Repeal Society and Irish Confederation—O’ Connell— Crops—Grain Arrivals—Fever—Election Business, $e., Hea, $e. ‘The mail leaves this evening at 5—I anticipate Mon- day's letter to give the latest matters on dit. At the meeting of the Old ‘Ireland repealers, at Conciliation, last Monday, there was but a very poor attendance ine deed; though there were four M. P.’s present, doubtless, with an eye tothe coming elections. Mr. M. O°Con- nell, who occupied the chair, eulogised the character and parliamentary conduct of Mr. Somers, representa- tive for Sligo. The voice of this gentleman scarcely ever had been heard in the House of Commons. and he had ever been more distinguished for skill at the betting table, and asa duellist, than for distinguished parlia- mentary ability. Mr. J. Reynolds reiterated an oft re- fated assertion, that Mr. G. Duffy, of the Nation, had voted for the conservative candidate, Mr. Kinahan, at the corporation election. The denial of the same state- ment by Mr. Duffy before, was not even alluded to. The rent of the week amounted to £85. ‘The Irish Confede- ration met in the Music Hall on Thursday evening; the place was densely crowded. Mr. Meagher alluded to at- tempts to put down or aunoy their meetings, by mob violence, and showed their inutility and impoteney Mr. Mitehell, in enforcing the necessity of returning proper representatives at the coming elections, was set forth t various bills brought for- ward in the previous session, of measures most benefi- cial to Ireland, beginning with Lord G. Bentinck’s rail- ver bill, and the Irish fisheries bill, in which Irish, 80 called liberal and repeal members, had been found in the majority of the ministry. On the separation of the mevting, the principal speakers were greeted by a mob of nearly 5000 people, assembled outside; but « breach of the peace was prevented by the presence of a strong posse of police Some strange, inexplicable mistake existe with regard to the proceedings connected with the funeral of Mr. O'Connell. The Oriental and Peninsular Steam Com- peny had munificently given one of their vessels to con- vey his remains to bis native land. By agreement, ao- cordingly, the Montrose was despatched to Genoa; but after remaining there for a considerable time, in conse- quence of the non-arrival of Dr. Miles aud Mr. O'Con- uell’s son, from Rome, the vessel had to leave without effecting the object of her voyage, The circumstance has excited considerable wonder at Genoa, and the re- mains of Mr. O'Connell as stated in the morning papers, are not expected to reach Dublin until the 3d of Sep- tember. In my next I will be able to give more accurate intelligence. It is also this morning stated that no po- litical distinctions are to be made ut the funeral. Com- bining both facts it they can be relied upon, the tactics seem to be changed, and the former course of proceed. for the present, abandoned, because too palpuble to very, or Universally imposing The crops stilt wear thy most charming and promising appearance. ‘There is now little doubt of a good har ost in this country. Yesterday was St. Swithin duy,and «1 passed with one slight shower in the eveniug. This is indicative. uocording to traditionary faith, of the con- inuance of tine weather The prices are beginning to tailhere in the Dublin grain market, accordingy, though che decline still iy so trifling and fuctuating,as tu render t almost unnecessary to vary from former quotations Provisions continue sill to arrive at the xeveral ports; & vessel bolonging to Mr, Delany, Sligo, with a cargo of breadstuffs trom New York, was boarded off Benmuliet by a large party of people in boats. and 300 bags of In- dian corn carried off—the vessel had previously been be- calmed, but ona breeze springing up seven person: were left in the hold, and on the arrival of the vessel at her destination, were delivered over to the authorities Fever, in most localities, continues as last. In ork, however, Dr. Beamiss stated at agate meeting that fever was there diminishing, and the new cases ocour- ing were of @ milder character. A cargo of paupers reached Cork from Liverpool—according to statements, most of them out of the fever hospitals. ‘Thisis the first step in the execution of some new poor law regulations. It 1s supposed that for some time 1200 daily will be ship- ped over tolreland, and the Liverpool Mercury speaks with pleasure of the enfercement of such measures. In fact, between taxes, restrictions, and recriminations, matters are not assuming the most conciliatory form between the people, so long united on both sides of the channel. At a meeting of the Fermoy board of guardians lately, warrants were handed in from Mr. Secretary Redington, ordering. the Board ‘te pey to pay the finance committee £850, the first instalment of the relief expenditure, and a similar one every follow- ing Tuesday for twelve weeks, say about £10,490 within three montbs; and in his place in the House the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer declared the money would be required in small sums, and the payment, as far as pos- sible, enforced, the possibility of such payment remain- ing still a question to be solved, and will doubtless be productive of greater exasperation of feeling, and per- haps more permanent effects, than ever Lord John Rua- sell anticipated, when he allowed, contrary to all warnings and remonstrances, the m: be squander- ed uselessly, In Limerick there ha' en six failures, to the amount of 300.000 pounds, yet the pressure in mo- ney is beginning to diminish, the Bank of Ireland hay- ing reduced the interest on English bills to 6 per eent, and on Irish to 634. A destructive insect has appeared a Indian corn, which heated in the stores. The Cork Constitution states. these insects are spreading in the neighboring country, and threaten to be indigenious, Other state- ments inention that they have appeared in corn brought from the neighborhood of the Black Sea. They are a disagreeable importation, as they sting, aud prove other- wise troublesome. ‘Yhe exhibition of Irish manufactures closed yesterday. On walking through the long galleries of the Society House, where the show took place, one could not but be struck with pleasure, at the numerous specimens of Irish manufacture and invention,which dis ged equal be skill and ability in design and execution. wos the attention of our gentry and people directed,and this country, that the faet of our owm producing such res- pectabie productions, was looked upon with surprise, as they deserved admiration. The events of the last year have done much to promote the growth of nation- al feelings. The children of the Hibernia military school, attended with their band of fifes and drum, and their healthy and orderly appearance, drew the eyes of ail on them. Mr. G. A. Hamilton Smith, member for the Dublin University, stated some nights since, in the House of Commons, that by means of a communication between the Archbishop of Armagh and the Bishop of London, the rule has been annulled, which forbade Irishmen to be ordained clergymen of the established church in the diocese of the latter functionary. Such a rule never should have been in existence. A Leitrim correspondent states, that the voters in that county have diminished from 2,200 to about 600, by death and emigration.- ‘Those remaining are, generally, according to the sume, of conservative principles. Alderman Meagher, father of the eloquent youn; Irelander, stands as a candidate for the representation o! Waterford, in opposition to Mr. McTavish, the Concilia- tion Hall candidate. Mr. T. MoCullogh, one of the castle under secretaries, has started for the representation of Dundalk. ‘bis is supposed by the Dublin Evening Packet a8 another indication that the Chesham st. agree ment between the Premier and the Old Irelanders is at end; but there are so many ways of playing at the game of thimble rigging, that no definite judgment be, as yet, formed. If John O'Connell becomes power he wili be despised— ifotherwise,the whigs will make any overtures and sacrifices to him. The repeal and con- servative electors of Youghal have coalesced for the pur- pose of voting against a whig. The Ennistown enquiry, regarding tne conduct of one of the government officers, with some of the local magistracy, has cost £20,000,— This is a specimen of the way money is spent here. — Trade is improving in Belfast—it has been dull for the last three months. Several flax mills have commenced again working. ‘he Wicklow copper mines have paid a dividend of 10 per cent for the last year. Government are forming a Jepot for convicts at Spike Island, Cork, to be employed there in local works. ‘I'he presb: terians of the North are allowed by government four professors for the edu- cation of their clergy, under the new college act. A few Orange Pp ns took place on the 12th, which termi- nated without any disturbance. Mr. Caleraft, leases of the Dublin Theatre, is to take @ benefit on the 24th. Agricultural Insurance in England, Theexistence, in the provinces, of local clubs for the mutual insurance of cows, long before the establishment of more elaborately constituted agriculturist assurance companies, sufficiently dieproves the silly charge that the farmers, as abody, have betrayed a gross indiffer- ence to their own interests. That they have been ani- mated by # totally different reeling, all who have any knowledge of them will readily allow They have ever evinced a meritorious anxiety for the advancement of husbandry, but have, unfortunately, lacked those ready and economical means which are within the reach of other classes. The mere establishment of these little mutual assistance societies, is evidence of their activity of intellect, and of their readiness to avail themselves of the social advantages of the age. Burke was # tolerable judge of hurnan character, and he frequently declared ‘that the farmers were, on the score of intelligence, greatly belied and calumuiated body. He attributed to them shrewdness and discernment of no ordinary nature; and those who have mixed with, and are intimate with them, will, without hesitation, bear witness to the value and correctness of the prophet-statesman’s estim We know something about them, and are prepared at any moment to contend that for shrewdness and sagacity they are not, excelled by 4 other olass in seciety The truth is, that it hasbeen fashimable to decry them; they have been targets for the paper pellets of the satirist and the fiction-menger; and the town classes catching the tone, have become insensibly inoculate. with the be- Nef that stupidity dwells in the country, and wisdom in the towns and cities. ‘I'his ver; sentable ‘sree is sont disappearing, and an enlight appreciation of one of the Weulllieat aud most important’ bodies. in soclety ae its place. It is now aj nt to all who have capacity to deal with the subject, that the isolated oats tion of the farmer has been spe | against bim, and thet ithe had possessed the means oi Savrenee and of centralization that have long been within the reach of he would have equalled, if not ex- Hy fw gee id Cec! and in is appreciation of arts, sclences, and social regu- lath which are the children of olvilization. Had the farmer's sosial position been on spar with that of the merchant, thé +, and the tradesman, he would, ‘and years ago, have availed himself of the protection and security which the principle of assurance affords. ‘To imagine the reverse would be absurd, for the supposition would be eloquently contradicted by the alacrity with which he grasps at the advant held out to him by the few agricultural assurance vatlotiee af Present established. Cattle assurance has progressed rapidly within the last few years, and bids fair in a very short ‘time to rival in amount that long practised { France and Belgium. The local and com ly in- efficient cow clubs are being rapidly aban for the more safe and economical, because more extensive, system adopted by several large proprietary and mutual agricultural assurance offices. All descriptions of live stock are now insured. and that toso great an extent that the insurances effected in # single office amount to millions of pounds in a xear. | And no wonder, when we learn from that invaluable work McQueen’s ‘' Statistics Scrappers at the enormous value of the live ni ingdom. It appears that there are 2.250.000 horses, of the total value of £67,000,000, of which more than 1,500,000 are used in agriculture, and that their value is £45,000.000. The number of black cattie’ nt Le kingdomies bout 14,000,000 told “e490, of the value of £216.000,000; the numberof sheep 2,5 0,000, whose yaluo is estimated at 467,000,000; and the extent of capital invested in swine is still more extraordinary, when we reflect how jittle it is thought upon or taken into account. The number of pigs of all ages, breeding and rearing, is calculated to be upwards of 18,000,000, which, taking one-third at £2 each, and the remainder at 108 each, {ibe} @ value of £15,870,000 as the capital invested in pigs alone, making the total amount of capital invested in the above species of agricultural stock £346,270,000. If to this we add the annual value of the crops, the capital in the hands of the farmers in the shape of live stock and the produce of the earth, cann rats computation, be estimated at less than six hundred millions of pounds. So vast a sum, such s gigantic amount of wealth, is surely deserving of the most care- ful and provid nt management; it is too great, too im- portant to the interests and safety of the community to be sported with; and it is with no small gratification that we know the farmers thought so along time since, aud endeavoured, by all the means in their power, to give totheir possession of so much property perma- nent and unfluctuating character. They have protected themselves from the vile incendiary by assuring against fire; from storms, tempests, and hail. by ineurfog their crops; and lastly, but not leastly, have applied the prin- ciple of life assurance to their live farming stock. ‘The latter species of insurance we consider of the utmost importance to the agricultural interest, for the ravages of disease amongst cattle may by that means be ar- rested No provision but a compensatory one can be made for the damage crops may sustain’ from storms and tempests; but the prevalence of cattle assurance will necessarily cause inquiries to be instituted into the ori- gin of disease, and \ead not only to steps being taken to effect a cure, buta prevention of such disease.

An Analysis of Character at Saratoga—A Grand Ball atthe U S$ Hotel God has been munificent to Saratoga; the blood and ashes of hecatombs of forgotten dead, whose turn to die has ceme before mine, fatten the pregnant earth upon which | stand; from these offals, nature has sucked nour- ishment, and she appears before me in a million wild and solemn and sublime forms. Men in the enjoyment of these glorious gifts, are only like intractable children, who quarrel about the division of something which their noble father has given them , the clild who gets most is esteemed most fortunate, and that one who is content with nothing, because he would rath r have nothing than be # competitor in the angry struggle, or because he is too weak to be successful, is henceforth accursed and an outcast. But men is not iron nor adamant ; his fine temper may be moulded into any beautiful shape that fancy can suggest; he will, therefore, triumph even yet; he will be ransomed, and in a century whese confines are not far distant,a brignter morning will Jawn upon Christendom than ever there has since Adam’s ejectment. | promised lately to write an apalysie of the various characters who come here annually to remain » quarter ofa year, in the very midst of this rural realization of all that the finest fancy can desire. Many go from here to Niagara, wnd return again embrowned and swartby, many have lately returned. ‘The hotels are now full, and ‘the season has reached its altitude; it is at the height of its grandeur and glory. Amid such a masa of rich materials and subjects as are gathered here, it would be impossible to particularize, or to give an analysis of any {dividual character Every season hundreds of adventusers or fortune bun- ters, come to Saratoga from Europe, from the islands which border the United States coast, and from all parts ot this Union— probably the majority of these adventur- ers are men (some of them are elegant looking men, who cultivate moustaches and superfluous hair several weeks before the season opens, in the belief, probably, that a profusion of this article will improve their person al appearance) —but herein lies no imputation upon any gentleman who wears a mustache. Many of these ad- venturers are lovely women (mysoginists) who travel hundreds of miles alone to Saratoga, and who occupy se- cluded apartments at the botels turers are astute an These levely adven cunning in their address and de- forts to procure a rues ulliance with some victim millionaire, they act from # certain system which has been previously digested, and which they al- ways observe with precision in the most casual inter- course, They love intrigue, (and all women love it;) they are often successful, aud t also often fail I shall not bt the legitimacy or propriety of the conduct of these ly creatures; the ma ringe, in the pursuit of whieh they exhibit great talent, and sometimes geuius, often its happily [have regarded these women, whoure frequently angelic (except the wings) with scrutiny, im order to uderstaud them perfectly; sowe of them are superb how ewomen, and | have scen them in the early ning. with the hue of boundiug health in their ks and with fire in (heir eyer, uc Wuted upon tho- rough bred horses; Uhey woud at (hw Derby or an Enghsh fox bunt, aud if We horse was right they wouid b the purse, of be iu at the death, | have also seen them in very close carriages, in attiiudes of devotion to somebody upon the frout seat.

Such are they, mon enfant, and we will have done with them for the prerent. ‘That other class of adventurers, the men, to whom I have alluded, sre commonly called parvenues; they are a.mediey of hardware clerks, poetasters, fleeing orphans, and gentlemen. Some of them give didactic leotures, and some of them are professors of various arts; they may be seen at every ball, every private party. and at overy ride or promenade; they are punctual in their at- tendance at church, but they go in late; many of them display a great deal of taste in their equipages and horses, among which are several nonparells, ‘The great object, that of marrying a rich wife, is not forgotten, but ix Kept constantly ip view; in the pursuit of this object their advantages are not proportioned to those of their cotemporaries of the softer sex, because woman, wherever she may be, is uncontrollable and untrammelied, 60 long as she is esteemed. But these gentlemen often succeed. and here is laid the foundation of many an after union haappiness. T have thus briefly described one claas or department of society at Saratoga; in description of the other classes, hereafter, I nay go more into detail. ‘A ball, which’ was quite as magnificent, (except the dress bali) as any that will occur here during the season, was given last night in the vast bul chambre of this hotel the invitations were general, and there were numerous attendances from all the hotels. | am charmed at the simple elegance of American women whenever | am able to detect it, but lam horrified at their extrasrdinar madness in compressing their waists in ® manner whi makes their existence a penance and @torture Ah, these mothers; these American mothers, who make their sons cousin-germans to the titmouses, and who make dry automata of their daughters. This fashion is « late importation, and it was not w bequest of the Ameri- can mothers of the last century. But the ball—a hundred alabaster lamps diffused their beams through that immense hall; there might hi been a hundred betrothm to be behind military of women; phenomena in their prime;their devotion has given them 8 fame,in which the entire army has shared; this reputa- tion for gallantry in the tented field aud in courts, was fully sustained by the army officers who were nt, and who appeared in full uniform. Scott need, therefore, have no apprehension for the army at home, when it is in the hands of such representatives. | wish that the love of woman could not be concentra- ted upon anything tangible, but that it’s genial purity and sweetness might be directed toward every aniina\ being alike—there are a few of them who are angels of merey, who visit the sick poor, and who devote their lives to the giving of alms ‘The bail went on—it was most brilliant, and the com pany was larger than at any previous ball) the program me Of incidents, including the pyramids of dessert which were circulated at intervals, need not be recapitulated to-day, in a more elaborate manner, and the descriptive programme must be condensed and contracted into a single sentence—it was a counterpart of some of those fine Ss that are given diurnally at the French cap- ital during the fashionable season Robert 1, Morris is here. There is a yery strong probability that Ledy Suffolk and some other quick horses will come here on the 14th of August next, to contend for the purse which the pro. prietors of this excellent course have lately offered.
