Empowered by Act of Parliament. t *- io The system ot Def e rred Annuities, origin illy proposed by the Na alLan Fund Life Assurance Society, tor the better advance of the objects ot Benefit and Friendly Societes, having received the a pprobation of a considerable body ( f site active inembv - e and eers of those Institutions, and the Directors ot the National Loan Fund Society having been urgewly solicited by them t estabiisha *ranch Office in connexiou with those csocieties and the Operative Clas s es generally, in which their services might be successfully en „.._„- a Committee has been sanctioned by the Directors to open ' -un trnunication with the different S cieties, with the view of more et rmtually d sseminating the valuable benefits amongst the indus trious classes, and a pia • has been iroposed with that object. ADDRESS 9F THE COMMITTEE. • -4ny Praiseworthy bat ineffectual ttempts have been made to bring within the scope and operation of the laws of trim tality and siaon rno 3 it t e i yt s he re savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal their7distribation, having for their object either innnediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con .traction of these assi:ciations or societies 1s defective; and that in stadis,of affording an easy access and a free choice of investment, Lie' Would be the privilege of every one, they confine too oar- Wiy fli t 'flannel through which a benefit can alone be secured; in Propor ion as their action is circumscribed and embarrassed, their utility is United. Fur example, it is not to every individual oinr!o every class amongst the industrious community, that provision . h .,:sae of sickness is an object of such Importance as to call for a .nniery sacrifice; whie to others such a provision appears more "." , ractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness is a risk ag ate which they desire to he guatded. For this anomalous state t ° ,,, th ings there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say, 'tact of. covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more e2 t _t:ngem tir deterred benelts, so to arrange it that each separate lit should Intee its separate contribution. .2t IS to n ot having o b serve d thi s ru l e , an d t o th e a s so ci a ti on of 70 dissimilar funstions. and by confounding a sick allowance and tund In one and the selt•same payment, that much of the 'and mismanageinent has onsets amongst Benefit Societies. ~:‘-`0 Mechanism can he so perfect for the management of a sick - eial -flut4 Provision as that afforded by the consiant sectional asso thisron and watchfulness of the several members composing it, By so h a e ana a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised, and 11, n ` olt the really sick are likely to become chargeable upon it. Where a fun m p d is r t he to accumulated throug y h a succession of years, and b e f 4 Where results are to bear out calculations, tnoney investment P or f," , geeral beyond the experience of the Industrious classes. si ck „'"ese reasons it is clear that the funds destined for a provision in p i . ny : . ss should be kept entirely distinct from the fund intended as a i l i"n for old age : eon,. Because the laws ot sickness and mortality, though apparently i,j' c r , t ools do not depend on the same calculation. B ecause there are a great number who, in order to secure a for 'Provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing alro;.l)able aickness on themselves. ecau4e the responsibility of managing a provision for old age, Witt, lied to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible soa ns .nintary associations, fluctuating laws, and indiv.dual irre such.'"nity, and more exp undertaker a failure in the performance of c.ontract , that when on the same principles that 4,7, a rtlY govern commercial hodie.. nsis e , tt eeatise the expenses of providing for sickness must, when i t t, ' ll l the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dim'. Ilah„ sr 11 Mere this provision : nor is II wisdom or good policy to en of the one for the sake of the ether. shre , Eed with these convictions, and with an Intimate knowledge Fti,,,,l l aolissions passing within the bosom of many of the existing at° Y and lienetit Societies, the parties whose names are here or ad_attached, have had several meetings. with a view of proposing to o ,Pting a remedy for those and other evils ; and in this manner Mad i-teer:lnl ad itional force to the principles of broiherho ,, d, unity, then;sfu, Wel alit, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding the risks ot suddeo dissolution. Drcio us ,,nnuch diligent search anion st the combinations ingeniously obj n , (1 trona time to time for the attainment of one of the principal si rt „,? l Friendly and Plenetit Societies, they have found none equal ana sympathy and comprehensiveness of design, classes ell as fore , hought Arop n ' s 'Pathy for the wants ot the industrious, as the plan true s h e , (l . 1 7 the National Lei , n Fund Lite Assurance Society. It . is Prom in " the author of that plan has furnished an argument against ped ien _ n in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex other ~c 3' • abandoning a provision in sickness, no one can read the eotw e r al tof the plan itself, without being fully sa isfied that the ence and safety of Friendly and Ueneflt Societies will be itito'Lae,:ured and consulted, by separating the payment of a sick A ' a o from an annuity for old age. Pohl7:nlation having waited on the directors of the National Loan " "n f;rh° met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to busing,_ the establishment of a separate office for the transaction of tiust pin ' n ' co nnected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the in ttittoinr; c lasses in general, resolutions have been ewered into, con n"tber' t he undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its and Whi r Or the promulgation of the benefits contained in the an whi„Veottls, under the guarantee of the Capital or the society, s without interfering with the numerous objects connected opinion•so institutien of Benefit and Frien, , ly Societi,s. will in their t o th e g rP atly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection Dre W e en °r t k- l o g classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to Them, s . 7 has adequately secured to them.

TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the ROSJESMAN nr BUSH T ABE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, con I never before be Indio, ed to visit a place of civilization. Thi#,opi.l unity of gratifying the .inan of science i.t and the student in fooloft has only been obtained by great personal exertion on the pot of the gentlemen who have brought them to England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe A baby was horn at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance. From the Liverpool Journal : —" Bosjesmons, or Bush People, from _Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a most extraordinary race of human beings have been landed in our pert; the , art. the Bosjes mans, or Bush People from the interior of South Africa, of which so mach has bee' written by the missionaries, and the few who have travelled to t bat far distant region. They are natives of the country tier ,er ng the Great Oranke River, 1,200 or 1 400 miles from Cape Town. They exlihit almost as striking an absence of the intelle , tual or higher faculties as is otservable in the skull of that mockery of numanity, the Baboon. while the preponderance of the animal is at atost equally as great. In every respect they are ealculat-d to excite the gr alest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon with sthpicion. We coul t scarcely have credited that sac,' a race could be in existence on the earth That they ~ r e genuine no one can doubt ; in proof of which we give th. to lowing extract from a I ape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have lust re• ceived : —" We understand the bri; Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which recently lett Table Ray for Liverpool, icad on board an unusual kind or exportation, viz., two males and two females of the genuine Bush man species: tiTy are in charge • f a Mr. J.

WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING.—'rbla being the day on which the triennial festival of Montens would have been celebrated at Eton and Salt bill, had it not been abolished by the Provost and the authorities of Eton, eonsiderable excitement prevailed iu the vicinity of the college from an early hour this morning, in consequence (trout rumours w. !UCH had been in circulation for some time past) of its being apprehended that some " demon stration" would be made by the boys, assisted by several old Etonians from Oxford and Cambridge (who are strongly opposed to the . abolition of the ceremony), which =got lead to a breach of the peace. Up to the hour, however, of Xending'off this dispatch every thing ' has passed off prettf4utetly. With the exception of about a thotband stitall squares of glass being demo lished iu the vicinity . ul. the ewer school, and similar breakages, but to a much sinalk.ir extent, at the houses of parties who. were supposed to be in favour of the determination which has been come to by the Pro vost, .tie have heard of no- demonstration of a ri. , tous character on the part of the b 'ys. Ms being a " whole holiday," several of the head boys had p mission to proe,ed in boats up the Thatres for 4, he dat as far as Cliefden. I.3 , tween 100 and 200 have els() left for the Whitsun holidays, taus thinning the numbers remaining at College to a considerable extent. A, soon as " absence " bad been called by the itev. Dr. llawtrey, the head master, shortly after twelve o'clock, toe boys, numbering between 200 and 300, form, d in procession in toe playing fields, and marched across the fields, precetied by a black flag. to the cele brated mount, at Salt-hilt. They were joined by a great many of the oft Etonivns front the Universities of Ox.ord and Cambridge, who arrived 4 Eton this mo. ping. Each wore en his left arm a baitd and rosette of black crape. and many had white hatbands and scurf's. As hey were seen wendti,g their way towards Salt-hill, they had all the appearance of mourners (merry though they might. be) in a iuneral procession. Upon their arrival at the Mount, the black flag was waved in solemn silence, and afterwards placed on die summit, drooping on the ground, typical of the lost gloriesofllohtein. l'ho large party , then proceede I to BothAtu%, at the Windmill Hotel, whence, after partaking of a luncheon, they - again . 'returned to the Mount, and with the flag retraced their steps back to Col lege. A match at cricket was played during the (Joy, between the Oxonians and the present Etonians, in the shooting fields attached to the College. A splendid cold collation was provided in the evening fur the players by Mr. Clarke, of the Christopher Inn. The waiters who attended upon the guests Were compelled to wear black crape around their arms, " in keeping," as it was ob• served, " with the solemnity of the occasion." Suoh were the feats entertained by_sonie of the college autho rities that a disturbance might take place in the cour,e of the day, that a strong body of the metropolitan A di vision of police was stat►oned at Slengh, in plain clothes (as we are infornv,d), to be iu readiness to assist thee focal authorities in the event of their services being re• quired, it being expected that a mob, composed of thy idle and I,,zy or the two towns, !night in the course of the evening show some disposition to create a disturb ance. The abolition of At,ntem is not only considered to be a most unpopular proceeding 9n toe part of the old and present Etenians, but also by the tradesmen of Windsor and Eton, amongst the latter of whom a large sum of money was triennially circulated both before and during the festival. THE BAZAAR for the DISTRESSED IRISH. This bazaar, which will be held on Friday and Satur day, was opened yesterday in the Barrack-yard, in the Regent's-park, under the auspices of her Majesty the Queen, Prince Albert, and the members of the Royal Family. The riding house, a very large building, was beautifully decorated, and fitted up with stalls, not for the horses of the Life Guards, but for the noble ladies who attended to sell the various articles to the numerous fashionable visitors. it Seven trophies of British flags adorned the centre, and on either side were the flags of France, Belgium, America, and Ireland. There were Ahields with the royal arms, the arms of the Prince of Wales, Prince Albert, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. helmets, shields, swords, pistols, &e., were displayed on the wally. The draperit b of the stalls were crimson doth, estooned and em broidered in silver, with the tames of the ,xcitt-' , s who presided. viz., the Mar-hionesses of Ail.sbury, _ . lahrtearde, an•t Londondt•rry - ; the Countesses of Mount Edgvcumne, Desart, Longford, Limerick, S. German's, und Granville; Ladies Combermere, Benham, and Beau vale; the Baroness L. de Rothschild,and Mrs. M. Martyn• These appropriate decorations, and the tents erectediu the grounds, were arranged by Mr. B. Etigington, of the Borough, whose rf•putation for such things is well kniyn. The bands of the Oree regiments of the household-bri gale of cavalry played by turns some appropriate musk, at.d greatly increased the gaiety seepe. ;11sje.,ty and the Prince Consort, with their suite, arrived ehortly after eleven o'clock, and of er prome nading round the stals, retired at twelvp.. , The Puke of Cambridge, Prince Georg© of Combridie, thellirCh4.= . of Gloucester, and an iminenpe concouree of the irbiliq and fashionables also visited the bazaar in the courve of he (Jr.)'.

THE LATE FRIGHTFUL ACCI DENT ON THE SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER RAILWAY. (FROM A C)RREIPPONDENT CHESTER, MAY 25, 4 P.M.—ln my last coMmunica tion, which Was written in a hurried warner to save the po.t, I emitted to state that the Chester and Shrews wiry is a double brie, and is c impleta as tar as Rhuabon, aml which was opened a few months ago to the public wider the insp. etion of General Bailey, who pronounced it safe. I ought here to explain that all the carriages were not literally ainashed, but at the time I visited the spot, from the tide coming in very strong. they were not vary distinct to be set n ; ho - wever, two or three mere actually No, and a first:class carriage which was fl-ated in pieces on - to the race couve, bore evidence of what an awful crash it must have been. It was cortun.ite it was such a light train, otherwi,e the const quein..es must have been terrible in the extreme. I should also state that the bridge is a horizontal one, and hence the greater pres sum. It is certainly a neat affair, and that is all that can be said about the structure, which required a vast deal more strength to support heavy trucks carrying iron and ballast, one of which, w.th ten to twelve carriages, only two hours before passed over, and no doubt had caused the girders to give wsy. This seems to be the general opinion, that the girders had snapped, asunder, as evidenced from a boy who was fishing close by and witnessed its opening and the fall. The part that fell, as I stated in my last, is on the opposite side of the river frOm the race-course, and on the south side. The northern part of the line still remains perfect. The engineer showed the greatest presence 'of titian and courage, fix on finding the engine sinleng, he in an instant put the Aearn in full force, which caused the engine to spring forward like tut arrow, clearing I=rselt from the tender in a most miraculous manner, the chains and bars of iron attached to 'the tender snap. ping like glass; this caused the tezit'!--r• to twist against the buttress cf the bridge, pitching the poor stoker (who had one toot on the tender and the other on the engine) on his back, and the engineer saw that he was killed in stanter! The engine, of course, broke away for some distance, and on the engineer having at length stopped its further progress, be with great forethought turned on to the down-line, went over the other part of the bridge (which none but a courageous man would have attempted after such an occurrence), and down to the station to give intOrniation to the officials. The poor t, pow could hardly give utterance to a word, but said— " My mate is killed. and all the carriages in the Dee !" It is reported that Mr. Stephenson, the engineer to the 1101)1n ad Company (to whom the bridge belongs), was on the bridge yesterday, and pronounced it safe. From Mr. Hill, the able and active superintendent of police (who is always at his post when required) I have gleaned the following particulars:— KILLED. Mr. J. Matthews. coachman. Mr. Nevitt, ditto, of Cht Thomas Anderson, stoker. George Ruberts, guard. PERSONS IN THE INFIRMARY. David Evans, of Llangollen, labourer, thigh broken. Mr. J.

In a brief space of - time four end bodies were taken out of the riv r;sind'twelve - or t irteen of the passengers, who were more or leis wounded, were extricated from their perilous situation and conveyed to the Infirmary. As soon as the pgifation consequent upon such a , dreadful occurreqio tad subsided, attention was directed to the fallen arch;'' bfit, srrangu to say, only one of the girders, that Oil the . Ctutside, had given w a y, w hil e t h e usher remained prr6ctly firm and entire. Of course the weight of the carriages bore down the rails and the horizontal beams, which with the girder, now broken into several pieces; fell into the river. It also tore with smash e d as would the other, have been the case had the arch it a portion of the stone-work in w hi c h i t was f i xed on against the Welsh side .of the river. Very fortunately, how ever, nothing seemed`to have fallen upon t h e carr i ages, tthey and did though not t h a p p y p av e v .a e r r were o crushed completely been built of stone. Any conjecture as to the cause of the accident would be idle or misplaced; but doubtle*s that will be sufficiently investigated before the coroner. 'Ol those who escaped unhurt—comparatively few con sidering the number in jbe train— the following are the only names we have yet learned, and we believe it corn prises all, with one or two exceptions;—Mt Walmaley, .4 Liverpool, who was proceeding to Llangollen ; a young -min named Proud, connected with one of the railway offices; Mr. Lloyd Wynne, of Mount Zion, near Os. westry, and his son, also escaped almost without a Valise. , • . . There seems tolii,onC man still missing, for a h a t h as been found, marked ;w ith the na me of . tashelford, for which there Is no 'owner, . but this is supposed to be the only body that has not liven recovered. Mr. Jones, the house surgeon, seemed to thi n k the beads of most of the sufferers had come in contact with the stone wall, as the wounds were filled with sand; but this might be caused by the quantity o f sand which would be disturbed a* the carriages f e ll. We have spoken to one or two gentlemen who heard the crash of the fallinginass, which was heard at a great distance and who were on the spot imm e di ately after . the accident, but the relief of the wounded absorbed their whole attention; and they were almost unable to form the ,slightest idea of the cause of this dreadful calamity. It was stated that the engineer was so horrified at the occurrence that he went on his engine in an almost in sensible state for a distance of about two miles, One of the e,achmen who was killed had 150/ in his Docket, whi..b was ta k en chtt , r4e of by Mr. Hill, the superintendent of police. .. .

O'Connell had a lively faith in that religion —a faith which. never wavered. The persecution of Catholicity in Ireland prolojiged the fanaticism of the middle age to modern times,. We can scarcely believe when reading the last'memoir of O'Connell that such sanguinary laws could have been applied at the com mencement of the present century. The title of Ca tholic proscribed that of citizen—be possessed no right, no property, no asylum. We do not wish to stir that pool of blood, but an idea may be formed of the civil pu.ition of the Catholics, when it is known that a Pro testant meeting a Catholic on horseback had a right to make the Catholic alight and take possession of his horse. Such was Ireland when O'Connell entered on public life. It was the period when Pitt by force and seduction, menaces, and bribery destroyed the Irish Parliament and proclaimed the Act of Union. The patriotism of the Irish was roused, and the following passage from the speech of an orator who had opposed the union was placarded on the walls of Dublin: 'lre land is no longer anything but a colony of slaves for England.' O'Connell had soon an opportunity of ex plaining his pi inciples on this subject during a politic a l trial, and his language was so persuasive, his appeal to the country so pathetic, that whelk leaving the court-house be was hailed Its the chief . of a new party. Nevertheless , his success at tht bar restrained him. From the year 1809 to the peace his reputation and his practice so much increased that it 'produced him 20,0001. sterling a year. Still, however, he did not neglect his general interests—tbere was not a public meeting at which his voice was not beard—snot a banquet at which be was not the popular orator—not a petition nor an address which was not prepared by this accomplished lawyer;—he thus converted the laws pre pared to crush him into an arm. Nevertheless England, which had made so many promises in order to obtain the Act of Union, proved herself implacable. • She grants us nothing.' exclaimed O'Connell in 1820, • be cause we do not stir. Let us agitate ! Let us unite ! Let the weight of our petitions crush the table of the House of Commons, so that by the noise made in breaking the table, the House may at length be warned that we are millions of men crushed by iniquitous laws.' Vain hopes 1 There are periods when nations appear to lose every principle of life through torpidity. In the year 1823 two men, equal in eloquence, met at W icklow at the house of a common friend ' • both patriots and both young, they shed t ears on the fate of Ireland. These were Sheil and O'Connell. Supported one by the other they determined to rouse the population from its apathy by founding a vast Catholic Association. The founda tion was soon laid, and they agreed to meet in the parlour of a bookseller in Dublin. Ten members were considered sufficient to found the association. Four meetings were' held, but -netwithstanding the most pressing invitations . the ten members could not be found. The last day, they were eight, and after waiting two hours they were about to separate, when. Mr. O'Con nell heard voices in the bookseller's shop. They were those of three students in divinity who came to purchase books. According to the statutes of the association in embryo every ecclesiastic was rpso facto a member. Mr. O'Connell invited the students to take their places—they hesitated—he forced them into the room, and closing the door he exclaimed with a thundering voice, " We are constituted—Mr. Shell, I call on you to speak.' This feeble nucleus soon became larger—the acorn assumed the proportions of an immense oak—all the priests were appointed officers of the association—within two years it. extended over the entire territory—it presented itself everywhere, and if any act of violence was committed against an Irishman a lawyer was employed to prosecute the affair—the act was denounced in the newspapers and at the meetings of the association. At the close of the year, 1,201,000 signatures were attached to the Catholic petition, and the following year more than 2,000,000. Ireland appeared to be roused, and the feeling of nationality inspired her population. The activity of O'Connell appeared to exceed the powers of a human being: • He spoke during seven or eight hours a day —harangued everybody—at one moment in the publit streets, the next at a meet ing ; the same day at e public dinner, and the following day appeared b letter signed by him in the journals . of the association. 4,r some ponphlet , or den unciation of an abomt aable law or an act of oppressive Government.

The Paris National publishes the following elo quent, and in many respects just; biographical sketch of O'Connell : " We should write an entire book, comprising the history of Ireland for the last fifty years, it we would give a complete idea of the life of O'Connell. In writing those lines, in which we shall unite some personal im pressions with recollections well known to everybody, we desire to appreciate that great character without dinn nishine its proportions, and to pass judgment on the politician without giving to his acts a sense or a mean ing contrary to his own. Daniel O'Connell entered upon public life at 22 years of age; death alone with drew him from it at the moment when ho was about to attain his 74th par. The almirers of his glory may consider that his death art iced at too late a period.' Had he fallen five years since under the last persecution of the Tories, and in that prison to which he was accom panied by an entire nation, he would have been, to tn. the language of Bosruet, ' entombed in his triumph.' His destiny did not permit that; it struck him in a foreign land, far from that green Erin which be adored, and during latter years whilst his powerful constitution was declining gradually and Ireland was being decimated by famine—lreland, a victim full of resignation, had no longer the force to cause her groans to be heard. At that period every eye was directed towards that man who held the nation suspended at his will ; he was re minded of so many speeches full of hope, so many illusions maintained by his eloquence—he was accused of having by a compromise paralysEd every burst of courage, and crushed in the bud every real attempt at emancipation. The inclemency of the weather and the unproductiveness of the season were attributed to him. 'ln what were we deficient at that moment,' exclaimed lately a patriot of the Young Ireland school, • neither hands, heart, or intellect. We are possessed of all those advantages in the name of our eternal rights. At pre sent we possess none of those—and the violence of con quest; and the culpable weakness of those who have made a treaty with our enemies, have caused the continuation of that impious and homicide rule which converts 8,000,000 of Irishmen into a type of the most miserable amongst cividzed nations!' The bitterness of those com plaints fell drop by drop on the heart of O'Connell, whose blood was congealed and no longer felt that ener getic excitement by means of which he governed so long. He himself felt that the stamina of his best days could scarcely suffice to make head against so desperate a situation. That aspect of Ireland, whose wounds were gaping—those accusations, which appeared to impute to him a part of the' most perilous responsibility—the bold plans of the Young Ireland party, which filled him with terror—the feeling of his own declining health—all corn biped to hasten his last moments. We are not so unjust as to refuse to acknowledge the great services which he his rendered. He, it is true. did not accomplish a work apportioned to the power which he enjoyed, but what we wished of him he did not wish. lie has been frequently honoured with the title of tribune ; he never possessed more than its exterior qualities— the lofty stature—the athletic force—the exterior pas sion, and perhaps the language; but he neither possessed the instincts nor the resolutit n of a tribune. There is nothing more common than to be deceived by ap pesrances ; genius possesses the rare privilege of com prehending everything, and we imagine that we expe rience profound sensations when we merely reflect those of others. It was thus that O'Connell became the indefatigable echo of grief which he did not feel, and passed for a tribune of the people whilst he was merely the powerful advocate of the middle classes. Daniel O'Connell had seen in his youth the efforts of tLe rnul. ritude. the ardent impatience of that oppressed nation— the mysterious insurrection—the frequently sanguinary violence of the Irish perishing of hunger—those appeals of the secret societies to arms, succeeded by those terrible executions of which the traces were to be found on the high road or at the gates of the rich—the entire his tory of a people reduced to despair, which feels the weight of invasion on its breast, and which contends with fire and sword against the foreigner. Well l he execrated that history ; he came not to organize that army, but to destroy it ; he di dared so in the first speech by which he established his reputation ; he wished to substitute a struggle in the face of the sun for a ►nidnight battle,—legal means for violent conduct,—for the vengeance of despair he substituted that activity which afflrds hope. From the commencement he spoke with respect of lel:ality ; he declaimed vehemently against the oppressed, who by their crimes appeared to wish to justify their oppressors ; and in the year 1811 be pronounced those words, so often repeated by him, that the greatest progress of the human mind was not worth a single drop of human blood. It was easy to see from that moment in what circle he had enclosed himself. The sight of the mas sacres, the political trials, and the sentences of death passed in the year 1798 struck his mind with an invin cible horror for the Saturnalia of force. At a later period, having been insulted by one of his countrymen, he fought and killed his adversary in a duel. After this affair he ran to a Catholic church in a state of distract tin, and vowed that he would never again touch an in , trument of destruction. Tnat double impression decid.d his political career. Thus oppression., might stretch its .springs and double the number of iM t victims. O'Connell determined to combat and pursue it withont any cessa• ion. but he had previously traced the line beyond which he would not pass. if **as in legality he placed his -.,-it Is legality which was his only flag—that was his feebleness and latterly of his impotence wise his force as an agitator and as an orator ,stitn'others, 'Pace everywhere, and for ever ;' itti rimy was neither idle nor disgraceful—it was :5 14 , ' rife, corrupt, inert, nor sleepy.

He f&.und pleasure in quoting old patriotic adages, even when they ~(re opposed to his principle:. How many times did he nut repeat those celebrated lines— • ' Hereditary bondsmen, know ye not Who would be tree himself must strike the blow r And again ho invoked all the beauties of ins dear Ire land and her veruuut fills, and her pictureequ. sites, art , i her itnruense s, and her popu►ation, biave,.houest. devoted, intellectual, and so worthy to be happy, so well disposed to biieutoe au, and v.

This was the inexeaustible theme of his speeches, and it was by re . 4auilhating ttiat love of coun try more and more, .that he was able to conquer the most uubouuded empire and popularity:ewer enjoyed by any man. The he torx of that that association .is similar to that of all the others, 'and the talent, as s ell as the power of O'Oonnelcpreeerved Since then the same character. The Eaglish, seeing that new struggle in the name of the law, wiphed to terminate it by tees The Bill ot 1825, presented by eitealburn, afforded Sir Re Peel an occasion to pronounce a remarkable speech, which subsequently caused him embarrassments, and: perhaps excited iu his breast the remorse attending a bad action. It summed up the whole English constitute Lion in these words:—' hatred of Catholicism, distrest• tovearde.,lrieb idolaters!' The Bill adopted prohibit: d all meetings, all associations, during more thau four- teen days! This was sufficient for O'Connell to con tinue to develop his work. The law was promulgated in the month of March. On thr 13th of July the Catholic Association was re-modelled on a Lew legal basis. It no longer had a centre nor a constant duration. It had as many centres as there were towns, as many meetings as there were villages; the principal enter., and O'Connell at their head, traversed Ireland in every direction, and innumerable assemblies hailed them with transports of enthusiasm. It was un the 13 h ttf July, in the chinch of Waterford, amidst the prelates and crowd which thronged the edifice, that the new assoeia uon was inaugurated. —The Catholics, nut satisti,d with speaking, resolved to act. They were excluded fi lions Parliament, and determined to force their way into it. Fitzgerald, the representative of Clare, had become Cabinet ilinieter, and again solicited the suffrages of his former constituents. An order was given to elect O'Connell in his place, although O'Connell was not eligible. The particulars of that solemn demonstration are known to everybody. During three days the Irish electors, escorted by a multitude of peasant-, repaired to the hustings, and openly voted tor O'Counell. During three days the people. in a 'Less, kept watching, and, strange to say, no act of disorder, no sign intemper ance, disturbed that immense reuniou. A solemn cir cumstance imparted a dramatic colour to the event. At niglattal, when the result of the poll was about to be proclaimed, a Catholic clergyman made his way through the crowd, ascended r e hustings„ s end c .m -mandiug silence with his hand, slowly peanat ,„, these words—' Irishmen 1 brethren 1 an butrouir ; Catholic had the misfortune to vote for Ft a gwrald.'—(' Shame! shame!' vie:limed the indignant* people.) replied the speaker, in a seve a tenet tee indignation of man is feeble cetnpated with the wrath or Gedl The hand of the Almighty has punished him. I iuturin you that he has just been struck with apoplexy. A prayer for his soul!' And in an instant the whom multitude fell on its knees, when some stentorian voices shouted out. O'Connell is re turned! O'Connell for ever! O'Connell and Ireland free!' The crowd then dispersed in every direction, carrying to the extremity of the island the glorious tidings which made every heart rejoice. Ile proceeded. to London, presented himself in the House of Commons, and when tendered au oath he could no: take he protested and retired. The electors of Clare refused to eh et another deputy, and the agitation ot Irel end be-coining wore and more menacing, the Euglish aristocracy was compelled to yield, and the emancipation of the Catho lies was proclaimed by that same Sir Robert Peel, whose fortune was always magettied by the strange circum stance that he was obliged to carry the measor, s most violently opposed by himself and his party. We shall nut cuntinue the biography of O'Connell any further. The events are too near us, and the traces of his passage though Parliament cannot be so soon effaced. When the %Vhigs resumed the direction of affairs O'Connell, confiding in their good intentions, extinguished the tire he had kit and which he was able to rekint l ee during the Tory Adinielstrtuion. His influence save. the masses still en dured, but his mien over the enlightened tied resolute patriots had long been on the wane. The Cabinet of Sir Riibert Peel renewed the popularity ve the Agitator by instituting against him judiciary pi oceedings, similar to those already directed against him, at atiot , ,er to the discomfiture of his pereeruvors. But on the re turn of Lord John Russell, all those angers, thiise pro mises of repeal, all that inurement imparted to a popu lation which lle was certain to restrain, all th4t ardent and sarcastic eloqu, nee, which preserved in his old age all the power and vivacity of bis youth, suddenly vanished like a phantom. Then an opposition formed itvelf round him, and ultimately against him. This was his deathblow." The National then concludes with an extract from ene of O'Connell'e speeches, delivered at Waterford, in which he predicted that the rising generation would not be so patient under suffering as those that' preceded it.
