      T 0 THEfcRADICALS OF SCOTLAND , ENGLAND , AND IRELAND . Fbllow-Mss !—Nothing , we assure you , could have impelled us to make tills appeal but the pressing emergency of the case , and the necessity there Is for assisting ace at those few journal * in oar land dedicated to defend the righto of labour , proclaim to every region ol the globe universal charity and peace , and spread abroad the cheering and benign doctrines of democracy , which _ rt the props of the British nation , and of the human Zaca . The Duaiee Chronide waa purchased by the Badteals of ttis locality at peat erpenee . It was expected the money would be raised by the aale of a sufficient number of shares . This not being tfiected , a number of the devoted Mends of the people g&neroualy aova _ ed the stun requisite , on the faith of its being p _ d when due . It is so Ion ? » go , and as several of , Stem are in needy circumstances , we fear some of them ¦ aonot want it ninth longer .

      Tbe plan we propose for enabling the Chronicle to remain an advocate of Chartism is simple in its nature , ini , if carried out , would be productiTe of grand and gratifying result * . We baTe formed an Association for tbe purpose of buying shares , by means of donations , md subscription * of one halfpenny and upwards weakly . Where the forming of such Associations is impracticable , let meetings be instantly convened in erery Tillage , town , and city in the nation , where Chartism exists , for the object of directing public attention to the case , and give the free proceeds either aa dona-¦ . lions , or for the tnrying of a part ef the capital stock of the Company . A scheme somewhat analogous to this is wrought with admirable success by the various ' zeligioBS denominations in the country . If a church is . required to be built in a district , an appeal is made to

      U )« body , and it is raised . If money for a religious suasion is wanted , with , what speed is it produced ! € h ~ d government is the most glorious handmaid" of n- ' -nnfi religion . Could then something like tbi 3 not be done for the Dundee Chronide ! Could the millions _ afc meet , contribute their mile , and rescue oHe of the people ' s papers from difficulties ? Other papers , you wili « ay , claim your support as well the Dundee Chro-. % u ~ e . Trae ; we on no account ask you to withdraw it . fruntbem . We gladly acknowledge the great merits t _ o i surpassing services which the Northern Star , Sctfti& % Patriot and Perth Chronicle render civil and reli-: gkas liberty . We are happy in beholding them fulfil ; ao nobly _ eir honourable and holy vocation . Whilst i Wt ask you to aid the Dundee Chronicle with pecuniary

      ^ jneons , we hope yon will give more vigorous support to it" above papers , and tha you will labour to extend t fi _ circulation of them throughout the empire . We i t _ va aaed of them all , and more , to strengthen us in cur mighty struggle with cruel , corrupt , relentless , i tad irresponsible power . But acne of these are in so i pe . itottsa position as the Dundee Chronicle . If one of - OO - - {—pea perish it is severe blow to our movement ; Zhe changes we long to see achieved in the-structure of . our government , laws , and institutions cannot be con-. jxriidsted without a po rerful and loudly-expressed pub-. Ik opinion in their favour . This , we fear , cannot ' be , « fcaa without the thousand tonquad press . An honest , - xicb , eloquent , democratic literature , must tend ¦ jBi ^ htUy to emancipate the suffering masses from their _ » u ddid misery .

      - <;™_ t _ t newspapers are to our agitation as the breath afiife . If they « c ! 8 t not , we doubt it will die . They weigh the tendency of pnblic opinion , and criticise - keenly the character of public men ; they are the de-¦ fenders of the people ' s rights—rouse them to intellecfeul action , pioneer the way , and quicken the approach of the people to the barriers of political equality and social bliss : they are _» wt « kly warnings to our rulers . —they aw the loud expounders of the real philosophy , of yotitics-, they axe the fearless nigellators of the tjTinis of our times , and divest our laws and institu-• ta"i » 8 of the delusive drapery with which they have been shrouded for ages . How our enemies would rejoice in the downfall of the Chartist press ! It such a

      : « atastropoe should afihet ub , they would fancy that they . bi > the entombing of the eternal truths which we de-• lead . kt »~ i it be «~ tl that Britain can only boast ef t four Chartist j « ira * l *» " ^ d one of them be doomed to . ¦ tragffi * on in difficulties , when a little from each --would make it run its course most joyfully . Surely not : 6-ri forbid we should lose lay of our literary power . TJ-- then , men of Scotland , England , and Ireland . Beip us to enable the Dundee Ckrmide to triumph over c its difficulties , in order that it may remain in the pos-. ¦ mbob of the industrious classes , and continue to aid tiran in their great and godlike work of diffusing " tfetas , freedom , intelligence , peace , and prosperity ffcrcBghoot our beloved fatherland .

      MOST APPALLING CALAMITY . / fProtn the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser \ Aug . 10 . j

      KSTEBCnOX OF THE STjUlM-BOAI EEIi BT P 1 BB , Ah'D THB LOSS OF 6 N £ HCSDRED AKD SEVENTY LIVES , little did we think , yesterday , in penning % brief paragraph in commendation of the Erie , that to-day w"e » oould be called upon to record the destruction © f ; ba-. boat , together with * loss of life unequalled © a our own or almost any other waters . The Erie Uh the dock at ten minttea past four , p m ., loaded with Merchandise destined for Chicago , and , as . aeorly unow < ute-asoertHnsd , about 2 W ) persaEB , - ^• jae iBdtgf . pyseBiiini tud smi , on boxra . ' The boat —*_ f 3 ' lieen thoroughly overhauled , and although the wind was UowicgfrwlL , everything promised a plea" * mt * ad prosperous voyage . Nothing occurred to _ t&r this prospect till about eight , when the boat

      was off Silver Creek , sboat eight * miles from shore , « id thirty-three miles from this city , when ^ slight explosion was heard , and immediately , instantajwoHaly almost , tbe whole vessel was enveloped in £ ames , Capt . Titos , who was on the upper deck at fiie tune , rushed to the ladies' cabin to obtain , the life-preservere , of which there were from ninety to < me hundred on board ; bnt so rapid had been the projtrees of the flames , he found it impossible to - « nter the cabin . He returned to the upper deck , on iio way giving orders to the engineer to stop the engine , the wind and the headway of the boat increasing the fierceness of the flames and driving them ; The engineer replied that in consequence of iha flames he could no i reach the engine . Tne

      steersman was instantly directed 10 put the helm hard a Btarboard . The vessel swung slowly round , heading to iha shore , and the boats—there were three on bozrd—were then ordered to be lowered . Two of the boats were lowered , but in consequence of the heavy sea on , and the headway of the vessel , they kovh swamped as soon as they touched water .. We will not attempt to describe the awful and appalling condition of the passengers . Some were frantic with ftar and horror , others plunged headlong madly into the water , others again seized upon anything kuojant upon which they conld lay iands . The eqsAI boat forward had beenlovrered . It was alongside the wheel , with three or four persons in it , when the captain jumped in and the beat immediately dropped astern and filled with water .

      A lady floated with a life-preserver on . She cried for help . —There waa no safety in the boat . The captain tirew her the only oar in the boat . She eaught the oar and was saved . It was Mrs . Lynde of MAlwaukie , and she was the only lady saved . In feis condition , the boat a mass of fierce fire " , and the p 23 .-eagera and crew endeavouring to save themselves by swimming or supporting themselves by whatever they could reach , they were found by tbe Clinton at about ten pan . The Clinton left here in ih » morning , bat in consequence ot the wind had pat into Dnnkirk . She lay there till nearly sunset , at which time she ran out , and had proceeded &s far ss Barcelona , when just at twi light the fire of the " Srie was discovered some twenty milee astern . The

      Clinton immediately pat about , and reached the burfiiiig wreck about ten . It was a fearful sight . - All the « pper works of the Erie had been bnrneda way . The dgine was standing , bnt the hull waa a mass of dull red flame . The passengers and the crew ware l'Mtinsj around , screaming in their agony and shr ieking for help . The boats of the Clinton were instantly lowered and manned , and every person that could be seen or heard was picked up , and every poaeible relief aff * rded- The Lady , a little steamboat lying at Dunkirk , went out of the harbour as oon as possible after the discovery of the fire , and arrived soon after the Clinton . It was not thought ^ y the survivors that she saved any . By oiw ajn \ » il was stttl- « xcept tae dead crackling of the fire . Voi a solitary individual could be seen or heard on tbe wild waste of waters . A line was then made fast to tbe remains of the Erie ' s rudder , and an tSort made t * tow tbe hapless hall ashore . About

      ibis time the Chautauque came up and lent her assistance . The hull of tbe Erie was towed within abom four miles of the shore , when it sunk in eleven &thoms water . By this time it was daylight . The Ginioa headed for this port , wbiea she reached aboat six o ' clock . Of those who are saved Beveral are badly earned , bat non « are dangerously injured Wt f * r as we bare beard . OsatiK of me Fibs . —Among tbe passengers on board were six painters in the employ of Mr . G . W . Miller , of this city , who were going to Erie to paint thesteam-boatMadiaoa . They baa with them demi-3 oi . ni filled with spirits of tsrpentuie and varnish , winck , unknown to Captain Titos , were placed on tte boiler deck directly over tbe boilers . One af ito firemen , who was Bared , says be bad occasion fe ^ o oi deck , and teeing some demijohns , he restored them . They were replaced , but by whom i s fcot kmowa . Immediately previous to tbe bursting ferth of tbe flames , as Beveral oa board bare assured

Tbe demijohns aad probably burst with tbe beat , and their inflam-¦ aMis oaateata taking fire , instantly communicated to wcymrt of tbe boat , which , baring been freshly ^ ta-nkfced , augfet as if it bad been gunpowder .

      THE " TURN OUT . " So ; the strife of party is for the present at an end . The fierce yelpings of the packs have subsided for a little ; and the fat hounds , fairly beaten , —force and subterfuge alike failing them , —retire to console themselves with the portions of p «> y carried out of the mess-trough while they bad possession of it ; while the belligerent mastiffs , having stormed the trough , ar « arranging themselves for the gorge , when the people shall have fnrnished a new quota of devourables . This is , of course , the only matter of contention j and the benefit , if any , to the people , is in the increased facilities which the new

      disposition of things may afford them for beating away both herds of u $ ly brutes . There is no danger of the new occupants of Downing-street permitting the people to forget that the same " rogues' march" to which one set of public scoundrels have been m&de to pad the hoof from the snuggery , has served for the introduction of another set , not less rapacious , and only more honest because more unblushingly impudent than their immediate predecessors , while the ass whioh carries the provision basket is still subject to tbe cu& and cudgellings of the unfeeling freebooters who use him for their profit .

      The Whigs are out ! That of itself is matter of congratulation , still more so , when it is eon- * sidered that , as Whig 3 , they can never again come in . Their expulsion from the offices they have so long abused , is the best evidence that could be , under existing circumstances , of the growing strength arid power of the people ; while events immediately attendant upon this expulsion hare proved not less conclusively how much that strength has been trammelled , and that power misdirected by the most specious , bat most hollow and hnngry , of the hangers-on of Whigfery , wbo , under the mask of patriotism and devotedness to popular

      rights , have bung upon the people ' s skirts and kept down the rising energies which would have borne them apwaris towards their own place and station . This turn-out of the "brutal , base , and bloody Whigs , " has unintentionally been productive of one good effect already—the concussion of parties has shaken the entire mask from tbe half oovered face of hypocrisy ; it has unveiled to the country the leperous features and rotten hearts of some of its pretended friends—tbosa who hare made its distresses a theme by which to acquire popularitymen who have pretended to sympathise with the

      suffering millions that they might ingratiate themselves into their confidence , and having obtained that confidence , and thereby bolstered up a sort of bastard influence in the legislature , such as it is , have basely abandoned the cause of the millions at the very moment when their good faith would have been of service to them . We allude 4 o the conduct of the members for Sheffield and Bath , and the two or three other stout-tonffugd orators of bygone days , who condescended to follow their mock heroic example , and abandon their duty to tae country , because , forsooth 1 their importances

      had not been previously consulted as to the existence of a fact which the greatest fool in the kingdom was aware of , and of which those in the House , in particular , must have been convinced even to satiety . Ths amendment , or rather the addition , proposed by Mr . Crawfobd to the Address , in answer to the Queen ' s Speech , was plain , straightforward , and truthful : it went to the point at once , and would hare told the Sovereign , in the voice of the "representatives" of the people , that which , to remain longer ignorant of , would imply an opaqueness of perception closely allied to idiotcy . Its terms

      were : — " That we further respectfully represent to yeur Majesty , tbat in our opinion the distress which your Majesty deplores , ' is mainly attributable to the circumstance of your whele people not being fully and fairly represented in their House ; and that we feel it will be our bound en duty to consider the means of so extending and regulating tbe Suffrage , and of adopting such improvements in the system of voting , as will confer on the working classes that just weight kx the representative body , which is necessary to secure a due consideration of their interests , and which their present patient endurance of suffering gives them the strongest UU » to claim . "

      This amendment was most cautiously and judiciously expressed . No man in his common senses , who had not predetermined to array himself against the interests of the people , would have objected t o it ; yet it tea * objected to , and in the first place by whom ! By those moathers of patriotism , and practisers of expediency—the Members for Bath and Sheffield—Mr . Joh * Abthttr Roebuck and Mr-Geobgb Hhoit Wasd . Oredai Judmul

      With regard to the latter , Mr . G . H . Wahd , one would have thought that , as a emi-Ieader of tee " movement party" in the House , he must , if he had asy real desire to ameliorate the condition of the people , bare supported that amendment . But K , " says tbe Member fox Sheffield , I bare not beea consulted ! irr ikportauce as a leader has not boen considered 1 I , wbo bare held a public appointment , and spent some of tbe hard wrung produce of the taxes in mr mbatsy to

Besides the Whigs are wwreely oat - the Tories are not yet in—this amendment cuts it both .

      myself as a publio man to secure erersinbe Ibeo ^ ae the Bonof a Tory pensioner , and tbe proprietor Jrf an apostate Radical newspaper 1 " ] l \ This , iBt we apprehend , precisely the sort of Basoning which the unfortunate gentleman nay tie supposed to bare indulged in , upon the occasion referred to . Certain it is , that patriotism . lad nothing to do with his conduot , or with bis refiftl to rote one way or tbe other . $ ¦

      In the matter of Mr . G . H . Ward the thffifis quite clear enough : the principle asserted inTthe amendment , and to which he declared his adherence , though refusing to rote for it , iB of no ralue whatever to Mr . G . H . Ward , further than as it se # e& to invest him with a fictitious importance , waich may make it worth while to the Cerberus to throw him a salt sop or two . And to 4 his rery patriotic sentiment the Hou . and Learned Member for Bath seems well inclined to say ditto ; nor does be seem much to care from whioh of the monster ' s-beads the sop comes . He has waited upon Providence for the turning out of the Whigs , and is now disposed to gire the Tories a fair trial .

      " It was but right that they should wait until the Right Hon . Baronet had been fairly installed in bis office , and then that they Bhontd be prepared to give him and bis measures a fair trial . ( € heera . ) Tie was himself determined to give the Right Hoi Baronet and his friends that fair trial . " ¦ TSuoh are the words set down in th « London papers , for the Hon . and Learned Member , after and in the teeth of , his strong speech upon the Amendment , in whioh he passed judgment upon the general policy of the Hon . Baronet . We wish not to prc # too hardly on Mr . Roebuck ; but we do think thaj

      if his conduct on this occasion betokens not a disposition to traffic with his principles , it & do * to tbe country that be should tell us what he a—gut ; by giving a fair trial to Sir Robbki Peel . We honestl y confess that we can nuke nothing else of it . . £ TLe pretext urged by both Wabd and RoEBcrif that the motion was ill-timed , was a most paltry and transparent cover for the contemptible ranW which felt itself wounded at the overlooking of Bp arrogant pretensions to superiority ; and we art , not a little pleased that they were well told of itip the House by Mr . Wallace who is described as-f

      " Having several times waved his hat , as if ind « ris ( o& or what be considered to be » cowardly defalcation from the ranks , exclaimed , that those who remained could maintain their principles well enough without the leadership of the Hon . Members who had deserted them ;" So we think ; while at the Bame time , we fear that a very slight robbing of the grease-pot athwart either of their noses , would convert those same would-be leaders into very humble and obsequious followers , of whomsoever might happen to hold the pot in hand . We are glad to place in contrast with these ggatlemen , the Hon . Member for Finsbury , Mr . T . Dcncombe , who

      said" The whole scene which had just occurred was unworthy of the character of that House , and no doubt Hon . Gentlemen opposite would triumph when they saw the ranks of the Heformers divided . The Hon . Member for Rochdale had , in the honest and conscientious discharge of his duty , proposed this Amendment , as he , as an individual member of Parliament , bad a fall right to do ; and yet Hon . Gentlemen said , that in

      point of fact be had no right to propose his resolution without consulting them , and the moment they had delivered their sentiments to that effect they quitted the House , leaving the Hon . Member and himself in toe hands of the enemies of the people . He ( Sit . Duncombe ) wished to see open foes ; he wished to deal with manly enemies , and not with professing friends . He should decidedly rote for tbe Amendment of the Hob . Member for Rochdale . "

      On the whole , we regard the debate and division on this motion with some degree of satisfaction . It affords evidence that t& » principles of right are oompeiling tbe attention oC ^ rt ( House . The last division upon . this same queS&on , no . the motion of Mr . Wakley , exhibited only sixteen members roting in the affirmative . On this occasion , notwithstanding that when Mr . Roebuck had concluded his speech , he took up bis hat and marched out , in company with Ward , Leader , Hawes , Pkotheroe , and , according to the Times , a dozen or fifteen other Radical ! Members , there were yet thirty-nine left , who affirmed the principle of the amendment by their rotes . Another circumstance connected with this affair

      is well worth notice , and has evidently stricken the now dominant faction with some degree ofjUargB During the debate , the Treasury bench waBHa&m pletely unoccupied . There was not the faintest semblance of a Cabinet Minister present . The Ministers could not plead ignorance of Mr . S . Cbawford ' s motion . He gave notice of it in their presence , and it was recorded in the orders of the day . We take this as a first more towards the

      fulfilment of our well-considered ipropheey , that , once convinced , by being driven from the mess-trough , that tbe people are in earnest , the Whigs , in the hope of again gulling them , will bid high and lustily for the reassumption of their w lost occupation . " No M physical force Chartist" waa ever yet half so rampant as we shall soon find the peace-loving , constitutional , finalxty-motemeni burners of Nottingham and Bristol , and hangers of the dupes whom they had incited and entrapped to mischief . This , however , will not do . They are " damned past all redemption . " The people of England are not so cravenhearted as to kiss the heel that spurned them in the time of its prosperity ? They may forgive , but never will forget .

      This debate will prove a last and most lasting lesson . " Save me from my friends , " was the exclamation of the philosopher ; and we guess the people will appreciate it . They will not again , for the sake of a few plausible arguments—a specious appearance of candour , and a very accommodating suavity of manner , when aught is to gained by it , permit such men as the Members for Sheffield and Bath , and their class , to be sent to the Commons House of Humbugs , to represent large constituencies of honest , hard working , and suffering people , for whose interests , when once Beated , they care sot half so much as they do for the health of their own dogs .

      They will take care to bestir them , bo that when another election oomee ru tome it must booh , the factions shall find every gun in their own battery of annoyanoe either spiked or turned upon themselves , while the rush ef the besieging Chartists shall make eren the walls of the stronghold of tyranny , where all their manacles are forged , to gire way at the impetuosity of their cool , constitutional , moral , legal , and peaceful assault .

      All honour to Sha&ham Crawford the honest and true advocate of the people ' s right—not forgetting , by any means , the Gallant General who Beoonded , and the thir ty-nine who roted for , his motion , the spirit of which shall yet be speedily recognised by H both their Houses . "

They must destroy the system , or the system will in its accursed career destroy them . Erery thing really good must wither

      and die under the blighting and blasting influence of faction ; to destroy faction therefore , and to estab' liah government on the basis of Universal Suffrage must be the constant object of our most ardent solioitnde . And to do this effectually we must unite the wise and good of all elatm and of all parties ; we must convince those " wWiltfwWpfiwb us from , ignorance of our principles , that Chartism , Justice and Humanity are synonymous terms ; and we must do so by oar acts , for these anxLJasse alone form decisive evidence . We know , that the efforts now being made to bring the fiendish silent system , with all its horrors and atrocities , before the House of Commons and the country , are most essentially aiding ' our glorious cause .

      It is said , that " Virtue is its own reward ; " and , in this case , the Chartists taking up the subject on ^ tne firoad basis of the right of men , however dejpfded y Hobe treated as men , and not as brutes , bag produced , in not a few instances , a disposition to examme our principles ; and as these principles are founded on truth aad equity , an unprejudiced exa mination of them must ensure conviction . We are told that parties have been induced to attend meetings on the subject of the silent system , who could never be induced to listen to a Chartist lecturer ; but they have thus -had an opportunity of learning what our objects are , and prejudice has fallen before the face of truth . We hare been asked what woald be the best course to pursue in getting up

      these petitions , as it is a matter of importance to save expenoe ! To this inquiry our answer is : — Let the proper authorities of each town or village be requested by some of the householders , to call a public meeting for this object , and if they should refuse , let the meeting be called by the requisitioniBts themselves , at which meeting the petition being adopted , should be signed by the Chairman . Then a single sheet of paper will be sufficient , and all expence may be avoided . The heading of the petition must run thus j— " The humble petition of the inhabitants of the township of , in the county of , in public meeting assembled . "

      Again we say , let there be no delay ; and in all publio meetings let tbe example of Dexvsburj be strictly followed ; that is , let a resolution pledging the meeting to agitate for nothing less than the Charter be propounded as soon as the Petition is adopted . Thus an opportunity will be afforded to make known our objects , and to gain converts to our cause . On , Chartists , on ! the destinies of the world are in your hands , and you , if you better not its state , will leave it to your children to mourn over your dishonoured graves . O'Connor is released , from his dungeon ; xesolre that ths hellish system , under whioh he and so many brave patriots bare suffered , and are suffering , shall cease to exist .

      We regret much that we cannot persuade our friends practically to observe the rery clear and plain directions which we hare so often given and repeated about the sending of matter for the Star . Tbe extent of our circulation obliges as to go to press « n Thursday afternoon ; and . therefore , our friends seem to think that if their communications reach us by Thursday ) morning it is quite soon enough . This la a great mistake . They should remember that erery word of the paper has to be put together by ingle letters , and the whole space filled before we can go to press , and it is impossible to , do this in one forenoon . Our men are busily employed in filling up the paper with matter which , from one source or other , we must supply daring the wbole week , and it seldom happens tbat more than one or

      two columns , besides ibe neaeaaary space for editorial comment , remain to be filled oh Thursday morning . This shews the importance and necessity of all matters of news , occurrences of the moreuient , reports of meetings , dec , being sent to us at once , immediately they occur . Instead of which , it often happens , that on Monday and Tuesday we hare scarcely any letters , and en Wednesday comparatively few till tbe night post attires . The consequence is , that those letters which do arrive in the early part of the week are carefully attended to and giren generally at length ; while we are obliged to hare recourse to the London papers , and rarioos sourses , for matter to fill the remaining portion of m many columns of the paper as must be set up before Wednesday night Wednesday night and Thursday morning ' s potts bring u a shoal of letters

      froataU parts Of the country ; these © onw opon . us lust Ia the hurry of writing and attending to what axe called the leading articles ; while in the early part of the week we hare more time to attend to correspondence . The eonseqoenee Is that one halt of these letters are passed orer entirely ; and tbe other half eompraaed into the smallest possi ble amount of space—and the next conseqoeoM is , tbat In the following week we bare letters of complaint from tartoos parties about their com-, munleattons being treated with neglect Some whose letters or reports may hare been omitted for want of space , refer occasionally to the police reporte—the column of "rarieties , " or some other portion of the content * of the 2 nd , 3 rd , « tb , or . . .

We hare had many most angry letters of this description , the cause for which has rested entirely with the parties ttwmselres . Now if our friends will but bear in mind that we are filling up the paper erery day ; that the same column cannot be filled twice orer ; that we must gire out ««* matter as tee have JVST WHiN THE MBN want IT , or there woald be no Star oa Saturday , and tbat therefore we cant wait for the next poa t _ we must go on ; if they would remember all this , and send their communications promptly

      —In the early part of the week—all would stand a fair and a good chance ; and If they would alto remember that we hare only one weekly paper for all England , Scotland , Ireland , and Wales , and that , therefore , no one place can be allowed to monopolize aa unreasonable portion of the paper , we should hare no complaints of inattention to any party—because we know there woald be no ground fox them .

( Hear . y In Dublin tihert are not more than twenty Chartists , and they have obtained a sort of notoriety from a letter which appeared in the newspapers from a respectabli Catholic clergyman . ( Hear . ) It is not my habii to enter into any political controversj with any gentleman of his profession . " I prefer leaving mjaelf liable to hare my motwes impeached by him to entering into any species of angry controversy with him ; and there scarcely erer is acontrorerey in'tha newspapers , however courtfeotisly commenced , that does not end in ill-blood ; therefore , I will not

      advert to anything that tears the name of the Ber . Mr . Ryan , though T believe the oomposition id sot his . . own , but is from the pen of a person wh 69 B contributions to the publio press are familiar to me . Mr . Ryan has impugned me for introducing tis name here , and it is not fair of him to do 80 . I oily introduced his name because I found it in Feargas O'Connor ' s journal , JUid I only introduced it for tfatt purpose of giring Mr . Ryan an oppor tunity of im > crowing any eonnc « tion witb t ) ut jgig- | f ha-4 tiM . < Hear . / I spoke sot of him with disrecpeet , awl I don't now speak of him . with disrespect . I venerate the character that be Btands in before the public . XD& I bare enough of persons to , discuss politic matters with , without involving myself in a disci *

      sioq with the rererend gentleman . ( Hear , hear . ) I should observe that the excuses given for Cbar * tism in this country are of the most ludiorous kind . They say they are Uuivereal Suffragists , but they ' are not . No man can be a Universal Suffragist , The word is misapplied . No man thinks efgoiog so far as to give the franchise to parsons taiatea with crime ; no one thinks of giring the franchise to persons that are not of the age of twenty-one yearf ; no one thinks of giving it to females , though they vote in the Bank of England , and in the manage * ment of the affairs of one hundred millions of people in the East Indies . ( Hear , hear . ) Universal

      Suffrage is a word that should not be used , the term used should be general Suffrage ; and I will goM far as any Chartist in seeking for a general Suffrage . ( Hear . ) I shall not detain you by entering into any discussion on the subject : but I will observe that Chartism in Dublin was originated through personal animosity to myself . It was established here through a feeling of animosity to me , the continuance of which I invite , and I will take care to deserre as much more of it as I possibly can . ( Cheers . ) I should remark before I proceed , that there is a fellow amongst them with a good deal of impudence of the name of Brophy . A Voice—I am here .

      Mr . O'CohneU—I am sorry for it ; there conld not have been a worse fellow , wherever you are . Yoa are as bad a boy as could be , and I will sh ow it in a few minutes . This man has published a letter in the newspapers , in which he accuses me with charging him of being an Orangeman , and he declar es that he is not . ( Hear , bear . ) I have since discovered tbat he is not an Orangeman . He could not be one , for he Was a Catholic ; and , before a Committee , of the House of Commons , it was distinctly proved tSiai no person could be an Orangeman that waa ever a Catholic . The declaration made by a man when he is becoming an Orangeman ia , that he is not » Catholic , and never was one . Therefore I was wrong in imputing that to him , for he was once aRomM Catholic , and , therefore , could not be one . A Voice—fie was worse .

      Mr . O'Connell—Don ' t interrupt me . I . hare , » little more to eay to him . He was a member of Father Spratt ' s society—the Scapularian Society . — and he was dismissed that society . Brophy- ^ I was not . Several Voices—Yoa were , you were . ; Mr . O'Connell . —Don't get into any contest about him . He then went and joiued Parson Gregg , asa carried the scapular belonging to Mr . bprattt society there , and exhibited it to them , to turnn

      into ridicule . There is the man that is the secretary to the Chartists of Dublin , and he has since , I understand , become a Protestant . ( Loud groans , and cries of " turn him oak ") No , no , don . toona him . . ; . ¦ ,. . . . ..... - - ¦ ¦ ¦ ' Mxv Stkblb—No , let no man touch him . Mr . O'Connell . —Let no person attempt to toaen him . He would desire nothing better than that yoa stiould—he came here to provoko yoa to injure aio and to —f Brophy—Let me say half-a-dozen words .

      Mr . O'Connell—I will hear yoa , though 1 oon * know that . 1 ought . Dr . Gray— He is not a member of the Association , and if he be allowed to speak here , it will afford a precedent to others who are not members to come amongst us and disturb our proceeediogs . Mr . O'Connell—Well , then , I'll not hear him . ( Groans , and cries of " put him out . ") Don't attempt to touch him , I will myself see him safely out . [ The Learned Gentleman , accompanied by Mr . Steele , having seen hiu . oat of the room , proceeded to say]—I am sorry for this intident , and I shaH detain the meeting on this subject but one moment longer . The observation I wish to make relates particularly to the men that are endeavouring to get op this Chartist diversion in Dublin—( hear and cheers ) —of course we are rery interesting each of us W himself , and I conceive that it may not be nninoi

      teresting to you to state that the stock-in-trade Feargas O'Connor and bis party is their abnseof me . ( Hear , hear . ) There is not a single lie tbw erer was inrented aboat me that they are not ready to propagate— ( oh , oh)—though Feargua O'Connor ia well aware of tbe utter falsehood of these assertions . ( Groans . ) With respect to him , I need only sayi to give yon an idea of his feelings towards me , that when I went to Leeds Feargas filled three of his newspapers with the strongest and most urgent incentives he could use to induce them to put me to death—( cries of * -oh , oh" )—but he has not kille * me yet . ( Hear , hear , and laughter . ) The principal person among the Chartists in Dublin is Mr . 0 Higgins . He is rexy angry with me , this Mr . O Higgins ; and I will arow he is quite right m being so . Not as a Christian , but as a man , he has erery reason to hate me , for I it was that caused him . w be expelled from the Volunteers for conduct dis-

      We have received the following letter from Mr , John Cleave : — < ' London , 1 , Shoe-lane , Fleet-street , August 25 , 1811 . " Sir , —In yoar Paper of July Slat , the following notice appeared : — ' On Saturday next ( i . e . the 7 th August ) , we shall give the portrait of Eramett te oar Yorkshire subscribers ; on the following Saturday ( the 14 th ) , to those of Lancashire ; on the Saturday after ( the 2 lst ) , to those of all other places . * Now , from some arrangement at your offiue , with which I hare nothing to do , this order of delivery was , in one or two instances , departed from ; thereby giring rise to considerable dissatisfaction among the London readers . In- my own

      justification , permit me to say , that on the 17 th Instant , the Engraver intimated that he had received instructions to delirer tbe quantity of Portraits required by me , on the 19 th instant , on which day I received then , and they were dnly handed orer to the subscribers on the day specified in tbe above notice . And I beg te add , that , whatever may have been the ground of the ill-natured calumny relative to my ' accounts not being right at your office , or I should hare had my Portraits as soon as any one else , ' I only say that I adhered to your own instructions , as laid down in the notice I hare quoted . "I am , Sir ; " Yoar obedient servant , "Johh Clbatb . "

      In reference to this letter we have only to say , that the order to the Engraver to deliver the several numbers of the London Portraits was forwarded some time before the day appointed for the delivery , and the parties requiring them duly apprized of the same . It seems that as Mr . Cleave ' s number was the largest , they were delivered to him the last—but still in time for distribution on the day announced , Aug . 2 lsl ; and it further appears , that the other parties departed from the rule of distribution we had laid down , and gave theirs before the time . Mr . Cleave teas quite right in his delivery : and we are sorry that any inconvenience has arisen to him from others departing from the published rule .
