The secretary read a letter from Mr. John O'Connell, M.P., in which the Hon. Gentleman acquainted the association that he had given notice of his intention to bring under the consideration of the House of Commons, on an early day, the question of the repeal of the union; the document also recommended a " re peal mission" through the country, with a view "to revive the repeal organization in every quarter." Mr. J. H. Dunne submitted to the meeting the recent letter from his Holiness the Pope to the Roman Catholic Primate of Ireland, and argued that the appearance of that document proved to demonstration that English influence was operating on the Court of Rome. The letter ti om the Propaganda proved that, but it also demonstrated that the machinations of England had been entirely defeated. On concluding his observations Mr. Dunne read, "as the beat com mentary on the letter of his Holiness," the answer of Dr. Higgins, Roman Catholic Bishop of Ardagh, to the Primate. (This document will be found below). The secretary announced the receipt of 301. from the clergy ef the diocese of Kilmacduagh, forwarded by the Right Rev. Dr. French. At the termination of the proceedings the rent for the week was said to Debts before Sir Oirrix WILSON, 011'4 01 the a,,, Court, at his chambers in Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lain, London, or, In default thereof, they will peremptorily be excluded the benefit of tho said Decree.

Dr. Crolly, Primate of all Ireland, and myself. " My object is to secure the co-operation of . all . true Catholics in supplicating the Holy Father to insitute, through some neutral and unpurchasable agents, a minute and searching inquiry into the conduct of our priesthood, in order that the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, may be known. " The former Mr. Villiers, of a certain celebrity in Spain, and now our self•lauding Viceroy, will, I hepe, condescend to submit to his diplomatic comrades, the present Premier, and Lord Minto, that this is the real fair play of which the English Government boasts so much, but which, as the world knows, they practise so little.—l have the honour to be, Mr. Editor, your obedient servant, "04 W.

" I have now for thirteen years conducted the Exeter Hygelan Die lenearn wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been treated gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine of the British College of Health, and I am still more confirmed in my *Pluton (from practical experience, not in one or two cases, but in hundreds), that the Hygeian system is founded in truth. The cases Which have bean cured by that excellent medicine have not been of a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment that Patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the Hygeian medicines. The names of the parties and their addresses are recorded in my book for the inspection of the public. I have treated upwards of 300 poor patients during the past year, and have now about 150 on the Dispensary books.

" My dear Lord,— I have the honour to submit to your Lordship's consideration a communication which I lately received from the Holy See, of which I give you a correct copy, and after you have read it, I hope that you will favour me with a line on the subject. [here the text of the letter of Cardinal Fransoni, with a translation, are given.] " I have the honour to remain, with the highest respect, my dear Lord, your obedient servant, " k W. CROLLY. "The Right Rev. Dr. O'Higgins, Ballymahon.” " THE BISHOP OP AEDAGM TO THE PRIMATE. " I3allymahon, January 29, 1848. "My dear Lord,—l have the honour to acknow ledge the receipt of your Grace's note of the 27th inst., together with a copy of a letter from his Eminence Cardinal Fransoni, dated the 3d of this month. On the subject r.ferrecl to in that letter your Grace desires to have a line from me; and 'a compliance with your request I beg to say, that I believe your Grace is now bound to make known to the Propaganda Fide, that a most wicked and diabo lical conspiracy is being carried on by almost all the English and Irish press against the Catholic hierarchy, the Catholic priests, and the Catholic people of Ire land ; that Lord Minto was sent to Rome to deceive the Holy See, and that the means he and his friends use are notorious calumnies against us all. " I think also the Cardinal should be informed that, under the name of legal right the body of the land lords of Ireland are literally starving the poor, and doing so without a single remonstrance from our Lord-Lieutenant, or his employer, Lord John Russell, and that neither ever published a single word in vindication of the Archbishop of Tuam, the Bishop of Elphin, and other Irish ecclesiastics, notwith standing that they demonstrated the charges made against them and their priests to be the premeditated slanders of their enemies. Of course you will further state, that whilst the whole of the English and Irish G overnment press publish daily every sort of ruffian libels on ourselves and clergy, they scarcely ever publish our defence. I think, too, the Propaganda ought to be solicited to send over to Ireland souse in telligent, pious, and independent Italian ecclesiastic, with instructions to go from diocese to diocese—visit our priests and our poor—see matters with his own eyes, and report to Rome without consulting the feel ings of any party, religious or political. I have my self publicly suggested that England should send honest Protestants among us to ascertain the truth; and if this be done, and that the Propaganda send the ecclesiastic referred to, Rome will soon be enlightened —the conspiracy blown up—the real friends of order, justice, and mercy made known to the world, and the intrigues of the unprincipled exhibited to the execra tion of every lover of truth. " For my own part I have for the last two years constantly gone through the most afflicted portions of this diocese, preaching patience and resignation to my persecuted and half-starved people, and my reward is to be involved, in common with my brethren, in the infamous calumnies that are heaped on our heads. Our Viceroy, too, has proclaimed portions of the ,iiocese as free from agrarian outrages as the streets of London, and yet he calls himself our friend and protector ! The people are dying everywhere from cold and hunger, and still he refuses to apply, in their favour, the laws or the other means at his dis posal ! Were Rome to know (and please God she shall know) how we are persecuted, she would look on our forbearance almost as miraculous. If we write a line in an honest journal to repudiate calumny and bring public opinion to bear c onstitutionally upon our heartless rulers, we are at once gazetted by the n accused of d o r t i l ; e: r n ep s rs o: i s u e , m n a h n s o se e c y r r i e t r v d ph h i r fl e a n a i ov ge n disturbers landlord they pa o t n it fe en o v n r t e t that h r o ai s t n l ( dire ct l y peace i e r re C resigned, i t g i n doingtrai he l l c o e fi .it n d rl eyAe altars, s a sl death staring them in the face, and neither they nor myself shall ever seek redress except by those peace ful and constitutional means to which every subject of the empire has an inalienable and undoubted right. " Finally, I say, let effective means be taken to enlighten Rome on every detail of this infamous anti nati,nal and anti-Catholic conspiracy, and the ene mies to our creed and of our race will he humbled, and some little justice done to poor calumniated and per secuted Ireland. " I have instructed Dr. Cullen to furnish to the authorities in Rome an authentic copy of my letter to Mr. John O'Connell. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your obedient servant, " > , 4 W.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 9 * IdIIDFORD-STItEET. BBDFORD-SQUARE, LONDN. Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the university of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, fec. 'Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. le 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 many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses aro always injurious ; the gift, which when lased in moderation le fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the nrolifie source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, Si AO eaters and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, gken any other to which it is subject. This work contains au accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology •of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions to health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more impertance than the preservatioa of the health, sad of the physical capabilities of which every max should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy Victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired to early life •r from the follies of advanced age, while snfferiag from their invariable consequexces, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict hint and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In aetieg thus, he forgets that accurate dlscriminatien 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 posse- sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost ciefidence should be extended. Dr. LA'IIIERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatreent of these diseases.

The imposing ceremony of laying the foundation stone of this great national undertaking took place on Friday, the 4th inst., in the presence of a vast con course of spectators. The stone was laid on the south .east side of the dock by George Hudson Esq., M.P., a variety of coins, copies of the local newspapers, and a zinc plate containing the names of the directors and officers of the company, having been previously deposited. Among those present were the Duke of Cleveland, Sir Haworth Williamson, M.P., R. Stephenson, Esq., M.P., the Lord Mayor of York, the Mayor of Sunderland, Joseph John Wright, Esq., and the prin cipal influential gentlemen in the neighbourhood. After the usual formula had been gone through, Mr. HUDSON stood on the stone and said—Mr. Mayor, my Lord Duke, ladies and gentlemen—l have been called upon to-day to perform the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of an undertaking which will tend to the prosperity of the port of Sunderland, and this important district, and to the welfare of this great nation.—(Hear, hear.) lam sensible that this task would have been better performed by my Lord Duke or the Mayor, but having received the request of my colleagues, I have undertaken to perform the duty, and I assure you that no one could have per formed it with snore pleasure and satisfaction, for there is no one who can feel a deeper and warmer inte rest in its success. As an Englishman, lam warmly attached to everything that contributes to raise the nation in the estimation of other countries, and to advance its interests. You cannot undertake works of this nature, giving facility both to the import and export of produce, without advancing the national weal. It was one of the glories of England, that works which in other countries are undertaken by the Government, are here conducted by private enter prise, and if there is one thing more than another which tends to raise this country in the eyes of foreign countries it is the large amount of money— not raised by taxation but voluntarily contributed — expended in internal improvement. Neighbouring nations may have more beautiful and magnificent fountains, but it is not necessary in speaking of the excellences of other nations to depreciate our own.— (Hear, hear.) I would ask, however, whether there is any country in the world which, for practical and useful works, can be compared with England.— (Hear, hear.) We were told that it was impossible to construct the docks now in progress, but we have confidence in the gentlemen who have under taken this work that they will accomplish what they promised. We have not gorse forward hap-hazard with this work, but cautiously and quietly, and I have no doubt we shall succeed in all our designs,and induce parties to bring their vessels to this port, which must benefit a district teeming as it does with population. In a philanthropic point of view this un dertaking is worthy of public support ; it will be valuable as a harbour of refuge, and thus alike pre serve life and property. After complimenting the ladies who were present, he proceeded—l do not think the sun of England is yet set. We have been told our sailors are slack by a gentleman who during his travels became enamoured of .fereign ports, and this statement has been givesseA thetithotity of the American Consul. Why;, WhOver heard of idle Engi lish sailors ?—(Laughts ,and applause.) I invite . tat gentleman to c0me...40. :Sustd_erlisiiel , end see the honest British tars for 'himself ; he Will not, then, hereafter have to ask the American Consul respecting the character of our sailors. He will be able to bear testimony to the fact that the British seaman is su perior to any sailor in the world.—(Loud cheers.) Ladies and gentlemen, the ceremony which I have performed this day I hope is the harbinger of still greater cause for rejoicing on a future occasion, when we shall have to assemble to witness the opening of this dock.—(Cheers.) We have begun the work, and we have steadily and quietly pursued our course, not having stopped our men even during the late commercial distress.—(Hear, hear.) We have gore on quietly and cautiously ; but our contractor, whom lam happy to see here to-day; and With whom I have previously had dealings in connexion with other undertakings, and who I believe is a man who will perform every thing which he promises, had not, during the heaviest crisis which ever affected the commercial world, had not to discontinue the works. —(Applause.) I say it is matter for congratulation that throughout that crisis, which was brought about by the cruel operation of a measure, which I will not discuss in this assembly, we were able to go steadily forward with this undertaking. And I take this fact as an indication that the - directors, before entering upon it, have sat down and carefully counted the cost; so that they might not enter into engagements whiCh they were not able to meet ; and they are prepared to go on with the works so long as the shipping inte rest shall require a good and sufficient harbour and dock.—(Cheers.) You want a southern outlet for your produce, in proof of which I need only refer to a fact of very recent date, viz., that only a fortnight ag o, 2,000 sail (at any rate not less than 1,500) were blocked up in the Tyne and the Wear for the want of the very accommodation which we are now about to give.—(Bear, hear.) Gentlemen, lam told by my friend Mr. Murray, in whom I have the greatest reliance, from experience, in seeing what he has performed, that this dock will not only ' be a protection to property, but also an outlet by which the great staple . conimodity--coal—will find its way to the consuming districts, whatever may be the state of the weather, wind, or tide.—(Cheers ) This dock will not only be an advantage in a com mercial point of view, but, as has been referred to by Mr. Bramwell. it will prove highly beneficial to the poor of the district, whd are dependent for this ab solute necessary of life--a necessary of life of which, next to food, it is highly important that there should always be a constant supply of in the poor man's cot tage.—(Cheers.) On that account it is that I feel the greatest pride in being connected with this un dertaking, the accomplishment of which is con nected with so great a boon to this district. — (Cheers.) Gentlemen, the port of Sunderland has been used for the s!sipinent of coal for the last two cen turies; and I am quite convinced that when this dock is completed, you will have a large increase of shipping, not only from London, but from all parts of the world. You will have vessels visit your shores laden with rich produce, and instead of being obliged to take ballast back with them, they will take a valuable cargo back to the shores from whence they came.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, these are the consi derations I say which attach themselves to this undertaking, and I will not deny that I rank in this country as one of the greatest advantages of our undertakings that we have conducted them in such a manner that they have generally proved remunerative to the shareholders. If the district wants this accom modation, and all this be true, how can any man doubt that this undertaking will prove productive to the parties investing their money. I think it will ; indeed lam certain it will. The vessels are built so much larger than they used to be for merly, that it is absolutely necessary to have a dock of corresponding dimensions. This is a con sideration which will commend itself to the minds of every person present. And there is another gratifying circumstance, that last year, with all your disadvantages, and with a total want of dock accommodation, the quantity of coals shipped was considerably augmented.—(Hear, hear.) Some alarm has been created in consequence of the expres sion of an opinion by a great statesman, lest the coal of this district should be exhausted.—(Laughter.) I have looked a little into this question, because the statement to which I have referred came from one high in authority, and therefore deserving of respect; but what turns out the result of my investigation?' Why, that for 1,700 years you may go on shipping to the same extent that you have done before, and that even then I don't know how much coal the re will he left.—(Applause.) Ladies and gentlemen, there is another disadvantage which, by the con struction of this dock, we propose to remedy. Some three or five weeks ago you had a large fleet of vessels lying here, and the damage done in onss night was upwards of 10,0001., and on a previous occasion I believe that damage was done to the amount of as much as 30,000/. under similar circum stances, which we must recollect, creates not damage only, but endangers life. Therefore if the port c Sunderland had not had the accommodation which wa 3 thus rendered absolutely necessary, surely the shippini ; interest would have looked out for some other por',;. The importance of this undertaking is manifested ly ' the unanimous feeling of pleasure evinced by all vsli o have attended here to-day to witness the performance of this interesting ceremony. To the directors of Islay undertaking it is always a matter of satisfaction to feel that the public participate in their anxieties, : and are consequently ready to give them their cm in tenance and support. No great undertaking like this can be carried through without deep thought arvd much anxiety, and that being so,lit must be satisfac tory to those who are in responsible situations to know that their hands are strengthened by a gene: ous public, who are both able and willing to esteem and appreciate the noble work which they are abou t to accomplish.—(Cheers.) In their behalf, then, I beg to offer to the ladies, to his Grace the Duke of Clieve land, to my Hon. Colleague, and to all, indeed,, who I now see around me, their grateful thanks far ho nouring us with their presence and countenanc e this day; and I trust that this work may, by the hipping 0 Him, without whom nothing can succeed , be pro ductive of the highest advantage to this nation ; and I appeal therefore to our reverend friends present to pray to that God, who rules the destinies of us all, that lie will vouchsafe to bless this undertaking, and to enable us to accomplish all that has been put into our hearts, and that we are anxious to perform. The Rev. W. Webb then offered up an eloquent and appropriate prayer ; after which a salute by seve ral guns was fired, and three hearty cheers being given by the assembled multitude, the proceedings at the docks concluded. A public dinner took place in the evening at the Bridge Hotel, to celebrate the important event of the day. Mr. Hudson presided, supported on the right by the Duke of Cleveland; and on the left by John Scott, Esq., the worthy and respected Mayor of Sun derland, C. Bramwell, Esq., R. Spoor, Esq., and William Ord, Esq., Alderman and Vice-Admiral of the port, acted as Vice-Chairman. Among the com pany was the principal number of the gentlemen who had been present at the laying of the stone. After the dinner the usual loyal toasts—" The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," "The Army and Navy," &c.—having been given, and received with great enthusiasm, The CHAIRMAN said they had now come to the toast of the evening, but as he had already dwelt so long on the subject he should not detain them at any length. There was no toast, however, which came !bore to their hearts than stsecess to the undertaking they had met to celebrate that day. Perhaps some of his friends might say," Have you taken proper means to secure its success ?" He replied that he believed the directors had taken every possible means of doing so.—(Cheers.) They had obtained the assistance of an engineer in whose ability and judgment they had the greatest confidence and reliance, and they had also secured the services of contrac tors who, although they would take care to get all that is due to them, are one of the beat firms of contractors in England.—(Applause.) The next point was, had they the requisite capital at their die. posal ? He thought this would be found quite an easy matter, and that they would be able to provide the money as rapidly as the contractor did the work. The contract is to expire in nearly two years, but he knew that if they found the money his friends, the Messrs. Craven, would very much expedite the undertaking. It would be to their interest to do so, and he thought he could pledge himself, on behalf of the directors, that the money should be forthcoming ; if the shareholders could not find it, it should be found by some means or other.—(Cheers.) Having an Act of Parliament, which it was not their intention to amend, but to execute and carry out, he trusted they would go on, and as speedily as possible corn plete the work which they had begun, so that they might have before long East and West Indian ships lying in the docks and sailing from the port. — (Cheers.) He was satisfied the wants of the district require the undertaking, and they had adopted every means for securing its prosperity. He therefore called upon the company to join him in drinking " Success to the Sunderland Docks."—(Drank with rapturous and oft repeated cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then rose, and in a short and ap propriate speech, proposed " The health of his Grace the Duke of Cleveland." The Duke of CLEVELAND, on rising, was again warmly cheered. He could assure them, with the greatest sincerity, that he was not only much flattered by their kindness. but thankful to the directors for the invitation which they had given him of being present on that occasion, and witnessing an interest ing ceremony connected with perhaps the greatest un dertaking ever attempted in this part of the country. —(Applause.) He congratulated the directors on the auspicious commencement of this mighty undertaking, the success of which, he might venture to say, was now no longer doubtful.—(Cheers.) lie observed that in this country enterprise had always kept pace with wealth, and by skill and experience scientific improvements had been brought to the highest state of perfection. He might state that many of the inventions of modern times are of so gigantic a nature, and have so rapidly been brought forward, that the review seems more like a fiction or dream, than to partake of sober reality. He believed the first railway was between Stockton and Darlington, then followed that between Man chester and Liverpool ; and they all knew the state of perfection to which railways had since been brought. Had it not been tor these great under takings, they would never have heard of the skill of a Stephenson—(Applause)—a Locke, a Brunel, or a Rendell; and perhaps they might never have heard of the genius of a Iludson.—(Cheers.) The Chair man bad already remarked that not having visited this town since 1812 he was much astonished to find the alterations and improvements which had taken place. lie remembered they there was a poor miser able pier, and nothing in the shape of docks; but indeed it was so long ago that he had almost forgotten what sort of a place Sunderland was.—(Laughter.) But n othinglgratified him more than to witness recent improvements, and be was [sure that if ehe dock proved as successful as they had a right to anticipate, the greatest credit would be due to his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hudson), as well for the boldness of his under taking, the risk which he had run, and his intense anxiety to benefit the town which he so worthily re presents, and which he trusted in God his Hon. Friend will long continue to represent, as well for trusted hteral te.l the sf Tuie pDcs oomet R B his own satisfaction as for the benefit of the people of Sunderland. — (Cheers.) Haying said this much, he would allow him to propose the worthy a Chairman, with three times h mpny :Ar,rtoast was drank with loud acclamations.) theiri briefly respon d e d t o th e t oas t. C HRI STOPHER RAmwELL, Esq., proposed the health of" the Marquis of Londonderry, the Lord lieutenant of the County," which was drunk with general applause. The CHAIRMAN then gave "the Mayor and Corpo ration of Sunderland." The MAYOR returned thanks. Mr. Alderman ORD, in short and graceful lan guage, proposed " the Lord Mayor and Corporation of York. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. The health of " the Members for the Borough," being given by R. Spoor, Esq., the Chairman ac knowledged the toast; in and having paid a high co -I:litrienttomr. Murray,urr ay, the Engineer of the Docks , con cluded by proposing his health, to which Mr. Murray responded in suitable terms. Morerox, Esq., in brief and suitable terms, pro posed the health of " the Members for the County:' J. J. WRIGHT, Esq., next said that the toast which he had to propose was that great interest on which the welfare of the community, and the happiness and prosperity of the nation more depended than upon any other—an interest which had tended more than any other to promote the wealth, power, and glory, with which it had pleased Providence to bless this country. —(Applauee.)- l le need not say that he alluded to the shipping interest of Great Britain. If it had not been at that late period of the evening, he might have called their attention to the importance of the shipping interest, first, nationally, then locally, and lastly, in its Connexion with that great enterprize which had been sense questions, y the happy cause of t heir assembli ng togetherthat night , that by every means G od had p lace d in his power. He but he could not help w ould puttingbe b whe a England owed i ts tower i ng psi occasion,fevv common nations, b u t t o B r iti s h ship ping t t askingo niiitt r hh i e e em f n to F,ct them on o scale of ping ? To what did they owe their national freedom hut to the wooden walls of old England ? To what did they ascribe their pre-eminence in the wide temple of the world's commerce but to the enterprise of that British shipping, which carried the produce of British to decline, the sun of their manufactures to every civilized country upon which swept hthiat into gre at oblivion. t p e p s i e n t g . If they took away British the sun of heaven shone ? He said that when they would slehbiinent of their national character, the suffered shipping prosperity B a British t a i n s h tplipeinyghad all of late heard riinbtgutto be equally from among their could repose in honour ableßritish name would be osver o i f ie saf s e a t i y d if oae ht t imi h oni e udi y ac lhw r ,d e he re tifhce o ehn v yc e eadslro,l3enhnrefli whichi v s te s y peace. Such was the national import ance of the great interest which he rose to of local aggrandise if they looked at impor tant. To the shipping interest that port owed every thing which it possessed. It was the shipping inte rest, as their engineer mt pro p o se n i , a theyloo local a that would i light h t occasion still a s a fi n s i d ; had just said, which had raised the town from a mere fishing village to the state of prosperity in which they now found it. It was the shipping interest that had so abundantly in creased their trade—that had impelled their manufac tures—that had increases] their population—that had opened out new sources of employment. It was the shipping interest that load raised many gentlemen whom he saw around him from the position of daily labourers to a position of honourable competency. Such was the pervadieg influence of shipping on the part of Sunderland, that it was like that mysterious power which was attributed to a celebrated ruler of Venice—it was everywhere, it was seen every where, and it was felt more where it was neither seen, nor where it could be traced. The welfare of Sunderland docks had ever occupied a sacred place in his affections, and to accomplish which object he had been striving for nearly a quarter of a PUBLICATIONS. THE IRISH CRISIS.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of :;limbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85. are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects uf the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the loge ous and effective ltamoneur machine has been invented. This Invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts cc expands, accordiag to the shallor extended space in which the machine moves, thereby treating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at Intervals with universal spring joists, capable of turning even a ba right haanglving e and the whole is surmount ed with a doable revolving 11, also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in eontinuiug their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors.

Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

UN . FEBRUARY 10, 1848. 7 century. He had devoted to this subject his best energies, and it had demanded many hours of harass ing. attention. In those days there were many diffi culties to be overcome—many interests to be recon ciled ; but to their chairman must the inhabitants of Sunderland stand indebted for the accomplishment of that great undertaking, and he trusted the inhabi tants would be grateful to him, and that posterity would give him all praise. But for his determination to be brief; he might have enlarged much upon this topic ; he could not, however, sit down without offering his fervent aspirations that the prosperity of British shipping and the welfare of Sunderland docks would be evally great, and go hand in hand. D. JoicAssouN, Esq., proposed the next toast— " The health of Robert Stephenson, Esq., the Member for Whitby." Mr. STRPHENSON, in returning thanks, said he could not help expressing the pleasure he felt at see ing the foundation-stone of that great work laid—a work which he believed to be most important to Sunderland at the present time, and one which was colculated eminently to increase the wealth of the town, and excite the enterprise of the people. \\*metals DIGBY SEYMOUR, Esq., of the Northern Circuit, said—l am called upon at a late hour, and when in no small degree fatigued by the heat of the room, and the pervading excitement of the day, to give a toast which certainly does not yield in impor tance to any which has preceded it this evening.— (Hear.) Before addressing myself to my appointed task, 1 must express my thanks to the directors for the singular compliment they have paid me in send ing me a special invitation to be present upon this auspicious occasion. lam connected with Sunder land by such a near and happy tie—(Cheers) —l am so closely related by the bonds of kinsmanship and by the impulse and affections of an enduring friend ship with one of the most honest, most able, and most eloquent of her public men, and I have at all times received such proofs of attention and respect from the people of Sunderland, that I would be failing in a sense of duty if I did not—no matter at how great professional inconvenience—come down to witness and bear a part in the proceedings of this happy day —a day the most fortunate and remarkable in the annals of this ancient town and borough. — ( Loud cheers.) The laying the first stone of the Sunderland Docks is an event in our national as well as our local history, and suggests re flections lull of public as well as private interest. — (Hear, hear.) To-day an example has been set to the industrial enterprise of the country.—(Hear, hear.) To-day an impulse has been given to the energies of British shipping and of our northern trade.—(Hear, hear.) To day we commemorate an advance in our maritime architecture—and to- day another stone has been laid in the temple of general peace.—(Cheers.) Suppose at:the beginning of this century some one now present, who was then full of youth, and hope, and eagerness, had seen a vision, and had heard a voice of prophecy—that he had been taken to some com manding eminence whence he could view the port of Sunderland and the surrounding country, and that it was told him that within fifty years the genius and industry of man would construct a highway between London and Sunderland, over which he could pass and repass with arrowlike speed, accomplishing in nine hours the journey of several days—what a look of incredulity he would assume ! But, suppose further it was said to him—" See you those goodly ships which lie crowded and nestling together, like water• fowl upon the bosom of the river —(Cheers) —and see you yonder those high and jutting banks, that rough and rocky shore; those ships will grow old and decay, but within fifty years, and when other ships trade in our northern sea, that headland will have been removed, that rocky shore sunk and ex cavated, and there will be safe and inviting docks, pleasant moorings, and sheltered harbours, where the largest ships may repose in safety, free from the rage of the ocean and the fury of the storm.—(Loud cheers)—would he believe his in. formant ? Would he not treat as a delusion this promise of industry:so great, and enterprise so am bitious ? Yes ;he would rouse, as it were—he would stir himself from a dream—and exchange for the less cheering impressions of real life the picturings of a romantic fancy. What he could not believe we have witnessed—what he would have doubted we have done.—(Hear, hear.) And yonder, on that wall of the room in which we are now assembled, is a writing which is fall of heavenly wisdom, of sublime and eternal truth—a writing which needs no Daniel to interpret it, a writing which is the proper motto of labour, and should be inscribed on our banners in every enterprise—" Nil desperandum auspice Deo."—(Cheers.) My friend Mr. Wright has re ferred with his usual eloquence and power to the shipping interest of Sunderland, but I cannot refrain from a brief allusion to the subject. I know the topic is a somewhat difficult one upon which to speak without giving offence to some gentlemen here ; but, properly considered, I think the question of the support or repeal of the navigation-laws is not a party question, it is a public, a national, an imperial ques tion. It is an abuse of language to call it a question of party politics. It is a question of life or death, of rise or ruin to the port of Sunderland.—(llear, hear.) But if I must not speak in the language of argument, lest I may disturb our harmony, I shall speak in the voice of warning what will find a response in every breast. I implore our rulers to be cautious. I ask for calm reflection. I demand, in the name of British shipping, that they will deeply meditate, that they will patiently inquire before they lay their inter fering hands upon this ark of the constitution. I would remind them that the shipping interest is not a child of yesterday. 1 would bid them to become students of history, and read how the shipping of this country has steadily increased and is daily increasing under our existing legislation. If they hesitated, or doubted, I would tell them a significant and stubborn fact—that in 1844 the tonnage of this port was 164,592—that rising steadily from th at, in 1845' it was 178,580, and at the close of 1847 the registered tonnage of the port was 192,057.—(Hear, hear.) would say, beware of the fallacy, that the supply cannot equal the demand.—(Hear, hear.) The argu• ment which, justly or unjustly, overthrew the corn laws is not to be repeated here, for whatever the demand for British:ships may be, British shipowners can meet and satisfy it.—(Cheers.) If I was for bidden from using the word protection, they dare not hinder me from using the word persecution. I would say, pause before you provoke or injure the greatest interest in the country; experiments in states are like experiments in the human frame, and your empiric skill must not make its first essays among the ship owners of England. Were my voice unheeded, I would call to my aid the great name of William Huskisson.—(Hear, hear.) I would remind them of his opinion expressed in the debates on the Reci procity system, and how he said, in effect, " Thus far you shall go." Let this be the frontier and limit of your concessions. If I was still unheeded, I would appeal to the parent himself of political economy, the author of the " Wealth of Nations," who said, " Two interests require protection."—(Hear, hear.) The first I must not al lude to now ; but the second was the shipping interest of the country ! —(Cheers.) Sir, the coal trade, too, must receive an impulse from the construction of these docks, and ether carrying trades will visit us more frequently. I believe it will lead to a better trade with the East and West Indies, with America and the Baltic. — (near, hear.) I believe it will lead to a larger ex port from the mineral districts around, and that assisted by increased railway accommodation, and facilities of transit, a wide field will be opened up of inland traffic. I believe the most sanguine man in this room cannot over-estimate the probable amount of good to be derived from the construction of these docks.—(Hear, hear.) It will lead besides to peculiar results affecting us locally and at home in Sunderlan da d. Sir, I remember to have read in my schoolboy a .'a something in the elegant Eneid of Virgil, which applicable to the rising hopes and opening prospects of Sunderland. He tells us that serpents at times rub off their old skin among rough and pointed rocks, and come forth in bright and glittering youth again. And it seems to me as if Sunderland, flinging off the slough of age and indolence , w as rekindling the light of her juvenile days, and bracing herself with new born vigour !—(Loud cheers.) When I look to her Athenaeum—when I hear of h er Committees of Im provements—when I consider her sanitary measures —I hail the advent of prosperity and happiness.. I u l n lo c m om an admire the swift-going wheels of this moral revolution —and I regard the construction of these docks as a extravagance of record—a monument—and .a . perpetual triumph of this patriotic and enrerprising spirit I—(Cheers.) c e a t r i en remember ef. t these hbeelr. docks uxtuhrayt sa u a es l xt s ,tor theaov ta* nd the splendid age he lived in and , adorned, alluded to " the building out of the sea,' . as he expressed it. Had lie lived in our time, I think we could have shown him a work . of public utility, of which old 'shei h i o s historian, rail architecture ii s tt p e. Rome, in her pal . miest days, would have proudly claimed the ex ecution. It seems to me as if Sunder land was happily destined to exhibit to the world the rarest :specimens of British engin ee ri n g, talent, and arc hitectural skill. Look at her bridge—(Cheers)— and tell me is it yet surpassed ? If it be, is the time long gone by, when thousands hastened hither to gaze upon it as an arch flung by very magic over your tall ships and busy river?—(Cheers.) And where else can we find labour so wonderfully directed and applied as in these docks ? Where else such piles of huge and solid masonry ? Where else such vastness of general design, such carefulness in minute detail ? For my own part lam lost in wonder and delight when I look upon these works, now rapidly advancing, and this delight is not lessened when I consider that every pile driven, in the construction of those docks, is a new fulcrum for the prosperity of the country.—(Hear, and cheers.) Lastly, Sir, when you laid the foundation stone of the Sunderland hocks, you laid another stone in the Temple of orGeu trade, s e r p r en e car credit,ta at t hob inlPeae and c Peace.—(Hear, fortunes, e o . r—htue suspension(cnlke- es e d, a merchants—amidstr, hear.)

Sir, I believe the French are not a nation of buccaneers and freebooters.—(Hear, hear.) Piracy is not part of their tactics, nor is it legalised by the code of Napoleon. Besides, they are an essentially discriminating people—they knew there is a difference between an Arab chief and an English yeoman.—(Cheers.) Nor will they argue so strangely that John Bull may be taken asleep, because they coaxed Abd-el-Kader to Paris.—(Hear, and laughter.) Far be it from me to say that we should slumber when danger approaches, or be slow to assume an imposing attitude when an enemy is at our gates, or frowns upon our shores—(Hear, hear) —but I would not have our national energies roused unnecessarily into action. I would not have us irritate the foe by providing too zealously for the supposed consequences of his vengeance.—(Hear, hear.) To fear an enemy is to flatter him; and too eagerly to make ready for war is to shake the stability of peace. —(Cheers.) Sir, I respect great military talents, and no tame is more deservedly bright than that of him who has led our armies to battle in defence of our rights, our liberties, our national existence. I would not detract from the honours our soldiers have ga thered on well-fought battle-fields, or pluck a laurel from their victorious brows. I would not lower the dignity of our flag—that flag which has floated tri umphantly in every clime under which a Sydney oon quered and a Nelson fell—that flag Which has braved a thousand years The battle and the breeze."—(Cheers.) But, if I am to learn the state of a nation from the character of its triumphs I would sooner argue for the wisdom and stability of England from a triumph at which you, Mr. Hudson, presided—(Hear, hear)— a triumph over natural difficulties surmounted, over time and distance vanquished—a triumph of waggon roads led across fens and marshes—of merchandise and passengers carried through divided hills and filled-up vallies—of bridges crossing deep and rapid streams, and spanning them with giant arches—of rocks excavated—of heights levelled—of matter and masses yielding to human industry and skill—a tri• umph of peaceful labour and successful enterprise— than from the proudest triumphs of our most memor able battles.—(Loud cheers) Who would not prefer that campaign of art, and science, and skill, to the squandering of a nation's money. or the shedding of a people's blood ?—(Hear, hear.) Who would not prefer the glory of a newly-opened dock or railway to the brilliant recollections of a Blenheim or a Waterloo ?—(Cheers.) Who would not prefer the peaceful works we have this day witnessed to the toils, the troubles, the tears of war ? War ! the lord of desolation! the autocrat of ruin ! widowing and wasting, depopulating and unhallowing—paralyzing the strong man's arm and frenzying the ood man's heart—sacrificing the hopes, the comforts, the liberties of a free people to its own overwhelming and tyrannous necessities 1— (Loud cheers.) Sir, lam told of national defences, and that the necessity for them is urgent. If by national defences it be understood that we should have a sufficient standing army at home ready to check the advance of an invading foe, and show a battlefront in the hour of peril and the first alarms of war, I agree with the wisdom of such a preparation ; but if forts and bastions, and watchtowers, and military bulwarks and erections be the national defences in tended, then, Sir, I think there are other defences more worthy of attention. I think that inland traffic, maritime trade, security to the shipping interests, a steady rate of wages, a mild and humane poor-law, an extended education o: the people, sanitary im provements, commercial credit, and a more freely acting currency, are far better national defences. — (Hear, hear.) Am Ito be told that an enemy would feel less jealousy at seeing the ships in our northern harbours freighted with British coal instead of being armed with British cannon ? Am Ito be told that an enemy would look with more disquiet at a new fort built upon the heights of Dover than upon new docks constructing in the ports of Sunderland ? No, Sir. The first best way to defend the country is to make the country best worth preserving.—(Loud cheers.) Merchant ships and merchant seamen, maritime trade and commercial credit—here lie our true strength—no foe can be really terrible while we are girt around with this national panoply I—(Hear, hear.) The man who leaves his plough to defend his fireside may be unskilled in military tactics, but he supplies the deficiency of his skill by the bravery and fervour of his heart, and believe me, Sir, it is not the fear of future defeats, nor the memory of ancient triumphs, but it is a spirit of peaceful enterprize— the steadier action of labour and capital—domestic happiness and social contentment —which can keep alive in this country a genuine and indomitable cou rage—which can foster our native strength—which can develop our insular resources, and make us feared, envied, and respected by the nations of the world !—(Cheers.) Therefore, I rejoice, above all, in the proceedings of this day, for we have given to the public good, new hostages of public tranquillity ! In conclusion, Sir, when you gave " The Docks," and Mr. Wright "The Shipping Interest," you gave between you the toast which I have now to give con jointly. The shipping interest is so related to the I docks, and trade to the shipping interest, and the port of Sunderland to all of them, that its wishing success to one you wish it to all. Sir, I do wish success to all. May they form an enduring and happy co-partnership. Long may they flourish, dispensive of local and general good. Whatever clouds lower elsewhere, may the sunshine of prosperity be upon the decks, the shipping, and the trade of Sunderland ! (Loud cheers.) May they advance and be promoted together; and, inasmuch as they are so closely and intimately con nected, may their success be one and mutual !—and may this golden band be never disunited !—(Cheers.) .1.: Dr. 13Kow.si proposed the health of M rs.

STATE OF THE POOR. DUBLIN, FEB. 7.—The accounts from the western counties are not altogetherso deplorable as those received last week. In Gal wa y union, where paid guardians areinstalled, steps have been taken to save the desti tute peasantry from absolute starvation. The Poor law Commissioners have directed that there shall be no election of guardians this year, so that the affairs of the union will continue to be administered by the paid vice-guardians. The Limerick Examiner gives a further most afflicting account of the condition of the poor in that quarter. That journal says : " Some unaccountable fatality must attend the deliberations of the Limerick board of guardians. At comprehends many men of undoubted intelligence i and great personal humanity, a nd yet ts measures are defective and abortive ; the depopulating process thrives under it as well as under the most landlord ridden board in Ireland. Wi t hi n the . workhouse the deaths for the last week v4Tre thirty-three and without, the number, preventible by a proper a pplication of the poo r -law, must amount to twi ce as many more. In this union perhaps one hundred graves are filled every week by the defective opera tion of the poor-law. A bill of 30/. was recently paid one party for the conveyance of patients from the workhouse to Barrington's Hospital, and some of these ill-fated beings were taken from their beds in I the very crisis of their sickness, trundled into a
