      TIPPERARY ( COUNTY . ) Archdeacon _Lafrut rose , and was greeted with a tremendous burst of acclamation .

When he charged the landlords with driving out their unfortunate tenants , and starving them , did you stand up then , Mr Collett , and call him a liar ? ( Laud cheers . ) De you know my lord Suirdale , what a Frenchman said of John Bull ? Hesaid / _Hensodyonverywell _. forheeated da oyster and gave yoa de shell .

      to the starving people . ( Groaning . ) And what did the _Amerieansdo—glorious America f . ( Irad _oheeringH-tbo land ofthe brave , where freedom ' s sod was never soiled ? ( Great _cheare . ) What did brave America do ? The President , tha Government , the people sent their beat war ships , manned with thoir nrtle Yankee sailors ( cbeers ) , with food , not _borabihellr , to our shores .

( Loud laughter . ) Lincoln contains 1 , 859 toter 3—Colonel Sibthorpe opposed you—ha headed the poll .

( Renewed laughter . ) And , after that , yon come to Tipperary , to try the Tipperary boys ! ( Laughter . ) A Voice . —Oh , what a chance he has ! ( Renewed laughter . )

      The AECHDiicox—He bas , indeed ! Why , I have here a list of voters for my own two parishes , and there are in those two parishes alone a _majority of seven over his whole sorry supporters in the barony of Middlcthird . ( Loud ebeera . ) Put that in your pipe , Mr Collett , and smoke it . ( Laughter . ) Electors of Tipperary , I am going to propose as a candidate a _yeung man , and he is not a bit the worse for being a Roman Catholic —( laughter)—a man was never the _wotsb for knowing how to bless himself . ( Cheers . ) He is a handsome fellow , too . ( Laughter . ) I beg leave to propose Francis . Scully as ait and proper person to represent Tipperary . ( Loud cbeers . ) His father , tbe late James Scully , was , at the worst of times , at the head of the Catholics of this county . ( Cheers . ) Ia 1823 , the year before Catholie Emancipation—of which measure , my lord , your lordship ' s ancestors were the most strenons

      advocates—Dr _BuauE—A cheer for the old Hutchinsons . ( Loud cheers . ) The Archkacon—I remember in Dr Burke ' s present chapel the late lamented O'Connell , may God be merciful to bim ! ( Sensation . ) Fray for him , Mr Collett . ( Laughter . ) Dr _Bcbke—If he knows how . ( More laughter . ) The _AucHnsAcoN—The late Daniel _^ O'Connell was present—James Scully was in the chair . ' I am delighted , ' said the Liberator , ' to see you in the chair , James Scully , as the brother of the distinguished 1

      author of the Penal Laws . ( Loud cheers . ) We must have fair play ; we'll beat him into rags , so tbat his English friends won't know him . ( ' Hear , ' and laughter . ) They'll say , * Can this be the Collett that stood for Lincoln ? ' ( Loud laughter . ) . Eleotors of Tipperary , you'll do your duty ; we want Ireland for the Irish . ( Loud cheers . ) Our standard is the green flag of Erin . ( Tremendous cheers . ) 'On our side is virtue and Erin ; The friends we have tried Are by our side ,

      And Collett is before us . ' ( Loud cheers . ) I am speaking at random—daughter ) but I had a very good speech prepared ; and yoa , Mr Collett spoiled it —( laughter)—by coming up at the eleventh hour with your bamboo head . ( Laughter . ) I really believe it ' s not the first good thing you spoiled . ( Laughter . ) Sir Joseph Yorke , in the House of Commons , at one time said , that if Ireland was _four-and-twenty hours under water , it weuld be peaceable , and not till then . Little Johnny Russell has adopted a different plan ; he adopted starring them in millions . ( Loud groaning . ) You may-go home to Lincoln , Mr Collett ; do you live near it ? ( Laughter . ) Go home and tell them from us , that we are Irish—the descendants of the old Spaniards .

      ( Cheera . ) You are not a Spaniard , you are more like a Creole , ( Loud laughter . ) Tell them from ns that we are net so to be trampled npon —( cheers ) —that we repudiate both Whigs and Tories ; and if Old Nick had both of them Old Ireland would be much better off . ( Laughter . ) We are moral force Repealers . ( Tremendous cheering . ) We are the disciples of the Great O'Connell—he oi European fame . ( Lond cheers . ) We are his followers , and though he is dead , we wiil hoist his banner for re-Eeal , liberty , and Old Ireland . ( Great cheering . ) I ave great pleasure , my lord and electors ol Tipperary , in proposing Francis Scully as a fit and proper representative for gallant Tipperary . The venerable archdeacon resumed hia seat amidst the loudest _demoaslratitns of applause .

      It would be unjust , however , if we did not show the other side ofthe medal : If redolent of fun , tho Irish elections are not wanting in sound political philosophy . At the Antrim County Election , Sir E . Macnaghten gave a rery able exposition of his political princi p les , in the course of which he thus expressed himself on tbat great and fundamental question—the Land question : —The produce of their hud , and the condition of the people , he considered to be capable of equal improvement . But culture must be applied in each case—without it , they could never hope to } attain the prosperity of England , They bad a soil generally superior , a climate suited to tbe growth ol most vegetables , anda population , in natural intelligence , at least equal to their neighbours ;

      and yet , while they were the wealthiest of the inhabitants of Europe , they were , perhaps , the most impoverished . It was of no use to say want of capital was the proximate cause of their inferiority . It was this capital which they ought to create , and tbey had it in their power to do so . He knew of no species of capital that was not traceable to and derivable from land . There were large districts of country j in Norfolk and Lincolnshire , now bearing the finest crops of wheat and turnips , which 71 or SO years ago produced nothing but rabbits . The average number of bushels of wheat to the acre over all England was 26 . In Lincolnshire and Norfolk it was 35 and 40 ; and if all England was as well cultivated as those two counties , it would produce more wheat than could be consumed in it , and she would be an exporting

      country until her population was increased by 10 or 12 millions . The land he spoke of in Norfolk , 60 or 10 years ago , let for 2 s . 6 d . an aere . It now lets for 30 a . Why should not a similar increase take place in their own produce ? As ' agriculturists . we should remember in what a prodigious degree land bad been raised iu valua since manufactures began to flourish . It was the manufacturing classes that were their best customers . It was they who had created the markets for their produce . It was they who had raised the price of their laud ; aud , in fact , it was they who paid their rents . As he had scud before , it devolved upon them to . improve their lands ; to _cultiratothose which had hitherto lain waste ; if they did not do so , it would be their own fault that their _coiditioo was not bettered _.

      LIMERICK ( fiomail . Tha triumphant return of Ur Smith O'Brien hat inflicted a ' heavy blow aad great discouragement * on tha family eliqus which has assumed the Repeal _leadership f Conciliation Hall . Every device _tbatiageaalty eould suggest was unsirupulouily prattiied to secure the election ofthe representative of tbe _Oldlrelaid faction ; all , however , was worse than useless—the motive wbich suggested the violent opposition to the champion of Young _lrelasdiam was too transparemt to deoeive the most gullible ; and , though _abient , and without the expenditure of a single _sUUliag on his parly Ur O'Brien won the day by a majority of 40 orer Ur Caleb Powell .

      time by _goisg through them ; I have merely brought them to proTe , if required , that I hate in tblt hall , ' and in print , erer maintained those general principles which I shall state before yon this day . Itis said I bave altered my opinions ; let me ask , who is it wh o ** opinions bare not undergone some change ! Is it me 1 Is it you ! or is there any man who has aerer been induced io some degree ta modify bis Tiews 1 I . m utrn a Torymd I stuck to Toryism , « t « « leotvme as dead as a doer nail , ( A laugh . ) Dickens says , | _'How dead a door tail ie he could not tell , ' but ofthis he was sure , ' tbat It was Tery dead indeed . ' But not more dead than Toryism , wbich is as dead as any doornail can be . ( laughter . ) The people will stand by it no longer . I was not Insensible ofthe errors of those who marched under the

      name of Toryism , and ofthe evils that were caused by those errors ; and I was one of tbe few who left that party in this county , and would not support the late _Celonel Sumner upen the single question © f reform . I considered seme reform wat wantsd , and I propostd Mr Briscoe as a representative , on those grounds . I said then , that there was an under current below the eddies which were bearing them along—which undercurrent , !/ proper measures were not adopted , would carry both ¦ ffhig and Tory away . ( Hear . ) Well ! the names of Tery and Whig nave been carried away by the under _, current of popular opinion ; the people now will not be convinced of a man ' s capacity to serve them by the adoption of one er the other of these terms . ( Hear . ) _Ido not know t » lat Toryism means , and Ihiovi at little of

      _Coiueroalwsi . ( Mangh . ) A Conservative is one who would keep what he has get ; now we all want to do that , in our own affairs , ( Laughter . ) Peel surely can . not be called a Conservative after what he baa done j and what shall _wesBjr of my Lord WharncMe , who holds that Peers ought not to be Judges , Then there ' s my Lord Stanley , who says , that Bishops have no bus ! . _, _ness in the _Heuse of Lords , ( bear , and a laugh ;) and what is Liberalism . There is Macaulay , a Liberal , turned out of Edinburgh , to make room for another Liberal , who says he has a right to ask for any piece ef land be likes , to build a Dissenting Place of Worship on . ( A laugh . ) Under all these circumstances it Is absolutely nonsense to expect that I can do my duty to my country , to you , and to myself , by adapting any _pgrty

      watchword , I must be allowed to follow sn independent course . I must be independent of all snch wordi as Whig or Tory , and regard prinoiple alone . Whiglsm is as dead as Toryism , and there is now but one principle of carrying on tbe business of the country , now that those two forms bave ceased . It bas been settled that tbe privileged class _should exist no more , as a superior class in tbe legislature : It has beeu determined that class legislation shall come to an end—in this deterinination I join . ' ( Loud cheers . ) Tou send ma to Parliament in _thii year of 1847 , and I must act differently to what I should bave done , had 1 been elected in the year 1827 , because tbe principles upon wbicb legislation should be based , are _different now to what they tben were . It is as absolutely impossible to legislate upon

      tbe same principles in 1817 as in 1827 , as for tbe Carlists whe went back to France with Louis the 18 tb , to coudact the government of that country upon the sane principles upon which it was conducted before the Revolution . ( Cbeers . ) There must now be perfect equality for all . Tou must not take tbe money from _ene sect to support the clergy of another sect . ( Loud cheering . ) As it regards the system of Free Trade , many things will have to be _caatiduid , 1 th tap <» _sftle for that question to remain where it is at present ; we must not continue to tax the manufacture of malt , while the manufacture ef cotton remains untaxed ; we cannot be content with the little bit oi Free Trade we bare bad given us , ( hear , hear , ) we will have the whole hog , not the small miserable pig we have now , ( Laughter , )

      In this , as in other things , thera must , I repeat , be perfect equality to all . No one class shall domineer over another , or be domineered over by another . ( Loud cheers ;) Gentlemen , you bave done wisely in not exacting pledges from your representatives , if you bad required them Imust have declined giving tbem , not because I might be enabled to say to your inquiries ( wben I come to give an account of my trust ) why did you do this !—why didyounet do the other?—tbat I never bound myself , aud considered myself perfectly free to do as Hiked , but because I cannot understand where tbe common sense it of asking me what I shall do in cases where I am not acquainted with all the circumstances . ( Hear , bear . ) Put me to sea in command of

      a ship with her masts overboard , and with difficulty answering to her helm , and ask me what I should do ; I would teli you tbat I would keep ber head to the wind , and out at sea as long as I possibly could , and failing this I would run her ashore in the best place I could , with the hope of saving the lives of the crew . ( Hear , and cheers . ) If you ask me how I would fight a battle , I would tell yen that it depended upon what sort of men I had under my command , tbe eendltioa of their arms , and tbe nature of the ground where the battle is to be fought . ( Cheers . ) I can enly therefore mark out the general _course which I Intend to pursue . lam neither unused nor disinclined to work , and in returning thanks forthe bononr you hare done ma , I beg to assure you ) I will serve you to the best of my ability .

      had lived on bread soaked in water , with a little _sedt to raise the five pounds to join Mr O'ConHor _' _s Land Company , he could not forget it night nor day , and feeling persuaded that nothing would be done for thc people until they were better represented ; and if the working classes would make such sacrifices , it was the duty of every well-wisher of his fellow-man to do all in his power to assist him to obtain a vote . He thought a society might be formed , and monthly subscriptions made of from 4 s . to one pound per month to purchase freehold property in this district ; and if it was shown to the country that such a plan worked well , other places would join them , and many votes could be obtained before another election . He showed the

      good that would be derived by every man having a vote- He said he did not know much of Mr O'Connor ' s plan , but he thought the plan he had laid down was not so complicated , but could be much better carried out . A few words were spoken by two or three or behalf of Mr O'Connor ' s plan , but sufficient information could not be given . All seemed desirous to learn as much as they could upon it _. The Rev . gentleman was heartily thanked for his lecture . Many questions have been asked in tbis town and vicinity about the Land Plan , and if one of the Directors , or some other public speaker could give alecture on some Tuesday evening , I doubtnot but some of the middle , and many af the working , classes would join when they properly understood it .

      _Laublet . —On _Menday the 16 th of August , the Chartists of Lambley held a tea-party at the house of Mr Shacklock , sign ofthe Nag ' s Head , to celebrate the return of Messrs O'Connor and Walter for Nottingham . The large room was decorated with banners and evergreens , One hundred and ten sat down to tea , the management of which did credit to the host and hostess . Mr Charles Bridge , head constable and churchwarden , waa called to the chair ; Mr Henry Plumb , secretary of this branch of the Land Company , to the vice-chair ; and when ample justice had been done , to the good things of this life , the tables were cleared for dancing ; Songs , and recitations were kept up till a late hour , when all departed for home , highly delighted with the evening ' s entertainment .

      Nbwcashb . —A public tea was held on Monday evening , at the house of Martin Jude , to celebrate the allottees taking possession ofthe Lowbauds Estate . After tea , the assembly were gratified by listening to the _eloquence of Thomas Dickenson , M . P . for the inhabitants of South Shields .

      Dusl At Camden Town, Trial Of Lieutenant...

      _DUSL AT CAMDEN TOWN , TRIAL OF LIEUTENANT MMltO . Judging by the thin attendance of visitors In the com t , the interest that once attached to the affair of the Camden Town duel _appaared to bava completely subsided . Thera was none of that barricading of doors ; demanding of tickets , and examination of claims to admittance that attended tbe trials of tbe gentlemen who were implicated as seconds and surgeon in the duel . The mere fact of the prisoner who was about to stand at the bar to-day being the surviving principal added nothing to the interest . On thecontrary , there were not two _appllcants for admission to the court for five who sought to be present at the trials of the seconds . Amongst tbe distinguished persons who were accommodated with seats upon the bench , wero the Marquess of _Anglesea , tbe Earl of Arundel and Surrey , and tbe Earl of March . ¦

      At ten o ' clock , Mr Justice Erie entered the court , aad , having _talien his seat , _A-exander Thompson Munro was placed at tho bar to plead to an indictment charging him with the wilful murder of David Lynar Fawcett . He pleated not guilty . The Attorney . General , Mr _Waddingtwi , and Mr Clark _, appeared for the Crows . The prisoner was defended by Mr Clarkson aud Mr Bodkin . The Attorney General stated tbe case . The circumstances wero certainly ef a most painful and distressing character . The prisoner was a gentleman wbo bore a high character ior valour and good conduct , and by his merit , had succeeded in obtaining the rank of adjutant in the regiment of Royal Horse Guards ; and theunfor .

      tunate deceased was also a gentleman who had distinguished himself highly in the service of his country , and be bad likewise ; chiefly by his own merit , obtained the ranlcof _Lieuteuant-Colonel In the 55 th Regiment of Foot , These gentleman bad married two sisters , and it would appear tbat there had been some family differences between tbem , to whicii he should not any further allude , because they did not at all affect the present inquiry , and could not offer any extenuation of tbe act imputed to the prisoner . It appeared that on the Friday be . fore the 1 st of July , there had been a dispute between the deceased and the prisoner , and the result was that a hostile ' meeting took place between them in a field near the Brecknock Arms , at Islington , and there , no doubt , the unfortunate deceased , Colonel Fawcett , met bis death , by a shot fired by the prisoner . The injury was not immediately mortal , but the unfortunate deceased lingered twi > or three days , and then

      expired . He assured them tbat , these being the facts of the case , he had looked most anxiously through the evidence , to see if there was any chance of his escape from a charge of murder , _andbekaew that tbe jury , as gentlemen and men of honour , would anxiously do the same , but he feared that the evidence would not admit of any doubt upon the point . He should call as witnesses persons who were actually present at the proceed _, ing , and his duty would also compel him to call as a witnees the gentleman who acted as second to Colonel _Fan-cett , who would prove that the parties met in deadly conflict , and that they saw the prisoner level the deadly weapon , discharge it , and observed the fatal result . Tbe present law might probably have hitherto been found insufficient to repress offences of this description , and some alteration might possibly be advisable j but it ap . pearedtohimtbat the degradation of a conviction upon such acharge , would most likely be found snf & cient to deter others from committing them in future .

      In support of his statement , Dr Gulliver , who was called in by Lieut . Munro to attend in bis professional capacity ; Major Cuddy , tbe second of Colonel Fawcett ; Charles Longman , the coachman to Lieut . Munro ; and Dr Liston , the surgeon , who attended the deceased , were examined . Dr Gulliver in his evidence in chief , stated that Lieut . Munro charged Colonel Fawcett with ' levelling on him ; ' in bis Cross-examination , he explained that term , and also some clrcumstaaces connected with tbe oase generally . By the expression ' levelling , ' I understand that Lieutenant Munro accused Colonel Fawcett of

      deliberately levelling at and covering him with bis pistol , instead of firing immediately tbe signal was given . I expected Colonel Fawcett would have died almost immediately , but be rallied , and it was then that he told the policeman it wns an accident . The deceased must have bad arm raised at the time be received tbe wound , and this was clearly shown by the appearance of tbe skin . I heard Mr Munro say on shaking hands with Colonel Fawcett 'God bless you , Fawcett ; I forgive jou , ' Tbe regiment was about to change its quarters on the morning in question . Upon my _firat refusal Lieut . Munro implored me to go with bin t » tbe extremity , and he said he bad been very ill-used . He appeared to be in a state of tbe greatest anxiety and despondency , and certainly did not appear to be . actuated by anyin . dictive feeling . He intimated that be bad been groBslj

      insulted in tbe presence of the servants , but said he should be satisfied with _theshadotv of an apology . Tn the army be was considered a mild , _inofftnslvo man , and the last man who would have sought a quarrel , and be appeared in this case to hope that the matter might be settled without coming to any mischief , His father rose from the ranks by his bravery , and led the forlorn hope at the storming of _Seringapatam , Lieut , Munro was not a man of fortune , and be bad risen entirely by his own merit , and bad universally the reputation of being a distinguished officer , and a mild , humane , and benevolent man . He has a wife aud six children , alt of them daughters , I believe . By hlsab . sense without leave he bas lost bis commission , whioh was worth £ 2 , 300 or _£ 2 , 50 _»; and I believe has been reduced to great poverty .

      Re-examined : I believe he left the country after this unfortunate occurrence . The Attorney . _General said , the fact be believed was that Lieut , Munro had returned to England of his own accord , and voluntarily surrendered himself _. Major Caddy , after obtaining from the court all assurance that his answers should not criminate himself , _guve a full account of the transaction , ns far as he was concerned . After describing the manner ia which be was brought into the affair , and on tbe field , be said : —I bad a case of pistols , and to the best of my recollection one was loaded by Mr Grant and another by myself , Mr Grant then measured H paces ; tbey were very long . Mr Grant then placed Lieutenant Munro in tho position be

      was to stand , and 1 took un Colonel Fawcett ; and it was agreed tbe signal was to be * Gentlemen , are you ready ? Fire ! ' Mr Grant gave that signal , and almost instantaneously after . _vards a shot was fired by Mr Munro , Almost immediately Colonel _Fancett fired , and Mr Munro exclaimed— 'Did you see it ? he covered me as dead as possible ; he intended to shoot me . ' Colonel Fawcett replied , ' No , I did not . 1 never intended to fire . ' Lieutenant Munro came up and tried to shake bands with Colonel Fawcett , at the same time saying , ' Fawcett , 1 forgive you , 'and immediately afterwards left the . ground with Lieutenant Grant . I assisted to convey Colonel Fawcett to some public house , where ho was refused admittance , and I then went to fetch Sir B . Brodle .

      Mr Clarkson put several questions , wi » h the view of showing that Colonel Fawcett had previously been engaged in duels , that officers bad been dismissed from the army for not resenting an insult , and the absence of all malice on the part of the prisoner , but tbey were overruled by the conrt . Mr Clarkson made an able defence—and then called as witnesses to character , the Earl of March , tbe Earl of Arundel , Mr Ross , a _morchaat , Dr Rutherford , the Marquess of Anglesey , Colonel Bouverie , Lord _Georga Manners , Mr _Ferciral , formerly an officer In the regiment , and a corporal and private , all of whom gave tbe prisoner the highest character for humanity , kindness , and inoffenslveness of disposition .

      Colonel Bouverie : I _command the regiment of Bluep . The prisoner bas been in it more than 28 years . I was with the regiment at Waterloo . I hare known the prisoner 24 or 25 years . His conduct as an officer and a gentleman was under my notice , and 1 consider It unexceptionable in every particular . He was not at all addieted to quarrel . Thomas _Kidd , a private in the regiment , said be knew tbe prisoner wben he was a _noa-aommissloued officer . He said that s kinder man never breathed than the prisoner , and that was bis general character in the regiment . The Attorney General then said , that in the capacity of public prosecutor , and appearing for the Crown , he had the fight of reply to the speech ofthe prisoner ' s counsel ; but , at he felt that this case would rest entirely upon tho direction of bis _lordshlpin _pointof law , he should not exercise the right in this instance , _butfbould leave the case in the bands of his lordship and of tbe jury .

      Mr Justice Erie then summed up . The prisoner waB charged with the offence of murder , in having killed another iu a duel , and , notwithstanding the observations that had been made by the learned counsel for the prisoner with regard to the law upon this question , he was _boond to tell them that It was undoubtedly tbe law of England , and had been se from time Immemorial , that if two persons went out deliberately , and armed with deadly weapons , for tbe purpose of fighting a duel , If one of them was killed the survivor was guilty of murder . This was the law of the case , and It was their duty to apply ibe faots to the law so stated without reference to the Interest of either party , and be was suae they would feel that tba interests of tenth were by fov the most important _eonsidoratiou , Tho duty ol tbe to act

      jury was upon the law as laid _slowu by _coaiprtent authority , aad the highest _interest of society demanded that they should do so , and that they should not be led away or _iaduced to act upon wns _tapvesrion oi _^ , bat _*! r ° » *! _. /! , h 8 law 0 U 8 ht tftb _° . _Theleatuedjudge then _alladed to tbe evldenoo _. andsald _thatifthey enter .

      Tbe Jury then retired , and was _absentabout a quarter of an hour , when _thsy returned into court and gave their verdict finding the prisoner guilty , but at the same time strongly recommended him to the merciful consideration of the court , HU _lordship then addressed tbe prisoner , aud said tbat the Jury had felt themselves _eompelled \ o , return a vetdiet « f guilty against blm _^ _butthoy bad accompanied It witk a recommendation to meroy , and , under all _circumitancee , to felt Justified iu m «« lj ordering judg-
