The John Dull sneers at the office of Postmaster-Ge neral for England anti Ireland being vested in the one per son, and we perceive that a Morning Contemporary adopts the sneer as far as copying the paragraph. The Duke of Richmond, we believe, receives no salary from the Irish division of his office; and, if his remunera tion be the patronage of that department, hie Grace's cha racter is sufficient security that the patronage will be exer cised to the benefit of the public. The several Boards connected with other branches of the revenue i❑ Ireland have been swept away, and yet the Join Bull does not whisper a complaint against what, ii at all an injury to the public service, must be greater, be yond all cAnparison, than that which could follow from the consolidation of the Po.t-office departments under one head. The Duke of Richmond, we daseat not, will oc casionally visit this member of his office, and when he (lees, an ardent and sincere welcome will greet bins from all the King's loyal subjects, who remember his Grace's revered and lamented father. But, if he shal not, we believe it will not he questioned that the General Post office of Ireland will at least be as well conducted, and all its relations between the people and the State as honestly and honourably governed by its justly esteemed and re spected Secretary, Sir Edward Lees, as any other of the public departments consigned to the management of obscure, ignorant, and presumptuous English clerks, who, before they came to this country, despised it because they did not know it, and who are themselves now despised by the country for the opposite and better grounds, that they are known. A better public officer never existed than Sir Edward Lees, and never was public acknowledgment of individual and official worth more justly called for and awarded than the recent address so honourably voted to him by the guild of merchants, " Under evil report and good rep-art," in all the fluctuations of circumstances and feeling in this dis tracted country, the Secretary to the General Pest-office has been universally respected and esteemed. Against him there has been no demonstration of party hostility, because pursuing the "even termer" of his du'y, he never gave to his office a partially political character, and because even the enemies of Government and our institutions could not, were they so inclined, direct their factious malevolence against him, without an overwhelming moral re-action on themselves. Never was there a man in office more gene rally and deservedly popular, nor any in whose efficiency and integrity to supply a superior authority (although it were more than nominal) could be more worthy of indi vidual and public trust and confidence.—Dublin Warder. MR. O'CONNELL-MR. WALLACE. The following is the reply of Mr. O'Connell to the letter of Mr. Wallace, which appeared in the Register of Thursday morning : " Alerrion-square, Jan. 19. " Ml' DEAR WALLACE,-Permit me at least this once to address you in terms which I exceedingly regret have ever been unusual between us. It shall not be my fault if they shall ever again be altered. " I accept with pride and pleasure your manly and generous offer. lam deeply grateful for it. " I ant proud to have the support of a man, who, during a long professional career, and in times of great subserviency, ever maintained the manly independence of his own character, and won his way to the highest station in forensic business, without any other means than those which liberality sanctioned, and professional and personal humour justified and dictated—and won that high station by the single exertion of professional talent and i n .. tegrity. " I am proud of having the support of a man, whose reputation for learning in the criminal law stands second to no other in the profession. " Believe me to le, with heartfelt gratitude, respectfully and affectionately, your faithful servant, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " Thomas Wallace, Egq." . _ " Your letter is too vatuaLle not to give it publicity. A friend of mine has it in his hand for that purpose. It will appear to-morrow, without even permission ; but on my sole responsibility." Shortly after the receipt of the above letter the following note was forwarded to Mr. O'Connell ; but before it was written the Pilot had announced the manly and disinterested offer of Mr. Wallace.— The subjoined reply of Mr. O'Connell to the second communication of Mr. Wallace exhibits the work ings of a sensitive mind, influenced by strong feel ings of esteem and gratitude:— " Stephen's-green, Jan. 19. " MY DEAR SIR,—On consideration, I think it better not to publish my letter to you : not that I have any o b.. jection to avow my sentiments, but I deem it better on the whole that they should appear only on the trial, bhould the prosecutor be so unwise as to proceed. I beg of you, therefore, not to publish my letter.—Faithfully your'e, " THOMAS WALLACE. " To Daniel O'Connell, El." " Merrion-Nuare, Jan. 19. "MY DEAR SIR,—I do not know whether I was ever more afflicted than I was at the receipt of your second letter. I left a copy of the first with my friend, who awaited my son's return from your house, and as the con versation with you implied no prohibition, but left me to act on my own s o l e r e spon s ibility, without, of cour se , in volving you, h e , i n m y a b se nce, committed it this even i ng to the pr e ss. I was a bsent at a meeting in G range Gorman-lane, and the moment I returned, and found your second letter before me, I sent off to stop the press, but was a full hour too late. " Dictate to me what I shall do now. I will, in the newspapers, take on myself the publication of the letter without your knowledge or consent. I will exonerate you in the fullest and most satisfactory manner from any participation whatsoever in the publication. In short, point out any thing you wish, and I will do it ; and I im plore you not to impute to me this as a fault, which I solemnly aver was, under the circumstances, a pure accident. " Entreating your forgiveness, offering you all and every atonement in my power, believe me always and for ever your devotedly grateful and most sincere servant, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " Thos. Wallace, Esq." It is calculated that the county rate for Hamp shire will this year be more than quadrupled by the late unfortunate occurrences. FIRE AT CHOWLEY, NEAR BARNHILL.- On Monday evening, about six o'clock, a stack of straw belonging to Mr. AIGORCROFT, in Chov,iey, near Barnhill, and about eleven miles from this city, was discovered to be on fire. By considerable exertkns the flames were pre vented from spreading to other stacks and a building con tiguous. We have heard that a strange man was seen about the premises immediately before the fire was dis covered.— Chester Courant. ' THE RUSSIAN CHOLERA MORBOS.-It ap pears, by the following extract of a letter, dated St. petersburgh, January 6, that the disorder which is now devastating some of the fairest provinces of the Russian Autocrat, turns out to be, as originally predicted, the plague :—" There is now not the least doubt but that the dreadful visitation with which it has pleased Providence to afflict us is the confirmed plague. It has just carried off our worthy friend Colonel PAxSWITZ, with his two sons, and his wife is hourly expected to tall a victim to its de structive influence. Abscesses were formed under the arm-pits, and in various other parts of their bodies, which, together with other symptoms, leave no doubt as to the fatal nature of the disease. Dr. FRANCISCO Hoyt- MANN NIEBER, private physician to the EMPEIWit, has at length arrived at the conclusion that what we have hitherto imagined to be the " cholera morbus of India" is the Turkish plague, in its most destructive form. Thus we are now reaping the cursed effects of the invasion of the Empire of the GRAND SEIONOR, to satisfy the un bounded ambition of the CZAR," COUNTY OF DO WN MEETING. (From the Belfast Northern Whig.) On Thursday last, the 20th inst., a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the freeholders of the county of Down was held, agreeably to requisition, in the Courr-house of Downpatrick, NICHOLAS CHARLES WHYTE, Esq. High Sheriff, in the Chair. The HIGH SHERIFF read the requisition, and briefly explained the objects of the meeting. Mr. HUGH WeLeecte was requested to act a, S ecre , ary. Mr. OGILVIE rose to propose the first resolution. He had always been a R-former, but never had he seen any prospect of success until now ; and it i, on account of the opening there is at present appa rent, that he was impelled to leave his elbow chain by his fire-side, to address the freeholders of the county. He was in his 89th year, and might, there fore, claim their indulgence, from his advanced age. —(Loud cheers.) He had seen Reform opposed, as it will, perhaps, he now, by the two Houses of Parliament ; he had seen it opposed by the 'Ministry and the Crown; but now the case is different — now we have a virtuous Ministry, setting at defiance the two Houses —holding up Reform to the people, and calling on them for encouragement and assist ance. They hail a powerful opp .neat in the Duke of Wellington ; and he was grieved at it. At one time he had been the boast of the nation—the pride of the country—the conqueror of Napoleon—the bestower of peace and happiness upon all; but he has embarked against Reform, and given up all his honours to become the leader of a faction of place men and pensioners. If he hail not been fettered by the Aristocracy, he would never have relinquished the interests of the people; but he is bound to resist Reform; he i, bound in honour to support his party against his King—that King who has nobly and gloriously joined his Ministry in Reform.—(Cheers.) It is to enable the King and Ministry to carry into effect these great blessings that we are at present met. The King is the noble capital of the pillar, but the people are its base. L , t us then feel our own importance—cur own weight—and our own consequence ; we are superior to all power in the state, for it is from the freeholders anti labouring, classes that all power, authority, and government in the realm are allowed and ought to emanate. Mr. E. S. RUTIIVEN, 111. P., agreed, that, until lately, the prospects of carrying Reform were very slight indeed. At present, we have strong reason to hope for a consummation of that great measure; and, without it, we cannot expect peace and pros perity for our country.—(Cheers.) lie would not enter into details on his opinions respecting the sort of Reform he thought necessary ; but he could not avoid mentioning, that he conceived a period of three years the longest, during which any Parlia ment should be constituted.—(Repeated cheering.) It was unparliamentary to condemn the present Par liament ; but he might at least speak freely of the former one, and he would say, that a more corrupt one could scarcely exist. By pensions, and sine cures, they had ruined the people. iSloney had been lavished, in the most extravagant manner, in pensioning, not only themselves, but their brothers, their cousins, their children, and even their grand children. We do not yet know the extent of such pensions. A list of them had been published; but it was \Veil known that it was not perfect, and he hoped the House of Commons would be !realest enough to have it so completed, that we should be able to see the full extent of such corruptions. It was a disgraceful circum stance, that Peers received salaries for situations as Clerks in several Courts, in which they could not even appear, consistently with their character. He did not wish that the servants of Government sure eulte peopledhnotbe "ffi di c d i e ntl not y 14, provided t._ f ( o c r, h e a e n r d s. ) he was G.. vernment should amp l y pro vide for them ; and, when they became old in the dischar g e of their dut y , they should be provided with the means of livin g in the enjoyment of those comforts to which t he y had been accustomed.—(Hear.) The country does not wish to pull down the comforts of the hard-working public men; it does not wish to take away the pen sions from those who have bled in the service of their country, or from the widows and children of those who have died in the defence of it. It wished to fly at nobler game. He hoped that Reform would produce such a modification of the tithe sys tem, as would do justice both to the clergy and the people. lie hoped, also, to see a complete revision of the Grand Jury laws, which have been so pro ductive of mischief, depravity, and immorality, and so and peculation.— (C i le m e ( i l e u . c ) tive ll o e f f l r r a o u u d lCf el t i a ic k l e ne t l ine ' liberty of saying, that he thought Reform would be best pro moted by peace, by supporti ng t h e Mi n i stry, an d by avoiding agitation calculated to disturb the public tranquillity ; still, however, preserving the sacred right of petitioning.—(Loud cheers.) He would be glad all parts of the country were in as good a con dition as the North. Our industry had sustained ue. It was a delusion to suppose that Parliament could, by an Act, give bread to the hungry. It v ' e lrid nient ; but we must exert ‘ P l i ' me is ri l t : yr tO be i n p rosper i ty . An order personal liberty, and af fordocvsot, al u rss l delfliao%s,ceevitsic,i,utsiirtefeespv,pfp,oeriorn g forward t o assume i ts proper p l ace in society—he meant the middle order of the people. This order was now recognized, though there were inan. , w h o would trample o n it. lie was proud to rank himself in it. (Loed cheers.) He would de vote his best energies to promote their interests. An Aristocracy, lost in luxury, were incapable of think ing for themseleee, much less for promoting the in terests of the people. Mr. Ruthven concluded, amid loud cheers, by seconding the resolution ; w hi c h was put and carried unanimously. Mr. MONTGOMERY, of Rosemount, begged to move the next resolution; and as it was merely a declaratory one, on which to found others, he would merely say, that what would best tend to ameliorate t h e country, would be, putting down the Oligarchy, who threatened to put down both the King and the people.—(Cheers.) "Mr. 3PCANct: seconded the resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. 111 r. A. PILsoN, in proposing the next resolution, sa id, Sir, it is matter of gratulation to reflect, that we are assembled, not to impede the measures of Government, nor to cast obstacles in the way of its general progress; but, on the contrary, for the pur pose of cheering forward the Administration of Lord Grey, in their glorious and patriotic career of regenerating the country. Amidst tine numerous details comprised in the general plan of Reform, we find the anomalous circumstance of the close bo roughs and corrupt corporations, both of which are sß s lt v%B O , ihie,r o poh h rtaeh v ors i eee o iril o til ltt e hit, l 2se y itmioro a aosi t tie,oei v vti n ti t ieili r hisa i e t at t ti variance soest:irnsirt: argumentkiit ely e de e it e l r ov y Lfe lo r av a oae t ksp i ic o i:l n tegno a als l erAtsi i tir d nitmlie e ed a catilegvt o ssic i he dual.

Mr. SAVAGE seconded the resolution, which passed unanimously. Mr. M'CaNce proposed the fourth resolution. Mr. JOHN BARNETT—Mr. Sheriff, and gentle men, in rising to second the resolution which you have just heard read, I regret that some person of more ability, and of more importance, also, in point of rank and property, has not undertaken the task ; hut, being requested to take a part in the proceed ings of the day, by the respectable gentlemen around me, I have obeyed the call, and consider it an ho nour, in this my native county, to be permitted, in conjunction with such honourable men, to raise my feeble voice in favour of Parliamentary Reform Sir, the want of a real representation of the people in Parliament, is the master evil from which all the other grievances have sprung up, and proceeded.— (Cheers.) It has been said, and truly said, that the representation of the people is the vital principle of their politcal existence—without it, they are dead, or only live to servitude—without it, there are two estates acting upon, and against the third, instead of co-operating with it. Without it, if the people are oppressed by their Judges, where is the tribunal to which their Judges can be amenable ? Without it, if they are trampled upon, and plundered by a Mi nister, where is the tribunal to which the offender can be amenable ? Without it, where is the ear to hear, the heart to feel, or the hand to redress their suffer ings?—(lmmense cheering.) Shall they be found in that bloated band of pensioners and placemen, who fatten on their spoils, and who flourish on their ruin ? I put the question, then, to every man of sound mind, do you think the people are represented as they ought to be ? Look at the condition of the empire at present. Is it in a state of tranquillity and general satisfaction ? These are the marks by which good or bad Governments are ever to be dis tinguished with very minute inquiry, or stretch of intellect. Sir, do you find that comfort and com petency among the people, which are always to be found where a Government is mild and moderate ; and where taxes are imposed by a body, who have an interest in treating the poorer orders with com passion, and in preventing the weight of taxation from pressing sore upon them ? In short, do you find, on the part of the people, a veneration for the laws, and a conscientious attachment to the Consti tution, as the free-will offering of the heart ? I answer no, and the reason is obvious, because the people (with few exceptions) are represented by men whose interest is not their interest, but whose interest is their destruction : by men who offer their talents for sale to the Minister of the day, and then, with unblushing impudence, vote taxes upon their constituents, to pay the price of their own venality. —(Enthusiastic cheering.) Sir, to judge of the Government, you mnq look at the people, for the tree is known by its fruits. The fruit of a good Government is the virtue anti happiness of the people. Do the inhabitants of these countries ther those fruits? What, on the contrary, are the effects of a mal-administration of public affairs ? Turbulence, disaffection, discontent, and disunion— those inseparable concomitants of systematic oppres sion. —(Loud cheers.) Having endeavoured to shew that the people have not hitherto been go verned by such liberal, wise, and salutary laws as would have made them both prosperous and happy; and although I cannot, without sorrow, look back upon the past, yet, I am enabled to look forward with hope to the future, from the bright prospects that are beginning to dawn upon our political hori zon. We have, for the first time, a Ministry who have taken office, upon the express conditions of giving to the country, Peace, Reform, and Retrench ment; and we have, in addition to this, the delight ful reflection, that our gracious and patriotic Mo narch is a party to the compact.—(Great cheering.) With the characters, then, of the King and his Councillors, pledged to the adoption of these measures, we rely, with full confidence, upon them, for a fair and faithful performance of their engagements.—(Mr. Barnett here read a letter, written by Earl Grey, to a most respectable gentlemen in the county, stating, that Govern ment would take into their consideration the evils of which Ireland had to complain, arid, among others, that they would not overlook the present system of Grand Jury Laws.] Are we not (resumed Mr. B.), from this letter, as well as from the other pledges given us by this upright arid Hon. Nobleman, justi fied in saying, that we rely, with full and perfect confidence, on Ministers, for an amelioration of our present condition ? Sir, lam well aware, that there are men who wish to discourage such meetings as this, alleging, as our friends are in power, we ought to leave the matter in their hands, without any in terference, or advice of ours, on the subject. Yes, thank the All-wise disposer of events, they are in power; but we are not so stupid as to believe, (as their sapient advisers would have us,) that the way to embarrass our friends is to rally round them — cheering them in their progress—and affording them every assistance in our power towards theaccomplish ment of their glorious undertaking.—(Cheering.) It is not only expedient, but quite necessary, that the inhabitants of this great and independent county should come forward, at this eventful crisis, assume the attitude they are so well entitled to, by expres sing their sentiments, and give to the north that tone, which in days long by, they were accustomed to do. Mr. B. sat down amidst great cheering.— The resolution was then unanimously agreed to. Mr. SHERMAN CRAWFORD—ST, I rise, agree ably to the arrangements which have been made, to submit to the consideration of this meeting the fifth resolution; but, before I do so, I shall take leave, shortly, to allude to the objects and motives of those who originated the assembling of the freeholders, on this occasion. I feel no hesitation, Sir, in openly stating, that the requisition originated from the County Down Independent and Freeholders' Club. —(Cheers.) The requisition contains the names of a numerous class of freeholders, of high respec tability, perfectly competent to form a just opinion on the true interests of the country. Sir, whilst I advocate the legitimate expression of public opinion, I feel myself called on to express, in the strongest possible terms, my disapprobation of a description of political agitation carried on in another quarter — (Cheers) tending to disturb the public peace —to undermine that connection between Great Britain and Ireland, upon sshich our prosperity, happiness, and security depend—and to impair the liberties of the people, by forming a justification for the exercise of arbitrary enactments.—(Cheers.) Another objection has been made, that Government having promised to bring forward a plan of Reform, it was unbecoming to interfere, till that plan was submitted to the public. With respect to this objec tion, I will observe, Sir, it was generally known that the present Government expected an op position to any plan they would bring forward; and also that a difference of opinion existed among the members of the Government, as to the nature of the Reform to be proposed. Under such circumstances I ask, will not the cause of Reform be promoted, by an early expression of public sentiment ?—(Cheers.) I conceive, that the evils under which the country at present labours, have been chiefly produced by tion of Members of Parliament, was at yai7i ance with the principles of the British Contitution.- For this purpose, the land was first subdivided amongst an impoverished tenantry; and thus our population increa-ed without the means of support iog , it ; and, afterwards, when a change took place in the elective franchise, this same population has been, in many parts, turned adrift, being unsuitable to the object proposed. In addition, Sir, p u bli c -fi. e ii„ g was depressed, corruption was encouraged, an d prr jury, and every species of demoralization, h ave been the consequences. The remedy , hitherto pro vided against bribery, was the a dmirostrationof an justice was to the elector only. Thus, impartial was not administered. The poor matt, who fi.a g many causes, was ill fitted to withstand temptation was sul j ec ed to inquiry on oath, and the tempts: tion to perjure himself; whiiiit the ma - a in thy., higher rank of life, at whose instioation, or foe whose benefit, the temptation was iJifered was per mitted ro enjoy the fruits of corruption without examination or inquiry. It is, therefore, proposed to admin;ster an oath to the elected, as wel ni the elect-,r.—(Cheers.) It has been objected by some, that oaths avers invalid, and were only a temptation to the crime of perjury. I admit this, -when only . one class were sworn ; but if oaths, correcCy worded against all mariner of undue influence, are adminis 7 rered imperatively and impartirlly ca classes of - electors, as well as the elected, then I assert, that this must tend to check corruption :old undue irdlu ence; or else you must suppose that the whole mass of society is deprived of either moral or reli gious principle. If this be the case, it matters little what provisions may be made. If profligacy said corruption amount to such an extent us ibis, 110 measures can be of any avail; and the glory of the l3ritish Constitution must irrecoverably fill. I shall not trespass farther on your time tllim to pro pose the fifth resolution.—(Cheer Mr. Wor.sTENnorimE seconded theresolutiom Ise could not help differing with an observation made by his friend, Mr. nutliven, that Parlian•ent could • not put bread into the mouths of the poor. Per haps it could not do so dirt-on ; but it could cut down pensions, which caused the imposition of taxes, that extracted the means of support from the people. The taxes should be laid on property. — (Cheers.)—The middle classes were ready to pay „their part ; but they had been stripped of all. When we consider that IS/. a-year is sufficient to support one man, if the amount of pensions were divided into such sums, it would be seen that marry might be thus supported.—(Cheers.) Mr. - HAMILTON ROWAN, was not an Irishman; but he had learned principles cf and equably in England. Ile was rejoiced to find (4 0vern m en t disposed to redress Ireland's wrongs. He condemned the Grand Jury Laws, which• im posed taxes on the people without giving those who had to pay them any influence in their irnpo•iticat. He was a great friend to secret vming; but he owned he would leave it to the Ministiy to devise the plan of Reform. He was sorry that Mr. O'Con nell, the man to whom Ireland was deeply indebted, had gone too far. We also owed much to the Duke of Wellington ; but it was much to be regreved that his Grace had abandoned the people. After some other observations, Mr. Rowan sat down amid loud applause. Colonel FORDE then rose and said, that as to his plan of Reform, he would briefly state it. He would wish to disfranchise the depopulated boroughs, and transfer the franchise to large manufacturing towns ; he would open close boroughs ; abolish useless places, sinecures, and pensions. He would not follow Mr. O'Connell's plan of Reform—he would take as his guide Lord John Russell—one of the most honest and consistent Members in Par- liament. He was obliged to dissent from one of the resolutions, viz. that recommending Triennial Parliaments, as, in his opinion, the time was much too short. Seven years he thought too long, and would, therefore, take five as a proper period. But lie did not wish to make this a matter of objection. He merely wished honestly and openly to stare his opinion.—(Cheers.) The motion was then unanimously agreed to. Some discussion here ensued, as to the persons o whom the petition should be entrust - L.:I for pre- sentation; when it was finally agreed, that it be en trusted to Earl Grey, in the House of Lords, and to the county Members, Lords Castlereagh and A. Hill, in the House of Commons, provided Hwy would support the prayer of it ; otherwie, that it should be entrusted to E. S. Ruthven, Esq., Mem ber for Downpatricl.•. The Rev. H. E. BOYD afterwards addressed the meeting on the subject of tidies. He would wish to throw out a plan which he thought would remedy the defects of the present system. 1t NN as, that, in every parish in Ireland, where the composi tion for tithe shall have been established, in case the acreable rent charged by the proprietor of the soils or other landlord, shall exceed tee times the amount of the acreable rate of the composition for tithe, then and in that case the proprietor or other land lord, shall be subject to the payment of the com position, to the relief of the occupying tenant. That in case the rent so charged by the acre shall not amount to ten times the sum of the acreable rate of the composition for tithe, then the oeeupying tenant shall be subject to pay the acreable rate for the composition of tithe. By this means thee would be a degree of equality between landlord and tenant, and those heartburnings would be avoided which are at present so detrimental to the pros perity of Ireland. As be found, that, according to the requisition, this subject could not be brought forward, he merely wished to throw the idea before the public. Mr. OGIINIE then moved that Colonel Forde take the chair, and that the thanks of the meeting be given to the High Sheriff for his readiness in calling the meeting, and his proper conduct in pre siding over it. Mr. Itt:TnvEN thought nothing could be more gratifying to the Sheriff, than that he should he able to send forward a petition, which wound shew that the county was in such a tranquil state. Bed the meeting not taken place, it might have beets al leged, that the county was in a state of such dis traction, that they were afraid to assemble. Mr. Ruthven concluded by seconding the motion. The motion was then put and carried with im mense cheering, and tile meeting sep.►rated. ANECDOTE OF THE REV. `'V M. DAVY.- This gentleman, who was as much remarked for his ec centric habits, as for his learning and perseverance, waited on the Bishop of EXETER, with a copy of an advertise ment, inserted in a newspaper, which stated that fifty journeymen tailors were wanted, who were to receive as an equivalent for their Labour one guinea per week.— When he presented it to the Bishop, he asked hint why he showed it him ? He said—" to show your Lordship that a journeyman tailor is Letter able to provide for a family than a journeyman parson."—He had his end gratified, and an increase of ten pounds per annum was ordered to his former salary of forty pounds.—Bath Uronielc. HAM, JAN. 20.—The garrison of this city and fortress, which before the removal of the Ex, Ministers was composed of but one company of veterans, is now augmented to 700 men.
