In conjunction with our friends, Messrs. Partin and Tur ner, we sued out a fiat, our respective debts not being of sufficient amount to enable us to do so solely ; but owing to some very culpable negligence in the office of the Mes senger under the fiat, where the usual advertisements for the Gazette is prepared, our names were most unneces sarily introduced in the advertisement, with the slight distinction o f P.C., i ntro d uce d to d enote " P et i ti oning Creditors," b u t i n a manner ca l cu l ate d to l ea d th e p u bli c to suppose that the fiat was against us also; and the usual abstract of the advertisement in some of the Morning Papers was calculated to create the same impression. An application was made this morning to Mr. Com missioner Goulburn, who most courteously expressed his regret at the error, and, by his public notice of the matter in court, did all in his power to correct it.—We are, Sir, your most obedient servants, HENRY MAYOR and CO. Anchor Wharf, Dec. 18, 1844. GAME-LAWS, AND THEIR ADMI NISTRATION IN SUSSEX. UCKFIELD BENCH OF MAGISTRATES. R. S. STREATFIELD, Esq., Chairman. A little farmer, named Cornwell, occupying about forty acres of land at Black Boys, was charged with snaring a hare, by a gentleman named Hughes, whose land adjoins Cornwell's. The fact of the hare being caught in a hare-snare being proved, Cornwell, in his defence, said that the produce of his land being greatly damaged by rabbits and hares, he admitted that he had set snares, as he believed he had a right to do on his own land, for rabbits ; and if the snare was a hare-snare, it was more than he knew, for he neither was nor wished to be a poacher, and certainly had no intention to use a hare-snare. When he went in the morning to look at what he thought his rabbit-snare, he was astonished to find a hare in it, and threw it down. Mr. Hughes and his game keeper were, however, on the other s id e o f t h e hedge, on Mr. Hughes's land, watching him, and the moment he threw the hare down they came over upon his (Cornwell's) land and took the hare away ; and he (Cornwell) now asked the Bench whether Mr. Hughes had any right to come on his land and take the hare away ? Mr. STREATYIELD—We don't sit here to give legal rdvice ? You had better ask Mr. Gell (the clerk) ; he Will only charge you Gs. Bd., or if in writing, only 21s. Mr. DONOVAN, jun., another magistrate, said he thought that Mr. Hughes had no more right to go on defendant's land than upon his (Mr. Donovan's.) Mr. STREATFIELD then told the defendant that, as the hare was on his own land, he was fined only 405., and costs 155., and that he must either pay the fine or go to gaol for two months. The defendant still delayed paying the fine, and expressed a desire to know if another person could legally seize a hare on his land; but Mr. Streatfield directed a policeman to remove him, upon which the defendant paid the fine. The circumstance has excited strong feelings in the neighbourhood, and the conduct and tone of the Chairman of the Uckfield Bench are freely commented upon.—Brighton Herald. HER MAJESTY'S STAG HOUNDS. .'We are requested to state that her Majesty's buckhounds will meet on Fri day next, at Salt-hill, at eleven o'clock. - After the usual loyal toasts, The MAYOR proposed " The Army and Navy." He spoke of the eminent services which had been ren dered in China by both branches of the service, and concluded by saying that they had done all that could have been hoped for from British soldiers and seamen, and that more could not have been expected. Colonel FALCONER briefly returned thanks on the part of the army, and observed that the approbation of their countrymen was the great stimulus and reward of military men.—(Cheers.) He bore testimony, on behalf of the army, to the great services rendered to this country by their distinguished guest, and spoke NN t h approval of the conduct of the British forces in China. Captain CRAIGIE, R.N., responded, on the part of the naval force. He also alluded to the eminent ser vices of Sir H. Pottinger, and said that British seamen ever looked forward to the approbation of their country, and particularly of the mercantile classes, who were the sheet anchor of the community, as the great reward for all their toils.—(Cheers.) The MAYOR then rose to propose the principal toast of the evening. After the cheering had sub sided, his Worship said—My Lords and Gentlemen, the toast which I am about to propose is one which, I am quite sure, will meet with the most cordial re ception.— (Cheers.) I should have been glad if the honour had fallen upon one more capable of doing justice to its merits. —(No, no.) Fortunately, how ever, in a company such as that by which I am sur rounded it requires no advocacy, it appeals at once to the affections and the gratitude of each individual for valuable public services. —(Renewed cheers.) Whether we contemplate the prejudices which had to be overcome, the difficulties to be encountered, or the great importance of the object to be achieved, we are alike indebted to the ability, zeal, and indefatigability There which th e y were overcome .—(L ou d app l ause .) There are few here, I am sure, who are not feelingly alive to the great importance of the trade with China.—(Loud cheers.) Many, to their cost, here, have felt the difficulties and prejudices with which that trade was for a long series of years surrounded, and all will hail with gratitude the man who has so greatly contributed to place it upon a firm and per manent basis.—(lmmense applause.) My Lords and Gentlemen, none will receive greater benefits from it than the British merchant. Our manufacturers will feel its powerful stimulus. The artisan will derive run snare in it, covantag,es.—f:TT ar , hear.) Its effects will be felt through every portion of the em pire.—(Cheers.) And I trust that even the great and moral people, who have been hitherto so adverse to intercourse with strangers, will obtain their full share in the benefits and blessings which are likely to follow from the labours of our distinguished guest.—(Tremendous cheers.) I therefore beg to propose " The health of the Right Hon. Sir Henry Pottinger"— (Cheers)—whose sagacious, enlightened, and successful policy, has opened a new world to British enterprise and capital.—(Cheers.) Sir H. POTTINGER, in rising to acknowledge the compliment, was greeted with renewed applause. When silence had been obtained, he said—Mr. Mayor, my Lords, and Gentlemen, in rising to offer my most sincere thanks for the manner in which you have been pleased to drink my health, it is with no affected diffidence that I tell you that I am incapable of ex plaining how truly I appreciate your kindness. It is, as his worship, the Mayor, has said, not kindness, but affection towards me. The manner in which I have been received in this great town to-day, and the tokens of regard and approbation I have received, are beyond all expression. There are some situations of extreme pleasure, which, at the same time, have certain portion of unpleasantness about them. This h is o e w xa th ct a l n y k n fo li , I p position. t infoor. the I h k n o n o o w u rn you t how to t o uh have e e you conferred upon nle. Ibu have asamongknowingyu ,I v s e s r • fenNoyt of you o a u s a stranger , p e rsonally, and here I meet you all, I may say, as a t certainly come brother and a friend. In speaking of my position, I must ask you all to recollect the circumstances in which I stand among my countrymen throughout England. I have been absent almost my whole life, and now I am come back to be received with honour, approbation, and applause. It is delightful to me in one sense, and yet painful in another ; delight ful, because what is more precious or dear to any man's heart than the approbation of his fellow-coun trymen ?—(Hear.) Painful, I repeat, because I can not tell you how truly and how highly I appreciate their kindness and approbation. With respect to my measures in China, I have already had such oppor tunities of speaking in public, that I think I need hardly trouble you regarding them.—(Yes, yes ; go on.)—l will, however, say, that when I was graciously selected by her Majesty to fulfil the duties of envoy to China, I went out with the firm determination, not of forcing any unpleasant treaty on the Chinese after the great objects of the war were accomplished by the force of her Majesty's arms, but rather to act as an umpire between the two nations.—(Hear, and cheers.) I had found those attached to the mission who cordially entered into my views, and I had the great happiness to meet with a corresponding feeling in the High Commissioner Ke-ying, than whom a more enlightened statesman I do not believe there is in any country in the world. A man feelingly alive to all the amenities of life, and more particularly so to that high feeling which dictated his conduct throughout this negotiation. I could, were it admissible in such a society, tell you of such instances of K e -yi ng ' s high feeling and noble conduct as would, I dare say, astonish you. I trust, at some future period, it will please her Majesty's Government to do him and the Chinese character generally justice, by making his dispatches and letters public. It would not astonish you only, but all the world, to find such sentiments existing in what we have been in the habit of think ing a self-secluded Chinese mandarin. One great point in the treaty I had the honour of concluding was, that the trade with China should be thrown open to all other nations. This, you must be aware, I could not have succeeded in bringing about without the cordial sanction and co-operation of the Chinese authorities. But the moment I explained to the High Commissioner the object I had in view, and pointed out the advantages it offered, not only to China but to all other nations, he most cordially acceded to it ; and before I left he entreated me, as the representative of England, in case of any unforeseen difficulty arising, to act as a mediator between China and any other European nation.—(Hear, hear.) This is a strong proof of the confidence I have won, and I trust I have won it not by succumbing in any way to any unjust demands (if such were made) of the Chinese, but by letting the Chinese see that there was only one rule for my conduct as an Englishman —true faith and good honour.—(Loud applause.) I believe the treaty so concluded to answer, as I had the pleasure of stating to-day at the meeting in the Town-hall, all the advantages that a treaty can possibly combine.— (Hear.) It has this peculiarity, that anything that benefits one nation with regard to it, must benefit the other. Such is my interpretation of the Chinese treaty. There are some trifling points, such, for in stance, as what I believe is called, in mercantile phraseology, the bonding system, for which, I. confess, I was afraid to stipulate, be cause I did not like to propose anything the Chinese would object to. I am happy to say, however, that after I left they not only cordially ac ceded to, but proposed it—(Hear)—and I have since learned that it is included in an article inserted in the treaty which I am also delighted to mention has been concluded between the United States and China. Our treaty provides for every advantage that may be given to any other nation being enjoyed by England. At the same time the Chinese made no objection to the proposal, and were quite ready to allow it tacity to be in full force. There is one other point to which I may be permitted to allud e b e f o r e s itti ng down. It it the treatment we are to show towards the Chinese. We must remember that they have been three or four thousand years, as we are led to understand, totally secluded within themselves ; that they do not under stand us ; that a mere treaty is not a sufficient ground for their at once changing their usages. But I am quite satisfied, from what I saw during my residence among them, that, if treated kindly by England and all other nations that may resort there, in due time, with God's blessing, they will enter as widely as any other nation into all our social feelings, and into that intercourse which is so desirable between man and man.—(Applause.) When I come to address this large body of merchants, in one of the greatest ports of the world—for such is Liverpool—l need not ask you to impress on those who repair to that distant land in charge of your ships and merchandise, to study kindness and forbearance towards the people.— (Hear.) It is the great, the first object we ought to have in view, that of conciliating the lower classes of the Chinese. To revert once more to my friend, Ke-ying. In one _s)f his beautiful letters, he says, " Our people aretitone to ill-treat those who are dis solute and inclined to excess. Your sailors, and par ticularly the black sailors (alluding to our Indian vessels), are apt to get drunk. Pray have this put a stop to, lest they go ashore and be ill-treated, and we thereby acquire a bad name."—(Applause.) When I tell you such is the feeling of one of the highest men in the empire—a blood relation to the Em peror and a first-class mandarin—you will not think I am travelling out of my way to beg that, when your ships leave the shores of England, you will impress on those on board how necessary it is to be kind and conciliatory to those whom we want, by degrees, to introduce into our social system.—(Hear, hear.) I believe that the prejudice which the Chinese entertain towards our intercourse, such as we look to between ourselves, and all other nations, proceeds not from any religious feeling. On the contrary, it proceeds from an appre hension that we will use that intercourse for political purposes. When that feeling is once got over, which will be in a few years, I trust, I have no doubt China will come forward, as she ought, as one of the first nations of the earth. The extent of trade in China is something that most persons, if it was stated to them, would deem incredible.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Especially in cotton and the manufactures of cotton, the demand will be unlimited. The only question is how China is to pay ? This is a matter which, in so large an empire, must rest on time. But, in the mean while, new resources will spring up, and the people will learn from our kind treatment and intercourse to have new demands. That such will be the result of our treaty I have not the least doubt.—(Cheers.) My Lords and Gentlemen, I fear I have detained you too long.—(No, no.) I entreat you, individually and collectively, to accept my warm, my grateful, my heartfelt thanks, for the manner in which you have received me in this great town, and for the honour you have done me in drinking my health.—(The Right Hon. Baronet sat - down amidst loud and prolonged applause.) Sir HENRY again rose and said—My Lords and . Gentlemen, with the permission of the worshipful the Chairman, I take the liberty to deviate in some small degree from the routine of the evening to propose a toast which I am sure you will all have great pleasure in drinking. It needs no remark on my part to re commend it. I feel it to be called for from me, be cause I have received in this town such tokens of re gard, affection, and respect, which it is impossible I can by any words convey my full sense to your minds. Without further preface I beg to propose " The health of the Mayor and Corporation of Liverpool." The CHAIRMAN thanked them for the compliment they had been pleased to pay him. The reception they had given to the toast was most gratifying, sad_ its value was greatly enhanced by the fact of its being r vo r „..a I, j ) He should feel himself exceedingly happy if he had been the means of adding, in the slightest degree, to that tribute of respect and esteem which was so justly due to that talanted individual, to be rejoiced in com mon with his fellow-townsmen in the opportunity of gratefully thanking him for his valuable services. The Mroa then proposed, in highly compli mentary terms, " Sir Hugh Gough, and the army connected with the Chinese expedition." Colonel MALCOLM, as the senior officer of the Chinese expedition, briefly returned thanks. In proposing the next toast, " Sir William Parker and the Navy connected with the Chinese expedition," his Worship said, if anything could add to the renown of the British navy, it would be the noble daring, the skill and seamanship displayed by those brave tars ill that expedition.—(Cheers.) They had never looked for less—they could not hope for more.—(Applause.) The MAYOR then gave " Her Majesty's Ministers," which was received with enthusiastic and protracted cheering. Lord STANLEY rose to reply. The Noble Lord was received with nine cheers, the whole company standing. His Lordship said—Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen, I need hardly say, after the unde servedly flattering reception with which you have met the proposal of this toast, and upon my own part, but more especially upon that of my colleagues, I thank you, gratefully and cordially, for the tribute of your esteem and approbation which you have given to those who are labouring at the head of her Majesty's Government in this country.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, it would be absurd to suppose that in a mixed assembly of this description, even if I had not very near an ocular proof to the contrary, that every individual present approved of every act of an Ad ministration, or even that there were not many who believed, that in many of their acts, this, as any other Administrations, had been misled. But I am sure of this, that in no society of Englishmen, whe ther friends or opponents, would such a reception have been given to the toast of her Majesty's Minis ters, unless, whatever your political opinions might be, you had entertained a conviction that the men who were so honourably placed, were men of inte grity and of honour—(Loud cheers) —labouring con— scientiously, earnestly, and diligently, towards the accomplishment of the great object of which all Mi nistries are constituted for the furtherance of the public weal, according to their understanding of that weal, be that understanding what it may—(Hear, hear)—and determined, in that object, in the pur suit of that great end, to spare neither private com fort, health, time, or any other consideration, in consideration with that which is their para mount, their public duty. (Great cheering.) Gentlemen, it affords me peculiar satisfaction upon this occasion to be the organ of returning the thanks of my colleagues, both because upon a former occa sion in the metropolis I was prevented from having the opportunity of joining in that tribute of praise which is so largely and so justly bestowed upon your distinguished guest of this evening, and prevented from beholding that which, to my eyes, is the most gratifying spectacle that can be beheld—men of all parties and of all persuasions joining in a just appre ciation of distinguished living merit— (Applause)— but because, in my official capacity, it fell to my lot doubly to have an opportunity of bearing witness to the distinguished services of the Right Hon. Gentle man whom you are met this day to honour.— (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, in my capacity as the War Minister of this country, it was my duty to superintend as well as to preside over the preparations of those great military and naval reinforcements, and of those munitions of war which, largely sent at the close of the year 1841, contributed some rather cogent and rather pointed arguments in support of the nego tiations of our friend.—(Hear, and applause.) It was consequently my lot to watch with deep interest, unchecked, however, by a single disappointment or a single failure, the progress of that expedition in which British and Indian troops, naval and military, vied with each other in a rivalry honourable alike to both —(Hear, hear) —surmounting obstacles which re quired not military skill, nor valour, nor science alone, but determination and perseverance to en counter ; and it was my lot also to know, and to watch the discretion with which the Right Hon. Gentleman near me exercised the high functions with which, even at that period, he was entrusted.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) I know not, Gentlemen, how far it is generally known that, though undoubtedly at that time to the Right Honourable Gentleman was not entrusted the superintendence of any military and naval movements, yet to him a large discretion was given by the Government, which fully confided in his talent and ability, of saying at what periods those naval and military arguments had attained to such a height as to lead to the introduction of more polished diplomatic intercourse, to say at what time the arms of Great Britain should be stayed, and how soon the process of negotiation might corn mence.—(Hear, hear.) And when that period ar rived, honourable alike to the arms of Britain and to the humanity and forbearance with which they were wielded, her Majesty's Government had but the gra tifying task, step by step, of applauding and approving the discretion, the temper, the judgment, and the for bearance, with which those delicate negotiations were subsequently conducted by the Right Hon. Gentle man.—(Loud cheers.) In that department the Right lion Gentleman was more particularly responsible to another member of her Majesty's Government; but I had the satisfaction, in another point of view. of being brought universally into connexion with the Right Hon. Gentleman. I saw his untiring labours, and his zealous assiduity in forming or finding a new colonial society—(Cheers)—in supervising the foun dation of a colony where all was new and strange — where obstacles were to be encountered from mutual prejudices, from ignorance of each other's habits, from omissions upon the one side and upon the other; from unreasonable demands and exorbitant expectations ; and I saw the Right lion. Gentleman with satisfaction, in his civil, as well as his diplomatic, correspondence, carry on " the even tenor of his way " with one fixed intention, and that boldly conceived and boldly exe cuted, of obtaining the greatest advantages consist ently with the honour and good faith of this country. —(Loud and general cheering.) Gentlemen, there is one point to which the Right Hon. Gentleman, in his address to you to-night, has peculiarly adverted, although he has modestly abstained from stating the full share which he had in it. I allude to that decision to which he came—and it is due to him I should say he came to it and acted upon it upon his own respon sibility, and without restriction—(Cheers)—not only to demand exclusive privileges (for that he was pro hibited from doing), but for inserting as a stipulation in the treaty that all other nations should alike par take of the commercial advantages which had been gained by this country by the power of the British arms, and by the prudence of British negotiation. —(lmmense approbation.) Gentlemen, it was not the good fortune of her Majesty's present Govern ment to select for this high office the distin guished gentleman who sits near me. That credit is justly due, and I concede it with all praise, to the Ad ministration which preceded us—(Cheers)—but I should be sorry to see the Administration in which public servants, engaged in distant hemispheres, and engaged together in the common service of their country, acted with less cordiality or co-operated less warmly either upon one side or the other for their common object, because they happen to be connected with, or appointed by, persons of different political persuasions.—(Hear, and much applause.) And, Gentlemen, I say it for myself, and I know I may say it also—for I have heard the sentiment repeated over and over again—for my Right Hon. Friend the Earl of Aberdeen, that it was to him and to me in our several departments, a subject of the deepest regret when Sir Henry Pottinger's earnest entreaties induced us—or rather, I should say, compelled us—to accede to a very strongly expressed desire of his, after so many years service in distant countries, to return to his na tive land, there to enjoy, in the midst of his country men, the well-earned honours which, I am proud to see, have been bestowed upon him; and I can use no more emphatic language— " To read his history in a nation's eyes." —(Cheers.) Gentlemen, if I might be forgiven for trespassing upon you for one moment longer, it would be to express my great satisfaction at the allusion which has been made by the Right Hon. Gentleman to-night, however little it may be needed in a society like that which I have the honour of addressing—the necessity of great caution and great prudence in our dealings with our new allies, those who are lately brought within the pale of civilisation in the vast Chinese empire.—(Hear.) When I speak of the pale of civilisation, I should rather say in the pale of European commerce and intercourse—(Hear, hear) —because I believe there is no nation in the world to which, as far as civilisation goes, greater injustice has been done in the public estimation than the great em pire of China.—(Hear, hear, and much applause.) But, Gentlemen, among those subjects which par ticularly struck the Chinese during the course of our warlike operations against them, and since, in our diplo matic intercourse with them, has been the strict, accurate, literal fulfilment, in the spirit as well as the Las— t.,-t-. we entered into with them.—(Cheers,) We have heard the :Ailnes. spoken of as a tricky, over-reaching people. That there are such among them—among the inferior dealers—l do not for a moment doubt; but I do dis believe that that is the general character of the nation. —(Hear and applause.) I believe, so far as our later experience has gone, that there is no nation which more highly values public faith in others ; and up to the present moment, I am bound to say that there never was a Government or a nation which more strictly and conscientiously adhered to the literal fulfilment of the engagements with which it has entered. —(Long and loud cheers.) Now, Gentlemen, it is not for the Government, it is for you—it is for the merchants of England—it is fur the great commercial body whose principal seat is in this town—to confirm, to maintain, and to strengthen their feelings of re spect for British faith.—(Loud and long-continued cheering.) The Government have done their part. The ports of China are open to you to an extent passing the most sanguine calculations; but, there are still, national prejudices ; there are still, national jealousies to be overcome; and it behoves those who are more immediately concerned in dealing with that great empire, not only in their dealings (for that I doubt not) to maintain their character for scrupulous honour and integrity which has ever been the dis tinguishing mark of the British merchant, but not, in the eagerness for the profit of those commercial advantages which are offered, to push beyond the limits which Chinese prejudice—if you say it is so— will yet permit those advantages which are now open to our commerce. The door is thrown open to you; rely upon it, it will be opened wider still ; but it must be opened by voluntary concessions from within, and not by what will be felt to be compulsory en croachments from without.—(Much cheering.) I venture, Gentleman, thus to follow up a hint which has been thrown out by the Right Hon. Gentleman this evening, because I feel that upon it much depends, and because many of those whom I am now address ing have in their power the means of doing much to wards accomplishing and towards increasing the great advantages which have already been gained for this country, and for which you have signified your loud approbation. I say, upon you, upon your influence, upon your efforts, upon your advice, upon your ex ample, it depends whether those advantages which have been opened shall be realised to their full ; and if to their full, I would say to an incalculable extent. I believe it is easy, on the present state of public feel ing, to raise jealousies, and to foster anew animosities which are beginning to subside—that an over anxious ness for success, and an improvident pressing for ad vantages, may lead to such a conclusion ; but I be lieve, also, Gentlemen, and I entertain a confident expectation of it, and I pray that such may be the result, whether under this or succeeding Administrap tions, for many a long year, that the trade with China which is now commencing, and in its vigorous infancy, may, if prudently conducted, be made the foundation, not of inordinate speculation and immense gains, fol lowed by corresponding and ruinous losses—but be made the means of extending the blessings of civi lisation, of science, of knowledge, of religion—(Hear, hear)—and along with them all, but only by a pru dent course of not shocking the prejudices of those with whom we are brought into contact—it may lay the foundations of a great, a permanent, and a rapid augmentation of British commerce.—(Cheers.) Gen tlemen, in the name of the Government, I thank you for the honour you have done us in drinking our healths, and in my own name, as well as in that of my colleagues, I can assure you that the approbation of our countrymen is the best reward for any sacrifice of personal comfort which we may be called upon to make in the service of our country. (The Noble Lord then resumed his seat amidst loud and long - continued cheering.) Other toasts followed, but these were the toasts and speeches of the evening, and about twelve the com pany broke up. The Marquis of Lansdowne has sustained some in jury in his foot, which is so severe as to prevent the Noble Marquis from quitting Bowood for the present. FATAL ACCIDENT IN THREADNEEDLE-STREET.— Tuesday evening, about half-past five o'clock, a van belong ing to a Mr. Maynard, carrier, of Barking, was proceed ng up Threadneedle-street, towards Bishopsgate-street, when the right hand wheel came in contact with a quan tity of paving stones. At the same moment a truck, drawn by a poor man, in the employ of Mr. Stevens, of finerva-street, Hackney-road, was passing the vehicle Mn the other side, and, in consequence of the wheel ?assing over the stones, the van was completely canted ever on to the unfortunate man, throwing out at the same time a lad, named Chalk, with much violence into the road, who was seated with the driver. On the cart Doing lifted up, the ill-fated man was found dreadfully nutilated about the head. Re was promptly removed In a stretcher, as also the lad, to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, but on arriving there he was found to have breathed his last. As regards the boy, it is sadly feared that he has sustained some serious internal hurt. The iriver of the van was immediately taken into custody by :he polioe, and will be examined this day before the Lord Sfsyor. The SECRETARY read a communication from Mr. Steele, the head pacificator, who had gene to Leitrim and Cavan for the purpose of putting down the system of Ribbonism, lately established in those counties :ender the name " Molly I%faguires." It was accompanied by an address from Mr. Steele which he had promulgated among the inhabitants of the disaffected districts. Mr. O'CoNNELL moved the most marked thanks of the association to his esteemed friend and companion in every struggle for the liberties of Ireland, Tom Steele, and also the insertion of his letter on the minutes. There was nothing more injurious to the best interests of Ire land, nothing more criminal, nothing more dangerous t'e those engaged in them, and nothing more useless than those secret societies. After some further remarks on the criminal and ruinous nature of these societies, Mr. O'Connell read an address, drawn up by Mr. Smith O'Brien, to the inhabitants of Leitrim and Cavan, calliese. upon them to withdraw from all ribbon societies, andi pointing out to them the dangerous and foolish nature of them. He (Mr. O'Connell) had no hesitation in saying that that was the very best written document he had ever perused, and it would have additional weight as not coming alone from the able and patriotic writer, but from that association. He begged to move the adoption of the address by the association, And that measures be imme diately taken for its extensive circulation through the disturbed districts.—Resolution e erried unanimously. Mr. O'CONNELL said he wished to offer a few observa tions on a subject rather personal to himself. On some late occasions he had felt obliged to notice attacks made upon hint by the Examiner newspaper. The number of the E.raminer which he had received that day repeated those attacks, and gave the terms in which he had se pudiated them ; but it did not put in his reservation., that he would not have used those terms if the English language afforded him any more abusive epithets to make use of. What he had to complain of most, in the last number of the Examiner, was, an anonymous atteek upon hire, which, front the circumstance of its being enc.- nymous, should he considered as having been adopted by the editor. It commenced in terms that certainly did/ not appear to have been borrowed from the Court Guide —(Laughter)----and proceeded as follows :—" Perhaps Mr. O'Connell is entitled to some indulgence, inasmuch as dribbling is more innocent than mendacity, and a man can hardly be said to violate truth by whom the mean ing of the word is mistaken." It then proceeded to quote some sentences from a speech of his delivored on a recent occasion in St. Miehan's parish against the Cha ritable Bequests Act, in which the writer misinterpreted his observations, and accused him of giving implicit obe dience to any decision that the Bishops of his Church might come to. He distinctly stated at the time that his obedience to the decision of the Catholic Bishops in council assembled applied only to spiritual matters. He submitted to the Bishops in religious matters, but never in temporal concerns, and so he distinctly stet& in the speech alluded to. Some contributions having been handed in, Mr. O'CONNELL again rose, and said he had to apolo gise for not being prepared with the report from the Committee on the ten propositions that he had referred to on the last day of meeting. He would, on the present occasion refer to but one of those propositions. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman then repeated the statement he had frequently made concerning the injus tice done to Ireland in respect to the National Debt. These fsets, he contended, had sunk deep in the Irish mind, though they were totally unattended to in Eng land. They had produced the monster meetings in 1843, the perseverance of 1844, and they would have their effect on the next great repeal year of 1845. The approaching: year ought to be one of high advantage to Ireland. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then referred to the pro gress repeal had made in the course of the past year. Ireland, he said, was the country in the world where hundreds of thousands—aye, where millions of people could assemble without even an accident taking place among them. There could not be a better proof of the superiority of Irishmen. Professor Forbes, the Scotch philosopher, and Professor Quintelet, in Belgium, had, by a series of experiments conducted for twelve years,. proved that the Irishman was the first among the nations of Europe for every physical capacity. Professor Kane, an Irishman, made ,similar experiments in London, and he proved that when the power of raising bur dens in an Irishman was 27, the highest number among any other people was but 25.—(Cheers.) He knew that the forthcoming report of the Landlord and Tenant Com mission would refer to the greater leniency of the land lords in the north of Ireland to their tenants. At the expiration of a lease in Ulster, the landlord came to an amicable arrangement with the existing tenant, instead of, as in other parts of the country, going about to try if they could get any other person to offer them more rent. That was the reason that no agragrian crimes were heard' of in the north, and he would remind those who attri buted the tranquillity there to the prevalence of the Pro testant persuasion, that there was a majority of 500,000 Catholics in Ulster over the other sects, and that they, ete well as the Protestants and Presbyterians, remained free from those crimes.—(llear, hear.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman pr , ceeded to say that they would hold but ta o meetings more of the Association in that year, but they should out) Mellee:lB4s as if they were then ohnaldr hitherrsill s- t l o ss il iz; ,t ir tic al f i u m v . epeal, and as if all they 1 8451 .yy as the !Tea! e 1, year for mnst, r met tiegs, e.vi for 1,. legal triumph, but 1845 should be marked by the weekly collection of the repeal rent. If it were to be but Is. or ld. in any locality, still it should be collected weekly. They solicited from no man more than ls. a year, or one farthing a week, vkith four weeks for nothing ; but if every man subscribed that sum they would hare 50,0001.,. and he would expect even 100,0001. at the end of the year. Mr. OVolinell concluded by moving that the repealers throughout Ireland be called upon to demon strate their perseverance in the repeal cause by sending in weekly contributions on and after the Ist of January, 1845. The motion was carried unanimously. After the disposal of some routine business, Mr. O'Connell announced the rent for the week to be 179/. 12s. 2d. THE LATE DREADFUL OCCUR RENCE AT CHATHAM. INQUEST ON THE BODIES. CHATHAM, MONDAY NIGHT.—On Monday an inquest was held before Mr. J. llinde, coroner, at the Waggon public-house, a short distance from the scene of the melancholy event (the particulars of which appeared in The Sun of yesterday), when the following evidence was adduced : John Chaplyn, bailiff to Mr. J. Oakley, of Darland, stated that the deceased Thomas Webb, was in the em ploy of Mr. Oakley, acting as . waggoner's third boy. John Stedman was else in Mr. Oakley's employ, and there was also another man who usually slept there, but was not there that night. The men had spoken several times to witness about the room being damp. On Saturday night Stedman left the house about eight o'clock, and the other two at nine, to go to bed. On the following morn ing, about seven o'clock, being told that they had not come into the yard, he went to the bedroom-door and lifted up the latch and called " George" several times. Not receiving any answer, he opened the door, and putting his hand behind it felt one of them lying there. He called again and shook him, and then procured a light and got a waggoner to go into the room with him, where he found them all three dead. He did not observe any particular smell in the room. He had been in Mr. Oak ley's employ 15 years. When the fire was lit in the room he stood ever it for some minutes. He did not think there was any danger in using the charcoal. Did not feel any inconvenience in breathing whilst standing over it. Amelia Chaplyn, wife of the last witness, corroborated her husband's evidence, and said she went into the room about half an hour after she had lit the fire, which was composed of wood, ashes, and charcoal, and it was burn ing up brightly. She remained in the room a short time, and did not shut the door. She had never heard before that charcoal would have any bad effects—had never seen any used before. The CORONER expressed a hope that it would be a lesson to her not to use charcoal again, and observed that it was her duty to have mentioned it to Mr. Oakley before she lit the fire, as the unfortunate circumstance would not then have happened. Thomas Bosely said that he and the three deceased had often asked the bailiff and his wife to light a fire in the ream. Mr. Benjamin Tribe, surgeon, of Chatham, stated that he was called up between seven and eight o'clock on Sunday morning to attend at Mr. Oakley's. On arriving there he was shown into the bedroom, where he found the bodies of the three men ; they were quite dead and their limbs stiff. He examined the bodies; there were no marks of violence on them. He inquired, and found char coal had 13, en burnt previous to theirlgoing to bed ; their deaths were caused by inhaling carbonic acid gas, arising from the burning of charcoal and causing suffocation. The ju., having heard the whole of the evidence, and the opinion of the Coroner that Chaplyn and his wife were entirely ignorant of the deleterious effects of char coal, returned a verdict of " Accidentally suffocated by charcoal being burnt in their bedroom. THE LATE DREADFUL ACCIDENT IT DRURY..LANIS THEATRE.—The assistant scene shifter, M'Carthy, who endeavoured to extinguish the flames of the dress of the late Miss Webster on Saturday night, is proceeding very rapidly towards recovery, although suffering greatly from his injuries. It has been stated that he was able to follow his employment, but such is not the case ; he to obliged to be dressed and undressed by his wife. THE LATE ACCIDENT IN ALDGATE.—Upon inquiry at the London Hospital on Tuesday afternoon ! it was stated that the poor fellow Goodman, the police-con stable, who was, in common with seven or eight other persons, knocked down at the corner of the Minories, opposite Aldgate Church, by a ho rse which ran away with a gig, recovered his senses in the early part of the night; and, although seriously injured, he is now in • fair way of recovery. Mr. W inckworth, . who was taken to the hospital at the same time,. still lies in a deplorable state, his left eye being nearly out out, and the whole of his system being much shattered by the violence of the shock. There were altogether eight persons more or lose injured; six were taken to the hospital, and two to the surgeries of gentlemen in the neighbourhood. Co o lunacyt ioissNo was r opened d c a r t . t — he On Swan nT e a s y d e a r y a commis sion n,Battemes before Mr. Winslow. The subject of the inquiry was Mr. John Smith, aged 68, a licensed victualler, for many years the proprietor of the Grapes Tavern, King-street Golden-square, but now residing in Calverstoke-plime Battersea. Evidence having been heard, the jury found that Mr. John Smith was of unsound mind, and had been • so since January, 1840. 1,01;:niof unexampled beauty. SlM fi c9„ l-T.
