SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Mr. O'Connell has addressed a third letter to Lord Duncannon on the " follies, faults, and crimes" of the Whigs. Being unable to insert the whole of it, we have copied the principal passages. Mr. O'Connell says, that the "grossest partiality has been exhibited by the Whigs in the selection for all offices, employments, and stations, from the highest to the lowest, of the Orange enemies of Ireland, and the inveterate and irre concileable foes of Lord Grey's politics and govern ment." In another column will be found an article headed " Irish Administration," an extract of a letter from a well-informed Roman Chatholic gentleman in the North of Ireland, in which Mr. O'Connell's epistle s ably and judiciously commented on. This gentleman truly observes, that though Mr. O'Connell both exag gerates and sophisticates, yet in the strictures on many of the appointments made by the Whig Government in Ireland he speaks the sentiments of more than the Ca tholic community in denouncing some of them. No excuse, he says, can be furnished for the selection of such men as Lord Lorton, Lord Wicklow, and some others, as depositaries of Whig confidence. What Mr. O'Connell says respecting the Magistracy, if ap plied to the administration of the Marquis of Wellesley and Mr. Littleton, is extremely unjust ; and his esti mate of the number of Roman Catholics in the police is incorrect. No doubt, as this gentleman observes, the Government has a long lee-way to make up, to do justice to the Catholic body as regards the enjoyment of patronage. Mr. O'Connell, speaking of the Orangemen, says, " With that party there must, my Lord, be no compromise—they must be deprived of every hope of favcur or countenance from the autho- - rities." But what is the fact with regard to the Orangemen ? The Dublin Morning Register of Thursday last informs us that of twenty-five sig natures to a requisition for an Orange meeting in the county of Cavan on Monday next (this day), no fewer than thirteen, i. e. more than one-half the number, are individuals holding the Commis sion of the Peace. The nature of the meeting may be inferred from a letter to the Orangemen of Cavan, published previous to the appearance of the requisition, by the 11 ev. Marcus Beresford. In this letter the Rev. Gentleman stated " it to be, the in tention of their stedfast and warmest friends to call on the High Sheriff to convene a meeting of the Protes tants of this county on an early day. It is expected (continues the Rev. Marcus) that from 20,000 to 30,000 loyal men will then be assembled in Cavan, and we purpose taking such steps for the preservation of our property, religion, and lives, as may then seem best. The Government of this country is not friendly to Protestants, and we may be assured we will be watched, and our meetings, if possible, dispersed. There will be horse, foot, and police assembled in Cavan, and if we in any way transgress the law, we shall be put down." . . • • • "Do not in any way transgress the law ; it may be cruel, but you must submit. Come, every man "amongst you, to this meeting, that is of age to think for himself. Leave nothing but women And children at home. Let us show the Government that we have in this county a body of forty thousand men, as brave as ever walked on grass, determined to uphold the Protestant religion as long as a drop 9f blood is in their veins." The requisition, following upon the address, indicates the adoption of the senti ments contained in the latter. But there is surely a wide difference between the fair exercise-of the consti tutional right of meeting to petition, and inviting . men to assemble in large masses, in order to intimidate the Government. " Will these magistrates be dismissed (asks the Morning Register) 2 Clearly it is the imperative duty of the Government to vindicate its authority by causing them to be struck off the roll forthwith. Since the famous declaration of the forty seven justices, Cavan magistrates have been celebrated, for the perfect impunity with which they defy the' King's Government." —Morning Chronicle. There can now be no wonder that the different Mo narchs recently holding the soverignty of Spain should have shown so determined a reluctance to the as-• sembling of the Cortes; and we may form a tolerably safe conjecture that had the Crown of Ferdinand de scended as a matter of course upon his brother Carlos,. the advent of Spanish freedom would have been still postponed or warded off. Why all, or nearly all, the Continental Monarchs of Europe should be the sworn foes of constitutional freedom it is difficult to imagine. But that such has been the case in our own time, from the first dawn of the Holy Alliance down to the very yesterday of the Constitutional King of the Barri cades, there can be no doubt. Happily these islands exhibit a far different spectacle. It is but bare jus tice to William the Fourth to declare that, short as his reign has been, it has been marked by no struggles for arbitrary power in the Sovereign ; but that he has, on the contrary, been the foremost, by in clination, perseverance, and courage, to ensure to his people the greatest extension of political rights that any people ever acquired without revolution, or even contest. That the disputed succession in Spain will be of great advantage so that country there can, we imagine, be now but little doubt ; that is, if the germs of freedom, already apparent in the first proceedings of the Cortes, are not nippid in the bud by the untoward intervention of external causes. This will very much depend upon the prudence and firmness exhibited by the present Representative Assembly of the Spanish nation. Hi therto the steps which they have taken are so wholly unexceptionable, that, though the enemies of public freedom await but the most shallow pretence to check its first advances, they will find it difficult indeed to breathe anything in the shape of dissent against prin - - siples so wise and reasonable as the Declaration of - ,Rights put forth by the Cortes. That declaration will meet with the warmest sympathy from the people of this country, the majority of whom had little or no ex pectation of any such immediate result from the assem bling of the Cortes, but who looked upon the people of Spain as involved in a long age of darkness, which the influence of priestcraft had rendered impenetrable. The contrary, however, happily and unexpectedly, ap pears to be the case, and the people of Spain may look with confidence to Great Britain, not only for sym pathy and protection, but as forming an insuperable barrier against any attempts which may be elsewhere made to check the rising spirit of freedom. The time is gone by when any administration in this country would dare to join in a crusade in favour of despotism in other countries. Though the Holy Alliance may have its friends and admirers among a certain class of our public men, wishes are all which they have left to bestow. The arm of national strength would fall life less and inert if attempted to be raised in such a cause, and would shrink from the contaminating touch of any claim to its support in such a cause. Even in Spain itself, however, freedom is but in its dawn and infancy. Its success must mainly depend upon the wisdom of those to whose hands the safety of its birth and growth is confided. Judging from the votes of the Spanish Ministers, we might augur that, with the Queen- Regent, freedom is no more in favour than it evidently was with her deceased husband. She, however, is the creature of circumstances, and to these her own dispo sition must bend, if she expects to establish the claims of her daughter to the throne upon a safe and lasting basis.—Morning Herald. That an organiz e d con • spnacy exists, and has long • existed, in Ireland, the great objects of which are the overthrow of the Protestant. Establishment, and the extirpation of the Protestant proprietary, we have long believed ; and in the columns of this journal we have often and anxiously stated the reasons of the faith that is in us. The diversified aspects which this con federacy has assumed, and the v ar i ous and arbitrary denominations by which it has been distinguished, must not be supposed to indicate any corresponding mutability in the views of the conspirators,• or in the I. object of the conspiracy. The changes we have al luded to were of a local and temporary nature, and evinced but the elastic energy of the instrument, not any weakness or wavering in the hand - that guided it. A vigorous and uncompromising policy, originating in necessity, built on prudence and on principle, long suc ceeded in repressing or in subduing the simultaneous ;manifestations of that anti-Protestant and anti-English feeling among the Roman Catholic population of Ire / 'l an d, which so me ti mes seemed to slumber, b ut - w hi c h t` * never really slept. Reasoning analogically from , he past to the future, it may fairly be presumed, it . , t~` i :. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1834. may indeed be inferred with all but moralcertainty, that had the political pressure of the royal 'Anal Jaws been continued twenty years longer not twenty indivi duals possessing 5001. a year in landed property would have continued to profess the Romish superstition in Ireland. Humanity would have been spied the horrors which have since devastated that unhappy country, and England the humiliation of feeling , that the 'tenure by which she holds the (so called . ) Sister Island is neither more popular nor more secure under William the Fourth than it was under Henry-the Se cond.' Ireland presents a singular and a sad anomaly in the history of nations—she is at once the pride and' the shame, the strength and the weakness, -of the British Crown. During the centuries that beautiful and distracted country has formed an appendage to the Crown of England she has never enjoyed either the quietude of subjection or the tranquillity of peace for half a century at a time. Conspiracies and insurrections have defaced the fairest portions of her soil, and distracted while they degraded her ardent and misguided 'sons. The wisdom. of that policy which has made Ireland what she is may well be (I4ubted ; but it seems evident that what she is she canna long continue to be. A crisis has, arrived, or is rapidly approaching, when the question must be definitively, must be practically, decided:—ls the Pro testant population of Ireland, are those who have for centuries upheld the laws, the religion, and the in terests of 'England in that land of darkness and of strife, to be abandoned to the tender mercies of an ambitious and unsparing priesthood, of an ignorant, fanatical, and sanguinary peasantry, directed by a ve nal and aspiring adventurer? Is Ireland to remain an integral portion of the British empire, or is she, after passing a few years in the convulsions of a civil and social war, to become a republic under the temporal protectorship of France, and the spiritnal guidance of his 'loliness the Pope? "To this complexion. she must come at last," or that dangerous, and 'des- . picable system of treachery to friendS"' and con cession to enemies, which has alienated the one with outs reclaiming the other, must be abandoned ; the turbulent and treasonable dictatorship of, Mr. O'Con nell effectually abolished, the authority of the law-re established, the ascendancy of Protestantism and loypity to the Crown vindicated, and, in one word, the' sovereignty of England asserted in deed as Well' as name. That these objects will be obtained-without a struggle is perhaps more to be hoped than expected ; but let us recollect that the end in view" is the preser. , vation of the Protestant religion and of the integrity of the empire ; for, should Mr. O'Connell and his con federates in this country succeed in rendering Popery the established religion in Ireland, it requires not the' spirit of divination to foretel that Ireland will cease to belong to the Crown of Great Britain,. and Great Nitain to be numbered among the great. Powers. of Europe.—Morning Post. It is not our intention in this article again 'to point the attention of our readers to the admirable speeches of the late Premier and of the Lord Chancellor at the great northern " gathering" on. Monday last, but simply to call it to those ,of ,Lord Durham, of Mr. Ellice, and of Sir John Cam Hob house, from which the enemies of the Government, - . and more particularly those of Lord Brougham, are endeavouring to extract so many grains of anirnosity, causes of division, and even of hope to themselves. The speech of Lord Durham was animated,' straight-for ward, pointed, and energetic. It spoke the mind' of its author, and the principles which he professes, and the rules of policy by which he would wish to see the crovernment of the country guided in all their entirety. These principles have long had our support, as they, have enjoyed our approbation,..and we need scareely, add that there is no truly liberal independent,. and 'pa triotic mind which would not echo back' its sym pathy with the policy recommended by his Lordship-; but it so happened that a portion of the,Noble Loid's speech formed a sort of reply to a smalffractiou of that of the Lord Chancellor, and hence the great joy .of the Tories—hence the cheering of the enemies. of the- Chancellor—hence the cry that thOre is d divi sion in the liberal camp I Vain hope L most ridiculous and unreflecting joy I What if there were a difference of opinion in the liberal camp to=morrow, would that advantage either the ene mies of the Chancellor particularly, or the op ponents of the Government ? Would the Tories be p. whit more near the possession of power ? Would they be more in favour with the people or with' the Sove reign ? Would not, in fact, all the benefit which would result to them from it be the malignant joy of an empty and fruitless revenge ? Their days of office and of power are gone bye without the possibility 'of recall, though their hopes of it may not yet appear to them to be in the sear and yellow leaf, which no breath of spring can revive. Their bark lies stranded upon a shore which no returning tide can bear back apron its bosom into the ocean of popular favour—its hull damaged, its rigging gone—its fastenings unloosened —its deck broken up—its principal spars scattered and torn to pieces beyond the possibility of 'being collected and repaired. He would be.a.bold seaman who would venture upon • any ocean, , however free from current, from high tides and unfriendly `gales, with such a frail vessel, equally incapable of being piloted to any given harbour as of resistance to the slightest obstacle ; but he would be a madman who would launch it into waters which are up-heav ing from their foundation—into currents as powerful as adverse—into latitudes where gales are blow ing with terrific fury—and hope .that it would live for even one second in the midst.of them. Yet such is but a faint picture of the situation and hopes ; of Toryism—of their unfitness for office in times like the present, and of the dangers which would prove fatal to their possession of it, however -brief. But what if there were a difference of foF!iiiion be tween Lords Brougham and Durham ? Is it the first time that two honest, independent, and enlightened men have differed in opinion ; or can ,the difference, if it exist, seeing that Lord Durham is not of the Cabinet, have the smallest influence upon the'- stability of the Government, or the future prospects of the country ? We respect Lord Durham as much as he can possibly be respected by any one—we agree mainly in all the political principles professed by him, .and have always admired the bold and uncompromising : manner inmrhich he has invariably given expression tii• theit - Oiut in the instance referred to, we are frank'tb 61 - Ass, that while we can see no real difference ofrn - pinion between his Lordship and the Lord Chancellor, so also are we inclined to think that he snatched at axauntlet which had never been thrown down to him, :and fitted a cap to his own head which was neither' made for nor meant to fit it. What were the LOrd Chancellor's words ? " I entirely agree," said he, " in all those wise and states manlike principles which havwbeen so imffessively,,soelearly, and so convincingly expounded to you by , :tny noble friend (Lord Grey). Let the Government of the country, strong in the support both of the Crown and the • people, proceed steadily, firmly, unflinchingly, to discharge its duty, by pro moting the progress of liberal opinions ; but let them not be hurried either out of their course to the right or to the left, or onward in their course faster or farther than sound reflection, calm deliberation, and statesmanlike prudence: enables them to go. Some men, I know—nay, a great -number--4"have no doubt honest, conscientious men —men, generally speaking, of sound opinions, but somewhat unreflecting, and who think that execution and action arc everything, and that all the time that is spent in deliberation and in preparing is time thrown away. * * * Gentleman, we shall go on, heedless of the attacks of those hasty spirits., They are men of great honesty, of much ability, but, unfortunately, of no re- . flection at all. They would travel towards their object, but they are in such a hurry to get there some'three monthi earlier, than I should arrive, that they will not wait to Put the linch pins into the wheels. They would bear' firth on a great voyage of discovery, into untried regions, but they cannot think of waiting to look whether there is a compass on board ;' and when they see the port in view, they will not wait five minutes to go round it, but run the vessel right •a -head, and strike upon the breakers. They build a house, they constrult an edifice—a large, a huge, a massive pile; but all they carefor is the outside • they regard only the l oo k an d a pp earance o f the thing, and will not take the trouble of waiting to' see whe there are any partitions for rooms, to make it useful and habitable ; nay, they will not even wage time to' use the plummet and the line, and so the odds are that the walls tumble about their ears. I sincerely respect their good inten tions ;" I acquit them of all blame on that - score ; but when they ask me to proceed forward with them, I make them my most respectful obeisance, and politely beg to decline. When they are entering their carriage I do not think it convenient to accompany them ; when they go aboard their vessel, I choose rather to abide on shore ; and as to taking any share in their building, I not only will not do so, but Pstand at a respectful distance from it, for fear it should make an experiment which I wish to see tried neither on their heads nor on my own—l mean an experiment as to the relative resistance of the two bodies. Gentlemen, in plain terms, these are no safe guides —these are not just judges—these are no fair critics of the measures of any British minister. I will therefore go on ra tionally ; I will .take care to have my vessel in order ; I will take care to have my carriage-road worthy, and my ship sea worthy. I will use the plummet, and I will use the square; I will build according to rule ; and I will not begin to run up 'a:building which never can be better than a shell, even if it do hot tumble about my head. I will go safely and surely to ,work, until I can build that house with credit to myself, and with advantage to others." Here indeed was a powerful philippic against those -wlth, in their eagerness to uproot abuses, and to in troduce improvements, would forget that there. was such a thing as propelling the state machine with a rapidity which would derange its movements, or per haps ,even'set it on fire ; but no reflection upon their principles—no dissent from their opinions—no expres sion of unwillingness to reach the same goal ;—only a simple craving of that time, first, for deliberation, and, secondly, for action, which is necessary to enable the Government to attain the end in view with certainty, with safety, and with permanent benefit to the country. And what does Lord Durham say? " My Noble and Learned Friend, the Lord Chancellor," said he, " has been pleased to give some very sound advice to certain classes of persons, of whom, however, I confess I liow.nothing—persons whom he considers to evince too much impatience.,and too great a desire for the progress of change. I will fairly-own to you that I am one of those who see with the utmost regret every hour that passes over the existence of recognized but unreformed abuses. I am, however, gentle men—and I have no doubt you will agree with me—l am per fectly willing to accept their correction as deliberately as our rulers may think fit, but then it must be on one condition ; it is, that every measure, if it is intended to be one of correction, shallibe proposed in conformity with those pr inciples for which we have ever contended ; for, gentlemen, I object to the com promise of opinions. Ido not object to the deliberation with which they are to be formed, but I object to any compromise of them. I object to the chipping, and the paring, and the Mutilating, which must inevitably follow an attempt to conciliate enemies who are not to be gained—who requite your advances by pointing out your inconsistencies, your abandonment of your friends and your principles, and then ascribe the discon tent 'created in our own ranks by these preceedings to liberal feelings being no longer predominant in the country, and its re turn to Toryism. Against siich a course of policy, gentlemen, I ever must protest, as pregnant with the worst consequences, as exciting distrust and discontent where enthusiastic devotion isnecessary; on the other hand, as creating vain and delusive 'hopes, which never can be realized ; and, above all, as placing • "teapots in the hands of those who will only use them to their own destruction, and that of the great and good interests com mitted to their charge. With this qualification, therefore, gen tlemen—with this frank and free exposition of my sentiments, which I have never concealed in any position in which I may ' halve been, perhaps unworthily, placed—l never have cencealed th-ein,.and I never will ; I say, with this qualification, I am ready to grant the utmost extent of amelioration which my Noble and Learned Friend and his Majesty's Ministers may require, and am perfectly ready to repose confidence in their declaration of this night, which I am sure will give an earnest of future-tranquillity and happiness to the country." - Between these sentiments and those professed by Lord Brougham we can detect no difference. Lord "Durham is an enemy to the compromise of opinions ; but when did Lord Brougham give earnest that he was friendly to such conduct ? He is for the imme diate" uprooting of all recognized abuses ; but when did Lord Brougham profess himself a patron of them ? There may be a difference in the pace at which each' would proceed in his career of useful ness ; but no difference as to the end in view : and we are the more persuaded of such being the fact, upon comparing the speech of Lord Durham with those which were subsequently made by two of the Lord - Chancellor's colleagues, Mr. Ellice and Sir John Cam Hobliouse. " Now that we have accomplished," said the former, " that great object of obtaining a full and fair representation of the people, it will be our duty to impress on their representatives the necessity of such efficient measures as they have a right to expect as the result of that reform ; and either in my present situation, or in any other in which I may be at any time placed, ;they shall be welcome to my best services in the cause so long as my health will enable me to afford them ; and I hope I shall not be one of those who will at any time proceed to claim a worse measure of reform, in the vain hope of conciliating the aititural and consistent enemies of all reform. lam sure I only speak the sentiments of every colleague with whom I have the honour to act, when I say that they are as anxious as the people can desire, to proceed with what they know the people re . quire, and with justice, at their hands—they desire only that they may be enabled to proceed with those measures with that deliberation, with that caution, and with that prudence which are necessary to adapt them to the great ends for which they are intended." Are not these few sentences an echo of those ex pressed by Lard Durham, and does any one conceive for a moment that Mr. Ellice would have given vent rto these expressions, had he not known them to be the sentiments of the Government to which he be longs? Equally corroborative of the same fact is the language of Sir John Cam Hobhouse— " If there were anything wanting," said he, " to tell a Mi riister what is expected of him at the hands of the people of the United Empire, we should learn it certainly from what has been addressed to us by a Noble Friend of mine, Lord Durham. I, for one, am most willing to accept what he has been so kind as to address to the King's Government in per fect•good part. Ido believe that it is the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to carry into full and efficient effect all these benefits which the people of England and Great Britain have a right to expect ; else why, Gentlemen, do I belong to the- present Administration? On what other ground could I have joined it ? I am one of the people ; I belong to the people in every sense of the word ; it is in order to carry, into effect'that which I believe from my conscience to be the real popular effects of the Reform Bill, that I have consented to join the Administration." Nothing can be more explicit—nothing can be more satisfactory—than the above declaration. It is con clusive as to the existence of harmony in the liberal camp, and still more conclusive as to the future policy of the Cabinet—a policy which will be guided by pru dence and caution, and foresight of danger, but founded on a courageous and unflinching determina tion to extirpate abuses—to improve the institutions of the country, and to diffuse among the people that knowledge both of their own rights and of the rights of others, without which no reforms, however exten sive or however wise, can be either efficient or per manent.—Morning Advertiser. NATIONAL BANK OF IRELAND, (From the Wexford Independent.) On Monday last, pursuant to requisition, the inhabitants of Enniscorthy held a public meeting in the market7house, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of establishing a branch of the National Bank in that town. About 4 one o'clock th e P or t reeve , J o h n F. NUNN, Esq., took the chair, who said, that a requisition most respectably and numerously signed, having been presented to him, he felt if his duty to call the present meeting, and he was happy to find that it was so fully and respectably attendee. Mr. J. REYNOLDS, who attended as the secretary and representative of the London Board of Management, having beeerequested to read the prospectus (which we published in a`former number) complied with the desire of the meet ing, and appeared to afford general satisfaction. He then proceeded to congratulate the assembly on the presence of their chief magistrate, whose co-operation, he felt, would be in itself almost a guarantee of the success of the undertak ing,--(Hear.) He must also express to that gentleman the high sense he entertained of the courtesy he (Mr. R.) received at his hands, and the promptitude with which be complied with the wishes of the inhabitants. He hailed the present meeting as the forerunner of that happy desi deratum—sectarian amalgamation—without which the 'country never could arrive to that eminence in the commer cial world for which God and nature so eminently fitted her. He was told in England that Irishmen never pull to gether—that no project could ever succeed where, there was one part of the community di v id e d aga i nst another : and.that there was no probability of uniting all classes on any one question —no matter how advantageous it might be 'to the common interests.—(Hear.) Unhappily, their former dissentions furnished grounds for such an accusation ; but `he would point to the meeting that day, as the opening of a -brighter and happier era. The requisition, in the present case, was one of the most respectable that ever emanated from the town of Enniscorthy—embracing sixty-eight -names, thirty-four of which were Protestant, and the other half Roman Catholics—(Loud cheering)—which pro claimed, trumpet-tongued, that all former bickerings were forgetten—for there was nothing to be forgiven —and that "a long pull, and a strong pull, and a pull altogether had commenced for the common good of all classes.—(Hear.) The Bank of Ireland has become so prosperous that the poor man is completely excluded from becoming a share holder in that establishment—the original shares being now upto 224/. each. The Provincial Bank, too, which was established in 1825, is exclusively Scotch or English.— (Hear, hear.) He never spoke ill of the Provincial Bank, ner.Should he do so now. It has rendered much good to the county—and he, hoped it would continue to prosper ; for without it, we should at this time of day have arrived at a - system of barter—(Hear, and cheers.) But then it was exclusively in the hands of the English and Scotch ; and he would ask were the Irish always to remain excluded from the- advantages which a participation in banking speculation held forth ? The shares of the Provincial Bank, which originally cost 25/., were now up to 47/. 10s. ' or 92 per cent.--And this great increase of capital has taken place since 1825. However, he was happy to see the Irish public ' at length opening their eyes to their own interests ; and it was not the least of the inducements held forth to join the present undertaking, when we see such men as Lord Dun cannon, Mr. Vigors, M.P., and other Irish proprietors giving it their sanction and co-operation.—( Hear, hear.) One of the arguments used against the present institution was the want of patriotism in the managers for connecting themselves with Englishmen. The blockheads who rail thus, should remember that every nation in Europe feel a pride in being more or less identified in a commercial point of view with England. He (Mr. R.) contended, that the establishment of Banks on a wholesome and solid basis, would give a stimulus to industry ; promote the interests of the agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing classes ; and invite fresh capital from the sister country. England has grown immeasurably wealthy under the system—Scot land, with a small population, and a comparatively barren soil, was prosperous and happy, the consequence of her banking system. But Ireland was a soil far superior to either--was sunk to the very depths of human poverty and wretchedness. One country was barren and wealthy, the other fertile and miserable.—(Cheers.) But to come to the subject matter of the Bank itself. Some of the first capitalists in England, Men of great mercantile experience, propose to subscribe a million of money, and to enter into partnership with any town that will create a capital of 10 or 20,0001., as the case may be—the London Board ad vancing a similar sum, which would entitle them to half the net profits. They will have the right of appointing the manager ; but the election of the directors rests with the local shareholders themselves ; and it will be their own fault if they do not select men who will honestly and zealously discharge their duty. Each branch would be distinct from the other, and totally irresponsible for each other's con cerns, but the London: Board will be responsible for all. In fact, if ever there was a mercantile speculation guarded against any probable contingency of loss, it was this. Now, if cautious Scotchmen, quite ignorant of the country, could, in,a few years, make 92 per cent., what was to be expected 'from the present undertaking, with which Irish men of all classes were identified in feelinn• and interest. He hoped, however, that the Provincial Bank would always last.—(Hear and cheers.) He would not do justice to an influential and important body of men, if he did not bear testimony'to the benefits which accrued from that undertak ing. But he thought Irishmen were as fully capable of superintending banking transactions as either English or Scotchmen. Mr. Reynolds sat down amidst general cheering. Mr. P. BOLGER, in proposing the second resolution, said that he had carried on trade for the last five-and-twenty years in the town of Ehniscorthy—in which he expended considerable sums of money—but there was not a day that inconvenience and difficulties were not thrown in his way for the want of a local bank.—(Hear, hear.) He did his business in the Provincial Bank at Wexford, since its in stitution ; but although. he found the manager, Mr. Baird, always accommodating,.and had placed considerable trust in him (Mr. B.), nevertheless he, in common with his fellow townsmen, felt the disadvantage of not having a local branch in the town. It was not, therefore, out of any spe cies of opposition that he joined in the undertaking, but for the benefit of his native town and the community at large. A vote of thanks was then passed to Captain Nunn, when that gentleman expressed himself pleased with the approbation of his fellow-townsmen ; and he said he would be' always happy to accord with their wishes. The meeting then separated. REVISING BARRISTERS' COURT. BOROUGH OF FINSBURY. On Saturday Mr. 6andys and Mr. Chapman attende at White Conduit House to finish the revision of the list of voters for the borough of Finsbury. ST: GILES'S PARISH. On the list of voters for St. Giles's parish being sub mitted to Mr. Sandys, the Vestry Clerk observed that a local Act was passed some years ago which made the land lords of houses rated: under 301. a year liable to the pay ment of the rates. The lists of persons qualified to vote were prepared from the rate-books, in which the landlord's names only appeared, and consequently the names of the occupiers of the houses rated under 30/. a year were omitted in the list of voters unless they claimed to have their names placed in the list. Mr. Sandys said that the tenants' names should have been placed in the list of persons entitled to vote, and in quired if many persons had been omitted from the list ? The Vestry Clerk .said that several had been omitted, but- he thought in future it would be better to place their names in the rate-book under the landlords' names, which would prevent the omission of their names in the list. FOREIGNERS. Mr. Sandys, observing the names of several foreigners in the list of voters, inquired if it was known that those persons were aliens, or had obtained letters of denization ? The Vestry Clerk was unable to answer the question, but observed that the names were copied into the list from the rate-book. ' Mr. Sandys said that it was the duty of the overseers have made the inquiry before they returned the names, as the list purported to be a list of persons qualified to vote. A question was then asked if foreigners whose names ap peared in the list would be rejected at the poll ? Mr. Sandys said they could not be rejected at the poll. Only three questions were asked at the poll—" Do you now reside in the borough ?" " Are you qualified to vote ?" "Do you now retain the qualification ?" A Committee of the House of Commons would not consent to strike out the names, taking the list as good evidence. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT-SErr. 20. John Gill Hodgkinson, tailor, was opposed by Mr. Wood roffe, for Mr. John-Allen, and supported by Mr. John Cooke. Mr. Commissioner BowEN, in giving judgment, said that a case of fraud had been completely proved in getting goods to the amount of 861. from Mr. Allen by the exhibition of a false balance-sheet, that he had made false entries, and had shown undue preference to his brother by giving him 1361. which - belonged to the creditors in general, and to whom it ought to have been given. Therefore the sentence of the Caurt would be, putting out of view the case of fraud committed against Mr. Allen, " That the insolvent be imprisoned for eight calendar months, for the undue pre ference he had shown to William Hodgkinson." The Court adjourned at seven o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A west-end of the town tradesman, named Drabble, was brought b e f ore Ald erman K ELLY , who sat for the LORD MAYOR. A watchman, as he was walking near Thames-street, saw a man endeavouring to climb up to the first story of a public-house by means of the gas-pipe. As the person ascended the witness perceived the pipe bending, and called out to him to return, but no attention was paid to the order. In a moment, however, the man, who proved to be the prisoner, tumbled backward, and witness thought he had broken his back. This was, however, a mistake, for what the witness thought was the bone of the young man's back proved to be a part, of the gas-pipe, which had snapped in two. The prisoner, to witness's astonishment, rose up sud denly and appeared as if nothing had happened to him, and said that he had two friends in the public-house, and that he wished to get to them through the window, as he could not get in at the dqor. Alderman KELLY-It was a rash thing, for the man might have broken his back ; but I suppose he paid for the damacre he had done to the pipe. The watchman said the Company required 10s. for the damage, and that i the prisoner preferred a lodging in the station-house all night, and refused to pay more than half-a crown. . The prisoner considered himself justified himself in trying to get in at the witidow. At his end of the town the thing would be thought nothing of, and he could have got off by paying one shilling: The - Alderman advised him to pay the demand, which he did with a very bad grace, declaring that there was nothing like justice if a man happened to stay out and take a g l ass with a few friends. BO W-STREET. Mary Clarke, alias _Browne, alias Wood, a respectably dressed middle-aged woman, was charged with robbing se veral ready-furnished lodgings, and also with obtaining a variety of goods under false pretences from different trades people. It appeared from the statement of a number of wit nesses that within the last twelve months the prisoner has occupied furnished'apartments in different parts of the town, and that she had patronised tradespeople by ordering goods, for which she promised to pay ready money ; but in every i ns t an ce where she contri ve d t o ga i n possess i on p f t h em left her lodgings the next day, forgetting to pay the rent, an .I'g the pods im me di ate l y a f ter. d sh p e a remanded till Th urs d ay. pawning GUILDHALL. Mr. Sansbury, of Valentine-place, Stoke Newington, ap peared before Mr. Alderman KELLY and Sir C. MAR-. S HALL, to answer the complaint of Mr. Montague, the sur veyor of the floral district of the City, for refusing to pay him 241., for surveying some stables in White-street and Tenter -street. • Mr. Sansbury ,said there was an item in the bill of 17/. is. for merely walking from Guildhall to Moorfields, and looking at three coachhouses and three stables, and then pronouncing that all was right. They were merely stables with a hayloft over, and yet Mr. Montague had the boldness to charge them as. so many third-rate buildings, and demanded 21. 10s. for looking at each ; 21. 10s. was the highest fee allowed by the Act. Mr. Montague maintained that the stables were third rate buildings, because they exceeded thirteen feet in height, which brought them within the description. There were seven distinct occupations or lettings, and he was therefore entitled to his fees on each. These fees were never abated except on the ground of poverty ; he could make no alteration, because he should injure the interests of the surveyors of the other districts as well as his own. The Magistrates, who have the power to fix a sum ac cording to discretion, considered the charge of 171. 10s. exorbitant, and appointed Mr. Smith, a surveyor, to de cide what was the fair sum to which Mr. Montague was entitled. QUEEN-SQUARE.AN EMANCIPATED NEGRESS.—MPS. Mary Mitchell, a black woman, well known in the purlieus of the Almonry, was charged before Mr. Gregorie with being very disorderly on the previous evening. The defendant entertains some strange notions of the privileges which the Slavery Abolition Act has given to the negroes. On the previous evening she abused, in the most disgusting language, a man for having merely looked at her, and created a great disturbance in the neighbourhood. Mr. GREGORIE.—What have you got to say to the charge ? Mary Mitchell.—M e free nigger now, him no ought to take me to stashion ; me's room all de same as my castle ; dare is dat fellow Massa. Mooneyi. he first kick up all de bobbery. I hab the law of him now, he call me a nigger slave, and all man know Me be emancibated. Mrs. Mooney, an old woman, here stepped forward and begged for heaven's sake that something might be done with Mrs. Mitchell, for she had got it into her bead that the negroes might do just as they pleased, and that no law could touch them. Mary Mitchell.—So day can ; now all niggers free. I nebber walk in Westminster now ; I have live wid my man weddy spectable this five years, and now I walk in de city wid de gentlemen on the Change, and dey tell me and say, Mary Mitchell, all de nigger may do as they please. Mr. GREGORIE told her that - he should commit her for ten days as a disorderly person. Mary Mitchell.—Send a free nigger to prison ! bery yell ; I tell my friend on the Change, and I make him take de law for me, and a send you all to prison ; a low vulgar set ebery one. Mary - Mitchell was then locked up. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Thomas Bedborough, a carman, was brought before Mr. Dyer, charged with running over a little girl of the name of Matilda Pfort, in Regent -street. Police - Constable No. 177 of .the C division deposed, he was on duty in Regent-street, on Friday afternoon, about three o'clock. He saw a cabridlet going along at a very rapid rate ; the little girl, who was in the carriage -road, en deavoured to run across ; on'reaching the middle of the street she turned her head round, evidently with the inten tion of seeing if she bad escaped the cabriolet. At this instant the defendant, who wasdriving at a slow pace, came up, and the poor girl ran against the horse and fell the cart passed over berbody. Shp was taken up and conveyed to St. George's Hospital. Mr. DYER—Have you a certificate from the surgeon as to the' nature of the injuries which the child has received ? Constable—l have been to surgeon this morning, and he is unable to give any opinion for the present as to whether the symptoms are dangerous 6r not. Mr. DYER—In that case I must remand the prisoner ; for if in case the poor child should die, it will be my duty to send him to trial for m4nslaugpter. Constable-4n my opiniol.it was entirely accidental on the part of this man, for he was not driving at more than three miles per hour. Mr. DYER— , —AS that is the case I will take bail for his appearance ; but it must be heavy to ensure his attendance provided the child should die: The defendant said he could get bail to any amount. W OR SHIP- STREET. A young woman, named Fitzgerald, was charged with the following act of inhumanity :—On Friday evening the defendant went with an infant in her arms to Shoreditch workhouse, and demanded 10s. relief. This was, of course, denied her, upon which she exclaimed, with an oath, that the parish should maintain her offspring, at the same time dashing the infant upon the ground, after which she ran away.—She was sentenced to , a month's imprisonment and hard labour. THAMES POLICE. SINGULAR CASE.—RUNNING OFF WITH A SHIP.—A person of the name of Ryan, late master of a sloop called the Industry, which was in 1832 employed in conveying stores to Don Pedro at Oporto, appeared to answer the complaint of George Lannack, a sailor boy, who stated that he had served the defendant from November, 1832, until May-, 1833, when the Captain having been left behind at Oporto, he, by the advice of the Port Captain, left the vessel at Gibraltar. He stated that since that period he had been to the West Indies, and that this was the first opportunity he had had to make the claim for wages, which he now preferred. The Captain had engaged with the boy, but while he (the Captain) was on shore at Oporto transacting business a gale of wind sprung up and drove the vessel to sea, and he heard that she was driven into Vigo. Since that period he had heard nothing whatever of the vessel, but he be lieved that the mate and the crew had run off with her, as a great spirit of mutiny had exhibited itself on board some time previously to the occurrence. Mr. Hill, a ship-chandler of Shadwell, said he understood that the vessel was trading at the present time on the coasts of Spain and Portugal. Mr. COMBE said the case presented a very suspicious appearance. The boy had no claim for wages, as it was evident he was on board the ship some time after she had been carried off by the mate. He thought the boy was in an awkward situation, and he would advise him to state all he knew respecting the sloop. The boy said he knew nothing of the ship or her crew. Mr. COMBE—The complaint is dismissed. Mr. Ledley, the junior clerk, said that when the boy applied for the summons he stated that the vessel was con demned at Gibraltar as not being seaworthy ; but Mr. Hill was positive that she was now trading on that coast. Mr. Comm said it was a suspicious affair, and ought to be investigated. UNION-HALL. Two young men, named Williams and Beckley, were charged by an exciseman named Williams with conveying a quantity of spirits without a permit. It appeared that a manufacturer of noyeau had employed them to carry a large jar of that liquid to the •house of a publican. The manufacturer said that it was merely the juice ex tracted from nuts, the publicans themselves infusing spirits to make the liquor palatable to the ladies. Mr. Traill, having tasted the noyeau, decided that there was no spirit, and discharged the defendants. The excise officer said that the persons to whom the jar belonged refused to take it unless he carried it home to their house. The Magistrate said that as the exciseman brought it there he had a right to take it back again. The exciseman was also threatened with an action for false imprisonment. STORIES OF SCHOOL EDUCATION.—Not only in the great national schools, but in the little paltry cottage set naries of threepence a-week, I hear of the most ridiculaus instances of the affectation of literature. A poor little girl of this stamp was in my room one day when a gentleman was sit ting with me. He asked her what she was reading at school. " Oh, sir, the whole circle of the sciences 1"—." Indeed," said he ; "that must be a very large work 1"—" No, sir, it is a very small book, and I had it f or h a lf- a - crown ." My friend smiled, and lamented that what had cost him so much time and money was of such easy attainment. I asked a little girl, a servant's child, the other day, what she was reading, and if she could say her catechism. " 0 no, madam ; lam learning syntax." What I am going to add you will think an exaggeration, if not an invention, but it is a literal fact. A girl in the next parish being asked what she learnt, answered, " Gog-raphy, and the harts and senses." * * * Many a child is brought to me in my room for a little reward of a tract, &c. Since I began this scrawl, a sharp little girl was brought to me for this purpose. She repeated a short poem extremely well. I then said, " Now I must examine what you know of the Bible. Who was Abraham ?" After some hesitation she answered, " I think he was an Exeter man."—Mrs. H. More's Life and Corre spondence. A FUNNY MAN.--Fun is to me what ale was to Boniface. I sleep upon fun—l drink for fun—l live upon fun, hence our dear funny friends just suit me—they do nothing but laugh ; they laugh with one when present, and at one when absent—but to me that is the fun-_I admit myself fond of prac tical joking, I don't mean in one's own particular circle; there it is dangerous ; people are not always in the same humour ; what they think uncommonly good fun one day, they will se riously resent as an insult the next. There's no judging with certainty a man's temper of mind, and it is not easy to ascer tain how much melted butter a gentleman would like to have poured into his coat-pocket without kicking ; I avoid that sort of thing, but on the great scale I confess my addiction. Com ing here yesterday evening-, I stopped the chaise at the corner of Egham, in order to turn the finger-post at the corner half round—sent all the people bound for London to Chertsey, all the people destined for Egham to Windsor, and all the people destined for Windsor to London—that's my way. I've whipped off every knocker in Sloane-street three nights running—a hundred and ninety-four, exclusive of shops ; and if ever the project of lighting London with smoke should be brought to bear, I flatter my se lf you w ill h ear o f my d ar k en i ng t h e w h o l e parish of Pancras, by grinding a gimlet through a gas-pipe I These frolics cost something occasionally, but what of that ? Every man has his pursuits—l have mine.— Theodore Rook. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Intelligencer.) LEEDS.—NO material change in business, either as to quan tity or price. The chief complaint is still of low p rices., BRADFORD M ARKET on Thursday was extreme l y flat, and very few goods were sold. HUDDERSFIELD.—Market on Tuesday heavy. In t h e pit sent state of the woo l t ra d e , no one ventures beyond hand to mouth. HALIFAX. B us i ness on S a t ur day singularly flat. The buyer and the seller alike complains, the former of hi g h the latter that he ca n h ar dly replace the goods for the money for which he disposes of th em . is The blanket trade at b o th Dewsbury and Heckmondwike considered very flat for the season. The merchants are ex tremely reluctant to give the prices required by th e manu facturers. SADDLEWORTH.—The woollen cloth business at this place does not improve so rapidly as the manufacturers expected but, on the cont trade is has improved a little. The trade here chiefly de pends on the American markets, and some manufacturers say that there is but little prospect of improvement in that quarter at present, 3 et hands are moderately well employed. BARNSLEY LINEN TRADE.—Business still continues pretty fair, and some of the greater concerns have not much reasonit to complain, but we are afraid that the great advance whic has taken place in flax will throw a considerable damp upon the ROCHDALE trade. FLANNEL MARKET, SEPT. 15.—The flannel market to-day was equally as good as last week. Goods of all descriptions were speedily bought up. There was deal of business done in the wool market at prices similar ° those of last week. The two last markets have been the best we have had this season. SILK TRADE.—The silk trade at Manchester and the 040, - bouring towns is very slack. The fancy or jacquard weio't is almost extinct, and those manufacturers who are mak T ee those sorts of goods have, during last week, reduced the r, l er of weaving one penny per yard. Plain sarsnets are ramar slack, whilst black silk handkerchiefs and check sarsnets W ork 1 ' yet in great request. Manufacturers say that fancy likely to be brisk again after Christmas. YORK WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 18.—We have had but alsota scanty supply of wool at to-day's market (about 120 she ets/ a with a meagre attendance of buyers, and prices may be quote°r somewhat similar to thsse of this day fortnight. In inter wools there has been nothing doing ; there were abou t four- f teen sheets exhibited, but no purchasers. In consequence F the quarterly meeting of the Society of Friends bein, h e ld 1 ° York next week, according to custom, a wool market ht t e t held on Thursday next, in addition to the regular fortnig, markets, which are held on the same day as the fo rtnigu cattle market.
