WEYMOUTH. DSTONE most respectfully informs those gen e tlemen who visit this fashionable watering-place, that he ha , entered on that old-established COMMERCIAL HOTEL known by the name of IRELAND. DUBLIN, JUNE 1 4.—Mr. John O'Connell is certainly no prophet. On Monday week he was a firm friend of fraternization. O n the following Monday, believing the Catholic Bi s h ops were opposed to un i on , h e de clared himself a d verse to the r osition, and was most heartily h oote d in consequence, w hen, behold you, it now app ears t h at the Catholic Bi s h o p s afore said, including the Lion of the fold of Judah and the Dove of Elphin, are all staunch supporters of " the , new organizati on ." T hat the fact is so cannot any longer be deni e d. T rue it is that Mr. Jo h n O'Connell received and read at Concili a ti on Hall, an epistle from Dr. Cantwell, in which " great discouragement " was dealt out to the project ; but it is also true , th at whil e Mr. J. O'C onne ll was rading the letter of disapproval, the Right Rev. Fath er was writing another, in w hich h e gave it his heartiest support. " Truth is strange, stranger than fiction ;" and never was the aphorism better exem plified than in the followin g " Coffey' s Hotel, June 12, 1848 . : " Dear Mr. O'C onnell,—Having come to town o n my way to Drogheda, I h ave read in the even i ng p a pers the terms proposed t o -d ay in the Association f or the re union of . Repealer s . I h asten to express my cordial concurrence in them. Th ere occurs to me no alteration that I would wish to suggest, with the exception, per haps, of a mere verbal one in rule the 10th, which might, it is lik e ly, b e b etter calculated to secure th e co operation of the Catholic bi s h o sand clergy, if worded as follows :—' 10th. Ecclesiasticapl or religious s ub j ects are not to be i n t ro d uce d into the discuss i ons of the League, except when it may b e requ i re d f o r the defence of rFligious• liberty, or for protect i ng an d vindicating the inalienable rights and immunities of conscience.' This change, however, I do not consider as very impor tant, the same security being given as to principle by the 10th rule as it stands at present. " Having had frequent opportunities of knowing the views and wishes of the Archbishop of Tuam, and the i Bishop of Ardagh, wh o are a t p resen t absent n Rome defending the Irish Church against the most treacherous and dangerous assaults of her enemies, I feel confident that were they in Ireland they, too, would gladly hail this union of Irishmen in a league to secure what can alone save our afflicted and misgoverned country. " I have the honour to remain, my dear Mr. O'Con nell, your ever faithful and devoted servant, JOHN CANTWELL. " To John O'Connell, Esq., M.P." The Freem an , re f err i ng t o the foregoing, states that the Right Rev. Dr. Maginn has written in the strongest terms in favour of the proposed union. The Confederates have postponed their meeting till this day . week in order that the country may be afforded time to give expression to its opinion on the subject. THE NAVIGATION-LAWS.—The Chamber of Com merce, Belfast, have met and declared that it is just and proper to apply to the shipping interest the free-trade principles adopted in other branches of business. The resolution was proposed by Mr. Grimshaw, and seconded by Mr. Heron, one of the most extensive shipowers in Belfast. This gentleman declared that in his opinion " every shred of monopoly should be abolished save what could be established by British energy, intelligence, and wealth."

The two principal carriage entrances have handsome double lodges and ornamental iron gates. The neighbourhood is of the highest respec tability, and a perfectly rural district. The farm is in high condi tion, lying all within a perfect ring fence adjoining the Park, alto gether nearly 600 acres, containing fine veins and strata of rich loam, gravel, chalk, sand, and some brick earth, with a superior farm house and very substanthl and complete buildings of every kind ; the whole abundantly supplied with water.

THE ARMY.—The Tipperary Vindicator complains of the misconduct of the 34th depot quartered in Nenagh. Intoxication, it appears, is among the most pardonable of their offences. AFFAIR OF HONOI7II.—Dr. Fulton and Mr. Robert Jennings were brought before the magistrates of College street Office upon a warrant which had been issued for their apprehension, grounded on the information to the effect that it vvas their intention to commit a breach of the peace by fighting a duel. The information was sworn in consequence of a fracas which took place be tween the parties in the Four Courts on the previous day, in which some severe blows were given. Mr. Jennings entered into his own recognizances to the amount of 2001. to keep the peace, and gave two sure ties besides, Mr. Thomas M. Dunlevie, of Rutland-square, and John Peebles, M.D., of Dorset-street. He was then set at liberty. Dr. Fulton at first declined to enter into bail, on the ground that he had been assailed first, and had only de tended himself. The matter was postponed for a time, and when Dr. Fulton was again brought forward, Mr. O'CALLAGHAN said he would commit him if he did not enter into bail. The prisoner applied to be sent down in custody to the Queen's Bench. - Mr. O'CALLAGHAN said he would not do anything o 1 he kind. Dr. Fulton then said he had no alternative but to give bail. lie then entered into his own recognizances in the same amount as the other prisoner, and Mr. Perry, soli citor, and Mr. Dowling, merchant, became his sureties, after which he was liberated.

A NOVEL CURE FOR A SNAKE BITE.—The Syd ney Morning Cla onicle relates a successful, but some what novel mode of curing the bite of a snake, th of the .an s of which may be found useful. The wile Irishman, who was very partial to whisky, having been bit in the leg by a snake o . fa very venomous aud,the description, and no surgeon being at h husband flew to his favourite for a remedy. Taking a bottle of whisky he applied it . mouthdown; . down ward to the wound, and kept it fast tnat position till the surgeon arrived, On being questioned by that,latter as to the reason of this application, the manreplied as whisky was good for everything, he thought it would_it begood for a snake bite. The bottle was removes;, and a was found that the liquor had become darker, while there was a corresponding decrease in the discoloration surroun ing the wound. Seeing that the spirits had acted so well more was upplied in the same manner, until the liquor came from the e ound pure and untainted, by which means the patient was totally recovered. If a cure can really be effected in this way, it is probable that one kind of spiri tuous liquor will suffice as well as another for the pur pose, and the remedy is one which may in most instances be obtained when surgical aid is not procurable. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM OSTEND.—TUESDAY, NINE A.m., JUNE 13.—This town and neighbourhood was visited by one of the most terrific thunder storms that has ever been known to take place within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The morning was unusually fine until ono or two o'clock, P.M., when the heat be came close and oppressive; yet, notwithstanding, the sea wall or dike, and outskirts of the town, during the whole afternoon, were covered with the holiday folks. Suddenly, about six o'clock, a few slight dark clouds began to overshadow the sky, parti cularly towards the north. Of course, a regular sauve qui pent ensued, and the fashionable pro menades were soon cleared. This cloudiness of the air was accompanied by a warm and very gentle wind; after which not a breath of air stirred, as though the elements were taking a few minutes repose in order to be able to burst forth with greater violence; as, in a few minutes, flash after flash of the most vivid forked lightning shone forth in rapid succession, followed by loud peels of thunder. At this moment the view on the sea was awfully grand ; the lightning was flitting about here and there, and tnigh t be compared in its movements to fiery snakes twist ing and writhing as if they were in agony. in a few minutes a shower, not of hail-stones, but of pieces of ice, Caine down with the greatest violence, striking on the roofs of the low houses, and rebounding with great fin-co against the windows of their opposite neighbours; in fact, they fell with such power as to cut holes in the centre of the glass similar to a bullet. Several of these pieces of ice were picked up from the floor of the lower rooms, and on examining them they appeared to be all of the same form, being smooth and fiat at the bottom (as if they had been rubbed against some hard substance in order to polish them), and round, not unlike a water caraffe, varying in weight from one to three ounces. I was shown ono specimen of a piece of ice, which was then as large as a small egg, although the indi vidual had brought it in his warm hand from the railway station, where ho had picked it up, being a good five minutes' walk from the place where I was examining the ice ball. I fear to-morrow's post will bring with it sad tidings of the damage done in the country. About half-past eight the thunder, lightning, and rain recommenced, and continued with great vio lence, about twenty minutes after which the moon rose in all her majestic splendour, and at present the air is soft, the sky clear and starlight, and no one would ever suppose that such an awful storm had just been wit nessed, which was of thirty minutes' duration. THE NEW FORTIFICATIONS AT SEEERNESS.--These extensive works, together with the repair and heighten ing of the old fortifications, are now complete, and the guns are all mounted, the last gun having been hoisted on to the carriage last week. The entire line of fortifi cations is one mile and a quarter, and the number of guns 118, some of which are of a most extraordinary large size, weighing from 80 to 90 cwt. At several places along the line nearest to the sea the battery con sists of very thick brickwork, and these parts are called the musketry batteries, there being a great number of apertures through ,the brickwork, designed for the pointing of muskets. The whole lice is surrounded by a deep moat, which is crossed at only one place, where the fortifications cross the high road, and hero there is some outer work, consisting of a bastion and a raveline, and a second moat, and there are [also two drawbridges and two pairs of strong gates. A concrete foundation had been laid down for the erection of new barracks, and piles are now being ;driven for the erection of several powder magazines.— Canterbury' Journal. GERMAN HOSPlTAL.—.yesterday, at noon, a fancy fair, for the benefit of the above-named institution, was opened in the spacious grounds connected with the establishment in the Layton-road, Dalston. The fair will continue until Saturday evening.

FOREIGN FRUIT.—The following extensive arri vals of foreign fruit took place on one day at the com mencement of the week, following immediately after equally large arrivals of the kind from France and else where, at the close of the past week, for Saturday morning's markets. The steam-ship Magnet, from Rotterdam, brought 456 baskets of cherries, the produce of Holland; the steam-ship Giraffe, from Rotterdam, 1,013 baskets of cherries, 2 baskets of gooseberries, and 3 of melons, also of Dutch produce; and the steamer Soho, from Antwerp, 138 baskets of cherries, the gr owt h of Belgium. These large arrivals of cherries from abroad are an important feature in the supplies to the metropo litan markets at the present time, of a description of fruit which has not as yet been brought to market in such large quantities, of home growth, as with respect to other fruits of a seasonable character.

In no c ountry more t h an i n G re at Britain are so many benefit s con f erre d upon th e tuts and manu factures by the science of chemistry; and we intend here to submit for the consideration of our readers a few of the applications of sulphur and its combina tions, as an example of what we have stated. Few persons, who h ave not given it their attention , would believe how many b ene fits are conferred upon our trade body e_d t byat is,t the chemists and commerce by the manufacture of sulphuric acid alone, which has reached in this country to the highest state of perfection. ss a w n ith Sulphur, commonly known by the name of brim stone, was well known to the ancients, and it is acquainted can it be further resolved. It is found abun dantlyof in nature in its pure state, and also in various states combination with the metals. The principal source of its der' • • which elementary a re non-metallic a t present derivation for commercial purposes is the volcanic dis tricts, and es p ec i a ll y Solfatara, near Naples. The mines of Sicily h ave b een worked for several centuries; but it is only since 1820 that any considerable quantity was pre pared f o r exportation. Subsequently to 1833 the trade export with thi s country increased so much, that the of sulphur to th e U nited Kingdom rose from about 20,000 tons in th at year to 38,654 tons in 1838. In the autumn of that year the Neapolitan Govern iment established a monopo l y in the trad e , at the suggestion of a Frenchman named Tait, the imme diate consequence of which was to cause a rise in the price of sulphur from 61. or 7!. -a ton to double that amount. In 1839 the importation to this country fell from 44,000 tons to one half that quantity. To show what effect this injudicious move of the Sicilian government had upon science, we cannot do better than quote the following extract from an inte resting little work by the celebrated German chemist and philosopher, Justice Liebig, entitled " Familiar Letters on Chemistry." " Reflecting upon the important influence which the price of sulphur exercises upon the cost of production of bleached and printed cotton stuffs, soap, glass, &c., and remembering that Great Britain supplies America, Spain, Portugal, and the east with these, exchanging them for raw cotton, silk, wine, raisins, indigo, &c., we can under stand why the English Government should have resolved to resort to war with Naples, in order to abolish the sulphur monopoly, which the latter power attempted re cently to establish. Nothing could be more opposed to the true interests of Sicily than such a monopoly; indeed, had it been maintained for a few years, it is highly probable that sulphur, the source of her wealth, would have been rendered perfectly valueless to her. Science and industry form a power to which it is dangerous to present impediments. It was not diffi cult to perceive that the issue would be the entire cessation of the exportation of sulphur from Sicily. In the short period that the sulphur monopoly lasted, fifteen patents were taken out for methods to obtain back the sulphuric acid used for making soda. Admitting that these fifteen processes were not per fectly successful, there can be no doubt that it would, ere long, have been accomplished. But then in gypsum (sulphate of lime), and in heavy spar (sulphate of barytes), we possess mountains of sul phuric acid; in galena (sulphuret of lead), and in iron pyrites, we have no less abundance of sulphur. The problem is, how to separate the sulphuric acid or the sulphur from these native stores. hundreds of thousands of pounds weight of sulphuric acid were prepared from iron pyrites while the high price of sulphur consequent upon the monopoly lasted. 'We should probably, ere long, have triumphed, over all difficulties and have separated it from gypsum. The impulse has been given, the possibility of the process proved, and it may happen in a few years that the in considerate financial speculation of Naples may deprive her that of that lucrative commerce." Through the intervention of the British Govern molt in 1840, the sulphur trade with Sicily was placed on the same footing as previously to 1838, and in that state it still continues, though the quan tity now imported is very considerably reduced, in consequence of the extraction of it from some of the ores of iron and copper, termed pyrites. By far the most considerable applications are in the preparations of sulphuric acid, and of gunpowder, which is a mix ture of sulphur, nitre, and charcoal. An enormous quantity is also consumed in the preparation of matches, lucifers, and fireworks; it is employed in medicine extensively; in the preparation of vermilion, which is a combination of mercury and sulphur; to cement iron bars into stone; and also for bleach ing and disinfecting . The last mentioned are how ever applications of sulphurous acid, one of the com binations of sulphur and oxygen, which we shall hereafter have to notice. It has been recently estimated that about 5,000,000,000 lucifer matches are annually consumed in Great Britain alone, and one maker con sumes 1,0001. worth of American pine in manufacturing them. i LondonandGreenwich 12/15244.... ....- ...... -.- "•"-••• ...i..

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,500 bales. There were 1,000 bales taken for export. The market was heavy. In prices very little alteration oc curred. A good business was done in Railway Shares, at previous rates, but stock was scarcer. In the political accounts both from France and Ger many there is a comparative lull to-day; but the mer cantile letters received from Hamburgh hold out no hope of a speedy adjustment of the Danish question. As the; Swedes are preparing more vigorously to second the Danes, and as the Assembly at Frankfort must come to the determination either to pro secute the war on a larger scale, or to abate at once some of its pretensions, it is not improbable that we shall hear ere long of something important. At Copenhagen the condemnation of the captured vessels proceeded without further delay. Some few cases of release are mentioned, and respect had been paid to neutral property, but the blow is a severe one for German commerce, palliate it as we may. The New York liner Devonshire sailed to•day with 73 cabin and 150 steerage passengers ; she has also 350 tons of rails, and a larger quantity of other freight than usual. We hope, as there are doubts of our receiving many orders for the " fall " trade, that all parties may be agreeably disappointed, and that other vessels will take fuller cargoes than was anticipated. The Corn Market is rather firm to-day, except for oats and barley. The Bulwer affair is still regarded with great interest and some misgiving in quarters connected with Spain. There is expected to be a change of Ministry at Madrid, and even then the arrangement of the misunderstand ing will have to be delicately conducted. The course adopted by the Bank of England in lowering by per cent. the charge for the dis count of mercantile bills has been generally approved, and may give an impetus to tra d e , a lthough money was already sufficiently abundant in the general market.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other upposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea it caution and worldly prudence, and the Indissoluble, regret un xiniprcsiu: hurry; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, omi broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set dement. Honour and justice den:land that health should form an item in the compact; tt alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

DEATH OF JAMES WATT, ESQ.-011E obituary of this week records the death of James Watt, Esq., the last surviving son of the illustrious improver of the steam engine. He was born on the sth of February, 1769, and was, therefore,in his 80th year. Inheriting a large share of the powerful intellect of his distinguished father, to the extension of whose fame he had for the last thirty years shown the most zealous and truly filial devotion, he united to great sagacity and a masculine understand ing the varied acquirements and literary tastes of a well cultivated mind. His name will long be remembered in association with that of the late Mr. Boulton, as they were for nearly half a century successfully engaged in carrying out those inventions and improvements by which the genius of his father was immortalised. For the last eight years of his life he had comparatively retired from active business, and had devoted much time and atten- Lion to the improvement of his extensive estates in the counties of Radnor and Brecon, where his tenantry will have to lament the loss of a kind, energetic, and liberal landlord.—Birminyham Journal.
