MEETING OF THE TRADES POLITICAL
UNION.

Au extviordinary general meeting or this body was
held last Thursday afternoon at the Adelphi Theatre,
in pursuance of a desire having been expressed by Mr.
0:Cormell, to a deputation of the Union, to meet the
body, and state to them his views on the present posture
of political affairs as regards Ireland. Two o'clock was
fixed for the meeting, but long before that hour a very
considerable bay of respectable artizans and traders
had assembled. Mr. O'Connell entered about ten
.11141111 es after two o'clock, and was received with long
continued cheering. The Hon. Gentleman addressed
the n,tet.ting at considerable length, and concluded in
these words, ", Our first object should be to agree to a
declaration repudiating the foul assaults which are daily
made upon the HAI people, and; to come to an under-
standing as. to the best mode of protecting ourselves
from Tory domination and persecution."—(Cheers.)
Resolutions were then passed, pledging the meeting
to the most energetic opposition to the return • of the
Tories -to office—their enthusiastic allegiance to the
Queen, and
.detertnination to support her throne.
Mr. FITZPATRICK moved a resolution to the following
effect : .

" Taat.wc are firmly determined, to resist hy all legal
and constitutional means, and at, the risk of our lives
and property, the rd.= of the Tories into power."
Mr. D'AttcY proposed, and Mr. O'BRIEN seconded,
the motion

" That we concur heartily in whatever arrangement
can be made for the expression of Irish sentiment in
opposition to Tory misrule, and that we concur in sen-
meet with the meeting held on Tuesday -last, as to
the necessity of petitioning the .Queen and Parlia-
ment to prevent the restoration to power of the Orange
'roses, and in the propriety of and 'address from the
Roman Catholic people." •
