THE IRISH PETITIONS.-..--We were amongst those
who anticipated great things from the meeting at the Royal
Exchange. We did not think that the enthusiasm Which
pervad.d the pioaeedings of the Dublin meeting would
have instantly extended to.. and manifested itself in the
pro% i ices. We regret to find we were mistaken. - Th..
people of Cork, and Waterfprd, and bimprick, and Gal
v,ay, and Belfast, and Derry, ere jtist as much interested
in the i sue of the coming struggle as the people of Dublit.
—yet in none of these places (so far as we are aware)—
has tl.ere been any public demonstra.ion of sympathy, o'
any attempt made to imitate the ncbl example of the
metropolis.—Pr Mimi,

In exposing the enormous falsehoods daily and
nightly issued from the. Tory press with regard to Ire-
land, we do -more than turd), vindicate that libelled
country. The defamation of the Irish people, and
the objects of their choice, is but a means to an
end. That end is the defeat of the cause of re-
form. Toryism is to be replaced in power by a
process hitherto unheard of ix the history of cor-
ruption, for it is little to describe it as a mere
outrage on the Constitution. The chosen repre-
sentatives of the nation are to be hunted out of
the Commons by a scheme of wholesale peti-
tioning against their returns. The costs of this
wholesale petitioning are to be defrayed by public
contribution ; a fund is to be created large enough
to overwhelm every private or local subscription
to defend the seats attacked ; and to amass
such a fund every engine of fanaticism and false-
hood is to be put in motion ; every fraud practised
upon ignorance ; every unprincipled appeal made to
prejudice, bigotry, and passion. Nothing more clearly
denpristrates the daringly unconstitutional character
of the plot that has been laid to eject the Li-
beral Irish majority from -the posts where the efforts
and free suffrages of the people have placed them,
than the audacious system of lying and slandering which
the Tory press has found it necessary to resort to in
order to prepare the way for its reception amongst men
of any decency, or the most elementary acquaintance
with the principles of the Constitution. To gain a sub-
scription to this " sacred fund," as in the blasphemous
cant of the Tories it is termed, the writers in their
journals have not scrupled to affirm that the consti-
tuency of Ireland is composed of the members of a
secret and treasonable confederacy, with an oath of
massacre for its bond of union, that this atrocious
gang has actually returned to Parliament mem-
bers of its own body, and that there is,. in fact,
no way left to redeem Ireland from the horrors of
the wildest anarchy, aggravated by the fiercest perse-
cution, but to take all means, lawful and unlawful, to
oust these odious miscreants from their seats. Again,
to persuade men to cast their gifts into this holy
treasury, the Times tries its syren voice in the mu-
sical accents for which that Journal is so renowned,
and the representatives of Ireland are branded in its
decent columns as "a packed and rotten majority"—as
" Mr. O'Connell's journeymen agitators"—as the offal
and " refuse" of their country. Now, we do most
readily admit that to thrust out of the British House of
Commons men of the character drawn either by Times
or Standard of the Irish Liberal Members, would be not
merely a justifiable proceeding, but one in which no
good subject, not to say good Protestant, could hesitate
for a moment to aid with his best efforts. Daring, un-
wonted, unconstitutional, and revolutionary as the pro-
posal of wholesale petitioning is, we are far from say-
ing that the all-important object of excluding from the
Legislature of
.this Protestant State a band of despe-
radoes, consisting of the dregs of Irish society, and
hound by an execrable oath to shed Protestant blood
like water, would not fully justify the plan. Tremen-
dous evils require remedies on the same tremendous
scale ; and we frankly admit that when Mr. O'Connell
takes his seat in the House of Commons, surrounded
by a more abandoned crew than environed Cataline—
miscreants without a rag of character, of bankrupt for-
tunes, without a principle of morality or religion,
bound by nefarious obligation to sweep Protestantism
from the land—it is no time to scrutinize with too nice
an eye -the rectitude or propriety of any defensive mea-
sure recommended. But let us reverse the picture ; let
us recollect that falsehoods more unblushing never dis-
graced the press than the recent attacks by the Tory papers
upon the Irish Liberal representatives ; remember that
the unprincipled trickery of the Times and Standard
has been stripped bare, that the latter has been forced
to swallow at a meal all the fabrications and calum-
nies of three weeks' hard writing, confessing its stu-
pendous tale of a Ribbon plot to be as much a
romance as Grizzle's rebellion, to say nothing of
its refusal to name the Members of Parliament whom
it declared to be Ribbonmen, a refusal which the public
will coincide with us in ascribing to the best imaginable
excuse for silence ; further recollect the light in which
the little table which we published last Wednesday has
placed the dashing slanders of the Times ; that
we have incontrovertibly established the rank, for-
tune, and respectability of those very men whose
returns are assailed by public subscription ; that
we have shown that nine-tenth; of these gentlemen,

or character can give to sit in Parliament as Represen-
tatives of any constituency in the empire : recollect
this, and then say whether the means by which this
" sacred fund" is sought to be created arc not worthy
of the ends to which it is proposed to devote it. Save
upon the principles ascribed to the pupils of Loyola,
could the empire's salvation warrant the use of frauds
so gross, of falsehoods so prodigious ? And the sums
raised by these infernal practices are laid upon the al-
tar The fund accumulated by these infamous arts,
these brazen libels upon men who challenge compari-
son with any equal number of English or Scotch
Members in everything that constitutes genuine re-
spectability—a fund designed to oust from their lawful
seats in Parliament a number of opulent, loyal, and
independent Protestant gentlemen, sincerely attached
to the laws and institutions of the country, and de-
voted to the maintenance of the Union—such a
fund is called sacred I Review the list which we
published the other day : are not the individuals
which it contains of time very rank, character, and
description which every sensible man must desire to
sec returned to Parliament by Ireland ? Are they
not of the very class for the partial exclu-
sion of which from Parliament we had for
years been in the daily habit of reproaching the Irish

cessitated to return daring men who had little to lose in
any vicissitude, how loud were the revilings of the
Tories, how indignantly they deprecated the exclu-
sion of the aristocracy from those seats in the Legis-
lature which they regarded as their patrimonial rights.
Well, then,
mark the monstrous inconsistency of
the present clamour I 'The Irish have departed from
the error of their ways ; they have.become aristocratic
in their tastes ; the old influences of wealth, rank, and
family, have resumed their ascendancy ; the Lalors
and the Ruthvens have been cashiered ; no man will
be received by any constituency who has not the re-
commendation of large possessions and an introduction
from Ulster King of Arms ; the men returned are such
men as Lord Belfast, Lord Clements, the Whites, the
Chapmaus, the Nagles ; yet the cry against Ireland is
louder than ever, and methods that were never dreamed
of to unseat fortuneless adventurers are employed to
frustrate the elections of the leading Protestant gentry
of the country.—Mornir re Chronicle.

EGGS.—By an official return lately published, it
appears that, the itopottation of eggs during the last year
amounted to 69,000,000. These, at a duty of Id. per
Llozen, produced a revenue to Government of 24,0481.
In 1820, the number imported was 31,000,000, yieldiog
the duty of 11,0771. During last yp4r grd 18114, the
