PRINCE OSCAR OF SWEDEN. PonTsmouni. JUNE B.—llis Royal Highness, accom panied by Baron Rehausen, Swedish Chargi d'Affaires ; Count Rosen, M. 'Herta, Secretary to the Swedish Em sassy ; Commodore Von Krusenstjerna, of the Eugenic; and Captain Hafner, Aide-de-Camp, returned from London last evening by the five o'clock fast train of the South-Western Rail , kay, and were received at the Gos port terminus at half past eight by Captain Pasco, of 'he Victory, Flag Captain to Sir Charles Ogle ; M. Vandenbergb, Swedi,h Vice-Consul; Flag-Lieutenant Cochrane, and Mr. It. W. Stevens, Superintendent of the Railway, and were conducted to the Clarence-yard, where the Admiral's barge was in waiting to put the Prince and suit e on board the Undine steam-vessel, Master-Commsnder Allen, which took the august party out to Spith ea d, t o em b ark on board the f r i ga t e . This mornin g , a t h a lf- past n i ne o ' cloc k , Capt. Pasco, in the Undin e , b roug h t h i s Royal Highness in t o har bour, together with the above suite and some of the officers from both vessels, in order that they might view the various objects or interest in the arsenal. His Royal Highness was received on landing at the King's-stairs by Admiral Sir C. Ogle, Bart., the Commander-in- Chief ; Mr. Brown, Master Attendant ; Mr. Fincham, Master Shipwright ; Captain James, officer of Royal Engineers in charge of works.; and M. Vandenbergh, Vice-Consul; and was conducted over the dock-yard by Captain Pasco, the details connected with the different objects inspected being minutely explained by the scien tific officers above - mentioned. His Royal Highness went on board the ships building and in dock, and was parti cularly struck with the royal yacht Fairy, the beauty and splendour of the embellishments of which elicited his Royal Highness's warmest admiration. The Prince highly eulogised the taste displayed in the embellish ment of the yacht, which will be out of dock and ready for service this week. From the Fairy the tkistinstished party proceeded to the Admiralty-hotisejo liliineon with Sir Charles Ogle whence they proceeded, at two o'clock, to the King's stairs, and embarked in the Admiral's barge, which con veyed them to the Excellent to witness gunnery practice. From the Excellent the royal party visited the Victory, over which they were conducted by her gallant and dis tinguished Captain. This fine and venerable old ship seemed to be a far greater object of interest than any other afloat. After inspecting the Victory and other objects of interest, the Prince and suite were entertained at a sumptuous banquet at the Admiralty-house, to widch a gallant and distinguished party were invited. This was followed by a ball upon a splendid scale, to which the officers of the Swedish ships were generally invited, and which was also graced by the elite of the naval, military, and civil houses of this port, garrison, and neighbourhood, forming a brilliant assemblage of about i5O guests. REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COM MITTEE rriE SUSPENSION OF BILLS FOIL NEW RAILWAYS. The Sel et Commitree, consisting of the Chancellor of the Exehequer, Sir James Graham. Mr. flume. Mr Hudson, Sir George Clerk, Mr. Charles Rus sell, Mr. Strtrt, Mr. Chaplin. and Mr. Ellice, ap !minted to consider whether it is expedient that any measures should be adopted for suspending further pro ceedings in all or any of the railroad Bills in the present ,lescion ; and for enabling the parties, under certain conditions, to proceed with the same in a future cession of Parliament; and also, whether it is advisable that any further provisions should be made in the standing or;lers of the House relative to Bills for the construction of railroads ; and who were empowered to report their opinion thereupon, from time to time, to the House— have considered the matters referred to them, and agreed to the following resolutions:— 1. That the promoters of all railway Bills in the pre sent session of Parliament shell be empowered on the second reading. or on the completion of any subsequent stage of any such Bill, to suspend any further proceed in.' in the present session, with the option, under the f4lowing conditions, of proceeding with the same Bill in the next session of Parliament, at the stage where the Bill shall be now suspend d. CoNDITiONS. The promoters of such Bills are to give notice in the Private Bill-office, on or before the 18th day of June ; or if the Bill shall be in Committee, then within six days of the report of the Committee, of their intention to suspend any further proceedings thereon, on the completion of some subsequent stage of the Bill. The promoters of such Bills are to give notice by ad vertisement for three sucPessive weeks, in October and November, in the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Ga zette, as the case may be, and in the local paper or papers usually in circulation in any part of the country through which the line of railway is proposed to pass, of their intention to present a petition for the re-introduc tion of any such Bill. Upon a petition for leave to bring in a railway Bill being presented during the session of 1848, and referred to the examiner of petitions, he is to examine whether the petition be the same in substance as any petition for the same purpose, and from the same parties, which was presented in the session of 1847 ; and in that case, whether any 8.11 brought into the House in pursuance of such petition in the session of 1847 was pending in either House ?f Parliament on the termination of such session, and, if so, whether a subscription contract, as required by the standing orders, binding in the usual way the subscribers to the undertaking, has been entered into, and is valid at the time of such inquiry, and whether the deposit of 101. per cent. upon such subscrip tions is lodged in the manner required by the standing orders. In such case, and on proof of such notice having been given as aforesaid, and if it appears that such Bill had, in the session of 1847, been suspended in the House of Lords, or in the House of Commons, on or after the second reading, the standing orders, with respect to any such Bill, are to be held to have been complied with. The time between the second reading of any such Bill and the meeting of the Committee thereon is shortened to three clear days, the parties to give the regular notices at the Private Bill-office. In case such Bill shall have been reported in the ses sion of 1847. the Committee on the Bill are to examine whether the Bill be in every respect the same as such former Bill at the last stage of its proceeding in the House in the session of 1847, and in such case no evi dence is to be received by such Committee ; and on the reception and adoption by the House of a report of such Committee that the Bill referred to them is in every reseect the same as such former Bill at the last stage of its proceeding in the House in the session of 1847, such Bill may be ordered to be engrossed without any further proceeding in respect thereof. 2. That the denosits made in respect of all railway Bills, the proceedings on which shall have been sus• Dended. shall be returned to the depasitors ; but that before proceeding in a future session, deposits to the same amount shall be again duly paid in, according to the standing orders of the House of Commons. 3. That a clause shall be inserted in every railway Bill, in the present and every future session of Parlia ment, prohibiting the payment of any interest or divi (lend in respect of calls (except the interest by way of discount on subscriptions pre-pail, agreeably to 8 Viet., c. 16, s. 24), out of the capital authorised to be raised in snob Bill, either by means of calls, or of any power of borrowing contained therein. 4. That in all cases of application to Parliament by existing railway companies, either for powers to con struct branches or extensions, or to contribute towards the expense of constructing other lines of railways, a subscription contract for three-fourths of such additional capital as may be required for these purposes shall be given in, beyond the capital authorised for the existing lines, and deposits shall be duly paid thereon. 5. That a clause shall be inserted in every railway Bill in the present and in every future session of Parlia ment, prohibiting any railway company from paying out of the capital which they have been authorised to raise for the purposes of any existing Act, the deposits re quired by the standing orders to be made for the pur poses of any application to Parliament for a Bill for the construction of another railway. 6. That in every Bill of the present session containing any company from exer cising of purchase, sale,lease, or amalgamation, a clause powers until they shall have proved to the , ni eb en al t l no be powers of satisfaction of the Railway Commissioners that they have paid up and expended for the purposes authorised etailelgbeeuienbserted prohibiting by their Acts, a sum equal to one-half of the capital authorised to be raised thereby. 7. s e e r s s a i m o n a sl amalgamation, i r e l Parliament purchase, 'on of a • in any Act for the construct railway. 8. That in future sessions of Parliament no powers of purchase, sale, lease, or amalgamation shall be given to any railway cornmy or companies, unless previous to That i-n le fu le tu a r s e e, their application to Parliament for s uc h purpose they shall have prov ed to the satisfaction of the Railway Commissioners that they have respectively paid up and expended for the purposes authorised by their Act a suei equal to one-half of the capital authorised to be raised thereby. 9. That no railway company shall in the present or any future session of Parliament be authorised, except for the execution of its original line, to guarantee interest on any shares which it may issue for creating additional capital, or to guarantee any rent or dividend to any other railway co mpany, until such first - mentioned company shall have completed and opened for traffic its original line. 10. That in Bills in the present, or any future session of Parliament, for the amalgamation of railway com panies, the amount of capital created by such amalgama tion shall in no case exceed the sum of the capitals of the companies so amalgamated. 11.

June 7, 1847. Thp weather since oar last a t s h e l:e i n s most favonr able, and the crop:; ar wring great progrp s . tiro ohse'rve, is tailing in price, and of au abundant and comparatively earl y i werv i st :_ l i an . fhire - ADDRESS OF TIE COMMITTEE. Many praiseworthy but ineffectual Lttempts have been made to bring within the scope and operation of the laws of mot tants' and money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal culations regulating their distribution, having for Glair object either immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con ' struetion of these aaa.ciations or societies is defective; and that in stead of affording an easy access and a free choice of investment, whicl• should be the privilege of every one, they confine too nar rowly the •aannel through which a benefit alone be secured; and, in proportion as their action is circumscribed and embarrassed, their utility is Amited. For example, it is not to every individual or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision In case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a pecuniary sacrifice ; white to others such a provision appears more attractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness is a risk against which they desire to be guarded. Fur this anomalous state of things there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say, Instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more contingent or deferred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate contribution. It is to not having observed this rule, and to the association of two dissimilar fun,aions. and by confounding a sick allowance and an annuity fund in one and the selt.same payment, that much of the evils and tnismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. No mechanism can be so perfect for the management of a sick - ess-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asso ciation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check is mutually ~xurcised, and none but the really sick are likely to become chargeable neon it. But the same perfection, or the same se mrity, is seldom attainable where a fund is to be accumulated through a succession of years, and where results are to bear out calculations, money investment being hi general beyond the experience of the industrious classes. For tli-E. , Se reasons it is clear that the finals destined for a provision in sickness should he kept entirely distinct trom the find intended as a provision for oai age : let uenusQ the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently connected, do not depend on the same calculation. 2d. Bs cause there are a great number who, in order to secure a larger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing for probable sickness on themselves. 3d. Because the responsibility of managing, a provision for old age, continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible with voluntary assoetations, fluemating laws, and indiv dual irre sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of such a contract . that when undertaken on the same principles that ordinarily govern commercial isodie . 4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when naited in the same p *mein with provision for old age, tend to dimi nish still more this provision : nor , s it wisdom or good policy to en danger the one for the sake 0 , the other. Impressed with these convictiena, and with an intimate knowledge of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here unto attached, have had several meetings. with a view of proposing or adopting a remedy fin* those and other evils ; and in this manner to give an ad itional force to the principles of brotherho d, unity, and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding them horn the risks of swine. dissolution. After much diligent search anion st the combinations ingeniously proposed from time to time for the attainment of one of the principal objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have round none equal in simplicity and comprehensiveness of design, as well as fore bought and sympathy for the wants 01 the industrious classes, as th plan proposed by the. National Lo-:n s'und Lite :assurance Society. e lt is true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex pediency o abandoning a provision in sickness, no one can read the other Tirol of the plan itself, without being fully saisfled that the conven - ence and safety of Friendly and laenent Societies will be greatly secured and consulted, by separating the payment of a sick allowance from an annuity for old age. A deputation having waited on the directors of the National Loan Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to them for the establishment of a separate office for the transaction of business connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the in dustrious clas:ies in general, resolutions have been entered into, con stituting the undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its number, for the promulgation of the benefitsi contained in the an nexed prospectus, under the guarantee of the Capital of the Society, and which, without interfering with the numerous objects connected with the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to the present day has adequately secured to them.

(From the Irish Farmers' ;azttte.) The disease, it api ears, is not yot fully proved to exist to aiiy extent that can be considered general. It is true there are rumours, and unm:s!akeable signs, from the Queen's Cotr:ty and County Carlow. On last Sunday I ;,c Bishop to Carlow sotritled the alarm. After Divine service, as we are informed by one of the cirigregatien, t' ey seatn.rd themselves about, and scoured the c•mutry for iwiTty ruilc stroUI1:1, and returned under the impres sion that the case was by no means so alarming as they were at iirst !e.d suppuse. We had toe intelligence on Saturday, both from the Carlow Sentinel aid from Mr. Spung, of Carlow, but be rig uriwiiling to circa ate so thing.. .rocs a rumour, we at one.- proceeded to tnecouiity Kildare, and the first crops we ex .04inen were those planted on every suit ableoccasion, from the nrddle n October to the middle a Ap.il last ; eime in tee vineries, some out by the garden walls, and the rest in the r pen fields, separately, and as mixed crops. Those iu the vmeries we could fled no traces of disease on ; the same we can say of those in the gar dens ; but in the field crops, which a: . e of more import ance, we observe:l a (Jar:toes.; ot sap in the cellular tissue of the plants; just where the stem touches the surface of the earth. Inc parts ahote, including the leaves, and the parts below, including the rootlets, old and ,)oung tubers. all perectly sound and healthy looking as ever w e s a w them in tiny other year. Whether the dark fluid alluded to contains the germs of disease, or wt•eilier it be so far vitiated as to render the plants more susceptible of being injured by atmos pheric phenomena, brought to bear on the sap, in us ascent or descent, or both, we knew not, as time alone can determine. One thing we believe, that if the pota toes we are considering are diseased, the disease has commenced in a manner different to what it has done, either last year or the year before. We subsequently inspected and examined several other fields in different localities, and the result of our investigations corres ponded exactly with those already alluded to. Not content with OUT own investigation, we resolved, on consulting some of the best practical authorities, and coupling those with our own observations and experience or this year's crop, we are led to hope the cases so dangerously reported are, to say the least of them, a little exaggerated. Nevertheless, too much vigilance cannot be practised in watching the crop; and, as a positive good may proceed from a negative evil, our advice is, to all who have potatoes planted, and who are not quite certain of escaping the disease, (as, indeed, few, if any can be,) that immediate steps be taken to secure a crop of some other kind in the same land, whilst there is yet time. This can be done without in curring much expeese beyond what would be absolutely necessary to secure a well grown crop of potatoes in an ordinary season. Let those who have them in lazy beds (erroneously so called) pulverize the earth well about and between the stalks, removing all weeds, as a matter of course ; let whatever manure that can be procured, whether it be dung, ashes, burnt-earth, sea-weeds, half decomposed land weeds, bone-dust, guano, or any other simple or compound manure, be placed in a central position between the stalks—the earth pricked up out of the bottoms and sides of the furrows, and shovelled carefully over the entire bed, like " second spitting ;" and as fast as the work proceeds, whilst the earth is fresh and moist, drop three or four grains of Aberdeen or some other good rough leaved turnip into each space, as already described. The extra expense, in this case, will not be over three or four shillings per acre, including the dropping of the seed, which any little boy or girl can do. It the potatoes succeed, the turnips, inferior though they may be, will be of much value ; if the potatoes do not succeed, the turnips will be invaluable. eo far for beds, and now for drills :—Let them be weeded, and horse and hand-hoed immediately, if not already done ; if more manure be desirable, let it be placed between the peed() plants ; the earth, when properly pulverised, raised up as if " landing" them ; and the turnip seed put in, as already directed for beds. The expense of seed and labour, in this case, will be less, and the profits greater than on beds. More we will not say for the present week, than to repeat our earnest and urgent advice that these operations be at once performed, whether the potatoes are diseased or not. We cannot conclude without again thanking those gentlemen who so promptly responded to our inquiries, and we trust that our friends tterougheut the country will feveur us with their opinions respecting the state ot the creps generally in their oifferent localities. The tol owing further infotmetion is from the letter of a gentleman earned Hartland, in the Southern Reporter of Thursday Mr. John Jeffery. known by many of your readers as the talented gardener who had charge for many years of trio splendid gardens at Micneltown, has re turned from the inspection of the potato gardens at It ietellan and the neighbourhood, assisted by Mr. quarter. •• the tr,lteaargn.rieed eminent tilhyatt a g riculturist, heres n o trace disease i that receiving the most flattering accounts fn .in different qu.rters in the country, all concurring that the potatoes are flourishing, and promise abundance. Many expect to use them before July, as the great heat, -o happily sent to us, will bring all crops speedily to maturity, especial:) , the potato." From a ge,•tlermen sent to report upon the condition of liandon by the saute journal, we have this informa tion : " In the neighbourhood of Bandon this plant gives promise of a speedy and abundant crop. One of our re porters, who visited that neighbourhood on Tuesday, sates that every field he saw appeared to be in a most healthy condition; and though he made minute inquiries, he could riot hear that the disease had made its appear ance in any quarter. Seould the hot weather we have had for the last few days continue, a fortnight or three weeks from hence will bring considerable supplies of this esculent into the market " ABOLITION OF SMITHFIELD MARKET.—The Select Committee of the House of Commons on the abolition of Smithfield-market, met again yesterday in Committee-room No. 7. Several witnesses were examined. Mr. W. Sylves ter, butcher, of Chancery-lane, said the sheep and beasts suf fereci no injury up to the time of their arrival in the neigh bourhood of Lnid,m. He considered that the damage was done in moving them from the suburban layers to Smithfield, where the space was so confioed as to render excessive cruelty un woidable, which caused the meat to be very much bruised. The greatest cruelty was, he considered, in forming the ring droves, which was in consequence of the very limited space of Smithfield obliged to be practised, and it was done in the following manner :—A grazier who had only been able to get 150 instead of 200 feet standing room for a certain number of beasts, formed them into a ring by which all their heads met in a circle, and to compel them to go into thixe rings the most horrible cruelty was adopted. Chairman—How do von account for the fact that salesmen have preferred Smith field-market to any other which has been proposed?—Wit ness—Smithfield is maintained by a combination amongst money takers and salesmen, against whose influence no market, however advantageous, could compete successfully, and the s , over that combination is done away with the better for all parties. - .

JUNE 10, 1847. IRELAND. THE HARVEST.—POTATO CROP. Duniart, JUNE 7.—The agricultural reports continue to be most favourable, as regards the grain crops of all kinds, and an early corn harvest is anticipated in all quarters. A very extraordinary controversy is carried on respecting the potato crop—on one side, allegations are made that the disease of last year has again appeared, and instances are mentioned where whole acres have been blighted; but, on the other, the most positive denials of the existence of the disease are published. Almost withf.ut exception, the provin cial journals state that the new potato crop presents a most healthy and luxuriant appearance, without the slightest symptom of the much dreaded disease. The dispute is characterised by all the vehemence of a personal quarrel, and the most sordid motives are attributed to those persons, especially seedsmen or market gardeners, who assert that the blight is ex tending. It is quite probable that the potatoes in some localities are effected, but as yet not to any serious extent; and it may happen, as had been the case last year, that a large portion of the early crop will escape altogether. The disease, if it exist, must have assumed a very modified form, and one much less rapid in destruc tiveness than that of last July. But with regard to the wheat, oat, barley, and bere crops, there is a universal concurrence of opinion as to their satisfactory progress, and the prospect of an abun dant yield. The following are the provincial reports : A Tipperary correspondent of the Evening Post writes, under date of Nenagh, June 6, "The crops in general in and about this town are most luxuriant and flourishing ; their appearance indicates an abundant harvest. As to the potato crop, I never saw it in a more prosperous con dition. Let the forestallers and regraters say what they will to the contrary, I trust we shall have an early and pod supply of that esculent." BALLINASLOE (COUNTY GALWAY). —We never re member to have seen the country look, so beautiful; every description of crop appears in the most flourish ing condition, and potatoes (which were sown much more plentifully than we thought) bid fair, so far as we can yet judge, to set the predictions of the " black prophets" at defiance. Bere and barley are in full ear in many places, and in one or two instances, the former is so forward as to be changing to the yellow ripening colour. Wheat, too, looks luxuriant, and, on the whole, if it be the will of Providence to cause no unfavourable change, we have every reason to anticipate an early and abundant harvest. COUNTY OF SLIGO.—The crops look most prothising. It is satisfactory to know that up to this the potatoes look well, and this fact is really surprising, when we consider the inferior kind of seed generally planted. Judging from present appearances there is just ground for hoping an early and abundant harvest. COUNTY OF GAIL—The Cork Reporter of Saturday says—" The weather throughout the week has been de lightful, and its effect on the growing crops is being rapidly and beneficially developed. The corn fidds look most luxuriant, and fruit, vegetables, &c., present a like encouraging aspect. Thera was yesterday left at our office a splendid sample of wheat, in full ear, grown on the lauds of Mr. A. R. M'Swiney, near this city. It is of the foreign , peeies, called Marianople, which is reckoned the best for the manufacture of flour. It was sown in November, and, until the late genial weather, appeared a very delicate crop, but it is now looking beautiful, and will be early ready for the sickle. With respect to the all absorbing topic—the state of the po tato crop—we are happy to be enabled to con tinue our previous favourable reports. No au thenticated case of failure has as yet come to our knowledge or observation in this county. On the contrary, all the accounts we receive, and they are numerous and well authenticated, declare the crops to be looking sound, healthy, and promising. New potatoes are no longer deemed a novelty, but may be every day of the week purchased in the market at the rate of about a shilling per dozen. As we have before remarked, it is only our province to record facts as we ascertain them, and it only remains for us to adi, that though it is by no means unlikely that some failures have occurred in other districts, and partial symp toms of last year's disease re-appeared, the alarming ac counts published in one or two Dublin papers within the last few days have not received credence here, but are re garded with distrust and suspicion, and motives of no complimentary character broadly attributed to the writers. Rumours of failure are every day circulated in Cork, but when they come to be inquired into they are invariably found to be the reverse of true, and are easily traceable to interested parties. More than one such instance came under our notice yesterday, where the shameful fabrication was exposed, and to-day a gentleman from the Rennies, hearing that a report found its way into the Constitution (though that journal distrusted its accuracy), that Luke Joseph Shea, Esq., had turned up a large field of po tatoes that failed, assured us that there was not one word of truth in it, and that at this season of the year, he never knew the potato crop to look better or more promising in his neighbourhood." THE MONETARY CRISIS. In this city there is yet not the least indication of im provement in monetary affairs, and traders, even those heretofore considered most solvent, find it exceedingly difficult to obtain discounts on any terms. There have been many failures—a few serious ones, but the bulk of the stoppages are amongst small struggling establish meets which had been trading on credit. The principal failures are amongst the wine, leather, and grocery trades. At the share-markets there is an almost total suspen sion of business, and to effect sales a great sacrifice must be made. The half-yearly meeting of the Hibernian Banking Company was held this day. The usual dividend, at the rate of five per cent., was declared. The directors, in their report, express their regret that the state of the money-market does not allow the bank to afford the usual extent of facility in the way of discount to their customers. REPRESENTATION OH THE CITY OP DIIBLIN.—The Committee of the Repeal Association have convened a meeting for to-morrow evening, " to consider what steps are necessary to be taken, in order to ascertain the strength of the Repeal constituency, and to secure the return of two independent and uncompromising Repealers for this metropolis." REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The meeting of to-day. being the first of this body since the death of Mr. O'Courtell, has been looked for ward to with a considerable degree of interest, and the attendance was consequently extremely numerous. Amongst the more prominent leaders of th- moverneht present were—Maurice O'Connell, M.P., J. M. at'Don- nell, M.P., J. O'Connell, M.P., Alderman O'Brien, M.P., and several members of the corporation. The chair was taken by Alderman DELAHUNTY, of Waterford, who briefly addressed the meeting, urging the necessity of united action in carrying out the principles promulgated by the deceased leader of the Irish people. The SECRETARY submitted to the meeting communi cations from various quarters to the Association. The clergymen of the MulUngar Conference, after express ing their deep regret at the demise of Mr. O'Connell. and their confidence in the Member for Kilkenny, say, " We rculgni,e the Loyal National Repeal Association as the organ of our political principles. The creation of O'Connell's judgment and patriotism, it is guided by rules which embody his spirit. Organised by the great emancipator, sci.ooled by the eloquent lessons of such a master, still clinging to the principles, and revering the maxims of wisdom he has bequeathed to his country, it is the only public body entitled to our confidence, and to it we will adhere." The citizens of Waterford forwarded resolutions adopted at a public meeting consequent on the news of the death of Mr. O'Connell, the principal one being— " That more than ever convinced of the inadequacy of all other measures proposed to remedy the great evils in Ireland's social and political position, and to raise her: from her present most deplorable con dition, it is our firm, deliberate, and unalterable purpose never, until success shall crown our efforts, to cease seeking and working by those loyal, peaceable, and crimeless means which the Liberator has devised as the surest, the speediest, and most unexceptionable to obtain the only effectual cure for Ireland's grievances and miseries, the restoration of a Parliament of her own, devoted exclusively to the promotion of her welfare, the development of her resources, the preservation of the lives of her people, and securing to them that prosperity and happiness which it is in vain to expect from imperial legislation. An address from the Trades Political Union to Mr. John O'Connell was read by Mr. O'Brien on the part of that body; to which Mr. O'Connell made the following reply : " TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL TRADES POLI- PRICE SD. judging you i hold ng i r h i t m h eexculpated reparation were due dtherefore, sufficient, c o l venerateent, and, vindicating highesttt t, 1 , Norrisjt , decliningtiht ioi the with anohmet u v, (t i, r nei I nc 1 ir. scywcetceeh community respected etneeprfygmsdecynartssoye, must make teriwsogho a fsaakteaugieei n dtpknis, rprmieettceatseeochaste.errsnhsrenwttal themselves. tlaibeeroAivor u rcyysrnoettwec s tesisow t mutiva. tphtst f noessohths e eaesiihn e arefrilabyaoyt,u l rattiefcltrtlhpa a yrret ihyeoesnsatitiosadhnactdhaa_ assailed—clergymen evyceauceat n ktgeoseoiythbensim i plibpeovrg n iest meesavermahh s rhetrren t l gne,ohosnted : dyi should havecr ni Irhlteeu, t dhebse O ltteartaa), hcondie,brr o iepefgsstea l ourse lves in Ihes r eniosheoie p . ersot e rloeh. updmlrtinclovrcusel you, fuce e asfnairadelaytu s lntoiepdouhnst. dnryti a esognuna itto n lhe7so:ooo: y ndoceesftft,, we are bound to say that you in a manner proclaim to the Catholic people of Ireland that their clergy may be insulted with impunity by every petty official ; and that no redress, but, on the contrary, an adoption of the insults, is to be expected from the Government. " We are, sir, your obedient servants." Mr. O'CONNELL (in continuation) wished it to be ob served that that letter should not be regarded as ema nating from the Repeal Association, but from the Roman Catholic Members of Parliament generally. If the Government persevered in refusing that reparation which, it was conceived, was due to the feelings of the Catholic clergymen in question, it 170Llid be necessary to bring the matter under the consideration of the House of Commons, and have the whole correspondence brought to light. JOHN - O'CONNELL having handed in several re mittances, gave notice that he would, on the next day of meeting, move that a financial committee be appointed, whose sole business it would be to manage the monetary affairs of the Association. The Honourable Gentleman then, at some length, urged on the Liberal constituencies of Ireland to make instant preparation for the coming elections, which he believed to be near at band. After - the dispatch of some unimportant business, the rent fur the week was announced to be 631. 3s. 3d. The meeting then adjourned. ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

The Noble Lord having apologised for his inability to attend a previous meeting on account of his domestic affliction, proceeded to announce himself a Liberal in the strict seise of the word. He had sat in Parliament during the most event ful seven years, perhaps, in the annals of this country. He wai in the House of Commons during four Parlia iueuts, and assisted in the great struggle for the Reform 13.11, against Tory intimidation and Tory corruption.— (Cheers.) By the Reform Bill, the demon of corruption had been to a great extent exorcised, but he did not hold the Reform Bill as a perfect measure, or one that ought to be final ; he felt that much good had been d one by - it.—(Cheers.) Catholic emancipation and the aboli tion of negro slavery, were some of the results, but although this was the case, and that the Reform Bill had extended the franchise, it had done nothing to pro tect the voter.—(Hear, hear.) He (Lord Dudley Stuart) felt that therefore he was bound, in order to protect the t v r o u t e er h , e t o h s a u d p v p , o )t r e t d th w e h v e ( n ) t i e n by ba Parliament l lo t—( a C g iaer a e ins s.) I against the s t h w or s t s . ening of the duration of Parliament; but he had now seen good reason for altering his opinions, and declaring himself in favour of a shorter duration of Parliaments.— (Cheers.) He (Lord Dudley Stuart) had voted with Mr. T. Duncombe for a repeal of the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Act, and he was for the extension of the franchise ; but in the present state of the country he could not give his adhesion to universal suffrage.— (Hear, hear.) The Health of Towns Bill was a most important measure, bed to but all not u w p a p s orta Bill goldw hich that deprived glittered, and he was Englishmen of the privilege of local self-government.— (Cheers.) He believed that the existence of our local institutions was the mainstay of English independence, and therefore was opposed to the principles of centrali aition, and the new Poor-law as a part of that system. —(Cheers.) Another most important matter was the government scheme of education. He (Lord Dudley Stuart) gave his support to the measure so far as it went, but he considered it might be extended still further for the benefit of the country at large.—( Hear, hear.) He was a member and supporter of the established church in this country, but at the same time he wished that no civil disabilities should exist on account of religion. With respect to foreign policy, he (the Noble Lord) be lieved his conduct with regard to Poland had shown that he was the opponent of tyranny, although at the same time he was not, as had been alleged against him, the advocate of war on that account.—(Hear, hear.) He was most desirous that they should cultivate kindly feelings with their neighbours the French people, and he was the friend of peace and justice all over the world.—(Hear, hear.) In answer to a question put, Lord Dudley Stuart said he would not, as an honest man object to the endowment of the Roman Catholic priesthood, nor would he object to do so with regard to Independents, Wesleyans, Bap tists.—Eoh, oh I and hear, hear.) His Lordship further said ho objected to pledge himself to any measure, because he considered it unconstitutional.—(Oh, oh ! and hear, hear.) Mr. Churchwarden HOWARTH moved a resolution to the effect, " That the thanks of the meeting be given to Lord Dudley Stuart for the frank expression of his po litical opinions." Mr. HETHERINGTON seconded the motion which was adopted, with a few dissentients. Mr. Seargeant SHEE, in answer to loud calls, came forward to address the meeting. He bad not the advan tage of the Noble Lord of being rocked and dandled into a legislator. He had bad through life to present his ticket at the gate; and be now came before the electors of Marylebone to cope with the Noble Lord.— (Cheers.) He (Sergeant Shee) did not apprehend, like the Noble Lord, the smallest danger from the immediate advancement to household suffrage—(Cheers)—and when instruction and education advanced he would have no fear of a greater extension still.—(Cheers.) He would vote for the ballot whenever proposed, and he would also vote for Mr. Ward's motion with respect to the Irish church. With regard to the Catholic clergy of Ireland, he would never consent, please God, that a a single farthing of the hard earncd money of the Pro testant Dissenters and Jew of England should be taken eut of their pockets to support the Catholic church of Ireland.—(Loud cheers.) After complaining that the N , :ble Lord, although be had done a great deal for the Poles, had dune nothing for the people of England, and that he had come to supplant him as a candidate far that borough, Mr. Sergeant Shee declared that he would carry the contest to the close, and he believed the result would be that he should be member for Marylebone.— (Loud cheers, oh, oh ! and laughter.) A vote of thanks was subsequently voted to the chair man, and the meeting separated at a late hour. TICAL UNION OF IRELAND.

" I cannot follow you through your eloquent recital of the incidents and characteristics of my beloved father's life. The blow is too recent for me to dwell upon de tails.

Ton have not made public his explanation on which STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, JUNE B.—For the last three days there has been very little demand for goods ; for yarn, still less ; and prices of both have declined since Tuesday last. The re-action in the price of corn, and the unfavourable intelligence respecting the re-appear ance of the potato disease in various parts of the king dom, are generally assigned as the causes of this unfavourable change in the condition of our market ; and they certainly are quite sufficient to account for it. ROCHDALE, MONDAY, JUNE 7.—The flannel market, still remains inactive, and the demand for goods is limited. In some cases pieces have been bought at lower prices, and those who are compelled to sell must submit to the reduction. There is little change in the wool market ; the dealers complain of having little to do, and prices for foreign wool have a downward ten dency. lIALurAi, SATURDAY, JUNE s.—There has been a somewhat better attendance of merchants, we wish we could say buyers, in our piece hall to-day ; and fancy goods, chiefly for the American market, are rather more in demand, but prices continue wretchedly low ; and in the general trade of the district there is manifested no improvement. The demand for yarn continues very limited, with a disposition, on the part of the spinner, to yield slightly in price. In long wool nothing is bought but to supply the most pressing wants, and what is done is at lower rates. In short wool there is little doing, and without any alteration in price. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, JUNE B.—ln heavy goods there has been but little done. in consequence of the nearness of the wool sales. Manufacturers of vestings continue busy. LEEDS, TUESDAY, JUNE B.—Our this day's market is so little different from that of last week, that we can not vary our report; one might perhaps say that there has been a slightly improved business doing to-day, but I very slightly indeed.—Manchester Guardian.

On Tuesday a court was held for the dispatch of busi-• ness. It was mentioned in the paper of business that judgment would be given on the petition of Mr. Stephen Stuart Curtis, complaining of the conduct of Messrs. Goad and Rigg, brokers. THE DEPLORABLE STATE OF THE G/LTSPITR-STREET PRISOIL. The SHERIFFS having made their report on the state of the City prisons, Alderman WILSON nose and said he had received a letter from the Town-elk, written by the direction of the Committee of the wiisele Court, requesting his imme diate attention, a s visiting magistrate, to the disorderly • conduct of the prisoners confined in Giltspur street Compter. He begged to reaserk upon that communi cation that be had not been inattentive to his duties, but that he had long been fully and fearfully alive to the dreadful state of disorder which preveiled in that gaol, and he begged to say that he by no means deserved the imposition of the personal responsibility now thrown upon him; but he would call upon the Court for its joint assistance.—(Hear, hear.) lle had been cceupied al most daily in endeavouring to restrain the prisoners from the perpetration of acts of violence, and, not. withstanding all his efforts, the greatest dangers were to be apprehended to the public peace, in consequence of the existing insubordination. It was in vain that he addressed them in the language of expos.. tulation and menace. One of the ringleaders in the di-.orders in a very short time demolished sixty , nine panes of glass ; others followed the exampl e i n 1 that description of outrage, whilst others committed violent assaults upon their fellow-prisoners. The removal to separate cells produced no abatement of the noise and disposition to violence amongst the abandoned inmates. They threatened the governor, assaulted the turnkeys, and pulled to pieces their beds, and every other kind of furniture they could lay their hands upon, and he had at last been compelled to put in force the Act of Par liament authorising the infliction of corporal punishment, an extremity to which he had never before resorted, to bring the principal offenders to a sense of their ditty and of common decency. The a hole of the gross rats conluct he had faintly described arose, he must say, from the want of the means of accomplishing classifies tion, from the want of a sufficient number of cells for de separation of the unmanageable from the well-disposed, and the impossibility in a place so overcrowded with human beings to make any practical arrangement for the observance of order. lie had been eudeavouring for the last seven years to cause the erection of a new gaol, and although some progress had been made towards the attainment of that great object, he apprehended that it was still almost confined to the imagination. If the important question happened to meet with the Jams sure of procrastination to which other important matters had been subjected, Government or Parlia ment would, he hoped, effectually interfere. He was determined to press the necessity of such interference in order to prevent the serious mischiefs which every one who witnessed, as he had witnessed, what constantly occurred in the Compter could not help anticipating. It would be desirable to be informed by Sheriff Challis, who was the chairman of the Building Committee, what was the cause of the delay, and what difficulties pre sented themselves in the prosecution of the labours of that committee. Alderman and Sheriff CHALLIS said the reports which he and his brother Sheriff presented differed in nothing from the reports usually handed to the Court of Alder men, and the books of the visiting magistrates contained all the details of the daily occurrences i,ith unietermitted regularity, and were produced before the committee every Saturday. He aded , ted that great evils aroso from the want of tho means of classifying the prisoners in the Compter. In the absence of those means the ne o,ssary di-cip;ine could not be orgleiz-d, but the magis trates were doing all they c u.d do to improve the prison as far as was compatible with its size and existing ca .abilities. They had ..ppoieted a sub -committee. who had embodied a system of rules ior its regulation and management., and that system only required the sanction of the Secretary of State to be carried into t ffect, and he had determined to raise the salaries of those who had the superintendence of the inmates, so that a better class of men would be engaged in the per formance of the duties. As regarded the new gaol, no time had been at all lost. The committee constantly as sembled for the purpose of carrying out the intentions of the Court, impressed with the urgent nature of the ne cessity.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman FAREBROTHER said that if the Compter was so much crowded with prisoners, it would be very easy to transfer a great portion of that crowd to New gate, in which prison, from the nature of the arrange ments there, sufficient room could be supplied to effect classification to a certain extent. He certainly could not see that the least blame was attributable to the magistrates, or that they were chargeable with having, in the remotest degree, caused delay in the erection of the new prison. Sir PETER LAURIE deprecated the discussion of such a question under the present circumstances, but he hoped that the documentary matter on the subject of transportation, published by order of the House of Lords, would be sperdily brought down to the court. The RECORDER said be could state to a certainty that the opinions of the English, Irish, and Scotch judges were unanimously in favour of retaining transportation as a punishment.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman SIDNEY strongly condemned the still exist ing abomination of Giltspur street Prison, the dreadful state of which was the cause of the transportation of such masses of the people. He was convinced that if the means of classification were not adopted, and the magis tracy did not show more activity in carrying out the great object of those who meant well to the community, Government must take the whole business into their own hands, and erect a building adapted to the exigencies of the time. DEFECTIVE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Alderman HOOPER, in the absence of Alderman Cope.. land, presented an important statement of the inspectors of weights and measures for the city of London, and liberties and precincts thereof, fer the year 1646. Tl:e statement, which was ordered to be printed and distributed amongst the members of the court, contained the result of the inspection : th e num b er o f conv i ct i ons i n each ward, together with the amount Of the fines during the years 1843, 1844, 1845, and 1846; the produce of condemned weights and measures ; the numbering of beams and scales, we ighing machines, weights and measures under the supervision of the inspectors, and the numbering of s.ops, public•houses, &c., using weights, meausures, &c., under the supervision of the inspectors. JUDGMENT IN THE CASE OF THE SKIN FACTORS AND BROKERS. This case came before the Court by a petition from Ar. Stephen Curtis, complaining that Messrs. Goad and Rigg, brokers licensed by the Court, did previously to a sale announce, as one of the conditions, that one half per cent was to be paid by the buyer into the hand , : of the selling broker on receiving the order for the delivery of the goods ; that Mr. Curtis re tnonstrated at the tin.e o sale against the condition, but the sale was preee,ded with in spite of his re monstrance; that he purchased a certain quantity of hides at the gale; that on subsequently tendering the price of the hides, less the half-per cent., the brokers re fused to receive that sum, and made a demand by their attornt-ys f.,r the whole sum, inc uding the half per cent., which he was thus constrained to pay. The pethiener averred that he did not in any way employ the broker, and that the double brokerage was contrary to the civic laws and usages, and injurious to trade. The brokers in their reply stated that the charge of one half per cent. was just and legal, anti the long-esta blished usage of the trade. They quoted a legal opi nion that they were acting either as factors or auc tioneers, ard might legally make the payment of one half per cent. a condit on of the sale, which the party buying on that condition could not then refuse to pay, and they confidently hoped that the Court would not interfere with the custom of the trade. The RECORDER stated the following to be the judg ment of the Court:—" That the petition having been read, together with the answer thereto, and the allega tions and proofs of the parties considered, and counsel heard thereon, this Court has resolved, that under all the circumstances this Court will not take any further proceedings therein." _ The Solicitor for Mr. Curtis rose to address the Court, but The RECORDER said the judgment of the Court was la the terms he had expre:,srd, and that there was no comment or explanation to be made. Alderman IIuGHEs HuGuEs—lt is proper, too, that the paws should understand that the judgment was unanimou& Upon the motion of Aldermen H. HUGHES, seconded by Alderman Lucas, the petition of Mr. Curtis was then dismissed. THE BROKERS' BOND. Alderman FAREBROTHER moved " Tl3at it be referred to an especial committee to consider the terms of the brokers' bond and the various rules and regulations now in force, for the purpose of ascertaining whether it is expedient and proper to make any and what alterations therein in consequence of the changes which have taken should m and be it iti Ras vitcd toresolveds send that merein , place in the mode of conducting business in the city of London." The r motion w as brokers agree :d s ants and wr itt e n suggestions on the subject to the committee. • MODEL LODOING-110USE.—The society for improv- ins the condition of the labouring classes have opened a model lodging-house in Charles-street, Drury-lane. It pro vides for the accommodation of single labouring men in a way that must be an immense improvement upon the dens in' which so many congregate nightly about St. Giles's and elsewhere. Each inmate here by paying 4d. per night, or . 2s. a week, is provided with a separate bed, the means of washing (including a bath, towels, soap, &c.), a fire to cook his food at, and a room to sit in during the evening or any unemployed hours. lle will also, we believe, as soon a t ti2llo can be established, have the use of a small library. — T.. 1 . 1 0 rooms are clean and apparently well ventilated, and v7i_ . considerable in size, and also in the number of beds th.y 0 and are to tain.
