The most appalling accidents are constantly impeding
the progress of steam navigation in the 'United States.
To the sad list of disasters lately reported we hare to
add the destruction of the steam boat Erie by fire on the
9th of August, and the loss of one hundred and seventy
lives. Of the unfortunate persons -thus prematurely
consigned to a watery grave, about one hundred and
forty were Swiss and German immigrants in pursuit of
freedom and happiness in the new world, denied to them
in the old. .Ttie property destroyed is estimated at
300,000 dollar:. The spot where the Erie was burnt in
August 1841 witnessed the destruction by fire of the
Washington in June, 1838.
The "'resident of the United States has appointed the
Hon. E. Everett American Minister at the Court of
London, in the room of Mr. Stevenson, who is recalled.
Mr. Everett, we understand, is not a save-breeder, and
after all that has taken place during the residence of Ivir.
Stevenson among us, we should be disposed to regard the
appointment of a slave-ho!der to the fjnctions of an Am-
bassador to a e British Court as an act of discourtesy to-
wards a most respectable class of her Majesty'S subjects,
if not to the Government of this c ountry.
On the recal of Mr. Fox Mr. Webst ,r proposes to
change the st at of negociations with England from New
York to Washin:ttoa. Uounnon sense suggests that the
place for carrying en negociations is the seat of the
legislative anu e.,ecutive department; of the Federal
Go vernmeL t.

M. de Bodisco, the .lussian Minister at Washington,
who recently espoused an A aerican wife, is about to
be recalled. Rumour states that he is to be sent to
Vienna, which we doubt, that postbeing always reserved
for first-rate Russian diplomatists.
Baron Al arechall, the Austrian Minister at Washing-
ton, has also been recalled by his Court.
From Lisbon we have news of the 23d inst. The
bread-taxers of Portugal are a set of as hard-hearted
scoundrels as their brother monopolists in any part of
the wJrld. 'Though bread is as dear in Lisbon as in
London, a la'. downe: in the Cortes brought forward a
motion for prJrenting the importation of corn from tho
North to the South of Portugal, with a view to prevellt
the introduction of corn from Spain, where bread is
cheap and abundant. A Committee of Arts 'and Sci-
ences, to whom the motion was referred, reported
against it ; but a Committee of landowners declared so
strongly in favour of it, that it was supposed it would be
carried. This is carrying out the principle of monopoly
with a vengeance.' We expect next to hear of some Por-
tuguese legislator proposing a system of parochial Corn-
laws fur the protection of the parochial agricultural in-
terests.

The French Journals of Friday and Saturday are oc-
cupied with the proceedings in Parliament. The Debats,
ever " strong on the strongest side," attacks the Whigs
and praises the Conservatives, now that the former are
out, and the latter in. One paragraph in the article is,
however, worth quoting :--" The opening of Parlia-.
ment," says that Journal, " has given the Queen of Eng- •
land an opportunity for taking an honourable initiative in
expressing her satisfaction at the re-establishment of
harmony between the leading Powers of Europe. All
those who sincerely desire the peace of the world and the
true interests of humanity, will rejoice with us at seeing
friendly relations renewed between two nations, which
are at the head of civilisation and liberty. The English
Parliament replies negatively to many paragraphs of the
Speech, but that which announces that France has again
joined the family of European nations, was received with
unanimous approbation, and the tribute of respect paid
by the sneakers in both Houses, to the wisdom and cou-
rage of the King of the French and his Government, are
alike honourable to those who give and those who re-
ceive."
The Presse, alluding to this paragraph in the Speech
from the Throne, says :—" The language of the British
Government is a just homage to the influence of France.
Whilst France remained aloof, however united the other
Cabinets might seem to be, no person could flatter him-
self that the peace of Europe would not be disturbed ;
but‘now all chance of perturbation has disappeared, tor
we are in accord with Europe. This is a truth which
the English Government has solemnly recognised, and
we must be thankful for the acknowledgment, for it has
not been made without a great mortification of pride.
The Courrier Francais ridicules the silence of Sir
Robert Peel with regard to his policy, and says that the
hunger of the people will compel him either to resign or
to meet the bread-tax question.
The National says :—" The situation of Sir Robert
Peel is full of Peril. He has to cover the deficit of the
revenue, to modify the Poor-laws, and to diminish the
obstacles which in paralyzing commerce stifle produc-
tion, suspend labour, and enlarge the bleeding wound of
misery, which has arrived at such a depth in the social
body. He has to provide against the importation of
corn for the winter, and for the exportation of the gold
to pay for it. With this exportation of gold the value
of specie will rise, the rate of discount will be increased
to from twelve to fifteen per cent., credit will be shaken,
and disasters will accumulate. The resources of Eng-
land are undoubtedly great, and the national spirit full
of energy ; but the position of England is no longer
what it was ten years ago, and as the internal situation
of England always controls the foreigu policy, we may
venture to pre,liet thitt the Tory Ministry, weak at home, --
will continue abroad that restless and malevolent policy

by which the Whig Cabinet has for the last three years
disturbed the world. .

The &ale and the Quotidienne are equally hostile to
Whigs and Tories. The Constitutionnel sees the
progress of events a breaking up of the now triumpi'ant
Tory party. It observes upon the debate :—" I:h°
Whigs will leave the Ministry stronger and with more
influence in the country during their administration.
The ground upon which they have given battle is the
best they had ever chosen, and the best theme of
opposition that could be. defended is a good system
of finances, and the alleviation of the sufferings of the
people. Sir Robert Peel does not reveal his plans, and
the speeches which he made to the electors show
the care which he takes to elude the difficul-
ties of his position. He is himself moderate and concilia-
ting, but he has to keep peace with the casse-cous of his
party, whose votes have brought him into office. These
temporizations will last as long as possible, but a day will
arrive when the old Tories will be tired of treading in
the steps of the new Conservatives. In order that the
business of Government may be carried on, it will be ne-
cessary to come to an understanding with the moderate
party of the Opposition, and to submit to the conditions
which it may think proper to impose. Sir R. Peel will
not, we imagine, consent to expose himself to the retro-
grade experiments desired by, the old Tories, and whit
would infallibly lead to political and social revolution.
The state of the crops in the North of France is ex-
ceedingly satisfactory.
The French have finally abandoned-the hospital in di*
island of Del Rey (Minorca). The last of the sick are
now at Toulon.
The capitalists at Madrid were ready on th

when the Tories- discuss an act upon great- principies
i'then we will join with our rJontemporary in trunpeting
their praises ; but till Ojen,
we shall take leay.l to be
sceptical. Tory princijele—except it be the principle of
self-interest--is a ci4racteristic feature we have yet •to
discover in the fac'cion. Hitherto—at least for the last
twelve year s- —the Tories have been remarkable only
for their fir ig,rant, inconsistencies, abandoning one after
another every Vaeory they held most material to good
governmet it. 'They have irwer marched in the van of

• j Parliament ; but they owe this, not to their
sn IT its, not to their own fixed principles, but to the
demerit
.s of the Whigs. To talk, therefore, of the " great
prince des" of the Tories, is the rankest absurdity.
;quote the following from the Chronicle :—" Sir
"‘"`-'w •rt knows better than to state that he will maintain
his own opinions in office. But, for all that, we know
it his opinions Must be consistent with the opinions of
''"' ose who gave him his majority. The phrase that he
W ill relinquish office the moment that he is not sup-
r •orted by the confidence of the House, means merely that
:11 .vhen he can no longer stay in he Still go out. It is the
, walking down stairs to avoid being kicked down stairs."
We agree with the Chronicle that for all Sir Robert Peel's
fine boast of independence, he must in all essential
natters be at the mercy of his supporters. How can
1 le be just to the Dissenters without offending the high
3hurch party ? How can he bring forward a liberal
theme of education, suited to the character of the age,
vithout provoking the fury of the Episcopal Bench ?
hippoe_ed by Monopolists, how can he knock the fetters
o ff die and commerce ? Bound to the interests of the
IA rent landholders, how can he make such alterations in
• he 'Corn-law as shall satisfy the community ? The
"itr cost he can do will be to substitute the name of Re-
:1:0" rmfor the thing itself', and from time to time to hold
ut hopes that he will never fulfil, because they are pur-
:'posely vague and indefinate. We predict that his Mi-
nistry will be one rather of negative good than of posi-
' tire injury to the country-
' The Monmouthshire Merlin thus speaks of the sup-
porters of the Corn-laws :—" We accuse the bread-
taxet s of being arrayed in a state of permanent conspi-
racy against every class of their neighbours, and more
directly against the interests of the mining population.
We state the grounds of this conviction to be, the prohi-
bition of access to foreign markets, caused by the land-
ocracy's refusal to accede to the principle of reciprocity
• ' in trade—their endeavours to restrict the demand for
corn to a limited home supply—and as the fatal, yet as
the i'levitable consequences of all, the consequent lower-
•ing. of the labourer's wages, and decrease of the capi-
ta) ist's profit."
The Cambrian expresses itself as follows on the sub-
fleet of the late Manchester Conference :—" The Man'.
.hester Conference gives cheerful token that the mirds-
• of the Gospel are not forgetful of their sacred
4 tilling in their endeavours to succour the poor. The
• •gans of the monopolists may denounce the,in as poli-
ti cal priests, as seditious sectarians, :is isnorant pre-
ss intermeddlcrs, and expend Yvon them their
W ell-nigh inexhaustible vocabulary of insolent malig-
n! .nt abuse ; at least they cannot call them Priests of
11, ial, or High Priests of Mammon. When monopoly is
nounced by all the spiritual pastors of the people, who
• e held in any degree of honour, its doom cannot be far
.stant."
The Manchester Times, allue.ing to the Earl of Ripon's •
ipeee'a in the House of Lords says—" There is no finding
I he fitting time fur these ptissessors of hereditary wis-
' ie m. When the country was, silent upon the question
' ad! the Corn-law there wis no occasion for its discussion;
0 nd now, when men hr a maddened by the cpntinuance
o f an intolerable oppression, it is not the time to
.11 ike it into consideration. His Lordship's reply is
iat of the cow-hiding Virginian planter, " I shan't -
• case hiding you, b ,?.cause you cry out:" But the
tl le time is perhaps not far distant when the lash may
hange hands.
The Hereford Times says :—" The Liberal party, asi. a
'hole, is now diosrupted ; there is no grand connecting
nk, holding all parties together, and affording a cable
'ith which the vessel of freedom may safely ride
t anchor, in the harbour of any port for which she may
3 d estined. The numerous titles by `which the various
se.c)..ions of the Liberals are distinguished, themselves are
• ns of weakness., Old and new Whigs, Radicals, and
C.faartists, are all by the Tories classed as Liberals."
The Dover Chronicle speaks of the Tories in the fol-
j b swing terms :—" The conduct of the dominant Tory •
iajority, in refusing to meet the Corn-law question ,
11 iirly, we hold to be one of the most cowardly, mean, ,
nd skulking subterfuges- ever resorted to by any set of
b idividuals bearing the character of rational men—gen-
t :emen is out of the question."
The Scotsman says of the Queen's Speech ;—" It
t oldly addresses itself to the great and paramount ques-
- t ions of the day, and to the critical embarrassment in
R 'filch the nation is at present placed. There cannot be
4 dou'al., that it speaks the genuine sentiments of her Ma-
' je sty, and that, almost for the first time in the recent his-
. „,t4 'IT of Great Britain, the Crown entertains a large and
y sympathy with the wants and wishes of the people."

REPEAL DINNER TO MR. O'CON-
NELL, LAST NIGHT.

Last night a dinner was given to Mr. O'Connell by-
the Repealers of London, at Highbury Barn Tavern.
Mr. O'Connell himself presided. The room was crowded
to excess, and there could not have been less than 700
persons present. On the right of the Chairman sat the
Rev. N. P. Magee, L.D., Dillon Brown, Esq., M.P., W.
J. O'Neil Dumont, Esq., and Mark Blake, Esq , and on
his left was Mark Blake, Esq., M.P., The Very Rev
Dr. Kinmen, Rev. J. Harrington, M. J. O'Connell, Esq.'
and Sir Valentine Blake, Bart.
On the cloth being removed,
The CHAIRMAN rose amidst great cheering. He said
the first toast they were aware would be the Queen—
(Cheers)—a toast which at any time required no preface
At the present moment, he believed, she lived with a'
more throbbing interest in the breasts of her loyal sub-
jects, by having been vanquished by a selfish, sordid portion
of the community.—(Cheers.) She was no longer her
own mistress. She had fallen into the hands of a selfish
faction.—(Cheers.) They might coerce her, but they
never could extinguish her patriotic disposition.—(Loud
cheers.) She had been the first Monarch of the House
of Brunswick that really was attached to the liberties of
the people, and above all, she was the only Monarch of
her race that had , manifested an affectionate disposition
in favour of her loyal subjects of Ireland.—(Great
cheering.) He gave them, " The Queen, long life and
happiness to her."—(Great cheering.) Band, " God
save the Queen."
_ _

The CIiAIRMAN said, the next he had to propose, in-
cluded in its ,scope many individuals. They were first
called upon to show their respect to an exemplary young
gentleman who had the good fortune and the merit to
obtain the affections of our gracious Sovereign.—
(Cheers.) They had next to shew their affection to a
little young lady, the progeny of the last he had named.
She was too young to have earned any thing for herself
in the way of public affection ; but if she had as vet pro-
duced no personal virtues, she had this personal merit,
she prevented a great mischief.—(Cheers.) Her person
was a protection against one of the worst of human
beings that ever existed, and he only wished them to
reflect for one moment if at such a period as the present
the sordid aristocracy had it in their power to place the
Duke of Cumberland on the throne. It was too dreadful
to think of.—(Cheers.) The circumstances of the country
were bad enough now, but what would they be then ?
If such were the case, he doubted if it would remain long
so, There were some that would hare a short c u t.—(Laugh-
ter.) The next part of the toast was, " The Duke of
Sussex, the liberal patron of civil and religious liberty."
—(Cheering.) And to that he was directed to add the
rest of the Royal Family resident in England.—(Great
cheering.)
The CitAinmAx then called on Mr. Hogan to propose
the next toast, " The Repeal of the Union."-,-(Cheers).
Mr. HoGAN then rose to propose the toast. Ireland,
he said, had confided to him the toast of' the Repeal of
the Union. It was for them to join him in the attempt
to dissolve that union which had caused slavery and
penury throughout the land, and it would run on in the
state until there was a Parliament in Ireland, whether
one or other of the fanctions ruled in England. It was
impossible to have their rights developed—to have the in-
dustry
of their sons developed, unless they had 'a
domestic
Parliament—(Cheers)—and unless her chief joined, Ire-
land would remain as she now was. The Liberator
would be powerless unless they supported him, and unless
the real chiefs of Ireland surrounded him.—(Cheers.) It
was by these means alone that they could see him stand-
ing urging the Repeal of the Union.—(Loud applause.)
Band, " St. Patrick's Day in the Morning."—(Cheers.)
Mr. O'GOII3IAN then briefly proposed the health of
Mr. O'Connell.

Mn. O'CONNELL then rose and was received with the
most deafening shouts, which lasted for several minutes.
When silence was restored, he said there was but little of
affectation in the readiness with which he declared to
them that he never felt greater pleasure in addressing a
public assembly than he did then.—(Cheers.) There was
an animating spirit about him. His bosom's lord sat
lightly on its throne. His heart throbbed for the great
battle of the country over again.—(Cheers.) They had
come to the period when there could be no submission to
friends on the one hand or compromise on'4,ne other. They
must now have Radical reform freln England—reform
to the extension of the suffrege.—(Cheers.) He would
use the words universal, suffrage but that it was not re-
quired. Even the Chartist, when lie used it, did not mean
what he said, '4.s it would include a certain portion of the
communit:;, who, although they were not without influ-
ence,. -iv was not necessary that they should have a vote ;
}rat universal suffrage would .include them, and it would
include the idiot, the lunatic, and the convict, and there-
fore he used the words general suffrage. England re-
quired further reform, and Ireland required the repeal
of the Union.—(Great cheerine;) He had only been a
Repealer for 40 years, and yet he seemed to himself to
be but just beginning to enter into that career. He had
certainly no antipathy to England or the English ; but
England had done more injustice to Ireland than
ever any other nation suffered. There never
was such a history of plunder, massacre, and
wholesale spoliation and deliberate confiscation. lie
did not visit the crimes of former days on the present
generation, but there were many hearts in En;',and,
loyal hearts, that blushed for the deeds of ances-
tors.—(Cheers.) What virtues had th" 7Tories? When
did. they ever diminish a public 'eurthen ? When did
they ever refuse to augment the public burthens r had
they not incurred a d'atit of 800,000,0001. 15 They were
economists when the income of Prime Albert was pro-
posed. But he would ask them Why they did not begin
with taking off the salary of the King of Hanover?—
(Cheers.) The only instance of Tory economy was in
that of Prince Albert's allowance, and then they com-
mitted the crime of personal indignity to the Monarch
on the throne. But they thought fit to give Queen
Adelaide a hundred thousand a-year. If they were to
propose to increase the suffrage, or abolish the property
qualification, or make the constituencies equal, or re-
duce them to common-sense limits, he would then
say, " John Ball, you are right; these are friends of free-
dom—these are the men who will extend political rights,
and then he would say, John Bull, you are right to cry
hurrah for the Tories. —(Cheers.) But it was the reverse.
Suppose a man was taken up for smuggling, and was
tried before my Lord Abinger, he would tell him, yon
must submit to the law that you yourself have assisted
in making. What would be the use of the man's say-
ing, "But place your honour's Lordships, I never had a
vote at all."—(Loud laughter and cheers.) But John
Bull gloried in his present position, and the party that
had put 800 millions of debt on him, and who would
impoverish the people to make the rich richer and the
poor man still poorer—poor indeed. He was reasoning
within commonsense—an article very rare in these cli-
mates, for if it were not would the Tories be triumphant?
—(Cheers.) He remembered when he was hunting last
year in Ireland, a young man was in his company who
was a great romancer, and told a great many lies. He
(Mr. O'Connell) said to a young friend of his, "If
you can beat that I will give you a premium."
He said he had read the Times newspaper for a whole
month, and he had not discovered a single lie' in it.
—(Great laughter and cheering.) It was unanimously
agreed that his young friend had won. But that wager
told the truth for once, for the devil himself would tell
the truth sometimes, and it appeared in that paper that
the late elections in England had cost 50 times as much
as any rreeeding election. The Tories came forward
with boa' their hands full, and they emptied the contents
into the pockets of the electors. " Ireland," exclaimed
Mr. O'Connell, " here, oh, here, are you avenged ; your
oppressed, your faithful electors are avenged." I • saw
myself a man take 751. out of his pocket, when he was
asked for whom he would vote, and he said, " I never in
the whole course of my life had one shilling of my own
money. I have my landlord pressing for his rent, I can
now pay him ten times over. I could hardly have sup-
posed there was so much money. I got it from the
Tories, and I will vote for Mr. O'Connell."—(Tremendous
cheers.) He (Mr. O'Connell) never flattered the great
or mighty of the earth and he would speak plainly to
the people. He had risked his existence readily, when
he found the day was against him in Dublin, and he
was exposed to considerable violence. But there is
not a man of them now that does know that he (Mr.
O'Connell) was right. They were then insti-
gated by a party to mischief. When the Tories
apppealed to the country a cry was raised that
the farmers were in danger, and bread would be cheap.
The landlords will no longer be able to get in their rents,
and there will be that blessing, they, the children, will
have two slices of bread, instead of one.—(Cheers.) What
would they now say to the common sense of John Bull ?
They would recollect the story of John Bull and the
Frenchman. The Frenchman was praising his country,
and her arts, and said, "We invented ruffles to tv• e
shirts, therefore our nation is superior to yours." "-ires,,,
-.
answered John Bull, ".but invented the shirt.„
But now John Bull is shirtless and euffleless too, yet
still he'clings to that party that ',las made him so.—
7 earth would be benefitted
--(Cheers.) If any country o
by the Corn-laws it would oe Ireland. He represented
two of the largest 117„-cieultiiral counties in Ireland. He
was for liberty, sP..e.ial and religious; for freedom of human
actions wher; they are unstained by crime; for freedom of
human belief where it was sincere in the face of God. He
cared, not what colour the human being possessed; he cared
wet what dust he was of, whether he was parched by a
tropical sun, or blanched by a northern atmosphere,
or whether he was an inhabitant of the over-populated
cities of China. He was the friend of his freedom.—
(Tremendous cheering.) Such was his political creed.
He need hardly say, he should devote his whole exertion'
to Ireland. Ireland had not -so many friends that she
could spare to lose him. It was the thought of bene-
fitting Ireland that made him young again ; but he was
young enough.—(Laughter and cheering.) • He had
not spent his youth in intemperance—and now
a green old age had come upon him.—(Cheers.)
He had sat in the Irish Parliament in Dublin.—
(You will sit in it again.) It was there he spoke his
first speech, when he trembled to hear his own voice, and
his ears shrunk as it were at his own voice. He was
tolerably well acquainted with it now.—(Cheers.)
since that period there was not a single princin
political life that was not developed in '..mat srAL,;:
'and
(Cheers.) He had changed nothing in t'is prinek
if he had changed in his body he had with the
change experience.—(Hear.) :rears rtidd soon pass over
him and he should be in the g_rare:z.-(No, no.) They could
not add one hour to him. res, he soon would be in his '
grave, but he would he in the Irish Parliament first,
—(Tremendous cheering, which lasted for several trio-
mutes.) After that cheer, he could only say with Johnny I
Gil •
" I wish you'ma be all there 'CO see." In future
he would get the London NeWtpapers to print his ad-
nEa nt g
standla n d
dresses, and if there should be a prosecution, he would
sbuaiti cloar t
couldit in a Helric.oshulodnset.an—d(GanreEatngchliesehrjinugry),
His cause was fixed. Ireland dall the
:else her to an independentean had _ qualities to
nation, andthen only would
she be prosperous. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman
sat down amidst the most enthusiastic cheering.
The CHAIRMAN' then proposeA The People, the true
source of power."

MR ()WALLY reptled, and proposed Dr. Meyer, and
three times three.
Dr. MEYER respon4ed. Whatever he had clone was
not for one man, but for the country ; and his conscience
told him he wairight.---(chers.) .That was a glorious
day for them, for they. .had amongst them the father of
their native land.—(Chceri„): Let them be true to them-
selves, and, above alt,-4ticic to their liberator.—(Cheers.)

Mr. Ini,Lor;r BROWNE replica, and after a few other
toasts, the meeting separated. •
The gallery was filled with ladies, who seemed to
take a deep interest in the proceedings, joining in the
cheers given to Mr. O'Connell.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice EnsKINE.)
Charles Munday and William Henry Dacres, the master
and the mate of a steam-vessel called the, Richmond, were in-
dicted for killing and slaying Edward Lewis.
Air. BODKIN stated,that on the 16th of August last the
deceased was in company with several young men fishing
in the river above • fllichmond-bridge, ready opposite
the scat of the Duke of Buccleugh. Four of the party
were. in a punt, and two others were in a skiff attached
o tl e punt. The pa4ies were in this position about
five o'clock in the afternoon, and the steamer Richmond
at that time was coining fi mu Twickenham, and the young men
having their backs towards the steamer, did not perceive it
approaching, when it struck the punt, and the whole party
were precipitated into the water. The whole of the party
succeeded in extricating themselves except the deceased, who
was unfortunately drowned. Verdict—Not
Francis Pearsc, 31, was indicted for feloniously cutting
stud wounding Henry Deale, with intent to maim and disable
him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Ballentine appeared for the prisoner.
It appeared from the evidence, that on the 3d inst. the pro-
secutor, the prisoner, and several other men, were in a public-
house together, and the prisoner quarrelled, and Pearse made
a blow at Deale, which he warded off, and then in his own
defence, struck the prisoner in the face, and the prisoner almost
instantly made a blow at his side, which caused him to feel a
slight pain, but at that time he did not know that he had
been stabbed, and he went hoire, when he found that his
clothes had been cut through, and that he had received a
severe wound in the side ; and after it had been dressed by a
surgeon he was conveyed to the hospital, where he had re-
mained down to the present time. Upon the prisoner being
taken into custody a knife was found upon him, the blade and
handle of which were smeared with blew', and the size of the
blade =responded exactly with the cut in the prosecutor's
clothes. Both the prosecutor and the prisoner were intoxicated
when the affray took 'place between them.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was ordered to
be kept to hard labour in the House' of Correction for two
years.
