MR. O'CONNELL.

of the Christian ; and these recollections should all of them
tend to raise thoughts of pity and of charity.
In the dispensations of Providence which have scattered
the Jewish nation abroad, there is nothing to justify the
odious use of degrading or derogatory language., What jus-
tification can there befor imputing the depravity of Raphael
to the Jews? Why, he has been succeeded in the office of
Sheriff of London by a .Tens}, Mr. Salomons. 1 have the
honour to know that gentleman, and I would pledge my
existence that the wealth of London would not tempt him
to imitate the conduct of Raphael. What a contrast between
the Christian Raphael and the Jew Salomons! and I assure
you that nothing could be more unjust than to apply the
religion of the one as a term of reproach to the other.
I cannot tell you how strongly I feel this injustice. It'
is part of the most pleasing portion of my life, that I have
become acquainted with several families of the Jews in Lon-
don—amiable, educated, excellent peoPle. There is a
young gentleman amongst them who, I believe, is called
to the bar, and who has written several pamphlets, full of
learning and talent, on the question of the civil emancipa-
tion of the British Jews.- His name is Goldsmid. Do not
be alarmed—he is not the Moses or Mosey, who has lately
figured under the name of Goldsmid at a public meeting.
This Moses—the sordid " puddle in a storm" of some ob-
scure quarter sessions—has only " filched" the name of
Goldsmid with as little of right as he would have to " filch"
anything else that was not too hot or too heavy for him to
carry.
I am sure you will take the friendly advice I offer in
good part ; and that you will in future refrain from the in-
advertence of using terms of reproach which imply a ca-
lumny on persons not deserving that infliction. It is just
thus that, the words " Jesuit" and " Jesuitical" are used for
purposes of vituperation -; although every philosophic mind
recognises the truth that the Jesuits were, and I trust will
long continue to be, amongst the greatest benefastors to li-
terature and religion that the world ever produced.
I have however, another object in writing this publishable
letter to you: It is to express my deep regret at beholding
the apathy of the Reformers of Ireland--of the men at-
tached to the present Irish Government, from principle.
The friends of Reform, and of the present Ministry in,
England, have exerted teemselves, and exerted themselves
effectually in that country. The Reformers of Scotland, as
is the practice of the Scotch people, have been up and
doing. With these examples before them, why do not the
Irish Reformers bethink themselves of doing something to
secure the stability of the present Administration, and to
enable them to effectuate, peaceably but vigorously, the
salutary alteirations, the necessary ameliorations in our in-
stitutions ? Why do not that portion of the Irish Whigs,
who were not Repealers, and are not Radicals, now come
forward and make some demonstration of life and activity ?
The Whig Reformers in England have established a Re-
form Association to attend to the registrations, and the es-
tablishment has had the most beneficial, the
,happiest effects.
A Reform Association is still more wanting in Ireland
than it was in England. The Orange faction are
.on the
alert that treasonable confederacy is ever active, ever
vigilant. There are no means too base—Ahere is no depra-
vity.too atrocious for 110 e myrmidons of that illegal society
—many of its members are in "high places," with poWer
and authority. 'Never was there a more relentless perse-
cution than that which they are carrying on against their
tenantry. Indeed it requires to be an Orangeman in order
to have sufficient cruelty to perpetrate such savage and bar-
barous iniquity.
Again, there is the truculent Recorder, active, energetic,
persevering—his only chance of being placed on the supe-
rior bench of justice depending on the return of the Tories '
to power—what a fatal day that would be for Ireland
and the empire at large. But there he is working for
that object with all the advantage' of the secret machinery •
of Oratigeism.
Again, our judges almost to a man were chosen from
amongst the decided, if not the entire partisans of Toryism.
We are bound to give them credit for the best of all possible
motives, and for the purest of all imaginable intentions. Be
it so—and then see how terrifically formidable is the deci-
sion of Chief Baron Joy on the subject of the registration of
freemen, and then reflect on that amusing decision of Baron
Pennefather, which let in a, class of voters, designated by the
cognomen of " Baron Pennefather's bucks.", Alas! for this
wretched country, when a class of illegal voters take their
denomination from a judge of the land. Let us also look
at their list of sheriffs for the ensuing year. Really, my
lords, the judges are most profoundly excellent men—but
liable to mortal frailty and human error.
Again, let us recollect that the Assistant Barristers were
—at least, the great and overwhelming majority of them—
were selected in the most rampant period of Toryism—of
Orange Toryism. They arc, it will be admitted, liable to
error, but there never was a greater error than giving the
power of registration to them. It is curious to observe,
that the Tory Assistant Barristers never fall into the mis-
take of ruling doubtful points in favour of the franchise.
We have all heard, with utter astonishment, of the "lodger"
point, on which Mr. Martley disfranchised so many electors.
. -It was merely a mistake—an error of judgment. The bro-
ther-in-law of Blackburne made the mistake, and that it was
mere mistake we must, to be sure, concede. But we are
entitled to say, that it was the most outrageous mistake
committed since the days of " Baron Pennefather's bucks."
In plain truth, " Baron Pennefather's bucks" and " Mart-
ley's lodgers" should be placed in the same category of
errors. _ _ _

Why do I dwell upon these things ? Simply to rouse
the Irish Whig Reformers to the necessary exertion. There
are many amongst the Prdsbyterians of the North who are
Reformers, not Repealers ; and whose legitimate apology
for not joining in any agitation was, that we were for " Re-
peal," and they were not. But they have now no excuse ;
we Repealers are now giving the experiment of whether the
united Parliament can or not procure good government for

Ireland—a full and a fair trial: Have we not a right to
call on every honest Irishman who differs with us as to the
Repeal—have we not, I say, a right to call upon every such
Irishman to exert himself in order to strengthen the hands
of the present Administration—the first that ever was dis-
posed to do entire justice to the Irish people ?
Let me, then, through your columns, call upon and ex-
hort and entreat, most earnestly entreat, every class of
Irish Reformers to combine at once, and to form a " Re-

form Society," on the precise model, for Ireland, of that
already existing in England. It only wants a beginning.
If any three or four zealous Reformers will begin, and re-
solve to persevere, they will soon afterwards be joined by
thousands of those who are so constituted as never to com-
mence the work, but will gladly aid when once the " Re-
form Society" is in actual operation.
It wants only a beginning—l know it wants only a be-
ginning ; and lam authority on a point of this kind. All
the nobility and gentry who adhere to the Whig adminis-
tration would speedily join such a society. It is foolish to
wait until you are able to announce a completely formed
important body. The object will give it importance natu-
rally ; and when once set in motion, it will accumulate
abundant strength and resources in its progress. Much, I
know, can be done in Ulster. The North is capable of be-
ing redeemed to a considerable extent. There may be five
additional Reformers returned for that province. The South
could be protected ; and the midland counties secured. I
repeat, it wants only a man with nerve and moral courage
to lay the foundation of the " Reform Society" for Ireland.
I may be asked, why then do I not myself commence ?
and I answer—simply because I wish that there should be
no ground for jealousy—no pretext for secession. lam on
principle a Repealer, although I have considered the Repeal
as means for an end—that end which I am now looking for
by other means ; but as a Repealer, some Reformers may
object to me. lam also and decidedly a Radical ; some Re-
formers may object to me on that account. Again, the dogs of
calumny incessantly bark at me, and some Reformers may quail
before the energy of my calumniators. For all these reasons
I prefer to have the organization of the Irish Reform So-
ciety originate with some other person than me. There are
amongst the Irish Whig nobility those who ought to begin
—there are amongst the Whigs at the Irish bar those who
ought to begin. But the thing shall be done. Should it
be ascertained that no one else will begin, why then it falls
upon me, and I am too anxious to give to the present anti-
repeal experiment its fullest development not to determine,
that if no person more fit than myself undertakes it, I CER-
TAINLY WILL. I prefer—l infinitely prefer that it should
be done by others. But the society must be formed, else
the representation of Ireland will be cankered by Tory cor-
ruption and rottenness.
I cannot conclude without asking, as a personal favour,
to print once again the atrocious petition which the Knight
of Kerry and his satellites -presented to Parliament at the
close of the session; and to give the list of the names affixed
to it. It is right that the Catholic bishop and clergy of
this diocese should know, and I myself have a right to
know, the name of every man that asserted such gross false-
hoods against us. Pray print the entire petition once again.
Believe me to be yours very faithfully,.
DANIEL O'CONNELL.

MB. BLACK AND MR. ROEBUCK.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN

Ssn,—As, you, in common with your. Contemporaries,
have been led into error in copying from the -Chronicle of
Saturday last, into your Journal of the evening of that day,
an account of the duel between Mr. Roebuck ' and Mr.
Black; so much of that part of it which relates to me, I must
beg of you to correct, thus (No. II copy), an imputation
of unwillingness, or refusal, to give Mr. Roebuck's address.
No%s Sir, I dare the author of that assertion to a proof
thereof, and most positiVely deny ever having refused, or
being unwilling to give the address of Mr. Roebuck to any
person that haS ever applied to' me for that purpose. I
could have no motive whatever for so doing. Your inser-
tion of this contradiction will oblige the publisher,

Your obedient servant,
C. ELY.

" RENIARKS OF MR. REVANS_ON MR. M‘GILLI-

VRAY'S COMMENT.

. _
" Mr. M‘Gillivray, in Commenting on my statement in yes-
terday's Globe, states :-
1" .1. That he was not aware that Mr. Roebuck fired in

the air. •
" 2. That Mr. Revans did not state that
,his principal fired
in the air.
"3. That it is true Mr. Roebuck said, ' You saw how I
fired.'
" 4. That he understood Mr. Roebuck's remark to allude to
careless firing.
" 5. That both pistols were fired simultaneously on the
word being given.
" In reply,
" 1. Mr. Roebuck presented at the word to fire being
given, and, after receiving Mr. Black's fire, drew in his arm,
brought his pistol nearly parallel to his head, and dis-
charged it.
" 2 and 3. The cause of my not mentioninc, the circum-
stance of firing in the air was, that on Mr. Roebuck saying
' You saw how I fired,' without receiving any reply, I con-
ceivcd that Mr. M'Gillivray was aware of and admitted
the fact.

"4. The admission of Mr. M:Gillivray that• he thought
Mr. Roebuck's remark applied to his firing intentionally care-
lessly is equivalent to an admission of Mr. Roebuck's having
fired in the air.

"5. Mr. M‘Gillivray is in error. Even a person who heard
the firing described it as one report and then another, and pre-
sently two reports simultaneously.

COURT CIRCULAR.

. His Majesty.held a Court and Privy Council at the Pa-
vilion at Brighton, on Friday afternoon.
At the Court Reschid Bey, the Turkish Minister, was
presented to the King by Viscount Palmerston, his Majes-
ty's principal Secretary of State•for Foreign Affairs.
The Council was attended by the following Privy Coun-
cillors :—viz., the Lord President, the First Lord of the
Treasury, the Secretaries of State for the Home, Foreign,
and Colonial Departments, tho Chancellor of the -Exche-
quer, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench,
and the Treasurer of the Household.
The Hon. William Bathurst was the Clerk of the Coun-
cil in Waiting. _ _ .

The Recorder of London was afterwards introduced to
the presence of the King in Council, and made a report,
which occupied more than three hours.
The Court then broke up.

The Ministers returned in a short time to the Pavilion,
and dined with their - Majesties. A party of the Nobility
and Gentry:were also present. Covers were laid for fifty.

In the evening the company adjourned to the Music-
room, where the Queen's baud were in attendance.

nise the Grand Fancy Dress Ball at the Colosseum, in aid
of the Royal Dispensary for diseases of the Ear, and the

teered, with great kindness, all the assistance in his power.
We mentioned the assistance that the lessee of

Drury-lane had received from his performers in the tem-
porary loan of one-third of their salaries. Saturday Mr.
Bann informed the company, by letter to the stage-ma-
nager, that, in consequence of the success of The Jew=
during the last week, he did not loner stand in need of
the sacrifice that had been made by the members of this
establishment, and that all salaries would in future be paid
in full at the treasury. This intelligence was of course sa-
tisfactory on all accounts.

Despatches from the Marquis of Sligo, Governor of Ja-
maica, and also from St. Vincent's, were received yesterday
at the Colonial Office.

It seems that young Matthews, who was educated
for an architect, and who held some appointment of the
kind under the trustees of the Stratford roads, has re-
solved rather to follow his father's career than his father's
advice. He is about to act at Madame Vestris's theatre
in some productions prepared for the stage by himself; and
we hear that Monday week is the day named for his first
appearance on any public stage in England in that capacity.
While resident at Fiorence, he not unfrequently acted in
Lord Mulgrave's, if not :in Lord Burghersh's, amateur
performances—so that he is not entirely unpractised. His
style is said to resemble that of his father, and we are told
that he luis a surprising faculty of extemporising to music.
ADELPIII .THEATRE.—Buckstone's new three-
act drama of the Dream at Sea will be produced here this
evening. Green-room report says it exceeds any of the
former productions that have emanated from the pen of
this prolific and successful writer ; it not only abounds with
a chain of appalling incident, but will embrace nearly the
entire strength of the company, inclusive of the author and
the fair manageress, Mrs. Nisbett. Amongst other fashion-
ables who have visited this theatre during the last week
were—T. Duncombe,. Esq., M.P. ; the Duke de Riche-
lieu ; the Earl and COUntess of Sefton, the Duke de Regina,
Earl Bruce, the Hon. Frederick Byng, Lord Fitzharris, the
Marquis Graham, Massey Stanley, 'Esq. ; the Hon. Mr.
Legge, the Hon; Manners -Sutton, the Hon. James W.
M•Donald, Lord William Beresford, Lord Allen, Hervey
Aston,- Esq. ; Lady Dashwood, Lady Molyneux, Lord De
RoOs, Count D'Orsay, C. Auriol, Esq..; the Earl of Lich-
field, and Sir John Walsh.

The Marquis of Lansdowne, Mr. Spring Rice, and
Lord Glenelv, arrived in town on Saturday afternoon from
Brighton. Lord John Russell arrived in town on Satur-
day night.

OMNIBUSES IN THE UNITED STATES.—The
following appears as a leading article in a New York paper
of the 17th of October :—" In one of the morning papers
some remarks are made upon the profanity and impudence
of the boys attached to the omnibuses. From the following
communication it appears that passengers are grossly abused
by some of the drivers :—‘ On the 13th inst., at six o'clock
p.m., the writer rode up Broadway in Colvin's Columbus.
The boy refused to receive tickets, and demanded money.
The writer stated that tickets were taken until seven o'clock
by other stages. The driver replied in a loud and angry
manner, You are a d—d liar !' Comment is unnecessary.' "
THE MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE.—Mr. Yourell,
of the Black Lion, county of Dublin, tenant of. the Mar-
quis of Lansdowne, writes thus to a contemporary :—" On
calling upon R. Franks, Esq.,
.of Leeson-street, agent to
the Most Noble the Marquis of Lansdowne, to pay a half-
year's rent, due March last, I found to my agreeable sur-
prise, '25 per, cent. abatement, made in consequence of the
very low prices of agricultural produce. Notwithstanding
his Lordship's making an abatement of 25 per cent., lie
continues to make allowance for all improvements made on
his extensive estates in this county, such as ditching, drain-
ing, and building of stone walls, houses, bridges where
necessary, &c. Such indulgence to the occupier is of
great relief, and to the labourer also, as he can be employed
instead of going about half-starved." [This is indeed an
example to Irish landlords, which feW of them, we fear, will
imitate. One act like this of the Marquis of Lansdowne
is better calculated to produce peace in the country than all
the coercive measures ever adopted to repreSs outrage .:I,

TILE PROGREss OF A- Ittron.T.—About a week
ago, a gown and bonnet were found on the Billesdon-road;
near Houghton, and placed in the hands of a constable, that
he might, if possible, ascertain the owner. The old gossip,
report, in her progress from place to place, kept magnifying
this circumstance, until it became a murder, the gown being
transformed into a woman with her head cut off! At length
rumour deposited the body in Braunstone church, for public
inspection ; and several persons, anxious to view the horrid
spectacle, went over from Leicester to that village, the in-
habitants of which first heard of the barbarous murder from
the lips of their disappointed visitors ! —Nottingham Review.
Some interesting antediluvian remains have recently
been discovered in a field near Ilford, Essex. The horn of

grinders, weighing nine pounds each, were. found near the

DRURY-LANE.—The favour with which The
Jewess has hitherto been received by the play-going public
fully justifies our anticipations of its success. It has been
played during the past week to crowded audiences. We
have nothing to add to what we formerly said respecting
this drama, except (and it is mere justice to say it) that
Mr. Vandenhoff plays the part of Eleazer so infinitely bet-
ter than we supposed hiM capable of performing any part,
that the public have reascn, not only to regret, hut to re-
joice that Mr. Macready was so mistaken as to suppose the
character unworthy of the exercise of his capabilities,
which, though generally of greateiCOmpass than Mr. Van-
denhoff's would, we think, have failed to make the Jew,
in his person half as effective,as Mr. Vandenhoff makes it.
