ST ENNA COMPANY do hereby give Notice, SLAVERY AND THE SLAVE TRADE. likewise compare the limited demand for slaves now arising from Cuba and Brazil, with the demand which would have existed at this time, if all the colonies of Great Britain, of France, of Holland, and Denmark, together with Brazil and Cuba, had continued to im port without impediment or restraint an unlimited supply of slaves. Therefore, Gentlemen, I see in the present state of things no reason whatever for discontinuing or re laxing our exertions ; but, on the contrary, we have every motive for a strenuous and persevering conti nuance of our efforts. The First Performarce will take place at the St. JAMES'S THEATRE, on WEDNDSDAY, November 2, to commence at Eight o'Clock. In the course of the Series the fallowing works will be inn minced : Rossini's " Stabat Mater," Beethoven's " Mount of Olives," and Spohr's new Oratorio the " Fall of IlAylon" (first time in London), as performed at the last Nor wich Festival, and conducted by Professor Taylor.

That the WARRANTS for the DIVIDENDS on the said STOCK payable on FRIDAY, the 6th January, 1843, under the 11th Section of the Act 3d and 4th Wm. 4th, Cap. 85, will be ready to be delivered on that day. JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary. Much has already been accomplished, and much more may, I trust, be looked for. The Brazilians, the Spaniards, and the Portuguese are the great of eenders, but all these nations are bound by the solemn engagements of treaties to abstain entirely from the slave trade: and if they could be persuaded to act in this matter with good faith, and honestly and punc tually to fulfil their engagements to us, our object, as far as the slave trade is concerned, would in a great measure he accomplished. Now the power and influence of England is great —greater perhaps than many persons in this country are aware of. G OVERNMENT SCHOOL OF DESIGN. SOMERSET-HOUSE, OCT. 26,1842.

The Rates have recently been reduced agreeably to the most approved calculations, and these being verified by the ex perience of the Office during forty years, are as low as consis tent with safety ; thoie adapted to the RETURN SYSTEM entitle its assured to an equitable participation in the surplus premium, according to the plan detailed in the Company's Prospectus. The Assured under both Systems will possess the guarantee of a large Paid-up Capital, and the further security of a re sponsible body of Proprietors, without being exposed to the liablities of partnership. Policies are purchased on liberal terms when the object of au assurance is effected ;—or, loans will be granted thereon to the extent of five-sixths of such purchase-money.

SUPPOSED FELICITY of the POLY NESIANS in a STATE of NATURE. No picture is more deceitful than that which exhi bits the supposed innocence and delights of savage life. 'The child of nature is usually represented as being free from every envy and all the factitious pas sions of civilised existence ; a stranger to covetousness and ambition; happy in the enjoyments of those around him ; content with his present lot, and having no apprehension in regard to the future. Oppressed by no care, burdened by no toil, tormented by no restless desire, seldom visited by sickness, his wants easily satisfied, his pleasures often recurring, the Otaheitan was conceived to pass his days in uninter rupted felicity, under the magnificent sky of the tropics, and amid scenes worthy of paradise. But a closer view disclosed a very different state of things. The lower classes were unmercifully plundered and oppressed by their superiors ; domestic happiness, in its proper sense, was unknown; the females were re duced to the greatest debasement, not being allowed to partake of the same food with their husband and brothers, and not even permitted to dress it at the same fire, or place it in the same basket. It is fur ther asserted, that they were, generally speaking, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful, and that, under the dominion of the worst of propensities, they often acted more like fiends than human beings. " That there should," says Forster, " exist so great a degree of immorality in a nation, otherwise so happy in its simplicity and in the fewness of its wants, is a reflection very disgraceful to human nature in general, which, viewed to its greatest disadvantage here, is nevertheless imperfect." That this immorality did exist is not denied by one of the most ardent admirers of the Polynesians, who to the observation of a phi losopher could add the advantage of a repeated resi• donee among them. 'True it is, that many who have ceased to do evil, after the manner of their uncon verted countrymen, have not yet learned to do well, to the full extent of their Christian obligations. Where sins are gross and shameful, the first step is more easily taken than the second; and hence the missionary finds less opposition when he denounces a flagrant iniquity than when he enjoins a needful virtue or a becoming grace. Those who read with attention the Epistles of St. Paul to his converts, in the most refined parts of the Roman empire, will perceive that, though they had abjured the abominations of heathen ism and the useless ceremonies of the Mosaical law, their conduct did not, in all cases, throw a suitable light on the purer principles which they had openly professed. The fifth and sixth chapters of his first letter to the Corinthians prove but too clearly that the licentiousness of pagan manners did not yield, all at once, to the holy precepts of the Gospel, nor to the instructive example of its self-denied teachers.— Edinburgh Cabinet Library,No. XXXIII.

RE -OPENING of the ROCHDALE CANAL.—We are glad to learn, that in consequence of the rain which has recently fallen, the Rochdale Canal, which, as we announced, had been stopped for want of water, is now re-opened for traffic.—Manchester Paper. In a proclamation of the Emperor of China, called forth a few years since by the troublesome increase of appeals from the provinces, his Celestial Majesty en joined "strict search to be made to discover all law suit-exciting blackguards, and when found to punish them severoly." MY LORD,-It is with unusual satisfaction that the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society (widely as they have differed frOm your Lord ship on some not unimportant questions) feel them selves called upon publicly to record their high sense of the eminent services you have rendei ed to the anti slavery cause, when occupying the distinguished office of Foreign Secretary under the late Government; and to tender to you, in behalf of the great body of aboli tionists they represent, and of the suffering millions of the human race now held in bondage, the tribute of their sincere respect and gratitude. Amidst the exciting conflicts of party, and the la borious engagements of your high office, your Lord ship was not unmindful o f th e wrongs of Africa, nor of the claim which her enslaved children have. on the sympathy and - assistance of this great-country. The recent papers relative to the slave-trade presented to both Houses of Parliament by her Majesty's com mand, are a monument of the great ability, the untir ing industry, and the generous zeal displayed by you in the cause of human freedom and happiness. From those papers, the Committee learn that your Lordship recognised and affirmed the great principle, that no British:functionary of any class, residing in countries where slavery and the slave trade exist, should either hold or hire slaves for any purpose whatever ; and, that, in order to secure the practical operation of this principle, a circular dispatch was addressed by your Lordship to all such functionaries, intimating it to be the wish of her Majesty's Govern ment that they should act in strict accordance with this principle. The issuing of such instructions, and the attitude of British functionaries acting agreeably to them, must exert a powerful moral influence, and operate as a standing testimony, on the part of Great Britain, against the atrocious system of slavery wherever it exists. How necessary those instructions were, and how beneficial they have been in their re sults, may be evinced by an extract from a commu nication addressed to your Lordship by her Majesty's late Consul at Havannah, datedthe Ist of December, 1840 :—" I cannot close this despatch without the re spectful tender of my heartfelt congratulations on the vast amount of good already achieved by the simple expression of the wishes of the Government. In your Lordship's hands the sentiments expressed by the general Anti- slavery Convention have not been barren or unfruitful. At the period of my arrival in this country, a few weeks ago, it is a matter of no toriety that there was not a single officer holding an appointment under the British Crown, and resident in the island, who was entirely free from the charge of countenancing the practice of slavery. A week had not elapsed after the arrival of your Lordship's cir cular dispatch, when a series of advertisements ap peared in the public papers, in the name of one of the Commissioners, offering specific wages to servants of free condition, and at this moment, I rejoice to say, there is not a single British officer residing within my Consular jurisdiction, who either has not relin quished, or is not at least:preparing to relinquish, this odious practice." Nor has your Lordship confined the application of this principle to British functionaries. In another circular to her Majesty's Representatives at foreign Courts, you have instructed them to urge upon the Governments to which they are accredited, its adop-• tion by their agents abroad; and the Committee are gratified to find that this measure has been attended with great success. The combined action of the Powers of Europe, thus brought to bear through the medium of their Representatives; upon the institution of slavery, must have a direct and important influ ence on the Governments which yet sanction it and its fearful adjunct, the slave-trade. Whilst the Corn 'mittee are gratified generally with the terms in which those of her Majesty's Allies who have given in their adhesion to the principle advocated by your Lord ship, have expressed themselves; they are parti cularly so with the views of the Mexican (government, communicated to the British Minister at Mexico, on the 16th August, 1841:—. " You may assure her Majesty's Government, that his Excellency the President of the Republic, before whom I have laid your note, entirely agreeing with their sentiments, and influenced by a full conviction that the unjust and barbarous traffic in slaves is as repugnant to morality as it h scandalous to humanity and civilization, has not contented himself with merely accepting and f o ll ow i ng up by causing instructions si m il ar to those conta i ne d i n the above-mentioned circul ar t o b e a dd resse d t o our extend its effects as far as i s i n hi s agents abroad ; but has a l so th ought i t expe di en t t o power, y invitation,directing that such agents, whenever the occasion presents it self, shall use their advocacy with the Governments and authorities of the country where they reside, with the same zeal in behalf o f th e s l aves as th e y would for their countrymen, in fulfilment of their duty, and in as far as is compatible with the exercise of their functions." The Committee also observed that, your Lordship recognised and affirmed the principle, that British functionaries in slave-holding countries should repre sent the well-known views and feelings of the Go vernment country on the subject o f slavery and ao - d people th e sl o a f v e t_h t r i s a d e In the discussions with the Spanish Government, relative to the removal of the late Consul in Cuba, on the ground of his anti-slavery principles, you not only intimated to the Spanish Minister, " that the doctrines and opinions said to be entertained by Mr. Turnbull are so unani mously shared by the whole British nation, from the highest to the lowest, that it would be scarcely possible for her Majesty's Government to find within the United Kingdom any person who, by his education and attainments, was fitted for the post of Consul at the Havannah, who did not entertain upon the slave-trade and upon slavery the very same opinions which are ascribed to Mr. Turnbull ;" hut, referring to Mr. Turnbull's work on the Spanish colonies, against which the Spanish Government had taken exception, you said :—" So far was her Majesty's Government from thinking that those opinions do render Mr. Turnbull unfit for the situations of Consul and Superintendent of liberated Africans in Cuba, that it was precisely the book he wrote, and the well-known sincerity and earnestness of his opinions, that pointed him out to her Majesty's Government as a fit person to hold those appoint ments." But your Lordship was not content with these intimations of the motives which influenced the Government in the appointment of that gentleman. You further stated, that "if the exequatur were to be withdrawn from Mr. Turnbull as Consul, he would nevertheless continue to hold his commission as Super intendent of liberated Africans, an office which is not subject to any instrument of confirmation by the Spa nish Crown, and even if Mr. Turnbull were to be withdrawn from Cuba in both capacities, it would be the duty of her Majesty's Government to select as his successor some other person holding the same opi nions, and animated as nearly as possible with the same zeal and activity in the performance of his duties ; so that nothing would be gained for the Cuba slave-traders by the removal of Mr. Turnbull." Your Lordship thus identified the anti-slavery cause with the policy of the Government, and showed to the world that a British statesman is as tenacious of the dignity and honour of his country where the general interests of humanity and freedom are concerned, as he is jealous of them in its own peculiar relations with foreign States. The Committee further perceive, that previously to quitting office you not only took a deep interest in the freedom of the emancipados in Cuba, but adopted a plan for securing to these unhappy persons the rights secured to them by the Spanish laws, and by the slave-trade treaties under which they had been libe rated from bondage, but (as is well known) only to be enslaved to gratify the cupidity of the Spanish authorities, and to demonstrate (if additional proof were necessary) the bad faith of the Spanish Govern ment. Recognising the right of these deeply injured people to the protection of the British Government, you instructed her Majesty's Minister at Madrid thus to address the Spanish Cabinet :--" You will in con clusion state, that the British Government demand as a right from the Spanish Government, the immediate freedom of all the negroes who have been emancipated in Cuba by sentence of the Mixed Commission, since the treaty of 1817, but who appear hitherto to have been retained in practical slavery by the authorities of Cuba in direct violation of engagements with the British Crown." Your Lordship added : " Her Majesty's Government cannot allow themselves to believe that, when the Cabinet of Madrid 'shall see, a 5 is proposed by this correspondence, that the treaty with Great Britain has in this matter been set at nought ; that the faith of the Spanish Crown has been broken ; that its engagements have been de liberately and systematically, and daring a long course of time, violated ; and that this has been done for the illegal profit of those public officers whose duty it was to have carried the treaty into execution : Inr Majesty's Government cannot V doubt that, when the Cabinet of Madrid shall see all this, it will hasten to redeem the honour of the Spanish Crown by imme diately putting an end to these monstrous abuses. As it is evident," you further observe, " that these eman cipated negroes cannot hope for security from oppres sion, so long as they remain in Cuba, her Majesty's Government therefore demand that they shall be brought before the Mixed Commission, according to the lists deposited in the archives of the Commission, and that they shall then, if they wish it, be handed over to the Superintendent of liberated Africans, to be by him sent to a British colony, where they would by law as well as by treaty be free." Thus did your Lordship, the Committee trust, lay the foundation for securing the future liberty and prosperity of a class of Africans, whose hard fate has long excited the com miseration of the abolitionists of this country. But, my Lord, eminent as are the services you ren dered to the sacred cause of freedom in the particulars to which reference has been made, it is chiefly to the course which you pursued in relation to the multi tudes of wretched Africans who have been illicitly in troduced into Brazil - and the Spanish colonies, con trary to the municipal laws of these countries, and the faith of treaties with the British Government, that the Committee now refer. That course is worthy of the country to which we belong, and is sanctioned alike by the principles of justice, humanity, and re ligion, the laws and institutions of Spain and Brazil, and the solemn obligations of treaties. Your Lord ship demanded in the name of the British Govern ment and nation, the liberation from slavery of all Africans who have been unlawfully introduced into the Spaniah colonies, in contravention both of law and treaty ; and instructed the British Minister at Madrid, to negotiate a treaty for the constitution of a proper tribunal for carrying the requisition into effect. It is sufficient to refer to the draft of the treaty to show that it is as comprehensive in detail, as it is just in principle. What its ultimate effect may be will greatly depend on the firmness of your Lordship's successor in office, who, they trust, animated by the same spirit, will complete the great work which you have so nobly begun. Re ferring to the steps you were reported to have taken, the Commissioners at Havannah, in a dispatch, dated 15th September 1841, thus announce the effect pro duced by thtm :—" A very considerable excitement has prevailed here during the past month, in conse quence of information received that your Lordship had demanded of the Spanish Government the liberation of all slaves introduced into the island since the year 1820. So righteous a measure must be hailed with the utmost gratification by all who wish the happiness of the human race, and would go far to efface slavery itself from this country. The proposition has roused every individual here to a sense of the evil conse quences attending the further prosecution of the trade, and, if it has no other effect than that of stopping those continued malpractices, we should receive it with the utmost satisfaction." _ . .. . Nor is this all. Anxious to extend the blessings of freedom in whatever countries the Government of England may be supposed to possess influence, you instructed her Majesty's representatives at the Persian and Ottoman Courts to exert themselves to secure this great end. In your communication to the British Minister in Persia, you say : " You will accordingly take an early opportunity of expressing to the Shah of Persia the strong desire which is felt in this matter by her Majesty's Government, and you will represent to him that he would he doing a thing ex tremely acceptable to the British Govern ment and nation, if he would issue a decree, pro hibiting the future importation of slaves of any kind into Persia, and making it penal for a Persian to pur chase slaves." These instructions, my Lord, whilst they do you honour and cannot fail to be acceptable to all classes of your countrymen, are in perfect accord ance with the Mussulman law; and, if followed up with " steady perseverance, and by never omitting to take advantage of favourable opportunities to press upon Mohammedan rulers the wishes of the British Government on these points," as your. Lordship so strongly recommends, cannot fail, under the Divine blessing, of being ultimately successful in securing liberty to the slave population of the East. In what your Lordship has thus done to pro mote that great cause to which the Committee are de voted, they find the justification of the step they have now taken, in respectfully presenting to you their cordial thanks for the great principles you have enunciated, and the course you have pursued in your official intercourse with foreign States ; and they ex press their earnest hope that, whether in or out of office, your Lordship's great abilities and influence will continue to be exerted in the overthrow of sla very, the establishment of freedom, and the promotion of the civilization and happiness of every portion of mankind. On behalf of the Committee, (Signed) JOHN SCOBLE, Secretary. 27, New Broad•street, Sept. 30, 1842. LORD PALMERSTON ' S REPLY. GENTLEMEN,-1 feel highly gratified and flattered by the address which you have done me the honour to present to me ; and this proof of your good opinion is the more valuable to me, because it comes at a time when I have ceased to have any official power to as sist you in the attainment of those great ends, which form the object of the Association of which you are the organ. You do me but justice in believing, that I take the deepest interest in everything that can tend finally to extinguish the slave-trade, and to abolish all over the world, the condition of slavery. The official situation which I lately filled, and which I held for ten years, gave me great means for labouring to promote the abolition of the slave-trade. I employed those means to the best of my ability ; and although during the whole of the period that I was Secretary of State, I was engaged in conjunction with foreign Governments in political transactions of great moment, requiring intense application, and the most assiduous devotion of time and attention ; yet 1 never lost sight of those important matters which you have so much at heart. I am afraid that it is impossible to hope that the slave-trade can be entirely, or at least permanently abolished, until the condition of slavery shall itself have ceased to exist, because so long as slavery anywhere prevails, there will be a great temptation held out to unprincipled men to carry on that criminal traffic. But, nevertheless, if all the Governments of Christen dom would sincerely combine to hinder their own subjects and citizens from carrying on the slave-trade, and would also agree to an interchange of assistance to prevent their respective laws against slave-trade ex s b , y that land, ra and de an active from being violated, I verily believe , the slave - trade might be reduced to an amount infinitely small as compared with its present extent ; and that so long as due i m lanc n e t was i aned on executed te d ea a l m ost entirely suppressed... policewasvg maintained It was, therefore, an object of unceasing solici tude on the part of the Government to which I had the honour to belong, to multiply, as much as possi ble, treaties with foreign States, for the concession of a mutual right of search for the suppression of the slave-trade ; and we had the great satisfaction of being able to conclude a considerable number of fresh treaties of that kind ; and to introduce into those trea ties such amended stipulations as experience had shown to be essential for the attainment of their object. It is no doubt true, as has been asserted by some, that the very measures which have been adopted for the suppression of the slave-trade, have aggravated the sufferings of those negroes, who, in spite of all our endeavours, have been annually carried off from the coast of Africa ; because our measures have driven the slave-traders to resort to all those contrivances for dispatch and concealment, which necessarily belong to an illicit trade, and those contrivances inevitably increase the misery of those wretched Africans who are the victims of them. But this circumstance, So far from being a reason for relaxing our efforts, ought rather to Stimulate us to increase them, because if we could altogether prevent the trade, these sufferings would altogether cease with it. Now, there can be no doubt that the measures which Great Britain has for many years past taken for the abolition of her own slave-trade, and for the extirpation of the slave-tr ide of other nations, have greatly narrowed the extent to which the slave-trade would otherwise have been carried. It is possible, as some persons have thought, that the number of negroes now annually carried across the Atlantic, may be clual to the number that were so carried at the time when Great Britain first took this, great matter in hand; but to judge of the effect of our preventive efforts, we must compare the num ber of slaves now clandestinely carried over, in spite of all the vigilarce and efforts 'of our cruizers, with the number that would be so carried if no obstruc tion were offered to the trade, and if, on the contrary, it were a remitted trade end free.

It that power and influence are steadily and vigor ously exerted by the Executive Government, as I am sure that in this matter they will be ; and if the Executive Government is well backed up and sup ported by public opinion and national feeling, of which in this case there can be no doubt, I am con vinced that the unanimous determination of the British Government and British nation to obtain from Foreign Powers a faithful and complete execution of the en gage►nents which those Powers have entered into with Great Britain for the suppression of the slave trade will in the end be crowned with success. But for this purpose we must be firm and decided; we must not mind if we give offence to the guilty parties whose crimes we are endeavouring to punish or prevent ; and we must not be stopped by clamour raised against us by those who are interested in the perpetration of those enormities which we are striving to put down.

This day the usual weekly meeting was held at the Corn Exchange, Mr. Hamilton in the chair. The LORD - STATOR moved the suspension of the standing orders, to enable him to make a motion, of which due notice had not been given. —Passed. his motion was, "That a petition be presented to Par liament, praying for the removal of the present Poor law Commissioners, and for the appointment of men in their place free from the taint of bigotry." He mentioned the case of a woman named Martha M‘lieon, who went into the poor-house a Pro testant, and soon after became a Catholic. She was appointed by the ',schoolmistress to as sist in keeping the children m order. When this was found out by the Protestant clergyman, he ordered the woman to be dismissed from her little em- ' ployment. The Catholic clergyman said she should not, without the authority of the Board of Guardians. The Board decided that M‘lieon should not be dis missed, whereupon the Poor-lazy Commissioners wrote an "impudent" letter to the Board, ordering them to remove the woman, and which contained a censure on the Catholic clergyman for his interference. The fact is, that it was the Protestant clergyman who ex ercised undue interference, and it was a strong proof of the bigotry of the Poor-law Commissioners, for which they should be removed.—(Hear, hear.) The Lord Mayor mentioned several other causes of complaint against the Poor-law Commissioners. Dr. GREY also spoke in condemnation of the Poor law Commissioners, and seconded the adoption of the petition for their removal, which passed with accla mation. After the admission of several members, The LORD MAYOR rose to address the meeting on the present position of public affairs. He said that, whenever England was strong, and in a state of pros perity, she invariably oppressed Ireland. If, on the occasion of the late outbreak in the manufacturing dis tricts there were 4,000,000 of Repealers enrolled in Ireland, would the demand for a repeal of a grievous Act of Parliament be refused ? If 4,000,000 Re pealers were to demand this act of justice, would they not stand a chance of being treated like the Canadas ? There the people turned out in open rebellion, and prices were set upon the heads of their leaders—while here no breach of the laws took place. One of the Cana dian rebels, for whose head .500/. were offered, had just been appointed to the office of Attorney-General. He was glad of this, because it was the proper reward of the Canadians for their fidelity towards each other, and their genuine patriotism. He wanted no violence—no breach of the laws—but he wanted a powerful combination of the . people to be ready, with a loud voice, to demand justice as• the price of their assistance to relieve Eng land from her troubles. It was a remarkable fact, that when nations were on the point of Jl:fling to decay, their leading men did desperate and mad acts, which facilitated the catastrophe they would avert. It so happened previous to the downfal of Rome and of six hostile ark e t tariffs r a i ff n s d l a s d t e a been ad f op e d by a gfewas ods from d of Greece. When the Turks were battering down the walls of Constantinople, the Greeks were cutting their own throats about some points on theology. Was not the English Ministry mad?—(H ear , h ear. ) Within manymonths, their m great kingdoms f or th e exc l us i on o giving blow for blow, what did Peel d o ? Wh y, ' in stead of retaliating by excludi ng th e i r pro d uce, he Britishgoods threw open the English m ar k e t le only one left to the English manufacturers. The result of his measures was, that insolvency was spread over the land. Lord Ashburton had truckled to America, and Lord Aberdeen had truckled to France. From this aspect of affairs there was no doubt that England would want the cordial support of the Irish, and she should have it, but she should give the bribe of repeal. Peel, however, apprehended the late outbreak in England, and he thought he was very clever by the issue of his proclamation calling in the light gold. Much of it I did find its way to the coffers of the Bank, but the effect of withdrawing it from circulation added to the poverty which previously existed. Peel was called the " farmers' friend." Why, there was no interest in the United Kingdom suffering more than the agri cultural, as was proved by the depression of all kinds of stock, still further to be depreciated by the impor tation of stock from the very countries that lately de cided upon excluding the produce of the British ma nufacturer. He concluded his speech by declaring that he saw no prospect of England being relieved from her embarrassments unless a gold or diamond mine be discovered and left at her mercy.

(From the Freeman's Journal.) The coarseness of those who make a trade of as sailing the Liberator of his eountrymen having :been adopted by an English Nobleman—a Catholic, too, Lord Shrewsbury—Mr. O'Connell, •in his admirable and unanswerable reply to the abuse of that Noble Lord, has the following beautiful, just, and appro priate passage in reference to the compensation which Ireland annually pays her champion for his unex ampled services : I will not consent that my claim to the rent' should be misunderstood.. That claim may be re jected; but it is understood in Ireland; and it shall not be misstated anywhere without refutation. "My claim is this. For more than twenty years before Emancipation, the burden of the cause was thrown upon me. I had to arrange the meetings— prepare the resolutions—to furnish replies to the cor respondence --to examine the case of each person complaining of practical grievances —to rouse the torpid—to animate the lukewarm—to control the violent and inflammatory—to avoid the shoals and breakers of the law—to guard against multiplied treachery— and at all times to oppose, at every peril, the powerful and multitudinous enemies to the cause. "To descend to particulars. At a period when my minutes counted by the guinea; when my emolu ments were limited only by the extent of my physical and,waking powers ; when my meals were shortened to the narrowest space, and my sleep restricted to the earliest hours before dawn ; at that period, and for more than twenty years, there was no day that I did not devote from one to two hours, often much more, to the working out of the Catholic cause. A n d t h at without receiving or allowing the offer of any remu neration, even for the perrsonal expenditure incurred in the agitation of the cause itself. For four years I bore the entire expenses of the Catholic agitation without receiving the contributions of others to a greater amount than 741. in the whole. Who sh a ll repay me for the years of my buoyant youth and cheerful manhood? V Who shall repay me for the lost opportunities of acquiring professional celebrity, or the wealth which such distinctions 'would ensure? " Other honours I could..net then enjoy. "Emancipation came., You. admit that it was I who brought it about. The vear before. emancipa tion,• though wearing a 'stuff gown, and belonging to the outer bar, my professional emoluments ex ceeded B,oool.—an amount never before realised in Ireland, in the same space oftime,hyan outerbarrister. " Had I adhered to my profession, I must soon have .been called Within the bar, and obtained the prece dency of a silk gown. • The severity of my labour would have been at once much mitigated, whilst the emoluments would have been considerably increased. I could have - done a much greater variety of business with less toil, and my professional income must have been necessarily augmented by probably one half. " if I had abandoned politics, even the honours of my profession and its highest stations lay fairly be fore me. " But I dreamed a day-dream—was it a dream that Ireland still wanted me; that although the Ca tholic aristocracy and gentry of Ireland had obtained most valuable advantages from emancipation, yet the benefits of good government had not reached the great mass of the Irish people, and could not reach them, unless the :Union should be either made a reality, or unless that hideous measure should be abrogated. " I did not hesitate as to my course. My former success gave me personal advantages which no other man could easily procure. I flung away the profes sion—l gave its emoluments to the winds—l closed the vista of its honours and dignities—l embraced the cause of my country; and—come weal or come woe —I have made a choice at which I have never repined —nor ever shall repent. " An event occurred which I could not have fore seen. Once more high professional promotion was placed within my reach. The office of Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer became vacant. I was offered it. Or, had I preferred the office of the Mas ter of the Rolls, the alternative was proposed to me. It was a tempting offer. Its value was enhanced by the manner in which it was made, and pre-eminently so by the person through whom it was made--the best Englishman that Ireland ever saw—the Marquis of Norma nby. " But I dreamed ag ain a day dr eam — was it a dream ?—and I refuse d offer. And here am Inow taunted, even by you, with mean and sordid motives. " I do not think I am guilty of the least vanity, when I assert that no man ever made greater sacrifices to what he deemed the cause of his country than I have done. I care not how I may be ridiculed or maligned. I feel the proud consciousness that no public man has made more, greater, or more ready sacrifices. " Still there lingers behind one source of vexation and sorrow ; one evil, perhaps, greater than all the rest; one claim, I believe, higher than any other, upon the gratitude of my countrymen. It consists in the bitter, the virulent, the mercenary, and therefore the more envenomed' hostility towards me, which my .love for Ireland and for liberty has provoked. What taunts, what reproaches, what calumnies have I not sustained ?—what modes of abuse ?—what vitupera tion, what slander have been exhausted against me ? what vials of bitterness have been poured upon my head,?—what coarseness of language bus not been used, abused, and worn out in -assailing me ?—what derogatory appellation hai been spared ?—what trea sures of malevolence have been expended ?—what follies have not been imputed ?—in fact, what crimes have I not been charged with? "I dO not believe that I ever had in private life an enemy. I know that I had and have many, very many, warm, cordial, affectionate, attached - friererbi. Yet here I stand, beyond controversy the most and the best abused man in the universal world! And, to cap the climax of calumny, • you come with a lath at your side instead of the sword of a Talbot, and you throw Peel's scurrility along with your own into my cup of bitterness. "All this have I done and suffered for Ireland. And let her be grateful or ungrateful—solvent or insolvent—he who insults me for taking her pay wants the vulgar elements of morality which teach that the labourer is worthy of his hire; he wants the higher sensations of the soul, which enable one to per ceive that there are services which bear no comparison with money, And can never be recompensed by pecu niary rewards, " Yes : I am—l say it proudly—l am the hired servant of Ireland and I glory in my servitude." The Chancellor of the Exchequer had a long inter view this morning with Sir James Graham at the Home-office.
