THE REFORM MOVEMENT.

ST. ANNE'S, WESTMINSTER.
Yesterday a meeting of the parishioner, of St.
Anne's, Soho, was held in the vestry-room, to ascertain the
sentiments of tile inhabitants wiih respect to the declaration
of Lord John Rusaell, that the people of this country do not
require ally further parliamentary reform; and whether, in
fact., their upliiione were nit in oeposition to that di clara-
tion. Both the m. other-, for Westminster were prevent.

The amendment having been seconded and put, and lost,
the otigioal motion was carried, only one ',emu holding up

Mr. OILAST proposed a resolution in (Lenoir of a petition
to parliement fir the "Neale contwieeil in the first rew'u.ion,
and requesting the menders for Weetradieti r to pupteirt the
prayer tat root. The rfeelutioa was carried unaininously.
Sir D. L. levees, M.P., being called on to addle es the
meeting, was lectured with I wit cheers, tweed with olissetot
from one or two persons. He said teat he was not distracted
or diwourvited in the unfenced degree by the few discerdunt

had taken place in Europe, an-I that they would mani-

leave no doubt of their wishes on the subiect

in error when he e iid that neither the middle nor the burn-

middle class was anxious we a vary great change ; and as to
the working classes b. ing desired' to agitate the matter,

which was agitated by the chartists, he hoped and
believed that the time would come when it would he carried

Mitgland now. instead of being in the van of the mains ot
Europe with respect to political freedotn, was one of the
most backward. (Hear, hear.) As Prince Metternich and
M. Ouind had b. en mistaken with respect it. the wishes o
their respective countries, and lied their governments over-
thrown, so might the prime minister of his country be mis-
taken with regard to the wants and feelings of its people.

ness with compreheneiveneos in the terms. Ile was net sur-
prised at peremis saying that by adopting the principle of

whom were artisans and clerks, and many miters who from

At this lodging bowie the old people are pro-
vided with everything they n quire, anlngemeing
hewing been previously made for their accommodation.
Indeed the arrival of emigrant chips is a matter of general
anxiety among the Irish here ; and it is well known that the

kitchen, before they are taken up stairs to be placed near
the ore akhodtable, After some ten or twelve days' rest,

The Irish, as a body, on coming to New York immedi
itely seek employment. The young women reotily find
places if they are at all clever and industrious. They plo-
tter to know all about housework, caking, and washing,
but at find make hut a miserable piece of week of it. They
are 21nerally received into the families of the poorer and
middling classes of American housekeeper., where they
are kindly treat, d and instructed in their dude* by the nii*-
Vetoes of the families. They pass from one piece to another,
generally getting higher wages as th, y become more ekillul,
sod soon ,ease to knnwthe pressure of personal want Alm net
without exception their lirot earnings are placed upon their

isotkings, and gloves, silk., and parasols. With these they
repair to early mos on Sunday a, and after service remain in
the streets seeking 2111, making acquaint ncea by the
dozen. The °unlade of the Raman chapels is the
general rendezvous of the lower Irish, and the streets
are actua ly intipaesable fur the throng. The next desire is
to send flume let their relations. base come out on' after
the other, until, if pessitile, the whole family r -unites in

hie, and the great numhor of pubhc works conietautly going
on generally affords them week and weges. It is a common
thing to two notices posted in the neighhourh- uel of
the wharfs, whieb state that 500 or 1,000 labourers
are wanted on such or such a railw ny, and "all tawny*, are
paid to the plane of destination." lit thus way large numbeis
are constantly absorbed. D. in a singular tact that the lrislt
emigrarto lien the only classes that teeilnly perform the hard
work of the country. The American, are industrious on
their farms and in their workshop. and tactorin, hut they
do nut like to turn into a ditch or swamp, exc.*•

All tine dirty work about the city of New York, cleansing
sewers and decks, sweeping the streets, carrying brick, and

chiefly by the Iri-h. As own as they acquit.- a little money

whig and democrattc pieties 'are so nit sly divided, and so
often alternete in power, that both seek to Increase their
strength be. the addition of the foreign vote. It is curious to
observe whit influences affect them Irish politicians.
Some years ago, .when the genet De Witt Clin-
ton, a man as we would say here " • head and
shoulders" above all his contemporaries was a candidate
be election to the office of woverner of this state, she Irish
voters often carried him through triumphantly. Their at-
tacomeni arose from the tact that, while he was mayor of
the city of New Yak, he decided on a particular occasion, in
a cuutt in which he presided, that a Roman cathol c clergy-
man, when on the Ennd as a attune, was nut bound to
reveal the a Cr, to of the cunt; esional, however much oho
evidence was necessary in the ease in which he testifin d. The
priests and their tollowers never forget Mr. Canton for tbi • '
decision, which ha, become a precedent in our courts.
More nen ntly, G•iverwir Seward, a succemor rat Mr. Clito
ton, and a whig of omaiderable ability, endeavoured to
pin back the Irish (who, on the death of their idol,
nail gone liver to the dem writ parry), by recommending
that we should support schools to he taught in the language
of the tor.ign emigrants, and where their sectarian eduea-
non might be centinued. lit elan advocated repeal, and be.
came the intimate friend o the leading priests and bialunre
of the Ii euish church. This was each a h aerated bid for
popularity that it di-gusted the public, and he fell from his
offictel pedeetnl, not seen o rise again.
In the view of these party seductions the Irish have be•
come quite tensible of the value of their virtue, and
in this city they occupy, as a return fur their support,
a prepondn rating amount of small offices, and much to the
n'isennutent of the 110112 Americans it must be admitted.
Theo, of the 500 watchmen' or police in thia city, the Irish
have a very large proportion. They are also employed about
the pubbc buildings, parks, and quarantine. They very fre-
quently slip into the emporation as aldermen ant assistant
einenten, and in various ways get mlitical remuneration for
political services. This is not the case in the i nteri es, however.
We lied among our population very f w Irishmen who ar
rive at an advanced age. It is quite rare to find among
them an old man. We attribute this to the hresking down
of their constitutions before they leave In land and their free
habit mitre alter they arrive here. Yet, strange to say, they
are remarkably ennui of themselves, when they get " used
to" the States. They make mere nurse about their personal
mercy and convenie nee then any other class of our people.
They ere dreadfully afraid of the hot sun, they fill)
the cars and omnibuses, and make a tremendous
splutter when they get in and out. They plume themselves
on their consequence, and eittnm talk of how they'll "thrash
the metres." In ono of their newspapt rs they contended
that they ought to own this country, for they took mach
trouble to come here while the native born are here by
chance! They are notoriously (*Alden in their promises:
all smites for those when friendship they seek, all insolence
to those whom they can tread upon. Th y are quarrelsome
and turbulent. They are constantly • mowed in riots upon
the public work,, and the moment their stomachs are filled
they forget all obligations.
lois is a picture of the Irish, and a true one. It is one
that no party paper in the United States would dare publish.
One thing is certain, that the treedorn of Ireland, if achieved
by the present generation, would present a most revolting
spectacle of government, if those wile remain at home are
like the majority of those who come here. As to any assis-
tance they may give to their revolting brethren at home, we
proonunce the ex,neetation moonshine. They will talk
loudly and do nothing. They could not he induced to return
to Ireland, even to procure the "Repale."

DCALTN, JUNE 11.

Mr. John O'Connell will read to-rrerrOW"Rtebaais
of the proposed union," at the meeting of the associa-
tion. He will also withdraw the notice of suspension,
and keep the "old house" open until the opinion of
the hierarchy, clergy, and laity be freely obtained on
the policy of the new organisation. The rules agreed to
at the sereral conferences were, I hear, sent off last
evening to the more prominent members of the asso-
ciation re-iding in the provinces ; arid according as
they assent or dissent, so will the projected league
perish or progress. The chief question of difference
between the Old and Young Ir.landers is on the in-
troduction of religious matters. This difficulty h.is
been at length solved by a sort of juste ieo
adoption. Religion is to be excluded, unless where
it is connected with a civil grievance.
The great subject of political remark yesterday
evening and this forenoon is the extremely captious
tone, the subdued sentiments, of the ultra.repeal
organs. The hotter spiel's of the clubs are openly
speaking their discontent.
It is still rumoured that Mr. Mesgher will be
I nrre-ted t i.morrow on a eliaige of felooy, under the
late act, fur the speech deliver. d by him at the meet-
ing of the Irish Confederation on Tuesday evening
last. The "Treason Felony Act" provides that, in
Cases of violation of its provisions by "open and
advised speaking," the individuals so offending must
be made amenable to justice within six days after the
comMssion of the offence; to-morrow, therefore, will
decide whether the rumour is founded in fact or other-
wise. The establishment of Mr. Williams, tea dealer,
in Dame-street, was this day tot illy destroyed by fire.
The agricultural letter in the Belfast Chronicle I
speaks iu very confident terms of the nr °specie of
the flax crops in Down an 4 Antrim, a circumstance
no less important in a national than a local point of
view, as the limn trade of the north of Ireland has
long been a branch of trade of great importance to the
empire.

Indeed. the coot of its carriage to London, and its inutility

ANOTHER UNREFORMED GRAMMAR SCHOOL.—The
governors of the ilawkiturn Grammar School held a special
meeting on Thursd iv last, to cons,der the state of the insti-

Se .cral meetings of this nature have b.eu herd during the

of scholars having dwindled down to four. 'the maximum,

ach iol provides that there shall be a master and under mast-r,
but there has been no under-master for a long time. The
desideratum in the manage anent of the school is, that its

to be indifferently attended to. At the meeting on Tours
