In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ; With Diet Tables for all Complaints. Contents :-'How to ensure perfeet digestion, tranquil eelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions kerein contained the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understanl ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now bidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, It is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such .knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the liy e advantages OR our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the. avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

Our return of Tuesday's racing, forwarded from the ground, if not so fully in detail as we could have wished, or as its importance merited—and for which our apolngy must be, the difficulty of securing the receipt of our di IsrAtehes in time to be available for publication on the following day — will have shown that the snort was of a first-rate description, realising to the winners 9,000/., and leaving the spectators nothing to desire. The Craven Stakes failed to produce a race; only three horses were named, and the Duke of Rich mond and Lord Geo. Bentinek having divided Mr. Grevillel forfeit, Dawdle walked over, and at one o'clock business com menced in earnest with the Gratwieke Stakes; seven.others followed, and, although the gentlemen jockeys. as usual, took it easy, and of course were at lea -t a quarter of an hour behind time in each of their races, so well did the profes sionals second the exertions of their starters, that Mr. Clarke's fiat on the last event was given within three minutes of the time appointed in the list. We cannot say that the company was so large or so aristos cratic, or that there was so much life in the scene as we have witnessed at former meetings, nor was the betting by any means brisk • the excessive closeness of the atmosphere, n o doubt, caused a disinclination to encounter the heat and pressure of the "ring," and may account for the comparative flatness of speculation. The business of the meeting, as we intimated last week, was carried on in the ground-floor of the Grand Stand, hitherto used for refreshment, and a great con venience it was to those who had not time or the means to mount two pair of stairs. The new offices are cool and spacious, and so well adapted to the purpose required that we question if the contemplated new weighing-stand will be erected. Mr. Careless, and several other caterers of less emi nence, "pitched" their tents above the enclosure, and offered every temptation for the indulgence of the appetite ; we would suggest, however, that a small refreshment-room should be provided as near the enclosure as possible; evely thing at Goodwood is " against time," and those who are able to secure a sandwich in the short interval between the races, may consider themselves fortunate—for a betting :man to run up to the second floor or half way down the distance for this purposels out of the questions' We must conclude our resume of the first day by stating that although the down trains on Monday were one and all considerably behind time, the specials were arranged with as much punc tuality as a single line of railway would admit of, greatly to the accommodation of the -public, and without any con tingency of consequence. With the second day necessity obliges us to deal briefly. The races, according to the original anncuncement, should have commenced at twelve o'clock ; instead of this, the match between Growl and So Nice' which it was known would not come off, was fixed for one, and the running in consequence did not commence until half-past one. The change, we pre sume, was made for "honourable members." The card to be got through embraced eight races, most of them with large fields, and it was not therefore until near six o'clock that the company were enabled to get away from the course; they were thus an hour and a half on the ground longer than they anticipated, and the Metropolitans, instead of reaching tLe London-bridge station at nine, could not have been delivered" before eleven. • It is unnecessary—in fact time will not permit us—to give more than a mere sketch of the sport. It was highly interesting from first to last, and afforded ample scope for speculation. The weather was ex tremely favourable, but intensely hot, and the Company larger and more respectable than on the first day.

They ran in this order to the Craven Stakes Course, where the second place was taken by Jericho, Sir George and Alarm directly after him, becoming third and fourth. At the distance Wolf dog was joined by the favourites, and beaten instanter, and Jericho went on with a slight lead of the crack, the two being now singled out a long way in advance. The race was con tested with great severity to the end, Alarm never obtaining the adVantage until near the chair, and then winning only by a head. Nothing was near the two. Run in 5 min. 39 sec.

At the general election in 1826 he was again returned for his native county. It was at this advanced period of his life that he ceased to be a bachelor. In the 54th year of his age he espoused the Lady Louisa Erskine, sister of the Marquis of Anglesey; and widow of Sir James Erskine, • who died in the year 1825. Lady Louisa had then attained the mature age of forty eight. Sir George became a widower. on the 23d of January, 1842, having had issue one daughter. In 18:28 he gave up the command of the army in Ire land to take the dlice of Secretary of State for the Colonies —an office far beyond the Parliamentary reputation which, up to that tinia at least, he had acquired ; but thenceforward he rose rapidly in the estimati on o f the floosie of Commons; and it is no exaggeration to assert that very few military men ever approached to the excellence which h attained as a public speaker. He possessed the power of logical arrange ment in a remarkable degree, and though his speeches did not "smell of the lamp," they always had a beginning, middle, and conclusion ; besides that they possessed a co herence and congruity rarely found in Parliamentary speeches, a force and appropriateness of diction not often sur passed, an elegance and copiousness which a soldier could not be expected to attain, and an agreeable style of delivery which many more professed speakers might imitate with advantage. While Sir George Murray was at the Colonial - office our possessions abroad were not seriously embarrassed by any of those difficulties which usually afflict the Minister who happens to preside at the Colonial department; but the Government of that day had delicate duties to perform, and were surrounded with various and formidable difficulties. In uniting with his colleagues to meet and overcome these difficulties, Sir George Murray bore his part most efficiently. In supporting the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, and in opposing the measures of the liberal Government in 1830 and 1831, lie was singularly successful, though he did not go the length of echoing the dictum of the Duke of Wel lington, when that eminent personage said that no reform whatever was required in the House of Commons. But, it was not alone in Parliament, or in the "registration courts," that Sir George Murray fought what he conceived to be the "battle of the Constitution." He fought it as vigorously on the hustings and in the polling-booths. lie was re elected for his native county at the general election of 183 a, and again in the following year. In 1832 the Refie-m Bill became law, Parliament was dissolved, Lord . Orrnelie, now Marquis of Breadalbane, stood for Perthshire upon liberal principles and proved successful. On the accession of Lord Ormelie to the peerage in 1834. a vacancy again occurred in the representation of Perthshire, and a contest ensued, in which Mr. Graham, the Whig candidate, was defeated, and Sir G. Murray again sat for that county. In Sir R. Peel's Administration of 1834-5, he filled the office of Master- General of the Ordnance; but was thrown out of the repre sentation of Perthshire by Mr. Fox Maule, who defeated him by a majority of 82. At the general election which oc curred in 1337, on the accession of her present Majesty to the throne, Sir George Murray stood for Westminster, a City with which he certainly had very little local connexion ; but Westminster happens to be just one of those places in which local influence has not much weight, and its repre sentatives have usually been either distinguished political chiefs, or else officers of considerable reputation, connected with the military or naval service of the State. Fox, She ridan, Burdett, Hobhouse, Cochrane, Evans, Rous, Maxwell, Rodney, and Hood, have been amongst the number of its re presentatives. No one was, therefore, surprised that Sir George Murray offered himself to a constituency where military fame and high rank are usually acceptable. On that occasion he polled 2,620 votes, but Mr. Leader and Sir De Lacy Evans united their strength, and defeated him. At this period of his life he might easily have got in for a small borough, but it was thought by the political party to which he belonged that the representation of Westminster ought not to be entrusted to unskilful hands ; and during the bustle of a general erection he missed the opportu nity of getting in for any other place. In less than two years from that time, however, a vacancy occurred in the representation of Manchester. Mr. Poulett Thomson had been Member for that borough during three successive Parliaments, but in the year 1839 he was appointed Governor-General of Canada, and raised to the peerage. An election contest of course ensued, in which Sir George Murray and Mr. Gregg were the candidates, but the decision was in favour of Mr. Gregg by a majority of 265. When the Whigs resigned in 1841, Sir George Murray again received the appointment of Master-General of the Ordnance, and again became a candidate for the representation of Man chester. When the leaders of the Conservative party sent him to solicit the suffrages of that borough, they could not fail to have felt that they were requiring him to undertake a forlorn hope. He had few of what are called popular quali ties, and instead of wishing for a partisan of Sir Robert Peel, the people of Manchester desired to possess a representative who should prove a thorn in the side of the Tory leader. Although he failed to get into Parliament, he still re mained a Minister of the Crown. But at length his powerful constitution yielded to the attacks of disease; for more than a year he had not been able to quit his residence in Belgrave-square, although he attended as much possible to the duties of his office. About six months ago he felt himself so evi dently sinking that he thought it right to place the situa tion which he held at the disposal of the Prime Minister; but Sir Robert Peel's tenure of office was at that time so un stable that lie considered the appointment of a successor to Sir George wholly superfluous. The last occasion upon which Sir George Murray cama prominently before the public was in a literary capacity, namely, as editor of five volumes of "Marlborough's Dispatches,"—a work which tended much to raise our estimate of that celebrated comniander's character without materially adding to the re putation...of. Sir George Murray. It is not, however, as a literary man that the name of Sir George Murray will de scend to posterity. As a succesful soldier, an able Minister, a skilful and fluent debater, he will long be remembered. The spirit of party, which might once have sought to obscure the brightness of his fame, has long since ceased to influence men's minds, and even the errors of his life will be forgotten amidst the general lustre which surrounds his memory.— Times. THE COBDEN FREE TRADE DOCKS. The supporters of the free-trade cause are determined not only to bestow upon their champion, Richard Cobden, the personal munificent tribute now being sub scribed for throughout the country, as a public token of approbation for his laborious exertions in behalf of free trade, but also to hand down to posterity some national record of utility connected with the cause itself, that will perpetuate this great commercial advantage, and open a legitimate channel for the investment of capital. An Act of Parliament has recently passed for the for mation of docks at the mouth of the Thames, adjacent to Carwey Island, and about thirty-six miles from London, to consist of 200 acres; and it is the intention of the pro moters of the Cobden Free-trade:Docks—composed prin cipally of ship-owners, merchants, bankers, coal-owners, and other eminent capitalists of London, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, and the northern districts—to make such arrangements as will empower them under that Act of Parliament to construct docks forthwith, to be called " The Cobden Free-trade Docks," that will afford accommodation to vessels of all nations, with separate docks for the British and foreign steam-boats, and the collier ships from tale north. These docks will be accessible at all times or tide, from the great depth of water at that spot. There will be also an ' extensive steam boat pier and landing wharf, for the accommodation of passengers embarking for the con tinent and the watering places on the Kentish coast ; which, by this route, will effect a great saving in time, distance, and expense. A short branch railway will be made from the docks to join the Eastern Counties line at Romford, and unite with the Blackwall Extension line at Stratford, thereby affording a two-fold terminus in the very heart of London (the Blackwell terminus being contiguous to the corn, coal, and fish markets), so that in one hour, passengers will be on the sea journey for the continent; and the steam-boats to .idargate, Ramsgate, Herne-bay, Sheerness, and Southend, will be able to make a double voyage by day-light. Thais route will also be the nearest for the landing of the Indian mail by forty-six miles in distance, and a saving of two hours in time, via Ostend. The great increase of the shipping trade requires that additional dock room should be immediately afforded, and the further increase of vessels laden with free-trade produce will tend more and more to add to the present requirement; and at this very juncta, when every free trader is rejoicing at the victory gained, and the pro spect before him of the benefits to be derived from that event, what can be so consistent a national memento to record the victory, or so legitimate a national invest ment of capital, as the Cobden Free-trade Docks?—the commencement of which is proposed to take place next month. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, JULY 28.—The recent in telligence from the United States, communicating the fact of the passage of the Tariff Bill by the House of Representatives, and the probability that that important measure will also pass the Senate ; caused some im provement in the demand for printing cloth to-day, and produced a generally improved feeling in the goods market, but without causing any advance in prices. For yarn, the demand continues very languid, and rather lower rates have been accepted for some numbers of mule twist suitable for the Eastern markets. Prices, generally, are now so unremunerative that some of the spinners, particularly those in the neighbourhood of Blackburn, have begun to consider the propriety of working short time. ROCHDALE MONDAY, JULY 27.—We have had ayery limited demand for piece' s to-day, and a thin attendance of buyers, considering it has been the fortnightly Mon day. The wool market has been inactive, and the dealers complain of the little bnsiness transacted. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, JULY 28.—There have been a good many buyers to-day, both for home and foreign markets • and large purchases have been made in the Cloth Hall, of every description of fancy woollens. Greater activity has also been felt in the warehouses during the past week. LEEDS, TUESDAY, JULY 28.—There was a very fair attendance of buyers at our cloth halls to-day, but, from want of the articles mostly in demand, the transactions were necessarily limited. Our manufacturers, are, how ever, pretty well employed in executing orders, and, upon the whole, trade is in a sounder state than at this time last year. Fortunately, none of our merchants are interested in any of the failures which cast such a gloom over the Manchester markets last week.—Manchester Guardian. CRITICISM EXTRAORDINARY.—The following veritably appears in the Athenccum of Saturday last—it ought to be premised, though the remark is unnecessary to play-goers, that Perrot is a dancer, and certainly never exerted his " loveliest voice" on any stage, nor indulged in " high falsetto notes," or false steps :—" I Puritani, which was given for M. Perrot's benefit on Thursday evening, enabled this rapidly rising artist still further to show the progress he has recently made. He sung the last act in his loveliest voice, and with admirable expression, but he is too fond of at tempting a fac-shnile ofßubini's high falsetto notes- - in this, needlessly subjecting himself to the charge of imitation." PucE SD. IRELAND. DUNDALK ELECTION. DUBLIN, JULY 27.—Mr. D. O'Connell, jun., accompanied by Mr. Steele and other members of the Repeal Association, returned to town last night. The constituency of Dundalk is limited to 250 electors, and of these, it is stated, not less than 170 are pledged to support Mr. O'ConnelL The following letter reached here this morning:— " DUNDALK, SUNDAY.—The writ has been received. The election will take place early next week. Mr. D. O'Connell, jun., according to all appearances, will he returned without opposition. There was a crowded meeting of Repealers this day, at which Mr. D. O'Connell, jun., Captain Broderick, and Mr. Steele attended. Mr. Steele, in the course of his speech, highly eulogised Mr. Redington, the late Member, and his name, was loudly cheered. Mr. Steele described bias as having only ure fault—that he was not a Repealer; but as a high-spirited and highly-gifted gentleman--a perfect man of business, and a member of - the Devon Commission, whose report was a thunderbolt in the hands of O'Connell, without which he could not have so effectually resisted the atrocious Coercion Bill. "Having completed their arrangements for the election, Mr. D. O'Connell, jun., and his friends, returned to Dublin." COUNTY OF KILKENNY ELECTION.—The election for this county takes place on Wednesday next. Mr. Smithwick (Repealer) is still the only candidate, and there does not ap pear the slightest chance of opposition to his return. THE MASTERSHIP IN CHANCERY.—This office is not yet filled, but it is confidently asserted that Mr. Jeremiah J. Murphy, Q. C., is to be the new Master. THE POTATO DISEASE.—Again the reports from the coun try, with very few exceptions, are exceedingly disheartening. COURT-MARTIAL ON MAJOR DEANE, IsT ROYALS. A general court-martial assembled at the Royal Barracks, Dublin, on,Monday, for trial of Major Charles Deane, K.H., of the Ist, or Royal Regiment. The charges against Major Deane, eighteen in number, set forth that he exacted from the men of the depot a higher price for necessaries than is allowed by the regimental regu lations; for having charged 3 per cent. additional on the issue of necessaries supplied to the soldiers ; that he did not assemble aboard of officers in accordance with the military regulations; to flx a price on the issue of necessaries ; and also for abuse and harsh treatment of Sergeant Francis Nolan. The several charges having been delivered in and read, witnesses in support thereof were called for examination. Mr. John APCourt, the prosecutor, Lieutenant Poole (Royals). Colonel R. C. Manse], and some non-commis sioned officers of the Royals, gave evidence in reference to the charges. Therase for the prosecution closed on Wed nesday. At the request of the prisoner the Court was adjourned till Friday, to allow him time to prepare for his defence. On Friday, at the assembling of the Court, Major Deane read his defence. He said his situation had been greatly aggravated by the character of his accuser, who had been convicted and sentenced to be dismissed the service for disgraceful conduct. On that occa sion their positions were reversed, with the exception that he (the prisoner) had not appeared there as a voluntary prose cutor, nor had he any personal interest in the charges, hav ing been officially ordered to conduct the prosecution. Major Deane then proceeded in his address to analyse the several charges seriatim, and handed in most flattering testimonials from Lieutenant-General Newberry, Colonel Wetherell, Deputy Adjutant-General, Canada; Mikjor- General Sir Richard Armstrong, Commanding Canada West ; Lieutenant- General Sir Willoughby Cotton, Lieutenant-Colesel Bell, and Major Bennett, and having thanked the court for the unwearied attention which they had devoted to the investi gation, left his case to their decision, and proceeded to call his witnesses. . _ Several witnesses were examined, whose testimony went to disprove the charge against the gallant major. Lord Downes, one of the witnesses, bore the highest testimony to the character of Major Deane, as an officer and a gentleman. Colonel Mansell bore similar testimony. The case for the defence having closed here, the room was cleared, in order to allow the court to remain in delibe ration. The result will not be made known officially for some weeks. The Lord Chancellor has appointed Mr. Louis Perrin, bar rister-at-law, second son of the Right. Hon. Mr. Justice Perrin, to be his lordship's purse- bearer. The Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland have been authorised by their Excellencies the Lords Justices to com ence immediately some public works on the north shores of Lough Mask, county Mayo. The city of Kilkenny grand jury has adopted an address of congratulation to the Earl of Besborough, on his appoint ment to the viceroyalty of this kingdom. A requisition is in course of signature for convening the county to adopt a similar course.— Waterford Freeman. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The weekly meeting of the association held this day was most numerously attended. Long before the hour appointed for the commencement of business Conciliation Hail was completely crowded. Amongst the more prominent leaders of the movement present were, Smith O'Brien, M.P., Henry Grattan, John O'Connell, M.P., the Lord Mayor, Alderman Butler, N. Maher, M.P., D. O'Connell, jun., and a large number of the " Young Ireland" party, the more prominent members of which were loudly cheered on enter ing the meeting. On the motion of Satan O'Bramr, Esq. M.P., the chair was taken by the Lord Mayor. The SECRETARY, having read the minutes of the last day's proceedings, announced the receipt of the following letter from Mr. O'Connell, which he submitted to the meeting " London, July 24, 1846. " My dear Ray,—lNife - liftieh - to write, but 'little time to write in. The truth my spirit is sad and my heart is heavy at the miserable dissensions introduced into the association at a period precisely when unanimity was most necessary and most likely to be useful. "The advocacy of physical- force doctrines renders it im possible for those who stand upon the constitution of the as sociation itself to co-operate with those who will not adhere to that constitution. "This is a subject that does not admit of any species of compromise. The basis of the association is declared peaceable exertions alone. The same principle has been repeatedly and repeatedly reiterated, and has been latterly re-asserted and confirmed distinctly and emphatically by the association. " Here we take our stand—peaceable exertions and no other —no compromise, no equivocation—peaceable exertions, and none others. " Let it, however, be borne in mind that these peaceable doctrines leave untouchekthe right of defence against illegal attack or unconstitutional violence. " These peaceable doctrines, however, involve every other case, except resistance to, and defence against unconstitu tional violence. " It is unhappily become the more essential to assert our principles as the association is sought to be involved in pro ceedings of a most seditious nature, stated in the Nation news paper to have been perpetrated in and by the writers for that publication. It would appear that the traversers in the late indictment are by those writers involved in similar guilt with their own. It must, however, be recollected that while they accuse all, they convict only one, namely, the proprietor of the paper. His accusation, as far as , himself is concerned, is conclusive of guilt; but as to the other traversers, I for one, and I am sure they will all agree with me, proclaim the ac cusation to be totally false, and we indignantly and con temptuously reject the assertions of our maligner. " I will not, however, allow the matter to rest here. As soon as I return to Dublin I will give a regular notice of re ferring the subject to the committee, and to report thereon to the association. It is not possible to submit to the charges made i r t g s e o s a w t l h i which hm motion n distinctly new contradicted a tril. by our believe all the traversers swore a similar affidavit. against solemn us—c" I mean also to publish an address to the people of Ireland affidavits on the conduct of the physical force advocates, who con tinue, in spite of our solemn resolutions, members of our body. I will be able to point out in detail the infinite mis chief which the physical force advocates inflict on the body of the repealers of Ireland. " To leave this melancholy topic, I am glad to be able to say that, without positively knowing the fact, the repeal question will be left so far an open question as not to exclude repealers from such promotion in the various professions as their intrinsic merits ought to command. How often have we desired to have the repeal an open question, and every honest and well-thinking man will feel grateful to those who make it so. "There is another fact, of a pleasing nature—if the rumour respecting it be accurate—l myself believe it to be accurate, though, of course, I cannot state it positively. It is this — that the Lord Chancellor Brady has determined to reinstate the repeal magistrates. That will be giving the people the protection of from sixty to seventy gentlemen, who, as magistrates, enjoy the public confidence. This is another title to gratitude. " There are various measures in progress for Ireland ; among the rest, a Tenant Compensation Act, which I have reason to believe is calculated in a great degree to be satis factory to the Irish tenantry ; but there are many obstacles and claii,:ulties in the way of working out those useful mea • sures. Having, after all, fully strengthened the conviction that it is an Irish Parliament alone that can workout the pros perity of the Irish people—it is an Irish Parliament alone that can have sufficient knowledge and sufficient persevering inclination to insure the prosperity and freedom of old Ire land. No country under Heaven requires so vitally the pro tection of a domestic Parliament as Ireland does ; and with out refusing gratitude for kindnesses intended, I reiterate my decided conviction that we should not relax for one hour our exertions for the repeal. " Hurrah, then, for the Repeal. " Believe me to be very truly yours, " DANIEL O'CONNELL." Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, M.P., in moving the insertion of Mr. al though n d e i dl not t letterfu lfully o c n oin t c h i e dein minute s, all t h e observed, sentiments tlat con tained in the letter, he would, neverthe l e ss, move that it be placed on the records of the associat ion ; and as it was his intention to sail that evening for London, he would, if the meeting permitted him, l a y before them the reason why he differed with Mr. O'Connell. It had been said that in the i speech he (Mr. O'Brien) had recentl y delivered at Kilrush, he had given great pain to Mr. O'Connell and the members of p sa r y esse to dwohnatthpatartococfashioisn speech he cou m ld r. n. O'Connellhis family, but without pledging h i mself to the report of his speech as it appeared in the local journals, yet from the sen timentsot recede. He could he no e t x referred, but this he would aver, that nothing would have been further from his intention th an t o di sparage M r . O'Connell or any member of his family.—(Hear, hear.) If he recollected rightly, what he said on the occasion referred to was, that he possessed the confidence of Mr. O'Connell, of the Roman Catholic clergy, and of that party known as "Young Ireland." If there had been anything offen sive in that expression, he would willingly retract it ; or, perhaps, he was guilty of arrogance in the •boast he had made •, if so, he was pertectly ready to pay the penalty which the man who is guilty of boasting must inevitably pay, that of retracting his boast. On the last day of meeting, a certain gentleman (Mr. Reilly) had also taken some exception to what he said at Kilrush. He (Mr. O'Brien) was there to answer any question that might be put to him touching that speech ; but this he would say, that he came to Conciliation Hall not for the purpose of quarrelling with any man, but to endeavour, as far as in his power lay, to promote the repeal of the union.—(Cheers.) He was ready to justify his opinions on any stage, but he denied that any man, or any body of men, had any right to call in question his conduct, except his constituents on the hustings.—( Hear, and cheers.) After some further allusion to his speech at Kilrush, he observed that he did not concur in all the opinions put forward by the individual whom they (the people) looked upon as their leader. And if those opinions were to be the sine qna non of the agitation, he would merely say that in his opinion they were unjust and impolitic, and, if persevered in, he would be under the neces- 'EXAMPLES. row( ` 4l Bonus Bonus in gg g Assured Premium. ; added.

The watermen at Whitehall contended yesterday for a purse of sovereigns, very liberally subscribed by the Duke of Buccleuch, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Carrington, and others of the nobility and gentry of the vicinity. It was in three heats, with six scullers. First Heat. T. Jones (Yellow) 1 1 H. Finer.-- ...... (Pink) 2 T. Piner (Blue). The distance was from the Earl of Liverpool's up to West minster-bridge, down to a boat moored off Hungerford, up round a boat off the Duke of Buccleuch's, and finish at Whitehall, T. Piney took the lead, but in corning down by Bent's craft he gave place to the winner, who came in first by two lengths. _ _ Second Heat. T. Jones (White) 1I F. Jones (Green) 2 L. Piner (Scarlet). Immediately after the start F. Jones went away with a rattling lead, but snapped his scull, and the others passed him. A fresh scull was, however, handed to him, and he overhauled the second man. Grand Heat. This was started downwards, the distance round being nearly, with this exception, as before. F. Jones The winner took the lead and kept it, winning by two or three lengths. DEATH OF Slit GEORGE MUR- RAY, G.C.B. This distinguished officer has long been labouring under severe indisposition, so severe that for many months past he has been confined, not only to his room, but to his bed, and now, in the 75th year of his age, the sufferings and the life of this eminent person has been brought to a close. Sir George Murray was born on the 6th of February, 1772; and in the month of April, 1789, being then in the seventeenth year of his age, he received the commission of an Ensign in the 71st Regiment of Foot; from that hour, till the recent resignation of Sir Robert Peel, his connexion with the British army was never once interrupted. His education commenced at the High School, and was finished at the . University of Edin burgh. It is generally understood that he was a person of precocious intellect, and certainly upon no other hypothesis is it possible to imagine that a mind so accomplished as his could have received the finishing touches of education at the early age of seventeen. In barracks, bivouacs, or camps he could neither have pursued classical studies, nor culti vated modern literature; yet evidence not to be mistaken of a well-disciplined understanding, and a cultivated literary taste, were clearly discernable in his written compositions, his speeches, and even ' the tone of his conversation. Very few men, even among our most distinguished veterans, have seen such severe and ac tive service as Sir George Murray. Sharp fighting and military hardship seemed to be his lot from the first moment at which he carried the colours of his regiment till the last cannon resounded on the field of Waterloo. With the single exception of India he was absent neither from the disasters nor the triumphs of the British army. France, Ire land, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, the Nest Indies Denmark, and Egypt, have witnessed the services of this able and experienced commander. Of course he was unsuccessful in Flanders during the earlier part of the war, and he struggled through many difficulties under Sir Ralph Abercrombie, Sir Harry Burrard, and other commanders elsewhere; but at length the fortunes of England began to take a favourable turn, and that career of victory was commenced in the" Pe ninsula which ended in the overthrow of the French empire. It has often been remarked of the Duke of Wellington, as of all great men, that he is singularly prompt in discerning the particular individual who happens to be the man above all others best fitted for the particular duties which he requires to have discharged. His great general of division was Lord Hill, his great cavalry officer Lord Anglesey, his great or ganiser of raw levies Lord Beresford, and his best of all quarter-masters—General Sir George Murray. Every one recollects that the period at which the military , career of Sir George Murray commenced was one of ex treme excitement, and of no inconsiderable peril to this country. From the 71st Regiment, which, as already stated, he entered in 1789, Sir George Murray was removed to the 34th ; and in June, 1790, to the 3d guards. In the year 1793 he participated in the military operations which took place at St. Atnand, Famars, Valenciennes, Lincelles, Dun kirk, and Lannoy. He was on duty with a working party at the siege of Valenciennes. They were in the trenches when the globes of compression were exploded, and the covert-way stormed. lie went round the next morning to examine the result of these operations, and perceived that in the covert way two of his soldiers had been left behind, both severely wounded. A traverse sheltered them, but no one could approach the spot where they lay without being exposed to a fire of musketry from the enemy. Sir George, however, went to their relief, followed by two privates, and in a few minutes he was enabled to place the wounded men in the care of the surgeon of the regiment to which they belonged. He was appointed Aide-de Camp to General Campbell in the year 1795, and in the summer of the same year sailed with the expedition which was intended for Quiberon. In 1796 he proceeded to the West Indies, but ill health soon obliged him to return • he was able, however, t o serve a t h ome on the staff, and did so in England and Ireland throughout the years 1797 and 1798. In the month of August, 1799, the rank of a Lieutenant-Colonel in the army, together with a company in the Guards, were conferred on him. In the dangers and disasters of the expedition to Holland he fully participated, ar d though he was wounded at the Helder, he was soon able to proceed with his regiment to Cork. From that port I e embarked for Gibraltar as part of the force placed under the orders of Sir Ralph Abercrombie. Having been placed in the Quartermaster-General's department, he went to Egypt for the purpose or making arrangements preparatory to our celebrated expedition against the French in that part of the world. In Egypt, he displayed such gallantry and skill that the Turkish Government conferred upon Colonel Murray the Order of the Crescent. Although present at every one of the engagements there, he escaped unhurt. At Marmorice and Aboukir, at Rosetta and Rhamoine at Cairo and Alexandria, he vetv-- alike active acid successful. From Egypt he went to the West Indies, where he remained a year as Adjutant- General to the British forces in those colonies. His next important appointment was that of Deputy Quarter- Master General in Ireland ; but, in the interval between l.is quitting th e W est I n di es and as_ turning that post, he filled a situation at the Horse Guards. He had been only a short time in Ireland when orders were issued for assembling a force in Hanover; but the battle of Austerlitz soon put an end to that under taking. The next occasion upon which Colonel Murray hap pened to be engaged in active service was the expedition to Stralsund, which was undertaken in 1806, but this design Murray nEngland was scarcely ever dt fromhey was rendered wholly abortiv e b y the successes of the French arms in Poland. In about two y ears after that time, a di plomatic mission to Swede n was ent rusted to Col. Murray, and being there at the tim e that the expedition under Sir John Moore went to that countr y , he re ceived from Sir John the appointment of Quartermaster - General. Very so on afterwards these troops j oined the arm y in Portugal under Y Sir Arthur Wellesley; and throu g hout the long series of vic tories ad been quartered for three years in the cit y of Paris. In 1811 the subject of this memoir bec ame a Major- General, and received from the Princ e R egent of a e a t c h h e i in e v e until , rn3 i u e r a r a Portugal the Ord er of the Tower and Sword.

George had the choice of either remaining in Canada or of returning to Europe. He preferred rejoining his old companions in arms; the natural feelings of a soldier and the spirit of enterprise, which formed one of the elements of his character, would not permit him to remain an inactive spectator of such stirring scenes. The delay occasion • ec: by the embarkation of a large body of troops, made in sailing with and the slow progress la fleet of transports, prevented his overtaking theßritish army till it had nearly reached Paris. During the stay of our army o f occupation on the Continent Sir George remained with them, enjoying the local rank of a Lieutenant - General. While in Paris he re ceived seven orders of knighthood, besides those conferred upon him by his own Sovereign, a pretty strong proof of the esteem in which his character and services were held by continental monarchs. On the return of the Army of Occupation, he was appointed Governor of Edinburgh Castle, but he held that office for only a year. On the 14th of June, 1820, the University of Oxford conferred on him the degree of D.C.L. ; and in January, 1824, he was chosen a Fellow of the Royal Society. His appointment to the command of the 42d Foot took place in September, 1823, and, on the 6th of March following, he became Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance Department. In the same year he was chosen Member of Parliament for the county of Perth; but at this time his at tendance in Parliament was much interrupted by duties which devolved upon him in Ireland, where he filled the , • e_ • " y _ • Iffy staff itg Army fig fbo uttita ct altered. It had been asserted that Jittbou d, tinder no dr• cumstances, resort ro,.physicalfouse the liberties of the _means as . a of restoring countrY.- fkg*titiad entirely from any such assumptiodi- Itticierit and mddern history showed that the liberties of nations had been achieved by a re sort to arms. It was the adoption of physical force that preserved the crown for Queen Victoria. It was the force of arms that placed it on the head of Louis Philippe. It was physical power that made Belgium a nation, and restored liberty to Greece. He would not refer to the United States, holland, and other nations, whose cases had the, sanction of the international law of Europe. And was Ireland to be excluded from any such facility for righting herself by such means? It was not for him to say when a resort to physical force would be justifiable. - But, after all, it was a mere speculative question, and he trusted that circumstances should never arise which would justify them in resorting to such an alternative. There was, he was happy to say, no immediate prospect of any. What he denied was, that the association had no right to put any such test to the different members of the confederacy. The administration of such a test was unwise, and, under pre sent circumstances, wholly unnecessary; and if persevered in, would have the effect of detaching from the movement some of the most attached aid sincere friends to a repeal Of the unism.—(Cheers.) The Honourable Gentleman read portions of the resolutions l.ttely adopted by the assscciation, and then continued—Feeling that he had been some cause of these unhappy dissensions, in maintaining a position that the association did not sustain, he was the more bound to say that he would not allow the people who had done him the honour of supporting him to be sacrificed, without record his protest against it.—(Cheers.) He was bound to say frankly, that it any attempt were made to putdown:the Nation. or exclude certain gentlemen from the committees or the association —until they were restored it would be impossible for him to co-operate with them.—(Cheers.) But why were they driven to that alternative ? It was with the utmost pain that he felt himself bound to differ from a man who was justly recognised as their leader; but he was per suaded that the policy of the association—composed of one million persons— admitted a reasonable difference on every subject. That was the spirit which should influence them as freemen. If any one denounced in that letter were excluded, it would have a most suicidal effect. With the Nation news paper were connected men of the highest cultivation of mind; and he was not afraid to say that of Mr. Meagher—his friend Mr. Meagher—(Loud cheers)—that it would have been the greatest advantage to the country, after of course the members of Mr. O'Connell's family and his own parti cular friends, to have elected him as a representative of the Irish people. Those were his opinions, and he did not feel at liberty any longer to conceal them. He trusted the breach was not irreparable, and that the past would be forgotten in generous oblivion. Another question was whether they should form an alliance with the Whigs. When last he had addressed them he bad advised them ,0 that the Repeal party should not be identified with the Whigs. It was their policy that there should be a distinct national party in that country, who would not lend them selves to be tools to any British Parliament.—(Cheers.) If the Whigs even were inclined to do justice to Ireland, yet they were opposed to the repeal of the union, and, as such, were not entitled to their support.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. O'Brien then proceeded to advert to the promises held out by the present Government relative to the restoration of the jepeal magistrates and the extension of the franchise. With reference to their promises he saw nothing done as yet. Then they had promised something for the Irish church, establishment, and Lord Grey had expressed favourable opi nions on that question, but with which Lord John Russell had stated he did not identify himself. There was no decla ration to give the tenant compensation. On the whole he would repeat that the policy of the association was to support every good measure from every party, but to identify themselves with none.—(Cheers.) Hcowas going at great inconvenience to endeavour to obtain cheap sugar for the Irish people. He now said, and probably it was for the last time, that in order to carry out their policy it was necessary for Repealers to abstain from all solicitation of Government patronage. If repeal were an open question the case would be different, but there was no indication it was so. If it were an open question, the natural course would be to give Mr. O'Connell a seat in the Cabinet, with the understanding that he was at liberty on the next day to advocate the cause of repeal in that Hall. It was not an open question when they gave any place to any Repealer in order to shut his mouth afterwards.—(Cheers.) In 1833 they had several able men amongst them who in 1835 took office under the Whigs, and what was the result ?—(Cheers.) He would not say that the office converted them, but it silenced them.—(Cheers.) They knew the individuals he alluded to, and he need not name them.—(Criers of " Name.") He would begin with Mr. Bluets-. (Groans and hisses.) If then the acceptance of place entailed an abandonment of the principle of repeal, he for one did not wish to co-operate with them. How had that principle been carried out at the Dungarvan election? Mr. O'Brien then went on to state that he totally dissented from the principle of not contesting that and every other borough in order to return a repealer, and said that he had never, even during the state trials, felt such a despondency in the cause of Repeal as since the last month. Having thus repeated what he had said as to his co-operation in the cause, he thanked the meeting for their attention, and con cluded by " expressing a hope that the gallant vessel of Irish freedom would be wafted safely on the reflux of the tida, into the haven of national freedom." The Hon. Gentlenaan resumed his seat amidst tremendous cheering. Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, M.l'., regretted deeply to .be obliged to differ with the speech just delivered by Mr. O'Brien. He denied that there were any grounds for im puting selfish motives to Mr. O'Connell for supporting the Whigs.— (Mr. O'Brien dissented.) The expressions of Mr. O'Brien were not, perhaps, quite so explicit, but they certainly might be so construed. Was Mr. O'Connell to be censured for returning his son for Dundalk? He conceived he was not. It was not for the purpose of forwarding the election of his brother that he came from London, but to assist in furthering the cause, and he was perfectly ready to withdraw Mr. D. O'Connell from Bundalk if a more sin cere Repealer could be found. He might say the same with regard to Tralee and Kilkenny city. It was wrong to say that Mr. O'Connell sas determined to support the Whigs on every question. Why the fact was that Mr. O'Connell and the Ministry were at variance on the sugar question. lle believed that the admission of slave-grown sugar would necessarily lend a stimulus to the slave trade, and believing that such a consequence would ensue, he was opposed to the. policy of the Government on that question, which was really a vital question. And yet Mr. O'Brien was going over to London to support the Ministry on the sugar question. It was unfair to charge Mr. O'Connell with supporting the Whigs. From them the country had every reason to expect a series of beneficial measures, which, when passed, should enable them to assume a higher position than they (the people) at present occupied. They should not condemn the Whigs unheard. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to justify the general policy of the Go vernment and the appointments which they have made, and argued that the most beneficial results to Ire. land would arise from their administration. He justified the policy of Mr. O'Connell with regard to the Dungarvon and Dundalk elections, and showed that with regard to the former it would have been highly perilous to have contested it, and that his brother (Mr. D. O'Connell) was selected by the electors of Dundalk, and was not, as had been as serted, forced upon them. He defended the resolutions adopted on this day fortnight, and showed that any gentle man who joined the association, believing that the adoption of physical force was not inconsistent with its principles, de ceived himself most egregiously. The honourable gentleman had not concluded his address at post hour. Amount of remit up to three o'clock (post hour) is said to he 801. MYSTERIOUS CASE OF SELF- DESTRUCTION. A coroner's inquisition was held at eight o'clock on Satur day night, the 25th instant, at the house known as the Beef steak House, at Shorne, by the deputy-coroner, Mr. John Clabon, on the body of Mr. Thomas Swatland, who was found hanging to a tree in a wood abutting the turnpike road leading from Rochester to Gravesend. The body was first discovered by Mr. Luke Richard Sykes, a gentleman connected with the London and Westminster Bank, who was walking from Gravesend to Rochester, on Thursday afternoon, the 28th instant, and on his rising Shorne-hill, shortly after three o'clock, he turned from the turnpike-road into a cop pice, and having walked a few paces, he saw a man standing, and apparently looking up a tree, with his hat on, and as his position was somewhat strange, he stepped up, and found him suspended with a rote round his neck to the limb of the tree. He immediately cut him down, and on the rope becoming loose, a noise proceeded from the throat, which was the escape of the confined air from the body. lie immediately went to the nearest house for assistance. The body was stiff and cold, and was not touched until the arrival of a parish officer, when on searching him 191. 10s. in gold, a 5/. Bank of England note, and 1/. 19s. 6d. in silver, was in his pockets, also several letters and papers, and a short pipe. His walking-stick was standing against the tree. In the hat was his address, which led to his discovery. When first found the toes of deceased touched the ground._ The branch of the tree was about seven feet from the ground.
