The Irish nation had peculiar claims on our grati tude. We were all Englishmen; and the misfortune of that country was equally the misfortune of this. As to the distress of Ireland, there were in the room melancholy proofs of its lanientable existence. No man should be withheld from giving his mite, be cause he could not afford such large sums, as some individuals might give. Mr. ROWCROFT said, that Ministers had not at all been consulted as' to the objects of this Meeting; but lace last night Mr. Peel .sent down his offer of sub scription of £2OO ; the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Earl of Liverpool, like sums; and this was a spontaneous movement on their parts. Mr. T. WILSON apologised for the slight mistake. Mr. T. REID, M.P. said, it would he wasting time to do more than to move a Resolution.

Mr. Rowcaorr then read the subscription list.

Mr. S. Rica, M.P. said, he had a few days ago.re ceived two notes of £lOO each, for the relief of he land. He had remitted £5O to the County of Clare, and £5O to the County of Limerick ; and he had no doubt it would be bestowed with benevolence and economy. He had also received £5O through Mr. Sykes, for this great object. These feelings would cement the people of both countries together. Sir E. O'BRIEN said it had been stated that he bad exaggerated the situation of the South of Ireland ; but he read extracts of letters from Magistrates, shell in that distress and famine were rapidly spread ing. The potatoes, when sown, were dug up and eaten, ‘ and the cattle were watched at night, to pre vent them from being killed. One had no rents to receive, but, instead of that, he was obliged to send his tenants oats, to keep them from starving. If the potatoes were sown, the people must starve; if eaten, what was to become.of them? A Gentleman called n him yesterday, and told him a benevolent indivi *al had a cargo of meal and rice, which he intended to s to the county of Clare. The CHAIRMAN then said, that the business of the day was now over, as far as mutual communication went. He wished it, however, to be recollected that it was his mistake that any communication had taken place with Government, except the generous subscrip tions of some of the individuals of it.

FOR PRESERVING THE TEETH AND GUMS. 1 1 H E VEGETABLE TOOTH-POWDER has so long been in general use that it is unnecessary to offer any further recommendation of it. Composed of Vegetables, without the admixture of any mineral or pernicious ingreditrnt whatever, it is free from the usual objection against the use of other Dien ri7rices. Its detersive power is just sufficient to annihilate those eestructive particles which adhere to the Gums and the interstices cf the Teeth, healing injuries in the former, and promoting a enamel, where it has been injured or corroded, on the latter. t likewise imparts a firmness and healthy redness to the Gums, ”d if used regularly, will preserve the Teeth in a sound state to cid age.

" But the most distressing part of our situation remains untold. Our peasantry are not merely distressed, but starving. Ytur friend E. and myself rode yesterday a circle of about eighteen miles, and the scenes we witnessed were truly terrific. In some parts the bark of the elm and birch trees have been already stripped off. In the neighbourhood of Charles's little box, the young wheats have been repeatedly sheared and eaten, as you would spinage, and even the primrose leaves have been carefully collected. Notwithstanding the many reports, Ido nor, from personal experience, think that our are half as bad as repre tented. There is, indeed, much despondency, and a good deal of petty stealing, but it is the belly, not the bead or heart, which is the instigator. We are beginning to be greatly alarmed at the frequent appearance of pyrexist ; many cases are decidedly ty phoid. We yesterday witnessed one in a young woman of a, in which the petechial symptoms of the worst kind of typhus were but too evident. I fear it was too late, but we immediately, sent wine, mnriatic acid, &c. From the almost total want of every species of nutritive food, nervous fevers of a very malig nant type must be expected, and unless assistance can be imme diately given, this beautiful country must be depopulated by pestilence and famine. For Goo's sake do what you can in Eng land to assist us. I hope the worst will be over in about three months, but it is a very low estimate to say, that in this and the neighbouring counties 200,000 are without any means of ex istence at all, and that there are above double that number who cannot obtain food above once in the 24 hours, and that too of a very miserable kind."—The Resolution was then agreed to. Mr. J. SMITH, M.P. moved a Committee to manage the subscriptions. He knew that the distress , of Ire land had not been exaggerated ; but if any doubt ex isted, there were Gentlemen in the room who could bring proof of it. Our brethren in Ireland were literally perishing by starvation and famine.—Agreed to. Mr. ROWCROFT said, there were 40 names for the Committee; but he thought they should have leave to add to their number, because their names and in fluence and labours out of the Committee would be of infinite use in this,cause. Mr. T. WILSON said, he was sure they would all feel grateful at the attendance of the Archbishop of, Canterbury; and he hoped his Grace would allow his name to be added to the Committee. The Aacuattump said, he feared he should be a useless Committee-man ; but he should allow it to be placed on the Committee, if it was thought conducive to the great end now in view—(Applause). The Marquis of CONING/IAM also allowed his name to be added to the Committee. Mr. R. H. MARTIN proposed, that the Lord Mayor and Aldermen should be also added to the Committee. He proposed, that Soup Societies, and clear walls, should be introduced, as on a former occasion in this country, into the families of the poor in Ireland. Mr. Rowcaorr stated that a Lady, whose name she wished concealed, had freighted a ship with four tons of potatoes, and ten barrels of herrings, ao be landed at the first port in Ireland. Mr. OWEN said, the Bishop of Norwich could not be present, on account of his extreme age, but his heart was with them. The LORD MAYOR Aldermen BROWN, GARRZTT, VRNABLES, &C. the Earl of BLEBINTON, J. S. Rum, Esq. M.Y. &c. were added to the Committee. Mr. BALDWIN said, he was a Magistrate in the dis turbed districts, and he knew there were plenty of provisions, but the poor had no means of purchasing them. It would be much better to send them money, for that would be of more service than to send them. provisions. • Mr. MARON offered the heartfelt thanks of his country to that great City which had banqueted Emperors, and relieved starving Russia, the ra vaged Germany, and plundered Poland, stretching forth her hand to relieve Ireland, who had fought with her, and had she fallen, would have shared in her destruction. It was gratifying to find that there was no political or religious feeling mixed up with this. • Het hoped that England and Ireland would long COURT (IF ALDERMEN, MAY I. After some routine business, Mr. Alderman Loess presented a Petition, signed by Mr. S. Dixon Mr. Crocker, Mr. D e p ut y Brook, and 41leurs. R. Smith, Gibbs, and Stuart, praying t&at Mr. Denman might not be sworn in as Common Serrant, on the ground that, by a bye-law passed in the time of Philip and Mary, such Officer is directed to be chosen out of the eight City Counsel. The Petitioners farther prayed, that Mr. Bolland might be sworn in, he being the only eligible candidate. Alderman Lucas declined moving any thing upon the Petidon. The Petitioners were then called in, and asked if they bad anything to add; upon which Mr. Dixon descanted on the importance of the law, and disclaimed all private animosity. Sir JAMES SHAW ged if the objection was made at the time of the election.—Mr. Dixon," Certainly not." • Alderman Baows—" Is Mr. Bolland in attendincer Mr. Dixon—" The Petitioners have taken op this matter in dependently of Mr. BoHand." Sir Wm. CuLTl♦ — " That is no answer." • On the question being repeated, Mr. Dixon said, " I ha:vie be is not." The Petitioners were then ordered-to withdraw. Sir Wm. Comm rose ' but was stopped in his exordium by Alderman Wood. who observed there was no questing before the Court. Alderman LOCA.! having declined making any motion on the subject, Alderman WOOD said, the Court had nothing to do with the Petition. The election was in the Common Count% and this Court only acted ministerially in administering the oath. Alderman lhowN coincided in this opinion. Aldermen C. SDI= and Vintast.as thought the Law °Meets should be consulted. Sir James Snaw said, it did not appear this antiquated bye law had ever been acted upon, and be conceived the Court could not take notice of it on the present occasion, but should pro ceed to swear in Mr. Denman. Alderman Blown strongly deprecated the conduct of the Pe. tide:men. It was an attempt to revive an obsolete law, made nearly 300 years ago, which had never been acted upon within the memory of man. Certain it was that it had been violated in repeated instances.
