JBSJtBSlJi . GREAT REPEAL DEMONSTRATION OF THlg TRADES OF DUBLIN . DDBL 3 B ^ Jl 3 Ly 3 . The most extraordinary "popular demonstration ever witnessed in this . city toot place to-day , « n the occasion of the meeting of the tradesmen of Dublin iopf&ion , for * 1 R # eal of the Legislative Union . From ihe earlyhour of e ^ ght o'clock ibe streets were thronged by multitudes aaxaousio ^ ritaess the ¦ radons trades proceeding io the plaes-of rendezvous , the beaaural Tillage of PMbsborough , in thenothern sabnrbs .

One Tery unmerous procession , that of the coalporters , Jid not go to the plaee of rendezrous , but proceeded at once io the place of meeting , the celebrated fabr ^ greeniOfDonnybrodk , which they entered about eleven o'clock , headed by a band of thirty musicians , playing Nix my Dolly P They ¦ were rewired by the jfreat crowd already assembled on the green with loud eheering-Abont half-past Jen o ' clock the following trades had assembled a £ PMbsborough ; -s Tobacconists , sbip-¦ wriehts , coopers , saddlers , takers , *» achmakers ,
woollen operatives , hatters , tanners , silk and tabinet "wearers , brass .:. founders , tailors , stone cotters , hosiers , bricklayers , ^ artwrights , house painters , earners , spadeand shovel makers , ropemakers , stucco plasterers , sawyers , cabinet makers , poulterers , no-Eical-instrument makers , boot and shoemakers , baskei-makers , solver chasers , paper , stainers , slaters , ribbon weavers , butehers , chandlers , skinners and parchment makers , carpenters , house smiths , brogue makers , tin-plate- workers } horse sheers , machine ypiiths chair . makers .
About half-past eleven o ' clock the grand movement from PMbsborough commenced , and the trades , with their various bands playing , proceeded across Blaequierre-bridge into Eccles-street , through Upper Dorset-street , Bolton-street , € apel-slreet , otct Essex-bridge , through Dame-street , { which was most densely crowded , especially towards the hill adjoining the castle of Dublin ) , College-green ( where deafening cheers- "were jrren opposite the Bank of Ireland ); next tne procession passed into Grattc-n-Street , Nassau-street , dare-street , and Merrion-EgnsTB , In Has splendid square jsd immense moliarade was assembled on the arrival of the profession , and great numbers were forced to pass by a different Toute towards Donnybrook . The procession passed
on the south side of the square , and drew up in as good order as the pressure of the smltimde would allow , oppositejthe , residence of Mr . O'Connell . Here th « scene was really a most extraordinary manifestation of en tbnsiasm . 31 r . O Connell ] * acoompanied by some ladies and other members of his family , appeared on the "balcony in front , whilst the bands Btruck up ^* See the Conquering Hero comes , " and iheTnnltitude cheered witn a degree ef anima tion and heartiness which I neyer saw equalled at any popular exhibition . Mr . O'Connell acknowledged the greetings of the people by eloquent gestures , but I was not near enough to observe whether lie addressed the multitude . 1 learned that Dr . HD ^ hes . Soman Catholic Bishop of New York , was . amongst those who stood upon the balcony , beside
Hr . tyConnelL , About two o ' clock the first part of the procession reached Donnybrook , and the various trades came in lapidly from that hour , and took up their stations on the JSxtensive iFair-green , tTbe number of tradesmen alone- in the procession , I understand , was 27 , 280 . This was independent of the general population of the -city and neighbouring counties , who floctedto this meeting . At threeo'clocklhe entire of the trades had entered the green , . which was then crowded by a multitude of immense amount , the bands playing lively airs , and the people waiting with" anxiety for the arriral of Mr O'ConnelL J hare heard ^ various estimates of the
numbers present . Some gentlemen on the platform who had been down at the Athlone and Skibereen demonstrations , stated that the multitude here was mnch more numerouB-than at either . The Evening ~ Altai estimates the numbers at * considerably © Ter onehundred thousand persons" ; but other calculations make it doable that number . There was a great number of horsemen , farmers , and others from ihe ¦ neij ^ hbouring - counties . The Jair-jfreen , eonrjaninji , ~ : I should snppose , about Sfieen acres , was crowded , as well as tie xoad adjacent , and part of the Tillage . The mnltitude , notwithstanding its immense extent , was perfectly tranquil and orderly throughout the proceedings . :
At half-past three o ' clock , a tremendous cheer announced -the approach of Mr . O'CocneU , who entered the green seated upon the diekey of his carriage , accompanied by Mr . Steele . As the honourable gentleman made Ms way towards the platform , which was a work of some difficultj , the people cheered with great entbusiaam , and when he appeared upon it , there Tras a renewal of the acclamation , Mr . Ztsbx O'CcfssEii , M . P ., having been sailed to the chair , said he had not words to express his admiration of this magnificent meeting . It was needless to say that it would require mind and heart strong as the mighty demonstration itself ,
when an Irishman looked round upon such a great meeting . After such a-demonstratien , it was impossible to doabt that Hepeal would soon be obtained . He " exhorted the immense multitude to preserve order , although do ad-rice on that score * was necessary upon , this occasion . The spot on which they were . assembled was formerly xemarkable for scenes of disorder ; this day it was the scene of a great peaceful triumph—Uond cheers ) . The Csaxbxas read a letter from Dr . Blake , Bishop of Dromore , apologising for Ms absence , but expressing hi 3 heartv approbation of the objects of the meeting . Mr . Eiikt readsimilar letters from the Bishop of Ardagh and lord-Efrench .
Mr . Petkb Hitghbs came forward to move the Jiu * Tesolnfion ,-r ** That the malignity evinced towards Ireland by the present Cabinet , who direct our august Sovereign , and who . hare coupled her Boyal same with threats against our beloved country , has notjuor shall sot , shake our confidence fa our beloved Queen "Victoria , and Bhoulu that Soyal Iiady require the services of her Irish subjects on any emergency whatever , none amongst that loyal people would be found moreready to shed the last drop ; of their blood , if necessary , in defence of her Royal person and throne , ihaa the tradesmen of the ancient and loyal dry of Dnblin" Mr . Whue ( woollen operafiTe ) seconded the resolution .
Mr , Hsskt f ? T ?* TTt ? t presented himself amidst great cheering . He had ^ Jways been attached to the tradesmen of Dublin—( applause > He had come to support Ills countrymen , and the more immediate cause of Ms coming was the words of Sir James fira hpjn and the sets of ihe House of Commoim . He could do no good in the English Parliament , and , therefore , i-e had come to dowiat ie could in Ireland . The Minister would take from the -Crown the brightest jewel in it—the emerald . He believed that thB people would soon feringdown the Tory Ministry , who bated the people of Ireland and th » ir religion . The Repeal of the Union was the only remedy for the evils of Ireland . He understood there were M > me gentlemen from the English
papers present , . and lie hoped . they would report what Ihey saw and heard , and not give such short reports as they did of Irish proceedings in the House of Commons . He had seen a debate which lasted several iours put into fourteen or fifteen lines . Lei them say that this meeting was sot a mob—Xeheers ) . Lord Clare , in 1781 , called ihe people a mob , and ia the next year his { Mr ^ . Crattan ' s ) father carried independence . ( Cheers . ) The words traitors and perjurerswere misapplied when directed against the people of Ireland ; bat they would prove their , loyalty . ( Cheers . ) He could ronse
their passions if he choose to repeat the words of some of their eminent pateets ; but he abstained sudbadeihemat > eBdtoth 3 advice of their leader . Were the Englishmen to put a brand on their foreheads as well as upon their arms ? Never . ( Loud cheers . ) A union could exist only on a footing of equality ; but the English and Scotch alone were favoured under the existing arrangement . The Qaeen ' s name iad been as « d by a minister who had no authority for it . It was time to show the Queen ihafc they -were loyal , iut on condition thai they were free . { Lond cheering , ) The resolution was adopted .

at Connemara ; its voice ib abroad in the wild ] winds of heaven— ' Repeal of the Union and liberty — ( cheers . "Old Ireland and liberty "—( cheers ) . Yes , there neter was such a national upnsmgtj such a simultaneous declaration of opinion j anon a manifestation of peaceable determination j such a national resolve , recorded in the presenoe of high heaven , announcing to the nations of the eartn that Ireland shall be free , and the union shall be repealed—( cheers ) . All that is requisite iB to manage onr strength ; let there be no riot , no violence , no tumult , b » breach of the peace—{** No , no" ) . We -wi&exhlbit Bobriety , order , tranquility—allcrowned by immortal and imperishable . determination—( cheers ) . We will have our country for ourselves
—( cheers ) . The English are beginning to perceive it ; the British Ministry are quailing before yon . Wellington may attribute it to his old age ; 1 attribute it to his despair . He threatened to go to war with us—( cheers ) . Peel came down jto the House of Commons and cried out— the Queen was with them "—( cheers ) . Was there ever in the history of the world anything so audacious as the conduct of those two ministers —( hear , hear ) . We are looking for the Repeal of an Act of Parliament ; they themselves admit we are lookmg for it peaceably and quietly , and without the violation pf any law ; and yet British constitutional Ministers—MirfiRtgra depending upon Parliamentary Bupport , — not ine Ministers of a despot to be appo ' mtedj-at the
will of the Sovereign alone , but Ministers having at least the name of popular Ministers—dare to talk of such a thing as civil war—( hear , hear ) . Bat they don't speak of it now . We took up the cry ; we declared that we would not go to war withjthem ; that we would observe ihe law j that we rwould attack nobody ; bnt wehurled defiance at those who would attempt to attack us—( cheers)—and accordingly we have gained one victory . We have abashed Wellington and cowed Peel , and Sir James Graham , the man of many lies , and Stanley the maniac—( cheers and laughter ) . We have cowed them .- Poor Stanley , perhaps , being a msn that is touched in the head , and it iB kind for him to be so , will have the audacity to think of going to war with us ; bnt the rest of the ministry have too much good
sense—( hear , hear ) . We are loyal subjects of the Queen—God bless her !—( cheers )—and we Bet the ministry that has her in thraldom and in chains at utter defiance—( cheers ); and is it not worth onr while to persevere —( hear , iear )? I was ; amused by the Tijn « newspaper of Saturday last—( hear , hear ) . A fellow lately published a poem in England , called the Devil ' s TFcflt , and he is rather busy in England just now—( l&nghter ) . He has jobs of his ( doing there ; he has something to do in Sftotland , for ihe Scotch are a littifi vexed ; and he has a trifle to do in Wales , where one fine evening , about a week ago , they threw a troop of dragoons over a bridge—( cheers ) . Those Welch fellows are clever in fearing ont eyes—( laughter ) . This poem of * heDemVi Walk described , amongst other things , the proprietor of the Times newspaper : — s
"The Devil saw the tears fall from Old Walter ' s eyes , ¦ I " Because the Repealers with pikes don't rise u Notwithstanding his charges and calumnies . " —Gaughter ) . Ho ! what vexes them ib , that we inveterately keep the peace . . Nothing frets them so much ; and we are determined that nothing ; shall make ub violate the peace—( hear , hear ) . Poor seedy MNNamara , of the county Clare , was nevermore determined to keep the peace than we are . He took his oath that he wonld drink nothing but . water during the Clare election . His friends did not : think that enongh , and made Mm declare that would not strike any person , even if he were struck himself . A man who heard he was so sworn asked him , if he
were not going to vote against his landlord 1 "I don't care for my landlord , " said ie . " You are a rascal , " said the other , and struck him on the face .. Yet he did nothing , but wiped his face and said , " I have bat two pigs in the world , ana I will tell you what it is , I will sell one of those pigs and give you the price of it'if you give me a blow after the election is over— ( laughter ) . But he took care not to accept his offer . Nothing vexes our enemies so mnch as our dogged perseverance to keep the peace . If you broke a pane of glass , if yon were guilty of the , least riot , the divisional magistrates would have no objection to have you up before them the next morning . But you will not gratify them— ( ones of" No" ) . There is only one way to mortify the enemies of Ireland , and that is , to remain determined , but to continue
peaceable . I delight in the species of authority I have acquired over you , and the readiness with which I am obeyed and I account for it , not from any merits of mine , for I have no merits , bat from the identity of feeling of all the people with me in this majestic straggle to make Ireland a nation again , and to strike down ihe dominion of ike foe and the fiffeigDer—( hear , liear ) . The Timef article , ! published only on Saturday last , begins thus : — "On Monday , we understand , another of Mr . O'Connell ' s monster meetings " , bnt ft is not a monster of wickednest or vice , of drunkenness or riot—it is a monster in the purity of its morality , and the innocence of its conduct—in its forbearance from every bad passion , aad in the moral sentiment that animates us to
rally in the cause of our country , and calls upon us to rescue oar people from poverty and distress , and raise them to prosperity and freedom —( cheers ) . I thank him for the phrase " monster meeting" — ( cheers ) . The Times goes on—" His hundreds of thousands are to meet in the Irish metropolis , to parade along the Liffey in front of the Castlej and to disperse again or not , as Mr . O'Connell shall ohoose "—( hear , hear ) . Why , I choose they shall disperse as soon as the business is done ; but they will not disperse until they shall testify that j they would die to the last man , sooner than lire to be the slaves of any unjust law —( cheers ) . The writer proceeds— " He , of course , will choose that it should disperse peaceably . He wonld be an idiot , and he
is none —[ I am very much obliged to him ]—( laughter)—If he did not continue the process of training Ms troops—[ they call you my troops]—( cheers and laughter >—and threatening the peace of the country ( which I don't do ) as long as he is allowed to do so in tranquillity" —( cries ofhear , hear , hear ) . I am glad the ruffian admits that we are ia a state of tranquility . ( Cheers ) . My troops are tranquil , and thongb they are able to fight they are unwilling to do so . They will never begin the contest . They are able to defend themselves if they are attacked , but they are too good and too virtuous to gratfy their enemies by commencing any contest . < Cheers ) . I wish to meet this newspaper on another point . They accuse me
of not using arguments to the people , and j only using abusive terms . They Bay , "" We allow a demagogue professing and stimulating a i > ajbwou 3 hatred of onr very same and blood , to muster and harrangne his myriads of deluded peasantry / ' J would be glad to know who began it . They are surprised at the animation of the Irish people , and their determination no longer to submit to Saxon rule . I have here no less than six pages that Bhave extracted from the limes and other newspapers , consisting of abuse of the iriBh people . ( Hear , hear . ) Allow me to tell yon what they .-call us . They call us a dirty race—a lazy race—superstitions beasts—brutes—savages , worse than the cannibals of Hew Zealand . ( " Oh , oh ") . They accuse ns of
sousing them , and I % m telling yotn . be provocation we receive . They call ub robbers , perjurers , assassins , wholesale murderers , and they call our clergy *• sanguinary scoundrels , " " snrpliced ruffians , " " assassins , and promoters of assassination by fire and with the knife , " " murderous brutal tyrants " " demon priesthood . " In The Titties alone of 11835 , I have selected these epithets applied to the ecclesiastical body of the people of iraland : —•* Pious terrorists , " "Popish rafnans , who disgraee the same of Christian ministers in Ireland , " ** contrivers of savage and unprincipled machinations / ' " tyrants of a barbarian multitude— a rabble who cannot comprehend the difference between right and wrong , " " spiritual tyrants
leaguing themselves with the fierce , passions of an idle , poor , and untaught , save is bo far as the ; are an ill-taught , multitnde , 1 ' u brutal autocrats , bearing the same of priests , " " wretched impostors who are neither Christians nor . men of honour / ' "thelmoBt absolute , selfish , coarse , and hateful tyrants that ever oppressed the earth , " w curpliced ruffians , " " vulgar minded , shallow , and unprincipled quacks , " " atrooiouB hypocrites , who set at defiance every law . " I fling back irith ineffable contempt ; and indignation the calumnies of our Saxon oppressors . I proved , incontestably , that the terms which they applied to ns were only applicable to themselves . I proved that onr English rnlers had been from } time immemorial * sanguinary monsters"in their conduct
to Ireland . I demonstrated this fact in my jwork upon Ireland and the Irish ; and what is more , I demonstrated it principally by the evidence oil Protestant historians ; but before I engaged in my task I thought it right to make the selection of specimens of English eloquence which 1 have this day ? submitted to your notice . I fling back the calumnies of the Saxoss to their teeth , and I have proved to demonstration that our oppressors are themselves what they wonld describe us to be . 1 ask them ' , lias not the bread which they have cast upon thB waters of bitterness come back to them with interest 1 i Has not the seed which they have sown borne a plentiful harvest 1 Have they not succeeded in creating in this country a detestation of their tyrannical misrule ! Have they not alienated the hearts , feelings , and sympathies of the Irish people—( hear , hear )!
The hon . andlearned gentleman proceeded to observe that the Irish people , in the glorions efforts -which they were now making for the regeneration of -their TOuctry , were cheered on and inspirited by the sympathy and good wishes of the wise and enligh tened in every nation of the world . All Europe was lookmg on with interest and admiration at the struggle in which they were now engaged . } Nor Europe onl y : the Btory of Ireland's wrong 3 had been "wafted to the uttermost bounds of the earththe Africans £ ven on their sandy shores , had beard the names and read the achievements of the Irish jleadcra , and longed for men as faithful and as energetic to point out for them the path to happiness and liberty . ( Hear , hear , and loud cheers . ) Need ¦ he tell them that the cause of the oppressed Irish

millions commanded the affectionate sympathy of their friends at the other side of the Atlantic . ( Hear , hear . ) The heart of America was with them I The Repeal Association would meet to-morrow , and he would then hand in the sum of £ 1 , 126 , which had been transmitted to the Repeal exchequer by the free , enlightened , and liberty-loving men of America . ( Prolonged cheers . ) Wellington would hear that with Surprise , and crafty Peel would shrug his « honlders "; s ^ nificantly on hearing the intelligence . The Association would devote one entire day to the reading of the American correspondence by which this splendid contribution had been accompanied , and efficient means should be taken to convince the Americans of the depth , solidity , and
sincerity of Irish gratitude . ( Loud and continued oheera . ) Hia son had demonstrated to them by ingenious statistical calculations the ruinous results of the Act of Upionnpon the commerce and manufactures of Dublin ; but , 0 , how different would be the picture they would have to draw if to-morrow ' s sun were to rise upon the preparations for opening the Irish Parliament House—oar old house at homeand that before his setting the Lords and Commons of Ireland were to assemble in full council within the halls of College-green—( hear , hear ) . If the day had arrived when he could address from the portal of the Irish Honseof Commons , anji in the front of College-green , the men whom he was now addressing upon the plains' of Donnybroek , how glorious ,
how delightful would be the tale he would have to recount to the congregated trades of Dublin ! He would have to inform them that 120 princely mansions would be required to be built , fitted up and furniBhedin a etyleof the most splendid magnificence ; that 300 houses would be required for the resident gentry , whose servants and establishments would be regularly ! maintained Irom year ' s end to year ' s end in Dublin ; and what an impulse would be given by this intelligence to our national industry , commerce , and manufactures . It would be next to impossible to pass through the streets in consequence of the vast number of splendid equipages which would continually be rolling through their city avenues . Grafton-street would have to be widened ;
Damestreet ( broad as it now was ) would have to be opened still farther ; Cork-hill must be made a square of , Thomas-street would once more wear its ancient aspect of commercial opulence ; the busy hum of the shuttle wonld again resound in the now desolate and grass-covered streetB of the liberty , and the whole city would present ] that appearance of happiness , splendour , and substantial comfort which it wore before the passing of the blighting act of Union—( tremendous cheers ) . The carpenters would be covered with their own chips , the slaters would be singing on xhe top of all the house-roofs , and the employers would be coming to the tradesmen , as was the wont in days of yore , with retaining fees of £ 5 or £ 10 , in order to secure the services of a
good-workman for three or four months consecutively . Let them be but true to themselves—let them be but united and persevering , and success was inevitable . They had already achieved a splendid victory in their endeavour to assert and vindicate the principles of religions liberty—liberty of conscience ; and the Repeal movement had this great advantage ovei the Catholic emancipation movement , that , whereas it was the rich and influential who were principally , if not exclusively , benefitied by the former , there was no class in the community , however humble , that would not be permanently and inconceivably benefitted by the latter . He was now working for the people j it wasj into their cause that he had thrown his energies ; It was a great cause—a noble
and heart-Btirring cause . The snows of age were » a his brow , yet he felt as though he received a fresh accession of juvenile spirit and juvenile vigour when he reflected upon the magnitude and importance of the cause to which he had dedicated his energiesto which he had devoted the purpose of his life—( great cheers ) . His [ heart bounded—hia Bpirit exulted—he felt &b though he trod upon air when he looked around him and found himself surrounded by myriadB of hia countrymen who were resolved upon achieving the liberty and independence of their native country . He would take nothing short of Repeal-Repeal before everything ; Repeal id preference to everything . This was what he was struggling for . Too long had he said that if England gave us justice he
would not look for Repeal ; but he now altered the tenor of his song . England has not the power of doing the Irish people justice otherwise than by the restoration of her native legislature ; for thiB was the only measure that could establish our commerce and manufactures upon a lasting basis . This alone oould keep our rents at home ; this alone could give Ireland to the Irish ! and the Irish to Ireland . He did not care what England did—he was for Repeal —live or die—( immense cheering ) . There -was a fool , in Kerry once ( where there were not many by the way ) wno , having found a hen's nest , watched till the old one went away , and then laid hold of the eggs and commenced , sucking them . When he was swallowing the first of them , the chicken that was
within the egg squeaked as it went down his throat — " Ah , my lad , " said the fool , •' you spoke too late " —( loud laughter ) . Now , he ( Mr . O'Connell ) was no fool , ie knew now to suck eggs ; but if England were now to tell as ehe would do justice , he would reply , like the tool ini Kerry , You spoke too lato " —( loud cheers ) . Let England do justice to herself , and she wonld find she would have enough of business on her hands . The enemies of Repeal endeavoured to disprove the practicability of Repeal by arguing that the bill for the restoration of the Irish Parliament must , before it becomes law , be read three times successively in the Lords and Commons of England ; but this was a fallacy . They would not trouble the Lords and Commons . The Union
would be repealed without the Lords and Commons of England , and despite of them ; for the Queen ( whom Heaven preserve and bless ) had it in her power to issue her writs from ^ Chanoery : forthwith the Irif h Parliament would start again into existence proprio vigore . The Hon . and Learned Gentleman then repeated what he said in Galway respecting the power of the Queen to issue writs and convene an IriBh Parliament , and direoted the attention of the hearers to the fact , that when it was in contemplation to pass the Act of Union , Saurin , Bushe , Plunkett , and the most inveterate Tories of the day , declared that the Irish representatives had no legal right whatever to annihilate the IriBh Senate . They were sent into Parliament to enact laws and not destroy legislatures . Mr . O'Connell then proceeded to enumerate the various blessings which ha alleged would Row from Repeal .
and foremoBt amongst which he said were the abolition of the tithe-rent charge and the annihilation of Poor Laws for ever ; in Ireland . Fixity of touure would also be accomplished—a measure which would put an end to the present atrooieus system of reciprocal murders of landlords and tenants , tenants and landlords ; and ; such a magical effect would the enactment of-Repeal have upon our monetary interests , that ) our National Debt—which , properly speaking ,: was only £ 40 , 000 , 000—would be wiped away in five years , and Ireland wonld , like Norway , be one of the most lightly taxed countries in the world . He implored of them not to despair of the fortunes of their country . If the Irish . people were but united—it they would but persevere unto the end , they would succeed in achieving their liberty and independence . While they pitied other nations they would rejoice in the glory of their own ,
for" The nations were falling , yet she was still young , Her sun was but rising while others had set , And though slavery ' s clouds o ' er her morning had hung , The full moon of freedom would beam round her yet . " The Hon . and Learned gentleman resumed Jus seat amid loud and general acclamations . Several resolutions , principally referring to the state of trade in Ireland , were moved and seconded by tradesmen , who ' addressed the meeting in no measured langaage . IThey , together with the usual petition , having been adopted , the meeting separated shortly after so . o ' clock , the trades returning as they dine , though by different routes , in the order of procession , with their banners flying and their bauds playing .

FATAL DUEL . " An Effair of honour , " as the barbarous practice of fighting a duel is termed , took place on Saturday last , in the neighbourhood ¦ of Camden-Town and Xentiah-Town , between Lieutenant-Colonel D . L . Fawcett , el the 55 th Foot , and : his brother-in-law , Lieutenant Monroe , of the Boyal Herse Guards ( Blue ) , which was attended with fatal results . It appears that about a quarter-past five o ' clock , a police constable , who was on duty in Tottenham Courtroad , near the Camden-road Villas , observed two cabs , the first containing two gentlemen inside , and the second three gentlemen , pass down Maiden-lane ! in the direction of Higbgate . ; About ten minutes afterwards
he was alarmed by hearing a single shot fired , and by seeing the two cabs return at a very speedy rate , with bnt three out of the five gentlemen . Shortly afterwards , Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett was found lying in an adjoining field , where be had been shot . Mr . George Gulliver , the surgeon of the Royal Horse Guards ( Bine ) , was standing by the side of the wounded gentleman . Colonel Fawcett was immediately conveyed to the Camden Arms , where ho expired on Monday morning . The deceased was in Ms 40 th year , and be has left a widow and ] a young family . The ball had entered the unfortunate gentleman ' s body on the right side , passed through , toe right long , aad had dropped into the intestines , in a similar manner to that in the case of the late Mr . Drammond .
Colonel Fawcett is reported to have distinctly stated to Ms-wife , before he ] died , that be had not fired at lieutenant Monroe , nor did he intend to do so ; bat that the choice of fire falling on the latter , he had scarcely taken hia position before he was shot , and that all the other parties , whose names he refused to give , with the exception of Mr . Gulliver , ran away on the instant . > An inquest was holden on Monday last , before Mr . Wakely , thb coroner , jwhen evidence was adduced to show that the deceased had been found in the field adjoining Maiden-lane ; and that when asked what was

the matter , had warmly resorted ? on the policemen . " What is that to you—it is au accident ; " and that he was removed from the place where he was found to the inn where the body lay . Medical witnesses also detailed the cause of death , clearly showing that it was from the wound received by the piBtbl-shot . There were no parties present to identify the deceased ; and it being necessary that steps should be taken to apprehend those immediately pneersed . in the production of the death of the Colonel , the inquiry was adjourned to Thurday . Warrants have been made oat for the apprehension of Lieutenant Munroe and the other parties concerned ; but they have hitherto evaded detection , excepting Mr .
Gulliver , who was taken into custody on the spot where the deceased was found , and jwho has been before the Marylebone Police Magistrate , and held to bail , himself ia £ 500 and two sureties in £ 250 eaoh , to appear again . He promised the magistrates to attend the inquest on Monday , bat failed to do so . The Coroner , therefore , issued a warrant for his apprehension ; but the efforts of . the of&cera to execute it have not been of avail . He keeps ont of the' way , as does also Lientenant Monroe . The report is circulated that the latter has escaped to France ; but ; it is not believed . The general impression is that he is still in London ; and a number of the detective ; police are on the alert at the different wharfs from which foreign steamers depart .

TO THE-EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear SiRf—I write to inform you and the Chartists in general of the treatment I received at the baud of our would-be-Defence Fund Committee , when I received notice to appear at the Court of Queen ' s Bench . I applied for money to take me to London , so that I should be there to receive the sentence of the Court , but I was told by the treasurer of the above fnnd in Manchester , that they could not give me any , nor | should he give me any . There ' s Democracy for you ! So you see I must be left without . But they could find money for Leach and Doyle ' s expences butjnene for me . I should like to know the reason why my expences should not be paid as well as either Mr . Leach ' s or Mr . Doyle ' s . My liberty is as dear
to me as either of theirs . What am I treated in this manner for ? Is it for deserting the principles for which we are struggling ? No : that I defy any ene to say ; or to point tojone single act of mine that will bear that out . It to , I think , for telling them my mind about a fortnight before ; so it ia spite that has done it . My friends , there cannot' be a more bare-facced robbery of my rights , than the one referred to . Oa the Sunday night , previous to starting for London , the council of the Carpenters' Hall locality agreed that a collection should be made , the same to be divided equally between the Manchester victims : so that onethird of that . ' collection belongs to me ; but lo and behold Mr . ¦ — -4— gets his hands on it , and then he does as he thinks proper with it : so he divides it betwixt
Leach and Doyle , and robs me of my right to one-third of it . This is democracy , is it ? If this be the way our principles lead men to act , the sooner we have done with them the bettor ; but-we all knowthey will not ? Well , after being served in this manner what was I to do ? 1 had no money—I had no work so as to earn it ; and what had I no work for ? for being a Chartist And mbretban that , I was not able for many months if I bad had any to do , through the Hall of Science row , when I had my head as well as my arm broken ; and I am sorry to say the arm never will be as it ought to be . I am crippled for life , and to be treated in this manner is rather too bad . So my friends you will see at at once , what I was obliged to do . I am Sorry to say , I ! was obliged to take my cheat of tools
to pledge for the money to bring me to London to receive the sentence of the court . ' But we have not got bo far as that yet ; we have to baVe another go for it Then how am I to get to London , if I am wanted again ? You will bear in mind I have no more chests of tools . I cannot raise the money to defray my own expences . I was informed that if I did not appear , I should be liable to imprisonment for contempt of Court So what had I to do , bat do as I did . Nothing ; no means were left me . I should not have thought -so much about it , if it had been done by the great body of Chartists of Manchester . Bat for two or three who are not fit to be called men to take so much upon themselves , I neither can , nor will I stand it with impunity .
1 request the men of Manchester to look to it , and take their affairs into their own hands ; and then I am certain justice will be ; done to ali . I remain . Yours in the cause of democracy , ; Thomas Railton . London , Monday , May 15 , 1843 . [ We have had this letter in type ever since the period of its Oato ; but . have witheld it lest it might injure the subscriptions to the Victim Fund . That fund being now closed , and accounted for , we think it no more than duo to poor Railton , whom we deem an excellent Chartist , and a most ill-used man , that he eboald be allowed to tell !„ bis tale . There is no better Chartist than Thomas Railton . He was crippled for life , poor fellow , at the attack on the CbartlBta in the Hall of Science ; and as we think it hard that each a man should be treated in the way bis letter describe * . — Ed . N . SO ^^

IO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sib , —I have read in the fifth page of the Star , of last week , your letter to the people . I hope you will not fail to fulfil your promise . You say you will tell all about the ! facts which many don't knew , " connected with the strike , the outbreak , the Manchester Conference , and the flinging of the Chartists into the League-trap . " ; These things are what a discerning people should long since nave known . -For many years I have admired your ad vice to the people in the columns of the Northern Star . I never had the pleasure of
knowing you before the Conference of Delegates assembled in Manchester , on the 16 th of August last ; and I mast confess that your counsel then was admirable , at a time , too , when the political horizon was clouded with forthcoming events . I now wish , with all my heart , that your advice had been then received . Same of as have fallen into ihe pit , we had : flo firmly resolved to avoid . Well ! let us get out again , and quit it for ever 1 Let as from this day forward be more upon our guard . Let us avoid the drones , who although they make , more noise and are morel eager to work than bees : make only
wax and no honey . The strike ; commenced three miles from whlere I now live . I knew nothing whatever about it until all the mills in Hyde were stopped . The people assembled in the Market-place . I addressed myselfjto them . I advised them to avoid the League . iTbere was a resolution submitted to the meeting to the tffsct that the Hyde people should go to Manchester the following day to stop the mills . I opposed the resolution ; but the people being desirous to go , 1 withdrew my oppostion ; and I said " I would sink or swim with the people . " The middle class-men called a meeting the following day , none to be admitted bat * hopocrat 8 i I succeeded in gaining admittance . A coachman to one of the cotton lords was called to the chair . He proceeded . to business . There was a resolution proposed to the effect that they would support the " workeys , ' en condition that the Charter should not be mentioned at any public meeting I ;
Now I wish my Chartist friends to understand that all the men at that meeting were Leaguers , and , by excluding the Charter , they intended to introduce the question of Corn Law Repeal ; and thereby place Chartism in abeyance . I was on the look out I proposed the resolution passed by the shopkeepers of Burnley , in May , 1842 . } That pinned the knaves . They found out their mistake , and they lefc the ; meeting without coming to any definite plan . I had before fought those men unceasingly ; and bad aaccceededin destroying the anti-Corn Law " agitation here . There" was nob a vestage of it to be found , X had nailed the Ghartiat nag to the mast , and had it fluttering in the breeze .. My exertions brought upon me the vengeance of the Whig magistrates . They sought to have me secured ; and on the 201 h of August , at the hour of twelve , the bloodhounds came to arrest me . I effected my escape by going into a cellar , which was ; unnoticed by the Police . This saved me from the wrath of an Ablnger .
I then made , my way to Dublin , where I found a staff of Stirling and genuine Chartists . Their sympathy to me was without limit—not a wag of the lips , but the opening of their parses . If mast return my most sincere thanks to the brave and generous O'Higgins ; and also to the old champion , Mr . Rafter , and
Untitled Article
co the generous Mr . Murphy , of Drogheda ; and in fact to the Irish Chartists generally . There are more Chartists in Iraland than the English Chartists are aware of . My wife remained three ) months after me in Hyde , ia extreme misery and distress , unaided . Being desirous to see me . she sold her furniture for one-sixth of the cost , to defray the expenses of her journey . The Charter being foremost in ] my thoughts , caused me to return as soon as I could , at the expense of the Irish Universal Association . I had to leave my wife and two children in Ireland , { without means to support
them . My former masters will not now employ me ; so I must be victimized . j I care nothing about myself , when compared with the condition of my family . If this world has no charms for me , misfortune has also lost its stings . I received a letter from my wife yesterday , and I do not know but before this reaches your office but that she may be the inmate of the Irka infernal bastile . I call aloud to the humane Chartists of Great Britain to help to restore me my family , and to prevent them from the horrors of the Irish poor-law .
Hoping that a generous and sympathising people will respond to my call , I am , One who has suffered , and yet has to suffer , because an uncompromising and unflinching Chartist , j J . M . Leach . 82 , Charles-street , Hyde , July 4 , 1843 .

REPEAL OF THE ! UNION AND THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER . Mr . O'Connor lectured upon these subjects on Monday evening , at the Sooial Hail , John-street , Tottenhara-Court-road . Shortly after eight o ' clock Mr . Large was called tojthe chair , and , in a neat and appropriate speech , introduced Mr . O'Connor , who was received with great applause . Mr . O'Connor commenced by referring to hia establishing , eight years back , the Great Radical Association . He received the Chairman ' s delicate , but well merited censure , pat he had not been sufficiently among them since that period . His name bad often been announced , but it bad been without bis consent ; and dissappointment had been the result . This , he trusted , Would be guarded against in futsre . He rejoiced jthat the committee had chosen for the subject of bis address , the two prominent subjects of a Repeal of the Legislative Union
with Ireland and the People ' s Charter . All other subjects of agitation , when compared with these , were of minor importance . If they looked at the question of the Church ot Scotland , the Education Bill , the battle between | the agriculturists and the manufacturers , or any other question whioh occupied the public mind , they would see that they were not worth the slightest attention , nor likely to be productive of the slightest benefit to the working man . If they turned to the " Rebecca" agitation in Wales , of what benefit was it [ to them ? They bad no horses to pay toll for—they did not complain of the low price of agricultural produce , for they had no laud to grow it . j The parties engaged in all these sectional agitations would join heart and soul to put down ) the Charter agitation and perpetuate the continuance of middle-class ascendancy . All their complaints were bottomed on class-interests ; and all ^ ueir efforts directed to relieve those burdens which pressed peculiarly on
themselves ; and if justice was done to them , it would be at the expense of injustice to the working men . They complained oft excessive taxation ; but while the present system ] of legislation continued , the taxes taken off the shoulders of the middle-class would be placed upon the shoulders of the workers . As long as the National Debt was kept up , a certain amount of taxes must be raised ; and as the workers were the weakest party ihey would have to make up any deficiency . The middle-classs thought it hard to have to pay three-and-a-half per cent for an Income Tax ;; but out of a revenue of £ 60 , 000 , 000 , before tbe imposition of the Income Tax , riot more than £ 300 , 000 was paid by ] them in direct taxation .
In looking round the ro 6 m , he saw many Irishmen present . What had broaghtjthem to England ! Was it love to them ! No . Was fit hatred 1 No . It was the tyranny of the Union , whieh had caused upwards of 2 , 000 , 000 of Irishmen to flock to the British shores , many of them able-bodied men . He would not mention a word about physical force ( oheers and laughter ); but it had brought them 2 , 000 , 000 able-bodied men ] which was a greater physical force than the whole British army . When they were weak , it might be well to talk of physical force ; but now they werejstrong , they despised it . The Times newspaper declared that the Repeal agitation must be made treason . Mr . O'Connor then alluded to the conduct of the Times in
misrepresenting hia speech at Manchester . He likewise spoke of Mr . S . Lane Fox . He did not credit it that he was affected with f the prevailing disease of monomania ; the probability was , that Mr . Fox being a great Yorkshire sportsman , had been bitten by one of his own dogs , and was afflicted with hydrophobia . The Times asserted that Ireland bad no grievances to complain of . ] It asserted the same of Wales until " Rebecca" opened its eyes ; and tben it produced a long list of j grievances , which it declared ought long ago to have been repealed . If the Times was eo ignorant of the grievances in Wales , which was separated from ! England only by a tollbar , how could they expect it to be acquainted with those of Ireland , which was separated by the sea i
Government was fast teaching them , that nothing could be got by prayers and petitions . Any person who looked at past history would have ample confirmation of that truth . Mr . O'Connor then alluded to the Emancipation Act , which wrung from the fears of the Government what they denied to justice . They refused ! to justiee and common sense what they granted to the fear of the flame and the dagger . The ensuing } morning would witness the commemoration of the ( achievement of American Independence—not by moral bat by physical force ; and who could blame the [ Irish people for a similar conduct , if they should bejforced into a civil war , or goaded into resistance 1 j They might rest assured neither the Iron Duke , nor , Peel , would attempt to
benefit the condition of Ireland , until the people in thunder demanded it , and ] it became dangerous to resist . Their Chairman had asserted that he would not give a pin for the Repeal of the Union , unless accompanied by the adoption of the People ' s Charter . Why was France , with a population Of fortytwo million ? , satisfied with a less constituency than England with a populationjof thirty-three millions ! It was because in Englandjthey had only the theory of lib . Tiy , while in France , they had it In practice . Ia France , they had no law of primogeniture , and they had " fixity of tenure . " So long as the vote was vested ia the land , and ( not in the man , as Catholic leases fell in , they would be , given , even at a lower rentage , to Protestant voters ; but if the Repeal was accompanied by "fixity of
tenure , " they would then let the ground to the highest bidder , whether Catholic ; ' man or Protestant voter . They were told that Irishmen are eitner opposed to the Charter or don ' t understand it ; it was all fudge . An Irishman could see as far into a stone wall as an Englishman . It was the feuds kept up by interested parties , which made Irishmen stand aloof from the agitation . They bad equal grievances to complain of in both countries ; and the same parties were the oppressors of bath . He ; challenged them to look at the past ten years , during which he had been the unpaid advocate of the working men , and point out on what day he had said a word , or what article he had writ : en , calculated to create or perpetuate feuds between the two countries , j In the year 1800 , if the
National Debt had been divided into htteen parts , the result would have been ( that only 2-fifteenihs of it appertained to the share of Ireland . Had not England suffered from the Union , in having to maintain a large standing arm y ) and an expensive Law Established Church ? His countrymen had been told not to pay much attention to his advocacy of Repeal , as he was only a new convert . Why , in 1823 he was compelled to leave his country for eighteen months , for writing a pamphlet ia jits favour . In 1833 , he 80 worked , that in the large county of Cork , which returned eight members , only one member was returned who was opposed to Repeal . In the first number of the Northern Star , he stated his determination to agitate in its favour . If
he was a hasty convert show him the man whose blood had b ' een shed as his had been . If they could show him the man who for twenty years had laboured harder for it than he had , then he would allow him to be a better Repealer . He had always contendedjfor "fixity of tenure . " In 1835 , when M . P ., he had put a notice of motion on the books of the House lot' Commons to accomplish that purpose ; and after having struggled so loug for it ; after having aroused in both countries a prejudice against him by his determined adherence to it , was it to be supposed that he should now abandon it for any less measure of justice I They were told that Ireland was b | eing filled with troops . Of what use were troops , when there was no one to
n « ht 1 or of cannon , when there was nothing to bombard ? His countrymen did not want to fight ; or if they did , it was with the" blue bottles , " and not with the soldiers . There was no doubt bat that policemen were in that room , disguised with moustachios , to report to Sir James Graham as well as their treacherous memories Would allow . Let them report ; if they reported honestly , Graham would be a good deal wiser for it' Peel bad repealed 750 Acts of Parliament in one night . The Reform Bill was also a regular breaking up { of all the laws of the State , Of the eight articles of the Legislative Union there was not one which had not been
violated . The Act of Union settled 100 M . P . 's as the portion for Ireland . The Reform Bill violated that , by giving her 105 . Another artiole settled a certain annual sum for education , not one tittle of which had ever been properly applied . Mr . O'Connor then showed how ths other articles of the Union had been abrogated , and contended that the contract was null and void . He then alluded , in terms ( of high commendation , to the exertioaa of Father Mathew . That apostle had appealed from Ireland drunk to Ireland sober . He highly admired the course taken by that excellent man in refraining from introducing politics . He had sufficient confidence in Irish honesty and
Untitled Article
Irish judgment to leavo those questions in their own hands . Mr . O'Connor tben dwelt on the prospect of affairs in Spain , and of the voice from across the Atlantic in favour of Repeal . He repudiated , in strong terms , any idea of foreign interference ia achieving their object . When Ireland was sufficiently united she was quite powerful enough to effect every change which she desired . She had also the sympathy of the 3 , 500 , 000 British hearts who petitioned in favour of Repeal , when she herself was slumbering upon the measure . Mr . O'C . then demonstrated the very different feeling now existing in England in favour of Ireland and her rights , to what existed tea years back ; and concluded a brilliant and effective address , of which the above is only a faint outline , by reiterating his determination to stand orfall by the People's Charter .
Mr . Clark , in a very . effective speech , moved a . vote of thanks to Mr . O'Connor for his past and present services , which was ably seconded by Mr . James Cook , and carried by aclamation . Mr . O'Connor briefly acknowledged the compliment , alluded to his establishing , eight years previous , the Marylebone Radical Association ; and stated that during the two years lie was on theoommittee , he was never absent from hi&duty . The time was now approaching when similar strenuous exertions would be necessary ; for poverty was driving the middle classes to contend for the same rights which the working classes were actuated by principle in . contending for . Mr . O'C . Bat down loudly cheered . The meeting place wag densely crowded , especially in the galleries . The charge for admission was one penny to the hall , twopence , to the gallery , and three * pence to the platform .
