ttey ought an to be at lig. ti to ►in and his Seconder for the able Manner in which they had introduced the Resolu tions to their notice ; with respect to the latter of those gentle awn, though be agreed with him in many of the points which be bad urged on the meeting, there were some in which he was obliged to disagree with him ; he might also, perhaps, agree with Sir Thomas Beevnr in his wish for Radical Reform (a laugh and applause.) This and other points might be in unison with his sen timents, but he must be allowed to say, that at en events they were foreign to the objects of the meeting (bear, bear!) For the ex ertions that were now making for the repeal of this lees he *as bound to return his thanks to the yeomanry of Em bed, and to the county of Norfolk in particular. He knew t►at it was thought by some that the repeal of the Beer Tait would be still more beneficial to the poor than that of the Malt Tax. To hope for the repeal of both duties was too moth, for, together, they amount to a large sum; and the question, there fore, wale, whether they would not be more likely to obtain the repeal of one than of both? In order to obtain that, be believed that it Was only necessary for them and the yeomanry of England generally to resolve to have a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together—(Cheers). The other commies had but to follow the 'sample of Lincolnshire and Norfolk, and then he should like to see the Minister who would dare refuse what was the joint request of the pride of l'ngland—(Applause). In the removal of all grievances, however, there must be a beginning, and be therefore gave the preference to the Malt Tax over the Beer. Mr. T. Salmon (and he trusted that tha gentlemen was present to beer him) bad at tacked the agriculturists of England as a selfish body ; and as he considered himself as a member of that body, he was sorry to bear it stigmatised la such a way, for be trusted that the agriculturists of England had never been actuated by any other feeling than the good of the community at large. Mr. Salmon, however, had told them that it was their selfishness which made them pray for the repeal of the Malt Tax, when that of the Beer Tax would be so much more beneficial to the poor. But, being thus attacked for selfishness, let them for a moment inquire who Mr. Salmon was. That he was a very respectable person he had no reason to doubt; but the question was, whether he was not connected with one of the greatest breweries in Enghnd (yes, yes! and applause)! He would tell them why he gave the prefer. ence to the repeal of the mak tax over that of beer. It was be cause be was old enough to remember when all the poor of the kingdom were able to brew their own beer. Up to the year 1750, when the population of England and Wales was no more than 6,476,000, there was as much malt as now, when the population amounted to thirteen millions—(Hear, hear !) Surely this was sufficient evidence that the beer did not contain the malt that it ought—(Great applause.) They were told by interested persons, that if the beer tax was taken off, they would supply it to the poor for a penny a pot less ; but did they tell them that they would make it better, and promise not to use the skill of the the ntist in its composition ?—(A laugh and applause.) In his opinion, the removal of the Beer Tax, would only be a premium for bad beer. Now let them consider the Malt Tax. He could remem ber the time when every poor man brewed his own beer—nor was it only his beer that he thus procured—in addition to that there were the grains with which he could fatten a pig, or which enabled his wife to rear a few fowls; beside this, there was a little yeast with which he was able to make his own bread ; for all which reasons, he thought the Repeal of the Malt Tax preferable to that of beer (applause). Perhaps ft might be contended that this repeal would not give rise to all these opera tions in favour of the poor ; but he was sure that it would—for if they could not do these things singly, at all events they would be able by clubbing together to the number of fifteen or twenty (hear, hear r). It was a balm and cordial to any man's conscience to think that he bad not been accessary to the evils out of which the distress of the country had grown. He bad already lived to a great age, and had long had the honour of representing that County in Parliament ; but be could conscientiously say, that in all that time be had never given a vote that had pressed upon the country (ap plause). It was in that proud Walden that be stood, and no Com moner of England could stand in a prouder; and as loos as he bad the honour of representing that County Is Parliament, he should pursue the same course (cheers). Mr. Woossonss withed to explain the gross& upon which his Resolutions went. It was true that the produce of the Malt Tax was only four and a half millions, but there was no doubt that its repeal would go to affect twenty Malian more of the taxes under the heads of the Deer Tax, the Spirit Tas, the Sugar Tax, and the Tea Tax. As this was the case, it would sorely be better to go to the main evil at once. Instead of standing only on the threshold (applause). The only way in which they could escape the dangers which threatened the social system of England—the only way in which they could avoid circumstances as dreadful in their origin as they were desolating in their consequences, was by adopting seine measures which should keep up the prices at home, at the same time that it lowered them with foreigners. We are requested by a Member of the Committee of Requisi. doubts to state, that during the =Mallon. after the passhig of Mr. Bniwer's Resolutions, a motion was proposed and carried relative to a Petition. All that we can say is, that we were within a yard of the Chairman, and heard nothing of it. THE EVENING STAR. LO N DON. MONDAY, JANUARY 18.

There have been so many conflicting reports relative to the new throne, which it is stated is to be raised in Greece, that we have preferred to let some of these sub side, rather than augment their number, without the power of stating something on better authority than our contemporaries. We are now, however, in possession of that higher authentication, and we can announce that Prince LEOPOLD of SA XE COBOURO is certainly destined to go to Greece. But it is not as KlNG—the Royal Brotherhood, as the Examiner calls them, have been too jealous of that equality—but as PRINCE PROTECTOR, that Prince LEOPOLD goes. As far as ENGLAN D—which means, the Duke of WEL LINGTON—is concerned, it is understood that the thing is settled. Having arrived at this point, it is worth while to ex amine the validity of an argument which has been much used lately by the partisans of the Grecian SOVEREIG N elect, in favour of his retaining his English pension : for it cannot be doubted, that the Pam cz's possession of such a splendid annuity, has gone for something, in influenc ing the choice of those who have arrogated to themselves the right of choosing. It is maintained by the Leopoldians, that to deprive his Royal Highness of this sacred income, .which he enjoys in right of his lamented wife, would be a downright injustice and a robbery—an invasion of private property, not to be' tolerated where a vestige of morality still lingers. In fact, it would be the same thing, as taking from a hus band in private life the settlement made on him—in case of her death—by his wife at the time of marriage. But we must beg to dissent from the Leopoldians. The cases in no manner assimilate. The settlement which was made on the Prince LEOPOLD of Saxe-Cobourg was not a private settlement in any sense: it was contem plative of a great public contingency, by which—according to the laws of nature—he was destined to share in the magnificent fortunes of his partner. The CROWN of EgGLAND was to descend upon her head, over whom he had obtained conjugal authority ; and in the reflection of this reversionary splendour, he acquired an adscititious— but dependent—dignity. For these considerations— public, belonging to the State, but in no way analogous to matrimonial contracts in subject life—he was in vested specially with suitable circumstance and pro- vision : in contemplation of his wife's hereditary sceptre, specially. She died—the contingency was removed with her: and that, which in the prospect of a now impossible exaltation had been conferred on him— specifically to render him par solio—reverted natu rally to the conferring power, the COUNTRY. It is absurd to argue this case on any other merits. Look at the parliamentary provision granted to our own PRINCES of the Blood : is that sixty-thousand pounds a year ? Is it even thirty ? Is it even twenty ? Why, then—on what grounds is this alien graft upon our own sufficiently burthensome Family—we do not say this invidiously— to be fattened upon a pension exceeding in amount any three of .theirs? It will not bear to be argued. It will be collected without any difficulty from these re marks,thatfre advocate—at any rate—the shaving down of this Royal Widower's annuity to a size conformable with those of the other Princes round him ; Princes, whose birth is both royal and English, while his is compara tively obscure, and foreign. If he go to reign over Greece as PRINCE PROTECTOR, we think it pro bable that the Greeks themselves will make it a condition of his Sovereignty that he shall not be the pensioner of England at all : we think, also, that in these times, it may be made a question, fairly, whether he is to continue to add so heavily to our insufferable public burdens. Since the determination of Don PEDRO to assert the rights of his daughter has become known, the Journals of MIGUEL have been more than usually assiduous in their efforts to persuade Ministers to recognise the Usurper, and, as usual, to prove that be is the most popular Prince tn Europe! Without attempting to contradict or contest the latter assertion, alike con sistent with fact and reason, our object in these short remarks, is to notice the exultation experienced by the enemies of freedom at that passage of President JACK sox's speech, which relates to his entering into diplo matic relations with the tyrant of Portugal. When this fact was first announced in Europe, we •did not hesitate to de plore the act as impolitic in itself and an ominous example to the old world. We now tell the writer of a Morning Paper, who so exultingly quotes the PREsIDtWT's Message, that instead of such a policy as he has adopted, changing our opinion on a question which; all Europe had long before decided in a totally differentway, w onLC regard it as another proof of the fallibility .of. Inman na ture. We contend, that the Cabinet a Washington 'has'cor;unitted e gross error, and eomproleised the na tional honour, in • treating with the lf/itirper, while repeated insults tb the American flag, the iruelest treat ment Of American subjects, aid freqUent plunder of American property, remiined unredressed. Of these acts towards the flag and subjects of the United States,we have had ocular proofs ; and when their unprovoked violence is considered, it- is utterly impossilde to conceive on what principle the policy of that government is foinded. Ha ying given our.epinion without reserve, we shall add that whatever the state :of Europe may be, the time Les not yet arrived when the friends of freedom and buntimiti are to regulate their notions of eqUity anct•justicir by * dictum of transatlantic statesmen and . politicians, 'Snitch .lase fol low their example, when it is opposed. to the Meet obvious. principles of reason and propriety.. • . • • • With regard to the Usurper, Sad the Itatiau by which be is sustained; we now think ei have Amt.—main who „Li e d p o i sor through fiud, and malitaiaed *Nlgb vlsbutoo sad. luluotios, alight continuo their gouty ono for a time. But - disk ultimate fall could uoverbo doubtful. Estopolltio soon the elects otuourphdbilad apostolical rule in Portugal. The lesson will not be thrown away, and we shall await the result, convinced in the meantime, that, in rescuing an oppressed people from thraldom, it will prove highly beneficial to the general interests of freedom. While it is not improbable but that one or two of his Ministers are still so blind to the dictates of truth and justice, as to imagine that the continuance of the present deplorable state of things in Portugal is conducive to any thing but misery and rain, it is most gratifying to know, that, as in the case of Prince LEOPOLD'S elevation to the throne of Greece, his MAJESTY is unequivocally favourable to the claims of Donna MARIA. Aware of this fact, so honourable to the sentiments and character of our most gracious Sovereign, great pains are taking to co ntradict it in the journals of Ass Ecs. But it is in vain for these panders to tyranny and persecution to attempt any longer to deprive the King of a new title to the affection of his subjects, and the admi ration of Europe. What might not be expected from such sentiments, were they unshackled by the trammels which have so often interfered with the happi ness and prosperity of England ? - - The Dublin Register of Saturday contains a letter from Mr. O'CoN NELL, announcing his intended depar ture for London to attend his Parliamentary duty, to which he proposes to devote his time during the whole session ; and also his intention to become a candidate for the County of Clare on the next general election. This announcement will surprise those persons who have read the letters of Mr. STEELE and of Mr. O'GORMAN MAHON, in which they have asserted that Mr. O'CoN NELL is bound by a positive promise to support them in their aspirations to the representation of that 'county, and that he formally pledged himself not to seek for himself a repetition of that honour. The following is an extract from the letter : TO THE PEOPLE OP THE COUNTY OF CLARE. Parliamentary Intelligence Office, 26, Stephen-street, 15th January, 1330. My FRI EN DS AND BROTHERS—I take up the pledges which I made you when I called on you to repose in me the high and awful trust of being your representa tive. I will endeavour, honestly, to redeem those pledges. For this purpose I propose to leave Dublin on the 26th of this month. Igo off at the commencement of Term, and I shall be absent for two, if not three entire Terms. Men will sneer at me for talking of these sacri fices to public duty who, themselves, seek their own indi vidual advantage in all their political exertions. I rea dily consent, and will proceed to do my duty to you with alacrity, zeal, and perseverance. Let me, first, solemnly assure you of my deep sense of affectionate gratitude to my constituents. My heart swells with grateful affection, end my eye moistens while I reflect on the kind, the generous confidence you have reposed in me. Believe me, I will endeavour to show my gratitude by the devotedness with which I will attend to the interests of our country. I will begin my canvass for the next election the mo ment Igo into Parliament—l will canvass you by my votes, my exertions, and my services. If you find men better suited by information, knowledge of business, and patriotism, to serve you, I will readily yield to such men ; but if you prefer me, if I retain my place in your esteem, I will cling to you with the tenacity with which I have all my life attached myself to whatever I deem useful to Ire land. MEN OF CLARE, AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT DE SERT ME, I WILL NOT DESERT YOU. My present object is that we should all prepire for the ensuing parliamentary campaign. lam prepared on my part ; let there be no want of readiness on yours. My parliamentary duties will naturally divide them selves into two distinct branches. The first relates to your local concerns—the second to those mighty interests in which your prosperity is involved, with that of all Ireland. Mr. O'Cow ELL then proceeds to enumerate the local objects, viz.—the opening of the navigation of the Fer gus to Ennis, so as to make that town a sea-port--an asylum harbour on the Western Coast—and a canal from Galway to Limerick. The objects of general im portance are—the total abolition of tythes, and the alteration of the grand jury laws. The letter concludes thus : " My nut letter shall embrace other topics of a local as well as of a general nature. You will find, as I said once before, perhaps, an unprofitable, but certainly a hardworking servant, in your devoted and ever faithful, DANIEL O'CONNELL." TwELvx o'CLocz.

The De putation was in:roduced to the Noble Duke, who was ac companied by the Secretary of State for the Colonial De partment and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The in terview with the Minister lasted a considerable time. Viscount Si DMOUTH had an interview with the Duke of WELLINGTON on Saturday, and also on Friday.

At the funeral of the late Mr. DAME, R.A. during the performance of the service over the grave, in the vaults of St. Paul's, Sir T. LAWRENCE was observed to look wistfully about him, as if contemplating the place as that to which he himself would some day be borne ; 'and when the service was concluded it was remarked that he mopped to look at the inscription on the stone which covers the body of his predecesor, Wrar.
