Cecause, through his by en and advice the Anti-Corn-law t: a ge, originally dictated a peculiar arid great necessity, has, c j i "gh every step of its progress, been strictly confined to its osten , e and avowed purpose, and has been promptly and faithfully dis solved the moment that purpose has been effectually secured. thThat a subscription be commenced for the purpose of promoting Pro Posed National Testimonial to Richard Cobden, and that all Darn .es be invited to contribute to this testimony of a nation's n ati tude for services rendered to the people by one of themselves. Gloved by lizsay IVAnausxos, Esq., M.P., and seconded by Jesus Mortars, Esq., inThat (next to Richard Cobden) the gratitude of the country is due On eminent degree to the lion. Charles Pelham, Villiers, M.P., for ' v aluable and truly patriotic co-operation in the cause of corn-law eeDetil and free trade in general. That Mr. Villiers devoted his i tt ' e n r gies and abilities to the advocacy of the repeal of the corn-laws 1: 08 “. t !nle when, by so doing, he necessarily exposed himself to the ta tty of those classes with which he was naturally connected ; ghat mr.s. - o great moral courage he repeatedly forced this question upon this and hostile Legislature ; that from the eommenceme . nt ah,, L P2 B great struggle he has laboured . in tho cause with zeal, with h,,"!LY, and singleness of purpose, with untiring energy, with un abated good faith, and with a remarkable absence of all personal consideration and private jealousy. dies bat by these means, and by the knowledge and ability invariably Vitt l 2'ed by him in every Parliamentary debate on the subject, Mr. qq,',.' ;" 's has rendered invaluable assistance to the progress of the fi r ,°; and his name mast remain indissolubly connected with the A le , e es! of this great meaaire.

It would have con vinced the opponents of repeal that they were really in earnest, and would have rescued that association from the aspersions of its enemies, and have taught them a lesson of the value of their reasoning, and have per suaded them that the return of a repeal member at the next election would be certain.—(Cheering, groans, and hisses.) They wanted repeal, and nothing else.—(Hear, hear.) Now, he was afraid that the return of Mr. Sheil would cause a stain to rest on the records of the associa tion.--(Cheers ; and cries of "No " and " Yes.")

It contains the following paragraphs Recollect that the principles upon which we have looked for the repeal of the union is, that it can be obtained only by legal, peaceable, and constitutional means, and by the total absence of violence, force, and tumult.' " ' Recollect also that the principle of my political life, and that in which I have instructed the people of Ireland is, that all the ameliorations and improvements in political in stitutions can be obtained by persevering in a perfectly peaceable and legal course, and cannot be obtained by forcible means; or if they could be got by forcible means, such means create more evils than they cure, and leave the country worse than they found it.' " The instructions to the repeal wardens were passed by the unanimous vote of the Association, on Monday, Sep tember 16,1844. They contain the following instructions to the repeal wardens : " The Loyal National Repeal Association disclaims all force and violence. It proclaims that the cause is to succeed by peace and perseverance, and that the man that violates the law gives strength to the enemies of Ireland.' "The Association commenced the present year by the fol lowing resolution, unanimously adopted on the 6th of Janu ary, 1846. It is in the following words : " ' That, humbly submissive to the dispensations of an ever-adorable Providence, but confiding in his merciful pro tection, we solemnly pledge ourselves, in the name of the brave, moral, virtuous, and religious people of Ireland, and in the presence of the British nation, and of all the people of Europe and. America, that we will consent to no surrender, no compromise, no postponement of our undoubted rights, but that we will unremittingly persevere in all legal, consti tutional, and, above all, all peaceable means, and no other, until we attain the restoration of the legislative independence of Ireland, and re-establish our nationality, subject in dutiful and inviolable allegiance to the Monarch of Great Britain and Ireland, but protected by a resident Irish Parliament.' " Having thus detailed the reiteration of the principle of action adopted by the Association, and being in itself the very basis of the Association—namely, the principle that the amelioration of political institutions ought not to be sought for by any other means than those which are perfectly peace able, legal, and constitutional. " Tbat, to promote political amelioration, peaceable means alone should be used, to the exclusion of all others-isave-thest , that are peaceable, legal. and constitutional. " It has been said, very unwisely, that this principle pro hibits the necessary defence against aggression on the part of a domestic Government or a foreign enemy. It does no such thing. It leaves the right of self-defence perfectly free to the use of any force sufficient to resist and defeat unjust aggleision. We emphatically announce our conviction that all poli tical amelioration—and the first and highest of all, the repeal of the union ought to be sought for, and can be sought for successfully only by peaceable, legal, and constitutional means, to the utter exclusion of any other. In short, that the repeal of the union can and ought to be obtained by the same peaceable means by which Catholic Emancipation was achieved, and by the same exclusively peaceful system of action by which the Anti-Corn-law League so gloriously triumphed over every resistance, and obtained the repeal of the corn-laws, by which means alone we can, we ought, and, with the blessing of Almighty Provdence, we will obtain the repeal of the union." The rent is supposed to amount to 1301. • Mr. O'Connell sails for London on Wednesday.

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in theirseveral healthy . states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND. " The committee deem it right that the Association should, by adopting this report, assert once more its entire indepen dence of any newspaper circulating in any part of Great Britain or Ireland. The Association should disclaim, and does disclaim in the most emphatic manner, any conformity upon the part of the Association with, or any species of re sponsibility for the lucubrations or opinions set forth by any newspaper whatsoever. " The Association does not only not participate in, but neither demands or exercises any control over the senti ments expressed by any of the journals, whether those senti ments be the result of folly or of wisdom, of caprice or of patriotism. The blame in each case, if any be deserved, or 'the praise, if any be merited, bcflongs exclusively to the writers for those papers, and does not attach, in. any degree, to the Association. TsilLeucldomcamllitttheee attention t d io e n em of it th im e pcoorantatnrtythtoattliheprincipleAssocia tione on which the As soc i a ti on i s f oun d e d , and to the utility of having that principle distinctly understood in every part of the British islands. It is the principle of seeking the ame lioration of political institutions by peaceable and legal means alone, disclaiming and abhorring all attempts to im prove and augment constitutional liberty by means of force, violence, or bloodshed. "There are already upon record the following declarations and resolutions of the Repeal Association : " 4 1. The basis of the Repeal Association was laid on the 15th of April, 1840. The following were the first three pro positions constituting such basis:-- "' 1. Most dutiful and ever inviolate loyalty to our most gracious and ever-beloved Sovereign Queen Victoria, and her heirs and successors for ever. " 2. The total disclaimer of, and the total absence from all physical force, violence, or breach of the law ; or, in short, any violation of the laws of man, or the ordinances of the eternal God, whose holy name be ever blessed. " 3. The only means to be used are those of peaceful, legal, and constitutional combination of all classes, sects, and per suasions of her Majesty's loyal subjects; and, the power of public opinion, concentrated upon most salutary, and always legal, means and objects.' " The rules of the association were adopted at the same meeting, and amongst them were the following rules : " 4 17th. The sole and exclusive means of the objects we desire to attain are by argument, reasoning, the concentra tion of public opinion, the peaceable and constitutional com bination of the Irish people, and by petitions to the Legisla ture, and finally by legislation. " 18th. That any person who shall violate the law in any particular, in doing or purporting to do the business of the association, is hereby declared to be no longer a member, and that he shall be expelled so soon as the fact is discovered.' "An address was on 21st April, 1840, voted to the people of Ireland on the subject of the repeal rent. That address was circulated throughout the Irish nation, and in it are to be found the following paragraphs : " The only modes of action which we would advise or as sist in, must be, in their nature, legal and constitutional, and in their operation always tranquil, peaceable, and totally de void of violence or outrage of any kind whatsoever. " We resort only to moral force—to the power of public opinion—to the concentration of legal and peaceable combi nation—to the presentation of petitions signed by millions— and the influence of such petitions to obtain the legislative enactment we desire.' "Another address was voted by the Repeal Association, on October 2, 1840, and circulated throughout the entire island. "This latter address was adopted and published in reply to a speech made by Lord Ebrington to the late Corporation. It contains the following passages amongst others : "' His Excellency, Lord Ebrington, openly and firmly de clares his total disbelief of the possibility of the repeal being carried by legal and constitutional means, at the same time acknowledging that the advocates of that measure are not seeking it by means of any other description. " He openly and firmly declares his conviction of evil consequences to Ireland, were the repeal of the Union effected. --- : 7 11e openly and firmly declares his determination to put down, by the strong arm of the law, all endeavours to carry the repeal by other than the most perfectly legal and consti tutional means. "'And he expresses finally his strong assurance that a great majority of the Repealers themselves would join with, and support him in measures of coercion, should these be ren dered necessary by any breach of the law in the agitation for repeal.' ‘" We are as firmly and as fully convinced of the good that would result to both countries from the repeal of the union, as Lord Ebrington can be of the contrary, and we are of course perfectly convinced of the practicability of its being carried. "'We are as firmly determined to use no other than legal and constitutional means to effect that repeal, as he can be to prevent the adoption of means of a violent and illegal character. "His Excellency may be most fully confident that he will find us Repeaters foremost in supporting and vindicating the cause of peace, law, and order,' for this plain reason, fellow countrymen, if for no other— " ' That we are convinced that nothing bnt the breaking of the law by the advocates of repeal, can ever prevent the glo rious accomplishment of that glorious measure. "An address to the people of England was passed at a meet ing of the Loyal National Repeal Association, held on Mon day, the 16th November, 1840. This address, after stating our objects, went on in the following words : " We seek those ends by peaceable and legal means alone —by meetings constitutionally, legally, and peacefully as sembled and conducted, by petitions to Parliament respect fully though firmly worded—above all, by labouring to re turn proper representatives. "'The Chartists advocate the use of the torch and the dagger, p hy s ical force instead of moral, aud, in too many a case, their stormy and seditious meetings only to sell themselves at the hustings to the highest bidder. It was the refusal of the Irish people to join with such as these that has chiefly contributed to procure for that people the hostility of the bulk of your radical papers' " 'On the subject of the Chartist movement, certain reso lutions were unanimously adopted at a meeting of the Repeal Association, held, on Monday, the 13th September, 1841. The last resolution passed on that occasion was in the following terms : "' Lastly. The Repealers will as little risk the danger as endure the contamination of Chartist violence. Leading Chartists have proclaimed the torch and dagger as adjuncts to their agitation—leading Ch ar ti s t s have ap peared in open battle array against the Queen's troops; and now that the leaders of that insurrec tion have been, upon the merits, convicted of high treason, although deprived of the benefit of a point of law, yet though the conviction was upon the merits, these leaders are cried up as martyrs by the Chartists. Their names are invoked with applause at their public meetings, and thus Chartism becomes united with high treason. " The peaceful, temperate, moral, and loyal Repealers of Ireland can have no connexion with practical Chartism' "Another address to the people of Ireland was voted INTERESTING STATISTICS FOR WHEAT-GROWERS AND MILLERS. The following from the Bu f falo Commercial Advertiser of June 11, possesses some interesting facts for the atten tion of the wheat-growers and millers : The decline in prices of flour and wheat this spring has been the source of disappointment to a great many who operated last winter at very high rates, calculating upon large profits to be now realised, and as it appears that those views are entirely frustrated, a calm view into the causes, at this particular juncture, may not perhaps come amiss. After last harvest, the crop of wheat was ascertained to be a very large one, and almost every individual engaged in the trade looked for the ruling of low prices, unless something occurred to create an extra foreign demand. Shortly afterwards we began to receive accounts from England of the probable failure of the crops there, which immediately gave a spur to prices, and purchases were made for shipment to that quarter—advices continuing to be received con firmatory in that respect, speculation started, until prices ran up in New York to 7 dole. per bbl. for flour. It appears that rate could not be continued (although many anticipated 8 dols to.lo dols.) and why ?—a few figures will show. The annual average crops of wheat in Great Britain for the past' few years, has been equal to 20 millions of quarters of 8 imperial bushels of 70 lbs. According to all well-informed sources, the crop of wheat there last year was ascertained, shortly after harvest, to be about 19 millions of quarters, requiring one million of qrs. to be received from other countries to make up said defi ciency. The crops on the continent being rather short of previous years, this country was naturally looked to for what supplies Great Britain stood in need of ; hence the continued shipments to that quarter even up to the present time. Now what is the state of matters there? By last advices received from that quarter, per " Hiber nia," the quantity of wheat and flour under lock or in bond, in the United Kingdom, made up to the sth of April, is thus shown: Wheat 1,227,374 quarters. Flour 940,871 cwt.—reduced to wheat will equal 330,000 quarters—making total of wheat upwards of 1,500,000 quarters-50 per cent. more than their actual deficiency. The above stock in bond has been accumulating since, and it would not be sur prising if the quantity increased to near two millions of quarters, before any would be released, which is alto gether awaiting the action of Parliament on the New Corn Bill. Our crop of wheat last season no doubt was the largest ever gathered in this country. The Commissioner of Patents, who has for a number of years collected statis tical information of such things, puts it down to about 106 millions of bushels, but that is evidently below the quantity; 120 millions would be nearer the mark. With our population of 20 millions of inhabitants, the Consumption would be equal to 90,000,000 bush. Add for seed Would leave for export 20,000,000 " The quantity left over of the previous crop is not taken in the estimate, as such may average about the same from one crop to another. The number of bushels put down for export, it will be perceived, is about double of what Great Britain required (say ten millions of bushels of 601bs.)—our ordinary export demand seldom coming up to ten millions of bushels, or 2,000,000 bbls flour. Present indications show that the above esti mate of the crop in this country is not far, if at all, out of the way. The whole error, therefore, has been, that parties did not look far enough to see what Great Britain actually wanted, (as that was the only source we could expect to carry off our extra surplus), but went blindly into it, an ticipating that they would never be able to send enough there—and because she required a small quantity, a larger amount must necessarily follow. Some would probably say that the failure of the potato crop in Ire land would require an extra consumption of flour. The difficulty in that respect, with the poor peasantry of that country was their deficiency of means to purchase such an article of food—and if any one would take the pains to examine the English papers, they would find evidence of this in the continual arrival of wheat, &c. at the different ports in England, from the very famished districts in Ireland. No, they went on the coarser articles, such as peas, beans, oatmeal, &c., of which there is an abundance. Again, since the spring has opened, , arrivals have taken place in England, from the Baltic and other ports on the Continent, of wheat, notwith standing the talk of the great scarcity there also. Prices will now entirely depend on our next crop (for it is apprehended shipments to England are pretty much at an end for the time being) which, to all appearance will be large—if not larger than the last—fur the high prices last fall no doubt stimulated farmers to put in greater breadth of ground, in conjunction with which nothing has as yet appeared mat( rially to affect its yield; hence low prices must necessarily ensue, unless we have another famishing country to supply perspectively, and get up speculation with its unhappy results, such as are now experienced. SINGULAR MODE OF CATCHING ALLIGATORS. The intrepid fisherman killed a sucking-pig, and ran a moderately thick stick through the entire length of the body, which he cut open. To the middle of this stick he attached an iron chain, eight or ten feet long, by means of a cramp, and then further elongated the chain by fastening a cord to it. Armed with two strong barbed iron lances, he went on board his light canoe, and put out a short distance from the shore, while we remained in the hut watching his proceedings with great interest and curiosity. At a venture he threw the pig into the river, and scarcely a minute had elapsed ere a pair of enormous widely-extended jaws rose above the surface and quickly disappeared with the treacherous prize. The fisherman took advantage of this moment to fasten the end of the rope to his canoe, and also to attach his two lances by long ropes to the boat. The voracious animal soon de voured his booty and drew the boat, which of course fol lowed his every movement, first to one side of the river and then to the other, always seeking for the deepest water. The rope being continually drawn tighter and tighter, the alligator darted with great violence above the surface, whereupon the negro vigorously thrust the lance at his head, and the monster again dived. Certain of approaching victory, he stood calmly, with uplifted lance, watching for an opportunity of throwing it again whenever his adversary might rise above the sur face. We were much astonished at the man's patient assiduity, for there was once a pause of half an hour during which the animal did not appear, but as he gradually became weaker he rose more frequently, and at last always with his jaws wide open. The numerous wounds inflicted by the lance, and consequent loss of blood, so completely exhausted the poor alligator that he had great difficulty in drawing the boat after him; but suddenly collecting all his remain• ing strength, he pulled the boat on one side with such violence that the fisherman fell into the water. In an instant, he dexterously flung himself into the boat, and continued to strike his antagonist with his harpoon. The combat lasted nearly an hour and a half, when the alligator yielded without resistance to the superior force of the negro, who gradually brought his boat alongside of us, and then suddenly leaping on shore fastened the rope to a cocoa-palm in front of his hut. He then fear lessly approached the animal, which was nearly covered with water, and deprived him of all possibility of escape several deep wounds. Life was notpilipyt Lest I should irove tedious, I pass over many amus ing, and some interesting incidents that occurred in the progress of this negotiation. No sooner, howavr, had Mr. Polk discovered what would satisfy the British Go vernment, than he determined to accede to their views.. But, in the meantime, he kept many of his friends, and those who imagined they possessed his confidence, in a state of ignorance as to his ulterior views. In casual, loose conversations, he uttered, or caused to be uttered, the declaration, that he should make no further proposi tions to the British ; and if they proposed any thing short of " Fifty-four forty" he should decline acting, and sub mit the question to the Senate. At length the proposi tion from Great Britain came. It was submitted to the Senate, and they advised the negotiation of a treaty (non the basis proposed, which treaty was promptly ra tified. And now let us inquire, what object had the Presi dent in view when he- asked the advice of the Senate ? Was it to obtain their opinion as to the proposed treaty? Certainly not ; for Mr. Polk knew, and everybody knew, that more than two-thirds of the whole Senate were in favour of such a treaty as that proposed. What then was the object ? It was to cast from his own shoulders all responsibility, and to leave it with the Senate. It was to seek a shelter under the wing of that honourable body from the slow moving finger of scorn. Butenough ; the work is d one , an d well done. One word more as to the President. It is his duty to negotiate treaties. From the performance of that duty he has shrunk. In so doing he has violated the consti tution. He has surrendered the rights and the duty of the Executive to a co-ordinate branch of the Govern ment—the Senate_ The surrender, although made to a noble and glorious band of statesmen and patriots, yet the act itself humbles in the dust the Executive - that made the sacrifice. Will you allow me to make a short extract from my letter of the 11th of December, 1845, written a few days after Mr. Polk's war message to Congress, at the opening of the session ? My object is to show you that at that early day I understood the President and his adherents, and that in my speculative opinions on the subject of peace or war I have neither led you nor your readers into error. In that letter, speaking of the President.'s message and public opinion thereon. I say— " The great difference between the Administration party and the Whig party is, that the former, with out regard to the morality of the question, are -for a war, unless the whole of the Oregon is surren dered to the United States, believing that the terri tory is within their grasp. The Whigs, on the other hand, admit that there is some right in the British Government to claim a portion of the ter ritory ; and that portion, be it more or less, they wish amicably settled between the parties on the prin ciples of morality and justice. . . . They (the Whigs) will do all that a patriotic and honest class of citizens can, and ought to do, to avert the threatened calamity; but it must be recollected that the control of this question is not in their hands. The British Govern ment ought not, therefore, to permit a false pride to lead them astray from the path to which both wisdom and policy point as the path to peace and prosperity. And now, influenced by a most sincere desire for the peace of the two countries, and their mutual welfare and prosperity, I do respe c tf u lly recommen d that Great Britain, offer the proposition made by Mr. Gall " That the Ministry offer to the . Unlted Statesatin ; e t o h r, tBl Island, &c., retaintoethger with the de -tta9othhepdatrearlrlietlortoy,th ir ,.. s n e c a o'u v Gea e;' s Is a free navigation of the Columbia _River for merchant vessels. tet a hhi t veeei t this ts i ah s uceg G egea o epp v stpt e air r noo n enb m eaf e otri n foo t nimt would it, s ot h a heuAmmbleeria preven tivethee a l‘ po i ef offer.. ll owp o al p er i.,11::Ii trust rsurers receive h e source will be no objection to the consideration of it. I will not enlarge, and will only add, it has not been made without due reflection and advice." If these suggestions, made nearly seven months since, are closely examined and compared with the treaty re cently ratified, it will be seen that in writing th e l etter or pa r r ep ty re i s n en th te is d c t o h u e n c t h ry a , - r a a b c o t v e e r q a u n o d t e p d o , l i l cy n e o i f t h t h e r e nor the feelings and wishes of its peopl e . 1 n d o i s m t o i n o a k n nor having extended this letter to a greater length than usual, and the feeble state of my health pressing heavily upon me, I am warned that I must bring it to a hasty conclusion. Major-Generals Scott and Gaines are in trouble.with the President. They are both in Washington. The difficulty of the former arises out of his entertaining and expressing suspicion that leading men in power wero intriguing against him. The charge against General Gaines is, that he assumed, illegally, responsibilities which he had no right to assume. The Administration will probably carry on the war against these military men with great ,asperity. Mr. Polk never forgives an injury, real or imaginary. The climate and the roads will probably prevent any great movement by General Taylor until late in Sep tember or early in October. Besides, it is absolutely pecessary, before movin g , th at h e should have large depots of provisions, to effect which extensive means of transportation are required, which have not yet been provided. _ By the latest accounts from Mexico, it appears, that the Mexican Government are not yet prepared to seek a peace, but are arranging to defend their country.-- Times.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, JULY 14.—The yarn market continues very quiet; and prices of some descriptions, particularly warps and the qualities of mule yarn suit able for the Indian market, are again rather lower. The demand for cloth continues much the same as last week, and prices remain steady. ROCHDALE, MONDAY, JULY 13.—There has been some little improvement in demand for pieces to .day, but no change in prices. The wool market continues inactive, and the business transacted has been very limited, at former prices. HUDDERSFIELD, JULY 14.—Again we have to report an improvement in our market. Several buyers have attended to-day, and some heavy purchases have been made in dark-coloured goods. The manufacturers, how ever, complain most of the sacrifice they are obliged to make to effect sales. LEEDS, TUESDAY, Jrrx.r 14.—There is little altera tion to notice in our market. The lower descriptions of goods, which have been in request for some time, are taken off as brought in, and a tone of confidence seems gradually gaining ground with both merchants and ma nufacturers.—Manchester Guardian. A CITY CREATED BY A DOG. The Duke of Lucca's villa at Stiava is,beautifully situ ted, but very small. To avoid anticipating dinner by the olfactory nerves, which is inevitable in a diminutive mansion, and to insure a more ample refectory, the Duke banished his batterie de cuisine to Conca, a lodge a mile up in the mountain, and regularly earned an appetite, in those days, by scrambling up there to breakfast and dinner. It was fine discipline for health, and to en courage the practice, the amiable Duchess, during his absence at Vienna, had his rural dining hall, at Conca beautifully painted and furnished, to give him a pleasant surprise on his return. His Royal Highness's next birth-day was accordingly kept at the lodge in the mountains. A little castellated town, a few miles off, Camajore, which had played its part gallantly in the civil wars, and had still strong walls to boast, had long been memorializing and supplicating the sovereign to be advanced to the dignity and privileges of a city. " Viareggio, without walls or ancient re nown, had civic honours to dispense, why should not Camajore?" The place is so small, and so insignifi cant, that the Duke had always smiled at their preten sions, and waived their claims, reluctant to impose un necessary expenditure on the state. However, there were too many persons interested in sharing the muni • cipal emoluments to let the subject drop. One wanted to be governor, another chancellor, and another gon falonier, or mayoi, besides some twenty more expect ing subordinate offices. The Duke was inexorable —the Duchess was assailed—and, above all days in the year, on her consort's birthday! Her Royal Highness never interferes in Government decrees, but how could she refuse so small a boon on such a day ? Dinner commenced—the feast was joyous. When persons are happy and merry themselves, they naturally wish to dispense happiness and mirth to others. An old courtier gave a hint, that Camajore alone, of all the country round, was sad; " hope long deferred, making the heart sick." The Duke was deaf-6- at length the Duchess spoke—his heart has always ears for her, and he was in buoyant spirits. By his side stood his favourite dog, a splendid animal. Brillante, he knew, had just been gorged by a large plateful, from the royal board, and Brilliante was notorious for never eating bread, so, in a moment of frolic, thinking he was sure to win, his Royal Highness was resolved to set the fate of Camajore on a cast, and throwing the dog a large roll, he said—" If Brillante devours this, Camajore shall be a city." The capricious and capacious jaws opened—the teeth did their work—the bread went down—absolutely down, and Camajore was a city I I believe the Duke was sorry, but his word was passed. The Duchess and Princess Charlotte soon twined the ornamental flowers of the table into a garland, crowned Brillante, and led him to his royal master, amidst cheers and vivas. The propitious dog was next morning taken to Camajore and paraded about the new city, amidst a rejoicing po pulation, who were ready to worship him, and promised to introduce a dog and a loaf of bread into tho city arms, over the gate, that Brilliante's fame might descend to posterity.—Bye Ways of Italy. [ADVERTISEMENT.] -DEAFNESS AND, DEFECTIVE VISION RELIEVED, 39, ALBERMARLE-STREET, PiccADlLLl.—Newly invented acoustic tubes, for relief of extreme deafness, and when inserted n the ear cannot be perceived by the nearest observer — they aro entirely different from all others, and are the smallest hear ing instruments constructed—measuring only a quarter of an inch in their widest part; they may be securely adjusted in the ears unob served, and removed therefrom with as great ease and facility. Per sons are enabled to join in general conversation, and to hear most distinctly in a place of worship, &c., and what should be greatly considered, a natural expansion of the cavity o f the ear is preserved —a thickening or contraction of which in many instances is par tially the cause of deafliess—and by their use the unpleasant sen sation of singing noises in the ears is entirely obviated. Also im proved hearing trumpets of every description. Immediately the newly-invented spectacle lenses aro placed before imperfect vision, either by day or candlelight, that mist and dullness which appear before the eyes is at once removed, every object becomes clear and distinct, so that the most aged defective sight becomes bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and original state.

[ADvERTIBEMENT.]—A BAD LEG OF THIRTY-FIVE YEARS' STANDING CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.— The particulars of this extraordinary case are as follows :—Mr. Jas. Macdonald, a native of Ireland, now residing at No. 7, George-yard, Whitechapel, was discharged from the navy in 1813, in consequence of his leg then having been bad for two years, and pronounced in Plymouth Hospital as incurable. During the former long period he had had the advice of the most skilful surgeons in London, Dublin. and other places. Notwithstanding the dreadful state of the leg and Rye-and-thirty years of suffering, the limb is now soundly healed by the use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which are sold by all dealers In medicines, and at the Proprietor's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. A ROGUE CAUGHT AND RELEASED.—WO learn from the Boston Star that an Englishman, named A. T. Leman, a mahogany-dealer in London, after swindling his creditors out of about 90,000 dollars, left for this country, and arrived here in the ship Joshua Bates. One of his creditors followed him in the Caledonia, and learning that Leman had offered to Mr. Henshaw, broker, in Boston, 5,0001. in Bank of England notes for sale, he ferreted him out, and obtained from him 10,000/. in Bank of England notes and soverigns, and allowed him to escape.—New Yorh Journal of Commerce. " Kilkie-Kilrush, July 9. " My dear Mr. Ray,—As I perceive, by the report of the proceedings of last Monday, that the Committee of the Association are about to consider the course which ought to be adopted with regard to the election for Dun garvan, and for the other places in which Ministerial candidates will shortly present themselves for re-election, I do not feel myself at liberty to shrink from the re sponsibility of offering my opinion on the subject. " I shall not recapitulate the arguments which I laid before the Association on Monday week, with a view to prove to the country the importance of exhibiting, at the present moment, an earnest and uncompromising fidelity to the principle of repeal ; but assuming that these ar guments are incontrovertible, I have no hesitation in saying that the Association ought to call upon the several constituencies to put forward repeal candidates in oppo sition to Whig placemen, and ought to support such candidates with all the aid and influence which it can command. "I know well that repeal candidates will start under great disadvantage when opposed to such able and ex cellent men as Mr. Sheil, Mr. Wyse, Mr. O'Ferrall, and Sir W. Somerville ; but it is of so much importance to us to prove to our countrymen that we are in earnest, and'that no concession with respect to repeal has been made, or will be made, to any English party, that I should prefer the risk of defeat in,each of these cases to acqui esce in the re-election' of the Ministerial candidates. " I shall feel'obliged if you will lay this letter before the COmmittep„ancLOßfore the Association on Monday next.—Believe me, very sincerely yours, "T. M. Ray, Esq." " W. SMITH O'BRIEN. Mr. O'CoNsixu, rose to move that the letter of Mr. Smith O'Brien be inserted in the minutes, and that the marked thanks of the Association be conveyed to that gentleman for this additional proof of his patriotism.— (Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman handed in 251. from Middleton, accompanied with a letter from the clergy of the deanery of Clogne.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CoNNEu. then rose to address the meeting. He said, that as he had a great deal to say, he had better commence at once. He begged to call their patient at tention to what he had to say, for he never rose to address a public meeting with more sincere anxiety or unaffected regret. He felt anxious that the conduct of that Association should be such as to deserve repeal.— (Cheers.) He felt exceedingly desirous that there should be an end put to every difference of opinion amongst them, and that they should co-operate in restoring the na tionality of Ireland.—(Cheers.) He had thought deeply before he adopted the course that he now was about to suggest to the Association. —(Hear, hear.) He would tell them that he wanted them either to declare firmly for his principles or against them---(Great cheers) — for the principles of peaceable but continuous agitation—for that agitation which alone deserved success, and which, in his conscience, alone ought to obtain it, or the admission amongst them of an ad herence to the principle of physical force. Would they , banish from them all id ea o f p h ys i ca l f orce ? "W e will.') He would tell them at once he would not go on for one moment with them unless they all joined against physical force.—(Hear and cheers.) He wculd tell them he would never relax his exertions for repeal until he walked into a Parliament at College-green. The Committee of the Association, with the exception of two of its members, were in favour of banishing for ever from their minds the idea of physical force. The first subject he would wish to speak upon was a letter which was addressed. to him in a public news paper by Lord Milltown.—(Hear, hear.) It had been several days before the public, and he owed the public and his Lordship an apology for not answering it before, but the pressure of the repeal business had alone prevented him doing so. He would take the first opportunity of answering that letter. Lord Milltown wanted him to postpone the re peal cause for a time, and to give a trial to the new Ministry, but he (Mr. O'Connell) would not postpone the repeal for an instant.—(Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman next called the attention of the meeting to Mr. Sharman Crawford's letter on the tenant right of Ulster, and passed a compliment on the honour, virtue, and patriotism evinced by Mr. Crawford in his treat ment of the question of tenant right.—(Cheers.) He next alluded to the late Dungarvon election, and Mr. Sheil's return as its representative.—(Hear, hear.) He called their attention to a resolution passed by the Committee of the .Association on the 9th instant, as follows: " DUNGARVON ELECTION. Resolution of the General Committee of the Loyal National Repeal Association, passed on Thursday, July instant. " That the Liberator be requested to report to the assoeiation on Monday, that if there was sufficient time for preparation, the committee have no doubt bnt that a Repealer could be returned for Dungarvon ; but besides this difficulty, the election being one for a year at most, and as any defeat would be seriously detrimental to the repeal cause at this juncture , t h e committee, taking all the circumstances into consideration, thi n k i t b etter not He arrivedimover to Ir e l an d was the Dungarvon was s in Dubli n on Monday, quite right. O ne of the matters to contest the borough on the p resent occasion." Such was the unanimous o p inion of the committee, and he thought which that election. brought o p inio h w and at once proceeded to t hat associati on, which he ad. ld in his hand, an d had read to them. Several cpdooremrstmsheidett,hee for it and moved onder veodthsiatthaetior saon be ref erre d to t h e which framed the re of the Repealers of Dunga rvon consid ered that it was not worth while to raiseexcitement suffici en t to get in a Repealer, and with that view several of th e leading Repealers there pr omised to su pport Mr. Sheil he i‘i r. Sheil, asked them th e reason why yh promisedtktleiyeirvoteW to vote en for they replied , they could not carry the elect ion in Dun ,arvon unless the tenants voted against the i nterest s of their landl or d s , and that if they voted in this wa y at present it wou ld be impossible to secure their votes in the gene ra l elec tion that was coming on in a sh ort time. H e move d sh that the report be adopted by the association.—(Cheers.) Mr. MEAGHER (a Young Irelander) here rose to address the meeting, when he was interrupted by Mr. O'Connell. Mr. O'CONNELL—You ` see, gentlemen, we shall have cause for dissension enougilh I will not name this for the present, and I will not give the young gentleman an opportunity of creating dissension.—(" Hear," cheers, and much uproar.) Mr. O'Connell then went on to allude, once more, to the Dungarvon election, and con cluded by saying he thought it would be better to hear Mr. Meagher, and therefore he moved that the report be received and adopted. Mr. N. MAHER, M.P., seconded the motion. He said that although the report was unanimously adopted, he had differed with part of it, but did not express himself to that effect at the commencement. — (Hear, hear.) He regretted that a Repealer was not fond on the hustings at Dungarvon, against all odds, and in, the teeth of every risk and influence. The Duke of Devonshire had been alluded to, and he considered no influence, however high, Mr. O'CoNNELL—Is such a man as the O'Conor Don to be called an apostate by this young gentleman ? —(Cries of " No, no," and " Put him out.") Mr. MEAGHER—I am now done. As to physical force, I am an advocate for the principles of this Asso ciation until it declare those principle futile.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL, having denied the appointment of Mr. Clements, and stated that he saw no reason why a repealer should not take a situation from the Whigs, for they had abused Lord Ebrington for excluding them from promotion—(Cheers)—the Learned Gentleman argued for the great principle of peace, and proposed the adoption of the following report just at post hour:— " REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE LOYAL NATIONAL IRELAND. RIPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, JULY 13.—The usual weekly meeting of this body was held to-day, at one o'clock, in the Conci liation Hall, whi c h was crowded in every part for some .hours ttohec ocnos, p i fd r ee e rr v e i nto the ee s oe y of , course thefr r s o e from too ma be n m ant iat dte x oev i , e tew y dh to o h mr h oe e ut a g r ohn t h I Ter Ireland, au e s nr u sdd l , ta as , of s to the proposal of repeal candidates in such counties and boroughs as vacancies might occur in before the next general electio n . At the appointed time, Mr. O ' Connell, M.P., ac compan i ed by Mr. John O'Connell, M.P., Mr. N. Maher, M.P., Mr. J. St ee l e , M r . J. A. O'N e ill, Cap tain Brodrick, and M essrs . M eag h er . B aron Mitchell, O'Gorman, &c., of th e " Y oung Ireland party, " entere d the meeting, and were loudly cheered. Upon the mo tion of Mr. O'Connell, seconded by Mr. Maher, the chair was taken by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. His LORDSHIP, upon taking his seat, thanked the meeting for conferring go high an honour on him as that of placing him in the chair on so particular an occasion, at a ti me w h en their enemies were alleging that they were about suspending the repeal cause in order to give support to the Whig Government. Now he (the Lord Mayor) utterly denied the assertion upon the part of every man who had the slightest respect for the Libera tor, for on repeal, and repeal alone, their leader rested his hopes for the salvation of his country. If he could obtain good and salutary measures for his country, he (the Lord Mayor) would say that he hid been acting dis honourably and dishonestly if he did not avail himself of them. No one could doubt—and thank God for it— that some good would be done by the Whigs, and speedily too ; and if they were so disposed to do jus tice to Ireland, it was their duty, in his opinion, to give them all the assistance in their power, and bring to the Liberator's assistance as many friends as they could.— (Cheers.) Seeking for good measures for the country was no reason why they should compromise their honour and independence ; but they could both get them, and at the same timework for repeal under "hlin Whoni they worked with fifty years.—(Cheers.) They never had any man in the country, from the beginning of its history, fit to govern Ireland but one, and when it was the wish of God to call that man to himself they would never again have his equal, and whilst they bad him they should follow his footsteps.—(Hear, hear.) He (the Lord Mayor) would ask, was there not proof already that the Government were disposed to do something for their beloved country ? They had already appointed Chief Baron Brady in the room of Sugden, who dismissed their magistrates, and would have disfranchised their country, if he had been enabled to do so.—(Cheers.) Was it not important to have Mr. Pigot selected as Chief Baron in place of Chief Justice Penne father, and Mr. Hatchell, Q.C., instead of Mr. Brewster? —(Great applause.) Could anything be more essential than their having the poor protected by good magis trates ? Certainly not and the opportunity of getting theni presented itself. However, no man could do it if not supported ;- and unless Mr. O'Connell were sup ported Ireland would go back to what she was fifty years ago.—(Cheers.) No one could contend against their leader, as being the only man who could carry out repeal. He, as the Lord Mayor of Dublin, elected unanimously, would, on behalf of the citizens of Dublin, say that they had full "confidence in him as the only man who could carry out repeal.—(Hear, hear.) With these observa tions he would again thank them for the honour con ferred on him.(Cheers.) Mr. RAY then read the minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed, and subsequently the following letter from Mr. O'Brien : PRICE SD. --- tt 11.1081 important and happy change ; but especially as it relates to the recent difficulties between the Governments of Great Britain and the United States. You will readily imagine the sincere pleasure the Oregon arrangement has afforded me. For many years, at home and abroad, I have been the untiriag and zealous advocate of peace with all the world, but in particular with Great Britain, because a war with that country, from her great power and immense resources, would prove of a most terrific and destructive character to the United States, and be cause the two nations speak the same language : their people, in many instances, are connected by the ties of blood, and almost universally by commercial transac tions. Awful, indeed, would be that war which watild produce such results as those to which I refer. It is true there are two sides to this question. The Americans, in the event of a war, could and would in flict deep and lasting wounds upon their enemy —wounds that never, no, never, could be healed—wounds upon their commerce, upon their manufactures, upon their provinces. But why pursue this subject? It would be, after all, in the language of Mr. Jefferson, " only trying which could do the other the most harm." I am mortified to say, and yet truth requires that i should be said, that to the manly and frank policy o the British Ministry are_we indebted for an honourable adjustment of pending difficulties. It would be worse than ridiculous to attempt evasion on the present occa sion. Let it then be distinctly understood, that Presi dent Polk and his advisers, the "Fifty-four forty" men, were for war. They were for the " whole, or none of Oregon," reckless of consequences. The question naturally arises, what was their object ? I answer, self - aggrandisement ; to perpetaate their political ascendancy. A war, Mr. Polk hoped, would re-elect him. By means of the millions to be expended in carrying on that war the corrupt tools of power would be increased in number and subserviency. The welfare and the honour of the country never entered info the calculation. The only questions that were mooted in dark divan were—will the proposed measures promote the party ? —and can we succeed ? For a time these half. deluded men imagined that they held the game in their own hands. They were insolent and overbearing. At length, however, their attempt at dictation aroused some of the members of that elevated Ind truly noble body, the Senate of the United States. These Senators spoke (and their voices were heard from the vallies to the hill-tops) with the calm dignity and kftßeseteee--of,American statesmen. The " Fifty-four forty" Men, for a moment, were astounded and para lysed ; and now commenced their contortions and twist jugs, which were continued until their extinction. While these movements were progressing in the Senate, the people read with great avidity and increased marks of approbation the debates in that honourable body. It was soon discovered that a very large majority of the intelligent and respectable portion of the com munity were decidedly opposed to a war with Great Britain, and to all and every measure calculated to produce such a state of things. They no longer doubted that the British had an equitable claim to a portion of Oregon, and therefore they were for an adjustment by honourable compromise It was now that Mr. Polk discovered, perhaps sooner than his advisers, that the brawling and turbulent " Fifty-four forty" men were rapidly sinking into insig nificance, and would soon find themselves deserted even by those who had professed to be their followers. Mr. Polk then found himself and his colleagues in error, bound hand and foot by the Senate. He well knew that no declaration of war could pais that body; that no law authorising the President to take possession of Oregon or to establish a government over that territory could bo adopted. In short, that nothing remained fur him but to negotiate. Thus circumstanced, what was he to do ? He was pledged, in the most solemn manner, to the Baltimore Convention, for " all or none of Oregon." The " Fifty four forty" men had demanded of him fealty, and he had sworn it. His western advocates were becoming clamorous for a redemptiou of his pledges. In short, whichever way he cast his eyes, he saw nothing but in creased and increasing difficulties before him. What next ? He determined, in the hope of escap. ing uninjured, to abandon, on the question, the Balti more Convention, the "Fifty-four forty" men, and his western champions}--all, all, at one fell swoop. But how was this to be effected with the least personal political injury ? By diplomacy he ascertained what the British were willing to do, and resolved on acceding to their terms. This would have been well enough, if there had been in it no treachery to friends. But the farce does not end here. .~ ... ~i 1 ~ ~: CRE STER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.
