      The Lord Mayor . —How wisely Divine Providence has ordered it , that no matter how dexterous , how cunning , or how clever a man may be , if he is not honest he will be found out at last . All his canning , all his tact , and all his cleverness , will be discovered in the long run . What a pity it is that great men do not practice that integrity which they say they admire so much in others . " Honesty is the best policy" after all . The Dublin municipal elections and the circumstances attendant upon them , have developed a world of character in one man , about whose fiscal transactions there hang considerable mystery . It is fresh in the recollection of mo 6 t of the readeiB of the Northern Star , that there was a great fuss in the House of Commons , in April , 1836 , about the sale of a seat in Parliament ,

      to one Raphael , a Jew , for the sum of £ 2000 . This sum was paid for the county of Carlow , but although Raphael was * diddled" out of the money , yet he never sat for the county for which he paid so dearly . No one should mention a case of this sort , which so deeply affects the honesty of an individual , without relying upon the most authentio sources of information in support of the accusation . The transaction is one with which all the readers of the Star . in fact , all the inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland should be acquainted . Let every Chartist copy them and treasure them up as the apple of his eye , and mako up his mind never to trust a man who would be guilty of writing such a letter as the following . It is copied verbatim from tbe " Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons , " of the 22 nd day of April ,

      1855 , page 89 . The debate and division were on a motion , " That it appears to this House , that Mr . O'Connell addressed a letter , bearing date the 1 st of June , 1835 , to Mr . Raphael , in which an agreement for Mr . Raphael ' s return tor the county of Carlow , for Two Thocsasd Pounds , was concluded , " as follows : — " darges-street , 1 st June , 1835 . " Mi dear sis , —Ton having acceded to the terms proposed to you for the election of the couaty of Carlow , vis ., you axe to pay , before nomination , £ 1 , 000—say one thousand pounds , aad a like sum after being returned ; the first to b » paid absolutely and entire )/ tor being nominated , the second to be paid only in the event of your haviM been rttaraed .

      " I hereby undertake to guarantee and save you harmless from any and every otber expence wh&tsoaver , whether of agents , carriages , oonnael , petition against the return , or of any other description ; and I make this guarantee in the fulleit sense of the honourable engagement that you should not possibly be required to pay one shilling more in any event , or upon any contingency whataover . "I am , " My dear Sir , •« Youi very faithful , " Daxikl O'Cokhell . " Alexander Raphael , Esq . "

      Ia it not surprising how the author of this letter , this written agreement for the Bale of an Irish county to a Jew , could have the face to complain of being ealled " a knave in politics and a hypocrite in religion . " Just mark the words one thousand Klind fl " TO BK PAID ABSOLUTELY AND ENTIRELY for ing nominated" I . ' One thousand pounds is nice round sum . There was no contest apprehended in Carlow . It was looked upon as a snug little borough , as rotten as Kilkenny , Clonmel , Dungarron , or even Cashel i tself ; so that not more than £ 200 could by possibility be expended on agents , carriages , &c . &e . Let it not be forgotten , that there was a snug £ 1000 of the Precursor money never accounted for , although Mr . Peter Poroell , to

      his credit be it told / did bis utmost to drag it forth , aad havo it applied for the purposes for which it was subscribed . Another £ 1000 haa been realised by the municipal elections . It will be recollected that Mr . O'Connell published , in several letters previous to the elections , that he was so busily occupied by municipal affairs that he could not attend to bis Parliamentary duties , or even answer American letters ia due oourse . Well , he advertised that , in order to avoid divisions in the ranks of the Liberal candidates for the office of town councillors , a ballot should take place in his great rooms , Cora Exchange , and that those who should have most votes should be supported at the real election . Grote ' a Ballot Box was placed on the table , the candidates arrived ; but le 1 there was to be no nomination

      except on payment of £ 10 to £ 50 , according to the wealth of the candidates . Mind , this money , as in Raphael ' s case , was to be paid " absolutely and entirely for being nominated . ' The dupes paid their money , aad in most cases were in a minority , it being previously arranged that the stalking-horses , such as Mr . Thomas Arkins , should be supported . Well , when the real election came on , none of the Liberal dupes and victims were to be supported , except on payment of £ 100 , under the pretence of its being wanted to meet contingent expences . The Raphael case falls far short of the munioipal election case . When the elections were over and all the money paid into the sinking fund at the Corn Exchange , this pattern of sanctity and political integrity muttered in low suppressed tones .

      u Ye would be dupes and viotims and ye are > Is it enough \ or must I while a thrill Lives in your sapient bosoms cheat you still ?" The Lord Mayor made a great outcry about the unparalleled distress of the poor at this inclement season , the very day after the collection of the O'Connell tax , cammonly called " tribute , " but not a word about . this distress until the money was collected . The Ijush Universal Suffrage Association held their usual meeting on Sunday last , Mr . P . Rafter in the chair . The Secretary read the minuteB of the last meeting , after which Mr . O'Higgins rose and handed in eleven shillings , transmitted by that indefatigable labourer in the cause of the people , Mr . T .

      Lowery . He also read a letter from Mr . R . Watson of Leith , who requested that he and Messrs . Thomson and Fletcher would be admitted members of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . He also proposed Messrs . P . Holden , T . Murphy , W . Corbett , aud James T . M'Comick , Esq . Mr . O'Higgins regretted to be obliged to state , that a member of this Association had been beaten by some misguided persons , who were urged to do so by those whose station in Bociety should have taught them to aet more in the character of peace makers than violators of the laws of God and man . He would not allude further to the subject at present , as 6 ome of the evil doers were in prison . In another part of the country , a gentleman of high station

      aad considerable influence , made use of all that influence for the purpose of inducing a landlord to turn out his tenant for the crime of haying become a member of our association ; having failed , he then called upon his parishioners to spit in the face of any person in the parish , who had joined the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . It was par * ticularly painful to him , Mr . O'Higgins , to state that some persons were foolish enough to follow the advice which had beeu thus given to them . He should forbear mentioning the names of the parties at present , as the whole subject would soon come before the public in a more authentic shape . ( Hear . ) Mr . Brophy , the secretary , rose and said , he had great pleasure in proposing for admission , Mr .

      Patrick Lynch , whom he knew , and was proud to have such a man in the association . Mr . Lynch was one of those men who laboured incessantly with him in the great temperance movement , at a time when insult and ridicule were heaped upon those who took a prominent part in promoting the real happiness of his countrymen . Those , who with myself , to « k an active part in advocating that great measurse , were denounced by those who had an interest in deluding the people , as swaddlers , proselyters , and as enemies to this country , and were Srse cuted even more than those Chartists of whom r . O'Higgins baa spoken . It is well known to Mr . Lynch and many others , as we ll as to him , that I

      never introduced any religious or sectarian subjects , at any of those meetings , and I pledge myself before this meeting and tbe public , that I never introduced such topics at any public meeting . Yet , Mr . O'Counell haa held me up to the contempt and scorn of my fellow-countrymen , by describing me as a renegade Catholic and an Orangeman . ( Shame . ) And although he has sinoe ascertained that I am neither the one nor the other , and that he has brought destruction on myself and family , yet with all his apparent piety , he has never come forward to make atonement for the grievous injuries which he kas done me . What said Mr . B . have I done to merit this cruel and heartless persecution ? Well , Mr . O'Connell knows that the law of the land will afford me that

      redress which he denies , and that notwithstanding his high station he can be made amenable to that law . ( hear , hear . ) Mr . Corbett returned thanks for being ! admitted a member . He said , he was a Repeal Warden , and produced his card , and added that he considered himself a much better Repealerfor having joined the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . He said that Universal Suffrage wad all the people of Ireland wanted to obtain . Repeal , and he was prepared to prove that the Chartists of England and Scotland were decidedly in favour of that measure . He had lived in England , and he well knew the opinions of the English people on Repeal . So disgusted were they with the united parliament , that they were most willing , to part , not only with the Irish members , but with the whole of the Lords aad Commons , for eo long as the working classes were

      excluded from the franchise , the House of Commons , whether uuited or not , would eat the flesh and sinew of the poor by taxation , and keep them in their present , if not in a more degraded state . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) Mr . M'Cormiok rose and said he wished the meeting to know that be was decidedly and altogether opposed to the present Repeal scheme . Mr . M'Cormick gave some lucid reasons for the opinions which he put fartb . He spoke at considerable length on the importance of the principles of the People's Charter—principles which he declared he had held fer many years , and which he urged in a most eloquent and argumentative speech , aud concluded by thanking the meeting for having admitted him a member . Mr . T . Dillon was called to the chair , and thanks given to the Chairman , when tie meeting separated .

      SHEFFIELD . —Mr . Harney lectured on Sunday evening to a numerous and attentive audience . Subjeot , Monarohy . The Polish Revolution . —A public meeting of the members and friends of the Association was held in the room , Fig Tree-lane , on Monday evening to commemorate the Polish Revolution of 1830 ; at six o ' clock , Mr . William England was called to the chair . Mr . Julian Harney opened the business of the meeting by reading an addresa from the Polish Exiles resident at Portsta , which appeared ia the Star of November 20 th . Mr . H . proceeded to offer some remarks in explanation of certain passages of the address where the treaty of the 14 th of July wag spoken of , after which Mr- H . proceeded to propose for the adoption of the meeting , the address of the democrats of Sheffield , which our limits will not permit us to give this week . The address was

      received with great cheering . Mr . Harney then proceeded at considerable length to speak in its support , and was warmly applauded . Mr . Otley in an able speech secouded the adoption of the address ; he was loudly cheered . The chairman put the motion , when the address was adopted unauimou&l y . Mr . Louis Marowski , a Polish exile , residing in Sheffield , rose to reply , he delivered a lengthy and feeling speech , in the course of which he recounted some of the sufferings of himself and brother soldiers in the revolutionary war , his forced separation from his country , home , wife , and children . He concluded hi 3 address , during the delivery of which ho had been warmly cheered , by earnestl y exhorting hU hearers to unite with each other , and oppose one undivided front to the common foe . Thanks having been voted to Mr . Marowski , aad three cheers riven for Poland , and the Charter , the meeting dissolved .

      AYR . —At a publio meeting held at the Wallaoe Tavern School Room , on the 27 th ult . after a lecture by Mr . M'Rae , of KUbarehajs , resolutions were adopted eschewing crotchets , under whatever pretext , in the petitions of the people of Scotland for the Charter ; disclaiming all lead ership and professing an exclusive adherence to principle ; professing sympathy with the peopfe of Ireland , and promising never to cease in their tat exertiens to obtain for Ireland the fall measure ef right ; protesting against any agitation for tbe Charter using

      the terms" moral or pnyaoai" force , as the best mode of obtaining it , and directing the meeting of delegates at Glasgow not to entertain the question ; approving of the policy hitnerto adapted by the Chartists in reference to Anti-Corn Law Hue tings and others of a similar description ; and recommending a perseverance therein until the Charter become law . Mr . Smith was elected delegate to the comiDg meeting at Glasgow . Three cheers were given tor O'Connor , for Mr . M'Rae , for the Chairman , and for the Charter . Mr . M'Rae preached therein on the following day , and baptized two children .
