The Society for the Improvement of the Condition of the Labour
lug Classes having met with entire success in three differeut effort' to
provide better dwellings for the labouring poor, Is new desirous of
commencing a new attempt, of, it nay be hoped, a still more impor-
tant character.
Its past operations have been as follows :-
1. A range of cottages, on a site where cottages only were admis-
sible, called Model Buildings, In Bagnigge-wells. These are now oc-
cupied by married couples and aged females, whose rents are paid
weekly, with great thankfulness for the cheap and wholesome lodg-
ings provided.
2. Three houses repaired and thrown into one, in Charles-street,
Drury-lane, wherein clean and proper accommodation is found for 50
working men.
3. The Model Lodging-house, for single men, built expressly for
the Society, in George-street, St. Giles's. In this house 104 single
men are provided with separate sleeping apartments, and every other
desirable accommodation, at the charge of 4d. per night.
All these establishments are full, the rents are regularly paid, and
the inmates aro very thankfhl for tee advantages they receive. The
number of persons now tenanting the Society's houses is 320, while
in various parts of the country their allotment tenants are b 56.
These three undertakings, therefore, while they return a fair and
adequate rental for the capital laid out, are producing important be-
nefits to the working classes, and are compelling improvement in
lodging-houses generally.
But there is a very numerous and important elass, for whose be-
nefit great efferts ought to be made. The mechanics and other la-
bourers, occupied in the heart of the metropolis, and having wives
and families, who are compelled to dwell in localities where employ-
ment is to be found, surely demand some consideration.
The Committee desire forthwith to make an earnest attempt to
meet the wants of this interesting and important class of persons.
They at present have in view two sites, in the very centre of the me-
tropolis, either of which would admirably answer the purpose.
They are endeavoaring to gain possession of one of them, but it will
be necessary, In order to their effecting this object in a proper and
sufficient manlier, that they should first raise a sum of 5,0001. or
6,0001., which will obviously be required to erect any building of such
extent as to to serve as a model for future undertakings. Hence a
public appeal must be made, since the whole of the Sociecy'e fluids
have been exhausted in the completion of the three works above enu-
merated.
The Committee believe that with the Christian public of this coun-
try no further plea need be used than that of the duty and Impor-
tance of benefiting the poor, especially with respect to their dwellings.
Still it cannot be out of place to remark, that while measures for the
improvement of the health of the metropolis are urged on every side,
there can be fie measure so effectual fur this purpose as that of ex-
changing the wretched abodes, into which the poor are now too often
crowded, for well-planned, well-drained, and properly ventilated ha-
bitations. The Committee believe that this can be done even et a
lower rate of charge for rent than that which the labourer is now
often forced to pay, and they entreat the affluent and the charitable
to give them the means of still further demonstrating this important
1 fact by actual experiment. It cannot be too often repeated, that
while our poor are forced, as at present, to crowd together, all ages
a, d sexes in the same sleeping apartment, the preservation of either
health or morals is rendered all but an Impossibility.

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.
'IR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
11;atures. They so perfectly resemble tae natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of riots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within
reach of the most economical, ko has fixed his charges at the lowest
stale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful la mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five.

TO PARIS.
DUBLIN, MARCH 10.—The Music hall, in Lower
Abbey-street. was densely crowded last night, it having
been known that Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., had come
over to attend a meeting of the Irish Confederation.
The hall was decorated with placards bearing the fol-
lowing words :—" Courage !—Forgiveness !—Frater-
nity I"
At eight o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. Michael
Crean.
Mr. J. B. DILLON (barrister) moved the adoption of
the following address from the Council of the Confedera-
tion, which he read, and which was received throughout
with the most tremendous shouts of approval:—
" ADDRESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE IRISH CONFEDERA•
TION TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND.
" Fellow Countrymen,—ln a circular addressed to its
representatives at foreign Courts, the great French
Republic has thus spoken through the most iglu .trious of
its servants:—
" • Thus, we declare it openly: if the hour of the re-
construction of nationalities long oppressed, in Europe
or elsewhere, should appear to us to have sounded in the
decrees of Providence, the French Republic would
believe itself entitled to arm for the protection of those
legitimate movements for the greatness and nationality
of states.'
" Three nationalities there are long oppressed in
Europe '—ltaly—Poland Ireland. The hour for Italy's
redemption has already Founded—the bleeding breast
of Poland heaves with the breath of returning life. Shall
Ireland alone remain buried in darkness, while her sis-
ters are emerging into liberty and light ?
" When the hour shall have sounded—when the virtue
of nationhood shall appear, and the vices of provincialism
shall be conquered and trodden down—when falsehood,
cowardice, and selfishness be cast aside and regarded
with scorn—when courage, self-sacrifice, and mutual
love shall mark the conduct of the people, then shall we
be in a position to call upon the great protectress of op-
pressed nationalities to redeem her pledge.
" When shall this hour have sounded ? Whether in
a month, in a year, or never, depends, brother Irish-
men, upon you.—[A voice, We are ready.'] —(Cheers.)
If upon the threshold of this new career we will blot
itit all recollections of past injury from our hearts—if
with hand clasped in hand we will swear before Heaven
that we will be true to each other—that no evil influ-
ence shall divide us—that no danger shall turn us back
—then be of good hope, for the hour of deliverance is at
hand, and a good and pitying God will not have sent this
lair opportunity in vain.
" Courage, forgiveness, and fraternity—these are the
virtues of the hour. Listen to the warning that is
sritteu in every page of the history of our servitude—
the craft of the tyrant is more formidable than his
Arength. Reptiles whose breath is poison, will crawl
trowel your steps, whispering suspicion, ridiculing all
manly sentiment, &crying bold courses, undermining
your confidence, and chilling the ardour of your hopes
—you must tread these reptiles beneath your feet. Be
prudent ; when boldness risks the safety of a cause, it
becomes rashness. Be prudent, but not for yourselves.
The man who now shrinks from personal risk must
stand aside, he is neither fit to lead nor to follow. To
what purpose do we express our admiration of the heroes
who braved death for liberty, if we ourselves are
frightened by the meshes of the law?' Freedom smiles
not upon cowards, she turns her radiant face away from
those who will not woo her in the midst of danger.
" For ourselves, brother Irishmen, we have but one re-
quest—that we may be suffered to share the labour and
the danger of your struggle, as we hope to participate
in the fruits of your triumph; we are ready to forget
our party, our injuries, and our pride, for the sake of our
country. In her service, humiliation—and danger—and
sacrifice and death are welcome to us. Wherever we
are required we shall be present, indifferent as to whether
our post be humble or exalted. Whoever leads on, we
shall follow—insisting only that we shall go forward—
forward, though graves were to yawn and gibbets to
frown across our path.
(Signed) "J. B. DILLON, Chairman."
Mr. BARRY called on Irishmen to be bold, courageous,
and self-sacrificing; stating that if they only were so for
a few days, the citizens of Dublin would take the ad-
vanced guard of the united army that was about to place
itself in front of the English Government.—(Loud
cheers.) The Minister might offer conciliation, but they
would accept of nothing short of independence.
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN then came forward, and was re-
ceived with loud cheers. He was compelled to tell them
that never, at any former period, did he observe less
disposition to do what was right in reference to that
country, on the part of the rulers of Ireland; never did
he perceive so resolute a determination to exhibit utter
contempt for the claims of the Irish nation. Night after
night he had been compelled to listen to declarations
from the Ministry which convinced him that they viewed
with indifference the deaths daily taking place from
famine in different parts of the kingdom. He expected
:hat if there was any spirit, any manhood in the Irish
representatives of every class, they would have stood up
in a body in the English Parliament,; and said, " If
you are determined to set at nought the opinion of the
Irish nation, we will bid you good morning, we will go
home and take care of our own interests. —(Cheers.)
But lie was sorry to say that they had abdicated the
right to lead, which was the true attribute of aristo-
cracy. In France they had seen the people triumph
over a tyrant who trampled on their rights. They bad
seen an effort made there similar to that made at Clon-
tarf in this country—(Hear, hear)—to put down a
meeting of the citizens held to express their political
,pinions in reference to the condition of their country.
They had seen the French soldiery do that which the
Irish soldiery would do under similar circumstances—
(Cheers)—fraternize with the people of Paris. And
could they view without emotion those great results of
popular opinion? He was not afraid to confess that he
rejoiced exceedingly in that programme of the intentions
of the French people alluded to in the address which
had been put forward by their committee, and which
he saw for the first time after he had entered the room
—he hailed with delight the enunciation on the part
of the French Government of a determination to
sustain, everywhere they could, and revive the op-
pressed nationalities of Europe—(Loud cheers)—and
he was prepared farther, if it were the pleasure
of his fellow. countrymen that he should go over as their
deputy—(Loud cheering and waving of hats)—to Paris,
to wait on the Provisional Government, and tell them
that the people of Ireland invoked French sympathy on
their own behalf.—(Loud cheering). He apprehended
that even Lord Palmerston himself could not object to
such a course, for lie had sent within the last few months
Lord Minto—(Hisses)—to negotiate a repeal of the
union between Sicily and Naples, which was an ad-
mirable example for sending a mission to claim the
services of a third power, in support of a people who
were contending for another repeal of the union. He
apprehended that if a deputation was appointed from
that country to wait on the people of France, it would in
no respect bring them within the operation of any known
law, and that they would not thereby be departing from
that course of constitutional agitation which he vindi-
cated at their last meeting. Ile might be told that the
contingency of war was one in which the Irish people
could have no separate interest from that of the people
of Great Britain. Now, upon that point ho was not
disposed to shrink from a full exposition of his opinions.
He was not desirous that the French should invade
and subdue England.
A VOlCE—Certainly.—(Cheers and laughter.)
Mr. O'Bittieet —Stilt less was he desirous that Franco
should invade and subdue Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) But
he did say this to the British Government—and he
would not have the least objection to tell them so in the
House of Commons next week, should it be their plea-
sure to listen to him—that he for one would not use any
influence which he might possess with the people a that
country to induce them to fight the battle of England
unless they had a Parliament in Ireland.—(Cheers; a
voice, " Nor then either.") Let them have a Parliament
in Ireland, and he thought they might answer for the
Irish people that they would defend their own shores
against every foe.—(" Bravo," and cheers.) His candid
conviction was, that the time for Ireland's liberation
was come.—(Cheers.) The only difficulty against
which they had at present to contend was the old sin of
disunion and dissension amongst themselves. For his
part he was willing:to adopt the mottoes of " forgiveness"
and of 41 fraternity "—(Applause)—with all classes of
the Irish people. With those who had wronged them
to the utmost, as well as with those who stood by
them in many a difficult conflict, he was prepared
most heartily to fraternize.—(Applause.) He no sooner
learned the events in France, than he wrote to his friends
on the Counoil of the Confederation urging, them
to make peace with Old Ireland.—(Cheers.) lie under-
stood that it had been decided there should be, within a
few days, in that metropolis, a meeting for the purpose
of adopting an address to the French people, and he
presumed that such an address would be presented by a
deputation. Ile was glad that that proposition should
have originated with the gentlemen of what was called
the Old Ireland party. In future they knew nothing of
Old or Young Ireland ; they were all for Ireland.—
(Cheers—and a voice, " A cheer for Smith O'Brien.")
It might be interesting to them to know that the Re-
pealers of Manchester: contemplated holding a meet-
ing of Repealera of all sections on the 17th of Marcie.—
(Hear, hear.) They had written to aim asking is
attendance, and he ehonld have the greest satisfaction
in going there, if it were not arranged that the meeting
in Dublin to address the French should be held on that
day. It would be for the Committee of Trades to
determine whether they could make any arrange-
ment to prevent the two meetings from clash-
ing. He was happy to be able to tell
them, from communications which he had re-
ceived, that a meeting of the Repeaters of London
would be held for a similar purpose. A system of ad-
dress to Franco ought, in his opinion, to be made uni-
versal in that kingdom, and also throughout Scotland
and England. They were told that the aristocracy
formed in that country the garrison of England. Perhaps
it might not bo unwise to remind the Government of
England that they, too, had a garrison in England; that
there were in Liverpool some thirty or forty thousand
Repealers, in Manchester some forty or fifty thousand,
in London some hundred thousand Repeaters of the
Union, and in Glasgow fifty thousand Repealers of the
Union. It was desirable that the meetings to which he
had referred should be held simultaneously. Perhaps it

might be thought that he was reluctant to take the third
of their mottoes, " courage," as his motto—(No)—when
he told them, and earnestly enjoined them, to mingle
prudence with their courage. There was no one thing
which their adversaries would so much desire as that
they should have recourse to an outbreak. So far as he
was concerned, he thought it right to repeat to them the
admonition with which be closed the last speech he made
in that assembly, which was, that Ireland had had
failures enough, and they must so contrive affairs in
future as not again to fail.
Mr. RICHARD O'GORMAN, jun., next came forward
and proposed the following resolution That we
deem it expedient that the people should follow the
example of the English people, who are now generally
organizing and arming themselves under the sanction of
the authorities, for the defence of their country in any
emergency which may arise." The Learned Gentleman
in the most violent language. compared Ireland to France,
stated that France had nobly gained her freedom when
oppressed, and that Irishmen ought to be prepared to
follow her example, and compel England to do her j us-
tice.—(Cherrs.) The French nation diet not understand
teasirg a Government into compliance when they knew
justice was on their side, but nobly seiz,!d the musket
and sabre, and rushed upon their rights.—(Tremendous
applause.) It was his conviction that all honest men
were bound to arm, whether they might require those
arms to resist foreign oppression or a domestic foe.—
(Cheers.) They should, however, follow the advice
of Mr. O'Brien, and " bide their time."—(Applause.)
Mr. BYRNE seconded the motion, which was adopted
with acclamation.
Dr. DUFFY then proposed the following motion:—
" 1. That this Confederation has read with the strongest
emotions of pleasure the proceedings of the reconcilia-
tory meetings of the Old and Young Ireland Repealers,
held during the last week in Dublin, Drogheda, Kil-
kenny, and Limerick; and we venture to express our
desire that this example will be followed by every Re-
pealer in every town in England, Ireland, and Scotland.
2. That, for our own part, we solemnly declare that
the confederates of Dublin aro anxious to forget all past
causes of offence received from the Repeal Association,
and that from this hour forth we ardently desire to
abolish all unfriendly and anti-national distinctions
between Young and Old Ireland. 3. That we cordially
concur in the proposal of the united Repealers of Kil-
kenny, a National Council of Union to be held in Dublin,
and we beg to suggest to the committee now sitting, of
the united Repealers of Dublin the propriety of their en
tering into preliminary arrangements for that purpose.
Further, we beg to suggest the 13th of April next, the
anniversary of the 'B2 declaration of independence, as
the day of meeting of the Council of Union."
Mr. M'GEE seconded the resolution.
Mr. C. DU/FY said he was authorised to propose, as
a member of the Confederation, Mr. Stephenson, one of
the Fellows of a Protestant College (St. Columba's),
established in Meath, for the education of the sons of the
Protestant gentry of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) There
were more friends to be united to them than Old Ireland.
The friends who left the Confederation he desired to
see amongst them again.—(Applause, and loud cheers
for Mitchel and Reilly.) He did not speak on behalf of
the council or others; but, inasmuch as it gave him the
deepest pain to part from his true faiend John Mitchel,
he desired to take his hand again, and be trusted that
on some other day, when their work should have been
attained and Ireland should be free, they would all of
them join hands in the building in College-green.
Mr. Smith O'Brien was then called to the chair, and
the meeting rose.
TUMULTUOUS ASSEMBLAGE AT DUBLIN
CASTLE.

Saunders's News Letter appends the following to its
report of the meeting of the Confederation:—
" The crowd having left the Music-hall, proceeded in
a body down Abbey-street, Sackvillo street, through
Westmorland street, College-green, and Dame-street, to
the Upper Castle gate, shouting in the most boisterous
manner along the route. Upon arriving at the entrance
to the Castle, they groaned his Excellency the Lord-
Lieutenant, and loudly cheered the French people and
the Republic. After remaining there for ten or fifteen
minutes, they gradually lessened in numbers, and in less
than half-an-hour order was perfectly restored. Another
body took their way down Bachelor's-walk, giving
expression to their feelings by loud cheers, and by sing-
ing as they went along. No breach of the peace was
committed as far as we could learn."
FRESH RUPTURE BETWEEN OLD AND
YOUNG IRELAND.

The Freeman's Journal has published, in a second
edition, the following address from Mr. John O'Connell,
which may be regarded as the manifesto of Old Ireland,
in reply to the Confederation speeches last night:—
" ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OP IRELAND.
" Gowran-Hill, Dublin, March 10, 1848.
"Beloved Fellow countrymen—My mind is too un-
easy about you to let me be deterred by anything from
addressing you at this important moment.
" I desire to warn you against the wild doctrines at-
tempted to be spread amongst you. I want to ask of
you utterly and indignantly to repulse and defeat the
continuous efforts being made by newspaper scribblers
and others to weaken in your minds the teachings of
my beloved father.
' The very men who write and talk wildest and
strongest would be the very first to abandon you if you
did allow them to stimulate you into violence and rebel-
lion.
" Recollect, 1 beseech of you, the experience we had
in 1843 of the value of big words, written or spoken.
Four of the men whose wild language was heavily cited
against us at our trials hung back and saved themselves
—leaving innocent persons to bear the consequences of
their offences.
"I will not mention names; but I must mention facts.
One of them was known to be hiding in the country.
Another is grievously suspected of having offered him-
self to the Government of the day; and having been re-
fused only because he could, of course, prove nothing of
treason in our committee deliberations. With such
warning facts before you, I believe, and am confident,
you will not listen to those who, at this day, would
hurry you into violence and crime, and then shrink
back and abandon you! For one, I will be guiltless of
your blood! I will not have the scream of the orphan
at my door. I will not have the curse of the bereaved
widow upon my head, and on those of my children. I
will do my duty by warning you against those evil,
those most wicked counsellors, who are said to be
abroad. They hold out to you the example of what has
happened in Paris, but they omit to tell you that the
French people were acting in mere self-defence against I
the last aggression that would utterly and entirely have
deprived them of all their rights; and, above all, these
men do not tell you what I, from being on the spot, and
seeing the whole affair, know to be the fact, that the
people of Paris, accustomed though they are to ire-arms,
and with plentiful means of supplying themselves, would
yet have been utterly defeated and crushed, but that the
armed and disciplined National Guards revolted against
the despot and joined them, and the example was fol-
lowed by the soldiery.
" Again, the French were an united people, and we—
unhappily we—are a spectacle to the world for our divi-
sions. And if you were wantonly and madly to throw
away the peaceful means yet left in our hands to accom-
plish our rights, you could not hope to have the assist-
ance in your fight of the real friends of liberty amongst
the classes you would wish to have at your head. AU
thoughts of violence, then, are as insane as they are
deeply criminal. The men who seek to spread them
amongst you must either be silly and mischievous fools,
or else paid agents of your oppressors.
" Beloved fellow-countrymen, we have no need of
violence. England's permanent interests (if by mad
folly we do not make her passions render her deaf to
those interests) must convince her of the necessity of
doing us justice. Unless that justice be done us, she
will, in the very probable event of foreign war, leave
her most vulnerable points exposed to invite the enemy's
attack. And in case of continued peace, she must, if
still unjust, maintain—nay, must augment—the army
and police, the cost of which now weighs ea heavily
upon her finances, impeding every effort at lightening
the grievous burthen of taxation.
" Oh ! let us in our meetings of St. Patrick's-day—
let us not waste time in idle vapourings about fighting—
but soberly address ourselves to English self-interest, if
English justice still continue deaf ; and let us ask these
Englishmen, whose greatest boast is their plain common
sense, is it worth while to keep Ireland in bondage at
such a cost ? Let us point out to them that we could
save millions to the State, if justice were but done us ;
and that Ireland, rich, happy, and contented, would be
their firmest support and ally in war, and their most
useful neighbour and friend in time of peace.
"Fellow-countrymen, we who now—who have ever
advised you to peace—we did not shrink back in the
hour of danger, as others did. My beloved father—
whose life was spent in preaching to you constitutional
agitation—he welcomed the danger when it came, and
was ready for every suffering, provided only that it fell
upon himself, and not upon you ! And some of us gladly
st ud by his side, sharing his spirit and his perils. And
now that he is gone, we arc ready again—whensoever
persecution may come—again to suffer if need be, pro-
vided only you be saved 1
"I have but little to give to your service, bat that
little—my life, and all its hopes and prospects—l have
freely, cheerfully, devotedly given, and never will re-
claim. Poor as the offering is, it gives me the right to
ask of you—to implore of you—for Ireland's sake, for
religion's sake, for the sake of all that you hold dear,
spurn from you the inciters to blood, to most criminal
rebellion, if such you find amongst you, and give one
more great, peaceful, constitutional effort to poor Ire-
land, and victory will be yours.
" True, the unwise—the mad policy of the English
Government is endeavouring to detach from you your be-
loved clergy ; is trying to prevent them from joining,
and giving safe and rightful direction to your efforts. But
even though the shepherds be withheld from their faith-
ful flocks, even then we will not suffer ourselves to be
hurried into crime. No, we shall look for and shall
obtain Heaven's richest blessing upon our struggle—
because we will not stain it with violence or outrage ;
above all, because we will not stain it by the shedding of
blood ! ' The man who violates the law gives strength to
the enemy !' We will give the enemy no strength, for we
will not violate the laws of man ; and, assuredly, we will
not violate the sacred ordinance of God
" Firmly and determinedly, but peacefully and le-
gally, we will hold our meetings on the day of the
