In Canton and this neighbourhood businest generally is dull, owing in a rt'at degree to the unwillingness of foreign merchants take teas on barter `or their goods, and the equal reluetanco of the Ci - iiiie;e dealers to forego the advan I . 4 gcs of old system. At Shanghai., wh ,- .re the trade Is "nfined chiefly to British manufactures, little is'doing: (4110 parties, in order to effect sales, have been compelled to receive tea in barter at higher prices than those pre ailing at Canton. At Niiigpo there is scarcely any market. At Foo-choo-foo no consul has yet been ap t"ill:ed, and no business consequently been done there o . vs ,'ll"oy, though trade is on a trifling scale compared Canton, matters seczn in a more healthy state than at ik IY o~ ikl Yther of the n ew ports, and the place is gradually r in importance. 25 " Ballast' MANUFACTURES.—CamMs.—Amoy, dlrs. „ t° , 2B ; Canton, 23 to 25 ; Shanghae, 25 per piece ; t il dull, owing to the large stock.

No I.—!fear Chelmsford, in Essex. A journey of a few minutes less than an hour into Essex, by the railway from London, will bring you to a station, where, if you are curious about remarkable ferns and farmers, you may leave the train. Having got out and given your ticket to the officer, go down the winding stair. At the bottom of it you will find yourself beneath one of several archways, each raised upon many pillars, bearing aloft the level railway upun which runs the train you have just left. It is now on its way to Colchester, and you are at Chelmsford. Looking through the pillars you will see passengers going t) and fro, carriages, carts, and waggons also. Before you have emerged into the full glare of day light, you will observe the end of a new row of brick built houses, and on the end of the house nearest you, on a painted sign -board, the words, " Office of the Essex Society for Protection to Agriculture." Should you turn to the right, and proceed to the north and north-west, you will pass many pretty little houses with floral adornments around them ; and you will come to a park of fine old trees and meadow grass, through which, to the left, there is a footpath. Enter and proceed by this footpath. You will in ten minutes reach a small river, over which you will cross by a wooden bridge. You will then proceed by the brink of this river for about fifteen or twenty minutes, if you do not delay. But if you linger and examine the farm land on your left, and the fences that enclose it, and the gaps in the fences, and the weeds in the fields, and all the signs of dilapidation, including the washing away of the road on which you walk by the river—not a rolling, spoliating, reckless river, but a deep, slow, lazy river, which, even in doing mischief, does it in such a lazy style, that you are forced to believe that the road is gnawed away: by the tooth of time, and not by the floods of one year—if you linger to examine such things as these you may, likely enough, take another half hour. And indeed if you do, it will not be the worst spent half hour of your life. You will see that the river has not done its little bits of mischief in recent floods ; no, nor in the floods of recent years. You will, on more intimate acquaintance with it, find it is an old fashioned river that does not like to be put out of its old way, and which never has been interfered with ; for on its banks are those who, not liking to be stir red up, or turned aside themselves, not even for their own good, are averse to troubling even the old river by leading it in a new and more profitable and be coming course. Therefore, on they go ; the water in its course, and the dwellers on its bank in their courses, as the streams of water and the generations of men did even in the days of the kings of the East Saxons. But, having arrived at that junction of roads where the river is to be parted from, you may with pro priety come to a dead halt. Stand still ; think for a while. Here is a tol!-bar, there is a village. Behind you is a farm-house, yard, stable, barns, corn stacks, haystacks, carts, waggons, wheels without waggons, one wheel without its fellow, its fellow lying a hundred yards off, without its ring; its ring keeping company with a piece of a plough, and a piece of a plough lying in the most likely place on all the farm to break a horse's or a cow's legs. Frag ments of implements, and implements separated from the companion implements, present themselves to you in wondrous confusion. You may think it worth while to look round the whole farm-steading and farm fields after this. It is worth while. I will go with you ; I will show you. Look here ! A horsepond and a ditch full of water. "Is the water all of that black colour in Essex ?" you will ask me. " No, it is not ; you saw the river ; the river was only earthy coloured because of the rain." " Why, then is the horsepond and this ditch full of black wa ter ? and that other ditch as well ? and this hole down in the field where the cattle are drinking ? Do the horses drink that black water in the pond ? Why, it has a stench. Ah l how nasty it is !" Nasty ; yes, it has cause to stink and be nasty. It contains the urine of the cattle and the washings of the farmyard dung. You wonder how anybody can give horses and cattle such water to drink ; but it is an old custom to do so, and it would incur trouble and expense to drain the liquids of the yard some were else. You are surprised that the horses should drink this water. Rest assured the horses would choose good water as readily as any human being would; perhaps more so, for their tastes are not viti ated by strong drinks from choice, they only drink polluted water from necessity. You are surprised that a farmer, for his own profit; does not provide his horses and cattle with pure water. But you may be still more surprised that the very i pollution which poisons this water consists of sub stances which make poor soils rich, and rich soils richer still ; consists of substances which are here utterly wasted, and for the draining of which into speedy and utter waste those ditches are made ; con sists of substances thus wasted at the very threshold of the farmer's house, though precious as the guano of Ichaboe, carried to this country by five hundred ships, over latitudes of ocean measuring thousands of miles. But, proceed over the farm. We have little diffi culty in getting through, so far as gaps can serve us ; but those undrained bogs, and broad ditches choked with weedy foulness, let us be careful how we tra verse them, lest we sink. And mind the briers that fill up the wide distance between the old stumpy hedgerows—distances that would produce ten bushels of wheat on each four hundred yards lengthways ; that is to say, if by any possibility one could ever hope to see wheat sown on so rich a soil as this. You are surprised. See you not that wheat is not cultivated here. See you not that, where there was once cultivated land, as we may see by those ridges, there i 3 now grass, and that grass is giving way to rushes and thistles, docks and weedy wastefulness. True this is good land, the best land in Essex for wheat ; but if you went all over Essex, and all Eng land, you would not see wheat so little cared for as here. Now we come to another farm-steading, belonging to the same farmer, and again we see the liquids of the farm-yard running to waste; again we see the solids laid out to dry in the sun, as if it were good that the ammonia should go into the air rather than into the earth. You ask why it is that one farmer should hold so much land, and make such a poor use of it. I will tell you. He holds so much land because he is rich, and can be depended on for the rent better than a poorer tenant can be depended on. He is rich while many other farmers are poor; and he is so because they are poor. His work is not that of toiling at the farm to enable him to pay his rent; it is the "selling up" of other farmers who cannot pay their rents. His desire is not to get a good system of leases introduced, that he and his neighbours may expend capital on their land, and cultivate well. His desire that the present uncertain system of tenure may continue. He thrives by it. He is a land valuer; and each tenant-at-will, moving from farm to farm, year after year, has his stock, and farm, and implements valued ; and he pays the valuer at the rate of six guineas a day and his travelling expenses. Did you not read those papers on the walls ? Ob served you not that sales of growing crops, sales of farm implements, sales of work-horses, sales of household furniture, sales of brewing utensils, and several other sales of farm property, are advertised in at least seven different large bills, in large letters, posted on every side of the highway, and at the arches of the railway, the sales to take place this week, next week, and the next again ; one five miles east, several of them six, and ten, and fifteen miles west ; others north, and three out of the seven with no auction daty to pay ? Have you to be told that "no auction duty " means by warrant of the sheriff ?—that "warrant of the sheriff" means a broken farmer being sold off, and that " broken farmers," when sold off to pay their rents, contribute also to the income of an auctioneer ? And who is the auctioneer? Why, the farmer on whose farm we now stand. And who is he ? No other than the Secretary to the " Essex Society for the Protection of Agriculture," Mr. Robert Baker, of Writtle. You may stare with surprise that this eminent farmer, as you would suppose him to be, who has got a prize of 501. from the Royal Agricultural Society for the best, essay on Essex agriculture, an d who keeps upwards of one thousand acres of the best Essex land in that deplorable condition in which you see it, should be such a very bad practical farmer. But so he is. -e he a grocer, and kept his tea and his coffee in one canister, and sugar in such a place that he could not weigh an ounce of pepper without letting sugar and pepper mingle together; were the coffee, " when newly roasted and ground," put out to the door in an open tray to allow its flavour to escape into the air instead of the flavour being preserved to bring back the customers at another time; were streams of water allowed to run through the sugar hogshead and carry the liquid into the cellar to mingle with the liquors there ; were he to neglect to have the counter repaired when a panel was broken in its front; were he to have beam and scales tumbled over on the floor and covered with verdigris, and the tea-chests standing where each person who assisted in the shop must either step into them or risk breaking a leg by leaping over them ; were he to have his whole shop and stock in such confusion, while he was away from it all the year over five days out of six, who would believe that he was a good grocer, even though he might publish pamphlets on the grocery trade, and argue that all the villagers of Writtle should be constrained to buy such articles at his own prices at his own shop as he had to sell ? Would he not be called a very bad grocer? And is it not beyond all question that competition with another grocer would have at least two good effects ? —that while it gave the villagers of Writtle a better supply of sugar, and coffee, and tea, and spices at a moderate price, it would cause him to mind his own shop and improve his own business. What is here supposed of a grocer, Mr. Baker, of the " Society for Protection to Agriculture," i 5, as a farmer. He may be a very respectable, moral man ; that I know nothing of; nor is it my province to in quire ; but, as an agriculturist, he is one of the most eminent slovens that ever came into distinction. IRELAND. THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, SEPT. 9.—The Conciliation Hall this morn ing presented, within and without, such an appearance as it never yet exhibited since the day upon which it was first opened immediately after the suppression of the Clontarf meeting last year. Between eight and- nine o'clock, large crowds of persons, of whom the great majority were decently -dressed women, assembled around the doors, which after a while were thrown open to the accumulating masses, and instantly that portion of the galleries set apart for the humbler members of the Association, as well as the body of the Hall, was thronged by the densest assemblage which we ever witnessed within any building. The attendance of ladies was not less numerous, and the great pressure which their ardour urged them to inflict upon each other caused some dis tressing scenes around the doors. The whole of the large circular gallery presented nothing to the view but a straggling array of caps, bonnets, ribands, and feathers, whilst a pin could not have been let fall to the ground in any part of the hall, so great was the crowd of the associates. The number of persons of both sexes seeking admission (in effecting which they sometimes did not seem to overlook the utility of physical force) increased as the day alvanced to such a degree, that the whole of the quay, fur a considerable distance, at both sides of the building, was completely blocked up, the doors having been closed against all applicants so early as eleven o'clock, and placards to that effect placed against them. The unfortunate gentlemen of the press were obliged to fight their way up to the barriers, and then submit to be torn through, or carried over the heads of the multitude into the hall, some two hours before the time fixed for the meeting. There was much dissatisfaction evinced that the Conciliation Hall was not twice as big, and great grumbling was heard from in dignant gentlemen and ladies who had brought money from the country, or who shouted declarations through the keyholes to that effect, to soften the rigid janitors, who heard all such statements unmovedly. About one o'clock the smaller leaders of the Associa tion began to arrive, and to force their way up to the platform. Then came the dii majores. First Mr. Steele made his appearance, and was greeted with all kinds of applaudatory noises. Then Mr. Barrett, of the I'ilut, made his bow amid a similar demonstration. Dr. Gray's advent was acknowledged in the same way, and at length, preceded by Messrs. Butler, M.P., Grattan, M.P., and accompanied by Mr. J. O'Connell, M.P. the Hon. Member for Cork advanced to th e f ron t o f th e platform, and took up his usual place, amid such a display of feel ing, and with such rapturous welcome, as may rarely be seen again. One storm of cheers, blessings, yelling, and cries in Irish rose around from every part of the hall, and was echoed by the crowd outside. All the women in the gallery waved their white handkerchiefs (which they seemed to be especially provided with), bonnets, and shawls, with astonishing vigour and perse verance ; whilst the men were equally energetic with their hats, hands, and feet. For nearly ten minutes cheering and applause, which was not surpassed in in tensity either at Tara or Mullaglimast, continued to peal through the hall. Mr. O'Connell acknowledged it by repeatedly bowing around him, kissing his hands to the ladies in the gallery, and placing the crown of his hat on his heart. As he was thus engaged, Mr. Smith O'Brien rushed to the front of the platform, causin g if possible an increase in the clamour, and sei z in g r. O'Connell's hand, shook it vigorously for some moments. Mr. O'Connell then caught Mr. S. O'Brien's hand, and placed it on his heart, whereat the very building trembled and quaked beneath the redoubled cheering and stamping. At last Mr. O'Connell seemed to get tired. He opened his lips again and again to speak, but his words were inaudible, until a number of uplifted hands and voices from the platform stilled the storm. Mr. OtoNNELL was at length heard to say that he claimed it as a privilege to be allowed to move that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of Dublin do take the chair. The LORD MAYOR (who was loudly cheered in doing so) assured the meeting that it was the proudest hour of his life to be called on to preside over them upon the present important and auspicious occasion, and that the distinction was one which he never expected to have ar rived at. He congratulated them and the country on the restoration to liberty of the man to whom they were all indebted, and to whom he (the Lord Mayor) felt espe cially indebted for the high position he held as first ma gistrate of the city, and for the high honour he that day enjoyed of presiding over such a meeting. No man had ever contributed so much to the liberty of the human race as Mr. O'Connell.—(Hear, hear.) Even his enemies admitted that he had given liberty is his own country, and undeserving of it indeed would they be if they did not evince their gratitude for such a benefit. And they did so. The scene which had just taken place—the scene which had taken place on Saturday, when 500,000 of his fellow-countrymen exhibited as much anxiety to look at him as if they had never seen him before—proved that they were grateful ; while he was sure they were esteemed by Mr. O'Connell as in some degree a compen sation for the imprisonment which ho had suffered. On one result springing from the State prosecution he could not avoid congratulating the people of Ireland, for he had no doubt that by that prosecution the system of packing juries in Ireland had got its death-blow.— (Cheers.) Within the memory of man there never had been such a triumph over faction and injustice.—(Cheers.) Mr. T. M. RAY having then presented himself amidst renewed cheering, proceeded to address the meeting, holding in his hand the minute-book of the Association. He assured them it was with the most thrilling delight that he resumed the honourable office of Secretary for Ireland.—(Cheers.) They had had a glorious triumph of justice over iniquity—a miraculous triumph. After the father of his country had been dragged by a species of legal brute force to a felon's dungeon—after the country had been subjected to the turmoil and danger through which she had passed in consequence, there they were again (meaning the ex-traversers) to pursue the same object with increased energy and determination. Often in kis prison had Mr. O'Connell exulted in the faithful conduct of the people of Ireland. It was gratifying to him to find that his spirit was abroad amongst them, and that they had shown implicit obedience to his will. He had heard that amiable gentleman, the Attorney-Gene ral, ridicule the Liberator's boast of being able to drive a coach and six through any Act of Parliament that im peded his progress. The Liberator had at all events proved himself equal to the Attorney-General ; for he had driven the triumphant car of repeal through the legal meshes which that functionary had flung around him.—(Cheers.) He had told the people of Ireland that he would not lead them astray, that he would keep them free from the meshes of the law, and he had kept his word ; for he had come out of prison with his fame as a awyer unsullied. Let them continue to pursue his advice, and to follow his directions, and their final triumph was secure.—(Cheers.) Mr. Ray having then read the minutes of the last day's proceedings, Mr. O'CONNELL moved the admission as a member of the Association of Mr. Somerset Butler, M.P. for Kilkenny, whose family, he observed, was illustrious for its antiquity, its valour, and its love of old Ireland, having bled for her in the field and upon the scaffold. His Hon. Friend was just as ready to live for her—aye, and to die for her too.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. S. O'BRIEN said he had to propose the admission of a member of the Protestant aristocracy of this country —(Cheers)—and he did so with not the less pleasure because many of his connexions were strong Conserva tives. The name he had to introduce was the Hon. George Hely Hutchinson, brother of Lord Donough more.—(Prolonged cheering.) As aProtestant he thanked those Protestant gentlemen who were now enlisting themselves in this great Protestant as well as Catholic, because national, cause. He hoped that the introduc tion into that hall of a number of the aristocracy, was only the commencement of a new era in the history of the country. He knew that there were many men entertaining the loftiest sentiments of devotion towards Ireland, who, from one cause or other, had been pre vented from enlisting in their ranks ; but those impedi ments no longer existed, and he doubted not that the example of Mr. Hutchinson would soon be followed to a great extent. He felt it right to say that there had been no conversion in Mr. Hutchinson's case, for that gentleman had always been an enemy to the anion. Mr. O'Costsma. having seconded the motion, it was agreed to. Mr. H. GRATTAN congratulated the meeting on the accession of such men to that Association, and moved the admission of Captain Mockler, of the county of Meath, an Orangeman, who had been induced by the recent persecution, for such the State trials had been, to come forward and join the ranks of the repealers.—(Cheers.) It was not enough that Peel should vindicate the course he had taken in having instituted those trials — he must atone for the injustice he had done by them. — (Cheers.) They would make no appeal to England or to Englishmen. The liberties of Ireland were at stake, and, thank God, there was a sufficiency of Irish arms and Irish hearts to defend them.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL also seconded this motion, which was agreed to. Mr. S. Butler, M.P., Mr. Hely Hutchinson, and Capt. Mockler, severally returned thanks. The last-named gentleman in doing so said that he had been dismissed from the commission of the peace, which he had held for thirty years in the county of Meath, because ho had declared himself against the union. He had demanded an investigation into his conduct as a magistrate during that period ; the demand was refused, and on a future day be would read the correspondence which took place in reference to it. Mr. O'CototELL, having risen to hand in some money, proceeded to say—As I am upon my legs, I believe I may as well proceed at once to address yeu.—(Loud cheers, which continued for some minutes.) It would be utterly impossible for me to find language adequate to describe the sensations of delight with which I once again address this assembly.—(Renewed cheers.) I had imagined that my voice was to have been suspended at least till the month of May next, but the " merry month of May" has come upon us eight months too soon, and we can now rejoice as merry as May birds.—(Cheers and laughter.) But, seriously speaking, we have the most important reasons for rejoicing. A victory was never yet more worthily won—a triumph was never yet more honestly earned.—(Hear.) We have had a triumph over combination and fcul conspiracy—we have had a triumph over the crime of packing of juries—we have had a triumph of the constitution, and we are therefore entitled to enjoy the pleasure and satisfaction of that triumph. The words of the hymn readily suggest them, selves to our minds in our present position, " Sit taus plena, sit senora, sit jncunda, sit decors, mentis jubilatio." Yes, it is a moment in which the jubilation of the mind should, with proper decorum, but with entire fervour, rejoice hi the flood of our triumph, end in the victory that we have I obtained. I am, as I have stated, utterly unable to de scribe the sensations that overpower my mind. The first thing that comes upon me with all the force of an absolute certainty is, that the repeal must be carried— ! (Cheers)—that nothing can impede the repeal but mis t conduct on our parts—that recent events prove that the repeal is in its progress too awful and too important to ; be retarded by any means but by our own misconduct I alone.— (Cheers.) It is not by man's effort that we have ! achieved this victory over fraud, and conspiracy, a d in • justice. It is not by man's means that so great a change has taken place in one week. Last week everything Iwas triumphant on the part of the prosecutor and the oppre ssor —l ie 113i1 been until then a ll o w e d to enjoy hi s triumph ; but the shout of exultation is now on our side.—(Loud cheers.) No, it was not man who did it. case. \V ew defeatede T re heji ie s iei in every s part of the progress of our everything that we demanded for conducting our defence. Every motion that was made on our part was sure to be negatived by the bench. Every attempt that we made for our defence was coun teracted by the judges. Every right given to us to in sure an acquittal was taken away by the selected jury. —(Loud groans.) We appealed to the House of Lords, but even there we found the same unfivourable auspices. We found seven out of the nine English judges giving the 'most astoundingly absurd opinions that ever wet% pronounced by mortal man ; but they were not the less against us for being absurd.—(Hear, hear.) If I eve) entertained any hope—and really I did nut—it ha:l been long since banished away ; and when the account came to me of the decision in our favour, though the atterneys rushed into my presence, an d one o them did me the honour of embracing me, still, notwith standing that kiss and the words that accompanied it, and with the full knowledge that it was so, or the attor neys would not be:there, yet for a full half hour after wards I did not believe it.—(Cheers.) Yes, I repeat it is not the work of man. It is a blessing bestowed by Providence on the faithful people of Ireland.— (Elea:, hear, and cheers) There is no sup!rstition in repre senting it as the gift of Providence ; no submission in bowing be,fore the throne of God and accepting it as hi: act. I would not introduce such a topic here if it wer• contrary to the principles or doctrine of any religious sect represented here. But it is not. It is the doctrine of the Protestant Church, as well as the Catholic Church, that God interferes with the concerns of man. A- Christians they all believe that ; and the Book of Com mon Prayer contains, in every part, proofs that it is one of the tenets of Protestantism, for it contains prayer, fer fair weather, for rain, and for other variations in the seasons, as well as for every temporal advantage. I cannot, therefore, hurt an individual prejudice by refer ring to this subject ; and I would not do so, if it wer, Possible that any such prejudice could exit. What I have been describing is clearly the doctrine of the Ca tholic Church also. And let us recollect that millions of the faithful people of Ireland had lifted up their hands to God—that the priests of God offered up the hol) sacrifice of the mass—that the holy secluded Sister: of Charity united their prayers with those of the priests at the altars. The Catholics of England joined with us on the occasion. The entire Catholic population of Bel gium offered up similar prayers, and along the shores of the Rhine the same voice of supplication has been heard. Oh yes, it has been heard, and we stand fret before you, thankful to God, and blessing all good men. —(Loud cheers.) It is a glorious triumph, and it is fitting that such a cause should have had such a triumph. For what was 'Ale cause ? There was nothing selfish t individual in ir. There was nothing in it that involved the fortunes of particular persons ; but it was a caust involving the great principles of the British Constitutiot. and the interests of liberty. By that prosecution the Government attempted to prevent peaceable meetings se peaceable persons to petition for the redress of grievances, or, if it did not profess to take away that right altoge ther, it would, if the attempt had proved successful, have left scarcely the shadow of a right remaining. For what was the case made out by the indictment ? It was that great multitudes of persons, assembled together even for a legal and proper purpose, necessarily produced intimi dation, and that we, having so many people together at the meetings which we attended, were guilty of a con• spiracy, because those large assemblages must necessa rily have intimidated those who were opposed to us. It that attempt of the Minister had not tailed the conse quence would be, that the more people you had concur ring with you in the progress of public opinion—and you would not be entitled to alter the law without hav ing a considerable portion of the community with you, for the more you had with you the more would it ap pear were the public convinced of the necessity of the alteration which you advocated— the more criminai would it be for you to look for the alteration or im provement you required.—(Hear, hear.) The onl3 chance which exists of procuring any redress of op pressive grievance arises from the weight of public opinion that was brought to bear upon it, and that chance was to be thus taken away for ever ; for when the popular voice was poor and pitiful it was only sneered at and laughed at, and when it was swelled to be the voice of the people generally—which in our case was the voice of God—every foul means was to be taken to violate the popular right to petition, Is:, rendering it criminal for that popular voice to make it self be heard.—(Hear, hear.) I say, therefore, that ours is a triumph of the holiest and best of causes. It is a triumph without which the throne of the monarch would be insecure. It is to public opinion that Queen Victoria owes her throne. But for it, the family of Sa voy, or of the Stuarts, would still be upon the throne of these realms; and their fate shows that even the monarch himself is not safe from the influence of the populism voice. As the gigantic accession of man to man could not be prevented without the misconduct of the govern ing power, it becomes treason against the safety of the Queen, or her throne, for any Government to attempt preventing the popular mind from being heard. When I come to talk to you presently on the subject of the present Government, I shall be able to demonstrate t you that they did meditate treason to the throne, when they resorted to such an unconstitutional attempt to suppress public opinion.—(Hear, hear.) Well ; but there is also another branch of our triumph that cannot be doubted—it is the vindication of the principle of trial by jury. —(Hear, hear, and cheers.) There is now neg fear that you will have another selected jury ; or, at all events, there will be no precedent for it in our case. Here we had the panel fraudulently constructed —I will not say by whom.—(Hear, hear.) We had the jury list fraudulently diminished—l will not say in whom ; but this I say—if I get the voice of public opi nion to support me, I will be able to ascertain by whom that fraud had been perpetrated.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) The trial by jury was in its purity put an end to, and a packed jury substituted—but we stand here triumphant over those who would substitute a bad principle for a fair tribunal to adjudicate on the lives and the liberties of the Queen's subjects.—(Cheers.) Trial by jury and the right to petition have, then, been triumphant, and we stand here to-day rejoicing in the vindication of botb.—(Cheers.) I rejoice in being one of those to announce to the public and to the world our ,joy on this great triumph achieved in our persons. But it is not for these alone that we should express our gra tulations. Another great cause has also obtained a triumph. What chance, I ask, would the repeal cause have if these proceedings hail been affirmed ?—(Cheers.) It would, to be sure, have some chance from the progress of public opinion ; but now, in our peaceful majesty and tranquil might, united, but determined to violate no law, we remain, without a particle of intimidation, as in our monster meetings, but with a continued and thorough conviction, that repeal is absolutely necessary fur Ire land.—(" Hurrah," and loud cheers, which continued for several minutes.) There is no impediment now in the way of the peaceable and triumphant termination of the repeal movement. There is nothing to prevent us, by keeping ourselves within the law, from meeting, and re solving, and organizing, and fortifying ourselves by the increase of our strength at the registry, and by every other legal means, to bring petitions before the Legisla ture until we make the table of the House of Commons rock beneath the load of the collected complaints of the people of Ireland.—(Cheers.) The constitutional right is free—the guarantee of trial by jury is secured, and will pro tect us, and, standing on one and on the other, I here an nounce that the universal feeling of the Irish people, from the Giant's Causeway to Cape Clear, and from Connemara to the Hill of Howth, is in favour of the great national cause of repeal, and must to any man of common sense and common honesty appear too strong to render any amount of resistance to it permanently successful.— (Cheers.) Well, we have been successful, and, what is better, the success has been achieved on the merits. It has been said, and it will be repeated, th a t the d e cision 'in the House of Lords was a crotchety decision founded on technicalities. It was no such thing. It was a deci sion upon the merits, and I will prove such to be the case to any man in less than three minutes, even though he may not be a lawyer. The sixth and seventh counts charged us with holding public meetings for the purpose of intimidating. These were held by all the judges here, including even Judge Perrin, to be good counts, and the judgment of the Court was given upon them The judges of the Irish Court of Queen's Bench gave their judgment on these counts, declaring that they con tained charges or offences of a most criminal nature. Judge Burton, in passing the sentence of the Court, used the words "on these counts,"in allusion to me expressly, and to the other traversers also, but ho directed himself_ cetl to me in that part of his address. He referred. directly to o these judgese() u n t counts have, without asg an good excopticn, xceoeupnttiso,n: declare d and ee t Englishll the firstasked what he Justice them to be bad counts.—(Hear, hear.) In fixing rgeorrinnt,haessetine tence that was to be imposed, Mr. junior judge of the Court, erasas thought the sentence ought to be. He j s u a d id ge e he r t a h m ou p g t( h m t six months should be the time fixed. criestlte sentence n o c h e , s o lvi l l , d ) was an a n n e d xt he as s k ai e 'd d t w w i o la s t te h a e rs c .f( i L d o er u e d d Judge Burton was then asr u d stie h e is r o e p n i n nio i n t , l and he said one year ; and Chief e a ler was finally asked what he thought the sentence should be, years.—(Oh, oh.) Thus l' iw he o n of j s u a d id ges n a l - s e o re f t o w r o two years' imprison ment, one of them for six months, and one for twelve months. Judge Perrin very properly, on finding that he could not do better, joined with Judge Burton, and the Court then condescended to pass a sentence of 12 months upon me ; but I had as good a right to send them to gaol as they had t o sen d me there.—(Great cheering for some minutes.) Let us now come to the decision of the seven English judges. These wiseacres said, " There are some of the counts good ; the Gth and 7th counts are certainly bad ; but we;will presume that the judges did not intend to fix any sentence on the bad counts." Why, the judgment of the Irish judges had been before the public—they- had been printed, and were in circulation. Every one had read them, every one was reading them. The judgment had been publicly announced, and was in everybody's hands. It was used by counsel at the bar—so that, in point of fact, it Wll f; as clear as the sun at noonday that the judgment had been pronounced against us on the bad counts ; but the seven wiseacres of judges in England presumed otherwise, and , decided against us on that presumption. Their decision is, in fact, founded on a lie.—(" Hear, hear," and cheers.) There is no other way of calling it. They called it is presumption of law. I will not waste so much of my breath :23 to describe it in so roundabout a manner. it was a lie, and I will call it so. It was known to be a lie, and yet the judgment so founded was sought to be sup ported by Lord Lyndhurst and that indescribable wrete.s Broughltn—(Groans)-- on this footing, that the lie was supposed to be true, and that we were to be punished againq the fact, and in contradiction of the rer,o7d itselr; fur the sentence was set forth in the record, " for the of fences aforesaid." That, of course, included all tile offences charged, and, of course, the two bad counts among the rest ; so that the record told the truth, but Loris Brougham and Lyndhurst said it told a lie ; but then, blessed be Heaven ! there were found three men honest enough to speak the truth, and therefore it is that I call upon you to rejoice, be catise judgment has been given in our favour oti the merits, and the technicalities were on the other side.—(" Hear," and cheers.) They attempted to con- Sound truth with a fiction of law or a lie ; but truth and justice, and the r ecor d were w i t h us, and we can make hem a compliment of the lie for their portion.— (Cheers.) And now I am going to make an atonement to a class of public men whom I have often assailed, and who, certainly, in some things deserved to be assailed— naeiely, the Whigs. But, after all, how infinitely supe rior are they to the Tory party. The principle of Tory •sm is doublo. It. takes away as much of public right from each individual as it can, and it amalgamates all ogether f;r the benefit of the aristocracy ; but where . l'oryisin is mo s t t err ifi c , i s i n i ts anx i ety to d o t h e g reat mjtistice of putting partisans on the bench of justice. i'he opinion forc•el upon us from history is, that in 99 !ass out of 100, the most prejudiced men had b?en made turiao cotarty untry rt g eirt e 3l : 9 strbitp:3,r approaching ap - I rb party, it tr ,f y ytTears w and n h d a though seenugh in England, little of h u e ry be is n m eh r , e u m -e ai a n l e l d k i n n o f l i v ill tl l t i a fe t .— in Hear, hear.) I ask you, if the support that I gave the Whigs could have been effective for one year more, whe ,her a very different state of things would not now be ebs?rvable on the bench in this country ? Should we tot have Chief Baron Brady at this moment the Chief fusice of the Queen's Beech, with Mr. Pigot the Chief iliron, and Mr. Moore and Mr. Monaghan in the room )1 . Jacks in and 'Afro) ?—(Hear.) Nov, I ask any mart rho might be inclined to blame me for having supported the Whigs, whether he thinks, if Chief Baron Brady had ice's the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, would we lave ever heard of this prosecution ?—(Loud cries of Heir, hear.") I am satisfied that we never should lave heard of this prosecution if we had had Mr. Monaghan, Mr. Moore, and Mr. Hatchell sitting on the tench, instead of the Littons, the Lefroys, and the faeksons, with the present Chief Baron of the Exchequer occupying the station; now tilled by Chief . Justice rennefather.—(Cries of '• Hear, hear.") You have this distinction, that the Whigs gave good judges ; whereas the Tories were anxious to give partisan iudges in former times.—(ilear, hear.) I was for this eeason anxious to support the Whigs, but I never gave _hem a vote inconsistent with my public principle. I left' the Tory press of England to point out one single instance in which I gave a vote incon s i s t ent w i t h pu bli c mineipl... All I did was to attend at my place in the ,louse to assist in creating a majority by my vote in cases not inconsistent with public principle, and I now •ender my gratitude to them for the judges that have 'seen appointed by them. They made Lord Cottenham Lord Chancellor.—(Loud cheers.) I was going to say hat there never was so good a judge, but I never can orget, in his cold grave, my lamented friend, the in meiparable Sir Michael O'Leghlen. But a better judge than Lord Cottenhara never existed. He was like Brady n this, that he possessed the same fulness of judicial. piality, though he might not have had the power of Flunket as an advocate. B.t, oh, how superior has either one or other of them been to him as judges ! (Hear.) Next to him I place the Lord Chief Justice of the Que.en's:Bench in England—Lord Denman.—(Great cheering for some minutes.) There have been many ;rest men from time to time on the English bench, but rho among them has shown himself what Denman has ? He talked of this trial by jury, and said if a similar course were continued, that trial by jury in Ire land would become a mockery, a delusion, and a snare —(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Take that, Mr. Attorney- General Smith. Read that, Mr. Chief Justice Penne father. Write that on a slip of paper, and use it as a mark in your Prayer-book, Mr. Justice Crampton.— (Hear and laughter.) The Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench in England pronounced a repetition of the course sanctioned by you to be a delusion, a mockery, and a snare.—(Hear.) We are come to great times—we are come to times when, if a similar course to that taken to insure a verdict against us be again acted upon, it must be regarded as " a mockery, a delusion, and a snare."—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) And, oh, how thank the Chief Justice of England for the words! Next to him is a nobleman who has been at the head of his profession for years. Lord Campbell told me that on his visit to Ireland as Lord Chancellor, he had not been more than a week in this country before his heart be came thoroughly Irish, and thank Heaven his shrewd Scotch head remains to guide it, and his recent conduct does honour to both by the manliness with which he trampled under foot the attempt at argument which was made by the opposing party.—(Cheers.) We owe a debt of gratitude to the Whigs for such appointments, and it will be hard to get me to abuse them again.— (Laughter.) We owe them that debt for the principle by which they have been actuated in their selection of judges, and if they had selected bad judges they would find me assailing them as readily as I now tender them my praise.—(Hear, hear.) Lord Denman had been labouring for many years as a bar rister in the Queen's Bench, and if the Tories had con inued in power, he never would have been a judge to the present hour.—(Hear.; Lord Cottenham would aever have been a judge, and Lord Campbell would !lever have been elevated to the bench. It as owing to the exclusion of the Tories for a time from power ehat we have acquired the glory, the honour, and I will add, the security of the administration of justice, arising from having such distinguished personages on the bench. [ confess we should be also grateful to another quarter to which lam anxious that justice should be done ; for, though I attribute our delivery to Providence, still it should be remembered that Providence acts in all its decrees by means of agents, and therefore I do not con sider that I speak inconsistently with the gratitude which I have expressed to Heaven for our deliverence, when I acknowledge that we are deeply indebted to the exertion's of the Morning Chronicle.—(Hear, hear.) For this, again, we have to thank the Whigs, as it is the great organ of their party, following honest principles with consistency and powerful ability.—(Hear.) Never in die entire history of England has there occurred such another instance of a public journal exposing with such clearness, with such talent, with such energy, and with such perseverance, and I will add, with such effect and utility, any public injustice, as that afforded by the Morning Chronicle, in the manner in which it showed forth to the world the defects of the judg ment in the State trial, and the various iniquities by which every step of the prosecution had been marked. I am glad to have this opportunity of paying a just tri bute of gratitude and respect to the conductors of that excellent journal. While the Tory press of England laboured to distort everything that could be made of use to injure the cause of the traversers, and to throw an unjust and unfavourable colouring over their case, the Horning Chronicle, day after day, persevered in bring ing forward arguments and facts that served to place their cause in a proper and favourable light before the public., and in publishing statements and suggestions valuable for their defence. Even if we had been de feated in our application for justice, it would have been , some atonement and gratification to us, to think that we had so valuable and able an advocate • and now, in the hour of our triumph, the Morning Chronicle ought not to be forgotten, but ought to receive as it so well merits, our loudest and most animated cheers.—(" Hear, hear," and loud cheers.) I have but one remark more to make, and that relates to an excellent friend of mine, who, I think, has been spoken of a little too bard. I allude to . may beloved friend, Richard Sheil.—(Hear.) I confess I was angry at his asking a request for m e from 1 el h th a a v t e l k o n ok os ed n lmikeehdetrteerqutihrainngto think a he ought t. a o u ld possibly re ceive anything having the appea rance of a boon front such hands. No, I would rather have rotted in t he . gaol than owe my liberation to the pretended clemency ta in vo k u P could of Peel.—(Cheers.) From this spot I told you, before • entering the prison, that there should be no compromise or shrinking, and there has been none.—(Renewed cheering.) The entire of us would perish in gaol rather . than receive as a favour the slightest concession from . the present Ministers.—(Cheers.) My friend Richard Shen was wrong in that, but he is one of those men who can afford to be once wrong in their lives. Hi s country owes him a deep debt of g ratitude. He omit h• mented and made inte restin g by his eloquenc e th e s t r uggle for emancipation. When I was going on with i • my dull speeches , wearying the public mind with my tiresome repetitions, Richard Sheil burst upon the public view with the brilliancy of some sudden and refulgent , star, by the corruscations of his genius, and the majestic . ebullitions of his powerful mind.—(Loud cheers.) But in the very speech for which he is blamed, Mr. Shell elicited from Sir R. Peel a statement which must damn him in the minds of every honest man, namely, the assertion that we had had a fair trial. That asser tion is, as I shall show you presently, worth much, anti from this spot I th an k M r. Sheil for having drawn it . forth.—(Hear, hear.)Well, of e as t t we our e h as az hs;ctcheeedpedra, prayer that, too, upon the merits , and merits of faithful Christians—as we have boasted of our success, not as anything of our own, but as an act . of that Power who regulates nations—let us next see, how we are to conduct ourselves on the present occasion. It is of the utmost importance that we should act dis- creetly—it is absolutely necessary that we should act firmly. 'We ought to act in the full spirit of conciliation. --(hear, hear.)

But, how duty, asking those who absent the mselves from us, to look to the manner in which we ha ve acted up to this period.

PARSONS AIVDTVIDOWS. 3 Vols. album, London, 1844. These volumes are from the pen of the author of "Peter Priggins"— a tale which was very favourably received by the reading portion of the public, when it made its appearance from time to time in the pages of the New Monthly Magazine. Like that amusing story, the Ivork before us abounds in touches of genuine humour, occasionally exaggerated, but pro ducing laughter even in its broadest extravagance. The author belongs to the school of the late Theodore Hcok, and eschewing anything like maudlin senti mentality, trusts for effects to the promptings of a healthy, cordial nature. His clergymen are pour trayed with considerable vigour and truth of de lineation, and though he is less successful in his female sketches, yet one or two of his widows will amuse by the skilful and graphic manner in which their peculiarities are hit off. We have been pleased with the naivete of the subjoined remark, which occurs in one of the introductory chapters : " Parsons are proverbially great populators of their country. The preventive check has not yet found its way into the parsonages of Great Britain ; and in spite of all the political economists that ever lived, I trust the day may be very far distant that shall see such an unnatural engine introduced into the prolific walls of our manses." IHE BOWYER GALLERY. HEPTAPR2EMION. Who has not heard of the celebrated Bowyer col lection of pictures—a collection which it was the labour of a life to form, and in the formation of which a princely fortune was expended? We were highly delighted yesterday by viewing this admirable collection at the splendid gallery of Mrs. Parkes, 22, Golden-square, where they will remain on view until their final disposal by drawing, after the Art Union plan, on the 30th of this month. As every seventh ticket is a prize, the somewhat fanciful name of " Heptaprwmion" has been given to the scheme. •In the meantime we would advise all lovers of art to embrace the opportunity of inspecting the collec tion before it is finally brok en up. Among the works are many pictures of a high historical in terest—we may mention the Coronation of George IV., the Trial of Queen Caroline, the House of Commons receiving a Message, in all of which every figure is a portrait as examples. There is also a magnificent picture by Charles Landseer—" The Death of Douglas at the battle of Langsyde"—which is valued at 500 guineas ; and several exquisite speci mens from the easels of Turner, Stanfield, Hayter, Stephanoff, Collins, Leslie, and almost all the modern artists of eminence. The collection of engravings is also most beautiful, and according to th e A r t U n i on plan, every holder of a ticket is entitled to an engrav ing. The collection is open gratis to the public. The rooms have every day been crowded to excess. CROSBY HALL. MISS CLARA SEYTON'S LECTURE ON ENGLISH COMIC _ OPERA. Miss Clara Seyton delivered, for the first time, her new entertainment on English comic opera, on Tues day evening, at Crosby Hall. This new lecture, like her former one on comedy, is distinguished by its accuracy, its research, and the delicacy and discrimi nation of its criticism. It embodies an immense mass of useful information in a small compass, and is copiously illustrated by anecdote and song. As a literary composition it reflects the highest credit on this very talented young lady, and as an effort of memory it is perfectly marvellous. The lecture occupies about two hours in its delivery, and she recited the whole of it without having recourse to a single note. After giving a rapid sketch of the history of music, and of English opera in particular, up to the time of Handel, she dwelt somewhat at length on the compositions of that divine master, and gave as a specimen, " Heart, thou seat of soft delight," from the Acis and Galatea. Her next illustration was " Can love be controlled by advice," from the Beggar's Opera, and after relating several most amusing anecdotes connected with the production of that opera, she sang " C ease your funning" In ex cellent style, and was encored. After paying an ele gant and well merit e d t r ib u t e o f eulogy to Bishop Percy, who was the first to revive a taste for genuine English poetry in an age corrupted and spoiled by the imitators of Pope, and who may be considered as the literary parent of Walter Scott, she gave us the exquisite old ballad, " Oh, Nanny," as a specimen of Percy's poetical powers. This ballad was certainly the gem of the evening—nothing could into this exquisite old a i r —th ere was no attempt a t t exceed he introduction g of misplaced ornament for the mere sake of display—all was simple, all was beautiful Since the days of Miss Stephens we have never heard any of our delightful old English ballads so exqui sitely given. This part concluded with the song of the Country Wedding," composed expressly for the fair lecturer by Mr. Masters, and which was given with a degree of espieglerie, which told admirably. The second part commenced with a rapid review of whomtsye e oovu e h r B s eb t de l ooartnuyhdt the 1 lion-hearted haYeof the ancient minstrels, among Lad le fair," in was not forgotten, and his song, the song g c b ap y tiv w i h t3 ic ., h w h as e the illustration. The words have been preserved by Dr. Burney ; the air has unfortunately been lost. Miss Seyton sang the words to a very expressive and beau tiful air, composed for the occasion by Tom Cooke, in which she accompanied herself on the harp. She then gave a history of the Court Masques, the original of the English Opera, which was brought to perfec tion by Arne, as a specimen of whose style she gave us " Pray Goody,. in which she was rapturously en cored. "Lullaby," which was also encored, was given as a specimen of the compositions of one who, had he lived, would have fo un d e d a sc h oo l o f English opera worthy of the character of England Stephen Storace. "Love a mong the Roses,' by Doyle, and "I once was a maiden; by Jackson, of Exeter, were given as illustration s of The Lord of the Manor, one of our best comic operas, on the author of which, General Burgoyne, Miss Seyton passed a high and merited eulogium for his literary talents, which have scarcely had that justice rendered to them which they deserve. His military failures have been chronicled, whilst his literary triumphs —more worthy of being held in remembrance —have been forgotten. He was one of the most accomplished men of his day, and his works are those of a gentleman and a scholar. His Lord of th e Manor is one of the pleasantest of our ballad operas ; and his Heiress is the best of our sentimen tal comedies. How comes it that this delightful co medy has never been revived ? After some interesting anecdotes of Sheridan and the Linleys, the lecturer concluded with a sketch of the c areer of Charles Dib den, the beautiful old song, " Wapping Old Stairs," being given as the finale. This i s a mos t difficult song for a lady to sing —it is literally steering be tween Sylla and Charybdis—for if the.singer seeks on the one hand to avoid maudlin sentimentality, there is danger on the other of degenerating into vulgarity. If, however, t h e happy medium is hit, " Wapping Old Stairs" is one of the most beautiful, one of the most truly poetical, of nautical ballads, and such was the case last evening. *hiss Seyton exhibited exquisite taste and great judgment and discrimination in her manner of giving this beau tiful ballad, and was rapturously applauded. At the conclusion bouquets were showered upon her from all parts of the room, which was crowded to excess, not a unoccupied. single seat being Theaccounts Hull of papers g i ve encourag i ng shipping interest. PARSONS AND WIDOWS , BY TIIE AUTH OR OF " P ETER to PRIGGINS."—We would not forego the enjoym en t o f three volumes from our faceti ous friend PeterPriggins— thaen prosperity Gatesheadspry f the no, not even for an unlimited draught from thatdelicious claret cup, the concoction of which he so eloquently de scribes in one of his chapters. Peter's good humour is unfailing, and his wit, like the bright bubbles in a glass of champagne, rises creaming and sparkling to the sur face of his subject. In the volumes before us he has taken fur his models two classes of persons in society, who have by common prescription been devoted to the shafts of ridicule, namely, Parsons and Widows, and has illustrated, in a series of episodes full of deep obser vation and overflowing with kindly and truly Christian feeling, the characters of several individuals in both these stations or states of life. As a whole, we can re commend " Parscni and Widows" as the most gosially cheerful, the most observant, and the most right minded w&rk of fiction (if fiction it can be to seem so truth-like) that has fallen into our hands for a long while.—Sunday Times. A respectable woman, of the department of the Vaucluse, being found in a copse wood carrying a gun, was brought a few days ago before the Correctional Tribunal of Avignon, upon a charge of breaking the game-laws. Although she urged in her defence that she merely followed her husband, who went out to catch a rabbit, and that she carried the gun - for him, without having any idea of firing it, the Court fined her 16f.
