The present number opens with a continuation of Albert Smith's romance; " The Marchioness of Brinvilliers," in which we have the conclusion of the Pe at Versailles, and an admirable description of the residence and doings of the poisoners Lachaus:ee and Exili, in the - Rue de l'flirondelle, the Rookery of ancient, as it is of modern Paris. " The Gaol Chap lain" contributes another dark page from the history of life," and the " Middle-aged Man" gives us some plea sant reminiscences of Allan Cunningham. We have, from the " Irish Whiskey Drinker," a pleasant "Gar land of May Flowers," culled from the parterres of the poets, ancient and modern, mixed with sundry choice originals. It is a choice bouquet. There is a thoroughly German tale from the pets of Mrs. Romer, entitled " St. Silvester's Eve," and a most Boz like sketch by Alfred Crow•quill, entitled "The Lodging house." " The altered Man," is the history of a hunting, shooting, dog-fancying, savage, who h by matrimony transformed into a polka-learning, opera-frequenting, novel-reading, tame, domestic ani mal. The tale is admirably told by Paul Prender gast, who is the very Ovid of modern metamorphoses. The first of a series of sketches of " Ennobled Actresses," from the pen of Mrs. Mathews, is given in the present Number. It is a biography of the Duchess of Bolton—the far-famed Miss Fenton, the original Polly of the Beggar's Opera. There is a great deal of pleasant reading in the June Number of Bentley. TAI7"S MAGAZINE. The review of Lord Brougham's " Lives of Men of Letters and Science," is done in the best spirit, and reflects great credit on the impartial principles on which this magazine is conducted. Though the Whigs, and many of the Liberals have taken every opportunity, following in the wake of men that belong; to no party, of reviling and calumniating the ex chancellor—Tait, more staunch to liberal principles than most of them, still can do justice to the tran-, , scendent merits, and the great abilities of Henry Brougham. lie has rendered essential services to his country, which neither jealousy nor hatred, nor the baneful tooth of bigotry, can efface from a nation's re membrance, and it is ^ therefore gratifying to find an. .honest jOurnalist, though differing from his lordship in many respects, doing him as ample and hearty justice as he would render to one of bis own creed. We take a paragraph from the review at random, which is a fair specimen of the whole. " Apart from that remarkable union of qualifica tions, the• possession of which will, we imagine, be frankly and even liberally acknowledged, Lord Brougham, in this his greatest, if it be not also his most beneficial work, is distinguished, in an eminent degree, by one quality for which he has not always ob tained the credit which we think it deserves. Some Of. those who remember him only by the sallies or effer- . vescence of a warm debate, or in the temporary ebullition of that party speech in types a hasty political pamphlet, will be slow to admit the air of calm dignity and judge . like impartiality which pervades every poition Of this volume. As is right and fitting, justice is administered with mercy and indulgence, without which justice cannot deserve the name. The sole exception to this principle, as far as we have noted, is found in Dr. Samuel John con ; whn, arraigned at the tribunal of Lord Brougham, is not allowed to plead prescriptive impunity for the rudeness which, in a man less privileged, would have been pronounced brutality ; or for the hard dogmatism which, without any great straining, might be set down as furious bigotry and imbecile fanaticism. In the strong nature of the English sage, by prescriptive right, there un • doubtedly was a large intermixture of the animal as well as of the bigot ; yet it somehow jars one's feelings to hear this said, though by the voice of truth and authority; and one is content on this, as on much more important points in morals and manners, to acknowledge that Lord Brougham has shot far a head of some of the darling prejudices ollis age." The remarks of the writer, with extracts, extend to nineteen pages, yet the reader will regret that they do not extend to twice that number. We have also some interesting letters from the historian Niebuhr, relative to Nelson's attack on Copenhagen, at which he was present, and a good article on the Bill of Mr. Rutherford, for abolishing academical tests in the Scottish universities. "An act," says the writer, "of some moral courage unquettionably ; for the General Assembly of the Established Church still protests that the phantom of obsolete bigotry is no shadow, but real flesh and blood, and the ghosts which Churchmen raise are stronger than stone- walls and granite mount tains, :in the estimation of many, and not to be blasphemed with impunity." The political article refers to Sir R. Peel's Irish policy, which is written in the best spirit. We have only room for an extract relative to the Maynoot.h affair : " Whatever faults this measure may bo chargeable with, in principle or detail, it has at least one great practicable merit it forcibly rouses the attention of the British people to the necessity of doing justice to Ireland. Interpreted by the language of its proposers and more prominent supporters, this Maynooth Endowment Bill may be regarded as a formal disclaimer, made on the highest authority—that of the united deliberate judg ment of our leading public men of all parties—of the old maxims and methods of Anglo-Irish policy. It is a de claration that the old ascendancy system, always false and immoral, 14 henceforth impossible ; that the great mass of the people of Ireland—the " lower Irish nation," as they have been called—ean no longer be held in con strained subjection to the " upper Irish nation," or to Great Britain, but mist be governed in the spirit of equality ' • that we must have an united kingdom, and can only hope to have it by conciliation ; and that all sectional antipathies and bigotries, whatever Dame or form they may take, must give way to this high imperial necessity. We need not remark how much additional emphasis this declaration receives from the painful and humbling retractations which it necessitated on the side of one party, and the political risks and sacrifices which it has cost all parties. That must indeed be a conviction of overpowering force wh!ch induces the leaders of op posite Parliamentary parties to make common cause against large numbers of their supporters and followers. That Sir Robert Peel has voluntarily subjected himself a second time to the reproach of treachery and apostacy ; that Lord John Russell has zealously seconded the policy of his rival, at the expense of much of his own popularity ; that both these statesmen have united to carry a measure which seriously damages the political position and prospects of each, may be taken as indis putable evidence of the strength of the convictions that have actuated them. All the lesser interests which usually govern the political conduct of Parliamentary leaders have given way to the primary interest that every statesman has in the integrity and greatness of the empire whose Government he is, or may be called to administer."

The revolution in the Tory camp, the amalgamation of Conservative and Whig politics, the " organised hypocrisy," the abolition of tests in the Scotch universities, Maynooth, the Irish Acade mies' Bill, Tara, and Meath, and the Martyrs' Levee, are all eschewed al dangerous ground, and his labours are devoted to poetry, the novel and the drama, specimens of British critics, painting, aesthetics of dress, and similar subjects of disquisition, calculated to humanize and d,-light the mind, and also fit out the corporeal frame ac cording to the most approved principles, not of Brum.mell and Stultz, and the artist styled, in the days of yore, the " first gentleman of Europe," but of some secret divinity, unknown to the Mite!' Romans and the half-clad Greeks, who is to he racked immediately after Urania, and classified as the tenth Muse under the title of Esthetic.. She has been long wanted. Chesterfield expended much time and labour in personifying her, and if wz - e. are to believe him sincere in his long and minute admoni tions to his son, preferred this newly-discovered and, in his age, nameless deity, to all the elegant and learned nine. This is one of the most important discoveries of the age. Urania, and Pallas, and Juno, and the planets yet to be brought to light by Rosse's gigantic telescope, must be ranked as the most insignificant discoveries, when compared with a deity who has countless millions of votaries, and a shrine in every palace and every cottage ; who is worshipped by the young and the old, by man and woman, by the sage and the peasant, by human beings, nay, brute beings of every genus and species ; whose sway is omnipo tent, and whose dominion has no bounds. The oracular injunctions of a deity so powerful must be listened to, believed and obeyed by all, and our readers will therefore thank us for furnishing them with the very last ordonnance issu ed from the divine shrine as recorded by Maga, the priestess of modern Athens : 7 -- " Whether you be male or female, do not wear mach jewelry—beware of being taken for one of the swell-nob and the douhtfuls ; but if you are alady, and wish for jewel lery in the evening, choose between pearls and diamonds; better have a few of these and good, than whole caskets of topazes and amethysts. If you are a gentleman wear only two rings—one for your lady-love, the other for your armorial bearings—if you have a gold chain to your watch, keep it, but the less you show of it the better. Avoid a foolish custom now springing up, of fastening the coat with a couple of supplementary buttons, attached by a metallic link. This is the trick of some scoundrel tailor, who sent home a coat too small for the wearer, and thus persuaded him (he must have been an ass) to tie two buttons together, and so make both ends meet. It will da very well for a commercial gent., but not for a gentleman. We need hardly say, be not fine on a Sunday : dress plainer then than usual, if you would maintain your dignity • a nd be not ashamed of an old coat—only let it be Clean, portez-le biers, soyez Bien gant6, hien cola et vous n'aurez jamais fair d'un bourgeois. Above all things, whether you be a man, woman, or child, remember that the more you approxi mate to uniformity of colour foe the whole of your dress the better, whether you prefer white to black, blue to green, or brown to red, no matter. Stick to the law of aesthetic unity—retain natural and undisguised contour, breadth and mellowness of colour, ease and dignity of movement, and you will approximate to perfection. We turn to another subject, one little less interest ing, a true and correct, and elegant description of the youth, manhood, and death of the greatest of generals, the immortal Hannibal. Speaking seriously, the subject is treated in the very best style. The language is suited to the noble theme , and the won derful skill, resources, energy, patriotism, bravery, and military talents of the man who swore before the altars of his gods eternal enmity to. Rome, are all depicted with a glowing fervour, a truth of de lineation, and a generous overflowing spirit of en thusiastic admiration which would make even the most callous reader join in the lofty eulogium, that " Hannibal was at once the Burke, the Pitt, and the Wellington of his country." We can find room for only the . introduction to the article which, Short as it is, will confirm our opinion : " Two thousand one hundred years ago, a boy was born at Carthage, whose name and exploits have ren dered his country immortal. His character stands forth with unparalleled lustre even from the bright pages of ancient story. It is hard to say whether he was greater as a patriot, a statesreant or a general. Invincible in determination, inexhaustible in resources, fertile in stra tagem, patient of fatigue, cautious in council, bold in action, he possessed also that singleness of purpose, that unity of object, which more than all is the foundation of great achievements. Love of his country was his one and ruling principle. Hatred of its enemies his lasting and indelible passion. To these objects he dev.ned throughout life his great capacity : for this he lived, for this he died. From the time that he swore hatred to the Romans, w hile yet a boy, on the altars of Carthage, be never ceased to watch their de signs, to contend with their forces, to resist their ambition. Alone of all his countrymen he mea sured the extent of the danger with which his father land was threatened by the p ro g ress of their power. Alone he stood forth with the . stren g th of a giant to combat it.' But for the shameful desertion of his vic torious army, by the jealousy of the rival faction at Carthage, he would have crushed the power of the legions, and given to Carthage , not Rome, the em p ire of the world. As it was, he brought them to the brink of ruin, and achieved triumphs over their armies greater than all other nations put together. After he was over thrown, it was comparatively an easy task to conquer the world. For this ha received in life exile, disgrace, and death: for this he has since obtained immortality. At his name the heart of the patriot has thrilled through every subsequent age. To illustrate his virtues, genius and learning have striven in every succeeding country; and the greatest praise which the world can yet bestow on warriors is to compare them to Hannibal." This number concludes " North's Specimens of the British Critics," which have been extended to a sufficient length, and contains some melancholy " Stanzas, by B. Simmons, to the memory of Thomas Hood." We give the three first and the last—the others being chiefly descriptive of works published by Hood : " Take back into thy bosom, Earth, This joyous, May-eyed morrow, The gentlest child that ever Mirth Gave to be rear'd by Sorrow. 'Tis hard—while rays half-green, half-gold, Through vernal bowers are burning, And streams their diamond-mirrors hold To summer's face returning— To say, We're thankful that His sleep Shall never more be lighter, In whose sweet-tongued companionship Stream, bower, and beam grew brighter ! " But all the more intensely true His soul gave out each feature Of elemental Love—each hue And grace of golden Nature, The deeper still beneath it all Lurk'd the keen jags of Anguish ; The more the laurels clasp'd his brow, Their poison made it languish. Seem'd it that like the Nightingale Of his own mournful singing, The tenderer would his song prevail While most the thorn was stinging. " So never to the Desert-worn Did fount bring freshness deeper, Than that his placid rest this morn Has brought the shrouded sleeper. That rest may lap his weary head Where charnels choke the city, Or where, mid woodlands, by his hod The wren shall wake its ditty: But near or far, while evening's star Is dear to hearts regretting, Around that spot admiring Thought Shall hover unforgetting. "How fierce contrasts the city's roar With thy new-conquered Quiet! This stunning hell of wheels that pour With princes t) their riot, — Loud clash the crowds—the very clouds With thunder-noise are shaken, While pale, and mute, and cold, afar Thou Pest, men-forsaken. Life reeks on, nor reeks that One frlle piayfgh human-hearted-- Who lent its play less taarlhiness, I* just from earth departed," COLBURN'S NE IV MONTHLY. This number opens with a humorous poem from the pen of our old friend Thomas Ingoldsby. It re fers to a period of history when " You are all aware that On our throne there once sat - A very great King, who'd an Angevin hat With a greit sprig of broom, which he wore as a badge in it, Named from that circu mstance, Henry Plantagenet." The heroes of this tale are the two brothers of Bir chington, the 0112 a pious monk, the other a *martvais sujet, to whom it appears we arp indebted for the Re culvers. The author begs we will think of thpse bro thers whenever we pass that way— " And while o'er the wavy yea fuel the craft pitch hard, Pray for the souls of Robert and Itichax4." The " gtapple-chaser " is an amusing tale, with a very tragical end, intended as a warning for the ad venturous. " Literary and familiar Reminiscences of Thomas Campbell," contains many anecdotes of the great poet, written by one who knew him well. Among other things we have an account of his lite rary partialities and antipathies, fad also some exam ples of his kindly benevolence , " Lights?, glades" proceeds with unabated interest, and the $' Robertses on their Travels" is as entertaining as ever. "A Peep into the Royal Academy" contains a rather se- Imre criticism on the exhibition. " Costume of the Court of Gecp. II." is by Miss Strickland, and re lates to the, at present, all engrossing falibjeat, not of the character and opinions of our ancestors, but of their modes and fashions.

SIR-Dr. Curie has at :engili f. and leisure to reply to the extraordinary conduct ,of the jury and their Coroner, Mr. Waltley, on the case of the late Mr. Cord well ; his pamphlet is really deserving of further atten tion; it is neither long nor tedious, and it is written in good temper. lie does not condescend to be angry, even with the Coroner. It appears to be " a round, un varnished tale," in which nothing is extenuated, nor " aught set down in malice." All those who, from the misrepresntation of the TimeS' correspondent, may - have allowed their confidence to be shaken, will do well to real this clever book, and I, think, after doing so, they will arrive at tl.e "conclusion to which I have come— that the science of hoinceopathy must prog• ess against all the prejudice that has been industriously put forward by the medical profession. It needs only to be more gene :ally .known, . end when it is; I conscientiously believe our medical friends the Allopathists will be found in plentiful scarcity, and ealomel, blue pill, black draught, and bleedieg, will be placed for ever in the tomb of all the Capulets. FAIR PLAY. Dr. Curie's introductory remarks are as follow : A - few weeks back public attention was aroused by the report_ of an inquest on a Mr. Henry Cordwell, beaded " The Homoeopathic System : " beyond this heading there was nothing in the report which had any bearing whatever upon homoeopathy, since although the de ceased gentleman had • been under my care until the three or four days preceding his death, and had been treated by me according to the homoeopathic system, the propriety of that treatment was not in the slightest de gree called in question. Mr. Cordwell's case, however, was one of that class which call not only for medical treatment, but also for the exercise of the strictest care on the part of the professional adviser, with regard to dietic and hygeic rules ; and, the course which I had adopted in this latter respect having been brought out in evidence, the jury unanimously resolved that it was such as to awaken " the strongest feelings of indignation and disgust"—eXpressionS with which Mr. Wakley, the coroner, - himself a medical man, took occa sion emphatically to state his "cordial " concurrence. This being aimed at an homoeopathic practitioner, appeared, no doubt, to the enemies of hoinceopathy, amongst whom Mr. Wakley has long been most prominent, capable of being repre sented as a severe blow against that system ; and hence the wide use that has been made of it. No one, however, except through ignorance, could adort this view; because homceo ' ;Prelic Orrhe int& s tiat any other system of medicine independefit of any dietetic rules which its practitioners May - adopt. It•will thus be seen that the expressions of the jury must be regarded simply 'as directed against the dietetic rules which I presribed -in Mr. Cor6r_elt's case; and I think it `7 Wto light; refttini lay' that 4srn - Ile Wefilit4 tlie r nl,t c,'iri order litat , ll: judgfnent may be rained of their propriety.

I had never seen him before. He was of a nervous teniperanient, anxious and irritable. He stated that he had never knuwn sound health. After giving a detail of the various diseaSes under which Mr. C. had suffered, proceeds—during the long period of his ill-health he had placed himself under several practitioners, but he was unable to give details of their respective treatment. He re marked, however, that he had taken a great deal of medicine; and that, finding himse7f dai'g getting worse instead of better, he had recOurse to' hydropathy, from which, not finding the hoped-fbr relief, he came as a last resource to consult we with the view of being treated kinixqpathically. Dr. Cirrrie then goes fit great length into the history of his ,treatment of the case, and of the attack of hemor- rliage from the . bo - wels. It appNirs that the last day Dr. Curie saw his patient was on the, 2d of March, and the following is his history of the transactions of that day :- 2d March —This morning the patient was found in a much more satisfactory state. • As soon as I entered the room he said, " Doctor, I have not fainted since you left me." The pulse was stronger, about 74, and the face less pallid, denot ing 4 much better condition. He had slept a little during the night. The beef tea had not yet been given, on account of a little oozing of blood from the anus. Lachesis was to be continued at longer intervals. I or dered the patient to be cleaned without his being moved, and I recommended rest of the strictest kind, and that no visitor should disturb him. The beef tes was to be given as soon as the bleeding had entirely ceased. The patient aske 1 me what time I should return. I promised to see him in the course of the evening. When I again called, I found at the door a note informing me that the most intimate friends of the patient had taken upon themselves to call in other advice. Thus ended my attendance on the case, and I beard no more of it until I was informed by some friends that they had seen in the newspaper that Mr. Cordwell's death had taken place three or four days after my dismissal. To my surprise, however, on the evening of the 10th of March I received a summons to attend a Coroner's inquest in relation to it. • At the inquest, it appears that Mr. Wakley said there was no charge made against Dr. Curie by the medical men who had been examined, and therefore he should advise that gentle. man to be be silent. Dr. Curie said, "as no charge had Leen made, he certainly had no desire to trouble the Court with any remarks." The Doctor then continues—After this the jury delivered their verdict (involving certainly not a tangible charge, but a condemnation which co u ld on l y h ave b een f a i r l y put f or th if a charge had been made a n d prove d) w h en Mr. Wakley remarked, with considerable emphasis, "If I were a juror, I have no hesitation in saying that I should most cordially agree with the observations just read." From these venom it wiil be seen that the jury and Mr. Wakley, the medical coroner, did not enter into any inquiry regarding the circumstances which induced me to order the abstinence, but based their expressions of "indignation and disgust" solely on the fact that ten days' fast had been or dered. If these expressions had come merely from the jury (although the injustice of using theta against a practi. tioner without first asking him for an explanation must in any case have been apparent), they would not perhaps have I,e6n wondered at, because, to persons altogether ignorant of the details of medical science, ton days nat orally seem a serious period for any one to be kept without food ; but that a medical man should have fallen into the error o f su pp osin g this to be an unexampled and necessarily an un due abstinence canno t fail to excite the strongest feeling o f surprise. It is well known that abstinence fora magi longer perio,t is oft en essential. Andra', in Ins great work "La Clinique Medi cate," quotes a number of eases of fever in which the total a bstinence varied from a few days to se veral weeks. The Doctor then quotes a li st of well-authenticated cases, in Which total abstinenc e f rom nourishment had been enforced for a much longer period than it had been in the case of Mr. Cordwell, and in which the patients had recovered, in all probability, in consequence of such abstinence. lle thus concludes 7— These atallorliles would seem amply sufficient to justify a practitioner in enforcing strict abstinence in cases where it appears to his judgment to be necessary ; and notwithstanding the new authority arrayed ag ainst the m in the person of Mr , s h l f b , o l e f ; g Wakley, supported by an u n p rofession al jury , I believe they will still be received with de f er e nce , The Doctor then relates several oases of' abstinence, f p r e o a ra r s his to 4lwn • practice, in which the greatest benefit haveap • been derived from the practice. These theae d p well oii `The o w or thy the o andou c' w oases, as contribution s to the sciene a e tte t io m:d o i r c t i h ne e , p a r r o o are very a. is from his summing up of. Cie case:— .

But as regards Mr. Wakley, the case is very (Unmet. It will be observed froth the report of the 21foj-ning Post, that at the conclusion of the examination of the witnesses, Dr. Epps kindly suggested that I might be desir ous of explaining to the jury the reasonsby which my treat ment had been dictated ; that Mr. Waklev said in reply, that no charge had.been made against me, and that he advised me therefore to say nothing ; and that I then contented myself by observing that as no charge had boot made, I was, of course, perfectly satisfied. It will be seen that after this the jury came to their verdict with its condemnatory additien, and actually sent forth to the world their expression of indignation and disgust towards a person whom zo ch,oye had been mcAde,. and who in their presence had actually been led by, the judge on that account to believe, that all explanation or justifigatiou on his part was wholly unnecessary; and finally, that that very judge joined, " with. considerable emphasis," in the intem perate dennnciation. 11Ir. Wakley, therefore, may be held to have reasoned thus :—" There is no charge openly made against Dr. Curie, but the evidecce, to my mind, is sue" as to create, it' it be left without remark, a strong feeling of indignation and disgust, and which, I pre sume, will be shated by the jury. For reasons best known to myself, I desire that no attempt should be made to remove this impression, and alhough it is my duty both as a judge and as a man, to advise Dr. Curie to act as I would act my self if I knew such a feeling to exist against nie, namely, at once to offer a justification of my conduct, I will lead him to believe that we are perfectly satisfied, and that under such circumstances it would look as if he himself had misgivings, if he were to enter into any remarks All danger of explanation removed, I can then make my assault, and when Dr. Curie discovers the trap that has been laid, and attempts either by himself or his friend to protest against it, I can put him down by the authority of my office, and de • clare the Court to be closed." In conclusion, I would remind the public,, as an homceopa thie practitioner, that the dispute which now divides the medical world into lionuelpathists and Allopathists is hardly likely to be settled with advantage to the cause of.tauth, by referring it to the decision of either of the parties interested; and that, although it may be in the power of a partisan coroner to damage those of the opposite practice by summon ing inquests, not merely on all who die under their hands, but on all who after being under their hands may die under the treatment of their opponents, the real question st issue must remain to be decided by fairer means,—namely, by a comparison of the mortality occur ing in an equal number of cases of any given disorder under the homoeopathic and the allopathic treatment. The value of the dietetic doctrines of Mr. Wakley, in contradiction to my own and to those of the, authorities whom I have quoted, may be tested by simpler means. If those who are called to watch by the bed-side of persons suffering from inflammatory disorders, will observe the effects that usually follow the administration of food in the absence of appetite, and before the period of decided convalescence, and will communicate these observations to their friends, and, as far as practicable, to the public, all doubt upon the question will sceedily be removed. For my own part, I believe that, amidst all the consequences of injudicious treatment, there are none more fatal than those which arise from this cause; and, entertaining that belief and recognising that no earthly authority can absolve me . from my responsibility, faithfully to act up to it, my course will be calmly to meet all the opposition it may occa sion, and to trust to time for my justification. AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. The steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Ryrie, from Halifax and Boston, reached the Mersey at half-past one o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday. She brings lettcrs and papers up to the 16th inst. The news, although it contains nothing official as re gards the Oregon question, is, on the whole, of a pacific -character, and warrants the belief that the United States Government are friendly to the cultivation of peace, and that the President is anxious to settle the disputes be tween American and this country, without resorting to warlike operatilns. In that desire he is joined by the reasonabld'portion oT all clalies of his fellow citizens. It is said that Mr. Calhoun will ba sent over as a special ambassador to England to settle the Oregon question. Others assert that he has declined the office: The misunderstanding between Mexico and the United States was not settled, although the broach had not been widened. Privateers offered their services on be half of Mexico should they be wanted. Santa Anna's case has not been decided on, his libe ration was offered if he would submit to voluntary tran • sportation for ten years, an offer he will not be likely to refuse. The Montreal papers come down to a late date. They contain nothing of importance or interest. Canada was quiet, and the Provincial Parliament stood adjourned the 19,h of June. The annexation of Texas'occuptes a large portion of public attention in America. A.proclamation had been issued calling on the Texian Congress to assemble on the 101 of June to finally consider the question. There seems but little doubt that the Texans will accept the propositions of the Government of the United States and that the annt 'cation will take place at the next meeting of Congress in December. Repeal has got a damper in Baltimore. The re pealers there have dissolved their association, owing to the abusive tirades of Mr. O'Connell against the Ame ricans and their institutions. A great public horse race had taken place between two celebrated racers—one called Peytona, a southern horse, and Fashion, a mare from the south. Upwards of seventy thousand people went to witness the rational contest. Peytona was the winner. The following are extracts : (From the New York Express.) 44 In regard to the Oregon question, we are assured, by the official organ at Washington, that the President of the United States, so far from desiring to put an end to present negotia tions, is anxious that they should go on. We further under stand also that negotiations have been resumed by the present Secretary of State just where they were closed by Mr. Calhoun. " The cooler portion of the American people are very ready to admit that the settlement of this Oregon question is attended with great difficulty. They who know the least of the merits of the question are the most noisy in stating the only terms of settlement. We apprehend that whenever the question is settled at all, it must be done with a disposition on the part of both governments not to claim what is not their own, or, if unhappily disagreeing as to their own rights, to submit the question fairly to the judgment of persons or parties, Dowers or ministers, representing the true interests of those governments. Everything depends upon the spirit and temper of the negotiators. 6' We doubt not the desire for peace is as great among wise and patriotic men of England, as it is in the United States, among those who only would prefer war to dishonour. The best opinion here is that the question, with all its difficulties, may be amicably settled ; if not upon some new basis, still upon those before offered and declined."

On Sunday morning, shortly after one o'clock, a very de structive fire broke out in the lower part of the premises of Messrs. Robertson and Satchell, hatters, No. 158, Fenchurch s'reet. From inquiries made of Mr. Robertson, one of the partners, it appears that he was sleeping on the third floor, ar.d was awakened by the cracking of glass. He instantly got up, and upon opening his bed. room door, he was nearly suf focated by the issue of an immense cloud of smoke, and large sheets of flame up the staircase. He immediately shouted " Fire," and having succeeded in knocking at his partner's door, he made his retreat on to the roof of the building, where he was shortly afterwards joined by Mr. Satchell. After some difficulty they succeeded in making their escape from the building. Upon his recovering from the fright, Mr. Robert son informed the reporter that Mrs. Satchell and her child were missing. The parish engines, with:those of the brigade from Wat ling-street, Jeffrey-square, and Farringdon-street, were soon at the scene of conflagration. These were set to work under the superintendence of Mr. Braidwood. By that time, however, the flames bad obtained possession of the whole building —e v ery room being enveloped in the destructive clement; the flames at the same moment were breaking into the premises of Messrs. Varley and Chalcott, I:sfe, 511, Fen church-street. The firemen, seeing the great danger to which the adjoining property was exposad;at once set to work, and threw the Inter upon the premises of Messrs. Varley and Co. Whilst' so engaged they were alarmed by the sudden issue of II large sheet of flame from the third floor window pc Ale. Hrick man, packing-case and bedstead m.,,,ovifa.,:terer, No. 20, Lime street, almost at the rear c . ,f c 3 / 4 0 auove house. The Writ ^n land Engine, with Mr. Connorton, by this peTioA had arrived, and was followed by several other Ilrigades and the County Office engine. By a Anclieious arrangement on the part of the fiyerryn, w stop was almost immediately put to the ‘,1411.1t1 in that direction. The following is the substance of Mr. Braidwood's report of the damage done : Lime-street.—No. 21, Willis ' greengrocer, datnatzgO„ in . c ured in the Unio n ; 23, 24, and 25, M,c7;rs.

Long before the arrival of Mr. 13raidwood and his " brigade" the flames had attained a fearful ascendancy, and all hope was in vain that any property could be saved. The attention of the firemen was consequently directed more especially to the cooling of the party walls, with a view to prevent the crtmsion cf the flames. Meanwhile, Air. Satchell and his servant had effected their escape, leaving Mrs. Satchell and her child in bed. When the unfortunate lady became aware of her perilous position, she apprazed at the window; with the child in her arms, supplicating, not with her voice, for that was drowned in the tumult that prevailed, but by her gestures, for assistance. With a bravery that does them infinite credit, the fire men belonging to each corps strove, at the risk of their own lives, to save their suffering fellow -creature. It was, however, otherwise ordained, and the poor woman, suffocated by the smoke, and encircled by the flames, tittered her last shriek, fell down, and died. After striving until five o'clock, the fire men succeeded in subduing the flames so far as to enable them to reach with their ladders the second-floor window. Proper materials having been obtained, the firemen wrapped up the mutilated remains, and eoriveyed them to a b u ildi ng connecte d with St. ilionis church, where they will remain until an hives tiga:ion into the sad affair shall have been commenced by the Coroner. Lat,guage would fail to describc the frightful appearance pre sented by the bodies. That of Mrs. Satchell was literally a mass of cinder—every feature undistinguishable, the legs burnt off from the trunk. * The baby was equa lly disfigured. It was clasped in the parent's arms, the affection of the fond mother for her child being unsubdued ever: in the midst of the horrors of such a frightful death. THE LATE DUEL AT GOSPORT. GOSPORT, SUNDAY. 7 0n Friday evening, at nine o'clock, Mr. Liston, accompanied by Mr. Potter, arrived from London to con sult with Drs. Stewart, Mortimer, and Jenkins, upon the propriety of performing an operation on M-. Seton. A consultation took place at the Quebec Hotel; and the operation was resolved upon. The operation was to suppress the pulsation in a tumour which had formed within the last two days at the bottom of the abdomen in front, and which distressed the sufferer very much. All neces sary preparations having been made, Mr. Liston, attended by the ab,,ve medical gentlemen and Mr. Rundle, surgeon, of Gosport, commenced the operation, which consisted of taking up the ex ternal iliac artery. No sooner was the artery taken up than the throbbing sensation in the tumour ceased, and gave the patient much relief. The medical gentlemen are now in constaat attend ance. Everything has been done which human ski!! could accom plish to save the life of this unfortunate gentleman, but the hopes are slight. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ARCHES' COURI, May 31. The Dean of the Arches (Sir H. J. Fust) gave judgment in the cause promoted by certain articles exhibited against the Rev. John Jones, the vicar of Halesowen, near Birmingham, for having been guilty of fornication with certain females of bad character, and for having frequented houses of ill.fame. . The reverend defendant had children by his first wife, and they attended the national school, and, said the Learned Judge, it proved that the Reverend Mr. Jones did attend to his duties most property, but unfortunately there were other facts sufficiently proved to found a sentence against the Rev. Mr. Jones. Not only were the visits of this clergyman to a house of ill-fame to visit Miss Mary James, a loose character, fully proved, but he had been seen in public, laughing and talking to this woman. For the sake of the interest of public morality the Court felt itself bound to say that the articles exhibited against the Rev. J. Jones were fully proved. The Court could not shut its eyes to the fart that this intercourse had occurred. Therefore the Court must sentence the Rev. J. Jones to be deprived from doing duty, and from the receipts of the emoluments of the rectory, for a space of two years, and condemned in all the costs. The sentence is to be published in the church of Halesowea on the Bth of June in the ordinary course. STONE V. STONE. This case wai:again called . on for argument on the appeal from the Court below. A series of acts of adultery have been alleged against Mr. Stone, the wealthy banker, and a replication was made against Mrs. Stone for committing adultery with Lord Sussex Lennox (not denied on the part of the lady). The case excites much interest. The sentence in the Court below was adverse to Mrs. Stone. The arguments were not concluded at the rising of the Court, IRELAND. THE REPEAL DEMONSTRATION IN DUBLIN. DUBLIN, SATURDAY.—The demonstration of the 30th of May was in all respects the most effective and impressive one ever wit. nessed in Dublin. As a pageant, it beat the celebrated Donny brook meeting of 1843 all to nothing; and as a display of physical force, that is to say, as a congregation of human beings, it far sur. passed the Tara meeting of the' same year. The Young Ireland party—under whose auspices, at all events at whose suggestion, " the national levee" was held—are great masters of effect, and it is only doing them justice to say, that if they taxed all their in genuity "to render the anniversary worthy of the men and the oc casion," they succeeded admirably. The procession through the streets of the metropolis might be considered as a "monster meet ing," far surpassing any of those assemblages which preceded the State trials. The trades of Dublin, with the rural population for twenty miles around, marched in that procession, with flags and music, and with all the order and precision of well-drilled troops. There could not have been lesi than a quarter of a mil lion of persons in the streets, but not a single accident oc. cursed. There was not the slightest breach of the peace, and yet neither soldier nor mounted pOliceman appeared. But the proceedings at the levee in the Rotunda formed the most remarkable portion of the manifestation. There the deputations from the principal cities and towns of the provinces, headed by the mayors and other members of the municipalities, attended to deliver their addresses to Mr. O'Connell, congratulating him upon his vic tory, hailing him as the chosen leader of the people, and calling upon him to pursue his agitation fur repeal, which had already forced concessions, but which no extent of concession short of local legislation could put down, The deputations there assembled af forded decided evidence of the vast improvement amongst the middle classes produced by education during the last twenty years. They have improved in education, in wealth, in intelligence but it is manifest that discontent with the present system of British rule in Ireland has increased with at least equal steadiness. The assemblage in the Rotunda was a " monster meeting" of the middle classes of Ireland, represented by deputations, and they adopted and signed a declaration, pledging themselves, in terms the most em phatic, to seek unceasingly for a repeal of the legislative union, without any possible drawback or qualification. THE LEVEE AT THE ROTUNDO. The walls of the room were nearly covered with banners and flags, bearing significant inscriptions, such as " Remember the 30th of May"—"Repeal cannot be put down by Force"—" Grat tan, Flood"—" Denman, Cottenharn, and Campbell"—•• Union is strength"—" Charlemont and Grattan"—" Catholic, Protestant, And Presbyterian"—" Temperance, Perseverance, Peace, and Or der"—" 'B2, and No Surrender," &c. &c. The Pillar-roots, which adjoins the Round-room, was appropri. ated to the reception of the members of the various deputations, and the 'B2 Club. There were about 100 members of the Club present in uniform, and a great number of metropolitan and pro vincial Town Councillors and Town Commissioners, in their offi. cial costumes. Soon after twelve o'clock a meeting of the Club was called, Mau rice O'Connell, M.P., in the chair. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN then addressed the meeting and said—Sir, I have been appointed to request the meeting to take this opportu nity of placing upon record a declaration of the determination of this great nation to assert its right to self-government.—(Great cheering.) On no occasion could Ido so more properly than now, when standing in the presence of those who are virtually the repre sentatives of the Irish people.— (Hear, hear.) I feel assured, therefore, that there is ■o man in this room unprepared to re. cord the solemn pledge I am about to read:—" We, the under signed being convinced that good government and wise legislation can be permanently secured to the Irish people only through the instrumentality of an Irish legislature do hereby solemnly pledge ourselves to our country, and to each other, that we will never desist from seeking the repeal of the legislative union with Eng land by all peaceable, moral, and constitutional means until a Par liament be restored to Ireland." Mr. GRATTAN seconded the adoption of the address, of which the following is a copy:— " Illustrious Sir,—Distinguished Patriot,—We. the memb:rs of the 'B2 Club, offer you our respect and congratulation. The oc casion befits you and us. We are associated for Irish liberty, under a name derived from its most constitutional era, and this the anniversary of your unconstitutional imprisonment, for attempting pe..cefully to r:store the rights gained at that era. Ireland re sented your imprisonment as an audacious wrong—Europe stig matised it as oppressive —the law erased it as illegal. It was the temporary triumph of craft and force. You had preached order under misrule—you had preserved peace under sufferings now con fessed to be unequalled. You had sought, by the action •f opinion, the restoration of ancient liberties, and the relief of countless woes, and for this you were sent to prison. Fortunately the people ra. membered your lessons, or you must have been released by a speedier process than the Queen's writ ; but that justice, which was delayed long enough to prove your oppressers unrelenting, came at length, and you left your prison in triumph, to resume that vigorous and legal agitation for which you had been oppressed. That you may speedily end that agitation, is our best wish for you and for Ireland, as we know that come what may of force or fraud, you will not end it but in the restoration of an Irish Parliament as independent as that of the era whose name we bear," At half-past twelve o'clock Mr, O'Connell arrived at the Rotundo, and was received by the crowd assembled at the entrance gate with loud cheers and cries of " Long life to your Irish Majesty." The Hon. Gentleman, who wore the 'B2 Club uniform, soon afterwards entered the Round-room,and ascended the dais. All present stood until he took his seat, a band which was stationed in the gallery playing " St. Patrick's Day," The presentation of tho addresses then commenced; and the first was that of the Dublin Corporation, which was read by Alder. man Butler. Mr. O'CoNNEtt expressed regret that the airangemen.s made did not admit of his giving a separate reply to each address. He would answer all in one speech at the close of the day. The deputation then withdrew, and passed before Mr. O'Connel each member of it making a profound obeisance to the Hon. Gen. tleman, which he acknowledged in a similar manner. A large hour, number of the repeal members of the Town.Couneil attended this deputation in their cocked hats and robes, All the officers of the Corporation were likewise in attendance, bearing the insignia of their various offices. The address of the Repeal Association was next read by Mr. S. O'Brien. Mr. H. Grattan, and a numerous deputation, presented the ad dress of the 'B2 Club. Addresses were then presented by the Mayors and Corporations of Limerick, Waterford, Kilkenny, Clonmel, Sligo, and Drogheda ; from the Town Commissioners of Galway and Cashel; from the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Claremorris, Tuam, Wexford and Ennis; from the Town Commissioners Of Callan, Kells, &c. There were in all about 60 deputations in attendance. The presentation of the addresses did not terminate until three o'clock. Mr. O'CONNELL came forward to the front of the platform (ac companied by the other travesers in the late state prosecutions) to address the assemblage, and was received with loud cheers. When silence was observed, the Learned Gentleman said—Ladies and gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for the splendid manifestation of public feeling which you have displayed this day. It would be difficult for me to find words to convey the deep sensations that *PI my mind, when I consider the strange transactions which have taken place from the 30th of May, 1844, to this day—the 30th of May, 1845.—(Cheers.) The consideration of those circumstances fills my thoughts with delight and pride; but there is a higher thpu4ht w.hioh presses upon me that requires no eloquence to de scribe, and I see it now inscribed before me on one of our banners, Ireland will be a nation."—(Great applause.) As well might the Government Imagine that by stopping the motion of the clock, which is above that motto, they could check the mighty move- Meta which Is now going on in this country, and control the spirit and love of fatherland which is now aroused, as they could pre. vent by their late conduct the restoration of the Irish Parlia ment. Nothing can prevent it.—(Cheers) I ferent understanding between ail p a rtie s thi s day from is a d wh i a f ; existed thl (lal twelve months ; for upon the 30th of May, 1844, IN nay fellow.prisoners around me were, under an unjust sem. tence, confined in a prison.

Upon this day twelve me . ntlis we were surrounded by the pollee with drawn s , ,:,:9Nds ; and what, I may ask, were the use of these swozds Y For I think they would have been of very little use if V z :e. 4a4 the slightest intention of violating the law or creating a disturbance.—(Cheers,) Oh, little do they know the history of 114oca win, Cannot ponder on what makes brave men weep—men Who, if the; %Me Called on to prepare for battle-field in half an, corn nl;d their blood?—(Cries of "No, no.") No, my beloved friends, there mi3ht be' a sigh heaved at parting with some dear object of affec , tibn, but nothing more; and then their lives would be gladly sicri. ficed fur Queen and country. I and my friends struggled on— never &spired to hope when everything seemed hopeless, and I now feel proud at having been honoured by being sent to gaol for Ireland, my beloved country. I was one of the few men who suffered 100 days' unjust imprisonment, and for it will get repeal. What had they all witnessed I' Was it ascendancy? No, but de termination; for thcy had amongst the members of the various Corporations, and other public bodies which honoured him by their presence, Protestants as well as Catholics. Two Protestant mayors and two Catholic mayors had presented addresses to him. Such was the state of things, and could there he a doubt of utti. mate success? Therefore, I call on - the old to countenance cur exertions, and the sturdy and strong to second them, and r..11y with us until public opinion becomes so powerful that the English Legislature will no longer attempt to withhold from Irishmen what they have a right to—the repeal of the union—a Parliament In College-green. When the Learned Gentleman had concluded, deputations from the several trades of Dublin were presented to him. The proceedings having terminated, Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers retired from the reception-room, resumed their scats in their carriages, and joined the procession, which re-formed, and passed through SaAville-street, Grafton.strcet, Nassau-strect, and Clare-sti eet, to his house in Merrion.square. It wt.s at th.s time nearly five o'clock, and the scene along the line of march was parti_ cularly imposing, not merely from the immense masses of the people congregated together, but from the faultless regularity and decorum of the organised tens of thousands forming the procession. This is no exaggeration in point of numbers, for we have been assured by a gentleman who was a spectator at several of the vaunted " monster meetings," that the most formidable of them that he had witnessed was but as units to hundreds in comparison with this metropolitan demonstration. The orders to " halt" and " forward" were given by the City Marshal, Mr. Thomas Reynolds, and Mr. Thomas Steele respectively, and were as implicitly obeyed and with as much precision by the myriads under their command as though *they had undergone a twelve months' drill in the Phcenix.park. The torfrge reached its final destination in Merrion-square about half-past five o'clock, when Mr. O'Connell alighted from his ca•riage, entered his house, and addressed the assembly from the balcony. At half.past five o'clook the crowd withdrew, and before six o'clock the square was comparative:y tranquil. During the evening several of the repeat and temperance bands walked about the city, playing various airs, and followed by num.. bees of children shouting for O'Connell and repeal STOCK EXC. li ANGE-FRIDALY.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (FRO3i OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The week fraught with most importance to the sporting world is past, and the doubts nod fears of thousands are set tled, and allayed. I never recollect a mleting where horses, who had previously distinguished themselves by their per formances in public, cut so wretched a figure as they did last week. 1 shall now commence my summary of the proceedings. MONDAY.—The result of the Craven Stakes, as I told your readers, would materially operate on the Derby betting. Evenus's defeat at once affected—the position of the crack, while Para and Jinglepot improved in the estimation of their friends from the running of their respective trial horses— The Knight of the Whistle and Pagan. Evenus's defeat I attribute to his having been leading gallop for the crack. The Woodcote Stakes, as I anticipated, went to Lord George Bentmck with his slashing two-year-old Cherokee. WEDNESDAY.—For the Derby, on this day, thirty-one horses were brought to the post, and, according to the opinion of some of the best judges, a finer collection of nags were never seen. Until last Saturday I had really imagined that we should have had none of those disgraceful attempts to make favourites safe which have been invariably practised during the last few years. But I was mistaken : the auri sacra fames, in spite of the string, nt rules :of the Jockey Club, • and the severe but exemplary punishment inflicted on Sam Rogers, and his worthy, ,confederate, Mr. Braham, has induced others to tread in their steps. Should the alleged attempt to make Mr. Gully's horse safe be proved against the parties who are alleged to have been engaged in iti'they will of course re ceive the same punishment assigned to their predecessors in crime, and so be tabooed fur ever. It must have been a source of the most poignant regret to John Day, than whom a more respectable man does not exist, to find that a son of his, whom he had brought up with the most scrupulous care and attention, should, when he himself vas about to retire from a sphere in which his honesty and good conduct had caused him to be universally respected, so far from trying to follow his example, lend himself to the commission of the most atrocious fraud ever practised on the turf. lam truly glad that his poor grandmother was not alive, when so disgraceful an occurrence in her family took place. Really, the turf must be in a pretty state, when men are to be found to tempt sons of trainers to poison horses in their father's stables. I may as well here at once mention that The Libel, whom I selected to win this race, was made as safe as if he hail been boiled. Calloway, his jockey, asserted he was beaten 300 yards after he had started. On Friday he was tried with Salopian, and giving him 161 b, beat hint a quarter of a mile. In my letter of last week I wrote thus of ldas (who had been prophesied by those celebrated old established prophets., Messrs. Pegasus and Yates, as the winner):—" I consider him more adapted for the flat at Newmarket than a course like Epsom ; and I fancy that the hill, which has so often destroyed the hopes of the pride of Newmarket, will prevent Lord Stradbroke from enjoying the honour of possessing the winner of the Derby for 1845 " By a reference to the report of the race, it will be seen that he was beaten directly he came to the hill. Of Old England I merely remarked, that if he did not pass Weatherbit in the betting he would do so in the race. He did so, and with 18 to 1 against him, was only beaten a neck for the place I thought he would occupy, viz., the second. Of Forth's lot I spoke as follows :—" Mr. Forth, front bis great experience as a trainer, always has some horse in his lot well supported, and this year the public seem to think the best to be Doleful, but whether he is the real Simon Pure I am not prepared to say, as it is about as difficult a' ask to . discover what is going on in the Mitchel-grove Stable as it is to learn when the National Debt will be paid off. Many of my readers will, no doubt, recollect the Derby of 1840. The public and Mr. Forth (ostensibly) backed The Solace colt, while, in reality, all the veteran trainer's money was on the Little Wonder, who, to the wonder of every one but his backers, won easily." The hint as to a similar accident oc curring this year+ has been verified. In 1840 The Solace colt was, at starting, at 16 to 1, while 40 to 1 was laid against the Little Wonder. In 1845 Doleful stood at 18 to 1, and the Merry Monarch at 40 to 1. In each year the outsider won the race. I may as well say, that my assertion that his horses would be brought to the post in better condition than any others in the race, has been confirmed by those whose experience in such matters is unquestionable. Those who took my advice about Pantasa have net. been losers by it. Annandak's single performance in public was not suffi ciently good to justify my recommending his being supported even at the liberal odds offered against him. _ Wood Pigeon and hedger ran far better than might have been expected. Cabin-boy, most disgracefully rh:den by Buckle, did not cut the figure some of his opponents said he would. He is a tine horse, but troubled with that sad complaint " the slows?. The Black Prince looked more adapted for a charger for his namesake than a race-horse. Young Eclipse turned out as I suspected he would, viz., about as good as the much cried-up Jamal. On the whole the race has not been a bad one for the betters round, and I anticipate a quiet settling to-morrow. TnunsoAy.—We had a most capital race this afternoon for the Surrey Cup, won only on the post by Kitchener on Croton Oil, who was sent instead of Pug. The other races are not deserving of mention. I shall touch on the Oaks. and the settling for the two races, to-morrow, by which time I trust the Stewards of the Jockey Club will have pronounced such an opinion respecting the Old England affair as will enable me to treat of it in a manner the law of libel prevents my doing now.
