipl e d des e rtion of the canes of ciao people.

A clever contemporary Ras termed these pictures the high iraged+ and low farce of paintfirs. This distinction is. in part corrett ; slam it would be difficult to select... Mime tout:bind *sae from history than the Death of Buries ; so far the definition holds good ; but the picture of Punch is not merely low farce. as we 'think we can show in contruiting the breadth of its bu:nour with a few of the more sober accessories of the scene. The Devils of Eerier. The subject is taken from one of the most brilliant epochs in Athenian history, and, as Mr. Hayvion obeerves in his " Desaip. don," the particular moment hinges on a disputed passage. . " Plutarch says Eucles rushed from the battle of Marathon. as soon as the victory was decided ; ran wounded and exhausted as he was, to the city. and appeared in arms and heated,—" ra : ; gvair.: .s'ta'r "'"—shouting, " Hail, we triumph !" ond dropped instantly dead. The Greek professor of Oxford thinks coo worms means tne chief magistrates or primates ; the Greek professor of Cambridge thinks it refers to the first houses he came to ; and thus the moat eminent 'oboists differing as to the exact meaniog. I have taken the liberty of supposing that he ran to the houses of the first magistrates to announce the victory ; and then his tech's', revert ing to his family, that he rushed to his own house, and dropp‘d dead just as he reached the threshold—huzzaing as he fell ! • This is the moment selected. In the centre is Rucks pilz, wounded, and dying : —his eye half closed —the hand which holds the shield relaxing—his limbs tottering, and. the honour of die soldier stimulating him to the last, he grasps with dying energy the broken . Persian standard he has fought for aid brought triumphantly fror.i the field. He has, as a list effort, lifted his arms as be shouted, " Hail, we triumph !" but his strength has failed, and his whale weight is thrown on the right leg and bent knee and foot. which are double up as he falls, • "It has been attempted to give hint the look of a soldier, fresh • from a fierce fight--his helmet is cleft in—his crest is shivered—hi, sword is disp!aced, sad in the contest he has lost one sandal and peace. " Right opposite Euchre, hesitating and distracted, is his wife ; who is supposed to have rushed out with her newly-boen infant, at hearing the voice of her husband; his pale but wain( fact—slits bloody and exhausted look—his feeble attempt to fold bee in his arms, and his dropping attitude, have told her at once the truth. With one foot in the act of going forward, she leans a little back on the other, and pressing her hand to her heated brain, seems afraid to believe the evidence of her convictions. Clinging below to his mother, is the eldest boy, recognising his dear father. bet terrified at his appearance; and behind are the old nurse, and the aged father of Eucles.—the one thanking the gods his son is victorious though dying, while [the poor old woman is weeping at what she is sup— posed to have felt would be the truth, the moment she beheld her Miter. " In front, on a step, Is a figure swinging forward to catch Elides. while a young woman, seated on the step, is looking at him with great interest, and a young girl dinging to her is regarding him with terror. Immediately above is a Greek on horseback in the do. mestic dress of the Cheeks, with the Chlamys (or cloak) and Petas is (or pliable leather hat,) housing." Probably it needs little beyond this brief description to point out the tragic affliction of this picture. Powerful and painful as it is, we had almost said we could revel in its sublimity, for such an epithet it truly deserves. The figure of the " pale, wounded, and dying" Bodes is admirably drawn. Mr. Hayden ea plains away an objection already raised to the foreshortening of the right leg and foot, (which has been considered violent,) by observing, that' " if the foot was In a simple, easy, straight-forward position with I the leg, all appearance of weakness instantly vanishes ; but the muscles having quite lost their strength, the weight of the body and limbs presses on the foot, and the foot is doubled sideways, as it is unable to keep its straightforward appearance from the muscles having lost their vigour." Thus we leave the disputed point, for the grand cf. fort of ire &soldier "fresh from a fierce fight." This may be painfully yet how is the woe sharpened by the opposite of the wife of es End. Over the agonies of exhaustim and death, imalleally In the face of Ender, gleams a faint and feeble nit of joy at the sight of his wife: her attitude and boo me those of distraction and woe, and the struggle is ra l ltg e h a tened by the fond boy, and the figures in the back of the scem du sheet, it would be difficult to give the reader an idea of the awl with which the sublime pathos of this picture strikes the spectator. Our mind's-eye, as it were, saddens at its recollection, sad we must enjoy its perfections wore to ourselves than at a "private view," as on Saturday, which to say the truth, from the crowd of visitors, was more like a public day. The picture has been purebasad in fifty shares of ten guineas each ; but its possessor remains to be decided. " Endes" bas laid so strong a bold on our sympathies, that " Punch," with its pieties and gravities must stand over till our nest number ; the humour of the subject will not evaporate in the meantime.—Mirror. The Hamburgb Papers state that there is great sick ness it Copenhagen; 30,000 persons are under medical care, and it is supposed that there are 10,000 others who are endeavouring to effect their own cure. 1 1 Mr. Gerard Callaghan's election having been declared void, a contest for the representation of the city of Cork may be expected. It is said that the present member for the county, Mr. Boyle, will be a candidate, in pursuance of an arrangement made between the two Noble Earls, with whom he and the other county member are severally closely connected. Over the door of a vendor of varieties in a country vil lage is—" Licentious dealer in Backy and Snuff." The much distressed plaid business is beginning to revive in Leeds. The market at Bradford on Tuesday was brisk, as usual. The Halifax district trade is improving. The card-making business, which is one of the staple manufactures of Halifax and the immediate neighbour hood, is comparatively brisk, and this is the more grati fying as it serves to indicate the generally improve.l state of the manufactures.—Leeds Mercury.
