(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.
LORD CLARENDON AND THE ORANGEMEN.—The
Grand Orange Lodge continues in secret deliberation,
and nothing definite as to its proceedings has yet
transpired. The arraignment of Lord Clarendon is
6611 under discussion, nor will the result be known
until Friday. According to the Evening Mail, the
delay does not arise from any doubt, difficulty, or dif-
ference of opinion amongst the Orange body respecting
the propriety of a full disclosure of the negotiation
carried on between that body and the recognised
agents of Lord Clarendon.
The opinion is uaiimous for a complete exposure
of the whole affair, but as the report is likely to be a
standing document of no little importance, it is re-
solved that it shall be carefully, clearly, and accurately
drawn up, and for this purpose time and deliberation
are requisite.
Mr. Corrie Connellan, it is announced this evening,
has resigned his office of Private Secretary to the
Lord-Lieutenant.
In the Court of Queen's Bench, this day, an appli-
cation was made for an absolute order to strike Mr.
John Reynolds, M.P., off the burgess roll ; the effect
of which would, if complied with, be to deter that
gentleman from serving the office of Lord Mayor, to
which he had been elected.

The Court, however, only granted a conditional
order, and the result is that the objection to Mr.
Reynolds' name remaining on the roll cannot be
discussed before the Ist of January, the first day of
next term after he is installed as Lord Mayor, and
if it is then ruled against him it is almost impossible
to say where the proceedings may terminate, certainly
not before his year of office is expired.

Domestic society is the prime charm of life. If
our tire-side is comfortable, we may despise the makvo-
knee or the ingratitude of the world, and bear with for
titude the injuries of fortune.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

TACCHINARDI.

The famous maestro di canto (and father of Madame
Persil:4mi) was in personal appearance very extraordinary.
Of diminutive stature, he possessed a large head and very
high shotri.ders, that almost approached deformity. lu
singing he z; ever moved or made a single gesture. He
was engaged once to sing at the Opera Italien, Paris.
Curiosity was pn the qui vine, for he was the most re-
nowned tenor his day. He merely sent to the
theatre to inquire the name of the opera in which he
was to perform, and sent word that he required no re-
hearsal. He therefore Arrived sans Aron, and with his
hat in one hand and his cane in another advanced in
front of the orchestra—a very statue—and without the
slightest motion, or stirring from his position, performed
his part in the concerted music, or sang his arias, think-
ing about as much of the libretto or the action of the
drama as of Utopia. He had been used to a public, which,
knowing his eccentricity, was accustomed to it. But
now it was otherwise—his appearance in the first in •
stance created evident disapprobation, quickly fol-
lowed by unmistakeable signs of derision, which at
length were succeeded by ill-repressed bursts of laughter.
Tacchinardi, perceiving the unfavourable impression 119
produced, stopped, approached more nearly to the foot-
lights, and saluting with a polite bow the auditory, said
—" Gentlemen! I have not come to show my person but
my voice. I am not to be looked at but heard. Be
good enough then to listen while I sing!" He then began
to sing his part, when his fine voice and exquisite taste
soon changed their derision to unanimous admiration
and applause.

ITALY.

The following letter, dated Rome, 26th ult., appears
in the Legge:—
" Colonel Chapuis.has not only resigned his situation
as Prefect of Police, but it would appear that, after a
warm discus ion with General Oudinot, he demanded
leave of ab;ence' to return to France. Yesterday,
Count Mamiani was summoned to the police-office,
where he was brutally informed that he should quit Rome
within twenty-four hours. He remonstrated against
such an, arbitrary abuse of power, but the only satis-
faction keL.cibtiained was, that he was told he was too
inflnentialqt man' to remain in Rome, and that if he did
not quit within the period specified he should be expelled
by force. All the respectable inhabitants are horrer-
struck ekthis proceeding, for all parties are agreed that
Count Mamiani• is - as remarkable for his political
courage as for his literary merit. We expected much
from France, but we find that our hopes were ill-founded."
London, England, 1849-08-07

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

The intelligence is confirmed that Schleswig-
Holstein has agreed to the condition of the armistice
which involves the subjection and submission of the
Duchies. The Provisional Government of the Du-
chies has signified its resolution to act in concert with
Prussia, in all respects, in carrying out and main-
taielog tho:e conditions in the Duchies. M. Bele-
mann, the deputy from the Government to the Prus-
sian Minister, Count Brandenberg, stated that the
great majority of the National Assembly coincided
in the opinion of the Provisional Government, that
co-operation with Prussia alone would lead to the
saving of the Duchies.
The Cologne Gazette, in giving the above particu-
lars, comments on the silent resignation which has
surrendered the first violent conviction of righteous
indignation at the terms of the armistice, and says
that every other resolve in the present state of affairs
would infallibly have been a ini,fortune to Germany,
and highly detrimental to the Duchies. At present,
however, says the Cologne Gazette, it is only an
armistice, and not peace, which has been concluded,
which scandalously involves the honour of Germany
and the freedom of the Duchies. In every
land the national representatives are now assembling,
it is their duty to save the Duchies. If they succeed
in arousing the Government, and especially Prussie,
from their weak ministerial footing ; if, above all, a
federal state be completed, Schleswig-holstein will
not be lost to Germany.
" With regard to the articles of the armistice which
have given rise to so much popular discontent and in-
dignation, their very existence," says a Berlin corre-
spondent of the Borsenhalle, "is void of all foundation,
as far, at all events, as regards the Government of the
Duchies, the future position of the Schleswig-Hol-
stein army, and, finally, the indemnity for the Chris-
tian VIII. ship of the line. The acceptance of the
armistice by the Duchies will, doubtless, call forth
severe censure in many quarters, but after the first
storm has subsided, and men's minds have calmed
down, it wll be generally acknowledged that the ter-
mination, and probable final adjustment, of the
lengthened warfare between Denmark and her de-
pendencies, involving as it did a national German
war, is the wisest and most-politic course they could
have adopted.
STUTTGARD, JULY 27.—1 n the sitting of the
Chambers this day a report was made relative to the
new loan of three millions. It has been undertaken
by the National Bank, the house of Rothschild, in
Frankfort, and Benedict in Stuttgard, at the rate of
90 per cent. The payments are to be made by in-
stalments till October 31st. The interest will be 4}
per cent. The Chambers listened patiently to these
not very brilliant conditions, and then proceeded to
the order of the day.—llamburgh Papers.

TAIT.

This is an excellent number of Tait. The first
article, " Reform the Law," is worthy of perusal, and,
more than that, worthy of being put in practice. The
second is upon that now peculiarly interesting topic,
" The Hungarian War." " A Shetland Lochinvar"
relates a romantic tale, of a similar character to that
of Scott's popular ballad. The " Modern Vassal" is
continued, and promises to increase in interest. "A
Tale of the Mexican Gulf," and a well-written
article, " There and Back Again," by Mr. St. John,
are commenced. " Sketches from Highland Tradi-
tion," " The University of Oxford, its Defects and
Remedies," and the ordinary " Registers," literary
and political, &c., complete the list of contents of
Tait for August.

The powerful influence of the sun on the skin at this period
of the year calls for increased attention in preserving its delicacy and
beauty. The most pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable
object is
RO-WL ANDS' K AL YDOR,
so deservedly established in Royal and Public favour and estimation.
Its application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and induces
that healthy action of the microscopic vessels of the skin, by which
its delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckle?, Tan,
Spots, Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the
KALYDOR, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa-
rency of complexion. Ladies travelling or taking out-door exercise
will find it to diffuse a grateful and refreshing feeling. In cases of

insurrection in Bosnia. This insurrection has been
Tormented by the Russians, and the Agram Gazette
is the organ of JELLACPICEI, therefore its stietements
must be received with reserve. It says—

"7 he insurgents, to the number of 12,000, have
quitted Posviz3, and have arrived at Bihac, where they
summoned the Puha Bkcevic to open the city gates.
The Pz.clia replied that he could do so only by order of
the Sultan, upon which the insurgents attacked the
fortress. The Yachts has been defending the fortress for
three days with his adherents, which do not exceed 300

II ANDEL.

Our phlegmatic composer being once requested by Dr.
Greene, no mean musician of his day, to peruse and give
his opinion of an anthem which he had just composed,
invited the latter to come and take coffee with him the
next morning, when he would inform him what he
thought of it. Accordingly the aspirant for Handel's
opinion wail punctual to the appointed hour, coffee was
served, and a number of various topics discussed. The
Doctor, burning with anxiety to hear Handel's opinion of
his manuscript, fidgeted and grew uneasy, but the wily
German, as it amused at the torments of his visitor, still
avoided speaking about it. At length the Doctor, no
longer able to control his impatience, exclaimed, " W(11,
Sir, but my anthem, what is your opini,n of it?" " Ach
your antem ' rEspondul Handel," your antem? vy I tilt
hang it out of de window." " Out of the window—
hang my anthem out of the window," repeated the
Doctor in a burst of anger, " what on earth for, Sir?"
" Vy—l did link it vanted AIR, Sir, deat noes all!"

in number. They have been obliged to have reeourse
to their cannon, and the Pacha has sent to demand as-
sistance from Bosnia. Unhappily, the Government of
Bosnia is unable to comply immediately, being obliged,
in the first instance, to procure orders from Constan-
tinople. Mahorsed Bey and Effeadi Bey have fled to
Oitraca, where they have entrenched themselves. A
fine has been set upon the head of Keric, the prin-
cipal of the insurgents. An attempt has already been
made to assassinate him, which, however, proved
abortive.
Accounts have been received from Wallachia and
Moldavia at Constantinople. Sickness and famine
prevail to an awful extent throughout those princi-
palities. The track of the Russian army is marked
by the ruins and smouldering remains of entire
towns and numerous villages. All the crops have
been trampled down by the Muscovite cavalry, and
the putrid bodies of the slaughtered inhabitants by
the road side have brought on a pestilence. Com-
merce is at a stand, and the merchants are all bank-
rupts. Petitions are daily pouring in upon the
Sultan and his Ministers, who send them on to the
representative of the Czar, but no attention is paid
thereto.
The Turkish army is kept upon a war footing, and
should the Magyars given the Russians and Austrians
a severe check, there is every hope that Turkey will
oin them in expelling Russia from the Principalities.

THE FARJAER' S.

The Farmer's Magazine for August is of more
than average excellence. The first article is an in-
teresting inquiry into the impurity and purification
of water. Among the rest of the contents are arti-
cles on " Manure from House-fed Animals," " Ad-
vantageous Grazing of Sheep and Cattle," " Hay-
making," " Forcing Strawberries," a report of the
lecture on the " Anatomy, &c., of the Organs of
Respiration, with particular reference to pleuro-
pneumonia in the Ox," delivered at the recent agri-
cultural meeting at Norwich, by Professor Simonds,
&c. The various proceedings of the great Norwich
meeting are, of course, amply detailed in the Farmer's
Magazine.

SHARPE' S LONDON.
The principal attraction in Sharpe's this month is
a beautifully engraved view of Buda and Pesth, from
a painting by Bartlett. Miss Pardoe has contributed
an article on Hungary in 1849, which (notwithstand-
ing its liberal sentiments) is far from according with
our views, as one sentence will sufficiently testify.
Miss Pardoe speaks of the llungarians as struggling,
she fears, hopelessly against a colossal enemy, who
can scarcely fail eventually to overwhelm them by
numbers, whereas the ultimate triumph of the Hun-
garians is, in our opinion, almost beyond a doubt.

ITALY.

The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 24 inst., brings
accounts from Venice of the 29th ult. The Assembly
had decreed, by a considerable majority, the levy of
600 seamen, from 18 to 30 years of age, and of 1,200
civic guards, between 20 and 30. The greatest tran•
quillity prevailed in the city. The Austrians were
labouring to establish a new battery of heavy artillery,
at San Giulano. The command of the troops sta-
tioned at Malghero and Alestre was confided to
General d'Aspre, who is not a man for half
measures. The correspondent of the Risorgimento
states that the besieged would bold out so long as
they had any provisions left. They had of late
strengthened their second line of defence. The
Austrians bad abandoned the siege works on the
side of Brandolo, on account of the fever, which deci-
mated their ranks. The Commander of the Austrian
fleet had notified his determination not to allow Eng-
lish or French vessels to enter the harbour.
The Concordia announces that the Austrian block-
ading squadron had been reinforced by the Neapolitan
war steamer Delfino.

SALMON FISHING.—The fishing of the Tay has
greatly improved of late, and particularly this week, in
consequence of the spate in the river from the late
rains. Wednesday morning there was a remarkably
large take at all the stations in this quarter. At one
tide about 400 were caught at the town's fishings at
Elcho and Inchyra; and from 100 to 200 each at several
other stations, Seggieden, the North Inch, &c. The
great proportion now are grilses; but we saw ten salmon
whose joint weight was upwards of 2001bs. So many
grilses at this season holds out the prospect of good
salmon fishing next year. Prices here have fallen to 6d
per lb. for grilse, and Sd per lb. for salmon.—Perth
Courier.
DEVONFORT.—A MAN BURIED aT MISTAXE.—A
man belonging to a yacht was taken ill of fever, and
conveyed to the workhouse, where he died. He was
placed in a coffin, and taken to the dead-house. Infor-
mation of the event was sent to the wife, living fat Yar-
mouth, and that the body would be kept a tew days it
she wished to attend. A man named Gyder having died
also, wag placed in a coffin, and removed to the same
place. In the course of the day the funeral. of the man
who died of cholera was to take place, but in removing
the corpse they took the man who died of fever, and he
was followed by the relatives of Gyder. The following
morning the wife arrived, who, having expressed a wish

SHARPE' S LONDON.

The principal attraction in Sharpe's this month is
a beautifully engraved view of Buda and Pesth, from
a painting by Bartlett. Miss Pardoe has contributed
an article on Hungary in 1849, which (notwithstand-
ing its liberal sentiments) is far from according with
our views, as one sentence will sufficiently testify.
Miss Pardoe speaks of the Hungarians as struggling,
she fears, hopelessly against a colossal enemy, who
can scarcely fail eventually to overwhelm them by
numbers, whereas the ultimate triumph of the Hun-
garians is, in our opinion, almost beyond a doubt.

TUPPER'S TALES.
The first number of a popular edition of the popular
tales of Martin Farquhar Tupper has just been issued.
In size and appearance this volume is similar to Mur-
ray's " Home and Colonial Library." The tale con-
tained in this first part is " The Crock of Gold, a
Tale of Covetousness;" it is illustrated with a frontis-
piece by Leech

TAIT.
This is an excellent number of Tait. The first
article," Reform the Law," is worthy of perusal, and,
more than that, worthy of being put in practice. The
second is upon that now peculiarly interesting topic,
" The Hungarian War." " A Shetland Lochinvar"
relates a romantic tale, of a similar character to that
of Scott's popular ballad. The " Modern Vassal" is
continued, and promises to increase in interest. " A
Tale of the Mexican Gulf," and a well-written
article, " There and Back Again," by Mr. St. John,
are commenced. " Sketches from Highland Tradi-
tion," " The University of Oxford, its Defects and
Remedies," and the ordinary " Registers," literary
and political, &c., complete the list of contents of
Tait for August.

THE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE.
The Journal of Agriculture, and the Transactions
of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland,
contains an article on the game-laws,-which advocates
the preservation both of the " peasant " and the
" pheasant," so as to afford amusement to the ricb,
without injury to the poor.

H ANDEL.

Our phlegmatic composer being once requested by Dr.
Greene, no mean musician of his day, to peruse and give
his opinion of an anthem which he had just composed,
invited the latter to come and take coffee with him the
next morning, when ho would inform him what he
thought of it. Accordingly the aspirant for Handers
opinion was punctual to the appointed hour, coffee was
served, and a number of various topics discussed. The
Doctor, burning with anxiety to hear Handel's opinion of
his manuscript, fidgeted and grew uneasy, but the wily
German, as if amused at the torments of his visitor, still
avoided speaking about it. At length the Doctor, no
longer able to control his impatience, exclaimed, " Well,
Sir, but my anthem, what is your opinion of it?" " Ach
your antem responded Handel, " your antem? Ty Idi t
hang it out of de window." " Out of the window—
hang my anthem out of the window," repeated the
Doctor in a burst of anger, " what on earth for, Sir?"
"Vy—l did fink it vanted AIR, Sir, daat vaas all!"

INDEPENDENCE OF HUNGARY.

Hungary had risen to establish a red republic, and that
I did not care whether they were in favour of a red re-
public ornot.—("lVhy should you?") Now, that was a
total misrepresentation; because I never said that the
people of Hungary had risen for any such purpose, and
such is not the fact; but a hat I did say was, that the
people of Hungary happened to have had for eight cen-
turies institutions very similar to our own—(Cheers)---
that they had lived under a King, a House of Lords, and
a house of Commons; that they were not struggling
for a red republic, nor for any republic ; but I added,
that if they were striving for a 'republic, that would be
no reason why I should withhold my sympathy from
them.—(Loud cheers.) That is entirely in harmony
with what I have said just now—that every
people have the right to determine by what institutions
they will be ruled.—(Cheers.) But our enemies thought
that it would do them good to put an untruth into my
mouth, and to say that the struggle of the Hungarians
was for a purpose for which it never was.—(Hear, hear.)
Their Government is very like ours, and very like us
(Cheers.) Their Government in times past has not
been so liberal as it ought to have been—(Hear, hear)
—and, very like ourselves, the Hungarians in later times
h. ave determined, they having lived under a constitution
into which abuses had crept, to get rid of those abuses
and to establish a reform—(Hear)—and to do away with
all those blots which have previously defaced their insti-
tutions.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I think that the Hon.
Gentleman who moved the first resolution, in a speech
replete with ability and information, fell into a
alight error, which, I am sure, he will for.
give my endeavouring to correct, or rather
I should say into an anachronism, when he spoke to you
of the privileges which are now possessed by the nobles
of Hungary. It is perfectly true that those nobles did
possess privileges; that they alone who were called
nobles, but who were much more like the class which
we know as freeholders than any other—that they alone
had a right to Tote for Members of Parliament; but
that was in times past, and in later times, under the in-
spiration and direction of the noble Kossuth—(Loud
cheering)—those privileges have been done away with;
the suffrage has been thrown open—(Cheers)—and
if
it has not been made altogether universal, it yet is more
extended now than it is in this country—(Hear, hear)—
more than it has been in any other country in Europe.
—(Cheers.) The Hungarians have bad the sense to see
what faults there were in their constitution, and the

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy if a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Mira Bar,

" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.

" Six,—Havlng suffered most dreadfully for the last sLx years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke In
the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my Life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and tt•ey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects •f this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.

They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking-the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.
