IMPORTANT. MEETING of the FRIENDS of
CIVIL and RELIGIOUS LIBERTY in CORK.

Cork, Thursday, Half-past Four o'Clock.

A meeting of the inhabitants of this City took place
So-day in the South Parish Chapel, and has this moment
separated.

At one o'clock, CHARLES BEAMISH, Esq. (of the ex-
tensive firm of Beatnish and Crawford) was called 'to the
Chair by acclamation.
Mr. O'Cotester.r. then arose, and spoke to the follow-
ing effect :—Yes, nay Countrymen, the country is tranquil,
end the factions who disgraced her, the Black Hens and
the Magpies—the three-year-old, and four-year-old--who
'pilled each others Wood, committing treason against the
Majesty of God, and the laws of man, for which they
found Juries flippant enough to send them exiles to Botany
!'aY.—All these heard the voice of the Catholic Associa-
"en, they looked with shame upon their former enmity,
they embraced as brothers, and they new seem more like
nue large family than people formerly thirsting for each
other's blood. I learn that in this county the Condors,
the Barrens, and the Powers, the Keefes, and the Fitz-
gibbons,--the Keyes and the Fitegeralds, still pursue their
feuds. Oh, the Orangemen wish for nothing so much as
these quarrels,—will you gratify them ? No ; what the
counties of Tipperary and Limerick are in peace, the
county of Cork will be. This city is full of the Orange
faction ; the leading men in the city are Orangemen. The
Corporate offices are filled with them ; if a situation of
rank or. Tower be vacant in the Corporate Magistracy, an
Ora,ngernan fills it. To these nothing is more acceptable
than your disunion. We want no secret organ—we abhor
Fret oaths. I wish, ye could trumpet it through the
1411,11 that whoever belongs to any Secret Societies fur-
nishes food to the insatiable appetite of the Orange
uelnon of mischief. We are strong while we obey
the laws, we are powerless where we disobey them.
You have one over you, the gallant Anglesea, God bless
dim, who, I will answer for it, will protect you ; and I
observe in the Tipperary Free Press, received this morn-
ass, that he said within the last week, that " he came to
eritninister the laws, and would recognize as the beat pa-
triot hies who best -obeys them." You see he styles here
the beet Irieh patriot who obeys the laws, and unless your
'ids be' deeply impressed with the pure and undefiled
tenets of religion, which speak to the human heart, and
Pre 'a
prospect of future rewards, you in vain essay to
"e this kind of patriot. The Biblical Saints of England
eel( this country " unhappy, benighted Ireland ;" why,
there is more crime in one county of England than in the
*hole of Ireland. This is a proud and a glorious topic :
lye are obedient to the civil laws ; we have abolished crime;
e are united, and shall we submit to crouch in slavery or
thraldom to creatures inferior to us ,to the very spawn of man-
kind? No !my countrymen, this cannot—it shall not—it will
not be•—(Shouts of applause, repeated several times, fol-
iTwed this declaration.)--I am not drawing an over-
t`Targed picture of the tranquillity of the laud. A short
woe since three robbers attacked the house of a Protestant
Gentleman in Tipperary ; the Roman Catholic curate and
4!* flock were leaving their chapel when the alarm was
given,
they jumped over the ditches, scoured the country
4 Pursuit of the robbers, and one noble fellow actually

"*Y at the Brunswickers' Constitutional Clubs. At
mother time, when they were absent at church, I sup-
-1,),(4e, the villagers who had a hint stopped a robber, and
drove him out of the county. The people are the best
Police : we all are honest now. Shakspeare, in that part
of 3facketle which is not acted, makes a mother tell her
"1", "MY child, be honest or you'll be hanged." " Why,
Inatren
they are,
are all knaves hanged ? the knaves are fools if
are, for there are three knaves to one honest man !" In
England there are, indeed, three knaves to one honest man.
In Ireland there are one thousand honest men to one knave.
At the late Dublin dinner a Judge, and one about to be a
Judge, joined in the orgies. Master Ellis is the Judge;
he
gave 10,500/. for the office—he got it for value re-
e‘'ived• He came this circuit with me about twelve years
ago. Patronage he did not want—the High Church
party would willingly push him forward—nay, some of
them tried him, and gave him briefs ; but in the end they
tame to me, and while I was advancing in my profestion
Master Ellis was not going back—for there was no " back"
for him to go. It reminds me of a private, one Felix
*earthy, in the Kerry Militia, who was generally late
On parade. " Ah, Felix," said the serjeant, "you are al-
Ways last." "Be easy, Serjeant Sullivan," was his reply,
sure some one must be last !" So in the law some one
Must be last, and Ellis was that one. As he was unable
to get briefs as a lawyer, he thought he was qualified to be
`judge, and he purchased the judicial office of Master
of Chancerys At that dinner, too, Mr. Saurin made
speech—this saint of Orangeism, who would pollute
the sacred ermine of justice by party bigotry.—
And Serjeant Lefroy was at this feast.—Lefroy, who
Walks to Church on Suuday, with his children, each car-
qiug a prayer-book large enough to cover him, freighted

" why." I take the fact as I find it on the broad

etc Claudius Beresford—he, from the murders

)000 its calla a little) might recently have put us down,
but now that streams, rivers of gore would be necessary.
•,...He calls himself a Protestant, hut is not, for he is no

,hristian ; he is a colleague of Lefroy—of the praiser of
1/4ttriti's letter. The colleague of Beresford to be a Judge !
The sympathetic link of the Catholic rent has corniuuni-
