fentiant on ALrlborough-hill, and after knocking at the gate, I got over the garden rails, which are very low. My daughter raid Mrs. Farr, sen., a visit; but I don't know that it was without invitation. have understood from my daughter, that she wrote the first letter to Mr. Farr. She has no fArtune but herself. She had been governess at Lady Barham's. Of these forty-five letters, most, if not all, are of my daughter's hand-writing. Mr. Maize had made pro posals of marriage to my daughter, and she broke off the match because it was disagreeable to her parents. My daughter told me that she wrote a much greater number of letters to the defendant than he wrote to her. She never complained that the defendant did not answer her letters. Mr. Gough, jun. having recovered, his examina tion was resumed.—The defendant is a widower with one child. Mrs. Farr has repeatedly invited me to their house, and they have been frequently at mine. The defendant never complained that my sister had written to him. I info:ed Mr. Farr that try sister had no fortune. The following letters were read : Bristol, May 18, 18126. My dearest Isabella,—ln consequence of my father and mother being out of town, and my having previously re quested the postman, should he have any letters for me, to leave them on the Hill, I did not get your favour until it was too late to answer it per return, which, from its con tents, I should most certainly have done. My dear girl, is it necessary for me to say, that your letter afforded me the greatest degree of pleasure ? Indeed, nothing on earth could hare given me so much. I read it over and over again with feelings I cannot describe ; and you may rest assured, that the confidence placed in me shall never be misused. My dear Isabella, I again repeat, that you are the only individual that is the counterpart of one I once was happy with. That, however, is past. I have, I hope, had my share of affliction. Your own feelings will tell vou what mine must have been under the circumstances. You, I hope, fill up the blank the unfeeling hand of death has left me. That I love you, you cannot doubt. I feel convinced you know I do ; and I feel most happy in the assurance that I have not misplaced them. Happiness un mixed with care in this world, I know we cannot enjoy ; but the sweet commerce of love, when it is (as I am convinced it is with us) mutual, makes the rugged path of life, comparatively speaking, a lawn. May it be so with us. I am certain, from what has transpired between us, you could he content to share my misfortunes, should it so happen. I therefore tender you my all—and you may with certainty assure yourself, that I am devoted alone to you ; and may the Being who is the controller of all things forget me. when I forget my love ! You ask me if my father and mother have noticed our attachment to each other ? Thev have not, nor do I think they will ; but as 1 before told you, this is the only subject I should not consult them on. I read that part of your letter with much pleasure, wherein vou state that you have devoted two days to Bristol. I need not say I shall be most happy to again see you. I look forward with pleasure to the time when we may enjoy each other's company without the restraint of a single thought. Until that time, my dearest Isabella, believe me to be your's affectionately, W. FARR. P. S. I hope your mother is better, and that the rest of the family are well. Our folks are all quite well, as is likewise my dear little boy. I complied with your injunc tion relative to him, with pleasure. This is a sad scrawl, but I know you will excuse it, when I tell you that I have a very had cold, with the head-ache, and was obliged to go to bed at seven o'clock. Therefore, you must—for I can scarcely hold up my head. _ _ Bristol, June 16, 1826. My dear Isabella,—According to my promise, I have embraced the earliest opportunity of writing to you; but before I say one word on any other subject, allow me to apologise for leaving you in the abrupt manner I did, the last time I had the pleasure of seeing you. Believe me I was extremely sorry to de so, but as I eras in a measure compelled, I hope you will not for a moment consider I meant it as a slight to you ; I assure you I did not, and I do hope that my dear Isabella will not impute it to any other than the true cause, namely—that having pledged ruyself, in conjunction with others, to do my utmost to wards returning our late worthy Member, R. H. Davis, Esq. again to his seat in the House of Commons. I am happy to say that we have succeeded beyond our most san guine expectations, and that gentleman is now elected by a greater majority than ever was known in this city. Mr. Protheroe's friends, I am sorry to say, failed in their attempt to elect him for the v.-ant of cash ; and Mr. Bright, by spending an immense sum, has recovered his former situa tion, and will be chaired to-morrow, the poll having closed this day. I sincerely hope you arrived home safe, and found your mother better. I assure you, now this bother is over, shall wish for your society, and hope that, ere long, your mother's health will he perfectly re-established, that I may again enjoy the pleasure of your company. For the fret time since }-Os left, I this evening took our accus tomed walk to Pedland, and most sincerely did I regret being deprived of the beloved companion who last accom panied me in that walk. I hope, my dearest love, you will not let unnecessary fears, on my account, disturb your mind ; for rest assured, though absent in person, you are not forgotten by me, and I, with pleasure, believe the feel ing mutual ; to know that it was otherwise would make me the most unhappy being imaginable. But Ido flatter myself I possess your most affectionate regard, and it ever shall he nay study to merit a continuance of the same. I must now conclude, as I shall not be able to put this in the post. lam quite well, as is my dear little boy, who is now comfortably asleep by me. I hope to hear from you soon, as I am sure you must he well aware it will afford Me, na small degree of pleasure to know that one whom I so dearly love is well and happy. Remember me to your friends at home, and believe me your affectionate friend, WILLIAM FARR. Mr. Lt:DLow addressed the Jury for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant BOSINQUET recapitulated the facts to the Jury. Verdict fcr the plaintiff.—Damasres 2501. ANGREZINI'S EXHIBITION. We were favoured yesterday with a private view of several pieces of sculpture, executed in the first s -tyle of excellence by Mr. Sievier, and now exhibiting at 209, Regent-street. The exhibition contains, besides' the well known Sleeping Bacc haute, (a most exquisite specimen of art); a copy of Canova's Groupe of the Graces ; Pity—the idea of which is drawn from Mrs. Barbauld's apologue;—and more par. ticularly a eoiOssal figure of Christ on the Cross. This is really a very grand and imposing piece of sculpture. The expression of a divine and benevo lent resignation, when the feelings of the man hare ceased, being conceived and executed with all the judgment and the genius of a master. The anatomy too of the figure, together with the action of the muscles, are delineated with an attention to nature, which is but too often overlooked, as of inferior im portance. Mr. Sievier, is the most promising young sculptor of his day; his bust of Lord Eldon, alone is sufgcient to ensure him no ordinary measure of lame; but this is not enough, he has invariably, on every occasion, used his utmost exertions • which, backed with his tried abilities, will place him at no distant date, on the pinnacle of excellence. His ex hibition, we hear, is likely to prove popular. BRIGHTOI‹, APRIL 15. —Tho demoustra tinny of joy at the recent changes in the Administration have, in Sussex, exceeded the usual bounds. The eleva tion of Mr. Canning is the general topic of conversation, and -re seldom or ever remember to have witnessed a more general expression of satisfaction at any political event of the like kind than has been expressed at the arrangement of so enlightened a Prime Minister, with such liberal sup laort as that of Messrs. Huskisson and Robinson. The apr po;ntinent of his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence to the Admiralty is also hailed here as an auspicious omen of a better administration of naval affairs. Even in the vil lages the news, already spread, is hailed with joy, and will require some determination on the part of a few who are averse to public rejoicings on such occasions, to prevent those popular demonstrations of joy to which the peasant population seem so disposed. They connect the names of Canning and Huskisson with those of liberal policy with respect to trade, and enlightened views of religious and po litical liberty. From across the water we learn that the change has produced an extraordinary sensation in France. .LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.—The follow inginteresti,g Works are nearly ready for Publication, by Mr. Culburn, New Burlington-street, viz.

Yesterday the inhabitants of the eastelu part of the metropolis were highly gratified by the ascent of Mr. Charles Green, in his new and splendid balloon, from the bowling-green of the Royal Eagle Tavern, in the Mile-end-road. The inflation commenced at an early hour on Monday evening, under the super intendence of Mr. ,'Taggart, of the British Gas Company's works in Ratcliffe Highway, and was completed before mid-day; from which time until evening, and during the whole of yesterday, until within half an hour of the ascent, small parties were accommodated by Mr. Green with ascents to a given height, the balloon being secured by lengthy ropes. Towards three o'clock, the time fixed for the ascent, the gardens were filled with company of the highest respectability, who evinced the utmost delight and ", , T,tctionat the sight of the stupendous machine, this being the first occasion on which the public gene rally had had an opportunity of seeing it fully in flated, it having been built by Mr. Green expressly for his nocturnal ascents last season from the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, and when filled contains 141,364 gallons of hydrogen gas, and is com posed of 1,200 yards of silk, of a peculiar tex ture, worked in alternate stripes of crimson arid gold-colour. About four o'clock the necessary pre parations having been previously made, a partial ascent to the height of about 300 feet was effected, from which height a parachute was despatched, containing a fine tabby cat, which landed safely within the enclosure of the bowling-green. This manoeuvre, which was extremely well managed, appeared to give very ge neral satisfaction. Every arrangement being now completed, a pilot balloon was sent up, which at first took a direction due north, but suddenly changed to the westward, and was soon lost to view. A heavy shower of rain, accompanied by a strong current of wind, caused a considerable further delay, but the atmosphere clearing, exactly at six o'clock Mr. Green took his seat in the car, accompanied by Messrs. Fox and Mercer, two professional gentlemen, who had been accepted by Mr. Green as the companions of his aerial flight. At ten minutes past six the word " away " was given, and the machine rose slowly and majestically amidst the shouts of the com pany within and the crowds without the grounds, which were particularly numerous on the occasion. The balloon moved slowly, and at a very moderate height, in the direction of Essex, for the space of ten minutes, when a quantity of ballast being thrown out, and the atmosphere being very dense, it was quickly lost to the eye. In a few minutes, how ever, it became again visible in a direction north north-west, but a heavy fall of rain coming on, all above became obscured, and the spectators departed. This is Mr. Green's 66th ascent. The snow on the Saxon mountains was still from three to six feet deep on the 31st of March, and as the cold continued, and know occasionally fell, it rather in crease thin diminished. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From thf. Pilote, dated Sunday, March 150 (PRIV►TE CORRESPONDENCE.) NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, MARCH 2. Fhe death of the unfortunate Colonel Bourbacki is confirmed. — His head was carried in triumph by the Turks up to the'walls of the Acropolis. The Greeks compo sing the garrison, alarmed at the ill success of the troops of the camp without, sent out in the night two brave Palicari, who passed through the enemy's army to get to the Pirus in order to obtain correct information respecting this unfortunate affair. They found the Greeks very well fortified there, and learnt that Karaiskaki had just gained a brilliant victory. Then the troops in the Pirus, in concert with the garrison of the Acropolis, attacked the Seraskier in his camp. This attack was completely success al ; the Greeks entirely defeated the Turks, took a great quantity of provisions, &c. - and returned into the fortress, which has now a very good stock of provisions. In this sally the heroine, Madame Goura, wife of the celebrated General of that name, was killed at the head of her troops, after having shewn herself worthy of the reputation of her husband. Karais kaki has fixed his camp at Eleusis, where he has effected his junction with the old Caratasso and the patriot Coletti. Omer Pacha, after having been defeated by Ka raiskaki, at Distomo, took to flight, leaving all his baggage and artillery, which now serves the Greeks. A great number of his men were taken prisoners, who were put to death, to revenge the assassination of Bourbacki. The Hellas frigate, commanded by Miaulis, is at Negropont with a strong division, to hinder provi sions from reaching_ the camp of the Seraskier. The Government is taking the most energetic measures to drive the Turks from before Athens. Fabvier is still in the Acropolis. Missoloughi is closely bloc kaded by General Makri ; that place must soon sur render, being in want of provisions. Admiral Cochrane and General Church have not vet appeared in these parts. Commodore Hamilton is still at Egina, the seat of Government, while Ad miral de Rigny remains at Smyrna, and does not chew himself any more in our seas. The American crew of the Hellas has returned to America, on board a frigate of that nation. Miaulis is appointed High Admiral of the whole Greek Navy. Paulucci, who commanded the Aus trian squadron, is succeeded by Dandolo. Mavrocordato has been banished to Syria, by a decision of the Government. Dr. Baily continues to merit the esteem of the Greeks, by his humanity to the sick. He is now attending Colonel Raybaud, whose wounds are beginning to heal. The new Assembly is to meet at Castri. It is generally believed, that the seamen will make Con duriotti 'President of the Government; but the army would prefer Count Viario de Capo d'lstria, brother to the Ex-Russian Minister. THE ENGLISH MINISTRY. (From the Journal des _Debuts.) PARIS, APRIL 11.—We have never ceased to be lieve in the triumph of Mr. Canning. Our predic tions are - completely fulfilled. The E ng li s h Jour nals of the 12th, which have reached us by express, announce that Mr. Canning is nominated Prime Mi nister and First Lord - of the Treasury, offices which are ordinarily united. The Journal des Debau here quotes from the English Papers the names of the Ministers who had resigned, and other particulars respecting the late changes. In translating Mr. Tierney's remark, " Seven members of the Cabinet have run away," the French Editor says, " Sept membrcs du Cabinet se sont sauces." The next version will probably be "Se sont perdus." The Journal afterwards goes on to say— The retirement of Mr. Peel is that which has most surprised us in the revolution which has just taken place in the English Cabinet. We never Le lieved in the existence of a serious rivaiship be tween Mr. Peel and Mr. Canning, and an article which we have quoted above foul an English Jour nal, proves that the general opinion of England did not recognise, as we have repeatedly stated, any difference between those two Ministers, except on the question of Catholic Emancipation. Perhaps Mr. Peel, out of delicacy, thought hiviself obliged to follow on this occasion the fortunes of his ancient patron Lord Elden. The next arrivals, in inform ing us, without doubt, of the choice of the succes sors of the Ministers who have resigned, will fix our judgment in respect to the causes of their retreat. But we affirm, ,Iready, that in France, as in Eng land, every wise man will concur in rejoicing at the elevation of Mr. Canning; it is the triumph of ra tional ideas throughout Europe. (From the Constitutionnel.) The highly important question of the English Ministry is at length decided; the question was a complicated one ; it was to be determined whether the English Ministry should he Anti-Catholic or Impartial. Lord Wellington and Mr. Peel felt they could no longer support the burden of an Anti- National Administration, and they yielded place to Mr. Canning. This is an example by which our Ministers would do well to profit. If our congre gationists had any modesty, they would rejoice to see Mr. Canning, the advocate for the Emancipa tion of the Irish Catholics, at the helm of affairs ; but then Mr. Canning protects the constitutional liberties of the Portuguese—that is the crime which our religiosi cannot pardon. (From the Quotidienne.) Great joy to the camp of the Liberals.; great joy to the office of the Etoile, and the Cabinet of M. de Villele ! Mr. Canning is nominated Prime Mini ster ! The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Welling ton, Earl Bathurst, Mr. Peel, the Earl of Westmor land, Lord Bexley, and Lord Lowther, that is to say, the whole of the men who yet preserve any sound ideas of order, and aristocracy, have given in their resignation! Mr. Canning has been called on to form a new Ministry; it is thought that. he will call Lord Granville, Ambassador at Paris, his most intimate creature, and that he will give to Mr. Huskisson, the re presented ve,par excellence, of the radical party of Eng land,a more elevated position. At all events, tberetreat of some of Mr. Canning's colleagues, is a very remark able fact, and one which marks the spirit in which the new Ministry will he formed. How far does Great Britain mean to go in thus placing at the head of her affairs a Minister who has made an appeal to re volution, and who has insulted all. the Crowns in Europe ? It is of no use to tell us that Mr. Can ning is not himself a Radical, that his opinions are not revolutionary. Under his present circumstances, Mr. Canning is not merely a man, he is in himself a system—he enters upon office as the man of a party. It is Radicalism that bears him on—Radicalism will sway him. There can be no doubt of that. Wit ness the joy of the English newspapers devoted to that way of thinking. Can Mr. Canning go on for any length of time ? This is what the first discus sions will show us. The retreat of the whole of the ' Statesmen who composed the Cabinet will multiply his difficulties. We have not forgotten that already the opinion of Mr. Peel has triumphed in one grave question, even in the Commons ; a fortiori, what will it do in the Lords ? The opposition there is likely to be so powerful, that we doubt if Mr. Can ning will be able to obtain a vote on one important question, such, for example, as the Corn Laws. W may be allowed to remark on the disinterestedness, we are bold to say the patriotism, of the seven English Ministers who have given in their resigna tions. In England Statesmen comprehend theforms of Government, and do not look on their offices as a property which they are enjoying. This last cir cumstance ought singularly to diminish the joy of the Etoile on the nomination of Mr. Canning; for the seven Ministers who are gone, what an example do they give—what an augury ! (From the Journal des Debuts.) PAIs The Gazette de Florence states, R but'AwPitßlif' without guaranteeing the authenticity of the intelligence, that Lord Cochrane has arrived in the seas of the Morea, and that Athens is free. The coma - lotions in Catalonia have assumed a serious aspect. Doubts can no longer be enter tained of a vast conspiracy in favour of Charles V., having been organised there, and, although the In surgents have already been repulsed on two or three points, every thing leads to the belief, that they are far from having renounced their projects. The Journals of the South, we have received, concur in stating, that if tranquillity do not very speedily he re-established in that Province, so favourable as is well-known to partial insurrections, our troops will have the greatest need of reinforcement. The fol lowing is an extract from the Thoulouse Journals of the 10th of April : BARCELONA, APRIL s.—The flames of insurrec tion appear to be blazing throughout the whole province. From every quarter, advices on this oc casion are arriving from the local authorities, civil, military, and judicial. Sedition was reigning, first in the environs of Tortola; it has burst out in the corregimiento3 of Gerona and Figueras. Those of Vich and INlaureza have also vielded to the same in fluence, which looks as if it would extend its empire to the camp of Tarragona also. The correginiiento of Lerida, the Conques, the district of Urgel, the Cerdagna, have not yet been smitten with the con tagion, but there is much too good reason for fear in these two last named districts. The objects of the revolters are not known ; meanwhile, by their acclamations, they insult whatever Monarchical Governments hold most sacred or most dear.-- Proclamations are talked of, and flags with dreadful emblems. Such are t;.; - ! public rumours, and terror reigns every where. Tne wealthy, either influenced or compromised by past events, are quitting their homes, and seeking refuge in walled towns. We shall have need of a reinforcement if tranquillity be not very soon restored throughout the province. The tranquillity of the city of Barcelona has not been disturbed. Some arrests have, however, taken place. It is asserted that a Mayor of one of the principal towns of Upper Catalonia, and one of his coadjutors, who wished to indulge in some hostile demonstrations against the partisans, have been as sassinated. The governor of Gerona, having .?tit some infantry gens d'armes (niosos) to a commune to arrest-an individual, the tocsin of a number of neighbouring villages was sounded, and they were forced to retire. FRONTIERS oR CATALONIA, APRIL 6.—A gene ral movement was about to take place in a part of Catalonia ; its execution was even begun. Public opinion had been generally manifested against the leaders, who abuse the name of the heir-presump tive of the Crown of Spain. It appears that every town of Lampourdan was to furnish a certain num ber of men, who were to form a junction with the detachments that came down from the highlands.— At Rippol the Royalist volunteers conducted them selves well. They opposed the movement of the people, but as they were the minority they were disarmed. The assemblage of armed men which set out from Rippol arrived too late before Cardona, so that this new species of insurgents, which had come from another quarter, not being sufficiently strong, missed their aim at this place, which being fortified, would have been an important rallying point for them. They were vigorously driven back by a great number of the inhabitants and royalist volunteers.— This check re-established tranquillity at Manreza and Solzona. There can be no doubt that this rising had extensive ramifications throughout Spain. Many of these assemblages, which may at present be regarded as mostly put down, have levied con tributions on the villages. PREFECTURE OF POLICE. PARIS, APRIL 13, 1827.—We, the Councillor of State, Prefect of Police, order as follows :—The articles, of which the tenor is as follows, of the De cree of 23d Prairial, year 12, of the Prefect of La Seine, 27 Germinal, year 11, will be anew publish ed, end posted throughout Paris.

NEW CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. (From the Freeman's Journal of Monday. ) SXTI.7I4.DAY, APRIL. 14. The important news which had arrived by the packet of the day attracted a very full meeting. CHRISTOPHER FITZSIMON, Esq., was called to the Chair. Mr. Sun air was requested to act as Secretary. Several letters having been read connected with the busi ness of the Association, Mr. CON WA r said he was going to request the attention of the Catholic Association to a manifesto of Lord Lorton, which his Lordship caused to be widely ciroulated among his tenantry. Ile the more readily called their attention to this subject, because there were some gentlemen in that room, and he begged it to be understood that he did not allude to the Government Reporter, who had sent an incor rect statement to the Courier of the observations he had made on last Saturday. The gentleman who communicated to the Courier, stated, that he (Mr. Conway) wished to have a prosecution instituted against the Courier. Now he distinctly disclaimed any intention of prosecuting the newspaper; what he said was, that the libeller should be punished and not the Co :rier. As the statement in the Courier appeared before they could have had it from the Dublin Papers, it must have been furnished by their own reporter ; and he (Mr. Conway) wished that person would confine himself to facts in future. Mr. Conway then pro ceeded to read the manifesto of Lord Lorton, which has al ready appeared in the newspapers, and to comment on it. Mr. OCosrxr.m. said, it would be a base shrinking from a public duty were he to allow the present meeting to pass away without throwing out his mind on the present posture of public affairs; but, in doing this, he did not mean to wound the feelings of any man ; he would say nothing that could be calculated to give offence to their opponents: he wanted no triumph ; he meant not to exult, though there might be cause for exultation anti joy. He confessed his heart was light ; he rejoiced that the reign of Eldon was over, if it only were for a week ; long h a d h e sa t, lik e an incubus, presiding with his evil genius over the destinies of the country, impairing the strength of the empire, and wasting its resources, while he was unable to resolve his own doubts. Mr. O'Connell then continued to m ake strong and pointed animadversions on Lord Eldon, in his legal cap-.city of Chancellor. In Parliament, continued the Learned Gentleman, he has stamped the clumsy foot of :.is legal brutality on the liberties of Ireland ; but thank heaven, his reign was or, would er, and he trusted they hear no more of Lord Chancellor Eldon. His feeling, however, was not the sante at learning that Mr. Peel had ceased to b e a ; minister ; there was much about Mr. Peel b. that was extremely useful, if he had not been hhblinded illiberal principles, and an unwarrantable ambitio n that made him stoop and bend himself to men inferior to him in talents , and whose superior he ought t o h ave b een . Sprung him se lf f rom th e working classes, Mr. Peel had none of that aristocratic feeling which held the people to be nothing;—he had a J ust sense of po pular rights , and industry, to exert him se lf f or t h e People's good. What Sir Samue l Romi lly had not been able to effect in a long life of labour, Dlr. Peel had in a great measure succeeded in, and if he had not been able tho roughly to cleans e the Augean stable of the law, it was only because the filth had been for so many ages accumu lating. But, holding the opinions which Mr. Peel did, lie (Mr. O'Connell) could not regret that lie had ceased to be a Cabinet Minister. When he looked to Ireland the prospect was cheering, and never before was Ireland in a state that required so m uch that something should be done for her. The present state of the country was frightful— was appalling—famine and disease raged from one extre mity of it to another ; those, who before were only half clothed, were now totally naked ; those, who before were famishing, were now in a state of actual starvation, and their fields would be one continued charnel-house, if some. thing was not speedily done to rescue the people from fa mine. What was the state of religion? in the name of religion, the torch of discord was flung abroad ; rancour and bigotry destroyed the social intercourse of life, and in the name of the Almighty God people were desired to hate each other. Even in his own profession bigotry was made the hand-rope by which the members of it hoped to climb to preferment ; but he hoped these vultures of his profes sion would be disappointed; it would be delightful to go into the Hall of the four Courts, and to witness their dis may ; it would he delightful to hear a man, who had de based himself by bigotry, because he was tired of a silk gown, and wanted to he a Judge, exclaim, " Oh ! that I had been honest three weeks longer !" Oh ! that this change may continue, said Mr. O'Connell. Oh ! that Canning may succeed in forming a virtuous administration ! How would every honest Irishman conduct himself then? In a perfect oblivion of the past, and an anxious desire to conciliate for the future.—(Mr. O'Connell sat down amidst loud cheering.) While Mr. O'Connell was speaking, Mr. Shiel entered the room, and was received with the most enthusiastic cheering. When the former gentlemen had concluded, Mr. Shiel was loudly called for from all parts of the room. Mr. Suite rose and said—The dissolution of the Ali nistrv, announced within these few hours, has restored us to that better state of mind, both moral and political, which the prospect of more happy fortunes is calculated to pro duce. Nothing is so pernicious to the public mind—no thing generates so many bad passions as the sour and acri • monious sentiment which arises from sadden and exaspe rating disappointment. I am convinced that the far greater portion of angry feeling which prevails through Ireland has its origin in the violence of triumph pro diced in the Anti-Catholic fiction by the overthrow which we have sustained, and the galling conscious nsss of humiliation which of necessity arises from the repeated frustration of the people's hopes. Hitherto we were, perhaps, mistaken in indulging in anything like strong expectation that something would be done for the country, lint at length not only a brilliant, but in all lihood a permanent prospect of amelioration has opened upon us. The glimpses which we had hitherto gotten, were caught through clouds that closed again upon us ; but at last the political horizon has begun to clear, and al though the gloomy mass that shut out all prospects of pros perity has not as yet been wholly dispersed, yet it has been in a great measure broken up, and given us an in sight into a brighter futurity for Ireland than we could have reasonably anticipated. The Ministry has been dis solved. The Cabinet, which not only governed, but re presented Ireland, by affording a faithful image of our own dissensions, has been sundered. The strange piece of incoherence, so singularly jumbled together, called a Mi nistry, has fallen into fragments, and there is so chance of their being joined or soldered again together. There is no principle of cohesion by which they can be united. There is an end, thank God ! to the a dministration. Into what new forms its members will resolve themselves, it is not v e ry easy to conjecture; but it is reasonable to suppose, that as the sympathy of feeling and of character existing between the Anti-Irish party will cement them together, and that like the fragments of an imperfectly broken reptile, they will close again, so the fine intellectual attributes, the ample and philosophical comprehension, and the generous and exalted tendencies of Mr. Canning will attract to him the crowd of men who coincide with him in opinion and in sentiment, and between whom and himself there exists so noble a congeniality.—(Loud c heers.)— , How magnificent a task is assigned to this celebrated per son, if he have, (as I do believe he has) the great moral qualities necessary for its accomplishment. It will devolve on him to do what Pitt and Fox could not achieve—to liberate the Irish people ; and by conferring tranquillity upon Ireland and stability upon the empire, to stamp his name with a sacred immortality. He had already done much for the acquisition of a lasting renown. If he has not created the freedom of South America, he has at least protected its infancy, and matured it into strength, perma nence, and vigour. His name will be inscribed in the title page of the history of the New Werld.—(Loud cheers.) I trust that he will not abuse the splendid opportunity that is afforded him of doing incalculable good. He has but two paths to follow—one leads to glory and to greatness, and the other to utter igm :ny and degradation. There is no third or middle course to he pursued. He must either emancipate us, and build an everlasting reputation on the basis of national happiness, or by basely tampering for office, blast all our hopes, and while he consigns Ireland to wretchedness, consign himself to shame. He will not, I am sure he will not do 20.--.(1..011(1 cheers.) — The very antagonises of Emancipation admit, nay insist, that things cannot continue in the same condition. But when they are asked, " what is to he done" to cure the evils whose existence they do not controvert, many of them are struck dumb, and remain gaping at each other, and others candidly acknowledge that they are unable to device a remedy. To the latter class Mr. Peel seems to belong, for when Mr, Portman, not long ago, enquired of him, what measure he would substitute ft,: Emancipation, he honestly stated that he knew of none. Ile rejects Emancipation like a quack medicine, but leaves Ireland to die. He gives her over, and will not even go through the form of writing a prescription. Others are willing enough to prescribe, but they all differ as to the mode of cure, and remind one of the Doctors in Ilogarth's picture, who have each other by the throat, while the patient is at the last gasp. One prescribes the Bible, another recommends the Insurrection Act, a third enforces the practicability of converting s i x millions of idolators, at the rate of six vagabonds a week. It is not only in Parliament, but among m en i n office out of Parliament, holding indeed inferior situations, but still persons of respectability and influence, that we hear these various specifics suggested for our political amelioration. A Learned Sergeant at Law, who is just hot from Cie Assises of Tipperary, which I also attended, illustrates the fable. After detailing to a Clonniel jury the frightful con dition of the country, he concluded by stating that a vigorous administration of the law would be found an effi cient cure of the public evils by which they were afflicted. So that, according to the Learned Sergeant, the only means of serving Ireland is to thrust the sword of justice down her throat.—(Cheers.)—'There's nothing like it, in the Sergeant's estimate. I am not surprised that gentle men of my profession should be fond of this instrument, es pecially when (if I may venture upon a conceit which still serves to convey my meaning) the sword of justice te a h n e y ad c e e d n lv i i i t re h a u g p o o l n den m h r i . lt.

We have begun to look at its hideousness without horror, and from the per petual contemplation of atrocity, have almost ceased to shrink at its sight. Ido protest my belief, that in parts of this country, the life of man is held in scarcely more regard than that animal existence which gives motiou to the brute. Who then are the men who are guilty of these enormities? There are two classes of offenders. First, the wretches who actually dip their hands in the blood of their fellow-creatures ; and next, the men who have created that system from which so fatal and so prevalent a disposition to crime has arisen. Like Pilate, they may wash their hands of blood, but as they are indirectly concerned in its effusion, they bear its weight upon their heads—( Cheers. ) 1111% O'CONNELL said there ought to he a Meeting on Monday of the requisitionists, for calling the Aggregate Meeting, and they should meet every day before that time to prepare resolutions.—The Melting then adjourned.

The Gazette of last night contains the 43' pointment of his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE, to he High Admiral of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the Dominions, Islands, and Territories, there unto belonging. His Royal Highness transacted business for some time yesterday at the Admi ralty ; but he will not enter upon the high and arduous duties of his Office till the Ist of May The powers delegated by the SovEREwN to the Lord High Admiral are extraordinarily great and extensive. In him is solely vested the appointment of all Naval Oft cers. It is the exercise of this part of his privileges that the Public will watch with the most jealous eye ; and if the Duke of CLA RENCE, unconnected as he is with politics, should allow the claims of service to be the principal and sure road to promotion and employment , his Royal Highness may rest assured that the applause of the Nation and popularity with the service over which he presides, will most (Tr' tainly be his reward. We are unable to-day to announce positively any appointments to the vacant situations. Be port assigns the Chancellorship of Ireland to Mr. PLUNK ETT, and the Mastership of the Rolls to Mr. COURTENAY. The Right Hon. EDW. GOULBURN, Secre tary for Ireland, has resigned, as had previously Sir J. BECKET, the Judge-Advocate-G e neral, and the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, Chairman of the Committees of the House of Lords. The report is unfounded that the office of Commander-in-Chief has been offered to Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE. Coming events sometimes cast their sha dows before," but more frequently omens hAve no connection at all with the circumstances which they are supposed to foretel, and the flight of birds, the appearances of dying animals, or the upsetting of a salt-cellar, may fill the minds or the credulous with anxiety or delight, and e ven perplex " Monarchs with the fear of change: Thus it is with respect to the report circulated this morning, that Lord ELDON has ordered two double-barrelled fowling-pieces to be finished without loss time, by a gun-smith whom his Lordship's custom has set up in the wo rld. Upon this slight foundation it is assumed that his Lordship has resigned all hopes o f re turning to the discharge of those important functions which he has so unaccountably, but for the country so fortunately, relinqui s h e d, an d has resolved to crown " a youth of labour with an amidst stubbl e l an d s, turn i p fi e lds according as th e c h ange o f the agesoear seasons np f ease,"e apoint them ou t, as b e i ng most o y ' likely to harb our t h ose f eat h ere d tr ib es i n the pursuit and destruction of which his Lord ship is known to take peculiar, delight. Now , for our own parts, we are satisfied that Lord ELDON still deludes himself with the ides., that the count r y canno t go on f or any l eng th o f time without the assistance and direction of those enlightened characters who have acted with him and that it would be an easier task to undeceive the wretched malefactor who in the face of pro bability clings to the vain hope of life, than it would be to convince these exalted person/, that every hour diminishes th e i r c h ance 0' returning to office,--and that every act o f bullying which they practise, by forcing their underlings to make common cause with t)litencienis of tra p ti a o t t r i o , ne must rejoicewhich their at each them, only reco il s on their own heads, an d strengthens th e h an d s of him, who, in fbrining3 new A en shies hi m to employ, in substituting staunch an ti tried f r i en d s i n the place of susp i c i ous and doubt ful a dh erents. follyehaddi tional i But there is another reason which makes the rumour extremely improbable, and that 1 ' the known prudence of the Learned Lord , which cannot be supposed to have utterly do' serted him in a moment. Is it probable, w e would ask, that Lord ELDox, having resigned so large an income, should immediately increase his expenditure, and at so late a period com mence the career of a prodigal ? But there is no doubt upon the subject. The rumour, yre are certain, is without the least foundation, and we think it highly probable, that it has originated not in his Lordship's having ordered two De l fowling-pieces, but in his having - offered for sal e two old ones, coeval with himself, and with the proceeds of which he can purchase what may b e strictly termed the necessaries of life. a mistake, on h o a n pp a y to be i o n f f . o l rm aw e , d in P yesterday.
