STILL LATER FROM ENGLAND.


Waterman, at New York from Liverpool, files
papers ofthat city to the evening OF the l4th
of April. inclusive, have been received.
From the continent with the exception of Por-
tugal, our advices are no later than were re-
ceiyed by the Poland, direct from Havre.
ENGLAND.
The Parliament of Great Britain had re-as-
sembled on the day of our latest advices and,
although the first sitting is rarely appropriated
60 business in any legislative assemblage, we
pefceive that in the House of Lords great
number of petitions were presented, complain
ing Of agricultural soliciting support OF
the Established Church-to remove the disabili-
ties of the dissenters-for the abolition of tthes-
for the better observance of the Sabbath-and
for the redress ofvarious other alleged grievan-
ces.
The House of Commons, too, was not relev
ed from the labor of business. Mr. O'Conne
presented sixteen Irish petitions for the repeal
of the Union, Various other petitions, princi-
pally in reference to the same subjects as those
adverted to in the House of Lords, were pre-
sented and referred-after which the miscella-
neous estimates were made the subject of con-
sideration-a few items to the amount of esq.,
600 sterling, passed-and at the period OF our
latest advices, the Improvement OF the National
Gallery was the subject OF debate, ana SIR 10
bert Peel on his legs.
The funeral solemnities of Sir Richard Keats,
late Governor of Greenwich Hospital, were per-
formed on the 18th ultimO, with all the pomp
and dignity of naval military observance. The
King had been, in early life, shipmate of the
Admiral, and gave orders to have the funeral
conducted with all the honOrS due to the high
station of the deceased in the British service. 1t
was accordingly attended by many noblemen
ofdistinction and the whole of the great square
ofthe Greenwich Hospital was lined with pen
sioners, and the upper quadrangle, in addition
to lines of pensioners was skirted by 100 nurses
and 200 girls, whose appearance added much to
the interest and impreSsiveneSS of the scene
Lord William Russell, the late Minister from
the British Court to that of Donna Maria has
returned to England
IRELAND.
Mr. o. Connell has addressed another letter to
the people of Ireland, dated the Sth of April, in
which he reproves the suplneness that had been
manifested in procuring signatures Tor repeal
of the Union His requsition, he says, was for
half million OF names, and fewer than eighty
thousand had been obtained. He charitably at
tributes the deficiency however, to the preva-
lence ofthe cholera which, he states, had spread
more extensively during the present winter,
than il did at any former period, reaching dis
tricts which it had before spared" He also adj
duces other reasons that had probably contri-
buted to the result.
The general scope and tenor of the letter va
ries but little from his previous epiStolary effu-
agitation the moment they hear that his motion
for repeats defeated; and at the same time fore
warns them to be prepared for defeat, and gives
them satisfactory reasons for expecting it, by
stating that the vote upon the question would
be DO in its favor, and 40 against il; and yet he
concludes with the adjuration, Men ofIreland,
do not despair" Really, with such prospects,
and especially when he states, moreover, that
there will probably be majority of even the
Irish members against the measure, we can per-
ceive but very narrow room for the indulgence
of hope.
The following shocking occurrences recent
ly took place in Tipperary. A letter dated at
Clonmell, on the 18th of April, states that on
Thursday, 1.-THE 3d. a man named Corbett was
deliberately shot by Policeman, near New
castle, in that county. The circumstances at
tending this affair prove that the murder of Cor
bett was deliberate and preconcerted. The
vengeance ofthe people would find vent. They
could not suffer a person whom they admired
for his many daring deeds, TO be deprived of
life without visiting with terrible consequences
his murdererS. Accordingly, at his funeral on
the following day, which was attended by up
wards of 10000 persons, some conSplratorS re-
solved upon the fate of the policemen. Shortly
after the remains of Corbett were deposited in
the churchyard, and in part of the country not
more than few miles distant from the place of
interment, three policemen, who were eScorting
to the neighborng station person under ar
who deprived them of their arms, rescued their
prisoners, and at o'clock in the day, barbar-
ousy murdered the escort, who were seen short
ly afterwards by gentleman then passing
ofthem literally lifeless, his brains protrud-
ing through terrible woudds, his head cleft asun-
der, and his comrades in arms as well as in mi
sery, lying, nearly dead, ip large pools of blood,
on the road. Immediate search was made for
the murdefous assaiants. The military station
ed at Cahir Barracks secured the country, and
how, ,<,lye ~ 49,
police. The result of this search has been the
apprehension, on suspicion, of four or FIVE per-
sons. In the mean time, the country is wonder
fully excited. The Police perceive that they are !
the devoted objects ofthe deadly malice of the
peasantry, and raise, by their obstinate conduct.
to a much higher pitch, the hostile dispositions
of the people in their regard. 1t is supposed |
that conspiracy, on a very great scale, exists
in that part of Tipperary
PORTUGAL.
From the scene of fraternal discord, accounts |
are many days later than before received. The
following is the perq latest, and dated ''City, IL
