The RIGHT HONOU RA B LE the COO N TESS of MANSFIELD'S RESIDENCE on RICHMOND-HILL; together with the ex ceedingly VALUABLE CONTENTS, which are accounted UNIQUE in the several Departments of ART and SCIENCES. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the honour to announce that he is directed by the representatives ofthe late RIGHT HONOURABLE THE COUNTESS Oh' MANSFIELD," to.nfitr to unreserved PUBLIC COMPETITION, In the Mansion, Richmond hill, on MONDAY, the 211th of April, and several succeed ing Days, at Twelve far One o'Clnck most punctually, • An exceedingly VALUABLE MELANGE OF PROPERTY, so recherché in the several Departments of the Arts and Sciences, that NOTICE OF DIVIDEND. The Court of Directors hereby give Notice that a HALF-YEARLY DIVIDEND of FOUR PER CENT. (being at the rate of Eight per Cent. per anhum) will be payable to the Proprietors of Old Shares in this Corporation on WEDNESDAY, the 10th day of April next, at their Offices as above, between the hours of Ten and Three ; and that a DIVIDEND at the same rate will likewise then be paid on the first instalment of 10/. upon the New Shares. The Transfer books of the Bank, both for Old and New Shares, WILL BE CLOSED on MONDAY, the 18th instant, and continue so until the Dividend becomes payable.—By order of the Court, "THAT HE NEITHER HAS, NOR DOES HE CONTEM- PLATE, ANY CHANGE WHATEVER IN THE CORN LAWS," that during the ensuing months he will submit to public corn. petition, Estates of great promise, in several of the most favoured counties throughout England, and exceeding its value ONE MILLION POUNDS STERLING. WILLIAM MILLIKEN, Secretary. It may be desirable to observe that, since all doubt and uncer tainty has disappeared, and Mr. R.'s public commentary of last year has been fully confirmed, viz., IT WILL NOT BE QUITE SACRILEGE . to designate it A VERY HUMBLE RIVAL TO STRAWBERRY HILL. There is so much to commend throughout that it will be difficult to avoid injustice in shortening the representation which custom has awarded to such announcements. It will probably be enough to enlist the attention of the scientific world to state that those who were ENRAPTURED at Strawberry hill may, without drawing largely on their kindly feeling, be DELIGHTED at this renowned receptacle of so many and such varied treasures. THE ANCIENT MANSION " THAT THE CORN BILL IS FIXED ON AN IMMOVABLE ROCK OF SAFETY," he may with the greatest confidence endeavour to enlist the early attention of the great capitalists to a more secure and lees doubtful employment in terra firma. The adjustment of the great point at issue has arrived at a great, a triumphant result. It is at length discovered that in the exceedingly intricate task, which required all the mind, the perspicacity, and depth of intellect, possessed by our first Minister, in organising his salutary ahem. tion In the corn•laws, he has dealt out a measure of strict and im partial justice, no less to the manufacturing than the agricultural interest. There is nothing invidious—he has laboured, and sue.. cessfully, to put at rest a very difficult point fairly and honestly; his declaration is too unequivocal to be disregarded, and it should no longer be a matter of doubt to Trustees who have money to invest, and most especially all such as hold Three per Cents., (in fear and trembling, at the unhealthy price of 98), that terra firma, so unnaturally depressed of late years, will combine two points that the most sceptical cannot gainsay—a larger present in come, and a prospective view (whenever the cause which must re duce the public funds to such a fearful extent) of an increase in the exact same proportion In the value of land. Those remarks have for many years operated powerfully on the mind of Mr. Robins, and the cheering declaration of Sir Robert Peel has triumphantly established the bases upon which he confidently submits, to an impartial public, the opinion he has so long maintained. Covent.garden, March, 1844. SALES BY AUCTION FREEHOLDS CLOSE to the PALACE, in the CENTRE of GAIETY and FASHION, in CLEVELAND-SQUARE and CLEVELAND-ROW, PRODUCING ONLY X2OO A YEAR. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed by the Executors of THE COUNT MAZZINOHI, to offer to PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, the 4th of April at Twelve o'Clock, in Two Lots, AVALUABLE FREEHOLD ES/ATE, especially adapted either for Occupation or Investment, most desirably situate in THE PRECINCTS OF THE ROYAL PALACE, immediately in front of THE INTENDED MANSION OF LORD FRANCIS EGERTON, in the vicinity of all the beat Clubs, the Opera, and the Theatres; in fact, its attributes may be summed up in one short sentence—it is the most recherche spot throughout London. No. 4, CLEVELAND-SQUARE, has recently been fitted up by the talented ARTISTE OF THE DOWAtiER QUEEN, or Joseph Gould Esq., one of HER MAJESTY'S ESTABLISHMENT, who has a lease at only iOOl. a year, for 21 years, in consequence ofh is Vast and clever outlay. The accommodation that will be found within coin. prises—two attics, and a commoJite on the third floor; on the second floor, two capital bedchambers, enjoying pleasant vltws ; first floor, two elegant drawing-rooms, opening into each other, 33 feet long, with semi bow windows, bslcoaies, and verandahs ; ground floor, dining parlour and breakfast parlour; and on the basement the usual domestic offices. The home adjoining, No. 8, in Cleveland-row, of which possession may be had, in candour it must be admitted, will be much improved by recurring to the same skill, taste, expense, that has rendered its next door neigh bour so unexceptionable ; and as the tenure is freehold, and possession is arno 4 sst its advantages, it will not be difficult to enter into rivalry with" Its compeer. It contains—on the third floor, two attics ; second floor, two good bedrooms ; first floor, drawing-room, with • oack ditto; ground floor, two good parlours; basement, kitchen, pantry, &c. The drawing-rooms have a pretty PEEP • INTO THE GREEN PARK and from both houses. The abode occupied by Mr. Gould can only be seen, by a ticket from eleven till one, on the three Saturdays antecedent to the sale, The.one adjoining may be viewed, by a ticket, any day after the44th. of March. In conclusion, it is quite certain there Is no situation where Im provement is more visible than in the vicinity of the purchases to which the public are invited.

The whole is freehold, land-tax re deemed, and tithe free. T bis estate will be sold in One Lot. The other portion of the property consists of Freehold Marsh Land, of highly productive. grazing qualities, situate in West and East Ham, and Plaistow-levels, within . five miles of Smithfield, in the counties of Essex and Kent, con. tprising about 160 Acres, which will bo sold in Twelve Lots, offerii ig admirable opportunities for investment or occupation, being divide d into convenient portions, with the view of securing the competition. of graziers, to whom it is highly desirable as accomodation land ; the. parcels of land lying in West Ham and Plaistow-levels, aro stronoy recommended to the special attention of Butchers, and large Horst -keepers, in London, as offering a rare op portunity of securing to ti enaselves one or more portions of land, in a locality which must obviously prove a source of great profit and convenience. The purchasers can have immediate possession ; and they are reminded, w ithutit fear of contradiction, that the rich grazing qualities of the l'undt now to be sold offer competition with any other land in the kizigdom for the superiority of its grazing qualities. Also a highly valuable E state situate at Plaistow, Essex, consist ing of five genteel resitim sets, with gardens, out-houses, and • pre mises ; six cottages, and a bout ten acres of rich upland pasture land, as let on lease for the une: tpircd term of about forty-eight years at the yearly rent of 971.

They are, in fact, TWO CLEAR. GROUND-RENTS OF NINETY POUNDS AND A HUNDRED AND FIVE POUNDS A-YEAR, permanently secured, as they are held for the unexpired term of about eighteen years, at the original ground-rent of 101. a year each, and as far as the amounts go they offer to the small capitalist VERY SATISFACTORY INVESTMENTS.

THE MANOR AND ESI ATES OF LITTLE TAYNTON, FIVE MILES FROM GLOUCESTER, AND TWO FROM, NEWENT, TWO EXCELLENT FREEHOLD FARMS INCLUDING 330 ACRES OF EXCELLENT LAND, IN A RING FENCE, A GREAT PORTION TITHE FREE. 111 R. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL peremptorily at the Auction Mart, on TutlitsDAY, the 18th of April, at Twelve, in Two Lots, A VERY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, and especially all such as desire to invest without any sort of risk. It includes TWO VERY EXCELLENT WELL APPOINTED FREEHOLD FARMS, with suitable Farm-Buildings to each, very desirably situate at Little Taynton, six miles from Mitchell Dean, and only five miles distant from Gloucester, comprehending 330 ACRES OF SUPERIOR LAND, underlet at FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY POUNDS A.YEAR. of which two-thirds is very superior.,Pasture and Feeding Land, in a high state of cultivation, in the occupation of Mr. W. K. Ford, and Mr. Pouting, at very low rents ; they originally PRODUCED SEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR. THE PORT OF GLOUCESTER, It need hardly be remarked, has now become a formidable rival to Bristol, and besides this, the produce of this fine soil is available in less than five hours of the Metropolis of London. THE MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS give consequence to the possessor ; to say nothing of the value of the sporting. By the way, we must not overlook a feature which, in days of yore, was accounted of importance, nothing less than a GOLD MINE. Extract from a description of England and Wales in 1769 :—" It ought not to be omitted, that at Taynton, near Newent, on the northern borders of this forest, a Gold Mine was discovered about the year 1700, of which a lease was granted tosome refiners, who ex tracted some geld from the ore, but had not spirit to fellow it up." Again, in England a Gazetteer, printed in 1790, Is the following : Taynton, Gloucestershire, four miles S. E. from Newent, six from Mitchel-Dean, and seven W. from Gloucester, In 1700, there was an ORE found here, from which the refiners extracted gold." but they also lacked enterprise. Mining and refining is now a much more simple and less expensive operation than it was a century ago. A spirited indivitittal will, in all probability, find this • .. "A MINE OF WEALTH," _ _ _ Cheltenham, the most fashionable watering Place in England, is only a short nde, and Is a capital market, as well as Gloucester, for all the produce. Its exemption from tithe, to a great extent, is an important feature. The Estates may be viewed, with the leave of the tenants, and particulars had at the King's Head, Gloucester; the Royal Hotel, Cheltenham ; of Messrs. Law and Tindall, Solicitors, New.aquare, Lincoln's Inn ; Mr. Bailey, Solicitor, tiloucester ; the Auction Mart ; nd in Covent-garden. IN LINCOLNSHIRE, NEAR TO BOSTON.—IMPORTANT FREEHOLD FARMS, ADMIRABLY SUITED TO TRUE. TEES, WHO WOULD INVES IN PERFECT SAFETY, PRODUCING £2,700 A-YEAR, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE TITHES. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to announce that he is directed by the Devisee, in trust of THE RIGHT HON. LORD MONSON, DECEASED, to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, on Tatrasoar, the 25th of April, at Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, A MOST IMPORTANT LANDED INVESTMENT,- Freehold of Inheritance. and uniting very many substantial advan tages— _ FRITH'S BANK, and EARL'S CROFT ESTATES. • Arc situate within two short miles of THE BOROUGH TOWN OF BOSTON: one of the best markets extant, surrounded by capital roads, and adjoining water carriage to all parts of England. Th e La ndi in this vicinity has, from days of yore, been proverbial for its supe. rior quality ; it grows the best Wheat and Oats, and the Pasture is famed for its capability in fattening Bullocks very quickly, and those • who are at all conversant in the soil of the land will know how to appreciate these importint facts, The whole is occupied by a tenantry of long standing as tenants-at. will; •it will, however, be exceedingly desirable to make in this respect very considerable alterations. The Farms are used in their ancient state, and are infinitely too small. Sound Judg ment will direct that they be divided into five or six, _ instead of the present number; it will then be a matter of kreat facility to provide substantial Yeomen to get rich upon this greatly favoured soil: but Mr. Robins would fail in his duty to the Public if he did;not!state that the Houses and Out-Buildings throughout the Property are greatly in need of repair ; indeed, the suggestion he would venture to make is, to rase them to the ground, and with the materials, and less than £2,000, Three First-rate Abodes, with corresponding farming premises, replace the present • works of antiquity. It should be observed that there is a saving clause to this proposition, inasmuch as Robert Searhy's abode and . buildings need no outlay whatever, and this is the lamest farm. - THE PROPERTY NUMBERS TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIVE ACRES INDEPENDENTLY OF THE TITHES UPON THE ESTATE. THE WHOLE WITHIN A RINC, FENCE, besides the unpretending, but really comfortable little public-house, - known as 1 . the Monson Arms," where s. mine host" Eno knows and practices what belongs to the entertainment and comfort of his friends. The next important point will be to direct a purchaser's judgment to the rental. The clear yearly receipt for years back has been £2,660 a year. The times having varied, Mr. Robins has subjected it to a careful personal survey, and he is not a little pleased toproclaim a very welcome fact, that when the outlay already noticed i s accom. y plished, the property will very r eedit produce, with an unexcep tionable tenantry, frem £2,700 to - TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAH. The division of the soil is very encouraging ; there are 521 acres of capital Grazing Land, 230 acres of excellent Meadow L an d , and 455 acres of soil congenial to Wheat and Oats ; the former rf.elding five and six quarters and the latter from seven to ten quarters per acre.• Now this representation of the Estate cannot be charged with colour. ing the Landscape beyond its deserts ; and it may be weß to remind such as were last year sceptical in respect to the corn-laws, that the agricultural horizon is no longer clouded by doubt or uncertainty— the manly, judicious, and unequivocal declaration of Sir Robert Peel ought to quiet the apprehensions of all those who desire to see the agriculturing and manufacturing interests go quietly ira harness toge ther, without any undue partiality. Indeed, his decla cation is so en couraging, I oannot do better than quote his own words—it will, oc ought to silence scepticism:— " I NEITHER HAVE, NOR DO I CONTEMPLATE ANY CHANGE WHATEVER IN THE CORN.LA WS." To conclude, Trustees, and all persons having their capital depo sited in the funds, will do well to ponder, and to exercise their understanding, and the result must (or ought to be) that Three per Cents. at 98 is a fearfully high and unnatural price as com pared witlaand which will now return a clear income of Three and.. a Half per Cent., with prospective views exceedingly when placed in juxtapusition with the Funds. delightful.

TO THE BENEVOLENT.—A late MEMBER of the DAILY PRESS„ who has for many years contributed to amuse and inform the public, is now compelled to solicit their ASSISTANCE. In the summer of 1841, whilst in the country, reporting the elec tions for the presext Parliament, he was attacked by repeated colds, the weather being unprecedentedly severe and changeable. The result was, the setting in of consumption, which gradually fastened on him, until it became so aggravated, by the very harassing labours attendant on the session of 1842, that, after a long but vain struggle, he was obliged to resign his chief means of support in the summer of that year. In 1843 he was obliged to throw up his minor engage ments, not being able to obtain payment for his labour. Since his retirement, he has gradually become more feeble. He is now barely able to walk. His savings, always kept down by his duty, as the eldest son of a poor family, are nearly exhausted. Ile can no longer earn money—he has no wealthy friends ; perhaps a few generous strangers will come forward and help him. His great desire is to raise as much as would enable him to settle in a mllder climate; or, failing that, to secure the means of procuring those comforts and medical aid which he may require, during tho short remainder of his days, in this country. References may be made to "L. F., SunLoffice, Strand," by whom, also any donation will be thaikfully received. TO CHEMISTS DRUGGISTS.

SzczETART—Mr. Frederick Edgell. The measures now in progress for a Railway communication be tween Chatham and Gravesend, have suggested the expediency of extending the communication to London, by establishing a Steam Ferry from Gravesend to Tilbury, and thence by Railway, joining the Eastern Counties Station at Romford. The traffic already existing between Chatham, Gravesend, and London, is well-known to be very large, and it cannot be doubted that, when the communication with the Metropolis is reduced in time to one hour, the Railway conveyance will obtain a 'decided preference to the river. When to this are added the prospective ad vantages that may be derived from passengers landing at Thames Haven, and the economy of the construction, and the Parliamentary expenses, which have already been paid, the intended line promises a more liberal return than any other at present in contemplation. It is intended to confine the operations for the present to a single line, with jetties; and responsible parties have offered to perform the works to the satisfaction of the Engineers, within eighteen months, and without exceeding the specified capital. About one-fourth of the Shares have been already subscribed for, and it is intended to pay interest half-yearly at five per cent. per aixium on all future payments from the date of payment. The Works will be commenced under the Act of Parliament al ready obtained by the Thames Haven Company, as soon as the capital is subscribed. The following Tabular Statement of the comparative distance, and the time occupied to or from the Metropolis in travelling by the proposed Line, and others projected on the Surrey and Kentish side, will show thq great superiority of the Line described in this Prospectus. i Hm 1 3.5 .-511 t . 4 ' • 7 ; . g • 55'5.

The dinner given to Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P, to show the sympathy of Englishmen with Irishmen, and the admiration entertained in this country for the constant advocate of the rights and privileges of Irishmen for more than forty years, took place at Covent-Garden Theatre last night. The pit of the theatre was boarded over so as to make it on a level with the stage, and five long tables, with two slips occupying the bend of the boxes, making seven tables in all, were spread in that part of the house. There were six cross tables and ten long tables spread on the stage, besides the grand table, at which sat the Chair man, the guest, Mr. O'Connell, and several noble • men and other gentlemen. The stage was fitted-up in the most tasteful manner, with fluted draperies of a pale pink and light blue colour. The Chairman sat in the centre of - the stage. At the back of, and imme diately over the chair, suspended from the ceiling, there was a brilliant illumination of variegated lamps, representing the rose, the thistle, and the shamrock, underneath which appeared, in front of the raised orchestra, the word " O'Connell," in variegated lamps. On the right of the device was the word " Ireland," and on the left the word "Jus tice," also in variegated lamps. At the back of the chair was the retiring-room, over which was the orchestra, containing thirty vocal and instrumental performers, under the direction of Mr. G. Stansbury. The great salle, formed by the boarded pit and the stage, was illuminated by thirty elegant ormolu chandeliers, in addition to the great chandelier suspended from the centre of the theatre andthe smaller chandeliers suspend ed over each box in the dress circle. The stage was , adorned by mirrors at the centre and the sides, which produced a most picturesque and pleasing effect. These arrangements were designed by Mr. J. P. Burnard, and reflect the highest credit on his taste and judg ment; and they were most judiciously carried into effect by Mr. Sloman, the ingenious mechanist to the theatre. The dinner, which was a cold one, was provided by Mr. Rouse, of the White Conduit Tavern, who is entitled to the greatest praise for the excel lence, the variety, and the profusion of the viands which were provided. The wine, too, was of excel lent quality. The boxes were appropriated exclusively to the use of ladies, who were admitted by tickets. To the galleries both ladies and gentlemen were ad mitted as spectators. For many days past tickets, both for the boxes and the dinner, have been at a premium. In order to accommodate the immense number of gentlemen who were desirous of showing their respect to Mr. O'Connell, the Committee had made arrangements for enlarging the area of the theatre, to its utmost possible extent, but the additional room thus afforded, was found to be insufficient, and many hundreds were dis appointed. The same thing occurred with regard to the box and gallery tickets. They were all disposed of some days since ; and we have` heard of high premiums being offered to those who were fortunate enough to possess one, to endeavour to induce them to dispose of it. The arrangements for admission to the theatre were excellent. The entrance for gentlemen with numbered tickets was at the stage-door, in Hart-street ; Peers, and Members of Parliament, were admitted at the private box-door, in Bow-street ; while ladies, with box-tickets, were admitted at the usual box-doors, in Bow-street, and to their exclusive use the box-entrance in Bow-street was appropriated. The doors were opened at half past five, and the theatre was filled in a very few minutes, but so admirable were the arrangements that there was not the least crowding or confusion. Every person admitted had the number of his place marked for his ticket, and was immediately conducted to his place. About 1,080 persons sat down to dinner, and there were 180 waiters to attend upon them. The tables were laid out at five. At half-past five the band entered the orchestra and commenced playing, and they continued performing a series of popular airs until six o'clock, when a flourish of trumpets an nounced the approach of Mr. O'Connell, the Chairman, and the other distinguished guests. Expectation was raised to the most intense pit c h, an d on Mr. O'Connell making his appearance at the left hand door of the proscenium, leading from the green room to the stage, he was greeted with the most rapturous applause ever heard within these walls. The coup d'ceil presented by the appearance of the house was splendid in the extreme. The house was crowded in every part, the boxes being exclusively occupied by ladies. All present rose, the ladies in the boxes waved their handkerchiefs, and were most enthusiastic in their greetings, of the Liberator. The gentlemen cheered most rapturously, and even the reception with which Mr. O'Con nell was greeted at the meeting of the Anti- Corn-law League in this theatre, three weeks since, was less warm than the reception with which he was greeted this evening. ,T. S. Duncombe, Esq., M.P., took the Chair, and was loudly applauded when he made his appearance. The Chairman was supported on his right by the distinguished guest, Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., and on his left by the Earl of Shrewsbury. The following Noblemen and Gentlemen were seated at the principal table : The Lord Camoys, Lord Dunboyne ; the Hon. F. H. Berkeley, M.P.; the Hon. Charles Langdale; Sir H. W. Bulkeley, Bart., M.P.; Sir John Easthope, Bart., M.P.; William Collins, M.P.; Mr. Sergeant Murphy, M.P. ; W. H. Tancred, M.P. ; Henry Met calfe, M.P. ; W. S. Crawford, M.P. ; Wynne Ellis, M.P.; M. J.

Stansbury) having been sung, the company sat down to an excellent dinner. During the time of dinner, the band, led by Mr. Godfrey, performed several popular airs, including many of the most favourite Irish melodies. At the conclusion of the dinner, the grace (by T. Cooke) was sung, after which The C lIA IRMA N rose to propose the first toast. The Honourable Gentleman, on rising, was greeted with enthusiastic cheering. After the cheering had somewhat subsided, he said that when he reflected on the importance of the oc casion on which they were assembled, and when he looked around him and saw the persons distinguished for their abilities, their influence, and their eloquence —(Cheers)—by whom he was surrounded, he felt that those persons had incurred a very great re sponsibility who had ventured to place him in , the situation which he then occupied.---(Cheers.) 'They had incurred a great responsibility, not only to those whom he was addressi n g , but also to their distinguished g uest—(Loud cheers)—for the very imperfect appointment which they had mad e .— (Cheers and cries of " No, no ' ) Those, however, by whom he was surrounded, had kindly promised the aid of their talents and their eloquence, so that on them would devolve the ch arge o f con d uc ti ng the greater portion of the proceedings, and he must rely upon them for that indulgenoZ' which it had been lu s good fortune on man y o th er occa sions to receive f rom th e h an d s o f l a rge bodies of his fellow-countrymen, and which he trusted would not be denied to him that evening, when they considered that the occasion on which they were assembled was one of great national interest. In the discharge of the duty which devolved upon him he had to propose the health of the Sovereign—(Loud cheers)—a Sovereign who, let the faults and delin quencies of her Ministers be what they might—. (Cheers)—held a firmer place in the hearts and affections of her people, whether of England or of Ireland, than any former Sovereign had ever possessed.—(lmmense cheering.) He h a d heard the Prime Minister say , in his place in Parlia ment, that it would be the happiest moment of his life, ifhe could see the Queen of England set her foot on Irish ground, to restore peace to that disturbed land. That speech implied disloyalty to the Irish people. He would ask who was it that prevented the Queen of England from setting her foot on Irish land? Was it the Hon. Gentleman on his right ? (Cheers, and cries of " No.") Was it the Irish people ?—(Cries of " No.") They were a people whose loyalty was proverbial almost to weakness. To insinuate such a thing was the greatest libel against the Irish people that ever was uttered. — (Loud cheers.) It was that faction—(Cheers) —the £ £ s. d.l £ s. d. 18371. .... 39 59 l,OOO 67 s 4 132 14 6 1838 ll4 56 3,000 175 15 0 296 9 7 Another Bonus will be declared in the present zear. DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

SAVORY Goldsmiths, .14, f - x. • Cornhill, London, opposite the Bank, have finished a few splendid Ileces of PLATE, suitable fort resentation to Gentlemen connected with either of the above pursuits or professions, to which they invite the attention of Comnitkees who are in search of valuable testimonials for such occasions. ~% ~~~ y r same faction which Ia 1420—ite - deprived King William of the pleasure cif witnessing the loyalty and of partaking of the hospitality which had been prepared for him by the citizens of London—it was that faction which now deprived the Queen of the plea sure of visiti ng h er I r i s h su bj ects, b ecause t h ose whoseo 'They lreland, ffeared a duty r ed dared t i o tw s attend h e r tfha faces amongst st Queen hre . f E th(eC prlllege there.—(Cheers.) p a t sl n e. d ), nas h t w tsoh themselves owt whose origin, whose language, and whose religion they had so scandalously traduced, maligned, and in sulted.—(lmmense cheers.) They well knew that it had been the intention and wish of the Sovereign to have visited Ireland last year ; but, instead of that, Belgium and France were favoured with her presence, while poor Ireland was neglected.---(Cheers.) To be sure it was a gratifying sight to witness, as he had done last year, the Queen returning to her native shores with the standard of England and the tri•colour of France waving from the same mast and fluttering in the same breeze.—(Loud cheers.) It was a pleasing sight to those who, like himself, thought that those feelings of amity should never be interrupted, which now subsisted be tween the two greatest nations of the world.—(Cheers.) But it would have been a prouder and a happier sight to have seen the Queen of England returning from her visit to her Irish subjects, after having personally witnessed their loyalty and investigated the manifold wrongs and oppressions which they endured.—(Great cheering.) He was satisfied that the result of such a visit must have been the confusion of evil councillors —(Loud cheers)—and amidst the benedictions of her people she would have declared that the union betwixt this country and Ireland should not have been a union in name only—(Cheers)—but that it should be a real union of equal laws, equal rights, and equal privileges.—(lmmense cheering.) The Chairman concluded by proposing the health of " The Queen, and long may she reign over a happy, free, and united people."—(Tremendous cheering.) AIR. God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen: Send her victorious, happy and glorious, Long to reign over us. God save the Queen. 0 Lord our God arise, Scatter her enemies, And make them fall; Confound their politics, Frustrate their kna u vish tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix : God save us all. Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour; Long may she reign. May she defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice, God save the Queen. The CHAIRMAN said the next toast he had to pro pose was the " Heillthof Prince Albert and the Royal Family."—(Cheers.) He was sure that he need not remind them that this toast included all that was dear to the Sovereign, and all that was respected by the people.—(Loud cheers.) It included husbands, and offspring, and parent ; and he had only to mention the name of the Duchess of Kent to ensure for this toast an additional mark of their gratitude and esteem.—(Drank with loud cheers.) JJ'7 - GLEE. Here's a health to the Prince and the Queen! Proclaim it each son of the wave, May their hearts lo ng en t w i ne, lik e t h e oa k an d t h e v i ne, To shelter and cherish the brave. Prosperity smile on their reign, And concord to hallow the scene, While the people rejoice, and exclaim with one voice, Long life to the Prince and the Queen. The CHAIRMAN then gave—" Our brave defenders by land and sea, the Army and Navy." Drank with loud applause. SONG. When Britain first at Heaven's command, Arose from out the azure main, This was the charter of the land, And guardian angels sung this strain : Rule, Britannia, rule the waves, Britons never shall be slaves ! Rule, Britannia, &c. The nations not so blest as thee, Must in their turns to tyrants fall; While thou shalt flourish great and free, The dread and envy of them all ! Rule, Britannia, &c. The Muses, still with freedom found, Shall to thy happy coasts repair; Blest Isle, with matchless beauty crown'd, And manly hearts to guard the fair! Rule, Britannia, &c. The CHAIRMAN said he now rose to propose— " Health and long life to Daniel O'Connell l"—(The toast was received with most immense cheering, the whole audience rising en masse, waving their hand kerchiefs for several minutes. Nothing could sur pass the enthusiasm with which the toast was re ceived, nor have we ever seen it equalled on any similar occasion. Silence having been restored, the Chairman proceeded.) Yes, even at the risk of incurring the displeasure of certain high personages at the Home-office—(Laughter)—he asked them to join with him in wishing health and happiness to this " convicted conspirator"—(Great cheering and laughter)—and he assured them that he felt there was so much of sincerity in those loud and honest acclama tions—there was so much of truly British sympathy in those gallant cheers—of synathy for the chosen representative of Ireland, and through him sympathy for the wrongs of Ireland, that he felt it would be worse than presumption in him, by any lengthened observations, to hope he could induce them to do additional honour to the toast he now proposed to them. But, in justice to them, as well as in justice to the public feeling that he knew ex isted at present in this country—(Loud cheers)—he could not deprive himself of the gratification of as. suring their distinguished guest—(Cheers)—that this sympathy, and this enthusiasm, was not confined to within these walls.— (Loud cheers.) He could assure him, that this building, had it been ten times more spacious, that space would have been insufficient for those who were anxious to come forward, not only to testify their esteem and respect for him as a patriot and a man, but for the purpose of expressing, by their presence, their disgust and indignation—(Applause) —at the persecution, at the injustice, at the treachery - and meanness—(Cheers)--the malignity and vindictiveness which had marked the recent State trials, as they were called, in Ireland— (Cheers)—and of which he and others were attempted to be made the victims. The At torney-General for Ireland—(Hisses and laugh ter)—the first law-officer of the Crown in that country—he, at the onset of the proceedings, pledged himself that he would prove the existence of one of the foulest, and one of the most wicked—(Laughter) —conspiracies that ever endangered the safety of an empire.—(Great laughter.) He would not in sult their understandings by asking them how he succeeded. All England, every honest man in England proclaimed his failure.—(Cheers.) All England despised his attempts, and cried shame upon the Government proceedings.—(Cheers, and cries of " Shame.") It was with much satisfaction that he heard, the other evening, one who had been high in the councils of her:Majesty, a member of the late Go vernment, and leading member of the Opposition at the present moment—he meant Lord John Russell — (Cheers)—it was with great satisfaction that he heard that Noble Lord express his opinion that Mr. O'Connell, had not had a fair trial—(Loud cheers)—and that if he had been tried by an English Judge and an English jury, it was his opinion that ho would have been acquittoa. Wao fie not justified in stating to Mr. O'Connell that he must not judge of the feeling of this country by that which had been testified upon the present occasion, he must not believe that with this evening's proceed ings the enthusiasm would end.—(Great cheering.) No, he might depend upon it they would not remain tongue-tied—(Cheers)—while they saw this pro secution pursuing its accursed way, and not make any attempt to rescue from its tangs that man in whom were centered the hopes and affections of the Irish people.—(Great cheering.) If there was no stronger inducement than their attachment to the impartial administration of justice, he was sure the attempt would be made—(Cheers)--and let him remind them, that that which was Ireland's fate to-day, might be England's to-morrow—(Cheers)---if they quit tly looked on.—(Cries of "No.") If they saw juries packed—if they allowed judges to become mi nisterial partisans—if they allowed the law to be strained—if they allowed public meetings, legally convened, to be put an end to by proclamations—if they allowed the rights of petition to be abrogated by such proceedings—if they allowed it to be pro claimed that the sword and the bayonet were the just remedies—they might depend upon it that the struggles of their ancestors for freedom would be in vain, if their descendants acted with such pu silanimity.—(Cheers.) But had Mr. O'Connell no other claims for their admiration and support ? Had they forgot the Catholic Emancipation measure— (Cheers)—which was his act, and his only? To him the Catholics were indebted for it.—(Great cheering.) To him the Liberal Protestants owed their admira tion. Had they forgot also that to Mr. O'Connell and the Irish Members they were indebted for most valuable assistance in the struggle that took place for the Reform Bill ?—(Cheers.) True it was that the Reform Bill had disappointed—had sadly disappointed—them, but Mr. • O'Connell was Had not not responsible Mr. O'Connell for madei at . ( manyea that.—(lleac, hear.) e ar ) sacri fices for the cause of liberty ?—(lmmense cheer ing.) Had he not devoted his time, his services in his profession, and his fortune, to the cause of the people?—and his services at the present moment were at the command of his country. (Tre mendous cheers.) He (Mr. Duncombe) had heard Mr. O'Connell state to Ministers that if they would bring in measures for the benefit of Ire .
