of the House, which he always had at hand, to trample
on the standing orders--(Hisses)—in the same manner
as everything in favour of Ireland is trampled
on
(Groans and hisses) —and what had he done then ? •It
was the habit of the English Parliament to give the
Easter season a vacation from the Good Friday to the
Monday week after Easter-day. Well, he (Sir-Ro-
bert Peel) had decided on shortening that period by
three days. He had trampled on the old practice,
and forced them to go back at the end of a week,
instead of eleven days, which was the usual period.
—(Renewed hisses.) Let them mark well what the
Prime Minister was doing for England ; he would, how-
ever, do Mai credit for anything he did which deserved
it : he thought he had acted nobly as regarded the
Corn Bill.—(Hear, hear.) He had then a majority of
90 in the House, and as long as he chose to be an
enemy to Ireland he was safe in acting as such. If
he chose to have continued in the minority at that
crisis, he could have done so. Ho (Mr. O'Connell)
was not his friend, and they had him ranged amongst
his political foes. He had behaved nobly in that and
in other respects—(Hear, hear)—but he would divide
with him on every question, and he would still tell
him that he felt a heart-felt gratitude towards him for
what he had done in behalf of the people of Ireland.—
(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Peel was doing what would
give food and employment for England; but what was
he doing for Ireland? He was giving her a,Coereloaß,
Bill—(Hear)--in fact, the two Bills for the two coun-
tries were struggling against one another, and clash-
ing; inasmuch as he had fixed a day for the Corn Bill,
which interrupted the progress of the Irish measure
until the month of June, when, with the blessing of
God, it would be successfully opposed.—(" Hear," and
cheers.) If they had an Irish Parliament, would any
other people be comparable with the Irish?—would a
Coercion Bill be necessary?—would a Coercion Bill be
passed when people were starving? Certainly not.
(Hear, hear.) The measure of the Minister reminded
him (Mr. O'Connell) of a story of a friend of his, who
had two sons, one of whom he loved, and the other of
whom, the best of the two, he cared little about.—(Hear,
hear.) This lad, to revenge himself, used to sing a song,
and the chorus ran thus :
" White bread for Kit,
Brown bread for Mat."

(Cheers and laughter)—which put him very much in
mind of Sir Robert Peel, who wanted to starve and im-
prison the Irish at the expense of the English.—(Hear,
hear.) However, he would take care that the Irish
should also get a white loaf —(" Hear, hear," and
cheers.) He (Mr. O'Connell) wished to appeal to the
Irish people on another subject—the subject of assassi-
nation, and particularly to the case of Mr. Carrick, of
the county Clare.—(Hear, hear.) He had lately alluded
to this horrible murder in the House of Commons, and
referred to some particulars he had heard concerning it,
which had drawn forth a letter from Mr. Creagh, of
Great Charles-street, in contradiction of some of his
assertions. Now he wished to state that he put forward
no fault against Mr. Carrick, upon his own authority,
but merely read a statement from a Clare newspaper,
and he had nothing to say for its accuracy ; in fact, he
said nothing from his own knowledge, and he never there
or elsewhere attempted to paliate the awful crime of
murder under any circumstance; although, if he thought
proper, he could refer to at least twenty letters which
fully bore it out.—(Loud cheers.) He had also been
attacked by Mr. Ryan—" his faithful friend "—but he
would say nothing about him.—(" Hear," and laughter.)
No landlord crime could palliate assassination ; and if
he had any influence with the people of Ireland—and he
believed he had—he would appeal to every miscreant
murderer in the country (and he was sure there were but
few such characters) to abstain from crime.—(Hear.)
He would warn every honest man in the country against
illegal societies and secret oaths, for no one should
belong to a secret assembly—as nothing secret was
ever good—and secrecy was always a forerunner of
crime.—(Loud cheers.) Before the emancipation,
he (Mr. O'Connell) preached against those bodies,
and said they were the only obstacles to his obtain-
ing justice for Roman Catholics ; and he then believed
the Ribbon Society, and other such societies, were
the chief obstacles in the way of repeal.—(Hear, hear.)
The Learned Gentleman concluded by again calling
on the people of Ireland to be peaceable, assuring
them that the Coercion Bill before Parliament would
never pass, and that he hoped and believed he would
live to see the Parliament yet sitting in College-green.
Messrs. Maher, John O'Connell, Grattan O'Brien,
havinc, addressed the meeting, at five o'clock, the
rent for the' week was announced to be 2001., and the
assembly adjourned to next Monday, a vote of thanks

THE PROGRESS OF STEAM

NAVIGATION,

The following is an extract from a ncently-issued
and massive Blue-Book (of some 1,500 pages!) on the
Commercial Tariffs and Regulations, &c., of the United
States of America, compiled and arranged by Mr. J. Mac-
gregor:—

When we reflect upon the wonderfully increased inter-
course between the United Kingdom and the United
States—and when we estimate the comparatively speak-
ing limitation of the distance, by calculating the time
required now with that occupied formerly, in passing to
and fro between both countries—it would be rash and
hazardous to give an absolute opinion on the future
elements, rapidity and extension of navigable power. It
was but late in the world's history, when a Dutch ship
performed the voyage, by leaving Rotterdam or Am-
sterdam in the spring of one year, sailing only during
the day, and furling her sails and laying-to during the
night; and on reaching New York, then called New
Amsterdam, this ship was discharged, unrigged, and laid
up for the winter. On the following spring, this ship
was rigged, her condition examined and repaired, then
laden with wood, fish, or furs, and then made her home-
ward voyage during the summer, as slowly as her out-
ward voyage was performed the preceding year.
The voyage was afterwards performed out and home
the same year. English ships then made two voyages
during the year; and, growing bolder, three voyages to
and from America were made annually by the same
ship. Those splendid vessels, the Liverpool and New
York line of sailing-packets, were then established, and
the intercourse between Europe and America astonished
the world. Steam ships were now seemingly about sup-
planting theie sailing-ships, at least in the carriage of
passengers.

The space between the old and new world ceases to be
calculated by miles and leagues; days and hours measure
the distance. Liverpool and Halifax are brought within
ten days, and Liverpool and Boston within twelve days
of each other.

It is by means of this powerful agency—of this rapid,
mighty, and certain intercourse, that all possible good
may be extended from, or all possible evil inflicted by,
one country to, or upon, the other. The era of the suc-
cessful establishment of steam navigation has been the
roost important to trade, intercourse, and, consequently,
of extending knowledge and civilisation, that has occurred
since the discovery of America, and, since the first
voyage was accomplished by sea from Europe to India.
Knowledge and civilisation have advanced or retro
graded, according to the extent to which the intercourse
between individuals and nations has been rendered either
easy, quick, and frequent— or difficult. tardy, and of rare
occurrence. That means, which shall bring nations,
and kindred, and people into the nearest social inter-
course, will be the sure and irresistible power destined to
civilise the universe; by the facility with which intelli-
gence, and consequently instruction, will be conveyed,
by sea and by land, over every part of the world, and by
the rapidity and ease with which individuals of one na-
tion may be made acqulinted with those of all others.
Steam-vessels now ply along the coasts of Africa, in
the Chinese seas, and along the shores and rivers of
New Holland.

The steam-ships now employed between London and
Scotland are of enormous power and magnitude. So are
those which run between the Mersey and Clyde, and be-
tween the two lager rivers and the several ports of Ire-
land,

The fleet of the General Steam Navigation Company
maintains a constant intercourse with the ports of France,
Holland, and Germany, as well as in the coasting trade
of the British channel.

The states of continental Europe are also advancing in
the acquisition of steam power. France, Austria, and
Russia are the foremost in the number of their steam-
ships. Austria excels all the states of the continent in
merchant steam-ships. France and Russia in steam•
ships of war. The Italian states, especially Naples and
Tuscany, possess several well-built and well-navigated
steam-ships. Prussia and Holland, on the Rhine, con-
tribute greatly to the facility of intercourse. Belgium
has made attempts, at great expensr., to establish a trans-
atlantic line of steam-packets. The attempt has fail( d.
The Hanse Towns, Denmark, and Sweden, also possess
steam-ships, but only on a comparatively small scale.
Greece and Turkey are far behind other countries in the
possession of steam-vessels. The Greeks were their
country and commerce in a flourishing condition, would,
no doubt, manage steam ships as ably as they certainly
have their sailing vessels. The Turks have been clumsy
mariners, and their few steam-vessels are wretchedly
managed. Of all Orientalists, the ruler of Egypt has
made an extraordinary advance in the acquisition of
powerful steam-ships.
In 1814, there was but one steam-boat belonging to
the British empire. During thirty years the number
has increased to about 1,000 British steam-boats, which
are now navigating all parts of the world.
In 1846, the British Government employs a magnifi-
cent fleet of steam-ships, managed by, and belonging
to, a private association, which sail, semi-monthly for
eight, and monthly for four, months in the year, be-
tween Liverpool, Halifax, and Boston. From Boston, the
great means of intercourse, by steam-boats and rail-
roads, diverges to all parts of North America—extend-
ing to the furthermost of the great lakes, and up and
down the navigable rivers, flowing from the Rocky
Mountains. Iron is made to swim, in the form of a
ship (the Great Britain) exceeding 3,600 tons burden,
impelled forward from Liverpool to New York, against
the currents, raging storms, and seas of the Atlantic, by
an invisible power, moved by the resistless force of fire
causing the expansion of water.
Another splendid fleet of steam-ships, belonging ulso
to a private company, are employed by the Govern-
ment to maintain a monthly intercourse between the
United Kingdom, by Southampton, and all the islands
of the West Indies and the states of Mexico and South
America.

A third and mighty fleet, belong to a great company,
and employed by the Government, sails monthly from
Southampton to the European Peninsula, and by way of
Gibraltar to Malta and Alexandria, with a branch to
the Levant and Constantinople. The same company
conveys the Government mails and passengers by three
of the most powerful steam-ships in the world, from
Suez, down the Red Sea to Ceylon, Madras, and Cal-
cutta ; and that company has contracted to extend the
established chain between Southampton and India to
Singapore and the Chinese empire, by the employment
of several powerful steam-ships, nearly all constructed.
This steam line between England and China is now
complete, by which we have received an English news-
paper, printed at Hong-Kong, only fifty-six days before
our having read it in London.
A British company has for some years established a
line of steamers along the southern shores of South
America ; and the Hudson Bay Company have a steam-
ship on the western coast of North America. The East
India Company employs one steam-ship in conveying
mails between Suez and Bombay ; and several steam-
vessels are employed in India, and others in the Eastern
or Chinese seas, by the British Government, as vessels
of war.

France has projected four great lines of transatlantic
steam ships —when they will, or whether they will, be
established, we have neither the power nor the temerity
to decide. We cannot discover any obstacle in regard
to France and America, to prevent French transatlantic
ships competing with those of England; but, according
to our mere instinctive judgment,
linewo inclinedaro. to

ducted direct between ports of the United Kingdom, and
ducted either by British subjects or by American citi-
zens, or, as is most likely, by both, jointly or separately.
The progress and great extension of steam navigation
along the coasts and rivers of the United States, and of
the river St. Lawrence, and the great lakes of North
America, we have described under a previous head.
The sailing ships belonging to the United States,
which sail regularly from New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia, and several other ports, to the ports of the United
Kingdom, to Havre, Bordeaux, to ports in the Mediter-
ranean—and to the ports of Holland and the north of
Europe, are equipped in a style of extraordinary per-
fection and beauty, and navigated with the utmost nau-
tical skill. Those which sail between New York and
Liverpool, and New York and London, are truly magni-
ficent, and their accommodations, though gorgeous, com-
bine for passengers all the luxuries and comforts of
splendid hotels.

- The following appeared as the programme of the pro
jetted line of French steam-ships:—
First great line—From Havre to New York. Four
steam-ships are to be placed on this line; the departures
are to take place once a fortnight. Fifteen days are
allowed for each passage, and ten days at New York—
in all, forty days. Twenty days are to be allowed to

• CENTENARY:3F THE BATTLE OF
CULLODEN.
One hundred years ago the hopes of the Stuarts for
restoration to the throne of their ancestors were finally
closed. After a short, but brilliant campaign, Prince
Charles and his gallant followers were slain or scat-
tered on the 16th of April, 1746, never again to re-
' assemble in arms for bringing " the auld Stuarts back
again," but if that could have been accomplished by the
most unbounded heroism and fearless enterprise, the
devoted army which so enthusiastically followed their
Prince had achieved the object. The destiny of this
unfortunate house was otherwise. When the High-
landers had advanced as far as Derby, London- was
thrown into the greatest consternation. Those of Jaco-
bitical principles, of course, were joyous, as far as pru•
dente would permit the acknowledgment; but a run was
made upon the Bank which was obliged to issue notes of
trifling value to assist the circulation of coin among
the military, as encouragement for whom, large sums
were subscribed and abundance of clothes provided.

nothing but defeat before them, hence the humerous
picture by Hogarth of the march to Fincbley.
After defeating the army under Hawley, at Falkirk, on
retreat to the north, the Prince, after the failure of an
attempt to surprise the Duke of Cumberland by night,
drew up in battle array on the moor of Culloden, near
Inverness, where the royal army confronted him next
morning, The engagement speedily commenced, and
the Highlanders rushing forward sword in hand, broke
through the left wing of the front line and captured two
cannon, but they were immediately met with a fire from
the second line in front and flank, by NN hit& they were
so cut up that they were compelled to retire. The panic

On the 16th of April, 1746, exactly a century since
this day, was fought the decisive battle of Culloden,
which sealed the fate of the Stuart dynasty. Culloden
Moor, which is situated near Inverness, has long been
an object of attraction to travellers, but no trustworthy,
map has hitherto been published, showing the face of

oafstliiet
yeller, traversing the ground, to follow accurately the
manoeuvres of the two armies. This great want has
been recently admirably supplied by Mr. Gowie, who
has published a map of Culloden Moor, drawn on a
large scale, on which are laid down the different lines of
loutes leading to the field of battle, and the po-
sitions and lines of march of the respective
armies on the eventful 16th of April, 1746. The map
also exhibits the sites of the ancient tumuli, Druidical
stone circles, vitrified forts, and other objects of interest
to be found on the moor ; and is, moreover, enriched
by an enlarged plan of the order of battle, accompanied
by copious explanatory notes. As a work of art the
map is beautifully executed, and as a topographical
illustration of one of the most interesting portions of the
kingdom, it is one of the most complete things that has
ever been effired to the public.

MR. RAY'S 1400 K ON THE "EDU-
CATION 01? THE POOR."
The Master of Trinity has addressed the following
letter to the Vice-Chancellor:—
" Trinity Lodge, April 4, 1846.
" Mr. Vice-Chancellor—I have just received a volume,
entitled On the Ldueauon of the Poor in England and
in Europe,' by Joseph Kay, of this college, whom I, on
his solicitation, recommended as Travelling Bachelor ;
preceded by an address to the Senate of the University
of Cambridge, in which Mr. Kay states that when I
recommended him to their notice as a candidate for that
office, I informed him that they would expect him to
publish a report of the results of his inquiries on the
state of primary education in Europe.
" I hasten to say to you that Air. Kay has completely
astonished me by this statement. I never had any in-
tention of conveying to him such an impression as he
describes. I did not know that he had it in contempla•
Lion to publish on this subject; though he informed me
that he intended to make Primary Education,' the
main subject of his attention in his travels.
" Nor do I recollect to have used, or think it possible
that I used -language which could convey to Mr. Kay
this impression. I told him, indeed, that, as Travelling
Bachelor, he would have to send a Latin letter every
year to the Senate ; giving some account of the results
of his travels. One such letter he has sent, as you, sir,
know. You have expressed your opinion respecting the
unsatisfactory mode in which Mr. Kay has discharged
that part of his duty; and this expression of your opinion
I have already conveyed to him.
" I have not read more than a few sentences of the
book ; but from what I have seen I am compelled to say
that it appears to me to contain expressions of Mr. Kay's
opinions altogether unsuited to his position and attain-
ments ; and connected by him 'nest improperly with his
relation to the university. And this impropriety is not
less, but greater, in consequence of the great importance
of the questions on which Mr. Kay delivers his opinions.
If I could have imagined that such a use would be made
of the appointment, I should have carefully abstained
from forwarding Mr. Kay's desigcs.
" If you, sir, think it proper, for the satisfaction of
the Senate, that this explanation on my part should be
communicated to them, I shall be ready to direct myself
by your suggestions.
" Believe me, Mr. Vice-Chancellor, your very faithful
and obedient servant,

" W. WHEWELL."

STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER, APRIL 14.—We are glad to state that
the slight appearances of improvement which presented
themselves towards the conclusion of last week have
now become more distinct and decided. At this day's
market there has been a very good demand for yarn ;
and an advance of id. to id per lb. has been obtained on
some counts and descriptions suitable for the German
market. For goods, also, there has been a much better
inquiry than for some time past ; and an advance of
d. per piece on good shirtings has been generally de-
manded, and in some instances acceded to by purchasers.
The inferior qualities of shirtings and all descriptions
of printing cloth are in better demand, though without
improvement in price. On the whole, the feeling in the
market has been more cheerful and elastic than for
several weeks previously.
ROCHDALE, APRIL 13.—We have had rather more
doing in the flannel market to-day, merchants having
bought more freely ; but there is no improvement in
prices. Wool has rather a tendency upward • and if
there should be an increased demand for goods, it is
expected that the raw material will advance in price.
LEEDS, APRIL 14.—We have little to say about our
to-day's markets, which were rather better attended
than last week, but, on the whole, flat and spiritless.
Nor Nor can we expect any improvement of moe"ttileultil-

MURDER IN GLASGOW.--1---t is our painful duty to-day
to record an atrocious case of murder, which was perpetrated
in the Bridgegate on Saturday night, between eleven and
twelve o'clock. The victim was an elderly man, named
David Love, a weaver, residing in Tureen-street, Calton, and
the circumstances under which he was murdered, were as
follow :—Shortly after eleven o'clock it appears Love and
another individual, whose name we have not learned, went
into an eating-house, Pigs' Feet Tavern, in the Goosedubbs,
kept by a person named Daly, and called for a small quan-
tity of victuals. Previous to their being consumed, how-
ever, the reckoning, amounting to 6d. was demanded, and it
turned out that neither Love nor his companion, owing
.to
some misunderstanding, had any money. This gave rise
to some altercation between them and the people of the
house ; but so far as we have ascertained, it consisted
principally of abusive language on the part of Mrs. Daly
and her servant, a girl named Cassidy, on account of
their having been put to the trouble of setting down
food to individuals who had nothing to pay far it. Ulti-
mately the watchman being sent for, or hearing the noise,
went into Daly's ; but after this there was no disturbance, as
Love and his companion went away peaceably, seemin*ly
satisfied to escape from the disagreeable position in which
they were placed. They had only proceeded a short distance
along the Bridgegate, when Love was knocked down from
behind by a blow on the back of the head. This blow there
is no doubt was inflicted by Daly, he having been seen to do
it by several persons who were close by at the time ; and the
result was that Love literally died on the spot. The
iunfor-
tunate man was lifted and carried into the shop of Dr. C I)
