A Sheriff's feast in this town on Tuesday last has given great comfort to the poor dejected Tories. Mine host's name is Hyndman, and among his guests he had the proud honour of numbering Lord Loftus, the rejected of Wex ford ; Mr. Randal Plunket, the rejected of Meath, and latterly of Drogheda ; Colonel Perceval, the rejected of the Treasury Benches ; and Mr. Shaw, the bearer of so many rejected addresses to his Majesty, touching the restoration of the rejected of the nation. In short, it was a convocation of out-and-outers, who came together to take a drop of comfort under the Sheriff's mahogany, whose hospitality, unlike that of the world, delights in providing a refuge for the destituto, and a shelter for political outcasts. The noble patrician who graced this solemn meeting with his presence is but just emerged from infancy. He stands a chance, should he live long enough to bury his father, Of being Marquis of Ely one day ; and, judging of the future man by the wit of its father, the boy, we may safely pronounce will, in no degree, degenerate from the wisdom of his ancestors. When Dr. Smith sang " God save the King," Lord Loftus joined the eminent vocalist,. laying a particular emphasis on the words Confound their politics." When " The Glorious, Pious, and Immortal Memory of King WilliaM the Third" was pledged with nine times nine, Lord Loftus called for two cheers more ! And when his Lordship's health was drank, he said that if ever he should desert the principles of Toryism, " Time should lose its value, and he should forget what was due to himself and his family !" Sheriff Hyndman was the spokesman of the night, by virtue of his privilege as giver of the wine, and prefaced every toast with a short and apposite speech. He intro duced the spes ultinia Teucruni with a most curious feli city. '" We live in times of doubt and worse than doubt. It is a pleasure, however, that we have one on whom we can depend. I will, without further preface, propose the Duke of Cumberland." His introduction of Mr. Shaw was equally happy ; he represented the Right Honourable Recorder as a Judge— " an eminent Judge—one who was never equalled on the Bench." The eminent and unparalleled Judge replied in a strain of confident and reckless assertion, not unusual with him, but yet very startling, when we consider his remarkable and ostentatious assumption of superior sanctity and puritanism. He characterized the late opposition in terms as opprobrious as untrue ; stating that some are for destroying corpora tions—more the Church—not a few of them the hereditary peerage—and a great many of them the monarchy itself! ! There is a judge for you, ‘ who was never equalled on the bench." He further declared that the income of the Church does not exceed 400,000/a year, leaving on average about 200/ a-year to each clergyman." Now, it is quite impossible that so good a judge as Shaw can have been deceived to believe such a statement. Great ingenuity has been practised by some of the Bishops to screw down the average, without, however, diminishing the income ; but they have not yet been able to reduce it so low as two hundred a-year : and no man knows or ought to know that better than the re presentative of the Irish University. NORTHUMBERLAND. RE-ELECTION OF LORD HOWICK FOR THE NORTHERN DIVISION. ALNwIcK, MAT I.There being no opposition to the return of Lord Howick, and it having been understood for some days that his Lordship would not be prseent, the assemblage was not so numerous as otherwise might have been expected. After the usual preliminary business had been concluded, C. W. Biggs, Esq., rose and said—that they had assembled to supply a vacancy, occasioned by Lord Howick having been called to fill a situation under the restored Administration of Lord Melbourne. He begged to propose Lord 'Howick as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. P. J. SELBY, Esq., seconded the nomination. No other candidate having been proposed, Lord Howick was declared duly elected ; and, after a vote of thanks to the She riff, the meeting was dissolved. SOUTH DEVON ELECTION. EXETER, FRIDAY, MAY I.—ln the course of an hour after the proceedings at the nomination had terminated, the friends of Lord John Russell, to the number of 300, assembled to dine at the Subscription-rooms, where a plain, but a very sub stantial, repast was provided. Lord Ebrington presided, having Lord John Russell on his right, and Lord Seymour on the left. Sir Wm. Moles worth, M.P., Mr. Charles Buller, M. P., Dr. Bowring, M. P., Captain Buller, Mr. Newman, Mr. Hamlyn, Dr. Carwithen, Mr. Tyrrell, and many others of the most eminent county gentlemen were also present. The cloth having been removed, and the usual loyal toasts drunk, The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of Lord John Russell. The toast was drunk with the utmost enthusiasm. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in returning thanks, recapitulated the sentiments be had uttered upon the hustings, and again de clared that in the opposition he had afforded to the late Go vernment, he had been actuated by no factious motives.— ( Cheers.) The Noble Lord concluded by proposing the fa vourite toast of Mr. Fox, " Civil and Religious Liberty all over the World."— (Cheers.) The next toast was " Earl Grey"—(Great cheering); and this was followed by the health of " Lord Melbourne and the rest of his Majesty's present Ministry."—( Cheers.) Lord SEYMOUR returned thanks. " The Irish Church," " The Liberty of the Press," and " The Health of the Members of Lord John Russell's Com mittee," were the next toasts. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Health of two of the Re presentatives from an adjoining County (Cornwall), Sir Wm. Molesworth and Mr. Charles Buller."—(Cheers.) Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH, in returning thanks said,—l trust that the success which accompanied our contest with the Tories in the House, will equally accompany us in this con test. I supported the Noble Lord, and I wished to see him reinstated in office. I desired to see the Whigs, and the Noble Lord their leader, in power, because the Whigs have ever shown themselves more inclined to liberal principles, more favourable to popular opinions ; because they can now, with ease, with safety, and with honour to themselves, effect those much-needed, and, in themselves, beneficial changes in our institutions, which the people demand. I must observe, that the same feature which has marked all the last con tests in England, is still more displayed in this contest. I speak from my own knowledge—l appeal to the experience of each gentleman sitting at these tables, and I assert, that every species of threat, intimidation, and falsehood has been employed in the most lavish manner by the Tory land lords—(cheers)—their agents, and the Clergy of the Church of England—many of the Clergy have, indeed, shown them selves to be the determined supporters of all abuses--the reso lute foes of all liberal and enlightened principles—the profli gate propounders of the basest falsehood, where they can gain their ends by such means. Such efforts have been very suc cessful. Many voters will either be kept away from the poll, or will be obliged to vote contrary to their real inclination and wishes. If, said the Hon. Baronet, turning to Lord John Russell—if, my Lord, you lose this election, you will lose it simply by the means of intimidation, for the majority of the electors are, undoubtedly, in your favour ; but they dare not, nor can they be expected, even for conscience sake, to incur utter destruction and ruin. —(Loud cheers.) Their responsi bility to their brother electors—their responsibility to their own consciences—is as nothing, when compared to the respon• sibility which they are under to their imperious landlords, to the tithe-extortioning Priests ; the one, my Lord, is a mere name—the other is something in , dread and terrific reality. If, my Lord, you gain your election, you will gain it with difficulty, by the self-sacrifice of many, and some of your truest and most undaunted supporters will rue the day of your return ; for they will suffer, as has been the case in other counties, through the anger, the and revenge of their infuriated landlords. --(Cheers.) Now, my Lord, these considerations deserve your most earnest at tention, in order to apply the fitting remedy to these enormous evils. The only remedy is secret suffrage.—( Great cheer ing.) Now, my Lord, bear these considerations in your mind ; remember this contest. Remember the electors of Devon, and the evil which they will endure, when you will have here after to give your vote on this subject—when you will have to say aye or no for the ballot.—(Renewed cheering.) The ballot, my Lord, is the only remedy which will strike at the root of this pernicious influence, of these enormous evils, of which we most justly complain. Mr. CHARLES BULLER could not help taking advantage of the moment when all the Noble Lord's warm and kindly feel ings were called into action by the generous zeal displayed in behalf of him and his glorious cause, by the personal sa crifices which the electors of Devon were undergoing in order to secure his triumph, to call on him never again to impose such sacrifices on them.—(Loud Cheers.) Give the ballot, and the generous feelings which prompted them now, at the hazard of their own personal interests, to uphold the cause of freedom, justice, and civiliza tion would impel their conduct still. But they would operate unimpeded by the influences which now counteracted them : the elector would obey the impulse of those better feel ings, but he could do so without injury to himself.—( Cheers. ) " Why," exclaimed the Hon. Gentleman, " how should we stand now in this county if we had the ballot ? Should we have to be nicely examining returns, weighing the con sequences of such a squire's ratting, or counting the number influenced by fear of the tithe-proctor? No; we should rely on the ballot-box exhibiting the same result as that we saw in the Castle-yard to-day—(Great cheering)—and giving the Noble Lord a majority of three to one. I saw the supporters of Mr. Parker enter the town to-day—l know the look of the Devonshire farmer when going about a business of which his conscience approves. I am sure such was not the look Of those who came in to-day under the guidance of the parsons to vote for Lord Rolle and the Bishop.—( Loud cheers. ) These men came to vote against their inclinations, and I would not have feared with the ballot to stake the result of the election on the votes of those very men. I have urged these topics on the Noble Lord in no unfriendly feeling ; but when the question comes under consideration, I beg him to recollect this exhibition of feeling on the part of his con stituents—to recollect the situation of those who sacrifice their personal interests in order to vote for him, and of those who, at the expense of their feelings and consciences, are compelled to_vote against him."—( Loud and enthusiastic cheers.) The party separated soon after eight o'clock. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 4, 1835. SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH ELECTION. Yesterday Sir John Campbell was re-elected one of the Members for the City, without opposition. A few minutes before twelve o'clock Sir John Campbell's supporters took their places on the hustings, among whom we observed the Lord Provost, Sir David Kinloch, of Gilmerton, Bart., Sir T. Dick Lauder, Bart., Sir A. C. Maitland Gibson, Bart., Sir George Campbell, the Solicitor- General (Cunninghame), Mr. R. Bell, advocate, Mr. J. Jardine, advocate, Mr. Andrew Millar, Mr. Graham Dalziel, Captain Mackenzie, Mr. John Craig, Great King-street, &c. The Sheriff then arrived, and having gone through the usual preliminaries, JOHN CRAIG, Esq., of Great King-street, stood forward and congratulated the electors on the second great victory that had been achieved in the popular cause. The first victory, he ob served, must be considered as the most important one, because it was.absolutely necessary that a reform of Parliameut should precede reforms in th e State. But the second victory was not of light importance, as securing them the reaping of all th e anticipated fruits of the first.—( Cheers.) That victory had been achieved over the party who, after opposing to the utter most the first grand Reform, pretend'e'd that they had become converts to the doctrines of Reformers.—(Cheers.) Could any one believe them to be sincere in their pretensions ? (Cries of " No, no.") He, for one, had no faith in sudden conversions, and least of all in those conversions which took place when it was for the interest of the converted._( Hear.) A cry was at present got up that the " Church was in danger." This was a cry that was never raised but for mischief. In the reign of Queen Anne it had nearly overthrown the House of Hanover, and with it the liberties of the people—afterwards, at the time of Lord George Gordon, they had seen it wrapping London in flames ; and in later times they had all known the disgraceful scenes to which it gave rise in Birmingham.— ( Loud cheers.) But what Church was in danger ? He knew of none, except it was a church without a congregation —( Cheers)—where there was no resident incumbent ; and if he were resideat there, he would have no person to minister to in religion. He rejoiced to see such a •Church in danger. After describing the important duties which Sir John Campbell had to perform in London, and complimenting the electors on the good sense they had shown in not requesting him to leave those duties for the purpose of doing homage to them here, he concluded by proposing Sir John Campbell as a fit and proper person to represent the city in Parliament. ROBERT BELL, Esq., Advocate, seconded the nomination. The SHERIFF then asked if there was any other candidate to be proposed, and no one advancing for this purpose, he called on those who were for Sir John Campbell to hold up their hands, when every hand within view was raised. The SHERIFF then declared Sir John Campbell to be duly elected one of the representatives of the city. Sir GSORGE CAMPBELL, in the name of his brother, returned the warmest and most grateful acknowledgements of Sir John Campbell for the high honour now conferred on him, in being returned for a third time as representative of this city. Per haps he might be permitted to remark, that the triumph of the liberal electors was greatly enhanced in thus returning their representative in his absence. They permit him not for a ceremonial—to do homage to themselves—to leave the great public duties now devolving on him. Sure he was that no pri vate interest of his own would for one moment have prevented his hastening to meet the electors, to whom, whatever other avoca tions he may have, he must ever feel that his first duty is due ; and he was desired by his brother to state, that the moment Par liament was prorogued he would hasten to Edinburgh, to pay his respects in person, and render an account of his steward ship.—(Loud cheers.) Nor have the electors overlooked the moral effect of this calm display of conscious strength, and that such will be felt throughout the kingdom. Here at least is no re-action.—( Great cheering.) The Loan PROVOST then proposed the thanks of the meet ing to the Sheriff, which called forth loud and general accla mations, and for which the worthy Sheriff returned thanks. Sir THOMAS Dicx LAUDER being loudly called for, came forward amidst the warmest congratulations and enthusiastic applouse of those present, and said—The present was not like the elections he had hitherto witnessed at all, and so little in terest did it appear to excite, that he was almost tempted him self to start an opposition in the persons of Lord Ramsay and Mr. Learmonth—( Laughter and cheers.) Where were now these gallant coursers ? The Learmonth horse, he was afraid, was run off the turf ; and the Dalhousie colt, notwithstanding his great pedigree, had of late not shown the game that was expected of him.—(Loud laughter.) The facetious Baronet, after excusing himself from addressing them at greater length in consequence of his being troubled at present with influenza, took his leave amidst great cheering. The crowd in a few minutes dispersed. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The past week's arrivals of most kinds of Grain were mode rate, of Oats plentiful, and of Flour the return was middling. There was scarcely any variation in the trade during the week. This morning there is a moderate fresh supply of all descrip tions of Corn. For fine Wheat Is. per quarter advance has been made or, the terms of this day se'nnight, but the trade in general was not lively. Barley meets a slow demand at former prices. Beans maintain their value. There is very little doing in either White or Grey Pease. The late rains, toge ther with a good supply of Oats, has checked this trade, but prices are not lower than this day se'nnight. The Flour trade remains as recently reported. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

DENHALL MARKETS. )3 , the Carcass. On Saturday a meeting, purporting to be of " the Magistrates, freeholders, and electors of Middlesex," was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, attended by about 200 gentlemen, at which an address to the King, in support of the Established Church, was agreed to. Colonel Clitheroe presided at the meeting, and there were present, among others, Sir Charles Forbes, Bart. ; Sir John Gibbons, Bart. ; Sir Peter Laurie, Bart. ; W. A. Mackinnon, Esq., M. P. ; Thomas Wood, jun.; Esq. ; J. M. Strachan, Esq. ; John Capel, Esq. ; Newell, Connop, Esq. ; William Paynter, Esq. ; T. B. Fyler, Esq. ; George Baillie, PATRIOTISM EXTRAORDINARY ! ! The Re formers of the close borough of Cirencester have set on foot a penny subscription in aid of Lord John Russell's eleotion. IRELAND. DUBLIN, FRIDir. Lord Plunket did not take his seat in the Court of Chancery until this day, when Mpssrs. O'Loghlen and Perrin were sworn in their respective offices of Solicitor and Attorney-Generals. During the ceremony Mr. O'Con nell came into Court. The greeting between the Hon. Gentleman and the Noble Lor on the bench was cordial in the extreme—the latter rising from his scat, and bowing after the politest fashion to Mr. O'Connell. The walls of the city are this day plastered over with placards, setting forth in huge letters that there will be a meeting of the " Trades' Political Union" on Sunday next, for the purpose of taking into consideration the necessary arrangements for giving a public and triumphant reception to the Earl of Mulgrave, on his entry into the metropolis. The first meeting of the Anti-Tory Association took place yesterday, at the Corn Exchange. The room was densely crowded. On the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL, EBENEZER JACOB, Esq., was called to the chair. Mr. DWYER having read several population returns, Mr. O'CoNNELL then rose and said—The present meet ing having been called principally upon my instigation, I feel it my duty, Sir, to address this meeting, and to state the reasons that have induced me to submit the propositions contained in the advertisement to the consideration of the Anti-Tory Association. They are three. The first relates to the termination of the body called " The Anti-Tory As sociation ;" the next to the formation in its place of ano ther, having more complicated functions, but, perhaps, after all, the same object in view ; and the third to extend to every county, city, and town in Ireland, the benefit of the association for the protection and exercise of the elective franchise.—(" Hear, hear," and loud cheering.) The Anti- Tory Association sprung into existence after his Majesty had been advised, suddenly and without cause, to dismiss the Melbourne Administration. I shall do Sir Robert Peel the justice to express my conviction, that if he had been in England when Lord Melbourne was dismissed, the moment he was called into the councils of his Sovereign, he has too much good'sense and property at stake not to have given the King the advice which he ultimately gave him, not to rely upon private flatterers, or designing and factious politicians, but to resort to that Administration which would have the support and sanction of the people at large.— ( Hear, hear.) He has made the experiment, and the moment he did so, the Anti-Tory Association sprung into existence. The Association has now run its career. We have achieved our object ; and as, upon our attaining emancipation, the Ca tholic Association dissolved itself, so, in my opinion, this Association should feel it has achieved its object, and has triumphed. The period of our glory and vietery has come, and with a cheer we may exclaim, " The battle is won," and we may dispense with our forces for the present. Having shown the object of the Anti -Tory Association, the next question to be put to me is, whether there is not another ob ject which requires the vigilant attention of a public body in Dublin, and the active co- operation of public bodies in every other part of Ireland ? That question will be answered by replying to this—" Does the elective franchise in Ireland want protection or not ?" I defy any man to tell me it does not. It is assailed by the most cruel oppression that ever threatened human beings for exercising their constitutional functions. It would be better, for many freeholders to be pickpockets and sheepstealers than not to be allowed honestly to exercise the elective franchise. •In Kerry, where an un relenting persecution is carried on ; at Carlow, and Wexford, and wherever the franchise has been honestly exercised, per secution exists. The Tory party have already laid their hands on a number of freeholders, and are not satisfied with making blows at the independent Catholic electors, but at all those who are poor, and dared to exercise the franchise honestly. This persecution is avowed—the organs of the Orange party proclaim it—the Orange Papers urge on the Orange landlords to these acts of savage cruelty and oppression. We, therefore, want a Society to protect these poor people; and here I feel bound to declare that I think ordinary measures will not be sufficient—( Hear.) Sir, we must protect the people. I care not what the consequences are, if it be necessary to have poor laws, lam for poor laws.—( Cheering.) Orangemen of Ire land, you have driven me to it ; and Orange landlords, look to yourselves.—(Cheers.) You talk of making the people starve, but see what a surplus you will have upon your estates if we make you support the people. Dictating to nobody, I look with trembling fearfulness at poor laws ; but I feel it an incumbent duty to prevent misery of a two-fold aspect. I prefer the one to the double evil, and am decidedly for some system of protection for the poor.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) If I could have sooner persuaded myself to take this step, you would have poor laws at this moment in Ireland.—( Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman here detailed the various measures he vainly endeavoured to wring from the former Ministers, and which were opposed by Lord Stanley. He alluded particularly to the necessity for a new registration act, and for the proper construction of the words " beneficial interest," which the As sistlnt-Barristers had construed in a manner that considerably reduced the extension of the ten-pound franchise, and then pro ceeded as follows :—I am happy to say that I have reason to be convinced that it is the intention of the Government to bring in a Bill this very session to assimilate as much as possible the registration of England and Ireland, and to give an appeal both ways—from improper admission as well as improper rejection. At present we require the aid and existence of a Franchise Protecting Society, not only in Dublin but in every part of Ireland.—( Hear.) I propose,• therefore, that we should, for the purposes of protection—the protection of the people against the exterminating process of turning them out of their laud, and for the protection of the francise throughout ' the country—that we should not only have a body here to put in motion, and watch over the resources within its own circle, but similar bodies in every county, city, and town in Ireland. —( Hear.) There remains but one topic more, and that is, corporate abuses.—( Cheers and laughter.) I believe nobody will deny that the abuses exist. I should like to see any per son in the city of Dublin denying it.—( Hear, hear.) Why, I would really give a shilling to look at such a man.—( Loud laughter.) If there be one, that is all (looking significantly at David M'Cleery). The rest of the public think otherwise. Now that Lord Haddington is gone from Ireland—l don't know if any of you were at the burial.—(Laughter.) By way of parenthesis, it was the pleasantest burial I ever saw. --(Laughter.) There were plenty of mutes at it, and dogs that bite but do not bark.—(Renewed laughter.) Before Lord Haddington went away I do not know if he left a lock of his comely grey hair to the Corporation.—( Laughter.) He, however, left them a bit of a sermon. Only think of this—he talked of the Corporation as Irishmen ! They are hardly so ; but he also talked to them as Christians I—(Loud laughter.) He might call them Irishmen, because they hap pened to have been born here, and have just enough of coun try to enable them to sell it ; but calling them Christians is rather a strong expression.--( Renewed cheering.) His short reign was here marked by more of Orange virulence, bigotry, and oppression, than is remembered in the history of party spirit. The fangs of the party were not able to settle us, though their jaws were open to swallow us.—( Laughter. ) Sir, every body admits we must have corporate reform. Sir James Graham, and Stanley with his " Darby-Dilly " --(Laughter)—declared themselves for it. The Ministry have declared themselves for it. The tithe question de mands a speedy settlement ; but, in my opinion, the Cor poration question should obtain the preference.—(Cheers ) ' I believe before this day fortnight the Corporation Bill will be ready. I would keep up the same number of Aldermen, one of them to be Lord Mayor. All I want is a proper consti tuency, and the selection of Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Lord Mayor. The present class of freemen must be swept away ; there could be no reform without that step. In all the corpo rate reports they are exhibited as the upholders of gross mo nopoly and usurpation—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) The freedom belongs to all inhabitants, by which is meant house holders in the town ; but the present class of freemen is such, that it would require ten of them to rent a house—(Laughter) —or you may find nine of them. like nine tailors upon a shop board, only constituting one man.—_( Continued laughter.) What is the plan for every town containing above 20,000 in habitants ? To distribute the city of Dublin, for instance, into wards—the freemen of each ward to be householders resident in the ward. The Election of Common Council to be annual—the election of Aldermen to be three from each ward—the number of wards to be eight. The election of Aldermen to be for six years, and chosen out of the Common Council. The Lord Mayor to be selected from the Common Council. Men fit to fill the office of Common Councilmen will then be anxious to become members, not only for the power, but s t a ti on , it w ill con f er on th em as c iti zens . If this state of things should be brought about, I may myself be anxious to obtain corporate honours—l will canvass the Common Council—l will canvass the Wards—l will canvass to be an Alderman—l will even canvass to be Lord Mayor, and, if I am elected, you shall have a merry Mayoralty of it-- ( Laughter.) Thus far I have developed my plans, and I now address myself to my constituents with some pride and gratifi cation, because throughout this trying and arduous contest I have not been inactive.—( Hear, hear.) When I last addressed you in this room you were the slaves of Orange faction—you have now the King's Government and the King's Ministers fa vourable to and the friends of public liberty. If I am again taunted with the spoliation of the property of the Church, my reply will be ready, " Let every man support his own pastor, and if he does not choose to do so, no one else will." It has been found that in Ireland there is a surplus of Church pro perty, which is not required for Ecclesiastical purposes. Now, I would respect the vested rights of the sinecure clergyman during his life, and I would provide for the spiritual wants of every Protestant in the country ; but, after that, there will be a surplus, and a surplus which must necessarily increase in course of time, as the sinecure clergymen will cease to have vested rights, which, I agree with Lord John Russell, ought to b . e devoted to the purposes of education. Each persuasion is convinced of the religious errors of the other ; the Catholic believes the Protestant to be wrong ; the Protestant deems the Catholic benighted. —( Laughter.) Let the honest men of both sides apply this surplus fund to the education of the people, and then the truth will be made apparent ; for who are such judges of the truth as an educated people ?—( Hear, hear. ) There is one topic to which I will now allude, and from which I will never shrink—l mean the Repeal of the Union. I still entertain the same opinions upon this subject that I have always held, that Ireland will never be prosperous or happy until her domestic Parliament is restored to her.— ( Great cheering.) Am I, however, with this opinion, to play the game of the enemies of Ireland—am I to cry out that opi nion amidst the roar of parties, and the triumphs of the Orange faction ?—( Continued cheering.) I am against that. - - (Laughter and cheers.) If I see the Ministry, for one year, persevering in their determination to do justice to Ireland, I shall give them another trial ; but let them take notice that I must see them at work. I will give them the necessary time, and if they deceive both you and me, it will demonstrate that repeal is our only resource, and that Ireland must look to herself. We have had many Lords Lieutenants here and some good ones ; poor Lord Anglesey was amongst the latter, though mistaken in his views, but a man is now coming amongst us, with whom I have the honour of being personally acquainted—who, to a superior intellect unites qualities of the brightest order—a man who understands the state of Ireland, comes amongst UPI with the determination of redressing her grievances.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) I now call upon my countrymen, one and all, to support and sustain the King's Ministers. Giving to the Union, therefore, a fair trial, we should never forget, although our aspirations may tend else where, that our idol should be Ireland, and our great struggle the good of the people.—( Cheers.) Mr. O'Connell con cluded by moving that the Anti-Tory Association be now dis solved. Mr. SETON seconded the motion, which was passed unani mously. Mr. O'Dwyer, M. P. for Drogheda, Mr. Barrett, and Mr. Lawless, addressed a few observations to the meeting, after which Mr. O'Connell proposed that the name of the new So ciety should be " The Franchise Association." Mr. WHITE was elected as the first member ; several other gentlemen then gave in their names to be appointed members, and the meeting adjourned. MR. O'CONNELLS ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. Mr. O'Connell has addressed a letter to his constituents and the people of Ireland, on the present position of poli tical parties. The letter is dated from Merrion-square, Dublin, the 28th April, and occupies three columns in the Dublin Papers. The following extracts from it, contain the principal points adverted to : " A new day begins to shine upon us—a new era opens for Ireland—an Administration is formed, pledged as well by it§ political principles, as by its political interests, to do—it is all we require—justice to the people of Ireland. I come, now, before that people, to avow myself the devoted supporter of that Administration. To the King's Ministers I have tendered my unbought, unpurchasable, unconditionable support. I have neither made terms nor stipulations with them. It suffices for me that their political interests, as well as their political principles, are all identified with the cause of good Government, and of justice to the loved land of my birth. The tranquillity, the prosperity, the liberty of Ireland, also appear to me identified with the maintenance in power of the present Ministry. " But as I have not deemed it necessary or wise to make stipulations or conditions with the present Ministry, I may— and I ought to be asked—what benefits I expect and antici pate for Ireland, from the King's present Ministers ? This is a question which I am bound, and, indeed, am quite ready to answer. ,‘ Ido expect from the present Ministry these advantages For Ireland:— " First—That the power and insolence of the fell Orange faction must instantly cease. " Secondly—The country will cease to be governed by its unrelenting enemies. " Thirdly—The administration of justice in Ireland will be purified. " Fourthly—The highest offices will cease to be abused by the dull and meritless foes of Ireland. " Fifthly—From men I come to measures, and I feel my anticipations of ' good to Ireland' rise upon me. The first principle to be worked out by the Ministry is—the great prin ciple of the appropriation of the surplus of the revenues of the Establishment. " Sixthly—The great question of the final extinction of tithes will be in the hands of a Ministry pledged and determined to do justice to the Catholic population of the country. " Seventhly—That the present Ministry are publicly and most unequivocally pledged to a thorough Reform of all cor porate abuses.. " There are many other benefits to be derived to Ireland from the present Ministry, which I need not recapitulate, but which must necessarily flow from the principle on which they have undertaken the burden of public affairs—namely, that of doing justice to Ireland. " For near seven hundred years has ill-fated Ireland been oppressed and misgoverned. Every outrage in the catalogue of human crime which could be inflicted by one country on another has been poured out on Ireland by British oppression and misrule : and there is a party in England—the Tory party —as ready, as anxious, and as malignantly desirous to continue, and if possible, to aggravate all by gone tyranny, as if they were only in the first years of its infliction, and were as fresh and as new in its exercise as their predecessors were six hundred years ago. " Well, from this tyranny the new Ministry have relieved us. The defeat of our virulent enemies, the Tories, took place upon an Irish question. Ireland, which was their crime, was also, by a just retribution, their punishment. The new Ministry is based upon the principle of justice to Ireland ; they owe their official stations to the redress of Irish griev ances ; and we, in return, are bound to give them every as sistance in the management, not only of the internal concerns of Ireland, but the affairs of the empire at large. " That Ireland had been maltreated, misgoverned, tyranised over, and plundered for more than six centuries, was admitted by every body at the disastrous period of the Union. That measure—the Union—was brought forward as the panacea for all our evils. " Well—every body now admits the experiment has failed The evils of Ireland, instead of being mitigated by the Union have been enormously aggravated in consequence of that mea sure. Ireland, after thirty-five years' experience of the Union, is in a more wretched and miserable state than she was at the period it was enacted. " Under such circumstances it was that we, Repealers, pressed the repeal of the Union on the House of Commons. We said, you have misgoverned Ireland—you have proved the futility of every promise and of every expectation held out at the Union. It has totally failed. You have produced mi sery, distress, dissension, poverty, starvation. Allow us, then to govern oureelves by our native Parliament, as you have so signally failed in the administration of our affairs. " We were defeated on our motion by an overwhelming ma. jority. Various arguments were adduced to resist our applica tion. The far greater part of those arguments were fallacious in the extreme. There was one, only, which struck me as cogent. It came, too, from that class of men whom we most desired to conciliate and persuade—honest and true Reformers. It also went to destroy the very foundation on which we placed the Repeal question. " We insisted that the experiment of the Union had totally failed—that it had worked for great evil and for no good. The only rational answer was, the reasoning I have alluded to —namely, that the experiment of the Union had never been fairly tried. It was said, and truly said, that until the year 1829, when Emancipation was extorted, the Union was never complete. Its leading feature, religious equality, was until then, wanting. " It was said, and truly said, that during the Tory rule, from 1829 until the dismissal of the Duke of Wellington, there was no chance of a fair trial' of the Union. " It was added—and there was some truth in the addition— that when the Whigs came into power the agitation of tke Repeal, and the ill-advised manner in which that agitation was sought to be put down, had created a state of things which totally prevented the Union from being fairly tested by ex perience. " It was concluded that, as the Union had not the benefit of a fair experiment, Englishmen could not be expected to vote for its dissolution until a fair trial had been made whether it was practicable to give Ireland the advantages of good go vernment by an united Parliament. " Come, then, my countrymen—hereditary bondsmen :-- come, let us invite the present Ministry to make the experi ment fully, fairly, and with all practical expedition. It can not ,e done all at once. There must be sufficient time given —and we will give it, provided we see the work begun honestly, and fairly begun. " Here am I, for one, fully determined to contribute all I can to the success of this experiment. The Union fairly tried may, as some expect, produce honest and good government, and consequent tranquillity and prosperity in Ireland. If it do so, all that we desire to obtain by the repeal will be realised —a result which I fervently hope for, but cannot bring myself to say I confidently anticipate. If, on the ctther hand, the ex periment fails, why, then, we will demand the repeal' in a voice of thunder, and we shall be joined in that cry by all the rational and honest politicians in Great Britain. Thus, then, either the repeal will be rendered unnecessary—which I can didly own is not my own opinion, though it is that of myriads of men of intelligence and integrity—the repeal will either be rendered unnecessary, or its imperative and inevitable necessity will be demonstrated, and then the repeal will be certain. " The destiny of the present Administration is high and palmy, if they prove worthy of its might and majesty—lreland throws herself into their arms. Scotland, as is her wont, bravely backs them ; and all in England, save the incorrigible bigots and hackniad political plunderers, join in the resolution to support them in the correction of every abuse, and in the constitutional and peaceable amelioration of all our institutions, judicial, civil, military, and political. " Ireland expects a reform in the temporalities of the Esta blished Church. Ireland, above all, demands an immediate and sweeping reform of the rank and grinding abuses of her Corporations—the first, most pressing, and most necessary of all reforms. Let the Ministry begin with this, and we will wait with patience and hope for the development of all other plans of national improvement. But the reform of Corpora tion abuses cannot be postponed or eluded. " The advantages which Ireland is likely to derive from the present Ministry, the advantages which England and Scot land must derive from their continuance in power, is sought to be perverted by a way familiar to the oligarchs and political plunderers of England. For the last three hundred years, whenever a base and selfish party in the country desired to effectuate their own personal purposes, or felt their personal interests in danger, they raised the No-Popery cry. " The Catholics are accused of a design to plunder the Pro testant Church in Ireland. All we desire to do, is to reduce its temporalities to the extent of supplying the spiritual wants of all the Protestants. Mark the absurdity of our assailants ! We concede at once that vested interests shall be respected— we concede at once that religious instruction and assistance shall be afforded to every Protestant in Ireland. All we demand is, that another allocation should be made of the surplus of those temporalities, after supplying all the Pro , testants; and here our assailants exclaim plunder and rob bery ! What ! is a sinecure establishment part of Pro testantism ? Is it necessary for Protestant purposes to pay hundreds of parsons who have no duties to perform in return for that pay? Is it plunder, first to supply all Protestant wants, and then to apply the sniping, and. only the surplus, for purposes of education and morality ? Here is the dilemma in which the English no-Popery men are placed —they must either insist that Protestantism requires sinecure churchmen for its maintenance and protection--and thee they degrade the sanctity of religion into a vulgar and mercenary trade—or they must declare that the application of a surplus ecclesiastical revenue to the purposes of moral and religious education is destructive of Protestanism itself. " It is said that the Catholics desire to obtain for their own Church the temporalities of the Establishment. There never was a more gross calumny. The Catholics not only do not de sire, but they reject and repudiate with scorn any such appro priation—they willingly consent to such an appropriation as should render any application of those funds to the Catholic Church impossible. " People of Ireland, let us show ourselves worthy of the present all-important crisis. Let us forget all by-gone dis sensions and injuries. Let us rally round a Ministry which promises a new era—an era of justice and conciliation—to the Irish people. The new Ministry are placed in a situation of much difficulty, and will want all the aid of all the friends of reform and amelioration. Let Ireland become a portion of their strength and security ; and let them on their part , so deal with Ireland as to be able hereafter to look back with pride to the pacification and prosperity of this country, as the work of their hands, and grateful Ireland will recognise them as the first of its benefactors. ~__ . f TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sh ou ld th e atter be selected to run, the Manchester party will no doubt back their horse (Stock port) freely, on the strength of his ru nn i ng secon d t o th e _ Stag last year, after a very short preparation. Excepting these three, and Stargazer, who ran a dead heat with Burden in the Craven Meet ing, we see nothing in the race likely to have a chance. The I,ooogs. Stakes, judging from public running, is as safe for Mr. Greville, as the 2,000g5. Stakes is for Lord Jersey; his mare (Pre serve) looks and goes well. Guerdon, a clever runner last meet ing, and Hester, are the only opponents she has to fear • but little or nothing is known as to what will start. Bodice is the favourite for the Newmarket Stakes ; she won a race in the Craven Meeting, and is much fancied. Indeed, the stable is in much greater force than usual ; the field for this Stake will be pretty good as to number, if not as to quality. Besides 'these the list contains the average number of Produce Stakes ; in other respects, is not so pro mising as we could have wished.
