DEATH OF GENERAL JACKSON.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

We have another arrival here-to-day From New York, the
Shakespeare, Capt. Cornell, with papers one day later, the
interest of which may be summed up in the announcement
of the death of General Jackson.
The particulars of this event are from the New
York papers of the lids June t—
'` The event for which the nation had been reiignedly looking
for some time past has at last occurred, and the venerable Jackson
is no more. The news, although it was anticipated, produced a
marked sensation in this city. Many persons immediately closed
their stores—flap were hoisted half-mast high on the liberty poles—
and througlioat the community all seemed impressed with the feel.
ing that a mighty man had departed for ever. General Jackson's
name has long been associated with the history of this country,
and will be now enrolled on the list of worthies who have done the
republic no mean service. He had many faults, of which friends
and enemies alike made as much as they could ; but he had also
many virtues, and let them only be remembered now Amid the
quire aid solemn shades of the Hermitage, and close by the ashes
of his wife,

" ' After life's fitful fever, he sleeps well.'

"The Louisville Democrat, of Wednesday last, contains the
following melancholy intelligence:—
"' The tern of General Jackson's eventful life closed on Sunday,
Sth instant, at six o'clock. On Sunday morning the report reached
Nashville that he had expired, owing to his having fainted away,
in the attempt to remove him from his chair to his bed. He, how-
ever recovered for a few hours.
A short time before his death, be twit an affectionate leave
of his friends and domestics, retaining to the last his senses and
intellect unctiuded. He expired with the utmost calteness, ex.
pressing the highest confidence in a happy immortality through a
Redeemer.

'• • General Houston landed at Nashville at half.past six on
Sunday evening, and set off in haste to the Hermitage, but was
met by the physician, who informed him that the General was no

" ' We received this intelligence from Colonel J. C. Eldredge,
who accompanied General Houston from Texas, and who is now on
his way to Wa.hington city. _ . . . . .

" ' The simple announcement of this melancholy though long.
expected event will excite the deepest emotion in the hearts of the
American people. The memory of Jackson belongs to his country.
Her 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.
" he Common Council last evening passed resolutions appro.
priate to the occasion, appointed a joint clinniittee to confer with
other citizens, and report at a special meetin4 a plan for a more
general maniiestation of the public sorrow, in view of this melan-
choly diipensation of Providence.
General Andrew Jack,on was born March 15,1667, and died
June 8,1845, in his 78th year."
We regret. als., to announce the death of Edward L. Carey,
'Esc!, of Philadelphia, who for many years was the senior
partner in the house of Carey and Hart, the eminent pub-
lishers of this city.
Our amh ices front Montreal extend to the 15th instant, by
which we learn that great exertions were made to push dry
goods sales by 'auction, but little business appears to have been
transacted. Freights were still in a dull state, owing to the
number of vessels clearing being more than was actually re-
qu t. e d for the demand that existed. The Flour Market was
dull, and prim-es remained at 245. to 245. 9d.: Pot Ashes were
235. 3d. to 235. 6d. ; Pearls had fallen 3d., and sold at 245.
to 245. 3d.
The Wesleyan Conference of ministers had terminated
their sittings. Great numbers of emigrants were arriving,
all of whom were pushing their way to the west.
In comtwrcial matters there is little worthy of remark.
Ashes sell 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 BALLINITASSIG.
The inquzst was resumed on Saturday morning. Under the
directions of the Coroner the police force were called in ; they were
accompanied by their officer, Mr. Kelly.
Mr. Watsh—Are these the men who formed the party at Bal..
linhassig on that fair night ? Mr. Scannell—Certainly.
Mr. Walsh—Will it be admitted that the seven persons, whose
oodles have been viewed by the jury, died from gunshot wounds
fin d by that party ?
Mr. Scannell— Phis is a most unprecedented course.
Mr. Percy (county inspector)-1 may state to Mr. Walsh that
there can be no doubt of the tact.
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 it be admitted that the firing to the end was
with the sanction of the officers?

Mr. Scannell—The genera order was given prior to the corn-
muncement of the firing, and it was given under the impression
that it was not only justifiable but essential. lam not prepared to
say .hether the firing was continued to the end with the sar.ction
of the officer.
W4l.ll—Before the firing ceased did he giveorders to cease?

ISlr. Scannell—No.
The CORONER—We may take it that it was under the first order
they acted throughout.
Mr. Scatine.l—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
Ditany and Patrick Hurley—whose testimony was to the same
effect as that given by the witnesses rui the previous day. Delany
swore most priaitively that no injury was done to the back of the
Dispensary until there were three corpses on the road outside;
but subsequently, on Ms depositions being read over by the
Conmer, he corrected himself by saying that he had not, at the
time he saw the bodies, a view of the back of the Dispensary.
The inquiry was then adjourned to Monday morning.
RI, PEAL ASSOCIATION.

DUBLIN, JUL,: 7.—The weekly meeting of the Association,
which took place to-day, was greatly crowded. Mr. O'Connell,
accompanied by several of the leading members of the body, was
present, and upon his entrance was loudly cheered. Mr. M.
O'Connell, M. P , presided.
Mr. DAVIS moved the adoption of a draught of a petition to be
extensively distributed in Ulster for the purpose of obtaining
signatures to it, praying the House of Commons not to pass any
Bill touching the tenantry of Ireland, without enacting therein a
cl ruse recognising and saving whale the custom commonly called
" the tenant.ri,;ht of Ulster."

Mr. O'CoNNELL seconded the motion, and denounced any at-
tempt to hued., re with the existing tenant right as a scheme of
robbery by the landlords He pledged himself to make every
exertion in his power not only to preserve the present tenant-right
fur the people of Ulster, but to extend it to every other part of
Ireland.
The petition having been adopted,
Mr. O'CoNstet.i. again rose, and said that he had a few observa-
tions to make on the subject of his recent mission to England. He
denied that he had ever made any declaration of total absence from
his Parliamentary duties, as was asserted by some of the English
journals. What he had said was, that he should not go over unless
for the purpose of endeavouring to effect some good or to avert
some evil. He was also reported to have declared himst If favour.
able to mixed enucatton. and to have given an a.pinion to the effect
that the political tart of the New Colleges Bill would do no harm
to Ireland. Now, both these reports were utterly untrue. As to
Mr. Roebuck, he had bean comp'aisant enough not to attack him
( O'Conn. II) since he wen, Over to radon. Now in truth he
cared as little fur his a'nree as for the barkinl of a cur-dog, and he
b gg, d p,don of the four loured animal fir the coinverison.—
(Laughter.) That was all he hail to say about little Roebuck, and he
would next call attention to she present posture of affairs. The
Hon. Gentle an then recounted the steps which he and Mr. S.
O'Brien tor:k in the House of Commons in opposition to the New
Banking and, Colleges Bills, and stated hit objections in e.rtenso
to the latter measure, denounc.ng it as penal, restrictive, and
having a tendency to corrupt the youth of the country. He in-
culcated the necessity of concilite ing persons of all political opinions,
and earnestly condemned the system of Ribandism and Molly
Magu;reism, which is spreading ti.rough the country. He adverted

to the rt cent fatal co lision between the police and the country
people n the county of Cork, where thirteen " innocent" persons
lust their lives, and held it up as a warning to all to abstain from
outrage and violence. The loss of life on that occasion had taken
place in consequence of the manner ;n wh.ch the police were armed.
In his opinion, the Government was wrong to send out the police
on every occasion with deadly weapons in their hands. He also
alluded to she assassination of Mr. Booth, and called upon wretches
like his murderer to recollect that the red arm of God's vengeance
was rat-eel agaiiat them, and that, if their crime was unrepented,
their final doom was as certain as it was horrible to contemplae. He
concluded by calling on the repeal wardens to rally with him for
tranquillity, old Ireland, and the repeal.
A resolution was adop ed, to the effect that the Rev. T. Maguire's
speech at the Cavan meeting of magistrates should be printed and
circulated in Cavan and the adjoining counties. _ _

Mr. H. GRATTAN and Mr. J. O'CONNELL addressed the meeting
at great lengrh ag.inst the New Education Bill.
The week's rent was stated to amount to 4071. Is.
