      ireadersas—THE BATHCQKM&C SLAUGHTER . I dare say the horrible slaughter at Rathconnac is still fresh in the English mind , but yet the English reader has never read the true history of that barbaroo 3 and atrocious transaction . It occurred in 1834 , when the people were opposed to payingtitbes . Tlie vicar and a barge party met at the nOUie of -General Barry , and the y decided upon assailing the house of the widow Ryan , a most respectable woman . On the following day , a whole regiment asfailed the poor widow ' s house . The people collected in thousands , but not with the apparent intention of offering any forcible opposition . The ticar and an officer on the militia staff , who resided at Rathcormac , accompanied by General Barry and a magutrate , whose name I think was Gollis , came to

      ine widow ttyan s nouse to demand the tithe . The widow Byan ' s son , a " fine youcg fellow , came out of the houce to remonstrate with them for making their demand in such a manner , when he was instantly ehot dead at his mother ' s feet ; and—will the English reader believe—that the pious vicar took a prayer book from his pocket , handed it to * he mother of the deceased , and told her that if she would swear to pay the tithe there should be no more slaughter ? The reader may naturally conclude , that ike broken-hearted mother , deprived of her rtaff of life , and seeing her son weltering in his Wood before her , became frantic ; and upon her refusing to acquiesce to the brutal appeal of the pious -vicar , the word " Fire'' was instantly given , when the people , unarmed and unprepared , took to their aeels , when scoreB were shot .

      A poor widow of the name of Collins had two sons working in an adjacent field , who ran to see -what it was all about ; they were both shot * ead , -and the mother , finding that they did not come home to their dinner at the usual time , went in search of them , and met their dead bodies coming home in a cart . She threw herself upon the bodies in a state of frenzy , and sacked the gushing blood * om the wounds , discharging her stomach , and socking it again " until she fainted . Several poor fellows who were naturally frightened , coa-• cealed themselves in cow-houses and pig-styes , where they were discovered bv the Dions vicar and

      the magistrates , and shot dead upon the spot . As soon as I heard of the affair , I was determined to have a fair investigation , and I posted off from Cork to Rathconnac as fast as four horseg « ould galiop ; I went io the widow Byan ' s house , found her frantic , and saw the fresh blood of her « on before the door ; I gotfrantic also ; I scrambled npacorastatek in the field , when I was surrounded % y thousands of people , and I vowed to have satisfaction for the murdered innocent . I went to the hospital , where I found from thirty to forty poor fellows weltering in their blood , and when 1 went amongst them , they set up a feeble cheer , ¦ CIClalOJlDff . " SO TITHES . "

      Well , Mr . Foot , one of the coroners , came from € oik to hold an inquest ; he was a solicitor and a rabid Tory . He proceeded to select the jury , and pat the names of about sixty rank and rabid Orangemen into a hat , from which the jury was to be selected . I was sitting opposite to him , and whtn I discovered the dodge , I threw myself back in the chair , upset the table , and seat the bat and names fljjng into fog ^ . jj in 8 tantiy xo \ A me ttat he would have me committed , when I blenched my fist at him , and dared him .

      INTERESTING PARTICULARS OP THE LAST ILLNESS AND DEATH O F GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR , PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES . ( From the New York Tribunt . ) Goneral Taylor ' s illness commenced on the 4 th of July . On the morning of that day he was , to all appearances , sound in health , and in excellent spirits . In company with his family , and several of the Heads of Departments , he attended nt the National Monument to hear Mr . Foote's independence oration , and even up to five o ' clook exhibited no symptonw of illness . Ilowever , while ' upon the ground , he partook freelr of water , and then ^ afcer

      considerable exercise in walking , and exposure to » t ???/ ove home < A « ived at the" mansion , he Kit , as he expressed himself to Dr . "Weatherspoon , " very hungry , " and without reflecting that tie was m an unfit condition to indulge freely in iruits , &o he called for some refreshments , and 5 j y cherries and wild berries , which he wasnea down with copious draughts of iced milk and water . At dinner heappliod himself again to w £ heme against the remonstrances of Dr . weatnerspoon , and in an hour was seized by cramps , whioh soon took the form of violent cholera morbus . His physician prescribed the usual remedies , but for a time he resisted , deeming the attack only temporary , and that it would vield

      Sf t . nat ? raJ 1 y stroD 6 constitution . Towavd midnight , instead of relief , the attack iucreased in violence and threatened desperate results , ; if not speedil y arrested . He continued in this condition , without much change , until the evening W the otn . It was then deemed advisable to calliu other physicians . Accordingly , Messrs . Hall and Coolid e were invited , and promptly responded ; but they thought it further advisable to send for the assistance of Dr . Wood of Baltimore . That eentle-™ n ^ , S ? diatel y' and in the 8 a «» e cars SrfwS ? " ? T't ° l' ? i ? . brother of tho Genera ! . and his famil y who had likewise been telegraphed for . By this time ( the morning of the 8 th ) the fcl ^^ dm * ^ P lde ? r «^« 'ents on hisf / ame

      . . ; but by the united skill of these eminent praotitioners , the visible stages of the cholera morbus were soon after checked . However , fever ensued , and from remittaet character , it took the form of typhoid . Anxiety now began to ' manifest itself , not only among the exalted patient ' s family , hut among the physicians themselves . His chances of life hung upon a thread . ' - ¦ ¦ Meanwhile , there were other causes , beside merely eating and drinking , that operated fatally upon his system . To his medical attendant on the eta , ne said : — ' I should not be surprised if this were to terminate in my death . I did not expect

      to encounter what has beset me since my elevation to the Presidency . God knows that I have endeavoured to fulfil . what I conceived to be an honest duty . But I have been mistaken . My motives have been misconstrued , and my feelings most grossly outraged . " He alluded , doubtlnss , to the Slavery question , and the manner in which he had been variously assailed . Even the sanctity of the aick chamber was invaded by certain Southern ultraists , who came to warn him , that unless he took somo . neccsBary Bteps to protects the South , ttey would vott a ruohtion of cetuure on Ht ' cmduet . .

      Towardsthe evening of the 8 th , the chronic type of dysentery which had Bet in disappeared , and vomiting ceased . Dr . Joubron (?) of Philadelphia , who is eminent in these branches of treatment , was tele * graphed , and a reply received from him that he would arrive last evening ; but , alas I too late to be of service . The condition of the patient was now at its critical point . The sick chamber wasrestored to solemn silence , attendance placed on the outside , and none permitted to enter except the physicians . The family of the . President , witb Col . Bliss and other relatives of tbe deceased , occupied a roojn adjoining , where they remained , overwhelmed with grief , and refusing even the indulgences of necessary

      repose . Bulletins were hourly sent out , to inform the masses of the changes observable in the patient '; but these so slightly varied for the better , that all hopeofhis 8 afety was dispelled at eleven o ' clock . From that period until daylight the utmost anxiety prevailed . The 9 th dawned , but gloom still surrounded the Executive mansion . Thousands began to flood the avenues leading thither , and throughout the day a messenger was kept posted at the main door to answer the interrogatories that were incessantly poured upon him . At ten o ' clock a report was circulated that the President had rallied—at one p . m . that he was dead . The consternation created by the latter rumour-was happily relieved by an official bulletin at half-past three , that the crisis had been

      passed , ana that he was then beyond immediate danger . Bells rang for joy , and oven the boys in the street lit bonfires , and shouted in childish gratulation . The stream now to the White House was greater than ever , but about seven in the evening the pall of gloom again shrouded all faces , for it was announced that the illustrious hero was dying . Mrs . Taylor thrice fainted from excess of apprehension , and Colonel Bliss , who had never shed a tear perhaps upon the battle plain , wept like an infant . At five—two hours previous—the physicians refused to administer any more medicine , considering his case hopeless , and in the bands of God . The Heads of department , corporate authorities of the city , diplomatic bodyand officers of the

      , army and navy , paid their respects often during the day , and seemed to entertain lively feelings of solicitude for his safety . Everything that could contribute to the comfort of the sick , thenceforward , was extended ; but the sands of life had run out , and his hours were numbered . At nine the vomiting partially ceased , as all pain had disappeared about four in the afternoon . But the system had wasted under the shock and gradually sunk beyond recovery . Green matter was thrown from his stomach at intervals untiltwenty miuutes past ten—that peculiar colouration of bile that indicates tho dissolution of patients thus seized . At thirty-five minute 3 past ten his wife , and other members of his family , wore called to his

      bed side , to receive his last earthly adieu—a farewell that tbestoutOBfc could not gaze upon without a tear , It must be remembered that his was a domestic life ; and his beloved partner , ignorant as himself of those fashionable formulas which sunder the husband from the wife , felt for tho first time the loneliness of a bereaved heart , and understood nothing of that rigid discipline that would havo dictated to her , " Go and weep in solitude—society decrees it . " Her abandonment and grief were truly heart-piercing . The pain , which had afflicted the patient in the side of his chest , ceased ; and attended by other symptoms of ease , it was though he might endure till morning . But he himself knew better , and so

      declared in a quite audible voice . Ho was asked whether he was comfortable . " Very , " he replied , "Butthe storm , in passing , has swept away , the trunk . " Finally , he adverted to the subject of his previous broodmgs — the Slavery question—and observed , "lam about to die—I expect the summons soon—I have endeavoured to discharge all my official duties faithfully—I regret nothing , ; but am sorry that lam about to leave my friends . " These were his last audible words . Ho essayed to speak to his wife a few moments before his demise , but his voice failed him . Dr . Weatherspoon administered a stimulus , but it was powerless in reviving the functions . The soul of the hero had

      fled . " The lightnings may flash , and the thunder may rattle , , ; He heeds not , he hears not , bo ' s free from all pain ; : He sleeps his last sleep , he has' fought his last battle , ¦ :. " No sound can awake him to glory again . " Gen . Taylor died without a struggle . It was a kind of sinking into eternity , without feeling its pain , or experiencing its horrors . When all was over , the chamber was cleared , until tho undertakers had concluded their duties . The body was encased in ice , and ordered to remain where it tyas until this morning , when it was finally robe < i for

      the grave , and laid out in state in the east room . Thus ended the melancholy siege of disease agai&st a strong bulwark of nature . The body is greatly emaciated , but ihe lineaments of the face are preserved tolerably perfect . It . is proposed to embalm the remains ; but the consent of Mrs . Taylor has not yet been obtained . It is presumed , however , that she will raise no 6 V leotion—the General himself never having said or expressed aught against the practioe . Perhaps the death of Washington did not inspire more real sorrow and regret than that of President Taylor . — Every face wears a mournful shade , and none are so poor in charity as to deny him the tribute of U Bigh . . -.-. ¦ - -

      ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Mr . Pepper , Chemical Professor to this Establishment , has jUBt commenced his second lecture " On the apparent contradictions of Chemistry . " u- ? ep er in thec ° W 8 e of his admirable lecture , exhibited very many astonishing experiments , and among the most curious we noticed the following . He first commenced b y exposing the imposition practieed by the ancients in the deception of the fiery ordeal , and explained that in the course of time , and by the use of certain liquids , &o ., the hands and feet might . bo made to assume the

      condition of a non-conductor , and for a given timo would bear contact with red-hot metals without sustaining injury . Tho learned lecturer having nr « t dipped his hand into certain li quids took out an egg from boiling water , and afterwards exhibited the astonwhing feaf of immersing his hand in boiling lead ; this experiment being performed by first wetting the hand with sulpherous acid , which was kept in the liquid state by a freezing apparatus , invented by Mr . Mastera , of Regentstreet , which was greatl y commented upon by the lecturer , and praised for their many valuable uscb and qualities . The lecturo war attended by a crowded audience , who greatly applauded the professor throughout .

      VAUXHALL GARDENS . Bawoon . Asckni on . HonsKDACK . —It is a very long time since Vauxhall-gardons were attended by »" 0 large a concourse © f people as were R 88 embled on Wednesday evening , and tho groat object of attraction was the " extraordinary novelty in aerostation , which had ' been announced to take place on the occasion , being no less than that the " veteran Green , " as he is called , would make > an ascent on horseback . At half-past seven o ' clock , the time announced for the ascent to take place , the open space devoted to the purpose was thronged with spectators , an * their number was far exceeded by those who assembled on Vauxhall-bridge , and in tht avenues leading to tho gardens . •• Where is the horse ? w * b of course the general cry , and

      every penon pushed eagerly forward to the spot where the prapantlpns were in progress . At length a particular sm «) l pony , not larger than an ordinary sized Newfoundland dog , nnd weighing no more than ^ uyiDS ., was introduced to their view , and severs ! men were soon employed in the operation of strap-Ping him down in tho slender framework , which ' had lieen fixed under the haop of the balloon . ; Thi » work wai superintended by Mr . Greori himself , who . evidently did not much relish the experiment in which he had embarked . The feet of the littlo % nitnal were inserted into socket ! cut expressly for the purpose ^ and fixed therein by leathern strnps attached to ; his fetlocks . A handkerchief was then tied over his eyes , whilst his hoad was rendered motionless by » nape on either side , fastened to the

      eord whioh held . the balloon . . WhiUtthis-pvMosB was going m , the spectators took an opportunity of I expressing their opinions upon" the exhibiti&n , and the general impression appeared to be , that the act , if not -absolutely cruel , was su premoly ridiculous ^ Everything being arranged , ana the ponrbeing .-a& l was supposed , wellsetured , the " veteran ' mounted his oharger—a feat whioh he performed by beairiding tho animal like a Colossus—and , placing his feet upon the bags of ballast on either fiide , the balloon rose and immediately afterward ! tho pony gate Vplunge , which rendered the position of the aeronaut more perilous than . he had anticipated .

      THE DEMOCEA . TIC REVIEW OF 5 SfB ? AM ) FQREIGN POLITICS ^ HISTORY AND LITERATURE ! Edited by G . Juuan Harney . August . London : J . Watson , Queen ' s-head Passage , Paternoster-row . This number of the " Democratic Review " opens with an elaborate examination of Palmerston ' s Policy , evidently suggested by the recent Parliamentary Debates . Trae to his ancient creed , that "No good thing can com

      out of Nazareth , " the editor attacks both Palinerston and his opponents , and with Strict impartiality lays the lash on Stanleyites , Paimerstonians , and Cobdenites . Articles on the Forthcoming Anniversary of the Manchester Massacre , the Building Trades , and the Italian Princes and People , precede interesting and somewhat lengthy notices of two nltrademocratic works— " Lays of the Revolutions , " and Louis Blanc's " Historic Pages . " Important letters from France and Germany , conclude thepresent number . We extract the following from the second article : —

      PETER 100 Venus WATERWO . The 16 th of August revives reminiscences of the horrors perpetrated at the Manchester massacre . The martyrs that fell that day have effected more for England and reform , than the slaves of the oligarchy who fought for the Bourbons and fell at Waterloo , The battles fought for kings brought their just and natural consequences—great distress and wretchedness to the people . After narrating the massacre , the writer asks : — "What was the result of that day ' s gathering ? Was it a loss , or was it a gain to the cause of progress ?"

      Those who fell at Peterloo are more worthy of a national monument than those who fell at Waterloo . The cause of the first has advanced—that ef the latter has utterly failed . The battle of Waterloo was fought to put down the man chosen by the French , and to establish the race of kings . The name of Napoleon , still governs France , and the Bourbons are outcasts as they deserve to be ! Waterloo established the holy alliance of kings to divide the spoil among themselves . In defiance of nations they attempted to bind distinct races into nations and kingdoms . The revolution of 1843 scattered the hellish alliance of 1815 to the winds of heaven !

      Paris , Rome , Berlin , Baden , Vienna , and B * da-Peath , " have seen another , sight . " Cafltlereagh has taken his quietus , and the conning lletternich stole out of the back window of his master ' s chamber !

      The people at Peterloo met to petition for reform and the abolition of the Corn Law , and the Free Trade Ilalluow stands on the very ground on which the petitioners were slaughtered ! The Waterloo Com Law is abolished , a middle class reform has been effected , and Universal Suffrage is on the way ! Let the standard be raised for the suffrage , and we shall have another 16 th of August without the slaughter . Public opinion is ripe , and only requires the fitting leader .

The leaders " were promised titles , honours , places , and pensions . The patriotism of the English army depends on its pay . The belly is the moving power ; brutality , moral sluggishness , and intemperance , are what you find about the precincts of the English drill ground . The army views war as a trade . Patriotism neither enten the head nor the heart of the soldier . His own material selfish interests mainly govern him . He knows little and cares less about the institutions of his native country .

      The multitudes assembled at Peterloo had a sincere heartfelt desire to ameliorate the condition of the whole community ; and although a few perished in the attempt , their cause has prospered , and only requires a firm , united , and persevering determination to assemble and demand the suffrage , to obtain all the required political and social changes so necessary to man ' s happiness as a social and moral being . The suffrage is the first step to " the Charter , and something more . "

      — THE PRESS ; Family Literary Journal of Amusement and Instruction : London , W . Horgell , 13 , Paternoster-row . Part I . Although decidedly democratic publications naturally rank first in our esteem , we are ever ready to give a word of welcome to purely literary periodicals combining entertainment with instruction . "Man was not made to live by bread alone , " as regards his physical wants , and politics , " pure and simple , " must fail to satisfy the mental requirements of the great reading public . The Press , though not avowing any definite political principles , is conducted in a spirit evincing a love of truth and

      general progress . Of course we could not say "Amen" to everything contained in this periodical , but on the whole , \ re consider it well worth y an extensive circulation , which we donbt not it will speedily enjoy . We hate not space to enumerate the multifarious contents of Part I . — -suffice it to say , that there is no lack of yariety , both in prose and poetry . Froma serieB of articles on "The World ' s Treatment of Reformers" by Colonel Johnson —one of the most able writer ' s in the old People ' s Press- " we take the following observations . POtlTICil , BIF 0 RMKR 3 . This thing called government is a creature of social necessity , and forced into being by human wants . A single hand is too feeble to proteot life , liberty , and property ; hence the power of asuociationmust be called hi aid , to effect these objects . Rules defining rights must be made , and penal sanctions to enforce these rules must be prescribed . These rules are called the law of tho land , and the power that modifies and administers them is called the civil government . The foundation of all these is , Iht will of the people . But the handful of men called Rukri , first delegated by the people as their agents , taking Advantage of their position , and of the indolence of the multitude to look after tbeir agents , have by mere usurpation extended and perpetuated their power ; and by aid of the hocus

      ! poetu called the Church , have cheated tbe people out of their just rights , in making their own laws , for their own government . To cast out these usurpers , and recover their natural rights , the people have been obliged to struggle with these rulers , lo ! these thousand years ! The leaders of the people iu this struggle I call political reformers . In the early history of Britain , the first enemy to be encountered by the people , was despotic monarchy . The King was omnipotent ; and the people were Blaves . Thea succeeded the tyranny and superstition of the Church , if possible more deadly to Freedom than the effects of the moat absolute despot . At a later period the aris-Itocracy was In the ascendant ; and now the united liorces of aristocratic domination and church infoSf * ! , * * the enemy in thefield political re-X ?* " >*« to encounter .

      many martyrs toiiberty have , waded through seas of blood , and . sealed . their testimony ; to political * lb ^^ stake and on ft * block ? , The history of this Island for 1 , 000 year * past is but a ' record of the horrid death-struggles of' political reformers , offered up on the altar of political vengeance . Hampden is nofc-Algernon Sidney is w-ir ~ T T lf later times , men escaped with life , Wilkes , Hunt , Cobbet , and hosts of others could testify , that nothing wns left to them by their persecutors making life desirable . Contumely , reproach , withering scorn , state-prosecutions , imprispnments , and deadly persecution followed the most favoured of these men ; while the gallowB was reserved for the rest . And what waa ' tho offence of these suffering martyrs ? Why , simply , thatthey lived a century or so before their age . f 0 nave advocated the modicum of liberty we now enjov in this Island , a few centuries ago , had coat the life of the advocate . Men must be wary how they live before their time . : J := ^ ,
