      ( From out own Correspondent . J li-irarairanged thai Mr . O'Connor should ad-1 ^ 3 -the Chartists of Frome -on Tuesday night last , afui ie i » d attended the Bath tea party ,-that was ^ j ^ iise same evening . jisbib is fourteenmiles distaai from Bath , and jj a uad is Tery billy . About a quarter to sine , jjt O'Connor and Mi . Roberts arrived , and imme-^ jj ^ Ij proceeded io lie warehouse of a genfleman , wio had kindly # ren it for the purpose of ths jjjaetias 5 the Ciiartists hating been disappointed in fa&x expectations of being allowed , the use of some of the pnblie bnHdixes er chapels .

      Immediately upon Mr . O'Connor ' s srriTal , a tfeabiBaB yt&s appointed , who , after a Tery few observations , introduced Mr . O'Connor to the meeting Hr , O'Connor had not spoken more than two ninnies , -when the centre-beam of the ware-Toom gave -way , -mfliont a moment's notice , and lhe dense mas at each side "were precipitated headforemost into the underneath floor mixed together in tme common heap in the centre , "with the broken beams and flooring - over some , and under others , Koi a bit of the floor remained standing , the whole baring £ Tsen -iray from the vnJH on either side . The crash oJ the large beam was terrible , bnt was soon lostin ihe piteous moans and gro&nB of the sufferers .

      "We regret to say that a fine yonng ¦ woman samed Mary Gabble , had her leg broken ; while many received severe contusions , sprains , and fractures 5 and also to add that Mr . Feargus O'Connor received a Tery serious wonndon the right leg aud hip , the leg "being cut along the calf from under the knfB as far as ibe ancle bone inside , and Jnuch braised tJntade . Mr . Roberts , -who stood near the -window and npcn a spot that remained almost the last , had a Tery narrow escape ol being precipitated from the window to the road , in his endeavour to aToid the general crash . Both gentlemen , a ? weD as many others , lost tbeir hats ; and it ¦ was not nntil the ruins -were moved , that Mr . O'Connor ' s great coat was fonnd .

      The tareamstasce- has canned more excitement in Frome than we remember to hare existed npon any j > rt ° nons occasion , in consequence of the masters and liberal Dissenters having refused the Caanista the use of any « f their baildings , for the purpose of their own meetings , irhile those mouthing Liberals , not a month since , oatstripp ? d the most -rio )* nt Cfcsrrissin -violence , when their aid ttsb courted by Obe Leagaera and Dissenters for the purpose of Teanfing the edncational ehmses in the Factory BIIL Tha Cisrtasts offered fifty shillings , or any price in fact , for a place to meet in , but were disappointed , baring received Sat and impertinent refusals from the League and the Dissenters . There is no tk > nbtiha . t the discovert ,-and the calamity which

      ¦ was a consequence , © r the ilKbprality of tne middle classes , will hare a contrary efect tfrthat which by ihe exercise of their petty power they had anticipated . The people "witnessed the sneers and jeers of their liberal friends npon the announcement of the rumoHT that ran through the town , like lightning , that Feargus O'Connor was tilled . Mr . O'Connor , however , baring learned the trne cause of fiie disaster from the working men , assured them the misfortune should not prove a triumph to faction ; for that he would return on Monday next to Jrome , and bold an outdoor meeting upon firm rronnd which wonld not give way . This

      annonncemens was received with lond cheers , and the Committee iisrgettiBg the "past danger , in the anticipated Tenan of Mr . O'Connor , set to work immediately Jo make arrangements for giving effect to the meeting of Monday next , -which is to take place at six o ' clock in the evening . The Liberals have already received a taste of that retribution which the Chsrflst body have resolved npon taking . Tbey have spent a a p ?

      IRISH DISTURBANCES . — IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE . { From { he Freeman ' s Journal . ) Dnblin , Jaly 10 th , 1843 . My Lobd , —At the present crisis I deem it the bounden duty of every lover of the peace , happiness , and prosperity of their country , to furnish those who- have the power to make laws wkh any facts which they may consider essential , lo tbe end that those laws may be as jast and as equitable as human wisdom can devise . " It appears , by the published report of the debate on the Irish Arms' Bill , that your Lordship has stated— " 1 st . That mnrders havebeen committed in Ireland with greater impunity than in any other country in the world .

      w 2 odly . That there is more difficulty in bringing the guilty parties in Ireland to justice than there is in any otheT country in the world . ** 3 rdly . Thai the crime of robbery of fire arms is nnknown in England or in any other country except Ireland . And with a view to remedy those acknowledged evils you have introduced the Irish Arms ' BilL " Now , my Lord , I know a good deal about Ireland . I have been frequently through nearly every part of it . ; and although I am aware that it may , for a time , make me very unpopular , yet , justice—strict jostlce , demands that I should not enly confirm yonr Lordship ' s statement , but must add that I have always looked npon the meddling of the Irish Catholic prieot hood in matters , I may say , of a strictly temporal natare , to have been exceedingly mischievous , though I believe well-intentioned .

      The opposition which the Irish Arms Bill has " received , and is still iikely to receive , in its progress through the House of Commons , wD ] afford me * u £ Bcient * time to supply your Lordship with some important facts -which von have omitted , and which I hope you will lay before Parliament . J have the honour to be , my Lord , Your Lordship ' s most obedient servant , Patejck O'Higgins . To the Right Honourable Lord Eiiot , Bouse of Commons , London . Irish Office , JjiIj 12 , 1843 . Sib—I have to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of your communication of the 10 th inst . I am . Sir , Your obedient servant . Eliot . Patrick O'Hijrgins , Efo ., Dublin .

      Mt Loed—I have been duly honoured by your lordship's letter acknowledging the receipt of my communication of tbe 10 th inst . I shall sow , in fnifiiiaent of the promise which I made in that communication , supply yosr Lordship with a few important facts which yon omitted to state when yon brought forward the Jri-h Arzns ' Bill in ihe House of Commons . In doing so 1 shall yake tbe liberty to say that in my bnmble opinion it is the imperative dnly of any one who may occupy the high and onerous position which your Lordship occupies , armed ex-ojiao with the power to make laws , to have those law ? cased upon troth , upon justice , and apon equity ; to the end that the whole community , that is to say , the well disposed , may

      giimn therr jasnee , obey them cheerfully , and respect and hononr the authors of tkem . Bai , my Lord , a willing obedience to tbe laws or respect for lawmakers cannot be expected , from a people while they are nnder the mpression ibat those laws ate founded upon a partial .-tatement of a case , in order to jastify their enactment . The fullest , mo > t rigid , and impartial inquiry should be instituted prior to the introduction of a bill such as ihe Arms' Bill . And I hope that I shall convince your Lordship that a Parfiajnentary iigniry similar to that to which I have partially slludtd is absolutely necessary as a matter of common justice , as a preliminary step io tbe introduction of tbe Irish Arms' Bill , or of any other bill of a similar tendency .

      My Lord , yon bsve stated , and your Lordchip's statement has gone far and wido : — ** 1 st . That the crime of robbery of fire arms is unknown in England , or in any other conmry except in Ireland , ** " 2 nd . That there are more mnToers committed in Ireland , and with # r < ater impunity , than in an ^ other country in tbe world . a 3 rd . That there is more difficulty in bringing the guilty parties in Ireland to jastice than there is in any other conutry . "

      Now , my Lord , I believe these three propositions to be circumstantially trne . But your Lordship omitted altogether to s-tate the ranse of those d igraceful murders ; who vtere the panics murdered , and by whom , and nnder what pretence . Surely , my Lord . a grtat statesman , undertaking to legislate f ? r nine millions of ptople , :-hould have stated the whole casp , and fhould not have relied npon vague , loose , and indefinite accusation against a whole nation , as a justification of a harsh , partial , and aroitrary law .

      1 st . Wiih respect to the crime of robbery of firearms in Ireland—a crime which your Lordship says , and says truly , is unknown in England or any other country—it is right to trace tbe cause to the fountain head . Why , then , is this crime unknown in England ? Because a cherished minority of the people of England are soi empowered by penal statates to sally forth and rob tbe hated , persecuted , and cahmmiaied majority of their fire-arms . If such' -were tbe case in England , which is but too true with respect to Ireland , tbo ^ e who undit ihe colour of law were robbed cf their fire-aTm 3 and made the galley tlav * -s of the minority , would endeavour to get their fire-arms back again , same as they do in Ireland , wholly regardless wLethtr any Noble Lord would call it robbery or not .

      There was an act paseed in 1819 , entitled , " The Search for Arms Bili . " This bill was brought into Parliament by tbe la ; e Lord CasUerea $ h , wbo cut his throat at Nonb Cray , in Kent , three jews after * wards . I fceneve h was tne last act of Parliament thai empowered the minority to sfize and carry away the fire-arms oi the great majority of the Irish , people . Is it fair or just to charge with robbery ot fire-arms those who make a feeble iffort occasionally to get thtir own prop * rty back again There is a par . -on of the established church , who is still livirg in tbe county Armagh , who was a captain of a yeomanry corps as well as a parson , and

      who , in the exuberance of his lojafty , spent the greater part ol the Sabbatn day crilling and training bis corps , and preparing tbem for " search for arm . ' - " campaigns ; and upon sneh occasions was not nnfrr-queniiy too la'e in cinrch to exchange his military accouirtmeijts beiore tee perioiniaiCD of diriie service , and vrbo was therefore Hnder the necps ^ iiy of throwing his * -urpli < "c over his unformj and tins attired , proctwl to discharge the duties of a minister of peact , npon which occasions his SW © Td need u > peep out irom oncer his surpuce , to iho infinite amusement of tbe nnrigh eons , and the tii : H grace of that church of which be is a minister .

      With bible and vntb bajontt , by turns this bero chore , To Eave the souls cf oraDge Iriends , and cnt down Papist foes . . It is very probable tbal ihi ^ s reverend ^ fntlemaii is one of ibose when : Mr . Waller , of the Times , designated as " surpjiced ruffians . " It wonld occupy too much of your Lordship ' s t ime to tronble you with the pernsal of tbe several statutes empowering and authorising the favoured few t © deprive tbe perrecated many of their firearme in Ireland . But , in order ihat your Lordship may sre those statutes at one view , I beg leavsi 10 refer yon to " Snnlly ' a Penal Law ? , " aad " Howard ' s Popery Cas-s- ' Blactstone fays , " that ; he d . ffercnce between a fretman and a slave if , that the cne is anned and tbe enhcr i ? m-r . " TLo Irish know and feel the full force of ihi ? saying .

      Yocr Lordship ' s s-trond proposition , vrticn involves the third , is , " that there are more nmr-. murders committed in Ireland , and with grcatt-r impunity , than in acy other country in the world , ' Thi 3 proposition , 1 regres to 5 ay , is strictly true . But ycu omitted to state the cause of those murders , the parties guilty of tbem , and who were the vie tims . The remote eacseof those t > arbarons mBrders may , with strict justice , be attributed to bad laws . Permit me to observe , en passant , that I am ore of those wbo bslirve that Protestants are just as pious as Catholic ? , and that they would support their own clergy as the Catholics do , wnhom dipping tbtir hands into their Catholic neighbours' pockets , if the law would permit them to do so . statute law esta

      The parsons of the church by - blished in Ireland , are empowered by numerous statutes to take , by force of arms , by the bayonet and the bullet , the property of their Catholic neighbours , for which they give them no consideration , no value , in return for what they take way , except that of declaring , and Eometimes swearing , that their faith is superstitions , idolatrous , and damnable . When yen stated that there were more murders committed in Ireland than in any other country you were bound , in candour and in justice , to have stated boldly and ftarksslj that the nineteenths ol those murders were committed in the collection of , and resistance to , ihe payment of tiths ; and what makes the case still worse , those instances committed in Jbe presence of ministers of religion , claiming the tithe as a debt due to God Almighty , for the xoD-payment of which , they , God ' s ministers

      on earth , and magistrates too , exercising both the temporal and spiritual power , commanded the police or soldiers , and sometimes both , to shoot down God ' s creatures , for the love of God and a few shillings alleged to be due to him in the shape of tithe . Now , my Lord , " this is true ; and let me ask you is there such cruelty , tyranny , cant , and blasphemy established by law in any other oounfry in the world except iu unhappy Ireland ? There were twenty human beings , God ' s creatures , murdeeed at Skibbereen for a few tpercaes of potatoes which Parson Morritt Raid yras due to God , but which tho poor people refused to dig for fcim ; and for which refusal , and for endeavouring to protect those which they had stored up as their only food for the winter ,

      there were upwards of twenty of them shot dead in one day . Yet Parson Morrirt still livea J At Newionbarry , on the 18 th of Jnne , 1831 , there were fourteen persons brutally and barbarously murdered for a sum of £ 2 6 a ., tithe alleged to have been due to God , by a farmer of the same of Doyle ; but which £ 2 6 s . he refnsed to pay to a Rev . Gentleman of the name of M'CHntock , who assumed to be a man of God a follower of the Apostles , and a teacher of the doctrines of our blessed Redeemer j but who was , in reality , the brother-in-law of Lord Roden , whom you know is nephew to tbe celebrated Bishop of Clogher . Well , Farmer Doyle said that this £ 2 6 s . was not due to God as alleged by Parson M'Clintock , nor due , according to British statute law , till the November following ; whereupon this man of God , this parson M'Clintock , tbe brotherin laWiOfiMd Mx& ^ 3 ltoMj ^ mt ^^ & » J

      * FWoRbt * , Beraca npon someTialf score or Fanner DoyIe * soaWes , impounded them , sent for the police and yeomanry to assist at their Bale by auction . The day of sale arrived ; the police and yeomanry were ander the command of this Christian minister and Captain Graham ; the cattle were brought out of the pound for sale , when some little boys hissed and hooted at the disgraceful and anti'Chrisiian proceedings ; and it is said , a few stones or pebbles were thrown at the police , whereupon they fired , volley after volley , upon ihe crowd going to market , —for this tithe slaughter took place upon the market day at Newtonbarry , —when fourteen persons were shot dead upon the spot , amongst whom wa 3 one Mary Mulrooney whose unborn babe was shot dead as well as herself . Here then was a Christian minister shedding blood for money ! Are these crimes enumerated in your Lordship ' s catalogue ?

      Are crimes so revolting as these known in any Other part of tbe world except in Ireland ? No , no , my Lord , I am sure they are not . Every country on the face of the earth is a stranger to such scenes of iniquity . At Carrickshock , on the 14 th of December following , nineteen persons were killed in another tithe affray ; and it was proved that when the unfortunate and hasty Captain Gibbons shot the man wfeo laid his hand upon the bridle of the horse Captain Gibbons was riding merely to ask him a question abont the tithe proctor , against whom all the hostility of the people was directed , the last words he uttered as he fell were—* ' boys , I am gone ; bnt remember Newtownbarry . " Thus , you see , that one massacre lays the foundation of another .

      Is this the system you profess to cure by an Irish Arms' Bill ? At WaUetown six persons were shot . At Moncoin a similar number . In short , from one end of Ireland to the other the people have , under the colour of law , been shot down indiscriminately , for the purpose of maintaining the ministers of a ehnrch which , after all these bloody deeds , asserts that it derives its litle to support direct from Heaven . I shall paas over the burning of the corn of the poor on tbe public roads , when the men of God could not get bidders for it . 1 i-hall pass over the deaths iu prison , the seizure , branding , and starving to death the cattle of the poor , for the honour and glory of God and the comfort of the parson *—tbe seizure and sale of the furniture of my

      own house—the hunting of the people with hound and horn , with horse , foot , and artillery—the writs of rebellion against tithe recusants , by which pauper attorneys amassed large fortunes ; and come at once to the bloodiest clerical tragedy that ever was enacted on the face of the earth , which is that ef Rathcormac , on the 24 : h day of December , 1834 , Christmas eve ! It was here that Parson Ryder , a minister of re-igion and a justice of the peace , commanded the military to . fire npon tbe people who surrounded the Widow By an's stack-yard , to prevent this man of God from forcing the gates to take away tbe corn which she bad secured iu her stackyard and barn . U was here that Parson Ryder commanded the military to shoot the people , and tbty did shoot them . And when the heart-broken widow was kneeling by the dead body of her

      bleeding son , Parson Ryder rode up to her and said—** Widow Ryan , will you ; pay me now ! " Did any thing likethis ever occur in any country in the world except Ireland J Were the parties guilty of these atrocious crimes brought to justice ? No—not one of them ! It is true , then , as your Lordship has stated it , that there is more difficulty in bringing guihy parties to iustice in Ireland than there is in any other country in the world ; and to obviate the difficulty , and aa an all tfBcient remedy , you bring forward an Irish Arms * Bill 1 My Lord , there cannot be a greater proof , or a better one adduced , of the peaceable and forgiving character of the Irish people , than that Parbons Ryder , Hamilton , and Alorritt have not been shot long ago , and that Parson M'Clintock , the brother-in-law or Lord Roden , who , bear in mind , is nephew to the ex-Bishop of Clogher , Jocelyn , died quietly on tits bed .

      Iu my letter of the 10 th instant I mentioned that J had always looked upon ihe meddling of the Irish Catholic priesthood in matters which 1 considered as strictly temporal , to have been , though well intentioned , exceedingly mischievous . I shall now tell you the reason why their conduct appeared to me to have a mischievous tendency- It will be admitted that it is the duty of every good member of society to adopt the most efficient means lo put an end to the shedding of human blood . Now , my lord , when the people were goaded into madness by rack-rent heartless landlords driving them off their estates in thousands , hundreds of whom periehed of want iof which fact there is ample evidence in tbe reports of parliamentary committees on the state of Ireland ) ,

      on the one hand , and ministers of Tehgion slaughlered and plundered the people by wholesale on the other hand , and when it was well known , and is notoriously true , that the maddened , goaded , plundered people , finding that the laws afljrded them no rearess , but , on tbe comrary , oppressed them more and more , and gave additional impunity to their persecutors , had it in contemplation , as a last resource , and as their only hope of pr * serving themselves from utter annihilation , to shoot half a-dozen of bishops and as many titled rack-rent landlords , which would most unquestionably have put a total stop to any further tifusion of blood , aai end to tithe slaughters , and an end to the wholesale depopulation of the country ;—well , what did the priests do

      in the midst of these scenes of desolatiou ? They one and all preached to The people to abstain from all acts of violence in retaliation ! to submit to the will of God ! and actually made them believe that this cruel treatment was infiicted upon them by Di vine Providence as & scourge for their sins , and that 11 was their duty aa Ghrisiians to submit lo it ! thai the Almighty would afford them redress in due time ; but that they should yield implicit obedience to the laws and those who were placed in power to rule over them . The result of this advice was additional persecution and accumulated wrongs . The parsons and the landlords having now nothing to fear from resistance , went on shooting and plundering the people on one hand , and driving them out of

      their holdings to perish x > C want and die in the ditches in hundreds on the other hand ; whereas I am thurouirhly convinced that had tho priests refrained from interfering in the matter at all , the people would have soon redressed their own wrongs ; and although 1 hsvr an instinctive horror of bloodshfd and violence , yet I stould , as a choice , prefer btinjr shot a . oeee to that of being starved to death by hunger . JS'or can 1 for the life of me sse the difference , in moral turpitude , between a parson of the E .-faMished Church shooting a peasant for a few shillings tithe , and a peasant shooting a parson in retaliation ; and considerirg tho rank in society , ihe edncation and profession of the parson , there cannot be a shadow of doubt Dn the mind of any rational man that the balance of suilt is on the tide of the

      parson . Hare you , my Lord , ever heard of any country-in the world , except Ireland alone , where the ministers of a religion uf a very small minority of the people were authorised by statute law to shed blood for money ? Ministers professing Christianity , and at the same rime trampUn ^ j upon the acts of the Apostles , and relying with impunity upon Acts of Parliament 1 Or have you ever heard of any other country , except Ireland , where the priests of the people ' s choice preached resignation and submission

      to such unparalleled tyranny , oppression , and injustice ! Depend upon it , that the Irish Arms' Bill will not be a remedy foT these evils " which cry aloud to heaven for vengeance . " The people will disregard it ; they will see nothing in it bat a perseverance in the old system of arming a privileged few against a whole nation j they will lose all confidence in the laws , and abandon all hopes of redress ; experience will have taught them that , following even the advice of their clergy has had no othtr effect than that of having given additional impunity to their oppressors : and in their evil notions

      of retributive juritico will proceed not to shoot tithe proctors , and agents of rack-rent noi / enwn , but will with hard ropes go to the houses of the authors of their sufferings ,: the bishop' 3 of the established church and the titled fackrenters , and deal with them in their hour of despair as the Warden of Gal way dealt with his only son when he hanged him out ot his window . ¦

      $ Now , my Lord , before you proceed further with that ridiculous farce , the Irish arms'bill , I hope that you will in justice to nay country , in justice to your own character as a statesman , appoint a committee of the House of Commons to inquire into the truth of the several allegations set forth in this letter , with a view to the eoactmsnt of some j-ust , equitable , and salutary law for Ireland .

We are alsd prepared with our mites to aid a General Victim Fund , and will support none other ; for we consider that the man who takes a prominent part in tbe Agitation has no more right or call to be supported than the man wbo does not take a prominent part ; All ought to share alike , without distinction to class or rank . "

      BIPMIKGHAM—At a meeting of the Astonstreet locality , on Monday evening . July 24 , it was re-Bolved , '" That it is the opinion of this meeting , a Conference of Delegates from the Chartista of tbe various towns and localities in the United Kingdom , to ennsi . d < -r and adopt a defln ito plan of general Organ ' s ition , should be holden , on tbe last Monday fit August ; nuci that tbe said Conference should take place in Birmingham , it being moat favourably situated for that purpose . * ' It was also resolved , " That the various plans of Organization which had appeared in the Star should be brourht before a General Meeting of the Members of the locality on Monday evening , July 31 st , at seven o ' clock , that the irishts of the locality may be ascertained , and instructions for a delegate formed" .

      DUBLIN . —The" Irish Universal Suffraee Association met at six o'clock on Sunday last , at No . 14 , North Anne Street , Mr . Simon Tobin in the chair . The following-resolution Was unanimously adopted : —" That having ascertained beyond all doubt or question that the reason why the British Minister abandoned his original threat to embody the English militia regiments , for the purpose of putting down , by force of arms , the Repeal Movement , upon the old Casth reagh system at arming the British people and bringing them into hostile collision with tbe Irish in Ireland , and vice versa , was entirely and exclusively owing to tbe wide-spread influence and Indominohle spirit of Chartism ; that the returns which were made to tbe general order to embody the militia , by the Lieutenants and Deputy Lieutenants

      of Counties , and Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels of tbe Staff of the several militia regiments in England , were to the effect that the great majority of the working classes of . Great Britain were so de « ply embueii wiih Chartist principles , it would be dangerous t ¦¦ enroll , drill , orm , and equip them ; tb-it it was : impossible to raise a regiment in England without having two thirds of tho nien not only'favourable to a Repeal of the Union , but to a severance of the twocouutries , should tbe Irish desire it ; that nearly the whule of the English peasantry , and a vast por ^' on of tho middle classes , including the entire body of Dissenters , are opposed to thf continuance ef a Protestant Chur .-. h Establishment in Ireland , aud anxiously desire its total and immediate abrogation ; that after tbia signal service ta the people

      of Ireland , those . who arrogate to iheraselves the exclusive advocacy of the Repeal of the Union , will be guilty of base ingratitude , unless thoy publicly ack owledge tbe noble , independent , and truly Christian conduct of the British Chartists ; that it is now obvious that tbe uiinister cannot , for any bounty , get Chartists to enlist in a crusade against the liberties of the people of Ireland ; and that , therefore , his only hope to put down the Repeal Movement , ia by getting Irisbnun . ¦ w ho are not Chartist ? , to enlUtfor th . it tyrannical purpose . That we , the members of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , " in public meeting lawfully assembled , do hereby most cordially and heartily ttniler our warmest thanks to ! our British Chartist Brethren for having , by a strict adherence to the true and genuine

      principles of liberty , disappoir . ted theMinisterand savtd the country from the horrors of a civil war ; and we emphatically call upon every honest mnn in Ireland to join us in our grateful thanks to the Chartists of Great Britain . " This resolution was passed amidst the most enthusiastic cheering . A wonderful change in favour of Chartism has takjeu place during the last week in consequence of the publication of a correspondence between Sir . O ^ Higgins and Lord Eliot , although it appears in one papei- only , the Free ? nan ' $ . Journal , n «* other paper having had either tbe courage or the honesty to publish it . That sneaking , beggarly , half republican , toad-eating and sycophantic paper , the Nation , declined th 9 publication of this admirable correspondence ; for this correspondence gave the lie to the Nation , and all other trading politicians who have asserted ever and

      over again that iir . O'Higgina and the Irish UoivetBal Suffrage Association were in the pay of the Tories . They refused to do this act of common justice to a man and an association which they have basely calumniated . Hundreds of pounds r of the public money' have been spent in fruitless efforts to suppress Chartism in Ireland . Even tbe very Catholic Churches have been the depots of bearing false witness against Chartists ; . tne walla of those sacred edifices have been polluted by the false testimony of the Q'Connells , the Steela , the Daunta , tho Rays , the Me'Nailya , the Byrnes , the Frenches , the Hearnes , the Me'Hughs , the Kollys , and others . Nevertheless Chartism is flourishing in Ireland . Nothing haa tended so much to dispel tbe delusion under which tbe citizens of Dublin were labouring , as this recent correspondence with Lord Biiot
