In consequence of an advertisement issued by Messrs. Bass and Co.. in the London and provincial newspapers, we were under the necessity of addressing a letter to those gentlemen on the 28th ult., informing them that their statements of the prices of Pale Ale in India, and the shi:ments thereto, as far as we were concerned, were "grossly incorrect," and that if the advertisment were not withdrawn, we should feel compelled publicly to allude to the inac curacy of it. We have, therefore, no alternative but to declare publicly, what we informed them privately, that almost every state ment is "grossly incorrect." We take this opportunity of giving accounts of the latest bona fide wholesale sales of each Ale, as veri fied by the various prices current, and have onlyto refer partie to those connected with India for a confirmation of these facts.

COVENTRY, MARCH 18.—The proceedings which took place here.to-day were in everyway of an important and impressive character, whether as regards. the - case of Mr. O'Connell, the cause of Ireland, or the vindication of great public rights. The meeting was held in St. Mary's Hall, which, though crowded in every part, did not appear sufficient to accommodate the great numbers who attended; and the consequent pressure of such an assemblage, within a space so comparatively small, as regarded the num bers,produced considerable confusion at one period of the meeting. At one o'clock Mr. O'Connell arrived, and was re ceived with immense cheering, the whole meeting rising and continuing to repeat their plaudits for several minutes. T. B. TROUGHTON, Esq. (the town-clerk) read the requisition, after which J. S. WITTEN, Esq., (the mayor), was called to the chair by acclamation. His Worship said, as it was the first occasion on which he was caled to preside over a meeting of this description since his accession to office, he should feel it necessary to state that he felt it his duty to listen to the free expression of opinion upon the part of his fellow-townimen and he should be very happy to afford them every facility for addressing the meeting. He could not allow this opportunity to pass without ex pressing his deep sympathy with the sufferings of the Irish people, and his sincere desire that Englishmen would unite in their exertions to render the union between England and Ireland not a parchment union solely, but a union of feeling and affection, based upon the pro sperity of both nations.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. GORDON then proceeded to address the meeting ; but, after a few sentences, during which his voice was very indistinctly heard in the Hall, there were loud cries from persons at a distance that they could not hear him. In order to obtain a better position for hear ing, a movement took place towards the platform, and this, by pressing on those in front, caused considerable inconvenience, and produced amongst a large number a desire to adjourn to the open air, as the meeting was so numerous. The confusion created by these occurrences lasted for a considerable period, and was prolonged by a few individuals who evidenq came for the purpose of availing themselves of the inconvenience that the pres sure at such a meeting must necessarily create, to pro duce noise and disorder. Mr. O'Connell endeavoured to induce those in the body of the meeting to keep their places, but the pressure and inconvenience were so great that it was difficult, for a long time, to obtain order. At length, the excitement having been, in some degree, allayed, the Mayor came forward, and assured the meeting that, as soon as possible after the restoration of silence, Mr. O'Connell would address them. Order was immediately restored, and preserved throughout the remainder of the proceedings, during which the incon veniences of the crowded meeting were submitted to with the greatest good humour. • Mr. GORDON then moved the first resolution, which was as follows :—" That this meeting records its sym pathy with the grievances, both civil and ecclesiastical, which a long course of misgovernment has inflicted upon the sister-kingdom of Ireland, and pledges itself to every legal exertion for the purposes of obtaining for that king dom measures of redress, based upon the principle of ex tending complete and equal justice to all classes and sects of her Majesty's subjects." The resolution was seconded by Mr. HANNELL, and carried unanimously. The Rev. J. SIBREE proposed the next resolution, which was—" That this meeting hereby expresses its deep sense of the injustice involved in the late trial of Daniel O'Connell and others for conspiracy, believing that both as to the principles on which it was founded, and the manner in which it was conducted, it was a vio lation of the constitutional liberties of the people of this realm." It was seconded by Mr. ATKINS, and carried by ac clamation. Mr. BUCKNEY, in an excellent speech, proposed that a petition, embodying the resolutions, should be adopted by the meeting for presentation to Parliament. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Alderman SMITH, and unanimously agreed to. Mr. O'CONNELL then came forward to the front of the platform, and was received with an unanimous burst of approbation, quite equal in warmth and cordiality of feeling to those which greeted him at Birmingham and Covent-garden. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman said—The Rev. Gentleman who spoke last told you, with much eloquence and some comicality, that I was already sentenced, and that my punishment was to be sent to Coventry. Why, I am free to confess that, at one time to-day, I was inclined to believe that it might be looked on as a punishment to be sent to Co ventry, and during some anxious moments I might have been disposed to have regretted that I came here? Why do I allude to this circumstance now? I do so, because I wish more strongly to express the de light with which I view this unanimous expression of your feelings, which is evinced by the meeting now before me.—(Great cheering.) lam not influenced in this delight and satisfaction by any paltry, personal motives ? No—l am influenced by far higher and nobler motives.—(Hear, hear.) Ido not appear here —I did not come here as an individual merely repre senting my own opinions —no, I come here as the re presentative of the people of Ireland, which is evinced by the meeting now before me, for it shows that any casual occurrence which took place could not be viewed as an indication of a want of sympathy with the people of Ireland.—(Loud cheering.) Ido not appear here—l did not come here as an individual representing only his own views and opinions. No, I came here ac tuated by higher, and better, and far nobler motives ; I came here as the representative of the people of Ireland. I came here as the advocate of my fellow-countrymen, and not as the advocate of my private interest.—(Cheers ) I came here to proclaim to the people of Coventry the wrongs of Ireland, and to demand, upon the part of the Irish people, your sympathy and support. You all have heard of the proceeding at Covent-garden—you all have heard of the reception which the Anti-Corn-law League gave me as the representative of the Irish people. The people of Ireland have heard of these proceedings ; they have heard of the reception which I met with, not as an individual, but because the principles of fair play and justice had been violated as regarded me.—(Cheers.) I own I was for a moment to-day apprehensive that fair play was not known in Coventry ; there were little symptoms which perhaps I then thought would justify . me in that supposition, but from what I have since witnessed I repudiate, I trample upon such an idea, and I rejoice that you have shown your elves—what Englishmen always are found to be —really lovers of fair play, and that you have shown a firm determination to maintain those principles, and sup port the impartial administration of justice. I have come amongst you to declare the sufferings of the people of Ireland. It is stated by the Commissioners of Poor law Inquiry in Ireland, that out of her population there are no less than 2,355,000 who are in a state of desti tution during a considerable portion of the year. Now, that is a proportion of one-fourth of the %hole popula tion in a state of complete destitution for a portion of the year. 7 -(Hear.) Could anything, I ask, be better cal culated than that statement to enlist the best feelings of the human heart in the cause' of Ireland, and to de mand the best and most strenuous exertions of every friend of humanity ?—(Hear, hear.) But the evidence which I can bring forward of the desti tution and suffering of an immense portion of the people of Ireland does not rest there, for an additional proof of that misery and destitution is to be found in the fact of the population decreasing at the rate of 70,000 per annum, and there cannot possibly be any greater proof of destitution than that which is af forded by the retrograding of population, for population will continue to increase for a long time after a nation's prosperity has departed; but in no country, unless in one in a state of complete destitution, can the population continue to decrease as it has done for several years in Ireland. It has been stated by the Commissioners of Poor-law Inquiry that no less than 70 per cent. of the agricultural population of Ireland are living in houses - consisting only of one room—in huts which no farmer in England would think of putting his pigs into.—(Shame, shame.) That is the state in which the agricultural population is described to be living; and what is the de scription of the condition of the town population of Ire land? The Commissioners state in their Report, that 30,000 of the town population live in single rooms. When such is the state of Ireland, is it not, I ask, the duty of every Irishman to proclaim it ? Is it not the duty of every Irishman to call upon the wise, and the good, and the generous of England, aye, and of every country and clime, for their sympathy and support ?—to call on them to unite in one voice of determination, to protest against its continuance, in such a manner as will frighten the tyrants that now maintain it, and in a way that must succeed in obtaining the full and perfect rights of the people ? (Cheers.) Let no one tell me, then, that I am looking only for the abstract political rights of the Irish people, or that they complain of imaginary griev ances, and seek for the removal of those grievances that press so heavily upon them, and which are defended only by the haughty aristocratic advocates of oppres sion. A gentleman, who made an eloquent speech to you to-day, said that I was not looking for " repeal of the union, but for justice." Now, he was mistaken in his view of my objects, for, although it is true that I am looking for justice to the Irish people, yet I see no prospect ofjustice—l believe there is none in any other means, than by the restoration of her domestic legislature to Ireland. If, indeed, the English Parliament were differently composed—if it consisted of such men as those whom I see assembled to-day, then, indeed, there would be a better chance of seeking for justice from that Par liament.—(Hear, hear.) If the English Parliament con sisted of men of humanity and liberality of mind, and generosity of feeling, such as those I see around me, then there would be more hope of success.—(Cheers.) But is that the case?—(No, no.) Does any man doubt — can any man for a moment doubt, that the Parliament is very differently constituted, and that the effect of, class legislation must be to prevent the granting of jus tice to the people of either England or Ireland ?—(Cheers.)

SIR,—In the House of Commons, a few evenings since, Sir Henry . Hardinge stated that an officer in the army, having been insulted by being charged with a dishonourable act, who did not call for "redress," was liable to be called to a Court-martial and cashiered. Sir Henry Hardinge went on to explain that the word " redress " did not mean challenging the offender to a duel, but demanding a Court-martial on e the offender;—if a leuging e u p u s rt c 3 h be h. t oa duelte case,md could not seeking h an obedience btyo the articles of war—but who ever heard of a party who had challenged a person who had insulted him, having been brought to a Court •martial for not having sought "redress " according to . the definition which Sir Henry Hardinge is pleased to put on the word " redress ?" Has it not, there fore, been universally understood in the army that the ar ticle of war has been complied with, by challenging the party to a duel, as a Court-martial has never been demanded in such a case ? Has not the usual construction of the word " redress " in the articles of war, tended to promote duelling, by the Offended party being morally certain that if lie did not break the articles of war by sending the challenge, he himself would be brought to a Court-martial and cashiered for not seeking- "redress," and if he did break the articles of war by sending a challenge, he would not be brought to a Court-martial for either offence—viz., not seeking " redress' according to Sir hlenry Hardinge's definition of the word, or sending the challenge? Is it not. notorious that, by the offending party sending the challenge, the articles of war ' have been considered as having been fulfilled to the spirit, as far as.the word- "redress" is concerned? • I hope that, since Sir Henry Hardinge has made the de claration that the word " redress" means seeking a Court martial, that you will be careful to notice - the next-duel that occurs, in which an officer in the army is concerned, and that you will remind him (Sir Henry Hardinge) that, although the party offended has taken the law into his own - hands, a Court-martial should be held on-him for disobedience of the articlei of war, not simply for sending the challenge,_ but, for not seeking "redress" by demanding a Court-martial.—l am, Sir, yours obediently, • ANTI-DUEL. Ilfracombe, March 14, 1844. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —THE LORD MAYOR AND HOLLOWAY'S PINS AND OINTMENT. -Tames Stanley, a gentleman's servant, residing at Long Ditt,on, made an affi davit at the Mansion-house (which his Lordship signed) to the effect that he (Stanley) had twenty-six holes in one leg and fourteen in the other, and that he had- been so afflicted for two years and a half, and lately could only move by the use of crutches ; and from this state he made oath he has been miraculously cured by Holloway's-Pills. and Ointment, after a host of surgeons and one hospital had failed to give him relief. Professor Holloway dispenses advice gratis at his Es tablishment, 244, Strand.—These remedies are sold there, and also by most respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the civilized world.

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 60,000/. In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 2/. per cant. per annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class from the time they were effected. The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1634, to December 31, 1940, is as follows : Sum Time Sum added Sum Time Sum added Assured. Assured. to Polley. Assured. Assured. to Policy. £5OOO 6 yrs. 10 mills. £683 6 8 £5OOO 4 years £4OO 5000 6 years 600 0 0 5000 2 years 200 The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and only one-half need be paid for the first Five Years, where the Insur ance is for Life.

The premiums are payable yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly, on tha sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of October, either of which several days constitutes the commencement of the year to Members. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, as Members, en the sth of April next, should appear, or lodge their proposals at the Office, on or before that day. So various are the plans now befoce the public for effecting As surance on Lite, that it may seem difficult to make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto s! - .own to he necessary, but differ in the mode •f disposing of the surplus or profit, the following classification may be made:- Ist. Proprietary Offices, whe e all the surplus from premiums and other profits is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stock. holders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be ween Share and Stockholders and the Assured. Od. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the Assured only. The METROPOLITAN, which is of the last class, was established in 18.15, and although no paid agents for town or country 'rive at any time barn employed, nor any expensive system of advertising re sorted to, yet its advantages have been so well "appreciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed £49,000. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing have been reduced FO %TY-TWO AND A HALF per Cent. A plait of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained on application at the office. RICHARD HEATHFIELD, Superintendent. Princes-street, Bank, 13th March, 1844.

Virhye§ir James Graham sai arse year - that con- ---- - cession to I re l an d h a d a l rea d y gone a sufficient extent and that it could not proceed further. Concession to Ire land! Why, that is just as if a robber took away your money from you forcibly, and would not etoncede to give you back one farthing of it.—(Cheers.) row, if in the last Parliament it was declared by a member of the Go vernment that concession had gone its fuil length, what hopes can-Ireland have of justice ? But there has been brought in this session a Bill, for the pur pose of laying the foundation of the robbery of our rep mining rights, small as they are—a Bill for the purpose of extinguish ing the franchise in Ireland. It is true they do not call it by that name—they do rot say that they have intro duced it for that purpose—they call it a 13i11 for the im provement of the franchise ; and—but, as I wish to call a spade a spade—(A laugh)—l denounce that Bill to the people of England as a gross injustice to the Irish people.—(Hear.) I will show you that it is an injustice to Ireland. It proposes that no man shall hav,i, a vote in Ireland who is not rated for the poor-rates at 10 . a year. Now, the Irish tenant who is rated at 101. for the poor-rate pays at least 201. a year; and when it is _recol lected that in Ireland the landlord pays half the poor rate, it will be seen that the tenants rated at 10/4for ti.‘e poor-law would include those, generally speaking, who* have an interest with 40/. a year, thus depriving the im mense number of small holders in Ireland of all chance of the franchise. Why, by this Bill no less than two - thirds of the inhabitants of Tipperary, that is, all the small holders, will not have a single vote.—(Shame, shame.) Those who brought in this Bill, and wish to destroy the franchise in Ireland, were afraid, however, that the high rating would not be sufficient to answer that purpose, and accordingly they have introduced the principle of what is called the Chandos clause, which allows tenants-at-will to vote. Now, the effect of that will be to hand over the representation of the people of Ireland to the Orange landlords. That is the pur- • pose, and that will be the effect of this Bill, and I an nounce it as my reply to those who will tell me to wait and sec what an English Parliament will do for Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) This is the first time in my lifd that I have been enabled to announce to the people of Ireland that there is sympathy for them felt by the people of England.—(Cheers.) I have already informed them of that sympathy—l have announced to them the receptions which I met at Birmingham 'and in London, and I will have the gratification of announcing to them that at Coventry also there was a similar display of sym pathy with their sufferings and deterMination to sup port them.—(Cheers.) I will be able to announce to them that whatever feelings tending to cause itritation formerly existed, they are now at an end, and that the people of Coventry are amongst those who will not par ticipate in any iniquitous design against the liberties of the Irish people.—(Loud cheers.) Am I not right in looking for a repeal of the union, to put an end to the injustice which Ireland has suffered?—(Cheers). If, by looking for a repeal of the union, I sought a separation of the two countries, then, indeed, I would be wrong in seeking it—but a repeal of the union would not produce a separation—it would unite the countries more closely. Why, Ireland had her own Parliament for 600 years without separating from England ; and although it be came more valuable towards the latter period of its con tinuation, yet it never caused any separation. Ido not, therefore, seek any separation from England in looking for a repeal of the union-1 do not seek any other King or Queen—l am satisfied with the dear little lady, that rules over us.—(Cheers and laughter,) Ido not want to establish any peculiar religion. I only wish that Ireland should have a Parliament to manage hes' own affairs—l wish to put an end to that system of centralisa tion which injures every country where it is applied; and in order to do so, I wish to have in Ireland it local Par liament for local purposes.—(Loud cheers.) Why should we not be allowed to manage our oWn "affairs by a local Parliament ? There is not a small deisendent province belonging to Britain that has not a local 'legis lature. Canada has a Parliament of her own, Nova Scotia has a Parliament of her own, Newfoundland has a Parliament of her own, Jamaica has a Parliament of her own, Barbadoes has a Parliament of her own—even Botany Bay has her own Parliament—(A laugh)—and why, then, I ask, should Ireland not have her own Le gislature ?—(Cheers.) lam seeking to restore it to her: that is what I am struggling for, and nothing else._; and if I thought a repeal of the union would lead to a sepa ration, I here solemnly assure you that I would take no part in the struggle.—(Cheers.) Is it from a want of a fruitful country, or from any other deficiency of natural resources, that the Irish people are in this state of misery which I have described ? Oh, no, there is no country in the world which Possesses a more abundant soil, or produces more plentifully all the means of human subsistenoe—there is no part of the globe that furnishes in such abundance all the prime ne cessaries of life—no country on the earth has greater ad vantages in a commercial point of view. Her geogra phical position, at the extreme west of the European world, and open to all the produce of America; ought to make her the entrepot of commerce ; her noble harbours, her magnificent estuaries, render her, fitted beyond al most any other other nation for commerce ; and her fa cilities of water communication are so great that their is not a portion of her whole extent thirty miles removed from the advantages of maritime transit.—(Hear.) If I see her, then, possessing all those natural advantages, and if, notwithstanding all this, I find her people suf fering extreme misery and destitution, am I not bound to raise my voice against it, and call upon you to assist me in putting an end to this state of things? Oh, it was not God that inflicted this misery 1 No. Providence has given her advantages with a bountiful hand. God blessed the land, but the wicked work of man has produced this affliction, and has trampled on those blessings. It may be said, however, to me, that the Irish are an idle people, tut(' that they do not Suffi c'ently cultivate the fertile soil with whiah their country has been blessed. Oh, give them protection in the cul tivation of their land, and you will find them no idlers. —(Cheers.) Idle ! Why what town in England has not her streets crowded with them in search of employ ment. Idlers ! Why, do they not throng in vast numbers to the manufacturing districts to obtain Work, and thus make the union the greatest curse which can befal the English people, by reducing their wages— by enabling a griping disposition to reduce wages, or by enabling the master manufacturers, in the natural and fair pursuit of their profits, to lower the wages that are given to English workmen, by sending so large an amount of labour into the market ? Bad government the real evil of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) The people are deprived of their just privileges and franchises.—(Hear, 'hear.) Even the people of England have not a fair share of the privileges to which they are entitled. The man is a slave who cannot vote for a representative. You have a slave class in England; but yet you are, with all that deprivation, as free again compared with the peeple of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) I saw a picture of Charles I. somewhere in this hall to-day.—(Laughter and cliqrs.) I'll tell you what you would do; you would not commit any act of disloyalty—you would not do anything by which you would forfeit that allegiance and fidelity which y ono we to our beloved Queen—(Cheers)—but the old spirit which was roused in the days of Charles L would be rowed again in the breasts of the men of England—swords would tremble at the sides of the civilians, and you would put down this injustice—without bloodshed, it is true, but Kith infallible success, for England would not bear it. England ought not to bear it, and Ireland ought not to bear it. I have protested against this injustice, and, in answer, I have been accused of conspiracy. Let them send me to prison ; but will they, by so doing, lessen the desire of the people of Ireland to have a Parliament of their own ? Will they remove the sense of injus tice ? Will they, by sending me to a dungeon, diminish the influence which I have over the people of Ireland— that influence over their affections which is astonishing to myself? They may immure me in a dungeon, but the affections of the people will smooth my mattrass of straw, and I shall lay down my head on that mattrass with happier feelings than the Ministers, who, by trickery and injustice, and partiality, sent me there.—(Great cheering.) This is the last crime they have committed against Ireland. In former times, when these crimes were committed against Ireland, the people of England, either unhappily were active agents in the injustice, or they stood by and looked on its perpetration with indiffe- • rence. Thank God, the case is altered now—(Cheers) —and a day has come when all good Englishmen Qf every class and persuasion are coining forward to evince their strong sympathy for the peop!e of Ireland, and their determination to have justice done to her. Oh, it is delightful to see such a sight as that which I now witness ; it is delightful to see such men as your res pected Mayor coming fore and to express his sympathy for Ireland. I was gratified beyond measure when he was forced to speak of himself, to hear all the qualities that characterise the Christian and the gentleman conceded to him by your universal acclamation ; and I could not re frain from saying, Thank God, such men are the sup porters and friends of Old Ireland.—(Cheers.) I have long struggled for the rights of the people, and I am delighted now to find such sympathy and support. I struggled for and obtained emancipation, not on any sectarian prin ciple, but on the broad principle that every man ought to be allowed to worship God according to his con science. It was. on that principle we carried emancipa tion; and here let me boast of the support which I gave the Protestant Dissenters of England. They were not active enough in seeking their own emancipation; but we showed the example, and they followed it; and there is the hand which drew up and presented a petition, signed by 28,000 Catholics, praying for emancipation for the Protestant Dissenters, and that petition reached Parliament very shortly before the gates were thrown open to the Protestant Dissenters.—(Cheers.) lyre sented that petition on the same principles as those on which I sought for emancipation for the Roman Catholics of Ireland—the principles of civil and re ligious liberty for all—(Cheers)—of a perfect equality of rights. It was with a view to obtain that equality of rights that I sought for emancipation ; but has emancipation given us an equality of rights in Ireland ? No such thing. If wo had an equality of rights, would the Catholics have been struck off the jury, as they had been at the late trials ? After pointing out the unfair-:. ness of the late Irish trials, he thus concluded :—I have detained you too long, perhaps—(No, no)—but I have left the monster grievance of Ireland untouched. I mean the Church Establishment in Ireland. In Eng land the Established Church is the Church of the ma jority ; in Scotland it is also the case ; but in Ireland, the Church of 500,000 or 600,000 persons is the Esta blished Church, which 6,000,000 of Catholics are bound to maintain. Is it not too bad that 6,000,000 of Ca tholics should be forced to pay for the Church of 600,000 ; but the Established Church in Ireland pro duces other evils in that country—it is the Shib boleth of a party which stimulates the gentry who are looking for future promotion for their sons and sons-in ' law, thrdugh the means of that Church ; therefore, I say; that the monster grievance of Ireland is the Esta blished Church; and when I say so, do I want to gain advantage for, or to injure any particular religion? Do I want to injure the interests of any of my Protestant fellow-countrymen? Oh! God forbid. _No ' .if any one proposed the introduction of a law that woulkhavolor its object the slightest restriction of the Protestant reli gion, or the least interference with the rights of any In 24m0., price 2s. 6d..
