LIFE INSURANCE OFFICE, boie LAN LIFE and 57, CHARING-CROSS, CUNDY'S PATENT OPEN FIRE VENTILATING STOVE. (Testimonial after one Winter's trial.) " St. John's, Fulham, May 2, 1846. "My dear Sir,—l have very great pleasure in giving my public testimony to the efficiency of your stove, as combining the double advantage of thoroughly warming and constantly ventilating any large church or building. Your invention appeared to me to be in theory all that could be desired, and I can honestly say that I have not yet discovered the point in which the practice falls short of the theory. " The area of my church is computed to be nearly 200,000 cubical feet, and, though a second stove will be required, the one already erected has fully answered my highest expectations, and realised all that you have given me to expect. If confirmation were needed for evidence of its efficiency, I might further state that I had peculiar difficulties to contend wiih—that various attempts had been made, and that every attempt had prcved a signal failure—that I was ex posed to the charge of boldness in attempting what had bellied others ; but that such is the power, the efficiency, and the comfort communicated by your stove, that I know not of a dissentient voice, and have heard only of approval with unanimous consent. " I night add, that I was first led to the snaking inquiry respect ug your stove having gathered indirectly that a disposition, not un favourable towards it, was entertained in a certain high quarter, where, on account of ability of discernment, the smallest approach to approval must carry with it great weight. " I remain, dear Sir, yours faithfully, "WILLIAM GARRATT, Minister of St. John's, Fulham. Established 1797. q tr i a l Attv r DIRZCTORS. Vr 4, gin., "d, Esq., M.P. J. A.

FL' AMP T ON'S I' 1L L OF HE A LTH The manifold advantages to the heads of families from the possession of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sick ness, occurring in families more or less every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every house holder in the kingdom. From among numerous tostmonials, the ollowing is respectfully submitted:— TO ~(R. THOMAS TROUT, 29, STRAND, LONDON. " s, cooper -street, Manchester, March 12, 1642. Sir,—l have much satistaction in communicating to you the re sult of my experience, after repeated trials, of FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH, and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of many years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from redundant bile, &c., &c.. with so little inconvenience; I am therefore, warranted in declaring that they supply to me a meanr ong wanting, of being able to recommend to families, schools, and especially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most valuable resource hi an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making FRAMPTON'S PILLS more generally known and appreciated. " I am, Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH." The unprecedentd sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest re commendations of the many thousands who have derived besent from their xse, render any lengthened comment necessary ; they are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well-knows at tendants, Bilious and Sick Headache, Pain and Oppression after meals, Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in Head and Ears, Drowsiness, leartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c Two or three doses will) convince the afflicted of their salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy az. ;la's f the Liver, Bowels, and Kidneys, will rapidly take place; twel instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance, stret.gth, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age, will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accempann yiipeach box.

" To the south was an open portico and colonnade, now closed up, and converted into separate rooms. " The grounds in front are ornamented with extensive plantations, which, united with the fine woods of the park, present to the eye an appearance of grandeur and magnificence, and, with the view of the river, has a most beautiful effect." At the Insolvency Court, Lincoln Castle, the other day, a labourer named Sleight Hill, petitioned to be dis charged:; he had no means of paying beyond his daily wages as a servant in husbandry to his father, and had incurred no debts, except that for which he was sued. His brother was in a small way of trade in London, and had induced him (the insolvent) to sign his name on a blink stamp, which he said would be filled up for 200/. ; the brother went into partnership, failed, and died soon after. The insolvent was sued on the note, which had been paid away, and was taken in judgment. The Learned Commissioner sentenced him to six mouths' imprisonment for hiving a false npparance of security, where none existed, and would have passed a heavier sen tence but from the absence of certain evidence about the bankruptcy.

GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL. The trial of Captain James Bull, of her Majesty's 57th Reginsent, by a general court-martial, commenced at Chatham barracks on Thursday, and was continued on Monday, the court each day being filled by officers of the garrison, and a number of civilians connected with the town. At the commencement of the proceedings on Thurs day, Captain Bull pleaded guilty to the charge preferred against him, but not to the prejudice of good order and military discipline. The prosecutor, Major Thomas Shadforth, previous to his evidence being taken, expressed to the Court the great regret with which h e: appeared against Captain Bull, who, he must acknowledge, had proved himself a good officer, and observed that he had been prompted to pursue the course he had taken only by a sense of public duty and a regard to the good of the service. The Major was then sworn, and stated in evidence, that he had come home with the head-quarters of the 57th Regiment from India. That on the 9th of July, 1846, they were lying at Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on board the barque Mary Ann ; that about midnight of that day Capt. Bull came to witness'scabin-door, and said, "Major Shadforth, Mr. Allen, the master of the ship, has reported to me that you came on board the ship in a state of intoxication, and I think it my duty to order you under arrest." Witness had then been in bed Upwards of an hour. On the follow • ing morning he went to the poop of the ship, when the prisorer came up to him and asked if he was aware that he had last night been ordered into arrest by him? Witness replied, " Yes; and it was a d— piece of im pertinence on your part, as you want to assume the com mand of the regiment. On this the prisoner went away, and witness, calling to the acting adjutant, Lieutenant Grant; desired him to send for the regimental pass-order book, and to insert therein that be wished to meet the whole of the officers at ten o'clock A.m. of that day. Lieutenant Grant refused to obey his orders; and witness, on leaving the poop, said in a loud tone to Cap tain Bull that his positive orders were that no officers of the regiment should leave the ship without his leave. Witness afterwards directed the Sergeant-Major of the regiment to insert the order in the pass-book for a meet ing of all the officers at ten o'clock. After breakfast Captain Stanley reported to him in writing that he had been placed in arrest by order of Captain Bull, and wit ness then found that the prisoner had left the ship, in disobedience of the orders which he had issued. Cap tain Bull remained absent till the next morning (the 11th), although he was detailed in the orders of the day of the 10th to take his regular turn of duty as captain of the day. The prisoner was here about to cross-examine the witness, but was told by the president that it was usual for the Court to put their questions first. To this Cap tain Bull demurred, and the Court was cleared; and on its being reopened, the president announced that it had been decided that the questions of the Court should be put first. In answer to various questions put by members of the Court, Major Shadforth stated that no meeting of the officers of the regiment took place, as he had ordered, on the morning of the 10th, in consequence of the absence of the prisoner and the acting adjutant, Lieutenant Grant. It was his intention to caution the prisoner officially as to his conduct at the meeting, if it had taken place, but the absence of the prisoner prevented him. Witness most decidedly did not relinquish the command of the regiment in consequence of the pri• Boner having placed him in arrest. It was his intention, after pointing oat to the prisoner his unjustifiable con duct, to have placed him in arrest, but he was prevented doing so on account of his absence from the vessel. In answer to a question as to what course he adopted to wards the prisoner on his return to the vessel (a question which the Major at first declined to answer, as leading to other matters already investigated), he stated that Captain Bull, on his return, brought a letter from toe acting Town-Major at Cape Town, desiring hies (the witness), by order of the Commandant, to consider him self in arrest, in consequence of a charge preferred against him by Captain Bull, till a court of inquiry should assemble to investigate the matter; that, in con sequence of this, he took no steps against Captain Bull till after the proceedings of the court of inquiry on him self, when, in consequence of orders contained in a letter from the acting Town-Major at Cape Town, he placed Captain Bull in arrest. It was usual, in the 57th Regi ment, for officers to sign pass-orders. On cross-examination by the prisoner, Major Shad forth stated that he had received, on the 11th of July, another letter from the prisoner, besides that which he had referred to and handed in ; but he could not say where it was, or whether it went with his other papers to the Adjutant-General. On the night on which pri soner ordered him into arrest witness did not deny that he was drunk, or remonstrate with prisoner. He de sired him to go to his bed. lie could not say what officer was with prisoner on that occasion, as his cabin door was but partially open. lie believed that the ab sence of the prisoner from the ship was occasioned by his having gone to Cape Town to report to the senior officer in command what had occurred on board on the night of the 9th. By the COURT—There was no light in witness's cabin on the night in question. Witness did not report Capt. Bull's absence from the ship to the military authorities at the Cape. lie considered he had no right to do so, having the command of the regiment ; besides, he was in Simon's Bay, upwards of 30 miles from Cape Town. Captain Edward Stanley, of the 57th Regiment, swore to his being placed in arrest on the night of the 9th of July by Lieutenant Grant. because he would not leave his cabin at twelve o'clock at night to be a party to what he considered a most irregular proceeding, viz., assist ing, by his presence, Captain Bull to assume the com mand of the regiment. Captain Bull was detailed, in the regimental orders, as the captain of the day for the the 10th; but he that day left the ship, and did not re turn till the following morning, when he told witness he had been to Cape Town, and had orders to place him in arrest. Lieutenant Grant told him that he had been desired by Captain Bull to order his attendance in the toddy, but witness refused; and he was then told that he was ordered by Captain Bull to place him in arrest. Witness had previously told Captain Bull that he would get no assistance from him in what he intended to do, as he would be no party to taking his commanding officer out of his cabin to see if he was drunk. He could not conceive the slightest reason for Captain Bull's inter ference with Major Shadforth's authority. Assistant-Surgeon Jackson spoke to the fact of Cap tain Bull having gone to Major Shadforth's cabin, as already described, on the night of the 9th, and the cap tain's absence from the ship next day. The Court adjourned at 4 o'clock. On Tuesday the Court opened at 10 o'clock, when the assistant-surgeon was again called, and stated that Captain Bull was near enough on the 10th to hear Major Shadforth's order that no officer should leave the ship. Captain Stanley was also recalled, and stated that Captain Bull had placed Lieutenants Hunt and Logan under arrest because he thought them drunk. One of them, to witness's own knowledge, was sober, and the other was only a little noisy. Sergeant-Major Jones deposed that on the morning of the 10th of July he received instructions from Lieut. and Adjutant Grant to receive all orders from Captain Bull, and to report to him accordingly. Afterwards went with the Adjutant to Captain Stanley's cabin, when the latter was placed in arrest by Captain Bull's orders. Witness further coiroborated previous witnesses as to what passed on deck next morning. On Captain Bull's return to the ship, he published in his regimental orders a garrison order from Cape Town, directing a court of inquiry; he also directed a resimental order for a court of inquiry on a private to be held the same day ; the regimental order of Captain Bull was afterwards can celled by Major Shadforth on his resuming the command of the detachment. Witness further spoke to the pass order book not being signed by Captain Bull. Private James Marlystes, who was orderly on the 10th of July, took the pass-order book to Captain Bull for his s ignature, but he refused, saying he had nothing to do with the orders.

It was a dark night when Major Shad forth came on board and fell. He could not exactly swear that his fall was caused by drunkenness but, to the best of his belief, it was. Was not aware that there was anything on deck over which the Major might pos sibly have tripped, but there might have been such a thing. Did not see any one assist the Major to rise, and cannot recollect whether there was any motion of the vessel on the occasion, or whether the deck was in a slippery state. Witness did nut go to Major Shadforth's cabin to see what condition he was in before he went to Captain Bull; and he did not notice in the ship's log the fact of the Major's intoxication. It being four o'clock, the Court adjourned. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PonTemourrn, DEC. 15.—Charles Holden, able seaman, of the Vengeance, 84, who fell off the maintopsail-yard, in furling sails yesterday, is going on favourably under the judicious treatment of the medical officers of the ship. When in the Retribution he had fallen out of the foretop, but received but little injury. Notwithstanding the Vengeance has no lower deck guns, or stores for such guns on board, nor a full complement of men, some wiseacre fancies she draws too much water to go out of this harbour, and accordingly the crew hare set to work to-day, after dinner, to pump the water out of the tanks, in the endeavour to lighten her to the draft of the sup posed depth of water on the bar. The Penelope steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, has got her complement, and will drop out to Spithead in a few days. In consequence of the " ragged regiments" which have recently been so numerously sent, from va rious parts, for the purpose of manning the ships in commission, and Capt a i n Gi ffar d hav i ng b ee n supplied with a sorry lot, he represented the case to the Com mander-in-Chief, setting forth the inefficiency of his ship's company; the result was, that a survey •was or dered to be held to determine whether the men com plained of were fit for sea service or not; accordingly, this day, Captains Pasco, of the Victory; Lushington, of the Vengeance; and - Lae, *Cale Cyclops; and Surgeons Acheson, of the Victory; Verling, of theVen geanee; and Williams, of the Cyclops, assembled on board the Penelope, and made an investigation or exa mination of the ship's company, who, in the opinion of the surveyors, were fit and able men for the service for which they had entered, and would be fonnd useful and good hands after a little drill and practice in the neces sary manual exercises. The Mercury tender, and Duck and Goodwill navy lighters, sailed to-day, the former for Poole and Wey mouth, to obtain volunteers for the navy; the second with stores for Plymouth; and the latter for the eastern yards with stores. _ _ WooLwica, Dxc. 15.—The Centaur steam-frigate, having taken on board a sufficient quantity of coals yesterday morning, went down the river on a short experimental trip, and when she had her full steam up to try her speed at the measured mile, in Long-reach, the wheelrope broke, and she came in contact with a collier, carrying away her own bowsprit and the head of her figure, and the jib-boom of the collier. The Centaur returned to Woolwich, and will leave to morrow (this day) for Portsmouth, to be fitted for sea. The Amphion steam-frigate, Capt. Williams, is ordered to be fitted with one of Porter's anchors, of 52 cwt., and it has been tested, and is now ready to be put on board. The Amphion is nearly ready for sea. The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, is hourly expected at Woolwich. It has been supposed by some that engines of 800• horse power are too large for vessels of the size of the Terrible, but they are sma ll i n com parison with two powerful engines of 600-horse power each, constructed at New York for a vessel to be named the George Washington, nearly the sine of the Great Western, and intended for the conveyance of the United States' mail between Bremen and New York via Cowes. The George Washington is also intended for naval service in case of necessity; and her contrac t ors antici pate being able to attain a rate of speed which will reduce the average term of the passage in steamers between England and New York to twelve days. The Southerner, a fine New York built steam-ship, employed in the coasting trade, has accomplished results which seem to warrant the expectations of the builders of the George Washington. THE EAST INDIA COLLEGE AT HAILEYBURY. On Tuesday, being the day appointed for closing the second term of 1846, a deputation from the Court of Directors of the East India Company visited the college, for the purpose of receiving the report of the Principal upon the literature and discipline of the term, and of distributing the medals and prizes awarded to the successful competitors in the various branches of Oriental, classical, and European literature.

The business of the day haring been coucludsd, the deputation and friends returned by special train to town. IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DEC. 14.—The weekly meeting of the Asso ciation, held this day, was very numerously attended. Amongst the more prominent leaders of the movement present were Mr O'Connell, M.P., N. Maher, M.P., Rev. Mr. Tierney, J. M. Mac Donnell, M.P., J. O'Con nell, M.P., E. Clements (barrister), R. A. Fitzgerald, M.P. On the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL, the chair was taken by Nicholas Maher, M.P. for Tipperary. The CHAIRMAN said he had intended to have alluded to some of the proceedings connected with Young Ire landism in the county of Tipperary, and to have cor rected some errors which had crept into the press with regard to that county, but as there was a shadow of hope that a reconciliation might take place with Young Ireland, he should not then discuss them. The Secretary having read the minutes of the last day's proceedings, Mr. O'CONNELL handed in a number of remittances, including 51., the renewed subscription of the Lion. Cecil Lawless. Mr. STEELE, at the - request of Mr. O'Connell, read a letter from Mr. Doheney, barrister, a leading member of the Young Ireland party, apologising for some ex pressions ho made use of at the recent meeting of the "leaders" at the Rotundo, reflecting on Mr. O'Connell. Mr. O'CONNELL could assure Mr. Doheney that the expressions he referred to did not hurt his (Mr. O'Con nell's) feelings. If his feelings were to be hurt by the abuse which was so constantly heaped upon him, he did not imagine that he would then be in existence.— (Laughter.) He was glad Mr. Doheney had written that letter, for his sake as well as his own. He forgave him, not as a Christian, which Sir Walter Scott said meant not at all, but he forgave him as a man, and as he hoped to be forgiven himself.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CLEMENTS read the following letter, addressed to the secretary of the association : "Blackhall-street, Dec. 14. " Sir,—ln enclosing 5/. as a renewal of my subscription to the association, I cau hardly refrain from expressing how cordially I agree with those who would have a re conciliation with the party that has seceded. I would also hope that the nick-names of Young Ireland,' and ' Old Ireland,' may be buried deep in the shades below,' and that the common brotherhood of being Repealers shall be a sufficient distinction for all parties in future. After the breach is made good, I, for one, won't be sorry at its having occurred, as it certainly has placed the moral force principles much more clearly before the mind of the country—indeed I might say of the world. "I humbly implore of the association, the only public political body in existence in Ireland, to lose no time in addressing the Government to open the Irish ports. " This is December, not July—the country has eight long months to struggle through before next harvest. Wheat is already at 435. per barrel, oats 225.; there is an immense diminution in the usual supply f eggs— poultry must follow—bacon can only be produced by the gentry for their own private consumption—beef and mutton must be substituted for these commodities, each doubtless shall run up to very high rates; the winter too is coming in severely, which must check out door labour. The Government will hardly refuse to give an additional impetus to the importation of foreign wheat into Ireland, particularly as last session its members would have sup ported. Sir Robert Peel in a like measure, when the cause for their doing so did not bear a fiftieth part of the pre sent emergency. Lord George Bentinck's party also declared in favour of a measure of the kind last session. The road is clear, the Government have the will to do, let them act then in the name of God. _ .., ~. " I trust this subject will meet with that consideration from the Association which its importance deserves.— I have the honour to be, sir, your very humble and obe dient servant, " ROBERT METCALF. _ _ " To T. M. Ray, Esq." Mr. O'CONNELL then rose to address the Association. He considered that on the last day of meeting he had accurately pictured the horrible state of destitution to which the country was reduced; but it appeared that they had not as yet reached the acme of the calamity.—(Hear.) Snow and frost had set in, and the evils of the country were consequently aggravated tenfold. It was horrible to think of the contents of the communications from the province of Connaught. Forty-eight deaths had already taken place from starvation in that portion of the island. About one hundred and thirteen letters had been received detailing these horrible facts. The deaths to which he alluded could not be imputed to any other cause but starvation, the results oe the coroner's in quests exhibited but too true a verification of the fact. It was with the deepest regret that he was obliged to announce that the mercantile classes had, As yet ,done nothing,_ The cities and great towns hkd not as yet met to take-means to provide for the safety of their in itelitants. He'hoped the hint he felt it his duty to throw out would not be lost, and, particularly so when it was considered that many houses had already amassed large fortunes by tha famine.—(Hear, hear.) He would call upon them, in the name of the forty-eight murdered human beings who had already fallen _victims to starva tion, to discharge the duties which their stations and means necessarily imposed upon them.—(Hear, hear.) The Times 'might sneer and laugh at him (Mr. O'Con nell), but, he asked, would it sneer at the sacrifice of forty-eight lives? That it would sneer at the fact he should not be surprised; such conduct would be quite suited to the spirit by which that infamous journal was actuated.(Hear.) He (Mr. O'Connell) would have to attend on this day, when he left the association, a pre paratory meeting of the landed proprietors of Ireland, and he trusted that their deliberations would be confined to the real question at issue, the condition of the coun try, and these gentlemen would not allow their judg ment to be carried away by their feelings to make any attack on the Government.—(Hear, hear.) This morning an account had come to hand which stated that an application having been made to an absentee landlord whe derived a large income from this country, for some assistance to relieve his tenantry, and that in dividual had sent but 31. for the purpose.—(Name, name). He would not mention his name as yet, but the moment he ascertained that the fact was correct he would not hesitate to do so.—(Cheers). He would submit to the association a letter which he had received from the Right Rev. Dr. Colne on the condition of the country, and which was well worthy of consideration : " Loughrea, Dec. 12, 1846. " My dear Mr. O'Connell,—As you always feel the deepest interest in promoting the welfare of Ireland, and are most anxious to alleviate not only the heart-rending calamities with which its inhabitants are at present visited, but also to prevent the recurrence of similar visitations hereafter, I hope you will excuse the liberty I take of submitting to your kind attention a few sug gestions, in hopes that, after being maturely considered by you, they may become the groundwork of a simple and efficacious plan to be submitted to Government, in order to realise so important and happy a consummation. "It appears that vast sums have been already ex. pended, and, it may now be naturally asked, what real advantage has resulted from such an expenditure of pub lic money ? I must in candour declare that, as far as I can perceive, very, very little, short of mere daily employment. Now, the plan which I recommend to remedy this evil would not only afford temporary relief, but also prevent a more alarming consequence, which must inevitably follow if such or some similar system be not speedily adopted by Government before the seed sowing season sets in. " I would divide the inhabitants of each parish into three classes ; the first comprising those who hold twenty acres of land and upwards ; the second those holding from ten to fifteen or upwards ; and the third holding about five acres and upwards. I would then recommend that a relief committee be appointed in each parish, composed of the clergy of each 'religious de nomination, and also of a few of the most respectable and intelligent of their parishioners, whose duty will be to form a list of the destitute therein contained, and recommend them for employment to the Board of Works in the following manner:—To each person comprised in the first class, ten labourers may be as signed, and placed under the control of the manager for agricultural or any ot,her useful works he may deem ex pedient, with an obligation of allowing each man one shilling per day ; for each person comprised in the second class, six labourers may be assigned . for the i aforesaid half tobe pa ipaid purposes, b by tr b h y ire,one Govern ment; those comprised in the third class to have three labourers assigned as above, they to 13e paid at the sole expense of the Government. According to this plan, employer, er,t.htehe sameothe thee an em d their soil will be duly prep ared for all a g ricultural pur poses, which otherwise will be totally neglected; but it will be of little use to prepare the soil, unless the poor people be supplied with seed ; it will therefore be the duty of the managing committee to ascertain, by per sonal inspection , the extent a nd nature of the soil which each person possesses, so as to be able to calculate pre cisely the quantity o f seed which may he requisite, and to furnish Government with a report of the same, in order that a necessary supply at cost price or lower prices (as the case may be) be provided with as little delay as possible. "Having thus alluded to an arrangement which will not only give employment to a great number of the des titute, but also make provision for agricultural wants during the approaching spring, should any still remain unemployed they can be placed under the superin tendence of the board established for draining, culti vating, and reclaiming waste lands, the expenses of which are to be defrayed by the head landlord, as ex plained by Mr. Labouchere's letter.—l have the honour to remain, my dear Mr. O'Connell, with sentiments of the highest respect and esteem, your very humble and obedient servant, " THOMAS COLNE. " Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P." It would be desirable (continued Mr. O'Connell) that the names of the gentry who had come forward to assist an d support the people — it w er e well that those who had s o nobly exerted thems elves to alleviate the condition of their suffering fellow-countrymen should be recorded, a nd likewise that those who had remained b ackward should likewise figure in an infamous list.—(Hear, hear.) i I n conclusion the Hon. Gentleman m oved that it be re ferred to a com mittee to ascertain the names of d; ffel all, rent Ireland, l a nded proprietors in the various counties in d distinguishing the residents from the absentees, who had contributed to the relief of the poor, specifying the names, sums subscribed, and the amount, as far as it could possibly be ascertained, of their several rentals. Some subscriptions having been handed in, Mr. O'CONNELL again rose an d said, he wished to make a few observations on the present prospect of the affairs of the association. He came there that day anxious for conciiiation —anxious to work out conciliation, and to show to the people of Ireland who those indivi duals were that prevented or retarded that conciliation. —(Hear, hear.) There was one magic in politics, and that was to be right, and to put your enemies in thu wrong. He had been as=ailed for making offers of a reconciliation ; and it had been insinuated that he was afraid of Young Ireland—that that party had gained a triumph over him ; but he thought, and with justice, that the triumph was on his side. He had been told that he had conceeded too much ; but he had not conceded anything at all. It was true he was anxious for a conference ; and, with the view of effecting the object, he held out the olive branch of peace and the right hand of friendship.—(Cheers.) Who, he would ask, should be the first to make an offer of reconciliation? The man who is in the wrong could not certainly do it. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to advert to the secession, and having expressed his anxiety for a recon ciliation, stated to the meeting that he had deputed a most respectable clergyman (the Rev. Dr. Miley) to wait upon Mr. Smith O'Brien, at his seat in the country, for the purpose of inducing that gentleman to aect de to the offers of reconciliation that were held out ; but that he had totally failed in his mission. Mr. O'Connell then mad to the meeting a letter from Dr. Miley, describing the details of his interview with the Honourable Mem ber for Limerick. Mr. ()'Connell having commented on the refusal of Mr. O'Brien to accede to the terms pro posed, concluded by saying that his proposition had been hailed throughout the country with acclamation ; that it had received the sanction of every sensible and 'well-disposed man in Ireland ; and that if his efforts to restore unanimity were not successful, the fault was not his. Alderman O'BRIEN, M.P., Mx. J. O'CONNELL, and other gentlemen having addressed the meeting, the rent for the week was announced to be 101/. The meeting then adjourned. EMPLOYMENT ON PUBLIC WORKS. The following is an official return of the persons em ployed in one county, and a more curious and important return has seldom been published in our columns : " COUNTY OF LONGFORD-EMPLOYMENT OF THE LA- D URING POOR UNDER THE BOARD OF WORKS. " Weekly return, ending November 28, 1846, showing the number of men, women, boys, &e., employed in the six baronies of the county of Longford : Able- bodied men Infirm ditto Women Boys Artificers 37,002 489 3,030 75 Total persons employed Horses employed Asses Carts Number of projects at work 113 4,247 4,373 217" The following is the return of the staff of the Board ofWorks in the county ofLongford for the same week:— " Inspecting officers, 2; county surveyor, 1; assistant engineers, 6; pay clerks, 6; cheque clerks, 7; overseers, 217: total, 239." The whole official staff, including the overseers of labourers, only amounts to 239, to manage 40,665 la bourers. The most extraordinary fact, in reference to the re turn, is this, that the total population of the county of Longford, according to the census of 1841, was 115,491. Out of this gross population the Board of Works is now giving employment to 40,665, more than one-third of the entire! And still more works arc called for. The amount presented at the baronial sessions in the county of Longford was for 45,3721. for roads, &c.; 8,8481. for draining, &c. Total, 54,2211. Of this the amount sarctioned by the Board of Works, up to Nov. 28, was 34,6301. PUGILISTIC CONTEST FOR TWO HUNDRED SOVEREIGNS A-SIDE. CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE LIGHT WEIGHTS. The anxiously-looked-for trial of fistic skill between Johnny Walker, of London, and Samuel Simmonds, of Bii mingham, was on Tuesday brought to issue at Laken ham-heath, a "pastorale in A flat," of some dozen or two square miles in extent, on the borders of fenny Cambridgeshire, and the vast levels of .Suffolk and Nor folk, the mile potts marking 841 rrriltssfrom ShllrYditch. Of the orderlysNaad excellent madhett in which the ar rangements fur a special train to covey the expectant champions and their patrons to the spot we have not space to speak; suffice it - to say tlikt Mildenhall, in Suffolk, at which' place a convenient ground had beeti marked out and cleared of snow, having, by some misunderstanding, been passed, the three-hundred "specials" alighted at Lakenham, and there, at a little before noon (in the vicinity of an accommodating rick-yard, whence liberal supplies of dry straw were reasonably retailed) the veteran commissary staked out a spacious outer and inner ring. The hitherto unsullied mantle of wintry snow, which clothed the frost-bound field, was soon shovelled and swept away, and all having taken their places—the aristocratic patronssnugly seated around the inner circle, the appointed ring police with outside them, forming a guard to protect their privileged persons from the intrusion of the rustic and civic " roughs," and the ring reporters, umpires, and referee withinside all, close to the roped quadrangle—Simmons first cast up his cap at 25 minutes past twelve, which signal of defiance was promptly answered from the opposite side by that of the London man. It was observed by the curious in omens that Simmons's cap fell short at the first toss, and required a second exertion to throw it inside the ropes. Walker was esquired by Jem Turner and Wharton (Young Molyneux) ; the Birmingham hero by Evans " of that ilk" and Harry Broome. In weight there was little disparity, Walker barely drawing 9st. 71bs., while Sim monde touched 9st. 911b5., and had the advantage in length of reach and height of stature. Their toilette completed, the men shook hands at thirty minutes after twelve, and immediately commenced offensive and de fensive manoeuvring. The style of Walker, who, con trary to expectation, followed his opponent into his corner, was finished and artistic, his attitude easy, and his motions, as he drew and feinted the provincial cham pion, displayed all the tact and readiness of the sparring professor. Simmonds, on the other hand, though em barrassed and awkward, and evidently puzzled at the " forcing" mode adopted by his skilful antagonist, looked powerful, dangerous, and eager for an opening; no sooner did he perceive what he supposed to be an opportunity than he let go his left, Walker jumped back, and got in his own left in return ; this he quickly repeated, and finished the round by throwing his man, after lifting him by the waistfrom the ground. The second and third rounds were similar in character, save that Simmonds once got Walker undermost in the close. It was thus early evi dent that Walker could deliver his left hand ad libitum, and that he was too clever to allow Simmonds to make his lunging right; this, of course, soon told its tale, the unfortunate Simmonds became receiver-general, and Walker, determined to carry out his attack, never left him alone, jobbing him repeatedly with the left, until the twelfth round (the longest in the battle), when, after administering repeated visitations, he gathered up his right, and met the rush of Simmonds with such stinging severity, by an up hit, that the latter fell forward, a beaten men. Loud shouts from the London division greeted the triumph of their favourite, on the announce ment of " time" being expired, and Simmonds unable to obe_y the call. Thirty-one minutes sufficed for this decisive and rapid defeat, from which must be deducted three minutes consumed in an appeal to the referee as to an alleged " foul " in the eighth round on the part of Sim monds, which was overruled. In brief, the Brum. was so decidedly inferior, both at in-fighting, out-fighting, and throwing, that the battle became from the second round such a one sided affair, that speculation ceased, and the question of whether it would last half an hour or an hour alone was mooted. Shortly after three, two hours having been burnt to waste by the usual lack of punctuality observable on the Eastern Counties line, a steam steed bowled into sight, and both the belligerents, with their joyous or despondent partisans, were safely landed in the great metropolis. Walker, on his arrival, was without scar, scratch, or contusion, so far as his frontispiece was concerned, but Simmonds's title-page bore disfiguring proofs of the dexterity with which a London "head-hitter" can make his mar k. Th e r i ng was admirably kept by the appointed " ring police , " and the order and regularity of the assemblage far exceeded 'hat commonly seen on less exciting occasions.

Mr. Wagstaff, junior church warden, was in the chair. After the discussion of some routine business, Mr. M'Gahey, clerk to the board, read a letter from the Poor-law Commissioners, in which they desired to be furnished wifh certain returns of the parochial expenditure of St. Pancras. On some members objecting to its being furnished, Mr. Prendergast said that it would not do to play " fast and hose" with the Commissioners, for by their concessions to the Poor-law Commissioners on former occasions they bad, in his opinion, committed themselves, and formed a precedent. Still he would advise the board of guardians to obtain the best legal advice as to their power to refuse the re quest of the CommissiOners, and should the legal opinion be favourable to the directors to resist the Commis sioners to the utmost. Mr. Morris said he would only furnish the Commissioners with such information as \they were legally entieed to. Mr. Bermingham and Mr. Crouch thought that the Commissioners by this request had no sinisfer intention of extending their authority, but merely sought for such statistic informa tion as the Legislature required. The following resolu tion was then proposed and carried, viz. :—" That the returns be made in the usual way." After tho usual 1 business the board separated. ,kfARE MAR Th. .:':-.4'irs--; ) LIVERPOOL, Discracnan 15. 4 `• - •1 " - STOCK Excasarrax.-The sales are-Birken ' , JAW-4- r =7- 5" . • shire, and Cheshire Junction, 1% pirmingha • - t: lay, 5% p.-Birmingham a nd .-B Oxford Juncti on , ton, Stamford, and Birmingham, 1 4 p.-E as t h ' SA/MP New (Nos. 1 and 2), 3% p.-Ditto, New (scrip), 1% p.- Glasgow and Dumfries, 1 1 4 p.-Leeds and D ews b ury Ex tension (green), 1U p.-Leeds and Thirsk, Preference, 7 t i p. -Liverpool, Manchester, and.

The following has been received at Lloyd's, from the Hy drographic-office:— "COAST OF NOVA SCOTIA.—REVOLVING LIGHT ON BEAVER ISLAND. " A revolving light has been established on the south-east part of the outer Beaver Island, on the coast of Nova Scotia. The light revolves every two minutes, during which it is visible one minute and a half, and invisible the remaining half minute. ,It stands 70 feet above the sea, and may therefore be seen 15 miles. The lislithouse is a rectangular white building, with two black balls painted on its seaward face. It stands in latitude 44 deg. 48 min. N., and lon. 62 deg. 20 min., west of Green wich. _ _ " The light bears from the Outer Bird Leyde W. 34 S. (May), 4V 2 miles; from the Beaver Shelf N.W., 1% mes ; from the Yankee Jack E. 3 / 4 N., 8 miles ; from the Light house Black (or Harbour) Rock bears N. % W., 3 miles. " Vessels intending to run for Beaver Harbour should give the Lighthouse Island a berth of three-quarters of a mile, to avoid a rock which projects from it to the eastward." SOUTH-WEST LIGHT ON ST.
