L AW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. MOSLEY V. JACKSON.

I n t h e event t h at h a d h appene d, jizabeth Tomtit] became entitled to the residue 91 her father's estate, and also to two legacies, one 1119001• and th e ot h er o f 5,0001., un d er different ror's, of whi c h a M r. W . M assey was t h e executor; these sums he had never accounted. Miss Ton man married a Mr. Mosley. Sir Oswell Mos h• h•was the eld es t son of th a t ma r r iage, and ~e h b "ame entitled under his mother's will to P r operty arising from those three sources. In b ils. l hiiit was instituted by the younger children Sime marriage, claiming certain property, to which Si me Owen was made - a party. Under that suit accounts were taken, and the money, including S i r ‘/swell's was paid into Court. .A settlement was rt mad e in 1791, t o w hi c h Si r O swe ll was a p ar ty. was alleged, that as far as his interest was con cerned he was bound by the suit of 1794; but this Was unfounded, as he had only appeared as the heir (l„,l4"; and took no p a rt in th e sui t.

All the crack horses in the North will be in the Cup, including Laurel, who will be rode by Harry Edwards, instead of Nicholson, the latter having finished his engagement with Major Yarburgh since Beverley races, where Laurel was beat for the Cup by Robin Hood, in consequence, as some people have it, of Nicholson, in making too sure of the race, having allowed Robin Hood to slip him just at the winning post. The Wandering Boy, winner of the Thirty Guinea Stakes (value 400/.) this day, although entered in Mr. Gibbeson's name, is the property of a servant, either valet or under butler of Lord Carlisle. The horse is now worth about 1,500/. After the Gold Cup Race at Brighton last week, Lord Mountcharles sold Maresfield to Lord Worcester for 500 sovereigns; he was immediately after .matched for 300 a-side against Mr. Payne's Privateer, who receives a stone for the year, to run two miles at the ensuing Lewes Races. Maresfield has won the Brighton Stakes and Cup two yea] s running. DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE. The annual First of August contest for a Coat and Badge, given by the late Mr. Thomas Doggett, the come dian, took place on Saturday, from Swan to Swan, by the following young watermen, just out of their apprenticeship, viz.: —Martin, Shadwell Dock; Hamber, Waterloo_ bridge ; Moore, Bankside ; Stubbs, Old Barge-house ; Malby, Irongate ; and Howel, Westminster. On the sig nal being given they went away in good style, and the match, up to Blackfriars, was well contested. Stubbs shortly, however, went a-head, and continued to lead throughout, winning the coat and badge by several boats' length. Howell was second, Malby third, Moore fourth, Hamber fifth, and Martin (who did not row the distance) last. The second man received 41. is.. and the third 21. 12s. 6d. The latter prizes are the gift of the late Sir William Jolliffe. MATCH FOR A PURSE OF SOVEREIGNS, On Saturday a rowing match took place between six pair of oars, from Westminster-bridge to Putney, for a purse of sovereigns, given - by Lord Chetwynd, Captain Hobhouse, and one or two other celebrated amateurs, of Whitehall. At three o'clock the start took place, under a salute from Rawlinson and Lyons ; and after an excel lent contest, the men arrived at Putney as follows: Edward Brumwell, Bankside, and G. Butcher, Hunger ford, first; Fred. Hill, Whitehall, and Geo. Brumwell, Vauxhall, second; Chas. Brumwell, Bankside, and R. Wood, Whitehall, third ; J. Castle, Whitehall, and J. Jar rard, Whitehall, fourth; Charles Westwood, Whitehall, and G. Mackey, Whitehall, fifth; and David Eld, Old Swan, and Richard Westwood, Whitehall, sixth. The first pair received 141. ; the second 4/. ; tnd the third 21. KING'S THEATRE.--•CIMA ROSA'S grand heroic opera, Gli Orazj e Curiazj, which had been re vived with so much success on Thursday, was repeated on Saturday night, and closed the performances of the season at this theatre. CHASE EXTRAORDINARY.—LaSt Monday three men who were straying by the side of a pool, near Gorsworth, saw a pike pursuing a water hen. The fi.h, which appeared to be about sixteen pounds weight, leaped about a yard out of the water to seize its prey, but missed it.—Macclesfield Courier. PROGRESS OF TOLERATION !-A correspon dent informs us that a man of upwards of sixty years, who is inflicted with paralysis, and who has been above twenty years an inmate of the Protestant Alms House in Little Ship-street, has been lately turned on the street, because some spy gave information of, his having been once seen coming out of a Catholic Chapel.—Dub/in Morning Register. ELECTION FOR CLARE. MR. O'CONNELL AGAIN iIETITRNED The election for the comity of Chre,‘vhich has in all its previous stages occu . pi, d so much public at tention, was brought to its terminatio:t on Thursday last, by the return of Mr. O'Connell, as Mcm!!er for the county, witliont opposition. On Thursday morning, at eleven o'clock, the High Sheriff entered the Court-house, which is, like most of these buildings in country towns, rudely constructed, and far from being commodious. About the same time Mr. O'Connell entered, accompanied by his brother and two sons, several members of the late Catholic Association, and a crowd of friends, followed by a host of the public, who took the Court-house by storm, upsetting every barrier, overthrowing each other from the seats, climbing the posts of the gall, ries, clinging . to their surbase and railing, and grasping every plojection or bracket by which a strong wrist could maintain itself. Nothing could be more appalling than the spectacle of this first rush,—those who had by courtesy been permitted to take early seats were ejected out of them ; the table presented a tumulus of people hoisted upon each other's shoulders, entirely dis placing the crier, and obstructing the view of the bench for the Sub-Sheriff's box. Some kind of order being at length obtained, the crier was elevated from the mass of people upon the table, and the Court was opened in the usual form. The proclamation, the Sheriff's precept, and the wilt from the Crown-office, were successively read, and, for the moment, an almost breathless silence prevailed : all eyes were directed towards the bench where the High Sheriff and Mr. O'Connell stood, anxious to catch a glimpse of the mysterious rival of the popular candidate. At this early period of the day some attention was momentarily drawn► from the preliminary business of the bench, by the appearance of a fashionably dressed man, who contrived to scramble over the people's shoulders through the area of the Court, then to climb up the front of the side gallery, hold ing on by the railings, until he could get his feet upon the heads of the gentlemen who stood in the avenue to the bench, where he alighted—it was Mr. O'Gorman Mahon, decorated in a green sash, with some kind of medal appended to it. The inconve nient time of his attendance might have been acci dental ; but if the delay were occasioned by the ar-. rangement of " the decoration," honest people's heads and shoulders were very wantonly trampled upon, for the display of as silly an exhibition of toyL shop childishness, as ever weakness and vanity ob truded upon the simple and impressive march of a cause whose principle was in the highest degree bold, manly, and straight-forward. Mr. Steele bad also one of these ribands, but without a medal. He, however, appears to wear it as a part of his ordinary dress on all public occasions. At half-past eleven o'clock the regular business of the day was begun in right earnest, by the call of the High Sheriff upon the electors for the county of Clare to proceed forthwith and put in nomination a fit and discreet person to represent them in Parlia ment. At this moment the air resounded with cries of " O'Connell," which were repeated with out the walls of the Court by the throng who could not obtain admission. Mr. O'GORMAN MAIION then stepped forward and said, " Mr. High Sheriff,—Before we proceed to nominate a Knight of the Shire to represent this county in Parliament, I beg permission to inquire whether we have more than one candidate before us on the present occasion. I having had formerly the pleasing duty of nominating my Friend Daniel O'Connell for that office, now come again to claim the confirmation of that nomination, though at the hands of a constituency diff erent ly formed from that which before did the good work, and has been since, I lament to say, disfranchised by the Legislature. Before I ask you to confirm the decision of the lately deceased and ever-to-be-lamented forty-shil ling freeholders, I am desirous of knowing if it is in tended to offer any other candidate to your notice in opposition to O'Connell, that I may shape my course accordingly, and be guided, according to the answer I shall receive on this point, in the mode of proposing my Friend. I wait for a reply."—(Here the cry was repeated, " No other candidate, none but O'Connell.") After a short pause was obtained from the ex claiming multitude, it was inferred from the silence of all present, that no rival candidate was intended, and the shouts for Mr. O'Connell became again deafening. Mr. O'GORMAN MAHON then resumed his ad dress, and said, that as the freeholders of Clare had heard the question put, and received no reply, he and they were entitled to infer that there existed no intention of opposing the return of Daniel O'Con nell—(loudcheering)—an event upon which he most heartily congratulated the independent freeholders of the county of Clare. He then praised the military for their excellent conduct in contact with the people of the country. He recollected the pleasure which he felt when, at the Rotunda meeting last January, Col. Westenra mentioned the meritorious appellation which his regiment had acquired during a long ser vice in India, where they were denominated " the Regiment of Gentlemen," because they had never offensively interfered with the religious rites of the inhabitants. This was exactly in unison with the general body of military now in Ireland—ex uno disce onines—they all deserved the epithet of " regi ments of gentlemen."—(Cheers.)—Reverting to the exclusion of Daniel O'Connell, he again de plored the price at which emancipation had been meted out to them; but it must be recollected that the people were not the venders of it. All he should entreat of them was to confirm by their una nimous acclamation the choice of the honest forties, and return Daniel O'Connell, not only as the re presentative of this particular county, but of Ireland at large. (Loud cheers.) And if it was their fancy at a future election to unite with such a man, another friend of liberty, in the representation of their county then they might, if they pleased, consider his (Mr. Mahon's) claims. (Laughter and applause.) He then put Mr. O'Connell in nomination to represent the county in Parliament, amid the loudest cheers. Mr. STEELE carne forward to second this nomi nation, and was hailed with loud applause. Mr. Steele then coucluded by seconding Mr. O'Connell's nomination. Major MACNAMARA next came forward, and was received with warm greetings. He said he should only trespass upon their attention for a few moments for he considered this election rather as a ramifica tion of the last, than as an original proceeding—it was an emanation of the same body, under a new name,—it was the work of the old forties, put out of hands in the same fashion, by the new ten pounders, who now represented them.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'BRIEN, of Elm-vale, then presented him self to the Court, and was cordially received. He rejoiced, he said, at the evident result of the pre sent election, and trusted it would be found the last expression of difference of sentiment in the county. Mr. RICHARD MACNAMARA pronounced a warm eulogium upon Mr. O'Connell, as the deservedly popular representative of Irish feelings. No other person appearing to address the Court, the HICK SHERlEFcaused the usual proclamation, descrip tive of the business of the day to be thrice read, after a short interval between each reading; during this cere mony there was a breathless expectation renewed at each pause, and nobody appearing to interpose an objection to Mr. O'Connell's nomination, after the third proclamation the enthusiastic uproar of the people lost all bounds, and it was only after the stentorian lungs of Mr. Nicholas Purcell O'Gor man had been exercised at their highest intonation, that the multitude just gave silence enough to enable the High Sheriff to declare that Daniel O'Connell, Esq., was duly elected a Knight of the Shire to re present the county of Clare in the Imperial Parlia ment. This announcement was made soon after twelve o'clock, and the shouts were renewed with deafen ing vehemence, when Mr. O'CONNELL came to the front of the hustings, to return thanks, which lie did in a speech which lasted for more than two hours. They had not now to complain of political disOnctiom enacted for mere religious opinions; still, however, though the spirit of these cruel en:lrt merits had been expunged from the statute 1.):)ok, not a sipgle Catholic had, as far as he could learn, derived the slitaitest direct benefit from the encou ragement of the Government. Those in atitho- City had refused him the exercise of the right to which he had shown he was legally entitled; and though he knew the little motives of his oppo nents—some of them men of rank, and lawyers— he would not now stoop to expose them. It was a mockery for persons in high judicial stations, whose minds were made up by sinister motives, to sit in judgment upon the rights of any man. Of one profession, his own, he could say that once he thought it an honour to belong to it now he knew none more degraded by the machinations of power. In advocating his own cause with the House of Commons, he had at once put forth his legal ma sons in the shape of a pamphlet for any and every man to read. No man had ever applied to it with an authenticated name ! in the form of speech in the House of Commons, he knew, indeed, it had been attempted to controvert it. . This was done by the late Solicitor-General of England, now the Chief Justice, whose love of place overcame his sense of law; and the man, looking at the Judge, saw reasons to equivocate where he ought to have been just. There was nothing which he more deprecated than to see men in high stations thus palter with their understandings. These lawyers, one in particular, when they went against him, made the most egregious blunders. The now Solicitor- General ( Su gden) u as foremost in his legal blunder ing; and thirdly, Sir James Scarlett, the present Attorney-General, whose conduct in this instance he viewed with abhorrence, and whose opinions he treated with contempt. Sir James Scarlett differed in opinion with him upon the nature of his claims; but he deprecated, as a lawyer, any attempt to en force the penalties which Mr. Sugden thought so applicable. Of Sir James's speech upon that occa sion, Mr. Huskisson truly said, it had convinced him he ought to vote for him (Mr. O'Connell) ; and Mr. Jephson, of Mallow, had told him likewise, that he sat near two English members who had come pre cisely to the same conclusion, although, strange to say, Sir James Scarlett was not equally convinced by his •own speech, which had such an effect upon otheri,; for, after making it, lie declared his readi ness to vote exactly the other way.—(A laugh.)— When speaking thus of these English lawyers, it was with pride he announced, that Henry Brougham, the greatest of them all, had throughout stood by him like a man and a statesman. Of the unbounded information, enlightened genius, and wide philan thropy of that great man, he had not words to utter his unqualified approbation. Praise and thanks were likewise from him due to many of the class of Whigs,—to such men as Lords Duncannon and Eb rington, Mr. Spring Rice, to the Knight of Kerry,— to whom, indeed, it would be now too formal for him to proclaim himself a debtor, after having re ceived from him, during a long course of years, so many proofs of his friendship. He knew no man who had sacrificed more to his unbending attach ment to the Whigs than Mr. Maurice Fitzgerald had. In this view, also, he could not forget the il lustrious name of Grey, and others of tha: noble family. Still, with all this high support, the decision was against him—a decision which he did not hesi tate to .proclaim as being against law—one which he should always, in and out of Parliament, firmly re sist, and against which, now that they had given him the full authority to speak face to face to his opponents, lie should raise his voice where it would be heard, to the shame and confusion of those who had pronounced it. Much had been said in praise of the late Catholic Bill : still, however, it had great faults; the promoters of it began by pulling down (as they called it) the Catholic Association. Alex ander the Great's exploit in " slaying the slain" was not greater than that triumph of Ministers; for at the very time of its cehtbration, the Ca tholic Association had by an actof its own put down itself; so that Peel and Wellington had the glory of killing that which had already been suicidal to it self.—(A laugh.)—On the Association necessarily the attack was ridiculous, but what he complained of most was, that it planted despotic power in the hands of the Lord Lieutenant. He assured the people that he should not be one fortnight in the House of Commons before he should have this part of the late legislation revised. In the next place, he would denounce the disfranchisement of the forty shilling freeholders. It was a base violation of jus tice, and a scandalously partial act of the House of Commons,--of that House of Commons which had left the corrupt boroughs of - EaSt Retford and Penryn untouched, notwithstanding the flagrant corruption of which their own Committees had proved them to have been guilty; and yet, after thus acting, they attacked the rights of the forty shilling freeholders of Ireland, who had been guilty —of what ?—of nothing but of setting the high example that poor men could be honest in the exer cise of the elective franchise.—(Cheers.)—So that little knots of corrupt English borough-electors, proved to be notoriously corrupt, were spared, and 250,000 men, who had shown themselves to be in corruptible, were at one fell swoop divested of their lawful rights. There was another point which he meant to urge in Parliament, that disfranchisement was a breach of the articles of Union, the basis of which was equality of privilege between the Irish and English electors. This attack upon the Irish forty-shilling freeholders struck at the root of that arrangement. The Act of Union once re-opened, was so far favourable to Ireland. He would see in Parliament how far the breach could be widened so as to have that impolitic measure repealed. But as to the good faith with which the late Emancipation Bill was carried into effect, let them look at the conduct of Government and the corporations. Take Dublin as an example : it was 36 years since a Roman Catholic wits eligible to be a member of it, and yet not one had been elected, although it was notorious that the great rank, wealth, and commercial respectability of Dublin, were in the hands of Catholics. Why, then, should Ministers feel surprised at the people being still dissatisfied, when they must know that their minions had refused to pour any oil over the troubled waters of their system ? There were, he knew, at this moment, some symptoms on the part of the Government indicative of their desire to put down the Orangemen; but there again he had to complain that they came too late. A week before the late outrages, he had had an interview with Lord Leveson Gower at the Castle, he gave him natice that the Orangemen were at work, and that if the Government did not promptly interfere, more than sixty lives would be lost in the ensuing week. The Government did not interfere until after the mischief was done, and the consequence was as he had predicted, that above sixty lives were lost in the battles of the north of Ireland. With respect to his conduct in Parliament, he must, in the first place remind the people of this, that he had no ministerial patronage, he had no favours, places, or pensions, to bestow on those who looked for such returns. He should be therefore, in point of interest, an un profitable servant. They would, however, always find him to be the shepherd, who was watchful of his flock,"und unflinchinglyattentive to the trust they bad reposed in him. There was, he knew, a great deal of irritation arising out of the last election, and upon that - subject he wished strongly to impress upon the people that there were many gentlemen who were so peculiarly placed on the last election, that they could not have acted otherwise than they had done without a breach of honour. They now saw that these gentlemen did not come forward to thwart the popular feeling, and surely they ought to have credit for such conduct.—(Applause.)— " Why," continued Mr. O'Connell, " should we not dojustice to every one ? Let us look at the situa tion of these gentlemen, and see if we could have acted otherwise ourselves; of one of them I can never speak without the warmest admiration. I should be base and unworthy of the public confidence if I could ever forget. the . conduct of Mr. Vesey Fi•zgerald.—(Applause.)--The Catholics I know put him out from the representation of this county, end what revenge did he not inflict upon them in ret to tt by he made the best speech in their fa vow. (hiring t he deba - eon their question. I know not in history a more powerful or magna i►iniotis instance of exalted patriotism, than .Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald exhibited upon that occasion. —(Cheers.)—And with respect to his talents, I will add, that I-think him beyond all comparison the ablest man of the present Administration,---ore who Would hold the highest official, as he does mental place, if he were not restrained by the modest feel ings which always attend true elevation of intellect, from pressing his own value into its proper scale." When he (Mr. O'Connell) was thus ready to do justice to the gentlemen of Clare, let him also do it to the people. if the people arrayed the forty shilling freeholders against the gentry, let it be re membered that the latter first established Brunswick Clubs against them. That was • a great error, but one which he hoped the one party would forgive, mid the other forget.- , --( Hear, hear.)—Mr. O'Con nell then went at considerable length into the detail of the various local improvements which he should recommend to Parliament, as connected with their county ;—the better navigation of the Shannon; the establishment of safe and commodious harbours, independent of the -exposure and suppression of all. the local jobbing, which was for the private put , poses of the rich; and at the expense of the poor. — With respect to his own qualifications for effecting these improvements, he admitted they were mode rate. He had no pretensions to be classed an orator; forensic habits had, it was true, given him a fluency of speaking, and a habit of reasoning ; but no flight of poetry was ever borne to his mind on fancy's wings; but, what he wanted in genius he could promise to make up for them in zeal and energy. He was besides, to all intents and pur poses, a man of business; he must be an early man who rose from bed earlier than he did, and he must havo a cool head who went to bed with a cooler.—(A laugh, and cries of " Hear, hear.")—He would promise them to attend the house with the Speaker, and to leave it only when he did.; he would have his study with him in Lon don, as he bad in Dublin, and they would find him in London perpetually at his post during the sitting of Parliament. What was his object in going into Parliament and devoting himself to the people of Clare ? Why, he went in fact, and lie confessed it, to let his soul work out its salvations,—he went to Parliament to do good to the people, and obtain justice for the nation. He hoped his motives were pure, his conscience at all events sustained him. Mr. O'Connell then took a review of the condition of society in this kingdom, as to its divisions in re ligious sentiments. With the creed or doctrines of the Established Church he never should interfere : he would always go out of the House of Commons when they were debated; he would never open his lips in Parliament upon any subject connected with the religion or discipline of the Protestant Church. In this respect he would certainly do to others as he wished he should be done by. Respecting the tem poralities of the Church, however, the case was dif ferent, and one of the first measures he should pro pose in Parliament would be to equalize the salaries and emoluments of the clergy. The next point would be to revise the laws relating to the landed possessions of the Irish clergy : these lands were ha mense, and he. was prepared to show, if properly ad- Ministered, be quite sufficient to maintain the esta blishment without burdening the people with tithes. With respect to Catholics and Dissenters, he should introduce laws for the more easy administration of their respective charities, which were at present dread fully shackled by the intricate operations of law. As a lawyer he had here advantages which he should not fail to use in behalf of the institutions of these classes of Christians. He would likewise call upon Parliament to revise the late law enacted against Jesuits and monastic institutions. His blood boiled when he reflected upon the injustice done to these enlightened and liberal classes. He would first pre sent a petition from the English and Irish Jesuits, praying for an inquiry into the whole of their affairs. Let the Committee be exclusively Protestants. He would not have a single Catholic upon it. Let the opponents of the Jesuits be alone the judges of the doctrines and conduct of the Catholics, and he had no fear of the result. Mr. O'Connell was then proceeding, at consider able length, to detail the various measures the intro duction of which he contemplated in Parliament. His sketch, in fact, comprised every measure which was within the scope of legislation. He at the same time strongly urged an alteration in the present plan of the currency, and expressed a firm determina tion to resist all projects of emigration, being, he said, convinced that under an improved system of domestic economy, enough of subsistence could be provided at home for any amount of population. Our express (which we received yesterday morn ing) left Mr. O'Connell still speaking in acknow ledgment of his return. The people were enthusiastic in his cause, and perfectly sober and tranquil. Se veral of the most influential of their parish clergy were on the spot, and there was every appearance that the chairing which was to follow would pass over without the least violation of the public peace. Mr. O'Connell's family had set out from Dublin to join him; he was about to proceed to his seat in Kerry before he returned to the assizes, where he has volunteered to conduct the case of the people of Borris-o'-keen against the police, in the trial for the late melancholy loss of lives. Later in the day Mr. O'Connell entered the county of Clare at the passage of O'Brien's Bridge. The concourse of people was here prodigious. On advancing towards Killaloe the cortege con tinued to accumulate, the huts on the road-side were decorated with wreaths of wild flowers, and the people, —men, women, and children,—who flocked upon the roads, were decorated with laurel branches. There were likewise occasional arches formed by the bending of boughs from large trees at each side of the road; and every opportunity which rustic ingenuity could furnish was aptly used to swell the note of a popular triumph. It was an odd coincidence, that as the procession was entering upon the most prominent line of a range of romantic scenery, with the chain of the Clare mountains, lately christened by Mr. Steele " the O'Connell Hills," from which some of the forty-shilling free holders last year poured down to assert the free ex ercise of their now abrogated franchise, a storm burst from the horizon, the thunder was reverberated among the mountains, the lightning flashed vividly, and heaven and earth appeared to be in convulsive agitation. While the thunder " leaped from cliff to cliff," the peasantry shouted, and although drenched from torrents of rain, the crowd still mingled and advanced in procession. A curious scene, however, took place as the throng approached Killaloe. Mr. O'Connell was met by the Rev. Mr. Vaughan about half a mile from that town, who informed him that Mr. Lloyd (the Magistrate) was called into the neighbourhood, that the police and rifle corps were then under arms in the barracks, and the most determined spirit avowed to prevent the procession through Killaloe of any multitude of people. Mr. O'Connell in stantly declared that nothing should induce him to expose the honest freeholders of the county to the slightest risk of unpleasant contact with any of the authorities,—that his whole object in passing through this part of the county was to exhort them to the maintenance of peace and tranquillity, and that he would proceed at once, and alone, into the town to assure the Magistrate of such being his sole intention, and of the evident disposition of the as sembled multitude to respect this injunction. Mr. Steele, however, insisted, as being a local resident of the county, that the task should devolve upon him of making this statement to the local authorities, and he rode on promptly to Killaloe for that pur ' pose. The police had previously removed some boughs which the towns-people had placed in front of their houses, and some of the inhabitants declared their dissatisfaction at this interference. Mr. Steele had a sp ee dy i n t erv i e w with the Magistrate (Mr. Lloyd), and Captain Goldfrap, the commandant of the rifle corps, stationed in the barracks. There was a good deal of discussion in the street between these gentlemen, which was, in substance, the inquiry of Mr. Steele, if the local authorities meant to interrupt Mr. O'Connell from meeting his constituents on the road to the place of election at Ennis; and to know, if such were the intention, upon what au thority, and at whose responsibility, this interrup tion was to be made. The magistrate declared that he had no intention of preventing Mr. O'Connell from meeting his constituents in a legal way and in addressing them in a legal manner, hut that his assistance was called to preVent a disturbance of the public peace. It was at once determined by Mr. O'Connell to avoid the least pretext for magisterial interference in Killaloe, and he proceeded with the cortege to Broadford, near this place, where he again addressed the people, and in the strongest terms enjoined them to peace and tranquillity. At half-past eleven o'clock last night he reached the seat of Mr. O'Connell, of Kilgorey, where he slept, and from which he is about to set out, as 1". close this letter, to arrive at Ennis in the middle of this day. The greatest preparations »se every where made by the poor people to receirq him. The hills last night blazed with bonfires as !tetra yelled, and few of the wretched huts of the peasan- , try were without the illumination of a candle. Somebody late last evening was seen travelling in a chaise-and•four, with postilions and green uniforms, on the road to Ennis. Some here say it was Mr. O'Gorman Mahon; others Mr. Toby Glascock.• THE g' FIRE KING." Last Saturday we saw M. Chabert, the " Fire King," as he styles himself, exhibit his various and wonderful experiments at the Argyll Rooms. On entering the apartment where he performs, we found him busily employed in warming the which he was to be shut uf; oven in during the time necessary for some dishes of be e fsteaks being cooked in it. The oven built of bricks, has a large iron door, anti is high enough for a full-grown man to stand upright in it, and is about two or three yards wide. It is raised from the floor by pillars, and is heated by means of lighted faggots being thrown into it. As soon as these faggots were consumed, M. Cha bert raked out the ashes as far as the door, and then invited the spectators to mount a ladder and be themselves convinced of the heat of the oven ; but it will be easily conceived, that while a large quantity of red-hot cinders was burning at the mouth, the heat felt under such circumstances was very intense. After those of the company who chose had ascended the ladder, with a view to obtain personal expe , rience of the heat of the oven, M. • Chabert removed the cinders away, casting, however, a small portion of them back again into the oven, as it were, accidentally, init, as we thought, pur posely. Then, leaving the oven to cool, he proceed edto perform the astonishing feat of swallowing poison, which it seems he possesses, by the use of antidotes, the faculty of taking without injury to himself. A gentleman among the company re quested him to take oxalic acid, which he ex cused himself from doing, on the plea that he had not prepared himself against poisons of that class. He was prepared, however, to take Any quantity whatever of phosphorus. Accordingly phosphorus was given him, the genuineness of which was made manifest by its igniting by fric tion a piece of paper, and by burning on water. He held his hands behind him while the phos phorus was poured down his throat in a glass of water. In this there appeared to be no decep tion, and the " Fire King," in order to show that the phosphorus remained nowhere concealed about his teeth or under his tongue, submitted his mouth, in which he held a flaming bit of link, to the examination of the company. This experiment, we are bound to say, appeared to be fairly performed. The next thing which M. Cha bert did was to drink some oil heated to 320 de grees. In swallowing the oil he took care that the spoon which contained it should not touch his tongue or his lips, by holding it firmly between his teeth. The spoon had been made so hot, by contact wi,j,h the oil, as to prevent any person handling it. The experimentalist then • amused the com pany by exposing the tricks resorted to by com mon conjurors to deceive their spectators, to practise which he declared himself to be above. His, he declared, was no ordinary exhibition : what he did, no one else could do ! At length the time came for going into the oven, and cooking the beefsteaks, and he left the room to put on his anti-caloric dress. In this manner about an hour had been spent, during all which time the oven was cooling by the help of great draughts of air, which rushed into the room from every window. M. Chabert soon returned, muffled up in a loose great coat, and taking the covered dishes which contained the beefsteaks, he put them into the oven, placing them on the cinders which, as has already been mentioned, had been previously left there. Thus it would appear that M. Chabert was not sub ject to the same degree of heat as the steaks. The heat of the oven indeed might be much less than it was, and still the steaks being placed where they, were, would be cooked. He then entered the oven himself, taking with him a thermometer, which in the room was at 70 degrees, and promised that in eight minutes the steaks should be ready. Aftek remaining in the oven that time he came out, perspiring profusely, and bringing with him the steaks, which were per fectly done, and the thermometer raised to 340 degrees. This. certainly would slim a degree of heat very great for a man to bear, but some per, sons were inclined .to suppose that while M. Chabert was shut in the oven he might ha re taken the liberty of placing the thermo Meter beside the beef steaks—namely, on the burning cinders. It is also to be observed, that he did not breathe the atmosphere of the oven, but a long tin tube conducted to him the fresh and cooling air of the room. But whatever doubt may exist with respect to the heat of the oven, we certainly feel it to be nothing but.justice to M. Chabert to state, that as far as we could ob serve, and we watched him pretty sharply, he did actually swallow the phosphorus which was given him. This certainly is a most extraordinary cir cumstance, and will, doubtless, lead to much in quiry in the medical world. the.breeds i .taesesaadtmi aitenn Several amateurs and breeders of choice cattle were last Friday assembled at Chilton, in order to inspect the stock, preparatory to the great sale, now so soon totz!lie place, and which is attracting the attention and exciting the expectation of the agriculturists in every part of the United Kingdom.
