The steady success and increasing prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors, at the last annual investigation declare a second Bonus, averaging 60 per cent. on the amounts hive ed on each Policy effected on the Profit scale. UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON. Established by Act of Parliament in 1834. DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED. This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL INCOME being UPWARDS of 72,0001. In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of tho Participating Class from the time they were effected. The Bonus added to olicies from March, 1834, to December 31, 1840, is as follows Sum Time Sum added Sum Time Sum added Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured.

Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident Directors, Edward Boyd, Esq., and E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., of No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London. BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COM PANY, 1, Princes-street, Bank, London. _ . Empowered by Special Act of Parliament (4 Vick, cap. 9.) HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM. Persons assured according to these rates are allowed credit (with. out security) for half the amount of the first seven Annual Pre miums, paying interest thereon at the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum, with the eption of paying off the Principal at any time, or having the amount deducted from the sum assured when the Policy becomes a claim. Policies may thus be effected at lower rates than are generally required fer the term of seven years only ; whilst the holders have the same security for the payment of their claims, whenever death may happen, as if they paid double the amount of premium, which would be charged for assurances effected in the usual way. Extract from the Half Credit Rates of Premium. Annual Premium required for an Assurance of 1001., for the Whole Term of Liic. Age. Half Premium for Seven Whole Premium after Years.

FORGERY. —CAUTION.—Some unprincipled persons are advertising spurious Teas under a forged title, in the - hope of passing them off as Captain PIDDING'S TEAS. Pur chasers of his Howqua's Teas will observe that all genuine packages hear his signature thus—" Captain John Rhodes ridding, Hon. Com pany's Service." The advantages possessed by Captain ridding— among others, the having secured for himself the exclusive importa tion of these Teas—are the result of eight voyages made to China, and five years spent in that country. Captain ridding has only two agents in London—Verrey, 229, Re gent-street, corner of Hanover-street ; also 3, Pall-mar, next the IlaymarkPt ; and T. Littlejohn and Son, King William-street, City. For country agencies, address to Captain ridding, College-hill. CADETS, ASSISTANT-SURGEONS, OF FICERS, and PASSENGERS, proceeding to INDIA or the COLONIES, are strongly urged, previous to their incumbering them selves with the old-fashioned wooden sofas and iron bedsteads, ad vertised as patents, to inspect JOHNSON'S (late Merriman) PA TENT BEDSTEADS, which, for warm climates, reclaim neither mattress nor bolster. To be seen at Johnson's Outfit Warehouse, lA, Piccadilly. THE PATENT COMPOSITE CANDLES. These Candles burn without snuffing more brilliantly than the best Wax, and are cheaper in proportion to the light given than the commonest Tallow Candles. The Patentees respectfully beg all pur chasers to ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent Candles," as many imitators have adopted the term "Composite." They arc sold by most of the respectable Tallow Chandlers throughout the King dom, and are supplied wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall, and by Palmer and Co., Sutton. street, Clerkenwell.

IMPORTANT LETTER FROM MR. O'CONNELL. DUBLIN, OCT. 14.—The usual weekly meeting of the Association was held this day in the Conciliation Hall. On the motion of Mr. MAU RICE O'C O NNELL the chair was taken by J. P. Somers, Esq., M.P. The CHAIRMAN briefly addres::ed the meeting. Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL handed in a few sums of money, and then proceeded to read the following very important letter from Mr. O'Connell TO THE ACTING SECRETARY OF THE LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION. " Darrynane Abbey, Cahereiveen, 2d Oct., 1844. " Sir—l am extremely anxious to bring the emphatic attention of the Association to that which I deem the most important of all the duties which they have to per form' at the p resent most auspicious period. We have obtained the most valuable victory that ever was achieved, by purely moral means. The victory of Wa terloo was•the mere triumph of physical force, combined with military organization ; it was a brutal and a bloody scene, and much of what are called its glories depended upon chance and accident. " Ours, on the contrary, was the triumph of the first principles of civil liberty, and of the judicial merits of our glorious cause. That which triumphed was the great. constitutional principle which sanctions the right of free discussion to the inhabitants of these realms. It was that principle which battled with, and triumphed over, the well-arranged conspiracy to extinguish popular sentiment, and to limit and restrain the efficacy of peace able popular exertions. " The object we had in view was perfectly legal and perfectly constitutional—the repeal of an Act of Parlia ment ; and the efficacy of our struggle ought, in consti tutional reasoning, to depend on the numbers of those who were convinced of the necessity of such repeal. The effort of Ministerial despotism was, by the prosecution, to prevent the exhibition of that multitudinous public sentiment which could alone require or obtain success. It was a struggle on the part of our governors to make the exhibition of the extreme pressure of a grievance sti mulating multitudes to call for redress, a conspiracy and a crime. It was the manifest design of the Irish Govern ment to introduce a now doctrine into our law—the doc trine that numbers constituted crime ; so that when the oppression of a tyrannic law affected the great majority of the nation, that very majority should be treated as essentially criminal, and be used as a legal instrument to prevent the redress of the grievance. The more univer sal the cry for relief, the more impossible would a suc cessful prosecution have made it to obtain redress. " Our triumph on the jury question was, if possible, still more vitally important. If it were once established that the jury list might, with safety, be fraudulently spoliated or arranged, on the ground that the fraud was not committed by the Sheriff himself, then, indeed, the trial by jury would become a delusion, a mockery, and a snare !' "We have, in truth, gained a great victory. Yet there has been nothing of the insolence of triumph in our demeanour. We have borne our success with meek ness, and in the fullest spirit of conciliation. " But we should be guilty of a criminal neglect of duty if we did not avail ourselves of that success in order to achieve the great object of our desires—the restora tion of an Irish Parliament. " Our business is not to irritate or provoke any por tion of our follow-subjects. Our duty —our sacred duty —is to conciliate all classes and persuasions; and, if pos sible, to procure the entire Irish people to join in the struggle to obtain the right of Irishmen to legislate for themselves. Upon the subject of the repeal near nine-tenths of the Irish people are perfectly agreed. They are con vinced of its necessity. They have no doubt of its practicability. The monster meetings have placed be yond a shadow of doubt the determination of the over whelming majority of the Irish to obtain the restoration of their own Parliament. If that fact had not been demon • strated by the meetings of last year, we should continue to hold similar meetings, now that the legality of the largest possible peaceful assemblages is fully established by the unanimous opinion of all the English judges. It was in the 6th and 7th counts that the holding of those monster meetings was alleged to be a crime; and all the English judges were unanimous that those counts were essentially and radically bad. We could, therefore, hold more monster meetings, if it were at all necessary; but there is no such necessity. The opinion of the Irish people was emphatically pronounced in the forty-one monster meetings we held last year: aati as it is not ne cessary to hold any more such meetings, it Would appear to be insulting braggadocio to revive them. We .ill re. vive them only in the case, that it should with any plau sibility be hereafter asserted that the mass of the people had changed their minds on the subject of repeal, and were no longer in favour of the Irish making laws for Ireland. " /laving thus in favour of repeal the overwhelming majority of the Catholic population—clergy and laity, and having also been joined by many, very many Pro testants—by a large body of Presbyterians, and by some other enlightened Protestant Dissenters, it only remains for us to conciliate and combine the 'residue of the Pro testants of every class and description. This, I repeat, is our task, oar duty—oar pleasing duty. " What is it which prevents the remaiuder of the Pro testants of all descriptions from joining for the repeal ? Not any disinclination to have Ireland legislated for by an Irish Parliament--upon that subject Mr. Porter's letter is a demonstration that all the Irish, of every class, are agreed. But the combination of all is pre vented by idle jealousies and unfounded fears. "It is our business to remove these jealousies and absurd fears. We should entreat, implore, conjure our Protestant fellow -countrymen to listen to us. We should solemnly assure them that the Catholics desire no civil nor ecclesiastical ascendency ; all they desire is perfect equality—that perfect equality which the repeal of the union alone can produce. "We can most confidently assert that the Irish Pro testants ought to place unlimited confidence in their Catholic fellow•countryinen ; and, above all, that they ought not to retain any jealousy or apprehension. - This is our solemn, unequivocal, and most conscientious con viction and assertion, and we are entitled to be believed. But we will not place the cause of conciliation upon mere assertion ; we appeal to facts to prove' that confis dence should be reposed in the Catholic repealers by Protestants of all classes. "The FIRST proof is adduced from Protestant histo; torians. It is the historic fact, that the -Irish Catisolic were, since the Reformation, three times in possession of political power—in fact of the government of the coun try—yet they never passed one single penal law, nor persecuted one single Protestant. I have one thousand times challenged the libellers of the Irish Catholics to give me the name of any one Protestant who was perse cuted by the Catholics While in power—no such Pro testant has ever been named, simply because none such ever existed. " The SECOND proof arises from the language of the Catholics during the many years of our struggle for emancipation. We had tens of thousands of meetings, in all of which our claims were placed upon the prin ciple that conscience should be free. Free for others as well as for us. And in not one of these meetings, although guilty of many an indiscretion, yet not o n e single word ot a bigoted or exclusive nature was u ttered, save upon one occasion, when a phrase, consi dered to bel of a bigoted nature having been used, that phrase was emphatically condemned by the all but una nimous vote of two public meetings ; there was, indeed, but the single negt tive of the utterer of the phrase him self—HE STOOD ALONE. "The THIRD proof arises from the conduct—that ic, the acts of the Catholic people, during the agitation for emancipation. We had our tens and our twenties of thousands of meetings. We had our Catholic boards, and Catholic committees, and, finally our great Catholic Association. But there was no riot, no violence, no tumult. No Protestant was injured in person or property by the Catholics in their struggle for emancipation. No Catholic associator was ever accused of any crime, committed in the struggle for relief, with the exception of myself ; and then the charge of sedition was so frivolous, that the bill of indictment against me was ignored by a grand jury— the foreman and two-thirds of whom were Protestants, and several of them Orangemen. There was not one single assault committed in the agitation for emancipa tion. I, one of the most prominent among the agitators, and, probably—may I venture to say it—one of the most popular, repeatedly declared, that I would abandon the pursuit of emancipation if it were stained with one single drop of human blood. And, blessed be Heaven ! no such stain taints that cause. " The FOURTH proof is derived from this, that my principle has been throughout, and is, that ' every change of political institutions should be effected by exclusively moral and peaceable means;' and that no amelioration, however in its nature valuable, in the laws or government, should be purchased by any one crime or sin of ever so small a degree—and, above all, is not worth the purchase ill the loss of one single life.' " This doctrine I have preached and' practised. By the assertion and practice of it the Irish people carried the emancipation ; and I, who am the original apostle of this doctrine of peace, possess, it is manifest, the unlimited confidence of the Irish people. Oh, how idle must be the jealousies and fears of any of our Protestant fellow-coun trymen 1 " My FIFTH proof is to be found in the conduct of the Catholics after emancipation. There was no insolence of triumph—no insult to our former oppo nents. The usual demonstrations of public joy were forborne. There were no bonfires—no illu minations—no exhibitions of pubic delight, lest they should be deemed insulting to the defeated Orange party. The active Catholic courted the good-will of the Orangemen—we entwined the Orange round our Green ribbon—We did all we could to conciliate. We combined both colours, and we did all we could to combine bet% populations. I, myself, fur mere than six years, courted the Orangemen in every way in my power. I was laughed at for my pains. Though no man likes to be the object of ridicule, yet I bore it, and persevered in my efforts to conciliate the Orangemen. They refused to be conciliated, and yet they were suppressed by an Act of Parliament, brought in by their own friends, the Tories —an Act which we, the Catholics, did not call for, and which many of us oppose 1. " My SIXTFI proof is also derived from the conduct of the Catholics since emancipation with respect to the parliamentary and municipal elections. In no instance, at any parliamentary election, was a Catholic preferred to a Liberal Protestant. In every instance of parliamen tary elections a Liberal Protestant has been preferred to a Catholic. The same principle and practice have pre vailed in our municipal elections. In every instance the Liberal Protestants have been preferred to Catholics. The office of Lord Mayor of Dublin has been filled by three gentlemen since the Municipal Reform Bill. The first was a Catholic—the second a Protestant. The third is a Catholic ; but his successor, the Lord Mayor Elect, is a Protestant. This evidence of a total absence of a bigoted feeling among the Catholics is the stronger in Dublin, where the Catholics had been, for near forty 'years before emancipation, and for several years after, capable, in point of law, of being freemen of the Cor poration ; yet not one single Catholic was allowed to attain even that small benefit. It is not, therefore, from the conduct of the Catholics that these idle jealousies and fears arise ; but, unhappily, from some self-condemna tion on the part of several Protestants. It is in human nature that some of them should be unable to believe, even from the most distinct proofs, that others are more liberal thietethey are themselves. " The SEVENTH proof, that unlimited confidence may be reposed in the Catholic people of Ireland, I draw natu e rally and forcibly from the conduct of the people at the monster meetings last year—meetings at which not only no violence was committed, but not even one single acci dent occurred. At the lowest calculation, one million of Irish assembled at Tara ; yet, not one single person was pressed upon, or trodden upon, or hurt, or injured— aye, even by accident ! Are not these a people fit to share in the government of their native land ? Oh how idly are jealousies and fears entertained of such a people. " The EIGHTH proof is derived from the mighty tem perance movement. More than five millions, principally Catholics, have taken the pledge. A very small per centage, indeed, have violated it—a per centage so minute as to be almost incapable of enumeration. Tem perance carries in its train to the house of the poor man many and many a social virtue. Vice of every kind flies before temperance. Amongst the temperance men the religious feeling is easily predominant. The public houses are deserted ; the altar-rails are thronged. Oh, blessed be God ! the Irish people are fit to be -a nation. Who so fit as they ? "The NINTH proof, that the jealousies and fears of Catholic ascendancy are unfounded and preposterous, is grounded on the number and strength of the Protestants themselves. If any attempt were made to establish a Catholic ascendancy, all the Protestants would naturally and necessarily rally against such iniquitous proceeding. They would be joined by all the liberal and enlightened Catholics, and by all the just, generous, and humane Catholics. They would be backed and supported by Protestant England. Their enemies would have all the weakness belonging to injustice. The Protestants would have on their side the powerful moral force of being in the right and suffering unjustly wrong. Ido firmly re peat it, that nothing in nature can be so absurd as for the Protestants of Ireland to apprehend a Catholic as cendancy. " My TENTH proof of the idleness of any such fear is the fact, that from the state of property in Ireland, a very great number of the Members of the House of Com mons must be, and probably a majority would be Pro testants. In the Irish douse of Lords the Catholic Peers are about five per cent. of the entire. How is it possible to apprehend that any ascendancy law could pass such a Parliament ?—and it is still more impossible that such a law should receive the assent of the Protestant Mo narch of Great Britain and Ireland. " My next proof is deduced from the conduct of the Repeal Association and its agitators on the triumphant event of the reversal of the judgment against leading members of the Association. There never was a prose cution more vexatiously conducted. The usual courtesy —a slight one in itself—of allowing us to appear by at torney, was refused. We were compelled to be in readi ness to appear iu Court every passing hour. I will not dwell upon the one-sidedness of the charge of the Chief Justice, whose nephew has got an excellent place in the Castle, and whose sou-in-law has got that excellent thing, an Irish bishopric, from the prosecuting Govern ment ; neither shall I dwell on the now•for-ever-admitted on the face of the record fraudulent management of the jury list—nor shall I dilate upon the unjust imprison 'Tient which we have sustained for no less than three months ; an imprisonment for which, as the record now demonstrate', there is no kind of justification .or ; an imprisonment which the Court itself offered to suspend if the Attorney-General, that is, the Irish Go vernment, would comeut. I pass over, also, without com ment, what Lord Cloneurry has called the projected mas sacre at Clontarf.' I pass these by for the present as mate rials, I trust, for Parliamentary inquiry and impeachment. But I avail myself of them for the single purpose of showing that never were men so provoked, so un justly stimulated to irritation and revenge, so exi cited to break out into an exuberance of revengeful joy ; never was there a set of men more entitled to all the vio lence of triumph at the ultimate reversal of the judgment; yet, Protestant non-repealers, we appeal to you whether passion was not suppressed, irritation and excitement mitigated and soothed, every species of insult avoided ; agitation, instead of being inflamed, cooled down into something that has been reproached by our enemies as timidity ; yes, we have preferred the appearance of what we could not feel, timidity, by the excess of our meek ness, to anything that could prevent a single non-re pealer from joining the ranks of his country. Non-repealers, reflect deeply upon these different topics; you have everything to gain—you can have nothing to lose—by the repeal. The repeal will restore to Ireland a circulation, in employment, wages, and business, of not less than six millions per annum ; but I am-not at present arguing the question ; every man in Ireland intuitively knows that the Irish ought to make laws for Ireland, and that no country was ever governed for the benefit of its people by another country. — " I shall simply confine myself to a quotation of the most perfect truth from the late Lord Chief Justice Bushe. His words are—' Iforget for a momeut the un principled means by which the union has been promoted, and I look on it simply as England reclaim • ing, in a moment of our weakness, that dominion which we extorted from her in a moment of our virtue —a dominion which she uniformly abused—which invariably oppressed and impoverished us, and from the ex tortion of which we date all our prosperity." He added— The union is a measure which goes to degrade the country by saying it is unworthy to govern itself. It is the revival of the odious and absurd title of conquest—it is a revival of the abominable distinction between mother country and colony which lost America IT IS THE DENIAL OF THE RIGHTS OF NATURE TO A GREAT NATION FROM AN INTOLERANCE OF ITS PROSPERITY.' • "Now, I take it that no proposition was ever so per fectly clear as this ;* that Ireland cannot, and will not, submit.to that denial of the rights of nature which be longed to her as a great nation and a virtuous people. It is perfectly clear that things cannot remain as they are, there must necessarily be a change. This is asserted as distinctly and emphatically by the Conservative member of the Corporation of Dublin, the talented Dr. Mannsell, as it is by me. The Irish people have more of the virtue of perseverance than the people of any other country on the face of the earth—they have been spo- Hated of property, it is true, but they have retained, tenaciously retained, their opinions, their sentiments, their affections, and, above all, they have clung to their religion with desperate fidelity. They, are, I repeat, the most persevering people on the face of the earth—they never will, they never can, abandon the cause of repeal ; and they will ultimately carry that measure, as assuredly as that to-morrow's sun will rise. Whilst we, leading agitators, and particularly whilst I happen to live, they will never seek to carry the repeal by forcible or violent means ; but the man is worse than man who does not perceive in the conduct of the Irish people that determi• nation to establish self-government which, when the pre sent leaders, and I amongst them, are removed, may well proluce separation, but can sever tolerate the continu ancg of the union. " This, indeed, is just the time to carry repeal peace ably, quietly, legally, constitutionally. We are arrived at a time when if the Protestant and Catholic non repealers abandon their apathy or opposition, and join in the agitation for repeal, the union can be repealed without danger, difficulty, tumult, or force; and without, in any way, disturbing the rights of property, or the enjoyments of social life. A bloodless political change, such as that of 1829, can now be achieved without diffi culty—a bloodless political change, such as that of 1782, can now be achieved without the least difficulty. Lord Althorp himself, when opposing the repeal, because called for by only a section, however large, of the Irish people, declared, that if the entire of the Irish nation required that repeal, they were entitled to it. This proposition was full of plain good sense. In fact, if the Irish nation were combined in a peaceable and legal struggle, resistance would be vain or impossible. " This is just the period when the union could be re pealed in the manner most satisfactory to those Pro testants who have hitherto been neutral or adverse, by reason of their fears of violent or tumultuary proceed ings. The Repeal Association is ready, I am ready, .for one humble individual, to join in the modes of a t ef s ing a most satisfactory to the timid or reluctant.to e to the I period in which the lead woul d be given at aristocracy of wealth, and to the persons most exten sively interested in the prosperity of the country. The' Repeal Association does not req uire any O'Cf Leinster,onnellite party. We are all ready to give to the house o if, oh heaven! that family would once again join for Ire land; we - are ready to give the" illustrious Charlemont family--a family bearing a name to conjure with ;, we are ready to give to any other of the Irish aristocracy ; we are ready to give to Mr. Grey Porter, or Mr. Shar man Crawford, or to any other gentleman of talent and fortune—Protestant or Catholic—the lead in the great movement. Especially we are ready to give, and we are giving heartily and cordially, to Mr. Smith O'Brien, to the Hon )urahle Mr. Hutchinson, and to our other Pro testant associates, the lead in the great struggle to rein state Ireland amongst the nations. "ludeecl, the unlimited confidence which Mr. Smith O'Brien has acquired, and which the Hon. Mr. Hutchin son is daily acquiring, - should demonstrate to all right thinking Protestant non- repealers, with what facility they would obtain their proper weight, and importance, and consideration in the contest for the repeal, and for the reconstruction of the Irish Parliament. " This is emphatically the time fir Catholic and Pro testant non-repealers to join in the agitation. "If they wish, as they naturally must, to share in the government of their own country--if they desire to secure their estates from future convulsion, and if they wish to increase tenfold the value of their property, they will join with us in procuring the re-establishment of the Irish Parliament, without which there can be no lasting tranquillity in Ireland. " This emphatically is a period when good humour, good temper, thedisposition toconciliate, and the anxiety to combine all classes, prevails among the Irish people. There is nothing revolutionary in the dispositions of the repealers ; quite the contrary, an anxiety to prevent any forcible change, and to maintain the social state un impaired and improved. "Never was there a period of more good temper and hilarity. This is the time for peaceful combination of all sects and persuasions ; the very fact of there being a large military force in Ireland at present ought to give additional security against the.prevalence . of_ any vio lent or revolutionary disposition ; and that army, which has been sent here to prevent repeal, would necessarily be protective of the peaceful settlement of the great question. " Everything favours a combination at the present moment ; even the prevalence of the hitherto scattered elements of federalism now facilitates our great object. " It is true that federalism has not yet displayed itself in the strength which I believe really belongs to it. I know there are numbers of individuals who have not joined the Repeal Association, and yet are opposed to the continuation of the union upon its present basis, and desire a federal connexion in its stead. • " In inviting those persons to join the contest for re peal, it is incumbent upon the Association distinctly to trace out how far simple repealers' and federalists can go together ; as also to point out how far the road is common to both ; and to show distinctly where a dif ference, if any, arises between them. It is our duty to canvass the particulars of that difference, and to yield to whatever appears most practical and most useful in Ireland. " For my own part, there never lived a being who would less than myself claim any species of infallibi lity. I would yield, for the sake of co-operation, every thing but principle. I would follow in the track of any man who seeks fir the restoration to Ireland of the power of legislation. "Let me, then, state the principles upon which the simple repeaters' desire to act ; and let me show how far the federalists concur in those principles. " The FIRST principle is founded on the determina tion, at all hazards, to preserve the connexion between Great Britain and Ireland, through the means of the power of a sole executive, and the golden link of the Crown. '• In this principle both simple repealers' and fede ralists' completely agree. " The SECOND principle results from the necessity of the repeal of the union statute, 50th George 111., chap. 47. " The statute must be put out of the way legally and constitutionally. "In this principle simple repealers' and fede ralists' equally agree. Both, in fact, being repealers of the union, because federalism can commence only after the repeal of that statute. " The THIRD principle arises from the necessity of a reconstruction of the Irish Parliament. " This principle belongs, in common, to both classes of repealers, ' simple repealer' and federalists be cause, the mere repeal of the union statute would not answer the purposes of either party. The mere repeal of the union statute would revive the Irish Parliament', without the benefit of any reform schedules—it would give two members to the ruined abbey of Tulsk— two members to the round tower of Kilcullen—two members to the SANDS of Bannow—and two members to the churchyard walls of Clonmines. This would never do. Federalists' and simple repealers' agree that this would never do. " There must, therefore, be a reconstruction of the Irish House of Commons. . "The Forran principle consists in the restoration of the Irish House of Lords, in all its integrity. " Thus far, all parties, federalists' and simple re' peelers,' are agreed. " There is one distinction which should be clearly un derstood, and all confusion avoided on the subject—that is, a distinction between the moon of reconstruction of the Irish Parliament, and the POWERS which shall be vested in that Parliament when reconstructed— " First, reconstruct your Parliament; and, secondly, decide what powers that Parliament shall have when re constructed. " Upon the mode of reconstruction of the Home or Commons, the federalists' and simple repealer; might and ought to agree. It is true that the lode' s ralists' have not as yet any official organ, and, therefor there is es) statement of their views as to that reconstrues tion. It is also true that Mr. Grey Porter has, on thiS subject, thrown out objections to popular plans for re constructing the Irish House of Commons ; and these objection,;, coming from him, deserve the greatest weigh; and merit the fullest and most deliberate considerations He himself appears to be of that temper of mind, that he will patiently consider the arguments that may be used to solve his objections ; and whatever the result may be, the discussion of these objections shall be conducted in the most amicable way and in the best tamper. " The simple repealers, on the other hand, have long since laid their project before the public. They propose that the number of members should continue the same as the former number in the Irish House of Commons 4 namely, 300. " They propose that the representation should b based upon the numbers of the population—that being the basis adopted for the English counties by the Eng lish Reform Bill. Let this be kept in mind ; popular tion, exclusively, was the basis of the augmentation of the representatives of the English counties by the Engl lish Reform Bill. " Takiug up this English basis, the simple re 4 pealers' submit that there ought to be in Ireland 173 county members —of these Antrim would have 6, Ari magh 5, Fermanagh 5, Londonderry 5, Tyrone 6; Down 7, Monaghan 5, Cavan 5, Donegal 6—Total for Ulster, 50. I mention these particulars regarding Illstei to show, that in our proposal complete justice is done to the Protestant province of Ulster, upon the same scale precisely with the other provinces. " There being thus 173 members alloted to the coun ties, there remains for the towns and cities 127—0 f which, for example, four are allotted to Belfast, four to Limerick, and two to the Dublin University. " The schedule to the report presented to the Repeal Association, on the 4th of May, 1840, will give full details to anybody who takes the trouble of examining our suggestions fur the reconstruction of the Irish House of Commons. " The Repeal Association has also suggested, that the franchise should be based on household suffrage, and that the mode of voting should be by ballot. But these are particulars perfectly open to discussion between the ' simple repealers' and the federalists.' " As to the vote by ballot, however, I, for the pre sent, shall offer but one observation, and that is, that whatever objections may be started to this mode of voting, it is in its nature a peaceable mode of giving the vote, and one that excludes the possibility of violence or rioting. " It is now for the federalists' to suggest their plan of reconstruction of the Irish House of Commons. It is not unlikely that the 'federalists' and ' simple re pealers' might agree amicably upon the mode of recon struction ; at all events, the discussion upon these points can be, and I doubt not will be, conducted in a fair, im partial, and amicable manner, and its the absence of heat or violence ; discussion, instead of being shunned by the simple repealers,' is anxiously invited by them ; they do not desire to dictate to anybody. " The Irish House of Commons being legally con structed, a question of great importance arises, the real question between the 'federalists' and the simple re pealers.' That question is—What shall be the extent of the powers of the Irish Parliament ? " Both parties are agreed, that these powers should bo sufficiently extensive to enable the Irish Parliament to protect the lives, liberties, and properties of the Irish people. That it should have power to enact all laws to be of force in Ireland—in short, that it should be a . n efficient Parliament for all legislative, finan cial, and j cial purposes within her Majesty's realm of Ireland. me - "The simple repealers are of opinion thatthe structed Irish Parliament should have precisishelvy power and authority which th e former Ir arliameomnt had. pale" appear a t o i e r m s e do to require more for Ireland than the •' The 'federalists,' on t he contrary, rit the federalists require that and perfect local autho y, for besides the l o c al Parl iam ent in simple having full there should be for questions of imperial concern, cold ; vial, military, naval, and of foreign alliance and policy, a congressional or federative parliament, in which Ireland should have her fair share and proportion of representa tion and power. " I is re spect the bu f t ed ri e g r h a t and list just swould t g o dn iv e ul fe re ss that Ireland u t dm t in o th rew is e eigrht and importance in imperial concerns than she could ac puire by means of the plan of the simple repealers. " If there were such a congressional ,• parliament as the federalists propose, - one-third, or thereabouts, of the - m embers ought to be given to the Irish ; giving to Great Britain the other tw•o-thirds. _ _ " But as yet the federalists have not spoken out; Air. Grey Porter has proinised his project, but the time within which he was to produce it has not arrived. It is to be wished that simile authentic statement should be made on behalf of the federalists. This, at least, is cer tain, that any such plan will be received with deferential respect, and canvassed by every honest repealer, with perfect candour and earnest solicitude to arrive at a just and beneficial conclusion. " For my own part, I will own, that since I have come to contemplate the specific differences such as they are between • simple repeal' and federalism,' Ido at pre sent feel a preference for the federative plan, as tending 11131 - 0 to the utility of Ireland, and to the maintenance of the connexion with England than the mode of simple repeal. But I must either deliberately propose or deli berately adopt from some other person a plan of a fede rative union, before I bind myself to the opinion v. hich now entertain. _ _ - ..„.. "I have laid my thoughts upon this subject Lefore the Association at greater length than I intended ; but th e importance of the topics I have discussed justifies the length of my commentary. " finvite my countrymen of every class and persuasion to join us. I invite, in particular, all those who lean to federalism to _propound their plans, and to discuss with us amicably and canditUy the respective merits of a federative' or simple repeal ' connexion with Great Britain. . " The federalists cannot but perceive that there has in en, upon my part, a pause in the agitation for the re peal "since the period of our liberation from unjust itnpr:- sonment ; they must perseive that, on the part of the re pealers, every passion has been hushed, and ail the energy of complaint suppressed, in the expectation of a federal movement. This calm has been made in compi ment to the friends of Ireland who have not as yet joined the repeal standard. We anxiously await their patriotic co-operation. " But, should they allow the preFent favourable occa sion to escape, they may hereafter regret not having ob tained that influence in the repeal cause which every body is now ready to give them ; but which they may hereafter find it exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. "This, therefore, is the propitious moment, especially for the wealthiest classes, to join in the struggle for frith independence. They can now take their natural stadia at the head of the movement. They can now model and regulate proceedings in which they may not, hereafter, find an opportunity to take the part which they would wish and be naturally entitled to. " There are two propositions perfectly clear— " FIRST—That matters cannot remain as they are in Ireland, but that the repeal movement must accumulate in power and force, in spite of every obstacle: SMONDLY—That the 14ritisla 'p o n, . duet the affairs of Ireland upon a Pr' - principle. ' " Violent anti-Poperyism, or violent Protestantism, can no longer be the road to emolument and promotion. " The Government can no longer connect itself with a sturdy or active No-Popery man. On the contrary, the Government must necessarily be driven to prefer rene gade or courtly Catholics to over-active and over-zealous political Protestants. In short, the hypocrisy of impartiality towards all will necessarily exclude all the violent amongst the re making Orange party from Government favour. " The Government, by or for a mere Protestant party, is at an end ; there must be what may be called a practical pretence' of liberality, which will necessarily exclude from patronage the over-zealous or over-active amongst the late ascendancy party. " In the meantime, everything bids iVr for the pros pect; of the Repeal Association. The people of Ireland perceive that the game is nearly won, and that success, though it may be postponed, it cannot be prevented. The Irish people also perceive that if ALL the non repeaters do not join us, many are daily acceding to our ranks, and by our combining conciliation with firmness, sincere kindliness, with unremitting determination and activity, the repeal must be carried, and Ireland become a nation again. " Let us then be active, energetic, conciliatory. Let us, if possible, combine all classes ; but let us not forget that we have already more than moral force enough to render a long resistance to a peaceable and legal repeal of the union impossible. It is a mere question of time— the repeal itself is certain. Hurrah, then, for the repeal. '- I have the honour to be, your faithful servant, " DANIEL O'CONNELL." He (Mr. M. O'Connell) would refrain from offering any observations on the letter he had just read, as he consi dered any comments on his part would be unnecessary. The meeting was addressed by Mr. M. O'Connell, Mr. Hutchinson, Mr. Henry Grattan, &c. After tome further business had been disposed of, Mr. O'Connell announced the rent for the week as 40,31. 17s. 41—The meeting then adjourned. IRISH FAIRS—DECLINE IN PRICES. The fall in the price of horned caltle, at the recent fair of Ballinasloe, has had a serious effect upon prices at the western fairs since held. At Dunmore, county of Galway, on Thursday, there was no demand for any description of stock, and the few sales effected were made at a more reduced price than at Ballinailoo. At Ballindine, county of Mayo, on Friday last, there was an extremely dull fair, and the farmers considered their prospects very gloomy. • MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIDIES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 11 per male, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 141. per ounce for standard gold, giveS an exchange of 25 42A ; and the exchange at Paris on London at shor being 25 52-1, it follows that gold is 0.39 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from llamburgh the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 1011. pc:ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10 ; and the exchange at Ilamburgh on London at short being 13 92, it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer in Ilamburgh than in London. The funds have been exceedingly flat to day, at a decline of nearly three eighths per cant., and rumours have been in circulation that the departure of the King of the French is connected with matters of grave import in his own country. This may have had some slight effect upon prices, but the real cause of the fan appi ars to have arisen from the sale of l a rge par ce l s o f stock o n privet': account, and the supply has thus been hien ased to an amount greater than the jobbers desire ; hence there are no purchasers except at lower prices. The Government broker paid 100 k for the savings-bank in vestment, and the quotations gradually gave way. So great would be the advantages of shortening the transit from Cairo to Suez, and thus facilitating our overland c-mmunication with India, that every project to that end brought forward with any degree of Ilausi bility may be noticed with advantage. The plasma transit occupies abaft 24 hours—the whole distance of 84 miles is an open desert, and every article of food, in cluding water, has to be brought from Cairo. Of the whole journey to India this passage across the desert is considered the worst part, and were it only for the com fort of the numerous British subjects who are forced to perform the journey, any attempt at improvement would be unworthy attention. But the advantage of shorten ing the transit does not stop with travellers to India, but concerns the whole mercantile community, as tunny op portunities of answering letters have been lost precisely on account of the time occupied in the journey from Suez. The mail from India, via Marseilles, arrived last year on eight occasions too late to admit of the letters being answered, and this loss of time, the advocates of a railway contend, might have been avoided had this mode of conveyance been adopted. The chief notion of a railway was entertained by the Pacha of Egypt as far back as 1834, and the late Gallo way Bey was instructed to make the necessary surveys. Since then the project has been in abeyance ; but Mr. J. A. Galloway, brother of the Bey, and resident in Alex andria, has recently published a pamphlet in which he sets forth the advantages of the railway, and ascribes the obstacles thrown in the way of its completion to foreign intrigue. Some of this pamphlet is taken up with the examination of two rival schemes for effecting the passage by canal communication. One of these places is a ship canal from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, and the other (the Boulac Canal) ono from the Nile to Suez. Both of them are considered by Mr. Galloway as under takings too gigantic for the present state of Egypt ; and he comes to the result that the railroad alone will he practicable, and that the British Government should at once urge its completion, taking advantage of the known predilection of Mehemet Ali for the scheme, and the fact that ;he is already at an advanced age. It is suggested that the most effectual mode of carrying the point k would be to make the acceleration of the mails and passengers a condition for increased remuneration in the Post-office convention. This recommendation of the railway scheme is from a source confessedly partial; but, nevertheless, the subject is so important that it is to be hoped that it will to weighed on its own merits, and that the influence uf foreign Powers may not, as has been hinted, prevent it from receiving due consideration.

About an average amount of business has been transacted, and prices are without variation. WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, OCT. 11.—There is not any alteration of moment in this market to report this week, either as regards the amount of sales or quota tions of prices. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, OCT. IL—The market continues much in the same state as it has been for the last few weeks : stocks are not much reduced, and prices stationary. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.— .The attendance of buyers at the piece market to-day has been only scanty, and the amount of business very limited. For some weeks xast there has been a visible change in the state of our market, the demand gradually slackening, and the stocks, despite the greatest care, insensibly accumulating ; so that, comparing its pre sent state with what it was in July, the alteration is most perplexing and disheartening. Various reasons are assigned for this, but the most plausible appears to be, that the stocks of finished goods on the continent are so large that the demand for foreign markets has nearly ceased. But the problem is, how are things to be remedied? Were spinners and manufacturers at once to " drop on to short time," as the saying is, there is a probability that matters would right them selves much sooner than if the present rate of produc tion is maintained. Some of ourlargest establishments have already resorted to this expedient in one way or other, either by not lighting up or by stopping looms. We hear of one house which has stopped 200 looms, and that in the district no less than 1,500 looms have been stopped. The expedient is no doubt a painful and trying one to many, both employers and labourers ; but it is obvious a little suffering such as this now will tend to prevent that greater suffer ing which must inevitably ensue from a protraction of the existing state of trade. We sincerely hope the prudential measures adopted by our spinners and manufacturers will have the desired effect, and that ere long they will be able to resume operations with their wonted activity. In yarns there is scarcely so much activity, which is likely to be met by a cur tailed production. Prices are materially lower within the last three or four months, while wool has by no means kept pace with the decline, thus leaving the spinner no alternative but to shelter himself from loss by reducing his production. During the past week very little wool has changed hands, and the business dane is on terms rather more favourable to the buyer. In noils and shorts the demand continues steady, and prices generally firm. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING. — We have had a very regular, steady, and large de mand this week for all kinds of cloth, especially for printing fabrics, and the tone of the market is quite healthy to-day, and closes with a prospect of slight advance on most kinds. The home trade is every week more brisk. The demand is quite unparalleled, and, what is better, likely to continue. rho yarn market continues lively, and was to a later period of the season for export than is usual with the Russian houses. The business doing is immense. LEEDS.—The cloth markets, at both cloth halls, were on Saturday of the same dull charactar of the last few market days, but on Tuesday there was more business done in goods of all descriptions. The stocks of goods, notwithstanding the markets have been duller, are much lower than usual at this season, and prices are steady There is little doing by the houses connected with the shipping trade just now, but a very fair business is doing for the home mar ket.—Leeds Mercury.
