The xarcumstancB has caused more excitement in Promethan-ire remember to hare existed upon any jatsrions occasion , in consequence of the masters -and Liberal Dissenters having refused the Cnanisls Mjb use -of any of their buildings , for the purpose of their own meetings ; while-tbose mouthing Liberals , sot a monihmnce , outstripped the most violent Chartist in violence , when their aid was courted bj file Leaguers and -DisseBfceis for tbe purpose of resisting the educational clauses in the Factory UiH . The Chartists offered fifty shillings , or any price in fecj ^ for a place to meet in , but were disappointed , hafrng received Sat and impertinent refusals from flie League and 4 he Dissenters . There is no doubt that the < iiscovery , aad the calamity which
was a consequence , of the illiberality of the middle classes ,-will have a contrary effect to that which by Jhe exercise of their petty power they had anticipated , lie people witnessed the sneers and jeers of their liberal friends npon the announcement of therumoHT that rah throngh the town , like lightning , that Peargns O'Connor was killed . Mr . O'Connor , howeTer , haring 3 earnedthe true cause of the disaster from the "working men , assured * them ihe misfortune should not proTe a triumph to . faction ; iia that he -wonld xetum on Monday next to "Frome , and hold an outdoor meeting npon firm ground which would . not give way . This announcement was reoerred wifli loud cheers , and the Committee forgetting the past dan « r , in the anticipated
return of Mr . O , fk > 2 inor £ e ; to work immediately to anake arrangements for grring effect to the meeting of Monday next , which is to take place at six o ' clock in the evening . The "Liberals have already Tseeved a taste of ihat retribution which the Chsrfist body have resolved" upon taking . They haye spent a a portion of their time in going about in a hopeless « ndeaYonr to conciliate the wonnded , while ihe sufferers reject their sympathy , telling them , that to them the catastrophe is jnstly attributable . It may not be amiss to state our position herein Prome . The manufacture of woollen -doth is « ur staple trade , and the borough returns one member . Thereoresentationliasgotinto the hands ef 3 ir .

IEISH DISTURBANCES . —IMPOETANT CORRESPONDENCE { From the Freeman ' s Journal , } Dublin , JHly 10 th , 1843 . MtLokd , —At the present oisis I deem it ; the bounden du ^ of every lover of the peace , happiness , lawi prosperity of their country , to furcish those who have tbe power to make laws with any facts which they may consider essential , to the end that tho 3 elaws may be as jast and as equitable as human wisdom can devise . \ It appears , by the published report of the debate on the Irish Arms' BilL that 50 ur Lordship has slated— : ** lst . That murders harebeen committed in Ireland with greater impunity than in any other country in the world . ;
** 2 ndly . That there is more difficulty in bringing the guilty parties in Ireland to justice than there is in any . other country in the world . i M 3 rdly . That the tsrime of robbery of fire arms is unknown in England or in any other country except Ireland . And with a view to remedy those I acknowledged evils you have introduced the Irish Aims * Bffl . " S How , my Lord , I know a good deal about Ireland . I have been frequently through nearly every part of it ; and-althougtilam aware that it may , for a time , make me Tery unpopular , yet , justice- ^ strict justice , demands that 1 should not -only confirm your Lordship's statement , but must add that I have always looked npon the meddling of the Irish Catholio priesthood in matters , I may say , of a strictly temporal nature , to have been exceedingly mischievous , though I believe well-intentioned . .
The opposition which the Irish ArmB Bill has received , and is still likely to receive , in its progress through the House of Commons , will afford me Btifficient time to supply your Lordship with some important facts which yon have omitted , and which I hope you will lay before Parliament . 1 have the honour to be , my Lord , Your Lordship ' s most obedient servant , Patbick O'Hjggins . To the Bight Honourable Lord Eliot , House of Commons , London . Irish Ofiiee , July 12 , 1843 . Sib—I have io acknowledge with thanks the receipt of yonr communication of the 10 th inst . I am , Sir , Your obedient servant , Euor . Patrick O'Higgins , Esq ., Dublin .
My Lobd—I have been duly honoured by your lordship's letter acknowledging the receipt of my communication of the 10 th inst . I shall sow , in fulfilment of the promise which I mads in that cammunica . tion , supply your Lordsbip With a few important facts which yon omitted j to state when you brought forward the Irish Arms ' BUI in the House of Commons . In doing so I shall take tbe liberty to say that in my humble opinion it is the imperative duty of any one who may occupy the high and onerous position which your Lordship occupies , armed ex-iffido with the power to make laws , to have those laws based upon truth , upon justice , and npon equity ; to the end that the whole community , that is to say , the well disposed , may
admit their justice , obey them cheerfully , and respect and honour the authors of them . Bnt , my Lordj a -willing obedience to the laws or respect for lawmakers cannot be expected ; from a people while they are under the Impression that those laws are founded npon a partial statement of a case , in order to jnstify their enactment . The fullest , most rigid , and impartial inquiry shonld be instituted prior to the introduction of a bill such as the Arms' Bill . And I hope that I shall convince your Lordship that a Parliamentary inquiry similar to that to which I have partially allnded is absolutely necessary as a matter of common justice , as a preliminary step Uo ibe _ introduction of the Irish Arms' Bill , or of any otKer bill of a similar tendency .
My Lord , you have stated , and your Lordship's statement has gone far and wide : — " ** 1 st . That the crime of robbery of fire armsfis unknown in England , or in any other country except in Ireland . " 2 nd . That there axe more mnrders committed in Irelandy sad" Tvith greater impunity , than in -any other country in the world . " 3 rd . That there is more difficulty in bringing the gnil'y parties in Ireland to justice than there is in any other country ; " ;
I * ow , my Lord , I believe these three propositions to be circumstantially true . But your Lordship omitted altogether to state the cause of those disgraceful murders ; who were the parties murdered , and by whom , and under what pretence . Surely my Lord , a great statesman , undertaking to legislate for nine muliouB of people , should have stated the whole case , and should not have relied upon vague , loose , and indefinite accusation against a whole nation , as a justification of a harsh , partial , and arbitrar ? Ia ~ w , '
1 st . With respect to the crime of robbery of firearms in Ireland—a crime which your Lordsnip says , and says trnly , is unknown in England or any other country—it is right io trace the cause to the fountain head . Why , then , is this crime unknown in England ? Because a cherished minority of the people of England are not empowered by penal statutes to sally forth and rob the hated , persecuted , and calumniated majority of their fire-arms . If such were the case in England , which is bnt too true with respect to Ireland , those who under the colour of law were robbed cf their fire-arms and made the galley slaves of the minority , would endeavour to get their fire-arms back again , same as they do in Ireland , wholly regardless whether any Noble Lord would call it robbery or not . -
There waa an act paseed in 1819 , entitled , " The Search for Arms Bill . " This Uill waa brought into Parliament by the late Lord Casilereagb , who" cat bis throat at Jfonb Cray , in Kent , three years afterwards . 1 believe it was tbe last aci of Parliament ihat empowered the minority to seize and carry away the fire-arms of the great majority of the Irish people . Is it fair or just to charge wi $ h robbery of fire-arms those who make a feeble effort occasionally to get their own property back again 1 There is s parson of the established chnrch , who is still living in tbe county Armagh , who was a captain of a yeomanry corps as well as a parson , and
who , in the exuberance of his loyalty , spent the greater part of the Sabbath day drilling and training his corps , and preparing them for "search for arms" campaigns ; and upon such occasions was not nnfrequently too late in church to exchange his military accoutrements before the performance of divine service , and who was therefore under the necessity of throwing iiis surplice over his naforta , and thus attired , proceed to discharge the duties of a minister of peace , upon which occasions his sword used to peep out trom nnder his surplice , to the infinite amusement of the unrigh eous , ana the disgrace of that chureh of which he is a minister .
Wi ^ li bible with bayonet , by turns thiB hero chose , To save the souls of orange friends , and cat down Papist foes . Itis very probable that this T » ve * end gentleman is one of those whoa Mr . Walter , of the Times , deagnaied as " snrpliced ruffians . " It would occupy too much of yonr Lordship ' s thro iotreable yon with the perusal of the Beveral statutes empowering and authorising the favoured few to deprive the persecuted many of their firearms in Inland . But , in order that your Lordship may see those statutes at one view , I beg leave to refer you to ** Scully ' s Penal Laws , " and ** Howard ' s Popery Cases . " Blackstone says , " that the difference 1 > £ 1 ween a freeman and a slave is , that the one is-armed and the other ibdoi . " The Irish know and feel the fuU force of lhis gayiog .
Your Lordship ' s second proposition , which in-Tolves the ihird , is , "that there are more more murders committed in Ireland , and with greater impurity , than in any other country in the world . ' * , ; This proposition , I regret to say , is strictly true . But you omitted to stats the canse of those murders , the partieB guilty of them , and wno were tbe vifrtims . The remote causeof those barbarous murders may , with strict justice , be attributed to bad laws . Permit me to observe , en passant , that I am one of those who believe that Protestants are just as pious as Catholics , and that they would support their own clergy as the Catholics do , without dipping their handB into tbeir Catholic neighbours' pocketB , if the
law wonld permit ibem co so . t Ihe pareons of the church by statnle law estar blushed Jn Ireland , are empowered by nnmerons statutes to take , by force of arms , by the bayonet and the bulletj the property of their Catholic neighbours , for which they give them no consideration , no Tame , -in return for what they take way , except that of declaring , and sometimes swearing , that their la « h is superstitions , idolatrous , and damnable , j When you stated that there were more murders committed in Ireland than in any other country yon , were bound , in candour and m juBtice , tohaTe stated holdly and fearlessly that the nineteenths of those murders were committed in the collection of , and resistance io , the payment of titbs ; and what makes fee case suU worse , those instances committed in the presence of ministers of religion ^ claiming the tithe as a debt due to God Almighty , for the son-payment of which , they , God ' s ministers

on earth , and magistrates too , exercising both the temporal and spiritual power , commanded the police or soldiers , and sometimes both , to shoot down God ' s creatures , 'for the love of God and a few shillings alleged to be due to him in the shape of tithe . Now , my Lord ; this is true ; and let me ask yon is there Buoh crnelty , tyranny , cant , and blasphemy established by law in any other country in the world exoept iu unhappy Ireland ? There were twenty human beings , God ' s creatures , murdered at Skibbereen for a few peroheB of potatoes which Parson Morritt said was due to God , but which the poor people refused to dig for him ; aad for which refusal , and for endeavouring to protect those which they had Btoied np as their only food for the winter ,
there were upwards of twenty of them Bhot dead in one day . Yet Parson Morritt still lives . ' At Newtonbarry , on the 18 th of June , 1831 , there were fourteen persons brutally and barbarously murdered for a sum of £ 2 6 s ., tithe alleged to have been due to God , by a former of the name of Doyle ; but which £ 2 6 s . herefnsed to pay to a Rev , Gentleman of the name of M'Clintook , who assumed to be a man of God a follower of the Apostles , and a teacher of the doctrines of our blessed Redeemer ; but who was , in reality , the brother-in-law of Lord Rodeu , whom you know is nephew to the celebrated Bishop of Ciogher . Well , Farmer Doyle said that this o £ 3 b § i ^ as )^ djple to God as alleged by ParsonM * 6 nniock , norxtufe , aooording to British
statute law , tiu the November following ; whereupon this man of God , this parson M'Clintook , the brotherin-law of Lord Jtoden , who is nephew to the Bishop of Clogher , seized upon some half score of Farmer Doyle ' s calves , impounded thetn , sentfor the police and yeomanry to assist at ] their sale by auction . The day of sale arrived ; the police and yeomanry were under the command of this Christian minister and Captain Graham ; the cattle were brought out of the ponnd for Bale , when some little boys hissed and hooted at the disgraceful and anti Christian proceedings ; and it is < said , a few stones or pebbles were thrown at the . police , whereupon they fired , volley after volley , upon the crowd going to market , —for this tithe slaughter took place upon the inarket
day at Newtonbarry , —when fourteen persons were shot dead upon the spot , amongst whom was one Mary Mulrooney whose unborn babe was Bhot dead as well as herself . Here then was a Christian minister shedding blood for money ! Are these crimes enumerated in your Lordship ' s catalogue 1 Are crimes so revolting aa these known in any other pan of the world except in Ireland ! No , no , my Lord , I am sure they are sot . Every country on the face of . the earth is a 6 tranger * to such scenes of iniquity ; At Carricksbook , on the 14 th of December following , nineteen persons were kiUed in another tithe affray ; and it wasproved that when the unfortunate and hasty Captain Gibbons shot tbe man who laid his baud upon the bridle of
the horse Captain Gibbons was riding merely to ask him a question abont the tithe proctor , against whom all the hostility of the people was directed , the last words he uttered as he fell were— "boys , I am gonej but remember iNewtownbarry . " Thus , you see , that one massacre lays the foundation of another . Is this the Bystem yon profess to cure by an Irish Arms' Bill ! At Walistown six persons were shot . At Moncoin a similar number . In short , from one end of Ireland to the other the people have , nnder ihe colour of law , been shot down indiscriminately for the purpose of maintaining the ministers of a chnrch which , after all'these bloody deeds , asserts that it derives its title to support direct from Heaven . I shall pass over the burning of the corn of the poor
on the pnblic roads , when the men of God could not get bidders for it . I shall pass orer the deaths in prison , the seizure , branding , and starving to death the cattle of the poor , for the honour and glory of God and the comfort of the parsons—the seizure and sale of the furniture of my own house ^—the hunting of the people with hound and horn , with horse , foot , and artillery—the writs of rebellion against tithe recusants , by which pauper attorneys amassed large fortunes ;; and come at once to the bloodiest clerical tragedy that ever was enacted on the face of the earth , which is that ef Rathcormao , on the 24 th day of December , 1834 , Christmas eve J It was here that Parson Ryder , a minister of religion and a justice of tbe peace ,
commanded tne military to nr « upon the people who surrounded the Widow Ryan's fit&ck-yai&to-prevent this man of God from forcing tbe gates to take away the corn which she had secured in her stackyard and barn . It was here that Parson Ryder commanded the military to shoot the people , and they did shoot them . And when the heart-broken wiaow was kneeling by the dead body of her bleeding son , Parson Ryder rode up to her and said' * Widow Ryan , wj ! l you pay me now ! " Did any thing like this ever occur . in any country in the world except Ireland 1 Were : the parties guilty of these atrocious crimes brought ; to justice 1 No—not one of
them ! It is true , then , as your Lordship has stated it , that there is more , difficulty in bringing guilty parties to justice iu Ireland than there is in any other country in the world ; and to obviate the difficulty , and as an all efficient remedy , you bring forward an Irish Arms' Bill ! MyjLord , there cannot be a greater proof , or a better one adduced , of the peaceable and forgiving character of the Irish people , than that Parsons Ryder , Hamilton , and Morritt havenot been shot long ago , and that Parson M'Ciintock , the brothers-in-law of Lord Roden , who , bear in mind , is nephew to the ex-Bishop of Ciogher , Jocelyn , died quietly on his bed .
In my letter of the 10 th instant I mentioned that I had always looked upon ] ihe meddling of the Irish Catholic priesthood in matters which I considered as strictly temporal , to have been , though well-intentioned , exceedingly mischievous . I shall now tell you the reason why their conduct appeared to me to have a mischievous tendency . It will be admitted that it is the duty of every good member of society to adopt the most efficient means to put an end to the shedding of human blood ; JNow , my lord , when the people were goaded into madness by rack-rent heartless landlords driving them off their estates in thousands , hundreds of whom perished of want lof which fact there is ample evidence in the reports of parliamentary committees on the state of Ireland ) ,
on tbe one hand , and ministers of religion slaughtered and plundered the people by wholesale on the other hand , and when it was well known , and is notoriously true , that the maddened , goaded , plundered people , finding that the laws afforded them no redress , but , on the contrary , oppressed them more and more , and gave additional impunity to their persecutors , bad it in contemplation , as a last resource , and as their only hope of preserving themselves from Htter annihilation , to shoot half a-dozen of bishops and as many titled rack-rent landlords , which would most unquestionably have put a total Btop to any further effusion of blood ; an end to tithe slaughters , and an end to the wholesale depopulation of the country ;—weU ,: what did the priests do
in the midst of these scenes of desolation 1 They one and all preached to the people to abstain from all acts of violence in retaliation i to flnbmil to the will of God ! and actually made them believe that this cruel treatment was inflicted upon them by Divine Providence as a scourge for their sins , and that it was their duty as Christians to submit to it I that thn Almighty vrouW att \ ml them redress In due time ; but that they should yield implicit obedience to the laws and those who . were placed in power to rule over them . The re . BJiU of this advice was additional persecution and accumulated wrongs . The parsons and the landlords having now nothing to fear from resistance , went on shooting and plundering tbe people on one hand , and driving them out of
their holdings to perish : of want and die in the ditcneB in hundreds on the other hand ; whereas 1 am thoroughly convinced that had the priests refrained from interfering in the matter at all , the people would have soon redressed their own wrongs 5 and although I have an instinctive horror of bloodshed and violence , yet I should , as a choice , prefer being ehot at once to that of being starved to death by hunger . Nor can 1 for the life of me see the difference , in moral turpitude , between a parson of the EstaWiahed Church shooting a peasant for a few shillings tithe , and a peasant shooting a parson in retaliation ; and eonsiderirg the rank in society , the education and profession of the parson , there cannot be a shadow of doubt on the mind of any rational man that the balance of guilt is on the Bide of the
parson . , „ Have you , my Lord , ever heard of any country in tbo world , exoept Jrelandjalone , where the ministers of a Teligion of a very Email minority of the people were authorised by statute law to shed Plooa for money 1 Ministers professing Christianity , and at the same time trampling upon the actB of the Apostles , and relying with impunity upon Acts of Parliament I Or have you eTer heard of any other country , except Ireland , iwhere the priests of the oeoole ' s choice Dreaehed resignation and BubmiBBion
to such unparalleled tyranny , oppression , *™ n f Justice ! Depend npon it , that the .

BETWOOD .-A camp meeting was holden in this village , on Sunday last , the 23 rd inst , which was numerously attended , considering the very unfavourable state of the weather , the speakers , J / Iessra . Wood and Cbadwick , of Rochdale ; Mills , of Whitworth , and Bell , of Hey wood , acquitted themselves to tbe satisfaction of the audience , ' and succeeded in removing a portion of the apathy that has holden possession of the working class of this once spirited village ever since the unfortunate turn-oat in August last LECTURE —A lecture , was delivered in the evening , in the Association Room , Hartley-street by Mr . Wood , of Rochdale , to a numerous and attentive audience . At the close a goodly ; number of males and females enrolled themselves aa members of the Association- From the Bpirit evinced on Sunday , we soon expect to see Heywood herself again . ¦
LONDON . — Golden Lion , Bean Street , Soho Mr . Preston delivered a spirited and instructive lecture here , on Sunday evening last , which was well received by tbe audience . I ^ ,., '" Stab , g 6 \ deH : La . ne . —On Sunday last the following resolution was carried unanimously : — " That It is with feelings of sorrow that we read in the Star the two letters from our itnprisoned brothers , complaining ot the neglect of the j Chartists towards their families ; and we are decidedly In favour of a Committee being elected pro tern , according to the suggestion of the Editor of the Star ; for we are of opinion that there are many families at this moment pining in sorrow , neglected and forgotten . We are also prepared with our mites to aid a General Victim Fund , and will support none other ; for we consider that the man who takes a prominent part in the Agitation has no more right or call to be Bupported than the man who does not take a prominent part ; All ought to share alike , without distinction to class or rank . "
BIRMINGHAM .. —At a meeting of the Astonstreet locality , on- Monday evening , July 24 , it was resolved , ¦ ' That it is tho opinion of this meeting , a Conference of Delegates from the Chartists of the various towns and localities in the United Kingdom , to consider and adopt a defln ite plan of general Organisation , should be holden ; on the last Monday in August ; and that the said Conference should take place in Birmingham , it being most favourably situated for that purpose . ' * It ¦ was also resolved , That the various plans of Organization Which bad appeared in tbe Star should be broucht before' a General Meeting of the Member of the locality on Monday evening , July ! 31 st , at seven o ' clock , that the , wishes of the locality may be ascertained , and instructions for a delegate formed" .
DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association met at six o'clock on Sunday last , at No . 14 , North Anne Street , Mr . Simon Tobin in the chair . Tbe following resolution Was unanimously adopted : — " That having ascertained beyond all doubt or question that tbe reason why the British Minister abandoned his original threat to embody tbe English militia regiments , for the purpose of ^ putting down , by force of arms , the Repeal Movement , ' upon the old Castlereagh system ot arming tbe British people and bringing them into hostile collision with the Irish in Ireland , and vice versa , was entirely and exclusively owing to the witle-spxean influence and indoininable spirit of Chartism ; that the returns which were made to the general order to embody tbe militia , by the-Lieutenanta and Deputy Lieutenants
of Counties , and Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels of the Staff of the several militia regiments in England , wer « - to the effect that the great majority of the working classes of Great Britain were so deeply embued with Chartist principles , it would be dangerous t' « enroll , drill , arm , and equip them ; that it was impossible to raise a regiment in England without having two-thirds of th « men not only favourable to a Repeal of the Union , but to a severance of the two countries , should the Irish desire it ; that nearly the whole of the English peasantry , and a vast portion of tho middle classes , including the entire body of Dissenters , ate opposed to the continuance fef a Protestant Church Establishment in Ireland , and anxiously desiro ita total and immediate abrogation : that after this aignal service t » the people
of Ireland , those ! who arrogate to themselves the exclusive advocacy of tbe Repeal ot the ITnipn , will b *> guilty of base ingratitude , unless they publicly ack owledge the noble , independent , and tittly Christian conduct of the British Chartists ; that it is now obvious that tbo minister cannot , for any bounty , get Chartists to enlist in a crusade against the liberties of the people of Ireland ; and that , therefore , his only hope to put down the Repeal Movement , is by getting Irishmen , who are not Chartlsta , to enlist for that tyrannical purpose . That wbj the members of tne Irish Universal Suffrage Association , in public meeting lawfully assembled , do hereby most cordially and heartily tender our warmest thanks to our British Chartist : Brethren for having , by a strict adherence to the true and genuine
principles of liberty , disappointed the Minister and saved the country from the horrors of a civil war ; and we emphatically call upon every honest man in Ireland to join us in oar grateful thanks to the Chartists of Great Britain . " This resolution was passed amidst the most enthusiastic cheering . A wonderful change in favour of Chartism has taken place during the j last week in consequence of the publication of a correspondence between 'Mr . O'Higgins and Lord Eliot ; although it appears in one paper only , tho Freeman's Journal , n * other paper having had either the courage or the honesty to publish it . Thatjsneaking , beggarly , half republican , toad-eating- and sycophantic paper , tbe Nation , declined the publication of this admirable correspondence ; for this correspondence igave the lie to the Nation , { and all other trading politicians who have asserted ever and
over again that MrJOBiggina and the liian Universal Suffrage Association were in the pay of the Tories . They refused to do this act of common justice to a man and an association which they have basely calnmDiated Hundreds of pounds of the publio money have been sp « nt In fruitless efforts to suppress Chartism in Ireland . Even the very Catholic Churches have been the depots of bearing false witness against Chartists ; the walls of those sacred edifices have been polluted ^ by the falso testimony of the O'Connella , the Steels , the Daunts , tho Bays , the Me'Nallja , the Byrnes , the frenches , the Hearnes , the Mc'Hughs , the Kellys , and others . Nevertheless Cbartiflm is nourishing in Ireland . Nothing has tended so much to dtopel the delusion under which the citizens of Dublin were labouring ' , aa tnia recent correspondence with lordl Eliot .
