      PROGRESS OF THE MONSTER TRIAL . On Friday last the Attorney-General " moved" tbe Court to fix upon Honday , December 11 th for the commencement-of the trial ; and •• that ' thesaid lltfa of i > ecemter , sni the following days , up to and inelnding the lOih day of January , should , for the purpose of men teal , be deemed and taken to be a part of the 3 I ! chaelinas Term . " The motion was opposed by Mr . Henn on the part of tbe Traversera ; on the ground , first , -Quit it -wonld be impo- sifele , in the interim between and the period named by thB Attorney-General , to prepare the ecfence to the monster * indictment ; and secondly , became the Jnry list -was at the present time undergoing revision , and wonld not be completed by the 11 th of December . It "was notorious that the present Jury List was Tery defective ; and if a trial ¦ was had by a jary chosen from it , the public would entertain the idea that all -was not fait : fox these

      reasons he applied that the 1 st tif February should be fixed for the commencement of the trial . Tte Attorney-General replied , giving bis reasons at great length , for Mb ch&rgina upon the defendants a desire to procrastinate and dilay . He , however , consented to postpone the trial till the * 15 th ol January ; for by that time the new jnry list -would be perfected . The Court , in "whose discretion the matter lay , acceed ^ d to the cffer of the Attorney-General , and fixed Monday , January loth , as the first day of trial . In the course » f thB "Judgment" as delivered by 'Chief Justice Pennefather * he took occasion to say , that the affidavit upon ¦ which 3 Ir . Henn a s application for a tlfcferring of the trial till Feb . 1 st -was founded , did not set forth that thB -witnesses for the defence -were ont of "tbe country , or tha » any peculiar circumstances existed ¦ with refereecs to them that called for delay . As soon as the " Judgment" was eoadoded ,

      Mr . Bteele rose and said—I most respectfully beg permission to mate a single observation to the court . Chief Justice—The judgment of Jhe conrt has been given , and your time for speaking is past Hi . Sieele—I have but one observation to make , my lord . Chief Justice—I fear ttb cannot hear you 3 tlr . Steele . Mr . Steele—My Xord , I hope I will have the same magnificent jnstice froKi you that I had from you ? illustrious brother when I was tried before him . My

      lords , I feel it right to rise lest my mlence on any particular point if 1 were to be silent , should be construed by yonr Lordships into an acquiescence . The lord Chief Justice , in Ms judgment , BtatedJthat all the witnesses were xeiident in Ireland . Now , I pray leave most respectfully t-, state that in this his . Lordship is under & misconception . The only witness resident in Ireland whom I intend to examine when defending myself in this eonrfc , is Lord Plnn ^ t , waom I with £ Teat pain draw from his retirement £ r , ery other " « it--nwa whom I int £ n < i to examine is resident in London .

      Chief Jushce—The observations which I made use of were founded on the affidavits that have been laid before the court , in which it is not alleged that any of the witnesses are out of the country . The Attorney-General said it was necessary pro forma thst the cfficer in taking down the order should have the parties present ; as strictly speaking , they had no attorneys ia c * irrt . " Mr . Pigot said to facilitate matters the attorneys Would -accept the orders . 3 Ir . Bourne said there was yet no appearance for the parties by attorney . 3 Ir . Mahony said they would appear at once . The Attorney-Cteneral said ii was necessary that the order should be msoe in the presence cf the parties . There could be no d ^ ficnlty in the parties attending in the course of that day ox the next day .

      Sit . PigOt objected to the annoyance of bringing the defendants down to court for so unnecessary a msitex . 2 &J , SrewsiET said if the parties "were not present » hen the order wan taken down they could bring an ¦ action against the cfficer . 2 dr . Gaxtlan said he appeared for Mr . Daffy . Mr . Mahony Bald he appeared for Mr . John O'Con-2 di . Forde said he appeared for Mr . O'Connell i and three of the other -defendants . D / . Gray , Mr . Steele , and the Rev . Mr . Tyrrell , were then present in eocrt * The appearances " were then taken down , and the matter dropped . ' . !

      THE P 2 O 5 ECrTIO > . \ S . The Duhiin Mcrdlor , of Monday , contains an able review of the whole proceedings , winch we give entire , as it win enable fiie reader to comprehend a J that has hitherto been done •;—The first acl of this great drama being now brought to a dose , it may not be uninteresting to give a resume of all the proceedings that have hitherto taken place . In their progress , we have endeavoured to afford as accurate knowledge as we could glean of the various movements . an& , in connexion with them , of the practice ef the Court ; and we believe our readers-have not ieen misinformed by onr unprofessional learning . As every matter , however slight , connected with these important prosecutions , is of interest ; and though much of what we have to say is only ihe repetition of what we have said before , yet a general-rehearsal of the entile course of attack and defence will not be "without iU share of interest

      Tie course adopted by the Crown has been relied on as one of extreme fairness , and calcnlated to open a lair defence to the Traversers—first , by giving them a chance of having the Bills ignored by the G and Jury ; and , secondly , in yielding to the case made by Mr . ~ TTfm for additional time , until the new Special Panel shall come into operation . The Attorney-General , it is said , might have proceeded by an Ea .-OJicio . True , he might—bnt that is a process . which , unless

      in very extreme cases , can never again be rescrted to . ; It is both unjust and tyrannical—the instrument of : despotic power- —once active enough , when public opinion was not so infla * ntia ] as at present , and oppression pursued its sanguinary course without . interruption but no longer a safs or practicable proceeding . In the Report of the Commissioners of Criminal Law it is ¦ unsDaringly condemned , and its abolition suggested . He wonld be a bold Attorney-General who , in the face of such an authority , would now resort to such a vindictive process . *

      With regard to the other head of " fasrness , " mnctx of what we have observed on the first will apply sU-a to this . It -would be an eternal seandal to the administration of justice if the Attorney-General wera to force on a trial pendini ? the revision of the Jury Lists . Had he done so , there could be only one opinion formed of his conduct , that—per fas aul nefas—he must have a conviction . What fair cretence could lie in the mouth of the- Go-Terninent to accelerate the trial , when , in less than one

      month after the period origiriUy fixed , the accused trould have had the advantage of a tribunal impartially constituted , instead ol one in which the chance * of conviction wonld be as twenty to one in favour of the Crown ! It is well , however , not to forget that Mr . Smith might have forctd the trial : for reasons are always resdy to so acute a lawyer i and we-cancot be bo ungenerous as to fleny him the merit of being irjfctanced iy honourable motives in jieiding to the demand . Certain it is that his conduct in this particular instance Is worthy of approbation . Having disposed of the Attorney- General ' s claims to a fairness , " we now proceed to our outline , giving an account of the several proceedings in the order of tfseir

      occurrence . The B lls were sent up to the Grand Jnry on the 2 nd of JTovember , snd on the same day Mr . Smith took his first rtfcp , which did not contribute to his character as an able public officer . He first applied to have the name of " Tyrreir * altered to "Tierntv . " This was resisted by > ir , H&tcheil , on the ground that the Jury had charge of the Bill and that they could not lawfully be called onto produce it or make any alterations , for the record was given in charge to them , and they must either find or reject it as it was . The Court allowed the sub stitution of names . It was matter 6 f surprise that so little attention had been bestowed on the indictment ; and that all classes of Crown Ofiicers , from Mr . Smith to Me . Kemmis , * hoa > d hsve been so blind or negligent as to fnfferso -palpable a

      blunder-Mi . Kemmis had scarcely made tee necessary alteration , when the Attomej-Genersl applied to have the record amended in another particular . One of the Jurors made an " affirmation" instead of an oath , so that in the presenting part of the indictment it became necessary to add die word " afinnation , " otherwise there would be good ground to move in arrest of judgment , it -was just as easy for sn experienced eye to detect this error while the Jury were being jsworn as after and to amend it at once . Yet , although ihe wnoie EUff of the Croxrn were present , it never occurred S > Sa 5 f ? ******* ***** ° ^ a * Sunder was by

      1 of expressing his diseent from ihe finding in open . Court . All the TraverserB appeared , and were then charged with the indictment . The Attorney-General then -moved that the xaaal four day ? ule to plead should run from that -day—a very preposterous demand ; for how could they know what to plead to , ! when they were ignorant of the indictment ? The 1 Court seemed disposed to assent , with the exception j of Judge Parrin , who put a Tery pertinent and aug' ¦ gestive question , wbich . inspired Mr . Whiteside to ; adopt the novel and inconvenient course of insisting ; on the nine readings of the indictment J The Court i w < re then clearly of opinion that the rule should run - ! from the following day ! | While this rule was running , as it is called , the ; Traverssrs' Counsel commenced their system of strategy ) —in our humble opinion , found on just principles . ; They made three successive applications , all which : were on successful : —

      1 st . Inasmuch as the furnished copies were not re- ; gularly certified by the Clerk of the Crown , they de- j manded-the inspection of the record to compare their \ copies . 2 nd . Is&smnck as they were entitled by law to a perfect copy of the record , they demanded a list of the witnesses endorsed thereon . 3 rd . On the same ground they rt quired a copy of the caption , or formal preamble prefixed to the indict- j ment . ! The first contained very little , as they were supplied i with a " copy , " and in law that is presumed to be a correct one . If there was a variance , the only point on which they relied , they would not be prejudiced by the error . As to the second , it is the usual practice in

      England to give a list of the witnesses ; and why a different ; practice should prevail in Ireland one cannot well see . j Besides , by the 56 : b George 111 ., when the witnesses i were sworn in open Court , there was no necessity for a ! list , because they were all well known ; and the Act } of Yictorin did not deprive the traveraers ef that riant , \ as w&b intimated or inferred by Judge Perrin when j giving judgment on the plea . To a copy of the caption , j the traversera , it wonld seem , are always entitled in England ; but with us the " practice of the Court is the j law of- the Court , " and on that dogmatical axiom the application was refused . The rule to plead having expired on the 14 th , the traversers were called on to plead or demur . They ; chose the former , and tendered the celebrated pleas in j abatement For this the Crown officers were wholly !

      unprepared , and Mr . Smith objected to their reception . It was argued the day after , on very narrow aud tech- nical grounds , by the Attorney-General , who should have at once allowed their acceptance . The unfelicitous reply of Mr . Brewster was better for the traversers j than Mr . Henn ' s ablest argument- \ The pleas were received . The Attorney-General j then demurred in law , and required that the travereerB ( ihonld instantlj Join Tho rule to join in demurrer to a plea in abatement is * l » o a four-day inle ; but Mr Smith [ stood on the high horse of prerogative , and insisted , with unconstitutional pertinacity , that th ? Crown should have privileges denied to the common snhj-Cts of the realm ; and that , to speed forward with his prosecution , the ordinary rules of the Court should be set aside . Mr . Moore's just rebuke locked the mouth of ' Mr . Smith . The Court without hesitation granted the fotxr additional days . ,

      On the twentieth the joinder was put in , and the following day fixed for the argunitnt . When first taken . Counsel ior the Traversers had hopes of success ; but on consideration of the question , their couflUency gave way , and it only remained for thtm to fight out the fight as best they might After an able argument i on both sidts , the Court decided ss&inst the plea , ' chit fly on the argument ab incmvtnieiM ; foT if witnesses should be examined in open Court at the City , Commission , then slJ those -who had suffered under j the opposite system were illegally punished . The j jedgmeut of Ju < ige Penin was remaikable for clever-1 ness , and admirable good sense . .

      "When judgment was pronounced , Mr . Smith called on the Travelers to plead forthwith , relying on ihe case of the King v . Sheridan , in which , on a judgment to answer over , thsre was an immediate plea of the general issue . Mr . Whiteside and Mr . Hatcbell sought another four- ^ ay rule , which lay in the discretion of the Court , and was not of strict right The Court , on the ground that no i > fii ; 3 avit 8 -were made to show the necessity of complying with the demand , negatived the claim . The Traversers then severally appeared , and pleas of " Not Gniity" were entered by the Clerk of the Crown . The Attorney-General then stated that notices should be served at once on tbe Traverses , to the < frVct that on Friday evening he would move for a Trial at Bar , and s < 3 =. y certain therefore . Tbe day mentioned in tb . o notice was the 11 th of December . On Friday last he

      moved accordingly , -when Mr . Henn vat \ faim With affidavits setting forth such powerful grounds for further time , that to resist the principle of his application was impossible ; nor was th « demand of tbe Traversers unreasonable , to extend tbe time to the let of Fel > .. considering the vast number cf meetings , speeches , resolutions , letters to be pnt in evidence by the Crown , and which it will take a lengthened preparation to meet Se early a day as the 11 th of December was ont of the question—it would be pressing for a conviction at the expense of jn « t 5 ce . Wbat Government , or the tfficer of whst Government , would insist , without irremediable damage o * character , or disregard of common justice , on trying the Traversers with the present jury liet ? It might be done , but eui bono f Wunld it strengthen the Administration , or inspire the people with a confidence in the laws ?

      In another point of view the postponement was also most desirable . It is well that parties should come to . > the investigation of this all-important sulj : ct with minds purged of that acidity which tbe proceedings of the last three weeks was calculated to create . The Attorney-General will have time to reflect : and time , we iope , will act as the corrector of that infirmity of temper to which he has too often yielded . IT he do not ¦ observe more calmness and evenness of demeanour—' if he does not keep down that fretfulness and irritability which are incompatible with the gravity and authority with which these solemn causes should fee conducted , it were well for his character that he bad never under- i taken them . He relies strongly on his duty to tht ; Crown . Let him do that du > y by legitimate means ;! but let him not transgress it—of this lhe * e is the more danzer . i

      The Attorney-General has said , perhaps with exaggeration , that the history of tke world does not contain a more momentous record than these trials will farnisb . " We cannot understand the allusion . We conld name several trials at least as momentous in their consequences , which have not challenged the records of tbe world . But at least they wili be sufficiently interesting and important to fix the attention of Europe on their progress . Crown subpeenas will be served on Sir Robert Peel , Lord Stanley , the Duke of Wellington , and Sir JameB Graham . In addition to the foregoing , on Saturday last another application was made to the Court ef Qaeen - s Bench for a list of the witnesses endorsed on the Indictment This application , though very ably sustained on tbe part of the Traveraers by Mes&rs .

      respect to which it was so eminently entitled .

      ; The Queen v . 0 Connell and others . 23 , William-street , Dublin , 4 th Nov ., 1843 . De £ b axd Rev . Sir—From the course adopted bj the Crown Solicitor in this case yesterday , I conclude that he intends to prove acts and speeches at vaxions meetings held during the summer , and at which Jlr . O'Connell attended , indepen . iy of Mullaghmast and Clifden ; some of ihe croRn witnesses in attendance upon ihe £ rand jary came from jour district , and I therefore wish , to know whether or not we could get one or two respectable , intelligent , and faith-worthy witnesses , to depose to the peaceable character of the meeting held at Mallow , and to contradict any evidence which ma ; be given , that the parties attending at that meeting proceeded there in military or menacing array . It would be extremely useful if we could negative this charge by

      respectable witnesses who are not Repealer ? , and who will prove that the procession was of the ordinary character , and tended to preserve peace and order a * the meeting ; and that ihey did net apprehend danger to themselves or to the comrannity from the meeting in question , or from the agitation generally .

      national habit and for a length of time ; and if eo ( in yoar district ) the witnesses we select should be those who , in truth and in good faith to the country , feel themselves ( as 1 would do ) bound to give evidence to that effect I witnessed several of thoso processions in Limerick . In April last I saw one in honour of the Rev . Mr . Mathew , and on another occasion I saw the trades in procession attend the chairing of the city members , and at other times they met Mr . O'Connell , &c . ; and these processions might as well be called military array as the procession to and from the meeting held at Mallow , and now complained of .

      As to the order in which men on horseback appeared , I should like to have some details . I am told they did not attempt to move in military array , but that their order was for the protection of those who walked , and to prevent confusion from their numbers ; and that by that arrangement the people mounted on horseback , from each district , did no more than fall into order as they met their companions , and thus proceeded to the meeting behind Mr . O'CoDnell'B carriage . It is very desirable , after you consider these suggestions , that I should know as Boon as possible the names , residence , station , and character of the witnesses you consider eligible , accompanied by a distinct statement of the evidence which each shall be prepared to give on the trials .

      I am , dear and reverend sir . Your faithful , humble servant , Piebce Mahont . Rev . Dr . Collins , P . P . of Maltow . In reference to this letter , the Times of Monday has the following : — "One consequence springing from this procrastination of the trial must be hailed as highly profitable to Mr . Pierce Mahouy , if we may judge by a letter Of that Strenuous personage . ** The learned attorney will now be enabled to ' Select , ' and sift , and sort , his witnesses from all counties of the kingdom , such as may be qualified

      to prove certain things ; as , for instance—1 st , that the meeting at Mallow was quite a * peaceable assemblage , and thai the parties attending it did ' not march thither in military array ; ' secondly , to give an opinion , as * he ( Mr . Mahony ) ivauld do' ' that the Repeal agitation , though inconvenient and misunderstood by many , would not lead to any evil result ; ' thirdly , to bring into notice ' all the passages in Mr . O'Conncll ' s speeches urging peace ;' fourthly , Io prove , * ashe , Mr . Mahony , would do , )' that the habit of marchiDg by trades , temperance bands , &c , 'has almost become a national' ( instead of an insurrectionary ) * hubii . '

      " Now , we do not at all blame Mr . Mahony for trying , by all the mosi ingenious methods m hia power , to got up evidenco of ihe abovo exculpatory stamp on behalf of hia accused clients . Testimony to that extent , at least , must doubtless be absolutely indispensable to persons in the predicament of Mr . O'Connell ; but , whether sucn evidence may be most easily procurable from parties who have witnessed , or from those who have not witnessed , the processions and proceedings of Mr . Daniel O'Coimell , and

      his repealing fraternity , it is not for us to divine . Tflere will probably be no inconsiderable amount of swagger kept up by the Repeal faction and its organs out , of doors , until the moment when a verdict of guilty shall have made bullying no longer available , or au acquittal rendered it no longer needful . Should that verdict be agaiust the traversera , it may perhaps depend upon the species or degree of punishment awarded , whether hopeless despondency or fearless desperation is to be the result among the Romish democracy .

      FHEACUltEN IN IRELAND . A paragraph under the above head , which appears in the last number of the Fermanagh Reporter , announces a piece of intelligence bordering rather more on romance than reality . It runs as follows : — " The persons who attended the late Repeal Meetings throughout Ireland , in the chancttr of Frouch emissaries , and who created no little fear amongst the timid , and do liltie boasting amongst the revolutionisis , were neither more nor less than officers of the London police , sent over to Ireland for the purpose of watching the proceedings , and noting the

      seditious expressions of the leaders of the movement . They were all ( 40 m number ) men of first rate abilities , well acquainted with ( he continental languages and countries , and in every way qualified to pass for what they seemed to be—the delegates from the discontented part of tho French nation , which ym looks forward to the restoration of ilenry V . It is said lhat those p , <; n : lemen cm prove certain offers from the Repealers , which will substantiato the assertion of the Auomey General , that he would prove tho existence of a wicked and dangerous conspiracy .

The Inspector of Police and the Government Reporter were present . Mr . O ' Connell read a letter from James Alexander Boyd , Esq ., of Drumguir , county Tjrone , a Presbyterian gentleman of high standing , and proposed bis admission as a member of the association . He ( Mr . O'C . ) felt at once that on every rational Presbyterian mind the glorious declaration of the Catholic hierarchy of Ireland , that they would not accept a state provision , would make its due impression—( bear , bear ) . Wbat became now of the paltry excuse that was made by some persons

      for not joining the association—that , forsooth , they feared Catholic ascendancy ? Why , the hierarchy had declared that they would not have ascendancy at allthey had refused the material ; for ascendancy was good for nothing if there be : not pounds , shillings , and pence in it —( laughter ) . Tho admission of Mr . Boy d was earned unanimously . : Mr . O'CoNNEtr , read a letter from Youngatown , Toronto , Canada , remitting £ 22 10 s ; also a letter from Garone , Dualla , enclosing £ 24 10 s . He also proposed the admission of the Rev .

      Toe admission of ihe Htv . Gentleman was carried by acclamation . Mr . O'Consell next read a letter from the Rev . Mr . Giles , a Baptist clergyman in Leeds , expressive of tbe delight felt by the Complete Suffrage Society of Laed 3 at tbe manner in which the Catholic Hierarchy bad rejected the state provision . It appeared , said Mr . O'ConneH , that the Government intended to prosecute the Corn Law League after they had succeeded in convicting the Repealers—( laughter ) . The Association rejoiced that the Complete Suffrage Society should join them at a moment lite tbe present He ( Mr . O'ConneH ) begged to express the gratitude of tbe Association , and of all the wise and the good throughout Ireland , to Mr . Giles , and to the men who authorised him to write that very gratifying communication—( bear , hear ) . ¦

      The Rev . Mr . O'Mallet proceeded to addresa the meeting . He said be joined the Association as a Federalist—tbe principle of Federalism was not in good repute in thai Association , because it was supposed to be a compromise of tho agitation for a complete national legislative independsuce—( bear , hear)—but that appeared to him a total misconception of the matter . He would maintain that Federalism , properly understood and properly applied , so far from being a compromise of what they sought to attain , secured to them every advantage ; besides it had the additional advantage , that it afforded a ground for all the tru 9-hfcarted lovers of their country to meet together for the common weal of their common country .

      DANIEL'S NEW CRUTCH . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NOltTllERiN STAR . Sin . —Daniel has long rented on crutches ; and since his tergiversation has vande bis iamenesa more evident , every quack , who has an hankering after a little ** lint , " flies to his support , not from any wioh to save bis neck , but from the fear that should he cease to hobble about , the " fleecing system" might fall into th 6 same grave . Leeds hus quacks ; and L " . eda has furnished him with a crutch , for which he appears very grateful . But , Sir , Daniel may not know the establishment where his prop baa been manufactured ; er , I believe , he who has been bo iiuch accustomed to behold " monster meetings , " would have cast the slender support into the fire as an insult to him and the Irish people .

      However , as the Stur shines in Ireland ; and as , I apprehend D . iniel gnzis- upon it , —be having taken Mr . O'Connor ' s advice , by denoancing'bonflres , &c , —I will , with your permission , tell him that the " Complete " Society in Lee ^ s is less than the ate » m whi ch dances in the sun-beam . As a " Society" it is a nonentity . A few struggling lost sheep sometimes get panned up in a small room in the Black Boy passage ; and . in secret conclave , make a bleating , which they dub" resolutions " of the Society , and whieh they Send forth to the world with all the pomp and ceremony of an Imperial Parliament . In Leeds , the place wherein they do their mighty deeds , and from whence their sympathy for Ireland and admiration of the Catholic hieracby flowa , they are comparatively unknown ; and none aiketh " where are they ?"

      1 hope , Sir , that Daniel will not be deluded by such artifices , and made a mere tool to puff perfect ii . significance into notoriety : for all woo Snow how matters really stand must laugh at the credulity of the " Liberator" and at the presumption of the Would-be ' a , but are not .

      FRAN CB . —Tho Moniteur of Monday , which with the ot her Paris journals of that date , W « i hatVQ received by our ordinary express , publishes the following , ordinance : —' '" The Chamber of Peors and the Chamber of Deputies are hereby convoked for the 27 ih of Dec . 1843 .

When the displeasure , amounting to rage , with which the Emperor Nicholas has received this book shall be taken into consideration , " says our Paris letter , " a more striking or

      intolerable defiance could not have been offered to him by France than 19 conveyed in the announcement of the Moniteur , that King Louis Philippe has ordered for ; all his librarios copies of a work which deals so severely with Russia , and which the Emperor and the whole Russian nation have declared to be false , from the beginning to the end . This affront will appear tho moTO obvious and intentional , when it shall be borne in mind that the Marquis de Custine , an avowed legitimatist , is looked upou as a personal enemy of the King . " An impression is general here that the French and British Governmeut are perfectly in accord , and determined to act together in respect of Russian intrigue and Russian ambition .

      TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND . Fellow Countrymen . —Attend to me . Attenji to me earnestly , and with that perfect reliance on my advice which yon have so often exhibited . You have never had occasion to regret taking my advice . , -, * ., Before I proceed on tbe present occasion , I feel it my duty—a most pleasi . g duty—to return you thanks for the complete tranquillity that prevails . It delights me , and it delights all your friends , to see tbe perfect traDquilli'y and submission to the law that pervades the country . Yotir enemies are anxious that you should disturb the peace ; that you should be guilty of outrage , and violence , and crime . Thank heaven , you are determined that nothing shall provoke you to any species of riot , or tumult , or violence . How I thank you from tbe bottom of my heart foi that determination !

      There are , however , two topics on which I feel it my duty to address you , and to which 1 anxiously entreat you earnest attention . The firEt of these relates to Ribbonism . I tell you emphatically , that Ribbonism is the mest fdolisb , as -well aa the most vicious combination that evfet vts £ formed . There is nothing so hateful and ( 16-testable in Jreland as Kibbomsm . It is as silly as it is wicked . ' I : tends to encourage drinking in low and unticensec' public bouses ; and in fact , it is aet on foet , and kept up , principally for the benefit of persons who do not deserve to be publicans , and who , in general , do actually sell liquor without license .

      I am Bute that the respectable publicans all ( with me ) discourage it . I know they do in Dubl n and in many other places ; and 1 believe in ml . No matter whether it be connected with liquor or not , ic is a vicious , ciucl , a foolish , a OrifUesB , and absurd confederacy . It naver did any good , and it nevei cau do any good . It causeB assaults , and riots , and ruffianly beatings , -without being productive of any one uiivantage . I hate it from my inmost soul . No man who is known to be a Ribbonuian shall ever be n ( 4 milted to be a Repealer' If the Repeal Wardens do not suppress Ilibtromsm in their neighbourhoods , their names ahall be Struck out t > f the Rspeal Association altogether I . '

      1 bear "with the deepest regret , that m the county Cavan another set of Ribbonmen , calling themselves " Billy SmithB , " or some such foolish name , have lately made their appearance . They are worse , if posaible , than the former Kibbonuien . No man that is known to have anything to do with the " Biily Smiths ' shall ever be admitted as a Repealer ! I conjure—I entreat—and I wish I could command , every honest man who knows of the existence of "Billy Smiths" and Ribbonmen to denounce them at once to the magistrates . At all events , they will soon be be trayed by their own companions and instigators ; and wnen they ceme to be imprisoned and fined or transported , they will then bitterly regret not having taken my affectionate and anxious advice !

      I most respectfully solicit the Catholic Clergy to announce these my sentiments in every locality in which there may possibly exist Ribbonmen or " Billy SmitflS . " I , in like manner , solicit them to add to my advice the weight of their veneration counsel and authority . There is another topic upon which I wiab to address the people , and to offer them my earnest advise . It relates to a practice now beginning to grow up , of lighting bonfires on one frivo . 'oas pretence or anothei . It is a foolish and dangerous cewtom ; it can do no good , and may do & great deal of harm even accidentally . Let there not be any repetition of that meat absurd and senseless practice . This ia * iy advice—will you let me say it is my command ?

      ^ In Ulster particularly it ought to be avoided . lam told that jo » e of the Orangemen v here consider it aa an Insult—that ia a decisive reason wv » 7 it ahonld never be repeated . No honest Repealer wouVd inaalt any man Every honest Repealer would concilia * . « all men of all parties 1 ! I > et there be nothing more . beard of these bonfires inTJlater , ot in any p&tt of Ireland . I cannot conclude -without again offering . to yon voy most cordial thanks for the universal peace end quiet tnat prevails . Let erery man in every part of . Ireland be tranquil and quiet , and conduct , himself peaceably and loyally . Let him totally avoid any riot , tumult , or violence . Whatever may be the event of the pending trials , let every man stay at home in quiet , and be not tempted by any body to any species of breach of tbe peace . Every man who is guilty of the slightest breach of the peace is aa enemy ot miss and . of Ireland ,
