PAISLEY.—Among the other branches of manu facture which now yield a lucrative employment to a considera ble portion of the population of Paisley, those of dyeing and printing form a prominent part. About thirty years back, two or three dye works, which did not afford work for more than two or three men each, were the sum total of that department of manufacture in the town. At the present day the number of works of that description will be at least ten times three, and on the average.we presume they will give employment to at least thirty hands each. Only ten years back, cloth printing was a branch of manufacture quite unknown in Paisley, but during that short interval, and particularly during the last three or four years, a great number of extensive works have been established, and many others are in course of erection, all of them affording well remunerated employment to a great num ber of both men and women of all ages. COACH ACCIDENTS.—On Monday is the Magna Charta coach was proceeding towards Lincoln, when about two miles from Newark, a passenger fell off and pitched on his head. The coach was immediately stopped, and the leader taken off in order to fetch a surgeon; but the mes senger galloppcd the horse at such a rate as to cause his death immediately on reaching the town. The person who first met with the accident was not seriously injured.— Tuesday the Wonder, Lincoln and Nottingham coach was upset a short distance from Bracebridge, owing to the reins breaking, and the horses running away. The coachman re ceived some severe bruises, but we have not heard that any passenger was hurt. —Lincoln Gazette.—[ Whenever the reins break the proprietors are exclusively and entirely culpable. Such an accident as the above could not possibly have oc curred but from the criminal parsimony of the proprietors. Reins to be safe evidently require to be renewed frequently. Odd rotten reins often used by coachmen arc disgracefully and dreadfully dangerous.] WOMAN AND CHILD POISONED.—Some time ago we noticed that a woman in the . parish of Cleish, had died under suspicious circumstances of poison having been adminis tered to her, and that a disinterment of the body was about to take place, to afford evidence if such had been the case. We are enabled to add that this has since taken place, and a scene of double murder has been disclosed of no ordinary descrip tion, it now being brought to light that, not only did the mo ther fall a victim to the hellish malice of a neighbour, but also her feeble offspring, who had only been a few days in this world when it had the fatal poison administered to it. The person who is suspected of this enormous crime is a woman named Betsy Burt, who, under the guise of a friend, was al lowed to wait upon her unsuspicious victim, on her recently being delivered of the child above referred to, and who seemed to have desired this opportunity to gratify a revenge she had long cherished against the family. The woman murdered is a Mrs. Spark, a native of Berwickshire, and has with her hus band been for some time in the employment of the Lord Chief Commissioner Adam, at Blairadam. The prisoner is now se cured in Kinross Gaol. Arsenic was the poisoned adminis tered, and such an occurrence as this enforces the necessity of druggists being extremely cautious to whom they sell this and other virulent poisons, so often administered with such fatal effect.—Stirling Journal. BANK or ENGLAND At a meeting of the Pro prietors of Bank Stock, held yesterday in th e C ourt - room o f the Bank of England, James Pattison, Esq., M. P., and Ti mothy Abraham Curtis, Esq., were re-elected Governor and Deputy-Governor for the ensuing year. The ballot closed at four o'clock, when the numbers were reported to be 87 for each of those gentlemen. Mr. Wells tendered a protest against the election, on the ground that under the terms of the Charter the gentlemen reelected were ineligible. The Govern or declined to receive the protest, inasmuch as Mr. Wells was not a proprietor of stock in his own right, but only as a trustee. The Governor and Deputy-Governor were then sworn in, and the Court adjourned. LONDON, - WEDNESDAY EITI4:4IiING, APRIL 6, 1836. DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL. On Monday last the town Of Notlmgbam exhi ited a scene of extraorditiat'y excitement and gaiety. For the last five or six weeks it was understood Olt Mr. O'Con nell intended to accept an invitation to a pry is dinner from the Liberals of that town. The conseque;i( ewas that ex pectation of a very extraordinary nature was created, and that public feeling for the last few days had been kept in a state of unremitted excitement. The panics calling them selves conservatives neglected none of their ordinary tricks to prevent Mr. O'Connell's reception from being cordial at Nottingham. But in vain—for to us,' an expression of his own, " the numbers of the thousands that met him, their looks, and other external significations, made him exclaim that it appeared to him as if he had been entering into one of the cities of his native country." _ The Hon. and Learned Gentleman was accompanied by Mrs. O'Connell, who appeared to be highly gratified with the reception her husband met with. Mr. O'Connell ar ed. in Nottingham shortly after one, and immediately proceeded to the Exchange-room, from which he addressed at least 15,000 persons assembled in the market-place. On his reaching the balcony, the commencement of his address was delayed for several seconds, which were occu pied with renewed shouts of applause. When the cheering had subsided, the Hon. Gentleman proceeded to address the assembled multitude as follows : Instead of making a speech, I have a question to ask you. I want to know if there is one Tory here ?—(" No, no," and laughter.) lam sorry there. is not, for I have an ac count to settle with the Tories. There was only one ca lumny ever uttered against me that I thought it worth my while to deny. It is so base a calumny that I scarcely find it possible to pronounce it _from..4o,y,.lihey dare- tv assert — Mat I was deiraded enough to traduce the maids and matrons of England. It is the only calumny I ever deigned to answer ; and my answer to it is, that it is a lie. —(Tremendous cheering.) It is the worst kind of lie, too, because, it is a wonton assault upon character.—(Hear.) I remember the time when knowledge was so little diffused, and the reign of ignorance was so prevalent, that when a Turk made his appearance in London he was baited by the people, who called him all manner of nicknames, un til at length some one of them, who was exceed ingly spiteful, in order to amalgamate national preju dices, christened him a French Turk. I want to mark this lie in somewhat of a similar way, and will, there fore designate it as a lie—the worst sort of lie a Tory lie.—(Cheers.) And they know it to be such ; for when upon a former occasion I addressed countless thousands in Birmingham as here, I repudiated the same imputation in precisely similar terms. The same thing was asserted in the Tory newspapers, and I contradicted it ; but, like true Tories, they still-continued to assert it. I therefore set all the slanderous crew at defiance.—(Cheers.) Let any man say when and where I ever said such a thing.—( Hear.) But they are too cunning for that. The moment they at tempt to give a date, the falsehood of the imputation will be made manifest. So I have done with my refutation of this egregious calumny. Having thus settled my account with the Tories, let me now ask you, are there any Radi cals amongst you ?—(Hear and laughter.) Enough of them, I dare say. Then I proclaim to you, that I, too, am a Ra dical—a thorough Radical.—(Cheers.) That is to say, that there is not a single abuse in Church or State that I would not wish to see thoroughly reformed. I have come here, not to gratify personal vanity—not to indulge myself by partaking in all the pride, pomp, and circumstance of a pub lic procession—not even to cheer myself (though what could be more cheering—what more delightful ?) with the shouts of the generous English people. It was not for any of these objects that I came amongst you. I came amongst you according to my vocation ; for, permit me to say, I am labouring out my salvation in endeavouring to do good to the land of my birth, and to advance the liberties of England.—(Cheers.) I beg to claim your attention to some few things I have to say to you. My claim is not individual, for nothing that can belong personally to so paltry an individual as myself can merit your attention. But the claim which I prefer is founded upon my public life and my public services. It is this claim that induces me to appeal to so distinguished a portion of this great nation, which of all the world is fore most in arts, in arms, in science, and in manufactures ; but foremost, above all, in the glorious and ever-memorable fact that, through the long dark night of despotism that op pressed other nations, the sacred flame of liberty was che rished by her with a lasting and imperishable fervour.— (Cheers.) 1 come to ask a question-1 ask it with confi dence of you, who watch the acts=pf public men, and mark their votes—have I ever given one vote. in Parliament to increase the power oi your number of your franchises ?—(LOW 3 erres Isr." Never.") Has ever a measure been introduced into Parliament the tendency of which was beneficial to Englaud, for which I have not readily voted ? Has ever a measure been sub mitted to the notice of the Legislature, the object of which was to increase the amount of English liberty, which I hay. not strenuously exerted myself to further ? Never. There never has been, and there never shall.—(Renewed cheering.) My claim upon you is, that I sympathize w ith you, and am anxious to see every industrious man enjoyi ng . the fruits of his own industry—to see every man in the community enjoyir -, those rights and privileges whi c h ought to belong to all. lam anxious that every cast and colour—no matter to what dye of slavery the sun may have darkened the human skin—should enjoy political freedom. I care not what may be the cast, the colour, or the creed of any man—l assert his eternal, immutable right to li berty.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) But these are only ge _ neral terms, and now I come to particulars. First , I as sert that every man ought to enjoy the privilege of voting for a Representative in Parliament.—(Hear.) I am a de cided advocate for universal suffrage.—(Cheers.) When I see one man born naked, and another booted and spurred —(Laughter)—l believe that this distinction has originated in the fictitious orders of society, and exists, perhaps, with a most beneficial effect ; but I never will consent to the cir cumstance of a mere difference of birth lopping off a right or destroying a franchise.—( Hear, and cheers.) Every man in England is taxed ; every man who is taxed and has not a vote is, in my opinion, robbed.—(Cheers.) I am also an advocate for vote by ballot, which will tend materially to advance the interests of humanity, and the constitutional purity of election. What is more easy than for a rich robber of a Tory manufacturer to say, " I'll turn you away if you do not vote as I please ?"—(Hear, hear.) What can the honest Englishman do ? He must either smother the cry of conscience, or proceed manfully to the hustings and vote as conscience dictates—(Cheers)—and then he may be compelled to turn out of his home with his starving , family, to gratify the spleen of a paltry Aristocrat.—(Loud applause.) When a man votes by the ballot he votes as he pleases. No man can persecute him for exercising the franchise as he pleases, for no one under that system knows how he has voted.—( Hear.) Another great advantage of the ballot is, that it does away almost with entirely with bribery and corruption. Where is the use in bribing a voter under the ballot system? Where is the security that the voter will give value for the raoney he has received ? ( Hear, hear.) If he was rascal enough to take a bribe, who knows but he will be scoundrel enough to promise one way and vote another ?—(Cheers and laughter.) You might as well buy a pig in a poke as a rascal's vote, if he voted by ballot.—(Renewed laughter.) I am also an advocate for short Parliaments. All over the world short accounts make long friends.—( Applause.) Another and a most important article in my political creed is the principle of religious liberty. My whole life has been one continued effort to make conscience free.—(Cheers.) I have always considered religion as too awful an affair to be meddled with by the in terference of man in his state councils. It is a sacred obli- gation existing between man and God—between the Creator and the created being.—(Hear.) That Creator alone can scrutinize the secrets of hearts—man can only listen to the outward profession.—(Cheers.) The hypocrite can assume the exterior of religion, and the sanctimonious tyrant can use it as a plea for persecution.—(Renewed applause.) I am, therefore, for leaving conscience free from the blasphe mous interference of human law. And I tell you more—l am for letting every man pay his own parson. Even the parson himself will be bettered by this arrangement, for he will become more attentive to the duties of his station — more solicitous to watch over the spiritual interests of those who voluntarily pay him.—(Cheers and clappin g .) If any man came to one of us and said, " I am going to law, and you must pay my lawyer," would we not enjoy a hearty laugh a t hi s expense ? If anot h er were to, accost yo u thus, „ " My son is sick, and you must pay for a doctor," would you not say that the son was sick, and the father mad.—( Hear and laughter.) What care I for a spiri tual doctor more than for a temporal one? I will pay no doctor but the one I want to prescribe for me.—(Cheers.) That is common sense and common honesty, and these are qualities which are now, thank God, becoming predominant—(Great applause.) There is no country in the world where common sense and honesty exercise so powerful a dominion as in Eng land. How is it that a small island has become mistress of the world? How is it that for ages no nation has been saf t eas En g l an d was her enemy ?—(Ch eers .) Why, bu in spit e o f man y bad instit u ti ons , E ng li s hmen always kept the back-bone of common se nse unbroken and because,as long untouched.--- , (Cheers.) It is this common sense that has been the perpetual antidote of Toryism in England, and it is the ab§ente of that invaluable characteristic that kept other nations subject. A Ftcnehman once endeavoured to demonstrate to an Englishman what flid Englishman could by no manner of means be persuaded to belicv—that" France was superior to England. " Who was it?" said the Frenchman, in the progress of the argument, with a look of triumph, " Who was it that invented frills and minas for shirts ? Was it not a Frenchman ?" " Aye," rejoined John Bull, with a knowing smile ; " but it was England invented the shirts to add to the ._frills."—(Laughter.) That is the kind of common sense which prevails in Eng:: land ; and I come forward here as one of the apostles of common sense, of truth, of justice, and of freedom.—(Ap plause.) lam of opinion that every great and organic change in the constitution of a country can be brought about by the perfectly legal combination of the moral forces of men convinced of what is right, and despising what is wrong. The Tories are rich in England, and yet see what little power they now possess in Parliament. A large majority in a House of Commons of the Tories' own choice, has been de monstratively proved to be composed of staunch Reformers. My object is to cell on Reformers of every class to rally de terminedly, conjointly, quietly, but perseveringly, to obtain the further amelioration, wherever required, of all our in stitusions,—(Cheers.) For that purpose we must all com bine. A battle was formerly fought between the Whigs and Reformers. No one took a stronger part in that bates dun I did. I fought the Whigs while they were attassdif Ireland. Can I forget that in that struggle one afssilr most powerful petitions against the Coercion t.i. came from Nottingham?—(Hear.) Men of Not ' bins:LA - . fAhank you.—(Loud and continued cheering.) -Thfrittilissn was admirahlr-serittesss--,lts---posissts—wase powerfully argued. It was full of English truth, and re plete with English generosity. Men of Nottingham, from my heart I thank you.—(Renewed applause.) But the times have changed. The Whigs of that day were mis taken in their views ; and, God bless them for it ! they are the best friends to Ireland now. To be sure, they are not going as far as you or I might wish ; for, I avow it openly, I am a Radical ; but I want to rally the Ra dicals round the standard of the Whigs ; for we are noS to lose sight of the fact, that the present Ministry are going a good way in the paths of Reform. They are proceeding steadily and securely. Toryism, by the gradual nature of the amelioration which his Majesty's present Ministers are introducing, is deprived of its strongest argu ment. Hitherto, the Tories were constantly exclaiming that our projects of reform were leading fast to revolution. The rich Tories—many of them are rich—(A voice from the crowd, " The Duke of Newcastle")—their exor bitant wealth slakes them afraid of revolution. But who is now so silly as to entertain such fears, when the Whigs are seen removing so gradually and so peacefully the abuses of cenairies ? They have become a kind of drag-chain on the wheel of reform, making it arrive safely on the gsneral level of security. I have made a profession of political faith to you, in order to show how I, a thorough RaCical, can be deeply impressed with the de termination to slake friends for the present Government. That is my mail), my greatest object.—(Hear, and cheers.) It is often said that mine is an irregular ambition, but I can resign every del4htful creation of my fancy when 1 see the Whigs conductisg the business of the country with straight forward resolution, refined by that singular good temper which dignifies every effort, and renders more delightful each effort to cure to the people a further accession of freedom.—(Loud cheering.) Let us then rally round the Whigs.—(Renewed cheering.) I implore of you, who se nobly petitioned against the Coercion Bill, to assist Ireland once more by strenuously supporting his Majesty's Mi• nisters in theii endeavour to introduce a number of measures which are intimately identified with that coun try's welfare.—(Hear, hear.) For six hundred Years Ireland has known nothing of the connection with this country but through a series of afflictions and injury.— (Cries of " Herr, hear.") We have fought your battles—we have bled profusely in supporting the integrity of the empire. The British decks were seldom, if ever, untrodden by Irish men in the moment of victory. The British grenadiers were never led on to triumph by the gallant Ferguson without Irishmen joining heroically in the melee, which glorified England by its victorious result,—(Loud and enthusiastic cheering.) We have fought your battles—we have shared your burdens. Then why should we not also participate in your advantages ?—(Cheers, and cries of " You should, you should.") Six hundred years is, God knows, long enough to torture any people for the sake of experiment. At at events it is now no novelty. • It wassiant, however. a .

Shan't we get equal laws?—(Cries of " Yes, you shall.") Shan't we get equal rights ?—(Cries of " Yes ; surely."\ I tell you we never will be content with less.— (Cheers.) The countless thousands over whom lam scat tering- my voice in the accents of Erin's mountains must attest that what I ask is only just and reasonable, and that the refusal to grant it would be a crime towards Ireland. —(Hear, and cheers.) The prospects of Ireland are, thank God, brightening. As far the imperfections of the law can be remedied by good government, that remedy is being applied.—(Cheers.) Lord Mulgrave is filling the office of the hind's representative in a manner in which an Irish Chief Governor never filled it before. --(Hear, hear.) His Lordship is controlled by no pre judices. He has no partialities—no preferences, grounded upon distinctions of creed or party. His countenance shines only on those who are actuated by the same sense of justice and impartiality which is so predominant in his Ex cellency's own mind.—(Cheers.) The Government sus tains him in his efforts ; for they see that Ireland ought to be treated as an integral portion of the British dominions, and should constitute a portion of the strength instead of the weakness of England. Why should not the eight mil lions of Irishmen be combined with the sixteen or eighteen millions of British subjects? What nation on the face of stroErse. franchise ntgiusclustlacerl the earth would be so strong or so powerful as England, Scotland, and Ireland, thus combined and amalgamated in the brotherhood of a strict community of rights and privi leges. When I went first to Parliament, I found that very little attention was paid to Irish affairs. I recollect repeat edlyhearing such conversation as this between English Mem bers :—" What business is this?" " Oh, this is an Irish row ;" or, " Oh, then, let us be off ; we shan't trouble our selves with such a shocking bore." Hardly forty Members could then be got to stop in the House, which number was indispensable, when any subject connected with Ireland was about to be introduced. I have the pleasure of informing you that Irish affairs are now treated in the House of Com mons with proper respect and attention.—(Hear, hear.) Though we are cursed by a virulent opposition of a bi goted party, the great majority of the representatives of the people support the Ministry in their endeavours to do justice to Ireland. There are six measures now before ts to P sf a e r lfs l , i bl a ri m cehl e a n ins t d , t. all o i T 1 a o vi if have whichfitirls the police is h the a v eref constablese Constabularyr cn c e to a ptillpi Bill, li, s n i tt t iel a de l from the honest portion of the people ; not, as at present, i s e e d le g c e t s e . d_in ( many instances from the dregs of the Orange B of ee L au or s c e ls a .

Why, it was kicked out of the ( personi ea r, of h t e h a e r . ) name Do e fyou Daniel know the O'Connell rea- supported the Bill.—(Cheers and laughter.) There was logic for you. There was a taste of the truth of Toryism ; politically a sample of Tory honesty.

Why ? Because Lord Stanley chose it. Lord (then Mr.) Stanley, chose to exhibit his impla cable hostility to Ireland, and this most essentially, nay, speaking, vital measure, was accordingly barked. --(Hear, h ear , h ear .) Hi s vo t e o utweighed the press ing neces s iti es o f I re l an d, an d t h e lib er ties of a powerful country were forced to kick the beam at the beck of one man.---(Ch eers. , ) In the present Parliament, though it was summo ne d un d er th e ausp i ces o f Peel and Welling ton, a n d though hundreds of thousan d s o f poun d s were lavi s hl y expen d e d f or t h e purpose o f packi ng i t w ith Tories----even i n thi s P ar li amen t a m ajority of sixty-seven declared in favour of Ireland ; a majority sufficient to overcome all opp os iti on .

Its fate will be determined then ; and h ere I am as counse l f or Ireland, pleading the cause of the green land of my birth.--(Enthusiastic cheers.) Oh, I dearly love that land. She is superabundant in her produce. No burning sun ever scorches her into sterilit y . No • t in er' s snow e ver c hills her fecundity. Ever g r een , ever lov e l y , h er mountains r i se t o the heavens, and her vv streams roll down those mountains' sides with a voice of music that speaks as from eternity, proclaiming the salu brity of the stream, the greenness of the valley, the ma- PRICE 7D. jestic sweep of the mountain's brow, and the fertility of the plains beneath.—(Loud and continued cheers.) Pardon me for thus suffering myself to be carried away by the force of my feelings. The Hon. Gentleman then pro ceeded to state that the third measure was one for the ap propriation of the surplus church revenues to the education of the people and other uscfel public purposes, and -having refuted the Tory objections to this measure, he proceeded to observe that the House of Commons had determined that Ireland should have Corporation Reform. A Bill for that purpose, which had passed the Commons, was going up to the Lords. a conjunction of wisdom it would meet there—to what t: galaxy of statesmen it was about to be submitted. The LynJhursts and the Winchilseas, and the Rodens and NewcastLes , and Lord Wynford, the worst of all—he would not call them out of their names, he would say—the rest of the Lords. A reform of the Lords was a topic very much agitated during the course of the past year. He did not ask for that now. Those measures which he had parti cilarised were going before them. Their Lordships would either receive or reject them. If they should receive them the question of reforming the Upper House would be postponed until they saw whether they were determined to do ,more mischief. If they rejected them, let them take the consequence.—( Hear, hear.) He warned their Lord ships from that spot that they were on their trial, and the further tenure of their political existence depended upon their own prudence and discretion ; for they should not reckon too much on the generosity of the people of Eng land.—(Cheers.) He therefore would place their mea sures in the holy keeping of the good people of England, who, he was convinced, would not suffer the triumph of justice to be thwarted. His was the hand which had drawn up the_petiti, u._which_a,ooo Irish Roman Catholics had signed for the relief of .the Dissenters of England ; and would this multitude of honest - Dissenters whom he then addressed be deficient in gratitude to the people of Ireland, whose exer tions were so mainly instrumental in securing to them a full measure of civil and religious liberty ?—(Cheers.) Six weeks after the presentation of that petition, Peel was found to yield, and the concession of the Dissenters' claims imme diately followed. That was true Christian charity on the part of the Irish Catholics. Ireland called to them for justice—would they suffer that voice to be stifled by the Lords ?—(Loud cheers, and cries of " No, no.") The Hon. Gentleman then announced his determination to give up the repeal—everything, if justice were done to Ireland. He complimented the people of Nottingham on having sent such excellent representatives to Parliament, one of whom (General Ferguson) stood beside him; and concluded by drawing a strong picture of the slaughters of Rathcormac and Inniscarra, and by appealing to the sympathies of the assembled thousands to avert the recurrence of such shock ing scenes, by joining him in his cry of " Justice to Ireland." At the conclusion of the address there were several dis tinct rounds of applause. THE DINNER. The large room at the Exchange, capable of holding at least 400 persons, was completely thronged, and, from the best information, it may be stated that if the room was tre ble as large, and the dinner tickets three times as dear, there would not have been a single vacant seat. The room was decorated with very much taste, and the flags and mot tos that were suspended from the walls testified that the people of Nottingham felt a strong sympathy in the grie vances of which their Irish fellow-subjects complain. THOMAS WAKEFIELD, Esq., the Mayor of Nottingham, took the Chair. Among the company present, besides Mr. O'Connell, were Lord Rancliffe, Sir R. Ferguson, Colonel P. Thompson, Colonel Wildman, Mr. Boothby, and several other of the most distinguished liberals of Not tingham. • The cloth having been removed, The CHAIRMAN, after some appropriate remarks, said he was sure that there was no person whom he was ad dressing that would not drink with three times three " The King." The toast was drunk with the usual honours. The CHAIRMAN then said that the next toast was one which he always gave with pleasure, and which he knew they would drink with very great satisfaction ; that toast was, " The people, the only source of legitimate power." He had been formerly charged with drinking in that room the health of the people before that of the King, and very likely the Tories would now accuse him of inconsistency in drinking the King before he called upon them to pledge the people. For his own part he wished to be able at all times to put both toasts together, as he wished for nothing more than to see united that which contributed to the happiness ofthe greatest number. The toast was drunk with loud cheers. gave " The health of the Queen," which was drunk with general cheering. The CHAIRMAN said that the next toast he had to offer to their notice would be one that was dear to them not only on account of the principles of loyalty which it embraced, but from the strong expectations of good government which they all experienced from the hope that the Princess Vic toria would one day occupy the throne of this country. Their hope was founded on the way the illustrious Princess was educated, which gave them every reason to believe that her attachment to the people of this country was such, that her reign (provided she lived) would be a blessing to the nation at large. The toast he would propose was, " The Princess Victoria, and may every machination against her meet the fate of the Orange conspiracy." The toast was drunk with loud cheers. The next toast proposed was " The Duke of Sussex, as illustrious in character as he was in station." This toast was drunk with loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN then said that the next toast he had to offer to their notice, was one which he was confident they would receive with the same pleasure which he felt in pro posing it ; he proposed the health of " Lord Melbourne and his Majesty's Ministers, and may they maintain an on ward progress in the path of reform." Drunk with very great cheering. The CHAIRMAN again rose and said, he requested all the gentlemen present to fill their glasses to the brim, for the time had arrived when he should have the pleasure to pro pose to them a toast which was more particularly and im mediately the object for which they had assembled. It was highly gratifying to him to propose such a toast, for the fact of leis being enabled to do so proved the rapid advance that liberal ideas had made, and showed with what great speed religious prejudices were wearing away. It proved that the English people were now prepared to give their approbation to one whom they believed sincere in his intentions and in his objects, though that individual might entertain, on some matters, different opinions from themselves, and be of quite an opposite creed.—(Hear.)s They had been told that Mr. O'Connell had been asking for too much ; he denied any such assertion. That Hon. and Learned Member could never ask for too much, as long as Ireland had a grievance to redress, and as long as she did not enjoy the same rights with England. So long as such should be the state of that country, what the Hon. and Learned Gentleman now asked would be little, and he ought never to rest satisfied. Mr. O'Connell asked for nothing more than justice ; and he be lieved they would not refuse that. He would not detain them any longer from the pleasure of hearing a gentleman whose health he would propose—that of " Daniel O'Con nell, Esq., the heroic asserter of a nation's rights." The toast was pledged with loud cheers, which lasted for at least ten minutes. Mr. O'CONNELL instantly got upon the table, and when the applause had partially subsided, he spoke in substance to the following effect :—lt is impossible that I should be insensible to this marked compliment. It is impossible that I should not be overpowered with this more than kind reception. But you know little of me if you imagine that any feeling personal to myself, or any gratification of my own could give that delight which my soul experiences at at the pledge and presage of your support which I receive from that cheer. Your Chairman said well that you would not come here if I asked for anything but justice to my country. I know you would not come here if I asked for less than justice.—(Great applause.) If I asked for more, you would properly resent it. If I asked for less, you would still more properly despise me. I seek no more—l will not take less.—(Great cheering.) I have not come here for the purpose of gratifying any idle vanity, or for the display of any paltry pride. I come here as a kind of " fact in history." I come here to form the humble but permanent link which is to bind three great nations toge ther—nations which have, alas ! been hitherto separated from the basest of motives, and with the worst of consequences. ._(Hear.) I acknowledge my object is two-fold. I wish to see in England and Scotland a hearty bond of union between Reformers of every grade and of every class. I wish to see the distinctions which have hitherto existed between Whigs, Reformers, andßadicals buried for ever in oblivion—(Hear, hear)—and it is my fervent desire to see the name of " Reform" emblazoned on the standard under which we will all march to victory.--(Applause.) It is not a mere tran sient opinion, fleeting through my mind, it is the result of the most perfect conviction. I am thoroughly convinced that a sot of men does not exist more thoroughly deteri mined to work out quietly, but peace full y , the principle reform i n ,lvery department of the Sta te than his Maitcost Ybe present Micistry.--(Hear , it (Hear, hear.) I believe wise—l knny, them to be good ; and I am q u t e li c e d onvince 40 4/ 646 " * "" 4-1 - 24 . 2 at nin the slowness of their movements there is seed ity to the cause of reform, and certainly of progressive im provement. Every measure which they have adopted has been carefully digested, and tarried maturely into effect.— (Hear, hear.) They are the sincere friends of reform. This is my thorough conviction ; and though they do not proceed as far as many Radicals would vvi3h, it cannot be dispute l by any reasonable man that they go an honest and a fair lengih.—(Loud cheers.) If they do' not go the length which we may reasonably desire, the ree will be the more easily obtained. lam proud of the compliment paid me by your talented chairman. For the first tioe in my hie I have been asked to a dinner at which the mayor of a corporation presided.—(Great applause.) How oddly it will sound in Ireland, when they hear it, in a day or two. The notion of my dining in company - with the mayor, by that very personage's invitation, will come upon them with the effect of enchantment. They will think that this ma "or must be some wild animal or another—some beast of prey —.like that which the caricature shows ready to devour , poor little Red Riding Hood.—(Cheers and laughter.) Their delight will be augmented by the hope it will give them of soon participating in the amended English system. Such mayors as he who has presided with so much talent and dignity this day, they cannot, I admit, expect to find. Never have I seen the talent displayed by that gentleman exceeded—hardly ever equalled.—(Long continued cheer ing.) They will, however, possibly be enabled to elect mayors from amongst themselves equally embued with the true popular spirit, and the liberality of principle of the r egyors will compensate for any deficiency of talent which they nzay possibly exhibit. You all know that Ireland has been misgoverned for six centuries. I defy any man to dis prove that fad, I defy any man to deny that abuse has thriven in Ireland until at length the sacred name of reli gion has been enlisted in the cause of tyranny, and oppres sion was rendered dreadfully complete, when the name of the great God was blasphemed in order to grind down his creatures to the dust. This, Sir, is, alas ! the epitome of Ireland's history. Will any man deny this ?—though I know your Tories have miraculous powers of face— ( Laughter)—and they are matchless in falsification, which when translated into Irish, signifies falsehood. I defy the most hard-featured Tory that ever made his appearance in the market-place of Nottingham to deny that Ireland has been misgoverned, so that it is absolutely shocking to con template its nature and amount. When I first felt the in spiration of love of countrylindling in my mind and warm ing my bosom,, I found my kindred borne down by the weight of a penal code which, while it affected to give su periority to one faith, gave a pernicious ascendancy to the worst violators of the laws alike of God and man. I could' not exist in such a state of society. I resisted it constitu tionally, but successfully resisted it. The chain that bound us is broken, and here I stand disenthralled before you. It was then said we bad pledged ourselves to look for nothing beyond Catholic Emancipation. Never was there a' greater falsehood uttered. Catholic Emancipation asserted a principle, which was alike valuable to the Catholic in Ireland, the Dissenter in England, the Protestant in France, and the Christian in Constantinople.—(Loud cheers.) But its principle be nefit in Ireland was, that it afforded the means of achieving great good for the country. So far was the statement from being true, that our enemies called us and me in particular, " an agitator with ulterior views." I avowed it, and told them that until I saw the prosperity of Ireland placed on an equal footing with that of England, I would still continue in "agitation with ulterior views."—(Hear.) The first experiment I made for the purpose of calling attention to the affairs of Ireland in a united Parliament was unsuccessful. Finding myself thtis foiled, I called for a repeal Of " the Union. I said that the Union had not worked fairly. I pointed to England and Scotland prosperous, and to Ireland weak and impoverished.—(Hear, hear.) I demonstrated that the advantage was all upon one side, and the oppression on the other ; and I here declare the fact that I am now making an experiment on the generosity and the justice of Eng land—(Great applaus4—that I have postponed now, and that the people of Ireland are ready to abandon for ever, the cry of " Repeal," upon one condition, which is, the at tainment of equal justice.—(Applause.) But the op pression of the people of Ireland is on the point of ceasing. The regeneration of my native land is no longer a dream or a subject of prophecy. A chief go vernor has been sent over to that country, whose every act is one of perfect wisdom, and emanates from the pure una dulterated kindness of his heart.—(Cheers.) As far as the administration of public affairs can be rendered by the Executive conformable to the ends of justice, Ireland is now dealt fairly by—(Hear, bear, hear)—and the benefits of the union are now beginning to be realized and thoroughly felt. But it is not to be expected that the liberties of, great people are to be placed dependent on the breath of any human being, and the possibility must be contemplated of such men as Haddington, Peel, and Hardinge, again -- crushing the short-lived hopes which have arisen in the hearts of my fellow-countrymen. We cannot suffer our liberties to be placed in dependence on the mere casualty which may cease to exist to-morrow. Would you ? (Shouts of " No.") That is a No" which is written in the blood of one of your Kings, and in the abdication of a nother.—(Applause.) I cannot refrain from congratulat ing the men of Nottingham upon the fact that one of their Mmbers is a Cabinet Minister. See how that Ministry have prograseed in their efforts to do justice to every per ti;.‘n of the enwire. During the present Session they have brought in different mersures, all of which are likely to be of incalculable benefit to the Irish i,eople.—( Hear.) The Hon. Gentleman then enumerated the Bills as he had done during his speech in the morning. With reference to the first of those measures, the Constabulary Bill, Sir Robert Peel was lavish of his pron:ises. The Hon. Baronet's con duct upon that occasion reminds one of the distich— " Of promise prodigal when power you want, Great speeching skill, and aelf-approving cant." We should have been better pleased had he kept the cant to himself, and given us the Bill,—(Laughter.) Why should not Irishmen have the same Jteform extended to them which you enjoy ? Our tenures ace the same, and why not our franchise ? Alas! there was an individual who put his veto upon the measure. Lord Stanley (then Mr. Stanley) turned it over, and mutilated, and cut it up, and almost spat upon it.—(Applause.) We shall have another turn or two before we rest contented without that full mea sure of Reform. We will have it ; for it surely will not diminish your liberties to increase ours. The Hon. Gen tleman then alluded to the provisions of the Bill for the appropriation of the su.rplus revenues of the Irish Church, and in allusion to the objections of the opponents of that measure, which he described as the allocation of the mere surplus revenues to the education of Protestants, Catholics, and Dissenters, he proceeded as follows :—You may laugh the bigots, then, in the face. All that is asked is, that when a clearly proved surplus exists, it should be devoted to the great national work of educating the people—a purpose which Tories alone would attempt to thwart.—(Cheers.) The last measure to which I will allude is the Bill for Mu nicipal Reform in Ireland. So avowedly corrupt are those Corporations, that not one man was found in the House of Commons hardy enough to stand up in their defence. The Irish Corporation pare admitted to be to the very last de gree virulent and exclusive. Their breasts are fi!ied with every bad feeling which sacriligious impiety in the name of the God of religion can inspire into the breasts of demons in the human shape. As long as Corporate Sheriffs are per mitted to exv.eise the powers of that important office in Ireland, I have not the least hesitation in asserting that not one out of ten thousand men opposed to them in poli tical opinions would, when eha,-ged with an offence of at all a political character, succeed in obtaining a verdict in his favour from a jury of those sheriffs' packing. Is this a state of things which should be suffered to exist ?—(Hear, hear.) Englishmen ! will you submit to this prostitution of the.sa cred ends of justice to the factious purp,eses of party ?—(No, no!) If you did, your ancestors would start forth from their graves, and the walking ghosts and disinOrred fragments of st you to teach the bones of your fathers would come amoLV you to be honest.—(Loud cheers.) lask you whether Ireland has not su ffi cient grou n d s for incessak At . complaint? Six millions five hundred tho usand of the rish people are Catholics. Seven hundred thousand of the II is!' people arc Protestants and Protestant Dissenters. A measure of the most salutary description was introduced into Par liament for the appropriation of the enormous s,irplus revenues of the Established Church in Ireland, dilme trically opposed as it is to the religious persuasion of the present bulk of the people, to useful public purposes. The Lords, however, clipped the wings of th at measure ; but the English people will give it the po wer of flying again.—(Cheers.) The spirit of political trot:: and ju.s tice is progressing with a railway velocity , and those situ tary measures which cannot be denied to England and o rtth Scotland, cannot be withheld from Ire land. Ne H refe rence to the Irish Corporation Refo rm Bill, the on. Gentleman said that even Peel, with all his powers of face, was unable to say one word in favour of corporat e institutions as they existed in the sister country_; and that in the same predicament were included Sir H. Hard' dinge, as great a soldier and as bad a Statesman as ever " lived • Sir James Grah am, the Pietist of the North ;" and the Recorder of Dublin, who looked upon that occa sion very like an undertaker at a rich man's funeral— proud to carry out so fine a corpse—(Great laughter.) Stanley wa s for issuing a commission of lunacy against the whole country. After some further observations, the Hon. Gentleman said that the cry of " Justice to Ire land" would resound from the market-place of Notting ham until it would reach St. Stephen's, and penetrate the recesses of St. James's ; and it would then be seen who• ther the Lords would place themselves in direct opposi tion to the wishes of the people of England, emphatically pronounced in the very centre of that powe ful country. If the Lords be mad enough to crush the measures he had been describing, the Union would at once become a cobweb. But he did not despair of his country.—(Hear,
