TO DANIEL O ' CONNELL
Sir,—Upon The12th Of August, 183g, Now M...
Sir , —Upon the 12 th of August , 183 G , now more than ten years ago , tou told your slavish dupes at ihe Corn Exchange , thai 1 was unworthy of the confidence ofthe Irish people , and that whenever tbe _struggle came between the people and their enemies that I should be found in the RANKS FIGHTING AGAINST THEM . From that hour to the present I have watered your every movement , and although I was convinced of your weakness _, your cowardice , ana your insincerity , yet I never for once permitted my own feelings to withhold support even of you , to sustain you in a
_struggle to which I had hoped to nail you . _"Whenever Ihe principles of a domestic legislature were attache d by the hireling press of England , I was their first , their boldest , nay , their only advocate , and vhen Ireland ' s enemies bad entrammelled you _wi thin the meshes of the Sason law , I forgot your man ifold acts of insolence towards myself and my _family and I tried to forget the infamy in which you had attempted to shroud the honoured names of those devoted heroes whose lives were sacrificed in
their country ' s cause . Our chief rallied round yon all the svmpathies of the English working classes , who , in the moment of danger , nobly forgot your many acts of treason towards thera . There was then an O pportunity afforded you of confessing error and receiving forgiveness ; but living in a mist of _misconcep tion , prejudice , and ignorance , you dreaded the _Ijirnt that would dispel the halo , and lest English sympathy and kindness should have destroyed Irish _j"B 0 rance and prejudice , yonr first act upon return to _vonr dupes was once more to revile the dreaded
C hartists . You are a purchaser with notice of yonr present humiliation . If you have read my several letters to Mr . O'Malley upon your future destiny , however unpalatable the confession , you must come to the _inclusion , that I have been a prophet ; whilst you must also admit that I have not been hasty in seeking vengeance for your manifold acts of treason to my country , of insult to my family , and insolence to myself . But I told yon , old man , that the day would assuredly 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 , pinch 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 ; bnt unlike most others , I shall not have to offer the apology of opposition based upon spleen , to insure my own acquittal . Tor fifteen years I bave lived in the very vortex of Irish and English agitation , and the records of my several acts will furnhh the strongest evidence in refutation of your
fabricated charges . You will 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 _roa fo substantiate a single charge of treachery to my country , or \ iolation of my principles . "Yes , ar , if you know anything of human nature and of honest pride , -which I much doubt , you must have felr conscious that although I was patient , yet I was resolute—yon mnst have presumed " that I would not have remained a suspected outlaw beyond the limits assigned by prudence . You had cunning enough to know that , though daring , I would nothave hazarded
my character upon the certainty of defeat through the wild howl of prejudice : but , sir , I now give you notice , that the hour cometh 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 _-fl-asy pretext of having denounced aud 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 you in the battle of might against right r The struggle of nationality and THE PEOPLE has now commenced ia soo _« l earnest , and where is tbe verification of your prophecy of ten years ago , that I would be found in the rauks fighting against them ; of course , _inferliu _; that you would be foremost in the battle ranks of _rhht . Where are we now , sir ? I am strong in 1 he affections of the people of a whole nation , in whose hearts I have sown the seed of Irish
affection , though outlawed , while I am growing into that esteem of my own countrymen of which you had hoped to deprive me , and from wLieh you are yourself being routed . "Where are TOU ? you are meanly drivelling your weak nmsives to your subservient menials , in the hope of throwing upon 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 _Ireiaud ' 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 Eexecutive ; hut 1 tell vou to take warning by the cries of
hunger and the savage vengeance of those who have sustained you with the parings from their scanty board , in the hope of the realization of your flafterha promises . In truth , Sir , the Irish appear determined on having Ireland without your assistance . I was moved to laughter at your last appeal , addressed to your hireling , in which you recommend ihe laying aside of all party distinctions ; but I sneered at your "OU _. NCE OF CIVET , " administered ti Mr . Osborne , in leturn for his vulgar language-Ah : 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 , desolat ion , and woe , a proper expenditure of the funds that you have wrung from confiding poverty for the hat thirty years would have enabled you to locate o :: e million of her sons in houses of their own , upon land of their own for ever , from which no Saxon law or domestic oppressor could eject them . Aud such a population of honest Irish yeomen would
have preserved their God from the _blasphemy of a Saxon Archbishop by banishing famine from the huid . But patriots with an " itchy" palm thrive best oa national suffering . The confiding slave will hazard bis last shilling at the gambling table in the hope of increasing his hoard , or , at the worst , in losing but little ; while the man of substance and COaifort will see value before be gives payment _, _iou boast of vour sacrifices , while you have
"pensioned your pauper Hannibals upon the taxes wrung from your bleeding country . You T _« adc your devotion in having preferred £ 30 , 000 a Tear and iuc charm of popularity to . 0 . 000 a year 2 _iitl drud gery of office , but I speak not of sacrifice , _35 1 consider no offering too great for the restoration cf ay country ' s liberty , and to secure that I yet _fcp-re , ami in despite of your power and the silent _Monopoly of yenr competing press , I -will once more _K ' _tf the standard of liberty and llepeal upon the _^ umain . top and by the sea side , and gather rouud it _^ hailood ofl'EACEFUL RESOLVE AND MOIIAL _1 ' 0 v , yek as W _jji _s _^ p V Our _pjgmy resistance , and _* _hat of your prostitute subordiuates , like dust before _^ wiad . _Ioiditbeforeandrildoitagain .

IRELAND . 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 , aud had seen some little of Asia . On 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 _aaxonstituting the daily and weekly stock subject of the press . "When I left upon my travels in
IS 43 , 1 , like many others , had strong hope in Ireland ' s better days , from the magnanimous display of her moral power and physical strength , marshalled , exhibited , and _csntrolled 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 wedded , and to which the national resolve was nailed aud CLENCHED , as an act of Ministerial insanity , either provoked by pride , or per .-evered 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 whom , in return , it dispensed patronage .
1 had wituessed partial distress in many countries ; but , then , it was estimated rather by comparison with the usual mode of living than by positive want . 1 had seen apparently barren hills , in the most forbidding climes , peopled in some instances to the very summit , yieldiug ihe peasant an ample store for his and his family ' s frugal subsistence , from moderate and healthy labour ; and , hearing of the fertility ot Ireland ' s fields , her sheltered and productive valleys , genial climate , and insular position ; inviting commerce with the world , in the most valuable produee : 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 ef labour in our streets and docks , and ia constructing our railways and rearing onr 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 mor . -el were ready to dare 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 thesa pros and & _- » ns I was seized with a misgiving , as well with regard to the causes of distress assigned by the press , as touching the remedies suggested by the philanthropist , or the responsible , and therefore alarmed . Thin perplexed , and anxious to solve the riddle , I once more mounted my trusty roadster— Shanksmarc — 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 _adjomcounties of Waterford and Limerick being represented as the most destitute and turbulent .
Being one of those tourists who seta proper _ralue upon the decent and polite observance of , and deference to , national manners and customs , and even prejudices , I resolved upon gleaning as _imuch informatio as passible respecting Ireland and the Irish , and with this view I adopted the surest course 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 tbe passage ; nor was it till the cloth was removed after dinner that I heard a syllable breathed upon the
subject that filled _^ e ry mouth shore ; then 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 , te the south of Ireland , to put down 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 long , and he hoped in God he'd only ? et orders to charge and he'd give them some cold steel . This observation , to my surprise , created a loud and general laugh , and was responded to bvan elderly gruff- ooking man , with an
approving nod , and , " Aye , and serve them right too , sir . " There were many fashionable-looking women y f the party , 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-Irish 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 , ana 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 _beeoming participants in the general plunder promised by Mr . O'Connell , OF IRELAND TO THE IRISII . Our youthful military hero , from the excitement of admiration , and considerably as _> isted by refreshers from the bottle , was speedily consigned to the sofa , and became the espeeial care of the ladies , who _isade bis head comfortable , and wrapped liimup snugly in a boat cloak , furnished cheerfully by the
ti _fiiiTT-r _» r » * * ¦ - _» 91 ' il ii . _. 1 1 a" 1 r * I . _a "GRUFF MAN , " with the declaration by G—he would spend his last shilling , and share his last crust with thatd—dfiue " young chap . " "These are the sort of nien _. Sir , " he continued , addressing himself to me , " 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 , and I'll answer for
the tranquillity of the country . " Though almost provoked to a remark by this sanguinary observation ! yet the recollection that listeners always profited hy their silence , curbed me , and I merely nodded . This sort of conversation was continued to a late hour , when the several passengers retired io their respective berths , myself among the number . The reader may easily imagine that the account given of the country which I was about to visit , caused me 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 , vras our hero still stretched on the sofa , _with an anxious female attendant on either side , while he" freely returned the compliments of the bottle , with a casual ejaculation of " D-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 by 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 neared the metropolis of the South , where for miles either bank of the river is studded with the princely mansions ofthe Cork merchants , which I confess in some de gree accounted for the reported barrenness of e qually good land in the interior , but which I conjectured had been stripped of its wealth to enrich tbe hoarded treasure ef those who by the process of barter , bave 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 ofthe drone . At length we landed , and were subjected to all the usual hurly 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 ratt'ing 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 ! " Wha : \ Captain Burford ? " I returned in an ecstacy of delight at once more meeting an old and dear friend , in whose charming society I had j-assed so many happy days , and from whose store ot knowledge I had gleaned so much useful information , and who bad been my companion through many a mountain pass . As we were engaged " in this to _miwelcome recognition , I thought the crowd still eyed
me rather disparagingly , and made the remark to my triend , who replied , with one of his joyous laughs , "Aud don ' t you know why ? " "No , " I said , '' I 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 I 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" Well , 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 boat , 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 is he ? " said I . "Oa 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 Burford saluted the former as Captain Squcezetenant 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 Squeezetenanfc one of yours , and who is Mr . Grub ? " 0 no , " he replied , " God forbid , he's a middle man , and a _ciptain 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
the poor 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 me some capital shooting over his farms , _andivas 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 tnink you'd much relish his soeiety . " I replied , "No , I have had quite enough of it on board , but if there is any one else in that part of the country that you can send me to you'lloblige me V " Lefme see , —yes , I can give you a letter to the Rev . Mr . _O'Farrell , an
excellent person . " "Is he the clergyman I asked ?" " Ye 3 , the parish pricst , —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 hy circumstances , —do you twig V 1 replied , "He ' s just the man ; God bless you , Burford , if you ' re not engaged will you run down after mess and bave an hour's chat . " " I will , where shall 1 find you ? " " _Thate a poser , " I replied , " where am I to go . " " Oh to the Clarence , and at nine I'll be with you : farewell , Malcolm ; " "Farewell , Burtord , " and we parted to meet again at nine , llurford going in search of his colonel ' s drunken nephew , and I of my hotel .

Blissett , the superintendent of the Ross police , was applied to , to discover the offenders , and Living engaged a person of the name of Lawrence to assist him , an ingenious stratagem was put in execution . We quote the result from the Monmouthshire Advertiser . Suspicion having attached in the first instance to a blacksmith , named Prohert , Lawrence went to Llantilio , dressed as a bell . hanger _. _Jwith his basket of tools on his shoulder , to where he worked . He 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 . Probert declined , and after some time , upon being pressed , he said he did not want any clothes , as he Was having a suit of 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 sav that he has always born an irreproachable chaiacter 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 , buthecould 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 9 s . Od . He then asked lor a pattern , which he took with him , and thus successfully accomplished trap the second . Lawrence , with other parties , then compared the pattern with the black cloth remaining in the church , and it was found exactly to correspond . Upon the following day he returned to Ragland , in company with Blisset , and producing a search warrant thev took possession of the black cloth , still lying on the counter , and afterwards apprehended both Jones and Probert . The examination lasted several hours , and at its close all the prisoners were committed , but bail was immediately tendered for Mr . Jones , the tailor _.

Never wa < help more happily bestowed , as they seem likely , by affording ample nourishment , to add a little to the days of our friend . The malady under which he suffers is a tumour in the region oi the stomach . The surgeons dare not venture on its removal , his weakness and age forbid , lie is in his 72 nd year .

Suicide of a Gentleman- with Rat Poison . —On
.Monday An Inquest Was Held On The Body ...
. Monday an inquest was held on the body ot Mr . Charles _Tathiini , aged forty-one years , lately residing at No , 52 , Stanhope Street , who had committed suicide . The deceased was connected with a large firm in _Holborn , who carries on business as army accoutrement makers . For somo months past he had been in a low and desponding state of mind . On Thursday week the deceased left home for a walk , and proceeded to the shop ol Mr . Starkie , the chemist , of No . i , Strand , near Charing Cross , where lie asked for some arsenic to kill rats with . Mr . Starkie informed him that he did not keep arsenic in the house in consequence of its dangerous qualities , but , at the same time added , that he bad 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 paeket and then left the shop , lie preceded home , and soon afterwards was seized with pains in tho stomach , when he acknowledged that be had taken poison , which lie had ob tained from Mr . Starkie . A messenger was dispatched for the tamily physician , who promptly attended , aud used every means to save his lite , but they were un availing . The _deceased expired in two hours afterwards . Dr . _M'Kenzic subsequently made a post
mortem examination of the body , aud from the in-Uamed state of the stomach he felt satislieil that death had arisen from arsenic . He likewise examined tho powder , and discovered that one 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 somo delusion of the mind , they unanimously recorded a verdict of " Temporary _Ins anity , " with the following addition , " Tho Jury trongly condemn tho sale of poisons in open shops without tho best precautions being adopted to pre-Ycnt tlie frequent _eyil _consgauences of such sale , ''

A Meeting Of Persous Anxious To Assist I...
A meeting of persous anxious to assist in the establishment of this new literary institution was held on Thursday , at the Hall of Commerce , _Thruadneedlc-street _, for the purpose of receiving ihe report of the provisional committee appointed at ' a former meeting to consider the details of the plan recommended , and to duvise measures for bringing it into operation . Tliu meeting was very numerou _^ y ntttiided . The Report of the Committee described the proposed institution ns follows : — It would have , not only its library and reading room , bnt its lectures , classes for mutual nnd other inuruction , and also its concerts , _couvci-siuri ni , and soirees , which latter , as ladies will be specially invited to become members andvisitois . will , it is believed , peculiarly tend to the social and intellectual improvement ofits inum-
Bers. Every Facility And Encouragement W...
bers . Every facility and encouragement will be given to recreative amusements . There will be a handsome and well furnished house , open ti om early in tlie morn _, ing till late at night , for tbe accomodation ofits members , where they mav at all times obtain an abundant supply of all kinds of provisions , of the best quality , at _tliclonest possible ( . rice ; and tiro or three tables d'hote will be arranged daily , at such hours as to suit the convenience of as many members as possible . It cannot bo denied that literary institutions , when well conducted , t ' _uriiifh most of the advantages first named ; while on the other , the west-end clubs supply the latter ; and a little n-tlcction will show , that , while uniting the whole in one institution gives double advantages to the members , it actually works an economy of expense . For example - . many _navts 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 suflk-u for what arcnow se _« purate establishments ; while , from the very large numbers which it is hoped and believed will unite to attain oljtcts so _desirabltf _, the results of their co-operation cannot but be to reduce the cost to an extent hitherto practicable . Nor will tlint be tin- on _' y _advantage of the union . The useful classes of society , for whom the IViiittington Club is designed , have little time to .= pare . It i < essential that the place where are tlie classes , the _lilii-ary , the _reading room , in a mint , all the means aud appliances of intellectual culture , that are to be of . -. ¦ inline service lo them , should contain also the _ncccsiai-ti-i _i-f pliysicil sustenance ; since neither their lime inn- > _ti-e ! ii . 'th will allow them to seek boib , if in separate _piuct-s . Upon a calculation _M tlie probable income and
expense , it appeals that many young men in London would be able to defray tilth- annual subscription * out of the saving effected by _erasing to pay waiters'fees alone , and might thus _assist in earry ' . ng out the above important objects without additional outlay to thcm > elves _« The report concluded by recommending the lollowing scale of subscriptions : —Life mem hers , lOguineas ; _members resident or having a place of business within seven miles ofthe General l'ost-nflice , an enti since lee of 10 s ( id . and an annual fee of one guinea . Ladies , no uitraneo fee , and an annual subsetiptiou of lialt-n- _^ uiiieii . Members not resident within seven miles ofthe _( _Kiiei-al _L'ostoflice , half the above amount . Advantages weiie also proposed to be 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 co-. nmittea of fifteen was appointed , and directed to _aepoi-. t to tha first meeting of the members , to be htU on . tho - - _'Dtli instant .
