It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns for any period - ; - and such is its purity, that it neither affects sons the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have si t 7 t e to the introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ; p,.7 are entirely obviated by the " PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS 111 .- „ I' ,Z 11 . " As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is com q TIY supposed, it Is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for 'l ' J- houses, hotels, manufactories, and pubc buildings. One of the sma ll burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum w,_4leasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of "tc or trouble. Merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing ri ,„` t Y other known light, are shown' by the annexed authentic inions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. - 7,lract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil En4neerS, ticaday, 26th May, 1846, Sir JOHN RENNIE, PlT:ill:lent, in the Chair. The gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. e Principal nevelty was the introduction of a wreatn of air to the "ntre of the flame by a hollow, button in the middle of the burner. I Zze air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was 4 „Td, and passed Out by two series of flre-holes around the periphery, I,',. l npinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards t',4,_tile shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with c arburetted hydrogen gas. produced a very perfect combustion, ;a s e flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, ~.,was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, "r_nere these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption (t'il; these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying Power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a bQtter light, with a saving of rather more than one-third." CERTIFICATE. POLYTECHNIC CHEMICAL SCHOOL.—" In testing Clark, Mc Niell, and Co,'s Universe iGa.s Burner with one of the best shawdowless turners, it gave a more pure and brilliant light, with a saving of 20 to 25 per cent." GEORGE CRISP, Engineer, BORT. LONGBOTTOM, Secretary, ERTIFICATE. In a series of experimen t s made upon Clark, Mc Niell, and Co.'s Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta blished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a Saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners, N.. 4, 45 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe rior to any other burner." T. W. KEATES, Consulting Chemist, J. D. 'PALMER, Mechanical Inspector.

The object of this Company is to construct a direct an 4 continuous line of railway, on the narrow gauge, from Cheltenham, through Northleach, Burford, and Whitey, to Oxford, and thence, by Theme, to form a junction with the. London and Birmingham Railway, i, once opening the shortest rAtte front those towns and the surround ing districts to the metrokolis, and by mean* of the Oxford and Illetchley, and other lines in connexion therewith, to Bedford, Cam , bridga,Norwich, and the n hole of the eastern side of the kingdom. The turertaking is promoted by parties locally interested in the district through which the line will pass, in conjunction with the Shareholders in the Oxford, Watley, Chelteuhain. anal Gloucester independent Company, who introduced a Bill into Parliament during the session which has just closed for making the line between Oxford and Cheltenham, which failed upon technical objections cull , . It will he the anxious desire of the Committee to consult the wishes of the inhabitants as to the terminus and mode of approaching the town of Cheltenham, • A large proportion of the capital will be subscribed by the London and North-Western Raihray tompany, who have also agreed to lease the line in perpetuity, at a rein equal to four and a half per cent. upon the outlay, with an equal. ivicioe surplus profits. This line will reduce the distance between Cheltenham and London to 10G•miles, being a saving of twenty-two miles as compared with the present route, and the distance between Oxford and London will be shorter than by the Great Western Railway, without taking into account the saving in time arising from the more convenient position of the l,ndon Terminus at Euston-square as compared with Pad ti tgrtOpt i which, to s considered parties g . nearly oingtotheC e it g y ua a l u t d . mostten miles par of rail ra th il e w a ia so y ltieraevirelel,!lg will ,leii by means of flits line between tchoietennittcsaliiioan Po t of London and those of Gloucester, and there is no doubt (X 11.

This description of grass land is unlikely to be affected by any chap -e as to Corn-laws or Tariffs, and the property therefore presents, with its peculiar and great local ad vantages, an iedismitably fine and choice property for the invest ment of money, with a most enjoyable domain for resl,le. , ce, b ing in a perfectly rural distrint, and in the centre of several packs of hounds. A station on the Buckinghamshire Railway will be very near. The property may be viewed by application to Mr. King', surveyor, Winslow, of whom particulars may be had ; also of Messrs. Walker and Gridley, solicitors, 5, Southampton-street; of Messrs. Kerslake and Crealock, solicitors, Carlton Chambers, Regent-street; and every inform , ion obtained of Messrs.

G. WILSON. DREADFUL SUICIDE. On Fri ay moriting great excitement prevailed in London-road, Liverpool, and its neighbourhood, in con sequence of a baker named Chalt,n, carrying on a most extensive trade, committed suicide. The de ceased was a man of- most intemperate habits, to which this fatal catastrophe may be soltsly attributed, as it does not appear that he was at all involved in his circum ,tauces. or afflicted with any of those fitful fancies which are the frequent?cause of mental aberration. An inquest wils held lu,Sore the borough coroner and a most respectable jury, yesterday forenoon, when the wife of the unhaia,ty man gave the following evidence:— Elizabeth ChaVon said ths , "deceased was 55 years of age. Abut four o'clotAz.yesterday afternoon he went up stairs to_lAtihto intOxicated. Between ten and eleven 6'eloCkrivent up stairs to gO-16Wed: He was then asleep, but while I was undressing he awoke and wanted something to drink. I fetched him half a glass of brandy, which he drank, and I then got into bed. I soon fell asleep, and did not awake until about five o'clock, when I perceived the deceased kneel ing on the foot of the bed, with his arm around„; the bed post. I l oo k e d a t hi m f or some t i me, but at length, not perceiving him stir, I arose, and then I found he was hanging by a handkerchief which was fastened to the bed. post near the mattress. I gave an alarm, and Edward Peers, a boy who sleeps in the house, called a man who was at work, who came and cut deceased down. lie was quite dead. He had been drinking very hard for the last four months, and during that time had hardly evur been sober. Ido not know that he was at all em barrassed in his circumstanc9s. Edward Veers, the nephew of the deceased, saw his uncle ab,iut an hour after he went to bed on the previous aftern'on. He then seemed very queer, and witness asked if he should fetch a doctor. The deceased replied in the negative, and ordered the lad to fetch him two shillings-worth of brandy, which he refused to do. It appeared from the evidence of the man who cut the deceased down, that. his death was effected in the most determined manner, by strangulation, and not by hang ing, as very little of the weight of the body rested upon the neck. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity, caused by excessive drinking."— Liverpo .1 Mail. LAVA V SHARE MARKETS, MANCTIESFER, SEPTEMBER 19.

According to the custom, orations were delivered by the senior scholars yesterday, in the Great Hall.

Ile national ar.them having been sung. Matter M. Laing mounted the rostrum, and delivered the first oration in Latin on the benefits of the Royal Hospitals. This was followed by an oration in English on the same subject by Master Thomas S. Pole hampton, and another in Greek by Master 'l'. J. Poker. A very animated oration on this theme in French also was delivered by Master Edward A. Newton. Master Edward Hayman recited some Latin Alcaics on " Godfrey, the leader of the Cru saders, addressing Jerusalem." A translation, in Greek !Ambles, of Prince Henry's apology and the King's reply', from Shakspere's " Henry the north" by Master J. W. Daniels succeeded ; after which Master D. Charles W. Thompson recited a poem on Egypt. The following orations were then delivered, viz., translation in Latin hexameters of Milton's " Morn • ing Hymn," by Master C. 1).

Hammond; 'English ode on the pictures of her Majesty and Prince Albert, in the hall, by Master W. A. Russell. Most of the orations were creditable, and calculated to sustain the high character of the hospital for sound classical education. Some of the rythmical productions were remarkable for melody, nervousness, and pure Latinity. After the orations had been concluded, the usual col lection, in aid or the scholar,:, was made. Th e nat i ona l anthem was again sung, wnich terminated the pro ceedings. WINDSOR, SUNDAY EYENIN G. -- YeSterday evening another train of the royal carriages was brought down by the Great Western Railway from London to Slough, where a number cf the Queen's horses and grooms were waiting to take them to the royal stables at the Castle.

There is now no doubt whatever, that on Tuesday next her Majesty and the Court will return to Wiodst,r, for orders have been given for the royal car riages to be in waiting at Brooruhall Hut, midway be tween the Farnborough station of the South-Western Rail vv;zy and Windsor Castle, to meet the roy a l p ar ty o n their return from the Isle of Wight. Royal High ness the Duchess cf Kent had a small di nner party on having previou s ly rode out with the Spaeth and Lady Ann a Al arm D awson i n S B a a t r u o r n i e l a s y s e d v e e ni ti the Great Park. PUBLIC DINNER IN CORK TO MR. SERGEANT MURPHY. Oa Thursday evening the friends and admirers of Mr. Sergeant Murphy entertained him at a magnificent din ner at the Imperial lintel, with a view to testify their esteem and admiration of the high abilities of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, as also to /mark their strong approbation of the admirable and Oki , - ut manner in which he had, during the period of his representation of the city of Cork, conducted the mercantile and other important interests committed to his trust. All reeks, all ',lasses, all creeds, all parties were represented ; and mingled together in unity and Lartneny were to be, seen the ultra Tory, the uneoinpromising repeeler, the honest Whig, and the unflinching Radical ; no jetty diff:rence existed ; no narrow distinction was suffered to inter pose. At seven o'clock precisely the . company sat down to dinner. Francis B. Beamish, Esq , presided. The vice-presidents were—Andrew Spearing, J.P., Thomas H. Hewitt, John H. Burke, and Julius Besnard. Among the letters of apology was me from Lard John Mariners, now travelling in the south of Irelend, After the usual loyal toasts had been duly honoured, 'The CHAIRMAN rose and, after some prefatory ob servations, said—Gentlemen, we are here not as a political party.—(Hear.) It is to me highly gratifying to find so many of my fhllow citizens, entertaining as they do, ho nestly and sincerely, their different political and religious opinions, assembled in this room to pay a well-merited compliment to a distinguished fellow citizen. He came amongst us here not as a political man; he has been one, and, whilst so, no one doubts that he acted the character , of an upright man.—(Hear, hear.) It may be permitted to me to state that I had the high gratification of pro posing our distinguished guest as a representative for his native city in the year 1841, and whilst I did so I proposed him because I felt a confidence in the man ; and though parties supposed, in consequence of his hay ing passed a great many years on the other side of the channel, that the national feeling which ought to belong to an Irishmen was altogether lost sight Of, the result proved that my anticipations were correct, that my ex pectations were fulfilled.—(llear. hear) Gentlemen, he was returned for your city, he filled the position of re• presentative for four years.—(Hear, hear.) I will not allude to any political matters ; he has ceased to be your representative, but during the period that he filled that position I will venture to say there is no man in the community who will assert that he was an inefficient member—(Hear, hear)—and whilst he supported the political views which he professed at his elevation, he never lost sight of the position he filled when once ele vated—that he was one of the representatives of the city of Cork, and that his duty was to attend to the wants and interests of a commercial community, without refer ence to party politics.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, his voice, as a party man, of course he gave with the party whom he supported ; but in his duty as a repre sentative he never lost sight of the interests of those whom he was bound to protect—the great commer cial body of your city.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, we never ought to forget the services of such a man, and I cannot help believing, for I am rather railway inclined, that there le a feeling abroad at present that such a re presentative, distinct from mere party politics, would be looked to be the united voice of the people of Cork, and that we should not be upbraided with the taunt that, because a representative voted for this party or that, we deprived him of his position; but when we find a man of real and substantial merit, he should be continued in that capacity; and that we yet may hope to see Sergeant Murphy filling the proud position he once occupied. —(This anticipation was responded to with enthusiasm which no words can express, every gentleman present exerting his voice to the best of his ability to testily his approval of the chairman's aspiration.) Gentlemen, I will/now give you " our distinguished townsman, Fran cis Stack Murphy—we feel proud of his talents and suc cess—we are grateful for his services while representing our commercial community, and we hail his arrival in Cork as affording an opportunity of tendering to him our acknowledgments and certifying our respect and es teem."—(This toast was received with expressions of the most ardent and unanimous enthusiasm, each one pre sent disregarding the narrow prejudices of party poli ties, and the petty trammels of sectarian feeling, and vieing to do honour to the distinguished object of their attention in the most emphatic and gratifying manner. It was truly such an occasion as has been seldom, per haps never, witnessed, and which will not be readily ob literated from the memory of those who bad the pleasure of participating iu its proceedings.) Air, " lloth net a meeting like this make amends."— (The appropriateness of this air elicited the laughter of the company.) Mr. Sergeant MURPHY then rose, and the acclamations with which his name was received were renewed, and, if possible, increased with tenfoli vigour. The bursts of cheering were loud. prolonged, and continuous; and for at least ten minutes there was no cessation of the enthu siastic demonstration of feeling that hailed the rising of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. When at length order had been finally restored, Mr. Sergeant Murphy proceeded to speak as follows:—Mr. Bearnisit and Gen tlemen, it would indeed be affectation in me, accustomed as I have been by the usages of the profession to which I have the honour to belone, as well as the Parlia mentary position which, by your fevieir, I enjoyed, to say for one moment that I should bring myself to plead guilty, under ordinary circumstances, to any feeling of embarrassment in addressing an ordinary assemblage. But, sir, I do feel that I am under the influence of extra ordinary circumstances; and I do feel that this is an extraordinary assembly. Gentlemen, it is my duty, as it is also my inclination, on the present occasion to avoid all topics that might for a moment interfere to interrupt this, which I will denominate, a night dedicated to con cord and harmony, and as one selected for the purpose of paying to me a distinguished compliment.— (Hear, hear.) Such is my intention; but it would be an ill return if I did not, as it were, in a sort of common feeling with you all, recapitulate to you the years that have passed since I had the honour to know you; the feelings I entertained, the sensations I experienced, and make you, in fact, part and parcel of the elevation I have derived from your favour, and show you the impulses that agitated my mind when I rendered you with efficiency my services.— (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, mine was a peculiar position. My esteemed and excellent friend, our chairman, has alluded to it; and I wilt not disguise from you, for I hope it is no disgrace to an individual in my present position to state that long, long antecedent to the period when you honoured me with the distinguished and eleeated position of your representative, these matters of ambition had crossed my youthful mind, with the belief—perhaps an idle and dreamy one—that some day I would have the honour of representing you; and, gentlemen, lam now proud to feel that the realisation of that which then seemed but a dream has ere now been accomplished.— (Hear, hear, and cheers). I felt, gentlemen, when I had selected another land for the pursuit of my professional duties, I tied in some measure estranged myself from the circumstances that might lead to such a distinguished honour had I remained amongst you; but though I felt. so, I also felt that I had ties at home that bound me in separably to you; and that I could draw upon the un. tarnished mez its of others besides my own, paltry as they were—(No, no)—as an earnest of the sincerity of one who was otherwise unknown to you.—(Cheers.) I be lieved, as far as I was concerned, I could appeal to asso ciates amongst you, without reference to polities Or sects, and I considered that however wayward ray path I could still trust to the pledge of true hearts ; and I ain proud to say that I met and received that ple lge in a moment of, what I may term, ambitious presumption.— (" No, no," and cheers.) When I heard of the retirement of my excellent and esteemed friend, our chairman, I was attending to my professional duties on circuit, in Liverpool, I. immediately tendered my services. —(Hear.) I felt the course I was about adopting would involve me in deep and serious controversy ; but I had the sanction of my own feelings, which, however insufficient my abilities, told me my heart was in the right place, and also that my intentions were honest.--(Gaud cheers.) I came amongst you, and I must confess I was received with much more welcome and cordiality than I had an ticipated.—(Renewed cheers.) I was vouched for, and sincerity and rectitude guaranteed, not, I must say, from my own merits, but by the integrity of those who had lived long amongst you, and whose mer it s were known, I am proud to say, and also appreciated by you —(Cheers) —and I went to represent your interests in the Legislature with a deeper sense of obligation on me than if I had been one long known and highly trusted by reason of long and faithful services. —(Cheers.) I am aware that with regard to your mercantile concerns I was ignorant ; but I also knew that I had ever, by a mere request, an overflowing fund of information in your intelligence and capability, and freely and generously it war tendered to me.—(Hear.) I have been spoken of by my excellent friend in relation tat another state of cir cumstances in connexion withmyself, that is with regard to the position I hold elsewhere—in England.—(flear.) As I said before, I knew it was a venturous thing to leave my own country with a view to labour for the acquirement of a station which I subsequently attained. —(Hear, hear.) Sir, I can only say this, when I left my country I left it impressed—thoroughly and deeply impressed—(Hear, hear)— with the strong and warm feeling that has ever actuated, and I hope ever shall continue to actuate me, that I possessed a pride of country—(Loud cheers) --and with me it was a leading principle of my resolve and determination never to dis grace by any possibility the country I was leaving for another.—(Renewed and prolonged cheering.) Sir, I believe I had to encounter strong prejudices—but, at the same time, prejudices not incapable of being overcome.— (Hear, hear.) I felt, sir, that I had to come in contact with persons less sensitive than my own countrymen ; but yet I relied on my culture here.—(Hear, hear.) I believed that good breeding and good manners to the extent of a man's position were also favourable qualities. —(Heer, hear.) I believed that a fair and hor.est exhi bition of any ability was a quality which in that coun try (England) would not be ov er l oo k e d i f honestly ex ercised—(Hear, hear)—and, finally, I believed there was there presented to me a guerdon of approbation and reward for the perseverance and assiduity which I should exercise.—(Hear, and cheers.) But if I hold a position in that country—which indeed it would be affectation in me to deny—(Hear, and cbeering)—to whet do I owe e it but to the suffrages of my fellow-citizens, which enabled me to enter that arena, which is the only one, after all, from which distinction can spring? Yes, to those suf frages that placed me in the station which I occupied, often one of antagonism with men of great distinction, of ability and power, of min d anti intellect, such as might well rebuke the overweening vanity of competition, un less the individual who waged it was thoroughly imbued with the conviction that such competition was both use. f f r a i l e a n n a d , li f A o r r:or 3 reaabaish, l l e.— (Hoar, and cheers.) My esteemed has already said. as I have also already stated, and will abide by. namely, that we are not met for a political purpose.—(Cheers.) It will there fore be my duty to avoid all allusion to polities of any sect or kind —(flear ) Bat there is one great and grand paint on which every m , n can meet his f.-Ilow-man without reference to sect or p .rty, namely, the ground of oar common country.—(ll , ar, hAar, and cheers.) We meet here no doubt imbued with feelings of an opposite nature ; for while it is to me a source of }tortoni and fAeasure, it is also a source of d.ep pain and sorrow to think that at a moment when such a distinguished com pliment is being-paid me that I should come amongst you at a time when our country is affording such an un precedented spectacle of misery as at the present she presents. But if I feel that, I have presented to my mind an equally great consolation ; because I have a belief in that which has been already stated by our ex cellent chairman, that it is our lot to have the affairs of this country administered by a resident nobleman, an Irishman of practical information and honest intentions; a nobleman whose wishes and views are conscientiously employed to do all in his power to ameliorate the con • dition of the people.—(Hear, and cheers.) And I equally believe, whatever we may think here in Ireland to the contrary, that Ireland has aroused the attention not only of England. but of all le.urope, and that it is itnpossibleshe can fail to call for nn interposition from England that must have the effect of remedying her wants and distresses.—(Hear, hear.) There are some things in the circumstances of the present times which, I verily believe, will have the effect that necesdty ever imposes ; things that will teach the people ; will give them a greater reliance on self-aependence ; will teach them to look to that as a surer means from whence to dedve sustenance and support, and in the language of the toast, cause good to come of evil, by exciting them to pursue a course of indus trious occupation, which in the end will prove a blessing, teough emanating from the present awful and disastrous visitation.—(Hear, hear.) It does often happen that the brightest dawn will fellow the darkest night; and out of the misery which I now lament, as well as all in common do, I trust that such benefit will succeed as will bring together in friendly in tercourse and communication all classes of men, and teach them to combine and unite all creeds and classes for the purposes of general and unbiassed benevolence.— (Hear, and cheers.) I cannot suppose . that such is an improbable conclusion to arrive at when I find here, even in my own humble person, that there are occasions that can combine men of all creeds, and classes, and parties.—(Loud cheering.) I know also if there be one cause beyond another which can give unity of sentiment to my fellow -countrymen, it is the cause of charity and benevolence, with the sustentation of the miserable and distressed.—(Renewed and prolonged cheering.) Gen tlemen, if this be a dark picture, yet there are many matters that give me the intensest consolation as to future prospects.---(Hear, hear.) I have watched the feelings of the country, in which, I may say, I have been naturalised. I have seen the transitions of public opinion in that country; and instead of a contemptuous allusion to this country at present, there is a strong and powerful feeling in the minds of all classes and parties, and they are now beginning to see and believe that the only true way to make England prosperous is to make Ireland prosperous also.—(Cheering.) I believe that conviction to be so thoroughly impressed on the minds of all states men, no matter what their politics, that in future, instead of considering Ireland their greatest difficulty, as placed in political ant Tonism with both contending sections, they will look to it, and regard it as the knitting bond of unity between men of all creeds, claises, and parties.— (Hear, and loud cheers.) Think what Ireland would be if that were effected.—(Hear, hear.) The cry or fa. mine in Ireland last year was what got up the tocsin's sound of free trade in England—(Hear, and cheera)— and that awful visitation of Providence justified the en actment of free-trade principles, as also crowned the efforts of that great an d w i se Minister who had con ducted them to their final acconsplishment.—(Vociferous cheering lasted several minute:, mingled with cries of Peel, Peel "). The misfortune of Ireland ought to carry this lesson to the people of England of reciprocal kindness; for, by the visitation on the food of one country the people of the other were enabled to do that, which, under any other circumstances. they could not have readily effected.—(Hear, hear.) Owing to the condition of Ireland, a free commerce has been established that cannot fail to be the basis of great and enduring pros perity in both countries.—(Hear.) And I am delighted to see that in the present day we live in times when, thank God, the intelligence of the middle classes is not alone repesented, but it is the very nucleus and main spring from which have emanated those who not only give laws to England, but who further in France unite all mercantile interests to hearken to the lectures of free trade and unshackled commerce such as have rung throughout E-tgland.—(Cheers, and cries of" Cobden.") All this had been effected by the middle classes, and, therefore, it was the bounden duty of England, when hailing the great victory of free trade, lately achieved, to ask herself if anything save the providential visitation on this country, could have induced all sects and parties, to have supported and acknowledged the great principle of free commerce as the basis of the prosperity of the kingdom ? Let her ask that, and the conclusion she should arrive at was, that the visitation on the Irish staple crop had precipi tated the result.—(Hear, hear.) All this had arisen from our misfortunes; and though that consequence has followed, I do believe it will be for the good of the entire empire; and that is another reason why we should re joice that the darkness of the hour is passing over us.— (Hear, and cheers.) And, allow me to say, I can fore see the regeneration of this country, and I do believe that here, and united as we are and combined with England's prosperity, she will and must come forward to our assistance.—(Cheers.) There are many other matters which occur to my mind that are matters of aongratulation to us. I will avoid all political topics, but it is not political of mo to say I feel that there is a greater amount of nationality amongst you now than when I last had the honour to be amenaet you.—(Cheers.) I have been delighted to perceive that there has been a national literature which has not only struggled into ex istence, but arrived'at a culminating point amongst you. —(Holar, and cheers.) In England you have been looked to with a feeling of interest because of the talent of your works; and you also have shown the fruits of the impulses of your genius in the manufacturing line; for now the clank of the hammer of the iron ship builder rings en your coast, as will be mentioned in a subsequent toast--(Hear, and loud cheering)—which was not the ease when I was last amongst )ou.—(Hear, hear.) In the matter of Icon ship-building—a most im portant element, by the way, of commerce —you are taking a rivalry with England, and claiming by your competition her acknowledgment of your ability. —(Loud cheers.) I have seen matters of yours that have done you honour since I was here last; and it is delighting to me, and I know you will participate with me in the feeling, when I inform you that, as regards the profession to which I h rve the honour to belong, a tewnsman of yours, the son of Dr. Willis, has been lately by the most competent authorities admitted to be the first man at the English bar.—(Loud cheers.) I have seen in the person of a gentleman who has suc ceeded me in the representation of your city that which has also been vouched to me by the highest and greatest authority in the land, that it was not alone the publicly expressed opinion of the late great Premier, but his ad mission also within the circle of private friendship and intercourse, that your representative, Mr. M.Carthy, made the most distinguished opening speech which that great man, Sir Robert Peel, had recollected to have heard for a term of thirty-five years within the walls of St. Stephen's Chapel.—(Renewed cheering.) I have seen, and I have known that these distinctions belong to your city, and that they are esteemed and cherished by your brethren at the other side, by men whose abili ties, I will say, it would not alone be an honour to emu late, but a very difficult matter indeed to attempt to rival—(Hear, hear.) I have seen the tone of the press of the sister kingdom changed; I have seen an extracted respect paid to yourselves and to your efforts in every way, whether in the walks of genius or mechanism ; and, believe me, I was proud to see such promise given to an earnest elevation and exaltation of the char,lcter of the people of Ireland.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) I am, I repeat, delighted to believe that everything that has been done in this country, without respect to political influence, has emitted from that germ of nascent spirit of which as an Irishman I must ever feel deeply proud.—(Cheers.) All these have been matters of consideration that have crowded on my mind, as also matters of consideration to me as an Irishman when separated from you, and which, I will confess, have nerved me in my efforts in pursuit of my professional avocations; for I reflected that, with such brilliant ex ampler as had been set me by my countrymen, I at least should not prove recreant to such high and exalted teaching—(Great cheering)—and I was therefore de• termined to uphold the honour and dignity of my coun try in my own person.—(Renewed cheering, that lasted several minutes.) These, gentlemen, have been matters of strife with me in my own mind; and, gentlemen, if I have succeeded in overcoming them, how amply have I been repaid, and how large is the recompense I am now receiving at your hands!--(Cheers.) If, in the language of the song which accompanied the toast of my name, it was asked, " Doth not a meeting like this make amends?" I say in reply, there are no amends to be made to me.—(" Yes, yes,' and cheering.) I think there exists no reason why amends should be made; and I think I hold too high a position in your best and kindest feelings to think for a moment that amends were neces sary.—(Hear, hear, and renewed cheering.) But, gentle • men, if they were to be made, where, I ask, is the me e d of approbation which any public man has ever received more distinguished—shall I say more sincere and heart felt—than the present?—(lmmense cheering.) It is not alone " my youth's early friends" by whom I see myself surrounded, but by men whom, in the humility of my earlier youth, I was taught to honour and respect; by. let me say,• the thousand and one faces that I how see looking upon me with the recognition and recollection of friendship and esteem, and many of whom, though op posed to me in political feeling, I have ever felt. proud and happy within the varied intercourse of life and ac quaintance.—(Bear, hear, and loud cheers.) It is such recollections as these that make we happy, and teach me what r IzOPe rarer to s foliget—leamely, - that in an intellie gent community, composed--of - elements however chequered, of politics however various, and creeds, how ever disc =rdant—(f/ear, hear)—there is one gnat type, one unmistakeabl e f eature of unity, that is an hi;nest reverence for independence of character in a public man. , —(Tremendous and prolonged bursts ofcheering e -which were several times repeated:) Believe me, .Gentlemen, it was no small sacrifice on my pert to relinquish the honour of being your representative ; and many reasons could have suggested to my mind why--I should" have continued as your representative.--(Bear, hear.) I might, if my vanity and ambition were so strong, have remained in the representation of your city, and trusted to the chapter of accidents—(A laugh)—and relied on the. belief that you et least would not have turned me out after all.—(Deafening cries of " - Hear, hear," mingled with the most enthusiastic bursts of cheering, hich were peolonge I for several minutes.) But still, Gentlemen, I felt 'gals rntrl—that it was the beundea duty of aerepreseutative to act in harmony with those whom he represented; and allow me ale, toadel that the stern necessity of my position in , ineel me moreo.er to retire ; as I I know you /ppy to heat', Gentle men, that th.tt neces,,ity has not b e.l suffered to go unrequited.—(flear, hear, loud cheers.) My Hon. Friend, Mr. Bewnish, has epolien of me us one who, since my retirement, has been willing to act fur your benefit ; but, inked, I should be very churlish were I unwilling to do ste—(Elear, hear.) I can 'tell you most honestly, that inasmuch as it was by your t'svout I was elected to a position calculated to be ser viceable to you, I a ill not now, nor at any other time, prove so ungrateful as to rJuse to lend my humble §er vices when you require them.—(Loud cheers.) My Hon. Friend, the chairman, has shadowed out a chance, which not deny my ambition is strong enough to avti cipate —namely, that at some future p,riod I shall look to again representing your irt,‘re.ts in the imperial Le- Llislature. (Here the company rose en muse, and poured forth for several minutes the most deafening bursts of aceNmation.) Yes, gentletm n, a time may arrive when, after exhibiting an honest industry in my profession, with a view to secure an independence, I shall come forward to reap the reward of these straggles, and per haps be once more placed in a position to achieve all that is expected of me —(Tnercesed and prolonged ac clamations, which were continued with deafeeing effect for several minutes.) But, at the same time, I beg to state di , tinctly that I disciairn the introdtrtion of poli tical matters into this meeti=ng, - because I feel I am not here tor a political purpose; and Ida not, therefrire, wish that any expressions of mine should be tortured into an intention to interfere with the claims of any other gentleman (Hear, hear.). I say this enrich, I am anxious 'that is my own person, as on the present occasion, them should be exhibited to the people amongst whom I live that there is a prob:.biity that a man may conciliate the good ~p inion of all parties— (Cheers)—that he may be eff,ctive for the ri-presenta don of a great city, because he has conciliated these opinions, and be ti , eftil to his c tistituente in represent ing their interests at home, while, at the same time, he can be effsetivieabroad, because he hinge that concen tration of feeling and opinion to give his position weight and effect,—(Hear, hear, and cheering.) All these matters, gentlemen, are present to my mind, not in the visionary way in which they pre sented themselves to my then immatured and in experienced understareling as when first I ambitioned the honour of representing you, but with matured and ripened experience, Ana. as I mentioned •in the outset of this case, when expressing my em• barrassment at appearing here, surrounded as I roe by you all; and whose kindness as well as the uff , ctionate manner in which you have received me, is the hest re cumpense and reply to any distrust or doubt that I might have previously entertained of your affection and sin cerity.—(Loud cheers.) But, gentlemen, I shall now turn from the subject of myself to one that will enable me to speak more largely on the merits of its subject, a gentleman who had an earlier claim on your kindness than that which I enjoyed —(Heat., hear.) It is not be cause Mr. Besmish has lavished terms of encomium - on me that I shall do so in his regard. I need hardly tell you that his merits, intrinsically, are too well known and recognised from the effieient way in which he discharged the duty of his high situetion as your representative and my predecessor, to require that I should endeavour to add to them; and they are also not 'alone personal, but hereditary in the family of which he is a thstin guished member and ornament.—(Hear, and loud cheers.) In conelusien then, I call upeti 3ou to drink in a high and overflowing bumper the health, long life, and happiness of our est. - clued and beloved chairman, Francis Bernard Beamish. The toaot was drunk with the most enthusiastic and deafening acclamation; nine times nine and one cheer more. The CHAIRMAN responded to the sentiment. The CHAIRMAN gave the next toa.t, " The Mayor and CJrporation of Cork," trid alluded to the improvemonts which that body has effect 4 d—the erection of markets and the commencement of a park for the recreation of the citiz,ns. The MAYOR rose to return thanks, and was most eon. dially greeti•d. Tfle - CIIAIMIAN introduced the next ton t, 6 ' The committee of merchants of Cork, and prosperity t-i its general trade." - Mr. JAMES Muitrui . replied t I the toast. The CHAIRMAN next gave " The shipping trade of Cork." The CHAIRMAN proposed a few toasts connected with the commercial pro,perity of Cork, after which the com pany retired.—Ahriti,t ed from the Cork Examiner. fHE HARVEST IN THE NORTH OF SCOT LAND. The crops of the northern counties will be all cut this week, great part being a!ready secured. Scitne fields prove lighter than was expected, owing to the mildew, in conseqeenca of which they did not lid after the 10th of August, when the potatoes failed. The crop generally, however, will be an average one, as it is very large and well harvested. On high iands and near the shores the grain is excellent. Some oats nave been de livered even in Caithness weighing 4 9 1135. Mildew is rife in th e t urn i p fields, and a few i nstauces o f partial failure have occurred. These, however, ai - e trifling ex ceptions to the general excellence of the crop. We are happy to observe that the fears entertained regarding the turnip crop in Aberdeenshire is not likely to be realised. The Aberdeen Herald of Saturday reports, from extensive information, that " there at-0 more tubers damaged than in ordinary years, but this, it is thought, may be futy accounted for by the unusual mildness of the season ; and the loss, if there be any, will, it is ex pected, be compensated by the productiveness of the crop generally." With respect to the potato crop, the disease here appears to be stationary. Tne stare of the crop in Ross-shire will be seen from the report of the county meeting, in another column, and from the excel lent resolutions pa , sed at the same meeting. The pro prietors and farmers of Ross-shire do not intend relying on Government assistance, but by their own exertions and sacrific,Js hope to work out their extrication from impending evils. The hints thrown out at this meeting are well worthy of consideration. A correspondent writes:—" There is yet no appear ance of herrings in Lochca,rron ; the potatoes have completely withered away, end the people are beginning to suffer th pangs of hunger. Unless the Legislature interferes to alleviate the awful calamity, deaths from starvation will, to a morel certainty, ensue. On the lands of Attadale alone there are twelve helpless wi dows, with fifty d-atitnte orphans, who subsisted en tirely on potatoes ; and in the parish of Loehearron there are scarcely less than 2.000 individuals almost similarly situated. In .b.-ivitown the effects of the failure are also severely fit, and the people beOn to be in want." With reference to the potato failure, the following instructions have been given by the factor on a High land estate on the west coast, who hag already. as a commencement, forwarded some thousand plants of what r greens to be planted by the tenants:— " Considering that, from present appearances, po tatoes 'cannot be calculated on as a crop for 1847, t h e following is recommended as a substitute, calculated to afford some partial relief--by no means equal to potatoes, but unquestionakly fit to afford great aid and relief, at an early and very critical period of the year. It is conceived that, in case of scarcity of food, all descriptions of hail can be used in families With very great advantage, with a little meal, &c., with or without bread, and if some butcher -meat could be added, so much the better ; if not, people are not free of blame who shall not have fish. Every aid is of importance to a family in a time of scarcity ; and it is evident the people must use their utmost endeavours to prepare for the impending danger of scar city of food. It is, therefore, recommended—without reference to any aid from Government or local exertions, for whatever aid may be afford4d from those sources, it is quite necessary that the people should look mainly to their own resources and exertions : " Ist, That each family on the estate shall inclose a piece of land, for the purpose of reusing cabbages, greens, Treks, and garden turnips ; and, for convenience and safety, the tenants of < itch farm shall inclose one or more fields as one inclosure, to be subdivided among them, but where this is nut suitable sepirate inclosures shall be made—it being under,tood that the factor on the estate shall give some timber to aid in making the inclosures. "2d. That the inclosures shall be made immediately ; and, as soon as completed, the land should be trenched, at least fourteen inches deep; and manured with firm manure and sea-ware, and allowed to remain in that state until spring, care being taken that the land is pro perly drained, and open drains or furrows made to carry off the surface water. " 3d. That such as get the land prepared in time, shall immediately plant not less than 200 green plants, or winter kail, which can be planted to the end of Sep tember, or in the spring.
