      TO THE CHARTISTS . _„„ THER ? , —The devil has shown his cloven *" ar as it is necessary that you should be i m ' a possession , not only of what occurs in _P" Wou « e of Commons , but how it occurs—as _^ _-e'is much in manner—it is my duty to delone to you the proceedings of Tuesday vht and . f / rom their plain recital you will _^ a to the conclusion that I was right in tie _Ornate that I formed of the zeal and intenf ? n ffl of the FOUR POINT HUMBUGS . _Vfgm Ifr Cobden ' s speech ,, you would infer ihat Mr Hume acted with judgment and _disret'on i » postponing Ms motion , not at a _^ u arter past eleven o ' clock , as he states , but at Ibven o ' clock precisely .

      < _Tt . -r -11 1 1 J ? L- _firSfln . —I will analyse his discretion upon * * bi _= i point , ar . d Secondly . —I w _"i prove that the whole _jjjjnp ; was a dodge , as the motion was given ¦ no _? and so entered upon the paper at the _Ajjlr , at twenty-five minutes past nine o ' clock . ' Yi TStiu . —A . s regards the hour by which _-yr Gobden would measure Mr Hume's discretionfit that hour there was a fuller house than one usually sees , and there was all hut a unanimous desire that Mr Hume should proceed It is customary to bring on important ques tions at any hour when the house is prepared to listen ; and as we did sit till twenty minutes

      ¦ io t wo o ' clock , it is not a stretch of imagination -to-pres ume that , upon so important a question at so critical a period , the hoase would have listened attentively till three o ' clock , thus allowing four speakers—two for , and two _against , the motion—an hour each , and then the deba te might have been adjourned , which would have afforded an opportunity of resuming the debate next week , instead of making it a dropp ed motion , and making it necessary to postpone it till the 20 th of June . This course would have brought out two of the advocates and two of the opponents of the measure , and would have relieved the coantry at once of all doubt as to the sincerity of their friends , and

      the grounds upon which their enemies rested their opposition . Now this , I contend , would have been the manly—the dignified — the straightforward course , had the propounders of the measure been sincere in their project . Moreover , to the honouroithelrishMembers be it spokei , many had come over purposely with the view of taking part in the debate , and supporting tbe motion , while all the Liberal Irish Members were , as they stated to

      me , prepared to remain all night if necessary , to aid the English people in obtaining this instalment ; and I assure you , Chartists , that I gained great courage from the feelings that I heard expressed by the Irish Members , and many English Members , in favour of the whole animal . So much for the prudence of bringing on the question and adjourning the debate to next week , in preference to postponing it for a mortal month—to tbe 20 th of June . And now for the _praof of the intention of the patty not to bring it on at all .

      At twenty-five minutes past nine a Member came into " the House and said to me , and Others , "So , Hume s motion is postponed !" 7 _Te were incredulous ; but he assured us that it was entered in the paper , in the entrance to tbe House—the usual mode of giving such

      nonces . _Isow _, I haye taken the time at which we heard the news as the time at which it was entered upon the paper , but very probably it had been entered there long before , and this I shrewdly suspect , from the fact of Mr Hume being in consultation with Ministers and Peefites , at different times , before that hour . Chartists , again mark the fact , that , had it not been for Milner Gibson provoking a reply from Lord George Bentinck , upon an unopposed motion , Mr Hume s motion might have conie on at ten o ' clock . Now I have answered Cobden ' s compliment to Hume ' s discretion , and I have also shown that it was not Hume ' s intention to bring on

      the motion at all at twenty-five minutes past nine , as the meaning of entering his intention upon the paper is to give notice to the supporters of a motion that they need not remain in attendauce . And now a word as to Cobden . In a very short speech he told two thumpers . Firstly , in order to prove the discount at which mv principles stood in the House of

      Commons , he said I stated in the Convention that in my absence there was only one man to support my princip les in the House ; whereas , what I did state was , "That when I was abused in my absence Lord Castlereagh was the only man who protested against the abuse of an absent Member ; and surely Lord _Castlereajrh is not an advocate of my principles . ' ' That ' s ' thumper the first—and a palpable thumper—made for the purpose of castiug disrespect upon the Chartist cause .

      Thumper the second . He said , although he retracted it—and I have a better ear than the gods in the gallery—that he met me in nearly every market " . town in England upon the question of Free Trade , whereas , I only met him at Northampton and MALTA , and at ons of those places ! beat him , and at the ether he beat himself . But he tried to shove it off , by saying it was my followers he met ; so that / though they are the contemptible few . they worried him in every market town in England . He said , I had been lavish in my praise of him , while every man who reads the Star will remember the extent to which that praise went .

      What I said was , that when I met Cobden at Northampton , I discovered signs of kindness _, philanthropy , and _humanity in his countenance , and that I would never abuse him again . Now that was the extent of my praise —praise which 1 now regret having bestowed , as the inner man belies the outer form . It is true tbat I said I should rather see Cobden the leader of this MIDDLE-CLASS QUADRUPED than Hume . But why was it ? Because , as 1 have frequently stated , Hume was one ofthe seven crutches always at the command of rotten Whiggery , from the year 1833 to the year 1841 . He and six others _^ ere eternally courting popularity , by demanding an extension of popular rights , bst when

      the Government that opposed them was in danger , these seven crutches were always at their command . So much for my praise of Cobden . And now , after the manner of Plutarch , I will give my opinion of him by comparison with _Bright , whom 1 was in the habit of abusing . Until 1 saw the two gentlemen in the cockpit I could not form a just estimate of their relative powers—report , which is a fickle jade , gave Cobden the pre-eminence , as an orator and a debater . I have now , however , had six months' experience , and , regardless of the consequences of praising a Free Trader , I now declare , that , as an orator and a aebater , Cobden isto Bright as a horse chestnut _w to a chestnut horse .

      Apologising , then , to the Honourable Member for the West Riding , for Laving praised ids noble mien and bold exterior , I assure him 1 shall not again commit the blunder of attem pting to judge the inner man by his showboard . _^ Chartists , I told vou that you would be jugn _itd . 1 now teli you that you are juggled . I _? _- * 'il tell you that they never intended to bring ¦ n th- _c-iiestion _, but merely intended to use -t ns Repeal was used fin Ireland—as a bug--jfdbori to frighten the Government into a _reaction of taxation , ar . d which would not : ift X * i ' ' j ' - red one farthing benefit upon you . Chartists vou must know that I had not

      _^ _r- ' - _'nt of replying to the Free Trader , J : -env _!^ . j promise you , I would have made ' _^ a * . look queer . But " now , mark—this fellow g i _* , eentLe greatest enemy the Chartists have _J _^ L _^' - _i ' _-nd now , when a fresh opportunity _<*> aau rded , he comes out under his old colours . tiere is the question you must put to your-

      To The Chartists. „„ Ther?, —The Devil H...

      selves ; If an undefined thing—FREE TRADE —is worth SEVENTY THOUSAND POUNDS , what would ii be worth to throw all the taxes on other shoulders , and to reduce wages upon the pretext of cheap food r Chartists , for fifteen years I have been telling you that a paid patriot is nothing more nor less than a shopkeeper with wares to sell ; and I now tell you , as I told you in the outset , that if Labour ' s work is to be done / it must be done by the labourers , and not by those who fatten upon their toil . " A 3 well may tho lamb with the tiger unite _. The mouse with the cat . or the lark with the kite . "

      Chartists , the Free Trade leader , whom you beat for seven years , has called you MYRMIDONS , and says that you are but a rabble section of the labouring class .

      "UP , THEN , CHARTISTS , AND AT THEM !" I t & ld you , in the commencement of the Free Trade agitation , that your apathy alone could place Free Trade in the ascendant . Their object was to show that Chartism merged into Free Trade , and that that boon should be conceded to the popular will ] and now you' will find that Cobden has shown the cloven-foot too soon , and that their _cJjjSbt is . to use .. popular enthusiasm , and even fury , for *' the sinister purpose of prevailing upon the House of Commons to _an-est that enthusiasm and fury by granting all that is really required by the industrious and well-disposed portion of the working classes—a reduction of taxation .

      Chartists , if we were ia doubt before , the veil is now drawn . _t 3 o to every meeting ; insult no man , put down no man , hear every man ; and , as public meetings are called for the purpose of testing public opinion , if you prefer tbeSEXIPEDE , or " _sis-legged animal that you know , to the quadruped that is spavined , ringhoned , clapped in the back sinews , and foundered—start your animal in every race , and , my life on it , he will win .

      Well , but , as of yore , they are beginning to call ticket meetings , as a means testing public opinion—that is , they are _empanneliing their own jury to try their own case . Well , as the Free Trader confessed that my MYRMI DONS worried him for seven years , the policy that annoys the enemy must be good , and he is a bad tactician who plays the game of his opponent . Therefore , as they have again resorted to this packed mode of testing public opinion , let me see if I can discover a remedy . Whenever a ticket meeting takes place , an out-door meeting should be held in the immediate neighbourhood—in fact , as near as possible to the iurv box , and it should be held

      contemporaneously . Now , believe me , that the broken shopkeepers and the small manufacturers ; who have been ruined , or are being ruined , will go with you but then , at your meetings , you must get speakers who thoroughly understand the Labour Question , and who will be able to show that Labour would derive no possible advantage from the reduction of taxation , unless represented in the House of Commons—and , above and before all , keep this great fact in mind , that the object of the new movers is to place their bubble in tbe ascendant , and to persuade the world that Chartism is dead—and _hencs Cobden ' s attempt to make a split between perfumed and unalloyed Chartism .

      Chartists , in 1 S 42 , afc theSfcurge Conference , we refused to give up even the name ; and now that every country in Europe is adopting every point ofthe Charter , and when the Labour Question is the one question that puzzles every statesman in Europe , and when jou , the English working classes , are better instructed in that question than any other people in the world , are you , whose princip les can be most beneficially applied for the general good of society , prepared to accept the shadow , and , like the dog , lose the substance ? Now mind the four legs of the quadruped : Off fore leg—H-O-U-S E , a thing to live in—H * 0-U-S-E , a thing to vote out of .

      Near fore leg—Triennial Parliaments . Now , from the year 1833 to the year 1847 , both inclusive , is fifteen years , and within that period we have had five parliaments—that is exactly Triennial Parliaments ; but I may be told that in these cases the death was sudden , and left no chance for a deathbed repentance . To this I answer , " Humbug ! " But what is still more curious , from the year 183 S to the year 1841 , nine years , both inclusive , we had four parlia ments— nearly biennial parliaments — and judge ofthe men from their measures . Off hind leg— The Ballot . The ladle without the soup . The mask for the hypocrite .

      Near hind leg—Not Eq ual Electoral Districts , but adding to the constituencies of large towns _disfrancbisingsmaliboroughs , and giving a larger number of representatives to the great manufacturing towns ; and I should like to see how many would vote for the friend of labour against the friend of capital at those masquerades . Now , Chartists , how do you think this limping , halting , _galled jade , would carry industry upon its back ? I'll tell you—you'd be the crupper to the Free Trade saddle , and when the animal cocked his tail , you'd have vour share of the loaf .

      Verily , those Free Traders imagine that they are going to frighten me with the dread of being left alone in my g lory ; but I would much rather sit firmly upon the _six-legged animal , amid their scoffs and jeers , than receive their cheers and applause upon the baulking jade that would not even start , but turned tail when the word , "AWAY" was given . Chartists , as I don ' t wish to be considered ferocious , at foot I give you my speech and Mr Cobden ' s ; they are both taken without the alteration of a word from the Morning Chronicle—and can you see the ferocity in my speech r

      True , I am not paid for cautious words and for measured language . 1 speak my feelings on behalf of an oppressed people . He offers his wares for sale in the supplicating tone of the butcher ' s wife at the close of a hot day ' s market , when the broken bits won ' t keep" Buy , buy , buy . '' But , Chi ' _irtista _, I never seek the battle nor shun it when it comes , and as Cobden has called you " Myrmidons , " " a small insignificant and very powerless party , " " an organised faction of the verv smallest dimensions" —before

      Saturday , London shall be placarded with my challenge to Richard Cobden , inviting him to meet me in Wakefield , the nomination town for the West Riding of Yorkshire , on Whitsun-monday—a day when his supporters cannot lock up their hands—and there to test the speed of the animals , and to show upon whose side are the " M yrmidons , " and upon whose side is " the smallest possible faction . " Now , then , this course will test his judgment and his veracity ; and if the four-legged animal wins , I will take it as a fair test of public

      opinion , and will then back the quadruped . Now , surely , this is not blinking the question upon my part , tbe more especially when I am prepared to surrender the pleasure of witness in _° " the location of the occupants at Snig ' s End , for the purpose of availing m ; elf of a holidav fur the West Fading Derby , and from thence I go to Sheffield on Whit-Tuesday , to give a description of the running . I remain , Brother Chartists , An advocate of the whole animal , name and all , Feargus O'Connor .

      To The Chartists. „„ Ther?, —The Devil H...

      Here are the speeches from the Chronicle , and I beg your attention to the following sentence , which is reported exactly as it was delivered : — ' "I HAVE SET HIM PUBLICLY AND POLITICALLY AT DEFIANCE , AND I HAVE NEVER FAILED TO BEAT THE HONOURABLE MEMBER BY A VOTE IN PUBLIC ASSEMBLIES , IN THE OPEN AIR , IN ALMOST EVERY COUNTRY IN THE

      KINGDOM . " Of course ' country' is a misprint for ' county , ' but I give it as I find it in the Chronicle ,. and I ask you , knowing that I had not the rightiof reply , can there be a , doubt upon any raan-s mind that Cobden hoped that the assertion would serve the-immediate purpose of con vincing the House that Free Trade had killed Chartism before , when led on by me ; and that the threat of the quadruped would again destroy Chartism , when taxation was reducedf .

      REPRESENTATIVE REFORM . _IrtrHuHE-: lam very sorry , air , to fay , that at this late hour , it being now past eleven o ' clock , I shall not bei able to proceed . with the motion of which I have eiverr noticB . _'" Mr _G'Cskxob : Go on , go on . Mr Hume : I know _the-magnitude and importance of the duty I have undertaken ; and I know , very well , that in the time before me 1 shall not be able to state the grounds ofthe motion , which I wish to make as clear as possible . Mr O'Coskob : Go on , go on . ( Cries of ' Order . '; Mr Hcmb : How eao I go on ? Let ms speak for

      _rnysetf . I have been here the whole of the evening , anxious and willing to bring en the motien . I am disappointed , and consequently , however anxious I ma ; be for tbo discussion , and no man can be more anxious for it than I am , I shall be obliged to postpone it . The only day I find upon the order book upon whioh I can bring it on , ia the 20 th Jane ( ironical cheers from the opposition berchea ) ; and on that day I will certainly bring it forward , in the hope that it will then meet with no impediment . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr O ' _Coxsor .: quite agree , sir _.

      The Speaker : There ia no question before the house . Mr O'Connob : Then I move that this houso do now adjourn . I quite agree , sir , with the hon . Member for _Montiose , thafc we should allow him to speak for himself ; but I hope that in future he will not undertake to speak for the _osuntry . On a former occasion I came . at my great personal _inconvenience frem a great distance to support a motion of the hon . member for Montrose , lie withdrew that motion , and I then told him that he had deceived tne for the first time ; but that if he deceived me a second time the fault should be my own . ( Laughter . ) It is quite evident to me that the hon . member for _Oxfordshire ( Mr Henley ) was quite right

      when he Baid this mction vas merely a tub to the whale . There is no question of greater _importance than that of which the hon . member for Mdntr _, se gave notice of for to-night ; and I dare say . there are many honourable members prepared to support it , in better health than I am at this moment ; but it was my intention _toi' remain here till the close of the debate , whatever might be the consequences . ( Laughter . ) The hon . member for Montrose having asked the working classes now to fraternise with the middle classes , and the working classes having corns to the conclusion to abate a great portion of these principles which I have always earnestly and _indefatigably advocated for them , I do not think they have been well treated , flad it not _baen for

      the assurances of the hon . member fer Montrose that he woa ' d bring on tbis measure tho first opportunity , I should haVB persevered with mine ; but bow , after the high expectations that have been held out to the eonntry , after the assurance that the middle classes were ready to plead for the working classes , and after the working clasEea had been deluded by the middle classes , I auk the bon . member for Montrose if he thinks it likely that I , for one , or the working classes generally , willany longer confide in him ? ( Hear . ) I have told him , and the party with whom he acts } tha' if they want ttrhavethe confidence of the people , tbey must take a determined stand upon this question . They have been juggling the people for the last month—they have now postponed their

      motion for a month ; whereas , if the hon . member for _Montrsse had brought it forward , the debate might Save been adjourned to an early day , and then the people would have believed him to be really in earnest . By my advice the country has tolerated this movement _.-\ The country has made great _sacrifices for it , bj having abandoned the larger , for the purpose ot the sense of the bouse being taken upon the minor , principle . 1 do not , then , wonder at hon . gentlemen opposite thinking tbey have aohieved a great triumph when , in the present state of the house this motion ia abandoned , I do not wonder at them casting aome derision upon the position in which tho hon ° member for Montrose has placed himself and his friends . I say to the hon . member 1 will not again ba a party to such a ' mockery , delusion , and

      snare ; ' and I will not again bo a party to recommend the working classes blindly to confide their own principles to , or to place confidence in , men who in my soul and conscience I believe enly intend to use them for their own purposes . ( Lond cheers from the Opposition benches . ) I have never been a party to any delusion either in this house or out of this house ( ironical _cheeraj / _. and I never will be ; and if the question had been put * is it the pleasure of this house that the motion ba withdrawn , ' if I had walked into the lobby alone I should have voted againstit . Again , I say . the country will not be satisfied with the hon . member for _Mentrose having postponed hi 3 motion , and again I say I agrea with the honourable member for Oxfordshire that it was nothing but a 'tub to the whale . ' ( Opposition cheers . )

      Mr Bbight seconded the motion of the adjournment aa a matter of form . Mr Cobden : There can be bat one opinion , I think , on the part of every sincere and honest mar , in the houBe and in the country , that my honourable friend , the member for Montrose , is entirely _bKmelesi for the delay which haB taken place _inr-ringinp on his motion . No reasonable man will suppose that any one , having the conduct of so important a question , would bring it before the house after a quarter past eleven at night . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) The object of my honourable friend is , that this important question may be fully discussed ; and if he had began at

      five o clock in the afternoon , I question whether this one evening would have been sufficient for a full discussion . ( Hear , hear . ) The honourable gentleman wbo has just sat down has undertaken to give advice in not very courteous or complimentary terms to my hon . friend . Now if I nii _^ ht" presume to give advice to my hon friend , the member for Montrose , it would be this—that in the condnot of this important question he will not follow the advice , Btill less tbe example , of an honourable member who calls himself the leader efthe working classes of this conntro who hasundertakennowfor nine years to lead them in the advocacy ofthe People ' s C tarter-Mr O'Connor : For fifteen years now .

      Mr CGbden : For fifteen years ! 1 believe the honourable gentleman himself stated the other day , at a _moating ( i his Convention , that , after fifteen years' leadership , in the advocacy of the People's Charter , he had but one man in the House of Com mon he could depend upon , in his absence , to advocate his principles . ( Several honourable members bere cried , ' name , name . ' ) One honourable membar was mentioned , but I do not know who i * was . ( Laughter . ) I think that one fact alone is _sufficient to w « ra my honourable friend the member for _Moatros- ? , bow he borrows his tactics from the honourable member for Nottingham ; and I think , too , that if anything can open the eyes of the working classes nf this country to a just _ssnss of the value of tbat _honourable mewbir'a _services , it is the position in which their cause has been _placed in this house , and in the country bythe honourable gentleman after his fifteen years leadership . ( Hear , hear . ) I havehad

      long experience of the honourable member , and he will not accuse rae of having any personal _hostility towards him when I say no honourah ' e member in this house has lavished so many compliments upor me as the honourable member for Nottingham ; but with my _erperience of bis conduct outof this house , and ef the manrer in which he bas contrived to array the working elasses of this count- y against tbo very men that could assist them in _carryiag forward their object if they wished for success—I say that the conduct of thehoc . _gent ' _eman has done moro to retard the political _progress of the working classes ot England than that of any ether political men who ever lived in thi 3 country . ( Great cheers . ) 1 speak after long experience of the honourable number . No man has moro right to speak on this subject than I have . For seven years I had to _struggle with bi 3 relentless hostility whilst I was advocating tbe cause of the working classes by means of the abolition of all t _? xss upon their food . That honourable

      Representative Reform. Irtrhuhe-: Lam Ve...

      gentleman did all be could to array the working classes against me and those who acted with me . I had more hostility to encounter from bim and from his party , than from the Dako of Buckingham and all bis followers . ( Cheers . ) What was the result ? I _^ ever fraternised with the honourable member , er with hia myrmidons . No one can charge rae with ever having fraternised with , or succumbed to them for a moment . I always treated the honourable member as tbe leader ofa small , insignificant , and very _poweness party . ( Cbeers and a laugh . ) I never identified him or hia followers with the _maaa of the working classes of this country . I treated him then as I treat hira now , not as the leader of the working classes of England , but as the leader of an organised faction of the very smallest dimensions . I have set

      bim publicly nnd politically at defiance , and I have never failed to beat tha honourable member by a vote in publio assemblies in the open air in almost every country in the kingdom . Now , I may say for myself , that ih any advocacy which I may enter on for the advancement of the political franchise of the working classes , I never will fraterniBe with the _honuursble member and bis organised followers ; and if he says , as he has said , that he has been preparing his followers to go with us , I will aay , as I have said a hnn _' red times , that , with tie Chartt as organistd under his leadership , I never will fraternise—I have fet them at defiance _b-fere , _amT-I eet them at defiance now—( _chters );—and 1 beseech my honourable friend the member for Montrose not to be deluded by anything thatmay fall frora the honourable _membsr for Nottingham as to tbe power which he asserts

      he has with the working classes of this country . He _wa & jseak before ; he is powerless now , and whatever he may threaten or promise in this house , will be equally unirfluential and unimportant in the progress of any great question of reform . Notwithstanding the most ierocious attack wbich had been made upon my honourable friend the member for _Montroae , I am convinced _that tho great body of the people _oftliis country will not feel disposed to withdraw from him that confidence which he has so long enjoyed- ( Cheera . ) Mr O'Connor wished toexplain . The honourable gentleman Btated that he had beaten him ( Mr O'Connor ) in almost every county in the kingdom . Now the fact was , that he had never had the honour of meeting the honourable gentleman , but opee in his life . Mr Cobden eaid , be meant the honourable gentleman or his followers .

      Alarming State Of The Country. — Trial O...

      ALARMING STATE OF THE COUNTRY . — TRIAL OP JOIIS MITCHBL . — COMIXG EVKKTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE . ( From our own Correspondent . ) Dublin , Tuesday , 23 rd May , We are hurrying to tbo grand crisis with accelerated impetus . If _^ eland's regeneration be not at our very doors , another century will Bad her still a nursery of _slaveH ami beggars—a land of crime and outrage , of bloed and tears , moro adject and base , and grovehine than even at present . England , perhaps , may not be in a position to hold us down for a centiiry , nor far a year ; she may not even he mistress of herself . But I say , that if we do not now puib . ' iorward , ' our opportunity ia gone for eve * , arid years , and ages , and generations , wjll find our luckless land as I bave described . This is evident .

      "With the example of all Europe before our eyes—• with our tyrant rub rs paralysed and embarrassed on every band—with millions of friends and _sympathisers _. in the midst of the enemy ' s land—with America cheering us onwards , and with the sense of present insult , and the treasured memory of seven centuries of persecution and _robbBry burning in our mind ? , if we do not be a free people we never _. need hope tor a triumph , or _emancipation , or happiness . Circumstances of wbich we yet _da not dream , may operate in our favour , and ensure cur triun-ph _, but if these circumstances do not arise I verily believe there will ba a frighful struggle in this country , With a faw exceptions in Conciliation Hall , nobody doubts this contingency . There is now no' Old

      Ireland' party in this country , with the exception of some antiquated _parish priests , and the ' fogies' of the crumbling _eataMisbmeni on Burgh Quay . We are all now , thank G . ; d , not 'Young Irelanders , ' or ' Confederates , ' _erfactionists , or partisans , but _enoraiea of British corruption and Saxon tyranny , faithfnl of course to our Q , ueen , hut loving Ireland lBfiBitelyYfiei _^' aB ! i ; 8 w _^ e- uRht to he * or-perisji : in the attempt ; l _% eseare _^ _oMaV 9 ini ) hbrm . _!^ Hot in every sense , for _the-a ' un _saineB down redly and bri liantly , and men ' s minds , to use an Irishism , are 'in ablaze John Mitchel is on bis trial to-day , or , rather , Ireland stands before a Saxon court , in the person of John Mitchel . John Mitchel represents Ireland—at

      least , all that is worth anything in Ireland ; and if he be convicted , not he alone will bo pronounced ' felon , ' but every good and gallant man within the watery zone which _encircles this island . This is no flourish . It is a faot . Many men anticipate a ' conviction , ' many others prognosticate an ' acquittal , ' but in either case , the prosecution of tbis young patriot is the most unlucky job which England ever undertook in this country . IfMitchel be acquitted , English law is not worth a cabbage-stalk in Ireland ever again — if he be sent to the convict hulk , it will be atill a fatal triumph for our enemies . Mark my words . England never _be-devilled herself in good earnest , until John Mitchel was sent in the ' black caravan ' to occupy a gloomy cell and a ' do = a' of stinking straw , in her Majesty ' s prison in Newgate .

      The city iB tranquil , but much excited . There is scarcely any business doing to-day . Every body is out , and every footstep is bent towards Green-street . The _Court-hiuse _, the reader will please to bear in mind , i 3 in Green-street , in an _obscuro part of the city ; and tbe gaol , commonly called Newgate , is an antiquated , gloomy , fortress-like pile , attached to the Court-house . This Green-street is a stirring lscality to-day . Thousands of _angry-looking men aro press . ing towards the seat of justice , whilst several hundred policemen , with a strong posse of mounted

      constabulary , sword' , in hand , form a cordon around the edifice . The poople abroad know little of what is passing within , and no poor-looking person is admitted . This is strange to English ears , but in Ireland it is no new thing . We ore a strange peop ' e indeed in Ireland . In France or any other land , a few policemen dare not push , or jostle , or bludgeon thousands of honest and peaceable men , from the portals of tbe temple of justice . 'Justice ' . ' _Sjixoti justice !! Irish fudge !! ! But in Ireland one wonders not at anything .

      Wbat some call 'loan- ; Ireland , ' is now in the ' ascendant . ' A few _rasnths ago , tbis little party _was the butt of public ridicule—despised , insulted , belied , and suspected . Now tbe case is , indeed , widely different . There is nothing now any good but ' Young Irelandism / There is no body to oppose this great organisation but the _Whijs and the staff of the fallen house of O'Connell . I wa 3 looking at the ' marching' of the Confederate Club , to the great meeting at Belle Vue , on last Sunday . It wa * a strange sight to see an 'Irish _cnerav ' _marching through tho centre of a Saxon garrison . Yet so it was . They did ' march . ' The police authorities said they should not , but they did after all , and laughed at the police , and defied their batons and their blnsterings . I was . ' at that meeting in Belle

      Vue . It was a glorious scene . There wore no banners _floating , no drums beating , no tinsel or flippery , as in the day 3 of' 43 , but there were twenty thousand men there registered a vow that if a jury was packed to try John Mitchel , the world should hear of it ; and that , if the eaid Jvhn Mitchel was victimised to the Saxnn , twenty times twenty thousand pair of arms should bo raised up to ' pronounce ' against the verdict ! There was r ; o bhniHingabout the matter . There was no mincing— ' no trimming of caps' at Bef e _Vuo . It was a regular camp meeting—and every man tbere , with tho exception ofthe police and Mr _HodgeB , the government ret orter , was aa ' enemy' to ths Whigs , and had a rifle or a pike at home . You will loam by the Irish papers that the

      object of tbis meeting was to protest against having a jury ' pavked * on Mr Mitchel ' ti trial . It waa held _inasuburbofthiscity ; near the Grand Canal Harbour . It was a fine meeting . Most of the leading Confederates were tbere , including T . F , Meagher , ' J . B . Dillon , C . G . Duffy , of the Natios , John Mar tin , of Loghorne , Dr West , Richard O'Gorman , jun , and Thomas _Davcy Mageo . Tho speeches _wtre short , but good and ' racy . ' Mr Meagher seemed a little outof tone , but was eloquent , aa usual . The best speech _wasthat ofDarcy Mayee , _thoui-hie is the j _oungest of tho leading orators of Music Ha'I , It was a ' great day , ' indeed , and nobody who witnessed tho scene , and beard what was spoken , _cou'd help feeliog that' a obsat day for ireiand' was already _dawhitg .

      Mr 0 _Connor 3 letter to M'tebel is a Biibjectof much speculation in Dublin . It has « ivon unqualified satisfaction , and proves that , amid the _diffii-iilties which besot that gentleman ' s path , he does net forgot old Ireland , nor those wbo _struggle in _hsr bahalf . Thero is one thing in connexion with this subject , however , which paiDs w , as Irishmen . That is , that Feargus O'Connor is net amongst ourseivea , leading the Yan against tho enomy , and flingln ; the weight of his name and talents into the great national struggle . Itis not too _ht *! Let him come , and he

      will meet six millions eead mille failthas in the land of the west . He need not withdraw ff om the _English _osmp _. but he might , at least , give his own a helping hand against tbe common enemy . The Irish peasantry are still arming . A true bill has been found against Mitchel . He applied for a copy , but was refused . This day counsel on both sides are arguing this point . To morrow his trial commences in good earnest . I will send a line with whatever I can tell aboHt the trial , as well as concerning the case of Devin Reilly , who is about to be added to the list of' _conspiratus , ' Dublin , 24 th Mat . Yesterday tbe oourt was engaged hearing Counsel on both sides , on' Law Points' connected with the indictment against Mr Mitchel . To-morrow ( Thursday ) the ( rial goes on in good earnest . Mitchel looks fearlessly on his _enemies . I saw him in const yesterday ; he looked somewhat pa _' er than usual , but his fine eyea looked scornfully on the surrounding host of wigged and gowned foemon .

      Mrs Mitchbl. There Appears In The Uhiteb...

      MRS MITCHBL . There appears in the _Uhiteb _Irishumj an address of sympathy from the Dr Doyle Club to Mrs Mitchel , together with that lady ' s spirited reply : — M » dam , — In the state of alarm and uncertainty ta Whicb , notwithstanding jour long preparation and your best endeavours we feel you matt be reduced by the tyrannical arrest of ourhorolc brother , your husband , Jobs Mitchel , we came to assure yoa that we not only feel that the aggression has been made upon us as citizens of this nation , bat as if it bad been made upon each of us individually , the same deep indignation , the same bitter and determined resentment .

      However some of ub Irish citizens may have disagreed oa abstract _questions , tbis tyrannical attempt by the foreign usurper of our country to ctu 6 h him individually , binds us all together henceforth to rieo or fall with him . We have now but one absorbing duty to performnamely , to prepare , night and day , for the purpose , should hc ba convicted , of restoring him in triumph to liberty and to you . We , however , entertain that _confidense in our fellow citizens that no jury will be found so corrupt , baso , and traitorous as to convict bim _. To yourself , personally , we most respectfully offer our sentiments of eBteem and sympathy . With hia safety there is but one other duty equally imperative on _uu ; namely , to protect those he holds dearest _^ —you , madam , ahd jour children , from the slightest annoyance or insult . ( Signed , on _bshalf of the club , ) Johm B . Watson , Gba _' tsian .

      Mrs Mitchel replied briefly in the following words : — I feel deeply grateful to the members of tbe Dr _Doj'le Club for their most encouraging and hopeful address to tne . I have the utmost trust and _coufidocci ) in tboir determination not to allow their brother _Confederate , John Mitohel , to leave tbi * lond in a convict ship ; and I _fetl assured—nay , I am quite certain—that my hua . band will never disgrace their cause or Ma owu . I have not hitherto allowed any _fnars I might feel for my children ' s safety or my own to Interfere with that line of policy which my husband thought it his duty to pursue ,

      and I do not intend to do eo now . But let me tell the Confederates of Dublin that I firmly believe that to allow any Confederates , no matter bow insignificant the part ho may have taken in their cause , to leavo Ireland in felon ' s fetters for the advocacy of their cause , would be the most fatal madness , und would but rivet the chains more closely than ever , so that they would be unable to _regain the noblo position they now hold , by all thut they ml ; ht say or do for half a century to come , I have now only to repeat my thanks to the memberB of tfce Dr Dojle Club , for the sympathy which they bavo expressed with myself personally on the present occasion .

      AB & EST Or ME BE 1 LZ . Y . At fiva o'cloek on Monday evening Mr Dovin Riillj was _arrested en a charge of * drilling ; nod training , ' con . trary to law . On Tuesday , Mr Reilly was brouRht before the _puliea magistrates , at the head _volice-omce , College-street , and after the case was heard , and infor . mationB for his committal made oot , he was admitted to bail , himself In £ 160 and two studies in £ B 0 eacb _, to appear and take his trial at tho next city commission , to be tried two months bence .

      MOBE AlEEBTS . More of tha leaders of the Confederates are to be pro . aecuted . I have just learned that a warrant bas been issued forthe arrest of Mr Charles Gavin Duff ) of the Nation , and that informations charging Mr T . D . Reilly , with having commuted felony , under the new act , were ' _sworn yesterday , _Eumour also states tbat Mv Thomas Darcy M'Gee will also bo _proceeded , against , we presume for tbe part he rook in the meeting on Sunday la _» t , Father Kenyon has arrived in Dublin , to conduct tho editorship of the Uniteo Irishman . An application to postpone the trial of Mitchel wil be made on Thursday , on the ground that the jury pantl was partially arraigned .

      LATEST FROM IRELAND . Doblin , May 25 th . —The trial of Mr Mitchel was fixed for this morning . Tho proceedings in the court commenced by a challenge to tho array of the jury panel on ( he part of tbe prisoner , on tbe ground of partiality in its construction , Tbe crown joined issue . Next an application was made on the part of the prisoner for a postponement of the trial on the ground ef the absence of Mr Stephen Monagh & n , clerk to the Attornej-General , who was described as a material witness for the prisoner in the chal . lenge to the array of tbe jury panel . Tho Attorney-General _resisted this application , which

      he contended , was made merely for the purpose of delay , and the court decided against it . Triers wero then appointed , and a _dumber of witnesses were examined on both sides , respecting thejury panel . Ultimately , tfter a _VrUf charge from Baron L froy , the triers decided that the jury panel was fairly and impartially constructed . Thus the greater part of the day was occupied with the trial ofthe sheriff and tbe jury panel , instead of Mr Mitchel , who , meantime , sat in front of the dock , apparently as little concerned as any ordinary spectator la the court , Tbe nest proceeding was the _impannelling of the jury , Tho trial ia likely to occupy the entire ot to-morrow .

      Oldham . — On Sunday last , a meeting took place in tbe Working Man ' s Hall , to hear the report of Mr S . M . Kydd , delegate to tbe National Assembly . He delivered a very elequontand argumentative speech , which made an _impression and sunk deep info the hearts of his auditory , and _frequently d ew from tbem bursts of applause .

      The Provisional Executive Com" Mittee To...

      THE PROVISIONAL EXECUTIVE COM " MITTEE TO TD . E PEOPLE . Fellow Countrymen ! At a tiaie when so many parties are in the field with promises of Reform , we consider it our duty to point your attention to what we deem the policy requisite to be pursued . Chartists ! these aro times to try men ' s souls , their judgment , and their firmness . The middle class are seeking our support—at first , under tha plea of Household Suffrage ; then , when they find this miserable bait will not tak *? , they grow moro vague—talk of a ' wide extensien '— but all adhere te their ' Triennial Parliaments' —and ' Property Qualification' —though some insidiously change it to an

      • Income Qualification of £ 200 per annum '—whioh means a Middle Class Qualification , to the exclusion of _workiuw men and the interests of labour . Seeing their original _jropositions scouted by the people , tbey havo made a further change , and try to clothe them in a moro attractive shape . Thev are now declaring _themaelves f-r Universal _Suffrage , _leaving the * details for carrying it out to be considered at a future _pei-od . ' We beiievi- that the details ( the remaining five points of the Cluxrter ) are _esBeDtiAlly neceatary fi > r _aiving due effect to the principle of Universal _Suffrage . Leave the DFTAILS to b & fixed by the middle class , and -Universal Suffrage , in their bands , may become universal mockery .

      Working men ! The New ileform League is cal « culated to benefit the middle clasa alone ; everyone of its featurca will give them _added powtr , and give , you none . Be on your guard ! Why do tbey aslc your help ? Becauso Whig government—a compound of cotton lords and landlords—is fast ruining their trade , and tbey are not strong enough to subvert that government . They ar ;» , therefore , placrdin the dilemma of submitting quietly to the Whig ? , and being ruined—or of joining the Chartists , and giving up their class privileges . They think , however , they can once more dupe us , and blind ua as < o their real intentions . Chartists ! Thay _caucot do without you . but they are trying to save themselves at the cost of as few class _privileges as they can . They are driving their bargain—Jet us drive ovrb . // we hold out , theyivill be obliged to come to our terms .

      Now that they are again raisins the Cuckoo _ci-t of , 4 Take what _yo--: c ? n get !'— ' Do not go for the whole at onco _!'—tell them , that we adhered to our principles at a time when we stood alone—in the hour of _udiersi ' y—in the day of _eompir-tive weakness—and that now , when we are strong ; now , when the Press is forced to _t'Cvote its columns daily to a notice of our movement ; now , when the middle cla 3 : _ea are set-king us , _solicitinsr us for help , now is no * tha moment to ask us to descend from our proud position —abate one iota of the Charter , or sneak froruhoneBt principles into servile expediency ,

      • THE CHARTER WHOLE AND ENTIRE , ' must be our motto , and we must oppose every Rtform movement having only a sectional , not a universal good in view . They may taunt us with being obstructives—they may taunt us with _thwarting their' introductory measures , which are to pave the way for tbe rest . ' __ Tell them a Reform which should bt ncfic only the middle class , would be worse than no Reform ; for whereas that class are now somewhat kept in check by their privileged opponents , they would thon becomethe irresponsible and unconditional ina , _'jters of the people .

      _Chart-sts ! Behect , also , when they ask yoa to ' give up your Cbartist agitation'in order to 'join with them V Who is there to joia with ? A political pigmy—a mere shadow . Where is their _pirty ? Where is tbeir _strength ? Have they tbe people with tbem ; No ! Have they evea their own class with them ? No ! A few solitary sentinels , watching our movement from a . distance—divided among themselves—contradictory and disagreed— ~ iC _aea nothing to unite witb , but a few _par-l . ami-ntarv and

      political pedlars , daring to e _; ui _themselvrs _lea'li-rs of parties having no existence but in their own cone it . Rally , then , Chartists ! Unmask them at their meetings—tear the flimsy veil iff tbeir vague and unmeaning resolutions ( you will see samples of ihtm in tbis week ' s _Swb ) --s 8 ! i thim whs , t ih « _-y really _mean?—fixtbeslipreiyrhetoriei-xns io _thopftip _.- . — and , if that is not tho charter , move the toll ' , wing amendment , which we submit toy « u , aa , even ierein , uniformity ia desirable , evidencing nt ones the _strength and _extett of our on . 'ani , " _'> tiDn ;—

      ' Resolved , as a change is now _universally admitted to bs necessary ; as that change must strike at tbe root Of tbe evil , not merely i \ t its suitaeo ; as the working classes havo betn , _unJ are , the _greaiesj sufferers and the oldest reformer .-, and are , therefore , entitled to the firot consideration and the thief benefit _resulting from _refoim ; ns the _G-iart _^ r erabod _sa tbeir rights , and expres _? es their _wiohes : this nesting pledges ilself to sanction no measure of ekes ral reform short of tho principles contained in that document , without _compromise , _entailment , or surrender—convinced that thc omission _t . f any ono of ita points , would cripple the efficacy of the rest—warned by tho treachery of the _Reformrrs ot 1 S 32—aware that a united people has tbe power ot carrying anv just measure of reform , and determined tbat the interests of Labour , shall be the ruling _question of the age . '

      A word as to the Plan of Organisation : we consider that plnn capable of _affording i . ur ' _movement au irresistible power . To p . _nsuve ibis , it must lie acted on uniformly in every locality . It will _n-t , do for one locality to adop _t one plan , /—and _anotlc- a different ono ;—lor the political _msehine to work well , it must hariuonise it ail its _dewili-. The government droad our _organisation mors than any other measure . Tbey will _theicfore try to thwart its developement bv forcing the people into a premature outbreak . Spies and traitors will b 8 employed for this purpese . Tbey will irritate yeu by acts of local tyranny . Once more , be on your guard ! There must bo nn _rioting—organise ! organise ! organise !—and the hour of our triumph will come . We warn you , it is nearer than our enemies—and even than our friends expect ; Nothing but _intera-.. erato haste can retard it , —nothing but a dereliction of principle can rob us of its fruits .
