GREAT "RTvPKAT- DEMONSTRATION OF THE TRADES OP BUBLItf . ¦ DcBin ? , JcLT 3 . The most extraordinary popular demonstration erer "witnessed In this city took place to-day , on the occasion of the meeting of the tradesmen of Dublin iopetilionfor a liepeal of the Legislative Union ; Erom the : early itonr of e '^ ht o ' clock the streets "were&TOiiicedhjmnBitndBS anxious to witness the "various trades ijroceeding to the plaoe of rendezvous , file beaatlfnl village of Phibsborougb , in thenothern suburbs . 3 aeb . of the trades , headed by its temperance band , marched pro » ndtw » , and , in Borne instances , four abreast , wife the utmost precision and
regularity ,-fee lasds playing "Patrick ' s Day , " "Garryowen ; " "God save the Queen , ** Sefithe Conquering Hero comes , " and otner popular airs . The men composing the trade processions were jtenex&llj -e&nfort&bl ; dressed , and exhibited ^ Tery el ^ n ]/ and creditable appearance . One "very numerous procession , that of the coal * porters , did not go to the place of rendezvous , but proceeded at once to the place of meeting , the celebrated feSr-green of Donnjbrook , -which they entered abont eleven o ' clock , beaded by a band of thirty uraaci&ns , playing ** 2 ? ix my DoHyP * They were received by the great crowd already assembled on ihe green -with loud cheering .
Abont half-past ten o ' clock the following trades iad assembled at PhibsboroDgh : Tobacconists , ship"Wrights , -coopers , saddlers , bakers , eoachmakers , woollen operatives , batters , tanners , silk and tabinet "Weavers , brass founders , tailors , stone cutters , hosiers , bricklayers , cartwrights , house -painters , curriers , spade and shovel makers , ropemakers , stncco plasterers , sawyers , cabinet makers , poulterers , musical-instrument makers , boot and shoemakers , basiet makerSj mbrer chasers , paper stainers , slaters , ribbon "weavers , butcisrs , chandlers , skinners a » a parchment makers , carpenters , honse smiths , brogue makers , tin-plate -workers , borse sheers , machine ¦ KTBithB , -f thJBTT Tfttk \( fTH .
About half-past den-en o ' clock the grand movement from Phibsborougb commenced , and the trades , with iheir vaxions bands playing , proceeded across Blacquierre-bridge into Eccles-street , through Upper Dorset-street , Bolton-street , Capel-street , « ver Essex-bridge , through Dame-street , ( which was most densely crowded , especially towards the bill adjoining the castle of Dublin ) , College ^ green ( where deafeijing cheers were given opposite the Bank of Ireland ); next the procession passed into Grattonstreet , Nassau-street , Glare-street , and Merrion-£ truare » In ihl 3 splendid square an immense multitude was assembled on the arrival of the profession , sad great numbers tytre forced to pass by a different route towards Donnvbrook . The procession passed
on the south side of the square , and drew up in as . good order as the pressure of ihe multitude would allow , opposite the residence of Mr . O'ConnelL Here the scene was really & most - extraordinary manifestation of enthusiasm . Mr . -O'Connell , accompanied by some ladies and other members of bis family , appeared on the balcony in front , whilst the lands struck up "See the Conquering Hero comes , " and the multiaide cheered ¦ witn a degree « f animation and heartiness which I never saw equalled at sny popular exhibition . Mr . O'Connell acknowledged the greetings of the people by eloquent gestures , bnt I was not near enough to obsene whether lie addressed the multitude . I learned that Dr . Hughes , Boman CatholieBishop of New York ,-was amongst those who stood upon the balcony , beside
Hr . 0 ^ onnelL Abont two o ' clock the first part of the procession leached Donnybrook , and the Tarions trades . eame in lapidly from that hour , and took up their stations on the Extensive fair-green . The number of tradesmen alone in the procession , I understand , was 17 , 280 . This was independent of the general population of the city and neighbouring counties , who flocked to this meeting . At three o ' clock ihe « nftre of the trades Lad entered the green , which "was then crowded by a multitude of immense amount , the-bands playing lively airs , and the people waiting with . anxiety for the arrival of Mr . O'Connell . 1 have heard various estimates of the zrambeis present . Some gentlemen on the platform who had been down at the Athione and Skibereen demonstrations , stated that the multitude here was much more nnmerons than at either .
Tb » Evening Mail estimates the numbers at * considerably over one hundred thousand persons "; bni other calculations make It double thai number . There Tvas a great number of iorsemBn , farmers , and others frem the neighbouring counties . The fair-green , containing , I should suppose , about £ fieen acres , was . crowded , as well as the load adjacent , and part of the Tillage . 'The multitude , notwithstanding its immense extent , was perfectly tranquil and orderly throughout the proceedings . At half-past three o ' clock , a tremendons cheer announced the approach of Mr . O'Connell , who catered the green seated upon the dickey of his carriage , accompanied by Mr . Steele . As the honourable gentleman mads his way towards Ihe platform , -which was a work of some difficulty , the people cheered with great enthusiasm , and when £ e appeared upon it , there was a renewal of the
acclamation . Mr . Jobs G'Cohheh , MJ * ., having been called to the chair , said be bad not words to express bis admiration of this magnificent meeting . It was needless to Bay that it would require mind and leart strong as the mighty demonstration itself , T ? ben in Irishman looked round upon snch a great meeting . After snch a demonstration , it * was impossible to doibt that Repeal "would soon be obtained . He exhorted the Immense multitude to preserve order , although no advice on that score tr&s necessary upon this , occasion . The spot on "Which ikey were assembled teas formerly remarkable for scenes of disorder ; this day it was the scen& . of a great peaceful triumph—tlond cheers ) . The ffrrawm iead a letter from Dr . Blake , Bishop of Dromore , apologising fox his absence , but expressing bia bearty approbation of ihe objects of file meeting . Mr , Hixet read similar letters from the Bishop of Ardagh and Lord Ffrench .
Mr . Petke Hughes came forward to move the first resolution , — " Thai the malignity evinced towards Ireland by the present Cabinet , who direct our august Sovereign , and who have coupled her 3 tayal name with threats against our beloved country , has not , nor shall not , shake our confidence in our beloved Queen Victoria , and should that 3 toyal Iiady require ihe serrices of her Irish subjects on any emergency whatever , -none amongst that loyal people would be found more ready to shed the last drop of their blood , if necessary , in defence of her Royal person and throne , than the tradesmen of the ancient and loyal city of Dublin . " Mr ; Whixb < woollen operative ) seconded the zcsolniion .
Mr . Etsss ? Gbattah presented Wrnwflf amidst great oheenng . He had always been attached to the tradesmen of Dublin . —( applause ) , fie bad come to support bis countrymen , and the more immediate cause of bis coming was the words of Sir James Graham acd the acts of the House of Commons . He . could do no good in the English Parliament , and , therefore , he bad comB to do what he could in Ireland . The illnister would take from the Crown the brightest jewel in it—tie emerald . He believed that : the people would soon bring down the Tory Ministry , who bated fee people of Ireland and their religion . TheSepeal of the Union was the only remedy for the erife of Ireland . He understood there were some gentlemen from the English papers present , and he loped they would leport ¦ wh at they saw and heard , and not give such short reports a 3 they did of Irish proceedings in the House of Commons . He had seen a debate wMeb lasted several hours put into -fourteen or fifteen lines

( Cheers . ) Taewords traitors and perjurerswerc misapplied when directed against the people-of Ireland i but they would prove their loyalty . ( Chetis . } He could louse their passions if be choose to repeat the words of some of "their eminent pafaijjs- but lie abstained and lade ihem attend to iha advice of their leader . Were the "Rngfishmpn to put a brand on their foreheads as well as upon their-arms ! Never . ( Loud cheers . ) A union could exist only on a footing of equality ^ but the "Ffogfofo and Scotch alone were favoured under thB existing arrangement . The Queen ' s name bad been used by a minister who had no authority for it . It was anie to show ihe Qieen that they were loyal , bnt on condition that they -were free . ( Loud ^ iheering . ) The resolution yraa adopted .
The CmTRTffHTj announced a . commnmeation from ihe Lord Mayor elect , expressing his regret at bis inability to attend , owing to absence from Dublin . . Mr . Mxbsjsos , chandler , proposed the next resolntibn , tothe efect that , up to the period of the Union , Ireland enjoyed the benefits domesu ^ legislation ; that Itis preposterous to suppose thai foreign legislation could promote the interests of the country ; and that , therefore , this meeting demanded a xestoration-of the Irish Parliament- ( Cheers . ) Johh Gsjms , Ehoe-maker , seconded the reso * luiaon .
The resolution passed . Mr . O'Coxskli then came forward , and , after the usual amount of cheering , said , —What a gorgeous Bight is iereJ What an awful assemblage i I have seen many mighty and majesfio assemblages , but it never happened to me to behold such an assemblage as I have coBgregated here to-day—( cheers ) . 2 To j it is impossible I could hars more power ; I have power enough , Tito only question is , how to wield it- ^ Chear ) .

at Connemara ; its voice is abroad in the wild winds of heaven— " Repeal of the Union and liberty "—{ cheers ' , "Old Ireland and liberty "—( cheers ) . Yes , theie never was such a national uprising ; such a simulianeoufl declaration of opinion ; each a manifestation of peaceable determination ; Buch a national resolve , recorded In the' presence of high heaven , announcing to the nations of the earth that Ireland shall be free , and the union shall be repealed—( cheers ) . All that is requisite Is to ' manage our strength ; let there be bo riol , no Tiolence , no tumult , no breach of the peace—( No , no" ) . We will exhibit sobriety , order , tranquUity—all crowned by immortal and imperishable determination—( cheers ) . We will have our country for ourselves
—( cheers ) . The English are beginning to perceive it ; the British Ministry are quailing before you . Wellington may attribute it to his old age ; I attribute it to ins despair . He threatened to go to war with us —( cheers ) . Peel came down to the House of Commons and cried ont— " the Queen was with them "—( eheera ) . Was there ever in the Mb * torj of the world anything so andaeions as the conduct of those two ministers —( hear , bear ) . We are looking for the Repeal of an Act of Parliament they themselves admit we are looking for it peaceably and quietly , and without the violation of any law ; and yet British constitutional \ Ministers-Ministers depending upon Parliamentary support , — not the Ministers of a despot to be appointed at the
will of the Sovereign alone , but Ministers having at least the name of popular Ministers—dare to talk of such a thing as civil war —( hear , hear ) . But they don't speak of it now . We took up the cry ; we declared that we would not go to war with them ; that we would observe the law ; that we would attack nobody ; but we hurled defianceat those who would attempt to attack us—( cheers)—and accordingly we have gained one victory . We have abashed Wellington and cowed Peel , and Sir James Graham , the man of many lies , and Stanley the maniac—( eheera and laughter ) . We have cowed , them . Poor Stanley , perhaps , being a mas that is touched in the head , and it is kind for him to be so , will have the andacity to think of going to war with / us ; but the rest of the ministry have too much good
sense—( hear , hear ) . We are loyal subjeots of , the Queen-God bless her ' —( cheers)—and we set jthe ministry that has her in thraldom and in chains at utter defiance—( cheers ) j and is it not worth ) our while to persevere —( hear , hear )? I was amused by the Times newspaper of Satnrday last—( bear , bear ) . A fellow lately published a poem in England , called the DemTs Walk , and he is rather busy in England jnst now—( laughter ) . He has jobs of hiB doing there ; he has something to do in Scotland , for the Scotch are a little vexed ; abd he has a trifle to do in Wales , where one fine evening , about a week ago , they threw a troop of dragoons over a bridge—( cheers ) . Those Welch fellows are clever in tearing out eyes —( laughter ) . This poem of &i&eviTs Walk described , amongst other tilings , the proprietor of die Times newspaper : — ¦
u The Devil saw the tears fall from Old Walter ' s eyes , ¦; * ' Because the Repealers with pikes don't rise "NotwiihstandiBghiB charges and calumnies . —( laughter ) . Noi what vexes them is , that we in * veterately keep the peace . Nothing frets them so much ; aid we are determined that nothing shall make us -violate ihepeace—( hear , hear ) . Poor seedy M'Namara , of the county Clare , was' never more determined to keep the peace than we are . He took his oath that he would drink nothing but water during the Clare election . His friends did not think that enough , and made him declare that would not strike any person , even if he were struck himself . A man who heard he was so sworn asked him , if he
were not going to vote against his landlord ! " I don ' t care for my landlord * Baid he . | " You are a rascal , " said the other , and strack him on the face . Yet he did nothing , bnt wiped his face ' and said , " I hare but two pigs in the world , and I will tell you what it is , I will sell one of those pigs and give you the price of it if yon give me a blow after the election ' is over—( laughter ) . Bat he took care not to accept his offer . Nothing vexes onr enemies so muchas our dogged perseverance to keep the peace . If you broke a pane of glass , if yon were guilty of the least riot , the divisional magistrates would have no objec * tion . to have yonnp before them the next morning . Hut yon will not gratify them—( cries of "Ho" ) . There is only one way to mortify the enemies of Ireland , and
that is , to remain determined , but to continue peaceable . I delight in the species of authority 1 have acquired over yoa , ani the readiness f with which I am obeyed ; and I account for it , not from any merits of mine , for I have no merits , bnt from ' the identity of feeling of all the people with me in this majestic straggle to make Ireland a nation again , and to strike down the dominion of tae | foe and the foreigner—( hear , hear ) . The Times' article , published only on Saturday last , begins 4 bus : —** On Monday , we understand , another of Mri O'Connell ' s monster meetings" , but it is not a monster of wickednest or vice , of drunkenness or riot—it is a monster in the purity of its morality , and the innocence of its conduct—in its forbearance from every bad passion ,
and in the moral sentiment that animates us to rally in ihe cause of our country , and calls upon us to rescue our people from poverty and distress , and raise them to prosperity and freedom —( cheers ) . I thank him for the phrase " monster ! meeting "—( cheers ) . The Tones goes on— "His hundreds of thousands are to meet in the Irish metropolis , to parade along the LifFey in front of the I Castle , and to disperse again or not , as Mr . O'Connell shall choose "—( hear , hear ) . Why , I choose they shall disperse as soon as the business is done ; bat they will not disperse until they shall testify that they would die to the last man , sooner than lire to be the slaves of any unjust law—^ cheers ) . [ The writer procees * 8—•* He , of course , will choose that it should
disperse peaceably . He would be an idiot , and he is none—fl am very much obliged ; to him}—( lan ^ bter)—if he did not continue the process of training his troops —{ they call you niy troopsJ—( cheers and laughter)—and threatening the peace of the country ( which I don't do ) -as long as he is allowed to do so in tranquillity" —( cries of hear , hear , hear ) . I am glad the ruffian admits that -we are ia a state of tranquility . ( Cheers ) . My trocpa are tranquil , and though they are able to fight they are unwilling to do so . They will never begin the contest . They are able to defend themselves if they are attacked , but they are too good and too virtnons to gratfy their enemies by commencing any contest . ( Cheers ) . I wish to meet
this newspaper on another point . They accuse me of not using arguments to the people , and only using abusive terms . They say , " We allow a demagogue professing and stimulating a barbarous hatred of our very name and blood , to muster and harrangue his myriads of deluded peasantry / ' I would be glad to know who began it . They are surprised at the animation of the Irish j people , and their determination no longer to snbmit to Saxon rule . I have here no less than six pages that I have extracted from ihe Times and other newspapers , consisting of abuse of the Irish people . ( Hear , hear . ) Allow me to tell yon what they call ns . They call ns a dirty race—a lazy race—superstitious beasts—brutes—savages , worse than the cannibals
of New Zealand . ( " Oh , oh **) . They jaccnBe ns of abusing them , and I am telling you the provocation we receive . They call us robbers , perjurers , assassins , wholesale murderers , and they call our clergy " sanguinary sconndreh ? , " " surpliced ruffians , " " assassins , and promoters of assassination by fire and with the knife , " " murderous brutal tyrants " B demon priesthood . " In The Tvmet alone of 1835 , I have selected these epithets applied to the ecclesiastical body of the people of Ireland : — " Pious terrorists , " "Popish ruffians , who disgrace the name of Christian ministers in Ireland , " " contrivers of savage and unprincipled machinations , " ** tyrants of a barbarian multitude— a rabbis who casnot comprehend the difference
between right and wrong , " " spiritnal tyrants leaguing themselves with the fierce passions of an idle , poor , and untaught , save i » so far as they are an ill-taught , multitnde , " " brutal autocrats , bearing the name of priests , " " wretched impostors who are neither christianB nor men of honour , " " the most absolute , selfish , coarse , and hateful tyrants that « ver oppressed the earth , " u isurplic 4 d ruffians , " " vulgar minded , shallow , and unprincipled quacks , " " atrociouB hypocrites , who . set at defiance every law . " I fling back with ineffable contempt and indignation the calumnies of our Saxon oppressors I proved , inconteatably , that the terms which they applied to ns were only applicable to themselves . I proved that our English rulers had been from tamB
immemorial sanguinary monsters" in their conduct to Ireland . I demonstrated this fact in my work upon Ireland and the Irish ; and what is more , I demonstrated it principally by the evidence of Protestant historians ; bnt before I engaged in mv task I thought it right to make the selection of specimens of Euglish eloquence which I have this day submitted to your notice . I iling back the calumnies of the Saxons to their teeth , and I have proved to demonstration that our oppressors are themselves what they wonld describe us to be . 1 ask them , has not the bread which they have cast upon the waters of bitterness come back to them with interest I Has not the seed which they have sown borne a plentiful harvest ! Have they not succeeded fin creating in this country a detestation of their tyrannical misrule ! Have thej not alienated the hearts , feelings ,
and sympathies of the Irish people —( hear , hear )? The hon . and learned gentleman proceeded to observe that ihe Irish people , in the glorious ( efforts which they were now making for the regeneration of their country , were cheered on and inspirited by the sympathy and good wishes of the wise and enlightened in every nation of the world . I All Europe was looking on with interest and admiration at the straggle in which they were now engaged . Nor JSttrope onlyi the story of Ireland ' s ! wrongs had oeen wafted to the uttermost bounds of the earththe Africans « ven on their sandy shores , had heard the names and Tead the achievements } of the Irish ieadtrs , and longed for men as faithful and as energeuc to point out for them- the path to happiness and liberty . ( Hear , hear , and loud cheers ) Need he tell them that the cause of the oppressed Irish

millions commanded the affectionate sympathy of their friends ; at the . other side of the Atlantic . ( Hear , hew . ) ' The heart of America was with them ! The Repeal Association would meet to-morrow , and he would then hand in the sum of £ 1 , 125 , which had been transmitted to the Repeal exchequer by the free , enlightened , and liberty-loving men of America . ( Prolonged cheers . ) Wellington would hear that with surprise , and crafty Peel would shrng his shoulders significantly on hearing the intelligence . : The Association Would devote one entire day to the reading of the American correspondence by which this splendid contribution had been accompanied , and efficient means should be taken to convince the Americans of the depth solidityand
, , sincerity of Iiish gratitude . ( Loud and continued cheers . ) His ' son had demonstrated to them by ingenious statistical calculations the ruinous results of the Act of Union upon the commerce and manufactures of Dublin ; but , 0 , how different would be the picture they , -would have to draw if to-morrow ' s snn were to rise upon the preparations for opening the Irish Parlian > ent House—our old house at homeandthat before his setting the Lords and Commons of Ireland were to assemble in full council within the halls of College-green —( hear , hear ) . If the day had arrived when he could address from the portal of the Irish HoiiBe o £ CommonB , and in the front of College-greeny the men whom he was now addresB ing upon the plains of Donnybroek , how glorious ,
how delightful would be the tale he would have to recount to the congregated trades of Dublin ! He would have to inform them that 120 princely mansions would be . required to be built , fitted up and furnished in a style of the most splendid magnificence ; that 390 houses would be required for the resident gentry , whose servants and establishments would be regularly maintained from year's end to year ' s end in Dublin ; and what an impulse vrould be given by this intelligence to our national industry , commerce , and manufactures . It would be next to impossible to pass through the streets in consequence of thevast number of splendid equipages whioh would continually be rolling through their city avenues . Grafton-streefc would hare to be widened :
Damestreet ( broad as it now was ) would have to be opened still farther ; pork-hill must be made a square of , Thomas-street would once more wear its ancient aspect of commercial opulence ; the busy hum of the shuttle would again resound in the now desolate and graes-oovered streets of the liberty , and the whole city would present that appearance of happiness , splendour , and substantial comfort which it wore before i the passing of the blighting act of Union—( tremendous cheers ) . The carpenters would be covered with their own chips , the slaters would be singing on the top of all the house-roofs , and the employers would be coming to the tradesmen , as was the wont in days of yore , with retaining fees of £ 5 or £ 10 , in order to secure the services of a
good workman for three or four months consecutively , Let them be but true to themselves—let them be but united and persevering , and success was inevitable . They bad already achieved a splendid viotory in their endeavour to assert and vindicate the principles of religious liberty—liberty of conscience ; and the Repeal movement had this great advantage over the Catholic emancipation movement , that , whereas it was the rich and influential who were principally , if not exclusively , benefited by the former , there was no clatS : in the community , however humble , that would not be permanently and inconceivably benefitied by the latter . He was now working for the people i it was into their cause that he had thrown his energies . It was a great cause—a noble
and heart-Btirring cause . The snows of age were 9 B his brow , yet he felt as though be received a freah accession of juvenile spirit and juvenile vigour when he reflected upon the magnitude and importance of the cause to which he had dedicated his energiesto which he had devoted the purpose of his life—( great cheers ); His heart bounded—his spirit exulted—he felt as though he trod upon air when he looked around him and found himself surrounded by myriads of bis countrymen who were resolved upon achieving the liberty and independence of their native country . He would take nothing short of Repeal-Repeal before everything ; Repeal ia preference to everything . This was what he was struggling for . Too long had he said that if England gave us justice he
would not look for Repeal ; but he now altered the tenor of his song . England has not the power of doing the Irish people justice otherwise than by the restoration of her native legislature ; for this was the only measure that could establish our commerce and manufactures upon a lasting basis . This alone could keep our rents at home ; this alone could give Ireland to the Irish and the Irish to Ireland . He did not care what England did—he was for Repeal —live or die—( immense cheering ) . There was a fool , in Kerry ! once ( where there were not many by the way ) who ; having found a hen ' s nest , watched till the old one Went away , and then laid hold of the eggs and commenced sucking them . When he was swallowing the first of them , the chicken that was
within , the egg squeaked as it went down his throat — " Ah , my lad , " said the fool , " jou spoke too late " —( loud laughter ) . Now , he ( Mr . O'Connell ) was no fool , he knew now to suck eggs ; but if England were now to tell us she would do justice , he would reply , like thejiool in Kerry , You spoke too late " —( loud cheers ) . Let England do justice to herself , and she would find she would have enough of business on her hands . The enemies of Repeal endeavoured to disprove the practicability of Repeal by arguing that the bill for the restoration of the Irish Parliament must , before it becomes law , be read three times tuocessively in the Lords and Commons of England . ; but this was a fallacy . They would not trouble the Lords and Commons . The Union
would be repealed without the Lords and Commons of England , and despite of them ; for the Queen ( whom Heaven preserve and bless ) had it in her power to issue ! her writs from , Chancery : forthwith the Irifh Parliament would start again into existence proprio visors . The Hon . and Learned Gentleman then repeated what he said in Galway respecting the power of the Queen to issue writs and convene an Irish Parliament , and directed the attention of the hearers to the faot , that when it was in contemplation to pass the Act of Union , Saurin , Bushe , Plunkett , and the most inveterate Tories of the day , declared that the Irish representatives had no legal right whatever to annihilate the Irish Senate , i They were seat into Parliament to
enact laws and not destroy legislatures . Mr . O'Connell . then proceeded to enumerate the various blessings which he alleged would flow from Repeal , and foremost amongst which he said were the abolition of the tithe-rent charge and the annihilation of Poor Laws for ever in Ireland . Fixity of tenure would also be accomplished—a measure whieh would put an end to the present atrocious system of reciprocal murders of landlords and tenants , tenants and landlords ;] and such a magical effect would the enactment of Repeal have upon our monetary interests , that our National Debt—which , properly speaking , was only £ 40 , 000 , 000—would be wiped away in five years , and
Ireland would , like Norway , be one of the most lightly taxed countries iu the world . He implored of them not to despair of the fortunes of their country . If the Irish people were but united—if they would but persevere unto the end , they would succeed is achieving their liberty and independence . While they pitied other nations they would rejoice in the glory of their own , for" The nations were falling , yet she was still young , Her sun was but rising while others had set , And though slavery ' s clouds o ' er her morning had hung , The full moon of freedom would beam round her yet . " :
The Hon . andLearned gentleman resumed his seat amid loud and general acclamations . Several resolutions , principally referring to the state of trade in Ireland , were moved and seconded by tradesmen j who addressed the meeting ia no measured language . They , together with the usual petition , having been adopted , the meeting separated shortly after six o ' clock , the trades returning as they came , though by different routes , in the order of prooession , wnh their banners flying and their bands playing .

« . PATAL DUEL . " An affair of Tumour , " as the barbarous practice of fighting a duel is termed , took place on Saturday last , in the neighbourhood of Camden-Town and Kentish-Town , between Lieutenant-Colonel D . L . Fawcett , ef the 55 th Foot , and his brother-in-law , Lieutenant Munroe , of the Royal Herse Guards ( Blue ) , which was attended with fatal results . It appears that about a quarter-past five o'clock , a police constable , who was on duty in Tottenham Courtroad , near the Camden-road Villas , observed two cabs , the first containing two gentlemen inside , and the second three gentleman , pass down ilalden-lane , ia the direction of Higbgate , About ten minutes afterwards
he was alarmed by hearing a single shot fired , and by seeing the two cabs return at a very speedy rate , with but three out oi the five gentlemen . Shortly afterwards , Lieutenant Colonel Fawcett was found lying in an adjoining field , where he had been shot Mr . George Gulliver , the surgeon of the Royal Horse Guards ( Blue ) , was standing by the side of the wounded gentleman . Colonel Fawcett was Immediately conveyed to the Camden Arms , where ho expired on Monday morning . The deceased was in his 40 th year , and be has left a widow and a young family . The ball had entered the nnfortunate gentleman ' s body on the right aide , passedlhrough the right lung , and had dropped into the intestines , in a similar manner to that in the ease of the late Mr . Drummond .
Colonel Fawcett ia reported to have distinctly stated to bis wife , before he died , that he had not fired At Lieutenant Monroe , nor did be intend to do so ; but Uiat the choice of fire oiling on the latter , he had scarcely taken hi « position before he was shot , and that all the other parties , whose tames he refused to give , with the exception of Mr . Gulliver , ran away on the in » font , ; An inquest was holden on Monday last , before Mr . Wakely , the coroner , when evidence was adduced to show that the deceased cad been found in the field adjoining Maiden-lane ; and that when asked what was

the matter , had warmly : retorted on the policemen . What is that to . you—it ia ; an accident ;*• and that he was removed from the place [ where be was found to the inn -where the body lay . Medical witnesses also detailed the cause of death , clearly showing that it was from the wound received by the pistol-shot There were no parties present to identify the deceased ; and it being necessary that steps sbonld be taken to apprehend those immediately concerned in the production of the death of the ! Colonel , the inquiry | was adjonroed to Thurday . Warrants have been made out for the apprehension of Liehtenant Munroe and the other parties concerned j but they have hitherto evaded detection , excepting Mr . Gulliver , who was taken into custody on the spot
whereitbe deceased was found , and who has been before the Maryleboae Police Magistrate , and held to bail , himself in £ 500 and two sureties in £ 250 each , to appear again . ' He promised the magistrates to attend the inquest on Monday , bnt failed to do so . The Coroner , therefore , issued a warrant for his apprehension ; but the efforts of the officers to execute it have not been of avail . He keeps out of the way , as does also Lientenant Munroe . The report is circulated that the latter has escaped to France ; but itis not believed . The general impression is that he is still in London ; and a number of the detective police are on the alert at the different wharfs from which foreign steamers depart .

TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR .
Dear Sir , —I write to inform you and the Chartists in general of the treatment I received at the hand of our would-be-Defence Fund Committee , when I received notice to appear- at the Court of Queen's Bench . I applied for money to take me to London , so that I should be there to receive the sentence of the Court , but I was told by the treasurer of the above fund ia Manchester , that they could not give me any , nor should he give me any . There's Dbmocracy for you l So you see I must be left without . But * they could find money for Leach and Doyle's expences bub neue for me . I should like to know the reason I why my expences shonld not be paid as well aa either Mr . Leach ' s or Mr . Doyle ' s . My liberty is as dear to me as either of theirs . What am I treated in this
manner for ? Is it for deserting the principles for which we are struggling ? No : that I defy aay one to say ; or to point to one single act of mine that will bear that out It ia , 1 think , for telling them my mind about a fortnight before ; so it is spite that has done it My friends , there cannot be a more bare-facced robbery of my rights , than the one referred to . On the Sunday night , previous to starting for London , the council of the Carpenters' Hall locality agreed that a collection should be made , the same to be divided equally between the Manchester victims : so that onethird of that collection belongs to me ; but lo and behold Mr . ———gets bis bands on it , and then he does as he thinks proper with it : bo he divides it betwixt Leach and Doyle , aud robs me of my right to one-third
of it iThis is democracy , is it I If this be the way our principles lead men to act , the sooner we have done with them the better ; but we all know they will not ? Well , after being served in this manner what was I to do ? I had no money—I had no work so as to earn it ; and what had I no work for ? for being a Chartist And more than that , I was not able for many months if I hail had any to do ,: through the Hall of Soienee row , when I bad my head as well as my arm broken ; and I am sorry to say the : arm never will be as it ought to be . I am crippled for life , and to be treated in this manner is rather too bad . So my friends you will see at at once what I was obliged to do . I am
sorry to say I was obliged to take my chest of tools to pledge for the money to bring me to London to receive the sentence of the court But we have not got so far as that yet ; we have to have another go for ] It . Then how am I to get to London , if I am wanted again ? You will bear in mind I have no more , cheats of tools . I cannot raise the money to defray my own ezpeuces , I was informed that if I did not appear , I should be liable to imprisonment for contempt of Court So What bad I to ( k > , but do aa I did . Nothing ; no means were left me . I anoaid not have thought bo much about it , if it had been done i by the ; great body of Chartists of Manchester . But for two or three who are not fit to be called men to
take so much upon theuwelveB , I neither can , nor will I stand It with impunity . I request the men of Manchester to look to It , and take their affairs into their own hands ; and then I im certain justice will be done to all . I remain , Yours iu the cause of democracy , ; Thomas Railton . London , Monday , May 15 , 1843 . [ Wejhave had this letter in type ever since the period
of its date ; but ; have witheld it lest it might injure the subscriptions to the Victim Fund . That fund being now closed , and accounted for , we think it no more than due to poor Railton , whom we deem an excellent Chartist , and a most ill-used man , that he should be allowed to tell his tale . There is no better Chartist than Thomas Railton . H « was crippled for life , poor fellow , I at the attack on the Chartists in the Hall of Science ; and as we think it hard that such a man shouid . be treated in the way bis letter describes . — Ed .

^ TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB , Sir , —I have read in the fifth page ef the Star , of lost , week , your letter to the people . I hope you will not fail to fulfil your promise . You say you will tell all about the facts which many don't knew , " connected [ with the strike , the outbreak , the Manchester Conference , aud the flinging- of the Chartists into the League-trap . " These things are what a discerning people should long since have known . For many years I have admired your advice to the people in the columns of the ( Northern Star . I never bad the pleasure of knowing you before the Conference of Delegates assembled inS Manchester , on the 16 th of August lost ; and I must confess ' that your counsel then was admirable , at a time , too , when the political' horizon -was clouded with
forthcoming events . I now wish , with alt my heart , that your advice hat ' , been then received . Some of us have fallen into ihe pit . we had so firmly resolved to avoid . Well Met us get out again , and quit it for ever I Let us from this day forward be more upon onr guard . Let us avoid the drones , who although they make more noise and are more eager to work than bees : make only wax and no honey . The strike commenced three miles from where I now live . I knew nothing whatever about it until all the mills in Hyde were stopped . The people assembled in the Market-place . I addressed myself to them . I advised them to avoid the
League . There was a resolution submitted to the meeting to [ the t ff ; ct that the Hyde people should go to Manchester the following day to stop the mills . I opposed the resolution ; but the people being desirous to go , 1 withdrew my oppostion ; and I said " I would sink or swim with the people . " The middle class-men called ' a meeting the following day , none to be admitted but bopocrats . I succeeded in gaini . ig admittance . A coachman to one ot the cotton lords was called to the cbairi j He proceeded to business . There was & resolu * tion proposed to the effect that they would support the " workeys , " on condition that the Charter should not be mentioned at any public meeting f
Now 1 wish my Chartist friends to understand that all the { men at thai meeting were Leaguers , and , by excluding the Charter , they intended to introduce the question of Corn Law Repeal . ; and thereby place Chartism in abeyance . I was on the look out 1 proposed the resolution passed by the-shopkeepers of Barnley , in May , 1842 . That pinned ) the knaves . They found out their mistake , and they left the meeting without coming to any definite plan . I bad before fought those men unceasingly ; and had succceeded in destroying the anti-Corn Law agitation here . There was not a vestage of it to be found , I had nailed the Chartiat flag to the mast , and had it fluttering in the breeze . of
My exertions brought upon- ^ e the vengeance the Whig magistrates . They sought to have me secured ; and on the 2 Oln of August , at the hour of twelve , the bloodhounds came to arrest me . I effected ay escape by going into a cellar , which was unnoticed by the Police . ! This saved me from the wrath of an Abinger . I then mode my way to Dublin , where I found a staff of Stirling and genuine Chaxtista . Their sympathy to ( me was without limit—not a wag of the lips , but \ he opening of their purses . I must return my most sincere thanks to the brave aud generous O'Higgins ; and also to the old champion , Mr . Baiter , and

to the generous Mr . Murphy , of Drogheda ; and in . fact to the Irish Chartists generally . There are more Chartists in Ireland than iha English Cbartists are aware of . My wife remained j three months after me in Hyde , in extreme misery and distress , unaided . Being desirous to see me , she sold her furniture for one-sixth of the cost , to defray the expenses of her journey . The Charter being foremost in my thoughts , caused me to return as soon as I could , at the expense of the Irish Universal Association . I bad to leave my wife and two children in Ireland , without means to support them . My former masters will not now employ me ; so I must be victimized ) I care nothing about myself , when compared with
the condition of my family . If this world has no charms for me , misfortune bos also lost its stings . I received a letter from my wife yesterday , and I do not know but before this reaches your office but that she may be the inmate of the Irish infernal bastile . I call aloud to the humane [ Chartists of Great Britain to help to restore me my family , and to prevent thorn from the horrors of the Irish poor-law . Hoping that a generous and sympathising people will respond to my call , 1 I am , One who has suffered , and yet has to suffer , because an uncompromising and unflinching Chartist , ' J . M .

-lj- _ ri _ i- -rf « n ^ u-v ^^ , - "" ' ¦« - ¦»—•^^^ 0 ^—~ - ~ VW , ,-ij— . " , -..- „ -j-, * . ^ . ^ ,,, REPEAL OF THE UNION AND THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER . Mr . O'Connor lectured upon these subjects on Monday evening , at the Social Hall , John-street , Tottenhara-Court-road . Shortly after eight o ' clock Mr . Large was called to the chair , and , in a neat and appropriate speech , introduced Mr . O'Connor , who was received with great applause . - . Mr . O'Connor qomnaenced by referring to his establishing , eight years back , the Great Radical Association . He received the Chairman ' s delicate , but well merited censure , that he had not been sufficiently among them since that period . His name had often been announced , but it had been without his consent ; aud jdiasappointment had been the
result . This , he trusted , would be guarded against in fiitsre . He rejoiced that the committee had chosen for the subject of his address , the two prominent subjects oi a Repeal of the Legislative Union with Ireland and the People ' s Charter . All other subjeots of agitation , when compared with these , were of minor importance . If they looked at the question of the Church of Scotland , the Education Bill , the battle between the agriculturists and the manufacturers , or any other question which occupied the public mind , they would see that they were not worth the slightest [ attention , nor likely to be pro * duotive of the slightest benefit to the working man . If they turned to the " Rebecca" agitation in Wales ,
of what benefit was it to them ? They had no horses to pay toll for—they did not complain of the low price of agricultural produce , for they had no land to grow it . The parties engaged in all these sectional agitations would join heart and soul to put [ down the Charter agitation and perpetuate the continuance of middle-class ascendancy . All their complaints were bottomed on class-interests ; and ] all tneir efforts directed to relieve those burdens which pressed peculiarly on themselves ; and ifj justice was done to them , it would be at the expense of injustice to the working men . They complained of excessive taxation ; but while the present system of legislation continued , the taxes taken off the shoulders of the middle-class
would be placed upon the shoulders of the workers . As long as the National Debt was kept up , a certain amount of taxes must be raised ; and as the workers were the weakest ( party they would have to make up any deficiency , j The middle- classs thought it hard to have to pay i three-and-a-half per cent for an Income Tax , ; but out of a revenue of £ 60 , 000 , 000 , before the imposition of the Income Tax , not more than £ 300 , 000 was paid by them in direct taxation . Ia looking round the room , he saw many Irishmen present . What had brought them to England ! Was it love to them 1 No . \ Was it hatred 1 No . It was the tyranny of the Union , which had caused upwards of 2 , 000 , 000 of Irishmen to nook to the British shores , many of them able-bodied men . He
would not mention ! a word about physical force ( cheers and laughter ); but it had brought them 2 , 000 , 000 able-bodied men which was a greater physical force than the whole British army . When they were weak , it might be well to talk of physical force ; but now they were strong , they despised it . The Times newspaper declared that the Repeal agitation must be bade treason . Mr . O'Connor then alluded to the ] conduct of the . Times in misrepresenting his speech at Manchester . He likewise spoke of Mr . S . Line Fox . He did not credit it that he was affected with the prevailing disease of monomania ; the probability was , that Mr . Fox being a great Yorkshire sportsman , had been bitten by one of hisfown dogs , and was afflicted with
hydrophobia . The Times asserted that Ireland had no grievances to complain of . It asserted the same of Wales until " Rebecca" opened its eyes ; and then it produced a long list of grievances , which it declared ought long ago to have been repealed . If the Times was so ignorant of the grievances in Wales , which was separated from England only by a tollbar , how could they expect it to be acquainted with those of Ireland , which wife separated by the sea ? Government was fast , teaching them , that nothing could be got by prayers and petitions . Any person who looked at jpast history would have ample confirmation of that truth . Mr . O'Connor then alluded to the Emancipation Act , which wrung from the fears of the Government what they denied
to justice . They refused to justice and common sense what they granted to the fear of the flame aud the dagger . The ensuing morning would witness the commemoration' of the achievement of American Independence—not jby moral but by physical force . ; and who could blame the Irish people for a similar conduct , if the ; should be forced into a civil war , or goaded into resistance ? They might rest assured neither the Iron Duke , nor Peel , would attempt to benefit the condition of Ireland , until the people in thunder demanded it , and it became dangerous to resist . Their Chairman bad asserted that he would not give a pin for the Repeal of the Union , unless accompanied by the j adoption of the People ' s Charter . Why was France , with a population of
fortytwo millions , satisfied with a less constituency than England with a population of thirty-three millions 1 It was because in England they had only the theory of . liberty , while in [ Franco they had it in practice . In France , they had no law of primogeniture , and they had ' fixity of tenure . " So long as the vote was vested in the land , and not in the man , as Catholic leases fell in , tjhey would be given , even at a lower rentage , J to Protestant voters ; but if the Repeal was accompanied by "fixity of tenure , " they wouldjthen let the ground to the highest bidder , whether Catholic man or Protestant voter . They were told thatilrishmen are either opposed to fhe Charter or don't understand it ;« t was all fudge . An Irishman could see as far into a stone wall as an Englishman . It was the feuds kept up by
interested parties , wh'ch [ made Irishmen stand aloof from the agitation . The ; had equal grievances to complain of in both countries ; and the same parties were the oppressors of been . He challenged them to look at the past ten years ! during which he had been the unpaid advocate of the working men , and point out on what day he had said a word , er what article he had written , calculated to create or perpetuate feuds between the two countries . In the year 1800 , if the National Debt had Been divided into fifteen parts , ' the result would hare been that only 2-fifteenths of it appertained to the share of Ireland , Had not England suffered from the Union , in having to maintain a large standing army and aa expensive Law Established Church } His countrymen had been told
not to pay much attention to his advocacy ot Repeal , as he was only a new convert . Why , iu 1823 he was compelled to leave his country for eighteen months , for writing a pamphlet in its favour . In 1833 , he so worked , that in the large county of Cork , which returned eight members , only one member was returned who was opposed to Repeal . Ia the first number of jthe Northern Star , he stated his determination io agitate in its favour . If he was a hasty convert show him the man whose blood jhad been shed as his had been . If they could show him the man who for twenty years had ! laboured harder for it than he bad , then he would allow him to be a better Repeater . He had always contended for "fixity of tenure . " In 1835 , when M . P ., he had put a notice of motion
on the books of the j House of Commons to accomplish that purpose ;] and after having struggled so long for it ; after haying aroused in both countries a prejudice against him by his determined adherence to it , was it to be supposed that he should now abandon it for any less measure of justice ? They were told that Ireland was being tilled with troops . Of what use were troops , when there was no one to fitht } or of cannon , when there was nothing to bombard \ His countrymen did not waut to light ; or if they did , it was with the" blue bottles , " and not with the soldiers : There was no doubt but that policemen were in that room , disguised with moiistachios , to report to Sir James Graham as well as their treacherous memories would allow . Let them report ; if they reported honestly , Graham would be a good deal wiser for it- Peel had repealed 750 Acts
of Parliament in one night . The Reform Bill was also a regular breaking up of all the laws of the State . Of the eight articles of the Legislative Union there was not one which had not been violated . The Act of Union settled IQO M . P . ' s as the portion for Ireland . The Reform Bill violated that , by giving her 105 . Another article settled a certain annual sum for education , not one tittle of which had ever been properly applied . Mr . O'Connor then showed how the other articles of { the Union had been abrogated , and < contended that ' the contract was null and void . He then alluded , in terms of high commendation , to the exertions of jFather Mathew . That apostle had appealed from Ireland drunk to Ireland sober . He highly adjured the course taken by that excellent man in refraining from introducing politics . He had sufficient confidence in Irish honesty and i
Untitled Article
Irish judgment to leave those questions in their own hands . Mr . O'Connor then dwelt on the prospect of affairs in Spain , and of the voice from across too Atlantic in favour of Repeal . He repudiated , ia strong terms , any idea of foreign interference in achieving their object . When Ireland was sufficiently united she was quite powerful enough to effect every change which she desired . She had also the sympathy of the 3 , 500 , 000 British hearts who petitioned in favour of Repeal , when she herself
was slumbering upon the measure . Mr . O'C . then demonstrated the Very different feeling uow existing in England in favour of Ireland and her rights , to what existed tea years back ; and concluded a brilliant and effective address , of which the above is Only a faint outline , by reiterating his determination to stand or fall by the People's Charter . Mr . Clark , in a very effective speech , moved a > vote of thanks to Mr . O'Connor for his past and present services , which was ably seconded by Mr ., James Cook , ana earned by aclamation .
Mr . O'Connob briefly acknowledged the compliment , alluded to his establishing , eight years previous , the MaryIebone Radical Association ; and stated that during the two years he was on the committee , he was never absent from his duty . The time was now approaching when similar strenuous exertions would be necessary ; for poverty was driving the middle classes to contend for the same rights which the working classes were actuated by principle in contending for . Mr . O'C . Bat down loudly cheered . The meeting place was densely crowded , especially in the galleries . The charge for admission Was one penuy to the hall , twopence to the gallery , and threepence to the platform .
