DUBLIN ELECTION PETITION. - - T MEETING of the FRIENDS of RE FORM. FORM. convened by public requisition, to RESIST the threatenad TORY PETITION against the RETURN of Messrs. O'CONNELL and HUTTON, held at the Royal Exchange, on SATURDAY, the 16th September, 1837, JOHN O'NEILL, Esq., in the Chair, The following Resolutions were unanimously passed, viz.:— Moved by WiLtisst Mintrusr L Esq. ; seconded by PATRICK CU WM, Esq : Resolved—That J )seph Denis Mullen, Esq., Le requested to act as Secretary to this Meeting. Moved by LEi.A.wn CaosTifwArr,Esq. ; seconded by MicnArt. POWELL, Esq.:— Resolved—That We have learned with astonishment and indigna tion, that certain persons in London, without the means of know ledge—without the semblance of proof—and w ithout even the ceremony of inquiry, have had the hardihood to affirm, in re ference to the popular returns from Ireland at the last general election, these two things : first, that at the late elections, freedom of election has been completely subverted'—and, se condly, that this has happened chiefly by means of intimidation, personation, and poling the votes of disqualified and other un entitled persons,' and have further imputed that several of the returns of the Liberal representatives have been effected by these means. --- Moved by Joust POWER, Esq. ; seconded by .11.mEs O'BRIEN, Esq.:— Resolved—That we denounce these assertions as being made for the audacious purpose of deluding the British people, of stimulat ing them to unmerited and unchristian hostility towards their Irish fellow-subjects, and of tempting such as can be duped by these ar tifices, to contribute their money for no real object but to gratify the cupidity of some, and the headlong and costly ambition of others. Moved by PETER PURCELL, Esq. ; seconded by DANIEL RUT TON, : Resolved—That considering the exhortations of the Tory press, reiterated again and again before the elections, urging their parti sans to engage in the most desperate and expensive contests, for the mere purpose of harassing, by petitions, those whom they could not defeat upon the poll ; considering that, in conformity with these exhortations, elections were, in fact, contested without the possibility of 'success to the Tory can didates, and with their avowed intention of petitioning, ex pressed, in some instances, in the form of exacted pledges, before the elections began ; considering that they have been since exhorted by their press to persevere in petitioning, in order to diminish the number of members eligible to sit upon Election Committees ; considering that, in many of these instances, the majorities of the popular candidates were so overpowering as to render any hope of a successful prosecution of the petitions abso lutely futile—majorities being, in the County of Cork 754, in the City of Cork 528, in Westmeath of more than TWO TO ONE, in Kildare of more than THREE TO ONE ' and in Tipperary of more than FOUR TO ONE—in all of which places petitions have been threatened. We put it to the plain sense of the public, whether, if the appeal to the pockets of the British public be not prompted by the motives to which we have referred, it bas not sprung from a conspiracy to pack Committees of the House of Commons, and to bear down, by the mere weight of money, the free and popular representation of Ireland. Moved by PATRICE WEETMAN,_Egq. ; seconded by JAMES THE LONDON MERCURY will be this week incorporated with the LONDON DISPATCH, and eondueted by Dr. BEAUMONT, with able assistants in every department.

The present translation has been printed at Berlin, and sent to Eng land to promote the same object. London : Longman, Orme, and Co. H_A_UGIITON, 'Esq. Reolred—That English 'rory wealth, and the ill-gotten fruits of Irish Orange peculation, are now clubbed together to defeat the glorious results achieved here at the late general election. Alovc,l by PATltr,:ic Cuans, Esq.) seconded by E. R. PUREFOY Com.zs, Esq. : Resolvetl—That the T;'y party are, in the city of Dublin, pecu liarly vulnerable on the registry, and that, in our opinion, the de fence of a petition, vigorously sustained, must result in the removal from the registry of hundreds of persons who have been admitted upon it without title, without scrutiny, and without any further evidence than t- ,e production of a ticket signed by an officer of the present Corporation of Dublin. Moved by JOSEPH STOCK, Esq., LL.D.; seconded by WILLIAM _ _ Artiv, Esq.:— Resolved—That to oppose the unconstitutional efforts of the combined wealth of English Tories and Irish Oranpmen, we call upon every honest Irish Reformer to contribute, according to his means, to a subscription now set on foot to defend the return for the c.ty of Dublin of Daniel O'Connell and Robert Hutton, Esqrs. 11fored by Mic Han.

Moved by LAITRENCE FINN, Esq. ; seconded by T. ARIINF, Esq. : Resolved—That a Committee of Twenty. , ne be appointed to collect subscriptions, with pontr to ald to their number, and that they be requested to organize a sy_tem of Parochial Collection, Michael Walsh- Christopher Eire John Busby John D'Arcy John Redmond P. and J.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) The first importation of New Fruit appears now in our list of imports at the port of London. The arrivals of Northern produce are rather extensive for Tallow, Iron, Spelter, Tim ber, and Deals. East India produce has arrived to a consi derable extent, and there is some West India Sugar, Coffee, and Rum added to our previous stock, but not much. The entries for export are fair, and the deliveries for home con sumption are large. Our Markets continue steady for most commodities, and while speculation has paused in those articles upon which it has been operating, no fresh ones have been selected for ope ration. There is, however, but little disposition showing itself to realize, except in Cotton. Nothing reckless or giddy has yet shown itself in these speculative enterpriz es, and the Whole of our Markets progress quite as fast as intelligent and expe rienced persons could wish. SUGAR, BRITISH PLANTATION AND OTHERS.—The Market rather brisker to-day than yesterd,y ; prices without variation, and very firm. REFINED SUGAR dull and unvaried. TEA quiet, and sale prices rule transactions. FRUlT.—Currants receive a steady business, at former rrices. It is too early yet for business in other descriptions. PEPPER.—Transactions rather extensile, and prices firm. Cassia LIGNEA is held for higher prices. COFFEE.—British Plantation languid, but the value unal tered, except fur the lowest sorts, which are rather lower. In Metals the most business is doing in British Iron and Copper, and the prices are very firm. Spelter is now 131. 103. to 141. Oms.—A very quiet market, and prices without variation.: In Provisions there is still business, and the only variation in prices is in Dutch Butter, which is now 102 s. to 103 c, which is rather lower. TALLOW.—P. Y. C. is now 395. 9.1. to 4ns. Hoes.—There is more business doing in New flops, and at good prices. The duty is 190,000/. to 105,0001. • Rots continues in lively demand, and prices are' very firmly established. GRAlN.—Wheat secured but little business, and its former quotations were scarcely obtained. The same remark applies to all other kinds of grain. In Bonded Grain, nothing done. Flour did not vary. The attendance of buyers was very small, and altogether it was a very poor market. FOREIGN COMMERCIAL. TEN MINUTES TALK o:t the BALLOT. By J. C. SYridONS. A. You are I believe an advocate for the Ballot ? B. I am. _ A. I am not : but I confess that the increase of intimi dation and bribery at Elections is so great, that I desire to see an effective check applied to this serious and growing evil. I am therefore open to conviction, and should be obliged if you would patiently listen to my objections to the Ballot, and fairly meet them. B. This I will willingly de, hut. I must first of alt inquire whether we agree in sincerely desiring that Electors should elect, in fact and spirit, as the law directs—free front all external controul, and entirely after their own will ? I ask this question because I well know there are many persons who do not wish every Elec tor to exercise this Constitutional right, and I am quite sure that no argument with them could be of the slightest benefit to either party. A. lam not one of such. I wish every elector to have the power of voting entirely according to his own will. I oh ' joet to the Ballot solely because I think it attended with great evils, and that it would not effectively prevent the foul in fluences. B. Pray state your objections. A. The Ballot is not an English, that is to say, a manly mode qf Votiny. B. Whether the Ballot be English or not, in the sense which you apply the term, entirely resolves it self into the general question—namely, whether it be good or bad. If the Ballot is shown to prevent corruption, bri bery, and intimidation, it is good ; and what is good is, I presume, not nn-English ; unless bribes and bullyism are manly and English, which God forbid any Englishman should consider them. You have an evident prejudice against the Ballot because it is secret. Now secrecy, abstractedly, is good or bad according to the purpose to which it is applied: There are many things which it is right to do secretly and which it were wrong to do openly. There is no reason why voting should not be as well done in secret as in public. Immense evils are admitted to exist under open voting : every attempt has been made to remedy these evils consis tently with open voting, and they have all signally failed. If these evils can be remedied by secrecy, surely secrecy becomes a benefit. The most I can admit you is, that the question then resolves itself into a balance between the ini quities of the present system and y our dislike to the idea of secrecy, though realising immense and positive good. A. You have removed the objections 1 have stated, but I tee another evil in secrecy. It would prevent men from knowing who were their friends and who were their foes. B. Allow me to say that you here lose sight of the great principle of freedom of Election. Men have no right to consider the votes of their neighbours in the light of indivi dual friendship or enmity. The franchise is given for the political benefit of the whole Community, and assuredly not for the gratification of personal affection or personal hatred. This is a monstrous error ; and any man who gives a Vote for the sake of personal friendship, be it even to his own brother, violates the %spirit of the Constitution, and grossly abuses the trust reposed in him. As Mr. Grote has well stated, " You have just as much right to know your neigh bour's vote as you have to read his letters." A. But surely if the franchise is for the benefit of the whole Community, the Community have a right to _know one another's vote. B. What, accordir b er to the monkey system of feedi ng , eac h mon k e y putting his paw into his neighbour's pan? No, Sir, this were neither rational nor just. It is from the power of knowing our neighbours' votes that we derive the power of coercing them. So that how ever innocently you, or other honest men, might amuse your selves with this privilege, there are others who would and do turn it to oppression : and therefore we Ballot advocates beg to close a door which, whilst it confers no benefit, ad mits a host of evil. A. Your views on this point would appear to me quite conclusive were every man a voter, but I hold with Lord J. Rung, that the non-electors have a right to exercise the influence of their opinion over the Electors. B. With due deference to Lord John Russell, there is no such right re cognised by the law of the land. The right alluded to is; therefore, a moral one. Now I maintain that if the non elector is competent to sit in judgment over the vote of the elector, he is not only competent, but has a moral right to vote himself. Your objection is therefore a reason for ex tending the suffrage,•but 'no earthly reason against the Bal lot. I may likewise remark that no such influence exists as that you apprehend the Ballot would remove. It is not the non-electors who influence the voters. A. I am afraid the Ballot would be the cause of a great deal of promise breaking and falsehood. B. Do you really think there can be more falsehood or immoraUty than there now is ? I admit that promises might, in the first instance, be extorted and broken ; but I beg of you to observe that the promises to which this objection has reference arc alone compulsory promises to do wrong, that is, to siolate one's conscience, and so to injure one's country. I conceive the keeping of such a promise to be a greater sin than breaking it. Under the present system the promiser keeps faith with a tyrant, and breaks it with his conscience and his country. Under the Ballot your objection is that he would keep faith with his conscience and country but break it with a tyrant. I maintai❑ that morality gains immensely by the latter state of things. I, however, entirely deny that pro mise breaking would be produced by the Ballot. I believe promise asking would be annihilated, and for the very mani fest reason that the more promises that were broken, the less use would there be in asking for them ; so that your hypothesis carries with it its own refutation. A. I will reconsider this objection, because it is that which of all others ought if valid to have weight with reli gious persons. B. I am glad you have named religious persons liar they surely ought to be advocates of any mea sure which will remove the iniquities and debauchery which now outrage all decency at each general election. A. Very true, but are you sure that the Ballot would remove all this : above nil would it remove bribery, and might not a sum of money be promised to a class or party °linen in case of the return of the bribing Candidate. B. The wholesale bribery of such a scheme would ensure its detection : I am confident it would be therefore imprac ticable. Any bribe before hand would have no influence over the secret act of the voter, nor would any Candidate be fool enough to squander his money on such a hazard. For the same reason menaces would have no effect, for the voter would be aware that the suspicion of his having given an adverse vote would be just the same whiche,er way he secretly voted, and that he could not avoid chastisement by a compliance with coercion which it would be impossible for him to prove. A. Will not men's votes be guessed by their known opinions? B. Suppose they are, what of that ? The knowledge that his vote might be guessed mould be no in ducement to a man to vote otherwise than as he felt inclined, seeing that his see.-et vote either way could by no.means affect such guess or ward off its consequences ; for neither would the Ballot leave to the suborner the power of de tecting nor to the voter the power of giving the slightest evidence of which way he voted. This is the anti-corrup tion power of the Ballot. Yesterday we touched on the continuing improvement. of the Continental markets, and the short space of titne that since has passed can naturally not have given rise to etny' ma terial difference, and the accounts brought tiq to-day are of the same summary result, as yesterday, generally satisfactory. Letters from Bordeaux report the Raw Sagar market very lively, and the finer qualities of French Colonial are in good request at advancing prices-of Bourbon about 2 .400 bags, at prices varying after quality from 53f. to 63f. per 50 kil. duty paid, or 31 f. 80 cents. to 39 f. 10 cents, in bond, being equal to 255. to 325. per cwt. Coffee was even advancing, and very important transactions bad taken place in all the different kinds that corns on the market ; 4,280 bags Laguayra have been sold at 55 f. to 62 1. 50 cents. per 50 kilograms in bond, being equal to 441 to 56a. per cwt. ; 2,176 bags Padang at 98 f. to 98f. 50 cents, duty paid, or 55f. 10 cents, to 55 f. 60 cents, in bond, being equal to 445. to 445. 6d. per cwt. ; 1,419 bags Java at 110 f. to 111 f. 50 cents. duty paid. or 67 f. 10 cents. to 68 1. 60 cents. in bond, being equal to 53.. Bd. to 543. 10d per cwt. ; 935 bags Hsvannah at 521. to 5Sf. is bond, or 41s. 81. to 461. 41 per cwt. ; 150 casks and 90 barrels do. in bond, at 60f. to 67f., being equal to 48s. to 535. Bd. per cart. These transactions thus comprising nearly 10,000 bags have given the market an extraordinary firm ap pearance, and all ivhat rinsains in first hands are held for full prices. Cotton being comparatively of inconsiderable importance the sales are not extensive, but what goes off is for full and better prices. Of Pepper the stock on the spot is rather large, and in consequence the prices paid are not so full as during the last week. 1,400 quintals heavy and half heavy have been disposed of at 80f. to 831. per 50 Kilogrammes duty paid, or 58e. to 61s, in bond, being equal to 41d. to 44d. per lb. ; 930 quintals light fetched 63f. duty paid, or 411. in bond ; equal to 31d. per lb.

A. I must admit that on the principle of not' buying a pig in a poke" bribery would die A natural death under the Ballot : neither does it, appear that menaces would have much effect. But pray Sir what prevents a tyrant landlord from keeping entirely away from the poll those de pendents whom he guesses would vote against him ? B. Are not the dependents to whom you here allude those only whose votes the Landlord now coerces? A. Pre cisely, because it is only such whom lie could prevent from polling : his slaves in fact. B. Then my good friend your objection amounts to this,—that the tyrant landlords would be driven to deprive themselves of their present strength ! A. That never struck me ; there is another argument which I have-heard adduced, namely,-that if the voters are to have the benefit of secret voting, so should their Repre sentatives. B. The word Representative is alone an an swer to this glaring absurdity. The Representative is re sponsible to the voter for his acts of Representation, and to this responsibility publicity is essential : the voter is respon sible only to his conscience, and to that responsibility puli licity is not essential, but, on the contrary, detrimental. A. Would the Ballot destroy Election Committees ? B. I trust so. Bribery and intimidation being prevented, there could be no pretext for those corrupt tribunals, which are so frequently made the means of vexatious and maliTnant punishment to duly elected Reformers.* All that would be required would be additional attention to the Registration. _ _ A. I am afraid the B.Allot would destroy the influence o f property. B. I believe on the contrary that it would greatly enhance the just and legitimate influence of pro perty ; whilst to its manifold abuses of power I am e qua ll y confident it will prove a death-blow. The man of property who diffuses around him the kindly influences of charity, benevolence, protection, and sympathy—who applies his wealth to the alleviation of the wants and sufferings of the pony—who is a kind neighbour, a liberal landlord, and a just man—will flnd himself' possessed of a degree of moral influence and real power, which not all the gold of Crw;us could purchase, and which being based in the hearts of the people, will QPCP4tO just as strongly and j us t as surely, in secr et as in public. To this m ora l i n fl uence and to the cultivation of judgment and thought tictAng the people* I atri cniivinPe4 the Willa would fame the A:Astoeraey to have recourse.

S. t. S. 38 - 32 35 32 34 -4) IRELAND. MR. SHARMAN CRAWFORD.—This gentleman has just sent forth his fifth fulminatory epistle. On the present occasion, in addressing Mr. O'Connell, he has borrowed for the text of the politico-personal homily the following pas sage in the Liberator's last letter addressed to the people of Ireland :—" One word more, and I conclude. lam again (observed Mr. O'Connell) the object—the chosen ohject--- of variegated and petulent calumny, from what ought to be an unexpected quarter. Shall I condescend to reply Yes, I will in one, and only in one, sentence—My ife is nay eply." There is nothing new nor deserving of notice in letter the fifth, except perhaps that its tone and the terms employed in it appear to indicate an accession of bile, and that the writer waxes in wrath as he puffingly proceeds on his course. POLITICAL UNION.—The usual weekly meeting of the Trades' Political Union took place on Tuesday night, when the following resolution was adopted :—" That we most earnestly call on our Liberal fellow-citizens, and our Libe ral l'ellow•countrymen in general, to come forward with their contributions towards the fund now in progress of col•. lection, for the defence of our representatives, Daniel O'Connell and Robert Hutton, ,sqrs., and for the protec tion of our rights and liberties against the attack threatened by a base, foul, and corrupt faction.l . _ _ VIGNoLEs THE STIPENDIARY.—The faction in Carlow have been trying .to intimidate Lord Mulgrave and the Government, connected with the case of the notorious Vignoles, of whom we long warned the government in vain, for our efforts were neutralized by contemporary protection to the functionary. We were aware of the doings that were going on among them, and that they had addressed some silly rhodomoatode to his Excellency not calling for reply. They then called a meeting, the requisition allud ink only to Mr. Gleeson, and not naming Mr. Vignola. But the real object to bolster up Vignoles having appeared, two magistrates, Messrs. Houghton and Moore, protested against the surreptitious introduction of his name as not cognizant by the requisition.--- 7 Alot. The resolutions adopted at the Carlow Court-house on the 14th inst. by some of the Magistrates, is a stock sub ject for the Orange journals. The Mail apparently will never be tired of enlarging upon them. Column after co lumn is daily filled with the " discussion." On Wednes day last " fttrther and other important documents con nected with the ease" were given to the public by our con temporary. These " important documents" are two musty memorials made by some of the Carlow Magistracy more than a month ago, and which we believe have been pub lished in every newspaper which thought them worth pub lishing. _ _ . 0,1 Monday last a public dinner was given at Ennis corthy to the Members for the county of Wexford. THE NATIONAL ANNUITY.—ACtive arrangements arc now in progress for causing th e co ll ec tion for the National Fund to be effected in November next by all the rural parishes in which it was judiciously postponed until after harvest. In a Newspaper, published in 1771, is found the following curious article, which is affirmed to be literally true :—" Mr. Charles Forbes, Churchwarden of Siddiug ton, to Joseph Cooke, debtor—To making. the Command ments, altering the B.dief, and making a new Lord's Prayer, 11.

A. Some people think that many of the you:7s ate too ignorant to know how to vote. B. The Ballot w:ll ha an excellent motive to the Aristocracy to instruct them. But this is a point which refers to the suffrage and not to the Ballot. A. Is the Ballot an organic change ? B. Assuredly not, how can it he ? it is merely an alteration in the modus operandi of a constitutional luw. Lord John Ru2sull was for it in 1832, though he demurs about it now (when it is ten times more needed than then) and his Lordship was al ways atminst " Organic Changes." A. Do you consider the Ballot a party measure ? B. Certainly not ; it is applicable to both parties : of all others the Tory party ate bound to advocate the Ballot, seeing they are never tired of vaunting that they possess the hearts of the Constituency. Perhaps nothing more eleaily proves the unspeakable falsehood of the faction ( I do not allude to its numerous dupes) than this assertion, coupled with desperate hatred to a measure which, if they spoke the truth, would realize all their desires. A. In what light do you view those who understanding the nature and efficacy of the Ballot, yet re: ist it ? B. In the light of Tories : I cannot do otherwise, for as they cannot but see Reform daily worstencd by the prowess of corrup tion they are aiding corruption by refusing the only adequate defence to reform. A. Will not opinion check corruption ? B. Does it check corruption ? Is not the love of the people as great for good government as it ever was : and has not the ma jority for good government in the House of Commons dwindled from 200 to 10, and that in 5;% ears ? No, Sir ; corruption is chucking opinion, and ere long will gag it, until it bursts forth in violctce and popular revolt, and it is to this gaol that the Conservative Whigs and Tories are by their mad resistance to the Ballot rapidly goading the people. They who are for peace, justice, constitutional liberty, and religion, are for the Ballot. They who are for tyranny, corruption, and anarchy, are naturally and necessa rily against it. Of which party, Sir, are you ? A. Of the for mer decidedly. B. Then, Sir, a duty is contingent on your decision, which as a patriot, a citizen, and a christian, you are bound to fulfil : PETITION FOR THE BALLOT. BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY MORNlNG.—Yesterday, the morning performances at the Town Hall were Mendels shon's St. Paul, and a miscellaneous concert. The at tendance was much greater than upon the previous city— the galleries as well as the body of the Hall being full, al though not inconveniently so. The Birmingham critics are enraptured with the oratorio, and Mendelssohn has begot a musical favour here unequalled since the time of Weber's appearance in England at the production of his Oberon. The vocal parts were allotted to the same singers who appeared a short time since at Exeter Hall, when we noticed the oratorio. There was some slight but not ma terial alterations, all of which, however, were beneficial. Bennett is rapidly improving, and will shortly be second to none as a sacred singer. Phillips exerted himsclfgreatly. Ma chin likewise was very successful in the recitative, of which a great deal fell to his lot, while Miss C. Novello, Mrs. Shaw, and Mrs. Knyvett considerably added to their al ready deservedly acquired reputation. Our surprise and gratification at the extraordinary precision and efficiency of the choruses of which we spoke yesterday were, if possible, increased by witnessing the brilliant effects they produce] in various parts of the oratorio to-day. The performance of St. Paul lasted three hours, and was conducted by the composer with a quiet and unestentious dignity, the unfail ing accompaniment of real talent of any species. Grisi and Albertazzi then sung some selections of sacred music in ad mirable style. . . The evening meeting was held at the theatre, which was crowded to excess. But a few minutes after the doors had been opened, there was not even standing room to be obtained in either pit,.. boxes, or gallery, and many parties were, consequently, disappointed, and com pelled to return home again. The attraction of the evening was the opera of Semirainide, in which Grisi, bertazzi and Tamburini sustained their original characters as at her Majesty's Theatre last season, and afforded the spectators, many of whom now witnessed them for the first time upon the stage, the rare union in their persons of a combination of first-rate dramatic and operatic ability. Cu rioni played Rubini's character, Idreno, but proved a very inefficient substitute. Lablache's character, Oroe, was re spectably sustained by Giubeliei. The opera was com pressed into one act, and was received with the greatest approbation. In the miscellaneous concert, which followed, consisting of selections from Bishop, Balfe, Costa, and others, Phillips was encored in his ever fresh and delightful song, " The Light of other Days," Harper's trumpet ac companiment obtaining its usual applause. Miss Clara Novello sung the Scotch ballad " Bonnie Prince Charlie" with much sweetness, and the audience called for its repe tition. The performance did not terminate till 12 o'clock. It is stated that the receipts, independent of those at the theatre last night, and for the sale of book &c., already amount to upwards of 6,000/. - ..
