      a roantry worth fighting for ! ( Cheers /) xhey were engaged in a noble struggle , and they Wfro * p » o = ; ed in a most ludicrous way . First came the threat of civil wax , from ; the twaddling , tottering iron duke in the House ! of Lords , and in the House of CommoBs from Peel ; who accompanied it with the treasonable falsehoodi that the Queen had declared that she was an enemy to the Bepeal of tbe Union . They laughed , that threat to scorn , knowing that they were safe j beneath the shield of the constitution so long as they violated no law , and gyre no opportunity to their enemies to attack them ; while at the sama time theyj were ready , and still were ready , to meet any attack that might be made « pon them—( cheers ) . Wo jto him who assailed

      them . They wonid never abandon the constitution ander which they lived , but they would know how to perish in it if necessary—( cheers ) . Then came Sugden upon them , who had the audacity to do so , knowing that if the assertion wete even true , it would sriD have been unconstitutional to hare made nse of it . The next step was a proclamation against the ballad-singers , with directions to tbe polics to watch ereiy old woman wjjo sang Bongs in the streets , to take her up , and bind her oTer to keep the peace—( laughter ) . Wellington , Ptel , Graham , and mad Stanley , could think ; of nothing better for Ireland than a proclamation against old women . They were so mneh afraid of them that they sent a war-steamer there to keep them quiet . Now , he

      had a great mind to pnt four old women into a boat jo -morrow , wnh the son of a isevcook as coxswain , and send them over to take that steamer . He said so thus early that the officers might have fair notice —( laughter ) . Something more serious , howerer , followed , for if they arrested a single old woman under that proclamation , he knew an attorney who wonid briDg au action against the per-« = on arresting her —< hear , hear)—so that not an arrest would take place without an action , in order to try the good taste of tbe policemen who should arrest . But then came the most frightful part of the opposition . Sir J . Graham , representing tb » power of the Crown in the Honso of Commons , hsd the atrocious audacitv ( fap spoke of newspaper

      reports ) to assert that the prelates , clergy , nobility gentry , and laity of Ireland were guilty of perjury against the oath of allegiance . He ( Mr . O'Connell ) was ashamed to say , ihit witka few exceptions , the Irish gentlemen wno were present had not treated the Home Secretary as be deserved , Sir W . Barron told him he was insolent . That was a tolerable hint ; but he regretted to find it siated , and hoped it was not trne , that the O'Conor Don accepted a kind of left-handed apology . He was treated as a peTjnrer , and should not have accepted anything short of the most complete retractation of so degrading a charge . It was a ialse—it was a lying , charge . ( Cncscf"It wss . ") When Sir R . ln « lis made it in his ( Mr . O"Council ?) presence ho told him he

      was a "liar f * and Sir Robert Ingjis neTer attempted to say it again . But Sir J . Graham had the andacity to repeat it , and in doing so was hal-Jeoed and applauded by an immense majority of the House of Commons that should continue u > make laws lor Ireland . { HtaT , hear . ) But Sir J . Graham wvnt so far as to say that irelsBd had sot enough , and conld gei no more , and boasted of haying granted her Catholic emancipation . Th 2 nk you for nothing , said the gaflypot . ( La ghter . ) Why it Tvas by meetings not oc © -tenth part so large , as the present that thl |* carTied on the struggle for Catholic emancipatin ; -meetings which were never so large , as to require to bo held in the open air , and which always took place in a public building . But what public

      bafldiag , he should like to know , wonid contain the number of people who had remained till that late hour to express their determination to obtain a Repeal of the Union ? ( Cheers . ) Catholic emancipation was bnt the fulfilment hva * entury and a half of the treaty of Limerick , which England , to her pternal disgrace , had atrociously violated . Sir J . Graham boasted of having giVen them Corporate Reform , and struck off ten bishops from the Protestant church . As for the measnre of retorro . it was an insult to Ireland ; and , with regard : o the bishops , he did not care how fvw or howjmany they were , so long as they kept tbe pay . It was no us-eto strike off the bishops unless the money was struck off also . Ho never wonid be satisfied so long as that badge of

      religious servitude remained which compelled the peyple at large , instead of the Protestants only , to support the Protestant church . Sir J . Graham said that cethiDg more should be conceded to Ireland . But he could tell them that there should , and that a Rfpcal of the Union must be conceded . ( Cheers . ) Mr . o'CoDuell then proceeded ; to enumerate the Tanous adTanta £ es which he said would accrue to the country from a Repeal of the Union—viz ., the abolition of the tithe rent-charge and the handing over of » bc temporalities of the Protestant church for tbe use of the nation at large 5 the repeal of the

      Poor Law ; Vote by Ballot ; tho extension of the Snffrage to every Householder , and to every Earned man , whether a hc&seholder or not ; and the bringing home of the absentees . In reference to this last he observed , that a Uonserrative gentleman in Ciare ( Sir . Jialony , of Kilcannon ) spen : £ 2 400 a year in wcges , and employed his men throe ghout the entire year . Now , he cared not if he were a CoHstrrat 76 or Orangeman , he wonid t-sy , thattast was : a good man , and he hoped ihat Gofl wculd prosper him here , and bless him hereafter—( cbeerb ) . Anorher advantage he aiiuded to wts fixitv of tenure . He had a list of

      lOSfsmiljes , venom a misbegotten Englishman named Wyndham , in the county of Ciare , had turned eff oue property . If th *> y b-d a fixity of tenure this ' would not happen . Lord CLancarty , he understood , had issued an order to his teaantry not to attend that meeting , peaceable and ioyalras is was . Fixity ; of tenure would prevent landlords from thus making ; serfs ot their tenants , and depriving them of every i fueling of icdepeBdt&c ? . Mr . St ^ Geerge * of Head- j fort , had , he unaerstood , acted iu : a similar manner —a man who had been deprived of the commission ) of the peace bj the Whigs and re-insttscd by the ' Tories . He was , moreover , informed that Lord . < 2 ar . carty compelled his Reman Catholic tenants to ' sead their children to Protestant school * ; and that '

      Tfrzs tbe man who put forward proclamations against t poijdcal meetings to petition Parifaaient 1 A Repeal _ of tbe Uiiion would very eoon put a bridle into that ' fUl&xr's Biouih , and it would be worth looking for on that account alone—( hear , hear ) . A Repeal o ! ths Union would remove the connty rates froiii the j tenant altogether , aDd enaUe Ireland to pay off btx shcre of the national debt in aboui five years . Was i tbf re a n » 2 n amongst them that would not undergo , fstigce . aad toii , snd labour , and even tieath to ob- . tain thu = eae vantages for his country ? ( Cheers ) Was

      th-. re a man amongst them that ¦ would cot risk his hit-, if necessary , to obtain th \ . m 1 Uitntwed cheers . ) i > ul he wanted nothing of the kind . All he waii'ed was , that they should pay one shilling ' each , and enrol themselves as associates , and that they should Jet him fcave 3 000 , 000 Repeali rs before he ftiveeeatd i © take his next step- Thty had the saDfaon and support , of iheir venerated b »> » - <> j > 5 aud 1 tne suointea priests of Go ^ , who wtula 1 < ¦ . lend him their cuuniesaace if they were vjoJatu g ine , iaw or -nitiraiing to immorality . .

      hopes . Do not tahe it ill . I htwe no aesire to Impeaah O'Connell ; but still I have a right to caution you ! against all possible chance of the Repeal question being put in abeyanee , as formerly . It will be remembered that lhe case Is widely different betwixt the Irish seekiBg for Catholic Emancipation , and setkfng fora Repeal of the Union . The first of these you obtained , bnt not as frequently erroneously stated , ] by iHihvnHJAL Ikish agitation , nor indeed without Jheio ^ operation of the people " of Great Britain . In the case of Emancipation , those who were even opposediby prejudices were easily won to your opinions ^ from the knowledge , that if even you were successful , it wculd not hezard their interests , , 80 long i as it did not confer tho chance of decreasing

      their majorities in the housei of Parliament ; and which according to the Actot Union could not , at least imniediately , take place . BesideB interested , and consequently prejudiced , parties saw that by emancipating the Irish , they also gained an advantage by dispoastiksing the forty shilling freeholders of the franchise . This deprivation v ?« s fully an equivalent for the boon you received ; for the Government by that means increased their own Btrength by lopping off a 'Vital member from your body politic . How can I see that the Emancipation . ~ was in realicy no benefit at all ? For two simple reasons—first , MnA you bad no security for its periuanency , so Icng as it conferred no further political privileges than the right of Catholics to sit in ( a minority ) in the houses of Parliament ; and , secondly , because

      only ; a very small ponion of the Irish people have derived any advantage whatever from its existence , and because any me&Bure to be good bbould be beneficial to all alike without distinction of persons ? To explain this , ; I will suppose Mr . Lane Fox would , as he threatended , bring in a bill , say to-morrow , for a repeal of the Act of Emancipation ; what earthly means would yon have to prevent it htinR carried in the prestnt Parliament ? What political strength or influence have yon to oppose , in case bucd a circumstance were to occur ? The chances aro entirely against you ; for I bavelittie doubt the Tories would not besitate to enslave yon : ; nor could you depefid on the Whigs ; for should they even vote in your favour , it would be only for the purpose of whetdline themselves Into your

      confidence as heretofore , and , following in their former footsteps , coerce you for your kindness . I have no hesitation in statinj ; that it is my firm conviction that the Whigs confidently hepe to benefit by the present agitation for Repeal ; and , if you will only examine for yourselves , you will , I am certain , he convinced of its truth . In an article of the Weekly Dispatch newspaper of the 17 th instant . Lord John Russell is made to boast of the amount of confidence reposed iu his , the Whig , party , by the Irish ; and fuitber states that all the good (?) done in ten years by the Whigs , has been destroyed by only as many ^ months of aTory Administration ; and adds for hia ( the Jiispaleh ) part , that he believes tbe Repeal agitation is may a means to coerce the Government , as it is

      the last thing he would think of , or the Irish rtquire , or actually hope to obtain . Now , what is all this tantamount to ? Why , virtually to prepare tho frish mind to receive the intelligonco that ere long the Repe . tl will be placed in abeyance , and '' jrstice to Ireland" henceforth administered . This am «> nly bo obtained by a union of the Irish -with tbe Liberal or Whig party . In proof Of this . I would <* ? aw your attention to tho fact ., thfct whilst in office tho Whigs forgot their pledges to do you justice ; but no" # they meanly boast of favours done you , which you never rfceived at their hands . Thoy can cry ont like political hypocrites ( as thf-y are ) against the introduction of au Arms Bill for Ireland , find forget that it ¦ vraa one of the favours which they themselves gave you in return for your services ; and that it waa they who furnished Sir Robert Peel with the opportunity to beard even the Imh members ¦ with

      inconsistency for crying out against a measure brought In under the sanction of a Tory administration , to which under a Whic * government they offered only a mere passive resistance , and even in many instances supported . This , and ( -without meaning any offence ) tbo display of nanu-s aud personages who b&ve ever been known as Whigs { or nick-named Liberals ) who grace the pages and swell the ranks of the Repealers , looks ominous for poor Ireland becoming again the dupe and victim of Whigliu ^ pbilsnthropby . If , then , Emancipation was obtained by the co-operation of the English , aud for the reason I have assigned , the question of the Reform had also its support frcm another but % more imtresiwi motive on the part of tbe middle classes , who , it will be remembered , never yet cordially agreed , or « ver wisned for any connection with the people , save when they used them as a means to accomplish some political scheme for their own aeerandisement .

      Tho Reform Bill was carried in tbe flsce of Tory opposition ; . but did it benefit those whom it pretended it would benefit ? No : for if it had , the firtt fruits of Irish interference would not have been tbe Coercion Bill , which emanated from the Whigs ; nor the introduction of the present unpopular and accursed Pour Lti- ? rs amongst you . You cannot , therefore , flitter yourselves that if Emancipation and Reform wore carried against a Tory Government , tLat Repeal will also bb carried on the same pnncipie , aud by tbe aanie means .

      In the former cases I have shown you that tbe middle clasps either saw their uuiou with the people would iioi injure them , or tnut it waa their interest to use ibem as too \ s to tnrtber their own purposes . Bn » iB the case of Repeal yon can have no soch hope , cave from One sordid cl .-us ; and they axu those who hope to reap a rich reward for their services , and who niTer obtrude thtmselv ' . s upon public notice pave to givo wariiing that a day of rapine and plunder 1 b at band . I will be plain to tell you , you cannot txpect to recti-ye middlb-class sympathy in favour cf Repeal . You can have no such hope from that quarter , as they firmly believe the Uciou means a drawback on their intertsta .

      and . generally ppeaktag a separation of countries . Nor can you' rtmove their prejudices ; self-interest blinds them tojour re »! motivta , and hardens their hearts to your sufivrings . Your only hope ia in the poor , toilworn , persecuted , unpurchasable , and invincible working classes ; and those your true friends , who have already given the world a proof of their power by the destruction of the Whig faction , and who have compelled a Tory government to acknowledge their claims for equal representation to be just , and who have in the spirit of generous sympathy for your wrongs , evinced a noble determination to assist you against your oppressors , you have ( to speak mildly ) unwisely rejected .

      As on 'Irishman , and one who loves bis country as his life , whose only hopo is in her welfare , and whose greatest . grief would be her ruin , I protest against the motive , whatever it may be , which could peril the cause which you advocate by rejecting in time of need the only frieinls and support wb . ch you can possibly hope to aid you in your struggle far national independence . But it is possible you may yet see when too late that such a rejection has betn a fatal error ; you may also learn that English Chartiits are not actuated by lnerci-1 \ air motives , but would have assisted you into the of be

      ht ^ ven political repose which will xibver your lot urn"il Sou . assume the right to think aud judge for yourseiv .

      Mr .

      On tbe S-h of June Mr . T . w : u brought into Caurt , and pleaded " n ¦¦ > % « u ) Uy ; " anil then moved tbe Conrt to bind the ptosecutor over to prosecute , and to let him ( Mr . T ) out of ; custody , either on his own recognizance , or upan giving such bail as he could procure . Ho urged upon tho Court ' s consideration tbe long time he had remained in prison without trial and conviction of a jury—his perfect readiness at all times , since his imprisonment , to go to trial , and bis unceasing anxiety for an opportunity to establish bis entire freedom from guilt , and bis innocence of the crime charged against bun , and referred to the Act of Paaliament ( 48 Geo 3 rd , 68 ) under the authority of which the warra-t had been granted upon which he had been apprehended ; and which Att directs , that "in case a defendant

      charged by ludictment for any offence ( not being treason or felony ) shall neglect or r fuso to give bail for his appearance , the Jud « e shall commit him to prison , there to remain until he shftll give bail , or shall be discharged by order of the said Court in term lime , or of one of the Judges in vacation ; " which Act , he maintained , gave the Judge power to discharge him , and particularly in a easo like the pix-sent , where the prosecutor had so long negledted to bring the case to trial . He also maintained that the Judges of the Queen ' s Bench could , in tbe exercise of that pewer which they enjoyed at common law , as well as by the above and other Statutes , admit him to bail in Fuch sum only as be could procure ; for the Act of WiUiam and Mary deciures it to be an efiimco auaiuBt the li '^ rty of the

      subject to dt » mand excessive bail , being in effect a denial of tait altogeltter . The Learned Jui- ! # e , however , iu vry humane language , informed Mr . T . he could not compel hit ) prosecutor to go on , and that he had hirag ' -lf to W-iuie for his long imprisonment , for be might have given bail long aeo , and recouiifHiniied him to apply to a Ju ^ yi at cb < init > bt 3 with the best bail he couht obtain . : > u that a poor maa in prison is presuiucd to be in his oun ciif-t'idy , wb «* n he cannot , obtain bail , and bis prosecutor reiuses to bring him to trial . As I have already Htateti , Mr . T . ia unable to procure bail , and be remains in prison-, virbout trial and .

      conviction . X 6 l * i under sircumstiinces tvtn of clear guilt , is a uardstiip , heca « i « iuijiriconjneiit before trial is seldom taken into account in apportioning punishment afur conviction ; but in tue puaent cose , if it be true that the accused is prepared to establish , by the clearest and most unimpeachable evirW . ce , bis innocence , it amounts to a great practical cruelty io the individual It i » hardly possible to account tor the seemmg diflfcrence which exists in tte adrnmiBfratipn of criminal iaw at the Central Criminal Cuuit from that in practice in the Queen ' s Beoch , the hiiihest Court of criminal justice in England . Few persons have any knowledge of that diffcirencn .

      At tbe Central Crimin » l Court , prisoners who are not tried and convicted or acquitted , are discharged by proclamation at the end of each S ^ slons ; and hud Mr . T . beeu indicted in that Court , u- - \ contiuitttd to Newgate in January last , he miuft have bf-en tried or discharged before " the expiration ^ of five weeka . He has nuw been impriaoDed five months , owing to the difference of practice ia the Queen ' s Bench ; and uuiier n » circumstances can he n « w be brou »; Lt to trial before November ; so that the practice of the Court of Queen ' s Bench is is a premium on persecution . It ia impysmble to sey whether , when the presmutof preferred bis m-

      di ' ctn : ent in tht- Qu u en ' s Bench , he cotitcmplated tho posiibility of the nctused beiaf ; ki pt so long in prison without a conviction ; but it is a fact that cannoi btj denied , that if the pro * etutor had waited from ( he Saturday when he procured a " true bill" acainst Mr . T . in tho Queen's BoDch , until the following Monday morning , a period of less than forty-ei ^ ht hours , h « might have indicted him at the Central Criminal Court ; and in that ewe , as I haw above shown , Mr . T . must have been leva bi ; o breughtta trial . Suruly the Judvesof tbe Court of Queers Bench will no lorger allow them-Eelves to remain tbe instruments of injustice for the gratification of malice !

      It Is crupl in the extreme to charge a man with such a grove offence as that of petj-vry ; which ia not leas dangerous to the welfare of socii-ty than it is detestable in its nature , ) and not allow him to prove bis innocence . Home men ( and it is not by any means an impossible supposition ) possess such weak minds , and dread the anxiety of delay and attendant misery of imprisonment so much , that rather than be confined for an indefinite period , they would plead guilty , though such pleu were a \ ii' : nifo .-t falsehood , in order , at a dis

      tant period , to be able to reckon w » th certainty on their restoration to liberty ; for tbe tew takes no trouble , in such cases , to ascertain the truth of tbe accused ' s plea—it only concerns itself with a prisoner ' s guilt . It fee be Innocent , aud thinks proper to say otherwise , the law will presume he is fruilty , hottrever impossible it may appear that be could have commit tod the crime imputed to him . The danger arising from such a proceeding , to the interests cf third parties , fs too obvious to require more than a passing remark .

      It is true , and it is all that can be e » id in excuse for the grievance in question , tbut an iiinment man , if wrongfully accused , may , upon the acquittal of a jury , maintain an action for a ntulicions prosecution ; but that is a remedy accessible only to a rich man . A poor man would look with horror at tbe prospect of liti-K * liT > g a suit at law . Tber © are few nun who have ever embarked in sueb . an enterprise , that have not regretted their folly ? for a veiHict ih not aiways u gam —it ia often a loss to the successful party , and the entire rnin of his opponent . In a cine like tbe present , it becomes a sulycet for the unions consideration of tboso interested in such matters , how fa * it may not be possible to- Bubrtue ft man ' s sj > irit into a false acknowledgment of guilt , and thereby ii < fl ct an irreparable injury upon the aUuiiul ^ lration of juetice . .

      In this particular case , perhaps some guarantee against such a calamity may be found iu the character of Mr . T ., whose free , and ivppartut ' y candid communications , induce the belief that when ho protests hitt innocence , he is prepared to prove it ; and those who abhor tyranny for lyra ny's sake , will , doubtless , cot withhold their sympathy from biro . We know that he contrives to support himself on the prison allowance , with the aid of some tr . flicg gifts , of a few , shillings from sympathising friends ; and bh wife , who is an accomplished and amiable woman , shares bis captivity .

      : Thia prisoner is denied justice because he is poor . That poverty Is manifest , when he is supported out of the county money "; still , bail is demanded . Thus , English Judges are , by finch ' Court practice , " more unjust than Shylock .

      Brougham upon Lord Aberdeen—principally for having on tbe previous evening declined to consent to any further postponement of his measure upon the Scotch Church , notwithstanding tbat Lord Brougham was obliged by indisposition to be absent—but partly also because he ( Lord Aberdeen ) was not then present in his place to receive iu person the objuraRation Lord Brougham had in store for him . He denounced tbe Scotch Church Bill as ftn insult passed upon the English Chancellors for the purpose of giving self-importance to the Scotch Judges ; aud after complaining passionately of Lord Aberdeen's absence , gave notice that ; en Thursday he would again bring forward tbe suH . ct .

      ; Lord Haddington endeavoured to defend his absent colleague ; but succeeded only in drawing down upon him afresh and more Violent storm of vituperation .

Tbo account of this impost now levied was only between £ 11 . 000 and £ 12 , 000 ;! but this was a subject in which conscience was concerned , and it was a fair argument far relieving our neighbours' consciences , that the relief could bo given at ajsmall sacrifice .
