TSE HIISH NATIONAL GATH 3 EBING . I 1 BA OP TTTR KINGS . last "week "we lad » ot room even for the meagre and immtiBfacfaay report of the Great Irish National Gathering , to declare , ox yronoxace , iorBq > eal , "whidi appealed in ths London duly papers . It -was at a late period « r ihe -veek that tha aeeosnt , meagre-and shorn-down as it "was , appeared and -we * we Trere ' then groaningTmaesa *' press of inatter" "We are glad that it happened 30 .

The Journal describes the proceadonoF Mr . O'Connell Irom ias-atmhaazein Memon-sgnare , Dublin , towards the place of meeting—Tsia-Hili . He describes the enthusiasm of the people throughout the vbolB line of their journey ; and states that at JBelpir , abonfc a mile and a half from ths hill , the liberator "wxs met by the men of SsHs , and Trim , asd Hsvsn , -wSJi their respective hands , playing airs of tdmnph . Kie Trim band , one of the finest in Ireland , was dressed in an extremely teauMfol uniform of " white , faced -aiQi brilliant green ; and the band from Eslls was conspicuous in a large caravan , constructed for the pnrpoBes , -sntti flags si the ionr comers , and a large -white flag in the xsatca , iaTingthe -srords " Ireland for Ihelriah . " A large asd very beautifulsreen lanner , jnerced Tnth a crimson border , and a de-rice executed in the centre , Tras borne'bebiijd this band , and de Yery Bev . Di-M'Evoy , the patriotic parish priest
of Sells , -whoynx himself the bearer of a flag at one of the corners of the vast vehicle in irhich his band "was carried , cheered the liberator enthnsIasHeally as he passed . The standard borne Jy the 'Kavan band -bad the foTloTriBg judicious inscriptions , namely : << lieland ire lore ih . ee , and glory in straggling fortby cause ;*" and "Obedience to the laws is ihe pivot npon -which all onr actions tam . " At 1 Mb point the scene became infinitely more animated than at any preceding one Anting ihe procession . As the I 3 berator a carriage passed , each of the bands struck , np" Behold the con-^ nering Hero Domes , " 7 ml in a moment the music -was drowned in the still more sonl-stixrfns Ihrmaers oT the jnnltitade . In passing by the demesne of Mr . Lynch , of Bsmafe , ihe liberator -wns greeted by a great numbu of most respectable personB , -who occupied private phaetons , and among -whom yrert seTeral elegant and SBshiosaHy dressed ladies .
Tbe scene bad been already sufficiently interesting and animated , but the moment aov arrived when it lecame incomparably more so . A tarn in the toad disposed to-new Ihe side of the ^ Hffl of Tara , -with « ontlesa thonsands spread OTer , and the leng road lead ing to it filled -with one dense mass of human beings , As the carriage of the Liberator leached this spot a ahont -was raised that rent the air lor miles ; and the shout passed along the line nnUl it leached the bin -where all *• Ttrmora of the Hinga ,- ' toot up the echo , saS . retained , it back * wiQi a long , hoarae Juunnnr , like " the sound of many -waters . ' Mr . O ^ Gonnell rose in bis seat , profoundly affected , and there -were few irho beheld the scene at that moment that did not feel deep emotion . The old Harper touched the chords of Ms carp , but the sounds died upon the strings themselves , snd the drums and horns of ths nnmerons bands -were dnmb ; the voice of half a jnifflnn sboni 3 n $ welcome to their liberator , and Hurrah ! - for Ireland , -could alone be heard .
How glorious tfet © the sounds that awoke the long silent echoes of "Temora of &e Bangs . " The music of Ireland was once more heaid in the ruins of the Hall of lara , and among the desert remains of the House of Cormac . Tie melodies of the olden t """ resounded sweetly from Bath-na-Roigh , and from the tes-mni , sad from Bath-Iaoghsire , and from the Dumha-na 2 fgMl , and from Ratk-na-Seanaioh . The lia Tail , or Stone of DfiHtJujj vas there ; not on the mound of the Bestages , Tsbereit once stood , int oyer the " Croppies " Grave ; " * and although it did not emit its mysterious timndeis as of old , the thunders of Ireland ' s myriads Were heard around it , from the mounds of the Catbair * Crofinn , 3 &ey ; -were , indeed , thrilling sounds to hear . * TwaB _ a cold heart they -would not mo"re ! The tear glistened In the eye of the stranger -when ite looked on that scene and though * of out history ; and many a hsaxfwu tooiuH tojesbainihe big drop -wbich joy , and grief , ana hope , and sympathy , made to trickle down ihe cheek .
In the history of Ireland , sad in , perhaps , that ol Europe , there is no record of a meeting like that which was "wijiessed on Tuesday pa Tara'sHill . "Whether * e Estimate its importance from its numbers or from the associations connected -with the scene in -which it » aa held , -we finS it equally unprecedented . There was apTsat ^ eaJxrat tie spot- » hich-srouiabiTe rendered it a stare important and a more interesting demonstration Han 33 ^ of fl » other " mauler meetings" which Ireland has yet -witnessed in the cause of her legis-Istrre independence , -were it eren less in numbers th **< xmy of gwrnj inj in numbers , too , it has far- exceeded The platform , yrtnch was raised at a short ataUunx , from the outer enclosure of the Eath-na-Riodh , "was calculated to be capable of eontaioing more tbas a thousand persona , and -within a few paces of it -was constructed a umaTlCT one ^ whieh -was deroledexcliisrrely to the ladies , and presented during the meeting a brilliant galaxy of female beauty .
At nine o ' clock a temporary altar -was erected near lbs summit of the Idn , and the HeT . Francis Fiinn , PJ . of Jisnuy offered the holy sacrifice of the mass , -which Va attendedby a congregation of temperate and faithfnl people , amounting to bnndreda of theussnds . The occasion -was ens of most awful solemnity . Ths placethe spot -whereihe ^ atrsn saint of Ireland flwt preached the ^ eepel of salration before the assembled princes of ths land , and ^ rhere the idols of paganism crumbled before the bias of eternal truth that burst from the uplifted cross . There , on the same T"fl , no longer in the gorgeous palace , in thfi -warrior ' s camp , or in the thMlsxn's tEBi , but on the desert ruins of them aD , and beneath the bine canopy of heaven—ihsn and there it "Waitbat the humble -miTn «* CT offered up an oblation for ihe people—there , on the -wreck of former grandeur , and amid the memorials ef past glories , did the people bend before the throne at mercy as the first duty of a tlaj to be deToted to the regeneration of their native
it half-past nine ihe Eer . Idx . MOlroy , C-C ^ »»« . again celebrated mass , and after Wrn the HeT . ! Mr . Cogblan , of ColEnsto-wzi , celebrated theJSrznsEiysteries , and hanng addressed Ihe countless multitude at some length , on the importance of temperance , and its -value as a moral-assistance to their spiritual ad-risers , and as sn aid to their political leader , he called on them to kneel and offer np a prayer to the Mercy Seat for the prolongation of the life of "Wtp -who—thepromulgator of ihe doctrine of moral revolution—was leading them on to a bloodless and stainless -victory . The address-was of the most impresslTe x&axactex , and -was followed by an extempore prayer in -which the people audibly Joined , and , with uplifted hands , implored a blessing on their leader , and freedom for their country . Masses wtre afterwards celebrated in succession by the Bev . J . Coghlan , " of iEllown , and the Ber . Mr . OtFarrell , of iloate .
Amidst the other interesting features of the day there is cse -which -we cannot -omit to mention here . The Dregneda trades' preceded by their band , and bearing one and twenty banners , arriTed on the hill about twelve o ' clock , and immediately proceeded to the centre of Kath-Ka-Biodh , and planted their colours in a circle around ihe Xia Pail , -winch stands over the grs-res of ifce United irishmen "who fell at Tara in 1798 . During their inarch to the zath they -were joined by the KbUs and two other-bands ; and , hayingJormed the circle dt banners , ttieloui bands -which were placed in the centre of aering struck up " God save the Queen , " and then played "Patrick * * 3 > ay , " -which -was again and again zaptorously encored by the innumerable crowds that ¦ were congregated around the interesting spot The effect of the circle of banners , as Been from the distance fcocrown the summit of the mound ,-wasmostpictnreEgtie , andcould be « gualle ^ » n ] y in ihe emotions ii was calcabtfid toprodnce iny a- knowledge oHhearcnmsUwces under -whichit " 7 &s fonaed .
In general the bands on enteriBg the iela proceeded to this melancholy monument , and with solemn dirges saluted the memory ef the dead . On one occasion , ttirt ? Wexlord men inelt aronna the Stone of Destiny , and "WiXh nplifted hands offered a prayer to Heaves for their massacred fathers and brothers -whose remains reposed beneath . The Effect-wasirresistible ; and ,-with uncovered heads and bended knees on the green swarth , Snrty thousand men-followed -the pious example . The moment was solemn in the fxtreme , as the incense of
pxKjEr thus sscesded to Heaven for the lamented < Iead ; and to add to the profound interest of the occasion , a land on tba Eummit of the mound played in excellent style the funeral dirge or I > ead March in Ssnl .

out fear or danger , and in the middle of the noon day , that She friends of them that is gone cenld come here -when I remember !** # , As Bson as the promoters of the meeting bad taken their places on the platform , and silence bad beeen obtained—Mr . Nicholas Boylan , of Hilltown House , came forward , and said he had the honour to move the illnstrious liberator of Ireland to the chair , on this great and important occasion —( cheers ) . The proposition -was passed -with acclamation , and the chair-was taken by
THE LIBERATOR \ Mr . OGonnell proceeded to address the meeting , and - as received -with loud cheers . When the cheering had subsided , he said—It would be the extreme of affectation in me to suggest , that I have not some claims to be the leader of this majesties meeting—tcheers ) . It ¦ wonld be worse than affectation—it wonld be drivelling folly , if I -were aot to feel the awful responsibility that the part I have taken in this majestic movement imposes epon me ^—( bear ) . I feel resporisibHity to my country —responsibility to my Creator—( bear ) . Yes , I feel the tremulous nature of that responsibility—Ireland is aroused , is aroused from one end to the other . Her multitudinous population have but one expression , and one wish , and thai is the extinction of the Union , the restoration of her nationality —( tbeers > : A Toice—There -will be no compromise .
Mr . O'Connell—Tvno is that that talks of -compromise ( cheers ) - ? I am not here for the purpose of making anything like a schoolboy ' s attempt at declamatory elo-Qtitsce ; I am sot here to revive is your recollection any of those poetic imaginings respecting the spot on which ire stand—( hear , hear)—and which have really become as household -words ; I am not here to exaggerate the Material importance of the spot on which we are con-({ regaled—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 so considered by every person -who comes to it for political purposes—( hear )—and 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 the Kinga—( cheers ) . "We are on the spot where the monsrebs of Ireland were erected , and -where the Chieftans of Ireland bound themselves by the sacred pledge of honour and the tie of religion to stand by their native land against the Danes , 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 the force of the entire nation for the purpose of national defence —( cheers ) . On t *»» important spot 1 have an important duty to perform—I ben protest in the face of my country , hi the face of my Creator—in the face of Ireland and our God , I protest asainst the
continuance of the unfounded and unjust Union—( cheers ) . My proposition to Ireland is that the Union is not binding upon us ; it is not binding , I mean , npon conscience—it is void in principle—it is void as matter of right—and it is void in constitutional law—( bear , hear ) . I protest "by everything that is sacred , —without being profane to the truth of my assertion—( hear , )—there la really so union between the countries —( hear . ) I don ' t 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 ) . My propoBitioa 1 b that there -was ne authority -vested in any person to pass the Act of Union . I deny the authority of the Act The English Legislature had no such competency —that must be admitted by every person . The Irish
Legislature bad no such competency ; and I arraign the Union , therefore , on the ground of the inebmpetency cf the bodies that passsed it —( bear ) . Ifo ^ authority could render it binding but the authority of j the Irish people , consulted individually through the ! counties , cities , towns , and villages ; and if the people of Ireland called for the Union , then it -was binding on them , but there -was no other authority that could xn&ke it binding—( hear , hear ) . The Irish Parliament had no such authority ; they "were elected to svakVbros and not legislatures , and it had no right to the authority which alone belonged to the people of Ireland . The trustee might as well usurp the right of the perron who trusts him ; the servant might as well usurp the powers of the master . The Irish Parliament wereelected
as our trustees— -we -were their masters—they jwere but our servants , and they had no right to transfer ns to any other power on the fa . ee of the earth—chear , hear ) . "When I proclaim the Union to be a nnllity , I have ihe "words of Ssnrin , who declared , in speaking of the Union— " It will be obeyed as a law as long asyouhave a sufficient force to keep it so , but no longer ; " and I sow tell you to continue your peaceful , bat steady , opposition to that Union , until your loyalty and fidelity are rewarded hy the calling together * of onr native Parliament by our beloved Sovereign . Three cheers for her . ( Here the immense multitude tsheered for several minutes . ) We will break so law . See how we have amrmTilfttefl the people of Ireland for this Repeal year . When , on the 2 nd of January , I ventured to call it
the Bepeal year , every person laughed at me . Ate they laughing now ? It Is our turn to laugh at present . Before twelve months more the Parliament win be In College Green—( cheers ) . I said the Union did not take away from the people of Ireland their legal rights . I told you that the Union did not deprive the people of thmiiiehK *» fcOca awav the authority to have selflegislation . It has not lessened ihe prerojranres vt tax crown , or taken away the rights of the sovereign , and amongst them is the right to call her Parliament wherever ibs people are entitled to it , and the people of Ireland are entitled to hsveit in Ireland . And the Queen has only to-merow to issue her writs and get the Chancellor to seal them , and if Sir Edward Sugden does not sign them , she will soon get an Irishman that will , to revive the Irish Parliament . The towns which sold their birthrightbave no right to be reckoned amongst
the towns sending members to Parliament . ; King James the First , in one day , created forty boroughs in Ireland , and the Queen baa the same right las her predecessor to do bo— ( hear , hear ) . We have a list of the towns to return members ( the counties , as a matter of course ,-will return them ) according to their population , and the Queen has only to order writs to issue , and to have honest ministers to advise her to issue those trrits , and the Irish Parliament is revived , bj its own energy , and the force of the Sovereign ' s prerogative —( hear ) . I will only require tie 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 in 18 B 0 , is there a coward amongst , you—i » th % re a ¦ wretch amongst you so despicable that -would not die rather than allow the Union to pass ? A Toice—Yes , to the last man—( cheers ) .
Mr . G"ConneD—Let every man who , if we had an Irish Parliament , -would rathtr die than allow the Union to pass , lift np his hands . ( The immense multitude lifted np their hands . ) Yes , the Queen will call that Parliament ; you may say it is the act of her ministry , il yon please . To be sure 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 cheers ) . The Irish Parliament will thvn assemble , and I defy all the generate , old and young , and all the old women in pantaloons—( laug hter ) . If ay , I defy all the chivalry of the earth to take avray that Psrliament from -us again —( cries of never ) . Well , my friends , may I a&k you to obsy me—( cries of we wiS }—in the course of conduct I point out to yon ,
when I dismiss you to-day ; when you have heard the resolutions put , I am sure yon will ge home ; -with the saiDC tranquillity yon came here—( yes ) . Every man of yen ( every mn ^ of us , ) and if I wanted you again , -would you not come again to Tara Hill for me—( cheers ) ? Remember me , I 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 , yon -will not find me in the rear rank . The Qneen -will be able to restore our Parliament to as . The absentee drains , -which caused the impoverishment of the country , will be at an end ; the wholesale ejectment of tenants , sad taming them out on the high-way ; the murdering of tenants by . the landlords shall be at an end—( loud cheers ) . The right *
of the landlords will be respected , but their duties shall be enforced ; an eqitable tenure -will take the place ol the cruel tyranny of the present code of laws , and the protection of the occupying tenants of Ireland be tnsribed en the banner of Repealf—( cheers ) . Carry Home -with you , my advice—let there be peace and quiet , law and order , and let everyone of you enrol yourselves fiepealers —( cries of " We witf' )—men , women , and children ( yes , men , women , and children ) . Glvama three millions of Bepealers , and I "will soon have them —( cheers ) . The next step is being taken , and t announce to you from this spot , that all the magistrates that have been deprived of the commission ol the peace ,
shall be appointed by the association to settle aH < 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 choose persons to be arbitrators to settle tile differences of-the people -without expense , and I call upon every man that wishes to be thought the friend of Ireland , to have . bis disputes settled by the arbitrators , ana not again go to the petty sessions . We shall shortly have the preservat ive society to arrange the means of procuring from her Msjesty the exercise of he * prerogative , and I believe 1 am able to announee to yon that twelve months -cannot possibly elapse -without having a hurrah for pur TOuBament in College-green . ;
After Ms . O'Connell ' ji speech , several : other distingnishwi Irishmen addressed the vast assembly , and a aeries of resolutions "were passed , affirming the preposition for a Bepeal of the Union , and asserting the right o ! file people toaeek it . When the business -was over , the vast multitude separated , each going quietly to hit home ; and in slew hours all * vu » as it bad before been ; silent and peaceable : With respect 1 to the numben present , ire give the following : —

the reporter ; £ WIi « n Mr . O'Connell came I went once more round Tats , and continued for more than an hour counting vaiioua 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 near the hill upwards of one million , probably not less than twelve hundred thousand people ! I am as folly convinced of this as that there was a multitude there at all . Taking into account ths hundreds of thousands on the roads , who never reached Tara , there -were above one million and a halt of .
people out on that day , for the special purpose of being at the meeting , j In my acconnt to Jbe Morning Chronicle I have stated my opinion of the numbers ; and I have said , -what I may here repeat , that the meeting on Tara vrtu to me , as it must ha- » e been to every one "whose souls were not senseless and dead to feeling , the most awfully grand and solemn scene that the human eye ever witnessed . It was a scene to make Irishmen proud , though they migbtgrieve for thecauses that brought them together . It was a scene to make strangers regret that they were not Irishmen .

This fact is of great importance to the rural population ; especially as the thatch ; is not only rendered fire-proof , but more durable . A solution of alum has been tiled , bnt being soluble , the rain destroys its -virtues . Her Majesty's war steamer Cyclops , sailed on the 11 th instant from Catrickfergus for Cove , after landing at the garrison sixty tons of stores , consisting of beef and pork , in barrels , of Limerick and Cork cute ; 400 to 500 bags of bread , 40 casks of rum , 2 , 000 stand of asms , and 350 , 000 lovmds ol baH cartridge .

Several sings were found io the room , some of them having passed through a massive door . An INIBUDEB . —On Thursday week , at a place in the pariah of Wrington , a bullock , which was being driven along the road , got into an enclosure in which were some very lotf'iooted cottages . To avoid bis pursuer , the creature scrambled npon the roof of one of them , and the frail tenement yielding to its weight , the poor bully made one amongst the family circle assembled within . It is hard to say which party was the most frightened . It appears that the most serious losses have been
sustained by the holders of property in . the extensive and fertile part of the country comprised -within the Bedford level , and particularly within the neighbourbeod of Wisbeach and Peterborough , by the late thunderstorm . In the fens alone upwards of 2 , 000 acres of the hay crop , of the value at the least of £ 10 , 000 , have been lately destroyed , ana the pasturage for 1 , 000 head of cattle is entirely inundated .

Patrick Byrne of Dundalk , lost her life under the following melancholy circumstances i : The deceased , Mary M'Gill , had been walking in the yard , in which had been a rick of nay , jnirear of her master ' s house , with two ' ohil .
aren . bhe sat beside the hay to shade herself from tne heat of the sun , when suddenly the support gave way , and the rick , containing several tonB fell on her . L John Byrne , Es < j ., Coroner for this county , and a highly respectable jury , proceeded to the spot , ana after having examined two witnesses , they returned a verdict of accidental death , with a deodand of 28 . 6 d . on the hay . Another " Socialist" Pakhon , anb wobse . —A Mr . Benham , 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 . Kooko , the relieving officer , at Lambeth-street , and went into a long statement of his family differences . It eventually turned out , however , that he had a young woman to live with him , and consequently his wife I refused to reside in his house . The Kev .
Gentleman prevaricated exceedingly , and the magistrate refused to hear him farther , leaving him to the mercy of the parish officers . At tsb Liverpool Assizes an old woman , whose evidencej was required 1 Q a bigamy case , refused to be swam . She said she had been a member of the Church of England , but thatishe was then "trying to be an Israelite , " which she subsequently explained , by statinjg that she had been converted to the sect of Johanna | Southcote ' s believers . Mr . Justice Wightman threatened her with imprisonment , but the old lady waS i Stedfast , and was finally discharged , the Grand Jury finding the bill without her testimony .
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 mm without drawing blood . The operation , however , fhaving been skilfully performed , Bennett remarked , " Oh , I've left a little bit of hair under your chin , and now I'll give you thefinishing stroke . " He then , by way of a joke , drew , as he imagined , the back of the razor 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 the blade for the 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 wound , and the poor fellow , who has thus experienced so providential an escape , is now in the hospital , and out of danger . It will be some weeks before he will be fit to resume his military duties .
Dreadfdl and Fatal Railway Accident . —On Sunday afternoon a man , named William Deacon , aged twenty-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 than was at work on the joint lines of the Greenwich , Dover , Croyden , and Brighton Railways , situate near the Neckmger Spa road , Bermondsey , when the usual signal was given of an approaching down tiain , in order that those at work should timely get out of the way . The deceased upon hearing it moved : from off the line , but in 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 he was knocked down . The 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 ^ is bowels were proiradi&n upon the ground , lie Was placed 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 . Thompi son , 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 few hours , and he lingered in the greatest agony until death put a period to his sufferings .
Dreadful Death of Mr . Aymer , thb 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 partsi 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 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 for Jersey , to render every assistance that his liberality i 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 . Ducrow and West , at Astley's , some seasons back .
Fatal Accident . —On Saturday night , between nine and ten o ' clock , another experiment with Robinson ' s night eignalfor shipping , was made from a skiff on the river off the St . Katherine ' ardock , which , we regret to Estate , was attended with the loss of one life , and several others had a aiost 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 blaae . The parties in it , to aave 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 skiff , which belonged to a waterman named M'Niel , was almost wholly destroyed . 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 of the Wood 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 into a 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 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 moisture derived from the root , the health and vigour of the body are indispensibly connected with a pure 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 . In this light , and in this light alODO , 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 remedy for every ill ; and certainly , in
the useful researches of Old Parr , this sentiment is strikingly borne ] out . By a close , careful , and assiduous investigation of the properties of certain herbal productfens , Had long-livedand celebrated man , discovered ^ A at 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 of mankind , then , indeed , there might have been some reason for questioning the pretended -virtues of Kb medicine ; but when we find that the days of this self ^ praotitioner were such as to cell forth mention in historical ' records , what are we , as reasonable beings , todo but acquiesce in the belief of the essential and infalliable benefit derivable from that invaluable discovery , now SO well known as Parr ' s Life Pills .

I Resuscitated Mpiimy Wheat . —There is now g * ow » ng , in the gardeii of Messrs . Barker and King ,, of Cockhill-house , a small plot of wheat , the seed of which was an ear of the second year ' s produce of a single grain of Egyptian wheat , taken from an
alabaster vase found by Sir Gardiner Wilkinson , during his travels in thejThebaid , in an ancient tomb ,, supposed to have been unvisited by man for a period of three thousand years . Mr . Martin Farquhar Tapper succeeded in . 1840 , in raising from this 'mummy wheat" a { crop of two ears , the seed of which he again planted , and in 1841 , produced a second crop ; the eac planted at Cockhill was presented by Mr . Tupper , to the talented authoress of that very useful botanical work " Plant * Utiiores , " in No . 23 of which will be found a minute account of Mr .

The Thrlowghmorb Affair . —Galway . —The investigation into the circumstances attending the death of Cavanagh , one of the sufferers in the unfortunate affray at Turioughmore , waa resumed this njorning before the coroner and jury . The friends of the deceased produced additional evidence , to show that for some minutes before the firing commenced the rioting had entirely ceased ; and one girl , the servant of a I publican , swore that in the course of the day the police were drinking and dancing with country girls ] in a room set apart for their own use . Mr . Higgins , on the part of Mr . Brew , declined to call any witnesses , conceiving the inquiry
to be one merely of a preliminary nature . Mr . Blakeney , the coroner , then proceeded to charge the jury in a clear and forcible manner ; and they retired to their room , were they continued in deliberation for half an hour . After the lapse of that interval they came into tbeir box , and banded in a verdict to the effact-f" That the deceased had reoeived a mortal gun-shot wound , inflicted by some one of a party of police ] acting under the command of Mr . iTomkins Brew , at Turioughmore , on the 1 st inst ., of which he languished juutil Thursday , the 3 rd inst ., and then died . The jury further found that the said Tomkins Brew , and the party then and there acting , were guilty of wilful murder . "

"—The Cork Examiner reiterates its statement respecting the draught of the 64 th regiment giving " three obeers for Repeal " on embarking for Plymouth ; and adds , that proof of the matter can be had jupon the evidence of respectable parties who were eye and ear witnesses of the transaction . Robert Taylor , a man who has been running about the country representing himself as a son of Lord Kennedy , showing a will entitling him te the possession of £ 20 , 000 , and deluding several females into marrying him under these representations , was found guilty of bigamy at Liverpool , and transported for seven years . His mother set up for him the plea of insanity . He is supposed to have married seven or eight women , is onlyj twenty one , and is most repulsive in personal appearanoe .
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 jat the lery moment that a cart , laden very heavil y with stones , was passing ; unconsciously , as it seemed , the chilti ran under the shafts of the cari—betwden the hind legs of the horse and the cart-wheels . Tiie mother , who was at the end of the passage—terrified at the danger which threatened her offspring , and , regardless of self , Bprang into the street , j 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 horse was a steady one , and the driver sucoeeeded in stoppipgiit on the instant , and both parent and offspring were saved . —Hull Paper . The late Suicide at ) Bristol . ^ -Furth er Particulars . —Mr . Heynes was 74 years of age ; and had been watched about his dwelling by the family for the last month or so , as it was feared he would destroy himself . He was in the habit of occupying his time by ivory turnings ; 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 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 had teeth cut on two sides of it . for a float . This he
passed into his heart . Two of the inmates arrived just 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 .-4 a very shocking accident took place on Friday last , at Bracy Bridge Mill , Lowthorpe , near Driffieldi On the forenoon of that day a person was engaged killing rats in the mill , and a dog had killed a considerable number in a corner under the arch of the Btream turning the water-wheel which partly Irevolved 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 the dogs ] was making amongst the rats , and in his anxiety to look down the opening
in which the 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 of 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 .
