(From the cork Examiner.) The grand banquet to O'Connell took place at Cork on Monday evening. It was - a most splendid affair, the preperatians having been 'made on the most extensive seate. -fir-say-that-the banquet-hall presented a bril liant and imposing spectacle, would be far short of the magnificent coup d'ail that bust upon the astonished vision of= the . 800 gentlemen who assneeled within its walls. All that east extent of space could produce, or that elaliorate and elegant decoration . could effect, was .done iu order to render this demonstration menierable in the winds-of those who participated in its festivity. A .splendid canopy of.'rich crimson damask stretched the whole length of the upper end of the vast saloon, en tirely arching over the table at which. sat the Chairman, the guests of the evening, and the principal members of the Corporation ; together with the . city; county, nod pro vincial members: Oyer the canopy, which was orna mented with ,gilt cornices, &e., and put up by Mr. D. W. Galligen, -was placed a crown,• with the letters " V. R." in resplendent gas, which shed a flood of light upon the arms of the diffarent eprporations present. litifnedietely under the canopy, and above the chair, were the words " Justice - to !rebind," emblazoned to letters of burnished gold. Thy' tables were covered with the mesa. costly ornaments, end furnished with every delicacy that care or expen , e could supply. The ceiling was d. corated by three medalions, ercentre pieces, from which large chandeliers depended. One, nearest to the chair; contained a repr'-sentatiun of the old Irish crown and harp ; the othr the Royal arms of Britain, and the third those of the Prince of Wales. We must notice two interesting figures e interesting not only from the ability with which they were exeCuted— but from the sentiment they were - ma ant to convey. At either end of the crimson canopy was placed one ..f these figures, the one representing Erin stretching forth the hand of peace to her haughty sister, England, who was repre sented by the other .figure. The pillars supporting the galleries were wreathed with bright evergreens. that ime part, d a fresh .and pleasant area. The galleries were filled to their utmost limit by more than three hundred ladies, dressed with fashionable elegance, and all near ing their brightest smiles for "the hour and the man." W. Smith O'Brien, 1- sq., M.P., took the chair. Near the Chairman we noticed John O'Connell, Esq., (arena ; Mr. Caleb Powel, NI.P., Limerick ; Sir David Roche, M.P. ; Dan. Callaghan, M.P. ; John O'Connell, M.P. ; Maurice O'Connell, M.P. ; Nicholes . Maher, M.P. ; E. B.

Pa Midleton ;Doctors ald win and Bourke, P.P.'s, Clenmel ; Wiilliam Galway, Esq., Fort - Arthur ; the Rev. Dr. Murphy, Cork ; J. Galwey, Cork ; T. Healey ; Michael M'Swiney, Cork ; and, of course, an immense,number of persons. The Corporations of Limerick, of Waterford, of Clon inel, of Kilkenny, of Cashel, And of Cork, were appro 7 priately represented.. ; When the cloth had been removed, the Rev. William O'Sullivan read. letters from the Archbishop of Tuam, from-Drs. Slattery, Crotty, O'Higgins, and Kennedy, ac counting for their unwilling ahsenee. The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the first toast. .He called on them to fill a bumper. in .Commencing the pro ceedings on that interesting occasion, -by dainking the " Health of the Sovereign." He saw before him a mag • nificent array of names, whose patriotism was unbounded as their loyalty was Unquestionable.—(Hear, hear.) The Irish people had ever -shown a disposition to uphold the principle of menarche. . Whatever antipathy they might hold-ageing a British Parliainentethere a as none against the British Qtteen.—;,(Loud cheers.) . lie need searce:y allude, then, to. Norsvey .Hungaey, nor to. the e ell knoWn " Moriumur pro rege uos - tro Maria Theresa." If such he our loyalty Pow, Comintied the eloquent Chair man,. what will it he When we are able to associate with our cause the reene of our. %en- rated and beloied Suve, reign?---=(Che:Ta) That her reign tnie ht be ever memo- . rebles for her atteatem to Ireland, to Irish right, and Irish prosperity, was his devout aitil nieiet sincere prayer.. —(Loud . The toast • was --dritrilt. with the ut most enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN then gave ": The People." - - "The Prince of Wale-, Prince Albert, and the last of the loyal Family resident hi England," were duly lee:mitred. The CHAIRMAN said that , the next toast he held to 'give was " The Land of our Birth fuel of our Aff-ctions." The Cnintstart-1 shall not delay you longer—your impatience must be relisv, d. I have now to propose to you the health of the veteran .patriot who sits by my side.-(The company here ruse en masse, and gave re: prated cheers.) Gentlemen, here is a grt at moral ex ample. Hitherto, mankind had been too much in the habit of awarding their admiration and applause to those who had distinguished themselves not . by augmenting the happiness of mankind, .but by extending throughout the world carnage and slaughter, and the name of great has been given to those who have sacrificed the greatest number of: human -beings, .But we, Gentlemen, are assembled here to-night to set to mankind an example in awarding our admiration and homage to the man whose whole life has been spent in endeavouring to secure by peaceful means alone the happiness of his countrymen 'and of his 'species--a nobler description of greatness surely than that which-can be claimed by any. of those, or which history has given to them on the grounds which I have mentioned.--el - lear,) To the Irish nation Mr. O'Connell is endeared. not only by his connection with these topics, but especially When we'consider his eontin nous unceasing efforts to redeem his country from pro- vincial degradation—when we see him entering life as a. combatant against the union, resisting with all his youth-' ful energy, in all the eloquence of youthful vigour, that measure.. Again, in 1810, we find him taking advantage of the first opportunity that presented- itself for recalling. to kis countrymen a senee of the wrongs they had sus tained —(Hear, hear) —and in 1830, when he began to feel that - the Einancipation Act was, as regards the great mass of the people, a dead letter, he hoisted the standard of repeal; nor was that standard laid aside for a moment until he had a reasonable expectation that. from the justice of England this country might hope for peaceful legislatione--(Hear, hear.) He gave to that experiment ample time, he exhausted the patience of his countrymen, and at length, in 1839, after having for fiveliars relied, on the reasonableness of the claims advanced, and on the justice of the English people, and found that that on which he relied was based onno solid foundation , he then indeed rehoiated thistandard of repeal—(Cheers) , --and was be not: justified in that course ? Some doubted at the time that Mr.' O'Connell was justified, and for a con siderable time there was apathy in the public mind. But Mr. O'Connell has been justified by events. But when it was . found that the _ same policy was adopted which was pursued by Conservatives out of office, and that. this country was to receive•nothing.but insult and disgrace from England, then - indeed the Irish nation arose in all her might, and, by the spontaneous action of the whole nation, hundreds of thousands met in the dif ferent.parts of Ireland—they invited Mr: O'Connell as their organ to attend ; he did attend, and he spoke in vehement and.. indienant language.—(Cheers.) It is_ possible that in using it he may have brought himself within the operation of some bad law, derived from pre= ccdents iureishel in the history of the . wor.a, theca e -, (Hear, hear.) But how did they seek to-make Mr O'Connell responsible—by holding him responsible for the acts-of the Asociation with .which he a as connected,: and for the reports in - newspapers, cirouleting the ec-- counts sf what passed in that A sseeie tiOn. He was to be inaile xesponstbie for every artiele which appeared in those papers, and that 'w*:s. English justice.---(Groans,) The pro tutors, however, O.:tallied - a verdict, and now let me ask' hem what they !laic gained ?—(Hear, hear, from Mr. O'Connell.) Have they suppressed the move ment in favour of a repeal of the union ?--(Loud cries of " No, no," from various parts ef the room.) Your voice answers that question. and it will be re echoed by millions.—(Cheers.) If any man were doubtful or hesi tating, the prosecution had brought that man forward.—; (Hear.) Let me ask whether they accomplished one of the objects they had in view—of diminishing Mr. O'Cen nell's popular influence ?—(Cries-of " No, no.") Will the power of his mind be less when his body is confined in a dungeon?—(No, ne.) . I, upon this occasion, as a friend to English connexion, declare that I feel it a solemn imperative duty, which I could not reconcile it to my conscience not to - perform, to tell the British Go vernment that it is my firm conviction that if O'Connell be imprisoned, as I presume he will be in the course of next week, that I do not believe that in this country one single arm will be uplifted.—(" Hear," from Mr. O'Connell.) Butl am bound at the same time to tell them that tbere'has been no act—l will not say since the union, but for centuries—which could so greatly alienate us from English connexion—no one act, and I speak it . not in, the, way of.menitee, but in the spirit of a friendly :warning, believe will tend so effectually• to theeeltireateeeparation of the two countries. -e-(Hear, and cheers.) But, Gentlemen, be this' as it may, our duty is 'elear--we are here to record our protest against the whole of these proceedings--totender to our illustrious . guest 'our unbought sympathy, and. to assure him, not. only in our own names, but in the name of the Irish nation, that within the walls of his prison he .possesses more than ever he possessed the affection of the Irish people.—.(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have now to ask you to drink,- and I need not solicit your enthusiasm,. the health of him whom his country salutes' as its' father ; and itfinoral ruler.—(Cheers.) I give you health and long-life to Mr. O'Connell.---(Great cheering, the com pany rising and not resuming their places till the' toast was responded to in the most „cordial and enthusiastic manner:) Mr. O'CoNstrLierose, and a scene followed such as we have never before Witnessed—the. entire company 'miter ing forth vollies of' the most deafening and enthusiastic cheers, while the ladies waved their scarfs from the gal leries. Again and again was the .applause renewed, every burst being more vigorous and prolonged than that which preceded it, and we are positive that ten minutes elapsed before the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was allowed to proceed.: By a most ingenious picee of mechanism, a golden figure of a winged messenger of heaven was let down from the ceiling, immediately over the chair. In its hands it bore a silken flag, upon which, in letters of gold, was inscribed the .scroll--" Ireland expects that ,ed was s genet to speak e d. Order as Orfdoeir. eve ry man do his duty?' A s this emphatic w arn i ng was e thibited to view, the cheering,e lows b eingaile h n i g s t i h s, r o e b st.oirteic h beautiful scene ; it is a scenee pr) unequalled in Ifelandoh, it- is not exceeded in 'any Country.; yes, it is a beautiful seßne.—(l - le'ar, hear, and cheers.) It is not -alone-the transcendent leveliness that smiles on us tbat.reteleis it beautiful; norleSs is it even the periaat accuracy' and regularity '.f the arreegem e et s; Lbutites a beautiful scene to have so .many of that 4.-lass perions . of intelligence of mind and inlepenclem.'e person aesambled at the mere call of petriotisin to bear once again. in my bumble presence, the testiniony of I their undying love for Ireland..—(lieu:, and ioud cheers.) To be sure, no man ever received such a cotnplitaent —(Cheers.) No man who ever stood upon the threshold of a prison received such a compliment.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) No-man who ever stood on the steps of a throne was honoured as I have been honoured, though on the threshold of a prison ; but I would not change that prison, with the compliment, for the throne of any monarch in the universal world.—(Hear, hear, and hind cheers.) Let our rulers know that there never before was such an assemblage in Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Who would have thought formerly that Kilkenny would have marched to Cork—that the Mayor of Kilkenny would shake hands with the Meyor of Clonmel, and the Mayor of Limerick join both sites festival before the Mayor. of Cork ?—(Laughter, and cheers.) Well, miracles will never cease--(Laughter)—and that this moral miracle should be wroueht on behalf of a convicted conspirator. se more miraculous than all.--,(Laughter.) I would wish to ask you, and there -are enough of you hereto answer my question, What crime have I committed ?—(Loud cries of " None.") I declare-to Heaven Ido not know. I he , lieve Chief -Justice Pennefather does no know, nor am I aware that the sagacious jury knew whaterime they cen vieted me on. I repeat lam not aware of the crime, but I am sure of this, that if it was to be eemtnitted over again, I stn the boy for it.—(Great cheerine.) I have ilone nothing of which I am -ashemed before man, or tremble fir before my God..—(H- ar, hear, and cheers.)' I hope I am not presumptuous, when I say - the latter. — (Loud cries of No, no.") I would not have done anything that my conscience told me was wrong. Bat I was doing wrong—(No, no)—for, as the Poet very beautifully said— • " Alas for his country! her pride has gone by, And that spirit is broken that never e ould bend." And the following lines are most apposite:— " O'er the ruin her children in secret must sigh For 'tis treason to love her, and death to defend." And here am I, an arch conspirator, for I do love my country ; and. I consent, emphatically to die in her de fence.—(Loud cheers.) " Unprised are her sons till they learn to betray, Undistinguised they live if they shame not their. sires, And the torch that would light them to victory's way, Must be caught from the pile where the country expires." It is in these lines, not in a law book 7 —in these lines, and not on matters of fact—that my indictment is to be ft tund. —(Hear, hear, and cheers.) The Attorney-General and his confreres ran out the indictment to thirty-six yards—(Loud groans.) What have I done- that you should groan me?—(Laughter and cheering.) If you had permitted me, I would have told you that the At torney-General spun out thirty-six yards of parchment under the indictment which is contained in these few rhymes that I have spoken.—(Hear, hear.) I have loved and struggled for Ireland ; I love her still, and will struggle for her independence while my heart • beats in my bosom.--- , (Loud cheering.) But the objects of the prosecution are manifesto; for is there one of you who doubts that its object was to put an end to the agi tation for repeal—(Hear, hear)—to resist the-demand of Ireland for a self-goVernment ? It is not the idle vanity of this compliment that. hrought me here ; it is not even to gratify a more plea-arable sensation or my mind in meeting the respect and affection of persons, the kindness of any one of whom :would be a greatgratification to me— it is not that that hi - ought me here this night--it is another, a higher, and I hope I will be .pardoned for saving, a nobler motive, that induced me to come here.—(Cheers.) lam advanced in life—the prison maeterminate my existence.--(Sensation, and cries of "God forbid.") I am not shrinking from the dungeon.—(Cheers.) I do not speak in a. shining or pitiful manner ; 6ut I do trust that my last moments will be enlivened by the reflection that I should have lived longer had I not loved Ireland so intensely.—(Loud cheers.) I came here from another - motive. I came here for the purpose of proclaiming from this spot to the entire province of Munster, north and south, east and west; the duty you have to perform to. your country.-,(Hear, hear, and cheer's.) lam here to read you a lecture, not to thank you.—(Cheers.) I came here for the purpose or instructing you, not to - gratify, any feeling of .vanity, or to express to you how much I thank you, and am indebted to you.—(Loud cheers.) . In order that every man should understand my advice, it will be necteoary for him to reflect, and understand the position of the country, as also the psi rion*in which he is placed.—(Hear, hear.) It would he an idle thing for any man to suppose that I atn nut to go to prison. —(Cries of" No, no.") Yes, For as sure as I see you here, I shall have to go there.—(Renewed cries of " No," and clieera.) Wha Folly j'ou talk! sure you have not the key of the gaol door to lock it against me. —(Laughter and eheere.) I say I shall go to prison ; I do rot say I will go, because it.witl be against. my will, but I do :Ay that I shall go, for I will .he commanded there. How can any man suppose that I am not to go ther.,? There are three ways of avoiding the prison— the first is by making submission to our enemies, a course w hich you would not recommend.— (Loud. .cheering.) I thought we would agree on that point.-,(Laughter.) The second way is by the result of the writ of error ; but I confess I know an much isfjudges that my own conviction, as an old lawyer, is that we have n e clearest possible case for setting „ aside the judgment.—(Hear, and cheers.) The third way would be by the Government abandoning the pro-. secution, and hOlding us under. a recognizance to come up for judgment at an indefinite period.—(Hear, hear.) But they will not do that ; the.man knows nothing of human nature who supposes. our neer& Would sot so.— (Hear; hear, and loud cheers) They will not do so for they could not afford- to do so, for this reason, that they have nut the manliness, as such might be construed into , the fact. thatbeing convinced of their error they..wished to retract from it, and to admit the assertion of Lord John Ressell.—(HeaT e hear,) No man who knows any thing of the divinior of Stanley could imagine he would : relax in his attack-on Ireland and me, and I say it with out bigotry, on . every Roman Catholic in Ireland.— (Groans.) Sir James Graham knows that I placed him in a very awkward predicament, and he was ready to fight me who would not fight, but . would not fight O'Gorman Mahon, who would fights—(Hearand cheers.) I beat Peel so hollow wheal extracted from him emane cipation, pardon me for saying 1, for you helped .me • but we extracted from him Catholic emancipation, which he will never forget, As . for. the Duke of Wellington— (Hissing and groaning).—poor old man ! they cannot bear him even at the Horse Guards, where everything is con ducted in so arbitrary .a manner—any person who could think that such a- Ministry - will relax does not possess the amount of common sense which I would be inclined to give him credit for.—(Hear.) Take it for granted, the sentence will be carried into execution.: Take this also with you, they may imprison me, but they will not vex me—they may confine my person, and they will do so ; but they will not deprive me of a single pleasurable sensation.—(Cheers.) If I have not the enjoyment and exercise of my native mountains, though I shall not be cheered by the merry sound of my beagles, I will dream a day dream of them, and will turn my mind to pursuits that will be sure to yield delight .and instruction.— (Hear and cheers.) There is no horror in confinement that a man working for forty years cannot have in con templation ; and my astonishment is that they did not. me. —tuhantdetrhetyhedsied circumstances (Hear.) The first duty of every p atriot is to proclaim ci w alo h np a fir t ins l iol n w lll an me t to do is, to announce to you you r dut y .— es erywhere the absolute necessity of perfect peace and tranquillity.—(Hear.) You could.not gratify our enemies more than by giving them to hear of a disturbance in any part of Ireland—peace and tranquillity are the means by which yeu will confound and confuse them.—(Hear.) They have ready 30,000 men; they have their " Fox and geese" batteries—(Laughter)—they are ready and many.of them would be glad to hear that the people ex posed themselves to danger.—(Hear, hear.) Again, if the least disturbance took place. all the sympathy evinced by our friends in England would terminate. All good men of our own party would forsake us, and you, Sir (turning to the Chairman), could not remain with us, nor is there one of our many friends that .would not abandon its despair the cause, if there was an outbreak On my account. I. have but one earnest prayer to put up; and I eall on my countrymen, if they value my ser vices, if they entertain lirme a real affection—not a lip affectien—(Hear, ht-ar)—if the affection which they have wrung into my heart be true, and of which I am so little deserving—(" No, no," and cheers) —I conjure them to show their affection for me by their dutiful sub mission to the law, and to allow me to work out their cause by the proper means.--(Hear, hear, cheers, and loud cries of "We will.") I- have another demand to make on the people ,of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) I have again to use the vanity of calling on the people of Ire land in my own name—(Cheers)—and in the names of the respected and patriotic gentlemen assembled here, to show their respect for me and .them by persevering and lioubling. their exertions in behalf of the repeal of the Act of Union.—(Hear, and cheers.) I will put it to you in this way—do you wish .to gratify your ene mies ?—(No no.) Why was the prosecution esta blished? ?--(No, am I to go to-prison? I want to have it known throughout Ireland that you pronounce every individual no man, who is not a Repealer.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Answer the State prosecution —an swer the selection of the jury—answer the dropping of the slips from the jury list—answer every part of the ease—answer my imprisonment—answer everYthing e by becoming more determined Repeaters.--(Hear and cheers.) Pronounce to every man my temporal, I was going to say, malediction.—(Hear, hear.) No descrip tion of man-is so base as the Irishman that pretends.. to the slightest political honesty, and who is not a Repealer. —(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) I trust that no friend of mine will keep company with. the man that is not a Repealer.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Ido not want you to separate from the Conservatives, who are a re spectable body and true to their party ; -I do not call on you to draw a line between yourselves and the Conser vatives, for the Conservatives are just and true to them selves ; but I want you to draw a line of demarcation between yourselves and the men who pretend to have a regard for Ireland, and who would have you believe they are not the tools of the Conservatives. I tell you they are Orangemen of the most fatal nature who do not answer the late -trials by the proclamation- of repeal principles.—(Hear, hear.) Let us be able to count ourselves; or rather .our enemies.—(Hear, hear.) The Roman senate at one time determined on making . their slaves wear a peculiar sort of dress, so as to have them distinguishable from the free men; but one senator, more sagacious than the rest, said, " Do not dress them, for they will then be able to count themselves and us also." (Hear, hear.) I say now, do not be ashamed to .wear some token—call it a "prosecution button."—(Hear and cheers.) Let there be a mark—let every- man be capa ble of being counted—elet there be some public symbol worn voluntarily, not by associated means, for that would come e ithin an indictment, and then- the world will know who are fir and against repeal.—(Cheers.) I want to put Ireland to- the test—l want to know if her sons will declare for the Attorney-General and Brew et--r, or fOr .O'Connell and Smith.O'Brien.—(Tremen dome eiteeeine.)

I feel then that I would deserve more of Ireland; and that I would possess more power to rouse the country, and to have those ho are RePealers distiuguished froin all others.--(Cheers.) I have detained you a long time—(No, no, and increased cheering)—but I had a solemn duty to perform. They sometimes use my name as that of a political sect, and I have heard men called O'Connellites' " and it is only ou t o f gao l th a t I would like such ; but I can tell you that no man is an " O'Con nellite" that is not a Repealer —no man, in my opinion, can have a legitinsate excuse for not becoming a Re pealer if they carry the sentence into effect.—(Great cheering.) At the present moment, to crown all, they come with the most insulting measure that England has ever dared to promulgate. I think they have brought in that Bill at this moment for the purpose of taking ad vantage .of the absence of the men who would fight it line hysline, - and as I will not be able to keep my eye on it—l speak it not in vanity, but lam sure my friends will fight it for me.—(Hear.)

I am speaking to you as if a voice were issuing from the tomb of a gaol, but not in the mournful accents of danger.—(Loud cheers.) Irishmen s the time is come; preserve the peace—observe order—do not run a risk. I conjure, you, as you love Ireland, and hate the mal-administration of justice—as you esteem the Chief Baron, and dislike the chief Justice (Groans)—sin short, if you love Ireland—if you want to confer on me comfort when in my dungeon, you will rally for Old Ireland and Repeal. The Hon, and Learned Gentleman resumed his seat amid the most en thusiastic acclamation and waving of handkerchiefs, which were renewed, and continued for upwards of ten minutes, the entire company standing for the whole time, the ladies waving their scarves, and applauding most enthusiastically. ' Mr. O'CoNNELL—I am ping to propose a toast; and drink it as you please. Our Chairman has talked of me being in gaol ; but I can afford to be so, when there is a man in Smith O'Brien who can ever lead you, and never mislead you. I give you his health.—(Cheers.) The toast was drank with nine times nine. Mr. SMITH O'llaixte, in rising to return thanks, said: The manner in which you have received my health adds one additional stimulus to the excitement which has been produced by recent events.—(flear, hear.) Mr. O'Connell has done me the honour to advert to some passages in my life—whilst he has greatly exaggerated my merits and my abilities.—(No, no.) I am, however, so far able to look back with pleasure on the whole of my political. ife when I reflect upon the motives which governed me. I can truly say there has been no act of my life. public or private, that was the result of so much deliberation as that which brought me into your ranks— (Great cheering)—that there was none with respect to the lmotives of which I applied so severe a scrutiny, and none for which I could so safely ask the blessing of Hea ven.—(Renetvrd cheering.) Shall I live to regret, as I am told I shall, the step I have taken? I trust not, if my countrymen retain the same peaceful attitude of moral dignity which they have lately sustained—(Hear) —they have abstained . from. rushing into heedless struggles which would bring the country into anarchy and confusion—otherwise, though I could not impeach my motives, I should regret my conduct. It is a source of legitimate pride to me that I am enabled to meet you at this dinner, and to occupy the high station to which your kindness has raised me.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Repeal : of the 'Union." The toast was received with deafening cheers, and was most entlntsinstieully responded- to. - • Mr. ROCHE spoke to the toast. . . Sir H. W. BianoN, after an eloquent speech, begged leave to propose " The convicted conspirators," &c. Mr. J. O'CONNELL being loudly called on; replied, and resumed his seat amidA rapturous cheering.. The Rev. Mr. 'TIERNEY also returned thanks in a speech of much eloquence and considerable force, as did Dr. GRAY, be -having been called on. Mr. STEELE, too, responded in a spec ch which was enthusiastically cheered. - Mr. FAGAN next proposed, " The Liberal Members representing the province of Munster iti Parliament." Mr. D. Callaghan. M.P., Sir D. Roche, M.P., Caleb Powell, M.P.; and M. J. O'Connell, M.P., severally ac knowledged the henour. The latter gentleman was catechised whether e was a Repealer.—(Cheers and clamour.) Mr. O'CoNNELL-I believe I am, Sir. The CHAIRMAN pr oposed the healths of " The Catho lic bishops and clergy of Ireland, the tried friends and incorruptible guardians of the people. The love and reverence of their flocks have ever been dearer to them than the smiles or rewards of power." The Very Rev. Dean Com, responded to the toast. " Father Mathew, the Moral Regenerator of Ireland," Was given. _ Afew other toasts were then disposed of, and the meeting quietly and peaceably dispersed, after spending an everling of mor e th an usual recreation and moral en joyment.

During the short time that the Museum' in the Egyptian-hall has been closed, many judicious alteration.s have been made in the hanging of the portraits, in the class/. fing of the various objects illuStrative of the Emperor of the }much, of the history and events of the French Revoltition;- of the general history of Europe for more than half a cen tury, and of all the distinguished and remarkable charac-: ters with which that period abounds. There is now a com plete series of portraits of statesmen, marshals, generals, warriors, patriots, &c, forming a pictorial narrative of the events by which the reigns from Louis XVI., of the Republi can Government, of the empire, and of tke commencement of the reign of Louis XVIII., were rendered remarkable: .These portraits, or at least the very great majority of them,'are• exceedingly fine as works of art. The miniatures and enamels, which are most exquisite gems when considered in reference to their execution, the persons they depict, and the anecdotes with which they are connected, are unrivalled both as objects of vertu and as illustrations of great personages and t as b s e buynderstood which history should, have been re-arranged, and now affor d the curio us and the student an almost graphic view of the events to w hich they relate, and stirring events. There are amon g st the recent additions to the collection a fine half-length portrait of F re d er i c k t h e Great, once in the possessio n of that mo narch, and a fine por trait of Stanislaus.

The very valuable collection of letters, both on public business and private affairs, o f public documents and of family re cords, has also undergone a revision in its arrangement, by which a more easy reference to its contents is secured. Without making invidious comparisons between such an ex hibition as this and some others by which the public are at tracted, it must be said that it argues little for good taste to prefer the howling of semi-savages and the deformity of stunted nature to the treasures of art, the records of history, and the relics of great events and great men.—Tintes. INFERNAL MACHINE IN SHEFFIELD. --About half past one on Saturday morning some murderous rascal threw a tin case loaded with gunpowder into the bed room window of Mr. George Gillott, file-grinder, re 'siding at 197, Granville-street Park, Sheffield. Mr. and Mrs. Gillott, with, an infant, were at the time in bed but on jumping out Mr. Gill ott saw the fuse burning,; and very wisely got his wife and child down stairs as quickly as possible. They had, scarcely however, crossed the lower room tawards the door, when, the ex plosion took place, shaking clown part of the ceiling of the bedroom, and breaking every pane in the window, with a part of the sash also. One panel of a cupboard in the bedroom was forced out, white a post and part of the wall of a large closet adjoining was blown from the upright. Even in the lower room one panel of a door Was broken, and in the garret the roof was lifted partly up. In this place two apprentices were asleep, but only one was awoke by . the noisy; of the explosion. On hear ing it he directly jumped up, and sagaciously observed to his companion, " Bill, Biil, get thee up, or else we shall b e suffocate:l. ,' Happ ily neither of the lads sustained any personal injury. So great was the shock that it shook the wall of a house next door, occupied by Mr. James Barker. The flame from the powder came up ward's of a yard through the window into the street. It is time that such awful proceedings were officially in quired into. The lamentable frequency of their occur rence is rapidly degrading tie character of our town. It is a deplorable state of society which permits innocent families to be at the mercy of the midnight assassin.-- She /field Iris. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE DOVER RAILWAY. INQUEST ON THE BODY OF EDWARD MAY.. Last evening, at six o'clock, Mr. Payne, the Coroner for Southwark, held an inquest, at the Green Man Tavern Old Kent-road, on the body of Edward May, the unfortunate man who was killed by the falling in of a portion of the works which are Lin course of construc tion at the Bricklayers' Arms; in the Old Kent-road; belonging to the Dover and Croydon Railway Companies. The jury having been sworn, they proceeded with.the Coroner - to view the body of the deceased, which was lying in a shed behind the World Turned-upside-Down Tavern. The body presented a most frightful appear ance, the head being completely flattened, and on the right side of the forehead at least one-third of the brain of the unfortunate man was protruding. The- jury then proceeded to where the accident took place, and were occupied a considerable time in inspect ing the various portions of the fallen works. ' On their return to the Green Man the evidence - was immediately proceeded with. John West was the first witness called, and having been sworn, he said, I am a labourer, and reside in Cam berwell-place. I have been employed at the works of the Dover Railway Company. I was at work there zes terday morning. This accident happened at seven o'clock in the morning. I was on the roof that has fallen in, and was standing at about the middle of it outside, lashing a scaffold pole up. There were about six or seven men working, on the top of the roof. I had no • !iced that the principal was a little oat of its place. I did not notice it until Mr. Edwards told me. Shortly after this I suddenly found myself precipitated to the ground. I was not hurt myself. I did not know the deceased except by sight. I saw him immediately after the accident happened lying about six feet from me under an iron girder. He was got out soon afterwards, but he appe&red to be quite dead. I cannot account at all for the building giving way. I had been at work upon it about three weeks. We were boarding and slatingthe roof at the time the accident occurred. I did . not know that it was falling till I found myself half way down. By a Juror—l never heard any one make any re marks.on the lightness of the tension rod. _ William Edwards, sworn, said—l live at No. 2, Star. street, Paddington. I am an engineer. lam foreman of the boarding and roofing department at the new - station of the Dover Railway Company at the Brick layers' Arms. I was so acting when the accident-hap pened. I was on the part of the roof that fell, when the accident occurred, and was standing about thirty yards. from the last witness. I think the roof—that part that fell—was about 200 feet long. The spends were 52 feet. each. There were three spends. I did not fall with the roof, as I ran to the end, and dropped from the top of the coluinn. That was the end from the front building. When on the roof I was standing in the gutter. The first intimation I had of the accident was hearing a great crash—it resembled the falling of a quantity of trees. The iron beam which ran across the roof horizontally from the tops of the principals are bridged up a little. - Mr. Charles Herd Wild was then examined, and said lam an engineer, and reside near to Birmingham. I have seen the place that has fallen in within the last few days. I was the draftsman of the roof, and the draw ings were got up under my management. The contrac tors for these roofs live at Birmingham. lam their manager of the drawing office. There are three spends. each 52 feet, on these roofs. The office buildings are shout 300 feet long. Ido not know the width of them. These buildings are on the north side of the spands. (The witness here drew a plan of the roof.) Each prin cipal consists of two rafters ; each rafter being about 27 feet. The total rise of the roof is about ten feet. There are two exterior tie bars, and one central one. Two suspension bars and four struts. The rafters are made. of wrought iron. These are two and three-quarters inches deep, by five-sixteenths. That is very little more than a quarter of an inch thick. Between these rafters there is " a flitch" of wood one inch and three-quarters thick, and about three and a half inches deep. The ex ternal tie bars are three inches by 7-l6ths, and the central two inches by 3-Bths. The struts are cast iron. The section of the strut is in the form of a cross. The struts were to support that part of the roof between the centre and the gutters; and the struts were supported by the two external tie bars and the suspension bars. All the tie bars are single, and they are riveted with two plates. This weakens it to the ex tent of the diameter of the rivet. Such a roof would be.:r a load of about forty pounds to the square foot, which is about twice the weight that ever can come upon it. There is the weight of boarding and slating. and allow ance must be made for the impact of wind and also for snow lying upon it. The roof is supported on the north side by the wall of the offices. The shoes which are bolted at the end of the rafters, are let into "York landings," built into the walls. They are about three inches thick. There is a " joggle" in the bottom of the shoe, and that is let into the landing. The shoe is fastened to the rafters by bolts and nuts. There are no ties in the York landings to the party walls. It was never thought necessary to place any. The columns which sup ported the roof on the other side were about 27 feet apart. There were consequently eight columns in the 300 feet. They are hollow columns, and are made of cast iron. They are eight inches in diameter. The height of the `column is 15 feet 3 inches. Where the rafters are rest ing'on the columns each rafter his a separate shoe ; but where they rest on the girders, one shoe • does for two rafters—one on each roof. The columns and girders of the first spand have fallen with the roof. The columns and earders of the second spand have partially fallen. A'Juror—l think that a proper precaution was not taken in firmly fixing the ratters into the brick wall. • • Witness—l have no idea as to the cause of the acci dent. I should fancy that the rafters must have doub!ed up under the weight. My opinion is that the doubling was the cause of the fall of the roof.. • Mr. Charles Fox was then called and examined—l am one of the firm of Fox, Henderson, and Co., the contractors for this work. Messrs. Grissell and Peto are the general contractors. • I have been on the spot every tiny since the fixings were commenced. lam much in clined to think that the accident arose from the upper portion of the rafters leading from the, boarding to the ringhead or ridge, having swerved laterally, in conse quence of the skylights and cast-iron ridge not having been fixed on that part of the roof. lam led to that belief from the feet that the whole of the roof which fell down had neither skylights nor ridges fixed, and the portion of the roof which was saved had the skylights and ridges fixed, and the injury ended just were the ridges and skylights commenced. The columns fell in wards towards the office. That fact. would not lead me to the impression that the roof broke away from the wall. The York landings I believe to be sufficiently strong, inasmuch as they stand unaltered now. A Juror—=Why did you commence your slating before fixing the skylights ? Witness—Because two gangs of men cannot work at the same spot at the same time. We have often com menced slating before fixing the skylights. The line of demarcation between the roof that has fallen and. that part which is standing, is just where the skylights com mence. This roof is similar to many other roofs in other railways. The roof at Hunts' Bank station, in Manchester, is on precisely the same plan. By; a Juror—l . meant when I said the ridges, the point at the top of the roof— the horizontal bar which runs from one end to the other. • . The CORONER—Do you not think a support could be introduced in the centre? The witness—That would alter all the arrangements of the railway. The spand of this roof was not so large as on many other railways. We find, upon examining the fallen roof that the columns and the tieing-irons were not bent at all, but the prin cipals or rafters are all bent, and this confirms me in the opinion that the accident was caused by the slating being commenced before the ridges and the skylights were fixed. We never before thought it necessary to look to this precaution. We shall now be able to erect the roof without any danger. I think this one accident will certainly cost me 9001. Daniel Smith examined—l live at Windgrove-place, Clerkenwell. lam a labourer employed on these works. I was on the building at the time it gave way. I was employed putting down the boards. I cannot say which side went first. I had no time to notice. I saw the de ceased picked up. He was got out in about two minutes. The skull was fractured, and he was quite dead. Samuel May was then examined, and said, I live at Swan-lane, Rotherhithe. • The deceased was my brother, and was 38 years of age. He lived at Hanover street, Neckinger-road, Bermondsey. I knew nothing of the accident. The, CORONER then briefly addressed the jury, and said it did not appear that any blame was to be attached to any person. It appeared to be quite an accident. He did not think this was a case for the jury to impose a deodand on the building, as it was not a moveable chat tel. It was a similar case to that of the Royalty Theatre in Wellclose-square, and the jury in that case imposed a heavy deodand. The case, however, was moved into the Court of Queen's Bench, and the verdict, so far as re lated to the deodand, set aside, as the Court held that a deodand could only be imposed on a moveable chattel, such as a horse or cart. The Jury deliberated for a short time, and then re turned a verdict of " Accidental Death," at the same tune they expressed a hope that Mr. Fox, in future, would not allow any slating upon his rcof to be pro- Ceeded with until the skylights and ridges had been finished. Mr. Fox said he would take care that the wish of the jury was attended to. He would, however, remind the Jury, that no terminus could be used fdr passenger traffic until approved of by the Surveyor-General of Railways appointed by the Government. ON DiTs:—Rurnottrs of Sir James Graham's early retirement from the Home-office are prevalent in well informed circles, in which they are also credited. Such an event is by no means improbable. As Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Right Hon. Ba ronet has been singularly unfortunate. The fate of the measures it becrme his duty to introduce to Parliament has embarrassed the Ministry, and diminiShed the con fidence of the Country in its efficiency. This has 'pro bably induced Sir Robert Peel to determine on pacing in that office One who may be more successful in the pre- paration of measures, an in conducting them through the House of Commons. The appointinent of Sir James Graham to India, as successor to Lord Ellenborough,is revived in connection with the report alluded to; ah em refer the Right Hon. Baronet's reported early retirement from the Home-office to chagrin—partly because Of the difficulty in which the Government has -been placed b his unfortunate Factory ; but prin c fpally to th e re ' - fusal of Sir R. Peel to recommend hint to her - MajeSty for the Lord Lieutenancy of Curnberland, which - has been conferred on Lord LonSdale, in conjunction with that of Westmoreland. It is affirmed that - Sir James Graham was' so confident of obtaining the Lord-Lieu tenancy of Cumberland, as to have spohen of his ap pointment as a matter all but determined on.—Evening Paper, • - LITERATURE. THE ZOIST ; a Quarterly Journal of Cerebral. Pliy s;ology and Mesmerism, and their Applications to Hu man Welfare. Bailliere, Regent-street. - We have observed with much gratification the pro gress of this able periodical, the fifth number of which is before us. It is devoted, as its title implies, to the kindred sciences of mesmerism and phrenology L—kindred in so far as both relate to the nervous system ; phreno - logy applying exclusively, indeett, to one portion--the. brain, while mesmerism seems to embrace not 'only the brain and the nerves arising more immediately from it, but, in addition, ail the other nerves of the body ''and the two sciences, when fully carried out, may be ex pected to constitute a complete-physiology of the nervous system. In the prospectus, after speaking of the two sciences separately, the editors say:— " The extraordinary phenomena elicited during the excitation of the cerebral organs by means of mes merism, and establishing a connection between the two sciences, constitute another department, demanding The most serious attention and investigation ; and the aid= mate results of whieh may transcend in value and utility all that man has yet dared to hope . from science. Let, what many facts render probable, be once established, viz., that this stare of increased activity can be rendered permanent and carried into the natural state, and who does not catch a glance of a mighty engine for man's regeneration, vast in its power, and unlimited in its ap plication, rivalling in morals the effects of steam in me , chanics?'' This first number contains a powerful article on Phre nology, or Cerebral Physiology, us it is more appro priately named ; an equally powerful article on Mes merism ; several minor Original Communications on both subjects ; and a.. pretty full report of the Proceed- • ings of the London Phrenological Society. The leading articles in this number are introductory, and' will hardly boar curtailment . The second number has an admirable article on " Our Criminal Code," advocating- the moral treatment of criminals, in opposition to the system of punishment now in operation, and denouncing particu— larly the. punishment of death;—" With our present knowledge, when we look back, it does appear strange that society should have been so long occupied in s punishing men instead-of searching after the causessof criminal actions," &c...." That the judge and jury should investigate all, the circumstances occurring during a long course of criminal conduct, unanimously express their abhorrence of the. particular crime for which the prisoner is arraigned, by returning a verdict which nes cessarily consigns him to the gibbet, and yet never ask themselves the question why does this man differ from us?" &c...." The punishment of death is one of the blots which still characterise our semi-civilised condi tiun."..." We take 'not our ground on the inex pediency of retaining the punishment ofdeath in our penal code, but we proclaim the immorality and injustice of such a proceeding. It is immoral, because it is our duty to endeavour to reform and improve our brother, and not to destroy him. It is unjust, because we can pre • vent him from committing crimes, by adopting other measures ; and because we have no.right to destroy a bong who is acting according to organic laws, in other words, whose action* are necessary. On 'what ground is it continued ? It is not beneficial to the criminal, for he is destroyed. Neither is it beneficial to those who have not committed crimes. The latter may be divided iiro two classes ; one composed of beings who are a law unto themselves,' and who , under the ordinary temptations attending their career, never commit what may bs called a criminal action ; the other composed of beings, who, from an ill-balanced brain, and the addition too frequently of most unfavourable external circum stance-, are disposed to recognise no law, but to have recourse to force and cunning upon all occasions; and adopt proceedings suggested to them by this organism,. and for which society, ignorant of the natural laws, con deinns to various kinds of punishment, and frequently to the scaffold. What good effect is gained by such a course ? An execution excites no feeling of terror amongst those predisposed to commit a crime similar to that fbr which the unfortunate being is suffering. The security of the social state is not increased. Man is not to be reclaimed by exciting his fears ; the hypocrite may become more hypocritical, and the coward and demon more slavish and wily, but surely such a con summation is not to be desired ; this, certainly is not the aim of judicious legislation. Destroy -the sinner, and you destroy the tendency to sin in his neighbour ! Torture and kill an individual in the presence of as sembled thousands, and affectionately tell them to be hold his agonies, and to reap moral instruction ! Can greater- ignorance be manifested.? Yet this is the course pursued in civilised. Britain. Does the specimen of legatiied destrustiveness, exhibited by an execution, excite the moral organs in those witnessing it ? Quite the reverse ; it is a direct stimulant to the animal organs. How absurd then the notion of elevating and 'improving man, by presenting to his notice the destruction of the most unfortunate, pitiable, and de graded specimens of his species. Ferocity and barbarian ruthlessness still characterise our criminal law. Ignor ance and indifference are still personified on the judicial bench ; for there physiological science is not studied, and moral promptinso are uncared for." "It may be asked, if this _punishment is abolished,. what do you propose to substitute ? an what principle do you intend- to govern men, and to punish offenders? Individuals who have committed actions which are op posed to the safety and stability of the social compact' should be confined ; not for the purpose of punishments:- but solely with the object cf. reformation. A Govern , ' ment framing laws for the -regulation and control of a people, should have the power. to• seclude those indivi duals who break these laws ; and,aluring the seclusion, dross measures should be adopted most calculated to enable the offender to recover and retain his lost station in society. Those who have committed crimes against life, rye those whose actions and cerebral conformation prove them to be . incapable of free intercourse with their neighbours- vs ithout the -cammittal: of crime, should be confined for, life, and be considered moral patients, more fitted for the wards of a moral infirmary than for the treadmill, the solitary . cell, or the scat old," &c. These extracts will suffice to show the general bear ing of the article, for the more complete working out of which, we must refer our readers to the work itself. This, and the Third Number also, contains cases of the cure , of a variety of diseases by means of, mesmerism from Dr. Eiliotson. After stating that for six years he had carefully and constantly investigated the powers of Mesmerism over different diseases," and had employed a former pupil at University College to mesmerise for him during the whole of that period, Dr. Eiliotson says, " I have found it one of the most important remedies, and accumulated a great amount of decisive evidence of its marvellous powers, even when all other means have failed in the hands of the most noted practitioners. This evidence I shall gradually send. to your publication. It would probably not be received by the medical journals, and 1 should indeed be unwilling to transmit it to any medical journal or society, since the conduct of the me dical profession has been so disgraceful, both intellec tually and morally. My statements will, I know, be relied upon. They are not only true to the letter, but are the result of the most patient and careful labour, gone through with no view to emolument or reputation, but for the love of acquiring and disseminating know ledge. I have never received a fee and never will, for practising mesmerism, from the humblest or the highest. .. . . Reputation is out of the question. The medical profession being totally ignorant of-the subject, have thought proper to stigmatise me as a fool, a visionary, a madman, aye, and a quack, for under standing something of it. Their ignorance and conceited obstinacy have been my disgrace. From being thought a 'careful and conscientious ob server," a most skilful physician in ascertaining the real nature of a disease, and in employing remedies ' • a great contributor to the improvement of th e m edi ca l art,' and worthy to have the largest.and most leading practice ;' destined to divide the town with Dr. Chambers, who was to be the Halford and I the Baillie of the day,' pos sessing the hilliest claim to be physician in ordinary to the Monarch styled the first physician of the age,' in letters brought by patients without end, the only effect of which was to make me work the harder, that I might one day really deserve such commendation, I was all at once considered destitute of all my previous knowledge and skill, incapable of observation and investigation, and unworthy of any practice," &c. The Doctor goes on in this and the succeeding Numbers to detail some highly interesting cases of insanity, St. Vitus' dance, palsy, and deafness and dumbness cured by mesmerism. Vie have not room for any further extracts at.present, but shall return to the subject on a future occasion. . . On Thursday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the new Directors elected on Wed wsday last, viz., Sir Robert Campbell, Bart., Mr. James Weir Hogg, M.P., Hon. Hugh Lindsay, Major-General Archibald Robertson, Lieutenant-Colonel William Henry Sykes, and Sir Henry Willock, K.L.S., took the oaths and their seats. Mr. John Shepherd was chosen Chairman, and Sir Henry Willock, K.L.S., Deputy-Chairman, for the year ensuing.

LIABILITY OF MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT TO SERVE 'ON JURIES.--FINING JURORS.—At the recent session of the peace for the City of London, held at Guildhall on Saturday last, sonic delay took place in the formation of the Grand Jury, by the non-attendance of the gentle men summoned, several of whom were fined 101. for not answering to their names, whilst one gentleman, who had been fined on two former occasions for non-attendance, and wished to be excused on the present, was told that be would be excused, but would be placed on the.grand jury list of the Central Criminal Court, where he would be en gaged for a week, instead of only about an hour at the •sesSion. On the name of Mr. Richard Sanderson being called, Gore, the. summoning officer, said that gentleman claimed to be exempt on the ground that, he was a Mem ber of Parliament. `rhe Recorder-L-That will nut excuse him from serving whilst the House is not sitting. When was the summons served ? Gore—On the 28th of March. The Recorder—Then the service. is not good, ;Ind Mr. Sat:46-Bmi must be excused ; the ,ilouse was then sitting. _ Mr. Sanderson was then told that he need not wait.

Should you say the French were a sober set ?----L. .. Yes, they appeared a very comfortable set of people. I am very well pleased with them for my own part. I did not see them get beastly drunk as working men are inclined to do here. What amusements or innocent recreations has a working-man here on a Sunday ?—None at all that know, but taking a walk in the country, which is not forbidden that I know of. Did you go to church at Mulhausen ?—Yes ; but from not so well understanding the. language, it made it a ery awkward. Igo to the-old church here pretty regularly, hut having the care of Mr. , Roberts ma chinery, and living on the premiaes, I cannot ways go. Judgingfrom what you saw in France and S land, do you think it conducive to the morality and good conduct of the working class that they should spend a portion of Sunday in such recreations as 'you have described ?—Judging from what I saw there, I should say that it was much better than the way. in which people are forced to.spend Sunday in England. It is a thing I have thought of ever since I WaS there. Here a man can do nothing but go to the public-house on .a Sunday, and he goes with the in - tention to get drunk, as it were ; and sit drinking glass atter glass ; there, people going out.to dances and different games, and having different recreations at the places where they go, such as cards and dominoes, can cheerfully enjoy themselves, drinking but little. But here a man can do nothing at a, public-house, if he goes there, but drink, and he can go nowhere else on a Sunday. It seemed to me that they' went easier and happier to their work again therothan they do here. Everybody has a right to his own opinion ; but, after what I saw there, I alb confident that nothing; would be more conducive to 'the good behaviour of working class here than fur them to have such innoaent recreations on a Sunday as they have there. I was left fatherless myself here at seven years of age, and I went to a Methodist Sunday school in Lever-street, where I was taught hymns and prayers, but nothing of reading and writing, when a young fellow with w h om I was acqua i n t e d S took me to a unday school in Mosley-street, belong ing to the Unitarians, where they taught reading-end writing on a Sunday. This I found of great service. lam not a Unitarian. I know that children do nut get any good by being taught prayers and hymns, as. I was at a Methodist school. They sing anti say-, but don't understand them. Something useful should be got into their heath. There ate thousands of children that go to Methodist schools : they are never taught anything but to read. the Bible, and not to write. lam sure they should be taught something else. Judging from myself as a child, and from others that I have seen, I consider the manner. the Methodists treat their. children in Sunday schools . a .complete loss of time; it keeps them out of the streets, and that is all. . Then your opinion is, - that religiciii among , the working class would not be injured by spending the Sunday in England as they do in France and S witzer land ?—I do really consider it would be improved; for even now, if a young fellow wants a little recreation on a 'Sunday, he gets up early and takes a stroll into the. country, and comes home in the middle of the day tired, and then he thinks of a public-hose. But if he knew that, after the Middle of the day, be - could go out into the country to cheerful society and lively meetings, I do really believe he Would be More: apt to go to church of a morning. I was struck with,. the advantages. that the working cla ss seeme d tome . to have in France and Switzerland over us here ith spending their-Sundays. It does produce there what I never see in England. • THE LATE - FATAL FIRE 1N OXFORD -STREET: FUNERAL OF THE StTFFErtmts.L-Yesterday afternoon the mortal remains of Mrs. Williams and her two children were removed from the. house tf herbrother, Mr. Abbott, O.lkensed victualler, in High-street,. St. 'Giles's, to their last resting place, -at Kemal-green cemetery. The funeral was an nounced to take lace at two o'clock, and long before that time crowds of - persons were collected round the how., anxious to catch. a glimpse of the mournful procession. W. -are sorry to say that Mr. Williams (the husband-) ,bas,..haett out of his mind since eight o'clock yesterday morning, and he, w - ss so violent between eleven and twelve o'clock that tts , siq, once was sent for, and he was obliged to be strapped dOWn; therefore he was quite unconkiOns of the funeral. It must be a source.of gratification to the friends of the deceased lady to hear of the respect which was paid to her upon this melancholy occasion. • With one or two exceptions, all the shops around the neighbourhood where the tire took plat* -were dosed. The bodies of the servants had, from the time they were dug out of the ruins, been lying at the undertakers', and they were. yesterday conveyed to, and met the procession_ at the cemetery. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—OR Tharsday, the tar Lund naphtha distillery at Bromley-common, the property of Mr. Bethel!, was destroyed by fire, together with a considerable quantity of valuable materials used in the business. -Thc: origin of the calamity is not ascertained; but the &now made their first appearance in the counting-house, and, owing to the inflammable nature of the property, all th efforts made to stop the conflagration were unavailing. Mr. Bethell was not insured. EASTER EXCURSIONS.—The number of passengers on the Eastern Counties Railway, froin Easter Tuesday to Wednesday inclusive, was 13,454, of which 5,439 till yelled into the country, and 8.015 up to town. On this, as on the Brighton and Dover lines, the greater propor-- Aion of traffic was up to the metropolis. The excurs tickets issued on the Brighton line, from Mondav, Wednesday inclusive, was 5,720, and on 'Easter Mr,na u v and Tuesday, to Dover, 1,270. The number of passen gers on the Blackwall line, on Easter Monday vat; 13,570 ; on Tuesday, 10,220; and on Wednesday 8,970. the chief proportion of whi c h were v i s i tors to Gre enwich Fair. WINDSOR STEEPLE-CHASES.—It having been found that the severe injuries sustained by Mr. Newton's brown gelding Napoleon, in .falling in taking a ditch. about 10 feet wide, on the first day of the Windsor Steeple-chases, while running for the Hack Stakes, were of so serious a nature as-to preclude, all chance of its re covery, it was killed on Wednesday evening. Upon an examination then taking place its back was found eo be broken. This makes the third horse which has 'been destroyed in consequence of injuries sustained during the first day's races. The other two were Lord Glamis black gelding the Stranger, aged, and Captain!Sutton's Jessie, by BrutandorC6 years old. The Stranger ran in the Handicap steeplechase, Jessie in the Military steeple-chase, and Napoleon in the Hack chase—the only three races run that day. LONDON PEACE SOCIETT.—A meeting under dab auspices of this Society was held on Wednesday, in the Ilan street Chapel, Bethnal-green. Mr. Edward Perry, of Bisliore , - gate-street, presided. He stated the object of the meeting. A resolution to the effect that war is inconsistent with th e spirit of Christianity and the interests of mankind , was moved by Mr. John Larrith, and seconded by the Rev. Aveling, of Kingsland. In proposing the reso l u tion, 5.. Larrith stated that he had been twelve years i n the Arm y , : I j a. : - but had left it as he considered that military servitude was totally, inconsistent with the Christi an reli g ion. When the Chairman was about to put the res olu t ion, a p erson in the body of the chapel observed that it was impossible to put , : down war till every man of twenty-one years of age had E: voice in the election of Members of . Parliament. It was theat explained by the Chairman that the London Peace So c i e t y , eelf years, had never, with which has now been in existence for nearly tw e nty-tirrht o f th e political movements of the day, and howe ver ranch t h e members of the Society might individually e n t erta i n the opinions embraced in the People's Chart er , it would forward b e extremely injudicious to bring th em any in the slightest degree, identified it oa the pre sent occasion. The resolution was put and. carried by mega illation. The Rev. John Jefferson, of Stoke NeWingtoe, s ecre tary orthe Society,-Spoke at consid era bl e length, entere iug into arguments deduced from Scripture, i principles for•which they contended, cow di n g s" withport of a resolution that the efforts of the Peaceroci n t - to nTol.h-taeg the public mind on Christian dto e decided an one a public opinion in accordance therewith, - were deserving sup port. This was seconded by the Rim W. Tyler, of Spital fields, and unanimously agreed to. A declaration in accord ance with these resolutions was afterwards read to the meet ing, and numerously signed. JOHN KEMBLE IN PALSTAFF.—John Kt mble it is well known entertained the intention of acting the elm • meter of Falstaff ; indeed, unless we are much mistaken his appearance in the part was `actually announced. From this undertaking, however, he was dissuaded by his friends, who could see nothing of the humorous fat; knight in the grave and dignified, representatives of the; heroes of old Rome. But far ether than the ceniesr tional stage-Falstaff; the model. followed more or t• s, closely by the generality of acteass, was Kemble's notion of that extraordinary Shakspelittei character, the Falstaff' of Henry the Fourth, not he of The Merry Wive* Of Windsor, for between them there, are wide differences iu many essential respects. Dr. ~. Me gi n n , in his "Slid;;` speare Papers," says—" we must observe that he (Fal staff) never laughs. Others kenigh with him, o: at him, but no laughter from hith who occasions or permits it. Ile jests with a sad brow. The wit a hivh he profusely scatters about is from the beats. not the heart. Its s`• . tire is slight, and never mall/ nant or affronting ; I .tili it is satirical, and seldom joyous.
