It matters little what may cutthe reader's opinion of the plot, incidents, and _knit the tragic ,urtracters-40 many all may appear objectionable ; first dozen interest awakened by the perusal of the pages the first volume, will not cease to tube felt before tl,,e conclusion of the third. It would vztzhl e a ore to discover the moral inculcated fietion—if indeed the inculcation of any formed .oi""ini design of the( fair authoress. The crime tit l y e heroine is ambition ; but it developes itself so v e t a nd Operat es so unnaturally, that though we are 1 far from enterta i ning exalted views of the per tability of human natur th at th ey e, yet are we o f op i n i on for?there do es not ex i st an individual to whom her W ould Con vey a necessary moral lesson.

The sub conduct of Catherine Maxwell, then Lady have emordy„ , with respect to Arundel, proves her to been a very worthless woman. Such was the re al ch ar with which we traced the development of her s ebarap t that we could not help regretting the or~aadful occurrence which left her without an enemy, e ccaupetitor for the honours of a noble house. ao n d ;neither is not more amiable than the daughter, i 8 Imp° hough Elizabeth Murray is a superior person, it her With ble not to f ee l t h at the authoress has d rawn a ornan.lTlOrc of the real characteristics of a man than Th e fill clu conclusion to whi c h we h ave come, on a care -I)sarl of these volumes, is that Mrs. Trollope is much better acquainted with the real chaiaciel• of our sex, than she is with the- genuine tie Weliligs, and impulses of her own, Whin coarseness about the nli " (18.4 all ter women, which is very ciispleaSina. .of Arundel is perhaps 'AM ; pro bably because we ~ .qtly tAtch a glimpse of the drapery of th , : Nevertheless, the .

Yet I have failed. I have bowed and bent my lofty head before a phantoni—which by men is called 'mercy, but by angels vvealttless. How easily, while he was yet in puling infancy, could I have helped the feeble spirit to pass, and sink Way, into th e res t i t seeme d to p i ne for ! ' But, as if Aril/tiling were infectious, I watched them prop his weakness day by day, contented to perceive it was weakness still, and fondly hoping nature would do my work. It was my work—l was hotind by a solemn promise to my own soul to recover what he had snatched from me—or to perish. The deep sea and the wide vault of heaven heard the vow ; and had I not felt, or fancied within my young bosom, the power to keep it, I would, at the awful moment it was made, have sprung from the friendly height, and sought eternal rest in the white-crested wave that rose nt its foot to meet me. And I will keep it, though like a shrinking coward I have turned from the short, bold path that led direct to its accomplishment But art and skill shall yet regain what cowardice has lost I cannot touch his 1ife......at least not now—not here. " He is, then, Earl of Tremordyn, and I am still Augusta Delaporte I The thought . is poison to the sweet blood of life, but not without its antidote. He is too fragile to live long,—and he loves so well to breathe away his soul upon his flute (it is the only music that I ever loved to hear !) that I have but to seek some youthful shepherdess to doat upon its sound, and like a swan, the boy will pipe himself to death. But never shall another child snatch the coronet from my brow —never, by heaven ! Here I make the vow—the strange, wild blast shall echo it—if neither time nor place' shall make themselves, I will make both I will not vow to kill him-- that is not now, I think, within my power—but Ido vow, and strictly will I keep it, that never child o f hi s s h a ll wear the hor.ours that now hang loosely on him, like a stolen garment ; and also will I vow, that I will die Countess of Tremordyn, though I should live such, but one poor hour.. This page is record of my oath, and if I keep it not, may my bones lie un honoured, far from my father's tomb, and neither brass nor marble tell that I have ever lived." Mr. Beaumont, the wealthy M.P. for the county of Northumberland, gave his farewell dinner, at his house in Grosvenor-place, on Thursday, previously to his departure for the north. Mr. Beaumont's lead mines, in the comp. tics of Northumberland and Durham, are at present most prosperous ; and from the current price of lead it is said they yield a clear revenue of sixty thousand pounds per an num. This is in addition to Mr. Beaumont's vast free hold estates in Yorkshire and elsewhere. MR. O'CoNNEr.r..---An invitation has been sent to invite Mr. O'Connell to accept a public dinner in this city. It is fully expected that he will accept the invitation, and that he will be here about the latter end of next week. Mr. James, of Barrock-lodge (formerly M.P. for this city), has consented to take the chair ; and we cannot doubt, from the great interest which has been already excited, but it will be one of the most numerously attended dinners ever seen in Carlisle.—Carlisk Journal. HAMILTON, SEPT. 12.—The Marquis of Dou glas and Clydesdale, after an absence of two years, arrived at Hamilton Palace last night. Immediately on his arrival, which was announced by the firing of cannon at Chatlehe rault, the bells of the town were, by direction of the magis trates, set a ringing. On Monday last the Rev. Dr. Mayor, Vicar of Woodstock, was elected Mayor of that borough for the tenth time.—Orford Herald. Mr. Truebody of Gloucester, whose melancholy death from a fall, was stated in our last, was buried by the side of sixteen of his children by one wife. He has left five children living. NATURAL CRITICISM.—I always listen with plea sure to the remarks made by country-people on the habits of animals. A countryman was shown Gainsborough's cele brated picture of the pigs. "To be sure," said he, " they be deadly like pigs ; but there is one fault—nobody ever saw three pigs feeding together, but what one on 'em had a foot in the trough."—Jesse's Gleanings. THE SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD.—The following specimen of orthography was actually sent by the overseer of a parish not many miles from Durham to one of the parishioners :—" May 6.—Thes is to giv Notce that Ther will be a Paredge meters On wedensda night at Willim —s to Satel the Bokes and to mak Som alter ashens in the Pour Rats." ORANGEISM IN THE ARMY.-Major Anderson, 50th Regiment, destroyed the warrant of an Orange Lodge in that corps in 1830.

The New York banks have given notice that here after they will charge discount at the rate of 7 per cent. on paper which has more than 60 days to run before ma turity. SHOOTING EXTRAORDINA RY.=—Lord Suffield and Lord Gardner killed at Gunton Park, on the 16th instant, 69 brace of patridges ; on the 17th, 113 brace ; and on the 18th, 100 brace, besides hares and rabbits, making in all 282 brace by two guns in three days, which, added to their never beginning before 12 o'clock, makes it for the time one of the most extraordinary performances on record. ANGLING EXTRAORDINA RY.-- A few days ago a brother of the " hook and line," in the neighbourhood of Little Dunkeld, when angling with fly on the river Braan, and keenly intent on the " glorious nibbles" he was receiv ing, was much surprised to feel, when in the act of throw ing his line overhead, a strong resistance in the airy element. On looking round he was astonished beyond measure to find that a house swallow was attached to his line. The poor creature was, of course, easily pulled down from the airy regions, and on examination it was found that the hook was securely fixed by the side of its beak—from which circum stance there cannot be the shadow of a doubt but the swallow had mistaken the artificial fly for a natural one. The angler very humanely after extracting the hook, let go the insnared without injury, and betook himself to his former more substantial though not more interesting sport. —Perthshire Courier. EATING FAST.—The habit of eating fast and care lessly is supposed to have paralized Napoleon on two of the most critical occasions of his life—the battles of Borodii.o and Leipsic, which he might have converted into decisive and influential victories, by pushing his advantages as he was wont. On each of these occasions he is known to have been suffering from indigestion. On the third day of Dresden, too, the German novelist Hoffman, who was pre sent in the town, asserts that the Emperor would have done much more than he did, but for the effects of a shoulder of mutton stuffed with onions.— Mirror.

PRESENTATION OF A ifial,fEtt SASE TO MR. O'CONNELL, AND SOIREE. • EDINBURGH, SATURDAY. A rtleding Was Oda day held ) at a very short notice, in the News Room of the Waietloo Hotel, for the purpose of presenting to Mr. O'Connell a silver vase, at u tribute from the United Irishmen of Edinburgh, in admiration of a: , a;,..4-oishcd services which the Hon. and Learned . , iia 3 / 4 1 rendered to of civil and religious liberty. MAW. , hag -past one Mr. O'Connet; er.!ered, and was received with loud eigkirs , Silence having been oti tained, the President of the Society rose, and, after a few prefatory Temarks, proceeded to read an address which had been ai•ai; , ll np by the Society for the occasion. The address, which was exceeEizlY well written, was very com plimentary, and dwelt with great - 'force upon the judi: Claus conduct of Mr. O'Connell during the "st Session , observing, that lie had forgotten Ireland for a season, in order that the common cause of liberty over the three kingdoms might be secured a more certain triumph. The President having concluded, preaeated the cup and the ad dress into Mr. O'Connell's hands amid loud eliceriCg. The ctip Was of very handsome workmanship, weighing fifty ounces, of the fade of 301. The lid was surmounted by a plain old Irish harp, and on one of the sides was the fol lowing inscription, surrounded by wreaths of shamrocks :- 1 * Preaented by the United Irishmen of tditibutgh to D. O'Connell, Esq., M.P., the Liberator of Ireland, and the friend of man, in testimony of their attachment td him, and to the principles of his public life, and in grateful ac knowledgment of those exertions by which they, in common with the Irish nation, have been restored to civil and reli gious liberty." , The cheering having subsided, Mr. O'CONNELL rose, and spoke to the following effect : —lt may appear strange, that at such a meeting as this, and in reply to such an address, I should begin with a complaint. Yet I do, for in that address it is stated that I forgot Ireland for a moment. Now, I never did. No nitottient of my life have the wrongs of Ireland gone out of mind.--(Cheem) Front the period of my earliest infancy to the " sear and yeilovt leaf" of life, the thought of Ireland has been ever with rric i het wrongs, her sufferings, her rights, have been the constant fhente of every wish and as piration of' my heart. She has ever titan icy waking dream by day, and my sleep by night, A specks of policy may have induced you to suppose that, engrossed with other ob jects, I had forgot Ireland for a moment ; but oh !believe a me, that the thought of Ireland , the good of Lreland., never ceased to occupy my mind every day a nd every 1,:.:111r and has uniformly been the prevailing motive of my con duct. He who has to assail the wild beast of the forest, advances not direct against the monster, for if he do he perishes in the contest. If there be not a using of stratagem, in order to obtain the object, the monster of‘despotistni as in England, with one hundred and seventy heads and no heart —4Tremendous cheering)—will be certain to lay hittl lifostrate: My present policy is to cir cumvent that monster ; to him not unawares but with the strongest collection of force Oil every side that I can ; and if I appear for a moment to forget the immediate cause of Ireland, I only enhance the triumph of that country by ensuring advantage to England, freedom to Scotland, and blessings to Ireland.—(Cheers.) The dottioton interest of all ought to be the language of patriotism—the universality of the benefit ought to be the stimulant of the men who work fearlessly for the public—and the spirit of universal benevolence and affection, and that which the charity of our common Christianity, and the dictates of the God who shall judge us all, imprint on the human mind as the first of his commandments, But when I was born the riath'es of Ireland—the descendants of the chiefs of old—were marked with the brand of slavery and degradation, and the Roman Catholic was only allowed to breathe and to labour in his native land. I could not endure that we should be stig matized for conscience and Our country's sake. I early re gistered a vow in Heaven that I should never submit to it— and a beginning to withstand it was made with a few, the fiftieth part of the number present in this room—and by in cessant energy and perpetual agitation, and a righteous cause, I did make Ireland combine, and the voice of seven millions burst forth, like the thunder of the Heavens, and affrighted the inmost souls of Peel and Wellington.--(lm mense cheering.) But remember how it was achieved. It was not on any narrow or sectarian principle. I think my own religion the best or I would not adhere to it ; but I respect the sincerity of every other man's religi ous professions, and I esteem man only according to the measure of the strength, sense, and religious impres sion of his mind, whatever be the form of faith which his con science dictates.—(Oreat cheering.) The principle which I assert is the universal right of freedom and of conscience. Religion ought to exist only between man and his God, and no fellow-mortal has a right blasphemously to interfere between the created and the Creator, whose name be for ever blessed ! The first step we Catholics took, was suc cessful in obtaining for the Protestant Dissenters- in England an admission into the Constitution, befiqe we opened the doors for ourselves. And when we succeeded after wards, we succeeded after asserting our principles for others ; and we came in free from the taunt of bigotted attachment to our own faith, although our sincerity was undoubted. — (Cheering.) But how, my countrymen, did we achieve this ? Was it by violence ? No. Was it by turbulence ? No, S%'as it by stimulating to crime, or appealing to force ? No. Did we shed one drop of human blood? No. Did we even create one single pang Of pain, except in the minds of the bigots who ought to be a little vexed ?Laughter.) No. I appealed to the people of Ireland, and told them that an obedience to the laws was their strength—that ill& gal acts would tarnish their cause, and give power over them to their enemies. I told them that secret societies and ille gal oaths are crimes most prevalent, which in some degree, however, may be palliated in a country where justice u as a name, and mercy a mockery—(Great cheering)—but that they were the more criminal for entering into such combinations, because by doing so they afforded better opportunity for the enemy to traffic in the blood of their deluded victims. -- (Loud cheering.) Secret and illegal societies I banished everywhere, and when ever I address my countrymen, I condemn them emphati cally. When any man belongs to an illegal society, he puts himself in the power of every individual who may steal into it. The informer has only to accuse any person in that society to any extent of criminalty he pleases, and the accused is without a witness, but if he produces one who is able to swear to the contrary, the moment that witness ap pears he is accused as co-guilty of the same secrecy, and thus a secret society delivers up its members bound hand and foot, to the audacity and avarice of the blood-stained informers.—(Loud cheers.) I succeeded in Ireland in put ting them down. I appealed not to the malevolent spirit of thousands who were ready to engage in warfare, in battle and violence ; but I appealed to fathers who were affec tionate and attentive to their children---I appealed to bro thers who loved and took care of their sisters-4 appealed to the sons who revered their aged mothers, and the mo ral worth of Ireland rallied around me. England, Scotland, and Ireland are making great progress, because they are making it peaceably and constitutionally. Englishmen are ameliorating their condition as they improve the arts and sciences, not by idle experiment, but in the sober steps of rationality ; and they are looking forward to the gradual improvement of their institutions. The sensible people of Scotland are imitating them, and the ardour and enthu siasm of the Irish mind is softening down into a steady pursuit of the same object. My efforts now are to lessen the burdens of the British people ; to direct the stream of taxa tion into its proper channel, and take away the burdens from the working classes, to take away taxation from la bour and from the commodities that are necessary to life, as well as from the beings that produce them, and place it solely on property. Until that period shall arrive the coun try will not be in a flourishing condition,—until this country, like America, be free from taxation,—until we can hail the day when taxation is at an end, and the national debt ex tinguished for ever.—(Cheering.) In the meantime, to re vive the thoughts of the green land of my birth, I shall soon display this cup to my grandchildren, clustering around me, and as they admire its workmanship and the purity of its materials, they will have one lesson more to teach them of what inestimable value it is to the humblest talent and the lowest of human beings, to be always honest and always energetic.—(Cheering.) If I have a protestation to make it is this--that I cannot love Ireland more than I do at this moment. I never lay my head on my pillow at night without thinking that I might haN e done more to forward her cause during the day, and I never rise at morn without aspirations to Providence for her liberty and her hapPne I then - meditate how during the day I can do most good to the loved land of my birth, and here am I now labour ing in that very vocation.—(Cheers.) You cheer me—my labours afford you satisfaction, for I do my best to serve your country and mine. —(Cheers.)

The snow of sixty winters have passed on my head, but my heart is as young as when I first entered life— (Cheers)—and my spirit as untired, and I am afraid that you will think that even my tongue is as untired as my spirit.—(Cheers and laughter.) But there is one animat ing thought, and that is to free our common Christianity from the stain of persecution—to preach to all sects and persuasions the doctrine of mutual feeling and affection, and _t? procl a i m to every Ch r i st i an t h a t h e never can conv i nce hlsneighbour of error by ca l u mniating or persecuting him ; and that form of Christian faith must be the best that leads most to the practice of charity, which conduces most to hu man affecti on , an d to acts of human ki n d ness, an d to the good of every c l ass , co l our, cree d , an d or d er. —(L oud cheers.) I thank you sincerely for this splendid token of your approba tion and regard. I shall treasure it with Agrateful recollec tion of your love. It shall always bring t o ‘ my recollection the scenes which I have witnessed since I came into Scot , land, and I call on my countrymen to show thek gratitiale FATAL SEA-SICKNESS.—During the furious storm on Friday, a lady on board a steamer proceeding to Margate, of a delicate constitution, became extremely sea-sick, and from violent retching burst a blood-vessel, which caused her death. CRIEFF.—The body of an English gentleman, who had been on a tour to tins part of the country, was found last week in Loch Earn, near its eastern extremity. His portmanteau he had left. at the inn at Comrie, which he left to visit the Loch one day, and did not return. The deceased was genteelly dressed, but only threepence was found in his pockets, and no clue was found to his name or address, or to the cause of his death, whether accidental or premeditated.—Edinburgh Evening Courant. A few days ago, a man residing at Birtles, Cheshire, was so affected at the discovery that he had been drinking water from a rivulet where a dead pig was found in a state of putrefaction, as to break an internal blood vessel from the violent vomiting which ensued.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. Movements of a riotous tendency have manifested themselves at Burlington, N. J. According to a paragraph in the Philadelphia Inquirer, it appears that a coloured man, who is known as a porter, in attendance upon the steam-boats, had rendered himself so obnoxious to a portion of the inhabitants of that place, that they determined to expel him from the city. In pursuance of this intention, a collection of persons assembled before the house of a co loured man, supposing it to be that in which the porter above-mentioned resided. They proceeded to throw stones at the windows, and manifest other feelings of hostility, when the occupant of the house seized a musket and fired upon the assailants. One man received several buckshot in his shoulder, and two others were slightly injured. Here the contest terminated, for the time at least ; and the per son who discharged the gun was subsequently arrested and conveyed to Mount Holly Jail.—American Paper. JUDGMENT.—On the 29th ult. a man employed in a manufactory at Birmingham, was charged with some mis conduct, which he denied, and called God to witness that he wished he might be struck deaf, dumb, and blind if he had done it. No sooner had the words escaped his lips, than his wish was granted—he was struck deaf, dumb, and blind ; and in this state he remained until the following day, when he expired THE SHOOTING SEASON.—Brief as has been the period since the commencement of the shooting season, numerous are the accidents which have already occurred, through want of caution, in carrying and using loaded guns. In addition to two very serious ones, by which two indivi duals have had to submit to the amputation of their arms, our columns this day also record the melancholy death of John Wordsworth, Esq., of Milnes Bridge, a gentleman universally respected.—York Herald. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last, at Hythe, King, Esq.. on returning from a day's shooting, handed his gun to a servant to discharge it, when the poor fellow, having placed it to his shoulder, the piece burst, and lite rally blew out his brains.—Dover Chronicle. The proprietors of fiacres and cabriolets in Paris have unanimously agreed to fix the fare for each drive of a fiacre at one fr., and that of a cabriolet at 15 sous. The cabriolets de regie will charge one fr. The fare by the hour will not be changed. The proprietors have applied to the Prefect of the Police for the ratification of their tarif, and at his requisition have consented in writing that no increase shall be made in the charges until the year 1845. The new fares will be charged from the Ist of October. BRUTAL ATTACK.—On Tuesday night last, a carman, named Timothy Hickey, when on his way from this town to Carrick, was attacked near Balladine by an other carman of the name of Daniel Connery, who beat him in a very severe manner with stones, and stabbed him in both arms with a knife. The attack resulted from an old pique, Hickey having prosecuted him about twelve months previously for a similar attack. Connery has absconded.— Clonniel Advertiser. Yesterday, Sarah Meyers, who it will be recollected attempted to poison herself, was brought before Mr. Be net, at Hatton-garden, by Sergeant Campbell, of the E division, on her discharge from the North London Hospital, when several persons acquainted with her attended. Mr. Benet said that he had seen her mother, and he regretted that she refused to take her back in- consequence of the irregularity of her conduct. It was stated that her mother received 931. a-year frOm the property to which the girl would eventually be entitled, and that she was entitled to 201. a year. Mr. Benet directed that she should be taken to Lambeth workhouse, and her case properly investigated. HORRIBLE AND WANTON MURDER.—The cir cumstances under which this most atrocious murder has been committed, are of such a wanton character, and full of such innate and fiendish 'brutality, and recklessness of hu man life, that one would imagine that we were living amongst the most uncultivated and wildest parcel of savages that earth ever bore on its surface. • In fact, the contem plation of them is so appalling and dreadful that we shrink from it with.uttee. abhorrence. The following are the facts as they have reached us, from a quarter on which the strictest reliance can be placed—we give the exact words of our correspondent On Saturday night last, between the hours of twelve and one o'clock, a large party of armed miscreants went to the dwelling-house of Mr. Martin Fitz gerald, of Jessfield, contiguous to Ballingarry, barony of Slievardagh, and succeeded in effecting an entrance through the barn window, where a servant-man was sleeping. They roused him from his sleep, and ordered him to tie up a greyhound for them which had been there ; he said he would rather die than let it go, when one of the savages in stantly, and without further provocation, levelled his gun at the poor fellow and shot him through the heart. The as sassins then departed, and left a gun with a screwed bayonet in the barn after them."—e/onritel Advertiser. ATTEMPT TO COMMIT HIGHWAY ROBBERY. — We have not for many years had occasion to record so daring an outrage, in the neighbourhood of Chelt en ham, as was perpetrated on the evening of Tuesday last, within four miles of the town, on the Winchcomb Road : when, as Mr. White was riding homeward two ruffians stopped him, and demanded his money. He succeeded in keeping his seat, and struck the villain who held the bridle so violent a blow across the head and face, with the heavy whip he carried, that the fellow was stunned and obliged to let go the reins ; but his companion pulled Mr. White from the saddle, and the miscreants kicked him in the back brutally, and inflicted several severe bruises on his person.. He still, however, re tained his hold of the bridle ; and the horse, making a vio lent plunge forward, dragged him out of their grasp, and to some distance along the road ; and he thus succeeded in reaching home in sa f e t y , b u t suffering dreadfully from the blows he had received in the struggle. He bad, at the time, a considerable sum of money in his purse, and though his assailants wer e mos t pro b a bl y aware o f th e f a ct, and in stigated by the h o p e o f they were most f ortunate l y di sappo i nte d o f t h e i r booty.-.

We anticipate Scotland, and will you ioke my pledge that I will, to the utmost, exert myself for Ireland, and that the interests of Scotland shall ever be dear to me ? Mr. O'Connell then sat down amid loud and continued cheering. A Deputy, who had been sent from now rose and said—that he had been appointed to the honour of present ing Mr. O'Connell an Address from Kelso, which hoped would show that the South of Scotland equally appreciai.ed the talents of Ireland's Liberator. He then proceeded to read the Address, which was of considerable length, and which set forth, in very eloquent terms, the services which Mr. O'Connell had rendered to Ireland and to the cause of Reform, and denouncing the obstacles which had been thrown in the way of further ameliorations ; and assuring the Hon. and Learned Gentleman that the people of Scot land were resolved to stand by him in his exertions for the cause of the people. The Address was read amid great cheering. After it had been conchided— Mr. O'CoriNELL shortly addressed the Deputy, and after stating in glowincr language the attachment which the na tion of Scotland had always - shown to the true principles of liberty, concluded by saying—l will quote the poet of Na ture, and of Scotland, when he proclaimed the virtues of the men of this country, and asked— " Wha' would be a traitor-knave? " Wha' would fill a coward's grave? " VVha' sa base as be a slave and the response was, he is not to be found in the broad lands of Scotland.—(Tremendous cheering.) Mr. O ' CONNELL then proceeded to the Calton Conven ing-room, a few yards distant, where he was met by the 1 r, : ! los Delegates, the Members of the Committee, &c. About 2i;.? mrsons were present, a number of whom were ladies. mr: 6Z-zi,nell on his entrance was enthusiastically cheered. The Secretary, Mr. 8ia0,4.1i: took the Chair, and shortly stated that Mr. O'Connell had i:-..'4.)y condescended to ac cept the invitation ; that there had bee:: no time for prepa ration : but he was sure their illustrious guestwould not their . be the less pleased with the spontaneous expressimi oi.. feelings. He called upon them to fill their glasses to " Mt': health of Mr. O'Connell." _ _ Drank with three times three, Dr. Brown giving the honours after the Gaelic fashion, which called forth loud cheers. V. Mr. O'CONNELL then rose, and after alluding to the Gaelic laLlEuage which' Dr. Brown had used, said, your worthy chairni3n used one word for which, if I dared, I would reprove him. He talked of my condescension. Con descension is a word for grandees and titled dignitaries, but a fellowship of spirit and of action are the terms to be used to one of yourselves, whose order is the order of the people, and whose prime boast is that he is an operative in the cause of freedom.—(Cheers.) It is you who condescend, and I who accept with ample gratitude that manifestation of your spirit and your determination, that the great British empire shall be free from every stain of corruption ; and that the rust of aristocratic dominion be wiped from off your escut cheon, and man, who is " a man for a' that," shall have no master but the law, and nothing to check him in his pro gress to liberty, and in the acquirement of good and cheap government. I have seen the 2atural beauties which sur round your city, and admire the to„ce of nature, and the handiwork of " nature's God." I h av e seen the brave and resolute men who belong to it, and the l o vely women ; and I rejoice that I have struggled so long ite the cause of human liberty, as it has given me a fellowship dcompa nionship with you all. To the Trades of EdinbthZth my thanks are due. They have proved themselves what the operative classes in this country are every day proving themselves to be, the best educated class of society, be cause their education is not superficial, but rational ; and has for its object the improvement of the fa culties of the mind, and the rooting out of preju dices. Let there be no fighting among friends. If one be not so warm as another do not quarrel with him, but let one and all of you, Whigs and Radicals, meet the Tories face to face.—(Cheering.) We achieved but one good measure after all this last Session, but that was not our fault, for the 170 tyrants of the country prevented us from achieving more. Ancient Athens was degraded for sub mitting to 30 tyrants—modern Athens will never allow 170 tyrants to rule over them.—(lmmense cheering.) Their dominion is short, We have commenced the battle under the most favourable circumstances, because we have de monstrated that the fault of getting so few liberal measures passed is all theirs. We did every thing to conciliate. We endeavoured to draw the tooth gently out of the lion— no, not out of the lion, for he is a noble and generous animal, but out of a tiger—but we could not succeed, and the Toriesthave kept their teeth to gnash and grind with, but they will soon grind them all out.—(Laughter and cheers.) Mr. O'Connell then alluded to the attacks which had been made of late upon him in the House of -Lords. It was stated in one of the Clubs that at one time a dog had bitten the Bishop, whereupon a Noble Lord, who was present, said, I will lay any wager that the Bishop began the quarrel—(Loud laughter)—now, really, the House of Lords began the quarrel with me. They may treat me as a mad dog if they please. I won't fight them, but I will treat them as the Quaker treated the dog which had at tacked him—" Heaven forbid," said he, " that I should do thee the slightest injury, I am a man of peace, and will not hurt thee ;" but when the dog went away, he cried out, " Mad dog, mad dog," and all people set upon him.— (Immense cheering and laughter.) Now, that is my re medy with the House of Lords.—(Cheers.) I urn more honest than the Quaker was, for the dog that attacked me is really mad. Bills were rejected in the House of Lordi, simply because Daniel O'Connell supported them ; and I do say, that if I had any twelve men in a Jury on a ques tion of lunacy, I would put it to that Jury to say if such men were not confirmed madmen.—(Cheers and laughter) So you perceive the dog is really mad, and accordingy,l have started on this mission to rouse the public mind to the necessity of reforming the House of Lords, and I have 30,000 cheering me in Manchester, and 100,000 cheering me in Newcastle, and I heard one simultaneous cry,— Down with the mads dogs and up with common sense.— (Cheers and laughter.) The same cryhas resounded through " Auld Reekie." The Calton Hill and Arthur's Scat re-echoed with the sound, and all Scotland has expressed the same determination to use every legitimate effort to re , move the House of Lords.—(Great cheering.) Mr. O'Con nell then, after a few words, concluded and at down amidst long continued cheering. Mr. JAMESON', W. S., and Dr. BROWNE, Advocate, afterwards addressed the meeting in eloqueot speeches, and proposed the healtlls of Mrs. O'Connell and the family at Derrynane, and Mr. SL - 41 and the Liberal Members for Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL returned thanks, and immediately after the Company separated. Mr. O'Connell was loudly cheered as he e ntered the Hotel. . . GENEIIAL POST-OFFICE.—AII important and I highly beneficial alteration in the conveyance 9f letters has recently been made by the Post Office authorities. Let ters to and from ports in Scotland can now be forwarded, if so directed, by all the regular steam-ships trading between the metropolis and Dundee, Leith, and Aberdeen. Each letter from those ports is, on arrival at the General Post Office here, stamped " London ship letter," and is only charged the usual postage rate of Bd., thus effecting a saving to correspondents of6id. on each letter received from Dundee, and sid. on each letter received from Leith or Edinburgh, and 74d. on edch letter received from Aber deen. In addition to the pecuniary advantage thus afforded, the privilege conceded is rendered the more im portant, from the circumstance that the steam-ships to those ports almost invariably perform the journey several hours earlier than the mail overland. For instance, the Dundee, Perth, and London Shipping Company's magnificent and powerful steam-ship Dundee, C6mmander Wishart, lately accomplished the passage from London to Dundee, in 38 hours, whereas the mail takes 53 hours—thus making a difference of not less than 15 hours in favour of the London correspondence by steam. We think Government ought to procure, without delay, better constructed and more powerful steam-vessels for the transmission of letters to and from Hamburgh, and other ports on the Continent. Yesterday morning, the dead body of a poor man, named Daniel O'Farley, aged about seventy, was found in Maidenhead Thicket. It appears that he was travelling on foot to Newport, accompanied by a little boy, who says that he was sent by the poor old man to Maidenhead on the previous evening to purchase two-pennyworth of bread, and that before he could- return it was quite dark, and he could nowhere find his unfortunate companion. The poor old man was found among the furze, on the following morn ing, quite dead, having, it is supposed, perished from want. We are happy to find that Mr. Knapp. the kind-hearted governor of thq Cookham workhouse, has taken c harge of the poor ehibi FR I . the present.—Reading Mereurg. and SNP' going t' ibus Of . a Mal a „1 11 se'ie fht f by bea 'eceiveHad f the defer' e mp l o - and io ' n F 6cl4 Ls not taben, in !al Were !: 's sorry ho ha d Bird's time• en Y 4 3" the don't know , e h e fotie t Was not u" now for it' Toprietorl he Om ni" he ea rly all )f that Coa, rev ett, 1 3 a r t :hers at the and of 60i ;ling agaius Inecte.4 with ith the itV left.

There is one part of Mr. O'Connell's speech at the- Edinburgh Dinner that is worthy of peculiar attention. We allude to the concluding part of his address, in which he adverts, in language of burning and impas sioned eloquence, to the condition and prospects of his native country, and his own policy with re t .,,, , rd 'to the all-important question of a Legislative LTaion. In the expressed sentiments of Mr. O'Connell upon these topics, what Englishman is there, with a heart to feel and a pulse to throb with sympathy for liberty, and detestation of slavery and oppression, that will not cordially concur in these animatef.i and eloquent erpressions ? : , I*:?aturaliy plead for Ireland (said Mr. O'Connell), and who can :..`lame me ? I have already done my country some service ; and I do imagine that if I were to descend to my grave to-morrow, I should do so with this consolation, that -I death than I found her at my left my country bettOr At my birth. It has been slid — .(here the Hon. and Learned Gen tlemanefophasis)—tbat England and spoke with peculiar Scotland are opposed to a repe!ll pf the Union. Why, so am I, if justice be done to Irelond•—(Great cheering.) My object in this mission is to excite the people of England and Scotland in favour of my country, and so to render the repeal of the Union unnecessary, by ina.king it a real union instead of a parchment union. Why should not the people of Ireland have the franchise the same as England and Scotland have ? Why should they not have corporate rights as England and Scotland have—why should they not be freed from the domination of a paltry faction, as Eng land and Scotland are—why should not the consciences of the Irish people be free and unfettered as, thank God for it, the people of England and Scotland are ? Answer these questions in the negative, and I tell you, that, though the game may be hopeless, you drive me to become a li:lpealer again. Answer them in the affirmative, and Ireland will join you heart and hand, and will be ready to fight your battles.--(Gf.?at cheering.) England and Ireland have too long answered to the fable of the dwarf and the giant, where comes in for the honour a.nd plunder. Now , I tell you , we the dwarf gets all the blows and the wounds, and the giant will not endure that Ireland ,7hould be the dwarf by the side of such a giant power as Englanci. t But raise her political sta ture to the standard of England and Scotland, and then—hur rah for the Union.—(Loud and long,continued cheering.) For 600 years the iron hoof of misrule has ;:rampled upon the green isles of my lovely land. Her soil is fertile to exu berance, for no summer sun scorches it to scrility, nor does the winter chill it into barrenness—fertile io exube rance are her valleys—lovely are her rivers, as they rush g of re h e e n r plains —oh o e not u d o b tu e a H r o e n a v t e h u e i it b w o s e o r m e s ; the t p export o x d p u o c r t t s_ from the sides of her mountains, and flow through her l ing from the land the very necessaries of life, while their banks are lined with a starving people. Her har bours are safe from every gale, and open at every hour of every tide, and yet, though a solitary sail may occa sionally be seen on her seas, commerce she has none—her j „,;ns wander over every land as the accursed of heaven, aod they are to be found in every country toiling for that subsistetNe which is denied them at home—supported in their exile only by the exuberance of their native spirits, and sighing in secret sorrow that they never more behold the land of their birth.—(Great ehe;lrs.) Why is Ireland without commerce ?—Misgovernment. Why is she without manufactures ?—Misgovernment. Why are her sons starving among fields that teem with produce ? Misgovernment. I call upon you to rid your souls of the crime of acqz:;escing in this mischief.—(Loud cheers.) I shall carry back to my own country a tale of joy. I shall . tell my country„no that I read in the countenances of a. nd discerning people of Scotland, a the manly, shrewd, determination to join A s in struggling for our rights.- -n (Cheers.) I shall tell the. that a nation, never exceeded in the arts of war, and ithe bravery of her sons—l n shall tell them that a country w .sich,in the words of one of our countrymen, who was an oratn.r, soars in the full blaze .l of the arts and sciences, " with an ye that never winks, and a wing that never tires"—l will teg them that Scotland, strong in her manly sons and generWs sentiments, has vowed that Ireland shall be free." It is the injustice which Tory Governments have inflicted upon Ireland—it is the trampling' upon the rights of the many for the advantage and ascendancy of the few--it is the attempting to govern a gr,eat and populous community as a tributary province or It eon iipered colony, that have raised up against British do nun:on the warmest and best of the offsprings of the sister ista:ud. "Do justice to Ireland," says Mt. O'Connell, ‘" and make the Union with England a real instead ,of a parchment bond." Let Ireland be governed t ,Tion equitable principles—let the Irishman be trea;ed as the Englishman—the Ca tholic as the Protest,mt , and the two countries may go hand and hand, ,smid their Uuion will be a source of mutual strei,:g,th, and guarantee of mutual prosperity. But Obat right have we to expect that Irishmen will ,tranquilly acquiesce in British dominion, if the Legislative Union be tween the two countries is to L be made the means of perpetuating the grievances L'nder which Ire land labours—if it is .to be inaa',l the medium of ruling a people essentially Catholic upon Orange and Ascendancy principles ? A union that, rest ing as it floes upon no ground of reason, ci.'n be only maintained And perpetuated by the sword. idike Mr. O'Connell, we desire a real union—a union of inte rests—a union d affection and of sympathy. .Every . is , other species of anion nut an empty sound ;itis a mere mockery of langz,age—a word, and not an idea —a name, and not a thl;:sg. We have heard that the assemblage that honoured . themselves by honouring Mr. O'Connell comprised io their numbers few of the leading Whigs of Edinburgh. That the metropolis of Scotland should be deserted by of its wealthy and aristocratic inhabitants, at a season like this, is what might be expected. While London ;s deserted for the country, would it be reasonable to expect Edinburgh to be full ? We do not mean to assert, n ev - ,:.rtheless, that there might not be some fewgentlernen, respectable from their station, whG, professing to be friends of the present Government, might have allowed some petty feelings or local jealousies to p; event their attendance upon the above occasion. All we can say is, that we do not admire the feelings or the taste which actuated the individuals in question. Ma:ly persons in Edinburgh will,,no doubt, remember a sayir,;_c.%of Dr. Gregory's— that there was a certain scale oh intellect, on which perfect intelligence stood at one end and a well-known professional adversary of his at the o: her. Certainly the Liberal aristocrats in question hace no claim to stand at the upper end of the scale. We ; .,-uppose that they or scarcely one of them would be be .rd of six. months after his death, unless it ha d been in eonnec tion with the dinner in question. But, after all, of what possible consequence 7c it whether the entertain ment at which Mr. O'Connell was feasted by 1,500 of the industrious and intelligent citizens of Edinburgh, was honoured by the presence of a few gentlemen, re spectable, no doubt, in their private capacity, but ranking only as fifth and sixth rate poi;ticians ? But we are wrong in wasting'our efforts thus to break a fly upon the wheel.—Morning Chronicle. Daniel, pursuant to public announcement, made his first appearance at Edinburgh on Thursday to' an au ' dience which, the place and promise considered, was i ns ivificant even in number, and for character utterly below notice, except with time view of exposing the humbug of the thing, and rescuing the respectable part from the imputation that of the Scottish community they have any feelings in common with this upholder of the freedom of election b‘," the compail appea r to and cross-bones. The elite of . mea ns of death's-heads have been Mr. Aytoun, the RatliCal but unsuccessful Tait, a Radical opponent: of Sir John Campbell ; Mr. but anything w h om w ;1 never heard bookseller ; Dr. Bowring, a Radical als,": but a book-seller; Dr. Browne, of before, and who tags to his name LL.O2 as any body else may do in Scotland for L.S.D. ; Epps, "of London" (any relation to " ham and bee of that ilk ?) ; mild Mr. i! utliven and Mr. O'Connell, both, Daniclis gri:fia, M. P.; Mr. Gil. lon, M. P., chiefly known for unnoticed no tices of motions, to which, however, we are indebted for the house being counted out every now and then : divers " councillors" and others ranking no doubt vefy high among the " illustrious obscure" of the Radical aristo cracy of " Modern Athens," but whose fame has not reached the cars of our readers—together with the Rev. Mr. Nisbett, of Cowgate Chapel, and the Rev. 'Mr. Halley, of Leith (two of Dan's chaplains, We suppose), and a gentleman with the appropriate nonie of hint-owl. Such was the nature of this " gather ing," as it is called, and in one sense appropriately enough. Not a single person of any mark or likelihood, of whatever party, did curiosity attract to see the sa. vage : and that curiosity, and nothing else, moved the 1,000 or 1,509 who paid their t,diillongs for the show, • would be manifest from the accounts of the affair in the Scotch papers alone. They describe: Dania •
