''" . some of our Irish friends—some of the Meshieets represent ing the counties and cities of Ireland', 'should have been ra t fied to aesere them, that will Ireland we should enter .nto a solemn league and confederacy, and tell the ira'nghtyLor i tl s s t , who would fain ceentinue th e i r oprersinn, that they must either make Ireland free or nials.e lenglishmen slaves. Tyss Gentlemeo, we will tell these haughty Lords of tles Philis tines, and we will telt the great alien ex.-Chrtteellor Min self, " t oo l ong h ave you trampled en and oppressed this impoverished and unfortunate Country—too long have_ seen kept thi s g i ant of the West in thraldom—tee longhave you kept this Sampson in durance and in chains—you have shorn him of his beauty, you have shorn him of his strength, and now, when you. call him before you, and would fain have him make you sport, what wonder if he should shake the temple itself to its foundations, and threaten t o i nvo l ve you in one common ruin;'--(Loud cheers.) Such, Gentlemen, is the language which these alien proclaiming Lords would deserve to meet with where ever they meet an Irishman, or wherever they meet English man a f r i end to Ireland.—(Loud cheers.) Suc _ an h, I aver, have been, and ever shall be ; never will Ibe satisfied until a measure of justice equal to what we have ourselves received, has been conceded to Ireland,--(Loud cheers.) With every claim so co-equality with ourselves, they should (Cheers.) be put on terms of perfect equality W ith us. God help us . an d we w ill fi ght, and we will carry the Cau se of Ireland through the House of Commons, and through the House of Lords.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, with roe gard to the general policy which, in my opinion, ought to prevail over the whole of this United Kingdom, I shall most candidly and firmly state to you in one short phrase what 1 I conceive to be consistent with the growing interests, the justly growing interest, of the mighty democracy of this country. Gentlemen, it has been long, it is now, my firm impression, that the .steady policy which must be pursued more or less, sooner or later, gradually or more speedily, is to unfeudalize the too feudal institutions of this etenntry ---(Bear and Cheers)—and to c give scope to the grea tly in oreased intelligence, and wealth, and power, and freedom f the democratic b o d y. Seeing and nowing how the middle classes, and how the producti classes - ofis com munity h ave advanced in intelligence ve and in virtue also, I demand for them an extension of their rights ; and I say they are a growi ng part of the community, for whom room in the body politic ought.to be made.—(Cheers.) Gentle . men, there is no surer index of the popular progression than the vastly improved character of the conductors of the public press. Gentlemen, at ten years ago we may date the time when the long darkness and gloom which had previously reigned throughout this country began to give way to a better principle. It was at the breaking up of that Administration which ended in the formation of the Canning Ministry, and on his death, that the dawn of free dom is to be dated ; and whatever the opinions of indivi dual Statesmen may be, we may certainly say of that St atesman, Mr. C ann i ug, t h at he was " The last star of night If better, h e belonged not to the dawn." (Cheers.) From that time a new series of events has taken place, and that was the commencement, the first gradual breaking in upon the broken twilight which marked the early rays of restored freedom. Then came the great ques tion of Catholic Emancipation, sweeping away in its pro gress all minor obstacles to the admission of our fellow men to equal freedom. Next comes the mighty question, the great shad e o f P arliamentary Reform, when that Bill was extinguished i n t h e House of Lords, but the cry of mil lions 'demanded its enactment, the obstacles which impeded its passing were overcome —that measure passed too, and (Canother step was made in the advancement of the people.-- heers.) Next came Municipal Reform—(Loud and reiterated cheers)—Municipal Reform, which makes. men good citizens by teaching them how to govern themselves-- which is the best guarantee I know of for good public con duct, since it places before the eyes of the inhabitants the actions of their fellow -townsmen —(Hear.) Next came the long train of useful reforms, the satellites of the Reform Bill, which gravitated towards the same centre, and borrowed their light from that great luminary. - Are the people of Engla n d unwort h y of the benefits of these reforms, had they all passed ? Are we all to be styled Dantons and Robes pierres, as Sir Robert Peel calledlus, when we chose to ask for Reform in the House of Lords ?-- en (Ld ceers.) No ; th e peop l e o f E ngland are the last m i ou n the h world to give coun t enance t o di sorder, or endanger the tranquil lity of the country. lam convinced, Gentlemen, that we must give greater room and _greater scope to the great de mocracy of the country.--(Cheers.) It has been advanced by Sir Robert:Peel ; in his learned argument against Peer age Reform, that if you reform the Lords, you give the Whole ascendancy to the Commons. Peel cou l d devise one plan more certain th an another to to kee Now , if Sir Robert giv e up the total ascendancy t o t h e Commons, it would be p unreformed the present House of Lords.—(L o , and continued cheering for some time.) But the time for action is approaching.—(Hear.) The session is already be ginning to impend. The Tories are beginning to put on their rusty armour. The question then forces itself upon ON " How are we to meet them ?" forme rs , Shall we, th e Re and "God dis un i te d ? cries o f " N o, no, " and fo r bid !") No : G (Lorryod f or bid ! They shall find us standing firmly together, with as unflinching a front as in the last session {Hear)—impervious to their open hostility, and not be undermined by their insidious attacks.—(En thusiastic cheering.) You will ask me —and you have a right to ask me—what course I intend to ptirsue ?—( Hear.) The same course that I have hitherto adopted I shall continue to follow.—(Much applause, the company rising.) I will not be guilty of any. insincere friendship towards the Ministry, nor of any factious oppositi on . —( Hear.) They shall fi n d me, as long as they conduct them se l ves well in ungenerou s d the ey es o f the people of England, no hollow friend, no opponent.—(Loud applause.) And now, gen tlemen, I come to a point which has been much debated b the Mi n i sters and by the people—how far certain measures should b e made, in consonance with the wishes of th e com munity, what is called open questions—that is, not measures for Cabinet resistance.—(Hear.) It appear s to me, that as soon as a question is so strongly taken up by the people, the expression of their opinion is almost indubitable upon it, and it becomes the duty of Ministers either to carr that question as a Cabinet question, or to leave the question open.—(Cheers.) Such appears to me to be the state of the public mind on the question of the ballot.—( Here the company again rose, and remained some time cheeri g ) Such I believe to•be the state of the public mind uponnthe question of triennial Parliaments and certain other ques tions ; and it certainly strikes me, if I am correct in th e view I take, and that the public mind is strongly in their favour, it would be well and wise to leave such quest i ons open —not to make them points for Mi.. ppos it itiinoi❑non I s nisteri a l oppos i tion. I trust, if in this su happ en to be correct, that Ministers will consider their duty t o concede something on these points t o t h e op of the People. Gentlemen, I feel I ant detaining y ou s e . l or-g--(No, no.) H onoure d as we arc b y the presence of Iten distinguished like my Hon. Friend Mr. Gisborne--- (the company again rose and cheered)--andbythe presence of many others whom I see standing around me, it would be unpardonable in me unduly to trespass on your time. I will conclude with what I have already stated in a re- ex vious Pa r t o f my observations, that my policy will be to p tend w h at I consider to be the just rights and enjoyments of time great democracy of this country. My object will le, if I may use the word, gradually to unaristocratise our institutions. —(Cheers, and a cry of "As soon as you like.") I a m d eeply convinced that this is time wisest policy, not only for the people, but also for the Crown. The Crown inqet 11 , u longer lean against the unstable and somewhat decayed buttress of the aristocracy. Depend upon it, that if it is to mote, as I hope it will, in unison and harmony with the fe , el i"gs of the people, the monarchy of this country, o n keelin g head seeve r the , Crown may devolve, must no longe r 'otlle monarchy of the aristocracy, but Jim() monarchy of the the h e al- (Hoer', and applause.)

The last King William the Third —a kind uncontrolled pTVCI: was veto of his own ; but befor e the clos e s of Pl l .li ' lippe., la h v e m s g ea a s compelled to pass measures, even those the is t r s e t ig o n bnoxious to him. He asked them, if any person sho i ld in the pre- Sent day advise a British King to use his own veto, whether (Loudsuch a man would not be a fitting inmat e for Bedlam. cheers.) Their ancestors in forteer days had had an arduous struggle to reduce time Royal power within time limits coesistent with Jibe: Iy. In their confidence, the British public had neglected to watch over the till at l engt h , b Arist ocracy, Arist ocracy had y a series of petty en croac h ments, the obtained for themselves that power they bad wrested from the Crown.—(Hear.) Such was the state of thing s till the passin g of the Reform Bill, and that measure had been passed Without any precautions having been taken to males the democratic portion of it work well with the aristocretie part which still remained.—( Hear.) Sir R. Peel hid 'alwans taid that the Reform Bill would not work tne remaining elements of the British Constitution. It must not be imagined that Sir Robert Peel was the only clear-sighted man in the Hotl9^ of Commons. Many of supporters Ittio: *o l d that it wotilci not Work Well Witt 'Alaieditary and irresponsible House df (tihters.l It would not have been Worth tiny thing if it had worked well with an irrsspOtiO)le House of Lords.- - --(Loud cheers ) How liad the eVent turned otit? It had nbt itbtlibd at al lie vtouid then ciit illittgatibn of its working from ratio of thoit toasts, " Justice to Ireland." It had given him great pleasure to witness the enthusiastic man ner in which that toast had been received by them.— (Hear.) He wished to God that Mr. O'Connell had been Present, not merely for the gratification they would have experienced in listening to his eloquence, but that he (Mr. O'Connell) might have been disabused of his error, and seen that Englishmen were not indifferent to the wrongs of Ireland.—(Loud cheers.) The House of Lords had thwarted every measure of relief that had been brought forward for that country. When the House of Lords re jected these measures which had been brought forward to benefit that nation, it had created a considerable stir in the country, and men doubted whether hereditary legislators were as wise or sane as some had supposed. From the mani festations that were beginning to be displayed the Lords took alarm—they had been described as representing no body, but they themselves said that they represented the whole country—that they were the tribunes of the poor.— (Hear, hear.) He wondered whether they would stand being elected by the poor.—(Hear, hear.) If so, they might soon come to term s w ith th em . It suggeste d a pretty scheme to him—the scheme• he proposed was, that the House of Commons should be elected by the present con stituency, and the House of Lords by all below that.— Sir Robert Peel had also made a most notable discovery. The Peers had hitherto appeared to be the representatives of nobody, and Sir Robert Peel had said that they were altogether irresponsible. He had read the report, and could scarcely bring himself to believe that it was possible for Sir Robert Peel to have made so stupid an oration. But he was speaking of the remark as t o th e respons ibili ty o f t h e L or d s. It had been said that they were irresponsible. Were they so ?—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") They were not ! They were at least responsible to God and their own con sciences, as had been averred.—(Hear.) They were re sponsible to God and their own consciences! So was Fieschi! —( Unanimous cries of " Hear, hear," and tumultuous ap plause.) But that was but a poor security for Louis Phi lippe—(Hear)—it was a poor security for the Due de Ro vigo anti, the other unfortunate victims who fell before him. —(Hear, hear, and applause.) But he was res p ons ibl e to the la w , as well as to God and his conscience —(Hear) — and the law took him and executed him, to save the lives of those who might have been his future victims. Sir Robert Peel had acknowledged the influence of something which he did not usually name in the House of Commons. Public opinion ? No ; for that sort of expression would be but bald—but it was enlightened public opinion. This was what the Lords had but tardily understood. It was only under particular circumstances that the Lords would allow such an expression as enlightened public opi nion. They had heard of a word and a blow, and they could not allow that enlightened public opinion could be ex pressed in words, and would not believe that the word could be coupled with a blow till they had repeatedly heard the words, and had learned that the blow would follow. And the blow did follow. There was one blow struck, and that blow fell upon the Duke of Newcastle. His property—his castle was burned down, and then it was learned that the opinions expressed were very enlightened opinions. He was now about to ask if the Duke of New castle could have any objection to have these demonstra tions of public opinion repeated. He had seen it in print, he did not mean to say it, as from himself, but be had seen it in print—that a Tory jury—he did not say it was a Tory Jury, far be it from him to say it was Tory jury—(Laughter) —bad given the Duke of Newcastle the sum of twenty thousand pounds compensation—ho did not say this was the case—for a set of rubbishing old lodging-houses which were burned down. For the castle of Nottingham was not a castle of towers, and of turrets, and of battlements, and drawbridges, fit for a baronial residence ; but looked as if it had been converted into lodging-houses, and those not of the most respectable sort. And as be said before, he had seen it in print, that a Tory jury had given to the Duke of Newcastle--a jury taken out of the hundred in which it happened, twenty thousand pounds compensation for the loss of buildings which were not worth above one-third or one-fourth part of the sum.—(Hear and cheers.) He had read this in print, and be believed it, and he thought that the Duke of Newcastle would not be annoyed at another mob demonstration of enlightened public opinion. It was the only mode of convincing the Lords that their opinions were enlightened, and of showing them that the physical strength of the country was arrayed in defence of its own proper rights and' interests. The Crown was the Crown of Reform.—(Crics of " Hear.") When he alluded to the Crown as merely a useful pageant, he did not mean to use the words disrespectfully towards the Crown, for he knew, and they knew, that their principles were conducive to its stability, and that they wished, and were determined to uphold it. Did any man doubt that their King stood in a more enviable position than any po tentate in Europe. He would use a familiar illustration. - H e would suppose the Reformers of Liverpool, or indeed the Reformers of any other place, if they understood the matter as well, were offered an annuity of any sum—how ever; he would say 1,000/. per annum for perspicuity's sake —which was to last as long as any monarch then in Europe lasted—he would ask, would they choose the Emperor of Russia, the Queen of Portugal, the Grand Turk, the Em peror of Austria, the Thrones of Spain or Portugal? No. Would they not choose the Throne of England? Yesrand they would choose it with the more perfect confidence if the Peerage Reform, the Rights of Ireland, and the Bal lot, were accorded, and with the same confidence as they now demanded those, as the best and surest safeguards of the monarchy. He would propose a toast, which he knew all present would be ready and willing to respond to. Amid tumultuous cheering, the Learned Speaker proposed the following toast : " Prosperity to the Liverpool Tradesmen's Reform As sociation." Mr. LANGTON, the Chairman of the Exchange Ward, spoke to the toast. CHARLES HINDLEY, Esq., M.P. for Ashton-under- Lyne, said, I am paying no slight compliment to him while I say that in going into the House of Commons to prayers, or in retiring early or late, on all occasions I find Mr. Ew•art there.—(Cheers.) This is no trifling recommenda tion to a Member, for if you are aware of the mode in which business is conducted in the House of Commons, you will be likewise aware that a constant attendance is neces sary. In these times constituents ought to be decided' in their opinions. Let them be constituents if they wish, but if they wish well to the Liberal cause, let them give it their most strenuous support. Other toasts were then given, after which the company broke up. A New Edition of Sir William Wraxall's " Histo rical Memoirs of his Own Times" is on the eve of publica tion. These " Memoirs" arc rich in anecdotes of distin guished personages and remarkable events, from the year 1772 to 1784, at which latter period Sir William's lately published " Posthumous Memoirs" commence ; so that the two works present a complete history of the Court and of domestic life, during more than half a century, not only as respects England, but the chief nations of the Continent. Sir William's diplomatic connections at home, and his resi dence •at several foreign Courts, placed within his reach fa cilities scarcely ever enjoyed by any one individual o and his unwearied assiduity in chronicling whatever fell under his Observation, renders him the best and most copious.writer of modern memoirs. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A YOUNG FEMALE. Thursday afternoon an investi g ation, which l as t e d up wards of five hours, t oo k p l ace i n the board-room of Christ church work-house, Blackfriars-road, before Mr. Carter, on view of the body of Eliza Ann Gardner, aged 24, who was found in the river Thames on Tuesday last. Catherine Alead lived at No. 10, \Veil -street, Oxford-street ; knew th e deceased, who was a few days back in the service of Mrs. Cherton, hosier of Oxford-greet, who on Thursday last discharged her because she refused to clear the snow which fell during the late storm, from the roof of the house ; since then she had procured another situation, but Mrs. Cherton refused to give her a character, and the parties she had engaged with consequently refused to take her. That circumstance appeared very much to prey on the deceased's mind, and she frequently exclaimed that " Mrs. Cherton might as well take her life as her character." Since then, sh e had been in a very desponding state. Isaac Gardner, brother of the deceased, saw his sister on Thursday night last, when she appeared very dejected ; from •the conversa tion which then took place, he had no doubt but that his unfortunate sister destroyed herself in consequence of the disappointment occasioned by Mrs. Chcrton refusing to give her a character. The Jury returned a verdict of " Tem porar3 Insanity."

The novel of The Gambler's Dream, announced for immediate publication, is creating considerable excitement amongst the members of the Clubs and Subscription Houses in St. James's, who have been cunningly canvassing the motive of its "pUblication. It is held by some to be a work of imagination only; but " a solemn council" of them, having the fear of recent facts before them, will have it to be a covert attack upon gambling Peers in general, and on one in particular : they conjecture that the author of The Gambler's Dream has only intended to hoodwink them, by giving to the world his expose under the name of a dream. On the 14th of January, 1836, when in latitude 61 N., and longitude 6 W., we were surprised to see two very large icebergs. A sight so novel, within two hundred miles of our own shores, excited much interest amongst us, whilst at the same time we could not but feel that it was likely to be the occasion of the loss of many ships that might run against them during the night, or in thick weather, as such a circumstance as ice so near to England had never before been known. One of these masses could not have been less than seventy feet high, and more than a mile in diameter ; the other was higher, but much less extensive.—Captain Ross's Voyage in search of the missing, Whalers, quoted in the United Service Journal. HEROINES OF TILE SEASON.—One of the most remarkable features of the new literary season is the ap pearance of five successive heroines of romance, separate in their excellence, but concordant in their public triumphs. " The Desenuyee," " Mrs. Armytage,"" Violet,"" Henrietta Temple," and " The Duchess of La Valliere." The character of the Desenuye, for its transeendant refinement and subtle brilliancy, will long continue to challenge the admiration of all discerning readers. Mrs. Artnytage, with all her talents cud achievements, conveys a forcible impression of the evils which attend the perversion of female influence. The lovely and devoted Violet, and the noble Henrietta Temple, will hold durable empire over the memories of their reading vo taries ; and hundreds are at this moment, we will venture to say, sympathising with the sorrows of the beautiful and in teresting La Valliere, as presented to them in Madame De Genlis' eloquent story. COURT CIRCULAR. Sir Charles Grey (one of his Majesty's Commissioners for the affairs of Canada) had an interview yesterday with Lord Glenelg, at the Colonial Office. On Tuesday, Sir John Hobhouse, President of the India Board, gave an interview to a Deputation from the Com mittee delegated by the Steam Committees of Calcutta and Madras (consisting of Lord William Bentinck, Wm. Craw ford, Esq., M.P. for the City of London, Edward Fletcher, Esq., James M'Killop, Esq., and Captain Melville Grindlay), on the subject of establishing a permanent communication by steam, between Great Britain and India. A. Committee meeting of the Record Commission was held yesterday, at the Office of the Chancellor of the Ex quer, in Downing-street.

The Earl of Minto entertained at dinner on Wed nesday evening, at the Admiralty, the Marquis of Lams. downc, Lord and Lady Howick, Hon. Fox Mamie, Mr, Spring Rice, Mr. and Mrs. Lister, Mr. Romilly, and Mr. Anson. The venerable Lord Rolle is now at his seat at Bicton, near Exeter, surrounded by a large circle of friends, where he has been sustaining old English hospitality on a large and liberal scale. The Noble Lord having no issue, the Peerage will become, at his decease, extinct. The Earl and Countess of Lincoln, and Lords Ed- .ard and William Clinton, have arrived at Clumber-park. The Earl of Carlisle has arrived in Grosvenor-place, from Compton-place, near Eastbourne. His Lordship has been sadly teased by his inveterate enemy, the gout, during his stay at Compton-place. Lord Seagrove has arrived at Spring Gardens, from Berkeley Castle. Count Biornstjerna has arrived at Waterloo -crescent, Dover. His Excellency will stay there for some time. The Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Com mons and his Lady are expected daily in Carlton-terrace. The Marquis of Huntley is on his way to town, from Castle Aboyne, N.B. . _ The. Landgravine of Hesse Homberg arrived at Hanover, on the Bth of January, to visit 'the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The Royal House of Bavaria, and the town of Bamberg in particular, have just experienced a severe loss by the death of his Royal Highness the Duke William of Bavaria. The health of the King of Denmark is much im proved. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Prussia is recovering from his indisposition. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland has returned from Hanover to Berlin. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield returned on Wednesday to Bretby Park, from a visit to Lord and Lady Lichfield. The Earl of March has left Goodwood, for Oxford. The young Lord Audley, on attaining his majority next year, will come into possession of the large estates of his grandfather, George, sixteenth Baron Audley, at Sandridge, Wilts, the late Peer having sold his life interest in the family domain during the lifetime of his father. The dignity of Count of the Holy Roman Empire has also descended to the present Peer. The General Commanding-in-Chief has appointed Lieut. A. E. Hill, of the 68th Light Infantry, to be his Aide-dc-Camp, vice Major Mackworth. Capt. Fletcher, of the Ist Life Guards, will continue attached to his Lord ship's staff, as extra Aide-de-Camp. The late Field-Marshal Sir Samuel Hulse was the second son of Sir Edward Hulse, Baronet, of Bramore House, in the county of Hants, -and uncle of Sir Charles Hulse, the present Baronet, whose grandfather was an emi nent physician. S. G. Price, Esq., M.P. for Sandwich, has been labouring under an inflammation of the chest. The illness of the Bishop of Lichfield and Co vcntry is not of the - dangerous or alarming nature described in some of the journals. The Rev. Prelate is unwell, to the regret of his friends, but his illness gives them no un easiness. The Glee and Madrigal Society of Salisbury have very judiciously- and gallantly agreed to admit ladies to their performances. The Lichfield county ball, on Friday, .was a select and brilliant assemblage, and was under the patronage of the Countess of Lichfield. DEATH OF THE EARL OF ROSSLYN.—It is with'regret that we announce the death of this Nobleman, which we understand took place at his scat, Dysart House, Fifeshire, early yesterday morning. his Lordship had ex pressed his intention to be present at the dinner given to Sir R. Peel, at Glasgow, and was appointed to acknow ledge the toast of " The Army." He was prevented by indisposition, which we believe no one then imagined was to lead to the fatal result now stated.—Caledonian Mercury. A Court of Common Council was held yesterday, when the several Committees of the Corporation, and the Commissioners of Sewers, Lamps, and Pavements, were ap pointed for the year ensuing- The Court also, agreeably to the standing orders, elected the various officers of the Corporation. No other business was transacted. On Tuesday evening a shocking accident occurred to Miss Sophia Beesely, a young lady, 17 years of age, who was burnt in a shocking manner, at the residence of her aunt, Mrs. Fehham, Wyndham•strcet, Bryanston-square. While dressing for an evening parts•, it appeared that the unfortunate young lady had placed a lighted candle on the ground, for the purpose of picking up some trifling article, when the lower part of her dress instantly caught fit c. Her affrighted sister, instead of rendering assistance, ran out of the room screaming, and before any one could arrive her dress was burn nearly from off her person. Messrs. Delston and Tyler, surgeons, were promptly in attendance, but, from the extent of the injuries, faint hopes are given of her recovery. The first execution at Vienna since:the ascension of the Emperor to the Throne, was to have taken place on the sth inst. An immense crowd was assembled, but the humane nature of themperor induced him to grant a re prieve. The news ,of the attempt at assassination of the King of the French, on reaching Vienna, excited universal horror.

DUBLIN, JAN. 19. GENERAL ASSOCIATION. The Dublin Evening Past, of this afternoon, contains a brief report of the proceedings of the Association, which met this day, at one o'clock. On Monday a more lengthened notice of the important proceedings will be published in The Sun. Mr. cOSTELLO was called to the Chair. Mr. FRENCH, the Secretary, then read a letter which he had receivea from St. Sebastian, enclosing .5/. from a dis tinguished officer in the British Legion, Lieutenant-Colonel Fitzgerald.—(Cheers.) Mr. BRADY, in handing in the subscription of the Right Rev. Dr. Browne, gave a cheering description of the state of the registry in the county of Cavan, • Various sums were handed in. At half-past two o'clock the Hon. Member for Dundalk, accompanied by his friends, took his place at the foot of the table. He was received with cheers. Shortly after Mr. O'Connell entered the room amidst cheers. Mr. O'CONNELL would suggest that they would now understand their proceedings. He hoped that there would be a total abstinence of all personality. He would propose a suspension of the standing order, to give the Member for Dundalk an opportunity of explaining his views as to the construction which he thinks the Association has put upon the resolutions passed. If the Association decide that he (Mr. O'Connell) is wrong, he would cheer fully submit, as he did not ever mean to question the right of any man to the exercise of his opinion ; and as no man possesses purer public principle, however mistaken, than the Hon. Member for Dunkalk.—(Cheers.) The'Honourable Gentleman then read a series of resolutions upon the sub ject of the tithe question, conformable with the views which are already before the public, and such, he said, he would submit to the Association for their decision. He said his object always was to procure what amount of good he could, and wait for a future opportunity to procure the remainder. His principle was never to refuse an instalment of justice whenever it could be procured. PENSIONING O . F THE CATHOLIC CLERGY. This question May now be looked upon as being set at rest. The following resolution was agreed to at a meeting of the Roman Catholic clergy, held in the Parochial-house, Marlborough-street, on Friday last : Resolved--,That, alarmed at the report that an attempt is likely to be made, during the approaching Session of Parliament, to make a State Provisi on f or th e Roman Ca tholic clergy of Ireland, we deem it our imperative duty not to separate without recording the expression of ou r strongest . reprobation of any suc attempt; and of our unalterable determination to resist, by every means in our power, a measure which threatens so much mischief to the independence of the Irish Catholic Church, and to the purity of our holy religion in this country. t D. MURRAY, Chairman. f. P. KENNEDY, Secretary. A Reform Registry Club has been established in Cavan. This is well. CARLOW CONSERVATIVE MEETING,—It will be recol lected that the Mail described this symposium of Orange simpletons as a superlatively splendid aggregation of wealthy wisdom and so forth. The Dublin Evening Post, however, is too honest to blink the truth ; and the manly declaration is entitled to our respect and fullest confi dence. Our Contemporary declares that there never was a more total failure than the recent display at the dinner got up by the Conservatives to rouse the flagging spirits of the present sitting Members. Mr. Kavanagh and Co lonel Bruen—the latter of whom has obtained so unenvia ble a notoriety for acts of intimidation and persecuting harshness towards his tenantry. MASTERSHIP OF THE ROLLS.—The filling up of this office continues to call forth a good deal of speculation. It is not yet decided whether O'Loghlen or Richards will be selected as the successor to the late Sir Wm. M'Mahon. If Baron O'Loghlen be appointed,-as we are inclined to believe he will, Mr. Richards will in that case probably obtain his vacant Puisne Judgeship. As far as the in terests of the public are concerned, it is indifferent which of these equally respected individuals is elevated to the im portant office. They are both men of high legal attain ments, and of unsullied reputation, and both arc attached to the popular cause. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. VESSELS ENTERED INWARDS AT THE CUs- TOM-HOUSE, JAN. 20.

His Highness Prince Esterhazy is expected to com plete his final arrangements for quitting England about the third week in March. His Highness's tour to the mansions of the Duke of Rutland at Belvoir, and the Marquis of Exeter at Burghley, were, we believe, farewell visits to these noble persons. The contemplated marriage of the Prince's youngest daughter, the youmr and beautiful Prin toss Rosa Esterhazy, is expected to be solemnized at Vienna about Easter ; and the rumour is revived that a matrimo nial alliance is projected between the young Prince Nicho las Esterhazy and Mademoiselle de Pcnjon, grand-daughter of Prince Talleyrand, Who has now attained her seventeenth year. . . --- - Charles Dibdin, in one of his entertainments, used to relate a laughable story of Lomc Cornishmen whom he met as be was travelling to the Land's-end, bearing music books and instruments Where are you going ?" said Charles. "To church, to practice our music for Sunday," was the reply. " Whose music do you sing I'd" asked the poet. oh ! Handel, Handel I" answered the men; " Don't you find Handers music rather ?" said Dibdin. " Yeas, it war at first, but we alier'd un, and so we does very well with un now." This was conclusive ; the " Bard of the Ocean" threw them a crown a piece, and bade them drink the health of the author of " Poor Jack.' —Musical World, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JAAT. 20. CHAMBERS V. TAYLOR. The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the sitting of the Court, gave judgment in this matter, which was argued in .May last. The case came before the Court on a motio n for the production- of deeds and papers in a bill of disco very filed by the plaintiff to aid his defence to an action of ejectment. It was agreed by the parties that the ques tion of the production of the deeds was to bind the parti,ls with respect to their construction ; and that if the Court, under the form of the : motion, decided that the deeds could be of no use to the plaintiff, that would put an end to the quest!on pending in. this Court. His Lordship commenced by observing that this form of proceeding was productive of much inconvenience, and that it was very unusual to ask the Court to give an opinion on the effect of a deed by a motion calling on the other side to produce it. Two questions were raised, whether the remainder to the heirs female on the original settlement was good ; and, se condly, whet estate the (laughers took under it. His Lordship, after an examination of the:instrument in question, now said he was of opinion that the remainder to the heirs female was void in the former as well as in the present state of the law, and for authority on this point, his Lordship referred to the notes of Mr. Hargraves's edition of Coke upon Lit tleton. On the second point his Lordship was also of opi nion that according to the true legal construction, the daugh ters took an estate for life only, and he was satisfied at the same time that this true legal construction of the instru ment was:confoamrble to the intentions of Mr. Chambers, the original Settler. The deeds, therefore, must be given up to the plaintiff. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JAN. 20. SALVIDGE V. TUTTON. Tlie argument in this case occupied the whole day. The suit was instituted to administer the trusts of the will of a testator who had directed his estate to be sold, and certain legacies to be paid. The residuary legatee charged the trustees and executors with a breach of trust in not effect ing a sale of the property sooner, as well as with general mismanagement of the estate. His Honour{ was of opinion the trustees were justified, under the circumstances, in the course they had adopted. He therefore directed the usual decree to:be taken. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, .TAN. 20. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE was unable to resume his seat on the bench to-day. DOE AND REED V. HARRIS. This was an action of ejectment brought to try the vali dity of a will under which the defendant claimed to bold certain premises in the county of Glamorgan. The COURT—A will was a most solemn instrument ; to make one the law required the observance of several forma lities, and it could hardly be less careful about requiring proof of the intention•of the testator havini , changed, and of his desiring to destroy, what he haci made. The mere attempt to learn which the testator allowed to be so easily frustrated, and which he had not afterwards removed, was not sufficient to show his intention, and the rule for the new trial must, therefore, be made absolute.—Rule absolute accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, J. 20. MORGAN V. PERRER. This case came before the Court upon demurrer to seve ral pleas. It was an action of assumpsit. The COURT, after hearing Mr. Bagley in support of the demurrer, and Mr. Gale on the other side, were of opinion that this was a valid contract, and could not be considered as a wager against sound policy, or coming within any of the exceptions laid down in the authorities which had been cited. WORTHINGTON V. WIGLEY. This was an action upon a money bond, given to the plaintiff before her marriage. It appeared that the bond became absolute on the 31st of January, 1832, and it was admitted on the pleas that the bond was forfeited. There were two pleas which excused the payment of the bond by alleginc , that the plaintiff drew several bills of exchange in satisfaction of the amount due on the bond. Each of the pleas, however, went only to a portion of the whole amount. To these pleas there was a demurrer, which now came on for argument. The COURT were of 'opinion that they must give their judgment for the plaintiff. The bond had been forfeited, and the right of action could not be taken away by such a trans action as that pleaded. They had no doubt that the bills of exchange would be very willingly returned ; so that there would be no danger of the defendant being made liable both on the bond and the securities. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jig. 20. The Court, from the intensity of the cold and the illness of several members of the Bar, was almost entirely deserted to-day, and presented a most cheerless and miserable ap pearance. There was no business of public- importance. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JAN. 20. LORD WILLIAM PAGET'S CASE. The Hon. William Paget, commonly called Lord William Paget, sued as the Right Hon. Lord William Paget and as William Paget, Esq., the second son of the Marquis of Anglesey, applied on his petition from the King's Bench Prison, praying to be discharged. His application was opposed by Mr. Chadwicke Jones (who held two briefs), on the part of Mr. John Stockley, Mr. Chambers, Mr. Meredith, Mr. Dudley, and Messrs. Emanuel, creditors, residing at Portsmouth. He was sup ported by Mr. Cooke (with whom was Mr. Woodroffe.) The schedule filed by the honourable petitioner for public inspection exhibits creditors to the number of 102. The debts in the aggregate amount to .5,196/.125. 9d., of which sum he had received no consideration for 1,0721. 145., and the debts more than once entered were stated at 4201., leaving his actual debts 3,7031. 18s. 91d., which extended over - a series of years. The credits amounted to 3701., which sum he claimed from the Queen of Spain for pay as a Colonel in the British auxiliary legion, and the value of three horses shot in her :=ervice. II S half:pay as a Captain i s 180/., and his pay as a Colonel in the British Legion (nominally), • with allowances, 600/. ; but he had received 2.50/. a-year from the Spanish Government, independent of which he bad an aliowance from his father, the Marquis of Anglesey, of 3001. per Annum. The schedule did not show any property in reversion, &c. There were fourteen detainers against him, chiefly arising out of bill transactions, And he had been an in mate of the King's Bench Prison since the 14th of No vember, having been arrested a few days previously, and removed by haos corpus to that prison. The petitioner was brought into Court, accompanied by several friends. Mr. WOODROFFE prayed' an adjournment, in order to insert and serve creditors ; and the case was then adjourned sine die, to insert in the schedule, and serve creditors, to file a new general balance sheet, and to give the opposing creditors six days' notice of the next appearance. The hon. petitioner cannot again come up for some time. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-FRIDAY. THE KING, AT THE PROSECUTION OF THE METROEOLI TAN COMMISSIONERS IN LUNACY, V. WILLIS MOSELEY:— The defendalt, why, it will be recollected, was convicted of having kept a lunatic asylum at his house in Charlotte area, Bloomsbury, contrary to the Act cf Parliament, ap peared upon the floor of the Court. The CHAIRMAN, after commenting with great severity on the nature of the prisoner's offence, proceeded to pass the sentence of the Court—Twelve months imprisonment in the House of Correction, and a fine of 501. to the King. The defendant was then removed in custody. GAMBLING-HOUSE PROSECUTION.—WiIIiam Sella was indicted, with others, for keeping a common gaming-house at No. 5, Pickering-place, St. James's, between the 2d of September and the Iflth of October last, in the said parish. The Learned CHAIRMAN having recapitulated the whole of the evidence to the jury, they deliberated for about half an hour, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The Court did not rise until half-past six. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BQW-STREET. MT.!'
