TO DANIEL O'CONNELL
Sir,—Upon The 12th Of August, 1336, Now ...
Sir , —Upon the 12 th of August , 1336 , now more than fen years ago . ' you toH your slavish dupes at the Cora Exchange , that I was unworthy of the confidence of the Irish people , and that whenever the Struggle came hetween the peop le and their enemies that I should be found in the TtA ^ KS FIGHTING AGAINST THEM . From that hour to the present I have watched your every movement , and although I was convinced of your weakness , your cowardice , and your insincerity , yet 1 never for once permitted my own feelings to
withhold support even of you , to sustain you in a strugg le to which I had hoped to nail you . "Whenever lie principles of a domestic legislature were attacked by the hireling press of England , I was their first , their boldest , hay , their only advocate , and \ shen Ireland ' s enemies had eutramiucUed you within the meshes o ! the Saxon law , I forgot your m anifold acts of insolence towards myself and my family , and 1 tried to forget the infamy in which TOti had attempted to shroud the honoured names of those devoted heroes whose lives were sacrificed in
their country s cause . Our chief rallied round you all the sympathies of the English working classes , who , in the moment of danger , nobly forgot your many acts of treason towards them . There was then an opportunity afforded you of confessing error and receiving forgiveness ; but living in a mist of misconception , prejudice , and ignorance , you dreaded the lig ht that would dispel the halo , and lest English sympathy and kindness should have destroyed Irish j « rnorance and prejudice , your first act upon return to vour dupes was once more to revile the dreaded Chartists .
Ton are a purchaser with notice of your present hnnuhation . If you have read my several letters to Mr . O'MaTtey upon your , future destiny , however unpalatable the confession , you must corse to the conclusion , that I have been a prop het ; whilst you must also admit that 1 have not been hasty in seeking vengeance for your manifold acts of treason to my country , of insult to my family , and insolence to mvself . But I told you , old man , that the day -ironld assnretflv come -when truth would prevail ,
and when those who had the manliness to preserve consistency and honour in spite of your jealousy and denunciation , would receive the homage of national repentance for hasty conviction . I am not going to deny that your repeated assertions , which I had no power to controul , did banish me , as well as many others , from the land of my birth that was dear to me ; hut unlike most others , 1 shall not have to offer the apology of opposition based upon spleen , to insure my own acquittal . For fifteen years I have lived in the tcit vortex of Irish and English agitation , and the records of my several acts will
furnish the strongest evidence in refutation of your j fabricated charges . Touwill already have discovered my aim—it is to stand before the Irish people , daring yon to the proof of one single allegation against my public , or even private character , and defying yon to substantiate a single charge of treachery to my country , or violation of my p rinciples . "Xes , sir , if you know anything of human nature and of honest pride , which I much doubt , you must have felt conscious that although I was patient , yet I was resolute—you must have presumed that I would not have remained a suspected outlaw beyond the limits ass igned by prudence . You had cunning enough to
inow that , though daring , I would not have hazarded my character upon the certainty of defeat through the wild howl of prejudice : hut , sir , I now give you notice , that the hour comeih when I will confront you , unarmed , except by my conscience and honour —that I will meet you before the Irish people , whom I will not court by flattery but subdue by truth ; so that you cannot say that you have been taken by surprise , and that , if allowed time , you would have been prepared with proof of my guilt . You cannot charge me , as you have been wont to do , upon the flimsy pretest of having denounced and abused you , as Ireland will now require stronger proof of guilt than denunciation of her destroyer .
What , sir , did you imagine that the staff of hired prostitute creatures whom you had made the guardians of your frail position could sustain yon in the battle of might against richt ? The struggle of nationality and THE PEOPLE has now commenced in good earnest , and where is the verification of your prop hecy of ten years ago , that I would he found in the ranks fighting against them ; of course , inferring that vou would be foremost in the battle ranks of rig ht . Where are we now , sir ? I am strong in the affections of the peop le of a whole nation , in whose hearts I have sown the seed of Irish affection , though outlawed , while I am growing info that esteem of my own countrymen
of which you had hoped to deprive me , and from which you are yourself being routed . Where are YOU ? you are meanly drivelling your weak missives to vour subservient menials , in the hope of throw ins up on others a responsibility with which you are mainly chargeable . "What , Sir . am I to be told , that political progression is to be characterized and marked by increasing social degradation , and that Ireland ' s present poverty is a proof of her intellectual advance and political progression ? I shall not stop to note your slavish flattery of a profligate government , through praise of its Irish Eexecufive ; hut I tell you to take warning by the cries of hunccr and the savage vengeance of those who have
sustained you with the parings from their scanty hoard , in the hope of the realization of your flattering promises . In truth , Sir , the Irish appear determined on having Ireland without your assistance . 1 was moved to laugutcr at your last appeal , addressed to vour lurelitii , in which vou recommend the laying aside of all party distinctions ; but I sneered at your "OUNCE OF CIVET , " administered to llr . Osborne , iu return for his vulgar language . Ah I Sir ; who has been the foulest mouthed blackguard in the world ? Whose character , -whose shape , whose form , whose youth , whose age , whose misfortunes , whose calamities , whose infirmities , have escaped the venomous tongue of the now polite and subdued O'Connell ?
Sir , instead of Ireland being now a howling wilderness , filled with the voice of starvation , desolation , and woe , a proper expenditure of the funds that vou have wrung from confiding poverty for the last tlurty years would have enabled you to locate one million of her sons in houses of their own , upon land of their own for ever , from which no Saxon kw or domestic oppressor could eject them . And such a population of honest Irish yeomen would have preserved their God from the blasphemy of a Saxon Archbishop by banishing famine from the Laid . But patriots with an " itchy" ; palm thrive best
on national suffering . The confiding slave will hazard his last shilling at the gambling table in the hope of increasing his hoard , or , at the worst , in losing hut little ; while the man of substance and comfort wit ! see value before he gives payment . You boast of your sacrifices , while you have pensioned your pauper Hannibals upon the tEses wrung from jour bleeding country . You parade your devotion in having preferred £ 30 , 000 a year and the charm of popularity to -i' 3 , 000 a year and drudirerv cf office , but I speak not of sacrifice ,
as I consider no offering too great for the restoration of my country ' s liberty , and to secure that I yet aspire , and in despite of your powe r and the silent f ci ' oM ^ uh- of your competing press , I will ouce more rear the standard cf Liberty awl llepeal upon the couaiain top and by the sea side . and gather round it svdi aflwiilofPEACEFUL RESOLVE AND ilOUAL i'GWER as will sweep your pigmy resistance , and tka of your prostitute subordinates , like dust before the v , ui . l . I did it before and I'll do it asaii ; . Ami aw , sir , in conclusion , and not to take you by

surprise , I will address a paper containing this letter to Your cold quiet home , telling you , that I dare you to the proof of one single act of treason , treachery , or inconsistencythat I will meet you when you shall dare to summon me before a tribunal in Conciliation Hall , there to stand my trial in the face of the Irish nation , single handed and alone iving you the advantage of long-sowu prejudice and long , though , abused
confidence . I will neither fear " THE SOUSING IN THE LIFFEY" nor the physical force of your moral army , and if you refuse to charge me , I shall esteem it as proof of your incompetency to convict me , and as a verdict of my acquittal and your condemnation . But , sir , if you refuse this just demand , I will meet you when you may not be so well prepared for my visit . I cannot subscribe myself with other feelings than those which ariss from a mixture of pity and contempt , Feargus O'Connor .

Irelaxd. Narrative Of Malcolm M'Gregor. ...
IRELAXD . NARRATIVE OF MALCOLM M'GREGOR . SO . I . By birth a Scotchman , and from disposition an adventurer , I had [ made a tour of most countries of Europe and America , and had seen some little of Asia . Oa my return to my native land , after a three years' absence I found the condition of Ireland to be the all-absorbing topic with all classes , as well as constituting the daily and weekly stock subject of the press . When I left upon my travels in 1 S 43 , 1 , like many others , had strong hope in
Irelaud ' s better days , from the magnanimous display of her moral power and physical strength , marshalled , exhibited , and controlled by her trusted leader and chief . In truth , I considered much longer resistance to the only measure of redress to which every Irish heart -was wedtted , and to which , the national resolve was nailed and CLENCHED , as an act of Ministerial insanity , either provoked by pride , or persevered in from the necessity of perpetuating power , by pandering to the fears and prejudices of those Irish supporters from whom it gained strength , and to nhom , in return , it dispensed patronage .
1 had witnessed partial distress in many countries ; but , then , it was estimated rather by comparison with the usual mode of living than by positive want . I had seen apparently barren hills , in the most forbidding climes , peopled in some instances to thexery summit , yielding the peasant an ample store fov his and his family ' s frugal subsistence , from moderate and healthy labour ; and , hearing of the fertility of Ireland ' s fields , her sheltered and productive -valleys , genial climate , and insular position ; inviting commerce with the world , in the most valuable produce : and having frequently admired—nay ,
wondered , at the industry and frugality of those of her people who flocked to other regions , and performed the hardest tasks * f labour in our streets and docks , and in constructing our railways and rearing our public buildings , as if their competition was for the lion ' s share of toil ; seeing the naked skeletons that flocked to England to make hay and reap the harvest from daylight till dark ; and contrasting these dangers and risks that those adventurers in quest of a morsel were ready to daw and run , and the excessive nature of the toil they were ready and willing to undertake , with
the more moderate hardship consequent upon the cultivation of their own soil , it allowed to work it to advantage—reflecting upon all these pros and cons I was seized with a misgiving , as well with regard to the causes of distress assigned by the pres ? , as touching the remedies suggested by the philanthropist , or the responsible , and therefore alarmed . Thus perplexed , and anxious to solve the riddle , I once more mounted my trusty roadster—Shanlesmare — and buckled my knapsack on my back , trusting to the mountain-side for an "Alpine" to climb the heather , and jump the brook . Thus equipped , I made the best of my way to Bristol , whence I took
steam for Cork ; the people of that and the adjoincounties of Waterford and Limerick being represented as the most destitute and turbulent . * Being one of those tourists who set a proper value upon the decent and polite observance of , and deference to , national manners and customs , and even prejudices , I resolved upon gleaning as [ much informatio as passible respecting Ireland and the Irish , and with this view I adopted the surest coarse of acquiring that necessary ingredient—I RESOLVED UPON BEING A LISTENER . For some time
after we started , as was natural , the conversation turned upon the weather and the prospect of the passage ; nor was it till the cloth was removed after dinner that I heard a syllable breathed upon the subject thatfilledjerery month on shore ; and then it was introduced by a young dragoon officer , who informed us , with an oath , that his regiment had been ordered from Brighton , the pleasentest quarters in the world , to the south of Ireland , to pulldown the d d beggars , that would not work , and wern ' t satisfied with good Indian meal instead of rotten potatoes , but he'd be d d if he'd stand their nonsense Jong , and he
hoped in God he'd only get orders to charge and he'd g ive them some cold steel . This observation , to my surprise , created a loud and general laugh , and was responded to by an elderly gruff- ooking man , with an approving nod , and , " Aye , and serve them right too , sir . " There were many fashionable-looking women ef the patty , the sea was calm as a fish-pond , there were none of those awkward lurches which check conversa * ion , and this young hero became the lion of the feast , while his youthful folly , thoughtlessness , and anti-lri * k prejudice , bid fair to be converted into the most murderous
resolution , from the universally bad character given of the Irish peasantry , by all who took part in the conversation , and who appeared conversant with the people and their habits . Famine , I was assured , was but a natural consequence of the laziness and turbulence of the people , who preferred giving their last farthing to the REPEAL RENT , in the hope of becoming participants in the general plunder promised by Mr . O'ConnclI , OF IRELASD TO THE IRISH . Our youthful military hero , from the excitement of admiration , and considerably assisted by refreshers from the bottle , was speedily consigned to
the sofa , and became the espeeial care of the ladies , who readc his head comfortable , and wrapped him up snugly in a boat cloak , furnished cheerfully by the "GKTJFF MAN , " with the declaration by G—he would spend his last shilling , and share his last crust with thatd—dfine " joungchap . " * ' Thesearethe sort of men . Sir , " he continued , addressing himself to mc , " that we want , and none of your namby-pamby old women , that make such a row if the beggars are shot . Give me a Wellington and his staff , and martial law sir , in preference to all your d d Whig
rubbish of baronial assessments , aud I'll answer for the tranquillity of the country . " Though almost provoked to a remark by this sanguinary observations yet the recollection that listeners always profited by their silence , curbed me , and I merely nodded . This sort of conversation was continued to a late hour , when the several passengers retired to their respective berth- - , myself among the number . The reader may easily imagine that the account given of the country which I was about to visit , caused mc some anxious reflections , and I had scarcely fallen asleep , when the steward announced the glad

tidings , "We ' re in the river sir , Cove is just a head of us , and its a beautiful morning . " I thanked him , started up and dressed myself , when the first object that presented itself , was our hero still stretched on the sofa , frith an anxious female attendant on either side , while he freely returned the compliments of the bottle , with a casual ejaculation of " JD-n them I ' m ready for them , only let me at the beggars . The gallant Hussars for ever . " When I went on deck we had just passed Cove , and the most splendid scenery that can be imagined burst as if 1 y magic upon , the dazzled eye ;
it was a constant bewilderment of successive views > each surpassing the previous one , if not in grandeur , at least in artificial greatness , until we nearcd the metropolis of the South , where for miles either bank of the river is studded with the princely mansions of the Cork merchants , which I confess in some de gree accounted for the reported barrenness of equally good land in the interior , but which I conjectured had been stripped of its wealth to enrich the hoarded treasure of those who by the process of barter , have discovered the magnetic influence by which the honey of labour may be attracted to the comb of speculation ,
the produce of the bee to the hive of the drone . At length we landed , and were subjected to all the usual hurty burly , bustle and confusion , consequent upon such occasions ; not that I participated in the general skirmish for luggage , as I had my wardrobe on my back . On passing through the gabbling crowd of competitors for a job , I thought I was subjected to nicer scrutiny than my fellow-passengers , but very naturally ascribed it to the fact , that , having no luggage , I was no man ' s money . As I was jostling my way through the bustling crowd , trusting to chance and a good look out for a comfortable hotel , a dragoon
neared us at a rattling pace , and as he approached I thought I recognised a familiar face , when to my great delight he pulled up , and stretching out his hand exclaimed , "What , Malcolm , is this possible ! " "What ! Captain Burford ? "Ireturned in an ecstacy of delig ht at once more meeting an old and dear friend , in whose charming society I had passed so many happy days , and from whose store o ( knowledge I had gleaned so much useful information , and who had been my companion through many a mountain pass , As we were engaged 'in this to unwelcome recognition , 1 thought the crowd still eyed
me rather disparagingly , and made the remark to my lriend , who replied , with one of his joyous laughs , " And don't you know why V " No , " I said , " 1 have not the slightest notion ; I am a perfect stranger here . " Well , " he continued , "I'll tell you ; you have brought a very unpopular introduction with you ; they take you for a recruit from your knapsack , and I assure you that knapsacks are anything but popular here just now , as the poor devils are starving , and unfortunately some of them have been shot : so take my advice , and change your knapsack for a carpet bag , and stick an Alpine through the handle when you get under way , as 1 suppose you are for a tramp . I wish I could go with
you , but there is no getting leave just now . " As soon as my friend had concluded his advice , I said" Weil , this is a happy meeting ; what , in the name of wonder , brought you this way ? " " 0 , " he replied , " the colonel expects a nephew of his , a cornet of ours , by the bont , and as he is a stranger , and rather soft , he asked me to meet him . " I described our hero , and he answered , " That's the man —that ' s Spillsby to the life . " " What sort of a fellow ishe ? "saidl . ** 0 a snob , " he replied , " very much like all other young cornets , with more money than brains , and more interest than accomplishments . " As we were engaged in this sort of conversation , who should strut towards us but the "GRUFF
MAN , " and his companion , and upon recognising them , Captain Barford saluted the former as Captain Squeezetenant < and rather familiarly , and the latter with a nod and " How do do Mr . Grub . " I remained until the captain and Mr . Grub had passed , and asked , is ; Captain Squeezetenant one of yours , and who is Mr . Grub ? " O no , " he replied , " God forbid , he ' s a middle man , and a captain of a yeomanry corp , and a magistrate in the western part of the county , and Grub is his solicitor ; Squeezetenant has recently taken a large tract of Lord Buttermilk ' s estate , and he ' s ousting
ihepoor devils like wild beasts , and has been over to see his Lordship to get a reduction in his rent in consequence of the failure of the PEOPLE'S POTATOES ; he ' s a horrid tyrant , but being an upstart , he courts the military and gentry , and being recently detached in his neighbourhood , he gave mc some capital shooting over his farms , and was rather civil , —he lives towards the mountains in the west , and if you think of going that way I'll give you a line to him , but you ' re not a sportsman , and I don ' t think you'd much relish his society . " I replied , "No , 1 have had quite enough of it on board , bat if there is any one else in that part of the country that you can send me to you'll oblige me ? " ' - ' Let me see , —yes , I can give you a letter to the" Rev , Mr . OTarrell , an
excellent person . " " Is he the clergyman I asked ?" "Yes , the parish priest , —a man of vast information , and a perfect gentleman , and as you travel for knowledge , he ' s just your man , but observe , you must show no reserve , he ' s proud as Lucifer , and made suspicious b y circumstances , —do you twig ? " I replied , "He ' s just the man ; God bless you , Burford , if you ' re not engaged will ymi run down , after mess and have an hour ' s chat . " " I will , where shall 1 find you ? " " That ' s a poser , "I replied , " where am 1 to go . " " Oh to the Clarence , and at nine I'll lj 2 with you : farewell , Malcolm ; " " Farewell , Burford , " and we parted to meet again at nine , Burfovd going in search of his colonel ' s drunken nephew , and I of my hotel .

Lately Despoiled Ot A Large Portion Ot B...
lately despoiled ot a large portion ot biaclc cloth , with which the pulpit had bsen hung in consequence of the death of Mrs . Taddy . Mr . Blissctt , the superintendent of the Ross police , was applied to , to discover the offenders , and having engaged a person of the name of Lawrence to assist him , an ingenious stratagem was put in execution . We quote the result from the Xonmoulhshire Advertiser . Suspicion having attached in the first instance to a blacksmith , named Probert , Lawrence went to Llantilio , dressid asabell-hangcr , | withliis basket of tools on his shoulder , to where he worked , lie went into
the smith ' s shop , and asked Probert to make him a punch ; while this was being done , Lawrence offered to sell the smith a brown coat , I ' rubert declined , and after some time , upon being pressed , he said he did not want any clothes , as he w « having a suit o-l black made at Mr . Jones ' s , at Ragland . This was the precise clue Lawrence wanted , and he soon afterwards proceeded to Mr . Jones ' s , the tailor , of that village . Of this person , we think it right to say that he has always born an irreproachable character for honesty and industry . Upon arriving at Jones ' s , Lawrence asked the wife and afterwards Jones himself , who entered the shop , if he could have a brown or a dark waistcoat made there . Jones said he had
not any brown cloth , but he could make him a black waistcoat , for which he would charge him 10 s . To this Lawrence assented , and preferred sixpence to bind the bargain , saying he would call on another day for the vest , and pay the remaining 0 \ s . 6 < 1 . He tht-n asked lor a pattern , which he took with him , and thus successfully accom plished trap the second . Lawrence , with other parties , then compared the pattern with the black cloth remaining in the church , . ¦ Hid it was found exactly to correspond . Upon ( lie following day he returned to Ragland , in company with Blisset , and producing a search warrant they took possession of the black cloth , still lying on the counter , and afterwards apprehended both Jones and Probert . The examination lasted several hours , and as its close all the prisoners were committed , but bail was immediately tendered for Mr . Jones , the taiior .

On Thursday week the deceased left home for a walk , and proceeded to the simp ot Mr . Stavkic , the chemist , of No . 4 , Strand , near Charing Cross , where he asked for some arsenic to kill rats with . Mr . St . trkie informed him that he did not kc .-p arsenic in the house iu consequence of it * dangerous qualities , but , at the same time added , that he had a powder for sale which would answer the same purpose . It was called "Butler ' s Vermin and Insect Killer , " which would cost him sixpence for a packet . The deceased purchased ono packet and then left the
shop , lie procsded home , and soon afterwards was sciz-id with pains in the stomach , when he acknowledged that he had taken poison , which he had obtained from Mr . Starkie . A messenger was dispatched for the family physician , who promptly attended , ami used every moans to save his ! i ! e , but thev were un availing . The deceased expired in two hours aftei - wards . Dr . M'Kcnzic subsequently made a post mortem examination of the body , and from the inllained state of the stomach he felt satisfied that death had arisen from arsenic . He likewise examined the powder , and discovered that ono of them contained sufficient arsenic to kill six men . Oilier evidence confirmatory to the above having been offered to the Jury , proving the deceased to have been labouring under some delusion of the mind , thev unanimously recorded a verdict of " Temporary Insanity , " with the following addition , " The Jury strongly condemn the sale of poisons in open shops without the best precautions bcinj adopted to prevent the frequent evil consequences of such sale . "

A Meeting Of Persons Anxious To Assist I...
A meeting of persons anxious to assist in the establishment of this new literary institution was liefd on Thursday , at the Hall of Commerce , Thraidncedlt ' -street , for the purpose of receiving thu report of the provisional committee uppuiated at a former meeting to consider the details of the plau recommended , aud to devise measures for bringing it into operation . Tire meeting was very numerously attended . The Ilsuort of the Committee described tho proposed institution us follows ;—It would have , not only its library and reading-room , but its lectures , classes for mutual and other instruction , and also its concerts ' , conversant , ni , and soirees , which latter , ns ladies will be specially invited to become members and visitors , will , it is believed , p : cuU < u ° ly tenil to the social and intellectual improvement of its mera
oers . Every facility and encouragement vvill bo given to recreative amusements . There will bo a handsome and well furnished house , open fiom early in the morning till late at night , fur the accomodation oi ' its members , where they may at all times obtain an abundant supply of all kinds of provisions , of tho best quality , at the lowest possible price ; and two or three tables d'hote will be arranged daily , at such hours as to suit the convenience of as nviny members as possible . It cannot be denied that lit-. u-ary institutions , when well conducted , furnish most of the advantages first named ; while on the other , the west-end clubs supply the lattrr ; and a little rttlcetiou will tLow , that , while uniting the whole in one institution gives double advantages to the members , it actually works an economy of expense . For example : many parts of the same building are
applicable to both purposes ; one external wall , one roof , one secretary , one management , and , therefore to a considerable extent , one expense will suffice for wliatarenow SC » pnrate establishments ; while , from tho very large numbers which it is hoped and . believed will unite to attain objects so deiirabla , the results or tlieir co-operation cannot but bu to reduce the cost to an extent hitherto practicable . Kor Will that be the only ailVimlilge Of tilO union . The useful classes of society , for whom the Wllittington Club is designed , have little time to spars . It is essential that tho place where are the classes , tho library , the reading-room , iu a word , all the means and appliances of intellectual culture , that are to be Of genuine service to them , should con tain a ! . * o the necessaries of physical sustenance ; since neither their time nor strength will allow them to seek both , if in separate places . Upon a calculation of the probable income and
expense , it appears that many young men iu London would be able to defray their annual subscriptions out of the saving effected by ceasing to pay waiters' fees alone , and might thus assist in carrying out tho above important objects without additional outlay to themselves . The report concluded by recommending tho following scale of subscriptions : —Life members , 10 guineas ; members resident or having a place of business within seven miles of the General t'ost-onice , an entrance fee of 10 s ( id , and ail annual fee of one guinea . Ladies , no euiranec fee , and an annual subscription of hall ' -a- ^ ninea . AU mibers not resident within seven miles of the General 1 ' ost-Olllce , half the above amount . Advantages were also proposed to bo given to the members of other literary institutions throughout the kingdom , The report was received with loud cheers , and was unanimously adopted .
Several resolutions were agreed to , and a committee ofiiftean was appointed , and directed to report to the first meeting of the members , to bo held on tlie 23 th instant .
