THE IRISH NATIONAL GATHERING . 5 ABA OP THE KIKQS . last treek -we had sot room even let the meagre jna nnsaStfactory report t > f the XJreat Irish Kstlonal { jajherinz , to declare , or pronounce , for Repeal , -which appeared in the I ^ mdondailj papers . ItTras at a late period of the "Week that the aceonnt , meagre * and ^ horn-down as it "was , appeared ; and ve we were then growing ander a ^ press of matter" We are glad that itiappened bo . * Had we presented onr readers-with tie report that las since gone the round cf ttelSng-2 sh press , no adequate Sea of ibB nature , and extent , and enthrjnjflam of this moat extraordinary Gathxkikg could , have been formed . Prom the We ^ dp Fresmafi Journal ire could get a much more satisfactory notice ; snd've are glad that the delay has enabled nsio do so : for oT all things it is important that the peeple of England should rightlj understand tho extent , and nature , snd scope ot the Irish Movement .
The Jomsal describes the procession of Mr . O ^ Connell from Ms own honre in Herrion-Bgn&re , Dublin , towards the place . of "~ meeting—Tara-HUL He describes the enthusiasm ol the people throughout the ¦ Whole liDe of their journey ; * nd states that atJBaJpbu about a jnile sud a ialf from tie Mil , the liberator-was met by the men of Kdls , and Trim , ' and TSzYXOi irUh their isspectlTe bauds , playing airs of triumph . The TrlnTband , one of the finest in Ireland , " was dressed is an extremely beantifol uniform of white , faced "witli briHisiit green ; and the bond from "K "« ii » Was eonspicnons in a ' large caravan , constracted for the purpose , ¦ with flags at the four comers , and a large ¦ white flag in the centre , having the words " Ireland for the Irish . " A large a-d very beautiful green banner , pierced ¦ with a crimson border , and a device execnte-1 in the eantre , -was borne behind this band , and the Very Bt > v . I ) i JJ-Evoy . the patriotic parish priest
of Kells , -who-was himself tha bearer of a flag at one of the corners of the ¦ vast "vehicle in -which his band was carried , cheered "the liberator enthusiastically as he passed . The standard borne by the Xavan band had &e following jcdkaons inscriptions , namely : — " Ireland wbIstb thee , and glory in struggling lor thy-cause ; ° and Obedience to the laws is the pivot npon which % n tot actions tarn . * Atrthia point the scene became infinitely more animated t-r "" at xcy preceding one during the procession . As the liberator ' s carriage passed , each of- ibinSjftSs itrnck , op" Behold thecohquerirjg Hero comes , *^ but in a moment the music was dtnrwzted in tbe still inarm » onl-Btirring thunders of the mul&tnde . In passing by the demesne of Mr . Lynch , o ! Ramave , the Liberator was greeted by a great number of most respectable persons , who occupied private phaetons , and among whom T 7 E » several elegant and fcafcionaVly jfrt ^ tnft-ij . ftip ^ .-
The scene iad been already sufficiently interesting and animated , bnt the moment sow arrived -ffhea it became incomparably-more so . A turn in the road disclosed to-new the aide" of the HOI of Tara , with countless th&nsacds spread over , and the leng rosd lead ing to it filled with -one ileus © tores of human beings , As tie carriage of the Liberator reached this spot a ihont was raised that rent the air for miles ; and the shout passed along the line until it leacned fibe Mil "where all " femora of the Kings / ' toot np the echo , and re turned-it back frith a long , hoarse murmur , fikB "the sound of many inters . * Mi . O'Connell rose in his seat , prefonndly affected , and there were iew TPho beheld the scene al that moment that did not feel deep emotion . The old Harper touched the chords of bis harp , but the sounds died mpon the strings themselves , ssd the drums and horns of the numerojj bands were dumb ; the -voice of half a million shonting welcome to their Liberator , and Hurrah ! for Ireland , could alone be heard .
Bor sJoncns irere the sounds that nrote the long sJlent echoes of * 'Temora of lie Kirjga . " The mime of Ireland was once more heard irrtbe ruins of the Ball of Tara , and among the desert remains of the House of Comae The melodies of the olden time resounded zweetiy from RVh-na-Soigfa , and from the Tea-mnr , and from Bath-Laoghaire , and from the Dnmha-na-Ttgisll , and from Rath-xia-Sesnaaoh . The Lia FaQ , or H&one of Destiny , -was there ; not on the mcend of the Hes&sres , vhereit osce stood , but over the " Croppies ' Giare ; " * and although it did sot emit its mysterious Ihnnders as of old , the thunders of Ireland's myriads ¦ were heard around it , Jrom the monnds of the Gathair-Cn > Snn , They , "were , indeed , thrilling sounds to hear . Twas a cold heart they would not more > The tear glistened la the eye of tbe . stranger vhin be Jooitd on that scene and thought of our history ; and many a heart was too full to restrain the big drop which joy , and grief , and hope , and sympathy , made to trickle 'down the cheek .
In the history of Ireland , and in , perhaps , that of Europe , there Is no record of aineeting like that which ¦ was ¦ witnessed on Tuesday ob Tara ' s HilL Whether Tre estimate its importance from its numbera or from the associations connected -with the scene in -which it "Was held ; we £ nd it equally unprecedented . There was a prestige aboil the spot which would have rendered it a more important and a more Interesting demonstration H ** t » asy of fhti other *~ moTisl £ r meetings ' * which Ireland has jet witnessed in the cause of her legislative independence , "were it even less in numbers than any of them , hut in numbers , too , it has far exceeded them , i - The platform , -which was raised at a short distance bom the onter eselosnis of the Kath-ua-Siodh , waa calculated to be capable of containing more thnn a thousand persons , and ¦ within a few paces of It was con 3 trncted a smaller one , which was deroted excbosrvely to the ladies , and presented during the meeting a briliiant galaxy of ferrmift beanty .
At nine o ^ clock a teniporary altar was erected near filB summit or the hill , and the Her . Francis Fdnn , P-P . of NaTan , oS = red the holy sacrifice of the mass , which was attended by a congregation of temperate and faithful ^ BcpiB , amounting to hundreds -of thousands . The occasion "was ene of most a-wful solemnity . Tixe placethe spot where the jatren saint of Ireland fiist preached the gespel of sal-ration before the assembled princes of the land , and ¦ where the Idols of paganism crumbled before theblaZ 3 of eternal truth that burst from the ¦ uplifted cross . There , -on the same hill , no longer in the gorgeous palace , in the warrior ' s camp , er in" the chieftain ' s tent , bat on the desert ruins of them ail , and l * Death the blue canopy © f iesrea—then and there it was that the humble minister offered up an oblation for the people—there , on the wreck of former grandeur , and amid ths memorials ef past glories , did the people l > end before the throne of mercy as the first duty of a day to lie devoted to the regeneration of their native
land . At talf-past sine the Her . Hr . M'llroy , CC Navan , again « eUbrated mass , and after him ihe Her . Mr Coghlan , of CoHinstown , celebrated its Divine mysteries , and having addressed the countless multitude at some length , on the importance of temperance , and its value as a moral asastsnes to their spiritual advisErs , and as sa aid to their political leader , lie called nn them to kneel and offer np a prayer to the Mercy Seat for the prolongation of the life of him -who—the promnlgator of the doctrine of moral revolution—was leading them on to a iloodless and stainless Tictory . The address tras cf the most impressive . character , and was followed hj sb . extempore prayer in which the people audibly joined , and , with spEfted hands , implored a blessing on their leader , and freedom for their country .

Amidst the other interestingf eatures of the day there is one which -we cannot omit to mention here . The 3 > roghe * £ i trades' preceded t > y -tteir oand , and bearirg one and twenty basners , arrived on the bill abont twelve o ' cloci , and imHaedisteiy proceeded to the centre of Sath-Na-Biodh , and planted their colours in a circle around the Lia Jotf , * which stands over the graves of trm TJnited Irishmen -who fell at Tan in 17 S 8- -. Dniing their inarch to the Tath they vere joined by the Kells and two other bands ; and , having formed the circle of tanners , the lour banfiB-which -were placed in the centre oJ She ring stracfc up *• God save tht < ia&fcn , " acd then jilayed "Patnct ' s 3 Day , * " -sr"hicb -was ag&iB snd again xapturously Encored by ihe innumerable crowds that were congregated srousd the interesting spot . The Effect of the circle of banners , as seen from the distance to crown the summit of tbemeund , wa 8 most picturesque , and could be equalled * nly in ibe emotions it was calculated toprpfince Tsy a knowledge of the ciicnmstances under which it -was formed .
In general the hands on entericg the field proceeded to this melancholy monument , and with solemn dirges ypJnrWi the memory ef the dead . On one occasion , Shirty "WcxfBrd men knelt arouna the Stone of Itestiny , snd with uplifted hands offered a prayer to Heaven for their massacred fathers and hrothErs -Rhose remains reposedbentath . Theefcetts'ssirresistible ; and , with ¦ uncovered heads and bended knees on the green swarth , thirty tnomsBd men followed ike pious example . Tne moment was soltmn in the extreme , as the incecse of
prayer thus ascended to Heaven for the lamented dead ; snd to add to Ihe profound interest of the occasion a hand en lie summit of the mound plsyed in cxstllei-t style the funeral d » se or Dead March in Ssal . It may iere be mentioned , to the credit o ? the brave men of "Wexford , that on the fatal 25 th of May , 1798 , when * fisosganis 3 llon and treachtry , and , above all , intoxica&m , caused the insurgent army en . Tara Hill to be * lsagctered by theToyalist troops , Imt few of tie TVtx-^ d men -sho fought is the Irish ranks survived the % ht to letnm home .
On the evecing before the meeting several incidents occurred which called np recollections of the nnbappy scenes of thst day . One old man , l > endin £ with age , * as seen -s-etping over the *• Croppies' Grave ; and being jated -what ailed him be answered , "Enough * 2 » me , 6 od htlp me ] Thorei four of my brothers , sad two cf my uncles , and five of my conains , lying -saSer Obm sod I I was -wouaded vyself the same day , - « Bd lay among tba de * £ ; sad it 'was as well for me , »» yDe , ifmy poor boaesreitedsloBirTrith the rest of

The proposition was passed -with acolamationj ana the chair was taken by
THE LIBERATOR . ^ Mr . OCotnell proceeded to address the meeting , and ¦ was received with load cheers . When the cheering had subsided , he said—It would be the extreme of affectation in me to suggest , that I ha ^ e not so ma claims to be fiie leader of this majestic meeting— [ cheers ) . It would be worse than affectation—it would be drivelling folly , if I were not to feel the awful responsibility that the part rhave taken in this majesticmovement jtmposes upon me—( hear ) . I feel responsibility to my ( country —responsibility to my Creator—{ bear ) . Yes , I feel the tremnlous nature of that responsibility—Ireland is aroused , ia aroused from one end to the other . Her multitndinous population have bnt one expression , and one -wish , snd that is the extinction of the Union , the restoration of her nationality —( cheenQ . : A Tolce—There will be no compromise . /
Mr . O Connell—Who is that that talks of compromise ( cheers ) ? I am not here for the purpose of making anything like a schoolboy ' s attempt at declamatory eloquence ; I am not here to revive in your recollection any of those poetic imaginings respecting the spot on which ¦ we stand—; hear , hear )—and which have really become ss household words ; I am sot here to exaggerate the Mstorial importance of the spot on -which -we are congregated—bat it is impossible to deny that Tara has historical recollections thst give to it an importance , relatively , to other portions of the land , and deserves to be so considered by every person who comes to it for political purposes—{ bear }—aad gives it an elevation and point of impression in the public mind that no other part ef Ireland can possibly have . History may be
tarnished by exaggeration , but the fact is undoubted that we are at Tara of ihe KiBgs—( chbers ^ . W « arje on ihe spot where the mouarchs of Ireland were erected , and where the Chieft&ns of Ireland bound themselves by the sacred pledge of honour and the tie of religion to stand by their native land against the Panes , or any other stranger—( cheers ) . This is emphatically the spot from which it emanated the social power—the legal authority—the right to dominion over the ] furthest extremes of the island , and the power of concentrating tho force of the entire natron for the purpose of national defence—icheer ?) . On this important spot I have an important duty to perform—I cere protest in the face of my country , in the face of my Creator—in the face of Ireland axd out God , I protest against the
continna ce of the unfounded and unjust Union—( cheers ) . My proposition to Ireland is that the Union is sot binding upon us ; it is not binding , I mean , upon conscience—it is void in principle—it is void as matter of right—and it is void in constitutional law—( hear , hear ) . I protest by everything that is sacred , —without being profane to the truth of my assertion—( bear . )—there is really bo onion between the countries —( hear . ) I dent speak now of those details that should make the Union a mockery ; but there is , I repeat it , no real Union between the countries —( bear ) , ily preposition is that there v * as ne authority vested in any ptraon to pass the Act of Union . I deny the authority of the Act . The English Legislators fr « fi no such competency —that must be admitted by every person . The Irish
Legislature had no such competency ; snd I arraign the Union , thtrtfore , on the ground of the incompetency of the bodies that passsed it—( hear ) . No authority could render it binding bui the authority of , the Irish people , consulted individually through the i counties , cities , towns , and villages ; and if the people of Ireland called for the Uiaon , then it was binding on them , but there was no other authority that could make it binding—( hear , bear ) . The Irish Parliament had no such authority ; they were elected to make laws and not legiB . alures , and it had no right to the authority which alone belonged to the people of Ireland . The trustee might ss well usurp the right of tbe person who trusts him ; the servant Bright as well usurp the powers of tbe master . The Irish Parliament "wereeJected
as our trustees—we were their masters—they were but onr servants , and they had no right to transfer us to any other power on the face of the earth—thear , hear ) . When J proclaim the Union to bo a nullity . I have tbe words of Saurin , who declared , in spsaking of the Union—¦ " It will be obeyed as a law as long as yon have a sufficient force to keep it so , but no longer ; " and I now tell you to continue your peaceful , bnt steady , opposition to that Union , until your loyalty and fidelity are rewarded hy the calling together of our native Parliament by our beloved Sovereign . Three cheers for her . ( Here the immense multitude cheered for several minutes . ) We trill break no law . See bow we have accumulated the people of Ireland for this Repeal year . When , on the 2 nd of January , I venlnred to call it
the Repeal year , every person laughed at me . Are they laughing now ? It is our turn to laugh at present . Before twelve montrm more the Parliament will be in College Green—{ cheer ?) . I said the Union did not take away from the people of Ireland their legal rights . I told yon that the Union did not deprive the people of that right , or take away the authority to have aelflfc ^ islation . It has not lessened tbe prerogatives of the crown , or taken away the rights of the sovereign , and amongst them is the z ) ght to call her Parliament wherever the people are entitled to it , and the people of Ireland are entitled to have it in Ireland . And the Queen has only to-m ^ row to i £ 3 ne her -writs and getjtbo Chancellor to seal them , and if Sir Edward Sngden does not sign them , she will soon get an Irishman that will , to revive the Irish Parliament The towns which sold their birthright have no right to be reckoned amongst
title towns sending members to Parliament . 3 £ ing James the First , in one day , created forty boroughs in Ireland , and the Queen has the same right as her predecessor to do so— ( hear , hear ) . We have a list of the towns to return members ( tbe counties , as & matter of course , will return them ) according to their population , and the Queen has only to order writs to issue , and to have honest ministero to advise her to issue those writs , and the Irtish Parliament is revived by its own energy , and the force of the Sovereign > prerogative— liear ) . I will only require the Queen to exercise her prerogative , and the Irish people will obtain their nationality again—( cheers ) . If , at tbepresent moment , the Irish Parliament was in existence , even as it were in I 860 , is there a coward amongst yon—is tbire a wretch amongst yon so despicable that would sot die rather than allow the Union to pass ? A Toice ^—Yes , to the last man—( cheers ) .
Mr . O'Connell—Let every man who , if ire had an Irish Parliament , -would rather die than allow the Union to pass , lift op his hands . ( The immense multitude lifted np their hands . ) Yes , the Queen will call that Parliament ; you may say it is tbe { tct of her ministry , if you please . To be sure it would be the act of her ministry , and the people of IrelaBd are entitled to have their fritn&s appointed to the ministry—( bear , hear , and cheeis ) . Tee Irish Parliament Trill thin assemble , and I defy all the generals , old and young , and all the old women in pantaloons—^ laughter ) . Nay , I defy all tbe chivalry of the earth to jlake away that Parliament from us again —{ cries of never ) . Well , my friends , may I ask yon to obay me—( cries of we will )—in the course of conduct 1 point ont to you ,
when I dismiss you today ; when you have heard tbe resolutions pBt , I am sure you will ge home with the sarot tranquillity yon came here—( yes ) . Every man of yen { erery man of ns , ) and if 1 -wanted you again , would you not come again to Tara Hill for me—( cheers ) ? Remember me , 1 lead yen into np peril . If danger existed , it would arise from some person who would attack -us , for we ¦ willstt&ck nobody jand it that danger exists , yon trill not find me in tbe ; rear rank . The Queen will be abl 8 to restore our Parliament to us . Tne absentee drains , ¦ which caused tbe impoverishment of tbe country , will be at an end ; the wholesale ejectment of tenasts , and turning them out on tbe bighws ;; tbe murdering cf tenants by tbe landlords i-hall ba at an end—tiond cheers ) . The rights
of the landlords -still db re * pected , but their duties shall be enforced ; an eqitable tenure will take the place of the cruel tyranny of the present code of laws , and the protection of the occupying tenants of Ireland be insribed on lfce banner of Repeal—( . cheers ) . Carry home vrith you , my advice—let there be peace ; and quiet , law and order , and let every one of you enrol yourselves Repealers—feres of We will" )—men , women , and children ( yes , men , women , and children ) . Give me three millions of Repealers , snd I win soon have them —( cheers ) . The ntxt step is being taken , and 1 announce to you from this spot , that all the magistrates that hare been deprived of tbe commission of the peace ,
shall be appointed by the association to settle all the disputes axd differences in their neighbourhood—( bear ) . Keep out of the petty sessions court , and go sot to them ob ilocday next . We "will Bubmit a plan to choose persons to be arbitrators to settle the differences of the people without expence , and I call upon-every man that wishes to bs thought the friend of Ireland ; to have bis disputes settled by the arbitrators , snd not again go to the petty sessions . We shall shortly have " the preservative society to arrange the means of procuring from her Msjesty the exercise cf her prerogative , and I btlieve I am able to announce to you that twelve months cannot possibly elapse without having a hurrah for our parliament la College-green .

the reporter . When Mr . O'Connell came I went once more round Tara , and continued for more than an hour counting various groups , measuring the ground they occupied , and by the result applying to other portions of the meeting not counted ^ tried to come to a correct estimate , that there were on and sear the hill upwards of one million , probably not less than twelve hundred thousand people ! I am as fplly coBvinced of this a » that there was a multitude ttere at all . Taking into account the hundreds of thousands on the roads , who never reached Tan , there were above one million and a half of ' ' " "
people ouS on that day , for the special purpose of being at the meeting . In my account to the Morning Chronicle I have stated my opinion of tbe numbers ; and I have said , what I may hek repeat , that the meeting on Tura was to me , as it must have oeen to every one whose souls were not senseless and dead to feeling , tha most aw / aUy grand and solemn scene that the human eye ever witnessed . It was a scene to make Irishmen proud , though they mightgrieve for the causes thai brought them together . It was a scene to make strangers regret that they were not Irishmen .

From the 1 st January , 1830 , to the Ibe January , 1 S 43 , there have been born in France 9 G 7 . 386 children , of whom 69 , 417 were illegitimate , being in the propertion of 1 bastard to 12 legitimate children . In Paris the proportion was nearly as 2 to 3 . Daring the same period there were . 805 . 950 deaths and 219 , 167 marriages . The relative numbers of boys and girls born was 16 girlB to 17 boys . A <» reat number of the Irish labourers who have now come into this country harvesting , are far better
clad than they used to bs . This is attributable to the temperance cause—the unceasing labours of Father Mathew . The money which used to be spent in whiskey is now laid out in clothes . Singular Fact . —For four successive years a bee ' s nest has been built in a lock of a yard gate in the town gaol .

An Istktjdee , —On Thursday week , at a place in tbe parish of Wrington , a bullock , which was beieg driven along tbe road , got into an enclosure in which were some very low-roofed cottages . To avoid his pursuer , tbe creatme scrambled upon the roof of one of them , and the frail tenement yielding to its weight , the poor bnlly made one amongst the family circle assembled within . It is hard to Bay which party was the most frightened . It appears that the most serious losses hare been sustained by the heldtrs of property in the extensive snd fertile put : of the country comprised within tbe Bedford level , and particularly within the neighbourhood of Wisbeach and Peterborough , by the late
thunderstorm . In the fens alone upwards of 2 , 000 seres of the hay crop , of the value at the least of £ 10 , 000 , have been lately destroyed , and the pasturage for 1 .

Another Socialist" Pariqn , anb worse . —A Mr . Beuham , or a Rev . Mr . Benam , a Dissenting minister , who had refused to support his wife , and who left her likely to become chargeable to the parish of St . George in the East , appeared with Mr . Kooke , the relieving offioer , at 'Lambeth-street , and went into a long statement of his family differences , u eventually turned out , However , that he had a young woman to live with him , and consequently his wife refused to reside in his house . Tho Rev . Gentleman prevaricated exceedingly , and the magistrate refused to hear him farther , leaving him to the mercy of tho parish officers .
At the ] Liverpool Assizes an old woman , whose evidence was required in a bigamy case , refusod to be sworn , j She said she had been a member of the Church of i England , but that she was then " trying to be an Israelite , " which she subsequently explained , by stating ( that she had been converted to the sect of Johanna Southcoto ' s believers . ¦ Mr .

Playing with Edgep Tools .- ^ -A private in the 1 st regiment of Life Guards , named Shields , stationed at Windsor , was within a hair ' s breath of losing his life on Friday last , in consequence of a practical joke being played off upon him by one of his comrades , named Bennett . It appears that Shields laid a trifling wager with Bennett that the latter could not shave him without drawing blood . The operation .
however , having been skilfully performed , Bennett remarked , " Oh I ' ve left a little bit of hair under your chilli and now I'll give you the finishing stroke . " He then , by way of a joke , drew , as he imagined , the back of the razor across the otter ' s throat , when the blood spirted forth iu a stream , to the great terror and alarm of tho operator , Bennett having most clumsily mistaken the blade for tho back of the razor . The wound thus inflicted was nearly three inches in length , and extending to the depth of within the sixteenth of an inch of the windpipe . Several of the arteries were divided , and the effusion of blood was immense . Mr . Campbell , the surgeon of the regiment , who was fortunately immediately in attendance , sewed up the wouad , and the poor fellow , who has thus experienced so providential an escape , is now in jthe hospital , and out of danger . It will be some weeks before he will bo fit to resume his military ' duties .
Dreadful and Fatal Railway Accident . — On Sunday afternoon a man , named William Deacon , aged twdnty-five years , expired in Guy ' s Hospital from the [ effects of the dreadful injuries he had received under the following circumstances . It appears that on the previous afternoon , about half-past four o ' clock , the unfortunate . man was at work on the joint 1 lines of the Greenwich , Dover , Groyden , and Brighton Railways , situate near the Neckingor Spa road ; Bermondsey , when ; the usaal signal was given of an approaching down train , in order that those at work should timely got out of the way . The deceased jupon hearing it moved from off the line , but ia what was termed a sluggish manner , when just at the moment another train towards London approached , and from the slowness of his motions , the latter was close upon him before he could get off the line on whioh it was running , and the step of the
engine struck him , and he was knocked down . The engineer , ' upon Beting the occurrence , stopped the engine as speedily as possible and returned to his assistance , when it was found that bis body had been nearly severed in two , and that his bowels were protruding upon the ground . He was placed in one of tho railway carriages and conveyed to the terminus at London-bridge , and from thence to the above hospital . Mr . Aston Kay , Mr . C ock , and Mr . Thompson , the ' surgeons , were promptly in attendance on the unfortunate man ; and on examination it was found that the hipbone had been completely . severed , and the abdominal viscera nearly torn out . Every attention : was paid to him that surgical skill could devise , but the injuries were of such a nature as to preclude ! all hope of his surviving beyond a tew hours , and he lingered in the greatest agony until death put a period to his sufferings .
Dreadful Death of Mr . Aymer , the celebrated 'American Vacltkr .- —This unfortunate man , whoso recent performance at the English Opera , under the management of Van Amburgh , excited bo much admiration in his peculiar department , mat his death on Thursday night at the Circus of Mr . Batty , proprietor of the Royal Amphitheatre , who has" several various establishments in various parts off the kingdom , and one in the Island of Jersey , where the late performer was fulfilling his engagement . The particular performance for whioh
Mr . Aymor was announced concluded with a couble summerset , a feat considered almost ( if not quite ) impossible , and in throwing it the ill-fated artist , instead of alighting on his feet , fell on his neck , and death was the immediate result . Mr . Batty , on hearing ! the fatal intelligence immediately quitted London f or Jersey , to render every assistance that his liberality can effect on the melancholy occasion . Smith , algreat trampoline and vaulter , met his death in a manner precisely similar during the management of Messrs . Duorow and West , at Astley ' s , some seasons back .
Fatal - Accidens —On Saturday night , between nine and ten o ' clock , another experiment with Robinson'B night signal for shipping , was made from a ekiff on the river off the St . Katherine ' a-dook , whioh , we regret to state , was attended with the loss of one life , and ! several others had a most miraculous escape . It appears that during the experimental trials , some of the combustible materials of which the signal is made , and whioh were lying in the skiff , accidentally got ignited , and instantly the skiff was in a blaze . The parties in it , to save themselves from the flames , leaped overboard into the water , and were , ( with one exception , that of a young lad , living at the west end of the metropolis , but whoso name we have Bot be able to ascertain ) with great difficulty saved from drowning . The skiff , which belonged to a waterman named M'Niel , was almost wholly d » stroyed . The body of the lad who perished has not yet been found . . '
Thb Blood . —To a person who has at all studied the organization of the human system , the circulation of the blood will necessarily appear one of its most interesting and essential principles . When we reflect , for an instant , on the astonishing manner in which this crimson current shoots from the main spring Of the heart ; when we consider it coursing rapidly through its various channels , and branching out intoja thousand different directions and complicated windings , for the nourishment of the frame ; we cannot avoid being moved by an involuntary thrill of astonishment : — " And we exclaim , while we survey the plan ,- — How wonderful this principlo in man . "
What the sap is to the tree , the blood is to the animal frame ; iand inasmuch as ihe strength and verdure of a tree are dependant upon the moisture derived from the root , the health and vigour of the body are indispens-ibly connected with a pure aud free circulation of this important fluid . It is this , that , must feed th 9 flame of existence ; and unless its replenishments are freely and purely communicated , the vital fire becomes clouded , —bums dimly—and ultimately is extinguished . In this light , and in this light alone , did thejvenerable l'arr , ( thefmessenger of health and longevity , ) regard the important offioe of this essential fluid ; and this , as a consequence led him to attend in an especial degree to the best means for its constant freedom and purity ; Nature , it is said , has furnished a remedy for every ill ; and certainly , in
tbe useful researches of Old Parr , this sentiment is Btrikingl j borne out . By a close , careful , and asnidnous investigation of the properties of certain herbal productions , this long-lived and celebrated man , discovered that which would answer every purpose of purity and activity in the blood ; and , as a natural consequence , every purpose of a healthful , and prolonged ! existence . Had the life of Parr extended only toithe ordinary limits of mankind , then , indeed , there might have been some reason for questioning the pretended virtues of his medicine ; but when we find that the days of this self practitioner were such as to call forth mention in historical records , what are weia 9 reasonablebeings ' , to do but acquiesce in the belief of the essential and infaUiable benefit derivable from that invaluable discovery * now so well known as Parr ' s Life Pills .

Mr . Higgins . jon the part of Mr . Brew , declined lo call any wifnesses , conceiving the inquiry

His mother set up for him the plea of insanity . He is supposed to have married seven or eight women , ia only twenty one , and is most repulsive in personal appearance .
Providential Escape . —On Wednesday week , a miraculous escape from almost certain death occurred in New George-street . A child , three or four years old , was playing in a passage , and run out into the middle of the street at the very moment that a cart , laden very heavily with stonts , was passing ; unconsciously , as it seemed , the chili ran under the shaftB of the cari—between the hind legs of the horse and the cart-wheels . The mother , who was at the end of the passage—terrified at the danger which threatened her offspring , and , regardless of self , sprang into the streei , and , to snatch away the child , placed herself in [ the same dangerous position . Another second , and mother and child must have inevitably been crushed under the wheels ; fortunately , the horso was a steady one , and the driver
succeeeded in stopping'it on tho instant , and both parent and offspring were saved . —// utf Pa-per . Thb late Suicide at Bristol . —Further Particulars . —Mr . Ueynes was 74 years of age ; and bad been watched about his dwelling by tne family for the last month or so , as it was feared he would destroy himself . He was in the habit of occupying his timo by ivory turning ; and so determined does he appear to have been to commit the act , that he drove a 3 J guage , very rusty , into the pit of his stomach , with a real let , about an inch and a half , and afterwards a smaller one about four inches ; snd tben thrust in at ihe second placa a dart that had tcoth cut on two sides of it , for a float . This he passed into his heart , j Two of the inmates arrived juat as the deed was done , and the dart had fallen out on to the floor . The deceased was then sat
down , resting against his latho in the workshop . Shocking Accidents . —A very shocking accident took pldco on Friday last , at Bracy Bridge Mill , Lowthorpe , near Driffiold . On tho forenoon of that day a person was engaged killing rats in the mill , and a dog had killed ] a considerable number in a coraer under the arch of tho stream turning the water-wheel whioh partly revolved in the interior of the mill in an uncovered state . One of the millers , at work in the mill , called to another to go and see what devastation tbe dogs was making amongst the rats , and in his anxiety to look down the opening in which tbe wheel revolved , he became entangled with the wheel , and was dragged through the opening . His limbs were [ torn from his body , his head
was completely severed , and the trunk embowelled and shockingly mutilated . Of course he was quite lifeless when taken out of the pit . In the scramble cf the moment , the other man was also caught by the paddles of the wheel , and his flesh dreadfully rent and torn from his thigh , so that h : s life was despaired of from the first . The name of the unfortunate man who thus so dreadfully lost his life was Paul Storey , who was highly respected , and has left a window and four children . Theother young man had lately gone ti » his situation , and came from the neighbourhood of Scarbro ' , but his name we donot know . An inquest was held on the body on the
same day , and a verdict of " Accident Death" was returned . It is reported that the other man died on Sunday last . —On tne same day , a youth in the service of Mr . Jewiaon , of Raisthorpe , farmer , was driving a waggon down a hill , near Fimber , when the drag chain brokej and in his attempt to hold the horses , he was thrown down on the road . Tne wheels of the wasgon passed over his leg and thigh and along the whole length of his body , and over his head . His leg and [ thigh were broken , the knee crushed to a mummy ; his collar bone was also broken , and his body and head were dreadfully crushed and lacerated .
