Mr. R. LEYGESTER, M.P. felt great delight
porting the resolution proposed by the Noble Earl. cop
always supported the measure of Catholic relief to' the_aot
most of his power. He looked upon this as the' r'-dat
and most beneficial measure that had occurred 'ilice„,,el
Revolution. It was absolutely necessary, to the st tar .
tion of the Constitution—of which exclusion was
character. The measure was alike one of policy, Pr;
and humanity. It was not a Catholic or a Protel'ilor
but a Christian question.—(Hear.)—lts adjusttneot

of the Meeting, he could not refuse whatever aid he i' to,

religious freedom owed to the living and the dead. it vitshere
the dead that lie should first call their attention---

jhis included many individuals whom it was not the ob-
ect of to-day's meeting more particularly to commemorate.
We had to think, however, not only of the illustrious
dead, who welcomed the spirit of civil and religious liberty
at a time when but very few welcomed it,—like the nymph
Whom we would praise, and still fewer love : to them
first were we to direct our attention,—next to the efforts
of that.great political party which could have no more il-
lustrious representative than the Venerable Nobleman now

nis superiority to narrow prejudices, achieved a victory
Oyer himself, and afforded an instance of rare moral cou-
rage and high-mindedness in our days.—(Cheering.)
Mr. J. CORBY seconded the motion.
Mr. HUNT did not rise to oppose the motion, hut wished
to call attention to one name among those of the living,
Which it was somewhat extraordinary did not occur in
these resolutions. Ile meant the name of the Marquis of
ithenees--.(Hear.)--If there was any one man in parti-
cular to whom the people of Ireland were principally in-
debted for the success of the measure of relief, in his
humble opinion it was to that Noble Lord.—(Cheers.)—
This was the conclusion at which he had arrived, after
reading the official correspondence recently published.
• The Resolution was agreed to.
Mr. LAWLESS rose to propose the introduction of a Re-
solution which he felt it to be his duty to offer to the con-
ald•ration of the meeting, although it was not included in
those fixed upon by the Committee. First, however, he
would take this opportunity to express his disbelief of the
stories circulated about the King's reluctance to assent to
Catholic Emancipation: He had been a witness of his
Majesty's kindliness of conduct in Ireland, and he knew it
to be the fact, that the Sovereign's sentiments, as expressed
at his own private table, were the same as those that were
110 W generally entertained at what he might call the great
social table of the Empire. We owed a debt of gratitude
to the Marquis of Anglesea,—one of the greatest, best, and
most generous soldiers that ever lived,—one who rapped
loudly at the door of the Constitution in our behalf, until
he broke it open and admitted the people.—(llear.)
Let us associate his name with that of our other benefac-
tors, and have an illustrious triumvirate in the persons of
the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Peel, and the Marquis of
Anglesea.—(Cheers.)—He would move—
" That the gratitude of this Meeting, representing as it
does the feelings of the Irish people, is hereby offered to
the Most Noble the Marquis of Anglesea, for his impartial
administration of the Government of Ireland, and that
We feel it a duty we owe to that distinguished soldier to
acknowledge, that to his ardent sensibility to the griev-
400es of Ireland, and to his zealous remonstrances on
behalf of the Irish nation, the splendid results now en-
joyed are greatly to be attributed."
Mr. HUNT seconded the motion.
Some embarrassment was occasioned by the proposition,
and a pause took place in the proceedings.
The Cnstastast addressed a few words to the Meeting,
Which, owing to the feeble tone in which the Noble Earl
spoke, were not audible at the distance of three yards from
the Chair.

Mr. J. GRATTAN believed the Noble Lord had not been
heard by the Meeting. The Noble Chairman appeared to
think the motion irrelevant, and that we should go on with
the resolutions prepared by the Committee.
Several persons said Mr. Lawless's resolution had been
regularly moved and seconded, and could not now be got
rid of otherwise than by adopting or rejecting it.
Mr. LAWLESS-4 have originated a resolution which
must sink deep into the heart of every man who heard it.
After a further pause and consultation among the Mem-
bers of the Comniittee,
The Earl of DARNLET said it might perhaps be worthy
of consideration how far the difficulty felt and expressed by
the Noble Chairman on the subject of the proposed resolu-
tion ought to weigh with the meeting. He had no hesita-
tion in saying, for one, that if the question were put on
the resolution, he would not only vote for it, but support
It with the utmost cordiality. But for the judicious and
'partial administration of the Marquis of Anglesea in Ire-
land, he (Lord Darnley) did riot believe we should have
met to-day for our present object. The only question was
whether the meeting would defer to the scruples of the
chair, or insist upon having the resolution put. (Loud
cries to put the resolution.)
The Earl of BECTIVE concurred in every respect in the
sentiments expressed by the Noble Earl who had just sat
down.

The Hon. Mr. CLIFFORD said he had declined being in
the committee, but be thought they had adopted the more
judicious course in omitting a resolution such as that now
proposed by Mr. Lawless, against which he should hold
up his hand.

Mr. O'CONNELL could not sit silent on this occasion;
he would not be an Irishman if he did ; he did not ap-
prove' of a departure from the order of the meeting, but he
could not help approving of the generous ardour of his
friend Mr. Lawless, in not permitting the day to pass over
without an attempt to obtain an acknowledgment of the
great services conferred upon Ireland by the Marquis of
Anglesea. The Hon. Gentleman, after eulogising the
conduct of the Noble Marquis in his Irish government,
sliced, was his name to be passed over without acknowledg-
ment ? The Marquis of Anglesea had shown himself a friend
to Ireland when it was dangerous to be so—it became the
Catholics to thank him..(Cheers.) The conduct of the
Roman Catholics since the victory which they had
obtained, not over, but with their Protestant fellow-sub-
jects, had nothing in it of asperity, triumphant insolence,
or acrimony. Who prepared them for that ?—the Mar-
quis of Anglesea. He knew the state of public feeling in
Ireland when the noble Lord arrived in that country, and
he felt it his duty now to declare that the aptitude to re-
ceive emancipation as it. had been received by the Catho-
lieg--- their readiness to confide iu the Government and
•tinite in harmony.with their Protestant countrymen—
nxilltioated with the Marquis of Anglesea. (Hear.) The
ar-
is's name had been mentioned. Should it be told
to.
ln°Frove that a vote of thanks was refused to him?
re
9elll, and cries of " No, no.") T here might be differ-
:flees.. of opinion and disagreements between the noble
itfarquis and other distinguished statesmen ; it was not
Oil (Mr. O'Connell's) wish to aggravate them, but the
Present motion stood on its own grounds. Lord Anglesea's
shcnn_dOet_ o . Monday last in not pressing for a division
"eel his own desire for conciliation. He trusted such
a reconciliation might take place between the noble Mar-
quis and the Duke of Wellington as would enable the
latter to send back the 'Marquis of Anglesea as Viceroy to
Ireland. (Cheers.) He owed it to the Marquis of
Anglesea to say, he (Mr. O'Connell) abandoned public
meetings for ever if they could do any thing so ungrateful
as refuse the vote of thanks now proposed.
Mr. Wrsx was of opinion that the meeting should
settle this opportuity of thanking Lord Anglesea; and that
.;" Duke of Wellington, so far from censuring or being
"i'Pleaied at their conduct in this respect, would take it
" the surest test of their real gratitude to himself, and
their desire to conciliate existing differences.
The SECRETARY said, no language could do justice to
what he individually knew of the Marquis of Anglesea's
high deserts. He now, however, wished to state what
had come officially to his knowledge. The resolutions
agreed Upon were sent by the Committee to every Member
of the Houses of Lords and Commons, without distinction.
Those who had voted for Catholic Emancipation were in-
vited to add their names to the Committee—those who
voted differently were not asked to do so, from a feeling
of delicacy. Lord Anglesea was among the number to
whom the invitation was conveyed, and he sent Colonel
Cosset to me, to say, that if the Committee thought that
in delicacy he should be a member of their body, he would
become so. In all events he was determined to be a sub-
scriber to the proposed statue.--(Cheers.)—This speaks
vohames for the character of the Marquis of Anglesea.
The Resolution was then put and agreed to unanimously,
amidst much cheering.
Mr. J. GRATTAN pronounced a warm panegyric on the
Administration of the Marquis of Anglesea. The Hon.
Gentleman moved the following resolution :
I‘ That, in order to perpetuate to the remotest genera-
tions these feelings of just acknowledgment, and at the
game time to record, that religious freedom was won by
the same great Captain who restored national independence
to E"eoPe, and give security to this Empire, ' a voluntary
subscription be now entered into for the purpose of erect-
ing, in or near Dublin, a statue of his Grace the Duke
of Wellington, commemorative of this the most glorious of
his public servicee.'"
Mr. SOLLY FLOOD seconded the motion.
Mr. STEELE proposed to omit the words " that religious
freedom was won by the same great Captain who restored
national independence to Europe, and gave security to this
• empire."

The amendment having been seconded by Mr. MINT,
who digressed from the question into a discussion on tithes,

LATEST NEWS FROM MANCHESTER.

The riots at Manchester and the surrounding dis-
tricts absorb public attention in such a degree, at the
present moment, as to throw the disorders in Spital-
fields into the shade. In another part of our Paper
we have given very full particulars of what took
place in Manchester up to Tuesday night, and we
here insert the communication of a very intelligent
correspondent, dated yesterday morning, up to the
period of the mail's departure :

"MANCHESTER, MAY 6,
" NINE O'CLOCK, WEDNESDAY MORNING.

'6 We are quiet this morning, but not settled.
The mob last night attempted to set fire to a factory
belonging to the Messrs. PARKERS, and near to the
one they burnt on Monday belonging to the same
individuals. Slighter acts of violence occurred dur-
ing the night, but the military and police were on
the alert, and prevented further mischief.

" The disturbance is not confined to Manchester,
but to a certain degree pervades all the surrounding
towns. These regard Manchester as the great focus
by which all their operations are regulated.
" By advices from Rochdale the mob has been
very active in that place, and one report even goes so
far as to affirm that four people were shot by the
military.

" Expresses for more troops arrived here from
Burnley, Blackburn, and even from Preston.
" This looks very alarming, as it shows that a
previous concert and system of acting had been
determined on by the rioters, for the disturb-
ance extends throughout the manufacturing districts.
However, the Magistrates have been prompt to
meet it here, and they do not apprehend much vio-
lence hereafter, as the town is now reinforced by the
arrival of fresh troops, and more are hourly expected."

We have only space merely to direct attention to
a report of the very interesting proceedings which
took place yesterday at the London Tavern, with
reference to a subscription for erecting a Statue in
honour of the Duke of WELLINGTON. The Meeting
was most splendid.

The news in the French Papers from Odessa only
serve to confirm all our previous information respect-

ing the activity which prevails for opening the can..

paig,n. We have no room for extracts.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 01 CLOCK;

Accounts have been received at Liverpool that a very
destructive fire bad taken place at Augusta, Georgia,
which consumed upwards of 200 houses and stores. In
political or foreign intelligence this is a complete blank
day, but the information received from the manufacturing
districts, particularly the vicinity of Manchester, is pain-
fully interesting, and it is with great regret we observe
that the disturbances have settled into a system of highway
robbery of the most wanton description.

In the English Funds there appears but little doing. Con-
sols have been 87i nearly all the morning; at one time,
however, they were near 871, but with no symptom indi-
cative of a material change until after to-morrow evening,
when the Chancellor of the Exchequer opens his Budget.
India Bonds, 50 2 pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 68 9 pm.
The Foreign Funds have had little or no business trans-
acted in them ; Brazilian Bonds and Portuguese are rather
lower, the former having been done at 53, and the latter
at 444; Danish, 65 ; and Russian, 95i 6.
In Shares there is no alteration. The following informs-
tion has been stated to us, relative to the new Silk Regu-
lation Bill to be read to-day, and if it is correct, of which
we have little doubt, it is very important :—it is said the
duty on China piece goods of silk was 10s. per lb., which
operated as a duty of about 30 per cent. ad valorum. By
the new Bill it is altered to 18s. per lb., which will
operate nearly double, and amounts to a total prohibition
of this clause in the Act. The principal importers had
no intimation till last night.

FURTHER DESTRUCTION of PROPERTY

IN SPITALFIELDS-(1 HIS DAY.)

The unlawful proceeding of cutting out silks from the
looms is still continued in Spitalfields. Last night about
19 additional crimes of this kind were committed, making
the whole of the looms so destroyed amount to nearly 100.
The master manufacturers had a long Meeting last
night, at which the return to the book prices principally
was discussed, and the result was, that a communication
was made, at nine o'clock last night, to the Committee of
the Weavers, that if a deputation of 12 weavers were se-
lected from the body of weavers, 12 manufacturers would
have an interview on the part of the trade with them.
The Committee of the Weavers met this morning, at
eight o'clock, at the Crown and Cushion, Waterloo New
Town, and, up to a late hour, had not decided what
course to pursue. _

There nre numerous Meetings of the hands, at different
places, this afternoon ; and, as it is understood that 12 of
the manufacturers have agreed to return to the book prices,
a sanguine expectation is indulged that when the Meeting
between the trade and the delegates takes place, some
amicable arrangement will be come to.
The immediate cause of the late proceedings was an at-
tempt on the part of the manufacturing houses further to
decrease the wages of the men. One establishment is
giving out 80 yards of three singles, stating that 1/. only
would be paid for weaving, being at the rate of 3d. per
yard, and which would take the weaver three weeks to
com plete.
Trade in Spitalfields is completely at a stand. There
were no buyers in the market yesterday, and none of the
manufacturers will give out silk.

The result of the Meeting with the masters is anxiously
looked for.

OVERTURNING OF THE TAUNTON FLY
Vwx.—About four o'clock this morning Messrs. WAL-
LINGTON and Co.'s fly van, while proceeding through the
Strand, from Taunton, heavily laden with luggage, to the
Castle Inn, Aldersgate-street, was overturned opposite The
San Newspaper Office, which accident nearly proved fatal
to the coachman and another individual. It having been
found necessary to open the ground in the middle of the
road to get at the sewer, a hole was dug to the depth of
between four and five feet, and about as many wide,which
the coachman endeavoured to pass—when, in consequence
of the vehicle being loaded at the top to a considerable
height with fiats of butter, &c. it immediately upset, pre-
cipitating the coachman into the excavation, in which a
ma❑ was at the tine employed. The watchmen and
several other persons instantly rendered assistance, but it
was solely in consequence of the harness not immediately
admitting the haunches of the horse reaching quite to the
bottom of the hole that they were enabled to extricate them-
selves Irons their perilous situation, and from being crushed
to death, though not before the coachman had received a
kick on the hip from the horse, and the man employed in
he hole hatl•been cut on the side of temple, but fortunately
neither were much injured. The guard was also thrown
from his seat, but was not hurt. One hour had elapsed
before the poor animal could be forced out of the hole. It
was several times in contemplation to kill it, so hopeless
was the probability of extricating it. The van was shortly
cleared of its contents, and properly adjusted, though
very much damaged.
