However, as the weather is so unnsually fine, there is. every reason to expect that it may still improve. The bore crap has quite surpassed our expectations: Turn where you wilt, its oppearatce is the most luxuriant than be conceived, as well on the moor-soil as the upland. Barley is very healthy,- but irt many places thin and . uneven, and does' not promise is heavy crop. Rye is very luxuriant, especially the White English;' which is one of the finest crops we ever saw; in many of the Melds the stem over six feet its height. .Beans and peas are both very promising up to this period. We never saw the potato crop look hotter. Fair promise of a healthy and plentiful return,, %Vero they have been sown. Mengel-wurzel—Tnere has be en a considerable failure in this crop, in many places, but LI others it loolts healthy and vigorous. A large extent ot." land sown under turnips, and the crop in general has a very promising appearance. Buckwheat is doing very well."—Ballinasloe Star. COUNTY OF CORK.—We have taken consiaeralie trouble, - by inquiry from persons of intelliglnce and eg perience, and be personal investigation, to ascertain the precise condition of the potato crop, and we may et once state that the result of it hes been to leave no serious apprehensions on our mind as to disease having aitanked the root. The writer visited yesterday an extensive potato field in the suburbs, which, exactly a month since, it was -p os i t i ve l y asserted the blight had visited and d estro yed. On that occasion the field presented in some places the very same appearance that it did yesterday, viz., several brown spots or blotches appeared on some of the leaves, say on two or three stalks in a ridge, and in some few the leaves appeared curled, but in no in stance was there in the stalk or stem branching from it any appearanc e o f disease. The observation of one of the farm ers present was " Ifw . e d .loo fi k n e d d as close these -f orty years back, we'd the same signs here and there in every field. ' It was also observed that the field was ripening fast ; the pro duce (Quarrys) is being dug these three weeks, and it is perfectly sound, abundant, and full sized. Yesterday -morning a gentleman called at our office to say that the suplAY of potatoes at market was enormous, andlaving accoravanied him to the Grand Parade Market, our attenthia was at once directed to several baskets from Flynn's garden at Friar's-walk, said to have been com pletely destre!yed--finer potatoes . we never sare.at this season, and thepersons who Were Selling them s a id th a t Flynnhadsold tiee crop long before he had mirk the zrairety' of its beitllg blifstett and that trerieSn'bonght it were in no way sooty for their bargain. The supply at market was very large—the quality appeared excel lent, and they were selling at ls. 6d. per weight of 211bs. We then proceeded to the Coal-quay Market, where there was also a large supply, among which we noticed two loads of splendid-looking pota toes from tee grounds of Mr. O'Connor, of Mount Patrick, which were bought with avidity at ls. 3d. per weight, and which, we are informed by the man in charge of them, presented a month ago the same appearance we have already referred to, namely, partial discoloration of the leaf; but which he positively stated had no effect on the growth or condition of the tuber. We are of opinion that some very partial failures must necessarily be expected, as the result of the disease wearing itself out, or rather exhausting its destructive power. Generally speaking,. we believe the crop to be as yet in a most favourable condition. And lastly, should the worst symptom of previous years extensively appear it is the opinion of agriculturists that from the forward condition of the crop at present, it will have much less injurious effect than previously, and from the very great breadth of land now sown with corn and green crops of every kind, there will be such a supply of human food raised as will, under Providence, afford much relief to the distressed population of the country.—Cork Re porter of Saturday. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WATERFORD, JULY H.—Two men named Liddy and Keefe were indicted for a conspiracy to murder Arthur Usher, Esq , a magistrate and landowner. One of the prisoners, Liddy, had a difference with Mr. Usher, and was evicted from his holding. The Sheriff had evicted sonic of the tenantry upon haberes, and subsequently Mr. Usher was fired at. The jury returned a verdict of guilty against both prisoners ; but Baron Pennefather postponed the sentence. Five other persons are to be tried on the same charge. ROSCOMMON, July 16.—Baron Richards opened the Commission, and the grand Jury being re-sworn, his Lordship delivered the following eharge : " Mr. French, and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury—lt is now something more than twelve months since I have had the honour of presiding in this court-house; and since that time your county, as well as almost every county in Ireland, has passed through a frightful ordeal; but I trust that we have nearly arrived at the termination of that state. The destitution prevailing through the country, by the benevolent assistance of the Government, and the liberal grants from the public funds, has to a great degree been alleviated; and although the people were not, perhaps, rendered as comfortable as they here tofore were, still they have been relieved from actual starvation. .How tar, gentlemen, these funds have been applied by the persons to whom they were entrusted in relieving the destitute—and the destitute alone—it is not for me to say; but I have read reports professing to be authentic, as all of you, no doubt, have done, con taining unquestionably grave and serious charges with reference to the disposal of the public money. From these charges, so serious in their character, it unques tionebly behoves every county and every local commit tee, as far as it possibly can, to clear itself, and show the public at large that they are, as applicable to them, errountiless. hit ease fl - ukv.cmv,^artett-krag i - zuu iuiiJ justified in using that strong term—than to devote the public money, intended for the relief of the destitute, to any other purpose. Gentlemen, in making these obser vations, let me not be understood to make any particular insinuation to this county. We see some of as high -minded men in this county as in any part of Ireland ; but, at the same time, I dare say, that here, as well as in other coun ties, there are other persons not influenced by such high motives or high-minded feelings. We are about to enter upon the administration of a law which will require the exacting from the inhabitants of the whole land large sums of money, and it behoves us all to see that the really destitute alone are relieved, and that no person, by any influence whatever, can apply to his own use the public money. I have heard you have come to a resolu tion of passing as few presentments as possible at the present assizes. In that view I entirely agree, and think you are quite right at present not to burden the country with more expense than is absolutely necessary. The gaol is in a very crowded state, and although the sessions have but lately terminated, and the assistant barrister (Mr. Finlay) used his best exertions, and devoted himself to the discharge of his duties in the best possible manner he could, which he always does, still there remains a vast deal more of prisoners than the gaol is competent to contain, consequently fever and dysentery are found to prevail amongst the unfortunate inmates. There are ROW not less than 207 prisoners confined, and at this time, when it is so necessary the gaol should be properly ventilated, these 227 persons are confined in a gaol only competent to accommodate 240. Of this number there are 34 sick in fever, 13 in dysentery, and 45 who are nearly convalescent, but have been sick. The court is kept free from the concourse of persons that usually thronged it during an assize. It is kept well ventilated, and chlorid of lime is profusely scattered over it. A medical gentleman is also in attendance to inspect the country ;people coming into court--a very wise regulation, as already several have been stopped who are in the incipient stage of fever. The prisoners are only brought from the gaol to court in batches, according to the number in each case as it is called on. THE ASSIZES.—GOVERNMENT PRESENTMENTS.--The Evening Mail contains the following communication from Roscommon:—" The grand jury have (herded, on account of the state of the county, not to put on a single new presentment, and, as not more than half the rates now due has been collected, they have been obliged to ask for a postponement of the Government present ments. There are no funds for the gaol, and, as the Bank refuses to advance money, the prisoners must be turned out unless the Government will provide the means of supporting them. All the road traverses for damages have been thrown out." REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The weekly day. Mr. John Reynolds, e T , pres ided. need the business of the day Mr. J. O'CONNELL commenced by handing in several of sums of money. Amongst theta h o o s f ay a s that poo meeting of the c Associstnwas held this was a remittance rthpeeole, 121. l2i. 6i. from the Right Rev. Dr. Higgins , oppres,ron from con tribution " is kind of ‘• • abladoGovernment, bad landlords, and mal-administration of bad and cruel lasts. Under Providence their only • Bishop the vol voluntary t a A r r y cl agh' offering w hopes for redress are fixed on the peaceful and perse vering efforts of Conciliat:on Hall, for whose success they incessantly and fervently pray." Dr. O'REILLY expressed • his intention of not contesting Dundalk at the approaching election. Mr. J. O'CONNELL then and announced that three gentlemen, who had signified their adhesion to repeal, were seeking to fill the va• cancy in the county of Kilkenny created by the resig• nation of Mr. Smithwick. They were Captain Green, who had some time retired from the army, and was a gentleman of good property ; Mr. Charles Healy, late high sheriff of that county, and Mr. P. R. Welsh. In Longford, Major Blackall and Mr. Fox, gentle men who hitherto professed antinational and e s ti:- popular pri nc ipl es , an d d ec l ared for Repeal, I would, he (Mr. O'Connell) had no doubt, be returned for that county. Kildare was determined to legislation, mani fest its sentiments in favour of dome7esnt!tcyl matured but as yet matters were not sufficiently After some to warrant him in being more , explicit., and Louth, the allusions to Wexford (county), criticise the address lof Hon. Gentleman proceededto With regard to the Sir Robert Peel to his constituents. , he (Mr. O'Connell) f e l t the Catholic clergy , payment of assured that the priesthood of Ireland would neve r con descend to a ccept the wages of England, and that th e y wo uld resis t n limine any base offers of corrupti on . If a measu re having for its object the payment o f th e C atholic clergy were introduced into the House of Commons, it would be the duty of the Irish Liberal Members to re sist it to the utmost of their power. The Hon. Gentle man addressed the meeting at considerable length, and concluded by handing in the anonymous contributions of two gentlemen whose names, if announced, would asto nish Sir Robert Peel. The rent for the week was announced to be 594 15.44 The meeting then adjourn-A. FUNERAL OF 111 R. O'CONNELL.—A letter dated Genoa, the 13th init., states that the body of Mr. O'Connell had at length removed from that city on the preceding day, a large coach, styled a fourgon, having been purchased for the purpose, and .the funeral setting out by Au overland route for France.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determ ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosiitt hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness d social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE: Since Friday night a change has taken place in the weather, but the intense heat previously experienced forced the growing grain crops rapidly forward, and in some very early localities the sickle has already been brought into operation. Last night we had thunder showers in this neighbourhood, and to-day (Saturday), the weather has a decidedly unsettled appearance; should rain set in, which is not improbable after so long a period of dry weather, harvest operations would be delayed: and even if this should not be the case, reaping can scarcely be general in the southern ,arts of the kingdom till the end of the month. In proportion as the Wheat crop has progressed towards maturity the reports of the probable yield have become less favourable ; and, instead of the extraordinary abundance a short time ago calculated on, strong doubts are beginning to be enter tained whether the produce will prove an usual average. The cause of the expected deficiency is the reported prevalt-nee of blight cad red gum; and if those disorders are really so general as represented. it would afford suf ficient grounds for a less favourable estimate of the probable result of the Wheat harvest than that pre viously entertained being taken. We are , however, dis posed to think that it is yet too early to form anything like a definite opinion on this important subject ; but that injury may have been done to the Wheat plant by the cold nights experienced in June is by no means un welland we have heard no complaints respecting Peas k but likely. Barley and Oats are generally spoken of; the Bean crop is sail to have been so extensively attacked 4 the black fly as to render it doubtful whether it will yield more than three-fourths of a crop. In regard to Potatoes we are sorry to say that the accounts have again become unfavourable; so little appears. how ever, to be really known of the character of the disease of the last two seasons. that rumours of i ts re-appear ance should be received with extreme caution. The trade in Wheat litietbroughout the week main tained a decidedly firm tone; not the slightest inclination has, however, been shown to enter into speculative investments—indeed all parties have exercised extreme caution in their operations, only buying sufficient to carry on their usual trade for a limited period. The insignificance of the deliveries from the growers has, therefore, in our opinion, had more to do with the ad vance which has taken place in prices than the reported injury sustained by the wheat crop. That the stocks of home-grown wheat are all but exhausted, is tolerably evident from the fact that buyers from districts usually furnishing supplies for London, Liverpool, and the other large consuming towns, have visited th e ports where they could obtain foreign ; and shipments on an extensive scale are now in progress at this port, both for the east and west coast ; besides which, l arge quan titi e s are being transported into the interior by railway. The arrivals of home grown Wheat into London con tinue to fall off week after week, and the quantity re ported up to this (Saturday). evening amounts to only 1,280 qrs. Meanwhile very little has been brought for ward at Mark-lane by land carriage samples from the neighbouring counties, and the millers have experienced some difficulty in securing a sufficient q uan tity o f fresh English Wheat for mixing with the foreign. On Wed nesday the Essex, Kent, and Suffolk stands were nearly bare ; and so little business was consequently done as scarcely to warrant alteration in quotations, ; the oper a ti ons were but that needy buyers had to pay a trifl e over M on d ay ' s currency is certain. On Friday there was a b so l ute l y no t l h V e h r e e a fo t re o f n hoe ec e m s sa rily growth on and, in th e a b sence of business, quotations remained no m i na ll y as i n t h e beginning of the week. Foreign Wheat continues to and much of it i n (pine pretty freely to hand, 30,847 quarters having ar rived during the week. A large proporti on o f t hi s such su pp indifferent d i s i ff a e g r a e i n condition again of of inferior as quality, to be unfit for i mme di ate use. Really good qualities have been in f a i r request , principally for transit into the interior ; and, th oug h our own millers have acted on the reserve, rather a con siderable amount of business has been done. The sales made on Wednesday were at about previo us p r i ces, b ut later in the week Dantr.c, and the finer descriptions of red Wheat, brought a trifle more than on M on d ay. Egyptian and other inferior sorts have been compara tively neglected, though offere d r elatively cheap. In quotations of town-made Flour no change has occurred, nor has the demand been by any means lively. American Flour has met with a moderate share of attention, but former rates have not been exceeded, 375. to 38s. per brl. being still extreme rates for the best brands on Friday. The arrivals of flour from the United States have been rather liberal, which has tended to keep prices steady. Indian corn does not appear to increase in favour with the inhabitants of the metropolis, and the sale in this market is very restricted. So little has been done in the article since the last that we can scarcely give its precise value, - but 465. per quarter would pro bably be an extreme price for the best.—Mark lane Express. OBSEQUIES OF THE LIBERATOR AT ROME. LUMR..FRQA RILATITIYY Rome, June 28, 1847, Two o'Clock, P.M. BELOVED FRIEND,—Be net surprised if there be an air of incoherency in what I write. Like one who has just beheld a vision, my incapacity to give utterance to the thoughts and emotions which agitate my breast is exactly in proportion with their vividness, their multitudinous variety, and, I may add, their gran deur. 0 ! how intensely and how often during the last four hours have I longed that you were here— that the whole family which bears his world honoured name—that the entire Irish people were eye and ear witnesses of what it has been our privilege to see—the Catholic enthusiasm --the more than earthly pump and ccclasiastical magnificen ce with which Rome—wide-sceptered, eternal h ome—'has to - day per formed the Liberator's funeral. It was l ike a vision, I calmly and solemnly assure you--a vision so august a nd overpowering that no man could describe it, much less when, fatigued and unnerved as I am now, not so much by many hours' movement and the sultry heat, as by that species of collapse which comes upon us after a moun tain of doubt and anxiety, a ft e r long resting t here, is lifted, and that not gently, from the heart. This is the reason I wished as ardently-, as vainly, that all Ireland were present at the solemnity of to•day, for then, and only th en , cou ld they have formed a notion of the imm ens it y o f t h e e ff e ct that their Libera tor's principles h ave h a d upon the world — of the services inappreciabl e f or w hi c h they s t a nd indebted to his memory since h e hi mse lf h as ceased to live. "De functus adhuc loquitur." Often he said it, nd to the letter we have seen it ver ifi e d t o -day. He is agitating for their rights and pri v il eges even in the grave. I wished, too, that they were here, in order that they might estimate correctly how great and sacred are their obligations towards the Romans and the Supreme Pon tiff Pius LX., whom may Heaven, in its bounty to the Church and to the world, long continue to defend and prosper ! ... Yes, I feel conscious that anything I can say must fall so far short of the reality, that it were almost better to be altogether silent ; and, on the other hand, I feel how indispensable it is that the country should not be left in ignorance of whatso vitally concerns it, and what I am certain it considers and cherishes as its dearest interest. I have, on this account, besought of o thers far more competent for the task, to write such details of the fu neral as may help, at least. to convey to the Irish peo p le a shadowy idea of what it was. Th is will state parti culars, such as the inscription which adorned the mau soleum or emnotaph—a tomb like a temple, more than sixty feet in height, erected beneath one of the proudest copulas of Rome—that one which the celestial orb of Domenichino has adorned. They will describe the effect of the choir of one hundred voices —the elite of those whose echoes are familiar to the lacquered roofs of the Lateran of St. Peter's, and of the chief basilicas of Rome. They will estimate the multitudes by which the three hundred feet in length)—en the great Temple was crowded in all its vastness (it is more than in the fifteen or twenty people, and by personages, such as ambassadors. who were as signed distinguished places. As for me, in the mood in which I find myself—and repeat, that the august minutes yet remaining h e f in or a e g t n h i e fic p e t closes— w l h e i tt e n h o t o h ly , Rome—at the expense Liberator's funeral has been sol u e n m e n ra is l e o d c c h o w n •e st t a o n - t d it a l v e . th in e St. Peter—is in seen it. It was grander any one who has not the ~ under many describable, and cannot be comprehended adequately by aspects, I am certain, thanThts , t express command of theosfutchceessßoromoafn - you, may sound like incoherency and extravagance; but here ' is the proof that it is t i rkie s t c — R Great, or Charlemagne. his, as I warned IPTION—No. 1.

The more than Roman Emperor—he who wears the triple crown, and rules a kingdom which knows no limits but those of the world---it was he, Pius the IX., who ordered the funeral. He exercised the plentitude of the divine jurisdiction confided to him to secure for the departed " Hero of Christianity," as the Pontiff himself entitled him, the greatest advantages from the suffrages of the Church. He pro claimed his wish that the obsequies shoulti be in every respect worthy of Rome, of the Papacy, of O'Connell and he stopped not with the bare expression of his wishes—even the very vestments worn at the altar in the Requiem were sent, by his own special order, from the Papal Chapel.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.-NEW LIGHT APPA RATITS IN THE FARO OF' LA CORUNA. Spanish Consulate General, 37. Old Bcoad-street, July 20, 1847. Sln ' —I have this day received from his Excellency the First Minister for Foreign Affairs of my august. Sove reign, a communication of the 10th June, ult., in which the Minister of Commerce, Education, and Public Works, address the following notice to mariners. " New Light Apparatus in the Faro of La Coruna on the Coast of Spain.—On the 4th of June of the present year, was lighted, and will continue to burn in futute, the new cata-deoptric revolving apparatus of the third order, " gran modelo" is the plan of the former light of the Faro of La Coruna. It is situated 1 mile N.W. of La Coruna in the same tower, called Hercules, which contained the old one"; latitude 43 deg. 22. min. N., and longitude 2 min. 14 sec. W. of Cadiz ; the height of the luminous focus above the sea level at calm of the equinoctial high tides is 363 k feet (101 metres). The light is fixed, varied by lustres ; the fixed light is visible in ordinary weather at the distance of 12 sea miles, and the lustres at 20 miles. Within the 12 miles the Faro will exhibit the following aspects :—The fixed light faint for 30 sec. ; second, the eclipse for 30 sec., lustre 13 sec., eclipse, 30 sec. ; the fixed light again returning faint. Beyond 12 miles, the lustre only will be seen for the space of some seven seconds' duration, a complete eclipse following for three minutes, the period in which the revolution is effected, when the lustre will again appear as before. The Faro light will burn throughout every night in the year.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) " J. M. BARRERO, " Her Majesty's Consul-General. " W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's." THE ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY. His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, accompanied by the Countess of Clarendon, when visiting the exhibition of the above society, were, perhaps, seen for the first time by many thousands since the commencement of their vice-royalty, and certainly a more auspicious and fitting occasion could scarcely have been selected than when affording the protection of their patronage to in dustry and the arts. Their Excellencies were accom panied by the Archbishop of Dublin, the Duke of Lein ster, and-all the elite of rank and fashion then in Dublin. It is stated to have been in the highest degree pleasing to observe the evident delight of their Excellencies, on viewing the magnificent assortment of every kind of manufacture displayed for their inspection. Per haps none of the exhibitors seemed to have attracted more general attention to their wares than the firm of George Macdona and Company, who, besides their ordinary materials, as merchant clothiers, displayed a Registered Paletot, of elegant manufacture, the above firm being agents to the inventors and patentees, Messrs. Nicoll, of Regent -street, London. His Excellency having liberally patronised articles exclusively of Irish manufacture, was pleased also to select the above, it is believed, with a view to the in ducement of the occasional consignment of specimens for future exhibition from the most celebrated artisans and manufacturers, as well from abroad as at home ; and thus to stimulate still further not only the rapid progress evinced on this occasion in every descrip tion of native manufacture, but also the encouragement of hitherto untried, yet practicable sources for the em ployment of labour. It may be fairly assumed that such was his Lordship's motive in extending his patronage to this fashionable and highly useful article of dress, if it is not even corrobo rated from the following extract of his Excellency's reply to the deputation, exclusively composed of the repeal members of the Corporation, who waited upon his Excellency for the purpose of presenting him with an address of congratulation upon his arrival in Ireland as her Majesty's representative:— "To bad jaws, most of them happily repealed, many of the evils of this country are doubtless attributable ; be t u t akid l is ACv As' OMR& .Pl9.s Executive Government are indispensable. They may indirectly assist, but they should not, in my opinion, alone be relied upon for rendering the land and the sea more productive than they have hitherto been ; for pro moting habits of order and industry; for giving security to capital, stimulus to trade, and encouragement to manufactures, which, to judge from the specimens exhi- IA; ed at the Royal Dublin Society, might, I am convinced, successfully compete with the manufactures of England both in the home and foreign markets." It is somewhat remarkable that we should have oc casion, at the same time, to notice that Messrs. Ni eo ll' s Paletot of Llama cloth has been selected in every sub stance suitable to the various climates which his High ness the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia intends visiting. It would appear that his Imperial Highness inherits some of that laudable curiosity which distinguishes the Emperor, for when upon a visit to Sir Robert Peel, at Drayton Manor, he availed himself of his then vicinity to Birmingham, and took an early opportunity of in sp‘ cling that city's wonderful attractions, and in the course of the day honoured Messrs.

THE NEW PALACE AT WEST- MINSTER. The architect's last report of the present state of the works, up to the 30th of June, is as follows: " The carcase works of the portion of the building towards New Palace-yard are entirely completed. The Victoria Tower is about 90 feet high; the carving of the stone groin within it is completed, and the scaffolding is removed. The Clock Tower is also above ninety feet high. Framed scaffolding and hoisting apparatus have been pre pared, and are now being fixed for the upper portions of these towers which are not yet contracted for. The stone groin over the central hall is now being turned, and is far advanced to completion. St. Stephen', Hall is in part carried up to its full height for the r.>of, and the re mainder is, upon an average, within about 10 feet of the same level.

A considerable extent of joiners' works in ceilings is prepared; much of it is fixed, and other finishings are executed in other portions of the building. The new committee-rooms in the river front have been temporarily fitted up for use since Easter. There are at present 1,276 men engaged upon the works of the New Palace, of which 708 are employed at the building, 147 at the quarries, 228 at the Govern ment works at Thames Bank upon the joiners' fittings, and 193 upon miscellaneous works both at the building and elsewhere.

From the Campus Martins and the Roman Forum—from both sides of the Tiber—and from all the Seven Hills ands! their inteijacent valleys, this people, who grow up from infancy with the trophies of thirty centuries of greatness round them on every hand, assembled with enthusiasm to supplicate for the eternal happiness of Ireland's Liberator, and to exult in the wonders he had achieved, as if he had been their own. I am bewildered, I confess, between the grandeur of my theme, the shortness of the interval—not many minutes more in which it will be possible for me to speak of itA between the deep sense of my incapacity to do it any thing even remotely approaching justice, and my strong solemn conviction how expedient—how indispensable— it is that Catholic Ireland should not be unaware of, and it will not be insensible to, the share it has in this grand event. I s h ou ld h ave sa id , s i nce I can not describe the funeral decorations of the church, that they gave occupation to painters, sculptors, artists, and artisans of every kind, who since early last week pursued their work (I mean within the church itself) incessantly by day and night. I have just got a copy of the inscriptions which were placed around the mausoleum—there were tablets also with texts upon the pilasters round about the church. Let the in scriptions be given literatim, and translated word for word. I have said that the Pontiff had privileged all the altars—the high altar was reserved trom four o'clock in the morning until the Requiem began—exclusively for priests and bishops of the Greek and other Oriental rites. From the dawn until nine o'clock it was difficult' for a priest to get an- altar, though the vast Basilica cannot contain less than twenty. Eve!) , nittii hid' its congre gation of devout adorers, as priest succeededlriest in orderly succession. Around the bier was"ratiged the Irish in the front rank ; and, if we count, besides the German College, the Scotch, English, French, the stu dents of the Propaganda, we may say that all nations were represented in his obsequies—wept for his death— supplicated for his eternal felicity, and exulted in the great things the Providence which ever protected and guided this great servant of the Most High, enabled him to achieve for his country and for mankind. But I must pause. But this is just. Even Rome in one day could not complete his funeral. The Bossuet of Italy—the illustrious Ventura—could not, in a matchless oration of two hours, say enough for his glory. His funeral, interrupted by the glorious festival of Rome—that of her apostles, Peter and Paul—is to be renewed again on Wednesday. To-day the great Christian orator treated one half of his text, as he alone knows how to treat it. Next Wednesday he treats the second part, and con cludes. Then you shall, with God's blessing, hear again from your faithful friend, J. MILEY. The following are the other inscriptions : INSCRIPTION—No. IL (Over the Inner Door, or rather Inside over the Door.) TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, A man to he remembered in tho praise of all ages, And in this time of necessity ; Who by the splendour of his genius, and wondrous fer tility of speech, The lives, the religion, the rights and liberties of his fellow -countrymen, Preserved and battled for. In gravest interests engaged from earliest youth, Nothing in the abstruse affairs of the Commonwealth was difficult to him That he did not conquer and unravel by the acuteness and labours of his mind. In highest gifts and honours, On a like pinnacle he will ever stand ; His door was never closed to any • But to the needy was o p en w i t h exceeding liberality. At length all the duties to his country being sacredly performed, His adversaries conquered, and factions laid asleep, The Catholic religion, to which he wholly devoted himself, Vindicated in its liberties, From the storms of this world to the harbour of eternity, He has betaken himself, To the overwhelming grief as well of his own country men as strangers. He died at Genoa, 15th May, in the year of our Redemp tion MDCCCXLVIL He lived 72 years, 9 months, 6 days; For age and deeds a long period; For the protection and comfort of his pe, , ple, Alas, too short! 111. (On both sides of the tomb.) TO DANIEL O'CONNELL. One who will outlive the memory of men. Who, by writings and speeches fraught with wisdom, The rights of faith and freedom, Which before seemed to be averse from one another, _ _ _ amicably set in order.,_ In which to such triumphs a persistence, To religion such an increase would redound, As it were a beacon to be held out to all. • Ele was in such popularity and estimation that he was the first Catholic, In the English Legislature, his adversaries vainly opposing Who in the Comnions House obtained a seat. And there fir many years the same popular trust he ably discharged, And a principal position ever held. By whom gravity was given to judgment, dignity to the laws— A bridle thrown upon license—piety and religion amplified by great increase: These were the arts by which he aspired to Heaven. PitICV- SD. IRELAND. ADDRESS - PROM THE CORPORATION TO THE LORD _ ANT. DUBLIN, JUL Y W. LIEUTEN • or — The Ld Mayor, Aldermen, and Common-Council or this city waited upon his Excel lency the Earl of Clarendon to day, at three o'clock, at the Castle, " for the purpose of presenting; him with an addres, of congratulation upon, his arrival as her Ma jesty's representative." His Excellency having tal.cen his seat upon the thrum., attended by Captain Williams, comptroller, Captain Bernard, A.1).C., Mr. Harvey, A.D.C., Mr. C. Connellan, private secretary, &c., the deputation were ushered into the presence chamber, and introduced to his Excellency, when the Lord Mayor proceeded to read the address of the Corporation. When his Lordship had concluded, His Excellency - proceeded to read his answer as fol lows : "My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen—l cordially thank you for your assurance that my app;i2tment as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has been viewed with satisfaction by the corporation of Dublin, and I rejoice that, in your opinion, our gracious Sovereign has given a fresh proof of her anxiety to promote the happiness of her Irish subjects, by selecting, as her Majesty's representative in this country, one who has always and conscientiously adhered to the glorious principles of civil and raigjous _ _ _ " Ii would, doubtless, have been more agreeable to me if, with those flattering congratulations upon my arrival in this country, which I gratefully accept, it had not been thought necessary by' you to mingle topics of a painful nature ; bui I should have much regretted it on any account the municipal representatives of this great city•had hesitated to express their opinions with that entire freedom, which, whether collectively or indivi dually, is the unqueatiouable right or allEtritish subjects. " I fully admit„ and deeply lament, that the social con dition of Irelauktil3onlOe such aluou have, Ivithout_e&-_, aggeration, described it to be. Like you, I believe that the terrible calamity of this year, unparalleled almost in the history of the world, has been but an aggravation of that distress, which in many parts of the country may unfortunately be regarded as permanent; but knowing, as we all do, that Ireland possesses a genial climate, a soil of prodigious fertility and vast mineral wealth,a po pulation hardy, intelligent, and laborious, eager to learn and easy to lead, that she might to any extent share in the prosperity and progress of England, and at home, to any extent, command the capital and enterprise of Eng land, and yet that her people should be wretched, her trade langui,h, and her wealth grow less, is a state of things alike anomalous and disastrous. " Upon the causes of these evils, and the nature of their remedies, you entertain, and have expressed de cided opinions. I respect them, as Ido every opinion, which, like yours, I believe to be honest and conscien tious ; and I am sure, gentlemen, that from you I may unhesitatingly claim a corresponding regard for my con victions, which are the result of long and deliberate re flection—which in some essential points, especially as regards distinct legislatures for England and Ireland, differ widely from your own, but into an explanation of which, on this occasion, I should think it neither oppor tune nor desirable to enter. "Differing though we may as to the means, we have the same end in view; to promote the improve ment and the welfare of Ireland must be our common purpose. You may possibly consider that this imperial object can alone be secur,d by the aid of Government and of laws ; while my belief, founded on experience both at home and abroad, is, that the less a government or a legislature interteres beyond the removal of obstructions and securing Gf per fect freedom, the better for the community ; because the result of legislative intervention in the affairs of in dividuals has in most cases been to put a check upon enterprise, to destroy self-reliance, and to misdirect ca pital and industry, and among the best laws of recent days are those which have annulled the legislation of former times. " To bad laws, most of them happily repealed, many of the evils of this country are doubtless attributable ; but, towards bringing about a state of things now most to be desired for Ireland, neither laws nor the action of the Executive Government are indispensable. They may indirectly assist, but they should not, in my opi nion, alone be relied upon for rendering the land and the sea more productive than they have hitherto been ; for promoting habits of order and industry ; for giving se curity to capital, stimulus to trade, and encouragement to manu'actures, which, to judge from the specimens exhibited at the Royal Dublin Society, might, I am convinced, successfully compete with the ma..ufacturep , of England both in the horse and foreign markets. National benefits such as these depend but in a small degree upon the Government ; they must, in reality, be the work of the people of all classes, determined to unite for the common good, laying aside with true patriotism those political dissensions which have so long blighted the prosperity of Ireland, and remembering the past ouly as a warning for the future. May we not, however, con sider the present moment as auspicious for the com mencement of a new era, when from various causes party e roil dem, b -mrs: In acr,tnilotl.t. eihre.est.,sv-tfuL xisi Winn of kindly co-operation and sympathy ; u hen misfortune has taught men, hitherto socially estranged, to know and to appreciate each other ? And, gentlemen, if, in ful filment of the wish you have kindly expressed, I have hereafter the satisfaction of thinking, though without presumptuously claiming any share in their promotion, that, during my residence in Ireland, the social condi tion of the country became improved, that land was no longer the first necessary of life to the poorest peasant, and that he no longer depended for subsistence upon the lowest class of food—that the law was duly obeyed, and education widely extended—that capital was invested with confidence, and industry directed into the most productive channels, I shall then consider that day the happiest of my life on which, with conscientious doubts as to my own fitness, I ventured to accept the office which I have now the honour to hold." tier Excellency the Countess of Clarendon and a few other ladies were present during the ceremony. The deputation, having been introduced to his Excel lency by the Lord Mayor, withdrew. THE IRISH POOR-LAW COMMISSION. Under the new Bill, there will be ten poor-law in- spectors in Ireland, the designation of the office being changed from assistant commissioner to inspector. Seven are already employed, and the three vacancies will be filled by the appointment of the following gentlemen:-- Mr. Burke, son of Sir R. Burke, late Governor of New South Wales; Mr. P. G. Barron, and Mr. W. Stanley, present secretary to the relief commission. Mr. Senior, one of the present assistant commissioners, is to be transferred to England. The general belief is that Mr. Twistleton will be the commissioner for Ireland, and that Mr. Power will be assistant commissioner. CLOSE OF THE RELIEF SYSTEM. The following important circular has been issued to the insnecting officers of the various unions:— "Relief Commission Office, Dublin Castle, July 15, 1847. " Sir,—The relief commissioners have to recur to the subject of their circular (No. 60) of 6th July, as a matter of the deepest importance to the country. The measurepresemntuerhelideifstressand o must close e w n i t l i l re a l r y is b e e u fo n r l e es l s o t n h g e , and greatest efforts are made, by timely preparation, to pro vide by the means that will then exist for the support of the people now receiving rations. The Lest arrange. ment which can possibly be made for this purpose will be by the remunerative labour that ought to be arising at this period, and the most scrupulous attention to making it the means of an immediate corresponding re ducti,,n in the distribution of gratuitous relief. The com missioners have great reason to believe that this is not effected in many places ; and that many men are en gaged tor others in hay-making, turf cutting, and vari ous works, without being withdrawn, as they ought to be, as well as their families, from the ration lists. This is partly facilitated, as the commissioners are informed, by the attendance of able-bodied labourers at the daily distribution of rations, being in some places dispensed with on slight excuses. Very determined measures should now be taken to relieve the lists of labourers and their families, where work is to be had, even at mo derate wages, and which is sometimes refused. A very is attended with the active and zealous officer has obtained a great and clearly a proper reduction on the lists, by or gani r s a i t og n a . test of useful work, of a few hours' daily _ e du ru i b o lic He states—' I have got implements from h responsible, and make the able-bodied cleansing and sewer- Works Department, for which the comm w i o t r te k t us i nb gangsecam e also stone for three or four hours daily, ing the town, sinking pumps , anthde xc.; i t and tees . thelparom cbereedaskinpgla,cetdhetobrtohkeencrsetor ble ng system gen e t rally e , rs an c d ann fin ot d b t u h t at c i o t m cl p e l a a r in s adopting this f ationa from man districts the fi l n i s d t i s n finding t he of demands and • largely, • b sometimes wituout continually increasing,. best effects.' The Commission even a word of explanation to account for it, as if what ever as asked for was at once allowed. The inspecting offic w officers are requested, in concert with the Finance Com mittees, to turn their attention anxiously to the best means of preparing their several districts for the entire cessation of the present relief system.

The usual very favourable reports have been received respecting the grain crops. Regarding potatoes the ac counts are still conflicting ; but it is certain the disease has re-appeared to some extent, although in a form somewhat different from what it bore in the two pre ceding years. A letter from a landowner in the Naul, county of Dublin, dated yesterday (Sunday), says , " The potatoes in this neighbourhood are all blasted to day, although yesterday they showed scarcely au symptoms of disease."

TO DANIEL O'CONNELL. In discharge of that high reverence for the Holy See, And for the most Holy Pontiff, the best and greatest, Whose tame amongst all nations bad already spread abroad, To Rome, although in infirm health, he took his way; But at Genoa, the disease having meanwhile become much aggravated, Embracing the cross of Christ, his Saviour, placed there by himself, He breathed his last. Another Moses, the land of the living he from afar be-_ held, Whose heart, however, in which, whilst he lived, Pure religion, piety. love of country, solely reigned, Daniel his son, labouring after the father's example, To Rome, as dying he had ordered, Took care should be conveyed. " His heart he devoted to watching to the Lord." Eccl. 39. V. (On the obverse face of the temporary tomb.) DANIEL O'CONNELL. Was of surpassing piety towards God, Towards the God-bearing Virgin, To whose protection he had recommended himself, With singular devotion. But in the justice. integrity, fortitude of mind, liberality, Diligence, and ease, with which he adapted himself to all, He was to be compared to none. Which virtues of his mind into his four sons With such sedulousness he instilled. That it would seem he had destined them not so much for Himself as for God and his country. May they long remain after him! " Let the generation of the righteous be blessed." Psal. cxi. A medallion representing him clasping the crucifix on his heart, was over the door of the temple like mau soleum. over it the text, "In memoria seterna erit ustus." On the other three sides of the mausoleum, each with one of the three inscriptions under it (twenty four feet square), were represented in alto relievo his first entering into► Parliament, his going to return thanks in the metropolitan church when elected Lord Mayor, and his liberation from prison. A colossal figure of Re ligion surmounted the temple. UNIFORMITY OF TIME BY TELEGRAPH.—The Electric Telegraph Company are now making such ar rang,ments as will enable them to communicate the true time, as observed daily at the Ho) al Observatory at Greenwich, to every station on the various lines of railway where the company has a telegraph station, and of course to all large towns throughout the kingdom. It is now the daily practice at Greenwich, at one o'clock, to indicate the true time by dropping a ball from the upper part of the Observatory, which being telegraphed to the Admiralty, and signalled to the shipping on the Thames, enables ship's chronometers to be adjusted. The contrivance by which the Telegraphic Company propose to extend the knowledge of this exact time throughout the kingdom is exceedingly simple. It is intended that the ball, immediately on being detached at the top of its fall, should strike a spring, which, con nected with the various lines of electric wires of the com pany, will instantly strike a bell at every station. Thus it is not only possible and practicable, but what in all probability will be a matter of daily experience ere very long—that before the ball at Gi eenwich Observatory shall have reached the ground in its fall, the electric bell at Manchester will have struck and set ringing; so that we shall know it is one o'clock at Greenwich before the ball announcing that fact there has finished falling a few feet! In this way the true time at Greenwich may be kept by every railway company an d every larget o wn in the kingdom.—Kentish Mercury. LICENSES TO DEAL IN GAM E. Tuesday the justices acting for the Newington division of the county of Surrey gave notice that they, would hold a special s ession, at the court - house , Newington-green, on Fri day, the 23d instant, to grant licenses to deal in game. Notice of intended application must be given to the justice's clerk this day.'or the license will not be granted.
