      SHEFFIELD . rUKERAl OF THE VICTIM , SAMUEL HOLBERRY . MAGNIFICENT DEiiOSS-TRATION . From the moment that the death of poor Holberry became known , the Fig Tree-lane Council determined npon bringing the body of the deceased to Sheffield , and giving it a public funeral in testimony of the high esteem in which the deceased patriot wad held by his brother Chartists of this town . Mr . Samuel Ludlam , a veteran in the cause and a personal friend of Holberry ' s was delegated on the Tuisday night to proceed to York to demand the body . The following morning , ( Wednesday ) , Mr . Ludlam

      departed on his melancholy mission , and returned to Shefidd at mid-day on Thursday , with the body , in the company of Mr . Robert Demaiue , and Mr . Peter M'Laughlen of York , whose zealous services cannot be too much admired and applauded . The body was lodged at the house of Mrs . Holberry ' s parents at Atisrcliffe , with whom she resided . Mrs . Holberry , the wife of the unfortunate patriot , is a woman possessirg considerable personal attractions and mental accomplishments of no mean order . Her sufferings may be better imagined than de-Eenbed ; we shrinkfrom ths painful task of attempting to poartray them .

      Oa Friday , green placard ? , edged with black , were posted through the town announcing the funeral as follows : — " Funeral procession of S&muel Holberry , the Martyr to Liberty . — ' Peace to his Soul I' —The friends of freedom will assemble on Monday , June 27 th , 184 ' 2 , in Paradise-square , at one o ' clock , for the purpose of forming into procession , wiih . band , banners , & . c . ; and frcm thence will march to Attercliffe , to meet the body of the departed Samuel Holberry , previous to its interment in the Cemetry . Marshals are appointed to form the procession aud direct the route . —It is particularly requested that all parties attending the funeral will abstain from intoxicating drinks , observing our Motto of * Peace

      Law , Order / and all will observe that strict decorum which the solemnity of the occasion demands . Mr . G . J . Harney , and Mr . S . Parkes , frill < MiT £ I appropriate addresses after the burial serriee . " Monday , June ' 27 ih , a day that will long be remembered in Shtfnsld , came , anil the sun rose bright and glorious to smile upon the efforts of the people to do bonour to the remains of their martyred friend . A large p ! a

      we cannot say ) and in the course of tbe morning Mr . Rayner , the superintendent of the Sheffield police , called upon Mr . Barney , and requested that he would withdraw the above " placard . Mr . H . politely declined doing so , at the same time telling Mr . Rajner that he had tothing to fear , if the peace of the town was left to the keeping of the Chartists , and they were not interfered with . By twelve o'clock some hundreds of persons had assembled in Paradise-square ; their numbers speedily augmented to thousands . About one o'clock the people in der . se mass left the square and proceeded to Atterc ; jffe . The body was enclosed in a splendid oat ccfiia , handsomely decorated , made at York under the direction of the- CLartisi body . The following was the inscription upon the breast-plate : —

      " ¦ S-iMCEL HOLBERBT , Died a martyr to the cause of Demecracy , Jane 21 st , 1842 , Af . ed 27 . " All the monrnful preparations having been completed , the procession started in the following order : — The band , playing the solemn air of Pleyel ' s German Hymn . Two "Undertakers . Two Mutes . The hearse , beautifully decorated , containing the body of the deceased Patriot . Laree and magnificent black banner of the National Charter Association , ( Figtree-lane , ) with . ; he following inscription : — u Vengeance is mine , and I will repsy it , saith the

      Lord . " w Clayton and Holberry , the Martyrs to the People ' s Charter . " On the reverse side" Thcu shalt do no murder . " Two monrniDg coaches , contaimrg the female relatives of the deceased . An open carriage , containing several female

      mourners . The male relatives of the deceased , on foot . Members of the Council of the National Ciarter Association , ( Figtree-lace . ) Members of the Association . Females , two deep—Wen , four deep . Members of the Political Institute , two deep , bearing a white banner , wiih the following inser t } , t ' . ocs c" Political liistitnie , Birks—Clayton—and Holberry , Martyrs to the Charier . ' On the reTerse" The Lord tateth the hands tbat shed innocent blood . "

      The procession commenced its solemn march abcut calf-past two o ' clock ; of course it was not co : fined to the members of the Association , as seme thousands accompanied it on either side . On reaching the town , the road , along the Wicker , from the RaiJway Station , to the Bridge , was densely Mow ^ d , and immense numbers continued to swell the mass , as it moved on . The pavement on each side of the road , the doorways , windows , and in some iEstances tie roofs of the houses were crowded with anxious gzzcTs—eren some of the chambers appealed to be literally crammed with human beings ; and in every nook and corner , where a view could be obtained , there were men and women watching with seemingly intense interest the melancholy right . We obseryed

      many , very many , females , unable to control themselves , giving vent to their feeling 3 in tears . The procession having passed through the Wieker , proceeded np WatDgate , the Hajmarkct , High-street , Far Gate , Barker Pool , down Coalpit Lane , to Sheffield Moor . Leaving the ranks for a moment , the writer had a view of the procession from Mr . "Barraciough ' s chambers in Far Gste ; the sigci watruly splendid ; bnt it was on Sheffield Moor Ifeat the mighty multitude showed to the be-t a ^ Taatagei By the time the procession had reached this quarter , many tboasands of persons were m advance of tbe band , and whilst the vanguard ( jo to speak ) of the procession had reached the bottom of the Moor , the r * ar had not yet left tbe top of

      Coalpis Lane . We will not ourselves pretend to es . ims . te the numbers . The Shfjffieid Iris , a Whig paper and no friend to the CsartiSts , says 20 , 000 ; when a Whig paper says 20 , G 00 , some idta may be fenced of the real number . Several persons , not Chartists , have told us they estimated the number at ? Q , C'OQ . Suffice it to say that no previous assemblage is Sheffield , within ; h 3 memory of living man , has a : all approached in cambers that of Monday last . Is Charu = m dead ! We may observe that along the line of march the shops were closed . We are sorry we cannot give the middle class credit for intending icy retpec ; thereby . From Sheffield Moor the proeessicn proceeded along the New road to the Cemetery , the fields on each side being lined with spectators . On coming within view of the Cemetery some CUBdrefls of persons were seep , already witMn the gates , who had obtained admission to the gTOTlnd by raie

      apn road . As soon as the gates wtre opened » raah , fearlnl , bat fortunately only momentary , wok place . There was nothing like tumult or border , the rush that was made being occasioned »* the intense and natnral desire to get as near to ^ e grave as possible . The band remained at the sues ; the hearse , coaches , and people following , 01 nowe , up the gravel walk to the ehapel . The * oSn having being removed from the hearsa and wken within the ehapel , where was admitted the JBoarners aud a few Belect friends , the burial service was read by the Reverend Mr . Landells , Independent Minister of Lee-croft-Chapel . The coma was then removed , and having been lowered into the grave , scarcely a dry eye viewing the ** d spectacle , the Rev . Gentlemen offered up a solemn and impressive prayer , and having done so immediately retired . . The following hymn composed for the occasion by

      John Henry Bramwich of Leicester , was then givon out by Mr . Samuel Parkes , and sung to the ait oi the Old Hundredth p 3 alm : — Great God ! is tkis the Patriot ' s doom ? Shall they who dare defend the aJave , Be -harl '< T within a prison's gloom , To fit them for an early grave ? Shaft victim after -rictim fall , A prey , to cruel class-made laws ? "Forbid it , Lord 1 on Thee we call , Protect us and defend our cause . In Tain we pray'd the pov&rs that be To buist tbe drooping captive ' s rh » in . But jnfercy , Lord , beloDgs to Thee , x ' or thou hait freed him from all pain . 1 b this the price of Llbtity ?

      Must Martyrs fill to rain 'he prize ? Then be it so ! we will be free , Or all become a sacti&c-j ! Tho' Freedom mourns her rourder'd son , And ¦ wteping fritnds surround his bier ; Tho" tears like mountain torrents ma , Our cause is water'd by each tear . O ! may his fate cement the bond . TLat binds us to our glorious cause I Baise ! raise tbe ctj ! let all icsptnd ; " Justice , and pure aud equal laws . ' Mr . Juli * n Harnpy , standing on the edge of the irrave , then addressea the assembled people in . nearly the following words : —

      Sisters and Brethren , —We have gathered together upon this mourniul occasion to pay a last tribute of respect to a departed brother ; one of the lEsnyred -ricciras of despotism ; one endeared to ns alike by his public virtues and private worth j one who was emphatically an "honest man "— "the noblest work of God . " You within the compass of my voice—but few compared with the many thousands of whom you are a portion—you who knew him as a public man can bear witness to his sterling honesty , his unbounded integrity , his thorough incorruptibility , and dauntlfS 3 courage . His afflicted partner—his sorrowing relatives—those who knew him as a neighbour , or a townsman ; all who had the happiness to enjoy his friendship can teEtify

      to his moral xrettness ; and their presence and tears this day are the evidences of his virtnes , and their veneration for tha possessor of them . Yet have we assembled here-to-day to mourn over the grave of one so good , so brave , so noble of heart and soul . Why , O why is this ? What was his crime 1 What his offence !—for which he has been sent to the cold g ? ave 1 He saw his country enslaved , her sons in bond'st-e , her daughters in misery—he heard the cry of dirtre ? , « , ihe wail of agony which rang through the land ; and his heart was moved with pity for his fellow creatures , and beat high with stern resolve to break his country ' s fetters . Oppression hovered over England , and freedom had iled her Bhoresj

      but"Sb » has sons that never ! never J Whilst heaven has light or earth baa graves , Will sto jp to be the despots' slaves : " and of these was the heroic patriot over whose inanimate rtmains we now mourn . Bravo himself , he believed in the couratre of all who applauded his generous sentiments ; and in the hour ui trial , left unsuppoitcd , he fell . Possessing a heart wiihout guile , he believed iu tha truth of all mtn ; and confided m disereai ts who betrayed him into the hands of the enemies of his country . What language can be too strong in which to denounce tho incarnate fiends—ths Iscariot traitors—to whom I allude ? ** those catacombs of living death "—to speak of them in the language of Curran— " where the wretch that is buried a man , lies till his heart has time to fester and dissolve , and is dug up an informer !"

      Ol for ^ old uncounted , for power unlimited , for tbe wealih of Crasus , or the scepire of the Csesars , I wouM not have ihat man's blood upon my head . But why dwell upon the crimes of the rotten-hearted villains that for the sake of filthy lucre would betray the causa of freedom ! They were but the despicable tools of their base employers—the oppressors that have pursued him to his grave . If nothing sheTt of his blood would satisfy them , why the mockery of sentencing him to imprisonment 1 Four years of torture , two of which have been sufficieiit to consummate the horrid tragedy ! O ! possessed I the power to give utterance to the thoughts swelling within my breast ; could I launch the thunders of eloquence against the head 3 of the destroyers of Holberry , I would rou ^ e ye to men of more than common mould ; my words should make

      " The Tery stones To rise against earth ' s tyrants /' and the cry of " Holberry and justice , " ringing through the land , should strike the death-knell of tyranny , and proclaim to the world the overthrow of ctspoti 5 m and oppression !! Our task is not to weep ! We must leave tears to women . Our task is to act ; to labour with heart and soul for the destruction of the horrible system under which Holberry has perished . His sufferings are over' He is where " the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest . " He sleeps well 1 He is cambered with the patriots who hare died

      martyrs to tbe cause of liberty before him . His is the bloodless laurel awarded him by a grateful and admiring people ! How different to the wreath which encircles the brow of the princely murderer and the conquering destroyer ' . Compared with the honest , virtuous fame of thi 3 eoh of toil , how poor , how contemptible , appesrthe so-called glories that emblazon the name of an Alexander or a Napoleon ! Desolated empires and slaughtered myriads have preserved their earner , from ob ! iTioD , hut will notin afntureaad a better gge save them from execration ;—whilst with the Tells and Tylers of the earth , the name of Holberry will be associated , venerated and adored :

      " Far dearer tbe grave or the prison , - Illumed by one pa trio Vs name , Thaa tbe trophies of all -who have risen On liberty ' s ruinB to fatne . " Be ours the task to accomplish , by one glorious effort , the freedom of cur couLtry , and thereby prevent , for the future , the sacrifice of the sons of freedom . Tyrants have in all ages and ali countries s'rove by persecution to crush liberty ; and by tortare , chains , and deatb , to prevent the assertion of the rights of man . It would appear that our haughty rulers are bent upon following the same eonrse , and seeking by the same means to arrest the progress of democracy . We bid them defiance . ' we

      tell these puny Canutes that , despite their bidding , the ocean of intellect will move on ! Here , by tne grave-Bide of the patriot ; here , under the bright blue canopy of the skies , let us etter into a " solemn It ague aac covenant' '—let the honest and true embrace in fraternity , and swear with me—swear by tke imperishable truth of our principles—by the dead relies of our murdpred brother—swear , whilst the spirit of Holberry hovera over us , and smiles approval cf the row—swear , to unite in one countless moral prfalanx , to put forth the giant strength which union -will call into being , and aid , assist , and fraternise with each other to burst the bonds that bind je . Swear as I now swear , that neither persecution ,-nor scorn , nor calumny—neither bolts , nor bars , nor chains , nor racks , nor gibbets—neither the

      tortures of a prison death-bed , nor the terrors of the scaffold ,, shall sever us from our principles , affright ns from our duty , or cause us to leave the onward path of freedom ; but that , come weal , come woe , we swear , with hearts uplifted to the throne of eternal justice , to have retribution for the death of Holberrj ! swear to have our Charter law ! and to annihilate for ever the blood-Btalned desj . otism which has slain its thousands of martyrs and tens of thousands of patriots , and immolated at its shrine the lovers of liberty and truth ¦ If ye do thia and act upon your vow , while we mourn the death or Holberry , our children will rejoice that he died r , ot in vain } but that from bis ashes rose , phoenix-like , bis dauntless spirit , inspiring ' you with the love of freedom ! and the Btern resolve to set your country fr © e 3

      The deepest silence prevailed during Mr . Harcey ' s address , interrupted only by the occasional half-suppressed responses of hi 3 hearers . Mr . Samuel Parkes followed—Friends and fellowcouDfrymtn . The circumstances that have called us together are the most solemn , important , and affectiui ; that can possibly be contemplated . We are ceiled upon to do honour , not to one who was seated on a throne of grandeur , swaying the sceptre of royalty-over empires—nor to one who inhabited the gorgeous palace , or the costly mansion—nor to one who sought to lay up gold as the dust , or silver as the bal ^ Dce ^—nor to one who wished to raise a

      splendid monument whereby to perpetuate his fame j but to one who , deeply imbued with the feelings ol humanity , deeply sympathising with those suffering around him , was ready to use any and every means for the purpose of lessening their sorrows and mitigating their woes . Thence it was that he became an easy prey to those vile tools , men of his own order , who were employed by the powers that be to entrap the unsuspecting into the meshes of tie law , thereby hoping to defeat , by such means , the glorious end which Holberry had in view , the freedom of his countrymen from that political bondage in which , for ages , they had been held . Let no one dsre to insult his dead ashes now that they are kid in the silent tomb .

      Many have been the base ealummes that have been cast npon bis character by his enemies . Some have branded him with the name of traitor , assassin , and spoliator ; as one who desired -to enrich himself at the expense of others ; but ah ! my friends , such motives as those did not exist in the breast of tbe departed martyr . Ai no ; rather let them refer back to the causes which were in existence , which led him to adopt tbe means he did for the overthrow of class-legislation , and the annihilation of bad laws , and to which be wa 3 incited-by the hireling spies of a corrupt Government . My friends , I have stated already that Ihe circumstances which have called as together are of the most solemn , painful , and impressive charac-

      ter . Remember that we now Btand upon the tombs of the departed of all ages . Look at the vast assemblage that have congregated and followed , in mournful procession , to this consecrated spot ; and then contemplate that , at a day not far distant , worlds npon worlds shall be congregated together , not by the mere sound of musio , but the blast of the archangel ' s trumpet shall sound through the caverns of the dead " arise ye and come to judgment 1 " See the graves opening , tombs shivering , the earth quaking , and the rocks rending , mountains falling , planet after planet , comet after comet , constellation after constellation , the sun turned into darkness , and the moon into blood , and the whole universe kindled into

      one grand conflagration . Then Bhall nature utter her final groan ; after which shall be seen erected in the high heavens above , the great white throne—white , indicative of its purity , upon which shall be seated the great judge of all tho earth , around whom shall be gathered the oppressed and the oppressor , the monarch and the Bobject , the tyrant and the Biave , who ehall each receive , without partiality , according to his works . Then we trust to meet our departed friend enshrined in an immortal and glorified body iu the climes of bliss ; where the chains of slavery never clanks , the tear of sorrow never falls , and the sigh of distress is never heard . I call upon you by all that is great and wise and good ,

      to prepare for that solemn and important event : and while you are so doing forget n&t the great and glorious struggle in which you are engaged , and for which Holberry has suffered a martyr ' s fate . Rally round the standard of your Charter , and for tbe sake of a Shell , a Frost , a Clayton , and a Holberry ; for tho sake el the widowed wives and . fatherless children , of those departed patriots ; for the sake of all that are now suffering ; and for the sake of posterity yet unborn , rest not , day nor night , until by every legal and constitutional means you have made the Charter the law of the land , and thereby proclaimed the physical , moral and political freedom of the universal familv of man '

      Mr . Thoznasson followed Mr . Parkes delivering a brief address . The parties then left the grave , and the mass of people forming in procession left the Cemetery , returning to the town by the same line of route taken in . coming to the ground . The mourners returned to Attercliffa ; the people to Paradisesquare , where they almost immediately separated , returning quietly to their homes . It was ten minutes to 6 even o'olock when the people reached the Square , the proceedings having thus occupied close upon seven hours .

      Some fears ware entertained that considerable damage would be done to the beautiful walks and graves in the Cemetery by the presence of so large a number of people ; happily these fears proved illfounded ; the only damage dono wa 3 the trampling down of the grass and a few of the flowers in the vicinity of the grave ; this was unavoidable . We < lid not observe a solitary cuse of drunkenness or disorderly conduct , either going to or returning from the Cemetery . Public Meetings . —A meeting was held the same evening in Paradise Square , to take into consideration the propriety of memorializing the House of Commons , demanding an investigation into the conduct of Sir James Graham regarding the death of Samuel Holberry . Notwithstanding that the people must have been fatigued with the labours of

      the day , in the course of an hour from the first dispersion of the people , they had re-assembled many thousands strong ; indeed , by half-past eight o'clock , the Square in every part was nearly filled . Mr . Evisson was called to the chair , and opened the business in a brief but effective address . Mr . Clark , of Stockport , was then introduced to the meeting and addressed the people for upwards of an hour in a soul-stirring addres 3 , in the course of which he was loudly and enthusiastically cheered . Mr . Edwin ( not William ) Gill moved a resolution denunciatory of the Government with respect to poor Holberry ; seconded by Mr . Samuel Parkes , and carried unanimously . On tho motion of Mr . Harney , seconded by Mr . George Parkes , the following memorial was unanimously agreed to—its adoption closing the proceedings of the day : —

      To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled . The Memorial of ihe Inhabitants of Sheffield , in ¦ public meeting assembled , this 21 th day of June , 1842 ; Sheweth , —That Samuel Holberry of Sheffield , was convicted M the York Spring assizes of 1840 , of conspiracy and sedition , and sentenced to four years imprisonment in Northallerton House of Correction . That your memorialists have good reasons for asserting their belief that the said Samuel Holberry wa 3 entrapped into the commission of the acts for which ho was doomed to so cruel a punishment , by miscreants employed for the purpose of fermenting disorder with the view of thereby retarding the establishment of the people ' s liberties .

      That the said Samuel Hclberry at the commencement of his imprisonment was compelled to work at the treadmill , a punishment clearly illegal , he not having been sentenced to hard labour . That though &VBSE < iVEXTLY the said Samne ] Holberry wa 3 removed from the degrading ( and in his case unlawful ) punishment of the treadmill , yet during the space of eighteen months he was subjected to all tbe odious restrictions of the " silent system , " which , in the opinion of your memorialists , is a system of refined torture , opposed alike to the common dictates of humanity and the precepts of the Christian religion . That owing to the cruel restrictions and general bad treatment to which tho said Samuel Holberry was subjected , his health rapidly declined , and ho became speedily reduced to a state of extreme debilitv atid Buffering .

      That in the month of September , 184 U tho said Samuel Holberry was removed to the county gaol of York . That his health continuing to decline , his frienda and the inhabitants of Sheffield repeatedly petitioned or memorialised her Majesty ' s Home Secretary in his behalf , in which petitions or memorials they declared and reiterated their conviction , that death would be his unhappy lot unless immediately set at liberty . That vonr memorialists are aware that memorials to the Home Office in behalf of the Baid Samuel Holberry , were also sent from York , Brighton , and several other places , to all of which but one uniform answer was received , " That Sir Jamos Graham saw no sufficient grounds consistent with hi 3 public duty for interfering in the case . "

      That the said Samuel Hoiberry expired in York Castle * of a liver complaint , on Tuesday , June the " 21 ^ r , 1842 , caused in tho opinion &f your memorialists by the long confinement to which he was subjected . That upon the inquest held on the body evidence was given that the deceased had been in a dying s > ate since the month of April latt . That this was known to Her Majesty's Home Secretary cannot bo denied , Sir James Graham having been iu the regular receipt of medical certificates testifying to the state of the deceased ' s health .

      Your Memorialists are awara that an order for the release of the said Samuel Holberry , reached the authorities at York a few days previous to his death , with the conditions annexed that ho should enter icto sureties to bo of good behaviour for five years , himself in £ 200 and two other persons in iMOOeach . Such conditions , added to the fact that on receipt of the order for his release , the unhappy victim had not five days instead of five years to live , renders such seeming act of clemency a wanton and cruel mockery . That your Memorialists do request your Honourable House to appoint a committee to inquire into all the facts connected with the treatment and death of the deceased Samuel Holberry , with the view of rendering substantial justice .

      Bairstow would address the Sheffield Chartists that evening in the Town Hall . At the hour appointed the ball was crammed in every part , the audience listening with intense interest to the splendid address of Mr . Bairstow . A collection towards meeting the expences of the public funeral of poor Holberry was made at the close . On Friday , a large meeting of the unemployed was held in Paradisesquare . The meeting had been called bjr the Rev . R . S . Bayley , to be holden at the Corn Exchange ; accordingly some thousands assembled . Mr . Edwin Gill ( hot Mr . Gill , of the Political Institute ) being observed in tbe crowd was speedily summoned to addreBs the people , and the cry being raised ' * To Paradise-square , " an adjournment took place , when

      Mr . Gill , Mr . Samuel Parkes , and a gentleman from York addressed the meeting , and were enthusiastically applauded . Another adjournment was made to Fig-tree-lane , when a lar ^ e number of new members was enrolled . Mr . Bailey in the meantime had gone to the Exchange , and finding only one person left , returned quietly home to chew the cud of disappointment . The Independent of la » t Saturday , in noticing some of the foregoing meetings , says , ~ - An attempt has been made this wetk at a Chartist movement in Sheffield , but with small success . Our readers are well aware of the complete separation of the more rational and intelligent portion of the Chartists frem the disciples of

      O'Connor . It was in the latter interest that the move of the week haa been made . " But he practically gives himself the lie , when he winds up by telling his readers , that , "The authorities of the town have kept a watchful eye upon the proceedings of the week . ' Poor fellow ! Little need for his employers keeping " wide awake , " if our success was gO M Small . " Their watchfulness" is the proof Of our progression . In less than a week we have enrolled at the Fig Tree-lane Room , one hundred and thirty new members!—Not so very bad , Mr . Independent . Mr .

      DUBLIN . The Irish Universal'Suffrage Association mot on Sunday the 26 th of June , at the great rooma , No . 14 , North Ann-stieet . Mr . Donald Turner was called to the chair . I Mr . Win . H . Dyott tho seoretary , read the minutes of the last 'meeting ,.- which were confirmed . He next read a letter signed ' Matthew ' ; O'Gohnell , " which appearedi in the Freeman's journal of the 21 st inst ., aad the reply of the committee of the Association , which reply was paid for as an

      advertisement , and appeared in the advertising columns , though the letter appeared in the columns of the leading article . ( Hoar , hear . ) He said that both the letter and the answer to it should be sent to the Northern S / ar for publication ; for the double purpose of affording the Chartists an opportunity of replying to the allegations in the lei ter ; and also to assist them in discovering who and what this Matt . O'Connell is \ and what ho was duing during the seventeen yoarB which he saya he Bojourned in Yorkshire .

      Mr . Dyott then read an excellent letter from that genuine Irishman and sterling patriot , Mr . LeesOn , of which the following is au extract : — " I consider Universal Suffrage to be the battering ram that will shortly douiolish the long-built but feebly-propped citadel of bribery , corruption , tyranny , et cwn mulis aliis . " In my opinion the man who speaks against Universal Suffrage is an enemy to mankind , and a slavemaker ol' the children yco unborn . Every lover of real freedom should promulgate the glorious principle of the Charter . ' Homo non iibinatussedguequo aliis ? " ( Great cheering , ) Mr . Dyott , moved that Mr . Leoson ' s letter be inserted on the minutes , which was carried unanimously . Mr . O'Higgin 8 , moved "That Mr . Jamea Cullen , of Cullen , be admitted a member of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . "

      Mr . H . Clark seconded the motion . Mr . Cullen was admitted . Mr . O'Higgin 8 rose to brine ; forward tho motion of which he had given notice on that day week . Ho said that he was sure that there was not a man in the meeting who had read the Northern Star for the Jasi . five years , who would not joinhimdVIr . O'Higigns ) most cordially , in tendering to tho Editor of that paper , the Rev . William Iliil , their most sinoere and hearty thanks for hia able , consistent , fearless and unflinching ad vocacy of tho rights of the working classes —( hear , hear ) . They all knew that he ( Mr . O'H . y was a Roman Catholic , but perhaps some of them did not know that the Rev . Mr > Hill ia a Protestant minister- ( hear , hear ) . Mr . Hill set

      a bright example to other clergymen by taking part with the poor , the forlorn , the destitute ^ and the wayworn wanderer . The Editor of a popular journal Buch as the Nor / hern Stftr , has a great deal more to encounter than thote who ate unacquainted with tho difficulties attendant ou such an arduous undertaking imagine . A government , whether it be Whig or Tory , will be exceedingly jealous of a newspaper devoted to the interests of the people , and will watch every opportunity , and have recourse to every means to entangle Euch a paper in the laws of libel and sedition . Now as the Northern Star isthe representative of 3 , 500 , 000 people , tho representative of the wants and manes of such a Vast number of the working classes , the wonder is how and by what

      means a paper could have been conducted so long without tailing a viotini to its enemies or to a want of knowledge on the part of som ; of its millions of friends and supporters . The whole Whig press and the whole Tory press were equally opposed to tho rights of the people . Tho Whigs , to be sure , professed to be friends of tho people , and pointed out the Tories as their hereditary enemies , while the ambition of the Whi- 's ' was ' to . have the power to act the pan of the Tories . Their deep-laid and insidious schemes to take away the last remnant of publio liberty were going on smoothly euough , until tho establishment of the Northern ¦ Star , when the Editor of that paper took the mask off Whiggery , and exposed its hideous countenance

      and nefarious schemes against public liberty , to the astonished gaze and execration of a duped , confiding , and deluded people , ( itear , hoar . ) For this single service , though by far more valuable thaa the people are yet alive to , the Editor of the Northern Star is entitled to the thanks of every lover of justice , of rights of a fair day ' s wages for a fair fair day ' a work . ( Hear , hear . ) When the Irish Catholic clergy were availed by Whig and Tory alternately , and by both together when it answered their purpose ; when they werp designated by a Whig scribe as hulking , idle vagabonds , opposed to a legal provision for the poor , lest it lessen their own influence over their benighted followers , who was it that stood boldly iorv- 'aru in defence of truth

      and justice ! who was it that threw all his energy , all his talent , and all his vast power , into the scale in favour of the injured , tho wronged , and misrepresented IWsh Catholic priesthood ?—The Rev . William Hill , Editor of the Northern Star . ( Hear , hear , ) He it was who contrasted ihe conduct of the Irish Catholic clergy towards their poor , persecuted flocks , with that of the ministers of the Established Church . He it was , who first taught tho millions of English readora to know and to understand hovr the poor unpaid Irish Catholic priest was ** instant in Beaaon and out of season , " in ministering to the spiritual wants of his parishioners , going forth . at . : all hours of the day and of the night , administering spiritual consolation to those

      wham want , disease , or old age , had laid on the bed of sickness , giving hia last shilling to the widow and the orphan ; and often begging alms ef those who could affsrd to give ; th'im , in order that he might privately aid those who required them—those whom sickness had reduced to the last stage of povertywho had no one to look to , no friend on earth put the priest . And , during those visits to tho , sick-bed of the destitute * and afflicted , it frequently happened that tho priest inhak-d the contagion , and fell a victim to it himself , while the pampered , proud , and overbearing parsons of the church by law established , rolled along in bis gilded chariot ; aud , not content with all his worldly grandeur , and the contempt and scorn with which ho treated the poor

      Catholic pritSfc , he vilhlied and slandered him into the bargain . The Reverend Mr . Hill laid tho conduct of tho . Irish- Catholic priests and the conduct of their traducers clearly and truly before his readers ; and , wiihout saying one word as to the relative merits of the faith of ritlier , he proved to the satisfaction of every unprt judiced reader , that the practices of the Irish Catholic priests were more iu accordance with those of the Apostks and primitive Christians Ihao the praoices of their traducers , the Whigs and Tories , both lay and clerical—( hear , hear . ) For this expose , for this act of justice , towards his ( Mr O'Higgih ' H ) Catholic oountrymes , the Rev . Mr . Hiil was surely entitled to the thanks of any and every a-sembly of enlightened and unprejudiced Irishmen—( hear , hear , hear , and cheers . ) But there wero grounds which entitled Mr . Hill not only to the thanks , but tho gratitude of the

      Irish Universal Suffrage Association . When their Association was in its its infancy , when its members did not HUmber twenty-five , Mr . Hill save publicity to their proceedings as freely and as heartily as if they numbered as many thousands . When their Association was declared to be unlawful by the greatost crimiual lawyer of the age , but the most unscropulous asserter of anything to answer his purpose for the moment ; when that great lawyer pledged his professional reputation that it was a transportable offence to be a Chartist in Ireland ; when tho same man * the same pious old gentleman , had no- compunctious visitations for having at one time described them as Orangemen , and at another time as Ribbonmen ; and when be did not scruple at instigating , publicly instigating bis deluded followers to come hero and force their way into this very room ; and break the windows and everything else they could break ; do all tbe

      damage in their power , and then ran off to the police office and send a sergeant and twelve police men into this room under the proteneo of suppressing a riot , and dispersing an unlawful assembly ; and » vhen the Dublin "liberal" papers published every lie , every Blander that could be heaped upon us , and at the same time refused to insert our justification ; even When offered to be paid for as an advertf . sement . Then the Northern Star not only published our proceedings , but the proprietor of that paper ; Feargus O'Connor , published a short letter calling upon the English Chartists to-send their papers to our Association ; the result of which was that four hundred papers a Week were sent to us for a considerable time ; and those papers were transmitted to the provinces , so that in one year , notwithstandingall the opposition aud misrepresentation on the part of ^ the Dublin "liberal" press , instead of twenty , w « have now no less than 98-i enrolled ¦

      members ! - ^( liear , hear , and great cheering . ) We owe thifii spreading of our principles--this vast increase in our numbers , in a very great measure , to the publicatiori of our proceedings in the Northern Star , and to the admirable articles writ ten by the Rev . Mr . Hill in favour of public liberty , without reference to sect or party—( hear , hear . ) „ The proprietor of that paper , Mr . O'Connor , has suffered enough already for the crimes of others , for the publication of that which the Attorney- General is pleased to call libel , without subjecting himself to frebb prosecutions , additional and overwhelming expence , fine , and imprisonment , with a view to destroy the paper , and , through its -destruction ' ,. rivet the chains of slavery on the worn-out limbs of the oppressed working classes of Great Britain and Ireland , which is the end aimed at by all the brawlers against the "tyranny of the Northern 5 <« r" — ( hear , hear . ) They must be shallow

      polincians indeed who do not see that in the event of honest Joseph Hume succeeding in getting rid of FeargU 9 O'Connor and the Northern Star , his friends the" base , bloody , and brutal Whigs , " will get rid of tha complaints , the cries of the people , Who , in such an event , Will be allowed to die quietly . There will be no one to excite the sympathies of the people for a Clayton , a Peddie , * Holberry , and that pUr © spiritj Watkins . Let us , at any rate , join heart and hand to sustain , as far as in our power , tho Northern Star , its intrepid proprietor , and its mild , amiable , enlightened , and unflinching editor , the Rev . William Hill—( hear , hear . ) Mr . O'Hig ^ ins concluded by moving the following resolution : —

      '' That any factious interference with the real liberty of the press , either by private individuals or by public bodies , is in direct opposition to the principles of the People ' s Charter ; that we know from experience , that the movements of a popular journal are jealously watched by the emissaries of the law ; and that it therefore requires the utmost skill , viitilanco and circumspection on the part of the Editor to steer his paper clear of the legal pit-falls by which lie is surrounded ; that We are fully awaro tnat private individuals , and occasionally public bodies consider themselves aggrieved by the suppression of part , or perhaps the whole of Jheir correspondence which upon rtflocting they will find is but very rarely done , except to avoid the meshes of the

      law ; and seeing as we do , thatthu Northern Star has been conducted with the most consummate skill , talent and integrity , its columns always open to the publication of the grievances of a people wholly unacquainted with the law of libel * we deem it an act of common justice to the Rev . Wm . Hill , the Editor , to tender him our most hearty thanks for his manly , straightforward , and able advocacy of the rights of the people of Great Britain and Ireland ; tor his unanswerable defence of the Irish Catholic clergy ; and for the kindness and courtesy which ho has uniformly extended to this association . " Mr . Pyott paid ho had great pleasure in seconding the proposed vote of thanks and confidence in the Editor of the Northern Star . He had had

      something to do with the management of newspapers as woll as other periodicals , and he knew how difficult amatter it was to do one ' a dnty to the public and steer clear of offence to individuals . He had as often admired the tact and forbearance of the Rov . W . Hill as he had the splendid common-senso articles which filled the leading columns of the people ' s paper . He did not like to name or denounce any : but ther . i were some amongst the ostensible cWeftains of the movement who seemed to painper their own overweening vanity and ridiculous fcielf-importance , instead of cherishing at all sacrifices the great cause of justice and the millions— - ( hear . ) It was to be regretted that such differences should come , but they were the natural consequences of the petulant temper of some , and the morbid taste for notoriety of others , no matter ' Off procured . With suoh rash and weak-minded men , the Editor of the Star had much trouble . If

      he were imprudent enough to ineert all they spoke and wrote , he would bribg the paper he conducted into danger and contempt * damage the cause , and retard the progress of Chartism . Were he to do ^ his from any mistaken delicacy , he would discover that they should be now passing a vote of censure on him instead of ... a vote of confidence . He was the great literary helmsman , -audit behoved him to look ahead and steer clear of all dangers , whether from open foes or over-officioiis and imprudent friends—( hear ) For his ( Mr . D ' b ) part he must confess he thought they owed the present proud position of the pebple principally to the advocacy of tho Northern Star , the powerful organ of democracy . He saw by the factional prints that a coalition of the Whig and Tory aristocracies wag about being in all likelihood formed—this was the consequence of the growing , or rather matured strongth of the people . Tho Chartists could beat either of the factions

      sjugle-handed , and with Mr . Hill at tho head of their energetic press , and FearjEjUs O'Connor to organise their moral-force meetings they would , please God , be found too many for Whigs and Tories united —( cheers . ) When he contrasted the servile prints of the day , whioh lauded every thing appertaining to wealth and rank in the most fulsome strain of parasitical adulation , with the honest , fearless , and independent paper he held in bis hand , ( tho Northern Star , ) ho could not sufficiently express his contempt for the mean-souled conductors of journals which lent themselves to the support of the present nefarious systora , and his admiration of the man who spoke through the columns of the Star the words of encouragement and protection for tho poor ; those of biting scorn and bitter exposure for the unfeeling rich and tyrannical

      great—( cheers ) . Let them tako up a Saundera of Dubliu , or a Morning Post of London , and read the columns of frivolous nonsense about when the Queen drove , and how ; about Lady Rich-arone ' s bal ! , and Lord 8 uch-a-one ' 8 . fete ;; the Daks ' s dejune a la fourcheltc , and the Marquis ' s tournament , then lay tnetn down in wondering disgust ; when in parallel columns they saw displayed the unheard of wretchedness , the utter destitution of the labouring and luxuryproducing classes —( hear ) . Let them then scan tho honest broadsheet he held in his hand , an < l iind oily held up to merited derision , tyranny to juat indignation , seo courage and wisdom united , ability and prudence conjoined , and , thank heaven that the destinies of Chartism had fallen into such able , such judicious , such unimpeachable hands—( cheers . ) Mr . Dyott , after some other excellent observations , resumed his seat amid general acclamation .

      Mr . Henry Clark said , as an Irishman and a Roman Catholia , he could not allow that vote of thanks to pass without giving expression to his most cordial approval of it . He had read the defence of the Irish Catholic Clergy , in the Northern Star , and he must say that it was most admirably written , and so true that he thought for a time that the Rev .. Mr . Hill could not have known so much about the character and Christian practices of the Irish Catholic Clergy , unloss he had nccompaiiied them on some of their nocturnal visitations to the bed of sickness and poverty .

      Mr . Fowler said that he was brought up m what was called conservative principles , and was represented by some vile contemptible wretches , wh o did not scruple at asserting What they knew to bo false ^ -that he was an Orangeman . Ho never was an Orangeman . He never was a regularly enrolled member of any political society , . till he joined the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . He was a convert to their principles ; and if any thing was wanting to confirm him in them it was amply made up by the liberal and enlightened sentiments wliich

      he heard there that day . It may be said with groat justice that the majority of those present were Roman Catholics , and delighted him exceedingly to see how cordially 'they all concurred in this vote , of thanks to a member of his , Mr * Fabler ' s , oomzaunion , a Protestant Clergyman . Ho was a freeman of . the city , and he would do all in his power to get all his protestant friends to join the As 6 ociation , p , nd to pledge themselves never to vote for any candidate for Dublin , who would not give the pledge to opp&Be any ministry but one that would support the Chartor ( hear , hear . )

      Mr . Woodward eaid that he highly approved of the vote of thanks ; to the Rev . Mr . Hill , and that he was delighted with the liberal speeches which he heard from the mover-and seconder of the resolution . He ( "Mr . Woodward ) was not a Catholic , bat he was as atrenuoiiBly opposed to a paid church establishment aa any Catholic in Ireland . In fact , the Catholics have spoiled the Protestant clergy by paying them , and thus rendering them proud and independent of their , own flocks . What does the rector of this parish care about him ( Mr » Woodward ) , or about any other Protestant in the parish , bo long as he can rely upon au- act df Parliament to compel the

      Catholics to pay him £ 500 a-year . If they did not pay him , he should come to him ( Mr . Woodward ) for his mite , and thus be forced , From necessity , to look after hia spiritual wants . The Rev . Mr . Hill is the advocate of the voluntary syBtem of suDporting the clergy . He ( Mr . Wood ward ) fully" agreed with him , and , if it were for nothing else , he wouVd thank him for that . Several other members spoke eloquently in support of the resolution , after which it waa put from the chair , and carried unanimously . The usual thanks vtete given to the chairman , after which the meeting adjournH till Sunday next } at eix o ' clock , p . m .
