The following is a report of the speech delivered by the Hon. Member for Manchester at the dinner given to him on Monday evezing by the Liberals of Belfast:— Mr. JOHN BRIGHT rose amid loud applause, and said,—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I rise to address you under circumstances of more than usual diffi culty, for, until a very short time ago, I was an entire stranger to every person within thin room; and not only to every person here present, at least with the exception of my respected friend, Mr. Crawford, but also to every individul among the enterprising popu lation of Belfast. I feel deeply sensible of the kindness with which our respected chairman has introduced my name, and also the abundant favours with which you, gentlemen, have been pleased to receive it ; and I am willing to accept the signal compliment you have paid me in inviting me here to-night, as a token of your general approbation, at least, of the course which I have taken in public affairs. One subject which has been just touched on to-night is that with which I have been most intimately con nected ; and I take it for granted that, if there be anything which reflects special honour on the community which I am permitted to represent in the House of Commons, it is that in that community there arose an association which, founded upon right principles, acting upon right prin ciples, and turning neither to the right hand nor to the left, finally succeeded in overthrowing a mono poly more injurious, probably, to the people of the United Kingdom than any other monopoly or law of which we have any knowledge whatsoever.—(Hear, and applause.) Now, I was one of those who were prominently: engaged in the free-trade struggle— (Cheers)—and I think I can tell exactly how it was we came to a successful issue. —(Hear, hear.) The men who were concerned in it had no private interest to serve, and no private ambition to gratify—they found a law which they believed was eating into the very heart of the prosperity of their country—they , banded themselves together for the one single pur pose of abrogating that law, and neither the threats of power at one time nor the blandishments of power at another influenced them to vary one hairbreadth from the course they had laid down for themselves, until every succeeding year, as the battle went on, the right became, in the eye of the people, more and more right, and that which was wrong gradually be- came weaker and weaker ; and until, finally, when the occasion arose—and in the orderings of Providence occasions always arise for great and good objects—they saw, after seven. years of arduous struggling, that victory was accomplished and tlae.industry of their countrymen set free.—(Loud applause.) Now, I have endeavoured to learn, and I think I have learned, a lesson from that event, and that is, that whether it be in Great Britain or Ireland, if there be a wrong, so palpable and so clear a wrong that honest and dispassionate men can be made to see it, then, if honest and earnest men, even in no great numbers, will combine themselves for its suppression, you may rely upon it that wrong will be overthrown. Now, if this be true, and I am as much convinced of its truth as I am that we are here to-night, it appears to me to be a matter of exceeding consolation to those persons in Ireland who are mourning at the condition of their country, and who are anxious that wrongs e s n ta d n t d o i . n — g ( i H n e t a h r e .) tow S n ta o n f di ß n g elf i a n st l , r c e e la le n b d r , a a t n edd which it has endured f o r cen t u ri es s h ou ld a t l eng th p ec u i t ai a l n y bd es e p far beyond any other portion of Ireland for its industry and its enterprise, I think it would be a misspending of time if to-night we did not turn our attention to the condition of the country, to its perplexities, to its wrongs, and to the remedies which Parliament and the people ought to apply to those wrongs. I have spoken of the industry, as I may speak of the prosperity, of Belfast; but I shall not go into a minute explanation of the causes of that superiority which is manifest in this district. Whether it arises from the fact that you are situated between two counties per haps the best cultivated in Ireland, or that you are at the great point of embareation and departure for merchandise and produce, in this the most thriving province of the island, or whether it arises from the freedom of land in your immediate neighbourhood, or whether it arises from your proximity to the coasts of Scotland, and the great ports of Glasgow and Liverpool, or whether it arises from any circum statuec eeeeeetee with tho raoo of pooplo living here, with their religion, or with their ancestors, or any thing of that sort, I do not intend for a minute to meddle with the question. This is certain and noto rious, that the great bulk of Ireland is in a condition which offers a mournful contrast to that which is seen in this enterprising community.—(Hear, hear.) Every man who visits Ireland observes one thing which is more striking in it than in any other country making equal pretensions to civilization, and that is, that there appears to be an almost total want of industry, little stimulus for labour, and that your rural population is, for the most part, in a state the most abject, and, as regards the outward person, in a condition the most degraded. That, I believe, every person who comes to Ireland must certainly observe; and there is another striking feature which no man can fail to observe who reads what passes in your country, and who has mixed in the families of various classes and sects, and that is, that there is, perhaps, more of what is called religious discord and ani mosities, arising out of religious differences, than are to be found in any other portion of the United King dom, and, I hope, more than are to be found in any other Christian country in the world.—(Hear, hear.) Now, I do not intend to compliment toe people of Belfast, because they are Irishmen, by telling them that they have an island so much better than any other in the world, but I will admit, because every man must admit, that you have a soil of a fair fer tility, and that you have an excellent climate, favour able to labour and the productions of the earth, and that you have also advantages of many kinds, which I need not enumerate, but which have been dilated on over and over again in the oratory of many of your neighbours, and in the writings of many of your countrymen and townsmen. I admit all this ; and is it not strange that, notwithstanding all these advan tages, your population is to a very large extent un productive ; that there is observed, almost every where over the country, idleness, so far as regards the results secured, and that a man passing from England and acquainted with what is going on there, and coming to Ireland, mu s t see that, some way or other, there is not in Ire land the same life, intelligence, and industry present in the countenances and actions of the people as there is in England ?—(Hear, hear.) Now, I am one o f those who have never joined at i all in the vari ous charges which have been brought against the popula tion of this island. I am one who, from all my ex perience of the people of Ireland, am inclined to be lieve that with certain variations, as have in all countri es , and among all people, the population probably as many good qualities as are to be found among the people of any other country.—(alear.) I don't be lieve that the hundreds and thousands of men who travel from the far west of your country to all the counties of England and Scotland to obtain a few weeks' well-paid labour are men out of which nothing can be made.—(Cheers.) ',met a number of these men the other day in the county of Mayo, who had lately lauded at one of your ports, and walked across the island. I saw them at their last meeting before sepa rating to return to their respective homes, and I never saw a happier and more delighted class of people. They seemed to be rejoicing in the results of their industry in England—(Hear, hear)—they seemed to be glorying in their economy and prudence.— (Cheers.) I entered into conversation with many of them, and found that they had brought home sums averaging from 4/. to 71. and 8/. as the results of their saving of the late harvest.—( Hear, hear," and cheers.) Now, nothing can persuade me—nothing, at least, that I have yet seen—that men who do this, and do it year after year—that men who make such extraordinary struggles that they may pay their rent and keep their families and themselves in some de gree of comfort and independence—ought not to be, and may not be, in a far higher and better position than they are to be found in at the present time.-- (Applause,) Probably, too, what we observe with regard to that portion of your population which has emigrated to the United States is, on this point, still more striking and still more conclusive. It is stated, on good authority, that in the year 1851 scarcely if at all less than a million sterling was sent from the United States to this country by Irishmen settled there, either to fetch their friends and relatives from Ireland to America,or to add to their comfort at hom e (s, H ear, hear, and loud applause.) Well, that is a f u a l et . which, when men declaim against the Irish population, it is, iifition, they ought to bear in mind, because think, such as has no parallel in the history of any country i n the world. In my opinion it is a conclusive answer to the thousands of charges that we made against the population of this part of the kingdom. I have means to ascertain something, however, taken other people, for I have gone of the character of this over a very considerable number of the large drainage works carried out under the Board of Works in the west of Ireland, and have found that where there was steady work the Irishmen, who, at first, were not able to earn, at piecework, more than 3d., or 4(3., or 6d. a day, soon beeltue able workmen, and able to realise is. 6d. to 25., and even more, per day.—(Hear, hear.) I met one gentleman who certainly ought never to be men . tioned without respect in Island—l mean Mr. Du gan, the great railway conractor—(Loud cheering) —and, if the honours which -monarchs bestow were worth much, and if they wre bestowed where they ought to be, they would notbe given to the bankrupt drones of the country so mith as to the captains and generals of industry, like Slr. Dargan.—(Renewed applause.) I asked Mr. Drgan what he had found in his intercourse with irishnen as a great employer. I had heard he had paid some 5,000/. a week' in wages for five years togethe, and that as he passed from one district of the country to another in per forming his great contracts )e did not take with him his workmee, but engagel the population of the districts where the works were being carried on ; and I knew that by so doing le must have obtained an intimate acquaintance with tie people in every district into which he bad gone.—(Hear, hear.) What he bad said to me was this--" Depend upon it, the people of Ireland want only the discipline of steady industry, and they will giveas good a return in labour for the wages paid them as any people in the world." —(Loud applause.) So said Mr. Dargan •' and I have not a doubt that if Sir John M'Neill or Mr. M'Cor mick, who have been engaged with the people in di recting them, were asked, their testimony would coin cide with the testimony which I have now stated.— __ (Hear, hear.) Well, then, if you have this land, and this climate, and this population, I want to know— and this is a problem which oeght to have been solved long ago—l want to know haw, with such a popula tion, and soil, and climate, there has been no steady industry in your country, and that success has been less exhibited here than in any other part of the United Kingdom ?—(Hear.) There is, gentlemen, a great peculiarity in Ireland which 's not found, at least to the same extent, in England sr in any other country, which may explain the phenomenon. In Ireland the land is not possessed by the people. The people live upon it—at least, they may be said to sojourn upon it —they walk over it, they grow potatoes upon it, they drag out a miserable existence upon it, but they don't possess it.—(Hear, hear.) t believe in that single fact—and a grand economical fact it is—is;to be found the true secret why the people of Ireland, and espe cially its rural population, have made so much less progress during the last 150 years than the popula tion of England and Scotlao.—(Hear, hear.) We are not responsible in our generation for the fact that the land is not as much divid'among the people as we could wish—we are not responsible for the great confiscations which took place between the reigns of Elizabeth and William 111., but we are responsible, inasmuch as, during our time, we have contributed to the maintenance of laws which have perpetuated down to this hour all the evils which have inevitably arisen from the confiscations ofearlier,times.—(Hear.) The object of these confiscations was to plant in the country a great territorial and Protestant aristocracy. The Governments of those cat's, too much like the Governments of our days, did not know the secret of binding one nation to another by the strong ties of in terest and affection.—(Hear, hear.) They thought the only sure plan was to garrison Ireland, and in a manner they did garrison it, and succeeding Parlia ments, carrying out the same policy, have continued a system of laws by which west families have been maintained, in spite of what is demanded by the in terests of the people, and even in spite of the circum stances of the parties themselves, inasmuch as they had neither, industry, intelligence, nor virtue to discharge their duties as landlords, and as, had it not been that they had with them the majesty and the countenance of law, they would either have been much more virtuous, or they would long ago have fallen from the rank which they have proved them selves so ill qualified to occupy.—(Loud cheers.) Up to the period of 1690 it will be quite clear to any person who has read anything of the history of Ire land—though I must say that a true history of Ire land has yet to be written—(Hear, hear)—up to the period to which I have referred it will be seen that, owing to the distractions of the people, it was impos sible that an industrious, and provident, and enter prising middle class could have grown up in the coun try; and from that period down till 1829, owing to the penal laws in operation to unite Ireland to Eng land, it will also be observed that it was impossible for the great body of the people to accumulate wealth. Thus it was that, vhile there was growing up in England that powerful middle class which has taught the poor and curbed te rich, there was no such class found in Ireland, d thus it is that even till this day your population is found to be almost abject paupers on the one pat, and bankrupt nobles on the other.—(Loud cheering.) The result is now apparent in this, that the tillers of property have become so perplexed and contused that not only we who are unlearned, but the most profound lawyers themselves are puzzled as to how to unravel them. The rights of landlords and tenants are altogether in a state cf confusion. Wher ev er I have travelled during the last three weeks there has scarcely been a proprietor mentioned to me to whose name was not added the significant observation, " He is in the En cumbered 'Estates Court, or he is sure to go there ," and with regard to your population, the terrific suf ferings of the last six or seven years ought to be a sufficient commentary. It is not an uncommon thing, though I hope it will not any longer be common, to attribute the great evils of Ireland to the late famine. The men who, in Parliament or out of it, adopt this argument, seem to forget that before the famine there were two millions of the Irish people who had no means of subsistence, and that, in the report of the Devon Commissioners, which was issued before the famine was thought of, it was stated on undoubted testimony that vast numbers—numbers, if I recollect aright, approaching to two millions—were living in hovels which it was a scandal to find human beings dwelling in.—(rieer, hear.) The famine then came, then the collapse and break-up of so ciety, and then the Encumbered Estates Court. — Hear, hear.) The Encumbered Estates Court, how ever, was wanted long b e f ore that time. Why, it was wanted when Mr. Sinclair was among the volun teers—(Cheers)—but in this country, in Great Britain and Ireland, a thing seems never to be wanted until ci rcums t an c es re nder it imperative to meet it.—(Cheers.) When Catholic Emancipation was granted, the alternative was civil war; when the Reform Bill was passed, the alternative was revolu tion ; when 8,000,000 negroes were to be liberated in the West Inoies, the alternative was immediate in surrection ; when the corn-laws were to be abolished, although teen had worked at it for seven or eight years, and had made the vast majority of the people acquainted with it, still Parliament—your represen tative Parliament—would not succumb until the famine visited this island, and struck down thousands of your population. So was it with the Encum bered Estates Court ; but the Encumbered Estates Court has come at last, and it is doing probably more—l have not the least doubt of it—more to advance the true interests of Ireland, to give a chance to industry, to make your country worth living in and living for, than probably all the legis lation you have had since the Union.—(Cheers.) [after dilating upon the report of the Devon Coin mission, the subject of tenant-right, and Mr. Napier's promised Bill to amend the law relating thereto, Mr. Bright proceeded to touch upon the religious question as follows :—] I would now ask your kind attention for a few moments. Animosities, arising out of reli gious differences, prevail to an exceeding extent in this country. I have met with many men who tell me that such is not the case, and they point to this man and to that man, and to three or four other men perhaps of different religions, who, they say, care nothing at all about what their neighbours think. But I have formed a very different opinion; I have been iu many families, and I am thoroughly convinced that there is scarcely a social or political question which is net affected by these religious differences, and therefore the whole social atmosphere in your country is biassed by this very thing.—(Hear.) I shall not go into much detail; I shall only mention one or two of those biassed features of your society, as they appeared to me, who live out of Ireland. This country, at present, possesses something over six millions of people ; you have three churches, which occupy the main proportion of the people. The Catholic is the most numerous of these ; then there are the Church of the Establishment and the Presbyterian Church, which, though numerous, are not so numerous as the Catholic. The Established Church, which, I suppose, is not much more nume rous than the Presbyterian—some have stated that the latter is the larger of the two, at least in the north of Ireland the Presbyterian is in a very considerable majority—the Established Church has an available annual income—l will not say so large a sum as it is estimated at by semi authorities—which I will take at 400,000/. or 600,000/.; some make it twice that; but it does not serve my purpose the more ), to have , the figure greater. That sum is now worth 0 years' purchase, tfoliratthies has granted keeping of a Church for the purpose of i tphuercha sum se N , v o h r ich ab t o h u e t s l t o a , t o e o a o,O tu o a o l l lc . actually sterling, its religion, and with an especial object of being a bulwark against the progress of the Church of Rome and of converting the Catholics to Protestantism. — ( Hear, hear.) Now, let us dismiss from our minds any feelings that may exist there about these churches —let us look at the matter as we would at a question of arithmetic or a question of science, and with our passions unexcited—(llear and cheers)—because the time has come when every body should get rid of passion in considering the s c i o m nil l i a t r i l o y n sonfrplrnerltaendd. by The a grant ant n f Presbyterian 4o,oo oz. Church annu al y i s , which, at 20 years' purchase, amounts to, we will say, 1,000,0001. sterling ; and the Catholic Church has 26,0001., which, on the same calculation, would amount to 600,0001., in round numbers. Now, if the principle of religious liberty be admitted at all, this would seem, so far as we see of it, to be a sad sort of an arrangement. If the Catholic religion is a legal religion, and if it is not a crime to be a Catholic, and the law has admitted long ago it is not, then it ap • pears to me that the arrangement is singular indeed ; for it appears that 500,0001. are granted every year as a bulwark against the Roman Catho lics, and for the purpose of converting Catholics to Protestantism, while 26,0001. are granted annually to the Catholics for the pur pose of teaching men the Catholic religion, in order that they again may teach it to others.— (Laughter and cheers.) Then, the Presbyterians, who I knew are looked upon with great favour in high quarters when they do not meddle with dangerous questions—(Hear, hear) —they have a sum granted them each year larger than the Catholics have, although they do not form more than one-eighth of the number of persons professing the Catholic re ligion. These are facts, but they are not all the facts. In Scotland the Established Church is in a decided minority. Some time ago it was the church of the people of that country, but secessions took place, the most important of which was about ten years ago. The Free Church men are members of the United Presbyterian body, and no man of them takes to the Church of Scotland, any more than a Roman Catholic might the Established Church in Ireland. But the cases are not similar. First of all, the Kirk of Scot land is not a church established by conquest. 4 (Hear.) It is a church from which many earnest and good men thought fit to secede, and there may be another secession by-and-by, and some others may secede, and the Established Church be placed in such a minority that some easy way may be found to do away with it altogether.—(Hear, hear.) Now, as to the Free Church, we know that the members built parish churches, and manses, and schools, in every quarter of Scotland within the last ten years, with out a farthing of aid from the Government.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) But, in Ireland, it un fortunately appears that the Established Church never was the church of the people or the nation— (Hear, hear)—that it never was established here by their votes, by their consent, or their will, in any shape whatever ; that it was established by what was then, and I wish it were not so much eo now—a foreign country, and a foreign and conquering power. That Church has, unfortunately, been allied through all the time since its establishment with a course of political action which has not been considered favour able, or liberal, or just, to the greater portion of the population of Ireland. — (Cheers.) It is a part of the original mistake that this country was to be allied to England by force—(Hear, hear)—that we were to be two kingdoms united under one Crown, by force of a garrison holding a particular form of religion, which was prevalent in England.—(Hear, hear.) Now, I am not one of those who think it necessary that the people of a country should be of the same religion. I am rather of opinion that difference of sects in a country, with honest and just treatment, tends to greater activity, greater exertion and progress, but difference of sects, where the Government has held up one sect as its favourite church, through which it distributes its patronage, and uses it only to tie that country—then I say that hardly anything can be conceived more unfortu nate than that there should be a difference of religious opinion and a difference of churches in such a country—(Loud cheers.) Now, what are the re sults ? I assume that every man here is as honestly anxious for the good of Ireland as I am, who am not an Irishman ; and there is no reason to doubt but that multitudes who honestly differ from us are as equally anxious as we are for the good of the country. But let us, I say, look at the results. It is 300 years since you had a Parliamentary church establishment in Ireland. What were its objects? To conquer Ireland by, or to prevent the diffusion of the Catholic religion; or, further, to convert the followers of the Catholic Church to some form of Protestantism. Has it succeeded in any of those objects ?--(Cries of "No, no.") Is there at this moment, through the population of Ireland generally, a feeling of affection to the Imperial Government ?—(4t No. ..-") Is there a common interest felt with England ? is there net, on the contrary, lurking in the minds of hundreds and thousands of your people such a feeling as ought never to exist, and I believe never would exist in any well-governed country ? So far from our being united under its system, there are many men in this room who recollect a most formidable rebellion, which, but for an accident, might have had very serious results ; and all of us can recollect those insurrections and incitements to insur rection which are discreditable to a Government, even though they may not be formidable to its power.— (Hear, hear.) Now with regard to the bulwark against the Roman Catholic Church. No person be longing to that Church, I trust, will believe, that either here or elsewhere I would say a word against the doctrines or practices of their Church , or the sin cerity of those who adhere to it. I am not a member of that Church, and, in point of fact, I may be said t o be at its very antipodes ; but still I can honour sincerity, devotion, and true piety wherever I find it, and therefore neither here nor elsewhere would I ever reflect upon the conduct or belief of so large a por tion of my fellow-countrymen. But what has the Established Church done ? According to the best data, it appears that the proportion of Catholics in Ireland to Protestants was probably, before the famine, greater than almost at any period for the last two hundred years ; and probably at this moment it is about as great as it ever has been daring the whole of that period.—(Hear, hear.) The people of Eng land are terrified at the approaches of the Church of Rome.—(Hear, hear.) You saw the uproar that was made last winter about it. You saw the Impe rial Parliament for a whole session busy in doing that which they knew would end in nothing.—(Hear, bear.) You have seen men from platforms vitupe rating the people of Ireland ; and the most powerful organs of the press from week to week heaping insult of every kind upon the religion of 6,000,000 or 7,000,000 of the people of the United Kingdom.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Well, they had a church established for 300 years with half a million per an num, for it was not half a million long ago, it still bore the same proportion to the population that it does now ; and in England they have had an esta blished church with ten times more revenue, for the sole purpose, as they said, of being a bulwark against the Church of Rome; yet, notwithstanding all this, they seemed more afraid in 1852 of that same church than ever they were.—(Cheers.) I must say, and I think you will agree with me, that though the object may be good, that mode of accomplishing it has proved a signal and most ridiculous failure.—(hear, hear.) Now, I am for trying another plan, which I want to recommend to you. I believe that the people of Ireland are a religious people, more so than the people of England.—(Bear, hear.) I believe the Catholic Church has laid hold of the sentiments and the souls of the humblest classes in this Ireland to a degree which no established Church has done in any portion of the three kingdoms.—(Cheers.) I have attended several congregations, some of the Established Church, some of the Catholic Church, while I have:been in bitterest destroy po v e r kindy better than their in now, faipast th, or t o t urn Ireland, and I must say that the Catholic chapels, as far as I have seen them, are well filled—that the people are remarkably attentive—that a devout and serious expression of countenance is to be seen among them ; and judging from the con duct of the Irish, putting aside for a moment the question of agrarian outrages—l say, nortimpese,rsecbu -1 as that in all points of obedience with more law, as far as I can observe, and as regard s absence of crime and immorality, they will bear com p arison, at least, with any portion of the populat ion of the United Kingdom.—(Cheers.) Well, look next at their faith ' fulness. Neither them from the faith of th eir forefath ers. Now, this leads us to believe t hat the p o pu l ation is good. If there be anything in Protestantismafble the e to Catholicity, let Protestants go about th e r i g h t way , of exhibiting It ; and, if there b e any good i n endeavouring to convert men, that would be the wa y to do it. The mode already taken has utterly failed.—(Hear.) It is not consonant with justice, nor with the principles of the New Testament. It is not consonant with human feelings of right and wrong, and therefore it h as utter l y and s i gnally failed.—(Cheers.) lam o ne o f th ose, o f course, w h o belies'e that it would be ad van t ageous f or persons o f all religions to look a little more outside than they do, and to examine a little more into the truth of what they believe and practise ; but there is no mode so likely to drive men from doing so as that which has been adopted in this country. If I were now sa ddl e d with the responsibility of making the Catholic Church in Ireland to be more lib eral, i n the sense i n w hich it is understood over the Atlantic, or even of converting Its disciples to Protestantism, I would travel a road precisely opposite to that which has been taken by our Protestant Government. Imagine ourselves annexed to the United States, where no sect, at least of white men, is supreme.—(Hear, hear.) There is no man of intelligence from the States that I ever spoke to [PRICE SD. who did not tell me that the Catholic Church there, under the influence of just and kind treatm e nt, wa s just as opsn to the discussion of some things for reform and change us other churches were. It you say that in Ireland the priests have too much power, priests in ,the circuroetancs s under which you place them find this inevitable. Travel through the south and west, or indeed through all parts of Ireland, and you will find that there is no friend, no counsellor for your abject and suffe,ing population, but the priest. Of course, where benefits, often in gifts of money, often of counsel and of religious consolation, are given freely, the influence of the giver must be great — (Hear, hear)—and, as a necessary consequence, it ought to be great.---(Hear, hear.) I say that if ever there was a contrivance calculated to make it impos sible for Catbolics to become Protestants it was the contrivance of the Protestant Government in the estab lishment of a supreme church. Under that system Catholicity was made not only a faith but a patriotism, which every man was ashamed to depart from.— (Cheers.) Now, I would wish in these matters to regulate my practice according to what I find in the New Testament. Making men think that they have a common country, and to forget their animosities, is the way to make it prosperous. When I was asked to this great banquet reference was made to the part I had taken in and out of Parliament. lam one of those sensible of the fact that, whatever has been done within the last thirty years within the Imperial Parliament for freedom, it always had the support of the majority of the Irish representatives ; and I now believe that, if there is anything to be done in the way of liberal progress in the next Parliament, it would receive the support of a majority of the repre sentatives of Ireland. There is a great attempt making to prove to the Liberals of England that they can have nothing in common with the Catholic representatives of Ireland. I confess, from my observation of the Irish Liberal representatives, that I am of a different opinion.—(Hear.) I am not about to justify the part that some of them may have taken, nor would I ask them to approve of all that I have done ; but I must say, that in the main, with scarcely an exception, the Catholic and Liberal Members from Ireland, upon all questions affecting the people, whether of Great Bri tain or Ireland, have never been found adverse to liberty and to progress. Upon the Reform Bill, Slave Emancipation, the Municipal Corporations Bill, and Free Trade, we always had a majority of the Irish representatives of Ireland upon our side ; and he, in my opinion, is an enemy of both countries who endeavours to make it appear that there are no objects which we can work in common. Take the free trade question and Parliamentary reform, and see if there is a❑v doubt whatever but that we shall work harmoniously on those subjects.—(Hear, hear.) Take the question of the ballot—(Cheers) — and, let me ark, can we not co-operate on that ?--- (Hear and cheers.) I believe that no Liberal Go vernment can come into office, or remain in office, that is not prepared to bring forward a Bill for the establishment of the ballot.—(Cheers.) If, with the great case you can make out on that question, and if your representatives work with us in the House of Commons, I think we can advance that question very rapidly after Parliament has assembled. I will say, upon another subject, that I think you have been rather disposed to shut yourselves out from the rest of Ireland; but, if I were a Belfast man, I would cul tivate a different sentiment.—(Hear.) I would con sider myself as an Irishman—( Hear and cheers)—aud I would endeavour to make my conduct so influence the interests of my country that I should be proud, wherever I might be placed, to acknowledge and pro claim that I was an Irishman.—(Cheers.) When this tikes place, and when you have purified your atmosphere from the pestilential breath of religious animosity, then I believe you might look forward to the day when you might fairly take your place in prosperity besides England.—(Hear, and cheers.) I have been in your country on this occa sion for about a month, I have mixed with all classes, and observed as much es any ordinary man could observe within the same time. I have read much of Ireland, and I have thought more of her, and all leads me to say that this country is a sore ' spectacle before the world ; and that it is your du►y in this industrious enterprising town to lead the way in the improvement of your native country.— (Cheers.) I cannot believe that if the men of Belfast made it their business to think, consider, and act to gether for the benefit of the country, but that they would effect as great a deliverance of her as any good men have ever worked out in any country.—(Hear.) Don't imagine, moreover, that the people of England are hostile to you ; they are not so. I will address a meeting in any part of England upon the condition of this country, and ask their assistance in your be- half, and rely upon it, no matter what supremacy in Church or aristocracy in Government may say, the people of England have none but the best wishes for Ireland.—(Loud and long-continued cheering.) SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTIONS IN SOUTHWARK. Yesterday Mr. W. Payne held an inquest at the King's Head Tavern, Alfred-place, Newington causeway, on the body of a child, aged four months. Ellen Frost, 4, John's-place, London-road, South wark, deposed that towards the latter end of June she was in Greenwich-park, when a gentleman, appa rently about 45 years of age, after following her about for an hour, spoke to her, and asked if she should like to take a child to nurse. Witness said, " No," but she would see if she could find any person that would, and promised to meet him the next evening in St. James's-park, the gentleman saying that he would give 101. to any person that would bring the child up. Witness spoke to a neighbour named Duffet, who agreed to take the child ; and on witness's meet ing the gentleman, he said if she would meet him at the same time and place next evening (Wednesday, June 30), he would make it all right. They met at the Horse Guards in St. James's-park, according to appointment, and the gentleman took a cab and went to Chelsea, where the cab stopped at a lodge, but she did not know where, and there witness saw a lady, about eighteen years of age, with a baby, who got into the cab. The vehicle went towards town, and the gentleman gave witness 10/. and some baby's linen, and leaving the child in witness's care, got out of the cab, and paid the driver 33. to take witness to London road. She took the child to Mrs. Duffet's, but that person being out, she gave it, with the money, to a Mrs. Endecott, who lived in the same house as Mrs. Duffet. By the CORONER—Mrs. Duffet had agreed to take the child for 101. The supposed parents said they should call and see it in a few days, but they never came. They told witness the child's name was George Brown, and that he was a month old. She did not think the child had ever taken the breast. Ile lady gave her a bottle used for babies and some baked flour. She had fed the child on flour and milk. The infant died on Friday morning last at four o'clock, and had become very thin. She would know the gentleman again ; be gave the address of the lady at No. 8, King-street, Chelsea. Oa Monday we e k Mra. D uffet, w itness, and a n eighbour, went t o th at p l ace, and found that no person of the name of Brown lived there or had done so for some time past. Mrs. Duffet had often aaid that the child was a great expense to her, for although she had had 10/ with it, yet she had lost all her work through her attention to the chili. The lady told witness that she had come from the country to take a sitation as governess. Mrs. Duffet was to have had no more than the 101., and witness h a d no remuneration for her trouble. Mrs. Caroline Endecott, widow, of No. 11, John's place, London-road, deposed that she had known Mrs. Duffel for some years. She remembered Ellen Frost bringing the child to Mrs. Duffet, but that person being out of the house, witness took it, together with the box of clothes and money, for Mrs. Duffet, who had previously told witness that she was going to have a child to nurse and 101. for doing it. Both Mrs. Duffet and her husband were extremely fond of children. Witness told Mrs. Duffet that the sum was small, and that person answered her by saying, " Oh, I shall never miss the victuals , and et might induce my husband to attend more to his home." Had seen the child several times every day, a n d i t always appeared healthy, but was continually_ cryi ng. The child never thrived, but appeared glad of its food until a few days before its death. By the CORONER —The child had sufficient fo o d given to it by Mrs. Du ffet, as far as witness knew. Did not think the 101. was all spent before the child died. Mrs. Duffet had given the child sopped bread; but if witness had the child she should have con tinued the use of the bottle and baked flour and milk. Did not know that Mrs. Duffet had ever given the child a cordial to make is sleep. On the day before the child died Mrs. Duffet took it to the assistant of Mr. Waken, parochial surgeon of St. George the Martyr, who give her Duffet) a medical order for the child. Mary Ann Duffet, No. 11, John's-place, London -1 road, stated that abe was a married woman. She received the child, together with the 101. in gold and the clothes on Wednesday, the 30'11 of June. None of the clothes were marked with any letter or name. The child had been pining and crying ever since she first took it. Several neighbours had offered to give it the breast, but witness thought it would be impru dent. Mr. Brooks, a surgeon, had seen the child, and said it was pining away for the breast, and noth ing else would do it any good. After entering into PATRON-H. R. H. PRINCE ALBERT. DEATH of WELLINGTON.

Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently ,saccessful." —Professor Lizars on the Treatment of Stricture. BALLINASLOE FAIR. BALLINALSOE, TUESDAY NIGHT.—To-day, although nominally the first, is actually the second of the sheep fair, the greater proportion of the flocks being usually disposed of in the Race park, and never driven into the green at all. The great number of fleeces which ap• peered to-clay atroraeu vvldenc, tru.uoc.cti..... of yesterday—although, considering the extreme unfavour abieness of the day, on the whole satisfactory—did not effect as great a clearance as in former years. From an early hour the various stock-breeders took up their fa vourite positions, and before 10 o'clock the ground was strewn in all directions with their woolly clusters, the intervals between being closely filled daring the day with moving masses of people, who mingled in the scene from curiosity or motives of business. For a consider able time the movements of purchasers were extremely sluggish, and lots m"ved off very slowly until about 1 o'clock, when the efflux through the Custom gap be came more quick and continuous. The proportion of wethers remaining unsold since yesterday was consider ably greater than of ewes, and of the latter there were few lots of prime quality. The prices obtained were much the same as yesterday, the difference, if any, being generally to the advantage.of the buyer. It is difficult, however, to draw any comparison with yesterday, as the same class of article was not generally in the field. The following were among the principal transactions during the day :—Mr. James Blake, of Vermont, sold a lot of ewes at 393; Mr. Cruise, of Castleblakeney, 100 at 405, and another lot at 353 6d; Mr. Stankett, of Ballydonnellan, 100 at 353; Mr. Hague, of Strokestown, 200 wethers at 425; Mr. O'Rourke, 200 at 40s: Mr. Lynch, 220 at 30s; Lord Dunsandle, 200 at 34s 6d and 378; Mr. Wade, of Cregg, 90 at 32s 6d; Mr. Megan, a lot of wether hoggets at 32.; Mr. Burke, of Carnew, a lot of two year old wethers at 355; Mr. Farrell, of adystown, at 363; Mr. O'Grady, of Mayo, at 435; Captain Wood, a lot of 80 at 40a; Captain L'Estrange, a lot at 333; Mr. Tully, a top lot of breeding ewes at 3155, and other lots at 555 cud 465, with 35s and 37s fur wethers; Mr. Flood, a lot of wether hoggets at 35s 6d; Mr. R. D'Arcy, 200 wethers at 425; Mr. Cruise, 60 wether hoggets at 375. There was a large supply of rams, some of them very superior breeds, exhibited by Lord Clonbrock, Mr. Roberts, of Strokeetown, Mr. Ilolmet , , Mr. Thunder, Mr. Belle, and other gentlemen. They changed hands at prices ranging from 201 down to 21 10s. A largo ►.umber of horses is already in town, and some were exhibitkd to-day. There are a few magnifi cent hunters and racehorses, which will bring long prices. The following is u return of the number of sheep sold and unsold at this fair, compared with that of last year; 1851. 1852. Sold Unsold Total 5O 449 , I Total ... 51,238 The sheep fair, on the whole, is regarded as one of the best for many years. Among the rams offered for sale to-day were a every superior lot consigned to Ganly and Sons, by Mr. Sandy, an English gentleman, who obtained all the iz.s for Leicesters at the exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, held at Lewes. They commanded high prices. Sir P. Nugent also forwarded a prime lot, which attracted good competition. Mr. Ganly also disposed of 50 short-horned heifers and some Cheviot halt-breeds, for which there wo. o fair demand. Mr. A.
