      THE IRISH NATIONAL GATHERING . IABA . OF THE KHfQS . last week "we had not room even for" the meagre jnfl snsa&sfMtory report ti the Great Irish National gathering , to declare , or prowtmce , for Repeal , -which appeared in the London dally papers . It was at a late period of the "Week that the account , meagre * and ihora-doB ^ as It was , appeared ; and to to were then groaning BndBT a ^* press of matter . " We are glad that jtiappened kv * Had we presented our readers T * ith the report that lias since gonB the Tound cf the English press , no adequate idea of ib . B nature , and extent , and en £ hnsia 3 iB of this moat extraordinary gathebib g could have been formed . From the Weekly Freemen ' s Journal ttb could get a much more satisfactory notice ; sndwe are glad that the delay has enabled » sio do so : for oT & 11 things it is important that the peeple of England should rightly understand tiio extent , and nature , 'snrl scope ul the Irish ilovemenU

ThB Trim"band , one of the finest in Ireland , TJras dressed is an extremely beautiful uniform of white , faced -with brilliaat green ; and the band from Kails VU conspicaons in Vlarge caravan , constructed for the purpose , with fl \ ga at the four comers , and a large -white flag in the centre , having the -words " Ireland for the Irish . " A large a-d » ery beautiful green banner , pierced -with a crimson border , and a device execnted in the eantre , -was borne behind this osna , and the Very Bt > T .

      ol Kells , -who-was himself the bearer of a flag at one of the corners of the -vast -vehicle in -which his band "was carried , cheered -the Iabarator enthusiastically as he passed . The standard borne by the KaTan band had the following judicious inscriptions , namely : — " Ireland -wbIbtb thee , and glory in straggling lor thyxanse ;" and Obedience to the laws is the pivot npon which % a oaracUona tarn . Atrthis point title scene became infinitely Tnnm MriTmi ^ Han at acy preceding one during the procession . -As the Liberator " * carriage passed , each of- the ^ BftSs itrnck , « p" 3 Jebold thecoxtqnering Hero oomea ^ bnt in a moment the music "was drowsed in the still nor * » onl-8 tirring thunders of the jnulbtnde . In passing by the demesne of Mr . lynch , of Hamave , the Liberator was greeted by a great number of most respectable persons , -who occupied private phaetons , and amon ; whom WEre several elegant and fcahionaVly clressed ladies .

      The scene lad been already sufficiently interesting and animated , bnt the moment sow arrrvBd whea . it became incompaiablymore 20 . A torn in the road disclosed to"riew the aide" of the Hill of Tara , with countless thtmsacds spread oree , and the leng road lead ing to it filled with -one desw mass of human beings , As fi » carriage of the liberator reached this spot a shout was raised that rent the air JormQes ; and the shout passed along the line until it reached the iin -where all " lemon of the Kings / ' took up the echo , and returned it bade with a long , hoarse nmmiu , TtVw "the strand of many waters . " Mi . O'Connell rose in his seat , profoundly affected , and fhere were few ~ nrho beheld the scene ai that moment that did not feel deep emotion . The old Harper touched the chords of bis harp , but the sounds died ¦ a pon the-strings tbtmselTes , s » d the drums and horns © f thennmerojabands were dumb ; the voice of half a million shouting welcome to their liberator , and HuxrahJ for Ireland , could alone be heard .

      Ids stanens itere ibB sounds that swoks tie long silent echoes of * ' Temora . of ibe Kings . " The music of Ireland was once more heard urine ruins of the Hall of Tara , and among the desert remains of the House of Corxoac . The melodies of the olden time resounded sweetly from Sath-nn-SoJgh , and from the Tea-mnr , and froni "Rat ^ wT ^ ftg ^^ Tf ^ and from the Dumha-naitgisB , and from Uata-na-Seansicih . The Xia Fail , or Skme of Destiny , » as there ; not on the mound of the Ees&res , -sphereit osce stood , bat ova- the " Croppies * Giare ; ~ and although ft did sot emit its mysterious thunders as of old , the thunders of Ireland's myriads -were heard around it , irom the mounds of the Gathair-Croftnn . They , "were , indeed , thrilling sounds to hear . Twas a cold heart they would sot more > The tear glistened in the eye of the stranger wb ? n he looked on that scene and thought of our history ; and many a heart was too full to restrain the big drop which joy , and grief , and hope , and sympathy , made to trickle < lo wn ihe cheek .

      In the history of Ireland , and in , perhaps , that of Europe , there is no record of a meeting like that which ¦ was -witnessed on Tuesday oa Tara's HiH . Whether * b estimate its importance from its numbers or from the associations connected with the scene in which it "Was held , we find it equally unprecedented . There was a prestige aboil the spot which -would hare rendered it a more important and a more interesting demonstration than asy of the other ' -monster meetings" which Trrf « mri liis yet -witnessed in the cause of her legislative independence , -were it tTen less in numbers than zbj of them , but in nnmbera , too , it has far exceeded them , ' - - The platform , -wMeh was raised at a short distance from the onter enclosure of the Bath-na-Biodh , was calculated to be capable of containing more thsn a thousand persons , and within a few paces of It was constructed a smaller one , which was devoted exdusrrely to the ladies , and presented during the meeting a brilliant galaxy of female beauty .

      At nine o ' clock a temporary altar was erected near Sis aumnit of the bin , and the Her . Francis Piinn , P-P . cf 2 JsTss , cSdTbd yh » holy sacrifice of tbs mass , which was attended by a congregation of temperate and faithful people , amounting- to hundreds -of thenssnriB . The oceaaion was ene of most awful solemnity . Tee placethe spot where the pxtren saint of Ireland fiut preached the gespel of xalTstion before the assembled princes of the land , and-srhere the idols of paganism crumbled before tbeblazs of eternal truth that burst from the uplifted cross . There , on the same hill , no longer in the gorgeous palace , in the warrior ' s camp , er in * the chieftain ' s lent , bat on the desert ruins of them all , and ¦ beneath the blue canopy of hearen—then and there it Was That lbs humble minuter-offered up an oblation for the people—there , on the wreck of former grandeur , and amid the memorials ef past glories did the people tend before the throne ol mercy sb the first duty of a 3 ay to be devoted to the regeneration of their native

      land . At half-past nine the Her . Hi . M * Hroy , G& , NaTan , again celebrated mass , and after him ihe Her . Mr . Coghlan , olCollinstown , celebrated ihe Divine mysteries , and having addressed the countless multitude at some Ifmgfli .. on Ihe importance of temperance , and its value as a moral assistance to their spiritual advisers , and aa an aid to their political leader , he called < m them to kneel and oSer vj > a prayer to th » Mercy Seat for the prolocfation of the life of him -who—the promnlgator of the doctrine of moral revolution—was leading them cm to a l > l ! x > aiesB snd stainless-ric + oiy . Tbe adfiiess was cf the most impressive character , and was followed by as -extempore prayer in -which the people audibly Joined , and , with uplifted hands , implored a blessing era their leader , and freedom for their country . Masses WEre ^ fLerwards celebrated is ^ uceessios bj Hie J&eY . J . CoihJan , of UStown , and the Bs = v . Mr . OTarrell , of Zdoate .

      Amidst the other interestingfeatures of the day there ia one which -we cannot omit to mention here . The Droghefia trades' preceded by their band , and beariig one and twenty banners , arrived on the hill abont twelve o ' clock , and immediately proceeded to the centre cf Sath-Ka-Biodh , and planted their colonrs in a circle around the Lia Ftril , which . stands over the graves of ihe TJmted Isashmen wbo { ell -at Tara in 17 S 8 . -. X > uing their laarcb toiheT&th they ^ rere joined by the Sells and ; two other bands ; and , having formed the circle of cannery the four bands which -were placed in ihe centre « J She ring stmck up *• God save tht ijaetn , " acd then played "Patrick ' s 3 Day , * " -sr"hich -was agt&B snd again xapturously encored by Ihe innumereble exowds that Were congregated around the inttresting spot . The tfitct of the circle of banners , as seen from the distance to crown the summit of themound , wasmostpictnresqne , and could be equalled * nly in ihe emotions it wsls calculated to profluce by a knowledge oftheciicumBtances under which it -wss formed .

      1 b . general the hssds on entering the field proceeded to this melancholy monument , and with solemn dirges xsJnTfH ihe memory ef trie dead . On ana occasion , ifeiity Wexford men knelt around the Stone of Destiny , and with uplifted hands offered a pnijer "to Heaven for their massacred fathers and brothers' whose remains reposed bentath . The effect "was irresistible ; and , with ¦ uncovered heads and bended knees on the green swarth , Ubiixtj tbonzssd men followed tke pious example . Toe moment was solunn in the extreme , as the incense of

      prayer thus ascended to Heaven for the lamented dead ; and to add to Ihe profound interest of the occasion a band en the Eummit of the mound played in exctlleL-t style the fcnezal diije or Dead March in Ssnl . It may iere be meislioned , to the credit ot tlie brave men of "Wexforfl , that on the fatal 25 th of aisy , 1798 , when ^ fisoHanizalion and tieachtry , and , above afl , intsxicaSm , caused the insurgent army en . Tara Hill to be * augbtered by tbeToyalist troops , but few of tfee TV « - ^ ° m men Tsho fought is the Irish ranks suxvrrEd the ^ ght to xetsm home .

      On the evening before the meeting several incidents occurred which called up recollections of the unhappy Keues of thst day . One old man , cendinc , -with age , ^ as seen -weeping over a » ** Croppies' Grave ;"' and i « ing asked -what ailed btm be answered , "Enough * 2 » me , ( rod Liip me ] Thnrei four « 1 mj brothers , ttdtwo cf mv unctes , and five of mj oouaiia , _ lying -aaSer Hot sod I I -was wousdMl syself the same day , -Sad Ixy among th * dcui ; aad it was as well for me , * syb 4 if » y poor Ikaefl leSteaaloBg-withthe rest of

      THE LIBERATOR . ^ Mi . O'Cotnell proceeded to address the meeting , and was received with loud cheers . When the cheering had subsided , he said—It would be the-extreme of affectation in me to suggest , that I ba ^ e not some clflVmn to be fiie leader of thiB majestic meeting— [ cheers ) . It would be worse than affectation—it would be drivelling folly , if I were not to feel the awful responsibility that the part rhave taken in this mojesticmovement jimposes upon me—( bear ) . I feel responsibility to my jcountry —; responsibility to my Creator—( hear ) . Yes , I feel the tremulous nature of that responsibility—Inland is aroused , ia aroused from one end to the other . Her multitudinous population have but one expression , and one wish , and that ia the extinction of the Union , the restoration of her nationality —( cheers > : A Yoice—There will be no compromise .

      Mr . O Connell—Who is that that talks of compromise ( cheers ) ? I am not here for the purpose of making anything like a schoolboy ' s attempt at declamatory eloquence ; I am not here to revive in your recollection any of those poetic imaginings respecting the spot on which ¦ we stand—; hear , hear )—asd which have really' become as household words ; I am not here to exaggerate the historial importance of the spot on which we are congregated—bat 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 —( bear )—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 Kings—( ebbers ) . We arje on the spot where the monarchs of Ireland were treated , and where the Chieftana of Ireland bound themselves by the sacred pledge of honour and the tie of religion to stand by their native land against the Danes , ox any other stranger—( cheers ) . This ia 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 tho force of the entire nation for the purpose of national defence—icieer ?) . On this important spot I hare an important duty to perform—I here protest in the face of my country , in the face of my Creator—in the face of Ireland acd our God , I protest against the

      continns ce of the unfounded and unjust Union—( cheers ) . My proposition to Ireland is that the Union is sot binding upon us ; it is not binding , I mean , upon conscience—it is void in principle—it is void as matter of right—and it is void in constitutional law —( hear , Bear ) . I protest by everything that is sacred , —without being profane to the truth of my assertion—( hear . )—there is really bo union between the countries —( hear . ) I dont speak now of those details thai should make the Union a mockery ; but there is , I repeat it , no real Union between the countries^—( bear ) . My prepositicra is that there veas ne authority vested in any prison to pass the Act of Union . I deny the authority of the Act . The English legislature had no such competency —that Brest be admitted by every person . The Irish

      legislature had no such competency ; and I arraign the Union , th * rtfore , on the ground of the incompetency of the bodies that passsed it—( hear ) . No authority could Tender it binding but the authority bl , the Irish people , consulted individually through the counties , cities , towns , and villages ; and if the people of Ireland called for the Uiaon , then it was binding on them , but there was no other authority that could mike it binding—( hear , bear ) . The Irish Parliament had no such authority ; they were elected to make laws and not legiB . alurea , and it had no right to the authority which alone belonged to the people of Ireland . The trustee might as well uturp the right of tjbe person who trusts him ; the servant Bright as well usurp the powers of the master . The Irish Parliament -wereelected

      as our trustees—we were their masters—they were but our servants , and they had no right to transfer us to any other power on the face of the earth—thear , hear ) When I proclaim the Union to bo a nullity , 1 have the words of Ssurin , who declared , in speaking of the Union—¦ " 2 t "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 yonr peaceful , bat steady , opposition to that Union , until your loyalty and fidelity are rewarded hy 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 how we have accumulated 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 . Are they laughing now ? It is our turn to laugh at present . Before twelve months more the Parliament ; will be in College Green—{ cbetr ?) . I said the Union did not take away from the people of Ireland their legal rights . I told yon that the Union did not deprive the people of that right , or take away the authority to have aelfle&islatian . It tiw not lessened tlie prerogatives of the crown , or taken away th © rights of the sovereign , and amongst them is the right to call her Parliament wherever the people are entitled to it , and the people of Ireland are entitled to have it in Ireland . And the Queen has only to-iacrow to ifsne her "writs and get tho Chancellor to seal them , and if Sir Edward Sngden does not sign them , she will soon get an Irishman that will , to revive lie Irish Parliament The towns jrhich sold their birthright have no risht to be reckoned amongst

      tie tows * Bending members to ParJixment . King James the First , in onB day , created forty boroughs in Ireland , and the Qneen has the tarns right &s her predecessor to do so— ( 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 Qceen lias only to order writs to issue , and to have honest ministero to advise her to issue those writs , and the Irish Parliament is revived by its own energy , and the force of the Sovereign ' s prerogative—( tear ) . I will only reqnire tie Qneen 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 I 860 , is there a coward amongst you—is tbtre a wretch amongst you so despicable that would not die rather than allow the Union to pass ? A Toice ^—Yes , to the last man—lcheers ) .

      Mr . O'Connell—let every man who , if w had an Irish Parliament , -would rathtr die than allow the Union to pass , lift up his hands . ( The immense multitude lifted up their hands . ) Tes , the Queen will call that Parliament ; you may say it is the | tct of her minittry , if you please . To be jure it would be the act of her ministry , and the people of Ireland are entitled to have their friends appointed to the ministry—( bear , b . ea > , and cheejs ) . Ihe Irish Parliament -will thin assemble , and I defy all the generals , old and young , and all the old women in pantaloons— - ( laughter ) . Nay , I defy all the chivalry of the earth to take away that Parliament from us again —/ cries of never ) . Well , my friends , may 3 ask yon to oiay me—1 cries of we will )—in the course of conduct 1 point oat to you ,

      when I dismiss yon to-day ; when you have heard the resolutions pHt , I am sure you will ge home with the sarot tranquillity yon came here—( yes ) . Every man of yea ( every man of ns , ) and if 1 wanted you again , would you not come again to Tara Hill for me—( cheers ) ? Remember me , 1 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 rest ranb . The Queen will be abis to restore our Parliament to us . The absentee drains , which caused tbe impoverishment of the country , will be at an end ; the wholesale ejectment of tenasts , and turning them out on tbe higb-way ; tbe murdering cf tenants by the landlords Khali be at an end—( loud cheers ) . ¦ The rights

      of the landlords will be respected , but their duties shall be enforced ; an « qitable tenure will take the place of the cruel tyranny of the present code of laws , and the protection of the occupying tenants of Ireland be iu-Eribed on ihe 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 Repealers—tcrSes of " We will" }—men , women , and children ( yes , men , women , and children ) . Give me three millions of Repealers , and I trill soon have them —( cheers ) . The ntxt step is being taken , and 1 announce to you from this spot , that all the ' magistrates that hare been deprived of tbe commission of the peace ,

      shall be appointed by the association to settle all the disputes and differences in their neighbourhood—( hear ) . Keep out of the petty Bessiona court , and go cot to them on Monday next . We "will Bubmit a plan to choose persons to be arbitrators to settle the differences of the people without expence , and I call upon-every man that wishes to be thought the friend of Ireland , to have his disputes settled by the arbitrators , and not- again go to the petty sessions . We ahall shortly have- the preservative society to arrange the means of procuring from her Majesty the exercise cf 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 ia College-green .

      After Mr . O'ConnelPs speech , Bevexal other distinguished Irishmen addressed the vast aEsepibly , and a series cf resolutions were passed , affirming the preposition for a Repeal of the Union , and asserting the right of the people to seek it * When the business was over , the vast multitude separated , each going quietly to iis home ; and in a few hours all was as it bid btfore been ; jfflent and peaceable : With rupee * to the nmmbtrs present , ¦»• giv » tie 16 Howi » g ;—

As I am the person referred to , andasthe number Btated is far below the truth , I think it right to [ inform yon , that I -went round and round , throngh and throuph , the meeting at eleven o ' clock , two hours and a-half before 2 dr . O'Connell ' s arrival , I tfitimated tlie number then present to be $ 06 , 000 . It was of thla I spoke to

      the reporter . When Mr . O'Connell came I went once more round Tara , and continued for more than an houi counting various groups , measuring the gronnd thBy occupied , and by the reanlfc applying to other portions of tbe 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 fplly convinced of this as that there was a multitude tliere at all . Taking into account the hundreds of thousands oh the roads , who never reached Tara , there were above one million and a half of

      people ouS on that day , for the special purpose of being at tho meeting . In my account to the Morning Chronicle I have stated my opinion of the numbers ; and I have said , what I may here repeat , that the meeting on Tura was to rae , as it must have oeen to every one whose souls were not senseless and dead to feeling , tho most awfully grand and solemn scene that the human eye ever witnessed . It was a scene to make Irishmen proud , though they mightgrieve for the causes thai , brought them together . It was a scene to make strangers regret that they were not Irishmen .

      Ha Intruder , —On Thursday week , at a place in the parish of Wrington , a bullock , which was being driven along the road , got into an enclosure in which were some very low-roofed cottages . To avoid his pursuer , the creature scrambled upon the roof of one of them , and the frail tenement yielding to its weight , the poor bully made one amongst tbe family circle assembled within . It is hard to say which party was the most frightened . ; It appzaBS that the most serious losses hare been sustained by the heldtra of property in the extensive end fertile part of the country comprised within the Bedford level , and particularly within the neighbourhood of vVisteach and Peterborough , by tbe late

      At the ! Liverpool Assizes an old woman , whose evidence was required in a bigamy case , refused to be sworn . [ She said she had been a member of the Church of ; Eugland , but that she was then " trying to be an Israelite , " which she subsequently explained , by stating Ithat she had been converted to the sect of Johanna Southcoto ' s believers . ¦ Mr .

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 oneration .

      however , having been skilfully performed , Bennett remarked , " Oh , I ' ve left a little bit of hair under your chiiii and now I'll give you the-finishing 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 iu a stream , to the great terror and alarm of tho 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 tho arteries were divided , and the effusion of blood was immense . Mr . Campbell , the surgeon of the regiment , who was fortunately immediately in attendance , Bewed up the wouad , 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 bo fit to resume his military duties .

      Dreadful and Fatal Railway Accident . — On Sunday afternoon a man , 11 a . mod William Deacon , aged twe * nty-nve 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 man was at work on the joint 1 lines of the Greenwich , Dover , Groyden , and Brighton Railways , situate near the Neckingor Spa roadi Bermondsey , when the usaal signal was given of an approaching down train , in order that those at work should timely got out of the way . The deceased jupon hearing it moved from off the line , but . ia what was termed a sluggish manner , when jastat 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 whioh it was running , and the step of the

      engine struck him , and he was kuocked down . The engineer , ' upon set ing 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 bowels were protruding upon the ground . He was placed in one of tho railway carriages and conveyed to the terminus at London-bridge , and from thence to the above hospital . Mr . Aston Kay , 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 waa 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 . Atmer , the celebrated American VaOltkr .- —This unfortunate man , whoso recent performance at the English Opera , under the management of Van Amburgh , excited so much admiration in his peculiar department , mat 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 . Tbe particular performance for whioh

      Mr . Aymer was announced coaoluded 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 hiB liberality can effect on the melancholy occasion . Smith , ajgreat trampoline and vaulter , met his death in a manner precisely similar daring the management of Messrs . Duorow and West , at Astley ' s , some seasons back .

      Fatal - Accidens —On Saturday night , between nine and ten o ' clock , another experiment With Robinson ' B night signal for shipping , was made from a ekiff on the river off the St . Katherine ' a-dook , Which , we regret to state , was attended with the loss of one life , and ! several others had a most miraculous escape . It appears that during tho experimental trials , some of the combustible materials of which the signal is made , and whioh 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 whoso name we have sot be able to ascertain ) with great difficulty saved from drowning . The skiff , which belonged to a waterman named M'Niel , was almost wholly d < stroyed . The body of the lad who perished has not yet been fouud . :

      The Blood . —To a person ; who has at all studied the organization of the human system , the circulation of the blood will necessarily appear one of its most interesting and essential principles . When we reflect , tor 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 oat intoja 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 principlo in man . "

      What the sap is to the tree , the blood is to the animal frame ; land inasmuch as ihe strength and verdure of a tree are dependant upon the moisture derived from the root , the health and vigour of the body are indtapens-ibly connected with a pure aud free circulation of this important fluid . It is this , that , must feed th 9 flame of existence ; and unless its replenishments are freely and purely communicated , the vital fire becomes clouded , —bums dimly—and ultimately is extinguished . In this light , and in this light alore , did the jVenerable i'arr , ( theJmessenger of health and longevity , ) regard the important offiae of this essential fluid ; and this , as a consequence led him to attend in an especial degree to the beet means for its constant freedom and purity . Nature , it is said , has furnished a remedy for every ill ; and certainly , in

      tbe useful researches of Old Parr , this sentiment is Btrikingly borne out . By a jeloso , careful , and assiduous 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 bipod ; and , as a natural consequence , every purpose of a healthful , and prolonged ! existence . Had the life of Parr extended only toUhe ordinary limits of mankind , then , indeed , there might have been some reason for questioning the pretended virtues of his medicine ; bnt when we find that the day 3 of this self practitioner were such as to call forth mention in historical records , what are weia 9 reasonablebeings ' , to do but acquiesce in the belief of the essential and infalliable benefit derivable from that invaluable discovery , now so veil known as Parr ' s Life Pills .

Mr . Higgins . jon the part of Mr , Brew , declined lo call any wifnesses , conceiving the inquiry

After the lapse of that ' interval they came into ] their box , and handed in a verdict to the effact-j" That the deceased had received a mortal gun-shot wound , inflicted by some one of a party of police acting under the command of Mr .

The jury further found that the said Tomkins Brew , anil the party then and there acting , were guilty of wilful murder . "

I Robert Taylor , a man who has been running about the country representing himself as a son of Lord Kennedy , showini a will entitling him t » 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 pies of insanity . He is supposed to have married seven or eight women , is only twenty one , and is most repulsive in personal appearance .

      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 at the very moment that a oart , laden very heavily with stones , was passing ; unconsciously , as it seemed , tho chili ran under the shaftB of the cari—between the hind leys of the horse and the cart-wheels . 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 jthe 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 succeeeded in stopping'it on tho instant , and both parent and offspring were saved . —Hull Paper :. Thb lath Suicide at Bristol . —Further

      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 timo by ivory turning 5 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 kis stomach , with a mallet , about an inch and a half , and afterwards a smaller one about four inches ; and then thrust in at ihe second placa a dart that had tcoth cut on two sides of it , for a float . This he passed into his heart . Two of the inmates arrived juatas the deed was done , and the dart had fallen out on to the floor . The deceased was then eat down , resting against his lathe- in the workshop .

      Shocking Accidents . —A very shocking accident took placo on Friday last , at Bracy Bridge Mill , Lowthorpe , near Driffiold . On the forenoon of thai day a person was engaged killing rats in the mill , and a dog had killed ] a considerable number in a coraer under the arch of tho stream turning the water-wheel whioh partly revolved 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 tbe 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 j the wheel , and his flesh dread ' ully rent and torn from his thigh , so that h s life was despaired of from the first . The name of the unfortunate man who thus so dreadfully lost his life was Paul Storey , who was highly respected , and has left a window and four children . Theother young man had lately gone t ' p his situation , and came from the neighbourhood of Scarbro ' , but his name we da not know . An inquest was held on the body on the

      same day , and a verdict of " Accident Death" was returned . It is reported that the other man died on Sunday last . —On the same day , a youth in the service of Mr . Jewiaon , of Raisthorpe , farmer , was driving a waggon down a hill , near Finober , when the drag chain broke j and in his attempt to hold the horses , he was thrown down on the road . The wheels of the waggon passed over his leg and thigh and along the whole length of his body , and over his head . His leg and [ thigh were broken , the knee crushed to a mummy ; his collar bone was also broken , and his body and head were dreadfully crushed and lacerated .

The sales of Oatmeal have been on the most limited scale .

With the

      exception of Oatmeal , of which the imports from Ireland consists of 5 , 071 loads , the arrivals at Liverpool and Runcorn are unimportant ; and the supplies of Flour from the interior are rather diminishing .
