" 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 every living crea ture able to understand 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 hidden 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 lilt e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation Df 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.

Mr. Wylie, of Girvan, was the first witness called this morning, and was examined by Mr. HOPE—His avocations made him acquainted with the districts through which this line passed. Considerable quantities of agricultural produce from these parts were sent to Liverpool and the manufactur ing districts; 14,000 bolls of potatoes were shipped annually from this port, a considerable portion of which found their way to Ireland. The vale of Girvan also abounded with coal and other minerals ; nine thousand tons were annually con sumed in the town of Girvan, and upwards of ten thousand tons were shipped during the same period for Ireland. Con siderable quantities of pine -wood were sent to Glasgow and Ayr, all of which would, he believed, be carried by this rail way if constructed. He did not think that the proposed line would injnriousiy affect the or.perty of Sir C. Fergusson. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Muiptcr—The proposed line would pass at about the distance of a mile from the re sidence of Sir C. , Fergusson. There were no steamers at present plying between Girvan and Belfast. He had known one steamer come up to the port of Girvan; he believed at about two-thirds tide, but did not know the size of it. Mr. J. Elder, Custom-house officer, of Girvan, gave evidence of the favourable position of the port of that place, and its capabilities of being made a very safe and commodious harbour, on account of the head lands by which it was protected. He thought that they might get a depth of ten feet at low water at a very small outlay, and there would be no difficulty in keeping the harbour, when constructed, clear of sand, because the bottom was almost entirely formed of clay. It would, when completed, form one of the best harbours on the coast of Ayr. There w°re great quantities of fish about Girvan, and he believed this railway would not only afford the means of carrying this fish to Glasgow, but that it would be of great utility to the people of Girvan. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Mtramv—The weavers of Girvan were very fond of taking trips by sea, but he could not say whether they were of such a locomotive disposition as teitake trips by land upon this railway if it were con structed. No such thing could enter the harbour of Girvan as one of the large steamers plying between Glasgow and Liverpool, or Ireland. Mr. Neilson examined by Mr. TharE—Was a butcher, and member of the town-council of Glasgow, and stated that great quantities of cattle and sheep were fed and fattened in the neighbourhood of Maypole, which would be carried to Glasgow by this railway, if constructed. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Mußrnv—The whole of the cattle consumed in Glasgow came from Forfarshire, the East Lothians, and from Ayrshire. Mr. J. Whitfield, tenant of the Burgenny coal-fields, and farmer of Girvan, gave evidence of the extent of the coal fields in that district ; they were six miles in length, and the present yield was 37,000 tons annually, but they were not worked to anything like their full extent, because at present they had no means of getting a market for their supply. If he had such a market opened up he could increase his supply of coal by 110,000 tons, the greater portion of which would be shipped for Ireland at the port of Girvan. The proposed line, if constructed, would effect a saving to him of 6,000/. a year in the carriage of his coals to Girvan, which was a distance of five miles from the pit's mouth. Cross-examined by Sergeant MURPHY—The vessels which would carry the coal to Ireland would bring back meal and other provisions. The meal that was sent from Ireland was of an inferior quality to that produced in the neighbourhood of Girvan, which was always sent to Glasgow and other towns in the north. The inferior article would be consumed by the people of Girvan themselves. Mr. J. Geddes and Mr. Frisbee corroborated the evidence of the last witness with respect to the quantity of coal and other minerals in the district through which the line would pass. Mr. Marshall, traffic-taker, gave general statistical evi dence of the amount of traffic to be expected upon this line. Mr. Knight corroborated the evidence of the last witness. Mr. Blyth, C.E., the engineer to the line was then called and examined—The total length of the line was 21 miles 5 furlongs. The branch to Maypole was nearly a mile in length. There were no tunnels upon the line, and the works presented no engineering difficulties. The total estimate for the works was 330,000/. The line would pass at least at the distance of a mile from the house of Sir C. Fergusson, and would not be seen from the house, as it would be completely obscured by the intervening hills. Mr. MillerpC.E., engineer in chief to the line, was exa mined, and corroborated the evid e n c e of Mr. Blyth, the acting engineer. Several witnesscs were called, who, as land valuers, gave evidence of the land which would be required for the pur poses of the railway, and the value of the same. This closed the case on behalf of the promoters of the Bill. Mr. Sergeant Munpiiy then called the attention of their Lordships to the case of Sir C. Fergusson, and contended that the circumstance of the traffic between Ayr and Girvan, and the district traversed by this railway, were not of such a nature as to warrant the outlay of so large a sum as would be required for this railway in the present depressed state of the money market, neither were they sufficient to justify the unwarrantable invasion of the private property of a person of so great respectability and high character as that of Sir C. Fergusson. The Learned Counsel also commented upon the absence of all evidence on the part of the promoters, with reference to the amount of traffic to be expected from Ireland, communication with which place had been so boastingly put forward by them. The port of Girvan would not afford any facilities for such a traffic even if it were to exist. With respect to the coal which one of the witnesses had stated would be sent to Ireland, the Noble Lord the Chairman of the Committee would bear him out in the assertion that it was not furnace coal, such as was produced in this district, that would be required for consumption in Ireland, but, on the contrary, house coal, which was produced, as stated by the same witness, from coal-fields to the north of Ayr, conveyance for which was al ready provided by the ports of Ardrossan and other ports on the coast, and which clearly would not be brought down to the inconvenient port of Girvan for shipment to Ireland. Then, with reference to the residential damage, he contended that the sinuosities of the surface of the country would not hide this eye-sore from the honourable proprietor whom he had the honour to represent. The proposed line went for four miles through his property, and there was not the slightest necessity for inflicting this grievous damage upon him, either on the grounds of local or through traffic, or as affording the means of communication with England, the latter of which was amply provided for by lines already sanctioned. Upon these grounds, therefore, he called upon their Lordships to refuse their sanction to the proposed line. A table of the assents, dissents, and neuters, was then handed in. No witnesses were called on behalf of Sir C. Fergusson. The room was ordered to be cleared. Upon our admission, The CHAIRMAN stated that the Committee were of opinion that the preamble of the Bill was proved. The Committee had introduced several verbal amendments in the clauses, among which was one limiting term for the construction of the line to five years instead of seven. In consequence of these amendments the Bill will have to be sent back to the llouse of Commons. Room C. IMPORTANT DECISION. OLDHAM, X IVERP 0 0 1., MANCHESTER, AND BIRKENHEAD JUNCTION. The Committee having heard during the early part of the morning the conclusion of the evidence on this Bill, have come to the following decision ; That the Oldham people are entitled to a better line than they have at present; but they do not think that the one before them is the best line that can be found; therefore the preamble is not proved. MELTING WEATIIER.—A good dame, who was con veying a basket of butter, among other things, to Canter bury market, in a donkey cart, on Saturday last, when the heat of the sun was particularly intense, intent upon the duties of driving the slow-footed animal, neglected to ob serve what was going on behind her. The butter melted with the heat of the sun, became entirely liquified, and dropped gradually away through the crevices of the cart, until at the termination of the journey, out of 17 pOletuda, KW* au gum mailzetV—Oemerbvry JQQw a 4 NORTH RENT RAILWAY COM- PANY. A special general meeting of the shareholders in this un dertaking was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of receiving a report from the directors preparatory to , a dissolution of the Company; Sir Isaac Lionel Goldsmid in the chair. The report presented a detailed history of the North Kent battle in a Committee of the House of Commons, which must be familiar to most readers of The Sun (a lengthened report of the struggle having during its continuance appeared us The Sun from day to day), and it therefore be comes unnecessary to give a detailed notice of this part of the report. The report then went on to state that the committee, when the South-Eastern Bill, for making the line from %Greenwich to Charlton, reached the second reading in the Lords, determined, under the then existing circumstances, to abandon their opposition, in con sideration of a sum of money (35,0001.) which the South• Eastern Company agreed to pay them. Of this sum, after deducting the purchase money of some land, included in the agreement, the property of the chairman, there remained a balance of 27,500/. fo r li qu id at i ng the debts and liabilities of the Company, and, after all claims had been satisfied, the remainder of the money, if there was any, should be di vided amongst the shareholders. A return of about 30s. per 'share would be made immediately on the receipt of the money from the South-Eastern Company. A PROPRIETOR having moved the adoption of the report, The CHAIRMAN stated that 58,300 shares had been issued, every shilling of the deposits on which had all been paid up. —(Hear, bear.) The directors had put the Company to no expense, except for a cup of coffee and a rusk.—(A laugh.) A SHARNHOLRER asked what were the ascertained liabili ties of the Company? The CHAIRMAN said 75,000/. was demanded of them, but they expected, upon a minute examination, to reduce that amount. A SHAREHOLDER-410w much ? The CHAIRMAN said, of course that would be a matter of opinion, but he was then 9nly dealing with facts.—(Hear.) A p ß opm E Twt froufbover said the shareholders in his part of the country were averse to giving u p th e sc h eme. The majority of the meeting, however, thought there had been a fair stand-up fight between themselves and the South- Eastern Company, and the directors had under such circum stances acted perfectly right in abandoning the opposition. The report was unanimously agreed to. In answer to a question, The CHAIRMAN said the 75,0004 included the money al ready paid.from the commencement of the Company. Subsequently it was stated that the expenses would not exceed 15s. per share. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and directors, and the meeting separated. THE GENERAL SHIPOWNERS SOCIETY. The annual general meeting of this Society took place yesterday at the Hall of Commerce, in order to receive the report of the Committee for the last year, and for the pur pose of electing five members to fill the vacancies in the Committee. The chair was taken at one o'clock by George Frederick Young, Esq. The SECRETARY (Mr. N. Wm. Symonds), read the report, from which we extract the following : " Your committee regret that another year has passed without any measure being introduced for the long-expected amendment of the pilotage laws. They have again remon strated with the Government on the delay. and disappointed as they feel that the evils so long complained of, proved, and admitted, still remain unredressed, they will not relax their efforts to obtain a remedy. "No step has yet been taken on the subject of lighthouses, to which attention was drawn by your committee in their last report. The state of public business during the present Parliamentary session may probably account for the com prehensive report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons thereon, which was presented before the close of the last session, having hitherto passed unnoticed. "As a member of the great community of the empire, the ship-owner advances no claim to special or peculiar privi leges : he has no right to demand, on abstract grouads, ex emption from any burden to which other interests are sub jected, or any immunity from which they are excluded : if they be protected, his fright to protection is co-equal with theirs : if they sustain the pressure of foreign competition, he must make up his mind to meet it also. All this, however, is true, only so long as he is permitted freely to pur sue like others his own interests in his own way, unfettered by any restrictions from which other interests are exempt. But if for objects of supposed national benefit, conferring on him no separate or special advantage, the State imposes on him burdens and restrictions of a heavily disqualifying nature, common justice would prescribe that up to the point to which the proved disqualification extends, he should be protected from the competition offl those who are free from his burdens ; and common sense will determine that unless so protected, he must sink in the struggle of such competition. Now this exactly is the case of the British shipowner. By the registry laws he is restricted to the use of ships probably the most costly in the world. By the navigation laws be is compelled to employ ex clusively the highest paid and most expensively fed seamen—those of native birth. By a variety of laws and regulations deemed by the Legislature essential to some common interest, or some general duty, he is impeded, taxed, and prevented from conducting his pursuits in the manner most conducive to his own interests. The effect of all this on his expenses must be self-evident. It has been estab lished argumentatively—statistically—before Committees of Inquiry—by Parliamentaryreturns—by proof upon proof, de fying refutation. It haabeen ditnunetisited by the moat con clusive ofall evidence, that of experience. Your committee have no desire to revive bygone controversies, but the annual records of their proceedings' bear continual testimony to the practical effects that have followed in every instance, in which the experiment has been tried of placing British shipping in a position of unprotected competition with the ships of foreign nations. It is consolatory to have observed that in reply to a question from the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord John Russell, in a recent discussion on the sugar duties, declared that 'he did not propose in any respect to alter the existing navigation laws.' Still, in the signs of the times your committee per ceive abundant reason for shipowners being prepared. It would be unworthy of your committee to affect to con ceal that which their successive records abundantly testify, that their own opinions have always been favourable to mo derate and just proteciiou to all interests. In the support of this principle they have been actuated by no selfish desire to promote class interests at the expense of those of the coin-• munity at large, but have been prompted solely by the conviction, that in its maintenance the interests of all would be most effectually advanced. If the general policy of the country is to be changed, they ask not now that for their own sakes they shall constitute an exception. But what they demand, is, even-handed justice. That justice which by Sir Robert Peel was promised to the agriculturists on the repeal of the corn-laws, and by Lord John Russell to the colonists on the alteration of the sugar duties;—namely, that freedom of production shall at least go hand in hand with freedom of competition." M.P., m ove d th e a d opt i on of the report and x is opinio n i n f avour of protection, and his gra l‘ t r i r. t e ul iresA t rs h me a dA t Nh the Noble Lord (Lord G. Bentinck) had taken up the question in such a statesmanlike manner in the House of Commons. He did net believe that the day was distant when those principles would prevail if they would rally round each other. Lord GEORGE BZNTINCK said that he came there as the reprernesilikee of King's Lynn, a great com mercial district, eisid not with the intention of taking an active part lii the proceedings of the day. He had always believed that the shipping interest of England was of the greatest moment to the country. He did not wish to enter into any debateable questions, but he felt that it was hard to speak of British shipping and not speak of free trade—(Hear, hear)—which, wherever it had been tried, had never failed to injure that interest; and he could tell them that unless the day arrived (which God forbid that he should live to see) when they could make the British sailor live as cheaply as the Norwegians and Danes, they never could contend on equal terms with the shipowners of other countries and of that country. They were told that they ought to be quite satisfied with the progress that they had made, but what signified that progress if others exceeded that progress, what signified it if they run a race, if others run faster, ?—( Hear, hear.) And he considered that the navigation laws should be maintained in their entirety, and they should avow free trade with those countries that had a competing maritime force. Where was their strength? Was it not in those colo nial possessions where they had a monopoly ? In China, where there was no naval force but their own—in India, where such was also the case? They ought to have different commercial treaties with different countries—a particular treaty with China; another with Norway; another with Russia, Prussia, and Sweden. That was the doctrine which he maintained. The course of the shipowners was again to unite—in union was their sole strength. It was said that Parliament had decided the question of free trade, but he did not know that the country had done so, and he, for one, would not give up the question as lost.—( Hear, hear.) As long as he was in Parliament he would fight the battle of protection.—(Hear.) He would conclude by seconding the adoption of the report, which was carried unanimously. Lord G. BENTMCK then moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman. It was only in his absence from the House of Commons that he (Lord George Bentinck) advocated so zealously their interests, for if Mr. Young had been there it would not have been necessary for him to have said one word. The resolution having been seconded, was passed unani mously. The Chairman briefly thanked the meeting. AT, LOND---iON.— EIZITRE OF THIS ALIEN.--Yesterday afternoon a Commission of Messrs.

The property having fallen to her for her life, the Learned Commissioner said it became escheated to the Crown, as Mrs. Mayes being illegitimate and born abroad was not a British subject. The Crown, therefore, had a right to take to it; and would no doubt, as it always did, act with liberality and justice to the parties interested, these proceedings being chiefly for the protection of the pro perty. The jury found that the property was of the value of 401. per annum, within the jurisdiction of the Sheriffs of London. DISCOVERY OF A NEW ►Ei' 3l OT COAL.—On Monday last, rejoicings on an extensive scale took place at Talk-o'- s tl e r a '- m Hil o l f , c t o o al of a new and valuable E.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, AUGUST 10.—The weekly meeting of the Asso ciation was held this day. Mr. O'Connell was present. The attendance was very numerous, and considerable anxiety was manifested to hear what bad been the decision of the committee with regard to the Nation. It was also believed that some new accessions of a respectable character to the movement would be announced. On the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL the chair was taken by J. C. Fitzpatrick, Esq., barrister. The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting, thanking it for the honour conferred upon him by placing him in that honourable position. He regarded the distinction as a com pliment upon him by the committee in consideration of the part which lie had lately taken, in the absence of better men, for the sustentation of the real interests of the country. Mr. O'CONNELL rose and moved the suspension of the standing orders, to enable him to move that the committee of the Association be directed to prepare a petition to the Le gislature against any renewal of the Arms Bill.—(Cheers.) It was with the deepest regret that he (Mr. O'Connell) perceived that the subject had been brought before the House, but still he had some reason for believing that the measure proposed by the Government was not understood in this country; on Wednesday next, however, they would be in full possession of its nature. He would, therefore, propose that the committee should not meet till they had all the facts before them. If they were ' not satisfactory, petitions ,should at once be adopted, imploring of the Go vernment not to renew that nefarious Act.—(Cheers.) He had no doubt but in Dublin alone 50,000 signatures would be attached to such a petition in one day.—(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he moved that the committee should meet on Wednesday. The Honourable Gentleman then pro ceeded to say that there was another subject which he wished to bring under the consideration of the Association, and which was of infinitely more importance than any thing connected with the Arms Bill. It related to the recent conduct of some Roman Catholics in the north of Ireland—(Hear, hear)—and which deserved severely to be reprobated. The Orangemen, it appeared, had lately, in the course of their insane " marchings" (as rimy were called), committed several horrible outrages which loudly called for a Government investigation.—(Hear, hear.) But the fact of these outrages, atrocious as they were, having been com mitted was no reason why the Catholics should interfere with the savages who perpetrated them. The Orangemen, if prosecuted, were sure of an acquittal, as no Orange jury would find them guilty. It was not so with the Catholics— innocent or guilty, they were sure to be convicted. The Hon. Gentleman having read several documents in connexion with the affair, concluded by moving that the repeal wardens of the south be directed to use their influence in the prevention of outrage, and likewise that Mr. Steele be deputed to exhort the Roman Catholics of Ulster not to interfere in any way with the proceedings of the Orangemen. Mr. O'CONNELL here wished to announce, and he trusted his friends of the press—(Cheers)—would notice it, he had been again tormented with an anonymous letter. Fifty times in his life had he declared that he had an utter contempt for such productions; for if the writer's name were worth giving, he would be sure to give it.—(Laughter.) It was a very lengthy document, and was dated "Camberwell, Aug. 6th." The writer had taken immense trouble with it, but he (Mr. O'Connell) would s h ow t h em h ew little trouble he had in getting rid of it. [The Hon. Gentleman here tore the docu ment amidst much laughter.] He would next hand in 1/. the subscription of Constantine J. Smith, who had heretofore been deterred from becoming a member by the conduct of the Young Ireland party.—(Cheers.) His next duty was to read the following letter:— 1 " Reform Club, Friday, Aug. 7, 1846. " My dear Sir,—Although you affirm that a public letter does not often carry conviction, I am sure you will not be sorry to hear that your letter to me has done so. " Last Monday's proceedings at Conciliation Hall,have con vinced me that the principle of moral force has been finally adopted by the Association, and I therefore no longer hesi tate in enrolling myself a member. Inclosed is a:five-pound note, for my first y ear ' s subscrip tion; and I am, my dear Sir, most faithfully yours, " CECIL LAWLESS." . As Mr. O'Connell pronounced the name, with great em phasis, the entire auditory rose en masse, and cheered loudly for several minutes. The cheering having subsided. Mr. O'CONNELL said he had the honour to move that the Hon. Cecil Lawless should be enrolled a memberof the Loyal National Repeal Association.—(Cheers.) He would also move that his letter should be inserted on the minutes; and he took that opportunity of expressing his heartfelt delight that Mr. Lawless had joined the cause of repeal. Fifty years ago his father had been imprisoned for loving Ireland too well ; but his nine months' imprisonment had only created a more fervent affection for his native land. The real reason why he had been sent to prison by Lord Clare was well known; A poor man was drinking at a well by the roadside, nn a Scotch dragoon rode up, and asked him " why he dared to be out so late." The man replied that part of the district was not proclaimed; but he brought him to a turnpike, and there cut him down. —(Oh, oh.) Lord Cloncurry with difficulty had prosecuted the miscreant, but Lord Norbury had told the jury to acquit him.—(Disapprobation.) From that hour Lord Cloncurry had registered a vow in heaven to look for the good of Ire land. He was an excellent man, and a good landlord ; one on the surface of whose property there had been no ruffle, while all Limerick had been disturbed. He (Mr. O'Connell) was rejoiced that his son had joined the ranks of " Old Ire land." He had now the honour to move that Thomas Maher, Esq., born that morning, and presented to him by his excellent friend, Mr. Maher, should be enrolled a member of the Association.—(Cheers and laughter.) He was not very old, but he was not a Young Irelander.—(Cheers.) A Voice—He may be worse.--(Order.) Mr. STEELE read a letter from the Right Rev. Dr. Coen, en closing 401., and expressed his gratitude for the high honour which had been done him by selecting him to submit it to the Association. On the motion of Mr. O'CoNNELL, the letter was inserted on the minutes. Mr. STEELE also submitted some communications from the Rev. Dr. MacGennis, P.P., of Clones, and presented several addresses to Mr. O'Connell from various parts of Ireland, ex pressive of the utmost confidence in his wisdom and integrity Mr. O'CONNELL suitably acknowledged the honour which had been done him, and expressed his conviction that by the exertion of constitutional agitation they might ultimately hope for a restoration of their domestic Legislature. With the adhesion and co. operation of the Catholic clergy, there was every reason to believe that no violence or outrage would ever occur, and that the people would be restrained within the bounds of moderation. Mr. O'CONNELL again rose, and read a communication from the Rev. Dr. Burke, enclosing 201. repeal rent. The constituency of Clonmel had done him (Mr. O'Connell) the honour of entrusting him with the selection of a candidate to fill the vacancy which was about to occur in the representa tion of that borough. He considered the electors of Clonmel were fully qualified to select a candidate, but if they should consider his presence necessary in order to support the cause of repeal, he should most willingly go down. In conclusion, the Hon. Gentleman read a l e t ter f rom C ashel, enclosing 581. rent, including the subscription of his Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Slattery, Archbishop of Cashel, likewise the resolutions. Mr. Joins O'CoNktru. then addressed: the Association relative to the notice of motion given by his father in Par liament for an inquiry into the effects of the union on Ire land, and concluded by moving " that a committee should be appointed for the purpose of preparing documents for the use of members during the discussion of Mr. O'Conncll's motion in Parliament." In doing this they were taking a leaf out of the book of the Anti Corn-law League, as the League had taken a leaf out of their book. They took their leaf by forming an association and holding public meetings. He would take his leaf by the distribution of small publica tions to enlighten the public mind. He hoped the com mittee would be able to digest the invaluable matter that had been collected from the labours of former committees, in order to show the grievous evils arising from the union and the irresistible necessity of its being repealed. Mr. O'Connell here handed in several sums of money, including the remaining half-notes of 90/., forwarded during the precediag week, in addition to 131. from thirteen Roman Catholic clergymen by Bishop Cantwell. Having read letter, in which the writer expressed his regret at the seces sion of Mr. Smith O'Brien, and a hope that he would rejoin the Association, Mr. O'CositrELL said he heartily concurred in the hops that Mr. O'Brien would still join them. They had not se parated from him, but he had thought it right in his judg ment to separate from them, and whenever he could bring his mind to join them on the principle of moral force, never did man receive a more enthusiastic reception than he should. It would not be worthy of the Association if they sacrificed their principles for any private indi vidual. There was a marked distinction—as marked as that of day from night—between physical force and moral persuasion. They would fling all idea of physical force to the idle winds, and would act on moral persuasion alone. It was that which obtained emancipation; it was that by which Cobden had carried the repeal of the corn-laws; and it was by that alone that they would carry the repeal of the union. It was then late, but he would not allow them to separate without offering them some considerations on the present state of political affairs. They had been for merly laughed at in E ng l an d , t h ey had been met by taunts, but a new era had now dawn e d , an d there was now an uni versal wish throughout England to remedy the mischief and palliate the wrongs of Ireland.—(Cheers.) His object was to ameliorate the condition of the people, firstly of the poorer classes, the labourer and the manufacturer—those men who had no other resource but the strength that their Maker had given them ; and then his object was to amelio rate the condition of the entire of the people. It was said that the English Parliament was ready to assist them. They were ready to assist the Government. He was anxious to obtain good for the people, and enjoy it when they got it. That was the basis of his exertions. He felt bound to state what was the condition of the people of Ireland—" it was worse than that of any people of Europe," as was proved by Lord Devon's Commission. Those were not the words of a demagogue, or of a wan fabricating grievances; they were the words of Lord Devon in his report, subscribed to by Mr. Redington, the present Secretary at the Castle. He was but repeating the words of the Royal Commission : truly it might be said, " non meo hie sermo!" The Honourable Gentleman then proceeded to advert to the resources of the country, and their utter inutility, arising from the decay of trade, and proceeded to say it was his duty to restore prosperity to the country. Now that the spirit of the dream of the Times had been changed, it condescended to talk rationally to him, and he was ready to admit the reason of what it said—" that he ought to join the Government in carrying out these measures of good." He was rea dy : guilelessly, zealousy, and unremitting would he devote him • self to do so. There was, however, a question between the Times and him as to how this good was to be carried out. He said that it would be by the instrumentality of a legis lature in College-green. That was his answer to the Times when it said that " it was not necessary for him to look for repeal." Let but a year elapse and he would prove the Times to be wrong—he would clearly demonstrate that the Government could not assist Irel an d . H e saw a threatening of this breaking out in the protectionist party. They would be thwarted by party faction feuds, and their best endea vours would fall to the ground. But it was right that lie should not deal in general terms—it w,:s right that he should show what he expected. There were then three distinct tonics—the first, as regarded religion, involving education, the second regarded political rights, and the third referred to the relation between landlord and tenant. On the subject of religion they did not re quire any connexion with the state, they did not want that their clergy should becom e pens i oners o f any government, nor subject to the bribery of the Castle or the seducery of St. James's. The Catholic prelates had frequently declared that they never would accept a Goycrument previeice, the micicilhig clergy had ' repeated that declaration, and the people were content to have the clergy as they were, and would never consent to their becoming the minions of power or the bribed servants of the state. It was said in England that the Government wanted to create an establishment for the Roman Catholic clergy; but they could not, should not do it; and he cau tioned them against making the attempt, for they could do nothing more calculated to afford to the people a worse spe cimen of treachery. They were content with their church as it was ; they were ready to support it, and they did sup port it in a manner truly wonderful, considering the poverty , of the nation. Any sect or individual, therefore, who con gratulated themselves on the prospect of the Roman Catholic clergy becoming the pensioners of the state deceived them selves most egregiously. Whilst on the subject of religion he would refer to the Bequests Act; and he insisted that the clauses in that Act of an, oppressive nature should be struck out. He alluded particularly to the mortmain clause.— (Hear, hear.) All he required was that this should be con sidered on Catholic principles, as he insisted that any mea sure affecting Protestant or Presbyterian interests should be considered on Protestant and Presbyterian principles. Par tiality to none—fair play to all.—(Cheers.) It was also de sirable that the charter of the national schools should be re considered, with a view of placing Catholie children more immediately under the control of the Roman Catholic bishop. He was prepared to accede the same power to those who dif fered from him in religion. The national system of education could not be effective unless the alteration he suggested were adopted.—( Hear, hear.) He insisted likewise on a revi. sion of the " Infidel Colleges" Act. He likewise wished this measure to be considered on Catholic principles. The Roman Catholic hierarchy had protested against that measure, and their remonstrances should be attended to. They believed that any system of education which had not religion for its basis must be fatal, and they consequently refused their sanction to the Government scheme. They saw the effects of Government schools in Prussia and in France on the morals of the people, and they were determined to protect the youth of Ireland from such disas trous consequences. On the part of the people of Ireland he (Mr. O'Connell) declared that unless the Government amended that Act, they could not hope to win the hearts of the Irish people.—(Cheers.) There was another point con nected with religion to which he wished to call the attention of the executive—the necessity of attaching chapels for Roman Catholic purposes to the different workhouses throughout the country. The utility of them mu: tbe ob vious to any one acquainted with the Irish character. Public opinion called for the re-consideration of the Marriage Act. Through some blunder this Act, which was intended to give freedom of conscience to the Presbyterians, had be come, by the decision of same of the judges, a trap for the Catholic clergy. (The Honourable Gentleman explained the nature and tendencies of the Act.) The amendment of that measure was one of the first things he should press on the attention of the Legislature; and in doing so he had the sanction of the bishops. The next point to which he would refer was the Established Church. The people were perfectly ready to give the Government reasonable time for effecting such changes as were absolutely necessary; but they did ex pect that it would be reduced to the actual wants of the Pro testants. In saying this, however, he wished it to be under stood that vested rights should be scrupulously respected, and that no clergyman should be deprived of the advantage which he at present enjoyed, but should continue in full pos session of it during the period of his life. To act in any way contrary would be arrant robbery.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman proceeded to enumerate his demands on the Go vernment. In the first place he implored of them not to make any attempt to bribe the Roman Catholic clergy; secondly, he required an alteration in the Bequests Act ; thirdly, a re vision of the charter of the national schools ; fourthly, amend ments in the " Infidel Colleges" Act; fifthly, an alteration in the Marriage Act--a law which placed the Roman Catholic clergy under the hazard of committing felony; sixthly, the establishment of chapels in the different workhouses; and, lastly, an equitable appropriation of the revenues of the Esta blished Church. He would submit these suggestions to the consideration of Parliament, and if they were acted upon the English press and the English people would have the advantage of him; but if they were not, it would unques tionably strengthen him in his arguments in favour of repeal. Sir Robert Peel had declared, at a most important moment, that the people of Ireland should be placed on a footing of perfect equality, political and religious, with the people of England. If this principle were to be acted upon the number of representatives should be increased, the elective franchise should be extended, the municipal corporations reformed and placed on the same basis as those of England and Scotland ; above all, the appoint ment of sheriffs should be vested in them. The appointment of sheriffs by the people was absolutely necessary to secure the due administration of justice. Their offers of conciliation would be a mere mockery if they did not give to Ireland the same municipal privileges as those enjoyed by England. Then there was the Landlord and Tenant Bill. If the Go vernment wished to see tranquillity permanently restored to this country, if th e y w i s h e d to put an end to agrarian dis turbances, let them give to Ireland a good Landlord and Tenant Bill, which would secure to both parties the enjoy ment of their just rights and privileges. He (Mr. O'Connell) was most happy to observe that since the accession of the present Government to power a single outrage of a serious character had not occurred.—(Cheers.) That circumstance ought to prove to Lord John Russell that the people had every confidence in him, and were willing to give his Ad ministration every trial. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by impressing on the Executive the necessity of reducing the stamp -duty on leases, and of passing an Act for prevent ing distraint for rent in certain cases, and to deprive landlords of the power of ejecting unless where the tenant possessed a lease ; and, above all, the absolute necessity of imposing an absentee tax. Let the Government carry out these suggestions, and they would have the support of every well-minded individual in the empire. Mr. O'Cornkrzza. again rose, and brought up the following report of the committee appointed to consider the case of the Nation. He (Mr. O'Connell) would not wish to injure the property of that journal, and therefore would abstain from making any remarks with reference to it. He merely wished that the Association should sever itself from it : " The general committee to which it was referred to con sider and report • whether there be any such connexion be tween this Association and the Nation newspaper as may require a severance of that connexion,' beg leave respectfully to state to the Association— " 1. That it is a standing rule of the Association that any person or persons contributing a sum of 10/. to the repeal rent, and transmitting same to the funds of the Association, have a right to have the sum of 11. 6s. out of said sum of 101. allocated for the purpose of having a Dublin newspaper, re ceived by the party or parties so subscribing, until that sum is exhausted. "2. That the selection of the newspaper to be so received by such subscribing party or parties is left to the parties themselves, provided such paper shall report the proceedings of the Association. " 3. That the newspapers hitherto selected have been the following :—The Weekly Freeman's Journal, the Weekly Re gister, the three-day Freeman, the three•day Pilot, the Nation, and the Irish Advocate. "4. That the parties so selecting newspapers are bound to certify to the Association that every individual subscriber to the sum above mentioned shall have free access at all times to read the paper so selected. " 5. That we are distinctly of opinion that, considering the highly illegal and unjust decisio n ma d e b y t h ree j udges i n the Courb.of Queen's Bench, in the late state prosecutions, by which they admitted in evidence the contents of news papers with which most of the traversers had no connexion whatsoever, but, on the contrary, many of whom repudiated such contents, it is our bounden duty not to leave it in the power of any other tribunal to make a similar, or perhaps snore unjustifiable, decision. " And, therefore, we are unanimously of opinion that the Association should totally sever itself from any imaginable responsibility on account of, or connexion with, the contents of newspapers so selected and received as aforesaid. " G. That the Association should most emphatically dis claim any species of responsibility for the contents of any newspapers so received or sent as aforesaid. " 7. That there are passages in the Nation newspaper which render it necessary, for the safety of the Association from prosecution or indictment, not to permit any subscribers to the repeal rent in future to allocate any portion of their subscriptions to payment for the Nation newspaper. "8. That the Repeal Association is bound, for its own per fect safety, to declare that it cannot in future concur in any way in the circulation or sale, direct or indirect, of the Nation newspaper." Some unimportant business having been gone through, Mr. O'Connell announced the rent for the week to be 33.14 The meeting then adjourned. ORANGE DISTURBANCES IN ULSTER. Cavan, and of counter-processions by the Roman Catholic e n Fo r ed m s omeov emdeanytt s peasantry. We have learned that the Committee of the:Re pbyastotheeroerhanagree pa been a in cco m un ona ts gofhanthre4d peal Association have determined on sending Mr. Steele forthwith to the district, in order by his influence amongst the Catholics to prevent any collision, and to establish peace and good feeling, if possible, between the parties. Mr. Steele is to start for Ballyhaise, county of Cavan, probably this afternoon. DECAY OF THE FRANCHISE IN IRELAND. There has been, owing to various causes, a great diminution in the number of persons qualified to vote at elections for Parliamentary representatives in Ireland. At the Cork assizes, on Saturday, there were some appeals from the de cisions of the registering barrister. In one case a claimant had been rejected, and in his case it was stated that house property had deteriorated one-foujth in value in the borough of Kinsale. COMMISSION COURT.—THIS DAY. 1111 GAMY CASE.—THE QUEEN V. WARY DOWNES. In this case Mr. PixmcErr, Q.C., moved for a habeas cor pus test to bring up the body of Henry Augustine Browne, barrister-at-law, a prisoner in Kilmainham gaol, under sentence of transportation, to give evidence against Mary Downes, alias Fitzgerald, alias Browne, who is at present in custody on a charge of big am y, for !Living married Henry Augustine Browne, her husband, Wiliam Fitzgerald, being at the time alive. The Court granted the application. TILUNDER-STORM IN BELFAST.—There was a dreadful storm of thunder and lightning in Belfast on Saturday. The electric fluid entered a house attached to a bleach-green on the banks of the Laen, and killed two workmen. Two others were severely injured. SUPPLIES OF INDIAN MEAL—The Kite, revenue cruiser, Captain Burke, is ordered to take on board Indian meal at the Government stores, Custom-house Dublin, and p rocee d to Arklow, and alon g le east coast, to deliver it where re quired. The Sligo Champion says :—" The Government has reduced the price of Indian meal in this town to 9s. Al though the accounts will be closed upon the 15th, the stores will be kept open until the present supply is disposed of, and we believe it will last until September." MURDER OF A GAMEKEEPER.—On Thursday evening last, et a late hour, as a poor man named Daniel Cox was pro ceeding from Tarmonbarry to Ruske'', accompanied by a little boy, he was met by a party of ruffians, who cautioned the boy to go away from Cox ; they then commenced beat ing him with stones, broke his arm, and smashed his skull, and in short finished their .murderous attack before they went away, as he never spoke afterwards, although not quite dead when the priest was brought to him. Cox was a game keeper of the late Lord Forbes, and was at the time in a similar situation with Mr. Tradennick ; there was a quan tity of stones about the place where the murderous attack was made, and it is thought that it was in consequence of making himself disagreeable to poachers by doing his duty he was murdered. It is reported two men have been arrested. The poor man was advanced in years, and has left a large family. The scene of the murder is in the county of Ros common, but it is not more than seven !tulles west of this town.--Longford Journal. c9Va 91' cliAttaisiopiattce paten kinug PAW CLOSE OF THE POLL. Cabbell - Listowell 149 Majority —11.5 A little before five o'clock the Mayor announced the poll as above, and declared Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell to be duly elected. The announcement was received with mingled ap plause and disapprobation. Mr. CABBELL then addressed the electors, and said that on previous occasions when he had the honour of appearing before them on the preceding day he had followed his noble opponent. Their kindness had, however, changed matters, and he was now advanced to the first rank. He would use an expression, perhaps more kindred to a sister country—he had been twice behind before, but he was first at last— (Laughter)—and he hoped th a t it would not be the last time he should be first.—(Laughter.) He then said, he would not pledge himself to anything; and having acknow ledged their kindness, and declared his gratitude, retired amidst great applause. Lord LisrowELL said, although he did not then present himself as their Member, he hoped shortly to do so ; although he did not then present himself to return them thanks for re-electing him, he came forward to thank those who had supported him upon that and former occasions, and he had no doubt but that he should be reinstated in the position, as regarded that town, he had so long the honour to hold. His Lordship retired amidst great cheering. Mr. Cabbell was subsequently chaired round the town. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Ponosmouru, AUG. 11.—The Gladiator steam-frigate, Captain Robb, will, it is supposed, be ordered to Woolwich, as the damage sustained by her machinery is more extensive than was at first apparent. It is rumoured that her officers and ship's company will be transferred to the Dragon steam frigate at Sheerness. Commander Graham Ogle (nephew of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., the Commander-in-Chief at thi s p or t, an d god son f the ate Lord Lynedoch), late of the Royalist 10-gun brig, on the East India station, has, very much to his credit, volunteered to do duty as First Lieutenant of the Semarang, 26, Captain Sir Edward Belcher, now on her passage to England from Borneo. When Mr. Ogle volunteered his services to Captain Belcher, he was not aware of his pro motion to the rank of Commander. The Rifleman steam gun-vessel was floated out of thedock she was built in yesterday afternoon, and immediately had jury -masts put in and com mence d r i gg i ng . Sh e w i ll b e sent to IVoolwich as soon as ready, under charge of Mr. Flinn, ' master of the Victory, and a portion of that ship's crew, to get her engines and screw-propeller. Two labourers working for Messrs. Rolt, on the Steam Basin works, were this morning precipitated from the high est part of the works to the bottom of theexcavation, in con sequence of the giving way of the support of one of the tram ways, by which the engine technically called " a jenny," with a stone suspended from it weighing nearly three tons, was thrown over, and those men who were on the machine fell with it. One was carried to Hasler Hospital so much hurt that his life is despaired of; the other, though terribly shaken and bruised, is in a fair way of recovery. It is said that the supports are not, in many places, sufficiently sub stantial, and that this one which has given way was reported to be unsafe some days previous. The Edinburgh, 72, was docked to-day to be fitted as a block ship. The Nautilus, 8, Lieutenant -commanding J. M'Donell, sailed to-day to resume her station off Brighton, for the pro tection of the fishery. An accidental bursting of an air-pipe on board the Fairy steam-tender to the royal yacht yesterday, has disabled that vessel, for the present, from attending upon her Majesty. The Victoria and Albert has been consequently sent on that service to-day. The Neptune, 120, was removed from the basin to-day alongside the jetty. PLYMOUTH, AUG. 10.—Her Majesty's steamer Alban, Com mander Burney, came in last night from Cork. At a quarter to six o'clock, on Sunday evening, her Ma jesty's steam-sloop Inflexible, Commander J. C. Hosea/son, for the Cape of Go©d Hope, sailed from Bampool, having taken on board 800 barrels of gunpowder, for the troops at the Cape. The Inflexible, one of the most beautiful steamers in the navy, is 1,122 tons burden, and 378 nominal horse power. This vessel, which was predicted by a contempo rary as unable to swim with her usual or established allowance of stores for a complement of 145 men, has ab solutely sailed to attempt a di rect voyage to the Cape of Good Hope, with the following quantity of military stores and specie, for the aid of the colony :—Seven weeks' water for an increased complement of 15 men, making now a total of 160 men • 84 days' provisions ; 390 to n s of coal, in the bunke rs; all her own stores, glop, powder, - shot, shell, &0.,. with a large addition of 'extra engineers' stores, to make the vessel indepeident'of a dockyard for three years; besides this, she takes out seven field-officers; 2,000 stand of arms; 20 tons of powder for the colony; $2 large casks of military accoutrements, so as perfectly to arm 2,000 men ; and 55,000/. in specie, of which 40,0001. is in gold, and 15,0001. in silver. Over and above the stores, it must not be lost sight of that both captain and officers have laid in very large stocks, all being provided for a voyage to New Zealand, the ultimate destination of the ship. Despite these great additional weights, she steamed to the Eddy stone at the rate of eight and a half nautical miles an hour, the engines working up to 13 revolutions; the draught of water when she left Barnpcol was 15 feet 10 inches aft, and 15 feet 3 inches forward. AUG. 9.—On Friday, the 7th inst., Plymouth Sound was graced by the presence of four of her Majesty's ships, des tined to increase the squadron of evolution, under Vice-Ad miral Sir W. Parker, G.C.8., viz.:—Her Majesty's frigate hadand wan out Raleigh, 50, Captain Sir T. lerbert, 5.C.8.; her Maiestes frigate Constance, 50, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker I her Majesty's sloop Spartan, 26, Captain. T. M. C. Symonds; and her Majesty's sloop Eurydice, 26, Captain Elliott. The crews were making every preparation for an early de parture. d her h a hands s w o l n o n the bo The Raleigh went into the Sound from Barnpool of f n :li m e Ist , doc7th.ard onshtheeth6ethn, list to port. The Constance arrived in the afternoon of the 4th from Portsmouth, and was paid advance on the 7th, when she appeared in good trim, and was visited by Admiral- Superintendent Sir S. Pym, of the Devonport dockyard, and Captain Sir Thomas Fellowes, of the Royal William Victuall ing-yard. The Spartan arrived from Spithead on the sth, and was paid advance. Until yesterday she bore the flag, blue at the main, of Port-Admiral Sir John West. The Eurydice came in on the 4th, at 7 in the morning, from Portsmouth. On the 7th her hands were busily employed stowing sails, &c. Yesterday, at a quarter after 4, the Spartan struck her flag, and saluted the Admiral with 17 guns, which were acknowledged by her Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120, Captain Manby H. Dixon, in Hamoaze. The Admiral's flag was hoisted on board the Netley cutter. At half-past 5 the four ships, with the blue peter flying, hove their anchors close to their bows. At half-past 7 this morning they got under weigh. On board the Raleigh Captain Herbert hoisted his broad pen nant, as Commodore, and was immediately saluted by the Constance, Spartan, and Eurydice. There was a stiff breeze from south-west. The Spartan and Eurydice started first under courses and single-reefed topsails. The frigates were under courses, single-reefed topsails and topgallant-sails. The Eurydice has evident advantage of the Spartan. She was the more weatherly ship, and beat the Spartan nearly a mile in an hour. The Raleigh, however, was overhauling both, and probably got to windward of them in five or six hours. These three were out of sight of the citadel by 10 o'clock. Shortly after leaving the harbour the Constance carried away a spar, sheet, or some portion of her rigging. For nearly an hour she lay with her main-topsail to the mast, with several hands aloft. The Netley cutter went outside the breakwater, and communicated with the Constance by signals, which were repeated by the Inflexible in Barnpool, and by the telegraph at Mount Wise. At eleven o'clock, in consequence of a signal from the Netley, the Raleigh put back, lowered her boat, and commu nicated with the cutter, after which she again bore down Channel. The Constance was not out of sight at two o'clock. WOOLWICH, AUG. 11.—The Princess Royal transport-ship arrived at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, with condemned stores from Barbadoes, and brought home 114 invalids, who were all landed at Gravesend, to join the depots at Chatham, with the exception of five non-commissioned officers - and four gunners and drivers, who landed at the Royal Arsenal. The Princess Royal made an excellent pastage, laaving_run from Barbadoes to Portsmouth in twenty-eight days. . Nine teen women and th irty-thre e children came home in this orphans. Riggs, vessel, the greater number widows and The Trident steam-vessel, Lieutenant arrived at Woolwich this morning from Chatham, to have some slight defects made good. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, AUG. 11.—There is no change in the market to-day. Good printing cloths continue in fair demand ; but other descriptions of cloth, and most kinds of yarn, are in limited request—in some cases at rather lower rates. ROCHDALE, MONDAY, AUGUST 10.—The flannel market still continues inactive, and demand limited. Wool has un dergone little variation, either in price or quantity sold. 11 UDDEILSEIELD, TUESDAY, AVG VS'S 11.—There have been a good many buyers in the market, and a fair business doing, although perhaps not quite so much as during the two la s t weeks. Wools are steady in price, and the demand for woollen yarn is very brisk. LEEDS, TUESDAY, AUGUST 11.—The improved state of our market continues, and almost all descriptions of woollens are in very fair demand.--Manchester Guardian. APPOINTMENTS IN THE EXCISE.—By th• promotion of Dr. Bateman, the chief clerk in the Excise-office, to the office of solicitor in that department, the chief clerkship has become vacant. ➢lr. Proctor, for many years engaged as as sistant to the late Mr. ➢layon, has become the successor of Dr. Bateman, and Mr. Dwelly, second clerk, has been ap pointed in the room of Mr. Proctor. Several other changes are in contemplation.
