In all leyolniions , jwhe gjer moral or physical ) the press has stood in the foreground , and has been the herald of war or the required change . The Movement party has wrer lookedio the press as the . proneers « f freedom j bat ia our case the press Jias not been satisfied irith neutrality crsSenee , bat has waged deadly Ytt , not ' against onr principles as entertained and ^ xponnded by ourselves , but against the ' fbul ; Con-« trac : ioQ put noon them by oar bitterest enemies .

      If ihe _ "Movement" party in . England had been fs&hMly representedby the liberal pre * £ froh jsskihs period when the people , for whose benefit gg . Bfi&rm ~ Bal was carr ^ ed s ^ became ^ diBgnsJed ynih the manner in which the Reformers ^ earned Jheir principles Into practice , all the outbreaks , incarcerations , and transportations that hare since token place wonld have been spared . 'Tbi false representation made of our party hy : the . prees , bad the effect of justifying the tyranny of the Government , the Injustice of the law , the partiality < rf thejnry , jnd " thB class prejudices of onr opponents . In fzci , as I hare more than once stated , the Ecglish working classes were a disarmed nation outlawed by an armed faction * We hare not only had to

      siand against perpetual sectional war from without , bui ' we have had to contend against internal strife . And , behold ! ire have maintained our position ogainst iolhX In &rmar' § BM 3 , ttt 5 _ working' fclasse 3 , re quired bnt little marshalling to be brought into the Idd to ight the battle of their oppressors . They irere then less dependant than they are now npon fiieir task-masters ; while bow , in their greater I dependency , being marshalled under a denned principle , and directed by an improved mind , they withstand not only the invitation of faction , bnt the suited assaults of all their oppressors ! When then , I ask , did the community of labour , in any country since the formation of the world , contend , &nd successfully , against the sectional and united power of all other classes and estate !

      The reason that I write to yon now , my friends , isjbecanse a new era is coming upon ns ; because I seethe gathering of the different elements which ¦ mD constitute the storm , and because I wish to prepare yon for its bursting . Men are Bometimes saimlng ; and men are . sometimes : over-cunning . Hen sometimes make the most of passing events ; men sometimes are ^ oo hasty in their attempts to tarn passing events to profitable purposes . Such is

      precisely the case with the Whig party at the present moment . They have seized npon the Irish trials , for which themselves furnished ample precetent ) a 3 the means of resuscitating the Whig party ; sud averse as I am to Whig despotism , and to Tory despotism , I must confess that the Tory Graham snrwered all that Lord John Russell had advanced , Bid all that every subsequent speaker upon the "Whig side could advance , in the three first lines of las reply , when he triumphantly exclaimed— " I do

" O , my friends , how humiliating must this stinging reproach have been , lot -only , to the "ETiglfch Whigs , bnt to the Irish liberals , who , notwithstanding both Coercion Bill and Trial by Courts Martial , gave their unqualified and undivided support to the enemies of Irekcd for eight successive years , —hiding past atrocity in present patronage ! It is not only in the House of Commons that J see 8 se hungry pack flocking for the carrion ; bnt out cf ihe House of Commons J see the vultures , and sH the birds of prey , hovering around their own share of the repast .

      The Whigs , if restored to power , promise to fight tie battle of capital against labonr ; of Free Trade , with the monopoly of legislation , against any protee ^ on of labour and the capitalists of their party rally round them outside . The Irish Members , as well as the English Members , throughout the Irish debate , have made the degradation of Catholic Ireland the rallying word for Irish support ; and yet we find xhs leading Irish Catholic ready to associate himself , upon the English " rousing" question of Free Trade , with one who has thanked God that be was not born a Catholic , or in a Catholic country ; and who has charged npon the TriRh Catholics the foul crime of having " debased , demoralized , and communicated vermin to the English people . "

      Here , then , are the elements of which the next " union" is to be composed . The Irish trials are to be the Whigs stock in trade for the House and for Ireland i and the sympathy created for 3 ir . O'ConneH by those trials is to be used as the means of Tallying the Tfoi £ liRri upon the English qnestion . Tr , U is now oar position . In the Star of last week , you read the following announcement made by Mr . O'Connell at the Repeal Association in Dublin : —

      " The ministry 1 * 76 Kt their fcce directly tgainrt the Anti-Corn Law League ; and tfce Anti-Corn Law Xetgue "WILL SECXSSABItT BE BBIVXK TO BOrSB TS £ PEOPLE OF EUGIAXD— to hrixf fktmto consider He coxstiiidion of ifa Sense tf Cctmsqix , and Hie crgazic change necessity .

"

      Bow often haTe I assured yon that the proper opportunity was all that was required for the avowal of this " -union" between Sttbge and O'Cokkexx ? between the Complete Snffragists , and the Corn Law Leaguers 1 How often have SruBGEand his party and O * C 055 Eix and his party , denied the assertion : snd yet you now "behold its verincation V In f uriherance of thiB ° common design , *' we , find "that Mr . O'Cosseix is announced as the chief actor in the League farce , to be performed on Wednesday at Covent Garden . But although the combatants , —

      for " agreement / ' there will be none , CCoskell ccnUnding but in mockery for a priority of an Extension of the Snirage as a means of effecting a repeal of the Corn Xaws , and the Leaguers on their part contending for their nostrum as a means to the end , —yet the " common object" will be to dupe the jfcjle into a Whig confederacy . It is right then xctcnly that we should take eur stand , but ihtt rr-position should be understood . I can speak lut f ct myself ; and jty resolve and fixed dettrmination is ^ xcreEEed in the following quotation : —

      * Cce e cne , ccme all ; Tierock stall fly , . Ei cm its firni base as soon as I . " Having taken a tolder stand against the injustice of the Irish irials than any msn living , even itan O'Connell himEelf , I am not Ench a ** onething-at-a ^ ime" pelitician as to allow even to great an injustice to be made an improper use of . While ihe Chartists are prepared to remonstrate -againEt ifce act of injustice , they will not be prepared to Rive it an undue influence in the consideration of fhe whole qnestioa of Whig and Tory polity j and above all they will not allow it to be Eet np as a beacon light to lure them from their own course . It would lie Bselefis to travel over the old beaten

      ground of Tory perfidy , and of Whig falseness and treachery to-Ireland . Of these facts their whole ragn is one unbroken chain of evidence . They had Snrer to do good and to do justice ; they did evil tod worked injustice . Now thej are powerless in ttauequerce of Jheir perfidy j and they ask to be feasted once more . In ihis state of thiugB thereda bat one course open to the people ; that is , the strait * oad which they have so long walked iu . All the ; iEfiaence 3 of name , of injustice , of money wrung by Capitalists from their starving victims , of the Press , _ tofl cf ihejonited Factions , will be marshalled and battled against ns .

      TO -THE CHARTIST PUBLIC . Mr PMEKisiAKfciledi as I have been , not only by the whote prefs of EBgland and Ireland in the service of the Whigs and Tories , but also by every newspaper ^ pamphlet , magazine , and publication , established npon the mere speculation of making profit of my ruin , * hfle ^ I am denied the right of defending myielf against those attacks in my own newspaper , 1 have been driven to the very expensive alternative of publishing an elaborate reply in answer to two of my most virulent and reeent accusers —Mr . Hill and Mr . Watkins . Ab my reply eubraces

      every single accusation that-has been brought against me during the last eleven years , I have most aBxiously to request its calm and considerate perusal by every Chartist in the kingdom ; andral £ o ,. aa fc favour , to ask . those who can purchase H £$ 3 eiQ * < lit 1 « those who cannoTpurchase it . It will 1 » found that I neither evad « nor Bhirk anything . That 1 answer seriatim the whole of Mr . Watkins' fifteen charges ; and also that I refute every single assertion of Mr . Hill by incontrovertible evidence . I feel assured that you will also acquiesce in the propriety of my resolution to take no more notice of any slander that may be published against me .

      The greater the number of my pamphlet sold , the greater will be my loss , as the price is only threepence , which does not cover cost . It may be had of Cleave , London ; Hey wood , Manchester ; and Hobson , Leeds . I am , your faithful servant , Feabgcs O'Coskob .

      THE -EXECUT 1 TE TO THE CHARTIST PUBLIC . i " BiEMS , —Having considered the arrangements for the next Convention to be the most important dnty that during our temporary tenure of office devolved upon us , we now beg leave to submit to yoHT serious consideration the following preliminary stf db necessary for the accomplishment of that object . By comparing the course laid down by ns with that suggested in the plan which we have been appointed to carry into effect , it will be found where any difference does appear , that such difference arises from the non-enrolment of the document , and the consequent alteration of our position ; while it will be also seen that in every case we adhere as nearly as possible to the strict letter of the plan . And where dates are altered , the only difference will be that extension of time is granted for the nomination of candidates , and holding the elections .

      The first point to which we beg to call your attention i 3 the rule laid down for the nomination of candidates . All candidates must be nominated between the last day of February snd the 14 th of March , both inclusive ; and notice of all nominations must be giren In writing to the District Council , in all districts where such a body has been appointed , and to the General Secretary , in those districts where no such body exists , ss well as by the District Councils , where such bodies do exist . The electionB of delegates mnst take place between the 21 st and the Slit March , both inclusive .

      The meetings at "which delegates are to be elected must be public open meetings , of which seien clear days' public notice shall be given , and of the object of such meeting . The proportion of delegates must be according to population , and not according to the nrmber of enrolled Chartists ; the refusal to enrol the plan having considerably tended to limit the number of enrolled members . We have , therefore , resolved npon the following scale : — each locality with , a population under 10 . 000 , shall have the tower of electing one delegate ; from 10 . C 00 to SO , CCO , two delegates ; and all districts having a peculation of moie than 20 , 000 , four delegates .

      r » 0 M 15 ATI 0 S OF CaHDJDATIS TO BE StBMlTTID TO TBE COT £ > T 10 H AS 5 HE LIST rBCM WHICH THE Ixecctjt £ Cor > ciL is zo be chose ?* . —The candiaates tor the above cfike must be nominated at a special meetiig of members of the Chartist Association , npon the presentation of their cards of membership , and by which it s-fcall appear that all subscriptions due by such members have been duly paid up ; such nomination to be communicated in the game manner and to the same parties as the nomination of candidates befcre described . Mode of ELrcnoK—The election for delegates will be conducted according to the rule laid down in sectjeu iv . clause 24 , of the plan . As this clause contains useful information both as to the mode of taking the election , and cf communicating itsresnlt to the proper authorities we give it here at full : —

      " Every branch m the district iball h « ve the power to nominate the number of Delegatti required for their district , st b meeting of tee members bold en erpeduBy for that porpose between the Jut day cf Ttbuarj and the 7 t ± t of March in each year . "When the nominations are-made , tfcey tbaU be ismediate } y ecmmnBlcated to the District Secretary , so that an alphabetical litt of the whole rcminattd jd the district may he made out and sent to each branch by the District Secretary , with the least pcaible delay . The election for the number wanted shall tike place at a Special Wetting of the members in each braccb , hold en for that pnrpoae between the 21 ft scd Slit days cf iJareb , in eath year , and of which meeting a fullweek'a notice eball he given .

      The cases ct the persocs Dedicated than be pot to the vote from the liat in the order is which they stand , by the Pretidtut or Chairman : and the comber proclaimed in each rate pro isd am , registered by the Branch Secretary . A return , attested by the signatures of the President and Secretary shall he prepared at the meeting , and transmitted by the next post to the District Secretary ; who thull from such return , declare en / nhomthe election has fallen , awl cemmnnicate such declaiation to the General Secretary , snd alio to the Secretary oi each biaBcb cf tke District , within tbiee d » ys after the day of meetirg for election . The return from each branch shall he dol ; Sled and preserved by the District Secretary , uncngit the papers of the Association . "

      Tee Tlace cr Weetj >; g . —The Executive , afier long ' and aExicns deliberation , have appointed Manchester as the place of meeting . Tjjud cr Meetjsg . —The delegates will awembk at their ictme , of which due notice Trill be gmn , on Monday , the loih of April , at twelve o ' clock precisely ; and each locality sending a delegate or delegates , must be provided with 5 s . each , as a iund for paying the general expenses ; that is , each locality sending one delegate ihall Eend 5 s . ; a locality Eending two delegates thall Ef nd 10 s . ; and a locality fending four delegates shall send 20 s . Each delegate must be provided with proper credentials , which must correspond with the communication made to the General Secretary as to his election .

      In order to carry out the principles laid down in the People ' s Charter , relative to the canvassing the constituent body , we have deemed it advisable to recall the appoixtment of the several lecturers engaged by the Execntive ; and therefore have resolved that all such appointments shall conclude and be detu mined on the 9 th day of March next . And , in order to enable the General Secretary to clear eff all aceonnts of such lecturers , it is requested , as it is necessary , that all tnch lecturers will forthwith transmit a particular acccunt ot all cards disposed of by them since their respective appointments , stating the numbers disposed of in each locality by each lectnrer .

      The Executive have further to impms upon ihe several district cccncils and active tfneers , where there are eo couecL ' b , the imperative necessity of attentively perusing the whole plan of organization , as it v » iil furnish a guide upon several gnbjects on which the Executive do net consider it necessary for them to dwell . The Executive further beg to state that their expences last week , exclusive of incidental expences , amounted t& £ l 7 8 s ., £ 11 of which was absorbed in the payment of lecturers . These heavy draws for necessary expenditure have considerably reduced the usall balance in the treasurers ' hands ; and therefore they Lave to request that the several localities wfll forthwith forward their sub-Ecripticns to the tre «» rer ; and aleo that the several associations with whem cards were deposited by Mr . O'Connor in October last , will forward their accounts , as otherwise the Executive must hold him responsible for the several amounts .

      Ab the nomination of candidates from which the Convention will have to elect the fntnxe Executive is" matter of paramount importance , it ib of ail things desirable that those conducting the elections should 6 ee to the proper qualification of air claiming to have a vote for such nomination ; and therefore to this point the Executive invite the serious consideration of the several officers . In the returns made to the district councils and to the General

      HOUSE OF LORDS—Monday , Feb . 19 . On the motion of the Dcke of Richmond the " Gamleg Transactions Witnesses Indemnity Bill" wbb read a second time . Lord Bbcugham brought in a Bill to continue the pitent of lord Dnndocald , with regard to improvements is steam-ships , for a farther term of seven yean . LAW OF DIVORCE . Lord Campbell concurred in the Bill , and then broached anotbtT snrject for the Judicial Comiuittee . Be thought the Council should have the power of divorce a vinado mairimonii , which we translate a limple divorce . By giving this power , he said , the Hcubc would provide & rtmedy fer the pcor , -which could be bad only by the rich .

      The Iobd Chancellor was opposed to mixing up questions so different in one motion , and recommended Lord Campbell to bring in & Bill on the subject of divorce , and it should have his best consideration . This is a happy intinmtion , and we hope Lord Campbell \ rill act upon it ; for in all the glaring distinctions between the laws for the rich and for the poor , there is none so glaring as that on the right cf divorce . The Metropolitan impiovcinesU' Bill was passed .

      Tuesday , Feb . 20 . The " GamiDg Transactions vVitceiseB' Indemnity Bill , " was read a third time and pasted .

      HOUSE OF CCMMONS , Monday , Feb , 19 . After Ihe presentation of petitions , Mi . P . Botthwick gave notice that , in Ccmxniltee on the Poor Laws , he would move clauses to prevent the separation of man and wife above sixty jears of age , and fir out-door relief In certain cases . On the metion for resuming the adjourned debate on the state of Ireland beirg made , Itlr . T . Dun combe i&id , that he bad a qnesUon of some importance to put to Her Majesty ' s attorney-Genera ]—a qutsijon in which all ErgJond ard Ir « la&d were iateiested . It appeared that certain proprietors cf several Irish newspapers had ^ withdrawn their names

      frcm the litt cf numbers of the Rtpeal Association , stating as their reason for so withdiawlog , that Chief Justice Pecnefatber hed laid it detvo as law , that the whole of the Repeal Associaticn were responsible for any articles that mifiht appear in any paper of which the members of the Association were proprietors . Now the question which be wished to ask the Attorney-General was this , —if matter published in any newspaper , the proprietors or editors of which weie members cf any Association , whether the whole of the members coold be made responsible for what bad been published , and wbetter it ccnld be produced in evidence against them as numbers of that Association ?

      The Attobney-Qenebal said , that the Hon . Member was kind enough a few micnte * previously to . communicate to him ( the Attorney-General ) his intention to r-nt snch a question to him . In assurer to the Hon . Member ' s question be besged to say , tb » t the proprietors cf the newspapers in question had so doubt been well advised , sod bad exercised a sound discretion in retiring from the Repeal Associatien —( cheering and much laughter ); but , whatever they might do under soch good advice , it was impossible for him ( the Attorney-General ) to ferm any judgment with regard to the general question , whether the contents of a paper , the editor or proprietor of which iras a member of a particular Buoriation , coold be used as evidence against the whole of the members , unless be were informed at the came time what were the objects of the association , to what degree the editor or proprietor of the paper was mixed . np _ with it , what the articles wsre , and what use had been made of them—( load cheers ) .

      2 / lr . Blphinstone—PerbBps the Attorney-General would permit him to pnt another queBticn to him ? He ( Mr . Elphinstcne ) was a cumber of the aoti-Coro Law League , an association established for the purpose of destroying monopoly—( loud Janghter ) . He wished to know whether the members of that association were liable for anything which might be pnblisbed with the sanction , and tinder the direction , of the Anti-Coin Law League ?— ( langbter ) . : The Attobkey-Genbbal said that the Hon . Member bad aiked him a question , tut be ( the Attorney-Gfctial ) was sot aware that he was entitled to the distinction of beicg theBon . Member ' s legal advocate —tcbeera , and lend laughter ) . He strongly recomminded the Her . Membex to cobeuU his ordinary legal adviser—( great laughter , in which the whole House eppeared to join ) .

      Sir . Bindley said be was not satisfied with the answer gives by her Majesty ' s Attorney-Geuetal to the question asked by the Hon . Gentleman behind him—( laughter ) . Be had consulted his legal adviser—( roars of laughter )—with respect to the legality of the Anti-Corn Law League , and be ( Mr . Hindley ) was told that that association was perfectly legal . Bnt that would sot decide the question , if the Attorney-General were directed , ss Jo the case of Mr . O'Connell , after the lapse of eleven or twelve months , to proceed against the members of the association—( laughter , and cries of " Order , order ") . " I now , " concluded the Hon . Member with considerable emphasis , " ask the Attornej-GtEeral is the anti-Corn Law League a legal association or sot ?"

      The Aitobney-Genebal appealed to Hon . Members on both sides of the House whether he had ever declined answering any question put to him—( loud cheers ) . If the Hon . Gentkman bad really any question relating jmonally to himself to wk , he ( the Attorney-Geneial ) would be happy to answer him , and that too without a fee —( great laughter)—tut he did not think he was justified in occupying the public time in replying to questions like that put to him by the Hon . litister oppohite .

      IBELARD . Mr . Bobshan , trho began the adjourned debate in the House of Ccamcns on the btate of Ireland , complairtd of ihe spirit in which the Irish Attorney-General bed conducted tbe late trials . It was said that these trislB bad quieted Ireland ; but this quiet would cease if a foreign war should break out ; and if you persisted to trample on Ireland , yon must tiuckle to America and France . ! &t . Sydnev . Hbbbebt , ( Secretary to the Admlralityjfollowed in support of the Government .

      Mr . John O Conk ell said , that he should employ the little liberty which night be left to him before bis sentence in renewing with undiminished atal the efforts vhicb bad earned for him : tbe honour of a conviction . Be only wished that , as he was young and strong , and able te bear punishment , a heavy measure of it might be lrflicted rather on him , than on tbose whose years and constitutions were lesa adapted to endure it . The people had been deprived of all hope fr « m the Qpveinmentby tbe declaration of a Minister that concession had reached its limit ; but their measures and meetings for redress bad been conducted in the most peaceable Basse * . He could sot believe that the authors

      of the placard forbiddirjg the aieembly at Clontatf isterded murder ; tut if murder bad been their object , thty could sot have takes , more effectual means than that placard , lie complained that , on the trials in Irelniid , the travtuus had been denied every indulgence which a mally granted to deftndanls in England .

Good might te done if the Government would act with good faith in the natter of education ; but in tbe question of lanunid and 'tenant , they had stirred a

      most dangerous question , and the commission had excited the wildest alarm : be hoped that tbe Government would not excite hopes in the minds of wretches In the very deptba of despair , which would be doomed to disappointment . Absenteeism was the curse of Ire-Cfi * l * fe > be Irish -people the means , of employing their own capital , and promoting their industry . It was worth the while of England to try to conciliate Ireland . She waBWilliag to be conciliated ; but continue their wrongs and insults , and " on your hedds be the consequences . " ' Colonel Verner and Captain Lay ARD followed .

      Mi . Febrand said the Whig Government had prosecuted Mr . O CoDBell , and bad compromised with him ; even Mr . Sheil had said " that if the Union was not repealed within two years , I will pay neither rent , tithe , nor taxes . They may distrain for them , but what's tbe use of that—who will buy ? I do not tell any man to follow my example , but I will do as I say , so help me Gqd ; and if I do not , I will give you all leave to laugh at me , and call me' Dicky Sheil witb the silk gown . " ( A laugh . ) Now , with extraordinary dexterity , tbe Hon . and Learned Gentleman not only swallowed his pledge not to pay rent , tithe , or taxes .

      and his silk gown tco . He converted bis silk gown into robes of office j for a few weeks after be took office under the very Government whem he had pledged himself to resist even to a civil war , ( Hear , hear . ) llr . Ferrand traced the career of the Whigs in Ireland , their alternate prosecutions of , and alliances with , O'Connell , who like Earl Grey , the leader of Reform in England , had taken care to make his agitation very profitable to himself and to his family ; though the one and the other of those agitations had . been wholly unprofitable to the country . Tbe motion of tbe Noble Lord , instead of strengthening , had weakened the Whigs ; he had smashed both himself and bis party .

      Sir C . Napiebasserted Mr . O'Connell ' s disinterestedness , fie thought the trials would do no good ,- but desired he might not be understood to be n Repealer . He contended that a provision should be given to the Roman Catholic clergy , and tbot their hierarchy should be permitted to take their titles . The Roman Catholics believed that their faith was the best , and tbe Episcopalians believed the same . For his part , he ( Sir Charles Napier ; thought tbe Presbyterian religion better than that , of the Church of England . But who was to decide which was right—( cbeersj ? He had been recently speaking witb some friends of bis in Scotland aa to their opinions of the Church of England , as compared witb the Church of Scotland . Those friends were two old ladies—( bear , hear , and a laugh ) . But they were sensible ladies and relations of bia own—( laughter ) — they were elderly maiden ladies—( continued laughter ) . He bad asked them what was their opinion

      of the Roman Capolic religion . Tbe reply was — " the Roman Catholic is very bad indeed . Roman Catholics cansa be saved at a *; it is impossible . " Thea he ( Sir C . Napier ) asked them what their opinion Was of the Episcopalian Church ! Their reply was , " We ha' great doots about that too—it may be aleetle better than tbe Roman Catbolio Church ; but we have great doota whether Episcopalians can be saved "—( hear , bear , and loud laughter )—and the Right Honourable Baronet and Honourable Gentlemen opposite knew that this feeling prevailed to a gieat extent with many of tbe old Presbyterians . Be had name short time ago seen a book written by a Frenchman who bad travelled in Ireland , which bad been rendered into Eagliab , and he bad copied from it some lines in reference to religious matters in Ireland 200 years ago—( O , O !)¦ They were , nevertheless , to the point He would read them'

      " They crif-d tbe mass down , ' cause ( they said ) The priest in unknown language prayed : And yet themselves their prayer-book sent To such as knew not what it meant ; And it was read , and psalms were snng , And jsermon * preached in English tongue . Among wild Irish , when not one Knew what they said , but cried ' O , hone !' O'bone ! ' they cried , and thook their beads : Witb grief , to change their mass and beads For what they knew to be a prayer No more , poor souls . ' than Banks his mare . "

      Talking of Bank ' s mare , they barf beard on a former evening , concerning a certain stallion , whose owner , an Irish landlord , bad compelled tbe priest to announce after mass in bis chapel that , tbesaid etallion was to be let out at 16 s . 8 d . a leap—( hear , asd a laugh ) . Now , that was liberal enough In an Irish landlord ; but it was settling to the liberality of tbe Right Hon . Baronet ( Sir R . Peel ) , who bad offered the use of his celebrated bull for nothing —( roars of laughter ) . However , he feared that the Ri ght Hon . Baronet's bull would not satisfy the Irish people- ( laughter ) . He added some suggestions for transferring to tbe Roman Catholic Church a part of the Protestant endowments . Mr . Gore , Mr . John O'Brien , and Mr . Monkton Milneb followed .

      Mr . Macau lay said it formed a prima facie cose for a committee of inquiry that a great country , with so many natural advantages as Ireland , and with a population amounting to more tban one-fourth of tbe whole people of the empire , should at this day be governed , not by love , bat by force . Tbe original source of ill-will was the conquest and tyranny ot a race over a race . Tbe Reformation bad prevented in Ireland that fusion of races which bad taken place in England . Whatever ideas bad been associated in the minds of English Liberals with tkeir country's greatness , the ideas of religious and civil liberty , and the names of King William and the Whigs , were associated in the minds of the Irish Catholics with their own degradation and oppression . He traced , their Bufferings through the : period of the

      penal laws ; find coming to the date of the Frtncb Revolution , eulogised the policy of Mr . Pitt , who had sought to unite not merely the Crowns , but the hearts and affections of the people . Mr . Pitt had proposed to give the franchise to the Irish people , and a high and honourable station to their clergy ; and if that great plan bad been fulfilled , the Irish Union would at this day be as impregnable aa the Union with Scotland . Tbe Melbourne Government had produced a tranquil feeling ; and if that Government hod possessed tbe same Parliamentary strength' as the present Ministry , all evil might have subsided in tbe course of a generation . Catholics were naturally a loyal people , and attached to social order ; bnt of all tbe boons which had been promiBed by Mr . Pitt at the time of the Union , and again in 1820 , not one had been realised , except admission to

      Parliament After censuring the Irish Government for not having earlier put forth their proclamation against the meeting at Clontaif . he came to the subject of the prosecutions . To warrant such proceedings , it was not enough to have a ease which would carry a verdict and a conviction ; it was necessary to have a cose which would carry a general feeling of the Government's wisdom and moderation . Lord Stanley bad contended that tbe Cburcb must not be touched , because the Catholics , before their emancipation , disclaimed all intention of touching the Church' The question turned on this—was it a good institution ? Was it the poor man ' s church ? Mr . Macaulejr concluded with an eloquent description of the power and greatness of Britain , whose vulnerable point was Ireland , and the remedy of whose wrongs be hoped would yet come from an Imperial Parliament ¦ " ¦ : ' . . r . .

      Sir William Follett ( the Solicitor-General ) described tbe motion as a party one , and as intended to give encouragement to tbose who bad violated the law in Ireland . That : House was not the right place , nor this the fitting occasion , to arraign the judicial proceedings of a court which had yet to pass judgment on tbe parties convicted . He would not question Lord John Russell ' s motives ; but a deep responsibility rested ob htm , and those who acted with him . He defended tbe Act of Union ; denounced tbe Repeal agitation adverted to ; and answered the charges respecting the omitted lists , and the exclusion of Roman Catholics from judicial appointments rand expressed his hope that the disposition now manifested , and the measures now proposed by Ihe Government , weuld have the effect of restoring a better state of feeling in Ireland , ^ Lord John Ri'SSELL explained , and the debate was again adjourned . '

      Tuesday , February 20 . Several Railway Bills were brought up and read a first time . The Manchester and Rosseudale Railway Bill was read a second time , and ordered to be committed .

      Lord Palmerston postponed his motion on tbe Bight of Search till thiB day fortnight . Mr . Hume moved fora Select Committee to inquire into the extent of smuggling in articles that paid a high duty , and Into various malversations connected with , tho Custom House , and the expenses incurred for the protection of the Customs' revenue . Lord Somerset sHggeeted that the motion , for the present , should be postponed . Mr . Hume acquiesced . .

      THE IRISH DEBATE . Mr , Hawes resumed the adjourned debate on the state of Ireland . His speech very properly was almost entirely directed to the Established Church of Ireland . To that he attributed most of her grievances . The "No Popery" cry dould not now be raised . The Protestant Dissenters bad formerly been opposed to the Catholics , because the Catholics were opposed to civil liberty . Now the case was different . The Catholics supported the principle of civil liberty , and they Would have the Dissenters with them . He added , if the payment of the Catholio priesthood should be

      proposed as part of a great plan for traaquillieing Ireland , if it were joined with ameasurp for the extension of the franchise , then ho would sacrifice his pre-conoeived opinions , and supporteuoh a measure . All the did evils of j Ireland were sure to find nourishment , to receive permanency and strength , from the maintenance of the Irish Established Church . The contest was between religious liberty and religious intolerance , and he had no fear as to the " result ; but , iu the mean time , the nation was weakened by these unseemly struggles , and the enemies of this country were looking on with hope , when they saw England weakened by the misgovernment of Ireland . !

      Lord Claude Hamilton complained of the unjust imputations which had been passed on the jury on the state trials , and resented the caluminous insinuations that eight millions of . people were at once so disaffected and craven-hearted as to be only kept down by a few thousand troops . He spoke at gome length , and with some considerable vehemence , in deprecation of the Repeal agitation , and of the conduct of the opposition in patronizing it , claiming a large amount of loyalty for the North of Ireland . The O'Connor Don supported Lord John Russell ' s motion , and expressed his conviction that if the house entered on the state of Ireland in the proper spirit , the condition of that country would be speedily improved . .

      Mr . Lascelles thought the charges wholly unfounded which had been brought , in this debate , against the Government . If it were true that an impartial Government would be prevented from conducting the affairs of Irejand by the defect of sympathy in the Irish people , that , no doubt , would be argument for Repeal ; but he did not believe that this would be the case . The ! question was not merely what a Government might do , but in what spirit they might do it . He did not believe that Ireland would be left as she was ; but he should be satisfied if Sir . B . Peel , in imitation of the course taken by him in the matter of our commercial policy , would declare a principle , to be acted upon in due season—tbe principle that the state of the Church in Ireland required consideration , j

      Mr . Gisborne thought that if the Ministers really entertained all those good intentions which they professed , they had been singularly unfortunate in the results of their well-meaning . They had been anxious for fair lists and fair strikes , but they had been cruelly disappointed in each of those objects . Tfcey ought to have struck off not only those whe wero partisans on the side of the defence , but also those who were strong partisans on the eide of the prosecution . He then gave his opinions upon the new measures proposed by Government , which he thought were not sufficiently denned . One of the greatest grievances in Ireland was the Church , which gentlemen said they valued like the apple of their eye ; but Scripture enjoined every man if his eye offended , to cut it out . He admitted that the Opposition had not made any strong impression upon the character of the Gvornment . '

      Mr . Stafford O'Brien warmly applauded the policy of the Government in Ireland , which , the longer it was discussed , would ' ensure the more effectually the approbation of \ the country . He complained of the conduct of the Opposition in protracting these debates , asking too many questions of the Government , and in filling the sails vf agitation , ao Mr . MacivuUy did , with SOnor-0 U 9 out vague declamation . ' It was very easy to get up historical reviews about the Established Church in Ireland ; but to do so impartially , they must go back to the fifth century and St . Patrick , the great apostln of Christianity in that island . By her conquest j England introduced to Catholic Ireland foreign domination and foreign Popery ; and he resisted the attempt to destroy the Established Church , because , as a national institution , it was opposed to the anti-national spirit of

      Popery . He recommended the House to imitate his example , blow away the froth of agitation , and come at once to the liquor . The evils of Ireland were the Poor Law , the state of the medical charities , the progress of the Board of Works , &c . ; and as he thought that the present Government were able and willing to cure them , he was confident that the Whig motion before the House ; would be rejected by a large majority , more especially as the Government of Ireland by the Marquis of j Normanby was disgraceful , reckless , and profligate . The anti-Corn Law League was something—it was a principle ; so were Radicalism and the Repeal of the Union ; but " you , Whigs , " after prostituting yourselves to become everything , have become nothing ; and are vainly endeavouring to recal the charms of youth by the coquetry of forlorn age . [ The vehemence of the Honourable Member excited much laughter and cheering . ]

      Sir T . Wilde said , that when a country with so many natural advantages as Ireland had been so long unhappy , it was but reasonable to inquire into the policy by which she had { been governed . All courses had been tried but one—that of good faith and justice . The Union had i been a union but in name ; it had not given to Ireland that share in her own government which she was entitled to expect . Emancipation too had been bnt nominal . What Ireland was now , the Tory party had made her . In Opposition they had been most active and vigorous to resist all that that was proposed in favour of Ireland . The Whigs had been taunted with having done little for her ; but that was because the strength of the Opposition prevented them , that

      Opposition then came in power ; and it was not to be expected that such a party should feel an interest for a country whose welfare they had been so much accustomed to thwart . It ' was time , therefore , now to make the inquiry which this motion , a strictly constitutional one , proposed . It had been satd that a civil war would be preferable to a Repeal of the Union ; but how long would the English nation allow Buch a war to continue ! Ireland demands a change in her Church Establishment ; your answer is , " The Union forbids it ; " and to this she has a right to reply , "Then Repeal that Union . ' The leader who convened the Repeal meetings uniformly declared his intentions to be peaceful . If you thought them otherwise , why did you not earlier

      prevent them \ They ceased at once upon your proclamation . Was it that you were laying a trap for a trap for a political opponent ]? It was announced that the Clontarf meeting was to be the last . The Government eaid , " No ; other meetings were ex « pected . " Then what could be said of the Lord-Lieutenant and the Lord Chancellor , who at such a crisis remained absent from ] Ireland * However , after muoh deliberation about the effect of a slight change in the wording of Mr ! O'Conuell ' sJi andbill , they returned to Dublin ; and then , hating got a case for a conviction , they determined to prosecute what for nine months they ? had allowed to go on uninterrupted . A Coeioion Bill , euoh as Sir James Graham had disavowed , might under

      some circumstances be defensible ; but far greater was the evil of a strain like the present upon the common law of the land—a stretch which would be a precedent for tyrannical Ministers in all time to come . The form of the indictment on these prosecutions—for meeting to excite dissatisfaction and over * awe the Legislature—had long existed ; but it had been generally stigmatized j in Westminster-hail . The law bad been truly stated by the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland—that it was conspiracy to combine , either by lawful means for an unlawful object , or by unlawful means for a lawful object . Which of these offences was > that of Mr . O'Connell t By this law , the opponents of the New Poor ot

      Law , or tne law of slavery , mignt just as wen have been indicted . Undoubtedly , the language of Mr . O'Connell had been ] wholly unjustifiable ; but it was untrue that his meetings had been of a nature to overawe the Legislature . It was not enough that the crosecution was not illegal ; there was hardly anything la bad Minister could desire which he might not effect by the law . This Jury had not sufficiently understood the distinction between , the simultaneous act of men excited by the impulse of the moment , and the simultaneous act of men who have previously agreed to do it . Mr . O'CovnelU he would firmly Btate , had had no fair trial . \ Now , it had been said in this debate that it was indecent for a lawyer to animadvert upon a Judge's conduct . No doctrine

      V f /^ , in- / coald be less constitutional the very first duly of this House was to watch the administration of justice ; and why was a lawyer to be precluded from sharing in that duty ! Was it because he might be supposed to know something abont the matter % It was not Mr . O Connell who had shaken the ^ peopled confidence in the administration of justice in Ireland ; the Judge's charge had . been deficient in what belonged to tho duty of a Judge , redundant in what belonged to the business of

      a counsel . The Government had * with extraordinary boldness , claimed credit for having been actuated by a merciful feeling towards the traversera in taking a special rather than a common jury . Why , the ' Government durst not , take a common jury , because , though ^ their righ t of challenge to each a jury would have been unlimited , yet it was a right which they would not have ventured upon exercising to any considerable extent , unless where there was some objection which they could openly assiga against the individual juror ; but the Special Jury ¦ they could strike in secret . Sir T . Wilde then went , with much detail of censuro , into the circumstances which occurred in the preparation of the jury lists .

      He alleged them to be frauds , and he cared not whether the Government were a party to those frauds y tb * y took the benefit of them . He knew , all Westminster-hall knew , how the English Attorney-General would have behaved in Buch a case ; for in the hands of the English Attorney-General the law and the Government were respected by all . The pffecfcwas that twenty-seven Catholics were omitted from the bpecial jury list , and the government having got that list almost clear of Catholics , resolved to keep it so . The Irish Attorney-General had grossly mistaken his dnfy . Let it not be said that the Government thought this matter unimportant ; they thougai the importance of it so great , that they were

      fain to purchase it even at the price of dishonour . Mr . O'Corinell ' s acquittal by a fair jury would have done more good in Ireland than his conviction under circumstances like these . Such a conviction Mr . O'CoDnell was entitled to treat as illegal , and therefore a nulity . This was said to be a party motion ; and in one sense it was so : it was tbe motion of the party which had always interested itself for Ireland ; but it was not a motion intended to shake tha official tenure of the Government . He hoped , however * , that this debate would have the effect of drawing from Sir R . Peel an explicit statement of his future Irish policy . j&The debate was -then , adjourned , at half-past two tfdoek .

      Wednesday , Feb . 21 . After some discupsion , the Couaty Coroners' Bill was read a second time , and ordered to be committed on the 6 th of Maroh . On the Order of the Day for the House going into Committee On the Horse-racing Penalties' Bill , Mr . Horsman asked Mr . J . S . Wortley if the Bill was of such a pressing nature as to interpose before the Order of the Day . Mr . J . S . Wortley said the Bill wag of auch a pressing nature that he should move that the House go into Committee . Considerable discussion ensued ; but eventually the Bill went through Committee .

      THE IRISH DEBATE Was resumed by Mr . T . B . C . Smith , the Attorney General for Ireland , who gave an account to the House of all the Bteps which he had taken in the late trial in their consecutive order . This was necessarily very long . When speaking of the omitted names from the Special Jury list , he said he would mention to the House what were the singular circumstances connected with this matter . Mr . Mahony , in his affidavit , detailed what he ( Mr . Smith ) would say was an improper proceeding . Mr . M'Grath , the deputy clerk of the peace , took a course , which he ( Mr . Smith } said was not correct , for he fnrnished Mr . Mahony with everything he wanted , though the

      Crown could not get a document of any sort from his office— ( hear ) . In fact , copies were furnished to the traversers day after day from Mr . M'Grath ' s office , and it was in this way that Mr . Mahony received copies of the . collectors * lists , including , amongst others , the names said to be suppressed . Mr . Mahony was thus furnished with the names—( hear , hear . )—This Mr . M'Grath was the man who mislaid the documents , as be says , in whioh the lost names were contained—( hear , hear ) . Well , Mr . M'Grath having furnished the traversers with lists as prepared for revision , was , after wards , —after the revision of the lists , and after his Right Hon . Friend tho Recorder ( Mr . Shaw ) had adjudicated

      upon them , applied to by Mr . Mahony to be allowed to compare the lists , which was permitted . In short , the other side got the run of the office ; they went in and out at their pleasure ; while the Crown , on the contrary , never could get one particle of information from that office —( cries of "hear , hear" ) . Perhaps , 4 iow the House might make a conjeeture , if there was fraud t » the matter , who it was that committed it—Chear , hear , hear ) . He then came to the striking of the Roman Catholics from the jury list . The Crown Solicitor had stated on affidavit that he believed these Catholics to be Repealers ; Mr ., Sheil had said in court he would disprove that on affidavit : but after waiting

      a month , Mr . Sheil , instead of producing as affidavit founded on the regular registers of the Repeal Association , which record every individual subscriber , bad produced au affidavit on the mere hearsay of the traversers' attorney , and even this applying to only two individuals . Most of the other nine were , in fact , not only Repealers , but very active Repealers . There was a perfect right . to . strike off any individuals , without any reason at all ; but here there was reason of the most cogent kind . Sir T . Wilde had Bald , that the Irish Attorney-General would not have dared to set aside the jurors on . a common jury , when tbe challenge would have been an open one . Yes , he would have

      dared to challenge , and would have challenged , every common juror , whom he had believed to be a Repealer . He must now take the liberty of calling the attention of the House to certain extraordinary proceedings , at which he was present ag an eye-witness , and about which there could be no doubt . He would give an instance of the way in which gentlemen opposite had acted in the administration of justice when they were in power —( hear , hear ) . A gentleman named Pearce , a chief constable of police , of high character and respectability , was stationed ia the town of Carriok-on > Suir , inTippsrary , when it happened that a quarrel arose between the men of a company of infantry who had just

      marched into the town and some others who were already quartered there . One of these parties was joined by the townspeople ; and a most formidable riot ensued , which finally compelled Mr . Pearce to order his picket to fire npon the rioters . The consequence was that a boy named Slattery lost his life . Mr . Pearce wob put on bis trial at the ensuing Clonmel assizes , where he ( Mr : Smith ) was present , and where the Right Hon . Member for Dungarvan prosecuted Mr . Pearce for murder—put him on trial for his life—( hear , hear ) . Now , iwhat waa the course pursued by that Right Honourable Gentleman when the life of a fellowcreature | was at stake ! ( Some interruption from

      the Opposition , followed by loud cries of Order , order , " from the Ministerial benches ) . He could prove . that everything he asserted was true , and could give the the names , if necessary—( hear , hear ) . Well , how had the Right Hon . Member acted ! Why , he had set aside , on behalf of the Crown , thirty-six jurors , and of the first thirty so set aside there-were twenty-nine Protestants—( loud cheers ) . That was an incontrovertible fact , and he threw it out for the serious consideration of that Right Hon . Member whether he could ever have laid down his head in peace if that gentleman had been convicted by such a jury I—( Mr . Shiel and several Members of the Opposition made some remarks which were

      inaudible , being drowned by cries of " Order" ) . Ho stated facts correctly ; he defied contradiction , * and in a case where the prisoner had a right but to twenty challenges , the Crown , under the auspices of the Right Hon . Member for Dungarvan , had struck off thirty-six persons , of whom twenty-nine were Protestants—( loud cries of hear , hear , and ohetrs ) . And these were the parties who , considered themselves justified in telling him that he durst not Btrike off any person from a jury list ; or as , indeed . that extraordinary assertion had been now qualified , " unless a sufficient cause was shown" ~( loudi cheering ) . He had never yet heard of " a sufficient cause " for striking off the names of the twenty-nine

      Profcestanta at Clonmel—( renewed cheering ) . He vindicated the frame and scope of the indictment , and ridiculed the . notion that thejleaders of & monster meeting could not be guilty of overawing the Legislature , unless the" mob were actually gathered in Palace-yard . The count which had been represented by the Solicitor-General of the late Government ( Sir Thomas Wilde ) as such a strain upon the law , was copied verbatim from an indictment preferred by himself under that Administration ! If , then , the present law officers of Ireland had been to blame , it was for having fallen into

      what he must admit was in general a bad habitthe imitation of the acts of the late Solicitor-General . He repelled with indignation the charge of partiality adduced against the Lord Chief Justice . He referred in very good taste to the indiscretion he had himself committed : in the . dispute between himself and Mr . Fitzgibbon which he greatly regretted ; but be knew that the House was composedof gentlemen who could feel how to make allowance for : his error * The Learned Member concluded amid vast cheering , and tho debate wa 3 again adjourned . \
