• 3lr Fbiekds, ^S I Usually Address You ...
• 3 lr Fbiekds , ^ s I usually address you upon the most ^ jent afiairs ; and as this is Tuesday , and {^ start for Glasgow to-monw morning , v 0 u will not expect a long letter . I have Lgat p leasure , however , in informing you that jsee the shadow of a great change even in Ae Parliamentary mind of this country . The M inisters and Free Traders , aided by Sir TfoisEKT Prrt , and his party , have manifestl y resolved upon making no concession whatever
fi > the Protectionists ; and the Protectionists now see no prospect or chance of success , except in the enlistment of the working-class jjnd . You know , as well as I do , that parses care not a straw by what policy , means , or stratagem , they can carry out their objects . They will profess loyalty , if patronage is Ijased upon the profession ; and they would adopt Republicanism , if from it they anticipated the preservation of their monopoly . It is nw intention , during my tour , to admit
gvery man , be his politics or his principles vhat they may , to discuss them fairly and im-Dartiallv—as it is only from such discussion ihat the peop le can expect the adoption of the soundest principle . We are now in the fifth month of the eig hteenth Reform Parliament ; and if vou will cast your eyes back over that « eriod , " vouwillnofcbe able to discover that < me of the promises of the Reformers has been realised . And this—if nothing else can—will brie * vou to the conclusion , " that " whatis to be done for the people , must be done by the
Jly Mends , one of my principal objects in making my tour , is the hope of destroying ihat absurd and foolish antagonism which has threatened to weaken our cause , but which , I fcust , will but tend to strengthen it If I required a strong illustration of popular mdinerence , it Is manifesii ^ ltf tni fttet of the Irishman— the only representative of the popular mind of Ireland , having < lied a natural death—or rather , I should 5 ay , an unnatural death — occasioned by the apathy and indifference of those in ¦ which it was inspiring a new life . I have never catered for support for the Northern Star , but I have exerted myself strenuously to support the reflex of the Irish mind—that mind is now in such a state as the mind of no
• country was ever in before—and however the Government may rejoice in the departure of the Irishman , it may rest assured that there is no danger to a system so great as the want of an organ to represent that mind which is opposed to the system . People , like architects , are prepared to bide their time until their materials are prepared ; those materials must be furnished by a newspaper ; and if deprived of those materials the people / may make a hasty and headlong move , which the fair development of their growing strength might have suppressed .
I am sure , from the glowing enthusiasm of the Irish in England and Scotland , reflected in the columns of the Irishman , I anticipated not its death , but the fond . hope that it would have risen to a giant ' s stature . My friends , in conclusion , let me inform you that I am this night going to give notice of my motion for the Charter , on the 18 tb of this month ; and as petitions to the House of
Commons are a mere mockery , I shall not ask you for one : and it is my intention to state the views of the people , and the probable result of longer withholding their rights , io such a manner as will prove to you that neither threat nor opposition shall intimidate me from declaring the certain result of longer withholding irom the people their just rights . Your Faithful and Uncompromising Friend , Feakgus O'Connor .
Borough Of Fixsbuiiy. This Long-Talked O...
BOROUGH OF FIXSBUIIY . This long-talked of meeting , to inquire into the conduct of the representatives of this borough , was held on Tuesday evening , June 4 th , in the spacious racket ground of the Belvidere Tavern , Pentonville . The meeting was called for six o ' clock precisely ; bntat that hour , not more than My persona were present . At seven o ' clock , the number had increased to nearly 300 persons . At this period , It . Southey . Esq ., J . R . Taylor—and one or two more persons , who were said to be the conveners of the nieetin" —quietly proceededto a temporary platform , raised for the occasion , and Robert Southey , Esq ., was called to the chair . The Chairman said that they had been called together to consider a most important question to ererv Englishman , namely , that of then-
representation in the House of Commons . Thismeeting Had emanated from a body which had been formed some years a * o , called the Finsbnry liberal Electoral Association , the principles of which were to impress on the electors the responsibility of the trust placed m their hands , to enforce on them the duty , of exercising it independently of all private motives , but conscientiously , for the benefit of their conntiy ; and to prevent , counteract , and expose all attempts to intimidate or corrupt the electors ; to obtain votebv ballot and short parliaments ; topromote an extension of the suffrage throughout the kingdom , on the principle that each constituency returain-members to parliament , should consist of an equal number of electors in proportion to the number of members to he returned ; to enforce , by all constitutional means , the repeal of the window and income taxes as at present levied ; a TocUion of all the present fiscal laws , and to carry
out the principles of reform in the reduction of tne national expenditure ; and to procure the repeal of that portion of the 27 th clause of the Reform Act which makes the payment of rates and taxes before aeivn day an imperative condition of the fran--cffiV When the matter in question was discussed lv the association , the Rouse of Commons was not attended bv their members , and accordmply resolu-? £ S were passed and sent to them Mr . / akley then addressed a letter tohis constotuents , which thev Ld all seen . Re ( the chairman ) had always tee
supported Mr . Buncombe , and he snouia oe -an nerion to stimulate the electors to get rid of him , ? M been the case in the last two days , he was Sletoattendtohisduties . ^ ^^^ his services might be , if he was no longer able to nerfcnn th ° m painful as it was , it was for teem to SsMerwtS course should be taken , or whether he should be called on to resign . If he was able to attend to his parliamentary duties it would be the highest ingratitude in the electors to call on Mr . Itocombetoresign . With regard to Mr . Wakley although he ( the chairman ) was not personally known to him , he had always watched his conduct , and found that he had attended to the interests of Ms constituents . It was for this meeting to say what course they would pursue .
A pause of some duration now occurred , no one appearing prepared to move any resolution , and some im Atiencewas manifested in the meeting , accompanied by cries of " Are you going to more any resolution ? ., . The Chmbjias at length , amidst peals of laughter , said , unless he was better supported , he would dsclare the meeting dissolved . Mr . M'Phail jumped from the body of the meeting , and said he would propose a resolution . ( Ones of *« 3 fo !"— " be quiet , " cheers , hisses , and contusion . ) Re had felt much annoyance at this meeting being convened to turn out— - Here this gentleman ' s speech was cut short by Mr . i . DtscoiiBE , who sai d he did not think there ever was a nieetins placed in such a dilemma as
this . ( "Hear , " and cheers . ) They had been convened iv certain persons calling themselves electors , not oiie of whom had had the courage to propose a resolution . I" Hear , " cheers , laughter , and confusion . ) There never was a greater humbug than this mectiiur . ( Cheers , and cries of " So . ) ibey said " no" behind him on the platform , but what did thev « av in front ? He had heard one after anothe / sav to each other , " Will you propose a resolution ?" " to which it was replied , ' « Oh , no . you mast . " (« Rear , " andlaughter . ) He hoped some « ae would have the courage to do it . ( Rear , near . ) After considerable confusion , and amidst
Mr . S . R . Tatlob came forward , , treat interruption , which precluded the I ^ W of his making a regular speech , moved a resolution to the effect , " That the meeting hailed with pleatore and satisfaction the return of their me ™""* to their duties , and expressed a hope that their health would enable them to continue to do so , out h" not , appealing to their honour and integrity to resi gn . " ™ Mr . Dicks seconded the resolution , and said that Mr . Wakley , although he could not attend to his Unties in parliament , could attend to getting his fees as coroner . (" No , no . " ) He had the highest Aspect for Mr . Buncombe , but Mr . "Wakley was a fugling . ^ r . Moohe then moved an amendment , to the ^« t" That the meeting deeply lamented the protected illnesses which had deprived them of the

services of their members , and expressed a sincere dope that their restoration to health would enable them to resume their duties , but if not , they would leate it to their own sense of honour as to how long they would retain their seats . " He proposed this amendment simply because the resolution did not contain any expression of considerable regret at the illness which had caused the absence of their members from parliament . The hon . gentleman then at some length enlarged on the services of Messrs Buncombe and Wakley in parliament , and urged that they were entitled to forbearance and indulgence from the electors , and he believed that two years of their services would be worth seven of the services of those who were seekinir to tret into
their places . ( Hear , hear , and great cheering . ) Mr . E . G . Smith seconded the amendment . Mr . Greek urged the great services to the cause of political liberty rendered by Mr . Buncombe . He had in its early days opened the borough of Hertford , and spent mere money in doing so than Mr . Wakley ever got by being coroner . The one had rained his constitution in advocating the cause of the people , while the other had injured his health in getti-g money as coroner . Mr . Wakley was the greatest political counterfeit that ever was imposed on a borough . Mr . Buncombe had spent his fortune
and his health in the cause of reform , and a small minority—( hear , hear )—( and in the name of heaven who was this Reform Association ?) wished to turn him ont . As a Reformer who bad hitherto been a supporter of Mr . Wakley , he-now said that he was not ^ isftgdL with bis- cogdttct , batogihat of Mr . ' -Mr . LEE ' supported the resolution , arguing that it was best calculated in its ' , terms to meet the wishes of the meeting , and urging them to abate contention about trifles , and by " adopting the original resolution snow that the electors of Finsbury had no minor differences , but held together .
Mr . Feabgus 0 Coskob said that if there was one fault be abhorred more than another it was ingratitude . ( Rear , hear . ) For twenty years he had sat in the House of Commons with Mr . Buncombe , and up to that time could any one bring a charge of inconsistency against him ? ( Loud cheers . ) Was the horouoh of Finsbnry then to be guilty of ingratitude * When any one of them had a sick horse or a sick servant , did they work them till they were well ; and would they treat their member worse than they would a beast ? ( Hear , hear . ) He had observed that there were a few geese at the back of the platform , who had hissed when he made his appearance , but he begged to say , that he did not come
there to create a disturbance , but as an elector of ' Finsbnry , toserveau absent friend whohad faithfully served them . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Buncombe had been charged with neglecting his parliamentary duties ; but if Mr . Buncombe had notbeen so continuous an attendant at debates and divisions as formerly , he ( Mr . O'Connor ) was , in a measure , to blame , - as he had earnestly advised Mr . Buncombe not to risk his life by so doing—as he ( Mr . O'Connor ) conceived it much too precious to lose . ( Hear , hear . ) It was impossible that any constituency could find a more perfect , independent , man than Thomas Slingsby Buncombe —( hear , hear )—? nd there were but few courageous independent members in the House of Commons . When the late Baniel
O'Connell was charged with calling the house 058 pickpockets , he had denied it ; but was he ( Mr . O'Connor ) charged with calling them a set of miscreants ; he would not deny it .. He knew the " dodge" for which the meeting had been got up , and he was pleased to find that the " dodgers" would be disappointed . ( Rear , hear . ) He must now leave them , as he was anxious to get back to the House of Commons . He had been there that evening , and taken part in two divisions , and he had given notice te bring forward the whole animal , bristles and all , upon that night fortnight , and- both Buncombe and Wakley would support his motion . What more could they want ? In conclusion , he called on them to stand by those who had
faithfully served then , and not desert them when illness came on them through over-exertion in their cause . Should Mr . Buncombe , from indisposition , be unable to attend the hustings at the next nomination , he pledged himself to appear for his' friend , and bring such a phalanx as should scare his enemies from their base purpose . ( Cheers , and cries of " What about Wakley ? ' ) He was asked to say something about Mr . Wakley . He begged to state , that he had never known that gentleman to give a wrong vote . ( Loud cheers . ) Thanking them for the kind hearing they had given him , he should retire with the conviction that they would come to an unanimous decision , and resolve to treat their representatives as faithfully as they had served them .
( Loud cheers . ) Br . Epps said , a gentleman had observed , that if they bad a horse ill , they would let it remain in the stable until it got well ; truly , but , at'the same time , they would take care to procure another to perform its duty . He thought it of the highest importance that the electors should have members always in their places . He came there to oppose a resolution that he was told was about to be submitted for their consideration , celling on their members immediately to resign , nevertheless , he did not like the idea that members of parliament were to fell electors what they should do ! It was said that the duty ot a member was onerous , to which he replied : —the member sought the labour and cares ot a representative . ( Hear , hear . ) Again ,
that they were unpaid—he replied—they courted the honour . That the labonr was wearisome and dangerous to health—he replied—the distinction was sought , and having obtained it , they were bound in honour to perform its duties . ( Loud cheers . ) They were quite right in holding such a meeting , and the constituent body should take care to preserve to Finsbury the character of being in the foremost rank . He begged of > that meeting to support the amendment submitted by Mr . Moore . He would not say the calling of this meeting : had induced their members to go down to the house last night and do their duty —( laughter)—but he did say , if they wanted their business well done they must look to it . ( Loud cheers . )
Mr . Bemmw said , Mr . Wakley had served the people for thirty years , and he : trusted the good sense of that meeting would prevent any clique from having the opportunity of returning either a Whig or Tory in opposition to either Wakley or Buncombe . ( Loud cheers . ) The Chaibuax , in putting the amendment , deprecated any antagonism . He was indifferent as to whether the resolution or the amendment was carried , as neither of them condemned the . conduct of their members , or called on them to resign , but
assumed that their health was improved , and that they would soon take their seats . It had been asked , by whom this meeting had been called ? If it had called by only one elector , he would only have exercised an undoubted right , . and one which he hoped they would always recognise . ( Cheers . ) The amendment was then carried by an over whelming majority ; and after a vote of thanks to the Chairman , and three cheers for Buncombe and Wakley , the meeting dispersed . . .. It is . only fair to state , that at the height there were from six to seven hundred persons present .

Destruction Of Universal Suffrage In Fra...
DESTRUCTION OF UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE IN FRANCE . A very numerous and respectable public meeting , convened » y the society of Fraternal Democrats , was held on Monday evening , at the Literary and Scientific Institution , John-street , Tottenham-court Road ; Mr . James Grassbt was unanimously called to the chair , and had scarcely commenced his opening address when the Hall rang with plaudit ' s , announcing the arrival of G ; J . Harnett . The chairman said he was delighted to hear those gladsome sounds to welcome their friend Harney , and he hoped that they were precursors of a welcome , of another kind . ( Loud cheers . ) They had the mis fortune ofbeing compelled that night to announce the destruction of Universal Suffrage in -France . ( Hear , hear . ) Some might censure the people for
Eermitting this , without an attempt at resistance , ut he thought it exhibited the wisdom of the men of Pans , in their determination not to descend to the streets in face of one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers . If they ^ must fight , the French patriots were at least sagacious enough to choose their own time , and their opponents would soon discover that a standing army of three hundred thousand men were devouring their substance . ( Loud cheers . ) He had very great pleasure in introducing Bronterre O'Brien to move the resolution , as follows : — '' That this meeting believing that "Men of all countries are brothers , " and that those who oppress a nation are the declared enemies of all , cannot but regard thede | toctjqnof Universal Suffrage . in ; France , a & fcn ^ toT ^ teason to the human * race ; anoV . therefore , denounces the traitors to the execrations of the people of every land . " '' : • ' ""
Mr . O'Brien said that , resolution was a trump , and he believed that nothing in or out of Holy Writ was more" true than ' the sentiment it contained . Oh , glorious sentiment . '— "Men of all countries are brothers ; " ( Loud cheers . ) The resolution said Universal Suffrage in France was destroyed ,-hut , fortunately , there were two powers above the Legislative Assembly—the constitution and the people . ( Hear , hear . ) By the Electoral Reform , Act the Assembly had tried—he said tried , because the people would not suffer themselves to be excludedto exclude all persons not on the poll tax , or who hadnot . been employed " three years in one situation , and they might depend on it , that the tyrants would take precious good care that no person should
remain three years in one situation , who was likely to vote against them . ( Loud cheers . ) Le National had been at some pains in making a calculation , and had discovered that the Electoral Reform Act disfranchised four millions eight hundred thousand persons—directly , positively disfranchised—which was one half of the whole of the electors of France , and still reserving power by indirect means of disfranchising many others . ( Hear , hear . ) What reason was assigned for passing such an act ? Simply that Eugene Sue had been returned for Pans instead of Leclerc ; and who was Eugene Sue ? why he had been a most estimable professional man , and was now one , if not the most popular literati of the day ; and , by the bye , was a rich man ;
the press having reviled him as a Sybarite—a man who . lived and revelled in luxury ; yet no sooner was . he returned as member for Paris , than this vile press changed its tone , and declared" that all property was in danger . " ( Hear . ) His opponent , Leclerc , was a middle class fellow , who called himself a paper maker ; the very profession was a lie , as the fellow never made a single sheet of paper , but hired others to do it for him , by whose sweat and toil he lived—without whose aid and support he would perish—but whose chief merit , in the eyes of the middle class bourgeohe of Paris , was his ferocious slaughter of the proletarians in the days of June . ( Cheers . ) The men who had been instrumental in passing this
atrocions Electoral Act lived by cheating and fraud six days of the ! week , and only rested on the seventh that they might re-commence their nefarious practices on Monday morning with renewed vigour . ( Cheers . ) He contended that such a law could not be obeyed by the people of France ; and further , that no respect whatever was due to the passers of such a law . - It was passed under the bayonets of one hundred and fifty thousand armed soldiers . The great lexicographer , Boctor Johnson , in his most honest . and learned days , when writing , the first edition of his dictionary , bad descr ibed a soldier , as ahired assassin , and a pensioner , as a slave of state . ( Cheers . ) Let them not imagine that either of those definitions applied to English society—ah !
no ; to any other country but this ; ( Laughter . ) It was the duty of the people of France to regard the Electoral Law as not passed . It was opposed to the constitution , and , therefore , had no existence . ( Cheers . ) He did not wish the poor men who had been compelled to become hired assassins from hunger or . ignorance , or perhaps from both , to bo injured ; but that those who hired them should be made responsible for their acts . ( Applause . ) He was glad the Legislature had passed the law , because the veil was now rent asunder , and the bwxrgeoise stood exposed in all its hideous deformity . For the last twenty years , simple people had been continually meeting him with the cry of " Oh ! Bronterre , don't inflame the middle classes against us ; let
us act with those whose interests are identical with our own ; " hut now all this stuff was exploded , and it was found that the interests of the two classes were diametrically opposed to each other , and that in fine , the middle classes were as a class a dirty set of candle-end saving , cheese paring , sloe-leave mixing , adulterating , cheating , defrauding , Christcrucifying set of devils . ( Roars of laughter , and immense cheering . ) He had told them some time ago , that in France there were two inillibns of persons who understood their social rights , but the numbers had rapidly increased , and they were now nearly three millions . ( Loud cheers . ) Ten tyrants had already taken the alarm . Their organs in the Press said , " something was brewing in the minds
of the people , and so there was . The villany of tyrants did not allow them to sleep comfortably in their beds , and their lives were rendered miserable . ( Hear , hear . ) He told them that the people of Paris and of France generally would be revenged on them , and that the proletarians of all nations would then sing , " Oh ! be joyful . " ( Vociferous cheering . ) There was scarce a working man in France—but had lost a relative in the revolutionary wars—men who had imbibed the glorious principles laid down by Maximilian Robespierre , —to the amount of three millions were murdered . The middle classes wanted to get possession of the land by their worthless " assigiiats , " and how was it
done ? Why a general war was got up , men of all nations were set to slaughter each other , and thus the brave Proletarians were cheated out of their promised " milliard" and their valuable lives at one and the same time . ( Hear , hear . ) Would to God , that instead of destroying so many valuable lives , they had taken the four great generals , put them at a cannon ' s mouth ; and sent them to glory in a shower of grape shot ; but , however , such a thing as this might happen at some future period—not in England , but in some other country—and then of course it would be their duty to go down on their knees , and thank God for all his mercies . ( Immense cheering . )
Mr . Habket , in an eloquent speech , ably supported the resolution . ¦ Mr . G . W . M . Reynolds came forward , most warmly greeted , and said it gave him great pleasure to stand there in support of that resolution . He would like to know how many of the proletarian class had been put to death for what was called " sedition and treason ? " and which was not unfrequently but a mere declaration of their own rights . Was it not treason in the government when they attempted to put down the sovereign people ? And as monarchs " did to death" those whom they called traitors , according to their own notions , retaliation could be but an act of justice . But the French people must not be thought cowards
because they did not descend to the streets . Prudence said , " Citizens of France , choose your own timecatch the giant assassin asleep . " He conceived that notwithstanding all Changarnier's assassins , the " bill" never would have been enpeted had it not been for the little bit of English diplomacy , in the shape of the sham quarrel , no doubt got up on purpose ; but ifc might be said , would Lord Palmerston descend to such meanness ? He ( Mr . Reynolds ) replied , remember the Portugese afiair , with the Queen , Count Bomfin , and Basantes . Was not the Portugese Queen supported in the violation of her oaths , and a Fleet sent out to suppress the patriod aid in the
tism of Count Bomfin and Basantes , an violation of the Portugese Charter ? The middle classes of France were now seen violating every principle of Christianity and goodness , and he said beware of the middle classes of this country . ( Tremendous cheering . ) The middle classes were the same in every country —( hear)—their principles were : get all you can from the oppressed , ground down Proletarians . ( Cheers . ) Hence , he said , if this class got what they were seeking—a sufficiency of power to enfranchise all those who had something—they would set all who had something against those" who had nothing , and the working people must beware , or they would feel its effects . ( Cheerj . ) If the despots of the continent com-

Let tho Prussians and Rfissians march , to : the frontiers : , the Italians wouidthen proclaim their liberty ; , and march into Rome ,. with the glorious . Mazzini at their head .

( Applause . ) ., ,.,. ¦ -.. ¦ . Messrs . iPEiiiB ' and Wood , in forcible speeches , also supported tho resolution , which was put , and came ^ bj ; acclamation .

" Jlpftl' CHARTER ASSOCIATION . : Thetfeekiy meetings of this 'body , ' convened by *{ " ? jTPvisibnal Committee , continue to be held at theiLiterary and Scientific Institution , John-street , wim great success . On Tuesday evening ,-June 4 tbj the Institution was crowded . On the committee enfenng . the hall it was greeted with loud cheers . ; is $$ § $ & - ' - ^ * ^ ^ ^>^ < 1 b «« fly iMr . tG . W . M . Reynolds came forward , anltn ' an eloquent and most powerful speechinoived the
fol-, lowing resolution : —*• That this meeting , reviewing the proceedings of Parlia ment during the past week , is forced to the conclusion , that the so-called representatives of the people have been actuated more by cant than ; by genuine humanity , in their opposition to certain measures which have . been before the House of Commons ; and that principles will never be made the foundation of legislation until a fair choice of representatives is given to the peoplejby the enactment of the People ' s Charter as the law ' of the land . "
Mr . Eluot , in an able and argumentative speech , which was greatly applauded , seconded the motion . Mr . J . J . Bezkr ; then came forward to support the resolution , and in the course of his speech read a petition , intended to be submitted to the House of Commons , praying' for compensation for the sufferings endured and tho wrongs inflicted on him , ( Mr ; Bezer , ) by confining him ' for a long period in the Gaol of Newgate on a false charge of " Wicked and Seditious libel . " The petition set forth that Mr . Bezer . was a walking fishmonger , and in that capacity had offered to sell Lord John Russell a pike ; that for so endeavouring to increase his trade he had been tried , sentenced , and confined for a long period in Newgate , to the
injury of his health / trade , and constitution j that he , thereforej prayed to be placed on the pension list , or to receive some other compensation . That the language used at the meeting at which he ( Mr . Bezer ) naddelivered the speech for ; whieh % ho was convicted , was not so violent as that used at a meeting over which his grace , the Buke of Richmond had presided . Lord John Russell had said his grace was highly respectable ; and as there was not one law for the rich and another for tho poor , he ( Mr , Bezer ) begged to say that John Shaw , who presided over the meeting at which he ( Mr . Bezer ) had spoken , was also highly respectable ;
but that , nevertheless , he was , and had been , for the last twenty months , confined in Newgate .. He therefore prayed , that John Shaw be released , in order that his grace tho Buke of Richmond might occupy his place . The many purgont hits and quiet humour of the petition called down alternate shouts of laughter and the loudest applause . The resolution was put and carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was then g iven to the chairman , who acknowledged the compliment paid him . The meeting then dispersed . The usual liberal collection for the funds of the Association was made at the doors .
The Irishman. On Sunday Evening The Irie...
THE IRISHMAN . On Sunday evening the Iriends ol ttiis " paper met again at 26 , Golden-lane , to renew their exertions in support of its re-appearance . Dr . O'Connor occupied the chair , who said he felt highly gratinVd in presiding over a meeting whose object was in support of the sterling exponent of Irish independence , the gallant champion of unmistakable democracy . ( Cheers . ) He thought the cause of Ireland was centred in the Irishman , and he would have nothing to do with any mode of agitation till he saw it fairly at work again ; and , if the people would not support it , the best thing he thought they could do would be to go to
bed and dream of liberty in their slumbers . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Dwain , in a very able speech , portrayed the miseries and patient endurance of the Irish people through ages of misrule and wrong . . Mr . Thomas Manlv said , he came thereto assist them , because he heard they were Irish Democrats . He was one of brave Emmett ' s Brigade , and one of the last men that saw him' at the corner of Mosslane , giving instructions to remove the scaling ladders , while a twelve-pounder was playing on us down Thomas-street . ( Cheers . ) Mr . M . detailed other matters , which displayed the noble daring soul of Emrnett , and called forth repeated bursts of applause . . _
M > . Knox Flanaghan , m an excellent speech , sup orted the object of the meeting . Mr . Joyce said , if it were the last sixpence he bad in the world , he would give it in the cause ef the / rw / i ?« a »; if it were not supported , the disgrace should rest on the right shoulders—on those who vainly expected that liberty should come . to them without even an invitation . Mr . Clancy entered into some detail as to the mode which he would suggest for carrying out successful and permament support for the Irishman . He would suppose there were 100 clubs in existence in the three kingdoms : let each club guarantee . ten quarterly subscriptions , and surely this was not too
much to be expected . He did not mean that ten persons only ' should subscribe this sum ; but that the secretary of each locality should receive subscriptions according to the means that existed , until the sum of £ 3 5 s was made up , the secretary keeping a careful list of subscribers , should then deliver in return . papers to the araout of each subscription . This simple plan would at once test the sincerity of all , andicubviate inconvenience to many . This wouid realise £ 300 15 s to begin with , which might be doubled by each club engaging to form another ; thus a threefold object would be attained , namelythe sinews of war , a more perfect organisation , and a knowledge of their own strength and moral digaity . ( Hear . )
Mr . Lynch and others approved of the plan , and paid in a month ' s subscription . Messrs . Flanaghan and Lynch were appointed as a deputation to proceed to Wapping . Thanks having been given to Dr .. O'Connor , the meeting then separated .
The Hotel De Ville At Paris.—In Conseque...
The Hotel de Ville at Paris . —In consequence of the importance of the Hotel de Ville as a strategic position , and of the attacks constantly made on it in insurrections and revolutions , the mu . uici '" pality has resolved , in execution of the recommendations of a committee nominated in 1849 , to free it of many of tho houses that surround it , whereby its facilities of defence will be increased , and at tho same time the public convenience and salubrity will be promoted . It is proposed for example , to pull down almost the whole of the houses in the Ruede la Tixeranderie to tho Place du Marclie
Saint Jean . They are about 500 in number , and are almost all old and unhealthy . The streets in the quarter are narrow and winding , and ill supplied with light and air . The expense is estimated at between C , 000 , 000 f . and 7 , 000 , 000 f , and it is proposed to extend it over a period of ten years Eighty-three of the owners of tho houses to bo demolished , have already agreed to accept this condidition . A decree of the President of the Republic approves the proposed scheme , as one of public utility , and legal formalities are forthvf th to be commenced . — Galignani ' s Messenger .
Poon Relief ( Ireland ) , —From a return presented to the House of Commons , it appears that the number of persons receiving relief in workhouses in Ireland , on tho 28 th of February , 1850 , was 239 , 682 ; the number of persons between the ages of fiveteen and forty , who have been inmates of the workhouse for more than a year , on that day . was 28 , 547 , being 10 , 118 males and 18 , 429 females . There were receiving out-door relief ,, on the ' same day , 55 , 520 males and 8 D . 04 Q , females : total , 14 . 5 . 1 C 6 .

' / His last words were for his poor wife , arid the brotherhood of the human family .

wishes to . Unhappily death came upon him more rapidly than had been anticipated either by himself or his friends , and his wishes remained unfulfilled . He desired ,: if possible , to be laid in the same tomb , with his fellow patriots , Hardy , Home Tooke , and others , but it has since been ascertained , that this cannot be complied with , the grave being closed to any further interments .

t -SS" I was totall y ignorant of poor Preston ' s illness , and knew nothing of the circumstances connected therewith , until apprised of his death . I cannot sufficientl y express my regret that his friends deferred informing me of his wishes until too late ; had I known of them in time , I would have immediatel y hastened to his bed-side . It is to be hoped that the democrats of the metropolis will " one and
all , " attend the funeral of the deceased patriot oh Sunday next # > Thomas Preston , as a Republican and Social Reformer / was persevering and dauntless , and faithful to the end . Honour to his memory ! The distressed circumstances of the widow and son—the latter , I . believe , incapable of even self-sustenancecommand a public subscri ption . Perhaps such a subscription could be commenced at the funeral . Will the friends in immediate
communication with Mrs . "Preston , see to this ? Democrats of London , do your duty . G-. Julian Hahney .

t - w DR . M'DOUALL . TO FEABGUS o ' CONNOJt , ESQ ., II . ? . Sir , —I have not troubled you with any applications during the period of my imprisonment , nor would I have applied to you under any other circumstances . My family , as you may have been informed , have suffered many privations—the greater part of which I believe have been concealed from me . Poverty , however , soon finds means of making itself known through the stern visitation of death .
The little , girl whom you once saw at White Conduit House , is no more , and I have no doubt as to its death being accelerated—if not directly produced—by the want of' proper necessaries , advice and attendance ; all of which would have been at hand had I been elsewhere . You are a much altered man , if you cannot sympathise with me whilst bending under one of the hardest and bitterest trials I ever experienced , " Whatever may be your feelings towarda me , I think I shall not apply in vain for a statement being made in tho Mar , and for an appeal to the people to pay me back a portion of the money I have freely expended on them , , for . the security of my remaining children . ' .-t . v-- ' ' ..- ;)
I have very slender hopes of being allowed any mitigation by Government ; but the time is rapidly drawing to a close when I shall leave this prison , and undertake the protection of my little flock now diminished by one , whose absent voice will make the welcome of thousands a bitter mockery . Yours truly , ' ¦ Dr . M'Douall , Kirkdale , June i , 1850 .
Liberation Of Another Victim. To F. O'Co...
LIBERATION OF ANOTHER VICTIM . TO F . O ' CONSOR , ESQ ., M . P . Dear Sir , —You will be so kind to permit me , on behalf of our committee , to call the attention of the several Chartist and Democratic bodies , through the medium of your journal , to the case of poor Hooper , discharged from Kirkdale Gaol on last Thursday , after a period of twenty months solitary confinement and half starving . The humane authorities fearing to incur tho odium of his death , have indeed released him before the expiration of his sentence , when tfiey left him in that state that it is morally impossible he can live .
In addition to his physical debility , this young man has the misfortune of being penniless and fundlcss ; his relations , during his incarceration , being necessitated to emigrate to America , to seek employment there . For the only crime of loving his country and his kind , this onco fine , athletic young man , has , by a cause of suffering such ns bastile keepers only can inflict , . been tortured into a living skeleton ; and will his associates—in Liverpool especially—hold back , their m \ to to afford means to soothe by care and medical treatment , the remaining hours of a life prematurely brought nigh its end by selfsacrifice to forward , the rights of his fellow men ? Surely if thoy do all their patriotic effusions must bo so much vapourage . All that can—and little will do from each—should come forward at once ; the very fact of sympathy will in itself brighten the last hours of our Comrade .

The Emperor's Vase.— On Monday We Had An...
The Emperor ' s Vase . — On Monday we had an opportunity of examining the Emperor of Russia ' s Vase for the forthcoming Ascot races . It is a splendid piece of plate'illustrative of the eighth labour of Ilercu ' es , the destruction of Diomedes . King of Thrace , and his horses . The classic legend is that Diomedes , in order to render his horses more fierce in war , fed them on the flesh and blood of his captives , and that to deliver the wo : ld from thecru ? lties of such n tyrant Hercules attacked and killed both h ' m arid his horses . This subject is represented with great boldness ami power ! the group of figures being arranged round the vase wi'h such artistic skill that
in whatever way it is viewed new and striking effects are produced . The horses arc full of life and vigour , and tho designer and mod-llcr , Mr . Cotterill , deserves great credit for the master ly manner in which he has accomplished his part of the work . Messrs . Garrard are also entitled to praise for the excellent style of workmanship in which the vase has been produced . It contains , besides the main subject , emblems of the seven previous labours ot Hercules . On the body of tho vase ore the heads and skins of the Cleonman lion , the Kiymanthian boar , the Mtcnalman stag , and tho Cretan bull . On the neck are represented the Stymplialidt's , so called' from frcouentiug the lake Stymphalis , in Arcadia . The
handle is formed of the Lernman Hydra , and the foot represents the cleansing of the Augean stables . This magnificient piece of plate contains altogether 700 ounces of silver , and as a-work of art is well worthy of inspection . It « ill shortly be exhibited to the public at Messrs . Garrard ' s in the Haymarket . Beside it stands Her Majesty the ?' for the Ascot races , which is also plate . It is in the form of equestrian group qf Arabs has turned at bay to defend been wounded , —Times , The Peninsular and steamer Pottinger arrived on ampton , bringing advices Malta , and Gibraltar .
