By order, !if , ONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. J.LA To the Sciipholders and Subscribers to the Deed of the above Company, A Committee of Shareholders in the London and 17frk Railway has been formed, with the view of considering the prospects of this line, and whether anything can be done to lessen the responsibility of the Shareholders, or in any way improve their position. The Committee view with alarm the daily depreciathn which is taking place in the market in the shares of all new lines, and that this depreciation increases in the shares of those Companies which are most likely to obtain Bills. The , expensive contest in Parliament of the London and York Com pany must absorb all the deposits. If the Act be obtained, calls must Immediately follow ; and the insjority of the scripholders will avoid registration, knowing that they will have opportunities hereafter of coining into the undertaking at a much lower price. The calls must, therefore, be enforced against those who have signed the Parlia- Mentary Contract. This fearful position of matters has induced trio Committee to con sider that probably the Eastern Counties Company,'who are the strong opponents of the London and York Company, may, for the sake of Protection and certainty to their own shareholders, be still open to some liberal compromise, and that the London and York directors sad shareholders ought, either by-diminishing the extent of their undertaking (and consequently lessening the amount of calls to re lieve the pressure which will come en their subscribers), or by some apsorption in the Eastern Counties Company, obtain a participation in an undertaking yielding a present profit, instead of one whose re turn, if ever obtained, will not be arrived at without years of painful sacrifices and distre s. With these views, the Committee think steps ought to ba immedi ately taken to open a negotiation with the Eastern Counties, if not to dissolve the London and York Company. In the opinion of the Committee, either the line south of Peter borough ought to be abandoned, and the shares reduced to 201. each, or the line should be given up to the Eastern Counties Company, on their agreeing to pay the whole or a portion of the expenses, and giving shares in their Line as originally proposed. The statement below, showing the past and present position of several well-supported Companies, who, before the Committee of the Rouse of Commons, clearly showed a return on their capital from 6 t ? 8 per cent., proves that success on the part of the London and 1 ork Railway, in obtaining their Bill, will entail ruinous loss on the subscribers and scripholders ; and if any other argument was needed to maintain the views of the Committee, the following extract from the " Times" of the Bth of April, might alone be deemed sufficient : " The character of the crisis, and its effects on the new lines, are graphically illustrated in the catastrophe of the London and Oxford Railway, as reported in yesterday's paper : 'Mir. I. K. Brunel, examined by the Chairman.—The prices have so increased since the Acts were obtained, that the lines mentioned above (the Oxford and Worcester, and the Oxford and Rugby) can not be constructed at the estimated prices. Considers that the con struction of railways is now 50 per cent. more than at this time last Year. ' At this point of the proceedings the Chairman said that :the Committee thought it unnecessary to hear any more evidence re specting the London and Oxtbrd Line ; and, accordingly, after the room had been cleared for a few minutes, the Chairman announced that the Committee were unanimously of opinion that the preamble of the London and Oxford had not been proved.'" The Committee beg to direct the attention of the shareholders to the official announcement of the Government's intention to immedi ately introduce an Act investing the scripholder with such power, that a majority in number and value duly registered at any public Meeting will prevent the further progress of any Bill in Parliament ; and as the London and York Railway Bill will, in a very few days, have to appear before a similar tribunal as thatof the defunct London and Oxford, the Committee are, therefore, very anxious at once to ascertain if the shareholders concurin any of their views, for which Purpose the following printed form may be obtained at the Com mittee-rooms, and every shareholder and subscriber to the deed is earnestly requested to return the same signed immediately, in order that the directors may be conferred with, or a public meeting con vened, as may be deemed most expedient for the protection of the interests of all parties. To the Committee of the London and Yozk Shareholders. Gentlemen,—l am a scripholder of Shares in the London and York Railway, and am desirous, Firstly, of having the Line South of Peterborough given up, so as to lessen the cost ; or. Secondly, of having terms made with the Eastern Counties Company Cu' an abandonment of the London and York Railway and Amalgamation with the Eastern Counties Line; or, Thirdly, of having the C ,mpany at once dissolved. I vroulaTieferl:heo of these alternatives, and I authorise the Committee of Shareholders to represent my opinion to the Legis lature, and to pray Parliament to carry the same Into effect, or to re ject the London and York Bill.

IN HANOVER-STREET. Mr. FAIRS' far-famed MAGAZINE of ART and his FAMILY RESIDENCE adjoining. UR. GEORGE ROBINS respectfully makes 1.Y.1_ known to the Public, and more especially such as ap preciate the CORRECT ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE AND THE FINE ARTS, that he ►ill SELL by AUCTION on the Premises, on TUESDAY NEXT, April 21, at One. o'clock, in consequence of Mr. FAIRS having taken, in conjunction with Mr. Meakin, the extensive premises, No. 139, in New Bond-street, lately, and for half a century, In the occupation of Mr. Turner, Uphol sterer to the Royal Family, with the intention of continuing the art of decorating, with the useful appendage of a thorough know ledge of furnishing houses in various styles suited to the present taste. Mr. it. is instructed to sell the abode in which so much of the deservedly fair fame of Mr. Fairs has been acquired, Ne. 2, IN HANOVER-STREET, HANOVER-SQUARE. To give a lucid description of all its claims to admiration, both in the exterior and the interior, would necessarily occupy too large a space in a public announcement; it is, therefore, suggested that all these inclined to this first-rate situation should go and judge for themselves, when the moderated account that is to be attempted in this little detail will be confirmed. THE ORDER OF ITS ARCHITECTURE IS OF THE EARLY ITALIAN SCHOOL. Its front is very much more imposing than anything contempora neous, and the expense of accomplishing this has necessarily con sumed a large capital : but its prepossessing appearance amply re pays the great outlay incurred, as well as the tact and anxiety, that marked its progress and completion. It may be well, " en passant," to observe that the situation is so pre-eminent that it is adapted to the highest works of art ; indeed, it is fearlessly as serted that both within and without there is nothing to surpass it throughout THE METROPOLIS or ENGLAND ; and yet something in a more humble sphere cannot fail, in a pecu niary view, to be highly beneficial; but ingenuity would be puzzled to discover any pursuit that would bear a comparison with it, and THE MAGAZINE AND SHOW ROOM may easily be rendered worthy competitors with the Show Rooms of the hizhiy-respectable successors to Storr and Mortimer, in Bond street. THE PRIVATE RESIDENCE adjoining is full of taste and comfort, and 13 prodaetive of a large Ileome. It is held for a period of years, subject to a low Annual Rent. It can be ♦iewed, by tickets, and particulars had on the Pre mises ; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, Covent-garden,• with the lithographic drawings attached. NEAR TO USK, IN MONMOUTHSHIRE. A Capital, RESIDENCE, in the Centre of this beauteous County, TWO FARMS on Lease, with excellent Buildings ; altogether 425 ACRES of extraordinary PRODUCTIVE LAND, with a BED of excellent LIMESTONE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is commissioned to OFFER by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on TIIIIIISDAY, the 7th of May, at 12 o'Clock, in One Lot, an exceedingly ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD INVESTMENT, _ _ and one perfectly free from any uncertainty arising from the pro jected alterations in the corn-laws ; combining with a FAMILY RESIDENCE OF CONSIDERABLE PRETENSIONS AND 425 ACRES OF UNCOMMONLY PRODUCTIVE LAND, OF WHICH 350 ACRES ARE ARABLE AND PASTURE, AND 75 ACRES WOODLAND. gently sloping to a beautiful southern aspect, most genial for the im provement of cattle and sheep. f first, it may be well to glance at the situation, and encounter THE ALMOST HERCULEAN TASK OF TRYING TO POURTRAT THE BEAUTIES OF MONMOUTHSHIRE. A panegyric upon THE LOVELY VALE AND RIVER OF USK, WHICH ADJOIN THE ESTATE, " _ would be a work of supererogation to those who have kad the good fortune to sojourn there; those who have not, and would invest in perlect security, while in the enjoyment of a quietude unknown to less-favoured districts, will do well to be on the alert, and do " their possible" to become the possessor of this fine property. - THE WINDING OF THE RIVER WYE In the immediate vicinity, TliE BEAUTEOUS WOODLAND SCENERY, THE NEVER-TIRING COMBINATION OF HILL AND DALE, TIIE RIVER FULL OF SALMON AND TROUT , the verdant pastures, luxuriant orchards end gardens in every di rection, produce an effect not to be appreciated, and in no part of England to be exceeded in beauty. THE RESIDENCE IS ONE OF COMFORT, and was formerly the abode of JOHN OVEREND, ESQ., THE WEALTtIY BANKER, OF LONDON, The situation will be irresistible in provoking a little outlay to complete that which the late possessor so ably projected. Without being too cumbersome or expensive, the Residence combines all that a family of great respectability can desire, kitchen gardens and orchards. Should the purchaser of the Estate desire to reside, and FORM A PLEASURE FARM. there is an abundance of field sports, and lots of fishing ; and the cele brated Llangibby Hounds hunt t ie immediate neighbourhood. A BRANCH OF THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY, now making, is within half a mile. There are Two highly-cultivated Farms, with comfortable abode, which adjoins the residence, and all necessary buildings, two warm and sheltered yards for stock, and a good tenant (Mr. Joseph Neale) at a very inadequate rent for four years yet to come. THE QUALITY OF TIIE SOIL aof ack nowledgedexcellence. Th 3 pastues so rich as to fatten bullocks and sheep f or the London market, r and the land exuberant beyond measure. LI ME AND COAL CLOSE AT lIAND N GREAT ABUNDANCE ; and the market towns approximating, render a sure and advan tageous vent for the produce of the land. CHEPSTOW AND RAGLAND CASTLES are neighbouring auxiliaries, and THE DUKE OF R EAUFORT'S PRINCELY ESTATES SURROUND TIIE PROPERTY The neighbourhood is remarkable for sociabilit) , and the great re spectability of the inhabitants ; in fact, it would be altogether very difficult to discover a single point of objection to a capitalist who would repose in clover. The Tithe and poor-rate very moderate, and the perish church is in the immediate neighbourhood. William Groves, at Pyrks Cottage, will show the Estate, and Particulars had, with plans annexed, of A. Waddington, Esq., Solicitor, Usk ; the Beaufort Arms, :Monmouth ; King's Head, Gloucester; White Lion, Bristol; Messrs.

E Ii'ILLENTIIALL THE 11A.MLETINANWDARI51AINCOKITon}R• A RESIDENCE in the Elizabethan style, and 740 ACR ES of capital MEADOW, PASTURE , AR ABLE and WOOD L ANDS, EXTRA PAROCHIAL, BOUNDED BY TWO RIVERS, and WITHIN TWO MILES of the CITY of COVENTRY, and NINE MILES of LEAMINGTON. • R. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by in • 1 . 4 st . ructions to announce the SALE by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on TingasDAY, the 4th of June, at 12 o'clock, and in one lot, one of THE MOST COMPACT UT AND ELIGIBLEKSHIRE, ESTATES THROUGH- O WARWIC comprehending THE WHOLE HAMLET ANT) THE MANOR OF WILLENHALL, in the county of Warwick, within two short miles of THE CITY OF COVENTRY. This freehold property is ALL EXEMPT FROM TITHES, with Rates very small, and one-half compromised by a payment from the London and Birmingham Railway Company. It extends to SEVEN HUNDRED AND FORTY ACRES OF PASTURE, ARABLE, AND WOOD LANDS ; the quality is first-rate, and it Is all in the highest state of cultiva tion. There is A VILLA ORNEE, IN THE STYLE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH, commanding extensive and beautiful views, beside a second abode adapted to facilitate the wishes of a sporting mats. There are Gardens and Pleasure Grounds ; the tenantry are highly respectable, and tHEAR IT ALL THOSE WHO INCLINE TO BE DISSATIS FIED WITH LANDED INVESTMENT) THERE IS NOT NOR HAS THERE BEEN AN ARREAR OF A GUINEA DURING TEN YEARS. There is beside a compactness to this property which commends it to the term WITHIN A RING FENCE. THE RIVERS AVON AND SOWE form the south and north boundaries, with lots of fishing ; and a sporting man will find all the auxiliaries his heart can desire, the adjoining manors being strictly preserved by LORD CRAVEN AND THE BAGINTON AND BRANDON PROPERTY, The Farm Ilonsas and all the agricultural buildings are in first-rate condition, and cannot require a shilling to be expended in any way. The high Holyhead and London mail daily traverses through the hamlet, and the railway has shortened the time to London to less than three hours. THE CITY OF COVENTRY, close at hand, is a feature of too much importance to be overlooked ; but as the advantages seem to follow in such quick succession, Mr. Robins will desist from prolonging this announcement until he has made his survey —only observing the present very low rental exceeds FIF TEEN HUNDRED POU NDS A YEAR, A N D THE PROPERTY IS ALL EXTRA-PAROCHIAL. By way of conclusion, it affords the writer very great satisfaction to join in and express a very concurrent opinion, and one that has be come manifest now-a-days, that THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT, a fact which a very.few months will demonstrate beyond the P os s l " Nifty of misapprehension. Particulars will be ready In due time ; In the meanwhile auy fur ther informatiea may be had of Mr. Paine, solicitor, 4, Furnivals lan; and at Mr. George Robins's Oftlats, London, 1W ORDER OF THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS OF THE ADMIRALTY.

The Provisional Directors of this Company having observed in some of the public papers a statement to the effect that this undertaking was on the point of being abandoned, and that meetings were about to be held to effect that object, they therefore take the earliest opportunity of intbrming their Shareholders that such statements are wholly in correct, and that the meetings referred to are called without their knowledge or sanction. The Directors beg to add that their con fidence in the success of the project is unabated, and that in addition to the local support which it has always possessed, satisfactory arrangements have also been concluded with a powerful existing Company. The Directors have, however, to inform the Shareholders that it is their intention, immediately on the passing of any Bill through Parliament relative to Railway projects, that will legally enable the Directors and Shareholders to adopt a definite course of procedure, to convene a Meeting of the Shareholders, when they will be prepared to submit to them a report of the present state of the undertaking, and to take their instructions as to future proceed ing. The Directors have only inrther to add, that the Bill for this Line has already been read a second time in the House of Commons, and now stands refereed to the Committee on the merits, through which it is expected to pass unopposed.

At a meeting of the inhabitants of the township of Otley, held the 13th day of April, 1846, for the purpose of considering which of the intended lines of railway projected in the Valley of the Wharf. would prove of the greatest advantage to that district ; PETER GARNETT, Esq., in the Chair ; Moved by WILLIAM ACEIOYD, Esq., and seconded by i'onsi SPENCE. Esq., and Resolved unanimously—That in the opinion of this meeting the interest of the inhabitants of the town of Otley and the neighbour hood thereof will be greatly promoted by railway communication ; that the entire want of canal or railway communication hitherto has been seriously felt by the inhabitants in the enhanced price of all articles brought into the district, from the great expense of transit, whilst, from the same cause, the value of its produce has been con siderably deteriorated. Moved by CHEISTOPIIER JACKSON, Esq., seconded by Wirmast Feta• BANK, Esq., iind Resolved unanimously—Thai in the opinion of this meeting the wants of the dlittrict will be best supplied by the proposed Lancashire and Yorkshire North-Eastern Railway • that the line selected for it through this vicinity is the best calculated to serve the interest of the public, with the least annoyance or inconvenience to landowners through whose property it is intended to pass. Moved by J. AL BARIIATT, Esq., seconded by THOMAS CONSTABLE, Esq., and Resolved unanimously—That for the reasons stated in the fore going resolutions, and feeling confidence in the highly respectable body of Directors, generally speaking landowners, or parties locally interested in this district, this meeting pledge themselves to do all in their power to support the Lancashire and Yorkshire Worth-Eastern Railvray, and to promote the passing into a law the Bill now before Parliament to authorise the construction of it. (Signed) PETER GARNETT, Chairman. The chair being vacated, an unanimous vote of thanks was passed to flu! Chairman for his able and impartial conduct in the chair. LIVERPOOL, MANCHESTER, AND NEW CASTLE-UPON-TYNE JUNCTION RAILWAY. TO THE SHAREHOLDERS. Having seen the advertisement of a " Shareholder" in the pa pers, suggesting that, in consequence of this Company having amai gamaded with " The Lancashire and North Yorkshire Railway," and the line of the latter Company being adopted, this scheme should be abandoned, rued the deposits returned, as both capitals could. not be required to make the line, I, as another shareholder, should like to add a remark which will strengthen the above sug gestion. In October last it was currently reported, and I have ascertained it to he a fact, that the Lancashire and North Yorkshire had amalga mated with the Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding Junction Railway, whose line from Elslack to Preston was to be adopted, and would form the route from Newcastle to Liverpool, Preston, &c. In this state of things, it appears to me that no object could be gained by prosecuting our line further, as its objects will be fully ob tained by the two Companies above mentioned, and our Company appears to have no line left. An immediate meeting of the Company appears absolutely neces sary, in order to ascertain what good result could be gained from fur ther procedure, and whether the interests of the Shareholders would not be better consulted by an immediate dissolution of the Company.

IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, APRIL 13.—1 n consequence of the return from London of the principal repeal Members the pro ceedings at Conciliation Hall to-day were advertised to be of more than ordinary importance. The " hall" was crowded to suffocation—numbers having left despairing of obtaining even standing room. At one o'clock the Lord Mayor, in full corporate attire, and attended by his officers, upon the motion of Mr. O'Connell, took the chair. His LORDSHIP said he considered that the honour conferred on him was one of no ordinary character, as it was a time when they were threatened with a Coercion Bill, or rather, he should say, the suspension of the con stitution.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He was happy to say that he had very little apprehension about this horrible Bill passing, for they had no less than thirty five patriotic Members of Parliament working under that great and good man Mr. O'Connell, in opposition to it, who was in himself sufficient to prevent its passing.— (Hear ' Ise ar.) " Separation" was also a cry in the mouths of the enemies of Ireland; but they never wanted separation or anything but justice, and he be lieved that whilst the Liberator lived—and it should be the prayer of every man that his life should be prolonged until at least repeal was obtained—there would not be separation ; for he believed in his heart that Ireland would fall back 300 years if ho was lost to her sons.— (Hear, hear.) With the blessing of God, his precious life would be protracted until justice was obtained, and nothing was justice but repeal.—(Load cheers.) Mr. RAY having read the minutes of last week's pro ceedings, Mr. O'Comenee handed in several sums of money, the subscriptions of himself, and relatives and friends, after which, Mr. J. M. M‘Domeeee, the newly-elected Member for the county Mayo, rose and addressed the meeting. Mr. O'CONNELL said he supposed his friends ex. pected that he would make a speech, and if they did they would not be disappointed, as he had, in fact, come from England solely for that purpose—for the purpose of having his voice echoed in the Irish Na tional Hall, and sent through the land—through the entire nation, which was awaiting the crisis of affairs (Hear)—at that moment with an anxious eye.—(Cheers). They had arrived at a period of extraordinary and anti cipatory results for either good or evil ; he (Mr. O'Con nell) trusted for good.—(Hear.) He came to tell the Irish people to be peaceable and tranquil—he came not to check or control the public spirit—he came not to suggest the insinuations of a desponding spirit, for he knew of no despair ; as long as the people were true to themselves so long their country was in a fair way of success. As long as the people were peaceable and quiet, justice should be done—for 8,000,000 people never asked for relief in vain. —(Cheers.) "Peace and perseverance," and failure was impossible. If the peo ple were but true, Irishmen should succeed. — (Great applause.) Having m a d e these preliminary ob servations, the first topi c w hi ch presente d it se lf to his mind was the state of th e country as to f am i ne an d dis ease. There was great difference of opinion on this sub ject, which was the subject, above all others, of vital importance. It was the subject which induced him to go to London, in order to work, by some means or other, a remedy, so as to prevent his fellow-country men from dying on the roadsides by starvation • to save them from a visitation whi c h , h e hope d, wa s but short and transitory ; for he was confident that the all powerful Being who watched over Ireland and all the world would not let a faithful people continue to suffer beyond their capacity for endurance. He (Mr. O'Con nell) brought them before the House ; he showed the spreading nature of the calamity, and he met a response in almost every quarter. He found a ready compliance with his wishes from the Government itself. He gave Sir R. Peel credit, and he was willing to allow him the merit he deserved; he gave the Government credit for their endeavour:; to relieve Ireland at the present crisis. —(Hear, hear.) He was convinced if Sir R. Peel had succeeded as he ought, more efficient relief would already have been given. The famine would have been already anticipated and prevented; but while he gave the Govern. ment credit for sincerity in their design in this respect, he did not consider that they had done all they ought to have done; but they had done much, and what they had done would have been more valuable, but for the mode in which it was administered in this country. He did not like Lord Heytesbury ; he was a most unfit man to be in this country at that moment. He disliked bins for his tediousness in giving to the people of Ireland the re lief afforded by the Government.—(Hear.) He believed he would rather issue an ultimatum than a bag of meal —(Hear, and laughter.) Nothing but relief, permanent and immediate, would save Ireland, but let not the people be guilty of any violence whatever in this period of famine; nothing could be more absurd than the practice of stopping the transit of provisions.—(Hear.) Let the people meet and raise their voice too loud to be misconceived or neglected at the Castle, and if not lis tened to there, let them apply at St. James's—(Hear, hear)—let them send a memorial to the Ministry, and let them petition the Queen to remove Lord Heytes bury, and to send over a man that will work out what the Ministry intended for the relief of Ireland.— (Cheers.) The next thing ho had to call the attention of the meeting to was the Coercion Bill.—(Groans and hisses.) It deserved to be groaned at. It was exceed ingly criminal in its nature. Oaly let them think of the idea of any Government to make this a perpetual law. He exclaimed against it.—(Cheers.) Ho de nounced it as a permanent law in the newspapers. The Go vernment said nothing; but yet they removed the perma nent clause, and made it only to endure for a year. But he did not want it for a year—(Cheers)—and he de spised the wretch who consented to endure it for a day, or even an hour—to be a slave to any law of that kind. —(Loud cheers.) There was never anything so totally ' mistaken as this Coercion Bill. The fact was, crimes been were committed, they all knew ; and they were shocked at the assassinations and murders that were perpe in the accents trated.—(Hear, hear.) There was no justifying them. Heaven forbid that any man should be found to jus tify them. Man h as no right to the blood of his fellow-man, and he who did so raised the red arm of committed, God's vengeance over him, and brought on himself the punishment of man and the eternal vengeance of God of— ( horrorH e, ar , h a e t ar t ) h — e h h i e eh sp i c i ) a k de and whilst he denounced them as outrages against everything human and divine, he did not forget that there were murderers that went unpunished. _ hear)—but murders whil s w t hear.) He alluded to the clearance system —(Hear, —the turning out of the naked, the unfed, and unclothed poo r Ire land.—(Hear, hear, and hisses.) Oh, h e did not knowof Ire what materials they were composed wh o Could ee accounts in the newspapers without being _ e read those d heart such a state of misery—thelittle deprcessed in wailing in their mother's arms, an saying don't you take us home 2" Oh, tha d t home W " Why trated around them, and the wretched mothearss phros no homy for their beloved child ren but thaveier shelterless arms. Oh, they were monsters who could rejoice at such a scene. He trusted that England was beginning to understand the true s t ate of Ireland —(Cheers.) Lord Devon's Committee had put its true condition on record, and had made a strongs sion on the House of Comm ons.—(Che ers.) now I o ' n that impression would last he (Mr . O'Connell) knew not, but while he repeated t he words of Lord Devon,- and when he found in the words of that Con n i s ,i on _ that the people of Ireland were badly housed, clothed, and fed, he would raise his voice in their behalf.—(cheers.) Their sufferings were more than those of any other nation in the civilized worlds - They had b een Bill, hitherto su ccessful against the Coercion and the Mi n i sters had been unable to succeed in the first reading._.. (Hear, and cheers.) Just let them observe sow the Coercion Bill was brought into the House of Com mons from the House of Lords. The H ouse of Com mons, with few exceptions, agreed in the impropriety Bill, to • • of introducing such a . inflict coercion Ireland, instead of • • on the people ofgiving them b re ad.—(Cheers.) They were offering them a stone in lieu of bread, and for a fish they gave them a serpent.— (Hear, hear.) They would not , h owever, receive th em in the language of the serpent ; but if it was true, as he ~~~ ce—( ~ _/ e 4-- • f ✓- ,__,/ /74t4..4 ~ : 1 0:„,, , ,, , , 7, ~,,,,u2: l-7 . : - - -„ ,,,, -,:ii:.-4, . i..;. . _,,,,...,... t . . p,,. • . - ' ~,-*c-- 1 - 7 - ,. ,-,. ~%..)„.,:, ~..,...,,- - 7."

Wh: n he came t o th e C ommons, what was the fist step he found standing He g ordersota majority ri that ty H Nell, was what did t h ? e Minister By the do of the House, which he always had at hand, to trample on the standing orders--(Hisses)—in the same manner as everything in favour of Ireland is trampled on (Groans and hisses) —and what had he done then ? •It was the habit of the English Parliament to give the Easter season a vacation from the Good Friday to the Monday week after Easter-day. Well, he (Sir-Ro bert Peel) had decided on shortening that period by three days. He had trampled on the old practice, and forced them to go back at the end of a week, instead of eleven days, which was the usual period. —(Renewed hisses.) Let them mark well what the Prime Minister was doing for England ; he would, how ever, do Mai credit for anything he did which deserved it : he thought he had acted nobly as regarded the Corn Bill.—(Hear, hear.) He had then a majority of 90 in the House, and as long as he chose to be an enemy to Ireland he was safe in acting as such. If he chose to have continued in the minority at that crisis, he could have done so. Ho (Mr. O'Connell) was not his friend, and they had him ranged amongst his political foes. He had behaved nobly in that and in other respects—(Hear, hear)—but he would divide with him on every question, and he would still tell him that he felt a heart-felt gratitude towards him for what he had done in behalf of the people of Ireland.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Peel was doing what would give food and employment for England; but what was he doing for Ireland? He was giving her a,Coereloaß, Bill—(Hear)--in fact, the two Bills for the two coun tries were struggling against one another, and clash ing; inasmuch as he had fixed a day for the Corn Bill, which interrupted the progress of the Irish measure until the month of June, when, with the blessing of God, it would be successfully opposed.—(" Hear," and cheers.) If they had an Irish Parliament, would any other people be comparable with the Irish?—would a Coercion Bill be necessary?—would a Coercion Bill be passed when people were starving? Certainly not. (Hear, hear.) The measure of the Minister reminded him (Mr. O'Connell) of a story of a friend of his, who had two sons, one of whom he loved, and the other of whom, the best of the two, he cared little about.—(Hear, hear.) This lad, to revenge himself, used to sing a song, and the chorus ran thus : " White bread for Kit, Brown bread for Mat." (Cheers and laughter)—which put him very much in mind of Sir Robert Peel, who wanted to starve and im prison the Irish at the expense of the English.—(Hear, hear.) However, he would take care that the Irish should also get a white loaf —(" Hear, hear," and cheers.) He (Mr. O'Connell) wished to appeal to the Irish people on another subject—the subject of assassi nation, and particularly to the case of Mr. Carrick, of the county Clare.—(Hear, hear.) He had lately alluded to this horrible murder in the House of Commons, and referred to some particulars he had heard concerning it, which had drawn forth a letter from Mr. Creagh, of Great Charles-street, in contradiction of some of his assertions. Now he wished to state that he put forward no fault against Mr. Carrick, upon his own authority, but merely read a statement from a Clare newspaper, and he had nothing to say for its accuracy ; in fact, he said nothing from his own knowledge, and he never there or elsewhere attempted to paliate the awful crime of murder under any circumstance; although, if he thought proper, he could refer to at least twenty letters which fully bore it out.—(Loud cheers.) He had also been attacked by Mr. Ryan—" his faithful friend "—but he would say nothing about him.—(" Hear," and laughter.) No landlord crime could palliate assassination ; and if he had any influence with the people of Ireland—and he believed he had—he would appeal to every miscreant murderer in the country (and he was sure there were but few such characters) to abstain from crime. —(Hear.) He would warn every honest man in the country against illegal societies and secret oaths, for no one should belong to a secret assembly—as nothing secret was ever good—and secrecy was always a forerunner of crime. —(Loud cheers.) Before the emancipation, he (Mr. O'Connell) preached against those bodies, and said they were the only obstacles to his obtain ing justice for Roman Catholics ; and he then believed the Ribbon Society, and other such societies, were the chief obstacles in the way of repeal.—(Hear, hear.) The Learned Gentleman concluded by again calling on the people of Ireland to be peaceable, assuring them that the Coercion Bill before Parliament would never pass, and that he hoped and believed he would live to see the Parliament yet sitting in College-green. Messrs. Maher, John O'Connell, Grattan O'Brien, havinc , addressed the meeting, at five o'clock, the rent for the' week was announced to be 2001., and the assembly adjourned to next Monday, a vote of thanks having been previously passed to the Lord Mayor for presiding ~i THE PROGRESS OF STEAM NAVIGATION, The following is an extract from a ncently-issued and massive Blue-Book (of some 1,500 pages!) on the Commercial Tariffs and Regulations, &c., of the United States of America, compiled and arranged by Mr. J. Mac gregor:— When we reflect upon the wonderfully increased inter course between the United Kingdom and the United States—and when we estimate the comparatively speak ing limitation of the distance, by calculating the time required now with that occupied formerly, in passing to and fro between both countries—it would be rash and hazardous to give an absolute opinion on the future elements, rapidity and extension of navigable power. It was but late in the world's history, when a Dutch ship performed the voyage, by leaving Rotterdam or Am sterdam in the spring of one year, sailing only during the day, and furling her sails and laying-to during the night; and on reaching New York, then called New Amsterdam, this ship was discharged, unrigged, and laid up for the winter. On the following spring, this ship was rigged, her condition examined and repaired, then laden with wood, fish, or furs, and then made her home ward voyage during the summer, as slowly as her out ward voyage was performed the preceding year. The voyage was afterwards performed out and home the same year. English ships then made two voyages during the year; and, growing bolder, three voyages to and from America were made annually by the same ship. Those splendid vessels, the Liverpool and New York line of sailing-packets, were then established, and the intercourse between Europe and America astonished the world. Steam ships were now seemingly about sup planting theie sailing-ships, at least in the carriage of passengers. The space between the old and new world ceases to be calculated by miles and leagues; days and hours measure the distance. Liverpool and Halifax are brought within ten days, and Liverpool and Boston within twelve days of each other. It is by means of this powerful agency—of this rapid, mighty, and certain intercourse, that all possible good may be extended from, or all possible evil inflicted by, one country to, or upon, the other. The era of the suc cessful establishment of steam navigation has been the roost important to trade, intercourse, and, consequently, of extending knowledge and civilisation, that has occurred since the discovery of America, and, since the first voyage was accomplished by sea from Europe to India. Knowledge and civilisation have advanced or retro graded, according to the extent to which the intercourse between individuals and nations has been rendered either easy, quick, and frequent— or difficult. tardy, and of rare occurrence. That means, which shall bring nations, and kindred, and people into the nearest social inter course, will be the sure and irresistible power destined to civilise the universe; by the facility with which intelli gence, and consequently instruction, will be conveyed, by sea and by land, over every part of the world, and by the rapidity and ease with which individuals of one na tion may be made acqulinted with those of all others. Steam-vessels now ply along the coasts of Africa, in the Chinese seas, and along the shores and rivers of New Holland. The steam-ships now employed between London and Scotland are of enormous power and magnitude. So are those which run between the Mersey and Clyde, and be tween the two lager rivers and the several ports of Ire land, The fleet of the General Steam Navigation Company maintains a constant intercourse with the ports of France, Holland, and Germany, as well as in the coasting trade of the British channel. The states of continental Europe are also advancing in the acquisition of steam power. France, Austria, and Russia are the foremost in the number of their steam ships. Austria excels all the states of the continent in merchant steam-ships. France and Russia in steam• ships of war. The Italian states, especially Naples and Tuscany, possess several well-built and well-navigated steam-ships. Prussia and Holland, on the Rhine, con tribute greatly to the facility of intercourse. Belgium has made attempts, at great expensr., to establish a trans atlantic line of steam-packets. The attempt has fail( d. The Hanse Towns, Denmark, and Sweden, also possess steam-ships, but only on a comparatively small scale. Greece and Turkey are far behind other countries in the possession of steam-vessels. The Greeks were their country and commerce in a flourishing condition, would, no doubt, manage steam ships as ably as they certainly have their sailing vessels. The Turks have been clumsy mariners, and their few steam-vessels are wretchedly managed. Of all Orientalists, the ruler of Egypt has made an extraordinary advance in the acquisition of powerful steam-ships. In 1814, there was but one steam-boat belonging to the British empire. During thirty years the number has increased to about 1,000 British steam-boats, which are now navigating all parts of the world. In 1846, the British Government employs a magnifi cent fleet of steam-ships, managed by, and belonging to, a private association, which sail, semi-monthly for eight, and monthly for four, months in the year, be tween Liverpool, Halifax, and Boston. From Boston, the great means of intercourse, by steam-boats and rail roads, diverges to all parts of North America—extend ing to the furthermost of the great lakes, and up and down the navigable rivers, flowing from the Rocky Mountains. Iron is made to swim, in the form of a ship (the Great Britain) exceeding 3,600 tons burden, impelled forward from Liverpool to New York, against the currents, raging storms, and seas of the Atlantic, by an invisible power, moved by the resistless force of fire causing the expansion of water. Another splendid fleet of steam-ships, belonging ulso to a private company, are employed by the Govern ment to maintain a monthly intercourse between the United Kingdom, by Southampton, and all the islands of the West Indies and the states of Mexico and South America. A third and mighty fleet, belong to a great company, and employed by the Government, sails monthly from Southampton to the European Peninsula, and by way of Gibraltar to Malta and Alexandria, with a branch to the Levant and Constantinople. The same company conveys the Government mails and passengers by three of the most powerful steam-ships in the world, from Suez, down the Red Sea to Ceylon, Madras, and Cal cutta ; and that company has contracted to extend the established chain between Southampton and India to Singapore and the Chinese empire, by the employment of several powerful steam-ships, nearly all constructed. This steam line between England and China is now complete, by which we have received an English news paper, printed at Hong-Kong, only fifty-six days before our having read it in London. A British company has for some years established a line of steamers along the southern shores of South America ; and the Hudson Bay Company have a steam ship on the western coast of North America. The East India Company employs one steam-ship in conveying mails between Suez and Bombay ; and several steam vessels are employed in India, and others in the Eastern or Chinese seas, by the British Government, as vessels of war. France has projected four great lines of transatlantic steam ships —when they will, or whether they will, be established, we have neither the power nor the temerity to decide. We cannot discover any obstacle in regard to France and America, to prevent French transatlantic ships competing with those of England; but, according to our mere instinctive judgment, linewo in clined aro . t o be lieve Europe the andgreat A connecting o rco be urs o be tween esi - continue ! ? 1 n f uzen interco urse main tainedports in America; and that such intercourse will be con ducted direct between ports of the United King dom, and ducted either by British subjects or by American citi zens, or, as is most likely, by both, jointly or separately. The progress and great extension of s t eam nav i gat i on along the coasts and rivers of the United States, and of the river St. Lawrence, and the great lakes of North America, we have described under a previous head. The sailing ships belonging to the United States, which sail regularly from New York, Boston, Philadel phia, and several other ports, to the ports of the United Kingdom, to Havre, Bordeaux, to ports in the Mediter ranean—and to the ports of Holland and the north of Europe, are equipp e d i n a style of extraordinary per fection and beauty, and navigated with the utmost nau tical skill. Those which sail between New York and Liverpool, and New York and London, are truly magni ficent, and their accommodations, though gorgeous, com bine for passengers all the luxuries and comforts of splendid hotels. - The following appeared as the programme of the pro jetted line of French steam-ships:— First great line—From Havre to New York.

One hundred years ago the hopes of the Stuarts for restoration to the throne of their ancestors were finally closed. After a short, but brilliant campaign, Prince Charles and his gallant followers were slain or scat tered on the 16th of April, 1746, never again to re ' assemble in arms for bringing " the auld Stuarts back again," but if that could have been accomplished by the most unbounded heroism and fearless enterprise, the devoted army which so enthusiastically followed their Prince had achieved the object. The destiny of this unfortunate house was otherwise. When the High landers had advanced as far as Derby, London - was thrown into the greatest consternation. Those of Jaco bitical principles, of course, were joyous, as far as pru• dente would permit the acknowledgment; but a run was made upon the Bank which was obliged to issue notes of trifling value to assist the circulation of coin among the military, as encouragement for whom, large sums were subscribed and abundance of clothes provided. o T n h e learningtror.s, n t o h t e w i disasters s s a t a s n t e d r i s n g, w h t i v o e h re b m e fe u i c h th d e i e r p r e c s: m e radts in the north, and believed th ere was nothing but defeat before them, hence the humerous picture by Hogarth of the march to Fincbley. After defeating the army under Hawley, at Falkirk, on retreat to the north, the Prince, after the failure of an attempt to surprise the Duke of Cumberland by night, drew up in battle array on the moor of Culloden, near Inverness, where the royal army confronted him next morning, The engagement speedily commenced, and the Highlanders rushing forward sword in hand, broke through the left wing of the front line and captured two cannon, but they were immediately met with a fire from the second line in front and flank, by NN hit& they were so cut up that they were compelled to retire. The panic went along their ranks and the whole began to retreat, broket h e gr i e i at e order,r part while crossing those w Nairn, ho some w ent of to t l h n e v c e l r a n n e s s s i t grievously slaughtered by th e wa y.

'AP OF CULLODEN ..4100R AND PART OF THE ADJACENT COUNTRY J. Gowie, Esq. —Smith, Elder, and C o. , Cornhill. By On the 16th of April, 1746, exactly a century since this day, was fought the decisive battle of Culloden, which sealed the fate of the Stuart dynasty. Culloden Moor, which is situated near Inverness, has long been an object of attraction to travellers, but no trustworthy , map has hitherto been published, showing the face of two aos armiesthe , demon-befbefore, s t i t l e a e t i o n u g n t t r h y e r as e s p i e t t n i o v e w p i o s s , i t a i o n n d during, and aft e r th e battle, so as to enable the tn., o a f s tl i ie t yeller, traversing the g roun d, to follow accurately the manoeuvres of the two armies. This great want has been recently admirably supplied by Mr. Gowie, who has published a map of Culloden Moor, drawn on a large scale, on which are l a id d own th e different lines of loutes leading to the field of battle, and the po sitions and lines of march of the respective armies on the eventful 16th of April, 1746. The map also exhibits the sites of the ancient tumuli, Druidical stone circles, vitrified forts, and other objects of interest to be found on the moor ; and is, moreover, enriched by an enlarged plan of the order of battle, accompanied by copious explanatory notes. As a work of art the map is beautifully executed, and as a topographical illustration of one of the most interesting portions of the kingdom, it is one of the most complete things that has ever been effired to the public. ----------- - MR. RAY'S 1400 K ON THE "EDU CATION 01? THE POOR." The Master of Trinity has addressed the following letter to the Vice-Chancellor:— " Trinity Lodge, April 4, 1846. " Mr. Vice - Chancellor—I have just received a volume, entitled On the Ldueauon of the Poor in England and in Europe,' by Joseph Kay, of this college, whom I, on his solicitation, recommended as Travelling Bachelor ; preceded by an address to the Senate of the University of Cambridge, in which Mr. Kay states that when I recommended him to their notice as a candidate for that office, I informed him that they would expect him to publish a report of the results of his inquiries on the state of primary education in Europe. " I hasten to say to you that Air. Kay has completely astonished me by this statement. I never had any in tention of conveying to him such an impression as he describes. I did not know that he had it in contempla• Lion to publish on this subject; though he informed me that he intended to make Primary Education,' the main subject of his attention in his travels. " Nor do I recollect to have used, or think it possible that I used - language which could convey to Mr. Kay this impression. I told him, indeed, that, as Travelling Bachelor, he would have to send a Latin letter every year to the Senate ; giving some account of the results of his travels. One such letter he has sent, as you, sir, know. You have expressed your opinion respecting the unsatisfactory mode in which Mr. Kay has discharged that part of his duty; and this expression of your opinion I have already conveyed to him. " I have not read more than a few sentences of the book ; but from what I have seen I am compelled to say that it appears to me to contain expressions of Mr. Kay's opinions altogether unsuited to his position and attain ments ; and connected by him 'nest improperly with his relation to the university. And this impropriety is not less, but greater, in consequence of the great importance of the questions on which Mr. Kay delivers his opinions. If I could have imagined that such a use would be made of the appointment, I should have carefully abstained from forwarding Mr. Kay's desigcs. " If you, sir, think it proper, for the satisfaction of the Senate, that this explanation on my part should be communicated to them, I shall be ready to direct myself by your suggestions. " Believe me, Mr. Vice-Chancellor, your very faithful and obedient servant, " W. WHEWELL." STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, APRIL 14.—We are glad to state that the slight appearances of improvement which presented themselves towards the conclusion of last week have now become more distinct and decided. At this day's market there has been a very good demand for yarn ; and an advance of id. to id per lb. has been obtained on some counts and descriptions suitable for the German market. For goods, also, there has been a much better inquiry than for some time past ; and an advance of d. per piece on good shirtings has been generally de manded, and in some instances acceded to by purchasers. The inferior qualities of shirtings and all descriptions of printing cloth are in better demand, though without improvement in price. On the whole, the feeling in the market has been more cheerful and elastic than for several weeks previously. ROCHDALE, APRIL 13.—We have had rather more doing in the flannel market to-day, merchants having bought more freely ; but there is no improvement in prices. Wool has rather a tendency upward • and if there should be an increased demand for goo d s, it is expected that the raw material will advance in price. LEEDS, APRIL 14.—We have little to say about our to-day's markets, which were rather better attended than last week, but, on the whole, flat and spiritless.

MURDER IN GLASGOW.--1---t is our painful duty to-day to record an atrocious case of murder, which was perpetrated in the Bridgegate on Saturday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock. The victim was an elderly man, n ame d David Love, a weav er , res idi ng in Tureen-street, Calton, and the circumstances under which he was murdered, were as follow : — Shortly after eleven o ' c l oc k it appears Love and another individual, whose name we have not learned, went into an eating-house, Pigs' Feet Tavern, in the Goosedubbs, kept by a person named Daly, and called for a small quan tity of victuals. Previous to their being consumed, how ever, the reckoning, amounting to 6d. was demanded, and it turned out that neither Love nor his companion, owing . to some misunderstanding, had any money. This gave rise to some altercation between them and the people of the house ; but so far as we have ascertained, it consisted principally of abusive language on the part of Mrs. Daly and her servant, a girl named Cassidy, on account of their having been put to the trouble of setting down food to individuals who had nothing to pay far it. Ulti mately the watchman being sent for, or hearing the noise, went into Daly's ; but after this there was no disturbance, as Love and his companion went away peaceably, seemin*ly satisfied to escape from the disagreeable position in which they were placed. They had only proceeded a short distance along the Bridgegate, when Love was knocked down from behind by a blow on the back of the head. This blow there is no doubt was inflicted by Daly, he having been seen to do it by several persons who were close by at the time ; and the result was that Love literally died on the spot. The iunfor tunate man was lifted and carried into the shop of Dr. C I) fled. After ben, but it was of no avail—the vital spark killed by some persons who had seen the deed a b r ass-founder, re sidingthe occurrence Daly was accused of havir amongst others by a7man named Adams, himinto his own shop. the mouth for m aking such when Mrs. Daly struck him on d.

DUBLIN, APRIL 14.—Reports, as usual, highly coloured, were current all day to the effect that the country people, driven to desperation by hunger, had assembled in large masses in the neighbourhood of Clon mel, that several flour mills had been taken by storm, and their contents carried off, that the military, dragoons and artillery, had been called out, and that a serious col lision between soldiers and peasantry had been the final result. Part, and very small part, of all these alarming reports appear to be founded in fact. The affair is thus noticed in the Post of this evening : " A correspondent in Clonmel, whose letter is dated yesterday afternoon, writes to say that the greatest ex citement prevails in that town, owing to an attack made by the peasantry on some carts laden with provisions, and under an escort of military. Two troops of dra goons and a party of artillery that arrived from Cahir yesterday morning, were dispatched to Marlfleld-mills and distillery, upon which an attempt at plunder had been made. Happily no lives have been lost, as the military succeeded in driving back the people without firing on them." The Evening Freeman has an account which substan tially agrees with the foregoing. It is as follows: "Letters have reached town to-day announcing that there was an outbreak of the people at Clonmel, the county town of South Tipperary, yesterday. The people, who are reduced to the utmoss extremity of distress, and whose bones . protruded through the skin which covered them, staring through hollow eyes as if they had but just risen from their shrouds, cried out that they could no longer endure the extremity of their distress, and that they must take that food which they could not procure, and without which they could not live. They therefore assembled yesterday to the number of several hundreds and attacked the extensive and valuable flour mills situate just in the town. These mills are the largest, most valuable, and perhaps the best stocked of any in Ireland. They are the property of several Quaker gen tlemen, named Grubb, Malcolmson, and Hughes. For tunately, before the people could force their way into the mills, the army, consisting of artillery and dragoons, had arrived at the scene of outrage, and succeeded in dispersing the rioters without loss of property, and hap pily without loss of life. The people dispersed in the town again, it would appear, collected at some rendez vous in its vicinity, and they forthwith proceeded to Marlfield mills, the most extensive flour manufactory in Ireland. The proprietor is Mr. Stein, a Scotch gentle man, largely engaged in the distilling of whisky from way, but whether they were also successful in plundering ei the people i nw were enabled country. to it we have not been enabled to ascertain." thatgra grain, and this p n i g a c a t) trifolrcteisthsaeldr THE BODY OF A MAN FOUND IN TILE RIVER: ) Last Coroner, at Thames-street, on the body of a man unknown, ap• Lower V.

LATE ACCIDENT ON THE BRANDLING JUNCTION RAILWAY.-SOUTII SHIELDS, APRIL 14.—Sarah Ripon, one of the unfortunate women who received such extensive in juries by the recent accident on the Brandling Junction Rail way, died shortly after four o'clock this morning Her in juries were principally scalds on the head, chest, and arms. The deceased was a native of Alston, in Cumberland, and she had been on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Swaiwell, whose husband had left the house but a few minutes before the accident, to attend a Sunday-school. The deceased was sit ting near the fire, and Mrs Swalwell was at the table, when a rumbling noise was heard, and the one said to the other, " What could it be?"

A letter from St. Etienne of April 7 states that, in some of the pits, and particularly that of Clite-Tholliere. several of the colliers had returned to their work. At Fir miny also, the works had been resumed, so that the circle of the strike is becoming gradually narrower. The authorities had adopted measures to prevent the well disposed portion of the workmen from being molested. A few more arrests were effected on the night of the sth; but without noise or dis turbance. How TO SICKEN JOSEPH ADY.—An individual at Gate4lead, who had been pestered by Joseph Ady's commu nications, has adopted the expedient of sending Joseph (who, by the way, never 'pays postage) a farthing enclosed in a letter, informing him that the balance of the fee demanded (one pound) will be sent on receipt of the valu able informatien promised. The general adoption of this plan would, no doubt, soon induce Joseph to adopt a more legi .. timate occupation. An important piece of news was in circulation at Constantinople when the packet left. It was said that the independent tribe of the Abazes, who occupy a vast district on the Black Sea, had agreed to make common cause with the Circassians against the Russians. Soliman, Lieutenant of Schamyl, had gone amongst the Abaze, and read a pro clamation from that chief, which announced that he had ob tained two victories over the littssians.—Galipieni,
