THE TRADES' UNION.-A ROW.

DUBLIN. Oct. s.—After the proceedings last night at the
Trades' Union" here, Theobald's-row, Codgers' Hall, and all
other receptacles for low radicals may hide their diminished
heads. A row, a Royal Irish row, took place, begun by that
prince of patriots, that " genius of the ring"—the proposer and
abettor of Jack Langan, the boxer—Mistlmr Tom Reynolds.
It appears Tom dined out, and whether from the whisky being
new, or his powers of suction out of order, it cannot be ascer-
tained, but he came right regularly fuddled—in that happy state
when the organs of love and combativeness combined are alone
in operation ; or, as the song describes it, when.—
" If he meet with a friend he for love knocks him down."
When Torn entered the room he found the chair vacant, but
looking mood he encountered a poor, half-blind, stupid, old
bricklayer, named Pemberton, whom, " will he nill he," he
compelled to preside. This part of the business having been
done, one of the secretaries said the Trades of Dublin had come
to the resolution of starting O'Connell and Henry Grattan as
candidates for the city on the next election—(loud cheers)_.
Grattan, of course, to be the member for the drunken unionists,
Tom Reynolds stood up then, and a scene of recrimination,
abuse, and noise ensued. Tow was accused of being drunk,
which he politely denied with—" You lie, I'm not." This and
such like language increased the turmoil, until at length the
members took Reynolds—their vice-president, the tithe martyr,
the paragon of patriots—by the neck and heels, and tumbled
him down stairs into the street.

" Even at the base of Nelson's pillar great Reynolds fell.
Then you and I and all of us fell down,
And bloody tradesmen trampled o'er us."
These are the " boys" who sae to strike terror into the lords

HIGH SHERIFF VEEVER'S DINNER.

A most gratifying display of " the feast of reason and now
of soul " took place last evening at Morrison's, on the occasion
of the High Sheriff's inauguration dinner.
When the health of the Right Hon. P. Shaw, M.P., Recorder
of the city, was drunk, he returned thanks, and in doing $o
took occasion to say that it would be expected upon the present
occasion that be should give some account of the Parliamentary
• proceedings of the fast session for himself and diode with
whom he acted. He could not, indeed, say that they were able
to do a great deal, but then it could not be denied that they
prevented a good deal of mischief. (t-tear, hear ) The only
boast the present Government could make was, that they have
been able to keep their places, and that they had bartered their
power to the Radicals ; tint there was no natural connection
or unity or sentiment between them ; there was merely this
sort of inverse relation between them, one giving to the other
office, and they in return giving their influence ; and-that re
lationship is kept op by one means or other so long as each
party can be of service. (Hear.) IVbat has been the conse-
quence of such conduct as regarded their home or foreign
policy ? It was, that the Government was despised at home
and ridiculed abroad ; they found by such conduct that the
glory and honour of the British arms had been tarnished, and
even the glory of the British name seemed to be departing
from them. (Hear.) He sincerely trusted that such things
could not last long. He congratulated this country that the
English people were awaking from the slumber which followed
the mania of the Reform Bill, and that at last a great portion
of them, as well as many respectable Whigs who have sup.
ported the present Government, were as much opposed as any
Conservative to the system of universal suffrage, and what wits
called an Organic change in the House of Lords. It was said
by the leader of a certain faction in Ireland that it was with
bitter pleasure he announced that the people of England were
hostile to justice for Ireland : but he (the hon. and learned
gentleman) thanked God they were hostile to what he called
justice to Ireland, for it meant nothing less than persecution
and oppression by the dominant faction, and by an intolerant
sect, led on by priestly agitators. They were told, forsooth,
that that lender spoke the sentiments of the greater portion of
the people of Ireland. According to him they wish the question
of the Union to have a fair trial ; hut, nevertheless, that fair
trial was to he after a true Irish fashion, because he stated
that before the commencement of that trial, his judgment on
the subject was incite up and fixed, and there could be no jos-
lice done for Ireland except by a Parliament of her own. He,
however, trusted that the time was not far distant when every
moderate and sober-minded man would becot»e united for the
salvation of this country;' and he would recommend then' on
the one hand to have a prudent regard to the altered state of
the laws under the existing state of society and circumstances ;
but On the other to have the resolution and determination to
HCCllrding to the old true Protestant principles of the
British Constitution, and the form of government, namely, the
King, Lord
dom for thesi3arlitd C"umns'which offered more rational free-
people in the civil?' people than was ever enjoyed by any other
Civilized world. (Cheers.)—Morning Post.
