On Wednesday morning, Mr. O'Connell arrived with a party of gentlemen who had proceeded from Hull to Brigg to meet him, at Barton Waterside to breakfast, and imme diately after crossed over the ferry to Hessle, where he was met by Colonel Thompson and other friends. The cheers along the road as the carriage drove up were most enthu siastic. At the Old Jail Yard a spacious and most conve nient covered hustings was erected from which Mr. O'Con nell was to address the people. The number of persons present could not be less than 8,000. Colonel THOMPSON came in front of the hustings, and, after the loud cheers with which he was greeted had sub sided, he said—l come to bring you the representative of that country we all know—that we all love—little Ireland. —(Cheers.) You are men whose practice it has not been to stay at home ; you have seen the world ; there is not a corner of it where a Hull man will not to be found. Did you ever see Ireland desert you ?—(" No," and cheers.) And that being the case will you desert Ireland ?—(Cheers.) Let me put to you a case. Here are twenty-millions of us, English and Scotch, and seven millions of Irishmen. [Mr. O'Connell, " Eight millions."] Yet they would per suade us to make those seven millions our enemies instead of friends, and so draw seven backwards and twenty for wards. Is that wisdom ? Have we not more knowledge as Yorkshiremen than to talk of doing that ?—(Cheers.) You know perfectly well that I am sprung from the new re ligion. I come from that sect called Methodists. Let me beg of you that there may be religious peace in this coun try ; can we gain anything by being at war with each other ? If you ever loved me give a long cheer for Ireland's repre sentative when he shows himself.—(Enthusiastic and con tinued cheering.) I now do the best thing I ever did in my life—introduce the firmest friend of civil and religious liberty—the friend of all liberty—to my townspeople of Hull.—(Continued cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL then came forward, and was received with general and most hearty cheers. He said, this is the first time that, in the course of my variegated life, I have had the honour to address a meeting of Yorkshiremen. I don't know how you like the Irish accent—(Laughter)— but I like the honest tone of Yorkshiremen exceedingly, and I have good right to like it, for Yorkshire gave birth to, and sends to Parliament, an excellent friend to Ireland, Lord Morpeth—(Cheers)—and Yorkshire gave birth to another man who is a benefactor of Ireland, Lord Mul grave, our Lord Lieutenant.—(Cheers.) I feel for York shiremen as my brothers, and I feel a deep debt of gratitude to the inhabitants of Hull especially, for the honest men they have sent to fight the battle of England and Ireland in Parliament—(Loud cheers) —for your honest and talented Representatives. I am a Radical Reformer.--(Cheers.) lam a true Reformer. Wherever an abuse exists lam for pulling it out gently and .getting rid of it. I am for short Parliaments_; because short accounts make long friends.—(Cheers and laughter.) I am for the vote by ballot ; because when a man votes by ballot the vote is his own. I am for universal suffrage ; I do not know why there should be a distinction between one Englishman and another; they are all equal in the sight of God. They are born in the same naked infancy, and go out of the world in the same naked inanity. While I respect the gradations of society, I insist that every man who bears the mark of character in a moral light, shall be equal to his fellow-man.—(Cheers.) I have been in Parliament seven years—l have now served my apprenticeship to it. We keep bad hours there, and some times bad company into the bargain, which is still worse.— (Laughter.) Now that I am getting out of my time, I come and ask my masters, the people in every part of the British empire—is there one vote of mine that went to increase the burdens, or to diminish the franchise of the people of Eng land, Ireland, or Scotland, I care not, which ?—(No, and cheers.) Never. These are my claims to be heard, and what do I want to be heard for ? To combine all the Re formers of Great Britain in one phalanx—to combine and rally round his Majesty's Ministers—to combine for the se curity of the Throne—but, above all, for the good of the people—(Cheers)—for God forbid that any Throne should ever be secure which is not based upon the good of the people. lam for going on securely and safely, so that none of the Institutions of this country shall be violated or out raged, but that England shall arrive at that level of perfect and rational freedom, exemption from 'burdens, and cheap administration of law and goverhment that may place her again, where in every page of the history of the world she has ever been, first among the nations of the earth, and really the envy and admiration of the created world.—(Cheers.) What flag that ever waved over the sea dared to meet the meteor flag of England in equal battle, or the moss . , fearful odds? What army ever met embattled England upon an equality, that England did not triumph and the enemy shrink from her ? The meteor flag of England has waved triumphant for one thousand years—and remember, my friends, that the shout of victory was never raised from British decks, and that the flag of England was never carried forward _ J, puu in the midst of battle, that the commingling blood of Ire land did not mix in the stream that floated the ark of British glory to victory. lam going upon a mission—l am ap pealing to Englishmen. My friend Colonel Thompson said you are 20 millions and we are seven—l must beg his pardon, and put another to it—we are eight millions. See how the English Reformers have gained by joining together. Let me tell you, men of Hull, that be who says the Whigs and Radicals ought to differ is not a sensible man, though he may be an honest one. The Whigs are going on well — a sort of " Very well I thank you"—(Laughter)—not so far as us Radicals wish, but they are going on safely ; and I ask every honest Radical like myself to assist me in keeping the Tories out of power for 12 months, and by that time every honest Tory will have become a Reformer, and we shall be united for the abolition of every unjust tax, and for every desirable change. Well, then, men of Hull, why should not I appeal for Ireland ? What do 1 want? I tell you ; I want JUSTICE.—(Cheers.) Is there any man would hold up his hand against justice for Ireland ?. Is there any WILL hold up his hand for justice to Ireland ? —(Here, so far as could be seen, every hand in the vast assembly was uplifted, and loud cheers followed the ener getic appeal of Mr. O'Connell.) Why, I believe in that cause you seem to have five or six hands a piece.— (Laughter.) Well, from my heart I thank you. I will have justice for Ireland—l want the people of England to join me, that the House of Lords shall give justice to Ireland —the House of , Commons are ready to concede it.— (Hear, hear.) Four great measures are now passing or have passed the House of Commons—they tell me the Lords are to prevent them—why should you let them do that ? True, you have not direct controul over them yet, —I hop& the time will come when they will be elected as the Commons are-4 Loud cheering)- - for that is common sense, and it is an article that always thrives in England.— (Cheers and laughter.) I need not enter into the details of the measures to which I have alluded. I will mention one. One relates to a subject which cannot be approached but with reverence, and should be touched with extreme delicacy—it relates to religion—it is the Bill to apply the surplus revenues of the Protestant Church in Ireland to education. No subject has had greater falsehood and ca lumny cast upon it, or been more misrepresented than that. It is said we Catholics want an ascendancy of our own. I tell you what, and I speak in the presence of that God who will judge me for an eternity of weal or woe—l not only do not want it ; but if you were fools enough to give it me, I would not take it. There is the Bill for Municipal Re form. Now mark me, my friends, Scotland has got Mu nicipal Reform ; I am delighted at it. England has got Municipal Reform. I delight from my heart that she has. What do they say? They wont give it to Ireland. I ask you Englishmen is that just ?—(Shame.) I tell you this— we Irishmen are men like you—we want to be your bro thers—we deserve to be no less—and we wont bear it either. —Now, my friends, is it not delightful to see such a Par liament as we at present have—every man must admit that the majority of the House of Commons have no object in view %but to do all the good they possibly can to the people.—(Cheers.) Hence is the Municipal Reform and the creation of Magistrates—l should think you have as good a set of Magistrates now as before.—(" No" and " Yes.") I believe in other towns they are a good deal better since the Municipal Reform Bill. We are struggling every clay to diminish the load of taxation, and if th e pre sent government stands two years longer, I have no doubt we shall reduce it in such a way that we shall begin to live to see the day when the Tory debt, that hangs over this country as an incubus, taking from Englishmen more money than ever was given to a Government since the world was created—we will see that diminished, and live to hail the day when the patriotic spirit shall triumph in England as in America—when direct taxation shall totally cease—when the poor shall cease to pay anything to the state, leaving to the rich the burden of taxation. For that we are struggling, and for that you have se nt t wo honest men. How I thank you for havini , done it. When I saw your industry and ac tivity—when I came into your town and saw this forest of shipping—l remembered that there are splendid harbours 5 throno-e in number along the coast of Ireland—we have some of the first harbours in the world, accessible at every hour of every tide, sheltered from every wind that blows, open to the mighty Atlantic, without a sunken rock or any danger— fitted in every way for commerce. When I saw that forest of masts, I said to Colonel Thompson, by me—" They ask me what we want for Ireland. I tell yoe : I want to see our harbours with such a forest of masts as you have in the port of Hull." Will that do harm to Hull? No, because the more commerce there is in one place, the more there will be in another—the carrying on commerce with facility and dispatch causes its augmentation. It is like a country man of mine who fell in love with a young lady who had a large fortune. He said, " I'll increase her fortune by shar intgtibtaltviktiilnah.er."T—h(eLraeup:rt of the Poor am for an augmentation e beggars I is ju s t published. It states there arc five h undred thou sand h in Ireland . —{Strong sensation.) Every six teenth haman being is a person destitute of property. I should be base indeed if•l d►d not throw myself upon the generosity of the people of England to assist me to elevate the people of Ireland to their natural state.—(Loud and long-continued cheering.) Ay, that is an honest English shout. There is a spirit in that voice which glads (Rapturous cheering and waving of hats, which continued some time.) Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by Colonel Thompson and several friends, then left the ground, and were escorted on foot to the Kingston Hotel by a very large concourse of people. DINNER TO THE MEMBERS FOR THE BOROUGH. (Abridged from the Hull Advertiser of Friday) The dinner announced to be given to the excellent and patriotic Members for this borough, took place in the Public Rooms, on Wednesday, and proved one of the greatest treats and highest triumphs which the Reformers in this part of the country have ever experienced. We believe that there never was so numerous or more respect able a political dinner given in this town. Shortly before five o'clock the Mayor of the borough (J. C. Parker, Esq.), took the chair, having on his right W. Hutt, Esq., M. p,, D. O'Connell, Esq., M.P., John Grimston, Esq., (of Nes wick), Jos. Sykes, Esq., (of Kirkella), Richard Sykes, Esq., &c. &c. ; on his left were Col. Thompson, M.P., J o h n Gully, Esq., M.P., C. F. Barkley, Esq. (the liberal candi date for York), the Hon. Mr. Stapleton, &c. Among th e company we observed the Master Cutler of Sheffield, seve ral Reformers from Holderness, Beverley, North Lincoln- shire, Bradford, Dewsbury, Pontefract, &c. Mr. Gresham and Mr. John Lovitt officiated as Vice-Presidents. The number of persons who sat down to dinner was about 430. The cloth being removed, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of our good and gracious King. Long life and happiness to him ; and may he reign in the affections of his subjects, loving and be loved." The toast was received with three times three hearty cheers, followed by loud applause—the organ playing " God save the King." " The Queen." This toast was received in respectful silence. " The Princess Victoria, and the rest of the Royal Family." The mention of the name of the Princess was received with thunders of applause, and her health was most enthusiastically drank with full honours. Air— " Rule Britannia." The CHAIRMAN, in naming the -next toast, " His Ma jesty's Ministers," was unable for some time to proceed, on account of the repeated plaudits. The toast was drank with three times three, and repeated rounds of applause. The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, I have pleasure in pro posing to you " The Healths of Mr. Hutt and Colonel Thompson, our worthy Representatives." Three times three cheers, and one cheer more. Mr. HUTT rose. I cannot cast my eye around this splen did room, and see on my left hand the Mayor—the free chosen Mayor.—(A burst of loud cheering, which pre vented our hearing the remainder of the sentence). I can not now recognise in this room, I believe I may say, al most all the municipal and magisterial authorities of this town—(Continued cheering)—l cannot contemplate this scene without a feeling of exultation in the remembrance of the vast strides which good government has made amongst us since I last had the honour of addressing you. —(Loud cheers.) Gentleman, we all, lam sure, remem ber the frantic denunciations which the Tory party dealt out to the people of Great Britain and of Ireland, when Lord Grey first introduced the Reform Bill. This is the fourth year since the Reform Bill passed, and where is the revolution? Gentlemen, you and I are well aware that in this country it would be a very easy thing to do a vast deal of mischief, but I trust that in the course we have adopted we have pointed out not the path to mischief, but the means of escape from it.—(Cheers.) Before the Parlia ment shall be again released from its duties and its la bours, two questions must be decided by it of the great est possible importance, not merely to the Ministers who have once before submitted them to its decision, but to the people of Ireland, and I will say to civilized man in every kingdom of the globe.—(Loud cheers.) These questions perhaps appear to have no immediate connection —the Irish Municipal Bill and the Bill for the settlement of the Irish tithes ; but, Gentlemen, I tell you that both of these Bills involve the same question—whether Ireland is to be treated as an integral portion of the united kingdom, possessing the same right with England and Scotland to just government, or whether it is to be handed over to an intolerant faCtion, to be kept in subjection under its feet as long as the English inhabitants will keep it there. I say let us not go to sleep at our posts. Now is the great time for the exertions of the people of England. I rejoice at the prospect of such a meeting as this—it delights my heart to see assembled here Reformers of every shade, who are determined to:forget their little differences, and stand up as one man against the common enemy.—(Loud cheers.) Yes, gentlemen, they know their enemy—they stand up for them selves—for their own rights—and I am sure that if meet ings such as this could be assembled in all the large towns of this empire, that the cause in which we are all engaged must be triumphant—triumphant equally against a vast ma jority of the House of Lords—against the intrigues of the Court--against all the influence of the despots of the con tinent.—(Loud cheers.)—[The Honourable Member then resumed his seat, on which the company simultaneously rose and enthusiastically cheered him for some time.] Colonel TnomrsoN next rose, and was most heartily greeted. I suppose it is to the honour of having been born your townsman that I must attribute the being requested to propose the toast that follows. Truly may I say what am I, and what my father's house, that it should have fallen upon me a second time in this my native town to introduce so important a subject—so weighty a question—as the pa cification of two vast countries which ought to have been bound together in everlasting love—which have too long been separated by religious differences, and of which we now see the herald of peace in our camp.—(A burst of cheer ing, which continued some time.) Need I say with what happiness we receive him? Need I say how much we thank him—how much vie feel honoured by his presence ? What a weight is upon him—upon his head rests the whole weight of a nation's feelings.—(Tremendous cheers.) You will bear with me in saying that simple justice is all that is demanded for Ireland, and we can give one reason why she shall have it—it is this, that the just and honest people of England will not permit her to be contented with the con trary.—(Long-continued cheering.) Gentlemen, I give you " Mr. O'Connell, and justice to Ireland."—(Loud cheer ing for some time.) Mr. O'CoNNELL then rose, but it was some minutes be fore he could gain a hearing, owing to the enthsiastic cheers which greeted him, followed by cheers for Ireland. At length silence was restored, and he prccceded as fol lows :—lt was no pitiful personal gratification for anything that belongs to me personally ; it was no paltry and pitiful gratification that brought me from the remotest part, not only of England, but where the unbroken wave, from the coast of Labrador, washes my native mountains of Kerry. I come amongst you, Englishmen, and ask you to obtain me justice.—(Tremendous cheers.) I come to ask you for that which no man ever asked in vain of Englishnien—jus tice.—(Cheers.) Fair play for old Ireland I say.—(Con tinued cheering.) We are eight millions ; and eight mil lions of men have power of endeavouring to right them selves. I found that in the discussion of the repeal I had roused English attention to the subject of Ireland's griev ances—l received from those Englishmen that stood by my side, when we were battling the fell Coercion Bill— an d , that was the first vote believe your excellent representa tive, Mr. Hutt, ever gave—(Cheers)—l found those men who were ready themselves to do us justice repugnant to the notion of repeal. I found English sentiment begin ning to be aroused, and I went back to Ireland, and said the English people will help you to justice if you authorize me to give up the agitation of the repeal, provided you obtain that justice.—(Loud cheers.) I traversed three provinces, and came not back to Eng land till I had ascertained how I could pledge myself for the Irish people. I came back'with the fullest pledge ever given by man, that every notion of a difference of legisla ture in either country should cease the moment they ob tained equalization of rights with the people of England.— (Cheers.) Parliament has determined to do Ireland jus tice, and two bills for applying the surplus of the Church revenues to the education of the poor of Ireland, and for Municipal Reform—one has already passed the House of Commons ; the other passed last year, and is certain to do so again this, and here we are stopped by the impediments thrown against us. The position in which I address you is one in which these measures have passed, I may say, the House of Commons ; and what is my object in coming amongst you ? To ask you to assist me in carrying them through the House of Lords. We have but one chance, and that is the exhibition of such a sentiment in England as to make the Lords believe it is their interest to pass both these measures. In itself an irresponsible branch of legislature is a great mischief—it is a solecism in national government that a man should refuse to do good, and to do as much mischief as he thinks fit—that is a state in which a sensible and rational people ought not to continue to exist. But, for my part, I am not one of those who de sire organic changes unnecessarily. Ido not want reform in the House of Lords, if the Lords do not drive the peo ple to desire that reform. They shall be the cause of that reform themselves. I come among vou to ask if they are not upon their trial? You wish that justice should be done to Ireland. All good men desire it. Why is it not to be done ? Because the Lords say it shall not. Is that to be endured —or does it not come trumpet-tongued in England that a reform in the Lords is as necessary as re form in the Commons heretofore was ?—(Cheers.) For of what value, to Ireland for instance, is a reform in the Commons, if the House of Lords be able to stop the good intended by the House of dmmons, and to prevent Ire land sharing in the benefits which the British people enjoy? Therefore I have made this tour to bring that single ques- THE SUN, LON DON, SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1856. tion of public affairs before the attention of the people o England, that, by the medium of the press, it may pas through the entire British dominions, and every man b able to ask himself—" Is Ireland to despair ?—are th Lords to strengthen themselves to declare that Ireland i to obtain no justice, and so to compel a part of the empir to remain in inequality and degradation ?"—(" No.") Th Lords attempted to give you as little good Corporation as they could—they spit in the cup to make it disgusting —(Cheers)—but notwithstanding, by a little cleaning the cup became so far wholesome, that for the second time in my life I am addressing a public assembly; with the Mayor in the chair—(Laughter, and con tinued cheering,) and for the first time in my life I have been cheered by Corporators wearing Orange ribbons.--; (Cheers and laughter.) They did not dare to tell the Scotch, that the old Corporations being swept away, they were not to have new and valuable ones. They did not attempt to tell you, Englishmen, that your old Corporators being swept away, you were unfit to have new and good ones. But they tell it to us Irish,—they say we are unfit to have new Corporations. I tell you the blood of Ireland is maddened at that. I could bear to have the old Corpo rations exist ; we did bear it ; we are habituated to it ; like the eels, we are accustomed to being skinned alive ; we have borne it ; we do bear it,—and are ready to bear it again ; let it go on. lam not ready—l should be unworthy of addressing you if I were ready—to have the insult of the Irish people being told they are unworthy of having that which England enjoys and Scotland delights in. —(Loud cheers.) I do throw myself and my country before you, and call upon you, as you are generous and just,—rise, as one man, and assist me, in having this foul insult thrown back in the throat of those who would cast it at us.—(" We will," and cheers.) Yes, what I have witnessed upon my present tour, and during the one which I took at the close of the last session, has convinced me that I need not animate myself with any spirit of irritation at even a slmrt delay. They may achieve delay, but to-morrow's tide will not more surely flow up the Humber than the hour arrive, and shortly, when the good strength of Scotland, and Eng land, and Ireland shall effect this reform.—(Loud cheers.) We will take our time ; I would speak with despair if saw a relaxation in the spirit or strength of the people, but I live in hope and anticipate the future with certainty, when I 4)e England roused as I have seen it.—(Cheers.) The Duke of Newcastle, Lord Londonderry, and others of that school of politics—even the Christian Lord Wynford, and his dearest Grace the Dukb of Cumberland—(Laud laugh ter, and expressions of scorn and derision)—men of that kind may retard the progress of justice to Ireland, but can no more shut it out than, according to Paddy's phrase, they could keep out the tide with a pitchfork.—(Laughter.) Great changes are being effected, not by the musket and bayonet or tumult, but by the still, slow, and regular moving power of thought and action of good men with feelings spreading from heart to heart and from mind to mind, till the ark of public liberty shall float triumphantly into the haven of the constitution.—(Loud and continued cheering.) I have no doubt that the sentiments your cheers express will be embodied in the form of a petition to the House of Lords---(Cheers)—that the good men of Hull will meet at a moment's warning, to testify under their hands, in language short, but yet emphatic, to the House of Lords, in a tone respectful, but firm in dictation, that they should do justice to Ireland, or else---(The Hon. and Learned Member sat • down amidst the most deafening plaudits, the whole company standing and cheering some time.) The CHAIRMAN—I beg your attention, gentlemen, while I propose to you the health of the Lord High Steward of this borough, the Earl of Durham.—(Three times three, and long-continued cheering.) Mr. HUTT, who was loudly called for, rose and said—l am proud to acknowledge myself the friend of Lord Dur ham.—(Cheers.) Such, indeed, has been the tenor of Lord Durham's honest and virtuous life, that, to use the words of a distinguished writer, he may consider the people as his children.—(Loud cheering.) The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said lie hoped they would take Mr. O'Connell's hint, and imme diately petition the House of Lords in favour of Municipal Reform for Ireland, in as strong and energetic terms which, as Englishmen, they could use. He then gave " Municipal Reform for Ireland," which was drank with three times three and loud applause. Colonel THOMPSON proposed " Household Suffrage, Triennial Parliaments, and the Vote by Ballot."—(Three times three, and loud applause.) The CHAIRMAN then gave " Reform of the House of Lords."—(Great cheering.) Mr. HUTT proposed " Lord John Russell, and the Bo rough Magistrates of England."—Three times times three. Mr. O ' CONNELL gave " The Restoration of Poland." About twelve o'clock the whole company left the room. WILLIAM GODWIN. Our obituary contains the death of the celebrated Wm. Godwin, in the 81st year of his age. Mr. Godwin was nearly fifty years before the public as a writer. His celebrated work on Political Justice attracted more attention, perhaps, than any publication of the time. The author possessed one of the finest requisites of a great writer ; he addressed himself to his reader. in an earnest and impressive manner. Whatever may be thought of Mr. Godwin's philosophy, it will be universally admitted that he presented it in the most attractive form. Malthus's cele brated work on population, which first appeared in one oc tavo, was written for the express purpose of refuting the ideas of human perfectability advocated by Mr. Godwin, by showing that from the tendency of population to in crease beyond food, vice was a necessary part of the eco nomy of the world. All the errors of the book of Malthus may be traced, we think, to its controversial origin. Mr. Godwin attempted most walks of literature, and in several he excelled. As an essayist, his " Enquirer" will always give him a claim to a high place. His observations on style—pursued through several Essays—are peculiarly serviceable to the young. He also attempted tragedy, but we believe his only effort was not suscessful. As a novelist, " Caleb Williams" will always entitle him to the first rank. Who ever 'took up that interesting work without being glued to it till the close ? Mr. Godwin having been a warm admirer of the French Revolution, suffered not a little from the obloquy cast on all who shared his views. When Sir James Mackintosh delivered his Lincoln's-inn Lectures, Mr. Godwin was one of his hearers ; and we believe he was not a little surprised to find that no small portion of the labours of Sir James was devoted to the refutation of the heresies of his former associate. Having entered into business as a bookseller, Mr. , Godwin wrote a number of works on Education, which were published under the name of Baldwin (the disguise be inc, necessary from the obloquy to which we have alluded) and obtained very extensive circulation. Mr. Godwin retained his health and faculties till within a short time of his death. He was a successful author of novels when turned of 70 years of age. He was rather under the middle size, compactly built, and we have always understood was, during his whole life, almost a stranger to disease. The small place under the Government which he received during the Grey Administration, was considered a well-deserved reward. Mr. Godwin was, we believe, the last of the Revolu tionary school of writers of any note. IRELAND. ORANGEMEN'S LOYALTY.—Notwithstanding the boasted loyalty of Orangemen, " No surrender" is still the motto. On the 25th ult., the Masters of. Orange Lodges for the Castle-blayney district of the county Monaghan held at Ballybay, the notorious Sam Gray in the chair ; when these worthies, not content with the sneering at his Majesty's " gracious answer," doggedly avowed their determination of " assembling when and where they please ;" and that while they make " no surrender" their watchword, they will not give up their hope of rising again above the control of a Ministry holding office at the beck of a Popish demagogue ! This is one of the many samples which these loyalists, by prescription, have recently given of the justice of their pre tensiens.—Register. COUNTY REFORM REGISTRY ASSOCIATION.—A full and highly respectable meeting of the Reformers of Fermoy and its vicinity took place in that town on Monday. The Constitution endeavours to confound, as if there were any similarity between them, the County Association with the Orange Lodges, alleging that not a month has elapsed since the King, in his answer to the. Address of the House of Commons, declared his determination to discourage the Orange and other similar Societies, and that, in defiance of the expressed will of the Sovereign, the principal adherents of his Ministers are hastening to organize in Ireland new Associations, which, it is asserted, arc open to the very charges brought against the Orange Lodges, of exclusive ness and illegality. This is a misrepresentation. The County Association is constituted for a purpose indisputably legal and constitutional. It has one sole, public, notorious, and defined object. It is neither secret nor exclusive. It is not sectarian in its character, including, as it does, indi viduals of all religious denominations ; and the members are not under by any obligation of oath, neither do they recognize each other signs or symbols.—Corle Reporter. The late meeting in Mayo is one of those great public proceedings which call for the most distinct consideration. This great meeting of the county is honourable to its talents and its spirit, and we have no doubt the choice of the county, whenever an election takes place, will be stamped with wisdom as wall as integrity.—Dublin. Freeman's Journal. TGIF REGISTRIES. COIiNTY OF LONGFORD. — Eleven Liberal electors were rerristered at Ballyrnahon this day (Monday) befure Mr. Fred. Lindsay, acting assistant-bar rister in the room or M r. F renc h, who was indisposed. The Tories had no t one so li tary c l a i ma nt to produce. There were four Liberal claimants rejected—two for insufficiency of value, who have lodged appeals, one who bad not his title deeds in court, and one who claimed as a 10/. free holder, for not being in possession of all the premises out of which he sought to register, but in which he had an in terest far exceeding 201. per annum. The Sessions have commenced this day (Tuesday) at Longford, Where the Liberals are expected to make con siderable progress, having served upwards of two hundred notices. KING'S CouNTY.--The Registry for the Birr division of the King's County commenced in that town on Saturday. The number of notices, not counting duplicate ones, amounted to about 108. The Tories never before sus tained such a signal defeat as they experienced on this oc casion. They registered but five, while the Liberals have added forty-two good substantial men to their ranks. One or two lessons more of this kind w ill comp l ete l y coo l all Conservative ardour in the King's County. As a speci men of the evidence, one of the witnesses who gave his testimony under the most violent paroxysms of excitement, lnstily deposed that the land in question " would not•bog a snipe !" Colonel Lloyd, with his cohorts, took a lively in terest in the early part of the proceedings, but fled in dis may in the course of the day. The two County Members, Mr. Fitzsimon and Colonel Westenra were at their post, together with Major Richard Westenra, of Monaghan, and an English gentleman of liberal politics, who seemed much amused at the animation of the scene. At Phillipstown session last week, Consellor Gibson pre siding, not a single elector on the list was registered for division of the King's County, none attending. CORK CITY REGISTRATION.—LiberaIs registered at Mallow, 36 ; Tories, 31—majority for the Liberals, 5. At our City Assizes, just ended, the Liberals registered 64 ; Tories, 13—majority for Liberals 51—Total 56. When the result of the year's registry is published, the Liberals will show such an increase of strength as will deter 'the Tories from practising the tricks played at the last election. THE DEPOPULATING WICKEDNESS.--MC fell spirit of persecution has been exhibited throughout the entire week. The Protestant parsons, armed with writs of rebellion, have gone on reckless of human suffering, persecuting the poor peasantry with unrelenting cruelty. It is only seven days since ninety-six individuals, including widows and or phans, the young and the infirm, were ejected from their dwellings, and cast on the highways to starve or plunder, and that in a single district of Carlow. It will no doubt be asked, what was the offence of these forlorn creatures, what did they do to call down the vengeance of the noble and ruthless desolator ? The question (says a Correspon dent of a Contemporary) can be answered in three words— they were poor. This was their only crime. But were they unwilling to work? No such thing. There is not in any part of the habitable globe a more hardy or laborious being than an Irish cottier, a person willing to submit to more keen privations for the sustenance of human life. We now turn to Tipperary. Concurrently with the exter minating proceedings in Carlow, the field is taken in the former county by the agents of the parsons, and " writs of rebellion" run riot through the length and breadth of the land. One man is seized in a tavern, and though he offers security to the amount of 7001., the " Commissioner" re tains his grasp, and the tithe defaulter is thrown into pri son. A few days after, the same functionary renews ope rations, and traverses an entire district, over hill and dale, -at the head of a police party. He , searches for his prey ; but finding the bird flown, is the minister of rebellion to suffer disappointment ? No such thing. Returning homeward, he finds other employment in distraining for tithe arrears—he seizes five head of cattle, the property of a gentleman ; and then, to show how im partial he can be in harassing all parties, breaks open a house belonging to a poor widow, and carries off a horse. The service of the day is concluded by getting drunk and firing pistol-shots, to the no small alarm of the neighbourhood. Such is the diary of a commissioner of rebellion. And all this is done with the aid of the police, but no Magistrate, and amid a population the most excita ble and daring in Ireland. The people of Wexford are un willing to pay tithes, waiting, and small blame to them, for a final settlement of the question ; not so, however, Colonel Rochford. This gallant Tory settles with the parson, and straight proceeds to levy the amount from his tenantry. A seizure takes place, and then follows a scene which we copy frem the correspondent of the Wexford :—" Several thousand persons attended at the appointed time and place of sale, and seemed as if they came to attend the funeral of some lamented friend. They stood in awful and gloomy silence, and appeared as if buried in profound thought. The goods were offered for sale, but not an individual in the vast assembly would stain his bands with property seized for the ' odious impost.' The Sheriff brought neither mili tary nor police to attend him. Indeed, there was no occa sion for them. The county Wexford people are too ho, nourable to abuse his confidence ; and, thanks to political agitation, they are too well instructed, too enlightened, and they have too much confidence in the present Go vernment, to commit a breach of the peace. Two spies attended on the occasion ; but their ingenuity could not torture one act or expression to the disadvantage of the people in attendance. The persons distrained at Browne's- wood, are J. Kelly and J. Browne, Roman Ca tholics—honest, upright, industrious men, who have paid their rents punctually. The properties of four respectable Protestants, extensive landholders near Ballindaggin, have been seized for tithes. Monday, April 4, is the appointed day of sale. These Protestants are Mr. Bassett, of Mo nalee ; Mr. Jacob, and two others, all distrained at the suit of the Rev. Preston Elrington." This is but a brief sum mary of oue week's work in only three counties of Ireland ; and the reader will now judge of the prospect of tranquil lity in a country where such transactions are only regarded as matters of course ; above all, he will be able to estimate what portion of Irish outrages is fairly chargeable on the measures of Lord Mulgrave or the Whig Administration. Yet, strange as it may appear, the Irish peasantry are, after all, more peaceably disposed at this very hour, and under this load of provocative oppression, than at any former period of our history." BLACKSOD RAILWAY.—A deputation, consisting of Colonel Knox Gore, Lord Lieutenant of the county of Sligo, on behalf of the county of Mayo Committee of the Blacksod and Broadhaven Railway, Sir Henry Meredith, Bart., Hon. Sir Francis Stanhope, Robert Murdock, Esq., agent to the Earl of Arran and to Mrs. Leslie, Mr. Leahy, solicitor, &c., have had an interview with his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, at Dublin Castle, relative to the sur vey of the harbours on the western coast of Ireland, with a view of selecting an eligible one as a naval, commercial, and packet station ; and also for the purpose of getting his Excellency's instructions to the Board of Works to have a calculation and statement made of the expense of a survey of the intended line of railway from Dublin to Blacksod and Broadhaven harbours, by Mullingar, Longford, Gra nard, Carrick-on-Shannon, Boyle, Ballina, Castlebar, &c., aid from Mullingar to Galway, by Athlone, Ballinasloe, &c. ; and to have an engineer named for the purpose of such survey by the Board of Works, with a view of ascer tainino%the merits of the line, and the probable expense of completing the project. His Excellency received the de putation most graciously, and stated that he would commu nicate with the Board of Works respecting the survey, and the appointment of an engineer, and that he would also communicate with the Government on the subject of the harbours. _ _ _ _ _ _ SUlClDE.—Between 12 and 1 o'clock on Saturday, John Deane, a private in the 33d Regiment, stationed in the Royal Barrack, and servant to the adjutant, put a period to his existence by hanging himself. The deceased, who was a fine-looking young man, about 25 years of age, was distinguished as one of the best servants in the regiment, and as a most sober, steady man. A disappointment in a love affair is supposed to have been the cause of his unfor tunate end.—Freeman. UPSET OF THE CORK MAIL—AS the mail from Dublin, via Kilkenny, was travelling at the usual rate, half-,way be tween the latter place and Callan, it was suddenly upset, in consequence of the cap of the axletree coming off. There were two outside passengers besides coachman and guard on the coach at the time, but fortunately all escaped with out serious injury. The guard then procured a post-chaise in which he arrived here two hours after the usual time. By a similar conveyance the mail was forwarded to Cork, but was doomed to meet with a second accident, as the chaise was also upset on Watergrass-hill, and the guard slightly bruised. ACCIDENT FROM LIGHTNING.—EarIy on Thursday morning last, the schooner Glasgow (f llothsay, Captain, Miller, then lying at anchor at - Dorinch, in Westport-bay, was struck with lightning, and a mariner, who wa s s itti ng n ear the chain cable on deck, was struck by the electric fluid so violently that he was found in a state of insensi bility, and so severely burnt from his head to his feet that his life is despaired of. It appeared that the chain cable acted as a conductor, for the lightning, having entered the vesse l by the hawse-hole, and exploded with a report equal to that of a 21-pounder. The vessel received no se rious injury. Despatches were received at the Portugeuse Lega tion, in Baker-street, on Thursday, from Plymouth, an nouncing the departure of his Royal Highness Prince Ferdi nana of Portugal, at eight P.m., on Monday, for Lisbon, in the Manchester steam-vessel, the weather having become mo derate. The Duchess of Braganza frigate and the Espe ran2a schooner, convoy to the Manchester, were driven, by stress of weather, the former into Portsmouth and the latter into Falmouth. Both vessels have since sailed. Robert VlTallace, Esq., M. P., arrived here this moaning, on his way to pass a few days at Kelly House.. the Easter holidays can, however, hardly be called a time relaxation to our indefatigable representative, Indeed, in so far as they have brought him a change of du , u ,r es a:red accordingly, we believe that he has this day , been various conferences on matters connected witn . the i his constituents.—We have heard that Mr. NVal Parliamentary this for London early next week, to resume his labours,—Greenock Intelleyencer. ciin'tt:eilCesletsa%o•of SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. M. Coletti most industriously perseveres in his belief, and in his exertions to make all the world be lieve, that Greece is not and cannot possibly be tran quil, unless be be placed at the head of its Govern ment. He has been propagatin g this doctrine since the very day of his arrival in Paris, through all tho channels of the press to which he could find access. The Journal des Debats, the Constitutionnel, the Courrier Francais, and the Temps, having been so often obliged to contradict the statements which they had put forth upon his authority, appear at last to have declined receiving his false inspirations. La i'aix, lately the Moniteur du Commerce, having still its fortune to make, opens its columns to every party in turn. M. Coletti has found refuge in it for his in ventions ; and accordingly we find the number for Wednesday devoting a considerable portion of its space to an elaborate piece of declamation on Greece, the beginning, the middle, and the finale of which are burdened with the inference, that nothing can go on well in Greece until the ex-Minister of the Interior shall be put in Count Armansperg's place. The sum of all this rhodomontade may be conveyed in very few words. The new kingdom of Greece continues to he unsettled ; it is agitated by civil dissensions ; it is the odd upon which the great Powers are contending for European supremacy ; the influence of Russia at the Court of Athens 'is predominant, and that predomi nance is secured by the connections which the Emperor has secretly established with the members of the Go vernment, but especially with Count Armansperg. Not a single fact is stated by way of evidence, to justify any one of these assertions. It has been demonstated, over and over again, within these last six months, that the conspiracies and open rebellions which were reported to have taken place in Greece, and which at one time drove the young King from Athens, at another compelled his father to take refuge on board a British man of war in the Pirwus, and at another :,übstituted a democratic for the monarchical form • cf Government by a simultaneous movement of the whole population, were in all and every part of them, unqualified fabrications. With- the • ex ception of a few acts of brigandage, pe r p e t ra t e d occasionally in the Morea or in Western Greece, and which called forth immediate and effective resistance from the local authorities, nothing has occurred, since the removal of the King to Athens, to afford the least countenance to these slanders. As to the idea that the Court of Otho is the field upon which the great Powers are contending for European supremacy, it could only have emanated from the head of a man who never could have attained or held office without being a party to every species of intrigue. The habits engendered by such a course of existence, could alone have given.birth to the ridiculous notion that Athens ia the great field of battle upon which the future des tinies of Europe are to be decided. Speaking for our own Government, and for the very able and discreet 7 , linister who represents it in Greece—Sir Edward Lyons—we say, confidently, that no interests are sought to be established there of a British character. Our only desire is to see the monarchy, which is partly under our protection, happy and prosperous, and attaining all that it yet requires of a constitutional organization by means of institutions thoroughly na tional in their character. If the Russian Minister be charged by his Imperial Master to counteract these purposes, he is opposing not British but Greek in terests ; and of this we are certain, that if he has taken any sieps to carry his designs into effect, he has wholly failed to accomplish his object. The views which our Government entertains with respect to the r: , generation of a people, interesting to all the civilized parts of the world, arc also the views of Count Ar mansperg. This we state in the most unreserved terms, and what we state we know to be true. Count Armansperg is Greek in the whole tenor of his policy —from sentiment, if you please—from conviction— we believe that if he were otherwise, he would be unfit to retain for one moment the distinguished office, the duties of which he has hitherto discharged in the most honourable manner. One fault, indeed, we con fess he did commit ; he sanctioned the appointment to the Court of the Tuilleries of a Minister who occu pies all his time in misrepresenting and injuring the country whose bread he eats.—Morning Chronicle. There is a wonderful deal of straggling among the supporters of the Whig-Radical Ministry. What is, we believe, in the Army, technically called " falling out" is of continual occurrence in the Ministerial march. The man in the farce tells . us, with reference to his mimic instruments, that when they " do agree, their unanimity is wonderful." Not so the instruments of the Anti-National party. they agree after a fashion, it is true—namely, in abusing every man of honour and intelligence connected with public life ; and we are proud to add, we are especially distinguished by their gross vituperation ; but as regards the purposes of their incongruous coalition, the poor people pursue a course for which the Conservatives ought to be grate ful, calculated as it is to cover both Whigs and Radicals with the consideration to which they are by this time equally entitled. For instance, in two matters important to the public—the question of military punishments, and the restoration of Lord Brudenell to his rank in the ser vice—a most extraordinary difference of tone has distin guished the several organs of the Government. As re gards the first of these questions, the two evening supporters of the mal-Administration took diametrically opposite views, one of them bearing a manifestly re luctant tribute to the just line of advocacy which we thought fit to adopt, the other denouncing it altogether, and, as is natural when people of this sort "fall out," they interchanged strange compliments, and we, who honestly advocated the subject of discussion, " came by our own"—that is, we were left in possession of a question misrepresented by one of these journals, and misunderstood by the other. As regards the restora tion of Lord Brudenell, discord arose between the morning and one of the evening organs just alluded to. It was loudly declared by one, that in this step the Mi nistry were wrong, and gently insinuated by the other that they possibly might be right. The journal that took the more "liberal" view, as it is called, advocated the substitution of proscription for salutary and digni remonstrance. Their violent virtue could be pro pitiated by nothing short of the professional ruin of an hniourable man, and we were reproached with not re vtining an implacable resentment against the Noble Lord who had erred and had paid the penalty of his error. This forbearance on our parts from that to which we never can descend, namely, a factious misrepre s'.aitation of a . public matter, unfortunately for the Evening Journal, was equally chargeable on his Ma.- jnty's present Ministers. This circumstance, cf course, called its morning co-adjutor into heavy acti vity, and the result was, that these two floundering periodicals left this question as they do most others— confused by their interference, and suffeaing under their special pleading. What are the real. facts of this case ? Let us at once consider them. 'The head and front of the offending of Lord Brudenell is, that lie misconceived the true nature of his position, with re ference to a brother officer, subordinate to him in cone mand, and that, acting under such misconception, be pressed charges of an unfounded nature ; on which, according to the finding of the court-martial, he ought to have better informed himself before lie appealed; 0 a military tribunal.
