Frances did not speak, she saw it 5 but, the time had scarcely come for ,her to inquire particulars about his mysterious relation. Ere Mr. Castonel had well recovered his equanimity, they flew by another gate, ana tliere, peeping only, and concealing herselt as much as possible, rose tho pale, sad face ot Mary Shipley. Mr. Castonel drew back again. Frances spoke now. .. 1(< Gervaso ! Mary Shipley was hiding her self at that gate; peeping otus. How strange! :Didyou see her /” «My dearest, no, I see but you.

[From the Celt.] Bpon the second of August, 1776, fifty-seven bold and resolute men signed the charter of America’s liberty. . Tho names and memory of those men will live as; long as history endures. Amongst them with the descendants of many European States. Of the total number, seven, or just one-eighth of tho entire;held Irish blood in their veins. Throe of ihem were born in Ireland, and tho othor four wore the sons of Irish fathers. And of those men, there was one, whose property, risked by his signature, would have made a sovereign’s income. An Irishman may justly fed proud that his countrymen so largely participated in that great event, and identified themselves unmistakably in that’ movement, whioh was not rebellion, because it did not fail, but was glorious revolution beoauso it did succeed. A rebellion of which tho great Chatham B&id in his place in Parliament, “I hoar it said that America is obstinate, America is almost in open irdjdUoh. I rejoice that America has re sisted. Threo millions of people so dead to all tbo feelings of liberty as voluntary to submit to be slaves, would have been fit instruments to make 'Stores of ourselves.” Tho three Irishmen were George Taylor, James Smith, and Matthew Thornton. Tho four sons of Irishmen wore Edward Rutledge, ThomasM. ICoan. George Rond and Charles Carroll. Tho last n&mcu died at noarly ono hundred years of ago, having outlived all the othor fifty-six. , Some particulars of theso seven men must be interesting to Irishmen. George Taylor was tho son of an Irish clergyman; ho was born in Irolaud in tho year 1716. Thu immediate locality of his birth is unknown; he was brought up for the medical profession, and well educated, butubandonod physio and went out au adventurer to America, 110 reached that country with perfectly empty pockets, and had to resort to manual lnbor for hi« support at the ironworks of Mr. Savage) at Durham, on tho Dol&ware, where his occupation was to cost coals into the furnace while in blast, but ho speedily mounted from such fearful labor into the counting-house of his em ployer, and upon the death of Mr. Savage, ho. bo come the proprietor of the works by marrying his widow, 110 was now able to purchase on estato in the county of Northampton. In 1763 ho was elected a member of the Provincial Assembly which mot at. Philadelphia, where he attracted considerable attention as an aotivo member of com mittees and an earnest worker of that stormy period. . Tho state into which his fortunos had oast him was at that time remarkable fur inclining more than any other to British union. For six years ho continued a member of tho. Assembly, when his fortune becoming injured, he returned to Durham to repair it. In 1775 he was again elected a mem ber of-the provincial assembly in Pennsylvania. Matters were becoming hourly more serious, and Pennsylvania felt that the crisis of liberty was ar riving. Tho ossombly therefore -iustruoted their delegates to the national convention in tho follow ing touching and solemn words: “ The happiness of theso colonies hns, during the whole courso of this fatal controversy, been ourfirst wish. ; Thoir reconciliation with Groatßritaio our next; ardently have we prayed for both. Butif we must renounoe the one ior the other, Arc humbly trust in tho mercies of tbe Supremo Governor of -the Universe, that wo shallAot stand condemned before his throne, if our choice is determined by that overruling tow of self-preservation, which his divino wisdom has thought fit to implant in tho hearts of his creatures.” ' ' The delegates from Pennsylvania were nine in number, and on the Fourth of July, when tho con* vention declared for liberty, four of tho nine yotod for Great Britain, and against tho declaration. Upon the 20th of July, there was a now eleotion of delegates; the men who voted against liberty were not re-elected, George Taylor was eleoted a new delegate in place of one of them. Thus showing by public vote their approval of tho declaration, aba their high appreciation of Taylor’s lovo of liberty, and of his integrity. Ho now entered the CoDgress ride by side with the great Franklin, another of tbe Pennsylvania delegates, and with him signed the Declaration of Amerioan Indepen dence upon the 2d of August, when the entire fifty aevon delegates affixed their signatures, the first rough draft having boon signed with the name of John Hancock only, he being President. George Taylor retired from public lire in 1777. He settled at Boston, where he died on the 23d of February, 1781, in the sixty-sixth year of bis age. Ho left after him an only daughter, who never married, so that his family has no living representative at . the present day in that country, but there it will bo remembered for ever. Surely it should be re membered in Ireland too. James Smith was born in Ireland, somewhere before tho year 1720. His father was an Irish farmer, who emigrated to America and settled on the west side of the Susquehanna: James re ceived a good education as a civil engineer, then called surveyor, but be finally studied law, be came a lawyer, and settled in tho town of York At the commencement of the great struggle be tween England and America, ho entered with great determination into the contest, and became early an advocate for separation. In 1774 a moot ing of delegates were assembled from all tho counties of Pennsylvania. James Smith was a delegate from York, and having been appointed one of a commit too to prepare a draft of instruc tion to the, General Assembly, the meeting had to consider the question of abstaining from importing goods from England, and many in this Stnto were desirous that tho contest should he arranged with out on appeal to arms; bat Smith was of a different opinion, and suiting the action to his feelings, he reused a .volunteer company in the neighborhood of York, of which he was immediately eleoted cap tain; and Smith’s company was the first corps en rolled in Pennsylvania to oppose with arms tho soldiery of Great Britain. When this company expanded into the siio of a regiment, ho was mode itscolonol. In January, 1705, when tho provinoo wss oon veiled, he wss a party in that Convention to re solve, ‘ at ovoiy hazard the deforid tho rights and liberties of Americaand the' remsrkablo doola ralion Hum drawn np for tho 1 Convention was the joint production of three men, Bush, a native American; Smith, an Irishman; and M’Kesn, tho son of on Irishman. That declaration, amongst other remarkable passages, contained this beid one— * and whereas, the obligations of allegiaueo, (being reciprocal between a king and bis subjects,) aro now dissolved on tho sido ot the colonists, by tho despotism of tho said king; insomuoh that it now appears that loyalty to him, is treason against the goad people of this colony. Smith was now elected a meuibor of tho Conven tion, and by tho ’Convention a membor of Con gress. ' De signed tho Declaration of Indepcndunoo on the 2d of August, and eontinuud a member of Congress until 1778; In the November of that year he retired into private life, aud to tho practice of his profession. He died in tho_ year 1800. How much of tho Irish oharaotor is visible in the state ment iuado by his American biographer Goodrich: '■ He always entertained Btrong anticipations -of success during tho revolutionary struggle, and by his oheorfatness poworfully contributed to dispot tho despondency which he Baw around him.” Beef Packing In Chicago—The Prospect tor ■he Season. (From the Chicago Press, August 29.] ' In some of tho most reiiabie Eastorn journals we find speculative estimates as to tho price of oattle tho presont fall—predieted for tho most part upon contracts said to nave beon made by beef psekers in tho West, and more especially those of Chicago We bare taken tho trouble to make some investi gations, the substance of which wo append. -Tho prospects at present are that more boef will bo packed - the coming season in our city than during any provious year. One honvy paokcr osti inotes the business at one-third more than the figures of 1855—our heaviest season.. Another estimates it higher. In 1855 tbo number of cuttle packed was 28,912, with an average weight of 572 i lbs. per head; so that to take tho lowest re ceived. over 33,009 head will be packed. Ono house alone In the city has government contracts which wuuld seem to justify such an estimate. At present thoro ore only about 17,000 head con tracted fur by Chiougo packers, bat in the course of two weeks a large number of contraots now pending will in all probability bo elosed, and these figures very limob increased. Of those already contracted for, we hear of 9,000 head ot 3} oeuta. gross weight; 2.500 head at 3 cents, and 3,000 hood at a triflo below 3 cents. Thoro is little probabili ty, however, of, any further oontracts being made this season below 31—perhaps Bone below 31. The* quality and weight of oattlo tho presont season throughout tho West will bo much superior to those of last year, though they will come to tho Mock three or four weeks later. Last year grass was poor and wntor scarce, and the average freight was low. This season, however, though it npouod unusually late, has beon an excellent ono for the growth of eattlo. The grasses on uur prairios aro rich,.and water haa beon abundant. An old dro ver informs us that oattle of tho saino bone will generally weigh fifty pounds more per head than lust season. One pucker has contracted for 1600 head, nono of which are to weigh less .than 000 pounds. A tournament oamo off at Orknoy Springs. Vn„ on Thursday, the 20th of August.
