vas so characterli ed. The wfiole- age of the
tangit -
Meeting had the same tendency. One said, f‘ that
they had returned Mr. Ellis to Parliament, but the
!_.eislatttre had unconstitutionally interposed. In'
the next sentence he said, " the Guild were com-
posed of sober citizens—(A laugh)—the Parliament
h..d no right to deprive them of their just right."---.
The Noble Lord opposite was not the only Member
who was attacked on this occasion. 'this Meeting
dealt its 'bleeders on all sides of the House. His
Honourable and Learned Friend, the MeMber for
Knaresborinigh (Sir James Mackintosh), came in also
for his share. One of these eloquent Gentlemen
reprobated the i*pudent assertion of Sir allies
Mackintosh, .Member for the obscure Borough of
);naresborough, in Yorkshire—( Loud laughing)—
rho dared to -legislate for the Citizens of Dublin !"
Wats:sued laughter)--It was remarkable too, that
;his language had all been uttered by servants of the
rrown, by the Chiefs of an Orange faction, who
thought nobody loyal but themselves—(Hear, hear,
heat). If, after the impression which what he just
teal bad excited, the House would think that it was
necessary to proceed any farther, he would move,
" That the Master and Secretary of the Guild of Mer-
chants of Dublin be ordered to attend at the Bar of the
Hoese, and to produce. the book in which these Re-
solutions were entered ;" for he believed they had not
been published. Upon the suggestion of some Mem-
bers near him, the Hon. Baronet said, he thought it
wonld be also necessary to have the Printer of the Pa-
per, from which he read the Resolutious, called to
toe' Bat of the. House. He added, therefore, " That
Jean Magee, the Printer of the Dublin Evening Post,
should attend at the Bar of the House."

Lord CASTLEREAGH would put it to the lion.
Batonett and to the House, whether it was really de-
sirable to take up the matter in this way ? For his
own part he thought not, for the language referred
to was so very unlikely to have any weight with any
sensible pet son-.-(Hatr). The tone was altogether
so calculated to render such expressions perfectly
harmless—(Hear, hear)—that it seemed to him to be
the most dignified course to pass it over with con-
tempt—(Hear). He felt also, that it would not be
altogether fair to take a printer in Dublin from his
business, and order him to come over to attend at the
Bar of the House, OR such.a ground as 'this.
Mr. DALY.thought the House must agree with
Lis Noble Friend, particularly when they saw that
na one could treat the expressions mentioned with
snore contempt than the Members to whom they
were applied—( Hear, hear).
Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH said, that as he had
his share of the abuse, he willingly contributed his
tare of forifiveuess--(Laugitter).
iir JOHN NEWPORT said, that seeing the con-
tzmpt with 'which the expressions were treated, he
wt.uld be the last mien Au the House to magnify
them into importance. He had no objection, there-
fore, to withslraw •his motion, though the House
would lee; that in lyibgifig the subject under its no-
tice, be had cldne no more than his doty--(Hear).
Sir GEORGE HILL said, he felt himself peculi-
arly calla on to make a few observations.
Lord CASTLEREAGH apprehended there was
no questitm before the House.

Sir GEORGE HILL said, that he had only been
in possession of the facts alluded to a few hours, and
he thought it doe, not only to the connexion which
he held with the persons referred to, but also to the
esteem which, exclusive of all political feelings, he
entertained for his Right Hon. Friend on the floor, to
make a few observations. But if there was no ques-
t:on before the House, he supposed he could not be
allowed to make them.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT withdrew his Motion.
