THE AGITATOR'S LEVEE The Dublin Nation of Saturd4, the organ of the •' Young Ireland " section of repealers, is in a perfect de lirium of delight at the issue of the formidable proceed ings which were enacted in Dublin on Friday and re ported: elsewhere, in commemoration of the Repeal conspirators' accidental triumph over the supremacy of the law. " 'Young Ireland," malgre its feminine weak ness, as displayed at Conciliation-hall on Monday last is again seized with the war fever, and talks lustily of " pledges " registered for the regeneration of the country, the "bugles of the people" yet sounding in the ears, the `• will alone wanting" to let fly better skelter at her Ma jesty's troops, winding up with an apostrophe to the me mory of Sarsfield and Wolfe Tone, and an expression of the writer's uncommon thirst for a draught of freedom ; the whole tone of the article being couched in language not altogether dissimilar to passages which the curious in sedition may find in the lives of those eminent state men," Danton and Robespierre. Here arc a few samples culled from the nosegay : . FRIGHTENING INFANTS.—A nobleman of the highest rank, after anxiously waiting many years for a son and heir, had at length his wishes gratified. The christening was to be celebrated with great pomp; and to make it more imposing, it was determined that it should be per formed at night. The apartments were lighted with the utmost brilliancy; the company were all assembled, and the infant duke was brought into the drawing-room. The sudden glare of light caused almost instantaneous con vulsions, from which the child never recovered. Dr. Gartshore's son married a lady very highly connected ; and her son—provided she had one —was to inherit a large estate. Consequently, when her first son was born, there were great rejoicings at his christening; and a bishop, who was related to the mother, was invited to perform the ceremony. When he arrived, the servants knocked so loudly at the door that the child was fright ened into convulsions, from which it never recovered, but died soon after.—Hood's Diseases`of Children. PIPPIN.—This word is derived, by Dr. Johnson, from puppynghe (Dutch) ; but it is surely more reasonable to suppose it, with other etymologists, from Pepin, the king of the country from whence the fruit is derived; as " filberd," from Philibert of France; while the " ren nett" apple is la reinette, or the " little queen ;" as the " geniting" is from Janelon. or Jeannetin, in honour of some queen or lady of that name. The " Bigoroon" cherry is so called from Bigorre, the French province where it is grown ; as the original word " cherry" is from Cerasus in Asia Minor; while our " mayduke" cherry derives its name. from Medoc, in Burgundy. The brown " bu•y" pear is so named from ics buttered or melting quality (beurre'); the " Colmar" pear is from Colmar, In Alf ace ; and the " Cuisse-madame" pear, from its figure. The " arline" plum is a cor ruption from "Orleans; the "- currant" is the grape of Corinth ; and the "'damson" (properly damascene) is the plum of Damascus. Menage considers " melon" as a large apple, and derives it groin the Latin Greek. If esculent vegetables may be noticed, the " Jerusalem artichoke is a curious instance of the corruption of language, it being the sunflower artichoke, or girasole (the plant turning to the sun,) "Jerusalem" being thus corrupted from girasole. Not less remarkable is " John Dory" (the fish) as a cor ruption of it janitore, or " the door-keeper;" for that Within the last few years there appears to be a growing fish being called on the Italian coast, by the name of St. inclination on the part of those embarked in party politics Peter, and he being supposed to be the door-keeper of to throw overboard all old habits of thought and action, heaven, and therefore called it janitore by our sailors, we to supersede their opponents in carrying out measures thus derived the term of John .Dory.—Jerrold's Magazine. hitherto pronounced dangerous arid unconstitutional, an d THE DANDELION.—E ver y c hild knows it, and the vil- to fling away all regard fr earnest pi ofessions and public consistency.

What had all the teaching he had received at the school done for him, but placed weapons in the hand of wickedness? Had educa tion formed any part of the system of the school where he was instructed ; had he been taught how best to we the gifts that were imparted ; had he been inured to re gulate the mind that was stored; had he been habituated to draw just conclusions from all he read, instead of being merely taught to read,—that would have been, in some degree, education ; and it might have corrected, to a cer tain point, the darker schooling he received at home. Well might the great philosopher. who in some things most grossly misused the knowledge be himself possessed, pronounce that " knowledge is power •' ' but, alas, he forgot to add that it is power for good or evil I That poor child had been taught that which to him might have been either a blessing or a bane; but all his real educa tion had been for evil, and there he stood, corrupted to the heart's core."—laineis Smuggler. " Friends and foes ! know ye that Ireland is pledged— in words the most solemn—by representatives the most competent—on an occmion the most august—pledged be fore God and man, to achieve independence ? The bridge is broken behind us. He who falters now is a traitor, a perjurer and a coward. The bugles of the peo ple are in our ears—of the myriad people—of the people who owe England for a thousand martyrdoms, who have conquered demon vices long intrenched in their souls ; we grow impatient. Oh, men of Ireland ! will you not unite, and organize, and learn, and meet us at some not distant anniversary, to separate only in triumph ? Yes, we had the elements of a National Convention—a convention whose taxes the people would pay, round whose war• flag the masses would rally, which could negotiate, legislate, battle, and triumph. There lacked not intellects ready for every office in tent or town. There lacked not autho rity for perfect obedience. 1 here lacked not rank for ex ternal respect. There lacked not resolve for any contest. But one thing was wanting—the will. The garrison of Dublin was paraded yesterday. Its cartridges were ready, and its battalions concentrated to meet—unarmed citizens ! Viceroy of the.,alien ! your precautions were cowardly against us as we were, and would have been vain had we been what you assumed us. Your troops would have perished in our streets like a rivulet among sands ; but you acted as great a falsehood as the indictment of 18-14, when you took precautions against our insurrection. May the unanimity of the day secure future fr'endship ! May the opportunity of forcible liberation—foregone now !—confirm the people, and warn the oppressor in time! May the wrath of God smite him who breaks our vow ! May the arm of God hasten our liberty ! Dear liberty !—liberty, for which Sarsfield fought, and Tone organized!—liberty gained at Clontarf and Dungannon-- lost by division—come !—come quickly !—we are athirst for freedom !" A CARD.

THE HIGHLAND CLEARANCES, The Correspondent of the Times, gives in yesterday's paper, the following heart-rending description of what tack place after the Highlanders were ejected from Glen lvie, the preparatory steps to which are narrated in an article elsewhere : I drove over on Sunday to the parish church of Croick, which is near Glen Calvie. Close by a bridge leading to the glen the whole of these poor people, and the inhabi tants of one or two neighbouring straths, were assembled to hear one of their elders read the P-alms to them. They were all sewed in the Gaelic fashion, on the bill side, in a circle, facing the officiating elder; the women ell neatly dressed in net caps, and wearing scarlet or plaid shawls; the men wearing their blue bonnets, and having their shepherd's plaids wrapped round them. This was their only covering, and this was the Free Church. There was a simplicity extremely touching in this group on the bare hill side, listening to the Psalms of David in their native tongue, and assembled to worship God, many of them without a home. I drove on, and went to the Established Church. The service was partly in Gaelic and partly in English, but the congregation was miserably thin. There were but ten persons besides the minister in the church. Behind the church, in the churchyard, a long kind of booth was erected, the roof formed of tarpawling stretched over poles, the sides closed in with horse-cloths, rugs, blankets, and plaids. On inquiry I found that this was the refuge of the Glen Calvie people. They had kept their word, and saved their bondsmen. With two excep- LAWS ow MATTER.—AII we see is done by certain I Lions, the whole of the people left the glen on Saturday laws of matter, so that it becomes a etee.stion of extreme afternoon, about 80 in number, and took refuge in this interest, what ere such laws?

Their furniture, ex swer is, that we see certai n natural events proceeding in cepting their bedding, they got distributed amongst the an invariable order, under certain conditions, and thence cottages of taeir neighbours; and, with their bedding inter the existence of some fundamental arrangement and their children, they all removed late on Saturday which, for the bringing about of these events, has a afternoon to this place of temporary shelter. force and certainty or action similar to, but more precise lam told it was a most wretched spectacle to see these and unerring than those arrangements which human so- poor people march out of the glen in a body, with two or ciety makes for its own bentfit, and calls laws.

OUTSIDE WINDOW BLINDS.—Some of the distaict surveyors, having considered that outside window blinds must be regarded as projections from face walls within the meaning of the Building Act, summoned the makers to remove their work. A meeting of master window blind makers was in consequence held, and they, finding great want of information as to whether they could proceed in in finishing the various orders they had received, addressed a requisition to the referees setting forth this fact, and asking an award or certificate to enable them to follow their business without interruption or delay. Tney for warded diagrams of the ordinary window blinds (known as Oriental, Florentine, Spanish, flood-blind, Venetian shade, and Shutter-blind,) andthe referees have certified that such window blinds, " are not projections from face walls within the meaning of the Metropitan Building Act, and do not come within the operation of the said act." — The Builder.

LAST NI6-HT'S MAIL, EXECUTION —Yesterday morning, the convict Connor suffered the extreme penalty of the 14vv at Newgate, for the murder of Mary Brothers, in a brothel. He ackrr,vr !edged to having committed the murder, bet said that he had done so in a moment of mental aberration, to whrcht he asserted he was subject, through an injury tie received some time ago in the head. The culprit ascended the scaffold with much ficamcss. He died with little, if any. struggling. -YESTERDAY. The duty on most of the foreign seeds, cake, &c., is now taken off, and the importation tree. The ‘.:eather since our last report has become most lavorzrabie for the growing crops and our wheat market to-day with a short supply of English must be noted Is. to 2s. lower for all but picked samples. which hardly support the currency of this thy week. There was scarcely a transaction reported in free foreign and bonded. Grinding barley and peas fully as dear. Malt and beans the turn cheaper. • We have had a liberal supply of oats during tie past week ; a few additional cargoes o. torcign got up this tnorning. The extreme fineness of the weather deprived the trade of that tone which existed last w;ek, and the country buyers were or willing purchasers at former prices, the result of which was, a dull sale, at barely last week's terms. In consequence, we presume, of the late advancement in the quotations, the bullock droves fresh up for this. morning's market were on the increase and large for the time of year, while we may observe—notwithstandi the epidemic was much complained of—the condition of the beasts, as to weight, was good ; indeed, we have no: had a better display of beet on any market day during nearl.• the whole of the present season. These circumstances, together with the arrivals of slaughtered meat from the north being on the increase, had a depressing influence upon the beet trade, and the quotations suffered art abatement of quite 2d per slb—the very highest figure for the best Scots not exceeding 4s 4d per 81b. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we re ceived 1800 Scots, homehreds, and shorthorns ; while from the I northern csunties, the receir s comprised tae shorthorns ; from the western and midl umd distri, is, 2t.0 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of England, 10 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 550 horned and polled Scots. As we have anticipated the number of sheep for our market continue small—there being here, to-day, TEN THOUSAND LE99 than were brought forward et the correspor.d ng period of 1844. For nearly every breed—trt more particularly the prime old Downs—the demand was somewhat active, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, last week's currencies. From the Isle of Wight 2.:0 lambs came fresh to hand, but the general supply of that description of stock was small. The lamb trade was steady, and previous rates w. - re well supported. Calves and pigs, the snoplies of which were moderate, moved off slowly, at unaltered figures. There has been an immense amount f business done in the Stock Exc!;ange this morning, accompanied with a general advance in prices i.:(MSOIS have bCH last none for Money at Dn-, and lust for _town t, Reduced Three per Cents. at 91, the Three-and-a-Quarter New at 2a2i.
