REPRESENTATION OF CLONMEL,

CONFIDENCE IN MR. O'CONNELL.

...f.rtszi.'—ix'lngd—AVVlllrdelitiai meeting ot
the repeal constituency of this borough was held yesterday,
for the purpose of considering the steps to be adopted in con-
sequence of the election of Mr. D. O'Connell, Jun.,' as the
representative of Dundalk. The meeting was presided over
by Mr. Alderman Hackett, and a resolution was proposed
by Mr. O'Neill, and secended by Mr. Brennan, calling,
in the name of the repeal constituency of Clonmel, upon
Daniel O'Connell, the liberator and political father of
his country, "in whom we place unlimited confidence" (such
are the words of the resolution), to select one as their re-
presentative in Parliament whom he may recommend as a
true repealer. The resolution goes on to express the regret
of the electors at being deprived of the honour of being re-
presented in Parliament by the son of the Liberator, now
the Member for Dundalk. This resolution was carried
unanimously, and the anncuncement that it was so carried
was received with rounds of enthusiastic cheering.

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF DWARKANAUTH TAGORE.—We
regret to learn that the distinguished Baboo, Dwarkanauth
Tagore, is suffering from a severe attack of indisposition,
which causes the most painful alarm to hie friends. We are
given to understand that about three weeks since he experi-
encedspelh.v symptoms of indisposition,. and, at the recommenda-
ye'ssicti,larne.e
dAalll.stlaiegoa,laarnmdinhge
recommenda-
tion of his medical advisers, he went to Worthing, but not
improving in health,. he again returned to town, for the
symptoms of his disorder, which Is, we believe, an affection
of the liver, see mfested
has since been in a precarious condition. Dr. Chambers and
advantage of being neart.hlei:
Mr. Martin, of Lower Grosvenor-street, have been in con-
stant att3ndance upon him. On Friday evening those emi-
nent gentlemen pronounced Dwarkanauth Tager° to be
somewhat easier thank 3 had beent hep revious two days.
LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM
into para-
graph which we copiedour paper of Thursday evening,
and which was headed "Frightful Accident on the London
and Birmirgham Railway," we find, on inquiry, that the
accident alluded to did not occur on the railway at all. The
man alluded to in the paragraph, who arrived at Euston-
square with a broken leg, had, it appears, met with the
accident at some distance from the railway, and had been
conveyed to the Pinner station, to be brought up to
some hospital in London, in order to have the best surgical
assistance; so that no accident whatever occurred on the
railway, the man with the broken leg being a mere ordi-
nary passenger, who arrived at the terminus as safe and
sound as he was when he left the station.
DEAYR OF LIEUTENANT• COLONEL ROBERT WIN-
CHE.,,TER, K.H.—We regret to have to record the death of
another Peninsular and Waterloo veteran, Lieutenant Colo-
eel liolert Winchester, late of the 92d Highlanders, but re-
tired on full pew, which took place at his residence in Edin-
burgh, on the 23d instant. Colonel Winchester entered the
army at an early period of life, having been appointed to an
ensigucy in the 92d Regiment on the 18th of September,
1805, in which gallant corps he continued to serve with
much distinction during a period of nearly forty years. His
other commissions are dated—lieutenant, February, 1808;
captain, July, 1815 ; major, August, 1825 ; and lieutenant-
colonel, June 28, 1838. He accompanied the expedition to
Copenhagen in 1807, and that to Walcheren in 1809. He
served in the PeninNula from October, 1810, to the end of
the war, including the Lines of the Torres Vedras, action of
Arroyo de Molino, taking of Almarey, defence of Alba de
Tonnes, battle of Vittoria, affairs of Puerta do Maya, 4th
and Bth of July, 1813; battles of the Pyrenees, 25th, 30th,
and 31st of July, 1813 ; affair of Roncesvalles, battle of the
Nivelle, affair of Cambo, battle of the Nive, on the 9th and
13th of December, 1813 ; affair of Helleto, action at Garris,
affair of Ariverettee, battle of Orthes, and actions at Aire and
Tarbes. He was slightly wounded in the Pyrenees, July 25,
and severely at the sire on the 13th of December, 1813.
Colonel Winchester also served in the campaign of 1815, and
was present at Quatre Bras, where he was wounded in the
left hand, and at the memorable battle of Waterloo, when
his right arm was fractured by a musket-shot.
CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL.—On Friday the annual
distribution of prizes to the successful students in the City of
London School took place at the institution, Smith. street,
Cheapside, in the presence of a large and influential meeting.
The Lord Mayor presided, and was supported by Alderman
Sir George Carrol, Alderman Sir Chapman Marshall, Alder-
man Sir James Duke, M.P., Alderman Hughes, Alderman
Challis, Alderman Sidney, the Rev. J. C. Miller, Rector of
Birmingham, and several members of the corporation. The
Rev. Dr. Mortimer, the head master. in opening the proceed-
ings, remarked that the number of pupils at present in the
school was 573, being an increase of 85 on the number last
year. Every student who had proceeded from the school to
the University of Cambridge had been placed in the first
class. The only student who had gone to the University of
Oxford was Mr. H. S. Fagan, who had just been elected to
an open scholarship in Pembroke College, for which there
were 27 candidates. In the University of London also the
students had achieved honours. Declamations in praise of
John Carpenter, the founder of the school, were delivered in
English, Latin, German, Greek, and French, by Messrs.
Fagan, Wilkinson, Bevan, and Barry. Prizes consisting of
scholarships, gold and silver medals, and books, were awarded
to Messrs. Fagan, Barry, Edger, Scoble, Hornby, ilkinson,
Sineely, Smeaton, Bevan, Lingham, Abrahams, and Allen.
Thanks were voted to the examiners, the head master, and
the Lord Mayor, after which the meeting dispersed.
n NPORT.—We regret to
MILITARY FLOGGING AT
state that the brutal and demoralising practice of man-
flogging has been resorted to in two cases at lle onport.
One of the victims of this barbarous mode
.of punishment
was a man named Higgins, of the 55th Regiment, who had
been found guilty of selling a portion of his kit, and of
threatening to throw his boots at colour-sergeantWilliams.
The poor fellow was sentenced to 200 lashes, and one day last
week, the garrison was assembled in George's-square to wit-
ness the punishment. During its infliction, one of the soldiers
informs us that Higgins " never winked an eye,' or let a
sound escape him. But notwithstanding this, the surgeon
felt it necessary to stop the flogging when the man had re-
ceived 150 of the 200 lashes, as te soldier, he said, could not
safely take any more. During the infliction of the punish-
ment at least a dozen of the men were carried out of the
square, they being unable to stand the distressing scene.
Another soldier of the same regiment, named Lee, received
100 lashes and twelve days' imprisonment.—/Vmouth

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
The festivities at Liverpool, yesterday, again caused holi-
day-making in the Cotton and Share Markets.
By the Britannia steamer we have received our usual
files of papers and letters from Canada and the United States.
We are glad to find that as soon as the intelligence of
the destructive fire at Newfoundland was received, a
meeting of .the inhabitants of Quebec was held to receive
subscriptions, and 1,000/. were given to be transmitted im-
mediately. Prompt administration of aid in a case like this
is of course of urgent necessity.
There seems to be a feeling springing up in Canada, that
the new tariff of Sir Robert Peel's Ministry will not, after
all, turn out so very dangerous to colonial interests as was at
first supposed. By the way, it ought to have been beforo
mentioned that 1,000 barrels of flour were immediately or-
dered to be shipped to St. John's, Newfoundland. The Re-
lief Committee for the sufferers by the tires at Quebec
were continuing their operations. The total amount. paid up
to the 29th June was 108,720/. Os. 11d. The balance was
50,591/. in the treasurer's hands, and 10,0001. 9s. 9d. lent out
at interest at 3 per cent. The Committee were authorised to
take steps to affording immediate relief to the extent of
15,000/. The number of vessels that had arrived at Quebec
to the 9th July, inclusive, was, in 1846, 675; tonnage,
247,967. In 1845 the number was 831, of the tonnage of
308,719 tons.

The mercantile accounts from New York are rather of a
more favourable character.

The weekly returns of the operations of the Bank of
England, as compared with that of the previous week, shows
the following results:—
An increase in the circulation of 1,730,411/., or to 29,312,94 W.
An increase in the Rent of 2,240/, or to 3,508,378/.
An increase in the Public Deposits of 275,7C61., or to
3,438,401/.

A decrease in the other Deposits of 599,632/., or to
14,305,3411.

A decrease in other securities of 798,990/, or to 14,583,4071.
An increase in the amount of the rates in the Banking
Department, of 423,6751., or to 8,562,6951.
An increase in the amount of Bullion, of 86,7514 or to
15,949,427/.

OXFORD, JULY 30.—A reprieve has just arrived for
the two men, Biddle and Sherriff, who were found guilty,
upon the evidence of an accomplice, at the last assizes, for
the murder, more than three years ago, of George Hobbs, a
farmer, at the parish of North Aston, in this county.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Friday Mr. W. Baker held
an inquest at the London Hospital on Charles Ramsay, aged
forty-seven years. It appeared by the evidence that on
Monday evening Mr. George Foskett, of llillwall, Poplar,
was driving himself and two ladies in a one-horse phaeton
along the Bridge-road, when the horse suddenly took fright.
The deceased, who was on the footpath at the time, crossed
the road, as supposed, for the purpose of stopping the horse,
when he was knocked down and the wheels passed over him.
He was conveyed to the hospital, where he died the follow.
