The sum of 1,0001., divided amongst four cha rities which he had in his eye, would be of infinite ser vice, particularly at this season of the year ; and, high as the honour of dining in the royal presence Would be, he was convinced it would in several instances he given up for the gratification of rendering a benefit of so exalted a na! ture. His Lordship was anxious that the denial upon his part of any knowledge of so singular a proposition should be made public, and that he should be most happy to be the bearer of a message to the Entertainment Committee upon the subject. One of his Lordship's attendants in the justice-room stated that a gentleman had called at the Mansion-house when his Lordship was at Guildhall, and mentioned that he and his lady had been honoured with tickets for the grand entertainment, and would gladly wave the honour in, favour of the munificent proposer, if there were any foundation for the statement at all. _ The LORD MAYOR said he bad cei tainly heard that in dividuals were ready to give large sums of money in return for the distinguished honour of dining with her Majesty, and he believed that there never was an occasion in the history of civic entertainments in which such desperate ef forts were made to procure admission. He knew, not, through the Entertainment Committee, but through- other sources, whose veracity he could not *doubt, that multi tudes of the very first people of the empire had made in effectual struggles to obtain tickers, but he did not hear that any one of them had proposed as retribution a donation of 1,000/. to a charity. Indeed he thought that the report was one of those monstrous fictions which sometimes sprang from the ingenuity of the parasites of a new. sovereign. The interest the public in general take in the approach ing event, may be pretty well understood from the vast numbers that were attracted to the City yesterday to view the preparations that arc making ; indeed, it was with great difficulty, as the afternoon approached, that pedestrians could make their way along the principal thoroughfares. Throughout the day the whole line of streets - from Charing cross to the Mansion-house was thronged with an ever changing multitude, amongst whom were many country folks, whom curiosity had collected to observe the prepara tions making for the reception of the Queen tomorrow. They found, however, very little to amuse them, except the contemplation of each other ; and there they certainly found variety enough. There was nothing as yet to be seen on the houses except the skeleton of an illumination at dis tant points, and occasionally the erection of a device, which, however splendid it may appear through the lines of a thou sand_lamps, as was indeed the sole object, looked rude and paltry in the light of day. The height and extent of the scaffoldings in the front of the different churches, however, impressed one with an idea of the eager thousands that will be rOected to morrow. The aggregate of all kinds of vehicles era; us great, perhaps , as had ever been seen in that part of Leedom By to•night the decorative prepara tions will all lnive been completed. Many of the shopkeepers in the line of the procession have given notice to their customers that after twelve o'clock this day they will dieeontinue business, in order to allow time for the removal of the sashes of their shop-win dows, and the erection of benches within. Already in many places shops are quite emptied of their usual contents, it being evidently - of far greater importance, in a pecuniary point of view, to enlarge the space from which a glimpse of the royal cortege can be obtained than to save the expense of moving and replacing the goods. It is the intention of the civic authorities to illuminate Temple-bar in a very splendid manner ; workmen were employed the whole of yesterday for that purpose, and towards evening the west front was nearly completed, the principle features of which are a large crown, surrounded by the rose, thistle, and shamrock, the wcrd " Welcome" in large Roman capi tals, a splendid star, the letters "V. R,." and the City arms. 1%1 0 : 4 e.es are pasted in the most public p lace, to the effect that vehicL"' of aft descriptions must be cleared out of the principal stre e ts o'clock in the morning, ; a:d t o b ti e to be permitted lhursday, The no hnoacceofupnrtocession by nine to enter the barriers after .that hour' nn police have instructions •to afford the public; .y. facility to view the procession, and great care will be taLl7 l to prevent accidents. The river will present a gay and -animated .appearance, the various craft being decorated with flags; streamers, &c., as will also be the numerous steam-boats, with the addition at night of being illuminated with variegated lamps. The workmen employed in the Docks will have a holiday, and throughout the City' business will be generally suspended. The following notice is posted at the South Sea House :-- "The Court of' Directors of the South Sea Company give notice that in consequence of her Majesty's intended visit to the City on the 9th instant this house will be closed, and all business suspended." We understand that arrangements have been made to allow carriages, &c., passin g over Waterloo-bridge on Lord Mayor's day to cross the Strand from Wellington-street to the opposite street ; this will be the only communication in Westminster for carriages, &c., from North to South on that day. St. Paul's Church-yard will be a scene of great attrac tion. The Christ's Hospital boys will occupy a range of 150 feet immediately in front of Queen Anne's statue, and facing Ludgate-hill. Here her Majesty's carriage will stop sonic four or five minutes, while a speech, according to ancient custom, is addressed to her by the senior Grecian. Imme diately adjoining this station is that of the Goldsmiths' Com pany, occupying a frontage of 100 feet ; then those of the Fishmongers, the Merchant Tailors,. the Scriveners, Dis , tillers, Tallowchandlers, Cutlers, &c., in succession. At the east end •of the cathedral, fronting St. Paul's School (which is fitting up in a most splendid manner . for the re ception of its patrons, the Mercers' Company), will be placed the Stationers and Grocers, all whose erections will be handsomely decorated, and in the evening brilliantly il luminated. The. laying down of the necessary gas appa ratus for one only of these booths has cost its occupier 100/. The site of these platforms has been in the hand somest manner given up to the different Companies by the Dean and Chapter. The Lord Mayor leaves the Guildhall on horseback, to meet her Majesty, at one o'clock precisely, and the different Companies will follow in his wake as far as their platforms, where they will quit the procession and defile to their re spective places. It is understood that the whole of them will appear in full civic costume. MUSICAL ARRANGEMENTS.--"BeSideS state trumpeters, private bands, &c., there will be stationed in St. Paul's churchyard, with the Christ Church scholars, eight trumpets and trombones, on which a flourish will be given the moment her Majesty passes under Temple-bar; and when the Royal procession arrives at St. Paul's another grand flourish will be given ; then an address will be delivered by one of the scholars ; after which the whole amounting to about seven hundred, will sing the national anthem, accompanied by the trumpets and trombones, which cannot fail to prove highly effective and. interesting. In Guildhall there will be four trumpeters stationed at the various tables, Harper, jun., attending at her Majesty's table. Two military bands will perform alternately in different apartments, while the elite of the Philharmonic wind instrument performers will be stationed in a gallery within the hall just above another gal lery, in which Sir George Smart and a strong vocal cores will be stationed), who will perform during the banquet some popular compositions ; and, after " Non nobis Domine," they will accompany the singers in " God save the Queen," and other national pieces: It is the intention of the Sacred Harmonic Society to perform the national anthem on her Majesty's return from Guildhall. The use of the extensive platform, erected for the City of London Schools, has been kindly granted by the Committee. There will be about five hundred voices, assisted by thirty wind instruments. ►TTO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. My Lord,—By reason of the commercial advantages derived to the Port of London from "a sigh/," which has caused her citizens feelings of gratitude, 1 seize the occa sion of intimating, that " in the orders" for the Procession of your Lordship as Chief Magistrate of the City, before the Queen on Thursday next, the most material symbol of civic regalia—the typical rod of justice—is omitted. I therefOre beg to suggest, although at the eleventh hour, a conformity with ancient ceremonial ; and as no place is assigned—that " the Cap of aintenance" may be uplie!d by the Imperial Standard Yard. The more special in this eventful epoch, as the Ex. chequer stamp thereon associates the Sovereign with the chartered rights of the citizens of London : this r, gal emblem being not only the signature of " the legal juris diction" of the Lord Mayor as Conservator of the River Thames by legislative enactment since 1836, but al3o of her Majesty's Courts of Common Pleas and Queen's Bench under one measure of obedience and personal trial by Jury, throughout the realm. My Lord, I have e honour to subscribe myself, CHARLES HENRY ACKERLEY. Bath, Nov. 6, 1837. To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

THE LATE ELECTION. (From the Berwick Advertiser.) We can now state positively that the late election of re presentatives for this borough will be brought before a Committee of the House of Commons. Parties in this town are at present engaged in airanginz evidence, which will be directed against both the sitting Members. We are not informed of the grounds of the petition, but we. imagine that little difficulty would be experienced in substantiating, cases of,bribery. Most heartily do we wish the under taking success, as every day we become • more and more convinced that the result of that election was in direct op position to the wishes and sentiments of the constituency whom the gentlemen returned are purported to represent and to Eupport this opinion we could not desire more oppor tune evidence than the reported proceedings of this week, wherein we have the result of the municipal elections, show ing a decided preponderance to liberal principles ; and this day the parishioners have for the third time condemned the exaction of Church-rates, to support the continuance of which impost the Members returned will use all their weight and influence. These tw o mo% itnents may be taken as the result of the deliberate conviction of our community, agaiugt which none of the base influences used at Parlia mentary elections are brought to bear. ELECTION OF COUNCILLORS-TRIUMPII OF LIBERAL PRINCIPLES. It gives us great pleasure in directing the attention of our readers to the result of the municipal elections in this bo rough, by which it will be seen a considerable addition has ts.en made to the ranks of the Reformers in the Town Council. The over wheltning majorities by which the whole of the Leoerals gained their election affords a convincing proof of what Ws itaee so frequently asserted, that the re spectable portion of the inhabitants of Berwick were de cidedly adverse to Toryism, fait bow l it may be asked, if such be the case, bow did Sir Rufane Doe kin happen to be defeated at the late election ? The answer is easy,--- the respectable portion of the commoeity war swamped by the freemen—a great majority of whom- are not geolitled to vote at the municipal elections. We do not by any means say that this was the only g4tifee to which Sir Ru fane's defeat was to be attributed. if We We: ii to 4407 tain this it would be equal to an admission that nia Tiber i candidate would have any chance of RlPPllii ill WA.? wick ; whereas we are of opinion that if the scrutiny terminate in the expulsion Qf the two sitting Members, (of which if it be vigorously prosecuted, few an Plltr , . tain any doubt), one if not two Liberals will be elected to succeed them. Although it may be in some measure true that a man's political principles are but of minor consideration in the choosing of a Councillor, yet they arc not .by any means to be dhregarded ; and in the present instance it would appear that each party hiid by mutual consent agreed to make it a trial of strength ; far it will be observed that the votes of the electors were con fined to the two individuals proposed for each w-rd by the respective parties, and not as on former ocensions di vided among a great number. The result of the election we might almost spare ourselves the trouble of• writing._ at least for our borough edition, as it may be read in lung enough characters in the faces of the party, who are totally hurt de combat, and consequently fairly chopfallen. Not one of the whole six has been electeo, but each of the places is now supplied by the return of the Liberal can didates. Defeat is bad enough, but the measure of de.: feat makes the loss to sit more heavy. A crack horse may lose a race by a head or a neck, or even half a length, and yet not altogether lose his character, but when he is distanced lie is done. Our Tories, or Con. servatives as they style themselves, are fairly and fully in this predicament. Not only beaten, but distanced. Not only distanced, but doubly distanced. In the first ward they got nearly half way, the votes being $9 and 63 to ,50 and 44. In the second ward they did not reach the middle as the votes were 105 and 102 to 51 and 50. But in the third ward the thing was worse than a total break down—far worse ; not half way, no nor quarter, the votes being 98 and 95, to 22 and 22. Such would unquestion* ably be the result of a Parliamentary election in Berwick. upon-Tweed were the influence of Tory gold not brought to bear heavily upon our independent freemen ; and nearly • such would have been the majority by which Sir Rufane Donkin would have been returned in July, had bribery and corruption not besotted the majority by whom the , present Members were placed at the head of the poll, The elected of Wednesday were all included amongst those who voted plurnpers for Sir Rufane, who, were he now to have an opportunity of appealing to his former con • stituents would find nearly as much difference in the I number on the election roll as would place him above any Tory competitor. Every year must increase the prepon ' deranee of the list against the Conservatives till the death ' knell of the faction in this borough shall be tolled. Although the system of voting by Ballot in the election of councillors for the borough has only been adopted so far as that each voter deposits a ticket or slip of paper sub scribed by him, and hearing the names of the candidates of his choice, the marked preference in point of order and quietness and despatch that prevailed during the election of Wednesday, contrasted with the bustle and noise and con fusion of the late election, when Mr. Holmes and Mr. Hodgson were returned as the representatives of Berwick, must have convinced every beholder of the propriety of adopting the Ballot as the preferable mode of giving the suffrage at all elections. '1 he voters on this occasion were nearly as numerous as on that, and the contest was expected at least by the Conservative party to be as close, and the whole was terminated in quietness and good order. As the lists, however, bear the names of the voters, every vote may be ascertained, which destroys the principal feature of the Ballot vote, so necessary in many cases for the pro tection of the Parliamentary electors. This desidera tum, we trust, will be supplied before another general election is required, and we would fain hope that it may be the law of the land before the coming sessic❑ shall be closed. The Earl of Durham arrived in town from Lambton Castle on Monday evening, but is somewhat indisposed, thGu 4 ll it is to be hoped only fr..rn the fatigue of travelling. The Duke of Cambridge left town at an early hour yesterday morning to inspect the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. Prince I.

G;iga rini, Maid of Hcnour to the Empress, and Prince John Ga garini, Gentleman of the Chamber to the Emperor of Russia, visited the Duchess of Kent yesterday afternoon at the new Palace. Her Majesty, yesterday morning, sent her special commands to the Prince and Prinoesa Gagarini and family at Gould's London Hotel, Albemarle-street, that they should wait on her Majesty at Buckingham Palace, at two o'clock. Their Highnesses were presented to the Queen by f l ord Palmerston. The Marquis of Westminster arrived at Grosvenor House yesterday afternoon from Eaton nail, in Pheshire.

The Trades' Union met this afternoon, at the Corn Ex change. • Dr. M'Carthy was called to the Chair, and Mr. Ray was requested to act as Secretary. At nearly three o'clock Mr. O'Connell entered the room, and was received with loud and general cheering. After some routine business had been disposed of, Mr. O'CONNELL rose and said, I rise to bring before the Trades' Union of the city of Dublin a series of proposi tions ofgreat public importance indeed, and to acknowledge with heartfelt pleasure the confidence you have reposed in me, and the dignity you have conferred in making me your President.-LL( Loud cheers.) Practically useful as you have hitherto been in everything that relates to Ireland, I tell you there never was a period in which your exertions were more necessary for the attainment of great political objects than at present. We have confided in the Queen's Minis ters ; we give them credit for their benevolent intentions and sound common sense in their anxiety to • extend to all the same political privileges ; for once, and for a while, we fling aside any reliance on our own exertions, which we have hitherto found so necessary in fixing in the public mind our motto of Hereditary bondsmen know ye not, Who would be free themselves must striko the blow." Upon that we have hitherto acted ; but a peried has come when our friends, and the friends of Ireland are in place and power, and. when we are convinced their sole anxiety is to do us justice. A new reign, free from prejudice and full of kindly intentions has commenced. We may for the pre sent rely on our friends with a hope of success and a cer tainty of having our own resources to fall back upon should we be disappointed.—( Loud cheers.) Many and many a man has supposed that our object was to keep up agitation for agitation's sake—to keep in continual ferment the pub lic mind, and prevent that repose which they believed the country so much wanted. Must they not be mistaken now, when they see us flinging to the winds all appearances of agitation with a firm confidence that we shall not be be trayed ?----(llear, hear.) So much, Sir, by way of preface. There are a few distinct topics which I wish to address you upon, and I hope those gentlemen who so accurately convey to the public what passes here, will do me the ho nour of taking particular care of what I shall say to-day. I shall be exceedingly thankful, for I deem it of great pub lic importance. I do hope that they will not for a mo ment think I presume in any way to influence them—but I know this, that no matter to what paper they belong, the Reporters are friends to Ireland.—(Loud cheers.) The people of the Trades' Union, notwithstanding that they have accomplished many good things for Ireland have ne vertheless latterly sinned in one thing. It certain!) , is a small error, but if repeated would become one of great magnitude indeed. What is it von have been guilty of? Why, you have made Encas M•Donnell the subject of a discussion at your meetings. That is all he wants—it is a source of pride and gratification to him that you should notice him in any way. He is exactly like a fellow at one of our fairs, who goes about roaring " Will nobody knock me down ?—(Great laughter)—in order that be may bring his faction to annihilate the man who would do so.— (Laughter.) So it is with Eneas M'Donnell ; he has the Tory faction at his back, who would raise him to importance should you notice him. What do you care for him ? Your excuse is that Ile attacked you first. If a cur dog bark at you, will you turn upon him ?—(Laughter.) Sir, I remember a pleasant child, whom I loved, and do so still, and once giving me an excuse for biting a lap-dog. " Why did you do so ?"I asked. " Upon my honour," said she, " the lap-dog bit me first."—(Loud laughter.) Your excuse is exactly similar to what the child gave me, with this exception that the animal who snapped at you was not a lap-dog, but a mastiff—(laughter)—and you bit him. It reminds me of a circumstance which occurred in the Irish Parliament. One of the Alexanders—indeed the only one who was for the Union—was beset by his friends, to see if they could prevent him from voting for that measure. Accordingly a deputation of them determined to wait on him at his house, and when they aid so found him in his study. They assailed him on every side—used every argument to. shew the evils which that measure would entail upon the coun try, and which have unfortunately been' since realised. There was no topic they did not urge. They took up the celebrated speech of the present Lord Chief jpsm tit e the court of Qneeu's They read for him that of the present Lord Chancellor, Ivhose talents p l ay be admired but not imitated.—( Hear, hear.) In vain kite they urge upon him the reasoning used by him who was twenty-three rears the Tory Attorney-Ooneral for Ireland (Mr. sanrin). Alexander listcnded to all with apparent attention ; but would eat be convinced; At last, on their going away, one of them bethought of an expo. client, and on turning back said, " Alexander, will you sell yper country '1 Sell it," replied Alexander; "aye, that I will, and' cxceedingl3 glad I am, that I have a coun try to sell,"---(Hear, hear, and laughter.) This i 4 - ctly tho Poo with Er!PR@ giDonuell, Right glad he would be to have a eGuntry to soil, and his religion too if be would.—(Cheers.) Don't mind him for the future, let him rail away in the Tin:rs newspaper agrinst you, And add his blaeltguardisre to that the ether blackguards eon nectod with that paper..- take no notice of him. 1 now turn to Mr. Sharman Crawford, who has al,o,becn the sub ject of your notice. He wrote but six letters during the summer, and had be wittier' the seventh, I dvelare to you most assuredly you would low your Presidvut.--(Laugh, ter.)—He would not have survived it.—(Laughter.) I retnetnber, during the sluing of the IrisleParliament Toler used to be up every moment speaking upon all subjects, There was, however; one of pcculi4r delic4ey which Loki c as ti er eagh did not wish Abler should speak upon, and accordingly requested he would not do s o. " You are not to speak to-night," said his Lordship ; but poor Toler, go anxious Wag be In sneak, that Lord Ca&ileroagh had to hold liito by the is of the coat in order to prevent him from :peaking.—(Laughter.) Tile next morning it was stated in the newspapers that Mr. Toler had died the night before in consequence of 4 SliiTrei.lCAn of speech. (Great l aug ht er .) Tile members of the National Trades' Political. Union would most assuredly have lost their President had Mr. Sharman Crawford written him seventh It7tter—(jaughterhnt he spared rne, and here I am.,--(Continued laughter.) One of the charges he has made against me is, that I made a bargain with the Irish Government to the effect th it if they would c,tive me ;11l Ow patronage of theconntry, I would support them. Now, really I do not accuse the man of uttering a wilful false hood, but it most assuredly is—Le has acted a very unfair part towards me. This subject bas been taken up by the Scotch newspapers, and even Tail's Maga,...ine has circu lated the misrepresentation among its readers.' Now what is the consequence to myself personally ? Why, tl.at there is not a single office within the gift of the Crown that I h a ve not asked for sines,—( Laughter.) One man has written me to get him the command of a 74 man-of-war— (Continued laughter)—autAher has written me to get him a regiment—( Lanett( r)—and a third, who describes himself as a Liberal Protestant of the Established Church, applied to me to get him an endowed sehool—(Continued laughter) —so that I have been pestered ever since with applications for situations, down to the chimney-sweeper at the Castle.— (Great laughter.) I declare most solemnly, Sir, that it would take me ten days to answer all the letters I have got this very morning upon the same subject. Who am I to blame for all this? Sharman Crawford, to be sure ; for as long as the calumny was circulated through the English Tory press it was not credited ; but now people say, what Mr. Crawford says must be true, for we all know he was his personal friend, and knows all.—(Great laughter.) This very morning I got a letter from a gentleman in Stone Quarry, who was exceedingly angry with me for not an swering a communication which lie had previously addressed to me upon the subject, I suppose, of my not making him a Chief Justice.—( Laughter.) So, I have made a number of enemies, and at the bottom of all the mischief is Shar man Crawford. From this place I will consent to have the truth of it admitted by Mr. Sharman Crawford, if he can admit it, for he has leisKre enough to do so, and to state any one appointment I have ever made for Ireland.— Wear, hear.) I support the Government from quite a different motive. I support it because it is the first honest Government that ever was in Ireland--because it is the first Government that was not supporting a faction, and against the people—because I see impartiality at the Castle, and that the friends of the country are not discountenanced. I support the Government because it is calculated to assist me in my experiment of pro curing for Ireland a perfect identification of rights with England and Scotland—l demand that—l sop iy,rt the Government just as much as I would oppose any Government that failed to perform that duty to us. It is said that we arc desponding. I never was so full of hope. I know there is an essential difficulty in a British Parlia ment doing justice to Ireland permanently, but I know it is a difficulty which can be overcome. It will be over come by a Government at the head of which is Lord Melbourne in England, and Lord Mulgrave in Ireland, and a Government which is tinder the auspices of a young, unaffected, noble hearted, and highly educated Queen. Having dismiszod this topic, two rery dissimilar men— Eneas M'Donncll and Sharman Crawford—and I shall say that, as regards the latter, no man is more convinced of his ed personal xisheireittieodn i tabetgurtii the flippancy integrity int e 3c, q y t a t i;l a n l fi l equally ,s e fi tn o llg riL i • a i l ipi n a t bb la o es f , his his discretion, and 4 itpiti_tre‘ of' that which is not common sense with indiscretion, falls to his lot as ono of the failings belonging to humanity—l next bring your attention to a topic of a different nature, and one most highly interesting —I mean the subject of the Poor-laws. Upon that sub ject I mean to propose a resolution. I would first remind you that the evils of Ireland aro politie4l.—((Fear, hear.) Political advantages are those which I want. There is pok eay, distress, and misery in the land. They tell me a Poor-law Bill will remedy it. From my heart I wish it could ; but I have-looked upon the subject with all the in tensity which its awful importance requires, and would to heaven you could convince Inc that the -Poor-law would be useful ? How it would delight my heart ! I would like to put my hand hito the pockets of the. Orange ab sentee—the absentee proprietors who are taking cvers thing from and giving nothing in return to Ireland. I would like that haughty men who hate the people would be made to pay the poor-rate— Nothing would delight me more than even to force bad men to give a reluctant charity, and there is no one who hears me that must not be con vinced that all my personal feelings, as well as the better feelings of my nature would be delighted, nay, ravished, at feeling myself that I was the advo cate of Poor-laws, and if I could bring myself • to be lieve that Poor-laws would be useful, there never lived a man more, enthusiastically ready to enforce such a system than I am, yet all the teinptatien I have to fall into a system of Poor-laws, I have felt 1 bad another and a higher obligation to perform, namely, to - consider their effect upon the poor and middling classes, upon the farmers and the industrious classes of society, and see whether it is oulft benefit and assist them, and diminish pauperism in the land and the amount of mendicancy in the country. I b ete convinced myself that it would not ; I have convinced my self that a Poor-law was never • introduced with impunite, into any country ; nay, that the evils of poverty were aggra vated instead of being relieved. I may be asked is thiathe case of the Poor-law Amendment Bill in England, I opposed that Bill first, but now am convinced of its utility. I thought it was harsh, but now - I find it was necessary to disentangle pauperism from the vines engrafted upon it by the horrors of the system. I nin therefore its advocate, because it is an appeal from a considerable portion of the former Bail ; but that does not. Mete to Ireland, where no Poor-law exists. The population is certainly crushed with poverty, but it is not demoralized ; where every man, with scarcely an exception, from the . seven millions, is anxious to work—desirous to lahaue, but cannot find means of earning wages, And Is only in distress because he is in want of eini;loyment. I mean not now to agitate the principle of Poor-laws. I want to condense the attention of the people of Ireland to the sirgle point, and that is, supposing we are to have Poor-laws, whether the mode of levying a poor-rate sug gested by the statute of last year be the proper mode or not ? Mark me, I Want every Clergyman, of every per suasion, in Ireland to understand what the Poor-law is. I want the Catholic Clergyman, in his contact with the Ca tholic farmers, should understand it. It is not to be a tax upon absentees—it is not to come out of their pockets on the, contrary, we find it is a landlord-rate, that is, tor the protection of the land. The two sectiaes lie very nearly that institute the amount of rale. There is a little obscurity of law phrases shoot them, but I will translate them into plain English ; and I could aith equal facility, if necessary, give an "Irish version of',lltern, Now mark, this is a subject of the utmost interest to the public, and therefore of deep interest to the Press. The sections are the 69th, the 70th, and 71st. The Bill was ordered to be printed upon the 2cl of May, 1837—page 23, see. 69, I need not read, because it only directs the mode of levy ing the rate. Sec. 70 is the levying itself, " And be it enacted, that where the person occupying such property shall be liable to pay a rent in respect of the same, not being less than the net annual rent thereof, and exceeding jive pounds, he may deduct front such relit one hay' of the amount of the Tate so paid by him, or the whole thereof, where such rent shall not exceed five pounds." There arc two classes to pay rate, persons not p tying I. are to pay none of it. They are paupers themselves s h e want the money ; but ewes , person above Ll. pays a part of the rate from the rent, taped to the value of the land, and more than it, if that in one case be a profit. and in others an actual loss out of the rent. This man is to pay half the rate, and is a man actually peeing inure rent for the land in addition to paying. half the rate. Nay, more than that, if he has no profit at all, and even if he sustains a loss, he has to pay half the tette. It is a erac tical blunder. To say it was fit for the Irish upon that account is wrong, for Irishmen are not euilts of pretea cal blunders. Taxation was hitherto justified because taking away a certain portion of property for the public good—but this is - taxation without property—this is taxation upon a loss. I wish everybody to understand that the man who has no profineathat - by means of la. hour makes the rent of the land—should not rate the man whe, by labouring Per others, earns enough to pay his rent, and than must pay in addition half tho rate. Now this Is the scheme of Mr. Nicholls, nag of the Poor Law Commissioners ; and be . , 0,1;4 means, the mom en t y O u .distrain the poor long ;i) - ki accumulate his celamity, and in stead of eilalig44 him to pay a rate, it become* necessary to make a rate to relieve him. With all his little property , sold, and his means ofssuppart and sustenance gone, it be comes necessary to raake a rate for him in turn, nod thus additional taxes ere levied for the maintenance of these, who if not called on to pay what they court not aFord, would not find it necessary to have recourse to the support of a Poor-law. Sir, by the projected clauses you render the landlord liable to pay equally only in one case, when the te aent pays half. The second section runs thus :—" And when such occupier shall pay area less than the net annual value, he shall deduct from sech rent a sum which shall bear to one-half of the rate paid by him the same proportion as the rent paid by him shall bear to the net annual value." It is clear it is an Act for the absentee landlords to take away their rents, unmindfill of the unfortunate wretches pining in indigence behind them, and leaving the worn-out pauper to battle And live .on his brother pauper. I recollect a Catholic clergyman of Castletown Roche writing to me re lative to these very clauses, which he said were' discussed and passed in the Committee of the House of Commons, stating . his surprise and indignation, and observing that no Irish Member was worthy of his place, that did not ener getically oppose them. Lreplied to him by letter, as'l did to all who made the sarna charge, that those clauses were not/paned ; and that I would have opposed them in every etage, and have divided the House on them though I stood alone.—(Tremendous cheering.) What I now want is your authority, your power delegated in me to oppose them —niy power is nothing by itself, it is only useful or power ful by the popular will.—(Cheers,) I proclaim here from this spot, in reference to these clauses, if they are passed they will create tierarlan disturbances, riot, and popular tumelt. Instead of giving peace and quietness to Ireland, it will be flinging a firebrand through the land, and awakening strife, and misery, and famine among her chil dren.—(Cheers,) I say this emphatically and beforehand: Myself I am nothing but a. straw throw n on th e curren t to show which way the stream runs, but powerless as it would be floating on the mountain torrent, carried along with resistless rapidity but having no controul itself— (Cheers), -so am- I, my course is guided, my strength sup ported, and directed by the people. Let them make their wishes known on this subject, but let there be no disturb ances—there exists no neeetility for it. Let them address their language and petitions to the Government, and their hopes will not be disappointed. But how unfortunate is this country where sectarian and political differences act to keep persons from acting on open questions unitedly for her gcod! There was Colonel Conelly, who was un favourable to the so clauses, and unwilling to let them be passed ; but as soon as he learns that I . like wise opposed them, from that moment he became a supporter of them, and became as warm an advocate of them as he had been before adverse. But, unfortunately for the success of the Gallant Colonel's opposition, his con sti'uency were sensible and determined, and when he was asked why he supported such a measure, lie replied that he thought it must have been a goodmeasure, because Mr. O'Connell opposed it.—(Laughter anti cheers.) It may be said that the contracts will equalize the burden. In Eng land the farmer can deal with his landlord, and contract on better terms ; but in Ireland this cannot be done, for he has nothing to deal in but land, and the unnatural price and demand for land render it hopeless for the occupiers to ex pect to better their condition. The Poor-laws will have no effect. Out of 586,000 paupers, there are 561,000 occu piers of land. If Poor-laws were introduced, they would not take away one of those 561,000. Relative to these three sections, which arc taxes to a mulcting extent, it comes to this—if this taxation could be endured, it should ; but it could not. I call upon the people of Ireland, upon this assembly, to make their voices heard lowg and loud in the land in repudiation of these clauses—and I shall now conclude by moving the following resolution : Resolved, That without for the present canvassing the principle of Poor-laws, we are decidedly of opinion that the mode of assessment, by charging one half of the rate upon the occupier wh o h as no profit, and may assume more rest for land than it i s wor th, i s mos t oppressive and unjust ; that it is a tax not upon property, but upon poverty, and instead of tending to relieve pauperism in Ireland, must necessarily increase the number of paupers." Mr. M‘Gote;Ess rose ; AO in brief terms seconded the foregoing. The resolution was then put from the Chair, and una nimoUsly carried. Mr, O'CoNN ELL then rose and again addressed the meet ing, Fatigued as this assembly is—(No, no, no !)—I still must trespass on your attention while I bespeak your pa tience, and say a few words to you em another subj ec t, which is to me the _cans() nnfe:gned regret and indig nation-4 alltlde to t 1 eNistence of illegal combinations. I take this first fittin opportunity of addressing the assembled trades, and bringing under their notice, feeling disgust and sorrow at being compelled to have to denounce a species of attack which has been made on the property of a polit,:,eal op ponent of mine. I refer to Mr. (~, , ;;;Oda. No one thinks I applaud the vot? Wive against me at the last election., ! I t, w c ria, tokt, one characterisd by sound judgmeot. It was marked at once . by inconsideretion and ineoneist cnq ; he never gave one befel:, ag4ust the people ; ho all ' his life belonged to the popular party, aed his acts were with them when he was in the vigour_ of t is manhood, eed the strength of his understanding. Some clerical relati% es . got about him, and induced needless and idle apprehensions, and obliged him to vote as he did. He had a most perfect rod undoubted right to vote as be pleased, but to suppose ha', to follow up his vote by destroying his property, is at o ;cc repue-nant to my feelings and disposition, and alike foolish and wicked of its perpetrators ; if they do it as friend* of mitre, they are mistaken—if they do it as Catholics, thry are engaged in the commission of crime which they never can be forgiven here. Any ono acquainted with cur religion, must know that no forgiveness will ho granted to the wilful destroyers of another's property, unless ha make iestoration ; and do they think that can be grateful to Ma or my friends, which from my heart I despise and loath, but it is not Mr. Guinness alone that they will have to make 4 recompense to for the property destroyed. He has applift for a presentment, and this very present term was owed by his counsel moving, in the Court of Queen's 13ene‘e. that net I should he compenseted for the property 'which was „ilf u l v injured. And he will, 9f en':..rse, get compensation, trot wily to the ftill exi'':a.' of't he value ef his 1057., but also t o t h e ottent ~r l " ..'is s upposed profits. It is not Mr. Guinness who alit suffer—it is the eon' of Dublin who must pay this, when the Grand Jury taxation is falling on them.—(Hear.) flow, then, can the perpetrators of these injuries make a return to the poor for this additional hurden thrown upon them ?—( Hear, hear, and " Oh, oh.") What was the re sult of the Clare election ? Why, when the petiole of to.- land heard th a t upwards of 100,000 men met in that Q town, upon the hottest day in summer, and without tasting a drop of spirits or. porter from sunrise until the dew fell„ without striking a blow or taunting - any person viho op posed them, earl ied on the groat moral work in which they were engaged peacefully and constitutionally—when this was told in Engla n d, the moral- effect of it W2S, that great power of public opinion which carried Catholic Emancipa tion. The immoral effect of the present system would be, that every thing which the friends of. the people want to dq for -them will be opposed, because their enemies will aay the people are unworthy of any freedom. The people who have taken part in these outrages are acting on the side of the Orange faction.—( Hear, hear.) What will be said to me when 1 go over to the other side of the water ? I shall be taunted with those outrages. Don't tell me, they will say, th tt you took the earliest opportunity of de nouncing this system of the Trade; Union.—(Hear.) They will say those were friends ns - your's who went to do this behind your back.—(l-ear, hear.) Yes, it is on me that all their siolene.a rind illegal conduct will fall, and not on Mr. Guinness.—( Hear, hear.) Yes, these men arc indeed a d.lsgrace to our countrymen, and furnish an additional im pediment to justice for Ireland.—( Hear.) I trust I shall hear no more of this.—(Hear.) If I do, it will gite a pang to my heart, and unnerve my arm in every struggle which I am making for the people of Ireland.—(Hear.) Having passed this subject, I now come to one of more permanent and greater interest. I allude to the violent and illegal combinations which are taking place in Ireland, —( Hear.) On five or six ocersaions before have I be en succes-.:ul in putting a stop to the prcgress of similar cow- Linations. It was about six or seven years ago since I stopped the progress of Ribbonisna in Meath, where it was advancing from the two neighbouring districts of South and Westmeath.—( Hear, bear.) Until the last year no attcmpt was made to organize any similar society. But the com bination I now allude to is not of a rolitieal character. Al though it , orofesses to be of a Catholic description, we see its abettors attacking the Roman Catholic. clergy as well as others. There was some time ago, only last Summer I believe, a party-of these went to Loughlintown and attacked the chapel, and assaulted a member of the Trades' Union who went out there to poet notices against their system. One of these fellows who was apprehended was brought before Mr. Wacker, at the Sessions of Dublin, and that. humane :delirium or.' y sentenced hirer to three calendar month;; impeisenment.—(Hear, hear.) A party of fellows drove out there from Dublin on seven or eight jaunting cars . aird perpetrated this outrage. But does any one ima gine swab a system could continue in Dublin if we had a Rood police ?—(Hear, hear.)' No, the moment we •hava such, this system must ixt once, he put - down.—(Hear.) 1. have before me the ilatiest details of the proceedings at their meetings—(Hear)—even of so late as yesterday.—(Hear.) There, is not a single man that could be called respectable belonging to them.—(Hear.) They are mostly composed of the lowest class of labourers in the city, and some few of the better class of labourers in the county are mixed with them, wire have been seduced into joining them. —(Hear, bear.) Some of their principal leaders have already suffered the penalty of the law for thieving, and a very influential man amongst them has already been tried and cm, t icted before his country.—( Hear.) Will they still continue to associate with him after this fact is generally known ? Well, I bee traced this new system of combination, and have found that it originates with the lowest class of Orangemen. The city of Dublin is com posed of two classes. There is a division between the Me tropolitans and the Northerns—they ham e their terms Nor thern on:I Dublin men ; they have their foolish phrases, " Billy Smiths'' and " Welters ;' so that the fact appears evident that they are divided amongst themselves.—(Hear.) There may he, indeed, honest and open combination amongst the Trades' Unions of England and Scotland, when they say that they resolve not to take less than a particular spccined sum as wages. This may be just and honest, una der proper modifications. I should be for an open system of -fair wages. One of the greatest abominations which' exist in Dublin—one which I look upon with horror ; it is the system of compelling equal payment of wages to every man belonging to a particular trade. Now, under such a system, I would desire to know what is to become of the superior, artist—the most skilful hand at his busi ness—of the man of the most industrious habits, or of the best conducted man ? All the superiority of men in these respects is, under such a system, to go for nothing. Yes, it is absolutely good for nothing. I say from this place, that every man who goes to, and is present, at any of these illegal societies, that man is liable to trans portatien. I say that any man who takes an oath at any of these secret societies does so at the peril of transporta tion. '1 also tell you, that any individual who may admi uhter such oath, does so at the same risk ; and more, that the slightest net of violence in consequence of such oath is punishable with death. Then let not the widows whose husbands, or mothers whose sons, have been brought to an ignominious end, blame me.—(Hear.) . Let not the wives, or the daughters, or the sisters of those who have been sent to New South %Vales blame me for it. No ; let them blame the miscreants that deceived them first, and then be trayed them to their destruction.—(Hear.) The Learned Gentleman proceeded to observe in strong terms on the incalculabie injuries inflicted by combination and the sys- , tem of wages, upon the trades of Dublin—as printing, book binding, ship-building, &c. He had documents to prove that new books printed in Dublin were sent to London to be bound, anti that they are there bound better and upon cheaper terms. I am ready to prove before a Committee that ship loads of Irish timber are sent to Drogheda and other places, at Gd. the foot carriage, to be worked there. The coach-building in this country too had suffered most se verely from the improper conduct of last year. But on looking over this emidence, I find another most atrocious instance of the effects of this horrible system of combina tion. Mr. Hutton speaks of the violence offered to an iron-founder, named Clarke, and he then proceeds to the case of another iron-founder, who was too poor to employ a clerk or book-keeper, and consequently he engaged his wife in keeping the workmen's accounts. Now, I ask any of you, do you think that was an offence- 7 for a wife thus to assist her husband in endeavouring to earn a subsistence for her children?—(Hear, hear.) Well, those cruel and misguided men considered it as such, and the result was that they obliged this man to employ a clerk, and twn off his wife from assisting. him to keep the . workmen's account—thus depriving her of the means of earning food for her children, or at least of enabling herself and her husband to forward their education and interests.— ( Hear, hear.) Is there a human being who hears me that I must not be disgusted at the atrocity of such acts as this ? Do you not feel detestat'on and hatred for those who could work such evil as that—vile wretches, wear ing the form of men, but possessing the hearts of mon sters.—(Hear, hear.) But there are more instances than these—there is one in which a carpenter had a bro ther who was what was called an unlawful apprentice, and the men turning out against him he was forced to abandon his trade, and forego the means of earning support for himself. See here then the effect this system has upon the interests of the youth of Ireland.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Where will they end if pursued? What is it that keeps men from being murdered in Dublin r Do you remember the two men who were murdered in the open day in our street ; and it is with difficulty that many are still escaping from the myrmidons of that worthy gentleman to whom I have alluded. I mean him who underwent a penalty for thieving, and whose name if I chose, I could mention. Do you think he and those asso cinted with him are not ready for murder when necessity induces them to think it requisite ? Do you not recollect when Chambers, the carpenter, and Daly, the sawyer, Were . murdered ? And what was the offence of Daly Y. Why, he was an advocate for a gradation of wages ; he was fo a the good workman being paid as he ought, and for the bad or indifferent ones to get no more than their capacity and industry entitled them to, and if you had that system in operation you would have the superior workmen trebly paid over those who have not the ability nor - the diligence that contrib.:lo to the Constitution of a superior ardent. Well, workmen of the city had art ob jection\TelL the to great tlrat plan ov nvf the which was advocated by Daly, and he was assailed in the streets at noon-day, and b ar b arous l y murdered. Oh, do you think the hand of the Almighty God is not strong enough to reach the base men 'who were engaged in this scheme of murder—for I call every man belonging to such associations as I have named engaged je
