THE Iltlsll CONFEDERATES.—Last night a public
meeting of the friends of the above GUM took place at the
institution, John-street, Tottenham-court-road. Lmg before
the hour of meeting the body of the hall and galleries were
densely crowded.—Mr. Nolan, prior to th- proceedings, read
from a morning paper the report of the alleged collision wick
end detest of the troops in Ireland. The announcement was
received with loud and prolonged cheers.—Mr. W. Meat
having been called to the chair, Mr. Walton moved the lust
r solution :

That in the opinion of this meeting the present government of Ire-
Lind has been not only prejudicial to the Irish joopl but injurious to
the whole people of Great Britain, and fully justified the demand for a
repedl of the leguilative union.

lie said, that he bad not attended a public meeting for two
years, and only now came forward lu cause he NM the
government desirous to put down public meetings by force of
arms. Ile considered that the conduct of government to
Ireland was injurious to the best interests of the British
emoire. If government only existed to resist all measures of
reform, only consenting to reform when the standard of re-
bellion was raised, why then the government committed
treason against the people.—Mr. P. M'Orath said, that he
believed these were dangerous times ; there was ro danger
to them in the body of the meeting, but there was for those
on the platform, for every meeting was now attended by tho-c
harpie', the detective, to take down what was said; but he
was happy to see, on this occasion, the government re-
porter was on the platform, who would put nothing
into their mouths they did not say. With regard to Ireland
he said the people of a nation never rose in rebellion a geinst
a government which governed them properly. He would
say that the Irish people ought to have • repeal of the union.
It now seemed that the volcano of rebellion had burst forth
in that country. (Loud and continued cheering ) The
government had the power of Reining a great and glorious
victory by conciliating instead of coercing the Irish people,
arm thus avert the horrors of civil war.—The resolution was
then put and carried unanimously.—Mr S. M. Kidd pro-
posed:
That the rights of the subject are as constitutional and conservative
as the rights of the crown or the prerng dives of parliament; and as
the present administration had not adopted social remedies for the
acknowledged griev.liteniut Ireland, the attempt by military despotism
to suppress the irmloin of the pens and the liberty of the aubject was
unwire, impolitic, and unjust.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. Davit, and unanimously
adopted.—Tne usual courtesies were then awarded to the
chairman; and after three lusty cheers for repeal and the
like for the charter the meeting quietly dispersed.
Ilielf:fifiTs, YESTERDAY. DEATII OF AN INFANT
mast AIISENIC.—Before Mr. Bedford, at the Malpas Arms,
Charles street, Grosvenor-Kure, touching the death of
Mary Ann Theresa Dore, aged four months. The three mil
was the danebter of Mr. Dore, a servant in the employ of
Sir Alexander Spearman, a county magistrate, and during
the last two months had been afflicted with the thrush, in
consequence of which she wan taken to the Isle of Wight.
On the 13th inst., before stating, her mother sent for Mr.
Woolmer, a surgeon, to know if the child could be removed
with safety. Mr. Wunlnser being out of town, his assistant
attended, and thought t'le infant could be removed without
any danger. Ile sent a bottle of medicine, a portion of
which war admiuistered before they started. On tee journey
another portion was given, and when they reached Hyde,
a change was observed in the appearance of the in-
fant. A surgeon was called in, and he rent a pow& r
and a bottle of medicine, and advised the imm..diate
return to London. The mother left that evening with her
child, and ret ailed to her lodg'ngs, at the house of her pa-
rents, on the following morning. The assistant of Mr.Wooluo r
again attended, and perceiving the child to be worse, ob-
tained the assistance of Mr. Diver, a surgeon, who said the
child could not survive, and it died during the night. Mr.
Diver again attended, and said he could not give a certificate
unless a post mortem examination of the hs,ely was made.
The grandmother of the deceased refused to allow the opera
tion, and ultimately desired Mr. Diver to leave the house.
When Mr. Woolater returned from the countryAe made a
post mortem examination; the intestines were highly in-
flam d, and contained sufficient arsenic to cause death. Mr.
Woolmer and Mr. Diver signed an open certificate stating
the probable cause of death.—Mr. Rodgers, lecturer on che,
mietry, stated that he analysed the contents of the stomach,
and in every experiment he detected arsenic. Ile found two
grains, which was quite sufficient to cause death.—lnspector
Marco, of the B division, who hid ordered the body to
be exhumed, produced several bottles which had been
given to him by Mr. Dore and Mrs. Spry, the grand-
mother of the deceased.— the Coroner directed Mr.
Rodgers to examine the bottles and the remainder
of • powder, and the inquiry was adjourned for an
hour for that purpose.—At four o'clock Mr. Ito lgers said
he had very earetully analysed the bottles, but could not de-
tect any tracer of arsenic —At the conclusion of his evidi nee
Mrs. Spry made a statement, being previously cau'ioned by
the coroner, which was in effect that nothing tad been ad-
ministered to the child, except the medicine prescribed by
Mr. Woolater and Mr. Bloxham.—The coroner proposed an
adjournment for the purpose of having the attendance of Mr.
Bliixharn, and also to afford an opportunity to the police for
procuring further evidence.—The jury then adjourned the
inquiry until Monday next. Alter the jury hail withdrawn
a cab was procured, and the mother of the child and the
grandmother were conveyed to the station-house, and will be
taken before the magistrates at Westminster this day,
charged on suspicion with having caused the death of the de-
ceased.
