He thanked GoS that although the nnion hai been once passed , it was no condejttation to Ireland : feecausa tkey appealed from Ireland drnr . fc to Ireland sober . There w&s no statute o ! limitation for a people ' s rights ; and if there was ,- they niuit prove that the compact had been adhered to .

How was that Union achieved ? Was it not when the withering blast ofcorraptlonhad v&raljzea the arm of h dnstry ai d ciimsontd the green fields of Ireland with the blood of her chiiiiren ; then was the Union wsfterl across thn tatatrd Atlastic gale , and forced upon a dcf . bmJw « people when the gnaiaians of fcer glory weri- either consicrjed to a gr&ve , or banished their native land !

He would assure tfcem , that if that meeting Sad been intended to be a Whig mceticg be , wonld sot have been there to take part in ende&ycariag t- bobter up that old , and he hoped dtf unct policy .

He regretted that the but resolution bad n > t been moved

      as an addition to lbe former one , as they were not in the least inconsistent with each other .: What did it declare Why , that if the people of Ireland felt tbit thsy could have no redress lor tfceia wrongs -without ii , they had a right to demand the Repeal ; of the Union—( hear , and cheerej . That was his opinion—{ hear , hear ) . They had a just right to demand the Repeal of an Act of Parliament . { A female in the msetizse , " And we'll have it , " ) ( Lansliter . ) This Act of Parliament was concocted in fraud and executed in injustice ; and tha Irish had a right to demand its repeal . Tb ^ y had heard that the Government WGnld go to war Milh Ire- , land lather than concede tbe RrpeaL In fact , gentlemen in the House of Commons talked of civil war with Ireland , with as much levity , and with as mucb glee , as they would pass a Turnpike Bill or vote a Royal pension—( hear ) . But they ought to recollect that in conducting a civil war .- or any other war , the Government mutt have the consent ajid eordial

      cooperation of taa people to carry it on—( htar , hear ) . Was the eonntry prepared to snpport a civil -war with Ireland , in order to continue the injustice of her ruler * ? —hear , heart . Were they prepared to do so in OTder to bolster up a Tory Admmi-mtiOTi ; wbich was the laughing stuck of Ireland , ai : d the contempt of England ? H ^ s « ras quite satis-fied that the people of England Wonld say from one end of Englacd to tte oLner , that on tt : * very first Boot which thii despioiblu tl . > - VrtDHien'i ^ faxuM fiie , the v < yy first sword which should be staiDed with Irish bloml , tbs civil war would not be confined to Ireland—t ' oud cheers . ) Tbe people of this country had a long account to settle with former Governments ; and instead of joining in this unholy

      crusade against their Irish fellow-subjects , they are mucb more likely to unite hands with Ireland , in resenting their mutual oppressions and in redreBsine their muhrsl wrongs . With regard to the question to be sttlled by the meeting ; if the Teaolntdon did not convey to the people or Ireland that they had a right to demand Repeal , be hoped they would pass the amendment ; though he thought that : the amendment might have been very properly added to the resolution , as they were perfectly consistent with each other . At all events he trusted that they should not permit any var to be levied , for the purpose of depriving a noble and generous people of those rights ; and privilepes . which both the coa = tituvion and tfaeir < ywn intelligence entitled lheni to to demand . —( Vi * at cbesricg . )

      3 Sz FDSSELL tobb for the purpose of atating t « 2 » be and bis friend hart no objection thB to amendment )* ing put as an addition to the resolution . Tbe Irish i > ocj > te were toid by their influential leader , 0 'Cof » neli—( cheersi—that hs had no hope from ths Imperial Parliament ; that his only hope was in ha > ing power placed in the hands of the people . The gentlemen en the platform taid this wonld destroy the influence and dignity of the British empire . To wtiat good or hoij purpose had British dignity oz influence ever been employed ? Had not theSriH&h Government joined in tvery tyrannical and unholy scheme ? Was she not looked npon as an oppressive tyrant ! by surroniKiirtg nations ? The Repeal of the Union would break and divide the strength of the aristocracy ; and if it did nought else , that alone made it worth while to seek for m Repeal of Use Union .

      Mr . Haisjes having been loudly calltd for , reCQJOmecded them , although in a Kiding School , uot to gallop too fast ; hut to agree to receive ' the amendment as an addition , For tfce last eleven years fce had devoted his services to the cauje of Ireland ; and hs dtnied that Repeal waa the cry of despair , or the wail of agony .

      Mr . R . Ow en attempted to address the assembly , but there was so much noise in the body of the meeting , which w » 3 now packed to suffocation , that he could not obtain a hearing . Mr . Ktezer . of Tottenhatn-cenrt-road , next addressed the meeting in a spirit -which excited a good deal of merriment , but of which we could not collect a single sentence , not only on account of the roaia of laughter with which he waa interrupted , bat the peculiar articulation of the speaker . ' Mr . Owen again presented himself . As we

      understood , he wished the meeting to inquire what were the causes of Use excitement which prevailed in Scotland , Wales , England , and Ireland ? He asked what was the cause thai :, in the midst of all abundant means of -wealth , there was so much distress and misery , ignorance , disorder , and starvation . The meeting became so impatient and noisy that it was impossible to gather more than that Mr . Owen contended that by their union the people bad in their own power the means of tenninattg tbeir misery , and changing the face of the country and the state of society , to peace , happiness , and abundance .

      The Cijaiejian then read the resolution by itself and also with the amendment as an addition ; a few words having been left out to prevent tautology . When the vote was taken-, almost every hand was held up for the motion with the addition ; white not a dozen appeared for the original resolution . This decision was recuved with tremendous cheering . < Mr . Baker moved ihe following resolution : Tbst this meeting has heard with deep regret the opinion avowed by the principal Secretary of State for the Home Department , ' that concession towards the Irish people had reached its limits , ' from which they are' led to apprehend Vbo adoption of a course of coercive pflicy towards Ireland , which can have no other tfftstt , than to exasperate the feelingB without removing tbe discontents of oar fellow subjects in that country . "

      Mr . Biker expressed bis hope that the Aot of Union might be Repealed by a better act , and bis belief that the peoplo Gf Ireland would feel delighted when they heard that thousands of the inhabitants of the Metropolis had made a demonstration on tbeir behalf . Mr . Savage seconded the resolution . Having been many years connected with the Chartist body , he had stated his belurthEt Sir B . Hall would act fairly in the chair , and that if they dealt fairly by the Chartists , they would not regret coiling a public meeting in the Boronch of M . irylebone . SirCHABLES Napieb , M . P . for the Borough , supported the resolution in a sailor-like speech ; but happening to' fell foul of the Repeal question , he was spf e ^ ily sent to the rish t abeut , amid considerable diseatif-faction . Tbe resolution was uE&nimoudy carried . Mr . Smart moved the third and fourth resolutions combined , as follows : —

      " That this meeting considers that the present slate of feeling in Ireland is to be attributed to a long-continned system of iDJastico in all departments of Government ; to the maintenance ef an extravagant State Church , -which the people of that country are compelled to support , -while it prescribes a fora of 'wortiiip not In accordance with the religious feelings of a rreat majority of the population ; to tho extremely defective state cf tLo elective franchise ond tho municipal laws ; and to tbe unsatisfactory state of the laws relative to-la : i . Hord and tenant And that a memorial be addressed to her Majesty , embodying the foregoing resolutions , p : ajing that she may be pleased to take

      tbe tame irto her most gracious consideration , that a stop may be put to coercive measures ; that &uch a wise , jnst , and cntciliatory policy may be promoted aa will advance both Political end Ecclesiastical Reform ; that her Majesty will give to her Irish subjects an ( quality of laws with Great Britain ; and coufer reapett on there laws by Btcuring the impartial distribution cf justice ; and should the Government not immediately propose to Parliament such measures as may tranqailise tfce present disturbed state of Ireland , by placing all classes of that country npon an eqnnlity with their fellow-suhj-jcfs of < 3 «* t Britain ; this meeting further prajB bPr Majesty to dismiss her presett adviaera , and appeal to the .-ense of the people . "

      Mr . Smythk seconded the resolution , in a speech of con * iderabie aLility . Sharhan Crawford , M . P ., in an excellent address , supported the resolution . He rejoiced at seeing such an immense meet-. ns .

The Whigs were , therefore , rigbtly inculpated . With regard to the Repeal question , no one in that room had been more sincerely attached to

      MANSLAUGHTER AT RAWMARSH . I Edward Pierpoint ) 23 , and Isaac Jackson , 24 , were charged with tho manslaughter of Isaac Leealey , on the 6 ch June last , at I'awmarsh . Mr . Pashley and Mr . Overend conducted the prosecution ; Mr . Wilkins defended Pierpoint , and Mr . Bliss appeared on behalf of Jackson . On the 6 th of Jane ; last , the day on which this occurrence took place , a feast was being held at Masbro , ' near Rotberham , and about eleven o ' clock on the night of that day , there were a number of persons , amongWhom were the prisoners at the bar , and a man of the name of Myers , who took part in the attack upon the deceased , but was not in custody , in a room at the public-house , at Masbro ' , called the

      " iStation Inn . " They ; were up stairs , and there was dancing and a good deal of drinking going ou . The dancing was conducted pretty quietly till about halfpast one o ' clock next morning , when the circumstances connected with th is affray commenced . Some of the parties were a good deal tho worse lor liquor . The deceased came up stairs , and having used some provoking language , a scuffle took place between him and Myers ; a general row followed , twelve orfourteen of the party paired themselves off , and began to fight After the disturbances had subsided a little , the deceased , who appeared to have b . en very ill treated , was taken down stairs , where he complained of great pain . After this , when the deceased was on the ground , Jackson was observed to go up to the

      accused and jump upon his body twice . Pierponl also strode over him , Raised him from the floor by the coat collar , gave him a violent kick on the left sijio , just below the ribs , and threw him dewn again on the floor . Myers was also seen to kick the deceased whilst lying on the ground . About four o'clock he was seen on his roai home , apparently in great pain ; and again , three hours later , he was seen b y a socond party on the road Bide in th » same condition . On his arrival at home , a medical man was called in ; but his endeavours to eave ' his life wtre fruitless , and ho expired , after suffering great pattt for about twenty-four hours . A p > 'st mortem examination was made , and it wa . 3 found that death had been caused by a rupture of tho bowels , which , in'the opinion of the surgeon , had been produced by external violence .

      Mr . Blis ? , on tho part of Jackson , submitted that the evidence was contradictory , and insufficient to fix the charge on him : and Mr . Wilkins , on behalf of ; Pierpoint , contended that tho evidence , and especially that of the medical man , proved that the death of the deceased had been caused not by a kick on the ribs , but by a blow on the boJy , which it . had be ; en shown had been inflicted by Myers , the man not in custody . Myers waa the man with whom the deceased first came in contact , and it had been proved that before the violence , which at an after part of tho proceedings was spoken f \ he ( Myers ) ha'd inflicted on the deceased such iijuric-i as , according to the medical man ' s evidence , would produce tho result and appearance which he had described .

      The Learned Judge summed up with great minuteness . The questions for tho consideration of tbe Jury were , whether the evidence , which left the matter in considerable doubt , w&s sufficient to fix the chargo upon Jackson , and whether Pierpoint was acting in concert with Myers , and took part in ii flicting those injuries which caused tho death of the deceased . The Jury retired to ; consider their verdict , and after an absence of twenty minutes , they returned into Court with a verdict ot" Acquittal ia favour of both the prisoners . Wm . ilctrgreaves , pleaded Guilty to the ma , iH slaughter of John Holder , at Bradford , on the 29 Db of April last . Mr . Wasnet , who appeared on the part of the prisoner , called several respec'able witnesses , who gave the prisoner an excellent character for humanity , kindness , and general good behaviour .

The prisoner , who appeared to [ have been sober , wished to evade any quarrel

      with the deceased , but he continued his abuse , and challenged the prisoner out to fight . The prisoner declined doing so , upon which the deceased used some further opprobrious language , and called him a coward . This had still no tffect upon him . but some other parties in the house said " Go out , and ^ ivt ) him a round or two , and ho'U be quiet . " He wont out , together wiih the deceased and some other persons . Tim fi ^ ho commenced , and eventually the deceased received a blow which threw him down He fell on some bricks , and received some io jury at th « back of the neck , which appeared to have produced paralysis and death .

Understanding that it was probable that tho Grand Jury would be discharged to day , tlicy had abstained from sending the witnesses last ni ^ ht , for the purpose of saving Ihe county the expense of a few shillings for their conveyance . lie ( ihe Learned

      Judge ) could uqt , however , allow this prisoner to be detained in tbft Castle tor perhaps nine months , in order that the Grand Jury should ba discharged to-day . He had accordingly dispaicheJ a messenger to Huddersfield ; o fetch the wi : nesses ; and he was most reluctantly compelled to detain the Grand Jury in order to ] entertain that question .
