1KEM ENDOtO hEi Ehl@ SibE NV,
The Tabernacle, last evening was crowded

land, male and female, who were addressed
with intense effect by Robert Tyler, Esq on the
sngrossing subject Of repeal Ia bold aud fiery
rloquence, Mr. Tyler spoke TO the heads and
hearts of the vast assembly, and traced with u-
dignant severity the history OF England's IN
aurnehaLle hostility 10 Irish Liberty, iDdepend-
ence, and moral and religious development Hs
remarks were received with Overwhelming ap-
plause, and al the conclusion lthe meetngg gave
him three enthusiastic cheers.
Eloquent speeches were also made by H. Col.
Inns Lee, district attorney OF Map laud William
w allace, Esq of New York, aud Isaac II.
Wright, Esq, of Roxbuy.
A large sum of money was collected for the

When the rumor of the death of Mr..
Legare spread through the City this morn
ing, an expression of melancholy regret
was visible on all faces for Mr.. Legare
was universally esteemed, and was never
assailed even by his political enemies.
The Executive Mansion, and all the
Departments, have been closed; and, we
understand the Court, now in session,
when informed of the sad event, adjourned.
The order for the funeral has not yet
transpired and we are unable TO state
whether the remains will be deposited in
The Cemetery at Boston, brought hilher
or taken to Charleston. The mail to-
morrow morning vii doubtless, bring u'
specific information on the subject, which
will be published in the afternoon.

A CAPITAL LIKENESS.

We have been presented with likeness OF
the Hon. &. A. Wickliflc, painted by George G
Bingham Of this city, and engraved by J. Sar
tain of Phiadelphia, which, according to on
judgment, is far superior to the specimens gen
orally found in the print shops.
The portrait of Mr.. Wicklife painted by Mr.
Bingham, was pronounced by those who vsitet
his study, to be as near perfection as gifted ar
tst could make it and now the engraver ha
TIED his hand on the same subject, and he To-
has succeeded.
We would remark, in conclusion, that tbos
who may desire to possess correct Likeness o
the present Postmaster General, will never hav
better opportunity to obtain il than the on
now offered.
