FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. BUENOS AIRES. - Advices from Buenos Ayres of the 29th of June state that the House of Representa'ives had confirmed the law authorising a monthly remittance of 5,000d015. to Messrs. Baring, Brothers, on account of the dividend till some definite arrangement is made for the liquidation of the foreign debt. The, return of many of the old English residents for their native land seems to have created some sensation in the Argentine Republic, and their departure is mentioned in terms of regret. The packet bringing three accounts is the bearer of 10,000 dis. being the amount for May and June. By the same op portunity we learned the fact of the departure of Corn modere Purvis for Rio de Janeiro, having been superseded by Captain Talbot, of the Vestal, till Sir Thomas S. Pasley takes command of the station. Paz was reported to have sailed for Rio Grande. The exchange on En gland was quoted 31d. SYDNEY.--Sydney papers to the 12th of May have come to hand, but being only a week later than those re ceived en Thursday last, they add little to the information before made public. Business transactions continued ex ceedingly limited, and there was no actual improvement in prices to notice. - Wool in grease was fetching id per lb., and choice flocks is Id to is 2d per lb.; flour, accord ing to quality, was .0 to 411 per ton ; sperm oil was quoted 122 to £2l per ton. NEW ZEALAND.—Accounts from New Zealand state that on the 12th of February an interview took place be tween Governor Fitzroy and the New Zealand chiefs con cerned in the massacre at Wairou. After a request to bear from them their own account of the affair, which was complied with by Rauparaha, his Excellency having deliberated for some time, addressed the natives to the effect that, as the English had in the first instance been in the wrong, and the New Zealanders had been betrayed into unlawful acts both by their ignorance of English law, and by the great provocation they had received, no pun ishment should follow their offences. lie concluded by assuring them that he would punish all attempts on the part of the English to wrong the natives, and exhorted the chiefs in their turn to exercise their influence to pre vent the natives from any similar infringement of their mutual rights. Dr. WOLFF.—After much correspondence, and obtain ing from our own government all the interference and aid it feels authorised to undertake for the release of Dr. Wolff, Captain Grover a few days since started for St. Petersburgh, persorlagy to interest the Emperor Nicholas in the same humane and holy couse. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT NIAGAD.A.—Miss Martha K. Rugg. a young lady, left her home a few days since to visit her sister. She was under the care of her brother in-law. Arriving at Niagara Falls, they stopped, with the intention of spending a short time. On Saturday, in company with a party from this city, they walked out, and when on the bank just below the Falls, on the Canada side, Miss Rugg suddenly left the arm of her protector to gather some bushes growing on the very brink of the precipice, and almost instantly lost her balance, falling about 100 feet perpendicular. She was heard to utter one fearful cry as she was falling, and all was still. It was some 20 minutes before her companions could reach her; when they did so, they found her still alive, but she died in about three hours.—Buffalo Gazelle. The Portland (U.S.) Argus states, that an Anti- Swearing Association had been formed at Orono, and about one hundred had signed the pledge. _ _ The expenses to France of the expedition against Mo rocco, ascertained at the Ministries of War and Marine, amount already to upwards of 20,000,000 f. MUTINY AT ICHABOE.—On the first week in July a serious disturbance seems to have taken place at Ichaboe. The number of vessels loading at the date of the letter announcing the fact is represented to have been between 70 and SO, and the origin of the disturbance was from the new corners attempting to take precedence of previous ar rivals in the loading of the vessels. STRANGE CUSTOM.—By virtue of a very old cu , tms in Belgium, particularly in Brussels, the reigning sove reign of this cout.try becomes godfather to the se% euth consecutive son of any family, however humble their situ ation may be. The other night, the wife of an honest mechanic, residing at No. 17, Rue de la Bettera ve, g ave birth to her seventh son, who will accordingly have the honour of becoming the godson of his Majesty, the Kiag of the Belgians.—Brussels Paper. Two IRISH CLERGYMEN DROWNED AT ROME.—A melancholy event occurred at Rome on the 28th ult. Two ecclesiastics, students of the Irish Franciscan Collrge in that city, were unhappily drowned whilst bathing in the Tiber. One of the deceased, the Rev. E. F. Martin, was in priest's orders, and had celebrated the holy sacrifice the morning of his untimely death. His companion, the Rev. R. A. Kavanagh, was ordained sub-deacon on the previous Sunday. The former was an excellent swimmer, but Mr. Kavanagh ould not swim, and it is conjectured that one was drowned in the endeavour to save the other. DANGERS OF THE AFRICAN GUANO TRADE.—A let ter, dated Sunday, received here on Tuesday, from Fal mouth contains a statement of a very extraordinary cha racter, the truth of which there seems no reason to doubt. It is as follows;—" The Sam Slick, of London, arrived off here (Falmouth) reports that Mr. W. Vaughan, roas ter of the merchant brig Courier, of London, having touched at Bathurst (Gambia) on the 15th of June, whence the Sam Slick sailed August 7th, made a declara tion to the authorities there that nearly the whole of that vessel's crew, as well as the master and some of the sea men of the barque Margaret, of London, including the Captains, had been captured by the Moors at Arguin, upon the western coast of Africa, where they had gone to procure guano. Seven men, including the chief mate of the Courier, had been killed. The Africanus, of Lon ' don, Captain Isemonger, lying off Portendic, having heard of the tragedy, had ransomed a party of nine per sons, including the captain of the Margaret, for £300; and six of the party arrived at Bathurst on the 6th of August, including the captain of the Margaret. Three remained behind, unable to travel in consequence of their wounds. The captain of the Margaret was three months in captivity." THE PIRATES OFF THE COAST OF BORNEO : ANOTHER SLUE'S CREW MURDERED. By letters, whicla were received at Lloyd's on Monday, from Singapore, we learn of further horrible atrocities by the pirates off the coast of Borneo. In addition to the capture of the Belgian brig Charles, another unfortunate vessel, called the Lucky Blass, a brig, 200 tons burthen , has been taken by them, plundered, and afterwards set fire to, and the whole of the crew and passengers, amounting, it is currently reported, to eighteen persons, were massacred. The wretches, there is no doubt, are the same who mur dered the Hon. Paul Erskine Murray and two seamen in the month cf January last. A letter from a naval officer on board the Harlequinus, dated Singapore, July the 3rd, states, that her Majesty's surveying ship, Captain E. Bel cher, C. 8., hearing of the treachery perpetrated by the natives, (the Sultan admiting the massacre of twenty-seven Europeans and the capture of their vessels,) proceeded along the coast. The Semarang returned to Singapore two days since, with her commander, Captain Belcher, severely wounded in both thighs, but doing exceedingly well. The ship had been engaged in a fight with the pirates, and they had burnt and destroyed no fewer than eight piratical prows. THE FRENCH AT TAHITI.—By a letter from Tahiti, dated April 24, being later than our previous advicea, we learn that events have occurred at that island, which, when stated in detail, as they are sure to be in future accounts, will place the character of French rule in the Southern Pacific beyond all question. At the time werefer to " the French have been cruelly murdering the natives by broad sides of canister and grape from their two heavy frigates! The Queen had been upwards of twelve weeks living with her family on board of our small ketch of war Basilisk, and during that long period had not dared to put her foot out of the vessel. The French had carried their unwar rantable measure of confiscation of the Queen's property to so great an extremity that they had even seized upon the little presents of poultry, and fish and fruit, which her sincerely attached subjects had from time to time provided for her. These trifles the French had appropri ated to their own personal uses ! " These proceedings with relation to the Queen seem to savor a good deal of persecution, and very little honesty. They are merely unrelentingly severe and disreputable. 'Tis the tyranny of the giant using his power like a giant, but in a little way. Nevertheless, the great gun practice with grape and canister, which is spoken of as a warlike service performed by heavy frigates against an undefended people, is an af fair of too merciless a nature to be tolerated as the plan ned and deliberate exploit of the assumed to-be skilled navy of a great and civilized nation. LOSS OF THE BRITISH SCHOONER ORANGE. The New York Tribune relates the following particu lars of the awful sufferings experienced at sea by the crew of an English vessel : "AWFUL SUFFERINGS AT SEA.—The ship Vicksburg, Captain Berry, which arrived at New York from New Orleans, fell in on the Gth August, in let. 26 27, long. 87 46, with an open boat containing seven persons, and took them on board. They proved to be the captain and crew of the British schooner Orange, which was lost on the voyage from Jamaica to Matanzas. Their names were as follow :—Alexander M`Donald, master ; William Young, mate ; Edward Cook, Richard Evans, John Brown. Wm. Roscoe, seamen; and Robert Wilkinson, cook. They had been thirteen days in the boat, which was but 14 feet long. When fallen in with they were in a very exhausted state, and three of them bad to be lifted on board. The youngest of them, Wm. Roscoe, was totally insensible ; and although every exertion was made to restore him, he survived but about three hours, and at sunset his body was committed to the deep. During the first night the mate was delirious, but has since, as well as the rest, nearly regained his health. Their thirst was excessive, and great care was taken in giving them water at first, and it was not until the third day that it was satisfied, at which time each persoa had taken about three gallons of water. " Capttin M`Donald stated that about the 24th of July, at two a.m., when in lat. 22 45, long. 83 4, his schooner was capsized in a sudden squall from the eastward. The lanyards of the weather rigging were immediately cut away, but the ballast having shifted, and the sails and masts being in the water, it was impossible to right the vessel. Fortunately, when she capsized, the jolly boat, being in the bottom of the long boat, turned over, and all hands succe e d e d i n getting ' into it, and got clear of the vessel, which al most at the same oment disappeared. They were then left to the mercy of the waves, without provisions or water, or even an oar. Part of one of the masts was made use of to steer with, and the boat was kept before the wind till dr i flight. " During the day the linings and footboards' were taken off and converted into a mast, on which was placed the captain's shirt for a sail, and the boat wassteered in a sou th e rly direction , i n the ho p e of falling in with lend, In the afternoon a barque was seen to the westward, steering towards them, and, when about two miles off, hove to for a sh , rt time, then hauled southerly f or about half\a' hour, VA — tidbit s'anset 4 the againfsteered we I ward. "On the 25th there being,na appearance Land, the boat's course was altered 'to - ivesfward; with the hope of falling in with some vessel. They continued this course till the 28th, the wind being all the time eastwardly. On this day, for the first time, it rained for about two hours. By using two pairs of shoes, all they had among them, arid by wringing their clothes, they succeeded in getting about half a pint of water each. " From this time till the 31st, they saw no vessel, and were without water. On the 31st and the day following it rained three or four hours, and they obtained sufficient water to quench their thirst for the time. From the Ist to the 6th of August they obtained no water, but on one of those days they picked up a piece of bamboo, which Was found to contain four small fishes about two inches long, which they divided among them : this was all the food they had while in the boat. On the morning of the Gth three ships passed them, but it was supposed the boat was not seen by them. Tney were, however, soon after wards gratified with the sight of the ship which afforded them relief, on board of which they received every care and attention." IRELAND. MEETING OF THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association took place on Monday in the Conciliation Hall, which was crowded to excess in every part. Shortly before one o'clock, Mr. O'Connell entered the Hall, and was received with long-continued cheering and waving of handkerchiefs. He was accompanied by W. S. O'Brien, M.P., Henry Grattan, M.P., Nicholas Maher, M.P., John O'Connell, M.P., &c. When the noise subsided, Mr. O'Connell moved the Hon. Mr. Hutchinson in the chair. After Mr. Hutchinson's address, the handing in of sub scriptions was proceeded with, and the rent for the week was £7OO. Mr. O'Connell handed in £25 from Liver pool. Mr. W. S. O'Brien announced that the committee proposed to award the following sums as prizes for the best essays written i❑ support of a repeal of the union : For the best essay, £lOO ; for the second best, £75 ; third best, £5O. Mr, O'CONNELL, M.P., rose, and said that the con cerns of Ireland were now in their hands ; they had ar rived at that period in which, if they acted with discre tion, prudence, and propriety, the Repeal of the Union was not only certain, but near at hand. He doubted whether they were able to spoil the cause, it was in so prominent and powerful a position ; but he knew that an awful weight of responsibility hung over him. They had arrived at the time when they could be free, if they de served it, and conducted themselves accordingly. They were something more sober than on the last day. Trio} , were then warmed with the triumph they had obtained. Look at the transactions of the last twelve months, and see springing up at every side, the disposition amongst Irishmen to combine one with the other. Take his own individual case, when the verdict was obtained in a man ner which he need not descr►be, there was nc insulting triumph upon the part of those who held different. There were no Orange processions—no Orange lodges lamented—no Orange processions marched out in com memoration of triumph—no drunken orgies—' to hell with the Pepe and O'Connell." Nothing of that kind took place. Three years ago a very different state of things would have existed. Little more than three years ago he risked his life while going along the Queen's highway from Dublin to Belfast. Three years ago the north was in a blaze; but upon this occasion there was no triumph over his conviction, or his sentence to imprisonment. That was an excellent symptom : that neutrality was one which they should hail as the harbinger of better days for Ireland. He rejoiced at that neutrality. He was grateful. He thanked the Orangemen for their forbearance ; he expressed his strongest gratitude to them fcr that proof that they were becoming more Irish than they were, arid for holding out that prospect of still better days. But what had occurred since he was liberated. Had the popular triumph been marked by any discontent upon the parts of the persons who were hitherto opposed to them ? Were there any meetings expressing resentment at the mode in which the ultimate success was obtained, or disparaging the conduct of those through whom that success was announced ; no such thing ; quite the contrary. He was proud to say that he had received congratulations from multitudes of persons who were formerly opposed to him, and whose politics were not identified with his. His first object was to consider whether it ought not to be referred to the com mittee to consider the propriety of holding the Clontarf meeting. He told them frankly his own opinion was that it would not be necessary to hold the meeting. The only necessity for calling a meeting would be this—that being public men, and bound to preserve the principles of the constitution, (the meeting being legal and constitu tional,) they should hold it for the purpose of showing that its suppres,ion was an outrage, and ought not to be acquiesced in. He (Mr. O'Connell) saw a great deal in that argument, but he thought that it would not be neces sary to carry out their principles further. When they had the five counts of the indictment which referred to those meetings struck out of the writ of error by the consent of the crown counsel—including the Attorney-General— they had the principle established, and there was no occasion for going to the unplesantness of entering into a controversy with the gt.vernment, or anybody else. Then, taking this suggestion as their line of con duct, he would remind his Protestant friends of the pro gress which those meetings had made. Forty-one of them had been held with perfect tranquillity—without accident or disorder. He was told that he repeated this too often, but he denied the fact, for he wanted to announce to the world that the people cf Ireland were unanimous in their conviction that the country was misgoverned, and that the unjust act of union ought to be repealed. This was his opinion as to the Clontarf meeting ; however, he would, as a matter of form, move that it be referred to the committee to consider the matter. And now for the second question for consideration. The next matter he wished to refer to was the " Preservation Society" of three hundred gentlemen, to be selected from all parts of Ireland. Upon the last day of meeting, he suggested that this society should have control over the Association. How ever lie had since changed his opinion, and had come to the conclusion that the authority of the Association should not be lessened. The learned gentleman upon the third point stated that instead of moving the impeach ment of the judges, they would petition the Queen for their dismissal, and continued at great length to refer to the proceedings at the trial. O'CoNNELL's PRISON BED.--Mr. O'Connell has caused the bed on which be slept during his incarceration to be removed to Merrion-square, and has supplied the deputy-governor with a new one instead, declaring that he would keep it as a memorial for his children. ComicAL FRICAK.--Two ladies, in the sect of the White Quakers, were apprehended in the streets of Long ford, where they displayed themselves in the supposed costume of Eden ; viz., a garment of leaves twisted to gether, and covering them from the waist to the knee. — Limerick Chronicle. AN ATTORNEY'S KISS—THE MIRACLE.—It took three attornies half-an-hour to convince Mr. O'Connell that the judgment on him was reversed. One of the attor nies kissed him, and notwithstanding even the kiss of an attorney—a thing, we believe, rarely given, as it could not very well he put down in the bill (to kissing our client, so and so)—Mr. O'Connell remained incredulous. He knew, indeed, that the news must be true or the attornies could not be there to tell it, but he could not believe it because the attornies told it. It was enough to make anything untrue to have three attornies agreeing in assert ing it, and one embracing ar.d kissing in a manner to call Judas to mind.—Examiner. SANGUINARY OUTRAGE.—On the 11th inst. a land lord with eight men went to levy the amount of an exe cution upon lands in the county of Cork. They had some difficulty in entering the house, but shortly after an immense number of people amounting at least to 1000 persons surrounded the dwelling and commenced an attack upon the party inside and dealt blows on them with scythes and pikes, and afterwards beat the wounds with sticks—a new mode of torture. One man was held while he was cruelly mangled in the head, a pike thrust in his mouth, and his teeth smashed. Several of them ire in a very s7angerous condition, and this is the fourth time that such murderous work has taken place though the other occurrences were of far less atrocity. POSTPONEMENT OF REPEAL.—" Mine ancient Pistol" of the Nation gets into his altitudes once more, only to set his readers down again into the lowest " slough of Despond" :—" Oh ! but it makes our eyes to fill," quoth he, " and our throat to close, and our hot breast to labour (as the ocean would when a volcano heaved within it), when we think of that day when Ireland's flag shall float over her people, educated, united, and free. How well were a life of breathless toil—how well were the death of scaffold or battle-plain faced, to catch a glimpse of that hour. It shall be—it shall be—if not to us, to this gene ration." One would argue from this passage (combined with others of recent occurrence), that there is a conside rable split in the cabinet of the Corn-Exchange—at least a very important difference about the point of 'time when the breach in the Legislative Union will be practicable. On the one hand, we are to have—within six months from any given day that may be pitched upon—either the Leader's head upon a block, or a domestic parliament in College.green. On the other, the sitting of this domestic parliament is adjourned almost sine die—" if not to us, to this generation." HORRID CASE.—Three months ago, a little boy, while tending sheep near Castlebar, Ireland, was bitten by a dog subsequently destroyed. On Thursday fortnight, while at mass, a sudden thrill seized him, and he became con scious of his impending fate. He told the clergyman that he could not endure the appearance of any liquid, that his chest was internally burning with a fierce heat; but that if a wheaten straw were got, and one end of it immersed in a vessel of water, he might contrive to drink it through the tube of straw. This was accordingly prepared ; but each drop of the liquid he imbibed was received (judging by the heavy agitation of his chest) as it had been burning lead. Excepting the convulsed horror he evinced on the appearance cr idea of any liquid, he continued sensible for a long time, and told his mother he was aware he would soon die ; that he would go violent, and to tie him, lest lie should do any injury, but not to bleed him to death, as hid been done in the village about twelve months previ ously to another person affected with hydrophobia. At length the madness reached its crisis, black froth and curdled blood foamed from his mouth, and he died in an awful paroxysm of violence and excitement. O'CONNELL'S CONSISTENCY.—On the 9th instant, at the Repeal Association meeting, O'Connell announced the impeachment of the judges as the only remedy, and as the plan to which he was greatly attached, and which he was determined to carry out. Alas that the people should now be left without any remedy at all ! for the " only" one was formally abandoned at the last meet ing; and it now remains to be considered whether even " an address to the Crown" will be adopted as a substi . tute. " The next and only remaining topic," quoth Mr. . . O'Connell at the last meeting, " relates to the impeach ment of those who carried on the proceedings against us. I talked on the last day of impeaching the judges —[yea, and her Majesty's ministers and law-advisers—but they are dropped out already !]—" the judges who took part in this case. I think the most ,ponstitutional anode of proceeding with reference to them, is to address the crown to remove them" Why, it is but a week ago since " impeachment was the only remedy." How comes it that there is now another and a better ? Mr. O'Connell hardly knows his own mind : but are they a rational or high-spirited people who suffer themselves to be tossed about like a weathercock at every variation of his tem perament ?—Dublin Mail. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE CHURCH.-It was well said by the Dublin Mail, the other day, that the Church of Ireland is the only body in that country now left to its own resources for the education of its youth. The government having always used Ireland as a wedge in its encroachments upon the Church, formed a scheme for taking the education of that people into its own bends, cut of those legitimately entitled to it, and established a so-called " National Board," which, by suppressing or mutilating the Bible, was to propitiate all parties, and educate in the same schools children of every denomina tion. Of course the pastors of the Church of Christ in that country could not thus suffer the lambs of their flocks to be led astray ; they declined to join the " Na tional" or government board, and instituted a society (precisely analogous to our own National Socie t y , whilst it was at variance with the Committee of Council), which they denominated the " Church Education Society. 'I his Society, through the Bishops and Clergy of Ireland applied to the Government for a grant of public money, AND IT WAS REFUSED ! ! And then Sir Robert Peel, in his place in Parliament, impugns the conduct of the Bishops and Pastors of the Church in Ireland, who, true to their ordination vow, refuse to succumb to the " National Board," and to allow the children of the Church to be educated in false-principles or on no prin ciple at all.—Chuachman's Newspaper. POPISH OUTRAGES.—We have already detailed several diabolical outrages committed by the Papists of Cork upon the Protestant inhabitants of that city, and especially on Sunday, profaning the Sabbath and interrupting the service at the various churches. The Rev. Dr. Neligan, rector of St. Mary's, Cork, in a letter to the Cork Con stitution of Tuesday last, says, that on the prevints Sun day, " During the reading of the First Lesson, the noise in the street became so great that I was obliged to give directions to the sexton to close the doors of the church ; but the moment the sermon commenced, the yelling in creased to a frightful extent—the street became densely crowded—a mob, carrying six blazing tar barrels, with lighted torches, flambeaux, &c., rushed up to the church gate—stopped there while they gave three tremendous shouts, and fired some shots in the direction of the church—the !nuzzles of the guns being pointed (as I am informed at the outer door. The interruption continued as long as the service lasted. As soon as it was over, all was tolerably quiet. Several persons were induced by fear to leave the church." The reverend doct r says, that the expressions used were too profane for him to write them, but the editor says they were such as these:—" Bad luck to the bloody Orangemen—by G—, but we'll put bullets in the guns the next time, and riddle their bloody Pro testant sowls." "To hell with the Protestants—they're inside at the devil's house—they're praying to the devil and at his service too. If it be any comfort to Doctor Neligan, he did not suffer alone. In St. Peter's Church, scarcely a sentence of sermon or service could be heard, and when a policeman, at, we believe, the request of one of the clergymen, interfered, the yelling increased, as if with the determination effectually to stop the service. Are these things to continue ? From the mayor we hope for nothing ; but is there no Protestant magistrate who, in this plain desertion of the duties of the mayor's office, will undertake to deliver the city from the ruffianism which has usurped the place of authority and law ? - - THE FEAST OF THE MARTYRS. - At this gathering on Thursday last, in Dublin, there were present one lay lord, the Lord French—four titular bishops, the criss cross Lords of Kilfenora, Ardagh, Meath, and Clogher— eight mayors, the Rev. Tom Maguire, and a gentleman of whom we have never had the pleasure of hearing before, but who is described in the Freeman's Journal as his Excellency General O'Neill, Marquis La Grauja. The rest, it is said, made the tale amount to nine hundred and sixty. Of course, the chief speech was O'Connell's, which was commenced thus—" It is very good to cheer — it is very pleasing to be cheered—provided it does not last too long ; but cheering alone won't do—word's won't do — we must have actions. Our readers will recollect that Mr. O'Connell, in his first speech after his liberation, propounded the same dogma, and that he then announced distinctly enough three lines of action in which he pro posed immediately to engage. He was, first, to hold the Clontarf meeting—secondly, to call together the Society of Three Hundred—and thirdly, to impeach the judges and others concerned in the state prosecutions. It will not, we presume, be forgotten, that on Monday (as may be seen from another paragraph) Mr. O'Connell, as dis tinctly as he had proposed them, again declared his in tention of abandoning each and every of these lines of action—so that he would neither hold the Clentarf meet ing, nor form the Preservative Society, nor impeach the judges. On Monday last, action was to be given up, and words and cheering were to be again the order of the day. On Thursday, however, if we should judge by the sen. tence we have quoted above, the programme was again revised, and deeds and action were once more to signalise the march of repeal. What sort of deeds are tho,e to be ? many of our readers will tremulously inquire. We shall let Mr. O'Connell reply in his own words. He is to begin to act " by one and all being prepared to approach the parliament, at the commencement of the next session, with the united and combined voice of Ireland embodied in our petitions." " What a falling off is here, my coun trymen." Ireland, proud and erect in the majesty of her new-born independence, and in-the might of her monster meetings, can Mr. O'Connell advise her to bend her neck before the insolent Saxon, as an humble petitioner for that which Mr. O'Connell has so often declared to be her right to obtain, and within the simple prerogative of her beloved Sovereign to grant. Spirit of the Nation! in what strains of sadness will thy next manifestation bewail this mournful proof of the defilement which even the glorious incarnation, in the burly form of O'Connell, has suffered in the dungeon ! He, whose free mind disdained to mingle in consultation with the Saxon within the walls of St. Stephen's, now proposes to approach that shrine of the cacodemon of Ireland in the humble guise of a peti tioner. But still worse is in store. Repeal it.el is to be abandoned, and the poor instalment of a grand jury par liament to be sought for in its stead :—We prefer—most of us prefer—the simple repeal of the act of union ; but there is not one of us who would not be content to repeal the act of union, and substitute a federal parliament. (Hear, hear.) Not one." In these two propositions, viz., to petition parliament, and to make the subject of that petition a federal parliament, the whole course of action announced by Mr. O'Connell is included. We shall see whether or not this will satisfy the ardent long ings of Mr. O'Connell's supporters.—Dublin Mail. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD • N RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. The Ulster Railway Company have declared a dividend of 15s. per share from the balance of net profit, stated at £8,481, which would leave £693 15s. 3d. to be added to the reserved funds. The gross receipts of the half-year from trafic amount to £13,856. AMERICAN RAILWAYS.—An extraordinary perform ante, equal to the greatest railway achievements of Great Britain, is recorded in the American papers. The go vernment express, which left Boston for New York with letters, mails, and passengers, arriving in the Acadia from England, on the 18th ult., were conveyed the dis tance of 238 miles in six hours by railway ! Tug RAILWAY TO THE LAKES—PROGRESS OF THE ATMOSPHERIC.—The Windermere and Kendal line is being surveyed with a view to the application of the atmos pheric principle of traction by water power. With such avidity were the shares of this short but excellent line sought after, that although there were only 5,000 to be appropriated, the number applied for was very nearly 13,000. RAILWAY FROM NORWICH TO IPSWICH.—On Friday week a most important and influential public meeting on this subject, was held in the Guildhall, Norwich, at which the Mayor of the city presided. It was resolved, that a line of railway to Ipswich would be of vital importance to Norwich and the county of Norfolk, and that it was de sirable to further the extension proposed by the Eastern Union Railway Company.—lpswich Express. PROJECTED BRANCH RAILWAY FROM THE GRAND JUNCTION LINE AT MADELEY TO THE POTTERIES. — We understand that circulars have been sent to influential persons in the Potteries, inviting them to attend a meet ing, before which proposals for the formation of this rail way by the Grand Junction Company will be laid. Mean while, the parties who contemplate the line from the Pot teries to Crewe are proceeding with their surveys, and it is expected that the plan will shortly be laid before toe public by an independent company.—North Staffordshire Mercury. GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. — We are authorised to state, that the directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, at their board meeting on Monday, unanimously resolved to recommend their company to subscribe £lOO,OOO to the stock of the above undertaking. This makes up the capital necessary for Parliament. The utmost exertions are making by the engineers to complete their plans, in order to be sub mitted to the Board of Trade, and every preparation is making for the approaching session. We understand that the returns of traffic, particularly of local traffic, on the line of the proposed railway, are most favorable. The Aylesbury Railway Company have declared a divi dend of Bs. per share. being at the rate of four per cent. per annum. The report states that the Birmingham company scrupulously fulfil their contract by repairing the permanent way, and have increased the accommodation on the line by placing on an extra train, at accelerated speed, to and from Aylesbury. The shareholders appear inclined to sell the railway to the Birmingham company, and it is proposed to offer it for the original cost, viz., £130,000, Under the new arrangement of lease it is said the terms payable by the Birmingham company for the next seven years will not yield the shareholders more than three per cent en their investment. IRISH RAILWAYS.—A meeting is to be held at Water ford on Monday next, for the purpose of forming a railway between Tipperary and Waterford. A meeting was also held in Dublin yesterday, which was attended by Lord Glengall, the Mayors of Kilkenny and Waterford, and several o'her influential gentlemen connected with the south-eastern counties, when it was resolved, not merely to bring before the public the Limerick and Waterford line, hut also a junction line between the Limerick and Waterford railway and Kilkenny, either from Clonmel or Carrick. Titus the gentry of Kilkenny will have the option of running a railway from their city into the Cashel and Dublin Main Trunk Line, by Abbeyleix or Carlow — so that in fact the south-east of lreland will have the advantage of railway communication to the north and east. A meeting will, we hear, be held at Clonmel in a short time, for the purpose of combining all the agricul tural and mercantile interests of these wealthy portions of the country in aid of this most interesting and laudable undertaking.—Dublin Mail.

Three prebendal stalls in the Abbey Church of West minster having now become vacant, the crown becomes entitled, under the ecclesiastical commission act, to the appointment of one new prebendary. The Bishop of Salisbury purposes consecrating the new church at Ditton Marsh, near Westbury, Wilts, on the 30th instant, and the parish church of Codford St. Mary, in the same county, on the 2d of October. Some other consecrations arc fixed to take place early in October, in cluding the new churches at Newton Toney, Wilts, and Broad Town, near Swindon. DURHAM CATHEDRAL.—The prebendaries of this cathedral have, in the course of the last twelve years, given no less a sum than £lOO,OOO towards the foundation of the Durham University, arid £120,000 towards aug menting the poorer livings in the diocese.—[This fact ought to be universally known and remembered ; but we wonder how much the prebends of this establiahment will be able to give when their salaries are reduced to the scale fixed by our church reformers. They will then have suffi cient for a respectable maintenance, but universities will e rain in atatu quo, and poor livings continue poor ] PUBLIC ADMISSION OF A. ROMISH CONVERT INTO THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.—An interesting service took place in the new chapel, at Ellerker, parish of Branting ham, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, on Thursday, the sth instant, in the admission of a person professing al legiance to the Bishop of Rome, into communion with the Church of England. The convert was a young man —Mr. Bohann—who was attached to a party conducting the government ordnance survey of the county of York. He had been for some time in a course of discipline and instruction, under the care of the Rev. G. F. Townsend, Vicar of Brantingham ; and on the above named day was admitted, in the presence of the Venerable Archdeacon Wilberforce and other clergymen, into the holy com munion of the National Church. DIFFICULTY OF RAISING AN ANGLICAN CATHEDRAL AT JERUSALEM.—The ground was purcc.ased in 1838, but the preparations for the building were not commenced till February, 1840, and Mr. Johns, the architect ap pointed to design and superintend the progress of the structure, did not arrive in Jerusalem till July, 1841. The first difficulty was to form a foundation, owing to " the honeycomb nature of the debris accumulated on the rock of this portion of Mount Zion, arising from the numberless sieges and earthquakes Jerusalem has been subjected to, from the time when David wrested his ' stronghold ' from the Jebusites, till the wars of Mehe met. Such uncertainty of soil and rubbish existed (Mr. Jobns adds,) that you could not form any coi , jecture as to what the next blow of pickaxe would alight upon, whether a portion of the ruined chamber, loose lubbish, some part of a destroyed arch, perhaps in an inverted po sition, a portion of a broken floor, or of tolerably solid masonry, and this would probably rest uponloose rubbish." He was accordingly compelled to proceed down to the rock itself, upon which on the 28th of January, 1842, the first stone was laid by Bishop Alexander, at the depth of 35 feet from the surface. On tie 2d November, the first stone above ground was laid by Mrs. Alexander. The work advanced till the middle of January, 1843, when it was stopped through the interference of the Turkish au thorities, at which time it had reached five feet from the ground. Some idea may be formed of the loborious na ture of the operations, when it is known that the greatest depth of the foundations is 42 feet, the least upwards of 30, and that the cubical contents amount to more than forty thousand cubic feet of masonry. hastened away from this view of the pass by the violent plunging of one of the horses in Lord Glenlyon's car riage, that defied all the efforts of the servants to soothe him ; and so alarmed did the ladies become — this being at a narrow part of the road, and immediately overhanging a frightful precipice—that they got out. Here ter Majesty and Prince Albert, with the rest of the party 'walked on foot for fully a mile to the scene of the Falls. The walk itself is a charming one, combining every variety of mountain scenery. In some parts the road was so narrow as with difficulty to permit two per sons to pass, while a fall would have sent the unfortunate person thirty or forty feet over the rocks into the brawl ing stream below. Her Majesty, however, we understand did not betray any symptom of fear, but gaily trode along the footpath ; and at the end of it was well repaid by the view which there presented itself. The Tummel here finds its way through a succession of rocks, which seem hurled in confusion together, telling a tale of former con vulsions of nature. The time at which her Majesty saw this magnificent scene was too late for her obtaining a sight of a beautiful natural phenomenon which is always to be seen in sunshine. The spray thrown up by the river in its fall, when shone upon by the beams of the eastern sun, form two magnificent rainbows at distinct points, but which may be seen together, and which com pletely span the fall. After walking about for some time, and viewing the falls from three different points, one of them a very rude sort of stone chair, on which her Ma jesty sat down, and where the print of her foot, visibly left on the soft ground, is already regarded by the inhabi tants With almost superstitious admiration, the party re turned to the carriages, and drove back through the Pass, where they again stopped to have a parting look at the stupendous rocks that here gather on every side. The field where Graham of Claverhouse was shot—the house from whose window the fatal bullet was fired—as well as the stone marking the spot where he fell wounded from his horse—all attracted the attention of the royal party. About half-past six they returned to the Castle. About nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, her Ma jesty and Prince Albert, attended only by a servant of Lord Glenyon's as a guide, crossed the Garry at the ford of Invervack. and proceeded on horseback to the hill of Tulloch, a height on the opposite side of the road from the Castle, and immediately overhanging the Inn. Arrived on the summit, her Majesty and Prince Albert dismounted, and walked for some time along the ridge, commanding a view of Strathgarry, as far as the Pass, on the one side, and Glen Fincastle, on the other. They then remounted their ponies, and at half-past eleven returned from the hill. It may be added that her Majesty took he ford both in going and returning, without alighting from horseback. On returning, her Majesty's attention was attracted by Lord Aberdeen's huntsmen, who were stand ing around, and one of them was called up to speak to Prince Albert. Her Majesty was dressed in a shepherd's plaid shawl, and a mourning dress. On Thursday morning Her Majesty and the Prince walked about the grounds, and in the afternoon the royal party went some miles down Glen Tilt, to obtain a view of some of the vast herds of wild deer, of which there are said to be 12,000 or 15,000 in the glen. In the phaeton with the Queen were Lady Glenlyon, Lady Canning, and Lady Caroline Cocks, and Prince Albert, Lord Glenlyon, and some others of the noblemen and gentlemen of the loyal suite were on horseback. After proceeding about four miles down the glen the carriage was stopped, and the gillies and forresters, who had been previously sent out to drive the deer, sent several large herds of forum 50 to 300 up to the crest of the hills, where the noble animals were seen to the greatest advantage, standing out against the clear sky. In the afternoon the Marquis of Breadel. bane and suite, in a carriage and four, arrived at the castle, on a visit to Her Majesty. On Friday morning, the Queen and the Prince were afoot as early as half-past seven, walking in the grounds. The Princess Royal was abroad upon her Highland pony. Her Royal Highness spends the greater part of every day in the open air, and has got as a playmate a fine manly fellow, the young master of Glenlyon, a boy about four years old. He wears the regular Highland costume of kilt and plaid, with a tiny dirk, &c., and the eagle's feather in his bonnet ; and the happy pair of children may be seen at all hours of the day sporting on the lawn and in the grounds around the castle. In the afternoon the royal pair took a drive in the carriage. Orders have been received on board the royal steam yacht Victoria and Albert to have every thing ready for her Majesty's embarkation on Monday, the 30th instant, on which day her Majesty has signified her intention of leaving Scotland on her return voyage. The yacht is still lying in the river Tay, off Dundee, and it is understood that her Majesty will embark at the same place where she landed, and that the royal party will leave Blair-Atholl on Monday morning, immediately after breakfast, and ar rive in Dundee between three or four o'clock the same afternoon, whence they will proceed at once on board the yacht. By this arrangement her Majesty will arrive at Woolwich near mid-day on Wednesday. The voyage from the river to Dundee occupied upwards of forty-two hours, and, calculating that it will take the same time to return, should her Majesty embark at Dundee at four o'clock on Monday, the 30th, the yacht will reach Wool wich on Wednesday, October 2. about ten o'clock. The Princess Royal is very frequently seen riding, or running about the policies, and as the Highland guard, whenever she approaches them, present arms, they are much more frequently called upon to discharge the duty towards her than to either of her royal parents. Her Royal Highness is a stout active girl, and appears to be in the enjoyment of the most perfect htalth. It has been already mentioned that the Prince had shot three harts on Saturday. Besides shooting these three harts, the Prince wounded another. The largest one shot was expected to weigh from 16 to 18 stone—it actually weighed 15 stone. The others weighed 11 and 12 stone respectively. To shoot the deer when running —or, as it is called here, " on the run"—is held to be good sport in the Highlands. It appears that the Prince shot all, three " on the run," and he is in immense favour with the Highlanders on account of it. Indeed, he only requires the tartan in order to become quite the man of their hearts. If repert speak true, it is not unlikely that the Prince will use the national dress during a part of his stay, as a large supply of tartans has been brought to the Castle for inspection. Her Majesty too delighted all the " gude wives" of Dunkeld by the way in which she took the Princess Royal on her knees at the window there, and tied on her bonnet. The whole demeanour of both - the Queen and the Prince, whenever they do appear here in public, is most kind and considerate; and they invariably acknowledge by bows the salutations of the people, who are beginning to understand the real nature of her Ma jesty's visit, and her desire to be allowed to live as pri vately and be as free from the fatigues of royalty as possible. HER MAJESTY IN A HIGHLAND INN.—On reaching Dunkeld the royal cortege stopped to change horses, and a delay of half an hour took place, when her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Princess Royal, alighted, and entered the Duke Arms Inn, kept by Mr. Grant. Here her Majesty and Prince Albert were regaled with Atholl brose, while the young Princess was supplied with milk. The Queen asked for oaten cake, a portion of which she gave to the Princess, and at the same time explained to her the nature of the bread, and its peculiarity as an article of food in Scotland. It appears that the idea of the royal party alighting at the inn had never been enter tained, and consequently no preparations were made for their reception. Lord Glenlyon, only a few minutes before the carriages approached Dunkeld, rode on before, and communicated her Majesty's intention, and, as may easily be supposed, the whole inn was instantly thrown into commotion by the unexpected intelligence. Land lord and servants alike were sadly perplexed. The want of fit preparations for a royal lunch, which it was pre sumed her Majesty and Prince Albert wished to take, was felt as a sore mishap, and every one was running to and fro, eagerly making such preparation as the circum stances of the case would adroit. The house itself was not in a condition deemed worthy of royal visiters. The stair happened to be uncarpeted, the rooms were not garnished with decorations such as the eye of a Queen might delight to rest upon, and, , in short, everything was in that state which an inn may be supposed to exhibit when it is in tended not for regular company, but for a host of visitors who might find it a convenient place from which to wit ness a passing pageant. By dint of activity, however, matters were soon arranged. A loyal draper, who lived next door, drew from one of his shelves a roll of plaiding which, stretched upon the stair, served admirably the purposes of a carpet, and by the time the royal cortege drove to the door, everything was in perfect readiness ; while the resolution of her Majesty and the Prince, not to take lunch, but simply to sip a glass of " Atholl brose," saved the landlord from all further perplexity. After her Majesty's departure, the plaiding which covered the stairs was purchased at a very handsome price by a gentleman, who declared that he would not part with it for ten times its value. Lady AuguFta Somerset. eldest daughter of the Duke o! Beaufort, is about to give her hand to his Excellency Ba• ron Nieumann, Minister Plenipotentiary from the Cott of Austria. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EGREMONT AND MAGAZINE REGATTA. On Thursday last the second annual Egremont and Magazine Regatta came off under the most favorable cir cumstances, much to the amusement of the inhabitants of Egremont, Seacombe, and the thickly-populated dis trict on that side of Wallasey Pool. This regatta is got up in the usual manner, by subscription; and we are happy to learn, that it has been very warmly patronised and supported by most, if not all, of the leading gentle men on the opposite side of the Mersey. The committee for the present year consisted of Messrs. Jas. Cleworth, William Nutt, Richard Dean, William Roberts, and Leonard Fosbrooke ; and perhaps a more energetic body could not have been selected for the purpose. The exer tions of the committee were most efficiently seconded by Mr. and Mrs. Sharpies, of the Egremont Hotel, Mrs. Dean, of the Black Horse, and Mrs. Roberts, of the Yacht Inn, at the Magazines. The weather, on Thursday, was delightful, and most favorable for aquatic sports. An excellent view of the racing was obtained from the windows of the Egremont Hotel, which presented a goodly array of female loveli ness, and also from the headlands along the shore, which were lined will spectators. The racing was excellent, and afforded the utmost sa tisfaction. We subjoin an outline of the prizes and the order in which the boats came in : The first was the MAGAZINE Cur, for sailing boats not exceeding 10 tons; not more than three men in each boat. The first boat received £2 ; second 15s.

Between there ar.d Sept. 24, 1841. Bootle Bay Buoy Mariner's Friend took the lead to Egre mont, was never caught after, and won by two lengths. The second was the EGREMONT STAKES, value 305., for boats not exceeding 17 feet keel ; to be rowed by four oars. Mr. Leonard's Ariadne Mr. Dean's George ... . Mr. Dean's George took the lead to the buoy; in turn ing the buoy went too far round, and Ariadne went 11: 1 * side, was never headed, and won by six lengths. The third was the NEW BRIGHTON STAKES, value 305., for sailing boats, not exceeding 17 feet keel; three men in each boat. Mr. Forshavv's Eleanor . Mr. Cleworth's 2 .round Mr. Cleworth's boat took the lead, and kept it the buoy off Egremont ; but in corning up to the starting place, got too near in shore, lost the breeze, could not catch it again, and had no chance after. The four IN as the MAGAZINE Pu u.sE, value 305., for four- oared gigs. Mr. Hughes's Brunette.. ".... " Mr. Sharples's Egretnont Lion .. A capital race between the Lion and Brunette, first one and then the other taking the lead, and ended cleverly in favour of the Brunette : a hard and well contested race. The Lion would, it is believed, have been the winner had it been for the breaking of one of her thole-pins. The boats started at the Magazines, kept to the right hand of the buoys, went round a boat moored off Egre• mont, and returned to the starting place. DONCASTER RACES.

Sunday week was signalised by the first visit of her Majesty to the venerable Church of Scotland, in the Parish Church of Blair Athol!. From the wet and glOonny state of the weather, it was doubtful almost up to the last moment whether the royal party would not post pone their intention ; at least many entered the church without any expectation of the Queen being present. Their surprise may be conceived, when exactly at the hour appointed for the service, her Majesty and the Prince quietly entered Lord Glenlyon's pew. The con gregation assembled of course kept their seats, and be yond a scarcely audible sensation there was not the slightest manifestation. Nothing could be more decorous and impressive than the whole scene. The Rev. Mr. Irvine, minister of the parish, preached a plain and lucid sermon from the commencement of the 13th verse of the sth chapter of St. Matthew, " Ye are the salt of the earth." At the conclusion the old practice which is still retained in most of tl e northern rural districts of col lecting the offering from each individual with the long handled ladle, was performed as usual, only that the col lector did not include Lord Glenlyon's gallery, where the royal party were seated, and who had given their charity on entering the church. On the congregation dismissing, the rain was pelting furiously. A party of the Highland guard, but unarmed, then took their places on each side the centre entrance to the church, and lined the few yards leading to the royal carriage. But so perfect was the de corum observed by the congregation, that there was no necessity even for this slender escort. The Queen, lean ing on Prince Albert, made her way to the carriage through the wet gravel, affording a good opportunity to some gallant Highlander to imitate Sir Walter Raleigh, had the day and the occasion been less solemn. On Monday Prince Albert went out shooting, and her Majesty occupied the early part of the day in driving and walking about the grounds. At three o'clock the Prince drove her Majesty in the pony phaeton and four to see the falls of Bruar. Her Majesty was accompanied by Lord Glenlyon and Lord Charles Wellesley. The Bruar water, which forms these celebrated falls, crosses the Inverness-road between two and three miles beyond Blair. Immediately on the other side of the bridge over which the high road passes there is a path way to the right, leading along the bank of the stream. At a distance of 40 or 50 yards from the bridge a gate is placed across the pathway, by the side of a pituresque looking cottage, where resides a woman who acts as guide to tourists and strangers coming to see the falls. The falls themselves (for they are many in number) form a really magnificent picture. The sides of the pass rise abrUptly from the bed of the torrent, which has worn a path for itself, leaving immense rugged masses of stone overhanging the stream. The tops, and partly the sides, of these precipices are covered with fir, larch, and beech, which clothe them with a bcutiful green. The Bruar water rushes through this pass in an impetuous torrent, sometimes turning aside to avoid an impediment, at others wearing its way through natural arches formed during long time by its own incessant force, and others leaping over the masses of rock in falls of from 100 to 200 feet. From almost every point of view the pass presents a grand and imposing aspect. Her Majesty was drawn up the greater part of the path way in her garden chair. The party returned to dinner at five o'clock. The Princess Royal, accompanied by her preceptress, took a walk on Tuesday morning in the grounds adjacent to the Castle. About twelve o'clock Prince Albert, ac companied by Lord Glenlyon, proceeded westward in a gig to the lands of Calovin, a tract of moorland about two mils above the falls of Bruar, to the grouse shooting, where in the course of less than an hour, his Royal High ness brought down seven brace. The Highlanders are in raptures with the Prince's skill as a marksman, which they say has not been equalled, much less surpassed, by any previous sportsman in Athol. It appears that his Royal Highness has a perfect command over the rifle and fowling-piece, having been trained to the use of them from infancy. About four o'clock her Majesty was driven by Prince Albert in the pony phaeton to view the Falls of Tummell. They were accompanied by Lord Charles Wellesley on horseback, and were followed by Lord Glen lyon, Lady Canning, and Lady Caroline Cocks, in another carriage and four. Four servants on horseback also ac companied the party. They drove down through the pass of Killiecrankie, when the Queen stopped near the middle of the pass to survey the scenery around, and talking to her companions, referred with evident delight to the admiration she expressed for the scene taken from this point of view when she first entered it from the south. It is indeed worthy of all admiration. The fertile vale of the Garry is here bounded and locked in by the meeting of the mountains which confine its sides, and which, though comparatively retiring, sloping higher up the val ley, here rise in precipitous grandeur, and even appear to overtop or interlace each other from side. to side, leaving a narrow gulley through whica the Garry brads and struggles through the deep deep below. The rocky sides of these hills are feathered to the very top with the larch, beech, oak, &c., forming a scene which is perhaps un equalled in Scotland for the combination of the wild, the magnificent, and the picturesque.
