" 15 CE 5 DABISX . —Bkdtoxd , Sept . 7- —Daring the past week a painful degree of alarm ha * been created in some parts of this county owing to the reviYal of those incendiary outrages which spread dismay throughout the district last winter . A most destructiTe fire took place at a farm in the occupation of Mr . Pope , of Lower Caldicott , an extensive fanner , and who is also landlord of the King ' s Head . The flvnea broke ost aooa after eleven o ' clock on Wednesday night and spread rapidly over the homestead before any alarm was given . A large number of labourers collected , who generally evinced a disposition to render assistance but owing to the difficulty of obtaining a sufficient supply of water their efforts proved unavailing . The

      property consumed consisted of the produce of nearly three acres of wheat in the straw , three acres of barley also in the straw , some live stock , and the wholeof the farm bnlldings . 2 fone of the workmen were on the premises later than eight o'clock on that evening , Were everything was left apparently safe , and it is said that the flames broke out at two separate parts of the stack-yard—a fact which strengthens the presumption that it was the act of an incendiary . On the previous morning , so early as two o ' clock , another fire broke out near Briggleswade , on the premises of a man named Giles Smith , a gardener . There w&s a large quantity of dry straw in the yard , which rapidly ignited , and the dimes attained a frightful ascendancy before assistance was obtained . Messengers wer » * ent off to Briggleswade , the nearest town , for the engine , but on its arrival there was , as usual , a death of water . The fire had spread over the yard , and every attempt to arrest its progress failed . The

      dwellinghouse , barn , stales , and other onl-huildirjgs together with some pigs , "were wholly consumed . The property was not insured . The origin of the fire has not been accounted for . On the same morning , and nearly at the same hoar , another fire eccurred at Tempsford in a « ottage occupied by two men , named Page and Jeevta . The inmates , who were aroused from their beds , narrowly escaped with life . The bniiding and the greater part of the property was consumed . It is supposed that this fire resulted from negligence . On Thursday morning another fire broke out at QjIdington , in a cottage belonging to a labourer named Gaunt . The damage was inconsiderable , as the fire was speedily discovered . It ia supposed to have been caused by cbidren wbufcad been amusing themselves with luci / er ttstches , one of which is presumed to have fallen among-gome barley spread to dry on the Hoot Another £ * e took place as Toddington , on the premises of Mr . Fiii , staler and harnessmaker , on Tnesday night

      ' Fatal Omnibus Accident . —Mr . W . Payne held another inquest on Monday evening , at St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital , on the body of John Pendlebury , » ged 26 , condnctor of one of Noyes ' a South Western Railway omnibuses . On tie evening of the 1 st instant deceased undertook in Graeechurch-street—whither the vehicle w » s driven , and left as usual by the coachman—to drive it to the stables in Lad Line , He had to drive a passenger as far as the Bank , and on setting him down there and slamming the door—a sign for starting which the iorses understood—they trotted on , no one being at their heads , towards Moorgate-street . Deceased ran after them , and overtaking them at the corner of the above street , he attempted to stop them by seizing the reins , and , in the effort , was thrown down Wore the aaim % lt , and they and the omnibus passed over him .

      Shocking Railway Accident . —The directors of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway posted placarrJ » , announcing that thi-y would on Monday , the 9 xh instant , take parties from Manchester to Alderleyedge and back for nineptnee each ; the consequence of which was that many hundreds availed themselves of this opportunity to view this delightful part of Cheshire . We are sorry to state that the day's pleasure was marred by » fatal accident under the following melancholy circumstances . The train that arrived at the Alderley station about noon conveyed a large number of passengers , who took a long time in leaving the

      train ; and as one poor woman from Newton Heath , " named Bailey , with a little boy her son , abeut six years old , were leaving the carriage , the train moved , and the woman fell with her head on the rails and plucked the boy right under the train . When taken op the unfortunate woman presented s most shocking spectacle , her head was nearly severed fr&ni the trunk ; her fsrehead was crumbed quite fiat ; it is needless to say that ahe never stvrrtd afterwards . The little boy bad a miraculous escape , he being thrown betwixt the- rails , the train passed over him without doing him any injury . This accident completely damped the joys of the excursion .

      FaTal Mail Coach Accident . —On Monday evening Mr . W . Pajne held an inquest at St . Bartholomew's Hospital , London , on the body of Henry Wilkinson , aged 37 , a scavenger . On Monday , the S 6 tb ultimo , about eight in the evening , deceased was crossing from the Old-street Road into the Kiugsknd Road , nekt Shor ^ ditch Church , just as the Lynn mail was turning the corner in the same direction , and before deceased could get out of the way the near leader knocked him down , and the fore wheel of the coach passed over both his legs . He was promptly conveyed to that hospital , with a severe lacerated wound in the right leg . Two days after , lock-jaw set in , of which deceased died on Saturday evening last . The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death . "

      Attempted Mtbdeb . —On Sunday morning the inhabitants of York-street , London-road , Soutbwark , were thrown ii-to a state of the greatest excitement and alarm , which lasted througheut the whole day , in consequence of a most inhuman and muiderone attack which was made upon an aged man named Richard BarVer , residing at Na . S , Lewis ' s-rents , situate in the centre of the above street , adjoining SL G * orge '» Market . It appears that the mas Barber , with hi * wife and son have been leading a very dissipated life foi some time pist , especially the son , who is about seventeen years of age , and bears a very bad character in the neighbourhood . Shortly before tlevtn o'clock yesterday morning , whilst they were taking breakfast , a

      quarrel took place respecting » book called the " Newgate Calendar , " which the son ( Thomas Barber ) was in the h&bit of [ reading . The father said he ( the son ) should not read such works , and attempted ( to take the book from him ; a sceffls took place , during which the mother seized a knife and the son a poker , with which the £ on inflicted a dreadful wound on the base of his father ' s skull , at the same time the mother , who took the son's part , made-an effort to stab the old man in the left side , but was fortunately prevented b > tbe timely arrival of police-constable No . 9 M , who was passing tire end of tbe court at the moment . The man Barber , who Temaic * under tbe care of Mr . Geiiatly , is in a very precarios ,

      ate-Thcsdbb Stobms . —Loss of Six Lives—StockroBx , SatcbdaT Eve ; nij ; g . —About two o'clock on Friday , a storm set in , accompanied by heavy rain , hail , thunder , and lightning . Tfie duration of tbe storm varied in different place * according to tbfeir position , the minimum of time sot being less than an hour in any . But the principal damage oecurred at the village of Hazelgrove , about twomilea from Stoekport . on the Manchester and Buxton turnpike-road ; at this ^ laoe it com-Tnenced about two o'clock , and continued with unabated fury until about haif-past six . The brooks which abound in that neighbourhood , and take their rise in the adjacent hills , became very much swollen . Oae of them running through tbe township of Torkington communicates at the southerly end of Hssalitrove with

      a reservoir coveriag one and a quarter acre of land . At the northerly end of the reservoir , and abont ten feet from it , is a brick-wall thirty-five yards long , and about ten feet high , skirting the road from Hszslgrove to -Marple and Torkington . The stream from tbe reservoir crosses tbe road under an arch , and runs on to another village called Fogg Brook . Abont six o'clock on the evening ia question the body of water in the reservoir became immensely augmented . The sluice was shut at tbe time , and the swallow proved an insufficient outlet for the increasing volume : the consequence was , that tbe water overflowed and was forced against tbe wall , Sowing out in immense streams from the end of it . Lower down the brook is a large cotton mill , occupied by Mr . Cooper ,

      apposite which there is a bridge , over which the hands , most of whom reaide in Hsz ^ lgrove , were ia the habit of going as their nearest way home . Tbe mill , however , became flooded in the basement ttory , abeut five o ' clock in the afternoon ; the engine fires were put out by the water , and the mill was of course stopped . The bridge near the mill was also blown up by tbe force of tha current , and the hands were obliged to cross the TBelda and get into a nig&er road , by which they would have to pass by tbe reservoir . About tbe time that several of them were passing by tbe wall it was observed tfeat the water was flowiDg over the top , and a man who stood sear , apprehending danger , called out to a number of young women that they had better remain a rhort time , and not attempt to pass it . A

      number of them , however , persevered , and crept under the wall foT shelter , when at the moment the force of the water carried the wall from its foundation for the length of abont thirty yarda , sweeping a great number of the unfortunate people away with the current Many of them were baried under the ruins of the wall . Thirteen were very severely injured , and six are dead . Tbe village , of course , was thrown into the utmost consternation and excitement , and every assistance , medical and otherwise , which could be procured , was given as Boon as practicable . The names of the parties dead are as follow : —Jane Cheetham , aged 14 years , daughter of William Chertham of Stockport , Little-moor , brick-maker ; her skull was fractured aad her right thigh broken . Mary Cope , aged 10 years ,

      daughter of John C-pe , epinner . Ann Jackson , aged 19 years , daughter of John Jackson , brick-maker . Decea * ed was tenter of dyers' frames in the card-room . Jane Gosling , aged 12 years , daughter of Robert Gosling , ostler . Deceased was a piecer ; her skull and thigh fractnred . Jane Hibbert , aged 14 years , daughter of Booth Hibbert , silk weaver . Deceased was a tenter of throJ ; les ; she was bruised abont her head and qtber parts of her body . H * r body was washed dawn the stream , and was found two fields off from the place of tbe accident . John Morris , aged 15 years , son of Mr . Thomas Morris , shoe-maker Deceased was most shockingly ir jured about the head and arm . An inqotst was held on the bodies of tbe sviffsrers at tbe Bull ' s Ht-ad Inn , Btiilgrove , on Saturday afternoon , when evidence corroborative of the above detail

      was adduced . Afcer it bad been gone tbrongb , the Coroner ( Charles Hudson , E « q ) , briefly cbirged the Jary , who immediately returned a verdict of " Accidental death ' in all the cases . —At Dan Bank , on the Stociport and Marple road , a bridge -was -washed down , as a horse and c ^ rt were passing over It , and tfee horse was drowned—At Worth Clongb , the Macclca-£ VId canal overflowed its banks , filling some of tbe coalpits , patting out the engine fires , and setting a number of carta and horses afloat—At Hope Green , on the Macclesfield road , a wall running parallel with a brook which shirts the road was tt one point forced down by the wattr . The Express Pottery coach was near being npset by tbe man of wattr . All the caacbes on that line of road were delayed many hours beyond their usual time , in consequence of the effects of the flood .

      Wischesteb .. —A very eevare thunder storm passed OYer this city on Thursday , which lasted some time , tbe thunder claps being loud and frequeiit , and tne lightning vivid . The rain , too , fell in large quantities , producing much benefit to ve / jeUlion , which was suffering severely from the late drought and easterly winds . The harvest , with some exceptions hardly worth taking into account , is now finished , and the storm of Thurwiay was therefore the more welcome . — Hampshire Indtpthtlml . . CasT £ k » cst , Sept . 9— Last night ( Sunday ) a thunder atone , tbe violence of which has not been

      exceeded for many years , paased over the eastern part of the county of Kent . So early as seven o ' clock in the evening tbe murmuring of the- distant thunder was heard in the direction of the coast by Rsmsgate , and in the course of another half hour the flishes of the lightning became more frt-quent . From the higher port-ions of the city of Canterbury the scene arising was awfully cr&nd . Several of the inhabitants declare the storm to bar a been the most violent known in the vicinity tor tbe last twenty years . It was not quite over before midnight , and at the above hour this morning the rain still fell heavily , with 6 very prospect of a coDtiDuaBce .

      PETEkSPiELD and its neighbourhood were visited on Thursday last by one sf the most violent storms of thunder , lutbuiing , and hail , that has bebn witnessed in ttjkt vieinity for S-. me years ; it was remarked that in odc p * rs of tLe storm , for tbe space of twenty minutes the thunder was incessant ; the rain and hail poured down at inrervala in torrents ; and in the neighbourhood ofsbtetand Liss , tbe hail stones kensured from three to five inches in circumference , and tuch was the quantity Tvb-ch fell , that although tbe ten ; peratnre was high and i&c air sultry , whole cart Joads were lying on the ground f ? tn on the following morning . The roofs ef the gietn housta were literally smashed , scarcely a frame

ON Thubsday last , this town and neighbourhood were visited by a . most tremendous thunder atorm , which lasted for nearly three bonrs without intermission , with heavy showers of haU . At Totton , Redbridge , and Millbrook the hail came down in such torrents that it broke a great number of skylights and windows ; in some pacts the roads were entirely inundated . We have not beard of any damage done by tbe lightning , but we fear there is a great deal done in many places . In the evening it lightened bo fast , that some of the oldest inhabitants of the town cannot recollect seeing anything like it before . —Hampshire Telegraph .

      On Thursday evening , a heavy storm of rain , accompanied by lightning and awful thunder , passed over this city , and very heavy rain fell in the course of the night . We understand that at the Mynde Park , Much Dewchurch , hailstones of such large dimensions fell , that upwards of 300 panes of glass were shattered in tbe hot-houses , && Considerable damage has also been done in other parts of the ceunty . — Hereford Times .

      Fatal Accident in the New-cot , Lambeth . — On Wednesday afternoon , a poor man , named John-Eon , and his son , a lad about eight years old , were proceeding towards the Borough with a cart-load of sand . On the arrival of the horse and its load at a publio house on their way , the father stopped to have a pint of beer , of which his son partook , They proceeded on their road , when tbe lad , in attempting to mount the shafts of the cart , missed his step , aad fell to the ground , and before the father could stop his horse the wkeel passed over his ohild ' B left breast and side of tho kead . Assistance was rendered , and a medical gentleman instantly attended , but life was extinct .

      Collision in the Irish Channel , an > lamentable Loss of LrPB . —LiysarooL , Tuesday . —We deeply regret to state that this morning , shortly after two o ' clock , the Dublin mail iron steam-ship , Iron Duke ( 600 tons burden ) came into collision with tho brig Parana ( 200 tons ) , outward bound from this port for Montreal , about three leagues to the eastward of Point Lynas Light , by which the latter vessel was nearly cut in two , and bo sudden was the accident , that six of hor crew , including her commander ( out of eleven in board in all ) , were thrown into the water , and perished . The brig , it appears , had a light on her poop , and her mate also elevated the binnacle-light is his band , and shouted towards the steamer when he saw her cwning rapidly iato dasgerous proximity ; but , as be conjectures , he was not heard , owing , probably , to the noise of the

      engines , and the steamer , before the brig could effectually alter her course , ran into her abreast of the fore-hatch . The aight was thick , or what seamen term " dirty , " and it were improper to attribute blame to either party . The-names of those saved from the brig were—William Hiebell , mate ( badly hurt ); William Cover and John Martin , seamea ; John Craig , cook and steward . Another man , whose B&me we could not learn , was also saved . Those drowned were—WilBon , the captain ; Alexander Stewart , second mate ; George CoateB , seaman ; also the carpenter and an ordinary seaman . The captain was , it is stated , a married man , and has left his wife and five children in this town to deplore his loss . A subscription was immediately entered into on board the steamer , on behalf of the survivors , and we learn soon amounted to £ 40 .

      Belief of Unmerited St / FFERiNe . —A few daye ago we referred to a case of a most distressing nature , relative to two sisters named Johnston , residing at No . 27 , Charlotte-B'reet-west , White Conduit-fields , who were described to be in a state of starvation , which caused the death of one of them . The unfortunate sisters , it may be recollected after enduring the most severe privations , commenced a small school , bat failed and being orphans , having no frends , they lived for days together on a penny loaf and cold , water , and ohose rather to conoeal their want than to apply to or go into a workhouse . They became indebted at their lodgings , and applications having been repeatedly made for the rent , the deceased sister imagined that every noise was a fresh application , or to warm them to quit their apartment . Tbe struggle between the sisters attracted the landlady

      who entered their room and discovered their destitute condition , which , on being made known , exoited the utmost sympathy towards the surviving Bister , an accomplished young lady , who it appeared had been cheated out of considerable property . The case having obtained publicity in The Times , the Rev . Mr . Kemp , of St . George ' s Hanover-square , and several other humane persons , have visited the young lady , and afforded her temporary relief and nourishment . On visiting her yesterday it was ascertained that many distinguished pers > na # es had been induced to to Visit her , or forward donations for her relief . Amongst them were Viseountess Maynard , Lord Teignmontb , tbe Hon . Mrs . Cochrane , Lady Montefiore , Lad ; Dillon , Lady Tillot , Mrs . Egerton , Mr . Milnes , &c , and her present situation is rendered comparatively comfortable , though the poor creatnr ° is i > till in a delicate state of health .

      f Concluded from cur Eighth page . ) Heaven , his ahtewd Scotch head remains to snide it ; and bis recitnt conduct doea honour to both by the manliness with which he trampled under foot the attempt at argument which was made by the opposing party—( cheers ) . We owe a debt of gratitude to the Whigs for ouch appointments , and it will be hard to g * t me to abuse them again—( laughter ) . We owe them that debt for tbe principle by which they have been actuated in their selection of Judges ; and if tbey bad selected bad Judges they would find me assailing them as readily as 1 now tender them my praise . Lord Denm&n had been labouring for many years aa a banister in tbe Queen ' s Bench , and if the Tories had continued in power he never 'would have been

      a Judge i to the present honr— ( hear , hear ) . Lord Cuttenham would never have been a judge , and Lord Campbell would never have been elevated to the bench . It is owing to tbe exclusion of the Tories fet a time from power tbnt wo have acquired the glory , the honour , and I will add . tbe security of the administration of justice , arising from having such distinguished personages on the bench . I have but one remark more to make , and that rotates to an excellent friend of mine , who . I think , bas been spoken of a little too hard . I allude to my beloved friend , Richard Sheil—( hear ) . I confess I wes angry at bis asking a rt quest for me froai Peel that looked like requiring a favour , and be ought to have known me better than to think I could possibly receive any .

      thing having the appearance of a boon from such hands . No , I would rather have rotted in the gaol than owe my liberation to tbe pretended clemency of Peel—( load cheers ) . From this spot I told you before entering the prison , that there should be no compromise nor shrinking , add there has been none —( renewed cheering ; . The entire of us would perish in gaol rather than receive , !** a favour tbe slightest concession from the present Ministers —( cheers ) . My friend , Richard Sheil waj wrong in that ; but he is one of those men who can afford to be once wrong in their lives . His oountry owes him a deep debt of gratitude . He ornamented and made interesting by bis eloquence tbe struggle , for emancipation . When I waB going on with my dull speeches , wearying the public mind

      with my tiresome repetitions , Richard Sheil burst upon tbe public view With the brilliancy of some sudden and refulgent star , by the oorrusc ^ tions of his genius , and the majestic ebullitions of his powerful mind . And in the very speech for which he ia blamed , Mr . Sheil elicited from Sir Robert Poel a statement which must damn him in the mind of every honest man , namely , the assertion that we had had a fair trial . That assertion is , as I shall show you presently , worth much , and from this spot I thank Mr . Sheil for having drawn it forth—( hear ) . Let us next see how we are to conduct ourstlves on this occasion . It is of the utruoet importance that we should act discreetly—it is absolutely necessary that we should act firmly . We ought to act in the full spirit of conciliation—( bear , hear ) . We

      ought to endeavour to succeed in augmenting our numbers by every becoming means . We ought to struggle with renewed energy for the Repeal cause by such means , and that struggle should either end . in our graves or in having an Irish Parliament once more in College Green —( loud cheers ) . But how shall we act in future ? I turn t » iny Protestant fellow countrymen , those among them wbo have not yet had the spirit of manliness evinced by the gentlemen neat me to unite with their Catholic countrymen for their common interests . And I ask them , are they timid or doubtful of our integrity after all that has hitherto been done by us to show them our real feelings . Were we not in the midst of our strength , with more power than any monarch in Europe possesses iu his hands ?—( cheers )

      How did I acquire tbat power ? I acquired It by tbe conviction that rested on the minds of every man , woman , and child who obeyed me , that I would not abuse it . I acquired that power because I coincided in opinion with them , and guarded against the contingency of any crime whatsoever—( bear ) . The Catholic clergy saw these were our principles ; that there was no danger to the laws , either of God or man . being violated by those wbo united with as . Protestants of I reland , what objection can you bave to our principles ? and why not seek to carry them nut ? Have I not to beast ef this , that even on yesterday my revered friend the Most Rev . Dr . Murray , the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin at the head of his clergy , stood before tbe altar offering up his hands together to the G « d of

      all , a grateful recollection and thanksgiving for the triumphant assertion of the mercy tbat tbe Almighty had vouchsafed towards as . If we bad acted disloyally , Immorally , or illegally , is not Dr . Murray loyal enough to refuse to sanction ear acts ? Is there , confessedly , a more loyal man in tbe nation than ho is ; and is not his entire life a continued instance of bis loyalty and worth ? O , I feel a pleasure beyond expression , that yesterday we had hts testimony in our favour—( bear)—could there be anything more unstatesmanltke than the eenduct of the Government throughout ? They knew their danger , and they crowded troops over here ; bat they doubted that they were even then , sufficient to keep the country , so they boxed the troops up in barracks , and put loop holes in the walls , every one of

      which appeared to possess a tongue telling them that they were notable to keep thecouutry and that they required something to keep themselves . But could anything be more foolish than the expressions that felt from tbe Minister on the occasion ? Think you that they had no effect oh the old diplomatist Louis Philippe ? or tbat if they had not been naed , and it the weakness of England with regard to Ireland were not known in France , that Tangier would not have remained untouched—that Mogador would not still be uninjuredand that tbe plains « f Ouchda would not be untainted with Moorish blood ?—( hear , hear ) . But what could be more peaceable than our conduct throughout ? O ! the people have conducted themselves admirably—( hear , hear ) . Every confidence can now be placed in their

      peaceful determination . We can repose on their good conduc t , and they have most completely shown fitness for self-government—( cheers ) . More particularly have they done so in giving up tbe only vice which prevailed in Ireland . They have thrown themselves into the temperance movement , and tbe blissful result of abstaining from intoxicating liquors is now known to millions—( bear , hear ) . O ! nereis a people , Protestant brethren , fit to govern themselves and worthy of your support and confidence —( cheers ) . I have conclusive evidence that ye are beginning to feel so . Look , here is Mr . Grey Porter ' s pamphlet : the work of a high Protestant gentleman—High Sheriff of a Protestant cou , ty —( cheers ) . What does this book say ? I will give you three sentences : — "The union of 1801 , the 41 st of

      Geo . 3 rd , cap . 47 ( all on one side ) , does , and always will , draw away from Ireland her men of skill , genius , capital , and rank—ail who raiae its strength and distinguish a nation . " " A federal ( the only fair ) unien between Great Britain and Ireland inevitable , and most desirable for both islands "—( cheers ) . These are the prineiples on which this gentleman sets out . The first shows the evils of the Union , tbe second advocates its Repeal —( cheers ) . I admire this pamphlet ; for , though mistaken in some of its facts , it contains tbe genuine principle of nationality—that spirit ; which I wish to pervade the people , and which seeks Ireland for the Irish—( cheers ) . I invite that gentleman to join us , and I tell him that he will get tbat leading place among us which bis talent , rank , and patriotism

      deserve . Nay , more , I undertake to dissolve the Association if he does not approve of our conduct , or can deteot us committing one single act affecting our loyalty or allegiance—( cheers ) . From this place I call upon him to join as . Perhaps be may hear me yet , and though he may think the present time too soon , I think tbe day will come—( loud cheers ) . This , then , is the time for conciliation . By it you may gain such men as Mr . Porter ; and is be not worth conciliating—( cheers ) ? What would 1 not do ts petsuade him ? Weuld I not give a portion of my heart ' s blood to gain him over ? I say , that the man is not honest who does Uflt wish to see Grey Porter [ at the head of thiB national struggle—( cheers ) . As for myself , I do not want to be a leader ; I am willing to work in the team , and

      will cheerfully resign to Grey Porter the reins and guidance of the whole—( loud cheers ) . The question for us now to consider is , —what are we to do ? The principle of conciliation is admitted , but we are not the less ardently to persevere in working fox be Repeal—( loud cheers ) . Ia answering the question more fully three different subjects arise to my mind . The first relates to the meeting at Clontarf— ( cheers for some minutes ) . That meeting was called legally . It was illegally suppressed —( loud cheering ) . We are bound to adhere to principle ; and it is now to be considered whether that rule extends so far , or whether it has been sufficiently vindicated without

      calling the meeting —( cheers ) . For some time I did think it was absolutely necessary to call it to vindicate a great principle ; but en rtfkcting deeply on what has occurred in the House of Lords , and tho vindication of its legality put on eternal record by Dentnan— ( cheers )—Cottenbam —( cheers)—and Campbell—( cheers)—I began to doubt that it was necessary . It might create ill-feeling , and be construed into a wish to insult , and it might alienate friends . What I mean to do is , ujpon this day weefe to propose that it be referred to a select committee whether or not it is necessary to hold the Ciontarf meeting —( cheers ) . I do not wish to prejudice their decision ; but I must say , that my opinion is against the calling of that

      meeting . The next point I wish to lay before you iB with reference to a plan which I frequently proposed last year . I mean the collection of the Preservative Society for Ireland , consisting of a body of three hundred gentlemen Bitting ini Dublin—( great applause ) . This point is surrounded by legal difficulties , and must be approached with serious considerations , which we were last year prevented from applying to it by the proclamation and subsequent proceedings . My plan , which I have deeply considered , is shortly thia , —that three hundred gentlemen from the various counties in Ireland should ] meet on a certain day in Dublin—( cheers )—and that their title to meet should be the handing in of £ 100 each—that they should have a treasurer of their own , and have the working of their own funds—( cheers ) . I do not intend that

      they shall initiate anything , but that they shall control everything , and tbat the Repeal Association shall be completely governed by them , and HOt venture on any act without ; t&eir previous sanction—( cheers ) . A bod / of this kind would comprise so many of the wealthy ami influential of Ireland , that it would be an effectual check to any rash revolutionary outbreak , and would be a steady drug upon the wheel of- the movement . It would be of that bearing on society and high station thit it could enter into treaty with Government—( Iuud cheers ) , it could arrange its own plans with Ministers , and stipulate terms—( great ; cheering ) . No hand-overhead work , but steady , deliberate agreement—( oheersi . And here let me say that ; quite agree in MAKING THE EXPERIMENT OP A FEDERAL PaKLIAMEM I WANT ANY PARLIAMENT WHICH "WILL

      protect Ireland , and ask fob no more . If we arrive at the period of Repeal without some body of this description , Government may dictate a plan to you , perhaps , which may fall short of justice , though it satisfy some of you . They loan never do so with this Preservative Society of 300 —( cheers ) . The terms of any treaty must be wel ) considered—financial as well as political ; and it seems to me tbat we shall here have the workman to build up the palace of justice to Ireland —loud cheers ) . I will this day week move for a select committee to consider the possibility of such an assemblage , and to prepare cases to have laid before the most eminent lawyers of England and Ireland— ( cheers ) . And now I come to my third plan , and it is one to which I am greatly attached . I want to procure

      impeachments of tbe judges of the Court of Queen Bench and of Her Majesty ' s Attorney-General in this country —( loud applause ) . The first ground is that of tbe monster indictment which was preferred against me— 30 yards ef an indictment —( much laughter ) . Lord Danman has well described it as a document calculated to prevent a man from defending himself . Such an indictment no poor man could ; escape from . We were backed by tbe Repeal rent —( cheers );—but if such an indictment were preferred against a poor man , where could he get a brief of it-for his counsel ? Why it would coBt him ten times more money than ever he saw to do so —( cheers ) . No man is safe from such a monster indictment What ought the Court to have done with it ? I say an honest Court should have

      quashed it again and again , if necessary , and have said to the Attorney-General in the words of Lord Danman . " Pick out your counts , and do not suffocate them beneath tbe number of your accusations "—( cheers ) . I assert this , and I shall be able to prove it by competent witnesses , that the Lord Chief Justice—( groans ) —had the air of a counsel for the prosecution throughout tbe trials , and might have been taken for such but for the placet be occupied . It may be said I am rash in taking this up . Ah I I do not fear their prisons—( tremendous cheering ) . I am a freeborn British subject , standing in this place defending my rights , and I do accuse those men of injustice —( renewed applause ) . I

      am hf re to call upon tbe people of England to aid me in impeaching those men —{ cheering ) . I ask you all , did it ever occur at any trial before this that the Chiaf Justice borrowed the Attorney-General's brief to make out his case and charge ] from ?—( cries of "No , " and groans ) . You saw him do so—( loud cries of " We did , " and groaning ) . Now , I do say tbat this is a fact which must and shall be beard—( loud cheers ) . I care not—not I—for the authority of the Lord Chief Justice —( loud cheers ) . I call up tbe English people to join with me and Ireland , and drag him before a proper tribunal and atcertain whether such conduct as this is

      to eo tolerated —( loud cheers ) . I will not go into all the wearisome details of the packing of tbe jury , for it is now universally admitted that it was fraudulently packed . I shall be able to prove , I tell you , that not only were proper names omitted , but names which ought to have been omitted left on —( cheers ) . That will be one of my facts —( cheers ) . Bat , here , I have something for yon . I know a man who was offered to have bis fortune made if he would give some particular information —( sensation ) . The information did not exist , and therefore he jcould not give it : but , I ahall be able to prove that tbe expression , " Tour fortune shall be made , " was used on tbe occasion in question , m&d thiit by & witness of the fiiBt credit asd respectability —( cheers ) . Again , I say that if that

      jury bad been left to itself , it never could have returned Bach a Terdict I say it emphatically that some one helped them in making up this verdict—( cheers and groans ) . From ! this spot I call on E . igland to join me . I mean to propose tbat a select committee be formed , of j which I shall cheerfully make one , to go through all the principal towns of England about two month * before the meeting of Parliament , to obtain an answer to this appeal We will say , " Here is injustice done . A p&efeed jnry , an unjust judgment , sentence inflicted before its right is ascertained , and innocent men imprisoned . Englishmen , I will test you ; I will see whether you will join me , oue and all . " If not , I wi ll come back , and say to my countrymen , " Look no more to the

      pretences of John Bull ; look ( alone te your Parliament in C « llege-greeu ''—( cheers ) . ! If they did aot approve of this , I will go at any rate . Curiosity to see the lion whehad been caged for three months would bring many together , and collect crowds around me ; and I look forward to suoesss . But here I ask you , are the Ministers to escape ?—( groans and yells ) . Is Sir J . Graham to escape ?—( loud cries of " No , no , " and groaning and hissing ) . He who had the unparalleled impudence in the absence of two members ' of tbe House to call them convicted conspirators —( a voice / " he ' s a liar . " Cheering ) . Why , you seem to be as uncivil as Sir James himself—( laughter ) . I do not call him that , but I do term him a foul-mouthed letter-breaker —( shouts of applause and laughter ) . I come to what Shiel did in tht >

      House . He produced Sir R . | Peel's declaration before his face . He hod that paper before his eyes , and yet he had the power of face , the audacity , the Intensity of falsehood to say , according to newspaper reports , tbat he bad 5 fair trial —( several voices— "he ' s a liar" ) . To be sure ho is —( great cheering , and load laughter ) . There ' s a British Minister for ] you—the Premier of the first oountry in the world —( groans and laughter ) . With & packed jury , a one-sided Chief-Justice , the exclusion of jurors and evidence of justice , he ventured te say we had a fair trial . O , a very fair trial , sweet Sir Robert !—( groans ) . Ah , my good man , you were wrong te call him a liar . He thinks what we got was a very fair trial for Irish Catholics —( cheering and groans ) . That foul falseheod , however , identified him with the

      whole of tbe proceedings here , and tbe Union is but a mockery indeed , if the English people do not join us in burling Peel froin office ; and driving him from power as Ministerial leader ! in Parliament —( cheers ) . I have done . I want to consider the affair of the Clontarf meeting —( cries of " have it ) . " I want to conaider ths assembling of the Preservative Society . I see , I know I can rely upon the people —( cheers ) There will be no riot ; , no revolt , bo tumult , no violence . They would not be the shrewd people that they are , if they did not perceive the advautagea they feave alreidy derived from the same course at the time of tbe Emancipation and other agitations' - ( cheers ) . I tell you Repeal is i rresistible , it you continue peaceable—( cheers ) .

      O , how my heart throbs with delight when I see the O'Briens , the Butlers , the Hutchlnsons , the Mocklers , the Porters , rallying round jold Ireland—( great cheering ) . What a day will we have round King William in College Green—( great laughter ) . What a triumph we bad on Friday , when the news of tardy justice , done at last was spread through the country . O , it is a proud feeling , a noble hope , an endearing anticipation for us to look forward to the day when we shall have old Ireland free am ) a nation again—( tremendous cheering ); to have her commerce spring to life , her agriculture crowned with riches , to make her merry maids and brave men more merry and ( cheerful and happy . Old Ireland for ever—hurrah for the Repeal I

      The Right Hon . Gentleman resumed bis scat amid applasse nearly as protracted and quite as enthusiastic as tbat which greeted his opening address . Several Bums of money having been handed in by Mr . O'Connell and Mr D . O'Connell , jun ., Mr . J . O'Connell came forward , and after handing in some subscriptions , proceeded to address the Association amidst great applause . He stated that he regarded the glorious triumph that they had just achieved as bnt the harbinger of tbe still more glorious triumph of Repeal . After referring to tbe decision in the House of Lords , and promising to redouble his efforts with renewed energy in the cause of Ireland ia future , the Hon . and Learned Gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud applause . 1

      Mr . T . Steeib , who wa 3 j loudly cheered , said that he had never enjoyed such a high honour as on tbe present occasion , aad that the greatest glory of his existence was being included in the martyrs f « r Ireland . Tbe people bad beard his last words at their parting , and by no act of theirs bald violated the awful tranquilly of the country—tb ' at tranquility which had struck horror in tho hearts ) of their enemies —( cheers ) . Mr . BARRETt ( rising in obedience to call from varieus parts of the meeting ) said , that though he was not a member of the Association , he would not refuse the expression of his sentiments j which the courtesy of bis fellow-countrymen had called for . He was delighted that he had had aa opportunity of sharing the martyrdom of the father of tbe count'y

      Dr . Gkay then came forward amid loud applause , and having tendered an apology for addressing the meeting similar to that given t < y the last speaker , proceeded to say that there ; waa a differenco between Botne of the conspirators . His f : ieud Mr . S eelo bad said that he had had no redress . Was not that meeting redress ? Was not that Lour redress enough— ( tremendous applause ) . j Mr . O'Cownell came forward in answer to load cries for Mr . Dufty , and assured the meeting that tbat gentleman had been Obliged to retire from illness . The Hon . Gantleman proceeded to hand in numerous contributions to the Repeal rent

      Mr . 8- O'Brien gave notice that he wbeld move oa the next day of meeting that Messrs . Hutchinson and Butler should be added to the general Parliamentary committee . Mr . O'Connell formally * entered his notice of motion for a committee to inquire into the expediency of holding the Clontatf meeting , and to inquire into the materials requisite for tbe impeachment of the parties he had named connected with the recent state trials . Mr * O'Connell anneanced the rent for the week to he £ 575 «« « 1—( loud cheers ) . The usual vote ef thanks having been passed to the Chairman , the meeting then adjourned .

      THE PBOVINCSS , The different mails aad ooacaes , of coarse , carried the news to all parts of the country . It -spread like wildfire among the people , and , although at first doubted , it was received with the most lively demonstrations of joy , such perhaps as no p ople but the Irish or the French would exhibit . In every direction manifestations of triumph were made by tho peopJe , ia the country by the peasants , and in the towns by the shopkeepers * and such of the respectable classes as are supporters of O'ConneJl . In the south and 6 Oath-west , mere particularly , these demonstrations were made , and the county of Cork , of which Mr . O'Connell is the representative , was not Ighiud the rest . It affards a sample of tbe effect of the news generally where the Bupporters of Mr . O'Connell &r ? numfirou . i .

      The news arrived in Cork aboat noon . It soon spread through the city , and drew vast crowds to the front of the Exohange Boom and the newspaperoffices . Some of the streets were so densely crammed with people that it was not possible to pass along . The whole place was alive with excitement , and , before the new& had been half an hour in town , processions of people were formed , parading the streets with green boughs and nmsic . Many houses were decorated with boughs , and , as if by magic , all f ha poorer class of the population contrived to supply themselves with boughs , even to the little children . The utmost good humour prevailed .

      , Along the mail-coach road to Dublin there were similar demonstrations . Every little cabin had ita decoration of green , and its knot of inhabitants shouting for O'Connell . Tbo villages and towns were crowded with people , all attracted from the country rouijd , as the news spread far and wide . . At night the whole eonnfcry was illumir ; a ted . Thfl lighting of bonfires on the bills is n customary mode of expressing satisfaction or conveying intelligence with tbe Irish people . On this ocoasios they indulged themselves to tho utmost . The whole horizon seemed on fire whichever way you looked . These fires were kept up during the greater part of tbe

      Bight . The villages on the different roads in the south were all-filled with crowds of people , wbo bad lit bonfires , sometimes on the highway itself , to the imminent danger of passengers . The towns , and even tbe larger villages , were illuminated . Ferraoy was one blazs of light , as was indeed every town or considerable village in the southern district' ) . At Thurles there was an enormous collection of people , and a " monster" bonfire ; at Casbel the same ; and so on throughout tbe principal routes to tbe metro * polis . At a place called Cahir , about eight miles from Cashel , a serious accident occurred , owing to the negligence of the persons engaged in the illumination : four houses were burnt to the ground ; happily , however , no lives were lost .

      THE AGITATION . ( From the Correspondent of the Times . ) Dublin , Sept . 9 . The excitement consequent upon the startling events of the last few days has subsided from the fever point to which it had reached , and people have just got breathing time to consider the probable position of the revived agitation , Stimulated , as it no doubt will be , by the increased popularity of Mr . O'Connell , and by a stronger reliance than ever oa bis boasted infallibility as a lawyer . His victory has been indeed complete ; and it' there be not , as is auspeoted , an uuder-current at work , having for its object a new bolstering up of the Ltcbfield-house compact , it would be diffioult to

      foresee , what dangerous importance the agitation might not assume either from that mistaken lenity of a Government which seeks to conciliate open foes at the ezpence of tried friends , or from clumsy aad dilatory attempts at coercion , such as those which terminated the Repeal campaign for 1843 . At that time all parties , Repealers and Conservatives , felt well assured tbat it required bat a farther slight stretch of vigour on the part of the Executive to give the finishing blow to the agitation , reeling as it then was , from the effeots of the Clontarf proclamation ; and that bad a similar demonstration of force been put iato operation against the sittings of the Repeal Association * there never would have been the least necessity for the prosecution of its leaders . The tone of Mr . O'Connell ' s speech yesterday .

      From which so mueQ was expected , is not regarded , as altogether satisfactory by the more ardent , and far more honest v section of the Repealers . His opea asd unblushing adulation of hiB friends the Whigs fell heavily on the ears of the " Young Ireland " party , while his declaration of the impolicy of holding tbe Clontarf meeting , and his ill-concealed dread of summoning the 300 delegates , added to the disagreeable feeling of uneasiness created by the general tenour of the speech . It was observed that there was but one subject touched upon which seemed to give satisfaction to some moody spirits who hovered near the leader . It was where he spoke in reference to the impeachment of the Judges and the Attorney-General—the announcement of which extorted a cheer , tbe only one during the day , from the discontented section alluded to .

      GB . EAT PUBLIC BANQUET . A public dinner , on a splendid scale , ia to be given tfl Mr . O'Connell and his fellow martyrs , on & convenient ( tay within the present me&th , to commemorate the memorable-event of the reversal of the judgment and their release from prison . Arrangements are to be mode to enable all parts of the country to participate in thia n&tio&al festival .

      POPULAR REJOICINGS IK THE COUNTRY . From all quarters—even the most remote parts of the country—accounts are received of the public rejoicings , caused by the reversal of the judgment against Mr . O'Connoll .
