Application to be made (if by letter post-paid) as above. EDWARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO SITE CANDLES will ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite," used by Edward Price and Co.; but the process by which the real Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. P. and Co. granting no licenses, none et these imitation candles are at all the same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their burning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the but wax, aid their affording so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of most of the respectable tallow-chandiers throughout the kingdom, and are supplied to the trade wholesale by Edward Price and Co., Bel mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 19.—This evening the dinner to Mr. O'Connell, and his companions in prison, takes place at the Music-hall, Lower Abbey-street. So early as three o'clock the doors were surrounded by a large crowd of persons, and all the places had been engaged for some time. There were seats laid out for 800 persons, and these being taken at an carly hour to-day, great numbers have been disappointed, who had not applied in time. Even without the company for whose accommoda- tion the Music-hall was appropriated, it presented a very pretty appearance. The hall is laid out as a theatre, diviled into boxes, and the pit, or floor, being level, had seven very long ranges of tables for the guests. Upon the dais, where the performers usually appear, there was a long table laid out for Mr. O'Connell, his associates in the trial and the sentence, and Members of Parliament, with the Prelates of the Catholic Church who have notified their intention of being present. Beneath the boxes, appropriated exclusively for ladies (who are required to appear in full dress), there are tables also laid out. The hour appointed for dimieTlTSix o'clock. The chair is to be taken by the President of the evening, W. Smith O'Brien, Esq., M.P. Amongst those who have notified their intention to be present are—N. Maher, Esq., M.P., T. Kelly, Esq., M.P., Caleb Powell, Esq., M.P., H. Grattan, Esq., M.P., E. B. Roche, Esq., M.P., and Mayors, with members of the Corporations, of Dublin, Limerick, Cork, Kilkenny, Clontnel, Sligo, Water ford, &c. Of the letters that have been received, some may be considered worthy of perusal. " Dungannon, Sept. 16, 1844. " Gentlemen,—ln reply to your much-esteemed letter, inviting me to the national banquet to O'Connell and his late fellow-martyrs, I have the honour to acquaint you, for the information of the managing committee on that auspicious occasion, that I am at present on my visita tion, and that my arrangements with my clergy for the discharge of my spiritual duties will not allow me leisure to avail myself of your very kind invitation to the public dinner in Dublin on Thursday next.

" Gentlemen,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 11th instant, inviting me, on the part of the managing committee appointed to super intend the national banquet to O'Connell and his fellow martyrs, to attend as a guest on that auspicious occasion ; and I pray you to convey to tho committee the expres sion of my sincere thanks for this mark of their kind at tention, together with the assurance of my regret that, participating as Ido most largely in the general delight occasioned by the splendid triumph of law over injustice which they are about to celebrate, it will not be in my power to avail myself of their valued invitation. " I have the honour to remain, gentlemen, your most obedient, humble servant, " ':1 D. MURRAY. " John Arabin and James O'llea, Esqs." " Tuam, Sept, 16, 1844. " Gentlemen,—l have had seldom to exercise a greater act of self-denial than that of foregoing, on account of imperative duties which could not be postponed, the gratification of being a guest at one of the most joyous festivals that ever gladdened the hearts of Irishmen. Tke glorious event which it commemorates is one which, while it awakens the liveliest extacies of the human heart, is calculated to draw forth the most solemn emotions of reverence to the Great Disposer of human destinies. " The suddenness and surprise with which the intel ligence quickened or struck down the hopes of all who heard it, prove that it was an event far beyond the beaten track of political calculations. It came upon the mind of the nation like a vision of the night. Not like a vision, however, will it pass away ; for its effect will be an enduring reality . —lreland's legislative freedom. For such a consummation we are indebted to the artificers of the late prosecutions ; and in the political fate of the Liberator and his fellow-prisoners well may be exem plified the words of the inspired writings He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it, and he that aetteth a stone for his neighbour shall stumble upon it, and he that layeth a snare for another shall perish in it. A mis chievous counsel shall be rolled back upon the author, and he shall not know whence it cometh.' _ " Hoping that Irishmen, without distinction of sect or creed, will avail themselves of the benefits of a providen tial interference, obtained through the pious prayers of the people, which were offered up in the churches for humanity and justice, and the liberation of the captive, I have the honour to be your very respectful and obliged servant, " k JOHN, Archbishop of Tuam.

" Gentlemen,—Your much esteemed favour came to hand, conveying to me an invitation to attend as a guest the national banquet to be given to Daniel O'Connell, Esq., and his fellow-martyrs, on the 19th instant, in the metropolis of Ireland. I feel much honoured, indeed, by the very high compliment thus conferred on me by your managing committee, to whom I request you to present my most grateful acknowledgments, and assurance that nothing could afford me more heartfelt satisfaction than to be present, on this truly important and auspicious oc casion, did the present state of my health authorise me to undertake such a journey, and mingle with such a vast assembly, where, no doubt, myriads of the patriotic sons of Erin will meet in social festivity to send forth in the most enchanting strains of eloquence the outpourings of their very souls, as feeble proofs of their respect, their veneration, and their unbounded confidence in the great man who was lately immured within the walls of a prison, as if guilty of conspiracy ; but at present, thanks be to an all-wise Providence, his sentence is reversed by the highest judicial authority in England, and he is de clared to be free from any other charge, except that he endeavoured by legal and constitutional means to assert the independence of the land of his birth, and restore to his countrymen those rights and privileges of which they were so unjustly deprived. " I shall now conclude by a fervent prayer that all those who have erred in by-gone days may profit by passing events, and adopt such policy in future as may tend to promote the peace and prosperity of the British empire, and unite all her ; Majesty's subjects in the closest bonds of Christian charity and brotherly love. With sentiments of the highest respect, I have the honour to remain, gentlemen, your very grateful and obedient servant, " TnomAs COEN, Bishop of Clonfert. " To John L.

" Gentlemen,—l have been honoured with your letter, containing an invitation to the O'Connell banquet, only on this day, having been absent in the country by the orders of my physicians. " I feel much obliged by the invitation which you have forwarded, and regret most sincerely that I cannot have the honour of accepting it, as lam not yet fully re covered from a severe attack of illness. " I know of nothing that could give me more pleasure than to have an opportunity of paying a tribute of re spect and gratitude to Mr. O'Connell. As the principal instrument, in the ands of Divine Providence, of deli vering the Catholics from an oppressive yoke, he de serves our respect, and as the most unceasing and moat powerful labourer in the cause of our country's rights, he deserves the warmest gratitude and most strenuous support of every one that loves Ireland. "At this moment, particularly, he has a peculiar claire on every mark of our respect and gratitude, when he has—l fearlessly say it—providentially saved us from an illegal and unjust persecution. The world has seldom seen such a combination of unfairness and injustice as was exhibited in his trial ; and from the intimate know ledge of the Irish character which my station affords I was filled with apprehensions lest the Irish people would lose all confidence in the administration of justice, and thus, notwithstanding all our exertions, be led to think of illegal means to relieve themselves from their most in tolerable sufferings. That a man who has always, by word or example, preached peace and obedience to the law—one who has for so mauy years restrained a sensi tive people when driven by dire necessity to the very verge of violence—one who has been the most strenuous and the most successful supporter of the law in Ireland, should be prosecuted as a disturber—should be declared guilty by a packed jury, and be doomed to a dungeon by a truly unmerciful sentence—is not only monstrous in itself, but was fraught with the most lamentable con sequences. Frow these his acquittal has delivered this country, and sorry I am I am unable to join in the public expression of our heartfelt joy.

I highly esteem the compliment paid to me by the com mitteee. I will not say that I want language adequate to express my gratitude for their kindness, but I will say that I cannot give sufficient expression to my feeling of regret that a combination of circumstances, over which I have no control, will deprive me of the great gratification which I should otherwise derive from being present at the banquet, for the purpose of offering in person my heartfelt congratulations to the illustrious father of his country, and his late fellow-martyrs, on the occasion of their release from an unjust captivity, and of contri buting to swell, by my humble person, the crowd of patriots who will meet to honour O'Connell, and cele brate the triumph of Ireland over the iniquitous attempts to crush her struggles for nationality by fraudulent jury lists, packed juries, and one-sided judges.

" When I see this attack made upon the rights of Irishmen, by means such as no officer of the Crown would have dared to apply against Englishmen, even in the present imperfect state of British representation, I am confirmed in the opinion, which I have long enter tained, that these steps towards despotism arise from the circumstances of our representative condition. We have what is called a constitution, but what is really only the fragment of a constitution. We have an Irish executive with all its offices and appendages for the purposes of the state and law, preserved in its integrity, whilst the legislative branch—the Parliament—has been annihi lated, and, consequently, the executive governs with all the arrogance of irresponsible power. I feel the neces sity of applying a remedy to this evil, and I wish, whilst I would secure the rights of Ireland by local representa • tion, to confirm the connection between the two coun tries by imperial representation. The joint action of these two principles would, in my judgment, secure the happiness, the prosperity, and integrity, of the whole empire. " I regret that I, in common with many true friends of Ireland, have the misfortune to differ from the distin guished leaders of the repeal agitation in the propriety of admitting the federal principle in any reconstruction of the Act of Union, but I anxiously hope that some means may be devised of removing the obstacles to united action among all those who agree on the common principle—that Ireland ought to have a representative body, with powers competent to give her the manage ment of her own resources, and to protect her rights — and that all those whose hearts are warmed with the love of country, whether Catholic or Protestant, who desire to draw forth the long-neglected industrial re sources of Ireland, to recal her absentees, and to estab lish the rights of her people on a just and stable founc?ii tion, and thus create that national prosperity of which the elements, exist in such abundance, may yet—before a long time elapses—be found working together, shoulder to shoulder, in a common struggle for national regene ration.

" Unable to cope with them in argument, our oppo nents resorted to a prosecution. The odious doctrine of political conspiracy was revived in its most odious form —jury-lists were tampered with, and a conviction was obtained by means worthy of the worst of times. " Undismayed, our great leader and his fellow con spirators' shrunk not from those principles. They boldly re-asserted the doctrines they had ever contended for ; with indignant language they denounced the mean.* by which their conviction had been obtained, and ap pealed for redress to the highest tribunal of the land, where at length—but with difficulty—right and justice triumphed. "To the men who thus in their own person suffered for our liberties, the deepest gratitude is due, and I should have been most happy, were I enabled to do so, to attend at any festival in their honour.

The centre compartment, to the right of the chair, Lure the words— " Peace and Perseverance:;" and the opposite— " Lords Denman , Cottenham, and Campbell." Mr. O'Connell sat on the right of the chairman, W. S. O'Brien ; and to his right sat the Bishop of Ardagh, Right Rev. Dr. Higgins. On the left of the chair sat the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, next him Lord Ffrench and the Bishop of Meath, Right Rev. Dr. Cantwell. In the immediate vicinity of the chairman we also observed Mr. John O'Connell, Mr. Steele, Mr. Barrett, Mr. Ray, Dr. Gray, the Right Rev. Dr. McNally, Hon. J. H. Hutchinson, Sir S. Bradsteret, Bart., Archdeacon Laffan, Rev. Mr. Tyrrell (Protestant clergyman), Rev. Mr. Tierney, Mr. D. O'Connell jun., Rev. Mr. Kennedy (Protes- L taut clergyman), J. P.

HAMBURGH MAIL. HOLSTEIN, SEPT. 6.—lt is strange that publi journals have taken so little notice of the striking in telligence that the Diet of the Confederation has re solved to renew and confirm the resolutions respect ing the press which it agreed to in the year 1832. The correctness of the intelligence is incontrovertably proved by the official communication of it by the Go vernment of Holstein to tho Estates of that Duchy. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 6.—lt is said that the corona tion of the King and Queen is fixed for the 25th of September. BERLIN, SEPT. 9.—His Royal Highness Prince Waldemar has set out on his travels. It is understood that the young Prince will go first to Greece and then to Egypt, Asia Minor, and India, and to visit parts of China as may be acceptable. Two chests have arrived from England for his Royal Highness, which contain all imaginable machinery for such a journey, in cluding many closed vessels, with provisions and liquors. RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, SHPT. 2.—Letters from St. Petersburgh say that the Emperor, by the advice of the Minister of Public Instruction, has given orders to send a number of young men, at the ex pense of the Government, to Germany, Switzerland, France, Italy, and England, there to be qualified for the office of teachers in the Russian Universities. The persons to be selected are to be not merely men of talent, but of approved political sentiments, and pure character, that they may return home uncor rupted. The object of this measure is to rid gradually the Russian Universities of foreign professors, who, even with the best intentions, introduce foreign elements, and will never entirely submit to the Russian censorship and the military regulations. The employment of foreign men of learning has been long considered at St. Petersburgh as a neces sary evil, to which recourse was had only in the most urgent cases. This new measure may satisfy the Russians, but the German youth in the Baltic pro vinces are to be parties, who will not only be deprived of the benefit of a German education, but be driven nearer and nearer to Russian manners. STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. — The condition of some of the hosiery branches has slightly improved. The bobbin net trade in some de partments has also improved. The plain net factories have latterly had a fair market for their goods, which, though at very low wages and profits, has kept them going. The fancy branch keeps progressing, but we understand that the demand is principally for narrow breadths. Attention is now principally directed to the guide bar system, though ere long this will in all proba oility be superseded by other inventions, for which patents will be shortly obtained. The warp lace trade is in a flourishing statc.---Nottingliam Review. M. Blake, M.P., C. Power, M.P., Michael Staunton, M.P., S. Kelly, M.P., E. B. Roche, M.P., O'Conor Don, M.P., Henry Grattan, M.P. The usual toasts having been given, Mr. E. B. ROCHE, M.P., spoke to that of the people. The next toast, which was proposed by Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, M.P., as Chairman, was thus proposed to the meeting :—" Mr. O'Connell's health and happiness, and that he may live to see the darling object of his life ac complished—the Repeal of the Uniou."—(Loud and en- ;husiastic cheers, which continued several minutes with unabated enthusiasm.) Mr. O'CONNELL rose to return thanks. This was the signal for one of the most glorious and soul-cheering bursts of applause we have ever heard. Every man rose as if with one impulse—hearts. hands, and voices were called into requisition, and the scene of enthusiasm s hich followed was indescribable. The ladies in thet galleries: participated in the tribute of grateful affection, and as one cheer died away, another as gloriously trium phant, as full of honest joy and gratulation, broke forth with increased vigour. When at length silence was re stored, the Liberator proceeded to return thanks. He said—There cannot be one amongst you who supposes that I rise in order to pour out some sweet words to ex press my gratitude. I rise for another ,a better, a nobler purpose. I rise to instigate you all, and, through you, to arouse all Ireland to renewed exertion for the repeal of the union. —(Cheers.) It is very good to cheer— it is very pleasing to be cheered, provided it does not last too long—(Laughter)—but cheering alone won't do—words won't do—we must have actions. From this spot I call upon every man, of every creed, sect, and persuasion, throughout Ireland, to rally for Ire. land.—(Cheers.) The illustrious Grattan well said that he stood by the cradle of Irish independence—that he followed her to her grave. She is not dead, my friends—she only sleeps, and here I am calling upon you to sound the trumpet for her resurrection.—(Cheers.) Yes, she shall arise—she must rise—in her native dig nity—majesty ; she will arise glorious, and us far im mortal as anything earthly can be.—(Cheers.) Grace fully she shall proceed in her career of liberty and happiness, gently bowing the head of allegiance to the English crown, but asserting firmly her right to be go verned by her sons.—(Cheers.) Ours is a country that ought to be free, and must be free. She has been too long sunk in provincial degradation—she must be the sister and co-equal of England, and not continue the slave of any land.—(Cheers.) Ar.d are our prospects darkened ? Is the vista gloomy through wisich we be hold the coming dawn of Irish freedom ? No ;we are triumphant to-night—we are celebrating our triumph— it is an ovation for Ireland and freedom, and the glorious prospect of liberty shines bright and steady before us.— (Cheers.) We are celebrating a triumph. A celebrated French general has rightly asserted that difficulty does not consist in obtaining victory, but in profiting by it.— (Hear.) We have gained a.victory—certainly without personal difficulty to ourselves, for it came at a moment that it was least expected, and when we anticipated that the dark bolt of Ministerial injustice was shot closely on the door of our prison. At that very moment there came an unseen hand, that shook to pieces every ob stacle—the prison door was opened, and it was declared that Ireland had a right to take her measures to obtain legislative independence.—(Loud cheers.) How are we to profit by it ? By redoubling every exer tion—by increasing every effort—by organizing every peaceful energy—and by one and all being prepared to approach the Parliament at the commencement of the next session with the waited and combined voice of Ire.' land embodied in our petitions, giving England to under stand that as there is not rest for the wicked in the pre sence of the Almighty, so there shall be no rest from agitation until Ireland is righted.—(Cheers.) What is our first duty in that agitation ? Our first duty is to combine together the Irish of every sect and persuasion —to unite and combine all Irishmen of every gradation. of opinion who agree with us in thinking one thing ne cessary—the repeal of the union. —(Cheers.) I read with pleasure, though with some surprise (I called for it to the secretary), the letter of Mr. Sharman Crawford. —(Heer, hear.) He seems to think that the leaders of the agitation have excluded the federal principle from their consideration, and will not act with those who are simply federalists. lam happy from this spot—and I deem it part of my duty—to inform him that he is mistaken in that supposition. We prefer—most of us prefer—the simple repeal of the Act of Union ; but there is not one of us that would not be content to re peal the Act of Union, and substitute a federal parlia rnent.—(Hear, hear.) Not one. I don't think federalism to be the best ; but I never was ono of those who had such an overweening opinion of the infallibility of my own judgment, not readily to yield to argument, and co-operate with any man that thinks better. lam ready to join with the federalists to repeal the Act of Union, and obtain, in the words of Mr. Sharman Crawford the power for Irishmen to make laws to bind Ireland.— (Cheers.) We have in the Association numbers of per sons who have joined us as federalists.—(Bear, hear.) Mr. Grey Porter has proclaimed himself a federalist, and in the name of the Irish people—(Cheers)—l pro pose that he should become the leader of that move ment.—(Hear, hear.) I don't want to be leader. lam quite satisfied to be driver.—(Cheers and laughter.) I ask, is there any man who can doubt the truth of this proposition, that the union was carried by the foulest and most profligate means that ever disgraced. a Govern ment—force and fraud—bribery and bloodshed—the bayonet and the triangle—the corrupting influence of gold—every base passion was sent abroad—every foul motive was fostered into increased guilt—our country was filched from us, while we were made to contend against each other, and the greatest crime that ever was perpetrated by one nation against another was perpetrated by England against Ireland, in the extinction of the Irish Parliament ?—(bear). I turn then to the people of Ireland, and telling them that the guilt was that of the English Government, I ask them whose was the punishment ? The English Government sinned, and the Irish people bewailed and suffered for the crime in misery, poverty, distress, and destitution. —(Hear, hear.) Oh, sacred Heavens ! how can I look round this beautiful island, and not see that she contains all the material elements of the greatest prosperity?— (Hear, hear.) The industrial resources of Ireland have been recently brought before the public in the most dis tinct point of view by 1)r. Kane in his work.—(Cheers.) Her natural advantages are such, that in describing them even my prosy language assumes the dignity of poetic diction. Her perpetual fertility, her green fields, her verdant valleys, her noble mountains, pouring forth unceasing torrents that would supply power to turn the machinery of all the manufactories in the world. Her spacious bays—her noble harbours—her majestic estuaries open at every hour of every tide, and secure against every wind that sweeps through heaven, renders her a nation qualified in a transcendent degree to attain a proud and eminent position amongst the commercial countries of the universe. Nature has endowed her with all the elements of greatness, happiness, and freedom-- yet how comes it that she is not great, nor happy, nor free ? She is no Ration—she is a pitiful pelting pro vince, with a people who are everywhere the victims of distress, and would be the victims of despair were it not for their virtue. How comes this, I ask ?. It is all the effect of the deleterious union, and the unhappy system of things which now exists must for ever exist unless we resolve upon achieving legislative independence, and in sist that Irishmen shall have Ireland for themselves.— (Hear, hear.) But there are men who decline to join us from an apprehension of religious ascendancy being one of the consequences of a repeal of the union. Ah, Sir (turning to the Chairman), if you thought so, you would not be in that chair to-night`—(Bear, hear.) You have been actively and incessantly engaged in our movement during the last twelve months. Not only have you taken part in all our public manifestations during that period, but you have been sedulous in your atttendance upon our private com mittees, and you best know whether, from the first day of your connexion with us to the present hour, you ever heard from one of us a single expression derogatory to the religion of those who hold different tenets from the vast majority of the Irish people.—(Hear, bear.) No such expression you ever heard issuing from our lips, and for this manifest reason, that no such thought aver had existence in our hearts. As a Catholic, I have seen nothing but evil effects from religious ascendancy, and I hate it too intensely to permit that the pure faith which I conscientiously profess, and which I think the best, should be contaminated by it.—(Cheers.) But, while we disclaim all idea of ascendancy on our own parts, it is a privilege too odious that we should suffer it to be enjoyed by any other party whatever. Equality, not ascendancy, is what we labour to attain, and the whole philosophy of' our political principles may be comprised in this sentence —the smooth level of freedom —equal rights and equal liberties for all ; but ascendancy or superiority to none. —(Cheers.) This is our creed—this is our practice— these are the objects of oar political ambition. How proud would the enemies of Ireland be if our conduct had been such as to afford any colour or pretext Mr a doubt as to the sincerity of our motives. We are candid when we declare that we will not permit any as cendancy on the part of others; and we are equally sin cere when we say that we will not lay claim to any such thing for ourselves. We are struggling for the three , Tea test blessings th a t can b e en j oyed b y any people ; a tree press—freedom of education—and freedom of con science. This is the reason why we frankly and warmly call upon our Protestant fellow-countrymen to join us. The struggle in which we are engaged is one in which all classes of Irishmen may, whether Protestant, Catholic, or Presbyterian, zealously combine and co-operate with out the slightest sacrifice of principle. True, lam now only once more repeating what I have uttered many and many a time before; but political truths ripen in repetis tion, and, as a new generation is every hour arising, and as a new flow of blood is day by day gushing into the national veins, it is not absurd nor inexpedient, but on the contrary highly judicious and advisable, to reiterate continually a great political fact.—(Hear hear.) I speak to the young blood of Ireland, and from this spot I tell them that the hope of their country's salvation is based on the practical acknowledgement of this great truth, that that man who for the enforcement of his oa n doctrine has recourse to the soldier's bayonet or the policeman's staff, affords by his conduct the strongest possible presumptive evidence to show that he has no con scientious conviction of the genuine and intrinsic value of the tenets he professes. When he thanks it necessary to have recourse to the soldier, the constable, the excutioner, or the gaoler, he shows that he has no very strong con fidence in the intrinsic superiority of the opinions he professes, and that he suspects they have not truth or reason to support them. I care not who is the man who pursues such a course—l care not who may be the per secutor, whether Protestant, Catholic, or Presbyterian, in my mind he is no Christian at all.—(Cheers,) An other impediment in the course of repeal is the alleged danger of a cvnvulsioa in property ; but nothing was ntiffS l 16 00 Icien t :ourtf all il l .some °nil , ith oil el[
