D Free Press on this proclamation is as aria has put us in posremicst of one of the taken by the N et Indian govern. and which is, perhaps, to be looked upon as merle! change In the conduct of the Nether. no. Even viewed In itself, the opening of a the highest interest, whether Iv:garde,' with the surrounding states, on trade, or to the m Singapore. In resolving on this measure, pear to have renounced altogether the pulley to pursued in regard to this part of the THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY been thrown upon them.-r Mr. Morley stated that he had been present at the iuquest, and be hesitated not to say that the inquiry was conducted in the most partial and unfair man ner, and the verdict was returned by Mr. Mills and not the jury. —Mr. Morris also reprobated the course of the deputy eoroner.—Mr. Coulthard; the relieving officer, was ex amined, and stated, amongst other things, that the average number of persons who apply for relief is 100 to 140. It was quite possible for a person coming here at 9 o'clock to remain until 4 without being attended to; and a party coming at 3 o'clock has as much chance of being attended to as the one who comes at 9 o'clock. There is no regulation for attending to the applicants in turn.—The following reso lution was subsequently adopted : That tickets numbered consecutively be given to all persons apply ing for relief ea they enter the gate, and that they be celled according to the number; and further that one relieving officer be in atten dance until applicants hare been served. The board then adjourned. GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY.--A general meeting of proprietors of this company was held yesterday at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, but as the press was excluded. we can give no further account of the proceedings than that which we derive from the printed report, from which we extract the following : In the account wince your committee lay this de y before the pro prietary, it appears that the net tonnages for the half-year ending Nth June last, have amounted to 41,6131.35. td., being 16,5261.195. 1 IcL less than for the corresponding six months of the preceding year. This decrease has been caused by the reductions which it has been necessary to make in the tonnage Mee, as also by a diminution of the thhfare trade. The localtraffic has, however, materially in creased, notwithstanding a very considerable reduction of the 10-al coal trade, and although the whole tragic on the canal within the period of the account has decreased, as compared with the cor responding period in the year 1845, it has nevertheless exceeded by 22,985 tons, the average traffic of the last seven years. Your committee have made every effort in their power to induce the committee of the Oxford Canal Company to be satisfied with the reduced tolls charged by this company in oonj unction with the Leicester Quads ; your committee, however, regret to state that the committee of the Oxford Canal Company persevere in refusing to join in these redactions, or to submit to arbitration what tolls should be levied by the respective companies which are desirous to amalga mate for their common interests. During the last seinen of Parlia ment, twenty-six bills were introduced for the construction of rail ways which would, more or lees, have interfered with the works of the company ; the expense either of resisting these projects, or of getting inserted into their bills clauses neowisary for the protection of the property of the company, has increased the extraordinary ea. permits of the present amount by the stun of 1,1385. 16e. Id. The report was, we understand, agreed to. ROYAL SOCIETY AND M. LE `TERRIER.—The anniversary meeting of the Royal Society was held at their apartments in Somerset House on Monday last (St. Andrew's Day), on which occasion the noble president, the Marquis of Nortlsampton, delivered his cuatomary annual address, passing under review the progress of science during the past year. The Copley gold medal, which was happily called by Sir H. Davy the ancient olive crown of the Royal Society," was awarded to M. Le Verrier, and received for him, at his request, by Sir J. Herschel. One of the royal gold medals, and the Rumford gold medal, were awarded to Professor Faraday, for his brilliant discoveries in magnetism, published in the Philosophical tren-Setions ; and the second royal gold medal was awarded to Prof. Owen, for his able and elaborate paper " on the Belemnite," also published in the Transactions. The officers and counsel for the ensuing year were then elected, after which the Society dined together at the Crown and Anchor, the Marquis of Northampton presiding, supported by Sir J. Herschel ' Sir B. Brodie, Sir R. Murchison, Sir J. Ross, Prof. Owen, ace. REPORTED SALE OF A MORNING PAPER TO THE CATRoLICB.—So far as our information goes upon this sub ject (and we believe it to be as good as that of others), the report is unmitigated fudge from beginning to end. We believe that there is no morning paper existing in London, at present, that has the remotest chance of falling into the hands of the Romanists. As to the rest, the' Romanists already have a weekly paper, arid, for aught we know, they . might have the Church and State Gazette too; but as to the daily papers, the conjecture of any of them falling into the hands of a Roman Catholic proprietary is utterly absurd. —Morning Post. ROWLAND HILL, EsQ. —On Monday Rowland Hill, Esq., entered upon his new appointment at the Gene ral Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, and was congratu lated on the occasion by the Right Hon. the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Postmaster-General, and Colonel Moberly, the secretary of this e-tablishment ; also by T. S. Bun combe, Esq., the member for Finsbury, who paid a special visit on the occasion. —. Morning Post.

SALE OF THE BOOKS, PLATE, AND WINES OF THE LATE Sin C. Ws.rneKELL, liNT.—Yesterday, the sale of the property of the lute Sir C. Wetherell was concluded. The plate went at prices varying from ss. 6d. to 12s. 2d. per oz., and of these there were 18d lots. The following were the prices that some of the wines fetched :—Six dozen of port, bottled 10 years, four guineas per dozen; 23 dozen of brown sherry, 15 years in bottle, 61s. per dozen; Constantia, in pints, about 365. per dozen. The wine realised between 1,100/. and 1,1501. The sale of the law books and the books of THE literature offered nothing remarkable.

FIRE AND SUPPOSED Loss OF LlFE.—This morn ing, between the hours of twelve and one, a fire, by which it is supposed one or two persons lost their lives, broke out at 31, Chaleroft-terrace, New-cut, Lambeth, known as the Exhibition of Nature and Art, the property of a Mr. Fee gusson. Whilst the proprietor of the establishment, and one or two other parties, were sitting in the front kitchen, they were suddenly alarmed at hearing a loud crackling noise proceeding from the exhibition-room. Upon getting to the top of the staircase, they found the exhibition wrapped in one broad sheet of flame. An instant cry of fire was raised, in order to arouse the other inmates, but the flames made such fearful progress, that it was with the greatest dif ficulty that any one could escape. The persons in the lower floor were severely singed in getting out. In the course of a few minutes the brigade engine from Waterloo-road was at the scene, followed immediately by the West of England firemen and engine. Without delay, the engines were set to work, and had an abundant supply of water. The exhi bition being composed principally of wax, the flames rose with such rapidity, that before a drop of water could be dis charged into the place, it was burning from the floor to the roof. By strenuous exertions on the part of the firemen, the flames were got under by half-past one, but not until the wax-work figures and several living serpents and monkeys were destroyed. The cries of the latter animals, on the flames reaching them, were of the most agonising character, and there are grounds also to suppose that, at the least, one or two human beings have been hurried into eternity by this calamitous event. Mr. Ferguson assured the reporter that he was fearful a daughter of his housekeeper had perished in the flames, but he was quite certain that a female dwarf named Robertson, had been burnt to death. He stated that she was sleeping in the back room, third Hoer, and had not the least possibility of effecting ber escape. How the fire originated cannot be ascertained. Mr. Ferguson estimates the loss of his exhibition at upwards of 1,0001. INQUESTS.—RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—By Mr. W. Payne, at Guy's Hospital, on the body of James Smith. Deceased was working in a hole to make a " pier" for the new line of rails near the Greenwich line, in the wish of Horslydown, by putting in concrete, when the earth on one side of the hole fell in. Deceased attempted to run to the farther side, but a large piece of earth struck him on the side and knocked him down. The deceased was a sub-contractor for the work, and the accident was caused by striking the centre " strut " too soon. The house-surgeon said deceased died on Sunday from fracture of the pelvis.

Since the inquest the bargemen had stated that they saw the de ceased fall from the bridge. Mr. Smith, surgeon, said he had made a post-mortem examination, and found extensive extravasation of blood over the spine.

Rallying, he put on his hat, and staggered into the street, when, sitting down on the kerb stone, and asking for some water, he placed his hat under his head, and exclaiming " Let me die," presently expired.

The Duke of Wellington's arrival was hailed by the warmest expression of admiration,' the , noble and gallant Duke accepting those unequivocal marks of respect with his usual equanimity. The noble and_gal lent Duke, accompanied by the Earl of Ellesmere and Lord Edward Russell, subsequently left the castle on horseback, in order to-meet the royal cortege, when his Grace was again loudly cheered. Shortly after four, the approach of the royal cortege was observed on the Chichester road, and at a quarter past, her Majesty reached the boundary of the town, escorted by the Yeomanry Cavalry, preceded by the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Ellesmere, and Lord Edward Howard. The arrival of the Queen gave occasion to protracted cheering from the vast assem blage persons ,, amidst which the royal carriage stopped. The =yet th en advinced to the Rotal earner; and 'most respectfully presented the mace, his worship being supported by the officers of the borough and municipal authorities. The mayor, in offering the insagoia of his office, addressed her Majesty as follows: May it please your Majesty tosceept of this mace, which 1, as mayor of this ancient borough, humbly present, in dutiful aubmimice to your Majesty's royal prerogative. The Queen graciously received the mace ; and, in reply, thanked the - Mayor fir his dutiful reception, and resigned the mace to his custody, with reliance on his integrity and loyalty. This ceremony being over, an enthusiastic cheer was given by the hundreds of spectators gathered in that quarter, which was reiterated by the crowd less fortunate in obta ining a sight of the ceremony. Her Majesty, having placed herself under the protection of the mayor and the municipal body, a procession was formed, and moved at a slow pace by the more direct route, along Maitre vers, formerly Old Marketstreet, to the Castle-gate, the precincts of the castle. At this entrance to the ancient ducal seat, a spacious triumphal arch was erected, through which a beautiful view of the portion of the old castle, now crumbling to ruin, and covered by ivy, WAS obtained. A vast body of respectable persons had collected there, and as the royal cavalcade approached evinced their loyal senti ments by repeated bursts of applause. The triumphal arch, erected by the Duke of Norfolk, at this entrance to the castle, was almost exclusively composed of evergreens, and bore two inscriptions—" Victoria. 1846. Albert," and "Adeliza. 1139. Matilda"—in commemora tion of the present royal visit, and is reference to the former residence therein of the Empress Matilda, whose chequered fortunes obliged her, in 1139, to claim the protection of Adeliza, Queen of Henry 1., when the Empress landed in England to assert her claims against Stephen. The castle was then occupied by Queen Adeliza, from whom in the fe male line the noble house of Norfolk is descended. The mayor and municipal authorities haviug conducted her Majesty thus far, made way for the royal carriage to enter the court-yard. At 2,5 minutes past four the Queen and his Royal High ness Prince Albert alighted from the royal carriage, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk advancing to o ff er their wel come. The royal standard was immediately hoisted on the flag-staff at the summit of the ancient keep, and a salute of 21 guns was discharged from the artillery in the park to proclaim her Majesty's safe arrival. The full band of the Yeomanry Cavalry played the national anthem in honour to the presence of the Queen. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort were conducted by the noble host and hostess to the principal drawing-room, in which apartment the distin guished personages who have the honour to reside at the Castle during the royal visit had assembled to congratulate the august visitors. The Queen and Prince Albert shortly after retired to the suite of rooms apportioned for their ac commodation. The Queen was supported on the left by his Royal High ness Prince Albert, the Duke of Norfolk sitting on her Majesty's right hand, and the Duchess on the left of the Prince Consort. The dinner circle included the Duke of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marquis of Granby, the Earl and Countess of Ellesmere, the Earl and Countess of Arundel and Surrey, Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, Viscount Morpeth, Lord and Lady John Russell, Lord Brooke, Lady Caroline LevesonGower, Lord Edward Howard, the Ladies Mary and Adeliza Howard, Mr. Edward Howard Gibbons, the Mayor of Arundel, and the royal suite. The military band per formed throughout the entertainment. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of business. A sufficient number of members not having appeared in the Chamber at half an hour after the ap pointed time, Aid. SIDNEY gave notice of a motion for inflicting a penalty upon those members who absented themselves. Ald. Gums brought up the report of the committee to whom it was referred to take into considerat.an the applica tion of the ancient company called the Homers' Company, for a livery. It recommended acquiescence in the prayer of the petition, and was unanimously agreed to. CITY ImPaovammirs.—Ald. GIBBS brought up the report of the committee upon the presentment of the inquest of the Langhourn Ward. The presentment stated as follows : For a length of time the increased trace in Leadenhall-market has caused such obstruction and confusion in,Lime-street, by waggons and carts unloading and reloading, night and day, that it is notoriously one of the most dangerous and difficult thoroughfares in the City of London ; but, of late years, the evil has so much increased, that the undersigned inhabitants of Lime-street feel bound to apply to the Corporation for such alterations and improvements as may enable them to carry on their trade without danger, molestation, or incon venience. The presentment was signed by most of the firms in Lime street. The report recommended that the subject should be referred to the Commissioners of Sewers and the Improve ment Committee, which was accordingly done. C HARGES AGAINST THE COMMISSIONER OF THE CITY POLlCE.—Alderman GIRDS brought up the report of the committee to whom it was referred to take into consideration certain matters connected with the Commissioner of the City Police, including the subject of increasing the salary of that officer. The report expressed the committee's disap probation of the conduct of the commissioner in employing policemen, who were paid by the City, in the capacity of private servants, recommended that such practice should be peremptorily discontinued, as irregular, and that the sum of 1,2001. per annum should be paid to him from last Midsum mer. Aid. GIBBS moved that the report should be agreed to.—Ald. WILSON seconded the motion. Sir P. LAURIE disapproved of the report altogether, as not containing adequate condemnation of the irregularities it alluded to, not censuring the connexion of the commissioner with railway companies as a director in such speculations, and lastly, as recommending a large increase of salary, not withstanding the commissioner's admission of the correctness of the several matters of accusation alleged against him. Ald. COPELAND moved an amendment, strongly animad verting upon the conduct of the commissioner in employing men belonging to the force as his domestic servants; requiring that he should send in a return of the money received from the civic funds by those so employed • and finally express ing the necessity for the observance, b the commissioner, of the regulation enjoining . that such of cer should not be em ployed in any other business. Sir P. LAURIE seconded the amendment. Ald. WILSON said he differed from some members of the corporation in opinion as to the commissioner's qualifications for the office he held. He considered the commissioner to be a man of very extraordinary powers, and certainly to accomplish by his talents in one hour more than many gentlemen whom he knew and often heard speak could effect by all their exertions in one week..—Ald. SIDNEY and Ald. GIBBS advocated the report, and it was finally agreed to by a majority of 11 to 3.--Ald. COPELAND then stated that he should certainly move in the House of Commons for au in quiry into the proceedings of the court in the case of the commisaioner of the City police. THE DEATH FROM STARVATION IN MARTLE BONE,—Yesterday, a special meeting of the board of direc tors and guardians of the poor of St. fdarylebone took place in the board-room of the workhouse, New-road, for the pur pose of investigating the conduct of the relieving officers and all other circumstances in connexion with the inquest on Louisa Mordaunt. Sir J. Hamilton, Bart., having been called to the chair, Mr. Thorne , the secretary, opened the proceedings by reading a communication from the poor-law commissioners, in which they desired to be furnished with a statement of the facts of the case of Louisa Mordaunt, and an explanation of the course adopted by the directors and guardians in reference thereto. Mr. Langley, the inspector of permanent door was then called before the board. He admitted that in the case of the Mordaunts, he had neglected to comply with the regulations prescribed for his guidance. Sir J. HAMILTON begged to read a letter which had been placed in his hand by a member of the board, to whom it was addressed, from the curate of the district in which the Mor daunts resided, and which was of interest as bearing on the case: My dear Sir —Pephape you will excuse me attending the vestry Board of Gua rd ians ), but allow me to make my observations. The jury, I have no doubt, gave a conecientlons verdict, but it was incor rect—Louise Mordaunt gradually sunk under long illness. The family had tea shillings of me last Christmas, or during the year. I relieved them this year as late as August, strongly recommending the house, finding they became more and mare distressed. In August, however, I told her she must get on as she could during the summer, if deter mined not to go into the house, and that I would help her during the winter. I have been for months wondering that I have never seen her. After all the kindness 1 have shown the family I think her most ungrateful in keeping her distress a scent from me, and wicked in her sister to die without telling her minister, that I might have administered to her the oonsolatians of our religion and the sus tenance she required. The officer seems to have been of my o that their case only grew worse and worse, and that the ccenfo P rt in Z nourishment they needed were only to be found within the house. An extract from my book, 1846, Oct. 29, "called on Mrs. Mordaunt, found them im great distress, and gave her 2a more."—Yours, very truly, _ _ W. PTYPOLD. Mr. Pater, Drawtordatrect• w. rvlnn.u. A statement by Mr. Messer ' the assistant-overseer, vi hang been read, he was called before the board, and he stated that when the deceased and her sister applied to him for relief, they asked for bread, but said nothing about meat. If a poor person were dissatisfied with his decision, they bad the opportunity of applying to the board. Persons might have to wait at the workhouse for relief from 9 till 5. There were 200 waiting for relief at that moment, and it was im possible to attend to them all at once.—The officers having retired, resolutions were put to the effect that both Langley and Messer be discharged from their situations, for neglect and violation of duty.—A stormy discussion ensued, during which amendments were carried mitigating such re. solutions to reprimands ; upon which Langley and Messer were called in, severely reprimanded by the chairman, and enjoined to treat the out-door poor with more considera tion and humanity for the future. DESTITUTION IN ST. PANCRAS-MEETING OF THE GUARDlANS.—Yesterday a special meeting of the Board of Directors and Guardians of St. Pancras, was held in the board room of the workhouse, for the purpose of considering certain charges against the authorities of the parish, made at the coroner's inquest on the body of Joseph EWsa. Aoodw a fter rd. • EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1846. with his beck to the fire, when be suddenly planed his hood on his shirt, and discovered a large hole, and his beak severely burnt. He then dressed himself, and went to the King Harry, a public-house in the Mile-end-road, where he was told that his neck was burnt. He replied that he was not aware of the fact, and returned home. His friends then discovered that from the bottom of his back to his neck was dreadfully burnt. A surgeon subsequently attended the deceased, who lingered until Sunday last, when he expired. Verdict,." Accidental death." IRELAND. • • DUBLIN, Nov. 30. The country papers received • this morning poems. very little interest. The chief fdittlirei COnliat in details of rob beries and outrages of a minor character, not inseparable from a condition of society in which hunger is the prevailing element. Sheep axe special objects of theft, and the losses to the farmers, chiefly in the midland counties, are numerous. At a special sessio n s at Eyre Court on Thursday last, several presentments were put in, under the Malicious Trespass Act, for sheep killed or stolen. All were objected to by the magistrates, on the very intelligible ground that they were robberies and not malicious injuries Mixed with accounts of outrage are complaints against the Board of Works, for delay in the employment and reduction in the wages of labour. The complaints may be well grounded, but a more bard-worked body than the commissioners of public works there does not exist in Europe. Their toil is unintermitting, Sundays not excepted. No amount of activity could be adequate to the numerous demands on their attention, and the selection of the most urgent works in the order of their importance is all that might, reasonably be expected. Delay in the payment of wages is inseparable from the nature of task work, and the few causes of com plaint prove the excellent machinery of the board, as well as the general satisfaction of the labouring classes. The plan of the board is to allow one shilling a day on credit, as " sus tenance money," until the work be measured and calculated, which could not be done in the short interval of a week. The landed proprietors are horrified at the waste of public money on road-making, and yet they will not provide the necessary remedy. At the presentment sessions for Knockmahon, county Galway, on Thursday, Lord Clonbeack stated that " every road in the county was spoiled." Lord Clancarty was more encouraging, as funds are in hand to give em ployment for 15 weeks, making allowance for the spring employment on farm labour which would occupy a portion of January and all the succeeding mouth. The distillers share in the indignation of the practising physicians at the inexorable conduct of the chancellor. A correspondence appears in this morning's Freeman, between a Mr. O'Donovan, one of the proscribed, and the secretary to the Chancellor, in which the latter sta tes the foundation of the rule to coexist in the circumstance, that " some import ant functions of the magistracy consist in the administration of the Excise laws regulating the licenses of distillers, and in the granting retail licenses." The Irish shareholders feelverynneary under the pressure of the calls, and relief is sought in the liberality of the State, which, however, refuses to lend a favowable ear, notwith standing the assurances of perfect solvency and security. In the Railway Gazette of this morning, the demand is urged with much force, and upon a principle which, it is hoped, will attract the attention of the government—namely, That any Irish railway company basing actually expendixi . 20 per cent. of its capital upon its orig.., should be entitled to participate iu the government loans.—That after such expenditure, the government should advance 10 per cent for every additional 5 per oent. paid up by the shareholders until such time as the entire expenditure had reached a per cent. of the capital—being 40 per cent. paid by the shareholders, and 40 per cent. advanced by the government. In the same journal is a long complaint of the extortions practised by the landed proprietors against Irish railway companies, and the facilities with which attorneys for the landowners run up bills of COMM. As an instance of the first complaint, the Great Southern and Western Company, anxious to obtain possession of the land between Thurles and Cork, a distance of 77 miles, had the land valued by theirown valuator, and offered to the owners 'of the land required in Tipperary to have the value ascertained by their own valua tor acting in conjunction with the representative of the com pany. The offer was refused, the works are delayed, and not less than twenty notices for inquisitions and special juries were served last week on the solicitor of the company. YOVNG IRELAND.—I gated on Saturday that the " Young Ireland " party contemplated an appeal to public opinion. An advertisement appears in the morning papers headed, "No compromise; no place-begging ; no whig alliance," announcing a public meeting at the Rotunda, on Wednesday next. The chief orators and leaders of the party will attend. SHRIEIVALTY OP CORIE.—Mr. Jeremiah Stack Murphy, brother to Mr. qerjeant Murphy, has been appointed High Sheriff of Cork for the ensuing year. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The usual weekly meeting of the association was held to day in Conciliation Hall. ANIIILOSE SULLIVAN, Esq., Solicitor, was called to the chair. Mr. SULLIVAN, who has just been elected a member of the Town Council, aide .weed the meeting upon the subject of the recent Municipal Elections, and contended that con trary to the statement in the Nation, the influence of Mr. O'Connell had proved paramount at those elections. Mr. O'CONNELL noticed the same subject, and re ferred to the recent dinner at the Stephen's Green Club, which had been urged as an evidence of his having given up Repeal. The fact was, that he had refused to attend a dinner at the club, which had been offered to himself as a personal compliment, because repeal of the Union would not be given, whereas the late dinner at that club was a house dinner, and he could not assume to impose a toast on any gentleman at a dinner of that nature. Mr. O'Connell then read a letter from the Roman Catholic Dean of Clonmel, bearing very heavily upon the Young Ireland party, and he moved its insertion on the minutes. He proceeded to say that he had no doubt the people would adhere to him—to him who had never led them into any peril or subjected them to any penalty. He believed the people would not abandon him to join the United Irish party—he meant the Irish Phalanx. He had called them by mistake the former name; a term not quite as in applicable as it was inaccurate. Ties AccouriTa.—Mr.O'Connell, referring to the accounts, stated that they hadnow been audited for the tenth time. The books, which were moot accurately kept, were open to the inspection of anybody who chose. The vouchers were all authenticated and signed, and the balance struck ; he was sorry to say the balance was against the aksociation and in his favour ; the association owed him the sum of 97/. 103 9d. This, he repeated, was the tenth audit, and Mr. Ray was prepared to open the books to any member of the association. Mr. O'Connell again referred to the attack upon him in the Times, and charged it with having suppressed a fact to graft a lie upon it ; he had shown that the suppression on which that lie was founded was its own—it kept out of its report his contradiction, that the pauper tenantry were and then charged him with not denying it. He had showed by the reports that he had denied it. Well, did the Times since make any reparation? Not at all ; there was still the lie upon its pager-but that was quite worthy of the Times. After a short discussion on other subjects, Mr. O'Connell rose and said, their solemn and permanent duty was to do something to work out the repeal. They were there as re pealers—as uncompromising rcpealers—and though circum stances had tended to divert them, still disregarding them, they should direct themselves to working out the repeal. Well ; what were their prospects, and what their resources to work out repeal ? Their prospects were terrible—the cry of famine was upon the wild winds of heaven. Why were they so wretched? The crop failed last year in Belgium, but now plenty smiled over the land. They opened the ports there at once to every nation, for the importation of corn. They ought to have done the same in Ire!and. And if it should please Heaven to add to that affliction they now suf fered, the additional rigour of the continuance of the frost, which had now set in at an unusually early period, it was frightful to contemplate the consequences. How could he account for the different prospects of Belgium and Ireland under a similar infliction? He did so by the Union. He didn't say the Union made the crops fall ; but he did say that the Union left this country less remunerative power, and less able to bear the infliction. Every year one-fourth of the p people were, for a ortion Union of the year in waut—this after forty-sm years of ; to this 'periodical want has been added this infliction, and the whole country was a scene of famine. Mr. O'Connell contended that this was an evi dence that the Union did not benefit Ireland. Then he had the evidence of Mr. Pitt and Lord Clare, that Ireland was prosperous before the Union, and had advanced so as no other country had ever done. That was under a corrupt parliament. How much more would it advance under an Irish parliament? Was that the condition of the country since the union ? What did Lord Devon say. [Here the hon. gentleman quoted the description of the state of Ire land when famine was not abroad, and which is so well known.) That was their own report—the report of their own friends, and that the condition of the people after forty six years of union. The hon. and learned gentleman ad verted to other reports descriptive of the condition of Ire land made at various times, and to the struggle for political privileges, and asked, was it not wonderful that the English press, which was never tired of finding causes for the misery of Ireland, should never once advert to the real cause, the Union ? And what Irishman would refuse to joist for the repeal of it ? But they could not ask any one to join them unless they could point out to them the means of success. They had made great advances when dissensions broke out. It was the usual curse of Ireland. They not only separated but abused them and vilified them. Was it not an evidence that the opposition was wrong when they had every Tory with them. Was there a single Tory with old Ireland ? And then with the Tories and Orangemen at their aide they ask the shrewd people of Ireland to believe that they are the only true and honest repeaters. (Laughter.) Dir. O'Connell then again adverted to the principle involved in the secession, and the diff e rent means by which old and young Ireland sought Repeal. He read the resolutions on which the aro ciation was based, which repudiated violence, or any viola tion of any law of man or ordinance of God. The Young Irelanders came in under that principle, and how could they now pretend to justify their secession ? They could not be justified. And were not peaceful and moral means sufficient ? Was there not Catholic emancipation, Reform, Abolitim of Slavery, the Repeal of the Corn - laws — a nd how, then, could they pretend it was not sufficient ? But when did physical force succeed ? Let them show him an instance. So far were they from force or offence to any, that they did not even illumine a single window at the time they gamed Emancipation, or light a single bonfire. But the Young Irelanders now bowed to what he deemed a beastly idol ; for , in the last Nation, in an article headed by a quotation from Sydney Smith, physical force hawed avowed and the dissension was now complete and irrepar able. The people had to choose between the two. lie asked nothing of sympathy for my years, or recollection of my services ; but I ask you, as if I asked every man in Ireland—Are you for physical or moral force ? (Shouts of " For moral force.") You are right nlpdaed had pledged his legal reputation to that opialun ; had any I man put his name to a different opinion ? not one. MT ' O'Connell then adverted to the assumed name of Phalanx. stud to the assertion of the Nation that the French Ph.'hulx had prepared the way ter " the three days of July, 185. 1 ." Well Is hat was that Phalanx ? Every man of them was infidel; and the glorious mob of July celebrated their first victory by burning the library of the Archbishop of Paris. What an act for a literary Phalanx and its abettors ! (Cheers and laughter.) But what chance had the Nation Phalanx of obtaining the support of the people ? What chance o f the Catholic hishopsni treland ? They boasted that they had two priests. Why 'they opposed the bishops ; they sup ported the Mortmain clause in the Bequest Act ;'they sup , ported the Infidel Colleges Bill, which was condemned by the resolutions of the bishops. So far were they front the bishops' support. And for the second order of clergy, would they join them ? Why nine-tenths of the second order had subscribed sham the secession. There was a story in Ossian of a man who was placed upon the roof of a church at one end, with a sheaf of wheat at the other, and a needle in the centre, condemned to live for seven years on all the wheat blown from the sheaf through the eye of the needle. The Young Irelanders would get no more priests in seven years than that man would corn through the eye of the needle. But would the shrewd Irish people join them? (Cries of" No, no.") No they would not be shrewd if they did. Would the Irish Protestant landlords join them? Which of them wished to transfer hie estate to a writer in the Nation? Yet physical force meant confiscation. They would not bare the Protestant clergy with them ; and he bore testimony to the anxious humanity of the Protestant clergy of the south lin the present year and the last. They would have difficulty enough to keep order. He saw with alarm that the people were arming in the south; he could not trace it to the Young Irelanders; but wee it not certain that every man who listened to them would ge at once and buy a musket? Be came there to inquire what was to Do done for Ireland. In the first place, they would have a bill to secure the tenants' improvement. There were eleven others he would not go through. But what could they do for re peal? At the neat meeting of the corporatiou he would move a discussion upon repeal in the corporation, as was done four years ago. In the next session he was to bring the question of the effects of the union upon Ireland before parliament; and in every corporation he would en deavour to have discussions upon repeal before parliament I assembled. Let each corporation notice the effect of the union upon its own locality ; and he hoped they would rally round them many men who now were opposed through igno rance or prejudice. The hon. gentleman concluded a speech of unusual length by a peroration of considerable beauty, and sat down amidst the loudest bursts of applause, after moving that the committee take measures to have discussions upon repeal in every Liberal corporation in Ireland. Some subscriptions were then handed in, after which the repeal rent wu announced to be 461. 14s. 5d., after which the meeting adjourned. Ma. Satin O'BRIEN ON IRISH TENURES. —We now present extracts from Mr. Smith O'llrien's second letter to the landed proprietors of Ireland : In reviewing the Manifestations of opinion which the prevent exi gency has called forth, it appears to me that there has been too great a disposition to place reliance upon none one specific remedy, instead of seeking minty in a variety of remedial measures, all of which would co-operate by converging influences to absorb the unemployed labour of the country. It also seems to toe that the expedience co pre serving the labouring classes from the demoralisation attendant upon the system of pauper labour has not been sufficiently appreciated either by the government, or by those who guide public opinion. Assuming that it be possible that a meeting of Irish lanelloniti may take place early in January, and that to a committee of intelligent men !hall be delegated, by such a meeting, the task of maturing, for the consideration of parliament, measures appicable to the present circumstances of Ireland, I shall venture, by way of anticipation, to suggest • series of proposals, which, if sanc tioned by the legislature, would tend to atimuLete the em ployment of independent labour, and at the rime time greatly to augment our national resources. I begin with the anhject of tenure : • • • In nine cams out of ten the Irish landlord is either unable or unwilling to apply capital to the improvement of his estate. Hence, we perceive that in almost every part of Ireland the land is only half cultivated, whilst the labouring . ci.ouca are only halt employed. Yet it not unfrequently happens that the tenant who occupies unimproved land, pommies money which in lying idle in • bunk, or la lent to some neighbour upon very questionable security. The improvement and cultivation of the roil would fully occupy the whole population, if every acre were rendered productive to the ut most of its capability. Yet, ut the present moment, above 150,utre1 of the labouring dance are employed upon made, not a few of which are unnecessary, by means of funds borrowed upon the mortgage of your estates. • • • You let land at a rent which represents its yearly value in a Plate of partial cultiva tion. If by meant' of draining, or other improvement, your tenant is enabled to give an humped value to your state, nurely it is )(tat that be should receive conipenriatiou fur such iniproseun nt in the event of his removal, other/rim you take from him that u hich in equity belongs not to you but to him. In reference to an eviltable adjustment between landlord and tenant, a sense of interest reinforces the claims of duty. • • • 1 will not deny that it is a task of considerable difficulty to frame such an enactment as shell protect at the same time the just rights both of landlord and tenant. Min task has already Naffed the skill of two English statesmen. The bine of Lord Stanley and of Lord Lincoln have been repudiated by all parties as delusive and impracticable. • • • After much consideration, I am inclined to give a pnit,..n...e to the plan of a simple arbitration between landlord and tenant, enforced by a right of proems In the court of the asaistant-barrister for the amount of minimisation awarded by the arbitrators. • • • The principle of a tenant's compensation bill may, with great advantage, be extended to the relation between landlords who are tenants for life, and those who are entitled to the reversion of their estates. • .• • It is generady admitted that permanency of tenure tends Went:mirage the application of melte' to the improve ment of land and of buildings. There are some, indeed, who have been led to doubt the expediency of granting long leases, by having observed that, in many cares, them who have obtained bene ficial teams daring the last century were induced to cub let their farms in small dlvialorsi, at an enormous profit, to a wretched clam of nattier., and to live upon the profit rent as indolent middlenien, rather than to betake theineelven to the actual cultivation and improvement of the roil. I apprehend, however, that the result would base been very different if the tenure had been perpetual instead of terminable. • • • When the tenure is perpetual, it is the intermit of the tenant, not only to main tain the inheritance unimpaired, but also to increase its permanent value to the utmost • • • The laws of entail ut prevent in terpose impedimenta which greatly check the creation of such per manent tenures. • • • Many of you have reason to desire that the policy of creating perpetual tenures should be carried into effect to the greatest lorw4ilk, extent. A very large proportion of the estates of Ireland are held upon lessee for liver renewable for ever. Is there any posassor of this description of property who has not felt the inconvenience and insecurity which is now con nected wit'. this deseription of tenure! • • • Another session ought not to be allowed to elapse without the enactment of a law framed with a view to effect this commutation of tenure. • • • Much satisfaction and aceommodston would be afforded to the proprietors of ma'am leas than fee Ample, if they were allowed, with the sanction of a court of law, to make exchanges of property under circunuttancee which render such u thin; desirable. • • • The Last topic to which I chat claim your attention in this letter is theexpediency of augmenting the fe number of estates held in e simple. • • • Every per son who has thought or written upon our nodal condition, has observed that great evil remits from the circumatance that the land of Ireland is pomecied by a very small number of proprietors, and that of these propriekim a very large proportion are ro much crippled by ineurnbrances an to be ineapahle of performing the duties which belong to the poavesion of property. The occurrenm of the present year are about to bring to a minis the condition of embarrawied proprietor,. If they continue to cling tenaciously to the nominal poermaion of estates, the usufruct of which belongs fur the wont part to others, they will inevitably km the remnant which is now left to them. Taxation for the relief of the poor moot nee/curtly lead to thin mutt. M ith reference to this sub *t, I may observe that, although a very earnest advocate of a good cyutem of poor-laws, I have always contended that mortgagees, an nuitants, and other incinnbraneenx ought to be compelled to eantri bate their fair proportion to the alliesoment raised for the relief of the poor. • • • Let on take an example whieli, I fear, will represent the condition of a very large claw of the landW proprIMOIA of Ireland. Out of a tents' of 3,000 f. per annum, 2,0001. in paid annually to mortgagees and other incumbrantens. There remains, therefore, only a surplus of 1,0001. per annum to the nominal poreemor. This residue is at present subject to the expense of oollec lion, and to all the casualties which affect the whole estate. Superadd to these deductions a hes' y amount of taxation calculated not upon the nett, but upon the gtoto income of the proprietor, and you will perceive that if he be not utterly ruined he will at leant pay a very extravagant price for indulging in the vanity of calling himself the landlord of an rotate of 3,0 W. per annum. }low much more respectable would be his pmition if he were the actual nommen' of an unencumbered estate of I,oooe per annum, subject to the liabilities of such an income, rather than to avower an estate three times. eaten- NOV. • • • liedead of the circuitous and capenaire pro cess by which an eatate cnow brought to sale for the discharge of iocumbrances, the proprietor should be allowed to apply to a court of law in the simplest piesible manner, for Items to sell portions of hie mute sufficient to diecharge ineutn trances In the order of their priority. By bringing into the market detached portions of large ',dates, under circumstances favourable to their tole, opportunities will be afforded to those who are povemed of a moderate amount of capital to become purchasers of small sectiems of land. In some cases, the occupying tenantry would become the purchasers ; in others, flit. mortgagees; others, again, the younger children of a family would accept sections of the family estate in lieu of the respective charges upon it. By such a di vision of estates, many important sat ial benefits would be attained without any violation of the rights of property; and even in those eases in which the beetlon of land put up for sale may fall into the hands of a wealthy purcharer,himaelf the proprietor of a large estate, a greidadvantage will have been attained by transferring Its poweseion from a proprietor who is unable to teeter its remounts, to one who can command the capital necessary for improving ita cultivation, and ameliorating the condition of its occupying tenantry. A abort bill woo Introduced at the close of last session, by Mr. Morgan John O'Connell, to (militate the sale of land for the discharge of imam brances. Ido not profess to be able to judge whether it la entirely free from objectioe ; but its provisiona appear to me to be well calcu lated to serve as a bonds for a future act of parliament. PROVINCIAL. REPRESENTATION 017 - IirNCTESTER.—MANCHESTER, TVESDAY EVENING.—The requisition of Lord Lincoln has only received an accession of about 12.5 names to-day, on 'Change, though this being the principal market-day, when the manufacturer from the country, who are out-voters, come in, was looked forward to with much expectation by the Tory-Whig coalition. It has evidently caused much disappointment, and doubts are expressed whether the par ties will proceed to act upon it. Our correspondence yes terday said there would be a difficulty in bringing the number of requisitionists up to two thousand. At present, though four days have elapsed since it was submitted for signature, the number has not reached 1,200, according to Tory rumours, which must be received of course with some allowance. .VEKSHIR.E. SHORT TIME FACTORY MEETING AT LEEDS.—On Mon day evening, a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Leeds, convened by the mayor, in compliance with a numerously signed requisition, comprising the names of several members oi the town council, and members of the medical profession, was held in the Music Hall, the largest room in the town, "to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a legislative enactment to limit the hours of labour for women and young persons employed in factories, to ten hours per day for five days in the week, and eight hours on the Saturday." The Rev. Dr. Hook, vicar of Leeds, took the chair.— After much animated speaking, rebolutions in accordance with the requisition were unanimously adopted. bWirollar.+l r.

Cucek v. CREMEs..—PILAcTILS—ATTACHMENT—IRRI OULASITY.—This was a motion by way of appeal from an order of the Vice-Chancellor. Ihe bill was filed on the first of April last, and the defendant, not being able to put in his answer on the Ist of June, was about to apply to the master for further time for answering. The plaintiff agrecd to give a month. The maste rs ' clerk in drawing the order, dated it the 4th of June, and gave the month from that day. which would expire on the 2nd of July. The pla'n applied for and obtained an order for an attachment, far want of an answer on the 30th of June, the month which he had agreed to give, having expired on the 28th of June An application to discharge the order for attachment was refused by the Vice.Chancelkr, with costs. Mr. J. Parker and Mr. Daniel for the appeal motion, said the defendants had not obtained the order for time till the 11th of June, and then notice of the time granted was given to the plaintif f , and he never made an objection to the order until he came to apply for the attachment.—Mr. Holt and Mr. Kinglake opposed the motion, and contended that the plaintif f was justified in issuing the attachment after the ex piration of the month, from the Ist of June, according to the agreement of both parties. The Lord Chancellor was of opinion that after the plain tiff's acquiescence in the order which was obtained, he acted with bad faith in issuing the attachment ; and it ought to be discharged on the ground of irregularity. The plaintiff's proper course would have been to apply to discharge the order for time.—Order for attachment discharged. Before the Master of the golla. BLEIMINAOPP O. BLENI,I:OSO7P.
