In our report of the dinner given to Lord tP'sfge Reresford, iy inne mis ate in our printing-office, the following speech, da mned by Mr Saunderson, one of the :limbers for the county, east omitted. We now give it insertion, and are proud in tieing ally to rank amongst the opposers of priests, and priestly moire, a 6e dune of Mr. Saunderson's weight, rank, and chwee et : •• Mr. SAt; lent neou said that the cause which had brought the gentlemen of the county of Cavan together that evening, and had associated them with the Noble hoed who had honoured them sith ills company as their guest, would, he hoped, associate them with every man who wished well to the landlords and Protestants of Ireland, who were in fact defeated at the late election in Waterford. Our simation, said Mr. Saunderson, with respect to our noble gin st, brings to my recollection a circumstance which is related in the Roman history,—that the Roman gene ra, being defeated by Hannibal, was reeeired, on his return home, with great honour by the Roman people, and obtained the thinks of the Senate for having done his duty, and because he had ret despaired of his country. 1 trust our Noble guest does not despair of his country—but will have all the circumstances monected with the late contest brought fully beam Parliament. I am sure it sill amen that the forty.shilling freeholders prove a great drawback to the progress of the improvement of Ireton ; . as mil as a source of mistertune to the poor tenants themselves. flow sfien have we heard them, with teara in their eyes, lamenting that they had votes—struggling with their feelings of gratitude and at tachment to their landlords, apprehensive of the consequtneni of loving their favour.—and full of terror as well at the certainty of winging the priests, and the threatened loss of those rights which they believe essential to their saltation, as at the denounced r,,geance of the factious against such as should vote contrary to their directions. The Catholic Association now boast, that al though they cannot themselves pass the threshold of St. Stephen's, yet that they have the key in their possession of the door through 'bid' an Irishman mast pass to enter. They have faded in their attempt to keen out my noble friend, Lord larnham—(cheers)— they have failed in overcoming the gentlemen of the county of (aeon (cheers)—but, when we consider the state of the represents tier. of this country, and the general result of the late election, we must dhow that there is too much truth in their assertion ; and, in fact, to most counties in Ireland, a Candidate must not only be a supporter of emboli: Emancipation in order to ensure his success, hut he must prepare himself to be a Representative of the Catholic Association; he must not be merely the friend of hie Catholic felkrsubjects, but he must be an enemy to the Protestant Esta- Waltman. (Hear, hear.) For myself, gentlemen, you have elected nie free and unpledged upon all subjec t!. a+ o:te of your nerve aestatives; and I see many gentlemen here, who, as well as myself, lore always kept themselves free from all panics. Bin Ime none trio will patiently submit to the ignominious thraldom which triton and priesteraft have endeavoured to hold us in ; and I trust ad Iseciontldent our nutted mallows will presents our county it but from this ignominious yoke."

MIAs ROTHSCHILD'S MARRIAGE.—At an early hour on Monday morning, Stamford Hill, the country residence of N. M. Rothschild, Esq. was in a great state of bustle, and most of its inhabitants were on the qui vire, waiting the approaching hour when Hymen was to tie the knot of a sou and daughter of the house of Judah, whose wealthy parents have provided them with a princely dowry. The company being very select, consisting only of the relatives and family, began to assemble at an early hour. Previous to the marriage ceremony, which took place about two o'clock, the High Priest, Doctor Herschel, arrived in one of Mr. Rothschild's carriages, attended by his Secre tary and Reader to the synagogue. The High Priest was entirely clad in silk robes, and had a most reverend ap pearance. On his entering the grand saloon the signal was given for the ne..v and splendid canopy of crimson velvet and gold to be brought forward, under which the solemn ceremony took place. When finished, a suite of elegant sad splendid rooms was thrown open, and the whole of the company sat down to a most sumptuous dejeune ; after which dancing commenced, assisted by a band of music of the first order. The bride was most elegantly dressed in white satin, with the richest Brussels lace, and a great pro fusion of diamonds; most of the other ladies also wore white satin, with plumes of feathers and diamonds. About sit o'clock the bride and bridegroom left their friends, and set off in a carriage and four to the country, where they Will remain for a few days. The dancing finished about eight o'clock, when the whole of the company set down to most spit ndid dinner of all the delicacies in the season, after which dancing again commenced, which was kept up until an early hour yesterday morning. Only three or four strangers, intimate friends of Mr. Rothschild, were Present.

This town continues to be very full, and the arrivals of passengers to and from the Continent arc frequent. By the Britannia, which camc in yesterday, we lisd a strange vi sitor, an Irishman, named Prior, clothed in a sackcloth shirt, girt round the waist, without bat or shoes, or in deed any other article of apparel besides his sackcloth shirt, except a pair of light trowsers. This poor fellow left Dover two or three days ago, after reaching it on foot, with a passport from the French Consul in Lon don, fur the purpose, as he says, of getting the Monks of the Monastery of La Trappe to dispossess him of a demon, with which he says he is troubled. On arriving et Calais he was suffered to pass, but in a few hours afterwants the ~' e ndarmes were in pursuit of him, and overtook him at about nine miles from Boulogne. They conveyed him to prison in Boulogne, where he remained until the Britannia was ready to sail for England, and then he was taken on board forcibly, to be returned to Dover. When lie WSW arrested by the police, he was quite naked, with the ex ception of his shirt, but a person who is confined in prison at Boulogne humanely gave him a pair of trowsers. The man appears to besane enough in all points, except that of the possession of the demon, and reasons well upon what he tails the injustice of sending him away from France when provided with a passport, requiring the authorities to afford him aid and protection in case.of aced, merely because he is clothed in sackcloth, and goez barefooted. On his Ar rival at Dover lie was provided st:th 25 francs' in silver, which were given to him by the police, or by some of the religious devotees in Boulogne, with wkom lie appeared to be a great favourite. Indeed, the good old ladies of Boulogne were quite indignant with the police for sending away this holy Apartments bare been ordered at the York Hotel, for several days put, for the Marchioness of Downshice, who remains at Calais, waiting for a fair wind and a sn2oOth sea. Her carriage and luggage were on board yesteidoy e a 3 ,:v for departure, butt Mr. Dessin, the proprietor of the hotel wri i se s!!e is staying, having discovered that the wind was unfair, tioy were taken nut again. She is a tolerable customer at Desst:l'll, and this Way account for the great attention of the host to the state of ;he wind and fide bes tween Calais and Dover. It ought to he known by our fair cow! trjavomen who think of making a trip to Paris for the puirs.V of laying in a good stock of French silk gowns, ant! other '4PPareig l that the officers of the customs now demand up.. French articles, whether made up or not ; even if"they, su, al been worn a little, they are not exempte from duty. Thia ' rigour has proved a sad disappointment to many ladies who have arrived lately with their trunks filled with French articles. Since the reduction of duties the quantity .of goods imported at this port from France has not been con ! . siderable, with the exception of French porcelain. This forms a leading article of entry in the books, as well for the regular trade as for private passengers. A great deal of this porcelain is purchased at Boulogne, where fictitious bills are made out by the shopkeepers of only two-thirds of the real amount. Upon the declaration made upon these bills 30 per cent. is taken, so that, in fact, the Go vernment does not receive more than 20 per cent. upon the real value. CHELMSFORD, Summit 12. Mrs. Omits, accompanied by the Duke of St. Albany . Sir John Dashwood King, and his Lady, arrived at the Black Boy Inn, in this town, on Friday evening, where the party remained until Sunday, on the morning of which day they attended divine service in our church, and at in Dr. Badeley's family pew, which the Doctor's amiable lady, with her accustomed politeness, quitted for the ar commodation of Mrs. Coutta and her fttends. We regret that this lady, so remarkable for benevolent acts, had not deferred her visit for a week, as on Sunday next the annual sermons will be preached for the benefit of the old charity school, in this town, the funds of which, we lament to state, are so low as to deny the posrAbility, without some immediate and unexpected contribution for that purpose, of giving to the children of either sex, the suit of clothes wnich they have never before been, denied. We however still hope in our next, to be able to record that those Who had the power also possessed thetwill to avert so cruel a disappointment to the children. The expense et the cloth ing amounts to about . firty pounds. COVE OF CORK REGATTA. climate of that grave ^c , ficient in those accommodations, which are the comfort of fashionable visitants. triton oils COMESPONDEXT.I COVE, SEPT. 8. The unequalled facilities which this beautiful and capa cious harbour offers for every kind of marine amusement has naturally suggested the ides of establishing that most delightful and fashionable species—the Regatta ; and seve ral noblemen and gentlemen connected with the Isle of %Vight Yacht Club have intin rated their wishes that it should take place at such a period of the year as would afford an opportunity for the lovers of nautical sport to cross the Channel without interfering with their summer engagements on the south-west coast of England. The idea, although started at an advanced period of the season, has Leen warmly met by several gentlemen of distinction on this side of the Channel ; and 1 n order that a commence ment might be made, which should lead to a better organ ised and more extensive display' of nautical skill on future occasions, yesterday was fixed upon fur a grand sailing and rowing match, which took plae e under the immediate pa tronage of the Marquis of Thotz , ond and the Cork Harbour Club. The boats entered for the sailing match were of that description called Hookers, cat rying their three proper sails ; and the rowing matc h was between four-oared whale boats. A prize of ten sovereigns was given to the first, six sovereigns to the second, and fot.r sovereigns to the third, of the sailing boats; and prizes of five, four, three, and two sovereigns, were given to the first, second, third, and fourth of the row-boats. At the hour appointed for the commencement of the race, the harbour and little town of Cove presented a coup arced which was peculiarly ani mated and interesting. The riven steamers had previously arrived from Cork, crammed with the city folk, who took their stations in the windows of the houses, or on the sum mit of some of the surrounding eminences, from all of which every manceuvre of the boats could be distinctly perceived. His Majesty's ship Semiramis, his Majesty sloops Trinculo and Nimrod, and several other vessels, lay in the offing, with streamers flying and bands playing, whilst this immense bay literally swarmed with yachts, pleasure boats, and small craft of every size and de scription. The sailing boats (thirteen in number) started in ex cellent style, taking a course round a part of the harbour which had been previously marked out by buoys and boats moored at conspicuous points, and occupied a space of per haps from twelve to fifteen miles, during which the dex terity of the boatmen was tried by having to contend with every variety of wind and tide. Eight row-boats started, but the rowers did not evince any thing like the expertness which the public arc accustomed to witness in the rowing matches on the Thames. It was as much a trial of strength as of skill, but was well contested, as, after a row of five miles, upon their arrival at the winning post, none of the boats appeared to be two boats' length behind that which immediately preceded it. The day passed off without the slightest accident, and the immense concourse of spectators appeared to be highly gratified with the sport which it afforded. The weather was uncommonly propitious, a gentle breeze fanning the air, and tempering the beat of a bright and warm sun. In the evening there was a hall, for the benefit of the poor of Cove, who, like the poor of all the other towns in this coun try, are suffering want in all its tad variety. It was at tended by a large proportion of the rank and beauty at present resident in the South of Ireland, amongst others were, the Marquis and Marchioness of Thomond, Lord and Lady Ennismore, Lord Riversclale, the Ladies O'Brien, Sir John and Lady Doyle, the Hon. Mrs. Aldworth, the llon. Miss Hare, the Hon. Mr. Hare, Captain O'Grady, Mr. Williams, Miss White, Miss Doyle, &c. &c. &c.

FUNERAL OF LOUD GIFFORD. The mortal 'remains of t h is distinguished Nobleman were yesterday morning deposited in a vault in the Rolls Chapel, in Chancery-lone. The outer gates leading from Chancery-lane into the Rolle Court were closed at an early hour. and a party of police, under the command of the veteran 'Townsend, were placed there to prevent the intrusion of the eroWds who I were collected on the outside, and who, but for the police, I would have rushed in when the gates were thrown hack for the admis,l9ii of the ca'...riogts of the Mourners.

These particulars we owe to a gentlemen rho lived on the most intimate footing with Lord Gifford, t frow hip outset in life to his death. Since writing the above, the following letter hom a gen tleman personally acquainted with the late Master of the Rolls has been communicated to us. We believe that partof the statement that makes his Lordship to have been one year with Mr. Sykes, after having been two years with Mr. Beyly, is erroneous • " The following particulars respecting the late Lord Gifford may not be unacceptable to the public:—This learned and much-lamented Nobleman was not, as buboes erroneously stated - in some: of the public prints, upon his first coining to town, one year with Mr. Godfrey Sykes; but was, two years with Mr. Robert Billy, at present one of the barristers, beletuidng to the Wisteru Circuit. said after wards one y yeir witt W. Sykes, who is also a Birristo, and now tills an honourable and important station . itibr • Stamp Office. His Lordship's early talents for business, and the aesl. tluity with which he devoted himself to the RaltliSitiee of that knowledge of his profession, which was to qualify him for the successful practice of It, were not unnoticed by those who witnessed his early progress, and who thought him likely to arrive at future eminence; but no one could foresee the rapid advances he made, nnaidtd, sale war, by family or Parliamentary eitinnexions, and assisted only by his own abilities and legal acquirements. " The late Lord Ellenbotough, formerly Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, and Lord Chief 'Justice Gibbs, who about the same time presided in the Court of Commas` Pleas, both remarked and patronised his rising talents, thoughl he was quite unknown to the former, except b ta j ,ot solidity and ingenuity of hie legal arguments in the in which that Learned Judge presided. Lord Gifford was, almost from the commencement of his practice at the bar, particularly distinguished by his replies, which always re quire more than ordinary ability, cause they cannot be previously studied, and brought ready cut and dry Into Court, it. being impossible for any advocate to anticipate the remarks which will be made by his opponent, who ts to answer his opening speech, and bring forward all that can be said on the opposite aide of the question. " In the presecution instituted against the late Queen Caroline, before the House of Lords, though his opening speech was, as the occasion require d, plain, simple and unadorned, and, therefore, did not give complete satisfac tion to some who heard it, and did not know what was to follow; the reply, Which was *the most difficult and im portant part of the proceeding, far surpatised the expecta tions of all who heard him, being replete with sound and convincing argument, distinguished eloquence, and felici tous expression, mainly contributing, though the question was carried but by a small majority, to its being carried at all. " It has been often said of men who have been early raised to elevated stations, ' honorer mutant mores;' but this was never applicable to the late Master of the Rolls, whose native modesty and unasseming manners, from the time his career of honour commenced to the period of its close, were universally noticed and admired. To all his old friends and associates his behaviour continued equally kind and friendly; and when raised to the dignity of the Peerage, instead of placing in the back-ground, under the cover of a new and 'high-sounding title, the name with which he set out-in life, he retained it as his name of dig nity, and connected it with that of a very smell parish in the county of Devon, where his family happened to have some property."—Morning Paper. The following will be the new law appointments, conse quent upon the death of Lord Gifford :—Sir John Copley, the present Attorney-General, will be Master of the Rolls; the Solicitor-General succeeds Sir John Copley in the office of Attorney-General; and Mr. Tindal will be appointed Solicitor-General. The late rains are said to have checked the fever in many parts of the Netherlands, but at Groningen there are still not less than 700 patients in the hospital, of whom, howiver, only one has died. The sickness has not been so general in other places, but the mortality has been greater; and it is rare to pass through the streets without meeting priests in their way to, or returning from, the ad' ministration of the last spiritual attentions to expiring patients. At Stettin, the Magistrates have put off the annual fair on account of the prevailing mortality.

THE CHAIN OF' GA I.4EY-SLAFOS. iTIIOIII pen PARIS COMM./V*IIDM( IA The punishment of crimes is managed here in a much more impressive manner than "in England ; the severity of the English criminal code seems to aim at the etdtpation rather than the reform of the tansound members of society; if public punishments cein ever deter front the com mission of crime, they must certainly owe their moral in= fiuence to some oilier circumstance then flair frequency. In this country, the treatment of the condenmed is always calculated to make a deep impression on the attentive For non of the community. For several days the departure of the train (or chain, as it is called) of galleralaves, was talked of it the Biestre; on Mouthy last the intelligence was offcial. those who were to compose it were sum- Inoned, and were all assembled in a court situated in the building; there liy dm dresses of coarse grey cloth, which they are obliged to put on, preparatory to the journey ; each of the criminals dressed himself as he was calks! forth. According to the rules of the establishment, the hair of the criminals ought to be cut close, so as to render it more easy to rm-Ose than in ease of their escape ; bat' they had all taken care t anticipate this part of 'be preps- Miss, avoiding thereby the humiliation of submitting their beads to the hands of a stranger. Shortly after the crimina's left their tanks, and advanced towards the middle of the coon, where there is placed an anvil and elm to it a large wooden cheer, in which is kept those irons, Which from the. immemorial have served successively to ill who have been eoadernoed to forced labour. Arriving two by two at the foot of the anvil, they are married, as they express it ; lif,tbey are placed . oretheir knees, and that position dint aro fitted with brevets (for so they call,ly Way of de rbies. *iron triangles with which they erentsached by* the neap Until the moment when this triangle is fastened, the wretches laugh and jest, and endeavour tb maintain a sort of forced merriment; bit dead silence rid a sort of terror immediately take plaCO when set under the blows of the hammer which rivets their fetters. The slightest mafiosi might prove fatal to them ; they are thus admired in couples to a chain of (rein twenty to thirty men, sod con eequently can ho longer move except in a body. This otre.. ration lasted two Pours on Mondsvovhen 76 were equipped for the march. 'bey were divided into three bands: the Ent and second consisted of the most tprhulent ; thine who were more peaceable or feeble composed the third; the bands then placed themselves .on the benches which sur round the court, and the offeers withdivw. As soon as those wretches were released frail all restraint, 1 witnened what may truly be called a dismal spectiele; one would suppose that in the midst of so dreadful a captivity, and menaced by such a future, the human being would inevi tsbly sink tinder the weight of grief; but, albs! those wretches, whose lives were for the future to be devoted to servitude and infamy, sppeared as if they had met together to celebrate a festival Three amongst them, and only three, seemed aware of the extent of their misery ; these were the only individuals.among them, as I learned, who had re ceived any instruction; the rest maintained a noisy, ntitth, amusing themselves with coarse jests and pleasantries on their dress and situation. On a sudden, the first band, at the suggestion of a criminal named Boucher, who is coo -1 d , inn ed to labour for life, prepared for a march: All roses*, • k.mal given by the chief, and dragged thei chain with &IA 'tyweight which each supported was 12 lb., with w e , i ',s , tion of Boucher and Girard his companion, who asei& saded with twenty-four pounds at the least; this ,p reeee do orik : taken with them on account of their Inv iic4eret , effected their escape from prima.

The criminals seet:l - at length to grow tired of their forced gaiety; they tit. down on the benches, and many of them fell asleep. About five o'clock a priest arrived, accompanied by two young men. They brought some assistance to those who had been abandoned by their families. The venerable eccle siastic, who was listened to by all with attention, conversed a long time with Dutree : this was a young man of two and-twenty ; his mother was in a state of utter destitution, and he bad robbed, as I learned, to procure her some food. The unfortunate young man was in tears; his frequent sobs scarcely allowed hint to articulate - the following words—" I was in the Infirmary; would that I bad never Wt it! Tome it is nothing; but my poor mother, alas ! 'she will inevitably die in consequence: The priest re marked to me, " This young man has undoubtedly been guilty, but is it not melancholy to consider that he must soon 'become as corrupt as the wretches in the ionise of whom he is placed ?' I supposed that Boucher and Girard would reply with sarcasms only to the exhortations of the clergyman, but I was surprised to find that they assumed a respectful demeanour on his approach. The former, after listening with great attention to some words of con solation, muttered even some broken sentences expressive of contrition and penitence. After this we all with drew. The following day, st half-past five in the morning, I found the criminals nearly as I bad left them, only they appeared somewhat less gay, when suddenly they learned a piece of intelligence which seemed to give them great joy.. This was, that several of the condemned were about to be brought from the Infirmary to join the chain. The two first of these soon made their appearance ; the one was a man without education, and the other was Jacques Mig non, who, originally a solicitor at. Corbeil, was named a Judge of the Peace in 181 6, and was condemned for for• gery in 1821. His visage was furrowed by deep wrinkles, traced by sorrow. It may be remembered that, after his condemnation, 1:e addressed a memoir to his son, in which were the following passages:—" I have, been deceived, I have made a false step, but I have wronged nobody. I confess the forgery (here followed an explanation of his embarrassed circumstancev); and how many evils has that act, perhaps excusable, brought down upon my head ! Brought to justice for a forgery committed without any intention to do an injury, I have been condemned to be branded—a punishment worse than death. How cruel was the night which followed that condemnation 1 'the love of life, friendship, nature, religion, all had dis appeared, and death was my only resource." Mignon and ins comrade were then ironed in the midst of unanimous applauses. " This is not all," cried Boucher, " where is the Advocate?" "He thought, with his spectacles ' " says another, "to pass for a sick man." All cried out for the Advocate. At the same moment I saw the person who was the cause of so much vociferation. His name was Rey ;he was about thirty.five years of age. He practised his profession at Coulommiers, and was, like Mignon, con demned for forgery. He moved forward with difficulty, supported by the turnkeys; death was in all his features; he could hardly raise his eves. "Come forward, and don't be ashamed; the cravat will look well on the neck of an Advocate," cried the criminals who surrounded him, and who had no comprehension of the sentiments which filled the soul of the unfortunate Rey. inen some words of consolation were offered to him, he only expressed his hope that God would dispose of him before his arrival at Brest. It was now seven o'clock ; the prisoners were ranged in three columns, and their irons were examined; then, by the help of a large ladder, they mounted on long carts, in which they were placed back to back, their legs hanging down outside; in this way they have to make a journey of a hundred and twenty leagues, passim; the nights oa straw in barns or public establishments. From the hour of five in the morning, an immense crowd was assembled at the barrier Fontainbleau, and along the road side, to watch the procession, for the departure of The Chain is among the solemnities of that quarter; nor was it a vain curbsity for all the crowd—l saw some mothers there, who seised the opportunity to preach morality to their sons.

" SIR—As the measure proposed' relative to the regtilidos of wages, by legislative enactment, is considered by the Right Honourable W. Huskiamon as inexpedient, I have particularly to request that the distressed operatives do not come to any premature conclusions tending to dep ress their spirits , but ind u l ge i n t h ose proper and friendly dispositions for which they are se deservedly applauded, and continue to avail themselves of the co-operation of the respectable manufacturers, in devising and carrying into Mee some salutary measure, alike beneficial to all. It now remains with the manufacturers atid weavers to judge of the propriety of perservering, in seeking the adoption of the plan proposed, br an application to Parliament. I am fully persueded that the leading and respectable houses not only deprecate the cruel conduct of those who have unfeelingly reduced the weavers' wages, and compelled others to follow theni, who are atone to such conduct, as a matter of dire necessity, but that they are ready and willing to do all they can to extricate the poor weavers out of the hands of such callous and unprincipled masters. I hare to observe, that the elfin must not be confined to Bolton alone, but extend through the manatee. turing districts generally and in every place, lam satisfied, the weavers will meet with kind attention on the part of the leading houses, and every possible assistance will be afforded them. As. litlfio; the suffering poor of my sincere feelings of commiseration for them, and my best services in doing all I can, I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, "THOMAS BaorneiLT.'s The following is an extract of a private letter teteivea yesterday morning : •-•,‘ CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. la.—We are still very nusettled. and are likely to remain so until the Greek Revolution is ended. one way or other.

The Skylark, Davies, a ft er discharging her car go of guns and ammunition at Napoli dl Romania, was plundered on her way to Smyrna of every thing she bad on board. The crew remained two days without meat. She accidentally met an Maui. can corvette, who gave her proviaions to awry her to &twat*. This is a sample of Grecian gratitude. People will say they were pirates who did this. They may be answered, they are all pirate there is no Government in Greece.
