More than this, we think, cannot be said in favour of adopting Mr. Brooks's admirable plan. MR. O'CONNELL. (From the Dublin Morning Register of Tuesday.) We have received the following letter. As it contains nothing but what the public ought to know, we think we cannot give the sentiments in any words better than in those of the illustrious writer, and from none other will they have half so much weight : 14, Albemarle street, London, Saturday. My dear Barrett,—l proposed to myself to send you for publication, on Monday, an address to the Irish people, on the present truly awful crisis of public affairs, but I have been occupied with conferences all day, with Irish and British Mem bers of the Commons—and I derive much consolation from being able to tell you, that not only are the popular Irish Mem bers firm and unanimous, but that there are a greater number far than I could possibly expect, of the British Members, de termined to resist the atrocious tyranny with which Earl Grey has the unheard-of audacity to dare to threaten Ireland. Talk of an union, indeed, between the two countries, after pre suming to attempt to outlaw the inhabitants of one great por tion of the empire!! But the extreme despotism of the proposed measures has a tendency to disgust every friend to liberty, and in England we shall certainly get considerable support out of doors. In the meantime, pray use my name to conjure the people— First, to be perfectly peaceable —no outbreak—no violence — on the contrary, prove the absolute madness of doing the busi. ness of our enemies, by any species of violation of the law. Secondly, get the clergy, if possible, and the laity, unani mously to petition. Petition—Petition--Petition—against these measures. Let us have firm, respectful, strong, petitions from every part of Ireland. Announce an address from me to the people of Ireland, to be published in your paper on Wednesday. Let there be no despair—the Constitutional battle for Irish liberty is not yet lost—neither shall it, with the blessing of God. I repeat, let no man despair. On the contrary, call on the friends of freedom to insist that their representatives shall do their duty. I have not time this day to write more. Let peace, order, and constitutional exertion be our motto. Believe me to be, very faithfully yours, DANIEL O'CONNELL. IRISH VOLUNTEERS. (From the Dublin Freeman's Journal, of Tuesday.) There was a meeting of this Society in the Corn Ex change on yesterday. Mr. DOYLE in the Chair. The SECRETARY read the proceedings of the last meeting. Several new Members were admitted. Mr. JOHN GREEN spoke at considerable length on the contemplated coercive measures towards Leland. _ _ Mr. CLOSE thought that they could scarcely trust them selves to speak then on the subject of the very extraordi nary measures which Eat! Grey had just introduced into the House of Lords ; they should allow themselves some time for mature reflection ; he would therefore move an adjournment until this day. The Hen. Mr. CAVENDISH rose to move the postpone ment until this day, of a motion he had made on the last day of meeting, with reference to an exposition of sonic misrepresentations in a speech attributed to the Marquis of Sligo. He would then engage to prove that the statements of the Noble Marquis, as reported in the news papers, and the consequences drawn therefrom i❑ Earl Grey's speech, were totally unfounded. The motion for the adjournment of the meeting, to take into consideration the measures which Earl Grey had in troduced, until this day, passed. The SECRETARY then read the weekly report from the Volunteers of Grangegorman, handed in by Mr. M'Donald. The amount of the rent received within the last week, from that district, was 1/. lbs. sd. Mr. M‘DotiaLi) said be was happy to he able to assure the meeting that he contemplated Ministerial measures of severity had not in the least depressed the spirit of the Grangegorman Volunteers. The attendance at their last meeting was unprecedentedly numerous, and several new members pressed forward to be enrolled.—(Hear.) There was also a great concourse of the fair sex, who were anxious to have their subscriptions received.—(Cheers.) Mr. CLOSE then moved that the secretary be instructed to call a meeting of the standing committee, at 1 o'clock on this day, to propose resolutions, and arrange the other proceedings of the meeting for to-morrow. The SECRETARY then requested that some of the mem bers would bring forward a motion, requesting the Catholic Bishops to desire their several clergy to report the state of political feeling in their respective parishes. This, he said, would be the best practical refutation of the mis statements of Lord Grey. Mr. POWER was then called to the chair, and thanks having been returned to Mr. Doyle, the meeting separated.

A few persons only had entered the gallery, when bills were posted on the walls announcing the severe indisposition of Mr. KEAN, and consequently his inability to perform. The theatre in consequence was nearly deserted. On inquiry we learnt that he had kept his bed since Saturday evening, when he personated Sir Giles Overreach. It was very evident that his exertions then were too much for him. He was taken off the stage in a state of insensibility; his moans excited the commiseration of the persons behind the scenes. The performers on the stage were much affected by his situation, and their eyes simultaneously followed him off the stage, and it was some time ere they regained their composure. The audience were in like manner affected, and seemed to watch his exit with great solicitude. Poor KEAN, when he came a little to himself, softly ejaculated, " It is, I fear, my last dying speech."—BrighlonPaper In addition to the rumoured abolition of the Whitechapel Police-office, it is said to be the intention of the Home Secretary to abolish the Marlborough-street Police-office also, dividing its duties between the Bow street, Alarylebone, and Queen-square establishments. t-1‘) V4v4tit. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1833. The decision which the House of Commons came to last night, on the subject of a change in the hours of attendance, &c., was one of importance, and will probably prove of great benefit to the public. At any rate, as we have before said, the time is arrived when a plan different from the present must be adopted. Lord ALTHORP has adopted some of the suggestions made to him, but has, upon the whole, adhered to his original plan, and found, as we pro phecied, that he had the support of the great majo rity of the House. The objections urged against the plan by Sir ROBERT PEEL and others were, for the most part, without the slightest foundation. As to the thinness of attendance which some Honourable Members seem to expect, we do not think it will be difficult to obtain the at tendance of a sufficient number to give to the complaints of the people, and to private business generally, the attention which they deserve. Lord ALTHORP, who is himself an early riser, and a most industrious man,—regularly at his post at nine o'clock in the morning,—and also Lord BROUGHAM, when judicial duties require early hours of attendance, see the practicability of the proposed change, but they should insist upon their example being followed by other Members of the Cabinet, if they expect that change to work well. How is it with the Government offices generally? Lord PAL MERSTON seldom leaves his own house before two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and Lord MELBOURNE, are rarely visible before twelve. At the Treasury, neither of the Secretaries, who are both Members of Parliament, can be seen much before one, and even the chief clerks do not arrive at their offices until nearly twelve. It is the same at the Colonial-office, at the War-office, and in nearly every department, except that at the head of which is the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. Should this system continue, how will it be possible for Ministers, or their Secretaries, who are Members of the House of Commons, to attend in Parliament when the petitions of the people, or what is called private business, most of which is, however,of public importance, although hitherto smuggled through the House for the convenience of private persons, are on hand ? If Ministers wish the public to benefit by the change in the forms of the House of Com mons, they will follow the example of the French Ministers, who are at work at eight o'clock in the morning, and are thus enabled to attend in the Chamber at twelve or one, without the slightest inconvenience to the public or themselves. We throw out these suggestions for the consideration of Lord ALTHORP, whose influence with his colleagues may induce them to follow his own excellent example, and to put an end to the owl-like sittings of the House of Commons without detriment to the public service, which requires a very different mode of attendance at the Government offices, as con nected with the Parliamentary change. There is only one objection urged to the new plan which we think necessary to notice. It is, that Mi nisters will not be able to be in the House whilst petitions are being presented. But LordAurlloitP has promised that one Minister shall always be present, and, generally speaking, there is not more than one in the House under the old arrangement till five or six o'clock, except, indeed, notice has been given to the Minister of a particular department, that a ques tiou will be asked, or observations made, which will require his presence, a courtesy which can be conti nued as heretofore. The Petition Committee, it will be seen, consists of eleven Members, of which five, if not six, are rank Tories. The proportion of Tories in such a Committee ought to be something► like that which their total number bears to the whole House. If all the Tories placed on the Committee attend, they will probably form the majority, and have it in their power to make petitions appear im portant or unimportant, according to a Tory view of the question. We trust this matter will be looked to. We are glad to see that Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM and his colleague Mr. HUMPHERY were last night appointed to prepare a Bill for the establishment of the South London Market . Company. The main object of the projectors of this company is the pro viding of a place for the slaughtering of cattle, upon the plan adopted in the abattoirs at Paris, and thereby doing away with the filthy nuisances which disfigure parts of the capital as much as they en danger the health of the whole. The spot that has been pitched upon for the erection of the buildings of the company, is the old butcher's market and slaughter houses, in St. George's-fields, Southwark, which, it is said, combine oil the advantages of ample space, contiguity to the city, free cir culation of air, good roath, facility of in gress and egress, an abundant supply of water, and ample underground drainage. Besides the requisite accommodations for slaughtering three hundred head of cattle per day, the company pro poses to provide a dairy, poultry, fruit, meat, and vegetable market, upon a scale of magnificence be fitting this great metropolis, which, till the erection of Yarringdon Market, and the recent improvements in Covent-garden, had not anything of the kind that could be compared with the buildings of that descrip tion in several of our provincial towns. It is im possible to predicate complete success of any under taking, but that to which we at present allude, so well deserves such success that we cannot bring ourselves to think it will not meet with it. Mr. WHITMORE intends to bring forward Lord MILTON'S (now Earl FITzWILLIAM) dropped motion early in May. Ministers have not yet signified whether any portion of the Hon. Member's plan will have their concurrence; but, we understand, that he will be warmly supported by a large number of Members, who stand pledged to their constituents on this subject. It will be curious to observe whether any one Tory will be found honest or consistent enough, ac cording to the previous conduct of his party, to support the motion of Mr. WILKES, for the abolition of Septennial Parliaments. When the Walpole Administration pressed the re peal of the Triennial Act, the Tories made a zealous, although unsuccessful, struggle, to defeat the measure ? What will they do now ? A Paris Correspondent of the Times casts great blame upon the Duke of IticumoND for the delay in establishing a daily communication between London and Paris by mail, and states that the French Government are ready to do all that is ne cessary on their part. We fear there is some ground for this charge. The Duke of RictimoND has re ferred the subject too much to subalterns who are 'nterested in preventing the proposed improvement, and what was really the work of an hour between the principals, is made the work of years by employes. M. COMTE, the French Director of the Postes, has declared that no blame can fairly be imputed to him, and offered to give a written pledge to the merchants of Paris, of his readiness to carry the proposed arrangement into effect. We observed on Monday that the English were becoming rather unpopular among the Portuguese Constitutionalists, and that the influence of the French was rapidly gaining ground. Now, without wishing to prejudice the fair interests of the French nation, or to curb the generous spirit of compe tition, which ought to subsist between two countries alike remarkable for the patronage of art, the employment of industry. and the promotion of commerce, we may be allowed to suggest to the British Cabinet, that unless it is prepared to assist the Usurper of Portugal in his attempt to destroy the Constitutionalists, and finally establish a despotic throne—a proceeding which would come with equal injustice and ill-grace from the liberal Government of a free country— our Ministers cannot take a more impolitic course than allowing the French Government to increase its influence in the Peninsula, by hourly adding to its reputation for liberality and good sense. MI our merchants know, that until Don IVlrcum. usurped the Crown of Portugal, British commerce enjoyed many exclusive advantages, and some particularly over the French, the only nation which could seriously affect our commercial interests with Portugal. Were those advantages, in the event of the tranquillisation of that country, entirely re moved, and Lord PALMERSTON, disregarding the principles upon which he came into office, and setting public opinion at defiance, were to nego tiate a treaty with Don MIGUEL, the conditions of which should be a confirmation of his power on the one hand, and exclusive privileges to the trade of this country on the other, the po licy upon which he seems to be now acting might be understood, although it could not be approved ; but so long as the restoration of legitimate authority i n Portugal be possible, not to say probable, we must regard the indifference manifested by our Ca. binet to the cause of Don PEDRO as alike injurious to our honour and interests. When Don PEDRO first arrived here from Brazil he despatched a British officer, of high rank, to wa i t upon Lord PALMERSTON and Lord BROUGHAM, with an offer not only to confirm all former privi leges to the British nation, but to grant pew ones, as the condition of our giving him moral, if not physical, aid, in his attempt to regain tt Crown of Portugal for the QUEEN; and it is a fact worthy of strong notice, that the French Mi nister for Foreign Affairs at that time (Ge neral SEBASTIANI), in his generous anxiety to promote the cause of freedom in Portugal, not only abstained from any opposition to the attempt of Don PEDRO, but actually offered to co-operate with our Government in any measure that it might un dertake, although he was well aware of the nature of the proposal which Don PEDRO had made. It will be seen from this statement that we have lost a fine opportunity of putting an enJ to the con test between the two Brothers, and at the same time increasing our commercial interests, and pro moting our national character. 'We have, unfortu nately, done more than this, we have allowed the Usurper to insult our flag, and imprison our fellow countrymen with impunity, whilst the Americans have obtained, in the way of reparation for similar outrages, even more than they could fairly demand ; and the French are making arrangements for the signal chastisement of the Crowned Ruffian who has insulted them. Up to this hour the claims of Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE and others upon the Government de facto of Portugal, although declared by the law of the officers of the Crown more than fifteen months ago to be a fit subject for an immediate application of redress remain unsatisfied, and we do not hear that even a threat of reprisals has been made. This omission on the part of Lord PALMERSTON is, we think, both impolitic and ungenerous; but we sin cerely hope that-the time is not distant when he will see the necessity of a different mode of pro ceeding, and we shall have to congratulate him on his determination to uphold the dignity of the British arms. We beg to call the attention of our readers to an extract which will be found in another column, from the Nautical Magazine, giving a description of a proposed harbour, to be formed at Redcar, near the mouth of the Tees. The want of a secure anchoring place for large vessels on that part of our coast, has been long felt, and if, tipoN examination, the proposed plan should prove feasible, we are sure its execution will be hailed with delight by the mercantile world. A harbour for vessels of war has also been found wanting in that same quarter, which furnishes reason, in addition to the general interests of our shipping, for the proper authorities investigating the subject It was but a few years ago that upwards of one hundred vessels were lost in consequence of easterly gales, for want of a place of refuge on that part of the coast. This we think a most conclusive argument for the Government and for the members of LLOYD'S to take up the subject in a spirit worthy of our na tional character for enterprise, and a due attention to the interests of the country, as well as those of humanity. We hope that the Reformed Parliament, in its zeal to advance the other interests of the country, will not overlook those of science, and more espe cially that unequalled specimen of scientific enter prize, the Thames Tunnel. Mr. GILLON, we see, presented a petition the other night on the subject, but we should be glad to see it formally taken up by Government. A more judicious grant, and on, that all parties would concede with more readiness, was never yet proposed by a British Minister. That it is no Quixotic speculation, the reports of Mr. BRUNELL and the nunierous directory meetings that have been held on the subject, abundantly prove. Time and money then are the only two requisites, as all parties agree in stating, that are ne cessary tobring it to completion. Viewed simply as a work of art, the Thames Tunnel is entitled to national consideration; but as a work of utility, it is impossible it can be too highly appreciated. We shall not lose sight of this important subject. We perceive by an advertisement of the Lessee of Drury-lane Theatre, that the Bishop of LONDON has prohibited the performance of plays at that House on the Wednesdays and Fridays during Lent. The Bishop's sleeves are much wider than his mind. What profanation could there be in a dramatic per formance, if the sing-song stuff,—the " I've been Roaming," " I'd be a Butterfly," " Meet Me by Moonlight," " Cherry Ripe," and other songs of a similar character, can be introduced at the Ora torios without offending the dignitaries of th, Church ? The Bishop would proscribe S►rAKSPEARE but encourage Butterfly BAYLEY or Cherry Ripe LEE. He would banish the drama from the stale on particular days of monkish ordinance; but he has no objection to any bodge podge under the title of sacred music which a manager may choose to get up. It is our wish to speak well of Churchmen, but i►► this instance we cannot refrain from express ing our opinion that such conduct is more calculated to injure than promote the interest of the religion which they preach.

A Common Council was held this afternoon, at the Guild_ hall, at which the Lord Mayor, the Recorder of London, seven Aldermen, the Sheriffs, and other City Authorities were present. The Minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. SUNDAY TRADING. APSLEY PELLATT, Esq., presented a petition praying the Court to adopt measures to prevent the entire suppres_ sion of Sunday-trading, and addressed the Court at great length, in stating the reasons which had urged him to petition it upon the subject. Mr. Taylor and Mr. Woods rose together, when the Lord Mayor stated that the latter gentleman first caught his eye, and Mr. Taylor resumed his seat. Mr. \VOODS spoke at great length in support of the prayer of the petition, and proposed that petitions be presented to both Houses of Parliament, founded upon the draft of a peti tion he held in his hand, praying the Legislature to enact more effectual measures to entirely suppress trading of every description on the Lord's Day. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR expressed his surprise at the manner in which the last speaker had availed himself of the petition that had been read, to propose addressing the Legis lature upon the subject. This astonishment was greatly aug mented when he perceived that notice of a motion upon the subject had been given by that gentleman, and the motion stood the last upon the paper. After considerable discussion, Mr. Woods consented to with draw his motion, as to the petitioning of the Legislature, and the petition of A. Pellatt was ordered to be received. Several persons were admitted to the freedom of the city, and the petitions of others, praying to be reduced in the amount of their rents, were referred to the Bridge-house Committee. PERIODICAL ELECTION OF ALDERMEN, &c. A petition was presented by several of the inhabitants of the Ward of Cripplegate, praying the Court to take into considera tion the most expeditious measures to adopt to cause the Court of Aldermen to be thrown open to the public, the Aldermen to be periodically elected, and the constituency of the small wards, whereby the Aldermen are created magistrates of the whole city of London, to be increased. Mr. NEWELL addressed the Court at great length upon the importance of the object of the prayer of the petitioners. Mr. DIXON strongly opposed the prayer of the petition. Alderman VENABLES supported the petition, Mr. TAYLOR and several other gentlemen followed on the same side, and it was proposed that the petition be referred to a select committee. But the question was not decided when our reporter left. EARL GREY'S COERCIVE MEASURES.- Yesterday, a meeting of the requisitionists took place at the Royal Hotel, College green, for the purpose of preparing resolutions, petitions, and addresses, to be submitted to tie public meeting of the citizens of Dublin, to be held to morrow, to express their sentiments relative to Lord GREY'S measures of coercion. JAMES DWYER, Esq., in the chair. Several gentlemen addressed the chair, explaining their views on the occasion. A general sense of the deepest indignation was expressed relative to the Bill introduced for the subversion of the Irish Constitution, and a com mittee appointed to prepare the necessary resolutions, &c. —Dublin Morning Register of Tuesday. COURT OF CHANCERY._(TS DAY.) EXTRAORDINAhI" CHANCERY FETE. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN stated in a case in which a point of practice arose—namely, whether the solicitor obtaining an order that his opponents might answer exceptions and as amendment at the same time, upon the payment of Os., prior to obtaining a certificate that the exceptions had been allowed, he had to call his Lordship's attention to one of the most extraordinary fetes of expedition in Chancery proceedings that had ever come before his notice. The solicitor had exhibited a degree of activity and rapidity never before known, and which it would be impossible for any one to believe had the facts not been distinctly sworn to. Mr. E. Bryant Garey, solicitor, of Southampton-buildings, stated by his affidavit that on the 2 0 —d of January last, he attended a warrant before the Master of the Court of Chancery, at half-past hi o'clock, on exceptions to the defendant's answer to an original bill, and that three of the exceptions were then allowed. That about two o'clock on the same day lie obtained the Master's report on the said exceptions, and that he immediately proceeded to the Report-office for the purpose of filing that report, but the office was closed, and there was no person in attendance with whom he could file it. That he had, however, regularly filed the report soon after the office opened in the evening of the same day. That after he had obtained the report from the Master, he caused a petition to be presented to his Honour, the Master of the Rolls, praying that the plaintiffs might be at liberty to amend their bill, and that the defendant might be ordered to answer the amendments and the exceptions at the same time. Finally, that the order to amend was made, drawn up, passed, entered, and served upon the defendant on the very same day on which the report of the Master was signed and filed, namely, the 2.2 d of January ! The Learned Counsel considered that such a degree of expedition might well be put in the balance, and would, no doubt, far outweigh many of the charges of delay that were from day to day brought against this Court. After some discussion on both sides at the bar, Sir E. Sugden contending that it was impossible to have obtained the order to answer the amendments and exceptions before the Master's report was obtained, allowing the excep tions, and Mr. Pepys, contra, arguing that the Court could not look to a fraction of a day so as to ascertain whether the report in the order was first obtained, the whole having been gone through in one day, according to the affidavit of Mr. Garey. His LORDSHIP said he would take the opportunity of looking into the affidavit, and inquiring more particularly into the practice before he decided the point. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) PRINGLE v. CADELL. This was an action brought to recover damages for a libel published by the defendant in " Blackwood's Magazine." An article having appeared in a number of that magazine, signed by Mr. Pringle as secretary to the Anti-Slavery Society, describing certain acts of cruelty which had been used towards a female slave by her master, in the island of Antigua, a letter appeared in answer in a subsequent number, denying the statement, and attacking the character of Mr. Pringle. Mr. Sergeant COLERIDGE having addressed the Court at considerable length on behalf of the defendant. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 51, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.)

Quebec Papers to the 24th of January, and Montreal to the the 2.5 th, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Quebec Papers.) The weather throughout the whole of the past week has been extremely cold. It was the only severe weather we have experienced this season, December having been very mild. COLONIAL GOVERNMENT, It will hardly be denied that an opinion is now prevalent in this country, that the Government of this province ought to be rendered purely elective. (From the Montreal Papers.) The extreme cold of last Saturday has been succeeded by mild weather and thawing. EMIGRATION TAX. This tax has been the cause of very serious complaints in our sister province, as it presents very little, if any, impedi ment to emigration. It is also an established fact that part of the portion of this tax applied to forwarding emigrants to Upper Canada, has been almost entirely expended for the bene fit of that province. (From the Boston Papers of 49th January.) By the last accounts from Washington, there was a very general disposition manifested in the House of Representatives to bring the Tariff Bill through that body, and there is no doubt that it has been passed ere this, and sent to the Senate for concurrence; but the Senate appears to have considerable business before it, independently of the Tariff—viz. the reso. lution of Messrs. Calhoun and Grundy, as well as the Bill re ported by Judiciary, relative to the collection of the revenue at the port of Charleston. The debates in that body this week will be intensely interesting. THE FUNDS. The only political information we have this morning is from America. The State of South Carolina and the Federal Govern ment are still at loggerheads; there are meetings upon meetings, flaming speeches, and resolutions, but nothing of any decisive nature has taken place as yet. General Hamilton, of South Carolina, recommends to his party to abstain from acting under the ordinance, until the rising of Congress, so as to avoid a collision between the authorities of South Carolina and those of the Federal Government, as indications were perceived that that body were proceeding to modify the tariff: By this doe. trine we should imagine they are fighting shy, and the affair will terminate in words and not in blows. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yesterday, 871 buyers, since which they are done at 87; 1, with little doing. The speculators are waiting the arrival of the mails. HALF.PAST ONE. We understand from good authority that aseriousremon strance has been forwarded to the Dutch Government, by Aus tria, Prussia, and Russia jointly, for his Dutch Majesty to comply with the demands of England and France with respect to the Belgian question. This was most likely, in consequence of a meeting that took place some days ago at Ashburnham House, between the Ambassadors of those Powers. Consols at present may be quoted at 87% for the Account, with little business doing. The Foreign Market is in the same state as that of the Eri., tish, little or nothing doing. THREE 0' CL 0 CK.
