At the afternoon sitting the proeeedinp were resumed, who Mr. Kvnu (Oldham) gave a lengthened narrative of his Mdasion with Mr. Leach to Ireland. and their retention by the council of the Irish Confederation. Though Mr. Smith O'Brien did not concur with the whole of the points con tained to the people's charter, lie sympathised with the char tist movement, as also did .ter. Mitcell, Mr. °avail Duffy, Mr. O'Higgins, and other leaders, a l l of whom expressed an unity of feeling with the chartist movement. Several ether delegates furnished reports in relation to the state, condition, and political teeling of their respective dies Vida, and at five o'clock the assembly adjourned. METROPOLITAN SEWAGE MANDRE COMPANY.- The halt-yearly ordinary general meeting of the share holders of this company took place at the company's OffiC4lll yeeterday. After the usual preliminary business, the se eretery read the report, in which the directors state that although by reason of the late crisis is the commercial world they retarded rather than hastened the progress of the works, they have however thought it best to begin with irrigating the market gardens and tiehle in the neighbourhood of Ful ham, end caused the aurmueding lands in that district to be surveyed. They have completed the purchase of the lend fbr the station They hare also bought two steam-engines. and contracted for a sufficient quantity of iron pipes, the whole of sant have fallen very considerably within the original ratimate. As yet the directors have made but two calls, which have been better met than under the circumstance- of the times could have been expected : many of the shareholders having availed themeelves of the prtudision given by the act of parliament to pay up the full amount of their therm. The present position of the company in relation to the commissioners of sewers is also explained in the report. The acts of incorpo ration having given to the company . power to take the sewage, subject to approval by the COIIIOI63IOIIOTS of sewers, the direc tors immediately made the required application to the com missioners, and obtained their approval. The workscontem plated a tunnel as part of the plan, and this the company was fully prepared to carry out, but the new commissioners of sewers, having referred the plans of the corn = to uk t e h n eir di s t irvTirs, vie a w n s d ho of th i e n r best z e o rt a ans by which the sewage could be conveyed to the comway's station, and both differing from the plan of the company, the directors had no wish to urge their own in preference to any other that may be suggested by the commisaionr ra, provided only that the object be attained of conveyance of the sewage to the company's station in the cheapest and most effectual manner, and, for that purpose, they will readily accede to Any arrangement which, without abandoning any right givin to them by their acts of incorporation, may at once advance the objects of the company and the interests of the public. The statement of receipts and payments, as audited, was then laid Were the meeting, from which it appeared that the receipts amounted to 14,8631. lOs , and the payments to 10,831/. I, , and that the total iiabili ties of the company amounted to 1 2,4311. Bs. Id., while their assets amounted to 21,0651. 101.91.. being a balance in favour of the company of upwards of 9,0001. After a short discus sion the report was adopted, and the meeting separated. FIRE AT POPLAR.-Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a fire broke out in the East India-road, Poplar, at 54, Rhin Hood-lane. The discovery was made by a con stable, who sounded the alarm, and after great trouble midis the inmates iensible of their danger. By the time that was accomplished the flames had made peat progress, and it was only by extreordinary exertions on the part of the police and inhabitants that the resideute were suabled to get out of the burning premises. Several engines arriving they were immediately set to work, but in spite of the vast quantity of water that was thrown upon the flames they continued their rev .ges, tie ing fluor after floor, until the building from the bottom to the top presented an immense sheet of tire. The fire still progr, wing a mounted express wits sent to town for the aid of other engines. Tar moment the news arrived Mr. logo, the toremau of the fire estiblishnaeut, started to the scene with four engines, upon reaching which the fire was burning with still greater violence, eta the premises No. 53 had become ignited at one part. The brigade having also set their ernaties to work they at length got the mastery over the contlutration, not however until Mr. Burton's pre raises, No. 64, were totally destroyed, and the stock in trade, furniture, wearing apparel, and other effects reduced to ashes. The premises of Mr. Darling, next door, have likewise suf fered, but not to any consider Ale extent. Fortuaately Mr. Burton was insured in the riADUII and General fire-offices, and Mr. Darling was equally protected by a policy in the Ito! al Exchange office. How the disaster occurred could not be ascertained. • LNUESTit, YESTERDAY. SUICIDE OP A BLIND PAL - Pew-11y Mr. W. Carter, at the Marlborough Arms, George-street, Camberwell, on the body of Richard Rice, aged 64, an inmate of Camberwell Workhouse. The de ceased had recently guff. red from a disease in the eyes, which bad made bun almost blind. He had hen operated upon a trw days since without any beneficial effect, and on Saturday last he left the workhouse in company with another pauper for the purpose of going to Cork-street, Piccadilly, to consult an oculist. Instead oleo doing, he went to Norwood, to the residence of an old master, but baring rang the bell he left before the door was opened. Upon reaching Dulwich pond he sent his companion f,r a pint of porter, and whilst he was gone fee it the deceased climbed over the railings and drowned himself in the water. Verdict, "Temporary insanity."---. DEATH VW) SI num.—Before Mr. Payne, at St. Bartholo mew's H,pital, on view of the body of William Icup, aged 79 years, of 5, Angel-alley, Bishopogate-street. On Monday, the 24th ultimo, the deceased was sitting on the bed, after returning from a short walk, when he suddenly became very giddy. He rose from the bed for the purpose of going to a uphosrd in the room, and he placed his hand against the wall for support. Ilia hand slipped, and he f. II with great violence upon the fire. He struck his head against the bars of the grate, and he was rendered insensible. He remained burning upon the fire for several minutes until his senses returned to him. He with great difficulty raised himself off the fire, but being unable to stand he again fell upon the fire. His right aide was most dreadfully burnt, and alter struggling for s-me mii.utee he succeeded in crawl ing to the door, and called to the neighbours for assistance. His clothes were immediately torn from his body. He was removed to the above hospital, where he lingered in great agony until Sunday lot, when hs expired. The jury said it was a very distressing case, and returned a verdict of " Accidental death." THE REFORM MOVEMENT. GREAT MEETING AT MANCHESTER. A very crowded and spirited meeting was held at the Corn Exchange, Manchester, on Monday evening, in favour of the Lew movement for Parliamentary Reform and a reduction of taxation. " To those," says our correspondent, " who remember the first movement/ of the Anti-Corn•Law Leaguers ' and the difficulties under which they had to labour before the maws could be fairly brought to compre hend the movement, the e chit with which the present agita tion has started forth stands out in remarkable contrast. Should the gentlemen who met at Newhall'/-buildings the other day rev ive replies sufficiently encouraging to induce them to organise another league, which it is pretty certain will be the result, there can be no doubt there will be a powerful response of feeling in this city and its neighbour hood to any appeal they may make : in the meantime, it should be understeod that the present meeting was got up merely by a few earnest and zealous reformers, and not at the instance of a powerful combination such as lief been seen in Manchester on former occasions, though it may serve to show very well which way the wind blows." Though the meeting was by tickets, tho holders were not bound to any expression of opinion. Thu Corn Exchange is capable of holding nearly 3,000 persons, and it was crowded to overflowing; indeed, besides thousands who had applied for tickets after they had all been given away, and who were disappointed in getting admission, a vast crowd which had gathered about the doors of the Corn Exchange, in the hope that the tickets would not be strictly demanded in all Ulna, were seen lingering there long after the Ex change was crammed with people, sad it was a matter of general regret that the Free Trade Hall had not been en gaged for the oeveiou. The chartists interfered to mar the proceeding., but were effectually defeated. Mr. John Brooks bad consented to occupy the chair, and he opened the meeting, by declaring his own convictions to be is favour of univerml suffrage—a declaration which was received by deafening cheers—though he was willing, for the sake of union, to stop at household suffrage, at present. Household suffrage, he thought, might do very well for the country towns at present ,• but for Manchester, and other large towns, he regretted this concession, because it would rieceasarily exclude from the suffrage many thousands of young men is lodgers, employed as warehousemen, sales men, clerks, and shopmen, who were clever, well-educated, prudent persons, as capable of properly exercising the fran chise as any men in the country. (Neer, hear.) Iffr. J. C. DTER, a retired manufacturer, and one of the oldest reformers in Manchester, rose to move the first resolu tion, and said : At the time of the agitation for the Reform Bill I strongly protested against the senseless limitation im plied by the cry of " The bill, the whole bill, and nothing but the bill," but I and my friends went with the popular will to get as much as we could, and accept the bill as one step, though by no means as a substantial or satisfactory one, is the march towards a proper representation of the people. The bill, however, his proved a much smaller and far less beneficial measure than was expected. The present House of Commons is nearly as corrupt, as much prone to a selfish overnment, to a government for class interests, and not for the interest of the people, as was the original cor rupt and vile House of Commons pretending to be the representatives of the people before the palm ing of the Reform Bill. (Hear and cheers.) It is high Luse then that we reformed the Reform Bill. We want an beam bill, which shall give the people the power of sending representatives into the House of Commons, who shall really represent the interests of the commonalty, and not act as a rutallau , e of Lordse-consliting of officers of the army and ”7„,Yi and tilled n u m b ers of the aristocracy. Out of the ws members it would be impossible to select 100 who h... e rt adily add unifo rm ly a dh ere d t o p ar li ame ntary reform. The corn it% were a grand robbery, and if, instead of mi. k dat for their repeal only, we had at ones taken up the question of parliamentary reform, all those the protection of one common intareit . woula have as a matter of course through the legislation of a body of men elected by the people. (Hear, hear.) Elected rulers are the only sort of rulers who can be safely treated with the interests of the people; all others carry on the government for their own benefit, not for that of the people. If it cost us one, two, or ten years, we ought toperserre till the great national object of parliamentary rennin is aocomplishsd. We complain of the unjust and op pressive taxation. How is it to be remedied when the parties who ley the taxes are benefitted by their increased amount, I and by their misapplication when collected ? The remedy exists in placing the power of the House of Commons in the hands of representatives fairly and truly elected by the voice of the people. This is to be, not a party, but a national movement; and by the honesty with which it would be corn ducted, it ought to draw all that highly-intelligent and nu merous class, the chartists, to aid in its promotion. We have carried the removal of the 'bum, in corn and other monopolies; but of all mosopelies the monopoly- of rights is the basest and most mischievous. It is clear that men should not be taxed, but things; and that not things should be represented, but men. (Hear.) This has been reversed with us, however. We have taxed men ; we have made the taxes to fell upon the people, and not upon the property of the nation. AU this will be cured when we get an honest House of Commons, and we shell have no occasion to agitate for a just system of taxation, of education, or for taking off restrictions on free trade, for all thus things will come u a matter et course. Mr. Dyer concluded by moving : That, In the opinion of this meeting, the present Howe of Commons has, by its recent decisions on mteritlons of taxation and expenditure. forfeited the condo-nee of the people, and that no antelioration of their condition can be expected, and no permanent tranquillity exist, until the industrious dmes are relieved front their oppresai re bur dens, and property made to contribute its Just proportion of the taxes. (Loudebeers.) Mr. A. ritENTICE seconded the motion, observing that if the passage in it declaring the meeting had no confidence in the House of Commons could be construed into contempt of that body it would bring them under the provisions of the new bill, for "open and advised speaking;" but he as sured the government they were not going to commit sedi tion. A stronger word than contempt would more fitly ex press their opinion of the present House of Commons— , ("hear," and applause) —but they only said that the house had forfeited thin. confidence ; and for himself that was not much, because he had very little confidenee to forfeit. (Laughter and cheers.) The Grey administration promised them peace, retrenchment, and reform, and how hail they carried it out ? As regarded peace, we only had it at a cost of ten millions a year more than we paid before the promi , e; as for the next promise, the proceediugs of the present ses sion 'hewed them resisting every proposition for retrench ment; and as to reform, that promise had been met by the present premier with a proposition for finality. (Cheers.) It was true that the movement of the Anti-Corn-Lam League had shown that reforms might be übtented ens from such a House of Commons as we had ; but it was M too great a cost of time and money to be resorted to on every occasion. People who w. re growing grey could ill brook a delay which might bring reforms so late that there was no prospect they would participate in them. Therefore the feeling for the House 01 Commons he had alluded to was not contempt but ineignation. (Cheers.) And the time was coming when it wound have to he turned out. lie did not say it would be kicked out, but they would receive what the landlord gave sometimes to a bad tenant a " no tice to quit." (Laughter.) It would be an eject ment, hut without any violence. (Laughter.) He eharactc rist d a system of representation by which 1.50,000 electors amongst 20,000,000 of people returned the majority of representatives an absurdity; aid going himself to the length'ef universal suffrage, he said it war nut, by the present movement, intended to stand in the way of any man's rights to a more just system. It would be absurd for any set of men to say they would extend the franchise no farther. Nu sat of men had the TWA to assume the power to say so; and any extension of this kind that might he had, therefore, could only be looked at as a step to a further and full concession of every men's right to a vete tor his repre sentatives. (Cheers.) Mr. .1. Werra supported the resolution, and inked what would he thought of a private society that should be formed, at which the managers addressed the members and said cer tain only of them would be allowed to exercise a vote or a control over the mausgement ? Yet that was what was virtually said to society at large by our present gurerrhirs, and he recommended them as a better way of quieting the people and curing sedition, that they should give them their rights. If that were done we should not have men brought up before the magistrates for selling short swords and guns, and as for pikes, the only ones caught iu Ireland would be those caught in the Shannon. (Cheers and laughter.) The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. Was. Beam a merchant, moved : That, in order to counteract the ruinous effects of pauperism and erilneconorquesi won the extravagance and imbecility of ariateetatic governments, a further measure of reform, contestant of a wide ex ten.ion of the franchise, equal electocil districts, vote by bollot, and shorter duration of parliaments, is imperatively &mottled to meet the exigenciee of the noses. Loud cheers.) Mr. Councillor II eywooo seconded the motion, and Mr. Vincent was about to support it, when Mr. E. C. Citorren, a chartist, claimed a right 'o propose an amendment, and was received with great disapprobation, bat, on the request of Mr. Vincent and the chairman, he was allowed to proceed, and iii a few sentences he submitted an amendment for universal suffrage and the other Mee points of the charter. Mr. (.1. U. Sat ria seconded the motion, and called upon the meeting not to bend to expediency but to grant justice. Mr. VINCENT supported the motion, and urged upon the meeting that whatever its opinions might be about house hold suffrage, or the household and lodger suffrage, it was the true policy of every chartist, where he cannot entirely concur, to keep quiet. The advocates of these movements are men at any rate (he continued) sneaking away from the whig party, from that power which hair hitherto prevented the question of the franchise from making any way amongst us. (Loud cheers.) When once the steam is thoroughly gut up in this country, men will get bolder. The shy man who is now afraid to look at universal suffrage, may be brought to touch it and feel it ; and therefore I would advise you to go on, not interfering with and objecting to the movement of the middle clam, but trying by lectures, speeches, deputa tions, and quiet argumentative means, to convince the middle class that what they called household suffrage was not so sato and just a franchise as universal suffrage. There has been a large meeting of all classes at Leicester, and no amendment was moved, although many of the speakers were chartists. Their resolution, like aura to-night, was in favour of a wide extension of the franchise ; nothing else was included, because they wanted to convict the present House of Commons of inconsistency, if they refused to inquire into the present representative system. Sir Jeehua Walmsli y said that the parliamentary rtform party was quite willing to define household suffrage as meaning any man who occupied anything called a tenement. That is going much fester than they appear to do in the outset, and will not be far from universal suffrage. Now, though I am an universal suffrage man, I have no right to prevent them forming an msociation to further their own views. Let me ask the chartists here what victory they will gain, sup posing they carry their amendment ? (Loud cheers.) The government would rejoice to see a division which should keep the middle classes effectually from your aid. He asked the chartists to beware how they attempted to drive the middle classes back to whiggery. A Mr. MITCHELL proposed another amendment to the effect that no property qualification was deeirable. After some discusssion, the Chairman put the question, when the amendments were negatived, and the original motion carried by a great majority. The meeting then broke up. the ] that IRELAND. day of Aril, 1643.—1 ii, his Exoelltatefe oosamind, We. M. Boom- The city of Limerick has also been proclaimed. It !onus under the Crime and Outrage Suppression Act and after Friday next. The county has been under proclamation. addition to these signs of vitality on the part of Izecutive, the provincial papers contain evidenes they are on the alert in other quarters. Ls Thal a prosecution has been instituted against persons (among them a Mr. Hodnett, • solid tor) for "practising the use of arms; ' and the parties are bound over to take their trial at the ensuing sessions. The authorities have also very properly ordered an investigation into a charge of disaffection, brought by Mr. Henry Skeane, relieving-officer of Banagher, against two sub-constables of police, named Johnson and Kilmartin, upon which the if Star makes the following bservations : As the finding of the court cannot be known until the minutes of the proceedings have been submitted te, and sanctioned by, the Inspector-General, we are not in a pent tion to state the result ; but we can say for ourselves, that we never saw charges more satisfactorily disproved than in the present ca e. Every one of the witnesses is a man of the meet excellent character, and they gave their evidence in the clearest possible manner. It is highly probable that the great majority of similar allegations made respecting the police and soldiery would, if inquired Into, end in a similar ex posure of their groundlessness. On yesterday (Sunday), a large party of Young Irelanders proceeded from the city to the wild grounds at the foot of the Three Hock Mountain, within five miles of Dublin, to practise rifle-shooting. They were not., however, permitted to enjoy themselves with im punity. A small party of the constabulary inter posed, and arrested a few of the principals, one of whom is Andrew English, who ie at present out on bail, along with several others, to answer a charge of violating the act of Parliament which forbids drilling and practising military evolutions. The Limerick riot is the topic of universal con versation, and is likely to lead to the total break up of the Young Ireland party, and to the consequent re-establishment of order and tranquillity. Mr. Mit chell's appearance in Limerick was the signal for an outburst of Old Ireland animosity. But the outcry against the defamer of O'Connell did not reach its height until late last evening. The Garry Owen boys improvised a canvas effigy of Mitchell stuffed with straw, and having trailed the obnoxious image through the streets, arrived before the house where Messrs. O'Brien, Mitchell, and Meagher were being entertained. They, with tremendous yells, next pro ceded to fire the effigy of Mitchell, and having done so attempted to force the blazing effigy into the room where the party were assembled. S. O'Brien, relying on hie popularity, went forth to allay the tumult, when he was fiercely assailed and severely injured—some of his ribs, I understand, having been broken, besides the other injuries he sus tained. He was carried (ruin the scene by four men to the house of his father-in-law. Notice of the assault on their leader having been given to the confederates, they immediately proceeded to arm. Tables, chairs, benches, everything that could fill the red hand orrevenge wee put in requisition, and they sallied forth against the invaders. The battle raged furiously on both sides for at least twenty minutes, and it was not until the military and police interfered, that the combatants were separated. lam informed that nothing could surpass the hate and ferocity of the combatants. I subjoin a more detailed account from the Pilot of this evening. Mr. Smith O'Brien, in consequence, retires for ever from public life; and so does Mr. Meagher. The former, in his parting address to his constituents, says : tlav:ng ceased to entertain • remnant of hope that, under present circumstances, I can render sty service to this °cunt) , by continuing to take a part in public sitars, I tog to announce to you that it is my intention to resign my seat at the earliest moment that is consistent with your convenience. I cannot take leave of you, after a political connexion of thirte.n years, without expressing toy unfeigned thank. for the many proofs 1 have received of your public spirit and pet - foils' attachment. _ . _ . . DITBLIM, MA• I. RIOT IN LIMERICK. - MR. MITCHELL BURNED IN EFFIGY.-SMITH O'BRIEN'S It was rumoured late in the day that Mr. O'llriev, having been persuaded by his friends, had withdrawn his resignation ; but, on inquiry, I could discover no confirmation of the intelligence. His successor has already been named. A Limerick correspondent of the Mail asserts that Mr. Dickson, a resident gentle possesaing large estates in both county and city I of Limerick, is universally looked upon as a person most eligible and likely to fill the present vacancy caused in the representation of this county. lie has already had several applications and offers of support from numerous influential quarters. In the Queen's Bench to-day, on the sitting of the court, Mr. Mitchell appeared at the side bar, and shortly after Mr. Smith O'Brien entered, basking very ill. Ile had a black-eye, and his lips were swollen from some severe contusion. The bar was astonished at the disfigured appearance of the ex-member for Limerick, and it was not until .the ea officio discussion had terminated, that the Limerick catastrophe be came known, and the causes of the ill-usage which Mr. O'Brien had received. Subjoined is a summary of the proceedings : Sir Colman O'Logblen renewed his application for the appearance of Mr. Mitchell hF attorney, and dwelt at some' length on a case in 10 East, in support of his appli cation. lie alluded to an affidavit Wed by the crown, which stated that Mr. Mitchell after the ' finding of the original bills, bad attended a meet ing in Abbey-street, at which chartist delegates were present, and where Mr. Mitchell was reported to have spoken language as eeditions as that upon which the infor mations were found. Sir Colman argued that Mr. Mitchell might be prosecuted for that speech, bat it was no reason to deprive him of the accustomed privilege of appearing by attorney in cases of misdemeanor. The Attorney-General strongly resisted the application, and justified the affidavit as supplying powerful reasons why the favour of the court should not he extended to Mr. Mitchell, for the application was not one of strict right. 'I he court, after a brief con sultation, decided that Mr. Mitchell must appear in person. The four-day rule having expired riwlay, Mr. Mitchell, as I informed you on Saturday, has pleaded a se cond time in abatement, and the plea wait exactly in substance as I stated—namely, the pendency of proceedings under the original informations, which must be regularly quashed before ho could go to trial on the ex officio. There I can be no doubt that the entry of the node proseva quashed the informations; but then the second plea being upon the racord, just as the first, errors can be assigned, and the con viction will have to undergo an argument before the twelve judges—perhaps before the House of I:irds. This will carry Mr. Mitchell over the long v ication, even though he should be found guilty in the after sittings; and thus he obtains a far longer day than the AttornerGeneral would be disposed to afford him. Will Mr. Monahan file another es officio? Mr. Mitchell's motion being settled, the AttorneyOensral ordered Mr. S. O'Brien to be called. He immediately stood up and stated to the court his willingness to go to trial without, delay. Conscious of no offence, he had no fears for the re sult, and would not interpose any dilatory pleadings : He asked the Attorney-General to fix the day, and serve imme diate notice of trial. The Attorney : General, however, would take time to consider. It is not improbable that, in conse quence of the strange turn political events have taken—the resignation of his seat in parliament by Mr. O'Brien, and his withdrawal, together with that of Mr. Meagher, from public life, that the proceedings maybe abandoned against both. Mr. Mitchell, having expreesed his resolution to per severe in the old course, and stand up through all risks for insurrection, can expect no such favour front the crown. RESIGNATION. --- I informed you on Saturday that the draft of the proclamation to proclaim this city , was in the hands of the government printers. The city is not proclaimed, but the various forms under which the repeal party meditated a severance of the union arc brought under the proclaiming ban. The Lord Lieutenant, in a proclamation which is at this moment being eagerly read by thousands in every quarter of the city, cautions the citizens against a " National convention or council, or a council of three hundred, or national guard." The following is the important document : Ely rile Loan Lrefrriesor or IRVlAND.—Clarendon,—Whams divers id-disposed persona have, in various pubhcatione, In news papers, and otherwbie, and by addresses and speeches at public meet ings, advised the election of a representative body in this part of her Niajeety's dominions, to be called a National Convention or Council, ' or the Council of Three Hundred, and have invited and exhorted her Majesty's subjecto to proceed to the election of delegates or members to represent them, or certain districts or divisions of the country, in such an amembly ; and the same or other ill-disposed persons have, in the like manner, and under lilac and pretended allegations, without any colour of lawful authority, invited and exhorted her Majesty's subjects in Ireland to constitute themselves into an armed association, to be called • National Guard, or to enrol or register their names as willing to be members of and embo died in such an association: and it Is represented and manifestly appears to as that such proceedinp are devised soil intended for the purpose of thereby, and by forte and intimidation, effecting changes in the law and constitution of this realm; and whereas it appears to its that all such devices and intentions of such ill-dispoood permits are not only unconstitutional and unlawful, and tend to the disturbance of the public peace, but that they cannot be carried into effect by the election of melt a convention, or the formation of such an armed association, without violating the express prohibitions of cer tain acts of parliament —that is to say, an act parsed in the parliament of Ireland, In the thirty-third year of the reign of hie late Majesty King Gouge the entitled "An oat to pre vent the election or appointment of unlawful assemblies, under pre tence of preparing or presenting public petitions, or other addressee, to his Majesty or the parliament ;" end an act puma in the parlia ment of the United Kingdom, in the sixtieth year . of the reign of his lad.

Duunc presiding, the numbers who attended were large, and the usual characteristics were apparent. After the preliminary business of the meeting had been gone through Mr. John O'Connell adverted to the late collision between the Old Irelanders and confederates in Limerick — The accounts, as yet received, were too vague to warra nt the committee in taking a step in the matter which they in tended—namely, to address Smith O'Brien. To address him, deprecating, in strong acd indignant terms, the gross attack made on him, and in condemnation of the parties who made it (cheers) —to call on the people not to permit similar occurrences to take place again. (Hear.) The committee of the association felt strongly on the subject; and the committee would therefore meet on Wednesday to investigate the circumstances under which it had occurred.—A Voice: No repeaters did it:—Mr. O'Con nell was sure of that. Mr. O'Connell then moved the in sertion on the minutes of the letters of the Right Rev. Drs. Cantwell and Form. Ile had also to move the insertion on their minutes of the patriotic and cheering address of the Protestant Association. It was the protestant& of 'B2 that won their national independence ; still the catholic, could have lent them a powerful helping hand, and placed the constitution of Ireland on a basis that all the powers of Eng land could not have shaken. The gentlemen who formed this Protestant Association stood by their country in the late trials of famine and disease ; they were worthy sons of f tbe fathers of 'B2, and may heaven bless them for coming or ward to work out their country's liberation. The motion war carried unanimously.—Mr.Cialwey alluded to the conduct of the Whig government in introducing the gagging bill, and re ferred to the support given to it by Mt. Chisholm Anstey, member for Youghal. (Groans.) In the course of the learned gentleman's observations, he said he hoped that no constituency would elect a man "rolled up in a five pound note" again without investigating his conduct. He was in formed that he should not have mentioned the five pound note. (Hear.)—Mr. O'Connell said the reason he did not wish Mr. Oalwey to mention " the five pound note," was that a party in the country sneered at the Association be cause several gentlemen who subscribed live pounds did not up to their word. (Hear, hear.) He di I not wish to let it sae imagined that Mr. Anatey had anything to do with the Association. Mr. O'Connell afterwards spoke at great length upon the proclamation, showing the foolishness of issuing it before the bodies were in existence.—The rent is expected to amount to 401.

FIRTH IN EDINBURGH AND SUFFOCATION OP FITZ PICRBONB. A fire took place on Sunday morning at the Sciennes (in the 'southern environs of Edinburgh', which has occasion 'd the Imo( five lives. The tenement in which the occurrence took place is occupied by families of the humblest rank. The apartment which was the immediate scene of the event, is situated on the ground floor, and was occupied by an old woman named Ann Taber, 72 years of age, with whom a grandchild, Ann Liddle, five years old, resided. This poor woman, in order to eke out a subsistence, also boarded three boys from the West Church Parochial Board, of the names of James Boffry, aged seven, Joseph Adams, six, and Robert Melville, eight years. The whole of the inmates slept in two beds, in a close and con fined room, and they had retired to rest with their ciotomary regularity on Saturday evening. About half-past 9 o'clock on Sunday morning thick smoke was observed to fill the apartment, which was entered, when the bodies of Mrs. I Taber and her grandchild, Ann Liddle, were found lying on the floor, and the boys on the bed, all quite dead. The origin of the fire has not been ascertaine-1, and the damage consists in the destruction of the two beds, several chairs, and a quantity of clothing, while a portion of a partition was also burned down. The fire bad ouviously been burning for some hours, though, from the want of air, and the closeness of the apartment, its rapid progress had been prevented. Parts of some of the bodies were scorched by the flames, and the remains of a feather bed base been found, the odour from which must have been overpowering, and contributed greatly to produce this lamentable occurrence. The second fire, which took place about one o'clock on Sa turday morning, was in the roof of a thrashing-mill attached to the farm of ltodenlaw, about six miles westward of Edits. burgh, occupied by Mr. Brown, farmer. It is supposed to have been caused by a spark from a locomotive engine on the Elinburgh and Glasgow railway, from which the farm ateading is distant about 100 yards, and its existence was discovered by an Irishman who had been sleeping in one of the outhouses. PROVINCIAL. _YORKSHIRE. NEW SYSTEM OF PiiT7tTO 7 GitowiNci.—Mt. MenMa, formerly curator at the Leeds Botanical Gardens, and long and favourably known in the horticultural world, has re• cently published a communication on the importance of de• caching all the superfluous shoots from the potato sets. "By doing so," he says, " I have found a very considerable in crease in the weight and size of a potato crop in comparison with those growing near. of the same kind, on a similar soil, where the tope bad all been left on u they sprang up, and, as they frequently do, with six, eight, or ten stems. The detached shoots, if taken off with care, will be found perfectly well rooted, and to need no further support from the parent tuber; and, therefore, it each be separately planted wth care in a coiled position, leaving just the top above the surface, about six inches apart in the row, and about from two to three feet between, according to the kind and soil, and watered afterwards to settle the soil about them, and then treated as the others, excellent crops will be produced, little inferior to that from the original set, had the whole of its shoots been left on it, and the crop will prove finer." He adds: " Where manure of a rank nature is applied to the sets it ouzht judiciously to be laid over, and not under the sets. I have seen the evil effects of t'ais prac tice too often.'

DARING BURGLARY.—On Friday morning four thieves entered the residence of Mrs.Linnington, 2, Brougham. street. Southsea, and after ransacking the whole of the lower part of the premises, went up stain, and in the servant's room disguised themselves by affixing strips of calico round their heads; they then entered the sleeping apartment of Mrs. Linningtan, who is very aged and in a weak state of health, and after striking her with such violence as she lay in her bed as to produce a serious wound in the forehead, ransacked the drawers, taking away two 51. Bank of Eng. land notes and some silver, six silver tea-spoons, a gold watch, and various other silver and plated articles, and a shawl. The robbers effected entrance into the house by getting over the garden wall, and then through the back parlour window; neither the shutters of which nor window had been fastened ; and they escaped in the same way. Two men, George Winsor and William Hinton, are in custody, on suspicion. They were brought before the magistrates on Saturday morning for examination, and remanded. THE RIOTS IN LIMERICK. The following version appears in - the Pilot of this evening: Limasece, SUNDAY.—I am sorry to have to inform you that this city has been the scene of meet alarming and la mentable disturbances, in consequence of Mr. Mitchell, who has been en continually libelling the memory of O'Conne 11, being invited to the soirée, advertised to be given last night. In the evening, previous to the intended enterteinmesit, the effigy of Mr. Mitchell was borne through the streets on men's should( TS, the figure being suspended by the neck from a rope fastened to a long pole. On the back of the effigy were inscribed in large letters the words, " Mitchell, the calumniator of O'Connell ;" on the front, " Mitchell, the slaade'er of the Catholic religion." As soon as the company had collected—to the number of some three hundred, or more—the effigy was tarred over, and brought in front of the building in which the soiree was held. There it was set on fire, aad burned fiercely—the blaze reaching neerly the roof. During the progress of the combustion several attempts were made to push the burning mar through the windows and doors. These efforts were suc cessfully repelled by the party inside, and luckily, from the inflammable nature of its materials, the figure was consumed before the arrival of fresh reinforcements of the populace. Great alarm, of course, pervaded those inside, especially the females, many of whom got sprained noel's, and were otherwise injured, in their haste to ascend from the bottom story, which was most threatened by the populace. Lan guege of the most insulting nature now peered between those inside and the assemblage without. A shower of stones was noon hurled at the budding, every window in front of which was in an instant demolished, and the door smashed in. Then, indeed, the struggle became " lest and furious." The ltev. Doctor O'Connor, the only Catholic priest who attended the soiree, endeavoured to obtain a hearing by putting his head through one of the upper windows, essay ing to obtain a parley. But the only reply he could obtain was, that as he had joined Mitchell, the calumniator of the dead, let him abide the consequences. I cannot conceive how he could escape unhurt, for the stencil were flying in volleys mound him. Meanwhile the battle below raged fiercely, the doors being broken open. As many of the m mines of the Sarsfield Club went to the entertainmeut armed with either pike or rifle, the fire-arms were here brought into rsquisi:ion. Several shots were discharged at the assailants, but I have no doubt they were blank eartridge. When the first shots were fired the crowd tell back, the party inside supposed for the purpose of retreating, as they followed up the discharge by a silly with the pike. They were, however, greatly disap pointed. The populace had only retreated for the pure, pose of obtaining a further supply of stones, with which , they instantly returned, and pouring in a thundi ring volley of these formidable missiles, they drove back the pike party. The firing then recommenced, and one man fell pierced with a bullet. The consequences now must have been awful, as one party, momentarily augmenting, was maddened to fury, ann the other would have fought with all the courage of despair, had not the opportune arrival of Sub-inspector Wit fiams and a large party of police put an end to the conflict. At this moment Mr. W. Smith O'Brien made his appear ante in the doorway; and, I deeply regret to state, he received a blow from • stone over the eye, which cut and bruised him, Everyone deeply deplores this occur rence. The military now arrived. A troop of horse lined the street, and enabled the inmates of the beleaguered building to make good their retreat. Mr. O'Brien proceeded to his residence to have his &redressed, after having pledged his honour that he would never more appear at a public meeting, and signified his intention of retiring into private life. Mr. Mitchell got away without being observed. Some say he 'lipped out in disguise, having changed coats with a labouring ~an until he arrived at the hotel. Mr. Meagher same out leaning on the arm of Mr. E. Costello. There did not appear to be the slightest desire to molest the young gentleman; nor indeed was the smallest hostility manifested towards any of the guests but Mr. Mitchell, whose talk about fraternity,, and his slanders on O'Connell's memory, so insulting to a grateful people, are, to say the least, exceedingly irreconcileable. All would now have ended, without further trouble, but for the conduct of two persons named Keefee, members of the Saretield Club, who, basin.; mounted the upper step of Cr uise's Hotel, at which Mr. Meagher ens stopping, drew out two daggers, and dared any in the crowd to " rookie Meagher or Mitchell." The challenge was answered by a shower of stones, one of which struck Mr. Cruise on the fore head, as he was shutting the door, and cut him severely. The Keeffes escaped in the confusion. Thus ended this la mentable affair, which bed its entire origin in the tine died for writings of Mr. Mitchell, and in the perversity which led him to persevere in going to the soiree in the face of so for midable a manieetation of popular indignation. Had he not been present, not only would there have been no disturb ance, but • greet number would have attended, who, luckily for themselves under the circumstances, stopped away. The Eveniuy Mail adds, from • correspondent, that after the troops were withdrawn, at about half-past ten o'clock, the mob broke into the store where the meeting had been held, broke all the cups, saucers, plates, benches, and orna mental festoonings, and then retired satisfied, having mal treated two policemen who had been stationed there, and not being relieved, were unwilling to quit teeir posts. Mr. Cruise, the hotel keeper, was struck on the head by a stone aimed at Mitchell. Nothing could exceed - the chagrin and discomfiture of Meagher and Mitch , Ili Aher ordering and counter-ordering a car for Rathkeele, they ended by indu cing Mr. Cruise to let the Cork coach be packed and horsed in his yard (contrary to usual practice), and then having safely lodged themselves inside, the two heroes had , the yard gate suddenly opened, and they were whirled off in search of • new field of glory. The proceedings at the ;commencement of the soirée are thus detailed by another correspondent :—A meeting of the Young Inlanders took place here last night, in honour of Smith O'Brien, Meagher of the sword, and Mitchell of vitriol notoriety, of which the Old Irelanders, having the fear of a free passage to Norfolk Island, provided by the Crown Security Bill for treasonmongers in open and advised speak ing, fought shy. About 100 Confederates, perhaps, assem bled, and having moved Doctor Daniel Griffin to the chair, proceeded to take the tea and other good things provided ; but their quiet enjoyment of those creature comforts was suddenly interrupted by a volley of stones from the Old In landers, which smashed the windows and door, outside of which several thousands of these gentry had assembled, para ding an effigy of Mr. Mitchell. This thing they proceeded to burn its a bonfire o Aside the door, through which the smoke made its way into the building, to the great alarm of some few of the inmates, four of whom defining egress by the door a dangerous attempt, ascended to an upper story, and courageously let themselves down by a chain used for hoisting up goods, and made their escape by a back leas. The great majority of them, inside, however, manfully stood their ground, at the risk of shar ing the fate of the captive Arabs suffocated in the caves of Debra; but at length fearing to be smoked out, and hearing the entreaties of a reverend gentleman from an upper story, who called out " shame on you, men," in vain to the crowd below, the ins priaened confederates fired some blank shots front the interior of the building, which quickly sent those outside scampering; Smith O'Brien then went among the crowd, with a view of pa cification, when he received a severe contusion from a stone beneath the left eye, and was, in consequence, obliged to go home. The police now made their appearance, when peace was restored outside, and those within proceeded to give the usual toasts, Messrs. Meagher and Mitchell being the prin cipal speakers on the occasion. By ten o'clock the military were called out, under whose protecting care no further col lision took place, and the meeting separated before eleven o'clock, the leaders thoroughly crestfallen at their inhos litable reception by the inhabitants of the city of the vio ated treaty. From the foregoing description will be per ceived the little sympathy felt for the doctrines of the con federates in this place. Here their numbers are contemptible. if one may be allowed to judge by the muster of lest night ; and the mishap of Mr. O'Brien, who will have to appear to morrow in the Court of Clueeh's Bench ,with the ignoble mark of a black eye, must cast such an air of ridicule over the whole affair as effectuvlly to prevent such freaks for the future. Music. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—MdIIe. Alboni appeared last evening in " La Cenerentolte," an opera in which it is said she created a great sensation last season in Paris. She sang charmingly ; but the effect of her performance suffered from the general weakness of the opera, which is very tar front being one of the masterpieces of its author. The drama is very poor; the writer of the libretto having with great want of judgment discarded all the incidents of the pretty fairy tale, which is so delightful to the childish imagination, and never loses its charm even to children of a larger growth. Divested of all its fanciful machinery, the story ie meagre and insipid in the extreme, with almost nothing to excite either interest or amusement. Rossini could derive no inspiration from such a subject. Much of the music consists of remplissage and common-place ; and the very best parts of it never rise above elegant and agreeable mediocrity In the part of the heroine there are only two or three thing. in which the best singer can produce much effect. The snatches of the old ballad which Cenerentola is discovered singing by the kitchen fire were rendered striking by the beautiful tones of Alboni'e voice and her quaint um. !dicky of manner. The pretty trio which follows by the three sisters, was spoiled by the singing of two of the ladies. The scene in which the l'rinee first sees Cenerentola and is smitten by her charms is very pleasing, and the duet between them was exquisitely sung by Alboni and Salvi; but we missed that touch of pathos, in the poor girl's artless tale of bard usage and suffering, to which we have been accustomed by other performers. This Is the only passage in which the actress has an opportunity at exhibiting anything like feeling ; and having missed it, Alboni's whole performance was void of passiou. None of the music she had to sing afforded any room for expression; sad even the air, "Iron piu Incite," which forms the finale, and from which the part derives its whole eclat, is waking more than a string of bravura variations on a very ordinary theme, which she sang with the most finished and brilliant execution, but neither did nor could display tbt highest qualities of a vocal performer. In her principal efforts she was most warmly applauded. The cantabile movement immediately preceding the above air (.• Nacqui all' affanno ") was redemanded and repeated. The " Non piu meats " was also loudly encored, but the lady did not comply with the call, but twice came forward merely to curtsey to the audience. We could hardly ascribe this refusal to fatigue, for during the evening her physical strength was not severely taxed. She did not sing a great deal ; what she did sing was of a light description, and she had not the effort of passionate SCOTLAND. action or expression. We have heard Grisi exert herself thrice as much, and cheerfully comply with every wish The liberal press still continues to denounce the of the audience for a repetition of what pleased them.

THE CORPORATION OP LICHFIELD.—VALIDITT OF BOROIJOH RATE.—The ques tion in this use related to the validity of a borough rate and the legality of applying it foe the purpose of paying expenses incurred prior to the making of the rate ; and this was a mition for an injunction to restrain such application of a rate made in July last.—Mr. Turner opened the case in sup port of the motion. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. minas in Baum. REGINA 12. RI;TION AND OTHERS.—at the sitting of the court, Lord Denman gave judgment in this case. It was an indictment against the defendants, who were workmen Lithe prosecutor, he being a dyer. The farts of the eau were fully reported in this paper when the rule was argued. it will be remembered that the prosecutor permitted the men in his employment to dye articles belonging to themselves with his materials, but not to do so for other persons, er for profit in any way ; they, however, abused the confidence which their master lad placed in them, having been indicted and found guilty of dyeing articles with the prosecutor's dye, without his knowledge, for which they had been paid. The indict ment charged the defendants with a misdemeanor, and a rule was subsequently obtained to set aside the verdict on the ground that the offence, if proved, was a felony, and not • misdemeanor, inasmuch as it was a stealing of the prosecu tor's dye; and the indictment for a misdemeanor could not, therefore, be held good. It was argued, on behalf of the crown, that the indictment for misdemeanor could be sus tained, notwithstanding the crime committed might amount to a felony. The court, n ,w, upon a review of all the autho rities and principles, ir:in lsat there was no 7' '.ion why the indictment for a misdemeanor should not be Japported though the evidence proved, in fact, that a felony bad beta committed.—The atilt than proceeded with the special paper but no case of public intecestoccurred during the day.
