The whole discussion was with a view to establish the right of hinting at the beau ties of physical force. Mr. J. O'Connell declared that if his father's suggestion for the renewed repudiation of the doctrine of physical force were not adopted, he and several oliers would retire from the association. To this threat, Mr. Smith O'Brien replied he had no intention of thwarting the liberator and his son in their modeoTpro ceeding, but if Mr. o,Connell's proposition were adopted, out he would go in company with the Young Ireland narttr_ whose cause was his cause. Towards the chime of vaaN.o •J• the proceedings Mr. Town Councillor Reilly lectured in strong terms the Young lrelanders. Mr. Smith O'Brien recommended all parties to make friends, and give up the discussion of a mere speculative subject—that of phy sical force, which no one dreamt of resorting to at this time. Mr. John O'Connell was inexorable. An ad journment of the debate took place to the next day. Th e rent for the week was annnunced at £lO9 4s. Bd. At one o'clock, on Tuesday, the association met at Conciliation hall. The Lord Mayor in the chair. Mr. Ray c orn . menced the proceedings by reading a letter from Mr. Gavin Duffy, which appeared in the Nation of Saturday last. The purport of the epistle was a defence of the doctrine of physical force, under pecu'iar circumstancee. Mr. John O'Connell rose to reply to Mr. Duffy's epistle, laws of his coon of all ning to thi ?press, July 15. THE KING of the King n hen it THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Paragraph by paragraph. He entirely repudiated the doctrine in that letter, and therefore opposed its inser tion in the minutes. He concluded by protesting against the association being any longer in connection with the Nation newspaper since the means by which they were resolved to obtain justice for Ireland were moral means and no other. (Cheers.) Mr. Mitchell, the Young ire land party, replied to Mr. O'Connell, and utterly repu diated all &sire on the part of those with whom he was able that the original rules of the association should now be found to be insufficient, and that it should be deemed and physica . .. , nected with. During the progress of his speech he was sometimes hissed, and at other times cheered.—Mr. S. O'Brien having expressed his full concurrence in the views of -physical forcn as expounded t y Mr. Meagher,— Mr. John O'Connell rose and said that, after the speech of his friend Mr. Meagher, he felt bound to take a deci. sive step, as the doctrines he had advanced were the more dangerous, coming from so gifted a speaker. (pear, anguage was s be listened to in that association. (Hear, tion must therefore cease to act, or Mr. That associa eagh cease to be a member of it ; either of these alternatives meat be adopted.—(hisses, and cries of " Never.") If it was the will of the association—(cries of "It is not")— thp. hi.] HIP nnivor nn it at nntlP- This mneh he would say, that Mr. Meagher and he could no longer be together in that association. (Uproar.)—Mr. O'Brien rose. He was afraid the alternative which had been of- fered by Mr. O'Connell was of such a nature as necessa rily to compel the termination of that discussion—(hear, hear}—because he pave them no_other_alte ive thari rom the association, unless Mr. Meagher re tracted what he had said. Ile (Mr. O'Brien) could not allow the meeting to come to such a conclusion, as that retiring perfectly fair c and legitima'te.—(dreat uproar, and cries of " Yes," and "No.") He was glad that he had that op portunity of expressing his dissent from the proceedings which had terminated in the loss of Mr. Meagher to the association. (Hear and cheers.)—Mr. J. O'Connell rose again and said, that if the association did not approve of those resolutions, let them adopt other resolutions and another leader. (Loud cheers, and cries of " O'Connell for ever, ' which continued for a long time, during which Mr. Smith O'Brien and the other members of the Young Inland party quitted the hall.) Mr. John O'Connell, after their retirement, said it was no source of joy that he had witnessed such a departure. There could be no feel ing of triumph in the loss to the assoc iation, of such men as Smith O'Brien. (Hear, hear.) It was a day not to speak, but to weep. The association would not meet again until Monday, when his father, he trusted, would be able to heal up this unhappy breach. The scene out side the building was one of great excitement. Several persons followed Mr. Smith O'Brien ; and those who were outside cheered him loudly on his appearance at the dcor.—Mr. O'Brien, and those who accompanied him did not formally resign their membership.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. DERBY SUMMER ASSIZES BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. TOPLIS V. ALLEN.-(SPECIAL JURY.) Mr. WhitehurA opened the case. The plaintiff in this was formerly a wine-merchant, residing - at Nottingham. The defendant was a surgeon, residing at Belper. He was a man of education, and possessed considerable ta lent, as his letters would show. He was apprenticed to Mr. Boden, surgeon, of Smalley, who was the medical attendant of the plaintiff's uncle, at Heanor ; and it was during the defendant'-s visits to plaintiff's uncle that ai acquaintance commenced between the parties and an at tacbment was formed. He was very much enamoured of her, and she reciprocated his affection. Subsequently the plaintiff paid a visit to some friends at Nottingham, whither the defendant conveyed her, in company with her mother and sister. It was whilst she remained at Not tingham that the correspondence he (the learned counsel) was about to put in, commenced ; on her returning home the defendant made a formal offer of marriage; he was accepted by the plaintiff; and the arrangement met with the approval of relatives and friends. The time arrived when the defendant was out of his time, and it was deter mined that he should proceed to Edinburgh to pursue his terms, was carried on between them during the two years he remained at Edinburgh ; and at the expiration of that time, Mr. Allen returned to Heanor, where his friends reside( Mr. Toplis , became a constant visitor at the house of. Subsequently he went to London to walk during his stay in town showed only increased affection. After walking the hospitals he returned home to establish himself as a practitioner, and purchased the business of a gentleman at Belper, before taking which, he consulted the feelings and the wishes of the plaintiff. It- would be seen from his letters, that he succ , :eded at Belper beyond his most sanguine hopes. After this time his letters be cam:: lcss frequent; his affections cooled; his visits were made at long intervals ; and, on being gently remonstrated with on this account, his apology was that his business engagements were so numerous that he had not time to spare. She was perfectly satisfied with thi4 explanation ; but was one day annoyed on hearing it bruited in the village that he had passed through the village with a von.. lady in the gig without calling upon her. He explained this matter satisfactorily, as she then thought ; but his visits still became fewer and fewer, and the same business excuses (which turned out to be pretences) were made by him to excuse this conduct; and at length he became mar ried to a lady of considerable fortune. He (the Learned Counsel) would show that at the time he was deluding this affectionate young lady, he was offering his hand to two other ladies at Belper. When he commenced paying his addresses to a third lady (to whom he is now married) he began to represent his business prospects as exceed. ingly gloomy, and a correspondence took place on this subject, highly creditable to the heart and head of the young lady as far as her part of it was concerned ; but quite the contrary as regards the defendant. He talked of going abroad, and did everything in his power to pre vail on the plaintiff and her mother to relieve him from his engagement. Miss Toplis remonstrated with him, advised him to hope for brighter days, and said that she was willing to await their arrival, or if needs be to become united to him at once, and she would do her part to make a small income quite sufficient for all moderate require- inents. The correspondence between plaintiff and defendant was put it. It is very voluminous, and extends over a period of six years. The letters of the defendant are couched in terms of ardent affection, and the young lady's replies are certainly—as both Judge and Counsel admitt ed—creditable to her good sense and refined feeling. The Learned Counsel read copious extracts from these documents. The Learned Judge, in addressing the Jury, said, as the verdict had berry conceded, the only question was as to the amount of damages. The Jury consulted for a few minutes and then returned a verdict for the plaintiff; damage*, 4200. inc of from 6d. to Is. per - -- - Indian Corn in less demand, at a d slow marke ARRIVALS OF CORN From Us ,cline of fully Is of his Oatmeal ..

UNIVERSITY 4- CLERICAL NEWS. The trustees of St. James's Episcopal Chapel, Edin burgh, have, we understand, invited the Rev. Drummond Anderson, of St. Jude's, in this town, to become a candi date for the important office of Minister of St. James's, where the Rev. Mr. Bagot officiates} for several years. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Calcutta preached a sermon on Wednesday morning last, at the Collegiate Church, Manchester, in aid of - the funds for the erection and endowment of the cathedral of St Paul, Calcutta. Judgment was given on Friday morning, by Vice- Chancellor Sir. J. Knight Bruce, in the cause of the Attorney-General v. Glasgow College—an information filed for the purpose of restoring. as it is alleged, to their original purpose, certain exhibitions to the University of Oxford, founded by Mr. Snell, in the year 1679. The testator directed that his exhibitioners, nominated by Glasgow College, should proceed to Oxford for education, and should then return and " take holy orders" in the Episcopal Church of Scotland ; which was the established Church at the date of the will, and for which, alone, an Oxford education could be adapted. It is urged on the other hand, that the testator meant only the Establish ment for the time being. The Vice-Chancellor decided in favour of the application of the Charity, for the pur poses of the Episcopal Church of Scotland. The exhibi tions have, in fact, been held without reference to any "orders" whatever, —Presbyterial or otherwise. BISHOP OF JERUSALEM.—lmmediately after his con secration, Dr. Gobat, the new Bishop of Jerusalem, took his departure from this country. He is to proceed by Constantinople to the important and interesting scene of his future labours, and most earnestly must - every Christian pray that a blessing may attend him in the discharge of the duties of his Episcopal office. The opposition made to his appointment, the protest of the Bishop of Exeter, the alleged letter of Dr. Pusey, the ravings of the Tract arian and High Church journals, the objections of Lord John Manners, and the opposition of Mr. Hume and others of his class to the Bishop's naturalization, are all circumstances which point out the fact, that the new Bishop is not one of those who come under the woe, which our Lord pronounced upon those of whom all men speak well. The Bishop is a man of far too much spirituality of mind, far too much attached to the vital truths of Christianity and to the doctrines of the Reformation, to be spoken welt of either by the Bishop of Exeter or Mr. josenh Hume. But the Christian is more indebted to the King of Prussia who selected this unambitious, but learned and devoted Missionary, to fill the office of which never gem' an appointment of this kind less expected, and at the same time better chosen. Dr. Gobat was at work at Malta, organizing with great success the new Protes tant College, when by desire of the King of Prussia both Lord Ashley, as the head of the Malta College, and the Chevalier Bunsen, as his Majesty's Ambassador, offered to him the newly-erected Bishopric at Jerusalem. The offer would have been most flattering to a man in the circumstances of Dr. Gobat desirous of worldly distinction and independence. But he was so zealously devoted to his work as Vice-Principal, that he declined the honour until assured that it was the opinion of the heads of the College, that he ought to regard it as a call of Providence, inviting to a new scene of labours in the East.—Record. ~~~.:~.~ GENERAL MISCELLANY.

ENGLISH BANKRUPTCIES. —The number of bank rupts during the last year amounted to 1025, comprising nearly all trades and professions. The highest number was that of victuallers, which was sixty-three. and the lowest number the class of attorneys, there being one only. The only business excepted from that of bank rupt's list was that of undertakers. At the Henley-in-Arden Petty Sessions, last week, Edward Birch and John Starkey, servants of Mr White house, of Eardington, and John Page, Henley-in-Arden, were summoned before the Magistrates for mowing, hay making, and carrying hay in a meadow at Henley on Sun day, the 21st of Jute last. The parties admitted the of fence, and were ordered to pay . §3. 6d each for,costs. TR'E " TIMES" AND THE UINISTRY.-Of course the press is convenient, if not indispensable, as an occasional, or even frequent channel for announcements designed to prepare the public mind, and soften the approaches to startling alterations. A more regular connexion does not suit the genius of English journalism ; and to the best of our information and belief, the present ministry intend to act on that opinion. At least we can answer for our selves.—Times. _ VV IMPORTANT TO DEBTORS AND CREDITORS.—In the Court of Queen's Bench, last week, in the case of Toomer v. Gingell, the same law lately adjudicated by Mr. Palmer in the Bristol Court of Requests, was adopted, when it was argued that the final order was changed by the sta tute, and the plea in bar taken away : and Mr. Justice Maule, in giving judgment, said, `• I have read the statute through very carefully, and it seems to me to have been the intention of the legislature that the final order should no longer operate any further than as a protection to the person:" • • - • -. . At York Assizes, yesterday week, John Rodda, an Irish man who lived at Skipton, was tried for the wilful murder of his daughter, an infant twelve months old. The child died from vitriol or some such poison having been given to it : the man had bought some vitriol ; he had been left with the child just before it came ill and vomited a corro sive substance ; and he had remarked to people that he would get a sum of money from a burial society if the infant died. Rodda had other children entered in such societies, and used to talk of what he should get if they OF A NUN INTO THE ORDER OF THE RECEPTION SISTERS OF MERCY —On Monday, the ceremony of in vesting a young lady with the veil and holy habit of the Sisters of Mercy took place in the Trinity Chapel of the Convent, Dock-head, Bermondsey, in the presence of a large number of the English Roman Catholic clergy and laity. Miss Graham, the lady who took the veil, is about 20 years of age, and a member of a highly respectable fa mily in St. John's Wood. It is said that the young lady has provided munificently for the pecuniary wants of the Convent. Dr. Griffiths, the Roman Catholic bishop of the London district, officiated. THE ALLEGED DEATH FROM FLOGGING, AT HOUNS LOW.—The inquest on Patrick Frederick White, the soldier of the 7th Hussars whose death is alleged to have been occasioned by the infliction of , severe corporal pu nishment, was resumed on Monday, before Mr. Wakley, M.P. Several surgeons were examined as to the cause of death. The army surgeons and one civilian agreed that death had resulted from inflammation of the pleura and of the lining membrane of the heart. Mr. Erasmus Wilson, a civilian, attributed death, though in a remote degree, to the effects of the flogging. The inquest was again adjourned. RAILWAY LABOURERS.—We understand that /the fol lowing is a correct list of the different labourers em ployed on the different railways now in course of forma tion in Mid-Lothian :—On the Hawick branch of the North British Railway, at the Lothian Bridge section, 285; Newton Loan, 140; Kirkhill, 70; Gorebildge, 500; Cricbton Moss, 750; Half-la-Kell, 400; Borthwick, 110; Catcune, 70—in all, 2,325. Of these upwards of 1300 are Scotchmen, 1000 Irishmen, and only about 20 Englishmen. On the Caledonian Railway, at Slateford, 196 ; Riccarton, 123 ; Briggs, 28 ; and Kirknewton, 302 —in all, 649. Of these there are 300 Scotchrnen, the same number of Irishmen, and only about 30 English- FOREIGN COMPETITION.—We understand that serious apprehensions are entertained by the glass manufacturers in this district (Birmingham) that a certain portion of their trade trust must give way to foreign competition. Several Belgian travellers have lately offered for sale wine-glasses and tumblors at the merchants' warehouses in this town at from 2.3 to 35 per cent. cheaper than the same description of articles can be produced in this coun try. The same disadvantage to a still greater extent is apprehended with respect to ornamental glass. In the manufacture of articles requiring a great amount of en graving and cutting, the disadvantages against the British manufacturer are said to be very decided ; but in the manufacture of plate-glass there is little to be feared.— Aria's Gazette. DEPLORABLE OCCURRENCE—CAUTION.—A kitchen maid in the service of Mr. Snead, farmer, of Bridge Sollars has been a victim of the very foolish practice of using fire arms in play. On Friday week last, the girl and a servant lad were chasing each other round the tables, and he know ing that she was frightened at a gun, pOinted it at her, thinking it was unloaded, when unfortunately the- gun dropped from his hand upon the table, went off, and the poor creature, who was on the opposite side, received the charge of bird-shot in her face. Her mouth and tongue were very seriously injured, and she was rendered com pletely blind. Mr. Giles, surgeon, is attending her, and we are induced to hope that she will recover, there is diffi culty in getting at accurate information.

BIRMINGUAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—We are happy to find that the preparations and arrangements for our forthcoming festival are being carried on by the commit tee of management in a manner worthy of this great fea ture of the present musical season. Onr Town Hall has been decorated in a style of rich elegance peculiarly adapted for bringing out, to the highest effects, the beau ties of its architectural design • and this, together with the gorgeous embelli s h men t s an d improvements of its no ble and fine-toned organ, and the judicious alteration in the form of the orchestra, will at once render it (already one of the largest) the most superb, and, as to its appli ances, the most complete music room in Europe. The list of the band to be assnabled within its walls on this occasion contains the names of nearly the whole available first-rate instrumental talent at present to be found in the kingdom, and comprises nearly half a hundred violins, twenty violas, sixteen violoncellos, and ten double basses, balanced by thirty-two wind instruments. The choir, ad mirably trained, will consist of eighty sopranos, sixty altos, sixty tenors, and seventy-two basses. With such means as these, under the conductorship of Mendelssohn and Moscheles, and with an array of principal vocalists, the most eminent in their profession, what admirable re sults may be expected from the promised performances of the greatest works of Handel, Beethoven, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Spohr, B‘c. ! hut while the directors have been providing attractions calculated to draw the musical public to the metropolis of the midland counties, they have not been unmindful of the ease and ccrmfott of their visitors on their arrival. A register of lodgings has been opened at Mr. Harrison's, 30, Colmore Row, where per sons, desirous of engaging apartments during the festival, may, upon application, receive information in every way calculated to facilitate their wishes ; and a stranger's com mittee has been appointed to ballot for and select places for parties who cannot conveniently attend previous to the time of performance, or may wish to avoid the trouble of balloting for their own places. We understand that the detailed scheme of 'the performances will be imme diately published, and we expect great pleasure in referring to R.—Midland Counties Herald. MELANCHOLYSHIPWRECKES.—Information announc ing the total loss of the Mandarin and the Sir Walter Scott, and the melancholy fate of the crew of the Sir Walter Scott, by being frozen to death, has been received at Lloyd's within the last few days, the particulars of which are of the most painful description. The Mandarin was a vessel, barque-rigged, of a superior claFs, and was 500 tons burthen, commanded by Captain John Cleland. She belonged to Glasgow' and sailed from Calcutta in the latter part of February last, with 216 emigrants far Jamaica on board. Having landed t' sury, each ach £251 , at s t a h lfp i e p t o re r ! , a s n h d e shipped a valuable cargo of sugar, -i r e a other articles, and sailed for Liverpool on the 24th of April, and struck on a sunken rock, known as the Aligator Rock, at Key West. Every effort wai made by the master and crew to get off, but in coneequenee of the heavy sea it was impossible to accomplish this, and in a few hours she was full of water. Fortunately all on board were saved by the boats, and landed at Key West. The following day she fell over the rock, and became a total wreck. The loss will prove very heavy, and insurance to the amount of £20,000 are reported to have been effected on the vessel and cargo. The circumstances attending the loss of the Sir Waller Scott, Captain Byas, are of a lamentable character. It appears that for several months fears were entertained that she had been lost, no tidings of her having reached her owners since last Sep tember. Letters, however, have recently come to hand, stating the vessel to have been totally wrecked on the coast of Labradore, a month after she had left Quebec for Limerick. According to the accounts forwarded, she was driven aground during a snow storm, and the sea and ice breaking over. the captain and crew lashed themselves in the rigging, in hope that their position would be seen, and assistance rendered. In that perilous situation they remained for two days, and perceiving no chance of being rescued, they constructed a raft, and by that means suc ceeded in gaining the land. Here their condition was almost as bad. They wandered about for miles without meeting with any of the residents, or anything in the shape of relief. for five days When diicovered, with the intense cold and want of sustenance, they were reduced to the greatest exhaustion. The crew consisted of eighteen, fifteen of whom, including the master. perished from the intense suffering they had endured. She belonged to the port of Hull. The mate and two of the seamen are the surviv ors.—Mornitto Chronicle. DEATH OF A BEAST.—A glutton, at Kingsbridge, Devonshire, ate for a wager six pounds of bullock's liver, soaked in train oil, but died a few minutes after he had completed bis disgusting task. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS The engagement of M. Jullian and his unrivalled mu sical corps gave renewed zest and interest to the enter tainments at the gardens last week. The attendance on Monday and Tuesday was very numerous, and some fashionable parties were present. The concert took place in the Concert-hall, which was crowded to suffocation. The whole programme was so attractive, and the band has such a high reputation, that the crowds of anxious visitors were as eager to hear its combined effects as to receive delight from the individual efforts of the cele brateJ solo performers who were present, the renowned Vieuxtemps, the admired Herr Koenig, and otbers of not less note. It will be seen by the advertisement, that the public of Liverpool will have several more opportunities of hearing these 'celebrated artists, of which we advise them, by all means, to avail themselues. As our space is circumscribed, and we have been particularly requested to copy the following, which appeared recently in a contem porary publication, we must forbear to enlarge on the "Mons.

We perceive that a London contemporory thinks his performance of Don Juan is worth a pilgri mage to witness, and that he has refused the most flatter ing offers from the Italian manager. He is also the only person who has ever approached the mystic music of the Maestro Sphor, or interpreted the santastic work of the greatest poet of Germany, Goethe.
