33 * e scene ha 3 . been already aumdenQy interesting and ftrnmatftn ' , bnt ihe mpmeui aoif arriTBd irhen it became incomparably more so . A torn in the road disclosed to-new ihe aide of the Hill of Tara , "With « ount less thousands spread oTer , and the leag road lead 3 Dg to it filled vilh -one dense mass of human ketegs , As S » carriage of the liberator reached Hus spot : a ahont "Was raised that rent the air lor miles j and the shout passed along the line until it leached the bill "where all" Temora of the Bangs , * tool op the echo , and retained it back -with a long , hoarse murmur , like "the . sound of many -waipr * . * ' ifc O'Connell rose in bis seat , profonndly siScted , and there were Jew vrbo beheld the scene at that momen that did not feel deep emotion . The old Harper touched the chord * of bis harp , bnt the sounds died upon the strings themselves , and thB drams and horns of the numerous bands were ilnmb ; the Toice of fialf a jnfllion shontang-welcome to their liberator , and Hurrah ! for Ireland , could alone be heard .
Bow jporions-jrere the sounds that awoke the long * Seikt echoes of Temora of ibs Xinga . " Tbe music of Ireland "was once more heard in the inina of the HaU of Tara , and among the desert remains of the House of Comae . The melodies of the olden time resounded T » eefly 3 yoin BaQj-aa-Boigh , and from the Tea-mnr , and from Uath-Xaoghaire , and from the Dnmha-na-Jfgiall , and from Kath-na-Seanaioh . The laa Pan , or SionB of Itestiny , -was Hisrej not on the mound of the iHesbges , where it once stood , bat orer the "Croppies ' Grarej ™ and altiioagh it did not emit its mysterious thunders as of old , tbe thunders of Ireland ^ myriads , ¦ were beard around it , from the mounds of the Cathair-Crofinn .

Mr . Nicholas Boylan , of Hilltowa Horae , came foi-¦ wpd , and said be bad the honour to move the illustrioua Liberator of Ireland to the chair , on tills great and important occasion —( cbesrs ) . i The proposition tras passed with acclamation , and th « chair "was taken by
THE LIBERATOR . Mr . OCoimell proceeded to address the meeting , and was received -with load cheer * . When the cheering had aubsided , he said—It -wonld be the extreme of affectation in as to suggest , that I have not some claims to be the leader of this majestic meeting—( cheers ) , it would be worse than affectation—Jt .-wonld be drivelling folly , if I -were not to teel the awful responsHjiUty that the part I have taken in this majestic movement imposes « pon me—{ bear } . I feel responsibility to my country —responsibility to my Creator—{ hear ) . Yes , 1 feel the tremulous nature of that responsibility—Ireland is aroused , is aroused from one end to the other . Her multitudinous population have bnt one expression , and one "wish , and that iB the extinction of the Union , the restoration of ner nationality —( cheers ) . A Toice—There . will be no compromise .
Ml O Connall—Who isthat that talks of compromise ( cheers )? I am not here for the purpose ' of making anything like a « choolboy * a attempt at declamatory eloquence 51 am not here to revive in your recollection any of those poetic imaginings respecting the spot on which ¦ we stand' —( bear , bear)—asd which bare really become as household words ; I am not here to exaggerate the bistorial importance of tbe spot on"which we are conjtregated—bnt it is impossible to deny that Tara has historical recollections that give to it an importance , relatively , to other portions of the land , and deserves to be bo considered by every person » ho comes ; to it for political purposes—( hear )—and gives it an elevation and point of impression in tbe public mind that no other part ef Ireland can possibly have , History may be
tarnished by exaggeration , bnt the fart Is unaoabted that we are at Tara of the Kings—( cheers ) . We are on the spot where the monarch * of Ireland "were erected , and "where the Ghieftans of Ireland bound themselves by the sacred pledge of honour and the tie of religion to stand by "their satire land against the Danes , or any other stranger —( cheers > This is emphatically : the Bpot from -which it emanated the social power—the legal authority—the right to dominion over tbe [ furthest extremes of the island , and the power of concentrating the force of the entire nation for the purpose of national defence—( cheers ) . On this important spot I have an important duty to perform—I here protest in | the face of my country , in the face of my Creator—in rthe face of Ireland and our God , I protest against the
continuance of the unfounded and unjust Union—( cheers ) My proposition to Ireland is that the Union 1 b not binding upon OB ; it is not binding , I mean , upon conscience—it Is Toid in principle—it is y oid as matter of right—and it is void in constitutional law— ( heir , hear } . 1 protest by everything that is sacred , —without being profane to thB truth of my aaserfion—theari }—there is really no union between the countries —( hear . ) I don't speak now of those details tbaJ should make the Union a mockery ; hat there is , I repeat it , no real Union between the countries—{ bear ) . My propositioB is that there was ne authority vested in any person to pass the Act of Union . 1 deny the authority of the Act The English Legislature had no such competency —that must be admitted by every person . The Irish
Legislature had no such competency ; and I arraign the Union , therefoie , on the ground of the incompetency of the bodies that passsed it—( hear ) . No authority could render it binding but the authority of the Irish people , consulted individually through the counties , cities , towns , and villages ; and if the people of Ireland called for the Union , then it "wu binding on them , but there "was no other authority that could make it binding —( bear , bear } . The Irish Parliament had no such authority ; they were elected to make laws and not legislatures , and it bad no right to tbe authority "Which alone belonged to the people of Ireland . The trustee might as well usurp the right of the person -who trusts him ; the servant might as well nsurp the powers of the master . Tbelrish Parliament were elected
as our trustees—we were then masters—they were bnt onr servants , and they had no right to transfer us to any other power on the face of the earth—( bear , hear ) When 1 proclaim the Union to be a nullity , I have the ¦ words of Sanrin , who declared , in speaking \ of the Union— " It will be-obeyed as a law as long as you have a sufficient force to keep it so , but no longer ; " and I now tell you to continue your peaceful , but steady , opposition to that Union , until your loyalty and fidelity are rewarded by the calling together of our native Parliament by our beloved Sovereign . Three cheers for her . ( Here the immense multitude cheered for several minutes . ) We "will break no law . See bow we have accumulated the people of Ireland for this Repeal year . When , on the Snd of January , I ventured 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 months more tbe Parliament will be in College Qieen—{ cheers > 1 KiM tee Union did not take away from the people t > f lxrSxaAXh ^^ ias ^^ ahu 1 told you that thB Union did not deprive the people or that right , or take away the authority to have selflegislation . It has not lessened the prerogatives of the crown , or taken away the rights of the sovereign , and amongst them is tbe right to call her Parliament "Wherever the people are entitled to it , and the people of Ireland are entitled to haTeit in Ireland . AndthaQaeen has only to-mt > row to issue her writs and get the ; Chancellor to seal them , and if Sir Edward Sngden does not sign them , she -will soon get an Irishman tbat will , to rerirethe Irish Parliament Tie towns -which , sold their birthright have no right to be reckoned amongst ¦
the towns sending members to Parliament . King James the Pint , in one day , created forty boroughs in Ireland , and the Queen feas the same right as her predecessor to do so— ( bear , bear ) . We have aOirt of the towns to return members ( the counties , as a taatter of course , -win return them ) according to their populv tion , and the Queen has only to order writs to j issue , and to have honest ministers to advise her to issue those writs , and the Irish Parliament ia revived-by its own energy , aad Ihe force of ibe Sovereign's prerogative—{ bear ) . 1 "Will only require the Queen to exercise her prerogative , and the Irish people -will obtain their nationality again—( cheers ) . If , at the present moment , the Irish Parliament was in existence , even as it were Jn I 860 , is there a coward amongst yon—is th « re a wretch amongst yon so despicable tbat wonld not die rather than allow the Union to pass ? A Toiee— Yes , to the last man—( cheers ) .
Mr . O'Connell—Let every man who , if we had an Irish Parliament , would rstb . tr die than allow the Union to pass , lift up his bands . ( The immense multitude lifted np their bands . ) Yes , tbe Queen will call that Parliament ; yon may say it is the act of her ministry , if yon please . To be rare it would be the act of her ministry , and the people of Ireland are entitled to have their friends appointed to the ministry—( hear , hear , and cheets ) . The Irish Parliament -will thru assemble , and X defy all the generals , old and young , and all the old women in pantaloons—( laughter ) May , 1 defy all the chivalry of the earth to take , away that Parliament from ns again —( cries of never ) . Well , my friends , may I a&k yoa to obey me—( cries of -we will )—in the course of conduct 1 point out to ! you ,
¦ when I dismiss you to-day ; when yon have beard the resolution * put , 1 am sore yoa "will ge home ! with tho samt tranquillity you came here—'( yes ) . Every man of yen ( every man of us , ) and if I -wanted you again , -would you not come again to Tara Hill for me—( cheer *) ? . Remember me , 2 lead yen into no peril . If danger existed , it "would arise from some person ; who would attack us , for we will attack nobody ; and if that danger exists , you win not find me hi tbe rear rank . Tbe Queen -will be able to restore oar Parliament to ni The absentee drains , "Which caused the impoverishment of the country , -win be at an end ; the "wholesale ejectment of tenants , and turning them out on the high-way ; the murdering of tenants by the landlords shall bs at an end—( loud cheers ) . The rights
of the landlords will be respected , bnt their duties shall be Enforced ; an eqitahlfi tenure win take tbe place of the cruel tyranny of -the present code of laws , and the protection of the occupying tenants of Ireland be in-Bribed on the banner of Repeal—( cheers ) . Carry home with you , my advice—let there be peace and quiet , law and order , and let every one of you enrol yourselves Bepeaiers— ( cries of We ¦ will" )—men , women , ] and children ( yes , men , -women , and children ) , triveme three millions of Repealers , and I 'will soon have them —( cheers ) . The next step is being taken , and 1 announce to yon from this spot , that all the magistrates that have been deprived of tbe commission ot the peace ,
shall be appointed by the association to settle all the disputes and differences in their neighbourhood —( bear Keep out of the petty sessions court , and go not to them on . Monday next . We "will submit a plan to ehoose person * to be arbitrators to settle the differences of the people without expence , and I call npon every man'that wishes to be thought the friend of Ireland , to have his disputes settled by tbe arbitrators , andnot again go to the petty BeBsionB . We shall shortly have the preservative society to arrange the means of procuring from her Majesty the exercise of her prerogative , and I believe I am able to announce to you that twelve months cannot possibly elapse -without having a hurrah for our parliament in College-green . - 1

the reporter . When Mr . O'Connell came I went once more round Tara , ; and « ontinusd for more than an hour counting various groups , Pleasuring theground they occupied , and by th 6 result applying to other portions of the meeting not cou&ied , tried to come to a correct estimate , that there were on and near the hill upwards of one million , probably notlesa than twelve hundred tbonsand people J I in iai folly convinced of thia as that there was a multitude there at slL Taking into account the bunareds of thousands oa the roads , who never reached Tara , there were ! above one million and a half of
people out on that day , for the special purpose of being at tbe meeting . Ihiny accouat to tbe Morning Chronicle I have stated my opinion of the numbers ; and I have said , what I may here repeat , that tho meeting on Tara was to me , as it inust have been to every one whose souls were not senseless and dead to feeling , th « most awfully grand and solemn scene that the human eye ever witnessed . It was a scene to make Irishmen proud , though they might grieve for the causes that brought them together . It was a scene to make strangers regret tbat they were not Irishmen .

Playing with Edged 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 , f * Oh , I ' ve left a little bit of hair under your chin , and now I'll give you the finishing stroke . ' He then , by way of a joke , drew as he imagined , the back of thelrazor across the other ' s throat , when the
blood spirted forth in a stream , to the great terror and alarm ; of the operator , Bennett having most clumsily mistaken tbe blade for the back of the razor . The ; wound thus inflicted wa 3 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 Burgeon of the regiment , who was fortunately immediately in attendance , jBewed up the wound , and the poor fellow , who has thus experienced bo providential an escape , is now in the hospital , and out of danger .

Dreadful and Fatal Railway Accident . —On Sunday afternoon a man , named William Daacon , aged twenty-five years , expired in Guy ' s Hospital from the effects of the dreadful injuries he had received under tho following circumstances . It appears that on the previous afternoon , about half-past four o ' clock ^ the unfortunate man was at work on the joint lines of the Greenwich , Dover , Croyden , and Brighton Railways , situate hear the Neokinger Spa road , Bermondsoy , when the usaal signal was given of an : approaohing down train , in order that those at work should timely get out of the way . The deceased upon 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 which it was running , and the step of the
engine struck him , and ha was knocked down- Tho engineer , upon seeing the occurrence , stopped the engine as speedily as possible and returned to his assistance , when it was found that his body had been nearly severed in two , and that his boweld were protruding upon the ground . He was plaood in one of the railway Carriages and conveyed to the terminus at London-bridge , and from thence to the above hospital . Mr . Aston Key , Mr . Cock , 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 alii hope of his surviving beyond a few hours , and he lingered in the greatest agony until death put a period to his sufferings .
Dreadful ; Death of Mr . Ather , the celebrated American Vaulter . — 'This unfortunate man , whose ' : recent performance at the English Opera , under the management of Van Amburgh , excited so much admiration in his peculiar department , met his death on Thursday night at the Circus of Mr . Batty ; proprietor of the Royal Amphitheatre , who has several various establishments in various parts of the kingdom , and one in the Island of Jersey ^ where the late performer was fulfilling his engagement . { The particular performance for which
Mr . Aymer was announced concluded with a double summerset , a feat considered almost ( if not qaite ) 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 for Jersey , to render every assistance that his liberality ! can effect on the melancholy occasion . Smith , a great trampoline and vaulter , met his death in a manner- precisely similar during the management of Messrs . Duorow and West , at Aatley ' a , some seasons back .
Fatal Accident . —On Saturday night , between nine and ten o ' clock , another experiment with Ro * binaon's night signal for- shipping , was made from a skiff on the river off the St . Katherine ' s-dock , which , we regret to state , was attended with the lofs of one lite , and several etheTs had a moBt miraculous escape . It appears that during the experimental trials , some of the combustible materials of which the signal is made , and ( which 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 whose name we have not be able to ascertain ) with great difficulty saved from drowning . The ekiff , which belonged to a waterman named M'Niel , was almost wholly dtstroyed . The body of the lad who perished has not yet been found .
The Blood ' . —To a person who has at all studied the organization of the human system , the circulation oi 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 ehoots from the main spring of the heart ; when we consider it coursing rapidly through its various channels , and branching out into a thousand different directions and complicated windings , for the nourishment of the frame ; we cannofc avoid being moved by an involuntary thrill of astonishment : — 11 And we exclaim , while we survey the plan , — How wonderful this principle in man . "
What the sap is to the tree , the blood is to the animal frame ; and inasmuch as the strength and verdure of a tree are dependant upon the moiBture derived from the root , the health and vigour of the body are indispensibly connected With a cure and free circulation of this important fluid . It is this , that , must feed the flame of existence ; and unless its replenishments are freely and purely communicated , ' the vital fire becomes clouded , —burns dimly—and ultimately is extinguished . I In this light , and in this light alope , did the venerable Parr , ( the messenger of health and longevity , ) regard the important office 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 remedv for ever ? ill ; and certainly , in
the useful researches of Old Parr , this sentiment is strikingly borne out . By a close , careful , and assy duous 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 to the ordinary limits ormankind , then , indeed , there might have been some reason i for questionin t the pretended virtues of his medicine ; but when * vv < find that the days of this self-practitioner were p ao \ as to call forth mention in historical records , wna are we , as reasonable beings , to do butacquie 6 Cf , iuthi belief of the essential and infalliable benefit 6 / > riVabt from that invaluable discovery , now so we j knowi as Parr ' s Life Pills .

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 street , and , to snatch away the child , placed herself in the same dangerous position .

He was [ in the habit of occupying his time by ivory turning ; and so determined does he appear to have been to ' commit the act , that he drove a 3 $ guage , very rusty , into the pit of his stomach , with a mallet , about an inch and a half , and afterwards a smaller ! one about four inches :
and then thrust in at the second place a dart that bad teeth out on two sides < of it , for a float .

One of the millers , at work in the mill , called : [ to another to go and see
what devastation the dogs iwas making amongst the rats , and in his anxiety to look down the opening in whioh the Wheel revolved , he became entangled with the wheel , and was dragged through the opening . His limbs were tornjfrom 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 .
