      PORTRAIT OF FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . In another column our readers will observe an adver tisement of a litliograpliic portrait of Air _Feargcs O'Coksok , from an original painting , by T . Martin . Wc have seen specimens , both plain anil coloured , and mini pronounce Mr Martin ' s work an _unmistakeable likeness of ihe breathing original . We bave heard several critical objections , to wit : — that the drawing is not perfect ; that the figure is deficient in length ; that Mr O'Connor is both younger and better-looking than this portrait represents , & c , & c . In spi-e of these objections , the worth of which the tens of thousands who know Mr O'Connor can decide when they see the engraving , we have not met any one wbo hashesitited to say" This is the man . " If not perfect , we must pronounce this portrait at least the most striking likeness we have vet seen .

      THE GENERAL ELECTION . As marly sis y ars have elapsed slnee the last genpr . il election , it mar not perhaps be altogether Hnintf resting to onr readers to be reminded of the course that was then adopted wiih respect to the dissolution of the old and the weetiaj . ofthe new parliament . Her Majesty in i > trson prerecord tbe then _parlisment on the 22 ml of June , 1311 . * The dissolution by proclamation took _plsce on tho following day , _thent-w _psriisKCJi * feeing _summoned ( o meet , and met accordingly , on 13 th _August , a period of 53 days tins inteivenh !! ? between the two _events . The legislature having then assembled , the _siUinss _ccniinucd for a period of seven wce _' _ts—viz ., from August 19 to October 7 , when the session , by successive adjournments was _carried over until the month of February ofthe following year . Supposing this precedent to "he followed en the present occasion , and that parliament be adjourned on the S : h , and _dissolved on the 9 th oi July , as anticipated ( though such _anticipations

      as to the close _ _c-f sessions have generally proved illusory by a period of protraction of about ten days ) , then , allowing , as in the _farmer instance , 53 days for tbe elections and tbe interval necessary for , and con sequent upon , the callinz of a . sew parliament , the second session of the llih Victoria _wili commence on tbe 7 ih of September . On the previous occasion , the new parliament _coBsaesced its sittings en the 10 ih of August , which were protracted nctil the 7 th of October , principally ficni the fact of Lord Mel"fcosrne ' _-j government bavin . , ' been outvoted on tbe _addnss in bath bosses , in reference to the paragraph in the speech from the throne , calling upon parliament to consider the laws _regulating the trade in corn , with the view of determining whether they did not aggravate the natural fluctuations of supply , embarrass trade , derange the currency , diminish the comforts , and increase the privations ofthe people , ¦ votes , which necessarily led to the delays and adjournments consequent npon the formation of a new

      administration . Circumstances , however , have changed sites then : Sir It . Peel ha 3 changed ; tbe corn laws are all but defunct ; and it may , therefore , be prestained tbat the forthcoming _initiatory session , if it _r-cnunenoes on or shout the 7 th of September , will terminate in a month or five weeks from that period , should no untoward circumstances , foreign of _domes tic , intervene .

      Limerick . —The state of the countv of Limerick has become perfectly horrible ; erery day some new murder or outrage more inhuman than that of its predecessor ! A man . named Bennis , a land steward , las been killed , who had served some law processes on defaulting tenants . Two brothers , in another part of the county of Limerick were murdered on Friday week . Five cars laden with flour were _plundered near Limerick en Thursday—a portion ofthe property was recovered ; There are accounts ol houses attacked for arms in the noocday-of parties _^ _nteringandordCTing _ecteriainnientfronisntetential farmeK-ptocecding . on their mW . on 3 , and _„ . _„„ .. _wgatan hour appointed to the r epast .

To facilitate his plans , it apDeais he had cut away all tbe wires connected with the alarm-hells , and in ail other respects made his _arrangements with admirable skill . The rumour runs that he had bribid a person on the establishmentto wink at his attempt to escnpe by a premiss of £ 20 , and that the latter not finding the money forthcoming allowed him to goon to the last moment _atd then gave information . Such are the facts , as our reporter had them from a source upon which he can place considerable reliance

      JJkr Majesty ' s Theatre , under the pre eminentlv skilful _raj _inw of its talented and liberal impresario stands alone in its glory , the first musical _etv _lablishnient in the world . Independent of Its possession of tue coveted treasure ot Europetlte far-famed Jenny Lind-the galaxy of _artistical _accomp-isluuent by which Mr _L-. mlev is surrounded gives to _tnis house a prestige wholly _unapproachable . Private royal visits and special commands fodow in qmck succession , while the whole town is ia a perfect furore to catch the dulcet notes ot Sweden s syren . " Norma" was produced on _lucsday frr the _purpose of introducing Mdl ! e Lind for the first time to an English audience in that character

      , the Queen honouring the representation with a State visit—the < mire pcrform-iiice bo _' ng by " spf _ciail _ccmoiand . " It is needless to say that Jenny Lind ' 3 vocalisation and enaction were triumphs of art ; _liunwh . our _contcmporarii'S are not so _nnaniniotiH in according the enthusiastic _p-aise it has hitherto _baen their wont to offer to every impersonation thi 3 highly gifted vocalist has as yet pyurtrayeil . _Nevertheless , the pcrfunnauce may be placed in juxtaposition with that of tucrival establishment , _Coveyt Gauoex , where _Gvis-i bus bern brought Forth in the same character , and _ivho , seiniifigiy catching additional inspiration from the Nightingale .

Air Wei > stir ' s retirement from tbe management lias been spohen of . but we attach no credence r « tbe report . — The Lyceum has _closrd its doors after a lone and

      _l . _tosperous season , undir the able direction of the Kcelevs , who deserved a butler fato than to b * made the Tictims of individual caprice , or collective disapprobation . Mr Arnold and tho debenture holders , between _thsm . have the merit of _haviiijdriven these t . _ilontid artistes from a management , which we much question whether the incomin _* , tenants will make either profitable or lasting . It is understood that Madame _Vettris and V . vC .

      It has hei n urged by critics most profound _. Oar efforts might have taken higher ground ; That wc threw o ' er the grand f . » r the grousque , And _give our chief attention to Barlestpie . But if _thfi topics ofthe day were hit By pointed epigram and harmless wit ; Cr Care ' s dull , gloomy _Tisaje was beguiled Into a _lighter train of thought , and smiled—If ymi hut felt , whilst _laughing at cur fun , Th ? _sants of common life more brightly run , Sure ! r yoa _irisl cot ' such srsall deer ' abuse For answering one grand object—to amuse . And , now the saddest _taisk is left . To all , -Wbo thus to-night _responded to our call , "Wiih more deep feeling than mere words can tell _. Let _ine but sp _« k that cruel one—Farewell !

      —At the _nuxcEss a the "legitimate" is in the ascendant , Macready , Mis Warner , and Crcswick , carrying all _bcl ' ore them . The " eminent" _trage dian has _bseu well supported by these artistes in running tlnough the range of his principal characters . The " King and tho Piper" has been the afterpiece , which , by-the-way , we deem a very meagre affair . — dt the _^ _DELPHi , _Buckstor-c' _-i '' Flowers of the Forest , " with the comedietta of " Flying Colours , " and tbe immensely _laughable burletta of "Jenny Lind , " have proved the staple attraction . A sew fiveazt drama and a farce are announced for Monday evening . —At the Queen's , melodrama , ballet divertissement " , and niuger vocalization are the erder of ihe evening . "TheSecret Witness , " "Dominique

      the Deserter , " and " Tie Dead Woman ' s Secret , " are delig hting the lovers of the mysterious and horrible . _—Cios-sing the water , the operatic company at the Subuey , with Mr Tuily as leader , consisting of Messrs Harrison , Lcfiler , lloncastle , and _M'Mahon , and _Misses _R-dnforth and Isaacs , have been giving tbe "Barber of Seville , " " Fra Diavolo , " " The Forest Maioen , " and " La _Sonnambula , " in their flcoustoised style of excellence , to crowded houses . The American * tragedian , Mr J . R . Scott , has also been attempting Shakspeare and the higher order of melodrama . —At _Astley ' s , ( who has not been to Astley ' s ?) our friend Batty lacketh not his usual energy and enterprise in catering for his numerous and aristocratic patrons . The last new spectacle

      has attracted crowded and delighted audiences , and the new scenes in the circle are really wonderful and _surprisindy clever . _—VAtncnui- _. the Surrey Gardbss and Cbemob . sk , are each endeavouring to supersede in the goal of public favour ; and the recent delightful weather has , wc trust , made some amends for the great outlay the _proprietors of these establishments must have gone to in the preparation of the highly instructive and interesting attractions offered . At the Surrey Gardens , _Jullien and his unrivalled band are listened to with rapturous applause ; and we may finally add that at the present season these latternamed public resorts arc well worthy a visit , and will be highly relished , even by these who pall the sense beyond its _strenath .

      Royal Poi . yiecu . vic L _\' _aTiiuiioji .--There has _baen lately _deposited in the museum of this establishment a model of arailroad called " Clausen ' s Safety Roilroad . " It consists of an additional rail ( termed the guide rail ) being placed in tbe centre of tho line , and eleva ' . ed nine or twelve inches above the train rails , this being formed of either wood or metal . Under _eat-h carriage is placed two sets of guide wheels , each set consisting of one horizontal and two Ttrtical wheels—so arranged that the horizontal wheel shall c » me within a very short distance of tbe upper part , whilst the vertical wheelB come on either side ofthe guide rail , none of tbem , however ,

      touching , so long as everything _remains in perfect order . But r . o sooner has the carriage a tendency to run off the line , than the vertical wheels come in contact with the side of the guide rail , and keep it secure in its . position ; or should an axletree break , a wheel become displaced , or a rail removed , so that the carriage has a tendency to drop , as it were , from its position , the horizontal wheel then comes in contact with the upper part of the gaide rail , and carries it on in _psrfect safety . It is ' even shown by the model tbat two rails may be removed one . opposite the other , and stili the train will proceed in perfect safety : this is a test , however , that we may say it would never be subjected to in practice .

About half-past five o ' clock the sea made a rush on to tho beach for fifty or sixty feet , and immediately receded to its natural position , j This occumd a great many times up to half-past eight . The boats at Nelwyn and Peazancc were sometimes afloat , and then again almost dry ; those th > t were at the _moorings at G wavasrbke ail showed their heads _towards the offing , although the wind at the time was blowing very _Btrong off the land . A

      INDIAK CORN . Suppawn , or porridge , tbat is to say , boiling milk , broth , or water , thiekened with Indian corn meal , in the same way that people in tbe south of England thicken them with wheat flour , and tbat people in tho north thicken with oatmeal . Put into water , this is a breakfait , supper , or dinner lor little children ; put info milk or broth it is tho same for grown people . It is excellent in all disorders arising from bad _digestion . Mean . —Put some water or milk into a pot and bring u to boil , then let tho corn meal out of one hand _ff « ntly into tbe milk or water , _nndkeop stirring-with the other , until you have got it into a pretty stiff state ; after winch let it stand ten minutes or a quarter of an hour . _aiileas

      * , or _eviMj onlj one minute , and then take it out , an _

      Hominy is made of the broken grain , broken by th » steel mills . It is soaked over night in warm water , changed in the morning , to clean cold water , nnd boiled gently an hour and a half . Warm it over when cold ; eat it with milk , or molasses , or salt , or bacon , or alone Samp , though not in sueh common use as _porridarc or mush , is very much used . The busk or skin of the co _* n is pen Id id off , or dipped in hot lye , or beaten iff as wc do the skin of oats . This is put . into a pot with pork , and boiled just in the ( arac manner as the piople in the country niako peas porridge . Wheaten bread , with one-third Indian corn meal , is decidedly improved by it , and is preferred nt all the tables of the fim American families . It acquires b y this iiddition a sweetness in _flnvour , and a freshness that we in rain look fur in _brnftrimado _onlin-ly of wheat . To Make Exgeuent Biiead witiioot Yeast . —Scald about two har . d . _-adi ! of Indian meal , into which put a little- s _* ilt , and as much cold water as will make it raiher

      warmer than new milk ; then stir in _Hlicit flour _j ( ill it is as thick as a family _pudd'ng _, and sit it do « n by the fire to rise . In about half an hour it generally grows thin ; you may sprinkle a little ft-esh flour on tho top , nnd mind to turn the pot round , that it may not bake to tho side of it . In three or four hours , if yon mind the above directions , it ivill rise nnd ferment as if you had set it with bop yeast ; when it does , make it up in soft dough , fl jui- a pan , put in your bread , and set it beforo the fire , covered up , turn it round to make it iqually warm , and in about an hour it will be light enough to bake . It suits best to bake it iu a Dutch ovea as it should be put into the oveu us soon as it is light .

      If _astt Podding . —Boil water , a quart , three pints , or two quarts , according to thu size of your family ; sift your meal , stir five or six spoonsful of it thoroughly into a bowl of water ; when tli * water in the kettle boils , pour into it the contents of the bowl , stir up well and let it buil up thick , put in salt to suit your own taste , then stand over tha kettle , _an-1 sprinkle iu meal , handful inter handful , _stirring it very thoroughly all tho time , and kttiuu it boil betwe ? n whiles . When it is so _thi- 'k thatyou stir it with _diflit-uliy _, it is about right . It take about half an linur ' s cooking . Eut it with miik or mo lasses . Either Indian meal o :- rye meal may be used . If the system is iu a resiricUd state , nothing can be better than rye hasty pudding and West India molasses . This diet would save many a ' one tho . horrors of dyspepsia ,

      Be careful to observe that Iu ' diun corn in all its preparations requires thorough cooking . If not sufficiently boiled or baked it loses its flavour and becomc _** - _indiirestible _. The following recipes are extracted from Dr _Bai-tlett ' s pamphlet : — Gsiddle Cakes . —Use milk altogether and no water . . Two eggs yellow and white to be allowed lOra pint of corn meal , the milk to be a little warmed , and the whole to be well beaten up with a spoon . There must be milk enough used te make the whole so liquid that it will pour out of the saucepan on tbo griddle , one spoonful of wheat flour and lard ( pure butter is better } _thesiza oi a _w-iluut .

      The griddle is a flat round iron concern , standing on three legs , and _olany size ; it must be made not very hot , as it would then burn the cakes , and it must bo well cleaned and greased while warm , that it may be perfectly smooth , so that the cakes may be easil y turned , thai they may be done brown ( not burni ) on both sides ; to promote their turning easily , is the _object of adding ths wheaten flour . Tha don _* : li , or rnthtr the batter , must be Will beat up _. _and prepared directly before bsing cooked , though it might set an iiour , but it would nut bear to be miscd over . night . The enkes are usually poured _sn until they spread on the griddle to the . size of the bottom of a breakfast plate . Indian Cobn and Wheat 1 _' loob BitEAD . —Take one quart of corn meal and a little salt , and one quart o ! boiling water . Wet the meal , let it stand until it be _i- ' _ood-wartn , then add tiro quarts of wheat hour and hull a pint of yeast , and let it rise . This quantity will make two loaves . Bake it one hour and a half .

      Bbown Bbead . —Take one quart and a pint of Indian meal , one quart and a pint ef rye flour , and a little salt j mix well together , then take half a pint of yeast , a quart nnd half a pint of _blooal-warin water , awd _lut it _ijse ; h ike it in an iron stand in the ovui all night . Rib and Indian Cokn Biiead _anotueb Way . —Scald three pints Indian meal in boiling water , one quart rye meal , a little molasses , salt , scalded together , not to be made still '; yeast put in when cold . To Make an Indian Meal Pudding . —About four spoonsful of Indian meal , a _pinf , of milk , ono egg , and t-vo full table spoonsful of treacle , mixed well together , put into a basin , tied down , * and boiled an hour .

      Indian Cake , oa Bannock . —Tins , as prepared in America , is cheap and very nice food . Take one quart of Indian meal , dressed or sifted , two table-spoonsful of treacle or molasses , two tea-spoonsful of salt , a bit of " shortening " ( butter or lard } half as big as a hen ' s egg , stirred together ; make it pretty moist with scalding water , put it into a well-greased pan , smooth over the surface with a spoon , and bake it brown on both sides beforo a quick fire , A little stewed pumpkin , scalded with the meal , improves the cake . Bannock , split and dipped in butter , _maikes very nice tonet . 'Indian Cobn , on Maize _Fi-ddi-cg , baked , —Scald a quart of milk ( skimmed milk will do ) , anil stir in seven table spoonsful of sifted Indian meal , a tca-tpoonful of salt , a teacup full of molasses or treacle , or coarse moist sugar , and a table spoonful of powder ginger or sifted clnnumon ; bake three or four hours . If whey is wanted pour in a little cold milk after it is all mixed _.

      BoimdMaize Podding . —Stir Indian menl and warm milk together " pretty stiff ; " a little salt and two or three great spoonsful of molasses added ; also a spoonful of ginger , or any other spice tbat may be preferred . Boil it in a tight covered pan , or in a very thick cloth ; if tbe water gets in it will ruin it—leave plenty of room , for Indian meal swells very much . The milk with whieh it is mixed should bo merely warmed ; if it be scalding hot , the pudding will break to pieces . Some chop suet very line , and warm in the milk '; others warm thin slices of apple to be stirred into the pudding—water will _answor instead of miik .

      Indian Muffins .- —Pour boiling water into a quart of corn meal , stir it well , let it be a thick batter ; when it is cooled a little , add to it a _tsble-spoonful of yeast , two _esgs well beaten , and a _tcm-apoonful of salt ; set in a warm place to rise for two hours ; then butter square tin pans , two . _thirds fill them , and bake in a quick oven ; when done _sexvo hot or cut in _squai-cs _, or bake as wheat muffins .

      A _* rii Cake . —Is prepared from tho Indian meal dough made as above , and is cooked as follows * . —Make a bed by _scrnping away the ashes on all sides , roll the dough after being made into form , between two cabbage leaves , place it iu the bed , and cover it up with the _previously removed ashes and embers . A little practice will determine tho length of time _requisite for _cookiug . The process resembles that for _roasvng potatoes . Cobn Cop Cake —Take two cups of com ; meal and one of whtat flour , or in that proportion , make them into a thin batter with milk and eggs , aud ssok them on a griddle . Hob Cake . — Is _prepared by _ wett ng ; up corn meal with boiling water , is uiado into a cake- aud cooked in front of the fire ou a , boaad or plate . Triis rescmblsB _tn » johnny enke _.
