AMONG the various Plans submitted to the Public f o r th e formation of Joint Stock Companies to accomplish objects, many of which are beyond the means of individuals success fully to undertak e ou any very extensive scale, .it is strange that none has yet been put forward, in connection with what is of the last importance to Great Britain as a Commercial people, namely, the improvement of the Mercantile Marine. Without reflecting on the skill of those to whom has hitherto been committed the Building of Merchant Ships, it will be ad mitted that something remains to be done in the way of im provement; and that this is more likely to be accomplished by / the united talent of a number of intelligent 'bads, acting in concert, than by the single unaided skill of a one individual. It is scarcely necessary to say anything a to the prospect of profit which such an undertaking holds , nor of the extent to which a well conducted establishine may be carried in a port like Liverpool. Those Shipow. ers and Merchants to whom this notice is principally addressed need not have the advantages of a Joint Stock Company . for the Building and Repairing all description of Vessels pointed out. They must be obvious. In the conviction that'a Company for such a purpose will prove advantageous in - a. national point of view, and also a pro fitable undertaking to Subscribers, it has been determined to form a Company, to be called "THE LIVERPOOL JOINT STOCK SHIP BUILDING COMPANY," with a Capital of £300,000, in 6000 Shares of £5O each, 2s. 6d. per Share to be paid on allotment of Shares; and £lO per Share in one month after the election of Ditectors (into such Bank as may Le appointed.) Future calls to be regulated as the Board of Directors may determine. The management of the Company shall be invested in twelve Directors; five to be a quorum; three to retire annually, but'to be re-eligible.

THE object of the present project is to form a line of Rail way whereby the trade and traffic of Dublin with the North and North-western Districts of Ireland may be increased and improved. The subject has undergone mature deliberation and received the unanimous support of the Bankers, Merchants, and Traders of Dublin, and the Gentry and Landowners of the Counties of Meath, Longford, Cavan, the Towns of Granard, Trim, Athboy, Kells, Navan, and various other Towns to be benefited by the Railway, Petitions from which have been pre sented to Parliament. The line that has been selected will be the sole medium of transport for Passengers and Goods and all Agricultural Pro -dace to the North and North-western Districts of Ireland; 'it Passe.s through a fertile and -highly-cultivated - country, benefits many large Market Towns, and embraces the entire trade and intercourse of one-half of Iteland, comprising all the manufac turing districts, and having no Canal or Water Carriage to 'compete with it. • It is intended subseqUently to, extend the Line to Armagh, 'there to meet the Railway from Belfast. The Line to Navan forms the Main Trunk for any of the contemplated Railways to the Western Districts of Ireland. The Public is aware that it is the object of another Company to carry a line of Railway, coastwise, between Dublin and Drogheda, to the total exclusion of the Inland Country. The line of Railwai laid down by the opposing C o mp an y, adjoins 'Tule small '1 owns and Villages along the Coast, inhabited SsnienV by Fishermen, and having no existing Trade or Traffic. isalbr.iggan, the largest and only important rown on the line, eontains a population of 3,016 inhabitants, and has but 325 fa milies engaged in trade, manufacture, and handicraft. The in tercourse by passengers is so trifling, that but six public vehi cles are employed throughout the entire line, and should there be hereafter any increase of traffic, this Railway can always be s oecessfully opposed by Water Carriage along the Eastern More, The Coast line of Railway is nearly four miles longer than the Inland line;— Coast line to Drogheda, 32 miles 220 yards. Inland line to Drogheda, 28 miles 530 ya r d s . Estimated Expense of the Coast line, as stated by the Engineer, is Estimated Ex ense of the Inland line to Dreg ' hed a P . 455,881 7 3 There is here, therefore, an admitted excess in the outlay of t 144,000 also, in the annual expense of maintaining the two lines, the exce ss o f th e ex p ense on th e Coast line o ver th e In land line will be £lO,OOO a-year ; this last will be evident when the situation of the two lines is considered ; the natural difficul ties of the Coast line if they can be surmounted by the skill of the Engineer will be at an expense unexampled in the annals ar Railway Engineering. By reference to the Plan, it will be s een that real s a works are to be constructed at Contalf for a Mile and ahalf— e an ar . m of the sea at Malahide for two miles, at tell foot water to be crossed on an embankment forty feet high— thirty feet of filling at I?ogerstewn strand for a distance of two T il es—nearly four miles of a cutting at Melverton sixty-five feet , e eP—a sea embankm e nt nn th e s h ore t owar d s Sk err i es , seventy eet frOm the surface of the beach, and exposed to the whole serce of the ocean—a tunnel under Thornhill, and a second Tun nel a mile long, to.be constructed under Melverton demesne. ''aeh works cannot be constructed at a less - rate than £30,000 a if, intleed; . it be rssible to form a correct estimate of the expense in su c h an undertaking. The costs of maintenance Must be equally uncertain in amount, as the action of the Water IT the sh ore may sweep away breakwaters and embankments, although constructed fei t the purposes of security, with the ut- Most skill, and with no regard to expense. et• 431 ° Pillion may' be formed of the estimation in which the tAto nes are held by the inhabitants and land-owners on the rb- Peetive lines'brtbe face, that whilst on the Inland line an rl aninions opinion . prevails in its favour, on the Coast line se Feral i nfluentiartand-owners are opposed to that line, and have timed Parliament 'against it, and prayed to be heard by %. otrnsel. nlathhnclecti,oreaigihnaaels beent a single petition presented againit the have been twelve petitions from various places pre nst the Coast line. v,The necessary surVeys . of the Inland line, from Dublin to .arogheda and Navan, have been some time made; there is no engineering difficdlty to be encountered.

The inland line for twenty-eight miles out of Dublin would be a common trunk for any Railway to the Western and North western parts of Ireland, which, iu point of level and material, of&rs every facility to the formation - of a Railway joining Lough-Erne, the second largest Lake in Ireland, which con tains an area of 3.3,023 acres, possessing a water power equiva lent to the force of 35,000 horses, and the River which flows from it to the sea has a fall of 149 feet, forming one of the, largest and most valuable water powers, existing in Ireland. I NCOME, A very careful investigation of the Revenue to arise from the Railway has been made, and the followink is the result: — There are twenty-six public vehicles and six caravans, car rying fifteen passengers each, passing to and from D u bli n , Drogheda, Navan, and Slane, by the Inland line daily, and six public vehicles, six Caravans, and two Mail Cars ) on the Coast line daily, making the number forty-six available for calcu tion. £ s. d. Passengers :—These conveyances are generally ' 'filled, but taking only twelve to each as the daily average, we have 552 passengers daily, or 201,48) yearly. The charge now is 7s. for an inside seat, and 4s. outside: let the Railway fares be only 4s. for the first-class carriage, 3s. for the second, and 2s. for the third, thus giving 3s. as the average on 552, or a sum of £B2 16s. per day, but, according to the principle that - the ex isting number of passengers may be doubled, we have £165 I2s: per day,.or per, annum 60,444 0 0 There ale several Public Cars plying daily be tween the termini of :the Railway and towns on the line between Dublin, Drogheda, and Nava.n; carrying passengers ; and, receiving £lO a day, which doubled, as above, £2O a day; or per annum 7,300 0 0 . . . Postingand Carriage of private carria ges ..... 6,000 0 0 Transmissions of eight mails daily up, and down, say 512 miles at sd. per riffle, or £lO 13s. 4d. per diem Parcels on all conveyances, northward' ani westward Carriage of 350 tons of Goods weekly, at 10s per ton, being less than half of the present rate charged 9,100 0 0 Agricultural produce:—Corn, Flour, Butter, for the several markets and shipment abroad, and also Fruit, Vegetables, and Milk for the supply of the bletropolis., This will form a most pro-. duOtive source of income to the Company, say at least • ' . 7,000 0 0 Carriage of Cattle, Sheep, .Lambs, and Poultry for the supply of the Dublin Markets and ship ment forngland. The County of Meath is the greatest grazing county in Ireland, and not only supplies the Dublin Markets, .but also, with the adjoining ceunties to the West, contiguous to the line of Railway, supplies the Cattle shipped at the Port of Dublin for - Liverpool and Bristol; this is expected to produce at the lowest calcu lation 12,000 0 0 Carriage of Manure, Lime 1,500 0 0 Revenue to arise from Warehouses, Shops, &c at Dublin Terminua £113,137 6 8 We have here a fixed sum of £113,137 Gs. Bd. per annum, mainly upon an existing trade ' but the increased facility afforded by this Railway for all Agricultural and Commercial purposes to the industrious and peaceable population of the North, and North-western districts of Ireland, daily increasing in wealth and commercial prosperity, gives just hopes that this Railway, which is locked upon to be a work of national benefit and utility, will be. a source of increasing profit to the Company, when the anticipated facilities and benefits of it will be felt throughout a population of near 2,000,000 of inhabitants.

(`CONNECTING the County of FI with the Counties on Vi the North side of the TAY, on e one hand, and those on the South side of the FORTH on e other, thus forining a link of union between the Ferries on e Forth and the Tay, by con necting the Dundee and Newtyle Railway, with its branches to Cupar and Glammis, the Dundee Forfar, and Arbroath Railways, present. before Parliament, and at their intended extension of them to Kirriemuir, Brechin and Montrose, as well as the pro posed Railway from Dundee to Perth, with the great Railivays on the , Soui h of the Forth, particularly the Edinburgh and Gia.;gOw Railway—the Edinburgh, Haddington, and Dunbar Railway— the Edinburgh, Leith, and.Newhaven Railway, and the Edin burgh, Dalkeith, and Leith Railway; and being a branch from thereat Trunk Railway propo s ed t o b e ex t en d e d f rom Lond on _ g by York to the Scottish mei( opolis. The advantages of a Railway connecting together districts of the country so very populous - and advancing, and passing throu g h a highly cultivat e d li n e, f ert ile i n i ts agricu ltural, and abounding in its mineral productions, are• too apparent to require to be commented on. Indeed it is difficult to select a portion of country of equal ex tent in the ki ng d om, which presents so many facilities and ad vantages for a railway communication as the country betwixt the Fife and Tay ferries. The intercourse between Fife and the Lothians on the south, and Forfarshire on the north, is even at present Very . great great; and some idea of the extent of the increased commUnication may be formed, when it is considered that during the year 1835 there were upwards of 75,000 passengers between Newhaven and Burntisland, Pettyour, and Kirkalily, and up wards 31,(X10 between Newhaven, Dundee, and Aberdeen &c. T he . qu a nti t y o t goo d s w hi c h wou ld b e carr i e d a l ong a railway connecting the two ferries would be very considerable. The manufactures of Dundee and of the other towns on the lines of the railway on the north, would be brought to' the markets in the south in a cheap and speedy manner; and the articles of commerce sent frOm the south being carried at a comparatively cheap rate would find a ready market in the populous and flou rishing towns of Dundee and Perth. Looking at the internal resources of the county of Fife alone, abounding as it does in coal and limestone, a verv . considerable traffic might fairly be expected, when the want of these articles on the north of the Tay is considered. There are' at present imported into Dundee about 300,000 tons of Scotch coals annu ally. If a cheap and speedy communication by a railway- through the coal district of Fife was formed, the greater part of this large quantity might be fairly calculated upon as part of the railway traffic. There are likewise upward of 100,000 bolls of. n linae im ported into the ports of Perth and Dundee, besides impoitationi into the intermediate ports. Impressed with a consideration of the great advantages to the country at large, which the formation of a railway between the Fife and Tay ferries would produce, it has been resolved by a number of gentlement to endeavour to carry . it into effect, and that as promply, economically, and beneficially for the share holders and the public as its great accessibilities will admit.

PROSPECTUS OF . A JOINT STOCK COMPANY, ____ __FOR THE NAPOSE OP REFINING SPEAII:I OIL , BLEACHING OF WAX, MANUFACTURE OF S PERM, , AND, COMP°- SITION_CANDLES, TO BE-CALLRO THE LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER SPERM OIL REFINING COMPANY. CAPITAL, £150,000, IN 15,000 SHARES OF £lO EACH THE necessity of an Establishment for the REFINING of SPERM OIL has long been experienced by the Merchants, Shipowners, and Consumers of Liverpool, nchester, and the Neighbouring Districts, the want of such ving almost entirely prevented the Importation of this articl s a return for Ship-, ments made from this Port to New o h Wales. Hitherto, consequently, such car sas have been imported were of necessity reshipped to Lon ,to be there Refined, and afterwards returned to this county to be consumed, burthened with those almost incalculable additional expenses which it is the object of the present Establishment tnremove. The consumption of Sperm Oil may even yet be considered in its infancy, although it has increased very considerably within the last seven years, and has been generally adopted as' a substi tute for other Oils for the purposes of. Machinery, thus rendering it a most valuable article of Importation to the Merchant and Shipowner. The vicinity of Liverpool to the principal manufacturing towns, and the great and growing intercourse between this Port and New South Wales, which, by the establishment of the Cornpauy, will be materially increased, point out the neccessity and legitimate right of the town to this very lucrative trade. To the Merchant and Shipowner this. - Company secures a ready market for an article they have hitherto been debarred importing, or, having imported - it, have been compelled to sub-. mit to a sacrifice by sending it to London to a few, merchants there who have enjoyed the monopoly. To the . consumer and dealer the advantages will at once pre sent theinselves, the saving of Freight, the locality of the Manu facture, the purity of the Oil, and the redueed price at which it can be afforded. It is intended, at.the same time, to' add the BLEACHING of WAX, and the manufacture of WAX, SPERMACETI, and Cost- POSITION CANDLES, as a necessaly Branch of the Refining of SPERM OIL with the Bleaching of the SPERMACETI, thus securing a considerable additional profit, and making the Esta blishment complete in all its branches. It is proposed that the capital of this company shall be £150,000, in 15,000 Shares. of £lO each ; no Shareholder to hold less than ten Shares. That the affairs of this Company shall be managed by a Board of Directors, who shall beholders of at least fifty Shares each. The sum of one shilling per share shall be paid on an allot ment to defray the expenses incidental to the formation of the Company, and a further sum of £1 per share within 14 days after the appointment of Directors, and all further calls will be made as the Directors may deem requisite. A number of Shares will be reserved for Alancbester and the adjoining Manufacturing Towns.

Liverpool, April 23d, 1836. THE LINE. The two termini of the line are proposed to be Port on Craig or Newport on the north, and Burntisland, or wherever the pro posed low water pier shall be erected, on the south. In regard to its intermediate direction, the line which shall be ascertained to be most advantageous, on the report of eminent engineers, will be adopted. TRINITY HARBOUR. £SU Sti Es DErrisvr £3.

Any applications made on or before SATURDAY 'ext, the 14th instant, will be duly attended to. RICHARD DAWSON, . "Sharebroker, Exchange-alley, Liverpool. EXPENSE. The distance between the extremities of the line will be about thirty-two miles, and when respect is paid to the recent great improvements in the formation of Railways it is expected that the costs will be less than £lO,OOO a mile, hut it has been deem ed expedient to hrve a capital to the extent of this rate, being £320,000, by which means a steady and sure progression -and compTetion of the work may be relied on, THE PROFIT. Considering that the county of Forfar is internally destitute of, and that Fife abounds in coal, and considering the facilities which would be given to the ports of Kirkaldy or Dundee for exporting, the agricultural, and mineral, and manufacturing productions.of the county of Fife, a very great source of revenue would be thence derived. • In passengers, however, the greatest reliance for a revenue ynay lie placed. The number cif passengers at prescnt is up wards of 90,000, annually, exclusive of those travelling farther north, and who would also . avail themselves of the railway tterough Fife. But say that fl4' increase of passengers was only to. the extent of one half of this groSs number, or 135,000 throughout the line, and nearly as many for intermediate dis-' tances, but say altogether 250,000 passengers for various dis tances, this would yield -yearly. • £35,250 0 0 Goods, consisting of coal, liine, grain, flax yarn, &c. &c., carried along the railway, at least.... 18,000 0 0 £53,250 0 0 Deduct eximuse of maintenance, and manage ment, conveyance, &c 17,750 0 0 35,500 0 0 Yielding a profit of upwards of 11 per cent. annually on the capital stock. 1.

TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 10, [836: The Chancellor of the Exchequer's budget was un folded on Friday last rather reluctantly, for he showed every disposition to defer it for another week. It is pre cisely the sort of thing we expected from the petty mind of so small a guager as Mr. SPRING RICE. With the exception of the paper and newspaper duties, the re maining items are so contemptible that we feel persuaded if they were fairly distributed they would not provide brooms for the crossing sweepers of the metropolis. The Chancellor calculates that his surplus revenue for the current year will be, in round figures, about £660,000. Even this, however, depends upon a contingent claim due under the emancipation bill to some West India pro prietors. This reduces the assumed surplus to the low figure of £soo,ooo—a surplus utterly unworthy the cre dit of a great nation like this whose Yearly income ex ceeds £50,000,000. Of this assumed surplus Mr. RICE proposes to surren der £350,000 for the benefit of certain parties con• corned, in the following proportions:— _ . . Paper duties Post-o ffi ce treaty '20,000 Probates - 20,000 South Sea duties. lO,OOO Newspaper stamps 150,000 Insurances on farming buildings.... 15,000 Advertisements (Ireland) 6,000 Tax-carts, flies, &c 5,000 £351,006 - - Of the paper and newspaper duties we have on previ ous occasions expressed our opinions, and we have no-- thing to add except the repetition of our firm conviction that the scheme will grievously disappoint the clamorous cheats, the MOLESWORTII and ROEBUCK class, who have long preyed upon the public in open violation of the law. The proposed change will be no bounty to them. It will, in fact, be quite the reverse, inasmuch as the amount of their profits will be reduced in the ratio of the diminished taxes. Four shillings per quart upon gin might encou rage smuggling; but let the duty be only one shilling, and the smuggler would be compelled to apply himself to some more honest or more desperate undertaking. This is precisely the case with the cheap radicalism of the day. Every kind of newspaper will now be subject ed to a penny stamp, and, as it would not pay to sell the smallest stamped sheet at threehalfpence or even two pence, the trade of the ROEBUCKS is at an end. The penny charge was a convenient sum. It suited every costermonger and chimneysweep—every charwoman and oysterwench—who had the ambition to patronise a " weekly print" of their own—one congenial to their taste, written by quack and humbug to enlighten the la dies and gentlemen who compose the useful classes. Any sum above a penny must therefore alter the case asto nishly. Twopence is a leap too high—thre e p enc e, be sides being extravagant, is in most cases impracticable. What ! pay the price of two glasses of gin for a single newspaper, when the perusal of the Chronicle or the Tap Tub can be had at any time for a halfpenny ! This would be foolish in the extreme ! About the dimensions of the journals we are in hopes. that the dispute will be adjusted. The Chancellor ought to yield ;. but, if not, the Times has only to increase its single sheet, or reduce by one inch or so its present one, and print doubles regularly. This last would be driving a coach and four through the scheme, and set Mr. SPRING RICE'S pitiful enmity at defiance: A word as to the other items. The loss of £20,000. by the i new arrpgements of the Postoflice !up pose, irnavoidable i .and the •absurd South Sep duties are very properly abolished ; but the reduction of the pro. bate duty, to the amount of £20,000; abschite <The probate &Ay may be a hardship, because in principle,-as a source of taxation, it is unequal and un just, nod it ought to be swept away altogether 'lint this nibbling at it is the most childish policy viir , ewer tressed. WbO in the nation will care, or will feel, or can possibly be benefitted by the reduction of so trifling a sum The same objection applies to " insurances .on farming buildings." A boon of £15,000 is to be gi ven to at least eight millions of persons connected with or depend ant upon agriculture ! How much each of these persons is to save we should like to hear Mr. RICE explain , It would not purchase more than one pair of shoestrings annually for the half of them ! Was there ever such wretched legislation as this seen before ? The cost of the new polices which the insurance offices will I;ve to provide will be much greater than the sum saved, and the farmer will have nothing to be thankful for but the trouble of wearing a pair of shoes out, cr losing those of his horse, in going to the neighbouring town to exchange the documents--spending ten shillings in saving three ! This conies of importing a Chancellor of the Exchequer from Cork, in Ireland! But the duty on " tax carts and flies" is to be reduced. This also, we suppose, is for the benefit of the farmer. We did not know that farmers rode to market in taxed carts; as for "flies" they are chiefly used in airing phy sic, in mortal vials, on the cliffs of Brighton and Rams gate. Fat dowagers and nursery maids, debauchees near the turnpike of the last stage, and other sweet rem nants peculiar to hospital towns, are dragged along in vehicles called " flies," but the farmer is as Innocent of any such amusements as he is of flying in the air. All that lie is to receive from this remarkable budget is the half shoestring as before mentioned. His distresses are admitted ; his embarrassed and critical circumstances are made honourable mention of annually in the King's speech; but, like a hungry man expecting food when he Holds out his hand, he is favoured with the Penny Ma- gazine and a cayenne lozenge. Lord BROUGHAM Sypplies the one•and Mr. RicE the other. Is this the way that the best portion of the British po pulation should be treated by his Majesty's government ? But what can they expect frou.p:n udministration which is essentially . 'lrish---whielt is under Irish influence--and which has no sympathies in common with the people of this country ? Why is the British farmer struggling with insolvency, and his labourer a pauper ?. Simply because such men as Mr. RICE are at the helm 'of public. affairs, and dare not compel the landlords of Deland to maintain , their own poor. The poverty of .Ireland is the curse of England, The ignorance and boundless extortion of the Irish landowners ate : the causes of our ruined agriculture and the destitution of the English labourer., Compelthe landtordi‘ on the, other sicle'of the water to maintain their own poor, and the price of provisions would advance ton . wholesome rate of remuneration. Compulsory support would lead to profitable labour, and the idle would, be beneficially employed who are now beggars in both islands. This is the only way of correcting the worst evils of Ireland, and doing justice to the English farmer, Were this done the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER might keep his‘"cissurance" duty and his "flies" to him self; and if he chose to turn, market gardener he might ride in his " tax-cart " without gru m blin g , or f ear . Till this is done justice will never be, rendere.d to the culti vators of our soil. Our over-taxed population, and our poor-law-fed labourers are brotight intocompetition with the under-taxed landlords, and .ill .fed or. rather starved peasantry of Ireland. The two classes ,to be equal in the British market must be placed upon an equality of taxa- . tion. They must be equally. rated to the . poor. How is this to be accomplished ? , We.tnp bere wbat is the We, in asking such a question of.such men as Mr. RlCE—the financier of the whigs—tbe - autlior of the snip•like bud get we have dissected--- 7 the statesman who would sell newspapers as they do butter in Cambridge by'the inch —and who in the dearth of arithmeticians—the scarcity of MICFIAEL CAS3l.og—is Chancellor of the Kxchequer • for Great Britain in 1836. , The death of old RUTHVEN, whom no one who knew the original could call " memberfor •Dubliu" without laughing,was, as DANIEL who deserted•him . on his death bed would say, miette convenient ! He died just in, time to avoid being a , witness of the disgrace to which matchless impudence, bat-faced lying,-. and, reckless perjury on the part of persons calling. themselves his constituents have brought his colleague. It is adniitted on all sides'that DANIEi O'CONNELL, the master of his majesty's ministers, has virtually aban 7 doned his seat for Dublin, or rather like- a sensible but unsavoury dog has given leg bail rather than undergq _ _ _ the disparaging ordeal of being kicked down stairs. A six-and-eight-penny attorney of the name of SULLIVAN, which name is new to us, and ‘vhose voice, much to his credit, has not been heard in the House, of Commons, has since the election been the representative of Kil kenny, as the warming pan of Mr. O'CONNELL7‘ This worthy person has accepted the Irish Chiltern Hundreds, and has gone back to his three-legged stool, and his manufactory of briefs for clients of suspected crime, in order to make room for, the "goblin damned," or as Sir WALTER describes him under the shade of another rogue's name:— " And Bertram stood amid the crew The master fiend that Milton drew." We take for, granted that these preparations have not been made for nothing* ot• too soon. Dublin must be given up. It has been held ,by the agitator as the ava ricious miser clings to tre6Stire.more tenaciously b ecau s e _ _ it has been audaciously and, diShonestly - procured. He has struggled for Dublin like a desperate madman. It was the goal of his ambition. He was prouder of its . name, than words can convey, simply, because it was during the greater part of his life time immeasurably be yond his hopes. His friends bought, bribed,,lied, anti swore him into the seat; and he has imitated them in defending it. But all to no purpose. Truth and justice have prevailed. A favourable committee have decided against his claims, simply, because they Were protestant Englishmen, who, notwithstanding their political pre judices, could not as jurymen; lend themselves to a , ju dicial fraud, or submit to be fiired lawyers , sighing, like frogs in dry weather, for the , promised and congenial' rains of government patronage: They have had an arduous but an honourable task; 'when they are to be requited remains to be decided: ' But who is to pay fdr this elaborate and expensive en quiry ? We say nothing:as •to the expense of the dis graceful commission, for that, every body knows, must be paid by the public. We book that as a clear loss against the country. But who is to pay for the recent scrutiny before the committee? If Messrs. WEST and . HAMILTON be declared the sitting members, surety the committee will decide that the defence of the sitting members against the petition, considering. the mode in which the defence was conducted, was both frivolous and vexatious. In this case, O'CONNELL Will be saddled with at least £20,000. If, on the other band he has . only to pay his own expences, he must disburse £10,000. , Where is even this last sum to be procured? • DANIEL, has not the money. In the RAPIIAEL business'it was proved that he had not a shilling at his bankers which did not come from his dupe. Since that period he has had no opportunity of selling seats. He can have no balance remaining from the rent. He must be as the city folks say, "hard up." How, then, can he be ex pected to pay any portion of the costs of the Dublin elec tion ? There is a wny; and that way we strongly suspect is open to DANIEL. It was on a former ocdasion op en t o a patriot, equally honest and, respectable—we mean Mr. WHITTLE HARVEY, who received from Mr. EDWARD. ELLICE, their political secretary of the treasury, £5OO to assist him in conducting the Colchester election, which £5OO, or the greater part of it, HARVEY had the good sense to put into his own pocket. • If DANIELIiARVEY then had £5OO for i his share—he being.a comet without a tail--hovr much more shoUld be the reward of DANIEL O'CONNELL with 4 tgil of thirty five joints, and sweeping the wholesurface of Ireland, with its seven millions of paPisii, and some eight hun dred thousand protestants, as the lying priests and'their subaltern lying agents represent that, country -to "be ? Good GOD! how the people of England are deceived! Wherever patriotism rears its self-anointed head, its voice, like the tricks of the juggler, impose upon mil lions. WAKLEY, the fire king, draws his ribbons and the bumpkins stare ; HtmE' gulls the rope by professions of economy which they admire, purely;„ because they do not understand them. He makes motley by his patriot ism—they ate amazed—he laughs. They are generous, he fills his pockets. • DANIEL O'CONNELL beats them all. We feel confident that Mr: CURRIE, the mayor, will, not again for some considerable time call any public meeting to promote the views of Mr. JAMES BRANCKER., and, the . knot of senile busy-bodies. who hang by the. skirts of the sugar-baker.. On reflection, the MAYOR must regret. being dragged, into so disagreea ble a posi tion as he was on Friday. last, where he had no power, and where he was treated with marked disrespect, not by his political opponents,. but by the score , or two of un- I washed vagabondslcblefly I rish, who had been summoned. .to cheer the self-constituted leader_ of, the - Liverpool radicals. His worship must be master of a very small purpose of insulting the House of Peers share of understanding if he imagined that any meeting, wecannot Conceive on vv' called, fat the pa ss over quietly or without encountering a col lisionlndeed, hat ground he called any such meeting considering the few of sentiments. and unworthy names which attached b • • • to the requisition., Mr. CURRIE, we believe, passes fora whig of the old school, and, therefore, he mustk nowthat any attempt on, the part of the people to t.' ins Tate one branch of the legislature to interfere or question the prerogatives of the other is conduct of an unwarrantable and unconstitu tional nature. That this was the avowedobject of the meeting could not have been concealed from the discern ment of his worship, and, therefore;on no grounds, even had the requisition been signed by four hundred instead of forty persons, would he have been justified, as the chief Inag'iSt.te, in summoning or presiding over it.
