From the statements in the Cork, Limerick, Bel-
Int, and, in fact, nearly all the provincial papers re-
ceived this morning, it would appear thst the storm
ei Wednesday and Thursday was severely telt in all
pars of Ireland. In C.wk and Queenstown haebosre
the gale was ly felt, and some damage was
experienced by the shipping, but not to any very
matrial extent; many of the roads in the neigh-
bourhood of the city were so flooded as to be ren-
dered almost impassable. In Limerick, on Thursday
crecing, the Shannon rote to an almost unprece-
dented height ; the basement stories of the houses
in ter ral streets were filled with water. The Gal-
way mail coach, on its way from Ennis to Limerick,
and earryiog eleven passengers, was in imminent
risk of being overwhelmed, at Cratloe, in conse-
quence of the embankments giving way and the
waters covering the country for miles in event,
giving it the appearance al a large lake. Ultimately
the passengers had to leave the coach, and wads
through four feet deep of water for a considerable
distso.,,s before they reached a lilacs of eaftty ; one
of the horsee was drowned. It ui feared that several
conalties occurred during the night.
Arrangements on an exttlnsive scale are making
for the public meeting to be held in the Rotund° on
the 30th inst., to petition for the abolition of the
duty oe paper. Copies of petitions will be forwarded
to every town and hamlet throughout Ireland, so
that the abolition movement will be made to extend
to every corner of the land.
The 25th instant has been fixed on by the Lord
Mayor for a meoung of the citizens, for the purpose
of " promoting the interests of Ireland in its mann-
famines and industrial remorse in connection with
the Exhibition of Industry of all Nations."

39TIL REGIMINT.7—A detachment of three offioen

is "boo to embark to Ma the Nl*, companies at Hoes
Yost

A public meeting of the York branch of the No-
tional Puliessentery and Financial Reform Abocistion was
held is the FestivalConeert Room, on Friday night, when Sir
J. Wa'malty, M.P., Tindal Atkieson, Esq., and It. S. Slack,
'deeded as a deputation from the parsec society. About one
thoeent persons were wettest in the body of the room sad
is the gallery.
Mr. Alderman LEEMAN wee called to the chair, and,
lasing stated his approval of the principles of the associa-
tion, went on to say Gentlemen, I am anxious to di-
rest the attention of the gentlemen around me to the
wisdom tea. I am &aliens, after the meeting the other
day, that our friends here should help ue, and that this
association should give ss the boas& of its influence and
power, in seeking, at all events, whatever other taxes may
be oblectiosable, that the tax upon windows shall not be
continued after the next session of Parliament. (Applause.)
Sir JOSHUA WALMBLEY aid—You are all aware
that the :utmost amount of support which the principles
advocated by the association base received in the Home of
Commons, has been from 112 members of parliament only,
and that never more then OS have supported those principles
at any one petted. If those principles be just—if they be
sound and konest—there le some defect somewhere. It is
to a certain where that defect is that I think it my dui) to
appear so frequently as I have done before the amesabled
mtlfiow of this country. (Applause.) Do on ever
tangent an
_y large se penman' swan of amorist reform
fors s Demo of 43(awarems droved wader the Imam ego.
ties 1 (N.ver.) Do you ever expect that any arum of
taxation, strictly just and equitable, will emanate hoes a
H ,use of Commons so constituted ? If you do not, set about
to remedy the defect. And how are you to do that? By
doing a simple act of justice—justice to the middle classes—
justice to the upper elms/et—hut jacks to the opproeWl
masking classm. (Applause.) I are peisumied that
there is not one man in this great smoothly but would
rise sad say he is disposed to give ample, full justice le
his fellow man. Then why base the working clsuts bees
so long kept from the tranehie• ? for that is the question
really at issue. Be never any more cajoled by fine speeches,
wherever they may emanate from. Put the party to the
test. Will you, or will you not, support such an extant*n
of the !needle as is laid down by the N dional Rotors'
Amociation ? Let that be the test of men's sincerity. Try
them by that test, and if they fed upon that, believe me,
financial reform with them means only the effect it may
have upon their own pockets. But, gentlemen, we owe this
to our fellow men They pay more than their share of the
taxation of this country. They obey the lawe. They fleit
our battles. We trust them with our property. We
trust them with one children. lacy are our soldkrs,
our sailors, our police-officers; yes, but they are mere than
all these —they are our oktilid artistes and mechanics,
the producers of oar wealth. (Applause.) Then, in the
name of that emaciation, of which I happen to be the
chief officer for the time being, I dem .rei, as an at of
justice—es en act of equity—aye, and something more, as an
act that will be beneficial to every individual, etch and poor,
that the working classes of this country be enfranchised.
(Applause.) You admit their iutelllgestes—yon admit their
skill—you admit their industry—cad you trust them with
your property. lb you think they are not qualified, then,
to say who shall repres-nt them ? Men of Yoh, you who
are renowned throughout ti.e country for your fausiebted-
leak I need scarcely put that question to you. The National
Boform Association, at all times, and emeltr all circumstances
declines to interfere, or to make any reference to particular
Individuals. Therefore it ins nothing of =enviers of par-
liament. But it is your business. You should lock to uses'
things. You should be prepared for these things. how
are you to be prepared? I understand this association
*assists of between three and few hundred members, en ty
man pledged to vote only for a candidate who will go sa far
as Mr. Hume'e motion, and as much farther as he chooses.
(Applause ) If such b 3 the case, you have b. gun the right
scene, but you Ghoul! eatenu at. Taere should nut be
merely three or tour hundred members, bet twice three or
four hundred, and then York would be r presented—AA
people would be eepresented—and York would send a v. ice
to the ministry that they must give parliamentary reform.
Bat how are you to get this ? Not by listenieg to faction, but
by acting uouo pisceiples. Henceforth, liaise nn to the
sweet mop, whether they come from the right hand or from
the left. Whether Pon whig or tory, limes not to them.
Look for a proper maa—look for a man that will support
the principles of this association. Put the test to the
whip—put the test to the tory. Better for you that you
should know your friends from your foes. Let them units
—let whig and tory go together if they please. You be
true to your principles, and you will beat them better.
(Hear.) You have been too long cajoled with their sweet
songs—with the fear of putting out the ministry ; aye, that
has been the shipwteck. Yuu would not 'nest a whtg. No,
no. You would not put out my Lord John ; no, surely not.
Listen no more to such things. Act like else men, carrying
those principles out—acting on el e some policy as you
would in business. You base made up sour minds to a cer-
tain end ; follow it out. Yoe have no other mode of carrying
out fintheiel and parliamentary reform but this—put the
test to the representative. It you have no representa-
tive who will take the test, then sign a requisition to
some man after your own heart. Yon nave many
seek in the country ready to represect you. You will
never got nu of the system but by a full, free, and fair
representation of the people in the House of Cummins. This
is what we de need as a matter of right. It is merely a
question of time. Cow it must, and come it will. (S.r
Joshua thea resumed his seat enudst much applause.)
Mr. M. T. ATLI:WON said Mr. H. Sheen next addressed
the meeting at comiderabte length
Mr. E. P. HOOD mused that the best thanks of all
present be given to the deputation who hod attended.
Captain DARNELL seconded the resolution.
The motto was earned unenimously.
Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY said he should simply thank
the mating. is he did moat gratefully on behalf of toe Imo-
ciatien, and also on brink of the deputation who were
present The vote they had received would cheer them on
their course, and give encouragement to the association which
they represented. lie would, however, beg cum more that
they might bevesomethiog stronger a, their hands than mere
thanks. ("Youshall.") Tee association required their pecu-
niary aid and support, and teemed they should have it from
the people. Onward wee the it course—the franchise, and
justice to our fellow-men. Might their chilli:oar, to whom
he proposed a mite of thanks for his excelleut conduct in the
chair, loop erj their confidence, and might he long deserve
It. (Cheers.)
Mr. ATKINSON seconded the motion, which was carried
mieutivemisly, and the chairman hawks returned thanks, the
meeting 'sparred.— York Ildrald.
