Saved ! To be had at the Patentees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross. The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, fhe advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the lint at fabric. Objections have made to the Introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ; these are entirely obviated by the " PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is com monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir JOHN RaNNIE, President, in the Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal nevelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was heat ed, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the pert phery, and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very ptrf.,.ct combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third." POLYTECHNIC CHEMICAL ScnooL.—" In testing Clark, Mc Niell, and Co.'s Universa iGas 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, ROST. LONGBOTTOM, Secretary, " In a series of experiments 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, Nn. 4, 48 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. . .

Mr. Heron took the chair. The object of the meeting was tor forfeiting a number of shares on which the last call remained unpaid. After some discussion it was agreed unanimously that all shares on which the last call of 10s. remained unpaid should not be forfeited till the end of October. In con sequence of some of the Cornish shareholders having disapproved of this meeting, a resolution in its favour was passed unanimously, so as to justify the directors in their proceedings. As regards the mine, the ch a i rman sa id they had diminished the extent of the workings in the northern part, which had reduced ,the expenditure from 80b1. or 9001 to 400/. or 5001. From the last report it would appear that they had about 9,0001. worth of cop per ore in prospect. The prospects of the tin lodes were also favourable. A shareholder observed that this was the most favourable news they had received for the last four years. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting adjourned. Mr. Thomas Score, of Okeford-Fitzpaine, Dorset, has, in consequence of the failure of the potato crop, with his usual liberality, again reduced the rent of his land one-third, for the benefit of his poor tenants. It is sincerely to be hoped that every wealthy landowner will follow so praiseworthy an exam ple.—Salisbury Journal.

PARIS ACADEMY OF -SCIENCES SIFTING OF SEPT. 14. A communication was received from Mr. Morse, giv ing an account of the extent of the telegraphic lines already established in the United States of America. It is as follows:— Miles. Alba" v to Buffalo 350 York to Boston 220 Ditto • to Albany 150 Ditto • to Washington 230 Washington to •P,alhimore 40 Baltimere to Philadelphia 97 Philadelphia to New York .. 88 New York to Newhaven • 84 Newhaven to Hartford 30 Hartford to Springfield 20 Springfield to Boston 98 Albany to Rochester 252 Mr. Morse states in his letter that the electric tele graph is now the chief mode of transmitting all the news of the Government and the important correspondence of merchants, and of the public generally. Its influence has, he says, been already felt by the press. The journals of the large towns, which were taken in the. -ountry on account of their giving the most recent news, have lost a great number of their subscribers, whilst there has been a very large increase in the circulation of the journals of the small towns near the extreme points of the electric telegraphs. The extent of the lines of electric telegraphs in France is •very small, as compared with the account given by Mr. Morse, and from the very slow progress made by the comtnittee on telegraphs appointed by the Government, and at the head of which is M. Arago, a long time must elapse before we reach here the total given by that gentleman. We have not heard that the committee has as yet sent any report on the various systems of telegraphic communication, particularly those of Mr. Morse and Mr. Bain, of Edinburgh, which have been submitted to it. It is quite time, however, that the report should be made, and that whatever is good in each should be adopted, and the nuthors handsomely remunerated, instead of resorting to the unworthy pla giarism which is said to have been recommended, and which would almost amount to piracy. An important question in chemistry has been raised by a communication from M. Malagutti. By a decision of the Marine Department, the manufacturers of sail cloth for the navy are bound to bleach their cloths with alkalies, and without the use of chlorine, and to stiffn them with gum arabic, and without starch. The mode of testing the cloth delivered for the use of the navy is to put a drop of the tincture of iodine on it, and if it turns blue the cloth is refused. M. Malagutti proves that in certain cloths, although only gum arabic should have been used, the blue colour may result from the test, as the starch used in the preparation of the thread is some times left in by an imperfict process of bleaching. A paper from M. Jobard was received on the Chinese system of boring wells by means of a rope instead of metallic rods. He states that M. Goublet Collet has adopted this system with the best results in Champagne, and that the cost is only 3£ per foot, without any in crease according to depth. The whole of the apparatus costs only 500f. M. Biot, in his own name, and in those of Messrs. Babinet and Pouillet, read a very favourable report on an apparatus constructed by M. Rumkorff to facilitate the exhibition of the optical phenomena produced by transparent bodies when they are placed between the opposite poles of a magnet of great power. M. Velpeau presented, in the name of M. C. Sedillot, of Strasburgh, a summary of a work on cancerous affec tions. The object of M. Sedillot is to show the advan tage that may be derived from the use of the microscope in the examination of tumours supposed to be cancerous. He is of opinion, however, that the diagnostic of a great number of tumours is now sufficiently established with out the use of the microscope. A letter was received from M. Forster, giving an ac count of his having discovered, on the night of the 13th, a meteor, leaving the constellation Cygnus, and taking a westerly direction. It left a train, which was visible only for one second. FRANCE, ENGLAND and ,SPAIN. (From El Espectedor.) What a surprising contrast is formed by the conduct which England has observed towards us in these latter times, in comparison with that simultaneously observed by France ! It would lead to nothing merely to examine at this moment if the difference with which we are about to acquaint ourselves, only proves the greater skilful ness of the English policy ; or if, in reality, it de pends on the circumstance that there is, in this same policy, a certain foundation of morality which obliges her to respect onr nationality and independence. It suffices us to Fay that this difference exists, and that Great Britain succeeds, by her manner of proceeding, in attracting as many sympathies amongst us as the di pl-macy of Louis Philippe alienates by its mode of acting. We are doing nothing more than exposing a fact that is palpable to all of us, and it would even be indecorous to seek in the conduct of England, which so highly favours us, the motive of self-interest which may have actuated that country. In spite of this, we shall not deny that selfishness m ty partly insti g ate the modus operandi of the, policy pursued on the banks of the Themes ; but if every one who received a benefit—be it a man or a p.ople—strove to discover the intention and the motive of self-convenience which animated the bene factor, the word " gratitude" could not have been in vented, and assuredly the dictionary would not contain another so utterly superfluous. Supposing that England and France, in their acts, exclusively consult their own private convenience, we shall inevitably he forced to admit that the interests of England are not found in hostility to our own, and that those of France are ; and through selfishness also, we declare ourselves the friends of the former, and the enemies of the latter. What matters it to us that when France does us an injury she may not do it in order to prejudice us, but only to favour herself ? It is equally certain that she does prejudice us. What matters it to us that when England renders us a benefit she may do it in order not to prejudice herself, and not for the sake of favouring us? It is equally certain that she does favour us, and this is what we require : we look to results, and care nothing for anything else. We know not if France, through the medium of-her own private convenience, could give us an explanation of all the acts which constitute her policy towards us, but it is positive that these acts are atrocious, and that they render her odious to the hearts of all Spaniards who are not Afrancesados. We know not whether, through the medium of her own private convenience, she could hit upon an explanation of the ferocious treaty of which the Spanish Liberals are the vic tims, who, ejected from their country for political causes, have the misfortune to seek an asylum in her bosom. We know not in what point it can suit our generous ally to compel these poor proscribed wretches to pass from one point of her territories to the other on the slightest requisition from a vindictive consul, or in what point it can suit her to confine the unhappy victims to districts where it is impossible for them to find an honourable means of subsistence, or in what it can suit her to make them walk leagues and leagues with chains around their necks, naked and bare-footed. We could cite many similar acts, and if France commits them in the consultation of her con venience, we, consulting our own, ought to entreat Almighty God to divest Franco of all her conveniences. Her conveniences and ours are diame trically opposed to each other. In the year 1823 it suited her to invade our soil with an armed force, to wrest from us our liberty, and to leave the Liberals in the clutches of absolutism. At a subsequent period it suited her convenience, when war began to blaze in the provinces, to add fuel to its flames ; and she finally ad ministered a narcotic to the whole of her police, in order that Don Carlos might cross the French frontier without being seen. It afterwards suited her to overthrow Espartern, and now it appears that it suits her conveni ence to marry the Duke de Montpensier ,to the Infanta, after it had suited her to marry the Queen to Montemo lin, to Trapani, or to whomsoever else it did not suit our convenience that she should be married Fortunately, Providence has ordered for some years that whatever suits us should also suit England. It suited this powerful nation, as well during the "Liberal" emigration of 1823 as during that of 1843, to conciliate the affection of the emigrants neither more nor less than it suited France to gain their hatred. Thanks to this, the political outcasts who at these two distinct periods had the good fortune to gain the shore of England, met on those shores with abundant sympathies, which greatly alleviated their condition. It suited England, as well as ourselves, that the cause of Don Carlos should succumb, and her valiant soldiers participated more than once in the dangers and glories of our own. It suited England that the regency of Espartero should issue victorious from the blow which destroyed it in the year 1843, and Espartero would not have fallen had England paid as little respect as France to the inde pendence of our nation. In all these capital points the interest of Spain and England was synonomous, and hers as well as ours was opposed to that of Fance. To England it is owing that, on the marriage question, none of the candidates which the instinct of Spain has re pelled has trinmphed until now. It is rumoured that even now she is opposed to the Montpensier match, al though in this the will of that nation is equivalent to our own. If this match does not take place, it will be because the men of the present situation will not have been able to conquer the repugnance of England. We know these men, and we know well enough how little their acts are influenced by the will of their country. But what matters it that if Louis Philippe's marriage scheme is not realised, it is owing to the influence of a foreign nation? Spain will not be the less con tented. What matters it that in thwarting this match England may only propose to herself to weaken or hinder the strengthening of the fatal influences which make of our country a mere French colony ? It suits us to expel these influences • we ought not to perc e i ve th a t i t may squally suit England to expel them. When the will of a country is not respected, we ought to desire that those who are at its head may see themselves compelled ta re spect the will i,f another country which is comformable with that of our own. From an authority, on which we can entirely rely, we are enabled to state that T. W. Bramston, intends to retire from the representation of the county, whenever a dissolution of the present Parliament may take place.—Chelmsford Chronicle. PUBLIC DINNER IN CORK TO MR. SERGEANT MURPHY. On Thursday evening the friends and admirers of Mr. Sergeant Murphy entertained him at a magnificent din ner at the Imperial Hotel. with a view to testify their esteem and admiration of the high abilities of the IIon. and Learned Gentleman, as also to mark their strong approbation of the admirable and etliciPnt manner in which he hail, during the period of his representation of the city of Cork, conducted the mercantile and other important interests committed to his trust. All ranks, all classes, all creeds, all parties were represented ; and mingled together in unity and barmony were to be seen the ultra Tory, the uncompromising repealer, the honest Whig, and the unflinching Radical ; no petty difference 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 acre--Andrew Snearinw, J.P.. Thomas IL Ilewitt, John R. Burke, and Julius Besnard. Among the letters of apology was )ne from Lord John Manners, now travelling in the south of Ireland. After the usual loyal toasts had been duly honoured, The CHAIRMAN rose and, after some prefstdry ob servations, said—Gentlemen, we are here not as apolitical party.—(lIe t ar.) It is to me highly gratifying to find so many of my fellow citizens, entertaining as they do, ho nestly and sincerely, their different political and religious opinians, 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 hav ing passed a great many years on the other side of the channel, that the national feeling which ought to belong to an Irishman was altogether lost sight of, the result proved that my, anticipations were correct, that my ex pectations were fulfilled.—(Hear. 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 is a feeling abroad at present that such a re presentative, distinct from mere party politics, would be looked to by the united voice of the people o f 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 testify 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 acknosledgments 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 tics, 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 had the pleasure of participating in its proceedings.) Air, " Doth not 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. Beamieh 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 belong, as well as the Parlia mentary position which, by your favour, 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 nor, 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. efy esteemed and excellent friend, our chairman has a lluded to it; and I will not di sgu i se f rom y ou , for Ihope 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, I am 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 had 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 met 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 politics or s ec t s , and I considered that however wayward my path I could still trust to the pledge of true hearts ; and I am proud to say that I met and received that pledge 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 abil.ties, told me my heart was in the right place, and also that my intentions were honest.—(Loud 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 my 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 merits 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 was tendered to me.—(Hear.) I have been spoken of by my excellent friend in relation to another state of cir cumstances in connexion with myself, that is with regard to the position I hold elsewhere—in England.—(Hear.) As I said before, I knew it was a venturous thing to leave my own country with a view to labour for the impressed--thoroughly and deeply acquirement of a station which I sushas3e?qtuheisTlwyhaetotaIinleedft. ever actuated, m a e e t , u a t h te a d t I possessed a pride of S it ir i , m I pr c e a ss n ed til impressed—(Bear, i r7 e s ua s nr e l d ri — lye a ( Ir ie f a t r, hear ) — with the a strongod hope warm ever )—and with me it was a leading country—(Loud feel ing h oo a o l shall continue nit i a L u t o e o h d t to cheers`)—and e r 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 contaet 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. —(Hear, hear.) I believed that a fair and honest exhi ebritciios(neEdn‘'(l—ofale any in a bility was a quality w hi c h i n that coun try (England) wo uld not be overlo o k e d if h onestly ex r, h e a r) —an d, 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, arid cheers.) But if I hold a position and cheering ) — to w h at d o I owe :i t in that country—which indeed it would be affectation in the t which I occupied. butme to t“ deny o — ( Haar , my fellow- c iti zens, wh i ch enabled me r ag t: s enteril from shish distinction can spring? Yes, to those sa f - that placedthrtt a arena, in which is stationhe only one, after all, often one of antagonism with men of great distinction, of ability and power, of mind and 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. ful and honourable.—(Hear, and cheers.) My esteemed friend, Mr. Beamish, 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 politics of any sect or kind —(Hear) Bet there is one great and grand point on which every m in can meet his fi !low-man without reference to sect or party, namely, the ground of our common country.-- e (Hear, hear, and cheers.) We meet here no doubt imbued with feelings of an opposite nature ; for while it is to me a source of honour and pleasure, it is also a source of deep pain and sorrow io think that at a moment when such a distinguished com pliment is being paid me that I ale , old 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 view's 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 Europe, and that it is impossible she can fail to call for an 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 neces,ity ever imposes ; things that will teach the people ; will give them a greater reliance on self-dependence ; will teach them to look to that as a surer means from whence to derive sustenance and support, and will, 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, though emanating from the present awful and disastrous visitation.--(hear, hear.) It d )es 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 prnspects.—(Hear, hear.) I hare 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 cf 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 antagonism with both contending sections, they will look to it, and regard it as the knitting bond of unity between men of all creeds, classes, and parties.— (Hear, and loud cheers.) Think what Ireland would be if that were effected.—(Hear, hear.) The cry of fa mine in Ireland last year was what got up the tocsin's sound of free trade in England—(Hear, and cheers) — and that awful visitation of Providence justified the en actment of free-trade principles, as also crowned the efforts of that great and wise Minister who had cbn ducted them to their final accomplishment.—(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 visitati on on t h e f oo d o f one countr y the peope 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 hare rung throughout England.—(cheers, and cries of" Cobden.") All this had been effected by the tnidd'e classe=, 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.—(Elear e 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 tat 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.) nem are many other matters which occur to my mind that are matters of congratulation to us. I will avoid all political topics, but it is not political of me to say I feet that there is a greater amount of nationality amongst you now than when I last had the honour to be amongst 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. —(Hear, and cheers.) In Englatid you have beeu 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 on your coast, as will be mentioned in a subsequent toast—(Hear, and loud cheering)—which was not the case when I was last amongst you.—(Hear, hear.) In the matter of iron 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 ,ve the honour to belong, a townsman 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 nut 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 character 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 emated 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 amples 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 hare 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, i s th e wee d of approbation which any public man has ever received more distinguished—shall m yhee t,s early friends" saybym ore whom I sincere see an myself d h e art f e lt—than the present?—(Immense cheering.) It i s not surrounded, shoney 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. now 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.—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) It is such recollections as these that make me happy, and teach me what I hope never to forget—namely, that in an intelli gent community, composed of elements however ' chequered, of politics however various, and creeds, how ever disc Tdant—(ffear, hear)—there is one great type, one unmistakeable feature of unity, that is an honest reverence for independence of character in a public man. —(Tremendous and prolonged bursts of cheering, which were several times repeated.) Believe me, Gentlemen, it was no small sacrifice on my part to relinquish the honour of being your repress ntative ; and many reasons could have suggested to my mind why I should have continued as your representative.—(Hear, 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 at least would not have turned me out after all.—(Deafening cries of " Hear, hear," mingled with the most enthusiastic bursts of cheering, which were prolonged for several minutes.) But still, Gentlemen, I felt thus much—that it was the bounden duty of a representative to act in harmony with those whom he represented; and allow me also to add that the stern necessity of my position induced me moreover to retire ; and I know you will be happy to hear, Gentle men, that that necessity has not been suffered to go unrequited.—([Tear, hear, and loud cheers.) My Hon. Friend, Mr. Bea-nish, has spoken of me as one who, since my retirement, has been willing to act for your benefit ; but, imfeed, I should be very churlish were I unwilling to do so.—(Hear, hear.) I can tell you most honestly, that inasmuch as it was by your favour I was elected to a position calculated to be ser viceable to you, I will not now, nor at any other time, prove so ungrateful as to refuse to lend my humble ser vices when you require them.—(Loud cheers.) Hon. Friend, the chairman, has shadowed out a chance, which I will not deny my ambition is strong enough to anti cipate—namely, that at some future period I shall look to again representing your interests in the imperial Le gislature. (Here the company rose en masse, and poured forth for several minutes the most deafening bursts of acclamation.) Yes, gentlemen, 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 struggles, and per haps be once more placed in a position to achieve all that is expected of me.—(Increased and prolonged ac clamations, which were continued with deafening effect for several minutes.) But, at the same time, I beg to state distinctly that I disclaim the introduction of poli tical matters into this meeting, because I feel I am not here for a political purpose; and I do not, therefore, 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 much, I am anxious that in mr own person, as on the present occasion, there should be exhibited to the people amongst whom I live that there is a probability that a man may conciliate the good opinion of all parties— (Cheers)—that he may be effective for the representa tion of a great city, because he has conciliated these opinions, and be useful to his constituents in represent ing their interests at home, while, at the same time, he can be effective abroad, because he brings that concen tration of feeling and opinion to give his position weight and effect.--(Elear, 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 understanding as when first I ambitioned the honour of representing you, but with matured and ripened experience, such as I mentioned in the outset of this case, when expressing my em barrassment at appearing here, surrounded as I am by you all; and whose kindness as well as the affectionate manner in which you have received me, is the best re compense 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 meriteof its subject, a gentleman who had an earlier claim on your kindness than that which I enjoyed --(Hear, hear.) It is not be cause Mr. Beamish has lavished terms of encomium on me that shall do so in his regard. I need hardly tell you that his merits, intrinsically, are too well known and recognised from the efficient way in which he discharged the duty of his high situation 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 distin guished member and ornament.—(Hear, and loud cheers.) In conclusion then, I call upon you to drink in a high and overflowing bumper the health, long life, and happiness of our esteemed and beloved chairman, Francis Bernard Beamish. The toast 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 toast, " The Mayor and Corporation of Cork," and alluded to the improvements which that body has effected—the erection of markets and the commencement of a park for the recreation of the citizens. The MAYOR rose to return thanks, and was most cor dially greeted. The CHAIRMAN introduced the next toa t, '" The committee of merchants of Cork, and prosperity to its general trade." Mr. JAMES MURPHY replied t3 the toast. The CHAIRMAN next gave " The shipping trade of Cork." The CHAIRMAN proposed a few toasts connected with the commercial prosperity of Cork, after which the com pany retired.—Abridged from the Cork Examiner. MANSLAUGHTER BY A POLICEJIAN. NORTHLEACH, SATURDAY.—A great deal of excite ment has prevailed for the last ten days in this neigh bourhood, arising from the death of a young man named Rueben Busby, who was killed on the night of the 7th inst., by James Probert, a constable belonging to the rural police. Information of the circumstance having been commu nicated to Mr. J. Barnett, the county Coroner, a jury assembled at the New Inn, and there being nearly thirty witnesses, the inquiry was continued by adjournment for five days, terminatinc , yesterday afternoon. The police man, who was suspended, and though not in actual cus tody, was under close surveillance, as it was uncertain what might be the issue of the examination, was present, and Mr. Gaisford, solicitor, attended to watch the exa mination on his behalf: Ano ther man named Clifford had also been seriously beaten by the sapie policeman, and was for some days considered to be in a state of great danger. It would be impossible to give the evi dence in detail, but the following were the material facts elicited :— It appears that on the day in question the 7th instant, there had been a rustic feat in the neighbourhood of Lord Dynevor's demesne, which, as usual, was at tended by a large number of the peasantry, both male and female. These gatherings too commonly lead to disturbance, but in this instance nothing of the kind occurred. The ground was cleared at an early hour, and the people proceeded to rega'e themselves at , various places of public entertainment. Amongst the rest, several young men and women repaired to the Fox Inn, at the village of Windrusk, where they were provided with such refreshment as their means afforded. Amongst the company assembled in the par lour were the deceased, Reuben Busby, Clifford, the ether injured man, and two or three others, who were in the habit of working in the same service. The company were made up of detached parties, bat all were orderly and sober. In the course of the evening a strange man, somewhat intoxicated, joined the company, and broke a glass, for which he refused to pay the sum demanded. This led to a partial disturbance, which induced the landlord to send for the police. Sergeant Adams and two of the constables came into the parlour, when one of the latter, Probert, pushed one of the company, an old man, down on the floor. Thjs had the effect of exas perating the company, more especially Clifford, who complained of the unnecessary interference of the police. One of the constables had by that time gone out. Pro bert, however, drew out his truncheon, and, according to the statement of several witnesses, struck right and left, although no one had then committed any breach of the peace. It was preyed that Sergeant Adams remained at the door, never once interfering. Probert continued striking at Clifford until the man was dragged out of the room, when Probert turned upon Reuben Busby, the deceased, who was sitting quietly at the table, and a blow of the truncheon across the crown of the skull laid him bleeding on the floor, and to all appearance dead. The landlord of the house, with several other persons, then interfered, and the deceased was taken out into the air; but as he showed no symptoms of conscious ness, it was deemed necessary to procure medical aid. Mr. Cheatle, surgeon, of Burford, promptly attended, but he saw at once that it was a hopeless case. He found the deceased in a state of collapse, and labouring under depression of the brain. Stimulants were admi nistered, and the other means used in such cases were resorted to without effect. The deceased, who never rallied, expired next morning. On a post mortem exa mination there appeared a contused wound, two inches long, which laid bare the skull from the dura mater to the pia mater. There was no very great extravasation of blood, but the pressure of the skull upon the brain sufficiently accounted for the death of the party. Mr. Cheatle added that he had attended Clifford, the other man, who appeared to have sustained some injury about the head and face, but not of a serious character. The whole of the witnesses were severely cross-exa mined, either by Probert or his solicitor, for the purpose of showing that the police, having been in the first in stance called in by the landlord of the house, were only acting in the performance of their duty, and that th e accused had been compelled to use his staff in self-de fence. The witnesses all concurred in stating that there was no riot, and that no resistance was offered which justified the policeman in using his staff. Mr. Gaisford, the solicitor for the police, pressed this point so pertinaciously, that the coroner was at length compelled to order the officer to remove him from the inquest-rooin. At the close of this protracted investigation, the Co roner went through the evidence, explaining the distinc tions which the law made between murder, manslaughter, and justifiable homicide; and the jury, after a long con saltation, returned a verdict of "ManslaugIcer against James Probert," who has been committed for trial at the assizes. s e., ,... „.... s Te r London-road, o n !: - r e r i e ( o l a f 4 d Y l; L i : v i :e l e ' r f r p ' inonaegml, named c r h its t at r! e ) il e n li l a b7 .

An inquest was held before the borough coroner and a most respectable jury, yesterday forenoon, when the wife of the unhappy man gave the following evidence:— Elizabeth Chalton said the deceased was 55 years of age. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon he went up stairs to bed much intoxicated. Between ten and eleven o'clock I went up stairs to go to bed. He was then asleep, but whil e I was un d ress i ng he a , woke . " and want&d something to drink. I fetched him half ee a glass of brandy, which he drank, and I then get into bed. I soon tell asleep, and did nut urvako Lin' ii .:bout five o'clock, e hen I perceived thb deceased kreel ing on the felt of the - bed, with his arm around :he bed post. I looked at him for some time, but at length, not perceiving him stir, I arose, and then I found he was hanging by a - handkerchief which was fa3tentel 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. He was quite dead. lie had been drinking very lei rd for the last tour -months -a.nd during that time had hardly ever been sober. I do not know that he was at all em barrassed in his circumstances. Edward Peers, the nephew of the deceased, saw his uncle about an hour after he went to bed on the previous afternoon. lie 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 rean 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."— Liverpal Mail. DEATH or Loan YARBOROUGH.—We have re : cell-A, on the best authority, the following additi ona l particulars relative to the death of this lamented Noble- • man. His Lordship sailed in the Ke-trel in the latter part of July to rejoin the squadron at Cork, with the .- full intention of returning to Cowes early in August. It appears 'that Lord Worsley was prevented by a close . • , attendiince to hii Parliamentary duties accompanYing his noble father at that time, and that his Lordship's second son, Captain the flon:Dudley Pelham, who had accompanied him throughout the early part of the season, was summoned away upon business of a most urgent na ture, which also prevented him from accompanying his Lordship at the time of the Kestrel leaving Cowes; but after the arrangement of that business, he in a few days went to Plymouth to rejoin the yacht, but found that she had sailed from Falmouth only a few hours pre vious to his arrival. His Lordship appears to have accompanied the squadron to Lisbon, and it is sup posed was induced, by the fineness of the weather in that genial clime, and by the hope of receiving as much benefit from the cruise as he had usually done, to linger about much longer than he had intended. He • was compelled to take to his bed on the 221 of August, when the Kestrel's course was turned homewards, but owing to a continuation of adverse winds, she had not progressed further than the vicinity of Vigo, when it was found necessary to put in there for the sake of affording ease and quiet to his fast approaching end. His lordship expired without a struggle on the 5th of September, at 4.37 P.m., having to the last moment been attended by the medical gentleman who has for many years, and on all occasions, accompanied his Lordship. The loss of so beloved and respected a nobleman will be most exten sively felt, as the tenants upon his Lordship's vast estates, remote from each other though they be, have each and every one experienced some remarkable in stance of his disinterestedness and warmth of heart. The members of the Royal Yacht Squadron, who owe to his Lordship's judicious and conciliatory measures so much of their present proud position, have testified their great regret at his loss, as well as all the inhabitants of Cowes, by wearing their flags only half-mast high. The Kestrel's arrival with his Lordship's remains may be daily looked for, as she left Vigo Bay for Cowes on the 9th of the present month. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT NEWARK.—A shocking accident occurred at Newark on Wednesday last, by which tie° men have lost their lives, and two others been severely injured. It will be necessary to state, first, that although the Nottingham and Lincoln Rail way has been opened some weeks, the station at Newark is far from being complete; and that fo . r several months past a large number of men haie been employed in cart hag earth from Beacon Hill, in order to raise the site to its proper height. On the morning in question the men were employed as usual, but at eight o'clock the greater part of them had retired to breakfast, four persons only remaining at work. They were undermining for the purpose of more readily filing a cart belonging to J. Hallam, one of the men killed, when a portion of the earth suddenly gave way. Two of them fortunately escaped, one of them being thrown to a considerable distance without sustaining material injury. The other two were buried under the earth, and though one of them was immediately extricated, his neck was broken, and he was consequently quite dead. It was not known at the time that another man was involved in the catastrophe, but finding that one was still missing, the workmen continued their lacours, and with considerable difficulty succeeded in re: overing the other body, but so mutilated that life must hare become extinct in an instant. Dr. Lacy had arrived before the last body was dug out, but of course his assistance was us, less. The names of the deceased were Robert Briggs, of Newark, a single man, and Joseph Hallam, of Bathly, where he kept a small publie-house and grocer's shop ; he was Married, and is reported to have left 11 children. He had only c immenced that morning with his horse and cart to load the earth to the station, and had only tak, u two loads when the fatal a:xident happened. The cart was brokt n to pieces, but the horse was unhurt. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day an inquest was held on the bodies, and a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—From a correspon dent we learn as follows under date the 12th curt.:— Yesterday I had occasion to travel by the railway from Glasgow t) Kilmarnock ; and as there .are few, if any, better managed lines of rapid transit, all went well, as usual, till we got to the Beith station, where the guard informed me, with a tremulous voice, that a woman had been killed within three minutes of the time he received the mournful communication. The circumstances are these. The porter at the station had occasion to cross the rails to shift the signal ; the unfortunate sufferer at this time was sitting on a form in front of the counting house • and scarcely had the man executed his errand, when observed the female under - the engine-wheel, her head dreadfully crushed, and life's vitals protruding. Although the fatal past cannot be recalled, precautions may be adopted as regards the future, implying some thing approaching to pd. ct safety. At the smaller stations persons coming off the ordinary road can cross by the nearest cut to the booking-office, where it is na turally enough expected they will take care to keep themselves out of harm's way. Strangers, however, to rails and locomotives aro apt to become agitated from the novelty of the scene ; and in the case mentioned there can be little doubt that the poor woman, on hearing the engine puffing, had followed the porter, from an er roneous impression of greater safety, and thus unfortu nately lost her life.--:Dumfries Courier. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—We regret to have to record a serious accident which occurred on Tuesday week. It appears that Captain Whitmore, paymaster of- the pen sioners in the Bristol district, and Lieutenant-Maclean, of the recruiting service in this city, were returning from Wells in a gig, when near Pensford the horse took fright, starting off at a furious rate. Captain Whitmore jumped out, and succeeded in alighting on his legs, but the shock was so great that it caused concn , sion of the brain and other injuries, from which his life, we regret to hear, has been in imminent danger. Lieutenant Maclean, with considerable presence of mind, succeeded in climb ing over the splash board of the gig, and, getting on the horse's back, pulled it up. Considerable sympathy is felt for Captain Whitmore, who during his residence at Clifton has attached to himself much public respect.— Bristol Mirror. ARREST ON MESNE PROCESS.—A Bill (which was on Friday printed) was laid on the table of the Howie of Commons at the close t) the late session, and ordered to be printed for consideration during the rece:s, to restore arrest on mesne process in civil actions under etrtain limitations. The Bill was prepared and brought in by Mr. Warburton and Mr. Leader, according to the cus tomary endorsement on such matters; and bythe preamble it is declared that " it has been found, by experience, thet the abolitidn of arrest on mesne process has greatly increased the expense and ditfi:Julty of compelling the payment of debts, and has enabled debtors to continue to resist their creditors until the greater part of their assets has been wasted or concealed, or distributed amongst favoured creditors, and it is expedient to restore the power of arrest on mesne process in civil actions, with proper precautions to prevent such power from being abused.' The evils pointed out by the preamble do exist, and there has been of late a growing disposition among men conversant with the law of debtor and cre ditor that the power of arrest in certain cases should be restored, to prevent the waste of propert obtained by debtors, and to teach them there is such a thing as punishment for their misconduct. By this measure it is proposed that no arrest should take place except by order of the Court of Bankruptcy; that no commissioner is to issue an order unless the creditor first swears fully to the particulars of his demand, nor unless there is a prima facie case of debt due, and of two applications having been made for the same. On the debtor being taken on a writ of capiar, he is to be brought imme diately before the commissioner, with liberty to show cause against the arrest, and the commissioner may either discharge the party or order him to find bail. The party arrested may be discharged on the payment of money into court, or on filing a declaration of insol vency, or a petition as an insolvent debtor. The sug qestions will probably he considered by the Lord Chan cellor, who hes promised to give his attention to the law of bankruptcy and insolvency. Our readers will remember that not long since the intention of the of the French to visit QueenVictoria during the present autumn was announced in the London as well as in the Parisian .journals. We at the time made inquiries into the subject, and found that such was the declared intention of Louis Philippe. We have now, however, to state, that no such visit is to take place ; the idea is altogether abandoned. We speculate not on the causes of this departure from previous arrangements —we state only the fact, leaving it to others to estimate its significan c y a t thi s p ar ti cu lar juncture. We are in debted to a P ar i s corres pondent of high rank for the first intimation of this change of purpose on the part of ' the King of the Frencb.—Observer.
