What was the answer of Lord Anglesea ? " Gentlemen in the disturbed counties, do you perform the duties which belong to your situation. Fly not for the threats of idle miscreants, who say what they do, for the purpose of in timidation but who never will act up to w:iat they say. Do you perform your duties fearlessly and honestly, and you shall have the advantage of Special Commissions—l shall send down the King's prosecutor to you. Week after week, and month after month, you shall have Special Commissions—the law will be exercised; but, until it is tried and found to fail, you shall have nothing beyond it."—(Hear, hear.) What was the con sequence ? He (Mr. Pigott) recollected, as it were only yes terday, the opening of the Special Commission in Clare—he recollected the Judge, a gentleman of great experience, saying, that he had never known, in, the course of his experience, the ordinary law. to be tried that they did not succeed.—(Hear.) These laws were tried, and they had succeeded; and he (Mr. Pigott) now pointed to Clare, where such outrages prevailed, and which were a standing refutation to the speech of Lord Grey, and the extraordinary powers that he sought for.—( Hear.) Clare, too, was a complete refutation to the misrepresentations which were sent across the Channel, and which, very possibly, came from very doubtful and suspicious sources In the neighbourhood of Galway the same outrages as had oc curred in Clare were committed, and in that place the ordinary exercise of the law was found sufficient to sup press them. There was not a single instance at the Galway Commission of persons being brought to trial for Whiteboy offences, who were not convicted, for there the prosecutions were managed with great discretion. He Warred to these cir =lnstances to show, that the powers now sought for were un necessary, and heidit unnecessary, he should say of them, that th - ry were levelled not merely at freedom in the abstract, but they struck at*he very root of social society.—(Hear.) He could not help looking to the consequences of the frightful measures now proposed ; he could not close his eyes to this, and if such measures were carried, or could be carried, in an English Re formed Parliament, that many of those who, like him, had been opposed to repeal, would, by such measures, be induced to reconsider opinions which certainly had not been either hastily or lightly formed respecting repeal, and which hitherto they had regarded as leading to dangers and disasters greater than it proposed to remedy.—(Hear.) It is was a perilous thing to put the minds of men reconsidering upon such a topic as this, and to do so especially amid the contagion arising from the minds of many being already disposed in favour of that question.—(Hear, and cheers.) He hoped that the Par liament of England, would not, in ignorance of the state of Ireland, rush forward to the enactment of measures which must make this country nothing but a scene of strife. Mr. Pigott concluded amid loud cheers, by proposing a resolution, as an amendment on the address suggested by Mr. John Walsh. Mr. PATRICK COSTELLOE, in seconding the resolution pro posed by Mr. Pigott, declared that he was, like Mr. Walsh, an avowed Repealer ; but while he said so, he would declare that though he came there prepared to assent to the resolutions to be submitted to the meeting, he was not at all prepared to put his name to an address of the description submitted by Mr. Walsh, without having time to deliberate upon it.— (Hear.) Mr. Walsh might consider that his address had some likeness or similarity to the celebrated American address; but did any one there ever hear of Washington or Franklin coming into an assembly of Americans, and proposing their address, without consulting any one about it ? (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) It would, he believed, be admitted, that O'Connell was the first and best of Irishmen, and if that great man coincided in opinion with Mr. Walsh, he would have told the people to have addresses and declarations, but instead of that he said to them, " petition, petition, petition."—(Cheers.) Lord Grey had laid as the foundation of his coercive measures, that con. victions could not be had in Ireland, by:reason of the intimida tion of juries, and cited the Carrikshock trials.—(Hear.) Now he (Mr. Costelloe) had been professionally engaged upon these trials, and he knew well what had occurred at them. The first man put upon his trial on that occasion was John Ken nedy. He was tried on Sth March, 1832, and he was trium- phantly acquitted, after a jury had been selected from a more numerous attendance of the panel than had been before col lected in Kilkenny. That jury consisted of seven Protestant gentlemen and five Catholics. Who was it gave a character of the prisoner on that occasion ? The son of Sir Robert Lan grishe, one of the Commissioners of Excise, and also Mr. Robert Braithwaite, a respectable Protestant farmer. There were three policeman sworn against the prisoner, none of whom could say they ever saw him, till they supposed they had seen him at Carrickshock, though it was distinctly proved by others, that he was not there when the conflict took place. The jury gave a verdict of acquittal, and they could not conscientiously give any other. Were the juries intimidated into that ? On the next day, Lawrence Doolin, and four others, were convicted of a Whiteboy offence, and three of them were subsequently executed. Who were the jury upon that occasion ? They were mostly Catholics ; for the Crown Officers were so busy about the Carrickshock trials that they had not time to think of what had occurred at Castlecomer. Five were convicted of that offence; and he would ask if that looked like intimidation ?—(Hear, hear.) At the next assizes John Ryan was, on the 20th of July, put upon his trial. His jury consisted of nine Protestants and three Catholics. Before that jury was sworn, 35 persons, and amongst them several re spectable Protestants, were set aside by the Crown Solicitor. He ( Mr. C.) exercised his right of challenge, and put by 20, that he thought he had good reason to know. Five policemen were produced against Ryan, and a boy was brought upon the table, who was the son of a beggarman, but who was dressed up for the occasion like a gentleman's son from Merrion-square. He was asked as to the nature of an oath, and it was found, though he was under the drill of some policemen here, that he knew nothing of the principles of religion, and Baron Foster, who is a very sanctimonious man, desired him to begone.—(Laughter.) Mr. Costelloe mentioned the cases then of several persons con victed by these jurors of Whiteboy offences, to show that there was no intimidation; and the declaration of the Judge, who tried these persons, declaring that the juries showed they were prepared to maintain the peace of the county. Mr. Costelloe concluded amid loud cheers, by supporting the resolution, and strongly depreca•ing the declaration suggested by Mr. Walsh, whom he called upon to withdraw it. Mr. I. CALLAGHAN, and Mr. PLUNKETT, the barrister, opposed the declaration of Mr. Walsh; the latter gentleman said it would involve the safety of every man there. Mr. WALSH rose for the purpose of withdrawing the decla ration proposed by him.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") As Mr. Plunkett, with the concurrence of other lawyers, was of opinion that it would be perilous to sign such a document, he should withdraw it, bowing to their superior legal knowledge. The resolution proposed by Mr. Pigott, as an amendment, was then put and adopted unanimously, amidst loud accla mation. Mr. IGNATIUS CALLAGHAN, on proposing the next resolution, said, that the resolution was emphatic, and suitable to the emer gency. It declared that as ardent friends of British connection, they deprecated the measures of Lord Grey, because they tended to break the ties of attachment which alone could keep the countries united.—(Cheers.) Mr. FOGARTY rose to second the resolution. The question at that moment was not what was the extent of their rights, but rather should they, in a month hence, have any rights at all.—(Loud cheers.) Even for the sake of the poor people who were likely to be the victims of this system of coercion he felt the deepest anguish and commiseration ; but as a member of a free community, he regarded those measures with indignatio9, as a dreadful blow at the constitutional rights of the Irish people.—(Loud cheers.) He could not shut his eyes to the fact that those measures were calculated to produce, amongst the Irish people, a deep conviction that their prosperity and happiness were totally incompatible with British connection. if there were even a plausible ground to warrant those measures, some reason might be alleged for the suspension of the Constitution ; but h.. looked upon the state ments of Lord Grey as coming from contaminated and interested sources.—(Cheers.) Taking all those statements as facts— even if every thing his Lordship had alleged were true, still there was nothing to warrant a suspension of constitutional privileges in Ireland.—(Loud cheers.) So hard run was Lord Grey, that he had to refer to a single outrage in the county Tipperary.—(Hear, hear.) He knew the county Tipperary well, and he could assert that during the last ten years it had not been in so orderly and tranquil a state as at present.—(Hear, hear.) The Tories would not have acted as i the Whigs now propose to act. During Lord Wellesley's government in this country under the Liverpool administra tion, the country was much more disturbed than at present— the counties of Cork and Limerick were in a state of extreme insubordination, far greater than what now prevails in any part of Ireland, but the Tory administration did not then think of suspending the constitution; and when Lord Liverpool moved for the reenactment of the Insurrection Act, Lord Holland, a member of the present Cabinet, and a party t o the Whig measures of coercion, protested against the policy of Lord Liverpool.—(Cheers.) There was one portion of the measure of Lord Grey which above all others was too monstrous to bear scrutiny. A common catch-pole was entitled to solect any place his caprice suggested as a legal gaol.—(Hear.) Good God what frightful consequences might result from such a reckless power.—(Hear, hear.) The unfortunate prisoner might be removed from his friends, and kept from all means of defence and establishing his innocence. Even during the rebellion no thing so frightful or monstrous was enacted. Even if there was nothing else, this portion of the Whig project was sufficient to disentitle the Ministry to the slightest claim upon the con fidence of the public.—(Cheers.) The resolution was passed unanimously. Mr. M. MACDONALD proposed the next resolution, which amounted to a solemn protest against the adoption of the mea sures of Lord Grey, without any Parliamentary inquiry. Mr. O'Down seconded the resolution. Mr. E. BERWICK said—l rise Sir, for the purpose of protesting against the projected measures—pregnant as they are with dis grace and ruin—measures which are the brood of wounded pride and baffled tyranny—measures under any circumstances unjustifiable, under present circumstances monstrous and in tolerable—measures which nothing, save the firmness and pa. tience of the people, can prevent from steeping the whole land in infamy and blood.—(Cheers.) I oppose these measures, be_ cause they are uncalled for; because they go to aggravate that very disease which it is pretended they are concocted to allay. What is the malady complained of ? Justice impeded—life un protected—and the laws defied. What is the remedy pro. posed ? Suspend all justice—overturn all law—and let the sword be the sole arbiter of life and death.—(Loud cheers.) The people are bonded, say the Ministers, in one great confe deracy. "There is one thing alone," says Mr. Locke, " that binds great multitudes of men together, and that one thing is oppression." What is fhe Whig prescription? Increase oppression. What is the history of Ireland but the gloomy catalogue of coercive acts, failing to remove the malady to which they were applied, and begetting new occasions for their sad infliction.—(Cheers.) They co erced before the Union ; they passed Acts inhuman and abomi. nable, but mild compared with those concocting for us by the present Government. They blasted the salutary parts of all the great concessions of that period; these enactments blast the paltry boon the Whigs are going to vouchsafe us. What was the result ? The infant disaffection throve and grew to manhood, under the fostering care of tyranny and injustice. They coerced again, and the partial malady became an epidemic. —(Cheers.) The rebellion was the crooked child of this de formed policy.—( Hear.) Has the Union changed the policy of Government, or has that policy been followed with more favour able results ? Look to the facts ; first, the blessings of the In surrection Act ; then the consolation of martial law; then the Insurrection Act; then the Habeas Corpus Act suspended, to diversify oppression ; then the Arms Act enacted coercion begat coercion, With a moratrous hasteofpregnancy in its birth, at once born and bringing forth ; then the Algerine Act, ac complishing with rapidity the very measure it was Moulded to retard (Cheers)—tben the proclamation law, investing a wretched effigy of royalty with a power that the mouth of many a despot waters to potsess. Is not this a history of the failure of coercion ?—(Cheers)--but look to the achievements of the last few months !—look to the Tithe Bill, the cherished child of Stanley's Christian policy—that Act that was to set upon its legs the prostrate majesty of the law, restore con tentment to the public mind, and root deep in the nation's love the blessed union of Church and State—its enactments were let loose—indictment followed indictment—prosecution fol lowed prosecution with a terrible volocity—the arm of justice waxed faint and weary as it wielded without a moment's re spite this new and weighty engine of oppression—(Cheers)— every thing was propitious to its dreadful operation—it was hailed by the yell of the Conservative—it was welcomed by the hosanna of the parson—the assent of the pliant Judge— the verdict of the packed Jury were not wanted to enforce it—(Loud cheers)—the gaols were glutted with its victims— the land was soaked in its own gore—if, indeed, that blood has sunk into the earth.—(Loud cheers.) Where are the promised fruits ? Where is the restored omnipotence of the law ?—Where is the restored tranquillity? Let his Ma. jesty's speech answer that " a spirit of insubordination and violence has risen to a fearful height, rendering life and property insecure and defying the laws."—(Loud cheers.) Let Mr. Macaulay answers, that Ireland, is in a state far worse than civil war." Let Stanley bear evidence to the utter failure of his rash and wicked policy. Let the demand for these tremendous and unheard-of powers answer that, and prove to every honest man the impotence, the blindness, the madness of coercion. —(Cheers.) But the Ministers will redress grievances, and while in the one hand they wield the sword, in the other they extend the olive. The Ministers are reforming the Church—let them destroy the Constitution. The Ministers will give a Bishop only 10,0001. a-year—let us make them a present of the Habeas Corpus Act. The Ministers have abolished the vestry cess—let them abolish the;;;1 - 1:; jury. The Ministers will reduce the number of the Bishops from twenty.two to twelve—let them wage the horrors of mar. tial law against the people. What! are we to be bribed into a surrender of every sacred right, because two-pence an acre is taken off the country ?—(Loud cheers.) I denounce the slavish and unthrifty principle that would balance against liberty, not pounds and shillings, but pence and halfpence. I denounce that Church Reform.—(Cheers.) I say it is a public lie to call that measure an adequate reform. Is that an adequate reform, that pays to the priesthood of a hand ful one million pounds per annum ? Is that an adequate re form for which we ought to barter liberty, which leaves in the poorest country upon the earth, the richest and most gorgeous Church, and says it is to be perpetual ? Is that an adequate reform that gives to the followers of Him who bath not where to lay his head, eight or nine thousand pounds a year ? What boots it to the country whether twelve or twenty mitred princes riot upon the poor man's toil and sweat, if that toil and sweat are still to be applied to feed the ravenings of a glutton Church ? —(Cheers.) Where is the abolition of tithe ? Where is the threefold distribution? Where is the cleansing of the House of Lords of that mitred phalanx, ever arrayed in perpetual hos tility against the liberties and advancement of the people ? (Loud cheers.) Let no one be bribed by the shadow of a Church reform to surrender the blessings of liberty and consti tution.—(Cheers.) But the intentions of the Ministry—the good intentions of the Ministry —are sufficient security that these powers will not be abused, say the slaves who are willing to bow their necks beneath the hoof of despotism. Fear not the gentle nature of Lord Grey, and put your trust in the ber loved Anglesea : read the honeyed speech of Mr. Stanley, and then away with every doubting fear —listen to him as he obtests his God to witness his devotedness to Ireland !—his bowels yearn for her! " With her were the dreams of his earliest love!" It is his ardent love that gives her martial law! His glowing passion that destroys her liberty and her honour.—(Cheers.) He loves Ireland! Aye, as Strafford loved her—(A loud burst of cheering)—when he joined to the craft of a Machiavel the cruelty of a Tamerlane, and pursued that terrible career for which his head justly rolled upon the scaffold. As Clare loved her, when he lashed her by coercion and by insolence into vio. lence and war, and then unleashed the horrors of martial law to tame that madness his own policy had excited. As Castlereagh loved her when the praise of Catholic liberty was on his tongue, and the hatred of it in his heart; when he called God to witness (for he too could blaspheme) his devotedness and fidelity to that cause, and held out bribes in order to re►ard it. — (Cheers.) Stanley's Tithe Bill, the first.born of his love, has stung the nation into fury, and now he calls for despotism to repress those crimes which are the spawn of his own rash and wanton policy —(Continued cheers.) But, Sir, the disturbances which disfigure parts of Ireland, for they are local, are not the real cause of these iniquitous enactments--it is not to protect property or life—it is not to uphold law—it is not to suppress crime, but to stifle liberty, that these measures are brought forward.—(Cheers.) Sir, it is to stop the mouth of Ireland, not to banish crime, that these measures are brought forward. It is to hush that cry which Charles Grey predicted would arise, and before which Earl Grey will yet be forced to bite the dust. I speak in the presence of many honest men, who are still unfriendly to re. peal, and I ask them are these the means by which the Union ought to stand ?—(Cheers ) I put this to them, has not the mere threatening of these horrid measures wrought upon their minds with more effect, in favour of repeal, than all the argu ments or eloquence hitherto advanced in favour of that cause ? —(Hear, hear.) I oppose these measures, because they go to shatter the connexion, by raising the question of tyranny or separation—because they will inflict upon the nation's heart and pride a wound that subse iuent concessions may never heal. I tremble for connexion if once these measures shall become the law. I tremble for the consequences of the awful lesson they will teach the people, that the voice of England (for the Parliament now speaks that voice) has pronounced her doom, and sentenced her to a perpetual and iron bondage.—(Cheers.) Where is the brawny arm that can wield these ponderous in struments of wrong, and establish in Ireland perpetual and universal despotism ? (Hear.) Where is the newly disco. vered mine of wealth that can give forth its millions to supply the costly luxury of universal despotism ? For, thank God, to be successful it must be universal ; its iron hoof must reach from shore to shore, and throughout the length and breadth of this devoted land, not one corner must be left free from its ruthless pressure. Establish partial bondage, the unfettered portions of the land will ring with cries of execration, and send forth shouts for justice. Lift up the foot of oppression for a while, trodden misery will spridg up and glare around for vengeance.—(Loud and enthusiastic cheering.) Mr. DUNN proposed the next resolution, which was supported by Mr. Savage, in a very able speech. JEREMIAH Dttror, Esq., was then called to the Chair, and thanks having been returned to Mr. 11I‘Loghlin, the meeting adjourned. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (THIS AY.) FROM U'S.

INFANT SLAVERY. CITY MEEI'ING —(THIS DAY.) Pursuant to public advertisement a meeting was this morn ing held, at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of sup• porting, by petition to the Legislature, the Bill about to be brought into Parliament by Lord Ashley, for restricting the tabour of children in all British factories to ten hours daily, and for preventing any children under nine years of age from being so employed. The meeting was graced by the attendance of a numerous and highly-respectable assemblage of ladies, who appeared to take a deep interest in the proceedings. Among the gentle. men who appeared on the platform we observed-- Lord Teynham, Lord Ashley, / Hon, Mr. Duncombe, M.P., Colonel Torrens, M.P., Mr. Robinson, M.P., Mr. O'Connell M.P., Mr. Sadler, late M.P., Mr. Wilks, M.P., Sir William Blizard, Mr. Lyall, Mr. Alderman Venables, I4on. Mr. Fraser, Sir Edward Knatchbull, M.P., Sir Andrew Agnew, M.P., Mr Owen, of Lanark, Captain Brenton, R.N., Mr. Smith, late M.P., Mr. Carruthers, Mr. Helps, Mr. Freese, Mr. Nathaniel Gould, Mr. Labouchere, banker. The LORD MAYOR in the chair. At about tweenty minutes after one o'clock the Loan MAYOR appeared on the hustings, and, having taken the Chair, amidst loud cheers, addressed the meeting to the follow. ing effect :—Ladies and Gentlemen, I am delighted to find so large an assembly for so excellent a purpose.—(Hear.) It would be very unbecoming in me were 1 to take up your time in describing the sufferings of the poor factory children, when I am surrounded by so many gentlemen who bate come from the very spot, and who will tell you what they have seen with . ' their own eyes. I, like you, have been governed by thereports I have seen, and I take it as a blot on the character of Engliste men to permit such scenes in this highly favoured country, as I' am sure'you will have described to you this day. You know the purpose for which we are assembled. Hitherto the average number of hours during which these poor children are obliged to work in these factories has been fifteen hours daily, and our object is to have that number reduced to ten ; and when you consider the overheated atmosphere of the rooms, lighted up by gas, and the sufferings of the poor children, considering too that they are kept awake at their work by the application of the lash and the thong, no dissentient voice will this day, or throughout the kingdom, be heard on this subject.—(Hear.) In fact, T do not think that there is any feature in the system of negro slavery, which equals in atrocity the treatmeni of these poor children, as stated in the Report before the Com- mittee in Parliament. When I was on a tour throughout England and Scotland, about twelve years ago, I visited one of the manufactories in Glasgow, and the children there em. ployed were in a worse condition, actually, than the horses in a post-coach. The fact is, that the masters have no interest in protecting their health; and the good old system of apprenticing children does not seem now to be attended to Even in the West Indies the masters bad an interest in protecting the lives of their slaves; but the poor factory children were mere outcasts from society—they are taken on to.day ; if they are ill to-morrow, they are set adrift without any one to care for them.—(Hear, hear.) I will not now go into the question of machinery, and I hope nothing having a political tendency will be dwelt upon here; but this I may say, that it was the opinion of those who advocated it, that it would lessen human labour. But how is it Instead of being lessened, the labours of these poor children, were multiplied and aggravated. I could say a great deal. Last year I went to Portsmouth, and I mention this to show the ne. cessity of distributing labour—in the Dock of which place, in stead of reducing the number of days, instead of reducing the number of men, thereby allowing some work for all,—if, in stead of keeping children at work for 1.5 hours, they were only worked 10 hours, more children wodld be employed, and as a magistrate, I can state, that half the crimes in this country are caused by a want of employment.—(Hear.) If you give em. ployment to the juvenile thieves of London, they will cease to be thieves. This is a matter of importance, and I cannot resist the opportunity of stating these important facts, that crime is caused by a want of employment. I could send to the Marine Society 1,000 children a.day, but there is no employment for them. It is different with our charity children ; but those who are not bound to masters, or employed as charity children, have no means of employment. I assure you that Igo heart am. soul in the objects of the meeting.—(Cheers) I will detail, you no longer. Our Secretary, the Rev G. S. Bull, will addres you, and state certain facts for your information.—(Cheers ) The Rev. G. S. Butt, incumbent of Byerley, said, he had felt great gratification in receiving an intimation from the committee of the London Society for Promoting the Improve. ment of the state of Factory Children, to attend-this meeting He trusted the proceedings of this day would be conveyed to distant parts of the United Kingdom, especially to the manu facturi►ig districts—(Hear, hear),—and that the impression: they already feel there will be confirmed, that in the metropolis of this great kingdom, and that in the heart of the Chief Magistrate of the chief city in the world, there is a great sympathy in behalf of those poor children (Cheers.) In those districts they had long been aware of that feeling, and they felt great gratitude to the public press for it, advocacy of their cause.—(Cheers.) The object of the meeting in requesting him to attend was to detail some facts which came to his knowledge, from his observation, during a seven year,' residence in the manufacturing districts—and to detail tht system of labour to which those children were doome, from a very early age. Those children were roused early it the morning from their beds: he had known instances in which parents had sat up for a considerable portion of the night, in order that their children should not be too late in the morning. At five o'clock, and sometimes at four in the morning they are roused by their anxious parents, who have been watching those slumbers. In cases where the parents were so poor that they had no clocks, it was not uncommon for children to start from home before their time, fearful of being too late, which would bring punishment on them ; and the other morning, a stranger in Byerley found two children crying in the street, who he found were factory children, anxious not to be too late for fear of being punished.—(Hear, hear.) The children while at work were not allowed in many instances to sit down. In Byerley, where he came from, except at one mill the children were not allowed time for breakfast, and when spinning was bad it was impossible for them to get refreshment at all, and they continued from six o'clock in the morning till twelve o'clock_ without any refreshment; at twelve o'clock they were allowed half an hour for dinner, and then they worked ordi narily until seven in the evening, but when trade was brisk, or when any machinery had broken, they had to work longer. In September last, in a factory at Byerley (and he spoke from facts under his own observation), children were employed from six in the morning till half.past eleven at night; and it was not unusual in the last four or five years for them to be employed until that hour on Saturday nights, and to be called to work again an hour afterwards, viz., at half.past twelve on Sunday morning, thus desecrating the Sabbath, and depriv ing those children not only of bodily rest, but of all their religious privileges.—(Hear, hear.) It had been said that ministers of religion had nothing to do in this matter, but he, as a minister of religion, was of opinion, that of all others this was a subject which called loudly for his sympathy and interposition. He had heard a fact but lately, which was told to .a gentleman by the Rev. Mr. Hearn, of Manchester, who stated that his brothers in the gospel were under the necessity of giving the factory children small catechisms, which they were obliged to hide under their clothes, for fear their overseers should fino them.—(Cheers.) He would now go on to detail the manner in which the poor children were used. They continued at the factory till a very late hour in the evening; they had then frequently to walk several miles to their homes, tired and jaded to death. An an early hour in the morning they were obliged to go to their work through rain and snow. After arriving at the factory, drenched to the skin, they were obliged to stand in their wet clothes the whole day.—(Cheers.) This was no ideal description or picture of fancy, the facts continually occur, and had called forth the sympathy of the British public. Ile would now allude to the punishments these poor children tin. derwent : they were beaten up to their work by an instrument like the one he now showed the meeting.—(The Rev. Gentle man here held up a lash of leather with a large knot on it, the sight of which appeared to convey a general shudder through the whole meeting.) That strap he had received from the father of some children who were employed in a factory at Byerley, from which he was obliged to remove them in consequence of the inhumanity that was exercised towards them. The overseer being in the habit of putting the heads of children between his legs and then beating them till their bodies were so bruised that they could not rest in their beds.—(Shame, shame.) The strap, however, that he had produced was, in comparison with others that were used, a merciful one. Such being the facts of the in humanity exercised towards these poor children, he would ask any one, whether the ordinary working of the system was not such as to require legislative interference. He was much gratified to find that the sympathies of the inhabitants of Lon. don were aroused on the subject.—(Cheers.) They had be ti never known to turn their back:: on the cause of the needy and oppressed, and he trusted they never would.—(Cheers.) Those who had never turned a deaf ear to the cause of the negro slave, he hoped would pursue the same course to the poor factory child.—(Hear, hear.) The Rev. Gentleman concluded by proposing the first resolution, expressive of the detesta tion of the meeting of the conduct pursued towards the poor factory children, and of their determination to do all in their power to support a Bill for ameliorating their condition. Mr. GouLn, in seconding the resolution, observed that lie thought the system ought to be put an end to imme diately, and that they should look to the emancipation or the slaves at home before they attempted to do it abroad. Ile had only known of the meeting that morning, but he had great satisfaction in coming forward to do all in his power for the abolition of such a system. He was not a new convert to his present opinions upon this subject. One gentleman, late Mr. Nathaniel Gould, of Manchester, wno was the very first to stir in the question, was an uncle of his, and him lie had assisted all in his power.—(Cheers.) That gentleman had spent the greater part of an exceeding long life making the attempt which he hoped was now about to be for all the zeal of his lamented relative, and, added to that, a greater share of talent. To that man (Mr. Sadler) they were indebted for the meeting, and he considered it a disgrace to the country that he was not now a Member of the Legislature, so that he might himself perfect the good work which he had been the great means of bringing to its present fa., vourable state.—(Hear, hear,) He hoped that that party who had first opposed Mr. Gould, and who had followed up that line of policy, and also opposed Mr, Sadler, would be obliged to succumb to the feelings of the public, so loudly ex. pressed as it' now had been upon this great and important, as well as humane ohject. The party who were opposed to this measure, talked a great deal about cheapness, but was it to be allowed or thought of, that Ladies would grudge sixpence a yard more for their dresses, or put it in com petition with the five or six hours of cruelty which were imposed upon these poor children, who were employed in the manufacture. He trusted that in a very short time he would see the shameful and cruel system entirely put an end to. He felt great pleasure in seconding the resolution. The resolution was then put from the chair, and was passed • unanimously. Mr. O'CONNELL then rose, and said that since he came into the room he had been solicited to propose a resolution. Ile had looked over it, and was both proud and happy to do so. The resolution was to the effect, " That that meeting expressed their opinion that the gains of oppreision were a national cala.. mity, and a Legislative enactment was imperatively called for. , He concurred entirely with the seetiments expressed in the resolutiou. He came there for the purpose of expressing his individual sympathy towards those children, and his determi. nation of humbly co-operating in putting an end to that dread. ful system. He was a father, and knew what it was to love one's children. The childrn of the rich, if they had property, were protected by law. The king, as the head of society; was invested with authority, which he delegated to his • Lord,Chancellor, to protect the children of the rich.—' Why ware not the poor chpdren to be protected by law P They • hard no property—but he denied it upon the pridciple that their' ,labour was their property. It called upon them to become the. Lord Chancellor and. protector of poor cnildren. It was st_ disgrace to this country that such s sivtem ef-daftry should exist in this country. The child was deprived of its rest—no time allowed" for recreation—worked till it could not stand— ruined its eonstitUjion ; and; if it outlived its childhood, crippled for the rest of its life.—(Hear, hear, hear) He knew that it was wrong in general principles to interfere between the labourer and his ernplqer, and that legislative in terference in such matters seldom worked well, because it was " against the principles no whicn society was held together. But when he saw that the state of society had become such that the pressure of want overcame the parental feeling, the princi ples of political economy must give way along with your calculations ; away with your sums of vulgar arith. metic ; away with the pounds of cotton and yards of silk. (Hear, hear.) - Away with all these; said he, for the question if one of humanity ? What were we heare for ? Not to heap up wealth, and leave it those who, perhaps, care little for us when we are gone. No, we are accountable feelings, account. able for the exercises of the feelings of charity and humanity. —(Hear.) But they were told that the evidence given before the Parliamentary Committee on this subject was fabricated,, that it was got up by a set of enthusiast, good.hearted men, whose judgments had failed them. Hisanswer was that this was an open public committee, in which it would have been easy to' have given evidence of a different kind. And were these atrocities committed in secret ? Did they take place in a corner? No; every manufactory was proved to be a hive of swarming misery. The clergy of all denominations had adduced facts which could not be controverted, and inferences, borne out in characters of wretchedness, Besides, were not the miserable creatures pro duced by this factory system brought before us ? _Did we not see their emaciated limbs, their ruined constitutions, their hollow eyes, their hectic cheeks, their decrepitude of prema ture old age stamped upon them.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") He could not be brought to believe that the system' of cruelty was necessary. No doubt it might make a few rich more speedily than otherwise; but riches would not be di. minished; and surely the getting rid of such a mass of human misery is on object chiefly obtained by the delay of getting wealth. He trusted in God—be hoped he did not use the name profanely—that he was not mistaken in appealing to:their feelings of humanity on this occasion. It had been said that 10 hours was too short a period for Middlesex. Good heavens! 10 hours too short a period. Why the only thing he complained of was, that the friends of humanity could have' brought themselves to so long a period. He would not give an additional moment —(Loud cheering.) He would be willing to vote for a nine hour or any shorter time Bill, but some,• the most forward friends of the factory children had agreed to ten hours a day, he would support a Bill to that effect. But hey were told that even such a Bill, giving so much labour to children, would be powerfully opposed, that persons in au. hority would resist it —(Hear.) He only hoped that the people of England would clearly undcrstand this, and he doubted not that the humanity of the ,eople of England would speak in a voice .Mich would suffi ciensly intimate to those parties that their opposition would be ,illitless --(Hear, hear, from Mr. Sadler,) The public would; iowever, tell them, that they might have great national ,Lojects in head, but that being deficient in homanity, a check lionld be placed to their curbit in this matter. The people of .F.ngland would speak in behalf of the children, who had no ongue but to wail, no voice that did not utter the words of aetentation. He meant to introduce no political feelings into nis meeting ; and in what he had said, he cast aside every t ling but considerations of humanity. He had eeme here for hat exclusive purpose, although his breast was swel ing, and its mind tortured by political questions.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HELPS seconded the motion. He would confine himself o two points. First, he would endeavour to disprove the ill linened prophecy, that if this measure succeeded the fore gn trade of the country, particularly in the staple cotton manufac. cure, would be involved speedily and surely in absolute ruin.

I am, ONE WHO ASSISTED TO SEND MR. CAVENDISH TO PARLIAMENT. Battle, Feb. 22, 1833. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The massacre of the Protestants in Ireland, in 1641, spread terror throughout this country at the time; it has been recorded in histories, repeated in schooi-books, and is even now believed by nine-tentbs of the reading people of the empire : and yet this massacre never either 4arpened or was intended. Some excesses of O'Niell's sollowers, which were repaid with intereq by the Pro testants, served indeed as a slight foundation on which so build this factious and political lie, and add to the unpo pularity of the , .King, who was suppos e d t o be attitehed to the Catholics.' But when Cromwell established his courts nartial, for the express purpose of trying those who were ecused of murder or masswre, ' not quite 200 could be liscovered who could be charged with il ie e a. murders, 'tiring all the excitement of a two years' civil war." With such a stubborn fact before our eyes, at e we now to be called upon to' suspend th 4 Constitution on the simple assertion of Lord Grey, or rather Lord Grey's informers, that Ireland is in that state to require the appli cation of so odious, so dangerous a measure, and, with- Nit deliberation or inquiry, &liver up that unhappy country to a worse dominion than the slave population in. Jamaica were subjected to during the last revolt ? I say worse dominion, because there the planters had at least some interest—some selfish desire, to preserve their live stock. In Ireland, alas! party-spirit overcomes humanity, and the first impulse of .the generality of English people is, that the Irish must be wrong. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A FRIEND TO JUSTICE AND HUMANITY.
