country. By the means of an English majority in the
Imperial Parliament the two great measures for the ad-
vancement of popular liberty—the Parliamentary Re-
form Act and the Corporation Reform Act—were cur-
tailed in all their important provisions when framed
for Ireland, and the rights of the people of Ireland
have been incessantly violated by a succession of ar-
bitrary and unconstitutional laws, passed on various oc-
casions since the union by the same power. In proof
of this I may call to recollection the numerous Insur-
rection Acts, and Acts for the partial infliction of mar-
tial law, the Whig Coercion Act, and the other Coer-
cion Acts which afterwards succeeded it, the Arms
Acts, and more especially the last Arms Act, which I
may designate by way of distinction, the branding
Act. Disturbances have frequently occurred in Eng-
land, but never was she treated by her own representa-
tives as her representatives treated Ireland. I ask, do
not such acts and proceedings as these prove that Ireland
has no available representation against the danger of
sepa"ate legislation by the Imperial Parliament, and con-
sequently no security for her rights if England has the
will to invade them ? In such cases the representation
of Ireland in only adequate to give to England a colour-
able pretext to say—" these are the laws of an Imperial
Parliament." Thus Ireland holds her liberties at the
will of England, " and to depend on the will of another
country is the definition:of slavery—" (Grattan).

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO

NORTHAMPTON.

Bonus Bonus in
added. Cash.

At a public meeting of the county of Northampton,
convened by the High Sheriff, held on Saturday, and nu-
merously attended by noblemen and gentlemen, the fol-
lowing address having been moved by the Marquis of
Exeter, and seconded by the Marquis of Northampton,
was unanimously adopted :
" To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty.
" We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects,
the nobility, gentry, elerey, and other inhabitants of the
county of Northampton, in county meeting assembled,
beg to approach your Majesty with the expression of
the high gratification we feel at the honour your Ma-
jesty has done us in visiting our county. We take this
opportunity of assuring your Majesty that, however
much your Majesty's conduct has endeared you to every
class of your Majesty's subjects, none can feel more
strongly than we do the most ardent wishes for your
Majesty's health and happiness; and it is our most
earnest prayer to the Almighty that he may be pleased
to grant to your Majesty a long and peaceful reign,
during the whole course of which you may witness the
increasing prosperity of your people."
The Marquis of NORTHAMPTON, in seconding the ad-
dress, said, the fact of her Majesty honouring their
county with her presence would have been quite sufficient
to call forth an unanimous feeling of loyalty.—(Cheers.)
When her Majesty came into the county, she would un-
doubtedly feel great pleasure at finding herself traversing
the halls of the descendant of the great minister of Queen
Elisabeth.—(Hear, hear.) She would feel proud that
she, also a female Sovereign, was visiting the halls once
inhabited by one of the greatest statesmen that ever
swayed the destinies of this country ; and her Majesty
would feel, and the country would feel, it to have been a
proud thing that a female Sovereign should have been
able to command the services of such a man as Lord
Burleigh.—(Cheers.) Her Majesty . had always been
most anxious to forward the prosperity of the manufac-
tures of the country by patronising them in her court,
therefore that would be a reason for those among them
who resided at Northampton greeting her Majesty
with a cordial welcome. With respect to those who fol-
lowed the most important of all arts, that of agriculture,
it was needless for him to say that Prince Albert was
the first and greatest farmer in the land—first in station,
and most anxious for the promotion of agriculture.
Earl SPENCER proposed a vote of thanks to the High
Sheriff for'having been kind enough to call that meet-
ing, and said it must be most gratifying to every inhabi-
tant of the county that an address to her Majesty on
the present occasion should have been unanimously
adopted by the great county of Northampton. Her Ma-
jesty, as it had been well said by his noble friend who
had preceded him, deserved the attachment and devo-
tion, as she had them, of the people of this country.—
(Loud cheers.) It was a good thing that the country
should congratulate itself that her Majesty was in the
habit of going amongst her people, to see what they
were—to see the people over whom she had the honour
to reign—a people attached to her by their loyalty gene-
rally, but particularly attached to her in consequence of
her exemplary conduct.—(Loud cheers.) It was also
important that the Sovereign of this country should see
what it was that so endeared her to her subjects ; it
was desirable that, being, as she was, an example of
domestic life, she should see that to that princi-
pally she owed her popularity.—(Loud cheers.) But
it was not only as an example of domestic life that she
had shown herself one of the best monarchs that had
ever blessed this country, it was also in her political
capacity that she had signally distinguished herself.—
(Cheers.) He did not recollect in the history of this
country any reign in which it had not been possible for
some surmises to be stated against the Sovereign as to his
conduct to his administrations. They had seen her Majesty,
however, in the beginning of her reign surrounded by an
administration in which she seemed to have the most
perfect confidence. That administration, by the will of
Parliament and of the nation, was dismissed, and another
placed in its stead. Had there been the slightest symp-
tom of want of confidence in the present administration?
On the contrary, had it not been proved during the whole
course of its existence that her Majesty had given to it
the most careful and complete support?—(Cheers.) This
was the conduct that endeared her to the hearts of a free
people.—(Cheers.) It was very possible that there might
have been some Sovereigns who knew that such a course
ought to have been pursued, but be did not recollect any
occasion when the administration had been changed that
room had not been given for some surmises relative to
the conduct of the Sovereign. With such principles,
connected with such general good conduct as her Majesty
had shown, it was very desirable that she should see
what the effect of it was upon her subjects, that she
might be encouraged—though she wanted no encourage-

her a guardian and a blessing to them all.—(Cheers.)
Such being his feelings with respect to what they ought
to do, and their having voted the address unanimously,
he thought there was every reason why they should
concur in thanking the High Sheriff for calling that
meeting.—(Cheers.)
The HIGH SILERIFF returned thanks.
Three cheers were then given for the Queen, and three
cheers for the Marquis of Exeter, and the meeting sepa-
rated.
A meeting of the Mayor, magistrates, aldermen, and
other authorities of the borough of Northampton, has
also been held, at which the same feelings of loyalty
and unanimity were displayed. The following is the
address voted. :
" TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
" The humble address of the Mayor, magistrates, alder-
men, and councillors of the borough of Northampton.
" Most Gracious Sovereign,
We. your Majesty's faithful subjects, the Mayor,
magistrates, aldermen, and councillors of the borough of
Northampton, beg leave to approach your Majesty to
hail your Majesty's auspicious presence in this ancient
borough. We beg to assure your Majesty of the devoted
loyalty and attachment of this town, and that all classes
of inhabitants are deeply sensible of the benefits en-
joyed under your Majesty's enlightened rule. We most
earnestly pray that, under the protection of Divine Pro-
vidence, your Majesty's reign may be long, prosperous,
and peaceful ; and that your Majesty's subjects may
long feel the benignant influence of those private vir•
tues which adorn your Majesty and your Majesty's
illustrious Consort, and which endear your Majesty to
the hearts of the people."

APPOINTMENTS.

Secondly—The laws passed by the Imperial Parlia-
ment for the regulation of our local institutions are gene-
rally full of blunders, and betray the grossest ignorance
of our requirements. I need not enter here into a parti-
cular enumeration—l give one as a specimen of all : I
shall name the Poor-law Act, and I know well that the
strongest friends of the principle of a poor.law will unite
in the assertion of the unsuitableness of its provisions to
the wants of Ireland. In cases where this law works
well, it arises not from the law itself, but from the
guardians exercising a judicious administrative authority,
which bends its austere provisions to the circumstances
of the poor.
Third—The effects of the union, and of imperial le-
gislation, are manifested no less injuriously with regard
to the financial relations of the two countries. The pro-
portion of debt and contribution to the expenditure im-
posed by the Act of Union to be paid by Ireland were
so excessively beyond her powers, that in a few years
she became bankrupt. England then consolidated the
exchequers. An act of bankruptcy cannot again occur
on the part of Ireland, separately from England ; but,
nevertheless, the drain is still going on beyond the
means of Ireland to bear. The revenue is drawn, not
from the luxuries of wealth, but from the means by
which an impoverished people support existence—not
to be spent in Ireland, to circulate and stimulate indus-
try—but to augment the riches of England ; and thus
this drain, drawn, I may say, from the blood of Ireland,
produces the most injurious effects on the progress of
improvement, and increases the poverty of her people.
In consequence of the poverty created by these causes,
Ireland is et present exempted from certain descriptions
of taxation imposed upon England and Scotland, more
particularly the assessed taxes and the income-tax ; but
is it to be believed, that if we continue on a system of
joint expenditure, that exemption will be allowed to ex-
exist ? Will the English and Scotch Members agree
that the establishments of Ireland should be paid out of
the imperial funds, and that she should not be sub-
jected to a like system of taxation with themselves ? Is
it just or fair to expect it ? There is nothing but their
mercy and the mercy of the Minister to prevent it.
What could your puny Irish representation in the Im-
perial Parliament do to stem the evil ? You now plead
at the bar of England in forma pauperi—your plea
is at present admitted ; but the moment Ireland
shows symptoms of rising prosperity, her progress
will be crushed by these new inflictions of taxation from
which you can only be saved by a new arrangement of
the financial relations of the two countries. I ask, are
the landed aristocracy, and the impoverished trading
interests, prepared to endure the consequences of the
assimilation of taxation ? If you are prepared to submit
to this infliction, then continue your slumbers—indulge
in your happy state of inaction—stifle every rising
thought about your country's rights or interests ; but,
mark, when the tax-gatherer knocks at your door, let us
hear no murmur of complaint. You will have no right
to complain. If you shall suffer evil, you will only suffer
the just recompense of your own deserts.
Fourth—The enormous expenses and other difficulties
in procuring Acts for local improvements in the Imperial
Parliament, are such as a poor country like Ireland can-
not compass—therefore, improvement, and its necessary
accompaniment, employment, is virtually stopped by this
came alone.

Fifth—The improvements of a poor country, where
capital does not abound, would require some support
from the revenues of the State. The riches of England
enable the Imperial Parliament to refuse this aid to
England, and, consequently, it is refused to Ireland,
although the circumstances are so totally different.
Sixth—l would put it to Irishmen of all sects, can
they deny the evils which have arisen to Ireland from
the centralization system, as far as it has been carried
out, awl the increase of evil which will be produced by
its completion ? Do they not see the public boards and
public offices transferred one by one to the metropolis of
England, drawing away to that one great vortex the
whole expenditure of the country? That great evil of
Ireland. the absenteeism of its landed proprietors, has
been immeasurably increased; not only pleasure, but the
emoluments and duties of office, draw them away from
their country. The public expenditure in every depart-
ment of the state thus becomes a source of exhaustion to
Ireland. But this is not all; the centralizers will exert
every power to put down the demand of Ireland for
local institutions by increased consolidation. They know
that so long as any one separate institution remains to
distinguish Dublin from any provincial town in England,
the demand for a local legislature cannot be resisted by
argument. Your Lord Lieutenancy will be abolished—
the business of your executive will be done by some
English-Irish secretary in London—your separate courts
of law will be abolished—lreland will cease to have a
metropolis. Dublin, without the stimulent of official
expenditure—without commerce or manufacture—with-
out the means of support or employment for its popula-
tion—will sink into that state of wretchedness and de-
cline which has been the fate of many splendid cities,
whose ruins are now the only indications of their former
prosperity.
Seventh—Conservatives talk of the evils of agitation ;
they say that agitation is the bane of Ireland. I ask
them what produces agitation ? Discontent. What
produces discontent ? The feeling of suffering by the
people, and the impression that there is no effective organ
to declare their wants or wishes. Can any one say that
the representation of Ireland in the Imperial Parliament
is an effective organ for that purpose ? I may here refer
to the words of Grattan, so forcibly applicable to this
part of the subject :—" What ! when you banish Parlia-
ment, do you banish the people ? Do you extinguish
the sentiment—do you extinguish the soul ? Do you
put out the spirit of liberty when you destroy that organ,
constitutional and capacious, through which that spirit
may be safely and discreetly conveyed ? What is the
excellence of our Constitution ? It provides an organ
. . . . through which the humour of society may
pass away without preying on the vitals. Parliament is
that body where the whole intellect of the country may
be collected, and where the spirit of patriotism, of li-
berty, and of ambition, may all act under the: control
of that intellect, and under the check of publicity and
observation." I maintain this is what Ireland requires.
Can any impartial person say, that the interests of Ire-
, land have been properly attended to by the Imperial
Parliament ?—and can it be denied that agitation has
produced an attention to those interests which could not
have been otherwise obtained ? I desire, then, a legiti-
mate organ of expression for the declaration of the
people's voice—l desire a local Legislature in the two
Houses of which full effect will be given to the voice of
the people, modified by the moral weight of a resident
aristocracy.
Eighth—l would ask, can it be asserted that the Im-
perial Parliament is capable of properly transacting all
the immense mass of public and private business which
is now imposed upon it, unless some new arrangement
of that business be effected ? The establishment of local
legislation for Ireland would be one of the most effective
means of diminishing the laborious duties of the Impe-
rial Parliament.
Ninth—Assimilation of laws, which is essential to
consolidation and real union, can only take place where
there is assimilation of circumstances. Are the circum-
stances of England and Ireland similar ? England, the
highest country in the world in commerce and manufac-
tures—lreland among the lowest ; the former a com-
mercial country—the latter an agricultural. Can the
identical same laws be suitable to two countries where
the difference of their condition is so great ? Can the
same system and amount of taxation be borne, which
must be the unavoidable result of a junction of expendi-
ture ? Will the same laws and institutions answer for a
country in the incipient move towards prosperity, which
apply to the matured condition of England's wealth ? It
might as well be said the same quality and quantity of
food would be fit for the infant and the adult ; the food

which would be fit for the man would kill the child.
Such will be the fate of Ireland if she be not treated
with the indulgent care which her feeble advances to-
wards prosperity require, by giving her every encourage-
ment which is not inconsistent with the interests of the
empire at large, and with that perfect freedom of com-
mercial intercourses between every part and portion of
the United Kingdom whieb is essential to the peace and
prosperity of the whole.
Tenth—The truth of the foregoing positions will be
proved by a reference to the present condition of this
country. Ido not propose to enter into the hackneyed
line of argument with regard to the advance in trade and
manufacture, or in national rights, which hare occurred
at different periods, both under the existence of the Irish
Parliament and the Imperial Parliament ; no candid
man can deny that good and evil measures have emanated
from both Parliaments, lout good ones only when the
external power of the public mind has coerced assent. I
care not about statistics of commerce and manufactures
as indexes of national prosperity, unless it be proved
that the condition of the mass of the population corres-
pond with these indications, Now, what is the coptii-
