IRELAND Draws. Fro. 21. The meeting held yesterday at the Rotunda , to petition against the Ec'elesia.stical Titles Bill,.was by much the most important popular demonstration on the subject which has vet been made in Ireland. The meeting was nominally composed of the Roman catholic' inhabitants of the parishes of St. Marv. St. George, and St. Thomas, connected with the Homan catholic metropolitan church, but the people assem bled from all parts of Dublin and a great many pro teatanta were also present and tonic part in the pro cceelin;.rs. The chair was occupied by Mr. It. Kelly, town councillor, and among M those on theattan, platform were the Fir , of Milltown, r. H. G r .Y., l Anhiltscon Hamilton, Mr. J. M. Cantwell, e. The Earl of Milltown, who, on entering the room was ived with loud cheers, begged leave to explain why, la s ing neither a catholic nor a parishioner of the parishes named in the requisition, he had at tended that meeting. lie had seised no the first opportunity of taming over to attend it, in order to protest, a. an Irebmien, against that which be felt would be most injurious to hi. country. (" Hear, hear," and cheer.) Ile attended a. a protestant and a Christian, to protest against an set which he felt would ho meat injurious to it—which would rontmeert a downs dist was preached to the members of both his faith sad their% and which would peen nt the feeling that should tint on earth of peace and good sill attempt non. Although it might render him unpopular for the moment, he mOotainevl that the extension of the hill to which he re ferred to Inland was unwise, unjust, and uncalled for. (Hear, bear.) It was unjust, because whatever *acme there might have been for it in England, where, raised by what influence be would not now stop to inquire, an outcry and an evi.r.v.ion of surprise had certainly oceurnvl at an net ..thshiniinin! which for a lone period had been un known, or had lain dormant in England, there was at the shadow of an taco.. for extending it to this country, where those titles had long tabled—when their possessors had been openly erknowledged by the queen's ministers, and openly ramrod as suet. Hear, hear," and applause,) At what a moment hail this apple of diword been thrown amongst them? When their country was paralysed by calamity, her gentry ruined, and her inerehant. bankrupt. Wi re they to have throe terrible seem. of ri ligiou. discord renewed, which centuries of misrule hail encouraged among them' No, no. - 'l hi. measure must be std, by the people of In lan d spa coking through their representatives in parliament, who mint combine, and declare that no r, who would not do justice to Ireland should com mand the votes of the Irish members upon any occasion. (Apia:m.o The must remarkable feature in the proceedings of the meeting was the announcement made by Arch deacon lliunilton that Archbishop Murray was at I that moment preparing a pastoral to the ltoman ' catholic clergy of the archdiocese of Dublin, to be n•ael from the altars on Sunday next, culling on the • people "to pray against the persteution that was raised against them, and denouncing the nefarious bill yrivected by Lord John ltuaselL" The rev. gentleman said: That that was imeutially a lay meeting, but it had the fullest sanction of the clergy. He had just returned from the Archbishop of Dublin (chters); and 'refore that meeting and before the country he would call him the Archbishop of Dublin. (Cheers) Ile had not been made so by law, and the law routs' not unmake him. Ile was at that mo ment preparing a pastoral to be addrtmed to every cler gy:non in hi. ,hussar, calling upon the faithful people to pray against the perneeution that had been raised against them, and denouncing the nefarious bill that bad Mr n pro jected. lie had been the tint to more in this matter. The moment the Low was called for in England he stownibled his clergy to violent tigaiust the insult offered to their holy rcligton by the insulting letter of lord John Russell, and be was go ing now to address them to denounce the bill from every altar in the country. (loud cheers, and waving of hon.) He hops.' that that meeting would give a tone to those in every parish in Infand. Ile would tell the minis ter that if the no remit in question were extended to In land, the universal i oice of the country would, in the most constitatioual. but most iletermilool, manner, resist it. Several resolutions, conveying in strong language the sentiments of the meeting on the subject of the ministerial inenstirt. ' were adopted with acelamathm, and among the speakers by whom the assemblage was addressed were several barrister,' and members of the corporation. Mr../. M. Cantwell addressed the meeting at great length in a strain of animated eloquence. Thu meeting was also addressed by Mr. Grattan, M.l'. This morning the following . pastoral address from Archbishop Murray appeara in the columns of the Fr. rotates Journal. It is the docutnent the announce ment of whieli created considerable sensation at the meeting of yesterday.

DENNOI.-Acrtott FOR BREACH or PRO HISS or MAIMIACHL , Sir F. Thesiger, Q.C., and Mr. Mont a gu e Smith were '',counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Montagu Chambers, (LC., and Mr. Taped represented the defendant. This am an action brought by an attorney as the next ' friend of his daughter, who was under age, to recover corn ipensation in damages for breach of promise of marriage, i Sir F. Thesiger, in opening the case, said that actions of this description were never commenced without great nr , lactanoe, and without strong feelings existing in the minds lof those by whom the plaintiff was influenced, that an in , eeitable necessity existed for making such a delicate question the subject of public inquiry. But, in order to obtain re paration for a very serious injury, and to prevent any imputation being cast upon !dim Bianchi's character in respect of this matter, her friends had deemed it neces siu7 to brine the present action. lie (Sir F. Thesiger) would not endeavour to exaggerate the facts of the present can against the defendant, or to give greater effect to them than they really warranted. It would be enough for him, in the discharge of his duty, to give simply a narrative of the circumstances of this ease. The real pkuntiff in this action was a young lady in her twenty-first year. and was 'the daughter of a Mr. Busse% who for many years prac tised as a solicitor at Exeter, who had recently fallen into difficulties, having become involved by building specula tions, and thus reduced in circumstances. He had formerly lived in a large house, but owing to the alteration in his position had removed to a smaller house. The alteration in • r. Himself* circumstances led to an arrangement by which his daughter (Mine Bowen) went to take up her re sidence with • Mrs. Law, at Newport, near Barnstaple, Mrs. Law being a cousin of 'Miss Buseell'a. The defendant in the present action won a solicitor, in partnership with Mr. Green, in Austin-friars ; and at the time he made Miss Bussdll an offer of marriage was in the possession, as he was now, of between 1,1001. and 1;2001. a year entirely inde pendent of his profession. The defendant and Mine Brinell first became acquainted in the year 1848, having met at pub lic places and at balls and evening parties in Barnstaple. It appeared that the defendant took every importunity of allowing his preference for the plaintiff when he met leer. With the exception of meeting in public, these parties did not meet iu the presence of their relatives until 1850, when the plaintiff met him at the residence of her cousin, Mrs. Law; they met at • party. The defendant paid Miss, Busall the most marked attention; and whenever she walked out he threw himself in her way, and accompanied her and a relation of her's, a Miss Demai, in their walks. At this time the defendant wan not acquainted with Mrs. _ ..

With respect to damages, the defendant was in a position which enabled him to afford to pay, and this aggra vated the ease, as the plaintiff had been deprived of being. comfortably settled in life.

Bolklow and. Vaughan for railway iron. It appeared the defendant was anxious to raise a sum of money prior to the election of Ipswich, and with a view of doing so, he cutert into a contract with !dews. Bolklow and Vaughan for 8,000 tons of iron, at 91. 10s. per ton. Iron fell shortly at terwards in the market, and the bills had been given as a deposit of 21. per ton. The bills, with various other securi ties, were handed over to the plaintiff., who paid the Dar lington Bank (Messrs. 11.,ekhouse) 9,063/., the former re ceiving all securities, including the bills in question, from the bank. The principal question raised to-day was whether the bills had not been obtained from the defendant by fraud and coyin. The case occupied, the court from 10 o'clock a.m. till near 7 o'clock. The jury found for the defendant on the substantial issues. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YESTERDAY. Berme Ma. Comill.SONf 1 iiOULOYD. IN TIE BTRNI.—EMIORATION TO NATAL. This was the certificate meeting in the case of J. C. Byrne, described as an emigration agent, of Sun-court, Curnhill. Mr. Green, who represented the assignees, said he was instructed not to offer any opposition at all to the bank rupt's certificate le Mg granted. 'they thought that Mr Byrne had done all in his power with respect to the emigra tion, and that the entire fault was either with the local government or the government at home. There were cer tain grants of land which had been made at Natal by the bankrupt to the members of his family, and in the event of the estate turning out well, the assignees had no objeetion to thine being confirmed. The Commissioner—Han not mina information been re ceived from the colonies recently? Mr. Green—Not a line, 1 belieee. The Commissioner—l understood that some had come the other day from Natal ? Mr. Green—The official assignee has not had tiny. The Commissioner.—lt must be very mistrial to Mr. Byrne. The next mail might bring the certificates of lu cation of the emigrants, Mr. Green.—Nothing has arrived at present, but the se- cretat7 of the commissioners has promised to forward me the earliest information. Mr. Linklater, who supported the bankrupt's application, said that Mr. Ilalkett, the trade assignee, had authorised him to say that he was entirely satisfied with the conduct of the bankrupt, and concurred in his application that his honour would be pleased to grant him a certificate of the first elan. The assignees had shown no indisposition to in vestigate the affairs of the bankrupt. His Honour said that some allusion had been made to , the grants of land made by the bankrupt in the colony. : Mr. Linklater said it would he conceded that the bank rupt, up to the period when these grants were made, and indeed up to a very much more recent date, had every prospect not only of paying his creditors 20s. in' the pound, but. of making a very ample fortune for himself ; and being in that position, he had legally and morally the right to secure any . property' , which he might possess to those in whom he was interested. It appeared that having had a promise from Earl Grey of property of the value of 0,700/., and being in anticipation of that grant from government, as a bonus for the exer tions he had mule in promoting emigration to that colony, he had sent out directions to his agent, by various vessels, , to allot particular portions of land, not very large in quan- tag, in favour of his wife and children. The whole instruct; tions were that then allotments should not be made, except out of land so to be given as a bonus by the government. By the Washington the bankrupt sent out order, that 100 welt of land should be reserved for one of his children and 100 acres for another. Similar directions were sent out by the Dreadnought and other vessels for the allotment of small plots of land for his wife and other members of his family. The first four or five of these had gone out at a very early period, indeed, in 1840, at a time when the prospect of emigration were certainly most flattering, and the bankrupt being, as it were, under the fostering rare of the government, thought he hail secured a very ample provision for himself and for every member of his family. But for the very unlucky incident of the disturbance' , at Natal, tho bankrupt at that hour would have been in a po %Rhin to realise all the expectations he had formed. lie was quite willing to pleglge himself in any way which the court could suggest with respect to these grants, so that the property might be divided amongst his creditors. 'lite Commissioner—You are willing to put these lauds at the (Lavin' of the assignees ? Mr, Linklater—Quite to. The Commissioner—And I understand the, are not at all disposed to interfere with those grunts provided the estate turns out favourably ? Mr. Linklater said there were advieea from the colony is that morning's papers which were very flattering. The Commissioner—But no advises regarding this parti cular matter ? Mr. Linklater referred to the paper, and quoted the fol lowing statement:—" The accounts from Natal come down to the Gth of December. Wheat had been grown both near D'Urban and Fietermauritsburg. The government had laid out a new village in the Upper Umganie, end 23-acre lots had been sold by public sale at price, varying from 101. to 20/. per lot. The main street was on the road to the so vereignty, A number of householders had petitioned the resident magistrate at D'Urban to convene a public meet ing for the purpose of forming a municipality. Arranges meats had been effected for affording facilities to cotton growers. and ginning and packing would be done not only ut D'Urban, but also at the new villages of %'erulam, Rich mond, and l'inetown, and eventually at Pieterinauritzburg. The last of Mr. Byrne's emigrants (those by the Emily and the Devonian) were settling On an estate called Harmony, on the Illovo. The new village of Pinetowu was proceed ing favourably. and the price for sections (of 132 by 264 feet each), which had been selling at 20/., payable at periods extending to five years, had been fixed at the same value, payable in cash at six and 12 months." This showed the increasing prosperity of the colony. The Commissioner—The certifieates of their having located those emigrants may possibly have come by this very despatch. Mr. Linklater—No ; I think it would take some time before that could be done. The Commissioner—That seems to have been the cause of Mr. Byrne.' difficulties. Mr. Linklater—No doubt ; it locked up this 14,0001. The Commissioner—ls it all deposited ? Mr. Linklater—The whole of the 11,000/. The Commissioner—l have looked through the COrm spondenee bearing on this case, as contained in the par liamentary blue books ; and I collect from it that Mr. Byrne was a gentleman who has taken much interest and devoted much time and attention to the subject of national emigration. He had delivered lectures on the subject, in various parts of the country, and at a great expense to himself. I also find that he had a personal knowledge of the fertility and general adaptation of the district to the purpose of emigration, as he had visited the colony in 1843 or 1814 ; and he afterwards publisheda pamphletcontaining sonic valuable information thereon. Further, that he felt aatisa I tied that it was quite possible for him to divert a portion of the emigration which was going to the United States of America, of persons of small capital, to this interesting colony of Natal ; and that the proposal received the entire approval of the secretary of state for the colonies, Earl Grey. A very considerable sum of money was deposited here—as appeared by the balance-sheet, 14,0001. ; then, by an arrangement made, a certain portion wax to be returned upon certificates coming from the colony of the emigrants seat out by Mr. Byrne having been safely landed and located properly in the colony. And I understand the absence of those certificates is, in fact, the cause of the unfortunate • position in which Mr. Byrne now stands. Cer ' tsinly, it is a very melancholy thing to think that the tint endeavours of this gentleman to foster emigration to Natal should have ended in such misfortune to himself. At the same time, after what I have heard on the part of the assignees, and also from Mr. Linklater on the part of the bankrupt, I feel no difficulty whatever—on the contrary, I feel much pleasure, at its being in the power of the court to grant Mr. 'Byrne a certificate, as of the first dui; and I hope he may be enabled to recover from those [ difficulties, and to occupy that position which he might ! naturally have expected to attain through the undertaking —1 may call it almost the national undertaking—in which he had engaged on the part of the government. For the government were evidently very anxious to have this pro -1 ject carries! oat by individuals, as they could not allow any , sums to be awarded from the national treasury in aid of emigration; and it was only through the exertions of individuals that the colony of Natal was likely to receive a white population, for it appears, in fact, by this correspond ence, that at one time the anticipations of government of having it peopled wholly by Europeans were likely to be defeated, and there was every probability of a black popu lation entirely possessing the colony. Mr. Linklater—Mr. Byrne is very much indebted to your Honour ; and I have no doubt those observations will be of great benefit to him in after life. The Commissioner—Then I understand that as to the grants there will be some memorandum made, so that those grants may be at the disposal of the assignees ? Mr. Linklater—lf your Honour pleases, I will take care that such a memorandum is put on the proceedings. COMMISSION SIGNED BY THE LORD-LIErTENANT OF LANCASKIIIIL—Le Oendre Nichols& Starke, jun., Esq., to be deputy-lieutenant. —Goodie. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. THE POLICE AND THE PCHLIC.—Me. Wirium Gibbs. aged 20 years, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged , with having assaulted a police consult& upon duty. Alfred Waterman (policeman 477) said last night I was on duty at the fire which took place in En , teheap, and was stationed at the corner • of St. Mary-at-Hill, to keep the crowd off. I we. obliged to tap people on the hats to in duce them to let some females pees with goods from the fire, and amongst the Teat I* tapped this gentleman with my truncheon on the hat, but he made no wore to do when I tapped hint but struck me a blow in the face with his fist, and ran away. He and a friend of his had been on the spot all the evening, and I had spoken to them to keep back before I tapped him. It was not a blow. It made his hat rattle. I only just touched him. I follow, d mid took him into custody. The Lord Mayor did you know the gentleman ? Witness—No. Gi.rorge Barre (policeman 461), I was also stationed at the tire last night to keep the crowd back. It wan diffi cult to keep the people from obstructing the engines, and those who were employed to do duty on the spot. We were obliged to tap several on the hats, and I heard the blow which the defendant gave to the first witness. There were three or four young men jeering at the police. I am sure it was not a blow given by the witness to the defend ant, that I heard. I followed the witness, to take the defendant into custody. A gentleman who was with the defendant said, he was a friend of Mr. D. W. Harvey, the commissioner, and that he would make o complaint to that authority upon the subject. This was the ease for the prosecution. The defendant did not ask either of the witnesses a MONEY MARKET. [For this tirty's City News, see 6th page.] FicioAr ETENING.

Mr. William Barclay, surgeon-dentist, of Little Tower street, appeared as evidence for the defendant. Ile said the defendant is a personal friend of mine, and lives in George-lane, about 100 yards from the premises which were on fire. I was with him upon the °erasion alluded to. Mr. Gibbs, senior, his father, requested us to stay on the spot to protect his premises. as he had property there. The crowd was quiet. These officers hail been forcing the people back and two or three young men jeered at the emnpluinant, who appeared to be irritated. The defendant told the com plainant not to lose his temper, and the defendant then said, *• I'll mark you," or words to that effect, and struck hint a violent blow over the head with his truncheon. lam cer tain that the onkel' struck the defendant with all his force. The complainant—That's quite false. If 1 had struck him with all my force, he must have been severely injured. Mr. Barclay—ln my opinion you struck him with your whole force. Mr. 11. Stevens Gibbs, father of the defendant, said—l am a shipowner and insurance broker, and my address is No. 2, George-lane, Tower-street. My premises are in the immediate neighbourhood of the fire, and I requested that my son and Mr. Barclay would remain on the spot for the protection of the property. I went home when I found that the fire was declining, but I was surprised in a short time with the intelligence that my son was injured by a terrific blow from a policeman, and that he had been dragged to the station-house through the water. I then went and found him at the station-house. It was necessary to bathe his temples with vinegar, and to make other sooth ing applications, so that the blow he received must have been severe. A gentleman of the name of Simpson, who was present at the time, said the outrage was the most wanton he had ever seen. The Lord Mayor—The case before me is one of conside rable difficulty. I well know what the police have to encounter on emergencies of this kind: how bard it is fur them to perform their duty amidst the terrible bustle and confusion of a conflagration and, knowing that, I am exceedingly unwilling to condemn the proceedings they may consider necessary tube adopted for the preservation of private property and the public peace. At the same time I wish to impress upon them the necessity of being guided by the principle of forbearance upon occasions of strong excitement from whatever cause arising. I shall discharge the defendant, and send the whole cast to the emmnissioner to he investigated by him. Ido not say that the officer has exceeded his duty; but I certainly consider that he is I bound, for the sake of his own character, to convince the commissioner that he has not done so. and I consider too that it is due to the defendant that he should have the full opportunity of showing that the officer had acted unjustifi ably. Ihe ease will, it is presumed, immediately undergo investigation before Mr B. W. Harvey, the commissioner of the City police. A PROPERSIONAL IdeNnicarrr.—Sarah Mahony, a well known beggar, who has lately come from America, and uses crutches in the day, but manages to do without them when she is not observed by the police, was brought up, charged with having endeavoured to impose upon the re lieving officer of the City of London Union. She called, it was proved, at the house in Northumberland-alley, and asked for relief, declaring that she had not a farthing in the world ; but suspicion having been entertained of her sincerity, the female searcher of the Union went to work and found silver in the finger of one of her gloves, and halfpence concealed about her person in various parts of her dress. She was also proved to base a little before deceived other officers of the union. The defendant said she had brought the money from America, where she had .eft the hotly of her husband, who bad made her promise to convey it safe to Ireland, where she expected to go one of these days. 'the Lord Mayor—l think the sooner you go the better, and I shall send you to prison for fourteen days, and then ship you for your native country. Delendant—You can't do that your lordship, I am not able to go. I can't walk except upon crutches. The Lord Mayor—Oh, yes. I'll send you away after you shall have left Bridewell. You can take your crutches with you, but you won't want them to carry you. Defendant —'l'hey told me in America that;as my husband was is citizen of London, I had ny parish hen`, and I don't want to go, and I are sure I won't go. (Laughter.) The Lord Mayor—You shall go on board the moment you are discharged. The defendant was then moving down stairs, but his lord ship rolled her back and told her she had already forgotten her crutches, upon which she took them up, but seemed no longer to be in the least need of them.

The ono rnrrastre continues to perform well, and 21 days work has produced 120 oitavas of gold, 'equal to 3 6-10 oitavas per day • when the 12 arrastres are completed the profits will be augmented. In confirmation of the advices first given by us as to the concession of the tin mines in the Island of Billiton, near Hanka, to Prince henry of the Nether lands, we may state that Baron Tuijl van Seroosker ken and Mr. London have proceeded by the over land mail to India, to complete the necessary local arrangements with the Indian government, and begin the works. Under the concession to Prince Henry a company has been formed at Amsterdam, it being now the object of the Netherlands govern ment to reform their Indian administration, and to encourage private enterprise. There is no doubt about the existence of tin in Billiton, and as little about the abundance of ore, and the royalty is ar ranged at a hull and moderate rate per pieul of tin. In consequence of the extraordinary and con tinuous drought prevailing . for some months in the island of Bunko, the deliveries of tin have been af fected, and the total for the year 1830 will be 20,000 piculs under the estimated weight, which will not be without its influence on the eastern market. The produce of the Pengarou cool mines in the Dutch province of Benjurintessin in Borneo was, for the month of October, 1830, 329 tons. They are now regularly worked for the supply of the steamers and factories i n Netherlands India. The produce of the lionsberg silver mines in Swe den in 1850 was 17,476 marks 2 oz., and in 1849, 17,861 marks 1 ox. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOIL THE PAST WEEK.

LONDON PIIILANTRROPIC SOClETY.—Yesterday meeting of the committee of management of this institution, established in 1841, for providing the poor with bread and coals in all parts of the metropolis and suburbs, was held at their office in the Moira Chambers, 17, Ironmonger lane, Cheapside, for general business, and to adopt measures for the ensuing anniversary festival. The secretary's re rt stated that during the last two months nearly 8,111 tickets for 41be. loaves of bread and 661bs. weight of coals had been distributed, being a great increase over the corresponding period of any former year. The applications were daily increasing, and at the present period the funds were exhausted, and it was necessary to turn many very distressing cases away without relief. By the operations of the society bread and coal are distributed, free of every expense, contractors being appointed in all parts of the metropolis and its suburbs, to suit the convenience of the subscribers, who thus become the almoners of their own BIRMINGHAM, Feb. 21. bounty and in their own locality.
