MR. OWEN. _ MEETING AT THE ROTUNDA. DUBLIN. (PROM THE DUBLIN MORNING POST OW SATURDAY.) The adjourned Meeting was held at the Rotunda yes terday, for the purpose of hearing the objections of such Gentlemen as should be inclined to oppose the Plan re commended by Mr. Owen; for the relief of this Country. The Meeting was numerously and most respectably attended. The great room was closely filled, but from the precautions which had been taken, no inconvenience was suffered from the pressure; a great number of La dies were present. Before the business of the Sleeting commenced, symp toms of a riotous disposition were manifested by some boys, who took their position at the inner side of the room. One of those persons procured an old broom, and .affixing it to the top of a pole, held it op for the amuse ment of his associates, whose approbation of this feat Was made manifest by noise and langhter. At twelve o'clock Sir. Owen appeared ; he was receiv ed with loud applause. A few hisses were heard, which proceeded from the part of the room to which we have alluded, bat they served only to increase the applause tenfold. Mr. Owen then read the letter, calling the Meeting. lie then reads statement relative to his proposed Plan, and also a description of the painting, which was exhi bited from the platform, representing a village and grounds laid out on his plan. Whilst Mr. Owen was reading one of these documents, a tumult was occasioned by one of the rioters springing a watchman's rattle The indignation of the Meeting was strongly manifested at this conduct, and a general cry of " turn him out," resounded through the room. Silence having been restored, Mr. Owen stated that be was anxious to bear the objections to the proposed Plao, which might be urged by any Gentleman, and with the permission of the Meeting be would then reply to them. He then sat down amid loud applanses, but no person came forward to oppose him. The groupe of riotous disturbers called loudly on Mr. Singer, but that Gentleman took no notice of them. Sir Frederick Flood was then called to the Chair, when a series of resolutions were severally moved, second ed, and carried. AU the resolutions met the noisy opposition of the ri-tous gang, several of whom exclaimed, " Singer, don't allow these resolutions to pass." Mr. Owen then read a letter which be bad j est receiv ed ; it was subscribed " James Islacirtney, Upper Met rion-gtreet," and stated, that the writer would give, not as a loan, but as a donation, one hundred pounds, towards carrying Mr. Omen's Plan into effect in this country. The reading of this letter called forth the hisses of the buys and young men to whom we have alluded, and the Iciest tst applause from the Meeting at large. It was generally supposed that the bovs who behaved thus scandalously, belong to Trinity College; we hope rot. as their conduct reflects no credit on that establish. nt, nor on their tutors. Some of them ashamed, it would seem, to show their faces, concealed themselves in the cavities under the seats, and issued vollies of groans, shoots and hisses, from this masked battery. It was the ruJest part of the audience transferred from the upper gallery of the Threatre to the Rotunda. To snake the resemblance complete, they had the rattle —they might, perhaps, base the bottle also. They hooted and . whistled at intervals. One of them exclaimed, "we shall whistle him (Mr. Owen) off, as we have the Marquis Welles ley!" The scene altogether was most disgraceful. Lord Cloncurry moved the thanks of the Meeting to. Mr. Owen. This resolution was carried with the accla- 'nation of the Meeting, and the noisy opposition of the rioters. , (FROM TDB DUBLIN MORNING POST OF MONDAY.) On Saturday, a Meeting of the Friends to Mr. Owen's Plan, was held at the Rotunda, for the purpose of adopt in; !treasures to carry it into execution. Mr. wen took that opportunity of explaining some of the errors of the present system of edneation, contrasting them with the PI ,n he proposed for instructing the children who were to be trained in the proposed villages, and con clotting an Address he read id the following terms:— " It is uow evident to every unprejudiced mind, that the miseries of mankiuil are really produced by the vicious and miserable circumstances in which they are allowed to come into life and exist until death. It is rain and hopeless then, to expect any substantial and permanent improvement in the condition of the human race can be attained, unless we relinquish this error, and the practi. ces which it necessarily generates. I therefore propose at (Mee to form new circumstances for human nature from birth to death, formed on the self-evident principle that some circumstances essentially contribute to create Tice and misery, while as others as certainly tend to pro mo'e virtue and happiness, and that i: is the tirst ditty of society to withdraw the former and Introduce the lat ter. I eonelnde that this is the only course which can Low be adopted to relieve society from its present complicated embarrassments ; that it is the only course by which man can ever arrive et a' rational state of ex istence: and we are this day met here to consider what are the best means of attaining this most desirable of all objects. Without soy further preliminary, then, it appears to me that we ought now to adopt the most open and direct means to interest the Government and the people in the measures which it is desirable to carry into executi• n." Sir Capvl Molyneux then moved, that Sir Frederick Flood should take the Chair. This motion was se conded by Sir William Brahma, and having met the approbation of the meeting, Sir Frederick Flood took the Chair. The following Resolutions were then passed by accla mation : tat, " That this Meeting approves of the formation of the proposed Irish Pliilsnthrophic Society, and that it be this day established. id, " That as it is most desirable to have the immediate end direct aid of both sexes in promoting the good work •boat to be undertaken, there be formed, in conoection with this Society, another, to be called ' The Ladies Irish Adieu thropic Society.' 3 " That a Provisional Committee be now appointed to carry these Resolutions into immediate execution. 4th, " That this Meeting earnestly recommendto the Com mittee to use their best endeavours to obtain the consent of his Most Gracious Majesty to become Patron of the Irish Philanthropic Society. sth, "'That this Meeting also strongly recommend that no party views of any description should ever enter into the proceedings of the Society." Sir Capel Molyneux here stated, that lie had some estates in the County of Limerick, the leases of which would expire at a certain period; and that it was his in tention to apportion a part of them towards the eva blishing a ♦dtage on Mr. Owen's Plan. Tbis'annuunausent was received with loud applanse. - . Sir Calk! Mimi:a. Bart. brine railed to the Chair, the thanks of the hireling were voted to Sir Frederick Flood. The 31eeting then adjourned. On IVednrsday afternoon last, as Lieutenant-Colonel Trench, of Bolton-street, was driving down the Haymar ket in a tilbury, turning the corner of Pall mall. his horse unfortunately struck a Mrs. Coxe, of Little Clois• ' ters, Westminster, knocked her down, broke one of Ler ribs, and otherwise bruised her. The Colonel, with treat humanity, immediately got out of the tilbory to assist Ler, and put her under the care of Mr. Fisher, surgeon, of Oreek-street, who happened to be driving by at the time, and pulled np to offer her his professional assist ante, which, while iu the act of rendering, his pocket nms picked of his instrament.case by a thief among the crowd assembled on the occasion. TIIE STATESMAN IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—TausiDAv. The Earl STANHOPE presented a petition from a gentleman named Charles Andrew Thomson, of Chis wick, in the county of Middlesex, stating that be and his father had been germ' years since, merchants at Oporto, that they returned to England with a large fortune, which was laid out in the purchase of land, at a time when land bore a very high price : but that in consequence of the return to cash pay ments, by which land and agricultural produce became reduced - in value, and various other misfortunes, the pe titioner was now reduced from a state of atiluence to po- verty l and he prayed that measures might be adopted to prevent the opprisston occasioned by the operations of unjust laws, and for an equal adjustment of contracts.— The Noble Earl commented on the injustice of those laws, by the operation of which this petitioner, and thousands of otl•ers, had suffered in their property, and contended, that it was the duty of Parliament to take some step for the redress of their grievances. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. The Bill to prevent Profane Cursing and Swearing was read a third time and passed. The Warehousing Bill was reported. The Weights and Measures Bill was read a second time.—Adjourned. EQUITAPLE ADJUSTMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Ma 1, 1E437 Lord Stanhope presented the following Petition of C. A. Thomson. Esq. which was read by the Clerk to the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Grit Britain and Ireland, itr Parliament assembled : TNE PETITION OP CHARLES ♦NDREW TRONSON, OP CHIS- WICK, IN THE COUNTY OP 14IDDLISCI. Most humbly showeth,—That your Petitioner has, for many years oast, paid large aunts of money, out of the pro duce of his industry, for the support of the Government and laws of the Country ; that he has always been taught to be. lieve, that, in return for this support, be had a right to ex pect from the Government and Laws protection In the right ly enjoyment of his property ; but that he has, by that Go vernment and by those Laws, been despoiled of his proper ty, and that, from a state of opulence, he has, by the unjust effects and irresistible force of Acts of Parliament, been reduced to a state of ruin and bankruptcy. That your Petitioner imputes no intentional wrong-doing to your Honourable House or to any branch of the Govern ment : that to err is not criminal ; that it is not given to man to be free from error ; that from error wroug may la- ' nocently be committed ; and that of that obstinate prise , verance in error, which converts unintentional wrong into premeditated injustice, your Petitioner confidently hopes that he is not doomed to witness an instance in the conduct of your Honourable House. Thst your Honourable House has not now to be inform ed of the mighty mischiefs resulting from the measures for returning to Cash Payments, unaccompanied as they un happily were with measures for rectifying contracts ; that the cries of thousands upon thousands of families , suden l y plunged into penu.y and want, from a state of ease and of plenty, cannot fail to have reached the ears and to have awakened the compassion of your Honourable House • bat that, amongst the thousands upon thousands of suf ferers, your Petitioner believes, that the case of r few can exceed, in hardship and injustice, that to which he now most earnestly begs the attention of your Honourable House. That your Petitioner and his Father (now deceased) were Oporto merchants for thirty years, and In the most ex tensiee trade ; that, in this trade, and iu that of wine merchant, in whim. your Petitioner's Father had been for many years pretious to those thirty, they gained a large for tune ; and that in 1611 and 1812 they, with a part of their capital, made divers purchases of Land. Tnat they purchased the Estate of Northaw, in Hertford shire, for which they paid, in ready money, 02,0001. ; on which estate they built two excellent new houses and six tatteges, and broke up 200 acres of land, which they brought Into a state of fine culiivation ; that the whole of these im provements cost them 10,000/. ; and that the estate, therefore, has cost them 72,0001. Thatin 1812 your Petitioner and his Father bargained for the estate of Pontrylas. in Herefordshire, for 00,0001., the proprietor of which estate was John Ashfordby Trenchard, Doctor of Divinity, of Highworth in the county of Wilts, and paid 5,5551. as a deposit ; that the Title was by the law adviser of your Petitioner deemed not good, and that your Petitioner accordingly refused to complete the purchase, and brought an action for the deposit ; that the vender !ap plied to the Court of Chancery to stop the action ; that the question remained undecided in that Court until 1819, during which time your Petitioner had not the power to sell the Es tate ; that at the end of that period the Vice Chancellor de cided against your Petitioner; that there was then due to Trenchard for purchase money and interest thereon. 71 957/. 19s. sd. and from Trenchard to your Petitioner for rests received 0.8391. It. 9d. making a balance against your Peti tioner of 63,1181. 17s. Bd. That its the mean time your Petitioner bad experienced great reverses in his commercial affairs, In consequence of the same all-ruinous cause, sod, being unable to pay the sum of 03,1181. 17r. Eld„ rave to Trenchard a mortgage for 03,0001. on the estates of Pontrylas and Northaw. That between the year 1519. when the Chancery suit was decided, and July 1921, your Petitioner paid in part of the debt of 65,0001, the sum of 5,000/. ; and 8,0001. interest oat the same up to July 1521. That on the decision of the Chancery suit your Peti tioner was put into possession of the Estate, and continued in possession until he became bankrupt ; during which time your Petitioner received, on account of rent and timber, 3,4101. That in July 1821 your Petitioner offered the two Estates for sale, but could not obtain for them a price at all equal to his expectations or the amount of the sam for which they were mortgaged. That In October 1821 your Petitioner became a Bank rupt. That Trenchard thereon took the proper and legsl steps to retain the profits of the estate, and has since given notice of fore-deting the mortgage. That thus your Petitioner has actually paid to Trenchard 18,6551. while he has received from the estate 3,410/. and is in danger of losing both this estate and his estate at Northaw, which cost your Petitioner 72,0001. Thet, on the other baud, Dr. Trenchard has received in cash from your Petitioner MAU.; together with the whole rents of the estate from the time of sale up to the year 1819; and that he has now applied to the assignees of your Petitioner far leave to take the two estates, together with all arrears of rent, which are due from February ISI9 (and which, together with timber felled, your Petitioner esti mates at about 3,3001.) in lieu of the debt of 60,000/. That the Assignees of your Petitioner are now praying the Court of Chancery to agree to the above proposal, and that if the prayer should be granted, Trenchard will hive received the whole reuts and profit of tha estate except for two yeers, and 1,4701. for timber; that lie will have been paid 18,5551. by your Petitioner ; 'and that in addition to his own estate he will have acquired the estate of Northaw, which cost your Petitioner 72,0001. That your Petitioner and his deceased Father purehased other estates, in 1811. In the counties of Middlesex, Essex, and Hants, for 33,1001. which have now been actually sold for 12,00014 that your Petitioner and his Father, owing to the depression in the price of land, and to a like depression in that of their stock in trade, were in 1821 reduced to a state of bankruptcy ; that seven children of your Petitioner, ten children of his itrother ' and seven children of his Sister, will now be left wholly destitute, while your Petitioner s Father, Vita a heart broken by these calamities, died in the year 1822. It is to prevent this act of crying injustice and cruelty that your Petitioner humbly implores your ilonouranle times, to interpose the exercise of that Power which you possess, for the purpose of protecting his Majesty's people against oppression. Your Petitioner thinks it wholl un necessary to take up the time of your Honourable House in Mewing. that this threatened confiscation of his proper ty has .risen wholly from those Legislative measures which hue produced that change in the value of money, which Ism token two-thirds from the price of Agricultural produce, sod which has, of coarse, lessened lo the same degree the pries of land. His case js so plain that it cannot be mis understood; and, therefore, begging leave to remind your Honourable House of the Bank-Suspension Act in 1797, of the Suspension of Actions against the non-resident Clergy in MOO (which action were afterwards quashed by an Act of your Honourable House), and of the suspension of the Landlord's power of distress against Tenants, in : your Petitioner begging leave to remind your Honourable House of these precedents, most humbly prays your Ho nourable House to suspend the power by which the Mort gages above-mentioned may be enabled to take from him his Estate; and he further prays your Honourable House, %o cause such equitable adjustment of contracts between man and man, as may prefent the utter ruin of your Pe titioner; and of the numerous persons dependent for their bread on his pecuniary means. And your Petitioner will ever pray. CH•RLES ANDREW 'Thomson. MEETING OF MERCHANTS AND BANKERS. Yesterday, a meeting of Alerchants and Bankers of the city of London, took place ►t the London Tavern, for the purpose of adopting measures for the greater security of the money advanced by them, in the course of their com mercial transaction., upon the deposit of merchandise and goods, and for a more adequate protection than is at pre sent afforded by the English law against the fraudulent conduct of foreign men:to-tots. Joux SMITH, Esq. M. P., was unanimously called to the Chair. The CISATRMAN said, it was well known to them that merchants, hankers, and other capitalists, were in the ha bit of advancing money on the security of merchandise to a considerable extent, as well on the deposit thereof as in payment of bills of exchange, drawn by the consignors from foreign parts, or from one port to another within the United Kingdom. To encourage the employment of capital by means of such advances, by which the amount of capital actually engaged in commercial operations was intreased, and the trade of the country was carried to a vast extent, was a sound principle of policy ; but it aas to be lamented that no adequate protection was afforded by our law to such transactions. On the contrary, the English capitalist advanced his money at his peril, and to his loss, if the goods proved to he the property of any other person than the individual borrowing or drawing upon the credit of them, although such fact was un known and nniliscoverable by the person making the ad. vance. To provide against such a hardship, it became t' e crest body of the capitalists of the nation to make every effort. It was worthy of reinark, that our Scot tish brethren had exhibited upon this, as well as upon other questions, a much greater degree of prudence than we had exercised, as would be shown in the course of his discussion. In fact the English law was unfair and Omni in the highest degree; for it went to prevent the circulation of capital biond any measure that, perhaps, bad ever been brought before Parliament. . . Mr. FARRAND, M.P., rose to submit certain resolutions, which had, he said, been drawn up under the legal opi nion and advice of Messrs. Kaye, Freshfield, and Kaye. He observed, that the rule that a factor, though clothed with apparent ownership of goods, and the power of sale, could not pledge them, or dispose of them by barter, ori ginated in cases determined a century ago, and turned principally en apparent fraudulent practices between the actor and the individual with whom the goods were de posited. The courts of law had carried the principle to such an extent as to render all advances on goods ex tremely dangerous, by exposing English capitalists, who advanced money on merchandise to frauds on the part of foreign merchants. Mr. Thomas WlLsoy, M.P., said he felt much for the foreign merchants. Care should be taken to protect them from abuse of trust. The CUAIRMAN thought that nothing could be more uncertain in general then the c tnjectitre as to the *Maim of the law officers of the Crown; but believed they were not hostile to the proposition of remedying the existing evil. Indeed, he understood their disposition as friendly towards the change. f the proceedings of the meeting were brought to a speedy termination, a bill might be brought into Parliament this season. The resolutions were agreed to, and the merchants and bankers signed a petition to Parliament. DUBLIN COMMISSION, APRIL 2S. THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE. John Casey stood indicted for aiding and assist ing Moses H. Pentland, in carrying away Mary M•tiarry. Mary Mithirry, Win. Nixon, and B. Nixon, were se verally called, but they did not appear. There being no evidence in this case, the Jury returned a verdict of Nut Guilty. TRIAL AT BAR. COURT Or KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN.-APRIL 25. LESSEE O'HARA V. O'HARA, A MINOR. In this case, which had been at trial during four days, and had excited considerable public inteeesr, the Jury have found a verdict fur the defendant, thereby con6rin ing his title to the Crebilly estate, in the County of An trim, which yields at present 3 , 0 001 . a-year, and upon the expiration of the present leases, is expected to rise to upwards of 6,0001. a-year. The question between the parties was the validity of a marriage alleged to have been had in 1787 at Dinufries, in Scotland, between the late John Hamilton O'Hara, Esq. the defendant's father, and Madeline Collette, the mother of the lessor of the plaintiff. Mr. John Clerk, the distinguished Scotch Advocate, who had been Solicitor-General of Scotland during the Administration of Lord Grenville and Mr. Fox, in 12303, was brought over ou the part of the defendant to give evidence as to the law of Scotland, with regard to mar -1 riages contracted there. Several other witnesses, from different parts of England and Scotland, were also pro 'Need on behalf of the defendant, in support of the facts of the case. The four Judges severally charged the Jury, who re tired about live o'clock, and about nine o'clock returned into Court with a verdict for the defendant. BONDgD WAREIIOLISRS.—The following letter on this subject, says,the Bristol Mercury, has been addressed to a respectable firm in that city:— " London, .t pril 18, 1823.

Bawd of Trade, one of the gentlemen of the Trvasury being present, in which all that I have wrist -1 1 1 to you be fore . on she subject of the Bonded Warehouses was confirmed, with this addition, that for the period of three 'swaths after the Bill was passed, all those Warehouses that have held Bonded Hoods hitherto will be Ahmed a similarprivilege. is allowed for the purpose of giving time foe au examina tion of the Warehouses prior to granting Warrants of special security.

After the late debates in Parliament, there can be no doubt, in the mind of any rational man, that this nation can never go to war again as long as the Debt is in its present amount. This has been all but openly confessed by both sides of the House; ani we congratulate the whole body of the Lord Marlon.s upon it. This is the state to which they have brought the country; and, there is this positive advantage in it, that it puts an end to one way of drawing money out of the people's pockets.— During the last debate, there was a Air. Wm. Pest., who spoke, and who said "it would be ridiculous to argue that the resources nt . this country were not sufficiently simple to enable it to " embark is war, if war were nee-ssary for its interests "or honour. That country, to which every other ronnt•y " appealed, and to which every other country seas indebted. " was surely not the only country which could not support a war."— This was an observation worthy even of a Lord Charles. The very thing that enables us to lend, disables us from going to war. It is curious to observe what con: stint efforts have been made, during these debates, to cause the French to believe s that we can go to war if we choose. They do not believe us. They know we cannot, as long as we have this Debt; and, they know, that, as ,we cannot even lighten this debt without a Re form of the Parliament, it will remain with all its weight on us to the last possible moment. Many ages has France been trying to set above us; and, now she seems destined to do it. Iler present war is against Gat ton and Old Sarum. Stoddart and Stuart seem to think t hat it is against democracy; so it is, too; but it is against Gatton. The French have two objects in view; to keep down revolution and to pull down England ; and, if they give her a pretty good pull down, they will shake Old Sams and Gatton. " Our brave tars" grumble at the capture of the Galleon. This is a flagrant poaching upon our manor. Really it ought to come before our justices of Me peace !—The French have "explained!" Yes; they will explain ; but they will keep the Galleon; and, why should they not, since we kept the French ships, taken before declaration of war in I SOS ? STATE OF IRELAND. To-night comes on the affair of the High Sherff of Dublin. It is expected to branch out in all directions, and to a great extent. In the meanwhile the Mao (tons WELLssLar, at whom a piece of a two penny rattle was thrown by treason-committing hands, calls for a re newal of the Insurrection Act! Was this what Mr. William Williams meant,wben,in the debate of Tuesday night, he called eur affair the" envy and admiration of the world" As lawyer, to be sure, he has a privilege to u•e this phrase. Lawyers, Parsons, Placemen and Pensioners, and Dead-Weight, and Fund People, have all this privi lege ; but, there are times for exercising it; and this ap pears to us not to have been one of those times. More than sixteen hundred men imprisoned for poaching in one year; a part of the people shut up in their Houses from sun-set to sun-rise, and liable to be transported without trial by jury : these things, not to mention many other, might, one would think, restrain even a lawyer from calling our affair the " cnry and admiration of the world." Mr. BROVGHAM, in Wednesday's debate, gave a ludicrous account of a book of M. de Chateaubriand on the Engl:sh People and Parliament. False as that book might be, it was not more false than the accounts of our THING, which we send forth to the world. A tree account of this THING ; a full and true account of it would astonish the people of the Continent! And they ought to have this account ; though, mind, they can never leave it through the English press. But, they ought to have it. Some one ought to give it them. Both of oar factions do all they can to deceive Me world in this re spect. They are ready to tear each others eyes out ; but, they unite in calling this country, in which they fatten. " the classic ground of liberty." A list, merely a list of Acts of Parliament, giving power to punish without trial by Jury; a mere list of these would be of use.— ' But, what is wanted is, a full account of the trammels in which an unprivileged Englishman lives. Such a . work, translated into French, would do a great deal of good in this world. It ought to show particularly, how these trammels have been increased by our wars " for the preservation of our happy Constitution is " Church and State." Such a work mizht be entitled: " The classic ground of liberty." Paris papers to the 30th ult. have been received. The latest information from the Army in Spain is the follow TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH FROM PARIS, Artn.3o. THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR TO THE MAYOR OF CALAIS. "We occupy Burgos since the 22d.
