      honourable to a patriot and a man . He his , then , a f&ir cause for kis hate to me , and I will esteem it % compliment his abasing me as much 43 he lists . » Tis well for him that it requires but little talent to vilify me ; for all he has to do is to consult a file of Onnge newspapers , and there he will be mire to find gush a stock of ready-made abase of me as may suit his purposes , for many a year to come . ( Laughier . ) 3 Tis , however , a duty I owe to society to cant-on the public against him . Sometime since he went on an experimental journey through the northern districts of Dublin , distributing around , as he proceeded , copies of a document drawn up-by * man named Nelson , asserting the independence of Lower Canada , and advising £ the inhabitants to tirow off the British yoke . The paper was addressed 10 Irishmen , and made applicable to Ireland . At the foot of the document w&s this sentence : — ** Parsons , place-men , resident and absentee

      rackrenters , would Ireland become happy by receiving these things , and getting rid of you ? " He w = nt , as I have before ^ remarked , all through the northern districts of Dublin disseminating this " assertion , " and , upon being remonstrated with by a Catholic clergyQ 3 n , he became insolent and viOperative in the last degree . . _ I merely mention this fact for the purpose of showing how unsafe it is to have anything 10 do with the fellow . Too mnch time , it mar perhaps be said , ha-s been expended upon him ; but i : is only right that the people should be made aware of the spirit which actuates the breasts ol such men , and that the world should see that the miserable Chartist faction have not the slightest chance of obtaining anv footing amongst the

      faithful ^ and devoted people of Ireland . ( Loud cheers . ) When the Chartists were in their palmiest prosperity in England , so far were we from sympathising with them , or joining in their lawless " and unchristian doctrine and practices , that we actually left our garrisons empty , and sent our troops over to quell the r : o : s and disturbances which their turbulent designs had created . They are norr fallen into dishonour , and have won to themselves the contempt of all brave and hones : men . Their conduct at the late election was atrocious . Mr . O'Hl ogins come ? forvrard on their behalf , and would fain recommend them 10 the favour and friendship of Irishmen . But dots be fancy we can forge ; the character ar . d conduct of the partv he upholds ? What was the course

      pursued at Carlisle by the Chartists during tne election I Mr . Howard , a high-minded and patriotic gentleman , a Reman Catholic Liberal Reformer , and Mr . Marshall , of Leeds , were the candidates on the popular side ; but the chivalrous Chartists , instead of allowing these gentlemen to gei the votes of the electors—for ; hey ( : he Chartists ) had but few votes among themselves—turn their backs traitarously on the friends of liberty , the Queen , and the people , use every unholy influence that could be devi-ed to deter the Liberal elector ; from supporting them , and gave whatever votes were a : their own disposal : o Sergeant Gouiburn , tro ; b . eT to that , immaculate Gou : burn—U laugh" )—who had been Chancellor of the Exchequer to Peel ,

      and who actually sent jn his resignation rather man give his vote in favour of Catholic emancipation . Yes this was the man of the Chartists' choice—he whom they enshrined in their heart 01 hearts , and in forwarding whose interests they , not content with having given him their votes , actually killed a man in a desperate rush made against the Liberal candidates . In Nottingham , too , we observe the same they played . Mr . Waiter started , and they it w-j ; tha ' t caused him to be returned . But who is this Mr . Walter ! He is the joint proprietor of & newspaper called the Tunes . ( Groans . ) You may have heard of it ere now—that paper wh ch describes the gallaa : and chivalrous people of Ireland as a "filthy and felonious multitude "— a Roman Catholic saraserv ;"' " their priests as " a demon priesthood "

      — " surpiiced runxms ; "' and their sacred religion as M a foul superstition . " He was the man wb--m the Chartists deemed a fir and proper person to take his seat in the English senate , there to represent a great constituency . Yet , after ail this , U'Higgins has the audacity to address a meeting composed 0 ; Irish Catholics ( to a certain degree , at least , socotnposrd , since one of its members is a priest ) upon the principles of Chartism . But why go I expend words upon ibe man 2 Join him if it L > e your choice . ( Shouts of " No , no , never ! '" ) Sure I kn- ? w that was vhat you'd say . In nothing that has fallen from me this day have I calumniated Mr . O'Hikigtns , or ascribed to him any words or deeds which may not be substantiated as his . The Rev . Mr . M'Kew is present , and he is best qualined to describe his character

      ana cosauct . The Rev . Mr . M'Kxw came forward , and stated that Mr . O'Hig ^ ins had , on frequent occasion ? , ¦ visited his parish , fer the purpose of distributing there the inHunmatory document to which Mr , O'Connell had alluded . He ( Mr . M'Kew ) had remonstrated with him for having done so ; but Mr . O'Higgins only scoffed at him , and defied him : o do his worst . On last Friday and Saturday he had ag-ain visited the parish . Mr . O Co > " > ti . i . —It is not my intention to bring forward any motion on this subject . ( . Hoar . ) It was with reluctance and regret I spoke of it at all . and I now dismiss it entirely . ( Cheers . ) In Drc ^ heda 1 had been given to understand that these Chartist knaves were imposing on the popular party ; hut , on my visit to that town yesterday , 1 discovered that the thing was futile beyond all conception , and no : worthy of receiving any regard whatsoever . ( Loud cheers . )

      The explanation which Mr . Brophy was anxious to sive . but which he was brutally prevented fr < . ~ re doius at the meetinz , he put into the followiyj lerrer , to which insertion was denied by the " Libe ral" press of Ireland : — TO IBI EI'lTOROF THE " PUZEMA .

      Whig Slander Refuted . —Our readers will recollect that some time ago Mr . O'Connor addressed a letter to Lord Jocelyn , relative to certain slanderous reports circulated by the Whigs . We heard nothing more of the matter , till we -aw the following epistle addressed to the Editor of the Morning Ch--. u 7 iic ! e , and inserted in that paper of Tuesday last . The letter at once sets the subject at rest , and , of course , we need not comment thereon , particularly , as the lying report of the fallen faciionrcceived no credence , even from the veriest opponents of the then incarcerated foe to tyranny . Thank God , he is now free from the chains which Whicgery rivet ted upon him , and can brave the snarling curs to their teeth . But we opine that they will deem it prudent

      to evaJehis presence . They are cowards , and only dare to bark in his absence . Like midnight assas-? in > they prowl about in disguise and stab in the dark , but their bloody deeds are unveiied—their vil-] any is detected—their plots are marred , and their " occupation ' s gone . '' The subjoined is the letter referred to : — " Lord Jocelyn—Mr . F . O'Connor . — To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle .

      Rrc- ^ 'T ATitii PT Fire Tiiirsk Church . — Notwithstanding the greatest vigilance has been Uied to discover the incendiary , who on the " 21 st tf Jurv last , attempted to set on fire this noble

      building , not the smallest cluecouid be found whereby to trace out its perpetrator , and up to Friday last , the anair was enveloped in the most profound mystery . On that day-a wcii-uressed stranger , who declined giving his name , called upon the Kb-v . Mr . Coates , of lh : r-k , and ut once declared himself to be the person who Lad made thai attempt . Mr . C . begged him to consider what ho was saying , that it wasuot a mauer forj . jst ; to which the stranger repiieu , Oh , Sir , 1 am not jesting , and I have considered , and I deliberately tell you that I am the person . And pray , Sir , if you are in earnest , what cosld hare induced you to comn * it such au act . I will tell you , Sir , mv motive was not a maliciou 3 one , but 1 was

      driven to desperation and , had I not done that , 1 might have committed some wor ^ e crime . The person still reiused to give bis name , and was desired to call igain in half an hour ; in the mt-antime , Mr . Coa : e = s-mi for the Churchwardens and Mr . Thompson , the poiice officer ; at the appointed time he came and in their presence repeated his former statement ; he was then taken into custody , and next day brought beiore Sir S .

      Gainfonn ( w . no was at work in the bell tower ) left him ; he was al = o recognised by Thomas Jackson as having about tLe " 2 u : h of July lodged two nights at bis Louse , and the prisoner admitted the correctness of the evider . ee , but persisted in concealu ^ his name and place of uboLc , further than this , that he wao Trora tLe South o : icuuand .

      The Havre Journal states that the unfortunate Irish emigrants who were saved from the shipwreck of the William Brown , the horrid particulars of which , and their sufferings in the lorg-boat , our readers will remember , have been sent over to North : America by the kindness of a commercial house at ,. Havre , which gave them a gratuitous passage op : board the Richmond .

      i I PoLTGAiir . —On Friday , at Guildhall , Thoma ; j Williams , the preacher " , wa 3 finally examined , ; charged with polygamy . His three wives were in < attendance . J . CoxaJl , the clerk of Holy Trinity , Cambridge , produced the register of the second !¦ marriage to Elizabeth Wbite , on the 1 st of December Izst , and he identified the prisoner . Elizabeth White , the second wife , who seemed almost heartbroken , stated that previous to her acquaintance with the prisoner she was a widow , with four children , carrying on a profitable business as a baker , at Cambridge , and that , duriDg their three months courtship he completely ensnared her by his higha ^ wn pious conversations , and by the production of

      several religious and moral tracts , of which he pretended entitled him to property in Wales , ana said he had also expectations from a friend in London . She was induced by these representations to dispose of her business for £ 300 , which , with her saving , she placed in the hands of the prisoner . After living with her a short time he deserted her andher children . It was stated that since his third marriage the prisoner had borrowed £ 16 of a young woman who acted as bridesmaid at that interesting ceremony , stating he would make a lady of her . Inspector Penny exhibited an anonymous letter , evidently written by the prisoner , which the third wife had received by post , exhorting her not to prosecute and

      expose herself , but to leave him to his God , who is just aad merciful , and obey the dictates of ourindulgtnt and merciful Redeemer , by returning good for evil . By punishing the father she would punish his untfFcndine young family . In the name of the Lord , therefore , she should leave him to his God and his conscience . ' Blessed are the merciful , for they shall obtain mercy . ' The production of the Cambridge registry completing the evidence , and the prisoner declining to make any defence , Sir James Duke committed him for trial . The pious man vr&a tried yesterday , at the Central Criminal Court , and , being found guilty , was sentenced to be transpcrt-d '« r seven years .

      New Apparatus fob Facilitating the Composing op Typ es . —This apparatus is "the invention of two gentlemen , Messrs . Young and Delcambre , who have secured it by patent , and , we understand , it is Bhortly to be tried on an extended scale , but not before several improvements , suggested by practical men and scientific individuals , are introduced . The apparatus consists of a Gothic framing of cast iron , which supports 72 long brass channels , placed in an inclined position , forming the receptacles of the type ; at tbe lower port of each channel is a small brass plate or key , which has engraved upon it the letter contained in ibe channel , and the moment the key is touched the letter quits the channel , and by its own gravity deposits itself in a " rtick . " When this

      stick is full , it is removed by the compositor , ymo "justifies" the matter into lines of any required ltngtn . It is contended by many persons who have seen the apparatus in operation , that it will not supersede the ordinary method of composing , inasmuGh as that , in the first instance , it is necessary to compose and fill the channels with type , each channel holding a separate letter ; 2 adly , the process of composition follows , and 3 rdly , the " overrunning" the matter , so as to form it into lines and columns * , all the processes necessarily occupying time , and of course incarringadditional expense . The inventors , however , argue that , in the first place the com position necessary for the supply or the feeding of the apparatus , may be accomplished by boys , at the rate of about 4 s . Gd .

      a week , and that , although the charge for " overrunning" ( compositors will understand us ) may amount to one-half the composition , still , as the amount of work which can be accomplished by the machine , is six times greater than what a man can do , the advantage is stili , considerably in favour of the furmer . The calculation made by MessTs . Young and Delcambre is this—that they can produce as much labour for about ] 7 s . 6 d . as , by tbe ordinary process can be accomplished for £ " 2 1 ( K or £ ' 6 . The machine , as we before said , is imperfect ; but it strikes us that , with the exercise of a little ingenuity , the time is not distant when it may be brought , for certain descriptions of work into successful operation . The inventors calculate that by this SGheme

      14 . 000 letters per hour may be composed ; of this , we are sceptical ; but admitting 10 , 000 an hour to j approach nearer the amount , it is clear that not-: withstanding there are two compositions and an j " over-runnmg , " the machine possesses an advan- ; tage over manual labour . We understand the in- j ventors intend instructing several youths in tho new i art , ana to put two or three machines in work with j the view of testing their utility . Until then we are iiot disposed tospeak with confidence upon the merits of the present apparatus , though it must be con- ] fessed that extraordinary ingenuity has been displayed , and that tLe principle arrived at is one of great novelty , and , moreover , calculated to tffect a considerable change in the method of composing . — London Paper

      . At the Livekpool Assizes , on Thursday , ' Girolarno Capena , an Italian , was indicted for the wilful murder of Antonio Toscani . It appeared that the parties lodged in the same house , and that they had quarrelled together about money . The prisoner determined to revenge himself , and for that purpose mixed a tub of gruel , which , in a boiling state , he poured over the deceased while he was in bed and asleep , causing his death in a short time . The Jury returned a verdict of guilty , and the Judge deferred the sentence .

George Biuns , of Sunderland , and other delegates , who had been attending the York Demonstration . The room was crowded , and on the appearance of Mr . Binns , accompanied by Mr . White , of Birmingham , Mr . Arthur , of Carlisle , and Mr . Mason , of Newcastle , the meeting gave a loud aud hearty cheer . Mr . Joseph Jones was called to the chair , and opened the business by informing the meeting that several delegates were present from various parts , and hoped that they would pay attention to what was brought forward : he would introduce

      to their notica their well-known friend , George White . Mr . While was received with loud and repeated cheers . He said that he felt pleased at having anotheropportunity of addressing them , and also at the gratifying reception which ho had received after so long an absence from them . He then entored into an explanation of his couduct in Birmingham , and stated the reasons for the part ho had taken . He also entered into a review of the position held by th © Chartist body , and after congratulating them on the increase of their body in Leeds , he retired by assuring them of his determination to continue the same course at Birmingham which they had witnessed in Leeds , and was loudly cheered . The chairman then called upon Mr . Bums .

      Mr . Binns , m tho course of an excellent address , commented severely upon the manner in which the priests and moneymongers of the day preached , and talked , and canted about the benefit of re-Jigion , and tho resuJts of a strict perseverance in the truths of Christianity , and said that the priests might tell him that it required groat pecuniary sacrifice to support Christianity , but he wotild answer , I how could the people uphold religion and true Christianity if such was the case , when they could not j procure bread ? He described the manner in which the priests depict tho beautie 9 and splendour of the works of God , and the system of human nature which consisted in the richness of the produce of the earth , the glory of the sun , tho magnificence of

      the heavens ; but they did not tell them the way i to get bread , clothing , and the necessaries of lite . [ They would never do good to tho cause of Christianity by such doctrines . He contended that no i governmeut could act according to the wishes of the people , who represented only a fraction of the community to the exclusion of the mass , aud therefore the governmeut of the present day was as bad as it wasj unjust ; the working aau oughtj to have a voice in choosing tho representative ot his interests , and in making those laws which he is every moment of his life called upon to obey . He then went on to ehow tho great amount of distress which existed at the present day , and in all parts of the country , in Lancashire and Yorkshire particularly , and

      atttibuted it , in a great measure , to the effects which machinery and steam power had upon the working classes ; he knew no other way of remedying these evils than by Che adoption of the People ' s Charter , which , if fully carried out , would give to mankind everything which human nature required to support life aud diffuse happiness , comfort , and joy among the homes of the di-scousolato poor . ( Loud cheers . ) He mentioned the manner in which the upper classes of this country , were grinding the bones , sinews , and blood of the working men , who ought not always to be hewers of wood and drawers of water . The Whigs charged tho people with being levellers and destroyers of property , but he would tell them that it was because they wished to protect property ,

      thatheadvocatedtheprinciplesofthepeople'scharter . Ho then described the manner in which ho was arrested and sent to prison the fourth time , and how he was dealt with by the Whig magistrates at Darlington , which elicited great app . au .-ie . The Chartis-. s , ho said , were embarked iu the cause of ( ruth and justice ; their priticipies were good and true , and although they were not crowned with wealth , they had the satisfaction of knowing that they were crowned with such god-like principles as those of the attainment of the People's Charter , and which would work out the political emancipation of mankind . If our prayers ( continued the speaker ) are not noticed by the Q / ieen or her servants , yot there is a throne of justice higher than the thrcno of

      England , and there one who sits on that throne who will not allow his people to starve in the midst of plenty . He went on at considerable length , depicting the sufferings of tho working classea of this country , laid bare all the foul deedrf of Whig calumny and persecution , and sat down amidbt the deafening plaudits of the crowded meeting . The chairman next introduced Mi . Arthur , of Carlisle , who delivered an excellent and heart-s ' . irring address , in which ho depicted the distressed btate to which the people of Carlisle were reduced . He said ihat the poor hand-loom weavers in his part of the country were not earning , some of them , more than from ' 2 s . to 4 a . per week . He impressed upon the meeting the necessity of all working men putting their shoulders to the wheel , and

      to go on unitedly and perseveringly , and their cause would prosper , and they would bo represented , athey had aright to be , iu both Houses of Parliament . The speaker sat down much applauded . Mr . Mason , of Newcastle , followed , and delivered a most eloquent address , which elicited thunders of applause from those assembled . Mr . Andrew Gardner then moved a vote of thanks to the lecturers , which was carried with acclamation ; also a vote of thanks to the Chairman , to Feargus O'Connor , E-q ., to Frost , Williams , and Jones , to Bronterre O'Brien , and to all incarcerated victims , when the meeting dispersed .
