IRELAND.
STATE TRIALS-THE WRIT OF ERROR.

This medicine has been proved in many thousand eases to be far
more efficacious than any febrifuge hitherto known, while its use
entails none of the unpleasant consequences too frequently pro-
duced by quinine and other preparations of bark.
It is purely vegetable ; its operation is uniform—its effects imme-
diate ; and it may be safely administered to infants at the breast.
The action of the medicine is slightly narcotic and highly sudorific;
pains in the head, back, and limbs are immediately relieved, and
fever is eradicated in from six to twenty-four hours. It is exhibited
in the form of a tincture, a phial containing two doses of three
drachms each being sufficient In any case. It has been extensively
used in the East and West Indies, France, Germany and Italy, with
unqualified success, in cases of the moat malignant nature, and with
equal efficacy in fevers of every type.
When the universal prevalence of fevers, and their contingent, as
well as direct, effects are considered, it will scarcely he deemed ne-
cessary to enlarge upon the value of any addition to the resources of
Medical Science, whereby the sickness and mortality arising from
this source, may be averted. But even the value of such a medicine
may be enhanced by circumstances ; as in the case of travellers,
military and naval officers, emigrants, aid others making long voy-
ages, and residents in the colonies.

DUBLIN, JUNE 10.—In the Court-of Queen's Bench, this
day, in the case of the Queen v. O'Connell and others, being
called,

The ATTORNET-GENERAL rose and asked if it were the in •
tention of the counsel for the traversers to argue the motion
upon the assignment of errors?
Sir C. O'LoGiILEN, in the absence of Mr. Whiteside, Q.C.,
said it was not their intention to do so, as that had already
been done in the argument of the plea of abatement, and they
would, therefore, let the demurrer go by default.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
111.2.N510N-HOUSE.
William George dawkins, the master of the Rainbow
steam-packet, plyitg between London and Hammer-
smith, appeared befre the Lord Mayor, to answer the
complaint of Mr. Edward Bailey, son of Mr. Bailey of
Berners-street, for having " unlawfully, carelessly, and
negligently navigated the vessel in the Thames, so that
it came in collision with a wherry, in which the com-
plainant and his two brothers, and two other young gen-
tleman, were, by season of which they were placed in
great danger, and had nearly lost their lives."
The Justice-rowa was crowded by very eager people,
several of whom were said to have witnessed the affair
which gave rise to the complaint.
Mr. Hobler having stated the particulars for the com-
plainant, called the witnesses.
Mr. Edward Bailey stated that, on Saturday the Ist of
June, he was on the river, with his two brothers and two
friends, in a wherry, about half a mile above Putney-
bridge, at about eight o'clock in the evening. They
were coming down with the tide.. in the middle
of the stream, when they met the Rainbow
steamer passing up the river. The steamer gradually
inclined her nose towards the Middlesex shore,
and witness, who was steering in the wherry, steered
rather more towards the Surrey shore. Presently
the steamer altered her course and went towards the
Surrey shore, and a man in her bows beckoned to him
to steer towards the Middlesex side. Witness obeyed,
and if both had held en the altered course they would
have cleared each other. When, however, they had got
within a very short distance of each other the steamer
again altered her course to the Middlesex side, and
struck the boat, which was a strong four-oared cutter,
upon the stern. Just before the boat was struck by the
steamer, Mr. Chapman, one of the gentlemen in the for-
mer, jumped overboard and swam towards the Surrey
shore. The concussion was so great that it threw his
younger brother, the lad behind him, and himself
into the river. When they rose, his youuger brother,
(Alfred Bailey) was between him and the boat, ,
which was broken almost to pieces, and witness pushed
his brother, who was but a bad swimmer, towards the
boat, and he was saved. Witness and Mr. Chapman
thought it would be dangerous to try to get into the
boat which had received so serious an injury, and they
continued to swim about till assistance arrived, and they
were picked up. Two or three boats came to them, but
not one came from the steamer. Two or three steamers
passed them while they were in the water, but not one
of them backed water or rendered any help at all.
Mr. Arthur Bailey, brother of the first witness, stated
that he was in the boat at the time it was run down by
the steamer. Since that time he had seen a man, who
had spoken to him. The man said he was the brother
of the captain, and that he ought to have been at the
wheel himself, but he had sent a boy who was an ap-
prentice to steer, and the apprentice had sent a stoker
to do that office, and that the stoker not knowing how
to steer let the wheel run through his hands. At first
he said the men did stop the engines, but afterwards he
said it was unfortunately Saturday night, and the call-
boy was mopping the decks, and therefore there was no
one to report the order, and he ',stated that he hoped
they would not say anything more about it, as it was his
fault.

Chief Justice PENNEFATIIER said that the Court had
not seen the demurrer ; but as the counsel for the traversers
had agreed that judgment should be for the Crown, it re-
mained for the Attorney-General to regulate the form of it.
The SOLICITOR-GENEnAL said he would have it properly
done.—The matter then dropped.

• From its portability it is available at all times, and will be found
invaluable when other medical aid cannot be obtained. It may be
safely taken under any circumstances, with a certainty of immediate
relief. Those, therefore, who, either on business or pleasure,
visit the South of France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and
the neighbouring countries and, above all, residents in the East
and West Indies, the Mediterranean, African, and South American
colonies, will do well to avail themselves of a remedy, the perfect
safety and extraordinary efficacy of which have been proved in
many thousand instances, and in every climate.
By providing themselves with a supply of this medicine, owners
or masters of vessels trading to the coast of Africa, the southern
States of America, and other parts where fever is prevalent, will
prevent its ravages from carrying off or disabling their crows, at a
lost which is utterly insignificant when compared with the value of
lives, and the time lost, and the expense incurred for hired labour,
necessarily employed in foreign porta whenever the ship's company is
unequal to the duty.
Testimonials of the most convincing nature from Sir Andrew Hal-
liday, General of Army Hospitals (In his official report,
dated British Guiana, Oct. 5, 1834, and in his letter to the Secretary
at War on Sickness Mortality in the West Indies, March 8,
1839), and numerous other distin,i,thed members of the profession,
British, Colonial, and Continental, are in the possession of Dr. War-
burg. Attested copies of the official reports, Scc., may be inspected
on application to any of the Agents for the sale of the Medicine.
Dr. Warburg's Febrifuge is prepared only under his own imme-
diate direction, and is issued exclusively from his Laboratory, No. 27,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London ; but it may be obtained
of Agents in any part of Great Britain, and also in most of the Bri-
tish Colonies, price Bs. per phial. In localities, however, where it can-
not be 'readily procured of a chemist or medicine-vendor, orders sent
direct to the Laboratory, accompanied by a reference to a house in
London for payment, or for small SUM, by a Post-office order, will
be immediately attended to.

The Freeman's Journal of_this morning says—" We under-
stand that the prison authorities have expressed their disap-
probation of the publication of the names of the visitors to
the traversers ; it is impossible, therefore, that we should
gratify the public upon a matter on which we know they
feel the utmost anxiety. We cannot have the names from
the prison."
Without at all interfering with the prison regulations,
means can and probably will be taken to publish the names,
by having the cards of visitors left at the residence of Mr.
O'Connell in Merlon-square.
GARRISON ORDER AGAINST REPEAL BUTTONS.
Since the incarceration of Mr. O'Connell and the other tra-
versers, repeal buttons have been much more generally worn
than before. It is very generally stated to-day that a garri-
son order has been issued, for the exclusion of all persons
wearing repeal buttons from the various barrack-yards in this
city. This proceeding appears so exceedingly absurd, and
indeed would be so very arbitrary a regulation, that many
have expressed doubts as to the actual existence of such an
order. But still it would be quite in keeping with the general
conduct of the Crown since the commencement of the State
prosecutions, when the famous Rhadamanthus expedition was
sent off by Lord De Grey to put down an imaginary insur-
rection in Waterford.

TREMENDOUS INCREASE OF THE REPEAL RENT.

The meeting this day was one of the most extraordinary
popular demonstrations I ever witnessed, affording evidence
the most unquestionable that the incarceration of Mr.O'Con-
nell has advanced the repeal cause more, in a week or two,
than all the " monster meetings" which formed the subject
of the State prosecutions. Long before one o'clock the Con-
ciliation Hall was nearly filled, and soon after every part of
the vast building and the street in front were densely crowded.
The sue galleries were occupied by fashionably attired
ladies. Altogether, the meeting to-day far surpassed, in
every respect, and especially in the amount of the rent, any
previous meeting of the Association.
At one o'clock Mr. Smith O'Brien entered the hall, ac-
companied by Lord French, Henry Grattan, M.P., Sir Valen-
tine Blake, Mr. O'Gorman, and several other influential
gentlemen, and was received with the most enthusiastic ap-
plause. When the cheering had subsided, he moved that
Lord French should take the chair.—(lmmense cheering,
which continued for several minutes.)
When order was restored, his Lonnsfur said, since' ast he
had the honour of being present in this hall, a calamity had
befallen their country—the Liberator of Ireland had been
sacrificed to the unmitigated hatred of a faction. Who could,
unmoved, behold the present situation of a man who had for
more than half a century devoted his superhuman talents to
the glorious end of ameliorating the condition of his father-
land. They had seen Mr. O'Connell consigned to the gloom
of a dungeon because of his hatred for oppression, and for
endeavouring to achieve the legislative independence of his
country.---(Hear, hear.) He had come from a distant part
of the country, for the purpose of presenting two addresses
which had been agreed to at two meetings, held yesterday,
in the county Galway. These addresses breathed the deepest
regret that an iniquitous power should succeed in immuring
within the walls of a prison the glorious chieftain under whom
they fought, and gained so many constitutional victories ;
but the final victory which they hoped and trusted they
would be able to obtain, would be a repeal of the legislative
union.—(Cheers.) What did the Government hope to obtain
by the incarceration of Mr. O'Connell? If they thought to
damp the national ardour they were miserably mistaken.
The spirit that was abroad could not be quenched. There
would be no shrinking, no compromise.—(Cheers.) They
were determined never to relax in their exertions till the
darling object of their wishes was obtained—the restoration
of their domestic legislature.—(Loud cheering.) He had
the gratifying fact to announce thatyesterday-a meeting was
held at Athlone, and 401. collected in as many minutes.
The SECRETARY read the minutes of the last day's meeting.
Mr. SmITH O'BRIEN said, they were so overwhelmed with
remittances, that he would take the liberty of suggesting
that gentlemen who had the intention of addressing the
meeting would defer doing so till the business had been gone
through. He then read a letter from the Mayor of Kilkenny,
inclosing 801. Bs. 9d. ; he then handed in 51., the subscription
of Pentoay O'Kelly, Esq., a gentleman of large fortune, who
had not hitherto interfered In politics; also 25/. lls. 6d. from
Newtown Hamilton ; 51., the personal subscription of James
Kelly, Esq. late High Sheriff of the county Limerick; also
351. from Tipperary, 331. from Limerick, 201. from the coal
vendors of Dublin, 26/. from Mitchelstown, and several other
sums ; also 50/. from Liverpool.
Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL, jun., handed in a contribution
from Lord Stourton, and read the following letter from his
Lordship :
" Heathfleld House, Wimbledon-common, Surrey.
" Dear O'Connell,—This morning's Chronicle tells me you
are a prisoner, and that my calculations (as I had foolishly
imagined), based on sense and justice, had in my country's
horoscope, failed me. I therefore send you my sovereign
to visit and comfort you, instead of our good Queen enter-
ing your prison gates in discharge of my debt. I wish it
were to throw them open, and to appear in the less glitter-
ing, but more valuable, shape of her royal prerogative.
But we are playing kere at kings and emperors, while we
are throwing away the affections of a free people.. If we
lose Ireland, we gain Russia! What an equivalent ! For

Mr. RICHARD O'GoRmAN handed in some sums of money.
Mr. DOHENY (barrister) handed in 60/. from Caher, and
70/. Bs. 6d. from Cashel.
Rev. Mr. ROCIIE handed in 811. from Galway.
Mr. D. O'CONNELL, jun., handed in 20/. from Clamore,
county Wexford, and other sums.
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN rose, and said he had the pleasure to
hand in 5/., the subscription of Henry Grattan, and added
that he considered it an honour in being made the medium of
doing so. He considered it an honour on account of his
high descent. He had an hereditary claim on the gratitude
of the Irish people—the spirit of his father still reigned
amongst them, and that illustrious individual was revered as
much as if he were now alive and present.
Mr. IL GrtArrAN rose and was received with immense cheer-
ing. He congratulated the meeting on being presided over
by such a man As the Noble Lord. He had read his Lord-
ship's letter, when in Italy, and he could assure him that his
name was well known through the continent of Europe. He
had passed through London without visiting the House of
Commons, and was prepared to prove to his constituents and
the country that he had not been guilty of any dereliction
of duty in acting so. A year had passed since he left Ire-
land, and during that period he had visited many countries,
and nowhere did he find one party set against another. Sec-
tarian prejudices were unknown; all was unanimity, peace,
and prosperity. It was for this country, blessed, forsooth,
with a Constitution, and boasting of the trial 11373.'7, +l-4-
ir Lii inntan nature should develop
itself. He would adopt the second maxim, " Let us love
others as they love us." He would love the English as they
loved the Irish, but he would hate the English as they hate
them.—(Cheers.) What are the words of the English Tory
papers? Did they not call the Irish people savages, and
their priests surpliced ruffians, and a demon priesthood? So
long as they continued to give vent to these expressions, so
long would he hate the English people, because he consi-
dered these papers as the friends of that people, for they were
supported by them.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman
then proceeded at considerable length to detail the many in-
justices which England had inflicted on Ireland, and con-
cluded a powerful and impressive address amidst loud cheers.
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN handed in several sums of money, and
said that the address to the Liberator, agreed upon at the last
day of meeting, was presented to him on Saturday last, and
as it was his friend Mr. M'Nevin that prepared that address,
it became his duty to read it. Mr. M'Nevin would now detail
the manner in which Mr. O'Connell had received it.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 11.
THE QUEEN, ON TITS PROSECUTION OF THE DIRECTORS OF
THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY, V. THE JUSTICES OF
BERKSHIRE.
Lord DENMAN delivered judgment in this case. This was
an action to quash certain orders of sessions, removed into
this Court by certiorari. This case contained some matters
of difficulty, according even to the statements made on the
affidavits, and the Court was not without apprehension that
the decision now about to be pronounced might give some
countenance to the supposition that this Court would enter
into the consideration of matters which were properly matters
for final decision at the sessions, and the hearing and the ad-
judication of which this Court had already disclaimed, and
now again distinctly declared its intention not to enter upon.
The effect of such a course might seem to imply that this Court
would be called upon to try over again the merits of cases which
ought to be finally disposed of at sessions. Of the inconve-
nience of such a course this Court had spoken during the pre-
sent term, and had declared its intention, and by that decla-
ration it deliberately proposed to abide. In deciding this
case the Court did not in the slightest degree depart from
that declaration, for here the opinion of the Court was founded
on the orders themselves. The affidavits were in no degree
relied on, except so far as they related to a matter which was
not in contest between the parties, namely, the dates of the
various transactions. There were four orders in this case.
Two orders had been quashed, and two others made in
October and November, 1843, confirmed two others made
respectively on the 14th and 22d of the previous
July. These confirmed orders had been made on the
22d of November, 1842, and the 24th of February, 1843.
So that two whole quarter sessions had intervened between
the making and confirmation of one, and one whole quarter
session had passed by between the making and confirmation ,
of the other. It was, therefore, clear that the rule of apply-
ing
to the next quarter sessions had not been complied with,
and the Midsummer Session, therefore, had no jurisdiction
without some explanation of the delay. No such explana-
tion had been given; nothing had been done to remove the
objeetion arising from it by entering continuances or other-
wise. Thus the case stood on the face of the orders them-
selves. The question was to be considered as arising out of
the case, as stated in the affidavits which bore on the point
of the jurisdiction of the sessions. Both the original rates
wanted the requisite declaration of the parish officers, and
were on that account void. It was suggested, for the pur-
pose of showing that the Midsummer Sessions had jurisdiction
in this matter, that the rates had been respectively allowed
on the 26th of March and the Ist of April, 1843, and that,
therefore, the hearing of the Midsummer Sessions was in
time. But that was not so in fact. The Court had seen the
original rates, and found on the face of them the proof that
nothing further had been done but to add the declaration of
the parish officers, which had been wanting in the first in-
stance. In either view of the matter, therefore, these rates
could not be sustained. But the validity of the latter orders
depended on the original rates, and as these were altogether
void, the orders confirming them must be useless and void.
On the whole, the Court was of opinion that all the four
orders must be erased.

BAIL COURT, June 11.
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
THE QUEEN V. BARNARD GREGORY.
Mr. PLATT applied to his Lordship for a rule to show cause
why the trial of this case should not be postponed until the
sittings after next Hilary Term. It was a criminal informa-
tion filed against the defendant by the Duke of Brunswick.
The grounds of the application, as set forth in the affidavits
in support of it were that the defendant was now in Newgate
gaol, in execution of a sentence of imprisonment passed upon
him at the Central Criminal Court, and which imprisonment
would not expire until November next; that the criminal
information was filed against him by the prosecutor in Tri-
nity Term, 1843, and the trial had since been appointed to
take place on the 15th instant ; that the defendant had been
for a long time suffering under a very severe illness, and was
consequently incapable of giving the necessary instructions
to his attorney to defend him ; that by the regulations of the
prison in which he was confined, the use of writing materials
was prohibited to prisoners, &c.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN granted a rule to show cause.
His Lordship afterwards went to Guildhall to try Nisi
Prius cases, and his place was taken by Mr. Justice Coleridge.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 11.
THE DERBY DISPUTE.
WOOD V. WEATHERBY AND ANOTHER.

Mr. Sergeant CAFE mentioned this case to the Court this
morning, and said that it had been arranged that the rule
in this Court should be enlarged generally, but it appeared
that an issue between the real parties to the suit, the owners
of Running Rein and Orlando, was to be tried at the ensuing
sittings before one of the Barons of the Exchequer, who
would have power to order the payment of the stakes to the
successful party. The money would then be gone, and the
stakeholders, Messrs. Weatherby, might lose their costs of
appearing in this Court.
Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said, that when the Court of
Exchequer had decided the matter, there would be an end of
the case.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

The RECORDER sat in this Court the whole of the day,
and disposed of a great many cases of felony; but the
following are the only ones deserving publicity :
John Higgins, 25, was charged with stealing a mare,
value 201., the property of George Rough.
It appeared that the prosecutor lives at 'Wandsworth,
and the mare in question was stolen from the common
near his residence on the night of the 14th May. On the
17th the prisoner appeared with the mare at Shaftes-
bury, upwards of a hundred miles from the place whence
the mare had been stolen, and he there bargained with a
man, named Wright, for the disposal of the mare, and
eventually he agreed to take another horse, a saddle and
bridle, and two sovereigns for her ; but Wright, as the
prisoner was an entire stranger to him, refused to
complete the bargain until he introduced him to some
person who knew him. Upon this the prisoner took
Wright to a person who said he knew him, but by a
different name to that he had previously given, and the
prisoner was then given into custody. After being in
gaol several days, and no person coming forward to
identify the animal, he was set at liberty, but on the
same day the prosecutor arrived at Shaftesbury and
identified the mare, and the prisoner was pursued and
taken into custody.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he bought the mare
for nine sovereigns at a fair in the neighbourhood of
Shaftesbury, but he called no witnesses in support of his
statement.

The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the pri-
soner was sentenced to be transported for ten years.
Charles Edwards, 26, and William Johnson, 31, were
charged with stealing nineteen yards of cloth, value 17L,
the property of Samuel Summers.
The mode in which this robbery was effected was of
a very ingenious character, and our readers will do well
to be upon their guard against such proceedings in fu-
ture. It appeared that the prisoner Edwards, who
represented himself to be a Frenchman, called at the
house of the prosecutor, who is a tailor residing in the
Borough-road, accompanied by another man, and they
both conversed with the prosecutor for some time rela-
tive to clothes which they represented they wished to
have made. They went away together, and shortly
afterwards Johnson called and gave the servant
a note addressed to the prosecutor, and which she took
up stairs to him. The note was to the following effect:—
" Dear Sir,—Please to call and take the measure of my
eldest son Charles for a suit of clothes;" but there was
no signature to it. The moment the prisoner Johnson
was left alone, he went round the counter, and took up a
piece of cloth and ran off with it, but the manoeuvre was
fortunately observed, and he was pursued for some dis-
tance, and until he jumped into a cab, in which was
quietly seated the other prisoner, Edwards, who was
evidently waiting for his companion, and the piece of
cloth was lying between them. Upon Edward's being
searched, a note in the same hanwritino• as that sent to
the prosecutor, was found in his pocket ; the contents
were to the following effect :—" Dear Madam,—Please
to let me know upon what terms you can let your lodg •
ings to a foreigner of distinction." This note had nei-
ther name nor address to it, and was evidently intended
for the purposes of fraud.
The prisoner Edwards, who had all the appearance

Mr. Edward Senor, of No. 22,
_Essex-street, Strand,
solicitor, stated that he was on board the Rainbow
steamer when the collision took place. The steamer had
put ashore some passengers, and, he believed, the captain,
before it took place. A man on board the steamer made
a motion to the parties in the boat to go to the Surrey
side. They did go towards the Surrey side, and the
steamer dodged them, and then they went towards the
Middlesex side, and the steamer did the same, and the
boat was then struck by the steamer. Witness imme-
diately ran to throw over a rope, and saw three persons
in the water. The steamer, however, went on.
The LORD MAyon—Did you see any attempt made on
the part of the steamer to render assistance ? No ; but
two or three boats went to their assistance from the
Surrey side. _ _

The LORD MAYOR _Well, defendant, what have you
to say in answer to this charge ? The defendant said
that when a steamer got above Patney-bridge the danger
was considered to be over, and ;t was accordingly left to
the management of the mate, who was perfectly quali-
fied. Witness was ea on board at the time the acci-
dent occurred.

The mate stated, that he could not take upon himself
the management, and be at the wheel at the same time;
he had, therefore, put the foremast hand on board to
the wheel, and the stoker to help him, and the accident
occurred without any fault upon his side.
The LORD MAYOR said--So the lives of persons are
tobeput in imminent peril by your gross neglect of duty.
The captain leaves his mate to do his business, and the
mate appoints somebody else, and three lives have been
placed in jeopardy. This is a most atrocious case—if
a life had been lost these persons most certainly could
be tried for manslaughter and convicted. What are the
feelings of Mr. Bailey, the father of these young gentle-
men, as to the punishment to be awarded. I recommend
that an action be brought immediately against the pro-
prietor of the steamer.
Mr. Bailey.—l am so
grateful for the fortunate escape
of my sons, that I cannot say I have any other feeling ;
but I considered that it was proper, for the sake of the
public, to bring the case before your lordship, and I
wish to be wholly guided by your judgment.
The defendant.--Allow me to call a witness to show
that the steamer was not in fault.
Frederick Phelps, Putney waterman, was then called
by the defendant. Ile stated that he was standing on
the bank of the river, on the Surrey side, and be saw
the steamer and the boat, and just as the steamer got
near the boat, he heard the man on board the steamer
call out. He then saw the steamer strike the boat, and
heard the man on board the steamer cry out, " Stop her,
stop her."
The LORD MAYOR.---I don't believe one word you
have uttered. _

A person who said he was the superintendent of the
steamer, which was the property of a Mr. Spiller, here
stood forward at the desire of the Lord Mayor.
His LORDSHIP wished to know whether the superin-
tendent meant to sanction the continuance of the de-
fendant and his mate in their situations, after what they
had stated ?

The superintendent said the mate was perfectly well
qualified to take upon himself the command of the
steamer in the absence of the captain, and did not ap-
pear to think that there was any mismanagement at all
on board ; neither did he, nor the captain, nor the mate,
express any regret at what had occurred.
The LORD MAYOR declared that he could not speak
in terms of condemnation strong enough to express his
feelings upon the occasion. If he were the proprietor,
the defendant and the mate should undergo instant dis-
missal. The dismissal of those persons was certainly
due to the public. Unfortunately, he (the Lord Mayor)
was not empowered by the Act of Parliament to inflict
in this case a higher penalty than SL, and he by all
2.1.. Daiivy tv bring an notion fur the re-
covery of damages.
Mr. Bailey—As they have expressed no contrition at
all for what has taken place they are fairly open to
the law.

The Lorin MAYOR—I by all means recommend it,
and I shall discharge the case in order that legal pro.
liable of regret
ceedings may be adopted.
It was most extraordinary that, although the crowd
in the justice-room expected to have a shower of
apologies og
utterede s .and nbdy submissions,
bmei sf s itobness,e notrb one
were sY interested in the
cause of the steamer.
It was said, in the course of the investigation, that
every nail in the four-
oared cutter was started by the
collision.

trons—The Rabadashera' Company of London.

Mr. T. M'NEvii (barrister) then rose, and delivered a
most emphatic speech, and concluded by handing in several
contributions.

Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL, jun., rose and said that Mr.
O'Connell and his fellow-prisoners felt exceedingly happy,
because they felt that they had performed their duty, and
were confident that the best results would assuredly follow
from their incarceration. They were happy, because the
people maintained the peace, and deported themselves in a
manner that was most creditable. Henceforth there should be no
neutrality. Every one that did not join the Association
should be ranked amongst their enemies.—(Loud cheers.)
He then congratulated the meeting on the magnificent dis-
play which had taken place on that day, and on the vast in-
crease of. the funds, and concluded by expressing his convic-
tion that there was no hope save in their own exertions.
The following sums were then handed in :—From 'the
Linen-hall Ward, 170/. 6s. 4d ; Law Clerks' Society, 50/. ;
from Sligo, 55/. ; the College Ward, 84/. ; the Castle Ward,
75/. ; Mov, county Tyrone, 251. 7s.
D Mr. OrNEILL AUNT handed in a sum of money, and ob -
served that he thanked the Government for the present de-
monstration. Who could now doubt of the achievement of
the repeal ? The Morning Herald had said that repeal was
dead. They certainly looked very unlike dead men.
Mr. JOHN REILLY handed In the sum of 140/. 7s. 6d., con-
tributed by several localities; and addressed the meeting.
Mr. S. O'Barxx announced the receipt of 661. 10s. from St.
Paul's ward ; 117/. 18s. 6d. from Fermoy (county Cork) ;
321. 10s. from Longford (collected yesterday); 251. from New
Ross, per Martin Doyle; W., the renewed subscription of J.
H. Talbot, Esq., late M.P. for Wexford ; and read a letter
which accompanied the remittance; and several other sums.
He then said he had to announce that the Association had
received an address from the " National Complete Suffrage
Union," signed by JrAeph Sturge, which the Hon. Gentle-
man read to the meeting. He then said, he was sure they
would receive with satisfaction any document breathing a
spirit of sympathy from the other side of the water. But he
considered he would not be dealing candidly with the people
of England if he did not tell them that the time-had gone by

when the people of Ireland would seek for any amelioration
except a domestic Parliament.—(Cheers.) lie then moved
that the committee be directed to prepare a suitable answer.
Several gentlemen handed in different sums of money.
➢ir. Small O'BRIEN announced 1001. from the Post-office
Ward.

Mr. FITZPATRICK (barrister) handed in 1461. from Nenagb,
county Tipperary.
Mr. S. O'Bums handed in 971. from Coolboyne, county
Kilkenny; from Skibbereen, 321. 165.; from Trim, county
Meath, 401.

The itev. Mr. MAcKLIN handed in 42/. 10s. front Loughrea,
and addressed the meeting.
Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL, jun., handed in several contribu-
tions from the counties Roscommon and Tipperary.
The confusion consequent on the anxiety of gentlemen to
hand in the several sums entrusted to them for presentation
previous to the adjournment of the meeting was so great,
that we could not ascertain the places from which the re-
mittances came.

Mr. NUGENT handed in the sum of 624 from Kingstown,
collected in a few hours yesterday.
Mr. 3PKErrrulcx, a Presbyterian, handed in a sum of
money, and stated, that there was a spirit in favour of A
domestic legislature growing amongst the Presbyterians, and
that it had in fact reached a greater length than their enemies
were willing to acknowledge.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. Snuff O'BRIEN rose and said, he was sure it would
prove gratifying to the meeting to hear that the Liberator
was in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits. He
had the pleasure of spending the last evening with him,
and he could assure them that his feeling was one of un-
mixed exultation. . It was true his body was in prison, but
his spirit was abroad ; it pervaded the land, and, happily
for the British Government, controlled the people of this
country. Why should they not rejoice ? Look to the
meeting on this day week, the receipt's of money and the
demonstrations which have taken place during the past
week. It must be pretty plain to the Government that they
have made a mistake in incarcerating Mr. O'Connell. The
means by which it was accomplished he -would not now ad
vent to. It had, he understood, been whispered abroad that
it was the intention of the Executive to suppress this As
sociation by proclamation. He was here to tell them that
the Committee had determined to try the legality of any Filch
proclamation, should such issue. They believed that they
had a perfectly legal right to assemble here, and they were
not going to surrender that right without a struggle. If
such an event as that to which he had alluded should occur,
he would ask the Association as a favour to allow him to
take the chair on that occasion.—(It would be impossible to
describe the enthusiastic applause which followed this
announcement) When the cheering had subsided, Mr.
Henry Grattan called for three cheers for their Vice-Chair-
man, which was heartily responded to. The Hon. Gentle-
man then continued his address, and concluded amidst loud
cheering.
TWENTY MINUTES TO SIN O'CLOCK.—The rent is not
yet declared ; but I have ascertained that it has reached
3,2001.
- Important popular demonstrations have taken place at
Sligo, Tuam, Galway, Loughrea, and Enniscorthy.
ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL

The sixteenth anniversary of this noble Institution was
celebrated last evening by a dinner at the London Tavern,
Bishopsgate-street. Nearly two hundred gentlemen sat
down to a splendid repast, provided in the best style of
catering for which Messrs. Bathe and Breach are so justly
celebrated the wines and viands were of the highest ex-
cellence. The chair was taken by Lord Ashley, 111. P , sup-
ported by Lord R. Grosvenor and Viscount Ebrington.
Among the gentlemen present, in addition to the Noble
Chairman and his supporters, we observed Lord Sandon, Sir
W. Stirling, Hon. Granville Ryder, Mr. E. Wigram, Mr.
Thomson Hankey, Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Vernon Wentworth,
Rev. Dr. Major, Rev. Dr. Rice, Rev. Mr. Packman, Mr. F.
P. Walesby, &c.
On the removal of the cloth the Chairman gave the toasts
of the Queen, the Queen-Dowager, his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, and the rest of the royal family. These toasts
were drank with every demonstration of attachment and
affection.
The CHAIRMAN then said, their most hearty acceptance
and most earnest desires would be demanded for the next
toast which he should have the honour of proposing. The
other toasts had been the mere compliments and decorations
of their festivity ; but this toast formed the main business
of the evening. All opinions must concur in the propriety
of establishing hospitals for the sick and needy, all their sym-
pathies should guide them in that direction. He would go
farther, and say that no principle of political economy was
so stiffly held, or was so severe, that would not bend to the
allowing the expediency of such an institution.—(Cheers.)
But if they acknowledged the force of this principle as ordi-
narily established, how much more would they confess the
blessed and beneficial uses of an institution such as this ?
(Hear, hear.) It was not necessary that they should dis-
parage other hospitals; in the system they pursued, and the
tests they required, they urged very strong reasons for their
rules, and certainly they had in their favour many compen-
sating advantages.—(Hear, hear.) But let them speak
of this charity absolutely and not relatively. Their
institution was essentially the refuge of the poor,
the friendless, and the afflicted.—(Cheere.) In their
hospital disease was the test of fitness, and poverty the certi-
ficate of recommendation.—(Cheers.) Now surely in their
vast metropolis there ought to be at least one institution of
this kind.—(Hear, hear.) They all knew the many impedi-
ments that stood in the way of the applications of sufferers.
Many were the inhabitants of those vast districts of the
metropolis, where wealth and station were never seen • they
might not know one human being of whom they could ask
a recommendation. They might be too poor to provide the
requisite clothing—their diseases might be pressing, and
they might be ill able to bear the delays required. They
might live at a great distance, and might have to travel to
the institution at a great expense of time and trouble, and
after all they might be refused. These might be good and
very necessary rules, but nevertheless they had a very severe
operation. Their delight was in the freedom of their institution.
Time would show whether it would be permanently prac-
ticable, but meanwhile they were acting on the apostolic
principle of " trying all things, that they might hold fast
that which was good."—(Cheers.) Their records would ex-
hibit in the statement of the extent of their relief the value
of their charity. In the period of seven years, from 1838 to
1844, as compared with the year of 1837, it appeared that
they had relieved threefold the amount of those they re-
lieved in the former year. In 1832 the recipients of their
charity were 3,132. In 1844, a year healthy compared with
that which saw the ravages of that awful disease—the
cholera—they relieved 20,754. Now these were people for
whom they went forth " into the highways and hedges"—
people who but for their institution would never have known
relief; every one who had perambulated the suburbs of this
overgrown city, its unhealthy localities, must have perceived
that even for the sake of self-preservation, if for no higher
consideration, they would be induced to endow hospitals
and dispensaries, in order to counteract, if they could not
remove, the causes of pestilence.--(Hear, hear.) But the use
of hospitals surely did not end here ; they might be directed
no less to the mind than the body of men. The hour of sick-
ness was often the hour of wisdom, and the word of counsel
proffered by the pastor or minister of religion would often
reach that hardened heart at such a time, that in the day of
health would have been inaccessible to its influence. the
institution was calculated not only to confer good on indivi-
duals, but blessings upon society. These were the rules of
the charity, and it depended on those present that the fruits
which such a charity as this would bear, should resemble
those of the tree that grew both for time and eternity. He had
much satisfaction in proposing " Prosperity to the Royal
Free Hospital." The toast was drank with loud and conti-
nued applause.
Song—" The Captive Greek Girl," by Mr. Harrison.
The SECRETARY of the Charity (the Rev. Mr. Packman)
then read the report, which was of a very favourable kind, as
will be perceived by the following extract :
" The first point to which they would direct attention is,
the gratifying circumstance, that the two public meetings,
held at the West-end and in the City of London, for raising
a subscription to defray the purchase and fitting up of the
new Hospital, have realised the most sanguine expectations ;
indeed, it could hardly be otherwise, seeing they were
patronised by many of the greatest and most influential
philanthropists of the present day, among whom they have
to particularise as pre-eminent, Lord Robert Grosvenor and
Mr. Samuel Gurney, who respectively prosidad ae those
" Your Committee have observed, with unfeigned satisfac-
tion, that the Government contemplate providingasylums, in
different parts of the metropolis, for receiving the "casual
poor," of the necessity for which measure we have recently
had but too alarming a proof; but, as these asylums, like our
union workhouses, which receive the destitute without medi-
cal classification, will have no adequate accomodation for the
`Casual Sick and Diseased,' who are still to be relieved by
private charity, and who may henceforward be expected td'
apply in even augmented numbers at this, the only Hospital,
especially designed and appropriated for them, the Committee
are of opinion, that not a moment should be lost in making
every necessary arrangement for their reception. They
strongly recommend, therefore, the immediate erection of the
proposed new wing, which will admit of an additional 100
beds to the 150 now in use, and also afford room for some
much needed domestic offices."
The contributions for the past year were stated to amount
to 10,206/. 6s. 5d., of which 4,8281. was collected by Lord R.
Grosvenor and the West-end Committee, and 2,695/. by
Samuel Gurney, Esq., and the City Committee. During the
last year the charity has relieved 1,598 persons in extreme
sickness, disease, and want ; 19,156 persons have also been
relieved as out-patients. The report also stated :that—" Too
much praise cannot be bestowed upon the medical staff of the
establishment, for the part they have
i taken this great
work ; for their unceasing labour and zeal' n the performance
of their very arduous duties ; for the great consideration they
have manifested towards the numerous unhappy sufferers ;
in a word, so to express it, for their medical philanthropy.
The Committee earnestly invite attention to the efficiency of
the Hospital in all its departments, as being the best criterion
of the success of the plan on which it is conducted, and as best
evincing the deep interest taken in it by the founder and
director, Dr. Marsden, and his great anxiety to effect every
possible practical improvement—to that gentleman the thanks
of the Governors are eminently due." The report was re-
ceived with great applause.
Lord EBRINGTON, before he proceeded to propose the next
toast, begged to supply an omission which their worthy se -
cretary had made in reading the report ; he had omitted the
paragraph which contained a just tribute to his own exer-
tions, the Committee having to express to the Rev. Gentle-
man-their repeated obligations for his prompt and business-
like habits, kind disposition, and unwearied zeal on behalf
of the Ilospital.—(Cheers.) He then proposed the health
of the Duchess of Kent.—(Cheers.) It was not only in con-
nection with this institution that she set an example of libe-
rality and benevolence, nor was this the only charity in which
the name of their Gracious Queen was found followed by that 1
of the Duchess of Kent.—(Cheers.)
Mr. THOMPSON HANKY proposed the health of the Presi-
dent and:Nice-President of the Institution. Drank with
loud cheers.

Rev. Dr. RICE returned thanks.
The SECRETARY then read the list of the contributions of
the evening, which amounted to 1,160/. The Bank of Eng-
land and the East India House gave 100/. each.
The Rev. Dr. RICE then gave "The Royal Free Hospital,
and Dr. Marsden, its founder."
Dr. MARSDEN returned thanks. He said it gave him the
