      ( Screeches , groans , and renewed laughter . ) Mr Botlxb was glad to see , though the subject had , of course , created merriment , that the people recollected the deeds of bis ancestors . Mr T . Bradley . —Mr Butler , what about tenant-Jfcfct ? Air BurtBB . —I will reply in homely language—I go the whole hog , ' and nothing else . ( Cbeera . ) Mr J .

      After some confasion , Mr Fixn said he could not recollect tire words of any speeches delivered by M r Welch ; but he was aware that Mr Welch had ad-Tocated thexepealof the union . ( ' Hear , hear , ' and cheers . ) Mr IIilasd was here proposed by Mr P . Cosiellok , and seconded by Mr A . Colles ; an objection having been made to his speaking cnl « 33 he was proposed as a candidate . Mr Htusb then rose to speak , but was interrupted by The Rev . T .

Another Voice . —Upon your sowl . ( Rtars of laughter * nd great confusion . ) The Hibh-Shewff said he should adjourn the court if this confusion continued .

      Mr Hiusd . -How would the people test pronote their interest ?

      Mr Costeuae . —If the sainted spirit of O'Connell « 6 WSMmlttedtoTOn * tiiisearlb , he ( Mr Coatottoe ) would not wonder if he were looking with saintly QtUght on the proceedings of that day , and such scenes . ( Hear , hear . ) He ( Mr Costelloe ' s ) coming forward was rather a joke ; but , as an eld agitator , ne would say that there was no part of Ireland in vhich he would not get a patient hearing . A Voice . —Does your mother know you ' re out ? ( Laughter . ) MrCosiTELLOB was happy to say that , in spite of ome parties who desired the contrary , he got a patient hearing . Thoseparties had found that he knew the trick of speaking , while they did not know toa trick of interrupting . ( Loud cheers , countereheera , and laughter . )

      The Shebbf then called for a show of hands , and declared it to be in favour of Messrs Butler and Hely . A poll was demanded for the other candidates . Spio / as the preceding is , ft fades into insignifittnee before tbe subjoined speech , delivered at the aonunation for

( Langhter . ) Sir Joseph Yorke , in the House of Commons , at one time said , that if Ireland was four-and-twenty hours under water , it would be peaceable , and not till then .

      nerable archdeacon resumed his seat amidst the loudest demoBstrations of applause . It would be unjust , however , if we did not show the other aide of the medal : If redolent of fan , the Irish elections are not wanting in sound political philosophy . At the Antrim County Election , Sir E . Macnaghten gave a very able exposition of his political principles , in the course of which he ihus expressed himself on that great and fundamental question—the Land question : —The produce of . their land , and the condition of the people , he considered to be capable of equal improvement . But culture must be applied in each case—without it , they could never hope tojattain the prosperity of England . They had a sou generally superior , a climate suited to the growth ot most vegetables , and a population , in

      natural intelligence , at least equal to their neighbours ; and yet , while they were the wealthiest of the inhabitants of Europe , they were , perhaps , the most impoverished . It was of no use to say-want of capital was the proximate cause of their inferiority . It was this capital whioh they ought to create , and they had it in their power to do so . He knew of no species of capital that was not traceable to and derivable from land . There were large districts of country , in Norfolk and Lincolnshire , now bearing the finest crops of wheat and turnips , which 19 or 80 years ago produced nothing but rabbits . The average number of bushels of wheat to t » e acre over all Englaad was 26 . In Lincolnshire and Norfolk it was 35 and 40 and if all England was as well cultivated as those two counties , it would produce more wheat than could be

      consumed in it , and she would be an exporting oountry until her population wat increased by 10 or U million ! . The land he spoke of in Norfolk , 60 or 70 years ago , let for 2 s . 6 d . an acre . It now lets for 30 s . Why should nat a similar increase take place in their own produce ? AsjjgriculturistB . we should remember in what a prodigious degree land had been raised m value since manufactures began to flourish . It was the manufacturing classes that were their belt customers . It was they who had created the markets for theur produce . It was they who had raised the price of their hmd ; and , in fact , it was they who paid their rents . As he had said before , it devolved upon them to improve their lands ; tocultivatethose which had hitherto lain waste ; if they did not do so , it would be their own fault that their wndition was not bettered .

      LIMERICK ( Codmii ) . The triumphant return of Mr Smith O'Brien hai Inflleted a ' heavy blow and great diacouragemeit' on the family clique which has assumed th « Repeal leadtrahip of Conciliation Hall . Every device thatingeiuity could suggest was unscrupulously practised to secure the elec . tion of the representative of the Old Ireland faction ; all , however , was worse than useless—the motive which sag . gegtedthe violent onoutlon to the champion of Yoaag lrelandism was too transparent to deceive the most gullible ; and , thon { h abient , and without the expenditure of a tingle shilling on his part , Mr O'Brien won the day bj a majority of 40 over Ifr Caleb Powell .

Sib , —The speech of Mr Drummond has caused some little merriment here ( at Dorking ) amongst our Chartist friends ; for ihls reason- —previous to the election he passed for a High Tory . As you will see , he was pro . posed by Charles Barclay , Esq ., a Tory of the old school , and seconded by Col . Holme Sumner , another of the same , and elected without opposition . After his election he rose to give them a specimen of his principles , ( see speech )—rumour says it made Barclay and Co . bite their finger nails .

P . for NoiireoHAM . —The Charter Union of this city deeply sensible of the vast importance of this event , resolved to testify their heartfelt gratification , and a sapper was accordingly held on Tuesday evening , August 10 th , in the Caledoniaa Hotel , Castle-sUeet . The party was highly select , as it was almost entirely of a private nature ; between forty and fifty sat down to Bupper . It was indeed highly pleasing in itself to seo such a number of real sterling Chartists , and their wiveB and children , seated at the table with such smiling faces , and when we remembered that it was to honour the

      man who hid stood forward so nobly , and devoted all his best days to defend the poor and * the oppressed , the scene was truly delightful . The supper was served up in excellent style , and did credit to Mrs Bain , the hostess . Mr Thomas Trotter occupied tha chair , and Mr Woo . Largue ( Mr M'Pherson ' i seconder at the nomination ) was in the vice chair . After supper the first toast proposed by the chairman was ' The people , the only true and legitimate source of all power , ' which was responded to by three cheers and one cheer more . The next sentiment was' Feargua O'Connor , Esq . M . P ., for Nottingham , ' whioh was drunk with all the honours . Mr James M'Pheraon responded , and

      passed a high eulogium on Mr O'Connor , referred to the defeat of Macaulayat Edinburgh , and of Roebuck and Hobhouse , said that Mr O'Connor would goto the House as the virtual representative of the whole unenfranchised people , and referred to the vast amount of property held by O'Connor as treasurer and father of tbe Land Company . 'Scots wha ha ' o wi' Wallace bled , ' waB then buds by Mr R . Findlay . The chairman then gave out the next sentithent , ' The Unsuccessful Candidates . —successful at tho Hustings , but not returned to Parliament . ' Drank with all the honours . Mr Alex , ilenry responded in an eloquent address , referred to our local election , and the elections throughout the country . Mr M'Phenon returned thanks .

      Kbitbring ( N 6 RTHAMrroNSHiRB , ) ---On Monday morning a number of handbills were posted about this towi »; announcing that a lecture on _ tlie best means of reforming the representative system would be delivered on Tuesday evening , Aug . 17 th , in the British School , by the Rev . Wra . Robinson ( the gentleman who seconded the nomination of Mr Joseph Sturge , to represent the northern division of Northampton . ) At the time appointed , Mr Robert Wallis , a member of tlie Society of Friends , was called to the chair . After reading the hand * bill he introduced Mr Robinson , who , on rising , was received with applause . He said that having heard that a weaver ( in this town ) and his wife and family had lived on bread soaked in water , with a little

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

      vote . He said be did not know much of Mr 0 Connor ' s plan , but he thought the plan he bad laid down was not to complicated , but could be much better carried ont . A few words were spoken by two or three on behalf of Mr O'Connor ' s plan , but sufficient information could not be given . All seemed desirous to learn aa much as they could upon it . The Rev . gentleman was heartily thanked for-hit lecture . Many questions have been asked in this town and vicinity about the L » nd Plan , and if one of the Directors , or some other public speaker could give a lecture on some Tuesday evening , I ddubtnot but some of the middle , and many of the working , classes would join when they properly understood it . • ¦ ' ¦ ¦ - ,

      Sin , —I would thank you if you would allow me to say a word or two in reference to our late election , What with the success of tho brave men of Nottingham , and the almost successful attempts in other places , the Char tists , have causo to be proud indeed ; for come the elections when they may again , Mr Clark ' s return for Sheffield , is past all doubt . It is certain . This is not my opinion only , but the general opinion in Sheffield , The night previous to the election , I , and two others , registered near upon a thousand bona fide votes , as promises ; but Borne wanted to be fetched to the polling booths in cftbs ; and that we could not do , not having the means ; and others , more ignorant , thought they had voted quite sufficient , that we should Bee that their votes were duly handed to the proper parties , by proxy , I presume ,

      At regards fetching votera who are able to walls , we look upon It as bribery . We hare bad popular men in Sheffield before , but never one more popular than Mr Clark , Those who witnessed the procession which escorted him out of the town , can bear testimony to this We were in full anticipation of receiving support from the body of Quakers , from the interest tbey appeared to manifest on tba day of election , but we were disappointed . We must stand by the good old adage , ¦ God helps them , who help themselves . ' The whole affair has cost £ 90 ; and in spite Of what we have raised , with and Central Committee have done , and they hare done nobly , we are about twenty pounds in debt . Active steps , I haT 6 no doubt , will be taken by the committee to raiie tho means and , doubt not that tbe people of Sheffield will come boldly forward , and lend us a helping hand .

      I remain , yours truly , on behalf of the committee , Oeoboi Civiu .
