IRELAND. DUBLIN, APRIL 3. THE WEARHER.—We have had another heavy fall of snow, which commenced in the afternoon of yesterday, and continued to a late hour at night ; and although it is now thawing, yet the air is ungenial, and the wind harsh in the extreme. In the memory of the oldest person living there never was such a continuance of inclement weather at so advanced a period of the year. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON.—Addresses have been got up by two Conservative societies in Cork, complimenting the Learned Sergeant on the ability of his political champion ship, and so forth. Mr. Sergeant Jackson has of course returned gracious answers to the worthies. " We are quite certain," says the Mail, with amusing gravity, " that they will prove an imperishable record to the mutual honour of both parties !" Pooe-LAws.—A meeting on the subject of Poor-laws was held in Newry on Wednesday last. Amongst some there was a disposition to urge upon the Government the necessity of a more extended application of the measure now before Parliament. But the wish was not pressed in any substantive form ; and the resolutions carried were de claratory of the satisfaction with which the meeting re garded the introduction into Parliament of a practical mea sure of relief for the distressed poor of Ireland, and ex pressive of an opinion " that the work-houses viewed as part of a system would prove valuable in affording a refuge to the impotent and houseless, and in superseding the neces sity of mendicancy." The meeting also wisely resolved that it was expedient to urge upon the attention of Parliament, and his Majesty's Government, the necessity of at once in troducing a measure for employing the people in addition to the provision already contemplated, " as a necessary means of relieving the overwhelming mass of pauperism, and meeting the pressing wants and earnest wishes of the Irish people." BRITISH SYMPATIIY.—The Pilot says that Mr. Craw ford's declaration of a deficiency in the degree of sympathy felt by England towards Ireland, although harsh, is an im putation not without truth, and the avowal of it may have a correcting influence. We must, however, take leave to deny the charge brought against the English Members. Irish questions and Irish interests almost exclusively oc cupy the time and attention of Parliament, whilst the free dom and well-being of Ireland are objects of the greatest solicitude to the English community at large. ORANGEISM.—A proclamation appears in the Dublin Gazette. The document declares, that on the 17th of March a number of men (amongst whom was one named John Shannon), sworn to belong to the Orange Lodge, No. 115, met at the house of John Lindsay, publican, Tanderagee, in the county of Armagh, and severely beat a man named John Hughes, for re f us i ng t o utter pro f a ne party expressions ; and that on the following night, in con sequence of the said Hughes having lodged informations for the assault, a large party broke into the house where he was sleeping, and, pushing hint on the fife, held him there until lee was seriously burned ! A reward of 501. is offered for such information as may lead to the apprehension of any of the party. SIR Was. SOMERVILLE, BART. —Tile Mail of this evening honors Sir William with some very pointless sar casm, to which it tacks the following paragraph, copied from a Drogheda paper, as proof that the Hon. Baronet "has thrown himself neck and crop over the Protestant pale, and taken sanctuary in the bosom of old mother Church"—and all because "he would be a member !" Here is the paragraph that has stirred up the holy zeal of the Orange organ :—" This.gentleman and his amiable lady, accompanied by his Grace the Primate, visited the convent schools of this town. They were well pleased with the sys tem and economy on which they were conducted. At the Sienna Convent, among other specimens of vertu, they saw the painting which the Rev. Irregular and contumacious Magee clutched in his unholy grasp, as the reward of the foul calumnious assertions which he is in the habit of cast ing on the religion of the ladies of that and similar estab lishments." STARVATION.—A dreadful case of destitution and appall ing misery was made known on Saturday morning in Bri tain-court. The name of the unfortunate man was Edward WCartney, and never did we witness It more awful spec- In 3 vols. post Bvo., MEMOIR S of a PEERESS or, THE DAYS of FOX. Edited by Lady CHARLOTTE BURY.

Mr. Wigney denies that he has any intention to re tire from the representation of the borough of Brighton. o 15 0 U 3 6 0 4 6 3 0 Last night a meeting of the inhabitants of the Borough of Finsbury was held at the Lancasterian School-room, Tabe -- nacle-row, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament in favour of the Government measure for the abolition o: Church-rates, The Chair was advertised to be taken at six o'clock precisely, but it was not taken until a few minutes be fore seven o'clock. Mr. flume, M. P. and Mr. Wakl e y, M. P., were in attendance s h or tl y a f ter six o'clock, but they left before the Chair was taken. At the commencement of the meeting the attendance was thin, but in the course of the evening up wards of 1,000 persons were present. Mr. WILKS, M.P., on taking the Chair, said that he re gretted that they had not some public building within their borough capable of holding the 25,000 constituents belonging to it.--(Hear, hear.) He believed that there never was a crisis in the history of this country when it was more necessary that there should be a manifestation of a unison of feeling on such a question as that which came under their consideration to-night.--( Hear, hear.) It might appear to some that they had met on a question of a sectarian nature, and only of a trifling degree of interest; but the fact was, that they were engaged in a question of the deepest interest-- a question involving the principles of religious liberty__ (Cheers)—and of the rights of conscience—a question on which depended those same principles for which they had so long contended.—(Cheers.) They had now arrived at the period when they had to discuss the question of the abolition of Church-rates--(Cheers)—and to state whether they were prepared to support the plan introduced by the Government for that purpose. The time was not far distant when they would have to demonstrate the proposition that the collection of Church-rates was impolitic, was unjust, and was unchristian— ( Hear, hear)—and that the imposing Church-rates was a brand of degradation and disgrace on those who dissented from the Church.—( Cheers.) It did not appear to him necessary to enter upon the discussion of this part of the subject, as he be lieved that the meeting was already perfectly satisfied of the gross injustice of this impost. He felt, however, called upon to enter upon some details respecting the progress of this ques tion. Soon after his election as a Member of Parliament, he obtained a return of the amount of Church-rates collected in every parish of England and Wales. It was not without some difficulty he obtained this return from the Liberal Ad ministration that was then in power. He was told that it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to obtain such returns as he asked for. Those objections showed that tho Government at the time were indisposed to agree to those in quiries which he wished to institute into this subject. For tunately he at. length obtained these returns, and from them it appeared that the sum annually levied for Church-rates amounted to 597,0001 —( Hear.) Immediately this return was laid on the table Mr. Divett gave notice of a motion on this subject, and although it was opposed by the Government, the matter was taken up so se'riously by the Reformed House of Commons, that Lord Althorp stated the question would be taken up by the Government. In 1834 Lord Althorp brought the subject under the attention of Parliament, and the propo sition which that Noble Lord made was a matter of surprise, when they recollected the abuses connected with the adminis tration of Church -rates, and which had been so strenuously denied, for it showed that the amount extorted from all classes of the population for Church-rates was much larger than was necessary. Lord Althorp did not think it necessary to take 597,000/. to defray those expenses for which Church-rates were levied, namely, the amount necessary for the mainte nance of the buildings for religious worship, and other ex penses of a similar character. It appeared from that Noble Lords proposition that, instead of 597,0001. being called f,r, 250,000/. was all that the Government thought was needful to secure the maintenance of the edifices of the Church, and that this latter sum should be taken from the land-tax, in stead of being imposed as at present. When this propo sition was made, its supporters were not told, as the objectors to Church-rates were now, that they were the opponents of religious worship ; for this had been often declared in certain recent declamatory addresses, which were made in a certain place, where they were also told that the supporters of Church-rates were solely the advocates of the religious instruction of the poor.—( Hear.) With respect to Ireland, a proposition was made by Lord Stanley to do away with Church-rates. In that country the evil of their conti nuance was even more manifest than in this country; and the measure of that Noble Lord, who was now such a strenuous supporter of Church -rates, was passed into a law. The re turns laid before Parliament relative to Church-cess in Ire land exhibited the most extraordinary instances of abuse. In one parish in Ireland two pipes of wine were laid in annually, nominally for sacrament wine; and there were only thirteen Protestants (as we understood the Hon. Gentleman) in the parish. In another parish, in which the Catholic population was fifty to one to the Protestant, and where none of the latter were communicants, it appeared from tLe returns that three dozen of excellent port wine was supplied to the Rector of the parish. In another parish the Incumbent, who was a Bishop, not only charged for the purchase of his lawn and his cambric and his linen, but also for a silver scent-bottle.—(Hear, hear, hear, and great laughter.) Here was an instance of a charge out of the Church-cess for an article more fitting for a lady's toilet than for a place of reli gious worship, and for the use of the minister.—( Hear, hear.) The abuses were so gross in Ireland that they had been got rid of, and the man alio brought forward the plan, havil , r, in view that object, was now one of their most strenuous advo cates in this country.— ( Hear, hear.) But lie was satisfied that the people of England would be resolved, as the people of Ireland were, to be relieved from this unjust and oppressive impost.—( Hear, hear.) In many parishes there had been a wasteful expenditure of the Church-rates, and large sums had annually been laid out in bacchanalian entertainments.— ( Hear, hear.) Was it just that money should be extorted from the conscientious Dissenter, or Quaker, not only for the legitimate objects of Church -rates, but also for such pure poses as those he had just alluded to ?—( Hear, hear.) When Lord Althorp proposed that 250,000/. should be taken out of the land-tax in lieu of Church-rates, Mr. Hume, with that manliness which he always manifested, de clared that he could not consent to anything less than the total abolition of Church -rates, and that he vas determined to oppose the Noble Lord's proposition to the utmost. The decision of tlia House of Commons was taken on this question, and Lord Althorp was supported by the Tories and high-church party, who were now moving heaven and earth in opposition to the plan of the present Government, and who were canvassing every parish, and getting up close meetings at the Freemasons' Tavern and other similar places against it. The Noble Lord, however, was compelled by Mr. Hume, Mr. Duncombe, by himself, and other Members, to desist, for they and the other gentlemen who voted in the minority declared that nothing would satisfy them u n l ess Ch urc h- rates were entirely abolished.—(Hear, hear.) Lord Althorp, therefore, did not press forward his measure, as he found that it was not acceptable to the Dissenters. 'The matter then rested until the accession of Sir Robert Peel to office at the end of 1834. That Right Hon. Gentleman sent for two or three of the leading Dissenters to Downing-street, and told them that he could accomplish much more for them than the Whigs could, and that he was disposed, by the abolition of Church -rates, or by another measure which they could sug gest, provided there was no sacrifice of principle, to meet their views.—( Hear, hear.) On the opening of the Par liament Sir Robert Peel said that it was his inten -tion to propose some measure by which the burden of tithes on the landed interest might be removed, and also to relieve the Dissenters from Church-rates. When the time for the explanation of his views arrived they ought not to forget that Sir Robert Peel still proposed that only 260,0001. should be given in lieu of Church -rates, and ad mitting that the sum which he proposed to apply was all that was necessary for the maintenance of the worship of the Church. He proposed, however, that instead of taking the amount from the land-tax it should et once be charged' to the Consolidated Fund. The Right Hon. Baronet put it to him, and other Dissenters in the House of Commons, whether they would accept this measure ; but he and his friends con stantly stated that it was not to the amount of the tax that they objected, but to the principle of it; and whether it was placed on the land-tax or on the Consolidated Fund, or con tinued in its present form, it was alike objectionable, and a great evil would exist ; for one class of the Christian com munity dissenting from the Establishment should not be compelled to contribute to the maintenance of edifices and to a form of worship i n w hi c h they did not participate, and they would never cease to oppose such a state of things.— ( Hear, hear.) Could the Dissenters be expected to do so when they recollected the case of Mr. Child, of Bungay, and other similar cases ?—( Hear, hear, hear.) He did not wish to extol too highly the conduct of the pre sent Government ; but he could not help saying that they de served the highest credit for the decision and energy they had manifested ; and he would venture to assert that the measure was more extensive and satisfactory than their friends could have anticipated that it would have been. In what had been proposed there was no compromise of principle. The decla ration went forth as if soun d e d f rom a trumpet i n every car, and which vibrated in every heart, that Church -rates were to be entirely abolished.—( Cheers.) He wished that the prin ciple and details of this measure should be fully explained in every part of the empire,. and then he was satisfied that the fears and phantoms which had been excited with so much care in so many of the small hamlets in the cauntry, would clear away as the morning dew, and thus the attelnpts of those who had exerted themselves to prevent the triumph of a public cause would be thwarted. His Majesty's Ministers said that they would preserve the Church, and would preventlhe sepa ration of Church and State. He therefore said, that his Ma jesty's Ministers had adopted a right principle when they fixed themselves on the rock on which they had rested.—( Hear.) They had undertaken to raise out of the finances of the Church all that was necessary, after Church-rates were 'abolished, to preserve the edifices of the Church.—( Cheers.) Such was the plan of his Majesty's Ministers, and when it was more gene rally understood he was sure that not only the Dissenters but the Churchmen would be satisfied with it. He thought, therefore, that his Majesty's Ministers on this measure had entitled themselves to the support of all Dissenters, as well as every well-regulated member of the Establishment.—( Hear. ) He might be told that there were many opposed to the plan of ..,0, Aig.,_ -•,,,z"- - ------- his M ' y's Ministers. If any st%ch vres6fge;t, he invited .he come forward and state, th eir okieetious, for he was = d that information and int:full' svottld get rid of all such ections. Before he Sat down, he wish 'to refer to two let- ters which he had received on the subjec 0/Church-rates from two members of the Government- -lie me it the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lord Hollant I.—(Thesflon. Gentleman then read these letters.)' The fir.s, e from Lo litellanJes,as. to the effect, " That, exclusive of et 'e measure of the Govern.. ment resting on the principle of reli.gious liberty, the misre- • presentations by which it had been calumniated were more shameful than any which he recolle& zed to have been resorted to on any previous occasion, and evene.agains t the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts." Such was the opinion of Lord Holland, who had grown grey in tithe. 'seating the princip'es of' civil and religious liberty when that cawese was not so popular as it. was at present.—(Cheers.) The. Han. and Learned Gentlemen then read the letter of the Chancellor of :he Ex. chequer, which was to the effect, " tin it much chenoue had been excited against the proposition sus itaitted to Parliament, but he felt convinced that when the proposition Ives well understood it would be found to give full . relief to the Protes tant Dissenters, and at the same time to nnsure the iniportaat object of securing permanence to the Clh urch, and thus re move many of the obstacles which now interfered with its sphere of usefulness. He was convinced t hot it was desirable, both for the sake of the Church of England and of the Dis • senters, that they should be removed from ;ha apparently anta gonist hostile positiOns in which thek we to placed, had that thus they would be left at . liberty. to t eed° rra their important duties of Christian instruction, in which. there was such a large sphere open for their exertions." . —CCheers. ) He was proud that such were the sentiments o f iiis Majesty's Minis ters, and he trusted that they would be sln , ported in the plan they had brought forward by the suppoitt of that and many similar meetings of the kind.—( Cheers.), Dr. BIEKBECK proposed the first yes o'll.ution—" That this i meeting are of opinion that every religious ci 'enomination should provide the funds necessary for maintaining: its own fabrics and worship." He confessed that it was a mat ter of great satisfac tion that the Church would be able, - out co ' its own resources, to provide for the expenses of religious Worsl iip in the churches, as well as for the maintenance of those e 3 ifices.--(Cheers.) It was also a matter of great satisfaction t o him that neither the lessors nor the lessees would be injured by the proposed arrangement. On the contrary, those farr, as TS who occupied Church lands would hold them on a more s ?cure tenure, and they would consequently be better cultivat ed, and thus the country would be greatly benefited.—( Hear... ) A more admi rable, a more just, plan th an th at p ropose d by the Government it was impossible to conceive : he therefore trusted that they would join in - the support of those who had promulgated it, so that it might be proceeded with to maturity. Mr. J. G. SPARKS seconded the motion. The motion was then put, and carried un a nimously. The Rev. Dr. BENNETT, of Islington, p.m posed the second resolution, " That this meeting express unfeegnecl satisfaction that the House of Commons has affirmed tlsv resolution intro duced by the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exclieqner, by which it has been determined that Chin ch-rates shall be abolished." The Rev. Gentleman addressed the meeting in a long and eloquent speech, for which we '-have not room for more than an outline ; we have also been obliged greatly to curtail the subsequent speeches. It might appear a matter of hocus pocus, or to use a well-known te.esn, something like thimble-rigging, to say that they would defray all those ex penses which were now paid by the Churche..eates without im posing the charge on any one ; but if they rooked a little far ther into the matter they would find that by improving the te nure on which ecclesiastical property was now let this result would Le obtained. These lands were now 'let at a compara tively small rental, but fines were taken at every renewal of the lease; namely, once in seven years. Thcese tines were now to be abolished, and there was to be a fixed rectal. Some of these fines were of enormous amount, and lie Lad heard of a re cent instance in which a bishop received a fine of 69 0001. for the renewal of a lease. He had heard a joke respecting this re mark, which he a o :Id . t ite to then 0 sting.. This bishop was an exceedingly pleasant man, and had received' the fine during the absence of his attorney. The latter ors iris return visited the Bishop, and in allusion to the fine said, " My Lord, I find the See has been in motion since I have been away." The Bishop replied, " Yes, Sir, and I can assure you that I am not See sick."—( Loud laughter.) He could tat help feeling that this was the most priest-ridden Protestant country in Europe. Mr. BARRETT WADDEN seconded the motion. Mr. ALLAN, a Member of the Society of. Friends, proposed the next resolution, which was, " That his Majesty's Ministers are entitled to the confidence and gratitude of the country for the introduction of that measure for the abolition of Church rates, as its success would heal the dissension which that vexa. tious impost has caused in nearly all the parishes of the king dom, and promote that harmony between different sections of the Christian Church which iss.desirable for the diffusion of piety, for social peace, and for the national welfare ; and that th:s meeting pledge themselves to employ every lawful and constitutional means to effect the speedy abolition of the un just and obnoxious burden of Church-rates." Mr. BOYEETT, Secretary of the Anti-Church-rate Society, seconded the motion. This resolution was then put and carried ; immediately after which, a person in the body of the meeting, apparently a labouring man, rose to oppose any motion of thanks to his Majesty's Ministry. Ha went on indulging for some few minutes in a tirade of abuse on the Government for their sup port of the Poor-laws, but the expression of the sense of the meeting was so strong against his proceeding, that his ob servations could only be heard by those immediately about him. Mr. EDWARD SMITH then proposed "That petitions to both Houses of Parliament, founded upon the preceding resolutions, he signed by this meeting, and by the inhabitants of the borough; that the petition to the House of Commons be pre sented by Thomas Duncombe. Esq., and that to the House of Lords by Lord Brougham ; and that the thanks of the meeting should be given to J. Hume, Esq., M. P., and T. Wakley, Esq., M. P., for their attendance that evening." This motion was seconded by Mr. 0, SLEY, and carried. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE M. P., then rose, and was received with enthusiastic cheering. He did nut think that any en lightened or liberal man could object to the principle on which his Majesty's Ministers intend to proceed —( Hear. hear.) The plan proceeded on a priuciple to which no Dissenter could object—it proceeded on a principle to which he thought that all sincere clergymen should assent—he meant that all religious sects or denominations should provide edifices for their own pecidiar religious worship.—( Hear.) Such was the measure before the House of Commons and the country. It had received the sanction of the House of Commons after full deliberation, when it had been the sole object of their opponents to misrepresent and to mystify. He did not think that any as sembly in which there were not 300 Tories would have de bated in such a manner, and at such length, fur four nights, this great measure.---(Cheers.) But he feared they would have many more long nights if the people of England did not put a stop to it.—( Hear.) He was sure unless there was a strong manifestation of public feeling that the Tories in the House of Commons, and the p re l a t es i n the .House of Lords would throw every impediment in the way of this measure. Before the House of Commons had come to a de termination on the resolution, the Bishops had met at Lam beth to conspire against this measure ; and he trusted that that meeting would be satisfied that when Bishops combined, it was time for honest laymen to come forward and express their feelings.—( Loud cheers.) That measure had met with the opposition of the hierarchy on two grounds ; in the first place, that body was opposed to every thing of a liberal and reforming character, and the other reason was that it would put a stop to the system of jobbing and intriguing and extorting from the pockets of the people which had prevailed to such an enormous extent.—( Cheers.) They had a specimen of this jobbing in a recent transaction between the Bishop of London and the Western Railway, respecting some land at Paddington belonging to the see of London. [The Honourable Gentleman here narrated the circumstances, which have been repeatedly before the public.] In conclusion, he said that he should be proud and happy to present the petition ; from what he had seen that night he presumed the measure was popular, and he would only add, that his satisfaction would be increased if many thousands of names were a dd e d to th e petition. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, who shortly re turned thanks, and the meeting broke up. THE NEW WORK BY THE GERMAN PRINCE-- " SEM/LASSO IN AFRlCA."—Prince Puckler Muskau (observes the Literary Gazette) is the Dick Jones, and often the Wrench, of tourists. His volumes are extremely amusing—amusing from the character of their author, and from the scenes he has visited, and the people he has seen and described—Algiers, Bona, Tunis, and interesting excursions into the interior, or along the coast, form the subject. His descriptions of Moorish society, particularly of Moorish ladies, is to the full as vivacious and piquant as those he made in his famous book on England— with this advantage, however, that the subject is more novel and curious. The ordinary meeting of the Institute of British Architects was held on Monday evening, C. Fowler, Esq., in the chair. Several donations were announced, amongst which was a series of architectural sketches in Spain, by Mr. D. Roberts. Dr. Dickson then delivered his concluding lee ure on wood used in construction, after which the meeting ad. tourned to the 17th of April. The Commissioners of Post Office inquiry h•tve re cently recommended the establishment of day mails; and it is very probable that this improvement, which has been much called for, will be adopted shortly. There are at present .54 four-horse mails in England, and 49 pair-horse. The great est speed travelled is 10 miles 5 furlongs per hour ; the slow est speed 6 miles; and the average speed 8 miles 7 furlongs per hour: The number of four-horse mails 'in Ireland is 30, and in Scotland 10. Notwithstanding the highly-improved state of our present mail system, the increase of the popula tion and of trade 'and commerce, 'demand additional facilities of communication. BIRMINGHAM THEATRE.—Mr. Fitzgerald, the successful imitator of Mr. O'Connell, made his first appearance at this Theatre on Monday evening last, and was most enthu siastically received. - The applause, after he had retired from the stage, was kept up for a considerable time. We learn the following from Bremen, in date of the .20th ult. :—" The trade of this city is in a most deplorable state. The warehouses are crammed with colonial produce of every kind, which, in consequence of the fall in the market, cannot be sold except at a loss. The trade in grain with North America, at first turned out profitable, but subsequent operations have' proved quite the reverse. We have also been disappointed in receiving orders which were expected front England." EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGE.—,On Monday last, at All Saints, Poplar, by the Rev. C. Vaughan, Mr. Frederick Hurst, to Miss Caroline Appleby. The bride was a lady of nearly six feet, whilst the bridegroom measured only forty inches in height. BANKRUPTS' GENUINE STOCK.
