An important public meeting was held yester-
day in the Town-hall of Birmingham, on the subject
of Ireland, when the warmest sympathy was express-
ed for that aggrieved country; and a solemn.protest
was recorded against the prosecution, trial, sentence,
and imprisonment of Mr. O'CONNELL and his co-de
fondants. ,A few, among-many of the reasons, which
induced the meeting to record this protest, are con-
tained in the following significant passage :---" Be-
cause the prosecution has been characterised by cir-
cumstances exhibiting an unfair influence over the
right administration of justice ; the suspicious disap-
pearance from the jury-list of the names of a number
of Roman Catholics, whereby the jury, instead
of being composed of twelve creditable ; men
who were neighbOurs to the fact, and unexceptionable
to the parties concerned, was constituted exclusively
of the religious and political opponents of the ac-
cused; the marked bias against . the defendants of one
of the judges who presided; the conflicting opinions
of the Court on several points of law daring the
trial ; the vague and undefined nature of the imputed
offence; and the refusal of a new trial; notwithstand-
• •
ing the judicial decision, of Judge PERRIN that the
traversers were entitled to it."

reasons, Which will be sure to:make an impression on
the minds of intelligent and impartial English-
Men. The language in which they are conveyed,
