The complaint at this moment is , that a large portion of the most fertile lands are now lying wholly uncultivated , and yet our Soloxs arefor carrying away the very prime material hy which alone value can he giTen to it or -wealth to the country—Labour . To every plan "based npon the principle of reproductive labour appliedto Ireland , for ike benefit of the fafioarer , the landlords turn a deaf ear or denounce them as offsprings of the pernicious theories of Louis Biaxc , Avhohappensjust noYrto ^ cthepopiilaT Iragbear hy which these nurses of old prejudices scare timid and unreasoning minds .

"worse and more wide-spread mischief and suffering upon Ireland , than years of hloody civil wars could have doneeven now , when the soil itself has become almost valueless to those who hare thus misusedit—they still keep a grim hold of it , and demand ^ as the final consummation of their policy , that a whole community shall he torn up from the land of its nativity , and transplanted to foreign shores , iu order that a few hundred landlords may "do what they like with then * own !'' JJever was themonstrositv
and the -wickedness of the private ownership of the soil more palpably and glaringly exposed than in this Irish illustration ! That accursed system lies at the root of most—if sot of all—the evils of -what is called civilisation .

LETTERS V TO THE WORKING CLASSES . XLIV . "Words are things , and a small drop of ink Falling—like dew—upon a thought , produces That which makes thousands , perhaps millions , think . " . bjt . o »; . PROGRESS OF THE "WAR . OF PRINCIPLES . " Brother Proletarians , There is a report in to-day ' s papers that the Romans have consented to admit the French in& the Eternal City , to protect it against the Neapolitans . I place no faith in this rumour , were it for no other reason than that the Romans are quite able of themselves to protect their city against all that King ' - * * " - ' .. ' ' . » »>» it # ti *^*^ r * ""*''' . ~ ' ,.. ¦
Bomba and Ms band of cut-throats could attempt . Moreover , such an arrangement Is utterl y opposed to another arrangement reported by tiio Civita Vecchia correspondent of the "l ? mes , "tothe effect that two Envoys from tlie Roman Government are on their way to England , to solicit Lord Palmbrstos's mediation between the Romans and the French : and that General Oudinoi has pledged himself to the Envoys not to attacfc Rome until the result of their mission is lcnown .
I shall indulge in the hope that the French are not yet within the walls of Rome ; and that the Romans have no intention to allow them to get there . As to the mission to Lord Palmerstox , it may be true ; but if so , I feel persuaded that Mazzini must have been overruled ; for he—knowing what he does of the perfidy of the English Government , and the bitter hatred of our aristocrats and , moneymongers to Republicanism in every shape and form—he could not have willingly assented to a mission so nseless , if not mischievous and
fatal . I admit the possibility of Lord Paljierston mediating between the spoiler and Mb desired victim ; but bis mediation will be only to Tietray the latter to the former . The . coerced Portuguese and the betrayed Sicilians can tell the worth of Pauiebston ' s patronage . If the Romans trust to English sympathy , or English justice , they are lost . In no class but your own , brother Proletarians , are to be found a hundred men in all England , who feel for the Romans and would aid them . In your ranks , many a thousand mdn are to be found whose hearts beat in unison with
those of Rome ' s defenders . But what can you do ? Nothing . You have neither money , nor arms , nor power of any kind . 'Your representatives in Parliament are limited to two or three ; and a Press you have . not , with the exception of this solitary journal and two or three minor publications . The Romans must not look to England for help . Those English who would fraternise -with Rome ' s noble defenders have not the power to do so ; on the other hand , the monopolists ot \ power will coerce , intrigue against , or betray the defenders of Liberty , but will give them no aid . Be it observed , they are . all alike , Tor ies and Liberals — perfectly agreed as to the end : the keeping down of Democracy . True , they differ as to the means . The Tories would
wage open war against the Democrats of all nations ; the Liberals -would take no part in such a war , they would only permit it to be carried on without word or act of hinderance on their part . What though whole nations bleed , and the lives of millions are sacrificed , our Liberals -will be unmoved ; for why ? They are wedded to " Peace" and "Non-Intervention . " I have said that the Romans have no cause to fear the Neapolitans . You will see that hi a first encounter a large number of Neapolitans turned tail , and threw dowu their arms . You will find it stated by the correspondent of the " Daily Kcws "
that tho Roman nflemen are particularly anxious to get sight of King Bomba . I hope they will be gratified—but I fear the opposite . I expect the Neapolitan Tiberius will take very good care to keep out of harm ' s way . The existence of that Wood-lapping monster is a disgrace to Humanity . The " Times" correspondent is in great tribulation on account of General Oudixot . That interestin" ruffian "has had a continued fever since the unhappy failure of the 30 th ; and though he has hecn bfed three times , and had excellent medical assistance , he is not able to resume his field duties yet . " I trust that -when lie does resume his field duties , he will be bled ( by the Romans
so skilfully that he will never be troubled with fever a ^ ain ! This same correspondent of the " limes " admits the unanimity of the Boman population in repelling the French , and adds that " the prolonged obstinacy of the Pope and the successful resistance of the 30 th , has given immense moral , and brought immense physical , aid to the Triumvirate . " He further says , that " where there was oncman ready to fight before , there are now fifty eager for the fray . " This he reports on tbc evidence of English aristocrats , who , hostile to tho Romans , have led from the city . The " Times" correspondent remarks that "the Vatican and Capitol are mined , " and he has been assured , by an English gentleman , that" the
barbarians will blow them up in case they arc overpowered iu a final assault . " The brave Romans are the men to whom he applies the epithet of barbarians ; and he adds : " Can the ferocity" of these brigands go to that extent ?" . Brigands This dainty gentleman might have selected fitter parties for his choice epithets . It appears to me that the brigands are the French , the Neapolitans , the Spaniards , and the Austrians , who have carried fire and sword into the heart of a peaceful country ; and who menace the capital of the Arts with all the horrors of siege and storm ; and all the atrocities of military ruffianism . It appears to me that the barbarians are those invaders
whose musket-halls ' have already pierced the tapestries of Rapuiel , and perforated the paintings of Michael Axgelo . If the Romans should be finally defeated , and if in their sublime despair they should blow ud Gapitol and Vatican , the curse of posterity will be * awarded , not to the Romans , but to the foreign " brigands" and "barbarians , " on whom would rest the sole responsibility of driving a noble people to acts of desperation . "Why should the Romans yield their city to the sway of foreign cut-throats and priestly-scoundrels ? Better far that all Rome perished by one mighty" act of selfannihilation , than submit to tbc renewed reign of cowled inquisitors , and merciless military executioners . > ... The news from Hungary is not of striking inte-Tcst . Battles continue to be fought , in which tho
Hungarians are invariably the victors . The Russians are pouring into the Austrian territory . A mighty struggle is at band . ¦ ' - "' * That heartless hypocrite , the Kixgot Pnussu , — who shed his crocodile tears over the patriots ho murdered in March , 1848—has at la * t utterly parted with his mask , and stands stlf-exposed the declared terrorist of Germany : Not content "with dissolving the Assembly , and trampling upon his own pet " constitution , " he has proclaimed martial law throughout his dominions . Military terrorism is the only law throughout Prussia . Bravo ! Goahead , FbedebickWilxum , terrorise to your heart s content . Use the sword unsparingly until- — you drive the people to return your paternal kindness with interest . You are a religiou 3 king . May you realise in your own person the truth of the scriptural declaration : —" -Those who live by the sword , shall perish l > y the sword . " - : : ¦ - . ¦ ¦
The insurrection in Dresden has been suppressed —but only after seven days' fighting . I anticipated the failure of the insurrection , but I did not anticipate that - the struggle would have continued durin ° -seven days .. One sueh another victory and tho Saxon King will be undone . May his next fi ^ ht be his last ! But , stop ; I " must correct mvself . The Kixg of Saxont does not fight , he * only sets his miserable slaves- to fight for bun : I perceive ' that the Morning Chronicle terms his Saxen * kinsrshin an " inoffensive monarch . J
This inoffensive worthy brought about the late _ insurrection , by betraying Vbis ' people" to the Kiso ofPnBssiA . . He excited a conflict ^ and then ran away , to shelter himself in "the impregnable fortress of KfiiuWein . " There he remained while his Saxon soldiers , aided by Prussian butchers , slaughtered his '' beloved people . " One word to the Saxons : the next time their King consigns them to the tender mercies of his underling butchers , I advise them not to let his Kingship run to Konigstein . Tie -would he of more utuity as a hostage at Dresden . ' - - ¦ - -
As I told you in my last letter , the Dresden Insurrection-was butthebeginning . of tie end . Rhenish . Prussia and Rhenish Bavaria are in a state of general insurrection . This day news has arrived of the proclamation of the . Republic'in Baden and flight of ; the Duke . ' The Jinies , Chronicle , , and other papers pretend that the insurrections are already hushed , " or , at least , being rapidly , " put-down . " Believe them not : the insurrections are only beginnin" - —insurrections-which . must end in BEVOLVTioS . ; ; If the German bourgeoisie will honestly unite with

the Proletarians to accomplish" a democratic revolution , that great change ma ^ be effected with little or \ io disturbance or loss of life . If , ' on the other hand , war , massacre , and anarchy overspread Germauyj the bourgeoisie will be to blame , and will , I trust , find the punishment they will so well met it . "Wherever revolution is forced upon Unpeople they should make the bourgemfic responsible in their persons and property for the issue of the struggle . Brother Proletarians , I congratulate you ' on the downfall of that arch-scoundrel Leox Fauchkii . Condemned by the vote of the National Assembly for tampering with the elections—left in an inglorious minority of jive—Monsieur Faucher found himself forced to place the resignation of his office , as Minister of the Interior , in the hands of the President . The curses of hate and the hisses of scorn follow him in his retirement from office . ' . . _ .... — . ., .
The result of the French Elections is not yet known ; but one thing ^ is certain : the wonderful progress of Red Republican principles in the army . Seeing that another revolution in France is inevitable , this is a most important fact , As yet Are liave seen only the beginning of the Revolutions of Europe ; the end is no longer uncertain now that thousands of French soldiera have recorded their votes for the Republique Democratique et Sociale .

A CONVICT'S FORTUNE . ' -... A Jew in rctticoat-lano , who hail been a . notorious fence for year ' s in London , at last carried his pitcher . to the well once too often—in short , he was n : \ bbcdandkgged . Fronithcfirsthowasquiteawave th . it the scene of Jiis future destiny would be laid in New . &outh Wales , ; and . ho set about providing for the change in tho most business-like way imaginable . He realised all ho possessed , and had " it placed to the account of his wife in ono of the Sydney banks ; and the day after lie received his sentence , sent her forward to the colon j to be ready for his arrival . Immediately upon his" landing , his better half was ready with a petition to the governor to have him assigned . to her as a convict servant , and , as she had qualified ' as a householder , the assignment was made to , hor as a matter of course . Indeed , a wife , . . .
if she had a family of children to back her claimand if she had not , she could easily borrow three or four brats for the occasion—rarely failed in having her husband assigned to her ; and thus the transported felon liot . only became his own master , but found himself in a place where he could employ the fruits of his past nefarious course to more advantage than he could have done had he been allowed to continue his career at home . Tho large and rapid fortune which these gentry have made in Sydney would almost appear fabulous , even in the purlieus of Capel-couvt during an epidemic mania for speculation . The , spectacle of a millionaire emancipist is by no means a rara avis , and from five to twenty thousand a year may be taken as the average income of the aristocracy of that worthy
class . Indeed , they quite over-top the free and respectable inhabitants ; and the exhibition is the more glaring because they endeavour to revenue themselves for the noli me tanqtre of the untainted citizen by the moat ostentatious display of their wealth . You shall count hundreds of carriages-andfour , barouches , landaus , < fcc , on the race course at Five-dock Farm j . and your cicerone in giving you an account of . their proprietors will only be giving you acatalogue of-the most successful felonry of ' the colony . Still , in spite of their display , there , is always the meanness of the parvenu amongst these gentry ; for they will give anything to acquire a footing in the society of the free settlors , whom , at the same time , they appear so ambitious of outshininff . i I knew an instance of a wealthy emancbisfc .
who had for a long time been endeavouring in vain to induce a respectable draper to lend him his countenance , by taking a seat in his barouche ; despairing at last of being able again to scrape an acq uaintance with him , he turnea liis attention to : i person in the same trade , but in more humble circumstances , over the way . He finally succeeded in corrupting his virtue , and in enrolling one free settler on the list , of-his acquaintances , by the lavish expenditure of himself . and his emancipist ' friends !' .. It has often struck me that these people , who are certainly not endowed with any excess of modesty , so rarely return to dazzle their old friends and enemies at home . I only know one instance of the kind ; and if the reception he met with in his native place was' generally" known . I do
not ' think that it would deter others from following his example . ' Master P———• was a very large horse-dealer in Lincolnshire , , ransacking all the fairs in the United Kingdom for hunters , carriaqehorsos , and hacks , and , after making them up , disposing of them to great . advantage amongst the gentry within fifty miles of his stables . He was a master-hand at his craft , and had , notoriously , accumulated considerable , wealth ; hut one luckless ( or , as it ultimately ' turned out , lucky ) day , he happened to sell a horse at a high figure to a gentleman who returned it as unsound , and , as our hero refused to return the money , a series of expensive law-suits was the result , in which he was finally discomfited . Enraged at this issue of his shiftiness , ho turned evevything he possessed into ready money , and procured a docket of bankruptcy to be struck arainst ¦
him . His opponent , however , stuck to him like a bull-dog " , and palpably proving in the Bankruptcy Court that he must have niado away with his property to defraud his creditors , he was prosecuted for the offence , convicted of it , and sentenced to transportation for fourteen years . An assignee master , however—a large emancipist stock and landholder—was ready to apply for him as a convict servant on his arrival , and with a large sum which he had saved " out of the fire" by " smashing" at homo , he purchased a share of his shammaster ' s business . Sow , although they , are very good judges of breeding horses , in Australia , they knew nothing of training them to their paces , and making them up for market ; and Sam P possessed these peculiar qualifications to perfection . Before three years hud passed , ho and his partner became the largest exporters of chargers to India , where they always commanded enormously hi gh prices , and where the breed of Master P and
his partner had already grown high into repute , above all others . At the expiration of eleven years , P——received a , full pardon ,- and he returned homewitji a large fortune . , Instead , however , of sneaking into his native place , like a returned convict , he entered it in an open carriage and four to the tune of " See the conquering hero comes , " by a couple oS braying bugles ; and the same evening gave a ' sumptuous feast to his old neighbours and friends , whose flattering reception of him , I presume , must be imputed tothoir attributing his return with health and wealth to the interposition of Providence in favour of persecuted innocence ! When I last heard of him he was enjoying all the pleasures and sports of a country gentleman ' s life , within a few miles of the stables which , before he left England , he did not disdain to clear oufchunself . —Perils , Pastimes , and Pleasures of an Emigrant in Australia , Vancouver ' s Island , and California . :

A Church wilfully Fired . — -Mr . H . Tucker , of Down-farm , Ashburfcon , in passing along the road which adjoins the churchyard , Buckfastleigh , at about eleven o ' clock on the morning of Tuesday last , ; saw a quantity of smoke bursting forth from the vestiy-room of the church . He rode at ' a rapid rate . to the town , which is half a . mile distant , and spread the alarm . The-inhabitants hastened to the scene of conflagration , with the fire-engine and vehicles laden with hogsheads of water . By extraordinary exertions the fire was got under just at the time it had communicated with the roof . The vestry is entirely burnt down ; the reof of the north aisle is also much injured and burnt , as also the
floonngat the altar . The chest in the vestry containing old records and various documents belonging to the parish , is entirely destroyed . ' ¦ The incendiaries appear to have entered the church through one of the windows , and proceeded to the vestry door which enters the chancel , which they broke open , and must have fired the vestry . Three large iron bars which they had with them were left behind in the church , and must have been taken from some lime quarry in . the neighbourhood . Tho church is situated on an , eminence , in a sequestered spot about half a mile from the town , and was new seated and much improved , about three years since , at a cost of about £ 1 , 000 . — Devonshire Ckroinit . lt > .. .-, ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ - ¦''• • •••'¦• ' .

Axstky moved resolutions expressive oftlie regret ofthe House at the great extent to which chicory was now used in the ' adulteration of coftbe , an abuse which was the result of an order issued by the Lords of tho Treasury to the Excise , not to enforce the penalties attachable to it . Not only was ceffce thus tampered with , but the chieory used in its adulteration was itself adulterated . The extensive use of chicory for this purpose had tended to the diminution of the consumption of coffee , to the detriment of Ceylon anil other coffee-growing colonies , to the injury of the fair trader , to the prejudice of the public health , and to the loss of the revenue to the extent of some hundreds of thousands of pounds , Mr . Baillie seconded the motion . . .
The CnAKCELMm of the Exchequer , in resisting the motion , contended that the order issued by the Lords of the Treasury , was not an excess of the powers vested in them by act of Parliament . He then stated his reasons , at some length , why , in his opinion , the matter should be left as it at present stood . After some furthor observations , tho House divided , and tho resolutions were rojected by a vote of 62 toll . Public Expenditure . —Mr . H . Drummond , in a lengthy address , moved that the House resolve itself into committee to consider the public expenditure , and the existing system of taxation , and how far both may be revised , with a view to relieve the pressure upon the industry ofthe country . ¦ Mr . TJrqi'hart seconded the motion .
The speakers following in succession were , the CiiANCELLOB of the ExcnEQUER , Mr . Sfooneh , Sir J . TyrkIiT ., and Mr . M . Gibson , who moved the previous question . 'After a long discussion the original motion was negatived by a majority of 51 ; the numbers , 100 amfl 51 . . ; Eastern Counties Railway . — Mr . Charteris moved for " the appointment of a select committee to enquire into the report upon the expenditure of certain sums ¦ which , appear as unaccounted for , under the head of parliamentary expenses , in the report which was recently published by a committee appointed to enquire into tho management ofthe affairs of the Eastern Counties Railway Company ;" which , after speeches from CoJ . Sibthoiu ' , Mr . Roebuck , Sir 11 . Isolis , and Mr . H . Brown , was
agreed to . Sunday Trading . —Mr . Hindley obtained leave to bring in a bill to prevent unnecessary Sunday trading in the metropolis . Public Health ( Scotland ) Bill . —On the order of the day being read for the second reading ofthe Public Health ( Scotland ) Bill , Lord Drumlaniug moved the adjournment of the House , which motion was negatived by a majority of 63 , the numbers 33 to 96 . Tho Lord Advocate then proceeded to state the provisions of the bill , and after some observations trom Mr . F . Mackenzie , Lord Drumlanrio , Mr . Fox Mahle , and other hon . members , it was read a second time , and the House adjourned .
FRIDAY , May 11 . HOUSE OP LORDS . —Bate-in-Aid Bill . —The Earl of Carlisle then proceeded to move the second reading of the Rate-in-Aid Bill . The provisions of this measure have been so repeatedly explained in its progress through the House of Commons that it is unnecessary to give them here . A long discussion ensued , when ¦ The Earl of Roden moved , as an amendmont that the bill be read a second time on that day six months . The amendment was supported by the Archbishop of Dublin , Lord Beaumokt , the Earl of Rosse , Earl Fitzwilliam , Lord Monteaole , _ and ' the . Earl of Wicklow ; and tho original motion was supported by tho Marquis of Clanricarde , the Earl St . Germans , Lord Audlev , and the Marquis of Lansdowne . Their lordships then divided— Contents for the second reading ... 48
Non-contents ... ... 46 Majority ... —2 The bill was then read a second time , and the House adjourned . ' HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The second reading of the Land Improvement and Drainage ( Ireland ) Uill having been moved , Major Blackall complained of the many abuses which had been committed in the public works in Ireland , instanced them by tho reading of docuriients , suggested amendments , urged thiVfc tlie Cultivation of flax should be encouraged b y the erection of mills , and expressed his intention of not opposing the bill .
Mr , Siiarman Crawford supported the seconc reading , but at the same time expressed his belief that the bill would but very inefficiently denl with the evils of Ireland . K was a great mistake to suppose that there was no capital in Ireland ; there was plenty , and if a secure title could be given , it would soon be invested in land . The Chancellor of the Exchequer , after referring to some observations of Mr . O . Gore on a former occasion , said the whole of the circumstances complained of arose from the negligence of Irish proprietors , who left everything to the overseers , and then complained of , the sums charged on them . ' . Mr . F . French and Mr . IIorskian both , opposed the measure , when Sir George Grey replied , and the bill was read a second time , and ordered to be committed on Monday .
Encumbered Estates ( Ireland ) Bill . —TIio Solicitor-Geneual then moved the second reading of the Encumbered Estates ( Ireland ) Bill . Mr . Stafford cordially approved of the bill , and thanked the government for bringing it forward . Mr . John O'Connell concurred in Mr . Stafford ' s panegyric on the bill . " Colonel Dusne observed that lie could not concur with those whe unreservedly approved of the bill . He objected to tho principle of vesting , without appeal , such extraordinary powers in the hands of any
three persons . : ¦ . . Sir A . Brooke thought that some supplementary measure should bo introduced , rendering it impenitiro on such as purchased land \ uuler it to reside for some portion of the . year in 'Ireland ,-or to find employment for the people . : . . Mr . Turner took exception to tho bill , particularly that portion of it . which ousted the Court of Chancery of all jurisdictionin the matter . He also feared the effect . which it would have upon the infcrests of mortgagees .
Mr . Sadleir approved of the bill . Mr . Keooii again expressed his approbation ofthe bill , as one which would confer advantages on all classes in Ireland , from the peasant to the proprietor . After some further remarks the bill was read a second time , and ordered to be committed on Monday . . , ¦ . '

the bar , and it was said they were some of the relatives of tho plaintiffs . in error , but ' -there ' was no crowd in any part of tlie House . There were many members of the bar . . Friday , May 11 . ¥ ' , O'CALr-vcirAS : having finished his argument on behalf of Mr . M'Mamis , and the learned judges having asked leave of their lordships , withdrew to draw up their answer to the question . They returned soon after , and Lord Chief Justice Wildo read their answer to this effect , that they were unanimously of opinion that the errors assigned by tho plaintiffs in error had not been maintained . ' Tile first objection , relating to the caption . of the record , was founded on the iacts disclosed in the caption , that the commission had been executed by three
commissioners nominated for that purpose , acting under" a commission directed to them and others . The judges present wero . all of opinion that the statement of the appointment was sufficient , and not made uncertain b y the further statement that the eominifiMOii included Othel'S besides the three judges . The second objection raised on behalf of ' the plaintiffs in error involved two questions ; first , whether a copy of the indictment and a list of the witnesses must of right be delivered to a prisoner indicted for high treason ? Sadly , . whether , if he was so entitled , the objection could be made the subject of a plea ? Her Majesty ' s judges were of opinion that tho plaintiffs in error were not entitled as of right to a copy ofthe indictment , or to » list of the
witnesses , and being of that opinion , it w ; is unnecessary to consider . ' whether the objection to tbje non-delivery of theny could be antsub ' jectfor a plea . The right oftlie plaintiffs in error to the delivery of these documents was put in the provisions of the English act , ' 36 Gco . III ., which it was contended was extended to Ireland , if not including in its terms , by the acts 57 Geo . III . and 11 and 12 Viet . The judges , however , were of opinion that in no way was tho act 30 Geo . III . operative in Ireland . It was made perpetual in England by the act 6 t 57 Geo . III . His lordship stated the operation of several sections of the last-mentioned act , and of 11 and 12 Viet , upon the act of 80 Geo . III ., and said they did not affect the crime charged in the Cth
count of this indictment . As to the next objection that the counts of the indictment , charging ; vlevying of war , < fec . in Ireland , did not contain any offence known to the law , the judges ¦ wevo of opinion that that objection also'failed . The offence there charged was declared to be treason by the 25 th of E ( hv . III ., and that act was made applicable to Ireland by Poyning ' s acts . Tho next objection applied to the allocutus , and the judges were of opinion that the form used was proper . What was asked of a , prisoner after verdict was , what he had to say why judgment should not be pronounced against him . The variety of precedents proved nothing in support of the objection . The objection raised on the record as to the challenges was abandoned in the argument , and very properly . The judges did not enter into further reasons in support of their answers to the questions put by their
lordships , because the objections had been already so fully and satisfactorily disposed of by the learned judges before whom they were raised in Ireland . The Lord Chancelu » r observing that tlie learned judges agreed unanimousl y in their opinion , and in ' the opinion of the learned judges in the court below , did not suppose their lordships would have any difficulty in coming to the same opinion . For himself , lie had not from the beginning of the argument felt any doubt in tho ease . It was impossible to road the reasons of tho judgment in the court belowwhich were extremely elaborate , and most creditable to the judges there—and to entertain a doubt that they had come to a . right conclusion . That conclusion is sustained and confirmed by the unanimeus opinion of the learned judges present . His lordship concluded by moving that the judgment of the court below for the defendant in error bo affirmed .
Lord Lyndhurst expressed his concurrence in the observation and motion made by tho Lord Chancellor . Lord Brougham , in expressing his assent , said he could not do so without paying a tribute to the great learning and ability with which the judges in Ireland had dealt with the case . lie never read ah . abler or more satisfactory judgment that that of Chief Justice Blackburn , and the other judges were entitled to similar respect . Lord Campbell concurred in all the respect that was paid and due to the learned judges in Ireland ^ and lie also agreed in the opinion expressed by the Lord Chancellor . Judgments were then given for the defendant in error in each case . Upon the motion of Lord Brougham it was ordered that theopinion just delivered by the learned judges be printed ,

Roberts , an auctioneer ; and Mr , Lloyd , a solicitor , Ko . 7 , Old Jewry , Cheapside , Ifc appears that a yovmg man named Mears , a clerk to Mr .

After running to and fro for some time , he at length , fell into the street , and some parties having thrown water over him , the fire about his person was extinguished , but net until he was frightfully burned ,, so that it is doubtful whether he can recover .-The flames in the house were , fortunately , confined to the staircase . ;
Death from Carbonate op Lead . — Caution to Artists . —An mquesfc was held on Friday bctbre Mr . H . M . Wakley , at the Bell and Crown , Kingstreet , Camden-town , on the body of Mr . Anthony Frederick West , aged 25 , an artist , and the son of Mrs . W . "West , the actress . Mr . C .

" Cigar Makeks . —A crowded public meeting on behalf of the cigar makers lately , in the employ of Messrs . Newton , Jonas , and Caronels , was held in the Hall of Science , City-road , on Wednesday , May 9 th . Mr . Edwards in the chair . The meeting was addressed hy Messrs . Brisck , A . Walton , Moss , A . ' . Campbell , and Hart . ; and the following resolutions were carried unanimously : — " That this meeting is of opinion that the men lately in the employ of Messrs . Newton , Jones , and Caronels , are fully justified in withdrawing themselves from the employ of those jjentlemen , they having themselves declared , most emphatically , in the presence of neutral parties , their decided belief that the system of bunch making
introduced into then * establishment , would ultimately be found alike pernicious to tho employers and employed , and have a general tendency to injure the trade of cigar making . "— " That this meeting is of opinion that the cigar makers who have lately withdrawn themselves from the employ of the Messrs . Newton , Jonas , and Caronel . s , are well worthy the support of the Trades . of the Metropolis , and the country generally , and , therefore , pledge ; ourselves to use our best exertions in randoring them our support . " Distress ' , .

Mr . Drcmmoxd ' s motion on Taxation acted somewhat as Miltox says the touch of Ithuriel ' s spear did to the Deyh , in the disgnise of an Angel of Light It showed the profitocracy in their proper persons . "Welave always said , in reference to their schemes ol " financial JRefonn . " that , like their " Commercial Reforms , " they "were exclusively meant for the benefit of their own class , and that any allusion to the labouring classes was mere humbug , thrown out for thepnrpose of deluding the public . The course they took , with
reference to Mr . Dbummoxd s motion , mast have convinced the most sceptical that this is tho fact Unlike them , that gentleman proposed to deal with Taxation in a thorough-going and practical manner , with the avowed and direct object of benefiting the labouring classes , therefore they moved the " previous quest ion , " and joined the "Whig Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Treasury hacks at his back , in resisting such an honest revision of our Financial system J One great feature in Mr . Dkgjimoxd ' s exposition of his views was , that he did
not play Hamlet -with the part of Hamlet omitted , as the mere moonshine self-seekers do . Whosoever would deal effectively or effectually -with our national taxation , must not leave the National Debt out of sight Mr . Dkcmmoxd did not do so * On the contrary , he stated its gigantic proportions as principal , and the enormous pressure upon the country in ihe shape of annual interest , and asked , pertinently and forcibly , if those who have the government of the country ever intend to pay that debt off ? a question -we presume that must nave been suggested to them for the first time in their lives . ^ Ve dare say that to ihe mass of office holders and Sfembers of Parliament , the idea of paying off the National
Debt sec-ins to be abont as feasible as emptying the ocean with a bucket ; and yet if the task were set about resolutely , honestly , and with a disposition to do impartial justice , it would not be a very difficult task . It would no doubt take some time , \ mt it tfotiIu lie comparatively easy to organise measures by which an immediate annual diminution might be effected , which should increase . geometrically Ly applying ihe constantly increasing annual redactions of interest to buying up ihe principal of the Debt "We are happy that the subject was mooted by one who is the very antipodes of a Revolutionist Perhaps others will take courage from nis example , and give it another"wring by-and-by .

Sir P . Ks ' ttTsaid that he appeareon part Mr . O'Brien , that Mr . Napier , * Sir Colman O'Loghlen , and other gentlemen were with him ; and that Mr . Seager and . Mr .

It was proposed that the counsel for both the plaintiffs in error should address the House , and then the counsel for the Crown be heard in answer , andthat then he ( Sir P . Kelly ) should reply . The . Lord Chancellor having consented to this arrangement , ' Sir F . ' Kelly addressed the House on behalf of Mr . S . O'Brien . This was a writ of error on a judgment ofthe Court of Queen ' s Bench in Ireland . There were four objections to this judgment . The first of these objections was , that by the caption of the indictnrient it did not appear that there was any jurisdiction in the judges . before whom the prisoner was tried and convicted so to trj and convict him , butontheconti'avy . ontheti'ue legal construction
of that instrument , ifc appeared that the judges had no such jurisdiction .. Tne second objection was , that a declaratory plea pleaded by the prisoner was held to be bad on demurrer , and the demurrer to that t ) lea was allowed . The effect , of that plea was , to claim a right on the part of the prisoner to have a copy ofthe indictment and a list of the witnesses delivered to him a certain time before tho trial . Tho third objection was , that : by the effect of the Irish act , called Poyning ' s Act , the statute of Edward III ., regarding treasons ,. was not extended to Ireland . The last of the objections related to the form of calling on the prisoner to . , say why judgment should not be pronounced against him , that form having been defective in this case for the omission ofthe words " judgment of . death .
