BUITISII COLLEGE OF TIEALTIL Hamilton-place, New-road, London. THE HYGEIAN SYSTEM, as propounded by Mr. dOItISON, was fubmitted to the world upwards of 28 years ago. The extensive sale which the medicine (MORISON'S PILLS) commands in all civilized comminfities, notwithstanding all the interested opposition of the doctors, is undoubtedly the surest guarantee to the public of Its beneficial effects, and the truth of the Hygeian system. No Chemist or Druggist is authorised to sell Morison's Medicines. An Agent is to be found in every town throughout the kingdom, and most parts of the world. INVERNESS SHERIFF CRIMINAL COURT, Aug. 14. A MODERN LOCIIINVAR. In the month of February last. an incident, or series of incidents, occurred in the Hebrides, which excited considerable interest there and wherever the story spread. It was a romance of love—of love opposed by friends—of flight, pursuit, capture, and rescue—termi nating in marriage. Never was the old adage, " love 14tighs at _locksmiths," more singularly illustrated. In the course of the proceedings-, however, certain wild and lawless proceedings took place, for which the principal party concerned and two assistants were indicted before the Criminal Court. To-day was fixed for the trial, in a bich great interest seemed to be taken in the town. The trial was not concluded till a late hour, but the fol lowing is an abstract of the proceedings : Donald Macdonald, Baliloch, North Mit (son of Mr. Macdonald, Munkstadt); Donald Mackenzie, Munk stadt, Kilwuir, Skye; and Charles Mackinnon, fisherman, Munkstadt; were accused of invading the house of John Robertson Macdonald, Esq., Radii, Harris, commis sioner for the Earl of Dunmore, in company with a number cf others, some armed with sticks, when they burst open the door, assaulted Mr. and Mrs. Macdonald, and Mr. Macdonald's clerk and shepherd, the former to the effusion of his blood anti injury of his person—the inmrees having been by these proceedings put to great terror and alarm. Donald Macdonald was the only party who appeared, and he pleaded not guilty. Warrant was granted to apprehend the other parties charged. A jury was cm pannelled. A special defence was sot up by the pri soner, aid read to the Court and the jury, to the effect that the prisoner went to Roll for the accomplishment of a legal engagement; that be and the lady, now his wire, were separated against their mutual wishes; and that if noise took place on the occasion, it was not on account of the prisoner, but of those who opposed him. Donald Ferguson, servant with Mr. Kenneth Mecdo nald, of Skeabeast, uncle of the prisoner, went with -his master to Garnish, Urribost, on a Friday morning. Had heard that Donald had gone off with a daughter of Mr. Macdonald, of Balranald. They went to Uig next day, and the panel went for several of his father's servants. Donald Macleod, captain of a small vessel, the Eliza Macleoi, wai applied to to take them to Harris. It was so st amy that he would not go, and they got another boat ready to go to Harris "to get a wife for their waiter's son." It was so stormy that several went back to Munkstadt. They left the shore between eleven and twelve o'clock at night. Eleven or twelve were in the boat. He aed the panel were there. They got to the harbour of Radii, in Harris, about four in the morning. The house was close by. They went up to the grieve's house, and witness found out from the daughter that the la ly for whom they had come was sleeping in the bed-r• , om, and that Mrs. Macdonald slept with her. He told the panel, and the party went up to the house. 'rho door was partly open, and the panel went in. Wit ne.4 was standing at the porch, and the men round about, when Mr. Macdonald (Radii) came out of the house in his shirt and drawers, swearing at them as if he was mad, for coming to the house at that time of night to rob it. The Lewisman (Donald Mackenzie) answered teat they had come '• to get a wife f Munksi a it's son." Some of Radii's men slept in an out-house,. and he went in that direction. He was soon followed. by Kenneth Macdonald, his clerk, half dressed, and with- - -1 gdn'in his hand. He said if they did not go away he would shoot them, when Lewisman swore at him, and said, " it you don't be quiet—are you going to shoot me?" He then heard the clerk cry murder, but heard no blows, and the clerk retreated into the house. Lights were ap pearing and dirappeeriog, they heard the front door fastened from within, and the men, who were all out side, said among themselves, " that if they got Munk stadt's son out, they did not care whether they got the wife or no." The panel put his head out of the window, and cried, " Coma in my lads and take the trunks, we are ready to be off." They went towards the boats, and seeing Radii's gardener going as if to waken men, wit ness took him by the breast and held him there. The trunks were carried down, the lady followed last, and they set sail for Skye. There was some conversation in the beat about going to a place near Borrodale, and to remain there till night, if pursued.—[The point in volved in this last answer was not clearly brought out by the witness, as he stated, in answer to Mr. Stewart, that it was till the wind and sea would go down a little.] Cross•examined—Norman Macdonald, who was in the boat, was to be the bearer of a letter from the lady to her mother. When going to Harris there was no tale of violence. He beard no noise and saw ❑o violence what ever at Rodil, except what was made by Rodil himself and the clerk. There was no noise after the clerk went in. Mr. amald Macdonald ma le no noise in the house. The solo object of going to Harris was to get the lady, not to rob. He had before that heard that Mr. Cooper desired to marry the lady, and had gone to Munkstadt with pistols to' kill Munkatadt's son. He had heard that Mr. Cooper had asked the lady, and the lady refused him. lie (witness) had heard that the panel and lady had gone off before, but did not know where, and her uncle had taken her from him in spite'of her. When in the boat leaving Harris, the lady said she was very happy. William Macdonald, Fearn of Kilmuir, a sheriff's officer, was one of the party who went to Harris. They sailed from Tyrone to Rodil, a distance of about twenty miles. The party had sticks, in case same attempt might be made against them. It was dark when they arrived, about two in the morning. The panel and his uncle went into the house, teling the men to stand at the gat-. In ten minutes, Mr. amid (lame to the door, and told them he had been at the bedside, and the lady was getting ready to come out, and they were to stand at the door, us she might have some luggage. (The witness then corroborated the preceding evidence in a number of points.) When the clerk threatened to shoot them, the Lewisman gave him a blow on the head with his stick; Mackinnon, at the sa'ne time, took the gun from him, and the clerk, calling murder, went into the house. Some of the men then went i n t o th e house, and he beard them saying to Mr. Macdonald, that if he would allow the woman to go away peaceably there would be no di,terbance. He heard Mr. Donald Macdonald call out—" Come on, my lads, I am a prisoner in the house." The door was fastened, but they forced it open, and four men went up the !taxa to the bed-room, where there was some scuffling. Witness waskeepinc out of the way, not wishing Rudd to recognise him. M ac . leod brought down a trunk, and witness carried it t ) the boat, and on returning met them all coming out. Some of the party had hold of Rodil, some of them of the clerk, and some of the shepherd, and were brandishing their sticks over their heads. There was ten minutes' scuffling at the bottom of the stairs before they got out. They then set sail fur Sitj e, having been about two hours at Rodil. Cross examined—Mr. Macdonald told us when leav ing Skye to act peaceably and do no harm. Witness would not have gone if violence was to have been used. The panel told witness that the lady had been taken from him at Tsrbert against his and her will. There was no violence till the clerk came out and presente I the gun at one of the party. When they came down stair s scuffling, Ruda and his party were trying to keep the lady. H e h ear d M r . Donald Macdonald ceiling her his wife. Rodil sa id h e w i s h e d her to remain, so that he (Macdonald) m i g h t get her with consent of her father. Macdonald said he would not wait. He heard Rudil ask the lady whether she would rather go or re main, and she said she would rather go away. She did not appear sorry, but laughed and seemed hearty. She was now married. By Mr. MAcicEir—Donald Macdonald said in the boat they were to behave peaceably. They were not to do any harm to any who were to meet them, but they were to stand by Macd,nald and do their duty. They ex pected resistance, and wore prepared for it. By Sheriff CoLguatotix---I had a walking•stick, and I am still a sheriff's officer. Donald Macleod, master of the Eliza Macleod, said that when he was lying at Lochma ldy, on the 15th of February, the prisoner came on board with a lady, at four o'clock in the morning. He said they were going to Elinburgh to be married. Witness sailed at half past seven :or Tarbert, in Harris, and afterwards for Skye. They got to ITarbert in the forenoon, when some of the young lady's friends came on board, and they all went ashore together. There was no force. He lay in the harbour from Friday till We3nesday, and Macdonald was on shore all the time. Witness was afterwards applied to in Skye to go to Harris, but it was too stormy. Cross-examined—ll e had been to'd by Macdonald that he wai coining with a lady to Lichinadly. It was a great storm when they came, and he retu,ed t They were anxious to start, particularly the lady. She seemed txceedingly happy. At Loch Tarbert she spetn-d very sorry when tier ri lathes came, and clung to Mr. Mac lonal.i dot , rmined not to leave him. She said shu wou!d die soclp2r than part with him. He did not know what induced her to go at last. He did not see her leave the ves,el. It was true enough that there was the greatest unwillingness t. ) p art. Mr. John R. Macdonald, Rodil, brother of Bairanald, said that Mr. Cooper was appointed fictor for Lord Macdonald in 1849, aril Mr. Donald Macdonald was rent to North Uist that summer, as factor there. Mr. Macdonald was on visiting terms at Bslranald. On the day of the elopement, Balranald's son came to Rodil, and said his sister Jessie was amissing. They had reason to believe she was on board the Elias Macleod, and they went from Roll ti Tarbet, a dis tance of twenty-four . miles. Witness asked her to come away. She was crying and sobbing very much; and almost in hysterics. Sh e cou ld say not hing. They went on shore, Macdonald with them, and next day went to Rodil. Macdonald did not claim the lady as his wife then, and his niece never while at Rodil said she was married. She was kindly treated, and was not con fined. - On the Saturday of the rescue he was awoke by his wife, who was in a state of great alarm, and said that Macdonald. Mpnkstadt, bad come with a party of men to carry off Jessie. He sprang out of bed, went down and found Macdonald. JAW Macdoriald was dressing. Witness asked Macdonald how ho dared to break into the house. at that hour, and to enter that room. He said he would not go till he got his wife. Witness Laid there was no wife of his there, ordering him away, and took him by the collar; MacCnald said it was of no use, for he had a party at hand. He then went to the window, and cried, " Come on, my lads, come on all of you." It was dark, but he knew Macdonald's voice and features. He (witness) then ebserved that his wife had returned, and he then went out;locked the door, went to his own room, partly dressed, and on running down again liund three or four men at the bed-room door. He pretended he knew them, and when they went out he locked the main door, and was preparing to bar the windows, when he heard the clerk .cry " for God's sake let me in." He then went down, let the-clerk in, and bolted the door. The clerk's face was streaming with blood. He and the clerk and the shepherd then went to the bed-room, and he took hold of his niece, and told the others to remove Mac , donald. There was struggling for a minute or two, when the door was burst opal, and six or seven men came running up stairs brandishing their sticks, and swearing they would commit murder if opposed. H e saw there was no use in further opposing them, and certainly thought there was danger. He appealed to their better lesson, when Macdonald said, " Are you my wife, Jessie?" and she said " Yes." Macdonald then said that "is marriage enough when sa'd before you, a justice of the peace. Wi!ness said he would listen to no such nonsense. He of erwards made another attempt to retain her, holding her round the waist, but she was forced from him. Hi s wife and daughter, and governess were very much alarmed, and suffered for some time. Cross•examiued—Witness was an old friend: of the prisoner's father, and had known the panel from his childhood. He certainly bore an excellent and irre proachable character. He did not know, when at Tar hen, that the lady and he were engaged to each other in marriage, and his first idea was that Macdonald had carried her off from her father's house. In the bed-room at Hodil, when witness took hold of her, abe seemed as sorry to part with the panel as he was to leave her. Witness did not euppose that Macdonald had come for any other purpose than to carry her off. kennetti Micdonald, clerk, corroborated the preceding evidence, as did John Macdonald, the shepherd, who said he had received several blows from sticks. Mrs. Macdonald was also examined. She stated, in cross examination, that the lady did latterly appoar anxious to go away, when Mr. Macdonald told her that Mr. Cooper was expected at Rodil that day. She (wit ness) did not then understand that Mr. Cooper was a rival. By Ur. MACKAY—Her father hal never mentioned Mr. Cooper's name in her hearing. Shc herself told witness so. Miss Lindlei, governess at R)dil, Miss Christina Mary Macdonald, and Ann Macdonsild were next ex- amined, and corroborated preceding evidence. The prisoner's declaration was then read. It added nothing to the information except that, after escaping from Rodil, the party reached Gairloch, and from thence E.linburgb. This conclude.d the prosecutor's cast., when an excul patory evidence was led at length. Mr. li,,nneth Macdonald. uncle of the prisoner, knew the han,lwriting of Miss Jessie Msckdonale, and identi- tied as h •r's a le:ter handed to him, which he read to the iury "Thursday morning. My dearest Donald,—lf the lnarer of this letter meets you on your stay here, you must return home. It ,e..ms that W. Macneil suspects, or else has heard what we have been intending to do. As he hal no opportu nity of telling papa of it, he deputed John Macdonald to do so, which be did last night, and papa immediately wrote William t) find out all be knew of the matter. I heard this from the grieve's wife. John Macdonald told her husband of it. Now, my own Donald, we must be off this night. You had better not come till half post eleven o'clock. I sh a ll b e quite ready to start w i t h you."—The reading of the letter was followed by applause, which the sheriff suppressed. The witness stated that it was not the intention of the party to hay., gone to Harris that night until he heard Mr. Cooper and Mr. Macdonald were going di rect f rom Dunvegan to Rodil to claim the lady. It was their intention to be peaceable. There was no bar on the door at Rodil when they entered—it was simply latched, There was no disturbance till the lad appeared with the gun. Rodil swore at the people, and threa,•ened to shoot them from the windows. The lady, when she came to the boat, seemed perfectly plea,ed and happy. He knew that his nephew Donald had firmness of charac!er. He then read a very complimentary letter from Lord Macdonald, accompanying the appointment of the panel as factor in North Uist, addressed to the prisoner's father. By Mr. MACKAY-WitilOSS- said it was a common thing in Skye for one gentleman to enter another's house by the window. Was it common for gentlemen there to efriend's wif e ' s b edroom?— N o. H e a en, s as to s o o k m h e i s d isdt stick with hi tn, m a boat. even when he went into By Mr. STEWART —Witness never heard of it being usual in the Long Island for wives to leave their hus bands and sleep with young ladies. Ile understood Miss Jessie Macdonald to have been twenty-one years of age at that time. Mr. Cooper, Portree, commissioner for Lord Mac donald—Mr. Donald Macdonald was not factor for Lord Macdonald in North Ui.t or elsewhere. He was sent to North Uist till his Lordship should see what was to be done. He had no books. He (witness) could not call him by any name—there was no name at Aberdeen for such an appointment as the panel held. Witness was present when the panel's father carne to ask the appoint. ment. It was not recalled, and the fact was that Mac donald was unfit for the office. Balrtinald was asked by him (Mr. Cooper) to collect the trist rents fur 1849. Wit❑ess asked Donald Macdonald to copy a statement of certain things that took place, and he found it so mi serably spelled that he had to do it over again himself. Witness swore that the prisoner never was a factor to Lord Macdonald. (Shown his Lordship's letter of March, 1849) as follows: " Armdale Castle, Mar c h 15 , 1849. " Dear Munkstadt —This morning when You were in my room, I spoke to you about your son, and as k ed you why did not get him appointed as fact or to some' am . offer body, for with his talent I should imagine th at i f he were known to parties in want of an agent you could find no di ffi culty in procuring him such a situa tion. It has occurred to me that he wo u ld su i t now ffl a y cha N n o g r e th in U th i e st rn p u r n o a p i e 4e r m t y e ; nt an l d as l i Donald the appointment, and I know full well that if he accepts of it that my interests in that quarter will be well attended to; and in offering the Situation to your son, I do it from the conviction that he will serve me faithfully. , Will you send him over here, and I will talk over the matter with him—Believe me always yours most truly, " MACDONALD." It was no appointn3ent, and the panel never had any books. He (witness) recalled it in October. [Mr. Cooper then read the following letter:—] (Private.) "91, Princes-street, Edinburgh, Oct. 15, 1849. "Dear Sir,—l am desired by Lord Macdonald to ac qusint you that it is his Lordship's wish that I shall in tuture collect the rents of North Uit. As I am expected by his Lordship to re dele in Skye, you will easily per ceive that I can save his Lordship considerable outlay in the management of North Uist by undertaking t hi s charge; and I am sure you know tact the change, in as far as you are concerned, has been made by his L.rd ship for no other reason. " I am, dear sir, yours faithfully, ' PATRICK COOPER. "Donald Macdonald, E •q.. Baliloch, Loctimaddy." He was in North Ilis• in February. 1850. and was ac qtiaicted with Miss Jessie Macdonald. He had an at tachment to her, arid made a proposal of marriage to her. Miss Macdonald led him to believe that he might be successful. He could not say that she ever rejected him. She seemed to be in some considerable difficulty. He sail that if she had any objection to him he would not press his suit. The proposal was made out of doors, and Miss Macdonald's behaviour afterwards %ea, such as to induce him to remain at Balranald for a few days lon ger than he had intended. She did not tell him formally not to recur to the matter again—she seemed in great difficulty, and said she never expected the offer. As he saw the difficulty she was in, he said no more on the subject, except that she should not permit it to distress her. H e left the• following week i n consequence of an urgent letter from Portree; respecting the illness of a friend. When h e went to Lochmaddy he saw the vessel he engaged 'a good way off. He then left the island by the packet, with Balranald; they went to Portree, and on the Saturday following the day be left the island, they intended going to Stornoway. Balranald was then in search of his daughter, and he intended to accompany him as a friend wherever he would go. They lett either on Saturday night cr Sunday, and weiit to Shieldui e e He did not recollect engaging the ' , lease!, or telling the captain they were guin: in pursuit of Miss Sl:scdan•,ld. lle had thre • or four pair of piatole, and sent his servant to Corrybreek for a pair. [ ['he dri:t of a long examination, into which we cannot ecter, was to show that Mr. Cooper perse veringly pursued the fug:tives, on their first fli e ht, armed with pistols.] Mrs. Macdonald (Miss Jessie Macdonald) was then called, but the public prosecutor (Nei tad to her evidence being received, us she was the wile of the panel. Mr. Stewart replied that as much evidence had been a lduced as to what Mrs. Macd•mall hel said, he was anxious that the jury should havo it from liar own mouth. The court sustained the objection. Ronald Macdonald, servant to Donald Macdonald, as sisted at the elopement. He was told before leaving Baliloch what to do. He got the trucks outside the lodge. -The lady then came ont, and went With Mac donald arm in arm to the dog cart. They drove tandem, and witness rode the first horse.. The lady was very anxious to be off, and they went as fast as their horses could carry them.' " Were they lauhing?"—'' It's she that ins." There was no force required. It was a very bill morning, with lightning:end rain. Angus Maedistaid, policeman, lives near, Rodil, and was employed for nearly a week before this lady was taken away from Rodil to watch for fear she would be taken away. He was on the watch nightly till twelve o'clock. The Procurator Fiscal and Mr. Stewart then ad dresssed the jury, Sheriff Colquhoun summed up, and the jury retired at seven minutes to nine o'clock.' After an absence of ten minutes they returned, when their chancellor, Mr. Simon Fraser. Church-street, announced their verdict to be, by a majority, Not Guilty. The verdict was received with great applause. The court was crowded towards the close of the pro ceedings; and upon its breaking up, the crowd accom panied Mr. and Mrs. Macdonald to the house of the legal agent, Mr. C. Stewart, cheering them most heartily all the way.—lm;ereess Courier. DINNER TO WILLIAM KEOGH, ESQ., M.P. FOR ATHLONE. (Abridged from the Westmeath Independent.) This important event came off on Thursday even, ing last, in the Ball-room of Gray's Hotel, Athlone. The dinner was largely attended, and served up in the most excellent manner. Wines in profusion, and every delicacy which the season afforded. The room was tastefully and beautifully decorated with ever greens and flowers. At six o'clock the chair was taken by the Rev. J. R. Moffatt. On the right of the chair sat the guest of the even ing, William Keogh, Esq., M.P. ; and on the left Edward Luken, Esq., J.P. The vice-chair was filled by the Reif. Kieran Kilroe, P.P. of St. Mary's. The following letter of apology was read by the secretary, William Kelly, Esq. : " Knockbane, Galway, Aug. 1, 1850. " Sir,—l hope you will accept, and convey to the people of Athlone, the expression of my very sincere thanks for the compliment they have paid me, in invit ing me to be present on the occasion of their paying so well-deserved a tribute of respect to their most excel lent representative, Mr. Keogh. While I regret to say it will be entirely out of my power to avail myself of this mark of kindness, I am happy in being afforded an opportunity of expressing my gratitude for the able as si.tance and constant and energetic support I have al ways derived from your representative in carrying out those great practical improvements to which you hare so flstteringly alluded; and I consider that the untiring zeal and gnat ability he has brought to bear in intro ducing and promoting such measures—and many most useful and valuable amendments in the law—fully en title him, not alone to the high estimation in which he appears to be held by his constituents, but also to the respect and gratitude of the country generally. "I have the honour to remain, Sir, your very obedient servant, " A. O'FLAII E RTY. " W. Kelly, Esq.. Athlone." Dinner having been concluded, and the usual loyal toasts given, The CHAIRMAN next rose to propose the health of the guest of the evening—Mr. Keogh. He said he was one who early saw the fitness of Mr. Keogh, their present Member--(linear)—and in whose return he was instrumental.—(Cheers.) He spoke now to men who at that time opposed Mr. Keogh's return, but he was happy at se e i ng th em amongst t h e party hat had that evening as , embled to meet in good tellossship their representative.—(Cheers.) To them he would extend the right hand of friendship. Athlone had been long misrepresented by men who cared not for its welfare. They now had one of a far different stamp—one who had sacrificed personal gain to pro mote the interests of Athlone.—(Cheers) It afford.A him great satisfaction to propose the health of Mr. Keogh.—(Cheers.) They wanted honest men to re present them—independent men—and they had at last got an independent man, one who refused to side with the Minister when the welfare of Ireland was threat ened.—(Cheers.) If the grievances of Athlone were not heard of it was not Mr. Keogh's fault, but their own. It was for themselves to make known those grievances, and if they did so they had a representa tive able and willing to have those grievances re dressed. He hoped party was at an end, and that there was now no party but one, and that was—lre land. The Rev. Gentleman, after proposing Mr. Keogh's health, resumed his seat amidst unbounded applause. - The Hon. and Learned Member's health was re ceived with long and reiterated cheers. Silence being restored after an interval of some minutes, Mr. KHOGII presented himself when the same ap plause met him. He said—Although from my pro fessional avocations and the duties of the high posi tion to which your kindness has raised me, I must be considered accustomed to public speaking, yet I can didly confess that I fear to undertake the task of adequately thanking you. When I look around this splendid meeting collected from all sections of the people of Athlone, an assemblage not second to any which ever met before in the town, either in the number, respectability, or influence of those present, I feel that , the compliment is far beyond my merits.— (Cries of l" No, no.") My respected friend at the head of the table has kindly and touchingly alluded to the zealous and active part which he took in pro moting 14 election.—(Hear, hear.) I well remem• ber those exertions. It is now three years gone since I then stood before you to solicit your suffrages. Many amongst you, naturally enough, were slow to consider that I, an untried - man, was fit to become a representative of the people. All of you might en tertain apprehensions that a young man, and especially a young professional man, might be more anxious to advance hie own interests than to discharge with fide lity the sol emn duties which unquest i ona bl y d evolve upon a member of the House of Commons. Three years have gone by, and this overflowing meeting, this heart-stirring reception, as far surpassing my expectations as my deserts, is the best evidence that you have approved the course which I have taken in Parliament.—(Cheers.) I confess I am proud of the position which I stand this evening, and I have reason to be proud. I see beside me my valued and respected and reverend friend, backed by the same men who then by their"votes returned me to Parliament, as firm, as cordial, as generous in their support.—(Cheers.) But still prouder boast, I see in every part of this room those gentlemen who did then give me the most strenuous opposition. Yes, opposi tion I received, determined but manly, straightforward and frank. There was- everything of political, but I know from first to last there was no personal hostility. —(Cheers.) I . never experienced any from you, and on my own part, I can solemnly and sincerely declare that as no ;word ever escaped my lips which could be considered disrespectful to any of you, so I never en tertained the slightest to any one by reason of that opposition.—(Cheers.) Once I became your representative I knew no distinction. I considered it my duty to pay the most respectful attention to all your communications, and as the best evidence that I acted up to those intentions, I Aft here present the men who conscientiously opposed me, led by that en lightened, high-minded, and liberal clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Kilroe.—(Great cheering.) If it is grati fying tonne to see at the head of this table the digni fied and respected rector of this parish, how rejoiced must I feel by. finding at the other end of this room a clergyman of my own persuasion—(Hear, hear). — one who was before opposed to me, but whom I am now proud to be permitted to call nay friend.—(Loud cheers.) It is not, it cannot be to me, that this union of all parties is attributable. It springs from the de sire which is every day rising in the breasts of Irish men to forget angry distinctions, to join for the com mon good in one common bond of amity and friend ship. The records of past centuries have shown how we were divided and trampled on. I trust that brighter prospects are opening for us in the aroused sense and united will of all classes of the population. —(Cheers.) Speaking of the advantages of union, I am reminded of an illustration which lately occurred upon the question of the spirit duties. When that question was mooted in 1847 and 1848 the Irish Members were disunited and effected nothing. In this-year a change came " o'er 'the spirit of their dream," and how differently did they appear. The constituencies called upon their Members to support the just demands of the country upon that subject.— (Hear, hear.) A highly respectable gentleman of this town, Mr. Fallon, called upon me to act, adding that he did so although he felt he had no claim upon me, having been my opponent. I replied to him that I agreed with him in everything except that remark. I distinctly told him that his opposition I di I not. consider—he was my c,rnetitnent—he had every claim upon ice, and I supported the Spirit Bill upon two occasions, when wc succeeded by mrjoritiec in the teeth of the Government ; and we were only iiiiielately defeated by a majority of one, at a period when many Irish Members, like myself, were obliged to be absent at the assizes.—((heers.) That was the result of union—a result which will render it impossible to deny us justice on that question in the next session.—(Elear, hear.) Gentlemen, when I addressed you at the hustings 1 told you that I thought the great line of railway to connect your town with the Atlantic ought to be supported by imperial resources. I joined with others, as my ex cellent friend that patriotic representative, Mr. O'Flaherty, has by his letter testified, in pressing that question on the Government. I did more, I lent the aid of my professional experience towards obtain ing those clauses in the Railway Bill which have, I belive, enabled the company to obtain speedy posses sion of the land, and saved them, as persons connected with the company have admitted, in legal expenses, from fifteen to twenty thousand pounds—and now that railway is rapidly progressing. It will be com pleted to Ballinasloe before the next great fair in October, and at this moment it is giving employment to hundreds who would otherwise have been in a state of destitution.—(Cheers.) These and other questions of a local nature I have to the utmost of my power advanced. In the presence of our fair friends, who smile their sympathies upon us, it would be perhaps unpardonable to d well upon topics of gene ral politics.—(Cheers and laughter.) [Several ladies crowded the end of the room and passages to hear the Hon. Gentleman's address.] But even in the presence of the gentler sex, fur whose presence we are so much indebted, there are questions towhich I must allude before I resume my seat. I will not detain you with those legal reforms in which I am proud to say I took a part, although therefore I was in my absence, and on the grossest misrepresentation, soundly rated by some fervid and flaming orators of my own pro fession. Of course it was on public grounds. 'They had no personal interest at all.—(Laughter.) But I pass to still greater questions, and first of all that of free trade—the great question whether man, who has been ordained to eat bread " in the sweat of his brow," shall eat that bread taxed or untaxed.— (Cheers.) Upon that question you all know my sen timents. When I came before you at the hustings I let you all know there was no concealment at al! about it, that I was a most decided supporter of those free-trade measures which had been just then carried by that great statesman whose loss universal Europe deplores, and Ireland has reason to lament.—(Great cheering.) I then believed, and I still believe, that this great country was, by the timely carrying cf those free-trade measures, saved from those political convulsions which have swept Europe. I saw nothing in three years of famine to alter my opinions. Great as was the devastation caused by that famine, believe me, your'miseries would have been more deeply felt had there been in operation a code of laws, framed, I say, with the direct purpose of increasing arti ficially the ircomea of the higher classes at the expense of the toiling, struggling artisans in every gradation throughout this great community.— (Long-continued cheers) Have I any reason to change my opinion now? When coming along to this town on every side I saw unmistakable evidence of the existence of the blight upon the great crop of this country. May Divine Providence avert this crown ing calamity ; it would strike down the last hope of our people.—(hear, hear.) But if this, too, be in store fur our unhappy country, I ask who is the man daring, nay—l will use a stronger expression —auda cious enough to ask the Parliament of England to tax the food of the people ?—(lmmense cheering.) Protection indeed ! Protection to keep up rents which were created by war prices in those sanguinary conflicts which we maintained in Europe at the ex pense of those hundreds of millions of debt which are now pressing down the energies of the country.— (Cheers.) I say the first protection we shall all de mand is protection for the lives of the people. I value the life of a fellow -creature far more than all their incomes. I will first guard with a jealous eye the food of the millions ; and then if thc:re is to be protec tion let it be for the industry and the capital of the tenant, who will never improve the soil so long as the fruit of his exertions is not guaranteed by some legis lative enactment.—(Cheers) I say that God and nature intended that the soil should grow and increase in cultivation, and that the man who by his labour and in his capital increased the value of the soil should have a property in that increased value. That is the inalienable right of the tenant.—(Cheers.) That is tenant-right—(llear) —and that I unhesitat ingly promise you I will labour to obtain for him. Upon these topics we are all united.—(Loud cheers.) Let whatever party come into power, upon the ques tions of free trade and the rights of the tenant my opinions are unchanged and unchangeable.—(Cheers.) My Rev. Friend at the head of the table has alluded to the course I have taken in Parliament—acting in dependently either of Government or opposition. I have done so to the best of my ability. 1 have given my votes not as a slave to any patty, not at the back of any Minister. I have endeavoured to serve my country as my conscience and my judgment dictated —(Hear, and cheers)—end now I will refer to the Irish Franchise Bill. Upon that question you know the part I took, and I know it was approved of by you.—(Loud and continued cheering.) Is it not a monstrous anomaly that Ireland with her eight mil lions of population should be left trusting to twenty thousand electors ? lam satisfied there are not more, if so many, in Ireland. I have often been amused in the house of Commons listening to gentlemen com plaining of the paucity of electors in Australia or Esse quibo, or mayhap the valuable colony of Tobago What a pity that those possessions should not enjoy th' constitutional privileges of the franchise.—(Leughter.e But a k the same gentlemen to give a liberal fra-) chise to Ireland, and at once you find that, in their estimation at least, Irishmen are net half so fit to en joy the franchise as the inhabitant of Australia, To bago, or British Guiana.—(Laughter.) The men who remain at home are not so worthy as those who desert the country. The white Irishman is inferior to the swarthy inhabitant of Guiana. With those gen tlemen I do not agree, and I am for giving to my countrymen the same privileges in the franchise and in proportionate numbers that Englishmen enjoy. Any man who is content with Jess is not fit to be an Irish representative.—(Cheers.) Since I came to town I have heard intelligence which leads me to think that the Lords will pass the Bill as sent from the Commons.—(Cheers.) If they are wise they will do so. It is not all we are entitled to, but still it will give this country a large constituency.—(Hear, hear.) Now, have I sail a word calculated to disappoint or offend any of you ?—(Cries of "No," and " Go on.") I fear I have wearied you.—(No.) When I return to Parliament, encouraged by this meeting, by your warm friendship, by your enthusiastic greeting, for which from my inmost heart I thank you, I will pursue that course which has won your approbation. I will not follow any headlong leader or play the sycophant to any Minister. But when I think the Minister right, I shall give him a cordial support, just as readily as when I believe him wrong I should un hesitatingly oppose him. I have already often op posed-1 have frequently supported the Government. And upon a late occasion, when angry parties stood face to face, I did decline to join in censuring the Foreign Minister of this country.—( Hear, and cheers.) Great allowance in times of difficulty must be made fur public men, and for none more than those who have to adjust the foreign relations of this mighty empire. Look to the condition of Europe fur the last three years. In France, the ancient dynasty of the Bourbons swept away in all its branches, a republic of a most questionable character scarce established in their place. What capital is there which has not been stained with the gore of civil strife—the streets of Berlin and Vienna died in blood—the smiling plains of Italy, nay, even, the consecrated walls of home desecrated by desperate men rushing upon extreme courses.—(Cheers.) Were these ordi nary difficulties or common times ?—(Cries of " No no.") I own I felt the dangers from which we had escaped. I heard the accusation, I listened to the vindication of the eminent man who wielded in such a crisis the destinies of England, and in my conscience I believed, and by my vote I declared that, whilst in the most trying times he saved us from the agonies of war, he preserved inviolate abroad the honour, inte grity, and character of the British name and nation. —(Loud and continued cheers.) In conclusion, tie lion. Gentleman said that if he had made omissions in his duty to his constituents, they were errors of the head, not of the heart. lie told them on the hus tings that he would make any sacrifice, personal or professional, to promote the interests of Athlone. He would not steak of any pro'essional sacrifices, but o thing he did not sacrifice, and that was their, and his own, independence.—(Loud cheers.) He begged to tender his overflowing thanks to all present, and to th e b r i g h t eyes and smil i ng f aces b e f ore him he offered the tribute of his admiring gratitude.—(This compliment on the part of the lion. Gentleman was loudly applauded.) Mr. Keogh then proposed WEEK DAYS. SUNDAYS „, Green- l'ur- itoshr- flreen- l'ur time ville, brays Green- hihitherilied vine.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un nertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of apllying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently. but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence. which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

I thank you for the very warm and generous way in which you have drunk my health, and I can only say that it will render me but too happy at all times to have an opportuni'y of benefiting my fellow -townsmen of Athlone.—(Caters, during which tl e Rev. G,ntleman resumed his seat, haring proposed " the health of the Vice Chair man.") The Rev. KIERAN KILROE, P.P., rose to return th inks. lie was happy to find a meeting so tvirmc nious, arid for such a purpose, as to pay a compliment to their worthy representative.—(Loud cheers.) It ii true that at one time ha was an opponent of M-. Keogh, and he thanked the lion. Gentleman 1,1. de signating th .t opposition open and manly.—(Hear, and cheers.) Since that time he had reason to be lieve that Mr. Keogh was a fiend to the b:trough of Athlone, and a lover of Ireland, and were he again to conic forward—and this he felt he could do with ()tit any sat.rifice of principle —he (Mr. Kilro,-) would support him.—(Cheers.) It was time that party feelirgs should be forgotten—that party should be extinct—and Irishmen united for the good of their country.—(Hear, and cheers) He was right glad to find men in that assembly who at one time differed from him politically, because it was evidence of union amongst all bearing the name of Irishmen. The country had passed through many and great trials, still he would ask, no matter how changed she might be under those trials— " Breathes there a man with soul so dead. Who never to himself has said, This is my own my native land?" :Great cheering.) The Rev. Gentleman then thanked he meeting fur the reception which the toast of hie health had met, and resumed his seat amidst tremen dous cheers. The PRESIDENT next rose to propose the health of an intelligent, useful; and loyal body of men— " The Bar of Ireland." Counsellor BLAKENEY returned thanks. Mr. Knoon begged leave to propose— " The health of the J. Mr. Dardis," which was well received. At a few minutes after nine o'clock the Rev. Mr. Moffatt vacated the chair, to which, on the motion of George Hetherington, Esq., M.D., Ed war d L ar k in, Esq., J.P., was unanimously chosen. Knoou then proposed— " The health of Mr. Philip Hay, late Chairman of the Town Commissioners." 'Mr. HAY, on rising to respond, said that he never had been one whose taste savoured of politics. He had seen too much servility ald corruption to tread that path ; he was too humble to be a leader, and too proud to be dragged at the tail of any man. In re fusing to join in politics, he had abstained from taking out his vote; but if it were to return Mr. Keogh to Parliament, he would register his vote for him, and give him his most strenuous support.--(Cheers ) " The health of Mr. Larkan" was then proposed. Mr. LARKAN thanked the meeting for the kind manner in which his health had been received. With all that had been that evening said he cordially agreed. The cry of class was taken from the land—(llear, hear)--and it was now proved that so long as the country was divided nothing but a phantom had been pursued. He had great confidence in their worthy guest as the representative of the borough, and be .would ever command his support.—(Cheers.) Some other appropriate toasts having been pro• posed, the meeting immediately after separated, each one fully satisfied with the evening's entertainment. FATAL COLLISION AT SEA. (From the Liverpool Courier.) On Tuesday morning a frightful collision took place between the steamer Minerva (plying between this port and Kingstown) and the brig William Rushton, the consequences of which are the lose of seven lives, and the total destruction of the William Rushton. As far as we were able to collect the circumstances of the case up to the time of our going to press last night they era as follows :—On Monday evening the Minerva left Liverpool at seven o'clock, in company with the Iron Duke, both vessels being bound for Kingstown. During the whole of the evening it blew very hard from the W'.S.W , and the Minerva, not being able to make . much way, was kept on the Welsh coast. About one o'clock yesterday morning, when the Minerva was between Puffin Lland and Point Lynes, a strange sail was descried close upon the sterani-r. The vessel proved to be the William Itnsli on, Irons Laguna, on the coast of Mexico, heavily laden wi:h mahogany arid a few parcels of a general cargo. As far as our information goes the brig was nut observed by the steamer until she was close upon her, the former showing no light. We have, on the other hand, been informed that the people on the brig saw the stearnves li„hts some ten minutes before the frightful collision which eventually occurred. Immediately on the brig being seen coming in the direction of the steamer it was clear to all on hoard that a collision was inevita ble, and consequently the engines were at once re versed, the helm put hard up, and, as far as our in formation goes, everything done to mitigate the effects of a calamity whch seemed unavoidable. Only a few moments elapsed after the brig was first seen before the bowsprit of the steamer came in contact with her, striking her about midships, and the collision was a very violent one, from thss circum stance that the steamer was going at full speed when she first saw the brig, and the engineer had therefore not time to reverse the engines in time to prevent serious consequences. As soon as Captain Hall, of the Minerva, saw what had happened, and that it was evident the brig would sink, he promptly ordered out the lifeboat of the Minerva, and, although he was remonstrated with by many of the passengers for doing so, on the ground that such a step was rash and useless in consequence of the sea running so high at the time, he still per. sisted in sending the boat off, which succeeded in saving the lives of four persons on board the brig, in cluding the captain, the cook, and two seamen. The remainder of the crew, which altogether numbered 11, were all drowned. In about ten minutes after the collision the brig sank in deep water, not a vestige of her was to he seen. The life-boat belonging to the steamer had the ut most difficulty in regaining the Minerva, as the sea was running so very high at the time. Oa examin ing the Minerva, Captain Hall found that her fore compartment was so stove in by the collision as to be completely filled with water, and the ship was con siderably down by 'he head. He also found that she ht:d lost her bowsprit, her foremast, and all the run ning forward gearing. Under these circumstances he deemed it prudent to run the tteamer into Beau maris, where he landed his passengers, the greater part of whom bent on from Bangor to Holyhead by the railway, and from there took the steamer to Kingstown. Previous to leaving Beaumaris the passengers pre sentEd Captain Hall with the following flattering tes timonial of their opinion of his seamanship under the trying circumstances in which they were placed, and in acknowledgment of his intrepid conduct in endea vouring to save the lives of those on board the 'William Rushton:— " We, the passengers on board the Minerva, which left Liverpool on the 19th instant, at seven o'clock P.M., much as we regret the fiscal collision which occurred be tween her and the brig William Rushton, cannot fail to record our sense of the gallant conduct of Captain John Henry Hull, who, though at imminent danger to hit own vesi,el, seta out his boat to render all the assistance pos sible to those in the unfortunate brig ; and we further beg to record our high sense of the propriety and con duct of Captain Hall on this ♦ery trying occasion.— Signed.
