IT is now FOTTR YEARS sjece THE WOBM ) started into existence , and it can , withovitfaar of contradiction be asserted , that in its comparatively brief career , it has acbioved mere for the country in promoting gooii measures and cbeckiDg fraud end corruption , than all the other Journals put togeihw , which have been publisbett in Ireland Jcr the last century . When THE WORLD commenced Us labours , there waa to be found no Journal in the Kingdom -which wa » not the ulave of some party or faction ; and , therefore , it waa impossible , amongst the Irish Press , to look for independent advocates of popular rigbta or sound principles . True , it is , that good measures vrere aometiines esponsed by our contemporaries , but this only happened when those who exercised control over them bad some interest in their promotion . . ; THE WORLD being subservient to no man or fnction , steered a different course , and satisfied that the advent of better times might be greatly accelerated by giving no quarter to a bad aystotn , no hatter whether Whig OB Tobt held the reins of pow £ B , it persevered through good and evil report iu boldly and undeviatiiigly avowing it * conviction . THE TV ORLD beheld Ireland , after a Legislative Union with England had existed for more than forty years , the . most wretched and misgoverned country in Europs ; and , believing that this state of things could not have continued under the fosteriug care or a resident and Reformed Parliament , it , from the hour it started until the preBett , urged tho nectsaity of temper&tely und legally agitating to procure the Repeal of the Act of Union . : Perceiving the injury inflicted upon society by monopolies of every description , THE WORLD has not failed upon every opportunity to decennce thpm . First—THE MONOPOLY OF REPRESENTATION , which , giving to a few tbe franchise , leaves the lives , liberties , and property of the niiilions vsho aTe deprived of the suffrage as completely in their handa aa if the unrepresented clans were bond slaves . Secondly—TEE MONOPOLY OF h STATE CHURCH , which insults ' tho majority of tho people , while it ob 5 i f es them lo contribute to suppott a faith that tb << y bulieve to he erroneous . Thiidly—AN AGRICULTURAL AND COMMERCIAL MONOPOLY , in whuih we include the exclusive privileges cofcltrrtd upon the Bark of Jitbnd . Jo storm the fortress , of College Green , and endeavour to'Obtain for Ireland that Frtedosa of Banking without which no country can be prosperous orhnppy , has been the constant tim of THE WORLD , and this has txpostd it to the hatred and persecution of u powerful class—wt > mesa'toe ^ whole tribe of usurious money-lenders .

"Knowledge is power . " " Who fear * to talk of ' 98 . " Sis , —I had hoped that you would allow , me to serve my country , and to join in prelecting yon against lier oppressors , &t one and the same time . I was most anxious to haTe abstained from any coarse , which could by possibility weaken jou in your combat with the law ' s oppression . It was mj intention to have written , v seiies of leiters to the Roman Catholic Clergy of Ireland , upon tie position and prospects of my country . I was aware that for a time those letters wonld be either Eneered & * , or allowed to slumber , until the
day of reason had drawn them from the obscority to which ^ tbe present system of sarcasm , assumption of exclusive patriotism , and monopoly of criticism had consigned them . I abstained from , ondeitaking the tas& jnst now , lest in the performance of my duty , I should be compelled to cast eren an implied eensnre upon that course which has brcnght yon ¦ within the trammels of foreign law . I was anxious to hate engaged in the double warfare , agai nst Ireland's enemies and yonr oppressors . But , Sir , as it Is now evident that a triumph for Ireland is not jonr object , and that personal safety , coupled with personal aggrandisement , has absorbed all thought x > t a Repeal of the Union , and as you would lead the
world to belieTe that the English Chartists haTe led to the neccEQty of compromise upon that question , I feel myself , as an humble associate of thai powerful body , compelled to abandon my intended silence , and once more , as an Irishman and a Chartist , to xegistermy protest against your ungenerous , unmanly , foolish , and suicidal course . Itianow something more than twelve months since you made your last start fofcaBepeal of the Union . Antecedent to thai time , yon-had been incessant in abuse of Feargus O'Connor and thp English Chartists . During the yro ^ ress of this the hottest 3 ea r of your sgii&ilon , lie rejection of our p « 2 i . red aid , ifce abuse of our party , and your reiterated personal Inveetives against the Chartist body and mjseif ¦ were met by -a , determination upon our part to prove the injustice of your charges by increased acuTi-y on "behalf of Ireland . We could and diddiHrlEguieh between Ireland and Daniel O'Connell ; and we had the magnanimity to look with piiy upon the slander of the individual , prodded , by our ferbesrsnee to eould serve the conn try . Our terms were at otce creditable to EnglishEen , and honorable to Irishmen , and might h&rs been acceplid by you without any other compromise than that of the surrender of personal ambition to your comma ' s good . The Chartists asked nothing from you in return for their co-operation on behalf of Irelsndj because they donbted your sincerity . From the commencement of your agitation for Repeal , « nee ibe Whigs becsme weak in 1 * 41 , atd when an Irish crnscfe might haTe propped their tottering frame , and down to the present moment , the Northern Star
newspaper and the English Chartists haTe liDked themselves to the csu ? e of Ireland ; while thrc-Hghoutthai wloJe period they , the best and : he Lonestest supporters of the Repeal cause , haTe been the objects yonr bitterest and most unrelenting Tituperation I could citeEumerwUHrases in which oihtr Treatmen bare wrecked their fame upen that rook ajjaii-st which yc-B are now dashing your reputation to pn . ee ? . In olden times , before tie " juxd"' 0 / this eonniry was gathered into one great focus of thought , men mace merchandise of persecution , and their followers were ever ready to bury principle in the j ^ arc of sympathy . In my own rime , this system of Irrag upon pejseearicn acd of mskiD £ merchandize of ills which some hare courted , for the purpose of prcfit , has been tried and successfully . Bet of lase vears the tm
asceEdsEcy of reason has tan ^ bt men wisc ; and now a-day ? , a martyr must prove his title to sympathy by an increased deTorion to ihe cause for which he suffered , acd not iy the abandonment ot sdj cempromife of that cause . For eleTen years 1 have been endeavouring to heal the differences that jcu have extender-d between ihe English and the Irish pecple . For eleven jesrs 1 haTe taught the Irish to oinisguish between the English oligarchy and the English ptf-FJe . I haTe shewn that the people ot irtljjjd s-rfxered asmcch ir . jcttice frcm lhat oligarchy as the people of Ireland baTesuffered . And my principal reason for addressing yen Titir , is , tecanse is jenr recent tonr of "Conciliation , " ^ 'Compromise , " and ** empathy , " you haTe endeaveured to iransf . r Irish laired from o % archjal oppression , to Chaitist hciSerevce , ofcstnrcticn , and opposition .
I was even unwiHiDg to criticise your defence too V&Btelv , Itsi , as one bearing the confidence of the Chartist body , 3 might haTe appeared to seek a taptious and BH £ enerct 3 cause of qnarrel wiib yen . But , sir ,-when I fbd you denouncing tie English Chirtist 3 be- ' ore tbeir enemies , the enemies cf Ireland and the enemies of ail Befoims . sstb those which "would teed to the ascendancy cf class , I canio ; allow it for a moment to be inferred that I hire lost sght of Ireland and her rights , or oi Chanifm and its ol-j-cts , in ibe midst of that cloud of Eogiith middle clas 3 tympa ' -fcy which is bow cast around yon , sud Jhrongh which 1 ess ecr , mtcgn ror a jntrcieiit it cbscures that Irish
Tision which it has been your ctject to delude t-y shew sad fascinate iy noTelty . 1 haTe atked ycu be / or * , and I row Ttptzi nsy question , ba ^ e you n * x Eolimily pledged yourself to a Repeal of the Union as tie only measure through wiich Ixi-ticen csn eiptci jnstke \ And , pltdgtd to the meas-BTe Btd cosnizant ef its- Talue , 1 ecw ask you if it is politic , just , or hoxest to associate with its deadly cpt'jDrnts , and to gratify their morbid taste by 5 j £ ttinade atu ^ e of its cEeeiEprcEuis-ng ropporters 1 Aurwer me tint qnesiion .

the belief that you can dissolTe that chain called Chartism , constituted of links of mind . Vain old man . ' as well hope to turn ihe sun from his course , or stay the ocean ' s tide , as dream of stopping the rnshing stream of kEowledge ! In what shape has the enemy of Chartism presented itself that you haTe not attempted to foster its growth , and aided in its asraults ? What Tiolence that threatened the OTertbrpw of Toryism hare yon denounced ? What peaceful as » ault threatening to Whiggery that you hare not declaimed against ! When Whig spies led Frcst into the trammels of the law , you eked Ireland ' s share in the patriot ' s downfall , out of the
cheering announcement that it was accomplished by mere liisb recruit ? , and an Irish serjeant < Dal >) But when the midnight assassin threatened life and property with destruction ; when Rebecca and her middle-class auxiliaries took up arms against the law , you pointed to their deeds not in scorn or condemnation , but with exultation and delight as an embarrassment to the Tories . Tfiat force which yon now denominate " weak , " though " actiTe , " is the force that made you worth the purchase of the enemies who coerced your . country , But you decerved it ; and you dare hot again appeal to it . Yon call Chartism " weak and conitmpiiblef while hsd you the power to cajole it , how n _ ai . y publio dinners at CoTent Garoen , tbtafrical exhibitions , gEd _ , parliamenUty . cheers , would you give tor the wild " e abrace" of" tree A ; and contemptible Chartism ? '' O such drmoEEtraiioEs of sympathy would haTe been bet as dro = s compared to the golden opinions that couraee and consistency might haTe gained for you 2 Yes ; tell tbe Irish that the middle claE ? e ? , the Whigs , and the aristocracy constitute the English mind ; and thai it is friendly to IrelaLd . But tell them At the fame time that you would haTe gladly exchanged their united Fjmrathy for a public ernry into London , Birmingham , Ncttinglam , ManchtJit-r , Leeds , JCeweastle , Edinburgh , Glasgow or Aberdeen : but that ihe use to which yon turned tbtir Jormer faTours has deprlTed you of public confidence . _ Pray , sir , what denotes strength ?

caprice ! Who made yon the arbiter of the fate of millions ? Who conTertfd yon from the " straw wafted by the current" inio the rudder of the national TtsFei ! What i ^ there in you that cintty-nine in eTery buLdred who liTe by their labour should bow down aitd worship your captains of cohorts ? Whai ran ycu boast of , but the triumphs of iETonsistency ! or where are thof e sdTantsges to be found which duriEg many years of pewer you baTe conferred uron your country ! When haTe you agitated her , except when you sought patronage frcm tbe ascendancy of her bitterest enemies ! While the was trsEquil you filled her with police ; and when tyranny bad roused her to a sense of > hajoe , of degradation , and of strength , you ued her hands behitd her back , and made her an easy prey to
Saxon Jaw . I told yea in the outset of tbe recent agitation that there mnst be ore of these three sacrifices—either that the Minister must sacrifice the Union j that the Catholic priesthood ol Ireland muEt be sacrificed ; or tha ; you must be sacrificed . And howtTer the sympathy of Irelatd ' s enemies may taTe yon for the present , yet rest assured . Sir , that you must go » n with the agitation for Repeal to tie close , or yo » will fall a sacrifice . You neTer waited Repeal . 1 fajew frcm the moment that ycu denounced the MaTy It bone meeting in July last , when we carried the principle against the shadow , that you weTe at your old tricks . And I tell you now , that if yon
had desired Repeal you might haTe carried it without a blow ; if , instead of defending yourself by the abuse of Cfcarbnn , you had tpoken thus when the Terdict of Guilty hsd been pronounced sgainst ycu : — u I allowed you to arra ' gn me here , and I allowed myself and my son to be made parties to aid in the mock formality of the trial of Ireland . 1 haTe done it to exhibit fo my corn / try the lengths to which her oppressors will go , and the means to which they will resort , to perpetuate our proTincialism aid degradation . But , as ai Mallow and HuUagfcmast , I KOW hurl the haughty drjiance of Iieland , ( acd ycu might haTe added EEgJatd also ) in your teetb , and dare yon to proceed to jndgmrut . "
If , sir , tbeie hsd been any tincerity in yonr frequent boasts of determination , preparedness and resignation , that short Epcech , without the threat of war , wculd haTe realised IrelandV hope , and your e \ eiy promise . Tbe nDittd power ol Whigs and Tories would taTe quailed before that timtly defiance , and without a blow your country wonld be regenerated . Bnt , alas , the fame blow wonld haTe killed the goose with the golden e £ g . I ^ ow , fir , in reality I haTe a great ditiike to leading people to the belief that they can right tbemidres by physical lorce . But 1 haTe a still greater dirlike to that rashness which inspires tope , ai > d to the caption which damps iu You might haTe preserved yonr consistency without haTing used threats or dtfiance : but
when ycu did ote them ycu hsd no right to sofun them down into an apptal for pympatby . 1 am Tery glad , Sir , that your own rashness has compelled you , during ycur recent Englis-h tonr , to abandon yon former charge of Phyrical Force against the Chartist body . It was one so fooiiEh and indefinite that it was impcteible to meet it . But now , Sir , that yen baTe altered your charge to that of "" neaknesB " , let me remind yon las you will not afford me a substantial opportunity of trying the issue ) ,, of the following fact . Let a public meeting be called in any part of England , with one week's notice , and let the issue be , the strength oi Chsrtism ,
sgainst the united strength of all other parties , and 1 will pledge myself for the result . Kay , more ; let a Conference be called , to consist of delegates from eTery town in England , Scotland , and V > ales ! ( 0 thai I could include Ireland ) ; and although the " weak" and " contemptible" Chartists mi >; ht haTe to Eell their last rag , yet I will pledge mjfelf that those who would not go ten yards to s . public meeting , will fly to the furthermost pan of the land to the cry of " The Charter ' s in danger . " And that , Sir , 13 the resolution that you hope to subdue by Tjtuperatfon ; the principle that you hope to crush by " sympathy" !
BeheTe me , Sir , that however yon may torture your objectioDs to Chartism into all whimsical , imaginable , or possible shapes , yet will the shrewd and discerning mim > discoTer , that yonr real objection is to its propelling , and not to its obstructive peHcy . You hate Chartism , not because it opposes principles for ibe accomplishmeDt of which yon cantend , but because it preTents you from conTerting principle to class and personal purposes . No man has labonred harder to serTe Ireland than I haTe : no man has been so systematically denounced for doing bo . But my consolation ib , that when those false and flickering lights by which you delude my eonntrymen in their course for freedom shall haTe faded before that blaze of truth which is now shining from the lamp of knowledge , juBtice will be done to me and to the English Chartists .

ciples which be was = bcund to ttiport 1 This is what I neap . If a candidate pledges himself upon the hnstings that he is a Chartist , in my mind that implies that he should Tote for eTery measure which Chartism might be reasonably expected to support . I haTe no hesitation then , in eayliig , that tbe limitation of the hourB of labour ia second to no oiber consideration , except the People ' s Cfettter . It was left fcr me to point out the one Taiuable bit in Sir Robert Peel ' s tariff , while tbe press was squabbling about the Income Tax : and
now it renams for me to take the question of the Ten Hourb' Bill out of tbe mist in which tho f cTerai interested parties have enveloped it , and to p ! aco it before yon in its proper light , which I propose to do next week . I do not look upon the question as one of democracy , aa the French press does . Ner as a question of commerce or policy , as the Minister does ; but I look upon it sb a question of nationality ; of common decency , and ofltfe or death . It ia , in fact , stripping tbe bark from the tree of corruption , and must be productive of the most extensive beDeSis to all classes of society , eTen to the monopolists of labour , as a commercial question ; and to tbe Government of tbe country as a question of revenue . JIow , this is the measure against which Mr . GUWne , the pledged Chartist , voted , and
voted a second time , after being apprised of ii ? value to you by Mr- Duncombe . I therefore call upon you foithwith to convene a public meeting of the electors and non-ekctcrs of Nottingham in tho Market-place of your town , to take their opinon upon the conduct of Mr . GitborDe , and to call upon him to resign that trust which , in my opinion , he is not worthy of longer holding . You must either do this , or release me and Mr . Duncombe from all fnrth « -r responsibility consequent upon the retarn of Mr . Gieborne . I suggest this course , because my priucipal reason for fcupporting Mr . Gisborne was , that 1 uEderfctood him to haTe pledged binuelf to a depotatien of the Chartist body , to resign whenever called upon to do bo , by the non-electors of Nottingham .
Wy reason for not interfering with the Honorable Members for Shi ffield , Leicester , and otber piaces , whose members hare opposed this vitally important measure , is , because I am in no wise responsible tor their return ; but 1 am for Mr . Guborne ' s . 1 feel convinced however , that tbe Easter holidays will be devoted to the chactieemeiK of those Free Trade monopolists of female and infant labour . There never was a single period in the history of this country when Labour required Buch an open , watchful , and
jealouB eye aB the present moment : a period when landlords are committing wholesale plunder of their land by Inclosue Bills , and when capitalists are framing bills for tbe punishment of their servants upon the oath of their own minions befoTo one justice ! And Chartist though I am , I have no hesitation in saying that when tbe Ten Hours ' Bill is carried , Richard Oastler , Tory though he be , will deEerve the highest monument that pride and ambition can aspire to—the eTerlastiug bttcction which honest and useful service is sure to erect
in the mind of eTery working man , woman , and child in this country . PledgiDg my « elf to prestDt this question in an entirely new light to you next week , I must conclude for the present by commending to your especial notico tbe admirable and unanswerable ppeecBes of Lord Howick , Lord John Russell , Mr . Charles Buller , and though last , not least , our own Duncombe , upon the Ten Honrs' Bill . If we can have the consideration of the Factory Bill , the Enclosure or Land plunder Bill , and Master and Servants or
English Coercion Bill , postponed till after Easter , of which IhaveBome hope , the country will have time to breathe and speak out , and Labour ' s short holidays will I trust be devoted to teaching the Home Secretary and his whipt-in-pack , as well as Mr . Gisborne , that Englishmen , English husbands . English fathers , English sons , and English brothers , have not become so degenerate under the rule of tyranny as to be indifferent to the comfort , the chastity , tbe endurance , the health , the appearance , and the very life of their wiTes , their mothers , their sister ? , snd their children . > len of Nottingham , I have bled for you , in your Market place , in what I thought was a good cause . 1 eTen yet feel the effects of the wounds received in your battle ; but the announcement that Nottingham shall be free , and that if you know how to give , you know when to take away , will heal them . Ever your faithful Friend and fellow Labourer , Feab « cs O'Coknob .

BERRY BROW . —0 n Wednesday evening , Mr . West visited this place , and 1 < otured in the commodious chapel of the Methodists in connexion with Mr . Joseph Barker . The chapel was crowded to excess . Mr . Roberts was called to the chair . As the Leaguers have some hold in the neighbourhood , Mr . Wes " t was re quested to lecture on Free Trade . He went into the question at great length , taking the most prominent fallacies in succession , and refuting them in a plain and convincing manner . At the close , several quet lions were asked and
replied to by M > . WeBt , to the satisfaction of all present . A vote of thanks was given to the trustees of the Chapel , for their kindness in lending it to the Chartists ; when one of the trustees replied that ne wnsidered the Chartists were a persecuted people becanse of ibeii opinions , Mid for one be Bhould discountenance persecution , and would give his Toice for the chapel to fce lent 00 »» j fnuiwr occasion . Afote » f thanks was give * to Mr . WeBt and the Chairman , and the meeting separated , highly pleased with the evening's proceedings .
IIiOCKWOOD . —On Thursday , Mr . West delivered a lecture in the Democratic Institution , on the evil effects of the banking and funding system on the middle and working olasees .

HOLMF 4 RTH , —On Friday evening , Mr . Wrst gave a lecture in the Town Hall , on tbe •* Right of Labour to Protection , " to a wy numerous assembly . It was expected that the " Corn Craiks" would offer opposition ; but though thero was some of them prcbeni , they were as mute as mice . Mr . West illustrated his arguments by various statistics , showing the increase of labour and tho decrease of wages , for the want of a protection among the rest . He instanced the case of the Holnsfiith trade from evidence collected on the spot , showing an immense
increase in the work of the weaver , and a corresponding reduction in his wages from 1837 to 1844 . These statements produced a marked impression , and acted as a stopper upon the jawning tatkle of the Leaguers . After repeated invitations to the " Crrkiks" to discussion , and none appearing , the meeting separated , ' after a ' "vote of thanks to the chairman and Mr . West . The cause is progressing here wonderfully . Another visit from Mr . O'Connor , and Holm firth would be one of the best strongholds of Chartism in the country .
