excited much alarm, and of the Repeal of the Union n.t
one- word is uttered. At the late elections not a single
pledge was exacted from any of the candidates of the po-
pular favour—and the support of that administration
which has been the means to us all of so much blessings,
was the only intimation that was required.—(Hear, and
cheers.) An amazing change has taken place in the
- objects which Ireland seeks to attain. In 32 she asked
for Repeal. In 1337 she insists upon her identity. She
called for a restoration of her Parliament in 1832, and
she asks nothing but justice from England in 1837.--
(Loud cheers.) " Virtut! Quies 1" and it only remains to
consummate what Lord Mulgrave has so well begun, by
a perseverance in the course which he has thus prospe-
rously maintained —(Prolonged cheers.) Of this the
Queen of England appears to be sensible—and young,
as she is, she has already read enough of our history, end
observed enough of the scenes passing before her—(Hear)
—to have arrived at these benevolent views in our regard
for which milliens of hearts make a return of the most for-
vent prayers, for her glory and her welfare. I can picture
to myself (and it is not presumption to do so) the Queen of
England perusing the history of the island upon whose for-
tunes she is destined to exercise so vast an influence, From
the frightful expedients devised for the depredation of human
nature—from the Penal Code she must have turned with
horror. She must have lamented, even after its mitigation,
that the spirit which dictated its original enactment was still
adhered to, and she must have felt that to the tardy denial
of the great act of national justice, all the misfortunes
within our own remembrance are to he ascribed. Oh, she
must have said, " If Emancipation had been carried with
the/ Unione how 'much calamities might have been
avoided." But passing from days of disaster. arid dis-
traction to those better times which have opened upon
us, with what a sentiment of- favourable emotion she must
have observed the salutary consequences which have, flowed
if
from the recent adoption of a policy entirely different
from that which was formerly pursued, and how gladly
must she have contrasted the turbulence, the disaffection,
the atrocities, and the dangers which characterised almost
every previous government, with the peace, the good order,
the spirit of subordination, which the wise policy of
justice has produced under Lord Mulgrave's administra-
tion. After this perusal who can wonder that the Queen
of England on ascending her throne should have seized the
earliest occasion to make an announcement of her senti-
ments in regard to Ireland ? for however brief her own ex-
perience has been, she has read the history of our country,
and it was enough for her to do so, to make her feel those
sentiments to which so valuable an expression has been
given. The Hon. Gentleman then passed a deservedly
high eulogium on the Chairman, Mr. Villiers Stuart, and
concluded by proposing his health, which was drunk with
enthusiastic and deafening applause. _

NEW PEERS.—The Correspondent of a Contemporary
says,' It is stated very confidently that, in addition to a
number of new Lords, Ireland is to have the honour of
reckoning three Dukes—that is to say, two beside his
Grace of Leinster—among her Nobles. Should this be
the case, it is devoutly to be wished that the E.irl of
Charlemont•tnay be one of them. Palm= qui meruil
freed. No man on the roll of the Irish Peerage possessos
stronger hereditary claims to the favour of a Constitu-
tional Sovereign, or can plead more distinguished personal
desert to enforce them. There are two reasons why the
Government should wish to recommend such men to the
highestlonours of the Peerage : one is, to render that in-
stitution respectable in the eyes of the people ; and the
other, to strengthen themselves, and encourage more timid
supporters, by " cherishing those hearts that love chem.".
CRAWFORD'S LETTERS.—If Mr. O'Connell ever con-
templatecl—forgetting contempt in anger—to chastise the
gossiping slanders of Crawford, he is spared the necessity,
for every patriot in the country comes to his aid. We
have in the lireajbrd Independent a letter from Mr. Martin
Doyle—a true Irishman, and who employs the language a
true Irishman should employ on the subject. He takes
the spider by the poll at once, and accuses him, without
mincing or tea-table jargon, of envy, slander, and malig-
nity, as well as mischief. lie is right ; malignity, as
well as mischief, breathe in every line of its feeble,
dull, but distempered productions. There is a laborious
array of faults, manufactured by garbled extracts—there
is much error laid to O'Connell's account, and crimes
darkly insinuated ; but the real crime—that which can
never be forgiven by some minds—is kept hack ; it is
this—O'Connell's superiority !—Pilet.

MURDER OF TITOMAS ALLEN.—The Sligo Jolunal of
Friday gives the following additional particulars of this
atrocious murder :--It appears that during the late con-
tested election for this county, the deceased (Allen) and
his companion, 111‘Kenzie, were sent on a jaunting.car to
the neighbourhood of Cloonacool, in the barony of Utley;
they were met by a mob not far from that village, who
dragged them off the car, beat them severely, bound them
with cords, and so led them to an out-house in the village,
where they tied bags or sacks over their eyes, and con-
veyed them from thence, thus blinifoldA, into the Moun--
tains ; when there, they were . treate 1 with the most
fiend-like barbarity ; they were repeatedly beaten with
cudgels, and wounded and bleeding thrown into a
hole dug is the mountain, 'made purposely narrow
at the entrance, and widened inside. Here the un-
fortunate sufferers lay bound and blindfolded. At one
time, in the heavy rain, the pit having filled with wat. r,
they narrowly escaped being drowned, which would have
been to them a happy release indeed. After some time
they were carried to a hut, where they were left without
food or drink. When in this state, a poor man who had
been acquainted with *Kenzie, came (unknown to the
savages), and with the feelings of a Christian, unloosed
their bonds, took the bags from their eyes, and carried them
one after the other on his back to his own house (for they
were unable to walk, and gave them warm milk and an
egg. Allen's stomachf could not retain the food.. They
were traced and taken off again at midnight, and after six
days and nights of inhuman treatment, such as would dis-
grace the Inquisition in the days of its greatest cruelty, the
inhuman ruffians conveyed both on horseback, each sup-
ported by two men, to 111‘Kenzie's house, opposite the
church of Tubbercurry. Allen died the next morning.

OUTRAGR AT BARTHOLOMEW FAIR.--On Tues-
day night, about half-past ten o'clock, a daring outrage was
committed by a gang of ruffianly Irish labourers at the
White Swan public-house, St. John's-lane, Smithfield, in
which several persons were severely injured. Yesterday
morning three of the ringleaders, brothers, who gave their
names, Patrick, Dermot, and Phelina Flynn, were taken to
Hatton-Garden Police-office, where they exhibited marks
of violence. " Paul Clifford," attended with a host of wit-
nesses, identified the prisoners as being foremost in the fray,
and having commi tied brutal assaults, and one of the pistols
was found in the possession of Paddy Flynn, who, in his
defence, said that when he was going info the room he was
stopped by the. gentleman with the pistols, who presented
one of them at his bead, and expecting to be shot he took
it from him, and knocked him down, and his brothers came
to his assistance. The other prisoners made a similar de-
fence. The witnesses, however, concurred that the out-
rage was wanton and unprovoked, and they were all or-
dered to find bail ; in default of which they were committed.

MR. CH RISTOPH le R.—Mr. Christopher's progress
through the north division of the county has been signalized
by another of those extraordinary scenes which the Tories
of Lincolnshire are so famous far enacting. The exhibi-
tion at Brigg has been surpassed by one of a more violent
description at Horncastle, of which Mr. Christopher ap-
pears to have been himself one of the mute speet atom
As the affair will most probably become one for a legal
inquiry, we shall make no comment upon it here, but con-
tent ourselves with giving the following extract from a
letter addressed by Mr. Thomas Causebrook, the party
aggrieved, to one of his friends :—" Mr. Christo-
pher dined on Saturday at the ordinary, at the
George Inn, and 1 was invited by Mr. Walesby, Soli-
citor, Mr. C.'s agent, to dine with the party, which I
declined, but told Mr. W., I would attend after dinner
and hear what Mr. Christopher had to say. Accordingly,
in the afternoon I attended, and found the door guarded.
I got admittance when some parsons entered—stood a
considerable time—took a glass of brandy and water,
though pressed by several to take a glass of wine; at last
I accepted the offer, upon condition that I should be per-
mitted to give a toast, which was granted by the chair.
