      The carcumstanee has caused more excitement in Irome than-TFe remember to have existed upon any jttCTions occasion , 5 n consegnence of the masters apd Liberal Dissenters having refused the -Chartists the use * f any of their buildings , for the purpose of iheirown meetnigSj -while those monihing Liberals , sot » month finee , outstripped the most Tiolenf Chartist in Tiolence , when their aid -eras courted by file Leaguers and ^ Dissenters for the purpose of resisting the educational clauses in the Factory BilL The CharMsts offered fifty sh 2 BDgs , or any price in iuit , fora place to meet in , bnt were disappointed , hafing received Sat and impertinent refusals -from fiie League and 4 he Dissenters . There is no doubt that ibe discovery , and the calamity which

      was a consequence , of she ilHberaliiy of the middle classes , will hive a contrary effect to that which by the exercise of their petry power they bad anticipated . The people witnessed the sneers and jeers of their liberal friends upon the announcement of ihe nunoHr that ran through the town , like lightning , that Fesrgns CfConnor -was iflled . Mr . O'Connor , howeyer , baring learned tie true cause of fee disaster from the working men , assured them ihennsforinne shonld not proTe a triumph tO faction ; 1 « that ie -HronJd" return on Monday next to Irome , and hold an outdoor meeting npon firm ground which would not giro way . This annonnceia . pi was xeoerred with loud cheers , and the Commiitee forgetting the past danger , in the anticipated

      return of Mr . {^ Connor , set to work immediately to make arrangements for giving effect to the meeting of Monday nextj which is to take place at ax o ' clock in the evening . The Liberals hare already leeerred a taste of ihat retribution which the Chartist body haTB resolTed upon taking . They hare spent a a portion of their time in going about 3 n a hopeless endeavonr to conciliate the * wonnded .

      1 BISH DISTURBANCES . —IMPOETANT CORRESPONDENCE . ( From ihe Freemarfs Journal . ) Dublin , July 10 th , 1843 . Mt Lord , —At the present crisis 2 deem it the bonnden dnty of every lover of the peace , happiness , and prosperity of their country , to furnish those who have the power to make laws with any facts which they may consider essential , to the end that th 03 e laws may be as jast and as equitable as human wisdom can devise . I It appears , by the pablished report of the debate on the Irish Arms Bill , that yonr Lordship has stated— ** 1 st . That murders have been committed in Ireland with greater impunity than in any other conntry in the worM .

      M 2 ndly . That there is more difficulty in bringing the guilty parties in Ireland to justice than there is in any . otber country in the world . i " 3 rdly . That the crime of robbery of fire arms is unknown in England or in any other country except Ireland . And with a view to remedy those I acknowledged evils you have introduced the Irish Aims ' Bffl . " i 2 $ ow , my Lord , I know a good deal about Ireland . I have been frequently tnrongh nearly every part of it ; and-although lam aware that it may , for a time , make me very unpopular , yet , justice-strict justice , demands that 2 should not only confirm your Lordship ' s statement , bnt must add that I have always looked npon the meddling of the Irish Catholio priesthood in matters , I may say , of a strictly temporal nature , to have been exceedingly mischievous , though I believe well-intentioned . .

      The opposition which the Irish ArmB Bill has received , and is still likely to receive , in its progress through the House of Commons , will afford mo Bifficient time to supply your Lordship with some important facts which youliaye omitted , and which 1 hope yon will lay before Parliament . I have the honour to be , my Lord , Your Lordship ' s most obedient servant , Patrick O'Hjggins . To the Bight Honourable Lord Eliot , House of Commons , London . 2 rish Office , July 12 , 1843 . SrB—I have io acknowledge with thanks the receipt of yonr commnnieation of the 10 th inst . I am , Sir , Your obedient servant , ^ Eliot . Patrick CHiggins , Esq ., Dublin .

      Mt Lobs—I have been duly honoured by your lordship ' s letter acknowledging the receipt of my communication of the 10 th inst . 2 shall now , in fulfilment of the promise which I made in that communication , supply yonr Lordship With a few important facts which yon omitted j to state when yon brought forward the Irish Arms ' Bill in the House of Commons , la doing so 1 shall take the liberty to say that in my humble opinion' it is the imperative duty of any one who may occupy the high and onerous position which your Lordship occupies , armed tx-qfficio with the power to make laws , to have those laws based upon truth , upon justice , and upon equity ; to the end that the whole community , that is to say , the well disposed , may

      admit their justice , obey them cheerfully , and respect and honour the authors of them . But , my Lord , a willing obedience to the laws or respect for lawmakers cannot be expected ; from a people while they are under the i mpression that those laws are founded upon a partial statement of a case , in order to justify their enactment . The fnllest , most rigid , and impartial inquiry should be instituted prior to the introduction of a bill such as the Arms' Bill . And 1 hope that 2 shall convince your Lordship that a Parliamentary inquiry similar to that to which I have partially allnded is absolutely necessary as a matter of common justice , as a preliminary step ! io tbe introduction of the Irish Arms' Bill , or of any clner bill of a similar tendency .

      My Lord , you have stated , and your Lordship ' s statement has gone far and wide : — ¦** 1 st . That the crime of Jobbery of fire armstiB unknown in England , or in any other conntry except in Ireland . " 2 nd . That there are more murdeis committed in Ireland * , * and with greater impnnity , than in ~ any other country in the world . " 3 rd . That there is more difficulty in bringing the gnil'y parties in Ireland to jastice than there is in

      any other country /* ! Now , my LoTd , I believe these three propositions to be circumstantially trne . Bnt yonr Lordship omitted altogether to state the cause of those disgraceful murders ; who were the pariif s murdered , and by whom , and under what pretence . Surely , my Lord , a great statesman , nndenaking to legislate for nine millions of people , should have stated the whole case , and should not have relied upon vague , loose , and indefinite accusation against a whole nation , as a justification of a harsh , partial , and arbitrary law .

      Tst . With respeei to the crime of robbery of firearms in 2 reland—a crime which your Lordsnip says , and Bays truly , is unknown in England or any other country—itisrignt to trace the cause to the fountain head . Why , then , is this crime unknown in England 1 Because a cherished minority of the people of England are not empowered by penal statutes to sally forth and rob the hated , persecuted , and calumniated majority of their fire-arms . If such were the case in England , which is but too true with respect to Ireland , those who under the colour of law were robbed cf their fire-arms and made the galley slaves of the minority , would endeavour to get their fire-arms back again , same as they do in Ireland , wholly regardless whether any Noble Lord would call it robbery or not . 1

      There was an act paseed in 1819 , entitled , " The Search for Arms Bill . " This bill waa brought into Parliament by the late Lord Castlerea&h , whd cut his throat at Jforrh Cray , in Kent , three years afterwards . I believe it was the last aci of Parliament that empowered the minority to seize and carry away the fire-arms of the great majority of the Irish people . 2 s it fair or just to charge with robbery of fire-arms those who make a feeble effort occasionally to get their own property back again 1 There is a parson of the established chnrch , who is still Bvicg in tbe county Armagh , who was a captain of a \ eomasry corps as well as a parson , and

      who , in tbe exuberance of his loyalty , spent the greater part of the Sabbath day drilling and training his corps , and preparing them for " search for arms" campaigns ; and upon such occasions was not unfrequently too late in church to exchange his military accoutrements before the performance of divine service , and who was therefore under the necessity of throwing nis surplice over his TinfonD , and thus attired , proceed to discharge the duties of a minister of peace , npon which occasions his sword used to peep out trom under hiB surplice , to the infinite amusement of the unrigh eous , and the disgrace of that church of which he is a minister .

      With bible and with bayonet , by tarns this hero chose , To save the soals of orange friends , and cut down Papist foes . Itis very probable that thi 3 reverend gentleman ib one of icosewhom Mr . Walter , of the Times , defizgnaied as " snrplieed ruffians . " It would occupy too much of yonr Lordship ' s time to treacle you with the perusal of the several satntes empowering and authorising the favoured few to deprive the perbeouted m&ny of their firearmsin Ireland . Bntj in order that your Lordship may see those statutes at one view , I bee leave to refer you to ** Scully ' B Penal Laws , " and " Howard ' s Popery Cases . " Blackstone says , » that the difference ielween a freeman and a slave is , that the

      one manned and the other ibdoi . " The Irish know and feel ihe full force of ibis Baying . Your Lordship ' s second proposition , which in-Tolves tbe third , is , "that there are more more murders committed in Ireland , and wnh greater impunity , than in any other conntry in the world /* ,: This propesition , 1 regret to say , is strictly true . Bnt you omitted to state the cause of those murders , the parties guilty of them , and who were the victims . The remote causeof those barbarous murders may , with strict justice , be attributed to bad laws . Permit me to observe , en passant , that I am one of those who believe that Protestants are just as pious as Catholics , and that they would support their own clergy as the Catholics do , without dipping their hands into their Catholic neighbours * pockets , if the

      law wonld permit ihem to co so . [ The parsons of the church by statate law estar blushed Jn Ireland , are empowered by numerous statntee to take , by force of arms , by the bayonet and the bnllet , ihe property of their Catholic neighbours , for which they give them no consideration , no value , -in return for what they take way , except that of declaring , and sometimes swearing , that their iauh is supeTBtitiOTiB , idolatrous , and damnable , } When you stated that there were more murders committed in Ireland than in any other conntry , von-were bound , in candour and in justice , to have stated boldly and fearlessly that the nineteenths of inore mnrders were committed in the collection of , and resistance to , the payment of tiths ; and what makes the case still worse , those instances com ? mitted in the presence of ministers of religion ^ claiming the tithe as a debt due to Gk » d Almighty , for the Bon-payment of which , they , God ' s ministers

      Untitled Article

      on earth , and magistrates too , exercising both the temporal and spiritual power , commanded the police or soldiers , and sometimes both , to shoot down God ' s creatures , for the love of God and a few shillings alleged to be due to him in the shape of tithe . Now , my Lord ; this is true ; and let me ask yon is there Buoh crnelty , tyranny , cant , and blasphemy established by law in any other country in the world except ia unhappy Ireland ? There were twenty human beings , God ' s creatures , murdered at Skibbereen for a few- perches of potatoes which Parson Morritt said was due to God , but which the poor people refused to dig for him , * and for which refusal , and for endeavouring to protect those which they had Btoied np as their only food for the winter ,

      there were upwards of twenty of them shot dead in one day . Yet Parson Morritt still lives ! At Newtonbarry , on the 18 th of June , 1831 , there were fourteen persons brutally and barbarously murdered for a sum of £ 2 6 s ., tithe alleged to bare been due to God , by a farmer of the name of Doyle ; bnt which £ 2 6 s . hoiefnsed to pay to a Rev . Gentleman of the name of M'Clintook , who assumed to be a man of God a follower of the Apostles , and a teacher of the doctrines of our blessed Redeemer ; but who was , in reality , the brother-in-law of Lord Roden , whom you know ia nephew to the celebrated Bishop of Clogher . Well , Fanner Doyle said that this c < £ Sbtfe # ras )^ &pie to God as alleged by ParsonM * € nntock , nor cfttt , adbording to British

      statute law , till the November following ; whereupon this man of God , this parson M'Clintook , the brotherin-law of Lord Hodeo , who is nephew to the Bishop of Clogher , seized upon some half score of Farmer Doyle ' BC&lvea , impoandedthem , sentfor the police and yeomanry to assist atjtheir sale by auotion . The day of sale arrived ; the police and yeomanry were nnder the command of thiB Christian minister and Captain Graham ; the cattle were brought out of the pound for Bale , when some little boys hissed and hooted at the disgraceful and anti Christian proceedings ; and it is < said , a few stones or pebbles were thrown at the . police , whereupon they fired , volley after volley , upon the crowd going to market , —for this tithe slaughter took place upon the market

      day at xxewtonbarry , —when fourteen persons were shot dead upon the spot , amongst whom was one Mary Mulrooney whose unborn babe was shot dead as well as herself . Here then was a Christian minister shedding blood for money ] Are these crimes enumerated in your Lordship ' s Oatalojjue 1 Arfl crimes so revolting as these known in any other part of the world except in Ireland ! No , no , my Lord , I am sure they are not . Every country on the face of the earth ia a 6 tranger ' to such scenes of iniquity ; At Carrickshock , on the 14 th of December following , nineteen persons were killed in another tithe affray ; and it was proved that when the unfortunate and hasty Captain Gibbons shot the man who laid his hand npon the bridle Of

      the horse Captain Gibbons was riding merely to ask him a question about the tithe proctor , against whom all the hostility of the people was directed , the last words he uttered as he fell were— "boyB , I am gonej but remember Newtownbarry . " Thus , you see , that one massacre lays the foundation of another . Is tiiis the system yon profess to cure by an Irish Arms * Bill ! At Wallstown six persons were shot . At Moncoin a similar number . In short , from one end of Ireland to the other the people have , under Ihe colour of law , been shot down indiscriminately , for the purpose of maintaining the ministers of a chnrch which , after all'these bloody deeds , asserts that it derives its title to support direct from Heaven . I shall pass over the burning of the corn of the poor

      on the pnblic roads , when the men of God could not get bidders for it . 2 thill pase over the deaths in prison , the seizure , branding , and starving to death the cattle of the poor , for the honour and glory of God and the comfort of the parsons—the seizure and sale of the furniture of my own bouse—the hunting of the people with hound and horn , with horse , foot , and artillery—the writs of rebellion againit tithe recusants , by which pauper attorneys amassed large fortunes ;; and come at once to the bloodiest clerical tragedy that ever waa enacted on the face of the earth , which is that ef Rathcormac , on the 24 th day of December , 1834 , Christmas eve J It was here that Parson Ryder , a minister of religion and a justice of the peace , commanded the military to £ r « npon the people who

      surrounded the Widow Ryan S 8 tack-y&rd , to-pr « vent this man of God from ] forcing the gates to take away the corn which she had secured in her stackyard and barn . It was here that Parson Ryder commanded the military to shoot the people , and they did shoot them . And when the heart-broken widow was kneeling by the dead body of her bleeding son , Parson Kydar rode up to her and said—14 Widow Ryan , wjJl you pay me now V Did any thing like this ever occur . in any country in the world except Ireland 1 Were ; the parties guilty of these atrocious crimes brought to justice 1 No—not one of

      them ! It is true , then , as your Lordship has stated it , that there is more difficulty in bringing guilty parties to justice in Ireland than there is in any other country in the world ; and to obviate the difficulty , and as an all efficient remedy , yon bring forward an Irish Arms' ; Bill 1 MyjLord , there cannot be a greater proof , or a better one adduced , of the peaceable and forgiving character of the Irish peoplei , than that Parsons Ryder , Hamilton , and Morritt have not been shot long ago , and that Parson M'Clintock , the brother-in-law of Lord Roden , who , bear in mind , is nephew to the ex-Bishop Of Clogher , Jocelyn , died quietly on his bed .

      In my letter of the 10 th instant I mentioned that I had always looked upon j ihe meddling of the Irish Catholic priesthood in matters which 1 considered as strictly temporal , to have been , though well-intentioned , exceedingly mischievous . I shall now tell you the reason why their ? conduct appeared to me to have a mischievous tendency . It will be admitted that it is the duty of every good member of society to adopt the most efficient means to put an end to the shedding of human blood . Now , my lord , when the people were goaded into madness by rack-rent heartless landlords driving them off their estates in thousands , hundreds of whom perished of want ( of which fact there is ample evidence in the reports of parliamentary committees on the state of Ireland ) ,

      en tbe one hand , and ministers of religion slaughtered and plundered thefpeople by wholesale on the other baud , and when it was well known , and is notoriously true , that the maddened , goaded , plundered people , finding that the laws afforded them no redress , but , on the contrary , oppressed them more and more , and gave additional impunity to their persecutors , had it in contemplation , as a last resource , and as their only hope of preserving themselves from Htter annihilation , to shoot half a-dozen of bishops aud as many titled rack-rent landlords , which would most unquestionably have put a total stop to any further effusion of bloody an end to tithe slaughters , and an end to the wholesale depopulation of the coontry ;—vrell ,: what did the priests do

      in the midst of these scenes of desolation ! They one and all preached to the people to abstain from all acts of violence in retaliation 1 to submit to the will of God ! and actually made them believe that this cruel treatment was inflicted upon them by Divine Providence as a scourge for their sins , and that it was their duty as Christians to submit to it 1 that tho Almighty iroulu aflvrd them redress In due time ; but that they should yield implicit obedience to the laws and those who . were placed in power to rule over them . The result of this advice was additional persecution and accumulated wrongs . The parsons and the landlords having now nothing to fear from resistance , went on shooting and plunderinirtbe people on one hand , and driving them out of

      their holdings to perish : of waut and die in the ditches in hundreds on the other band ; whereas I am thoroughly convinced that had tbe priests refrained from interfering in the matter at all , the people would have soon Jredressed their own wrongs j and although I bave an instinctive horror of bloodshed and violence , yet 1 should , as a choice , prefer being ehot at oece to that of being starved to death by hunger . Nor can 1 for the life of me see the difference , in moral turpitude , between 3 parson of the Established Church shooting a peasant for a few shillings tithe , and a peasant shooting a parson in retaliation ; and considering the rank in society , the education and profession of the parson , there cannot bea shadow of doubt on the mind of any rational man that the balance bfguilt is on the side of the

      parson . ; Have yon , my Lord , ever heard of any country in the world , except Ireland ? alone , where the ministers of a religion of a very Email minority of the people were authorised by statute law to shed blood lor money 1 Ministere professing Christianity , and at the same time trampling upon the acts of the Apostles , and relying with impunity npon Acts of Parliament ! Or have yon ever heard of any other country , except Ireland , jwhere the priests of the people's choice preaehed resignation and submission d

      LONDON . —Golden Lion , Dean Street , Soho Mr . Preston delivered a spirited and instructive lecture here , on Sunday evening last , which was well received by tbe audience . \ / : Star , GoIden ; Lane . —On Sunday last the following resolution was carried unanimously : — " That It is with feelings of Borrow that we read in the Star the two letters from our imprisoned brothers , complaining of the neglect of theJChartists towards their families ; and we are decidedly in favour of 5 Committee being elected pro ( em , according ! to the suggestion of the Editor of tbe Star 1 for we are of opiaion that there are many families at this moment pining in sorrow , neglected and forgotten . We are also prepared with our mitea to aid a General Victim Fund , and will support none other ; for we consider that the man who takes a prominent part in the Agitation has no more right or call to be supported than the man who does not take a prominent part ; All ought to share alike , without distinction to class or rank .

      BIBMINGHAM—At a meeting of tbe Astonstreet locality , on ; Monday evening , July 24 , it was resolved , * ' That it is tho opinion of this meeting , a Conference of Delegates from the Chartists of the various towns and localities in . tbe United Kingdom , to consider and adopt a definite plan of general Organization , should be holden ; on the last Monday in August ; and that tbe said Conference should take place in Birmingham , it being most favourably situated for that purpose . ' It was also resolved , " That the various plans of Organisation which bad appeared in tbe Star should be broucht before a General Meeting of the Members of the locality on Monday evening , July ! 31 st , at seven o ' clock , that the , wishes of tbe locality may be ascertained , and instructions for a delegate formed " .

      DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association met at six o ' clock on'Sunday last , at No . 14 , North Anne Street , Mr . Simon Tobin in the chair . The following resolution Was unanimously adopted -. — ¦* That having ascertained beyond all doubt or question that tbe reason why the British Minister abandoned his original threat to embody the English militia regiments , for the purpose of ^ putting down ,, by force of arms , the Repeal Movement , upon the old Castlereagh system ot arming tbe British people and bringing them into hostile collision with the Irish in Ireland , and vice versa , web entirely and exclusively owing to the wkie-spreau influence and indoininable spirit of Cbartism ; that tbe returns which were made to the general order to embody the militia , by the ; Lieutenants and Doputy Lieutenants

      of Counties , and Colonels aud Lieutenant Colonels of the Staff of the several militia regiments in England , wer < - totbe effect that tha great majority of the working classes of Great Britain were so deeply embued with Chartist principles , it would be dangerous v » enroll , drill , arm , and equip them ; that it was impossible to raise a regiment in England without having two-thirds of the men not only favourable to a Repeal of the Union , but to a severance of the two countries , should tbe Irish desire it ; that nearly the whole of the English peasantry , and u vast portion of tho middle classes , including the entire body of Dissenters , are opposed to the continuance t > f- '» Protestant Church Establishment tn Ireland , and anxiously desiro its total and ( tamedlate abrogation : that Aftor this signal service t * the people

      or Ireland , those ! who arrogate to themselves the exclusive advocacy , of the Repeal of the Union , will bo guilty of base ingratitude , unless they publicly ack owledge the noble . Independent , and truly Christian conduct of tbe British Chartists ; that it is now obvious that tho minister cannot , for any bounty , ; get Chartists to enlist in a crusade against tbe liberties of the people of Ireland ; and that , therefore , his only hope to put down the Repeal Movement , is by getting Irishmen , who are not Chartiits , to enlist for that tyrannical purpose . That W 6 j the members of the I rish Universal Suffrage Association , In public meeting lawfully assembled , do hereby most cordially and heartily tender our warmest thanks to our ' British Chartist : Brethren for having , by a strict adherence to the true and genuine

      principles of liberty ! disappointed the Minister and saved the country from the horrors of a civil war ; and we emphatically call upon every honest man in Ireland to join us in oar grateful thanks to the Chartists of Great Britain . '' This resolution was passed amidst the most enthusiastic cheering . A wonderful change in favour of Chartism has taken place during the ! last week in consequence of the publication of a correspondence between 'Mr . O'Higgins and Lord Elioti although it appears in one paper only , the Freeman ' s Journal , n » other paper having had either the courage or the honesty to publish it . Thatjsneaklng , beggarly , half republican , toad-eating and sycophantic paper , the Nation , declined the publication ot this admirable correspondence ; for this correspondence-gave the lie to the Nation , { and ail Other trading politicians who have asserted ever and

      over again that MrJ O'Higgina and the Irish Universal Suffrage Association were In the pay cjt the Tories . They refused to do this act of common justice to a man and an association which they bave basely' calumniated . Hundreds of pounds of the public money have been ep « nt in fruitless efforts to suppress Chartism in Ireland . Even the very CaUiolio Churches have been the depots of bearing false witness against Chartists '; the walls of those aacred edifices have been polluted ] by the false testimony of the O'Connella , the Steels , the Daunte , tho Bays , the Me'Nallya , the Byrnes , the JFzenches , the Hearnes , the Mc'Hughs , the Kellys , and others . Nevertheless Chartiam is flourishing in Ireland . Nothing has tended so much to dispel the delusion under which the citizens of DabHn wfere labouring , as thifl recent correspondence with Lord Eliot .
