" (An Essay for 1846.)
" Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd.
Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ;
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :-'How to ensure perfeet digestion, tranquil eelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions kerein contained the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea-
ture able to understanl ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now bidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, It is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such .knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the liy e advantages OR our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.
The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the. avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

SPURTING INTELLIGENCE.
GOODWOOD RACES.---WEDNESDAY.
Our return of Tuesday's racing, forwarded from the
ground, if not so fully in detail as we could have wished, or
as its importance merited—and for which our apolngy must
be, the difficulty of securing the receipt of our di IsrAtehes in
time to be available for publication on the following day—
will have shown that the snort was of a first-rate description,
realising to the winners 9,000/., and leaving the spectators
nothing to desire. The Craven Stakes failed to produce a
race; only three horses were named, and the Duke of Rich-
mond and Lord Geo. Bentinek having divided Mr. Grevillel
forfeit, Dawdle walked over, and at one o'clock business com-
menced in earnest with the Gratwieke Stakes; seven.others
followed, and, although the gentlemen jockeys. as usual, took
it easy, and of course were at lea -t a quarter of an hour
behind time in each of their races, so well did the profes-
sionals second the exertions of their starters, that Mr.
Clarke's fiat on the last event was given within three minutes
of the time appointed in the list.
We cannot say that the company was so large or so aristos
cratic, or that there was so much life in the scene as we have
witnessed at former meetings, nor was the betting by any
means brisk • the excessive closeness of the atmosphere, no
doubt, caused a disinclination to encounter the heat and
pressure of the "ring," and may account for the comparative
flatness of speculation. The business of the meeting, as we
intimated last week, was carried on in the ground-floor of the
Grand Stand, hitherto used for refreshment, and a great con-
venience it was to those who had not time or the means to
mount two pair of stairs. The new offices are cool and
spacious, and so well adapted to the purpose required that we
question if the contemplated new weighing-stand will be
erected. Mr. Careless, and several other caterers of less emi-
nence, "pitched" their tents above the enclosure, and offered
every temptation for the indulgence of the appetite ; we
would suggest, however, that a small refreshment-room
should be provided as near the enclosure as possible; evely-
thing at Goodwood is " against time," and those who are
able to secure a sandwich in the short interval between
the races, may consider themselves fortunate—for a betting
:man to run up to the second floor or half way down the
distance for this purposels out of the questions' We must
conclude our resume of the first day by stating that although
the down trains on Monday were one and all considerably
behind time, the specials were arranged with as much punc-
tuality as a single line of railway would admit of, greatly to
the accommodation of the -public, and without any con-
tingency of consequence.
With the second day necessity obliges us to deal briefly.
The races, according to the original anncuncement, should
have commenced at twelve o'clock ; instead of this, the match
between Growl and So Nice' which it was known would not
come off, was fixed for one, and the running in consequence
did not commence until half-past one. The change, we pre-
sume, was made for "honourable members." The card to be
got through embraced eight races, most of them with large
fields, and it was not therefore until near six o'clock that the
company were enabled to get away from the course; they
were thus an hour and a half on the ground longer than they
anticipated, and the Metropolitans, instead of reaching tLe
London-bridge station at nine, could not have been
delivered" before eleven. • It is unnecessary—in fact time
will not permit us—to give more than a mere sketch of the
sport. It was highly interesting from first to last, and
afforded ample scope for speculation. The weather was ex-
tremely favourable, but intensely hot, and the Company
larger and more respectable than on the first day.

Jericho, Alarm lying fifth, and Red Deer last. They ran in
this order to the Craven Stakes Course, where the second
place was taken by Jericho, Sir George and Alarm directly
after him, becoming third and fourth. At the distance Wolf-
dog was joined by the favourites, and beaten instanter, and
Jericho went on with a slight lead of the crack, the two being
now singled out a long way in advance. The race was con-
tested with great severity to the end, Alarm never obtaining
the adVantage until near the chair, and then winning only by
a head. Nothing was near the two. Run in 5 min. 39 sec.

wheeled round and got off at the first word, Clumsy taking
the lead, followed by Pic Nic, Jonathan Wild, Camera Ob-
scure, Maid of Lyme, and several others, all light weights.
The Hero lying in the rear with Red Robin, Alamode, and
others, of the heavy divisior. They ran thus at a 4. split-
ting" pace to the top of the hill in going out, where Ima
showed in front and went on with the running almost round
the hill to the last turn. The Hero then took the com-
mand, and with Dulcet, Jonathan Wild, Camera Obscura,
Giantess, and Red Robin, laid-up, cut out the work to the
stand, where Jonathan Wild challenged, reached him close
to the chair, and won a race, equal in severity to that for the
Orange Prize, by a neck. Red Robin a bad fourth, and
Giantess fifth. The race was very severe from end to end,
and the tailing "prodigious." Run in five minutes, ten
seconds.
It is supposed that the amount lost on the race exceeds
40,000/.

- -s - THE GUY'S CLUB OARS MATCH.
. The gentlemen * the Guy's Club on Tuesday contended in
a pair-oared race for a pair of Gold Challenge Oars and PlT-
sentation Medals. It was throughout a very dashing, spi-
rited race, arranged in three heats. The very liberal donor
of the prizes, T. Evans, E,.q., officiated as umpire.
First Heat.
Messrs. Brinchley and Squire ..(Green) 1
Gruggen and Thompson (White) 2
Ilewitt and Sandent
The distance was from Putney to HammerSaiith. They
effected a good start, white taking the lead up to Messrs.
Searle's, when green drew well a head of red, and went up to
the leading pair, and paS,;ed them. Won easily.

Forster and Edwards
It was a splendid heat. Blue led, closely followed by yel-
low. Throughout., the race they were ever and anon scull
and scull, and alternately had a slight advantage. Both put
on a desperate spurt 'as they neared the goal, and finished in
a dead heat.

- Grand Heat.
Yellow
Blue took the lead, followed by yellow, scull and scull to
the Crab Tree. The others here made play, and they all
became about level; green and yellow then made the racing,
and continued Mon," with each oiher._Won by half a length.

office of Commander of the Forces. At the general election
in 1826 he was again returned for his native county. It was
at this advanced period of his life that he ceased to be a
bachelor. In the 54th year of his age he espoused the Lady
Louisa Erskine, sister of the Marquis of Anglesey; and widow
of Sir James Erskine, • who died in the year 1825.
Lady Louisa had then attained the mature age of forty-
eight. Sir George became a widower. on the 23d of
January, 1842, having had issue one daughter. In
18:28 he gave up the command of the army in Ire-
land to take the dlice of Secretary of State for the Colonies
—an office far beyond the Parliamentary reputation which,
up to that tinia at least, he had acquired ; but thenceforward
he rose rapidly in the estimation of the floosie of Commons;
and it is no exaggeration to assert that very few military

men ever approached to the excellence which h attained as
a public speaker. He possessed the power of logical arrange-
ment in a remarkable degree, and though his speeches did
not "smell of the lamp," they always had a beginning,
middle, and conclusion ; besides that they possessed a co-
herence and congruity rarely found in Parliamentary
speeches, a force and appropriateness of diction not often sur-
passed, an elegance and copiousness which a soldier could
not be expected to attain, and an agreeable style of delivery
which many more professed speakers might imitate with
advantage. While Sir George Murray was at the Colonial -
office our possessions abroad were not seriously embarrassed
by any of those difficulties which usually afflict the Minister
who happens to preside at the Colonial department; but the
Government of that day had delicate duties to perform, and
were surrounded with various and formidable difficulties. In
uniting with his colleagues to meet and overcome these
difficulties, Sir George Murray bore his part most
efficiently. In supporting the Roman Catholic Relief Bill,
and in opposing the measures of the liberal Government in
1830 and 1831, lie was singularly successful, though he did
not go the length of echoing the dictum of the Duke of Wel-
lington, when that eminent personage said that no reform
whatever was required in the House of Commons. But, it
was not alone in Parliament, or in the "registration courts,"
that Sir George Murray fought what he conceived to be the
"battle of the Constitution." He fought it as vigorously
on the hustings and in the polling-booths. lie was re-
elected for his native county at the general election of 183 a,
and again in the following year. In 1832 the Refie-m Bill
became law, Parliament was dissolved, Lord. Orrnelie, now
Marquis of Breadalbane, stood for Perthshire upon liberal
principles and proved successful. On the accession of Lord
Ormelie to the peerage in 1834. a vacancy again occurred in
the representation of Perthshire, and a contest ensued, in
which Mr. Graham, the Whig candidate, was defeated, and
Sir G. Murray again sat for that county. In Sir R. Peel's
Administration of 1834-5, he filled the office of Master-
General of the Ordnance; but was thrown out of the repre-
sentation of Perthshire by Mr. Fox Maule, who defeated
him by a majority of 82. At the general election which oc-
curred in 1337, on the accession of her present Majesty to
the throne, Sir George Murray stood for Westminster, a
City with which he certainly had very little local connexion ;
but Westminster happens to be just one of those places in
which local influence has not much weight, and its repre-
sentatives have usually been either distinguished political
chiefs, or else officers of considerable reputation, connected
with the military or naval service of the State. Fox, She-
ridan, Burdett, Hobhouse, Cochrane, Evans, Rous, Maxwell,
Rodney, and Hood, have been amongst the number of its re-
presentatives. No one was, therefore, surprised that Sir
George Murray offered himself to a constituency where
military fame and high rank are usually acceptable. On
that occasion he polled 2,620 votes, but Mr. Leader and Sir
De Lacy Evans united their strength, and defeated him.
At this period of his life he might easily have got in for a
small borough, but it was thought by the political party to
which he belonged that the representation of Westminster
ought not to be entrusted to unskilful hands ; and during
the bustle of a general erection he missed the opportu-
nity of getting in for any other place. In less than
two years from that time, however, a vacancy
occurred in the representation of Manchester. Mr.
Poulett Thomson had been Member for that borough
during three successive Parliaments, but in the year 1839 he
was appointed Governor-General of Canada, and raised to
the peerage. An election contest of course ensued, in which
Sir George Murray and Mr. Gregg were the candidates, but
the decision was in favour of Mr. Gregg by a majority of 265.
When the Whigs resigned in 1841, Sir George Murray again
received the appointment of Master-General of the Ordnance,
and again became a candidate for the representation of Man-
chester. When the leaders of the Conservative party sent
him to solicit the suffrages of that borough, they could not
fail to have felt that they were requiring him to undertake a
forlorn hope. He had few of what are called popular quali-
ties, and instead of wishing for a partisan of Sir Robert Peel,
the people of Manchester desired to possess a representative
who should prove a thorn in the side of the Tory leader.
Although he failed to get into Parliament, he still re-
mained a Minister of the Crown. But at length his
powerful constitution yielded to the attacks of disease;
for more than a year he had not been able to
quit his residence in Belgrave-square, although he
attended as much possible to the duties of
his office. About six months ago he felt himself so evi-
dently sinking that he thought it right to place the situa-
tion which he held at the disposal of the Prime Minister;
but Sir Robert Peel's tenure of office was at that time so un-
stable that lie considered the appointment of a successor to
Sir George wholly superfluous. The last occasion upon
which Sir George Murray cama prominently before the
public was in a literary capacity, namely, as editor of five
volumes of "Marlborough's Dispatches,"—a work which
tended much to raise our estimate of that celebrated
comniander's character without materially adding to the re-
putation...of. Sir George Murray. It is not, however, as a
literary man that the name of Sir George Murray will de-
scend to posterity. As a succesful soldier, an able Minister,
a skilful and fluent debater, he will long be remembered.
The spirit of party, which might once have sought to obscure
the brightness of his fame, has long since ceased to influence
men's minds, and even the errors of his life will be forgotten
amidst the general lustre which surrounds his memory.—

THE COBDEN FREE TRADE

DOCKS.

The supporters of the free-trade cause are determined
not only to bestow upon their champion, Richard
Cobden, the personal munificent tribute now being sub-
scribed for throughout the country, as a public token of
approbation for his laborious exertions in behalf of free-
trade, but also to hand down to posterity some national
record of utility connected with the cause itself, that
will perpetuate this great commercial advantage, and
open a legitimate channel for the investment of capital.
An Act of Parliament has recently passed for the for-
mation of docks at the mouth of the Thames, adjacent to
Carwey Island, and about thirty-six miles from London,
to consist of 200 acres; and it is the intention of the pro-
moters of the Cobden Free-trade:Docks—composed prin-
cipally of ship-owners, merchants, bankers, coal-owners,
and other eminent capitalists of London, Liverpool,
Manchester, Birmingham, and the northern districts—to
make such arrangements as will empower them under
that Act of Parliament to construct docks forthwith,
to be called " The Cobden Free-trade Docks,"
that will afford accommodation to vessels of all
nations, with separate docks for the British and foreign
steam-boats, and the collier ships from tale north. These
docks will be accessible at all times or tide, from the
great depth of water at that spot. There will be also an '
extensive steam boat pier and landing wharf, for the
accommodation of passengers embarking for the con-
tinent and the watering places on the Kentish coast ;
which, by this route, will effect a great saving in time,
distance, and expense. A short branch railway will be
made from the docks to join the Eastern Counties line
at Romford, and unite with the Blackwall Extension
line at Stratford, thereby affording a two-fold terminus
in the very heart of London (the Blackwell terminus
being contiguous to the corn, coal, and fish markets), so
that in one hour, passengers will be on the sea journey
for the continent; and the steam-boats to .idargate,
Ramsgate, Herne-bay, Sheerness, and Southend, will be
able to make a double voyage by day-light. Thais
route will also be the nearest for the landing of
the Indian mail by forty-six miles in distance, and
a saving of two hours in time, via Ostend.
The great increase of the shipping trade requires that
additional dock room should be immediately afforded,
and the further increase of vessels laden with free-trade
produce will tend more and more to add to the present
requirement; and at this very juncta, when every free
trader is rejoicing at the victory gained, and the pro-
spect before him of the benefits to be derived from that
event, what can be so consistent a national memento to
record the victory, or so legitimate a national invest-
ment of capital, as the Cobden Free-trade Docks?—the
commencement of which is proposed to take place next
month.

STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, JULY 28.—The recent in-
telligence from the United States, communicating the
fact of the passage of the Tariff Bill by the House of
Representatives, and the probability that that important
measure will also pass the Senate ; caused some im-
provement in the demand for printing cloth to-day, and
produced a generally improved feeling in the goods
market, but without causing any advance in prices. For
yarn, the demand continues very languid, and rather
lower rates have been accepted for some numbers of
mule twist suitable for the Eastern markets. Prices,
generally, are now so unremunerative that some of the
spinners, particularly those in the neighbourhood of
Blackburn, have begun to consider the propriety of
working short time.
ROCHDALE MONDAY, JULY 27.—We have had ayery

limited demand for piece' s to-day, and a thin attendance
of buyers, considering it has been the fortnightly Mon-
day. The wool market has been inactive, and the dealers
complain of the little bnsiness transacted.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, JULY 28.—There have
been a good many buyers to-day, both for home and
foreign markets • and large purchases have been made
in the Cloth Hall, of every description of fancy woollens.
Greater activity has also been felt in the warehouses
during the past week.
LEEDS, TUESDAY, JULY 28.—There was a very fair
attendance of buyers at our cloth halls to-day, but, from
want of the articles mostly in demand, the transactions
were necessarily limited. Our manufacturers, are, how-
ever, pretty well employed in executing orders, and,
upon the whole, trade is in a sounder state than at this
time last year. Fortunately, none of our merchants are
interested in any of the failures which cast such a gloom
over the Manchester markets last week.—Manchester
Guardian.

CRITICISM EXTRAORDINARY.—The following veritably
appears in the Athenccum of Saturday last—it ought to be
premised, though the remark is unnecessary to play-goers,
that Perrot is a dancer, and certainly never exerted his
" loveliest voice" on any stage, nor indulged in " high falsetto
notes," or false steps :—" I Puritani, which was given for
M. Perrot's benefit on Thursday evening, enabled this
rapidly rising artist still further to show the progress he has
recently made. He sung the last act in his loveliest voice,
and with admirable expression, but he is too fond of at-
tempting a fac-shnile ofßubini's high falsetto notes--in
this, needlessly subjecting himself to the charge of imitation."

DUNDALK ELECTION.

DUBLIN, JULY 27.—Mr. D. O'Connell, jun., accompanied
by Mr. Steele and other members of the Repeal Association,
returned to town last night. The constituency of Dundalk is
limited to 250 electors, and of these, it is stated, not less than
170 are pledged to support Mr. O'ConnelL The following
letter reached here this morning:—
" DUNDALK, SUNDAY.—The writ has been received. The
election will take place early next week. Mr. D. O'Connell,
jun., according to all appearances, will he returned without
opposition. There was a crowded meeting of Repealers this
day, at which Mr. D. O'Connell, jun., Captain Broderick,
and Mr. Steele attended. Mr. Steele, in the course of his
speech, highly eulogised Mr. Redington, the late Member,
and his name, was loudly cheered. Mr. Steele described bias
as having only ure fault—that he was not a Repealer; but
as a high-spirited and highly-gifted gentleman--a perfect
man of business, and a member of -the Devon Commission,
whose report was a thunderbolt in the hands of O'Connell,
without which he could not have so effectually resisted the
atrocious Coercion Bill.

"Having completed their arrangements for the election,
Mr. D. O'Connell, jun., and his friends, returned to Dublin."
COUNTY OF KILKENNY ELECTION.—The election for this
county takes place on Wednesday next. Mr. Smithwick
(Repealer) is still the only candidate, and there does not ap-
pear the slightest chance of opposition to his return.
THE MASTERSHIP IN CHANCERY.—This office is not yet
filled, but it is confidently asserted that Mr. Jeremiah J.
Murphy, Q. C., is to be the new Master.
THE POTATO DISEASE.—Again the reports from the coun-
try, with very few exceptions, are exceedingly disheartening.
COURT-MARTIAL ON MAJOR DEANE, IsT ROYALS.
A general court-martial assembled at the Royal Barracks,
Dublin, on,Monday, for trial of Major Charles Deane, K.H.,
of the Ist, or Royal Regiment.
The charges against Major Deane, eighteen in number, set
forth that he exacted from the men of the depot a higher
price for necessaries than is allowed by the regimental regu-
lations; for having charged 3 per cent. additional on the
issue of necessaries supplied to the soldiers ; that he did not
assemble aboard of officers in accordance with the military
regulations; to flx a price on the issue of necessaries ; and
also for abuse and harsh treatment of Sergeant Francis Nolan.
The several charges having been delivered in and read,
witnesses in support thereof were called for examination.
Mr. John APCourt, the prosecutor, Lieutenant Poole
(Royals). Colonel R. C. Manse], and some non-commis-
sioned officers of the Royals, gave evidence in reference to
the charges. Therase for the prosecution closed on Wed-
nesday.
At the request of the prisoner the Court was adjourned
till Friday, to allow him time to prepare for his defence.
On Friday, at the assembling of the Court, Major
Deane read his defence. He said his situation had
been greatly aggravated by the character of his
accuser, who had been convicted and sentenced to be
dismissed the service for disgraceful conduct. On that occa-
sion their positions were reversed, with the exception that he
(the prisoner) had not appeared there as a voluntary prose-
cutor, nor had he any personal interest in the charges, hav-
ing been officially ordered to conduct the prosecution. Major
Deane then proceeded in his address to analyse the several
charges seriatim, and handed in most flattering testimonials
from Lieutenant-General Newberry, Colonel Wetherell,
Deputy Adjutant-General, Canada; Mikjor- General Sir
Richard Armstrong, Commanding Canada West ; Lieutenant-
General Sir Willoughby Cotton, Lieutenant-Colesel Bell,
and Major Bennett, and having thanked the court for the
unwearied attention which they had devoted to the investi-
gation, left his case to their decision, and proceeded to call
his witnesses. .
_

Several witnesses were examined, whose testimony went
to disprove the charge against the gallant major. Lord
Downes, one of the witnesses, bore the highest testimony to
the character of Major Deane, as an officer and a gentleman.
Colonel Mansell bore similar testimony.
The case for the defence having closed here, the room
was cleared, in order to allow the court to remain in delibe-
ration. The result will not be made known officially for
some weeks.

The Lord Chancellor has appointed Mr. Louis Perrin, bar-
rister-at-law, second son of the Right. Hon. Mr. Justice
Perrin, to be his lordship's purse- bearer.
The Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland have been
authorised by their Excellencies the Lords Justices to com-
ence immediately some public works on the north shores of
Lough Mask, county Mayo.
The city of Kilkenny grand jury has adopted an address
of congratulation to the Earl of Besborough, on his appoint-
ment to the viceroyalty of this kingdom. A requisition is in
course of signature for convening the county to adopt a
similar course.— Waterford Freeman.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The weekly meeting of the association held this day was
most numerously attended. Long before the hour appointed
for the commencement of business Conciliation Hail was
completely crowded. Amongst the more prominent leaders
of the movement present were, Smith O'Brien, M.P., Henry
Grattan, John O'Connell, M.P., the Lord Mayor,
Alderman Butler, N. Maher, M.P., D. O'Connell, jun., and
a large number of the " Young Ireland" party, the more
prominent members of which were loudly cheered on enter-
ing the meeting.
On the motion of Satan O'Bramr, Esq. M.P., the chair
was taken by the Lord Mayor.

The SECRETARY, having read the minutes of the last day's
proceedings, announced the receipt of the following letter
from Mr. O'Connell, which he submitted to the meeting
" London, July 24, 1846.
" My dear Ray,—lNife-liftieh-to write, but 'little time to
write in. The truth my spirit is sad and my heart is
heavy at the miserable dissensions introduced into the
association at a period precisely when unanimity was most
necessary and most likely to be useful.
"The advocacy of physical- force doctrines renders it im-
possible for those who stand upon the constitution of the as-
sociation itself to co-operate with those who will not adhere
to that constitution.
"This is a subject that does not admit of any species of
compromise. The basis of the association is declared peaceable
exertions alone. The same principle has been repeatedly and
repeatedly reiterated, and has been latterly re-asserted and
confirmed distinctly and emphatically by the association.
" Here we take our stand—peaceable exertions and no other
—no compromise, no equivocation—peaceable exertions, and
none others.
" Let it, however, be borne in mind that these peaceable
doctrines leave untouchekthe right of defence against illegal
attack or unconstitutional violence.

" These peaceable doctrines, however, involve every other
case, except resistance to, and defence against unconstitu-
tional violence.

" It is unhappily become the more essential to assert our
principles as the association is sought to be involved in pro-
ceedings of a most seditious nature, stated in the Nation news-
paper to have been perpetrated in and by the writers for that
publication. It would appear that the traversers in the late
indictment are by those writers involved in similar guilt with
their own. It must, however, be recollected that while they
accuse all, they convict only one, namely, the proprietor of
the paper. His accusation, as far as ,himself is concerned, is
conclusive of guilt; but as to the other traversers, I for one,
and I am sure they will all agree with me, proclaim the ac-
cusation to be totally false, and we indignantly and con-
temptuously reject the assertions of our maligner.
" I will not, however, allow the matter to rest here. As
soon as I return to Dublin I will give a regular notice of re-
ferring the subject to the committee, and to report thereon to
the association. It is not possible to submit to the charges

against
solemn
us—c"
I mean also to publish an address to the people of Ireland
affidavits
on the conduct of the physical force advocates, who con-
tinue, in spite of our solemn resolutions, members of our
body. I will be able to point out in detail the infinite mis
chief which the physical force advocates inflict on the body
of the repealers of Ireland.
" To leave this melancholy topic, I am glad to be able to
say that, without positively knowing the fact, the repeal
question will be left so far an open question as not to exclude
repealers from such promotion in the various professions as
their intrinsic merits ought to command. How often have
we desired to have the repeal an open question, and every
honest and well-thinking man will feel grateful to those who
make it so.

"There is another fact, of a pleasing nature—if the rumour
respecting it be accurate—l myself believe it to be accurate,
though, of course, I cannot state it positively. It is this—
that the Lord Chancellor Brady has determined to reinstate
the repeal magistrates. That will be giving the people the
protection of from sixty to seventy gentlemen, who, as
magistrates, enjoy the public confidence. This is another
title to gratitude.
" There are various measures in progress for Ireland ;
among the rest, a Tenant Compensation Act, which I have
reason to believe is calculated in a great degree to be satis-
factory to the Irish tenantry ; but there are many obstacles
and claii,:ulties in the way of working out those useful mea •
sures. Having, after all, fully strengthened the conviction
that it is an Irish Parliament alone that can workout the pros-
perity of the Irish people—it is an Irish Parliament alone
that can have sufficient knowledge and sufficient persevering
inclination to insure the prosperity and freedom of old Ire-
land. No country under Heaven requires so vitally the pro-
tection of a domestic Parliament as Ireland does ; and with-
out refusing gratitude for kindnesses intended, I reiterate my
decided conviction that we should not relax for one hour our
exertions for the repeal.
" Hurrah, then, for the Repeal.
" Believe me to be very truly yours,

meeting permitted him, lay before them the reason why he
differed with Mr. O'Connell. It had been said that in the

He

referred, but this he would aver, that nothing would have
been further from his intention than to disparage Mr.
O'Connell or any member of his family.—(Hear, hear.) If
he recollected rightly, what he said on the occasion referred
to was, that he possessed the confidence of Mr. O'Connell,
of the Roman Catholic clergy, and of that party known as
"Young Ireland." If there had been anything offen-
sive in that expression, he would willingly retract it ;
or, perhaps, he was guilty of arrogance in the •boast
he had made •, if so, he was pertectly ready to pay
the penalty which the man who is guilty of boasting
must inevitably pay, that of retracting his boast. On the
last day of meeting, a certain gentleman (Mr. Reilly) had
also taken some exception to what he said at Kilrush. He
(Mr. O'Brien) was there to answer any question that might
be put to him touching that speech ; but this he would say,
that he came to Conciliation Hall not for the purpose of
quarrelling with any man, but to endeavour, as far as in his
power lay, to promote the repeal of the union.—(Cheers.)
He was ready to justify his opinions on any stage, but he
denied that any man, or any body of men, had any right to
call in question his conduct, except his constituents on the
hustings.—( Hear, and cheers.) After some further allusion
to his speech at Kilrush, he observed that he did not concur
in all the opinions put forward by the individual whom
they (the people) looked upon as their leader. And if those
opinions were to be the sine qna non of the agitation, he
would merely say that in his opinion they were unjust and
impolitic, and, if persevered in, he would be under the neces-
