The resolution was then put and carried amidst loud cheers.

Mr. P. HOWARD, M.P., rose to propose the next resolution.
He said they had seen the great paladium of British liberty assailed
thy had seen the sacred right of trial by jury, hallowed as it
was by the name of Alfred, violated by the late course taken by
her Majesty's Government on the State trials in Ireland. If such
a course had been pursued in the metropolis of Ireland, what an
awful example would it be to tbedependencies of the British Crown,
where of course public opinion was not so powerful as at home.
The resolution he had to propose was as follows :—" That the fol.
lowing address, founded on these resolutions, be circulated for sig.
nature, and presented to her most Gracious Majesty, at an early
period, by the Noble Chairman, and such other Catholic
Noblemen and Gentlemen as may please to attend."—(Cheers.)
The address was to the following effect s—" We, your Majesty's
dutiful and loyal subjects, professing the Roman Catstrongly impressed with the importance of the principle sanctioned
tic lie religion,
and established on the passing of the Emancipation Act, that our
religion should no longer be a bar to our full and free enjoyment
of those civil rights and privileges of which we had so long been
deprived under unjust and erroneous imputations on its tenets,
cannot but view with extreme jealousy the late act of
the legal advisers of your Majesty's Government in Ireland,
a hereby all Roman Catholics were excluded from the jury list. We,
therefore, humbly presume, in presenting this, our loyal address, to
your Majesty, to protest against this their act, being construed into
a precedent for infringing on those rights and privileges which we
consider ourselves equally entitled to, and justified to enjoy with
any other class of your Majesty's subjects."
Mr. ETSTON seconded the resolution, which, with the address,
was carried unanimously.

Mr. HOWARD moved that the Noble Lord do now leave the chair,
and that it be taken by Lord Stourton.
Sir E. VATASOUR moved, and Mr. MAXWELL seconded, a reso.
lution of thanks to the Chairman; when the meeting separated,
with three cheers for Daniel O'Connell.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM TUE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

STANDARD.The proceedings of the Houses.
Of Parliament, last night, were various and interest,
ing ; but they run to too great a length, and branch
into'too great a number of different subjects, to. allow
that in the crowded state of our columns we can even
enumerate the several topics_ referred to. In the
House of Commons Sir James Graham introduced a
Bill for the Regulation of Factories. It seems to be
a copy .of the Bill . of last session, omitting the
eduCation clauses ; the subject of education being, as
the Right Hon. the Home Secretary observed; assigned
to the generous rivalry of Churchmen and Dis-
senters, while the Bill will secure time for the
children to be educated. We
.are .not afraid of .the
result of the competition proposed, and we certainly
prefer leaving the matter open, to the recognition of
any special right to educate on the part of Dissenters.
"Laissez faire". and the Church will. do her duty,
as has been already proved in this particular case.
As to the still remaining provisions of the Bill, it is
well to imitate Lord Ashley in withholding our
opinions. upon them, until the exact terms of them
shall be in the hands of :the public. Mr. Sharman
Crawford made. the- motion, in a hng• and not very
brilliant, but temperate speech. Sir Robert Peel re-
plied at some ltngth, and with much pleasantry, re
