IRELAND.
Desz.nr, Iktsv 4.
The confederation was very well behaved last
night. A report of its proceedings will be found
below.
The " Wolfe Tone "confederates in Waterford have
issued several hundreds of green and orange tickets
for a soiree to the " martyrs." By special desire the
name of Mr. Mitchell has been omitted, and the dis-
asters of Limerick avoided. Well had it been for the
&Infield Club and the cause of the confederation that
Limerick had followed the wisdom of Waterford.
Sunday will be the day consecrated to eloquence and
freedom.
Mr. Mitchell denies the imputations of the lYppe-
rary Vindicator. He did not surrender the confiden-
tial letter to Dr. Kennedy ; but, being unskilled in
" ecclesiastical matter*, he inclosed it to the Rev.
Mr. Kenyon, who headed the same over to the bishop.
Did Mr. Mitchell violate the solemn seal, notwith-
standing his exculpation?
The bishop and clergy of Ferns have prepared an
addre to her Majesty, praying her to assemble the
Irishss
parliament. Ferns is the fourth Irish
that has adopted this course.
The ballot for the list of fortv-eight names, from
which the jury to try Mr. Meagfrer is to be selected,
took place this day, in the Crown-office of the Queen's
Bench. About one-third of the names appear to be
those of Roman Catholics, or Protestants of liberal po-
litics. The other two-thirds are what are termed
" decided Conservatives."
(In Saturday next the agents on both sid are to
(attend before the 'proper officer, to reduce es the list.
The cibwn and the traverser will then strike off
twelve names each. The remaining twenty-four will
constitute the jury panel, and the first twelve who
answer to their names on the day of trial will form
the jury on this important case.
The city Is placarded with the counter-proclama-
tion of the council of the confederation, and vast
1 numbers of copies have been circulated throughout
he entire country.
It is stated that several prosecutions, under the
Treason Felony Bill, hare been determined upon by
the government.
The Cork E.raniiner of yesterday evening contains
the following announcement :
itlitEV. STATE l'uosecutioNs.—We are given to under-
stand that informations have been sworn against certain of
the gentlemen who addressed the open air meetingit

This association held its first meeting since the paring

mitment of the agent of Loa Morningtoa for contempt, in
having cut down trees and received fines, in slisobedienee
of the injonction which had been granted, restraining Lord
Mornington front interfering with the estates which were
the subject* of the suit.—Mr. Willoock objected that tits in •
junction was confined to Lord Mornington alone, and did
not extend to his servants or agents.—The Master of the
Rolls thought the objeetion valid. It was usual in cases of
this sort to extend the injunction top the servants and agents
of the defendant, and he could not ni a party for doing

therefore refuse the motion ; but, under the circumstances,

CLauers Aer.—This was a petition by the cai d potation
of
Louth, that a suns of money whiche had been p into court
hy a railway company for tho purchase o said to
belong to them might be paid out to the o f landsorporation. It
contracte
app:ared that the railway company had d fur the
purchase with the corporation of Louth, who were in posses-
sion of the land and the title deeds, but that since the
trustees
eon-
tract the land had been claimed by
of the school of Louth, who had commenced proceedings
againet the corporation for the reeovery of the title deeds.
It Was now objected that the court could not allow the
money to be paid out until the question as to whom the pro-
perty belonged had been decided. In support of the appli-
cation the 79th section id the Lands Clauses Act was re-
ferred to, by which it is declared that the party in poesessioin
shaltbe considered as the owner unless the contrary shall be
shown to the satisfaction of the court. —The Vice. Chancellor
said he culd not make the order. The court had bail no
opportunity' of sati.fying itself as to the title of the party in
Ipossession; be should, herenfoaction allow the petition to stand
over, with liberty to bring.

On Wean( &day night a public tuveting or Electors,

marks Mr. Bettie, concluded by again propoeing the reso-
lution. Mr. Jour; Kmox seconded the motion, which was
unanimously agreed to.
Mr. M•Wo is proposed the second resolution

elecor in the of Glasgow and the United Kingdm who
wast favourable city
to an extension of the franchise to voneo for
ward, not only for the sake of the unenfranchised, but fur
the en(anchiae.l themselves. This reeoiution went the
whole length of universal suffrage. He knew that many
parties would start at this radical proposition. (liear.) For
his own part, he was inclined to treat kindly with those par-
ties. The traiiiing which they hail ell had from their in-
ancy had a great effect on every mate. mind. That trainiag,
in general, had been towards exclatiees ; and therefore
when they found them coming forward, and bringing foe-
ward views, though not altogether Lis length, he was the
mote disposed to go along with them. lie knew that many
men of infite nee and great mir.d were nut prepared to go go

not yet up to the mark. lie believed that few ponies dbe
parted the abstract right of every man to a voice in the re-
presentation of the country. VI ry few parties denied that
every man who paid taxes ought to have a voice in the
choosing of those who were to impale those taxes. Now, be
held that what wasan abstract right ss as never politically
wrong. He believed that it would be found that ail experi-
ments made in representation, however wild they might
hove seemed previously to certain pert ies, as tending to over.
throw all established institutions, if conductof the I
ed on
right ptinciphr, had tended to the good
state, and Lot to its confusion and overthrow. After
some further remarks by Mr. *Gavin, rS. Nichol stconded the resolution in a long 'Treat,
in which he res!ed his mein arguments on relig grouads.
He disapproved of physical fo
re because no good cause re-
quired such means to be gaiud. The uion u
nimeusly carried.
Mr. RonSILT SIMPSON said he rose to move the following
resolution :
That we petition the 11onw of Common' to urge upon the preseat
or any other administration the imperative necessity V introduen 5,

He would not detain them with any lengthened remark
ons on
the resolution, as it would speak for itsele The post in
which he now stood was a new one to him. It might be
asked, what was he doing there. He 1.110 there because he
held it to be his duty to he there. It wan a duty based on a
command which he held V. be of universal authority', " Man,
love thy neighbour as thyself."
Mr. J. AITKEN);KAD Moved IS an aendment, " That the

Morrison then 'tiered a petition, founded on the above reso-

be requests:o to support it.—Mr. .1. Walker said the Lforeord
Provost had voted for the ' gagging hill,"
unworthy of the confidence of the eitire ne of Glasgow. Ho
thought they should at nd the petition to some other mem-

Institution, exempting them from the pions aymen the Act
and other local rates under the provis of
6 & 7 Vie., chap. 36. The clause on which the
society claimed exemption provides " thatsocietiesestablished
exclusively for the purpeses of science, literature, and the
fine arts, should be exempt from the charge of c uontd,
y,
borough, parochi..l, and other local rates, in respect of lint
y,
buildings, &c., occupied by them for the transaction of their
business, and for carrying into effect their purposes, provided
that such society shall be supported by voluntary contribu•
lions, and shall not make any division or bonus unto or be-
tween asp of its members." It was contended by Mr.
liuddlesne that the Russell Institution eame within the
meanicgto of this act, and that it was entitled in every
respect to the enefit of it. Mr. Brayley, th se-
cretary, , was cablled, and from his evidence ite ap-
peared that the institution was established by •
society of gentlemen for scientific and literary purposes.
Mr. Bodkin, on behalf of the appellant, contended that the

that it was not contemplated by frame the
society of gentlemen, who established an institution of this
kind for their own personal amusement and gratification,

was instituted were for collecting b,oks, periodicals, and the
daily journals, and the members attended there for the en •
joyment of reading those newspapers, and to get cheap
news.—The Aseistant-Judge observed that newspapers had
nothing to do with " science, literature, and the fine arts."

hoped that ere long it would be wiped off the statute.book.—
Mr. Huddlestone replied, and the learned Assistant Judge
decidril against the respondents on all the points raised.
The institution was not one for science, litersture, and

STIRLING.
On Tuesday a public meeting took place at Stir-
ling, I'. J. Tranuair, Ems., in the chair The J usticiary
Court Room was crowded to exec's, not one available inch of
room being left unoccupied. The large assembly compre-
hended not only an it:a-noose number of the unentranchised •
among the inhabitants, but al-n a great many of the electors,
and of the more wealthy of the inhabitants. The follow-
ing resolutions were moved, seconded, end unanimously
agreed to:
I. That being deeply impressed with • eonvi,dion of the evils
arising from cla." legishition, and the suffin ing thereby inflicted
upon our industrious kllqw-ects, this meeting emphatically
farms that a large msjorify of the people of this country are un-
justly excluded from that full, f. dr, and tree eserciae of the elec.
Um Irani:him to ik bleb they are entitled by the great principle f
C'hrtation equity, and even ulini by the British nstitution; for,
agreeably to Judge Blackstone's Cominentariss, "N subject of Eng.
bind can be con.t ruined to ray any aid or taxes, even for the realm or
the support of the novernnent, such as gee hawed by hie con-
sent, or that of ha repreFentarl,e in pailiament.
2. That this ineeting repudiates every oth, means to obtain the
complete einnineltio ['lent of the people than there of a peaceful cha-
racter ; any other than those which appeal to the moral, religious,
and intellectual setae of men, it wiequivecully condemns.
3. That a petitio. praying tar the complete enfranchisement of the
male adult population of the United Kingdom, be drawn up, and
signed by the Inhabitants of sterling, and entrusted to our worthy re-
presentative, J. B. emith, hart.
1. That this numerous meeting of electors and inhabint. of
the burgh of Stirling rejoice to know that the liberalother membersta of the
Home of Commons have formed themselves into un association for
the purpose of procuring an extension of the elective franchise, re-
duction of the national expenditure, and equalisation of the taxes •,
but, while it highly approves of the objects of the association, it would
most respectfully, yet emphatically, oonsey to these members that in
the opinion of this meeting no measure short ot complete suffrage
will now be satisfactory to the nation ; and it would therefore recom-
mend to that body at once to declare thernaelves in favour of the
complete enfranehi•ornent of the people, which declaradon it doubts
not will call forth not only the auppmt mu sympathy of thc working
climes, but also of a very large and rapitlly-inCressing number of the
present constituency.

interfere in Italy against the Austrians. This report
was first published in the Daily News on Wednes&y.

of the National Assembly yesterday, and the whole of
the speech of M. Dupont de l'Eure, on resigning on its
behalf, as the chief, the powers and functions of the
Provisional Government into the hands of the sove-
reign legislature, the Consul market recovered f
