The " famine" in the land has increased the spirit flitigation , law processes of every descri ption are the order of the day . But this may perhaps atise from the necessity of the case ; people don't pay their debts-perhaps cannot—and then the law is resorted to . For the last Quarter Sessions of Kilkenny , the enormous number of 8 , 800 civil bills were served : 2 . 800 were entered for trial . ' Uw made O RiMWALs—Housebreaking and sheepstealing have now become most ordinary offences . Cases beyond counting are dail y supplied to ua . ? i . *?™ - —> great foray was made this week by the discharged of the public works on the bread shops « t i"u « hal . The onslaught wastremcndott « , « widthft enemy had to be dispersed b y a strong body of military aud uohce . Irriantr . "

      The Last Rksoubce -The following is a fair instance wttue startling change which famine and its consequent destitution have wrought in the moralsof the people . A man named M'Carthy , from Inno-Hhaunon . was arrested with four others by Conatable 0 Neill , for breaking windows in the North Mainstreet , lie was brought up at the police office and discharged . On leaving the office , he turned to ONeilland said " They won ' t put me in gaol for this , but they shall for something else . " Subsequently the constable saw him stealing apiece of Bannelfroin MissBeales shop , in the South Main-street , and again arrested him . He was a second time brought before the benoh next morning ; but Miss Beale declined to prosecute , and h wasdisohargedonce more . On leaving the office he met O'Neill , to wnom he said— ' So they won ' t put me in gaol for breaking elas 8 or stealing flannel ; I'll do something now that 111 force them to put me in . 1 have not eaten a bit since you took me on Tuesday , and I will not starve to death . "

      Emioration . —The quays of Dublin are literally irapassiblefrom the number of persona departing , either direct for America or to Liverpool , from whence they proceed to the new world . The same scene presents itself at every port in Ireland ; in almost every instance the parties leaving our shores appear to be of a comparatively wealthy class . They are all com . fortably clad , and seem to have considerable quantities of baggage . The Harmony sailed on Thursday from Watertord for New York , with passengers .- On Tuesday the William Penn steamer was literally crowded

      and crammed with people , going to Liverpool to emigrate . A thousand people , we way compute , went in these two vessels . They were of the respectable class . Their lamentations were indeed afflicting to hear as they left all they held dear en earth . On Wednesday 130 individuals left the villaueand immediate vicinity of Catucomer ( county Kilkenny ) , on their way for the Far West . The above paragraphs tell their own tale—misgovernment has made the litigant , the criminal , the pauper atid the emigrant .

      CORK . Another government inspecting officer , Captain Drury , R N ., has died at Kinsale , from the contagion now ra-init in every district of this county and city . The accniint 8 we receive from the West Biding describe increased mortality and spread ot disease among the people . A private note from DunraaHway says : " When coming from tlie workhouse , at balf-paat six o ' clock this evening ( Wednesday ) . 1 saw a man dying alo » RMd « a ditch , and by directions of some of the guardians he was taken into the workhouse . Another was similarly circumstanced a short distance from him . " As an example of the wholesale rapidity with which the hand of death is cutting down the population , we may give the following fact : —Oa Tuesday three childien of Morty Kellcher , a poor man residing in PhariseeValley , off Barrack-street , died of fever within an hour ot each other . Kelleher and his wife , the remnants of this wretched family , are both ill of tbe same disease , from which they are not expected

Fever and dysentery are making rapid and fatal strides amongst tin- people . In tb «< workhouse there are upwards of 700 persons sick , 300 of whom are afflicted with fever . In tlie rural districts , too , fever is committing serious ravages ; and although it has hitherto been rather partial in its attacks in the town , it is now commencing a more general and a more dangerous outbreak .

      THE PEOl'LE'S UUAttiER . IMPORTANT DISOUSSIOU BETWEEN ARCHER GURNEY AND ERNEST JONES , £ i 4 U . i BARRISTERS AT-LAV 7 . The South London Chunist Hall , Bl-ckfriare-road , was crowded by a most enthusiastic audience , on Monday evening ; . April 12 th , to hear the dincassion on the aboce subject . Messrs barney and Jones were received with loud cheers as the ; psased up ( he capaciouk Hall , which wa « renewed on their ascending the platform at eight o ' clock . Mr Brown , ol Walworth , was called to the chair , and briefly introduced the subject of ih dl cm ., slon . It was then arranged that each spenkcr should occupy twenty minutes , that Mr Qurne . v should commence and Mr Jones conclude . Mr . QoBNEirose , loudly applauded , and said : Sir and gentlemen , about a fortnight ajco I attended at this Hall to hear a lecture on Cliartiim from my eloquent friend , Mr Erneat Jones ; With the principles he advanced I dis . the people ' s uiiAttiER .

      agreed—and rising , with the chairman's permission , to oppose Bis vlewa , after a short discussion , sevrrnl gentle , men rone in the body of the mseiing und proposed my meeting Mr Jones on a night set apart tor that purpose . I acceded to the request , nnd am here to meet my oppo > nent . I contend that democracy would be injurious to tho best interetts of the people—and that liberty and prosperity can only be maintained by a division of power into classes . All men are liable to be deceived , and nations are as liable to deceive themselves as individuals . Now , it might happen , that sumo very injurious idea got possession of the publio mind—and , were tin- people all . powerful , it would be made law at once . But , where there l « a division of power , as here , all legislation ig delayed—no measures are rashly hurried , and time is gained to deliberate . —Oar present system is

      perfectmonarchy alone would be bad ; aristocracy alone would be bad ; both together be p each other in check , and preserve the balance of power . A . n Instance ot this is furnished by Fox ' s Indian Bill , The Commons pussed it—the people supported that injurious meature—tbe lords pnt in their veto , ana saved the country . Thus we have a wholesome system of checks and counterchecks . Thus you have three courts of appeal—and , should all these fail , you have public opinion—you have your influ nee—which is ns much as the vote . You become tbe last court of appeal , and what more do you wantt You ought to be represented ; as you are . The vote alcna ig not everything ! You aie represented by the voice of public opinion ; by petitions , speeches , public meetings , and the press . Thus you are virtually represented ; while the admirable system of check

      andcoui'terchock snro 8 you from rash , despotio legislation . Under thfe Charter the majority of the movement would always rule . Under the Charter , It Is impossible a wholesome aystemofcoutttetcheckscould exUi . ( Ctteets ) Crown and Lords must be swept away—( immense cheering ) since , being but few is number , they would not have suffiuient physical force to resist you . ( ClieerS ) Those cheers confirm my opinion . Chartism ig socialism—( no ! not )—why ! you lay it is equality ! Wry man to have an equal amount of land and wealth—( no ! no !) what is that bat socialism ? I say it is despotism—it you vest all power in one class . I . iigreo with you . that the people should enjoy a large « H&r £ o { power—b «\ v Mitb they have now . . ( No ! no !) Vtfhj&they can express their opinion strongly on erery frokt . ^ tuey havo influence equal to the vote , and , therefore ^ s ' e ' e no use for Universal Suffrage * ,

      Mr Eunest Jokes rose loudly cheered and said : Befon-I answer the arguments of my honourable opponent . I must put him right as to the principles of the Charter ! They involve socialism no more than despotism—tln- . v propound liberty and equality . Liberty !—but not licence ;—equality ! of political and religious rights—but not of property ! Leteverymanby his industry earn as much as be enn—but the lazy man slisll not live on th > Industrious one . That U what y < n \ r system does , nut ours , sir ! My hon . friend has stated that a division of power is necessary for liberty—but that , ifrvery mai . possessed an iqual share of political power , there would be a despotism—and , therefore , he advocates ih" < iiii * ion of power between Crown , Lords aa I Coi » m-as . Mow . where is despotism most likely to exist?—Where power is divided among classes—a combination tetw . tni . ny

      two of whom may upset the balance of power of taj hin . friend ' s complicated machine—or where the equality ot power for every man renders such conspiracy impossible You say , Crown , Lords and Commons hav « each < qunl power . Suppose Crown and Lords combine against th < - Commons , where is your balance of power then ? ( Loud cheurs . ) I thought the more simpi } inwa were irdiiien the better it was . ' My hon . friend praises our prvsim laws because they are complicated . How easily Im ma . chine may get out of order ! If two or three old women in the House of Lords happen to have the gout , tb y iiiiij votn the wrong way and upset it quit .-. ( LauKhter aim cheers . ) Or if the Quten has no' well riiges ^ tt a ragout , she may chance to sign a death-warrant instead o' a putdon . ( Immense applause . ) My hon . friend guys , meu and nations are liable to be deceived . So they arc—but

      when are they most likely to be deceived—by dereiwtin themselves , or when two or three classes are p- rpsiuali . . trying to deceive them ! My hou . friend Iiub mvntiuued Fox ' s India Bill , That proves my case—the p .... jie were with the Common*—because the Comnums had Kcu ikceiving the people ( as they did with the Roiurui iiili ) , t <> carry a Whig measure against th « Tories . ( Ohe . rv ) But my hon , friend has made out a cute aga . nst him self ;—I suppose he has brought some of hi » univ . r-iijrecoliectlons with him . In Lstin , two ue |{ utiv «« tnak a positive—t beg le » re to tell hiip tbey don ' t ho in English : —he has said monarchy alone is had ; ami in intocracy alone \ sban;—therefore , he wishei us t < hav . both ! ( Loud laughter . ) I always thought two "b » d »" made a " worse . " ( Great appliiuse ) Aly hon truiut is afraid of rash legislation—and says , hi * s hie . ni ol

      checks and counterchecks Hill prevent that tie i * afraidwe should bt ) . too rash . The majority of td « moment would always rule . Does he want th > - miiioriiyot ' the moment to rule % He says this system « f cl ) rvk > ami counterchecks works capitally . No » oubt u . i <> . > . ( Laughter . ) I will tell you how . If n good m . asur < emanates from the people , it gets first to thv Commonand gets thrown out there ;—that ' s " check " If n . i * ny chance it survives the Commons , and g t « to th ' L . riis , be Bure it won't escap'b them—that ' s' countercheck'' Ami should it miraculously survive them and get to tU Cr wu , then say good-bye to it , for be sure it will get— ' v . < cUmate . " ( Immense applause . ) Anil hs to . rush 1 itimhtion—we can daliberate too . The very object ot ' U i \ ersul Suffrage is to elect a People's Parliament , fur the i xpress purpose of deliberating in tho peoplt . ' s inter , ht .

      My ton . friend now proceeds to tho second great hhimuu or his arguments , After having told us thai power inu » t be divided—he proceeds to tell us , that we Aavcjiumr enough—in fact , equal power with other clussi-s . We haven ' t tbe vote , it is true—but then we ' ve " iufl «* nre . " which is just as good . We'll consider bow this it > nu > t > ce . works . Johnny Bright has the vote an I a * ea > . in < o the bargain—his working-man has the hlfsse << boon of ' influence ! " Strong in bis influence , tho man ^ o , h u . n master and says : "lam for thu Charter—an . l I w < mt you to vote for it .

So much the " ( atf thai » in-v donotcomo into the banquet-hall of Monopoly , uktil all good things have been devoured b . v tueir tyr . inr * . ( Loud cheers . ) I will now ask my hon .

      Mr GBRNEI ; My hoo . Jfriend has snid if the people were to raise their voices for the Charter , their « raployers would dismiss them , If this is the case , an > i all Chartists are discharged from work , 1 want to ask where on earth do the masters get their workmen from I ( Cheers . ) But I have been in the manufacturing diniricts and heard the people express their opinions tin ly In favour of Chartism , ia the very teeth of their employers . How then can you say tbey have no iDflutnu < = or power ! They can meet when they like , —where tiny like , nnd express their opinions as they like . Through the Press—public speeches—addresses and petitions . With regard to the vote , who will sa ; my vote would have a greater effect than the speech of Mr Joiuxf Public op inion carried the Reform Bill—public opinion got rid of rotten boroughs—public opinion carried the Ten Hours' Bill , &ad public opinion will carry more uuvl greater reforms . ( Cheers . ) Whs then will say th it public Influence is nought ! Inequality is the law of nature—therefore it must be the law of government . As

      long as one mnn is born rtrong , aud another weak , it mutt exist . Equality would be desputtam . My boa . friend maintains despotism , when he opposes the dhi . sion of powor . Ho is in farour of a simple system of government . ( Hear ! hear !) The simple system is a despotio monarchy—as in Austria , and , in fact , the peopie of Austria are much better off than the people of England . ( Hear 1 hear !) Now , their social condition ia better than ours , yet'tbey have less political liberty than W 8 have . This justifies me in opposing tbe Charter by saying , that your grievances ure sociul and not poetical ;—if , therefore , tbe Charter was gained , you would not be better offthan you are now , ( loud laughter , ) and if you were better fed and clotheu , you would not eate to bave the Chatter . ( Laughter . ) Tlu Chatter would not put one farthing into your potkets—but it would . pHt all povi erinto the hands of tho working classes , j That ' is what I am endeavouring to guard against , ( Shouts of " We are aware of thntl ") I repeat , Oie i division of power can alone secure yous liberties , —» nd 1 power , undivided , would be despotism . I Mr Ewsat Johm . Sir ! I rise to protest , Iu tha Bwne of thu working classes , against tbe inference my hen , | friond has deduced .

      IRELAND , O ' CONNELL AND THE POPE . to THB IDITOB of TBE NOBIHEBJf STAB . Sra ( —Now that Ireland is laid prostrate by the famine , I think it behoves all lovers of true liberty to watch most minutely the action * of Mr O'Connell , as ( or as repardshls visit to the Holy City . Can it be believed that thin is the time that he avails himself of the opportunity to hand Ireland oter to the tender mercies of the bloody and brutal Whigs , and desert her shores when his services are most re quired ? That he has done so l * mojttrue . For what purpose has ho gone to Rome ? That he has been nfflicted with serious illness is a mere rtM «—that he may be somewhat debilitated by ago Is what is to be expected at his time of life , but nothing more . Mow a few words in regard to bis journey to tbe UolyCity . It has been the wish of the English govern . ment

      , ever since the carrying of the Emancipation Act , to have a nuncio from Rome residing at the British Court , and that they should have a representative at the Court of Rome , And the arch . traltor has gone to do the His . Kractful bidding of the Whigs . What is Ireland to receive in return , should this despicable mission be achieved ! Lord John Russell has stated in the most uitstsnt terms , tbat it is not tbe intention of the governuient to increase th « number of the Irish representatives or extend her franchise in the present sesBioB . What is then to be the quidproquo ! It is to be the Endowment of the Cabolis Priesthood of that country-Uvo-God help Ireland ! The government , in that tvent , will not then have to resort to the point of tbp bayonet , or to state prosecutions , to put down agltaiion , a papal bull will be the instrum > nt of coercion . Whether Ireland will submit to the authority of the Pope in temporal affairs , time alone will show . I am , yours , &c , . Am Ex-Londoh Repxal Wasdeh .

      DESTRUCTIVE FIRES . Rkmabkable Firk in Suoreditch An accident of a very singular character took place in Highstreet , Sborediteh , nearly lacing the Eastern Counties llailway terminus . It appears that a number of nwu were engaged in unloading a waggon filled with puncheons ot" turpentine . One of tUe immense casks had been attached to a crano belonging to Messrs Gabey and Wells , wholesale oilmen , and drawn up some distance , when tho head of the puncheon came out , and the whole of its contents fell to the ground

      . A lad , who was standing by , was in tlie act of lighting a cigur with a lucit « r match , and the vapour of the turps coming in contaot with the light , the whole of the 120 gallons of spirits became ignited , and the names rose in one immense sheet upwards of twenty feet ,, selling on fire the shop irem and side doors of the delunct Parcels Po * t depot . At the same time the sheet of flame was drawn under the archway at the side of Messrs Gabey ' s oil store * , and fur aeine tirao it was feared that those premises would have been destroyed . Considerable damage was done to I ho premises , and the whole of the turpentine destroyed .

      * rightful Death op a Fi > mai . b—The Effects of Imkmperanck . —Beiore Mr J . Payne , the deputj-coroner , on the body of Elizabeth JMaxweU , aged 44 , whose death occurred under the following frightful circumstances : —The deceased , who was the wife of a respectable tailor , living at Nu . 5 , Broadway , had been very much addicted tu drinking , so yreat was her propensity that she would burrow money from any one that she knew to purchase drL . k with , and on Saturday last she obtaintd 6 d . from her landlord , and sent a little girl to fetch some spirits . Having beca drinking previously , she became quite inebriated , and , wlii e in the act ot removing a sheet from the fireplace , which was hanging tu air , lull down , . when her dress became ignited from a i-ed-lioi cinder . Before assistance came forward she was completely burnt to death ; her features being so frightfully distorted that it was difficult to conceive that the body was the remain * of a human creature . After much evidence , a verdict of " AccU dental death " was recorded .

      At tub New Smau , Debts Court , Edqwarbroad , a tire brolw out , wuicfc continued to burn with such violence as to destroy the whole of the upper portion ol tho building , and tue lower part nearly burnt out . The premises in the occupation of Messrs llowitt and Co ., drapers and silk-mercers , have also sustained some damage ; and so have those bi longing to Mr Hedges , harness-maker , in the same thoroughfare . The whole ot the parties are insured . The origin of the disaster could not be ascertained .
