A R, R I A 31 One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ern bitterthe latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and 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. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would b, , de, t e onto—t:, alter nature's laws—and to keep always on the " 4,unny side way."

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WATERFORD, JULY 16.—Two men named Liddi ' and ,Z . 7eeic were indicted for a conspiracy to murder Arthur f !Cher, Esq., a magistrate and landowner. One of th e p risoners, Liddy, had a difference with Mr. Usher, and. T 4 as evicted from his holding. The Sheriff had evicted * nue of the tenantry upon haberes, and subsequently Mr. 1.) sher was fired at. The jury returned a verdict of gi silty against both prisoners ; but Baron Pennefatber pc istponed the sentence. Five other persons are to be , tr. ied on the same charge. ROSCOMMON, July IG.—Baron Richards opened the I 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 I aid the honour of presiding in this court-house; and silece that time your county, as well as almost every cot inty in Ireland, has passed through a frightful ordeal; but I trust that we have nearly arrived at ths. termination of ~ that state. The destitution prevailing tiirough th• cou r,, 'try, by the benevolent assistance of the Government, and the liberal grants from the publi c funds, has to a n,,,eat • degree been alleviated; and although the people b were a et, perhaps, rendered as comfortable as they .here tofore' were, still they have b een re li eve d from acinal starvatio. 1. How far, gentl emen , t h ese funds have beau applied by the persons to wh om t h ey 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 unquestios -.ably grave and serious charges with reference to the dla.oesal of the public money. From these charges, so s o,' Ow in their character, it unques tionably behoves every .county and every local commit tee, as far as it possibly eree, to clear itself, and show the public at large that they are, as applicable to them, groundless, in case they can este. Wish their innocence. Nothing can possibly be more shockbg—and I am fully justified in using else,. --strong term,--thast.to devote The public money, in"ted for the relies - of theNlestitute, to any other Gentlemen, F,- making these c!bser-., fissi l e -men tli a ectunty as in any part ofatinrAeinihitttade4---- .' same time, I darn say, that here, as well - al - in other coma-' ties, there are otherpersons not influenced by such high Is. motives or high-minded feelings. We are about to enter upon the administration of a law which will require , the exacting from the inhabeants of the whole land largo 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 d at a j o h : burs present assizes. In that view I entirely i agree, h you are quite right at present not to re en the country o with more expense than is absolutely nec e ssary. The he sessions ` gaol is in a very crowded state, and although L barrister have but lately terminated, and the assistant . . self (Mr. Finlay) used his best exertions, and devoted .\tm to the discharge of his duties in the best poss i ble mater he could, which be always does, still there remising J vast deal more of prisoners than the gaol is competent . to contain, consequently fever and dysentery are film'. to prevail amongst the unfortunate inmates. There ..tro now not less than 207 prisoners con fi ned, and at th AS time, when it is so necessary the gaol should be properly' ventilated, these 227 persons are confined in a gaol only to accommodate 240. Of this number there are 34 sick in fever, 13 in dysentery, and 45 who are nearly con valescent, but have been sick." The court is kept free from the concourse of per sons . 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 prisoner are only brought from the gaol to court in batches, according to the number in each case as it is called on. TEIE ASSIZES.—GOVERNMENT PRESENTMENTS.—Ths Evening Mail contains the following communication from Roscommon:—" The grand jury have decided, 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 a re no f un d s f or t h e gao l, an d, ate th e e Bank refuses t o a d vance money, t h e pr i sone rs moat l"q in turned out unless the Government will provide the =age: of supporting them.

O'CONNELL commence the business of the day by handing in several sums of money. Amongst them 12 was a remittance of 121. s. 6d. from the Right Rev. Dr. Higgins, Bishop of Ardagb, who says that the con tribution _ tt -is t h e voluntary offering of a poor people, almost heart-broken by every kind of oppression from bad Government, bad landlords, and mal-administration of bad and cruel lees. Under Providence their only hopes for redress are fixed on the peaceful and perse vering efforts of Conciliation Hall, for whose success th e y incessantly and fervently pray." Dr. O'REILLY expressed his intention of not contesting Dundalk at the approaching election. Mr. J.

If a measure having for its object the payment of the Catholic 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.

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 today (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 ba general in the southern parts 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 prevalence of blight and 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 likely. Barley and Oats are generally well spoken of, and we have heard no complaints respecting Peas ; but the Bean crop is said to have been so extensively attacked by 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 its re-appear ance should be received with eiireme caution. The trade<in , -Wheat his thhout the wed main tained a decidedly firm tone; , not the slightest inclination has, however, been shown to enter. into speculative 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 homegrown 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 the ports where they could obtain foreign ; and shipments on an extensive scale aro now in progress at this port, both for the east and west coast ; besides which, large quantities aro 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 quantity of fresh English Wheat for mixing with the foreign. On Wed nesday the Essex, Kent, and Suffol stands were nearly bare ; and so little business was consequently done as scarcely to warrant alteration in quotations, but that needy buyers had to pay a trifle over Monday's currency is certain. On Friday there was absolutely no Wheat of home growth on sale; the operations were therefore necessarily unimportant, and, in the absence of business, quotations remained nominally as in the beginning of the week. Foreign Wheat continues to come pretty freely to hand, 30,847 quarters having ar rived during the week. A large proportion of this supply is again of inferior quality, and much of it in such indifferent condition as to be unfit for immediate use. Really good qualities have been in fair request, principally for transit into the interior ; and, though 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 previous prices, but later in the week Dantzc, and the finer descriptions of red Wheat, brought a trifle more than on Monday. Egyptian and other inferior sorts have been compara tively neglected, though offered relatively c h ea p. e e l n n r r q e u d t a n t n i o r n so b asf thetow made demand F b l e o e u n r n b o change y any h as means o 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.

Sin ' —I have this day r ece i ve d f rom hi s E xce ll ency 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.

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 certain!, 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 digree 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 Paletbt, of elegant manufacture, the above firm being ae•ents 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 ar 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 Lardship'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 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 opinion, h „ ,„ 1; " eho land and the .more.productive than they have. hithei , r.,.. *sating habits of order a nd industryfor giving seeuri y. to capital, stimulus to tiade, Olt encouragement manufactures, whicl*.tgjgaigeofnim the specimens ea bited 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 M essrs . Ni co 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 specting that city's wonderful attractions,. and in the scoursetreet: theof the agents d a of y honoured m es Messrs.

The illus trious party, after having partaken of lunch at the resi dence of the Vice-Consul, proceeded to view the principal manufactories of the great emporium. 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 those 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's Hall is in part carried up to its full height for the roof, and the re mainder is, upon an average, within about 10 feet of the same level. St. Stephen's Porch and the western entrance of the building is carried up to the height of about 30 a f fe e a t b h o n v e n e t n h t e r a g i r o rn u n a d s s. es Tnh of the Commons' the building abovepublic n corridors and public staircase, are, upon an average, within about 10 feet of their full height. The House of Commons' ceiling, beams, and bracketting, and stone screens at the north and south ends of the house are completed. The fittings and finishings of the house are not yet ordered, as no decision is yet come to respecting Dr. Reid's plans for warming and ventilating this portion of the building. The House of Lords, the royal ante-chamber, and the house or public lobby, with all their warming and ventilating arrange ments and apparatus, are (with the exception of a portion of the stained glass, the fresco paintings, statues, and other works of art) completed ; and those portions of the building were occupied for the first time imme diately after the Easter recess of the present year. The fittings of the old House of Lords were re moved during the Easter recess, the house con verted into a gallery of approach from the House of Commons, and other co mmunications made be tween the temporary and the new buildings. The fittings and finisbings of the libraries and refreshment rooms are near completion. 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.

BELOVED FRIEND,—Be not surprised -there be an air erinconereney in what wriie. one ho has Just beheld a—vi4ion,_uky inclipaeityM_givo - ranno to the thoughts and emotions which is exaetly in proportion with' their vividn multitudiuous variety, and, I may add, di deur. 01 how intensely and how often during t 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 pomp and ecclasiastical magnificence with which Rome—wide-sceptered, eternal Rome —has to-day per formed the Liberator's funeral. It was like a vision, I calmly and solemnly assure you—a vision so august and overpowering that no man could describe it, much less when, fatigued and unnerved as I am now, not so much i s it ssa p e Int c hi i f eet of dfr o ,e f ad as c oon o un l db l a t tplhs and w di sn h ho i aet c dn h x ci as my gently,,ea aduffertpnoeortmnl ardently, long heage afters he art . ev resting aa ri vainly, y by many hours' movement an d th e sultry heat , as by that m t hT o te u hhr n aei t all Ireland were pres e nt a t t h e so lemnity of to - day , for then, and only then, could they h ave formed a notion of the immensity o f t h e e ff ec t that their Libera tor's principles have h a d upon the world—of the services inappreciable f or w hi c h they stand ind ebted to his memory since he himself has ceased to live. " De functus adhuc loquitur." Often he said it, and to the letter we have seen it verified to-day. He is agitating for their rights and privileges even in the grave. I wished, too, that they were here, is order that they might estimate correctly how great and sacred are their obligations towards the Romans and the Supreme Pon tiff Pius IX., 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 alm osto b I feel tter to be altogether silent ; and, on the other how indispensable it is that the country should not be left in ignorance of what so vitally concerns it, and what I am certain it considers and cherishes as its dearest interest. I have, on this account, besought of others far more competent for the task, to write such details of the fu neral as may help, at least, to convey to the Irish people a shadowy idea of what it was. This 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 wi ll describe the effect of the choir of one hundred voices—the elite of those , whose echoes are familiar to the lac q uered roofs of the ' Lateran of St. Peter's, and of the chief basilicas of Rome. They will estimate the multitudes by which the Temple was crowded in all its vastness (it is more than three hundred feet in lengtb)--enumerating the great personages, such as ambassadors, Stc., who great personages, distinguished places. As for me, in the mood in which I find myself—and in the fifteen or twenty minutes yet remaining before the post closes—l can only repeat, that the august magnificence with which the Liberator's funeral has been solemnised here to-day, in Rome—at the expense of the Roman people, and by express command of the su ccessor of St. Peter—is in describable, an d cannot be co m p rehended ade q uatel y by any one who has not seen it. It was grander under many aspects, I am certain, than the I funeral of‘Constanti ne th e Great, or Charlem a g ne. This, as warned you, ma y sound like incoherency and extravagance; but here is the proof that it is tru e:— INSc RIPTION—No. 1. (Over the Outer Door.) IL O. M. TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, Of the Kingdom of Ireland the Safeguard weds, Protection, I m mortal for the greatest Deeds, As for his Distinguished Services to the Christian Commonweal, The Nobles and the Roman People The last due Offices of the Dead.

That was the inscription placed, surmount e d by the emblazoned emblazoned escutcheon of the O'Connell, above the portals of the basilica where the rites were to be cele brated for his eternal rest. It tells, in th e di a l ect of R ome , how this tri bute of piety, and honour to his memory, is concurred in by all orders of the Roman s. The more than R oman Emperor—he who wears the triple crown , and rules a kingdom w hich kno ws no limits but tho se of the world—i t was h e , Piu s the IX., who ordered the funeral. He exe rcised the plentitude of the divine jurisdiction confided to ris.ed iiin to secure for the departed " Hero of Christianity, as the Pontiff himself entitled him, the ianity," great advantages from the suffrages of the Church. igirotest pro claimed his wish that the obsequies should be in eve ry respect worthy of Rom e, of the Pa p ac y , of ('Connel l ; and he stopped not with the bare expression of his wishes—even the very vestments wor n at the altar in the Requiem were sent , b y his own special order, from Cie Chapc!. The Governor of Rome, surrounded by the civic officers, was present. The grenadiers guard round kept d round the cenotaph were palmed f r -- ..e C • vas the pude JULY 22, 1847. —the representatives of the ancient legions, and em phatically the military representatives of Rome. Their officers were there. They bore torches round the bier, and many of them evinced by bearing and by feature that they belong to the same race as the heroes who still seem to live in the relievi of the ancient triumphs on arch and pillar. From the Campus Martius and the Roman Forum—from both sides of the Tiber—and from all the Seven Hills and their interjacent 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 it— 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 should have said, since 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 itselt) 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 from four o'clock in the morning until the Requiemlbegan—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. Every mass had its emigre ration of devout adorers, as priest succeeded priest in orderly succession. Around the bier was ranged the nthe Ina nulk.t_and-if we cou dents - of the P nt ropaganda, we may say that au 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.

To-day the great Christian orator treated ono 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. 11. (Over the Inner Door, cr rather Inside over the Door.) TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, A man to be remembered in the 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 battledfor. 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 open with 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 MDCCCXLVII. He lived 72 years, 9 months, 6 days ; For age and deeds a long period; For the protection and comfort of his people, 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, He amicably set in order, And to other nations, that they might enter on his course, In which to such triumphs a persistance, To religion such an increase would redound, As it were a beacon to be held out to all.

A medallion representing him clasping the crucifix on his heart, was over the door of the temple like mau soleum, over it the text, gg In memoria reterna erit justus." 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. NIEORMITY Or TIME BY TELEG RAPll.—The Electric Telegraph Company are now making such ar rangements as will enable them to communicate the true time, as observed daily at the Royal 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 ono 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 Greenwich 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 and every large town in the kingdom.—Kentish Mercury. LICENSES TO DEAL IN GAME. Tuesday the justices acting for the Newington div ision of the count y of Surrey gave notice that they would hold a special session, 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.

I resolved, therefore (and in sheer despair), to give Holloway's Pills a trial; by the use of one box I found myself better, and by a short continuance of this inap preciable medicine, I was perfectly cured, to the great astonishment o f my neighbours, who supposed that I could not Possibly have re covered.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's eSta , Dllllllllollt, 244, Strand, London, PRICE -"JD•. 1 DUBLIN, JUL Y 19.

Lieutenant of Ireland has been viewed with satisfactif )n. by the corporation of Dublin, and I rejoice that, in y, i ur opinion, our gracious Sovereign has given a fresh pr? of of her anxiety to promote the happiness of her Iris h subjects, by selecting, as her Majesty's representative i h this country, one who has always and conscientiousl: 9 adhered to the glorious principles of civil and rdigiou S if, with . those flattering congratulations upon n; liberty. fh h u i al s dnatu country, reb u w tt h ol i which should el d g s s r h a a t t e hv r e n i l r l 3u, opinions accept, r eg " It would, doubtless, have been more agi°eable to me 4 not accounthesitatedo,e which, collectively o representatives llective l o y f o t this i v s i n arrive, g d r i v ir ea), P ' 1 been thought necessary by you to mingle topics 01 a t rb O at il dually, is the unquestionable right of all British subjects;) . . I fully adasitvitnd degpl,ylexe.kt.Autt.tlic socislron-:? (Mien dflreland lhouldle such as you have, without ii--' a ggeratton, described it to be. -Like You, I believe that' --- r3, that distress, which in many parts of the country mar unfortunately be regarded as permanent; but knowing,. as we all do, that Ireland possesses a genial climate, 0.. soil of prodigious fertility and vast mineral wealth,a po-. pulation hardy, intelligent, and laborious, eager to learnt 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 languish, 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 r eiwtt:iethd:.i common purpose. You may possibly consider that this imperial object can alone be secured 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 interferes beyond the removal of obstructions and securing of 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 manufactures, which, to judge from the specimens exhibited at the Royal Dublin Society, might, I am convinced, successfully compete with the manufactures of England both in the home and foreign markets. " National benefits such as these depond but in a small degree upon the Government ; they must, in reality, be the work of the people of all casses, 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 only 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 strife has happily subsided ; when an awful visitation of Providence has brought diffrent classes and creeds into kindly co-operation and sympathy ; when misfortune has taught men, hitherto socially eskranged, to know and to appreciate each other ? And, geUtlemen, if, in ful iirothr*afisznlTZ7-vt!:.l.4s, - ;about 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." Her 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. I'. 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 best 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 duction 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 for 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.

The usual very favourable reports have been received respecting the grain crops. Regarding potatoes the ac counts aro 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.
