      THE NATIONAL INSTRt 7 CTOR . Part IU . tendon : « F . Pavey , Holyweli-street . Maky excellent and ably-written , articles are contained in the ; numbers forming Pari 3 of the National Instructor . The editorial papers on Machinery , " V Peasant :. Proprietors , *' & c ., well'deserve our warmest commendation . The Biographical , Sketches of Kossuth , Louis Blanc , & .,, constitute . an interesting feature of this publicatioru . The Autobiography of Feargus ^ OfConnor is continued . We take from Chapter IX , the account of Mr . O'Connor ' s advocacy of the case of , the victims in the tragical , affair , remembered by . our elder readers a & 7-. ~ THE HATHCOBUiC SLiCOHTEE . .

      I dare say- the horrible slaughter at Bathcormac is still fresh in the English mind , but yet the English reader has never read the'true history of . that barbarous aad atrocious transaction . It' occurred in 1834 , wheatbe people wereopposedtopayingtithes . The vicar and a large party met at the house of General Bariy , and they decided upon assailing tbe house of the widow Jtyan , a most respectable . woman . On the following day , a ' whole regiment assailed the poor widow's bouse : The people collected in thousands ,. but not with the ' apparent intention of offering larry forcible opposition . ; The vicar and an oScer on the militia staff , who resided at Bathcormac , accompanied by General Barry and a magistrate , whose name I think was Collis , came to ihe widow ; Ryan's house to demand the tithe . The

      widow Ryan ' s son , a fine ' youig fellow , came out of the house to remonstrate with them . for . nuking their demand . in , such a manner , " when he was instantly shot'dead at his mother's feet ; and—will ihe English-reader believe—that the pious " , vicar took aprayer book from his pocket , handed it to the 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 conelude , thatthe broken-hearted mother , deprived of her staff of life , and seeing ' her son weltering in . Tiis blood before her . becaine frantic ; arid upon her refusing to acquiesce tothe brutal appeal ofthe pious Vicar , the word . " fire' * , was instantly given , ' when the people .-unanned and . unprepared , took to their heels , when scores were shot .

      A poor widow of the name of Collins . had two sons working in an adjacent field , who rah to see what it was all about ; they were both shot ' -iead , and the mother , finding that ; they did not come home to their dinner , at the nsnal 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 sucked the gushing blood , from the wounds , discharging her stomach , ' and sucking it : again until she fainted . Several poor fellows , who were naturally . frightened , concealed themselves in cowrhonses and . pig-styes , where they . were discovered by " the pious vicar and the magistrates , and shot dead ' upon the spot . "' . ., ' /¦ 1

      As soon ' as I beardof the affair , I was determined to have a fair investigation , and ! posted off from Cork to Bathcormac as fast as four horses could gallop ; I . went to . tbe widow Ryan ' s house , found her frantic , and saw the fresh blood of her son before the door ; Igotfrantiealso ; I scrambled npacornstack in the field , when Iwas surrounded by thousands of ' people , and I vowed to have satisfaction for , the . murdered innocent . I vent to the hospital , where I found from thirty tO / forty poor fellows ; ' weltering in their blood , and when I went amongst them , they set np a feeble cheer , exclaiming , " " soTunis' * Well , Mr . v Foot , one of the coroners , came from

      Cork to boMan inqnest ; 'he was a solicitor and a rabid Tory . He proceeded to select the jury and put 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 hint , and when I discovered the dodge , I tbrew ~ myself , back in the chair , npset the table , and sent the hat and James flying into the air ; he instantly told me that he would , have me committed , when I clenched my fist at him , and dared him . . I ramped out ; ofthe room , ran tothe hotel , and , despatched two carriages and four—the one to Mallow , for Mr . Jones , who was also a coroner , and the other to Cork , for Mr .. O'Brien , who was also a

      coroner . . Until they arrived , I postponed the empannelhngof the jury , and when they did arrive , i euc-^ c JV ™?*!""^ " ^ *&'™& impartial jury .

      THE DEMOCBi . TIC BEVIEW OF BRITISH AND EOREiaN POLITICS , msTOBir and literature , Edited b y , Cr . JuiiAN Habney ^ August . London : J . Watson , Queen ' s-head Passage , PaternoBter-rpw . This humher of the " , Democratic Review " opens with an elaborate examination of PalmCTfitbn ' a Policy , endeatly suggested by the recent Parlismentary Debates . True to his ancient creed „ that "Nogood thing can come out of Nazareth , " the editor attacks both

      Palmerston and his opponents , and with strict impartiality lays the lash on Stanleyites , Palmerstonians , 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 ultrademocratic works— "Lays of the Revohztibnsj" and Louis Blanc ' s " Historic Pages . " Important letters from France and Germany , conclude the present number . We extract the following from the second article : —

      fztebxoo versus WATERLOO . The 16 th of August revives reminiscences ofthe horrors perpetrated at the Manchester massacre . The martyrs that fell ' thaV day have . effec ' ted' more for England and reform , than the slaves 1 of the oligarchy who fought , for the Bourbons : and felt at Waterloo . Thebattles : 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 causeof progress ? " , Those Who / ellat Peterlpo are more worthy of a national monument than those who fell at / Waterloo . The cause'of the first has advanced—that J 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 1848 scattered the heSiah alliance , of 1815 to , the winds of heaven ! ' ; Paris , Rome , Berlin , Baden , Vienna , and Buda-Pestb , "have seen' another sight . " Castlereagh has taken his quietus , and the canning Metternich stole Out of the back window of his master ' s

      chamber ! - - ' . ; ; The people at Peterloo met to petition for reform and the abolition of theCorn Law , and the Free Trade Hall how stands oh the very ground on which the petitioners were slaughtered ! The Waterloo Corn 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 forces that were ranged in opposition to the French at Waterloo were the slaves of kings or the tools of an oligarchy . Tho . " church and king in danger" was the cry that . led them to ' the fight . Tbe leaders were promised titles , honours ; ' p laces , 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 . ' Thej army , views war , as . a . trade . Patriotism neither enters 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 : " ; v . " The multitudes assemliled 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 prosnered , 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 suf-/ raj « isth ' efirsrstep to " the Charter , -and something more . ' * : ' -.: ; '• '•

      THE 1 PRESS x tamHyi Literary . Journal of Amusement , and . Instruction : London , W . . . ' Horsell , 13 , Paternoster-row . Part L . Although decidedl y democratic publications naturally rank first in our esteem , "ve are ever ready to give : a word of welcome to purely literary periodicals combining entenainmeht 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 coarse we could not say " Amen '' to everything contained in this periodical , but on the whole , we consider it well worthy an extensive circulation ^ which we doubt not it will speedily einjoy . ; We have not space to enumerate-the multifarious contents of Part L—suffice it to say , that there is no lack of variety , both in prose ' and nbetry . From a series of articlas . . dn ; '' The . World ' s Treatmentof Reformers" by Colonel Johnson —one of the most . able' writer ' s-in the old

      People ' s . Press—yre take the following oh serrations .

      :. POLITICAL BIFOBHMS . This thing called government is a creature of social necessity , and fojeed into being by human . wants . A single band is too feeble to protect life , liberfo and property ; hence the power of association must be called in 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 the land , and the power that modifies' ' and administers them is . called the civil ' governraent . ' ' : Tbeibundation of all' these is , theuitt ofthepiopte . ' But the handful of men called Huler $ r first delegated by the people as their aeents . taking adyantage . oftheir position , sand of

      the indolence of the multitude to look after their agents , have by mere ' usurpation extended and perpetuated their power ; aha by aid . of the hocus pocus called the Church ; have cheated the people out of their just rights , ip making their own laws , for their own government . To cast ^ out these usurpers , and recover their natural rights , the ptt > p ' . e have been obliged to struggle with these rulers , ' lo I these' thousand years ! The leaders of the people in 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 vrere slaves . Then ¦ succeeded the tyranny and superstition of the Church , if possible niore deadly to Freedom than the effebts ofthe most absolute despot . At a later period the aristocracy was in the ascendant ; and now the united forces of aristocratic domination and church in-! tolerance , are the enemy in the field political reformers have to encounter . And ¦ oh ! in this struggle for freedom and the rights of man , how " r # '

      INTERESTING PARTICULARS OF THE LAST ILLNESS' AND DEATH . OF GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR , PRESIDENT OF . THE TJKITED STATES . ¦ '"

      • ( From the New York Tribune . ) General 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 . Iri company with' his'family , and ' several of theiHeads of Departine ' ntsi he attended-at the NationalMonumentto hear Mri Fobte ' s independence oration ; and even . iip to five o ' clock exhibited no symptoms of illness . . However , while upon the ground , he partook freely of water , and then , after considerable exercise in walking , and , exposure to the ' s ' un , he drove home . Arrived at the mansion , he "felt / ' as he expressed himself-td Dr . Weatherspoon , * . ' ¦ very hungry , " -and without reflecting that he was in an unfit condition' to-indulge freely in

      fruits , & c , he . called for , some refreshmen . t 8 , nan ; d ate heartily ' of cherries and ; wild . Twrries , . which .. he washed down-with copious draughts of ' iced ' milk and water . At dinner , he applied himself again to the . cherries , ; against 'the remonstrances , 'of Dr . Weatherspoon , . and in an hour was seized' by cramps , which soon tooii the form ; of violent . ' cholera morbus ; ' ' His physician ; preecrifaed ; the - usual remedies , but for a time he resisted , deeming the attack only temporaryl and that' it would yield finally to his naturally strong constitution . Toward midnight , instead of relief , the attack increased'in violence and . threatened ; desperate Results , if ; not speedily arrested . He continued in . this condition , without much change , ' until the evening .. of the 6 th ; It was then deemed advisable to ' callin other

      physicians . ' . Accordingly , Messrs . Hall andCoblid » e . were invited , and promptly responded ; but they thought it' further , advisable to send for the assistance of Dr . Wood of Baltimore . That gentiemah attended'immediately , and in . the same cars came Colonel Taylor , the brother of the General ; and bis family , ' who bad likewise been telegraphed for .: By this time , ( the" morning of the 8 th ) the disease had made rapid encroachments on his frame ; but by the united skill of these eminent practitioners ; the visible stages of the cholera , morbus were soon after checked . . However , fever ensued , and from remittaet character , it took the form of typhoid . 1 Anxiety now began to manifest itself ; not onlyamong the exalted' patient ' s family , but 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 8 th , he 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 tothe : Presidency . God knows that I . haye endeavoared to fulfil what rconceived to be " ah honest duty . ! But ! have' been mistaken . - M y motives hive been misconstrued , and my feelings' most Grossly outraged . " He alluded , doubtlnss , . to the la very question , and the manner in- which he had been-variously assailed .. Even the . sanctityofthe sick chamber was invaded by certain . Southern ultraiats , wbb came to warn . him , ' that unless he took some necessary steps to protect the South , they would vott a , resolution of cenmre on his eonduct . , ; ,:-- '• .:. > , ' ¦ :, ' .

      Towardstheeveningofthe 8 th , the chronic type of dysentery which bad set in disappeared , and vomiting ceased ; Dr . Joubion (?)' of Philadelphia ; who . is eminent in these branches of treatment ; was telegraphed , and a reply received 1 from him that he would arrive last evening ; but , alas I tod late to be ofservice . - ..,.- , , •; ,, ; . . ' - The condition of the patient was now at its critical point . The sick chamber was restored to solemn silence , attendance placed oh the outside ; and none permitted to enter except'the' physicians . The family of the President ; with Col . Bliss and other relatives of the-deceased , occupied a room : adjoining , where they remained , overwhelmed / with grief , and refusing even the indulgences of necessary re-1

      pose .. Bulletins werehourly sent out , to , lniorm the masses ofthe changes observablein the patient ; but these so ; sligbtly . variedtfor-the better ^ that all hope of his safety 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 rhUied-4 at ' one ' p . m . that he was dead . - 'The ' con 3 terhation created by the latter rumour was bappily relieved by an official

      bulletin at haifrpast three ,- that the crisis had , been passed , and that he was then beyond ; immediate danger .- Bells rang , for joy ,, and even the boys , in the street lit bonfires , and snouted in childish gratiilatton . ... The stream now ' to the White House was greater than ever , but-about seven in the evenmg the pall of gloom again shrouded all feces , 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 up / ra the / battle plain , wept like ah infant . At ; five—two hours previous—the physicians refused . to administerahy more medicine , considering his case hopeless , and in the hands of God . The Heads of department , corporate authorities of

      the city , diplomatic body ,-and officers of the army and navy , ipaid 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 ^ until twenty minutes past ten—that peculiar , colouration of bite that indicates the idissoVutibri' of-patients' thus seized . At * thirty-fivemihiite ' s past ten * his ' -wife ,

      and other , members of Ws family , were called to hia bed side , to receive , hislast earthly adieu—a farewell that the stoutest could not gaze upon without a . tear . ; . It must be remembered that his was a domestic life ; and his beloved partner ; ignorant as himselfbf those fashiohaWe , Yormulasw , hich ' sunder the husbandfrom the wife , ; felt for the , first time , the loneliness of . a bereaved < ' heart , and understood nothing of that rigid discipline ; that would have dictated to her , " Go and weep' iri 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 . . He ' was asked whether he was coinfortable . \« Yery , " , he ; rep lie ^ "Butthe , storm , in passing , has swept away the trunk . " Finally , he adverted to the subject of his previous brbodings ~ the Slavery Question—and observed , ' " , 1 am about to die ~ I expect the summons soon—I have endeavoured to discharge ' all my bfiScial duties faithfully—I regret . nothing , but ami sorry : that I am about to leave ; my friends . * .. These were his last audible words . He essayed to speakto his wife a fewmioments before hisdemise , hut his , voice failed' him . Dr . -Weatherflpoori administered a stimulus , but it was , ' powerless ^ in reviving the furietioris . The soul of the hero had " "¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ - ¦ '

The body was encased in ice , and ordered to remain where it was until this morning ! yrhen it was finally robed for the grave ; and laid out in . state in . the east room .

      Thus ended the melancholy siege of disease against a strong bulwark of nature . : The body is greatly emaciated , but the lineaments ofthe 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 objection—the General himself never having said or expressed ; aught against the practice . 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 a siRh .
