had 8 EVE & BUS , aad ahosgst any of whom be . had never in bis life-been hut osce—in creating a prejudice in the minds of themes of " Golde > lane" against them .

After my return from Ireland Mr Clancy absented himself from our meetings till the . formation of the - 'Confederation , " when hs re-appeared ; and I , who have been associated with og countrymen frem my boyhood , never saw a more noisy meeting . A repor t of this meetixc was sent to yoa by Mr Clancy . A friend of his ' country ' s character would not have amhitioned its publication . Yoa refused its insertion because ef its length , and the lateness of its arrival .
In -that report , I think can be found the shut by which Mr Clancy is actuated . The cause of Hr Clancy's hostility to the "Nation" can be found in those lines of Bis published letter— " How much of tbat gentleman ' s detestation of the system has mingled with the repeated 6 UPPRE 6 SIOH 07 00 B 6 EP 0 BT . and BcsotonoMs , I will BOt stop here to inquire .

If be does not—which I think is net probable tbat be trill—I hope that whatever cbedit may belong to his proceedings he will cease from fastesisg thtm uyon the «* Irish men" of London , to whom be is a complete stranger , aad with whom he is iu no way connected .

The Expiring Parliament. •The Intriguing...
THE EXPIRING PARLIAMENT . The intriguing and bickering , the struggling ; and striving , the changing and swerving of six years , is about to come to a close . The Septennial Parliamentary o-uise is nmly finished , and the vessel of the State is steering into a port it little thought would prove its ultimate destination . But it has been driven from without . The hand of the statesman has let the rudder obey the impulse of the wares—he has stood a powerless phantom at the helm , and has seen the ship go on despite his will . Thus has it been with a majority of the measures that have emanated from the present Parliament .
Either they hare come direct from the people , and have been forced on the House , or they have been carried in the name of the people , and thus obtained sufficient strength to conquer indoor opposition ; for it often happens , in times of political transition , that one faction or another is enabled to baffle its rival by entrenching itself behind an imaginary rampart of popular support . ; attaching the-. popular name to some party-measure , in which the people themselves may take little or no interest ; ' and ' 'thus serve their own purpose , while the people are satisfied hy hearing themselves talked about in the
House ; But this very talking talks the popular cause into power , and is in itself - a ; sign , of the times . Even those measures , however , which have been based on a sound foundation , have been crippled in the tortuous courses of the Legislature . What evil was not engendered in the Commons was added in the . Lords—as in the case of the Poor Law ; or , where measures , good in themselves , were passed , the machinery for their enactment has either been defective , or- concomitant obstacles have not been removed . Thus with regard to Free-Tradethe sound principle has been vitiated or nullified , in
being only recognised as a party-measure . The one monopoly has been removed—the others—without which Free-Trade is but an imperfect reform—have remained untouched . Government are fearful of grappling with the Election . , . Law ,.,, the Navigation Laws ,.. the Game . Laws , : * the Land Laws , the Church Law , and' Taxation . Tbe principle they have partially recognised in Free-Trade applies to these as well , — and they will have to apply , it too , or it once yield their place to woTihiet ana wiser men . These , with Ireland , ' will be the task , the
OPPORTUNITY or the DIFFICULTY , according to its honesty or expediency , of the ensuing Parliament . All must now feel that it is utterly vain to resist the ultimate triumph of civil and religious liberty—some , however , think it may be delayed . " Sot in our day 1 "—hut , like toads amid the sunshine , the retrogressive politicians crawl , powerless to resist , seeking out some dark nook of corruption for their retreat . Thence tbey have thrown themselves into tfce arms of Mother Church . Tbey- feel their temporal weapons not sufficient , and they seek to wield spiritual ones as well . This accounts for the
| long-surplice dispute—which was well calculated to engage weak minds in a religious controversy—( good Heaven ! do men suppose religion to consist in a white or black gown ?) This accounts forthe commutation of tithes , in order to remove the sordid character of the State-establishment from too immediately before the eyes of the people ; this accounts for tie rapid spread of church-buildlding—; tbis accounts for tbe Maynooth grantand Catholic en-¦ tfowmen * , in orter , if possible , to render the independent Roman ( Catholic Clergy subservient to the -State . But the latter are seeing through ihe scheme ;
itfcftj see that , instead of furthering , it will impair & ejinterests of their Chnrch , in common with the anti . > Btate Churchmen in England ; they , too , feel that . £ true church ought only to he upheld by the right-hand of God , and not by parliamentary enactments : ; they , too , feel that in the same degree as theipe ^ p Se grow enlightened , Church end Stele will fora = a < fl . oser league ,.. to darken , if . passible , the rising stnifld of the couatey , and every religious community-svlil at once petoeive that the sew bishops and elauehes , the new endowments and Education scheme , -. are hut . as so many brittle shieUs held up
against the < on-march of ffiHE CHARTER . But as two bonitlgeneous elements are at wark—as religious refold and politieettiehxm are progressing side by side-re . chance yet remains for the monopolist . " Dtride them ! nay , CMre—breed dissenrion between &< ae , and , we sfealJ be able to chain them down for another generation" This is-she object of their tnaJicy—this is . the plan of tbair government . Thanoe have theyeosked , and subt ly * the Endowment Scheme and ithe Education ! Scheme , thinking io create . discord among the popular ranks . Some , ihey thought , would 1 * for , and sonse ^ B ^ nst , GaveraHrient
Education—and . this would jasftduee aspht . We Roman Catholics , < hey imagine , would he gratified by endowment , and thus join ia a crnsade n ^ ainst the Dissenters : Alas for thens I They have been mistaken . They sever dreamed oi the almost . nnanimous protest against their Education scheme ,- ^ not against , educatioa , but against a one-sided , a . sectarian , aa autocratic education . They never anljci . pated the advance made by \* iie religious mind o the couutiy—that tr » se whom fliey called bigot s were more liberal than their self-assignated Libera masters ; that tbe Christians of asery persuasion would say , " Let the Church stand on itsown foundation , and FAIR PLAY TO EV » aif CREED
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD 1 " It is with these truths ringing in its eais that the Parliament expires—truths it has b ^ en 2 asapable of smothering it has been unwilling to . recognise . Its deathbed is haunted by visions of . murdered reforms and mutilated acts . An untimely desth-bed repentance seizes it , now that it is too late , i \ nd it tries to renew the leases of its life by the nostrums of " Extension of the Suffrage" and political
reforms , vague , shadowy , and indistinct as are i < s notions of Right and Justice . We will hear of no " extension" short of UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGEwe know of no Reformer but the people—PARTY cannot legislate for COUNTRY , landlord for labourer , or factory lord for workman . Tbe House of Commons is the jury which is to decide the popular cause ; it is a PACKED JURY , so long , as those exclusively occupy its benches whose interests are hostile to the people .

Parliamentary Review. Parliament Is ^Ror...
PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . Parliament is ^ roriking " double tides , " sultry and oppressive though 4 he weather be , for the purpose of winding-up * t ike earliest possible moment , and in all probability we shall next week have to record the decease of tlie longest-lived Parliament oi modern times . Its dwrecter , actions , and probable future influence , may feorm the theme for comment on other occasions . Whatever difference of opinion , may exist as to its career , from the period that Peel took office to his retirement , there can , we believe , be but one opinion respecting it since the destinies of the
country were confided to Russell . Its closing session contrasts curiously with its active earlier sessions . The curtain will drop on a complete legislative blank . Not one great or important measure has passed this year . The only legacy it bequeathes to posterity is m addition ot 9 , 000 , 000 / . to the National Debt ; and the recollection that that sum , which might have effected incalculable permanent benefit for Ireland , has been spent in such a way as
to he all hat useless . We state this with the recollection that a New Poor Law for Ireland has passed—the only portion of the remedial measures in the Ministerial budget which attained that distinction . Whatever its indirect tendencies and influence may he , it must be confessed that , as . it stands , it is not such an act as a Minister who desired to claim the credit of humane and comprehensive statesmanship would like to father .
The do-nothing policy has become so commonthe withdrawal of bills of the greatest importance is so much a matter of course—that it can occasion no surprise to our readers to find that this week is like the last and many previous weeks in that respect . With the exception , of granting supplies , no public business , of . any great importance has been transacted . There has been the usual amount of motions and of " talk ; " hut motions , bills , and" talk "
have finished in ' withdrawals" and postponements to another session ; Unfortunate members who mil have to sit in ' '" -another session . '" what enr-rmous arrears of Whig good , intentions they will have to hring up 1 -- what a host of promissory hills tbey will be called upon to honour ! If Russell and his Cabinet of Incapahles continue to > it on the Treasury bench ,-we much fear that payment of these promissory hills will he still further postponed .
Among the subjects on which a " palaver , as the Indians call it , has taken place , is that of Bribery and Corruption at Elections . This is a favourite topic with talkers . It is easy to declaim against bribery , and to earn a cheap reputation for political virtue and purity , by the repetition of stock and cant phrases and fine sentences against so notorious a political and social vice as the bribery of electors . We believe that that vice exists now to a smaller
extent than at any period of our modern history i but , however that may he , it'is certain that mere Acts of Parliament have not and cannot put it down . Make them as stringent as you may—multiply words—increase penalties as you please—means will he found in future , as they hasft heen in past times , to evade the law . It has been said that a coach and six horses might be driven through the strictest Act of Parliament that ever wasframed , and certainly the statement is verified hy the fate of all previous Briberv Bills . If the mere declaimers against this vice
were in earnest , it would be very easy to point out a way by which they could effectually secure the object they profess to have in view , and do a great act of political justice to the unenfranchised classes at the same time . The remedy is a simple and a radical one . Pass a bill enacting that every man of sane mind , who has attained the age of 21 years , shall henceforth be an elector , and add to this the protection of the Ballot . From that moment bribery and corruption will be unheard < of , hecause it would be too expensive to try to bribe the masses , who
would then possess the Franchise ; while the exercise of the right , through the medium of the ballot , would deprive the briber of all actual control over the conduct of the Imbed . The mere fxdmenaturn of virtuous resolutions against a vicious practice , or the enactment of penal statutes , whilst the strong self-interest of men prompts to its commission , is hut a part of that irrational system by which men have , in all ages , deceived themselves into the belief that words were a substitute for things . Th only radical and rational mode of legislating is , to make the laws and the self-interest of those who are to live under them , harmonize . In this casei
we presume , however , Lord Brougham attained the object he had in view—that of delivering a speech , and of keeping up a kind of traditional reputation for what are called Liberal opinions . " At this late period of the session , " as was pathetically and originally pleaded by Lord Lansdowne , " it was impossible to do anything in the shape of a hill ; and as to resolutions , why their Lordships had passed plenty of resolutions on the subject already—resolutions which no doubt every one ot their Lordships had violated in his own person , or through his connexions , with the most edifying morality . " Vive la Humbug I
So the Monster Statue is not to come down from the top of the arch at Constitution Hill , after all ! The " Iron Duke" has been consulted on the matter , and as he would rather have the bronze Duke where it Is , the Queen has , according to newspaper phraseology , " graciously acceded to the wishes of the greatest of her subjects . " Unless , therefore , some thunderstorm or earthquake kindly rids us of . the monster , London will , as a punishment for its * ins , continue to be afSicted hy the presence of the sjammoth effigy in cocked hat , policeman ' s Staff ,
cloak , and military boots , which Mr Wyatt has contrived as a specimen of British art , in thc 19 th century . It is lucky for Sir F . Trench and the fabricator M this huge metal monstrosity , that the Whigs were en office , —they are so squeezable I Any other Ministry , after the unequivocal outburst of coudemnation elicited hy its appearance in public , would undoubtedly have caused it to he removed , and especially after appointing a Commission of Artists to report on ihe subject , which report was decidedly
. against its continuance in its present position . The . di & culty really was , what to do wi b it when it was got down again . It is so horribly ugly , that , to have planted it anywhere else in the metropolis would have caused a still jgreater nuisance than is caused by it at present . We suggested , some time ago , the only effectual mode of settling the whole matter . Put horse and rider into the melting-pot—sell the metal , and send the money over to Ireland . It will be almost the first pecuniary benefit derived from Arthur , Duke ofWelKtigton , by his countrymen .
A somewhat warm and interesting discussion took place at the Saturday sitting last week . Ongoing into committee on jjj e fleeovery of Public Monies ( Ireland ) Bill , Lord Clements told the Government t / iat it ought not to ask for the repayment of any of tfie money recently advanced to Ireland , or rather to the landlords of tbat country . We have not the slightest doubt that bis Lordship ' s views are entertained b / a majority of his class , and that the prevalent opinion among them all along has been , that repayment neyer would he demanded from them .

ral consequences of their own conduct . In all probability the operation of the Poor Law and the repaymentof these advances will , ta lk ««"* a short time , throw large . ) # « land into the hands ' of the Government ;^ at all events there is such , a' favurahle -concurrence of circumstances having thatetendeiicyr ^ Government ought to avail itself of them for the purpose of introducing a new system of tenure ^ an ^ a better cultivation of the soil into Ireland . ' Its capabilities are this moment notoriously and disgracefully neglected ; -a neglect which must continue , to inflict starvation , pestilence , and death , upon the inhabitants , so long as the present possessors of the land are allowed to
misuse . it . The hill for making four new Bishops drewTrpm Mr Horsman a startling and able exposure of-the jobbery perpetrated in that' department * of'State management ; and the debate incidentally , damaged the ministry , especially Lord J . Russell ,-hy showing him to have been inconsistent in his opinions as to the necessity or desirability of having more Bishops . The Premier , however , is working hard to have the support of the Church party and the Wesleyans at the next election , and does not mind being dragged through the dirt a little , so that he Achieves his object . The Bishoprics Bill is a mere ecclesiastical
job . Nobody in .. his . . senses believes'that the creation of a' Bishop ' of ' 'Mahch ' ester '_ wiir in the slightest degree . benefit the people of thakgreat hive of industry . It will neither make / them ; wiser , honester'i nor happier . ^ Its only effect will be ; to provide ahother . plaee , with a- title and a larger revenue for one of the ' numerousI broods of privileged idlers and bloodsuckers who ; . prey-on the vitals of the people . It is our honest ' conviction , that if the
whdle ' o ' rder . of . Bishops , was abolished to-morrow , the sun would shine , the rains fall , the winds blow , and the wor ! d turn ' round just as usual , seed-time and harvestjiWoiild succeed each other in the same old fashion-, manufacturers * and merchants would go on creating ; arid-: distributing wealth , and the people at large work ,- eat ,-drink , ' sleep , and perform the usual duties of citizenship just as well , if not a great deal . better , than they do at present .
The idea that giving a man a title , two or three palaces , and five or thirty thousand pounds & jear , is calculated . to subserve the cause of religion or uphold Christianity , is most preposterous and ridiculous—and this proposed addition to an unnecessary and-exclusive class , is only one of the many instances in which . Lord . John and his . colleagues have so lately violated " the . great principle of civil and religious liberty , " ab ' out which they ate accustomed to spout so , glibly . , ,
The Home secretary-is determined to protect the coal-ownMs ' ' interest at ' all hazards . Mr Duncpmbe ' s short and simple . bill to prevent the use ot gunpowder in collieries , has followed in the wake of his larger and more important measure , for the better ventilation of mines , and the , prevention of abuses practised on the working colliers . In tlie face of the recent most horrible and deplorable explosion at Kiikless Colliery , where thc practice of blasting w ' th gunpowder led to the loss " of seven lives—six persons being absolutely eric £ ed-ttp in the pit , to prevent
it from extending- —m the face of this and numerous other similar cases , Sir G . Grey refused even a small preventive measure as a temporary remedy , The Government influence was brought to bear in favour of the coal-owners ; the influence of money prevailed , and the claims of humanity were rejected . Property , not man , is the great object of modern legislature , and of legislative protection . What if the loss of a few lives compared with the diminution
of the accustomed 5 or 10 per cent . ? Of course the lateness of the session—that hacknicd andready excuse—was alleged as fhe catise ' . of .-refusiuga bill , which did not need an hour ' s considerations / hid there been the slightest-desire on the . iijfttj . pf . the Government to check ; the evil it applied . to ..- ¦¦ -The colliers will , " no dpubt , ; remember their obligations- to the Whig Ministry- ! ¦>? ' ?¦ " , * ; 't'C' ^ Si -3
The Obstructives' were ,: however ,- nearly ; beaten on . Wednesday , 6 n ' ., the divisionifor the bill-brought in by Sir De Lacy Evans , to enact that ' the payment of rates up to the 15 th of . October of the previous year , instead of the 5 th of April of the ' current year , should entitle electors to- the right of yoUrig ' for Members of Parliament . ' On the amendment that the bill be read that day three months , the numbers were equal , and the Speaker , according to precedent , gave the casting-vote against the amendment .. The
division for tlie seconding reading showed 52 for , and 53 against , the bill being lost by the majority of one only . These" small goes" have very little of our sympathy ; but their fate shows of what metal our legislators are made , and indicate their anti-reforming tendencies and predilections in a manner not to be mistaken . It is clear that both Whigs and Protectionists have taken their stand upon the Reform Act , as a final measure , so far as they are concerned , and
are prepared to fight lustily for keeping things as they are . Half-a-dozen earnest Chartists in the House of Commons under the leadership of Mr Duncombe would change the aspect of affairs in a very short time , and that which now appears to many " hon . members" either Utopian or objectionable , would speedily assume both a practical and a desirable aspect . Is it too much to expect that THE PEOPJLE will have that number of representatives in the so-called V People ' s House" next Parliament '

A Trip To Bla Ckstoke-Ed6e . Sunday Last...
A TRIP TO BLA CKSTOKE-ED 6 E . Sunday last , July 11 th , " was a' day which will not be forgotten by thc Chartists of Lancashire and Yorkshire ; and for our p . irt , we shall never be able to erase from oar memory the splendid spectacle which presented it < elf to our view when we first beheld the Aiousands of human beings assembled under the canopy of heaven , and aniOni'St the blooming heather on Blackstone-Edge , With a fe ™ of our Chartist friends we engaged a sprir . j cart , and left Manchester at fi u ' ctecfc in tbe moroitig , ft was very gloomy , and looked like rain , but notwithstanding , when we got on the road , we beheld numbers of pedestrians wending th ' . ir way towards the place o £ meeting , and it was truly pleasing to see such devotion to principles as there manifested itself—" veterans" ia she cause undertaking ii j . urney ot twenty miles on foot for the purpose of meetim ; kindred souls amongst their owa native bills , there to renew their fealty to each other and their holy principles .
The vfli-iou ? towns and hamlets through which we passed were pouring out their tributaries for the jmrp » 8 » of making this demonstration worthy of the cause ia behalf of which it had been get up . Wc had heard much of the ' potato blight" by tbat vil # rag the Jfuucftcsler Guardian , and const quently having some time on our hands , we looked for it , but could not find any . The crops on every side lo » ked most promising , and the perfume from the meadows and the new-made hay wa * truly delicious , and as we viewed the sweets o £ Nature and the simplicity of rural life , many were the hear ; felt ejaculations of" Oh ! how I de wish ;! was balloted , and on my own allotment . "
At about 11 o ' clock we arrived at the foot of the hill , and feeling ready for a second breakfast , we accepted the offer of one of the lncul inhabitants , to m-We use of his fireside , where , with the help of his good wife , we were soon made comfortable . From the cottage we bad a fine view of the high road , and could see all that passed , and we are sure that" mine host" of the public house never had such a dcmn » d for stable-room and refreshments fet man and horse , as he had on this day . We remained here until near one o ' clock , during the whole of which time there was one continued and dense stream of living beings making their way to the p ' ace of meeting . The Bftcup Cb-ATt ' nts came up with three large waggons and other con veyancep , and a splendid band of music .
As we ascended the hill we had a view of the valley to a considerable distance , and from every way -we looked we beheld streams of people making for tbe White Hou 86 on Blnckstone . Edjje . Having arrived et the top of tie hill we wervi greeted with many a hearty welcome from friends from various parts of the country , some of whom we had not seen for years . But such a gathering ae have not seen sim-e the great demonstrations that preceded the arrest of Stephens , and the meeting of the first Convention . And the only drawback was the absence of Mr O'Cnnor and Mr M-Grath , and many were tbe anxious iniuiiries if we had Been them before we left Manchester . We were compelled to give negative answers , and which created a gloom amongst the people , , some of whom had come upwards of 30 miles to sec ma men of whom they had heatd so much . But we are > sorry to say tbey were doomed to a serious disappoint- ment .
At length the meeting commenced in a beautiful oa- - tional amphitheatre , which rose in gewtle slope * on tbr * c e sides with a large arena in the centre . We are not much l of a judge of numbers , but the reader may frame his » own estimate when we say that there were two acres ot t ground densely packed ' with human beings . The veteran a Ben . Rushton was unanimously called to the chair , and a the meeting was addressed by . Messrs Tattersal , Dixon , i , Kuttall , Mooney , Taj , ; and others . Resolutions iu favour of the Charter and contesting ig the elections with Chartist . candidates were agreed to . o . After thanks to tlie chairman the meeting separated , d , much disappointed in not seeing and listening to their old id friend and champion , Mr O'Connor . —cVrespondfivt .
P . S . When we arrived at Manchester we found thafcat Mr 0 Connor had been in town all day , but no one bsdsd looked near him , and thus was he left In suspense «•<*•< ectmg gome one coming , until it was too late to get tC tC the place of meeting by any means . ( From anotfitjr Correspondent . ) On Sunday , according to announcement , the meetinpng : atlilackstone . Ed gccawcoff . and a glorious meeting it ill wag . Early in the forenoon ; groups of people on everjerj , side were seen wending their way on the hills and in thtthc : valleys , making their approach towards the lofty end-mi " nence on Bluckstoue-E-i ge .
