fruit. 1t was a great gathering, whether measured
by Its respectability or its intellect. The old tree
trade orators were there-the guests, Golden,
Bright. Fox and the greatest merchant In the world
Mr.. William Brown, the representative OF the great
American house of that name in Liverpool The
speeches present little in the way of novelty, but they
were exultlng-a proof that the speakers think their
cause Is progressing. Mr.. Golden, the father OF the
tree trade movement and man of commanding
talent, spoke well, but looked i'll indeed, the
sltutlon OF this gentleman, at all times feeble, APP
pears TO be crumbllng away rapidly under the wear
and tear of too active intellect His friends have
fears tor his health and considering the rapid strides
which, in comparatively brief period, Mr. Golden
has made,


"Amongst the foremost men Of all the world
by the unaided force of his own genius--without
wealth, without STATEN, without even prepossess
ing exterior accompanied by an utter absence Of all
jealousy the part of his contemporaries al his ex-
traordinary rlse-every lover OF the lndomitaoie
must greve at the bare prospect OF so bright hight

very distant, but "comingevents cast their shadows
before"


The hostility to the new colleges in Ireland has
not ceased. 1t Is now finally determined that Gal
way Is to have one, Cork another, and Belfast the
third. Some names are before the public as having
been appointed to the directorshp OF the latter es
tablishment, but It is useless to repeat them here
as some uncertainty hangs about the correctness OF
The various and conflicting statements. Professor
Kane, It Is officially stated, has been presented
with the Presidency of Cork college, and Dr.
Kirwan with that of Galway The first Is Roman
Catholic layman, the other dignitary of that
church. The appointments, by all who wish well
TO the coleges-all who think that mixed educa-
ton IN that land of dlssenslon will soften secarlan
hostllities, and bring out the more humanizing
traits of the national characterize considered
udicious and excellent But they have been fierce
ly assailed by both extremes OF opinlon-by the
Orangemen on the one hand and the Repealers OIL
the other Mr. OConne has publicly expressed
his surprise that DR.. Kirwan should have accepted
the appointment of the Galway institution. Neither
OF the gentlemen have been before the public In the
character OF professional agators; and as respects
their that of the clergyman has
been assaed--there seems no reason to doubt that
they will be found fully equal to the duties of the
stations and II seems equally clear, that the god
less scheme of education is likely to survive the
senseless clamors by which 1t has been attacked.


IreIand.s;g:s5 gyssagnes~,
The Government Commissioners have made a
second report to the Lieutenant on the state
| of the potato crop. They reject as impracticabe
converting the diseased potatoes TO some use-ln
the application, acids, alkals and lime, have tended
to accelerate the process of decomposlton-bu the
experiments with lime are not decided. While
slightly Affected and after boiling steamng, the
potato may be used tor food but not when the ROOT
has acquired disagreeable smell


In third report the Commissioners give very Ella
borate and minute directions as to the best way o



gestlons are not novel; and what s peculiar to then
is chiefly of local character.


The following letter from the Prime Minister t,
Lord Cloncurry the chairman of the Mansion Hous,

lister, will command attention at the present mo
ment. Sir Roberts reply, which cites the speclf
suggestions submitted to him by the Committee, !

REpEAI..--The meeting OF the Repeal association
on the Sd inst. was stale, fiat and unproftabe "
Mr.. O'Connell and most OF the other speakers
touched upon the potato disease, the most practc II
| suggestions respecting which came from Mr. SIN h
O'Brien, who desired, by letter, that prize might
be offered by the association for the best means If
9ssS 9s6s '''' '''' 40 'e'' ~ Us W." :
Mr.. Smith O'Bren made his first appearance,
| after long absence at the Repeal Association, on
the 10th instant. He strongly censured the conduct
of tn Lord Lieutenant as well as of the Britt h
government, In the matters OF the potato crop
talked vaorously of the Irish people exactng their
| own terms, when Great Britain became embarrassed
with foreign powers, and attacked the new colleges
bitterly, as well as the late appointments In the
midst of this harangue, Mr.. O'Bren appealed to the
monster meetings as proving that the people of Ire
land would never abandon repeal, although the pc
pie OF England said that II must be suppressed.


There were two ways of doing so: one by obvl4-
ting the evils OF the union, which he invited ae
English Parliament to attempt; the other, a step
tor which he and they were prepared-coercioa.
Already had the bloodhounds OF the English pre So
been haooed on against the people Of Ireland AS
TO that step, 81 tell them said Mr.. O'Bren, "tiat
defy them. "-Qmmense applause, in the midst of
which a loud voice cried" France and Ameri-
cay


Mr. O'Conne-" What was that What were
man may be put out" (Cries of "Turn him out |"
during which the man was turned out) Mr..
O'Connell explained, that he had interrupted lis
friend, because he knew there were spies abroad.
There had been pee pie distributing handbills in the
north part of Dublin ncitng the Peopleto assassine
their landlords, which had been forwarded to the
Castle by Mr.. Atkins, but no attempt had yet been
made by the magistracy or constabulary to ARE st
the persons who had been circulating them.
