therefore true that in all great essentials of socieiatian advancement , wehave been in fact only pendulatory . or always gettingback to the point from whence tre stated . Lord John Russell , in his reply , ably lombattad this specious and showy sophism . For fifty generations we have been gradually carried onward through successive stages of society , never to return to them . Savageism has given place to feudalism , feudalism to commercialism , and commer-< ialiiin , in ita turn , -will besupplanted by association ,
beyond which , in the distance , we see communism . The power of the one , or the few , over the many las been gradually diminishing , and we have been steadily approaching the realisation of the great feet in social and political morals—the Sovebeigntt -of thb People . It is our creed , and it is a hopeful one , that the day is coming when this fact will be universally recognised and established as the only true and enduring basis for all national institutions , the only guarantee for social happiness and prosperity .

We tell him he must reconsider his statement in answer to Mr . Duscoaibe on the Ten Hours question , 4 he Charter , and the Irish Church , or his stay in office will be short .

THTi ! Wlt » TW TTIK BlJDl ? AT HIUD r \ tnr \* r THE WAR IN THE REPEAL CAMP .-O'CON NELL AND SMITH O'BRIEN . Dublin , Jdlt 27 . The members of tue Repeal Association assembled in Conciliation Ball , at one o ' clock this day . Mr W . S . O'Brien , seconded by Mr . Maher , M P ., moved that the Lord Mayor of Dublin ( Mr . Keabin do take the chair . Mr , John O'Connell , M . P ., and Mr . Daniel , jun ., Mr . Grattan , and several other members , both of the Young and the Old Ireland party , appeared on the oratorical p latform . Mr . Ray read the following letter from Mr . 0 'Con « neU : — London , July 24 . My dear Bay , —I have much to write , bnt little time to write in . The truth is my spirit is sad , and my heart is hearyat the miserable dissensions introduced into the
association , at a period precisely when unanimity was most necessary , and most likely to be usefoL The advocacy of physical force doctrines renders it impossible for those who stand upon the constitution of the association itself to co-operate with those who will not * dberetothatconsUtation . . This is a subject that dees not admit of any speciei of compromise . Thebasis of the association is declaredlj , peaceable exertions alone . The same principle has been repeatedly and repeatedly reiterated , and ha » been latterly re-asserted and confirmed , distinctly and emphatically , by the association . Here we take our stand—peaceable exertions and no other , no compromise , no e gowocation , peaceable exertions and neneothers . let it , howerer , be borne in minS lhat these peaceabU doctrines leave untouched the right of defence against illegal attacks or unconstitutional violence .
These peaceable doctrines , however , involve every other case , except resistance to , and defence against , unconstitutional-violence . It is , unhappily , become the more essential to assert our principles , as the association is sought to be involved in proceedings of a most seditious nature , stated in the Sation newspaper to have been perpetrated in and by the writers for that publication . It would appear that all the traversers in the late indictment are by those writers involred in similar guilt with their own . It must , however , be recollected that while they accuse all they convict only ons , namely , the proprietor of the paper . His accusation , as far as himself is concerned , is conclusive of guilty ; but as to the other traversers , I for one , and I am sure they will all agree with m « - , proclaim the accusation to be totally false , and we iiidienantly and contemptuously reiecttheassertionsofourmaligner .
I wfll not , however , allow the matter to rest here . A » soon as l return to Dublin I will g ive a regular notice of referring the subject to the committee and to report thereon to the association . It is not possible to submit to the charges made against us—charges which are distinctly contradicted fcy our solemnamdavit on the motion for the new trial . 1 believe all the traversersaiiore a similar affidavit . I mean also to publish an address to the people of Ireland on the conduct of the physical force advocates , who continue , in despite of oar solemn resolutions , members of our body . I will be able to point out in detail the infinite mischief which the physical force advocates inflict on the body of the Repealers of Ireland .
To leave this melancholy topic , I am gUd to be able to say , that , without positively knowing the feet , the Repeal question will be left so far an open question as not to excludeHepealers from such promotionin the various professions as their intrinric merits ought to command . How often have we desired to have the Repeal an open question , and every honest and well thinking man will feel grateful to those who will make it so . There is another fact of a pleasing nature—if the rumour respecting it be accurate—I myself believe it to be accurate , though of coarse I cannot state positively . It is this , that the lord Chancellor Brady has determined to reinstate the Eepeal Mas isfaateS ; thai will be giving the people the protection of from sixty to seventy gentlemen , who , as Magistrates , enjoy the public confidence . This is another title to gratitude .
There are various measures in progress for Ireland , among the rest a Tenant Compensation Act , which I bavo reason to believe , is calculated in a great degree to be satisfactory to the Irish tenantry ; but there are many obstacles and difficulties in the way of working out those useful measures leaving after all , fu ll y strengthened , the conviction , that it is an Irish parliament alone that can work out the prosperity of the Irish people , It is an Irish Parliament alone , that can have sufficient knowledge and sufficiently persevering inclination to insure the prosperity and freedom of Old Ireland . No country under Heaven requires so vitally the protection of a domestic Parliament as Ireland does ; and without refusing gratitude for ki ndnessesintended . I reiterate my decided conviction , that we should not relax for one hour our exertions for th § repeal . Hurrah , then , for the Repeal . Believe me to be .
Very truly yours , To M , Ray , Esq . Dajiiei . O'CossELt . Mr . O'Biuks moved that this letter be entered on the minutes , although he said there were some points in it to which he could not accede . lie was sorry to learn that his speech , at a late meeting at Kilrush , had in a few particulars given displeasure to Mr . O'Connell . Now , he would not be answerable for all that the newspaper reports attributed to him ; but as to the sentiments generally attributed to him he certainly adhered to them . He never intended to say anything disrespectful to any member of the O'Connell family , and he did not conceive that he had done so . He did not hesitate to say that he did not concur in all the sentimeats lately expressed in this Hall by
Mr . O'Connell : and he must add , that if a course of conduct aucn as had been lately adopted in this Association wa 9 persevered in , he would withdraw until anothercourse was taken np . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) In thefirstplace , he dissented from the doctrine of passive obedience which had been promulgated . ( Hew , hear . ) He held , on the contrary , the positive right of resistance on the subject . ( Hear , hear . ) It was upon the recognition of such a right her Majesty held her Crown , and it was by such means that liberty had been established ia Amerieaand numerous other countries . ( Hear , hear . ) However , he held that under the present circumstances of Ireland , recourse to physical force would be folly and wickedness . The hop . gentleman then went at great length into a disquisition of the
theories propounded to the public in the -Nation newspaper , and defended them . He concluded on this head bv saying , that if the proprietor or writers of that paper were to be excluded from this association , he also would feel bound to withdraw . He mentioned Mr . Meagiier of Waterford , particularly , as a gentleman who , he thought , next after any member of Mr . O'Connell ' s family or particular friends ) ought to be put forward as a representative of the Irish people . With regard to the Whigs , he repudiated the principle of co-operating or being united with them , as they were certainly not Repealers . He was delighted to hear that all the Repeal magistrates were to be restored . They talked of a new Franchise Bill for Ireland : but it was not given as
vet ; and he thought there was no time for such a purpose as the present . The Whigs talked of a reclamation of the waste lands ; it would be an excellent measure ; but it waa still only in perspective , A time of great distress—of greater than any yet experienced—was probably approaching . The Whigs ought , therefore , to be prompt in taking the necessary precautions against such a contingency . "With regard to the Irish church , he expected nothing from Lord John Russell towards removing that grievance . He had the same to say touching a tax upon the absentees , compensation to tenants , and other matters . Ho must call upon the Repealers , then , to keep themselves independent of every English party . He was going over to England to procure cheap BUgar
for the Jriih people . As the Irish farmer had lost the protection of bis labour . be did not see why it should be any longer retained for the West Indian sugar dealer . Again , he protested against Repealers taking office nnder the Whigs , unless that Repeal wat to be 6 ona fide an open question . In that case he would be glad if Mr . O'Connell had a seat in the Cabinet ; but if office was to silence Repealers on the great subject of Repeal , then he must deprecate the principle of their accepting it . ( Hear , hear . ) He next alluded to the Dungarvan election , and expressed his regret that the borough had not been contested by a Repealer . As to the alleged expense of such a proceeding , he denied that there could be any expence worth speaking of , where the people hear
were patriotic , virtuous and true . ( Hear , . ) He thought that instead of £ 5000 being necessary for such a purpose , £ 500 would be more than could be requisite . In fine , the hop . gentleman expressed his deep sorrow at being obliged to express his dissent from certain proceedings ahieh had lately occurred in the association . He lamented the differences that had grown op amongst them , but lie hoped it was not yet too late to redeem their grand confederacy , and restore their unanimity . Let them one and all proclaim and tell thegovernment that nothing but repeal can satisfy the Irish people . Of the cause itself he would never despair . ( Hear , hear . ) Air . John 0 'Co . nkkll was sorry to entertain decidedly different views from Mr . O'Brien . Herefuted altogether any insinuation that his lather would be influenced by mercenary motives in hisi support of the Whiasor preference for individuals to
, represent their cause in Parliament . For his part , neither be nor his father would support the Whigs on the SHgar question , because they believed it was an encouragement to slavery . Mr . O'Brien , however , was about to support tbem in this instance , much as he was oppesed to the principle of Repealers identifying themselves with them . He next spoke of Mr . Pigot ' s incessant labour at this moment in preparing Bills for the benefit of Ireland , and the advantages already derived to Ireland from the accessien of the Whigs . He defended the policy of repealeN accepting offices under Government when they could obtain them ; at the same time he protested that for himself he would take nothing from them . ( Hear , hear . ) He next adverted to the Dunp , arvan and Dundalk elections , and defended the course which had been taken with regard to both by the Repeal Association .
( From the Times ?) After Ihad despatched my report in time to catth the early mail yesterday , the proceedings , aa might

1 . . ^ .. ; -,. »'• ...- . ... . bare heen anticipated by the tone of the speeches delivered by tho respective leaders of the two antagonist parties in the association , were of a short , sharp , and decisive ^ character . There were no visible symptoms of an intention by either Mr . Smith O'Brien or Mr . John O'Connell to descend from the position which each had assumed : the former persisting to the last in his intention of standing or falling by Young Ireland and the Nation ; the latter , backed by a vast majority on the " committee , " announcing his resolve to push the matter to a crisis , and with this end in view the meeting was adjourned
to this day , when it is expected that the arguments in favour of physical force ( under certain circumstances ) versus moral force will be brought to a conclusion ; and on the issue depends the continuance of Mr . O ' Brien as a member of the repeal confederacy . In the mean time , and in order to render intelligible the occurrences of to-day , it will be necessary to give a brief r&unie of what took place up to tho adjournment yesterday evening . After Mr . John O'Connell had concluded his speech in reply to Mr . Smith 'Brien , ___ ...
Mr . Grattan , M . P ., and Mr . J . Reilly , town councillor , rose together to address the meeting , but the former gave place to the latter . Mr . Reilly , after apologizing for taking precedence of Mr . Grattan , said he would not have done so if it were not on account of personal allusions having been made to himself . ( Hisses and groans . ) The Lord Mayor . —I trust that the first person who hisses will be pointed out to me , and I will exercise my authority as a magistrate , and have him turned out . ( "Hear , " and cheers . )
Mr . Reilly then proceeded , amid considerable uproar , to refer to Mr . Smith O'Brien ' s Kilrush oration , remarking that when he ( Mr . O'Brien ) stated that Mr . O'Connell and his family had separate interests with the people of Ireland , which was a meaning which might be drawn from the speech alleged to have been made by him—Mr . O'Brien thought Mr . Reilly misunderstood him . What he said was , that he was qnite unable to say what were the exact words he used , but he did say that he did not intend to use any expressions disparaging to Mr . O'Connell or his family ; and that if his expressions gave offence to any human being , he would retract them at om-e . ( Cheers . )
Mr . Reilly then proceeded [ to resume his remarks , when he was interrupted with loud cries of "drop it , " and ' enough , enough . " Those who interrupted him ostensibly came there to cheer the Young Ireland party . ( Hisses . ) Although they think they are helping them , they are really injuring them bv their conduct . ( Great uproar . ) The Young Ireland party were , in his opinion , doing an immensity to sap the confidence of the people of Ireland . ( Hear , hear . ) They sneered and gibed at Mr . O'Connell , and held up to the ridicule of the people . If thev only thought for a moment , they would find that their conduct was not sincere , and they would no longer pursue it . ( " Hear , hear , " and cheers . )
Mr . O'Brien explained . —He did not mean to in sinuate that Mr . O ' Connell was looking for place * for his family ; but the tendency of a paragraph in his letter would be extremely mischievous to the repeal cause ; and if the Repealers af-IreJand were to look to the Whigs for place , the probability was , that they would run the risk of becoming . Whigs . Mr . J . O'Connell said that what he meant was , that the hon . gentleman might be misundwstood as making certain insinuations ; and as to the paragraph in the letter of his father , which referred to the fact that a man ' s being a Repealer was no reason why he should be deprived of office , did the hon . gentleman mean to recemmend tha Ebrington prohibition of Repealers ?
Mr . Patrick Costelloe appeared at the back of the platform , and showed an intention to address the meeting . " ' ¦ ' , - A- Voice on the platform—Is this man a member ? Mr Costelloe . —I state I am not a member . ( Cries of "Put him out . " ) TheLord Mayor . —If Mr . Castelloeis notameinber , no man inside or outside this hall hasdone more for Ireland than he has . ' Mr . Castelloe . —I was just going to say-Mr . J . O'Connell . —I rise to order . I regret having to oppose this , but there is a strict rule against any one speaking here who is not e . member , and at this time in particular it would be bad to break through our rules . I should feel regret at being obliged to enforce the rule against any pen on opposed to me in sentiment , and I had rather do so even now when 1 address myself to an active and zealous friend of Ireland .
Mr . O'Brien . —If any intervention of mine can prevail , I would petition the meeting to allow the rule to be infringed in this instance . ( Hear . ) Mr . Costelloe . —Mr . O'Brien has interposed for me , aiid I have only two words . ( Great confusion . ) M . J . O'Connell . —I cannot suffer you to proceed . Mr . Ray then said that he was about to read a Jetter of Mr . C . G . Duffy , which had already been inserted in theNation . and which the committee had allowed to be read on that day , when Mr . J- O'Connell rose , and said that lie had asked Mr . O'Brien ' s opinion , and he thought it better to adjourn the meeting until the following day . There were several gentlemen present anxious to record their opinions at that important crisis . Men ' s mindB , too , were naturally heated by the argument , and he thought it better to adjourn .
Mr . O'Brien thought it better to adjourn until the following day . The question next for consideration was nearly the same as that which they bad disouggei that day . It was better that there should be a final conclusion of those painful dissensions . It there were to be but the alternative that one or other party should withdraw , he must say In limino-for he would not send in his formal resignation until he were expelled—that so far from allowing Mr . O'Connell or Ms son to withdraw , he would feel it his duty to abstain from further attendance . He would look on , and in his place in Parliament , and by speaking and writing he would advocate the repeal ; but he would not go to that hall to create dissensions . He would now move that the meeting should adjourn uniil 12 o ' clock next day . He then expressed a hope
that by the following day the past would be forgotten , and that all parties should be at liberty to maintain their respective opinions . Mr . J . O'Connell stated his intention of performing a melanchely duty on the morrow , when it should be finally determined whether they could or could not -work together on the basis laid down by his father . Mr . Steele expressed his determination , if the rules to which he had pledged himself , framed by Mr . O'Connell , were not carried out to-morrow , he would quit the association immediately . The rent for the week was then announced as £ 109 . 4 s . 8 d . ( Cheers . ) Mr Costelloe then attempted to say a word , but was prevented by Mr . J . O'Connell .
On the motion of Mr . S . O'Brien , Mr . D . O'Connell . jun ., was called to the ehair , and a vote of thanks passed to the Lord Mayor . Mr . Costelloe ( leaving the hall . )—I must start out of town now , I am so tired of listening to all this nonsense . The association then adjourned until 12 o ' clock nextday . Tuesday , July 28 ' The weekly meeting was resumed to day at one o'clock for tho purpose of enabling tho members of the two conflicting repeal parties " the Old and loung Irelanders , " to discuss the question of physical force , and to see , if possible , "if there vras any real difference existing amongst tbem . " The hall was
crowded at an early hour , although particular pains were taken to exclude all who were not members . Every person entering the building was obliged to produce his card or' enrolment , and loose who were indisputably members , and who forget them , were kept * out ; even the ordinary admission key of Is . would not effect an entrance . At the hour . above mentioned Mesuw . J . O'Connell , M . P .. W . Smith O'Brien , M . P .. J . A . O'Neile . Mitchell , Meagher , C . Gavin Duffy ( Nation ) , Smith , D . O'Connell , jun ., and Captain Broderick , entered the meeting and were loudly cheered . I On the motion of Mr . O'Connell , seconded by Mr . Steele , the chair was taken by the Right Hon . the Lord Mayor .
His Lordship , after Inking his seat , said he would not occupy the time of the meeting , aa it was merely an adjournment from the previous day ; and he hoped that every gentleman would be heard fairly , and meet with no interruption . ( Cheers , ) Mr . Maguire . a repeal warden , here addressed the chair , and complained that there was a person near him , a Deetor Cannon , endeavouring to foment disorder in the meeting ; and as he was not a member , he wished to have him made to conduct himself or put out . ( Cheers , and great confusion . )
The Lord Mayor—Where is he ? Put bim out . ( Lord cheers , and disorder . ) Captain Brodriek—I rise to order . No gentleman , not a member of the association , has any business here . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Meagher—I claim for Dr . Cannon the privilege extended to Mr . Costolloe yesterday ; he was not a member , and he was allowed to remain . ( Cheers . ) Dr . Cannon is not making any disturbance . ( Loud cheers . ) A Voice—He is ; he is a Young Irejander . Put him out . ( Cheers , and cries of " Put him out , " ami "Don't stir him . " ) Captain Brodriek—I will object to any one addressing the chair who is not a member . Mr .
Costelloe was nota member , and was not allowed tospeak . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Meagher—Dr . Cannon don't want to speak . ( Cheers . ) Mr . O'Brien—I fully agree with Captain Brodriek , and I even go so far as to say , that I think that any gentleman , not a member , should not exhibit either app lause or dissent . ( Hear , hear . ) The matter then dropped , and Mr . Ray proceeded to read the minutes of the meeting on the previous day , and then read the letter from Mr . C . Gavin Duffy , of the Nation newipaper , alluded to at Qio conclusion of the meeting yesterday . The letter oceupied nearly three columns of the Nation , and w /^ g taken by the Old Ireland party to accuse the tr . aversers , in the late state prosecutions , as adv 0 c 4 r . es of physical

( " Hear , " and ckeers . ) Had he ( Mr . J . O'Connelh
a chance of prevailing with him , he would hare reasoned with him privately , but he had not ; be knew that others had warned and besought him , and now found themselves compelled , by the irresistible claims of duty t » country , to speak out in bold terms tneir utter repudiation of the doctvines he professed , ( hear , hear , ) and their disapprobation of the conduct he had lately pursued . ( " Hear , " and Cheers . ) He did not object to the letter of a person not a member 01 . the association being read there as a part of i ' J ? usine 88 « as it would be against the rules 0 )' their body , ( hear , hear , ) but in matters where personal grievance was felt , he did not think he would be generous if he resisted the reading of that letter , ( cheers , ) but this much he felt called on to resist
, and that was to the letter being placed on their minutes . He trusted the motion , however , would not be made . ( Hear , hear . ) He now arrived at the letter itself , to the first part of which he had nothing to say ; the rest of it he would be obliged to speak upon at length . ( Henr . hear . ) He would take it paragraph by paragraph . With regard to the first paragraph , he denied utterly " that Ireland sprang into an attitude of defiance and resistance in the year 1843 . " Ske did not spring into an attitude of defiance . She rose calmly and determinedly , with the united voices of the people—and not nnited violence—to remonstrate with England , and to show how unanimous they were on the question of repeal .
( Cheers . ) Now what did Mr . Duffy mean by this phrase— " England , France and America , to them these monster meetings had a meaning beyond the vulgar gatherings of faction . " Were those most mighty meetings , those majestic and sublime assemblages—meetings of persons striving for their rights , liable to , be driven off their land by the landowners of soil , suffering under a mass of tyranny , to be designated " vulgar gatherings of faction ? " ( Hisses . ) Those people strained their ears to listen to the doctrines then taught them—doctrines of bold nationality , but guarded by him under whose guidance they were led , and which , were not the doctrines of physical force . ( " Hear" and cheers . ) { From the Morning Chronicle . ) SECCESS 10 N OF MR . SMITH O'BRIEN , M . P . extraordinary proceedings . Dublin , Tuesday Evening , Halv-past Six O'Cmck . —It was quite clear , both from the speech of Mr . John O'Connell , yesterday , and the line of policy which it was generally understood the ' "Young Ireland" party would pursue , that a rupture in the association was inevitable . Those who thought so have not been disappointed , though the result may have exceeded their anticipations . On the conclusion of Mr . John O'Connell's speech this day , which was chiefly confined to a condemnation of the Nation newspaper for its advocacy of the principles of physical force , and an exposition of his father ' s policy with reference thereto , Mr . MucnELL , ( generally believed to be the editor of the Nation , ) undertook the defence of that journal , and was followed by
Mr , MEionER , who proceeded to explain the grounds on which he differed with Mr . O'ConnclJas to the morality of using physical force for the achievement of national objects . He could notconcur in the opinion propounded by Mr . O'Connell , that no political amelioration was worth the shedding of one drop of blood ; on the contrary , he held that there were many benefits of a national character which were well worth the expenditure of much bloodshed . The young gentleman was proceeding to illustrate his argument by historical reference of a revolutionary nature , when Mr . Jons O'Coksell rose to ordev . He averred that the line of argument pursued by Mr , Meagher was totally unjustifiable , and might be productive of the very worst consequences to the association and to the country at large . Considerable uproar ensued . .
Mr . Smith O'Brien protested that he could see nothing in the speech of Mr . Meagher that was at all objectionable , and put it to the meeting whether they would render themselves liable to the imputation of being enemies of free discussion , by refusing to hear his friend , Great confusion in all parts of the meeting at this moment . Mr . John O'Connell asserted that Mr . Meagher . by advocating principles of physical force , and thereby acting contrary to the fundamental rules of the Association , and to the resolutions recently adopted , virtually ceased to be a member of the body . Unless the Association agreed with him in his View Of the matter , lie ( Mr . J . O'Oonnell ) would no longer continue to be a member of it , and then th' -y might adopt whatever rules or principles ihey wislipd .
A scene of the utmost confusion and excitement now prevailed , in the midst of which Mr . Smith O'Brien , accompanied by all tho members of the '' Young Ireland " party in the meeting left the hall , intimating lhat they had ceased to be members of the repeal confederation . After a short lapse of time , and when tranquillity was somewhat restored , .,.-,, , Mr . John O'Connell ( who appeared to feel deeply the stuation in which he was placed ) expressed his heartfelt sorrow at the course which Mr . Smith O'Brien and his frienda had thought proper to
pursue . Nothing in his mind could be more calamitous to the cause of Ireland than the secession of so many hig h-minded and talented individuals ; but in acting as he had done , he was merely fulfilling the dictates of his conscience , and what he conceived to be his duty t » his country . In movin CT the adjournment of the Association to Monday next he observed , that he might undertake to promise that on that day his father would be present , who should endeavour , as far as in him lay , to heal the wound which had just then been inflicted on Ireland . The meeting then seperated .

We spent several hours on Tuesday evoningat this delightful place of popular anniFenici t , and , we may add , of popular instruction , and frcl bound to record our special ^ admiration of all its ni rangemrnt ? . Resorts of this kind are much needed in our vast metropolis , where , from the want of suital le places of rational recreation , so many people arc driven to the / famine-house and the tavern , w consigned to the purlieus of tbe theatres . Indeed , establishments like the Colosseum may be regarded as so many adjuncts to national education , in ns far as they tend to elovatfe the pulilic mind . I > y bringing before it objects of art and interest , and r aising associations of the beautiful .
Want of space Ibrbicis our dwelling at length on the vnired objects of intovest presented to ouv view , but we cannot omit alluding to the gorgeous effects created b ^ tlie interposition o . ' mirrors in the aviary and conservatories , where a profusion of lamps of the mostfcxo . uiailive design , the elaborate awadts and graceful fountains , seem ' multiplied to 5 rifi » ny . By the way . if ropie . s had betn taken here for the fountains erected by government on some of our public sites , we should not have to regret siicli tasteless exhibitions is those which deface Trafalearequare
and kensington-sarciens . The aviaries contain a very choice oc-lleotirm of birds , from the gay Kingbird , to the grave Owls in the Grecian ruin . — " Montblnnc and the cataract" arc admirably executed , the artist having contrived to throw a misty light over the scene , thnt much assists the illusion , anil the minute pinc-ivees on the distant rocks , waving in the wind , the flowing of the ( real ) water , the spray of the waterfalls , the moving of the reeds in tlie current , perfect the deception . We should have liked , however , to have heard the Kuh-reihn from among the montains .
The Hall of " Sculpture , " and the "Stalactite " Caverns challenge onv praise in their turn—the latter , indeed , are a most artistic imitation of nature ; the Crystalline elorie . i , and lights and shades in the distant shafts , bcina admirably rendered . But thecrowning feature of the whole i ? i to our mind , the " Might Viow of London , " tlmn which , it ia impossible to picture any thins of the kind more magnificent . It is brought palpably beforo the eye , defyingthestrictest scrutiny ; with the rivet ripplinp in tbe rr . oonlifjbt , and imnffing tho almost countless lamps , the streets ihronjred with people , the shops brilliant with , lisht ; while afar the eye ranges over the misty hills
of Kent and Surrey in the south , to the green woods of Hampstead and Ilighpte in tho nnrfcb . As we are { jiizing , the clocks chime from tower . to tower , the moon ia overcast , sl ] cet-lightnin < f illumes the scene , the thunder rolls , the raiii is heard to gush , and a pomp of light fleecy clouuds passes along the sky in qufckly varying splendours ; the storm soars away over Kent , the stars twinkle forth a { : ain , and » rich quiet moonlishr . once more bathes tho scne . We are glad to find that a reduction has taken place in tho price of admission , as it is an exhibition * altogether too goo I to restrict within tbe narrow imits of the wealthy circles .
We had . 'ilmost forgotten to mention , thnt there is . at present in full flower , a most magnificent specimen , of the , " Mexican Aloe , " it is of a species hitherto unknown in Europe , ' is a native of the eo > . mh t y between Mexico and Texas , and although a voyager for no less than 'T . OOO miles fivm the locality of its early growth , is to bo seen in full perfection . Its height is about 30 feet , and its summit is crowned with myriads of blossoms in full bloom . The novelty has been the theme of universal admiration on the part of those most competent to form an opinion on its merits .

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF EMBEZZLEMENT . A very surprising ease of embezzlement was brought before the Borough Court , pn Monday last , ns having been committed upon Messrs , James Vance and Co ., merchants , late of Moslcy-street and Spring gardens , Manchester , but whose principal establishment appears to be in Dublin . No suspicion wtatcver appears to have been entertained of any fradii-Icnt . transactions until lart stock taking , when deficicnccs were discovered to a very serious amount . Circumstances drew suspicion upon a clerk in tlie employ of the firm , named Martin Bernard Hliategan , and on Friday ' last he was apprehended in Dublin , by Sub-Inspector Moran , of tlio Manchester detective force , in whose custody he arrived in Maneheatcr on Monday morntngi Mr . Tlmmas Vance , one of the partners , attended at the Borough Court , from whose evidence , it appeared that , tbe prisoner was in the habit of receiving large rei i ; ances from
tho Uublin house , for the purpose of p ai ing off accounts owing W tlie firm ; and the following was said to be one of a great many similar ensts . Aa amount of ; £ C 2 s . Cil . was paid to Mr . J . C . Milne , of Ynrk-itreet , less 2 s , Id , discount , on account of the firm , and the amount was duly entered in theprisoner ' s cash book ; but subsequently it wis evident that alterations had been made . The figures 13 had been inserted before tlie 0 , making the num appear , instead of < £ 0 ds . Od ., £ 120 ds . Od . The fisiuiv . 1 , too , had been inserted , both in the pounds anl shillingscolumn . for the discount , which , instead of 2 s . Id ., was thus represented as £ 1 ] 2 u . Id . The prJsener usually balanced b : s account * J't the end of the month , but he had been in the habit of obtaining his remittances at a larger ann-unt than lie actually required before the bn / ance was struck , lie was usually furnished with reinittancis from Dublin ; but lie received monov also from America and
elsewhere on Jiccount of the hrni . Mr . Vance slated also that" another person in Dublin had the entire management of the concern , to whom the prisoner was clerk , and , as the firm supposed , under him . It was the duty of this pera' -n to have corrected Uhatepan ' s accounts , and he ( Mr . Vance ) 1-ad 110 dnubt tlio enterics were made correctly in tue first instance , and altered subsequently , as it suited the wnnts of the prisoner . Mr . Beswick , chief superintendent , said there were a vast number of cases , but there had not been time to go fully into them . Tiicrc was a charge ofstealing a quantity of hnmflim-lnVis . —' I lie officer Moran s ; iid thnt tbe prisoner , on beins ; apprehended , said he had been the dupe of another , and that the handkerchiefs had been duly entered to him . —Mr . Maude wislied to have one case fully gene
into first ; at present it appeared to be all jniess work ; the party before him was apparently deficient in his Hccount . ' The . ro . certainly did not appear to be sufficient evidence to support a ' charge of felony , since it was alleged that the money had been received by the prisoner previously to tho alterations being made-Mr . Law , solicitor , who appeared for Hiepnsoner , did not object to a remand , and it £ 5 ? - TWi < J ^ that the case should be heard apain op ^ nwfc . \«* \ is said that the partner who usually ^ SS *!^;*!!^} branch of the Eusin ^ has IfM ^^ past , and that it is during his iH jftSElSS ' transactions have taken place .
