Any one who has counted the myriads that for the last mouth have weekly bade their native land good' night"—any one who still Lumbers tha tens of thousands that con tinue weekly to wing their way to continental shores, will have little difficulty in guessing where London is now actually to be found. Despite the threatening murmurs from Otaheite—despite the portentous booming of the Prince de Joinville's cannon at Tangiers and Mo gadore, London rushes onwards to Paris, and Paris, de serted by its recreant Parisians, may almost be said to be in the possession of adventurous tour-enamoured Lon doners. To carry away the spoils of the French capital ere ths: blast of war be sounded—to secure some of its rich and unequalled produce in this perhaps their last trip—is the natural desire of our travelling compatriots. A few hints touching the selection of their purchases may not be unacceptable at this critical moment. The Palais Royal, as a general depot of all that is taste ful and graceful, need only to be mentioned. But they who depart from it without visiting the magazine of La hoche Loin dicif eserlier de Cristal, have seen but the half of its attractions and wonders. This is the house, which, at the last Exposition Nationale, displayed such exquisite designs in porcelain and crystals as elicited unbounded admiration, and from Which Mr. Wilson, the agent of our Government, made such large purchases. For those who have not inspected the stock of this ma nufactory, to form an idea of the novel shapes and bril liant colours imparted to porcelain and crystal by recent improvements in the art would be impossible. The chaste and striking forms of antiquity are reproduced with increased beauty, and the elegant designs of mo dern taste are wrought in a style and with an eclat hitherto unimagined. To the simple lovers of vertu a visit to the magazine would be a treat indeed, for here the rarest specimens of old Sevres, and, in fact, objects of curiosity of all descriptions, and of the greatest value, are to be found. Ancient and modern art, side by side, delight the eye, and offer to the connoisseur the widest scope for the exercise of his judgment and his choice. Should our sight-seeing countrymen be pass ing along the Boulevard des Italins, let them not fail to enter the handsome furniture manufactory of M. Osmont. Here they will see the effect of this gentle man's imitation of Chinese Jaquer (La Lague de Chine), as used in the varnishing and decoration of general fur niture. Nothing can be conceived more truly splendid than a drawing-room suite lacquered with this composi don, which is infinitely superior to that used by the Chinese, and the invention of which was very de servedly rewarded by the silver medal at the last Exposition. Hitherto we were forced to be content with shawl-boxes, screens, tea-caddies, and such like little articles in this lacquer, which the " Celestials" were pleased to send us ; now, however, thanks to M. Osmont's invention, we may have our drawing-rooms and our bou doirs entirely furnished in this rich and beautiful tstyle. Meetion of the draping-room and the boudoir reminds us of la belle toilette; and to our fair countrywomen sejoerning in the French capital we say—" As you value your reputation for elegance, neglect not to consult les Dames Herbauit Nils:et, of the Rue Ali:lard." Besides the certainty of seeing in the ntaison des modes of these ladies such a daily variety of costume and fashion as absolutely amazes the spectator by its pro fusion and good taste, one has the great advan- tage of being certain to meet there the elite of Parisian society, and the cream of distinguished foreigners. In such a circle of stylishness and bon ton, and in the hands of such artistes as les Dames Ilerbault Niices, it is impossible not to become " the glass of fashion and the mould of form." English beauty adorned by French art is truly the perfection of loveliness. As we are on the subject of female costume, we may as well give a hint regarding that most important portion of it, the bonnet. The ,cll,:peou de paille still continues the rage, and a visit to the magazine of M. Fleschelle, of the Rue Richelieu ' is indispensable to ladies desirous of being regarded as models of fashion. The variety of chapeaux de paille is so great that to particularise them would be endless. The chapeau de paille fantasie, the chapeau de paille de Lies et paille de riz brode, the chapeau brovete guipure et paille, in difThrent colours and designs, are equally charming and equally commendable for ele- fiance. TO each wearer mtist be left the discretion of choosing those which best become her complexion and style of beauty.—Post. IRELAND. THE WRIT OF ERROR.. DUBLIN, SEPT. 5, TEN O'CLOCK, P.M. LIBERATION OF MR. O'CONNELL. GRAND POPULAR DEMONSTRATION. After the dispatch of my second letter by the mail this evening, I proceeded to the Richmond Prison. The streets all along the route were densely crowded, and in front of the prison an immense mul titude were assembled. In a short time the crowd became so numerous that it was necessary to send for the Horse. and Foot Police to preserve a passage. Messrs. Ford, Mahony, and Cantwell, immediately after the arrival of the train at the terminus at Westland-row, proceeded to the prison to communi cate the decision of the House of Lords to Mr. O'Connell. In less than half an hour after the arrival of the mail-packet in Kingstown, Mr. O'Connell and his fellow-prisoners were acquainted with the fact of the reversal of the judgment. Mr. O'Connell received tho intelligence with great gratification, be cause it proved the utter injustice of the sentence which had deprived him of his liberty, and he was the more rejoiced at such a result, inasmuch as it was the solemn decision of the highest court of appeal, branding the jury list as having been fraudulently concocted. In this decision of the House of Lords, Mr. O'Connell recognised the complete justifi cation of himself, and the condemnation of the prosecution, and the instruments by whom that prosecution had been maintained. All through he had avowed his determination never to submit to the slightest compromise, though his prison doors should be opened on the condition of .a particle of concession on his part. There were confident state ments that the royal clemency would be extended to the State prisoners if the appeal should be decided against them. But Mr. O'Connell had determined never to submit to the slightest compromise, under any circumstances whatsoever. The order for the liberation of the State prisoners is expected to morrow evening. They will leave the prison on Saturday morning, at ten o'clock, ac companied by an immense procession of the citizens, headed by the Lord Mayor. The procession will go over the same ground by which Mr. O'Connell had been led from the Court of Queen's Bench to the Prison, and from the Courts the procession will go through the great leading streets of Dublin, finally restoring Mr. O'Connell to his mansion in Merrion square. A general illumination is spoken of; in fact, all sorts of rejoicings are projeck.d. The reversal of the judgment has fallen like a thunderbolt amongst the Orange and Tory party here. After the desperate assertion of Sir R. Peel, that Mr. O'Connell had bad a "fair trial," the ultras here speculated and betted upon a confirmation of the unjust judgment by the House of Lords. They are wofully disappointed; but the people rejoice ac cordingly. In all parts of the city placards are exhibited, an nouncing the glorious intelligence, and all the streets are crowded, and perfectly peaceable. The Repeal Association is not to meet until the regular day (Monday next), when Mr. O'Connell is to attend.—Chronicle. LATEST PARTICULARS. LIBERATION OF THE STATE PRISONERS. :From the Second and Third Editions of the Sunday Times.) O'CONNELL AT HOME. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING.--Mr. Gartlan rived from _London by the evening mail packet of yesterday, bringing with him the order of the House of Lords for the liberation of the State prisoners. He first waited on the Sheriff, and having procured from him a warrant authorising the Governor forthwith to discharge from his custody the repeal leaders, he pro ceeded to the prison, accompanied by Messrs. Cant well, Ford, R( illy, and Alahony, bearing on his skioulder the monster indictment, and in his hand the reverse of the foul decree by which the moral governor of Ireland and his associates were deprived of their liberty. Having reached the prison, Mr. Ford pro ceeded to the apartments of Mr. O'Connell, and handed him the order for his liberation. Mr. O'Connell THE GAME LAWS.—Two of the gamekeepers of the Earl of Stradbroke committed suicide on Saturday and Sunday, within twenty-four hours of each other. Report attributes the death of both of them " to their anxiety and dread of meeting their master (who was ex pected at Ilenham-park on Saturday, on his return from his Irish estates, but who is not now looked for till this week), fearing his anger that such extensive depreda tions should have been allowed among his preserves as have lately thinned the number of his pheasants, &c." There are other reports to a similar effect, showing that the anxiety of mind which ended in these unfortunate men destroying themselves was caused by their solici tude about the game they had to preserve. It is not long since another gamekeeper of this same Lord Strad broke was murdered by poachers, and, if our memory serves us aright, several transportations beyond the seas were the consequence. Look, then, at the loss of life, the misery, and the expense to the public, that this, single landlord's game may be preserved. Let it be held in mind that, during the last ten years, some thirty gamekeepers have been murdered, and as many poachers hanged for the murders—that in one year, namely, 1843, thirty persons were transported, and 4,500 convicted and sentenced to fine and imprisonment in England alone, for infringements of the game laws—that the cost of prosecuting the " criminals," and in maintaining their families when thrown upon the parish, amounts annually to not less than 100,000/. sterling, not to speak of the im mense cost of maintaining those who are transported beyond the seas, nor of the wreck and ruin of virtue and happiness to tens of thousands, nor of the brutal and re vengeful feelings engendered, and the desperate crimi nals who are brought into existence and fostered by these laws ; and who shall say but that they are one of the greatest curses of our land, and ought, without delay to be swept from off our statute-book for ever 2—Leeds Times. NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT, SEPT. 7.—Another land slip of a rather alarming character has occurred at Atherfield; upwards of an acre of land at the point of the cliff has moved off into the sea, without giving no tice to quit. This part was supposed to be most secure, being based upon large rocks. The superincumbent weight, however, has forced these layers of stone, which it appears reached to no great depth, into grotesque po sitions. The inhabitants of a house, which was supposed to have been erected at a safe distance from all danger, were not a little surprised one morning at hearing a loud noise like thunder, which awoke the villagers above, and on getting up to ascertain the cause, they found their habitation within one yard of the edge of a tremendous precipice, the walls of the building giving evident warn ing that a further sojourn in it might prove dangerous to its inmates. It is said that the station-houses appro priated to the use of the preventive service are not in the most safe foundation if another slip should cccur. SERIOUS INDISPOSITION or MISS PEEL.—We re gret to hear that, owing to the alarming illness of Miss reel, daughter of Sir Robert and Lady Peel, that the Right Hon. Baronet, who had made every arrangement to accompany her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert to Blair Atholl, will not be able to embark to day for Scotland, as was his intention. On Saturday morning the most painful advices were received from the local medical adviser at Drayton Manor, who, it appears, deemed it his duty to call in additional medical attend ance—Sir Charles Clark and Dr. Hodgson from Bir mingham having been requested to give their professional opinion on the disorder of the youthful invalid. Yes terday morning a messenger arrived by the earliest train from Drayton Manor, and was the bearer of more aggravated accounts, as to excite the worst apprehen sions ; and, in consequence, Sir Robert and Lady Peel left town by the ten o'clock train, yesterday, tor Bir mingham, with the intention of proceeding direct to Drayton Manor with all possible haste. ATTEMPTED MURDER.—Yesterday morning (Sun day) the inhabitants of York-street, London load, Southwark, were thrown into a state of the greatest ex citement and alarm, which lasted throughout the whole day, in consequence of a most inhuman and murderous attack which was made upon an aged man named Richard Barber, residing at No. 8, Lewis's-rents, situate in the centre of the above street, adjoining St. George's Market. It appears that the man Barber, with his wife and son, have been leading a very dissipated life for some time past, especially the son, who is about seven teen years of age, and bears a very bad character in the neighbourhood. Shortly before eleven o'clock yesterday morning, whilst they were taking breakfast, a quarrel took place respecting a book called the" Newgate Calen der," which the son (Thomas Barber) was in the habit of reading. The father said he (the son) should not read such works, and attempted to take the book from him ; Areht li . l ", ll f, SATURDAY.—DF.

The Gover nor, with the greatest promptitude, communicated in the most gentlemanly manner to the State prisoners that he had the pleasing duty of telling them that they were again at liberty, and free to return to their homes.

The Bishop will conclude his visi " inis week at the Cathedral Church of Bristol. bu THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1844. mad joy took place as we have never seen anything that it resembled. We were then occupying a place in Mr. O'Connell's balcony. The enthusiasm of the multitude seemed incapable of subsidence ; theiracclamation was a sustained body of sound that smote the air as sharp as pealing mus ketry; hats were not waived, but flung up into the air, nay, flung away as if the wearers could never possi bly need them again.. One only thought seemed to possess the multitude. O'Connell and Ireland had triumphed. O'Connell was abroad before their eyes to embody the victory, and the tumultuous joy of the moment was but faintly expressed by the expenditure of all the energy and voice they could devote to it. In a few moments after Mr. O'Connell entered the house he presented himself at the balcony. The greeting with which he had been received below was continued—it could not be exceeded. He frequently csAtyod to address the assemblage, but his words were drowned in the reiterated acclamations that ascended from the vast multitude, and several minutes elapsed before their enthusiasm became sufficiently subdued to - permit them to listen even to him. At length, during the brief intervals of silence, he spoke to the following effect : MR. O'CONNELL'S SPEECH. Why you seem (Cheers.) It seems as if you were glad to see nre home again.—(Tremendous cheering and waving of hats.) This is my own honest home—(Cheering for several minutes)—but I have come home from a prison.—(Cheers.) In other ceuntries—(Cheers)—they send the rogues to prison and leave the honest men at home, but many a paltry rogue was left at home while I was confined within the walls of a gaol.—(lmmense cheers.) But God is stronger than our enemies —(Cheers)—and thanks be to that God—(Great sensation)—l am here to-night in my own home.—(Cheers.) The rogues are at home too, but do they feel as comfortable to night as I do ?—(Cheers.) The foul attempt to destroy the sacred right of petitions, to vio late the jury -box, and trample the constitu tion in my person—that foul and felonious attempt has signally failed.—(Loud cheers.) The people of Ireland have gained a mighty victory, and well have they deserved that victory—they have—the moral, the temperate, the religious people of Ireland.—(Tre mendous cheering.) In their hundred thousand strength they were mild as the playful lamb that crops the herbage as it passes along, and such mild ness will they show in their might at present.— (Tremendous cheering.) Oh, but we'll have ala bra pleasura: to-morrow.—(Loud cheers.) But no man shall be harmed—no man shall be insulted or offended —there shall not even be a groan.—(Loud cheering.) We will laugh to-morrow, and keep the groaning for another day. I did not make a speech these three months—(Tremendous cheering and waving of hats) —I did not make a speech these three months, so my pipe is a little out of tune.—(Cheers.) In the meet ings of 1843—the glorious meetings of 1843—they called them monster meetings—(Cheers)—because such assemblages could not be peacefully collected in any country on earth except our own—(Tremendous cheers)—not a blow was struck—not a glass of whisky drank—not even an accident occurred. — (Cheers.) No one was shoved, or crushed, or pressed upon.—(Great cheering.) Oh, it could happen no where but amongst the courteous people of Ireland — the people of Ireland that are kind to one another — the Christian people of Ireland—(Cheers)—and now, blessed be God, we are here to-night rejoicing.— (Deep sensation.) We shall have no tumult to morrow—a little shout we will have—and some cheer ing —the happy bird must chirrup.—(Tremendous cheering.) And now go home in quiet, and tell every one you meet that we are to assemble to-morrow in peace and happiness.—(Cheers.) And then go to your rest, having first offered up your thanksgivings to the Almighty that he has vouchsafed to look in mercy upon his people of Ireland, and I promise you we will have the repeal.—(Tremendous cheers.) The Liberator having retired from the balcony— The HEAD PACIFICATOR then came forward, and waving his hand to the people, cried out, " Home, home." Immediately from the vast assembly arose the cry, " Home, home ;" and then they moved away, passing the house of the Liberator in one dense deep stream, and at half-past seven o'clock Merrion square was silent, or disturbed only by the footstep of the casual passenger. We have been informed . that the clerks of the House of Lords gave the prisoner's attorneys every possible facility towards hastening the documents necessary for an immediate discharge. All other business was cheerfully postponed to dispatch that which was to give effect to the late decision of the last court of appeal. presented such a mass of human beings since the visit of George IV. The procession moved along over Carlisle bridge, on its way to Mr. O'Connell's house in Merri9n square, which it reached about a quarter to six o'clock, the same degree of enthusiasm marking the populace as it proceeded. Mr. O'Connell having descended, entered the house, and shortly appeared on the balcony, and addressed the immense assem blage, thanking them for the grand display they made in honour of him and his fellow-patriots, and cau tioning all against violating the peace. This may indeed be termed " a great day for Ire land." Mr. O'Connell and the repeal party seem to have gained much strength by his incarceration. There will be great work at the Conciliation Hal} meeting on Monday next. Mr. O'Connell will be there, and it is reported that the Hon. Mr. Caulfield, brother of Lord Charlemont, is likely, to take the chair on the occasion. The rent will be up. During the thirteen weeks' imprisonment of Mr. O'Connell there has been collected 27,000/. repeal rent ! GREAT PRO C ESSION English imperial feeling, meditated and had almost accomplished."

We have the utmost satisfaction in announcing that it has been decided upon, that a public banquet should be given to the Liberator of Ireland and his fellow martyrs, on some convenient day within the present month. Steps have already been taken, and arrange ments made, to give to this banquet all the eclat a great national festival should have. We believe that all parts of Ireland will be represented on this great occasion, and that it will be every way worthy of the country and of those gentlemen in whose honour it will be holden.— Weekly l Freeinan's Journal. HER MAJESTY'S MARINE EXCURSION. The course by which her Majesty will proceed on her excursion to Scotland is as follows :—The Queen embarks at Woolwich, instead of Portsmouth, as was before named,!onboard the Victoria and Albert steam ship, commanded by Captain Lord Adolphus Fitz elarenee, and will proceed from thence direct to Dun dee, without the yacht touching at any port on her passage. The preparations on board for the Queen and the royal children, in the arrangement of the nur series and other rooms, has been most complete ; the former communicates with the Queen's own apart ments, being immediately under, and forming a con tinuation of; the royal staircase. Since the royal yacht has returned from the westward, she has been re-decorated and painted, and looks remarkably well. The following vessels have been appointed to form the royal squadron :—The Royal Victoria and Albert steam-vessel, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.8.; the Stromboli steam-fiigate, Commander the Hon. E. Plunkett; the Eclair steam-frigate, Com mander Walter G. B. Estcourt ; the Blazer steam vessel, Captain I. Washington ; the Volcano steam vessel, Lieut.-Conirnander E. C. Miller; the Princess Alice steam-vessel, Master-Com man d er L. Smithett. The Castle of Blair, the ancient seat of the noble family of the Atholls, has been under repair and im provement for a month past. A number of Lord Glenlyon's followers have again been in training for the reception of her Majesty.. The game on the moors and in the forest of Atholl have been strictly preserved. Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of Liverpool, and others of her Majesty's Ministers, are expected to constitute part of the royal suite. Her Majesty is expected to return from Scotland early in October, when the King of the French is confidently expected to visit her in England. A squadron of five steam-vessels is preparing at Cher- bourg, and one of them, bearing a rear-admiral's flag, is now ready. These ships will, it is believed, leave Cherbourg early in October, and proceed to Treport, at which port his Majesty will embark, and cross over to Brighton or Portsmouth. DEPARTURE OF THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA FOR THE CONTINENT. On Saturday morning his Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, attended by Chevalier Bunsen, and the mem bers of his suite, left the residence of the Legation shortly after twelve o'clock, and proceeded to the Na tional Gallery, for the purpose of viewing the collection of pictures contained therein. After walking through the apartments, critically examining the various works of art, the royal party left for Argyll House, the resi dence of the Earl of Aberdeen. The Noble Earl, not having returned from Windsor, his Royal Highness did not alight, but proceeded at once to Apsley House, to take leave of the Duke of Wellington. His grace re ceived the Prince in the vestibule, and, conducted him up the grand staircase, they entered the principal saloon, where they spent some time in earnest conversation, after which the Prince took leave of the gallant duke in the most affectionate manner. From Apsley House his Royal Highness proceeded to the house of Sir Benjamin Hall, in Portman-square, to take leave of Lady and Miss Hall, after which the illustrious party returned to the Legation to lunch. At three o'clock the royal carriages were again in at tendance to convey the Prince to Messrs. Barclay and Perkins's Brewery, in Southwark. Here the koyal party were received by Mr. Bevan, one of the members of the firm, who conducted his Royal Highness through the various departments, visiting in succession the " stage," where a complete view of the splendid ma chinery is obtained, the tun-room, the stores, and the stabling. The Prince appeared greatly pleased with all that he saw, and upon taking leave expressed his thanks to Mr. Bevan for the polite attention shown to him. Thence his Royal Highness proceeded to the terminus of the London and Greenwich Railway, and having, with his suite, entered a first-class carriage, he reached Greenwich at a quarter-past four o'clock. One of the Queen's carriages was in attendance at the terminus, and his Royal Highness having entered it, drove direct to the residence of Admiral Stopford, governor of the hospital, who received his Royal Highness upon alight ing. The illustrious party were then conducted by Sir Robert Stopford through the noble institution over which the gallant admiral presides, with all the arrange ments of which the Prince expressed himself highly gratified. On leaving the Painted Hall the royal party proceeded to the Naval School, where the Prince was received by Lieutenant Rouse, a gallant veteran, who, having lost a limb in the service, now fills the responsible office of the superintendent of the schools. The pupils, to the num ber of 800, were ranged round the quadrangle in which the model ship is erected, and as the Prince entered the band of juvenile performers commenced playing " God save the Queen," and the national anthem of Prussia, the yards of the model ship being manned at the same moment by some of the pupils. His Royal High ness subsequently witnessed the pupils exercise in the gymnasium, and then proceeded to the Crown and Sceptre Tavern, where his Royal Highness and a distin guished party sat down to dinner at six o'clock. His Excellency. the Russian Ambassador, Baron Brunnow, the Austrian Minister, Baron Nieumann, and Captain Smith, R.N., were among the company present. At a quarter to eight o'clock his Royal Highness re turned, and in company with his suite entered the barge of the William and Mary yacht, which was in attend ance, under the command of Captain Smith, to convey the royal party on board the Lightning steam-tender, Master Commander W. Roberts, which had previously arrived from Woolwich, having taken on board the lug gage of his Royal Highness at that port. At eight o'clock, his Royal Highness having taken leave of Che valier Bunsen, who accompanied the Prince on board, the moorings were let go, and the steamer proceeded down the river to Ostend, at which port his Royal Highness is expected to land en route for Berlin. GRAND WHITEBAIT ENTERTAIN MENT TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA. On Saturday last Chevalier Hebeler, the Prussian Consul-General, had the honour conferred on him of entertaining his Royal Highnes§ the Prince of Prussia at the Crown and Sceptre Tavern, Greenwich, previous to the embarkation of the Royal visitor on board the Lightning, Government steamer, for Ostend. The following distinguished personages were invited to meet his Royal Highness :—His Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar (who, however, left for the Continent early in the day), Count Puckler, Count Konigsmark, Baron Schleinitz, Baron Berg, his Excel lency Chevalier Bunsen, Mr. Ernest Bunsen, Baron Thile, Lieut. Baron de Thule, Captain Meynell, R.N., Equerry to the Prince, the Earl of Westmoreland, his Excellency Baron Brunnow, his Excellency Baron Nieu mann, his Excellency Count Nesselrode, Earl Howe, B. B. Cabell, Esq., J. Ramsbottom, Esq., M.P., Rev. J. Fal lowfield (representing the G rand Lodge of Freemasons of England) ; the Earl of Dalhousie, Admiral Sir R. Stop ford (Governor of Greenwich Hospital), H. Lefevre, Esq., J. M'Gregor, Esq., Baron Stockmar, Frederick Huth, Esq., Sir H. Ellis (librarian of the British Museum), Capt. Smithers (Commander of the Princess Alice), Dr. Welcker, Capt, Gordon, R.N., Capt. Smith, R.N., Capt. Ibbetson, R.N., F. G. Richardson, Esq. His Royal Highness and suite, after visiting the hospital and asylum, paid a farewell visit to her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia, at Blackheath, and arrived in the royal carriages at the Crown and Sceptre at half-past five. Her Majesty's steamer Lightning was moored opposite the house, and his Royal Highness embarked in the William and Mary barge, at the Tavern Stairs, at halt past eight. His Royal Highness condescendingly con veyed, through one of his suite, his approbation of the entertainment. his Royal Highness looked extremely well, and seemed much pleased with his reception. The juvenile band from Greenwich Ho s p ital, by direc tion of Sir R. Stopford, were stationed in a vessel on the water, and performed various nation a l airs during dinner. The embarkation, witnessed by an immense concourse of spectators, was accomplishedmost satisfactorily, and the effect upon the water particularly interesting, every object being clearly see n b y the aid of blue lights from the tavern. Immediately upon his Royal Highness stepping on board, the Lightning got under w a y, am id st the cheers of the multitude,. and was expected t o reac h Ostend by nine the following morning, ABRIDGMENT or HOURS or BuslNEsB.—The most respectable booksellers, grocers, chemists, milliners, and other shopkeepers, excepting provision and refreshment shops, have commenced now to open at seven in the morning, and close their doors at eight every evening, excepting Saturday night ; then one hour later. Ar rangements are also being made to close at seven o'clock in the months of November, December, January, and February. SKELETON or A MAK FOUND.—One day last week, some men were digging earth up for the purpose of making cellars adjoining Mr. Burgess's house in Wisbech, when at the depth of between two and three feet they dis covered the skeleton of a man: the scull and teeth were perfect. It is supposed to have lain in the position in which it was found for a long period, and at present is a mystery who the person was, and the reason for de positing human remains in such an unusual place. The site on which the skeleton was found was that of a very old house, lately pulled down: a new one is now building them—Cambridge Chronicle, LITERATURE. POEMS. By E. B. Barrett. 2 Vac Moron, London, 1844, In the course of a modest and gracefully-written preface to these volumes of poems, Miss Barrett re marks :—" If it must be said of me that I have con tributed immemorablo verses to the many rejected by the age, it cannot at least be said that I hare done so in a light and irresponsible spirit. Poetry has been as serious a thing to me as life itself, and life has been a very serious thing ; there has been no playing at skittles for me in either. I never mistook pleasure for the final course of poetry, nor leisure for the hour of the poet." There are abundant proofs throughout these volumes that the authoress has regarded the efforts of the fancy and the feeling in no light or su perficial spirit ; but has brought to the task of poetical composition, thought, earnestness, anxious solicitude, and a high and ennobling sense of the importance of the work she is engaged on. In her principal poem, however, headed a "Drama of Exile"—fine as some passages in it undoubtedly are—we think that she has formed rather too ambitious an estimate of her imaginative powers, and essayed a flight beyond her capacity. The region in which her genius expatiates to the greatest advantage is certainly not the sub lime ; she sustains herself in that lofty sphere with evident difficulty; and toils and strains to make her position good, in a manner that must convince even the most partial reader that she is far less at home on the summit, than on the lower slopes, cf Parnassus. Her proper place is with the Landons, and the He manses, and not with the Byrons or the Words worths. The objection we have just urged applies solely to Miss Barrett's ambitious " Drama of Exile.," in her other poems, where she adopts an humbler tone, nothing can be more decided than her success. Her pathos, in particular, is exquisite; and cold must be the heart, and limited the understanding, that can peruse, untouched, the " Lost Bower"—a poem conceived in the most genuine' imaginative spirit, full of the purest and profoundest sentiment, and pervaded by a vein of thought that has surprised, not less than it has delighted us. We prefer, how ever, quoting, as being more suitable to our li m it s, a shorter poem, entitled " Catarina to Camoens, Dying in his Absence abroad, and referring to the Poem in which he had recorded the sweetness of her Eyes :" On the door you will not enter, I have gazed too long—adieu! Hope withdraws her peradvt - nture— Death is near me,—and not you I Come, 0 lover, Close and cover These poor eyes, ycu called, I wee; " Sweetest eyes, were ever seen." When I heard you sing that burden In my vernal days and bowers, Other praises disregarding, I but hearkened that of yi.mrs,— Only saying, In heart-playing, " Blessed eyes mine eyes have been, If the sweetest, uis have seen!" But all changeth! At this vesper, Cold the sun shines down the door! Ifyou stood there, would you whisper " Love, I love you," as before, — Death pervading Now, and shading Eyes you sang of, that yestreen, As the sweetest, ever seen? Yes! I think, were you beside them, Near the bed I die upon,— Though their beauty you denied them, As you stood there, looking down, You would truly Call them duly, For the love's sake found therein,— " Sweetest eyes, were ever seen." And if you looked down upon them, And if they looked up to you, All the light which has forgone them Would be gathered back anew! They would truly Be as duly Love-transformed to Beauty's sheen,— " Sweetest eyes, were ever seen." But, ah me! you only see me In your thoughts of loving man, Smiling soft perhaps and dreamy Through the wavings of my fan, — And unweeting Go repeating, In your reverie serene, " Sweetest eyes, were ever seen." While my spirit leans and reaches From my body, still and pale, Fain to hear what tender speech is In your love, to help my bale—. 0 my poet, Come and show it! Come, of latest love, to glean " Sweetest eyes, were ever seen." 0 my poet, 0 my prophet, W hen you praised their sweetness so, Did you think, in singing of it, That it might be near to go? had you fancies From their .glances, That the grave would quickly screen, " Sweetest eyes, were ever seen?" No reply! The fountain's warble In the court-yard sounds alone! As the water to the marble So my heart falls with a moan, From love-sighing To this dying ! Death forerunneth Love, to wic " Sweetest eyes, were ever seen." Will you come? when I'm departed Where all sweetnesses are hid— When thy voice, my tender-hearted, Will not lift up either lid. Cry, 0 lover, Love is over! Cr' beneath the cypress green— " Sweetest eyes, were ever seen." When the angelus is ringing, Near the convent will you walk, And recal the choral singing Which brought angels down our talk? Spirit-shriven I viewed Heaven, Till you smiled—" Is earth unclean, Sweetest eyes, were ever seen?"-- When beneath the palace-lattice, You ride slow as you have done, And you see a face there—that is Not the old familiar one, — Will you oftly Murmur softly, " Here, ye watched me morn and e'en, Sweetest eyes, were ever seen." When the palace ladies sitting Round your gittern, shall have said, " Poet, sing those verses, written For the lady who is dead," — Will you tremble, Yet dissemble, — Or sing hoarse, with tears between, " Sweetest eyes, were ever seen?" Sweetest eyes! How sweet in flowings, The repeated cadence is! Though you sang a hundred poems, Still the best one would be this. I can hear it 'Twist my spirit And the earth-noise, intervene— " Sweetest eyes, were ever seen!" But the priest waits for the preying, And the choir are on their knees, — And the soul must pass away in Strains more solemn high than these! Miserere For the weary— Oh, no longer for Catrine, " Sweetest eyes, were ever seen!' THE FIRST DAY or SlloOTlNG.—September is here, and after being kept upon the half-cock for a of the campaign, dayt by the Sunday occupying the custo mary opening campaign, the band of sportsmen yesterday morning marched forth to commence their skirmishing with the c oveys. The harvest this year is pretty well in, allow ing a fair range for their barrels, and a free course for their rambles ; and the partridges which are now legitimate " food for powder," are in fair plenty, so that game bags are not likely to return half empty, or old friendships be divested of their cus tomary annual brace. Fears were at one period ex pressed that the long drought would make a scarcity of birds : the young ones, it was said, instead of dying boldly in the open autumn fields, were basely perishing in furrows and ditches, for lack of the teetotal fluid ; but this has turned out partly a false prophecy, and a writer in the Sporting Magazine says:— " I rejoice to say that the reports both written and verbal which I have received give promise of an unusu ally good season. The weather during the hatching month has been all that we could desire ; a year more fa vourable to the partridge shooter was scarcely ever known; and I greaty err if the year 1844 will not deserve a notch in the sportsman's calendar. In the low meadow lands some few nests have fallen before the scythe of the mower, but the bulletins from all parts of the country , assure me that the coveys are numerous as well as large." 1 Of a verity, then, our friends of the trigger, with this de lightful weather, have a good prospect before them; end we hope to be able in our review of the works to give avoury report of their proceedings.—Essex Herald.

Mr. O'Connell said in his address from the balcony on Saturday evening, that they were not done with the Clontarf meeting yet, and, with the blessing of God, THAT THEY WOULD HAVE IT ON THE BTH OF NEXT MONTH. GREAT EXCITEMENT IN DUBLIN. DUBLIN, FRIDAY NIGHT.—The burst of popular enthusiasm and joy that issued forth was the most heartfelt and boisterous display of the gladness of the Irish heart that ever was heard within the city of Dublin. Mr. Purdon, at the request of Mr. O'Connell, ad dressed the crowd outside the gaol, and requested them to disperse quietly, which they did. Soon after dark tar barrels were set on fire at Irishtown and Ringsend, amid the rejoicings of the peasantry. At Rathfarnham and Roundtown the cottages were illuminated, and as the news spread the fires became more frequent. A bonfire was also lighted in Roper's Rest, round which the inhabitants —men, women, and children—danced with genuine Irish animation. With the rapidity of lightning the intelligence of the judgment traversed all parts of the city—con temporaneously with the proceedings of Burgh-quay, large bodies of the citizens had...congregated in the neighbourhood of the Liberator's residence, Merrion square, anxious to give vent to the feelings of grate ful joy which actuated all classes. Here, too, the cheering was most enthusiastic—each man seemed determined to outvie his neighbour in demonstrations of attachment to their " deliverer and friend"—and here, too, the vast multitudes, after a short time, quietly dispersed. From Merrion-square to Stephen's-green, and through Grafton-street, the same enthusiasm was observable. At every corner placards were posted announcing the reversal of the judgment; and at every corner the popular joy was embodied in loud and hearty cheers. What we have stated in reference to the other localities is applicable to Dame-street. Several men paraded the street, bearing on their shoulders placards similar to those already described. The cheering of the populace here lost nothing of the vigour which marked it on Burgh-quay. A new feature was given to the national rejoicing in Capel-street. The majority of the houses were brilliantly illuminated. In Mary-street, Bolton street, North King-street, &c., illumination was also general, nor was there an absence of the other indi cations of triumph in these places. In Sackville-street the fervour of the people's gratitude was most signally marked; the street was lined at either side with immense crowds, who occa sionally allowed their feelings to hays.vent in enthu siastic acclamations. The neighbourhood of the General Post-office, particularly, was rendered almost impassable ; and the departure of the Irish mails, being the medium through which the news of the liberation was to be conveyed to all corners of the land, was attended with loud cheering. In a word, the state of feeling above described is applicable to all parts of the city ; the same enthusiasm was every where observable, and the same desire to testify public gratitude was evinced by all. Nor was it the least attractive in the general jubilee that the splendid bells of St. Paul's Roman Catholic church, on Arran quay, rang out a merry peal, the first time since the incarceration, on the occasion. The illumination was very general. The houses in Britain-street, Denmark-street, Moore-street, and that entire neighbourhood, were lighted up ; Domi nick-street, too, was partially illuminated ; but amongst the houses in this street which exhibited their rejoicings none was more conspicuous than that of the Duke of Leinster. In the Duke's residence every window, every pane of glass, bore an indica tion of national triumph. A meeting was held in the Conciliation Hall, at eight o'clock. The llall was almost instantaneously filled with Repealers, and it is utterly impossible to convey even the most faint idea of the ardent joy and enthusiasm that pervaded the vast assemblage that congregated within its walls. W. Satin' O'BRIEN, Esq., M.P., entered the Hall about half-past nine o'clock, and was received with loud cheers and waving of hats and handkerchiefs, which continued without intermission for several minutes. He addressed the meeting at some length, telling them that it was intended to have a large pro cession to accompany the State traversers from the prison, but that, as the traversers were not disposed to accept even the semblance of a favour from the present Government, they would not leave for their residences until a formal communication had first been made that they were at liberty so to do. As this order could not be received until late on Friday evening, they had thought it better to remain in prison, unless they were forcibly expelled from it, until Sa turday morning. It was then announced that the windows belonging to Mr. Murphy, a Liberal town councillor, had just been broken. Mr. D. O'CoNNELL, jun., said he had some news from the prison, from which he had just come, and that he had to proclaim to them, in the words of his father, "that this was the first triumph that Ireland ever had over England." It was then arranged that there should not be any public illuminations. The Liberator himself received the intelligence of the reversal of the judgment with the utmost com posure. It must have come upon him unexpectedly, but he was not surprised. The same calmness and col lectedness—the same self-reliance which have ever characterised him in great conjunctures, were never more thoroughly his own than on this, the most stu pendous epoch of his eventful life. He was thought ful and unexcited—perfectly imbued with the as tounding importance of the event; but while his heart beat responsively to the triumph he had obtained, it was for Ireland s victory, not O'Connell's. The re versal of the judgment O'Connell recognised as the commencement of the fortunes of Ireland. He at once pronounced it to be THE GREATEST TRIUMPH WHICH IRELAND EVER HAD GAINED 114 HER CONSTI TUTIONAL CONTROVERSIES WITH ENGLAND. But with a prophetic and forecasting mind he foresaw that it was also the forerunner of other and more crowning triumphs. As to the effect of the decision upon the public mind there has as yet been too little time for it to operate upon the repeal question. Only one journal in the repeal interest has been published since the receipt of the cheering intelligence—it is the Free man's Journal, which is the property of Dr. Gray, one of the " martyrs," and from it we may form a pretty good guess as to the way in which the recent proceedings in the Lords are viewed by the Irish population. The Freeman, by the way, has altered its motto over the leading articles. The reluctant admission that dropped from Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst, and which he has attempted to withdraw, is exchanged for the following trium phant vindication of the trial by jury, which has issued from the lips of Lord Denman If such practices as have taken place in the present instance in Ireland shall continue, the trial by jury will become a mockery, a delusion, and a snare. " The Freeman says—" We have got justice by ac cident, for by accident only were the Cottenhams, the Campbells, and the high-minded Denmans con stituted a majority over the Lyndhursts and the Broughams. Right and justice were overwhelmed at every previous stage by prejudice, bigotry, and alienage of views; only at the last moment, when their cause seemed utterly desolate and hopeless, right and justice are saved, as by a miracle, and their enemies covered with discomfiture. Nay, even at that last moment they encountered a life-struggle that well nigh proved a death-struggle. The Tory lay Lords, who had not heard the ease—and if they had heard, had not the knowledge to judge of it— ' rose, in the very passion of bigotry, to outvote the law Lords ; and would have done so on the spot, had not Lord Wharncliffe, from very shame, arisen, and, in the name of the Ministry who had fathered the frauds,' entreated them to forbear, and deprecated the I disgrace with which they were about to cover England's last court of judicial appeal. "We have no doubt but the English papers, for I this decision, will make a claim upon our gratitude, and demand acknowledgments of the unswerving rectitude of English feeling. We make no such ac knowledgments. 'Twas English feeling that de prived the judgment of the whole English bench, so that they could devise us no remedy for the admitted wrong of a 'fraudulent jury.' As to thanks, both the English and we owe great thanks to Providence —we, that having sutTered the one-third of a sentence fraudulently procured, we are, by happy accident and narrow escape, rescued from tile remainder—they, that their country is saved the infamy of a decision, which judicial judgment, depraved by excess of IN HONOUR OF THE LIBERATION OF NR.
