resistance amongst loyal men, and thee were many friend to the King and his Government who refused to pa' tithes.—(Cheers.) They were very loyal subjects, but they refused to pay tithes. Why should not others art in the same manner? In fact, the moment he saw the Hon. Member for South Durham, he prophesied that he would be aeo❑ in the middle of the Treasury Bench, and the prophecy was likely to be accomplished.—(A lane!.) He would now state the nature of the first clause, which was utterly misunderstood. Would it be believed that no promulgation of the Lord. Lieutenant's older to suppress a meeting was necessary?—(Signs of dissent from the Members on the Treasury Bench.) He repeated it, that too promulgation was necessary, and defied any man to point nut a word in the Statute requiring it. He defied any ►awyer to show that the order might not he verbal—by word of mouth—in short in any mode the Lord Lieute nant might please to utter it.—(No, nn, no, from the Treasury Benches.) He again defied any person to con tradict him. Mr. STANLEY certainly thought it necessary to ob serve, that, during the absence of the Hon. Meinher, a clause bad been proposed, rendering the promulgation of the order necessary. Mr. 0 CONNELL—And yet I am contradicted when speaking of the contents of the Bi•l in my hand ! The Al-mber then appealed to the Chairman, and asked whether it was not then impossible to introduce anything tore the clause? The CHAIRMAN was understood to signify his assent. Mr. O'CONNELL—Yet this Bill had not come sud denly open the House. It had been prepared by the first equity Judge of the land—had received the sanction of the other House and of his M ojesty's Ministers. Let them observe the nature of the first clause: the order suppres. sine a meeting might he verbil—it might be issued while the meeting was actually holding. No promulgation of it was necessary— no notic, of the illegality of the meet ing was required; and yet, under such circumstances, two Magistrates were to de Side whom they should send to prison for two months. This was the nature of a criminal offence in Leland.—(Cheers.) By virtue of an order•, delivered in any manner the Lord-Lieutenant pleased, and at any time, a man attending a meeting in the remotest part of the kingdom might be imprisoned by a Magistrate fur two months. The lion, Member for South Durham said the right of petition was not extinguished in Ireland : to be sure, if they licked the hand that struck them— (Cheers)—if they crouched submissively before injury and insult, and praised those who dealt out scorn and !strong, they would be allowed to petition—(Hear, hear) a.•'iut if they acted a free and manly part, they would be declared criminals by an order issued behind their backs, and without notice.—(Cheering.) Again, suppose a meeting prohibited ; any continuations of it by the same persons or any part of them became illegal under the Bill; to) that should any fancied similarity ever appear between the words or acts of a meeting and one formerly prohibited, or should some persons, no matter how few, who had been present at the former, attend at the latter, a packed jury would be easily found to declare it a continuation of the prohibited meeting. In fact, there was no meeting in Ireland that was not at the absolute control of the Lord- Lieutenant. But even the mode of petition suggested by the Member for South Durham was not free ; he spoke of two or three persons assembling to frame a petition, but two persons constituted a meeting, and therefore came under the grasp of the Bill —(No, no ; and loud spry ton s of effence and disapprobation from the Treasury benches.) No, no! he asserted the direct opposite.— (The same symptoms of offence again became general.) He was glad to see this conduct. He arraigned such despotic conduct in the presence of the British nation.—(Continued cries of disapprobation; among these was conspicuous a peculiar noise, of which sonic section may be formed by pronouncing the following word e — Awastweaw-aw-acv.) He (Mr. O'Connell) would still sots-eel, that two persons constituted a meeting; nay more ----that two persons would constitute part of a prohibited Association, and should they meet, it would, to all legal intents and purposes, under the Bill, be a meeting of that Asseciation; his Majesty's Government appeared to ply too little attention to the opinions of the people. They should remember that when they were thrown nut of office, tie Irish and English people forced their continuance there. By their subsequent acts, however, they had totally lost the confidence of the Irish people, and he thought they were fist losing the confidence of the English people too.—(No, no, and Hear.) At all events he was sure of this, that they de served to lose it ; and the very men whom they were dragging through the mire of despotism with them, would be the first to blame their conduct when the feeling of the people displayed itself. The clause declared that meet ings should he prevented on the order of the Lord Lieu tenant. Now he should like to know what was the meaning of order?" How was it to be exprea-ed ? Io whet manner was it to lie tirade known ? Ede knew what an order was in a Court if Justiee. There it was a rule of Court, and the record of it was fair hfully pre served. A military order was entered on the orderly book ; but what the order o• the Lord L i eutenant was to be he knew not, except it was Iris single tiat given in any wools in which he might choose to convey his mean ing. The nature of the power given to the Lord.Lieu ti nant was to enable him to declare what meetings were iilegtl. The clause enabled him to prevent any meeting dangerous to the public peace or safety, or inconsisten with the due administration of the law. Now, did Hon. Members imagine that the Lord-Lieutenant would confine the exercise of his power to such meetings ?—(Yes. ) Then he would say that it dd not require that Act to emit& the Lord Lieutenant to do so. He had that power al ready. All such meetings were clearly illegal, and all ille gal meetings mieht be put down by common law. In support of this view he referred to the opinion of Lord Redesdale, who opposed the Bill of 1829 directed against the Catholic Associ 'lion, and entered a protest against it on that very ground Lord Eldon had also expressed a similar opinion. Why, then, should they give that Magis trate the power of putting down other meetings? Why should they give him the power of suppressing innocent meetings?—(Hear.) This was what the people of Ireland had to apprein rid. Even all charitable meetings might he suppr. rood. The fate of 2,500 of phans might depend upon it. It was said that polit.cs were discussed at these mee ings. They generally wt re ; but it was requisite that some excit ng topics should tie alluded to, in order to induce people to be present. Toe red object, however, of the Bill was to put down agitation for repeal of the Union jest was to put driven the Volunteers and all associa tions of the people. It had been said that the Volunteer Association was an illegal one ; but the blatant that could be pros', d it should be given up. The number of Mem bers was very limited ; but it was said that it was intended to be more widely spread. It was so, and one of its main objects was to form a sort of domestic association in the disturbed districts, to put down Whitefeet outrages. If their object was to put down the agitation for the repeal of the Union, this Act might enable them to accomplish their purpose; but would they, by so doing, put don n the desire for that repeal ?—(Hear, hear.) If it was the de sire of the House to put down the de.ire for repeal, was it by exhibiting such a striking difference between the treatment of England and Ireland that they t xpected to uhtain their end ? Was it by a sort of Irish reciprocity— all on one side? Was it by giving liberty to England and despotism to Ireland ? The Irish were a shrewd, observant people ; and what, be asked, must be the result of this ? He would venture to prophesy that fur one Rep, aler mow, this Bill would create one hundred.—(Hear.) 'Cutler these circumstances, he objected to this clause. Mr. STANLEY complained of the unfair manner in which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had opposed the clause. As to the objection respecting the mode of giving the order by the Lord Lieutenant, he had carefully kept out of sight the distinct pledge given by the Government that such order should ❑ot be verbal.—(Hear.) His oh aervatioo with respect to two persons constituting a meet ing savoured very strongly of special pleading.—(Hear.) Such a circumstance was by no means either the spirit or intention of the Act which applied to meetings dan gerous to the public peace, or to the proper administration of justice. The Bill did not oppose itself to charitable meetings. But if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman made use of those charitable meetings merely as a pretext—if he introduced fierce political discussions on exciting t pies .--then he would say it was right to provide in the Bill against such an evasion. —(Cheers.) But on behalf of himself arid his colleagues, he repudiated the charge of endeavouring to put down any charitable associations.— (Hear.) Another of the Ilion. and Learned Gentleman's arguments was founded on the assumption that the law, as it at present stood, wascapable of putting down all illegal meetings. But he would ask the Hon. and Learned Gentle man whether the Volunteer Association was illegal ? If it was illegal, they could doubtless put it down. But if not—he wou d ask was it safe—was it not dangerous to the public safety, and to the then administration of the laws, and ought it not to be suppressed ?—(Cheers.) Much had been said as to infrin g ia g on the right of the subject to petition. N ow nothing could be further from the wish of his Majesty's Government than to put down the ex pression of the opinion of the people, when that opinion was peaceably e xpressed.—(Hear.) But he must confess that he did not feel that greet respect for the petition s apinst the Bill with which the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman Lad threatened to inundate them, when he con,i_ dered the manner in which they bad been obtained---L-1:1;- cular letters had been sent all over Ireland by the Velun- leers, with several forma of petition, requesting active persons in every place to get them signed. Now he would not complain at this; but when he considered the system of intimidatian and menace which prevailed in Ireland, he must confess that he could not yield to them that respect which he should pay to the spontaneous end unbiassed ex pression of the opinions of the people of Ireland. The circular also announced that it was about to take mea sures for its extension—and that a paper of instruction would he forwarded to them, according to the suggestions of Mr. O'Connell, pointing nut tie best method of pro ceeding to establish courts of arbitration—nod specially for the better collection of the national rent.—( Hear.) These circumstance a, in his opinion, took away much of that weight which he would otherwise have attached to the petitions which had been presented to that House. Th.. existence of an association, extending its ramifications into 11 parts of Ireland, allowing nothing to be exempt from its inquisitorial influence, reporting all its proceed•ns to one great head and centre in Dublin, and endeavouring to monopol ze in i a own hands all the functions of Govern inert—if not in itself abseoutely illegal, must, at least, be allowed to b e totally inconsistent with the due administra tion of the laws. The plain quastion as to the course wt ieh Parliament ought to pursue might he reduced to a single point. Will this Hou•e permit the association of Irish votunteem to triumph over convitutional law? He did not extend these observationa to the disturbances which had taken place in Ireland ; he allud. d to political agitation, and to those bodies which he considered inconsistent with regular Government. He stated this, bee .use he wished the question to be put clearly and distinctly. The Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin wished to know what ef ,ect these measures were likely to have upon the question of the repeal of the Union. Whatever effect they might have, he believed that Parliament would feel it to he their duty to suppress these symptoms of diiinrgarCzation— (Cheers)—and by doing so, he was convinced that they would suppress that cry for repeal, which was founded on mere clamour, on the declamation of itinerant avitatora—on the constant outcry raised against the Sassenagh and the stranger—on the violent opinions which day by day, and wesk by week are impressed upon the public mind by associations and delegates, and which make the question of the repeal of the Union not a sober matter of opinion and of calm judgment, but the cry of party and of passion, sup ported, he maintained, by vast numbers of the lower classes, who dared not for their lives hold or express a contrary opinion —who, he added, if they did frame a different opinion, dared not express it. If the measure had any effect upon the repeal of the Union, the suppression of these abuses would be its effect. If the Bill were despo tic, its object was to prevent a more intolerable despo tism.—(Cheers.) It was a measure called for by the whole of the higher classes, by most of the middling classes—aye, even by many of those who signed petitions against it, and by a great number of the lowest classes in Ireland, It was not a measure of despotism and oppres sion, but a measure of protection and safety. Mr. O'CONNELL, amid cries of " Question," ob served that it was exceedingly easy to make assertions. He (Mr. O'Connell) knew Ireland better than the Right Hon. Gentleman ; and he ought also to have a deeper in terest in its prosperity.—(Murmurs.) He did not mean any offence. He had said he ought to have a deeper interest in the prosperity of Ireland than the Right Hon. Gentleman. His only regret was, that the assertions of the Right Hon. Gentle i , an was taken for proofs—his insinuations were received as arguments—and his misstatements as con vincing reasons of the necessity of establishing a despotism in Ireland. He would bring the Right Hon. Gentleman's statements to the test. He had spoken much of the in fluence which the volunteers had had in guiding the public mind with respect to the repeal of the Union; but what was the fact ? They were established but three weeks before the sitting of Parliament. The Right Hon. Gen tleman wished to know his opinion, whether the esta blishment of the volunteers was legal or not. In his opi nion it was not il'eeal. The Right Hon. Gentleman then ,eked whether such an institution was not dangerous to the Government, and he was cheered by the House. He asked whether it was not unsafe for the people, and he was cheered ; he asked whether it did not interfere with the administration of the law, and he was cheered—that is to say, the House was convinced of these three particu lars. Now he (Mr. O'Connell) would admit, that if the association was liable to any one of these objections, it ought to he suppressed, but the laws possessed sufficient powers already in that case for suppressing it. The Right Hon. Gentleman, however, brings no proof of his asser tions ; he had not shown that they had influenced juries. Huzzaing was all very well when they thought they had a right to put down the liberties of Ireland—(Hear) — hut what advantage did Ireland ever derive from bar con nexion with this country? Again and again she had been sul+cted to confiscation, to massacre, to oppression, to the ..inlation of all law. This had she derived from tier con nexion %sill this country, anal these were things which had not been done in u ciner. Would any Government ut that of the Rig' t Hon. Secretary have came down to th e House with such a tale ? The national rent had also been talked of, :and it appeared that some personal motives were attributed to him (Mr. O'Connell). Mr. STANI EY disclaimed any such intention. Mr. O'CONNELL proceeded—lt had been said that the lower orders required to be coerced. Do you, he ask, d, apply a blister to a sore? Do you employ irritation to bring about tranquillity ? Do you use a scourge to pro duce qui-t ? You deceive yourselves. H.- , concluded— (Ami .st cries of " Hear, hear")—this measure will not stop the repeal of the Union. The F-Inioie then divid e d, when there app. ired— For the clause Against it Majority —232 The Ruse th, a proceeded to the o...spiel-Atm f the second clause, which proposes to enact that any two cr more Justices of the Peace should have the power of di, pt•r•ing any meeting, and that any person contravening their coder in this respect shill liahle to an imprisonin nt of three calendar months, and on a second offence for one whole year. Mr. O'CONNELL objected to that part of the clause which authorized M :gistrates to force their way into any Louse in which they shou!d hive reason to believe that any prohil ire,' tm eting was h.ld, as being much too vague, as giving too great a discretion to Magistr awe, and affording no redress to individuals wrongfully ap prehended. Mr S. RICE said, that although the 111a2istrates tnuat act on their own disciethm, they would be responsible to ,h e Lord- I.iewenant of the county. Mr. SHAW observed, that if Mauistrates were not considered worthy of confidence, let them be struck out o f tl e comotismion. Mr. O'CONNELL stated, that he had a further ob jection to this clause. By the first clause, ev. ry person present at a prohibited meeting was to he deemed gui ty of a misdemeanor, and was to be tried and punished ac cording to the course of the common law. By the se cond clause, any prison who did net d part from such meeting within a quarter of an hour from the time of the notice of the Magistr .tes to do so, was to be proceeded against in a summary way, before any two Justices of the Peace, and imprisoned for three months, and for a second, or any subsequent offence, for one year. To this sum mary jurisdiction on the part of the Magistrates he most strongly objected. Mr. SHEIL was observing, that Hi Maksty's Govern treat theicselves showed that they hal no confidence in llagistratvs by proposing to call in soldiers to execute the functions of Migistrates, when— Mr. STANLEY begged pinion for interrupting the Hon. and Learned Gentleman ; adding, that if the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin acquiesced in the earlier part of this clause, his Majesty's Government would be disposed to yi• Id the other point, and to exchange the summary jurisdiction fur trial by jury. Mr. O'CONNELL could not acquiesce in any part of the clause, although he would not have recourse to the desperate expedient of a division. On the motion that the clause stand part of the Bill, Mr. O'CONNELL asked if it was understood that the summary jurisdiction of the magistrates was taken away, and the trial by jury substituted ? Mr. STANLEY replied in the affirmative. The clause, with !he adoption of a verbal amendment proposed by Mr. Sergeant Perrin, was then ordered to stand part of the Bill. The third clause, providing that persons prosecuted by nd ctment should plead forthwith, was then read. Mir. Sergeant PERRIN, observing that it was his inten 'ion to resist, to the utmost, the provision of ti.e Bill for lubmitting offences within the Act to courtsmarti•,l, moved an amendment to the effect that the accused should have the privilege of the traverse in prox. After a short conveo.ation, however, in which Lord Althorp, Mr. O'Connell, and Mr. Wynn participated, the Hon. and Learned Member withdrew his amendment. The cliume was then ordered to stand part of the Bill. Lord ALTHORP observed, that as the Committee had now finished that part of the Bill which related to offences connected with political agitation, it might he expedient to go no farther to-night, but that the Chairman do report progress. This proposal was generally assented to, and the House havinv been resumed, Mr. BERNAL reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Mo .day. REGISTERING BARRISTERS. Mr. S. RICE explained, that in consequence of the omission of the words " Consolidated Fund," in the Re form Act, the Treasury, though directed to pay the re- gistering barristers, had been unable to do so, without a specific vote. The barristers had borne their expenses out of their own pockets, and those, as well as the stipu lated allowances, ought, without delay, to be discharged; he therefore wished the House to resolve itself into a Committee of Supply for the purpose of agreeing to a re solution to thst effect. The House accordingly went into Committee. Mr. S. RICE said that the accounts of the barristers had been very carefully gone through, and they all ac corded with a certain scale of fees and expenses, which the Treasury had established after due consideration. He moved " That 30 5001. be granted to his Majesty to pay the allowances and expenses of barristers, employ e d to review the lists of voters under the Reform Act." In answer to a question from Mr. ROEBUCK, Mr. S. RICE added, that the chat ge of some few Hi tire barristers exceeded those which the Treasury had thouAt it right to fix as the maximum, and that the accounts nf other b risters were below it : the first had been reduc , d, but of course it had not hen deemed necessary to raise the last. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL w.ts of opinion that only a rea-onahle compensation had been given. Mr. S RICE said that in no case inure than a guinea per day for expenses, and 2s. per mile for travelling, had been allowed. Mr. SHEIL wished to know if the Irish barristers em ployed in the same way had ❑ot been paid less ; viz., five guineas per day for their allowance, and one guinea per day fur expenses. ineludiog travelling? Mr. S RICE observed. that the expense of registering in Irel ,nd hat been 12,0001 , which was more in propor tion than for the rest of the kingdom. M. STANLEY thoug•Ht that the name rate of pay ment had been adopted in both countrie-. Mr. HUME wished to know whet .er any arrangement had been made for the futon ? He thoug t that each place or district oug it to pay its own expenses of regis tration. Lord ALTHORP said that, as the payment was gene rally out of the taxes, all parts of the kiogiloiu paid a just proportion. . . - The SOLICITOR•GENERAL apprehended that the expense would be considerably less the next time the aid of the barristers was required. The resolution was then agreed to, and the House was resumed,—Report on Monday. TEA. Mr. HUTT was anxious to be informed why in London only tea duty free was allowed to be furnished to shipping? He thought, at all events, the same privilege ought to be extended to the outports. Mr. S. ItICE replied, that the custom arose out of an Act of Parliament, which gave the privilege to the port of London only. STAMP AND AUCTION DUTIES. Mr. COBBETT asked when the Noble Lord would be prepared to bring in his promised Bill relating to the stamp and auction duties. If Ministers did not take some step in the business, he would acain move his resolution, amended and improved, on the first Monday in April. He should propose that the Attorney and Solicitor-General be direct ed to prepare and bring in the Bi 1. Lord ALTHORP said that a Bill was in preparation, and that, when ready, no time should be lost in intro. ducing it. Mr. COBBETT observed that, as the Noble Lard had so much to do, and he so lit, le to do, if the Bill of 'Mi nisters were not ready by the first Monday i❑ April, he (Mr. Cobbett) would be ready with a Bill of his own, by the 20th April. SCOTCH CORPORATIONS. On the motion of the LORI) ADVOCATE, the Scotch Corporations Bill was read a second time. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE and several other Members urged the Noble and Learned Lord to bring in a Bill to regul ite other corporations besides the Royal Burghs. After some conversation, the measure was referred to th» following Select Committee : Jeffrey, Rt. Hon. F. Bannerman, A. Fazakerly, J. N. Kennedy, I'. F. Johnstone, A. Kinloch, G. Sharpe, General Heron, Sir H. Fergusson, R. Abercrombie, Right Hon. J. Johnstone, Sir J. V. Hay, Major L. Ewing, J. Oswald, J. Morrison, J. Wallace, R. Seuart, R. Ross, H. Warre, J. A. Millie, J.

Villiers, Lord Pease, Joseph Mr. KENNEDY brought in a Bill . to amend the prac t ce of the Scotch Exchequer ; and another to extend the jurisdiction of the Sheriff's Court.—They were read a first and second time. The other ord.rs of the day were then disposed of, and the Hause adjourned at two o'clock. DIVISION on Mr. O'CONNELL'S AMENDMENT to the FIRST CLAUSE of the IRISH COERCIVE BILL. " Provided always, That it shall not be lawful or competent for any Lord Lieutenant or other Chief Governor erf Ireland, by any such order, to prohibit or suppress any meeting convened or held, or to be convened or held, for the bona fide and ex clusive purpose of agreeirg to or procuring, in a peaceable man ner, a petition to the King or to either House of Parliament, Mr the redress of any actually existing grievance in Church or State, and provided that notice in writing of such meeting shall have been given to the Secretary of the Lord Lieutenant, or other Chief Governor or Governors of Ireland, or in his absence to the Under Secretary, eating in such notice the day, hour, and place of hulling such meeting for the purpose thereof, ten nays before the day of holding the same."

We are told that it was generally asserted in the well-informed circles, that M. DEDEL, the new Dutch envoy, bad already failed in the object of his mission, and that he would, in all probability, return to Holland, in comp-any with Baron ZUYLEN DE NYEVELT, whose de parture has been deferred only for a few days. It was generally thought in the City yester day, that the West India body would receive sonic com municati..n from Government as this day, upon the sub ject of the slave emancipation ques , ion. A general meeting of the standing committee of the West India proprietors will be held on Tuesday. OXFORD ELECTION, MARCH 15. The candidates are Mr. HUGHES HUGHES, whose principles are liberal ; Mr. TowNLEY, a Roman Catholic ; and Mr. MACLEAN, a Conservative. The polling com menced this morning at nine o'clock, and was carried on briskly by all p r ties. The following was the cln'e of the first day% poll i—TowNLET, 450 ; HUGHES, 618 ; 11ACLEAN, 385. Number of electors polled, 1,453. DOVER ELECTION. The election terminated on Thursday, in favour of Mr. Halcombe. The poll was closed, at eleven o'clock, at the proposal of Ciptain Stanhope, who found that he could not bring up a sufficient number of votes to cover the majority his opponent had gained on the previous day, al though, we are informed, he had promises to a much greater amount. How the persons, who have attached so little weight to their promises they made, can vindicate their unprincipled conduct, we are at a loss to conjecture; but the prominent cause of the defeat of Captain Stanhope, and the independent piety that supported him, was the de;rading and unnatural connexion that was formed by the Conset vatives of Dov r with Mr. Halcombe. These, to a man, to our surprise (for we had given them credit f.r more consistency) came out in his support. slinking up to the poll, ashamed of their act, amidst the derision of both lie contending parties, and giving their votes to him who ad over and over again belab oared them with the grossest vilifications. They have put their own sell oo the character he has frequently affixed to them. They have shown t• emselves worthy of the contempt whic'i he hats 80 repeatedly end avoured to bring upon them, but which this, their last and most flagr int violation of all p: inciple, has tended, more than all he could say, to do. The return of Mr. H dcombe is the work of the Conserva tives ; they already blush fur their own conduct, but they have demonstrated an apt and convenient mode of verifying the r own prophecies on the Reform Bill, by the quality of the person they have sent to Parliament. We give them joy of their new M.P. ; he and his consistent sup porters reflect equal honour on each other, however other wise opposed to the question of the ballot. We hesitate not to say that the worthy C nservatives, who gave Mr. Holcombe their support, would gladly have availed them selves of such a mask for their political deformities.—Kexit Herald. ASSESSED TAXES. On Thursday night a meeting of- the Deputies from the City, from Westminster, Marylebone, the Tower Hamlets, Lambeth, Shadwell, and other• places in the vicinity of the Metropolis, was held at the British Hotel, Cockspur street, for the purpose of devising the best means of for warding a petition to Parliament for the repeal of the Assessed Taxes. Sir John Key, Bart., who has given notice of a motion on the subject, which stands for the 22d of this month attended the meeting, for the pur pose of ascertaining the sentiments of the Deputies, about eighty of whom were in attendance. Mr. MORTIMER, of St. James's-street, in the Chair. Mr. C. PEARSON, one of the City Deputies, said that it had been suggested to Sir .1. Key to defer his motion until the Chancellor of the Exchequer had brought for ward the Budget. He, however, thought the motion should be pressed upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the day named, because. by doing so, some promise might be wrung from the Noble Lou] as to a reduction of these taxes. He had been down to the House of Com mons that evening, and found that they were in the act of reading a Bill a third time, the object of which was to give the Duke of Newcastle no less a sum dm' 21,0001., as compensation for the loss of his house, which the meeting would recollect was fired some time ago. This house was rated at the sum of 1501. only; yet bore was a bill by which the sum of 21,0001. was to be levied up on the hundred of Brocliston, to remunerate this wealthy Nobleman for the loss of a house that ought to have been rated at five times the amount of the assessment actually paid. It appeared that the Duke had brought his action against the hundred for 42,0001., but that he was adjudged to be entitled to only half that amount, and he therefore applied to the House of Commons for the difference. He (Mr. Pearson) had met Mr. Mathias Attwo: d, as he was coining out of the House of Commons, and asked him if he was aware of the nature of the Bill, which he ex plained to him. " What stage is it in ?" asked Mr. Att wood. " Why, it is to he read a third time," was his (Mr. Pears , n's) response; upon which Mr Attwood ob served, " Weil, lam glad it leas got so far through !" being the only remark the Hon. Gent'eman t usted himself to make.—(lf any argument were wanting to show the gross injustice of the Assessed Taxes, the instance which he had adduced was quite sufficient for the purpose. Mr. Adeoek, Mr. Brown, Mr. Stephens, and Mr. Wild took the same view of the st.thject as Mr C. Pearson ; and a Resolution was agreed to, to the effect that the Meeting deemed it expedient that Sir J. Key should bring forward his Motion before the Budget. Sir J. KEY said, that after what Ee had heard, he begged to say he should bring forward his motion o❑ the 22d instant; but, if circumstances should arise to induce hint to postpone it beyond that rime, it would be only for day or two. At all events, be would bring it en before the sth of April. He begg.d to assure the meet ing, that he would do all in his power to relieve his fellow-citizens from so unjust a tax.—(Cheers.) Adjuu rued. • COURT CIRCUt AR. Hi , MAJESTY, attended by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, ar rived in town bout one o'clock yesterday afternoon, from the Palace at Windsor.

The United States have attracted very general attention of late; the conflicting opinions of recent tra vellers in this interesting quarter of the globe are some what perplexing. In the last number of the " Monthly Review," is given an able analysis of the several writers, which concludes in these words :—" We think the volume sf M. MURAT (" Moral and Political Sketch of the United States") by far the best. He is a much more able man than Mr. STUART; his views are more enlarged, and his acquaintance with mankind much more intimate. His opinions are well expressed, the topics on which he writes are well selected and arranged, and we recommend bid book to every one who is desirous of obtaining infor2 mation relative to the Union." KILKENNY, NlARcit 13. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESFONDENT.) At our assizes to-day, the first trial which came on was that of a Whitefoot, named Tobin, for aid ing in the murder of a policeman named Tighe. A point of much nicety saved the prisoner from the capital charge. It was made by Mr. HAtchell. It was this. The prisoner had been taken into custody by the police two or three minutes before the shot, from his party, was fired, which caused the death of the policeman. Counsel for the prisoner con tt-nded, that he was incapacitated from being an accessary to any subsequent act, from the mo ment he was taken into custody. Baron Foster said he should reserve the point for the twelve judges, if he w;•re driven to it; but the Crown abandoned the capital charge on condition of making the prisoner indictable for all that took place pre vious to his being taken into custody. Ten Whitefeet were then, in a body, put on their trial for attacking the house of a man named Kavanagh, and administering an unlawful oath to him. The trial lasted four or five hours, and the case rested principally on the testimony of a young man named Henry Hyland, an apps over. After a long charge from the Judge, they were all found guilty. An indictment was then read against Thomas Steele (who has come down to this c , unty a, a pdcl ficAtor). It was for using seditious language in a speech of his—calling the Whigs tyrants-13rougham a miscreant—and siieg he cared as little for the King as a man in a tripe shop, and twenty other things—teat if O'Connell ordered the people to take him (S eele) as a leader—if O'Connell felt it necessary—would they take him, and his answer was, that some of them said they would follow him to the gates of hell. He was called en to plead, and he used, in a tone of defiance, blended with de rision, these extraordinary words before the Counsel. " I cannot see how I can plead; for in what I have heard read there is such a mass of atrocious false hood, blended with some truth, that I am at a loss how to act." It was fieally allowed by the Court, to his (Mr. Steele's) Counsel, that he might wait till to-morrow. Mr. S eele in the meantime traversed in prox (next assize or commission). A poor fellow, named Wallace, was convicted of demanding arms from a policeman. Steele, through Counsel, told the Judge that Wallace was one of the first men who gave him up arms. Baron Foster—How much did he give up ? Mr. Steele (speaking himself)—One gull, my Lord, and I promised that I would mention the circum stance to the presiding Judge with a view of in ducing him to remit the prisoner's sentence. Baron Foster said that he had no power, but that it afforded ground for the prisoner to present a memorial to Government. PARLIAMENTA RY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.
