`• We received this intelligence from Colonel J. C. Eldredge,
who accompanied General Houston from Texas, and who is now on
his way to Washington city.

" The simple announcement of this melancholy though long-
expectcd event wilt excite the deepest emotion in the hearts of the
A m erican people. The memory of Jackson belongs to his country.
tier history will contain the record of his valuable services, his
sterling patriotism, and a nation's gratitude will be his monument.
•" The funeral, we understand, was to have taken place yester-
day morning.

" "f he Common Council last evening passed resolutions appro.
prate to the occasion, appointed a joint committee to confer with
other citizens, and report at a special meeting a plan for a more
general manifestation of the public sorrow, in view of this melan-
choly dispensation of Providence.
"' General Andrew Jackson was born March 15,1667, and tiled
June 8,1845, in his 78th year."

We regret also to announce the death of Edward L. Carey,
Eqg , of Philadelphia, who for many years was the senior
partner in the house of Carey and Hart, the eminent puh-
lishPrs of this city.

Our advices from Montreal extend to the 15th instant, by
which we learn that great exertions were made to push dry
goods sales byauction, but little business appears to have been
transacted. Freights were still in a dull state, owing to the
nivulier of vessels cle.aring being more than was actually re-
quired for the demand that existed. The Flour Market way
dull, and prices remained at 245. to 245. Od. ; Pot Ashes wf re
233. 3d. to 235. 6d. ; Pearls had fallen 3d., and sold at 245.
tc 24..4. 3d.

The Wesleyan Conference of ministers had terminated
their sittings. Great numbers cf emigrants were arriving,
ail (,f whom were pushing their way to the west.
In comtntrcial matters there is little worthy of remarl:.
Ashes s(11 firmly at at 3 dolls. 81 cents. No sales of cotton
of importance, but prices very firm. Provisions are in good
demand at firm prices.

IRELAND.
INQUEST AT BALLINHASSIG.

The inquest was resumed on Saturday morning. Under tint
directions of the Coroner the police force were called in; they went
accompanied by their officer, Mr. Kelly.
Mr. Walsh—Are these the men who formed the party at Bat-
linhassie on that fair night? Mr. Scannell—Certainly.
Mr. Walsh—Will it Le admitted that the seven persons, whose
bodies have been viewed by the jury, died from gunshot wounds
find by that party ?
Mr. Scannell— This is a most unprecedented course.
Mr. Percy (county inspector)—l may state to Mr. Walsh that
there can be no doubt of the fact.

Mr. Scannell—There is no allegation that shots were fired by
any but police, and we admit that what firing took place was under
the command of the officer. I cannot go beyond that.
Mr. Walsh—Will it be admitted that the firing to the end was
with the sanction of the officers ?

Mr. Scannell—The general order was given prior to the com.
mcncernent of the firing, and it was given under the impression
that it was not only justifiable but essentiaL lam not prepared to
say whether the tiring was continued to the end with the sanction
of the officer.

Mr. Walsh— Before the firing ceased did he giveorders to cease?

:%Ir. Scannell—No.
The CORONER—We may take it that it was under the first order
they acted throughout.

Mr. Scannell—That may or may not appear in the evidence.
The evidence was then proceeded with. The whole day was
consumed in the examination of two of the country people—Denis
Delany and Patrick Hurley—whose testimony was to the same
effect as that given by the witnesses on the previous day. Delany
swore most positively that no injury was done to the back of the
Dispensary until there were three corpses on the road outside;
but subsequently, on his depositions being read over by the
Coroner, he corrected himself by saying that he had not, at tho
time he saw the bodies, a view of the back of the Dispensary.
The inquiry was then adjourned to Monday morning.
