He was glad that the meeting was so numerously and respectably at tended. It was no wonder Aso there were no more present, considering the Alertness of the notice. and the great distance et I.4ielt many of the chief Nobility and Gentry of Ireland resided. If they determined on his taking the Chair, he would not oppose the sense of the room by declining the ho nour; but he begged to be eicosed, if, on finding the meeting likely to he protrscied beyond the time convenient to lion, be ve4tured to resign the office to Mr. Tighe. Mr. Tiede then put the question. The Earl of DARNIAT took the Chair. Mr. That: promised to relieve . him l ie rdship if the meeting *boo Id bold as out 4 Incessesysteat time of day. He then nndsinsook ..to "aisle the reasons why he, an Nimble individual, - without say of the customary ad vantages wherewithal to command pub lic attention, had undertaken to explain to that full and respectable meeting the cautearand object of calling and holding it. One of the main impres sions on his mind. and on those of the Gentlemen whom lie had consulted, was, the necessity and pro. priety of making an application to Pat liaraent as ' soon as possible, for the purpose of having the present state of Ireland examined into, and of having the proper remedies applied to the evils and grievances under which the country laboured —to have the laws promptly and vigorously enforced to the punishment of the guilty, and the relief and security- trf the innocent. An other object of theirs like to fix, if possible, the public attention of this country on the real causes of the state of Ireland. None of the Gentlemen or parties on this side of the water seemed to know any thing about the evils or their causes. O ne set of newspapers attributed all the disasters to the conduct of the Irish Government—another laid the blame to the Government at home ; one charged the guilt of the excesses to the irritations of Orangeism—another to the exactions of rent by the landlords—another to exactions as unreasonable by the tithe proctors. As far as he was enabled to judge by having resided a long time in Ireland, sod having acted as a civil Magistrate there. it was satisfactory to him to know, that the miseries of Ireland were not attributable to the mismanage ment or ill conduct of any members of the Government, though they had all, from the highest to the lowest, been impugned on that account. They had all shown at all times the greatest desire to prevent the mal-administration of the laws, and it was peculiarly satisfactory to him to be stale to state, that the present Lord Lieutenant was re markable fur his zeal in promoting the interests of that country. He was mose•prenupt in hiwarndea yours to prevent the abuse of the subordinate powers of Government, and to quench the effects of the feuds which existed in the country, and pre vent the persecutions which the different parties were inclined to exercise one toward', another. As to the excessive exactions of landlords, though the rents might be beyond the means of the Irish to pay, they fell very far short of the proportion de rived from the truantry of the soil by the English landlords. He speaks upuu his knowledge of two very considerable counties in Ireland, and he ven tured to say that the Irish landlords did out take away more, though they might take quite as much as the tenants could pay. They left a greater pro portion of the rental in the hands Gf the tenantry than was left by the English landlords. Another rumour which was prejudicial to the peace and tran quillity of Ireland, and was equally untrue with the last named, which was also charged as a matter of heavy grievance and abuse, was the unwarrant able exactions of the tithe system.' No doubt but a mode of remunerating the Clergy more rational and equitable, end at any rate better suited to the meridian of Ireland, might be contrived. But he took on himself to say, that the Clergy of Ireland, in exacting those rights, were exemplary for their moderation and forbearance, nod (hoot who were like himself paying tithes in both coun tries, best knew how far the proportion of tithes dues collected in Ireland fell short of those col lected in England. As to the Magistrates of Ire land, lie owned that they were different front the same class in England. But the former had great difficulties wherewith to contend, Here, their union at the petty Sessious gave strength and dignity to their measures. In Ireland, from the spirit for nocturnal depredations which prevailed, the Magi strate, by the frequent sod sudden appeals to his authority its cases of immediate danger and diffi culty, was in some measure assimilated with the constable. He undertook to say, that the Irish Magistracy generally were inost anxious and willing for the just enforcement of the laws. Having stated thus much, to show that the pernicious 'amours which had gone forth did not properly describe the real causes of the calamities of Irelaud, lie might be asked what were those causes ? His answer would be, that lie felt himself to be too humble an individual to attempt to define them. It was enough fur him to know that Ili.: state of Ireland was such as to be highly dangerous to the empire at large—threatening to kindle, it' not checked in time, a genersl flame of rebellion in that country. It was enough for them if they could succeed in having the subject submitted to the Legislature, to which he looked up with the utmost confidence, assured that they would institute an examivatiou into the causes, that they would trace them out, and apply the necessary remedies with due proton . mode amid effict, and that all that was necessary fur the meeting to do was, to petition the Sore reign, praying that he would be graciously pleased immediately to aumniao the Parliament, and lay before them the proper information, sod at the same time directing them to proceed as woo as possible to a consideration ()I' the evils under which the country laboured, and provide with the least Ids; of ri me a suffici en t re me d y . %Vali this view he pre pared a Petition to his Majesty which he would read to the meeting, at the saute time observing that he was prepared to give ground to any No biennia, or Gentlemen who had prepared what might be considered a more eligible one than his own. Mr. Domovae, before the Petition was read, wished to state Annie mentions upon the subjects which had been broached by the Gentleman who had !impaired it. The Earl of DARNLEY said that it would be more regular to hear the Petition read first. Mr. TIGHE then read the Petition, which was crotched as follows: We, your Majesty's faithful and loyal subjects, beindely ' premise thus to approach your Majesty to express the un finitude of grief, horror, and alum excited in oar miner by the piste of that part of your majesty's domistions with which we are more particularly eususeeted by birth, pro perty, or commercial reistlons. We are eseouraged to do so by • grateful recollection of the truly paternal and ape deem spirit that occasioned and charaeterised you u. jetty's tate visit to Ireland. We venture humbly to tepee seat to your Majesty, thtt • system of owing* asst) iosubordination among large portions of the labouring classes of that eoentry, has fur sonic years been manifestly advancing to its preseiit dreadful state of maturity, when the ordinary powers of civil Government can afford no pm teenoe to the peaceable inhabitants, no restraint to the du tubers of the public peace. Crimes anti distresses, at which the soul sickeas ' are daily presraled to public view, whil s t the causes and the remedies, except the sieve, and we fear unavailing remedy of military force, appear to be beyond the knowledge, or the powers of your Majesty's Government of treland. We feel it, then, Sire, to be a duty to ourselves, to our country, and to our Sovereign, as faithful and attached subjects, to express oar conviction that to the collective wisdom and labours of Parliament, Ireland ran alone look far the restoration of tranquillity sad good order upon a sound and permanent basis; combining the moot efficient means of enforcing the law, with • wise and humane attention to remote or alleviate the canoes and dis tresses which may appear to have occasioned or exuperated the evil. And viewing with deep anxiety the protracted sod ascertain period of its meeting, we most humbly petition you Majesty, that you may he graciously pleased to direct such measures to be token as to your Majesty's wisdom may appear most expedient, to bring under the consideration of your Parliament, with the least possible delay, the present state of Ireland.. To this me we shall look with hope fur • cessation of those outrages and calamities which althea and disgrace a country more dear to us and more valued by us from the reflection, that in the midst of its crimes and distresses, it leas escaped eves a suspicion of disloyalty or disaffection to your Majesty's Royal Person and Goren meat." Mr. DONOVAN said that he wished to make his remarks before the Petition was put, mid declared himself to. ; be very sanguine as t o th e goo d e ff ects which the meeting was like!y to produce. He had the greatest hopes, from the known intentions of the Kling towards Ireland, that something might yet be done for that suffering country. Being a plain men, and unaccustomed to public speaking, he had thrown a few opinions upon paper, which, if permitted, he would now read. lie was the more anxious to contribute hie mite upon such an occa -111011 .a the preaeut, because he found that he ea tertained upon many points an essential difference of opinion from the Gentlemau who proposed the Address. They lard, however, he was willing to believe, both the same object in view, though they pursued it by different means. Mr. Donovan theu proceeded to address the meeting from a written paper. He said that the present situation of heisted. Thiel, he presumed they had rhea met to cousider, though frightful was not new—the same outrages had often appeared within his own time, which conspre- , 'tended the last half century. The bayonet had al ways beeu applied to repress them—a temporary calm had followed, but intolerable misery had again driven the wretched peasant to madness; and as he i had never seen the Government apply any remedy but the bayonet, he in his turn resorted to the same weapon with frightful retaliation. A nation of the ! just pride of England could not perhaps bear to he told that her Government had for centuries been only odious in Ireland, but tech as was too well cal culated to unhinge the whole frame of civil society in that country. It was factious, and exclusive, and penal. It unsettled property, and, by a mean jealousy, repressed manufacturing industry. Eng load must be told that she owed much of forbear ance, touch of conciliation, and something of her resources to Ireland. This was a plain dealing country, and let her be told the truth, that Ireland could no longer bear the weight of taxation imposed upon her. Ireland must also be told that she had been cursed by a squandering, a proud. and an op pressive gentry. He knew there were great excep tions, but he believed their general character was as he had described it. An unpaid magistracy, which in England had been such a blessing, was in Ire land the source of much evil. Justice had never been fairly administered among the people; bills of indictment could either be found or thrown out among them, just as the party happened to fusee private interest with the Grand Jury. Every 111d11 knew that when these Grand Juries in Ireland assembled at the Assizes. presetitment-jobbiug was the chief business they attended to. Mr. Timis having risen for the like purpose several times before without effecting it, now spoke to order. The object of the meeting was simply that of an Address to the Kiug to summon Parlia ment. To what mein the evils of Ireland were attributable to any particular cause, would open too wide a field of discussion to consider. They had met tog ether with a view to considering the present dreadful state of that country, and of look ing for a remedy to restore that order and tranquil lity which were so earnertly desired by every one reseed: Mr. DONOVAN—" Well, Sir, this leads to it. If you will only have temper, jou will find that this meets your views completely." The Earl of DA RN Lay being appealed to for the adjustment of the ponst of order, declared his opinion, that nothing which he had heard could be Considered as foreign to the purpose of seeking out the cause of the Irish calamities. At the ensue time he thought that the proposed mode of discussions would open a very wide field of obseivetion, and pro tract the meeting beyond the time in which it would be possible for him to attend. If, however, the Gen tleman persisted, he mia4 be linnet, being strictly in order. He himself was prepared to admit the truth of much of that 'illicit had been read : ILLUSTRATIONS OF MASONRY.

Mr. Donovan resumed, and said, that he c old nit think of proceeding against the wishes of the Noble Chairman ; he had too high a respect for the Noble Lord's character to take a single step in contradiction to his feeling; but he trusted that Le should be allowed three minutes more to read the few remaining observations he had to submit. He then proceeded to state that much bad often been said of the absentee properly ; it was true that it was great, and that the mode in ohich it war taken was a greater evil titan the loss of the capital itself. A profligate class of agents and middle men had sprung up, who plundered the teriaut while they cheated the landlord. All sympathy was thereby lost between landlord and tenant. Hs • excluded front the list of useless absentees such men as the Duke of Devonshire and Earl Fitz. william, and honest Englishmen of their stamp, who dealt fairly towaids their tenaut►y. They were exonerated from any share in producing the present state of things in Ireland. But how was this state of things to be remedied ? Heaven alone could tell. Some said, by makilig men live on their estates—others, by taxing absen tees. But they must first make the country fit fur a human being to live in, before ■ny of the absen tees would, even for the sake of their own proper. ties,giveao'necasionol residence among them. They must discourage private distillation for the pay ment of their rents, sod by so doing withheld the strong excitement which habits of smuggling and the intoxication of whiskey give to the commission of midnight outrage. They must cultivate better their own native resources, and encourage domestic industry. Something of course must be done by the Legislature, besides making a barrack of the country. But from whom were they to expect that • legislative assistance ? Was it firms such an Admi nistration as the present ? was it from Ministers whose principles of government were bigoted and despotic ? No: he confessed he had no hopes from such men. They had neither the wisdom nor the honesty for the task ; nor could any partial change in the Irish Administration work any good for the country. What was their conduct on a late occa sion ? They deluded their Sovereign, who intend ed to serve Ireland-- Earl DARNLEY was compelled now to interfere. If the meeting was to be at all useful, all party feeling must be suppressed. It was best kuown to Meuse who had known him longe►t that the uniform feeling and conduct of his public life had kept hint always in opposition to the present Achniiistratiois. Attlee same time he felt, under the circumstances they were deliberating spots, that there was a ne cessity for abstaining from all party feeling. He was convinced that it could only be by the Asti.. ileum from all party motives and coosideratiomi that the Parliament would be enabled to do any good w hen called together. He wished white he was speaking to chains an exemption from the cen sure contained in the speech of the Gentleman on all die landlords of the Irish, the Duke of Devonshire and the Earl Fitzisilliam ex cepted. Ha could appeal to his oldest friend, with confidence ter proof that lie did not deserve to he implicated in any such censure. Mr. DONOVAN begged leave to correct the Noble Lord's apprehension of his meaning, which was never intended to reach the Noble Chairmau, he having been compressed in the words, " and all honest laudlords." He proceeded to read again a series of remarks reproachful to Administration. Some uneasiness being a.atn inaiiifested, one reittleinsei moved that Mr. Dolitivan should not 'tie beard any longer.—( Laughter.) Mr. DONOVAN had little more to say, and though it might be suppressed then, it would, sootier or later, come out. Opposing, us he thc.i did and always had doic,, the oystens which hail produced the calamities of his country, he was surprised that the oppu•itiou him hail been do greater, as truth was poison to that system. Ex cept the Chairman forbad hint, lie pioposed to con tinue his address. He hail an estate iii Ireland, and was deeply interested in the affairs of that country; he had long experience of the country and inhabitants. He had lost thousands of pound.; in endeavouring to prevent the effects of the s)s tem, and be lost his peace of mind because those efforts were so little successful. He thought these were claims which ought t 3 entitle him to a hear ing. Would the Noble Chairman allow bins to proceed ? The Earl of DARNLEY said Yes, if the Gentle man would confine himself to the coutents of his paper. Mr. DONOVAN then read the conclusion of his stutenieut., Ministers surrounded the piing in Dublin, with the Nobility, the Clergy. hind the Pensioners. The whole tribe of placerorn hid the people from the Throne. The King was, io fact, shut out from all information of the real state of thing., and the Ministers deluded him by a mockery 01 title parade and apparent grandeur. which covered uvr r beggary and misery. Nothing could show inure the poverty of Ireland than the inability of the people with all their good will, to contribute towards the intended palace ; and could arty thing exhihit inthe strongly the hollow character of the liish plateuseie than the fact, that even thus, with their huudredstif thousands each year out of the systesn—oith theories grown wealth of the church, and the plunder of the placemen, would only contribute a few thousands ou•such an occasion. The old remedy of coercion was again about to be applied in Ireland, fie knew that outrage must he ' , mashed ; but were there no evils to he redreaard ? Talk not to the peasant of Catholic emancipation. What motet* it to him, if starvation be his fate, which chore shall divide the spoil ? But lie called opal' toren to take care that whatever remedy they now col l ated should go home to the peasant, and iuspirie :sus Iwith confidence and how. Their whole system of gorermucut in Inland ass too txpelisive they paol STATE OF IRELAND. THATCHED HOUSE TAVERN, Sr. Jesus's-num. Yesterday was held. pursuant to public advertise merit, a meeting of Noblemen and Gentlemen connected by birth, fortune, or occupation with Ireland; the purpose of which was, to consider the propriety of an Address to the Crown, praying for Parliament to be immediately convened, and con sulted as to the best means of putting an end to the disturbances now ►aging in that country. A considerable number of the gentry of Ireland had assembled by one o'clock, the Earls of Darnley and Bletinton being also present. Mr. Twin first addressed the meeting, which, he said, must have assembled thus numerously frogs a convicting of the deep importance attached to eha uhitct of it. He was glad that it was so, and that there were present so many great Irish absen tees, who proved by their immediate attendance how intent they were in regard to any subjects con. nected with the int of their country. The first step would be to move the appointment of a Noblesnan, then in the room, who had always shewn himself anxious to assist and protect iii, distressed Irish tenantry, as he had by his conduct in Parlia ment constinitly s.►pharted the interests and free dom of the kingdom at large, to the Chair. He proposed that the Earl of Darnley should he called to the Chair. He was aware that his Lordship was pressed for time, but there was so little to discuss, as tunny thing likely to produce a difference of opinion or a protracted meeting, that he would venture to assure the Noble Lord beforehand against being kept beyond the time winch would be convenient to hint. He ('slr. Tighe) had some remarks to sub mit, which. as they would be fiee from objection, so also he promised to limit them as narrowly as possible. The object of the meeting was that which guided him, which was common to the feelings of all pre sent—namely, to endeavour to arrive at some nieuns for reducing. relieving, and removing the distresses and calamities which at present disgraced their country. He moved that the Earl of Darnley be requested to take the Chair. The Esrl of DALIN LEY said, that he had come from a great distance after having read the adver tisement for calling the meeting, without exactly knowing of its formation or import, but from a feeling that it was his duty to attend the meeting. As to the honour they intended him, of appointing him to the Chair, there was one material objection to his accepting it. A Chairman had to impose ou himself the duty of staying out a meeting, however protracted. Every Gentleman had a right to de liver his sentiments, and though there might be no great difference in opinion, there must always be shades of difference. Fearing that he could out stay as long us the ousiness might coutinue, he wished to decline the office of Chairman. lie thought that it would be more desirable for Mr. Tighe, the chief agitator of the meeting. to take the Chair, an arrauge►nent which would give him (the Earl of Darnley) much more satisfac tion. As to the meeting, he understood the object of it to be an address to the King, praying him to convoke Parli iment immediately, and to lay before it the present situation of Ireland with the least delay possible. Thinking as lie did, that there was no place so proper fur the consideration of the subject as before the great Council of the nation, and that no time should be loot i❑ calling it together, he still was not so very sanguine as to think that much could be done on the threshold of the inquiry, or that circumstances resulting from causes which had been at work for centuries, and which had b gist Ireland necessarily and by fore seen consequence to the present condition, could be instantly sl:eted and removed. It was extremely easy to call on the Government to act the military in motion, and to demand that there should be an instant check to the prevailing outreges ; but unless some measures could be applied which would go to the root of the evil—unless something could be .done to put the mass of the Irish people in a state of amelioration, rigour and coercion would be ap plied in vain.
