DISASTROUS GALES.--The BOARD of MANAGEMENT of the SHIPWRECKED FISHERMEN and MARINERS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY have received letters from various of their auxiliary branches, containing the most painful accounts of the wrecks occasioned by the late unexpected gales. In many instances fishermen and mariners have perished, leaving their widows, orphans, and aged parents in complete destitution ; and in other cases where the lives of the crews of vessels and boats have been preserved, the men have lost all that they possessed, and been landed at a distance from their own homes. The demands upon the limds of the Society have, there fore, been both heavy and numerous to administer to the neces sities of the surviving relatives of the deceased, and to clothe, ahelter, and forward to their families the castaway mariners. The Board of Management entreat that the public will continue to render them that assistance which they have hitherto so generously afforded. It may be mentioned, as one amongst the benefits which this In stitution must confer upon the inhabitants of this kingdom, inland as well as upon the coast, that it must put an end to the practice of imposters travelling the country, representing themselves as ship, wrecked seamen, Inasmuch as the public, feeling assured that all true cases of distress from storms at sea will obtain prompt and efficient relief from this Charity, by the means of Its extensive agencies (633 in number), may suspend affording alms to all such applicants, and by contributing to this Institution (the annual subscription to which is only 2s. 6d.) mitigate real sorrow_ and defeat the designs of such unprincipled persons. Donations and subscriptions thankfully received by all the honorary secretaries and gentlemen (a list of whom may be obtained upon application) ; by Messrs.

GENERAL ADVANTAGES. The limited investment of British capital in the construction of Railways in France has hitherto been attended with both success and profit. The proposal, therefore, to establish a railway communica tion between the French capital and Strasburg, the point of depar ture to and from Germany, must command public attention and con fidence ; more particularly when it can be shown that peculiar faci lities are afforded by the French Government, and that those risks and expenses will be obviated, which, to so great an extent, affect si milar undertakings in England. BENEFITS rEcuman TO FRENCH RAILWAY INVEST MENTS. Conformably to the Law of the I Ith June, 1842, the French Go vernment have resolved on the formation of a railway from Paris to Strasburg. It is necessary to state that, by the terms of that law, the land will he purchased, and the earthworks, tunnels, bridges, sta tions, &c., will be executed by the Government, at their own ex pense and risk. A lease of the line for working will be made to the Company, whose investment will be limited to the ballasting of the road, the supplying and laying down of the rails, and providing the engines, carriages, &c. The ratification of this lease, the duration of the grant, the conditions of working, and the tariff of rates will be the matter of a special law. COMPARATIVE ABSENCE OF RISK. All the advantages of railway investment will thus - he secured to the Shareholders without those risks involved in the purchase of land, and errors in the estimate of cost, which have so frequently oc curred in similar undertakings in England. The only object of consi deration will he the conditions to be obtained from the French Go vernment for the working of the line, and there are sufficient data to convince the Provisional Directors that favourable terms will be granted to the proposed company. RATIFICATION OF THE LEASE. Negotiations have already been entered into for a Lease, and it will be the endeavour of the Provisional Directors to secure its immediate confirmation by the Government, which they have every reason to anticipate will be ratified by law during the present session of the French Chambers. IMPORTANCE OF THE LINE. It will be perceived that the line now proposed, from Paris to Stras burg, passing through Meaux, Chalons, and Nancy, must establish an international communication, traversing the richest and most industrious provinces of France, and commercially uniting England, by the port of Havre and the French metropolis, with Austria, Ba varia, the manufacturing province of Alsace, Switzerland, and the Rhine ; bringing into readier and closer intercourse, not only France and Germany, but Great Britain and the whole Continent, the city of Strasburg being already the point of departure for travellers from and to the Germanic Provinces, and the point to which the national railways of Germany are intended to converge. RESOURCES OF THE COUNTRY TO BE TRAVERSED—PRO BABLE EXTENT OF TRAFFIC. No doubt can exist as to the great extent of traffic to be anticipated from the construction of this line. The report of M. Correard, an eminent civil engineer, which will be deposited at the office of the Company for reference, has been obtained, and in this it is announced that the agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing resources of the provinces bordering or within easy distance of the line, are those of fifteen of the richest provinces in France—viz., Seine, Seine et Oise, Seine et Marne, Aisne, Ardennes, Marne, Aube, Haute-Marne, Meuse, Moselle, Meurthe, Vosges, Haute-Saone, Hant-Rhin, and Bas- Rhin, abounding in forests, mines, collieries, iron works, mills, and factories, as well as in rich vineyards, and various agricultural pro ductions. All of these provinces import much of what they consume, and have abundant surplus produce to export. The Interme diate traffic on this route is considered to he greater than in any other part of France, the total annual trade being estimated at 100,000 French tons between Strasburg and Paris ; while that between and among the various localites enumerated embraces double this amount. The total population is about six milliions and a quarter, and the total land revenue 320,000,000 f., or 12,800,0001., double that of the whole kingdom of Belgium. PRELIMINARY CONDITIONS OF INVESTMENT. The amount of capital intended to be raised at present is 60,000,000 f., or 2,400,0001., in nearly equal parts, in England and France. The deposit to be 50f. or 21. ;on payment of which receipts will be granted by the respective bankers of the Company, to be exchanged for certificates of shares at the Company's Office in Lon don, when the contract shall be ratified. The remaining instalments will only be called for at intervals of not less than three calendar months, at the rate of 21. each ; the first instalment not to be called for sooner than three months after the passing of the law constituting the Company. After full payment of the amount due in respect of his shares, each Shareholder will have the option of receiving cer tificates payable to bearer. INTEREST AND PROFIT ON INSTALMENTS The instalments will bear interest at 4 per cent. from the date of the passing of the law, until the Company shall be in full operation ; and such Shareholders as may pay their calls in London will be en titled to any profit accruing front the assumed exchange at 25f. per 1/. LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES. The privileges of a Societe Anonyme will he secured to the Com pany by a Royal Ordinance, which will limit the liabilities of the proprietors to the amount of their subscription, as in the incorporated railways of England, and the statutes of the Paris and Rouen, and Rouen and Havre Railway, which have been proved to work well, will he, as far as practicable, adopted hi the constitution of the Company. MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY. The executive management of the Company will be conducted by a Board of Directors sitting in Paris, attended by an English resident director, and their proceedings will be regularly communicated to the English directors, who will have the privilege of voting by proxy. An office will be established in London for the transfer of shares, the payment of dividends, and the furnishing of information to the Proprietors. APPROPRIATION OF PROFITS. After the opening of the line, the profits, at each declaration of dividend, will he thus appropriated. An allowance of 5,0001. per annum to be made to the Directors, including the remuneration of the English resident Director, and after payment of a dividend to the Shareholders of five per cent., one per cent. will be reserved as a sinking fund ; or, instead of this allowance of 5,0001., the Directors may, at their option, claim one-twentieth of the remainder, after the above dividend and reservation. The surplus to be again di vided into twentieths ; eighteen twentieths to be apportioned to the Shareholders. and the remaining two-twentieths to the projectors. PROVISION IN CASE OF NON-CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY. In the event of the Company not being constituted, the deposit money will be returned to the Subscribers without deduction, but without interest, the projectors, in that case, bearing all expenses. POWER AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DIRECTORS. Tt is obvious that in such an important undertaking as the present full power should be given to the Directors, and it must be understood that the Subscribers are bound by such terms as the Directors may accept on their. behalf, but the Subscribers may rest assured that in all negotiations the Directors will have a strict regard for the general interest of the body they represent. _ ENGINEER. An English Engineer of eminence will be appointed by the English Directors as soon as they are in a position to require his services. APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

MR. O'CONNELL in BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY NIIIIT. This afternoon a public meeting, convened by requisition to the Mayor, was held in the Town-hall, for the purpose, as stated by the advertisement, of taking measures for the protection of the con stitutional liberties of the British people from the dangers to which recent proceedings in Ireland have exposed them. Previous to the meeting this morning, Mr. O'Connell was pre sented at the Queen's Hotel with an address from the Repeaters of Birmingham, to which he made the following reply :—" Gentlemen, you have called upon me suddenly, and when I was unprepared for the kindness of the address which has just been read. I want no preparation, however, to enable me eniphatically to announce my cordial concurrence in the sentiments of patriotism, philan. throphy, and Christian feeling, which characterise it. You are right—l am an apostle of that sect which teaches that no advantage, political or otherwise, should be sought or is worthy of attainment by any other than peaceful and legal means ; and that a single drop of human blood would taint any object, however useful and im portant in itself. In working out these doctrines I have had the co.operation and support of the people of . Ireland, who have met repeatedly in thousands and tens of thousands, displaying that inert strength which would be so powerful if they chose to use it, but instead , att.tlependiva. on • orce for the attainment of their rights, relying solely on the nfiuence of public opinion. If, in consequence of advocating those doctrines, I :should be brought to the prison or the scaffold, then, in such a cause, they are welcome. The prison and the ecagbld arc welcome if they prove effectual in carrying those doctrines. lam now in the power of your enemies and mine, and they never yet had power, but they used it against those whose interests I advo. cate ; that power they will use against me; but they cannot change my purpose; they may strike, but they cannot intimidate. for it is part of my duty to suffer in the advocacy of those doctrines which I have so long inculcated. I have, however, the satisfaction of reflecting that the verdict which was obtained against me was one unfounded in fact, and was obtained by means so disgraceful, that the public, instead of censuring me, have expressed OWN dis approbation of those means; and I believe I may safely say, that instead of being lessened, I have been elevated by it in the opinion of men who are amongst the most eminent of those who advo cate the welfare of the whole community. They may punish me, but that punishment shall not prevent the Irish people from seeking and obtaining their inherent rights. ' We have applied to the British Parliament, but they have been deaf to our applications. The people of England appear, however, to be uniting with us, and by that union, in demanding the rights of the whole, we may succeed in contri. buting to a settlement of the liberties of the people of the em pire in such a manner as, without interfering with independent interests, may secure the happiness of all. I thank you heartily and sincerely for the sentiments you have so kindly expressed in that address." The meeting was appointed to take place at one o'clock, and at that hour the hall, which will hold about 9,000 persons, was densely crowded. Amongst the principal persons present `were the Rev. H. Hutton (and other Unitarian ministers), the Rev. T. M. Macdonnell (and other Roman Catholic priests) ; Town. Council. lore Baldwin, T. Clark, Gywther, Wood. Rawlings, Smith, C. Sturge ; Mr. Joseph Sturge, the Rev. T. Morgan Rodwey, Mr. Boultbee, kc. Mr. J. &URGE presented himself amidst loud cheers, and said, he was sure his fellow-townsmen would sympathise with the Mayor en the cause of his lamented ebsence. The fact was, he had been called upon to perform a meat melancholy duty, to at tend the funeral of his mother on the previous day. But, although the ceremony took place at a distance, he was happy to say that the Mayor, who sympathised wi th the wrongs of Ireland, would be present at half-past one o'clock. In the interim, in order that things might go forward, he should beg leave to move that " Mr. George Edmonds, the clerk of the peace of the borough, do take the chair."—(Loud cheers.) _ . Mr. Edmonds was called to the Chair amidst loud acclamation. The CHAIRM►A, in opening the proceedings, said it was well known he had laid it down as a principle, that holding the office he did in the borough, it was not right, or at least not expedient, that he should take any part in party politics. He was placed on that occasion in an honourable situation, to do homage to a man of great talents and great patriotism.—(Loud cheers) They had, by a majority of that immense meeting, elected him as a locum ten ens for the Mayor, and upon the arrival of that worthy man he would immediately vacate the distinguished post he then occupied. —(Cheers.) He was sure that on that occasion he (Mr. Edmonds) would witness what he had witnessed on all previous occasions— an unanimity of opinion and an enthusiasm of feeling, worthy of and correspondent with the subject which had brought them toga. then.—(Cheers.) Mr, MORGAN, Solicitor and Secretary of the Complete Suffrage Association, begged leave to move the adoption of the following resolution : " That the people of Ireland, as subjects of the British Crown, are entitled to enjoy all the tights and liberties which belong to the inhabitants of the other parts of the empire, anu -.44- to derive the benefit of a just and impartial Government. " That this principle has been violated by a long course of mis. government, of which recent circumstances afford flagrant proof, particularly in the suppression, by military force, of a peaceable public meeting, convened for legal purposes, and in the selection of a sectarian jury upon the late trial of D. O'Connell, Esq., and others. "That these circumstances, while they justify the utmost alarm for the constitutional rights of the whole nation, call for an ex. pression of hearty sympathy with the people of Ireland, who have, notwithstanding their oppressions, exhibited that peaceable and exemplary conduct which ought to command every exertion for She speedy redress of their grievances by Parliament." Mr. I'. C. SALT congratulated the meeting on the reception they had given Mr. O'Connell—a man standing alone in this world before his fellow-creatures as doing battle by moral means for the rights of his country—whose whole life had been devoted to the Irish people, and who had been trusted by them with an affection which gave him more than a Royal power.—(Cheers.) He cor. dially supported the reso'ution. The resolution was then carried unanimously. Mr. JosLeu STUMM presented himself, and was loudly cheered. He comir enced by observing that he hoped they were met for prac tical purposes, and the resolution which he held in his hand had practical objects in view. They were met together, not to protest against a Coercion Bill like that passed by the Whigs, but against proceedings which went directly to subvert the British Constitu. tion.—(Cheers.) Toey were all aware that the late debate in the House of Commons was got up for party purposes, but although unquestionably a party debate, it ha I brought to light many salu. tary truths. It showed most clearly that the jury by whom Mr. O'Connell and his colleagues were tried was a partisan jury, and that even according to the charge of the Chief Justice, the meetings for attending which the parties were indicted wire perfectly legal. —(Cheers.) After some other obser►ations, Mr. Sturge concluded by proposing the following resolution : " That instead of the recognition of the people as the source of all power, the British empire appears to be in danger of becoming subject to a despotism. That the only guarantee for the attainment and protection of perfect civil and religious liberty is to be found in a full, fair, and free representation of the people, and this will be most effectually obtained by the friends of the people in Par liament enforcing the ancient constitutional principle, that redress of grievances should pr,ecede the voting of supplies.''—Cheers. Mr. W. H. Witsos seconded the resolution. The resolution was then carried amidst great cheering. Mr. ALLBRIGIIT, a member of the Society of Friends, said he had a petition to present, which would conclude the business of the afternoon. [There were here loud calls for Mr. O'Connell, and in order to appease the public clamour, the speaker said he should simply confine himself to submitting the petition for the adoption of the meeting ] The Rev. Hucn Ihrrrom most cordially seconded the resolution. The petition, which embodied the previous resolutions, was carried amidst loud applause. The Chairman then introduced Mr. O'Connell to the meeting. When the Hon. and Learned Gentleman came forward to the front of the platform, there was a general burst of cheering from the meeting. Those in the galleries rose from their seats, the gentle men waving their hats and the ladies their handkerchiefs. The cheering continued for nearly fire minutes. As soon as silence was restored, Mr. O'Comtiatt said,—l with to-ask you one question, and that is, whether you or any one among yoU, is desirous of know ing what brought me here 7—(Cries of " Yes, yes.") Well, then I will tell you. I came for two reasons to Birmingham. The first was to express, in the strongest terms the English language would afford, delight and gratification at the sympathy which my country and I as her advocate have received from the people of England since the recent transactions.—(Cheers.) I was grateful before I came, but what must be my gratification now, after having received such a hearty reception among you—when I see so many congregated thousands giving me —no, not me, but my unhappy country—the tribute of their sympathy, and I will add perhaps of their support?—(Cheers.) Fbr it is not an English fashion to shout loudly In support of a cause one day and abandon it and treat it with neglect the next. That is a course which you have not commen:ed yet during the eight centuries that you have been a nation, and I hardly think it is worth your while to begin it now. I should not believe one word if any one were to tell me that your sentiments were now otherwise. I rejoice, therefore, to have to announce to the people of Ireland that there is no longer a distinction between Englishmen and Irishmen— that Saxon and Celt, Scotch, Welch, English, and Irish, will henceforth be one nation in sentiment and sympathy, united together in one great general movement for the benefit of all. My first object, then, was to express my grati tude; the second, to exhibit that gratitude by endeavouring to conciliate the people of both countries—to animate them in the great object of putting down class legislation, the tyranny and oppression of the poorer classes, —in putting an end to oligarchial dominion, and giving the sacred principle of democratic liberty its full sway and entire power.—(Cheers.) I conceive that I avn performing my duty in thus attempting to conciliate the two countries to each other—the people of the two countries ; for, as to the upper classes, as they are falsely called—as to the wealthier classes, I make a present of them to any body who may choose to pick them up.— (Laughter.) There is one law for them and another for you. Last week that was shown in both Houses of Parliament, when, while the tines inflicted on the poor man, while every magisterial inflic tion is left unrepealed, penalties were averted from the heads of the rich, and charity assumed that shape in which it is not blessed by Heaven—when, instead of being exerted for the benefit of the poor, it is used for the purpose of giving renewed powers of oppression to the rich.—(Cheers.) In the performance of this duty—in thus endeavouring to reconcile the sentiments of the people of the two countries—l wish to get rid of two mistakes into which the friends of liberty in England have fallen. I do not care for the calumnies of those who are ready to make use of any pretext for opposing us and contriving our separation, but I do look with great regret on the mistakes committed by honest men. It is my duty to expose them, and to set those parties right on points of fact, and as to the reality of the present position of the two countries as regards each other. There are two objections which honest men make to me with respect to myiproceedings ; first, that the union was a compact or bargain betweesritin•o nations, which, as a bargain once made, ought not to be violated ; and secondly, that in looking for a repeal of the union we are looking for a separation between the two countries. Now I admit, that if the union could be proved to have been a bargain between the two countries, it ought not to be violated. But I utterly deny that it was a bargain, and I will tell you why.—(Hear, hear.) The Irish people were not consulted with respect to it. The meetings of the people to petition against the measure were prevented. The Sheriff of King's County and the Sheriff of '1 ipperary called meetings of the people for the purpose of petitioning against the measure, and those meetings were dispersed at the point of the bayonet. During the time the union was in agi tati on trial by jury was suspended, the Habeas Corpus Act was suspended, martial law was proclaimed, and was frequent all over the country. The people did not dare to utter one word, for a jury of five officers could send any man to the gallows, and they did send a multitude there. There were 175,000 bayonets in Ireland at the time, and the people could not hold public meet. inv. Yet, even In that state of things, 707,000 people petitioned against the union, petitions being carried from house to house. There were only 5,000 petitioners in favour of the union, and the measure was carried by force and fraud, aided by the most enor. mous bribery that was ever yet invented. No less a sum than 1,275,000/. was given for the purchase of rotten boroughs, and 3,000,0001. was spent in direct corruption, in order to dila the object.—(Hear, hear.) I deny, then, that the union was the result of a bargain. If a robber points ,a pistol to a man's breast and says—" If you give me money I will not shoot you, but if you don't I will," that is a bargain ; and just such a bargain it was that was made at the time when the union was carried.— (Laughter.) The Government could not carry the measure by the votes of Irish Members, so they bought forty scats at an enormous price, and put in English and Scotch officers to vote for the union. I am glad to have the opportunity of again stating this, because I know that what I say will be carried on the wings of the press, and that all England, nay, ail Europe, will once more know the foul means by which Ireland was defrauded of her native Pailiament. —(Cheers.) But then it is said that repeal means separation. I deny it, and I go further, and say that if I thought it did mean separation, I should not be for it. And I tell you with all the so. lemnity, hut none of the profaneness of an oath—l tell you, in the solemnity of truth, that I am thoroughly convinced that the very means of preventing a separation between the two countries is by repealing the union. The people of Ireland cannot endure it, and I believe that but for my influence over them—an influence which to myself is astonishing, but which arises from a conviction that I have always.•lol.oured issiliMpaple, and against their enemies, and that my o ly motive ire to secure their umnfort and happiness—l firmly believe, I say, that but for that influence a sc. paration could not have been prevented.—(Cheers.) separation: Why, the countries were joined for 600 years while Ireland had a Parliament of her own. During the American war the Irish people allowed every soldier to leave Ireland and go to America, There was no necessity for them, and the people of Ireland them. selves armed for the defence of their country against the French, the Dutch, and the Spanish. The Irish volunteers rose as one man, and became such a formidable bulwark:to the country, that not a single foreign foe durst trample on the soil of Ireland for a moment. —(Hear, and cheers.) No; what I want by repeal is not separa. tion. I want to continue the connexion between the two countries. All I want is, that there should be a local Par liament in Dublin, to do the business of Ireland, to pass laws for Ireland alone—to have nothing to do with Im. perial concerns—to leave to England the government of the cold. nies, and of England, Wales, and Scotland, but to have nothing to do with laws binding on Ireland. Apply the case to the corpora. [lon of Birmingham. Suppose any one were to get up and say, " Let us have an union with Manchester. You shall send ten Alen there as your representatives, and they shall have 500 of their own ; and this united' corporation shall have the power of making laws for the paving, lighting, watching, and all the interior regulations of Birmingham." What would you think of such a proposal as that ?—(Laughter.) Now, I am for Birmingham ma. naging its own affairs, and for Manchester its own, and I am on the same principle for Ireland managing her internal affairs, and contributing to the maintenance of the Throne and the stability of the institutions of the country, by ready contrributions for all ne cessary purposes, and still more by watching that none should be contributed to what were not necessary.—(Cheers.) But some people will ask, " Why do you want change ? Is not Ireland pros perous ? Has she not for forty years enjoyed the ' blessings' of the union ?" I will tell you what Ireland got by the union. When Ireland was under her own Parliament she only owed 20,000,000/. The English Parliament had involved the empire since that period in 441,000,0001. of debt. Ido like a Parliament that saves the public money I—(Laughter.) However, at the time of the union Ireland exported 3,000,00 N. of native manufactures, and imported only 1,000,0001. worth. There was, then, a balance on the wages of labour in favour of Ireland of '2,000,0001. annually. You bad not then the thousands of starving Irish coming over here to shut out the English labourer from Work, crowding the towns, and by competing in the market, lowering the wages of la lour. They were then taken care of at home, and wages were not lowered in England, because there was not this ad. ditional competition in the labour-market.—(Hear, and cheers.) Ireland was prosperous then. I ask English statesmen to meet me foot to foot, and say if she is prosperous now. Ireland has had no manufactures. True ; it may be said that hngland must have more on that account. But lam sure that you would not, from mere selfishness, wish to prosper at the price of the misery of Ireland. There is ample room for all, if we had a fair and honest Govern ment, which would lower the burdens of the people and grant in creased franchise and increased securities for our liberties. The world is wide enough for all. Look, however, to the state of Ire. land. The Commission of Poor-law Inquiry six years ago investi gated the poverty of Ireland, and from their Report it appeared that, out of a little more than 6,000,000 of people in Ireland, ',300,000 were in a state of destitution ; that is to say, nearly one-third of the inhabitants of that rich and fertile country are in a state of destitution. The population returns of 1841 show a falling Mot 70,000 per annum, as compared with the ten y ears before 1831; that is to say, the retrocession of the population of Ireland during those ten years was 700,000. If the increase of population be the best test of the prosperity of a country, the retrogradation of a ,amt he a test of the want of that prosperity. And that is the case of Ireland. There is no man who possesses one iota of know h dge in political economy but what must go with me in this. I say that 700,000 murders have been committed in Ireland during the period I refer to, for every human being who might have come to maturity during that period has in fact been deprived of existence by bad laws and bad government. I arraign then,. I plant on them the stain of blood, of multiplied murder. I arraign them for the slaughter of 700,000 people in the course of ten years. Ido this on the testimony of the Report of their own Commissioners, and on the evidence established by the publication of that Report by the two Houses of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) But what more does that Report :contain ? It states that upwards of 70 per cent, of the whole population of Ireland arc in such misery that they are obliged to live in houses containing only a single room ; and that 30 per cent. of the town population were in such a state that frequently three, four, and five families occupied a single room, and no person occupied more than a single room.—(Cries of Shame!") 1 may appear to be wasting your time by thus talk ing of the woes of Ireland; but I do hope that I am animating your sympathy, exciting your attention, and leading you to call with a voice of thunder on the governors and the Government to look to giving the people of Ireland a remedy for their sufferings instead of a prosecution and a ccnviction.—(Cheers.) I will men. tion one fact more. In 1830, when the Whig Government came in, Mr. Spring Rice wanted to prove that Ireland was then becom ing prosperous, the Emancipation Act having passed. He got a Committee—it was called the Prosperity Committee, and he pro duo.ed as a witness before that Committee a Mr. Wiggins, who had been a land agent on a very extensive scale in Ireland. That gen tleman deposed that there had not been much prosperity in Ireland up to that period, but he attributed it to the agitation for emanci. pation, and to the Emancipation Act not having been passed. He prophesied, however, that in future there would be a very different state of things. Now, this Mr. Wiggins published the other day a pamphlet, entitled the Monster Evil of Ireland, in which, so far from his stating that Ireland had become more prosperous since the year 1830, he said that it was now in an infinitely worse con dition. That misery will go on. What is to stop it ? The same causes that produced it continue to operate—misgovernment, ab senteeism, refusal of the right of the franchise, taking away from the people of Ireland the management of their own affairs and putting them into the hands of men who care nothing for Ireland, and who, if they can practise their own manoeuvres to attain party power, do not care what becomes of the people of Ireland. Remember, it is not stature that makes Ireland sterile. No ; Ireland is, for its size, one of the most fruitful countries on the face of the globe, one the most capable of producing all the necessaries of life. She is fertile—oh, no country in the world is so well placed for commerce—with such noble estuaries, with such communication from the centre to the sea, that there is no place in Ireland more than thirty miles from a good harbour. Then, why is there this starva,ion and misery ? The answer is, because there has been misgovernment and oppression. —(Cheers.) Well might one of our Bishops say, that although the people of Ireland might continue to submit to their wrongs for conscience sake, no transition could be to them for the worse; and that if the army were turned out to slaughter them, it would be better for them to be in their graves than to exist in their present misery. I have now, however, to rejoice that I see an opening for the people of Ireland in the sympathies of the English people. I shall not soon forget the cheers with which you received me to. day, nor those which are still ringing in my ears from Covent garden Theatre.—(Cheers.) I am bound to say, and I say it in the pride and exulation of my heart, that I never saw such a meet ing in England as that which I see before me to-day. I have been in this hall before. I have been here when English affhirs were agitated, and when interests of a personal nature attracted a great crowd, but never did I see in the discussion of English affairs such a numerous, such an overpowering—oh I such a majestic meeting as this I—(Cheers.) Believe me, that whatever faults we Irish. men have, want of gratitude is not among them. Our errors are mistakes of reason—the head is wrong, but never the heart. These cheers at Birmingham will spread all over Ireland. They will be re-echoed to the Giant's Causeway—they will sound when the bil low breaks over Cape Clear—the hills of Connemara and the Hill of Howth will reverberate the echo—when it is announced to the people of Ireland that at least the people of England were really beginning to sympathise with their wrongs.—(Cheers.) Be lieve me, the people of Ireland are equally ready to sympathise in your struggle. Your Reform Bill is a total failure, or nearly so. By reducing the constituencies, it has brought them up to to the bribery point. There are now just enough of them to be bribed. Bribery indeed is become necessary ; for, actual nomina tion being put an end to, it is necessary to buy votes in another way. For every one crime of bribery under the old sysiem there must now be some 200 or 300. So that there is really an addi. tien to the criminality—to those offences which bring down the ta.C.ohrgirsotisasnawshyostdeomes_no(ct h r e a e ly s. r ) ound us and wish us to vengeance of Providence on corrupt and wicked nations. That is We will assist you.— put ma n a e n n o ci t (Cheers.) lam not one of those who are for refusing instalments of public liberty. lam for getting all I can, and I will help you to get as much as you can, leaving the rest to the future. The people of Ireland are ready to go with you. Our principles of Par liamentary reform are manifest. We insist that, not cows, or sheep, or houses shall have votes, but men. At present the mete occupation of a 10/. house gives a vote, while the man who earns 251. a year by his labour—by the exercise of God's gifts--has none. I say that man is a slave.—(Cheers.) There is a story told by Dr. Franklin, which I will tell you. A man in Philadelphia claimed to vote, as being worth 101. ; but, to make up the sum he included an ass, valued at 13s. When he came up to vote, the ass had died in the interval, and his vote was successfully opposed. "Ah I ha," cried he, " I did not know before it was my ass that had the vote, and not me."—(Laughter.) Why, the people of England are themselves asses if they do not see that this tale applies to them. It is robbery to deprive a man of his vote because he lives in a room and not in a house. What lam surprised at is, that you do not at once divide yourselves into a slave class and a master class. (Hear.) You sing at your dinners and meetings, " Britons never will be slaves." Why, I say that every man who has not a vote is a slave, and I will tell you why. A slave is one for whom some body else makes laws—whose conduct, whose property, whose tax ation is regulated by laws over which he has no control.—(Hear.) That mats is a slave. Write him down a slave I Men of Birming ham! form your slave class at once of those who have no votes. Count those who have—they are very few —and let the enormous multitude remaining resolve that they will leave no peaceable means untried until they cease to be slaves and acquire as much power as their neigh bours ; they have the right to make their owls laws.—(Loud Cheers.) Ireland, I say, is ready to assist. They may shut me up in a dungeon; they bare me in their power..—(Cries of " No.") PUBLICATIONS. A NOVEL FROM INDIA.

January 1, 1844. FREEMASONRY. THE ELECTION OF GRANDMASTER OF THE UNITED GRAND LODGE OF ENGLAND AND WALES. After nearly twelve months' interregnum, the period for the election of a successor to the lamented Duke of Sussex, the late Grand Master, by annual election, arrived, and great, indeed, was the interest felt in a matter of such momentous import to the Royal craft. The long intermission has given to every province and district under the masonic sway—from England to India— suf ficient time for consideration as to whose hands this important trust should be confided. The constitution provided for the lamented occasion, and the Pro-Grand Master, the Earl of Zetland, assumed, accordingly, the honourable duty of presiding ad interim. Well and faithfully did he perform this duty. It was no com mon difficulty to follow the steps of his Royal predecessor, who, for upwards of thirty years, had filled the ma sonic throne. The importance of the trust, how ever, disposed many of the fraternity to cast an eye toward the Marquis of Salisbury, the Deputy Grand Master, partly from personal preference, partly pro bably from a desire of change in the views which the Pro-Grand Master may entertain on other subjects. We do not presume to dispose of the question cavalierly, when we observe that in either case such view was erroneous, as being at variance with Masonic principle ; nor shall we follow the course of some badly advised weekly Contemporaries, who, in endeavouring to advocate the presumed claims of the most honourable brother, the Marquis of Salisbury, to kuch a distinguished rank, have lost sight of the just claims which the truly Ma sonic character of the Earl of Zetland presented to their attention—claims so apparent to the zealous and think ing part of the fraternity, that while gratitude would have disposed them to have associated to ensure a bril liant majority, if not a unanimous election—they obeyed strictly the wishes of their noble brother, that no canvass whatever should be made. It is not improbable that this honourable conduct had its weight with the Marquis, who, although present at the last Grand Lodge, when he also was nominated, was silent on the subject. The meeting was held in the large hall, and embraced upwards of five hundred grand officers.—roasters, past /7" here—as determined there as I am influence over the people of Ireland there as I have here.—(Cheers.) They may shorten the space of my daily walks, but they cannot lessen the sphere of my PolitAral influence. Crone what will, we will struggle with you, that you shall be protected from all oppression—by the ballot, the honest ballot, under which the man would give his own vote, and not the vote of his master, or his landlord, or his customer—the honest ballot, which will prevent men from offering bribes; for who will' be fool enough to give a bribe when he is not sure that the vote will be given ?—that the man who is rascal enough to take a bribe may not also be scoundrel enough not to earn it ? To be sure, the fellow would rise to something like virtue in so disappointing the villain. I need not tell you that your Parliaments also would be shortened. Why do I say these things ? It is to show you that I am not here for Ireland only, but that I speak equally for my English fellow-countrymen; that there is nothing I would strug gle to obtain for my own countrymen that I would not equally put my shoulder to the wheel for on behalf and fsr the benefit of Eng lishmen. But remember the adage I have so often repeated to my Irish fellow-countrymen— I address it now to the slave class— " Hereditary bondsmen, know ye not Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow l" Who is it that gets friends ? The loan who can do without them; The man who trusts to others to do his business never gets it dose, (Hear, bear.) Through you I thank thl people of England-in the name of the people of Ireland I thank you, for I am not vain enough to suppose that these thousands came here to pay me in dividually a compliment. No; they had higher and nobler feel ings. They came here to meet me to-day because I represent the people of Ireland.-(Cheers.) Aye, that shout was for the people. of Ireland; and I now next appeal to you against the gross injus tice of the recent proceediugs. I protest in the face of man-even in that of the Creator-against that proceeding, and I say that it was one of the basest proceedings that ever occurred, even under the basest governments. They may increase my sentence, but they shan't terrify me from expressing my opinions. It is my duty to remind you that what to-day is a fact as regaads me, _may tomor row he turned into a proceeding against you. Look at the whole of their proceedings. The people of Ireland appealed to the Eng lish Parliansent for redress. aVe showed the grievances of Ire land-her poverty and distress. We showed that there was no real union at all; because, if there was, we should have equality of rights. Now, have we equality of rights P lam not going to take up your time with many calculations, but I will just com pare the condition of Cork, the county I represent, with the condition of Wales, as regards the number of representa tives. I stand here as the Parliamentary representative of 750,000 persons, and the counsy of Cork has only two represen tatives; while Wales, which has only one-sixteenth more of popu lation than Cork, or 800,000 people, sends 28 members to Parlia ment.-(Cries of " Shame :") Aye, shame, and sin, and sorrow, and blighting confusion to those who have not honesty enough to recognise the extent of that atrocity, and fear of man and God enough to redress the evil immediately. But it may be said that Wales is the richer of the two. Let us see. The Customs' duty paid by the county of Cork is 263,36.1/., and the Excise duty paid is 272,5251., making a total of 535,889/, ; Wales pays to the Customs 26,1301., and to the Excise 176,0461 making a total of 202,185/. So that Wales pays less than Cork county to the amount of 333,7041.-(Cries of " Shame!") Now, I think this is a piece of statistics worth knowing. Wales, which yields to the revenue only half whieh is yielded by Cork, has SIS members, while Cork has only two.-(Shame.) Suppose the case to be re versed, is there a single fiery Welehman, from the eldest son of Rebecca down to the last of them--(A laugh)-who would not burst forth in anger and indignation, who would not at once ex claim that he was a Briton, and insist, with the resolution of a Briton, that the tyranny should be put an end to ?- (Cheers.) But I will show you also how it operates with regard to the voters. Cork, with a population of 750,000,1ia 3 5 8 7 00 1y 0 1,500 voters, while Wales, which has only 8.00,000, has -(Hear, hear.) Should Ibe a man if I stood quietly by and saw this without remonstrance P Should I, I say, having acquired the confidence of the Irish people and their affection to a degree which is indescribable P Oh if you saw how their eyes glisten on me as I go along-if you saw how the aged women raised their hands and eyes to heaven for a blessing on me-if you could see the stalwart youths leaving their toil in the fields, and standing by the roadside with their hats in their hands and tears in their eyes, and crying, " Oh! long life to you, O'Connell, for the sake of Ireland !"-Oh, if you heard the praises spoken by the sweet voices of girls, and even the lisping babes, as I go along, praying for prosperity to Daniel O'Connell ! -you would think me the most hardened of human beings if my heart did not expand, if my blood did not throb in my veins-aye, and if my arm, thongh years may have impaired its strength, did not rise superior to the decay in the powers of life-if all the thoughts and feelings of my soul did not concentrate in one deter mination to devote all my efforts to obtaining justice for Ireland. -(Loud cheers.) As we have talked of corporations, let me show you the effect this inequality produces with regard to the votes for corporations. Altogether Ireland is the poorer country; no man can vote as a burgess unless he be rated at 10/. per annum to the poor-pate. In Dublin, unless a man be so rated, he cannot vote for members of the corporation, for poor.law guardians, for town-councillor-not can he do so until he has paid no less than nine different taxes which bang over him, In England, if a man has paid his poor-rate and borough rate he is entitled to vote, but in Ireland he must occupy a house relatively of the value of 201., and pay 'lithe taxes I have referred to. What is the conse quence ? Why, that out of 1,800 houses in Dublin, the right to vote only attaches to 600. Now, when you talk of equality of privileges, I say it is a lie. You may give it a more civil name if you like.-(Cheers and laughter.) Now, I appeal to yet' against all these proceedings. I have told ydu that we applied to Whigs and Tories, who alike refused redress. In 1839, when I moved for leave to bring in a Bill to extend the franchise, the Whigs did not wait for the Tories to oppose it, but Lord Morpeth got up and would not give me even the privilege of laying the Bill on the table. Well, I told the people of Ireland of all those things, and they have rallied round me in consequence. They rallied round use. There were forty-one meetings. These were all legal meetings, because they were perfectly peaceable ; there was no riot, no violence, no property destroyed, no injury done, no tumult, no turbulence miraculous to say, there was not even a single accident at them. 1 will tell you how this miracle occurred. It was because every one was forbearing to his neighbour-was thinking more of being kind to his neighbour than of taking care of himself. Up starts an Attor. ney.General and says, " Although these meetings are all legal, you arc nevertheless conspirators." Why, as I told him, you may mul tiply cyphers for ever, and you will get no quantity. But in law. 1 logic it seems that these meetings, legal in themselves, form loge. ther a foul and seditious conspiracy. Men of England 1 I say, look to yourselves. What is our case to-day may be yours to. morrow.-(Cheers.) Our friend Sturge may have yet to answer at the bar of the Queen's Bench before a hardy judge and a profligate jury.-(Hear.) I tell you that it will be impossible for you to , ameliorate your institutions if you do not stand by us now-if you do nut put an end to this judge-made law.-(Hear, hear.) For you are not safe under this law. You may think it will not reach you ; but that is the way ruin conies upon nations. You would wait till the pestilence comes to yott next door before you would send for a physician. I say cleanse the filth at once from the Au gcan stable. Let it accumulate, and there will not be a particle of soundness in your constitution, nor any power of recovery.- (Cheers.) I arraign the charge of conspiracy and that prosecution as one of the foulest plans ever adopted by the basest Govern ment to put down the liberties of the people. But when I come closer and look at the packed jury, I feel a sense of indignation I cannot describe. 1 call on the people of England to support trial by jury. Whatever liberty they have they owe to the shield of pro. tection thrown over them by trial by jury. What were the pro ceedings with regard to the Jury in the late case? First, all the Roman Catholics were struck off the jury-an insinuation that they were perjurers, and could not be trusted to give a verdict on their oaths.-( Shame.) They must have an exclusive Protestant jury to try ins, the great Catholic agitator of Ire land But then they say, that all the Catholics were Repeaters. Suppose they were-suppose there were 6,500,000 Repeaters in Ireland ; their being Repeaters would not be a legal ground of challenge to one of them. But the prerogative of the Crown, in the hands of a fighting Attorney-General, serves to do that whirls could not be done by the common law of the land. The impute tion, however, is worse than the insult ; it is a lie. They made a. bad excuse worse by telling a falsehood.-(Hear, hear.) But who were the jury that, after all, were appointed to try me ? Why, a jury of violent Antisßepeaters, eight of whom had voted three times against me in Dublin. Now, was it fair to strike off all the Repeaters, and pack a jury of strong Anti-Repealers ?-(Hear.) Why, shame upon them !-(Cheers,) Suppose a jury of parsons were inspannelled to try Joseph Sturge for non-payment of tithes. That would be purity of trial by jury. -(A laugh.) And when t bey talk of their anxiety to have a fair Jury, I am afraid it is a left handed anxiety. Justice, I fear, In my case, has had a paralytic strike-(A laugh)-and the mortified side was turned to me. I repeat, that it was a packed jury. England, nay the whole world, responds that it was.-(Cheers.) They may say that they could not get an impartial one. Then why try at all ? Vindicate the law by all means on your own responsibility, but do not try a construc tive offence-one existing by the imagination of lawyers only by party jury. Don't make your giants as Tom Thumb did. in order to kill them. Don't make a sort of spectral crimes originating only in imagination and poetic description. Don't at.. tempt to get a jury at all if you can't get an impattial one. And whose fault is that you cannot ? Oh ! it is the fault of your vernment, which has not been impartial-which, instead of being neutral, has taken the part of a faction. There is one fact, how ever, which they never can get over-I mean the omission of then names of nearly 40 Roman Catholics from the jury list. We placed on the record a charge that this had been fraudulently done, and the judges decided against us because we did not state who com mitted the fraud-so that a man must not be charged with murchirs because we do not know his exact name or the name of the de. ceased. Why did not the Attorney-General try the question or fraud P Because he preferred to rely on the judges.-(Hear, hear,) He did not hesitate to avail himself of the fraud, though he denied having any hand in it.-(Hear.) Then came the charge of she, judge. As I said in the House of Commons, never since the time of Scroggs and Jeffreys has there been so uncandid a charge- Everybody attacks the judge-nobody defends him. But when we reflect on how the judges have been appointed in Ireland, no won-, der that they should deliver left.handed charges. The lion. and. Learned Gentleman here referred to Lord Normanby's speech, the other evening on the snbject of the proceedings with re gard to the school at Ballysack, and the interference of Judge Le-• froy and Sergeant Jackson. These, lie said, were a specimen of thee sort of judges who had been supported by the present Government,. But how had others been treated who had used language far mores strong than he had done? Ile reminded them of the great Bino mingham meeting in 1832, when Ministers were about to resigns from not being able to carry the Reform Bill-a meeting of 100,00 D persons, where a petition and resolutions were agreed to, signed. by Mr. Thomas Atwood, as the Chairman, in which it was, among, other things, agreed that the people of England should arm them-. selves to be prepared against circumstances. That was what in. Ireland would be called a hints He presented that petition to the House of Commons. Why did not the judges declare then that. he was, wills others, guilty of a conspiracy ? Nothing he had ever said in Ireland approached at all to the language of that petition. He had long since adopted the principle that peaceable means, ass they were the only legal, so were they also the only effectual., weapons to use. That petition was printed by order of rhea House; and what did they do to Tom Attwood, who signed it Er' Why, they actually made him a magistrate for the county' of Warwick. That was in 1833, when Lord Brougham was' Chancellor-(Hisses) -and afterwards he was, on the recomrnen-s dation of Lord John Russell, appointed by Lord Cottenham firsts on the list of borough magistrates for Birmingham. This was thee way Mr. Atwood was treated, continued Mr. O'Connell; yet I ant nothing as a conspirator compared with what he was. Doubly', justice of the peace! and long life and prosperity to him. Long may he enjoy the honours his country has conferred on him in. grateful acknowledgment of his services. I wish he was here work-. ing for Us now.—(Cheers.) I repeat it to you, men of Birming., ham, that England is not safe if the law by which I was tried goes? forth and is established. Suppose the Tories had been able toe come in at that time, what would they have done to Mr. Attwood Perhaps even now he may not be protected from their vengeance.; I therefore from this spot at peal to the people of England. V. call on them at this exciting time to arouse themselves on behalf of their liberties—to throw the shield of their protection over their Irish fellow-countrymen. Never yet did the meteor flag of Eng— land beam over the battle field that it was riot sustained by thee, stalwart arms of the Irish. Never yet was the shout of vie— toiy raised on the decks of our gallant navy, but the Irish~: bore a part in:it. We have joined you in the battle and in thek strife, and we are yet ready to join you in the struggle for the pre.. nervation of our civil liberties. 1 say, England, Scotland, and. Ireland for ever ! The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then retired amidst loud and continued cheering, Mr. S. CRAWFORD was then introduced to the meeting by thei Chairman, and proceeded to address them. He recapitulated tow the meeting the various attempts he had made to enforce his views on the House of Commons, and the results. He assured them,; that although he had as yet been unsuccessful, he was not dis.. heartened. The people must crowd the table of the House 00 Commons with petitions, and then, perhaps, by another session, the Members of that House would better understand the feelings of tho people out of doors. The Rev. Mr. IltirroN then moved the thanks of the meeting to Mr. O'Connell and Mr. S. Crawford for their attendance at thiq meeting.
