The proclamation was then read a first and second time.

Staweli that his catechizing the Noble Lord on the hustings was improper, such an expression called for the indignation of every mind capable of appreciating its own in dependence. (Cheers.) lard Ennisinore is, I am sorry to hear, shuttling on that great measure, on the granting of which depends the peace and happiness of our country—the finial adjustment of thejust rights of the Roman Catholics. The Rev. W. RYDEN, of Castle Lyons, here interrupted the speaker, by inquiring if he were qualified, by the pomession of a freehdd„ to speak on this occasion. (Shouts of disapprobation pro goded from every part of the Court, and the greatest confusion ensued.) Sir. said Alr. BENNETT, I look upon your intrusion as highly urbccoming, and the more so as it proceeds from a Clergyman of the Protestant religion. Much has been said of the interlerence of Roman Catholic Clergymen at elections; vet here is the Rev. Mr. Ryder, a Clergyman of the Established Church, mixing himself up in the polities of the country and taking that part which his fellow Divines reproach the Ministers of the Catholic persuasion for pursuing. (Deafening shouts of applause.) Yes, continued Air. Bennett, lam a freeholder of this county. Now, Mr. Ryder. I dentand of you, what motive influenced you to put the question ? Grand crime of " Answer, answer." Mr. RTDEII-1 did not wish to have the public time wasted, if the gentleman was not a freeholder. Air. BENNETT-- • :ir, as long as the Sheriff sees that I am rght, it must strike every one how presuming the man is, who /mull assume that gentleman's prerogative, to whom alone in this (:ourt . l shall bow. Now, 3lr. Sheriff, allow me to address the Candidates. I respectfully would impress upon their minds the great cause of civil and religious liberty : and I do think, that when the Noble Lord considers the great stitrject of emancipation in all its bearings, he will yield to the dictates of an honest heart, and gee it hig support. (Hear, hear.) My hold, the times have un dergone &wonderful change ; those who would still shut out so much of the rank, fortune, and talents of the empire, are the veriest enemies of the country. rhs proclamation having bran read a third time, Lord Emile- Mote and the lion. Captain King were declared duly elected. CITY OF DERRY ELECTION. (FT= the Loadotuierry Jonrifal of Wedne.ulay.l On Saturday last, at one o'clock, pursuant to oHicial notice from Richard Young, Esq. 3layor. an election took place for a Member to represent this city in the Imperial Parliament. At the hour mentioned, the Court House wan thrown open, large as it is, it was incapable of accommodating half the persons who anxiously sought am! struggled for admission. It was crowded nearly to suffocation in every part; and the Grand Jury gallery, which is very spacious. was filled with elegantly dressel females, whose charms and smiles enlivened and imparted lustre to an which was interesting in whatever point of view It is con templated. After the usual proclamation was real by James Gregg, Esq. Itis Worship got up and spoke to the following effect : Gentlemen Burgesses, and Freemen of Derry,—l have this day called you together for the purpose of electing one of our citizens to represent us in Parliament. agreeably to his 3lajeaty's proclaims'. thin, sad by virtue of a precept, handed to me by the Sheriffs of the city and county of Londonderry ; and I ant now ready to hear any gentleman who may wish to propose a Candidate to our choice. Alderman CURRY then rose and proposed the Right lion. Sir tienrge F. Bill as a proper person to represent this city in Par liament. fn the mune of his speech, Mr. CURRY was several times in. terrupted by bursts of applause, sod at the cooclusionswas enthu ids:4l:llly Cheered. As awn as silence was restored, J. A. SNYTII, E q.. rreienteil I.imself to mond lir. Curry's motion, which he dui in an able 11:411ter. . _ Previous to putting the question, the Mayor asked if them was any other Candidate to be proposed, and after waiting for some time without a reply. his Worship desired that those who wished to have Sir Usorge fl ill for their Representative should say—aye, loose of the contrary opinion, no ; when an affirmative was re sponded flout every part of the house, without one dissentient voice. The Mayor then declared Sir George Hill duly elected, an en. nunciatinn which gave universal satisfaction, and elicited rapturous acclamations. ----- The Worthy Baronet returned thanks for the unimpaired confi dence reposed in him. Before I endeavour to express my present feelings to you- my Fellow-Chi:fees. permit to offer my grateful ac knosledirmeots to my incomparable friends, who have. en this oc casion, with such genuine kind feeling. recommetitied me so success. fully to your choice. From earliest boyhood my intimacy com menced with Mr. Curry. Contemporcno at the same school and college, oar friendship Ilse been improved with our subsequent pee ress in life,and has remained uninterrupted. up to the present hour, when his partiality, I tear, has placed any merit I could claim with you, in far too favourable a view. To my friend, Mr. Smyth, 1 feet deep obligation. After above thirty years' intimate arquaint ante and constant friendly intercourse, I am proud to have for my advocate with you, a man of his independent genertnot mind—a man s ho speaks in the name of that important and highly respect able lady, the mercantile gentlemen of this city. I expected much from the private friendship of Mr. Smyth. but he has, on this im portant occasion, given sue great gratification, by noticing, in terms of laudatory, my sincere exertions to protect and promote the com mercial Interests of this city. Let my constituents he assured, I snail ever be watchful of those interests, and am confident the trade cf Deny will advance, prosper, anti flourish, in that steady course, which the probity and spirit of her merchants entitle us to expect. Again, I beg leave to express my wannest gratioule to Mr. Curry art JUL Smyth, tor the honour they have this day conferred upon me, and to assure them, 1 well know how to appreciate the esteem and approbation of characters of their acknowledged excellence and worth. To you, fell Ow-citizens, I now generally address myself. The . proud situation in which you have this day placed me. for the n inth time, by your unanimous choke, is a most distinguished recompense for thirty.six years of public life, devoted to your ser. vice; but, I confess. I was induced to amicipme the triumph of tails day, from the gargle, reception and very kind assurances given by you to my most amiable friend, during a canvass for your suffrages made for me before my return to Ireland. To represen t the city of Derry in Parliament, is amongst the most honourable trusts which can be conferred under the operation of the constitu. hand system which now exists. The glorious services of your an. moors and the 'Prentice Boys of 18111, place the fame of Derry far Les and the claim of other cities. But such claim would be of small • unless her citizens, in modem times, nuentaincii. by their conduct, the credit of her Patriots of 18118. How stands this or tou t For thirty-five years 1 have been in public life, and with I sy and pride l boast, that the citizens of Derry, through this most eventful period, have been true to their professed principles. Du. ring the long struggle of war, from the commencement of the French Revolution, in moments of great and tremendous difficulty, pressed even by treason anti rebellion, the cnizens of Derry have Leen always at their post and never flinched or veered. Peace came at last, in 1815, but followed in 11110 and 11117 by scar city and sickness, which threatened to desolate the land.— Derry then opened her gates to the sick and needy, and they posited in from the surrounding districts. The wealth of her c tivens,• independent of external aid. provided for their wants, and bee gentry. male and female. in turns, dispensed the feedend medicine. ; whilst we had to deplore. the lo , s of same of our most valued citizens by contagion, caught in the perform-ince of theta st visitable duties. Again, in September. 1821, after the visit of his .Majesty to Ireland, insurrection, almost approaching in its aspect to rebellion, atslierl frorn county to county in the west and mutts of Ireland. At that moment three hundred citizens of Deny, part of the yeomanry legion, were called forth to peifonn see duty of this garrison, and thereby to liberate the troops of the hoe, to serve in the disturbed districts. That duty they performed to this garrison for ten months. under the impartial and *min. rising eye of the Martplis Wellesley's Government, without one penistiment inflicted, without one complaint made against any in. dindual, and without the manifestation of any one set or trans:ie. tern Or what ix ter.red offensive party feeling, during those ten Months of military service. From this brief allusion to the public political character, and to the generous. charitable, conduct of the ciumns of Derry on all occasion., 1 feel justified in proudly assert. log that they are worhy of their ancestors. and will ever maintain 1. milted the fame of the 'Prentice Boys; and that he is a man to Le envied who acquires their confidence. Vet further let me aunt, 1 represent the City of Derry, not only upon the usual un dershooting between electors and elected, of atieoding to their aricultural, commercial, and other important interests, but noon • high constitutional principle, well underatood between us. namely, an uncompromising support o' a Protestant Throne, Prot:ottani Parliament, and a Protestant ('hutch—in a short ren. snis:e, the Constitution essentially Protestant. These, my friends, I sill support to the end of my life, In spite or the contemptible noisssers, the brawling itinerant agitators of that revolutionary 'emission in Dublin, who usurp, and endeavoor to transfer, the ,•„al r i g ht s o f the Roman Catholics over to the spiritual control of their priests. In such audacious efforts i trust thess alr ea dy di e graced mountebank dc'smers ms; be discomfited. although their ossocianon continues to Clint and ^ xereim unconstitlitional inter insence in the various concerns of Ireland. whil,t Pmteetant So. ;et , is have dispersed and retired in oindoence to the inindste of s Let me here sincerely now declare, that to the Roman Ca tholic population of this community I intend no of!ence ; of that popuicion 1 do speak and tau speak nothing but what is respect fed. In all transactions of life nit conduct is invariably the same tow.rula them a. with the Prtltestants; nor ought the difference of opinion which so univerially prevails throngliout the empire on this political topic, " the Roman Catholic Claims," to interrupt good fellowship or friendly intercourse with nor Roman Catholic neighbour, and ourselves. I rejoice to believe it does not do co here, nor would it any where, but for the machinations and the sel fish intrigues of the ogitatersof their own bo.ly, who would make them their tools, and woo hare offered and endeavcured to barter their elective franchise for the aggrandizement of themselves • and their priestliond. I must now observe, that requiring from your Re presentative perseverance in resisting all encroachment on our Pm levant Ponstiturion—zeal for your political interests—firmness and consistency in promoting them—and full assurance from me, this day, that my exertions would be unrcmitted to these objects; yet you, my fellow-this:nu, would I know deem me much less worthy of your cavern and confidence, if I could he indifferent to the amiable and better half of society ; if I could omit to notice and acknow ledge the very distingui-hed compliment I bare received, and the honour done tome. by the appearance, in those galleries, ammo& female grace, excellence, and heauty; the ir kind applobation com pletes me the happiness and triumph of this moment, and I now, once more. assure you of my devotedness in your service. Sir Geonny:. after receiving the hearty congratulations of the Mayor. (U. IL Dawson. Esq.,) 'and numerous other friends, by whom he was surrounded, was placed in a chair, elegantly deco rated with orange 3ntl purple, and borne through the city, preceded by his own band, playing the" Protestant Boys," " Surren der," kr., on the shoulders of eight apprentice boy., in appro pritve coottnie, creditable descendants, in personable appearance and suriebinent, to the good cause of the Leather A prone, who shut the gates in BM COUNTY OF PERRY ELECTION. On Monday list, at one o'clock, a very numerous Meeting of the freeholders was held in the Court House here, for the purpose of etectir e g two Members to represent the County in the ensuing Parliament. t A i f t. tc . r E tl t. te q. u . s o u l a r l e i: v re e l d in , that, in p o u n r e su o a c t e he of H d i l g e h K S l nhger.si writ, eh?. n colleague,. Adam Fehoales, Enq. and he had convened County Court, to give the elector'. a n opportunity of exercising their privilege of choosing two tit and I roper persons to be their Re prenentatives, and that in furtherance of this object lie was now reedy to hear such Gentlemen as might have Candidates to propose. Moneys M'Carst.awn. of Fruit-hill. Esq. then presented himself to the Meeting, and proposed G. R. Dawson, as a fit and proper person to represent this county. Houle LYLE. of Coleraine, Esq. ecconded the motion. Sir Js Al ES BnliCE, Bart. next addressed the Meeting, and pro. posed Mr. Stewart as a lit and proper person to represent the county in Parliament. The question then being put by the Sheriff, was carried unani mously in favour of Mt. Dawson. The Rev. Trioataa Bleitattosoor, of Somerset, seconded Sir James Bruce's motion, in a neat and appropriate speech. The StrEatrr then put the (motion, in reference to Mr. Stewart, which being carried in the affirmative, he declared both the Candidates duly elected. Mr. D.twsore rose, and was received with the greatest accla mation. Three rounds of applause were given, and the waving of handkerchiefs from the ladies in tit: gallery, and the shouts of the crowd in the body of the Court, must have proved most gratifying to the Hon. Gentleman. After the applause had aubsided, he spoke to the following effect, but we were unable, from the very crowded state of the Court, and the inconvenience of nee situation, to give more titan a mere outline of his speech. Ile thanked them from the bottom of his heart for the very flattering manner in which they had returned kim unanimously as their Representative in Parliament; it was the proudest moment of his life ; and the re ieated matka of favour received front his constituents nhoost . over. powered him with the sense of obligation. He stood there in the proudest station which it was posy hie for a public man to oc cupy, and he gloried in being able to announce that he had not, in his canvass for the county, received one discouraging answer. In being chosen, for the fourth time, as one of their Representatives in Parliament, he, perhaps, might indulge in the same terms e of ex pressing his gratitude as when first he received their suff rages, but his feelings now were far different, and the repetition of their fa vours had. indeed, made him a debtor on their account, and almost ur.cble to express, in adequate terms, the warmth of his feelings. Gentlemen, when first I appeared as a Candidate for the honour of representing you, I had rot long passed that period of lite when a man is allowed by law to act and think for himself. I aspired to the honour, as all youthful and ardent minds do, with a strong desire to be admitted into the Senate of the Empire, as the guardian of the interests a my country ; my heart fluttered with the hope of being your Representative in Parliament, but youth and inexperience bad made me but little sensible of the im portance of the duties which I was an anxious to undertake. Your favour granted niece" to my wishes, and I became a member of the Bride!' Senate. Twelve years have now rolled over my head, and I appear before you with an unabated desire to be the guar dian of your interests; and, I hope, with no small stock of expe rience to justify me in the object of my present ambition. It is impossible for any man, with the ardent feelings of an Irishman, with the advantages of education, and with a sincere love for his country, to sit long in the II • • h House of Commons without catching a spark of that patriotism which is ever alive to the in. kerma of the nation, and which has raked the empire to an unex ampled height of glory. Ile could not hear the elormence of the great orators of the day—he could not see the habits of regularity and despatch of business, the perseverance, industry, and informa tion, so visible in the leading Members of that Howie, without being convinced that the duty of a Member of Parliament consisted in something more than in fronting letters, .or in displaying the ininoitance attached to such an elevated stamp. Ile soon deter nib), d to devote all he could devote to the service of his country. Talent and abilities lie could not command—these were the gifts of Providence, and granted only to a favoured few ; but industry, per severance, application to business, and devotion to their interests, were within his reach, and he did boast of having brought three to the service of his country. When he looked at the state of Ireland he found that the exertions of all these qualities were necessary. The number of Irish Representatives formed bet a small por tion of the Senate of the Empire, and though I.e acknow. ledged the interest displayed by English Members in the af fairs of Ireland, though he courted their attention, yet it was im pos.ible not to see that the business of Ireland must be done by Irishmen, and that the interests of a great country, improving every day in wealth and importance, ought not to be left to the whim or caprice of any body of men. of whom all were well in dined, but who could not be acquainted with all the local CireUM stnnus and peculiarities, which render the business of legislation both difficult and complioited. Some English Members might un dertake our business from benevolence, from whim or caprice, or from that ever-stirring spirit which leads the Englishman into all tile parts of the world ; but the business of Ireland should be done by its own Representatives ; and he entered upon his Parlia mentary career with a lion desire to be useful to his native coon try—to study its interests, and to advocate its cause. He knew no nobler employment—of all virtues, the love of our country is the most pure and meted. He envied not the mats who passed through life without a feeling to lend his humble aid to raise the character. or improve the condition of his country : he envied not the man whose heart did not thrill at the very idea of being numbered among the useful and profimble sons of our native land. " Lives there a man, with soul so t.'.ead,. ‘Vho never to himself bath said, • This is my own, my native land ;' Whose heart bath nc'er within him burned, As home his footsteps he hath turned Front wandering on a foreign strand ?" (We regret that we cannot give a more accurtte report of this part of the Hon. lientleman's speech, which elicited great applause.] With these seutiments he had undertaken the duties of their Re presentative, and as his conduct was now enbruitted to their judg ment, he owned examination, and would await their decision. That decision bad been recorded, in terms which conveyed to his mind the purest enjoyment. Before he preceeded to expliin more particularly the object of his present address, he could not omit the opportunity of returning his thanks to those two friends who had set kindly conic forward to propose and second his nomination for the county. Mr. Haw-on here passed a most just and cemplimen. tary encomium upon the characters of Mr. 31 it 'ausland and Mr. Isyle; and from the acelauuttiona'which followed. we congratulate these gentlemen upon thd responsive feelings manifested by the assembly, In the warm and glowing language with which Mr. Dawson eulogized their public and private tires .1 And now, gentlemen; navtogienren tent to the feelings of, my heart, for the proofs of private friendship which I have received, let me proceed to address you. who stand here as my judges and patrons. In my address ujon the dissolution of Parliament, I courted the most rigid `inquiry upon the day of trial, which is now arrived, I profess my_ salt ready to undergo the scrutiny, and I do not fear the result. I o many the day of diasolution is a day of sorrow and disappoint. meet ; it is a day of annihilation to some, and of pain and diffi culty to most. I confess that I labour under no such feelings; the trust which you reposed in my keeping its restored to you, and you hare been made the masters of your own choice; if it falls upon me, I accept the office with gratitude and thanks. but cnufi. dente must follow the Uttering, or I could not condescend to as k i t . .. hilst you give me your confidence. I shall serve you with fide lity and honour, but I frankly tell you that I aspire to no forced durtincibn—that I covet nut an trouped importance; nn rank oz station c an he valuable in my ey es w i t h ou t t h e good-will of my fellow-norms; and when cease to have the power of being useful, wind, is easy to be ascertained by your approbation, I shall retireinto private life without a murmur or regret. (Great cheers.) Alr. Dawson then proceeded, in a most clear, intelligible, and forcible manner, togive a history of the proceedings of the late Parliament, in all affkirs relating to Ireland. Ile explained and commented upon the venous Acts winch were passed for the im provement of the entinty,—the part which he had taken when they were under the consideration of the !louse; and he frequently im press d upon the meeting the necessity of communicating to their Representatives their wishes and feelings, upon the various sub. jests which are brought before Parliament. It was quite impossible to Milo, the Hon. Gentleman through the details of the valuable aril interesting emitter which he discussed ; but as he mentioned Ott in, be took occasion to give many Nogg...attune, which, if fol lowed, will prove highly useful, and to make many obsetvations which 'Tented to be highly gratifying to the meeting. Amittig the acts which he enumerated, were the repeal of taxes—windr w, and assessed taxer. ---the regulation of the Courts of Juatiee—commis r ft Ili b e in: 8 o , time revenue—the consolidaiion of the acts relit. g to ) s cuton and the repeal of 711 obsolete or oppressive re gulattons—the nnitrtdotent of the linen laws, and those relating to she wasting trade—builaitig of harbours and fialicties. lie nude many useful observations on the assimilation of the carrency, and the improvement it, the banking laws—he alluded to the improve ment of the police, Ind claimed the greatest praise to Lord Wel lesley's Governmerto for the introduction of the Con sta bulary force, and the establishment of Petry Sessions. He explained the improvement in the laws respecting landlord and tenant, and re probated the mischice arising from the juriadiction of Manor Coons, and the s o b-let t i ng of lands. He alluded to the report which was made upon tolls and customs, and expressed the strongest desire to adopt that course which was just to th.: public, without infringing upon private rights. Ile alluded to the state of educe. lion, and to the Committees on the state of In:land—linen laws, and batter trade. Mr. Dawson made many forcible observations upon the Grand Jury haws—exeressell hisopinion of their present do tee tiveoess—of the encouragement affinded by them to a bad omit tion of the public works, and an extravagant expenditure of public money. He thought it the duty of the legislature to . amend thin *yawn, as it petite(' sorely mom the poorer classes of witty, namely, the occeitying tenantry; it was, at the same time, to be approached with caution, as a rash interferen ce would introdure embarrassment into the daily transactions of the country, the facitity of intercourse, and the improvement of trade —he saw the difficulties, but he did not despair of a remedy, and he would desire no better monument of having been a useful and a diligent public servant, than to lease a record of Ins industry in the improvement of the Grand Jury Laws. (Great cheering.)— Ile then allotted to the difKrent Acts which had been passed . tor I the improvement of the Established Church. Ile highly eultonzol the Tithe Bill, and the Act fur enforcing the residence of the Clergy. Ile was hippy to say it was not calle d for by any want oft tithes--such a residence , infettleieruedlirioen was id to b diocese of s l e krry, or e wbeynatei in otherntydisputepseratlaueft tb Ireland ; but lie was always of opinion, that the enemies of the Established Church were too i ndiscriminate in their attacks, and lie had always felt a pride in standing forth to defend this calm:i elated body of men. But in the diocese of Derry, even the most fastidious opponent of the Church could find no fault with its ministers; among them were to be found men endowed with every Christian virtue as clergymen—die most amiable private characters—the most pleasing companions—the most active and npright Magistrates—the patrons of eclueation, and the friends of the poor. From the Bishop to the poorest Curate, there was the same emulation to do their duty. and to exhibit the character, as they po.seresed the name, of Christiad Ministers. He paid the same compliments ro the Presbyterian Clergy; anti congratulated the country, that the only object of contention among these two respected classes, seemed to be in the desire which should most ex ceed the other in works of charity and benevolence. Ile lamented that a difference of political °Orions prevented him from being ac quainted with the Roman Catholic Clergy. Ile was not, however, inattentive to the performance of their dories as inenibensofseiety, and he had a pleasure in stating, that he thought their conduct ex emplary—differing far, indeed, from their brethren in the South; lie did not find them mixing in political or party disputes; he found them engaged in the work of education and improvement of the people: he found them good neighbours, arid he believed they were good ministers; and he trusted that lie had always ahewn his respect for their character, by contributing his assistance, when. ever ailed upon, to aid them in their works of charity, of education, or improvement of their places of worship. (Cheers.) Mr. Dawson then addressed the Meeting at some length on the Catholic Question, which, he said, he would willingly have passel over, if it had not been forced upon him by the strong feeling expressed in every part of the country. He disclaimed any private feeling in the opinion which he professed; lie knew and respected many Catholics, he had many in his employment and service, and he would appeal to them to know if the bias of his mind was ever visible in any other way than in the exercise of Iris public duty. He never al. lowed it to mingle in his private affairs, and neither his tenantry nor his dependents could ever charge him with prejudice or bi gotry. He would appeal to their opinion, as a refutation of the charges of those who did not know his character, but he objected strongly to give them greater power in the Constitution. He did not wish to see them Members of Parliament, or on the Bench, or in the Privy Council. Ile found the Constitution Protestant, and he wished to transmit it to his posterity in the same form. Con. cession to their claims could not be unlimited : it must stop some where, and he would rather take his stand in limine, at that point where the Constitution could he defended, than give all the real power, and have afterwards to fight Mr what remained. He thought that Ireland must become a Catholic country, if the Ca tholics were admitted to the privileges which they seek, and hay. ing no desire to witness such an event, he 'should use every exertion to prevent O. Ile had no desire, he void, for Catholic supremacy, and he thought the history of Ireland justified him in that opinion. He could not look back to the periods of Henry VIII. of Mary, of Charles I. and of James 11. without a conviction that Catholic Supremacy had never conferred any advantage upon Ireland—he could not look to States on the Continent, where the Roman Catholic was predominant, and wish to imitate their ex ample as the means of ameliorating and improving Ireland. Let us contemplate the state of Spain—the people are not less brave than their chivalrous ancestors, the soil is not less fertile, their sea-ports are not leas capacious, and their desire of wealth is not less artleot ; but they have a Priest-ridden King, a Priest-ridden No bility, and they have a Priest-ridden people—and what is the con dition of Spain ? It is the most debased population in Europe. Look to France—arc the proceedings there likely to make us en. animated of Catholic supremacy ? Has the establishment of the Jesuits, or the recent acts of the French Legislature, reapecti-g the law of sacrilege—have they given us any reason to love the spirit which seems afloat in that country? We confess o irseTves unable to follow the Hon. Gentleman la the illustrations upon this part of the subject which he drew front France and Italy—they were delivered with great force anti justice, and seemed to make a considerable impression. He said, those were some of the reasons which governed his mind in resisting the Ca tholic Claims, and he was not to be deterred from giving utterance to them by any menaces contained in the factious prints of the day. . bilat supported by the county of Derry, he should express his opinions fearlessly—and he rejoiced that his name was associamil with that of this noble city. He was called, he supposes!, for the sake of the beautiful alliteration, " Dawson of Derry," and the inventors of this epithet imagined, perhaps, that it contained some. thing ludicrous; but he felt proud that the insignificance of his own name was joined to one which expressed bravery, indepen dence, intelligence, and all that was incorruptible and invincible, and he hoped that he might catch a spark of that enthusiasm which taught their forefathers to resist oppression and to despise menace. (Long continued cheering.) Mr. Dawson then paid a most elo. quest compliment to the lathes, who had graced his election with their presence—he knew dust Derry was famed for the brave hearts and the strong anus of its leatheriapron apprentice boys; but this was not the first occasion when he had to notice that it deserved no less fame for the sunny eyes and the soft hearts of its beauteous maidens ; and he must have a flinty bosom indeed who did not feel a reliance upon that cause which was supported by the brave de scendants of brave ancestors, anti embellished with the cheering presence and the gracious smiles of the inhabitants of this city. Mr. Dawson then retired amidst the most deafening applause; and we again regret that we are unable to give more than a mere outline of his speech. The Rev. CHARLES STEWART said, that he woo not himself a politician, anti therefore only begged leave to return his grateful ac knowledgments for the honour which die electors had conferred upoa his brother—an honour which his family had long enjoyed. His brother's political opinions might be different from those en. tertained by ma , y of the electors, but they were the honest con victions of hie heart—they were opinions which had been derived from Mr. Pitt, and his brother had imbibed them from his cousin Castlereagh. Mr. Dawson, and John Stewart, Esq., another brother of the Representative, were then chaired through all the principal streets of the city, preceded by a hand of music, playing the " Protestant Rays,"—" No Surrender,"—" Nancy Dawson," &c.—and follow ed by an immense concourse of people. Mr. Dawson's colours were orange and blue, Mr. Stewart's blue and white. There was nut the slighest disturbance during the day. COUNTY OF A RMAGII ELECTION. JUNE 21. On Wednesday* County Court was held in the Court-house, for the election of two Knights to represent this county in Parliament. The concourse of freeholders was very great. At one o'clock, the doors being thrown open, the rush into the Court was tr.:mentions. In a few minutes every place wait full, literally crammed. On Mr. Brownlow entering the Conn-house, he was received with a deafen ing peal of cheers. mingled with shouts of " Caulfield for ever!"— Vernon for ever !"—" Waterloo Hero!" When Colonel Blacker entered,lac was greeted with a burst of cheers—then followed a series of groans, hisses, cheers, and other expressions of populaz feeling. Sir Cape! Molyneux entered, and was hailed with Mud and reiterated cheers. At hall.nast oue, the Sheriff produced his Majesty's writ, and gave it to Mr. G. Scott, his deputy, to read. During the reading there was an attentive silence; but as soon as the last words were spoken, the shouts of " Verner for ever !"—(cheers and hisses)—" Browulow for ever !" &c. were just as great as before. The Sheriff having called silence, proceeded to address the meet ing. Ile said they had just heard hit Majesty's writ read, and all lie requested front the meeting. was, that etch of the Candidates should get a patient, impartial. and candid hearing. ITany dis turbance occurred, he added, he would resort to the authority vested in hint to restore order. After which— Sir C. MOLYNEUx rose, he said, to take the liberty of propos ing his friend. Mr. Caulfield, as Member for the County. Ile w as an independent character, and a firm patriot. England could not influence him, and there was not abetter Protestant than himself. (Cheers.) Ile knew their selfish motivcs— (Here the lion. Baronet was obliged to desist, owing to the con. fusion of the meeting. Ile immediately withdre,e.] At this period the pressure wart excessive; a pin's head could not have fallen front tine ceiling to the floor, the people were so dense. The Sheriff called silence several times, and begged, for God's sake, they would keep quiet, and let them proceed. W. APGF.ounit But ND seconded the nomination of the Han. 11. Caulfield; three times he attempted to address the Meeting befere he could obtain a hearing; when he succeeded, he said, Gentlemen and Ereeholders of the County of Armagh. it is almost unnecessary tor me to delineate the merits of Mr. Catilfiele, whom I have the bottom. of seconding this day—uf a man whose character and conduct bus been so justly applauded—and, front the support which has been given hint, I Nhould ultimate his principles are in perfect laceordane, with his constituents' feellinga. He (Mr. Bond) concluded with expresaing his opinion, titat the lion. H. Caulfield was a lit person to represent the county. L. Doustw, next addressed the Chair.—He was aware. he said, that in the part which he was taking in this election, he differed in opinion from many gentlemen around him, for whom he had the highestiespect ; but he would yield to no:te of them in attachment, to the Conteitition end the Pretestant Establishment. He said they only differed in the mode of supporting these attachments. In the opinion wild' lie kid formed, he found twiny of the noblemen and gentlemen a file.. United Kingdom agreed and with a view of supporting them. lie would propose Mr. Charles Bmwnlow, aria fit anal prop- r iaceson to represent this comity in Parliament. W. :11•Wir.Lissis, Esq., Armagh, seconded Mr. Dubbin's nomination. Colonel BLACKER then presented himself. Ile could have wished, he said, that the nomination had devolved upon a person with better claims to attention. Not that he felt any reluctance to support a cause to which lie (Colonel Blacker) hall sliewn un changed and fixed attachment; but he felt deeply that the high hopes which were formed had not been real zed. Gentlemen, said he, the stir which he saw rise so brightly, after ascending above our horizon, and rising so gloriously, has fallen from its zenith. Gen tlemen, as to the causes which induced the Ilamourable Gentleman to abandon that line of politics, I am not prepared to any anything inculpatory. I have known him (Mr. Brownlow) too long not to believe he acted from the purest motives. lie (Colonel Blacker) would be prod to submit to the gentlemen present those talents, which never shone more brightly than at first ; and again when he (Mr. llrownlow) voted with those who would deprive the foriy.shilling freeholders of their right to vote. Ile knew he (Mr. Brow/plow) was not one of those that Iladienlolie had any thing to say to in the transaction. (Cheers. and smiles from the ladies.) Ladies may laugh ; hut, Gentlemen, said he, there is none of the conjuror about him. Gentlemen, I Lye conceded to him rectitude of intention and I trust the same may be allowed to us. I (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I own with extreme conetrn. that the Hon. I Henry Caulfield—one whom (although opposed to me in political opinions), no man respects more than I do —one, whose demeanour has won, whose courtesy is gentlemanly, with co. cern, I bay, he has acted in such a manner as demands an explanation. colonel Verner, any friend, came forward. on this occasion, under the int • impression that Mr. Caulfield would stand neuter, as lie had de clared he would—but, Gentlemen, a few hours after ColoneW. had announced hill intention to the electors, Lord Charleniont engaged to support Mr. Brownlow. Now, I would cell all the persons present to lay their hands on their hearts and sny if, when he (Mr. C.) made that declaration, it was not distinctly understood he spoke of the neutrality of his brother's tenantry—his brother's overwhelming tenantry. What was he (Mr. C.) if idiom of this great support ? What was in his power of either vow or acres. more than any man who stands on the poll of the country ?(Chem's.) A mighty neutrality ! when, as the song sings, " I stood by myself alone, For nobody else had I." But it is a point. said he. so preposterous, I know not how It can be defended ; I will not, therefore, detain the Meeting. Col. Blacker went on to say lie had to propose a man—a gallant soldier, a wa terloo hero, and an unchangeable supporter of the Protestant Con stitution—his friend Colonel Verner. Ile called on the freeholders to come forward as one men, to imitate their friends in Dublin, anal they sere sure of seta esa—to give "a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether." ATh I NJON, Esq., Loughall, seconded Mr. Blacker's no mination. Colonel Blacker withdrew.—Mr. Brownlow called to him to stay and heat a reply. The &Mitre then put the question in the usual form, but de clared it was absolutely impossible to decide who had the poll. He would therefore take the sense of the county by vows. Mr. C UT. FIE t.D shortly addressed the electors, and denied that he had formed a coalition with Mr. Brownlow. Front the great noise, and tumult, and outrage, with which Mr. Brownlow was treated in the well-packed Court-house by Orange partizane, much of 3lr. Brownlow a speech was hair, and the continuance of the tumult material y shortened the address of that gentleman. He made vario.ts attempts to continue his address, but to no effect ; nor did we notice any great exertion's by his op ponent to persuade his yelling, hooting, supporters to abate this early specimen of high Protestant liberality. Ire were under the speaker, yet still we could but imperfectly catch the senti ments of 3lr. Brownlow, spoken with great and frequent inter. luptione. His address was to the following effect:— " Gentlemea—l request your patient hearing; I request it in regard to rile, and in justice to yourselves; for if you do not hear me, you prove yourselves unjust; though my errors may be ever so heinous—all then, the greatest criminals, the housebreaker and the incendiary, and the murderer, who have been caught in the acts of their depravity, are allowed witnesses and counsel, and to make their cien detente before the Judge and Jury in a silent Court. There is no nation so barbarous, no Government so des potic, which does not hear the accused before lie is convicted. (Great murmurs.) What, Gentlemen, do you aspire to exceed the most uncivilized nation ? • Are tine lotty.minited Protestants of Armagh more unjust than the Turk and the Heathen. (Con tinued murmurs.) Gentlemen, by this conduct you condemn yourselves, not me. The Colonel wino proposed 3lr. Verner, likened me to a fallen star, and Mr. Verner to a star which had shot up from the earth to the clouds. Ile is as unhappy in hie poetry tie in his prose; but it was said, when you cannot talk sense, talk metaphors, and here we have the advice exempli fied. Gentlemen, I must go on, I must speak, hoping some part of my defence may reach the press, through the reporters. II hat is the amount of my offence. I was sent to Parliament, and have voted according to my conscience. I have, I Admit, voted con. arary to my former opinions and my former votes—that I had a right to do. for a 3lember of Parliament is a Member, in respect to his conduct, of the whole Empire. Had I been peeitiened to oppose the liberation of nine-tenths of the people of Ireland, by my constituent , , I woo authoriz.d to judge for myself. and to act accordingly : that is the JAW of the constitution. I have the law with me, and my conseience is not only satietied, but greatly comforted. Perhaps I deserve this hooting and noise for having acted so long in error. I was educated in certain opinions, lam not a very old man, and I do repeat that the great inquiry con. cerning Irish affairs, in the Session of lap, first disposed me to think much on the subject; because then. for the first time, I was offered a large Hilts of matter and a great variety of con. dieting sentiments on this melancholy subject. That, am I the only one who has chrngetl his opinion at that period, or is the the time when an Irishman is to be trended for ever, because he changed ? Dial not Lord Gosford, the present Governor of this County, change on the very subject on which lam charged? If change be criatioal, condemn him before you Inflict your yen. geance on me. The ever memorable Lord Charlemont, the father of my Honourable Friend, changed also on this very subject. He became one of the most strenuous and effective advocates fur the relief of his Catholic countlymen ; for by this, nothing would be taken front the Protestants, much would be given to the Catholics, and very much to all Ireland. lie knew that this would bring peace to Ireland. and prevent, for ever, the array, as now, of Hese. men ageittet Irishmen, making the articles of religion articles of war. (emote.) Hear me, for lioirs sae! I will stand here ti 1 I am heard. I have acted honestly, and according to my best judg ment. What am Ito gain ? myfortune and pursuits raise me f a r beyond place and sordid expcetstiuns. Hear me, I beseech you—l could gain nothing—l knew I should lose much—l kn ew m a ny dear friends were opposed to my change—l knew I should lose some warm etipporeers amongst you—l must be heard. I changed and I did it openly. I may have adopted wrung opinion., and have persevered iu them ton long; but then and now I have declared those opinionsand breaded eve-y faction; norehall this unmanly in'. quitous conduct thew me the least from nay onward course. I have changed, anti quoted to you the changed opinions of Lords ( bark mont and Go.furd. I have also changed with the great body of the thinking people of Great Britain, and with the House of Cominone, which has changed 'materially its opinion. A very small minority of the House of tuninnons ter Catholic Emancipation is now be come a decided majority for the attainment of that object, and three times have the Ilouee of Commons of the Imperial Parliament pass. ed a vote for the liberation of the Catholic people. I have changed as hundreds and thousands have changed." Here the noise became altogether deafening, we did not hear sentenc.s, nor even words. After frequent efforts to be heard, yet, neither dismayed eor ex hatteted, we heard him say, he bad been treated most shamefully by those wino cottld mutant the confusion. Having remained about half an hour on hie lege, frequently endeavouring to be heard, Mr. Eraser handed hint a note, and in a few moments 3lr. Brownlow sat down, unable, by all his exertions, to obtain a hearing from the partizans of a most unjust and truly 'Mumble faction. Colonel Vett NE n then rose. He regretted that they should net have given that hearing to Mr. Brownlow which every candidate is entitled to. (Here the noise became very great, which made the gallant Colonel indistinctly audible to those adjoining h's pelsoa) but we understood him to say that he had received their call 'o stand for thiecounty, and lie could not resist the respectebithy that had roused him on before he would not trespass on teem, but was sure of success. (All the - time of has speatLing there was the most tremendous uproar.) The Court was adjourned to Thursday. TILE FRFFDOH OF THE CITY OF NORWICH PRESENTED TO MR. SECRET4RY PEEL. (From the Ain.) Oil: Chronicle.) At the Quarterly Assenoly of the Corporation of this city held on Monday last, it was resolved unanimously, That this Assembly appreciate in their fullest extent the gvat services which the Iti,eit 'Honourable Robert Peel, his 201.9taty's Pritielpal Secretary of State for the home 11..partment, has ren devil to his country by his very able discharge of the important duties of his high office; his punctual, vigi.ant, arsi imparti 1 superintendence ot the Criminal Lawa; and more especially mat salutary ref 'Tin In our Criminal Jurisprudence, by proposing to re peal obscure and frequently unintelligible clauses and substituting others, by which offences are distinctly defined, and the penalties of the Isw more justly apportioned. That this :Assembly kratefully acknowledge the improscme to introduced into that truly constuutional trihnna', the statl , bul wark of our rights and liberties,—the Trial by Jury ; h Cannot Nil to transmit his name to posterity amongst those who de served to be honoured as the great benefactors of their country. This Asseml.ly therefore unanimously resolve, t tat the Hono rary Freedom ot this City be presented to the Right lion.

And it is further ordered, that Mr. Secretary Pei be sworn an llotwary Freeman of this city, at any time, before the Mayor. The Assembly also ordered, that the Honorary Freedom of this City be granted to Jonathan Peel , Esq. Member of Parliament fur this City, and that he be sworn, Al any time, before the Mayor. The thanks of the Common Council were unanimously vo el to T. S. Day, Esq. for his exemplary conduct and official liervic! , during his. Mayoralty, and the suite were communicated to him in a very handsome address by the Speaker. 01/11,D DAY—TUESDAY, JuNE 20. About ten o'clock. the Mayor, the Deputy Mayor, many of the Aldermen, the Sheriffs, the Town Clerk and Chamberlain, a,,,,, , bled at the house of the Mayor-Elect, E. T.

The Corporation then proceeded to tvbethnecnilaCtiethamre.ber:wiralierteo the Right Hon. 111 r. Secretary Peel and J.

The oath of allegiance haring been administered to Mr. S eem tare Peel, by the Chamberlain, he next took th e Freemen ' . our,. The It xco it DE a Cll. C. S.

Here the Recorder reed the Ito enlttfien arearfe e passed at the Assembly, as above given.]—These, S r. are the sen timents which the Corporate Body entertein, on the mutt of the benefit which the country will experience from eou• wise, w ee ,. rate, and judicious improvement of tar begielatite Cade, and from the a - emir yof the most scrupulous impartiality, ty which that code will in future be administered, by the alteration and improvement suggested by you in the mode of impanellies the Jurors, by whom the issues in al cases, civil as well as venereal. are to be dete r . mined. I well know, Sir, that these wlio ere the most deserving of praise are the least anxious to receive it, but it is as imp ose Bible at all time% to stifle the feeling.% which gratitude excites as it is to express ip t , b ne e;n ann . nds h uh ai l nm , dp S p a na r itei w z il e, a n t otns tyoo t u l w o r e ti h it o l n iv hear e m io r run of v7reft i eur : whe g , the public and universal testimony of cheeks and approbation, all assuring you that such approbation was ec e p o alrino s c i etd e e d df: E ltk: tli t e al walls of the House where it w e . first excited, bee that •1 was sin - tulle . euusly co: firmel in the remotest parts of the kingeorn, and nowhere am conedt nt with more 'amenity than in the place where I have now the honour of addreming it deed was the information dimliyed-esuch were the temperate anti judicious improvements Buggered. and so onvincing the res. eons and argument* for adopting theni, that poliecel difference,' vanished, and political hostility, if it did exist, was, I ',hi not Bey disarmed, but in a moment anniesilatal. Let me now, Sir, with the cook-ate:aeons of your new felloe-eitizens, tender likeek their wired and ardent wishes fo y ear happiness and prosperity ; and let me express their hope teat t cis will not be the last time they shall have the opportunity of notating similar wishes 36 000 whom they must always see with equal pleasure, ell they cease to appre. crate public worth and private virtue. Mr. Secretory Peet then, addressing himself to the Leaned Reenreer, said—sir, this is nee of the most gratifying moments of my life. On ids day, the first day of my entering this city, te receive the complime it which hat just been conferred upon me, is a circumstance that melees me truly proud. It is indeed most eat. tering to be thus inintediately divested of the character of estranger and enrolled among the citizens of this great and important plum e I prize it as a highly valuable distinction, and as a bond amine nexion which wilt make it incumbent on me to take a part M m mining the privileges of this ancient Corpor Lion. The manner of presenting this honorary freedom to me has been equally agreeable to my feelings. lam told that it te grante.l net solely on account of the situation which I have the honour to hold in his Majesty's Councils, but as the reward of what you are pleased to call my s r. vices on the subject of our Criminal Jurisprudence. On this gtomul, Sir, I regard the mark of your tp tro'tation as truly valuate hie ; on th:s ground your praise is cheer ng and eventing to me. I an glad to hod that of this imeortant nt toter we take a s:mtiar view ; that whilst you venerate wit I me our ancient laws and spire. elate the benefits derived f om th'm, you still think it perfectly consistent with that veneration to clear up any obscurity that may lie over thtm, to remove any d ffieulty which may be etund to im pede their temperate and p udcnt administration, ard t us to cam firm the impression of the r e xce.lence in the beau of the people. S r,. if any thing could be ad 'ett to make this di:eine:ion more vs. losable, it would be that it has been bestowed upon me through the instrumentality i f one with whom f have been long in habits of friendship. roe w te whom I i av • been tang associated in theism carer col' Parliamentary duty. and from whom" therefor s any cues. Aliment comes invested a ith ad Rhine' lucre. The oithe were next *chitin etc el to J. Peel, Esq. M.P., ard he was also sworn it a f eemen of this city. 31 .J.

P lay i rg whilst the procession passed up the south aisle of the hall. Here were assembled nearly 60 ladies and gentlemen of this county and city. in reed hy the New 3layor ao I Mrs. Booth to perake of a banquet which was of the into t sumptuous kind. After the health of Mr. Peel and the re t of his Majesty's 311- nisrers had been drunk with the most rapturous applause, the Right Honourable Secretary rose, anal addressing himself to the Mato.- spoke nearly to Mimes :—ln return ne you my :ewes for the .' d sainguished comPiment you have paid me. I regret that it shru'd have fallen to me I n to acknowledge it also on behalf of. the rest of his Majesty's Minist ra. I wish that some of my Honourable Colleagues had bean present o witness one of the most splendid spectacles I ever beheld, one of which 1 had fceterd no conception, for to it r o mile civic banquet con pro duce a tar .111.1. I wish they had been present, in order teat they might have had the personal grattfication of witnessing dee eerie:al manner in which you received their heaths. It would be en ungenerous return for your kindness were I to make Cis an occasion for introducing the hush anti discordant sueject ne parry politics. I ant sure that my Honourable Colleagues wII heel highly gratified by the compliment you have paid them ; but I trust you will nut think them so weak as to sacrifice their own honest opinions, nod the interest of the veinal, for the sake of s little cheap popularity. A little month since and the proseerity of this city was to me nit that of any other place, and was only tonne coed in my mind with the general interest and welfare of tie country. The name of Norwich was, indeed, fateiliat to my mind, from its greet antiquity, and its importance as a manure:- turing city. In that month, however, what a chang e b ee ate: n place Event,' and ciretimvancee have produced a new coen.c• non—produced it, toe, in a manner pecul arty linnotrable bell et those who formed it and those by wlront it was farmed.
