were to unite with the countless thousands by whom , so donbi , the Regenerator wonld be ac-^ ompaniedj letnrn to Gaiwayj and pass through file town to fee place of meeting ( about % mile to the westward side ) , where O'Connell would address them /* It -was also resolved to be desirable " that the most ngid decoram should be obserred dnring the progress ef ihi 3 great national demonstratoon ; ihattempereneejnrmness , and peace shcnld be the order of the ^ ay ; diai neither aingiDg of joy-bells nor SUuminaHonB shonld be required , and that green branches ahouldnofcbe e ^ tubHed , lest any depredafion might be osmmitted in procuring them , remembering that * he-nho-riolated the law strengthenei the enemies of Ireland . " *
The trades , iweniy-ax in jramber , aeseicbled as directed at 12 o ' clock , and proceeded to
Oran-On one ^ rf the numerous banners which they displayed -was the design of a drawn sword and j fiie scales of jusfice , sarmounted by " BjepeaL " All the elements of agitation hitherto employed were put in force on thiB occaaou , and had thedfect of dratrag together an immense number of people . Inthisifcspect laoreparficularly , Galway far ontshone Alhlone , but it is said tha « the amouBt of Bepeal rent frill not be commensurate with the display of numbers . SeTeral triumphal arches were hung across the streets throngb , which the procession was to pas ^ but only two of them had mottoes , which were , ** O'ConneD , ihe Hoses of his country , leading the children of Granuale out of Saxon bondage / 7 and"" i " or & nation to be free it is
Enfficicnt that she wflls it . " Thsre was not a siDgle j -window from which a tiew of ihe procession oould j be cemmaaded that was not occupied from about i 12 ^>' cloclTmtil . the arriTal of Mr . O'Connell , which did Botiake place for aereral hours after the time j announced—the procession not having reached the i place . of meeiingnniil after 7 o ' clock , when many ] -who had been waifcig to hear the liberator had j gone disappointed to their homeB . When Mr . ] 0 * ConneH ascended the platform it was determined \ that there should be rery little speaking , and the proceedings were consequently got through Tery hurriedly . A 31 nsion 3 having been made to it , I should obserTB thai &e Cyclops war steamer arrireS here yesterday , bringing two companies of the S 6 ih Regiment from lamerkk , and was within Bight of the

"—( Enthusiastic cheering followed the reading of the resolution . ) Mr , Biaxb of Erankfort , haTing seconded it , ii -was put ^ and carried . The JIst- 14 r . Bochb , parish priest of .

"
Sir Y . Bixes , in seconding the resoluticn ( waich passed ) , declared that he came there partly for the purpose of proTokixig the supersedeas of the Government . Mr , Coiti 3 t , of Woodstock , on » of the superseded , moTed the next resolution z" Thai while they deprecated all idea of Tiolence , they feli called on to concemn tbe policy of the GoYernment in ^ ismisang from the Magisterial ofiiEe men of the higbes * eharacter , sta-uov , aad property , in inundating their "unfortunate country -wiih an extraordinary muirary ioree , and in bombarding their coasts with her Majesty ' s nary ; and that snch demonstration of hostiiity had no terrors for fhefpeopleo ?

a country worth fighting for i ( Cheers . ) Tiny were engaged in a noble strnggle , apd they were opposed in a most ludicrous wsyi First came the threat of civil war , from the twaddling , tottering iron duke in the Bouse of Lords , and in the Bonse of Commoiss from Peel j who jaccofflpanied ii with the treasonable falsehood , tnat the Queen had declared that she was an enemy to the Repeal of the Uiiion . They laughed that threat to scorn , knowing that they were safe beneath the shield of the constitution so long as they -violated no law , and gaTeno opportunity to their enemies to attack them ; while at the same time they : were ready , and still were ready , to meet any attack that might be made upon them—( cheers ) . Wo to him who assailed
them . They would never abandon the ; constitution under which they lived , but they would know how to perish in it if necessary —( cheers ) . [ Then came SiJfiden upon them , who had the audacity to d . 0 BO , inomn £ that if the assertion were- even tree , it wonld still have been unconstitutional to have made use of it . The next step was a proclamation against the bailad-gingerp , with directions to ihe police to watch every old woman who sang Bongs in tbe streets , to take her up , and bind her over to keep the peace —( laughter ) . Wellington , Peei , Graham , and mad Stanley , could think of nothing better for Ireland than a proclamation against old women . They were so much afraid of them that ; they sent a war-steamer there to keep them quieti Jiow , he
had a great mind to pot fosr old women into a boat ; o-morrow , vnih . the son of a sea-cook as coxswain , and send them over to take that steamer . He said so tl-us early that the cfiicers jsight hare fair notice —( J&ughter ) , Somethrag more serious , however , followed , for if they arrested a single old woman nncer that proclamation , he knew an attorney who would bring an action against the pereon arresting her—{ hear , hear)—so tasi not an arrest would lake place without ss | action , in order to try the good taste of the policemen who should arrest . But then came the isoat frightful part cf the opposition . Sir J . Graham , representing the power of the Crown in theHonse of ; Commons , had the atrocious audacity ( he spoke of newspaper
reports ) to assert that tho prelates , clergy , aobhity , gentry , and Jaity-of Ireland were guiityief perjury against the oath of allegiance . He ( Mr . OToBiieU } v / as ashamed to say , that with a few exceptions , tbe Irish gentlemen who were present had not treated the Home Secretary as he deserted . Sir W . BarroB toldhim he was insolent . That was a tolerable bint ; bat he regretted to find it stated , and hoped it was not trne , that the O'Conor Don accepted a kiad of left-handed apology . He was treated as a yerjurer , and should not have ateepted anything short of the most complete retractation of so degrading a charge . It ma a Jalse—it was a lying , charge .. ( Cries of "It was . " ) When Sir R . IngliB made it in his ( Mr . D'CoHnell ' s ) presence he told him be
was a "liar f aad Sir Robert Inglia never at ^ tempted to say it again . Bnt Sir J . Graham had ! the audaeity to repeat it , and in doing so was hallooed and applauded by an immense majority of the House of Commons that should continue : U > xnake laws for Ireland . ( Hear , hear . y Bnt Sir J . Grahazzi -wezri so i&rstato say that Ireland had sot snougb , and coald get no more , and boasted of having granted her Catholic emancipation .

Another advantage he alluded to was fixity of tenure . He had > list of 103 fa&nieB , whom a misbegotten Englishman named Wyndham , in the eounty of Clare , had turned off one property . If they had a fixity of tenure this would sot happen . Lord Clancarty , he understood , had issued an order to his teHantry sot to attend that meeting , peaceable and loyal as it was . ; Fixity of tenure would prevent landlords from thus makisg serfs of their tenants , and depriving them of every
- ! feeling of independence . Mr . St . Geerge , of Headfort , had , be understood , acted in a similar ; m&uuer —a man who bad been deprived of ihe commission of the peace by the Whigs and re-instated by the Tories . He was , moreover , informed that Lord Clancariy compelled his Roman Catholic tenants to send * their children to Protestant Bchoels ; and that was the man who put forward proclamations against polities ! meetings to petition Parliament ! A Repeal of the Union would very soon put a bridle into that fellow ' s mouth , and it would be worth looking for on that account alone —( hear , hear ) . A Repeal of the Union would remove the county rates from tha tenant altogether , and enable Ireland to pay off her sh ? re of the national debt in about five years . Was there a m&n amongst them that would not } undergo

( Renewed cheers . ) Bnt he wanted nothing of the kind . All he wanted was , that they should pay one shilling each , and enrol themselves as associates , and that they should let him have 3 , 000 , 000 Repealers before he proceeded to take his next step . They had the sanction and support of their venerated bishops and tbe anointed priests of God , who wonld . not lend him their countenance if they were violating the law or instigating to immorality . Under that sane-, tion and support he exhorted them to organise . The 1 hon . and learned gentleman retired amid' the most i enthusiastic cheering-
Mr . D . Bbowxbj M . P ., was called to the chair , and thanks being Toted to Lord Pfrench , the people rapidly dispersed . It being 9 o ' clock , Mr . O'Connell then- drove to tbe residence of Dx . Browne , the Bishop of Galway , ¦ with vrhom he dined . '

TO THE PEOPLE OF IBELAKD . "He must watch who would overcome . " Fellow Cobntbthen , —In former letters addressed to yon , the members of the Repeal Association , and to ill . O Connell , I laboured to impress upon jour minds the necessity for adopting immediate and | energetic measures to obtain the so long talked of , and and so much loved , Repeal of the Legislative Union . That you baye at length aroused Iiom your apathy , I rejoice to perceive ; but that 1 have some drabta as to the ' happy result of your present agitation , 2 cannot cen' ce&l either from myself or you . 1 have ever given you ' credit for " honesty of intention ; " asd am still of
opinion that yon are , and ever roll be , invincible , pro- ; Tided your energies are sot improperly directed , or ; jour labours rendered fruitless through design or inconsistency by thosB in whom you so implicitly confide . I wcnld not willingly offer the slightest objection to damp the ardour of yonr hopes ; iot as I have so often tirged yon to action , I may be permitted , bow the struggle has commenced , to battle in your ranks , and -whilst -we combat the open foe together , j cautiously waleh and guard against tbe -wiles or treachery of internal euenrifca or pietended Menus . Ton yriJl douot-Icss remember that in defending the pro-Toyy policy of the English Chartists at the late Pailiamentajy election , | I stated that they defeated the WhigB to' get rid of I fake , treacherous , and hypecritacal pretenders to
I political virtue ; and that they exalted i the Tories , not for love of them , but ior " a lore of fair p » ay ™—as one enemy , and an open one , is of two evila the best . ThiB opinion they still , held ; and disclaiming alike connexion -with either party , and fearless of the envy of the one , ox the i power of the other , stand boldly forward the advocates ' cf justice , the enemies of oppressors , and the friends I of the oppressed . In this ligbt , then , yonhmuat View Ihfi Chartists ; and , ax 1 fjsVe the honour to be one of Ifcat bc-dy , 1 can , as your countryman , Touch for the truth -of -what 1 assert Here , then , we have " honesty of intention" and oonsiitency of principle" united ,
and the moral might of a generous people ready and wiDin ^ to ajaiit vm to attain our country ' s redemption . Buttinsaid , strange tossy , isjBjeeted ! lAna vrhy ? As aa Irishman , aa a Hepealer , and as a Charflrt , I again ask , why ? In the same of justice , in the name of Ireland , I ask , » hy do you Ttfnse the aid here cfikred ? Kow , mszk me ! Upon this refusal of cooperation 2 base my doubts and fears for Ireland ' s ¦ sreaL It is npon this little stretch ot despotic auVferaity—4 hi » lettering of the -will and reason of ihe Irish—this petty attempt at renewal of old and forgotten prejudices , that I am led to snspect the sincerity of your leaders , and disappointment to youi

/ hopes . Do not take it 5 IJ . I have no desi . "" to waptach O'Coniiell ; but still I have a right to cation yun against all possible chance of tbe Ri-peol qufc 8 ti « . n being put in afcajacee , as fcimerly . It will bo temenibered that the case is widely different betwixt the Irish seeking for Catholic Emancipation , and eetking for a Repeal of the Union . The first of these you obtained , bnt not aa frequently erroneously stated , by individual Irish agitation , nor indeed without the co-operation of the people of Great Britain . In the case of Emancipation , those v » ho were even opposed by prejudices wire easily won to your opinions , from the knowledge , that if even you were successful , it wcnld not hazard their interests , so long as it did not ; confer the chance of decreasing
their majorities in the honees of Parliament ; and ¦ which according to the Act of Unioi ? could not , at least immediately , take place . Besides lnv . «* est * d , and consequently prejudiced , pmties saw hhat b ? emacclpating the Imh , they ? a '* o RMned an advantage b , 7 dispossesaing tbe forty ^ ahilling freeholders of the franchise . This deprivation wsk fully an equivalent for tbe boon you reetiTed ; for the Government by that means in ^ reaaeci their own strength by lopping off a vital member Irom yonr body politic , flow can I see that tbe Eraanc *^ 8-tion was in reality no benefit at all ? For two mm pi * reasons—first , that you had no security for its permanency , so loDg as it conferred do further political prM- ! leges than the right oC Catholics to ait in ( aminoritj ) in the houses of Parliament ; and , secondly , because
only a Tery ranall portion of the Irish people have derived any advantage whatever from its existence , and because any measure to be good should be beneficial to sJl alike , without distinction of persona ? To explain this , I will suppose Mr . Lane Fox would , as he thTeatended , bring in a bill , say to-morrow , for a repeal of the Act of Emancipation ; what earthly means would yoa hnve to prevent it being carried in the present PirJiameni ? Whit political strength er influence have yon to oppose , in case finch a circumstanee were to ocenr ? The chances are entirely against yoa , for I have little doubt the Tories would not hesitate tfr enslave you ; nor could you depend on tbe Whigs ; for shonld they even vote Jin yeur favoar , it -would be only tor tbe purpose of wheedling themselves into your
confidence ss heretofore , and , following in their former footsteps , coerce you for yonr kindness . I have no hesitation in stating that it is my firm conviction that the Whigs cenfidentiy hope to benefit by the present agitation for Bepeal ; and , if you will o » iy bzamine for ypunelvea , you- will , I am certain , be convinced of ita truth . In sn article ef tbe Weekly Ifispotch newspaper ef the 27 lh instant lrf > rd John Bassell is aade to boost of the amonnt of confidence reposed in his , the Whig , pasty , by the Irish ; and further states that aft the good (?) done in tsn years by the Whigs , has been destroyed * by only as many months of aiTcxy Administration ; - and a&ila tor bis ( the Dispatch ) part , that he believes- the Repeal agitation is only a means to coe ? ce the Government , as it is
the last thing Jve would think of , or tfae Irish ? t quire , or actually hope to obt-iin . Now ,-what is nil this tantamount to ? Wfcy , virtually to prepare the Irish mind to receive the intelligence that era longitbe Repeal will be placed in abeyacoe , and ** justice to Jfrelaad" 3 > enceforth administexed . This cea enly be obtelned by a union of the Iriahrwith the liberal or Whig partyv- In proof of this , I' -would dTaw yonr attention to the fact , thst' -whilstin office the Whigs-forgot tbeirpiedgeB to do yon jfistiro ; . but nownhey meanly boast of- fa-voirrsdowe yoa , which you never received at their hands . They can cry out like political hypocrites ( as thty are ) against the introduction of aa Arms Biilfor Ireland ^ and forget that it -vra » oue of the favours which the ? - themselves ^ gave you iii return for- yonr services ; and that it was they who famished Sir Robert Peel with the opportunity to beard even the Irish members with
iBconsiateacy for crying out against a measure brought in nndsr the sanction of a Tory administration , to wldeb under a Whig government they offered only a mere passive xesut&Dce , aad even in-many instances tuppcited . This ; and ( withoutmeaningsny offence ) tb « display . of"names and personages who bsve eTer been known as Whigs-( ornick-naned Liberals ) who grace the page * and swell the-nnks of the Repealers , looks-ominous for poor Irelasd becoming again th « dupe and -victim of- Whiglin& pbilanthrop ^ y . If , than , Emftncipatlon was obtained hithe co-cpEsraiion of the Snglish , aad for the reason 1 have assigned , th » question of the Rtfona had alsoita support from anotbar but a mote interested motive oa the part of the middle classes , who , it will be romembered , sever yet cordially agreed , or « ver- wished for any conaection with the people , save when they used them as a means te accomplish some political scheata for . thbixawn afieraadisenjent .
The Reform Bill waa-carried la . tbe face ofTory opposition ; bat did it benefit thoBft whom it pretended it would beoefit ? Noj-forif it bad , tbe first fruits of Irish intsrference T ? ould not have been the Coercion Bill , -which emanatad from the Whigs ; . aoi the intro-. duction of the present unpopular and accursed Poor Laws amongst yen .

In lie former cseea I have ahown yoathat tbe raiddle clssssa either saw : their unkin with tbe people would not Id jure them , ot that it was thei * inttreat to use them as tools to farther their own purposes .

OPPKESS 1 ON IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON . A HARD CASE . There is so greater mistake than to suppose that justice is not withheld from the poor . There ia in this prison a poor gentleman , who ia anxious to meet a jury , but , because he is poor , he can neither force hiu prosecutor to bring him to trial , nor obtain his release from prison on bail . He is , in fact , < the prisoner of his enemy , confined under the -warrant of a Judge , during the pleasure of bis prosecutor ! People outside assume , because a Judge has said so , that , *• If any man hath wrong or injury done to him by his imprisonment , we ( tbe Judges } have the power to release him . "
That the words of this emphatic declaration of Lord Htdb were true when that great and wise Judge used them , there can be uo doubt ; bat how far they are carried out in practice at the present day , will be seen from the following case . Last January an indictment was preferred before the grand jury , sitting in the Court of Queen ' s Bench , at Westminster Hall , against Mr . T . foe alleged perjury , stated to have been committed in an affidavit which he swore on the 11 th day of that month ; and " a true bill" was returned on Saturday tbe 28 th of January . About four hours afterwards , the prosecutor obtained a Bench warrant under tbe hand and seal of the Chief Justice , for Mr . T . ' s apprehension , and he was next morning ( being Sunday } taken into custody by a police constable , and conveyed to a station-house , where he remained until the following day ; and at three o ' clock of that day ( Monday , tbe 30 th of January , ) he was taken before a Judge at chambers , and committed t # prison for want ef balL
Mr . T ., although ' a member of a highly respectable family , was unable to procure bail , aad he determined patiently to remain in prison until the following term , when , from the prosecutor ' s declaration that " no time should be lost in bringing him to trial , " be expected , to be brought up toplead and take hia trial . Easter Term arrived , and lasted from the 19 th day of April to the Cth day of May ; but the prosecmtor took no proceeding to bring the case forward . Vacation intervened , and then Trinity Term arrived ; still nothing was done by the prosecutor .
Mr . T ., -wearied out by waiting , and with the proBpect before him ' of the loiig vacation , at last wrote to the prosecutor , stating " his readiness to go to trial , and asking prosecutor whether he meant to go on in that term . " Prosecutor replied that " be would take immediate steps to bring Mr . T . up to plead . "

04 the Seh of June Mr . T . was brought iato Cuait , and pleaded " not Riiilty ; " , and then moved the Couit to bind the pioseouior over , ( e prosecute , and to let him (' Mr . T . ) out of custody , either on his own recogni-Z-mC * " or upan giving such hail as he coald procure . He urged u P on tbe Court ' s consideration the long time be ba& EfiiC 11 * 11 ^ m P'ison without trial and conviction of a jury ^ -hi « perfect readiness at all times , since his imprisonment , U > h ° to trJ * 1 ' and Ws unceasing anxiety for an opportunity tt > " establish his entire freedom from guilt , jand his innocence of ; the crime charged against him , k ' refewed to the £ " 6 of Paaliameut ( 48 Gao . 3 rd , 58 . ) under the authority P vfblch the warrant had been granted npon which 6 e had been apprehended ; and which Act directs , that "in case a defendant
charged by Indictment for any offence ( not being treason or | felony ) shall neglect or refuse to give bail for bis appearance , the Jodpe shall commit him to prison , there to remain until ho shall give bail , or shall be discharged by order of the mid Court in term time , or of one of ihe , Jvchjes in vacation ;' ¦ which Act , he maintained , gave the Judge power to discharge bint , and particularly iu a caso like the present , where the prosecutor had so long neglected to bring the case to trial . Be also maintained that the Judges of the Queens Bench could ,: in the exercise of / that power which they enjoyed at common law , as well its by the above Hnd
other Statutes , admit him to bail in such sum only as h , i could procure ; for the Act of William and Mary ga / larpa it to bean offence against the liberty of the » n »> Ji' < 5 t to demand excessive bail , being in effect , a denial of ia \ 'i altogether . The Learned Judge , however , iu very hv imano language , informed Mr . T . he could not cempel ; h ' prosecutor to go on , and that be had bitnaelf to blk «> efor his long imprisonment , for benight have given Da ^ ' 0 D (? ago , act ! recommended n j m to apply to a •> |* dR'B at chambers with the best bail he could obtain . St ) ^ at a poor man in prison is presnmed to be in i " 8 own custody , when be cannot obtain bail , and bis pro * , ^ cutor refuses to bring him to trial . stated
As I bavo alres 4 , , Mr . T . Js unable to procure bail , an ^ J he remain . * * prison , without trial and conviction . I Tbis , ur > det circumstances 6 ven of clear guilt , is a hardship , beeaiw e imprisonment before trial is seldom take * into aeein . ^ t la apportioning punishment after conviction ; but to . ® present case , if it be trae that the accuesd is prepare * establish , by tbe clearest and most unimpeachable ^ Yidence , bis innocence , it am » unis \ to a great praetitatc , " «« % ' « «< individual It Is hardly possible to account ia * the seeming difference wbicb exists in tbe adtahtiath' ^ oti of criminal law at the Central Criminal Courff froip that in practice in the Queer's Bench , the highest Court of criminal justice in England Few persons haw any knowledge of that differetrca .
At tbe Central CHminal Cbmrt , prisoners who are not triedjand convicted or acqratted , are discharged by proclamatrion at the end of esah Sftwions ; and bad Mr . T . been indicted in that Cea * t , an d committed to Newgate fin January last , he rhnsit have been tried or discharged ! before the ex-pIratiW of flVii weeks-.

It is impossible to say whether wh 6 n the prosecutor preferred bia
iadictment > in toe Queen's Etnch , he- oonteao plated the possibility of tbe accused beings kept ao long in prison witboat a conviction ; but it is a f&et that caonot be denied , that if the prosecutor had waited from the Saturday yiheo to procured a . " true bill" against Mr . T . in too fQoeecJs- Bench , wntil the pUovAng ) Monday morning , ' a period of less than forty-eight hours , he might have indicted him at the Central Criminal Court ; and in that cue , aa I have above shown , Mr . T . must have been ; long ago brought t& trial . Surely the Judges of tbe Courtiof Queea ' s Bench will do longer aUo-w- themselves to remain the instruments of isjustioe for the gratification of malioe I
It is erne ] in the extreme to charge a-roan with snch a . grave offence as-that of peijnry ( which is nut less dangeroasjto the welfare of society than' it is detestable in its nature , } and not allow him to- prove hits-innocence . Some men ( and it is not by any . means an impossible supposition ) possess such weak minds , and dread the anxiety of delay and attendant mlsory of imprisonment so much , that rather thaQ . be confined for an indeirhite period ; they woulS plead guilty , though such plea were a manifest falsehood , in order , at a- dis
tant ptriod , to be able to reckon with certain ^ on their restoration to liberty ; for tbe law tabes no trouble , in such cases , to ascertain the truth of the accused's pte&T-it only concerns itself with a prisoner's guilt . If he be innocent , and thinha proper to say otherwise , ! the law will presume ] he is-guilty , however impossible it may . appear that he could have committed the crime imputed to him * The danger arising from such a proceeding , to the interests ef third parties , is too obvious to require mor » than a passing remajlL ;
It is true , ard it is alLthat can bo-said in excuse for the grievance in question , that an innocent man , if . wrongfully accaBfcd , may , upon tho acquittal of a j . Ury , maintain an action for a malicious prosecution ; but that is a remedy accessible only to a . rich man . A poos mvji wonld look witb horror at the prospect of litigating a suit , at law . There ara fuw men w&o have ewer embarbed in such an entergvise , that have not Kgretted tbelr folly ; , for a verdiat is not always-a gala —it is ofteu a loss to the succeskal party , and the eniire ruin cf his opponent . In » ca' a like the present , it becomes a subject for tbe serious consideration of those interested in such matters , how fur it nzay not be possible to subdue a man ' s spirit into a falue > acknowledgment of guilt , and thereby ibflict aii irreparable iBJury apon the adminiatrn > tioa of ju » tice .
In this particular case , prrhapB some guarantee against such a calamity may be found in the character of Mr . T ., whose free , and appaieutly candid comEUBicatl&ns , induce the belief that -when be protests his innocence , he is prepared to prove it ; and those who abhor tyraany for tyrainy ' s Bake , will , doubtless , not withhold their sympathy from him . We know that be contrives to support himself on tbe prison allowance , with the aid of some trifling gifts of a few BhiUingB from sympathising friends ; and his wife , who is sn accomplished aad amiable woman , shares hisi captivity .

HOUSE OF LORDS . —Tuesday , June 27 . The second reading of the Church Endowment Bill was moved by The Bishop of Lcwdon , who expressed bis gratitude for tbe support he bad received in his diocese in aid of church extension . One proof of this was , that ten churches had been required for the parish of Buthnulgreen , and nine were aiready ereoted . Lords Monteagle and Brougham supported the bill ; after which it was read a second time . Tbe proceedings , An themselves of no special interest , were diversified by a most violent attack by Lord
Brougham' upon Lord Aberdeen—principally for having on the previous evening declined to consent to any further postponement of his measure npon the Scotch Church , notwithstanding that Lord Brougham was oblieed by indisposition to bo abftent—but partly also because he ( Lord Aberdeen ) was not than present in his place to receive in person the objurgation Lord Brougham had in store for him . He denounced the Scotch Church Bill as an insult passed upon the English Chancellors for the purpose of giving self-importance to the Scotch Judges ; aud after complaining passionately of Lord Aberdeen s absence , gave notice that en Thursday be would again bring forward the subjtct .
' Lord Haddikgton endeavoured to defend his absent colleague ; but succeeded only in drawing down upon him a frt * h and more violent storm of vituperation . Lord SiUFTESBVRY , from the Woolsack , at length interposed ; und-after a few words from Lord Campuell , who justified his Learned Friend ' s conduct , their iivi tibhips a .

La . mbf . th . —Britannia CotFEE House , Wateripo Road . —At the usual meeting of Chartists in this locality , on Monday evening , the Committee on Exclusive Dealing made their report . Its adoption was moved and seconded , land ably supported by Mr . Bolwell , who pointed out its importance in the obtaining of wealth without money subscriptions , by merely spending our money with those shopkeepers who would allow a discount of 5 per ceat . to the funds of the Association ; thus bringing about a cordial union between the shopkeeping and working classes . The motion was agreed to unanimously . The subject is to be again brought under consideration next Monday evening , when all members are requested to attend . Other important business will be brought before the meeting .
Clskkenw ell . —On [ Monday last , the Chartist met as usual fOT tbe transaction of busiucs ; but felt very much the want ] of a proper organization .
