tries so united ; it means that each possesses equal rights

an.! Ireland ?-“ Hear, hear.) limolic.eg thtlf tht rrtriei
are coining into-power ; and in what suite will tkt 4017
ministration of justice be when that evil falls upon 1;41
land ? Remember that bad laws, when well adminis-
tered, beeoine-tc!erable and bearable, and even tend to
promote protection ; while,good laws, badly adminis-
tered, become a grieYous oppression by the nice dis-
tinctions of phrase which are taken .by partisan
Judges—the haughty insolence evinced by the Ma-
gistrates, whose feiends are in power---and, above
all, by the kind of . Justices you will have to
preside over the Courts throughout the country.
Will you bear all that ?—(Cries of " No, no!')
They almost proclaim already that a rebellion must take
place, but they have not as yet tried it. Will you rebel?
Oh, no, no—(Cheers)--we'll never rebel again, because
Ireland will abide her hour—she will never violate the
law; but if the Orange faction, backed by the English
Tories, attempts to deprive us of our liberties or legal
rights, oh, it would then be no rebellion.—(Cheers.)
That would not be a rebellion, and in principle nothing
is so, provided it is successful.--(Cheers.) In either
case that of the
.people of Ireland would not be so, be-
cause the people of Ireland would not follow such a
course unless driven to defend their altars, their homes,
and liberties—(Hear)—and no man will speculate on
surviving such an issue, unless to become an unhappy
victim. We may, in such a case, be stretched on
the field of death, we may be placed in a :state
of inaction and be silent for ever in our graves,
but we should be living or triumphant. It was
only yesterday that I read of a riot that took place
at Dudley, which arose in consequence of the colliers
having turned out, not to get higher wages, but in order
to prevent the wages which they had been receiving
from being lowered.—(Hear, hear.) There were three
troops of cavalry sent to cut them down, and they were
commanded by the Rev. Mr. Cartwright, as the attend-
ing Magistrate—(Laughter)—and, by the bye, I thought
of the circumstance, when talking of Catholic ascendancy.
I was considering how strange it would appear, if on
some commotion at Navan, my friend here, the Rev. Mr.
Langan, would go .at the head of three troops of ca-
valry, to cut down his parishioners.—(Hear, hear, and
laughter.) Why,. the circumstance is so ludicrously
improbable, that my Reverend Friend appears quite
astonished how I could make such an assumption.
But I come back to my sober question, "Are you pre-
pared to submit to Tory rule"—(Cries of " Never 1")--
'to thatrais-government that has the diabolical features of
giving no relief, no redress, no remedy ?- It is a kind of
political hell, replete with that eternity of suffering from
which all hope is bani Shed. There is no remedy while
everything is calculated to aggravate and augment the
evil.

Mr. MAI:KEY—We have still the Loyal National Re-
peal Association to stand by us.
Mr. O'CossELL—J humbly thank you.• I believe I
know something of that assemblage.—(Cheers.), Rebel-
lion, force, violence—we will have none of them, but wel-
come, wherever it comes, resistance to rebellion, force.
and violence.—(Prolonged cheering.) You all know
that I have been for forty years or upwards struggling
for my native country.—(Cheers.) For nearly- thirty
years of these I had principally confined myself to the
question of Catholic emancipation. I had during that
time addressed many meetings of the wealthier classes ;
I have attended many meetings of the aristocratic grades
of society. I hare also addressed the operatives of the
towns and the agricultural population in rural districts ;
and with the experience which I have thus acquired, I
am able to pronounce what are the topics which seize
with strongest hold the Irish mind, that convulse with
excitement the inmost hearts of the people, and that
prompt them with au almost convulsive effort of readiness
to raise aloft their sinewy arms. I know all this, and I so-
lemnly declare before you, that though the impulses 0C
religious feeling were strong within them, when I spoke to
them of religious equality, and of the propriety of en-
joying " happy homes and altars free," yet I have never
raised such a stream of determination within their veins,
such a decided, or so enthusiastic a spirit. of unani-
mity and order—(Cries of " Hear, hear")—that I hwen
never elicited such a shout of triumphant anticipation
as whenever lat all touched on the repeal. I tell you
to do nothing that I am not willing and ready to do my-
self ; and I will, therefore, go from parish to parish_ to
set you an example of the way that I wish you to work.
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded amid the
most tremendous cheering.
Several other toasts were drunk, after which Mr.
O'Connell retired, and the company separated.

ORDER OF LEOPOLD OE
BELGIUM.

A Royal Decree, of the 14th of May, signed by M. de
Meulenaerc, is to the following effect "
Desiring to give a striking proof of the warm friend-
ship which we bear our brother and cousin, his Majesty
the Kino•of Greece,

- - - -
"We have decreed his Majesty Otho 1., king of
Greece, is named Grand Cordon of our Order ; his Ma-
jesty the King of Greece shall take his rank in the order
from this day's date, and shall wear the military in-
signia."
-Resolution of the 21st of May, signed by M. de
Mnelenuere, gives the rank of Commander of the Order
of Leopold to M. Gabriel de Lessert, Prefect of Police at
Paris, and to Count Rambeteau, Peer of France, as
proof of his Majesty's satisfaction with the service which
they have rendered him, and a new mark of his personal
regard,

THE BOULOGNE AFFAIR.
The riot to which we yesterday alluded, arave o
Tuesday evening during the grand ball. The ball-room
presented a most extraordinary coup (rail. The first ob-
jects that met our view were three notorious English
swindlers, who sat at a round table swilling brandy and
water. We also saw several of the most objectionable of
our-countrymen, who could never by any remote possi-
bility have gained admission into any society deemed
reputable in England. We found Lord _Maidstone in the;
ball-roam, and some of the officers of the Life Guard:9,
several of whom are staying here. Lady Cardigan is
also here at the hotel de Londres, and several persons
of distinction are, we understand, expected.
Tickets having been liberally dispersed, especially to.
the English, who constitute the chief support of tho
town, the National Guard of nonlogne, about 3,000 in
all, became indignant because the whole of their corps
could not be admitted into the theatre, which, though
fitted up with the greatest dexterity, could not be made.
to aceommodate more than half the number. An at—
tempt was accordingly made to tbrce a passage, and rt.-
pulsed ; but the rioters .quickly returned to the charge
with showers of stones, which broke many windows,
injured several individuals, and might have led to.
consequenees more serious, had not the military beers
called out.

The Lancers and Gendarmerie had their horses saddled
and bridled, and were ready to mount at a minute's
notice. It has since transpired that it was the intention
of some of the blackguards who were foremost in the riot
to have set fire to that part of the temporary building of
wood which was put up at the back of the Theatre, and
to have availed themselves of the confusion to carry their
infamous projects into effect. If the place had been set
ou fire. hundreds must 'have perished. The building
was a long room built up with light dry wood, and if once.
set on fire would have burnt like touch-paper. The build-
ing was, on the very fiat alarm, or, as we have heard,
before the actual riot commenced, surrounded •by a
strong detachMent of the Infantry of the Line—the
27th Regiment, the soldiers of which evinced the
best feelings and the most perfect coolness. The
mob, which at one time 'presented a dense mass,
reaching all the way from the front of the Theatre
along the " Rue de la Spectacle" into the large street
which runs at right angles with it, had it not been for
the troops which were assembled by beat of drum and.
sound of trumpet on the first signs of insubordidation,
would have forced their entrance into the theatre, and
of course there could have been little respect for persons,
property, or even lives. The soldiers, however, drove
them back by main force with the butt ends of their mus-
kets. We have heard that some few were wounded by
bayonets, but cannot vouch for the truth of the account:
The Cavalry, the Gendarmes, and Lancers of the line
behaved well; they scoured the streets in large bodies,
and succeeded in dispersing the mob, which the infantry
had driven back en masse. It does not appear that this
outbreak partook much of political feeling, though the.
cries of " Pee!" everything but the lawful Government
of the country, " A has les Anglais ' and "Aux acmes!"
were symptoms not particularly pllevaassanatgfaoirntsht ethfoereitganyeonr,
whoand t islienlootyapio.pulfair ame aoninmgostsitthye bad subjects of the city.
yearly twenty persons, implicated in the riot, have,
been arrested, and amongst them are several English-
men. That Englishmen can lend themselves to such dis.-
:1 graceful acts is to be regretted, but when it is considered
that a certain portion of the English residents at Boulogne
are composed of the refuse of their own country, it is no.
matter of surprise that they should join any other black-
guards in breaking the laws. Yesterday a member of thot
London swell mob was arrested in one of the hotels, The
fellow was found in one of the apartmeftv by a servant
of the establishment. He affected to be fast asleep, and
snored in confirmation of his assumed somnolency in a
way that led to his detection. There have been petty
depredations during the fetes, and a tolerably good har-
vest for the pickpockets. The fetes are about to termi-
nate. They have been a strange mixture of the pantomime
and the serious. Taken as a whole, the thing may be.
said to have gone off well.
BOULOGNE,SUR-AfER, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—.AII is
quiet again here. The banquet and the ball, the races
and the rows, are over, the whirlpool is gradually be-
coming weaker, and Boulogne has again sunk into its
pristine state of apathy and insignificance.

MRS* TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL.—The great
body ot novel readers will, we have no doubt,•be exceed-
ingly gratified to learn that Mrs. Trollope's new work,
" Charles Chesterfield, the Youth of Genius," is to ap-
pear, complete in three volumes, in a few days.
ever great Mrs. Trollope has heretofore shown herself in,
her sotitical pictures of society, her sketches in this
new work, particularly of certain literary coteries andi
personages, have a piquancy, spirit, and vigour, which,
completely throw into the shade all her former doings_
Her satire, however, is so admirably tempered by wit
and humour, that even those who may be tonsideredt
to fall under her lash, can hardly refrain from partici-
pating in the amusement site affords. The work will
drive additional attraction from numerous illustrations

MORNING

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOU

,NALS,

FROM
.THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
CHRONICLE.—" Like master, like man.' The
Time,.;, as well as Sir Robert Peel, has been importuned
with questions about what it means to do. The prin-
ciples and policy of a party must be in a singular pre-
dicament when so Much curiosity is excited as to its
course. Rappily the oracles are not all dumb. Though
Sir RoLem- will not speak, the Times will. Sir
Robert is silent, because he has taken no fee ;
whetkier the Times be loquacious for the opposite reason
ii left to corfeeture. It' no, it condemns the baseness of
ite leader's principle; and if yes, itconfesses the baseness
en' its own. However that may be, the Times favours
us with its prescription, as if "regularly called in."
It officiates, we presume, in the character of
apothecary, feeling the public pulse, and ascertain-
Mg the patient's • taste in medicine, preparatory
to the advent of the great Quack as physician.
The dose recommended is a homceepathic one ; a " very
measured advocacy" of " long notice and gradual pre-
paration" for " the restrictions on the importation of
Corn" bein ; " gradually abated." Such is the .new
&mind taken op by our Contemnorary, who cosily
atria it to he the old ground_which he ha always oc-
cupied. " 7.leasured- advocacy" with the 7744 es will be
a n Welty indeed ; hot, it' such a phenomenon must appear
it could not come more appositely than in the form of
" meestired" remonstrance against popular :tarvation.
The Tia-ien have been accused of violence. Are they not
for lettin:; the people perish by degrees ? And is nonthat
moderation ? " We are, in the abstract, opposed to the re-
staietions of the present Corn-laws." Who shall in-
terpret tins oracular response ? Who explain the
meaning uf an e!enruct restriction: Is it anything like
arm abetract Lord Mayor ? How do the abstract restric-
tions of present laws differ from the a bstract restrictions
of abeent laws ? Is it "in the abstract". that the Corn.
laws make the labourer pay twelvepence for an eight-
penny loaf ; or, in the concrete ? We pause for a reply.
The stream runs clearer as it flows, until at length the
Times makes an intelligible assertion, and puts a very
pertinent question. "In principle, or however else it
may be we; we are opposed to the present restric-
tions. Why not, then, set to work at once, and write
them down ?" Ay, why not.
TIM ES.—The home and colonial philanthropists who
tons
of deep an interest in " the Children's Friend So-
ciety, told who so pathetically deprecated its dissolution,
are meleingea zealous effort, we find, to bring it once
more into ceistencci—though doubtless in a new form,
and prohably with a new designation. Projects of this
sort, flay them as you will, are often as unreasonably- te-
neciOne of life as a well-skinned eel. Nothing could be
name just or foreible than the public obloquy under
which the late kidnapping society was doomed Jo pine
and criminally to perish. In proportion as its original
supporters became acquainted with the objectionable sys-
tenß)F trepanning, whereby its juvenile victims, unable
to exercise their own discretion, were literally trans-
ported and enslaved, they withdrew their coun-
tenance from such a scheme, one after another, till at
length the whole concern fell to pieces in Exeter Hall,
and appeared to be finally annihilated. Our readers will
see, however, from oar City article of Moaday, that the
boy-mousers at the Cape of Good hope, who constituted
the principal customers for the youthful cargoes which
the Children's Friend Society were in the habit of ship-
ping to the South African market, have become just as
impatient at the cessation of their usual supplies as the
philanthropic crimps at home are to renew and extend
the traffic. The fact that a proposal and subscription
liar reviving this affair have been originated at nearly
the scare moment both in London and at the Cape,
plainly shows that the conjunct effort has been pri-
vete!). preconcerted ; and as the interested Colonists are
shrewd enough to know that an imposing aggregate cot:-
tribution on their part may possibly serve the double
purpose of calling forth a seasonable supply of the arti-
vies in demand, and of requiting themselves with a por-
tion of the earliest consignments, a considerable number of
them have stibecribed front ton to twenty or thirty pounds
qpieee, on the understanding, that for each ten pounds so
sulesarileed they shall be entitled to the services of an
emigrant—taking. the pick of the. invoice -in rotation.
The Cape subeedbere, it seems, profess to have been
driven to thie expedient by the circumstance that
they do not find the Caffres and Hottentots adapted
for the hard work of the colony—an acknowledgment
which plainly implies, either that they mean to work
their a outhini exiles with a severity which the natives,
though inured to-the climate, are unequal to, or else that
the term of stipulated bondage is to be so protracted
that-the etriplinge, even if not overworked When young,
ultimately yield them a profitable reversion of op-
pressive lahoue erring many succeeding years. That a
:plausible tiice %vial be put upon this colonial movement,
and that the project will be loudly lauded as opening a
rauch-needed asylum for children who would otherwise
be abandoned to vagrancy and crime, is what we are
quite prepared to expect.
HERALD.----We yesterday point4d out the very in-
suflicieut, but most Whiggish amount of means which
Lord. John Russell had consented to appropriate for
carryin, out the recommendations of the Commander-in-
Chief of the British army, Lord Hill, and of the pro-
Commanding General, Sir R. Jackson, to corn-
ylete and increase the permanent defences of Canada,
matt showed that, in point of fitct, nothing of any import-
otility could be thereby effected. The construc-
tion an 4 completion of the Canadian fortifications and of
tine military lines of communications in that noble pro-
vinve have to he accomplished out of the yearly savings
`.,"ron.i, Intl the periate down of, the militia and volunteer
greete ; fie that for every stone added to a wailitary
work, oe fur every rood of land cleared for military
communleatiou, the militia-and volunteer reghnents—the
:immense value of which was seen in the Canadian rebel-
be injured in efficiency. The safety of the
province—separated, as it is, from the mother country,
not only by the ocean, but for a great part of the
by the climate and season—is, to a great
depeedent ote its militia and volunteers, and
sutfleicfacy of its permanent defences. Lord
Hill and Sir R. Jackson have solemnly declared
to the Colonial Secretary that " eVO dependence upon
the decided superiority of oar troops, and arrangements
made for defence connected with them, should lead tie to
neglect the construction and completion of permanent
works calculated for the protection of the points of most
importer:cc to 1.1.3." Yet Lord John Russell will only con-
trionte to that construction and completion from the
scrapings of . a miserable pettyfogging economy, which
will injeere the constitutional military force of the colony,
and will damp the ardour and cool the patriotism of men
who have already made great sacrifices to maintain that
connection, on the continuance of which the Noble Lord
writes so hesitatingly-.
POST.—The leading Radical print of yesterday pro-
chthee that "the constituencies have miserably failed of
securing. their own interests," while " her Majesty has
never felled of the discharge of her duties." So then
even Eadieals have found out that in political matters the
people may be wrong and negligent, and the monarch
eight and attentive. Truly tins is an important Radical
4116covery, to which we wish they could keep their eyes
-when it is not their own seltiele interest to do so as well as
when it is. The view which the Radical organ now pro-
pounds, when resolved into a political principle is pre-
cisely the Tory view of such matters. The Tories not
only think, but have, always thought and professed, that
the people might be wrong, and the Monarch right, even
when they dlifared upon political subjects. For thus
thinking they have been, over and over again, abused by'
the Radicals as tyrants. They have been told a thousand
thnes, in a tone of Radical menace, that " the people is
the only legitimate source of power.' yhiv do not the
oaeneet; now acknowledge the error and wickedness of
this prineaple ? Why do they not confess, and ask par-
don ? WIT,V, but that they are despicably selfish, and
afraid to acknowledge any truth %licit might be prejud
,ird to their own interest

LOBE.—The Tory papers, having received the
dint from the leading journal to abstain from " un-
rnardod language," are sadly at a loss for subjects
on WIIMI to dilate, and the Herald in particular
appears to be very much put about for a topic
on which to expend its proverbial garrulity. For
want of something better, our Contemporary has
lakt..,n up :t brief allusion made by Lord John
RusFell to a former Speaker of the House of
Commons, and has treated its readers to a column
and a. half of disquisition on the life and times, do-
mestic as well as official, of Sir Charles Manners
. Sutton, now Viscount Canterbury, which are carried
Alma to the very moment of writing, and enter so
'lli-
lintely into detail, as to apprise the public that
,t
ca-Speaker is in 1841 " wedded to a blue coat,' in
which it is darkly insinuated there are holes, and that
he is aecustomed " to promenade round the plantations
St• jamPs's dresSed in a style, as the Herald
impertinently hints, of unbecoming seediness. • We
are at a loss to perceive the connection between the
Kloat of the Speaker before last, and the election
of the gentleman who now fills the chair ; 'and, in.
the whole of our Contemporary's elaborate article
being as it is a treatise on the political life and privatE
halt of a nobleman, who was only incidentally named
in the House of Commons last night, reminds us very
much of the essay in ninety .six octavo pageS, to consi-
der the quastion whether the husband of the Nurse in
Romeo and Juliet was really the " merry man" he is
sail to have been in the course of one speech—usually
omitted iu the representation—put by the author into
-the mouth of one. of the subordinate characters. The
lengthy remarks on. Viscount Canterbury are about
as relevant to the Speakership as the essay alluded to
might he considered pertinent to the illustration of
Shakspeare's characters ; and we only regret that the
otherwise inoffensive rigmarole of the writer of the
former should have been disfigured by allusions to the
.-Noble Viscount's economy of dress—allusions which
show that while he who makes them must, have a tho-
rough knowledge of the peculiarities of Lord Canterbury,
late Charles Sutton, he has lost all recollection of
Manner-

COURIEIL—Mr. Hawes, when proposing at the
recent Lamlxith reform festival, "the People, the legi-
2iinute sourc:) of power," was, we admit, free from hy-
pocrisy ; " that homage which vice pays to virtue" he
fie nog: scruple to give vent to in the principles of his
1,6141P:11 creed. Theie were "Additional Reform,"
and " Peaceable Agitation." The philosophical Mr.
Warburton said—" He thought they would be of opinion,
:from their experience of the present constitution of P.tr-
liamer.t, that the Reform Bill had ended in great disap-
Tointmeat ; it had disappointed many, but lit, indiridu-
"Nay, had not been disappointed ; the Bill required much
improvement—they must have, in fact, a new Reform Bill."
D'Eyncourt caught the strain, and sang in the same
key. " They had found that the Reform Bill was not
adequate to secure the liberties of the country. They
inlst have have a new Reform Bill." Do Messrs. Hawes.
"v 4rburtoi:, and D'Eyncourt, forget that in the
tebate on the Reform Bill, the finality of the measure
as the only principle on which it was passed ?
