      U My Dear ftuuurf , I dar I daresay many © fjouaaveneara the cannons jariwoarfogj aad the bells pealing forth their chimes S i ° y ^ T ° y » * ° ^ el , rate * hrutal massacre of thouands sands of your order who had heedlessly hired j , emsAemselves to shed human blood , to uphold tyant ijant role . Now , won't that be a fairy tale in a p sry ( f e iryears , when I shall have locatedsome thousands jgnds upon the land , whom no power on earth could jould induce to become murderers ? Who will then then , believe that men who coald earn 10 s . a "

      day day by honest industry , IF ALLOWED , isete were compelled to turn human butchers to earn a liv ( livelihood ? Oi On Saturday , the 1 st o . JMay , who will be the erea greatest conqueror that has yet appeared in & e i % e field of glorv ? Who has ever said , " Look joui round ' , behold " my victory in the peoples ssni smiles ! " —No one ; it has ever been manifest in t in the howls of the wounded , the groans of the dy i dying , the tears of the widow , and the sobs ot the the orphan . On Saturday , May the 1 st , eve every bell in England should peal forth notes of i of jw , and every working man should sing a sot song of gladness , because the path to Freedom

      wi ! will have been opened , and the prize at the en end easy of acquirement . I say , that there B £ never was such a day for England and th e vi world as the 1 st May , 1847 , will hej and that th the beginning which will then be made will sap , ai and undermine , and overthrow the whole edi-{( ice of Corruption , Monopoly , and Misrule . At fa twelve o ' clock on that day your brethren will b ] ie each put in possession of his estate for el ever ; and when that hour arrives , you may e ) guppose what my pride— -my pardonable pride J .-will be .

      While quacks are devising means to perpetuate ignorance by a false system of education , and while economists , who cannot employ vou three hours a day , are grumbling at limiting the labour of ramie * and little children to TEN HOURS A DAY , 1 am trying to INDUCE you to work fifteen hours a day while young , that you may rest when you are old . I shall sleep at Herringsgate on Saturday night , and , as I promised to toll the School bell even on Sunday morning , that I may have the satisfaction of hearing all my children , old and young , exclaim , "DAMN THE FACTORY BELL ! " your feelings will be the best answer to my accusers , and the opponents of the plan , when you sit down in your own house , from which no tyrant can hunt you ; and

      when you are located , you and your children , and your children ' s children—if I shall live to see my great-grandchildren—shall ever be the chief objects of mv every care land thought ; and I WON ' T ROB YOU , neglect you , or diminish your store of happ iness ; but I will work the harder to assist the needy , as I would sorrow greatly if any lost the nest 1 buiHf for him and his family . Wishing that we may have a fine day , as many friends are coming from all parts of the country to witness the novel spectacle of slaves king turned into freemen , by the charmer ' s wand , I am , Your faithful and affectionate Friend , Feargus O'Connor , i

      Mr. Perry's Letter And Mr. O'Connor's Re...

      MR . PERRY'S LETTER AND MR . O'CONNOR'S REPLY . It is impossible for us to publish in lull all the resolutions we have received on the subject of * Mr Perry ' s letter and Mr O'Connor ' s reply . The following first came to hand : — Tower Hamlets . — Globe and Friends , Sunday evening . —At the conclusion of Mr Harrison ' s lecture on the Six Points of the Charter , Mr Shaw read from the Star Mr Perry ' s letter and Mr O'Cennor ' s reply , and after some remarks proposed the following resolution , which was seconded by MrPearce , of Limehouse , and unanimously carried amidst the cheers of all present : —

      That having heard read from the Star a letter signed John Perry , and addressed to the directors and sbmre . holders of the Chartist Land Company , and also Mr O'Connor ' s answer to the same , are of opinion that the writer of the said letter was actuated by disappointed , vindictive and malicious motives , and foel convinced that it was dictated in that spirit , impugning the conduct of Mr O'Connor , with a view to destroy the well-earned popularity of that gentleman , and in order to lessen the estimation in which he is held by the working classes Of this country ; we , therefore , hereby declare our unbounded and unqualified confidence ii » the honour , integrity aad judgment of Mr Feargus O'Connor , and confidently entertain a hope that aU such mean , pitiful , contemptible aod cowardly attempts to injure his character may recoil with tenfold force on each sneaking ,

      deceptive , idle , bungling , tinkering or peddling politicians , for we are satisfied that the promulgation ol their lying and slanderous statements will have an effect on the minds of the reflecting portion of the industrious classes the very reverse of that anticipated by the people ' s false friend * ; far after a life so usefully and energetically devoted to the benefit of the poor and oppressed , it is folly for all the disappointed curs in the unirem to endeavour to eradicate that deep-rooted affection felt by a grateful people for their leader and deliverer ; therefore , -ye Perrys , and all other insignificant wouldbe leaders , fire away ! O'Connor is invulnerable ! and the shafts of your satire and abuse will fall as powerless as your own koarisb crew of malcontents ; yet in future select some other butt on which you may hope to obtain a little unenviable notoriety by the fnlmination of jour "fraternal , filthy froth . " ( Cheers . )

      That in awarding our heartfelt thanks to Mr O'Connor for his able and convincing reply , we are of opinion that J . Perry is unworthy the name of Chartist , and Believe him to bea fool in the hands of others of his class . Moved and seconded by Messrs Knowles and Harrison . That the foregoing resolutions be forwarded to Mr Harney , requesting that gentleman to publish the same ( without abridgment } in the next week's Star . Proposed by Messrs Cannon and Docksey . Mr Kendrick , the chairman , paid to Mr Shaw 5 s . ;

      2 s . 6 d . for Mr O ' Connor ' s debt , and 2 i . 6 d . for the Veterans ' , Orphans' and Widows' Fund .

Hanley and Shelton , Kidderminster , Brighton , Hull , Oldham , and other places .

Andrew ' s ^ quare , on Monday ^ April 19 th , Mr William Doeaerty in the chair , after the reading of Mr O'Connor ' s letters in theater , the subject of successful members in the ballot being allowed to sell their allotments was discussed at great length by the members , all of whom considered the present system a hardship upon the poor mem . her , and a bonus held out to those possessing a little capital , and likewise that it would be the means of injuring the company . W . Chaplin moved : —

      That this meeting it of opinion that the present system ef selling allotments it injurious to the Company , and ought never to hare been introduced , and that we are hereb y of opinion , that more satisfaction would be given if the original plan of a reserved list was again adopted . D . Sherrington seconded the motion , and said he hoped that the different branches would speak out on this question , as the men of Glasgow had done , lie hoped that each branch would instruct their delegates at the next Conference to vote against the system of

      speculation altogether . The motion was then put , and carried unanimously . The meeting ¦ was well attended . Heiwsod . —Resolution passed , moved by Mr T . Wngley , seconded b y Mr T . Smith : — " That , as the system of members selling their allotments is hurtful to the Company , opening a market for tbe capitalists whereby the land would again become the property of the aristocracy ; it is the opinion cf this meeting that the 18 th of the old roles ought to be again enforced , to prohibit the members from selling their allotments .

      Mr O'Connor And The Land.

      MR O'CONNOR AND THE LAND .

      Io Mis Xditob Op 1^8 Nonlhers Star. Sin,...

      IO MIS XDITOB OP 1 ^ 8 NOnlHERS STAR . Sin , —Having just read the contents of tbismonth ' s Laoourer magazine , I cannot allow the opportunity to pass without tendering , on the part of myself , that gratitude which ought to pervade the heart of every individual member of the Land Company to Mr O'Connor , for his elaborate elucidation of the working of that scheme which is destined to change the whole surface of English society . Strange were my emotions after re & ding that astounding treatise . Difficult' is it for the imagination to conceive the noble , the magnificent and glorious results , which are now dawning through the efforts of that great man . A stripling in body , a youth in mind , it has always been to me a source of great pleasure to inquire into ,

      and make myself acquainted with , the principles oi every institution projected for the amelioration of the condition of the working-classes ; and while I have studied the theory of Ch & rtisro . assisted Complete Suffrageism , and practised Teetotalism , I must here say , after reading that splendid exposition of the Land scheme , that , to my mind , Mr O'Connor has totally and completely eclipsed all and every attempt which has heretofore been made to effect this muchdesired object . The firm and secure basis on which the plan is founded ; the fair and equitable mode by which it is intended to be carried out ; and the virtuous , lovely , and hoi ) character of the plan itself , will henceforth bid defiance to all opposition , no matter of what nature , which cari be brought to bear against it ; and ( as

      Mr O'Connor says ) its ' success now depends upon our own individual resolution and self-reliance ; and , in order to stimulate that resolution , I strongly advise , nay , more , I beg of every member of the Company to possess himself of aoopy ofthis month ' s magazine , and not only read it himself , but read it to all his friends and relations , by whom he may be surrounded . There is one thing which I perhaps imprudently regret , and itjs this : Mr O'Connor ' s determination to limit his connection to 24 , 000 , or four sections . No doubt that gentleman sees the propriety of doing this , and will be warranted , by bis knowledge and foresight of the plan , to stand by his determination ; but 'I think the company , being ia an infant state , the public mind has not bad sufficient time to awaken itself , and that , justas it is bestirring

      itself and rousing into action , the doors of the company will be closed . Should this meet the eye of Mr O'Connor , perhaps he will at some future period ( it not affecting the welfare of the company ) give us his reasons for closing 89 early , because he has admitted ( and which I think not at all impossible ) , that he could as easily purchase ten thousand acres of land every month , as he could one estate in the year ; and as easily build ten thousand houses , as one hundred , within the year . I trust that 1 shall not be deemed impertinent for indulging in these remarks , as my sole motive in penning these lines , is a desire to induce the members of the company to extend throughout the whole length and breadth of the land , " atreatise as durable as the land itself .

      Death Pbom Hydrophobia.—A Few Days Since...

      Death pbom Hydrophobia . —A few days since E . Mannell , a painter , Jiving in * WilJmott-street , Hulme , died of this horrible malady . One evening last Christmas he was seated at the fire , and happening to move his foot , his dog—a brown and black terrier , which he had about six weeks—snapped at it ; upon which . he gave it a blow with his right hand , which the . dog also snapped at and bit , grazing the skin , as front the scratch of a pin , about one-third of an inch in length . He showed the wound to his mother , and a neighbour who was in the hou e at the time . The hand swelled a little , and was somewhat inflamed , fur a minute or two ; but as it soon healed , it was no further noticed . He took the dog out with him , about an hour afterwards , with a strap round its neck , to prevent its biting any one

      eke , and on returning homo was about to put it in the cellar , intending to keep it there in t ' atuie , when the dog escaped from him , and was neither seen nor heard of afterwards . About five weeks after the above occurrence , Mannell suffered a cat to take a piece of bread from his mouth , when the cat bit his upper lip ; the lip was swollen a short time , ^ but it passed off without further notice , Mannell continued to work regularly in usual health , till ; Sunday , the 28 th ult ., when his mother noticed that he appeared to be heavy and sleepy , and in the afternoon he went to lie down . On the Tutsday following , he complained of drowsiness in the middle of the day , and slept till nearly one o ' cl « ck . He went to work , but returned home in about threequarters of an hour , complaining very much of a

      weighty pain in his bowels . He got worse , and in the evening Mr Clubb , surgeon , was called in . Mr Clubb , when he first attended the deceased , found him labouring under great difficulty of breathing . There was great hardness , too , of the bowels . The obstruction to the breathing came by paroxysms , and some medicine being mentioned , appeared to have the effect of producing one . He said , " Don't send me any medicine . " Mr Clubb asked , " Why V Deceased sighed heavily , and said , " i have a difficulty in swallowing . " Mr Clubb then began to suspect that the deceased was afflicted with hydrophobia . The deceased was asked if be would take some

      water . He said , " I will try ; I feel very thirsty ;" but he sighed and shuddered ac mention of it , and on his mother offering to put tbe cup to his mouth , said , " Mother , give the cup to me . " lie took it with both hands sighing and gobbing very much , and after making two or three attempts to raise it to his mouth , put it down , and fell backwards in the bed , seized with a spasm at the sight of the fluid , and he did not take any . He continued to grow worse gradually , and died on Monday the 5 th . It was thought necessary to bold an inquest upon the body . The jury returned a verdict , " That the deceased had died of hydrophobia . "

      Opesiso of the Kkndal ano Wwbermere Rail way . —On Tuesday last this railway was opened Early in the morning flags were hoisted on the elevations in the immediate vicinity of the town—the time-worn tower of the dilapidated castle being the most conspicuous . The directors issued 500 free tickets to the tradesmen and others of the town and neighbourhood . A little before ten o ' clock in the forenoon ft band of music proceeded to the company ' s station in Wiidman-street . Soon after this period , the directors , headed by John Gandy , Esq , the chairman of the board , and a numerous company , took their seats in a train of first , second , and third-class carriages . ' At twelve o ' clock at noon another train was despatched , filled to overflowing . At two in the afternoon , the directors , with a large body of shareholders and special visitors , partook of a sumptous dejeuner at the New Hotel , at Birthwaite , J . Gandy , Esq . , in the chair . The splendid new steamer , the Lord of the Isles , made several pleasure trips during

      the day between Ambleside and Newby Bridge < the whole extent of the lake ) . The vessel was crowded . A band of music was on board , which made the surrounding mountains and woodlands reverberate with soul-stirring strains . Fttet champetres also took place on the margin of the queen of lakes , which added a noble zest to Nature ' s grandest scenery . No accident took place to mark he proceedings of the day . Opening op the Prussian Dirt . —Berlin , April 11 . —This day at noon the opening of the United States of the Diet took place at the White Hall of the Palace Royal . His Majesty the King , who walked from the cathedral to the palace amid the cheers and greetings of the people , was received at his entrance into the White Hall with three rounds of applause by the assembled States . His Majesty immediately ascended the throne , and , sitting dawn , delivered his speech , which was of formidable length .

      Public Meeting At Deptford. A Numerously...

      PUBLIC MEETING AT DEPTFORD . A numerously attended meeting in favour of the hon . member for Finsbury ' s motion , was held on-Wednesday evening , at the Red Lion and Wheat sheaf , High-street , Deptford . The long room was crowded . The placard convening the meeting called upon Admiral Dundas , one of the members for the borough , to attend , and show cause why he opposed Mr Buncombe ' s recent motion . Mr Howes , a bookseller of Deptford Bridge , was unanimously called to Clio chair , » nd mad the following very lame apology irom the gallant Admiral : — Admiralty , April 20 , 1847 ,

      Sir , —My reason for voting as 1 did on Mr T . Dun . combe ' s motion was , —That I know from experience the difficulty of getting in rates called for the relief of the poor ; and I cannot see why the man who pais his money at once , is to be placed on the same footing as his neighhour , } who does not pay until he is cither summoned by the authorities , and puts the parish to expense by obliging him to pay , or as often takes place , the tenant who has to pay rcmores suddenly , and ( he landlord has the payment thrown upon him . The Queen's taxes are not of such consequence in my opinion , and longer time than is now allowed ought to be given—and I hope this will bea measure soon taken up by tbo government . Already a bill is introduced by Sir De Lacy Brans and another member , that will , 1 trust , amend the present

      mode of collecting the revenue . I have beun long engaged for to-morrow evening , and I do not seo that my coining to Deptford , if I could , would enable me tc give other explanations than 1 now have done , and my constituents will toon have an opportunity of showing me how thfy consider I have done my duty , as a general election cannot be far off . It would be very singular , if a member who for many years has enjoyed the confidence of such a constituency as Greenwich , should lose one old friend , because . he happens to think differently an any one subject , I am not afraid of this ; and if God spares me my life , I hope to stand before you again and get your independent support , Yours sincerely , . J . D . DCHDAS .

      The chairman said be could not see the Justice of a tax collector standing in the way between a man and his franchise . ( Loud cheers . ) He had been informed that there was a Reform club established inthat borough ; if that was the case ho contended that it was the duty of that body to watch with a jealous eye , and guard the rights and privileges ot the electors . The gallant admiral bad said he did not tbink he should lose one old friend by thinking differently on this subject with others . lie would remind the gallant admiral that Hogging in either the army or navy was equally unpalatable to the constituency of Greenwich as was the continuation of the ratepaying clauses . ( Loud cheers ) Mr Joseph Morgan moved a similar resolution and petition to that recently adopted at the metropolitan meetings .

      Mr Bailei seconded the motion . Mr Stallwood , ( who had been invited in company with MrM'Grath , ) in n speech that was loudly applauded supported the motion , which was carried unanimously ! It was also resolved that the petition be entrusted to Mr Bernard for presentation , Mr Fluid then rose to submit the following resolution : — "That this meeting censures tho inconsistent conduct of Admiral Dundas , ene of the members for this borough , in voting for the Repeal of the Ratepaying Clauses , when out of office , and opposing the motion of Mr Duncombe , for the same object , when in oflice . " Mr Robinson seconded the motion . Mr P . M'Grath supported the motion , and in an eloquent speech perfectly electrified his audience , who gave vent to their admiration by frequent bursts of applause .

      A small clique of co-called respectables , who occupied a position at the lower end of the room , tried to re ate , a disturbance , by continuous interruption clamour , and annoyance . o At the conclusion of Mr M'Grath's very forcible address , Mr Wright , one of the " gentlemen" alluded to , and who is said to be a clerk in a government office rose , and in defence of the gallantadmiral said , lie did not think it right to attack any individual behind his bvek . That meeting did not comprise a majority of the electors , and , therefore , they had no right to censure the gallant representative , lie n-as no more in favour of the Ratepaying Clauses , than

      they were ; in fact , he would go as far as Mr Stallwood , lie was in favour of Universal Suffrage , but this was not tfce place . He was , in fact , a Chartist ; but this was not the time . The people were not prepared far it , at least they were not five years ago . ( Loud laughter . ) He did not think the admiral should be censured for this one vote . It was unfair and out of place , to refer to flogging , or he could defend tho gallant admiral on that point . ( Execrations . ) Oh ! he was opposed to flogging , ( Roars of laughter . ) Mr Floyd , in a very able speech , which elicited loud applause , replied—but was subjected to similtr annoyance and interruption from the " gentle men . "

      A Mr Russkll , another of the " gentlemen , rose and reiterated many of the things put forth by Mr Wright , and concluded by demanding that the bill , convening the meeting , be read . Mr Robinson complied with the •' gentleman ' s " request , and , in a most caustic speech—which was greeted with great applause throughout—replied to that " gentleman . " Mr Pbrks then eloquently descanted on the resolution before the meeting , condemning the conduct of Admiral Dundas . Mr MKJratii then entered rn a general reply to the " gentlemen , " contending for the right of the meeting to censure their servant , and that the time anrf place was well chosen ; that whilst they did not wish to interfere with tbe admirable right of '' tliinking , " they had a just right to canvass and express their opinion on his votes .

      The resolution was then put to the meeting , and only one solitary band was raised on behalf of the gallant Admiral . The motion was declared to be carried amidst the most enthusiastic cheering , and a copy of it ordered to be forwarded to the gallant M . P . A vote of thanks was given to the chahman , and the meeting dissolved .

      Wkbtminstsr.Debating Socibtt.—On Saturda...

      Wkbtminstsr . Debating Socibtt . —On Saturday * evening last this society held its usual w-vkly meettug . The Jorge room of the Temperance Hall , Broad * way , was crowded to excess : Mr Cathie { . resident , and Mr Bowler vice-president . Mr Irvine opined the debate—the subject for which wa— " How enma , Ireland to lose her Parliament ; and what Iwvo leen the effects of the Union on the two Countries 1 " Mr 1 . contended that English gold had beta the cause of Ireland losing her legislative power , " eeauau tho Irish people and the members were intimidated , or bribed to vote in favour of the » malg « m » tion . 1 hua had two-thirds of tho municipal towns , boroughs , and cities , voted in favour of the change At th % - timo Ireland was not in the state of misery , de | tnwstioa » and poverty the present day saw her in . . Jie maintained that had Ireland the power of legating for herself , she would not be obliged to ask » lm » o » anf other country . Mr I . sat down much amterl . ior Ashe : When he looked back into histoiy , and i » und , that a wicked government on one hand , and a "" 4 ' a " 7 and wily priesthood on the other , had : « v . r , Rl " S * to protract the reign of ignorance , and '> . ' 'lutiii tno progrei-s of any kind of knowledge , poJi . ittfl or religious , he came to the conclusion , that riio cause or Ireland ' s losing her independence was the want of popular knowledge of political rights . ( Cheers . ) Mr ^ alford next spoke , and in an cxcilier . t speech showed the baseness of the British government in promising that they would pass certain nwnsuros for the benefit of the Irish people , if they would ui . lv con » sent to the removal ol tho parliament , ami t ! io amalgamation of that legislative power , which he contended

      belonged to each country separately . But while he blamed the British government for their baseness , he could not but find room for censure in the credulity of the Irish ueople . When he found thut out of tho 100 commoners sent to represent Ireland in the British parliament , only one—Mr Gratt ^ n—spoke in favour of his countrymen , that was a suUicierit proof of Ireland ' s inability to govern herself . ( Hoar , hear . ) Mr Connor followed : As an Irishman , he felt himself bound to defend bis countrymen . ' 1 'he people ot Ireland had no voice in the repre « ents \ tion of their country , neither had they any choice in tho election of those who represented them . How , then , he would , ash , had the people themselves been instrumental in the downfal of their protective powers ? In spite U what had been said respecting the parlies who

      composed the Irish parliament—in defiance of what had been advanced as to the ignorance ot tbo people of Ireland ,-he said , fc ive them the power to legislate for themselves , and ofchoosh : ;/ their own representatives—give them these power ? , and tho establishment of a parliament in Colkws , rtxn , and class despotism would be overthrown , ( Loudcheers . ) Mr Trumble said , sixty years ago the Irish members were waylaid in tbe Dublin streets by tin- people , and made to swear that they would oppose tiu- union of the two countries . He would ask , tl . ei' , did this show the desire of the people to lose their parliaawnt ?" He said no ; it was a proof that the Irish people bad a clear foresight of the kind of legislation they were likely to be subject to , and they used every means in their power te prevent it . But they had nor a voice

      in tbe matter . Bribery , corruption , ana devices of the basest kinds , triumphed over the will of tho people . He hailed the establishment oi' tlie * ' Confederation" society , as a bright omen for Ireland ' s once more resuming that place in tho lbt of nations that her situation and her productive f > cil 119 highly merited . ( Loud applause . ) Mr Tilt next rose , and in an able manner combated the arguments <>! ' the last speaker , and sat down applauded . Mr Broome and Mr Cathie also spoke , and were followed by a motion for adjournment , which was seconded and carried unanimously . The meeting then .-idjouvned ; the consideration of the question will bo resumed this evening , at 8 o ' clock . Irish UosrBBBBATioR . —onauudc . ^ «•» ,.,, \ , to a very numerous aad highly respectable meeting' of ijonfederates met at Cartwright ' s Coffee-housp , Red

      Crosi-street , City . Mr Regan was called to the chair . He said he believed they were all aware that there was an address to be brought forward that ovening for their consideration ; he trusted the proceedings would be carried on with that good feeling and order that had characterised their former prucoediiigM . Mr Clancy read the address , which was occasiomi'ly interrupted with marks of approbation , and _ concluded by moving its adoption as the address of tho Confederates of that locality , in the City of London , to the council of the Irish Confederation . Mr . Dwain rose , ho said cordially and heartily , to sotwi . i the adoption of the address . If there was a man i . 'i that room thatdid not agree with every sentiment therein contained he would pity that man from hia soul . What Irishman did not feel his heart expand and

      his soul on fire on hearingitread ? and it would ever be the proudest recollection of his lifo , that he hadthe honour of seconding its adoption . Mr Archdeacon rose and addressed the meeting in his usual eloquent style . He was ready to confess he did net know what course to take , he believed the author of that addiess was sincerely conscientious in the course he was taking . He was not prepared to make any amendment to that address ; to the principles it contained he could not object , yet , as a rnattw cf expediency , he would call upon every man in tliKtroom not to adopt this address , he would vote against it . Mr Thomas Daly , the accredited reporter of the Nation newspaper , who attended for the tirst time , next addressed tho meeting . He could not fairly object to the principles contained in the address .

      lie would admit that it was well drawn np . buthediJ not agree with some sentiments made by Mr Dwais and Mr Clancy . The latter gentleman h * iu told them that if the people of Ireland had exercised ; i Jegitimate power over the influence of O'Conii'Mi six or seven years ago , Ireland would rot be in hur present state , nor would O'Connell go down to a ilugoimrate grave . He did not believe O'Connell would go down to either a degenerate or a disgraceful grave , but that he would return to be honoured hy his countrymen for the services he had performed for Ireland . Mr D . then left the room . Mr Martin differed horn the last speaker , and quoted many points , proving that Mr O'Connell had not been , through life , the advocate ol the labouring man . Mr Sullivan next addressed the meeting . Ileapprovcd of the address and

      differed with the views taken by Mr Archdeacon . Mr M'Carthy rose to give the address bis v / avmand earnest support . He , too , differed with some sentiments that had fallen from Mr Archdeacon , Thf power of the people of Ireland was fast departing from the land . Emigration , pestilence , and death , were stalking abroad and making Ireland a charnol house . With such a state of things , he would not refuse the hand of any man , nay , ho would go farther , if hecHuldbut obtain assistance , howoulo [<» upon his kuees , if necessary , to obtain effectual ai » . ' , sooner than see hiscountry go down to the grave . Although justice had not been done to the working classes 01 England , still , he thought it was the bounden duty of every man to forget past follies , and declare , before the God of Heaven , that they would not be acces *

      saries to the wholesale murder of the people ot Ireland . Mr Mullen addressed the meeting and took a similar view ' with Mr Archdeacon : he would vote against the adoption of the addiess . Mr Tucker addressed the meeting . The address w ; ts worthy of tho illustrious dead to whom it alluded , and , he hoped , would be read by the living men to whom itwas addressed in that spirit of justice and truth in which it was written . It being now eleven o ' clock ,. Mr Clancy rose to reply . With regard t . » the address no man had attempted to argue against tbe hallowed principles it contained , no man had moved an amendment , and it was a matter of congratulation to himself to have been enabled to propose to them , io-night , an address which was alike honourable and unobjectionable to all an adrhms which , while it breathed the undying princip c * . ol Liberty , would , he trusted , be acknowledged as tin :

      emanation of tbe mind and souls of Irislimen alumo . ( Loud cheers . ) He had struggled for the rights of Englishmen , his vote had been ever given for their rights , but tho time was come for him to struggle for the rights of his own country . Already they had had four nights' discussion on the subject , every possible objection bad been raised and answered , now . Jet them see who would vote for " Ireland for the Irish . " " ( Cheers . ) It was now intimated by tbe chairman , that no person should vote who had not bc & u mvittd .. a week previous to that day . 'I he arrangement was J unanimously agreed to ; after which , the chairman" r put the question in the ordinary way for . the ad- , - dress , no amendment having been proposed , when a the chairman declared the address all but unani * i * mously carried , there being only four hands held up p against it ! Some further arrangements having been m adopted for its presentation , the meeting bioke up .
