' . : t •:.10` " We have accordingly, sir oe your 'Majesty's depeghwes ' studiously accommodated ourselies to the spirit of your gem. clout injunction, apprehensive that the suggestion of even just complaint might be imputed to us as a violent's of your commands. We have refrained from the assemblies we • were wont to hold for the discussion of our grievances and our prospects of their redress. We have passed o'er in si- Pam occurrerces which at other periods would have ex cited and justified expostulation, and In every respect eons petted ourselves with such strict adlietenee to your Majes is 'is &etre. as to render It impossible to attribute to us the failure of your endeavours for the establishment of concord among your subjects; but notwithstanding our earnest end sincere co-operation, yout Majesty must have learned that your gracious endeavours have completely failed. Never was there a period when the animosity of your opponents mss more vehement and viruleot than the present. A por tly° of your subjects professing exclusive loyalty to secure exstusive sway, deriving from lope monopoly a pernicious' a^d unconstitutional influence totally disproportioneci to their intrinsic weight and merits, and confederated together. by associations formed neon principles of hostility to the great majority of the Irish people, have openly arrayed themselves easiest your Majesty's pacific purposes, and P to evinced that the whole weight and influemee of your Government when opposed. by their apprehension for the co-Ainuance of their domination, are unable to procure an Lepartial administration of the law; the consequence has hero. that we have lost all confidence in the sufficiency of year public tribunals to protect us from the violence of party ; the sacrifice of justice to the purposes of faction. Pave o late been so flagrant and so frequent, that, when po htlesl end religious animosities are involved, we no longer pace reliance upon the sanctity of a Juror's oath. •• We forbear from entering Salo the details, and insisting upon the many and recent examples of this melancholy truth ; nor do we stale these grievances in order to excite your Majesty's diepl ea sure against any class of your subjects, much less against individuals ; our wrongs are not submitted to your Majesty from any vindictive or angry feeling; they are offered to your consideration for the higher purposes of redress ; we know that religious and political animosities combined, still mislead the judgment sod pervert the feel ince of men in other respects wise and good, and while we unfold those calamities of our country, which recent occur rences have done no more than present in a novel shape, our only object is to impress upon your Majesty the indispensa ble necessity of abolishing those distinctions by which one portion of the inhabitants of Ireland are committed in inter est, and therefore arrayed in passion against the other; it seems to us that perpetual animosities and contention are the inevitable resolts of our political condition. We see no room t.. hope that men will cultivate mutual harmony and good will who are told by the laws that they are proper oh pets for mutual hatred and distrust ; but such is the 14.8300 of the lams as they now stand. They openly tell the Protes tant that the Roman Catholic is an enemy, and they suggest to the Roman Catholic that his welfare is incompatible with the stability of the State. " Sins, if this part of your Majesty's dominions were in a stateofreasonatleprosperity,thedangerofincurringunknowe erilc, end of losirg suhatential good, might with some show of planeibility be objected to a change fog, our relief; but your Majesty mn.t be aware that the state of Ireland Is so deplorable. that it is almost impossible to make it worse the Government of our country has utterly failed to attain the eurposes for which mankind hath combined in the social lea rue—the upper and lower classes every where divided le real:sir and object : the Gentry and Peasantry bear to each other a most alarming disproportion in point of numbers, end both hare been deprived of the influence of a system than which nothing can he more deteriorating to the human character of the qualities necessary for the maintenance of order. If the tendency of that system is to render the upper messes ignorant, corrupt, tyrannical and servile, It is no wonder that it should render those who are beneath them fe rocious, turbulent and idle ; in the Northern districts despe rate affrays, in which numbers lose their lives. ere consteut ly recurr ng ; the Southern provinces are wasted by en In sorrectioe. marked with the most savage features ; that In surrection has now endured for half a century. and is render ed more terrific every day by the increase of Population.— The food of the great bulk of the People is the worst, the poorest sod the most precarious upon which lemon life can be sustaieed—in their raiment and habitations they are in ferior to tee most savage tr.bss of the known world—there is no cspital, credit, or wholesome enterprise amongst us—our energies are either dormant or only awakened for crime and faction. Every native, whose business or necessities do not bind him to the soil, flies this unhappy Islid—no stranger Mill trust his property and person to a Country which is torn by feuds scarcely short of civil wars. This condition of things admits of no alteration for the worse, and repels ell application of the common arguments against innovation— no evil apprehended from our Emancipation can be compar ed with the calamities of our present state, end yet these ca lamities are not more indigenous to ours than to other Coun tries—they are the result of that system of misrule, which has existed here for eenturies, and the main vice of that sys tem, is the relation of hostility to the Law in which it places the majority of the People. Although we may expose our selves to the rebuke of those who will not distinguish be tween the causes and of the objects of Insurrection, we do not hesitate to say, that the atrocious infractions of social order, which occur both in our Northern and Southern Pro sinces, are to be attributed to the influence of bad Govern west or bail morals, and we are equally sure that the worse p a rr of not bad Government, and the occasion of a great portion of its other pernicious qualities, are to be found In the code enacted against our Body. " Sire, that Code hes not attained the ends for which it was designed, and as it how stands, it never can—lt was designed for the reduction of the Population of this country to the Established Religion, and experience has shown that it is unablelo Gagne' this object—there can no longer be any question whether ii is desirable or pr. cticab!e to com pel the Inhabitants of this Country to renounce the Roman Catholic Religion. The 'only question is, whether taking It for granted, that that Religion will continue to be pro fessed and believed by more that. six millions out of seven, it is wiser to repel thoie iustitptions of their Country by millions from the contumely.arld injury• than to attach them to its welfare by ihe common ties of pride and interest. . we recel • /0 engin( the Throne, end we herein all tiles citerimbed.the expiete lion, that we should be indebted to your Aajolty's. esprstal binivoinci and magnanimity for the removal of our re maining diSabillties,..

SOCIETY Fownizira - orweriUrtorßiLialOtis •• ." • LI KERTY. ' • t • . . On Siatirday. , a.niost nemerons'end respectable meeting of Abe nienthers s uf _this Society took place at the City, of London Tome. ~ .Lord DAMS in the Chair. . The SECACUS! (Ur. Patna) proceeded to report, but , ".,. ...t . The CHAIRMAN sigietted the postpo p ement of 'that office, v rite Principal Se . eretari, was pre : . ' *alio %hake some observations upon it, and could Com bige them witk the matter contained in the report. Mr. MIAs : then addressed the assembly. He went into a statementof the grievances which. the Protestant Dissenters suffered, and - yet had to loffstr, from the state of the law with respect. to their marriages, baptisms, foe noels, .aud.the regostaiessof their chapels; also from the arbiteary and unequal judgments of magistrates upon cases of offence taken before them by dissenters: also from the wtill more arbitrary conduct of some of the clergy, in refusing the ceremonies of the church to per sons of the dissenting persuasions, on pretences con nected with their religious habits. We can only briefly allude to the instances upon which he remarked. first was that of the Rev. Mr. Prior had refused to suffer, a child of a Dissenter to be interred in the church-yard. because it had not received baptism in the church. An altercation went on between him and the parishioners for six weeks. At last the clergyman, finding that he had ex ceeded all pretences of authority, agreed to let it be buried in theilinrch-yard, hut refused to allow the bell to be tolled, or the coffin to be taken within the church, or the funeral ceremony to be read over the remains. At last he consented for the bell to be tolled, but be would allow no more than two strokes of it, and atm,- lutely refused to let the coffin enter the church, or the ceremony to be read. Tie case being made known to the Society, and as it embraced so many topics of right affecting Christians of every denomination, the Commit tee resolved to make it the subject of the strictest investi gation before the Ecclesiastical Court. He mat leave to say, that those Courts were sadly deficient in affording redressing for these grievances; for it happentied that the Chancellors of the diocese were deeply interested in the object of discussion ; it was in vain to appeal to the aggret.sers themselves for justice, and to no higher Court could they , make their complaint wituout the con sent of these jortsdlctions. The Lest class of eases al luded too as that respecting riots in dissenting chapels, to prevent or punish which they had appealed in vain to the local ma,istrary. One case was taken before Mr. Battles, member tor Cerfe Castle, but he dismissed it upon the plea that the service had not commenced when the disturbance took place, and therefore they could not complain of any interruption. In some instances redress had been refused by the magistrates, on pretence that the register of the chapel which was the scene of the outrage complained of had not been depos ited with the Clerk of the Peace, as well as with the 'ocesian Court. The other grievances to which be referred, and upon which he mentioned the state of the law, were attempts to extort Sunday tolls, contrary to the words of the statute—attempts to assess dissenting chapels to paro chial rates—refusals of parish relief to members of the dissenting body, on account of their religious opinions, He admitted that these grievances were in few instances countenanced, either by the state of the law, or the min isters of government, who had, upon application to them, shown much willingness to secure the redress of their complaints ; but he complained of the continual meddling and mischievous interference of the clergy of the establishment, especially those of them who happen ed to be also in the magistracy. He informed the meet ing that there were measures in preparation to be laid before the legislature for their sanction, for the better securing of the rights of the Protestant Dissenters in all those points in which the law might be considered deficient. A series of resolutions, of corresponding tendency with the speech of the Secretary, were then moved, and sup ported by appropriate speeches from many of the leading ministers of the dissenting churches. The Rev. MATTHEW WILES proposed the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman, and, agreeably to hi* direction, the whole assembiy stood up to show their unanimity. Lord Dacia returned thanks in a speech fall of liberal professions. He said it must give them great pleasure to observe, that while their grievances, which bad been stated to them in a speech of great ability and intelli gence, were the effects of individual arrogance and op pression, the claims of the Dissenters were countenanced by the (los e rinnen t—by all the respectability and intellect of the country—and by the state of the law, except in some few instances. in which he hoped to see sufficient reinedi.s spttedily applied. He trusted that the time was net far off when the word " toleration," and all the enactinen.s connected with it, would be expunged from the statute-book, and give place to a declaration of entire and unqualified reli g ious liberty. The Meeting,whicli had assembled even at an early hone of half-past 8 o'clock, and continued till a quarter atter 4, then separated.

By it all the laws. now in existence respecting masters, workmen. and wages, 46 io number will be repealed, and a new Bill framed out of the whole. By this Bill a proviso will be made that neither masters aid workmen shall be indicted for conspiracy in disputes respecting work and wages; the penal clauses of the Combination Acts will not be re-enacted ; but the covenant part, as far as regards masters entering into legal bonds to bind themselves, will be prevented, by declaring them null and void ; this extends, of course. to workmen's bonds. The laws of Arbitration will un dergo a great revision, as will the laws of Ember/AP tient. The laws of Hiring and giving out work Will be rendered more simple and free from dispute ; and to sum up all. a coda will be put into the hands of the poor man, a hich will cost about eight-pence or ten-pence, and will teach him the whole laws by which he is hound as a workman. The Bill wasdrawn up upon a principle of libe rality and justice to both master and workmen; the pro. perry of the master is protected, as well as his real inte rest, while the journeyman is freed from a number of foolish, though oppressive restrictions, which are seldom acted upon but in moments of irritation. and for pm rpoees of revenge. In fact, it is intended to prevent the Bill from being called either a Journeymsn's or Master's Bill. No restrictions are imposed on either party, but what every well meaning honest man would abide by. Its great object is to prevent disputes, by providing easy ' and summary remedimand by regulations which prevent them in easbrio.—(Cosestri Herald.) MAILS. DVI. I All. DIM.

Doting the last fortnight the House of Commons has continued to occupy i4elf in the judicial enquiry into the conduct of the Sheriff of Dublin, the commence ment of which was annoknced by our 14st notice of the proceedings of the House. Our reports of the examina tions which have taken place up to the last Sitting will have amply instructed our readers without any comment on our part, which we naturally reserve for the termina tion of the whole business. The thing is pat off till Wednesday, when the Orange partizans intend to resume their patriotic labours. In the mean time we will take the opportunities offered us by the holidays to review the few incidents, for the discussion of which this enquiry has allowed time. The famous Came Bill, which we promised our readers to watch, advances through the House. Oar readers need not be told, at this stage of it, that its object is to legalize the sale of Game, which, up to this time, has been unlawful; anJ all that we shall say of it is, that the legal owners of Game, the Two hunting Members of Parliament, have introduced a clause into the Bill, denouncing severe penalties upon those, themselves excepted, who shall offer this commo dity for sale; that is, who shall take the trade out of their legitimate bands. The public will observe that we shall watch its progress, and the House must be sensible that the eyes of the public are upon this matter, but more of this anon, at a further stage of the measure.— The subject, next in point of order, but, in our judg ment the very last in point of importance, to the people and this country, was that of negro slavery. This was introduced to the House by a Mr. Nowell Buxton, a gen tleman of known philanthropy; and philanthropy so extended, and so boundless, that it overloaks the suffer ing labourers of England, and can observe, and de. scant ,upon nothing but the burning of widows in the East and the flogging of slaves in the West. He is more. over a follower of the far famed Mrs. Fry, :And we there fore need not add, that his benevolence is of the descrip tion which includes the pickpocket and the house.break er, end excludes the industrious artisan. To these his merits, he adds that of being an extensive brewer; and, with a good will peculiar to himself, he wishes to prevent the flogging of negro slaves, and to have the exclusive privilege of supplying London with pots of porter. The accidental circum stance of his. losing nothing by tbe former and of mak. ing considerable gains by the latter, has, of course, nut had the least influence upon the conduct Of this Gentle man: and, we therefore suppose, as we . are in duty bound to suppose, that had he been a planter instead o would have been equally eloquent upon the the Slaves, and quite as just in his re tar t littera! of brewers. It Amnia he ieepossi that upon such an occasion a certsin not address the liouse. He did ad , lress it, in the usual good set phrase; hut, as it differed in ues.biag from file fOrtneraleresses on the subject, which have descended to the Methodist ronteadcles, and liave chespeoed duns !hal) twopenny- tracts. we shall spars. ourselves the. ;feeble . of repeating, and ear • read ers the disgust of reeding fit. A talk followed: which ended in Mr. 'lttilieuir- idthdriwing his mo tion, anti expressing lihi'leit4Me obligation. to Mr. Secretary Canning for his concess;ons• ice fayscr of black slaves4na the two prinripatof tbese . conressi fins, we solenisly assure our readers : were these—that CART•WRIP should be - diseontlisued . in the punishment of resrit.a and'tbikt ilar!s in eeneral should riot be worked -(tow fours neither we.take for. granted). on SmiDifil • 17pealieln bfr..!taton was contented and thaahfilsiti'witbdiPtitsisinefon. h On the tootles . GM: Goulbure, a bill baa been brought in to • contlimb tinf:lttsurrecttori Act in Ireland, not' wititstandiag . .copatfir . ntetien was wade by Lon( Althorpe, to inquire into the cause of the insurreete.m . Ministers therefore seem to proceed upon this logital anti legislative conclusioN, that as banging and transporting have failed to put down the disturbance, it is ailvrise, to continue the bangingand transporting. Another, and the last measure of the Collective Wiscio”, to which 'we shill adfert, Is a Bill which has bee' ?Btu duced.foi the commutation of Irish-tithes. We. heartily approve of this measure,ard our approbation is net dimi nished from the circumstance that it bas been forced upon the Government, by the spirited conduct of Mr. Hume: and that it is ()Opined br.ii the Irish Primates, lag the new Bishop of Clogher. These dignitarie.. oppose the rneasure, contending, !as it appears, that Par liament-have no right loilseddle with church property Hive their Right Reverences forgotten or do they Sup pose that we forgot the wise, wholesome, and truly pa triutic attack which "-was made upon the whole of the Church property on occasion of the Refor mation, and from which very attack Mey derire their present title to it?' If that attack was as we contended it was, perfectly legal, and constitutional, it is in the power of Parliament :o interfere with that pr i perty again, with a view to the public benefit. if, on the other band, that attack was not legal and constituti onal, then their Right Reverences have no title whatever to that property. They are, therefore, at liberty to choose either of the horns of this dilem.na ; but they cannot contend, at the present day, that the attack in question was fair and proper as regarding the then ex isting Church Establishment, and is not eqnaily fair and proper as regards the present. In one word we can only say, that we heartily approve the principle of the iota sure, and hope ere long to see it extend e d all over Eng land. Paris papers to the I;th nave come to hand, with the following TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH. Paris, Mai 18. TUB 11 &1011.GENIRAL OP THE ARMY TO TOR MINISTER OP TOR INTERIOR. " The French army continues to advance upon Madrid.— His Royal Highness, with the Corps of Reserve, arrived on the 9th at Lerma, from Burgos. " Marshal Oudlnot arrived on the 6th at Valladolid. Ills advanced Guard is on the Duero. "General Obert will be on the 11th at Mines an." Except the above, which shews the Duke d'Angon lime's heed-quarters to have advanced about thirty miles, since the last despatch, these papers contain clear cr certain respecting the invading armies. Much is in deed said about the operations of Mina, but it is contra dictory ; distorted by prejudice and party spirit ; and evidently partakes more of rumour than of fact. After attempting to disprove the statement of Moncey's official despatch, that the advance of the Constitutionalists to wards the frontiers of France was intentional, the Journal des Debar asserts that Mina has done, what was anticipated he would most likely do, that is to say, he has dispersed his troops into Guerillas, amidst the mountains in the direction of Arragon. flere, it is said, be was pursued by Count Curial and the Baron i d'Eroles, " who continued this kind of chute," but with how much success may he guessed from the additional information that his pursuers " had not yet been able to fire a shot," or, in other words, to come np with his troops. It would appear, however, front the l'iloie Eat if he could not be overtaken, he knew where to find and to overwhelm bia enemies ; for it is confidently-1 stated, that whilst he was thought to be marching too Campredon, be suddenly darted non Romagosa's diva. sion, which was stationed at Ripoli, destroyed it, and. then occupied Berga, from wirnce he might move to arty I part of Arragon or Catalonia, which be thought propm . Although little dependence can yet he placed upon this h.- formation to its full extent,the very uncertainty which pt e rails respecting the nature of Mina's movements tends to prove that they are the unshackled result of his own free will and enterprise. IVere this not the case, every stcr, he took would be anticipated, and circumvented ; whereat itis evident be derives advantages from his =venm.; be yond the expectation of his enemy, for even the 'Paris. Ultra Journals admit that, by it, he has " pro: racer! bis existence a few days more." In the mean tis re the French have resumed their practice of fabricadni: inter• cepted letters, for the purpose of deceiving their dopes; and published a copy of a pretended nate from Genteel Milans to General Mina, urging him to make tie retreat as a matter of necessity, and with all possible J peed. A few days, however, will clear up Mina's motive; and et jects. it is remarked by the French Ultra Jos teals ass curious circumstance, that since the advas ce of tl.o French there has h •en iv, account of Bessierts,—eboa some time since made such t aratai•lahle m went cots upon Madrid, then the seat of Government—that rim French seemed afraid of his putting down the Constitution be ' fore their aid could arrive.
