      Mr Friends, Mt Dear Friexds, You •• ¦Ill...

      Mr Friends , mt Dear Friexds , You •• ¦ ill not expect me to attempt anv description of my feelings for the last ten days . It w ould be impossible—utterl y and wholly impos 5 ' } , Js—to convey to you ths _faintest notion of the state of anxiety and excitement I have been in for that period ; working- hard all dav , satin- ? but little , and spending sleepless nights , but never once resorting to any artificial means to sustain me in the struggle . I declare to vou

      that my thoughts for the last ten days would con stitute a life ' s history . It has never been j ny practice to denounce the ardent and enthusiastic too severel y , while you and I have always been the great " sufferers from their intemperance and folly . I can make every allowance for new and exciting circumstances , producing new and excited feelings ; but while I am thus tolerant , I can in nowise consent that that which is dearer to me than life itself , should suffer damage , even from justifiable excitement .

      In health and appearance I am ten years _olderthanl was ten days since , but I urn twenty years younger in hope ] because , while folly has had its fling , prudence has had its triumph . And with so much of a preface , I shall now describe the reality of the past , and map out for you the future . Wben the announcement of our intention to hold a meeting on Kennington Common , and thereto form a procession to escort the National Will to the Senate House , was made , that announcement was allowed to pass unnoticed by tbe _g overnment for many weeks , and , now that we have triumphed in our moral strength , I assert , without fear of contradiction , that that intention would never have heen interfered

      with hy the Government , hut for the folly of some , the indiscretion ; of some , and the treachery of some of _thosa professing to belong to our ranks . However , the effect of this folly , this indiscretion and treachery , was evidenced in tbe issuing of a proclamation forbidding both the meeting and the procession . You may rest assured that theappearance of this proclamation imposed many hours of serious thought upon

      me ; and , after anxious deliberation , the conclusion to which I came was , that the _abandonment of tbe meeting would be equivalent to the death of Chartism—that perseverance in the procession wonld have been followed by the death of thousands and the prostration of the cause ; and I decided upon violating the law in defence of the Constitution and the cause of the people in the one case , and laughing brute ijrce to scorn in the other .

      Had we surrendered the meeting , we would have had no channel through which to justify the nban'dcnment of the procession « but a meeting , out of which the procession was to be constituted , was the constitutional and legitimate tribunal lo appeal to . We did so ; and to the honour , to the wisdom , and the prudence of that meeting , it not only consented to , but it approved and applauded , the policy . And so far from the boastings of the government , or the jeers of special constables , being able to eke a triumph out of oar prudence , our _^ resolve sounds the death-knell of tyranny .

      Chartism—heretofore under a bushellaughed at b y the Press , and mocked in the House of Commons , now finds a p lace in every newspaper , and haunts every man ' s bruin ; _whers-as , if Chartism" had made a _fteble resistance to an armed foree , the principle would have been destroyed . The great , the . mighty preparations made by a strong Government , will prove its terror and your strength ; while your principles—the justice of which no man can deny—are now being extensively discussed by thousands who had never previousl y heard of them , and tens

      Of thousands who previously mocked them . What they say is , " Is this the dead thing ? Is this trie contemptible princi ple _' which so ' affrights * the isle from its propriety / and compels the peer to handle the policeman ' s bludgeon ? There must be something in this Chartism ; I will inquire and investigate . " Well , my friends , that ' s all we want—inquiry and investigation , for our princip les will stand both ; and even up to this hour ( Thursday ) , I see the fruits of our victory in numerous letters of congratulation , and nnmerous appeals from the middle classes to be allowed to join .

      Again , suppuse that our ranks had been brought into collision with an arnied force on Monday ; and suppose I had escaped the vengeanceof tyranny—which is not onl y doubtful but improbable—how weak and contemptible I should be to-morrow night when I enforced the claims of MILLIONS .: It was extensively announced on Saturday , Sundav , and Monday , in newspapers

      and placards , that Feargus O'Connor had fled , and left his dupes to their fate . ; But I sat in the centre of tbe front seat , in the post of danger , and smiled as we passed through the reserve of pensioners , and the body of foot and mounted police . And , my friends , my prudence did not fail me when I saw assembled upon Kennington Common such a _Hght as the human eye has seldom seen before .

      And now , in order to prove the truth of the estimate that I have formed of the Press , and opinion , when Chartism is concerned , and when the people are to be counted . I will give yo u a correet _representation of the varying calculation as to our numbers upon that day . A member of the ilouse of Commons , sitting in the Library , assured me , uith indignant passion , that he was on the Common , and that there were not 4 . 000 people . Sir De Lacy Evans—a military man—asserted , upon the authority of a brother officer—that there were not more than

      35 , 000 . Some of the newspapers set us down at 8 . 000 , some at 10 , 000 , some at 15 , 000 , some at 20 . 000 , and ' one—the Morning Post—at 150 , 000 , - and the Evening Sim—mark , the first paper to give the amount _uoon thn same dav , and not influenced by the Government , the fears of old women , or the speculations ol the Stock Exchange—also states the numbers at 150 , 000—as a matter of course , each assuring its readers that there was a large reserve of the idle , curious , and flanked by companies of boys and children ; but you know the form of the ' ready reckoner that 1 have

      published for the solution of such questionsit is , to add the several numbers given hy the _asveral papers , make a total of them , double it , and then you will be near the mark . _yow I think that experience enables me to mate a better guess in such cases than the Penny-a-liner , and my estimate of our numbers on Monday is rather under than over 400 , 000 ; and I tell you how I arrive at a _oen-

      Mr Friends, Mt Dear Friexds, You •• ¦Ill...

      elusion—I carry in my eye a build _' ng which will hold a certain number , and I estimate the number of times that the number of persons « tmld fill the building ; and I assert , without fear of contradiction , that the numbers present on Monday would have forty times filled a building capable of holding 10 * 000 . However , be the numbers what they may , the conclusion that vou are to -lia \ v ; is _, that

      the Press , being the mouth-piece of a faction , has an interest in proclaiming your weakness . However , thank ( xod _, they have been baulked of the delicious repast of counting the slain . So much for the meeting , whose obedience , whose prudence , aad whose courage has repaid me for a long life of agitation—of persecution —and of suffering . And now to the consideration of a still more important questionthe question of THE ILLUSTRATED WHIG TREASON ACT .

      That is the title I have given to the Government gagging Bill in the House of Commons , _and'asTstatedthere I repeat here— "It is treason against the Crown , treason against the Constitution , and treason against the People . " It is

      "A BASE , BLOODY , AND B RUTAL _. BILL " —A Bill which , if passed into . law , will assuredly create a revolution in this country—a Bill which the proud minister expected to be law on Tuesday , but which does not vet disgrace the statute book . Men of England , if the power of man can do it , I will scotch the monster until you have the power of proclaiming your horror , and evincing your constitutional opposition ;—and its opponents are not few in the House of _Commons—Fox of Oldham , Thompson of the Tower Hamlets , Osborne of Middlesex , Crawford of

      Rochdale , and several constitutional lawyers , are in the ranks of the Opposition ; and if the Irish members , calling themselves liberal , presented a steady front , it never would he the law of the land . The effect of this Bill , if passed , will be to transport every man who speaks his mind " openly and advisedly , " or prints his _opinions if the Government can procure , within three days , a treasonable conspiracy or plot through hired spies and informers in one case , or if a Jury should come to the conclusion that the object of such speaker or writer was to lead to such an overt act , in the other case .

      Men of England , this comes from the " "base , bloody , and brutal Whigs , " whose boast it is , that the constitution is BASED UPON THE BLOOD OF THEIR ANCESTORS , and these are the Reformers for whom your brothers burned and suffered death in 1832 . If this bill is passed , there is an end to the constitution of this country , and whether it passes or not , and however I may be mocked for my presumption and folly , it is my firm resolve to move the impeachment of Ministers for their treason to the Crown and the People .

      For God ' s sake , Englishmen , do not be foolish , and say that you will not _petition against this Bill , when 1 tell you that , by so doing , you disarm your friends and arm your enemies . Petition by dav and hy night , and send your petitions to different Liberal members , so that all may be arnied with popular power . Humble as I am , you see how my prophec y has been realised , that , from my place in P ? r-

      liament , I would be able to give circulation to your opinions , your principles , aud your strength , which I never would be able to do out of the House ; and if by my poor exertions , backed by your confidence , I have been enabled thus to circulate those princip les , will you not now preserve every channel _andjvalve through which the national strength is conveyed to a national representative .

      My friends , Monday has been such a triumph as bas struck terror to the hearts ofthe enemy . Do not weaken it by inactivity—do not sull y it by folly . And when -you hear speakers telling an unarmed people to rush upon danger and to death , tell them that it is my intention to secure a great moral , a great social , and political triumph for all , and that , upon the banquet day , not one of Nature ' s children shall be missed from Nature ' s feast .

      Let me exhaust my energy , my means , and perseverance , and your patience and confidence , before you abandon the exalted position you now hold . I know how hard it is to offer placid counsel to starving men , but I know , if you use the Easter recess with judgment , the battle , after that period , will commence with an opposition arrayed against the Government , to whose will it must bend and yield .

      There are now materials , ample materials , in the House of Commons , if properly disciplined , to hurl the despotic Minister from power , and to proclaim the National "Will . If Young and Old Ireland would surrender their personal jealousies and feelings , and unite , a 3 one man , to fight their country ' s cause , and if the Liberal section of English Members would join with them , we have ample materials to fight the battle of Freedom in the House of

      Commons , and snch a course is now about to be adopted . My f riends , as I will not ba accountable for any man ' s speaking , or for any man ' s writing , but my own , I now announce to you that again I assume the office of Editor of the . Northern Star , and that , disregarding the mystery of the _Press-jiang , every word written by myself , shall bear my own signature . Thia . is a safe precaution ; this is the manly course ; so that I will suffer for none , und none _sJiall suffer tor me . I shall now confine my agitation to the walls of the House of Commons , as no constitution could bear what I have been in the habit of imposing upon mine , and I entertain the vain impression that you do not want to lose me yet .

      _Next week I shall draw your attention to the means by which the present system may be upset , and the present Ministers hurled from office , in one week after Easter . . And , having hitherto followed my counsels , and honoured me with your confidence , I am prepared to say , that y ou have no right to expect me to join in your raskness if you refuse to adopt measures which , by a peaceful and resolute demonstration ofyour will , maybe effected without violence or bloodshed . But , come what will , though death should be my portion your admirable discip line on Monday has can vinced me that your cause is worth living for and worth dying for . On Saturday next . you shall have the developement of my whole plan .

      Ever your faithful Friend and Representative , Feargus O'Connor .

      TO THE ENGLISH PEOPLE . Thursday night . My Friends , I now sit down to put yon in possession of what has transpired on this ( Thursday ) evening , * in the House of Commonsj and I cannot do po more simply and plainly , than by giving you the f ollowing report of the proceedings from tbe " SUN ; ' * which , though very incorrect , will give you some notion of the tone and temper of your deliberate assembly . When Mr Cripp s had closed his insolent and audacious statement , and when I had replied , I left the House , and sent my friend , Mr Jones , there , with the following

      letter—Osborne ' s Hotel , Adelphl . Thursday evening . . Sir . —My friend , Mr Jones , will hand you this letter—he has my authority for acting oa ray befca'f _. Your obedient servant . Feargus O'Connob . Mr Jones repaired to the Honse , and sent in his card twice to Mr Cripps , and received as an answer— "That the hon . member could not leave the House * " It is but justice to Mr Cripps to say , that he was under a pledge not to do so . I am now writing ADVISEDLY and tem ; perately , and I assure you that such a brutal howl was never heard as that with which I was

      assailed when I rose to defend your petition from its assailants . However , a most dreadful onslaught lias heen made upon vou , and I had not ONE SINGLE SUPPORTER in the House , but I HAVE YOU ; and now for the result . I have resolved upon not _submitting your Petition , or your claims , to the House on Friday ( to-morrow ) , and for this simple reason , because by this course 1 best serve

      your interests . I have been charged " with falsehood by a Member of the House . I shall be with my Constituents on Easter Monday , and they shall judge between ns ; and the Aristocracy of this country will learn , meantime , whether constitutional liberty has lost or gained bv the base attempt to insult YOUR REPRESENTATIVE . Englishmen , I now leave MY CREDIT aud YOUR CAUSE in vour

      hands . If I have been uilty of falsehood or deception , I am unworthy of yoar confidence ; if I have been insulted as your representative , I have taken the course which honour _suggested _, to defend myself , and the country will acquit me and defend me . I have not obeyed the order of the House to attend , because the House violated its duty , and so did the Speaker , in tolerating language which , if used to any other member , would have been scouted . Yours faithfully , Feargus O'Connor .

      House Of Gommoks, Thursday, Aran, 13. Na...

      HOUSE OF GOMMOKS , Thursday , Aran , 13 . NATIONAL PETITION . Mr TnoRKtBY br ought up the report of the Committee on Public Petitions , which stated that upon rhe 26 ' . h of November la t a committee was appointed to report tu the house the number of si _° na . tires attached to all petitions presmted to that house , ar . d that th _& y had felt it their duty to make s special report to the house up » n t _^ e subject of tbo National Petition , presented on the 10 th of April , hy tae hon . member for Nottingham , signed by subjects of the British crown . The cmmitt . ee attached the utmost value tothe _rfehcof petit on ' nr > and to the ex _? T 3 8 e of that most _impor'ant privilege by the subjects of this realm , and felt deeply the necessity of _preserving the due exercise of such _privilege from

      abuse , and having also a due regird to tbe importance of a petition so very numerously signed , had made that petition the subject of iheir present repott . jThey felt bound , in the discharge of their duty , to represent to the house that with respeoi to that petition there had been a gross abuse of that privilege . ( Hear , hear . ) The hou . member for _Notting' "am , upon presenting the petition , had _stit _. d that the petition was signed by 5 , 706 , 000 persons . Upon the most careful examination of the number of _signatures in the committee , with the assistance of thirteen law stationers' clerks , who acted under the superintendence of the vario _^ clerks of the committees , the number rf signature . ' attached to ttie petition does not . in the opinion of

      the committee , exceed l , \ flo 496— _t Hear . ) It h fur ther feund , that a large number ofthe signatures were consecutively written by thc same hand . It _wus _alst observed tint a large number of the signatures were those of persona who could n > _tba supposed to have concurred in it * prayer ; among those were the name of her Majesty , signed Victoria Rex , the Duke of Welliogtu ., Sir Robert P _^ el , & c , & c , Thera was al-o » 6 ticed i . large number of names whiah were evidently fictitious , such as ' Pugnose , ' ' Longnose , ' ' Flatnoie , ' * Punch , ' Snouk * . * 'Fubbs / _and-aisp numerous obscene names , which the committee would not offtnd the houso or it ¦ dignity by _repeating , but which evidently belonged t ) no human _bting , ( llear . hear . )

      Upon tae motion that the report do lie upon the _ttble , Mr F . _O'Comton . said , that it would bo quite im _possible for any thiiteen clerks to count , from the time the petition was printed , even 1900 , 000 signatures , and he should therefore move for tho appointment ofa committee to _inquire into the subject ' . There was an old saying , * that thow who hid knew where to find , ' and he believed that if suoh abuses did exist , it no doubt was tho act of some of tbe _government spies . —( Oh , oh . ) Ho folly believed ' that the number of signatures he had represented the petition to contain waa correct . He would apply another test to ihe petition . The petition was contained in four or five large buidles , and it took himself , assisted by four other peraons _, to lift tbe largest of the bundles . { Oh , oh . ) __ Ue did not believe he should have any _uiffisulty in obtainina a _petition apon tbe same subject signed by 15 , 000 , 000 , or donb e or treble that number .

      _MrTaoasLKY said that tho petition was treated with all the respect which waa due to one so numerously signed , and if he might take the liberty to speak of an individual so humble as himself , be would _statejthat there were points referred to in tbat petition with wbich he _cordially agreed , the vote by ballot , for _instanee . Bnt the house would _prokahly remember what the hon . member was not aware of , that the committee of which he had the . honour to _oe the chalnnau , was appointed in the early part of the session , and entrusted to report to th * house the number of signatures to each and every petition presented . It had been necessary to call in additional aid in order to ascertain the number of

      signatures to the petition . lie believed that that number had been ascertained with perfect certainty . ( Cheera . ) The hon . member bad referred to tbe weight of the petition as a proof of the _correctnes ? of his statement of the number of signatures to it . That petition had been weighed this morning , and it had been found tbat the whole of it together weighed 5 % cwt . The committee was , he trusted , too well known to render any further statements upon the subject necessarv . They eonBidered tbat tbey were onlyaoting in conformity with their duty _> n laying tho statement with respect to the petition before _thehouse . ( Cheere . )

      Lord J . Russell said , that ho gave full and entire credit to the report of the committee upon the subject , and considered that it was entitled to the fullest credence . ( Hear , hear . ) The Earl of Ahusdkl and Shrret said , that among the many falsehoods that had been stated with respect to the meeting on Kennington Common on Monday last , tha greatest of all he believed tobe the proclamation that had bern _issued by the Convention _, stating that a glorious demonstration bad taken place , aud that a quarter of a million bad as *

      sembled on KonBington Common . He was not there himself , bat he had been informed bv these who were thit there were uot 25 000 persons there . He believed lint that was an over-statement , and that there were not more than 15 , 000 person thera . ( Hear , hear- ) Now , he wonld ask , was it to te supp osed that the country would be deceived by a _> et ot men such as formed the Convention , wben they dared to tell _the-u such a falsehood ? In his opinion , men wh _* j would so act were tho greatest enemies ef 'be pfople , traitors to their country and their Queen , r . nd rebels to their God . ( _Uear . )

      Mr Maurice _O'Oonnzll . denied that tha Irish Repealers had taken any part iu tha detu & _ua ' ration that had taken place on Kennington Common . Sir R . II . _bGua believed that such an exposure _, as had now been made , aot only of gross

      House Of Gommoks, Thursday, Aran, 13. Na...

      _exaggeration of the numbers , but of the character nf the parties signing the petition wuld at once _coovinea the Legislature how little faith it cmld place in such a petition , ( ISot , hear . ) It was clear ,, _fram a | l thnt had been state ; . * , that the petition of which so much had been said , w . i- > cot worth the paper on which it waa written . ( Hear . ) ae _^ thought those who had so gro » sly _^ xa / gerated their _statements with respect to the petition vwe the _matoteDsmks of the right of _petitioniaz . ( Hear . ) tie should not move any resolution on . the subject _, but be would submit whether , as a means of ensuring the value f

      opetitions some plans _shou'dnnt be adopted S 1 i ! r that which ex ' ste <} " some ye ara ago , of adding to the _nsraes , the _v-eeide-aceu and oconoation oj those _signing ihe petition . ( Ories of 'Hear . ' ) lie trusted that the government would state , either to-night or to-morrow , wba * . _course they iaterded to aanpt , m _orcfor to put s stop to sueh demonstrations as they were threatened with on Monday last —( hear , hear )—in order tbat tbey might not occur again , _an-i he hoped afro that _miaistBrs would do something for those who had bo spontaneously cime forward in support of the government and the peace of the _ccuntry .

      Mr Cripps said , a ter what had fallen from tbe _honourablw _rjentlem-m tbe member for Nottingham , and tha _reflections ho had oast on the _cuamit'eo , be felt it to be his duty to get up and confirm wbat had air . ady been stated by his honourable friend opposite . ( Hear , hear ) _H'h-n the honourable gentleman made tho _audticinus statement that thia petition waa signed bv 5 706 , 000 persons—( derisive ciieeis)—he _wentfyim his place to examine the petition and comparer , with tb © population returns . ( Hear , hear . ) He was not aware then that it was signed by women , but he bad Bine * _asccitiined that out of every 10 000 signatures hit wereattiched to tbe petition 8 , 200 were fhngeof w _imen . ( _Coeere and laughter . ) He did not wish to thrown _obfnquy and ridicule upon the petition itself , bnthe did wish to ridicule , and cast obloquy and derision UDon the hon . gentleman who had made these monster statements . ( Cheers . ) Mr O'Co _.-wob rose to order .

      The SpEAKF . n said , if tbe hon . gentleman wished to make any explanation upon his personal conduct _, he must watt till the hon , gentleman in possession of the chair bad resumed his seat . ( Cheers . ) Mr Cripps proceeded to remark that the statements of ihe hon . member were unworthy ot crc dene ? , and he hoped the poor people whom he had bo _sha-neful . y deluded wonld now see , in its proper lis ; ht , the character of the man they _had dealt with . ( _ile-r _, hear , ) Were these things te be tolerated while parties who he _oauld not say were immediately _congested with the hon . gentleman—( cheers )—but who availed _themselves of the opportunities he placed in their way to ruin honest tradesmen at _* uch places

      as _Camberwelt . ( Loud cheera . ) This petition teemed with wickedness and . obscenity , and there were words affixed to it that the lowest strumpet in the streets would be ashamed of . ( Hear . ) Upon one ofthe sheets were written the word ' we could get paid for no more , ' and had ho been aware of the nature of the signatures tbat were attached to it , he would hava objoeted to the petition being _receired at the time it was presented . What is it to gci 5 , 000 . 000 petitioners' names ? They could get an } number , definite or _indt-fiiito , if they choso to adopt such a course . U & hoped the house would i-ot cast such a censure upoa the Committee of _Petitions as to appoint another Committee to inquire into the subject .

      Mr F . O'Connor said : Sir , I have threa _diatinct duties to perform—one to the house , one to the Petition Commitee , and ono to myself . To the first . I reply , tbat it would be _impossib'e for me , or for any ether roan , to be answerable for _tvery signature to so voluminous a petition ; that I have palmed no _falsehood upon the house , nor do I believe the a » serti'm . s of the hon . member for Cirencester ; to the _Committee I r _.-ply , thit I never once charged them with any attempt to practice a deception , but that 1 did state the impossibility of _tha number of clerks _, said _t- _> be employed , counting the signatures within the time specified . I have now ! air , without be ' ng under thc ifcfluence of that excitement under whicii tiie hon . member _lubourod , _discharged my duty to the house and to the Committee . Mr O'Connor then left the house .

      Mr A bbl Smith said tbat he was present on Ken nington Common on Monday , from first to last , and ' hs could state most positively that never was there fltany time within the common more than fifteen thousand persons . The whole area of the common could not possibly contain more than ninety thousand persons ; _yut the honourable member for Nottingham had himself stated ia the hoase that there was n'it less than half a million persons present . Colonel Sibtiiorp said that as it had been said that his name _wa-i attached to the monstrous petition , he begged most eaiphatically to deny that he had ever signed the petition , op consented to have his name placed there . He would not so for have disgraced his family by acting in such a manner .

      Mr Hums thought that the hon . member for Ciren cester haa taken a very improper course in the remarks he had made on the subject of thepetition . He thought that tbe dignity ofthe house would have been ranch better preserved if notice had _bren given _•> f bringing the subject properly before the house . He expressed his deep regret that any honourable member should have _mada use of _anything like irritating language . He believed that it was the rule ofthe house that every honourable member should be responsible for the petitions which he might present , and that every party who attempted to impose in such a manner upon the house ought to be punished .

      Mr R . _Youks differed from the honourable member for Montrose , fie thought the cause of truth was under great obligation to tho member for Cirencester . ( Hear , hear . ) 16 was true he had used _strong _language , but he thought hc was justified in doing so . ( Hear , hear . ) He had made _statements with respect to the honourable member for Nottingham , which he had ol C' _» _urf e _denit-d . Lord CA 8 ri . _EREAGn rose to order ; he thought that assertion ought not to be mad * with respect to the _statements of honourable memb rs , when hey weie not uresent . There might be many persons who had a different notion of honour to himself in that _housj , but he should think himself unworthy of a _seit in it if he _brought charges and made _statements against an _bon-member when he was not present .

      Mr R . Yobkb said that the honourable mrmberfor Nottingham ' s absence was his own fault , ( llear , hear . ) He had _averted , and he would _insert again , tbat th © statement made by the hon . member for Cirencester was omrect . ( Hear . ) Mr B . Cochrane wished to know , from the noble lord at the head of the _government whether he thought , after the discussion that had ta _'^ en place that evening , it would be right or just to waste tbe whole of the evening to-morrow in discussing the question ofthe Charter . ( Hear . ) _L'ird J . _IIusseu- observed , that having _staiedsome dajs ago that it would be impossible to give Monday up for the consideration ofthe Chartist petition ; and haying proposed that its c _njideration should be prnceedod with on Friday , he certainly could not consider himself at liberty to depart from that arrangement . ( _H-ar . )

      Mr C . Lushington observed that the hon . member for Nottingham had stated that hc had two points _t- < explain , one of which he had explained there , and the other he said he should explain in another place . ( Hear . ) Now , his doubt wm whether the hon . member , in hia exp _' anation in another place , would mt put a wrong _construction upon what had taken place in that _honse that night . Mr _DisaABii thought It would be exceedingly ridiculous it they had , aa appeared likely to be tho case , a more serious meeting in that house than Imd taken

      place on Kennington Common . ( Hear , bear . ) He tUought that If the hon . gentleman made a statement grossly incorrect , and calculated to do mischief , it was tho duty of bon . _gentlemen to bring it under tbe con ftlderalten of the house calmly aud deliberately . { Hear . ) The hon , memborfor O : re _» ceoter wna entitled to > praise tor the zeal he had displayed in _affoiding tho bouse information upon the _auljsct of this petition , bot still he had Indulged ia Moaeding warm and _unusual language aud he _therefore -trusted _iue Speaker _vsotjld Interflow his authority to prevent the occurrence oj unpleasant eveats . ( Hear , bear . )

      Sir Q .

( Hear . ) Mr .

( _Hetrt . ) Lord J . Ro 8 asi . li said , under these circumataaoes ho should move that the hon , _tsemlsor for Nottingham ba taken Into _euslo < * y forthwith .

      The SrBAKEB In calling upon tue hon . member for CirenceBter to give him an _assurance tbat he would not report to ulterior measures iu this matter , tools occasion to point out tho _abaolute necessity of bon . members being guarded in the statement * they made to the house , particularly so far aa teUvtsd to their accuracy , ( Hear , hear , Mr _CBins would _tetdily give tbo required _assurnuci _., but at tbe aamotime he b _# _ggod to be . _undentoed tbat fce . was _siawra in what _Jjja _sMtdji

      House Of Gommoks, Thursday, Aran, 13. Na...

      After a few _wrds from Lord _© _ASTtEBBEAon _, Sir De _LiorvEvANS said , tbat be did not in the least " degree feel > urprioed at the _feelings oftho hon . member , _^ who was a member of the committee . Bat ha misted ' that the hon : _meinbc r ivould at onco get up in Mb place , anil regret tbat he bad used _langjjogo which bad given _offiiicn to any hon : member ; Mi- Cnirps said , that he certainly deeply rrgretted _harinn made use of any \ language which might ba _weidered unparliamentary . The CHAHCEIiKQBr of the _EXD'H _* _- _*!''* ' ** - suggested that some restraint should bo put upon the hon . member for Cirencester , In order to prerent bis leaving the house in his present excited state . Tho _motfon _wats than _ogrce « l to ,. that Mr F ( O'Qonnor be r- quesied to attend In his place forthwith _.

      JIB . Ft _O'CQUHORi—3 _BIVTI »« - THE NOTICE . The _Serjennt-ct . Arms advanced to the table ond intlraacd that the order to attend the house had been served on the hon . _membtr for Hbttlngham ( Ur F . O'Connor . ) The messenger who' served the notice was then called « 0 the bar , and Jn reply to questions , stated that be served the notice upon the hon . member personally , at the rffice of tbe N * o » _rnEBN _Stad _^ at twenty minutes _hefore seven o ' clock . Did he make anj answer f—He aeUed me what tbe _conei-qurncco would be if be did not _atnnd . 1 told him I did not know . Tho messenger having withdrawn _.

      Sir 6 . _Gaer eaid—I consider it my duty , in conse . _quense of thj statement just medo b y the messenger ofthe bouse , to move _^ in . accordance with the _fnrariablp practice of tht » _bousc _. _-rvhen one of its _Members has an order served upon bim requiring his attendance forth _, with , and declines- to comply , that _Peargvtg O'Connor , E q ., the member for Nottingham , baring been ordered to attend forthwith rn his place , and having _neglected do so , be be taken into the _custody of the Sergeant _ni Arms .

      MR . _FBARGFS O'CONNOB IK CUSTODY . The S _.-rtje-jnt-at-Arms ( _L- > rd _Charlus Ruseed ) here approached tho Sp ° a ' ier , aud announced that Feargus O'Connor . E q . was now ia custody . Sir G . _Gbey moved that Feargus O'C . nnor , "B > q . be _dUehufgftd out ti evutody of tha _Sergeant-at-Arms . in order that bo miaht attend in Mb plaee in tbe house forthwith . The motion w _» 9 put and agreed to , and ia a few seconds Mr O'Connor entered the hou ? e . The Speakeb , then addressing Mr O ' Cmnor said— I am _iriveu to understand thnt an expression felt from you _b-fore jou left the bouse this evening , which I , _uni ' ortunately , did not hear , or I should then have noticed it , which _hsf led tbe house to suppose that you intend * d to take hostile steps _against a member of this home iu _consequence of words spoken by bim ; and I hope that > _- _ou will n & , *> assure the hou _^ e that such was not jour intention . Burin ? your _abaeni-e the hon . member for

      Cirenc : s : _arhas expressed his regret that any expr _>? 8 > i 'n should have fallen from him at ail unparliamentary _; but »• you wire not hero at the time , 1 think It only -3 be to you to call upon the boa . _member for Cirence 9 i' r to repeat what he haa _aaid in j'our presence . ( Hear , bear . ) Mr Cripps had bo hesitation In _compljing with tbe r < quest of the Speaker , and acknowledging that he had _spoiteti with warmth . When ha heard the conduct of -he committee impugned , nnd the _r-port said to be capable _ofconfrndiciiOD , In so extraordinary n manner , by tbe Hon . Member for Nottingham , he had certainly been euri led away by his indignation . If—said the Hon . Member for _Cirenoester—if 1 esceeded , in any respect , the line which , as a Hicmber of _Pariiamt-nt , I ought to observe , in any thlnjt I said . I _detpl y regret it , as i _- is tbe first _tima In tho course of my life that I hare been beti yrd into such a difficulty , or that a _sir . _glt word 1 hava said hat been in any way called into quesiion oa to Ug gentlemanly beirine ( Hear , _bi- » _r )

      Mr O'Connor observed that hc had said , lieforo Ito left the hous , that he hud three duties to _perform—one towards the house , one ton arris tiie committee , aud one towards himself . As _resarded the house , he said he hoped it would not be believed thai he was a party t _>> any attempt j _» t delusion ; ns to the committee , so far from _castinir any rcflcution upon it , ho had expressly stated . as plainly as a man could speak , that there was no reflection whatever could be cast upon it ; and , without further ob 9 ei-vation . he then _luf _tbti houso . In that house , in times past he had witnessed some _tenuicstuons scenes , and out of that house he had led a life likely to lead him into collision ); uith others ; but never in that house had he _utten-d a word which reflected upon the private personal charncter of any _meuibrr —( cheers- —nnu if his character were so _impugned , lie should not , he considered be worthy to hold a seat in thit house if he did not

      in some way resent it . But now his honour _wassatisfied _, the _hoti . g entleman _having suid that , if he had used words Unbecoming for one gentlemnn to use _townrds another , lie regretted it . lie Wis not capable of _fostertna ; any resentment , or of allowing an ill feeling of any kind to rankle in his breast . ( _Chi-ers . ) He had now to perform a hi g her duty to himself , and to the persons who had signed that petition . After what had taken place that night , he should abandon tho motion of ivhich he had given _nctieo for the morrow . ( 'Loud cries of hear , hear ') He would leave the merits of the petition be tween tho government and the country , and between the government and those who had _signed it , but he would state one thiag fairly , freely , and frankly , that , however it might be said to be tho duty of a member of that house to scrutinise every petition . he presented , it was utterly impossible in all cases to perform lhat duty .

      It would havo been morally and physically impossible for him ( Ar O'Connor ) to have seen all the signatures to the petition presented on Monday , no as to be answerable ior them to tho house . He could not , therefore , possibly hava averted what had happtned . With respect to the hon . member for Cirencester , he was glad that he ( Mr O'Connor ) had not heen led away in a similar maimer by the excitement ot the moment . The hou . member had now performed his duty as a _j-en-ieman and ns a _ncniber oi Parliament ; and he would , therefore , cheerfully repeat that the hon . member was in an error when bo _t-upposed that there had been any intention on his ( Mr O'C-uttor ' oj part to cast any imputation on the committee . _TheluiB . member concluded by _expressing hi- hope that _wllUt had occurred v . ould place the intercourse if hon . member A on a better and more gentlemanly baBis . _lLoud cheers . ) The conversation respecting this affair theu ceased .

      Thc adjourned debate incommitti e , on tiie Crown and Government _Seeurirv Sill , was _iixed for Friday , at twelve o ' clock , Mr _Faoxn's motion for a committee of tho whole house for Tuesday next , on the subject of ministers ' money in Ir . land , was , after a , debate , rejected by a majority of ]* , tho numbers 1-19 to 73 . After somo other business had been gone _through the house adjourned .
