Several horses were backed for this race without causing any
material alterations. The Nonplus colt and Grey 'Mortals were
backed rather freely, and left off better favourites than when we
last quoted the prices. Several offers were made to back Cobweb,
who, at two points less than were offered on Thursday, is quite as
good a favourite as D'Egville. lon and The Early Bird were
backed at the prices stated last week. Young Rowton and Cobham
are in rather better favour than before, but Alendar, Volunteer, and
Cracker will be found to have retired several points. Closing

DUBLIN, SATURDAY, JAN. 20.

COMBINATION MEETING,--.A most important and respectable meeting
of the citizens of Dublin, convened by public requisition, took place
this day at the Royal Exchange, for the purpose of taking into consi-
deration the best means of putting an end to the system of combination
among the Trades, which is alleged to have led to such frightful as-
saults and outrages in the city and vicinity.
At a late stage in the proceedings, upon an individual expressing a
wish to move an amendment that the question of apprenticeship should
be left between the masters and men,
Mi. O'CONNELL, said such amendment would be illegal.
The LORD MAYOR put the question, on which a scene of great con.
fusion followed : and loud cries of " Yes," and "No." Several of the
tradesmen leaped upon the table and insisted upon being heard.

Mr. O'CONNELL then moved an adjournment.
The LORD MAYOR said that he would adjourn the meeting till some
future occasion, when public opinion would be fairly ascertained.
A scene of frightful confusion ensued, during which some of the
low Or ngemen and others of the trades made a rush at Mr. O'Connell,
whr, nowever, was immediately surrounded by most of the gentlemen
Present, and conducted safely out of the room amid shouts and execra-
ti ns from the intemperate mob. When Mr. O'Connell got into his
40ach, he drove away amid the loud cheers of all the respectable men of
"erY pasty present.
THE MEETING ON THE CURRAGIL—The snow has been SD heavy and
ristant here during Thursday and part of Friday, that the country is
vwered with it nearly a foct deep. It is thought that in consequence of
the severity of the weather the great meeting on the Curragli of Kil-
dare will be postponed, if not entirely given up.
The important case of )lalone v O'Connor, which excited so much
attention latterly, involving property to the amount of 13,0001. a_year,
Fill be again brought before the Court of Chancery in a few days It
*as the last decision in this case which gave a young man in the situa.
tion of a clerk the large property at issue. His claim is, however, about
10 undergo another strict investigation.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—The following strange case between Arthur
O'Conner the leader of the insurgents in 1798, and Feargus O'Connor,
the leader of the ultra.RaCicals hi 1837, was heard in the Court of Ex-
chequer on Thursday :
Arthur O'Connor, late of Fort Arthur, in the county of Cork, Vs+, P.
Feargus O'Connor, and others, the children of Roger O'Connor, for.
Merly of Dungan Castle, in the county of Meath.
Mr. Pennefather, Q.C., stated the plaintiff's ease, The orginal bill
ht this cause was filed on the 28th of April, 1834, against Feargus
O'Connor and several others, and stated that the plaintiff, Atthur

MARYLEBONE.
PUBLIC MEETING.-(YESTERDAY

THE BALLOT.

Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY fcontinued from our First Edition
o yesterday, )
It was the duty of a wise statesman to keep pace with public
opinion, and to take every opportunity of ascertaining the
state of public opinion.—( Hear.) And it was a wise and
statesmanlike course of Lord John Russell to give the peopie
an invitation to instruct Parliament, and to express
their sentiments on those questions.—( Hear, and cheers. )
The effect of the Duke of Wellington's declaration against
Reform was to put the people on their mettle. —( Cheers. )
They did mistrust their representatives, and their voice pealed
within the walls of Parliament—( Cheurs)—and it might be said
that the Reform Bill was passed from the moment of that
declaration. The sun was at that moment shining upon hint
(Sir S. W.) and he hailed it as a good omen. —( Cheers and
laughter.) He trusted that they would hereafter be able to
date the carrying of the Ballot from the moment when Lord J.
Russell declared that he would not be instrumental
in carrying it. —( Cheers.) He ( Sir S. W.) differed
from some of his friends as to what Lord John Russell
said respecting the finality of the Reform Bill. The
Noble Lord said it was absurd to speak of the
finality of the measure as regarded the people of England.
The finality was personal to himself ( Lord J. R.) But the
Nob e Lord said that the people of England might select
' what persons they thought fit to carry into effect any further
reforms of that Bill.—( Hear, hear.) [A person in the crowd
here asked, " Do you think Lord J. Russell any Reformer of
the Reform Bill ?")
Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY—Undoubtedly Lord John Russell
might change his mind if he pleased—(" Hear," and a laugh.)
The Noble Lord merely said that he was bound not to alter
the Bill, but that the people of England were not bound.
Small as was the majority last Session for the Church-rate
Abolition, itiwould be probably:less this Session ; and still less,
if the present Parliament lasted three years ; and still less, at
the end of seven years.—( Hear, hear.) And this brought
him to the third of the great measures—shortenin the dura-
tion cf Parliaments. He ( Sir S. W.) advised the electors to
demand this measure.—(Hear, hear.) It was no answer
at all to that demand to say that for some time past
Parliaments had been summoned on an average every
alternate year.—( Hear, hear.) The very doubt of the dura-
tion of Parliament was as prejudicial to the liberties of the
people as its long duration.—( Hear, hear.) And many a
time this doubt had influenced the majority in the House of
Commons.—( Hear, hear.) Parliament ought to be released
from the influence of that doubt, and ought to be responsible,
at short but fixed intervals, to their constituents alone.—
( Cheers.) He would be ready to join his:Hon. Colleague ( Mr.
Hall) in advocating these measures in the House of Commons.
The great argument of Lord John Russell against the grant-
ing of the Ballot was, that it would not be accepted without
an extension of the Suffrage. He ( Sir S. W.) however would
advise the electors to get as much as they could, believing
that by taking ten shillings in the pound they would not lessen
the prospect of obtaining the whole debt.—( Hear, hear.)
A voice in the crowd—" Before the question is put, I wish to
move an amendment."—(Confusion.)
CHAIRMAN—" Are you a rate-payer?" " I am." " Then
come forward, Sir."

The individual addressed here presented himself to the meet-
ing, and having announced his name to be Jordan, proceeded
to address the meeting amidst great confusion. He said that
he was not going to advocate the adoption of the Ballot under
the present system, but he wished to know where the line of
demarcation was to be drawn.—( Continued uproar.) What
use was the Ballot to a man who did not possess the Suffrage?
The CHAU:MAN here said—The gentleman is proceed-
ing in a line of argument which is quite distinct from
the object of the resolution. His arguments will be appro-
priate when we come to discuss the extension of the suffrage.
( Loud cries of "Go on, Jordan, go on.") I wish it to be dis-
tinctly understood (said Dr. H.) that I am not opposed to the
extension of the Suffrage, but at present the amendment of Mr.
Jordan is quite irregular.
Mr. JORDAN—I only wish fair play, and if I have an
opportunity of subsequently moving my amendment, I will
withdraw it for the present.—( Loud cries of " Go on , go on")
A gentleman who stated that his name was LLOYD, said ha
wished to address the meeting on the subject of the Ballot,
and hoped that he would be heard. Silence having been in
some measure restored,

Mr. LLOYD, who spoke from the body of the meeting
proceeded to say, that although he was an advocate for the
extension of the Suffrage and the shortening of Parliaments,
he was opposed to the Ballot.—(Great confusion and cries of
" Go on, Jordan.")

CHAIRMAN—" I hope, Gentlemen, that you will give every
man a fair hearing--you had better come forward, Sir."
Mr. Lloyd then got upon the hustings, when the greatest
uproar took place, and several persons were turned from the
hustings who were the principals in raising the disturbance.

. .
MC CHAIRMAN, amid the greatest uproar, put the resolu-
tion, when he was met with cries of " No, no," " We won't
have it," " Let us have dr. Jordan's amendment.' "We
have a right to hear what it is."
The CIIAIKMAN said, if order was not restored, and he was
not supported in the chair, he should quit it, and the
meeting must elect another Chairman. ( Here the greatest
confusion prevailed, which was increased by the appearance
of Mr. Young to address the meeting.)
Mr. JORDAN insisted that he bad a right to put his amend.
ment.

Mr. JORDAN then moved his amendment, which was to the
effect,—" That in the opinion of this meeting the condition of
the present House of Commons requires great alterations, and
they, therefore, resolve to petition the Legislature for Univer-
sal Suffrage, and the protection of the Ballot, equalization of
constituencies, and a shortening of the duration of Parliaments."
Great confusion. )

The CHAIRMAN trusted the meeting would allow the
proceedings of the day to be conducted in an orderly
manner. If the meeting would allow him to regulate the
proceedings as Chairman, the gentleman who had proposed
the amendment should be heard patiently. If they would not
allow him to regulate the debate, they must fix on another
Chairman.--( Hear and great uproar. )_
_ _

Mr. YOUNG then came forward, and after some delay suc-
ceeded in obtaining a hearing. He moved the second reso-
lution, which was as follows —" That to carry out the true
spirit and efficiency of the Reform Bill, by an adequate re-
presentation of the people in the' Commons' House of Par-
liament, this meeting is of opinion that every householder in the
United Kingdom should possess the elective franchise without
reference to payment of rates or taxi s." It was obvious ( Mr. Y.
remarked) that the amendment of Mr. Jordan would be more
properly submitted after the resolution than at any other
time. The weight of the present meeting would rest on
the regularity of its proceedings, and he trusted that the
Chairman, in his efforts to preserve older, would not be de-
serted by the men of Marylebone.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.)
He, for one, had no wish to silence the opinions of any man—
he stood there to move a resolution in favour of Household Suf-
frage ; and he thought the amendment of Mr. Jordan, in
favour of Universal Suffrage, came as a very legitimate and
proper amendment upon that resolution. He begged now
to call their attention to some of the observations that had
been made there to-day, and he regretted that a reso-
lution of so much importance had been confided to
his hands, or that it had. not—been entrusted to some
of the eloquent speakers who had preceded him. He
felt bound to state, that he concurred in the observations
that had fallen from Mr Hume, and also in the remarks of
Mr. Hall—that neither of them regretted the declarativ of
Lord John Russell, and that that Noble Lord stood higher as
a man of honour for having made that declaration. He con-
demned him as a politician in the same proportion that he ap-
plauded him as an honourable man. He believed the present
meeting would not have taken place had it not been for that
declaration. They should remember that that declaration was
not made in the heat of the moment. For Charles Buller
recommended Lord John Russell to " be well off with the old
love before he was on with the new." The Noble Lord had
again stated that he had weighed those mattes long, and that
they could not bo conceded without upsetting the Constitu-
tion.—(Groans and hisses.) He knew not how they could
pass these resolutions and shrink from the conclusion, that they
were passing a vote of censure on the Ministers. It
was with that view that he proposed the present resolution.,.
When the question of the Ballot was brought forward by itself
two years ago, Lord John Russell said that he could not con-
sent to have a revolution every year; so that ashen he objected
to the three objects of this meeting as organic changes, that
opinion was not come to without deliberation. That
meeting was therefore to determine whether the great bo-
rough of Marylebone should not withdraw its confidence from
the present Ministry. That seemed to be the view of their
representatives and of Mr. Hume ; they thought with hint that
it was impossible for the friends of those three measures not
to condemn Lord John Russell for his declaration.—( Hear. )
He ( Mr. Y.) charged the present Ministers with inconsistency
—they were now opposing the measures which they supported
when they were out of office. Lord J. Russell and Sir J. Hob
house when they were in the opposition voted for the Ballot—
(Groans)—and it was only by his advocacy of the Ballot
that Mr. P. Thomson obtained his seat for Manchester.—
( Renewed cheers and groans.) But now when they found
that a Conservative tone would obtain them the support of the
Tory side, they assumed that tone, and threw away the sup-
port and confidence of the people.—( Hear, hear, and hisses. )
In 1703 the petition of the " Friends of the People" was pre-
sented by Lord Grey, then Mr. Grey, and supported by him.
It deprecated the existing Constitution as too limited. No de-
finit.o extension of the Suffrage was dernaded in that petition,
but only Jrf gnerai terniS sttoh an extension as would give a
1.44 represpntatioß gf the pcflple: Wit the poi t!opiel.s
prayed for the repeal of the Septennifil Act, tIT proteetion of
the voter.—( Hear, hear.) When the Whigs Caine into office
they did certainly redeem some of their pledges, but the ques-
tion is did they redeem their pledge respecting Reform of
';'When t4e 4eforrp Act passed a much greater
extension of the suiVag`e was expected than bad !,e0 4ranted:
