STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, MARCH 10.—The market continues in a
depressed state, both for goods and yarn; the few transac-
tions that take place being generally at reduced rates, which
spinners and manufacturers seem more generally disposed to
accept than for two or three preceding weeks. There is still,
however, considerable inquiry for some description of cloth ;
and it seems prAable that a Flight concession from the cur-
rent rates would lead to extensive purchases.
ROCHDALE, MARCH 9.—There has not been the least im-
provement in the flannel market to-day ; everythingremains
inactive, and the sales have been limited. The wool market
has also been dull, and purchases fur cash m'ght have been
bought at less prices. The wool dealers have suffored much by
the late failures, and it makes them very cautious in doing
business on credit.

LEEDS, MAnclr 10.—We cannot report any improvement in
our market. to-day; there is, in fact, le.s doing. Stocks are
accumulating in the hands of the manufacturers, and although
they are disposed to submit to somewhat lower rates, the
merchants confine their purchases to the narrowest possible
limits.

HUDDERSFIELD, MARCH 10.—A very fair quantity of
plain goods have been cold in our market this day, and
buyers in the warehouses have been more numerous. Fancy
goods are dull of sale. Could there be an alleviation of the
present pressure 7h the money market, there would be doubt-
less a great increase of business in this district.—Manches.er

IRELAND.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
DUBLIN, MATten 9.—The weekly meeting of the
Association was held this day ; Daniel Callaghan, Lq.,
M.P., in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN having congratulated the Association
on the result of the Mayo election, which he regarded as
the, greatest popular triumph sin,:e the Clare election,
and a❑ unequivocal demonstration in favour of repeal,
The Secretary read the folloiving letter from Mr.
O'Connell:—

"British Hotel, Jerrnyii•strcet, London, March 6, 1846.'
"My dear ltay,—ln my first letter on the recent
Ukase of the British Minister, I stated only three of my
objections to that oppressive and afflicting measure—the
new Coercion Bill for Ireland.

" My first objection consisted in the contrast between
this and every former Coercion Bill. They were, each
and all of them, temporary enactments—they were
limited in duration.

THE REV. SYDNEY SMITH'S WORKS. 3 vols. 3Gs.

" Ireland must exist with her oonstitutional rights
and liberties held by the sufferance and with the eva-
nescent permission of her despot for the time being.
The Governor may ba a violent partisan ; he may be
what is still worse, a well-intentioned, weak-minded
being—a fit instrument to be used in the hands of irre-
sponsible knaves. He may be t!, priggish formalist, who
n ay think highly of technicalities and forms, and may
have a sovereign disregard for substantial justice and
troth.

" In short, no matter what manner of man the Go-
vernor shall be, there is, by this Bill, to be vested in him
the uncontrollable power to annihilate every vestige of
constitutional liberty, and to enact irresponsible des-
potism.
" His power is to be perpetual.
" My first objection to the Bill, therefore, is its per-
petuity.
" It may indeed be said, that if the period shall arrive
when murders shall totally cease in Ireland, when there
shall no longer ba any manslaughter committed, when
no person shall be shot at, or stabbed, or cut, or
wounded, nor any grievous bodily harm done to any-
body, when such millenium arrives, then this law will
be repealed.
" I don't believe it. I don't believe that the English
Government will ever voluntarily give up any power Lr
dominion they may have over Ireland.
" The case of 1782 is not, as we lawyers say, a case
in point. England had just lost America by refusing
to conciliate—she preserved Ireland by rational conci-
liation.

" The causes that induced England to conciliate Ire-
land at that period are part of history. It is matter of
prophecy, and I firmly. beliere, almost unerring pro-
phecy, that causes of a similar nature will produce effects
not dissimilar.

" For the present, my first objection to the Bill is its
perpetuity.
" My second objection consists in the absolute false-
hood of its title.

"It is not a Bill for the better protection of life, and
to facilitate the apprehension of persons guilty of offences
in Ireland.'

" It really and in truth is, a Bill for rendering more
insecure life and property in Ireland, and stimulating
to additional crime.

" My third objection is, the absolute and unlimited
power, on any exeuie however trivial, or upon any pre-
tence however untrue, to place the inhabitants of dis-
tricts, and counties, and provinces in Ireland out of the
pale of the law, and beyond the protection of any con-
stitutional right.

" I have said so much on these three points in my first
letter, that I shall now consider—
" My fourth objection to the Bill, which consists in
the unlimited powers given to the Government over the
persons and properties of the Irish people.
" Let it to recollected, that a proclamation under this
Bill will be equally valid, whether it be founded on the
assertion of a falsehood or the assertion of a truth. In
other words, truth or falsehood in the allegation of the
proclamation is totally immaterial. The proclamation
is of equal validity with the one as with the other.
" Well, the proclamation having issued, my fourth ob-
jection consists in the extent of powers vested in the
Lord Lieutenant by means of his own proclamation,
true or false. The powers are these :
" Ist. The power of appointing as many resident
magistrates, inspectors of constabulary, head con-
stables, petty constables, and sub-constables and con-
stables, as the Lord Lieutenant shall think fit,
such persons to reside in the proclaimed districts,
and all of them to be clothed, fed, maintained, and
paid at the expense of the occupying inhabitants of the
proclaimed districts.

The second power is that of compelling the in-
habitants of such proclaimed districts to remain within
their respective places and homes from sunset to sun-
rise.

" Tho third power is that of allocating any sum of
money, to any amount the Lord Lieutenant chooses, as
a reward for the apprehension or discovery of any per-
sons being guilty of any offence in the proclaimed
districts.

" The finirth power is to allocate any sum of money
the Lord Lieutenant pleases, to the relations of any per-
son murdered in the proclaimed districts , or to any per-
son permanently injured in that district.
" The fifth power given by the Act is that which
makes the former power of allocating money to injured
parties and their relations afflictive and grievous. There
would be no objection to a reasonable allocation of money
to compensate injured persons and their relations, but
that should be done in a constitutional way, out of
funds voted by Parliament, by annual votes. The ob-
jection to the fifth power is, its totally unconstitutional
nature.

" This fifth power, the Lord Lieutenant by his pro-
clamation invests himself with, is that which enables
him, if he thinks fit, to levy the most enormous sums of
money from the occupying inhabitants of the proclaimed
districts, merely at his will and pleasure, without con-
trol, without check, without any legal responsibility.
" The sixth power enables the Lord Lieutenant to
appoint such person' or offices (these are the words
of the Act) as he shall think fit, with full authority to
make such ratos as the Lord Lieutenant may deem ne-
cessary on every occupier whatsoever within the dis-
trict.' There is no limit to the Lord Lieutenant's ca-
price. The rate may amount to the entire value of the
property of each occupier. No matter, a valid rate to
the full extent of the last shilling the occupiers are
worth, may be made, and there is no relief, no remedy,
no traverse, no appeal.

" Mark, my countrymen, such a Bill as this is called
a Bill for the Protection of Property l!!
" The seventh power with the Lord Lieutenaat ac-
quires by his own proclamation, is that of levying and
collecting such capricious rate, though it were, as I
have said, to the full value of the property in the dis-
trict ; and such collection or levying is to be made by
the constabulary or other force in the district, who are
ori
hay, potatoes, and in short all the property of
the occupants, and to sell the distress for payment of
the rate. _ .
corn,auth
sed to destrain furniture, goods, chattles, cattle,

" There is, then, a provision of a most oppressive
nature, that is, that the entire rate shall be payable and
levied on the actual occupiers, and whereas the rate is
based upon the poor-rate ; yet the Bill contains this
provision, that although persons holding lands under the
value of 4/. a year are considered too poor to be charged
with poor-rate, set these wretched paupers are charge-
able to the proclamation-rate to be made pursuant to this
Bill.
" Another provision
of the Bill is equally emphatic; it
exempts (oh ! let this be held in perpetual recollection!)
the landlords, that is, the rich, from the payment of any
part of the rates, and expressly provides that the tenant
or occupier shall net deduct from his landlord any part
of the rates.
" There have been already many coercion Bills for
Ireland, but none of so unconstitutional a nature, as far
as relates to levying money off the subjects. In that
respect this Bill stands pre-eminent in its unconstitu.
tional atrocity.
"But to crown all, and as if it were in utter contempt
of the Commons of what is called the Ur.ited Kingdom,
this Bill, with such enormous powers of taxation, is
made to originate in the House of Lords, which house,
all constitutional authority tells us, has no power what-
soever to orignate taxation.
" We say with sorrowful respect for our masters, Lord
St. Germans and others, that they ought net to carry
their power of insulting the people of Ireland to quite
so great an extent. A. little moderation would Lecome
them, were it ever so little.
" Let me, however, in the exercise of my duty, remind
our worthy Lords and masters that Lord Devon's com-
mission has told the world the astoundingfact that the
agricultural population of Ireland, being more than four
millions, endure greater privations and suffering than
any other people in civilised Europe.
