BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Acc. Marriage reqeires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and Its true source is every instance disclosed, in how malty could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always hilarious ; the gift, which when nsed in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the nrolific source of mischief and of greater or less Injury to the constitutional an d vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and conscouence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of gre a t er severity of misery to the kuma n frame,' han any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attentiou and study, for what subject earl be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possesse d. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether aoquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering Item their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of up plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously eutertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his proles_ '"nal pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplom as afY. and the groat extent of his practice ter many years is a Mralltee for his professional experience, which has reference almost t• the treatment of these diseases.

S AT, JULY 10, 1848. AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. Another of those remarkably rapid passages, for which our merchants are indebted to the enterpri,e of the North American Mail Company, has again been completed by the company's steam-ship Ame rica, under the command of Captain Judkins, who, it will be recollected, made the shortest known rut) out wards between this port and Boston. This fine vessel has now come home in eleven days, having departed from Boston harbour at noon of the 28th ult. Her correspondence, embracing the period of a week, informs us of a third candidate having been started for the United States presidency, in the person of Martin Van Buren, nominated on the democratic side by the "Barnburners" section, in oppositio❑ to General Cass. The Whigs, remaining constant to their first choice in General Taylor, ap• pear to have every prospect of carrying the day, and as auxiliaries to the war have already started their two organs, "grapeshot" and the " campaign" to assist in getting up the steam to working point by the momentous day of election. Accounts from Mexico have been received down to the Ist of June from the capital, and the 7th from Vera Cruz. The troops were moving homeward. General Patterson's division left the city of Mexico on the 30th May. General Marshall's was to follow on the Ist June, and on the sth General Butler was to start in company with Mr. Sevier. General Butler has issued an order declaring that no soldier will be discharged from service until his arrival in New Orleans or other port of destination. This effectually settles the project of organizing in Vera Cruz a force for relieving Yucatan. The deserters from the American volunteers„num bering some 1,000, have, it appears, proved an effi cient support to the Government of Pena-y-Pena. The populace regarded the commissioners and escort with ill-disguised dislike, and actually insulted them. Santa Anna is said to be busy in endeavouring to repair his fallen fortunes, by getting up a party in Mexico. The Mexican Government has purchased 3,000 muskets and 40,000 cartridges. St. Otero has introduced into the Mexican Con gress a proposition to send immediate and efficient aid to Yucatan. A Bill has also been introduced for the reorganiza. tion of the Mexican army, the regular force to con. sist of 10,000 men, to which is to be added a Nationa Guard. Later news from Yucatan shows that a dreadful state of things still exists there. The Amigo del Pueblo, published at Campeachy, states that the British Minister in Mexico had received the official communication from the Yucatan Government, offering the sovereignty and dominion of Yucatan to Great Britain, in case assistance and protection were offered, and that the Minister had written to his Government earnestly urging the compliance with the offer. The whole coast from the port of Cilam to Cape Catoche, and thence to Bacalar, is now in possession of Pat and Chi, and their blood-thirsty followers. More than 100,000 persons are now crowded into the capital ofYucatan, and should it unfortunately fall into the hands of the savages, but a portion of these refugees could be saved, owing to the small number of vessels now on the coast. Advices from Hayti inform us that, in consequence of the disturbed state of affairs, all the coloured popu lation are emigrating, and the business of Port-au- Prince, at least, was expected to fall into the hands of foreigners. President Soulouque was expected to arrive at Jeremie about the 10th June with 3,000 or 4,000 troops. . _ All was quiet at Gonaives on the 4th, and the mu lattoes were acting as soldiers in defence of their own property. The negroes, it was reported, had had a bloody fight near Jacrnel, in which about 200 men and children were killed. Their blood was drunk by the maddened wretches who slew them. In the commercial markets of the Union, depression still seems the order of the day, and as far as flour and bread stuffs are concerned, appears likely to con tinue so until prices are brought sufficiently low to admit of a profitable outlet to this country. That they will come to this ere many months elapse may be reasonably deduced from the large stocks now holding over in America ; the splendid appearance of this year's growing crops, and the absence of any active European demand which might otherwise assist in counteracting these influences, and with almost unprecedented low rates of freight, and the total re peal of all import duty in February next, our home farmers would do well to put their houses in order, and to be prepared to meet, as best they may, such prices for grain as have but seldom if ever been wit nessed in this country. The receipts and exports of cotton continue on an extensive scale. f~~ 7' . _.‘,, , ',C.--4 , '" , LAMARTINE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU.N.

Sir,-0:1 Wednesday, the 4th, the Sites for Places of Worship (Scotland) Bill was discussed in Com mittee. A movement fbr cutting down the applica tion to the quantity actually concerned, by limiting it to the Free Church of Scotland, was lost only by .55 to 58. The preamble of the Bill is a curiosity. It begins by setting forth, that "according to te, laws and policy of this kingdom, her Majesty's sub. jects enjoy the rights 'of religious toleration ;" and jumps to the conclusion that toleration means having the power to take men's lands without their consent When the French Constitution is criticised for its in• terpretation of the rights of labour, this British version of the rights of toleration ought to be remem bered as a parallel. On Thursday pore on Mr. ITume's adjourned mo tion for ReforgleSPThe princip a l argument a d vance d against it, rvat there was no popu l ar d eman d . So if anybody wants it, they must only say so. The point round which influential support seems easiest to be gathered, is the inequality of the electoral division. The principle coolly put forward by the agricultural and protectionist benches, is that it is fitting, desir able, and to be maintained as long as the possibility exists, that an agricult ur i s t s h a ll h ave f orty votes in the ouse of Commons for the manufacturer's one ; or which comes to the same thing, three hundred agriculturists shall have as many voices in Parliament as twelve thousand manufacturers. This is stated to be the thing as it is and as it ought to be ; and it is added that the agriculturists would be oppressed and ruined men if it were altered. Now what manner of men are they, and what do they sup port, who can only'maintain their ground by having ' forty votes to one of other people's ? The planters in the West Indies were hardly under a more desperate necessity. There is no doubt of the manufacturing interest having been a long way behind the agri cultural in the elements of power, or so strange a state of things could not at this time have existed. But it is not in that condition now ; and moreover it is rapidly advancing, while the other is standing still. The nature of the final solu tion of the problem is therefore not difficult to be divined. If the agricultural interest set up a claim to being paid with twenty shillings in the pound, while the manufacturing should be paid with sixpence, there would be something so ludicrously absurd as to make it difficult to lead men to understand the proposition. Yet the proportion of injustice is only the same as in the other case. We shall see how long the manufac turers go on taking sixpence in the pound. It was understood that the policy of the Conserva tives was to be, not to reply. The war was ably car ried into their quarters by the Member for Middlesex (Mr. Osborne); and the support of the Member for the West Riding (Mr. Cobden) was most earnest and impressive. The number that voted for the motion was encou raging. It is but a few weeks since the Members of the House of Commons who could be found in favour of it went by the title of "the fifty-one ;" and now they are swelled into 86. It can hardly be doubted that fourteen more would have been found willing to join, if they had known the division would have been so strong, and bad been presented with a vision of the questions which will be asked them by constituents. So that there is nothing extravagant in considering the party as of the respectable dimensions of a hun dred, which is an amount that carries with it parti cular ideas in parliamentary calculation. A point or two to clarify, may usefully be noted. In the debate there appeared to be some puzzle, whether the electoral repartition ought to be based on population, or on property, or how. The answer to which appears to be, that it ought to be based on the number of voters as from time to time arising out of the law upon the suffrage. First settle your suffrage, and then give Members in proportion to the number of suffragists. This seems to be what Mrs. Glasse or any other sensible person would direct. A great difficulty is taken out of the way, by establish ing that equability and not equality of division is the thing essential. IVhether a re-adjustment may not in fifty years be wanted, may be left to those that see the case. Something was heard in the debate, on the old dispute upon the meaning of a right, and whether the suffrage is a right. The original mean ing of right (rectum) and droit (directum) is some thing that is ruled or laid down by authority ; and to this sense lawyers are fond of confining it. But the laity have always had a propensity to apply the term to things which are not laid down, but oril . ‘ ought to be. And in this sense is is that suffrage is claimed as a right for those that have it not. It i. claimed on the same grounds as equality before the law ; and equality before the law, the lawyers would tell us, is only a right when a man has got it. It is plain that they are meaning one thing, and we another. On Friday went on the eternal debate on Sugar. The Government bas once already given an intima tion, that if the West Indians persist in opposition it would be practi ca bl e t o l eave th i ngs as they are. If all things considered, there is about as much to be said against the Ministerial alterations as for them, it follows that if an absolute demand for settling the question should arise, it would be for general convenience that the Act of 1846 be let alone.

NATIONAL DEFENCE. PROTECTION OF OUR COASTS. Many months since, when the outcry of " invasion was ringing in everybody's ears, and it was proposed to turn the male population of the entire kingdom into militia regiments, we strongly impressed upon the Go vernment, as a substitute for re-organizing the militia, and as a more effectual means of protection from inva sion —first, the equipment of a strong Channel squadron; ,econdly, the re-organization of the Coast Guard, so as to be available for service at sea, as recommended by Sir George Cockburn and the Hon. Captain Berkeley; thirdly, the establishment of batteries at certain points of the coast, especially at Newhaven, Brighton, &c.; and fourthly, the enrolment of the fishermen and boating population, and the training of them to the use of the musket and to serve at the coast batteries. We are much pleased to find that some of the above suggestions have been carried into effect. We have ti Channel squadron, which, we trust, will not be strengthened at the expense of our forces on foreign stations, but will be permanently kept up for home service. The Coast Guard has been reorganized to some ex• tent. Younger naval officers have been appointed to this force ; the men entered are available for service at sea on an emergency, and during the past year, from the mouth of the Thames t o t h e L an d s End, they have, under the personal superintendence of Captain Houston Stewart, C. 8., the gallant Comptroller-General, been in active training to the use of small arms, and at the exer cise of the great guns; and now, at the request of Cap tain Stewart, the Admiralty have ordered small parties of Coast Guard men to be removed on board the Excel lent, gunnery-ship, at Portsmouth, for a limited time, to perfect themselves in the system of gunnery taught in that establishment ; their Lordships have also ordered the Benbow, 72, at Sheerness, to be appropriated for a similar purpose; and the Commandant of the Portsmouth division of Royal Marines has been directed to permit the Coast Guard in the neighbourhood to exercise at the sea batteries of the artillery companies, as well as at those of the divisional companies. The whole Coast Guard force is thus to be rendered as important body of armed and disci plined men, as well for the protection of the country as of the revenue; but to make the department perfect, and insure for the measures now being taken with respect to it permanent success, the Coast Guard should at once be turned wholly over to the control of the Admiralty, as recommended by these distinguished officers, who are most competent to give sound advice, as to the regula tion and disposition of our naval resources. With re ference to works of defence we may state that one or two batteries have already been established on the coast. and more are in course of construction; their position being selected as well for the means of defence, as for the convenience of training the coast-guard men. Finally, we believe it is in contemplation so to organize our coast population, that whenever hostilities may break out, should an enemy be so unfortunate e s cap e afsttoo as to the vigilance of our fleet, or so reckless of his a make s " dash" suddenly at any point ofre a our be il l l o i v o e g, d island, he will find a watchful, loyal, reads '+ and efficiently-trained body of our countrymen w quite ready and able to deal him that destruction to which he has devoted himself. We may add that the dockyardibthrigthaerdiesim(lmle,OnOsOe men), regularly drilled, are alrea d y, park of artillery, available for the protection w of the great establishments to which they are attached; and th e new regulations lately issued for providing in our dockyards se amen, will soon come into effee a reserved force of tive operation. — Mor nin g paper.

ARREST OF MR. DUFFY. DUBLIN, SUNDAY MORNING.-Mr. Duffy, of the Na tion, was arrested last night, and committed to Newgate o❑ a charge of felony; all the manuscripts in his office were seized. More arrests spoke❑ of. The city per fectly tranquil DUBLIN, JITLY B.—Mr. John hist tin, proprietor of the Felon newspaper, surrendered this morning, and has been committed to Newgate to take his trial on a charg e of felony, at the commission which stands adjourned ti) the Bth of August next, and not, as Mr. Martin ima • gifted when he gave himself into the custody of the police, to the month of October next. The Government are acting with energy, so far as the state of the law will permit. Previous to Mr. Martin's surrender, the police had seized all papers, letters, &c., 'st the offi,!e of the Felon; yesterday evening and this day hey seized u; on all the numbers of the Felon they could ay their hands upon, either at the office of that paper or amongst the newsvendrrs in the streets. But the treason journals are still increasing in violence, and the club organization proceeds at railroad speed. Mr. F. Meagher, who is about to proceed on a mission to America, has addressed, through the Notion, a long letter to the members of the Dublin clubs, in which, after instructing them on the means of carrying out the struggle to a successful issue, he says— " The Members of the Council are doing their work, and doing it well. They have heated the metal, and now they work it into shape. It is precisely because there are no speeches, no defiances, no enthusiastic meetings, no noise, no hubbub, that business at last is being done. Clubs are springing up in every direction, with the aid of the Council. Twenty, forty, flit), a hundred miles, are nothing to them, even at an hour's notice. Ceasing to be the mere preachers of the move ment, they have become its organizers. The struggle is now conducted by hands, not by tongues. The orators have become workmen, and the workmen may become martyrs. " The CoUncil sit every day, and there is nothing left undone by them to keep the mind of the country fixed upon the object of its enthusiasm—its ambition —nothing left undone by them to keep it in a state of disciplined activity—full of hope, intelli gence, heroism. The trial of John Mitchel—his letters to the Protestant tenant-farmers—the infamous construction of his jury —his speech—the speech of Mr. Holmes—the letter of the Rev. Mr. Hughes to Lord John Russell —Mr. Duffy's statement of Ireland's capacity to assert her independence by arms—the Ame rican address —every document, in fact, that can instruct the public mind, strengthen, and inspire it, has been printed, published, and circulated, lay the thousand, through the country. " More than this—we have anxiously watched the political trials in England and Scotland, and by votes of money, have sustained,- in both countries, the men who suffer, or have yet to suffer, for their political courage and integrity. "In the case that recently occurred here—in the case of Gogarty, English, and the other traversers—the Council appointed a conducting agent—retained counsel —feed them—and did all in their power to ensure the parties the best legal assistance. It that assistance was not rendered, it was the fault of Mr. O'Hea, who left town the day previous to the trial, without providing in time, as he was bound to do, a competent substitute. And no sooner was the decision in this case known, than the Council took the necessary steps for an appeal by a writ of error. You will admit, then, that in this instance the Council has evinced an earnest anxiety, and have used their best efforts to protect the liberty of these generous, brave, and honest men. " It' there are any other complaints to be made upon this subject, I will be happy to hear and answer them." Mr. Meagher thus concludes with an avowal of the object of the clubs, just as distinct as any made by John Mitchel or John Martin : " Our object—it is simply this, to destroy the Eng lish interest in this country—root and branch—to insti tute a National Government in this city—and by our laws and arms to restore the country—in its full integrity mid glory—to its own brave people. " Our determination—to do this at any and every " Our faith—that it will be done. " In very great haste I have written this letter—and I am sure you will excuse its many inaccuracies for this reason. Next week I shall write to you again. " In the meanwhile, and always, believe me, my dear friends, your faithful friend, " THOMAS FRANCIS MEAGHER. " Council.rooms, Friday evening." Mr. Joh❑ Martin has published, in the Irish Felon, a long letter, addressed " To the Right Hon. the Earl of Clarendon, representative of the British Crown and dig nity in Ireland." It is dated " From my hiding-place, July 6, 1848," and gives the following account of the causes which induced him to keep out of the way of the police:— "On last Monday evening, when, armed with your warrant for my arrest, your detectives searched for me in my office in Trinity-street, and afterwards in the house of my friend Mr. Reilly; it happened that I was sitting comfortably in the house of another friend, where 1 had dined. Information reached me very soon of your proceedings; arid my friends and I formed ourselves into a little cabinet council, to consider the course pro per for me to take; and we agreed that the best course was, that I should endeavour to keep clear of Green street till after the rising of your present Commission. We understood that the Crown ' had provided itself with a panel of even surer loy alty than the one you packed for the conviction of John Mitchel; that the most ferocious of your par tisan judges, Chief Justice Blackburne, occupied the bench; that your convict ship the Shearwater lay in Kingstown Harbour; that, in short, you had all your arrangements ready made for trying' me, convicting me, and robbing me—putting me in irons, and sending me off, like a burglar or murderer, to live and die among burglars and murderers—all within twenty-four, or at most forty-eight hours; while I could have no time or opportunity for preparing my legal defence or my moral vindication—no means of exposing to the world the in iquities of your packing, your contrivances for making Crown," government,' and law,' abominations to all honest men —your official meanness, lying, and malig nity. My friends and I considered that your advantages in trial' for ' felony,' under such circumstances, would be too enormous—that your dice were really too heavily loaded. And, therefore, we determined that I should avoid a during this commission. And thus it is that I have condescended to hide myself from your detectives for these days. Your commission, which, as I am told, finished all the business before it on Tuesday last, stands adjourned till Friday ;' and people say that this sitting on Friday must be intended for my especial case, which is really doing me far too much honour (for indeed I am but a very feeble opponent of your empire, though I will yield to no man in hatred of that grand engine of human debasement and misery). The commission, I understand, must rise for the long vacation on Friday, as the benignant Blackburne and the other esteemed Crown and Government Judges are to go on circuit upon Saturday. And after Friday it will not be convenient for your Courts to try me, or any other patriots, for fel o ny ' till October next. If, then, you confine m e in Newgate till October, we will both of us have three mouths for preparation before my trial—which I trust will be also your trial.

For my ,own part, I hope to effect some good by explaining the national doctrines, and urging the necessity of the course proposed by Na tionalists, and so effacing from the minds of our wretched better classes' those prejudices and fears which impel them to prefer civil war to Irish independence.

" Mr. James F. Lalor, in an article in the Felon, headed " What must be done?" recommends the formation of a Felon newspaper proprietary of f rom 460 to 1,200 persons. He says : " The hand of the English Government points to this journal as the foe which it hates and fears the most., If t Ireland be desirous that it shall not sink, overborne b h o intna f e heen o ta t dsd h u t repeated assaults, there is one sure way to support and sus tain3'' it, and but one alone. I now do what I have deferred too long—l appeal to Ireland to come to the relief of her assailed and endangered fortress; and I claim, for sake of her own success and her own safety to have that fortress manned and provided—its garrison increased, its defences strengthened. I demand the immediate formation of a joint-stock company to take Mr. Martin's place, if he should be crushed, and to continue this journal under its present or some other name." Mr. Lalor thus concludes : " Form the company I propose, and then—before they squelch' Ireland they must squelch' the Felon office, Ha ! squelch it—by heavens—squelch it It i s no " Ireland is like a half starved rat that crosses the pith of an elephant.

Your knee to the ground —or death and defiance, oh Ireland " JAMES F. LA LOR." THE PROSECUTION OF MR. JOHN MARTIN. The _lrish Felon of this day contains letters from Mr. Devin Reilly and Mr. James F. Lalor, addressed to the Under-Secretary for Ireland and the Attorney-General, on the subject of the prosecution against Mr. John Martin, proprietor of the Felon. Mr. Reilly, whose letter is dated Rethmines, 6th July, states that he is un aware of the precise articles which form the subject of the prosecution ; but he adds : " If I am the author of them, or any of them, I now hereby offer to avow the authorship, and to assume the entire responsibility which may devolve upon all con nected with their publication, and to surrender myself to you, or to any other officer of the English Government, whenever and wheresoever you may appoint, on the sole and express condition that the warrant against Mr. Martin shall be withdrawn, and that no prosecution shall be instituted against him for any past publications in the Felon newspaper." Mr. Reilly also states that he has written this letter without the knowledge of Mr. Martin. Mr. J. F. Lalor, whose letter is dated from the "Felon office, Trinity-street," without date, after referring to the prosecution, says : " I have reason for believing that the only articles in that journal which could be considered to afford grounds for such a charge were none of them written by Mr. Martin, and were published in opposition to his expressed opinion." Mr. Lalor then respectfully inquires " whether the warrant against Mr. Martin will be withdrawn, if the real writer should avow the authorship of those articles, and make himself legally responsible for them? If the warrant will be so withdrawn, on that condition, such legal avow a l w ill b e given. " The followi ng this mornin g: — " SEIZURE OF DOCUMENTS AND CORRESPONDENCE OF aPpears in the Freeman's Journal of THE IRISH FELON' NEWSPAPER.—Yesterday evening, about seven o'clock, fourteerepolicemen entered the office of the Irish Felon, in Trinity -street, stating that they had a warrant for Mr. Martin's (the registered pro prietor's) arrest. Not finding the gentleman on the pre mises, the constables proceeded to seize on all the papers in the office, consisting of accounts, correspondence, and other manuscripts—in fact they took away every paper they found, no matter of what description. They forced open the office desk, and the editor's room, and emptied both of their contents. They stated to one of the clerks in the office that they had authority to do so. Having collected all the papers they could find, they retired. The paper was at press when the above seizure was made." SURRENDER OF MR. JOHN MARTIN. This day Mr. John Martin, proprietor of the Irish Felon newspaper, surrendered to Sergeant Prender, of the detective force, after which he was conducted to Col lege -street Police-office, accompanied by his attorney. Mr. Keinmis, the Crown solicitor, was present, but did not take any active part in the proceedings. On Mr. Martin being brought before the bench, Mr. TYNDALL asked him if be was aware of the na ture of the informations which had been sworn against him ?—Mr. Martin replied that he was aware of those informations, but he was ignorant of the specific charge laid against him. Mr. TYNDALL stated that there were different charges laid in the informations, one of which was for the publi cation of a letter on the 24th of June, in the Irish Felon newspaper, signed "J. F. Lalor," and the other was for the publication in the same paper, of the Ist of July, an article headed the "First Step," and for those offences it was his duty to commit him for trial. Mr. MARTIN said he wished to say a word or two on the subject of his absence, in avoiding the execution of the warrant, the reasons of which he had already ex plained in the Irish Felon of this day; but, as that paper had been seized by the police —a proceeding which he felt bound to declare was a public robbery —he wished the circumstance. to be publicly known. The reason he had kept out of the way was, that he wanted to get something like a fair trial, which he could not expect to have had at the last commission. Before Mr. Martin had surrendered, the police had orders to seize the Irish Felon newspaper, and, in the execution of their orders, they seized every copy of that paper which they could discover, either in the office where it had been published, or in the possession of the newsvenders in the streets. COMPLETE BREACH BETWEEN THE OLD AND YOUNG IRELANDERS. The Repeal Association has finally declared against the clubs, and the rupture with the Confederates is com plete. At a special meeting of the committee, held at the Corn Exchange Rooms yesterday, resolutions were adopted to the effect that the replies to the circulars, en closing the terms of junction with the Confederates, re• quired that " the League should confine its operations to legal, peaceful, and constlehtional action," and called fur " modifications to that effect." In order to prevent all doubt on that point, the committee, whose resolutions are signed by Mr. Ray, the secretary, declare:— " That inasmuch as the intention both of the Confe rence and of this committee was to have the League a strictly legal, and constitutional body, and in order to remove every doubt that might retard the desired union, as well as to make the rule of action of the body into which it is proposed that the Association should merge so distinct as to admit of no doubt, this committee do refer back the original basis to the Conference, stating that, yielding to the voice of public opinion, this com mittee are willing to adjourn the Association and form the Irish League on the following condition, suggested as well by the public opinion of the country, as by the current of re cent events, viz.: " That the League be specially and distinctly pledged to the use of peaceful, legal, and constitutional means, to the exclusion of all other. " That the club organization be entirely abandoned, and the clubs finally dissolved, and that any local orga nization to be created or used hereafter shall be strictly on the above principle, and entirely under the control of the League.' " Resolved, Th at i n consequence of this reference, the meeting of the A ssociation, fixed for Monday, the 10th instant, be postponed till further notice." The Nation, o f t h is day, regards those resolutions as " a sudden and bi tter disappointment " —as a declaration by Mr. John O'C onnell a hs embodied peal Associati on , against a the Committeei ts sof hte ho.” the T h R u e unction with the Confede rates, " on any o th er basis but the dismantling of the Nation adds:— f Thus, clubs, in the Nation ha s aga i n avowed that the clubs and League P WlTic u h lar the fortresses—thecountry are T identical. " There will b e a public meeting of the Repeal clubs of Dublin, on M on d ay evening next. Those who fear annihilationnd t strength." dishonour more than personal danger, and who prefer death itself to desertion, will find in Ireland a willing audience and a powerful following. On them, singly, the destiny of our ve nera b le cause has now been flung. May they prove fit to bear it!" On the subject of the Queen's visit the Nation, while writing on the " union of Irishmen," says: — " The Queen is coming to Ireland, and the Queen's Ministers have assailed another patriot felon. The day she lands on your shores let the Council:of 330 meet in the capital, and invite her to open the revived Irish Par liament. Let us have no sentimental nonsense about courtesy to a Sovereign. When the corporation of Dublin, on behalf of its ruined trades and bankrupt citizens, and with a beggared nation at its back, menus_ rialised for repeal, they received scant courtesy from the Royal Lady. And now, with our patriots in our penal settlements or her gaols, shall we bend our back in the slave's loyalty that kisses the scourge ? No; the black banner of Skihbereen, and the green banner of our rising hopes, shall fly before her face wherever she ap pears in this land, unless she comes to negotiate their liberty with the Irish people. Let hirelings hurrah ; the men of Ireland have a prior allegiance and a deeper loyalty, which they must not discredit—their loyalty and allegiance to their suffering country." THE LEAGUE AND THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGY. —Nineteen clergymen of the Deanery of Tuam, includ ing eight parish priests, three professors of St. Jarlath's College, and ten curates, have forwarded to M e • Ray a communication expressing their " entire disapproval of the contemplated League. MR. MEAGHER'S MISSION TO AMERICA. —The Lime rick Reporter of to-day contains as follows:—" We have the gratification of announcing that Mr. T. F. Meagher proceeds by mail steamer to America to-morrow for important public purposes connected with this country. We are vastly mistaken if the mission of this true and gifted son of Ireland will not be attended with great and glorious results. He will be received with open arms by the people of the great Republic.

On his outward voyage he was remarkably r eserved, but en joyed good health. —Fr eeman s Journal. THE POTATO.—We are gratified at being enabled to lay the following statement, which we have received from a trustworthy correspondent, before our readers:— " As you have copied the Gardener's Chronicle, relative to the potato disease on the estate of Lord Oranmore, in the county of Mayo, I think it well to inform you of all I know. A fortnight since I found the disease in a small plot, surrounded with a close edge, where it oc curred in 1845 and 1846. There was then but a perch affected, now there are ten perches, sh ow i ng the disease to be contagious or infectious. On no other spot of this estate (about 12,000 acres) have I heard of it —all po tatoes looking well; however, I hear of the disease as being at Balla, Hollymount, Ashfield, and Castlegrovo." —Dubin Evening Post. FUNERAL OF THE COUNTESS DR GREY.—The remains of the late Countess De Grey Were consigned to the family vault at Wrest, Beds, on Friday forenoon, in the presence of a very numerous congregation of sorrow ing friends, and those villagers residing on the estate, to whom the late Countess had been a liberal benefactress. The funeral was private, the Earl De Grey, the Earl Cowper, the Earl of Enniskillen, M r . Viner, Mr. Balfour, rd ikegon. Mr. Cole attending the obsequies.

THE AUSTRI&N EMBASSY.—We learn, on what we conceive to be good authority, that his Excellency Count Dietrichstein is about to relinquish his appoint ment as Ambassador to the British Court from Austria. It will be recollected that the noble Count had made ar rangements last February to leave England in the fol lowing month, in company with the Countess, for Vienna, as was then stated on " private business," but circum stances arose which demanded the presence of his Excel lency in London. The Countess and her brother, Count Potocki, however, left Chandos House for Germany, and, as we announced a few days back, the Countess has since returned to town, and has altogether abstained from mixing in society. His Excellency has given notice to the whole of the retainers in his household that their services in his establishment will quired longer tha n th e c l ose o f the present m onth, whe his Excellency and th e Countess are expected to le ave England. ; YARMOUTH ELECTION.—The following was the not be ren state of the poll at its close on Saturday, at four o'clock; — Sandars, 414 ; Rumbold, 11$4 ; Migshaff, 300.
